1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. State of Io has

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: some problems with its caucus. We have people declaring victory.

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: We don't have results in We're gonna find out what's

4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: going on there. Plus, Trump isn't tired of winning yet.

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: You'll hear a lot about that tonight in his State

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: of the Union. You've got the Senate ready to vote

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: to acquit him Tomorrow, Big week, my friends, more coming

Speaker 1: up in just a moment. This is the Buck Sexton

9
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: Show or the mission or mission is to decode what

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: really matters with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake American, You're a

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins for analyst.

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: Remember the no tonight, an improbable home became an undeniable reality.

13
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: We don't know all the results, but we know by

14
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: the time that's all said and done, Iowa, you have

15
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: shocked the nation because by all indications, we are going

16
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: on to New Hampshire victorious, victorious, six up. They don't

17
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: know if they won a victory. Insofar as no one

18
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: knows who is victorious. Welcome to the Buck Saxon Show.

19
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: If you are here joining us, you are victorious because

20
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: you have made the best choice possible for your audio

21
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: listening today. I'm gonna tell you this right now. I

22
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: was not somebody who was all excited about the Iowa cocues.

23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to know the result. I was not

24
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: somebody who was playing the game, staying up all night.

25
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't live tweeting it. I didn't get too into

26
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: the details of this. To me, it always reminds me

27
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of the political version of punk Sitani Phil.

28
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: There's all these little rules that everyone gets so excited

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: about it, but what does it really all mean? You know,

30
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: why don't we just have votes? I know there are

31
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: other states, by the way, that have caucuses, although fewer

32
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: and fewer now, there are a handful I think about

33
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: a half dozen or so that have that have a

34
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: caucus system, and Nevada has a caucus system, so there

35
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: there are a few places that have this. But to me,

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: it makes just very little sense. I know, people don't

37
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: don't bust out the history lesson. I know that caucuses

38
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: have a long and storied history in this country. But

39
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, now we have electricity and everyone has running

40
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: water and TVs and air conditioning, and I think we

41
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: could probably figure out a way to do this a

42
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: little bit more efficiently. I'm just I'm just saying, if

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: you want to know, the current way that it goes

44
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: is you have people. They show up. In Iowa, it

45
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: was to one of almost seventeen hundred precincts, So already

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: you got to look at this like, wow, that's that's

47
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: going to be a mess. Almost seventeen hundred precincts. And

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: people show up and they cast there, they stand in groups.

49
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: There's not that many of them because i was not

50
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: that biggest state and there's not that many people taking

51
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: part in the Democrat primary. And then they go and

52
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: they stand on a different side of the room depending

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: on which candidate is their first choice. And then if

54
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: the candidate doesn't get fifteen percent, then they have the

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: option of moving to join another candidate, to walk to

56
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: actually physically moved to join that group. And they've made

57
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: some rule changes and I think now you can only

58
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: switch from your initial candidate if the candidate is less

59
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: than fifteen percent. And you know, there's all this stuff.

60
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, well, this is why the party activists are

61
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: so into this, because they have outside influence in the

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: whole process. But here's the long and the shorter of

63
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: the folks. It was a total mess. It was a

64
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: total mess. You a headline today, Iowa blows its caucus.

65
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a really bad scene because the

66
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: Democrat Party decided to know the DNC apparatus in the

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: state of Iowa, decided that they would use an app,

68
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: use an app that was untested in order to tabulate votes.

69
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: It was a pretty straightforward process. Why they used a

70
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: company that I believe is called shadow Ink, so as

71
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: if there weren't going to be enough conspiracy theories out

72
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: there about how this was really all meant by the

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Democrat apparatus, the same Democrat apparatus that stole the primary

74
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: from Bernie Sanders in twenty sixteen. No question, they did

75
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: everything they could to make sure they handed it to

76
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Queen Hillary hollow what happened. They gave it to Hillary,

77
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: took it from Bernie Sanders this time around. You'd think

78
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: they'd be a little more sensitive to this. I don't

79
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: even know what happened here other than it's a mess.

80
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: Not only did they have an inability to use the

81
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: app properly, I guess the app crash right. They created

82
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: a smartphone application or computer application that's meant to tabulate

83
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: the results of all these different caucuses. It crashed, it froze,

84
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: whatever happened. But the backup to it was a phone

85
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: in line, a hot line to relay results to the

86
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: central Iowa Caucus's command center. And sure enough, that was busy.

87
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: People were unable to take the calls. And at one

88
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: point CNN I had to see this after the fact

89
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: the clip. CNN had a precinct captain or whatever you

90
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: call that, the caucus captain calling into the central hot

91
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: line and after waiting for an hour, just got hung

92
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 1: up on. That's a pretty good that's a pretty good

93
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: indication of how things went last night for the Democrats.

94
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: And you have to remember, these are the people that democrats,

95
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: the Democrat intelligentsia, the people running the DNC, running Democratic Party.

96
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: They are the people who want to be in control

97
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: of paying for your healthcare, deciding what healthcare you get,

98
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: what doctors you can go to, who you can see

99
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: that they say they're going to handle all of this

100
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be better and cheaper if they're in charge.

101
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: The same people who brought you by a calculation by Bloomberg,

102
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: which is I would assume a company that knows, even

103
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: though it's a media company, how to add and subtract

104
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: pretty well, right. Founded by a guy who's a businessman,

105
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: Michael Bloomberg, who's running for president right now. Bloomberg did

106
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: an estimate of the Obamacare website. Initially we were told

107
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: it was about it was roughly eight hundred million dollars

108
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: of cost for a website. My friends turned out it

109
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: was really more like when you add in all the

110
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: contractors and all the bells and whistles and the graft

111
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: and the corruption and all the other nonsense around this.

112
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: I mean, they wouldn't call it that, but that's what

113
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: it was. It's more like two billion dollars. Trump has

114
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: said five billion. That might be a long term costs

115
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: estimate of the site, but at a minimum. Bloomberg has said,

116
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: the Obamacare website. Remember talking about a website, folks, We're

117
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: not talking about building, you know, massive facilities, and this

118
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: is just an online entity that's supposed to handle data.

119
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: Two billion dollars of your money went to the Obamacare

120
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: website that, as we all remember, the day of the

121
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: enrollment crashed, wompomp. And now I'm sure we're going to

122
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: find out that the money spent on the Shadow Inc.

123
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm not making it up, folks. That is the development

124
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: company that decided to or that was picked to make

125
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: the app to tabulate the results in a state that

126
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: is critical for the establishment to deny to Bernie Sanders. Now,

127
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm just

128
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: saying it looks bad, and to people who are conspiracy theorists,

129
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: it looks like, uh okay, trying to take some of

130
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: the wind out of Bernie Sanders sales at a minimum.

131
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: Who knows if they're really going to claim that there

132
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: was anything beyond that. We'll have to see. This was

133
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: a great version of this though headline this morning CBS

134
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: News Republicans gloat over Iowa caucus meltdown. First of all,

135
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: notice how the word Democrat doesn't appear anywhere in that headline.

136
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: The Democrats held a caucus that is a disaster or

137
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: a debacle. No results last night, folks. I mean, this

138
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: is like an election where they're like, sorry, I don't

139
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. I mean, they'll probably have

140
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: all the data to day and it'll all be fine.

141
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: This isn't some major crisis, but they just look like

142
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of dufases. I mean, they look like clowns.

143
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: And remember the whole promise yere of the Democrats is

144
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: a return to a return to civility, or return to competency,

145
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: or return to better governance. That's what they offer you

146
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: if you get rid of Trump. Forget about all the numbers,

147
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: the prosperity, the stock market, unemployment, the economy. Forget all

148
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: of that better government from the Democrats, who in their

149
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: first moment to show, I mean, this is more than

150
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: just a caucus. It's the first time the whole country

151
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: has its eyes focused on a Democrat run election contest.

152
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: And it is a belly flop off the ten foot

153
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: high diving board with somebody who's got way too bad

154
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: of a sunburn on. I mean, it is rough, people know.

155
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: I like that analogy just because it's very visceral. We've

156
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: ever done a really bad belly flop when you have

157
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 1: a sunburn? That's no fun. Brucer Mark ever been there before? Yes,

158
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: he's nodding. Yes, you don't want to do that. It's

159
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: a lesson you really have to learn once. But the

160
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: Democrats messed up last night. The media, of course, is

161
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: doing the whole Republicans pounce. Republicans pounce, Well, what are

162
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: we supposed to do? We're actually not pouncing. We're laughing.

163
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: It's a different thing. We're laughing at them. We're not

164
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: really pouncing so much. That's that's too active. I'm sitting back,

165
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: rubbing my belly and guffawing at the clownish Democrats. So

166
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: they're trying to say, we're gloating, we're doing all these things.

167
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: And I can't help but notice that the political party

168
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: that dominates Silicon Valley and the faculty lounge of colleges

169
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: and universities seems to have a lot of trouble with

170
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: a smartphone app and basic arithmetic. You I think this

171
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: should be in their wheelhouse, right, This should be something

172
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: that they have greater ability to do. But sure enough

173
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: they do not. And now you have the different campaigns

174
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: all trying to spin that just sort of take this

175
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: and say, well, we won't sure because we don't know.

176
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: One let's just feel like our result is basically a win,

177
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: even though we don't have the results. It's a very

178
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: Democrat moment, you know, it's a very Democrat approach to this.

179
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: It's like everybody gets a trophy for first place. But

180
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: if everybody gets a trophy for first place, does that

181
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: mean anybody gets a trophy for first place? And Pete

182
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: Buddha Judge tweeted out, we started the show with him

183
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: just because you know he he needed this. If he

184
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: can't win an Iowa, he can't win anywhere Iowa. You

185
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: have shocked the nation. He tweeted out, by all indications,

186
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: we are going to New Hampshire victorious hashtag Iowa CAUCUSUS.

187
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: And then to that, I just would respond that declaring

188
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: victory before any results are in is really very on

189
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: brand for a ACRAT party that claims the twenty sixteen

190
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: election was stolen without a single vote being changed, and

191
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: the twenty election is illegitimate before a single vote has

192
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: been cast. The results are never the results if they

193
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: don't like them. That is the Democrat approach. They pretend

194
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: there's something else. Reality does not matter. The truth cannot

195
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: intrude on the narrative. So I suppose we should not

196
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: be surprised at all that what we saw was this

197
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: last night, this nonsense. But I would just say this

198
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: to you, America. Many of us thought that we go

199
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: to bed last night after seeing the troubling news that

200
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: a socialist had just won a statewide contest in Iowa.

201
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,119
Speaker 1: But instead we woke up to a reminder the Democratic

202
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: Party specializes in screwing things up and wasting your money.

203
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Hashtag winning hashtag America still has a shot because we

204
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 1: could see who these Democrats really are. It was fantastic.

205
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton

206
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Show podcast. They changed the rules and streamlined the process

207
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: because of what happened the last time too, Bernie Sanders.

208
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: So if anybody wanted to come out on top, you know,

209
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: if he finished at the top here tonight, that's one

210
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: more day of being on top. That's one more day

211
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: of momentum, It's one more day of raising money and attention.

212
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: And he has been denied that by this process. Some

213
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: people are noticing that, you know, Bernie Sanders, that was

214
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: Bro Cuomo. First of all, he's like, do you even lift, Bro?

215
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: And then second of all, he wants to make sure

216
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: everyone knows that Bernie Sanders is not exactly getting a

217
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: fair getting a fair shaken all this this was this

218
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: was Bernie's moment. I mean New Hampshire, He's New Hampshire

219
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: is going to be where he does the best. And

220
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: also the narrative has gone very quickly away from Joe Biden,

221
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: who in some places and again we don't know, I mean,

222
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm on air, and we'll probably know more later. But

223
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: in some places it was expected that he dramatically underperformed

224
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: what was expected for a so called front runner. Hey

225
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: what have I been saying? Team? I've been telling you

226
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: for how long? Now? It's not gonna be Biden. It's

227
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: not gonna be Biden's a loser. They know it. Biden's

228
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: a loser. It's not gonna happen. The part the party

229
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: apparatus is hoping that all of a sudden that will change.

230
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: That's why they keep that Biden is going to become

231
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: what they want him to be. But everyone kind of knows,

232
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean, and for some reason I'm wrong, and Biden

233
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: does run. I feel very confident that he will do

234
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: no better than Hillary Clinton did in twenty sixteen, which

235
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: means he will lose. But then again, the great part

236
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: about political predictions is you only talk about the ones

237
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: you get, right, So Cuomo says, Bernie Sanders have been

238
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: denied a victory, and I with another just noteworthy moment

239
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: here came from Elizabeth Warren. This is you know, she

240
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: shout out there now trying to tell everybody to get

241
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: excited about how you know she's just gonna be the

242
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: president that you've always hoped for, one who just makes

243
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: it up as she goes along. She's by the way,

244
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: I mean, she's really in line with Bernie. But you

245
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: have to break out a very fine magnifying glass in

246
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: order to see the differences in policy between Warren and Sanders.

247
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're quite close. We think that gets

248
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: lost the media narrative. But this was a line that

249
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: I thought was very interesting from Warren last night. Remember,

250
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: they don't have results, they don't know who won the caucus.

251
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Here's what Warren is saying, play a priest of Mark fourteen. Please,

252
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: what's a night is for every undocumented, unafraid organizer and

253
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: volunteer proudly knocked on doors to let the world know

254
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: that the path to progress run through courage, not fear. Now,

255
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this because i'd like to know

256
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: what the response is. We have been told now for

257
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: years that it is a violation of the Emolument's clause

258
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: because of foreign foreign money going to Trump via diplomats

259
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: in DC buying Hamburgers at the Trump hotel. That's a

260
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: real thing. The Washington Post, I mean, the most serious,

261
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: so called serious news organizations in the country will run this.

262
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: We have been told countless times about foreign interference in

263
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: the election, in this case of Ukraine, just even talking

264
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: to a Ukrainian counterpart about something when nothing happens. They

265
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: wanted to say that was a campaign donation, a campaign

266
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: donation to Trump an a legal one was with the

267
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: initial claim of the impeachment lunatics, and then of course

268
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: Russia Trump putin collusion, which is a fantasy, but a

269
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: massive false conspiracy that they've been spreading. I need someone

270
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: to approach me and sit down, who's who's not aftwing

271
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: loon and explain how it is not foreign interference and

272
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: perhaps even an in kind donation or assistance to an

273
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: assistance to a specific campaign for undocumented aka illegal aliens.

