WEBVTT - Iowa Blows Its Caucus 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:15.040 You are entering the freedom hunt. State of Io has 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.360 some problems with its caucus. We have people declaring victory. 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:20.600 We don't have results in We're gonna find out what's 0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.880 going on there. Plus, Trump isn't tired of winning yet. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.160 You'll hear a lot about that tonight in his State 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.600 of the Union. You've got the Senate ready to vote 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.680 to acquit him Tomorrow, Big week, my friends, more coming 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.240 up in just a moment. This is the Buck Sexton 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.239 Show or the mission or mission is to decode what 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:46.519 really matters with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake American, You're a 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:51.560 great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins for analyst. 0:00:51.720 --> 0:01:02.360 Remember the no tonight, an improbable home became an undeniable reality. 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:07.280 We don't know all the results, but we know by 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.399 the time that's all said and done, Iowa, you have 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:17.679 shocked the nation because by all indications, we are going 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:23.199 on to New Hampshire victorious, victorious, six up. They don't 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.280 know if they won a victory. Insofar as no one 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:30.880 knows who is victorious. Welcome to the Buck Saxon Show. 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:32.640 If you are here joining us, you are victorious because 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.360 you have made the best choice possible for your audio 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:39.080 listening today. I'm gonna tell you this right now. I 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.640 was not somebody who was all excited about the Iowa cocues. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.200 I just wanted to know the result. I was not 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.800 somebody who was playing the game, staying up all night. 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.000 I wasn't live tweeting it. I didn't get too into 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.960 the details of this. To me, it always reminds me 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.520 a little bit of the political version of punk Sitani Phil. 0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.960 There's all these little rules that everyone gets so excited 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.440 about it, but what does it really all mean? You know, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:04.920 why don't we just have votes? I know there are 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.680 other states, by the way, that have caucuses, although fewer 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.960 and fewer now, there are a handful I think about 0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.040 a half dozen or so that have that have a 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.160 caucus system, and Nevada has a caucus system, so there 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.680 there are a few places that have this. But to me, 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.880 it makes just very little sense. I know, people don't 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.320 don't bust out the history lesson. I know that caucuses 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.799 have a long and storied history in this country. But 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.680 you know, now we have electricity and everyone has running 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.680 water and TVs and air conditioning, and I think we 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.160 could probably figure out a way to do this a 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.000 little bit more efficiently. I'm just I'm just saying, if 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.720 you want to know, the current way that it goes 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.160 is you have people. They show up. In Iowa, it 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:47.160 was to one of almost seventeen hundred precincts, So already 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.119 you got to look at this like, wow, that's that's 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.360 going to be a mess. Almost seventeen hundred precincts. And 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.040 people show up and they cast there, they stand in groups. 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.120 There's not that many of them because i was not 0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:59.919 that biggest state and there's not that many people taking 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.280 part in the Democrat primary. And then they go and 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.280 they stand on a different side of the room depending 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.040 on which candidate is their first choice. And then if 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.280 the candidate doesn't get fifteen percent, then they have the 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.240 option of moving to join another candidate, to walk to 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:18.280 actually physically moved to join that group. And they've made 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.720 some rule changes and I think now you can only 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.480 switch from your initial candidate if the candidate is less 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.720 than fifteen percent. And you know, there's all this stuff. 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.440 I mean, well, this is why the party activists are 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.800 so into this, because they have outside influence in the 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.600 whole process. But here's the long and the shorter of 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.400 the folks. It was a total mess. It was a 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.600 total mess. You a headline today, Iowa blows its caucus. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.960 I mean, it was a really bad scene because the 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:52.120 Democrat Party decided to know the DNC apparatus in the 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:56.520 state of Iowa, decided that they would use an app, 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:03.000 use an app that was untested in order to tabulate votes. 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.160 It was a pretty straightforward process. Why they used a 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.720 company that I believe is called shadow Ink, so as 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.800 if there weren't going to be enough conspiracy theories out 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.359 there about how this was really all meant by the 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:21.400 Democrat apparatus, the same Democrat apparatus that stole the primary 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.640 from Bernie Sanders in twenty sixteen. No question, they did 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.200 everything they could to make sure they handed it to 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:32.800 Queen Hillary hollow what happened. They gave it to Hillary, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.280 took it from Bernie Sanders this time around. You'd think 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.039 they'd be a little more sensitive to this. I don't 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:41.440 even know what happened here other than it's a mess. 