Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. The fight between Trump
Speaker 1: and the squad continues with the media fanning the flames.
Speaker 1: We'll get into the latest back and forth. And also,
Speaker 1: we're spending way too much money, my friends. Perhaps we
Speaker 1: should start to focus in on that again before it
Speaker 1: is too late and the border continues to be a
Speaker 1: mass What are the latest in the fight over trying
Speaker 1: to stop these false asylum claims that in more coming
Speaker 1: up on The Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode
Speaker 1: what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America,
Speaker 1: You're a great American Again The Buck Sexton Show begins. No,
Speaker 1: I Horrison. They should they're not happy. Where should they go?
Speaker 1: It's up to them or wherever they want, or they
Speaker 1: can stay. But they should love our country. They shouldn't
Speaker 1: hate our country. You look at what they've said. I
Speaker 1: have clips right here, the most vile, horrible statements about
Speaker 1: our country, about Israel, about others. That's up to them.
Speaker 1: You can do what they want, they can leave, they
Speaker 1: can stay that they should love our country and they
Speaker 1: should work for the good of our country. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody. Trump not backing down
Speaker 1: an inch, not saying sorry because he knows, he knows
Speaker 1: what's what's he really gonna do? How's this really gonna go? Oh?
Speaker 1: He says, you know what, I'm sorry that was racist,
Speaker 1: And then they're gonna say, Wow, Trump has really turned
Speaker 1: a corner. He's a better, brighter, warmer, fuzzier Trump. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe we'll stop saying that he's a trader or racist
Speaker 1: or rapist and a psychopath. Maybe they'll stop. Oh no,
Speaker 1: they won't stop any of that. Remember we play now
Speaker 1: by Prince Geoffrey rules from Game of Thrones. Politically, they
Speaker 1: want you to bend the knee so that they can
Speaker 1: finish you off. They want you to apologize so that
Speaker 1: your career is ruined. And then they'll say, see, he
Speaker 1: apologized exactly like a guilty person would. That's how they
Speaker 1: do this now, And I'm sorry, I'm not willing to
Speaker 1: play the game of Oh, we're gonna care about political
Speaker 1: rhetoric now, we're gonna care so much about about the specific,
Speaker 1: specific intonation of every utterance from this White House or
Speaker 1: from this president. When we just had an attempted mass
Speaker 1: casualty terror attack at at an Ice facility in Washington
Speaker 1: State where the guy left a manifesto in case you
Speaker 1: didn't know, because you probably don't because the media is
Speaker 1: not talking about this, where he was like, yeah, I'm Antifa,
Speaker 1: and I did this because of the concentration camps were
Speaker 1: running at the border. So effectively, an antifa left wing
Speaker 1: Democrat voter who thinks AOC tells the truth tried to
Speaker 1: kill a bunch of federal agents and maybe a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of other people by blowing up a building in
Speaker 1: Washington State. How much how much coverage has that gotten
Speaker 1: versus Trump effectively mouthing off on Twitter about a bunch
Speaker 1: of annoying members of Congress who clearly do have a
Speaker 1: real chip on their shoulder about this country and have
Speaker 1: real deep seated animus toward America in general. You might say, well, Buck,
Speaker 1: you know that's there are members of Congress, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure they love the country in their own way. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know plenty people love countries. People that want to
Speaker 1: take over other countries might not really like that country,
Speaker 1: but they think if they run it it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: They think if they're in charge, it'll be great. They'll
Speaker 1: change it all, they'll make it all better. And all
Speaker 1: this talk about justice and equity and all these things.
Speaker 1: We had a Democrat administration for eight years. Where were
Speaker 1: the improvements in justice and equity and social justice, all
Speaker 1: these things we heard about. How did any of that
Speaker 1: get better? Because people aren't priced out of the insurance
Speaker 1: market anymore because of you know, single because of not
Speaker 1: single power, because of no prexisting conditions. Okay, well, you
Speaker 1: know that's one thing. But I don't think that really
Speaker 1: did nearly as much as a lot of people would
Speaker 1: have thought. And I also think that now that president
Speaker 1: has decided that he is in a fight with an
Speaker 1: opposition that knows no rules, gives no quarter, and does
Speaker 1: not care as long as they win, and that's going
Speaker 1: to be his approach. Now we can all sit around
Speaker 1: and say to the president, you know, maybe you should
Speaker 1: be nicer to the other side and they'll be nice too.
Speaker 1: I think I think that would be foolish. Do I
Speaker 1: wish the president would avoid saying things that are demonstrably incorrect? Yes?
Speaker 1: Do I wish the president would phrase things differently sometimes? Yes?
Speaker 1: But I also feel like we're asking Trump, and we're
Speaker 1: asking this administration those around him to fight these messaging
Speaker 1: battles in the sense where they're completely Outgune. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've got the entire media against them, They've got all
Speaker 1: of Hollywood against them, and we're saying, well, they win
Speaker 1: most of the time, but sometimes when when something goes astray,
Speaker 1: we want to come down really hard on this administration.
Speaker 1: I just think that that's not helpful. And I'm seeing
Speaker 1: a lot of people, Republican members of Congress and different
Speaker 1: conservative commentators that are giving Trump a very hard time
Speaker 1: on this issue. Look, I think that I know what
Speaker 1: Trump was getting at. You know, if you don't like
Speaker 1: this country, no matter who you are, you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: here because you're lucky to be here. That's what he
Speaker 1: was trying to say. Did he say it exactly? You
Speaker 1: know this also, this reminds me of It's it's a
Speaker 1: version of what happened also in Charlotte and Charlottesville. When
Speaker 1: Trump was asked about what happened, he condemned, Oh you
Speaker 1: know we're here about this. He condemned, and he condemned.
Speaker 1: And then he said, well, you know they're they're when
Speaker 1: talking about those who wanted to pull down the Robert E.
Speaker 1: Lee statue and those who did and he was trying
Speaker 1: to say they were good people on both sides of
Speaker 1: that debate, but he was in artful, he was imprecise,
Speaker 1: and they pounced, and all of a sudden it was, Oh, yeah, Trump.
Speaker 1: No one really thinks that Trump likes the tiki torch losers.
Speaker 1: No one really. I mean maybe some people believe that,
Speaker 1: but no rational person thinks that. But that's what they
Speaker 1: want to tell you. They want you to focus on
Speaker 1: on this. Ah, he's a racist. Ah, he's so, he's
Speaker 1: so terrible. Meanwhile, we have real problems in this country
Speaker 1: that the president should be focused on that we should
Speaker 1: be addressing. Not that are that are tweet based, but
Speaker 1: that affect the future of these United States, and really
Speaker 1: are this is a problem. It's only going to get
Speaker 1: much worse than that. Is what's going on at our
Speaker 1: at our southern border. Right now. We have a president
Speaker 1: that we believe it would be better than his predecessors
Speaker 1: are dealing with this. Maybe you could say that he
Speaker 1: has kicked over the rock to see what's underneath, and
Speaker 1: it's a lot more treacherous than he had realized in
Speaker 1: terms of the loopoles and the just inefficient system and
Speaker 1: the judges and the whole bureaucracy set against him. But
Speaker 1: this is not going the way that it should. And
Speaker 1: Trump is saying, look, we're going to have to find
Speaker 1: ways to get people to be more cooperative here. Foreign
Speaker 1: governments need to be more cooperative. That's work today. He said, Look,
Speaker 1: we're you know, Honduras and Guatemala. I think it was
Speaker 1: in Guatemala. They just had some Supreme court decision that
Speaker 1: in their Supreme Court that said that they can't they
Speaker 1: can't take in the refugees from Honduras and El Salvador
Speaker 1: or something. It's very convenient the Supreme Court comes up
Speaker 1: with that decision. Why can't they exactly some law that
Speaker 1: we've got. But I think that putting pressure on those
Speaker 1: countries to do more about their migration problems or their
Speaker 1: migration problem for US is important. And Trump spoke about
Speaker 1: that as well, that you know, I do want to
Speaker 1: focus on the policy. I do want to get into
Speaker 1: what matters. But instead they just want to make this
Speaker 1: a big conversation about racism. Racism all the time. That's
Speaker 1: what they want to talk about. Here's what Trump said
Speaker 1: about Honduras and Guatemala. Let's talk about that. Twenty three
Speaker 1: we don't give them any more money. They've been ripping
Speaker 1: us off for years. I'm not a fan. So until
Speaker 1: they shape up, we were giving them hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars like fools for years, and all they did
Speaker 1: is send us up a lot of people, caused a
Speaker 1: lot of problems, and a lot of the people in
Speaker 1: those caravans were criminals, hardened criminals, dangerous people. And why
Speaker 1: not Why would Honduras or Guatemala or else Salvador, why
Speaker 1: would they keep their criminals when you can put them
Speaker 1: into the caravan, lose them in a caravan and send
Speaker 1: them up to the United States. We take everybody because
Speaker 1: the Democrats don't allow immigration laws that mean anything. It's horrible.
Speaker 1: You will all recall, I believe what was it the
Speaker 1: Muriel Muriel boat lift situation with Cuba where we decided
Speaker 1: to open up for a period of time to Cuban
Speaker 1: refugees and Castro to spite us emptied out the prisons.
Speaker 1: Does anyone think that al Salvador and Honduras are you know,
Speaker 1: the people that are fleeing those countries are those who
Speaker 1: are most likely to contribute meaningfully to the US economy,
Speaker 1: to be the most productive possible. Now you can say box,
Speaker 1: that's not we can't think about that. That is what
Speaker 1: our immigration system does. It makes these judgments, It makes
Speaker 1: these decisions all the time. So can we talk about
Speaker 1: it or not? Are we allowed to discuss the system
Speaker 1: we have or do we have to pretend that there
Speaker 1: is no system. There's just whoever seems the nicest to us.
Speaker 1: We just want to be the nice people. We don't
Speaker 1: want to do anything that makes anyone feel bad. Cutting
Speaker 1: off money to Guando, Guatemalan, Honduras is one step. It's
Speaker 1: not going to solve the problem, but it's another step
Speaker 1: toward stopping what is happening at our southern border from
Speaker 1: continuing on. I do think that the administration understands the
Speaker 1: scope of the problem, and they have at least showed
Speaker 1: us how extreme And this is one of the great
Speaker 1: gifts of the Trump administration, as these shows us just
Speaker 1: how crazy the left really is. They've gone full on
Speaker 1: open borders, and they want to make crossing illegally no
Speaker 1: longer illegal. They don't want anyone to be deported, they
Speaker 1: want sanctuary cities across the country. They don't speak out
Speaker 1: against the horrible things that members of Congress say about
Speaker 1: ice and border patrol. They've shown us who they really are,
Speaker 1: and it's quite honestly frightening as an American. The Democratic
Speaker 1: Party is frightening on immigration, frightening because of the lies
Speaker 1: they tell, because of the dishonesty around their positions across
Speaker 1: the board, because of the delusions under which they operate.
Speaker 1: They're scary, and yet we have to find a way
Speaker 1: to do something with them through them in the future
Speaker 1: in order get gyting done. Trump is saying, now we're
Speaker 1: going to need what sixty senators and control the House
Speaker 1: to get anything done. And even then I worry about
Speaker 1: some Republicans not having enough of a spine to do
Speaker 1: what is necessary here. But Trump's saying, look, the people
Speaker 1: that are coming from Central America are not necessarily the
Speaker 1: people that we would want to bring into this country
Speaker 1: throw our immigration system. And that's why he talks about
Speaker 1: MS thirteen. And you might say, well, buck, but that's
Speaker 1: only a small percentage, okay, But we're allowed to not
Speaker 1: want the small percentage of MS thirteen members to come
Speaker 1: into the country too. This is supposed to be what's
Speaker 1: in the best interest of the American people. It is
Speaker 1: not supposed to be whatever makes news anchors at night
Speaker 1: on CNN feel like they're really really virtuous. But that's
Speaker 1: the driving thought process. That and of course control of
Speaker 1: the government, and control of essentially making America a single
Speaker 1: party a single party state where the Democratic Party is
Speaker 1: in power and there's a enfeebled and largely irrelevant but
Speaker 1: pro form a Republican opposition that never gets a majority anywhere.
Speaker 1: That's what they're looking for, and that's what's in play
Speaker 1: right now. How many elections you think we're gonna win
Speaker 1: if you have an amnesty of twenty million illegals? Just
Speaker 1: just do the math real quick in your head. How
Speaker 1: many elections you think? How many more states will flip
Speaker 1: blue from red if there's an amnesty? And what does
Speaker 1: a continued open borders status at our southern border do
Speaker 1: in terms of the pressures the political pressures for an amnesty.
Speaker 1: This is all obvious if you just work it out
Speaker 1: step by step in your head. The Democrats have done
Speaker 1: that work. They know, and that's why they don't care.
Speaker 1: They'll say anything. They'll say anything here Trump is taking actions.
Speaker 1: We'll see if that's enough. You know, there's one thing
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about when we come back,
Speaker 1: and maybe there's not a lot of focus on this.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. There should be a
Speaker 1: lot more. We're spending too much money, folks, twenty two
Speaker 1: soon to be twenty three trillion in debt. We are
Speaker 1: spending too much money. We used to care about this.