274
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Undocumented is a made up term that does not appear

275
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: in the legal code anywhere. Illegal aliens people not of

276
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: legal status in the United States, to assist a campaign,

277
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: how is that not foreign interference in the election. They

278
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: all come for foreign countries, folks, I know this is

279
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: they're all subject to a jurisdiction not of our own,

280
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: unless unless we're going to claim that everybody who's actually no,

281
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: that's right, they would all be subject to the foreign

282
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: jurisdiction thereof, or at least unless I'm missing some loophole here,

283
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: How is it not the case that foreigners which I

284
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: mean if you're an illegal alien, People would say, oh,

285
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: even what about people that are brought here? You know,

286
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: the dreamers. Dreamers are born somewhere else. They have citizenship

287
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: in some other country, or at least they should. They

288
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: certainly have a claim to it. So if you were

289
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: a foreigner on US soil and you were going door

290
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: to door to knock knock on doors for Elizabeth Warren's campaign,

291
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: how is that not foreign interference in the election? So

292
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, you're allowed to assist to the campaigner. I

293
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: mean I have to get into the election law specifics here.

294
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: You're allowed to help, You're allowed to donate your time,

295
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: which is a you know, remember a thing of value.

296
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: That was what we're always told a thing of value.

297
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: Information can be a thing of value. Remember the Trump

298
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: Tower meeting a thing of value? Sitting down with Donald

299
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: Trump junior just saying, hey, I want to tell you

300
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: about something Hillary Clinton did. Oh that's and she's Russian.

301
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: You can't have that. So you can't have somebody sit

302
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: down and have a conversation with somebody who's foreign, but

303
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: you can't have foreigners going door to door doing work

304
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: that other people would get paid for to help your campaign.

305
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: Does anyone want to take take take a knock at

306
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: this one? How is it not foreign interference in our

307
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: election for a legal aliens to be directly assisting that

308
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: can pain by her own admission of Elizabeth Warren and

309
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure other Democrats too. Someone to explain that to me.

310
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember

311
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever

312
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. I spent a lot of time

313
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: in Iowa campaigning for Paul Simon, Barack Obama, and others

314
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: Hilary Clinton over the years. They're wonderful people, and the

315
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Democrats there are a great bunch of supporters of our

316
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: party events values. Having said that, I think the Democratic

317
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: cox in Iowa is a quirky, quaint tradition which should

318
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: come to an end. Wait a second, Hold on a minute.

319
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: I thought Democrats were all about process. I thought Democrats

320
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 1: gave us speeches all the time, whether we want them

321
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: or not, about the sanctity of our elections, the need

322
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: to do the need to respect all the different rules

323
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: and processes that we have in place. And they talk

324
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: about this so much. I mean, think about Nancy Pelosi's

325
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's speech is recently about how much she loves

326
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: the founders or the constitutionated. You know, the guys who

327
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: are on the guys who are on our money. They're great,

328
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: all of them. You know, you have to look at

329
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: this and say, hold on a minute. Here we have

330
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: another time when the Democrats don't like a result and

331
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: they're willing to throw the process out. This is true

332
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court. Oh let's just stack it with

333
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: more people if we don't get our way. It's true

334
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: of the primary process. It's true of the general election

335
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: process with the electoral college. Trump wins, let's get rid

336
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: of the electoral college. Trump doesn't get removed by a

337
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: two thirds majority of the US Senate, which will happen

338
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: hopefully tomorrow. But assuming that that's the way it goes,

339
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna say why do we even have senators? Why

340
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: do we even have this federalist system? Now, it will

341
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: be one thing if they had been saying that all along,

342
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: if they really believe that they know better than the founders,

343
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: which we know libs do. I mean, leftists always think

344
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: they know better. They ignore history and then pretend that

345
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: somehow history is on their side and tell us that

346
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 1: they know what should be done with everything. But when

347
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: they tell us in this case that they want to

348
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: get rid of either it's the two thirds majority, you know,

349
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: they want a constitutional amendment. They'll never get that, so

350
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: they probably won't want that, but they're just gonna complain.

351
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: They're gonna whine. They're gonna say that it's it's wrong

352
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: that that two senators come from a state like New Hampshire,

353
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: a state like Vermont, although maybe not because Bernie Sanders

354
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: is from there, so they got to protect that, but

355
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: that these smaller states with smaller populations have the same

356
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: representation in the Senate as states like California and New

357
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: York and Texas and you know, big states, and they

358
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: act like they've never had a basic civics lesson and

359
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: they don't have an understanding of the ideas that the

360
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Founders wrestled with and why they came up with the

361
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: system that they do. And I've got to tell you

362
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: not giving enough credit right now to the Founders. They

363
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: came up with something. I mean, forgot about what the

364
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: Democrats say, because that's all just lip service. They know

365
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: nothing about it. They don't care about the Founding. Nancy

366
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Pelosi is an ignoramus about us history. Forget all that, right,

367
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: But the Founders managed to have a system in place that,

368
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: even with the Democrats completely losing their minds in our

369
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: current era over Trump and willing to do anything to

370
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: lie about the President, to put them through a special

371
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,239
Speaker 1: counsel investigation, which who knows what the Founders would have

372
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: even thought of that, right, you know, you look at

373
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: some of these things, you say, look what the president's

374
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: already been through. But they were smart enough, smart enough

375
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: to make sure that if you're going to remove a president,

376
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: if you're going to undo the will of the American

377
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: people as expressed through a national election, you better be

378
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: darn shore. And darn shore means sure a majority, a

379
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: majority in the House of Representatives, but also two thirds

380
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: of the Senate, a lot of wisdom, a lot of

381
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: wisdom that continues to the current day. They recognized that

382
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: the passions of short term partisanship could reach it reach

383
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: their current level. Obviously we would through a civil war

384
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: in the middle of the nineteenth century. I mean, there

385
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: have been times when partisan passions have overridden the system

386
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: even I mean, nothing is perfect, nothing is impervious. But today,

387
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: or I should say really tomorrow, this week, we will

388
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: be reminded very much of the genius of the founding,

389
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: the understanding that if you're going to have a system

390
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: of parties that are in opposition to each other when

391
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: it comes to things like this, when it comes to

392
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: the really, really big stuff, you want to make sure

393
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: that this isn't just petty, spiteful partisan nonsense. And we

394
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: have that because the founders were smarter than Schumer and

395
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: Pelosi and Chief and yes, even a whole lot of

396
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: Republicans today. I mean, there was a genius, in a

397
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: genius in what they did. But the willingness to throw

398
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: out the system the moment that it no longer suits

399
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: their needs. I mean, this has become really a calling

400
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: card for Democrats. This has become something that they're completely

401
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: comfortable with, and they see no hypocrisy in it. There's

402
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: no irony, there's no oh, well when it works in

403
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: our favor, you know when in the House of Representatives,

404
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: and we just saw this play out with this impeachment

405
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: fiasco the House of Representatives. They have the majority of

406
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: votes in the House, and so Schiff and Pelosi and Nadler,

407
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: they run that thing with an iron fist. They make

408
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: no apologies. They stack it against Trump as much as

409
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: they possibly can. There's no effort even for the optics

410
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: of it. There's no effort at fairness. There's no effort

411
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 1: at giving a fair shake to both sides because they

412
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: have the power, and that's the way they conduct themselves.

413
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: And in the moment they don't have the power. You

414
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: look at what happens in the Senate where Republicans have

415
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 1: a majority, and all they do is complaining why and

416
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: say it's unfair and the process is wrong, and it's rigged,

417
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: and it's a sham and it's a cover up, and

418
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: how can you how can you have a serious how

419
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: can you have a serious conversation with these peoples, which

420
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: you really have to ask at some point one is

421
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: it just too much to bear? When is it to

422
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: observe speaking of absurd Schiff hasn't totally given up yet.

423
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he realizes he's planning to a very a

424
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: looney left constituency in California. I think he's from Burbank, California, right,

425
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: So Schiff is just trying to make his district voters happy,

426
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: which is not hard. Just hate Trump with the blind

427
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: fury of you know, of all time, and also play

428
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: to the national media. Make all the journos think that

429
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: you're a really excellent hashtag resistance leader. That's what he's

430
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: trying to do. But I'll even go off and say

431
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: things that you if you were a normal person, you

432
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: would ask yourself, how could anyone say something so stupid

433
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: and not feel ashamed of it afterwards? We will have

434
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: more of that coming up, by the way, But Democrats

435
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: have been really outdoing themselves recently, and we do have

436
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: a new contestant for you know, I've said before the

437
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: Masie Herono is the dumbest person in Congress, and I

438
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 1: think that's I think that's an assessment that is just

439
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: rooted in fact. There are some people that who that

440
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: could You could argue with me, and I'd be open

441
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: to it. But I think me, she's certainly the dumbest senator,

442
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: or maybe not Congress. I shouldn't like, are the dumbest senator.

443
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: Congress has got a lot of dummies. The dumbest person

444
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: on TV, though, who's a political analyst? And I'm not

445
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: including like reality TV stars. The dumbest person on TV

446
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: is a political analyst. You know, I would generally say,

447
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: uh Anna Navarro from CNN, But Steve Schmidt at MSNBC,

448
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: I think he might be number one. He's he's really

449
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: exceptionally dumb these days. And I guess it's it's what

450
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: the audience will clap for. It's what they want to

451
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: hear at MSNBC. Um, but you know, you can get

452
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,239
Speaker 1: into this game of who's crazier the Democrats who are

453
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: actually elected in office or the Democrats who are speaking

454
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: to represent the whims of the Democratic Party outside, you know,

455
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: the political analysts and the consultant class, the pundits, all

456
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: the rest of it. I mean, here, you, let's let's

457
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: play a little game which one of these things is crazier.

458
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: We have On the one hand, uh, where was it

459
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff telling us that there's the possibility of selling

460
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: Alaska play clip five. Please Trump could offer Alaska to

461
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: the Russians in exchange for support in the next election.

462
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: I mean, how how is he? Is he really dumb?

463
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I just think he's just so

464
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: slimy and dishonest and just will say anything. You know,

465
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: he really represents the worst of the legal profession, in

466
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: which there's no ethics. There's just only whatever whatever tactics

467
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: you have to use in the moment to get what

468
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: you want. You know, there's no honor in the in

469
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: what he does at all. Or I don't know if

470
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: he thinks that we're all so dumb, but Trump could

471
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: offer Alaska to the Russians for help the next election.

472
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: It's so offensive that he would say something like this,

473
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: because what he's really saying is that Trump voters and

474
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: his unfortunately his supporters are delusional enough, and Democrats are

475
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: delusional enough these days that they would nod their heads

476
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: and they'd clap like trained seals for this kind of commentary.

477
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: But the reality here is that Republicans Trump supporters would

478
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: not be okay with that. Of course not. Now he's

479
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: just speaking in absurdity. There's a million miles of difference.

480
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: You could say, probably, you know whatever it is. However

481
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: many square miles we're talking about with a Laska, very

482
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: big place, But there's a million miles of difference between

483
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: asking a foreign leader if he has information about a

484
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: completely legitimate area of inquiry that happens to look bad

485
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: for Democrats involving corruption in a foreign country, the Ukraine situation,

486
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: and we're going to give one of the fifty states

487
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: to a hostile foreign country to help someone elect. I mean,

488
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: this is just crazy. How can he say this publicly

489
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: without people on both sides of the political aisle completely

490
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: and utterly ridiculing him. But no, he gets away with this.

491
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: He manages to say this and have Democrats act like

492
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: somehow this is normal that you and I sitting here

493
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: right now would be okay with the president selling a

494
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: state to a foreign country, which, first of all, how

495
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: would that even work? I mean, it's just this is

496
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: like Adam Shift saying, well, what's gonna happen when the

497
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: when the aliens space aliens not illegal ones? What's going

498
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: to happen when the space aliens land? And they've actually

499
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: been running Trump as a Manchurian candidate and Trump's actually

500
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: a member of like the you know, the lizard people

501
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: from the planet Zarcon or something. I mean, you know,

502
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: it's just just blather nonsense. Adam Schiff, What if he said,

503
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: what if he tried to sell Alaska to the Russians? Yeah,

504
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: you're moron. We would have a problem with that. I'd

505
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: have a problem with a lot of things. Yeah, what

506
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: if if if President Trump tomorrow declared himself president for life?

507
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: Guess what? Trump supporters would actually not be okay with.

508
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: I know some of your laughing saying, actually buck, but no,

509
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: really if that happened, wouldn't be okay with that. Wouldn't

510
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: be okay with Trump saying there's not going to be

511
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: an election and you know, I'm gonna make one of

512
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: my kids the next president. I don't know. Of course,

513
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't be okay with this at all. And then you

514
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: would have the process, by the way, and it would

515
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: be quick. It'd be speedy. If normal people, not Trump

516
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: to arrange, people really recognized egregious conduct from the president. Yeah,

517
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: they'd remove the President United States. You know, Mitch McConnell

518
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: and Ted Cruz and all these guys, and the Republicans

519
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: in the Senate, they wouldn't be sitting. They're like, yeah,

520
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: he said he's president for life, we're not going to know.

521
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: You'd have the two thirds vote. This would sail through,

522
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: be at office in a day if he took real

523
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: steps to make himself president for life, whatever that would mean.

524
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: But see, they forced us to defend the insane as

525
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: a way of keeping us from looking at really how

526
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: weak and crazy their narrative is. Right, I mean, we

527
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: end up talking about nonsense because they're making nonsense accusations

528
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: instead of looking at some other real problems they've got,

529
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: Like the Joe Biden thing is corrupt. They can keep

530
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: telling us that there's nothing, there's no crime. It's the

531
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: most corrupt country, one of the most countries in the world.

532
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: And we're supposed to trust the word of prosecutors and

533
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: the Obama administration working with Ukrainian prosecutors that the Biden

534
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: family wasn't engaged in any illicit quid pro quote. I

535
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: don't think so. But no, Instead we have to pretend

536
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: that we're worried that Trump is going to sell Alaska.

537
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: Alaska is very beautiful place. I would I would not

538
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: let Trump sell Alaska. No, I want to keep it.