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.279 Not only did they have an inability to use the 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.719 app properly, I guess the app crash right. They created 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.039 a smartphone application or computer application that's meant to tabulate 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.360 the results of all these different caucuses. It crashed, it froze, 0:04:53.440 --> 0:05:00.000 whatever happened. But the backup to it was a phone 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.840 in line, a hot line to relay results to the 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:12.120 central Iowa Caucus's command center. And sure enough, that was busy. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.760 People were unable to take the calls. And at one 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.200 point CNN I had to see this after the fact 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:22.440 the clip. CNN had a precinct captain or whatever you 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:27.760 call that, the caucus captain calling into the central hot 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.440 line and after waiting for an hour, just got hung 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.799 up on. That's a pretty good that's a pretty good 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.200 indication of how things went last night for the Democrats. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.200 And you have to remember, these are the people that democrats, 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.799 the Democrat intelligentsia, the people running the DNC, running Democratic Party. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.040 They are the people who want to be in control 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.640 of paying for your healthcare, deciding what healthcare you get, 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.640 what doctors you can go to, who you can see 0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.240 that they say they're going to handle all of this 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:02.560 and it's gonna be better and cheaper if they're in charge. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:09.600 The same people who brought you by a calculation by Bloomberg, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.720 which is I would assume a company that knows, even 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.560 though it's a media company, how to add and subtract 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.200 pretty well, right. Founded by a guy who's a businessman, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:22.160 Michael Bloomberg, who's running for president right now. Bloomberg did 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.520 an estimate of the Obamacare website. Initially we were told 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.479 it was about it was roughly eight hundred million dollars 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.880 of cost for a website. My friends turned out it 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.560 was really more like when you add in all the 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.120 contractors and all the bells and whistles and the graft 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.160 and the corruption and all the other nonsense around this. 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:40.599 I mean, they wouldn't call it that, but that's what 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.560 it was. It's more like two billion dollars. Trump has 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.320 said five billion. That might be a long term costs 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.640 estimate of the site, but at a minimum. Bloomberg has said, 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.599 the Obamacare website. Remember talking about a website, folks, We're 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:57.400 not talking about building, you know, massive facilities, and this 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.960 is just an online entity that's supposed to handle data. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.000 Two billion dollars of your money went to the Obamacare 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.800 website that, as we all remember, the day of the 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:11.680 enrollment crashed, wompomp. And now I'm sure we're going to 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.280 find out that the money spent on the Shadow Inc. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.760 I'm not making it up, folks. That is the development 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.920 company that decided to or that was picked to make 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.400 the app to tabulate the results in a state that 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:27.800 is critical for the establishment to deny to Bernie Sanders. Now, 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.360 I don't know. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I'm just 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.160 saying it looks bad, and to people who are conspiracy theorists, 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.240 it looks like, uh okay, trying to take some of 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.360 the wind out of Bernie Sanders sales at a minimum. 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.960 Who knows if they're really going to claim that there 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.880 was anything beyond that. We'll have to see. This was 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.200 a great version of this though headline this morning CBS 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:55.000 News Republicans gloat over Iowa caucus meltdown. First of all, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.040 notice how the word Democrat doesn't appear anywhere in that headline. 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.240 The Democrats held a caucus that is a disaster or 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.280 a debacle. No results last night, folks. I mean, this 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.920 is like an election where they're like, sorry, I don't 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.480 know what to tell you. I mean, they'll probably have 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.440 all the data to day and it'll all be fine. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.480 This isn't some major crisis, but they just look like 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.560 a bunch of dufases. I mean, they look like clowns. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.760 And remember the whole promise yere of the Democrats is 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:26.000 a return to a return to civility, or return to competency, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:31.360 or return to better governance. That's what they offer you 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.880 if you get rid of Trump. Forget about all the numbers, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.920 the prosperity, the stock market, unemployment, the economy. Forget all 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:43.280 of that better government from the Democrats, who in their 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.079 first moment to show, I mean, this is more than 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.840 just a caucus. It's the first time the whole country 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.880 has its eyes focused on a Democrat run election contest. 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:58.840 And it is a belly flop off the ten foot 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:04.320 high diving board with somebody who's got way too bad 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.560 of a sunburn on. I mean, it is rough, people know. 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.920 I like that analogy just because it's very visceral. We've 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.400 ever done a really bad belly flop when you have 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.439 a sunburn? That's no fun. Brucer Mark ever been there before? Yes, 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.199 he's nodding. Yes, you don't want to do that. It's 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.560 a lesson you really have to learn once. But the 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.880 Democrats messed up last night. The media, of course, is 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:28.280 doing the whole Republicans pounce. Republicans pounce, Well, what are 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.800 we supposed to do? We're actually not pouncing. We're laughing. 