1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt team in September eleventh.

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: We will talk about what this day means and what

3
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: we should do about it going forward. Coming up from

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show. This is the bus Sexton Show,

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence, what magnor mistake American enemy? You're

7
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: a great American again, The buck Sexton Show begins analyst,

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: He's a great guy. No. Eighteen years ago, the terrorists

9
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: struck this citadel of power and American strength. But the

10
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: enemy soon learned that they could not weaken the spirit

11
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: of our people. In times of distress, the heart of

12
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: the American patriot only grows stronger and more determined. The

13
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: American people will never forget or ever fail to be

14
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: inspired by the courage of the men and women to

15
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: Flight ninety three. We honor them by remembering them, and

16
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: we honor them by resolving here and now that we

17
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: will do as they did, each of us and all

18
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: of our varied roles, to prevent such evil from ever

19
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: reaching our shores again. Even in the midst of the attack,

20
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: the world witnessed the awesome power of American defiance. Forty

21
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: passengers and crew on Flight ninety three rose up, fought back,

22
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: and thwarted the enemy's wicked plans. In their final moments,

23
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: these American heroes thunderously declared that we alone decide our fate.

24
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: We saw American perseverance in the valued New York firefighters,

25
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: police officers, first responders, military, and every day citizens who

26
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: raced into the crashing towers to rescue innocent people. Welcome

27
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: to the Buck Section show. Everyone. September eleventh, the day

28
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: that we all remember. I'm sure every single one of

29
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: you recalls exactly where you were on that day, what

30
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: you were thinking. I have told you before. I was

31
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: walking to a class up at Amherst College. The professor

32
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: looked at us all very gravely and said that there

33
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: has been a plane that has run into has flown

34
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: into one of the twin towers, and I think you

35
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: should all go back and turn on the news. And

36
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: we did, and I remember seeing the second plane hit.

37
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Because my dorm was right next to the where the

38
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: classroom was, I was able to get back very quickly,

39
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: and I saw that second plane hit, and then I

40
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: watched and watched, and then saw the towers collapse. Born

41
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: and raised in this city, but first and foremost an American,

42
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: not a New Yorker. I knew that we had been

43
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: attacked and we were going to war. I remember saying,

44
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: actually to my friends, we're going to war. I didn't

45
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: know against two or what at the time, just was

46
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: quite obvious that this was the worst attack we had

47
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: suffered since Pearl Harbor. I didn't know at the time,

48
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: but I would end up finding myself in two wars

49
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: that would result from that day, one in a rock,

50
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: one in Afghanistan. And here we are now eighteen years later,

51
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: and the memory is very fresh for me. I'm sure

52
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: this form many of you as well. I also remember

53
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: being on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where I

54
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: grew up and seeing the first and only time in

55
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: my life. I think I still have photos of it

56
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: somewhere all up and down the Avenue American flags. There

57
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: were something different in the era. President Trump and Vice

58
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: President Pence were referring to it today in their remarks.

59
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: We knew we had been hit. It was devastating, we

60
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: lost many thousands of our own. We also knew that

61
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: we would rally, and that the greatest country, really the

62
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: greatest civilization the world has ever known American civilization was

63
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: going to show the world our resolve and not be

64
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: cowed by this, not be broken by it. And then

65
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: it led to many people from my generation and a

66
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: generation or two above me as well, joining the fight

67
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: in one way or another, whether in the military or

68
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: deciding that they wanted to be heroes, like those NYPD

69
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: and f D and Y individuals who gave their lives

70
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: trying to evacuate those towers that day. Then you also

71
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: had people who saw the courage of what happened on

72
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: flight ninety three and recognize that it is on all

73
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 1: of us to stare down and take action against evil

74
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: when evil presents itself. It is on all of us

75
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: to understand that there can be no bystanders when you

76
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: are faced with a threat like we were that day

77
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: of Islamic jihadism that viewed itself as in a civilizational

78
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: war against us, and that was seeking our destruction, the

79
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: downfall of our society, the elimination of our freedoms, and

80
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: with it, who knows how many generations, not just here

81
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: in America but around the world left to much lesser

82
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: lives than they would have otherwise, had much less liberty, freedom,

83
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: prosperity hope. I still remember very well what it was

84
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: like that day. I'm sure you do too. I believe

85
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: some of you, I would assume we're directly affected by

86
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: what happened. I think that unfortunately the country has reached

87
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: a point now where we don't think of nine to

88
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: eleven the way that we should all the time, which

89
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: is a reminder of how fragile our liberty really is.

90
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: That there are people, there are forces in this world

91
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: that would seek to take it away, and that we

92
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: have to be willing to meet evil head on. That

93
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: there is no international body, there's no way of just

94
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: finding agreement common ground with everyone all over the world

95
00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: who would otherwise seek to take up arms against Sometimes

96
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: we have to actually meet force with force. Nine to

97
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: eleven is a day that we say we will never forget.

98
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I think unfortunately, far too many of our fellow Americans

99
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: have started to forget it. There is a strain of

100
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: left wing ideology in this country. I think the dominant

101
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: belief among the American left is that we overreacted to

102
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. I even remember, on the day of

103
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: the attacks, I was told by, or rather in front

104
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: of the whole school a professor stood up and claimed

105
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: that this was a response to US foreign policy, that

106
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: more or less we got this because we deserved this.

107
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: That was a sentiment that you heard in some quarters

108
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: the day it happened, and the days after it happened,

109
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: when it was quite fresh that we had lost almost

110
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: three thousand of our own in cowardly, disgusting, psychotic suicide,

111
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: murderer tax. My friends, this world that we live in, now,

112
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: this reality that we all inhabit, who are in this country,

113
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: of the good guys win, that's only the case because

114
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: there are good guys who are willing to give their

115
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: lives so it will continue to be true. And gals,

116
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: of course, it's only the case because there are people

117
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: who stand up and are ready to do violence on

118
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: our behalf, two men who would seek to destroy us

119
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: because of our liberty, because of our freedom. I remember

120
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: we used to call it the Global War on Terror,

121
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: and then after fighting it for a number of years,

122
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: leftists came along and try to change it so that

123
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: we shouldn't call it that it's a fight against a tactic.

124
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: And then there were even movies that were made that

125
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: seemed to want to shift this into being almost a

126
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: natural disaster. It was not a natural disaster. It was

127
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: a day that the that its dates was hit with

128
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: evil and we were caught napping. Let's be very clear

129
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: about it. We were not prepared for what was coming

130
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: our way. That's another lesson we should never forget. It's

131
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: certainly something that we had never experienced since Pearl Harbor,

132
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: and I hope we never have to experience it again.

133
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: I hope that my children and your children and so

134
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: forth never have to have a day where they wonder,

135
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: is the world ever going to be the same and

136
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: is it only going to get worse from here? I

137
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: had that thought. I thought maybe we would be involved

138
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: in endless wars, mass casualties, massive casualties on our side.

139
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Who knew where this was really going to go. What

140
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: if the enemy had gotten weapons of mass destruction already?

141
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: What if they had acquired nuclear material. What if they

142
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: were going to destroy a US city, unleash biological weapons

143
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: that could kill thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands or more.

144
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: What does the world look like then, What happens to

145
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: global markets, what happens to rule of law? It was

146
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: a scary day. It's very easy now to look back

147
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: on it and think well, we were going to be fine.

148
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: We're the most powerful country in the world, and then

149
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: you get into this lulling ourselves into a sense of

150
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: fall security today, as if this could not happen again,

151
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: as if there's no scenario in which the United States

152
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: could be the victim of a sneak attack that kills

153
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: thousands and upends our very way of life and makes

154
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: us feel at a core level deeply unsafe, makes us

155
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: all worry if the future that we thought we would

156
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: have as Americans was really going to be ours anymore.

157
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: So I wish that they would spend an hour every

158
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: year replaying exactly what happened in that first hour of

159
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: the attack on the various news channels. I think that

160
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: would be a way to pay proper Homa chair in

161
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: addition to the different memorials. And but I think that

162
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: that's something that we will forget what it really felt

163
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: like that day as time passes, and there are lessons

164
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: that we should never ever forget. We'll get into more

165
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: of this team in just a moment, stay would me

166
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: my son, Kenneth Joseph Marino. Being a firefight is not

167
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: a job, it's a calling. Not everyone can do what

168
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: a firefight it does, and especially what they did on

169
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: September eleven, running into burning buildings when everyone else was

170
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,239
Speaker 1: running out, knowing that they may not make it out themselves.

171
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: Yet they continue to do what they were called upon

172
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: to do and saved many lives on a horrific day.

173
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: As we all know, many firefighters did not make it out,

174
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: and my son, Kenny was one of them. He left

175
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: behind his wife, a twenty month both son and the

176
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: three year old daughter, but his spirit lives within his

177
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: children and he would be so crowded them to day. Well,

178
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: we are hungled by Kenny's actions and the actions of

179
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: all the first responders. Eighteen years has not listened, our laws,

180
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: our lives have been forever changed, but we hold on

181
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: to and cherished the moment fields shared. I remember during

182
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: my time at the NYPD Intelligence Division, occasionally there would

183
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: be some reference by MYPD veterans, guys who've been in

184
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: the force a long time. They would just come up

185
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: that they knew somebody who was in the tower that day,

186
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: that they lost one of one of ours. They would say,

187
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: one of the police officers who rushed into the buildings

188
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: tried to evacuate people, and it's very likely. I mean,

189
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: they can never know the exact number, but the estimates

190
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: are that our first responders law enforcement saved perhaps a

191
00:12:52,280 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: few thousand lives that day by the orderly evacuation. It's difficult,

192
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: it's traumatic when you go back and read the transcripts,

193
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: listen to just exactly what happened. Then I today heard

194
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: a voicemail. You know, they had these voicemails that were

195
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: left behind of people that were on one of the

196
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: planes that after it was clear they were being hijacked

197
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: and used as weapons, and that it was unlikely that

198
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: anybody on the plane was going to survive. And that

199
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: choked me up today actually still does just thinking about it.

200
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: So you have to at some level go back there.

201
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: You have to remind yourself of exactly what we faced

202
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: and what happened and the losses that we sustained. Then

203
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: you also have to take away from it the bravery

204
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: that was on display by our own the first responders,

205
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: the Todd Beemer and those with him on flight ninety

206
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: three that day. It was a reminder that we are

207
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: never we are never without recourse, that the bravery of

208
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: the righteous can overcome anything. But man NYPD, F D

209
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: and y they were. They were never really quite the

210
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: same after that in terms of cherishing. I think the

211
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: work that each and every one of them was doing

212
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: every day. There was a feeling here in the city.

213
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: I came into New York soon after nine to eleven,

214
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: there was a sense that this country had come together,

215
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: and I do think we missed that sometimes now I

216
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: think we missed it a lot. It didn't last all

217
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: that long. We're going to talk about the politics of

218
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: this in a moment, because there are idiot leftists out there,

219
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: including members of Congress and also major media outlets that

220
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: have acted like fools today, total fools. And what's perhaps

221
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: even more unsettling is they've shown us what they really

222
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: think of nine to eleven, that they still don't get it,

223
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: or perhaps they reject some very important realities of that day.

224
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: There is a movement right now. I cannot even I

225
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: can't say it without getting angry. But I'll just tell

226
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: you today you had over at CNN on the anniversary

227
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: of nine to eleven doing a quote reality check under

228
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: the headline America's nine to eleven Amnesia, and then in

229
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: the big screen behind one of their one of their

230
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: anchors was right wingers are America's deadliest terrorists. That's right,

231
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: on today, of all days. We have to be told

232
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: this idiotic lie. It is not true, But we have

233
00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: to be told that conservatives are the real threat. Yet

234
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: nineteen hijackers, fifteen of them Saudi Arabia, nineteen of them Muslims,

235
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: and we have to be told that it is our

236
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: own domestic American conservatism that we should all be worried about.