539
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, you're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the

540
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Okay, so we had the crazy

541
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: thing that Shift said about selling Alaska to the Rahans,

542
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: which was insane, But is that dumber? Is that crazy er? Then?

543
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: Steve Schmidt, formerly the guy who ran John McCain's highly

544
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: unsuccessful two thousand and eight presidential campaign, Like, I mean,

545
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's a credential kind of like you

546
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: know Neville Chamberlain as great peace negotiator in our time.

547
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a credential, that's for sure. But you

548
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: know it's gotta stay on the TV. Like, Hey, Steve Schmidt,

549
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna lecture you on history and stuff. Would

550
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: you play clip for polease producer Mark. Do we want

551
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: to have at the head of our country a president

552
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: or do we want to have a king? Do we

553
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: want to have an emperor? Do we want to have

554
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: somebody who sits above the law? Do we want to

555
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: have somebody who is unaccountable to the institutions that from

556
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of the country have said that no institution,

557
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: no person in the country is above the law. That's

558
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: what we fought a revolution for. And so there's a

559
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: fundamental question that now sits on the table eleven months

560
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: before an election, but mag no mistake at the at

561
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: the at the aftermath of this, when he is acquitted,

562
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: there will never ever have been an American president with

563
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: the power that Donald Trump possesses right now in this moment.

564
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Not FDR in the Second World War, not Lincoln in

565
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: the Civil War. No president is as powerful as Donald

566
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: John Trump in this hour as we get ready to

567
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: see his acquittal playout. That's in the pantheon, in the

568
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame of stupid political commentary. That SoundBite deserves

569
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: a special place. No one Nolan's ever got as much

570
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: power as Donald Trump ever in the history of the country.

571
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: There's never been an American president with the power. Okay,

572
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: and he actually went so far as to mention FDR

573
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: and mentioned Lincoln. FDR sent Japanese Americans, including a very

574
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: high percentage of whom were full US citizens, two internment camps.

575
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: Not not a peep peep from the Congress about a

576
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: peachmid nothing democrat FDR. Of course, Wouodrow Wilson resegregated the

577
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: civil Service and had a showing of a deeply racist

578
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: film Birth of a Nation in the White House, and

579
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: is a very bad guy, not a peep about removing Woodrow, Wilson,

580
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: and Lincoln, as much as we revere him for holding

581
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: the Union together, did suspend habeas corpus. He was basically

582
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: just like, I'm calling the shots and the Constitution doesn't

583
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: get to tell me not to. That's what happened, suspended

584
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: habeas corpus. The president actually does not have the authority

585
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: to do that. Lincoln did it. Nobody well, I mean,

586
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: I was gonna say nobody in the Congress removed him

587
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: from office. We all know what happened the theater that night.

588
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: But this is what people, I guess who watch MSNBC

589
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: want to hear. That no one's ever been more powerful

590
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: than Trump, no one's ever been under siege more than

591
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: Trump as president, at least from the media and from

592
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: the opposition party in this way. I mean, it's absurd

593
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: the things that they're trying to remove him from office

594
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: for doing or even just talking about or thinking. This

595
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: doesn't upset normal people the way that it upsets Trump

596
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: deranged loons. And yet they tell us that he's acquired

597
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: so much power that he's effectively a king. He's an emperor,

598
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: a king, or an emperor wouldn't sit through all this process.

599
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: A king or an emperor wouldn't allow. Look, if the

600
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: vote happens tomorrow, and if for some reason Republican senators said,

601
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, we're just gonna we're just gonna deal with

602
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: the hatred of our constituents, but to save the republic

603
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: two thirds. You know, there'll be a two thirds vote

604
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: if they removed him. They're removed, Hm, folks, that yet

605
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: he's not president anymore. I mean, I couldn't come in

606
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: here in good conscience and good faith and say to you, well,

607
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: you know, I don't like that vote, so we're just

608
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: gonna pretend like he's still president. No, we're literally twenty

609
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: four hours away from a decision about whether to remove

610
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: the president from the United States for effectively doing nothing wrong,

611
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: and they're acting like there's no check on his power whatsoever.

612
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: This is what crazy people think. Thanks for listening to

613
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast,

Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. This

615
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: really is one of the most important elections of our lifetime.

616
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: We have somebody in the right house who should not

617
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: be there, and I am running to defeat Donald Trump,

618
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: but also to put the United back in the United States.

619
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: We are not together, and we have to be. And

620
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: that's the other job that you just have to focus on.

621
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: That means providing health insurance for people. It means a

622
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: wresting student loans, it means affordable housing, public health. There's

623
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things, climate change, which my foundation

624
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: has been working on for a long time. Very little.

625
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: I just think of little. You know. Now, he wants

626
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: a box for the debates to stand on. Okay, it's okay,

627
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing, well you could be sure. Why should he

628
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: get a box to stand on? Okay, he wants a

629
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: box for the debates? Why should he be in ton

630
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: with that? You really? Then? Does that mean everyone else

631
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: gets a box? I guess that the Wall left. It's

632
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: very interesting Corey book, and all these people couldn't get

633
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: any of the things that Bloomberg's getting. Now. I think

634
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: it's very unfair for the Democrats. But I would love

635
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:46,760
Speaker 1: to run against Bloomberg. Who's right, Who's who's telling the truth?

636
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: Who's got the the real that was he used to say,

637
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: who's got the four one woman? Which would be for

638
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: the you know, the getting information the phone, and I

639
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't work anymore. I'm kind of aging myself

640
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: with that one. Who's got to four one one means nothing? Right?

641
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: Or does it still work? Three one one in New

642
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: York City gets you city information? Trump? Bloomberg? Is that

643
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: where this is all heading? I don't think so. But

644
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: I don't think you can count Bloomberg out entirely in

645
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: this whole thing, just because when you have that much

646
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: money to spend in that many markets and such a

647
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: weak Democrat field, And let's be honest, how many of

648
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: you listening right now, if I, if I may, if

649
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: I said Trump is not running, Trump for you know,

650
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: for personal reasons, says he's not running again, and then

651
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: there's no Republican candidate who comes forward. I'm gonna just

652
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: this is a thought experiment. If you've got to pick

653
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: between Bloomberg and all these other Democrats that are running,

654
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: how many of you would say, at least the guy

655
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: knows how to build a business. Maybe I could see

656
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: some people making the case they'd rather have maybe klobaschar

657
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: who at least understands you're not going to knock one

658
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty million people off their health insurance and

659
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: that Bernie Sanders saying he's gonna do that. It's just

660
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. But Mike's point here, mini Mike is

661
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: that or a little Mike because a little Mike or

662
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: mini Mike, it's it's I think he calls him both.

663
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: Maybe either one gets to the vertically challenged nature of

664
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: mister Bloomberg, which he's not even by the way, he's

665
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: not even producer Mark. I think he's like five to seven,

666
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: right or five eight, which is normal height from what

667
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: I gather, meaning average height, I should say, not normal height,

668
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: but it's average height. To tell me if I'm correct

669
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: on that one, that's not even if he were like

670
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: five to one, that's that's normal height. I mean I

671
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: keep saying normal, I mean average average height. Well, how

672
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: tall is Trump? He's like six three, so everyone's a

673
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: little short to him. Yeah, he's he's got the Trump's

674
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: got the Jesse Kelly syndrome where Jesse Kelly just walks

675
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: around that tall physically looking down on everybody all the time.

676
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: Jesse is like it's like his eyes are on the

677
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: top of Mount Olympus or something like he just gazes

678
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: down from the sky because he's like eight feet tall.

679
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: He's absolutely enormous. So yeah, Trump is like six three

680
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: or six two. Maybe he's a big dude. I remember

681
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: when I was with him in the Oval office when

682
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: I was working for the Hill and DC. He's a

683
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: He's a large fellow, that's for sure, but not quite

684
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: Sebastian Gorka big though. I don't know if you know this.

685
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: Gorka is like the Mountain from Game of Thrones, which

686
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: he kind of sounds like it a little bit too.

687
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: He's got like a very deep voice. But Sebastian Gorka,

688
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 1: doctor G who I'm very fond of, is is enormous.

689
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's got palms the size of grizzly bears.

690
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, enormous. To all conservatives are enormous, I guess,

691
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean our team. If we had like

692
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: an Avengers style, you know, throw down at the very

693
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: end of the movie where it's like all the good

694
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 1: guys against all the bad guys, Conservatives mail conservative pundits

695
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: would would definitely thrash the lib conservative mail king the

696
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: Avengers moment. Oh come on, everyone knows Avengers though, so

697
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: I just go for it. Let's go for it. I'd

698
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: be kind of fun. Actually, you know, they did a

699
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: one of the one of the I believe it was

700
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: the comfortably Smug Twitter account did a contest a kind

701
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: of March Madness bracket of biggest liberal hack in media

702
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: and the winner of the whole thing, And I have

703
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: to say it was based on public vote, and the

704
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: winner of the whole thing was Brian Stelter Bad Stouter

705
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: at CNED, just as the bid e of Zucker. The

706
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: CNN executives by say he's a real jealist as the

707
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: speak of the truth. So little Stelter also known as

708
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: mini me Zucker because he looks like Zucker twenty years ago.

709
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: He was the winner of the whole thing, but Jen

710
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Rubin of The Washington Post was close. I do think

711
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: she's the only person in media who one day might

712
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: just come out and be like, ha ha, messing with

713
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: you guys, because there's no way that she's that there's

714
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: no way that she's that absurd and doesn't realize how

715
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: absurd she is. It's not possible. One of the best

716
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: things in terms of amusement that I've read in a

717
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: long time was Charles cook Over at National Review Online.

718
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: Just took a series of remember Jennifer Rubin's a Washington

719
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: Post columnists, so featured the Washington Post, very storied platform,

720
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: to be sure, and he just took Charles just took

721
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: Jennifer's previous statements, things that she had written, and then

722
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: showed what she was writing about them two years later,

723
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: maybe diametrically opposed without missing a beat. You know what's

724
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: going on and with Israel and Palestine is terrible. What's

725
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: going to Israel and Palestine is awesome? I mean, just

726
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 1: whatever on any issue, just you know, climate change, climate

727
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: change is a hoax. Oh, climate change is gonna kill

728
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: us all. Just turning on a dime based on whatever's

729
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: most valuable in the moment tour. So anyway, I found

730
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: that that contest pretty funny. There are some others that

731
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: I would have I would have wanted to see make

732
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: it further into the liberal hack media tournament. But Brian Stelter.

733
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: Gotta give a little little golf clap for Brian. He

734
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: came out on as the winner and that whole thing.

735
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: But back to you, Bloomberg and Trump. There's a an

736
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: overriding talking point that you get from Democrats right now,

737
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: that Trump must be removed from office, and we're all

738
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: supposed to just go along with this, right, We're supposed

739
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: to believe that because so many people who have a

740
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: prominent platform or are running for office themselves, whatever it

741
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: may be, so many loud voices on the left and

742
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: some on the theoretically on the right, say that Trump

743
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: needs to be removed from office. And so that then

744
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: brings me to well, you know, Bloomberg for example, saying

745
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: that that he has he should not be there. Why.

746
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: We never really get to the why do we? And

747
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: when you push them on the why, it always turns

748
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: into a series of you know, kind of whiny you know,

749
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, just rubbing one's hands together as they come

750
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: up with some oh it's the tweets, or I don't

751
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: like what he said three years ago about this thing

752
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: or that thing. Normal people, And when I say normal people,

753
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: I just mean Americans who have not yet been brainwash,

754
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 1: have not yet been forced or brought into a state

755
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: of Trump derangement syndrome where everything Trump does is bad.

756
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 1: Trump is literally worse than Hitler and Stalin combined, the

757
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: worst person in all history, so so terrible they make,

758
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: they make this constant pitch to the American people. And

759
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: yet Gallup today has Trump at a forty nine percent approval,

760
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: which is better than Obama in his first term. So well,

761
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: what exactly are they are? What exactly are they telling

762
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: us when they're saying that Trump is the worst president

763
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: in history, a danger to the republic, must be stopped,

764
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: cannot be allowed to stay in office. I remember what

765
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: the arguments were in favor of Mitt Romney over Barack Obama.

766
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: And it wasn't that people were saying that Obama is

767
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: going to actually bring us to nuclear war, destroy the

768
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: whole country, nothing will be left. He's a king, He's

769
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: an emperor. Democracy is finished. People are you know, being

770
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: put in cages. And I mean, it wasn't all this

771
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: stuff that you hear. It was I think mid Romney

772
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: would be. And now I choke on these words as

773
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: I say them, but I remember what I was saying. Then,

774
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: I remember what all the conservatives. I'm not letting any

775
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: of them skate on this one. Pretty much every conservative

776
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: I know was some people were really big Rick Santorum fans.

777
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: I was never a Rick Santorum guy. I just wasn't

778
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: my thing. I had a few friends of the Blaze

779
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: really got to Rick Santorum, you think this guy should

780
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: be president? Okay, but I remember that the pitch for

781
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: Romney over Obama was Romney would be a more effective

782
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: chief executive of the United States government, run the economy better,

783
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: understands how to create growth and prosperity better. But it

784
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: was very much a you know, he's any sure there

785
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: are other arguments in Romney's pro life or he was

786
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: when he ran for president, not when he was the

787
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: governor of Massachusetts. Perhaps that was a tip off about something, friends,

788
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: But you know, there were arguments on policy for why

789
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: Obama shouldn't win election in twenty twelve. They were real.

790
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, healthcare was obviously a huge one. Obamacare, which

791
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: was supposed to fix our healthcare. Does anyone feel like

792
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: it fixed the healthcare system? It expanded the welfare roles

793
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: on Medicaid, and some people in the individual markets got

794
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of subsidy from the government did a

795
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,959
Speaker 1: little bit better off. Other people individual markets did worse

796
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: off because guess what, they're subsidizing the people that are

797
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: better off. That's all it was. That was all that fight,

798
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: ultimately in terms of the implementation of that healthcare plan

799
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 1: came down to that. But that was a real argument

800
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,959
Speaker 1: on policy difference. Well, we're offered for why Trump. It's

801
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: not just please vote Democrat instead of Trump, it's you

802
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: must vote Democrat because Trump is, to borrow from Pelosi

803
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: and others, a clear and present danger to the United States,

804
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: a danger they say. And I always turround and I say,

805
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:01,240
Speaker 1: based on what keep in mind that they're where arguments

806
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: that could have and should have been made about why

807
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 1: Obama should not have been reelected that we're not really

808
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: made because the media was more in the tank for

809
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: Obama than they were even for Hillary. I mean, they're

810
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: more in the tank in twenty sixteen versus twenty twelve.

