Are we finally going to get the 21 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: answers we need about spying on the Trump campaign and 22 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: what some of those Obama administration holdovers were really plotting 23 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: all along. Plus the North Korea's summit. They're saying it's 24 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: in jeopardy, but are they just trying to root for 25 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: failure here? And a follow up to Starbucks deciding that 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: all of its various locations will be turned into the 27 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: equivalent of a public restroom in a bathroom. Uh, we'll 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: talk more about that coming up.

Welcome 34 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: to the Freedom, Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. An 35 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: honor of privilege and a pleasure. As always, it has 36 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: been been quite a week. We are we're seeing more 37 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: and more very interesting things come together here. After so 38 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: many months of coverage and discussion over just what the 39 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,119 Speaker 1: deep state was up to with regard to Trump, They're 40 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: running out of room to maneuver. I think they running 41 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: out of delay tactics, and I think they're also running 42 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: out of lies. That's gonna be very difficult for them 43 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: because there's really not that much more that they can 44 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: come up with and try to prevent us from finding 45 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: out the truth. Increasingly, it seems I think an inescapable conclusion, 46 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: meaning that you you could not look at this with 47 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: an honest mind, You could not look at this as 48 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: a person of integrity and come away thinking anything other 49 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: than Wow. There were very senior bureaucrats, That's what we're 50 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: talking about here, bureaucrats in the federal government who took 51 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: it upon themselves to bail out Hillary and stop Trump 52 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: at all costs. That's it. This should not be nearly 53 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: as controversial an opinion at this point as it seems 54 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: to be, considering that I think in the last election 55 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: you had of civil service donations, the federal government went 56 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: to Hillary or went or went to a Democratic theset 57 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: Hillary or Bernie. This is huge campus level ideological infiltration 58 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: and control. Once you start to see the federal government 59 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: through that lens of wow, you mean that most of 60 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: the bureaucrats who work in the federal government are in 61 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: fact pro Hillary pro doesn't mean all and I'm basing 62 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: this on donations to the campaigns everything. This is not 63 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: fool proof, but there's clearly a problem. There is clearly 64 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: a tendency among these bureaucrats to go for the party 65 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: of the state. The Democrat Party is the party of 66 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: the state. So if you are working for the state 67 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: in a big essense, if you are a statist ideologically, 68 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: it stands to reason that you would want to support 69 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: the political party that believes in enlarging the state, giving 70 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: it more authority, allowing to take more of people's tax dollars, 71 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: more of their stuff, and bind them with further regulation 72 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: on everything all the time. Right that the solution to 73 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: everything is government. The answer everything has to be a 74 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: government regulation, mandate, or law. So it's not surprising when 75 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: you start to extrapolate, when you start to think this through. 76 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: There are so many people that work for the government 77 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: that are really all about Hillary that she is. In fact, 78 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: they're preferred candidate. And that's the way that this went in. 79 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: At the very highest levels. You had former Obama administration 80 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: officials who were quite involved in all of this. We 81 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: now know that there was an actual human spy leveled 82 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: against Trump administration. I mean, that's been out there for 83 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: a few days, but it's increasingly clear. Oh but but 84 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: don't think that the Democrats, we're gonna come clune on 85 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: this until they absolutely had to write. You get Adam Schiff, 86 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: you know him. He goes on TV to just say 87 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: whatever the MSNB see watching Crab wants him to say. 88 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: Here's a little bit of a flashback too, before we could, 89 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: without any real doubts, say that there was some human 90 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: intelligence operation being run by the US federal government against 91 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: a presidential campaign. Here's what shift was saying about a 92 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: place too that's claimed by the present. Suggestion by Juliani 93 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: that there is a political spy embedded in the Trump 94 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: campaign is nonsense, and you hear it in the same 95 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: terms that Trump often speaks, which is people are saying, 96 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: or I'm hearing, or we're being told that's another way 97 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: of saying, this is patently untrue, true, but we would 98 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: like to spread it anyway. Uh. And it's singlely destructive 99 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: of our institutions. But then that's the point. These people 100 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: don't care about our institutions. As a means of supporting 101 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: principles of limited government, separation of powers, the Constitution. They 102 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: care about the stranglehold on the levels of hour in 103 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: the federal government in these institutions that the Democrat Party has. 104 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: That's what they can and they want to maintain that power. 105 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: They don't want to relinquish their grip on the levels 106 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: of control. What do we make now if people like shift, 107 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: he's what on the House Intelligence Committee? He's supposed to 108 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: know stuff? So is he just out there lying? Remember 109 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: whether it's Schiff or Clapper or Brandan, there are a 110 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: lot of these guys comey who have decided to make 111 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: a lot of public pronouncements about this that I've turned 112 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: out to be false, whether knowingly or not. We could 113 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: dive into the specifics, but they also could just be professionals. 114 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: They could just be quiet. You know, I promise you 115 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: you will never see General Jim Mattis in the months 116 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: after he leaves as Secretary of Defense, whether it's in 117 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: a year or in six going after the sitting president 118 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: United States, suggesting the sitting president United States is somehow 119 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: a trader, is untrustworthy, is a criminal? You know how? 120 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: I know that because the Secretary Defense is a warrior, 121 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: an honorable man, and a professional. But what does that 122 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: tell us about some of these Obama acolytes who are 123 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: acting like they've just been aspiring CNN pundits for you know, 124 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: their whole lives, and now finally they get the big job. Right. 125 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: Forget about being the Director of National Intelligence like Clapper, 126 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: forget about being the CIA director like Brannan, or the 127 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: FBI director like Comey. The job they really want is 128 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: to be patted gently on the head by Anderson Cooper. 129 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: Is to get an out of boy from Jake Tapper. Uh, 130 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: this is you want to talk about institutions, This is 131 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: destroying I mean ce IA, institution I used to work for, 132 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: is destroying these institutions. They are within the executive branch. 133 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: Another thing we have to talk about here. They are 134 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: within the executive branch. Does every president now have to 135 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: assume that if there's anyone who was appointed by his 136 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: predecessor from the other party, that he or she, as 137 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: a sitting president, may be subjected to the Trump effect 138 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: where anything goes leagues, criminal leagues. You know, as long 139 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: as it hurts the sitting president, people will do it. Brennan, Comey, Clapper. 140 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: They have a responsibility, a higher responsibility than just getting 141 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: a lot of retweets from left wing activists and the 142 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: mainstream media. They have a higher responsibility than being revered 143 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: heroes of the hashtag resistance. By the way, you know 144 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: who another revered hero the hashtag resistance was Schneiderman from 145 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: New York State. How did that go for you, Samantha 146 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: B and company? You know, Schneiderman as hero. Maybe people 147 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: need to slow their role a little bit, not buy 148 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: into the nonsense running some of these self serving, glorified bureaucrats, 149 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: which is what we are often dealing with here. So 150 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: with all of that said, now we now we see 151 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: that the Department of Justice, despite all the editorials and 152 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: all the stuff that's being said, is in fact under 153 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: the care and oversight, the authority and oversight of the 154 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: executive branch and Congress. I was seeing all this stuff, 155 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, from feine Stein and Brandon and all the 156 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: independence of the New York Times, washingtonst The independence of 157 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: the d J is is that at stake here? How 158 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: So Trump wanted to have a meeting yesterday. Christopher Ray 159 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: was their FBI director, Rosenstein the deputy By the way, 160 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's really a shame that not only the 161 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: Special Counsel but it's a shame that you had Jeff 162 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: Sessions attorney general. You know, you know, I like him. 163 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: We appreciate when Jeff calls in, but it's a shame 164 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: that he recused himself. I know you can say, Buck, 165 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: it was the ethical thing to do, but under the circumstances, 166 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: I think the ethics were a lot more complicated than 167 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: allow the Democrats to run a get Trump at all 168 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: cost campaign via the d o J and used the 169 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: Special Counsel's authority special Counsel's tools to get after Trumpet 170 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: all the rest of them. By way, I'm seeing this 171 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: year it just broke actually, I think while I'm on air, UM, 172 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen's business partner, Eve Guinny Friedman agrees to cooperate 173 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: as part of a plea deal. This is all coritesies 174 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: of CNBC. So Freedman is a Cohen's business partner. He's 175 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: agreed to cooperate with federal and state prosecutors. One is 176 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: under criminal investigation. So I'm trying to see if you 177 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: know this is about maybe the taxi stuff. We're not 178 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: really sure. Freedman was arrested last June on charges that 179 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: he and another business partner stole more than five million 180 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: dollars in state search charges that are imposed on taxi 181 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: rides in New York City, but the amount of taxes 182 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: he pleaded guilty to evading was much less than that, 183 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: just fifty dollars. So they must think that they've got 184 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: him on something against Cohen. Here's what I see happening. 185 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: Here's how I see this playing out. They're they're gonna 186 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: bring charges against Cohen most likely, and they're gonna have 187 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: nothing to do with Russia collusion. Once again. They're just 188 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: gonna get Cohen on something, and they're gonna turn around 189 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: and just say, see, he's a criminal, See he broke 190 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: the law. Trump where they're smoked, there's fire, all these 191 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: bad people, and then those of us were looking at 192 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: this with clearer eyes, we'll say, well, hold on a second. 193 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: Once again, you have a massive prosecutorial operation that is 194 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: looking for people to convict, that has near unlimited investigatory power. 195 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: If you've been in contact with Donald Trump in the 196 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: last ten years, you could all of a sudden find 197 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: yourself or his campaign, find yourself in the crosshairs of 198 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: this investigation. And they're racking up prosecution after prosecution for 199 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: non Russia collusion related crimes for for generally speaking, very 200 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: mickey mouse low level crimes, you know, lying about a 201 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: meeting or lying about a phone call or something. And 202 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: you cannot help but see this and compare it to 203 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: the treatment that Hillary Clinton and her cronies got from 204 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: this not just the same Department of Justice, but the 205 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: same people in the d J. So if people want 206 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: to play the Michael Cohen's a criminal, therefore look at Trump. 207 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: He has criminals around him, he must be a criminal too. 208 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: I just want to say Hillary was Hillary is a criminal, 209 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: and not just because of the emails. Folks. There a 210 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 1: lot of different ways I could have brought charges against Hillary. 211 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: The emails were just you know, this is the equivalent 212 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: of Hillary Clinton getting caught with, you know, a big 213 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: bag full of drugs somewhere and they're like, well, you know, 214 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: they're not she didn't really. Yeah she had the bag, 215 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: but it wasn't really her bag, you know, because somehow 216 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: somebody else had possession or something. I mean, they're just 217 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: refusing to force the law. So this is why they're 218 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna see the Cohen prosecution as all. It proves 219 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: everything we're saying. It's so dirty, and you and I 220 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: are gonna look at this and say, what what are 221 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: we even talking about here? TAXI cab uh, tax issues? 222 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: Who the heck cares? What does this have to do 223 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: with you or me? And by the way, anyone who 224 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: knows anything about prosecutors and their powers and their ability, 225 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: especially at the federal level, knows if they want to 226 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: get you, they can get you. It is very unusual 227 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: for somebody who has complicated business relationships and business dealings 228 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: to not be at least somewhat vulnerable just on the 229 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: tax issue if they want to make an example of you. 230 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: I know, I have a friend who was a federal 231 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: prosecutor for years and years and then was in private practice, 232 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: and he told me a story about a friend of 233 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: his who was facing three years in federal prison for 234 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: essentially attack shelter that not only did he think was legal, 235 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: but that he had legal opinions telling him were completely legal. 236 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: And a federal prosecutor goes, well, he's some rich guy. 237 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna make an example of him. Sorry, we read 238 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: the statute another way. Yeah, that's the reality of what 239 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: Muller and the rest of his team have at their disposal. 240 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: And so that's where the fact that they're gonna jam 241 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: up how In doesn't really mean anything other than they're 242 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: gonna ruin this guy's life if they can. That's what 243 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna do, unless, of course, well I was gonna 244 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: say Trump pardons In. But that's ah, that's why they're 245 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: getting the state prosecutors involved here. That's a that's an 246 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: interesting addition here. They're intentionally making sure that they're trying 247 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: to because sometimes there's a gray area because it's the 248 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: federal case is a state case. They're gonna make sure 249 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: they have some of this stuff ready to go at 250 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: the state level so they can hit him with charges 251 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: the president can't pardon him for you watch you watch 252 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: that's coming eight four four to five eight four Buck, 253 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: We have so much more team, stay with me. This 254 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: is a multi year effort that has two different fronts, 255 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: and people need to always remember that one front was protecting, 256 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: propping up, covering up for Bill and Hillary Clinton. The 257 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: other front, well, as as Trump became more and more serious, 258 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: the other front was to stop Trump at any cost. Now, 259 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: I believe that the reason you see people like Sally 260 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: hs Goberg Cirque, you see John Brennan gober cerc you 261 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: see General Clapper gober they're all guilty. When you see 262 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: somebody in the Obama team who gets that rattled and 263 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: is that angry, what you know is they're scared to 264 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: death that they're gonna get drawn into all this and 265 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: their role is going to come out and it will 266 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: involve I think felonies, and frankly, I suspect it reaches 267 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: to the President Obama. We've seen the less they come 268 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: up with, the more they investigate instead of the opposite. 269 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: And there doesn't seem to be a real concrete intelligence 270 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: origin for this investigation. And without a foundation, one wonders, 271 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: what did we spend an entire year on? What did 272 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: we disrupt? Everyone who was in the campaign, everyone who 273 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: was in the administration. And I think this thing is 274 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: just playing wrong. It's got to be ended and stopped. 275 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: Let's throw the dirt in there too while we're out 276 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: of play. Clip one, This was a legitimate investigator. I mean, 277 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: you have no evidence that it wasn't. Let's find out 278 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: there was ample evidence of collusion between Russia and the 279 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: Trump campaign. Now what you're saying is there was already 280 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: evidence of collusion, so it was legitimate to put on 281 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: an informer in the FBI. I want to know what 282 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: the evidence was. No judges found probable cause. I think 283 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 1: the American public has to be assured that there was 284 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: a basis. There's not enough for Jeffrey Tubman to say 285 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: there was collusion already at that time. I want to 286 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: know what the facts were to justify that they want 287 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: to hide the facts they want on this. I wrote 288 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: about this today on the Hill dot com that they 289 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: very clearly are trying to be in control of who 290 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: has access to the information that they then will turn 291 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: around and tell us, Oh, the stuff that we can't 292 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: show you is what our justification is for spying on 293 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: a presidential campaign. Folks, we're talking about now going on 294 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: two years ago. What are they holding onto this stuff for? 295 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 1: They're keeping this behind closed doors for sore is a 296 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: methods that's a lie. That's a lie. Classification is often 297 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: used by those in government who want to keep what 298 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: they've done out of public view. It's just the truth. 