WEBVTT - 9/11 Remembered 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:16.160 You are entering the Freedom Hunt team in September eleventh. 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.400 We will talk about what this day means and what 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:20.920 we should do about it going forward. Coming up from 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:24.840 the buck Sexton Show. This is the bus Sexton Show, 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.920 where the mission or mission is to decode what really 0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:34.639 matters with actionable intelligence, what magnor mistake American enemy? You're 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:39.800 a great American again, The buck Sexton Show begins analyst, 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:48.000 He's a great guy. No. Eighteen years ago, the terrorists 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:54.520 struck this citadel of power and American strength. But the 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.600 enemy soon learned that they could not weaken the spirit 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.440 of our people. In times of distress, the heart of 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:07.440 the American patriot only grows stronger and more determined. The 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.560 American people will never forget or ever fail to be 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.679 inspired by the courage of the men and women to 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:19.959 Flight ninety three. We honor them by remembering them, and 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:25.399 we honor them by resolving here and now that we 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:30.479 will do as they did, each of us and all 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.360 of our varied roles, to prevent such evil from ever 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:37.000 reaching our shores again. Even in the midst of the attack, 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:44.160 the world witnessed the awesome power of American defiance. Forty 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:49.840 passengers and crew on Flight ninety three rose up, fought back, 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.960 and thwarted the enemy's wicked plans. In their final moments, 0:01:55.040 --> 0:02:01.960 these American heroes thunderously declared that we alone decide our fate. 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:09.079 We saw American perseverance in the valued New York firefighters, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:15.960 police officers, first responders, military, and every day citizens who 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:23.840 raced into the crashing towers to rescue innocent people. Welcome 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:27.639 to the Buck Section show. Everyone. September eleventh, the day 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.880 that we all remember. I'm sure every single one of 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:35.920 you recalls exactly where you were on that day, what 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:40.160 you were thinking. I have told you before. I was 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.680 walking to a class up at Amherst College. The professor 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.880 looked at us all very gravely and said that there 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.400 has been a plane that has run into has flown 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.880 into one of the twin towers, and I think you 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.080 should all go back and turn on the news. And 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.360 we did, and I remember seeing the second plane hit. 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:06.000 Because my dorm was right next to the where the 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.560 classroom was, I was able to get back very quickly, 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.280 and I saw that second plane hit, and then I 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.560 watched and watched, and then saw the towers collapse. Born 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.639 and raised in this city, but first and foremost an American, 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.400 not a New Yorker. I knew that we had been 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.320 attacked and we were going to war. I remember saying, 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.040 actually to my friends, we're going to war. I didn't 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.919 know against two or what at the time, just was 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:35.360 quite obvious that this was the worst attack we had 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.640 suffered since Pearl Harbor. I didn't know at the time, 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.280 but I would end up finding myself in two wars 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.720 that would result from that day, one in a rock, 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:50.360 one in Afghanistan. And here we are now eighteen years later, 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.880 and the memory is very fresh for me. I'm sure 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.480 this form many of you as well. I also remember 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.800 being on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where I 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.040 grew up and seeing the first and only time in 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.800 my life. I think I still have photos of it 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:10.320 somewhere all up and down the Avenue American flags. There 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:13.119 were something different in the era. President Trump and Vice 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.360 President Pence were referring to it today in their remarks. 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.120 We knew we had been hit. It was devastating, we 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:24.080 lost many thousands of our own. We also knew that 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.159 we would rally, and that the greatest country, really the 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:34.200 greatest civilization the world has ever known American civilization was 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:39.080 going to show the world our resolve and not be 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.960 cowed by this, not be broken by it. And then 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.680 it led to many people from my generation and a 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:52.240 generation or two above me as well, joining the fight 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.600 in one way or another, whether in the military or 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.400 deciding that they wanted to be heroes, like those NYPD 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.720 and f D and Y individuals who gave their lives 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:07.200 trying to evacuate those towers that day. Then you also 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:12.120 had people who saw the courage of what happened on 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.760 flight ninety three and recognize that it is on all 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.839 of us to stare down and take action against evil 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:25.040 when evil presents itself. It is on all of us 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:31.760 to understand that there can be no bystanders when you 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.800 are faced with a threat like we were that day 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.280 of Islamic jihadism that viewed itself as in a civilizational 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:46.880 war against us, and that was seeking our destruction, the 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.840 downfall of our society, the elimination of our freedoms, and 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.120 with it, who knows how many generations, not just here 0:05:54.160 --> 0:06:00.640 in America but around the world left to much lesser 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.560 lives than they would have otherwise, had much less liberty, freedom, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:10.039 prosperity hope. I still remember very well what it was 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.200 like that day. I'm sure you do too. I believe 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.320 some of you, I would assume we're directly affected by 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:22.839 what happened. I think that unfortunately the country has reached 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.600 a point now where we don't think of nine to 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:31.080 eleven the way that we should all the time, which 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.719 is a reminder of how fragile our liberty really is. 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.040 That there are people, there are forces in this world 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.839 that would seek to take it away, and that we 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.320 have to be willing to meet evil head on. That 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:50.880 there is no international body, there's no way of just 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.680 finding agreement common ground with everyone all over the world 0:06:54.760 --> 0:07:00.680 who would otherwise seek to take up arms against Sometimes 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:05.280 we have to actually meet force with force. Nine to 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.120 eleven is a day that we say we will never forget. 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.640 I think unfortunately, far too many of our fellow Americans 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:17.240 have started to forget it. There is a strain of 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.920 left wing ideology in this country. I think the dominant 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.600 belief among the American left is that we overreacted to 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.680 nine to eleven. I even remember, on the day of 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:31.080 the attacks, I was told by, or rather in front 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.280 of the whole school a professor stood up and claimed 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.960 that this was a response to US foreign policy, that 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.760 more or less we got this because we deserved this. 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:44.080 That was a sentiment that you heard in some quarters 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.960 the day it happened, and the days after it happened, 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.760 when it was quite fresh that we had lost almost 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:59.440 three thousand of our own in cowardly, disgusting, psychotic suicide, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:06.720 murderer tax. My friends, this world that we live in, now, 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:11.960 this reality that we all inhabit, who are in this country, 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:17.480 of the good guys win, that's only the case because 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.640 there are good guys who are willing to give their 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:24.200 lives so it will continue to be true. And gals, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.160 of course, it's only the case because there are people 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.960 who stand up and are ready to do violence on 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:36.040 our behalf, two men who would seek to destroy us 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.000 because of our liberty, because of our freedom. I remember 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.000 we used to call it the Global War on Terror, 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.120 and then after fighting it for a number of years, 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.280 leftists came along and try to change it so that 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.920 we shouldn't call it that it's a fight against a tactic. 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.760 And then there were even movies that were made that 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.880 seemed to want to shift this into being almost a 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.360 natural disaster. It was not a natural disaster. It was 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.360 a day that the that its dates was hit with 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.280 evil and we were caught napping. Let's be very clear 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:08.439 about it. We were not prepared for what was coming 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.920 our way. That's another lesson we should never forget. It's 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.840 certainly something that we had never experienced since Pearl Harbor, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.240 and I hope we never have to experience it again. 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.640 I hope that my children and your children and so 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.680 forth never have to have a day where they wonder, 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.680 is the world ever going to be the same and 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.560 is it only going to get worse from here? I 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:36.120 had that thought. I thought maybe we would be involved 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:42.760 in endless wars, mass casualties, massive casualties on our side. 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.280 Who knew where this was really going to go. What 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.920 if the enemy had gotten weapons of mass destruction already? 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.679 What if they had acquired nuclear material. What if they 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:56.840 were going to destroy a US city, unleash biological weapons 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.800 that could kill thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands or more. 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.520 What does the world look like then, What happens to 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.559 global markets, what happens to rule of law? It was 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.320 a scary day. It's very easy now to look back 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.880 on it and think well, we were going to be fine. 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.120 We're the most powerful country in the world, and then 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.120 you get into this lulling ourselves into a sense of 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.840 fall security today, as if this could not happen again, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.120 as if there's no scenario in which the United States 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:30.520 could be the victim of a sneak attack that kills 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.960 thousands and upends our very way of life and makes 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:38.600 us feel at a core level deeply unsafe, makes us 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.640 all worry if the future that we thought we would 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.840 have as Americans was really going to be ours anymore. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:50.240 So I wish that they would spend an hour every 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:54.280 year replaying exactly what happened in that first hour of 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.360 the attack on the various news channels. I think that 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.480 would be a way to pay proper Homa chair in 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:06.840 addition to the different memorials. And but I think that 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.360 that's something that we will forget what it really felt 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.840 like that day as time passes, and there are lessons 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:17.800 that we should never ever forget. We'll get into more 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.800 of this team in just a moment, stay would me 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:25.640 my son, Kenneth Joseph Marino. Being a firefight is not 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.880 a job, it's a calling. Not everyone can do what 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.960 a firefight it does, and especially what they did on 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:36.000 September eleven, running into burning buildings when everyone else was 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.239 running out, knowing that they may not make it out themselves. 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.160 Yet they continue to do what they were called upon 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.920 to do and saved many lives on a horrific day. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.760 As we all know, many firefighters did not make it out, 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.040 and my son, Kenny was one of them. He left 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.400 behind his wife, a twenty month both son and the 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.400 three year old daughter, but his spirit lives within his 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.320 children and he would be so crowded them to day. Well, 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.719 we are hungled by Kenny's actions and the actions of 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.720 all the first responders. Eighteen years has not listened, our laws, 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:11.400 our lives have been forever changed, but we hold on 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:15.560 to and cherished the moment fields shared. I remember during 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:20.720 my time at the NYPD Intelligence Division, occasionally there would 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:25.560 be some reference by MYPD veterans, guys who've been in 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.000 the force a long time. They would just come up 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.240 that they knew somebody who was in the tower that day, 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:36.520 that they lost one of one of ours. They would say, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:40.520 one of the police officers who rushed into the buildings 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.160 tried to evacuate people, and it's very likely. I mean, 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.000 they can never know the exact number, but the estimates 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:52.240 are that our first responders law enforcement saved perhaps a 0:12:52.280 --> 0:13:00.000 few thousand lives that day by the orderly evacuation. It's difficult, 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.720 it's traumatic when you go back and read the transcripts, 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:09.080 listen to just exactly what happened. Then I today heard 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.360 a voicemail. You know, they had these voicemails that were 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.400 left behind of people that were on one of the 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.600 planes that after it was clear they were being hijacked 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.560 and used as weapons, and that it was unlikely that 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:30.640 anybody on the plane was going to survive. And that 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:35.000 choked me up today actually still does just thinking about it. 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.720 So you have to at some level go back there. 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:44.240 You have to remind yourself of exactly what we faced 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:48.120 and what happened and the losses that we sustained. Then 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.560 you also have to take away from it the bravery 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:57.400 that was on display by our own the first responders, 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:02.440 the Todd Beemer and those with him on flight ninety 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:06.000 three that day. It was a reminder that we are 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:12.040 never we are never without recourse, that the bravery of 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:17.679 the righteous can overcome anything. But man NYPD, F D 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.320 and y they were. They were never really quite the 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.880 same after that in terms of cherishing. I think the 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.720 work that each and every one of them was doing 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:30.120 every day. There was a feeling here in the city. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:31.920 I came into New York soon after nine to eleven, 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.440 there was a sense that this country had come together, 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.240 and I do think we missed that sometimes now I 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.320 think we missed it a lot. It didn't last all 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.160 that long. We're going to talk about the politics of 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:48.240 this in a moment, because there are idiot leftists out there, 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:53.280 including members of Congress and also major media outlets that 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:58.520 have acted like fools today, total fools. And what's perhaps 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.760 even more unsettling is they've shown us what they really 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:07.080 think of nine to eleven, that they still don't get it, 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:14.080 or perhaps they reject some very important realities of that day. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:21.960 There is a movement right now. I cannot even I 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.960 can't say it without getting angry. But I'll just tell 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.840 you today you had over at CNN on the anniversary 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:33.000 of nine to eleven doing a quote reality check under 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:37.200 the headline America's nine to eleven Amnesia, and then in 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.160 the big screen behind one of their one of their 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:46.720 anchors was right wingers are America's deadliest terrorists. That's right, 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.080 on today, of all days. We have to be told 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:55.640 this idiotic lie. It is not true, But we have 0:15:55.680 --> 0:16:00.240 to be told that conservatives are the real threat. Yet 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:05.280 nineteen hijackers, fifteen of them Saudi Arabia, nineteen of them Muslims, 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.960 and we have to be told that it is our 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:14.600 own domestic American conservatism that we should all be worried about. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.680 And there were some corrections that different media outlets have 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.000 had to make in the last few days that I 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:24.640 think we're particularly illuminating. Perhaps foremost among them was the 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:30.640 New York Times today. This was you couldn't if you thought, 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.720 if you said this might happen, people would tell you no, 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:41.120 They're not that obvious about trying to make this seem 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.640 like it was a natural disaster, like this wasn't the 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.640 result of an enemy that had been at war with 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.359 us for a long time. In fact, really an ideology 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.200 that has been at war with us, with America in 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:56.360 one form or another, stretching back to the founding, you 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:59.560 can go back to the war against the Barbary pirates, 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:04.879 Jeff and Adams and the emissary from the Barbary States, 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.120 telling our own Secretary of State that they make war 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.160 on us because the Koran tells them that they can, 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.080 and that we are infidels, and that that is just 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.280 the way it is going to be. A lot of 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.920 people reject this history and say that that's not really 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.119 something that we need to focus on. I mean, I 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.359 didn't learn anything about the Barbary pirates in school. I've 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.919 had to learn on my own. The New York Times meanwhile, 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.199 has a different view of what happened that day, it seems, 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:35.080 because they shared from their official Twitter account on September 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:40.280 eleventh today. Earlier today, eighteen years have passed since airplanes 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:44.520 took aim and brought down the World Trade Center. Today, 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.440 families will once again gather and grieve at the site 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:52.240 where more than two thousand people died. Airplanes took aim. Folks, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.399 it was those rogue airplanes. Perhaps there was a mechanical 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.240 failure on all of them at once. Something must have 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.360 gone wrong in the airplanes because they took aim. These 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.159 inanimate objects. No nineteen human beings who are part of 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:14.520 a coherent aggressive, colonialist and world dominating if they get 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.280 their way ideology, came up with a plan to try 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:22.199 to ruin this country where people live in freedom and 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:28.080 happiness and decency in civilized fashion. They try to ruin 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.760 that it was human beings, it was an enemy, it 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.159 was an ideology, It was radical Islam. New York Times 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:37.600 wanted us to forget that. Today I have to ask why, 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.760 how could they make that mistake. We'll get into that 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:46.760 Care was founded after nine eleven because they recognized that 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.720 some people did something and that all of us were 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:56.879 starting to lose access to our civil liberties. Some people 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:03.399 did something. It's a sitting member of the United States 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:11.360 Congress Democrat from Minnesota. Some people did something. I think 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:15.679 it's a pretty big damn thing that they did, and 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:21.120 a horrible one and a life altering life taking in 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:26.920 so many thousands of cases. One but this mentality, this 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:32.480 idea that there should be a revisiting, a revisionism around 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.800 nine to eleven. It's not new. It's been there for 0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:41.040 quite some time. And there are people on the left 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:46.760 who have never really been honest about what happened that day. 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.200 There are many people in the Democratic Party who still 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:56.119 think that the biggest problem was, in fact, the Islamophobia 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:58.880 that resulted from nine to eleven now I will tell 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.840 you this, and I've said in years passed on radio, 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:07.960 I think it's I think it bears repeating the fact 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:12.960 that we had nineteen hijackers, all of whom were Muslim, 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:17.320 engage in this mass casualty attack, this act of war 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:23.280 and cowardice against the American people, and there were so 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.760 few cases I'm not saying there were none, but so 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:35.479 few cases of retaliation of violent bigotry against the Muslim 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:37.640 community in this country is just a testament to who 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.000 we are as people. Who we are as Americans. We 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.639 recognize that every individual is is only responsible for his 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:50.399 or her actions. You don't punish people because someone else 0:20:50.480 --> 0:20:53.600 did something who looks like them, praised like them, comes 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:56.680 from the same place as them. That would be immoral, 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:02.720 and you can't fight immorality by becoming evil yourself. But 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:04.679 I don't think we get enough credit as a country, 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:08.239 if anything, for that that it was a reminder of 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:14.040 just how decent, intolerant, and kind and generally speaking loving 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.600 the American people are to each other day to day. 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.680 Instead the narrative you often hear from the left as well, 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.600 there was a rise in hate crimes that we you 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.080 know that that's the biggest threat today. The New York 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:33.159 Times had a whole page of editorials that had only 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:38.040 one only one editorial on September eleventh, on the anniversary 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:42.400 of this attack that even dealt with the attack, and 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:45.760 it was to talk about the first person perspective of 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:50.040 somebody who was concerned about the otherness and loss of 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.680 civil liberties that he was concerned about as a Muslim American. 0:21:55.119 --> 0:22:00.719 That's it. Nothing about the sacrifice of so many who 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.960 served in our military who went over to root out 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:08.080 these terrorists, which was absolutely needed. Was the right response 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:12.240 to go into Afghanistan and eradicate al Qaeda and their 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:16.560 Taliban hosts. We lost people in that fight. And yes, 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:18.960 there were a lot of terrorists, by the way, in 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.240 Iraq as well. We could talk about whether they showed 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:24.639 up after Saddam fell or whether they were there in 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.800 the first place, depends on who and what we're what 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:34.480 we're looking at specifically. But some of the most evil 0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:39.080 jihadest imaginable were taken off the battlefield in Iraq as well, 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:44.240 and that was by our military, particularly our Special Operations community, 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:52.040 going after high value targets. Yes, there are liberals today 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:56.359 who would rather move past this and pretend that it 0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:59.720 was something other than what it was. It was a natural, 0:22:59.720 --> 0:23:03.320 Desig asked her. It was aberrant. It had nothing to 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:07.919 do with Islamic radicalism specifically. It was just this one group, 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:12.280 this one small subset of radical Islam that attacked us 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.879 on that day, and maybe US foreign policy had been 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.600 a little too hubristic for a while and this was 0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:20.080 a way of keeping us in check. There are liberals 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:24.560 who make those arguments, there are leftists who believe this stuff. 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:30.959 I can't imagine anybody saying in reference to nine to eleven, 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:33.760 you know, some people skipping past it like it's a footnote. 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:38.320 Some people did something, and this from someone who had 0:23:38.359 --> 0:23:43.480 to flee a country that is a mess to come 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:47.480 to this country, which welcomed her not just with open arms, 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:52.800 but made her a member of our elected body. But 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:56.080 nine to eleven's a footnote. Nine eleven is something that 0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:59.720 you just referenced in passing as though it was really 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:05.159 just in the course of normal American history and things happen. 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:11.280 Some people did something stunning. But there's a lot that 0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:14.080 you can look to today to show you that the 0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:16.640 politics of nine to eleven are still being fought out 0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:22.000 in public. There are leftist media organizations that really think 0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:26.320 that they should focus they should use Not eleven to 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:30.240 focus on the real threat, which is Trump's fascism and 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:34.240 right wing extremism. And as I've done before, if we're 0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:35.800 going to talk about where we have to look for 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.040 the real threat of terrorism, let's look, for example, at 0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:46.400 the percentage of the population that would be fall under 0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:52.239 under the white conservative male that the media outlets want 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:54.479 to tell us is the main terrorist threat, and then 0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:57.960 the percentage of the population that would fall under what 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:02.040 could be radical Islam. And then you crunch the numbers, 0:25:02.080 --> 0:25:05.160 you say, wow, there's definitely a disparity here, isn't there. 