811
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: You know, Obama was absolutely sacred to the Democrat media apparatus.

812
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: If you were a journalist and you were not pro Obama,

813
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, ninety five percent of your peers were against you.

814
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 1: So there were things like, for example, the escalation of

815
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: the war in Afghanistan, and which was a very underreported

816
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: thing because there were a lot of casualties, a lot

817
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: of people died, a lot of people lost their lives

818
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: in this country fighting in Afghanistan because Commander then Commander

819
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: in chief Obama had this very very basic formulation of

820
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: Iraq as the bad war. Afghanistan is the good war.

821
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,479
Speaker 1: I don't want to look weak. Let's send one hundred

822
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: thousand plus troops to Afghanistan and let them go clear

823
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: out Kandahar and Helmond and see how that goes for them.

824
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: Let's send the Marines down into the most intense ground

825
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: combat of that period of the Afghan War and then

826
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: just figure out everything later on. I guess that's what

827
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: they did, and there there were hundreds of huge spike

828
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: and casualties in Afghanistan. Where was the anti war movement

829
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: when Obama's Oh they weren't. It didn't really exist. You know,

830
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: once or twice a year you'd have some shrieks from

831
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: some of the Code Pink ladies or something, but that

832
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: was it. The anti war movement effectively disappeared when Obama's

833
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: in office because it was so important to the left

834
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: to make sure Obama got two terms. Eight years wasn't

835
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: enough for four. I had to have eight years. We

836
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: were at this point now where the separation in perception

837
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 1: between those who hate Trump and those who are willing

838
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: to either support Trump or are die hard Trump supporters

839
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: is so vast that it is really hard to have

840
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: a conversation. I mean, Trump's approved rating is so high

841
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: with good reason. Any Trump supporter could look any Trump

842
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: detractor in the eyes and say, what am I supposed

843
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: to hate so much about what's happening in the country

844
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: from the perspective of the United States government and what

845
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: the government is doing. That I have rising wages, that

846
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: I have more money in my pocket because of a

847
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: tax cut, that unemployment to super low, that labor is

848
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: better off now than it was three years ago. That

849
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you get on the list. That we're not

850
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: fighting and or escalating a major war anywhere. What is it?

851
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: We're not getting hit with mass casualty terror attacks on

852
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: a regular basis inspired by a metastasizing cancer in Syria

853
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: known as the Islamic State. Because the Islamic State was

854
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: crushed crushed by whom, Oh, yeah, that's right Trump. The

855
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: Iranians have gotten a little quieter. Why oh, because Solomony

856
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: got taken out after years and years of people in

857
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: both parties saying, ooh, can't do that. Now, even some

858
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: European leaders have looked at this and said, well, I mean,

859
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: it has changed the calculation for the Iranians quite a bit,

860
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: hasn't it. I'm not going to just get away with

861
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: doing whatever they want, and oh, we don't want we

862
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: don't want to antagonize the Molas. We don't want to

863
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: escalate there. That gave the Molas a freehand, not anymore.

864
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: Trump comes along and says, okay, in the administration now

865
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,919
Speaker 1: with the peace plan with Israel and the Palestinians, says,

866
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: we're just dealing in reality. Israel's not going anywhere, Israel

867
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: is secure, Israel's doing well. Palestinians, you want things to

868
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: get better. Start acting like people in other parts of

869
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: the world when they want things to get better. No

870
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: more hamas, no more terrors, and none of this stuff

871
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 1: where you can keep doing that and not gonna get

872
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: what you want. What is the thing that I'm supposed

873
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: to see in the Trump administration and hate so much?

874
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: And this is why I find that never trumpers, who,

875
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: by the way, in the Iowa Caugus is Joe Walsh,

876
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: who's just really just embarrassing. He got one point four

877
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: percent I think of the vote, and Bill Weld got

878
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 1: like point seven percent or something like that. Good job, guys,

879
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: really glad you're speaking truth the power on this. But

880
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: the whole point is that we talk about them. The

881
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: whole point is that just because they register on the

882
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: scoreboard anywhere, even if they registered at zero percent, we

883
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: got to say, up, there's these other guys registering at

884
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: zero percent. Trump had ninety seven percent of the votes

885
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: in Iowa, ninety seven percent of the supporters in the

886
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: Republican Iowa caucuses. And guess what that's about. What he

887
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: has within the Republican Party. Democrats can keep telling us

888
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: that the country is in terrible shape, that things are

889
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: so bad. But he's going to go out there tonight

890
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: in a State of the Union address, armed with facts, figures,

891
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: armed with a reality, not a clever narrative creation machinery.

892
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,240
Speaker 1: Not oh if only you look at it this way

893
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: or from this side. You know. Obama's whole thing was

894
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: because when he came into office, the economy is going

895
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: through recession. He always just pointed to the worst possible

896
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: years of that recession and then pointed to, you know,

897
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: the best I'm sorry, the worst months of that recession,

898
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: then pointed the best months of when he was in

899
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 1: office that see, I saved the economy. No, I mean

900
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: the economy just didn't completely collapse with Obama in office,

901
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: but it was the weakest recovery in the second since

902
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:11,360
Speaker 1: the Second World War. And people forget this. It was

903
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: Bush who stabilized the banks. It was Bush who did tarp,

904
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: it was not Obama. Obama did the stimulus, which was

905
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: basically just throw a whole lot of cash. Dak's bear

906
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: cash at uh. You know, all kinds of social welfare programs,

907
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: extension of unemployment insurance UH and and some other just

908
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,399
Speaker 1: grab bag things for left wing interest all over the place. Right.

909
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 1: But that's that was when an appammy Obama did saved

910
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: the economy. Economy was in, it was in a weak

911
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: recovery when he was going for reelection. Trump goes out

912
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: there tonight and he should be doing a victory dance.

913
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a shame that he hasn't already been

914
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: acquitted that well. I don't know why they delayed this.

915
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 1: By the way, they should have had the EQUATA vote

916
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: on Friday so Trump could go out there. You know,

917
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, cocaine, Mitch, where are you out on this?

918
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: Because Trump should be He should He has earned the

919
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 1: right in the state of Union restaurant to spike the football.

920
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: Spike the football on behalf of the American people for

921
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: whom things are good, things are going well. These are not.

922
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: These are not dark and scary and ominous days for

923
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,399
Speaker 1: the country. These are prosperous and happy and peaceful days

924
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 1: for the country. Whether Democrats accept that or not doesn't

925
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: change what is true. And this is part of the

926
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: desperation they have. Trump is at a higher approval rating

927
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: at this point at his presidency than Obama was, and

928
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: Democrats recognize that if if he is judged on the

929
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 1: merits of his presidency, guess what he's going to win reelection.

930
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton

931
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 1: Show podcast. It is amazing. Just as I talk to

932
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: your team about stats and figures and numbers, this story

933
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: today that there are five tech companies that make up

934
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:02,240
Speaker 1: eighteen percent of the stock market is that's a stunning figure.

935
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: But it's also a way to keep in mind, it's

936
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: a way to understand the shift in power that has occurred.

937
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: And part of the the media desperation you're seeing now,

938
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: it's because they're all a bunch of Democrats. They don't

939
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 1: understand that how other people see the world. They don't

940
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: even pretend to try. But beyond that, the power, the

941
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: cultural and economic and narrative projection power that the mainstream

942
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: news outlets had is lessening all the time, and it's

943
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: being replaced with Google, Facebook, you know, even you know, Amazon,

944
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: Amazon obviously owns the Watchington Post, Jeff Bezos does. But

945
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 1: we've got to look more into this because we are

946
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: we are heading more and more into what feels like

947
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: a tech oligarchy, oligawky. As Bernie says, thanks for listening

951
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: bettered myself, so I really respect that because, like no

952
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: other president has really been actually sticking the neck out

953
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: for us, and I really appreciate what he's been doing

954
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: for the VA and um he's trying to keep us

955
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: out of wars. You know a lot of the things

956
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna do, Like I thought it

957
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: was gonna get us in the war with North Korea

958
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. Let's didn't get us in the war

959
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: with Iran. That absolutely didn't happen. And he's a real

960
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: strategic genius. And I really mussed the dude. He's dope,

961
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: I love it. Are you going to vote for the

962
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: president of twenty twenty? I appears so question. That's that's

963
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: that's not even that's no question. That's why I'm here.

964
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely gonna vote for him. Not Spanish, and I'm

965
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna vote for him. And again, yes, he's gonna be

966
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: out of president twenty So that the gentleman that started

967
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: that soundclip is an African American and veteran, and he's

968
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: just saying why, based on results, based on the merits,

969
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: he's going to vote for Trump. And then you had

970
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: a woman, it was Latina, who also says that she's

971
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: going to vote for Trump. Again. Now, I have no

972
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: illusions here. Trump is not gonna get, you know, thirty

973
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: or forty percent of the African American vote. He's not

974
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 1: going to get thirty or forty percent of the Latino vote,

975
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: although he probably will get twenty percent. I mean, you'll

976
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: do a little better, I think than previous Republican presidents

977
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: have done. But if he could even get fifteen percent

978
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: maybe of the African American vote, it's it's all. It

979
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: would be all over for Democrats if that were to happen.

980
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 1: And one part of the Trump presidency that I think

981
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 1: is so troubling for Democrats is that because it's a

982
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: because there's such a a clear advocacy based on the

983
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: results of the presidency, things done for people, more money

984
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: in your pocket, more jobs in your neighborhood, less regulation,

985
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: choking your business off, doing all the things that conservatives

986
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: have been saying along this this will make things better,

987
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: this will make things better. You know, you have this

988
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: competing vision of governance playing out in the country. You

989
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: have the Trump view of pushing the interests of this country,

990
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: trying to do everything possible to promote greater wealth for

991
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,400
Speaker 1: the American people, greater freedom for the American people, less

992
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,319
Speaker 1: government messing up your life, doing things that shouldn't do.

993
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: And so that's at the federal level, but that plays

994
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,040
Speaker 1: out in different ways in each of the states as well.

995
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: And then at the state level, you have California, you

996
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: have New York or we're currently doing this show from

997
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: and you see what happens when Democrats get their way,

998
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: unobstructed by any Republicans to temper their leftist passions to

999
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: slow down things from the state from the status perspective.

1000
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: So this is something that I think people are also

1001
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 1: seeing now an understanding that this is the greatest danger

1002
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: that Trump really poses is not just to the left

1003
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 1: and to the establishment in politics and media and just

1004
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: to to really to the ruling class in this country,

1005
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 1: which you could define in many ways, but people who

1006
00:56:55,120 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: have been ensconced in wealth and power, who often are

1007
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 1: there for either combination of luck, right place, right time

1008
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: because of the perception of their excellence that's a result

1009
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 1: of going to certain institutions or working at certain institutions.

1010
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: That it's just all a perception game. It's all well,

1011
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: these people should be making all the decisions, they should

1012
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: be the ones that are in charge. We should listen

1013
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 1: to the so called experts on this because they know

1014
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 1: more than us and therefore the outcomes will be better.

1015
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 1: Trump comes along and says, who are these experts? Have

1016
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: they been right before? Are they good at this? This

1017
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: is why I was at the LAP. I mean, foreign

1018
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: policy has been has been one of the most fantastic

1019
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: examples of this, because you have this whole foreign policy

1020
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: intelligentsia that has all of these maxims, all of these

1021
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: ideas that if you challenge them, you just don't know

1022
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. And then Trump comes along goes, now,

1023
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna do something differently. We're going to take a

1024
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: different approach to China, to North Korea, to Iran, to

1025
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: the Middle Eastern general, to the Israeli Palestinian issue. To Russia.

1026
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh I know, Oh, he does all of Russia's bidding, right.

1027
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: He does Russia's bidding by sending lethal aid to the

1028
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: Ukrainians that Obama wouldn't send, and by blowing up two

1029
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: hundred Russian paramilitary paramilitary fighters in the Syrian desert because

1030
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: they were threatening our Kurdish allies. Think of how quickly

1031
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: they cycle through narratives about how the Trump is the

1032
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 1: worst ever. We were going to have genocide in Syria

1033
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: of the Kurds because of Trump. That didn't happen. As

1034
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: I was telling of the time, people need to come down.

1035
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen. We were gonna have World

1036
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: War three because of taking out Salamani in the Iranian

1037
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: response didn't happen. In fact, not only did the Iranian

1038
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: response show that they're a little scared to Trump, but

1039
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: the Iranian response showed that there are a bunch of

1040
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: that the Molas and their regime is grotesquely incompetent. They

1041
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: blew a civilian jet members a civilian jet flying out

1042
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: of their main airport of their capital city. They blew

1043
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: it out of the sky with missiles. And this wasn't

1044
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: like an international airspace. And there are some situations where

1045
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: you can understand there's there's even you know, the margin

1046
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: for air would be a little bit wider because you

1047
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: can see how a mistake could be made flying out

1048
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: of your capital city, taking off, blowing out of the

1049
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: sky right away. That's the big bad Iran that we're

1050
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 1: so scared to defy and scared to upset, or at

1051
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: least that both parties. For a long time now, I

1052
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: haven't wanted to challenge the mullas when Trump comes along

1053
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: and says, why are you so smart? Why are you

1054
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: supposed to be so good at this? By the way,

1055
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't reject expertise. I love expertise. I think expertise

1056
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: is fantastic. One of the reasons why I generally only

1057
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: have a small number of guests on this show is

1058
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: because I only want to bring people on who are

1059
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: either really insightful or really entertaining or both. Not just

1060
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: people that can do what I do, which is tell

1061
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: you what's going on in the world, and not do

1062
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: it as well as I do. That's fine. I mean

1063
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't need that, right, I'd rather I don't want

1064
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: to pretend somebody has a special knowledge that they don't have.

1065
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: But when someone does, I mean I bring on you know,

1066
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: my friend Annie McCarthy, for example, because he knows so

1067
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: much about federal law and the criminal justice system of prosecution.