237
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: And there were some corrections that different media outlets have

238
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: had to make in the last few days that I

239
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: think we're particularly illuminating. Perhaps foremost among them was the

240
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: New York Times today. This was you couldn't if you thought,

241
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: if you said this might happen, people would tell you no,

242
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: They're not that obvious about trying to make this seem

243
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: like it was a natural disaster, like this wasn't the

244
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: result of an enemy that had been at war with

245
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,359
Speaker 1: us for a long time. In fact, really an ideology

246
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: that has been at war with us, with America in

247
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: one form or another, stretching back to the founding, you

248
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: can go back to the war against the Barbary pirates,

249
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: Jeff and Adams and the emissary from the Barbary States,

250
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: telling our own Secretary of State that they make war

251
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: on us because the Koran tells them that they can,

252
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: and that we are infidels, and that that is just

253
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: the way it is going to be. A lot of

254
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: people reject this history and say that that's not really

255
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: something that we need to focus on. I mean, I

256
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: didn't learn anything about the Barbary pirates in school. I've

257
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: had to learn on my own. The New York Times meanwhile,

258
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: has a different view of what happened that day, it seems,

259
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: because they shared from their official Twitter account on September

260
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: eleventh today. Earlier today, eighteen years have passed since airplanes

261
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: took aim and brought down the World Trade Center. Today,

262
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: families will once again gather and grieve at the site

263
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: where more than two thousand people died. Airplanes took aim. Folks,

264
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: it was those rogue airplanes. Perhaps there was a mechanical

265
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: failure on all of them at once. Something must have

266
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: gone wrong in the airplanes because they took aim. These

267
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: inanimate objects. No nineteen human beings who are part of

268
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: a coherent aggressive, colonialist and world dominating if they get

269
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: their way ideology, came up with a plan to try

270
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: to ruin this country where people live in freedom and

271
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: happiness and decency in civilized fashion. They try to ruin

272
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: that it was human beings, it was an enemy, it

273
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: was an ideology, It was radical Islam. New York Times

274
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: wanted us to forget that. Today I have to ask why,

275
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: how could they make that mistake. We'll get into that

276
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: Care was founded after nine eleven because they recognized that

277
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: some people did something and that all of us were

278
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: starting to lose access to our civil liberties. Some people

279
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: did something. It's a sitting member of the United States

280
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: Congress Democrat from Minnesota. Some people did something. I think

281
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: it's a pretty big damn thing that they did, and

282
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: a horrible one and a life altering life taking in

283
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: so many thousands of cases. One but this mentality, this

284
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: idea that there should be a revisiting, a revisionism around

285
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. It's not new. It's been there for

286
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: quite some time. And there are people on the left

287
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: who have never really been honest about what happened that day.

288
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: There are many people in the Democratic Party who still

289
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: think that the biggest problem was, in fact, the Islamophobia

290
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: that resulted from nine to eleven now I will tell

291
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: you this, and I've said in years passed on radio,

292
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it bears repeating the fact

293
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: that we had nineteen hijackers, all of whom were Muslim,

294
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: engage in this mass casualty attack, this act of war

295
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: and cowardice against the American people, and there were so

296
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: few cases I'm not saying there were none, but so

297
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 1: few cases of retaliation of violent bigotry against the Muslim

298
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: community in this country is just a testament to who

299
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: we are as people. Who we are as Americans. We

300
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: recognize that every individual is is only responsible for his

301
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: or her actions. You don't punish people because someone else

302
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: did something who looks like them, praised like them, comes

303
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: from the same place as them. That would be immoral,

304
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: and you can't fight immorality by becoming evil yourself. But

305
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: I don't think we get enough credit as a country,

306
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,239
Speaker 1: if anything, for that that it was a reminder of

307
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: just how decent, intolerant, and kind and generally speaking loving

308
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: the American people are to each other day to day.

309
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: Instead the narrative you often hear from the left as well,

310
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: there was a rise in hate crimes that we you

311
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: know that that's the biggest threat today. The New York

312
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: Times had a whole page of editorials that had only

313
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: one only one editorial on September eleventh, on the anniversary

314
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: of this attack that even dealt with the attack, and

315
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: it was to talk about the first person perspective of

316
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: somebody who was concerned about the otherness and loss of

317
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: civil liberties that he was concerned about as a Muslim American.

318
00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:00,719
Speaker 1: That's it. Nothing about the sacrifice of so many who

319
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: served in our military who went over to root out

320
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: these terrorists, which was absolutely needed. Was the right response

321
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: to go into Afghanistan and eradicate al Qaeda and their

322
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Taliban hosts. We lost people in that fight. And yes,

323
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: there were a lot of terrorists, by the way, in

324
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: Iraq as well. We could talk about whether they showed

325
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: up after Saddam fell or whether they were there in

326
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: the first place, depends on who and what we're what

327
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: we're looking at specifically. But some of the most evil

328
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: jihadest imaginable were taken off the battlefield in Iraq as well,

329
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: and that was by our military, particularly our Special Operations community,

330
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: going after high value targets. Yes, there are liberals today

331
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: who would rather move past this and pretend that it

332
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: was something other than what it was. It was a natural,

333
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: Desig asked her. It was aberrant. It had nothing to

334
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 1: do with Islamic radicalism specifically. It was just this one group,

335
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: this one small subset of radical Islam that attacked us

336
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: on that day, and maybe US foreign policy had been

337
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: a little too hubristic for a while and this was

338
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: a way of keeping us in check. There are liberals

339
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: who make those arguments, there are leftists who believe this stuff.

340
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 1: I can't imagine anybody saying in reference to nine to eleven,

341
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, some people skipping past it like it's a footnote.

342
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: Some people did something, and this from someone who had

343
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: to flee a country that is a mess to come

344
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: to this country, which welcomed her not just with open arms,

345
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: but made her a member of our elected body. But

346
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: nine to eleven's a footnote. Nine eleven is something that

347
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: you just referenced in passing as though it was really

348
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: just in the course of normal American history and things happen.

349
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Some people did something stunning. But there's a lot that

350
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: you can look to today to show you that the

351
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: politics of nine to eleven are still being fought out

352
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: in public. There are leftist media organizations that really think

353
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: that they should focus they should use Not eleven to

354
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: focus on the real threat, which is Trump's fascism and

355
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: right wing extremism. And as I've done before, if we're

356
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: going to talk about where we have to look for

357
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: the real threat of terrorism, let's look, for example, at

358
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: the percentage of the population that would be fall under

359
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:52,239
Speaker 1: under the white conservative male that the media outlets want

360
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: to tell us is the main terrorist threat, and then

361
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: the percentage of the population that would fall under what

362
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: could be radical Islam. And then you crunch the numbers,

363
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: you say, wow, there's definitely a disparity here, isn't there.

364
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: That's perhaps a conversation we'll get into more another day.

365
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: But it's a hard day to day. I really mean

366
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: that I think about I go back in my mind

367
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: every year, and I'm not particularly active on social media.

368
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: I don't write a reflection every your My reflection is this.

369
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: It's this show and what I consider throughout the day,

370
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: and like so many of you, how it changed my life.

371
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: I remember, before nine to eleven, I thought America was

372
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: just the good guys had won and everything the world

373
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: was just going to keep getting better and wealthier and

374
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: safer and happier, and the fights that my generation would

375
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: have would be around, you know, minor things or manageable

376
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: domestic things. You know, how do we almost entirely eliminate

377
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: violent crime? How do we make sure that, you know,

378
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: everybody has access to a good home and education and

379
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: all the things that we talk about as a country

380
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: all the time. And then this happened, and a few

381
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: million of my fellow Americans answered the call and decided

382
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: that they were going to show up and fight for

383
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: their country. I have to say, for all this talk

384
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: that you hear, it has become very commonplace to have

385
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: all this stuff about how you know, millennial, oh, millennials this,

386
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: and millennials that millennials are so bratty and Okay, well,

387
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm technically a millennial, and I know a lot of

388
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: millennials that said, sign me up for my country. I

389
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: will give my life. You tell me where to go,

390
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: you tell me where the bad guys are. Let's do

391
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: this the bar from Todd Biemer, Let's roll. I think

392
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: we have to remember those millennials and Gen X and

393
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: jen Y and boomers and everybody else who showed up.

394
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: But I'm part of what I think you could term

395
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: the nine to eleven generation, people who were adults and

396
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: of military fighting age when this thing happened, and there

397
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: were a lot of people who their lives changed, and

398
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: people also gave their lives in response to this one event,

399
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: this one day. It is a formative, a formative day

400
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: for America, one that will be with us forever. And

401
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: it's a question of what we do as a result

402
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: and how we go forward. So we must remember what

403
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: the attack was, who came after us, and why, and

404
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: then take courage and take some degree of hope from

405
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: the fact that we rallied as the nation that we

406
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: know we are and men. We should be proud of

407
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: all those who served and took the fight to the enemy,

408
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: and also just proud of the way that America responded

409
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: as a country. Overwhelmingly, we rallied as one. Let's talk

410
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: about a little bit of the aftermath of the bull

411
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: the situation. I've got more for you. Stay with me.

412
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: Some people did something, said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota,

413
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: to support and justify the creation of care. Today, I

414
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: am here to respond to you exactly who did what,

415
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: to whom madam. Objectively speaking, we know who and what

416
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: was done. There is no uncertainty about that. Why your confusion?

417
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: On that day, nineteen Islamic terrorists, members of al Qaida

418
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: killed over three thousand people and caused billions and dollars

419
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: of economic damage. Is that clear? But as to whom

420
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: I was attacked? Your relatives and friends were attacked, Our

421
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: constitutional freedoms were attacked, and our nation's founding on Judeo

422
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: Christian principles were attacked. That's what some people did. Got that.

423
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: Now we are here today, foundress woman, to tell you

424
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: in the squad, just who did what to whom? I'm

425
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: sure he's a fact in honoring them? Please, American patriotism,

426
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean your position demanded for God in country. Amen.

427
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: Nine eleven victims Son there calling out the words of

428
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: a representative Omar today at a nine eleven remembrance ceremony.

429
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: I just I thought you should hear those words. So

430
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: I told you we would talk about Bolton. I don't

431
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: want to talk about him much more, just a couple

432
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: of minutes and then we'll move on to some other things.

433
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: The warn't Afghanistan, ending the war in Afghanistan, which I

434
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: think is in some ways, that would be the most

435
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: fitting takeaway after this week of rememberance would be Okay,

436
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: let's remember what happened, and then let's also remember that

437
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: we should not expend one more life in that country

438
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: than is absolutely necessary. I've had too many losses already,

439
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: too much mission creep, too much drift, too much lack

440
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: of focus, lack of a strategic imperative. Enough is enough.

441
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: Then you have to think about who makes these decisions

442
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: and who's in charge Bolton and I think you know

443
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: where I stand on Bolton in general. But all of

444
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, now the left is very concerned that Democrats

445
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: are so concerned? How could you get rid of Bolton?

446
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: If you had asked any Democrat six months ago, what

447
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: do you think of Ambassador John Bolton? They would their

448
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: national security advisor slash Ambassador Bolton. They would have said,

449
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's a madman, wants to invade countries, bloodthirsty's

450
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: a warmonger. That if it all kinds of horrible things. Ah.

451
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: But this week, this news cycle, there's some possibility that

452
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: attacking Bolton is a way, or rather, defending Bolton is

453
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: a way of attacking Trump, And so it all changes. Actually,

454
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: they say, Bolton's like really smart and an adult in

455
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: the room, and getting rid of him is a terrible

456
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: thing for Trump. That who just goes to show that

457
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Trump is in disarray and you can't trust his judgment

458
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: and doesn't know anything, doesn't understand anything you have. For example,

459
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: Senator Chris Coons is very upset at the prospect of,

460
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: or rather at the news of Bolton's firing. Well, Bolton

461
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: was President Trump's third national security advisor. Obviously Flynn had

462
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: the briefest tenure. I think there's a lot that we

463
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: need to know about what caused this abrupt firing by

464
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: tweet of the president's national security advisor, what the policy

465
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: differences were, and what this means about stability America's place

466
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: in the world and the decision making team that surrounds

467
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: our president. This is all nonsense. First of all, the

468
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: little swipe that he took at Flynn, who was set

469
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: up by deep staters at the dj and FBI, people

470
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: like Sally Yates, who abused the spirit of the law,

471
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: if not the letter of the law, in order to

472
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,719
Speaker 1: take out someone they politically disapproved of. It was disgusting

473
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: what they did to Flynn. I don't care if you

474
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: lie or not. You never should have been put in

475
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: that position in the first place. But here you have

476
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: Senator Coon saying that we have to worry about stability. Well,

477
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: you could have one national security advisor for a really

478
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: long time. It doesn't mean that any decisions are good.

479
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: And this is also where people have a very limited

480
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: understand including members of Congress, and most people in Congress

481
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: to talk about foreign policy are intellectual dilettants on the subject.

