1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Seven hours of Democrat

2
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: insanity on display. They had their town hall on climate change.

3
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: It was the wackiest thing I've seen in TV in

4
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: a long time. We'll break down different aspects of it

5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: and tell you everything you need to know. Coming up

6
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: on the Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sexton Mission, decoding the

7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, America,

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show.

9
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Former CIA analysts, Remember I can speak for three hours

10
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: without a phone call. Try doing that sometime. It is Sexton.

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: No whife on Earth is at risk. Climate change the

12
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: single greatest concern for war. We are fighting for the

13
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: survival of the planet Earth. It is a monumental crisis.

14
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: It's about an existential threat to who we are as

15
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: human beings. The UN has told us that we have

16
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: about twelve years to get this right, for the consequences

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: could be catastrophic. It is the issue the lens through

18
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: which we must do everything that we do. It is

19
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: an everyday mission. We can lead the world on the

20
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: greatest challenge that we've ever had. I would end all

21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: fossil fuel subsidies and I'm gonna take it a step further.

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: I propose a constitutional amendment that makes it the responsibility

23
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: in United States government to safeguard and protect our environment

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: for future generations. This is on par with winning World

25
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: War Two, perhaps even more challenging than that. Welcome to

26
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: the book Sex and Show. Wow, folks, Wow. I rarely

27
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm a radio host that ever really had a loss

28
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: for words? Hopefully not. But does it get any crazier

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: than what those Democrats were saying last night? Can you

30
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: think of anything that is too extreme or exaggerated for

31
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: them to say about the threat of climate change? What

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: could be a bigger threat than existential in the end

33
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: of existence, the end of humanity, the end perhaps of

34
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: a habitable planet. This is not an exaggeration. They say

35
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: this repeatedly, explicitly, and they say it with a certainty

36
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: that should be terrifying to everybody, because who the heck

37
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: are all these people that think that they understand what

38
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: the world's gonna be like in fifty years. I don't

39
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: know the world's gonna be like in five years. I

40
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: was overwhelmed. Now I did not watch all seven hours.

41
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if any human being in America watched

42
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: all seven hours. I doubt it, but I did watch

43
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: as much of it as I could stomach a lot

44
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: of the clips of it. And this is where the

45
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is right now. This is what they're really

46
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: all about. This is what they believe. They think that

47
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: we are in an existential battle for the future of

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: the human race. They don't act like it as individuals,

49
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: but they want the control as a government body. They

50
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: want the control from up above to tell us all

51
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: how to live our lives, what we can do, how

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: the economy should function. This is where the Democratic Party

53
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: has gone to an extreme that should be worrying through

54
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: all of us. I mean, I go back and forth.

55
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm not always sure if we should laugh or cry

56
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: about this. That this is a position that is supposed

57
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: to be held by the intelligent, by the well educated,

58
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: by the well meaning. That climate change means we only

59
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: have ten years to make massive changes to our lives

60
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: in this country that would make us much poorer, that

61
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: would all kinds of technological growth and prosperity that have

62
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: real consequences, good and bad in people's lives. They're willing

63
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: to do all of this. Here's what I'm going to

64
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: tell you this. Unfortunately, this hysteria is not really new.

65
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: It is cyclical. There was a book that was written

66
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: back I think it was a nineteen sixty eight The

67
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: Population Bomb, by doctor Paul Erlic. I'll just read to

68
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: you a little bit from the prologue of this. This

69
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: book sold millions of copies and had a very real

70
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: impact on the scientific community around the world. Some even

71
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: say it led to some of the horrific population control

72
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: policies that many countries around the world implemented, most well

73
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: known as China's one child policy, but there are other

74
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: countries too, with forced sterilization. These bad ideas that democrats

75
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: are trotting out last night, keep in mind, if they could,

76
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: they would, they're serious about this stuff. Well, here's what

77
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: doctor hashtag science Erlic was writing back in the late

78
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties, and then in the nineteen seventies this became

79
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: a phenomenon. Quote, the battle to feed all of humanity

80
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: is over. In the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties, hundreds

81
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: of millions of people will starve to death in spite

82
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: of any crash programs embarked upon. Now, at this late date,

83
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate,

84
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: although many lives could be saved through dramatic programs to

85
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: stretch the caring capacity of the earth by increasing food

86
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 1: production and providing for more equitable distribution of whatever food

87
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: is available, But these programs will only provide a stay

88
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: of execution unless they are a companied by determined and

89
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: successful efforts at population control. Population control is the conscious

90
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: regulation of the numbers of human beings to meet the needs,

91
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 1: not just of individual families, but of society as a whole.

92
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: End quote. Now, I don't have to tell you this

93
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: guy wasn't a little bit wrong. He was totally wrong,

94
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: as wrong as wrong gets. Not only do we not

95
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: have mass die off of hundreds of millions of people,

96
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: population growth has exploded globally, and our biggest health crisis

97
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: in the developed world in particular is overeating is too

98
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: many calories. We have more people than ever before, we

99
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: have more food than ever before. So he couldn't have

100
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: been more wrong. He was wrong in a way that

101
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: would be hard to replicate. And you may be saying, well, Buck,

102
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: but that's population control. How does that? Well? Of course,

103
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: there's the the scientific movement here. Zierra Club involved in

104
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: the publication of this, a lot of scientists saying, you know,

105
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: we're and oh, some of you are probably saying, wait, buck,

106
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: what about what about Mauthis? Back in the nineteenth century.

107
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: Didn't Mauthis have a similar thesis, the Malthusian thesis, that

108
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: we would population would reach a point where we could

109
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: not feed it anymore, and then there'd have to be

110
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: massive reduction over time in population because we can't feed

111
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: all the people, and there might be if there's famines

112
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: and things, mass die off that occurs as well, because

113
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: our food supply will be so precarious and overstretched. Oh

114
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: that's right. John Thomas Mouthis he thought that too. He

115
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: was a really smart guy hashtag science. People thought he

116
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: was right. Yeah. There are many, many times more people

117
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: globally in the world now than there were when Mouthis

118
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: was writing that. What does it have to do with

119
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: population control? Oh? I don't know. Maybe because last night

120
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, when he was asked about how we have

121
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: to fight climate change, explicitly said, yeah, you know, we

122
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: should probably have abortions in third world countries so there

123
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: are less people. This is what he's saying. We should

124
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: have abortions in third world we need more population control

125
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: to help fight with climate to help fight climate change,

126
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: So that means America needs to start pushing and funding

127
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: abortions all over the world. Let's kill more babies to

128
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: stop climate change. I'm not making this up, folks, this

129
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: is what he said. Human population growth has more than

130
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: doubled in the past fifty years. The planet cannot sustain

131
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: this growth. I realize this is a poisonous topic for politicians,

132
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: but it's crucial to face. Empowering women and educating everyone

133
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable

134
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss

135
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: this issue and make it a key feature of a

136
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: plan to address climate catastrophe Monthly d answers Yes. I think,

137
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: especially in poor countries around the world, where women do

138
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily want to have large numbers of babies, and

139
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: where they can have the opportunity through birth control to

140
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: control the number of kids, they have something. I very

141
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: very strongly support population control, folks, and weren't want to

142
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: get into more specifics about abortion, but population control, that's

143
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: what they're advocating. They were advocating population control fifty years ago.

144
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Then it was because we were going to run out

145
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: of food. They said, this is the scientists or we're

146
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: going to run out of food now. And you might say, buck,

147
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: that wasn't all scientists, Yeah, but the people that study

148
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: food and population growth. This became the fad. This became

149
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: what if you were in this area, just like with climatologists.

150
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: Now you want to have the loneliest, loneliest professional life

151
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: in the world. Be a climatologist who says, you know,

152
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: we really can't predict the future. We don't know, and

153
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: we shouldn't make We shouldn't take drastic measures that we

154
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: know will absolutely have a major cost associated with them

155
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: based on what is at best and educated guests about

156
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: what the future of climate will be. You want to

157
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: be that guy. You're gonna have no friends, no grant money,

158
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: probably get death threats. This end of times based on

159
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: science ideology is not new. We've been through this before.

160
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: These people are wrong, they're wrong. They can't tell what

161
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: the future of the world will be. They can't tell

162
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: you what science is going to be able to do.

163
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: And yet they want us to make decisions right now

164
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: that would be horrifically counterproductive and that would have very

165
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: real costs that that fad of population control as necessary

166
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: to save us for mass starvation in the seventies that

167
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: led into forced sterilization in India, China's one child policy.

168
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: You know, you can trace this thinking all the way,

169
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: all the way back to the origins of the eugenics movement,

170
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: that we have to control the population. Eugenics was coined

171
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: by Francis Galton back in eighteen eighty three with inquiries

172
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: into human faculty and its development. Galton took the term

173
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: as deriving from the Greek eugenes, namely good in stock

174
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: hereditarily endowed with noble qualities. The original eugenicists were all

175
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: about population control, and they thought they were doing a

176
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: good thing. Oh, we're just going to have only the

177
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: healthiest and the best people. We need to control the undesirables.

178
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: This led to some of the most twisted and horrific

179
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: government government instituted. Mind you, eugenics is not something that

180
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: people do in their spare time on the weekends. It's

181
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: governments that do this, governments that seize control and force sterilization,

182
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: governments by law, including our own folks. But it was

183
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: for our good, you see, That's what they told us.

184
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Going after people who had mental health issues, who were

185
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: born with different disabilities or infirmities. In other parts around

186
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: the world, it was people who are from the wrong group,

187
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: whatever that may be, from some out group within the society. Yeah,

188
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: they should be sterilized. Maybe there should be forced abortions too,

189
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: depends on which country we're talking about. If they really believe,

190
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: if the left really believes what they are telling us

191
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: and what they are selling us right now, and that

192
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: is that we face an existential crisis. We must turn

193
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: around the coo to curve or else we're all gonna die.

194
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: Why would we think that it's too much for them

195
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: to advocate for population control. Why would we think that

196
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: it's in any way a surprise that they would want

197
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: to get rid of the Mexico City policy that says

198
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: that we can't support used tax para dollars to support abortions.

199
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Broad of course they're going to want to get rid

200
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: of all of that if they really believe what they're saying.

201
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 1: This was lunacy on display last night, and it's something

202
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: that we all should remember as we think about who

203
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: we really want in charge in this country. President Trump

204
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: is not perfect. I've never said he is. You know

205
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: he's not. And we have to do our part as

206
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: supporters of the president, those of you who are listening,

207
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: who are, and I know not all of you are,

208
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: but a supporter is to guide him toward the best

209
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: policy decisions possible, to govern as well as he can

210
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: while protecting fundamental individual freedoms and constitutional rights. The other side,

211
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: forget about not being perfect. The other side or a

212
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: bunch of status petty totalitarians, and there's nothing that they

213
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: think is outside the bounds of what they're allowed to do,

214
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: if only they come up with a creative narrative to

215
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: justify it. You do not want those people in charge.

216
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: Just look at the history of what happens when they

217
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: acquire that much power in any country anywhere in the world.

218
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. What you described is the most

219
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: existential threat to our country's future, and the UN has

220
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: told us that we have about twelve years to get

221
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: this right or the consequences could be catastrophic. The most

222
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: existential threat this country faces, I can tell you know

223
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: what is an existential threat to this country open borders.

224
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the dissolution of the polity, the sense that

225
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: this is no longer a community of citizens and Americans,

226
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: that this is just a place where anyone can come

227
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: and go as they please, without any loyalty, without any

228
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: respect for sovereignty and the rule of law that this

229
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: entity has. What is americanness if anyone just shows up

230
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: whenever they want to these whenever they want to That's one.

231
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: Another one was the Fiat currency we have, which, as

232
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: I've told you, and I'm somebody who likes history, all

233
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: of the Fiat currencies of the past have all gone

234
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: to zero. You know, we're now at I remember we

235
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: were not even a twenty trillion dollars in dead and

236
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: people were very concerned. I remember the Tea Party movement

237
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: very well. It's when I got into media. And sure enough,

238
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: now we're at a twenty three heading to twenty four.

239
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: I think gonna be a thirty before long, folks. That's

240
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a problem. So there are real

241
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: possible and look, I'm an optimist, and maybe that's probably

242
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: it's probably not good for radio. I should be here

243
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: like we're all gonna die and everything is terrible, and

244
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: oh the commies are gonna like can overthrow the government

245
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: any day down all that kind of stuff. Some people

246
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: do that. I don't like to do that. I respect

247
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: and admire this audience too much to just try to

248
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: hit hit fear centers in people. Whenever, Oh, look at this,

249
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: this is so bad, it's so crazy. The Democratic Party, though,

250
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: has gone socialist, and that is very concerning. That's real.

251
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: It is now a socialist party. They won't call themselves

252
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: that because they understand the connotations and enough people still

253
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: have some connection to history, some understanding of history that

254
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: just to openly say that the democratic parties of socialist

255
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: parties problematic for them. But the mentality that you see

256
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: of mobilizing us behind this climate change idea, there's a

257
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: reason that they use martial rhetoric. There's a reason that

258
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: this is being set up as the the moral and

259
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: political equivalent of war, and that is because Democrats, stretching

260
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: back to clearly Woodrow, Wilson and FDR, think that that's

261
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: the best way, the best way to be able to

262
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: control people and get them to do what you want

263
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: and mobilize the collective. In fact, you could even look

264
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: back at the French Revolution, that was the idea, the

265
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: mobilization of the people, an army of the people. Is

266
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: this is right at the center of Marxist and socialist

267
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: rhetoric that the collective needs to act as one in

268
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: the furtherance of the revolution. In this case, the collective

269
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: will be acting as one against climate change. But because

270
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: climate change is all encompassing, it means that the will

271
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: of the people, as determined by the Green new deegal cadre,

272
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: whoever that may be in any given time, will decipher

273
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: for all of us what needs to be done in

274
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: every aspect of our lives. Because this is a war.

