Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody, 11 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for being here. We got a 12 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: lot to talk about today, as always, just some raking 13 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: news for you as we go to the airwaves here, 14 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: there is this shooting at YouTube, at YouTube headquarters out 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: on the West Coast in California, and so far from 16 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: what we're seeing, it is a female suspect who was 17 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: who is now dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound. 18 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: So she committed suicide, but not before she shot four people, 19 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: none of them based on the reporting so far, fatally, 20 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: but so far law enforcement sources. They held the press 21 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: conference right before we went onto air. They're saying they 22 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: believe this was a female targeting her boyfriend perhaps and 23 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: perhaps an ex boyfriend. I don't know if this would 24 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: be qualified as a possible but what would have been 25 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: called years ago at least a crime of passion. We 26 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: we don't have those details. We just female shooter. She 27 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: is dead. Shot For people, they are at the hospital, 28 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: but police said that they are being treated for their 29 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: wounds and they are expected to be okay. And that's 30 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: all we have. So you can imagine, though, shooting at YouTube, 31 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: all all of the the wheels started turning in everyone's minds. 32 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is I think, not only is 33 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: this a way to seize a tremendous amount of attention 34 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: because of the high profile of YouTube, there could also 35 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: be some messaging here about, you know, attacking the platforms 36 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: that are spreading other messages. And everyone was very spun 37 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: up right from the get go. But it looks like 38 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: this is just, uh, you know, a terrible situation. But 39 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: only the shooter is dead. So that's the good news, 40 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: as much as you can say there's any good news 41 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: in a situation like this. Nobody else has been killed, 42 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: and it's certainly nothing along the lines in terms of 43 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: casualties and and and the the horror that we have 44 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: seen in well some weeks back, this is a very 45 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: different situation. Police have the whole campus, the YouTube campus, 46 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: on lockdown, and they're gonna be giving us updates. If 47 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: we have anything beyond that, anything new throughout the course 48 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: of the show, we'll certainly tell you on air what 49 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: we've got, but for now, so, a woman who went 50 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: after her boyfriend not even clear if I don't know 51 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: producer Mike did did we know if she was even 52 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: trying to hit other people or did she just did 53 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: she draw down on her boyfriend and hit by standards, 54 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't that That's the one thing I would want 55 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: to know because why would she you know, if it 56 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: was about her boyfriend, why is she shooting other people? 57 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he was in he was at a party, right, Yeah, 58 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: the first report was there. It happened at a party 59 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: at YouTube, so she might have she might have just 60 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: essentially snapped or gone after him, pulled out a weapon 61 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: in a crowded space and just started firing hit him 62 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: and some other people. Doesn't seem like this was a 63 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: a premeditated mass shooter scenario where somebody was trying to 64 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: just commit you know, mass casualties and plan it all 65 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: out like what we've seen. You know, she didn't come 66 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: in with a rifle, two bags of of magazines, you know, 67 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: pipe bombs and a flakfest on it. She she came 68 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: after her boyfriend from what we know. So if I 69 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 1: have any more on this for you, we'll let you know, 70 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: but for now, because it was it was dominating the 71 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: news cycle for the hour before we went on the 72 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: er because everyone assumed shooting. But we don't have much 73 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: more on that, So let's get into the the the 74 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: other big news of the day, or that the continuing 75 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: story that we're falling very closely here, and that has 76 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: to do with the the immigration showdown that's happening, where 77 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: the illegal immigration showed on that's happening. You have this 78 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: caravan of people, which was estimated a little over a 79 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: thousand people. They've walked hundreds of miles from Central America 80 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: on their way to the United States through Mexico, and 81 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: as I pointed out to you, Mexican government, at least 82 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: until today, was letting them walk through, even though Mexico 83 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: enforces its own borders and has immigration laws that it 84 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: has no compunction about following through on it is trying 85 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: to or it is doing it was doing nothing, and 86 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: now we have a situation where it looks like that 87 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: may have changed. But here's the President said earlier today 88 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: on this caravan of illegals. Although it's interesting they're really 89 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: asylum seekers because technically we're gonna get into this. We've 90 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: got an expert in immigration law joining us later on 91 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: to discuss. But technically there it's it's a caravan of 92 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: asylum seekers. That's what you'd call it. Here's what Trump 93 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: said about it. Though now the caravan doesn't irritate me, 94 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: the caravan makes me very sad that this can happen 95 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: to the United States, where you have thousands of people 96 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: that decide to just walk into our country and we 97 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: don't have any laws that can protect it. And the 98 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: wall because of the Democrats, has been delayed. But it's 99 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: very sad to see it, and it's sad even from 100 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: both sides. It's sad for the people in the caravan, 101 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: and it's sad for the people of the United States. 102 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: It's really sad that we don't have laws that say 103 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: we have a border and if you don't do it 104 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: legally you can't come into the United States. To me, 105 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: that's a very sad thing for the people of the 106 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: United States. As I was saying, I mean the president 107 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: is correct in uh, he's not. How do I put 108 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of how to how to say this. 109 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: His arts in the right place on this one, or 110 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: he's correct in substance but not on the specifics. There 111 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: you go, meaning that it is crazy that this is 112 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: what the law currently is for migrants from Central America. 113 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: They can just show up and claim asylum, but that 114 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: is the law that the Republican controlled Congress has done 115 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: nothing to change. That is just how much more frustration 116 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: can we manage before we just decide why do we 117 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: why do we even waste our time? Right? What's the 118 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: point of voting for Republicans if this is the situation 119 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: we're going to be in. I mean, there's only so 120 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: much that the president won't be able we'll be able 121 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: to do. I would know that it's not just Trump 122 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: who is obviously people like me, that a lot of 123 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: folks are opposed to this situation of the migrants approaching 124 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 1: the border. But even libertarian Rand Paul had to weigh 125 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: in earlier. The people that are marching up through Mexico 126 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: should be stopped at the border and they should be 127 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: sent back. We should not allow people to come into 128 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: our country and break the laws. I'm all for legal immigration. 129 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: Immigrants are buying large, good people, and I've added to 130 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: our country where a nation of immigrants. But we should 131 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: not allow people, particularly eleven hundred of them marching up 132 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: to basically sort of thumb their nose and say, well, 133 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: we don't care what your laws are, we're coming. They 134 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: should be opped at the border and sent home. If 135 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: it requires a change the law, we should do it. 136 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: But I think there is some leeway within the executive 137 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: branch that they may well be able to do this 138 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: if they want to. Isn't it isn't fascinating that you've 139 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: got someone from the legislative branch who's like, I mean, 140 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, we might do something. Trump might do something. 