482
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: At best. They're not knowledgeable. They're not thoughtful. They don't

483
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: know history, they don't know policy. They just know what

484
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: they have to say to stay in good stead with

485
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: their own party and to keep the donation dollars rolling

486
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: in and get reelected. That's what they're concerned about when

487
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: it comes to foreign policy. They're really not thoughtful on

488
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: the issue at all. I'm actually usually deeply unimpressed with

489
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: Congress on matters of statecraft abroad. Most members of Congress

490
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: I have on some issues, really very much agreed with

491
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: Senator Lindsey Graham. Sometimes on foreign policy we do not

492
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: particularly see, although I think as foreign policy changes quite

493
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: a bit, I do agree with them on this. Whether

494
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: Bolton resigned or was fired. It doesn't matter, and he's

495
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: darn right on that one. Did you Buller resigned or

496
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: the president? I don't know, And again I don't think

497
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: it matters. I think he served honorably and I appreciate

498
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: his service to our country. And the president has right

499
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: to choose somebody has trust in, and we'll get a

500
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: new national security advisor here soon. Plenty of people can

501
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: do this job. There are a lot of folks who

502
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: have fantastic intellectual, academic, and service credentials to do this job.

503
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: You know, they've served their country in one role or

504
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: another and would be an excellent Remember, this is an

505
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: advisory role to the president. The President's got plenty of advisors.

506
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 1: There's lots of information out there for him to glean.

507
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: And this is not some crisis they want to make

508
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: it seem like, oh my gosh, without a bolt and disarray.

509
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: How many White House disarray stories have you seen? Has

510
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: any of it mattered? You know? Does it matter that

511
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: they told Taylorson to pass his bags and hit the road?

512
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: Does it matter they told Scaramucci a rivederci? I mean,

513
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: does it matter that they vooted? Uh? You know, you

514
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: know who? I can't even think of what's his name, Kelly.

515
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: I mean, these people served, some of them longer than others,

516
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: some of them more honorably than others. But they served,

517
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: and then the President's like, I don't want you to

518
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: do this anymore. Go do something else. That's it. They

519
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: try to overcomplicate this with these stories of oh, there's

520
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: a lock of stability. There are tons of people in

521
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: DC and across the country who could be very fit

522
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 1: advisors for the president on national security, where this is

523
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: not a crisis. It's not a problem. The only crisis

524
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: is that my phone hasn't rung yet. President Trump, I

525
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you, buddy. I'm here for you.

526
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: You need me. You're a lot better than Bolton. I'll

527
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: tell you that much can be right bad. We had

528
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: peace talks scheduled a few days ago. I called them

529
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: off when I learned that they had killed a great

530
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: American soldier from port Rico and eleven other innocent people.

531
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: They thought they would use this attack to show strength,

532
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: but actually what they showed is unrelenting weakness. The last

533
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: four days, we have hit our enemy harder than they

534
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: have ever been hit before. And that will continue, and

535
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: if for any reason they come back to our country.

536
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: We will go wherever they are and use power the

537
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: likes of which the United States has never used before.

538
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: And I'm not even talking about nuclear power. They will

539
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: never have seen anything like what will happen to them.

540
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: President Trump is right on the very important, very fundamental

541
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: position here of ending the war in Afghanistan, and in

542
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: my opinion, it needs to be done. I also understand

543
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: what that would mean, and I have said to you

544
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: we should all be quite clear on this. I did

545
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: not agree with the President inviting the Taliban to Camp David,

546
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: but perhaps he thought that that was just going to

547
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 1: get the final, you know, that final piece in place

548
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: for a truce. I did not think that was the

549
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 1: right move, But I think that he's right on a

550
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: much more important issue of what should happen now. How

551
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: should we end America's longest ever war, and whatever agreements

552
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: that we have from the Taliban, assurances we receive from

553
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: the Taliban, we should be very clear on this is

554
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: likely they will break some, if not all, of It

555
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: is likely that they will double cross whatever diplomatic agreements

556
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: we reach. It's just a question of when they think

557
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: it's in their interest to do it, how long we

558
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: wait for it to happen, and how bad the damages

559
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: when it happens. But that's where we are. The alternative, though,

560
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: is to just continue to think that if we have

561
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: about ten thousand or so troops stationed in this country,

562
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: things are going to get better. They're not going to

563
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: get better. We need to be willing to say that

564
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: we will end the war in Afghanistan. Remember the Taliman's

565
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: not in charge. Now, We've done a tremendous amount spent

566
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: so many billions of dollars mentoring training, assisting Afghan military,

567
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: Afghan police. At some point you have to take the

568
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 1: training wheels off this country and let it ride on

569
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: its own. And I think we're there and if something

570
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,720
Speaker 1: goes wrong, and I do believe there's a very decent

571
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: chance that that may be the case. If something does

572
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: in fact go wrong, we know this going into it,

573
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: that there is that risk. So I do believe that

574
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: President Trump is correct in trying to end this war

575
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. But I also think that and people have

576
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: asked me, why why do I feel differently, for example,

577
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: about the true presence in Iraq than I did about

578
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: troops troops in Afghanistan rather versus Iraq, and I would

579
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,479
Speaker 1: just say that in the case of Iraq, you have

580
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: a much you had a much more established central government, bureaucracy, infrastructure.

581
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: Iraq compared to Afghanistan, was a much more developed country

582
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: and had far greater resources. Remember, Iraq has a lot

583
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: of oil, folks, Iraq is not is not some you know,

584
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 1: dirt poor third world country that can't get any revenues going.

585
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean, they're doing, they're doing. I think in recent

586
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: years they've gotten upwards of eighty or ninety billion dollars

587
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: in oil revenue, and it might be even higher than

588
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: that now I should probably check and see exactly what

589
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: it is. But you know, Afghanistan has nothing like that.

590
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: In fact, the only real revenue stream that enough Stan

591
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: has ever had that started to feel like it could

592
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: go in that direction was the illegal heroin trade through

593
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: the opium poppies that they were growing. So I've got

594
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: to tell you, it's just a different it's a different country,

595
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 1: it's a different situation, just because those are two wars

596
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: that we that we started, or in the case of Afghanistan,

597
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: we were retaliated. But those are two wars that happened

598
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: close to each other. It doesn't mean that they're similar

599
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: strategic situations. It doesn't mean that the likelihood of success

600
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 1: is the same in both places. And we've done everything

601
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: we can do in Afghanistan. I have not heard one

602
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: person credibly say that the outcome at Afghanistan is likely

603
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: to be different if we stay longer. I haven't heard

604
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: a single person take that position, not one. What does

605
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: that tell you? What does that mean to you? Have

606
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: we learned the lesson? This is a time for this discussion.

607
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: It is the day of September eleventh. We remember what

608
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: it was to be attacked on that day. We have

609
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: been in Afghanistan for almost twenty years. I think that

610
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: Trump's warning to anyone who would use Afghanistan again as

611
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: a platform for a similar attack is well put. I

612
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: think that's exactly what our position should be. I'm here

613
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: in New York City. I grew up in this town.

614
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: Those were America. It was America who's attacked on that day,

615
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: but it was New Yorkers who were and DC area

616
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: residents for the most part. I know there are also

617
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: people on the plans who comprised the mass of the

618
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: casualties and if we got hit again anywhere in this

619
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: country or anywhere around the world that killed Americans in

620
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: a mass casualty attack, and we found out that it

621
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 1: was because the Taliban was harboring them. We're going to

622
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: go back and our ferocity is going to be a

623
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: thing that people will, I think be a bit astonished

624
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: at for the ages, but that's what we should do.

625
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: Otherwise we're just going to be in this country forever

626
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: trying to make it a better place than it is.

627
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 1: It's not on us. We can't make them have a

628
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: decent civil society. We can't make them have a country

629
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: with rule of law. I mean, I would just point,

630
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: I would point to look at the situation, say in

631
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 1: Japan or in France after the Second World War. Those

632
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: are countries that got up and running very quickly after

633
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: the war, and both have done very well since then.

634
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,720
Speaker 1: But they were far more established nation states, much further

635
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: along developmentally in terms of their civil society, in terms

636
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: of their national identity. Look, Afghanistan has a big problem

637
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: with where the loyalty of the population realies. Is it

638
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: to tribe or is it to country. If you are

639
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: a Pashtun from the South, from Hellman, from Kandahar, you

640
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: care more about fellow Pashtuns or do you care about

641
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: what the sent government in Kabble tells you. These are

642
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: problems for them to work out, not for us to

643
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: work out. So I do think that President Trump is

644
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: is correct here, and he's going to get a lot

645
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: of heat. I also worry that there are some people

646
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: with very loud voices in this debate who have not

647
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: just ideological but maybe even financial incentives for us to stay.

648
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: And as difficult as that even to just think about

649
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: anyone trying to direct US foreign policy toward a continued

650
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: military presence where we're taking casualties, where we're having to

651
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: engage the enemy because of dollars and cents. It's a

652
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: real thing, unfortunately, and I do believe that there are

653
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: some out there who would like to see a continued

654
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 1: presence in Afghanistan for that reason. But Trump wants to

655
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: get us out. I hope he's I hope he's successful.

656
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: There's no better takeaway from this this week in terms

657
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 1: of an immediate policy response than ending the war in Afghanistan.

658
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: I try to keep my politics separate from the stuff

659
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 1: that I write. The stories, because I think people like story,

660
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: people want story and you know, if they want the

661
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: news they want to, you know, the stuff, they can

662
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: go on and get on MSNBC, or they can go

663
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: on Fox or whatever. But sometimes life comes along and

664
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: imitates art steady the other way around. And as I

665
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: was rewriting this book, all at once I find out

666
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: Unlocking little Kids up in caging on the border, and

667
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, this type my book. Wow, that's

668
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: Stephen King. I've never read a Stephen King books. I'll

669
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 1: just be honest, but I've never read a novel by

670
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: Stephen King, so I can't speak to whether they're worthwhile

671
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: or not. I know he's been very, very very successful financially,

672
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: he sold a lot of books. But I thought that

673
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 1: was it was interesting one that you catch this with

674
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of liberals out there in

675
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: the entertainment media, where they say, well, you know, I

676
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: understand I should be entertaining people, but then I something

677
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: so important comes along, something so important comes along that

678
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: I had to just make a connection to politics. I

679
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: couldn't stand back from it. And I tell you, these days,

680
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,280
Speaker 1: I just don't even want to know sometimes because it'll

681
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: ruin something for me to find out that an individual

682
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: involved in it. You know, we'll say, well, you know,

683
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't even clearly in the Trump era. This is

684
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: why we need to know, you know, it's always this

685
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: is why I won't watch the what's the show where

686
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: the women go around and the bonnets, you know, because

687
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: they're all they're all super oppressed. They're actually oppressed, but

688
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: unlike women in America today. But you know, I'm talking

689
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: about the show with the bonnets and the weird they

690
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: look like a bunch of Puritans. Handmaid's Tale, the Handmaids.

691
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: I refuse to watch it because it's all, oh, this

692
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 1: is what would happen if Mike Pence were president. No, no, no,

693
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: all right, let's not be completely insane. Like Pence is

694
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: a very nice man, very nice family. He's not going

695
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: to make America into the Handmaid's Tale. He couldn't even

696
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: if he wanted to, and he doesn't want to. So

697
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 1: what are we even talking about? But I digress. Stephen

698
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: King here is saying that, you know, he has a

699
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: story and I don't even know what it is. That

700
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 1: there's a crossover or there's a connection between you know,

701
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: kids in cages and some of you who watched when

702
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: I was on Bill Maher a few weeks or now

703
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: about a month ago, and the former governor of Michigan,

704
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: Jennifer Granholm, at one point just turn I was trying

705
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: to talk to Bill about immigration and talk about it.

706
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't, you know, shouting or being aggressive

707
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: or anything. She just turned me and just yelled kids

708
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: in cages, kids in cages, as though that was the

709
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: argument ender that she had been looking for all night.

710
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: And I looked at her, like, this person was a

711
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: governor of a major state, Michigan, and we gotta have

712
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: a talk Michigan. Wherever you are, we gotta have a

713
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 1: chat about how well, then again, you're probably like yahbo,

714
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: you're in New York where the Cuomo's are a dynasty

715
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: and they run everything, and if you don't like it,

716
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: the lesser Cuomo will threaten to ruin your bleep and

717
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: bleeping throw you down a flight of bleeping stairs because

718
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 1: he's a bleeping CNN anchor. Do not call him Fraido.