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.000 It's a different thing. We're laughing at them. We're not 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.319 really pouncing so much. That's that's too active. I'm sitting back, 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:43.760 rubbing my belly and guffawing at the clownish Democrats. So 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.160 they're trying to say, we're gloating, we're doing all these things. 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.280 And I can't help but notice that the political party 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.559 that dominates Silicon Valley and the faculty lounge of colleges 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.240 and universities seems to have a lot of trouble with 0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:00.280 a smartphone app and basic arithmetic. You I think this 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.200 should be in their wheelhouse, right, This should be something 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:06.640 that they have greater ability to do. But sure enough 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.440 they do not. And now you have the different campaigns 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.600 all trying to spin that just sort of take this 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.439 and say, well, we won't sure because we don't know. 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.800 One let's just feel like our result is basically a win, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.640 even though we don't have the results. It's a very 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.079 Democrat moment, you know, it's a very Democrat approach to this. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.520 It's like everybody gets a trophy for first place. But 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.480 if everybody gets a trophy for first place, does that 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.280 mean anybody gets a trophy for first place? And Pete 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.320 Buddha Judge tweeted out, we started the show with him 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.000 just because you know he he needed this. If he 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.800 can't win an Iowa, he can't win anywhere Iowa. You 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.000 have shocked the nation. He tweeted out, by all indications, 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.559 we are going to New Hampshire victorious hashtag Iowa CAUCUSUS. 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.079 And then to that, I just would respond that declaring 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:58.840 victory before any results are in is really very on 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.160 brand for a ACRAT party that claims the twenty sixteen 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:06.120 election was stolen without a single vote being changed, and 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:10.240 the twenty election is illegitimate before a single vote has 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.840 been cast. The results are never the results if they 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.360 don't like them. That is the Democrat approach. They pretend 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.839 there's something else. Reality does not matter. The truth cannot 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:24.800 intrude on the narrative. So I suppose we should not 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.320 be surprised at all that what we saw was this 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.800 last night, this nonsense. But I would just say this 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.480 to you, America. Many of us thought that we go 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.680 to bed last night after seeing the troubling news that 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:42.600 a socialist had just won a statewide contest in Iowa. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.119 But instead we woke up to a reminder the Democratic 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:49.000 Party specializes in screwing things up and wasting your money. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.760 Hashtag winning hashtag America still has a shot because we 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.199 could see who these Democrats really are. It was fantastic. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.800 You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:12.080 Show podcast. They changed the rules and streamlined the process 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.199 because of what happened the last time too, Bernie Sanders. 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.439 So if anybody wanted to come out on top, you know, 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.320 if he finished at the top here tonight, that's one 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.880 more day of being on top. That's one more day 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.280 of momentum, It's one more day of raising money and attention. 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.959 And he has been denied that by this process. Some 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:34.000 people are noticing that, you know, Bernie Sanders, that was 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.439 Bro Cuomo. First of all, he's like, do you even lift, Bro? 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.720 And then second of all, he wants to make sure 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:43.680 everyone knows that Bernie Sanders is not exactly getting a 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.679 fair getting a fair shaken all this this was this 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.280 was Bernie's moment. I mean New Hampshire, He's New Hampshire 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:50.679 is going to be where he does the best. And 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:54.000 also the narrative has gone very quickly away from Joe Biden, 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.320 who in some places and again we don't know, I mean, 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.200 I'm on air, and we'll probably know more later. But 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:04.240 in some places it was expected that he dramatically underperformed 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.360 what was expected for a so called front runner. Hey 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.360 what have I been saying? Team? I've been telling you 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.240 for how long? Now? It's not gonna be Biden. It's 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.760 not gonna be Biden's a loser. They know it. Biden's 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.800 a loser. It's not gonna happen. The part the party 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:21.360 apparatus is hoping that all of a sudden that will change. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.840 That's why they keep that Biden is going to become 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:29.080 what they want him to be. But everyone kind of knows, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.400 I mean, and for some reason I'm wrong, and Biden 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.360 does run. I feel very confident that he will do 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.400 no better than Hillary Clinton did in twenty sixteen, which 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.200 means he will lose. But then again, the great part 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.120 about political predictions is you only talk about the ones 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:48.640 you get, right, So Cuomo says, Bernie Sanders have been 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.319 denied a victory, and I with another just noteworthy moment 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:58.520 here came from Elizabeth Warren. This is you know, she 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.520 shout out there now trying to tell everybody to get 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.960 excited about how you know she's just gonna be the 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.760 president that you've always hoped for, one who just makes 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:16.560 it up as she goes along. She's by the way, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.439 I mean, she's really in line with Bernie. But you 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:23.840 have to break out a very fine magnifying glass in 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.960 order to see the differences in policy between Warren and Sanders. 