0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.920 That's perhaps a conversation we'll get into more another day. 0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.080 But it's a hard day to day. I really mean 0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:16.040 that I think about I go back in my mind 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:20.480 every year, and I'm not particularly active on social media. 0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:23.679 I don't write a reflection every your My reflection is this. 0:25:23.800 --> 0:25:27.360 It's this show and what I consider throughout the day, 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.000 and like so many of you, how it changed my life. 0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:34.679 I remember, before nine to eleven, I thought America was 0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:38.440 just the good guys had won and everything the world 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.840 was just going to keep getting better and wealthier and 0:25:41.000 --> 0:25:46.320 safer and happier, and the fights that my generation would 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:50.399 have would be around, you know, minor things or manageable 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:53.120 domestic things. You know, how do we almost entirely eliminate 0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:55.840 violent crime? How do we make sure that, you know, 0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:59.000 everybody has access to a good home and education and 0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:00.680 all the things that we talk about as a country 0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:05.320 all the time. And then this happened, and a few 0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.719 million of my fellow Americans answered the call and decided 0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:10.040 that they were going to show up and fight for 0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:13.920 their country. I have to say, for all this talk 0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:18.919 that you hear, it has become very commonplace to have 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.119 all this stuff about how you know, millennial, oh, millennials this, 0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:27.240 and millennials that millennials are so bratty and Okay, well, 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:29.680 I'm technically a millennial, and I know a lot of 0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:35.919 millennials that said, sign me up for my country. I 0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:37.880 will give my life. You tell me where to go, 0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:41.040 you tell me where the bad guys are. Let's do 0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:46.800 this the bar from Todd Biemer, Let's roll. I think 0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:49.800 we have to remember those millennials and Gen X and 0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:52.960 jen Y and boomers and everybody else who showed up. 0:26:53.000 --> 0:26:55.960 But I'm part of what I think you could term 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:59.520 the nine to eleven generation, people who were adults and 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:04.840 of military fighting age when this thing happened, and there 0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:08.320 were a lot of people who their lives changed, and 0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.240 people also gave their lives in response to this one event, 0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:14.920 this one day. It is a formative, a formative day 0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:19.720 for America, one that will be with us forever. And 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.080 it's a question of what we do as a result 0:27:22.080 --> 0:27:25.600 and how we go forward. So we must remember what 0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:29.720 the attack was, who came after us, and why, and 0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:36.200 then take courage and take some degree of hope from 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:38.600 the fact that we rallied as the nation that we 0:27:38.640 --> 0:27:43.000 know we are and men. We should be proud of 0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:45.600 all those who served and took the fight to the enemy, 0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:49.680 and also just proud of the way that America responded 0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:57.760 as a country. Overwhelmingly, we rallied as one. Let's talk 0:27:57.800 --> 0:27:59.920 about a little bit of the aftermath of the bull 0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:02.359 the situation. I've got more for you. Stay with me. 0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:07.359 Some people did something, said a freshman congresswoman from Minnesota, 0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:13.439 to support and justify the creation of care. Today, I 0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:17.119 am here to respond to you exactly who did what, 0:28:17.880 --> 0:28:25.080 to whom madam. Objectively speaking, we know who and what 0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:30.879 was done. There is no uncertainty about that. Why your confusion? 0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:36.240 On that day, nineteen Islamic terrorists, members of al Qaida 0:28:36.400 --> 0:28:40.600 killed over three thousand people and caused billions and dollars 0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:47.760 of economic damage. Is that clear? But as to whom 0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:52.720 I was attacked? Your relatives and friends were attacked, Our 0:28:52.720 --> 0:28:57.680 constitutional freedoms were attacked, and our nation's founding on Judeo 0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:04.000 Christian principles were attacked. That's what some people did. Got that. 0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:09.520 Now we are here today, foundress woman, to tell you 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:13.440 in the squad, just who did what to whom? I'm 0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:18.760 sure he's a fact in honoring them? Please, American patriotism, 0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:23.200 I mean your position demanded for God in country. Amen. 0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:29.720 Nine eleven victims Son there calling out the words of 0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:36.520 a representative Omar today at a nine eleven remembrance ceremony. 0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:39.000 I just I thought you should hear those words. So 0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:44.400 I told you we would talk about Bolton. I don't 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:47.000 want to talk about him much more, just a couple 0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:48.800 of minutes and then we'll move on to some other things. 0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:52.040 The warn't Afghanistan, ending the war in Afghanistan, which I 0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:55.800 think is in some ways, that would be the most 0:29:57.280 --> 0:30:01.840 fitting takeaway after this week of rememberance would be Okay, 0:30:01.920 --> 0:30:04.280 let's remember what happened, and then let's also remember that 0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:08.240 we should not expend one more life in that country 0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:15.440 than is absolutely necessary. I've had too many losses already, 0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:20.120 too much mission creep, too much drift, too much lack 0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:27.200 of focus, lack of a strategic imperative. Enough is enough. 0:30:29.400 --> 0:30:31.600 Then you have to think about who makes these decisions 0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:37.400 and who's in charge Bolton and I think you know 0:30:37.440 --> 0:30:40.560 where I stand on Bolton in general. But all of 0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:43.720 a sudden, now the left is very concerned that Democrats 0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.480 are so concerned? How could you get rid of Bolton? 0:30:47.040 --> 0:30:49.800 If you had asked any Democrat six months ago, what 0:30:49.880 --> 0:30:52.560 do you think of Ambassador John Bolton? They would their 0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:56.880 national security advisor slash Ambassador Bolton. They would have said, 0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:01.440 you know, he's a madman, wants to invade countries, bloodthirsty's 0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:04.640 a warmonger. That if it all kinds of horrible things. Ah. 0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:08.000 But this week, this news cycle, there's some possibility that 0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:11.040 attacking Bolton is a way, or rather, defending Bolton is 0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:17.120 a way of attacking Trump, And so it all changes. Actually, 0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:22.320 they say, Bolton's like really smart and an adult in 0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.800 the room, and getting rid of him is a terrible 0:31:25.840 --> 0:31:27.680 thing for Trump. That who just goes to show that 0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:31.800 Trump is in disarray and you can't trust his judgment 0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:39.520 and doesn't know anything, doesn't understand anything you have. For example, 0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:45.320 Senator Chris Coons is very upset at the prospect of, 0:31:45.800 --> 0:31:50.560 or rather at the news of Bolton's firing. Well, Bolton 0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:56.880 was President Trump's third national security advisor. Obviously Flynn had 0:31:56.920 --> 0:32:00.320 the briefest tenure. I think there's a lot that we 0:32:00.360 --> 0:32:03.680 need to know about what caused this abrupt firing by 0:32:03.720 --> 0:32:07.160 tweet of the president's national security advisor, what the policy 0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:11.920 differences were, and what this means about stability America's place 0:32:11.960 --> 0:32:14.360 in the world and the decision making team that surrounds 0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:18.320 our president. This is all nonsense. First of all, the 0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:21.800 little swipe that he took at Flynn, who was set 0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:25.600 up by deep staters at the dj and FBI, people 0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.800 like Sally Yates, who abused the spirit of the law, 0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:30.600 if not the letter of the law, in order to 0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:33.719 take out someone they politically disapproved of. It was disgusting 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:35.480 what they did to Flynn. I don't care if you 0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:36.880 lie or not. You never should have been put in 0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:43.160 that position in the first place. But here you have 0:32:44.160 --> 0:32:49.080 Senator Coon saying that we have to worry about stability. Well, 0:32:49.120 --> 0:32:51.560 you could have one national security advisor for a really 0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.720 long time. It doesn't mean that any decisions are good. 0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:58.800 And this is also where people have a very limited 0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:03.080 understand including members of Congress, and most people in Congress 0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:07.640 to talk about foreign policy are intellectual dilettants on the subject. 0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:11.280 At best. They're not knowledgeable. They're not thoughtful. They don't 0:33:11.280 --> 0:33:13.400 know history, they don't know policy. They just know what 0:33:13.440 --> 0:33:16.760 they have to say to stay in good stead with 0:33:16.880 --> 0:33:21.080 their own party and to keep the donation dollars rolling 0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.800 in and get reelected. That's what they're concerned about when 0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:26.720 it comes to foreign policy. They're really not thoughtful on 0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:31.600 the issue at all. I'm actually usually deeply unimpressed with 0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:36.360 Congress on matters of statecraft abroad. Most members of Congress 0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:43.840 I have on some issues, really very much agreed with 0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.560 Senator Lindsey Graham. Sometimes on foreign policy we do not 0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:52.440 particularly see, although I think as foreign policy changes quite 0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:55.480 a bit, I do agree with them on this. Whether 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:58.680 Bolton resigned or was fired. It doesn't matter, and he's 0:33:58.760 --> 0:34:01.760 darn right on that one. Did you Buller resigned or 0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:04.640 the president? I don't know, And again I don't think 0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:07.760 it matters. I think he served honorably and I appreciate 0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:10.640 his service to our country. And the president has right 0:34:10.680 --> 0:34:14.080 to choose somebody has trust in, and we'll get a 0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:18.399 new national security advisor here soon. Plenty of people can 0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:22.040 do this job. There are a lot of folks who 0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:30.840 have fantastic intellectual, academic, and service credentials to do this job. 0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:32.800 You know, they've served their country in one role or 0:34:32.800 --> 0:34:36.120 another and would be an excellent Remember, this is an 0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:39.040 advisory role to the president. The President's got plenty of advisors. 0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:42.720 There's lots of information out there for him to glean. 0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:47.440 And this is not some crisis they want to make 0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:49.880 it seem like, oh my gosh, without a bolt and disarray. 0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.200 How many White House disarray stories have you seen? Has 0:34:52.200 --> 0:34:55.719 any of it mattered? You know? Does it matter that 0:34:55.800 --> 0:35:01.359 they told Taylorson to pass his bags and hit the road? 0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:05.440 Does it matter they told Scaramucci a rivederci? I mean, 0:35:05.440 --> 0:35:10.480 does it matter that they vooted? Uh? You know, you 0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:13.160 know who? I can't even think of what's his name, Kelly. 0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:17.879 I mean, these people served, some of them longer than others, 0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:19.800 some of them more honorably than others. But they served, 0:35:19.800 --> 0:35:21.239 and then the President's like, I don't want you to 0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:25.080 do this anymore. Go do something else. That's it. They 0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:27.359 try to overcomplicate this with these stories of oh, there's 0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:30.319 a lock of stability. There are tons of people in 0:35:30.440 --> 0:35:33.600 DC and across the country who could be very fit 0:35:33.680 --> 0:35:36.400 advisors for the president on national security, where this is 0:35:36.400 --> 0:35:40.320 not a crisis. It's not a problem. The only crisis 0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:42.239 is that my phone hasn't rung yet. President Trump, I 0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:43.920 don't know what to tell you, buddy. I'm here for you. 0:35:44.480 --> 0:35:47.640 You need me. You're a lot better than Bolton. I'll 0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:49.920 tell you that much can be right bad. We had 0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:55.279 peace talks scheduled a few days ago. I called them 0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:58.239 off when I learned that they had killed a great 0:35:58.280 --> 0:36:03.000 American soldier from port Rico and eleven other innocent people. 0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:07.520 They thought they would use this attack to show strength, 0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:13.320 but actually what they showed is unrelenting weakness. The last 0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:17.480 four days, we have hit our enemy harder than they 0:36:17.520 --> 0:36:25.000 have ever been hit before. And that will continue, and 0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:28.880 if for any reason they come back to our country. 0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:32.799 We will go wherever they are and use power the 0:36:32.880 --> 0:36:36.000 likes of which the United States has never used before. 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:40.359 And I'm not even talking about nuclear power. They will 0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:45.520 never have seen anything like what will happen to them. 