275
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: You can't sit out the war on climate change. You see,

276
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: there's no conscientious objectors. There's no one on the sidelines.

277
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to opt out. You're not allowed to

278
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: choose to not participate. You will be made to. This

279
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 1: is why they like it, this is why they use

280
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: the rhetoric they do, And people like Beto O'Rourke say

281
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: things like this. My son, Henry, who's eight years old,

282
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: when I was talking to him the other night, he

283
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: asked me, Dad, if you win and you become president,

284
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: we get to live in El Pasto, right, And I

285
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: said no, if we win the way this works, we

286
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: would live in Washington, d C. But he knew because

287
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: I had told him about the warming that we face,

288
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: that our community will be uninhabitable, not sustain human life

289
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: along this current trajectory unless something dramatically and fundamentally changes.

290
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: And that's like a form of child abuse to lie

291
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: to your kid that way. But maybe he's just lying

292
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: about the kids saying that that's more likely. So what's

293
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: the most outrageous thing if we're going to talk about

294
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: the martial rhetoric of libs when it comes to climate change,

295
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: what is the thing that they could say that there's

296
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: got to be a party of There's like, they're not

297
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: really gonna They're not really gonna do that, right, They're

298
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: not really gonna make that comparison, are they. They've already

299
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: said that it's an existential crisis, that it's the biggest

300
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: threat we face. You will hear people who think of

301
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: themselves as intelligent and well informed say that it's the

302
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: biggest national security threat we face. The biggest national security

303
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: threat we face is climate change. So in that vein

304
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: I said before, they like they like the martial rhetoric

305
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: of you know, this is a fight we all have

306
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: to be in and we need to mobilize, And what

307
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: are they going to say it's like, Oh, that's right,

308
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, it's like fighting the Nazis in the

309
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: Second World War. I'm asking Americans to make this our priority.

310
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I love the framing of the

311
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: Green New Deal is it uses some of the language

312
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: that we might associate with the way that we met

313
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: the response of Nazi Germany in World War Two, all

314
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: of this country coming together with a singular focus of

315
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: making sure that we overcome what was at that time

316
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: an existential threat to this country and to our democracy.

317
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: Mass mobilization, folks. He's even saying that we like to

318
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: use these words. We like to make it sound like

319
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: that's what's going on here, mass mobilization. Interesting, isn't it.

320
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: Oh he's not that, you might say, Oh, bet Joe,

321
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: he's a clown. That is not the only one who

322
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: brought up the World War two fighting analogy last night

323
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: at this climate change debacle. We have to actually unify

324
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: the country around this project, and that means bringing people

325
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: to the table who haven't felt that they've been part

326
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: of the process. I mean, this is the hardest thing

327
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: we will have done, certainly in my lifetime as a country.

328
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: This is on par with winning World War two perhaps

329
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: even more challenging than that. Does anybody really think we're

330
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: going to meet that goal? If between now and twenty

331
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: fifty we are still at each other's throats, it's not

332
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: going to happen. We've got to figure out a way

333
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: to rally, and that means everybody, from cities to farms,

334
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: to the federal government to the international community. Might be

335
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: harder than World War Two. I mean, you do have

336
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: to SubTime just say, wow, these people really there's a

337
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: better A Rourke and mayor Pete Mayor Pete's you know,

338
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 1: he's a veteran, a Rhodes scholar, And how could someone

339
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: who is theoretically so well read and are you died

340
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: Theoretically at least Rhodes scholars are not nearly as impressive

341
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: as people like to pretend they are. But that's a

342
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: whole other conversation. How can they say things like this

343
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: and expect anyone to take them seriously afterwards? Sixty million

344
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 1: people died in World War two. Climate change is what exactly.

345
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: There's going to be some melting glaciers that will make

346
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: the sea levels rise, will be okay, it's not even

347
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: going to happen. The way they say it's going to happen,

348
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe in ten years there'll be some

349
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: way that we can just clean all the co two

350
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: out of the atmosphere. They don't know. Father that wouldn't

351
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: be a good thing because then all the plants would die.

352
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying, Maybe there's something that

353
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: is going to happen then we don't even know about.

354
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: They don't know. But this is the central fallacy of

355
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: the central planner. They don't know what they don't know,

356
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: and they refuse to accept. But there are things that

357
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: they can't know, and yet they want to take dramatic

358
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: They want to force us. It's they're not asking. This

359
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: is why they're using the rhetoric about immobilization and work.

360
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: They want to force us to listen to them, to

361
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: bend the need to do what they tell us to do.

362
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: It'll make us poorer. And there's no upside here, you know.

363
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: At least the upside of socializing healthcare is theoretically some

364
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: people will get healthcare, although eventually it'll just collapse and

365
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: then nobody's getting the healthcare they should. But theoretically some

366
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: people will get healthcare that wouldn't so so it's a

367
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: bad idea, but there's some offset of good that will

368
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: come from the bad idea, at least with climate change.

369
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: This is the worst of ideas in many ways because

370
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: it's only downside, because the upside that they think exists

371
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: does not exist. There is nothing about reduction of CO

372
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: two via government fiad I keep saying, this is already

373
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: happening as a natural technological process. We are decarbonizing. It's

374
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: easy to figure out. It's anyone knows this that spends

375
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: two seconds thinking about it. But for the government to

376
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: do this great leap forward into a carbon free future

377
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: is utterly insane. But they don't. They refuse to accept

378
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: that they don't know. They don't know what they don't know.

379
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: And here we are, the central planners telling us how

380
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: we should live our lives. And it's not even like

381
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: there's something that we get from it that would make

382
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: that would be worth anything. This is utter worthlessness, massive

383
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: destruction of wealth and freedom and technological advancement and so

384
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: much that has made human beings healthier and wealthier and

385
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: better off. They want to push against all of that,

386
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: just like you know, mouthis didn't like that people were

387
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: having so many kids and all of a sudden, these

388
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 1: industrialized societies could support much larger populations in cities, and oh,

389
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: can't have that. Paul Aerlic, you know, oh, we can't

390
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: have all these people. And he would, by the way,

391
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: was very down on all the people. Airlick was down

392
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: on all the people in the Third world, specifically they're

393
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: having too many kids. But scientists try to sweep some

394
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: of that under the rug. Now we'll be right back.

395
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: Do you ban plastic straws? I think we should. Yes.

396
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: So would you ban offshore drilling? Yes? We have to

397
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: take to take combustion engine vehicles off the road as

398
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: rapidly as we can. Let's talk about off shords drilling

399
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: for would you ban it? Yes? Would you ban offshore

400
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: drilling absolutely? Yes. We will transition off of fossil fuels

401
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: natural gas, coal oil. What about the export of fossil

402
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: fuels from the United States? Did you ban that? Absolutely?

403
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: We must get to that point. There's no question I'm

404
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: in favor of banning cracking. I'm in favor of a

405
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: carbon free America. In my administration, we're not going to

406
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: build any new nuclear power plants. We set out the

407
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: rules for what kind of plant you know, coal burning plants.

408
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: No one's gonna build another coal burning We gotta shut

409
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: the ones down we have. We're gonna end factory farming

410
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: because that is not only that is a danger to

411
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: the environment and to climate change. You know, there will

412
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: be a transition. There will be a transition, and there

413
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: will be some pain left. Yeah, but motive, but pain.

414
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen all those chickens, one chicken after another,

415
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: role on top of each other. It's all crowded, you know,

416
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: the little chickens. They're going cluck cluck, and it's like

417
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: was taking care of those chickens? They're all in there.

418
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: Are they getting enough exercise? Has anyone taking them out

419
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: for a little walk? Do they have little leashes for

420
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: the chickens? I don't think so. Bernie raises some very

421
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: interesting points. I'll tell you this. There was a common

422
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: theme in this seven hour long climate change lunatic asylum.

423
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: That's the un ended last night, I should say really

424
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: last after late afternoon slash into the night, and the

425
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: theme is they just want to ban things. They want

426
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: to stop things. They want to tell you what to do,

427
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: and control is a major component of the leftist mindset.

428
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: But banning you can't have this ban this, not allowed

429
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: to do this. This is where we see there is

430
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,959
Speaker 1: a real debate, a real argument going on in this

431
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: country about freedom. This is about personal, individual, corporate, business,

432
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: commercial freedom. That's what's at stake here. Because if they

433
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: can get this stuff through, they'll tell you that there's

434
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: no end to what they think they're allowed to dictate

435
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: for you. They want to ban I just can't even

436
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: think of anything right now, any consumer product they'll be

437
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: able to put their foot on, put their foot on

438
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: the pedal and tell you yes or no anytime. Oh

439
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 1: and also they find a way to tie climate change

440
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: into things that just no reasonable person thinks that anything

441
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: to do with climate change, Okay, this is just nuts.

442
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: Betto for example, still I'm at like zero percent in

443
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: the polls, but like I'm gonna drop another f bomb

444
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: on TV and then everybody will want to watch me.

445
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: Beto says, for example, that the not only is climate

446
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: change causing the refugee crisis, but because we are the

447
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: prime driver of climate change. This is this logic goes,

448
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: we are responsible for creating the conditions that forced the

449
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: refugees to come to this country or go We have

450
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: an obligation to take anybody who shows up. We have

451
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: an obligation to bring them into this country and pay

452
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: for their stuff. And it doesn't matter what the American

453
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: people want. We owe it to people and countries that

454
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: are going through droughts, for example. This is our opportunity.

455
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: That is the threat that we face, and so we

456
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: must be an international leader on these issues. In Brazil,

457
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: in Guatemala, where we've helped to precipitate a drought that

458
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: they have never seen before, which has forced families to

459
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: travel two thousand miles to come to this country seeking

460
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: asylum and refuge and salvation, only to have their children

461
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: placed in kids and their parents supported back. We have

462
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: to understand that we are all connected on this planet.

463
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: We all have a responsibility, and the United States, especially

464
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 1: the indispensable country, has the opportunity to lead better. Doesn't

465
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: know anything about history. I really start to think he

466
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: doesn't know anything about anything. I don't know what this

467
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: guy's wheelhouse is other than just sanctimonious crap, just saying

468
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: things that he thinks sound good to people who also

469
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: don't know anything. The history of humanity is just a

470
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: series of movements and migrations over time, drought, famine. I mean,

471
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: has this guy ever read the Bible? As you read

472
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: a history book, people move around all the time, often

473
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: because they're looking for something better, because where they are

474
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: is having problems. This is not new, folks at all.

475
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: What is new is this pseudoscience of well, they're moving

476
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: because it's our fault. By the way, why isn't it

477
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: Why isn't it China's fault? Why shouldn't China take in

478
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: all the Guatemalan and Brazilian refugees as he's referencing here,

479
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: Why why shouldn't India take them in? Because we're wealthier.

480
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: They're those countries are belching out all kinds of CO

481
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: two and and real pollutants by the way, in the

482
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: air all the time. But you know, there's there's just

483
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: no shortage of ways that democrats will tie climate change

484
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: into any issue they want. Here's Joe Biden for example.

485
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: Look what happened in darfour? What's darfour all about? Darfour

486
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: is all about the fact that the sub Saharan doesn't

487
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: because of the change in climate, no longer had enough

488
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: areable land. Look what's happened in Indonesia. They're talking about

489
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: moving their capital because it's going to sink. What happens

490
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: if you get ten, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, one hundred million

491
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: people on the move, that causes wars? And so it's

492
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 1: well beyond whether or not it affects me personally, which

493
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: it does, and it did my family and still does,

494
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: just like your families. This is personal personally. Every one

495
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: of you probably have a story that can talk about

496
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: what's happened to something you care greatly about, whether it's

497
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: a species or it's your son or daughter coming down

498
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: with cancer because of it. I'm sorry. So the genocide

499
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: in darfour and cancer are now tied to climate What

500
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: isn't tied to climate change? That's a better question. I

501
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: think what is not something you can blame you can

502
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: blame climate change for I'm wondering. I think it's an

503
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a fair and open question. This is

504
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: just This is lunatic blather. This is Joe Biden. He

505
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: might as well be walking around and saying the world's

506
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna end tomorrow. Look what's happened in the Midwest. We

507
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: have a number of significant bases that relate to military

508
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: bases that relate to our national security that in fact

509
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: we're rendered almost useless, including I can't win the great

510
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: detail to say it, but my point is it significantly

511
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: reduced our national security. I'd say, what is he talking about?

512
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: But I can tell you Joe Biden doesn't know what

513
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: he's talking about, so how could we decipher it? You know,

514
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: there is no Rosetta stone here for for bidenisms, because

515
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: it's just what the heck is he talking about? You

516
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: understand that this is what it was was playing to

517
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: a This is the religion of the left, and this

518
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: was all meant for the base, and this was all

519
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: meant for people to reinforce this belief system that people

520
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: should and if you really believe in climate change catastrophe,

521
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: you should be embarrassed. It should be an embarrassing thing

522
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: for people if you really think the world's going to

523
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: end in ten years because a bunch of talking heads

524
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: and pseudoscientists who, if it wasn't for climate change, would

525
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: have no grant money and nothing to do with themselves.