299 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: It's not supposed to be the case, but it often 300 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: is on any politically sensitive matter. It is a huge 301 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: temptation for the state, and that's what we see happening here. Um, 302 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: I'm completely and utterly exasperated with all of this. Oh, 303 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: the d o J doesn't have it, doesn't shouldn't have 304 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: to give over this information because because what they don't 305 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: want to. I'm sorry, Just because it may embarrass Comie Rosenstein, Yates, Brennan, Clapper, whomever, 306 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the American people don't have a right 307 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: to it. In fact, we have an even bigger right 308 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: to it. He's holding the line for America, Buck Sexton 309 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: his back. Yeah, it's inconceivable that President Obama could have 310 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: had this many things going on and not known it 311 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: because his administration was very controlling and very tight. And 312 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: I think we're going to discover all this stuff in 313 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: the end ends up at the Obama White House and 314 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: has the President and his senior staff's fingerprints all over it. 315 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: It's rapidly becoming the biggest and the most sobering political 316 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 1: scandal in American history. I gotta agree with Nude on 317 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: that one, at least on the Obama component of all 318 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: this stuff. We're going to find out that Obama was 319 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: way more involved in this than anybody up to this 320 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: point has been willing to say much out loud or 321 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: and we've been able to prove. But it certainly seems 322 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: likely that Obama is very involved. In fact, it seems 323 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: like it would be impossible for him not to be. Remember, 324 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: Brennan was very tight with Obama before he was CEI director. 325 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: He was Obama's counter terrorism czar. I don't like that term, right, 326 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: but Obama's kind of terrorism advisor at the White House. Uh. 327 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: The people that we've seen that are very much involved 328 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: in either the Hillary email investigation or the Trump Russia 329 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: collusion debacle, people ties to the Obama White House and 330 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: ties to Obama himself. There's just no way. And we've 331 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: seen some reporting on this. You know, they can only 332 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: shape the narrative so much. There's been some reporting that shows, oh, 333 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: this was being run through the White House. That's what 334 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: Peter Struck said and one of his text messages the 335 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: FBI agent when he was talking to his mistress Lisa Page. Right, 336 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: it's being running of the White House. M hmm. I 337 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: wish I had it with me. I don't right now. 338 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: But there's a whole analysis of how some of the 339 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: recent New York Times pieces and all the Russia collusion 340 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: stuff are in act riddled with errors, just riddled with them, 341 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: errors all over the place. Uh, and the kind of 342 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: errors that are intentional, right, making it seem like Struck 343 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: was suggesting there would be no leaks, when in fact, 344 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: the context of what he was writing to Page showed 345 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: that he was very worried about leaks or that he 346 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,199 Speaker 1: expected leaks about what they were doing. Looking at the 347 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: at the Trump campaign, this is all obviously very very political, 348 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: and it's it's amazing when you think about how Democrats 349 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: have chosen to fight on the battleground of Russia collusion 350 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: and the propaganda that surrounds it, instead of making this 351 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: an issue, making this about the I mean the issues. 352 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: It sounds like I'm, you know, running for local dog catcher. 353 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: There should be the issues, but running on policies that 354 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: are post Trump, they're really not concerns, particularly with non 355 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: Trump policies. Very hard for them to say much about 356 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: the economy, because the economy is better now than when 357 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: Obama was in office, full stop. Very hard for them 358 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: to say that the world's ending, because it hasn't ended. 359 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: We'll talk about North Korea, the summit. You know, people 360 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: are having so much fun analyzing something that hasn't even 361 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: happened yet. You know, this is turning into like the 362 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: five hour pregame analysis show before some of these football, 363 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: uh football games, you see where you're just like, Okay, 364 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: there's only so many ways you can talk about the 365 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: the game before. We just need to see what happens 366 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: in the game. I think we're entering that territory with 367 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: some of what's going on here on North Korea, but 368 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: I'll get to that in the next hour. Ah. This 369 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: is and I mean, does anyone really think at this 370 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: point we're not going to find out that there were 371 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: very senior Obama figures who were well aware of what 372 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: they were doing and we're working against, working against the 373 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: Trump campaign and using their government positions to get there. 374 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 1: I think it's just beyond obvious. Uh. Joe Di Genova 375 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: goes specifically after Yates, Brennan Comy. You guys all know this. 376 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: I've been saying Yates for a long time because what 377 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: she did with the you know, her role in the 378 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: whole Logan Act, General Flynn ambush, and you know, she 379 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: has been a partisan hit woman against Trump's people from 380 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: the get go and the whole Oh, I'm not going 381 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: to enforce the travel ban on select Muslim states, even 382 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: though she was the acting Attorney General, as she was 383 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: an Obama partisan. I'm you're gonna there's more from her 384 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: telling you she's not just angling for a CNN contributorship. 385 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: She's actually she is hashtag resistance through and through. But 386 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: Dijonova sees this in very similar terms to me play six. 387 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: She watched someone like Sally Yates complained about the rule 388 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: of law, when she and Brennan and Comy and others 389 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: destroyed the rule of law. It is going to take 390 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: a decade to rebuild the public trust in the FBI 391 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice. The disgraceful performance of her, 392 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: and of course even more disgraceful John Brennan, who led 393 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 1: a conspiracy against the campaign of the opposing party's presidential 394 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: nominee and then when he won, did everything they could 395 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: to frame him and his compatriots with false crimes. It 396 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: is the greatest political scandal in American history, and shame 397 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: on Sally Yates and shame on John Brennan. Very important 398 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: the I I think his whole rant there was bought on, 399 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: but very important point that he raises. You know, it's 400 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: one thing to play dirty, all right, it's not good. 401 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: Not okay. It's one thing to play dirty, it's it's 402 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: an even worse than though two as part of your 403 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: dirty tricks, trying to make it seem like somebody else 404 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: is the bad guy. Right. You know, if if you 405 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: want to, like, you know, break into the bank, that's bad. 406 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 1: But that's on you. If you weren't breaking the bank 407 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: and you're gonna pain it on somebody else, it's even worse. 408 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: And what we're seeing from those senior Obama figures, and 409 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: we should think of them in that context. These are 410 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: people that they're coming coming in out of the White 411 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: House all the time, they're briefing President Obama. What let 412 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: me ask you this question too, And I know we're 413 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: bounced around something. There's so much to cover your there's 414 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: so much to sink our teeth into. What issue in 415 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: the summer of twenty six, going into that election, mere 416 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: months from Obama's lame duck status, what national security issue 417 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: could have been more front of mind for Obama's national 418 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: security team. Then this effort that they're conjuring up of 419 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: Russia and Trump and all this, you're gonna tell me 420 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: that they weren't they weren't bringing this to Obama's attention. 421 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 1: I'll also tell you that if they were ever doing 422 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: any of that in the context of a PDB briefing, 423 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: for example, Presidents Daily briefing, you're you're never gonna find 424 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: out about that. No court will ever, no court will 425 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: ever force them to disclose it that they're gonna They 426 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: are ironclad with so so there is already a channel 427 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: built in for Obama's top intel people to fill him 428 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: in on all of this, and there is an absolute 429 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: zero percent chance of that being disclosed unless somebody in 430 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: the meeting decided to do that, and they would actually 431 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: be breaking the law. Notice how Comy and CNN and McCabe. 432 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: You know, they'll all talk about what they're briefing the 433 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: briefing President Trump on. There will be some discussion about 434 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: CNN needs a news hook, right, We've also seen that. 435 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 1: But there was a there was an ironclad channel for 436 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: covert communication between Obama's top intel officials and then sitting 437 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 1: President Obama that could have I'm not saying it did. 438 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't in the room, and we 439 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: have no way of finding out, but just understand that 440 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: it was wide open. There So this idea that Obama 441 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: wasn't informed of what was going on here, it's just 442 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: not plausible. It's just not plausible. Remember when d and 443 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: I Clapper wild goes are this should happen, are known 444 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: about it, I can deny it. You remember that whole thing. 445 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: Not the best Clapper impression, but you know close enough, 446 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: and uh, this is something that the president absolutely we 447 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: don't know about. Okay. But one other thing here. I've 448 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: been discussing this with you for the for the last 449 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: few weeks, and we're seeing it come to fruition, and 450 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: that is they are losing ground there. They're losing the 451 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: patience of the American people. I can't speak to the 452 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: crazy who just you know, they they think that, uh, 453 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: any day now that Trump is gonna get frog marched 454 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: out of the White House and he's like Putin's best friend. 455 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: And I can't speak to crazy, or at least I 456 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: won't speak to crazy right now. Sorry, Crazy, where where 457 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: you're doing? Um can't do it. I can't do it. Uh. 458 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: But I do know that for most Americans who are 459 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: paying attention to trying to be honest about what's going 460 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: on here, they are losing patience with all of the 461 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: shenanigans and the mistruth, the half truth, the the false explanations, 462 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: and just just all of this when it comes to 463 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: this whole investigation around Trump. I mean, if they don't 464 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: have something, now, are we really supposed to believe they're 465 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: they're going to find some bombshell in the next few months. 466 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: They've already go and through the financial records, they're interviewing everybody. 467 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: Why we all know they want an interview of Trump 468 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: so badly so they can force a perjury trap and 469 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: then create a constitutional crisis of can we can we 470 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: bring charges against the president for perjury that he should 471 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: not have been subjected to in the first place by 472 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: a subordinate government official and a subordinate agency, which is 473 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: what the Special Council is. Is this, you know, this 474 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: is what we think is really supposed to happen, or 475 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: this is good for the country. But they're losing ground, 476 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: they're losing momentum. They know that, and that's why you 477 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 1: have people like Lawrence Tribe. But by the way, is 478 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: he's a professor at Harvard Law School. Every time I 479 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: see this guy's name pop up and I see his 480 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: analysis right here, him speaking, I'm like, well, that's just wrong. 481 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: It's not even that he strikes me as incorrect so 482 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: much as just sloppy. But he can't really believe this. 483 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: Uh he's a rank partisan, no question about that. But 484 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: he understands that they've got to move fast on going 485 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: on offense. Democrats have to get on offense against Trump 486 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: soon because they are losing the initiative here because anyone 487 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: who's paying attention to saying this whole thing is not 488 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: working out the way that they said it would. But 489 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: here's how Laurence Tribe of Harvard University put this into words. 490 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 1: Play eight. If the evidence that Robert Mueller is collecting 491 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: forms a kind of compelling case that a overwhelming bipartisan 492 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: majority of the American people find convincing that this guy 493 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: is just too dangerous to keep in power, then we 494 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: do have the emergency power of impeachment available, But it 495 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: will be available only if we don't use it loosely 496 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: and kind of ring the bell every time something looks amiss. 497 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: You can't use it over and over again against the 498 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: same president. If you're gonna shoot him, you've got to 499 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: shoot the pill. Now. I know he's not making a 500 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: thread against the president as Harvard law professor. But we 501 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: all know that if it wasn't President Trump and you 502 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: went on TV and you said something like that, be 503 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble, right, Like, there'd be big problems, 504 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: probably gonna visit from the Secret Service, all that stuff. Right. 505 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: But with Trump, there's different rules. This is true, not 506 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: just what you say on TV. This is true with 507 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: everything with Trump. The rules are different. This is the 508 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: world we're operating in now. H Lie, cheat, steal, sell 509 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: your integrity, do whatever you want. As long as you 510 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: are against Trump, there are people who will come to 511 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: your defense. They will justify what you're doing. They will 512 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: have your back. So it's a dispiriting set of circumstances. 513 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: But on the upside, I want to give you a a 514 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: little positive here. Deep State can't hide that much longer. 515 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna get more of this information. We're gonna see 516 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: and and eventually what will become all too clear is 517 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: that it's not just that they exaggerated the case of 518 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: Russia collusion. They really fabricated it knowingly and willfully. That's 519 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: legal language that you use before you actual start charging people. 520 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: Just saying we'll be right back, play a team, my friend, 521 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: my specific concern deals with the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. 522 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: I think Mr Rosenstein is deeply conflicted. I think that 523 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: in many cases he is playing Jeff Sessions. I think 524 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions has been functionally, uh, you know, set off 525 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: into a corner at the Justice Department on these critical issues. 526 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: I don't think that there was a legal or factual 527 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: basis for his recusal, and I think that it's really 528 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: hurt the country. Oh man, you know, I like Attorney 529 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: General Sessions, but think about what would happen if you 530 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: had if you had somebody who took the approach as 531 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: attorney general for Trump, that say, Eric Holder took for Obama, 532 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: or Lauretta Lynch for that matter. But Eric Holder a 533 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: perfect example of this. Eric Holder's number one job in 534 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: his own mind as the Attorney General was to watch 535 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: Obama's back. Now you can say, Buck, it should be 536 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: rule of law, that's not I understand all that. But 537 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: Eric Holder was Obama's man at the d J right. 538 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: He he was his guy on the ground running things 539 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: and making sure that there were no legal threats to 540 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: the Obama white House. There were no legal scandals that 541 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: would that would come up that would be an issue, 542 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: and Trump doesn't have that. He got Rosenstein and a 543 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: Muller and a bunch of other so called comy you know, 544 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: former Republicans who are never Trump Republicans who are running 545 00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: amuck and causing real problems for the administration, real us 546 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 1: to the White House. It's not It's just not fair. 547 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: It's not right. And I kind of wish that there 548 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: was a a pit bull, a conservative pit bull, at 549 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: the top of the d o J who could get 550 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: involved here. I don't think any of us have any 551 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 1: doubt that if you had somebody who, I mean, what 552 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,439 Speaker 1: were they gonna pretend that the president's appointee doesn't try 553 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: to protect the president's interests. Come on, right, we're all 554 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: adults here. We all know, we all know how the 555 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: game is played, how this goes, I manage if you 556 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: had somebody I don't know, if you had Rudy Rudy 557 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: Juliani as the Attorney general, even maybe that wouldn't be 558 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: great for some other reasons, but wouldn't after wouldn't recuse 559 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: himself because of Russia collusion, that's for sure. And the 560 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: Rosenstein and and Mueller crowd have a much freer hand 561 00:35:53,760 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: then they otherwise would because Jeff Sessions a step aside. 562 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: And that's how you can have them stone stonewalling and 563 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: and slow rolling and engaged in all of this obfiscation 564 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: and bureaucratic you know, tiptoeing or tiptoeing around and pretending 565 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 1: everything has to be so secret because there's not somebody 566 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: to drop the hammer and say no, we're gonna get 567 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: the truth. I know they're having this meeting, you know 568 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: that they're supposed to get you a very top secret 569 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: meeting together, and they look at all this stuff. But 570 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if you saw d o J 571 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: still try to withhold someome information. In fact, what you've 572 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: seen in recent weeks is that Republicans who meet with 573 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: d o J half the deal with d o J 574 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: based leaks about the meeting afterwards so that the narrative 575 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 1: can get out there first. That's most favorable to the 576 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: anti Trump side. I mean this, folks, it's just all 577 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 1: a political food fight, it really is. And one side 578 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: is just been cheating the whole It's a political food fight. 579 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: On one side is acting like it's you know, uh, 580 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: an existential issue for the republic all the time. And 581 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: that's why they've started the fight. But man, they really 582 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: wanted Hillary to win. I guess I don't know. They 583 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: really can't handle trumps Um at all. We gotta speak 584 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: up North Korea coming up. It's not that much to 585 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: say about it, but I'll say what needs to be said, 586 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: and so I think you want to stick around for that, 587 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 1: plus maybe some Iran talk and a follow up on 588 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: Starbucks and it's public restrooms that's coming up. So I've 589 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,399 Speaker 1: got a story for you team. I just met our 590 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: new video editor today at the project I'm working on. 591 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: And do you know how we found this very talented 592 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,280 Speaker 1: young woman to come and work with us Zip recruiter 593 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: dot com.