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:49.600 President Trump is right on the very important, very fundamental 0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:51.719 position here of ending the war in Afghanistan, and in 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:56.480 my opinion, it needs to be done. I also understand 0:36:56.520 --> 0:36:59.120 what that would mean, and I have said to you 0:36:59.160 --> 0:37:01.600 we should all be quite clear on this. I did 0:37:01.600 --> 0:37:04.120 not agree with the President inviting the Taliban to Camp David, 0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:07.440 but perhaps he thought that that was just going to 0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:11.360 get the final, you know, that final piece in place 0:37:11.480 --> 0:37:15.480 for a truce. I did not think that was the 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:16.800 right move, But I think that he's right on a 0:37:16.920 --> 0:37:19.600 much more important issue of what should happen now. How 0:37:19.640 --> 0:37:26.040 should we end America's longest ever war, and whatever agreements 0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:29.120 that we have from the Taliban, assurances we receive from 0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:32.960 the Taliban, we should be very clear on this is 0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:37.360 likely they will break some, if not all, of It 0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:42.919 is likely that they will double cross whatever diplomatic agreements 0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:45.279 we reach. It's just a question of when they think 0:37:45.280 --> 0:37:47.759 it's in their interest to do it, how long we 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.880 wait for it to happen, and how bad the damages 0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:58.080 when it happens. But that's where we are. The alternative, though, 0:37:58.239 --> 0:38:01.080 is to just continue to think that if we have 0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:04.480 about ten thousand or so troops stationed in this country, 0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:08.719 things are going to get better. They're not going to 0:38:08.719 --> 0:38:13.400 get better. We need to be willing to say that 0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:16.160 we will end the war in Afghanistan. Remember the Taliman's 0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:20.040 not in charge. Now, We've done a tremendous amount spent 0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:25.560 so many billions of dollars mentoring training, assisting Afghan military, 0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:29.960 Afghan police. At some point you have to take the 0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:32.360 training wheels off this country and let it ride on 0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:36.880 its own. And I think we're there and if something 0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:39.720 goes wrong, and I do believe there's a very decent 0:38:39.800 --> 0:38:43.000 chance that that may be the case. If something does 0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:47.839 in fact go wrong, we know this going into it, 0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:50.719 that there is that risk. So I do believe that 0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:56.200 President Trump is correct in trying to end this war 0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:59.360 in Afghanistan. But I also think that and people have 0:38:59.360 --> 0:39:01.560 asked me, why why do I feel differently, for example, 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:04.160 about the true presence in Iraq than I did about 0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:09.080 troops troops in Afghanistan rather versus Iraq, and I would 0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:11.479 just say that in the case of Iraq, you have 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:20.960 a much you had a much more established central government, bureaucracy, infrastructure. 0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:26.960 Iraq compared to Afghanistan, was a much more developed country 0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:31.319 and had far greater resources. Remember, Iraq has a lot 0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:35.480 of oil, folks, Iraq is not is not some you know, 0:39:35.600 --> 0:39:39.919 dirt poor third world country that can't get any revenues going. 0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:43.680 I mean, they're doing, they're doing. I think in recent 0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:47.360 years they've gotten upwards of eighty or ninety billion dollars 0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:50.880 in oil revenue, and it might be even higher than 0:39:50.920 --> 0:39:53.040 that now I should probably check and see exactly what 0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:56.960 it is. But you know, Afghanistan has nothing like that. 0:39:57.000 --> 0:40:00.239 In fact, the only real revenue stream that enough Stan 0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:02.480 has ever had that started to feel like it could 0:40:02.520 --> 0:40:05.000 go in that direction was the illegal heroin trade through 0:40:05.080 --> 0:40:10.239 the opium poppies that they were growing. So I've got 0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:13.520 to tell you, it's just a different it's a different country, 0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:16.720 it's a different situation, just because those are two wars 0:40:16.760 --> 0:40:20.600 that we that we started, or in the case of Afghanistan, 0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:22.880 we were retaliated. But those are two wars that happened 0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:26.040 close to each other. It doesn't mean that they're similar 0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:29.080 strategic situations. It doesn't mean that the likelihood of success 0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:32.440 is the same in both places. And we've done everything 0:40:32.440 --> 0:40:34.640 we can do in Afghanistan. I have not heard one 0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:40.600 person credibly say that the outcome at Afghanistan is likely 0:40:40.640 --> 0:40:42.759 to be different if we stay longer. I haven't heard 0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:48.799 a single person take that position, not one. What does 0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:53.759 that tell you? What does that mean to you? Have 0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:57.360 we learned the lesson? This is a time for this discussion. 0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:01.120 It is the day of September eleventh. We remember what 0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:03.120 it was to be attacked on that day. We have 0:41:03.239 --> 0:41:09.040 been in Afghanistan for almost twenty years. I think that 0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:13.520 Trump's warning to anyone who would use Afghanistan again as 0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:16.840 a platform for a similar attack is well put. I 0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:20.520 think that's exactly what our position should be. I'm here 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.239 in New York City. I grew up in this town. 0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:26.239 Those were America. It was America who's attacked on that day, 0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:29.960 but it was New Yorkers who were and DC area 0:41:30.000 --> 0:41:31.600 residents for the most part. I know there are also 0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:35.680 people on the plans who comprised the mass of the 0:41:35.719 --> 0:41:40.359 casualties and if we got hit again anywhere in this 0:41:40.400 --> 0:41:43.040 country or anywhere around the world that killed Americans in 0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:46.239 a mass casualty attack, and we found out that it 0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:49.279 was because the Taliban was harboring them. We're going to 0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:52.239 go back and our ferocity is going to be a 0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:57.200 thing that people will, I think be a bit astonished 0:41:57.200 --> 0:42:01.319 at for the ages, but that's what we should do. 0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:04.200 Otherwise we're just going to be in this country forever 0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:05.840 trying to make it a better place than it is. 0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:09.520 It's not on us. We can't make them have a 0:42:09.600 --> 0:42:12.800 decent civil society. We can't make them have a country 0:42:13.239 --> 0:42:16.239 with rule of law. I mean, I would just point, 0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:20.400 I would point to look at the situation, say in 0:42:21.000 --> 0:42:24.919 Japan or in France after the Second World War. Those 0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:27.120 are countries that got up and running very quickly after 0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:31.399 the war, and both have done very well since then. 0:42:32.600 --> 0:42:36.720 But they were far more established nation states, much further 0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:39.359 along developmentally in terms of their civil society, in terms 0:42:39.400 --> 0:42:41.840 of their national identity. Look, Afghanistan has a big problem 0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:46.799 with where the loyalty of the population realies. Is it 0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:49.799 to tribe or is it to country. If you are 0:42:49.840 --> 0:42:54.719 a Pashtun from the South, from Hellman, from Kandahar, you 0:42:54.840 --> 0:42:58.880 care more about fellow Pashtuns or do you care about 0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:03.799 what the sent government in Kabble tells you. These are 0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:05.680 problems for them to work out, not for us to 0:43:05.719 --> 0:43:09.399 work out. So I do think that President Trump is 0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:11.040 is correct here, and he's going to get a lot 0:43:11.080 --> 0:43:15.400 of heat. I also worry that there are some people 0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:20.120 with very loud voices in this debate who have not 0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:23.560 just ideological but maybe even financial incentives for us to stay. 0:43:24.960 --> 0:43:28.880 And as difficult as that even to just think about 0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:33.319 anyone trying to direct US foreign policy toward a continued 0:43:33.480 --> 0:43:36.440 military presence where we're taking casualties, where we're having to 0:43:36.440 --> 0:43:40.880 engage the enemy because of dollars and cents. It's a 0:43:40.920 --> 0:43:44.040 real thing, unfortunately, and I do believe that there are 0:43:44.040 --> 0:43:46.480 some out there who would like to see a continued 0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:51.320 presence in Afghanistan for that reason. But Trump wants to 0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:53.719 get us out. I hope he's I hope he's successful. 0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:58.879 There's no better takeaway from this this week in terms 0:43:58.880 --> 0:44:01.879 of an immediate policy response than ending the war in Afghanistan. 0:44:02.280 --> 0:44:07.400 I try to keep my politics separate from the stuff 0:44:07.440 --> 0:44:10.760 that I write. The stories, because I think people like story, 0:44:10.960 --> 0:44:13.600 people want story and you know, if they want the 0:44:13.719 --> 0:44:16.000 news they want to, you know, the stuff, they can 0:44:16.040 --> 0:44:19.600 go on and get on MSNBC, or they can go 0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:24.719 on Fox or whatever. But sometimes life comes along and 0:44:24.880 --> 0:44:28.000 imitates art steady the other way around. And as I 0:44:28.120 --> 0:44:31.640 was rewriting this book, all at once I find out 0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:35.360 Unlocking little Kids up in caging on the border, and 0:44:35.680 --> 0:44:42.279 I'm thinking to myself, this type my book. Wow, that's 0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:45.160 Stephen King. I've never read a Stephen King books. I'll 0:44:45.200 --> 0:44:46.600 just be honest, but I've never read a novel by 0:44:46.640 --> 0:44:50.040 Stephen King, so I can't speak to whether they're worthwhile 0:44:50.160 --> 0:44:54.640 or not. I know he's been very, very very successful financially, 0:44:54.640 --> 0:44:57.000 he sold a lot of books. But I thought that 0:44:57.080 --> 0:44:59.680 was it was interesting one that you catch this with 0:44:59.760 --> 0:45:03.600 a lot of a lot of liberals out there in 0:45:04.600 --> 0:45:07.239 the entertainment media, where they say, well, you know, I 0:45:07.360 --> 0:45:09.920 understand I should be entertaining people, but then I something 0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:14.600 so important comes along, something so important comes along that 0:45:16.760 --> 0:45:19.719 I had to just make a connection to politics. I 0:45:19.960 --> 0:45:22.719 couldn't stand back from it. And I tell you, these days, 0:45:24.200 --> 0:45:27.280 I just don't even want to know sometimes because it'll 0:45:27.400 --> 0:45:30.719 ruin something for me to find out that an individual 0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:32.640 involved in it. You know, we'll say, well, you know, 0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:35.440 I don't even clearly in the Trump era. This is 0:45:35.440 --> 0:45:37.400 why we need to know, you know, it's always this 0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:40.160 is why I won't watch the what's the show where 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:42.800 the women go around and the bonnets, you know, because 0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.400 they're all they're all super oppressed. They're actually oppressed, but 0:45:45.560 --> 0:45:49.560 unlike women in America today. But you know, I'm talking 0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:52.719 about the show with the bonnets and the weird they 0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:56.840 look like a bunch of Puritans. Handmaid's Tale, the Handmaids. 0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:58.759 I refuse to watch it because it's all, oh, this 0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:04.240 is what would happen if Mike Pence were president. No, no, no, 0:46:04.719 --> 0:46:08.960 all right, let's not be completely insane. Like Pence is 0:46:08.960 --> 0:46:12.319 a very nice man, very nice family. He's not going 0:46:12.360 --> 0:46:16.160 to make America into the Handmaid's Tale. He couldn't even 0:46:16.160 --> 0:46:17.920 if he wanted to, and he doesn't want to. So 0:46:17.960 --> 0:46:23.720 what are we even talking about? But I digress. Stephen 0:46:23.760 --> 0:46:25.560 King here is saying that, you know, he has a 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:26.880 story and I don't even know what it is. That 0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:30.799 there's a crossover or there's a connection between you know, 0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:33.120 kids in cages and some of you who watched when 0:46:33.120 --> 0:46:34.960 I was on Bill Maher a few weeks or now 0:46:35.000 --> 0:46:38.600 about a month ago, and the former governor of Michigan, 0:46:38.719 --> 0:46:41.600 Jennifer Granholm, at one point just turn I was trying 0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:44.440 to talk to Bill about immigration and talk about it. 0:46:44.480 --> 0:46:47.520 I wasn't. I wasn't, you know, shouting or being aggressive 0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:49.480 or anything. She just turned me and just yelled kids 0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:53.799 in cages, kids in cages, as though that was the 0:46:53.920 --> 0:46:56.560 argument ender that she had been looking for all night. 0:46:56.600 --> 0:46:58.120 And I looked at her, like, this person was a 0:46:58.160 --> 0:47:01.319 governor of a major state, Michigan, and we gotta have 0:47:01.320 --> 0:47:05.360 a talk Michigan. Wherever you are, we gotta have a 0:47:05.440 --> 0:47:07.399 chat about how well, then again, you're probably like yahbo, 0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:12.279 you're in New York where the Cuomo's are a dynasty 0:47:12.360 --> 0:47:16.160 and they run everything, and if you don't like it, 0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:20.920 the lesser Cuomo will threaten to ruin your bleep and 0:47:21.160 --> 0:47:26.000 bleeping throw you down a flight of bleeping stairs because 0:47:26.000 --> 0:47:31.280 he's a bleeping CNN anchor. Do not call him Fraido. 0:47:32.880 --> 0:47:35.839 So I guess it's not fair to hold Michigan responsible 0:47:35.920 --> 0:47:39.480 for it's governor if we're not gonna hold New York 0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:43.479 responsible for its governor. Governor Cuomo Oh my I feel 0:47:43.480 --> 0:47:44.839 like one day I'm gonna meet him and he's gonna 0:47:44.880 --> 0:47:47.120 be like, are you the one who does the very 0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:54.239 loud and stupid impersonation of me? Nobody needs a bazuka 0:47:54.480 --> 0:48:01.160 to kill a squirrel. We need bazuka reform. Now you'll 0:48:01.160 --> 0:48:03.440 remember that too. He didn't exactly say that. It's a 0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:05.920 little bit of exaggeration, but he did give quite a 0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:08.840 speech about that back in the day. But you have 0:48:10.160 --> 0:48:11.920 Graham looked at me and said that about kids in 0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:15.400 cage and Stephen King is talking about how art imitates 0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:17.520 life or life imitates art or whatever it is with 0:48:17.560 --> 0:48:20.279 a book he wrote, and kids in Cages, And to 0:48:20.400 --> 0:48:23.120 this I always want to ask, and I really mean this, 0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:25.680 It would be an interesting exercise for me if I 0:48:25.680 --> 0:48:30.520 could get one of these libs that is so just 0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:34.640 freaked out about what's gone on in our southern border 0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:37.400 with the enforcement of existing immigration laws. I would like 0:48:37.480 --> 0:48:41.080 to walk them through what is really happening there and 0:48:41.200 --> 0:48:46.399 ask what they think the policy should be, because I 0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:50.759 think what you would invariably find out from some very 0:48:51.120 --> 0:48:55.920 loud and opinionated leftists on the matter of immigration is 0:48:55.960 --> 0:49:01.960 that anything short of open borders is going to be 0:49:02.040 --> 0:49:07.480 insufficient for them, meaning any real enforcement of immigration laws 0:49:07.560 --> 0:49:11.040 is unacceptable. But the moment you say to them, but 0:49:11.120 --> 0:49:14.799 you are four open borders, there's a no, I'm not no, 0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:19.120 of course not I can of that all right, Well, 0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:22.560 that means that people don't just get to show up, 0:49:23.000 --> 0:49:26.080 and not everyone who comes here, especially those who come 0:49:26.120 --> 0:49:29.360 here in violation of laws, are going to get to stay. 0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:32.040 And if they don't get to stay, that means you 0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:34.879 have to deport them. And if you're going to deport them, 0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:37.239 you have to detain them. If you're going to detain them, 0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:39.040 you have to arrest them. And if you're going to 0:49:39.160 --> 0:49:42.439 arrest them, you do have to hold them in some 0:49:42.640 --> 0:49:47.600 form of restricted movement facility, which is going to involve 0:49:48.040 --> 0:49:55.920 fences or wires or walls or whatever. Not cages per se, 0:49:56.120 --> 0:50:00.279 but some form of restricted movement domicile. You're I have 0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:03.719 to or else. Well, we're on the honor system. Yeah, 0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:05.400 show up tomorrow. We're gonna have a bus here, and 0:50:05.400 --> 0:50:08.640 we're gonna deport you. If you don't show up, we're 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:10.719 gonna find you. We're gonna ask you again. Because we 0:50:10.800 --> 0:50:13.560 can't detain you, that's mean we can't hold you. In 0:50:13.600 --> 0:50:15.959 a facility that you don't want to be in, that's 0:50:16.000 --> 0:50:18.880 not comfortable, and where things you know aren't the way 0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:23.040 you'd like them to be. The reality when I was 0:50:23.080 --> 0:50:26.480 in the when I was at the border in at 0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:29.319 Tijuana and San Diego, Sport of Patrol told me that 0:50:29.400 --> 0:50:31.920 some of the illegals that would cross over and surrender, 0:50:31.960 --> 0:50:35.359 remember that's illegal. You can't do that. It's cutting it's 0:50:35.480 --> 0:50:38.759 quite literally cutting the line because you're supposed to go 0:50:38.800 --> 0:50:42.399 to a port of entry and wait at that port 0:50:42.400 --> 0:50:44.480 of entry, and if there's too many people at the 0:50:44.480 --> 0:50:46.359 port of entry that day, you got to come back 0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:48.560 the next day. If you surrender, it means you just 0:50:48.640 --> 0:50:51.200 walk across the border and say here I am. That's 0:50:51.239 --> 0:50:55.320 illegal because we have a system, because there are rules. 