526
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: You know, no great scientist is like, hey, you know

527
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be one of those

528
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: guys that's you know, working with the climate change panels

529
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: or whatever. No, people that really have scientific skills and

530
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: are gifted are going to want to try to, you know,

531
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: do real things like pure cancer, real stuff that helps

532
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: real people. Speaking of different topics, Look, I mean, you know,

533
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: LGBT issues are important, and that's a totally totally fine

534
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: ground for another town hall. I mean, they announced last

535
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: night at CNN they're going to do an LGBT town hall.

536
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: This is the CNN is partnering with the Human Rights

537
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: Campaign Foundation for our next series of presidential town halls

538
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: on issues that are important to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,

539
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 1: and queer community. So make sure you tune into that.

540
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: That's going to be next month. It'll be in Los Angeles.

541
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: There's real, real issues. Fine, you know that, But I

542
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: think it's noteworthy. What is what does CNN? What do

543
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: these networks MSNBC choose to hold these town halls on

544
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: what issues get over that threshold? And one issue that

545
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: has not gotten over that threshold yet. And this came

546
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: up today because I tweeted this out at some people

547
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: on the left, why isn't there an opioid town hall?

548
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: And I would offer to you that the fact that

549
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: there has been before, or rather the fact that there

550
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: hasn't been an opioid town hall before the climate change

551
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: town hall just goes to show you that there are

552
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: real problems with this fixation on a fake fight. This

553
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: takes resources away, this takes attention away. Opioids are killing

554
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 1: sixty to seventy thousand Americans a year in this country.

555
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: It's a public health crisis, yes, but it's also a

556
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: crisis within our culture. It's a crisis of meaning. It's

557
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: a there's a lot that goes into it, and people

558
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: are dying. Our fellow Americans are dying by the thousands,

559
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: and it's we're just counting the dead in that number.

560
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: Think of all the families that need support, all the

561
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: people who or trying to get treatment. What are ways?

562
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: What are new ways scientifically, psychologically, emotionally, religiously, what are

563
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: the ways that we could we could tackle that crisis

564
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 1: and really save lines. Libs think that this climate change fantasy,

565
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: they they do ask them. They think it's more important

566
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: than the opioid crisis. And that's where I have a problem.

567
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: That's where things just start to turn into this is

568
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: not just nonsense, but it's now immoral. The diversion of time,

569
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: the diversion of resources away from much more important stuff

570
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: that really matters. The opioid epidemic in this country is

571
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: real and we should address that. And the fact that

572
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: these Democrat primaries spend so little time on that and

573
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: so much more telling us that they're going to ban

574
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: straws and tell us that we can't eat hamburgers tells

575
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: you a lot about the Democratic Party. What saved is

576
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: not worth it. For the little they saved and what

577
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: people were going through, it is not worth it. And

578
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: price was another lightbulbs, different light bulbs. Now you should think,

579
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: is this really how big a deal is this? Should

580
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: we really care all that much about the president of

581
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: the United States? I mean, why are people all so upset? Well,

582
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: they're upset about Trump doing absolutely anything. But let's just

583
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: dig into this light bulb rule for second, because there's

584
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: a bigger takeaway from these very small things. There you go,

585
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: the Department of Energy, this is on the Hill. Hey,

586
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: I used to work at the Hill. Farm of Energy

587
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: finalize a controversial rule this week that would erase Obama

588
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: era efficiency standards for light bulbs. The regulation eliminates efficiency

589
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: standards for about half the bulbs in the market. It

590
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 1: leaves in place rules for standard pear shaped bulbs, while

591
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: removing such requirements for recess lighting, chandeliers and other shapes

592
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: of bulbs. When first proposed, the rule was supported by

593
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: light bulb manufacturers, but consumer groups estimate continuing to use

594
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: less efficient bulbs will cost the average household more than

595
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a year and create more pollution as

596
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: utilities produce more energy that would otherwise not would not

597
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: be needed, produce energy rather that would otherwise I need.

598
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: The Energy department flat out got it wrong today. Blah blah.

599
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 1: People are freaking out about this. The rule will increase

600
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: US electricity use by eighty billion kilowatt hours over the

601
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: course of a year, roughly the amount of electricity needed

602
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: to power all the households in Pennsylvania and New Jersey,

603
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: according to analysis by the Appliance Standards Awareness Project. That's

604
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: a sexy outfit if I've ever heard one. You want

605
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: to get invited, Producer Mark, you want to get invited

606
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: to the Appliance Standards Awareness Project Christmas party. It's wild

607
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: sounds like a great time. They give away that. I'm

608
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: sure they give away a washer dryer to somebody in

609
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: the raffle. I mean, is that really a bad energy efficient. Bam,

610
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: you know it. I don't have a washer dryer, do

611
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: you really? I have a I have a one. I've

612
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: been told I've got a little closet, and I have

613
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: very little closet space. But I gotta wash your dryer

614
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: in my closet. I feel like, you know, I feel

615
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: like something of a baller, a very clean and downy,

616
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: fresh baller. I just bring it to the laundry map.

617
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: The nice lady does it for me. Well, there you go.

618
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: So why am I telling you about light bulbs? You

619
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: might be asking that question. There's a very good reason

620
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: for it. This is the evidence, or part of a

621
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: much larger evidentiary finding of all the little things that

622
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: libs want to dictate in your life. I do think

623
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: this is very important. There is no area of your

624
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: life if you adopt the left wing positions of the

625
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 1: Democrat primary candidates. There is no area of your life

626
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: that is outside their purview. There is no area of

627
00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: your life that they can't insert themselves into. What you eat,

628
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: what you buy, what you can wear, how you know,

629
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: how you use your energy, what you do in your

630
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: own home, what your nothing, Nothing is outside of their

631
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: of their ability to inflict themselves on you in some way.

632
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing of any consequence. So you know, we

633
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: had this light bulb rule. It's a little bit of

634
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: of a who cares situation? And how about this? We

635
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: need to produce, you know, produce a little more energy.

636
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: Who cares? This shouldn't be that hard everything that we

637
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: have seen. Forget about the signs, as I keep saying,

638
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: it's about the history. Look at what has happened, Look

639
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: at where we are going. The amount of additional electricity

640
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: and bandwidth and food and prosperity and all this stuff.

641
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: You know, all of it that is orders of magnitude,

642
00:39:54,160 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: orders of magnitude more then you know what we would

643
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: have expected fifty years ago. I mean, I can't imagine

644
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: imagine sitting down with your for any of you listening,

645
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, two generations back, so you're great your grandparents,

646
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: rather and saying, you know, I'm gonna be able to

647
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: walk around with this little thing that I can hold

648
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: in my hand, that I can I have access to

649
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: two billions and billions of websites, data points, social media accounts,

650
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: I can talk to anyone anywhere in the world. I

651
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: can order you know, I could pretty much order a

652
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: jumbo jet delivered to my home if I got the

653
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: cash for it. I mean, you can do all this

654
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: crazy stuff, all these different apps and connects you and

655
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 1: this amazing technological march forward that we've had, and it's

656
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: it's getting it only has gone in one direction in

657
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: the post World War two period, you could argue, only

658
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: in one direction since industrialization in the eighteen fifties or

659
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, eighteen seventies, really, but in that direction has

660
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: been more wealth, more prosperity, better stuff, more stuff. And

661
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 1: what do they keep doing? Oh no, we're gonna we're

662
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: gonna take a chart and we're gonna tell you what

663
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like in fifty years. How much energy

664
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: can be can we produce in fifty years? How much

665
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: CO two will be there? They have no idea whenever,

666
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: and this is one of my maxims. Whenever someone tells

667
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: you they can predict the future, you know they're wrong.

668
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: They can't. They don't know. If they could predict the

669
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: future and any of these things, they could all become billionaires.

670
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: Because if you can predict the future in fifty years,

671
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: you should be able to predict the future next year.

672
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: This is very straightforward, just to apply logic and reason

673
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 1: to their arguments. It makes no sense. This light bulb

674
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: rule is ridiculous. So Trump is rolling it back. Trump

675
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: is deciding that he's, you know, not gonna go forward

676
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 1: with this Obama era regulation was the country and grave

677
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: jeopardy of electricity overuse or something before Obama stepped in

678
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: with us, of course not. But nothing is too small

679
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: for them, Nothing is outside of their purvy. That's what

680
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 1: you have from her. That's why I mean, here, here

681
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: you go. Here's Mayor Pete. We should start calling him

682
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: Smarmy Pete because he's just a smarmy fellow talking about

683
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: how if you eat hamburgers or you eat straws. I mean,

684
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: this is the Democratic Party as the environmental schoolmarm of

685
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: the world. If you eat hamburger, eat straws, and and

686
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: uh snort hamburgers or not, they can't snort the What

687
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: do you do with a straw anyway? You suck on them.

688
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: It's a fair point. But if anyway, if you snort

689
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 1: hamburgers and eat straws, let's just stay with that. I

690
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: kind of like that you are part of the problem,

691
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: because yes, we can all do away with our plastic straws,

692
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: and I haven't drank out of a straw for the

693
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,320
Speaker 1: past six months because I'm so worried about what's happening

694
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: in the ocean. But people feel helpless when it's something

695
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: that existential, right, And that's about that. That's one of

696
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: the things. I think The downside to us facing just

697
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: how colossal of a challenge this is is it can

698
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: feel paralyzing, but we can rise to meet this and

699
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: be proud of it. That's part of what my climate

700
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: plan is about. It's not only about all of the

701
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: things we've got to do technologically and with regulation and

702
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: so on. It's about summoning the energies of this country

703
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: to do something unbelievably hard. If you look at the

704
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 1: moments when this country rose to a major challenge, overcoming

705
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: the Great Depression, winning World War Two, going to the Moon,

706
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: it required something out of all of us, and I

707
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: think we could be standing taller. See right now, we're

708
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: in a mode where we're I think we're thinking about

709
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: it mostly through the perspective of guilt, you know, from

710
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: using a straw to eating a burger. Am I part

711
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: of the problem in a certain way? Yes? But the

712
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: most exciting thing is that we can all be part

713
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: of the solution in a certain way. Yes, that's the

714
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: real payoff there. I mean, if I'm eating a burger

715
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: and using a strong I'm part of the problem. Well yeah,

716
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: you're you're you're part of the problem, all right, But

717
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: but you can be part of the solution. Oh you

718
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: mean you mean I can be cleansed of my environmental sins.

719
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: Pope Pete, you can wave your hand above above me

720
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: and tell me that it'll all be okay as long

721
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: as I do everything that you say. I eat what

722
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: you tell me to eat. I use a lightbulbs you

723
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: tell me I can put in my home. I drive

724
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 1: the car you tell me is fuel efficient enough, using

725
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:35,720
Speaker 1: the fuel that you dictate for me. It's just wild,

726
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean, the stuff that they have convinced

727
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: themselves is of I feel badly. I feel badly for

728
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: all of these libs who get up every day and

729
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: are so lacking in purpose in their lives that they

730
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 1: have to conjure up this this fake battle again, something

731
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: that will never be overcome and doesn't need to be overcome.

732
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's an illusion, and the whole thing

733
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: is in illusion. I would say they're tilting at windmills,

734
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: but at least that looks cool. They're not. They're not

735
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 1: even uh you know, don Quixote. There's something else here.

736
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 1: They've gone off the deep end little things that they

737
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 1: should have no interest or business in. They will tell

738
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: you yes, oh h Kamala Harris I see her often

739
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: referred to as Kamala the Cop because she liked to

740
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 1: put people away in prison when she was a prosecutor.

741
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: She had a very rough record for that. She also

742
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: wants to tell you no more straws to lead and

743
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: are a big thing right now. Yeah, do you ban

744
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: plastic straws? I think we should, yes. I mean, look,

745
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, it's really difficult to drink out

746
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: of a paper straw when you had if you're just like,

747
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: if you don't bump it down immediately, it starts to

748
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 1: bend and and then you know, the little thing catches

749
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: it and then you know, so we got to kind

750
00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: of perfect that one. A little bit bit. More on innovation,

751
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean we got we got it. Yeah, innovation is

752
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: a process, right, you don't just do it. It's not

753
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: really funny though, it's annoying. Actually, you know this is yah.

754
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,439
Speaker 1: You know she's laughing about it, but you know it's

755
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: not funny. It's an irritation. Libs like to do this stuff.

756
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:24,720
Speaker 1: You know, paper straws suck, well, I guess that makes sense.

757
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: Paper straws are bad quality. They're not good. I've had

758
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: I had to use them in my favorite little coffee

759
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: shop in DC. And it's true. You gotta you gotta

760
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: down that whole moca soy latte right away or else, man,

761
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: you are out of luck. Nothing is too petty for them,

762
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: nothing is too small. And it is because this is

763
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: part of a narrative not just of being better than

764
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: the other, but also of creating purpose for people who

765
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: lack it. And I'm not going to sit here and

766
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: pretend that I'm at the pulpit and I'm going to

767
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: preach about maybe these people need, maybe they need Jesus,

768
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: maybe they need God of I'm kind, but they need

769
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: more than their warriors in an imaginary war, which is

770
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: what they And it's a war by the way that

771
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: even though the enemy is imaginary, as I've been describing to,

772
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: the casualties for fighting this war are very real. Bad

773
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,760
Speaker 1: things happen to people because of stupid decisions with climate change.

774
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: People don't just get poor. People are people are sick,

775
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: people lose their lives because of changes from these policies.