719
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: So I guess it's not fair to hold Michigan responsible

720
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: for it's governor if we're not gonna hold New York

721
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,479
Speaker 1: responsible for its governor. Governor Cuomo Oh my I feel

722
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:44,839
Speaker 1: like one day I'm gonna meet him and he's gonna

723
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: be like, are you the one who does the very

724
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: loud and stupid impersonation of me? Nobody needs a bazuka

725
00:47:54,480 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: to kill a squirrel. We need bazuka reform. Now you'll

726
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: remember that too. He didn't exactly say that. It's a

727
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: little bit of exaggeration, but he did give quite a

728
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: speech about that back in the day. But you have

729
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: Graham looked at me and said that about kids in

730
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: cage and Stephen King is talking about how art imitates

731
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: life or life imitates art or whatever it is with

732
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: a book he wrote, and kids in Cages, And to

733
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: this I always want to ask, and I really mean this,

734
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: It would be an interesting exercise for me if I

735
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: could get one of these libs that is so just

736
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: freaked out about what's gone on in our southern border

737
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: with the enforcement of existing immigration laws. I would like

738
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: to walk them through what is really happening there and

739
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: ask what they think the policy should be, because I

740
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: think what you would invariably find out from some very

741
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: loud and opinionated leftists on the matter of immigration is

742
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: that anything short of open borders is going to be

743
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: insufficient for them, meaning any real enforcement of immigration laws

744
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: is unacceptable. But the moment you say to them, but

745
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: you are four open borders, there's a no, I'm not no,

746
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: of course not I can of that all right, Well,

747
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: that means that people don't just get to show up,

748
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: and not everyone who comes here, especially those who come

749
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: here in violation of laws, are going to get to stay.

750
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: And if they don't get to stay, that means you

751
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: have to deport them. And if you're going to deport them,

752
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: you have to detain them. If you're going to detain them,

753
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: you have to arrest them. And if you're going to

754
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,439
Speaker 1: arrest them, you do have to hold them in some

755
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: form of restricted movement facility, which is going to involve

756
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: fences or wires or walls or whatever. Not cages per se,

757
00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: but some form of restricted movement domicile. You're I have

758
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: to or else. Well, we're on the honor system. Yeah,

759
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: show up tomorrow. We're gonna have a bus here, and

760
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna deport you. If you don't show up, we're

761
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: gonna find you. We're gonna ask you again. Because we

762
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: can't detain you, that's mean we can't hold you. In

763
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,959
Speaker 1: a facility that you don't want to be in, that's

764
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: not comfortable, and where things you know aren't the way

765
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: you'd like them to be. The reality when I was

766
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: in the when I was at the border in at

767
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 1: Tijuana and San Diego, Sport of Patrol told me that

768
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: some of the illegals that would cross over and surrender,

769
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 1: remember that's illegal. You can't do that. It's cutting it's

770
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: quite literally cutting the line because you're supposed to go

771
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: to a port of entry and wait at that port

772
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: of entry, and if there's too many people at the

773
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: port of entry that day, you got to come back

774
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 1: the next day. If you surrender, it means you just

775
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: walk across the border and say here I am. That's

776
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 1: illegal because we have a system, because there are rules.

777
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: But I remember the border patrol agents telling me in

778
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: San Diego they would have a legal show up and

779
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: would start demanding I mean they would demand food right

780
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: away and they'd have to the border patrol aldience were

781
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: being told, you know, so when are you when are

782
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: you bringing me before they've even been processed, when are

783
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 1: you bring him my food? As if they're like a

784
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: maitre d service for illegal aliens I'm being serious. They

785
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: told me that this happened. Oh wow, I mean that's you.

786
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,879
Speaker 1: Don't You don't hear that story in the mainstream media,

787
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: do you? Yeah? Going to McDonald's. I know, I know

788
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: you're supposed to arrest me, because that's what you do

789
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: when someone breaks the law for violating the sovereign territory

790
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: of America and breaking US federal law, and they're supposed

791
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: to arrest me. But really, I know that Pelosi and

792
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: the Democrats and AOC are calling the shots here. So

793
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: why don't you Border Patrol Go get me a McDonald's

794
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: sandwich and I'll wait here. Thanks. That's a thing that

795
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: has happened. So while we're always being told how it's

796
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: about kids in cages, Stephen King is claiming that he's

797
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: clearly he's clearly making a comparison between a horror movie

798
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: or horror book or whatever it is and the Trump administration.

799
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: I just would like to know what is supposed Let's

800
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: take the kids in cages out of the out of

801
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: the equation for a second, because it has been out

802
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: of the equation because they don't hold children separately from

803
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: their families anymore. What is the acceptable degree of enforcement

804
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: of our border. What should the law say. Should the

805
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: law be that anybody who shows up across our border

806
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 1: just gets to stay? So oh no, no, no no, they

807
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: have a process. Okay, what if they don't show up

808
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: for the process, did they get to ported? And what

809
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,240
Speaker 1: if after they show up for the process, they don't

810
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: get what they want, which is a legal claim to

811
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: stay in America? Do they don't get to bord? If

812
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: you're going to keep saying no, then you're just you're

813
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: you're at an open border status, and you should as

814
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 1: a Democrat, as a lib and some Republicans like this stuff,

815
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: you should just admit that. But they never have any

816
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 1: answers about it. They just like the moral posturing of

817
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: we don't want kids in cages, as Democrats Republicans do.

818
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: They're the bad guys. Trump is the ultimate bad guy

819
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 1: because of this. All right, Well, that has that policy,

820
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: which was just enforcing the laws on the books. And

821
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: if anyone in this country gets arrested and they have

822
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: a baby with them, you know what's going to happen.

823
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 1: There's going to be a separation from that infant. There's

824
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,839
Speaker 1: going to be a separation from that child. That's what

825
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: happens to citizens every day in this country, So there's

826
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: a different set of laws I suppose we're supposed to

827
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 1: accept for illegal aliens. I'm not there yet. I'm not

828
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 1: willing to just accept that. And I do think that

829
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: if we were just able to have liberals sit down,

830
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: if we could just talk to them a bit more

831
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: about what it is that they really want to happen

832
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 1: at the border, a lot of them would recognize that

833
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: they've just been fed lies, and a lot of them

834
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: would recognize that no, they're four open borders. At least

835
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 1: then we would have honesty. Right now, what we have

836
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: is talking points, moral grandstanding, and people like Stephen King

837
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 1: saying Trump has created a nightmare at our border, worthy

838
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 1: of one of my books. It's just not true. There's

839
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 1: also been when it comes to communities of immigrants and

840
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: undercurrent of racism or nativism that was always under the

841
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: surface to some degree. Not that that was unfelt by

842
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: the people against whom it was directed, but at least

843
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 1: we attempted to form a more perfect union. We attempted

844
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: to live by the ideals that were foundational with the country,

845
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: that we're all created equal. We never quite got there,

846
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: but we never stopped trying until now, where you have

847
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: a president who is so openly nativist and racist. Betto

848
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: just says the same thing every day. I don't know

849
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: when he assumes that this is going to be profound.

850
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't know when he thinks this is going to

851
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: be a thing that all of a sudden, We're going

852
00:54:56,360 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: to pay attention to. Betto. But this is the dumbest

853
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: talking point that you will hear from the left. Is

854
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: just some variation of OMG, Trump and the Republicans are

855
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 1: so racist and this country has to deal with its

856
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,479
Speaker 1: legacy of racism, and let's just talk more about racism

857
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: and how racist everything is. This is the most This

858
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 1: is the most brainless thing that you will hear from

859
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: all the Democrat candidates all the time. They just do

860
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 1: different variations on the theme of, oh, well, all I

861
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: oppose racism, therefore I'm a good person. Republicans op post

862
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: racism too. I've said this before, and I think that

863
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: maybe it's doesn't really bear repeating on this show. But

864
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: the truth is, because I've said it so many times,

865
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: racism is anti conservative. You can't believe in individual dignity,

866
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: individual rights that we are created in God's image and

867
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: then we are all equal as human beings. Things that

868
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: you must think if you're a conservative, because if if

869
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: that's not true true, then why do we have inalienable rights?

870
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: Why are we created in God's image? I mean, if

871
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: we're not all equal, then that doesn't make it, That

872
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. You have to believe that every

873
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: individual human being is of equal worth as a human

874
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: being to every other in the eyes of the law

875
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: and in the eyes of God. Otherwise, what is conservatism

876
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: based on? Because why not just have us a superstate? Then?

877
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:31,479
Speaker 1: Because human beings have no inherent dignity, there's there's this

878
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: separation based on where we're from and everything. No, it

879
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,839
Speaker 1: is anti conservative to be to be racist, and we've

880
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: done so much in this country to overcome racism. And also,

881
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 1: if we're going to really look at this for a moment,

882
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: the truth is we actually get along really well as

883
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: a country and as a country that is quite diverse.

884
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: And I'm here in New York City and I'm walking

885
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: around on the streets, I'm on the subway. You see

886
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: people from every kind tree, every color, ethnicity, race, you

887
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: name it here and we're all just walking around doing

888
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: our things. No one's stopping and noticing and oh, look

889
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: at that person. That just doesn't happen here. It really

890
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,760
Speaker 1: feels like Beto O'Rourke and the Democrats on the race issue,

891
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: it's like they've created a fake version of America, a

892
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: version of America that's not what we're experiencing every day.

893
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: And this is why I think they've largely transitioned toe.

894
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying that the President is racist all the time,

895
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: even though the President will say he's not racist. He

896
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: believes all people are equal. He thinks that racism is terrible.

897
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 1: I wish that they would stop lying about what he

898
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: said at Charlottesville. They will not stop lying about it.

899
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: This is now. It's an unfortunate case study in how

900
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: repetition by an anti Trump media can overcome the fact

901
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: just you can do it yourself. Look at the transcript

902
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: of what was said what Trump said in Charlottesville. No

903
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: honest person could read that transcript and say, oh, he

904
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: was praising white nationalists. He explicitly said I am not

905
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: praising white nationalists. But but they still pretend that he

906
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: was praising white nationalists. That's the storyline that you always

907
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: get if racism in this country was so bad, maybe

908
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have so many race hoaxes that occur. As

909
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: we know, this is a much greater frequency than the

910
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: lip media ever wants to admit to. If racism was

911
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: so bad in this country, maybe they wouldn't have to

912
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 1: manufacture evidence of it from the President and the Republican Party,

913
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: which is what they do on a regular basis. But

914
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: I sit here and I just say to you, I

915
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: really hope that Peto Aurorica has gone soon because it's pathetic. Now.

916
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 1: It's not cute really anymore. It's not funny. I mean,

917
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: I know I like to do the betto impression, but

918
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: this is a guy who has abandoned any sense of

919
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: decency and fairness in his campaign to the other side,

920
00:58:56,080 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: to the other side's ideas, and it's just all it's

921
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: all posturing and nonsense, you know. I mean, this is

922
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: a guy who, first of all, his whole affect of mbutu,

923
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: no you're you're Robert Francis O'Rourke man like this This

924
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: thing is is if he wasn't first of all, if

925
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't a Democrat, he would not it would not

926
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: be okay from to pick up what would be considered

927
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: an ethnic Latino name like this and use it. If

928
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 1: you were a Republican, people would mock him for this,

929
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: or they wouldn't even mock him. They would say it's

930
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: a problem. They would criticize him all the time. So

931
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: you have to also remember that you have to keep

932
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: that in mind. Here he gets a pass on this

933
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: because I know we've been called it for a long time. Whatever,

934
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: he still gets a pass on it because he is

935
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,439
Speaker 1: a Democrat, as we know. Speaking of Democrats, there's some

936
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: movement here with Elizabeth Warren, who is all of a sudden.

937
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Here is what Jim Kramer over at CNBC had to

938
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: say about a war in presidency from the perspective of

939
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Wall Street guys. Why, look, I've gotta tell you, when

940
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: you get off the desk you talk to executives, they're

941
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,439
Speaker 1: more fearful of her winning. I mean, I've never heard

942
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: anybody say, look, she's gotta be stopped. She's gotta be stopped.

943
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's she's very she keeps going up

944
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: through the poles, She's raised a ton of money. It's

945
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna win out. I believe she's a very compelling figure

946
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: on the stump. By the way. I hear it too,

947
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: And it's another reason why companies are being implored to

948
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: do things now. If you want to get something done,

949
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: you really think M and A or anything, think about

950
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: doing it soon, because come early to mid twenty twenty,

951
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: if Eliza mclauren's rolling along, everybody's gonna be like, that's it.