141 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: We gotta kind of see, you know, not too hot, 142 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: not too cold, just right here, you know, which is 143 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: it who's really in charge, who's supposed to be making 144 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: the call here about what to do? And I think 145 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: there's a huge opportunity that's being missed right now by 146 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: everyone who is on the side of the administration. I 147 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: think there's a big opportunity that's being missed, and it 148 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: is Democrats should be asked one after another, what do 149 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: you think about this? I mean, they should be pushing 150 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: as many Democrats as they can to answer, you know, 151 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: whatever it is. If it's the walking rocking around as 152 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: a reporter on Capitol Hill, and you know, I mean 153 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: mrs speaking, Mr Schumer, you know we're Senator Schumer or whatever. Oh, 154 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: Congresswoman Pelosi, what do you think? I hate that the 155 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,479 Speaker 1: fabric of America and they'll do the jobs that Americans 156 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: won't do. Uh. That that is good to get on 157 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: the record. Um that Democrats are really complicit and in 158 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: fact favor massive foreign and what's what's the right word. 159 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: You know, people are saying invasion. That's a bit strong, right, 160 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: Invasion implies military, but in a massive foreign intrusion into 161 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: US sovereignty time and again is too much. Remember this 162 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: is not the only instance of this. This is just 163 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: one that we're all aware of, and it's created something 164 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: of a of a political showdown. But there were I 165 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: I forget. I think the number of of youth border 166 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: crossings in the last year has actually been pretty high, 167 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: and we're we're seeing a surgeon people trying to get 168 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: across the border. And this is where I have to say, 169 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: we've seen the administration trying to negotiate on some of 170 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: these points with the Democrats. We do crossover, we do 171 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: cross over into territory where Republicans have to act here. 172 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: They can't just say, well, we couldn't get a deal 173 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: with the Democrats. Well, you know, we couldn't get a 174 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: deal with the Democrats. No, it has to be has 175 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: to be more than that, because we voted in a 176 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: Republican Congress, Republican h House and Senate, and we have 177 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: a Republican president. So they've got to be able to 178 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: do something here. But the dirty little secret of the 179 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: Democrat Party is they favor all this stuff. They're all 180 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: all about it, all about it. They think that this 181 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: is a great idea. The more impoverished immigrants, legal and 182 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: illegal from a third world, the better. And all of 183 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: your faculties of reason tell you that that's probably not 184 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: a good idea for the economy, for the welfare of 185 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: this country going forward, for our political cohesion. That there 186 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: is something about being American. It's not just you know, 187 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: you show up and you can do things that you 188 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: want to do. You can be a part of the economy. 189 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: Here there's something it's supposed to be more than that, 190 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: and Democrats largely reject that. So that's what we see 191 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: happening here and know with this h caravan, which by 192 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: the way, they have I believe, um Mexican authorities have 193 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: said that they are stopping them now right because of Trump. 194 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll see and we'll see how long that lasts, 195 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: and we'll see where all this goes. Trump has claimed 196 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: credit for the sidelining of this caravan in Mexico, but 197 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: we'll see. Um, if this in fact is going to 198 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: go away or not, my guess is no. My guesses 199 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: they will arrive at the border and and then we'll 200 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: start talking about, Okay, well where do all these migrants 201 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: end up going? Where do they show up? You won't 202 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: hear the stories about the migrants who are entering communities 203 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: or they have already been margarets in Central America, uh placed, 204 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: and they become part of MS thirteen that's been happening 205 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: all of the country for a few years now. You 206 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: won't hear those stories. So we'll have to keep following 207 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: this one. The media has done everything in its power 208 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: to suppress the truth about the opioid epidemic and its 209 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: ties to Mexico and the drug cartels. As you know 210 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: we've been discussing here with frequency, doing everything in their 211 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: power to suppress the truth about those who come into 212 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: this country claiming asylum and then go on to become criminals, 213 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: members of gangs. The youth crossings, unaccompanied youth that were 214 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: crossing the border, many of them are much older than 215 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: they say they are. They provide documentation, and that's how 216 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: we end up having nineteen year olds in the ninth 217 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: grade and some of these high schools who speak not 218 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: a word of English. That doesn't really help us, does it. 219 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: That's not a good thing for us, for America. Just 220 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: saying eight four four eight to five eight four buck, 221 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: talk a bit more about the immigration situation. Also, we've 222 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: got updates on the Mueller probe coming up later on 223 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: some follow up to the the media's spat with Sinclair all. 224 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: They're so upset about it, and they are just in 225 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: high dudgeon about the whole thing. We'll get into that 226 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: and uh, a whole lot more. And we've also got 227 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: an expert joining us on the specifics of immigration law 228 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: later on the show. Oh and Christian privilege is now 229 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: a thing that they're teaching people in school that there 230 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: making sure we get rid of crusaders as mascots too. 231 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: Don't forget at that. But it's got a lot more 232 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: to talk about, don't we, Christian privilege. I'll probably an 233 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: hour too. That's gonna get me fired up. Our team 234 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: hit a quick break, will be right back now. The caravan, 235 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: which is over a thousand people coming in from Honduras, 236 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: thought they were gonna just walk right through Mexico and 237 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: right through the border. As you know, and af there's 238 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: a phenomenal deal for Mexico. It's been a horrible deal 239 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: for the United States. We're renegotiating it now. And I 240 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: told Mexico yesterday that because of the fact that their 241 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: laws are so strong, they can do things about it 242 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: that hard to believe the United States can't. I said, 243 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: I hope you're going to tell that caravan not to 244 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: get up to the border. And I think they're doing 245 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: that because as of twelve minutes ago, it was all 246 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: being broken up. We'll see what happens. I don't mentioned 247 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: it before, but I think Mexico will actually use lethal 248 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: force for people to try to eagally cross its border 249 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: to the south, so they have very strict border control. 250 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: Larry in Ohio, what do you think about all this? 251 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: Enjoy your show, Thank you, Larry. Enjoy hearing from you. 252 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: What's up College? A couple of months ago and I 253 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: wrote President of Trump to forget that damn wall and 254 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: put military personnel down there to guard our southern border. 255 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna get there. We're gonna get into that discussion. 256 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: I finally heard out of the President Trump that he's 257 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: thinking about And another thing, put the pressure on Mexico. 258 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: Stop all commerce between Mexico and the United States. And 259 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Bill Ford wants to Bill Ford's in Mexico. I hope 260 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: he's got a good market for him because he won't 261 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: be shipping any to the United States. And also stop 262 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: hit him in the belly with finance. No. If we 263 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: would attacks the remittances, that would certainly have a big impact, 264 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: of big effect. It's one of the ways people have 265 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: I have talked about possibly paying for the wall. By 266 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: the way, remittances from Mexico from the US to Mexico 267 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: each year in the neighbor the fifteen to twenty billion dollars. 268 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: That's just money leaving the U. S. Economy going to Mexico. 269 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: Stop all mail mail from going to Mexico because he 270 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: llegals in here are sending billions of dollars back home 271 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: to their families. Stop postal commerce, all right, Larry wants 272 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: a lockdown. Larry, thank you for calling my friend.