I'm also somebody who doesn't have a whole 600 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 1: lot of patients for waiting through resumes that are no good. 601 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: But you know what, Zip recruiter has an algor of them, 602 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: so you don't waste time.

And frankly, 614 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: it has a chance to be a great, great meeting 615 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,240 Speaker 1: for North Korea and a great meeting for the world. 616 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: I will say I'm a little disappointed because when Kim 617 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: Jong un had the meeting with President she in China, 618 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: the second meeting, the first meeting, we knew about the 619 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: second meeting. I think there was a little change in 620 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: attitude from Kim Jong un, so I don't like that. 621 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: I don't like that. I will guarantee his safety. Yes, 622 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: we will guarantee his safety, and we've talked about that 623 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: from the beginning. He will be safe, he will be happy, 624 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:33,239 Speaker 1: His country will be rich, His country will be hardworking 625 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 1: and very prosperous. They're very great people. They're hard working, 626 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:43,799 Speaker 1: great people. Will the summit happen? As playing President Trump? 627 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: They're talking a lot about this whole North Korea situation, 628 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,760 Speaker 1: which I would know. Jimmy Carter came out and said 629 00:39:53,840 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: that Trump may, in fact, if he manages two a 630 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: great deal with North Korea, he would be worthy of 631 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 1: a Nobel Peace Prize, which I would also know that. 632 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: Trump has responded, I think already and said, you know what, 633 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: I think that the deal is the most important part. 634 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter he gets the Nobel Peace Prize. 635 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: But we're a long way from that. I've been telling 636 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,360 Speaker 1: you all along fifty fifty shot at best that the 637 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: meeting even goes well, meaning that there's anything that comes 638 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 1: out of it that we could care about or celebrate. 639 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: Most likely scenario, North Korea makes demands we refuse, they 640 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: keep their nukes status quo grinds on. That's what's most 641 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: likely happened. But if there's somebody who could break us 642 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: out of this, uh, this inertia, I think it would 643 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: have to be President Trump. If there's someone who is 644 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: able to take on the conventional wisdom, flip it on 645 00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: its head, shake it out, and make something happen here, 646 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: President Trump's is good as as good a case for 647 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: this as as anybody I think could be. So we 648 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 1: will see. I have to just note that the analysis 649 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 1: that comes out whenever there's even the most minor setback 650 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: in advance of these negotiations are just it's just all, oh, 651 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: Trump's you know, he's such a fool, he has no 652 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,479 Speaker 1: idea you Oh, here we go, Vanity fairer as a piece, 653 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: Trump is just a moron. How the President played himself 654 00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: on North Korea. Now you might say, any buck Vanity 655 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 1: fair who cares what they say about anything? And I 656 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 1: respond to you, correct, random team buck friend that I'm 657 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: pointing out here. But this gives you a sense of 658 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: where the media is on the issue of how this 659 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: summit with Trump is gonna go. Uh. They they would 660 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: like to see it not happen. They would rather North 661 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:03,720 Speaker 1: Korea continue to be a society it locked in totalitarianism 662 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 1: and violence and poverty and despair, then have an opening. 663 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: If that opening for North Korea entailed some kind of 664 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 1: proud moment for Trump himself, that's where we are with 665 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 1: all this, that's they're thinking. So I think that's problematic, 666 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,879 Speaker 1: and I think that it's worth pointing out that they 667 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 1: are rooting against the country. As I have said, now, 668 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with North Korea? We simply don't know. Uh, 669 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 1: they could change, you know, anything we agree to today 670 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,240 Speaker 1: could be changed tomorrow. Anything that seems like it's forward 671 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: progress now could be erased in a day. But they've 672 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: got to do what they can to set the groundwork. 673 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 1: And I think I was on Fox maybe last week 674 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 1: and I said that this is really a three per 675 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: It's really a three party negotiation. You could say it's 676 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 1: a four party negotiation. It's not Um and Kim Jong un. 677 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 1: It's not the US and North Korea. It's the United States, 678 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: North Korea, South Korea, China, maybe Japan gets in there too. 679 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: Those are the parties that are really pushing this thing 680 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 1: in a meaningful way, that have interest that will affect 681 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: the outcome, and China specifically, think about how this plays 682 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:28,720 Speaker 1: out for them. They really don't want a North Korea 683 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: that has elections. Think about the message that this would 684 00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: send inside of China. North Korea finally strikes some deal 685 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,440 Speaker 1: with America and over the process of a period of 686 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: a few years. I don't know, I'm just I'm moving 687 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: this thing forward down the line here. Right, over a 688 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: period or a few years, they have some form of 689 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: political liberalization. And this is fantasy land stuff, don't get 690 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: me wrong, but it's possible. Chinese have to be aware 691 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 1: of it. And then you have two you get your 692 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: first North Korean election, and there's also newfound prosperity and 693 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: rights and all the good things that come with rule 694 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: of law and a liberal society. Right, What the heck 695 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 1: is the Chinese Communist Party gonna say to Chinese citizens 696 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: at that point time? How's that going to look for them? 697 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: Because the whole oh yeah, we brought you prosperity, shut up, 698 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: which is what China China's Communist Party basically says to 699 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 1: the one billion plus people of that country right now, 700 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 1: you know, you better like our prosperity or else. And 701 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 1: that becomes a less sailable proposition. If North Korea all 702 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden goes from being this impoverished backwater to 703 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: a state that I'm not it's not going to turn 704 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: into Switzerland overnight, probably ever. But when you look at 705 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: what happened in South Korea, it's like an economic miracle. 706 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 1: Sure it took a few generations, but South Korea is 707 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 1: very advanced, very prosperous, you know, liberal the mock to 708 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: see all that stuff, same land, mass folks, same people, 709 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 1: same language. What's the difference in North and South Korea? 710 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 1: Political ideology, the political system, the state, that's the difference. 711 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: And if that so, that's already an experiment that the 712 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: Chinese don't particularly like. They prefer having a North Korea 713 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 1: that is dependent on them, that is under their thumb, 714 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 1: and that is a bulwark against American ideology, economic ties, 715 00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: everything else right there. They want a buffer, and North 716 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: Korea is the buffer. So so their interests in our 717 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: interests are not quite the same. And and China's hand 718 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 1: in all of this, everyone knows it's very important. I 719 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: get that. How are the Chinese really gonna play this out? 720 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they want to deal with America and 721 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: North Korea under any circumstances. I really don't um. I'm 722 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,800 Speaker 1: not sure you'd ever find that out in public, you know, 723 00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: I don't think the Chinese leadership will ever say it 724 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: like that. But China prefers the status quo. This is 725 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 1: a country that has a one child policy, a country 726 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 1: that does force sterilization, an abortion. I mean, China has 727 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 1: got a very Chinese governm's got a very dark soul. 728 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 1: There's a lot of really bad stuff that's going on 729 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 1: in that country in recent decades. It's been papered over 730 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,320 Speaker 1: with the massive increase in the standard of living for 731 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of people. And we know there are 732 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,879 Speaker 1: Chinese billionaires now, which must have seemed like crazy talk, 733 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, even twenty or thirty years ago. But the 734 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: character of the Chinese state is uh. It still needs 735 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of work, and it's something 736 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: that you can't discount when you're looking at how this 737 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: is gonna play out with Trump and North Korea and 738 00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: these other other parties that are involved here. They do 739 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: not feel bad that. When I say they, I don't 740 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: mean the Chinese people. I mean the Chinese Communist Party 741 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: doesn't particularly care about the suffering of North Korean people 742 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: at all. All they're thinking about is geopolitics, great game 743 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:09,720 Speaker 1: strategy stuff, and they do not want a unified Korean 744 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 1: peninsula that is pro American, pro Western and liberalized with elections. 745 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: That becomes a threat to the Chinese Party's group on 746 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 1: power that this this gets into some pretty scary stuff quickly. 747 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: So when Trump is saying that there's a second meeting 748 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 1: with Shijin Ping, and then after that meeting, Kim Jong 749 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:34,359 Speaker 1: LUN's approach, mentality, his vibe on all this has changed somewhat, 750 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 1: It's not surprising. And this is the you know, unknown 751 00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: unknown what was said behind those closed doors. What does 752 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: China really want here? That plays a huge factor in 753 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 1: all of this. With the negotiations, Trump understands that there's 754 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 1: economic incentive staffer here though, I mean they're there are 755 00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 1: ways to sweeten this deal. I think they're ways to 756 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: get around some of the hurdles. Here's what he said 757 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: about actually some of that economic liberalization. A play clip 758 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: nine South Korea, China, and Japan. And I've spoken to 759 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: all three one I happen to have right here. They 760 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,520 Speaker 1: will be willing to help, and I believe invest very 761 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 1: very large sums of money into helping to make North 762 00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:27,040 Speaker 1: Korea great now. People are given this, you know, they're 763 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 1: they're being really harder than President and all Trump wants 764 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,960 Speaker 1: to make North Korea great again, how do they expect 765 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 1: him to approach negotiations with a foreign power, foreign country. 766 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 1: This is a similar thing I see whenever it comes 767 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:40,840 Speaker 1: to Trump and poot is he just supposed to be 768 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: insulting all the time, just supposed to be nasty. Let's 769 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 1: talk about how how bad that country is. Terrible they are. 770 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: You know, that doesn't strike me as a productive strategy, 771 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as an effective way to go about 772 00:48:55,400 --> 00:49:01,280 Speaker 1: any of this. M play clib ten. Actually, North Korea 773 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: has a chance to be a great country. And it 774 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 1: can't be a great country under the circumstances that they're 775 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:09,959 Speaker 1: living right now. But North's career has a chance really 776 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 1: to be a great country, and I think they should 777 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 1: seize the opportunity. And we'll soon find out whether or 778 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: not they want to do that. He doesn't say they 779 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 1: have a chance to be a great country next week 780 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 1: or next year. But from what we see with South Korea, 781 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,440 Speaker 1: there's every reason to believe that if the political situation 782 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 1: changed in the North, that that they could be on 783 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: a trajectory to to prosperity and happiness and much better 784 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: stuff than what they've got right now, that's for sure. 785 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 1: But the media is piling on all make make North 786 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 1: Korea great again. You know Kim Jongo and the founding father, 787 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 1: he's basically George Washington. I mean, you know, this is 788 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,040 Speaker 1: the stuff that you can expect from a stuff you 789 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,839 Speaker 1: can expect from a left wing media that is really 790 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,320 Speaker 1: and thinks that Trump is a greater tyrant and a 791 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 1: greater threat than Kim Jong un. That would actually be 792 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 1: a fascinating study. I should probably just walk around k 793 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,239 Speaker 1: Street here. I should just walk around downtown d C 794 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: and ask people will be kind of a fun thing. 795 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,920 Speaker 1: Who is a bigger threat to world peace? And I 796 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't be asking like just anyone on any street in 797 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,640 Speaker 1: the country. This would be this is right near the 798 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 1: White House where all the shady swamp dealings are going on, 799 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,000 Speaker 1: or not all of them, but a lot of them. 800 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 1: Who do you think is the greater threat to world peace? 801 00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,800 Speaker 1: Trump or Kim Jong Gun? A lot of people with 802 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 1: high levels of education, high income earners, with political connections. 803 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: I wouldn't guarantee it, because that maybe gets wrong. I 804 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 1: would be willing to bet, though a lot of them 805 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,160 Speaker 1: would say it's Trump. Trump is a greater threat than 806 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: Kim Jong Gun. And if you ask who's more authoritarian, 807 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:56,000 Speaker 1: you might even get some random passers by on the 808 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,839 Speaker 1: street who vote for Clinton or Bernie Sanders to say 809 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: that Trump has a big authoritarian even than Kim John Gun. 810 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. I can't guarantee it, but I 811 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised. This is what Trump's arrangement syndrome does. 812 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: It disconnects people from the reality of what's actually going 813 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:15,239 Speaker 1: on in the world around them, particularly here at home, 814 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: where you gotta love this while all this stuff is 815 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 1: going on Russia, collusion, North Korea and all these different storylines, 816 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: and they're trying to just bash Trump, bash Trump all 817 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,520 Speaker 1: the time, saying that he intentionally has his staff put 818 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: typos in his tweets because you know, Trump people are 819 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,000 Speaker 1: so dumb the whole thing. You see this all the time. 820 00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 1: Now all that's gonna Meanwhile, I just saw a poll 821 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:42,240 Speaker 1: that GOP generic ballot at this stage mid terms looming 822 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,280 Speaker 1: doing better than Democrats, and as you know, the party 823 00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: out of power is supposed to do well in the 824 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:53,359 Speaker 1: mid term. You could see forget blue wave, you could 825 00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:58,239 Speaker 1: have a red surge, my friends, and it would make 826 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,479 Speaker 1: it would make perfect sense to me why that would 827 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,480 Speaker 1: be the case. I I show up to this this 828 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 1: uh studio, should I come into the Freedom and every 829 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 1: night and I'm just I'm ready to dive into the 830 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 1: arguments over policy that Democrats want, and they don't make them. 831 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: It's not happening. There is no effort right now in 832 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 1: the media to do anything other than discredit and destroy 833 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: Trump as a person and tear down his administration. They're 834 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 1: not offering better ideas, they're not offering better deals, they're 835 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 1: not offering new deals. They're just saying Trump is the worst. 836 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:35,359 Speaker 1: He's the worst, He's the worst. They've learned nothing since 837 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 1: nothing I even saw last night. Uh. I was just 838 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 1: looking at kill some time for a few minutes, let 839 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:49,240 Speaker 1: my brain rest. Turn on Comedy Central and the Trevor 840 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: Noah guy comes on a Comedy Central just not not 841 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 1: a funny guy at all. I mean, I wish somebody 842 00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:54,800 Speaker 1: would give me a job where I make millions of 843 00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,440 Speaker 1: dollars that I'm bad at. That sounds like fun. Uh, 844 00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: and then I haven't earned but you know, in the 845 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 1: way of being successful and then getting a big job. Uh. 846 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 1: They did something though, on how translators like U N 847 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,880 Speaker 1: translators and others don't like Trump. I'm like, oh, this 848 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 1: is great, guys, this is good. You should run this 849 00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 1: a campaign ads for the midterms. Foreigners who are doing 850 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 1: translation at the United Nation or just people in general 851 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,560 Speaker 1: who are doing translation at the United Nations, they don't 852 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,560 Speaker 1: like Trump. And you think this is worthy of a 853 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: comedy segment because they're making fun of what it's like 854 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 1: to translate what Trump says in real language. They've learned 855 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: nothing since. In fact, they've just doubled down on that failure. 856 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,359 Speaker 1: Eight four or four buck eight four, eight to five. 857 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,719 Speaker 1: Let's talk Iran and how that deal is gonna go 858 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,920 Speaker 1: coming up. I love canines of all shapes and sizes, 859 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 1: but you know they can all dig, and once they 860 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,919 Speaker 1: start getting under your fence, you've got a problem because 861 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 1: if they get outside, now you've got a safety hazard. 862 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: They can run out in the street. They could just 863 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,160 Speaker 1: run away, and now you've got to find your up. 864 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 1: Guess what, there is a solution for you.