952
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: She You hearing it too? Oh yeah, I wonder what

953
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: China says about that exact question. Oh yeah, boy, she

954
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: is so anti pollution in China, they're all saying they're

955
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: worried about Elizabeth Warren. I'm all street, I gotta tell you,

956
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I mean,

957
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: maybe they're worried, but I don't think that they have

958
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: anything really to be worried about. And here's why Elizabeth

959
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: Warren is very much a transactional progressive. She's someone who

960
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: has made a very nice living for herself as a

961
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: law professor, making about a quarter million dollars a year.

962
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: I think just to teach one class a week, that's

963
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: a nice gig I would take. You know, can't get

964
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 1: fired making a quarter of a million dollars, getting up

965
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 1: in front of a classroom and saying a bunch of stuff.

966
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: It's probably not even particularly useful from a legal perspective,

967
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: but you know, she's Elizabeth Warren, so first Cherokee law

968
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: professor on the Harvard faculty. She had that going for,

969
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: which is nice. But here's a reminder about the Democratic Party.

970
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party is full of rich. There are plenty

971
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: of rich people in Democratic part In fact, Wall Street

972
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly gives you the biggest firms Goldman, Saxons, they give

973
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: to Hillary Clinton last time around. They're they're not. This

974
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: is one of these myths that we have to deal

975
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: with on the right that will never go away, and

976
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: that is that the the rich are Republicans. It's just

977
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: not true. There are rich people in both parties, right, oh,

978
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: the Republican billionaires funding everything they have. What about Soros?

979
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: What about Tom stey Er, what about you know, go

980
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: down the list, what about Oprah? What about Steven Spielberg?

981
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: If you get all these people were fabulously wealthy, huge Libs,

982
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: huge Libs. The Liberals have plenty, plenty of money. And

983
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: yet we hear this story about how Wall Street is

984
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 1: a Republican. Wall Street is in its politics left of center,

985
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 1: and in it based on its giving. I mean, I'm

986
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: not guessing about this. This is where you know, this

987
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: is where the money goes. And that's because, yeah, they

988
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: don't want higher taxes, but the tax issue is less

989
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 1: important than the regulatory climate and environment, and the very

990
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: big firms just want to make sure that whoever wins,

991
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: they're going to be taken care of. Big government loves

992
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: big business. Because big government sees big business as a

993
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 1: means of instituting policies that it wants, it can make

994
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: it complicit in the expansion of government in many ways.

995
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 1: And remember the regulatory burden, a lot of the anti

996
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: competitive measures that come into play when you're talking about

997
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: a big government apparatus, which is what Elizabeth Warren. We

998
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: already have too much of that, but Elizabeth Warren would

999
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: want you dramatically expanded. But Goldman Sachs is going to

1000
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: make plenty of money no matter what. Goldman Sacs employees

1001
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: are gonna go home with fat paychecks regardless of what

1002
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren says, she wants to do whatever tax she

1003
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: puts in place, And there are a lot of ways

1004
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: I think that you could argue that the people that

1005
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: are going to get hurt are those who are trying

1006
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: to be up and comers, going to be competitors. They're

1007
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: the ones that have the deal with Oh now there's

1008
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 1: all these new accounting regulations. Now there's all these new

1009
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, legal and administrative hurdles to trying to compete

1010
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: with some of these megabanks. But the megabanks, the mega corporations.

1011
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: But look at that you've got. Ge was practically a

1012
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: subsidiary of the Democratic Party for years, for years, Goleman,

1013
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Sachs Democrats. I mean, if you find me Facebook Google,

1014
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: these are these are Democrat companies. You know, where's the

1015
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: where's this evidence that you would think would exist of

1016
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: republican Republican Party dominance in the corporate sphere. It's just

1017
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: not there. I wish, you know, I wish that we

1018
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: could get past this. But they'll continue to say this,

1019
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren will do Wall Streets bidding, because Elizabeth Warren

1020
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: is gonna want powerful influential people and she's gonna make

1021
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: a show of doing bad stuff to Wall Street. Oh

1022
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, she's going to clean it up and everything else.

1023
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: That's all crap. And think about it this way. Think

1024
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: about this, what's happened to the health insurers post Obamacare.

1025
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: Have they have? They all gone bankrupt. Oh, but the

1026
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Democrats talk about how they hate the big bad health insurers. Oh,

1027
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: they're terrible. They're taking all the profits. Actually, their profits

1028
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: percentage wise are relatively small. But you know, I'm not

1029
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: somebody that loves the health insurance companies. I think they

1030
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: do do some shady stuff sometimes. That said, they're a

1031
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: bad guy according to Democrats. And yet have you seen

1032
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: the health insurers suffering a lot of pain? And no,

1033
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: they did Obama's you know, they agreed to go along

1034
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: with Obama's whole Affordable Care Act disaster as long as

1035
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: they got theres as long as they got paid backstopped

1036
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, by the taxpayer, and forced forced people to

1037
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 1: become customers of theirs. So they were finally that So

1038
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: that's that's a perfect example what I'm talking about. Yeah,

1039
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren is gonna come together. She's gonna say, oh,

1040
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna reform, I've gotta reform Wall Street. And I

1041
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: shound like someone has grabbed a turkey by the neck

1042
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 1: and is waving it around. You know, squawk, squawk man.

1043
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: She is not charming. She really isn't. It is not charismatic,

1044
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: forget charming, whatever you want to say. But she's gonna

1045
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: make this big show of how much she's gonna, you know,

1046
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 1: rock wall streets world that the truth is she's gonna

1047
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: do some things. But then wall st will say, Okay,

1048
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: we'll go along, but then leave us alone and let

1049
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: us make our big profits, you know, maybe even give

1050
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: us some way to get in on transactions that the

1051
01:06:55,440 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 1: government is you know, forcing the government's making people engage

1052
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: in whatever that may be. So I gotta tell you

1053
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: there's there's this there's this storyline out that the Democrats

1054
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: tell themselves that, oh, we're going to be able to reform.

1055
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, Democrats don't like big money in politics. That's

1056
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: that's just a lie. Oh we want to reform, we

1057
01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: want we don't want dark money and politics. Oh, they're

1058
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,360
Speaker 1: all about it. Elizabeth Warren's a perfect example. Oh here's

1059
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: a great one, Elizabeth. Well, you know what, let me

1060
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: hit this when I come. I've got I got to

1061
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: tell you a little Elizabeth Warren fundraising story that that's

1062
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 1: a perfect example of exactly what I'm talking about. Hold on,

1063
01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: I'll come right back. Stay with me. So I was

1064
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 1: going on a little bit of Elizabeth Warren ran. I

1065
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: think it's important because I believe that's where I'm putting

1066
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: my money for the Democrat nominee. I think it's gonna

1067
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 1: be Warren. I still I'm still standing firm on my

1068
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: it will not be Biden. But there was a story

1069
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: from the New York Times No Less a couple of

1070
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: days ago how Elizabeth Warren raised big money before she

1071
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: denounced big money. Oh look at this. It's exactly the

1072
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 1: hypocrisy that I'm talking to you about. So back in

1073
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: twenty eight or twenty eighteen Senate race, she was doing

1074
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,920
Speaker 1: what Democrats do, going to very rich people and saying,

1075
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: you write me a check. That's my Elizabeth Warren impersonation.

1076
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: It's like Hillary but louder Hello. She wanted wealthy people

1077
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: to write her checks for her race then, and guess

1078
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 1: and so she went to people that are, you know,

1079
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: the high rollers, the big dollar donors. And now she's

1080
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: talking about how she's only a grassroots funded campaign, they're

1081
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 1: not taking big dollar donations. But guess what, she's a

1082
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:58,919
Speaker 1: total hypocrite because she's using ten point four million dollars

1083
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: that she's rolling over from her twenty eighteen Senate race

1084
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: to underwrite her twenty twenty presidential bid. So I mean,

1085
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: but this is a classic moment of exactly what I'm

1086
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: talking about. Warren is going around on the stump saying that,

1087
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 1: you know, people shouldn't be able to shouldn't be reliant

1088
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 1: on big dollar donors, and oh, the wealthy and the

1089
01:09:20,439 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: elite are just buying everyone off and blah blah blah,

1090
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: all this crap. And it turns out that back in

1091
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,840
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, she was raising money bite doing exactly that,

1092
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: and she's using that money now to fund her campaign.

1093
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 1: So this would be like if I was running around saying, hey,

1094
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: hold on a second, you can't rob a bank and

1095
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: then use that money to fund your political campaign. You

1096
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: can't do that. That's terrible. And people were like, well, Buck,

1097
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: you robbed the bank a couple of years ago and

1098
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 1: you're using that money. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, but

1099
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: that was then. This is now. What do we always

1100
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: say defining character ristic of the contemporary liberal is just

1101
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: unbridled hypocrisy, hypocrisy that is punch you in the face,

1102
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: obvious hypocrisy from which there is no escape, and you

1103
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 1: come away from it thinking how could they? How could

1104
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: they expect any person to take their word on any

1105
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: of this, given how obvious it is that what they

1106
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: say is so different from the way that they themselves act,

1107
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: whether it's on money and politics, on climate change, on

1108
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: you know, the education system, on you know, immigration, in

1109
01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: all these areas where whenever you see libs out there

1110
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: who are professing how much they care about an issue,

1111
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: it's not a surprise at all to find out that

1112
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: if there's any sacrifice involved in really doing something about that,

1113
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: they're not going to do that. They just want other

1114
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: They want to talk about it, they want other people

1115
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: to do it. Elizabeth Warren raised tons of money from

1116
01:10:56,439 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: rich people, and now she's saying other candidates are relying

1117
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: on rich people for their donations. He's using rich people

1118
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: money and saying it's bad. She's a huge fraud, folks,

1119
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 1: a fraud, and not just because of the fake Indian stuff.

1120
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:14,919
Speaker 1: She's a fraudt not bringing a house back to August

1121
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 1: to keep the we did the Senate was supposed to

1122
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: come back. Why does you all get that straight? Because

1123
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: the Senate did not come back to pass the bill.

1124
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm getting very angry about the word silliness of these questions,

1125
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: why is there at stake Senator McConnell was standing in

1126
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: the way. We passed our bill in February. Members had

1127
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 1: events all over the country to ask him to bring

1128
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: up the bill. Don't ask me what we haven't done.

1129
01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: We have done it. And if you are annoying, it's

1130
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: my impatience. It's because people are dying. But the Senator

1131
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: McConnell hasn't acted. Why don't you go ask him if

1132
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: he has any regrets to all the people who died

1133
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 1: because he hasn't packed do what the Democrats say on

1134
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: gun control, or you don't care about people dying, same

1135
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: argument every time ever, really seems to change very much.

1136
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 1: That's what we keep getting told that you do with

1137
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:15,800
Speaker 1: the Democrats want you to do, or you don't care

1138
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 1: about dead children, you don't care about gun violence, you're

1139
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:24,759
Speaker 1: a bad person. And they wonder why we don't trust

1140
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,640
Speaker 1: them for any kind of middle of the middle of

1141
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 1: the road solutions. They say that we're terrible people if

1142
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: we don't do exactly what they say, and then we're

1143
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: supposed to believe that if we gave them more power,

1144
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: say with red flag laws or any number of these

1145
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:47,520
Speaker 1: other restrictions, that they talk about that that would somehow

1146
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: result in Democrats being more fair minded about this. I

1147
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: think that that's just silly. I think that's entirely unrealistic.

1148
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:01,600
Speaker 1: But President Trump is still out there talking about this,

1149
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 1: still discussing this as a possibility. I'm not really sure

1150
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:11,960
Speaker 1: what Trump's Trump's plans are here. We're looking at background checks,

1151
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 1: and we're looking at putting everything together in a unified

1152
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,280
Speaker 1: way so that we can have something that's meaningful. At

1153
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 1: the same time, all of us want to protect our

1154
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: great Second Amendments, so important to all of us. So

1155
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:29,479
Speaker 1: we are now in meetings. The meetings are going to

1156
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 1: go in tonight. I'm going to speak with them again tomorrow.