776
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: And one of the great examples of this is, and

777
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: I know some of you know what I'm gonna say

778
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: is DDT. DDT was vilified, vilified by the same nineteen

779
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: seventies lent environmentalist movement that was all about the population

780
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: bomb and the Sierra Club and all this stuff. You

781
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: know how many people have died of malaria directly because

782
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 1: of the unwillingness the bands on DDT. You can't even

783
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: you can't even out it. Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions,

784
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 1: who knows, huge numbers of people dead from a very

785
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: painful disease that we actually could eradicate or could have

786
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: much more thoroughly eradicated. But the environmentalists whackos, didn't want

787
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: to let us do it. Nothing is too small for

788
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: them to inflict themselves upon nothing. Just remember that. That's

789
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: one of our biggest takeaways here, your straws, your hamburger, everything.

790
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: So you rightly point out about nuclear energy it's not

791
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: carbon base, but the problem is it's got a lot

792
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: of risks associated with it, particularly the risks associated with

793
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: the spent fuel rods that nobody can figure out how

794
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 1: we're going to store these things for the next bazillion years.

795
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: So here's how I see it. In my administration, We're

796
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: not going to build any nuclear power plants, and we

797
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: are going to start weaning ourselves off nuclear energy and

798
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: replacing it with renewable fuels. Over we're going to get

799
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: it all done by twenty thirty five, but I hope

800
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: we're getting it done faster than that. Completely scientifically illiterate

801
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren taking this position that is a pure environmentalist

802
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 1: prejudice here against nuclear power. Nuclear power is the serious

803
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: answer to the energy needs of the future for this world.

804
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: It's just that's just reality. Nuclear power plants should be

805
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: much more, much further along in their evolution than they

806
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: are because of people like Elizabeth Warren who are scaremongering

807
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,280
Speaker 1: over it. But if she's not going to talk about

808
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: nuclear in the future, then there's just there's no seriousness

809
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 1: to getting us off of fossil fuels in the next

810
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: fifty years. Now, I'm doing the same thing they do

811
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: right fifty years who knows, Okay, maybe not fifty years,

812
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: five to ten years. Yeah, that I can tell you

813
00:49:56,280 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: we're nowhere near the level of the efficiency and the

814
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 1: ubiquity of renewable energy sources that would be required. And

815
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: remember they don't understand that these are all moving targets

816
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: that our energy needs today are going to just get larger.

817
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: There's going to be more need for energy, more need

818
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: for transportation, refrigeration, climate, climate control not changed, like keeping

819
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: your house hot or cold, building things, mechanization, There's just

820
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: going to be more you know, AI and all this

821
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: machine learning stuff that we're going to be hopefully enjoying

822
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: in the relative in near future. We're going to need

823
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: more energy, not less. There's no way around that's that's

824
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: just the truth. And when you look at our renewable

825
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: renewables right now, producer markets to do a quick I

826
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: can't because I'm on are what percentage of the US

827
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: energy grid is renewable? I think it's somewhere in the

828
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: five to seven range right now. Five to seven percent.

829
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 1: I could be that might just be solar and solar

830
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: and wind, but I think it's five to seven percent.

831
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: It's it's not a lot. And when you start to

832
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: tally up all the emissions and all the technology and

833
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: all the all the waste and all the energy that

834
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: goes into creating those energy sources. And this is why

835
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: electric cars is a fund. I mean, it's like, okay,

836
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: now you're driving electric car. That's good. It doesn't you know,

837
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: doesn't produce the carbon dioxide you know problem in the

838
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: air fine, which I don't think is much of a

839
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: problem that they do. But you still need electricity from something,

840
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: and you know, the solar panel stuff, and it doesn't work,

841
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: though it doesn't work as well as people want it to.

842
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: Is that funny Goldman Sacks elevator account that I told

843
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: you about yesterday. I had a joke that solar has

844
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: been the next big thing for the last thirty years.

845
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: It's true, solo solar. It's gonna break out at any time. Now. Well,

846
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: there's a reason it hasn't broken out because there's some

847
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: problems like nighttime, like getting this getting the energy once

848
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: you have, once you have generated it through a solar panel,

849
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 1: where do you store it, how do you transmit it?

850
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: And how difficult and energy intensive are those processes? This

851
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: is these are all things that would have to be

852
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: worked out. The market is already handling this. This at

853
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: its core the whole Green New Deal and the climate

854
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: change lunacy. It is about control, but it's also about

855
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: central planning. This is the fundamental fight of our error

856
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,439
Speaker 1: right now in politics. Is really about those who want

857
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 1: to let human beings make their own choices to the

858
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: greatest degree possible. It doesn't mean you can do everything right.

859
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: There's oh buck, can you have a nuclear weapon in

860
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: your living room? No, just wherever possible. You know, the

861
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: the greatest amount of individual freedom should be afforded people

862
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: in this country versus those who really think, and they're

863
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: called democrats and they really should be called socialists, that

864
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: every aspect of your life should be planned out for you.

865
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: You don't get a say they know better than you.

866
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: The elites have already worked this all out for you.

867
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 1: They save you from having to worry your little heads

868
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: about these problems. See, but they have a problem too.

869
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: We are now more aware than ever, because of the

870
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: technologies that we have, because of the free flow of information,

871
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: that the elites are not nearly as clever and not

872
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: nearly as wise as they think they are, and that

873
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: their desire for increased control is at odds with their

874
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: record of continuous and often abject failure to centrally plan. Well,

875
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean just like you know, you can sit here

876
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: and think of things, think about like Celindra. Remember that

877
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: huge solar energy scandal the Obama administration that the mainstream

878
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: press didn't want to touch. They were taxpayer backed and

879
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 1: they were just selling solar panels at a loss. But

880
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: they figured they didn't enough, they'd make it up on volume.

881
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,279
Speaker 1: It was crazy. Oh real quick, team producer Mark just

882
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 1: told me eleven percent renewable. I said five to seven,

883
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: a little bit off, but eleven percent in total. We'll

884
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: be right back. The NRA has done more to perpetuate

885
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: and create the sick gun violence epidemic terrorizing our country.

886
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: They buy off politicians, prevent common sense gun violence legislation,

887
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: prevent gun violence research. It is time to rid this

888
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: country of the NRA and call them out for who

889
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: they really are. They are a domestic terrorist organization. That

890
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 1: is a San Francisco Board of Supervisors member named Katherine

891
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 1: Stefani who is calling the NRA a domestic terrorist organization.

892
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: It is not possible to think of a more baseless, unfair,

893
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: just crazy. I run out of the words, folks, crazy, insane, lunacy,

894
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: this is what we are dealing with now with this

895
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: Democrat Party. They're just they're not all there. It's it's worrisome,

896
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 1: it really is. I've become concerned now. I like to,

897
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, joke around about it sometimes here on the show.

898
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 1: But but these people that are the really committed leftist

899
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 1: people like this miss Stefani from the San Francisco Board

900
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: of Supervisors, what are they capable of? Really? You know,

901
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: what are they willing to do because they they think

902
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: they know things that ain't so a domestic terrorist organization

903
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 1: based on what NIRA is. He's got millions of Americans remembers.

904
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I never fib My NRA membership has lapsed,

905
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 1: lapsed just because um, I've forgot to send in the check.

906
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 1: But I have been in the past. I have my card,

907
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: I've been an NRA member and now I'm now I'm

908
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: reminding myself and I need to get my membership up

909
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 1: and running again. I've, oh my gosh, next to you,

910
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: I tell you I got a register to vote or something.

911
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? Buck? But no, I've I've I

912
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: was an nraber for years and would like to be

913
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: like to be back in the fold, I just am

914
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: reminding myself. Now it's I've been very busy with the move.

915
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: But to call the NRA terrorist organization is to say

916
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: that the people that are NRA members are supporting a

917
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: terrorist organization. So therefore, this person in San Francisco, I

918
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,919
Speaker 1: remember this was a city council designation or something. They've

919
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: decided that, you know, the NRAs a domestic terrorist organization.

920
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: And this means then I suppose they view the National

921
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:36,439
Speaker 1: Rifle Association as in some way morally on the same

922
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: plane as or similar to you know, Hamas or you

923
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: know al Qaeda, or these organizations that are devoted to

924
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 1: killing people. I mean, that's when you're talking about a

925
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: terrorist organization. Let's be very clear. Terrorist organization is a

926
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 1: group that uses violence to achieve a political goal. That's

927
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: the most baseline. You can add some nuances to it,

928
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:02,760
Speaker 1: and some some greater specificity, but that is the most clear.

929
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: That is the most clear, or I should say, the

930
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: most basic and perhaps the most clear definition that we

931
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: have for it. So in what way, in what way

932
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: has the NRA ever advocated violence for a political end?

933
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: Has anyone who supports or or you know, I shouldn't

934
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: say supports because those are millions of people. Has any

935
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: NRA platform or NRA official ever ever advocated for violence?

936
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: Is it now the same? Are we to conflate the

937
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: moral stance of you can defend yourself with the immorality

938
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: of you can harm people or are going out and

939
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: harming people for no reason? Because if that is the

940
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: position that leftists are going to take now, we might

941
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 1: as well be explicit about that. We should know that

942
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: if there's no difference between saying you should be able

943
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: to defend yourself and oh, someone's going to be a

944
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: mass shooter, then we're living in a world where there

945
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: is no there is no morality, there is no down.

946
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: It's just whatever the left says it is. And I

947
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: do not accept that that's going to be the future

948
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: for this country, that they can declare people to be

949
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: terrorists on the basis of nothing nothing. I mean the

950
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: things that are said to my old colleague and friend,

951
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: Dana Lash that I see because she'll reteet it on Twitter.

952
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I've no her husband, I've spoken to

953
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: him before about this stuff. I mean the things that

954
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: are said because of her associations with the n R

955
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: and there are other people too, but friends of mine

956
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: who are supportive of the Second Amendment. You will have

957
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: people without a trace of irony, without any sense of

958
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: self awareness. You will have libs say things like you

959
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: know you support violence against kids, like you know you

960
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: should go shoot yourself or something. They'll say horrible things.

961
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: They'll say horrible things to you, violent things, because they

962
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: oppose violence so much. We have now a we have

963
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: a different media environment. And I don't mean that just

964
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, the platforms are changing and

965
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: the social media giants and all that. It is now

966
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: possible if you want to be immersing yourself in very

967
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: powerful political ideologies of different kinds really twenty four to seven,

968
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: if you want you have an endless stream of this stuff.

969
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: You can live in this virtual world where you're the

970
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: good guy and anyone who doesn't agree with you is

971
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: the bad guy. And if you embrace that because of

972
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 1: the feeling of I don't know, COMMI solidarity you have

973
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: with your fellow leftists, because it's nice to feel like

974
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: you're just morally superior to other people. If you really

975
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: believe in that, and you stop seeing the decency that

976
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: is so apparent to anybody being honest in the other side,

977
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so many of the nicest, best people

978
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: I know. I mean, let me just let me just

979
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 1: say it. Most of the nice and best people that

980
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm the nicest and best people I know, are gun owners.

981
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 1: Most of them. I'm not saying there aren't some wonderful

982
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: libs out there, but most of the great people I

983
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: know are gun owners. So when I hear some wouldn't say,

984
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: how could you own a gun? It's so immoral only

985
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 1: and really implying that only bad people own guns. It's

986
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: just it's just ignorance that is tearing at the very

987
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: basic belief that we should always have in this country,

988
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: in each other's essential goodness. Right Like we're all Americans,

989
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: We're all we're all on the same team when push

990
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: comes to shove. If someone believes that I'm part of

991
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: a domestic terrorist organization because I support the NRA, and

992
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,479
Speaker 1: if they think that they have a right to send

993
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: men with guns to my home to take well, I

994
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: don't have firearms because I live in New York City.

995
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: But if I did, and I know I've got to

996
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: work on that. Actually I'm gonna get and I'll tell

997
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:41,360
Speaker 1: you about it on the show. I've been planning to

998
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: do this for a little while. I'm going to get

999
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: a premise permit, I think in New York, and you

1000
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: know that will mean that I will be a lawful

1001
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: gun owner here in the city. And it's going to

1002
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: be a hellish process because I know people who have

1003
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: done it. But I'll tell you about what that's really like.

1004
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: By the way, just a quick news update on the

1005
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:04,760
Speaker 1: possible gun law legislation. This from Fox Today. The Department

1006
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: of Justice has sent a package of legislative proposals on

1007
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: gun violence to the White House, a person familiar with

1008
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 1: the matter told Fox News, as the debate rages over

1009
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: how lawmakers and the president should respond to a recent

1010
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: spate of deadly mass shootings. The White House has had

1011
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: the proposals for two weeks, according to the source, but

1012
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: has not yet sent anything along to Capitol Hill. It

1013
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: was not immediately clear what proposals are included in the

1014
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: DJ package. President Trump has signaled a willingness to at

1015
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,479
Speaker 1: least consider new measures, while insisting he will also defend

1016
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights. And I think I think that the

1017
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the problem, so the universal background checks is

1018
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: what they're really going to go for I don't think

1019
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: they're going to get an assault weapons ban, and I

1020
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna get red flag laws either, because

1021
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: of the obvious room for a use by the state,

1022
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and that should make everybody uncomfortable. And now the state,

1023
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,919
Speaker 1: in a prejudicial or a predue process, I should say

1024
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: hearing could take away a constitutionally protected right. You know

1025
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 1: what's next, prior restraint. Oh, you can't publish that until

1026
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: you go before a judge in a month and then

1027
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 1: you can decide if it can be published. But the

1028
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: universal background checks that, that's what I think they're going

1029
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 1: to dig in on. And I don't know if this president. Look,

1030
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: let's all understand this President Trump is not a gun guy.