Speaker 1: Can just do me a favor. Let me spend a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes of time with you when we come
Speaker 1: back addressing this problem. I'll feel better. I'll sleep more
Speaker 1: safely and warmly at night tonight if I can just
Speaker 1: tell you about what's good because this is something that
Speaker 1: the Republicans have to own. Two, we have to take
Speaker 1: some blame. I was gonna say, some control, some blame
Speaker 1: for what's happening here. And then we'll get more into this.
Speaker 1: This fight with Trump in the squad and everything. It's
Speaker 1: just consuming all the oxygen in the in the room today,
Speaker 1: all the new cycle about this stuff. So we'll work
Speaker 1: through some of that. And then we got Turkey buying
Speaker 1: a Russian missile system that looks like Turkey's taking a
Speaker 1: step away from NATO, A big step away from NATO.
Speaker 1: I'm more like a leap got that got the BBC
Speaker 1: doing shady stuff with Iran to get access. I got all.
Speaker 1: I got all kinds of show for you, So stay around.
Speaker 1: If you're elected president of the United States, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to go to Capitol Hill and sell this Vice
Speaker 1: President Biden instead. His plan would cost seven hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars over ten years. If you're talking to
Speaker 1: a lawmaker January twenty twenty one, and they say, Senator,
Speaker 1: give me a number Medicare for all, an approximate number,
Speaker 1: how much would it cost somewhere between thirty and forty
Speaker 1: over a ten year period, I'm what, thirty and forty
Speaker 1: trillion between friends, thirty and forty trillion, one hundred trillion,
Speaker 1: a jillion, a google plex zillion. It's all funny money.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. We're just printing it. We don't even
Speaker 1: print it. It's just numbers on a screen. Make the
Speaker 1: numbers big up, boom done. Yeah, there's problems with that, folks.
Speaker 1: There are problems with our current fiscal trajectory. The White
Speaker 1: House is part of the problem right now. I know
Speaker 1: nobody wants to hear it. I know, don't don't touch
Speaker 1: that dial, because I'm telling you the truth. The White
Speaker 1: House is projecting a federal deficit of over a trillion
Speaker 1: dollars this year. That has only happened previously under the
Speaker 1: Poma administration. It has never been that high before then
Speaker 1: in our country's history. Okay, a trillion dollars plus deficit
Speaker 1: for the year. This isn't sustainable. I know, we know.
Speaker 1: I came into politics and media at the during the
Speaker 1: rise of the Tea Party, and I remember all the arguments,
Speaker 1: and I remember people that really earnestly were concerned about
Speaker 1: the future of this country, about the death that future
Speaker 1: generations would be saddled with. And right now there are
Speaker 1: a lot of things you can look at that could
Speaker 1: be the triggers for a serious financial meltdown. And by
Speaker 1: the way, if there's a financial meltdown, you know who's
Speaker 1: going to be in power when when the dust settles.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be the people that are talking
Speaker 1: about entrepreneurship and individual liberty and free markets. It's going
Speaker 1: to be people who say, we'll pay for your healthcare,
Speaker 1: We'll give you lots of free stuff. It's the rich
Speaker 1: fat catch that caused all the problems. What could trigger this, Well,
Speaker 1: people say, what about interest rates rising? Yeah, that could
Speaker 1: happen it's going to happen at some point point starts
Speaker 1: to crowd out private investment just because we have to
Speaker 1: pay a greater interest pay off the interest on our debt.
Speaker 1: But it could be. I mean, you got a trillion
Speaker 1: dollar plus student loan bubble, was at one point six trillion,
Speaker 1: now trillion dollars plus student loan bubble. You've got a
Speaker 1: trillion dollars subprime auto market right now, we've got a
Speaker 1: you know, the corporate debt, junk bond. Corporate debt is enormous,
Speaker 1: and there's a whole bunch of things that if one
Speaker 1: and it's just it just tumbles. The whole house of
Speaker 1: cards comes tumbling down. You just pull one out. Then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, people get scared counterparty risk, and
Speaker 1: a couple of banks fail and boom. Now the market's
Speaker 1: down twenty thirty percent. And guess what. They all blame Trump,
Speaker 1: They all blame the people that have been pushing for deregulation.
Speaker 1: And it's it's gonna be two thousand and eight all
Speaker 1: over again. We used to care about this, my friends.
Speaker 1: We used to care about spending too much money from
Speaker 1: via government. I think we still should care because the
Speaker 1: math says we should care, and this is there's a
Speaker 1: lot of reason to believe that this exacerbates I mean,
Speaker 1: the whole quantitative easing program. It just inflates those with
Speaker 1: assets and inflates their balance sheets. If you own real estate,
Speaker 1: if you own a lot of stock, it's great. If
Speaker 1: you're the other eighty percent of America that doesn't have
Speaker 1: those kinds of assets, guess what your dollars are worthless.
Speaker 1: I mean, they keep saying inflation is almost non existent.
Speaker 1: That's that's because the way they measure inflation is inaccurate.
Speaker 1: Things are getting more expensive for those who are laborers
Speaker 1: who work for their money day in, day out, for
Speaker 1: hours at a time, instead of people that are making
Speaker 1: big salaries and have a lot of passive income. It's
Speaker 1: getting more expensive. Things are more expensive. So when they
Speaker 1: talk about inflation, well, guess what. Your healthcare is more expensive,
Speaker 1: your food is more expensive, and your housing is more expensive.
Speaker 1: They can say that there's no real inflation, or it's
Speaker 1: one percent or two percent or whatever that the Fed
Speaker 1: target is, but they're living in a fantasy land. You
Speaker 1: know this is happening under Trump. We used to care
Speaker 1: about this. We can say we don't care anymore. But
Speaker 1: let's at least be honest about that, because a trillion
Speaker 1: dollars one year deficit, more than a trillion dollars is
Speaker 1: too much money. All right, that was eating your piece
Speaker 1: for the day. Team, We'll come back, Let's get back
Speaker 1: into the squad fight, and I won't tell you about
Speaker 1: how the economy is going to melt down, hopefully not
Speaker 1: under Trump. We've heard facilities on the US border called
Speaker 1: concentration camps. We've seen the far left throw accusations of
Speaker 1: racism and everyone anyone who disagrees with them on anything,
Speaker 1: including the Speaker of the House. We've seen a freshman
Speaker 1: Democratic congresswoman use anti Semitic tropes and imply people only
Speaker 1: support Israel because of campaign contributions. The most vile accusations
Speaker 1: and insults against our nation have become incredibly routine, and
Speaker 1: we've seen back and forth of the past few days.
Speaker 1: I like Mitch McConnell on this subject. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I think Mitch's Mitch is right on target, and he
Speaker 1: just keeps on putting those judges through. Said, don't think
Speaker 1: that Mitch doesn't doesn't do some good things for the cause.
Speaker 1: Mitch certainly does. But I like where Mitch McConnell is
Speaker 1: on this, He saying, look, you know, and this is
Speaker 1: my feeling too. I'm just not going to be lectured
Speaker 1: on decorum and proper, proper rules of the road for
Speaker 1: discussion debate by the same people who call our border
Speaker 1: facilities concentration camps and just run around screaming about how
Speaker 1: everyone's racist all the time. And we'll use terms in
Speaker 1: a really condescending, rude, belittling manner, like white privilege. Oh
Speaker 1: you must you know, have you had some success in
Speaker 1: life that's because of your white privilege. They'll throw that
Speaker 1: around like there's no problem. Oh yeah, that's fine. You
Speaker 1: didn't learn that you got white privilege. That's quite a
Speaker 1: thing to quantify, really, because I know I know a
Speaker 1: lot of white people that would have the same white
Speaker 1: privilege I do, and they've made very different choices and
Speaker 1: led very different lives. So I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: all just my privilege that gets me everything right. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you feel the same way. Life is hard for everybody.
Speaker 1: We all have challenges, we all have pain and disappointment.
Speaker 1: But the group identity obsession of the left, it eradicates
Speaker 1: that it says, No, whatever you are isn't what you
Speaker 1: think you are. You are not a compilation of your choices,
Speaker 1: of your decisions, of your honor and your integrity and
Speaker 1: your decency. That's not who you are. You're whatever they
Speaker 1: say you are are based on their version of events
Speaker 1: today and events proceeding today, the history as well as
Speaker 1: the present of the inequality that they are so obsessed with.
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell's right, they have normalized the squad and the
Speaker 1: Democratic parties normalized the most horrific stuff. I'm sorry, no
Speaker 1: one ever what. Oh the big slur against Obama from
Speaker 1: the right that was that was used a lot was
Speaker 1: that he was kind of a socialist. Now the Democrats
Speaker 1: are openly socialist, so you know what was was that unfair? No,
Speaker 1: they just didn't like the residence that had had because
Speaker 1: people said, yeah, I'm an Obama's kind of pushing us
Speaker 1: towards socialism. That's what he was doing. But nobody, nobody
Speaker 1: was calling Obama. I mean when I say nobody, of course,
Speaker 1: there's always some moron somewhere that thinks that, you know,
Speaker 1: Obama was actually a space alien sent here to take
Speaker 1: over the world. I mean, there's idiots of all kinds.
Speaker 1: There's racist, there's morons. But the main thrust of criticism
Speaker 1: of Obama didn't involve things like saying he was a trader.
Speaker 1: You know. They weren't saying that he had been bought
Speaker 1: by a foreign country, a Manchurian candidate to run this
Speaker 1: country for wherever. People weren't saying he was crazy, weren't
Speaker 1: saying he was a rapist. That's stuff that's said about Trump,
Speaker 1: and people as are will bucklers because it's true. No,
Speaker 1: it's not, And anyone who thinks that's true is an idiot.
Speaker 1: All right, Trump is not a rapist. He's never you know,
Speaker 1: if he had assaulted all these women all this time
Speaker 1: that have come forward and said, and by the way,
Speaker 1: what's the big story that we're supposed to believe? It's
Speaker 1: not Eegene Carol that blew up in their faces. So well,
Speaker 1: what's the story of Trump sexually assaulting somebody that we're
Speaker 1: what's the name? What's the story? We'll keep hearing, Oh,
Speaker 1: a dozen women have come forward with what And then
Speaker 1: when you dig into it's, oh, Trump, you know, tried
Speaker 1: to kiss one once or you know, made a pass
Speaker 1: it one aggressively once. I mean, you know, that doesn't
Speaker 1: make him a rapist, folks. It just makes him a
Speaker 1: guy who thinks that ladies like him a little more
Speaker 1: than maybe some of them do, unless he forced himself
Speaker 1: on somebody and really committed a crime. And there's nothing
Speaker 1: even to talk about here. But they say the most
Speaker 1: horrible things about the president the United States, and they
Speaker 1: do it as a part of trying to say that
Speaker 1: you and I are immoral as well because we support this,
Speaker 1: because we're okay, because we voted for Trump, because we'd
Speaker 1: vote for a let's be clear, a treasonist, crazy, racist, rapist.
Speaker 1: That's what they say about the presi United States. They
Speaker 1: say it routinely like it's nothing. They say it in
Speaker 1: front of members of his family, they say it on TV,
Speaker 1: they say it from the biggest megaphones, the biggest microphones
Speaker 1: in the country. They don't give it a second thought.
Speaker 1: And now they want to tell us, oh, but Trump
Speaker 1: is so these are this mean tweet and it wasn't
Speaker 1: really true. A blunder, Yeah, a life changing, perception altering
Speaker 1: moment for all of us that have flects are absolutely
Speaker 1: not I know what Trump's saying is this squad of
Speaker 1: squabbling democrats is full of anti Americanism, saying horrific things
Speaker 1: about a lot of very good people that are doing
Speaker 1: hard work on our border. And remember they did this
Speaker 1: with cops too. I remember the Black Lives Matter thing.
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter was a demonization of cops movement, and
Speaker 1: that was a primary, a primary purpose of the movement.
Speaker 1: I was at the rallies. I wish you could have
Speaker 1: see it. I debated Van Jones on this on CNN
Speaker 1: on Wolf Blitzer Show. You know, Wolf Flitzer Show never
Speaker 1: had me back after that because Van tried to pull
Speaker 1: the well, that's not true. They don't say that, and
Speaker 1: I was there. No, Actually, I have a video and
Speaker 1: photos that is exactly what they say about cops. They
Speaker 1: do call cops murderers, they do call cops racist routinely.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I wasn't ready for that one. And Van
Speaker 1: is one of the I'll be honest, he's one of
Speaker 1: the smarter and more interesting scene end contributors. So there's
Speaker 1: you know, he's a lot smarter than Anna Navarro. But
Speaker 1: they didn't want to have an honest discussion about Black
Speaker 1: Lives matter of the Obama administration. And people don't want
Speaker 1: to have an hon discussion, but immigration and board enforcement.
Speaker 1: Now they're demonizing law enforce and throwing them under the bus.
Speaker 1: And that's why their whole hero worship of Komey and
Speaker 1: the FBI and the hero it's so transparent, it's just whatever.