Dig Defense Senator Schumer re leieves called 877 00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,320 Speaker 1: it a wet goodle solution. What's the White House's response 878 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 1: to that criticism. Like I've said a few times before, 879 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,160 Speaker 1: Senator Schumer is not somebody this White House is probably 880 00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: ever gonna take advice from on how to negotiate or 881 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: get a good deal on anything, particularly based on his 882 00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 1: track record and certainly I think his weakness when it 883 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:11,080 Speaker 1: comes to China. We finally have a president who's actually 884 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 1: uh calling out China on their unfair trade practices, and 885 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,400 Speaker 1: not just calling them out, but actually doing something about 886 00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 1: it and aggressively pushing forward in negotiations, something that we 887 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:26,400 Speaker 1: haven't seen uh in decades, And so Senator Schumer is 888 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,200 Speaker 1: probably the last person we would call and ask for 889 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,440 Speaker 1: on how to make a deal. It's not just Senator Schumer. 890 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of folks, A lot of 891 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 1: folks out there seem to think that they're in a 892 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:41,000 Speaker 1: position Democrats, they're in a position to give all kinds 893 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 1: of advice two Trump and his people about how to 894 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:52,440 Speaker 1: approach foreign policy issues negotiations. In general, the Obama administration 895 00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 1: was full of people who did not know what the 896 00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:00,239 Speaker 1: heck they were doing, did not have the experience that 897 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,400 Speaker 1: they would have needed to be good at their jobs, 898 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,799 Speaker 1: and was just full of a lot of a lot 899 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,720 Speaker 1: of happy talk and nonsense, a lot of resume puffery 900 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 1: without anyone actually being able to deliver the goods. I mean. 901 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 1: On foreign policy, the Obama administration was an abject failure. 902 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 1: You look at every region of the world with the 903 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 1: United States had an active national security interest. That was 904 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: a problem, and the problem got worse while Obama was there, well, 905 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 1: well while Obama was in office, not while he was 906 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 1: actually physically there. Libya worse, Syria worse, Iraq worse, Afghanistan worse, 907 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: Russia worse, China worse. I mean, I'm tell me where 908 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,399 Speaker 1: I'm going. Nigeria worse. If you tell me where I'm 909 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 1: going wrong, Venezuela worse. I mean, I could do this 910 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,080 Speaker 1: all day right, Mexico worse. Oh man, we're having fun, 911 00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:56,920 Speaker 1: We're really getting into it. But those former Obama administration 912 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 1: foreign policy brahmins are running around acting like they're the 913 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 1: ones that should be lecturing the current team about how 914 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 1: to get things done. What do they have to point 915 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,440 Speaker 1: to the Iran deal? Oh yeah, keep all your stuff 916 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 1: and we'll take the sanctions off and we'll just see 917 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:17,479 Speaker 1: how stuff goes in a few years. Great deal. Obama team, 918 00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,160 Speaker 1: everything else that it was a complete disaster. Didn't even 919 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:26,360 Speaker 1: get up to bat on Israeli Palestinian negotiations got nothing, 920 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. But they're on the sidelines now. Oh this 921 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 1: is so bad. They have no idea what they're doing. 922 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 1: Trump's falling on his face with North Korea. Please we 923 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: we we don't need to see team telling the A 924 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,800 Speaker 1: team how to get stuff done. And whether you think 925 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,600 Speaker 1: that Trump's approach works or not, we at least have 926 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,400 Speaker 1: to give him a chance to make it work right, 927 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 1: whether we at least have to see what the results are. 928 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: This is the guy that everyone said couldn't win the primary, 929 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 1: couldn't win the general, no chance of all that stuff, 930 00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 1: and somehow he did that. I think he's earned the 931 00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,680 Speaker 1: right at this point to have the benefit of the 932 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 1: doubt with the way he approaches complicated issues that people 933 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 1: say he can't fix, because he keeps fixing them. He's 934 00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 1: back with you now because when it comes to the 935 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. The tasks that 936 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 1: ran needs to undertake aren't that difficult. We asked them 937 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 1: to stop firing missiles into ri odd, This is not 938 00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,000 Speaker 1: It's not a fantasy to imagine the Iranians making a 939 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,280 Speaker 1: decision not to fire missiles into another nation and threatening 940 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,400 Speaker 1: American lives to travel through that airport. Um, it's not 941 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,560 Speaker 1: a fantasy to ask them to cease engaging in terror. 942 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:51,600 Speaker 1: If it was the case that some other country in 943 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 1: the Middle East desired to build a nuclear weapons system, 944 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 1: we would work to stop them too. Uh. These these 945 00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 1: are These are a set of simple requirements that the 946 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 1: Iranian regime could quite easily comply with. And it would 947 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 1: benefit the Iranian Iranian people to an enormous extent. Secretaria 948 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 1: State Pompeio I have to say, is I think one 949 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 1: of the bright lights of the administration in terms of 950 00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,280 Speaker 1: well knowledge as well as forceful personality, strikes me as 951 00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 1: a very sharp guy. I was very supportive of of 952 00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:24,760 Speaker 1: the move to put him not just at CIA, but 953 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:28,760 Speaker 1: then later on move him to Secretary of Defense. You know, 954 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,640 Speaker 1: he's saying, look, every needs to stop, and we means 955 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,680 Speaker 1: every we're talking about here exactly what we were discussing before. 956 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: Former Obama officials were like, oh no, the Irandio, what 957 00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:44,760 Speaker 1: are we gonna do. Every stop pretending like the Trump 958 00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:49,800 Speaker 1: admin requests or you could say demands, because there's there's 959 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,200 Speaker 1: teeth behind them. If they don't do them, that they're unreasonable, 960 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:59,479 Speaker 1: that they're unworkable, that there's just some major misstep that's 961 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,360 Speaker 1: at work here, because they're never gonna get what they're 962 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:10,240 Speaker 1: asking for. Asking Iran not to fire missiles, for example, 963 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 1: at at other countries in the region, asking Iran not 964 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 1: to make our life more difficult in Syria, in Iraq. 965 01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:23,720 Speaker 1: You know, this is not unreasonable because we actually hold 966 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 1: the cards here. We can make their economy flourish, or 967 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 1: we can make their economy anemic. We can not completely 968 01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 1: shut it down, but certainly put the damper on it. 969 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,240 Speaker 1: Their it's their choice up to them. Um. And everything 970 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,080 Speaker 1: that the US is now saying, everything that the Trump 971 01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 1: administration is requiring from the Iranian state, is completely within 972 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,120 Speaker 1: the balance not just of reason but ob sanity. Right 973 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 1: to not demand this stuff is or would be strange, 974 01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:00,919 Speaker 1: I think, to not insist on ballistic missile as part 975 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,400 Speaker 1: of the discussions with Iran over its nuclear program. To me, 976 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 1: it's just it's just silly, it really is. It just 977 01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,520 Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't make sense unless you're desperate for a deal, 978 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:14,640 Speaker 1: unless you're taking the Obama administration approach of showing up 979 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 1: and saying I'm not leaving here without a deal, which 980 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 1: is not good. It's not good, not a good approach. Pompeo, 981 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,400 Speaker 1: by the way, got some a little bit of heat 982 01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 1: from a reporter on this, and this is how, this 983 01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,640 Speaker 1: is how our secretary of State responded. Place seventeen. The 984 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,800 Speaker 1: demands or whatever you wanna call them, that you laid 985 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 1: out for Iran yesterday, it seems like there's partially because 986 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,960 Speaker 1: you've laid them all out, and partially because of what 987 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 1: they are, there's not going to be much room for 988 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 1: negotiation if any on any of those, would you agree 989 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 1: with that? And because of the way that was put 990 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 1: out there, what makes you think that Iran is going 991 01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 1: to be willing to work with the U S on this? 992 01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 1: If it's sanctions, wouldn't that take a very long time? 993 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 1: At this point, I don't know which of those demands. 994 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 1: Should we allow them to be harris that is that 995 01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,040 Speaker 1: one we should compromise on. Should wait? How many messiles 996 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 1: are they allowed to fire? I mean, the the answer 997 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,880 Speaker 1: is what the benchmark? The benchmark I set forward yesterday 998 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 1: is a very low standard. It's the standard behavior we 999 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:18,320 Speaker 1: expect from countries all around the world. Isn't this very 1000 01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:22,880 Speaker 1: trumpy and its approach? Forget about all the all the jargon, 1001 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,640 Speaker 1: all the group think, all the conventional this is what 1002 01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 1: the smart people do. Just look at what's going on. 1003 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,000 Speaker 1: What would a normal rational human being think of what 1004 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 1: Iran is doing the way that it acts as a state, 1005 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,520 Speaker 1: as a country, The answer would be, it acts terribly. 1006 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 1: Why can't we demand that Iraq, that Iraq, that Iran 1007 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 1: act like other countries act. We have leverage, we're negotiating. 1008 01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,960 Speaker 1: We're just saying, be a normal country, stop doing these things. 1009 01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:58,680 Speaker 1: How is that strange? Right? But notice that they're the reporter. 1010 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 1: I don't know which one that was, but the reporters 1011 01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 1: inclination here is like, oh my gosh, like they're just 1012 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 1: shutting down negotiations before they even happened. The Iranians are 1013 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 1: never gonna go for that. Yeah, that's why we put 1014 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 1: pressure on them so that over time they can make 1015 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:18,240 Speaker 1: a choice. They understand what's at stake, they understand what 1016 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,120 Speaker 1: the ins and outs youre are, and they can either 1017 01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,960 Speaker 1: suffer the consequences of refusing to play ball the way 1018 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 1: we want them to, or they can start to slide 1019 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,080 Speaker 1: into the community of nations and be more prosperous. But 1020 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:32,880 Speaker 1: you see, one of the problems here is that prosperity 1021 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,080 Speaker 1: for the Iranian people would mean the end of the regime, 1022 01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 1: and the regime knows that, right. If the Iranian people 1023 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:44,000 Speaker 1: were able to really fully integrate into the international community economically, 1024 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,440 Speaker 1: and the malocracy, I don't think would be able to 1025 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 1: withstand it. It's all. There's already a lot of opposition, 1026 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,560 Speaker 1: there's all. And now we start to get into the 1027 01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:56,280 Speaker 1: regime change discussion, which feels like it's tired and old 1028 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,120 Speaker 1: because people have been having it for thirty years, but 1029 01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,800 Speaker 1: or more than that now. But it's only tired and 1030 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,760 Speaker 1: old because it hasn't happened yet. Right, It would have 1031 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:08,920 Speaker 1: been a completely bizarre discussion to have regime change, that 1032 01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,760 Speaker 1: is in Egypt until about eleven. Then all of a sudden, 1033 01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 1: it felt pretty normal to have that discussion. It wasn't 1034 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 1: a whole lot of a warning, including for Mubarik himself. 1035 01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,880 Speaker 1: So I can see things changing here, uh, and I 1036 01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:29,600 Speaker 1: certainly hope that they do. But the administration just wants 1037 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:31,960 Speaker 1: I really do believe this. I think Pompeo and Trump 1038 01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 1: and the member of the members of the Foreign policy 1039 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,959 Speaker 1: team Bolton now is National Security Advisor. They just want 1040 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 1: to be judged on the results of the policies that 1041 01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: they're putting into place, and they want the leeway, they 1042 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: want the space to engage in negotiations with countries that 1043 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,960 Speaker 1: up to this point have stimy all efforts to get 1044 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,880 Speaker 1: them to do what we want them to do. Really, 1045 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,440 Speaker 1: North Korea or on I mean, I don't even talk 1046 01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 1: to you about the sham election in Venezuela that just happened, 1047 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 1: but yet another example of the problems of putting social 1048 01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:13,600 Speaker 1: justice and redistribution of wealth above basic human nature, rule 1049 01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:17,960 Speaker 1: of law, and capitalism. If you go back and look 1050 01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 1: at the art and the archives of what reporters were 1051 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:25,120 Speaker 1: saying and writing around twenty eleven about Venezuela, a lot 1052 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,439 Speaker 1: of yeah, they've got this all figured out, from people 1053 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,280 Speaker 1: who still think that they're smart, by the way, and 1054 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:33,440 Speaker 1: still want to give the Trump administration advice on how 1055 01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,120 Speaker 1: to deal with all these other countries. I'm talking to 1056 01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:40,840 Speaker 1: you about ultimately, how much does this really affect all 1057 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 1: of us? I try to always keep that in mind 1058 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:46,480 Speaker 1: you with these discussions. It's interesting, but I think the 1059 01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,760 Speaker 1: discussions that the media has about foreign policy, and I'm 1060 01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:51,600 Speaker 1: really curious about how many of you agree with me 1061 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:53,680 Speaker 1: on this. So this is one of these where I'm 1062 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,160 Speaker 1: asking for any of you who are with me, or 1063 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 1: if you think I'm way off on this one, let 1064 01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,800 Speaker 1: me know right right to me on Facebook. But I 1065 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:03,280 Speaker 1: just feel like the media elites I am not a 1066 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,720 Speaker 1: part of, although I am in the media. Uh, they 1067 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 1: love to talk about foreign policy because they think that 1068 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,760 Speaker 1: they get to sound smart when they do it. Most 1069 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 1: of them don't know a darned thing. They're complete clowns. 