He's also got 275 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: immigration thoughts. Hey, Jason, Hey a book. How's it going? Man? 276 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: All right, thanks for your call. Yeah, I was talking 277 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: to the guy to answer the phone. They're about sending 278 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: all the the immigrants over California because they're more than 279 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: welcoming over there and pretty much give them everything everything 280 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: they want. And uh. But the bigger issue that I'm 281 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: sitting here thinking about it and we look back what 282 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: we're doing is kind of I don't want to kind 283 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 1: of be a harbing jurything. But but past administrators, especially 284 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: Democrats because the folks eyes have been involved in doing it. 285 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: But but we've been messing around with other countries for 286 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: for decades and messing around overthrowing other people, UH, dictators 287 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: and such Olivia, Gadaffi, Killery and Obama over through Gadaffi, 288 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: and that's why Italy short was just pounded with immigrants 289 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: all across from across the Mediterranean. They lost eight hundred 290 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: people died in a in a boat trying to cross 291 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: the Mediterranean to get to Italy. Um. After that, they 292 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,239 Speaker 1: overthrew Gadaffi, they overthrew Um. They did the same thing. 293 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton did the same thing with I need, I 294 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: need a way to tie this all together, Jason, What 295 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: are you trying to tell me? Well, people are coming 296 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: up here trying to seek asylum from South and Central 297 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: America where they're starving to death. I'm not saying we 298 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: had a you know, the absolute hand in it. But 299 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats, Obama and Hillary and Bill Clinton and so forth, 300 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: even Bush, they didn't help you. I'm not I'm not 301 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: sure I see an intentional blowback situation here, Jason, But 302 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: I will give it some more thought about that. I 303 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: appreciate you calling in. We are going to talk more 304 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: about the military getting sent down to the border, and 305 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: then later on the show we'll have someone from me 306 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: an expert, uh, a friend Art Arthur from the Center 307 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: for Immigration Studies joining and then we'll talk about all 308 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: the other things too. That's all coming up. He's holding 309 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: the line for Amra buck Sex in his back so forth. 310 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: But dreamers, they have two options. One is to wait 311 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: for the courts to rule on this. The other one 312 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: is what they what they already called Plan B. And 313 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 1: Plan B is to wait onto and to see if 314 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to be re elected or not. 315 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: But for many of them, Donald Trump is not an 316 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: option right now. And you know, the real wallet right 317 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: now on immigration is called Donald Trump. Trump is the 318 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: wall Born Ramos, one of the most prominent, one of 319 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: the most prominent spokespersons out there for illegal immigration, and 320 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: it's really is kind of a nationalist in exile, right. 321 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: I mean, he's very much in favor all the time 322 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: of immigration from Latin America into America as someone who 323 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: is himself Latin American, though he lives in America. I 324 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: think he may have actually moved recently back. He's thinking 325 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: about moving back. I saw some story about that, but 326 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: doesn't advocate for this for you know, for other immigrants, 327 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: it's it's always just Latino immigrants, which I think is 328 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: interesting or why why why do we have that distinction? Um, 329 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: But then again we also are not allowed to ask 330 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: these questions. You know that you you start to really 331 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: get into the underlying themes here and you do analysis 332 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: beyond just the headlines, and you might run into some trouble. 333 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: I saw on one of the shows on Fox one 334 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: of the guests recently brought up a brought up a 335 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: book that I've actually read, and it is it is 336 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: considered a UM. It is a highly politically incorrect book. 337 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: We could say that it's called The Camp of the 338 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: Saints by Gen rests By, written back in the seventies. 339 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: The basic premise of the book is that Western civilization 340 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: or Europe in this case France specifically becomes overrun by 341 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: huge a huge wave literally on on enormous oil tankers 342 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: and cargo ships, but a huge wave, a flotilla of 343 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: like hunt of at the time I think it was 344 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: other hundreds of thousands or millions of people from the 345 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: Indian subcontinent. And you know that the book is that 346 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that are said that people 347 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: say are racist, and you know the author, and it's 348 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: popular among white nationalists of course, so but many of 349 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: the arguments. Um, I think Stein was Stein brought it 350 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: up on Fox a couple of days ago. He just 351 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: he just mentioned the book. I didn't even see the interview. 352 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: I just saw the headline on it. But many of 353 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: the arguments you hear from the different sides, and it 354 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: is interesting because they mirror the discussions that are had 355 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: currently about you know, the is there going to be 356 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: an impact on the culture? Oh, how could you ask 357 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: such a thing? That's so racist? We even ask such 358 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: a thing. So it's as I said to you, Um, 359 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: it's interesting to read the book. Whether you think it's uh, 360 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, whether you think it's terrible racist or not, 361 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: it's still you should be familiar with with the some 362 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: of the arguments. It's written in as a novel. But 363 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: people say that there's a degree of um, you know, 364 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: foresight as through the clash of civilizations between the rest 365 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: of the West and the rest in it. But the 366 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: one of the issues you're never allowed to talk about 367 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: is the and then putting aside that that book and 368 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: everything else that comes with it, it's just the clash 369 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: of cultures. At what point are we overwhelming our ability 370 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: to assimilate? At what point do we have we taken 371 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: in too many immigrants. Is there such a thing, I mean, 372 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: all immigrants legal and illegal at one time? Is it? 373 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: Can there be a number that's two I right now 374 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: we're taking in a million a year, or we are 375 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: permanently legalizing a million people a year. It's a lot. 376 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: I know America's got about thy million people living here, 377 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: but still a million years a pretty heavy number. And 378 00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly the each year, the new peep will that become permanent, 379 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: permanent residence of the United States are the family members 380 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: of immigrants because of chain migration. So this is the effect. 381 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: This is what's happening here. And there's also another component 382 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: of this that I think doesn't get very much attention, 383 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: and that is from uh That is from the fact 384 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: that there is something different about a contiguous landmass to 385 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: our own being the country that is responsible for a 386 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: massive part of immigration over the last thirty years. In fact, 387 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: the majority of all immigration to this country comes from 388 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: one country, and it is Mexico. And when you have 389 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: people like Querey Ramos who are saying that there will 390 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: be electoral ramifications in this country for our refusal to 391 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: allow lawlessness primarily facilitated by our next door neighbor another country, 392 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: in this case Mexico. Uh, this is a a unique 393 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: problem set we are dealing with. This is something different 394 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: than the immigration we deal with with other countries. You know, 395 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: there's also a history here that we never really get 396 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: to talk about, a history of the US fighting a 397 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: war with Mexico, the sense of Mexico having lost territory. 398 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: There are groups that still talk about a a rayon 399 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: quista or a reconquest of lost territory um and but 400 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 1: a reckon quista via political means right, via a sense 401 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: in a sense political conquest. I mean, this is very 402 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: You have to take these things somewhat seriously when you 403 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: look at the demographic realities of what's happening in a 404 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: place like California, where this is now what the rest 405 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: of the country is is going to be dealing with 406 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: if we don't start to change our immigration policies. Where 407 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: you have people who have a a political block that 408 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: is strong enough that they make demands of the govern 409 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: not to enforce the law against certain communities, that's an 410 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: interesting phenomenon, isn't it. And that's what's been happening in California. 411 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: So no, I I and look at this, and I 412 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: think to myself, it's time for the Trump administration to 413 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: really lay it all down, laid on the line, and 414 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: make the case and and then there's what can be done. 415 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: In the meantime, the President spoke about sending the military 416 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: to the border. We have very bad laws for a border, 417 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: and we are going to be doing some things. I've 418 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: been speaking with General Mattis. We're gonna be doing things 419 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: military until we can have a wall in proper security. 420 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna be guarding our border with the military. That's 421 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: a big step. We really haven't done that before, or 422 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: certainly not very much before. Trump sending the military to 423 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: the border to help out, to do what he can 424 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: to try and prevent further illegal immigration in the country. 