Speaker 1: It's all about utility for their cause at any point
Speaker 1: in time, that's all that really matters. Now. I like
Speaker 1: what McConnell said, could could Trump maybe focus in a
Speaker 1: little more and not not, you know, put himself in
Speaker 1: a position where he has to play a little bit
Speaker 1: of defense here. And remember Trump doesn't really play defense.
Speaker 1: He just plays. He just plays offense with a hand
Speaker 1: tied behind his back. You know, he doesn't really believe,
Speaker 1: I think, in defense. But Liz Cheney, and she's really
Speaker 1: responding here to the comments of Pressley that if you
Speaker 1: don't I can't remember the exact words. That's basically, if
Speaker 1: you're if you're a Hispanic face, but don't want to
Speaker 1: be a Hispanic voice, if you're a black face, but
Speaker 1: don't want to be a black voice who determines whose
Speaker 1: voice is legitimate the left, that's that's quite a that's
Speaker 1: quite an arrogant and I do think people would say
Speaker 1: a racist claim if if you have a certain skin color,
Speaker 1: you must say certain things or else you don't get
Speaker 1: to speak for people of that skin color anymore. I
Speaker 1: think that that sounds like kind of textbook racism, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: And Cheney, Liz Cheney, that is not have to not
Speaker 1: Dick and Dick Cheney never really sad like him. I
Speaker 1: know that the John Stewart impersonation of Dick Cheney Jane's
Speaker 1: at the one time, or maybe once or twice I
Speaker 1: met him. He is a very charming guy. I liked him. Um.
Speaker 1: But Liz Cheney's daughter, she's going after what's really problematic here,
Speaker 1: which is the anti the anti Americanism, and the vitriol
Speaker 1: and the nasty and the lies that are at the
Speaker 1: heart of this squad's opposition, not just a Trump, but
Speaker 1: to a lot of things. Americana Play eighteen. Our opposition
Speaker 1: to our colleagues beliefs has absolutely nothing to do with race,
Speaker 1: or gender or religion. We oppose them and their policies
Speaker 1: because their policies are dangerous and wrong and would destroy America.
Speaker 1: The issue here is the content of their policies, and
Speaker 1: we will continue to stand up and fight against what
Speaker 1: we know is wrong for this nation. Absolutely. It is
Speaker 1: about their policies, you know, does anyone Look, I know
Speaker 1: so many conservatives, and I spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: talking to my fellow conservatives about whole, a whole slew
Speaker 1: of things, and you know, political and otherwise. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but I do not know a single conservative that is
Speaker 1: any more critical of let's say, you know, AOC's version
Speaker 1: of a Green New Deal than they are of Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Warren's collectivist stupidity or Al Gore's climate change lunacy. We
Speaker 1: don't like their ideas. We don't care what their skin
Speaker 1: color is, we don't care what their ethnicity is. We
Speaker 1: just don't like their ideas. But they always want to
Speaker 1: make it when they can about skin color. Try to
Speaker 1: throw that into the into the situation, throw that into
Speaker 1: the mix, force that into the conversation, because then it
Speaker 1: puts people who are trying to have an honest, adult
Speaker 1: discussion on the defensive. Oh I don't I don't want
Speaker 1: to be. I don't want them to call me racist.
Speaker 1: I got newsure. They're gonna call everybody racist. They were
Speaker 1: calling Pelosi racist a week ago. This is a learned
Speaker 1: behavior because they get away with the left gets away
Speaker 1: with this a lot. They will just you know, throw
Speaker 1: out an accusation of racism, even if it's just the
Speaker 1: most frivolous, baseless thing, imagine, still will have some impact.
Speaker 1: It might work really well. So that's why Liz Cheney,
Speaker 1: who as we know, is a LGBT congresswoman who is
Speaker 1: a Republican, but she is she is same sex in
Speaker 1: her she has I believe a has a same sex partner.
Speaker 1: She's married. Here's what she says about this. It's all
Speaker 1: about why they're wrong, not who they are when talking
Speaker 1: about the squad, and I think that this is right
Speaker 1: on target place. Seventeen socialist colleagues on the other side
Speaker 1: of the aisle are wrong when they advocate abortion up
Speaker 1: until the moment of birth, including partial birth abortion, late
Speaker 1: term abortion, and when they refuse to mandate care for
Speaker 1: babies who are born alive. Our colleagues are wrong when
Speaker 1: they say that we should open America's borders, abolish ice,
Speaker 1: and abolish DHS. They're wrong when they advocate policies that
Speaker 1: would eliminate all private health insurance in this country, destroy Medicare,
Speaker 1: and force the American people to pay for free healthcare
Speaker 1: for illegal immigrants. Yep, wrong, wrong and wrong, wrong on policy,
Speaker 1: and also I think just wrong on facts, wrong on ethics,
Speaker 1: wrong on everything. But these are the most prominitive voices
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party. You know, you never hear about
Speaker 1: nice centrist Democrat congressmen or congresswomen from you know, purple
Speaker 1: states that have some ideas. Oh, that's not to get
Speaker 1: the attention. It's the radical socialist the Democratic Party to
Speaker 1: get all the attention. Why because this is really where
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is. It is the socialist party. Now.
Speaker 1: I mean they you can say, oh about that's not true.
Speaker 1: They're not socialists. They don't want to seize the means
Speaker 1: of production and control the redistribution of wealth. Actually they do.
Speaker 1: They just don't like the term socialism because then they
Speaker 1: have to carry with it the baggage of all these others.
Speaker 1: So that's why they have this this modifier of democratic socialism.
Speaker 1: But the Democratic Party, he is the socialist party of America.
Speaker 1: Now there's a really very little difference between what the
Speaker 1: Democratic Socialists of America have been arguing for for a
Speaker 1: long time and what Democrats and the Democrat Party want now.
Speaker 1: Peace four women are distinctive for one important reason. I
Speaker 1: want America to know they're the only four Democrats to
Speaker 1: vote against any form of humanitarian aid at the border
Speaker 1: when that vote was taken two weeks ago. They have
Speaker 1: no moral authority to ever talk about the border and
Speaker 1: the kids and the humanitarian crisis there. Yeah, someone should
Speaker 1: just keep hammering that point. Mckelly and Conway. She's smooth,
Speaker 1: She's a smooth operator. She knows it's true. They like
Speaker 1: to talk about how much they care about the kids
Speaker 1: and cages at the border, but when it came time
Speaker 1: to help fund those kids at the border, guess what,
Speaker 1: they voted against it because it was more important for
Speaker 1: them to differentiate themselves from the rest of the group,
Speaker 1: to grandstand, to get more media attention, to be the
Speaker 1: the Jacobins, if you will, of the Democratic Party, to
Speaker 1: be the hardcore left, the revolutionary fringe that is increasingly
Speaker 1: not on the outskirts, but pushing toward the center of
Speaker 1: party power, and whatever they have to do to get there,
Speaker 1: whatever they have to say. It seems to me they
Speaker 1: are willing to say. Representative Jayapal waited on this one
Speaker 1: talking about how or why Trump says the things that
Speaker 1: he says play ten the impact of his words are
Speaker 1: deeply felt across the country, and they're also felt by
Speaker 1: people who remember their own connections to their immigrant histories.
Speaker 1: And so this is a racist, vile, xenophobic ploy to
Speaker 1: speak to I think a small part of his base,
Speaker 1: but this has been his playbook all along, personalized attack.
Speaker 1: And now he's even saying if you descend that somehow,
Speaker 1: you should go back to your country. If you criticize
Speaker 1: the country. I think descent is patriotic. I think descent
Speaker 1: is yeah, we always do this from Democrats. Sure, descent
Speaker 1: until until you have a Democrat in office. Then descent
Speaker 1: is totally unpatriotic. And we all know that's how they
Speaker 1: play the game. I'm gonna tell you what I think
Speaker 1: Trump did here or what was motivating him. I think
Speaker 1: that he and a lot of Americans understand this intuitively
Speaker 1: get this. I think that he really loves this country
Speaker 1: and is proud of this country and does not seek
Speaker 1: to fundamentally transform it. Doesn't think that it's soaked in
Speaker 1: racism and evil and all these bad things from the past.
Speaker 1: I think things is a pretty darn good place, the
Speaker 1: best place. And when he sees elected members of the
Speaker 1: federal government running it into the ground, dumping all over it,
Speaker 1: treating it like it should be completely broken down and
Speaker 1: rebuilt from the ground up. I think that he reacts
Speaker 1: to that as a person more than a politician. I
Speaker 1: think Trump just is sick of this stuff. And we've had,
Speaker 1: you know, we've had the the Romneyite Bush approach to
Speaker 1: the left of Oh, they can be crazy, but we'll
Speaker 1: just keep on, you know, speaking like we're at the
Speaker 1: country club, and I'm sorry, it doesn't work. We do
Speaker 1: want someone on our side who's willing to say, you
Speaker 1: know what, stop dumping all over America all the time.
Speaker 1: This is gross. You're lucky to be here anyone who
Speaker 1: is here, not just people that have have been recent
Speaker 1: arrivals or the sons or daughters of immigrants. Everybody here
Speaker 1: is lucky to be here. And if someone doesn't feel
Speaker 1: that way, then yeah, I do think there's some questions,
Speaker 1: Well then why are you staying here? You're lucky to
Speaker 1: be in this country. I mean every you know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be doing some international travel in a few days.
Speaker 1: We'll have a couple of guests hosts in on Thursday
Speaker 1: and Friday, and I'll be going to other countries, and
Speaker 1: you know, one thing I love the international travel is
Speaker 1: that feeling when I come back the US of A.
Speaker 1: I think this is amazing, and it's it's pretty much
Speaker 1: every time I go away. The only the only exception
Speaker 1: is when I go to a beautiful beach somewhere, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't even really count because it's something I love
Speaker 1: that country so much. I just like that beach that
Speaker 1: I didn't leave for a few days, drinking margaritas until
Speaker 1: I got silly. You know. That's it. But every time
Speaker 1: I spend in an every time I go to another
Speaker 1: country and really have to be there. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: they don't have a good time and it's not interesting everything,
Speaker 1: But I come back to this country and I always,
Speaker 1: ever without feel. I have this feeling of this place,
Speaker 1: this America that we live in is amazing. And I
Speaker 1: think that Trump just reacted. I don't think it was
Speaker 1: a political calculation at all. I think that it bothers him.
Speaker 1: I think it ticks him off when people, especially powerful
Speaker 1: people with a big megaphone, degrade this place because we're
Speaker 1: all lucky to be here. I will always prefer to
Speaker 1: him as the occupant, as he is only occupying space.
Speaker 1: This is a president who has openly violated the very
Speaker 1: value our country aspires to upwood equality under the law,
Speaker 1: religious liberty, equal protection, and protection from persecution. Since tweets
Speaker 1: and words from the President are simply a continuation of
Speaker 1: his racist is xenophobic playbook, we cannot allow these hateful
Speaker 1: actions by the President to distract us from the critical
Speaker 1: work to hold US administration accountable to the inconvening conditions
Speaker 1: at the border. So the first note that I want
Speaker 1: to tell children across this country is that no matter
Speaker 1: what the President says, this country belongs to you. Well,
Speaker 1: there you have it. The squad as they are called,
Speaker 1: holding their press conference late late last evening, I think
Speaker 1: it was where they were going after the Trumpster obviously
Speaker 1: very disrespectful to the President, but we knew that would
Speaker 1: be the case. And you notice how the entire media
Speaker 1: apparatus has shifted from Trump as a trader who worked
Speaker 1: with the Russians, whoops, can't keep that law going anymo.
Speaker 1: Now Trump is a racist. And they always say that
Speaker 1: they'd like to play this game where the last people
Speaker 1: you know is what Trump said racist? Is he a racist?
Speaker 1: Here's how I would like to start to have people
Speaker 1: answer this under the rules of the game as the
Speaker 1: Left sets them up. Is what Trump said racist? Well, sure,
Speaker 1: of course, because anything that can be construed as racist. Anything.
Speaker 1: If you can make a case, according to left that
Speaker 1: something is racist, it is racist. Just the ability to
Speaker 1: make a case that it's racist means that it's racist.