1031
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 1: He doesn't come from a gun culture. He's not somebody

1032
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: who is steeped in the Second Amendment. He's you know,

1033
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: I think he believed the right to defend oneself and

1034
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: so he has some cultural affinity for firearms owners and

1035
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: understands that impulse. But you know, I'm I'm gonna have

1036
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: to keep a close eye on this, and we all are.

1037
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Trump is really going to hold

1038
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:04,479
Speaker 1: the line against unnecessary and constitutionally problematic legislation. The left

1039
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 1: is really digging in on this. We'll have to see. Yeah,

1040
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: we're compiling the August numbers now, we'll be releasing those

1041
01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: early next week. But we're looking at a reduction of

1042
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 1: over fifty percent from May to today. Continued partnership with Mexico,

1043
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: and the wall is being built. It's going up rapidly.

1044
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: It's I guess most of you have been able to see.

1045
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: We're building very large sections of wall. It's a big

1046
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: factor was we just won the big Supreme Court cases,

1047
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, and we we're building in different sections. We're

1048
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: building different sections simultaneously, and we think by the end

1049
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,960
Speaker 1: of next year, which will be sometime right after the

1050
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 1: election actually, but we think we're going to have close

1051
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: to five hundred miles of wall, which will be complete.

1052
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: As I've been saying, a big promise for the President

1053
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: the United States to keep, and you know, you had

1054
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: strong jobs numbers the last month. Everything is is very

1055
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: much on track. And as the President continues with his

1056
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: the winds that he's racking up here, as he continues

1057
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: to deliver on promises for the American people, you're you're

1058
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: gonna see even more shrill and angry stuff from the Libs.

1059
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm overwhelmed right now by the amount of crazy

1060
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,439
Speaker 1: that we have been subjected to with this climate change debate.

1061
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: And there's going to be more. MSNBC's doing a two

1062
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: day town halls, as we've been talking about. But I

1063
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: do think that we are going to see a whole

1064
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: new level, and I worry. I worry what it will

1065
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: really do to the country because there's no there are

1066
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: no lessons learned for the left about all the crazy

1067
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: that has happened thus far. There are no lessons learned

1068
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: that really indicate in any way they think that it's

1069
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,200
Speaker 1: time to scale things down a little bit, to sort

1070
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: of scale things back. They think that the way that

1071
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: they should actually try to stop Trump is to be

1072
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: even more maniacal. And I you know, usually the progression here,

1073
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 1: and this is just a little bit of of of

1074
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: a preview of I think what we're going to see.

1075
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Usually the progression is that they have this far left

1076
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: wing primary, or at least people go to the left

1077
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: during the Democrat primary, and then they try to tack

1078
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: back to the center, and they try to go back

1079
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:41,440
Speaker 1: to the center because they want to get voters from Ohio,

1080
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: and and from Florida and etc. Etc. They they're looking

1081
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: to to do what is necessary to win. And so

1082
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: that's when you get the Democrats that that are more

1083
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: reasonable in their positions. You know, this is where that's

1084
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: where the Biden effect is supposed to come in handy. Well,

1085
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: it's tried and true, been around a long time. This

1086
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 1: guy's not going to upend the world and it'll all

1087
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: be okay. Meanwhile, they've been telling you what they really think,

1088
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 1: what they really believe is the stuff that's in the primary.

1089
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: This is what we've learned with the Democratic Party. You know,

1090
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: if they could get their way with all of these things,

1091
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,479
Speaker 1: they would do it. I do think it's a little

1092
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 1: bit terrifying when you go to that next level of okay,

1093
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: assuming that they could get away with these things, assuming

1094
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: that they could do these things, would they would they

1095
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 1: actually go forward with a green new deal at all?

1096
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 1: And I believe the answers. Yes. There was a time

1097
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 1: with the Democratic Party used to talk a very big game.

1098
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: Some of them would they'd flirt a little bit with

1099
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: open borders, and then they would say, oh no, no, no,

1100
01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: we need border security. You're right, we can have a

1101
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: welfare state and open borders. You know, they would do

1102
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 1: these things. But now what we see he's a Democratic

1103
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: party that has taken position that it will be impossible

1104
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: to move away from come the general election. It's just

1105
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: it's not realistic to believe that they're going to pretend

1106
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: that this whole insanity of the Green New Deal happened.

1107
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: And that also means that some of the things that

1108
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: Trump is doing well, they're going to have to find

1109
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 1: a way to oppose. And the only way so, you know,

1110
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:28,480
Speaker 1: the wall obviously that they're completely against. Even though and

1111
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: this is what maybe maybe think of this today. You know,

1112
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: even though the wall was initially Trump was the crazy one.

1113
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Trump was the one that had this idea that you know,

1114
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: no normal, sane person could ever think. It turns out

1115
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: that the more time you spend with the professionals of

1116
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 1: border patrol, with the people that work in border security,

1117
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 1: the more clear it is that walls do work, have worked,

1118
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: and would continue to work if there was an expansion

1119
01:07:56,160 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: on them. All of that is true, and yet none

1120
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: of that will factor into the way Democrats talk about

1121
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: the wall next year. It's going to be as though

1122
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: none of the things that have happened in the last

1123
01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: three years in terms of the debate and where the

1124
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 1: country is and what we've learned in this process has happened.

1125
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: They're just going to go back to the same false

1126
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 1: points about how walls don't work and how you know,

1127
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 1: Trump puts kids in cages and he's horrible, and they're

1128
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: not going to be able to pull the moderation game.

1129
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 1: And I think that that's going to have really interesting

1130
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 1: implications for the general election, because then the only way,

1131
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: if they can't become moderate, the only way that they

1132
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 1: can defeat Trump really is a base turnout model that

1133
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: is going to be getting even more left wing crazies

1134
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: and you know, getting enthusiasm up to even greater levels.

1135
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if that will work. It depends on

1136
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: the state we're talking about, but it's just we're dealing

1137
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: with a radical Democratic party that cannot deradicalize in term

1138
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: in time for the next election, and things like the

1139
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: wall and other other things that the President is going

1140
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 1: to be pushing over the next year. They will act

1141
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 1: like this is some catastrophe, some calamity, even though as

1142
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: we know, the President was right all along, has been

1143
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: right all along about the wall, he's been right. This

1144
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: debate has been had in public. We know that walls work,

1145
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: We know that it helps border security. Border patrol across

1146
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: the board will tell you that in sectors where they've

1147
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: had wall it has been incredibly useful. And we're just

1148
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,679
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna pretend that nothing, none of this ever happened.

1149
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: They're also, i think, although I'm not quite sure how

1150
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: they're going to play this one yet, I think you'll

1151
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 1: see the left return to some of the Russia collusion stuff,

1152
01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: even though the Muller probe didn't find it. In you know,

1153
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 1: we had this whole summer. We went through this cycle

1154
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: of will there won't they? On on impeachment, will there

1155
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: won't they? And this was just Democrats playing a political game,

1156
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: trying to figure out whether or not it would be,

1157
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, possible for them, whether or not it would

1158
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: be realistic for them to impeach the president and have

1159
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 1: that be a political win for them. Right, they had

1160
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: to assess that that's all it was. They pretend to

1161
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,919
Speaker 1: be all about principle, but as soon as the principle

1162
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: gets in the way of their relentless lust for power,

1163
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, the principle doesn't really matter.

1164
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:41,559
Speaker 1: So you'll you'll see some of these themes returning. You'll

1165
01:10:41,560 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 1: see this coming back time and again over the next

1166
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: really the next now thirteen months, and so we will

1167
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: have to see, we'll have to see what is going

1168
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 1: on there. So we have my friend Sean Parnell who'll

1169
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: be joining us here in studio in just a moment.

1170
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: Sean is the Swan is a great dude. He's got

1171
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 1: a new book out. We're gonna have a very a

1172
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 1: very relaxed conversation here just about a whole bunch of things,

1173
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: and I think you're gonna want to hear that. So

1174
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: stick around team everybody. I have a special treat for

1175
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: you today. Everyone in Team buckets very excited, especially all

1176
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: the Team Buck ladies. We have Sean Parnell here in

1177
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 1: the flesh, author of All Out War. Sean Parnell also

1178
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 1: wrote Man of War. His books are fantastic. He's a

1179
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: great Guy's a former Army ranger, best selling author, Patriot

1180
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: Man about time, mister Parnell, Good to have you here, sir.

1181
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 1: This is exciting anytime I get to be in studio

1182
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: with the great Buck Sexton in the Freedom Hut is

1183
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 1: in honor and a privilege. Yeah, man, absolutely, So why

1184
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: don't we start if we can, just to tell us

1185
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: a little bit about this book, and then we're just

1186
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: going to talk about some other random things. We're gonna

1187
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 1: keep you here for a while. Well, so you know,

1188
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: this book starts six months after Man of War and

1189
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Eric Steele is wounded pretty seriously in the first book,

1190
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: and he is he's got to recertify to get back

1191
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: on active status. He reas certifies and the first thing

1192
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: he does is to go have dinner with his mom

1193
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 1: and all hell breaks loose. He's attacked at his home.

1194
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: Assailants destroy his house, burn his house down, critically wound

1195
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: his mother, and knock Steel unconscious. And Eric Steel wakes

1196
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 1: up thinking to himself, why was I attacked? What did

1197
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: they want? What was their target? Why was my mom

1198
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: implicated the attack? He goes off the rails and he

1199
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: goes out for revenge, and as he's hunting these assailants down,

1200
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: he realizes that he's been drawn into a much larger

1201
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 1: conspiracy with global potential, global implications to where there are

1202
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: targets on the back of some of the leaders of

1203
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,680
Speaker 1: the greatest Western powers. Very cool, man, let's just get

1204
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: into some of the nuts and bolts of this for

1205
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: a second. How long did it take you to write this?

1206
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm curious. So the first book a long time, So

1207
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: Outlow Batune came out, which is my first book, in

1208
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 1: two thou and twelve, but it took six years from

1209
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve to when Man of War is

1210
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: published to get that story right. I was lucky enough

1211
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: to have an editor sort of take me under his wing,

1212
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: and David hiphil At William Morrow. He just said, hey,

1213
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 1: if you want to write, write fiction, I'll be there

1214
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: for you to help teach, coach and mentor you. And

1215
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 1: so so I've read every word of Outlaw Patune. Yeah,

1216
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: and because I even tell you like I love Doc Pentoy,

1217
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know the characters. Yeah, you're dude, you're

1218
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: a great You're a huge supporter of that. All true.

1219
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 1: But the transition from writing your story essentially to writing

1220
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 1: fiction obviously informed by your experience in the military, how

1221
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: did that go. It's it's like learning to ride a

1222
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: bicycle without a seat while it's on fire. It's monumentally difficult.

1223
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: And so the story of Man of War that's on

1224
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 1: the shelves right now is like the fourth iteration of it.

1225
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,679
Speaker 1: I mean I had to start over from scratch four

1226
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: times to rewrite the intro just to get just to

1227
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: get the tone right, the economy of words right, the plotting,

1228
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 1: the pacing, the character development right. There's so much that

1229
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:55,120
Speaker 1: goes into telling a good fiction story that just takes

1230
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot of practices. Do you get

1231
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: a little nervous about the possibility that you'll make some

1232
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 1: minor error, yea, when it comes to a caliber or

1233
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: some gear or something like that, because you know, some

1234
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: folks might think, oh, well, you'll get the benefit of

1235
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: the doubt from the milk community if you no, expectations

1236
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: are high for you, like if you if you if

1237
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,719
Speaker 1: you write clip when you mean magazine in this book,

1238
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 1: you're done. No, it's so well. Or or if you

1239
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: have if you have Eric Steele changed out the magazine

1240
01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: when he's carrying a revolver, you lose your entire military

1241
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: hot You wouldn't do that well. Sometimes sometimes you just

1242
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: make mistakes. You're in the writing process, you're tired, you've

1243
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,479
Speaker 1: been up all night, and you accident. You know, sometimes

1244
01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:38,760
Speaker 1: you just get these phrases in your mind where you know,

1245
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 1: Steel flicks the safety off or he changes the magazine.

1246
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 1: So it's just those phrases to sometimes come out. So

1247
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 1: that's where good proofreading comes in. But yes, if you

1248
01:14:47,640 --> 01:14:50,799
Speaker 1: make one mistake like that in this genre of books,

1249
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: you will lose your entire military audience. And one fell swoop,

1250
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 1: that's that's for sure. Do you get people that write

1251
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,080
Speaker 1: in with cool ideas to you? Now you're you're an

1252
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:02,759
Speaker 1: established author out he comes in here, it's got an entourage,

1253
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: like seven people. It's radio, so I can lie about this.

1254
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 1: He's got seven people in here, the bodyguard with the sunglasses,

1255
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: the whole thing. But you know, you know, on my

1256
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: own bodyguard, you're going, you're going the full mc hammer.

1257
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: You have a revenue of like fifteen people you know

1258
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: following you. I wish that were so yeah, me too.