425 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: But I mentioned before, I may have been off with 426 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: UH whether they're willing to use lethal force at the 427 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: Mexico Guatemala border, But there are military outposts there permanently, 428 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: and there are are some fenced areas too. Just interesting, 429 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: isn't it. You Know, the moment that an American talks 430 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: about offense and military at our border, you will hear 431 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: people like Jorge Ramo say that that's racist, it's violent, xenophobic, 432 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: it's terrible. Meanwhile, Mexico has military installations enforcing a border, 433 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, armed personnel enforcing a border that also has fencing, 434 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: although not partically good fencing on their boarding with with Guatemala. 435 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: So you know, this is the central, the central issue 436 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: of the Trump It was essential issue the Trump campaign. 437 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: It is also central to the administration's chances. I think 438 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: of retaining Republican majorities in the House in the Senate, 439 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: because if we lose on this, as I keep saying, 440 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: we lose on everything else. And that's why Democrats have 441 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: become so irrational and unreasonable when it comes to immigration. 442 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: That's what I see happening here. Eight four four to five. 443 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: You've got some thoughts on this. We uh are going 444 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: to talk about Christian privilege coming up in the next hour. 445 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: That'll be interesting. That's what they're teaching people in college now. 446 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: First it was white privilege. Now it's Christian privilege. And 447 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: there's of course male privilege too, but that's hashtag the patriarchy. 448 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: This is what people learn in school. Now. That's why 449 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: we have a trillion dollar student loan debt that's never 450 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: gonna get paid off. No one's learning anything particularly useful 451 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: in a lot of these disciplines. Um, but that will 452 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: be coming up in the next hour, and also any 453 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: of your thoughts, let me know what's on your mind. 454 00:27:50,320 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: We'll hit that in more. We'll be right back. Do 455 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: we have Trump with the what was he with a 456 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: lot being minister either day? And he was just like, 457 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: don't call on them, they're fake. We have we should 458 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: get that. That was fun. I saw that today. Don't 459 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: call on American don't call that American news station calling 460 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: your lot van station because we got fake news here. 461 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: Like I've said this to people too. You know, even 462 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: on my most that the days I'm the most frustrated, 463 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: not just want to say frustrated with the administration, I'm 464 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: frustrated for the American people. I just want good things 465 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: to happen in this country, even for the crazy Libs 466 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: who won't appreciate it and don't understand it and won't 467 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: be thankful for it. I just want good things to 468 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: happen for this country. But even on my worst day 469 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 1: where I feel like things aren't going the way they 470 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: should for administration, I'm like Trump is the most entertaining 471 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: politician I think ever. I think it's probably fair to 472 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: say he's the most entertaining politician in this country. I mean, 473 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: how could you compare them to you know, a hundred 474 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: years ago? Who knows, but it's pretty amazing you think 475 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: about it. Bryant has got some thoughts from me up 476 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: in North Carolina or down in North Carolina. Hey, Bryan, Hey, 477 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: how are you, sir? I'm good. Thank you for your call. Okay, 478 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: I I love your show. Thank you, and you know 479 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: I love to listen to you. I feel a butt 480 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: coming here, Brian, go ahead, okay. But I wanted to 481 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: make something clear earlier. And I don't mean to differ 482 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: with your college education, which college educated, which I am too. 483 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: But you said this, You said you was scared to 484 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: say it was an invasion. I didn't say I was scared. 485 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: I said I'm not sure that's entirely the most accurate 486 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: way to say. Well, the only thing, the only point 487 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: I'd like to bring out I think it isn't It 488 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: is an invasion. It's not a military invasion, but it's 489 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: a political financial invasion. They're they're doing it in a 490 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: different way. And if you look back through the history 491 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: world history, which I know you study, but if you 492 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: look back through that the Spaniards, which Mexico is from from, 493 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, there's some Spanish descent. They were conquerors. Yeah, 494 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: we're being conquered and we just need to realize that 495 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: we need to just change our sinth and realize it's 496 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: not political because Mexico has no means to do that 497 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 1: against us. But any it's true, I've worked. I'm a 498 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: registered nurse, and I have to take people. I'm not 499 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: a racist person. I have to take care of people, 500 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: all all races, all set, you know, it doesn't matter. 501 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: I just you know, I'll say their life this as 502 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: quick as I'll save anybody else's, because that's a whole 503 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: other issue. But what I what I look at, I mean, 504 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: and I've worked. I was actually before that, I was 505 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: self employed and I have I have worked some people 506 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: of mexic Can dissent and they were two of the 507 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: best workers I've ever had. But they came in, gave 508 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: us an illegal social Security number, and we were started 509 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: taking taxes out where we started getting Yeah, but Brian, people, 510 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: when when I when I talk about the policies involved here, 511 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: I have no problem or animosity with any individual illegal immigrant. 512 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's I don't either. And 513 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: we even one of the boys was young. He was 514 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: twenty some years old. I'm forty nine. He was a 515 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: lot younger than me, but me and my dad, who 516 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: was in business together, agreed to sponsor him. And I 517 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: told him, I said, I don't have a problem with 518 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: you coming too. This is country. Just do it legal, 519 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: just do it the right way. You know, pay pay 520 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: to taxes like all of us day because we don't 521 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: like paying taxes either. Were over taxed to death. But 522 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: I said, you know, it's it's still I say that 523 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: all the time, Brian. Right, Like, if someone told me 524 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: they weren't paying their taxes, I wouldn't dislike that person. 525 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even I wouldn't even necessarily think less of 526 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: that person. I just say, well, you're probably in trouble 527 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: and they're gonna come after you. And I can't say 528 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: that I don't understand why, right, I have a feeling. Yeah, 529 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: so you know, I'll just said what I think it is. 530 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: It's a slow invasion and if we don't recognize it 531 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: a law, and you know, I'll support Trump. Yeah, I 532 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: hear you, Brian. I look, I appreciate your calling my 533 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: friend and your thoughts. We've got a bunch of lines 534 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: let though, so I have to leave it there with 535 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: you for now, but thank you, sir. Chris in Burlington, 536 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: North Carolina. Hey, Chris, Hey, how's it going, book? It's good? 537 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: Thank you for a ring? Yes, sir, the question I 538 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: had it there, I guess kind of question or comment 539 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: of I'm trying to figure out what your thoughts on 540 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 1: it would be. But there's like a point, you know history, 541 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: I think me and the guy on the phone before, 542 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,959 Speaker 1: we're talking about from ninety one to like nineteen sixty 543 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: five where there was absolutely no immigration. They shut immigration down. Yeah, 544 00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: to give folks, you know, time to assimilate, become an American, 545 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: everything like that. What are your thoughts on if that 546 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: could happen or would or if and when it will happen. 547 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: Do you think that's like a possibility of things that 548 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: could happen or do you think that's just out the 549 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: window the left? I think we're a long way away 550 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: from that. When the Democrat Party is effectively a party 551 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: that wants uh de facto or or or as close 552 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: to open borders as possible. Right, they want nearly unrestricted immigration. 553 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: They just want to be able to count their future 554 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: voters as they come into the country. That's really the idea. 555 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: So we're a long way away from being able to 556 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: really shut down immigration, legal and illegal in this country. 