Speaker 1: That's the level of sensitivity that we're all supposed to
Speaker 1: be operating under. I refuse to play that game. When
Speaker 1: someone is asking me if something is racist, I want
Speaker 1: to know, Okay, is a person making a value judgment
Speaker 1: about the worth, decency, integrity, merit about a human being
Speaker 1: based upon that person's skin color? And is that the
Speaker 1: way that person who is making the judgment feels about
Speaker 1: people of that skin color or ethnicity? Do you know
Speaker 1: racism is really do you judge people by their skin
Speaker 1: color or not? Do you see somebody with a certain
Speaker 1: skin color and you think less of or more of
Speaker 1: perhaps that person? That's racism. Do I believe that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is a racist? I absolutely do not. Do I
Speaker 1: think that Donald Trump refuses to speak about things in
Speaker 1: a politically correct fashion, yeah? Do I think that means
Speaker 1: he's going to say things that upsets leftists who want
Speaker 1: us all walking on egg shows all the time. Absolutely
Speaker 1: do a lot of us feel like we've had enough
Speaker 1: of being told what is acceptable for us to say
Speaker 1: by people who have no good faith about the exchange,
Speaker 1: don't want to hear what we really think, don't want
Speaker 1: to hear what we have to say, just want us
Speaker 1: all to be silent. I mean, this squad that has
Speaker 1: come together here of Pressley and to leave an Omar
Speaker 1: and AOC, they represent the hard left of the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: identity politics based, anti American, pro socialist and just woke
Speaker 1: to the the you know, the complete degree of wokeness,
Speaker 1: whatever that would be. They're super woke and they have
Speaker 1: a lot of baggage. They bring a lot with them
Speaker 1: that I think the American people, the more they're exposed
Speaker 1: to it, aren't on board for at all. You know,
Speaker 1: Omar Omar is probably the one with who I think
Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to They're going to regret the
Speaker 1: day that they decided that they would all be defending
Speaker 1: and holding a rop and acting like she's some very
Speaker 1: important voice for the future. Here is here's what she
Speaker 1: said when she was asked about whether she would condemn
Speaker 1: al Qaeda, which you know she hasn't she I'm sure
Speaker 1: she would say that she can dems al Qaida's tactics,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure that she would have some way
Speaker 1: of saying but does she does she think that al
Speaker 1: Qaida was a mortal threat to the United States and
Speaker 1: that what we did to rout them out, to to eliminate,
Speaker 1: to take off the battlefield, to kill al Qaeda in
Speaker 1: large numbers, which is what we did for years, and
Speaker 1: many of you listening were part of that effort. So
Speaker 1: I think that Omar really would would support that. Would
Speaker 1: she even cheer that on? No, I'm sure she thinks
Speaker 1: that al Qaida at some level is a response to
Speaker 1: American imperialism. I'm sure she thinks that. She probably would
Speaker 1: say it if you asked her. It just depends on
Speaker 1: how you asked her. Who did the asking. You That
Speaker 1: al Qaida was supported by the US at one point,
Speaker 1: This is always a story, you hear, right, because we
Speaker 1: helped the Mujahadeen against the Soviets, and because Bin Laden
Speaker 1: joined the Mujahadeen. At one point, we we created al Kaieda.
Speaker 1: They'll say, I mean, this is this is idiocy, but
Speaker 1: it's out there all the time. Omar was asked do
Speaker 1: you condemn al Qaida. Here's what she said, play too
Speaker 1: more in particular, but to all of you, can you
Speaker 1: respond to some of the president's specific claims, most notably
Speaker 1: that you're a communist and that you're pro Altida When
Speaker 1: he made the comment, I know that every single Muslim
Speaker 1: who has lived in this country and across the world
Speaker 1: has heard that comment, and so I will not dignify
Speaker 1: it with an answer, because I know that every single
Speaker 1: islam a fop, every single person who is hateful, who
Speaker 1: is driven by an ideology of othering as this president is,
Speaker 1: rejoices in US responding to that, and so I think
Speaker 1: it is beyond time to ask Muslims to condemn terrorists.
Speaker 1: We are no longer going to allow the dignification of
Speaker 1: much ridiculous, ridiculous a statement. Meanwhile, a different set of
Speaker 1: rules for Republicans, for conservatives, for white males who are Republicans,
Speaker 1: are conservatives. Do you support David Duke? How many times
Speaker 1: did you hear about David Duke when it's not time
Speaker 1: for a Republican to run for president? You never hear
Speaker 1: you never hear about this gut The guy's a loser.
Speaker 1: Nobody you know, nobody cares. He's a he's a bad
Speaker 1: dude with bad ideas who has no influence, and everybody
Speaker 1: just wishes would go away. But whenever it's time for
Speaker 1: Republican Toronto, did you condemn? Remember what a big thing
Speaker 1: they made over Trump with with you know, what do
Speaker 1: you think of David Duke's endorsement or something? And all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's you know, they just do that
Speaker 1: to slime people, to slim them, because even this is
Speaker 1: the when did you stop beating your wife question that
Speaker 1: liberals get away with every election cycle, and they do
Speaker 1: it on the big Sunday shows. All the propaganda, all
Speaker 1: the crap they're peddling out of those Sunday shows set
Speaker 1: the tune in Washington. Most of those guys are jokes,
Speaker 1: by the way, who have those shows. They couldn't debate
Speaker 1: their way out of a paperbag. They don't know anything
Speaker 1: about anything. They're just trying to look fancy for their
Speaker 1: corporate overlords and the people that they're going to go
Speaker 1: hang out with in the country club at Chevy Chase
Speaker 1: after hours. I mean, that's that's it. They really really
Speaker 1: have have no integrity in what they're doing, and in
Speaker 1: that whole process of setting the conversation for the week.
Speaker 1: But anyway, but back to you know, back to this
Speaker 1: game of when you condemn and when you don't condemn?
Speaker 1: So she won't How easy is it? Or maybe better question,
Speaker 1: how hard is it to condemn All Kaida? Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course al Kaida is terrible, and you could and
Speaker 1: then if she wanted to say that's a stupid question,
Speaker 1: I'd say, all right, that's that's an okay. But no,
Speaker 1: instead she she won't condemn it. Now I don't like
Speaker 1: this will you condemn? Will you condemn? Game? In general?
Speaker 1: But let's just understand the Republicans, this all that, you know,
Speaker 1: will you condemn this white nationalist? Well, yeah, white nationalists
Speaker 1: like the guys with the tiki torches and trials. These
Speaker 1: people are losers. They have no constituency, they have no power,
Speaker 1: they have no cultural residence to losers, So why should
Speaker 1: I have to condemn I have nothing to do with them,
Speaker 1: never had anything to do with them. Why should ANT
Speaker 1: even have to condemn them? Oh? Will will you condemn them? All? Okay? Fine,
Speaker 1: you see this. So and so had to condemn white nationalists,
Speaker 1: probably because he's kind of close to the white nationalists.
Speaker 1: That's what they do. They're always trying to attach the
Speaker 1: spirit to people. But the good news for us is
Speaker 1: that omar Is also has problems with facts, has problems
Speaker 1: with dealing in reality, which is not surprising to anything,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. And she said, for example, well, here let's
Speaker 1: hear it from her play. This is all from the
Speaker 1: press conference of the squad play four. This president who
Speaker 1: has been credibly accused of committing multiple crimes, including coluding
Speaker 1: with foreign government to interfere with our election. This is
Speaker 1: a president who has overseen the most corrupt administration in
Speaker 1: our history and pursued an agenda to allow millions of
Speaker 1: Americans to die from a lack of healthcare while he
Speaker 1: transfers millions of dollars in tax cuts to corporations. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is lunacy. He's quote, pursuing an agenda to allow
Speaker 1: millions of Americans to die from a lack of healthcare. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what Trump wants millions of people to die. Aren't
Speaker 1: you just seeing people dying in the streets because they
Speaker 1: can't get that heart transplant or they you know, what
Speaker 1: is she even talking about. It's idiocy and this is
Speaker 1: not unique to her, But saying that Trump was credibly
Speaker 1: accused of colluding with Russia to throw the election. Does
Speaker 1: that ever go away? Do we ever have to do
Speaker 1: we ever get to stop hearing this lie? The investigation
Speaker 1: did not show any collusion. Two year long spell counsel
Speaker 1: never should have happened in the first place. The investigation
Speaker 1: did not show any collusion. Okay, So what next? We're
Speaker 1: gonna still hear about how there was collusion? Okay, So
Speaker 1: why do we have the investigation? Oh because maybe maybe
Speaker 1: Mueller didn't find something of these intrepid members of Congress.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, it's it's all crap, it's all lies. Ah.
Speaker 1: But then we get to what really is going on here?
Speaker 1: What is underlying this? What are they trying? What is
Speaker 1: this narrative supposed to do? Why is the left so
Speaker 1: full of itself right now? Is feeling feeling like it
Speaker 1: maybe can get what it wants to get? What does
Speaker 1: it want? Omar? Let us in on the game. I
Speaker 1: think here play three. I have not made impeachment central
Speaker 1: to my election or my tenure, but since the day
Speaker 1: that I'd gotten elected, I'd said to people it is
Speaker 1: not if he will be impeached, but when so it
Speaker 1: is time for us to stop allowing this president to
Speaker 1: make a mockery out of our constitution. It's time for
Speaker 1: us to impeach this president. Impeach the president. Why, oh,
Speaker 1: that's right, because they say he's a racist. That's why
Speaker 1: he should be impeached. Impeach him for being a racist.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about this, other
Speaker 1: than they're never going to give it up. If it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if we win the debate, if we beat
Speaker 1: them on the battlefield of ideas. They they have to believe.
Speaker 1: There's this part of the liberal brain now that has
Speaker 1: to think that Donald Trump instead instead of what they
Speaker 1: see happening around them in the world, which is that
Speaker 1: the country is doing well. There is prosperity. I'm concerned
Speaker 1: about how long it's gonna last. And I do think
Speaker 1: that unless we get our act together and make some changes,
Speaker 1: you know, with all the spending that's going on and
Speaker 1: this artificially low interest rates and there there are we're
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna listen to this show in a year
Speaker 1: or two. I'm guessing more like two years. Like yep,
Speaker 1: we knew it was coming, but the good times were
Speaker 1: happening and nobody wanted to talk about the gathering storm.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, what's going on right now, right now is good.
Speaker 1: So liberals have to believe that there's some horrible thing
Speaker 1: that Trump is guilty over that he's doing, because otherwise
Speaker 1: they'd have to come to grips with maybe they're just wrong,
Speaker 1: maybe they've been wrong all along here, Maybe they really
Speaker 1: don't know what the heck they're talking about. Maybe they
Speaker 1: should just think more about what's good for the country
Speaker 1: and not what's good for their egos. But no, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's instead it's just, oh, Trump is a racist. He
Speaker 1: was a traitor. It looks like he wasn't a trader,
Speaker 1: and now they're saying he's a racist. Again, We've already
Speaker 1: been here. By the way, Trump is not a racist.
Speaker 1: He does not hate people of different ethnicities or colors.
Speaker 1: He does not think poorly of people because of skin color.
Speaker 1: But you'll never convince them otherwise though. You'll never convince
Speaker 1: the left, the Democrats that that is not the case.
Speaker 1: It's a shame, but this is this is the what
Speaker 1: we're dealing with. Your I've got more on this, dealing
Speaker 1: with the squad in a moment, every single statement that
Speaker 1: we make is from a place of extreme love for
Speaker 1: every single person in this country. It is part of
Speaker 1: the mandate of why we ran for office and why
Speaker 1: we got elected. Despite the occupant of the White House
Speaker 1: attempts to marginalize us and to silence us, please know
Speaker 1: that we are more than the four people. We ran
Speaker 1: on a mandate to advocate for and to represent those ignored,
Speaker 1: left out, and left behind. Our squad is big. Our
Speaker 1: squad includes any person committed to building a more equitable
Speaker 1: and just world. And that is the work that we
Speaker 1: want to get back to. And given the size of
Speaker 1: this squad and this great nation, we cannot we will
Speaker 1: not be silent. I don't think anyone thinks they're going
Speaker 1: to be silent. I think I think we're past that. Uh,
Speaker 1: And no one is. No one's trying to silence them.
Speaker 1: So that's also just a strange place to take this discussion.
Speaker 1: There's there's no there's no group, there's no constituent saying
Speaker 1: that these members of Congress aren't allowed to speak or
Speaker 1: can't can't speak their mind on things. We just disagree
Speaker 1: with it. Also, I like with Omar, everything that she
Speaker 1: says comes from love for you. Do you how many
Speaker 1: of you feel like you're getting a big, warm hug
Speaker 1: from Ilohan Omar. You know, huh. Everything that Omar says
Speaker 1: comes from a place of love. Just remember that as
Speaker 1: she says things like this place six. When I was
Speaker 1: in college, I took a terrorism class. Every time the
Speaker 1: professor said al Qaeda, he sort of like his shoulders
Speaker 1: went up. And you know, you know, hospitals. You don't
Speaker 1: say America with an intensity. You don't say England with
Speaker 1: an intensity. You know you don't. You don't say the
Speaker 1: Army with an intensity. CARE was founded after nine eleven
Speaker 1: because they recognize that some people did something and that
Speaker 1: all of us were starting to lose access to our
Speaker 1: civil liberties. We need to abolish ice Woo and had
Speaker 1: all inhumane deportation and concession programs. We need to fight
Speaker 1: back against the criminalization of immigrants and those crossing the border.
Speaker 1: Oh that's all from love, folks. She says that stuff
Speaker 1: because she loves you so much. She wonders why a
Speaker 1: professor would say al Qaida differently than how that professor
Speaker 1: would say America or Britain. But she's she's it's from love,
Speaker 1: because she loves you so much. She wants to get
Speaker 1: close to you and give you a little snuggle, give
Speaker 1: you a hug. She says that some people do something
Speaker 1: on nine eleven. That's that's love. That's why she downplays
Speaker 1: the worst terrorist attack in the history of the world, folks,
Speaker 1: that's what nine eleven was, the worst single terrorist attack ever.