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.400 I mean, they're they're quite close. We think that gets 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.960 lost the media narrative. But this was a line that 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.920 I thought was very interesting from Warren last night. Remember, 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.000 they don't have results, they don't know who won the caucus. 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.800 Here's what Warren is saying, play a priest of Mark fourteen. Please, 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:48.120 what's a night is for every undocumented, unafraid organizer and 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:56.640 volunteer proudly knocked on doors to let the world know 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:04.080 that the path to progress run through courage, not fear. Now, 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.680 I'm just gonna say this because i'd like to know 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.760 what the response is. We have been told now for 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:14.240 years that it is a violation of the Emolument's clause 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:19.520 because of foreign foreign money going to Trump via diplomats 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:22.040 in DC buying Hamburgers at the Trump hotel. That's a 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.360 real thing. The Washington Post, I mean, the most serious, 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.160 so called serious news organizations in the country will run this. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.080 We have been told countless times about foreign interference in 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:35.280 the election, in this case of Ukraine, just even talking 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:38.400 to a Ukrainian counterpart about something when nothing happens. They 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.920 wanted to say that was a campaign donation, a campaign 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.200 donation to Trump an a legal one was with the 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.920 initial claim of the impeachment lunatics, and then of course 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.320 Russia Trump putin collusion, which is a fantasy, but a 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.880 massive false conspiracy that they've been spreading. I need someone 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.360 to approach me and sit down, who's who's not aftwing 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:05.840 loon and explain how it is not foreign interference and 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:10.240 perhaps even an in kind donation or assistance to an 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:17.440 assistance to a specific campaign for undocumented aka illegal aliens. 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.640 Undocumented is a made up term that does not appear 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.200 in the legal code anywhere. Illegal aliens people not of 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.000 legal status in the United States, to assist a campaign, 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.400 how is that not foreign interference in the election. They 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.720 all come for foreign countries, folks, I know this is 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.760 they're all subject to a jurisdiction not of our own, 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.960 unless unless we're going to claim that everybody who's actually no, 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.680 that's right, they would all be subject to the foreign 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.760 jurisdiction thereof, or at least unless I'm missing some loophole here, 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.360 How is it not the case that foreigners which I 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:52.840 mean if you're an illegal alien, People would say, oh, 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:54.800 even what about people that are brought here? You know, 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.960 the dreamers. Dreamers are born somewhere else. They have citizenship 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.040 in some other country, or at least they should. They 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.880 certainly have a claim to it. So if you were 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:05.800 a foreigner on US soil and you were going door 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.560 to door to knock knock on doors for Elizabeth Warren's campaign, 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.800 how is that not foreign interference in the election? So 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.000 you know, you're allowed to assist to the campaigner. I 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.360 mean I have to get into the election law specifics here. 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.920 You're allowed to help, You're allowed to donate your time, 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.560 which is a you know, remember a thing of value. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.640 That was what we're always told a thing of value. 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.240 Information can be a thing of value. Remember the Trump 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.920 Tower meeting a thing of value? Sitting down with Donald 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:32.879 Trump junior just saying, hey, I want to tell you 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.040 about something Hillary Clinton did. Oh that's and she's Russian. 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:40.080 You can't have that. So you can't have somebody sit 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.679 down and have a conversation with somebody who's foreign, but 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.560 you can't have foreigners going door to door doing work 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.120 that other people would get paid for to help your campaign. 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.800 Does anyone want to take take take a knock at 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.520 this one? How is it not foreign interference in our 0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:59.680 election for a legal aliens to be directly assisting that 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.800 can pain by her own admission of Elizabeth Warren and 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.400 I'm sure other Democrats too. Someone to explain that to me. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.000 Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts. Remember 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:13.840 to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.160 you get your podcasts. I spent a lot of time 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.560 in Iowa campaigning for Paul Simon, Barack Obama, and others 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.439 Hilary Clinton over the years. They're wonderful people, and the 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.760 Democrats there are a great bunch of supporters of our 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:30.280 party events values. Having said that, I think the Democratic 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.520 cox in Iowa is a quirky, quaint tradition which should 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:38.280 come to an end. Wait a second, Hold on a minute. 