0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.200 But I remember the border patrol agents telling me in 0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:01.960 San Diego they would have a legal show up and 0:51:01.960 --> 0:51:04.680 would start demanding I mean they would demand food right 0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:08.160 away and they'd have to the border patrol aldience were 0:51:08.200 --> 0:51:09.520 being told, you know, so when are you when are 0:51:09.520 --> 0:51:11.560 you bringing me before they've even been processed, when are 0:51:11.600 --> 0:51:14.440 you bring him my food? As if they're like a 0:51:14.520 --> 0:51:17.319 maitre d service for illegal aliens I'm being serious. They 0:51:17.360 --> 0:51:21.719 told me that this happened. Oh wow, I mean that's you. 0:51:21.760 --> 0:51:23.879 Don't You don't hear that story in the mainstream media, 0:51:24.040 --> 0:51:26.719 do you? Yeah? Going to McDonald's. I know, I know 0:51:26.760 --> 0:51:29.600 you're supposed to arrest me, because that's what you do 0:51:29.680 --> 0:51:34.440 when someone breaks the law for violating the sovereign territory 0:51:34.560 --> 0:51:36.960 of America and breaking US federal law, and they're supposed 0:51:36.960 --> 0:51:39.640 to arrest me. But really, I know that Pelosi and 0:51:39.680 --> 0:51:43.120 the Democrats and AOC are calling the shots here. So 0:51:43.200 --> 0:51:45.719 why don't you Border Patrol Go get me a McDonald's 0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:50.440 sandwich and I'll wait here. Thanks. That's a thing that 0:51:50.480 --> 0:51:53.759 has happened. So while we're always being told how it's 0:51:53.760 --> 0:51:56.560 about kids in cages, Stephen King is claiming that he's 0:51:56.600 --> 0:52:02.200 clearly he's clearly making a comparison between a horror movie 0:52:02.239 --> 0:52:05.840 or horror book or whatever it is and the Trump administration. 0:52:06.200 --> 0:52:08.879 I just would like to know what is supposed Let's 0:52:08.880 --> 0:52:10.719 take the kids in cages out of the out of 0:52:10.719 --> 0:52:12.520 the equation for a second, because it has been out 0:52:12.520 --> 0:52:15.000 of the equation because they don't hold children separately from 0:52:15.040 --> 0:52:20.480 their families anymore. What is the acceptable degree of enforcement 0:52:20.480 --> 0:52:23.520 of our border. What should the law say. Should the 0:52:23.600 --> 0:52:28.240 law be that anybody who shows up across our border 0:52:28.320 --> 0:52:31.120 just gets to stay? So oh no, no, no no, they 0:52:31.160 --> 0:52:33.360 have a process. Okay, what if they don't show up 0:52:33.360 --> 0:52:37.200 for the process, did they get to ported? And what 0:52:37.280 --> 0:52:39.240 if after they show up for the process, they don't 0:52:39.280 --> 0:52:41.800 get what they want, which is a legal claim to 0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:43.600 stay in America? Do they don't get to bord? If 0:52:43.600 --> 0:52:45.600 you're going to keep saying no, then you're just you're 0:52:45.760 --> 0:52:48.440 you're at an open border status, and you should as 0:52:48.480 --> 0:52:51.760 a Democrat, as a lib and some Republicans like this stuff, 0:52:51.840 --> 0:52:54.600 you should just admit that. But they never have any 0:52:54.600 --> 0:52:58.439 answers about it. They just like the moral posturing of 0:52:59.120 --> 0:53:02.279 we don't want kids in cages, as Democrats Republicans do. 0:53:02.400 --> 0:53:04.879 They're the bad guys. Trump is the ultimate bad guy 0:53:04.920 --> 0:53:09.160 because of this. All right, Well, that has that policy, 0:53:09.200 --> 0:53:11.759 which was just enforcing the laws on the books. And 0:53:11.840 --> 0:53:13.719 if anyone in this country gets arrested and they have 0:53:13.719 --> 0:53:15.480 a baby with them, you know what's going to happen. 0:53:15.840 --> 0:53:17.839 There's going to be a separation from that infant. There's 0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:19.839 going to be a separation from that child. That's what 0:53:19.920 --> 0:53:25.560 happens to citizens every day in this country, So there's 0:53:25.560 --> 0:53:27.960 a different set of laws I suppose we're supposed to 0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:32.880 accept for illegal aliens. I'm not there yet. I'm not 0:53:32.920 --> 0:53:34.880 willing to just accept that. And I do think that 0:53:35.440 --> 0:53:39.239 if we were just able to have liberals sit down, 0:53:39.239 --> 0:53:40.759 if we could just talk to them a bit more 0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:44.640 about what it is that they really want to happen 0:53:44.680 --> 0:53:47.719 at the border, a lot of them would recognize that 0:53:47.760 --> 0:53:49.719 they've just been fed lies, and a lot of them 0:53:49.760 --> 0:53:52.759 would recognize that no, they're four open borders. At least 0:53:52.760 --> 0:53:55.319 then we would have honesty. Right now, what we have 0:53:55.480 --> 0:53:59.560 is talking points, moral grandstanding, and people like Stephen King 0:54:00.120 --> 0:54:03.880 saying Trump has created a nightmare at our border, worthy 0:54:03.880 --> 0:54:06.360 of one of my books. It's just not true. There's 0:54:06.360 --> 0:54:10.200 also been when it comes to communities of immigrants and 0:54:10.400 --> 0:54:15.960 undercurrent of racism or nativism that was always under the 0:54:16.000 --> 0:54:20.359 surface to some degree. Not that that was unfelt by 0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:23.920 the people against whom it was directed, but at least 0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:27.920 we attempted to form a more perfect union. We attempted 0:54:27.960 --> 0:54:33.080 to live by the ideals that were foundational with the country, 0:54:33.080 --> 0:54:34.960 that we're all created equal. We never quite got there, 0:54:34.960 --> 0:54:38.480 but we never stopped trying until now, where you have 0:54:38.640 --> 0:54:44.200 a president who is so openly nativist and racist. Betto 0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:46.360 just says the same thing every day. I don't know 0:54:46.400 --> 0:54:49.920 when he assumes that this is going to be profound. 0:54:49.960 --> 0:54:51.680 I don't know when he thinks this is going to 0:54:51.719 --> 0:54:56.319 be a thing that all of a sudden, We're going 0:54:56.360 --> 0:55:01.200 to pay attention to. Betto. But this is the dumbest 0:55:01.239 --> 0:55:03.759 talking point that you will hear from the left. Is 0:55:03.800 --> 0:55:08.040 just some variation of OMG, Trump and the Republicans are 0:55:08.040 --> 0:55:11.080 so racist and this country has to deal with its 0:55:11.120 --> 0:55:14.479 legacy of racism, and let's just talk more about racism 0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:17.680 and how racist everything is. This is the most This 0:55:17.760 --> 0:55:20.640 is the most brainless thing that you will hear from 0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:23.880 all the Democrat candidates all the time. They just do 0:55:24.000 --> 0:55:27.919 different variations on the theme of, oh, well, all I 0:55:27.920 --> 0:55:31.799 oppose racism, therefore I'm a good person. Republicans op post 0:55:31.880 --> 0:55:36.080 racism too. I've said this before, and I think that 0:55:36.600 --> 0:55:41.200 maybe it's doesn't really bear repeating on this show. But 0:55:42.120 --> 0:55:44.520 the truth is, because I've said it so many times, 0:55:45.320 --> 0:55:49.520 racism is anti conservative. You can't believe in individual dignity, 0:55:49.560 --> 0:55:53.000 individual rights that we are created in God's image and 0:55:53.040 --> 0:55:56.839 then we are all equal as human beings. Things that 0:55:57.040 --> 0:55:59.359 you must think if you're a conservative, because if if 0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:03.839 that's not true true, then why do we have inalienable rights? 0:56:03.880 --> 0:56:05.920 Why are we created in God's image? I mean, if 0:56:05.960 --> 0:56:08.040 we're not all equal, then that doesn't make it, That 0:56:08.080 --> 0:56:11.400 doesn't make any sense. You have to believe that every 0:56:11.560 --> 0:56:17.120 individual human being is of equal worth as a human 0:56:17.160 --> 0:56:20.480 being to every other in the eyes of the law 0:56:20.520 --> 0:56:24.120 and in the eyes of God. Otherwise, what is conservatism 0:56:24.200 --> 0:56:26.640 based on? Because why not just have us a superstate? Then? 0:56:26.760 --> 0:56:31.479 Because human beings have no inherent dignity, there's there's this 0:56:31.880 --> 0:56:35.600 separation based on where we're from and everything. No, it 0:56:35.760 --> 0:56:38.839 is anti conservative to be to be racist, and we've 0:56:38.880 --> 0:56:43.880 done so much in this country to overcome racism. And also, 0:56:44.400 --> 0:56:46.920 if we're going to really look at this for a moment, 0:56:46.960 --> 0:56:49.520 the truth is we actually get along really well as 0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:52.040 a country and as a country that is quite diverse. 0:56:53.360 --> 0:56:56.239 And I'm here in New York City and I'm walking 0:56:56.280 --> 0:56:58.640 around on the streets, I'm on the subway. You see 0:56:58.640 --> 0:57:02.440 people from every kind tree, every color, ethnicity, race, you 0:57:02.520 --> 0:57:04.600 name it here and we're all just walking around doing 0:57:04.600 --> 0:57:08.279 our things. No one's stopping and noticing and oh, look 0:57:08.280 --> 0:57:11.560 at that person. That just doesn't happen here. It really 0:57:11.600 --> 0:57:15.760 feels like Beto O'Rourke and the Democrats on the race issue, 0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:20.120 it's like they've created a fake version of America, a 0:57:20.200 --> 0:57:23.560 version of America that's not what we're experiencing every day. 0:57:24.600 --> 0:57:27.680 And this is why I think they've largely transitioned toe. 0:57:27.680 --> 0:57:30.240 I'm saying that the President is racist all the time, 0:57:30.320 --> 0:57:32.720 even though the President will say he's not racist. He 0:57:32.800 --> 0:57:35.840 believes all people are equal. He thinks that racism is terrible. 0:57:36.720 --> 0:57:38.560 I wish that they would stop lying about what he 0:57:38.640 --> 0:57:41.400 said at Charlottesville. They will not stop lying about it. 0:57:41.880 --> 0:57:46.000 This is now. It's an unfortunate case study in how 0:57:46.200 --> 0:57:49.560 repetition by an anti Trump media can overcome the fact 0:57:49.880 --> 0:57:52.440 just you can do it yourself. Look at the transcript 0:57:52.440 --> 0:57:55.240 of what was said what Trump said in Charlottesville. No 0:57:55.400 --> 0:57:59.320 honest person could read that transcript and say, oh, he 0:57:59.400 --> 0:58:04.360 was praising white nationalists. He explicitly said I am not 0:58:04.400 --> 0:58:06.760 praising white nationalists. But but they still pretend that he 0:58:06.840 --> 0:58:09.600 was praising white nationalists. That's the storyline that you always 0:58:09.640 --> 0:58:13.280 get if racism in this country was so bad, maybe 0:58:13.320 --> 0:58:18.120 we wouldn't have so many race hoaxes that occur. As 0:58:18.120 --> 0:58:21.840 we know, this is a much greater frequency than the 0:58:21.920 --> 0:58:24.960 lip media ever wants to admit to. If racism was 0:58:24.960 --> 0:58:26.960 so bad in this country, maybe they wouldn't have to 0:58:27.080 --> 0:58:32.440 manufacture evidence of it from the President and the Republican Party, 0:58:32.920 --> 0:58:36.360 which is what they do on a regular basis. But 0:58:36.480 --> 0:58:39.200 I sit here and I just say to you, I 0:58:39.240 --> 0:58:43.240 really hope that Peto Aurorica has gone soon because it's pathetic. Now. 0:58:44.480 --> 0:58:46.920 It's not cute really anymore. It's not funny. I mean, 0:58:46.960 --> 0:58:49.000 I know I like to do the betto impression, but 0:58:49.160 --> 0:58:53.280 this is a guy who has abandoned any sense of 0:58:53.400 --> 0:58:56.040 decency and fairness in his campaign to the other side, 0:58:56.080 --> 0:59:00.360 to the other side's ideas, and it's just all it's 0:59:00.400 --> 0:59:04.080 all posturing and nonsense, you know. I mean, this is 0:59:04.120 --> 0:59:09.400 a guy who, first of all, his whole affect of mbutu, 0:59:10.880 --> 0:59:14.600 no you're you're Robert Francis O'Rourke man like this This 0:59:14.640 --> 0:59:16.600 thing is is if he wasn't first of all, if 0:59:16.600 --> 0:59:18.880 he wasn't a Democrat, he would not it would not 0:59:18.920 --> 0:59:21.000 be okay from to pick up what would be considered 0:59:21.000 --> 0:59:25.560 an ethnic Latino name like this and use it. If 0:59:25.560 --> 0:59:28.000 you were a Republican, people would mock him for this, 0:59:28.120 --> 0:59:30.200 or they wouldn't even mock him. They would say it's 0:59:30.200 --> 0:59:34.240 a problem. They would criticize him all the time. So 0:59:34.360 --> 0:59:36.480 you have to also remember that you have to keep 0:59:36.520 --> 0:59:38.600 that in mind. Here he gets a pass on this 0:59:38.800 --> 0:59:41.200 because I know we've been called it for a long time. Whatever, 0:59:41.200 --> 0:59:44.720 he still gets a pass on it because he is 0:59:45.440 --> 0:59:50.439 a Democrat, as we know. Speaking of Democrats, there's some 0:59:50.840 --> 0:59:56.400 movement here with Elizabeth Warren, who is all of a sudden. 0:59:58.600 --> 1:00:03.960 Here is what Jim Kramer over at CNBC had to 1:00:04.000 --> 1:00:07.040 say about a war in presidency from the perspective of 1:00:07.120 --> 1:00:10.920 Wall Street guys. Why, look, I've gotta tell you, when 1:00:10.920 --> 1:00:13.360 you get off the desk you talk to executives, they're 1:00:13.440 --> 1:00:16.439 more fearful of her winning. I mean, I've never heard 1:00:16.480 --> 1:00:22.080 anybody say, look, she's gotta be stopped. She's gotta be stopped. 1:00:22.400 --> 1:00:26.080 I don't know. It's she's very she keeps going up 1:00:26.080 --> 1:00:28.680 through the poles, She's raised a ton of money. It's 1:00:28.720 --> 1:00:32.640 gonna win out. I believe she's a very compelling figure 1:00:32.720 --> 1:00:36.760 on the stump. By the way. I hear it too, 1:00:36.800 --> 1:00:40.640 And it's another reason why companies are being implored to 1:00:40.840 --> 1:00:44.480 do things now. If you want to get something done, 1:00:45.040 --> 1:00:48.000 you really think M and A or anything, think about 1:00:48.040 --> 1:00:52.000 doing it soon, because come early to mid twenty twenty, 1:00:52.920 --> 1:00:56.480 if Eliza mclauren's rolling along, everybody's gonna be like, that's it. 1:00:56.640 --> 1:00:59.040 She You hearing it too? Oh yeah, I wonder what 1:00:59.320 --> 1:01:02.120 China says about that exact question. Oh yeah, boy, she 1:01:02.320 --> 1:01:06.160 is so anti pollution in China, they're all saying they're 1:01:06.200 --> 1:01:08.520 worried about Elizabeth Warren. I'm all street, I gotta tell you, 1:01:08.640 --> 1:01:12.400 I'm I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I mean, 1:01:12.400 --> 1:01:14.840 maybe they're worried, but I don't think that they have 1:01:14.880 --> 1:01:18.840 anything really to be worried about. And here's why Elizabeth 1:01:18.880 --> 1:01:25.880 Warren is very much a transactional progressive. She's someone who 1:01:25.920 --> 1:01:29.000 has made a very nice living for herself as a 1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:32.160 law professor, making about a quarter million dollars a year. 1:01:32.200 --> 1:01:35.200 I think just to teach one class a week, that's 1:01:35.200 --> 1:01:37.040 a nice gig I would take. You know, can't get 1:01:37.040 --> 1:01:40.440 fired making a quarter of a million dollars, getting up 1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:43.000 in front of a classroom and saying a bunch of stuff. 1:01:43.000 --> 1:01:45.960 It's probably not even particularly useful from a legal perspective, 1:01:46.000 --> 1:01:51.240 but you know, she's Elizabeth Warren, so first Cherokee law 1:01:51.280 --> 1:01:53.440 professor on the Harvard faculty. She had that going for, 1:01:53.600 --> 1:01:58.520 which is nice. But here's a reminder about the Democratic Party. 1:01:59.000 --> 1:02:01.840 The Democratic Party is full of rich. There are plenty 1:02:01.840 --> 1:02:04.600 of rich people in Democratic part In fact, Wall Street 1:02:05.320 --> 1:02:09.960 overwhelmingly gives you the biggest firms Goldman, Saxons, they give 1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:14.920 to Hillary Clinton last time around. They're they're not. This 1:02:15.440 --> 1:02:17.400 is one of these myths that we have to deal 1:02:17.440 --> 1:02:20.200 with on the right that will never go away, and 1:02:20.240 --> 1:02:23.600 that is that the the rich are Republicans. It's just 1:02:23.720 --> 1:02:29.280 not true. There are rich people in both parties, right, oh, 1:02:29.360 --> 1:02:32.600 the Republican billionaires funding everything they have. What about Soros? 1:02:32.600 --> 1:02:34.320 What about Tom stey Er, what about you know, go 1:02:34.400 --> 1:02:38.640 down the list, what about Oprah? What about Steven Spielberg? 