Speaker 1: I think I think that there's some fair questions about
Speaker 1: what omar really thinks of this country and that she
Speaker 1: could be elected. Look, I don't want to I don't
Speaker 1: want to go here, folks, but plenty of people in
Speaker 1: history have been elected to office who didn't love their
Speaker 1: country and did some pretty terrible stuff. I don't want
Speaker 1: to start naming names, but there's plenty of that. You
Speaker 1: don't have to look that far that hard. So just
Speaker 1: because somebody was elected in the country doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: they represent the best interests of that country. It doesn't
Speaker 1: mean that they share the values of that country. So, yes,
Speaker 1: she is she is an American. That is a fact.
Speaker 1: She is a member of Congress, that is a fact.
Speaker 1: I think she has an obtuse and somewhat hateful view
Speaker 1: of the country that took her in. That's an opinion,
Speaker 1: but it's such a well supported one that it starts
Speaker 1: to feel more like fact with each passing day. That's
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with here with the squad. This is
Speaker 1: all the part of the plan. Trump is a racist.
Speaker 1: Why do they want to hammer this home so much?
Speaker 1: Because they hope that people will become uncomfortable voting for
Speaker 1: this president based on the social stigma of voting for
Speaker 1: a racists. This is electoral politics. This is not about
Speaker 1: oh please the people that are saying that our immigration
Speaker 1: and enforcement agents are like Nazis. Yeah, they really care
Speaker 1: about good faith debate and discussion. We're not all morons.
Speaker 1: This is politics. Trump is a racist. Trump is a racist.
Speaker 1: Trump is a racist. That's just that that's the message
Speaker 1: they want it to seep in so that people will say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I know Trump's done a good job,
Speaker 1: but can't vote for a racist. They only need some people, folks.
Speaker 1: Pretty small percentage law. You know, we admit a certain
Speaker 1: number of refugees from all around the world on some
Speaker 1: fairly narrow criterion, and typically refugee status is not granted
Speaker 1: just based on the economic need or because a family
Speaker 1: lives in a bad neighborhood or poverty. It's typically defined
Speaker 1: fairly narrowly. There may be some narrow circumstances in which
Speaker 1: there is a humanitarian or refugee status that a family
Speaker 1: might be able to give here. If that were the case,
Speaker 1: it would be better for them to be able to
Speaker 1: apply in country rather than taking a very dangerous journey
Speaker 1: all the way up to Texas to make those same points.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, can you believe the horrible stuff Obama
Speaker 1: was saying about asylum back in twenty fourteen. Quote Typically,
Speaker 1: refugee status is not granted based on economic need, or
Speaker 1: because a family lives in a bad neighborhood, or because
Speaker 1: of poverty. End quote. That's right, that's not asylum. That's
Speaker 1: not asylum. What are the people coming to our southern
Speaker 1: border doing claiming that that is either a cause for
Speaker 1: some or they're just lying and saying that. They say
Speaker 1: they have a credible fear of violence, and that's all
Speaker 1: they'll say. They'll repeat the same thing over and over.
Speaker 1: I've been told this by border patrol officers. They say things.
Speaker 1: You look at them and you know, okay, well they've
Speaker 1: been told to say this. You say, well, Buck, who's
Speaker 1: telling them? The cartels? Because the cartels have the Internet,
Speaker 1: they have a lot more than that. They have billions
Speaker 1: of dollars. The cartels have figured this out and they're
Speaker 1: controlling access to the border. So this is a scam.
Speaker 1: This is a scam that's enriching the cartels, it's taking
Speaker 1: advantage of the American people. And why is it that
Speaker 1: Obama was able to say this back in twenty fourteen
Speaker 1: and he's not a terrible, terrible guy, and now we're
Speaker 1: being told, oh, actually Trump says this stuff and he's
Speaker 1: a horrible, evil racist for it. How is it the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party in just five years ago was right on.
Speaker 1: They were write in line with at least what I'm
Speaker 1: saying now. They were saying that then they were making
Speaker 1: these claims then. So were they racist then? Or are
Speaker 1: they just completely full of it? Have no principles and
Speaker 1: we'll say whatever they have to say at any point
Speaker 1: in time to get what they want Politically. I think
Speaker 1: we all know the answer to this. I think we
Speaker 1: understand what's really happening here. You know, this is the
Speaker 1: big lie they always tell us. It's not a crime
Speaker 1: to seek asylum. Okay, it is a crime to seek
Speaker 1: asylum with a lie and then stay in this country
Speaker 1: and then refuse to leave once you've been given your
Speaker 1: due process. So you know, this is what they do.
Speaker 1: Though they focus in the Democrats. I'm not even talking
Speaker 1: about the asylum seekers. The Democrats. They pick a talking point,
Speaker 1: they stick to it. You know, people are not illegal.
Speaker 1: Seeking asylum is not a crime. Yeah, that's irrelevant. Lying
Speaker 1: about your background to a federal official to get asylum
Speaker 1: is a crime. And refusing to leave the country when
Speaker 1: you have received your due process and it is clear
Speaker 1: you are not an asylum seeker, that is a crime.
Speaker 1: And it's time we finally hold the left accountable for
Speaker 1: the lies they're telling about this stuff publicly. But I
Speaker 1: have to tell you, folks, this is not good right now.
Speaker 1: I mean the situation with Trump and the border. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is this is not what we signed up for.
Speaker 1: This is not what we were promised. And that's just
Speaker 1: a fact. And you could tell me, oh, buck, but
Speaker 1: he's done everything he can. I'm a little frustrated. The
Speaker 1: entire legislative agenda of the Trump administration was more or
Speaker 1: less handed over to Paul Ryan for the first two years,
Speaker 1: which is the most important time for a new presidency
Speaker 1: to get big stuff done. And Paul Ryan is an
Speaker 1: open border's, free market, absolutist kind of guy. He didn't
Speaker 1: he didn't want to take any action on the boarder,
Speaker 1: and they didn't take any action on the border. There
Speaker 1: was no ledgislation passed or even attempted to be passed
Speaker 1: that would have dealt with this situation at the border
Speaker 1: that would have in any You know what they just
Speaker 1: trying to do, folks, They've all they're trying to pass
Speaker 1: legislation to increase guess worker programs, so more foreigners competing
Speaker 1: for your jobs. That's what the current Congress is looking
Speaker 1: to do. You'll notice that hasn't gotten a lot of
Speaker 1: attention both parties because the donor class loves that both
Speaker 1: parties want to increase foreign competition for your jobs. That's
Speaker 1: that is a Republican and Democrat. And you know, you
Speaker 1: look at these h one B visas and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of nonsense in there too. They're supposed to be
Speaker 1: bringing people in who have unique skills that could not
Speaker 1: be you cannot be it cannot be found on us.
Speaker 1: So it's not true. They just bring people in who
Speaker 1: are then prisoners of the visa system and they can't
Speaker 1: leave that job because then they'll lose their visa and
Speaker 1: then they underpay them and then a lot of them
Speaker 1: go back home. That's not the way that this is.
Speaker 1: That's not how this is to go. But there's been
Speaker 1: Look there, they're massive, massive problems in our immigration system.
Speaker 1: Right now. None of this is being dealt with. But
Speaker 1: asylum is the I mean, this is the point. This
Speaker 1: is what's collapsing the system. Really, this is what has
Speaker 1: gone completely completely haywire. And I've played that Obama clip
Speaker 1: for you just so that you know we're not crazy, folks.
Speaker 1: What we're saying is reality. What we're saying, should it
Speaker 1: should be done here? Is what the Democrats we're saying
Speaker 1: should be done here. Until pretty recently, they're the ones
Speaker 1: who have changed. They're the ones who have radicalized. We
Speaker 1: have not radicalized. We're just saying, I mean, here's here's
Speaker 1: Ken Cucinelli, who's the acting United States Customs and Immigration Director,
Speaker 1: talking about what's really true about these asylum seekers. Play thirteen.
Speaker 1: Almost ninety percent of the people pouring themselves into our
Speaker 1: asylum system really don't have a shot at obtaining US
Speaker 1: asylum in this country. Will stop people who are fraudulently
Speaker 1: frankly clogging our asylum system, and Mike, we have over
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand case backlog in asylum and they're getting
Speaker 1: in the way of people who have legitimate asylum claims,
Speaker 1: legitimate persecution claims. And remember, asylum is about safety. It
Speaker 1: isn't about forum shopping, and this regulation will stop the
Speaker 1: forum shopping while preserving safety. Another way of explaining this
Speaker 1: is that there are people who currently are have fled
Speaker 1: watching their entire family, let's say, be executed in Syria.
Speaker 1: I mean I spoke to families where that had been
Speaker 1: the case. They'd watched their children, their parents, that their
Speaker 1: neighbors executed right out in the street because they were
Speaker 1: the wrong sect, or because they were an opponent of
Speaker 1: the regime, or whatever it may be. I was in
Speaker 1: the refugee camps in Zaucherie. I saw and talk to
Speaker 1: people that's a refuge those people, though, some of them
Speaker 1: who have and from from different situations all over the world,
Speaker 1: who are trying to get legitimate refugee status. Member your refugee.
Speaker 1: If you apply outside the US, it's asylum. If you
Speaker 1: get to the US and then you effectively want to
Speaker 1: be a refugee in house, you're already here. But the
Speaker 1: people that want that are in the refugee pipeline. They're
Speaker 1: they're getting delayed and they're being told, sorry, you know,
Speaker 1: we can't get to your claim. We can't let you
Speaker 1: in because we got to deal with all this stuff.
Speaker 1: There is a line skipping that occurs here. There's a
Speaker 1: cost to this. There's not just a cost to the
Speaker 1: tax beer. There's a cost to real asylum seekers, people
Speaker 1: that would qualify under the system that we really do
Speaker 1: want to help. But you won't hear. There's some Democrats now,
Speaker 1: I mean here, Mark Morgan, who was I can't remember
Speaker 1: he was acting ICE director acting Yeah, I think he
Speaker 1: was acting ICE director and he was in the Obama aministration.
Speaker 1: You know, I talked to this guy, interviewed him a
Speaker 1: couple of times. He's a sharp dude. He gets it,
Speaker 1: and he knows that what the Democrats are doing right
Speaker 1: now is an absolute abject disgrace, disgrace. And here's here's
Speaker 1: what the administration changing this rule. They're gonna challenge us
Speaker 1: in court as you who's gonna challenge in court any
Speaker 1: new challenges. This doesn't really care about the asylum system.
Speaker 1: It's a frivolous legal challenge. Of course, we should be
Speaker 1: able to say, we should be able to determine who
Speaker 1: comes in this country and who doesn't. Who really controls
Speaker 1: our immigration system? At this point? Is anyone in charge?
Speaker 1: Do the American people get a vote in this or
Speaker 1: is it just you know, these open borders groups, these
Speaker 1: immigration lawyers paid for by the open borders groups and
Speaker 1: the media that loves the path themselves in the back
Speaker 1: while they send their kids to schools where they're never
Speaker 1: have to deal with a you know, their kids don't
Speaker 1: go to schools, so they're gonna have to deal with
Speaker 1: recent migrant arrivals from third world countries that don't speak English.
Speaker 1: Their kids don't have to deal with that. They don't
Speaker 1: see the migrants are at their country club. You know,
Speaker 1: when when Chris Matthews and Scarborough and Anderson Cooper are
Speaker 1: in the Hamptons or Nantucket, they're not going to see
Speaker 1: any of these refugees. They don't care. They get to
Speaker 1: feel good about themselves. Their communities aren't going to be
Speaker 1: dealing with an influx of people who not only came
Speaker 1: in illegally, but are being told that America owes you something.
Speaker 1: It's America's fault that you had to come here, so
Speaker 1: you know, you better get your as while you're here.
Speaker 1: Of course, this is reasonable. This is what Mark Morgan's saying.
Speaker 1: This is what any country would do you. If you're
Speaker 1: a true asylum seeker, the first safe country you get to,
Speaker 1: you should say, hey, can I have asylum here? You know,
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to be choosy in this process. It's
Speaker 1: not you know, oh well, I hear that Sweden has
Speaker 1: better dental benefits, so so ship me off to Sweden
Speaker 1: from Guatemala. That's not all this is supposed to go
Speaker 1: play fourteen. This is basic international law is that if
Speaker 1: you're if you're fleeing a country and you're seek an asylum,
Speaker 1: the standard is you seek asylum and the first country
Speaker 1: you come to that Jess makes sense, Yeah, because otherwise
Speaker 1: what you have is what we're seeing people that are
Speaker 1: passing through countries on the way to the country they
Speaker 1: really want to get to as a means of skipping
Speaker 1: the line and be the immigration system. It's not, folks,
Speaker 1: that is not how this is supposed to go. That
Speaker 1: is not the way this was set up to play out.
Speaker 1: And I think we're all starting to finally catch on here.