1259
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: Well that's I'm hanging out until that happens. But then

1260
01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be one of them. Actually I wish this

1261
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 1: buck he used to do radio. Now he's part of

1262
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: the Parnell entourage. Hey listen, when I'm a Hannity level

1263
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: baller where I have my own helicopter in private, and

1264
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: you're going to actually run the free world, because that's

1265
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: pretty hard. That dude rolls around like he's Tony Stark,

1266
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: you know, and hey, that's that's the goal right there

1267
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: for us. When that day comes, you will be a

1268
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,759
Speaker 1: part of my entourage. I appreciate that. But hopefully hopefully

1269
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: you reach that level before me, and then I get

1270
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: to be a part of your I could do strategic communications,

1271
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: or I could be like Turtle from Entourage, where I

1272
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 1: just you know, just get drunk and or do Johnny

1273
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: Drama's job and make eggs. I'm actually very good at

1274
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 1: making eggs, but so so I'm intrigued by that. But

1275
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 1: do people ever give you ideas what I would the

1276
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: real question? I was going to ask that someone ever

1277
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 1: write in and say, you know, it would be really

1278
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 1: cool if drawing upon obviously you have a big military

1279
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: on their experience, if Eric Steele like work this in

1280
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: or like I got this crazy story from my platoon,

1281
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: you know? Does that stuff ever? No? I haven't. I

1282
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: haven't had that yet. But what I will say, what

1283
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,560
Speaker 1: I have been getting a lot of with this second book, especially,

1284
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 1: people have been binge reading this book. It's only been

1285
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,400
Speaker 1: out for three days and people are already writing to

1286
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: me asking, you know, a major subplot of this book

1287
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: is what happens with Steele's father. Steele grows up without

1288
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: a dad. His dad disappears when Steele's nine years old.

1289
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 1: Steele believes young Eric Steele believes his dad just left

1290
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: him and his mom defend for themselves. But that's not

1291
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 1: the case. You learn that's not the case in this book.

1292
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: So that subplot about what happens to Eric's father becomes

1293
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: a major, a major plot element in this book and

1294
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 1: especially in Steel three, which is what I'm working on now.

1295
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: So I guess why I say all this to say,

1296
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: it is surreal to me that I have fans of

1297
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: this series that are writing me, what's happening with Steele's dad?

1298
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do with Steal's dad? You should

1299
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 1: have them, you know, swing in and save the day

1300
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 1: on a repelling seat and save steels a lot. I mean,

1301
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 1: I get a lot of ideas like that off of

1302
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 1: already existing subplots that I've created. But man, I'm telling you,

1303
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,160
Speaker 1: I never thought that this. I mean, like being a

1304
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 1: writer and coming up with my own stories in subplots

1305
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: and drama and suspense and intrigue. It was never in

1306
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: the cards for me, man, Like, it was not part

1307
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,640
Speaker 1: of my life's plan. So you know, as an aficionado

1308
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 1: of books, fiction books, I love fiction books, and I

1309
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: love television and I love movies. Who do you think?

1310
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean? People always ask me for book rex on

1311
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 1: this show, and I keep promising that I'm just gonna

1312
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,880
Speaker 1: put my entire kindle library out publicly. And it's not

1313
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 1: that I don't want to do it. I just get

1314
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: lazy and I had like sit there and count it

1315
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 1: all off. You should totally have a book sex and

1316
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: books book club. I well, obviously Sean Parnell all out

1317
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: war would be a topic, I hope. So that's amazing.

1318
01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,720
Speaker 1: I love it. But for you, you know, people ask

1319
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: me how'd you learn? How'd you learn radio? And with

1320
01:17:57,360 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: all due respect to the other great hosts, I mean

1321
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 1: I learned for Rush right, if you're asking me who

1322
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 1: taught me how to do radio? Or who did I

1323
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: try to learn and pattern myself after? For you a

1324
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: fiction writing are there one or two maybe maybe even

1325
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: three if you want to be diplomatic who you read

1326
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 1: and you're like this change, this changed the game for me,

1327
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: or this is how I wanted to be like this

1328
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:20,680
Speaker 1: one day in terms of money, fluency, and skill. This

1329
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 1: is a great question. And so I started reading Lee

1330
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Child in the mid nineties and I just was captivated

1331
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: by his stories and some of the stories that Jack

1332
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 1: Reacher would get himself into. Like the idea that Lee

1333
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 1: Child's stories are essentially Westerns, modern day Westerns, where Jack

1334
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: Reacher walks into a town, faces an unanswered question. Answers said,

1335
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 1: unanswered question gets the girl and walks out of town

1336
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: onto the next adventure. I just loved that format and plot.

1337
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: But I have to say the moment where I decided

1338
01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: to like sort of dedicate myself to writing fiction, which

1339
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: has always been a lifelong dream of mine, was on

1340
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Combat Outpost Marga in Afghanistan. My unit built the very

1341
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: first combat outpost and as we were building that, it

1342
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 1: was finishing up a book called Lions of Lucerne by

1343
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: Brad Thor and I read that in Switzerland, right, is this, yeah,

1344
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: like this was early on? Yeah, I've never I've actually

1345
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: never I like Brad. I know Brad a little bit.

1346
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: I've never read any of his books. That's not a

1347
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 1: knock on Brad. I just don't read a lot of fiction, right,

1348
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: but I know the Lucerner. That's the Swiss Guards, right, yes, well,

1349
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: I mean the Lions of Hope Swiss Guards. Well, the

1350
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:28,519
Speaker 1: Lions of Lucerne is a monument in Switzerland or something.

1351
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 1: It's like in Switzerland, and it's just this cool little

1352
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 1: monument statue of lions. And that's that was early on

1353
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: in brad Thor's career when a lot of his books

1354
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 1: were heavily based on the geographic setting of where Scott

1355
01:19:39,400 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: Harvath would operate. But I'm telling you, man, I read

1356
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: that book, I put it down and I said to myself,

1357
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: how never forget this? Like, Okay, you know I've been

1358
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: here in this country for over a year. We just

1359
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 1: got extended. We're gonna be here for another four months

1360
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 1: or until mission complete. Right at that point, I was like,

1361
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:58,599
Speaker 1: I'm not making it out of here alive. But if

1362
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 1: I do, I I'm going to live a life worthy

1363
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,599
Speaker 1: of the sacrifice of my men around me. Writing fiction

1364
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:07,679
Speaker 1: was something that I always wanted to do, and I'm

1365
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: gonna every day that I wake up and I draw breath,

1366
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:13,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work hard to earn it every single day.

1367
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:15,679
Speaker 1: And so I just put my nose to the Grindston.

1368
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 1: When I got back, I mean, I mean initially, you know,

1369
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: I got back from the war in Afghanistan. Eighty five

1370
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: percent of my platoon were wounded, some wounded twice, some

1371
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:25,680
Speaker 1: three times. I came back and most Americans had no

1372
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 1: idea that a war was even going on. So my

1373
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: first foray into writing was just attempting to capture and

1374
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 1: preserve the legacy of my troops, to make sure that

1375
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: it could be passed down from generation to generation. And

1376
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,920
Speaker 1: so that was out law patuone, right, And so that

1377
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 1: book came out, was a New York Times bestseller in

1378
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: its first week, and I think since it's been out,

1379
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: it's been on the Times best seller list for thirty week.

1380
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 1: Don't get a big habit. It's one of the best

1381
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: military memoirs I've read. But don't don't get all and

1382
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 1: you know we're still just friends, all right. I'm not

1383
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: a fan, but man, Buck, it is one of the

1384
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 1: best military Thank you, I really and I've read a

1385
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: lot of them for whatever that's worthy. Man, you're a

1386
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: voracious nonfiction reader for sure, So like that means a

1387
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: lot coming from you, really it does. But you know,

1388
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,040
Speaker 1: nobody was more surprised about the reception that that book

1389
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: received than me. I mean, I was blown away by it.

1390
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: But because of that book's success, I think it gave

1391
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: me a platform to really shoot for the stars and

1392
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 1: write fiction. And you know, and the Outlaw Patune had

1393
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 1: been out for a week and my editor was like, hey, look,

1394
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 1: I know because I've got a great relationship with him.

1395
01:21:24,360 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: He's like, look, I know you want to write fiction.

1396
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: You've been wanting to do it your whole life. I

1397
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 1: think that you could do it, and I'm willing to

1398
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: help you get there if you're willing to do the work.

1399
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: And so I said, okay. Six years later, Man of

1400
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: War was published, and All Out War a year later.

1401
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 1: So now I'm on a rhythm where I've got to

1402
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: churn out one of these books a here. So All

1403
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:45,880
Speaker 1: Out Work came out a week ago, and I'm in

1404
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: the weeds trying to publish this book the right way

1405
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: and make sure it's launched properly. But I'm twenty five

1406
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: thousand words into Steal three now, so it's sort of

1407
01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 1: a NonStop grind. Sean Parnell, everybody, the book is All

1408
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: Out War, it is out right now. He's a new

1409
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 1: York Times best selling author from Outlaw Platoon. This book

1410
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: is also a best seller, All Out War. We're gonna

1411
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 1: come back and talk to Sean about who's gonna play

1412
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 1: him in the movie. He doesn't know that yet, but

1413
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna talk about. We'll be right back,

1414
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 1: all are we here in studio in the Freedom Hut, NYC?

1415
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 1: With my friend Sean Parnell, best selling author. His latest

1416
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 1: is All Out War? What's the best? Let me start

1417
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 1: with this, actually, what's the best war movie or TV

1418
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 1: show you've seen in the last two years, two or

1419
01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: three years? Let's say anything? Anything good? I feel like

1420
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: they'll make I feel like there hasn't been anything in

1421
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: a little while. There's certainly nothing on the scale of

1422
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:40,920
Speaker 1: like saving Private Ryan Blackhawk Down. I actually think Master

1423
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,600
Speaker 1: and Commander is one of the true military masterpieces of

1424
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: cinema of all time, which is not as popular movies

1425
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:48,760
Speaker 1: some of those other movies, but it's incredible for what

1426
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 1: it is. What do you think? Okay, so I would

1427
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: say Jack Ryan is by far the coolest spot. I'm sorry.

1428
01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,600
Speaker 1: The preppie analyst who lived in Georgetown rose Crew in

1429
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: college as a swoop has a hair did you see

1430
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:02,920
Speaker 1: it thin just the of course I saw you didn't

1431
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 1: like it? It was my life story? Oh well, well,

1432
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:07,960
Speaker 1: of course, I mean the CIA analysts right exactly. That

1433
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: guy's a little he's a little too handsome, though he's

1434
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: a little too hand he's Jack's awesome six pack, and

1435
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, all right, all right, I'll get to the

1436
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: gym more settled down. But I thought that as in

1437
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: terms of a story and a show, that was one

1438
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: of the most brilliant plots and fast moving, most technical,

1439
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 1: technically accurate in terms of combat shows I've seen in

1440
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:29,640
Speaker 1: a long time on Amazon, And I just saw the

1441
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 1: preview for the next season of Jack, Ryan and Man.

1442
01:23:32,560 --> 01:23:35,360
Speaker 1: It looks great. Focuses on socialist country of Venezuela and

1443
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: the Russians offending US, uh, giving arms to Venezuelans, and

1444
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 1: creating armed insurrections in Central America. It looks hot. Man,

1445
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 1: all right, good now, because you're the author of all

1446
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: our wars, you've obviously had to do a lot other

1447
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 1: than actual war fighting yourself. Uh, study a lot from

1448
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: the genre, seeing a lot. I mean, you and I

1449
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: grew up watching action actually started that. You and I

1450
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: grew up watching action movies we did for you? What

1451
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: is the action not war movie? And you're the greatest

1452
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 1: action movie of all time? Is what the greatest action

1453
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:05,759
Speaker 1: movie of all time? Movie? Okay, so you are really

1454
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 1: really putting me on the spot. Um, but I gotta

1455
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:10,439
Speaker 1: give me an answer. You'll probably laugh at this. I'm

1456
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 1: I will give you an answer, but I'm afraid to

1457
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 1: give it to you, because I don't want you to

1458
01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:14,120
Speaker 1: make fun of me when I give it to you.

1459
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: But so I will say one, I think one, giving

1460
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: one or the other, you can give me top two

1461
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: if you are okay. Okay, So just Classic Predator. I

1462
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: just think that it's one of my answers. So obviously

1463
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 1: it's just amazing, right, it's such a great movie with

1464
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: a simple plot. I love I just love that movie,

1465
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,679
Speaker 1: everything about that movie. But I also love the movie

1466
01:24:31,680 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 1: True Lies. Wow, I think it's so everybody. He's throwing

1467
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 1: out a sleeper off listen, listen Tom Arnold today is

1468
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: just he's clinically insane. He's insane, Like I don't agree

1469
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: with him together because he'll out he totally will. But

1470
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: he was so hysterical and true Lies he was he

1471
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: will he's he to me, he made that movie and

1472
01:24:55,600 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 1: his his career, his his dynamic with Arnold Schwarzenegger in

1473
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 1: that movie as his handler. And as you know, Arnold

1474
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 1: was a singleton operator. He was a clandestine operator and

1475
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: Tom Arnold was his handler. Hysterical, but the plot was awesome.

1476
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: They wove Jamie Lee Curtis into the story in a

1477
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: really creative and fun way. So it was I think

1478
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 1: it was the perfect mix of like levity fun but serious,

1479
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 1: like serious action thriller stuff. So so we obviously agree

1480
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:23,719
Speaker 1: on Predator, which makes me very happy because that movie

1481
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: is is absurd but amazing, right, Like, like the plot is,

1482
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: it's like sci fi, but in the jungles there's kind

1483
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: of logan contra thing going on there. But like all

1484
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's this weird monster. You know, the

1485
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,640
Speaker 1: original monster that the suit was too big and it

1486
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: was gonna look much more animated, much more like almost

1487
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: like the Terminator. It was much more metallic, but the

1488
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: suit was too big and heavy in the jungle, so

1489
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 1: then they had to switch to that like you know,

1490
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 1: lizard looking get up. They had to change. I've watched

1491
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 1: the backstory of the well, it's it's on YouTube, that's

1492
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 1: on YouTube you can watch. And those guys, by the way,

1493
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,560
Speaker 1: Jesse Ventura, forget what he's done since then, But like

1494
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: Jesse Mature at the time, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, you

1495
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: just had specimens together there. I mean, guys who were

1496
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: at the peak of their physical prowess in a way

1497
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 1: that you know, you just don't have that in any

1498
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: other movie. Really. Yeah, when Arnold Schwartzenegger and Carl Weathers

1499
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: meet and they slap arms and see, ia got you

1500
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,280
Speaker 1: pushing too many bets. Favorite line in the movie, you

1501
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 1: just see these big hulking biceps right there on the screen.