557 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: And look, I would never want there to be a 558 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: complete shutdown on immigration. I just want our immigration policy 559 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: to turn into you know, we we are compiling uh 560 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: the the A team from around the world. What do 561 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,479 Speaker 1: we need more of in this country? Do we need 562 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: more astrophysicists, Do we need more primary care physicians? Do 563 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: we need more you know, you name it right, whatever 564 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: it is that we need more of in this country, 565 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: or whatever standards we want to it for immigrants, we 566 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: should put them in place. We should enforce them and 567 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: then have an actual policy discussion about how, what, what 568 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: the numbers are that we need and then just go 569 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: about it that way. I mean, America should treat our 570 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: immigration policy the way a corporation treats its hiring. You 571 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: want to get the best people, the people that you 572 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: are gonna that are gonna have to contribute the most, 573 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: the fastest, with the least amount of you know, additional 574 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: or excessive support. And that doesn't make us. Canada does this, 575 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: Australia does this. Other countries do this, and there are countries, 576 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: by the way that also just don't really take you know, 577 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: Japan just doesn't take immigrants. And by the way, that's 578 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: a huge problem for Japan and the countries in a 579 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: stage of slow die off because they don't. I'm sorry, 580 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: we don't cross talk. What do you say, Chris, I said, Well, 581 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: I mean you're thinking like Japan. They probably thinking, hey, 582 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: we have no folks as it is. No, they don't. 583 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: Oh no Japan, No, no, quite the contrary, Japan is 584 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 1: actually aging out, uh. And there's a whole bunch of 585 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: reasons for that. But Japan is facing huge uh economic 586 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: dislocations going forward because they just don't have enough people 587 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: to support there. There are a whole villages and towns 588 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: in Japan right now that people say feeling not like 589 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: I haven't been I just read about it a lot, 590 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: uh that feel like retirement communities because there are no 591 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: young people because no, they haven't been able to replace 592 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: they don't have uh, you know, it's essentially replacement level childbearing. 593 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: They haven't been doing that for for decades now. But Chris, 594 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate you calling from North Carolina. We gotta run 595 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 1: into get ready for a break here coming up. Oh yeah, 596 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:41,200 Speaker 1: demographics in Asia are fascinating. Uh. India has far too 597 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: many people for its infrastructure and its economy, which is 598 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: gonna cause all kinds of problems. China because the horrific 599 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 1: one child policy has thirty million, too many males because 600 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: males were more highly prized for economic reasons under the 601 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: one child policy. UH. And Japan has too few people. 602 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,439 Speaker 1: In South Korea, it's actually not that far behind. They're 603 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: not having enough babies and you need people actually for 604 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: an economy. So they're trying to turn the mechanization and 605 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: robotics in robotics more specifically in Japan to make up 606 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: for the shortfall. So they got big problems in that 607 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: part of the world because of demographics. All right, we 608 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: got a lot more coming up, including Christian privilege. Is 609 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: that a thing we'll discuss. He's back with you now, 610 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: because when it comes to the fight for truth, the 611 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: fuck never stops. Welcome back to the buck Sex and 612 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: show everyone. We have the news that broke just before 613 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: we came on air, and it talks to me talked 614 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: about in the last hour. Um that is this shooting. 615 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: It the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California. It seems 616 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: so far all the facts point toward a uh dispute 617 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: between a girlfriend and boyfriend, and she shot her, the 618 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: shooter shot her, boyfriend, shot a couple other people. Um. 619 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: I saw a report that said the woman was shot 620 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: many times though, so there there might have been additional 621 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: intended targets beyond the boyfriend. Will we'll let you know 622 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 1: as we find out more, but no one has been 623 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: killed other than the shooter who took her own life. 624 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: And we have very little in terms of specifics beyond that. 625 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: So if we get more as we are on air, 626 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: will certainly tell you I will tell you about it. 627 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we just know YouTube shooting at 628 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 1: the YouTube headquarters. Female shooter dead, three people. Oh I'm sorry, 629 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: so it's three three wounded, one killed. Yeah, So well 630 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 1: we'll see what There'll be additional information coming out. I'm 631 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: sure it's the question of it happens while we're on 632 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 1: air or not, but we'll let you know as we can. 633 00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: So we've got an eye on that. And like as 634 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: I said, it was initially suspected that it could have 635 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: been an active terror but that's been completely wiped away. 636 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: And people are saying, no, no, this is this is 637 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: a It might be a crime of passion. I don't 638 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: know what else. That's what it would have been called. Right, 639 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,320 Speaker 1: when you have a quarrel between two people have a 640 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: romantic relationship, can turn violent and can even turn deadly. 641 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,760 Speaker 1: So that's that's all we have to go on so far. Um, 642 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: just as as a brief aside, I did see that 643 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: the Austin Police Department has said that they they believe 644 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: that the Austin bombings that we were covering here extensively 645 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago were domestic terrorism. So, just 646 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: as an aside, I wanted to follow up on that. 647 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: So we we were going to talk about Christian privilege 648 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: in a few minutes. But before I get there, I'm 649 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: I'm seeing that there's a tremendous amount of pushback to 650 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: Trump militarizing the border. They're saying, and you have to wonder, 651 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: what exactly are we supposed to do at the border. 652 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: What would be acceptable? Are we supposed to set up 653 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: a a welcoming committee. Are we supposed to just taking 654 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: anyone who gets there? What should we tell the people 655 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: that go through the legal immigration process and I've spent 656 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars in many years trying to come into 657 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: this country the right way. Sorry, you know, you're a chump. 658 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: You could have you could have done it this way. 659 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 1: I just don't even see what the Democrat argument, Well, 660 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: the good the good faith argument is for their side. 661 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: I know what the real argument is. It's about power, 662 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: and it's about establishing themselves as the political party in 663 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: this country, not a party among others, were among two 664 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: at least, sorry Libertarians, um, but the political party. Um. 665 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,799 Speaker 1: It's about power, it's about pre eminence. But the more 666 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: you look at what's going on with the immigration debate 667 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 1: right now, the more I think there should be real 668 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: outrage from the American people about how much the media 669 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: apparat us has covered up what's really happening here and 670 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,759 Speaker 1: what has happened in this country for for many years. 671 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: And there has been an active campaign of disinformation from 672 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 1: the media about the effects of immigration. What's and I 673 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: might I say immigration illegal immigration? Um, what illegal aliens 674 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,719 Speaker 1: due to the country in terms of economic costs, in 675 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: terms in terms of crime. I would note that there 676 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: was this pushback from when Trump was talking about this 677 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: during the primary, people say, oh, you know, illegals are 678 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: less likely, they'd say immigrants usually, and then they play 679 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: these games of what we're talking about illegals, we're talking 680 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 1: about all immigrants, but you know, illegals are less likely 681 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 1: to commit crime than native born Americans, which is a 682 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: consistent fallback position here, which is that immigrants two Democrats 683 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,440 Speaker 1: are better than Americans, meaning people that anyone who arrives 684 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,040 Speaker 1: in the country is just inherently, obviously better and more 685 00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 1: worthy than anyone of any race, creator color born in 686 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: this country who was a citizen. Right, That's seems to 687 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 1: be the fallback position or the their knee jerk reaction 688 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,280 Speaker 1: you get from Democrats on this stuff, and that alone 689 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: is troubling, annoying, and somewhat condescending. But I'm I'm hoping 690 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign, I'm sorry, the Trump administration comes together 691 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: on this and finally takes a stand here, because if 692 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 1: they if they don't, just you wait and see what 693 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,479 Speaker 1: it looks like when you have Democrats writing laws again 694 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 1: in the legislature and a Democrat administration in the White House. 