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.960 I thought Democrats were all about process. I thought Democrats 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:45.719 gave us speeches all the time, whether we want them 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.480 or not, about the sanctity of our elections, the need 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:53.800 to do the need to respect all the different rules 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.840 and processes that we have in place. And they talk 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:58.880 about this so much. I mean, think about Nancy Pelosi's 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:01.800 Nancy Pelosi's speech is recently about how much she loves 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.800 the founders or the constitutionated. You know, the guys who 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.080 are on the guys who are on our money. They're great, 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.520 all of them. You know, you have to look at 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.199 this and say, hold on a minute. Here we have 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:17.280 another time when the Democrats don't like a result and 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.920 they're willing to throw the process out. This is true 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:21.840 of the Supreme Court. Oh let's just stack it with 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.320 more people if we don't get our way. It's true 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.159 of the primary process. It's true of the general election 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.560 process with the electoral college. Trump wins, let's get rid 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:34.199 of the electoral college. Trump doesn't get removed by a 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.800 two thirds majority of the US Senate, which will happen 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.720 hopefully tomorrow. But assuming that that's the way it goes, 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.200 they're gonna say why do we even have senators? Why 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.520 do we even have this federalist system? Now, it will 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.400 be one thing if they had been saying that all along, 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.200 if they really believe that they know better than the founders, 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.360 which we know libs do. I mean, leftists always think 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.359 they know better. They ignore history and then pretend that 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.159 somehow history is on their side and tell us that 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:02.719 they know what should be done with everything. But when 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:04.399 they tell us in this case that they want to 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.639 get rid of either it's the two thirds majority, you know, 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.760 they want a constitutional amendment. They'll never get that, so 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:11.400 they probably won't want that, but they're just gonna complain. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:14.399 They're gonna whine. They're gonna say that it's it's wrong 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:19.720 that that two senators come from a state like New Hampshire, 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.080 a state like Vermont, although maybe not because Bernie Sanders 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:24.879 is from there, so they got to protect that, but 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.520 that these smaller states with smaller populations have the same 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.400 representation in the Senate as states like California and New 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:35.560 York and Texas and you know, big states, and they 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:37.679 act like they've never had a basic civics lesson and 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:41.199 they don't have an understanding of the ideas that the 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.000 Founders wrestled with and why they came up with the 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.200 system that they do. And I've got to tell you 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:49.359 not giving enough credit right now to the Founders. They 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.600 came up with something. I mean, forgot about what the 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:53.800 Democrats say, because that's all just lip service. They know 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.240 nothing about it. They don't care about the Founding. Nancy 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.800 Pelosi is an ignoramus about us history. Forget all that, right, 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:05.639 But the Founders managed to have a system in place that, 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:10.800 even with the Democrats completely losing their minds in our 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:14.040 current era over Trump and willing to do anything to 0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.800 lie about the President, to put them through a special 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.239 counsel investigation, which who knows what the Founders would have 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:21.040 even thought of that, right, you know, you look at 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:23.200 some of these things, you say, look what the president's 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:27.440 already been through. But they were smart enough, smart enough 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.600 to make sure that if you're going to remove a president, 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.560 if you're going to undo the will of the American 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:35.520 people as expressed through a national election, you better be 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:40.159 darn shore. And darn shore means sure a majority, a 0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:43.520 majority in the House of Representatives, but also two thirds 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:49.639 of the Senate, a lot of wisdom, a lot of 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:53.159 wisdom that continues to the current day. They recognized that 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:57.080 the passions of short term partisanship could reach it reach 0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:00.719 their current level. Obviously we would through a civil war 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:02.359 in the middle of the nineteenth century. I mean, there 0:22:02.359 --> 0:22:06.600 have been times when partisan passions have overridden the system 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:11.680 even I mean, nothing is perfect, nothing is impervious. But today, 0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:14.200 or I should say really tomorrow, this week, we will 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.640 be reminded very much of the genius of the founding, 0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:21.000 the understanding that if you're going to have a system 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.960 of parties that are in opposition to each other when 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.520 it comes to things like this, when it comes to 0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:30.160 the really, really big stuff, you want to make sure 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:36.520 that this isn't just petty, spiteful partisan nonsense. And we 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.240 have that because the founders were smarter than Schumer and 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.760 Pelosi and Chief and yes, even a whole lot of 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:45.000 Republicans today. I mean, there was a genius, in a 0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:47.920 genius in what they did. But the willingness to throw 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:49.800 out the system the moment that it no longer suits 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:52.159 their needs. I mean, this has become really a calling 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:56.440 card for Democrats. This has become something that they're completely 0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:59.440