1502
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: That is a at that right there. That was my child.

1503
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: But it's Americana, right, they'll tell you my two brothers.

1504
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 1: So we all we can quote any any line from

1505
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 1: that movie and immediately jump into the scene, like start

1506
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,760
Speaker 1: playing the different characters. Because we've seen it so many times.

1507
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: We owned it on VHS. I think we made the

1508
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 1: tape explode, we watched it so many times. But uh,

1509
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,719
Speaker 1: for me, the Matrix, by the way, oh my god,

1510
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 1: the Matrix part one, I pretend that the second one

1511
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 1: didn't really happen. In the third one definitely, So I'm

1512
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna go I love that movie. I just

1513
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 1: I guess I didn't really consider as an action film.

1514
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 1: It certainly is. I sort of these legendary films like

1515
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: The Matrix. I feel like transcend genre. So I love

1516
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,560
Speaker 1: The Matrix. I think that it is just an amazing

1517
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 1: iconic story. And I'm gonna go out on a limb

1518
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,920
Speaker 1: and say, I actually love Matrix Reloaded. I don't like

1519
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: Matrix Revolutions. I don't. I'm not a fan of the

1520
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: third one. I don't like how they concluded it. But

1521
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 1: I love the second one. Those two twins with like

1522
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 1: the those guys that are like all white headed toe

1523
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 1: whatever that's car chase scene ever that it is the

1524
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 1: most amazing car chase scene of all time. But so

1525
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: this was all just a big It's all just a

1526
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:25,160
Speaker 1: big pre animal to find me. Who's going to play

1527
01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 1: Eric Steele? Well, so I'm sorry, because it actually might happen.

1528
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 1: We don't have to talk about that right now. Yeah, mine,

1529
01:27:31,400 --> 01:27:33,639
Speaker 1: would you want to play Eric Steele? Well, I mean

1530
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:37,519
Speaker 1: I wrote Eric Steele's personality to have a very star

1531
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,640
Speaker 1: Lord esque quality. So, like Chris Pratt and Guardians of

1532
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:44,480
Speaker 1: the Galax scene where where he faces very serious situations,

1533
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 1: almost impossible situations, but he never really loses his sense

1534
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,280
Speaker 1: of humor, at least in these early books when he's

1535
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: not as jaded as he will be in book three.

1536
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: He goes through some serious stuff in book one and

1537
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 1: even worse in book two. Um, so book three he's

1538
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit more jaded. But I

1539
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: thought Chris Pratt would be great unfortunate, Um, I don't

1540
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen, but I would love to see

1541
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 1: like a Ryan Reynolds character as Eric Steele. It'd be great,

1542
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 1: or somebody even lesser known that just like has the

1543
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 1: work ethic and believes in the story. I mean, who's

1544
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: gonna play the sarcastic but very wise ci analyst who's

1545
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 1: making his coffee and uh, basically a buck Sexton is

1546
01:28:17,120 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 1: my first choice. That's gonna say. He's gonna be like

1547
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 1: watching back from headquarters like, yep, looks like we just

1548
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: lost another one today. Sorry, well, I've got this. I've

1549
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: got this character in book three. His name is Ralphie,

1550
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 1: and Ralphie I told you listen to me. His name

1551
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: is Ralphie. I don't think I don't think of you

1552
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 1: as Ralphie. His name in the story is Ralphie. But

1553
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 1: you said you said you wanted a little intelligence whacker,

1554
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 1: like the guy in the computers. That's the guy, all right,

1555
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 1: the guy and you heard it here first on the

1556
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Ralphie modeled after you. Fantastic Sean Parnew Everybody,

Speaker 1: out here in the freedom that we've got our friend

1565
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:10,760
Speaker 1: Sean Parnell, who's joined us. We've been talking about his

1566
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:13,800
Speaker 1: book All at War, which you should all check out.

1567
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:16,479
Speaker 1: But who who was the first I know I was

1568
01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk to you about like current events. We would

1569
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 1: do that on the show every day. Maybe I'll get

1570
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:21,439
Speaker 1: to that a second. We talk about something gun stuff

1571
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 1: that's going on right now. The first author that you

1572
01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 1: read forget about any specific genreor anything else that made

1573
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 1: you like books. J R. R. Tolkien. First book I

1574
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,040
Speaker 1: ever read was a Hobbit, and I could call I

1575
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 1: read it, and I read it and well, my dad

1576
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 1: read it to me in first grade, you know. Um,

1577
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 1: I read it myself for the first time in third grade,

1578
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 1: and then every year I read the entire trilogy like

1579
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 1: four or five times in a row as I just

1580
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:47,400
Speaker 1: was upset. Do you think of the adaptation that that

1581
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 1: Peter Jackson did. I mean, it is a that was

1582
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:53,120
Speaker 1: a monumental challenge to do, but I think he did okay.

1583
01:29:53,200 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Yeah, I thought he did okay. And

1584
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:57,360
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings. I'm not as fan. I'm not

1585
01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 1: as big a fan of The Hobbit, you know. I

1586
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 1: think that that movie. That movie was a disaster. They

1587
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 1: really just like went on and on and on. It

1588
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:06,840
Speaker 1: did not yea, and it didn't really And they made

1589
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: up large swaths of the movie, which again I understand

1590
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,879
Speaker 1: why sometimes they have to do that for just dramatic license,

1591
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: but there's no need to do it in a story

1592
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: like The Hobbit, where you have smog and the Battle

1593
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: of five Dragons and you've got battles with trolls and

1594
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:20,160
Speaker 1: all this other fun stuff. In that book felt like

1595
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 1: there was a lot of fire, there was a lot

1596
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 1: of filler. But I think Peter Jackson did an admirable

1597
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,720
Speaker 1: job on Lord of the Rings. Yeah, for me, it

1598
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: will be I've talked about this before on radio, but

1599
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 1: it's it's really a tie between Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton.

1600
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 1: I was like in the third fourth grade and I

1601
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,639
Speaker 1: started picking up some of their some of their Creton

1602
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 1: was a freaking genius. He was a genius. His the

1603
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:44,599
Speaker 1: premise of all of his books. I love so Michael

1604
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,240
Speaker 1: Crechton is a case study of why it's important for

1605
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:49,559
Speaker 1: young authors to start out with a premise, and so

1606
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: Jurassic Park, for example, Michael Crichton's premise and how he

1607
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,439
Speaker 1: came up with that. It's like, Okay, what would it

1608
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:57,800
Speaker 1: be like if we put human beings in a cage

1609
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:00,200
Speaker 1: with dinosaurs and made them fight to the death. That

1610
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 1: was the simple premise that became Jurassic Park. He is

1611
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:08,200
Speaker 1: the expert at coming up with really interesting premises like that,

1612
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: and you know, I have not been able to do

1613
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:14,760
Speaker 1: it yet, but I love I love his premises of

1614
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:17,120
Speaker 1: all of his stories. He's an absolute genius in everything

1615
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: that he does. Well. If you see West World amusement park.

1616
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 1: Science goes awry. There's a theme there right west Well,

1617
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:26,360
Speaker 1: he wrote When People Forget That was a Michael Crichton, yep,

1618
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,840
Speaker 1: Michael Crichton project. He wrote that before he wrote Jurassic Park.

1619
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:32,679
Speaker 1: So genius. Westworld is like Jurassic Park is West World

1620
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 1: with dinosaurs, which pretty much anytime you're doing in the

1621
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: entertainment business and you can add dinosaurs in seamlessly totally

1622
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:40,720
Speaker 1: good to go, You're good to go. I know, I

1623
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,640
Speaker 1: totally agree. Michael Crichton was a genius, and especially you

1624
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:47,679
Speaker 1: know so much of writing and creativity is collaborative. He he,

1625
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,559
Speaker 1: He never ceased to amaze me with the creative team.

1626
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:54,880
Speaker 1: He was able to just imagine Missus Doubtfire with velociraptors,

1627
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,559
Speaker 1: you know, running around and the old woman body feeling

1628
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 1: in the bodysuit raps. You'd watch basically the Shark Nato formula.

1629
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,040
Speaker 1: But we would we would do it better if we

1630
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,720
Speaker 1: worked on these things together. Um, real question for you

1631
01:32:10,760 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: think anything's gonna change with guns in this country? Do

1632
01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 1: I think it no better or not? I mean, you

1633
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 1: know what really upsets me is this is whole Beto

1634
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 1: O'Rourke and oh, the government's gonna buy we'll buy it

1635
01:32:21,400 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 1: back yours. How can you buy back something that you

1636
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,720
Speaker 1: never owned in the first place, And what sort of

1637
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 1: mental leaps of logic do you like? The real perverse

1638
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:35,160
Speaker 1: logic of that mentality is is the idea that the

1639
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: Second Amendment was written to protect liberty from tyranny, and

1640
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:41,639
Speaker 1: a gun buy back is precisely the kind of government

1641
01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:44,519
Speaker 1: overreachs the Second Amendment was written to protect. And so

1642
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 1: I sure sect better or not, I I will retain

1643
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: my right to I was gonna ask me, you know,

1644
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:54,599
Speaker 1: if if your state, let's say, banned assault, right, come

1645
01:32:54,600 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 1: and take your your your your molan lay on. Yeah, Look,

1646
01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: Megan McCain is absolutely right when she asserted on the

1647
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 1: view that there would be lence if government officials came

1648
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:03,280
Speaker 1: to my if they came to my door and tried

1649
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 1: to take my stuff, like I would say that not

1650
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:08,559
Speaker 1: only we have a duty and obligation to rise up

1651
01:33:08,560 --> 01:33:11,519
Speaker 1: against that government, that sort of government treachery and tyranny.

1652
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 1: And that was why the Second Amendment was written. That

1653
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 1: was precisely why it was written. And you know, if

1654
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 1: you think that the idea of owning The people that

1655
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:20,600
Speaker 1: go out there and say, well, you should not be

1656
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 1: able to own an a R fifteen and these high

1657
01:33:22,439 --> 01:33:24,320
Speaker 1: capacity of magazines, Well, let me tell you this. You

1658
01:33:24,400 --> 01:33:27,080
Speaker 1: might find yourself in a situation where you might need one,

1659
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,679
Speaker 1: Like just recently. What if you live in a city

1660
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:31,840
Speaker 1: where the Portland mayor throws up his hand and says, oh,

1661
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, police stand on the sidelines and let Antifa

1662
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:36,400
Speaker 1: run all over your city and throw firebombs everywhere. You

1663
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 1: might need to protect your family with thirty rounds if

1664
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: you have fifty thugs surrounding your house. Look at what

1665
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: happened to Tucker Carlson. He wasn't even there, His wife

1666
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:46,839
Speaker 1: and his small children were there when left this thugs

1667
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 1: came to his house and banged on his door. I

1668
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 1: want her to have the ability to own an AR

1669
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 1: fifteen with a thirty capacity thirty round magazine if she

1670
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:56,599
Speaker 1: chooses to do so. Yeah, I mean a snubnos revolver

1671
01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:58,720
Speaker 1: looks cool in old cop movies, but that's really not

1672
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 1: That's not what you want to go out and defend

1673
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:04,360
Speaker 1: your own with it. And if you if you ban

1674
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:08,639
Speaker 1: AAR fifteens, you you take away It is a it's

1675
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:12,360
Speaker 1: the most widely owned and most versatile rifle in American history.

1676
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 1: It's a quintessentially American I dive to several of them. Yeah,

1677
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 1: and so it's a quintessentially American innovation. And it's very

1678
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:23,200
Speaker 1: easy for women to use and operate. And so why

1679
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,719
Speaker 1: would we want to hurt a woman's ability to protect

1680
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: herself by taking away a rifle by the way, in

1681
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: the mid nineties, that had no discernible impact on crime

1682
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:33,160
Speaker 1: when it was banned in the mid nineties. I mean,

1683
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 1: it was banned in the mid nineties, had no effect

1684
01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 1: on crime. So why do we continue to ram this

1685
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,960
Speaker 1: political nonsense down our throats in the wake of horrible

1686
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 1: tragedies like this? It makes me sick to my stomach

1687
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 1: that God, people like Beto O'Rourke aren't up in arms

1688
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, you never hear these guys say,

1689
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:51,960
Speaker 1: you know what, after this mass shooting, you know what

1690
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm going to create a task force

1691
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:58,200
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go after illegal guns in Chicago. Why

1692
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 1: why I reject the notion that somehow society is guilty

1693
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 1: just because some thug, murderous, cowardly thug commits a crime.