1157
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: And I think progress is being made, I hope. So

1158
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I actually scratch that. I'm pretty

1159
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: sure that we don't want this kind of progress to

1160
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 1: be made because it's not progress. I haven't heard a

1161
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 1: single policy that would be that would be a good

1162
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 1: idea from the perspective of ending gun violence. There's nothing

1163
01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: that I listened to and I say, oh, yeah, that

1164
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: that's In fact, there's a terrifying idea that's out there

1165
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:10,759
Speaker 1: right now called Harpa and this is just astonishingly bad.

1166
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be the what the Health Advanced Research

1167
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Project I mean, yeah, the Health Advanced Research Project Agency

1168
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 1: sort of like DARPA, but for health. And they say

1169
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 1: they want to here we go. Former NBC Chairman Bob Wright,

1170
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:33,600
Speaker 1: a longtime friend that associated President Trump's, has brief top officials,

1171
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: including the President, the vice president, and Ivanka Trump, on

1172
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:42,120
Speaker 1: a proposal to create a new research agency called HARPA

1173
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: to come up with out of the box ways to

1174
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: tackle health problems, much like DARPA does for the military. Say,

1175
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: several people who have been briefed, Yeah, we're gonna have

1176
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: some new agency that looks into this and tries to

1177
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,720
Speaker 1: come up with something that how many debates, now, how

1178
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 1: many times have we had to have it out in

1179
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: public over whether or not there's there's a way to

1180
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 1: make this stuff, make mass murder with firearms more illegal

1181
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 1: than it already is. It's already very, very illegal. But

1182
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:22,800
Speaker 1: this HARPA organization would be out there looking at ways

1183
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,920
Speaker 1: that you could try to intervene in, specifically the realm

1184
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 1: of mental illness. Anyone who thinks that the government would

1185
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: ever be able to monitor mental health accurately enough that

1186
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: they would they could intervene to stop a mass shooting

1187
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:46,440
Speaker 1: and not create a near totalitarian surveillance state for everybody

1188
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 1: who has any form of mental illness. And really, when

1189
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: we talk about mental illness, there is there's mental illness.

1190
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 1: Mental health is something that everyone struggles with, and I

1191
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,719
Speaker 1: think this is often lost in the conversation. Everyone listening

1192
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: to this has at one time or another. Most likely

1193
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: some of you perhaps are perfect and had at least

1194
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: a little bit of what could be considered depression, a

1195
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 1: little bit of the symptoms of anxiety, a little bit

1196
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 1: of undue stress in your life that cause anxiety symptoms,

1197
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: and then you get too well. Is it at a

1198
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 1: level that's clinical where you have to go see you

1199
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: have to go seek professional help and support, And you

1200
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: know people do this, whether it A lot of people

1201
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: do this for you know, marital counseling will do this,

1202
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 1: for alcohol abuse, they'll do this. These are all mental

1203
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: health related issues. So when you say monitoring people for

1204
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 1: mental health, this is such a broad spectrum of things

1205
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: that the government would have to be looking at. It involved,

1206
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 1: and it's just it's absolutely insane. No serious person can believe,

1207
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 1: no serious person should believe that there's a way to

1208
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 1: monitor the mental health of the American people and prevent

1209
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: somebody base based on that monitoring program, from taking violent

1210
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: action because of their mental illness. You have tens of

1211
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 1: millions of people in this country with diagnosed mental illnesses

1212
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: of one kind or another. Yes, PTSD is classified as

1213
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: a mental illness, anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolarity.

1214
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 1: There's all these different things out there that people deal with.

1215
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 1: Some of its genetics, some of its situational, and the

1216
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 1: stigmatization that it seems the Democrats are willing to engage

1217
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: in now just because they're so set on getting new

1218
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: gun laws. Past just goes to show you. I think

1219
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: that they were never serious about any of this in

1220
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: the first place. They were never serious about reaching out

1221
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: and having laws that could stop people from engaging in

1222
01:17:56,479 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: mass shootings that also respect civil rights, that all so

1223
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: respect privacy and dignity of individuals. They're just looking for

1224
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: the political leverage in the moment to get what they want,

1225
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: which is some form of restrictions on guns. That's it.

1226
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: Everything else is noise. Everything else is just filler. So

1227
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the Democrats come to this

1228
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: issue with any good faith. I don't think that it's

1229
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: really about ultimately stopping gun violence, because if it was,

1230
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: then we've been focused on handguns and inner city crime.

1231
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: If it was really about stopping gun violence, that's where

1232
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: the push would be. No, it's on mass shootings and

1233
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 1: assault rifles, which are rare, meaning mass shootings statistically speaking,

1234
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:42,759
Speaker 1: at a small percentage of the overall gun violence problem

1235
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:47,640
Speaker 1: in this country. So we will keep having this. I

1236
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 1: don't know why Trump. Well, I'm hoping that he's doing

1237
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, ropodope here. You know,

1238
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 1: is okay, sure, we'll talk, we'll talk, we'll talk, and

1239
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: then when the Democrats, you know, when their audiences and

1240
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: their instituents are tired of the same talking points, we

1241
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,640
Speaker 1: can move on to something else. If they had a

1242
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: good idea, I'd be open to it. They don't have

1243
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: good ideas. They just have status takeover. I don't like that.

1244
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: And I'm also sick of being told all the time

1245
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: that because look, let's be honest, the conservative side keeps

1246
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: winning this argument on the merits over the gun control

1247
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 1: case that they make. They don't understand these weapons, they

1248
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: don't know the laws that are already on the books.

1249
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: They don't understand or care much for Second Amendment jurisprudence.

1250
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 1: They keep losing the argument and then just they want

1251
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 1: to shout at us and tell us, well, it doesn't

1252
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 1: matter that they lose the argument. They still they still

1253
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: should be able to get whatever they want from a

1254
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: policy perspective. And to this, I just say, I just

1255
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:48,960
Speaker 1: say no, sorry, not signing up for that. Not okay

1256
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: with being emotionally ambushed and bludgeoned by the left every

1257
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 1: time there's a very bad thing that happens in this country.

1258
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: When it to gun violence, which is unfortunately going to happen,

1259
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: there's no there's no way around this. There's going They're

1260
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,679
Speaker 1: going to be shootings. There are three hundred and thirty

1261
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: million people in this country. There are going to be shootings.

1262
01:20:11,720 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: What laws do we have and how well do we

1263
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: enforce those laws? That's a question to ask. Enough concerned

1264
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: that we're making ducto, we treated fairly well. They become

1265
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: very rich companies very fast. And the whole thing with

1266
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 1: vaping is is a very profitable and I want companies. Look,

1267
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,040
Speaker 1: you know that I fight for our companies very hard.

1268
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: If I fight That's why I'm fighting with China. That's

1269
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 1: why I'm fighting with other countries. If you look at

1270
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 1: European Union, and if you look at Japan, and if

1271
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: you look at so many others, including South Korea and

1272
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: many others, were constantly dealing with them to make it

1273
01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: good for our companies because I view it as jobs.

1274
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,679
Speaker 1: I viewed as in them for our country and jobs.

1275
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:05,760
Speaker 1: Vaping has become a very big business, as I understand it,

1276
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 1: like a giant business in a very short period of time.

1277
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 1: But we can't allow people to get sick, and we

1278
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:16,240
Speaker 1: can't have our youth be so affected. Looks like they're

1279
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: getting ready for a band, folks. The Trump administration no less.

1280
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 1: Now we must adhere to principle. We have to be

1281
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: honest here. This is a little This attrikes me as

1282
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: a little a little nanny state, like maybe very Nanni state. Like.

1283
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 1: I cannot get behind this. I have never smoked a cigarette,

1284
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: I have never vaped, but I just don't I don't

1285
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 1: see why this is the answer. I know a lot

1286
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:51,679
Speaker 1: of people who use vaping because it's less dangerous, it's

1287
01:21:51,800 --> 01:22:01,560
Speaker 1: less problematic than say the actual traditional cigarettes, old school cigarettes,

1288
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: and people this uh current frenzy seems to be around

1289
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: individuals who have died. I don't know how many ROSA mark,

1290
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 1: how many vaping deaths have there been. Let me just

1291
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: be clear, I think it's very few. Overall. Wall Street

1292
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 1: Journal says doctors and officials urge people to stop vaping.

1293
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 1: Hundreds of potential cases of pulmonary illnesses. Six deaths, six

1294
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: deaths have been associated with this with this illness. And

1295
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 1: my understanding of this so far, and they're still figuring

1296
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 1: this out, is that they think that there's a an

1297
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 1: issue here with THHC lace products. I think essentially black

1298
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: market versions of these products that have gotten out there,

1299
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: and that may be the cause of this. I've got

1300
01:22:55,400 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: to tell you, you you know, six from the many, many

1301
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:05,840
Speaker 1: people that are used this across the country, that doesn't

1302
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 1: seem like. Look, I'm just gonna say that six people

1303
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 1: dying from an illness related to something doesn't strike me

1304
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: as in and of itself a crisis. It strikes me

1305
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: as something worthy of inquiry and investigation. And I'm not like,

1306
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a pro vaping guy. I don't vape myself.

1307
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: I just know that there's no way in my mind. Okay,

1308
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 1: let's just let's just back this up for a second.

1309
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: There's no way that vaping isn't at least better for

1310
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: you than smoking old school tobacco. I mean, producer Mark,

1311
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: am I missing something? Does anyone think that? I mean,

1312
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: it's water vapor. How can that be anywhere near as

1313
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: bad for you as burning tobacco leaves and inhaling acrid

1314
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: smoke all the time. It could be something in the

1315
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 1: vapor that's making people sick, but it's I don't think

1316
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: it's as bad. But I mean, if it's causing some

1317
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 1: certain lung diseases, I see why the alarm. No. Look,

1318
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there shouldn't be alarm, But to me,

1319
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: a nationwide ban on this strikes because think of how

1320
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: many people might use this stuff and then it might

1321
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 1: be vaping and that's going to prevent them from getting

1322
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,519
Speaker 1: lung cancer. You know, when you start to look at

1323
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: the aggregate benefit of something that is safer than what

1324
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, the alternative is. I just don't see it.

1325
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they want to ban it. I look,

1326
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:34,960
Speaker 1: I know they're saying, they're saying that there's a you know,

1327
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 1: what do you call it? There's h it is a

1328
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 1: gateway where we always hear about this. This is a gateway,

1329
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: and that's why they have all these flavors like you know,

1330
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 1: bubble yum and pomegranate and all this stuff. This is

1331
01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 1: what we keep hearing about, is that we don't want

1332
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: kids to be vaping, which is probably true. But if

1333
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: we're going to have this discussion, I think we also

1334
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: have to have a discussion about we don't want kids

1335
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: to be drinking either. You know, we don't want people

1336
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 1: to be doing these things. We just don't. So are

1337
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 1: we gonna you know, bands are a bad idea, You're

1338
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: going to force this underground and if in fact it's

1339
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 1: from faulty products. Now people are saying, oh, buck, but

1340
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 1: what about you know, what about people that are taking fentonel.

1341
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not saying banning anything is a bad idea,

1342
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 1: but there's there's not enough evidence yet that this is dangerous.

1343
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: This is dangerous at a level where a band is required,

1344
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 1: I think we'll do more harm, more harm than good.

1345
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,160
Speaker 1: And if it is in fact the case that you

1346
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 1: have black market vaping products, and that's what the essentially

1347
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: faulty products out in the system are what is really

1348
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 1: causing these illnesses, the few hundreds of illnesses, and then

1349
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 1: people with six people that have died. Then by banning,

1350
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,719
Speaker 1: you're just going to increase the black market. And people

1351
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: seem to really like this. That's why it's a big business.

1352
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: And you know, Jewel and these other companies continue to

1353
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 1: make a lot of money doing this. So I just

1354
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: don't I don't see how the ban is going to

1355
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: be a good idea. And I'm a little surprised that

1356
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: this is the response you're getting from from President Trump.

1357
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: You don't producer mark, You don't smart smart, You don't.

1358
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: You don't smart, do you? You don't never never smarked

1359
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: in your life. No, I don't smoke either. Have you

1360
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 1: ever smoked a cigarette? No? I never would. It never

1361
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: appealed to me. I mean, I had a lot of friends.

1362
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 1: I knew a lot of girls growing up. We were

1363
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,680
Speaker 1: teenagers who smoked Marlborough retts. They were getting after it

1364
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: with Marlborough rets. That's that's some pretty strong stuff. I

1365
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: also remember being a teenager here in New York City

1366
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: and and going out to bars and nightclubs, believe it

1367
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:47,599
Speaker 1: or not, in my teens. Um, you're from around here,

1368
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 1: so you know that's that's not that weird. But I

1369
01:26:49,560 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: think if I ever walked into a bar and saw

1370
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of fifteen year olds and sixteen year olds

1371
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 1: in there, I'd be like, what is this place nowadays? Yes? Yeah, exactly,

1372
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 1: that needs to be very normal. Yeah, were at fake IDs.