Speaker 1: I think people are starting to understand what is really
Speaker 1: at work here, which is the Democrats pushing an open
Speaker 1: borders agenda that's meant to destroy the Republican Party and
Speaker 1: throw us much more quickly into a far left, a
Speaker 1: democratic socialist administration that has a free hand to do
Speaker 1: whatever it wants for as long as it wants. We
Speaker 1: you know, one of my concerns for America right now,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to sound like a broken record
Speaker 1: on this, but we we've gotten so used to things
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years feeling like they're moving
Speaker 1: the right direction. Things are pretty good. Nothing lasts forever, folks,
Speaker 1: and you know, we we've got to at least keep
Speaker 1: things in this country on a certain a certain playing field.
Speaker 1: You know, We've got to keep things within certain boundaries
Speaker 1: or else the next correction, the next downturn for this
Speaker 1: country could really put it on a different trajectory over
Speaker 1: the long term. I mean this, essentially, this place will
Speaker 1: never be the same. You know, the next time that
Speaker 1: things get bad for a while, because they will, might
Speaker 1: be the last time that we think of America as
Speaker 1: a place of real individual liberty and freedom and optimism,
Speaker 1: where it's not just another sclerotic bureaucracy foisted atop people,
Speaker 1: you know, with with you know a lot of people
Speaker 1: in history and we think, oh, it's all of all
Speaker 1: of humanity is heading toward, you know, brighter days and
Speaker 1: better A lot of people have lived in countries in
Speaker 1: fact that the rule, not the option, has been people
Speaker 1: living in countries where the government didn't give a didn't
Speaker 1: give a crap what they think. And where you're born
Speaker 1: is where you end up. There's no real upward mobility.
Speaker 1: You know, things aren't going to get better, and you
Speaker 1: just kind of learn to lower your expectations about everything
Speaker 1: and just be happy if there's food and a roof
Speaker 1: over your head. Most of the time. That's that's most
Speaker 1: of human history in nation states. That's that's been the
Speaker 1: way it is more or less. Uh, you know, America
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't necessarily stay as America forever. I think that
Speaker 1: we all need to recognize that. You look at a country,
Speaker 1: you look at some of the countries that had their
Speaker 1: descent into into fascism, into totalitarianism, they were relatively by
Speaker 1: their standards of their time, relatively well off and cultured.
Speaker 1: And things can turn fast, My friends, so we got
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on all this. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it's gonna get terrible right away, but there is a
Speaker 1: real lawlessness going on here. We've been removing MS thirteen
Speaker 1: by the thousands during my administration, and I tell my
Speaker 1: people much easier to go the other route, but I say,
Speaker 1: focus on the criminals. Focus on the people that are killing,
Speaker 1: people that are causing crime. Focus on them. Much easier
Speaker 1: just to go to general population. That's easy, but I
Speaker 1: don't do it the easy way. We're getting tremendous numbers
Speaker 1: of criminals. And yesterday it was just reported to me
Speaker 1: before I woke as I said, how did that go? Yesterday?
Speaker 1: Didn't have to start yesterday. The truth is it started
Speaker 1: a number of days before yesterday, but yesterday was very successful.
Speaker 1: People come into our country illegally and they go out legally.
Speaker 1: Every person taken out had papers and we had court orders.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with that? If that's not what should happen.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't the Democrats? Shouldn't the Democrats advocate that we change
Speaker 1: the laws. Why should the laws stay as they are
Speaker 1: if the laws themselves are unjust. He's talking about MS
Speaker 1: thirteen getting deported out of the country. Does anyone disapprove
Speaker 1: of that? And isn't this also a problem of having
Speaker 1: either too much immigration without enough assimilation, or having open
Speaker 1: or near open borders. This just I saw this story
Speaker 1: today about twenty two Los Angeles based MS thirteen gang members.
Speaker 1: This is on the site Breaking nine Breaking nine one
Speaker 1: one Los Angeles based gang members charged in series of
Speaker 1: grizzly murders, including several slayings in which victims were hacked
Speaker 1: to death with with machetes in the Angeles National Forest
Speaker 1: and their hearts were cut out of their bodies. As
Speaker 1: Trump has said, you know, bad ombres right there there,
Speaker 1: there are there are definite downsides. Two are very las lackadaisical.
Speaker 1: Oh whatever, It's all fine immigration attitude. There's no question
Speaker 1: about that. And I just want to know, are all
Speaker 1: these other countries, Canada, Australia, basically all of Europe, you know?
Speaker 1: I mean, if I was offered citizenship in Monaco or
Speaker 1: I have to pay no taxes, what I really consider it?
Speaker 1: Probably I think you have to have like a million
Speaker 1: a million liquids, so no luck for me. But you know,
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. All these other countries have immigration systems
Speaker 1: that try to privilege the best possible people for that
Speaker 1: country getting into the country. It's a skills or merit
Speaker 1: based immigration systems that that's the norm in the rest
Speaker 1: of the developed world. Yeah, try to become a Japanese citizen.
Speaker 1: See how that goes for You show up in Japan
Speaker 1: and say, hey, no, I have a right to be here,
Speaker 1: you know, because of World War Two and what you
Speaker 1: guys did, and they come up with some excuse. The
Speaker 1: Japanese will be very polite, very orderly, and they will
Speaker 1: show you to the next flight to wherever you came from.
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen. But we aren't allowed to
Speaker 1: decide who comes here and who doesn't. We're not allowed
Speaker 1: to do that. And we're also apparently not allowed to
Speaker 1: say that there's any downside to a situation where people
Speaker 1: are just pouring into the country. We have no idea
Speaker 1: who they are, we have no idea what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean m as their teams, a
Speaker 1: transnational gang that relies on recruiting from and and exploiting
Speaker 1: particularly El Salvadoran and Honduran illegal immigrant populations in the
Speaker 1: United States for horrible stuff like what we saw here,
Speaker 1: you know here, I mean, this is my you know,
Speaker 1: we're never allowed to talk about this, but you know,
Speaker 1: you look at the Los Angeles County most Wanted list.
Speaker 1: Just just just do that as a as a as
Speaker 1: an experiment, and then look and see how many of
Speaker 1: them are illegals. Turns out there's a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: them whole I'm looking at the list right now. There's
Speaker 1: a whole bunch that either are illegal or come from
Speaker 1: communities where there are certainly a lot of illegality. And
Speaker 1: you have to look at their specific status to see
Speaker 1: if the individuals in fact illegal. But I'd be willing
Speaker 1: to guess a bunch of them are. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: some here that very likely. Folks, We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: You are now entering the Freedom Hot Tactical Operation Center.
Speaker 1: All sensitive programs must be camps strictly need to know
Speaker 1: Team Buck is cleared and ready for the Buck brief.
Speaker 1: Turkey has been drifting out of NATO and the US
Speaker 1: and the West's orbit for quite some time. There's been
Speaker 1: a long list of Turkish policy decisions that were certainly
Speaker 1: not not in line with our interests, certainly a slap
Speaker 1: in the face to the United States and stretching all
Speaker 1: the way back to their unwillingness to let us open
Speaker 1: a northern front in the Iraq War and the Second
Speaker 1: Iraq War, which could have changed the outcome of the war,
Speaker 1: and it could have made things go much more quickly.
Speaker 1: And you know, who knows what will never be able
Speaker 1: to prove that one or the other, but they would
Speaker 1: not let us. And the Turks are far too friendly
Speaker 1: with Hamas. I think the Turkish turning a blind eye
Speaker 1: to what was going on in Syria for a while,
Speaker 1: especially at their border, was very helpful to the I
Speaker 1: know it was very helpful to the tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of recruits who flocked to the Islamic State. They're just
Speaker 1: flying to Turkey and driving down and just you know,
Speaker 1: showing up in Syria. So that the Turks have been
Speaker 1: a very fair weather friend for a while now. And
Speaker 1: I do think that there's some sense of a global
Speaker 1: political correctness that we're not as we're not as strict
Speaker 1: with Turkey as we would be with another NATO ally
Speaker 1: on these things, where we don't hold them to the
Speaker 1: same standard because Turkey's the only I guess, other than
Speaker 1: Albania's Muslim majority right, But Turkey's thought of as the
Speaker 1: as the major Muslim country in NATO, and it makes
Speaker 1: it seem that it's not that NATO is not just
Speaker 1: some Western, at least nominally Christian Western alliance, that there's
Speaker 1: we have, you know, the Turks involved as well, which
Speaker 1: for any Mid East peacekeeping and stability operations, we could say, well,
Speaker 1: look we've got a you know, we've got a Muslim
Speaker 1: NATO state, but really Turkey shouldn't be in NATO, and
Speaker 1: this is going to cause some big problems. The latest
Speaker 1: addition to the Turkey shouldn't be in NATO chorus comes
Speaker 1: courtesy of their decision to buy a very sophisticated Russian
Speaker 1: surface to surface to air missile system called the S
Speaker 1: four hundred. Now some of you may be familiar with
Speaker 1: the S three hundred, which had been a missile system
Speaker 1: that we had been worried about for some time getting
Speaker 1: into the hands of different Mid East regimes, including the Iranians,
Speaker 1: and and this just makes it harder for air strikes. Right.
Speaker 1: This this is a serious challenge to Western aerial systems.
Speaker 1: So that's something that you know, you always have to
Speaker 1: remember is that the Russians will sometimes sell these systems.
Speaker 1: The S four hundred is the updated version of the
Speaker 1: S three hundreds. As I said, an anti aircraft system.
Speaker 1: It is a self propelled I mean it looks like
Speaker 1: a almost like a big tractor with a bunch of
Speaker 1: huge tubes on the back of it, and it has
Speaker 1: who knows what the real specs are for this, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's gonna there's what they say. The operational range is
Speaker 1: about four hundred kilometers, they say, but it could be more,
Speaker 1: it could be less. I'm sure that the Russians have
Speaker 1: classified this. The NATO name for this is the SA
Speaker 1: twenty one Growler, So we've been telling the Turks, look,
Speaker 1: don't buy the SA twenty one growler, the S four hundreds,
Speaker 1: better known as that, because it's not going to be
Speaker 1: compatible with any NATO technology. So you're going outside of
Speaker 1: NATO systems here for a very important, very expensive surface
Speaker 1: to air missile system. There are concerns that Russians who
Speaker 1: may be involved, remember the missile system will also have
Speaker 1: to have maintenance training, and that means Russians on the
Speaker 1: ground in Turkey. There are concerns that the Russians may
Speaker 1: use then any involvement in the S four hundred system
Speaker 1: as a means of acquiring sensitive information about about our
Speaker 1: aircraft flying out of Injurlique air base. Remember, we have
Speaker 1: a big air base in Turkey Injurlique, and so there
Speaker 1: are there are concerns over that. And then there's also
Speaker 1: the what does this mean going forward? And Trump has
Speaker 1: said that We're probably not going to sell them the
Speaker 1: F thirty five plane system, which I believe is the
Speaker 1: most expensive single weapons system in the history of the world.
Speaker 1: Right the F thirty five, the development of it, and
Speaker 1: there are some there have been problems with the F
Speaker 1: thirty five system, there have been reported on recently. But
Speaker 1: this is Turkey moving away the what people see here,
Speaker 1: and this is a big decision. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: gonna This is a multi billion dollars shift away from
Speaker 1: weapons system that is US and NATO backed to one
Speaker 1: that is Russia backed. This is a move. It's going
Speaker 1: to create a lot of bad feeling inside the different
Speaker 1: capitals of European countries that are in NATO. For sure,
Speaker 1: Turkey is and the reason it has been an important
Speaker 1: country for a long time is its strategic location. It
Speaker 1: is a very important location for a whole bunch of reasons.
Speaker 1: NATO already has the American made Patriot system, right. You
Speaker 1: remember the Patriot missiles. We all came to know about
Speaker 1: them during the first Persian Gulf War and they've been
Speaker 1: there since the civil war in Syria really heated up.
Speaker 1: But are tuan is saying that they need their own
Speaker 1: long range missile system. Turkey has tried to buy its
Speaker 1: own Patriot system, but we wouldn't sell that to them,
Speaker 1: and Trump's or at least they never got a deal,
Speaker 1: and Trump said, Trump has blamed the Obama administration for that,
Speaker 1: but their Turkey's basically saying, this is what we need
Speaker 1: for our own defense. Sorry, we're going to do this.
Speaker 1: And now this might mean that we don't we don't
Speaker 1: sell them the F thirty five, which means that are
Speaker 1: they really going to be a NATO country indefinitely? I
Speaker 1: think people have to look at this. I mean a
Speaker 1: NATO's spokesman just said, we are concerned about the potential
Speaker 1: consequences of Turkey's decision, in part because it is considered
Speaker 1: technologically incompatible with the weapons system used by NATO countries.
Speaker 1: Interoperability of our armed forces is fundamental to NATO for
Speaker 1: keeping our conduct of our operations and missions. We welcome
Speaker 1: the Turkey's working with several allies and development blah blah. Okay, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what that sounds like a NATO spokesperson saying this. Look,
Speaker 1: the problem of your folks is if we start to
Speaker 1: have a shift in Turkey away from the West, toward
Speaker 1: the East, toward more authoritarian regimes, toward Russia, then Turkey
Speaker 1: can become a kind of forward operating base, a beachhead
Speaker 1: for the Eastern authoritarian regimes right on the doorstep of Europe.