695 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: It's gonna be Amnesty is gonna be top of the list. 696 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: Like we're not even talking about getting rid of Obamacare 697 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: right now that that's not even getting any discussion. Do 698 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,839 Speaker 1: I hope that there will be something on that. I yeah, 699 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: i'd say I hope. I do not expect, and I 700 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,839 Speaker 1: would bet against it between now in the mid terms, 701 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: I would actively bet against. They're proba look in Congress 702 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: doing something on Obamacare. If immigration is it, folks, Okay, 703 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: maybe they'll they'll try to do additional tax cuts are great? Immigration? 704 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: Is it? Immigration? And trade? Actually, I've see I see 705 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: here that the United States is now proposing This is 706 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,720 Speaker 1: according to CNN, take that with a grain of soft uh, 707 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:33,960 Speaker 1: proposing thirteen hundred Chinese Chinese exports that could be targeted 708 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 1: four tariffs. Mm hmm. This is expanding quite a bit. 709 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: Here's what they write. The United States plans to apply 710 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: the tariffs about fifty billion dollars worth of goods to 711 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,360 Speaker 1: punish China for its theft of trade secrets, including software 712 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: patents and other technology. Tariff would be applied to all 713 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: the products, according to the US Trade Representative, which is 714 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,839 Speaker 1: a wing of the White House. So White House is saying, 715 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 1: you know what, we're going to recoup some of our losses. 716 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna get back some of what China stole because 717 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: it's just wrong what's been going on here. It's just wrong. 718 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 1: And I would note that no one disagrees that that's 719 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: what China has been doing, right, or at least no 720 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 1: one who knows anything. You don't even hear Democrats coming 721 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 1: out and saying, oh, no, this is all xenophobia. No, no, no. 722 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: China has been stealing intellectual property for us at breakneck 723 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,760 Speaker 1: speed for many years now, and that just turns into 724 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: economic advantage and prosperity for them. So what the administration 725 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: is saying is, you know what we're gonna We're gonna 726 00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: start to recoup some of those losses. And even if 727 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: that doesn't really work, because it depends on how this 728 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: all happens. That we're talking about very large, complex economic 729 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 1: systems here, even if that's no good, at least we're 730 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: putting China on notice. He got to stop doing this. 731 00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: We are paying attention and we aren't going to allow it. 732 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: And this is an act of of political will from 733 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: from this from this White House and from this President, 734 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,439 Speaker 1: because what he's doing is is dealing with the problem 735 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,840 Speaker 1: that's been a long time in the making and addressing 736 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: it in a way that will take a long time 737 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: to bear fruit, most likely, and getting a lot of 738 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: heat in the process. This is exactly what you don't 739 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 1: see most politicians willing to do right. No one will 740 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: deal with the debt and entitlements because that's a long 741 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: term problem. It's been getting put together for a long 742 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 1: time and it's gonna take quite a while the solvent 743 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: and won't be popular. Trump is swimming upstream on this 744 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: issue of dealing with China, and it's theft of intellectual 745 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 1: property and trade secrets, everything else that it's been doing, 746 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:51,359 Speaker 1: which is finally an administration that won't just bury its 747 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: head in the sand and pretend that this isn't going on, 748 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: and is willing to you know, see some see some 749 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,320 Speaker 1: short term pain in the economy here, I mean, or 750 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,239 Speaker 1: at least in the markets. In the markets have been 751 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: getting whiplash, the the the four oh one k you know, 752 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 1: many hundreds of dollars going up, going down. I mean 753 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,440 Speaker 1: in totality. Uh, you know, not exactly the kind of 754 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: thing that if you're Trump and you're hoping for the 755 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: most robust economy possible, you're gonna see. But the alternative 756 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,399 Speaker 1: is it just let China continue to steal our most 757 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 1: sensitive and intellectual property, steal military secrets, industrial secrets, and 758 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 1: do nothing and just suffer in silence, you know, talk 759 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 1: about it sometimes, have conferences, you know, think tank conferences. 760 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,279 Speaker 1: You're saying, maybe we could get China stop sting for no, 761 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: maybe we should do something about it, which could also 762 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 1: bring about some reforms with how China does business. That 763 00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: is possible. I'm not saying it's likely, but maybe the 764 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 1: Chinese will lay off a little bit. Maybe we're not 765 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,399 Speaker 1: just wasting our breath on this. Maybe it's not worth 766 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,880 Speaker 1: it to them to continue to antagonize us through this 767 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 1: continuous campaign of theft, which is what's going on. You know, 768 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 1: if you stole information like this from a company and 769 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 1: then use it for your own gain, you'd you'd be 770 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 1: in all kinds of trouble. But if a nation state 771 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,760 Speaker 1: does that, we've been led to believe that we should 772 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: just ignore it or it's not a problem for us. False. False. 773 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,759 Speaker 1: So look, things are gonna heat up with China in 774 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 1: this trade war. But I'd like someone to tell me 775 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: what they think the alternative is. If it's just sit 776 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 1: around and let China pillage us constantly, that's not acceptable. 777 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,759 Speaker 1: Switching gears here for a moment, before we get into 778 00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 1: the talk about Christian privilege, I want to tell you 779 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,680 Speaker 1: about G four tequila. G four tequila is distilled from 780 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: a unique combination of fifty harvested rain water and fifty 781 00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 1: percent spring water, and G four brings bright, clear, crisp 782 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 1: aromas and flavors of pure agave together. Like I'm somebody 783 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:58,839 Speaker 1: who does enjoy a little bit of tequila here and there. 784 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,200 Speaker 1: It's my favorite, actually, of the of the adult beverages. 785 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 1: And I have a whole bunch of bottles at G 786 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: four Tequila at home.

Delicious. 792 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 1: You'll never think of tequila the same way once you 793 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 1: try it. I've got it at home, Give it a shot. 794 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:37,480 Speaker 1: G four Tequila, and we will be right back. Of 795 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: all the pervasive stupidities, of all the incorrect ideas held 796 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: by the academy and media in this country. The inability 797 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 1: to understand that Christianity outside of the United States is 798 00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:04,759 Speaker 1: very persecuted, that Christianity outside of the Western world is 799 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 1: under siege, remains one of the ones that it's just 800 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:13,600 Speaker 1: the most frustrating because it's so clear, and yet here 801 00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:17,000 Speaker 1: we are. We have a story just out today that 802 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 1: George Washington University, which is among the most expensive, at 803 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: least it was a few years ago, among the most 804 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: expensive private universities in the country. I actually lived right 805 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: off g W USE or g W g W you 806 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 1: I got. I messed that one up, but people know 807 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: what I mean. I lived right off the campus. I 808 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: know the area pretty well one summer when I was 809 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: an overworked and underpaid intern in d C. Important life experience. 810 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:50,320 Speaker 1: But they're hosting a Christian privilege event this week because 811 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,360 Speaker 1: they want to say that sevent of Americans. Uh, I 812 00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,040 Speaker 1: have a special privilege by being Christian, because America is 813 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 1: roughly seventy Christian and I just have to stop and 814 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: and want to lose it. I mean, are they really 815 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 1: just saying that any group in the majority in any 816 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: country has special privilege and needs to check their privilege, 817 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 1: or are they saying that to be Christian in America 818 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,360 Speaker 1: or in the West is to be singled out for 819 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: special treatment, because actually the opposite is true. Christians are 820 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,680 Speaker 1: the only group among religious groups today that can be 821 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:35,359 Speaker 1: completely and utterly uh piled on by the media, by 822 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 1: the by the Democrats, by leftist you know, you can 823 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:43,239 Speaker 1: mock Christians, you can uh you know, humiliate their traditions 824 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: or try to, you can heap scorn upon them, and 825 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 1: people will laugh and laugh, laugh and think it's funny. 