1068
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, it knows more than me on that in

1069
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: that area. You know, I talked to producer Mark about

1070
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: the Rangers and hockey and sports and what it is

1071
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: to be a real American because you know, he has

1072
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: special knowledge in those areas that I don't have as

1073
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: somebody from Manhattan, which is basically a foreign country. So

1074
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, you look at these areas of expertise and governance,

1075
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: and we've been led to believe that there are all

1076
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: these people that are making these decisions that are really

1077
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: really wise. You know, you get into the discussions about

1078
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: who's smart, who's not, who's clever, who's not wise? Is

1079
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: about having intelligence, but also the application of intelligence in

1080
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: situations that bring about good outcomes. That's wisdom, right. Wisdom

1081
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: is knowing what to do in situations when you should

1082
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: and should not act. And we have a democratic party

1083
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: that never learns from the mistakes of the past, always

1084
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: wants to repeat them because they are deeply believe This

1085
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: brings us back to our conversation from yesterday. They believe

1086
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: that a government apparatus that gives you fewer and fewer choices,

1087
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: that makes more decisions for you, is inherently going to

1088
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: be better, and in fact, that's a more comfortable and

1089
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: I would even say more moral state in their mind,

1090
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: a state in which you are told what you can eat,

1091
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: what you can wear, where you can go, what you

1092
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: can say, how much of your property is really yours,

1093
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 1: how much of it you have to give to the state.

1094
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: You have no real say in the matter. You just

1095
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: go down the list of all of the freedoms. You know,

1096
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: what firearms you're allowed to have. You know, you got

1097
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: on the list of all the different freedoms that you

1098
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: would expect as an individual, that you would want as

1099
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: an individual. And the Democrats, each on each thing want

1100
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: more government intrusion in your life because they know more

1101
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: this is this is at the heart of central planning.

1102
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, this is at the heart of Bernie Sanders

1103
01:01:54,800 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: socialism and Joe Biden's kind of lowest denominator Democrat pablum.

1104
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the you know, the advantage that

1105
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Biden gives the Democrats is the belief that he somehow

1106
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: is more moderate and more reasonable and more realistic. But

1107
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: they he's trying to take you in the same direction.

1108
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party off today wants to take you in

1109
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: the same direction that Bernie Sanders does. Sanders is just

1110
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: more authentic and honest about it. You know, the Democrats,

1111
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: the Democrat apparatus of Pelosi and Schumer and Chief and Biden,

1112
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: the people that are well, Biden's not really you know,

1113
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: he's a former vice president, but he's still considered very

1114
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: much of the establishment. Same thing with John Kerry and

1115
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:41,439
Speaker 1: these other figures. They want to believe, or they want

1116
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: you to believe, that they're just going to be better administrators,

1117
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: They're going to be wiser than the Republicans on these matters,

1118
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: and that might mean a little bit more, a little

1119
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: bit more tinkering around the edges, when in reality just

1120
01:02:53,760 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: means control. They want control and Trump is a continue

1121
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: challenge to all of that. How could he be better

1122
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: on foreign policy than his last three predecessors in office

1123
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: at a minimum? Right? How could he be better on

1124
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: that when he's not supposed to know anything. Oh, he

1125
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: can't find Ukraine on a map, they say, or he

1126
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 1: can't find a Ron on a map, or whatever it is.

1127
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: How could the economy be in the shape that it's

1128
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: in right down? The President's going into the State of

1129
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: the Union address tonight, And I really mean this. If

1130
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: you had told me on the day after Trump's twenty

1131
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: sixteen election victory, if you told me that right now,

1132
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: or if I had a time machine and could just

1133
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 1: wake up where we are today from where we were

1134
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: three years ago, I would say to you, or going

1135
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 1: on now four years I would say to you, there's

1136
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: no way this guy's came is not going to win

1137
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: re election, because what do you really want in a president.

1138
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: I've seen a return of some of these Democrats coming

1139
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:59,520
Speaker 1: out with the oh you you know, my eleven year

1140
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: old said, why is Trump saying those mean things on TV?

1141
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: You know they love to do this. I don't. I

1142
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: don't get it, and I hate it because it's so

1143
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: first of all usually false, meaning they're just making it up,

1144
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, Daddy, I just wanted to know, you know,

1145
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: why is it that Trump doesn't allow for a more

1146
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: centrally planned, fixed to our healthcare system that would have

1147
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: a better distribution of healthcare goods to a greater section

1148
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: of the populace without disparities among racial and socioeconomic status.

1149
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm sure your eight year old did not

1150
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: say that, lib I'm sure of it. I'd bet, I'd

1151
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: bet all the money I got, not a lot, But

1152
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure your eight year old didn't say that. But

1153
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: they'd like to tweet this anyway. Oh, my eight year

1154
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 1: old wants to know why Trump is such a mean man. Oh,

1155
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: it's always like, what what are they talking about? Why

1156
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 1: do they think that there's all this wisdom that comes

1157
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: from the mouth of mouths of children and about political issues?

1158
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: This is I mean. And Greta Thunberg just got nominated

1159
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 1: for a second Nobel Prize, by the way, the second

1160
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: year I should say that she got nominated for a

1161
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize. So all you have to do is

1162
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: be a mouthpiece, be somebody that that mouths the slogans

1163
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: goes around spewing what the internationalist left wants, and you

1164
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: two can be a Nobel Peace Prize nominee at least,

1165
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: if not, if not a winner. But if you told

1166
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: me that we'd be here when Trump first won the presidency,

1167
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: I would turn around you and I would say he's

1168
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: got to win, right, Because isn't this what politics is

1169
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: really about? Producing results? Isn't that what this is? We

1170
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: have these elections so that we can make the wisest

1171
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:49,080
Speaker 1: decisions we can about whom we entrust power to, and

1172
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: we do and we do all of this so that

1173
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: we can live in peace, live in prosperity, live in

1174
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, as much freedom as we can have our

1175
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: rights protected and you know, the rights and shrine of

1176
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the Institution, and even additional freedoms and liberties. I mean,

1177
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: that's isn't that what this is all about? For a

1178
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: lot of people, it's a bit sad, But it's about

1179
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: personal branding. It's about the way that's supporting one party

1180
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: or one candidate makes them feel about themselves. They don't

1181
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 1: look at the results, they don't look at what is

1182
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: happening with what the government actions that are being taken

1183
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: or not taken do in their lives. It's what are

1184
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: my buddies, you know, what are my colleagues, co workers,

1185
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, at the construction site or in

1186
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 1: the faculty lounge or wherever. Right, what do they think

1187
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 1: of my politics? And does it advantage me socially to

1188
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: hold a certain political position or support a certain candidate.

1189
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: And as long as we live in a country where

1190
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: the media and academia and now it's largely the legal

1191
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 1: professional law schools, I mean, they're all working together to

1192
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: create the perception that Democrats are the good, nice, smart people.

1193
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how many victories Republicans rack up when

1194
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 1: they're actually in power, Democrats have already been brainwash into thinking, no, good, nice,

1195
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: smart people who care about the poor and care about

1196
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 1: the downtrodden, they support Democrats. Yeah, based on what That's

1197
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: what I always want to ask. You're in the freedom mud.

1198
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. So, Tam, I

1199
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 1: saw the news right after the show yesterday. It just

1200
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: broke broke for me. I mean I just saw it

1201
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 1: coming across on Twitter. Actually, that the single greatest, most powerful,

1202
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: most influential, I would say, most important voice in conservatism

1203
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: of my lifetime. Perhaps people would say, perhaps he himself

1204
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: would say, well, no second to Reagan, but the most

1205
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: powerful conservative voice of my lifetime, Rush Limbaugh, has come

1206
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: down with a very a very troubling diagnosis of advanced

1207
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:11,760
Speaker 1: lung cancer. I will tell you this now, I've been honored,

1208
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: and I mean that it's a true honor. And I

1209
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: mean one of the the great phone calls that I

1210
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: have ever received was the first time Kit Carson, who

1211
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 1: also passed away just a few years ago, who was

1212
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Rush Limballs. It was Kit Carson and mister Snerdley Are

1213
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 1: were the two guys that many of you know from

1214
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: Russia's show and you know, behind the scenes making sure

1215
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 1: everything on that show was as powerful and successful and

1216
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 1: entertaining and wonderful as it was. I remember I got

1217
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: that call from Kit Carson, and it was the only

1218
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: time I've ever received a phone call from somebody that

1219
01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: I thought I was being put on, Like I thought

1220
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: it was a joke. I thought it was someone pretending

1221
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 1: to be kid, because why Kit Carson would call me

1222
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: to fill in for Rush Limball. The Rush Limball come on?

1223
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: And I ended up doing a number of I mean,

1224
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, probably a dozen times or so filling

1225
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: in for Rush over the course of a couple of years,

1226
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: maybe more than that, and clearly led to me getting

1227
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: my own syndicated show. Was probably the single biggest break

1228
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 1: of my entire professional career to date. And really there

1229
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: were two moments that were game changers. One was, to

1230
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,640
Speaker 1: his credit, Glennbeck finding me out of nowhere and just

1231
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: saying come work for me. I had never worked in media,

1232
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: so I always give Glenn credit for that. Also, Glenn,

1233
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: of course works for a premiere and iHeart media. And

1234
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: then Rush Limbaugh's phone call You're a few years after that,

1235
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,600
Speaker 1: and I just bring it up because the impact that

1236
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,639
Speaker 1: rushed at me. First of all, thoughts and prayers for Rush,

1237
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: and if anyone's going to beat this thing and come

1238
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: back even stronger, if that's possible, it's Russia Limbaugh. So

1239
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: I just I would only, I only would ever bet

1240
01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: on Rush to win, whatever that means, and in this case,

1241
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: I would still put my money on Rush to come

1242
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: through and be fine. But I also would just say

1243
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: that I've never met Rush, I never had the honor

1244
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: of actually meeting him in person. I did a show

1245
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: many times. I know his staff very well. I think

1246
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:15,559
Speaker 1: of them with tremendous fondness. They made me a better

1247
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 1: radio host. They made me better at what I do

1248
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: day in and day out here in media and talking

1249
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: to all of you. And Rush created this whole world

1250
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: that we now inhabit, that you who are listening to

1251
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: and watching this show inhabit, where we can have a

1252
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:33,719
Speaker 1: real conversation, where we can speak the truth about things.

1253
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:38,559
Speaker 1: Rush was the guy who was hacking that out of

1254
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the woods when there was no trail. He was the trailblazer.

1255
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: He was the guy. And there are thousands of us

1256
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: who owe our careers, in our livelihood and really our

1257
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: life's mission to Rush Limbaugh. And there are hundreds of

1258
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 1: millions of us over the years in this country who

1259
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 1: in one way or another have benefited from what Rush

1260
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:06,719
Speaker 1: has done already. So prayers up for Rush, the original,

1261
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: the Best, the one and only. Thanks for listening to

Speaker 1: Team I want to bring you with some bring you

1265
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: some updates on the coronavirus situation that is rattling markets

1266
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: and just scaring people all over the world right now.

1267
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: But but I just want to say, first, this was

1268
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: circulating on social media. Does is Trump having his best

1269
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,599
Speaker 1: week ever? I think that was a show. I wasn't

1270
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: it a show on E for a while, producer Mark right,

1271
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 1: Trump's having his or not Trump, but best week ever

1272
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: for different people. Yet it was a show where people

1273
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 1: are they having their best week ever? This is what's happened.

1274
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: This is gonna be Trump's week, we'll say, from last

1275
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: Wednesday to till tomorrow. So we're going ahead on this

1276
01:11:55,600 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 1: one a little bit. GPS blocked witnesses in the Peachman trial,

1277
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 1: the complete debacle with the Iowa Caucus is a State

1278
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: of the Union address tonight that is going to be

1279
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 1: a pep rally on steroids for the Trump agenda and

1280
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 1: all of its successes thus far, all time high job

1281
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: approval rating I left that out before, better than Obama's

1282
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: at this point, but also all time high for Trump

1283
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: acquittal tomorrow from the sham impeachment sign the US Canada Mexico,

1284
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: US Mexico Canada whatever trade deal. I mean, Trump is

1285
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: crushing it right now. I mean he's just doing a

1286
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: fantastic job, and yet there's such divisive, hateful stuff out there.

1287
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: About how Trump is terrible, I need to remove him

1288
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: from office and all this stuff. Anyway, It's just it's

1289
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: just insane. I really I do worry. I say this,

1290
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: and I know it's going to sound like I'm just

1291
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: being a bit a bit cheeky, but I really do

1292
01:12:57,200 --> 01:13:00,719
Speaker 1: worry about the psychological health of many, many, many, many

1293
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:05,080
Speaker 1: Democrats across the country. The day after Trump is reelected,

1294
01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: I just I'm not sure they can really handle it.

1295
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if they'll be able to

1296
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 1: process it. They're so convinced that he's the worst person ever,

1297
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 1: and yet the president is doing better than he's ever done,

1298
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: and his supporters are more locked in than they've ever

1299
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: been each year of the Trump presidency. I'm you know,

1300
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've run out of I've run out

1301
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: of giving him superlatives. I don't know what else to say.

1302
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 1: It's just better than I thought it would be. And

1303
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be good. I was

1304
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 1: a supporter, But here we are, all right. Coronavirus is

1305
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: it a Now you have the big debate over whether

1306
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: or not it qualifies as a pandemic. I mean, still

1307
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 1: most of the cases are in China, in Wuhan Province.

1308
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: And I've noticed that we were talking about experts in

1309
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: the last hour, and how we believe that experts have

1310
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: all of this this knowledge that we must always rely

1311
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: on it, and certainly in the medical field. That sure,

1312
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: I want super geniuses working in medicine. Why also, I

1313
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: want doctors to be paid well. I want medical researchers

1314
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: to be paid well. I want pharmaceutical companies to make

1315
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:15,919
Speaker 1: real profits. I do want those things to happen because

1316
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,520
Speaker 1: I want the best, you know, I don't want the

1317
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: Soviet Union's version of big pharma. I want an American

1318
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: capitalism's version of pharma. I want people who are staying

1319
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: late at the office, who could have had other jobs,

1320
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: but do this because they're really, really, really good at it,

1321
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: curing cancer and finding finding things out. So, you know,

1322
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 1: the medical area is one where we always want I

1323
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,320
Speaker 1: think we we understand that we want to have the

1324
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: most knowledge possible. We want the best of the best.