Speaker 1: And this starts to bring up for those that know
Speaker 1: their history, a lot of you know, this feels very cyclical,
Speaker 1: right that Turkey has been more authoritarian recently under the
Speaker 1: Ertwuan regime, cracking down on journalist in Turkey is one
Speaker 1: of the worst places in the world. I think it
Speaker 1: may be the worst in the world for imprisoning journalists
Speaker 1: that had previously been free, right, I mean, North Korea
Speaker 1: doesn't allow any journalism, but I think Turkey has switched
Speaker 1: over and is now really bad for press freedom, certainly
Speaker 1: the worst for press freedom of any country that we
Speaker 1: have any expectations of press freedom in. And they've they
Speaker 1: have an increasingly Islamist Islamist government. There was that coup attempt,
Speaker 1: which they then aimed on Ghulanists. This guy Ghulin or
Speaker 1: ghoul rather, who was in Was he in Pennsylvania? I
Speaker 1: think there was that very the whole thing seemed kind
Speaker 1: of bizarre. There was that coup attempt. But if Turkey
Speaker 1: doesn't go in our direction, that has implications for shipping
Speaker 1: into the Black Sea, and and it could affect the
Speaker 1: ability of our ships to have free transit through the
Speaker 1: the Straits. I was gonna say Straits of horror moves.
Speaker 1: That's obviously the Persian Gulf, the dardanelles Um, that's what
Speaker 1: we're you know this, and this takes us all the
Speaker 1: way back to well different periods in history where this
Speaker 1: has been among the most important choke points of any
Speaker 1: of any waterway in the world. Right. I mean, you
Speaker 1: look at the Bosphorus and the choke point that is
Speaker 1: created between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and understand
Speaker 1: that that will matter going forward. If this is going
Speaker 1: to matter for for shipping, it's going to matter for
Speaker 1: pipelines and access to natural gas, in particular from the East.
Speaker 1: There's a lot that brides on this and Turkey keeps
Speaker 1: trending in the wrong direction, and I really do think
Speaker 1: that part of this is that the Turks get away
Speaker 1: with stuff because we kind of need to have a Muslim,
Speaker 1: a large Muslim majority NATO country to put a non
Speaker 1: Western European American component in play. You know that right
Speaker 1: now there a lot of people looking at Turkey and saying,
Speaker 1: what is this country really doing? What's the long term?
Speaker 1: You know, I've always felt like the Turks have as
Speaker 1: a country. There's a little bit more there's a grandiosity
Speaker 1: about their sense of what the country is capable of.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about the Turkish leadership now that they
Speaker 1: think that Turkey is a more important player than it is,
Speaker 1: and they haven't yet gotten the memo that historically Turkey
Speaker 1: was a huge power, but it is not anymore. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to slap them down
Speaker 1: a little bit. Him in the F thirty five system
Speaker 1: not getting sold to Turkey. That's certainly one way of
Speaker 1: one way for us to show our displeasure, and then
Speaker 1: we'll have to see beyond that if there's any further
Speaker 1: diplomatic rifts here. But Russia getting a real foothold in
Speaker 1: the Turkish in the Turkish military industrial complex. This is
Speaker 1: not something that we should ignore. This is something that's
Speaker 1: going to going to matter more going forward. And even
Speaker 1: though Putin has a very geopolitically a weekend, especially because
Speaker 1: of the depressed oil prices, he has been doing things
Speaker 1: in the interests of his country that it looks like
Speaker 1: he's out playing our diplomats a lot of the time.
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you. That's and that's without
Speaker 1: talking about all that Russia collusion nonsense. This is the
Speaker 1: real Russia stuff we got to worry about. Five years ago.
Speaker 1: My son said I can't breathe eleven times, and today
Speaker 1: we can't breathe because they have led us down. So
Speaker 1: this is from the case you may remember of Eric Garner,
Speaker 1: who was an African American man who was selling loose
Speaker 1: cigarettes on the street and a New York City Police officer,
Speaker 1: Daniel Pantaleo, who was with the NYPD where I formerly
Speaker 1: worked as a civilian intelligence analyst. But he placed Garner
Speaker 1: in a choke hold, and Garner was saying that he
Speaker 1: could not breathe. And look, this was a very at
Speaker 1: the time, a very contentious situation. It led to a
Speaker 1: lot of protests. It was one of the cases that
Speaker 1: it was one of the cases that was part of
Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter movement that would always be highlighted
Speaker 1: in as part of that movement, and I would I
Speaker 1: would say this about it. I'm I'm sympathetic because, first
Speaker 1: of all, no one should No one should lose their
Speaker 1: their kid. Who doesn't pose their child In this case,
Speaker 1: the guy was, you know, a grown adult, but that
Speaker 1: was his mother speaking. No one should lose a loved
Speaker 1: one because they're selling loose cigarettes. Um. But this is
Speaker 1: a complicated situation because there's video of this and in
Speaker 1: the video when you watch it, Eric Garner does does
Speaker 1: not comply and you're not You're not allowed to do that.
Speaker 1: You're you're not allowed to tell a police officer who
Speaker 1: is who is arresting you that you just don't want it,
Speaker 1: you don't you're not going to jail today, which is
Speaker 1: what he I think he might have even said that,
Speaker 1: but that that was the more or less the response
Speaker 1: that he gave his officer, which is, sorry, I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to jail today. Well, well, where
Speaker 1: is that stop and start? The process is that officers
Speaker 1: are empowered by the state or in this case, the city,
Speaker 1: but the city as a subsidiary subsidiary of the state,
Speaker 1: to arrest you if they have if there's a problem
Speaker 1: cause for that arrest, right so, And whether you think
Speaker 1: that it should be illegal or not to sell untaxed
Speaker 1: cigarettes on the street, it is illegal. And when they
Speaker 1: went up to this guy, which I you know, you
Speaker 1: can argue about that. They went up to this guy
Speaker 1: and they said, look, you're you know, you got to
Speaker 1: come with us, and then he said, I'm not going.
Speaker 1: And sure enough, he's a very large guy, he's a
Speaker 1: he's a guy who was already having, you know, a
Speaker 1: heart problems. He had a heart condition. And when they
Speaker 1: when the officer wrestled him to the ground, he went
Speaker 1: into a respiratory failure and he died. The officer did
Speaker 1: not choke him to death. So when people talk about
Speaker 1: a chokehold, I mean that would a chokehold that leads
Speaker 1: to death would would be a function of asphyxiation. That's
Speaker 1: not what happened here. What happened is that the the
Speaker 1: chokehold that he used, which I know some people say
Speaker 1: it's not even really technically a chokehole, but you know,
Speaker 1: the way that they brought this guy down caused an
Speaker 1: escalation in his heart rate and then he went into
Speaker 1: respiratory failure. So look, it's a sad situation. I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy, the guy didn't deserve to die the question
Speaker 1: at all. But the question is did the officer arresting
Speaker 1: him act with malice and with undue force under under
Speaker 1: these circumstances and this h Now that, by the way,
Speaker 1: they're blaming this on Attorney General bar which that's that's
Speaker 1: to be expected, I suppose, and anything to tie this
Speaker 1: to the Trump administration. The quote here is that DJ
Speaker 1: officials did not feel convinced there was evidence approved beyond
Speaker 1: a reasonable doubt that the officer acted willfully. It's hard
Speaker 1: to thoughtfully apply specific techniques during physical confrontations with resisting parties,
Speaker 1: the officials said. The most challenging part of the case,
Speaker 1: according to officials, was proving Pantaleo's state of mind when
Speaker 1: he put his arm around Garner's neck and restricted his airflow.
Speaker 1: So he wasn't trying to kill him, he was trying
Speaker 1: to subdue him. Is essentially the the upshot of this
Speaker 1: or that's that's the bottom line here. So you know, look,
Speaker 1: it's a tough one of folks. I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: I feel badly. I feel badly for the family of
Speaker 1: this individual. But let's keep in mind here, I think
Speaker 1: that they I think that they'll be if there isn't
Speaker 1: already there will be a massive lawsuit. And knowing the
Speaker 1: way that the Blasia, oh sorry, there already was, the
Speaker 1: City of New York set up with Garners the state
Speaker 1: for five point nine million dollars in twenty fifteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what This became a big cause though you
Speaker 1: had Lebron James swearing I can't breathe t shirts, people saying,
Speaker 1: you know, I can't breathe. You know, this became a
Speaker 1: much bigger issue than, for example, a case that I
Speaker 1: wrote about for The Hill where an individual was I
Speaker 1: think maliciously murdered by a police officer honestly, but he
Speaker 1: was a young white male, so it didn't get put
Speaker 1: into the category of black lives matter. But this is
Speaker 1: where he was told to cross his legs and uncrossed
Speaker 1: his legs and crawl but don't you know, show me
Speaker 1: your hands, but crawl but uncrossed your legs in a
Speaker 1: hallway and the guy was whimpering and crying, and an
Speaker 1: officer with an AAR and there are two officers in
Speaker 1: the hallway with an r just just just wasted this
Speaker 1: young guy. I mean, you know, because he tried to
Speaker 1: pull his h his shorts up and if you watch
Speaker 1: the video I wrote about it on the hill, If
Speaker 1: you watch the video, I mean, it was essentially an
Speaker 1: execution by a cop that had had scratched your your
Speaker 1: F word did on his rifle. Okay, is a guy.
Speaker 1: Guy's got problems, um, clearly. And I think he got away.
Speaker 1: I think he got away with with you know, with
Speaker 1: homicide honestly, but that did not get turned into a
Speaker 1: big case. This got turned into a big case. And
Speaker 1: I think that this wasn't I think that this was
Speaker 1: a really unfortunate situation which is going to happen. And
Speaker 1: you know, ultimately, you know, do I think the officers
Speaker 1: should have like let him go sooner around the neck? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know, he wasn't trying to kill him, and
Speaker 1: you have to take that into account when you were
Speaker 1: looking at officer, there was no intent to murder or
Speaker 1: do or have undue harm to this individual. It's hard, folks.
Speaker 1: We ask a lot of law enforcement and this stuff
Speaker 1: is all very politicized these days, and you know, this
Speaker 1: officer's life is never the same. And the people that
Speaker 1: say things like, oh, officers go out looking for this,
Speaker 1: they don't know what they're talking about the worst day
Speaker 1: of a police officer's life is a lethal force incident.
Speaker 1: And anybody who's ever served, and I know people in
Speaker 1: the NYPD who have been involved in that, and they
Speaker 1: say that it's it's life changing and not in a
Speaker 1: not in a good way. So anyway, that's that's the
Speaker 1: upshot of this. You may see more talk of it
Speaker 1: because of the bar Attorney General bar tie in, but
Speaker 1: they did not put put federal charges against bring federal
Speaker 1: charges against officer Penthalia for Eric Garner's death, and the
Speaker 1: left is outraged about it. I think it's the right
Speaker 1: I think it's the right call by DJ. I do.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you ever watched the BBC.
Speaker 1: I do know some Americans who think that the BBC,
Speaker 1: because because everyone has a very proper accent, that what
Speaker 1: they say must be so much more important and believable.
Speaker 1: Turns out that's not really the case. You can have
Speaker 1: a you can have a fancy British accent and be
Speaker 1: a total moron, as we have learned many, many, many times,
Speaker 1: particularly in the media world. But the BBC for some
Speaker 1: is considered an international gold standard of journalistic credibility. Everyone
Speaker 1: who goes on there, it's just so proper, so credible.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, we're just going to report on whatever we
Speaker 1: see as journalists and we don't have any political opinions whatsoever.
Speaker 1: It turns out they do have political opinions, and in
Speaker 1: fact they tend to be overwhelmingly leftists and anti Israeli.
Speaker 1: There's that and a few other issues where you see
Speaker 1: the BBC showing what it really is. But this story,
Speaker 1: and this is by a Yasha Ali. It's a huff
Speaker 1: Post story, but don't let that stop you from paying
Speaker 1: attention to it for a second. Here BBC accepts Iran's
Speaker 1: demand of blackout on its Persian sites amid regimes attacks
Speaker 1: on the press. Here's the story. The BBC has agreed
Speaker 1: to condition. So this is the British Broadcasting Corporation agreed
Speaker 1: to conditions set by the Islamic Republic of Iran to
Speaker 1: not share reporting materials it gathers in Iran with its
Speaker 1: beat with its Persian language channel BBC Persian in including
Speaker 1: to an. According to an internal email obtained by huff Post,
Speaker 1: the agreement represents a capitulation to a government that has
Speaker 1: been hostled to press freedom. The Iranian government routinely shuts
Speaker 1: down media organizations critical of the regime and imprisons, tortures,
Speaker 1: and executes journalists. The agreement was made with the Iranian
Speaker 1: government in exchange for Iran allowing a BBC correspondent into
Speaker 1: the country. It's not the first time that the BBC
Speaker 1: has agreed to such terms. Look, journalists all the time
Speaker 1: are making decisions about who they will you know what
Speaker 1: they will report on, who they will report on, and
Speaker 1: you know how they will you know how they'll approach
Speaker 1: any given subject. And there's a lot there's a lot
Speaker 1: that journalists do that is very obviously partisan if you're
Speaker 1: going to just look at it for what it is.