1:02:38.640 --> 1:02:41.960 If you get all these people were fabulously wealthy, huge Libs, 1:02:43.120 --> 1:02:49.920 huge Libs. The Liberals have plenty, plenty of money. And 1:02:50.000 --> 1:02:52.360 yet we hear this story about how Wall Street is 1:02:52.360 --> 1:02:57.920 a Republican. Wall Street is in its politics left of center, 1:02:59.200 --> 1:03:01.480 and in it based on its giving. I mean, I'm 1:03:01.520 --> 1:03:03.520 not guessing about this. This is where you know, this 1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:08.280 is where the money goes. And that's because, yeah, they 1:03:08.320 --> 1:03:10.840 don't want higher taxes, but the tax issue is less 1:03:10.880 --> 1:03:15.760 important than the regulatory climate and environment, and the very 1:03:15.840 --> 1:03:18.720 big firms just want to make sure that whoever wins, 1:03:19.800 --> 1:03:24.000 they're going to be taken care of. Big government loves 1:03:24.040 --> 1:03:28.720 big business. Because big government sees big business as a 1:03:28.840 --> 1:03:34.000 means of instituting policies that it wants, it can make 1:03:34.000 --> 1:03:37.920 it complicit in the expansion of government in many ways. 1:03:37.960 --> 1:03:41.160 And remember the regulatory burden, a lot of the anti 1:03:41.160 --> 1:03:43.960 competitive measures that come into play when you're talking about 1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:47.360 a big government apparatus, which is what Elizabeth Warren. We 1:03:47.360 --> 1:03:49.720 already have too much of that, but Elizabeth Warren would 1:03:49.720 --> 1:03:53.680 want you dramatically expanded. But Goldman Sachs is going to 1:03:53.760 --> 1:03:57.160 make plenty of money no matter what. Goldman Sacs employees 1:03:57.160 --> 1:04:00.160 are gonna go home with fat paychecks regardless of what 1:04:00.160 --> 1:04:02.600 Elizabeth Warren says, she wants to do whatever tax she 1:04:02.640 --> 1:04:06.000 puts in place, And there are a lot of ways 1:04:06.000 --> 1:04:08.800 I think that you could argue that the people that 1:04:08.840 --> 1:04:10.840 are going to get hurt are those who are trying 1:04:10.880 --> 1:04:13.680 to be up and comers, going to be competitors. They're 1:04:13.680 --> 1:04:15.680 the ones that have the deal with Oh now there's 1:04:15.720 --> 1:04:18.800 all these new accounting regulations. Now there's all these new 1:04:19.200 --> 1:04:24.040 you know, legal and administrative hurdles to trying to compete 1:04:24.040 --> 1:04:27.120 with some of these megabanks. But the megabanks, the mega corporations. 1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:29.880 But look at that you've got. Ge was practically a 1:04:29.960 --> 1:04:36.040 subsidiary of the Democratic Party for years, for years, Goleman, 1:04:36.080 --> 1:04:41.680 Sachs Democrats. I mean, if you find me Facebook Google, 1:04:42.360 --> 1:04:45.720 these are these are Democrat companies. You know, where's the 1:04:47.000 --> 1:04:50.280 where's this evidence that you would think would exist of 1:04:50.560 --> 1:04:57.080 republican Republican Party dominance in the corporate sphere. It's just 1:04:58.200 --> 1:05:02.840 not there. I wish, you know, I wish that we 1:05:02.840 --> 1:05:05.720 could get past this. But they'll continue to say this, 1:05:06.240 --> 1:05:09.520 Elizabeth Warren will do Wall Streets bidding, because Elizabeth Warren 1:05:09.640 --> 1:05:14.560 is gonna want powerful influential people and she's gonna make 1:05:14.560 --> 1:05:16.840 a show of doing bad stuff to Wall Street. Oh 1:05:16.880 --> 1:05:18.440 you know, she's going to clean it up and everything else. 1:05:18.520 --> 1:05:22.400 That's all crap. And think about it this way. Think 1:05:22.400 --> 1:05:27.000 about this, what's happened to the health insurers post Obamacare. 1:05:27.040 --> 1:05:30.280 Have they have? They all gone bankrupt. Oh, but the 1:05:30.320 --> 1:05:33.240 Democrats talk about how they hate the big bad health insurers. Oh, 1:05:33.280 --> 1:05:36.720 they're terrible. They're taking all the profits. Actually, their profits 1:05:36.720 --> 1:05:39.080 percentage wise are relatively small. But you know, I'm not 1:05:39.120 --> 1:05:41.080 somebody that loves the health insurance companies. I think they 1:05:41.120 --> 1:05:45.200 do do some shady stuff sometimes. That said, they're a 1:05:45.240 --> 1:05:48.800 bad guy according to Democrats. And yet have you seen 1:05:49.520 --> 1:05:52.560 the health insurers suffering a lot of pain? And no, 1:05:53.520 --> 1:05:56.160 they did Obama's you know, they agreed to go along 1:05:56.200 --> 1:06:00.640 with Obama's whole Affordable Care Act disaster as long as 1:06:00.680 --> 1:06:04.000 they got theres as long as they got paid backstopped 1:06:04.320 --> 1:06:09.400 you know, by the taxpayer, and forced forced people to 1:06:09.480 --> 1:06:13.040 become customers of theirs. So they were finally that So 1:06:13.080 --> 1:06:15.800 that's that's a perfect example what I'm talking about. Yeah, 1:06:15.840 --> 1:06:18.040 Elizabeth Warren is gonna come together. She's gonna say, oh, 1:06:18.040 --> 1:06:22.200 I'm gonna reform, I've gotta reform Wall Street. And I 1:06:22.440 --> 1:06:26.640 shound like someone has grabbed a turkey by the neck 1:06:26.720 --> 1:06:32.440 and is waving it around. You know, squawk, squawk man. 1:06:32.480 --> 1:06:36.280 She is not charming. She really isn't. It is not charismatic, 1:06:36.320 --> 1:06:39.840 forget charming, whatever you want to say. But she's gonna 1:06:40.040 --> 1:06:42.680 make this big show of how much she's gonna, you know, 1:06:42.800 --> 1:06:46.200 rock wall streets world that the truth is she's gonna 1:06:46.200 --> 1:06:48.320 do some things. But then wall st will say, Okay, 1:06:48.320 --> 1:06:49.840 we'll go along, but then leave us alone and let 1:06:49.920 --> 1:06:51.760 us make our big profits, you know, maybe even give 1:06:51.840 --> 1:06:55.400 us some way to get in on transactions that the 1:06:55.440 --> 1:07:00.920 government is you know, forcing the government's making people engage 1:07:01.000 --> 1:07:05.120 in whatever that may be. So I gotta tell you 1:07:05.160 --> 1:07:09.400 there's there's this there's this storyline out that the Democrats 1:07:09.480 --> 1:07:15.320 tell themselves that, oh, we're going to be able to reform. 1:07:15.400 --> 1:07:18.200 You know, Democrats don't like big money in politics. That's 1:07:18.400 --> 1:07:21.040 that's just a lie. Oh we want to reform, we 1:07:21.080 --> 1:07:23.080 want we don't want dark money and politics. Oh, they're 1:07:23.080 --> 1:07:25.360 all about it. Elizabeth Warren's a perfect example. Oh here's 1:07:25.360 --> 1:07:29.160 a great one, Elizabeth. Well, you know what, let me 1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:31.040 hit this when I come. I've got I got to 1:07:31.040 --> 1:07:33.200 tell you a little Elizabeth Warren fundraising story that that's 1:07:33.240 --> 1:07:36.840 a perfect example of exactly what I'm talking about. Hold on, 1:07:36.880 --> 1:07:38.760 I'll come right back. Stay with me. So I was 1:07:38.800 --> 1:07:40.480 going on a little bit of Elizabeth Warren ran. I 1:07:40.520 --> 1:07:44.040 think it's important because I believe that's where I'm putting 1:07:44.240 --> 1:07:47.640 my money for the Democrat nominee. I think it's gonna 1:07:47.640 --> 1:07:50.240 be Warren. I still I'm still standing firm on my 1:07:51.400 --> 1:07:54.640 it will not be Biden. But there was a story 1:07:56.080 --> 1:07:58.240 from the New York Times No Less a couple of 1:07:58.280 --> 1:08:02.920 days ago how Elizabeth Warren raised big money before she 1:08:03.120 --> 1:08:06.680 denounced big money. Oh look at this. It's exactly the 1:08:06.840 --> 1:08:11.960 hypocrisy that I'm talking to you about. So back in 1:08:12.840 --> 1:08:17.559 twenty eight or twenty eighteen Senate race, she was doing 1:08:17.560 --> 1:08:19.920 what Democrats do, going to very rich people and saying, 1:08:19.920 --> 1:08:23.840 you write me a check. That's my Elizabeth Warren impersonation. 1:08:23.880 --> 1:08:30.320 It's like Hillary but louder Hello. She wanted wealthy people 1:08:30.320 --> 1:08:34.840 to write her checks for her race then, and guess 1:08:34.880 --> 1:08:37.400 and so she went to people that are, you know, 1:08:37.439 --> 1:08:41.800 the high rollers, the big dollar donors. And now she's 1:08:41.840 --> 1:08:45.800 talking about how she's only a grassroots funded campaign, they're 1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:51.840 not taking big dollar donations. But guess what, she's a 1:08:51.920 --> 1:08:58.919 total hypocrite because she's using ten point four million dollars 1:08:59.520 --> 1:09:02.519 that she's rolling over from her twenty eighteen Senate race 1:09:03.600 --> 1:09:08.200 to underwrite her twenty twenty presidential bid. So I mean, 1:09:08.320 --> 1:09:10.519 but this is a classic moment of exactly what I'm 1:09:10.560 --> 1:09:14.200 talking about. Warren is going around on the stump saying that, 1:09:14.520 --> 1:09:17.479 you know, people shouldn't be able to shouldn't be reliant 1:09:17.520 --> 1:09:20.400 on big dollar donors, and oh, the wealthy and the 1:09:20.439 --> 1:09:23.040 elite are just buying everyone off and blah blah blah, 1:09:23.120 --> 1:09:26.720 all this crap. And it turns out that back in 1:09:26.920 --> 1:09:30.840 twenty eighteen, she was raising money bite doing exactly that, 1:09:31.360 --> 1:09:34.720 and she's using that money now to fund her campaign. 1:09:36.080 --> 1:09:38.639 So this would be like if I was running around saying, hey, 1:09:38.640 --> 1:09:43.080 hold on a second, you can't rob a bank and 1:09:43.120 --> 1:09:46.439 then use that money to fund your political campaign. You 1:09:46.439 --> 1:09:50.080 can't do that. That's terrible. And people were like, well, Buck, 1:09:50.120 --> 1:09:51.880 you robbed the bank a couple of years ago and 1:09:51.920 --> 1:09:53.720 you're using that money. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, but 1:09:53.760 --> 1:09:58.400 that was then. This is now. What do we always 1:09:58.400 --> 1:10:01.960 say defining character ristic of the contemporary liberal is just 1:10:02.200 --> 1:10:06.080 unbridled hypocrisy, hypocrisy that is punch you in the face, 1:10:06.120 --> 1:10:11.920 obvious hypocrisy from which there is no escape, and you 1:10:12.040 --> 1:10:15.160 come away from it thinking how could they? How could 1:10:15.160 --> 1:10:19.200 they expect any person to take their word on any 1:10:19.240 --> 1:10:22.280 of this, given how obvious it is that what they 1:10:22.360 --> 1:10:25.599 say is so different from the way that they themselves act, 1:10:25.880 --> 1:10:30.160 whether it's on money and politics, on climate change, on 1:10:31.160 --> 1:10:34.439 you know, the education system, on you know, immigration, in 1:10:34.520 --> 1:10:37.679 all these areas where whenever you see libs out there 1:10:38.600 --> 1:10:43.400 who are professing how much they care about an issue, 1:10:44.520 --> 1:10:46.519 it's not a surprise at all to find out that 1:10:46.560 --> 1:10:49.800 if there's any sacrifice involved in really doing something about that, 1:10:50.240 --> 1:10:51.840 they're not going to do that. They just want other 1:10:51.880 --> 1:10:53.360 They want to talk about it, they want other people 1:10:53.400 --> 1:10:56.360 to do it. Elizabeth Warren raised tons of money from 1:10:56.439 --> 1:11:00.320 rich people, and now she's saying other candidates are relying 1:11:00.360 --> 1:11:02.800 on rich people for their donations. He's using rich people 1:11:02.840 --> 1:11:06.160 money and saying it's bad. She's a huge fraud, folks, 1:11:06.439 --> 1:11:09.960 a fraud, and not just because of the fake Indian stuff. 1:11:09.960 --> 1:11:14.919 She's a fraudt not bringing a house back to August 1:11:15.000 --> 1:11:20.280 to keep the we did the Senate was supposed to 1:11:20.280 --> 1:11:22.360 come back. Why does you all get that straight? Because 1:11:22.520 --> 1:11:25.519 the Senate did not come back to pass the bill. 1:11:25.560 --> 1:11:30.080 I'm getting very angry about the word silliness of these questions, 1:11:30.600 --> 1:11:33.280 why is there at stake Senator McConnell was standing in 1:11:33.320 --> 1:11:37.400 the way. We passed our bill in February. Members had 1:11:37.400 --> 1:11:39.920 events all over the country to ask him to bring 1:11:40.000 --> 1:11:43.160 up the bill. Don't ask me what we haven't done. 1:11:43.280 --> 1:11:46.200 We have done it. And if you are annoying, it's 1:11:46.240 --> 1:11:49.120 my impatience. It's because people are dying. But the Senator 1:11:49.160 --> 1:11:53.040 McConnell hasn't acted. Why don't you go ask him if 1:11:53.040 --> 1:11:55.599 he has any regrets to all the people who died 1:11:55.920 --> 1:11:59.200 because he hasn't packed do what the Democrats say on 1:11:59.320 --> 1:12:03.880 gun control, or you don't care about people dying, same 1:12:03.960 --> 1:12:08.040 argument every time ever, really seems to change very much. 1:12:08.840 --> 1:12:11.160 That's what we keep getting told that you do with 1:12:11.160 --> 1:12:15.800 the Democrats want you to do, or you don't care 1:12:15.840 --> 1:12:18.800 about dead children, you don't care about gun violence, you're 1:12:18.840 --> 1:12:24.759 a bad person. And they wonder why we don't trust 1:12:24.800 --> 1:12:28.640 them for any kind of middle of the middle of 1:12:28.680 --> 1:12:34.160 the road solutions. They say that we're terrible people if 1:12:34.160 --> 1:12:36.880 we don't do exactly what they say, and then we're 1:12:36.880 --> 1:12:39.280 supposed to believe that if we gave them more power, 1:12:39.360 --> 1:12:42.040 say with red flag laws or any number of these 1:12:42.080 --> 1:12:47.520 other restrictions, that they talk about that that would somehow 1:12:48.560 --> 1:12:51.040 result in Democrats being more fair minded about this. I 1:12:51.080 --> 1:12:56.160 think that that's just silly. I think that's entirely unrealistic. 1:12:56.920 --> 1:13:01.600 But President Trump is still out there talking about this, 1:13:01.760 --> 1:13:06.679 still discussing this as a possibility. I'm not really sure 1:13:06.720 --> 1:13:11.960 what Trump's Trump's plans are here. We're looking at background checks, 1:13:11.960 --> 1:13:15.160 and we're looking at putting everything together in a unified 1:13:15.200 --> 1:13:18.280 way so that we can have something that's meaningful. At 1:13:18.280 --> 1:13:20.760 the same time, all of us want to protect our 1:13:21.120 --> 1:13:25.320 great Second Amendments, so important to all of us. So 1:13:25.720 --> 1:13:29.479 we are now in meetings. The meetings are going to 1:13:29.560 --> 1:13:32.280 go in tonight. I'm going to speak with them again tomorrow. 1:13:32.720 --> 1:13:35.160 And I think progress is being made, I hope. So 1:13:36.680 --> 1:13:40.000 I'm not sure that I actually scratch that. I'm pretty 1:13:40.040 --> 1:13:42.559 sure that we don't want this kind of progress to 1:13:42.560 --> 1:13:45.720 be made because it's not progress. I haven't heard a 1:13:45.720 --> 1:13:50.280 single policy that would be that would be a good 1:13:50.320 --> 1:13:56.960 idea from the perspective of ending gun violence. There's nothing 1:13:56.960 --> 1:13:58.400 that I listened to and I say, oh, yeah, that 1:13:58.439 --> 1:14:02.280 that's In fact, there's a terrifying idea that's out there 1:14:02.400 --> 1:14:10.759 right now called Harpa and this is just astonishingly bad. 1:14:11.240 --> 1:14:15.320 It's going to be the what the Health Advanced Research 1:14:16.880 --> 1:14:21.000 Project I mean, yeah, the Health Advanced Research Project Agency 1:14:21.120 --> 1:14:24.040 sort of like DARPA, but for health. And they say 1:14:24.080 --> 1:14:29.679 they want to here we go. Former NBC Chairman Bob Wright, 1:14:29.760 --> 1:14:33.600 a longtime friend that associated President Trump's, has brief top officials, 1:14:33.960 --> 1:14:37.519 including the President, the vice president, and Ivanka Trump, on 1:14:37.560 --> 1:14:42.120 a proposal to create a new research agency called HARPA 1:14:42.200 --> 1:14:44.080 to come up with out of the box ways to 1:14:44.240 --> 1:14:48.960 tackle health problems, much like DARPA does for the military. Say, 1:14:49.000 --> 1:14:55.200 several people who have been briefed, Yeah, we're gonna have 1:14:55.640 --> 1:14:58.960 some new agency that looks into this and tries to 1:14:58.960 --> 1:15:01.720 come up with something that how many debates, now, how 1:15:01.720 --> 1:15:03.720 many times have we had to have it out in 1:15:03.760 --> 1:15:08.400 public over whether or not there's there's a way to 1:15:09.280 --> 1:15:12.960 make this stuff, make mass murder with firearms more illegal 1:15:13.000 --> 1:15:16.840 than it already is. It's already very, very illegal. But 1:15:16.960 --> 1:15:22.800 this HARPA organization would be out there looking at ways 1:15:22.800 --> 1:15:25.920 that you could try to intervene in, specifically the realm 1:15:25.920 --> 1:15:31.200 of mental illness. Anyone who thinks that the government would 1:15:31.240 --> 1:15:37.080 ever be able to monitor mental health accurately enough that 1:15:37.120 --> 1:15:40.080 they would they could intervene to stop a mass shooting 1:15:40.760 --> 1:15:46.440 and not create a near totalitarian surveillance state for everybody 1:15:46.479 --> 1:15:49.640 who has any form of mental illness. And really, when 1:15:49.680 --> 1:15:53.120 we talk about mental illness, there is there's mental illness. 1:15:53.280 --> 1:15:55.760 Mental health is something that everyone struggles with, and I 1:15:55.760 --> 1:15:59.719 think this is often lost in the conversation. Everyone listening 1:15:59.760 --> 1:16:03.000 to this has at one time or another. Most likely 1:16:03.120 --> 1:16:05.880 some of you perhaps are perfect and had at least 1:16:06.040 --> 1:16:08.439 a little bit of what could be considered depression, a 1:16:08.439 --> 1:16:11.760 little bit of the symptoms of anxiety, a little bit 1:16:11.800 --> 1:16:14.600 of undue stress in your life that cause anxiety symptoms, 1:16:15.080 --> 1:16:18.040 and then you get too well. Is it at a 1:16:18.120 --> 1:16:20.080 level that's clinical where you have to go see you 1:16:20.160 --> 1:16:23.439 have to go seek professional help and support, And you 1:16:23.479 --> 1:16:25.280 know people do this, whether it A lot of people 1:16:25.400 --> 1:16:27.760 do this for you know, marital counseling will do this, 1:16:27.840 --> 1:16:31.240 for alcohol abuse, they'll do this. These are all mental 1:16:31.360 --> 1:16:35.280 health related issues. So when you say monitoring people for 1:16:35.360 --> 1:16:41.400 mental health, this is such a broad spectrum of things 1:16:41.439 --> 1:16:43.559 that the government would have to be looking at. It involved, 1:16:43.560 --> 1:16:49.479 and it's just it's absolutely insane. No serious person can believe, 1:16:49.800 --> 1:16:53.519 no serious person should believe that there's a way to 1:16:53.800 --> 1:16:58.679 monitor the mental health of the American people and prevent 1:16:58.800 --> 1:17:06.000 somebody base based on that monitoring program, from taking violent 1:17:06.040 --> 1:17:09.519 action because of their mental illness. You have tens of 1:17:09.600 --> 1:17:12.160 millions of people in this country with diagnosed mental illnesses 1:17:12.200 --> 1:17:15.400 of one kind or another. Yes, PTSD is classified as 1:17:15.400 --> 1:17:21.880 a mental illness, anxiety disorders, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolarity. 