1070 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 1: But it's one of these areas where it doesn't really 1071 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,200 Speaker 1: affect all of us all that much. Very rarely is 1072 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 1: there a foreign policy challenger issue that matters your day 1073 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:25,560 Speaker 1: to day life. When I talk to you about healthcare, immigration, taxes, culture, 1074 01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,880 Speaker 1: things like that in this country, that's for all of us. Right, 1075 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,760 Speaker 1: that affects all of us. Know us foreign policy visa 1076 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,960 Speaker 1: I Iran, it could really affect us. We don't want 1077 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 1: to go to war. There could affect local oil markets, 1078 01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:41,320 Speaker 1: but probably won't. It probably won't, And I like to 1079 01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,960 Speaker 1: be honest about that too. This is a much more 1080 01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 1: an area of intellectual interest for a lot of us 1081 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:50,880 Speaker 1: than it is one that is dealing with imminent problems 1082 01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,280 Speaker 1: that all of us face day today. Right, you're not 1083 01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 1: worried about the I R g C kicking in your 1084 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 1: front door, and neither am I. So perhaps that's a 1085 01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 1: good way of putting all this in perspective. Speaking of 1086 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 1: perspective the culture, I mentioned that before Netflix, the Obama's 1087 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,440 Speaker 1: Why is this so important? I'll tell you? Coming up 1088 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:14,280 Speaker 1: threats of a boycott because Netflix, the streaming video giant, 1089 01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:21,280 Speaker 1: has UH signed a deal with Barack and Michelle Obama, 1090 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,720 Speaker 1: a multi year deal to produce original shows. Let me 1091 01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,760 Speaker 1: just first say that this goes to show you a 1092 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:33,840 Speaker 1: few things. One, apparently you don't need any experience in 1093 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:38,560 Speaker 1: TV to produce TV shows or they're just using the 1094 01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,840 Speaker 1: Obama brand to push these things, which is also quite possible. 1095 01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,680 Speaker 1: But this is a reminder through all of us, as 1096 01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:50,439 Speaker 1: I keep saying, culture is essential in the struggle over 1097 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,360 Speaker 1: our political future, and it's all going digital. The the 1098 01:07:54,640 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 1: cable networks are going to be losing market share. Cable 1099 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:04,280 Speaker 1: providers are gonna just turn into internet service providers, basically 1100 01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:08,800 Speaker 1: gonna be glorified technology companies that that give you Internet access. 1101 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,840 Speaker 1: And maybe they're gonna work very closely with some of 1102 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,960 Speaker 1: the major digital content providers like Hulu and Netflix and 1103 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, Hbo Go and all the all the rest 1104 01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:24,600 Speaker 1: of them. But having five channels, UH, and having a 1105 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 1: cable company decide what channels are on and what what 1106 01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:31,080 Speaker 1: channels aren't, I think that's going away and sooner rather 1107 01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:34,200 Speaker 1: than later, folks, not gonna be all that long. But 1108 01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 1: this is how the left re establishes the information dominance 1109 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,400 Speaker 1: that it had for decades. Almost unchallenged in the media 1110 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:50,280 Speaker 1: space by putting very prominent they're most prominent political voices 1111 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:55,559 Speaker 1: in the top positions of these digital content companies. It's 1112 01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,280 Speaker 1: so easy, right, This is where this is the the 1113 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:01,360 Speaker 1: unseen hand as to how is it that you have 1114 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,040 Speaker 1: so many liberal shows with such a clear left wing 1115 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 1: agenda that are getting greenland time and time again, and 1116 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:12,400 Speaker 1: they don't do well. It's not even like they're profitable, 1117 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:17,120 Speaker 1: but it's it's very obvious that there's an effort underway 1118 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 1: to to push this progressive content, to just keep pushing 1119 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,519 Speaker 1: it and pushing it. And you see now that it's 1120 01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:27,719 Speaker 1: because they understand this is how the game is played. 1121 01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:30,960 Speaker 1: They understand that when you bring in the Obama's and 1122 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,040 Speaker 1: put them in Netflix and start giving them shows, it 1123 01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 1: draws a whole lot of other social justice types to Netflix. 1124 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 1: But it also means that their entire the apparatus around 1125 01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 1: the Obama's right, a lot of their senior advisor types 1126 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:52,160 Speaker 1: and hangers on, fundraisers and bundlers. They can evolve in 1127 01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,559 Speaker 1: the entertainment side of things, and this is where they 1128 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,759 Speaker 1: create a space where they think they can win because 1129 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,840 Speaker 1: it's an uneven space that want to they don't want 1130 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:04,559 Speaker 1: to even playing field. They want Barack and Michelle Obama 1131 01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,640 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know, David Axel Rod and uh, 1132 01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, just go whoever, Valerie, Jared and the Clinton's, 1133 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,320 Speaker 1: and they want all these Democrat heavyweights to have their 1134 01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 1: hands in the entertainment side of media too, because you know, 1135 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,600 Speaker 1: you might want to make a show about I don't know, 1136 01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,760 Speaker 1: maybe uh Secretary of State who's too busy taking big 1137 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 1: donations from some of the worst countries in the world 1138 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,320 Speaker 1: for her quote foundation while she's not really paying attention 1139 01:10:33,400 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 1: to a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya, And you know, 1140 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:39,839 Speaker 1: you might want to do a whole show, a scripted 1141 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:43,639 Speaker 1: series about that. You're that's gonna get made at Netflix 1142 01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 1: with the Obama signed on. I don't think so. This 1143 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:52,280 Speaker 1: is why we lose on culture on these When I 1144 01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,200 Speaker 1: say we lose, I don't mean that they've won the argument. 1145 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm just saying this is why they have an advantage 1146 01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,640 Speaker 1: in these cultural arenas because they do they cheat, They 1147 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,799 Speaker 1: stack the deck. Well, the cheat too. They're not trying 1148 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 1: to have a may the best content win attitude. They're 1149 01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 1: trying to control the content so they can control the messaging. 1150 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 1: That's why the Obama is going there. Um is so 1151 01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:19,160 Speaker 1: it's so noteworthy. We we were starting to learn all 1152 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,519 Speaker 1: this folks, Facebook and Twitter and Netflix, and these are 1153 01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:29,559 Speaker 1: left wing outfits, left wing, dogmatically progressive, and they are 1154 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:36,600 Speaker 1: suppressing conservative information, messaging and thought for ideological reasons. They 1155 01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,280 Speaker 1: can say they're not, but they are. And that's why 1156 01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:43,160 Speaker 1: when I see here on a Business Insider the Obama's 1157 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:47,920 Speaker 1: claim it's unlikely that their programs are going to be 1158 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:55,160 Speaker 1: overtly partisan. But that's not that's just not true. Right, 1159 01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,360 Speaker 1: Even if they don't do a political show, they'll be 1160 01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 1: political decisions about what gets made in to a show. 1161 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:05,760 Speaker 1: There'll be political decisions about who who gets to be, uh, 1162 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, the next executive producer of of a show 1163 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,479 Speaker 1: that captures the imagination of a generation in this country. 1164 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,680 Speaker 1: Who who's in a position to get the budget from 1165 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 1: Netflix and other backers to spend tens of millions, maybe 1166 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 1: even over a hundred billion dollars on a season of television. Right, 1167 01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:25,960 Speaker 1: who's going to have that ability? Oh, that's right. The 1168 01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:32,080 Speaker 1: politically connected democrats who are being seeded into positions of 1169 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 1: authority and all these digital platforms, I wish I could 1170 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 1: say I have an answer, because we've got a long 1171 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 1: way to go before we can catch up to the 1172 01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,320 Speaker 1: facebooks and the Twitters and the Netflix. Is we don't 1173 01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,640 Speaker 1: have any conservatives running any of these things. And I 1174 01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 1: don't even want a place that is necessarily right wing. 1175 01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,560 Speaker 1: I would just like some of these digital platforms that 1176 01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,680 Speaker 1: are reaching so many people here in this country and 1177 01:12:57,760 --> 01:12:59,800 Speaker 1: around the world. But I'm first and foremost concerned with 1178 01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,120 Speaker 1: this country. I just want a place where I know 1179 01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 1: that it's not just completely and utterly stacked against us. 1180 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,920 Speaker 1: I don't I don't even need a playing field in 1181 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:14,679 Speaker 1: our favor. I just don't want it in their favor. 1182 01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,280 Speaker 1: And that that would be nice, that would be a 1183 01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:20,479 Speaker 1: step in the right direction. Uh, you know you had 1184 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:25,799 Speaker 1: you and Ambassador Susan Rice joined the Netflix board of directors. 1185 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,720 Speaker 1: Remember she took she took very good care of the 1186 01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:32,320 Speaker 1: Obamba legacy. National security advisor went on that went on 1187 01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,320 Speaker 1: the Sunday Show, lied about terrorist attack in Benghazi, said 1188 01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,720 Speaker 1: it was a protest, you know, but she knew. Democrats 1189 01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:44,000 Speaker 1: take care of their own. It's one of their more 1190 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:51,679 Speaker 1: impressive skills or decisions. But they have institutionally a very 1191 01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:53,479 Speaker 1: good record. They're kind of like the Lanisters and the 1192 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,080 Speaker 1: Lanisters and Game of Thrones. Lanisters always pay their debts. 1193 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 1: Everybody knows the Lanisters are dirt bags. But if you 1194 01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 1: do is something for the Lanisters, you're actually gonna get paid. 1195 01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:06,640 Speaker 1: You know, they always pay their debts. Very powerful Democrats 1196 01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:09,840 Speaker 1: pay their debts to those who carry water for the party. 1197 01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,640 Speaker 1: They really do. They go to bat for them, they 1198 01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:16,640 Speaker 1: protect them, and even if you take hits for the 1199 01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 1: Democrat Party that seem rough at the time, they will 1200 01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:23,439 Speaker 1: make sure you get on the boards of companies, which 1201 01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:24,760 Speaker 1: is one of the greatest gigs in the world. You 1202 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,160 Speaker 1: probably call in once a quarter at a conference, call, 1203 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,240 Speaker 1: make two or three grand, and it's this, this is 1204 01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 1: the best stuff you can get, right. That's that's another 1205 01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:39,240 Speaker 1: way they win. But that's a separate discussion. Don't ignore 1206 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 1: these uh left wingers who are running these organizations and 1207 01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 1: are now trying to merge the digital content culture with 1208 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:53,800 Speaker 1: our digital left wing political culture in this country, because 1209 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:56,320 Speaker 1: it is happening. It's happening right now, and it has 1210 01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:01,639 Speaker 1: really profound long term effects in the direction of politics 1211 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:03,599 Speaker 1: in this country as a whole. It really really does 1212 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:08,120 Speaker 1: UH speaking of left wing politics and trajectories and what's happening. 1213 01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:10,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what's coming up. You know what 1214 01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,920 Speaker 1: I've got for you. We're gonna follow up on Starbucks 1215 01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,320 Speaker 1: with its whole Let's turn our restaurants into bus depots 1216 01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,439 Speaker 1: of thirty years ago and see how that goes for us. Right, 1217 01:15:22,040 --> 01:15:26,639 Speaker 1: A lot of crack dealers and runaways and people evading 1218 01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:30,080 Speaker 1: the law. That's what bus depots were. Let's see what 1219 01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:33,320 Speaker 1: happens with Starbucks. The corporate office has decided they need 1220 01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:34,720 Speaker 1: to pay a little more attention to this. We'll get 1221 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,400 Speaker 1: into that a more coming up in a few Don't 1222 01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,439 Speaker 1: buy your coffee from a bunch of commies. Don't decide 1223 01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:44,160 Speaker 1: that you're going to be supporting social justice warriors just 1224 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,400 Speaker 1: because they promise you the fanciest fruit fruit brew.