Speaker 1: And they also make concessions. They make concessions for access.
Speaker 1: They do it with different administrations. They do it with
Speaker 1: how they will tell somebody what's on the record versus
Speaker 1: off the record, and whether they'll give anonymity to sources.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of games that can be played. It
Speaker 1: all it's all just storytelling. It's the it's the presentation
Speaker 1: of facts in story format. But I'm still very steamed
Speaker 1: about when I was in Beijing a couple months back,
Speaker 1: a few months ago now, and I saw CNN International
Speaker 1: and there's just no sense of patriotism whatsoever from CNN
Speaker 1: that the image that it projects of America to the
Speaker 1: rest of the world plays to the prejudices of a
Speaker 1: global audience against America, and I think that's shameful. And
Speaker 1: the BBC here, which holds itself up as a as
Speaker 1: an international gold standard in reporting, is willing to take
Speaker 1: the deal offered by the Iranian regime which imprisons, tortures,
Speaker 1: murders journalists, in order to continue to have access for
Speaker 1: its journalists. Now, if you are going to be a
Speaker 1: real First Amendment, well they don't have the First Amendment there,
Speaker 1: But if you're going to be a real free press advocate,
Speaker 1: wouldn't you tell the world about what Iran blackmails you
Speaker 1: into doing, or tries the blackmailion into doing as the
Speaker 1: news organization instead of just going along to get along.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but there's just so much dishonesty in the
Speaker 1: journalism profession now, and that's why it's breaking down. That's
Speaker 1: why journalism as a as a career category, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure it really exists anymore, or it's it's ceasing to
Speaker 1: exist the way that it used to. Twenty five percent
Speaker 1: reduction in newsroom employment of the last twenty years, I believe,
Speaker 1: is the statistic that I saw, and I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't find that the least bit surprising. In fact, I
Speaker 1: think if you look at journalism overall, because of the
Speaker 1: breakdown in the barriers, because people now can become journalists
Speaker 1: and a mass, very large followings without any institutional backing there,
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of downward pressure on these organizations
Speaker 1: and so they cave and BBC caves here because they
Speaker 1: want access to Iron. But I also think that you know,
Speaker 1: they would never they would never accept from Israel this
Speaker 1: kind of adeal, but they'll accept it from Iran. I
Speaker 1: think there's more behind this, But just remember journalists like
Speaker 1: to pat themselves in the back for being brave, and
Speaker 1: most are. Most are really craven and pretty cowardly. The
Speaker 1: show ain't over yet, folks, keeping it real, it's time
Speaker 1: for roll call roll call time. Yes, indeed, how do
Speaker 1: it we do the roll call that we do. How
Speaker 1: do the voodoo that you do so well? It is
Speaker 1: a spell you make me want to shoot Marcella. Hello Buck,
Speaker 1: I have followed your journey and wanting a dog from
Speaker 1: the beginning. Like you, I'm a dog nut and have
Speaker 1: been since early childhood. My favorite childhood book was the
Speaker 1: Official AKC Book of Dog Breeds, which I studied obsessively.
Speaker 1: Yesterday I heard you say that when the time comes,
Speaker 1: after marriage and kids, lol, you will get an English bulldog.
Speaker 1: I know you're a fan of Frenchie's, Hi Lula, and
Speaker 1: now I'm wondering specifically what made you decide on an
Speaker 1: English bulldog versus a Frenchie Shields High Marcella, Well, Marcella,
Speaker 1: I'd be very happy with a French bulldog too, and
Speaker 1: they're very popular now in cities because they're just really
Speaker 1: like a smaller version of an English bulldog. I just
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's something about an English bully that
Speaker 1: I think they're the cutest. I don't have a better
Speaker 1: answer than that. I just think they're the cutest, and
Speaker 1: they're a little bigger, a little a little heavier, maybe
Speaker 1: a little more rough and tumble. Though Frenchie's got a
Speaker 1: lot of personality for a small dog. I never understand
Speaker 1: people who are only like big dogs. Why do you
Speaker 1: only like big dogs? I know there's some dogs that
Speaker 1: look like they just crawled out of a sewer drain somewhere,
Speaker 1: and that's not good. But I mean a thirty or
Speaker 1: forty pound dog, which is what we're talking about with
Speaker 1: say bulldogs. English bulldogs are easily thirty forty, sometimes more
Speaker 1: like fifty pounds. To me, that's a that's a that's
Speaker 1: a pretty big animal. That's not a small you know,
Speaker 1: French cheese. My mom is gonna yell at me for
Speaker 1: saying this. Frenchies could get upwards of thirty pounds if
Speaker 1: you feed them a lot, a little too much. Lula,
Speaker 1: Lula's nesting. She's in a nesting phase of her life,
Speaker 1: trying to think one of the other. You know, my
Speaker 1: older brother has a Pomeranian, and Pomeranians are they're little
Speaker 1: dogs and they look fruit fruy, but they've got a
Speaker 1: they've got great personalities, and they're they're really sweet and
Speaker 1: kind of feisty, and they can be very they can
Speaker 1: be very chill when you want them to be. But
Speaker 1: also they'll run around and they'll hop up and down,
Speaker 1: and they can be fun. So I've become And of course,
Speaker 1: then for those of you who are saying book what
Speaker 1: about Obviously I love labs and Golden Retrievers, and I
Speaker 1: am even somebody who I like Rottweilers and mastiffs. And
Speaker 1: I've now I'm gonna get an trouble because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you the dogs that I'm just not a poodle person.
Speaker 1: You know, that doesn't mean I don't I dislike poodles.
Speaker 1: They're just very low on my list, along with boorzois.
Speaker 1: And you get some of these big, weird dogs I
Speaker 1: don't really understand, you know, Airdale terriers. You know, I
Speaker 1: don't know some different strokes for different like who goes
Speaker 1: to the who goes to a breeder? Is like I
Speaker 1: only want an Airdale Terrier, you know, those big dogs
Speaker 1: with the kind of funky looking face. I don't know
Speaker 1: who does that. See, this is what happens. You gave
Speaker 1: me talking about dogs and I end up ranting about it. James, Right,
Speaker 1: So this is what AOC and the others are the
Speaker 1: four horsemen of the apocalypse. Well, let's be fair horsewomen
Speaker 1: of the apocalypse, sir. Here we go oh, I was
Speaker 1: like this one, Chris buck love the show. You were
Speaker 1: wrong about Trump and the squad issue. While they might
Speaker 1: be US citizens, the point is their families fled from
Speaker 1: the holes they came from. They sure did a bang
Speaker 1: up job inculcating love for the country that harbored them.
Speaker 1: While of course they have First Amendment right, just goes
Speaker 1: to show that so many immigrants do not love this
Speaker 1: country and don't seem to do a great job passing
Speaker 1: on appreciation. Just the fact that so many bring their
Speaker 1: grievances against America with them and pass it from generation
Speaker 1: generation proves the point there is no pushback from generation
Speaker 1: that brought them here. The apple doesn't fall far from
Speaker 1: the tree. Well, I mean, Chris, if if we're looking
Speaker 1: at the facts of what the Trump tweet that caused
Speaker 1: all this, the facts of it are, I don't believe.
Speaker 1: I mean Anna Pressley her I think her parents were
Speaker 1: born in the US, and her parents parents were born
Speaker 1: in the US. AOC's parents were born in Puerto Rico,
Speaker 1: which is technically the United States. They're US citizens. Who
Speaker 1: else was on the list? Omar is the only one
Speaker 1: who really is who was originally a foreigner who became
Speaker 1: a US citizen, and then you have to leave who.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing her parents are immigrants, but I'd have to
Speaker 1: check and see they could have been born in this
Speaker 1: country too. I'm assuming there that she's first generation, but
Speaker 1: I don't know that, so I need to look into that.
Speaker 1: Um So, I mean, you're you're Chris, You're entitled to
Speaker 1: think that Trump's tweet was was just fine and spot on.
Speaker 1: I thought it was an unforced unforced error because these
Speaker 1: four have been saying so much stupid and terrible stuff
Speaker 1: that why why bail them out by making the focus
Speaker 1: something else? And it's not good to put yourself in
Speaker 1: a position whereas the president United States, you're saying something
Speaker 1: that people are gonna look that they call Trump racist
Speaker 1: no matter what. Right, that's not new. But you don't
Speaker 1: want to say, go back to where you came from
Speaker 1: when you're talking to uh, four minority women, three of
Speaker 1: whom we are from here. That's that's gonna be a
Speaker 1: tough one, a tough one to defend. Now, Trump isn't apologizing.
Speaker 1: He's he is on defense, but he's not apologizing for it.
Speaker 1: And that's his that's his choice. Um TJ. Buck for
Speaker 1: what it's worth and producer Mark, I listened to your
Speaker 1: podcast via Stitcher and it sounds just fine. The sound

Speaker 1: the sixty ninth governor two twenty nineteen. Okay, yep, I
Speaker 1: stand sorry, I stand corrected. Kasick is no longer a governor.
Speaker 1: There we go, alright, alright, Ohio. Hopefully this new guy
Speaker 1: Mike Dewin or is it Dwine? I guess it's Dwine.
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's a bit better. Um, we'll see. All right, guys,
Speaker 1: do me a favor. Unless you have something new on
Speaker 1: the podcast audio volume. Please don't no more. I'm reading
Speaker 1: through my entire inboxes podcast volume Tirades. I get it.
Speaker 1: We'll try to fix it. If the iHeart app fixes
Speaker 1: it for you, let me know that. Otherwise we'll look
Speaker 1: into this. Robert hey Buck, I get that Trump may
Speaker 1: have misspoke regarding the squad and that three of the
Speaker 1: four actually Americans because they're born here. Maybe he was
Speaker 1: suggesting that they shouldn't be Americans only because they were
Speaker 1: born here. This is what you get when you have
Speaker 1: unassimilated parents. Rashida to Leib is the poster child for
Speaker 1: the argument against birthright citizenship. Well, Robert, you know, there
Speaker 1: are interesting questions about assimilation that I think we're going
Speaker 1: to have to address in the years ahead, especially as
Speaker 1: you have an American Left, I mean, the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: that really doesn't view itself as it doesn't view assimilation
Speaker 1: as adherents for those who are new arrivals to any
Speaker 1: culture or way of doing things that already exists here.
Speaker 1: In fact, we're increasingly telling, or the left is increasingly
Speaker 1: telling immigrants, hey, you can do whatever you want. The
Speaker 1: way you do things or the way you approach things
Speaker 1: is fine, no need to be more like America. You
Speaker 1: can just bring your own version of America here with you,
Speaker 1: which is not That's not the way it used to be.
Speaker 1: I think that there's there's a real pressure here on
Speaker 1: our assimilation situation. But there we go, Sandy Rights, Yes,
Speaker 1: do not let the media get away with their propagandis
Speaker 1: Sandy not On my watch, there'll be none of that,
Speaker 1: Phil Rights. Buck Kasick is no longer governor of Ohio.
Speaker 1: That was good. Citizens of that state elected Mike Dwine
Speaker 1: last November. Phil Indeed, my bad, sorry about that. Sometimes
Speaker 1: Buck messes up, and he messed up on that one.
Speaker 1: So Yes, everybody. For the record, Kasik is not the
Speaker 1: governor of Ohio. Phil Wait, it was in Phil DeWine.
Speaker 1: I know some guy named Dwine is the governor of Ohio. Hmm,
Speaker 1: Mike Right's President Trump is a genius. Now Pelosi's gonna
Speaker 1: have to defend the squad. He's destroying the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: with all their help. Oh well, okay, I mean I
Speaker 1: think Trump has been under some pressure this week. We
Speaker 1: will have to we will have to see all right, Wow,
Speaker 1: there's even more, even more on the podcast volume Mark,
Speaker 1: can we I guess we're gonna have to do an
Speaker 1: experiment where we download the different versions of the podcast
Speaker 1: and listen ourselves and see. What do you think? I
Speaker 1: think that's a good idea. Yeah, I think we should.
Speaker 1: So I'll find all the different ways. Everyone, This is
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do. Good news is I don't have
Speaker 1: a life, so I'm going to figure this out and
Speaker 1: we'll download all the things. Cole, right, hey, Buck, just
Speaker 1: saw you on Fox. I like the beard. I listen
Speaker 1: you always and hadn't mind a bushy beard. Wish I
Speaker 1: could grow that, but I have too much Irish in me. Well, thanks, Cole.
Speaker 1: Now it's kind of a trim down just scruff situation.
Speaker 1: I had a bushy beard for like a month and
Speaker 1: then people said that I was I looked like I
Speaker 1: was starting to look a little too bin ladeny, so
Speaker 1: I got rid of it and now it's just down
Speaker 1: to the scruff. But some of the male audience does
Speaker 1: not like when I discuss my facial hair situation. So
Speaker 1: I'm just going to skip past that one team. That's
Speaker 1: gonna be it for the rest of well this show,
Speaker 1: but tomorrow they'll be a new show, which is exciting.
Speaker 1: I will talk to you then, Shields High