1:17:21.920 --> 1:17:24.800 There's all these different things out there that people deal with. 1:17:24.800 --> 1:17:29.680 Some of its genetics, some of its situational, and the 1:17:29.800 --> 1:17:33.880 stigmatization that it seems the Democrats are willing to engage 1:17:33.880 --> 1:17:37.080 in now just because they're so set on getting new 1:17:37.120 --> 1:17:39.880 gun laws. Past just goes to show you. I think 1:17:40.479 --> 1:17:44.400 that they were never serious about any of this in 1:17:44.880 --> 1:17:50.000 the first place. They were never serious about reaching out 1:17:50.040 --> 1:17:56.160 and having laws that could stop people from engaging in 1:17:56.479 --> 1:18:00.120 mass shootings that also respect civil rights, that all so 1:18:00.240 --> 1:18:03.760 respect privacy and dignity of individuals. They're just looking for 1:18:03.760 --> 1:18:06.360 the political leverage in the moment to get what they want, 1:18:06.640 --> 1:18:09.479 which is some form of restrictions on guns. That's it. 1:18:10.280 --> 1:18:14.840 Everything else is noise. Everything else is just filler. So 1:18:15.600 --> 1:18:17.400 you know, I don't think the Democrats come to this 1:18:17.439 --> 1:18:19.040 issue with any good faith. I don't think that it's 1:18:19.040 --> 1:18:24.000 really about ultimately stopping gun violence, because if it was, 1:18:24.040 --> 1:18:26.519 then we've been focused on handguns and inner city crime. 1:18:27.240 --> 1:18:29.960 If it was really about stopping gun violence, that's where 1:18:29.960 --> 1:18:31.840 the push would be. No, it's on mass shootings and 1:18:31.840 --> 1:18:37.920 assault rifles, which are rare, meaning mass shootings statistically speaking, 1:18:37.920 --> 1:18:42.759 at a small percentage of the overall gun violence problem 1:18:42.760 --> 1:18:47.640 in this country. So we will keep having this. I 1:18:47.680 --> 1:18:50.680 don't know why Trump. Well, I'm hoping that he's doing 1:18:50.680 --> 1:18:54.600 a little bit of you know, ropodope here. You know, 1:18:54.760 --> 1:18:56.800 is okay, sure, we'll talk, we'll talk, we'll talk, and 1:18:56.840 --> 1:18:59.720 then when the Democrats, you know, when their audiences and 1:18:59.720 --> 1:19:02.680 their instituents are tired of the same talking points, we 1:19:02.720 --> 1:19:04.640 can move on to something else. If they had a 1:19:04.680 --> 1:19:06.240 good idea, I'd be open to it. They don't have 1:19:06.280 --> 1:19:10.160 good ideas. They just have status takeover. I don't like that. 1:19:10.560 --> 1:19:14.880 And I'm also sick of being told all the time 1:19:14.920 --> 1:19:19.400 that because look, let's be honest, the conservative side keeps 1:19:19.439 --> 1:19:22.240 winning this argument on the merits over the gun control 1:19:22.320 --> 1:19:24.800 case that they make. They don't understand these weapons, they 1:19:24.800 --> 1:19:26.360 don't know the laws that are already on the books. 1:19:26.360 --> 1:19:31.160 They don't understand or care much for Second Amendment jurisprudence. 1:19:32.080 --> 1:19:33.960 They keep losing the argument and then just they want 1:19:33.960 --> 1:19:35.400 to shout at us and tell us, well, it doesn't 1:19:35.400 --> 1:19:38.080 matter that they lose the argument. They still they still 1:19:38.120 --> 1:19:40.960 should be able to get whatever they want from a 1:19:40.960 --> 1:19:43.160 policy perspective. And to this, I just say, I just 1:19:43.240 --> 1:19:48.960 say no, sorry, not signing up for that. Not okay 1:19:49.680 --> 1:19:55.040 with being emotionally ambushed and bludgeoned by the left every 1:19:55.040 --> 1:19:59.280 time there's a very bad thing that happens in this country. 1:19:59.520 --> 1:20:02.960 When it to gun violence, which is unfortunately going to happen, 1:20:03.720 --> 1:20:05.920 there's no there's no way around this. There's going They're 1:20:05.920 --> 1:20:08.679 going to be shootings. There are three hundred and thirty 1:20:08.720 --> 1:20:11.360 million people in this country. There are going to be shootings. 1:20:11.720 --> 1:20:13.800 What laws do we have and how well do we 1:20:13.920 --> 1:20:18.920 enforce those laws? That's a question to ask. Enough concerned 1:20:19.040 --> 1:20:26.840 that we're making ducto, we treated fairly well. They become 1:20:26.960 --> 1:20:30.320 very rich companies very fast. And the whole thing with 1:20:30.439 --> 1:20:36.280 vaping is is a very profitable and I want companies. Look, 1:20:36.360 --> 1:20:39.040 you know that I fight for our companies very hard. 1:20:39.080 --> 1:20:41.960 If I fight That's why I'm fighting with China. That's 1:20:41.960 --> 1:20:45.000 why I'm fighting with other countries. If you look at 1:20:45.080 --> 1:20:48.960 European Union, and if you look at Japan, and if 1:20:49.000 --> 1:20:51.960 you look at so many others, including South Korea and 1:20:52.479 --> 1:20:56.320 many others, were constantly dealing with them to make it 1:20:56.360 --> 1:20:58.479 good for our companies because I view it as jobs. 1:20:59.160 --> 1:21:01.679 I viewed as in them for our country and jobs. 1:21:02.840 --> 1:21:05.760 Vaping has become a very big business, as I understand it, 1:21:05.880 --> 1:21:08.479 like a giant business in a very short period of time. 1:21:08.880 --> 1:21:11.080 But we can't allow people to get sick, and we 1:21:11.160 --> 1:21:16.240 can't have our youth be so affected. Looks like they're 1:21:16.280 --> 1:21:20.439 getting ready for a band, folks. The Trump administration no less. 1:21:21.880 --> 1:21:25.439 Now we must adhere to principle. We have to be 1:21:25.479 --> 1:21:27.720 honest here. This is a little This attrikes me as 1:21:27.760 --> 1:21:32.360 a little a little nanny state, like maybe very Nanni state. Like. 1:21:32.600 --> 1:21:36.840 I cannot get behind this. I have never smoked a cigarette, 1:21:36.840 --> 1:21:41.800 I have never vaped, but I just don't I don't 1:21:41.880 --> 1:21:44.880 see why this is the answer. I know a lot 1:21:44.880 --> 1:21:51.679 of people who use vaping because it's less dangerous, it's 1:21:51.800 --> 1:22:01.560 less problematic than say the actual traditional cigarettes, old school cigarettes, 1:22:02.320 --> 1:22:06.920 and people this uh current frenzy seems to be around 1:22:06.960 --> 1:22:10.000 individuals who have died. I don't know how many ROSA mark, 1:22:10.080 --> 1:22:12.400 how many vaping deaths have there been. Let me just 1:22:12.520 --> 1:22:18.439 be clear, I think it's very few. Overall. Wall Street 1:22:18.479 --> 1:22:20.960 Journal says doctors and officials urge people to stop vaping. 1:22:21.760 --> 1:22:28.920 Hundreds of potential cases of pulmonary illnesses. Six deaths, six 1:22:28.960 --> 1:22:32.880 deaths have been associated with this with this illness. And 1:22:33.040 --> 1:22:36.000 my understanding of this so far, and they're still figuring 1:22:36.040 --> 1:22:40.800 this out, is that they think that there's a an 1:22:40.840 --> 1:22:46.479 issue here with THHC lace products. I think essentially black 1:22:46.600 --> 1:22:50.439 market versions of these products that have gotten out there, 1:22:51.240 --> 1:22:55.400 and that may be the cause of this. I've got 1:22:55.400 --> 1:22:59.000 to tell you, you you know, six from the many, many 1:22:59.080 --> 1:23:05.840 people that are used this across the country, that doesn't 1:23:05.840 --> 1:23:08.320 seem like. Look, I'm just gonna say that six people 1:23:08.520 --> 1:23:11.160 dying from an illness related to something doesn't strike me 1:23:11.280 --> 1:23:14.160 as in and of itself a crisis. It strikes me 1:23:14.200 --> 1:23:17.040 as something worthy of inquiry and investigation. And I'm not like, 1:23:17.600 --> 1:23:20.160 I'm not a pro vaping guy. I don't vape myself. 1:23:20.920 --> 1:23:24.800 I just know that there's no way in my mind. Okay, 1:23:25.000 --> 1:23:27.320 let's just let's just back this up for a second. 1:23:27.840 --> 1:23:31.920 There's no way that vaping isn't at least better for 1:23:32.000 --> 1:23:36.040 you than smoking old school tobacco. I mean, producer Mark, 1:23:36.080 --> 1:23:38.000 am I missing something? Does anyone think that? I mean, 1:23:38.200 --> 1:23:42.040 it's water vapor. How can that be anywhere near as 1:23:42.040 --> 1:23:48.720 bad for you as burning tobacco leaves and inhaling acrid 1:23:48.840 --> 1:23:51.400 smoke all the time. It could be something in the 1:23:51.479 --> 1:23:56.360 vapor that's making people sick, but it's I don't think 1:23:56.360 --> 1:23:59.400 it's as bad. But I mean, if it's causing some 1:23:59.439 --> 1:24:02.639 certain lung diseases, I see why the alarm. No. Look, 1:24:02.800 --> 1:24:05.080 I'm not saying there shouldn't be alarm, But to me, 1:24:05.120 --> 1:24:08.680 a nationwide ban on this strikes because think of how 1:24:08.680 --> 1:24:13.000 many people might use this stuff and then it might 1:24:13.040 --> 1:24:15.120 be vaping and that's going to prevent them from getting 1:24:15.160 --> 1:24:17.519 lung cancer. You know, when you start to look at 1:24:17.560 --> 1:24:22.400 the aggregate benefit of something that is safer than what 1:24:23.000 --> 1:24:26.439 you know, the alternative is. I just don't see it. 1:24:26.600 --> 1:24:28.559 I don't understand why they want to ban it. I look, 1:24:28.680 --> 1:24:34.960 I know they're saying, they're saying that there's a you know, 1:24:34.960 --> 1:24:37.000 what do you call it? There's h it is a 1:24:37.000 --> 1:24:40.120 gateway where we always hear about this. This is a gateway, 1:24:40.760 --> 1:24:43.840 and that's why they have all these flavors like you know, 1:24:43.960 --> 1:24:47.280 bubble yum and pomegranate and all this stuff. This is 1:24:47.320 --> 1:24:50.000 what we keep hearing about, is that we don't want 1:24:50.080 --> 1:24:54.240 kids to be vaping, which is probably true. But if 1:24:54.280 --> 1:24:56.920 we're going to have this discussion, I think we also 1:24:56.920 --> 1:24:58.960 have to have a discussion about we don't want kids 1:24:58.960 --> 1:25:03.800 to be drinking either. You know, we don't want people 1:25:03.800 --> 1:25:07.479 to be doing these things. We just don't. So are 1:25:07.520 --> 1:25:10.479 we gonna you know, bands are a bad idea, You're 1:25:10.520 --> 1:25:12.960 going to force this underground and if in fact it's 1:25:12.960 --> 1:25:16.920 from faulty products. Now people are saying, oh, buck, but 1:25:16.960 --> 1:25:19.960 what about you know, what about people that are taking fentonel. 1:25:20.040 --> 1:25:23.720 You know, I'm not saying banning anything is a bad idea, 1:25:23.800 --> 1:25:27.479 but there's there's not enough evidence yet that this is dangerous. 1:25:27.479 --> 1:25:30.439 This is dangerous at a level where a band is required, 1:25:30.479 --> 1:25:32.320 I think we'll do more harm, more harm than good. 1:25:32.960 --> 1:25:35.160 And if it is in fact the case that you 1:25:35.240 --> 1:25:41.559 have black market vaping products, and that's what the essentially 1:25:41.600 --> 1:25:45.000 faulty products out in the system are what is really 1:25:45.040 --> 1:25:47.599 causing these illnesses, the few hundreds of illnesses, and then 1:25:47.640 --> 1:25:52.640 people with six people that have died. Then by banning, 1:25:52.680 --> 1:25:55.719 you're just going to increase the black market. And people 1:25:55.760 --> 1:25:57.840 seem to really like this. That's why it's a big business. 1:25:57.920 --> 1:26:01.439 And you know, Jewel and these other companies continue to 1:26:01.479 --> 1:26:03.840 make a lot of money doing this. So I just 1:26:04.040 --> 1:26:08.120 don't I don't see how the ban is going to 1:26:08.200 --> 1:26:11.439 be a good idea. And I'm a little surprised that 1:26:11.840 --> 1:26:14.960 this is the response you're getting from from President Trump. 1:26:15.080 --> 1:26:18.160 You don't producer mark, You don't smart smart, You don't. 1:26:18.160 --> 1:26:21.920 You don't smart, do you? You don't never never smarked 1:26:21.920 --> 1:26:25.120 in your life. No, I don't smoke either. Have you 1:26:25.160 --> 1:26:27.599 ever smoked a cigarette? No? I never would. It never 1:26:27.600 --> 1:26:29.200 appealed to me. I mean, I had a lot of friends. 1:26:29.240 --> 1:26:30.960 I knew a lot of girls growing up. We were 1:26:30.960 --> 1:26:34.680 teenagers who smoked Marlborough retts. They were getting after it 1:26:34.680 --> 1:26:38.400 with Marlborough rets. That's that's some pretty strong stuff. I 1:26:38.439 --> 1:26:40.760 also remember being a teenager here in New York City 1:26:40.800 --> 1:26:43.880 and and going out to bars and nightclubs, believe it 1:26:44.000 --> 1:26:47.599 or not, in my teens. Um, you're from around here, 1:26:47.600 --> 1:26:49.519 so you know that's that's not that weird. But I 1:26:49.560 --> 1:26:51.960 think if I ever walked into a bar and saw 1:26:52.000 --> 1:26:54.040 a bunch of fifteen year olds and sixteen year olds 1:26:54.040 --> 1:26:58.000 in there, I'd be like, what is this place nowadays? Yes? Yeah, exactly, 1:26:58.120 --> 1:27:00.880 that needs to be very normal. Yeah, were at fake IDs. 1:27:00.920 --> 1:27:02.800 Everybody would go into these places here in New York 1:27:02.840 --> 1:27:05.120 City and you walk everybody would be in high school 1:27:05.120 --> 1:27:09.000 taking shots at tequila and getting into bar fights, which 1:27:09.000 --> 1:27:11.240 really just involved like grabbing each other and fall into 1:27:11.240 --> 1:27:14.879 the ground and being like you stop it, mean person. 1:27:15.000 --> 1:27:19.639 In our fights, Catholic school fights were not usually particularly badass. 1:27:20.040 --> 1:27:25.040 But anyway, the smoking band that Bloomberg, I'm just gonna 1:27:25.040 --> 1:27:27.360 say it, when Bloomberg enacted that smoking band, this is 1:27:27.360 --> 1:27:29.720 where this is where my nanny state kicks in. And 1:27:29.760 --> 1:27:32.280 I'm like, you know, I kind of like it. I 1:27:32.320 --> 1:27:35.240 liked it. Change the city it was, it was better. 1:27:35.280 --> 1:27:37.360 And I know that you could argue, oh, but what 1:27:37.439 --> 1:27:40.360 about establishments that are that want to do it differently? 1:27:40.400 --> 1:27:45.040 And I understand that I'm violating principle and I own that. 1:27:45.720 --> 1:27:49.360 I own it, But I also think that there was 1:27:49.400 --> 1:27:51.720 a little bit of a war in restaurants between the 1:27:51.720 --> 1:27:55.360 smokers and the non smokers. And you know, you had 1:27:55.400 --> 1:27:57.759 one group of people that really believed very very strongly 1:27:57.760 --> 1:27:59.320 that should be able to smoke at a restaurant. So 1:27:59.320 --> 1:28:01.960 everybody else has to smell their smoke, and and it's 1:28:01.960 --> 1:28:04.679 a physical compulsion. Obviously any of other people who really 1:28:04.680 --> 1:28:07.200 didn't want to be smelling that. It just wasn't. It 1:28:07.280 --> 1:28:09.759 wasn't a recipe for anyone to be happy. It really wasn't. 1:28:09.880 --> 1:28:12.360 It's a bad move. To this day, you can't walk 1:28:12.400 --> 1:28:16.200 down the street without smelling cigarette smoke somewhere, and weed smoke. 1:28:16.320 --> 1:28:18.479 I'm shocked by how often a lot of smoke you're 1:28:18.520 --> 1:28:20.960 in New York. Yeah, and the cops do nothing about it. Now, 1:28:20.960 --> 1:28:22.960 I guess it's not a felin man. Sometimes it's like 1:28:23.000 --> 1:28:26.840 the weed brownies. And like weed cookies, you don't smell those. 1:28:26.880 --> 1:28:29.719 Though you don't smell him, you taste him. It taste delicious. Man, 1:28:30.040 --> 1:28:32.559 he's getting the back of a little weed truck. You're like, hey, 1:28:33.520 --> 1:28:37.839 do you have like a blondie with the weed? Anyway? 1:28:38.720 --> 1:28:40.880 I wonder if they're really going to go forward this band. 1:28:40.960 --> 1:28:44.280 It strikes me as a bad idea, but you know what, 1:28:44.400 --> 1:28:45.720 we do have to find out more of what's by 1:28:45.720 --> 1:28:47.160 the way, you know what else we never found out about. 1:28:47.160 --> 1:28:50.840 If we're talking about mysterious illnesses, that are people dying 1:28:50.920 --> 1:28:54.160 from from mysterious circumstances. Whatever happen they did Medican Republic. 1:28:54.560 --> 1:28:57.519 Did we lose like nine Americans there dying from? No 1:28:57.520 --> 1:28:59.639 one knew what they thought. Maybe it was bootleg liquor. 1:29:00.280 --> 1:29:02.240 I had to change my whole honeymoon because I did 1:29:02.240 --> 1:29:04.720 you really. Yeah, we were originally going to dr got 1:29:04.720 --> 1:29:06.760 a great deal and then my soon to be wife 1:29:06.840 --> 1:29:08.479 was like, Nope, not doing it and not taking the risk. 1:29:08.840 --> 1:29:10.720 Now we're going to Jamaica. Yeah, you and a lot 1:29:10.720 --> 1:29:13.080 of other people. Yeah, they lost a lot of money. 1:29:13.200 --> 1:29:15.960 I can imagine. Well, we'll see if this band goes through. 1:29:16.040 --> 1:29:18.439 I hope it doesn't because I don't like banning products 1:29:18.479 --> 1:29:21.560 that come with stated risks. But we'll see. We'll be 1:29:21.640 --> 1:29:32.400 right back with Roll Call. Hey, team bug, it's time 1:29:32.439 --> 1:29:44.960 for Roll Call game. We are gonna do a double 1:29:45.080 --> 1:29:47.679 sesh of the Roll Call tonight just because I feel 1:29:47.720 --> 1:29:51.320 like it, just because I figure I want to hear 1:29:51.479 --> 1:29:55.240 from all of you on this day that a day 1:29:55.280 --> 1:29:57.320 of remembrance. You know, what do we do? How do 1:29:57.360 --> 1:29:59.800 we refer to it obviously refer to as nine a 1:29:59.840 --> 1:30:04.400 love in September eleventh. That's I suppose it is a day, 1:30:04.600 --> 1:30:08.880 just a day of national remembrance. Um, sadness in rage 1:30:08.880 --> 1:30:11.320 are the main things that I tend to conjure up 1:30:11.320 --> 1:30:12.519 when I think about it. But I want to know 1:30:12.560 --> 1:30:15.120 what all of you are thinking, and so with that 1:30:15.240 --> 1:30:20.240 in mind, I will get to the roll call Facebook 1:30:20.280 --> 1:30:22.360 dot com, slash buck sex. Then I'm every day I'm 1:30:22.360 --> 1:30:24.519 gonna keep saying, why don't we get our email producer Mark? 1:30:24.560 --> 1:30:28.080 Do we know no update yet? Who do? Who?

I just hired a 1:30:49.760 --> 1:30:52.120 personal trainer. Don't do that, He'll yell at me. Oh 1:30:52.200 --> 1:30:53.880 good for you, though, dude, I've been thinking about doing 1:30:53.920 --> 1:30:56.080 the same thing. Maybe we'll start working out together. What 1:30:56.120 --> 1:30:58.639 do you think team buck workouts? We could live stream 1:30:58.680 --> 1:31:01.120 that stuff. Man, you might kill we'd be like Hans 1:31:01.160 --> 1:31:04.479 and Franz. My name is producer Mark and I'm host 1:31:04.560 --> 1:31:07.960 Buck and I'm here to pomp you up. We could 1:31:08.000 --> 1:31:12.800 do that sure viral content. It's worth worth. I'm just 1:31:12.840 --> 1:31:15.320 saying it's worth thinking about. All right, another time, Well, 1:31:15.320 --> 1:31:20.120 when's the wedding by the way, No, damn soon. That's 1:31:20.160 --> 1:31:23.040 why I hired the personal training. It's go.