It has been 1240 01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:43,280 Speaker 1: quite a ride, hasn't it discussed all kinds of things. 1241 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:44,720 Speaker 1: We cover a lot of ground here on the show, 1242 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:47,320 Speaker 1: but I want to spend some time on a on 1243 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 1: a follow up, if you will, something that's a little bit, 1244 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,560 Speaker 1: a little bit too different from what a lot of 1245 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:58,320 Speaker 1: other folks are talking about. I'm talking about the Starbucks 1246 01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:06,519 Speaker 1: bathroom and overall cafe usage policy. Now I gave them 1247 01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:11,280 Speaker 1: a hard time yesterday's you know. And occasionally occasionally I 1248 01:17:11,400 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 1: find myself without my k cuffs from Black Rifle, or 1249 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 1: without access to my Black Rifle coffee that I make 1250 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,799 Speaker 1: for colbrew, and I have to walk into a Starbucks 1251 01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:26,760 Speaker 1: location and actually I know the coffee is not bad. 1252 01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,280 Speaker 1: It's not great, but it's not bad, and check it out. 1253 01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,120 Speaker 1: So I'm familiar with how the Starbucks world functions. I 1254 01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,799 Speaker 1: know they even have an app now, and they're getting 1255 01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 1: fancier and fancier with their coffee. I think there's even 1256 01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:42,360 Speaker 1: like a super expensive not the bat guano coffee, which 1257 01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 1: is the most expensive in the world. That's a real thing. 1258 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,640 Speaker 1: By the way, producer Mike fact check me on it. 1259 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:53,360 Speaker 1: People pay extra money to drink steamy bat poop. It's true, 1260 01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:55,840 Speaker 1: like a lot of money, like thirty dollars a cup 1261 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,679 Speaker 1: for bat poop coffee. They don't call it that. Of course, 1262 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:03,040 Speaker 1: there's a mother. There's some other name you can uh 1263 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:05,640 Speaker 1: you can, Yeah, well we'll get you the name in 1264 01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:11,719 Speaker 1: a second point here is um point whild bat guano coffee. 1265 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,799 Speaker 1: You can actually you can actually get that on on eBay. 1266 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:22,200 Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, it's uh, I'm sorry, Yeah, there's a 1267 01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,280 Speaker 1: there's a few different ways to all right, I'm getting 1268 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:27,080 Speaker 1: off the rails here. I wanted to tell you about 1269 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:31,680 Speaker 1: this uh special coffee that you can drink, but it 1270 01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:36,920 Speaker 1: comes from is it civits or bats Civit coffee is 1271 01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:43,040 Speaker 1: really expensive. Anyway, Starbucks has this big issue with not 1272 01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,280 Speaker 1: wanting to be an exclude a place where there's any 1273 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 1: bias to exclude anyone. So they had this whole policy 1274 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,320 Speaker 1: they and not only does can anyone use the bathrooms? 1275 01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:54,000 Speaker 1: And I would note that's pretty much the policy already 1276 01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:56,960 Speaker 1: most places. If you go in and say you got 1277 01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 1: to use the bathroom, they're gonna let you use the bathroom. 1278 01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 1: And even if they don't, guess what, you can wait 1279 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,400 Speaker 1: till somebody goes in the bathroom, and then you can 1280 01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:07,599 Speaker 1: just go in when they're done, right when the door 1281 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,200 Speaker 1: is open. So it's not really a complex problem. But 1282 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:13,200 Speaker 1: show it's the chairman. And I gave him a hard 1283 01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:15,240 Speaker 1: time for this, and I'm certainly not the only one. 1284 01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:20,479 Speaker 1: He was in a position where he felt like he 1285 01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: had to take a dramatic action here to make sure 1286 01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:25,160 Speaker 1: it did not look like Starbucks was biased. So what 1287 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:28,160 Speaker 1: did he do? What do you do? Oh, that's right, 1288 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:32,200 Speaker 1: he said, Well, our new policy will be that you 1289 01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:34,120 Speaker 1: don't have to buy anything, and you can sit there 1290 01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,599 Speaker 1: as long as you want, you can use the bathroom, 1291 01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:39,640 Speaker 1: you don't even have to be a customer anymore. Effectively, 1292 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,600 Speaker 1: Starbucks gets turned into a public use facility like the 1293 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 1: local public library. Now a lot of you are probably like, wow, buck, 1294 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 1: my local public library, if you live in a city, 1295 01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:53,599 Speaker 1: is not a place you want to spend much time 1296 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,960 Speaker 1: and you don't want to be there alone. I'm just saying, 1297 01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,720 Speaker 1: you don't know what's gonna happen in there. Uh, and 1298 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 1: that's gonna happen with Starbucks. So now they've decided because 1299 01:20:02,960 --> 01:20:05,160 Speaker 1: of the backlash, because people like me were mocking them 1300 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:07,840 Speaker 1: for it, understandably, So this is a crazy This is 1301 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:11,720 Speaker 1: a crazy idea. The whole thing is nuts. They're like, well, 1302 01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,240 Speaker 1: now we're gonna have some policies. So here they go, Okay, uh, 1303 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:21,519 Speaker 1: you can't sleep and you can't do drugs. Those are 1304 01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:23,960 Speaker 1: the old those are the red lines. Now for the 1305 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,799 Speaker 1: usage of Starbucks thousands and thousands and thousands of stores 1306 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:32,080 Speaker 1: across the country. So short of those two things, it 1307 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:36,160 Speaker 1: is up to manage your discretion of individual locations. Remember 1308 01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:39,479 Speaker 1: they're not on a franchise model. They are corporate owned 1309 01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,360 Speaker 1: Starbucks is if it's a Starbucks, it's owned by the 1310 01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,960 Speaker 1: Starbucks corporation. So this isn't like you know, McDonald's, for example, 1311 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:51,000 Speaker 1: has a policy in place of letting individual franchisees. This 1312 01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,439 Speaker 1: is also a way to outsource the decision making risk 1313 01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,360 Speaker 1: here in case there's any bad press. Franchisees can decide 1314 01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,040 Speaker 1: do people get to hang out without paying or do 1315 01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:02,280 Speaker 1: they have to pay? It's up to them corporate McDonald's 1316 01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:05,479 Speaker 1: doesn't have to worry about it. But Starbucks has this 1317 01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:07,599 Speaker 1: whole model of you know, we're also a meeting place 1318 01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:11,439 Speaker 1: in a workspace. And and but I mean, the understanding 1319 01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:14,240 Speaker 1: has when you've got at least by over priced five 1320 01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:21,320 Speaker 1: calorie five dollar and fifty cent uh frappuccino before you're 1321 01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:23,479 Speaker 1: allowed to sit down for a long time. So but 1322 01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna make the problem worse though. Now they keep 1323 01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,000 Speaker 1: digging right there. They're getting themselves into a hole, and 1324 01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,840 Speaker 1: they won't stop digging, to keep on digging. And what 1325 01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 1: you see happening here is that they're doing this. And 1326 01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:39,920 Speaker 1: now they're trying to come up with a way to 1327 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,640 Speaker 1: put you know, some stop gap or some some guidelines 1328 01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:47,040 Speaker 1: in place so it doesn't just turn all these thousands 1329 01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:51,479 Speaker 1: of Starbucks locations into a glorified here. I mean, you 1330 01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:53,479 Speaker 1: ever been to a bathroom in a public park? I 1331 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:54,920 Speaker 1: don't know what it's like where you are. Some of you, 1332 01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:56,920 Speaker 1: I know, live in like lovely places where there's not 1333 01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,880 Speaker 1: that many people, and you know, your parks are really clean, 1334 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:01,680 Speaker 1: in your streets are really nice. Yeah, And I know, 1335 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 1: I know, give yourself a pad on the back because 1336 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm a city dweller from big cities run by Democrats, 1337 01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,800 Speaker 1: so everything is like filthy. That's public. I mean, the 1338 01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:14,160 Speaker 1: public stuff tends to be really gross. But I mean, 1339 01:22:14,200 --> 01:22:16,560 Speaker 1: I remember, even as a kid, if I had to 1340 01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:19,000 Speaker 1: use the restroom in Central Park or something, there weren't 1341 01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:20,960 Speaker 1: very many of them, but you go in and there 1342 01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,719 Speaker 1: was this smell. It smells kind of like you had 1343 01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:29,880 Speaker 1: walked into a a mausoleum and there were jars of 1344 01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:32,720 Speaker 1: thousand year old urine that had been sitting there just 1345 01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:36,960 Speaker 1: marinating for for millennia. And it's a smell unlike any 1346 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:40,360 Speaker 1: other I've ever really come across. You're not gonna have 1347 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 1: quite that in the Starbucks bathroom, but it's gonna be 1348 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,680 Speaker 1: pretty close if they keep up with this policy. So 1349 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,000 Speaker 1: now they say you can't sleep, you can't do drugs. 1350 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,960 Speaker 1: Guess what this is gonna lead to the First time 1351 01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:56,599 Speaker 1: a manager and tries to enforce the policy beyond someone 1352 01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:00,320 Speaker 1: sleeping or someone doing drugs, They're gonna get called out right, 1353 01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:03,400 Speaker 1: There's gonna be problems. And do you think that this 1354 01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,719 Speaker 1: is really going to stop someone who is a vagrant, 1355 01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,680 Speaker 1: let's say, from going in there. No, of course not, 1356 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,960 Speaker 1: because it's going to create a culture of no longer 1357 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 1: do you have to be a patron, you can just 1358 01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,360 Speaker 1: be a transient and use them as a location. I 1359 01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,240 Speaker 1: actually think this is gonna affect Starbucks is bottom line. 1360 01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:23,280 Speaker 1: And like I don't know any Starbucks stock. I'm not 1361 01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:25,559 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to, you know, get it going one 1362 01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 1: way or the other. But I think this is gonna 1363 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:30,280 Speaker 1: be a problem for Starbucks. Uh, you know, they're gonna 1364 01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:31,840 Speaker 1: have to They've got to walk this one back and 1365 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,120 Speaker 1: they've got there. What they're really trying to do is 1366 01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:39,000 Speaker 1: just keep this whole thing going for another week, you know, 1367 01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 1: keep it, keep themselves on the good side of the 1368 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,120 Speaker 1: social justice warriors, because once they've had their big diversity 1369 01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:47,600 Speaker 1: training day, then ever just gonna forget about it. And 1370 01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:52,360 Speaker 1: what really takes hold is the coffee addiction that America has. 1371 01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,760 Speaker 1: Because we are addicted to coffee. Don't even get me 1372 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,120 Speaker 1: started on this I'm addicted to coffee, I think, I mean, 1373 01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,960 Speaker 1: certainly to caffeine. Is it really possible that my two 1374 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,439 Speaker 1: favorite things to ingest in the planet just happened to 1375 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:07,000 Speaker 1: be coffee and chocolate. Red meat? Yeah, but there's only 1376 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:08,519 Speaker 1: so much red meat, you can you know, if I 1377 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:10,479 Speaker 1: was eating red meat five times a day, some of 1378 01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:12,600 Speaker 1: your like you'd be a hero buck. Yeah. No, I know, 1379 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:15,760 Speaker 1: but that's a little bit excessive. It might have something 1380 01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 1: to do with the caffe nation that that is part 1381 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:22,879 Speaker 1: of the process of drinking coffee and of eating chocolate. 1382 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:26,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I actually have a chocolate stash here. I'm 1383 01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,680 Speaker 1: currently bouncing around to hotels and airbnbs and things in 1384 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,880 Speaker 1: d C as I find a find more permanent accommodations, 1385 01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,719 Speaker 1: and I have to carry a coffee a chocolate stash 1386 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,360 Speaker 1: with me, kind of carrying my black rifle as a stash, 1387 01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:41,240 Speaker 1: and if need be, I gotta get coffee on the run. 1388 01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:45,160 Speaker 1: So there's a sense there. I just have a feeling 1389 01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:48,320 Speaker 1: that caffeine plays a role at all this. But that's 1390 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:52,599 Speaker 1: why it's such a successful business model. That's why Starbucks 1391 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 1: has been doing so well. There's no other substance that 1392 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:58,160 Speaker 1: people it's completely socially acceptable, and in fact, I think 1393 01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:00,519 Speaker 1: it does assist in productivity for lot of folks. It 1394 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 1: certainly does for me, show up, get ready, drink your 1395 01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:09,200 Speaker 1: coffee every day every day. And the personalization that goes 1396 01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 1: into it too is amazing. People have really specific, um, 1397 01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:20,120 Speaker 1: really specific needs when it comes to their coffee. Also, 1398 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:21,800 Speaker 1: what is it with the person that will be in 1399 01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:24,559 Speaker 1: the line and just thinks that they're the only one. 1400 01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the line where they have a little 1401 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,920 Speaker 1: stirs and the different milks which there should really only 1402 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:33,280 Speaker 1: be one milk. It's called milk, m I l k. 1403 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,040 Speaker 1: It comes from a cow and it's delicious and it's 1404 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:39,880 Speaker 1: good for you. Skim milk, as we know, it's just 1405 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,680 Speaker 1: water that's lying about being milk. And then you have 1406 01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:46,680 Speaker 1: almond milk, which is almond juice. It's fine if you 1407 01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:48,200 Speaker 1: want to drink it, but it's a juice, it's not 1408 01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:50,680 Speaker 1: a milk. And then you have soy milk, which is 1409 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:55,400 Speaker 1: just another that's just just poison. Soy milk probably gives 1410 01:25:55,479 --> 01:26:01,280 Speaker 1: us all well, gives the gentleman list into this what 1411 01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:06,280 Speaker 1: is uh known in course languages man boobs soy milk 1412 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:08,920 Speaker 1: is bad, bad, bad, increases estrogen. You don't want to 1413 01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,760 Speaker 1: be drinking soy milk. Um. I have no idea what 1414 01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 1: it does the ladies. But so if you want to 1415 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,240 Speaker 1: drink swy milk, go for it. But for dudes, soy 1416 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,240 Speaker 1: milk is bad. But there's always the guy in the 1417 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:21,439 Speaker 1: line for the coffee or or for the the the 1418 01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:24,080 Speaker 1: station where you get the milk, and the stirs. By 1419 01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:26,160 Speaker 1: the way, I'm not a big stir fan. I've I've 1420 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,519 Speaker 1: seen funky things happen to those little wooden stirs who's 1421 01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:33,719 Speaker 1: just so freaking slow, And you have to think yourself, 1422 01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,400 Speaker 1: how hard is this, buddy? Is this really? It's it's 1423 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,599 Speaker 1: eight am. You got a line of twenty people. We're 1424 01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:41,400 Speaker 1: all trying to get coffee before we get into our 1425 01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,519 Speaker 1: office or go to work. Is this your first? Is 1426 01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:45,400 Speaker 1: this really your first rodeo? Like? Is this the first 1427 01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,960 Speaker 1: time you've had to look for skim or half and 1428 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:51,080 Speaker 1: half or you don't know, But someone always assigns to 1429 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 1: go in super slow speed, kind of like the super 1430 01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,519 Speaker 1: slow speed that people want. A plane finally lands and 1431 01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,599 Speaker 1: they have to pull their luggage down from overhead the suddence. 