1373
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Everybody would go into these places here in New York

1374
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: City and you walk everybody would be in high school

1375
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 1: taking shots at tequila and getting into bar fights, which

1376
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: really just involved like grabbing each other and fall into

1377
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:14,879
Speaker 1: the ground and being like you stop it, mean person.

1378
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:19,639
Speaker 1: In our fights, Catholic school fights were not usually particularly badass.

1379
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, the smoking band that Bloomberg, I'm just gonna

1380
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: say it, when Bloomberg enacted that smoking band, this is

1381
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,720
Speaker 1: where this is where my nanny state kicks in. And

1382
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I kind of like it. I

1383
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: liked it. Change the city it was, it was better.

1384
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: And I know that you could argue, oh, but what

1385
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:40,360
Speaker 1: about establishments that are that want to do it differently?

1386
01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: And I understand that I'm violating principle and I own that.

1387
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: I own it, But I also think that there was

1388
01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of a war in restaurants between the

1389
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: smokers and the non smokers. And you know, you had

1390
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,759
Speaker 1: one group of people that really believed very very strongly

1391
01:27:57,760 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: that should be able to smoke at a restaurant. So

1392
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 1: everybody else has to smell their smoke, and and it's

1393
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 1: a physical compulsion. Obviously any of other people who really

1394
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 1: didn't want to be smelling that. It just wasn't. It

1395
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:09,759
Speaker 1: wasn't a recipe for anyone to be happy. It really wasn't.

1396
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: It's a bad move. To this day, you can't walk

1397
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: down the street without smelling cigarette smoke somewhere, and weed smoke.

1398
01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 1: I'm shocked by how often a lot of smoke you're

1399
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 1: in New York. Yeah, and the cops do nothing about it. Now,

1400
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: I guess it's not a felin man. Sometimes it's like

1401
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: the weed brownies. And like weed cookies, you don't smell those.

1402
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,719
Speaker 1: Though you don't smell him, you taste him. It taste delicious. Man,

1403
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,559
Speaker 1: he's getting the back of a little weed truck. You're like, hey,

1404
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:37,839
Speaker 1: do you have like a blondie with the weed? Anyway?

1405
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:40,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're really going to go forward this band.

1406
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: It strikes me as a bad idea, but you know what,

1407
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 1: we do have to find out more of what's by

1408
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 1: the way, you know what else we never found out about.

1409
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 1: If we're talking about mysterious illnesses, that are people dying

1410
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: from from mysterious circumstances. Whatever happen they did Medican Republic.

1411
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 1: Did we lose like nine Americans there dying from? No

1412
01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,639
Speaker 1: one knew what they thought. Maybe it was bootleg liquor.

1413
01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 1: I had to change my whole honeymoon because I did

1414
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 1: you really. Yeah, we were originally going to dr got

1415
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:06,760
Speaker 1: a great deal and then my soon to be wife

1416
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 1: was like, Nope, not doing it and not taking the risk.

1417
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 1: Now we're going to Jamaica. Yeah, you and a lot

1418
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,080
Speaker 1: of other people. Yeah, they lost a lot of money.

1419
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: I can imagine. Well, we'll see if this band goes through.

1420
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't because I don't like banning products

1421
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:21,560
Speaker 1: that come with stated risks. But we'll see. We'll be

1422
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: right back with Roll Call. Hey, team bug, it's time

1423
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:44,960
Speaker 1: for Roll Call game. We are gonna do a double

1424
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,679
Speaker 1: sesh of the Roll Call tonight just because I feel

1425
01:29:47,720 --> 01:29:51,320
Speaker 1: like it, just because I figure I want to hear

1426
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:55,240
Speaker 1: from all of you on this day that a day

1427
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 1: of remembrance. You know, what do we do? How do

1428
01:29:57,360 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 1: we refer to it obviously refer to as nine a

1429
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 1: love in September eleventh. That's I suppose it is a day,

1430
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 1: just a day of national remembrance. Um, sadness in rage

1431
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 1: are the main things that I tend to conjure up

1432
01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:12,519
Speaker 1: when I think about it. But I want to know

1433
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 1: what all of you are thinking, and so with that

1434
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 1: in mind, I will get to the roll call Facebook

01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,360

01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:45,720

1443
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 1: with Danish, whatever it may be. I just hired a

1444
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 1: personal trainer. Don't do that, He'll yell at me. Oh

1445
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:53,880

1446
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 1: the same thing. Maybe we'll start working out together. What

1447
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:58,639
Speaker 1: do you think team buck workouts? We could live stream

1448
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: that stuff. Man, you might kill we'd be like Hans

1451
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,800
Speaker 1: do that sure viral content. It's worth worth. I'm just

1452
01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,320
Speaker 1: saying it's worth thinking about. All right, another time, Well,

1453
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 1: when's the wedding by the way, No, damn soon. That's

1454
01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 1: why I hired the personal training. It's go. Time's time.

1455
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah you should. When you do the walk down the aisle,

1456
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 1: do it, you know, walking like a handstand like that.

1457
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 1: I'll have some dumbells in my hand out there exactly exactly.

1458
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:33,600
Speaker 1: You know. I hear that it's very fashionable now to

1459
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,720
Speaker 1: do your wedding wearing athletic attire. So that's what I've

1460
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 1: heard too, exactly. So yeah, Lula Lemon makes a lovely tux.

1461

1474
01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: My wife and I were on vacation and missed a

1475
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: few days of your show. When we got back home,

1476
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 1: I told her you were we were going to binge

1477
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:34,639
Speaker 1: listen to you. To my comments, she said, Buck that

1478
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've heard that one before. Shields High Well funny,

1479
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:41,680
Speaker 1: but can't we get her to maybe listen to the

1480
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:44,720
Speaker 1: old shows with you? Because I feel like that's that's

1481
01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:46,760
Speaker 1: the best way that this should go. I mean, that

1482
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:49,680
Speaker 1: would be my if you're asking me what my preference is,

1483
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:52,920
Speaker 1: that's my preference. That's how you guys would catch up. No,

1484
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: we want them to listen on different iPhones or different

1485
01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:58,559
Speaker 1: exactly multiple iPhones and get other family members to join in.

1486
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 1: Have a whole buck listening part. Thomas just watched a

1487
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:06,639
Speaker 1: merit ups now that was old. Sorry, hey Bock, thanks

1488
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: for keeping us warm and safe at night or safe

1489
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 1: and warm at night. You must add one more place

1490
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 1: to your list of flip flop acceptable places, which could

1491
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 1: be seen as a New Yorker looking down on casual fashion. Whoai.

1492
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 1: In Hawaii, they're called slippers and are worn everywhere all

1493
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:27,040
Speaker 1: the time, So please don't discount the Hawaii slipper legitness.

1494
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:30,439
Speaker 1: Hawaii actually has a completely different fashion sense from the mainland,

1495
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,080
Speaker 1: So there's that disclosure. My wife was born and raised there,

1496
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:37,639
Speaker 1: Thomas Oss. Well, Thomas, let's just let's revisit what I said.

1497
01:33:38,479 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: I said that there are only certain places going to

1498
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:44,720
Speaker 1: the pool, going to the beach. Hawaii is essentially one

1499
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:48,360
Speaker 1: giant beach. Wherever you are in Hawaii, you are within

1500
01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,719
Speaker 1: striking distance of a beautiful beach. So yes, of course,

1501
01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:54,040
Speaker 1: if you are a resident of the state of Hawaii

1502
01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 1: and you choose to wear flip flops wherever you go,

1503
01:33:57,160 --> 01:33:59,720
Speaker 1: you are theoretically on route to the beach. It's just

1504
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:02,160
Speaker 1: to question how long it takes you to get there.

1505
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:07,120
Speaker 1: Whereas if you are a resident of the great state

1506
01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 1: of Iowa and you were wearing flip flops in November,

1507
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:16,360
Speaker 1: to me, you should probably put shoes on. I'm just

1508
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 1: putting it out there. I think. I think that's the

1509
01:34:19,280 --> 01:34:20,760
Speaker 1: way I used to walk around New York City and

1510
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 1: flip flops. I'll tell you this is the truth. I

1511
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:24,800
Speaker 1: don't know why. I just used to think that it

1512
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:26,160
Speaker 1: was kind of cool to just kick around on my

1513
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 1: flip flops, and then I realized that my feet were

1514
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:30,800
Speaker 1: getting dirty. And all it takes, and this is going

1515
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 1: to get gross, but I'm giving you a public safety announcement.

1516
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:40,680
Speaker 1: All it takes is stepping into one gross huddle of

1517
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:44,439
Speaker 1: stuff with a flip flop on instead of a shoe,

1518
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 1: and then going home and thinking like, oh, I wonder

1519
01:34:48,320 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: if flesh eating bacteria maybe seeped into this blister that

1520
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 1: I have, or oh like maybe the chemicals that my

1521
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 1: foot has been subjected to from the New York City

1522
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 1: streets will slowly erode it until there's nothing but a

1523
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:04,840
Speaker 1: nub left. You know, these are the thoughts you have

1524
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 1: so you don't want to go flip flopping around New

1525
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 1: York City streets? Am I right? Producer Mark, I don't

1526
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 1: even like to touch a subway pull without using hand

1527
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:16,360
Speaker 1: sanitizer afterwards. Never mind my foot. You're a man after

1528
01:35:16,439 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 1: my own heart, dude. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about

1529
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Let's see here, Dale Rights hey Buck,

1530
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 1: I actually ask for a stand up desk at work.

1531
01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:32,559
Speaker 1: I've had it for two weeks and love it. I

1532
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:35,800
Speaker 1: feel my productivity is up and I don't get fatigued

1533
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 1: like I thought I would standing up most of the day.

1534
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 1: Getting the right matt to support your feet is very important.

1535
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend you give it a shot. I'd

1536
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:48,840
Speaker 1: like to. I just think I'm gonna whimp out, but

1537
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:50,599
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'm gonna get a standing desk,

1538
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 1: And in fact, it would be great to get a

1539
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 1: standing desk sponsor. So maybe I'll reach out to the

1540
01:35:56,439 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 1: sponsor and say, hey, I'm gonna start using your standing desk,

1541
01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:00,280
Speaker 1: and if I like it, I'll tell every but on

1542
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:02,240
Speaker 1: Team Buck to buy it. I think that's the plan.

1543
01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:05,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what we should do. But yes, indeed,

1544
01:36:06,160 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 1: having better posture is important. That's also something that we've

1545
01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:14,880
Speaker 1: all learned. That's another real, a real thing. Harry hey Buck.

1546
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:19,960
Speaker 1: Trump's tweet advocating zero or negative interest rates is very disappointing.

1547
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:22,640
Speaker 1: It leads one to begin to believe he doesn't know

1548
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: as much about the economy and finance as he would

1549
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 1: have us think superficially what he tweeted makes sense, but

1550
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 1: in the long run it will destroy the American dollar

1551
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:34,760
Speaker 1: and economy. Have you been reading what your friends at

1552
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,080
Speaker 1: Stansbury and others have to say about ZERP and NERP

1553
01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 1: shields high, Harry. I read a lot of Stansbury stuff,

1554
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: but I have not read about ZERP and NERP. I

1555
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 1: don't know. I am assuming that's zero interest rate policy

1556
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 1: and near I don't know what neutral interests. I don't

1557
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 1: know what NERP is old on. Let me let me

1558
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:58,679
Speaker 1: do a quick let's see what it says about NERP.

1559
01:36:59,200 --> 01:37:02,759
Speaker 1: Negative interest Okay, negative interestrate policy and zero interest rate policy.

1560
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:06,599
Speaker 1: That makes sense? Yeah, now, I haven't reputs Deansbury says

1561
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:12,880
Speaker 1: about that, so I should check that out. Run now right,

1562
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 1: Love the show, Buck, love the show. Any thoughts on

1563
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:22,240
Speaker 1: the Vatican saying no communion for pro abortion politicians. I

1564
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 1: haven't seen this, Ronald, But that's what the Vaticans should do.