826 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:56,080 Speaker 1: It was recently uh Beijar right over on the View, 827 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 1: which apparently is still a show. Kind of much a 828 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: shock to me. How wow, joy Bayha. I think that 829 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: was pretty good actually without playing an audio sound, by 830 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 1: just going off the memory banks. Yeah, Now, why do 831 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 1: you love guns so much? You're a bunch of Christians, 832 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 1: that's why. Uh, she's among the dumbest people that I 833 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,960 Speaker 1: know of who's paid for her opinion on television, among 834 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 1: the dumbest. I wouldn't say she is the single dumbest, 835 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 1: but she's definitely in a special category. And you know, 836 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't like to be mean. I'm just trying to 837 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,240 Speaker 1: be honest and accurate. But she said something snarky about 838 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,799 Speaker 1: and actually about Christians and how to apologize for it 839 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,840 Speaker 1: because guess what, joy A lot of your audience are Christians. 840 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,359 Speaker 1: And while it's people will say, oh it's America. Yeah 841 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 1: you're allowed to. You'll notice you can. You can criticize Christianity. 842 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: You can make all kinds of movies mocking Christianity. And 843 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: you know you had that movie Religionousts a few years ago, 844 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 1: and uh, all you can do? You know, Christopher Hitchens, 845 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,319 Speaker 1: someone who's work I've read extensively. I have, even though 846 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:05,719 Speaker 1: he's an atheist, a militant atheists, really uh knew that 847 00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: he was never going to have a problem writing about 848 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 1: the Christian faith and mocking it and deriding it. And 849 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 1: Christians weren't going to do anything. They might disagree with them, 850 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 1: they might say that he's being nasty and unfair, but 851 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 1: it was a different faith that would constantly threaten his 852 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,480 Speaker 1: life when he would write books will remain unnamed though, 853 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 1: because you know, maybe maybe it was the Amish. Maybe 854 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: the Amish were the ones. I'm just I don't I 855 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,920 Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to cast any aspersions. 856 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 1: But now we've got colleges teaching classes on Christian privilege. 857 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,280 Speaker 1: I just wonder if they because they are so concerned 858 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 1: with oppression in the third World. I'm wondering if colleges 859 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 1: and the media would spend any of their time explaining 860 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: to college kids that, in fact, Christianity is horrifically oppressed 861 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:56,799 Speaker 1: in much of the world, that Christianity is punishable by 862 00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: death in some countries, that there are major wealthy Islamic 863 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 1: countries in particular that ben an outlaw Christianity, and that 864 00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: at least on the books, they'll say, oh, we don't 865 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:15,480 Speaker 1: enforce it, would execute someone as a function of Shariah, 866 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,719 Speaker 1: as a function of their legal system if they were 867 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,200 Speaker 1: to be an apostate one who left Islam and became 868 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 1: a Christian. No churches in Saudi Arabia, folks, No crucifix 869 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 1: is allowed in public, No, no, nothing not allowed. No 870 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:33,520 Speaker 1: public religious Christian displays period. It's true, and some other 871 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: Muslim countries too. By the way, the place that is 872 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,839 Speaker 1: as a percentage of the lowest region of the world 873 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: that you break it down by continent and region, the 874 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: lowest as a percentage of the overall population that are 875 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,560 Speaker 1: Christian is the Middle East, which didn't happen because of 876 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: the normal EBB and flow of people choosing one religion 877 00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,839 Speaker 1: or the other, or migration, or it happened because of extermination, 878 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 1: an extermination that's actually still occurring in Iraq, that's still 879 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 1: occurring in parts of Syria. And oppression and violence and hatred, 880 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,720 Speaker 1: and I think there were there was just a family 881 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,759 Speaker 1: of Christians was just executed on Easter in Pakistan. They 882 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,840 Speaker 1: were in a in a rickshaw and they were killed, 883 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 1: four of them. That's just you know, another day in Pakistan. 884 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:28,799 Speaker 1: Churches get grenade attacked in Pakistan. My parents told me 885 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 1: stories about one of their parish priests in Upstate New 886 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:36,799 Speaker 1: York who tell stories about how they have to be 887 00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 1: careful in Nigeria at Catholic churches there, or just any 888 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: Christian church. There's a lot of Protestant Protestants there too, um, 889 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 1: but they have to be careful in any Christian church 890 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 1: because of suicide bombers, because they specifically Islamic radicals will 891 00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,680 Speaker 1: single out churches for suicide bombings, and you go down 892 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: the list. I mean, of course, Christianity is is is 893 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:05,320 Speaker 1: oppressed and and has banned in North Korea. Any authoritarian 894 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:09,320 Speaker 1: status regime that is I mean, or totality, I should 895 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 1: say totalitary, not authoritarian. I know some mean you say, Buck, 896 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 1: that's not accurate. Totalitarian regimes, many of them are either 897 00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:22,600 Speaker 1: banned Christianity or just deeply opposed to it. And Islamic 898 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:27,320 Speaker 1: regimes are deeply opposed to it in panic and Christians 899 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,440 Speaker 1: are under assault all over the world. But yet our 900 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:34,280 Speaker 1: kids are being taught that there's a special Christian privilege. Um, 901 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 1: this is all part of efforts to just delegitimize what 902 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: is an an essential part of our history, our culture, 903 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 1: and for a lot of us in this country, our 904 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 1: day to day. And it also comes from such a 905 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,279 Speaker 1: place of ignorance to that they just don't know. I mean, 906 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: I even I had a little somewhat snippy Twitter exchange 907 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: with an ABC News political analyst and a while ago 908 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,359 Speaker 1: where I had to explain to him that Christians are 909 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 1: Actually he was like, oh, it's so ridiculous that you're 910 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,319 Speaker 1: focused on Christians in Iraq. He wasn't even sayings to me. 911 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: But I jump in and say, Christians are basically being 912 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 1: extreminated in a rock You idiot. How much money does 913 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,120 Speaker 1: ABC News pay you to be in ignorimus? I forget 914 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:16,840 Speaker 1: the guy's name. Actually, otherwise they call him out, but 915 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,120 Speaker 1: he's he's like the head political annials over there, and 916 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,839 Speaker 1: he's a moron. Now, I'm actually saying people are dumb 917 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,440 Speaker 1: on the show today, which must mean that I'm kind 918 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 1: of a snarky mood. But I'm only saying it when 919 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,719 Speaker 1: it's really true. I'm only saying when it's really true. Sorry. Um, 920 00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna come back. We've We've got Andrew are Arthur 921 00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,919 Speaker 1: joining us here in just a moment. Team Um, I'll 922 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,799 Speaker 1: be right back with him. We're gonna talk more about 923 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,720 Speaker 1: the border and laws. Stay with me. The Mexican border 924 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,440 Speaker 1: is very unprotected by our laws. We have horrible, horrible 925 00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 1: and very unsafe laws in the United States, and we're 926 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,919 Speaker 1: going to be able to do something about that, hopefully soon. 927 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: Hopefully Congress will get their act together and get in 928 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 1: and create some very powerful laws like Mexico has, and 929 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 1: like Canada has, and like almost all countries have. We 930 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 1: don't of laws. We have catch and release. You catch 931 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,399 Speaker 1: and then you immediately release and people come back years 932 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,439 Speaker 1: later for a court case, except they virtually never come back. 933 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 1: So what we are preparing for the military to secure 934 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:16,600 Speaker 1: our border between Mexico and the United States We have 935 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: a meeting on it in a little while with General 936 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:22,319 Speaker 1: Madison everybody, and I think that it's something we have 937 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: to do. There you have the President talking about what 938 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:28,359 Speaker 1: the situation that the border really is right now, We've 939 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,439 Speaker 1: got somebody who's an expert in all things immigration immigration law, 940 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,880 Speaker 1: Andrew are Arthur is with us. He is a Resident 941 00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,760 Speaker 1: Fellow in Law and policy for the Center for Immigration Studies, 942 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:42,200 Speaker 1: which is based down Washington, d C. Are great to 943 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,600 Speaker 1: have you back, Thank you for heavy Always good to 944 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 1: be here. All right, So a bunch of questions that 945 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm really interested in what you can tell us about. 