1325
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,560
Speaker 1: You know, just ask anybody, do you know do you

1326
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 1: care about your heart? Do you care about anything to

1327
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 1: do with your heart surgeons, politics, or anything else? You know,

1328
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: what color your heart surgeon is, what gender your heart

1329
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: surgeon is, or you just care about you want the

1330
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 1: best heart surgeon you can possibly get. And I think

1331
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 1: nine percent of people in this country and probably around

1332
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 1: the world would say no, No, I just want the

1333
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:10,680
Speaker 1: person who's the best. So we want those who are

1334
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: in the medical field. You know, that's that's not subjective.

1335
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: It's not like literature professors really cooh, maybe we needed

1336
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: to be more representative of whatever. No, we just want

1337
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 1: the best of the best. Unfortunately, in some cases, and

1338
01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: you graduate school admissions and other as they've fallen away

1339
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:27,240
Speaker 1: from this, even for medical school admissions, and that's that's troubling.

1340
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 1: But you look at the experts on what to do

1341
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: about a pandemic, and it's yet another one of these

1342
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: moments where if you're paying attention, you see they're not

1343
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,840
Speaker 1: really sure. You have some people who are coming out

1344
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: who are elevated as the voices we should be listening

1345
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 1: to on this, you know, specialized epidemiologists and it's a

1346
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: fun word to say epidemiologists, specialized people dealing with with outbreaks,

1347
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: dealing with contagion, mass contagion. And they'll tell you that

1348
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 1: flight bands don't work and are counterproductive and are a

1349
01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: bad thing, and they say, well, hold on a second,

1350
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 1: if we can't if containing the virus from being actually

1351
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: shipped all over the world on planes. I mean, you

1352
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 1: look at the spread of pathogens in the past that

1353
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: led to mass outbreaks, led to mass casualties, and one

1354
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 1: of the reasons that you would have outbreaks of disease,

1355
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 1: like going all the way back to the days of

1356
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: the Black Death, bubonic plague. Again, a lot of this

1357
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: pandemic disease. Now keep in mind Europeans were the source

1358
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: of New World pandemics, So I mean, disease has just

1359
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: moved from the greatest concentrations of people, which have been

1360
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: in Asia for millennia. You know, they moved west because

1361
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: of the age of exploration, the age of the great

1362
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: sailing ships, and so all of a sudden ports places

1363
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: like Venice. That's where initially the Black Death showed up

1364
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: in Europe, and then and our diseases in Europe made

1365
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: their way too, So you know, people get there. There's

1366
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: this cultural sensitivity about speaking honestly about this. Well, I mean,

1367
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 1: if we're going to talk about how about how flu

1368
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:15,440
Speaker 1: viruses originate in Asia and how some of the practices

1369
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 1: of animal husbandry, which is this way of saying, you know,

1370
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: raising animals for livestock and all. Why I keep saying,

1371
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:24,440
Speaker 1: it's like I'm getting all Shakespearean over here. There's husbandry

1372
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: in heaven. It's actually what he says in Macbeth for

1373
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: when there's not much of the moonlight coming in Producer Mark,

1374
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 1: that's what I'm here for. You just want to be

1375
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: a husband so bad that up, I've fairly got husband

1376
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,640
Speaker 1: on the mind. So I gotta I gotta gotta find that,

1377
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 1: missus Sexton. So if we take the model though, of well,

1378
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: the disease has spread throughout the Western World, starting in

1379
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 1: the Asian lamb Master. Let's keep in mind that we

1380
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: the explorers of the New World, the Europeans. When I

1381
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: say we, I just mean, you know, the West, we

1382
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: brought disease that wiped out the New World effectively. So

1383
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 1: we were the source of pandemics, smallpox notably, and influenza

1384
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 1: and some other things that came in and just effectively

1385
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 1: eradicated the populations of the New World, of the native peoples.

1386
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: That was what really did especially, I mean smallpox destroyed

1387
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: whole minor civilizations. Okay, so that's this is people say, oh,

1388
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,719
Speaker 1: let's not talk about how these disease originated in Asia.

1389
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: Know they originate in Asia, they go to the rest

1390
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: of the world, and we have a history. We e

1391
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: the Europeans spread lots of disease. So disease is a

1392
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: human thing, right, It's not a nationality thing. It's we're

1393
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: all just trying to avoid untimely death and all the

1394
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: pain and laws that comes from pandemic disease. Okay, so

1395
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: now let's just look at this from the expert perspective.

1396
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: Some of them are saying that we shouldn't have these

1397
01:18:41,320 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: flight bands in place, and I just sit here and

1398
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: I say, well, it shouldn't. We be all in the

1399
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: same page about continuing to say, oh no, but it

1400
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: doesn't really work, and it ends up economically depressing areas,

1401
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: And then there's less honesty about whether in governments because

1402
01:18:58,160 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: they don't want to lose all the revenue from having

1403
01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 1: the flight bands and you have all this stuff, and

1404
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 1: so the experts don't agree on what to do about

1405
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: this necessarily, which I always feel is a place that

1406
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: we have to remember. We find ourselves as the public

1407
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 1: figuring out who we should listen to and asking those

1408
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: who make decisions in power based upon expertise to understand

1409
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:21,960
Speaker 1: that even scientific expertise can be a whole lot there's

1410
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,759
Speaker 1: a whole lot of descent, a whole lot of competing

1411
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 1: theories about what to do in pandemic disease is one

1412
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: of those areas you think about, even to just yesterday,

1413
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 1: prous of work, you know. I saw that they're saying

1414
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 1: now that babies unless they have a real allergy to it,

1415
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,839
Speaker 1: a true allergy, not alike. I read something on Gwyneth

1416
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,200
Speaker 1: Paltrow's Goop site that says, we have allergies to it,

1417
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,839
Speaker 1: that milk, and in fact, whole milk is good for babies.

1418
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,600
Speaker 1: Now again they've decided that's really good for babies. You

1419
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 1: show young and young people growing whole milk, full fat milk,

1420
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 1: very good things when they feel like it. Well, I mean,

1421
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: because like there was a few years ago, like oh no,

1422
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:00,679
Speaker 1: cow's milk bad, you know, antibiotics, all these things everything.

1423
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't even supposed to drink whole milk. I mean,

1424
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: I love whole milk, by the way, really yeah of coral,

1425
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:06,600
Speaker 1: yeah totally. I'm I'm a little bittle bit of a

1426
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 1: milk snob. I will only drink organic milk. It tastes better. Oh,

1427
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 1: you're one of those. And it has nothing to do

1428
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 1: like a producer. Mark is a fancy milk guy. It

1429
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with like, oh I need to

1430
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: drink organic. No, it just tastes better. I have. I

1431
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 1: have hazel nut milk, and I will tell you that

1432
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: I pour hazel nut milk in my Black Rifle coffee

1433
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 1: in the morning, which I'm not sure if that's okay.

1434
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: I wanted the Black Rifle guys to find out that

1435
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm pouring hazelnut milk and they're delicious coffee to taste

1436
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 1: like hazelnut, right, Well, it's just it's just milk hazelnuts. Yeah, yeah,

1437
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 1: So it tastes like hazel what's wrong with that? It's

1438
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: a little fruit through you know what I mean. I mean,

1439
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:38,600
Speaker 1: we'll get that and like, you know, I feel like

1440
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I feel like in America, we like we like that

1441
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:44,759
Speaker 1: little plastic creamer thing that can last like fifteen years,

1442
01:20:44,840 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 1: Like after the nuclear apocalypse, you could still open one

1443
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: of those little creamer plastic things they have in the andy.

1444
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 1: It still tastes the same. Whatever it is, just putting

1445
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: your tail in your coffee, it's just wet. Oh my gosh,

1446
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 1: have you ever had any tel Now you're gonna have

1447
01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:59,400
Speaker 1: to roll me into this place. I have ever had

1448
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: to tell you. I don't know. You could put an

1449
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: tell on my shoes and I would eat them on

1450
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,719
Speaker 1: the planet. I'm talking about the tell I was talking

1451
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:08,600
Speaker 1: about pandemic did all right, I'm gonna go back to

1452
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: pandemic disease here, and what's going on with coronavirus? Hold

1453
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: on a second. You're in the Freedom hud. This is

1454
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:24,680
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. So the experts on coronavirus

1455
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 1: aren't aren't seeing out eye, And I wanted to tell

1456
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: you on what to do about it necessarily, and we

1457
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,679
Speaker 1: have to rely on the Chinese government. And it's interesting because,

1458
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:35,639
Speaker 1: you know, pandemic disease is a place where you see

1459
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: the crossover of people who are very status and people

1460
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:46,360
Speaker 1: who are believing in much more limited government. Because this

1461
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: is really a national pandemic disease automatically, phil falls into

1462
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: a really a national security exception. I mean, the only

1463
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: way that you're going to stem these things, You're not

1464
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:56,720
Speaker 1: going to rely on the private sector to just do

1465
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: its thing right all of a sudden, you want government action.

1466
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: And there's some interesting history here. I'm gonna bring it

1467
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: back to New York City for a second on how

1468
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,799
Speaker 1: to stemp pandemic diseases, because I told you yesterday about

1469
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: I think it was the eighteen thirty two and eighteen

1470
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,680
Speaker 1: forty nine the cholera epidemics in New York City killed

1471
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: thousands of people, which would be more like one hundred

1472
01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: thousand people in New York City today if you adjusted

1473
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: for population size. Well, there was some sense that the

1474
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: water was dirty. They didn't really understand microbiology at that point,

1475
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 1: but they knew the water was dirty. And so what

1476
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: ended up happening, Well, the state of New York had

1477
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: to come up with a plan to deal with this,

1478
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 1: and there were some experts who said, we're gonna we

1479
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:40,720
Speaker 1: build an aqueduct. An aqueduct from what is now the

1480
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: Croton Reservoir System brings water into New York City. People

1481
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 1: have clean fresh water, better for everybody, great for public health.

1482
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,960
Speaker 1: We need to do this. But instead you had competing interests,

1483
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: in this case, competing commercial interests. A fellow named Aaron Burr.

1484
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 1: You guys all remember him, right. Aaron Burr wanted to

1485
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 1: found a bank, but you needed a charter from the

1486
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: state of New York to found a bank back in

1487
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: seventeen ninety nine, and to get that charter, you had

1488
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 1: to say that there was going to be some public good.

1489
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 1: So what he set up was a water company, a

1490
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 1: water company called the Manhattan Company, and this was going

1491
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,040
Speaker 1: to be a competitor to you guessed at Alexander Hamilton's

1492
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 1: Bank of New York. So the Manhattan Company comes in

1493
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: and says, oh, we have this charter, now what should

1494
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: be doing the public good of bringing water in and

1495
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: so we will pull together funds to create a water

1496
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: system for the city of New York, which will help

1497
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: prevent these outbreaks of things like yellow fever and cholera

1498
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:46,679
Speaker 1: and you know other diseases pathogens, bacteria, protozoa that float

1499
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: in the water. Usually it has to do with not

1500
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:50,240
Speaker 1: to be gross if you're if you're eating lunch, turn

1501
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: away for a second. Usually has to do with essentially

1502
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: human wastewater getting into your drinking water. That was the

1503
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: big problem, especially with wells. They didn't really understand that

1504
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: that the water groundwork can be infected and seep into wells,

1505
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 1: that they're not protected properly. So the Manhattan Company decides

1506
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: that they're going that they have this charter and they're

1507
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: going to bring in a water system. But what do

1508
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:11,760
Speaker 1: they do well, they just want to make profit. Aaron

1509
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:13,719
Speaker 1: Burd just wants to make more money because any money

1510
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 1: left over after they've raised the funds to build the

1511
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 1: aqueduct system into New York in seventeen ninety nine, any

1512
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 1: money that they have left over, they can use for

1513
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 1: banking purposes. Ah. Yes, So the Manhattan Company decides instead

1514
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:32,760
Speaker 1: of using metal pipes, iron pipes to bring in the water,

1515
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,240
Speaker 1: they want to use wooden pipes, holid out trees instead

1516
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: of using Instead of using a more mechanized system to

1517
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: initially flush the water out, they used horse drawn system

1518
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:49,639
Speaker 1: to do so. They essentially cut corners. And the biggest

1519
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: corner of all was instead of bringing water in from

1520
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 1: the Croton Reservoir system north of the city, pristine, clear,

1521
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: beautiful water, which also would have been How when you

1522
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 1: run water over sand and gravel, there's a process you

1523
01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 1: run it through sand and gravel, it can be cleaned

1524
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:09,879
Speaker 1: distilled to a certain degree. That way, a large percentage

1525
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 1: of pathogens can be removed from water just through that

1526
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 1: simple filtration system, and really a natural filtration system, and

1527
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: instead they get all cheap on it, and they decide

1528
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: to go on the cheap and they also bring in

1529
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: water from a stagnant pool here in the city to

1530
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: distribute to people as part of this water system. And

1531
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 1: sure enough, there is a whole lot of disease that

1532
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: results from this disease that is primarily affecting those who

1533
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,360
Speaker 1: cannot escape the city when their outbreaks, those who do

1534
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 1: not have country homes or homes, and other parts of

1535
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:43,759
Speaker 1: the city. And so the five points that I mentioned

1536
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: to you, and Irish and freed slaves and newly arrived

1537
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:53,719
Speaker 1: Irish immigrants getting the worst end of this. Interesting little

1538
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 1: historical note too. The Manhattan Company, which was founded by

1539
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Burr, you know, Aaron Burr was Vice President of

1540
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: the United States, got second most votes after Thomas Jefferson,

1541
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:05,640
Speaker 1: and that was the way they used to do this

1542
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 1: system then and Alexander Hamilton was talking a lot of

1543
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: stuff about Burr and also including his rapacious greed and

1544
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: his practices as a founder of the Manhattan Company. And

1545
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,160
Speaker 1: as we know, that led to a duel in Weehawk

1546
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:24,920
Speaker 1: in New York. Hamilton shot his gun to defend his honor,

1547
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 1: but away from Burr Burr just put one right in

1548
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: his chest killed him. Interestingly enough, that Water company you

1549
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: probably all have heard of that Manhattan the Manhattan Company,

1550
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 1: which was initially set up to bring water into the

1551
01:26:40,720 --> 01:26:44,480
Speaker 1: city of New York. Because that, through iterations of corporate mergers,

1552
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: became what is known as JP Morgan Chase, the second

1553
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: largest bank in the world. That is how it started

1554
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:55,799
Speaker 1: out bringing dirty water to poor people to save money

1555
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 1: so they could lend money out and make it on

1556
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 1: the banking side. That is the reality of it. That's

1557
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: also why if you look at the JP Morgan Chase logo,

1558
01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 1: you might look in and say, oh, it just looks

1559
01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: like a corporate logo. Uh. JP Morgan Chase's corporate logo

1560
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 1: comes from the Greek god of the ocean, oceanics Poseidon

1561
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:22,680
Speaker 1: kind of but oceanics. Uh, that's that's where all this

1562
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: comes from. Isn't that interesting? There was a in fact,

1563
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: they used to hold meetings up until I think it

1564
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:32,639
Speaker 1: was eighteen ninety nine. The board of JP Morgan, which

1565
01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't called JP Morgan at the time it went.