1432 01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:11,320 Speaker 1: I'm growing fast as kidd I mean they slow motion, 1433 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,439 Speaker 1: slow motion the whole thing. Yeah, it's not that hard. 1434 01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:17,439 Speaker 1: You know your lugg you just pull it down. You 1435 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:19,519 Speaker 1: know where the milk is, pour it. Let's go, buddy. 1436 01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:23,599 Speaker 1: Time is money. Speaking of time is money, Starbucks gonna 1437 01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:25,760 Speaker 1: find out letting people sit in your facility all day 1438 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 1: and not spend any money, it's not good. It's not 1439 01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:30,640 Speaker 1: it's not gonna work out for the bottom line. So 1440 01:27:30,680 --> 01:27:33,120 Speaker 1: anyway they realize as a mistake, I'm wondering how they're 1441 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,760 Speaker 1: gonna back out of it. Um, Speaking of mistakes, a 1442 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:38,920 Speaker 1: millennial who's thirty who doesn't want to move out, what 1443 01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:41,679 Speaker 1: ends up happening? I'll tell you in just a moment 1444 01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,080 Speaker 1: before I get too deep into this analysis, I gotta 1445 01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:50,519 Speaker 1: start here. Uh, Producer, Mike and and Brandon, how old 1446 01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 1: are you allowed to be now and still consider yourself 1447 01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 1: a millennial? I mean that's I need to know. I 1448 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,719 Speaker 1: would like you both to weigh in. Mike, how old 1449 01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:01,200 Speaker 1: is the oldest millennial allowed to be? I would say, 1450 01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,000 Speaker 1: like it's a I've been told it's a gray line 1451 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,800 Speaker 1: because I have friends who are thirty five thirty six 1452 01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:09,920 Speaker 1: who fall in that range and refused to be millennials 1453 01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:13,599 Speaker 1: and say it's their choice not to be. See, I'm 1454 01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:15,479 Speaker 1: I always say I'm a Gray Beer millennial because I'm 1455 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:17,719 Speaker 1: at the absolute upper limit. I'm right there, I'm thirty six, 1456 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:22,200 Speaker 1: Brandon millennials, how old. See I kind of understand what 1457 01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:25,879 Speaker 1: Mike is saying. I'm thirty four. I consider myself a cusper. 1458 01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 1: I've heard that word before. I'm the cusp of gen 1459 01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,639 Speaker 1: X and millennialssper. Okay, that's what I tell myself. We're 1460 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,000 Speaker 1: we're kind of rejected by both the millennial and gen 1461 01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,519 Speaker 1: X communities. Guys, we're all we're all roughly the same 1462 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,160 Speaker 1: age here, so it's a little little sad. But anyway, 1463 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,760 Speaker 1: although Bruser Mike is a little more firmly gen X 1464 01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:44,200 Speaker 1: and the rest of us brand and we can high 1465 01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:48,800 Speaker 1: five each other. Nonetheless, gen X, gen Y, all these 1466 01:28:48,840 --> 01:28:51,240 Speaker 1: different things, they come together, and everyone always likes to 1467 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,559 Speaker 1: to pretend that the whatever the generation is that they're 1468 01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,760 Speaker 1: talking about is, oh, look at them, they're ruining this, 1469 01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:01,320 Speaker 1: or they're they're the worst right this, But sometimes it 1470 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,280 Speaker 1: does seem like millennials are kind of the worst. There 1471 01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 1: are some things that are specific to the millennial set, 1472 01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,799 Speaker 1: and it has to do with with liberals and social justice. 1473 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,720 Speaker 1: Worst almost always right. You never have some bad story 1474 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,200 Speaker 1: about a millennial who's like, I've been saving my money 1475 01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:20,759 Speaker 1: and like building houses and being a capitalist. It's always 1476 01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:25,240 Speaker 1: something about someone who needs a safe space, doesn't wanna 1477 01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 1: go out and actually have to earn a living. And 1478 01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:31,600 Speaker 1: this one we see here in New York State, my 1479 01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:37,000 Speaker 1: home state, is a perfect example of millennials gone wrong. 1480 01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:41,960 Speaker 1: A judge this is getting this is getting an attention 1481 01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:45,040 Speaker 1: all over the place. A judge has sided with parents. 1482 01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:51,560 Speaker 1: Check that out. Man parents in trying to evict their unemployed, 1483 01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:56,479 Speaker 1: millennial thirty year old son from from their family home. 1484 01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:59,880 Speaker 1: A judge has literally had to weigh in here for 1485 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,600 Speaker 1: oakes and tell a thirty year old that he's not 1486 01:30:02,760 --> 01:30:06,200 Speaker 1: allowed to just stay in the parents home. He's not 1487 01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:08,960 Speaker 1: allowed to continue to refuse to do anything, refuse to 1488 01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:12,280 Speaker 1: pay rent. This is crazy until you see a photo 1489 01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,080 Speaker 1: of the guy. And I'm telling you Daily Mail has 1490 01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:17,639 Speaker 1: this up. You've got to check it out. Because when 1491 01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:22,519 Speaker 1: you hear that a thirty year old dude refuses his 1492 01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:26,320 Speaker 1: parents multiple entreaties for him to move out, that he remember, 1493 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:27,960 Speaker 1: he won't pay rent, he won't do chores. He just 1494 01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:30,599 Speaker 1: wants to stay in his family home and refuses to leave. 1495 01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:32,920 Speaker 1: You're like, who would do such a thing? And then 1496 01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:36,400 Speaker 1: you see a photo and you're like, oh, that guy 1497 01:30:37,160 --> 01:30:42,000 Speaker 1: would do such a thing. Michael Rotondo, that is his name. 1498 01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:47,960 Speaker 1: Thirty Uh. He looks kind of like Yanni, not Laurel, 1499 01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:52,519 Speaker 1: but Yanni. He looks like a dude who, let's just say, 1500 01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:58,439 Speaker 1: is not exactly crushing it in the ladies department. And 1501 01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:03,720 Speaker 1: sure enough he refuses refuse. He's got super long. Here 1502 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,840 Speaker 1: is super long. He's kind of got a Gandalf thing 1503 01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:10,400 Speaker 1: going on, long Beard, and he won't leave. And you 1504 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:14,920 Speaker 1: read these different notices, right, you read these different things 1505 01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:18,600 Speaker 1: as parents. They note after note you are hereby evicted. 1506 01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:21,679 Speaker 1: Here is from us. So you can find a place 1507 01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:24,240 Speaker 1: to say that parents are desperate to get him out, 1508 01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:27,880 Speaker 1: and he won't leave. I've never heard of such a 1509 01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:29,880 Speaker 1: thing that this may be the most millennial thing ever. 1510 01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:31,679 Speaker 1: In some ways, I've never even heard of this before. 1511 01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,120 Speaker 1: But it reminds me of how we all go through this, 1512 01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:37,479 Speaker 1: all these I think I did. I don't know if 1513 01:31:37,520 --> 01:31:41,360 Speaker 1: all do you go through this life cycle where, of course, 1514 01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:43,720 Speaker 1: initially your parents provide for you to take care of you, 1515 01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,160 Speaker 1: to give you a home. Then you're a little older 1516 01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:48,360 Speaker 1: and you're just like, oh gosh, you know, you you 1517 01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:51,720 Speaker 1: want your freedom, you want your space. You know, you 1518 01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:54,080 Speaker 1: want to be able to spread your wings a little 1519 01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:57,559 Speaker 1: bit and not have not have their rules and their 1520 01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:00,400 Speaker 1: curfew and everything else. And then I feel like you 1521 01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,400 Speaker 1: move out and maybe it's before college, maybe it's after college, 1522 01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:07,800 Speaker 1: and you established this rhythm where you're like, yeah, you know, 1523 01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:09,920 Speaker 1: that's right, I'm out of my own. But after a 1524 01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:12,400 Speaker 1: few years, especially if you're like me and you're from 1525 01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:14,240 Speaker 1: a major city and you've had to have roommates and 1526 01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,800 Speaker 1: roommates and roommates, you're like, you know, man, it was 1527 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:20,960 Speaker 1: really nice living at home. It was it was great. 1528 01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:23,240 Speaker 1: You know, Mom is a really good cook, and uh, 1529 01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:25,960 Speaker 1: it's great food in the house. Like just the notion 1530 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,840 Speaker 1: of having good food to eat in the home that's 1531 01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,200 Speaker 1: just there for you. You take that for granted when 1532 01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 1: you're a kid and you're a teenager, you get in 1533 01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:35,120 Speaker 1: your twenties and thirties and all of a sudden, you're like, 1534 01:32:35,560 --> 01:32:38,400 Speaker 1: I have to grocery shop. That was one of the 1535 01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:41,120 Speaker 1: real moments. It hit me, by the way, when I 1536 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:44,400 Speaker 1: realized that if I did not, in fact go get 1537 01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:47,880 Speaker 1: toilet paper or paper towel, there wasn't going to be 1538 01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:50,320 Speaker 1: any this is I know it's a part of growing up, 1539 01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:54,880 Speaker 1: it's a part of the maturation process. But you know, 1540 01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:57,519 Speaker 1: you come to a point where you realized, Wow, I 1541 01:32:57,600 --> 01:32:59,280 Speaker 1: wish I could go back in time and tell like 1542 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:03,080 Speaker 1: four teen year old me, hey, buddy, none of this. 1543 01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm not that I was a rebellious kid, but you know, 1544 01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:07,680 Speaker 1: none of this. Oh man, I need my freedom and 1545 01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:11,479 Speaker 1: everything else. Like, enjoy it while you can, because well, 1546 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:13,240 Speaker 1: you don't want to be the thirty year old who 1547 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:17,519 Speaker 1: literally refuses to leave his parents home. This guy is 1548 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:20,720 Speaker 1: quite a piece of work. They actually described in the 1549 01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:24,800 Speaker 1: Daily Mail article failure Launch Syndrome, which I think was 1550 01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:28,760 Speaker 1: also a completely terrible movie with I want to say, 1551 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:35,760 Speaker 1: Matthew McConaughey and uh, Jennifer Aniston, maybe does that sound right? 1552 01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 1: I think that's right anyway, Failure to launch is a 1553 01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:43,559 Speaker 1: real thing. I didn't know this. Um, well, it's become 1554 01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:46,040 Speaker 1: a real thing. At least now doctors will diagnose somebody 1555 01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:47,920 Speaker 1: with a failure to launch. So you don't want to 1556 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:49,160 Speaker 1: be the three year old guy. But you want to 1557 01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:51,479 Speaker 1: appreciate the fact that, man, if you have parents and 1558 01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:53,800 Speaker 1: you have a family that run a nice home for you, 1559 01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:55,880 Speaker 1: it's comfortable, safe and warm, and you can just get 1560 01:33:55,960 --> 01:33:57,519 Speaker 1: to like hang out and go to school. That's a 1561 01:33:57,600 --> 01:33:59,760 Speaker 1: great set up. I can't really appreciate it when you're 1562 01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:04,560 Speaker 1: a kid. It But this guy, as I said, Yanni's 1563 01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:08,080 Speaker 1: stunt double that has to leave. You gotta see you 1564 01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,320 Speaker 1: gotta see this dude to believe it. It looks like 1565 01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:14,400 Speaker 1: he's he's out. The judge said that he is, in 1566 01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:17,240 Speaker 1: fact evicted. He tried to say that that the law 1567 01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:21,000 Speaker 1: was on his side and that he needs at least 1568 01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:25,599 Speaker 1: a six month at least a six month window before 1569 01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 1: he could be asked to move, which that that's obviously 1570 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 1: quite a bit excessive. So he's he's out. He is gone, 1571 01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:35,519 Speaker 1: all right. I know, I've got I've got roll call 1572 01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:38,240 Speaker 1: coming up, which I am excited to talk to you about. 1573 01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:41,080 Speaker 1: And I've I've got a little bit of science before that, though, 1574 01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:45,320 Speaker 1: What do women find attractive and what does science say 1575 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:48,599 Speaker 1: about eating eggs? I have the latest in these hot 1576 01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:51,880 Speaker 1: off the press's stories coming right up. Got good news 1577 01:34:51,960 --> 01:34:54,320 Speaker 1: for you, team. I like to be able to bring 1578 01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:58,600 Speaker 1: you good news. This goes in the oh wait, you 1579 01:34:58,720 --> 01:35:01,120 Speaker 1: mean the stuff that you've been hold for a long time, 1580 01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:09,200 Speaker 1: isn't true? File? Eggs are delicious. There are many different 1581 01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:12,800 Speaker 1: ways to eat eggs, as you know. I've been on 1582 01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:18,880 Speaker 1: television one time showing America how to make eggs great again. 