1694
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:08,600
Speaker 1: Why take my rifle as a law abiding citizen just

1695
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 1: because a criminal commits a crime. What do you say

1696
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 1: when they when they pull out the weapons of warline,

1697
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm always amazed when they Occasionally they'll they'll have I think, uh,

1698
01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 1: well what may or pete He'll use that he was, Oh,

1699
01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:24,639
Speaker 1: you know, I served. I've seen I've seen uh Rob

1700
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:27,559
Speaker 1: Rob o'deill from Fox point out that you know, there's

1701
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 1: like and I can see if you're if you're not

1702
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 1: from within the community, you're never allowed to speak about this.

1703
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:35,000
Speaker 1: But there there are people that are kicking indoors, and

1704
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 1: there are people that are in the rear with the gear.

1705
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:39,559
Speaker 1: I was in the far rear with the cappuccino machines.

1706
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 1: But like you know, I think that people get a

1707
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 1: little bit loose with the truth about who these are

1708
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:47,800
Speaker 1: the weapons, like harried and no, it's not the weapon

1709
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:49,360
Speaker 1: you care, So why are you It's not it's a

1710
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:51,240
Speaker 1: sent I don't care if you served. If you're gonna

1711
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: lie about something, that's this is what. This is what

1712
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:56,120
Speaker 1: the left does. They twist language to make it almost

1713
01:35:56,120 --> 01:35:58,599
Speaker 1: impossible for you to understand what position they're coming from.

1714
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole like again, perfect example is the

1715
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 1: government buy back You know, how can you buy back

1716
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: something that you never own or the weapons of war?

1717
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:08,680
Speaker 1: You know, I've done some deep dive into the Australian

1718
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 1: buyback program. That's always the model that though, that's what

1719
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 1: they always throw in your face. Let's talk about so

1720
01:36:13,560 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 1: so the fun fact about that is that the number

1721
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:22,439
Speaker 1: of guns in private hands in Australia is higher now

1722
01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 1: than it was before the buybacks. You have even more

1723
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:28,720
Speaker 1: guns in more people's hands. And guess what's happened with

1724
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 1: violence for the last fifteen skyrocketed? No down, wait, oh

1725
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:36,280
Speaker 1: more people, no more guns, that's all right? No right,

1726
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:38,559
Speaker 1: I was thinking no, no, no no, I was thinking about

1727
01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:42,000
Speaker 1: like the I was thinking crime skyrocketed because nobody owned guns.

1728
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 1: I know, I completely jumped over your point. Every more

1729
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 1: guns in more hands and there's less. I misunderstood your point. Yes,

1730
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,080
Speaker 1: an armed society is a polite society. And I would

1731
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: go one step further to say an armed and trained society.

1732
01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 1: I just had I said a piece come out in

1733
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: American Consequences, right that that argues great magazine that everybody

1734
01:36:58,000 --> 01:36:59,840
Speaker 1: should subscribe to the way it's free. It is that

1735
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:04,120
Speaker 1: he cannot rely on the NRA and Republican politicians to

1736
01:37:04,200 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: protect our Second Amendment rights. The best way to protect

1737
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights is being a good ambassador for the

1738
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,719
Speaker 1: Second Amendment. Learning how to use your weapon and handle

1739
01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:14,639
Speaker 1: it safely, and not only that, reach out to people

1740
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 1: that have never fired a rifle before, take them to

1741
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:19,360
Speaker 1: the range and teach them how to operate efficiently that

1742
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 1: weapon system. There's never a worse time in this country

1743
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,679
Speaker 1: than after a mass shooting. They're tragic in every way,

1744
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:28,639
Speaker 1: but those mass shootings are exacerbated only by people's ignorance

1745
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:30,760
Speaker 1: on Twitter when they start talking about banning things that

1746
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:34,320
Speaker 1: they don't know anything about. The vast majority of people

1747
01:37:34,320 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 1: that are calling for gun bands think a clip in

1748
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:39,680
Speaker 1: a magazine are the same thing. Well, they think that

1749
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 1: you're running around with a chainsaw bayonet, Nefkin, That's exactly

1750
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,800
Speaker 1: which when you wanted to scare, when you wanted to

1751
01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 1: scare the Taliban Gears of War video games, you rev

1752
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: up that chainsaw bayonet and they're like, oh no, there man,

1753
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:54,240
Speaker 1: it's so true. And so all the people that are

1754
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 1: calling for gun bands are also synonymous. Are also the

1755
01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:59,599
Speaker 1: people that don't know anything about firearms, and it drives

1756
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 1: me in saying and they always say that doesn't really matter.

1757
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:04,639
Speaker 1: Your stupidity is not a reason to take my freedom away,

1758
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 1: my hard fought for freedom people bled for and fought for.

1759
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:10,719
Speaker 1: This freedom is preserved and enshrined in the Constitution, passed

1760
01:38:10,760 --> 01:38:14,000
Speaker 1: down to us, not by man, not by government, but

1761
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 1: by our God. So you're not coming and taking my stuff.

1762
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:21,120
Speaker 1: Mulan Labba cham Parnell style, everybody, the book is all

Speaker 1: roll call in just a second the show. Keeping it real,

1776
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: it's time for Roll Call. Sean Parnell, he's one of

1777
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:19,639
Speaker 1: the obviously, he's a friend of mine, so I think

1778
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:22,519
Speaker 1: very highly of him. He's one of the nicest, nicest

1779
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:24,679
Speaker 1: guys you'll come across in the media business. And I'm

1780
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: glad that his books are doing so well. They are,

1781
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 1: They're doing very well, and people really really dig them.

1782
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: And I think I might have to read his fiction

1783
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:37,040
Speaker 1: because I've already read his nonfiction. It was excellent. Well,

1784

Speaker 1: let's get two because we don't have a long time

Speaker 1: podcast it's gonna start going early. I even have a

1796
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:15,360
Speaker 1: day for you as of September twenty third podcast is

1797
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 1: going to be up every day by three eastern Bam.

1798
01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, Producer Mark, get excited. Maybe earlier

1799
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: if I'm good at my job. Maybe a little earlier,

1800
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:27,680
Speaker 1: if Producer Mark doesn't have to, you know, take a

1801
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:29,880
Speaker 1: cigarette break. You don't smoke, do you? I don't know. No,

1802
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to kill myself. Wow. Look at you

1803
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:35,960
Speaker 1: smokers across the country here flicking their cigarettes at producer Mark.

1804
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:42,040
Speaker 1: From Afar Ryan Rights. You talked about the rotten Tomatoes

1805
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 1: ratings of Sticks and Stones versus the ratings of viewers.

1806
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:50,759
Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes ratings come mostly from critics writing for lefty

1807
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:53,920
Speaker 1: papers and magazines. I find their ratings are often in

1808
01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: conflict with the ratings of viewers, and this, to me

1809
01:40:56,640 --> 01:41:00,160
Speaker 1: shows the disconnect between the woke media and normal citizen.

1810
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 1: Very rarely will a movie or show get good Tomato

1811
01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 1: ratings unless there's a left wing agenda, if it's a drab,

1812
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 1: artsy and super boring. In fact, I find the ratings useful.

1813
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:11,600
Speaker 1: I can generally determine if it's going to be a

1814
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 1: good show by the low ratings you think critics would

1815
01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:17,839
Speaker 1: rate on a consensus mindset, but it seems most critics

1816
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 1: want to virtue signal and appear to be intellectually superior

1817
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:25,880
Speaker 1: to the general viewer. Yeah, no, I agree. I think

1818
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:28,680
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of people who are in

1819
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 1: the ratings business are now. I mean, you get the

1820
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:36,600
Speaker 1: woke left wing crowd, there's no question about that. You

1821
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 1: have people who are overwhelmingly going to be you know,

1822
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:46,240
Speaker 1: democrats left and now they also I think there's a

1823
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:48,640
Speaker 1: little bit of fear involved too. I think there's a

1824
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:53,040
Speaker 1: little bit of you know, if you say a movie

1825
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:56,719
Speaker 1: is good and it's among your peers considered not woke

1826
01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:59,920
Speaker 1: or social justice problematic or anything else, you know, then

1827
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:05,520
Speaker 1: I think you might suffer. People are worried about suffering consequences.

1828
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:07,240
Speaker 1: You know that you won't be considered part of the

1829
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:11,120
Speaker 1: of the in crowd anymore. So yeah, no, I agreed. You.

1830
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:13,639
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of very good movies. I'm pretty

1831
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:17,679
Speaker 1: sure that three hundred, for example, had like terrible, terrible

1832
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 1: critics ratings and was just a you know, three hundred

1833
01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 1: was amazing. It's an amazing movie. I mean, you know,

1834
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 1: it's not like high cinema anything, but it's so entertaining

1835
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:33,960
Speaker 1: it's so fun. And there you go. Benjamin Writ's book,

1836
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned you might be visiting Nashville in the near future.

1837
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:40,400
Speaker 1: When might that be? My wife and I would love

1838
01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: to meet you since we live nearby Shields High. Um, well,

1839
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:47,800
Speaker 1: ben I'm gonna be at politic Con, which is a

1840
01:42:47,800 --> 01:42:55,519
Speaker 1: big political event for pundits pretty much in Nashville. So yeah,

1841
01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:58,760
Speaker 1: that's what I think. Uh, there you go. You can

1842
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:00,720
Speaker 1: you can show up at I think politicons open to

1843
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,240
Speaker 1: the public because they want viewers. I'm pretty sure. Then

1844
01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:05,440
Speaker 1: you just buy a ticket, so I'll be a Politicon.

1845
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: There you go. That's the next time I will be

1846
01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Jeremy, I'm gonna stop doing that, sorry, Jeremy.

1847
01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 1: On the Dicks Sporting Goods and Walmart gun sales, Dick

1848
01:43:17,880 --> 01:43:20,599
Speaker 1: decided to make a public announcement supporting gun bands and

1849
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: refused to sell certain guns in February twenty eighteen. Their

1850
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:26,559
Speaker 1: stock just had a major drop in the past two years,

1851
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 1: from sixty dollars to twenty five dollars a share. When

1852
01:43:29,560 --> 01:43:32,480
Speaker 1: they made the announcement, they were at thirty four dollars.

1853
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:34,719
Speaker 1: Since then, they've been between thirty four to thirty six,

1854
01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:37,920
Speaker 1: with a peak for a week around forty. Nike took

1855
01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:39,960
Speaker 1: a hit for a couple months, but is back to

1856
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:42,719
Speaker 1: where they were when they signed Kaepernick, although I still

1857
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:45,840
Speaker 1: buy all their brands. Walmart, on the other hand, has

1858
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:48,880
Speaker 1: been phasing firearms out of their stores for a while.

1859
01:43:49,439 --> 01:43:52,559
Speaker 1: They decided to quietly stop selling certain ammunition after the

1860
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:55,439
Speaker 1: El Paso shooting, but the media found out and made

1861
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: a big deal about it. Firearms is not their major

1862
01:43:58,080 --> 01:43:59,840
Speaker 1: selling points, so I don't see them taking a hit

1863
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:03,519
Speaker 1: over this. I'm just gonna have to believe your numbers, Jeremy,

1864
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: because I don't. I don't know. I'll top my head.

1865
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm not an investor in Walmart or in Dick's Sporting Goods.

1866
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:16,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's see we have Sandy. I just wrote

1867
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 1: an email to Walmart that I will no longer shop there.

1868
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: I let them know my gun harms. No one bad

1869
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:24,280
Speaker 1: people do well. Sandy. You're allowed to voice your opinion

1870
01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 1: in this way, and there you have it. I got

1871
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:29,840
Speaker 1: a little testy today on Twitter with Verizon FiOS because

1872
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:32,800
Speaker 1: they made me wait for three hours for somebody who

1873
01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:34,519
Speaker 1: had turned out was never going to show up in

1874
01:44:34,560 --> 01:44:38,360
Speaker 1: the first place. The mistake was on their end. You know,

1875
01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:40,559
Speaker 1: that's three hours of my life sitting around, you know,

1876
01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: gotta have the phone there. Yeah, I was able to

1877
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:45,360
Speaker 1: read and prep for the show, but you know, I

1878
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:47,640
Speaker 1: wasn't planning on being home for three hours and not

1879
01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:50,519
Speaker 1: able to leave my apartment. So I don't like that.

1880
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:52,320
Speaker 1: So I let them know, and then I love the

1881
01:44:52,439 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 1: DMU if if you tweet at them, the dmure like,

1882
01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:55,720
Speaker 1: how can we help you? I'm like, can you give

1883
01:44:55,720 --> 01:44:59,599
Speaker 1: me three hours of my life back? No? Okay, how

1884
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:02,479
Speaker 1: about how how about just waive my cable fee which

1885
01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 1: is outrageously high for one month or even one week?

1886
01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, we can't do that. So in what way

1887
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:11,720
Speaker 1: are they really offering with these customer service things? Are

1888
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 1: they really offering to help you? Maybe all of the

1889
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 1: answer is they're not. They're not offering to help. So

1890
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 1: that's just that's the way it is. Sean The Army

1891
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:26,559
Speaker 1: of Darkness, starring Bruce Campbell, is a cult classic. I

1892
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 1: had sounding boards full of movie quotes and sounds back

1893
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:31,920
Speaker 1: in the mid nineties. The movie is the third in

1894
01:45:31,960 --> 01:45:34,120
Speaker 1: the original Evil Dead series, but can be watched by

1895
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:36,439
Speaker 1: itself due to the quick history scene at the beginning

1896
01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:38,760
Speaker 1: of the movie. If you do find it enjoyable, you

1897
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:41,680
Speaker 1: may also appreciate the series Ash Versus Evil Dead that

1898
01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:45,720
Speaker 1: is currently available on Netflix. All right, Sean, well, thank

1899