1566
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 1: It went through very you know, there's all this different

1567
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 1: consolidations that occurred. But that the company that was the

1568
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: Manhattan The Manhattan Company even after it gave up, and

1569
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: it gave up pretty quickly having anything with water held

1570
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: itself up as as a water as a water company,

1571
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: and they would have these board meetings and they would

1572
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 1: all have drinking glasses out with water, and it's sort

1573
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 1: of as as a tradition, but that is in fact

1574
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,280
Speaker 1: the origin story of the second largest bank in the

1575
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: world today, JP Morgan Chase. It started out it was

1576
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:10,760
Speaker 1: founded by Aaron Burr to compete with Alexander Hamilton, and

1577
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 1: they decided to bring dirty water to poor people, which

1578
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 1: poisoned them and their children, in order to make a

1579
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: little more money. You can imagine there's a lot of

1580
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,599
Speaker 1: people that point to this now and say corporations are bad.

1581
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 1: But I would point to this and say, well, maybe

1582
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have had chrony capitalism and the charter necessary

1583
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:30,000
Speaker 1: to form the bank in the first place coming from

1584
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 1: the state of New York which decided there had to

1585
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:34,800
Speaker 1: be a social welfare component for a company that had

1586
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 1: no interest in social welfare. See what I did there.

1587
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: But that is the fun history lesson of today. Producer Mark,

1588
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: was that your favorite history lesson so far? Is that

1589
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: is that top of the list? JP Morgan Chase. If

1590
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 1: you go in there, I'd be like, Hey, you guys

1591
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: still feeding dirty water to poor people? Yeah, I should absolutely.

1592
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure they will understand what I'm saying too. I'm

1593
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 1: not sure that your average teller would necessarily or even

1594
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:00,080
Speaker 1: your average JP Morgan Chase managing director would know the backstory.

1595
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: But does ce don't even know that. I don't know,

1596
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 1: just buck no more than the CEO. It's always possible.

1597
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: It's a thing that could happen. Yeah, So that's that's

1598
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: how we got say, pandemic disease in New York City

1599
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 1: was what led to the founding of the second largist

1600
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Bank of the World, which I'm sure some of you

1601
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 1: have accounts with and do you're checking with, et cetera, etc.

1602
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:19,960
Speaker 1: You can now you can drop a little knowledge and

1603
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 1: you walk in your JP Morgan Chase branch and just

1604
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 1: be like, Hey, where do you guys get your drinking

1605
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 1: water from? Thanks for listening to the bus Session Show podcasts.

1606
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or

1607
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:36,439
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. I know I'm going to

1608
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:38,920
Speaker 1: get notes on this one, so I said this before.

1609
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: He's like Posidon, but Oceanis was the Titan god of

1610
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:46,879
Speaker 1: the water, whereas Poseidon is an Olympian from Mount Olympus,

1611
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: which we actually randomly mentioned before on the show. So

1612
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,800
Speaker 1: Oceanis was from the Titan period of Greek mythology and

1613
01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:58,439
Speaker 1: Poseidon is from the Olympian school of make believe gods

1614
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,280
Speaker 1: from the Greeks. Anyway, I because I knew Producer Mark

1615
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna get a hammer on that one. Now

1616
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 1: we can begin our role call. Please like soft butter

1617
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 1: on warm toast, time to spread some freedom coast to coast.

1618
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:22,519
Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. It is time for roll call.

1619
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 1: First up, we've got Adam, who writes in. Producer Mark

1620
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:30,120
Speaker 1: I recently saw the Harlem Globetrotters. I think the song

1621
01:30:30,240 --> 01:30:33,519
Speaker 1: might be Bucks Kryptonite Shields high. I assume there's a

1622
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 1: lot of whistling, and I meant you like when I

1623
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:40,760
Speaker 1: have sound effects ready, thank you. I don't think I'm

1624
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 1: gonna have an injurism. That's enough, that's enough. Sure, Yeah,

1625
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,719
Speaker 1: I think we're good. Okay, Look, whistling is not something

1626
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 1: that people need to do. I'm just just putting it

1627
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 1: out there. Bill Hey, Buck, I have recently started listening

1628
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:55,679
Speaker 1: to your podcast, and I have to say it's quickly

1629
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: become my favorite. I just and I purchased a couple

1630
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:00,640
Speaker 1: of Tomahawk ribis and tried the reverse your method. I

1631
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 1: will never grill my ribbis again. Shield's high. Well, Bill,

1632
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 1: First of all, you have fantastic taste in podcasts and

1633
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 1: in red meat. Ribi is my favorite cut. I recently

1634
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:17,200
Speaker 1: had had a kind of American style wag you that

1635
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:20,160
Speaker 1: starts with a Z and I'm trying to remember if

1636
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 1: I could even tell you. I think it was like

1637
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 1: a zamboni or something like that. It was, Oh, zabuton.

1638
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 1: There we go. I want to make sure I got

1639
01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:32,400
Speaker 1: this one right. I had a zabuton steak. I made

1640
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:38,600
Speaker 1: it for myself. Wow. It was fantastic, highly highly recommend

1641
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:45,240
Speaker 1: because it was similar, I believe, to a butcher's steak. Yeah,

1642
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 1: it's similar to a butcher's steak or butcher's cut steak,

1643
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:49,799
Speaker 1: which is also excellent. You look at it, it it almost

1644
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 1: looks like a short rib. It's a bit thick and

1645
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,000
Speaker 1: kind of square. Usually the way they cut up it

1646
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 1: is it was delicious. Yeah. Reverse Here here's the thing

1647
01:31:57,200 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 1: I understand, there's nothing quite as satisfying. It's throwing a

1648
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 1: big hunk of red meat on a on a really

1649
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 1: hot grill outdoors. You hear the seer, you smell it,

1650
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 1: all the men of making myself hungry, all the you know,

1651
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:16,080
Speaker 1: the charcoal and carbonization and all this stuff adds all

1652
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: this flavor. But you know it doesn't add flavor when

1653
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:23,760
Speaker 1: the outside of your meat is blackened and you get

1654
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 1: to the center of your very expensive, very delicious cut

1655
01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 1: of red meat and it is like stone cold and purple. Now,

1656
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,000
Speaker 1: some of you might like your steak black and blue.

1657
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:34,000
Speaker 1: I am not one of them. I like it medium

1658
01:32:34,080 --> 01:32:37,080
Speaker 1: rare because I'm a civilized fellow rare. I will do

1659
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:39,160
Speaker 1: sometimes I will say that if I'm really living on

1660
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 1: the edge. But I like I'm a medium rare guy.

1661
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 1: And if you reverse sear and you just look it

1662
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 1: up on YouTube, I should do it. You know what,

1663
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:47,640
Speaker 1: because we are going to have a YouTube channel up

1664
01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 1: to in producer Mark, we keep stopping and starting on

1665
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: this one. I'm going to do a whole bucks reverse

1666
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 1: sear method where maybe I'll sit there and I'll talk

1667
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 1: politics while I reverse seer a steak, and we'll put

1668
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 1: this on YouTube. Well, that would be interesting and it'll

1669
01:33:00,400 --> 01:33:02,400
Speaker 1: be like Buck's Cooking School. That's what I'm saying. While

1670
01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 1: you talk politics, I mean, or just about things you

1671
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:06,600
Speaker 1: don't even need the politics. Yeah, I probably just do

1672
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: like history lessons or something, or talking about something more

1673
01:33:08,680 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 1: interesting than politics. But the reverse, hear. Have you tried

1674
01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 1: to your producer Mark, I would like you and the

1675
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 1: missus the next time you guys are doing red meat

1676
01:33:15,439 --> 01:33:17,519
Speaker 1: at home. She doesn't need red meat. That's right, you

1677
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:19,160
Speaker 1: told me that, So do you ever? Do you? You

1678
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 1: know it's too much point myself. Yeah, okay, forget that.

1679
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 1: I'll have you guys over some time. I'll cook you.

1680
01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:26,559
Speaker 1: I'll cook you guys the reverse your method, because if

1681
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:29,679
Speaker 1: you're really into cooking it perfectly, I mean, you want

1682
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: it exactly the right temperature and exactly the right seer

1683
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: on the outside. Reverse here, it's it's annoying. It turns

1684
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: it a little bit more into a chemistry experiment. I

1685
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: love taking my burger, throwing it on and I can

1686
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:44,160
Speaker 1: do the field test, which is when you just push

1687
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:46,360
Speaker 1: it and you can tell in the center based on

1688
01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:49,160
Speaker 1: how squishy it is, whether or not it's whether well

1689
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 1: it's ready. I'm I can prey. If the burger is

1690
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 1: thin enough, I can do that. If it's too thick,

1691
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 1: you can't because then it's just it's motion in the middle.

1692
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:59,040
Speaker 1: You can't tell. But if you do the reverse here

1693
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 1: things you have to you have to do it like

1694
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,519
Speaker 1: a science experiments where you're putting the thermometer in like

1695
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 1: every because you'll reach a certain point and you'll get close.

1696
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 1: But you want to get a perfect you gotta put

1697
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 1: it in like every five minutes to see. So it's

1698
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:11,720
Speaker 1: a little much better cook than I expected. Yeah, that's right.

1699
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: I've skills. Yeah, oh no, no, no, I actually make

1700
01:34:16,160 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 1: it happen, man, I make it happen. You're you're a

1701
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 1: single man in New York. You know you gotta know

1702
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 1: how to cook. That's true. You know what I'm saying. Damn,

1703
01:34:22,439 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 1: restaurants are expensive. So I'm glad you like the reverse

1704
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,920
Speaker 1: her method. Everyone else at home, you're probably saying, bucket

1705
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,200
Speaker 1: sounds fancy, It sounds like a fancy French word for

1706
01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:34,799
Speaker 1: surrender reverse here, But no, it really is, in fact

1707
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:37,639
Speaker 1: a great way to cook your meat. And you will

1708
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 1: you will love it. Um you will think it is

1709
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:42,920
Speaker 1: fantastic once you've done it, and it's the way you

1710
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:45,400
Speaker 1: want to cook your meat all the time. Leanne. Right,

1711
01:34:45,479 --> 01:34:47,759
Speaker 1: So what's the name of your brother's gluten free bakery, Leanne.

1712
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 1: My brother is the founder of a luten free baked

1713
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 1: goods company called Susie's s O O Z y Um.

1714
01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,439
Speaker 1: They have them in a bunch of national retailers. You

1715
01:34:57,479 --> 01:34:59,200
Speaker 1: can just see them online. You'll check it out there.

1716
01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing, the best gluten free products you'll

1717
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 1: get in my opinion, of course, my Rose company, but

1718
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 1: I really do believe this best gluten free products you'll

1719
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 1: find anywhere in the baked It's in the frozen section

1720
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:11,040
Speaker 1: of the grocery store, by the way. And that's another

1721
01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:15,520
Speaker 1: thing too. I used to think frozen was equaled, not fresh.

1722
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:18,599
Speaker 1: When I was young, I didn't really understand this. The

1723
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 1: freezer is a critical part of, you know, your whole

1724
01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:27,120
Speaker 1: culinary life and experience, because the freezer is where you're

1725
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 1: going to keep a lot of meat that stays for

1726
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 1: a very long time, that stays good. It's freezer is

1727
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 1: not just for TV dinner. Freezer is for fruits and

1728
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 1: vegetables picked at maximum ripeness. So that when you want them,

1729
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 1: you have them, and you don't have to worry about that.

1730
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:45,960
Speaker 1: You can keep I mean I've pulled. I've pulled ground

1731
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 1: chuck for example, really good ground chuck out of the

1732
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,719
Speaker 1: freezer after a couple of months and made a burger

1733
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:53,599
Speaker 1: out of it. It It was absolutely fantastic. Gotta make sure

1734
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 1: it stayed frozen the whole time. But you ever you

1735
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 1: rocked the freezer, freeze is always full. Though. If you

1736
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:01,960
Speaker 1: go to a restaurant food taste frozen, that's probably well,

1737
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 1: that's a bad thing, right, they're moving, so they should

1738
01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:07,479
Speaker 1: be moving so much product through that why would they

1739
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:09,760
Speaker 1: have to use the freezer. But at home it's a

1740
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:11,920
Speaker 1: very normal thing. At home, it's very very economical. You

1741
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 1: gotta be jays or something very economical, right, And if

1742
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,000
Speaker 1: you get a great deal on for example, you know,

1743
01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 1: if you get a great deal on Prime rib or something,

1744
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: you know you use some of it maybe right away,

1745
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:21,559
Speaker 1: but if you know, obviously you don't want to throw

1746
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: it out. Food cost will just go up if you

1747
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 1: do that, your own personal food costs. So I would

1748
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:28,559
Speaker 1: say go for it. But baked goods, here's a little

1749
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:30,479
Speaker 1: trick for you. Do you go to the county fair

1750
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:34,320
Speaker 1: and you get a delicious uh you know, to some

1751
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:36,639
Speaker 1: delicious chocolate chip cookies that are still moist and whatever.

1752
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:39,720
Speaker 1: If you put them in the freezer right away, if

1753
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:41,439
Speaker 1: you're not gonna eat all of them, you can pull

1754
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:42,960
Speaker 1: them out and you can even just you don't have

1755
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 1: to thaw them. You can just put them in the microwave.