1583 01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:24,479 Speaker 1: But we were for a long time in a position 1584 01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:29,280 Speaker 1: where we were told that they cause heart disease, that 1585 01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:33,720 Speaker 1: they are bad for cholesterol, and that you should really 1586 01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:38,559 Speaker 1: limit your intake of eggs and in fact choose things 1587 01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:47,640 Speaker 1: like cereal and other high carbohydrate, high sugar breakfast alternatives. 1588 01:35:48,400 --> 01:35:52,680 Speaker 1: This is the exact opposite of a good idea. But 1589 01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:55,920 Speaker 1: I have some science here to back up what I'm saying. 1590 01:35:56,680 --> 01:36:01,320 Speaker 1: This courtesy of Royter's, the major news our service. People 1591 01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:06,640 Speaker 1: who eat an egg just about every day have a 1592 01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:09,599 Speaker 1: lower risk of heart attack and stroke than individuals who 1593 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,200 Speaker 1: don't eat eggs at all. This is based on a 1594 01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:19,680 Speaker 1: large study out of China. China, as Trump says, Uh, 1595 01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:25,000 Speaker 1: you had forty four hundred two or thirteen adults in 1596 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:28,200 Speaker 1: their fifties part of this survey, very very big survey, 1597 01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 1: and on average they ate a half an egg daily, 1598 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:39,160 Speaker 1: About nine of them avoided eggs altogether eight roughly egged day. 1599 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:43,479 Speaker 1: And the good news is eating eggs is better for 1600 01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:46,720 Speaker 1: you than not eating eggs. So there you go. There 1601 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:49,479 Speaker 1: you go, folks. I'm just wondering where they're going to 1602 01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 1: do a huge study of bacon to prove the truth 1603 01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:55,720 Speaker 1: that we already know, and that is that bacon is 1604 01:36:55,760 --> 01:37:01,080 Speaker 1: not only delicious, but in reasonable quantities is good for you. 1605 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:05,040 Speaker 1: That's one bit of science today. I got another thing 1606 01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:08,720 Speaker 1: on this on the science side that I wanted to 1607 01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:13,640 Speaker 1: share with you, and that is what do this is 1608 01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,400 Speaker 1: according to science? This is not like my opinion right 1609 01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:19,400 Speaker 1: later in the show. Sometimes I like to just talk 1610 01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:21,479 Speaker 1: to you about the science e stuff out there. You know, 1611 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:23,720 Speaker 1: what are the people in the lab coats doing all 1612 01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:27,000 Speaker 1: the fancy calculations. What are they coming up with? Here's 1613 01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:32,200 Speaker 1: what we since found out. Science tells us that what 1614 01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:39,360 Speaker 1: women find most physically attractive is Now, I'm gonna leave 1615 01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:42,560 Speaker 1: you hanging there for a second, because I feel like 1616 01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:45,519 Speaker 1: there are a lot of different things that you might 1617 01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:47,519 Speaker 1: have tossed into the mix. There are a lot of 1618 01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:53,680 Speaker 1: different possibilities you might think to yourself, you know, a 1619 01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 1: great head of hair, a winning smile, a square set jaw. 1620 01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:02,559 Speaker 1: These are the things that women find attractive. But if 1621 01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:04,679 Speaker 1: you thought all those things, you would in fact be wrong, 1622 01:38:05,120 --> 01:38:12,120 Speaker 1: because according to science the study this is the Royal 1623 01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:20,160 Speaker 1: Society uh Journal Open Science Journal said that a man's 1624 01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:25,920 Speaker 1: the length of a man's legs in proportion to the 1625 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:31,360 Speaker 1: rest of his body is in fact a single most 1626 01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:36,600 Speaker 1: important indicator of whether females will find him attractive. This 1627 01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:40,960 Speaker 1: was a study. Roots study says wrote, got it right, buck. 1628 01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:46,559 Speaker 1: Women don't care about men's elbows or knees, and male 1629 01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:51,880 Speaker 1: arms are generally sidelined their relative their relative length to 1630 01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 1: the male body had no effect on a woman's pulse, 1631 01:38:55,760 --> 01:39:00,200 Speaker 1: but when it came to legs, hearts would race if 1632 01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:04,320 Speaker 1: they look to be close to half the male figures height, 1633 01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:09,120 Speaker 1: a little more, a little less, and the women's eyes 1634 01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:13,120 Speaker 1: began to wander. I don't know how this is possible, folks. 1635 01:39:13,240 --> 01:39:16,840 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I've never consciously, and of course 1636 01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:20,880 Speaker 1: I'm male looking at females, but I've never thought, oh, 1637 01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:23,759 Speaker 1: the ratio of leg to the rest of the body 1638 01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:26,840 Speaker 1: is what I'm really looking for here. So this has 1639 01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:30,280 Speaker 1: to be some subconscious stuff. This has to be the 1640 01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:33,519 Speaker 1: kind of thing that you're not aware of, but it's 1641 01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 1: influencing the way you perceive things. I don't know, Ladies, 1642 01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:41,160 Speaker 1: you tell me, I guess tall, dark, and handsome. It's 1643 01:39:41,200 --> 01:39:44,679 Speaker 1: really just tall and proportional to the rest of the body. 1644 01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:48,680 Speaker 1: That's what that's what's supposed to be exciting. I don't know. 1645 01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:52,479 Speaker 1: You look at all the different standards of beauty across society. 1646 01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:55,040 Speaker 1: I I thought that we had already settled with the 1647 01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:58,439 Speaker 1: science that it has to do with the proportionality of 1648 01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:01,519 Speaker 1: the face, and that's how people determine whether or not 1649 01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:05,479 Speaker 1: they find somebody physically attractive. And there's all this science 1650 01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:09,400 Speaker 1: and research, by the way, about how physical attraction has 1651 01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:16,560 Speaker 1: roots in genetics and passing on well, I mean that 1652 01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:18,880 Speaker 1: all makes sense, right, but but also with with health 1653 01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:24,640 Speaker 1: and passing on gender information that is likely to be 1654 01:40:25,400 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 1: good for the next generation. They've done studies to show 1655 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:31,760 Speaker 1: that men are more attractive to women who for having 1656 01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:36,120 Speaker 1: a greater level of testosterone, and that that's also that's 1657 01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:38,000 Speaker 1: where you get the whole square jaw and I think 1658 01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:41,200 Speaker 1: deeper set eyes. And there's a few things about that 1659 01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:45,679 Speaker 1: that manifest themselves physically, that testosterone does to the male 1660 01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:48,400 Speaker 1: body that women tend to find more attractive, even though 1661 01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:51,599 Speaker 1: it is also the case that men with higher levels 1662 01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:55,920 Speaker 1: of testosterone are more likely to cheat, more likely to 1663 01:40:56,000 --> 01:41:01,240 Speaker 1: get divorced, and more likely to get into a fight. So, ladies, 1664 01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,120 Speaker 1: if you're wondering why do you like those bad boys 1665 01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:07,919 Speaker 1: so much, turns out it's uh got a biochemical origin, 1666 01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:12,760 Speaker 1: and it has to do with what you find attractive 1667 01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:16,920 Speaker 1: versus what will be what kind of mail will be 1668 01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:20,920 Speaker 1: the best mate, the best protector and provider for children. 1669 01:41:21,040 --> 01:41:24,640 Speaker 1: So the genetic material component of it is in a 1670 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:30,680 Speaker 1: state of um contradiction, so to speak, or is in 1671 01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:35,439 Speaker 1: a state of tension with the behavioral aspects of the 1672 01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:39,000 Speaker 1: greater testosterone. So no, see a little little nerdy science stuff. 1673 01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:42,439 Speaker 1: I like to work that into the conversation sometimes. Bottom line, 1674 01:41:42,560 --> 01:41:45,439 Speaker 1: eggs are good for you, says science. Bacon is good 1675 01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:48,360 Speaker 1: for you, says Buck. And you want your legs to 1676 01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:51,200 Speaker 1: be roughly in proportion of your body, which sounds like everybody, 1677 01:41:51,280 --> 01:41:54,360 Speaker 1: but that's what they're telling me. All right, roll call 1678 01:41:54,680 --> 01:42:04,400 Speaker 1: up next. The show ain't over yet, folks, it's time. 1679 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:09,240 Speaker 1: Oh man, it was so sad today. I wanted to 1680 01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:12,599 Speaker 1: try something different than what I always have for lunch 1681 01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:15,800 Speaker 1: around here, which tends to be I'm not gonna lie 1682 01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:17,320 Speaker 1: to you. I found a place that serves bacon and 1683 01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:20,560 Speaker 1: eggs all day, and so I just have baking and 1684 01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:22,920 Speaker 1: eggs for lunch a lot of the time. But I 1685 01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:25,519 Speaker 1: went into a place today that makes b bim bop 1686 01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:29,519 Speaker 1: and I'm all excited. It's a Korean dish, usually rice space. 1687 01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:32,000 Speaker 1: You get some kim chi in there, exciting things, a 1688 01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:34,360 Speaker 1: little little egg on top. I'm thinking, I'm gonna like 1689 01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:36,880 Speaker 1: this be bimbop. And then I look at their gluten 1690 01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:40,160 Speaker 1: free menu at this place, and it's b bim bomp 1691 01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:43,479 Speaker 1: without the protein. Only protein you can have as an egg. 1692 01:42:43,479 --> 01:42:46,600 Speaker 1: And I already have eggs every day. No Korean barbecue, 1693 01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:51,280 Speaker 1: no chicken, no pork. It's a sad day for me. 1694 01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:53,559 Speaker 1: So that was my disappointment. But you know what makes 1695 01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:58,519 Speaker 1: me excited hearing from all of you, my wonderful team Buck, 1696 01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:01,600 Speaker 1: all of you folks weighing in with your thoughts on 1697 01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:06,080 Speaker 1: all the latest here.

So I will remind us Mike 1707 01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:40,920 Speaker 1: John Buck to get a more and an email commensurate 1708 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:42,719 Speaker 1: with the level of our show as and it's actually 1709 01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:46,680 Speaker 1: the company we work for.

One thing I keep catching myself doing is 1715 01:44:03,280 --> 01:44:06,679 Speaker 1: reading it in Buck's voice. When the war story starts 1716 01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:09,720 Speaker 1: getting intense, the Buck voice comes out, just needs some 1717 01:44:09,840 --> 01:44:12,920 Speaker 1: sound effects to go with it.

I pretty much have the first ten years 1753 01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:36,479 Speaker 1: of The Simpsons memorized. That being said, the cryptic references 1754 01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:39,840 Speaker 1: to your coming announcement reminds me of the Gabbo is 1755 01:46:39,960 --> 01:46:43,600 Speaker 1: Coming commercials that were used to drum up anticipation for 1756 01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:47,600 Speaker 1: an audience to compete with Krusty. Sorry for the esoteric, 1757 01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:52,639 Speaker 1: esoteric reference, Daniel, I, I'm familiar with Krusty the clown, 1758 01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:59,080 Speaker 1: and I think that gosh I was gonna say Frasier Crane, 1759 01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:02,840 Speaker 1: but his actual name was Kelsey Grammer is fantastic in 1760 01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:06,160 Speaker 1: that role. Uh when he right? Because isn't he the 1761 01:47:06,240 --> 01:47:10,320 Speaker 1: actual voice of Krusty that you know? Actually I sound 1762 01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:14,519 Speaker 1: like Moe the bartender there. What are you doing? Alma? 1763 01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:17,519 Speaker 1: That was actually pretty good off the top of my head. 1764 01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:21,280 Speaker 1: But I don't know about gabbo is coming, so I 1765 01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,040 Speaker 1: will have to check it out. But thank you very 1766 01:47:23,160 --> 01:47:29,960 Speaker 1: much for writing Monica up next. You are so uh 1767 01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:34,200 Speaker 1: you are so correct on gut feelings about people. Bad 1768 01:47:34,240 --> 01:47:38,280 Speaker 1: apartment story. We moved everything we owned, Okinawa. I had 1769 01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:42,080 Speaker 1: a bad feeling about the landlord, no lease. Move was 1770 01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:45,280 Speaker 1: last minute, paid rent for a few months, and got 1771 01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:49,759 Speaker 1: a postcard in the mail from the actual owner addressed 1772 01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:52,800 Speaker 1: to the guy I was paying rent to, saying he 1773 01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:56,360 Speaker 1: hadn't paid rent for three months. Had to move again, 1774 01:47:56,640 --> 01:48:01,360 Speaker 1: shields I from team buck Okinawa. Yeah, Monica, I've made 1775 01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:03,360 Speaker 1: some of the mistakes with apartments, but you know, it's 1776 01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,240 Speaker 1: so much easier as you go on in life when 1777 01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:08,120 Speaker 1: you have more experience, maybe even have a little more 1778 01:48:08,600 --> 01:48:11,519 Speaker 1: financial resource at your disposal. Because when I was looking 1779 01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:13,679 Speaker 1: for apartments in New York in d C, I don't 1780 01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:16,280 Speaker 1: have any money. And when you don't have any money, 1781 01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:18,000 Speaker 1: you and when I mean when I say I don't 1782 01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:20,000 Speaker 1: have any money, I'm not talking about like thirst on 1783 01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:23,880 Speaker 1: hal the third money. Oh I'm smacking around blows with 1784 01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:27,479 Speaker 1: a hundred dollar bills. No. I mean, you know, my 1785 01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:29,679 Speaker 1: first and last month rent to move into an apartment 1786 01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:31,160 Speaker 1: was like all the money I had in the world. 1787 01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:34,519 Speaker 1: So if I got it wrong, I don't have any money. Uh, 1788 01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:36,719 Speaker 1: that makes it a bit a bit harder. That raises 1789 01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:39,240 Speaker 1: the stakes a little bit. But yeah, that gut instinct 1790 01:48:39,280 --> 01:48:42,639 Speaker 1: about it's not just about the management company, the landlord 1791 01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:46,120 Speaker 1: or the owner about the place too. When you walk 1792 01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:49,400 Speaker 1: into a place, you get a feeling about it, and 1793 01:48:50,000 --> 01:48:54,160 Speaker 1: you don't want to ignore that feeling. You really should. 1794 01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:58,160 Speaker 1: I mean, look, if there's some specific reason why, you know, 1795 01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:01,880 Speaker 1: as soured you want a place, that isn't relevant. You know, 1796 01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:05,479 Speaker 1: if you walk in and there's like another couple looking 1797 01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:07,640 Speaker 1: at the apartment or something, or the house, well, that 1798 01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:10,519 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad place. It might 1799 01:49:10,560 --> 01:49:12,280 Speaker 1: actually mean it's a great place. You just need to 1800 01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:16,040 Speaker 1: get get a perspective on it. Anyway, I don't ignore 1801 01:49:16,080 --> 01:49:19,080 Speaker 1: that gut feeling. You know. My dad always says don't 1802 01:49:19,120 --> 01:49:22,599 Speaker 1: ignore your instincts, and that's true. It doesn't mean obey 1803 01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:24,720 Speaker 1: your instincts all the time. It just means don't ignore them. 1804 01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:27,360 Speaker 1: Be aware of them, be aware of the feeling you're getting. 1805 01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:35,040 Speaker 1: Next up here, William, who writes, Uh, you just read 1806 01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:38,280 Speaker 1: one of my messages.