When you do the walk down the aisle, 1:31:25.120 --> 1:31:27.720 do it, you know, walking like a handstand like that. 1:31:28.200 --> 1:31:31.400 I'll have some dumbells in my hand out there exactly exactly. 1:31:31.400 --> 1:31:33.600 You know. I hear that it's very fashionable now to 1:31:34.000 --> 1:31:37.720 do your wedding wearing athletic attire. So that's what I've 1:31:37.720 --> 1:31:41.200 heard too, exactly. So yeah, Lula Lemon makes a lovely tux. 1:31:41.880 --> 1:31:44.360 All right, Uh, what have I been talking about here? 1:31:44.400 --> 1:31:47.360 We've got the things, We've got all of the discussions 1:31:47.360 --> 1:31:49.839 to be at your Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. 1:31:50.000 --> 1:31:53.439 Two weeks actually less than two weeks until you can 1:31:53.439 --> 1:31:56.320 start downloading the Buck Sexton Show at three Eastern every 1:31:56.439 --> 1:32:00.640 day on podcast. So I would recommend that you at 1:32:00.680 --> 1:32:03.400 least subscribe that way if you are ever late on 1:32:03.439 --> 1:32:05.760 your radio station, or you're not in the car, or 1:32:05.760 --> 1:32:07.479 you want to listen on your own time. You can 1:32:08.240 --> 1:32:11.519 listen that away, and I would very much appreciate it 1:32:11.520 --> 1:32:13.839 if you would. So, even if you're a radio listener, 1:32:13.880 --> 1:32:16.600 go on iTunes, type in the Buck Sexton show in 1:32:16.600 --> 1:32:21.639 the search bar, and we roll from there. Thomas rides Buck. 1:32:21.760 --> 1:32:24.040 My wife and I were on vacation and missed a 1:32:24.080 --> 1:32:27.160 few days of your show. When we got back home, 1:32:27.200 --> 1:32:29.519 I told her you were we were going to binge 1:32:29.840 --> 1:32:34.639 listen to you. To my comments, she said, Buck that 1:32:35.320 --> 1:32:39.559 I'm sure you've heard that one before. Shields High Well funny, 1:32:39.720 --> 1:32:41.680 but can't we get her to maybe listen to the 1:32:41.680 --> 1:32:44.720 old shows with you? Because I feel like that's that's 1:32:44.760 --> 1:32:46.760 the best way that this should go. I mean, that 1:32:47.000 --> 1:32:49.680 would be my if you're asking me what my preference is, 1:32:49.720 --> 1:32:52.920 that's my preference. That's how you guys would catch up. No, 1:32:53.000 --> 1:32:55.360 we want them to listen on different iPhones or different 1:32:55.560 --> 1:32:58.559 exactly multiple iPhones and get other family members to join in. 1:32:58.640 --> 1:33:03.760 Have a whole buck listening part. Thomas just watched a 1:33:03.920 --> 1:33:06.639 merit ups now that was old. Sorry, hey Bock, thanks 1:33:06.680 --> 1:33:09.240 for keeping us warm and safe at night or safe 1:33:09.240 --> 1:33:11.439 and warm at night. You must add one more place 1:33:11.479 --> 1:33:14.400 to your list of flip flop acceptable places, which could 1:33:14.400 --> 1:33:18.479 be seen as a New Yorker looking down on casual fashion. Whoai. 1:33:18.840 --> 1:33:22.160 In Hawaii, they're called slippers and are worn everywhere all 1:33:22.160 --> 1:33:27.040 the time, So please don't discount the Hawaii slipper legitness. 1:33:27.160 --> 1:33:30.439 Hawaii actually has a completely different fashion sense from the mainland, 1:33:30.479 --> 1:33:33.080 So there's that disclosure. My wife was born and raised there, 1:33:33.160 --> 1:33:37.639 Thomas Oss. Well, Thomas, let's just let's revisit what I said. 1:33:38.479 --> 1:33:41.000 I said that there are only certain places going to 1:33:41.000 --> 1:33:44.720 the pool, going to the beach. Hawaii is essentially one 1:33:44.760 --> 1:33:48.360 giant beach. Wherever you are in Hawaii, you are within 1:33:48.439 --> 1:33:51.719 striking distance of a beautiful beach. So yes, of course, 1:33:51.760 --> 1:33:54.040 if you are a resident of the state of Hawaii 1:33:54.360 --> 1:33:56.680 and you choose to wear flip flops wherever you go, 1:33:57.160 --> 1:33:59.720 you are theoretically on route to the beach. It's just 1:33:59.760 --> 1:34:02.160 to question how long it takes you to get there. 1:34:03.400 --> 1:34:07.120 Whereas if you are a resident of the great state 1:34:07.200 --> 1:34:12.880 of Iowa and you were wearing flip flops in November, 1:34:13.920 --> 1:34:16.360 to me, you should probably put shoes on. I'm just 1:34:16.400 --> 1:34:19.280 putting it out there. I think. I think that's the 1:34:19.280 --> 1:34:20.760 way I used to walk around New York City and 1:34:20.800 --> 1:34:23.439 flip flops. I'll tell you this is the truth. I 1:34:23.479 --> 1:34:24.800 don't know why. I just used to think that it 1:34:24.840 --> 1:34:26.160 was kind of cool to just kick around on my 1:34:26.160 --> 1:34:28.880 flip flops, and then I realized that my feet were 1:34:28.880 --> 1:34:30.800 getting dirty. And all it takes, and this is going 1:34:30.880 --> 1:34:33.920 to get gross, but I'm giving you a public safety announcement. 1:34:34.400 --> 1:34:40.680 All it takes is stepping into one gross huddle of 1:34:40.920 --> 1:34:44.439 stuff with a flip flop on instead of a shoe, 1:34:45.120 --> 1:34:48.240 and then going home and thinking like, oh, I wonder 1:34:48.320 --> 1:34:52.200 if flesh eating bacteria maybe seeped into this blister that 1:34:52.280 --> 1:34:56.519 I have, or oh like maybe the chemicals that my 1:34:56.600 --> 1:34:59.040 foot has been subjected to from the New York City 1:34:59.120 --> 1:35:02.760 streets will slowly erode it until there's nothing but a 1:35:02.880 --> 1:35:04.840 nub left. You know, these are the thoughts you have 1:35:05.000 --> 1:35:08.559 so you don't want to go flip flopping around New 1:35:08.640 --> 1:35:11.360 York City streets? Am I right? Producer Mark, I don't 1:35:11.400 --> 1:35:13.519 even like to touch a subway pull without using hand 1:35:13.520 --> 1:35:16.360 sanitizer afterwards. Never mind my foot. You're a man after 1:35:16.439 --> 1:35:19.000 my own heart, dude. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about 1:35:19.080 --> 1:35:25.920 that's for sure. Let's see here, Dale Rights hey Buck, 1:35:26.479 --> 1:35:29.840 I actually ask for a stand up desk at work. 1:35:30.320 --> 1:35:32.559 I've had it for two weeks and love it. I 1:35:32.600 --> 1:35:35.800 feel my productivity is up and I don't get fatigued 1:35:35.880 --> 1:35:38.280 like I thought I would standing up most of the day. 1:35:38.760 --> 1:35:41.800 Getting the right matt to support your feet is very important. 1:35:42.080 --> 1:35:46.840 I would highly recommend you give it a shot. I'd 1:35:46.880 --> 1:35:48.840 like to. I just think I'm gonna whimp out, but 1:35:48.840 --> 1:35:50.599 I don't know. Maybe I'm gonna get a standing desk, 1:35:50.640 --> 1:35:52.040 And in fact, it would be great to get a 1:35:52.080 --> 1:35:56.400 standing desk sponsor. So maybe I'll reach out to the 1:35:56.439 --> 1:35:58.840 sponsor and say, hey, I'm gonna start using your standing desk, 1:35:58.880 --> 1:36:00.280 and if I like it, I'll tell every but on 1:36:00.280 --> 1:36:02.240 Team Buck to buy it. I think that's the plan. 1:36:02.320 --> 1:36:05.120 I think that's what we should do. But yes, indeed, 1:36:06.160 --> 1:36:09.320 having better posture is important. That's also something that we've 1:36:09.320 --> 1:36:14.880 all learned. That's another real, a real thing. Harry hey Buck. 1:36:14.920 --> 1:36:19.960 Trump's tweet advocating zero or negative interest rates is very disappointing. 1:36:20.760 --> 1:36:22.640 It leads one to begin to believe he doesn't know 1:36:22.760 --> 1:36:25.320 as much about the economy and finance as he would 1:36:25.360 --> 1:36:29.519 have us think superficially what he tweeted makes sense, but 1:36:29.560 --> 1:36:31.840 in the long run it will destroy the American dollar 1:36:31.960 --> 1:36:34.760 and economy. Have you been reading what your friends at 1:36:34.800 --> 1:36:38.080 Stansbury and others have to say about ZERP and NERP 1:36:40.479 --> 1:36:43.439 shields high, Harry. I read a lot of Stansbury stuff, 1:36:43.439 --> 1:36:46.080 but I have not read about ZERP and NERP. I 1:36:46.120 --> 1:36:49.400 don't know. I am assuming that's zero interest rate policy 1:36:49.600 --> 1:36:53.479 and near I don't know what neutral interests. I don't 1:36:53.479 --> 1:36:55.280 know what NERP is old on. Let me let me 1:36:55.320 --> 1:36:58.679 do a quick let's see what it says about NERP. 1:36:59.200 --> 1:37:02.759 Negative interest Okay, negative interestrate policy and zero interest rate policy. 1:37:02.760 --> 1:37:06.599 That makes sense? Yeah, now, I haven't reputs Deansbury says 1:37:06.600 --> 1:37:12.880 about that, so I should check that out. Run now right, 1:37:13.320 --> 1:37:16.280 Love the show, Buck, love the show. Any thoughts on 1:37:16.320 --> 1:37:22.240 the Vatican saying no communion for pro abortion politicians. I 1:37:22.320 --> 1:37:27.040 haven't seen this, Ronald, But that's what the Vaticans should do. 1:37:28.400 --> 1:37:30.760 That should be the response. If you're a politician and 1:37:30.760 --> 1:37:33.120 you say you're a Roman Catholic and you are pro abortion, 1:37:33.600 --> 1:37:36.280 they should say no, I'm sorry, you're you're outside the 1:37:36.320 --> 1:37:39.720 community now or else? What's the point of having any 1:37:39.760 --> 1:37:41.479 of these rules, Like, what's the point of any of 1:37:41.520 --> 1:37:45.120 this if we're just gonna say, yeah, everything's fine. Remember, 1:37:45.120 --> 1:37:49.080 it's one thing to engage in wrong action yourself. We 1:37:49.120 --> 1:37:52.200 are all sinners, we are all fallen, we all make mistakes. 1:37:52.720 --> 1:37:55.439 It's another thing to openly advocate for what is evil 1:37:55.800 --> 1:37:57.599 as though it were good, as though it's a right, 1:37:58.120 --> 1:38:01.559 and to have power to enact that beyond even just 1:38:01.600 --> 1:38:06.280 the platform of spreading that wrongness. So yeah, I think 1:38:06.320 --> 1:38:08.640 that that's I think that's real. I think, Ronald, that 1:38:08.640 --> 1:38:11.240 they should all of a sudden, you to have Nancy 1:38:11.280 --> 1:38:15.040 Pelosi and Joe Biden, and they're a bunch on that 1:38:15.040 --> 1:38:18.920 would be left sans communion. Now, I also think that 1:38:18.960 --> 1:38:20.640 they wouldn't really care all that much except for how 1:38:20.640 --> 1:38:22.960 it affects them politically. I know I'm making a judgment 1:38:22.960 --> 1:38:27.200 about how Catholic they are, but Nancy Pelosi doesn't strike 1:38:27.240 --> 1:38:29.320 me as a as a deeply religious person. I think 1:38:29.360 --> 1:38:32.400 she thinks that it's necessary for her political brand. But 1:38:33.000 --> 1:38:34.880 I believe that there are a lot of politicians who 1:38:34.920 --> 1:38:37.519 look down on truly religious people, and they think that 1:38:37.560 --> 1:38:43.040 they're really that the politicians are engaged in a necessary ruse. Essentially, 1:38:43.160 --> 1:38:47.160 they are fooling people that need to be fooled in 1:38:47.280 --> 1:38:49.240 order for the politicians to get away with what they're doing. 1:38:49.600 --> 1:38:55.519 That's the plan, that's what they do. Jane Right's listening 1:38:55.560 --> 1:39:00.320 to Beto today, I'm reminded of Jim Rouse's dream for Columbia, Maryland. 1:39:00.400 --> 1:39:02.040 Columbia is now one of the richest places in the 1:39:02.080 --> 1:39:08.400 metropolitan area. They are gradually pushing the middle class out. Well, 1:39:09.160 --> 1:39:10.559 I gotta take your word for I don't know anything 1:39:10.560 --> 1:39:14.280 about Columbia, Maryland, so sounds like a thing that's happening. 1:39:14.520 --> 1:39:16.599 I don't know. I do know that New York City 1:39:16.640 --> 1:39:20.200 gets more expensive all of the time, all the time, 1:39:20.880 --> 1:39:24.240 and that just seems like it's not possible, Like, how 1:39:24.360 --> 1:39:26.400 is it that New York could just continuously be more 1:39:26.439 --> 1:39:29.679 and more expensive? But that's that is in fact where 1:39:29.680 --> 1:39:36.200 we are. Am Ethan right Buck. I couldn't agree more 1:39:36.240 --> 1:39:40.720 with your feelings on Red Eye. Absolutely fantastic show. I 1:39:40.800 --> 1:39:42.639 got hooked on it in two thousand and eight while 1:39:42.680 --> 1:39:46.040 station in Korea because it was on at five pm there, 1:39:46.080 --> 1:39:48.400 so I'd catch it like almost every day after work. 1:39:48.840 --> 1:39:51.679 Greg Gutfeld's show now is good, but it's no Red Eye. 1:39:53.240 --> 1:39:55.479 John Bolton wasn't just a guest. He was actually named 1:39:55.520 --> 1:39:58.880 the president of Red Eye. Look, I gave him credit 1:39:59.000 --> 1:40:02.600 last night on Y's show. I think that Bolton, you know, 1:40:02.600 --> 1:40:04.120 and I want to be very clear about this. I 1:40:04.120 --> 1:40:07.439 don't think that John Bolton is anything but a patriot 1:40:07.439 --> 1:40:09.599 and and somebody who thinks that he's doing a lot 1:40:09.600 --> 1:40:11.400 of good in the world. And he's a smart guy. 1:40:11.560 --> 1:40:14.599 He's a knowledgeable guy. You know. I'm not somebody who 1:40:14.680 --> 1:40:20.479 trashes Bolton the person. I think Bolton is wrong on 1:40:20.560 --> 1:40:23.719 some things, or perhaps a bit stronger on some things 1:40:23.720 --> 1:40:25.880 than is wise. And I think that he's not a 1:40:25.920 --> 1:40:29.599 good choice for this administration. But you know, John Bolton, 1:40:29.760 --> 1:40:32.320 I've I've interacted with him. He's always been a perfect gentleman. 1:40:32.560 --> 1:40:35.080 He was funny on Red Eye, and he's very smart, 1:40:35.160 --> 1:40:37.280 and I believe that he thinks he's serving his country 1:40:37.280 --> 1:40:39.080 in the best way possible. He's not a bad guy. 1:40:39.880 --> 1:40:41.559 So I think right now there's a lot of oh, 1:40:41.600 --> 1:40:44.000 because there's a little bit of a of a spat 1:40:44.040 --> 1:40:47.840 between Trump and him, a lot of people are pushing him, 1:40:47.840 --> 1:40:50.200 you know, under the bus. I don't think that that's 1:40:50.320 --> 1:40:51.800 I don't think it's fair to say that he's a 1:40:51.800 --> 1:40:53.360 bad guy. I think it's fair to say he's wrong 1:40:53.720 --> 1:40:55.839 or he's he has been wrong on some key issues. 1:40:56.439 --> 1:40:58.400 And you know, we thank him for his service, but 1:40:58.680 --> 1:41:00.839 it's time for him to, you know, teach at university 1:41:00.840 --> 1:41:03.679 and write books and hang out. That would be mine 1:41:03.880 --> 1:41:07.000 no more, no more John Bolton positions of authority. You know, 1:41:07.080 --> 1:41:12.479 if we get invaded by the North Koreans Wolverines, some 1:41:12.520 --> 1:41:16.080 of you will catch that reference, actually almost all of 1:41:16.080 --> 1:41:18.840 you will. Then maybe we bring Bolton back and say 1:41:18.880 --> 1:41:24.240 that it's it's go time. Keith. Right, thanks for all 1:41:24.280 --> 1:41:28.040 you do. Come to Austin again, bro Shields High Well, Keith, 1:41:28.080 --> 1:41:31.040 I haven't been to Austin yet, so I'm working on it. 1:41:31.080 --> 1:41:33.800 I have a wonderful audience down there.

Austin would be a lot of fun. 1:41:41.960 --> 1:41:45.320 Charleston would be a lot of fun. But for now, 1:41:45.520 --> 1:41:49.439 I'm a I'm a city dog fighting the Libs. Fighting 1:41:49.479 --> 1:41:54.840 the Libs here from n why see, and that is 1:41:54.920 --> 1:41:57.720 how we go That is how we roll It's what 1:41:57.800 --> 1:42:00.599 we do here in the freedom und all right, Oh wait, 1:42:00.680 --> 1:42:02.760 we got to take a moment to catch our breath 1:42:02.800 --> 1:42:08.400 before we continue with your wonderful, insightful quips on roll call. 1:42:08.439 --> 1:42:11.960 We'll be right back, and we're back with Oh, this 1:42:12.040 --> 1:42:13.560 is the Buck Sexton Show.

But here we are, Kathy, 1:42:19.840 --> 1:42:23.759 right Buck, Which Pluto app I've looked in? There are several. 1:42:23.800 --> 1:42:26.040 I did download the Pluto TV app for free TV 1:42:26.120 --> 1:42:28.519 and found a channel dedicated to doctor Who, so I 1:42:28.560 --> 1:42:30.640 am happy about that. However, I'd like to make sure 1:42:30.680 --> 1:42:32.640 I download the correct Pluto app to be able to 1:42:32.640 --> 1:42:36.120 watch you. Thanks, Kathy o SS Kathy.

So it's the 1:42:48.280 --> 1:42:50.960 Pluto TV app. Get it, Get it started to just 1:42:51.000 --> 1:42:54.000 download it on your smartphone, folks. Doesn't cost you a dime, 1:42:54.040 --> 1:42:55.880 and it's not just my show. There's other stuff that 1:42:55.960 --> 1:43:02.760 you can watch too if you want so. Yes, indeed, 1:43:04.040 --> 1:43:08.880 Brian right, I wonder how upset Betet would be if 1:43:08.920 --> 1:43:11.719 I set up a trailer in his yard. Well, Brian, 1:43:11.760 --> 1:43:13.680 that's what you keep seeing with all these libs. They 1:43:13.720 --> 1:43:17.599 pretend like they want poor people living next to rich people, 1:43:17.800 --> 1:43:19.639 but never them. They don't want it. You know. It's 1:43:19.640 --> 1:43:22.960 the same with refugees. Oh, America should take in just 1:43:23.120 --> 1:43:25.920 as many refugees as want to come here, but they 1:43:25.960 --> 1:43:28.120 can't go to the schools of the rich Libs that 1:43:28.240 --> 1:43:29.680 say that, no, no, no, no no. They have to 1:43:29.720 --> 1:43:32.240 go to schools with people who are working class. They 1:43:32.280 --> 1:43:34.679 have to go into neighborhoods where people work very hard 1:43:34.720 --> 1:43:37.720 to try to save up more money, moved to a 1:43:37.720 --> 1:43:41.880 bigger house, being a better school district. Those are the 1:43:41.920 --> 1:43:48.120 people that end up getting refugee populations, generally speaking, you know, 1:43:48.280 --> 1:43:51.240 distributed there by the federal government. It's not happening in 1:43:51.280 --> 1:43:55.280 a Nancy Pelosi's neighborhood in San Francisco, that's for sure. 1:43:55.560 --> 1:43:59.240 Or not, they're not putting them up in mansions. Pelosi 1:43:59.400 --> 1:44:07.320 would not would not approve Kyle rights Buck. I've got 1:44:07.320 --> 1:44:09.120 a strong stomach. But the segment you did on the 1:44:09.160 --> 1:44:12.320 twenty eight week elective abortion made me a bit queasy. 1:44:12.880 --> 1:44:15.040 I remember feeling a kick through my wife's stomach at 1:44:15.080 --> 1:44:17.599 twenty three weeks, and I just can't imagine someone waiting 1:44:17.640 --> 1:44:20.040 another five weeks to kill the baby for their own 1:44:20.080 --> 1:44:23.080 personal convenience. I know it's a hyperbolic statement, but I 1:44:23.120 --> 1:44:24.800 don't know how it is to classify that action as 1:44:24.800 --> 1:44:26.840 other than murder. I hope that in one hundred and 1:44:26.840 --> 1:44:29.320 fifty years, Americans will look back on Roe v. Wade 1:44:29.320 --> 1:44:32.599 the same way we look back on dread Scott. That 1:44:32.680 --> 1:44:35.120 case is a stain on the moral fabric of our country. 1:44:35.400 --> 1:44:37.679 Anyone who reads the majority opinion of that case should 1:44:37.680 --> 1:44:41.800 be disturbed by the parallel lines of logic in it 1:44:41.840 --> 1:44:46.280 that exists in the modern pro choice movement. Kyle, I 1:44:46.360 --> 1:44:50.280 think you're absolutely correct. I actually found out from some 1:44:50.360 --> 1:44:53.040 of them very close to that someone that he's very 1:44:53.080 --> 1:44:58.920 close to was born three months premature, born at six months, 1:44:58.920 --> 1:45:01.280 and survived in its perfect healthy and happy and fine today. 1:45:01.760 --> 1:45:06.360 Pretty remarkable. Yeah, I get Look, look, we always you 1:45:07.040 --> 1:45:08.760 say what is good. When it is good, you give 1:45:08.760 --> 1:45:12.320 credit where it is due in the instance that is 1:45:12.400 --> 1:45:15.720 that is appropriate. You know, Tulsie Gabbard. At least she's 1:45:15.760 --> 1:45:19.559 willing to say third trimester abortion is not okay. I 1:45:19.640 --> 1:45:21.679 give her credit for that. I mean, she's gonna get 1:45:22.200 --> 1:45:25.320 crushed by the left for it. But that's where we are. 1:45:28.200 --> 1:45:30.559 Benny rides Buck. I laughed out loud when I saw 1:45:30.600 --> 1:45:34.240 the new James Bob Vaniette aka Valerie planes Ad, but 1:45:34.280 --> 1:45:36.800 it was also sobering because she made a provably false 1:45:36.840 --> 1:45:40.640 statement in response to Scooter Libby. What I don't understand 1:45:41.080 --> 1:45:43.120 is how the vast majority of Democrats are able to 1:45:43.160 --> 1:45:46.920 lie with such impunity, i e. Pelosi, Nadler, Schumer, etc. 1:45:47.479 --> 1:45:49.680 My moral compass does not allow me to state that 1:45:49.720 --> 1:45:51.920 something is true when it obviously isn't. How do they 1:45:51.960 --> 1:45:54.200 do this? If you watch any of the liberal punnits 1:45:54.200 --> 1:45:56.240 on Fox, they're also guilty. And I can't fathom how 1:45:56.240 --> 1:46:00.520 liberals are able to throw their reputations away so flippantly. 1:46:00.680 --> 1:46:06.800 She'll tie Benny in Mississippi, Benny in Mississippi. I don't 1:46:06.800 --> 1:46:10.080 know if that was close enough to was that did 1:46:10.120 --> 1:46:15.519 that across? Yeah? Too many syllables for Benny. All right, Well, 1:46:15.600 --> 1:46:17.920 we tried, team. We're gonna have a great show tomorrow. 1:46:17.920 --> 1:46:20.200 And the next day, so be sure to tune in, 1:46:20.240 --> 1:46:22.960 then talk to you. Then you know what comes next. 1:46:23.560 --> 1:46:24.520 She'll tie