1756
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:48,640
Speaker 1: They'll be almost every bit as good as when they

1757
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 1: came out of the oven. I mean truly minimal. Minimal. Yeah. Oh,

1758
01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:54,280
Speaker 1: you can do with really any baked good. I've done

1759
01:36:54,280 --> 01:36:57,720
Speaker 1: it with um if you take so. I sometimes will

1760
01:36:57,760 --> 01:37:00,760
Speaker 1: find like fancy gluten free paste trees are bread, like

1761
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:02,960
Speaker 1: gluten free pistachio bread is something. I found that a

1762
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 1: few coffee shops in New York are very fancy. I'm

1763
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:08,360
Speaker 1: sure they kind of are everywhere. Now. I was in

1764
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:10,920
Speaker 1: Nashville and they're like, excuse me, like I'm doing some

1765
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 1: chemistry with your coffee. I was like, this is Nashville.

1766
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,760
Speaker 1: What are you doing, sir? Give me a cup of joe? Yeah. So, yeah,

1767
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:19,120
Speaker 1: I know if you if you take like banana bread,

1768
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:21,360
Speaker 1: for example, that's fresh, and you put it in the freezer,

1769
01:37:21,400 --> 01:37:23,880
Speaker 1: it'll be fine. So that's a thing you can do

1770
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,040
Speaker 1: with Susie's. I mean they have muffins and donuts. And

1771
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 1: you take producer Mark Howlin, he'll tell you what it

1772
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,640
Speaker 1: was very good. Yeah, you put it in the microwave

1773
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:36,160
Speaker 1: for thirty or forty seconds and it's fantastic. Joe, right buck,

1774
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:38,320
Speaker 1: Hey man, hope life's good. Keep fighting the good fight.

1775
01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:41,600
Speaker 1: I wanted my wife to listen to the let me

1776
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: tell you a story about Kobe Bryant monologue about the

1777
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 1: boy he visited the hospital, but I couldn't find it?

1778
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 1: Could you or producer Mark point me in the right direction?

1779
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 1: Shields high? Um, I do you want? Do you want

1780
01:37:56,400 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 1: the thing? I have to know? Joe, We're happy to

1781
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:00,200
Speaker 1: put into the right direction. But just right back us.

1782
01:38:00,200 --> 01:38:03,640
Speaker 1: Know if you're looking for what I said about that

1783
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: on the show, or if you're looking for just the

1784
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 1: Facebook post it was based, do you want to read

1785
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:10,040
Speaker 1: or do you want to hear? It? Is what we have.

1786
01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:11,640
Speaker 1: I think a couple of people who wanted to read it.

1787
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:13,080
Speaker 1: They want to say, no, where to find it? Want

1788
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:15,839
Speaker 1: to read it? I will send it then to producer

1789
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 1: Mark and we can put it up on the Facebook

1790
01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 1: page Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton. So because I

1791
01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 1: have it, I have it somewhere. So that's the that's

1792
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:26,680
Speaker 1: the best way I think we can go about that,

1793
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 1: all right. Next up here, Mike hi Buck. Like all

1794
01:38:32,920 --> 01:38:35,799
Speaker 1: of us, I was devastated to hear Rush's announcement. Thankfully

1795
01:38:35,800 --> 01:38:37,840
Speaker 1: he has. He is a fighter that has millions praying

1796
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 1: for his recovery. It reminds me of how we so

1797
01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:44,639
Speaker 1: easily take for granted the influential conservative voices that offer

1798
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,639
Speaker 1: real insight and wisdom, especially when good humor is involved.

1799
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,439
Speaker 1: The importance of laughter can never be underestimated. I listened

1800
01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:54,719
Speaker 1: to several radio shows and find yours the only other

1801
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 1: one that gives me the same genuine satisfaction as L.

1802
01:38:57,840 --> 01:39:02,160
Speaker 1: Rushbo does. So keep up what you're ps. Do you

1803
01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:05,360
Speaker 1: think Rush should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from

1804
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,160
Speaker 1: Trump for what it's worth? Seems like a fitting gesture,

1805
01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:10,120
Speaker 1: But maybe Rush wouldn't like the spotlight on him in

1806
01:39:10,160 --> 01:39:12,320
Speaker 1: that way. Just a thought any anyhow, Shields High. First

1807
01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:14,800
Speaker 1: of all, Mark, I mean, Mike, thank you so much

1808
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 1: for the kind note. And yeah, we're all we're all

1809
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,600
Speaker 1: pulling for Rush. And if anyone, if anyone's going to

1810
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:24,160
Speaker 1: come out of this. Uh, you know, fine, it's gonna

1811
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:28,160
Speaker 1: be Rush Lombaugh and then guy's a fighter as forum.

1812
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 1: Whether he should get the Medal of Freedom, I think

1813
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. I don't I don't know, As

1814
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:33,800
Speaker 1: I said earlier in the show, I've never met Rush,

1815
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:37,080
Speaker 1: never even talked to Rush, but I think that that

1816
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:41,120
Speaker 1: would certainly be fitting. And he created he created, really,

1817
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, an industry, you know, I mean, Rush is

1818
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 1: like think of him almost like the Steve Jobs of

1819
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:50,200
Speaker 1: talk radio, and that he created this whole world that

1820
01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: didn't really exist before. People might say, oh, there was

1821
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:55,560
Speaker 1: there was you know, they're a talk host before I

1822
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 1: think there was this guy Bob Grant, who I think,

1823
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm not a talk radio story by any stretch. I

1824
01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 1: don't know that much about it before my time. But Rush,

1825
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean there was a time when I was younger,

1826
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 1: I remember him. It was basically Rush Limbaugh. And then

1827
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 1: it came up with the Internet, the Drudge Report, and

1828
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,720
Speaker 1: you had Fox News starting in nineteen ninety six. But

1829
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:22,719
Speaker 1: the whole world of conservative the alternative that conservative media

1830
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 1: presented to the American people was only really possible because

1831
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 1: of the trailblazing that rush Limbaugh did. He created that

1832
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:35,560
Speaker 1: space that now so many of us have rushed alongside

1833
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 1: him to try and you know, to try and fill

1834
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 1: in our own way. But he was leading the charge.

1835
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 1: We were the ones that came in after him, the

1836
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:44,680
Speaker 1: generations that came after him, and other talk hosts from

1837
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:50,320
Speaker 1: his generation too. You're in the freedom hunt. This is

1838
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:56,880
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. All right. We got Richard

1839
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:00,840
Speaker 1: writing in for Roll Call. Buck. I work third so

1840
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 1: I get paid to be up. Huh, Okay, I'm watching

1841
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:09,040
Speaker 1: this Iowa debacle. This is why you stress test your software.

1842
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 1: Remember when Romney's Get out the Vote app crashed on

1843
01:41:12,200 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 1: election day? The Dems now just did the same thing.

1844
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just better to use paper to record votes

1845
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:21,519
Speaker 1: and a phone call to them to put them in.

1846
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:23,640
Speaker 1: And these people want to take over everyone's healthcare. They

1847
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:26,519
Speaker 1: can't make an app to record one thousand, six hundred anyone,

1848
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 1: cacus precinct results, shields and wait times high. Yeah, Richard's

1849
01:41:32,120 --> 01:41:33,960
Speaker 1: a bad look for the Democrats, no question about it.

1850
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: Bad look from the Democrats. This was not you know,

1851
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 1: we should expect that they'd be more capable than this.

1852
01:41:42,120 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 1: Even for Democrats, this was particularly weak Carl. Next up, Buck,

1853
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:48,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to point out a characteristic of yours I

1854
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 1: think separates you from other show hosts and why I've

1855
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:54,400
Speaker 1: stuck with you for going on five years. You have

1856
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 1: great instincts. What I mean is you always know exactly

1857
01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,000
Speaker 1: what those on the left wing will say or do

1858
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:01,880
Speaker 1: in a given situation, how they really think, and what

1859
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:05,160
Speaker 1: motivates them. It's more than just understanding their arguments. You

1860
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 1: know what makes them tick, and you see through fakes,

1861
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 1: almost like you have a sixth sense, always spot on.

1862
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm tired of people citing the

1863
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 1: fact that Bernie is consistent, as if that's some sign

1864
01:42:16,320 --> 01:42:19,479
Speaker 1: of higher morality or honesty. No, no, he's just an

1865
01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:23,400
Speaker 1: ideological fanatic. When the rest of America recognized communism for

1866
01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 1: what it is post Cold War, all Bernie did was

1867
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: changed the name out Front Communist to Democratic Socialist, like

1868
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:32,839
Speaker 1: a bad buffet that got shut down for healthclad violations

1869
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 1: and opens the next day under a new name. Shields High. Carl,

1870
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I appreciate your your insights on

1871
01:42:40,960 --> 01:42:45,479
Speaker 1: Bernie's changing of the nomenclature for his ideology, and then

1872
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,639
Speaker 1: also the kind words about my instincts on the show.

1873
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. I appreciate five years. Man, that's great.

1874
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:54,160
Speaker 1: That's we've spent a lot of time together. That's why

1875
01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 1: I always love the team because whenever they see me

1876
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:58,360
Speaker 1: on the real world, people who listen to the show,

1877
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:00,599
Speaker 1: the didn't know me. I mean, they've spent a lot

1878
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:02,479
Speaker 1: of time hanging out with me. They know what I think,

1879
01:43:02,520 --> 01:43:05,120
Speaker 1: they know what I sound like, they know they know

1880
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:07,360
Speaker 1: my I was gonna say my kids names, whoops, no

1881
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 1: kids yet. They know my parents dogs name, they know

1882
01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:15,760
Speaker 1: my siblings names. All that dusted hey, buck listening and

1883
01:43:15,880 --> 01:43:19,320
Speaker 1: the TV analogy used actually proves your argument wrong. The

1884
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:21,760
Speaker 1: reason those TV's are cheaper and better is because they're

1885
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:24,559
Speaker 1: made in China, and as you know, they're communists. Just

1886
01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:29,799
Speaker 1: saying no dustin that doesn't prove the argument wrong, because

1887
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 1: the argument is that when people are incentivized, they will

1888
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 1: make they will make better products and make them more cheaply.

1889
01:43:37,400 --> 01:43:40,360
Speaker 1: The Chinese are incent We're incentivized to do that too,

1890
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 1: and that's why you are able to buy a television

1891
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 1: that today is three hundred dollars that ten years ago

1892
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 1: would have been three thousand dollars. That's why you carry

1893
01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:51,559
Speaker 1: around a supercomputer in your pocket. Capitalism is not limited

1894
01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 1: to this country. We are in a global market. So

1895
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing how TV's getting cheaper because they're made

1896
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:02,360
Speaker 1: in China. Prove that capitalism does not result in better

1897
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 1: and more and more efficient products. And in fact, China

1898
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 1: has embraced market economics in certain sectors of its economy,

1899
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 1: certainly in its global exports, because that's how it's making

1900
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:16,679
Speaker 1: so much money in China. Is not a true China

1901
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:20,599
Speaker 1: is a is a command control Uh, you know, China

1902
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 1: is essentially an authoritarian capitalist country. Now it's not really

1903
01:44:25,560 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 1: it's it's not a communist country. There's no way, because

1904
01:44:29,280 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, you got people driving or I think people

1905
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:33,439
Speaker 1: rolling over the place. I was just there, what nine

1906
01:44:33,479 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 1: months eight months ago, people driving around and BMW's all

1907
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:38,960
Speaker 1: over the place. My friends, this is not the Soviet

1908
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 1: Union communism that you're used to, Erica. I wasn't bothered

1909
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 1: by the Bloomberg ad. On the contrary, I want all

1910
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:51,160
Speaker 1: the Democratic presidents for candidates to waste their campaign funds

1911
01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:54,160
Speaker 1: on ads that try to persuade me to vote for them. Well, Erica,

1912
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that, because you know, we as

1913
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:58,719
Speaker 1: we've told you, we have no we have no ability

1914
01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: to control political ads that go on the ad space,

1915
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: on the podcast or on our radio show here, because

1916
01:45:06,880 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 1: there are fair you know, equal time regulations, fair time

1917
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:15,960
Speaker 1: regulations that come into play during a political cycle. And yeah,

1918
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if we can get some of that Bloomberg

1919
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 1: cash right, producer Mark Bruce and Martney's a new pair

1920
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 1: of shoes. Yeah, I need a lot of things. If

1921
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:24,240
Speaker 1: he wants to donate money directly to me, that'd be great. Yeah.

1922
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if Bloomberg just wants to like sponsor the

1923
01:45:26,720 --> 01:45:28,240
Speaker 1: first hour of the Buck Sex and Show Off, all

1924
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:30,360
Speaker 1: I have to do is be like, Hi, I'm ay

1925
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 1: a Bloomberg vote. I don't think you would like the

1926
01:45:32,200 --> 01:45:35,200
Speaker 1: impression very much. Well, at least I'm saying he's not

1927
01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 1: super short like Trump. Yeah, that's true. You defend him earlier. Yeah,

1928
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:44,679
Speaker 1: see exactly, Peter. You're Elizabeth warren impersonation last week regarding

1929
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:47,479
Speaker 1: her celebrity crush on The Rock was so funny that

1930
01:45:47,520 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: now you have at least three new podcasts subscribers because

1931
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:52,720
Speaker 1: of it. Well, thank you, Peter. Is there a way

1932
01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:55,479
Speaker 1: that Chief Justice Roberts can be forced to explain these

1933
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 1: reasons for refusing to read Ran Paul's question with Eric

1934
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 1: Charromello's name in it. I found that appalling, and I

1935
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:04,799
Speaker 1: wish Rand had pressed the issue. I believe that forcing

1936
01:46:04,840 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 1: the issue would either force Roberts to pretend to be

1937
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:09,960
Speaker 1: embarrassingly stupid or out him as the partisan fraud he is,

1938
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 1: or some combination thereof Shields High, Peter, Peter, I don't know.

1939
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:16,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what the mechanism would be for getting

1940
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: an answer from Justice Roberts on that one, but I

1941
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:22,240
Speaker 1: would like an answer. I'm with you. I don't understand

1942
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:23,760
Speaker 1: what the heck was going on there. That struck me

1943
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:28,639
Speaker 1: as way off, Sam tonight, I was way off, all right, everybody.

1944
01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:30,599
Speaker 1: The show was amazing today, It'll be amazing tomorrow. Thank