1565
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:30,760
Speaker 1: That should be the response. If you're a politician and

1566
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,120
Speaker 1: you say you're a Roman Catholic and you are pro abortion,

1567
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: they should say no, I'm sorry, you're you're outside the

1568
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 1: community now or else? What's the point of having any

1569
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 1: of these rules, Like, what's the point of any of

1570
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:45,120
Speaker 1: this if we're just gonna say, yeah, everything's fine. Remember,

1571
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:49,080
Speaker 1: it's one thing to engage in wrong action yourself. We

1572
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,200
Speaker 1: are all sinners, we are all fallen, we all make mistakes.

1573
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 1: It's another thing to openly advocate for what is evil

1574
01:37:55,800 --> 01:37:57,599
Speaker 1: as though it were good, as though it's a right,

1575
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:01,559
Speaker 1: and to have power to enact that beyond even just

1576
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 1: the platform of spreading that wrongness. So yeah, I think

1577
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:08,640
Speaker 1: that that's I think that's real. I think, Ronald, that

1578
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 1: they should all of a sudden, you to have Nancy

1579
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 1: Pelosi and Joe Biden, and they're a bunch on that

1580
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 1: would be left sans communion. Now, I also think that

1581
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:20,640
Speaker 1: they wouldn't really care all that much except for how

1582
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 1: it affects them politically. I know I'm making a judgment

1583
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 1: about how Catholic they are, but Nancy Pelosi doesn't strike

1584
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 1: me as a as a deeply religious person. I think

1585
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,400
Speaker 1: she thinks that it's necessary for her political brand. But

1586
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:34,880
Speaker 1: I believe that there are a lot of politicians who

1587
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: look down on truly religious people, and they think that

1588
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:43,040
Speaker 1: they're really that the politicians are engaged in a necessary ruse. Essentially,

1589
01:38:43,160 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 1: they are fooling people that need to be fooled in

1590
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 1: order for the politicians to get away with what they're doing.

1591
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 1: That's the plan, that's what they do. Jane Right's listening

1592
01:38:55,560 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 1: to Beto today, I'm reminded of Jim Rouse's dream for Columbia, Maryland.

1593
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 1: Columbia is now one of the richest places in the

1594
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 1: metropolitan area. They are gradually pushing the middle class out. Well,

1595
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: I gotta take your word for I don't know anything

1596
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: about Columbia, Maryland, so sounds like a thing that's happening.

1597
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:16,599
Speaker 1: I don't know. I do know that New York City

1598
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 1: gets more expensive all of the time, all the time,

1599
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 1: and that just seems like it's not possible, Like, how

1600
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 1: is it that New York could just continuously be more

1601
01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:29,679
Speaker 1: and more expensive? But that's that is in fact where

1602
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 1: we are. Am Ethan right Buck. I couldn't agree more

1603
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 1: with your feelings on Red Eye. Absolutely fantastic show. I

1604
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:42,639
Speaker 1: got hooked on it in two thousand and eight while

1605
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:46,040
Speaker 1: station in Korea because it was on at five pm there,

1606
01:39:46,080 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 1: so I'd catch it like almost every day after work.

1607
01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:51,679
Speaker 1: Greg Gutfeld's show now is good, but it's no Red Eye.

1608
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:55,479
Speaker 1: John Bolton wasn't just a guest. He was actually named

1609
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:58,880
Speaker 1: the president of Red Eye. Look, I gave him credit

1610
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:02,600
Speaker 1: last night on Y's show. I think that Bolton, you know,

1611
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 1: and I want to be very clear about this. I

1612
01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: don't think that John Bolton is anything but a patriot

1613
01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 1: and and somebody who thinks that he's doing a lot

1614
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: of good in the world. And he's a smart guy.

1615
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:14,599
Speaker 1: He's a knowledgeable guy. You know. I'm not somebody who

1616
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:20,479
Speaker 1: trashes Bolton the person. I think Bolton is wrong on

1617
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:23,719
Speaker 1: some things, or perhaps a bit stronger on some things

1618
01:40:23,720 --> 01:40:25,880
Speaker 1: than is wise. And I think that he's not a

1619
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:29,599
Speaker 1: good choice for this administration. But you know, John Bolton,

1620
01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 1: I've I've interacted with him. He's always been a perfect gentleman.

1621
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 1: He was funny on Red Eye, and he's very smart,

1622
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 1: and I believe that he thinks he's serving his country

1623
01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:39,080
Speaker 1: in the best way possible. He's not a bad guy.

1624
01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 1: So I think right now there's a lot of oh,

1625
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 1: because there's a little bit of a of a spat

1626
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:47,840
Speaker 1: between Trump and him, a lot of people are pushing him,

1627
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, under the bus. I don't think that that's

1628
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair to say that he's a

1629
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 1: bad guy. I think it's fair to say he's wrong

1630
01:40:53,720 --> 01:40:55,839
Speaker 1: or he's he has been wrong on some key issues.

1631
01:40:56,439 --> 01:40:58,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we thank him for his service, but

1632
01:40:58,680 --> 01:41:00,839
Speaker 1: it's time for him to, you know, teach at university

1633
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,679
Speaker 1: and write books and hang out. That would be mine

1634
01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:07,000
Speaker 1: no more, no more John Bolton positions of authority. You know,

1635
01:41:07,080 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 1: if we get invaded by the North Koreans Wolverines, some

1636
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 1: of you will catch that reference, actually almost all of

1637
01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:18,840
Speaker 1: you will. Then maybe we bring Bolton back and say

1638
01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 1: that it's it's go time. Keith. Right, thanks for all

1639
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:28,040
Speaker 1: you do. Come to Austin again, bro Shields High Well, Keith,

1640
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 1: I haven't been to Austin yet, so I'm working on it.

1641
01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:33,800
Speaker 1: I have a wonderful audience down there. KLBJ. Austin I

1642
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:37,200
Speaker 1: hear from a lot of you. Austin is the city

1643
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:39,640
Speaker 1: that I dream of moving to one day. There's a

1644
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 1: few of them. Austin would be a lot of fun.

1645
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:45,320
Speaker 1: Charleston would be a lot of fun. But for now,

1646
01:41:45,520 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a city dog fighting the Libs. Fighting

1650
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:02,760
Speaker 1: we got to take a moment to catch our breath

1651
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 1: before we continue with your wonderful, insightful quips on roll call.

1654
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 1: if you got to this point, he didn't know that

1655
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 1: that would be kind of a surprise. But here we are, Kathy,

1656
01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:23,759
Speaker 1: right Buck, Which Pluto app I've looked in? There are several.

1657
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 1: I did download the Pluto TV app for free TV

1658
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 1: and found a channel dedicated to doctor Who, so I

1659
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:30,640
Speaker 1: am happy about that. However, I'd like to make sure

1660
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:32,640
Speaker 1: I download the correct Pluto app to be able to

1661
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 1: watch you. Thanks, Kathy o SS Kathy. Yes, it is

1662
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,840
Speaker 1: the Pluto TV app. That is where my channel will be.

1663
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,960
Speaker 1: Will be announcing more details of that soon. You'll be

1664
01:42:42,000 --> 01:42:45,040
Speaker 1: able to stream the Buck Sexton Show for free on

Speaker 1: that app within a couple of weeks. So it's the

1666
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:50,960
Speaker 1: Pluto TV app. Get it, Get it started to just

1667
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:54,000
Speaker 1: download it on your smartphone, folks. Doesn't cost you a dime,

1668
01:42:54,040 --> 01:42:55,880
Speaker 1: and it's not just my show. There's other stuff that

1669
01:42:55,960 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 1: you can watch too if you want so. Yes, indeed,

1670
01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:08,880
Speaker 1: Brian right, I wonder how upset Betet would be if

1671
01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:11,719
Speaker 1: I set up a trailer in his yard. Well, Brian,

1672
01:43:11,760 --> 01:43:13,680
Speaker 1: that's what you keep seeing with all these libs. They

1673
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:17,599
Speaker 1: pretend like they want poor people living next to rich people,

1674
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:19,639
Speaker 1: but never them. They don't want it. You know. It's

1675
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:22,960
Speaker 1: the same with refugees. Oh, America should take in just

1676
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:25,920
Speaker 1: as many refugees as want to come here, but they

1677
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 1: can't go to the schools of the rich Libs that

1678
01:43:28,240 --> 01:43:29,680
Speaker 1: say that, no, no, no, no no. They have to

1679
01:43:29,720 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 1: go to schools with people who are working class. They

1680
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:34,679
Speaker 1: have to go into neighborhoods where people work very hard

1681
01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:37,720
Speaker 1: to try to save up more money, moved to a

1682
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:41,880
Speaker 1: bigger house, being a better school district. Those are the

1683
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:48,120
Speaker 1: people that end up getting refugee populations, generally speaking, you know,

1684
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:51,240
Speaker 1: distributed there by the federal government. It's not happening in

1685
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 1: a Nancy Pelosi's neighborhood in San Francisco, that's for sure.

1686
01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 1: Or not, they're not putting them up in mansions. Pelosi

1687
01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:07,320
Speaker 1: would not would not approve Kyle rights Buck. I've got

1688
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:09,120
Speaker 1: a strong stomach. But the segment you did on the

1689
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:12,320
Speaker 1: twenty eight week elective abortion made me a bit queasy.

1690
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 1: I remember feeling a kick through my wife's stomach at

1691
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:17,599
Speaker 1: twenty three weeks, and I just can't imagine someone waiting

1692
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:20,040
Speaker 1: another five weeks to kill the baby for their own

1693
01:44:20,080 --> 01:44:23,080
Speaker 1: personal convenience. I know it's a hyperbolic statement, but I

1694
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:24,800
Speaker 1: don't know how it is to classify that action as

1695
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 1: other than murder. I hope that in one hundred and

1696
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 1: fifty years, Americans will look back on Roe v. Wade

1697
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 1: the same way we look back on dread Scott. That

1698
01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 1: case is a stain on the moral fabric of our country.

1699
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:37,679
Speaker 1: Anyone who reads the majority opinion of that case should

1700
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:41,800
Speaker 1: be disturbed by the parallel lines of logic in it

1701
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:46,280
Speaker 1: that exists in the modern pro choice movement. Kyle, I

1702
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 1: think you're absolutely correct. I actually found out from some

1703
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:53,040
Speaker 1: of them very close to that someone that he's very

1704
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:58,920
Speaker 1: close to was born three months premature, born at six months,

1705
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 1: and survived in its perfect healthy and happy and fine today.

1706
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:06,360
Speaker 1: Pretty remarkable. Yeah, I get Look, look, we always you

1707
01:45:07,040 --> 01:45:08,760
Speaker 1: say what is good. When it is good, you give

1708
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:12,320
Speaker 1: credit where it is due in the instance that is

1709
01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 1: that is appropriate. You know, Tulsie Gabbard. At least she's

1710
01:45:15,760 --> 01:45:19,559
Speaker 1: willing to say third trimester abortion is not okay. I

1711
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:21,679
Speaker 1: give her credit for that. I mean, she's gonna get

1712
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 1: crushed by the left for it. But that's where we are.

1713
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 1: Benny rides Buck. I laughed out loud when I saw

1714
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 1: the new James Bob Vaniette aka Valerie planes Ad, but

1715
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 1: it was also sobering because she made a provably false

1716
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:40,640
Speaker 1: statement in response to Scooter Libby. What I don't understand

1717
01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:43,120
Speaker 1: is how the vast majority of Democrats are able to

1718
01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 1: lie with such impunity, i e. Pelosi, Nadler, Schumer, etc.

1719
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:49,680
Speaker 1: My moral compass does not allow me to state that

1720
01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: something is true when it obviously isn't. How do they

1721
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:54,200
Speaker 1: do this? If you watch any of the liberal punnits

1722
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:56,240
Speaker 1: on Fox, they're also guilty. And I can't fathom how

1723
01:45:56,240 --> 01:46:00,520
Speaker 1: liberals are able to throw their reputations away so flippantly.

1724
01:46:00,680 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 1: She'll tie Benny in Mississippi, Benny in Mississippi. I don't

1725
01:46:06,800 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 1: know if that was close enough to was that did

1726
01:46:10,120 --> 01:46:15,519
Speaker 1: that across? Yeah? Too many syllables for Benny. All right, Well,

1727
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:17,920
Speaker 1: we tried, team. We're gonna have a great show tomorrow.

1728
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 1: And the next day, so be sure to tune in,

1729
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: then talk to you. Then you know what comes next.

1730
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:24,520
Speaker 1: She'll tie