946 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: First off, the what are the weaknesses in US boardy 947 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 1: border policy right now? Is a function of law in 948 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 1: terms of this caravan, because I think the perception isn't 949 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,359 Speaker 1: This is what I've got as well, is that if 950 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 1: this caravan is from Honduras or El Salvador or a combination, right, 951 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 1: we don't really know, but if it's coming from Central 952 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:13,040 Speaker 1: America and they get to the border, people are gonna say, well, 953 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm claiming asylum. I'm I'm fleeing a violent country where 954 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,800 Speaker 1: I am oppressed, and border patrol will take them in. 955 00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 1: What's the reality Art, That's exactly the reality, Buck. I mean. 956 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: The fact is that uh, Congress amended the law to 957 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 1: expedite the removal of individuals like this, individuals who are 958 00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 1: caught entering illegally, individuals who were apprehended at the ports 959 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 1: of entry without documents, and it's called expedited removal, and 960 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: the whole idea was that they would be quickly removed 961 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 1: from the United States. There was a caveat to the 962 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: expedited removal rule, however, that if any alien apprehended claim 963 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 1: to fear of return, that they would be referred over 964 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: to an asylum officer who would make a determination of 965 00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 1: whether they had a credible fear of removal or not. Now, 966 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 1: the standard for asylum is a well founded fear, which 967 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 1: is less than more likely than not. But still, you know, 968 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:10,200 Speaker 1: a fairly strangent standard credible fear is lower than that. So, uh, 969 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, if there's a likelihood possibility of harm or 970 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: that someone love was harmed in the past, they'll pass 971 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 1: credible fear and they will be put into regular removal 972 00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 1: proceedings in front of an immigration judge. At that point, 973 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:26,600 Speaker 1: they go from border patrol who apprehends them CBP to 974 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,720 Speaker 1: U s c I s the asylum officer to uh 975 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 1: ICE detention, and they get put in front of a 976 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 1: Department of Justice immigration judge. So four different agencies get 977 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,960 Speaker 1: involved in the process up to that point. Now the 978 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,920 Speaker 1: immigration judge uh you know, at that point can release 979 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,120 Speaker 1: the alien. If the alien is apprehended within the United States, 980 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,480 Speaker 1: ICE can release them in any situation. And unfortunately, during 981 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 1: the Obama administration, we saw the vast number of those 982 00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:00,040 Speaker 1: individuals be released and disappear. So they the likelihood here is, 983 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,440 Speaker 1: under current law, if this caravan makes it all the 984 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,680 Speaker 1: way to the US Mexico border, a lot of them 985 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,520 Speaker 1: won't only be able to enter the United States, they'll 986 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:10,600 Speaker 1: be able to stay. Well, it's going to depend on 987 00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: how the Trump administration responds and how the immigration judge 988 00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 1: is response. Let me let me retract that for a second. 989 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:20,440 Speaker 1: They would have under the Obama administration. Certainly regulation has 990 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,440 Speaker 1: been allowed to stay. So it depends that. Now it 991 00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: depends and we're and we're gonna have to see the 992 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,800 Speaker 1: will of the president. But the president seems to indicate 993 00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,720 Speaker 1: that the presidents indicated in the past that he was 994 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:36,560 Speaker 1: not afraid to use the tension more broadly than the 995 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,800 Speaker 1: Obama administration did. And quite frankly, it wouldn't surprise me 996 00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 1: if we don't see the vast majority of these individuals 997 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 1: detained until such time as an immigration judge can hear 998 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,440 Speaker 1: their asylum claim and until they take an appeal. So 999 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:54,840 Speaker 1: generally it takes about anywhere between a month to about 1000 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 1: two months for an immigration judge to hear an asylum claim, 1001 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,720 Speaker 1: and then the appeal itself could take another two two 1002 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,040 Speaker 1: to four months, so those individuals could be in detention 1003 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,680 Speaker 1: for a lengthy period of time. Can Congress just why 1004 01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 1: won't Congress try to change this law? Is it just 1005 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 1: a function of yeah, they don't have a supermajority and 1006 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,800 Speaker 1: the Senate will will filibuster. It seems like having h 1007 01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: laws in place that allow for a mass of foreigners 1008 01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,120 Speaker 1: to show up at US borders and just say that 1009 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:25,960 Speaker 1: they're claiming asylum is an invitation to the very abuses 1010 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 1: that we've seen. Absolutely, and Congress needs to tighten up 1011 01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:35,760 Speaker 1: the credible fear standard. Uh and frankly, UH, DHS needs 1012 01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,920 Speaker 1: to tighten up the standards that it's asylum officers used 1013 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,520 Speaker 1: when they find credible fear. Let me give you an 1014 01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 1: amazing statistic buck that of all credible fear cases that 1015 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 1: are adjudicated are found to have credible fear. So of 1016 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 1: those people at least that's been true in the past, 1017 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,560 Speaker 1: have been found to have incredible fear and referred over 1018 01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 1: to an immigration judge, so that expedited removal process doesn't 1019 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,439 Speaker 1: work in their case. It's being Andrew are Arthur, who 1020 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:05,080 Speaker 1: is a resident fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies 1021 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,600 Speaker 1: in d c H. Talk to me about the president's 1022 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: UH sending military to secure the border. Well, you know, 1023 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: there the president has a variety of different options as 1024 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 1: it relates to that UM. With respect to UH the 1025 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: support that the military would give it the border, they 1026 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:28,080 Speaker 1: would probably play primarily a secondary role. They would play 1027 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:33,520 Speaker 1: a logistical role with respect to border enforcement, as you know. 1028 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,240 Speaker 1: But just to inform your listeners, we have a sophisticated 1029 01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:43,360 Speaker 1: ray array of devices along the border, including aerostats, which 1030 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,640 Speaker 1: are basically large blimps that are tethered to the ground. UH. 1031 01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:51,400 Speaker 1: They're all weather and can see people uh thermal imaging 1032 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,480 Speaker 1: along the border. We have you know, centers along the 1033 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,920 Speaker 1: border to identify where people are, as well as cameras 1034 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 1: and those the vices can be monitored by the National Guard. 1035 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,480 Speaker 1: We've certainly seen that happen in the past or the military, 1036 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 1: and that would free up border patrol agents to actually 1037 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:15,360 Speaker 1: make apprehensions along the border. So what about Trump possibly 1038 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,840 Speaker 1: using military funds. I know what we're doing kind of 1039 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,880 Speaker 1: around the world here an immigration, but since I've got 1040 01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,760 Speaker 1: you and everyone's listening, I wanted to make sure we 1041 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 1: cover a lot of ground. Uh. Speaking of covering grounds, 1042 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 1: it's quite a transition the wall. The President has said 1043 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: that he is going to consider using military funds for 1044 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 1: the purposes of constructing a wall beyond what was in 1045 01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:41,320 Speaker 1: the omnibus. Can he do this? Well? It's interesting because 1046 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 1: people forget the fact that that was actually how the 1047 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 1: wall began. In two thousand and six, the US Army 1048 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,280 Speaker 1: Corps of Engineers, through one of its offices, actually did 1049 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: most of the logistical planning for the wall that was 1050 01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:01,000 Speaker 1: completed during that period of time, and Corp of Engineers 1051 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:05,160 Speaker 1: and National Guard unit's actually used the construction of the 1052 01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,000 Speaker 1: wall as part of their training regiment. Keep in mind 1053 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 1: that you know, when you're training to be an engineer, 1054 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 1: you need to actually build something um and this was 1055 01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,400 Speaker 1: something that could be built quite frankly. Uh, you know, 1056 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,000 Speaker 1: a wall has a house has four walls, a wall 1057 01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 1: only has one. But it's the same basic concept. Uh 1058 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,800 Speaker 1: that continued until about two thousand and eight. Now CBP 1059 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 1: actually paid for the supplies, but D O D paid 1060 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:35,160 Speaker 1: for the labor. So the president can do this then, 1061 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I just I hear both. I 1062 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,000 Speaker 1: hear people saying he absolutely cannot, he absolutely can. Where 1063 01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 1: do you come down on this? Well, the restrictions in 1064 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 1: the budget on the president's ability to do this. But 1065 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,400 Speaker 1: you know the fact is that if you view it 1066 01:03:47,440 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 1: as a training exercise and you just happen to be 1067 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 1: building a wall in a certain place, that doesn't really Uh, 1068 01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 1: that wouldn't appear to train to me to transgress the 1069 01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: restrictions on the president. Another important thing to keep in 1070 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,560 Speaker 1: my bucket is we're not just talking about, you know, 1071 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,640 Speaker 1: a wall everywhere, because, as you and I both know, 1072 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 1: the Rio Grand is a significant portion of the border. 1073 01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 1: Levies are a core function of the U. S. Army 1074 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,760 Speaker 1: Corps of Engineers. We we can remember that from back 1075 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,400 Speaker 1: in Hurricane to Trina, when all the fingers were being 1076 01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,960 Speaker 1: pointed and levies actually function as a wall in certain 1077 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:26,760 Speaker 1: places they provide a wall along a river bed for 1078 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,400 Speaker 1: flood control. And quite frankly, it would serve a dual 1079 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 1: purpose in this particular instance, if one were imaginative enough 1080 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:39,800 Speaker 1: about drafting the proposal kind of like a moat, kind 1081 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 1: of like a boat at times negative wad exactly the opposite, 1082 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,160 Speaker 1: but the same idea. It isn't it isn't is it? 1083 01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we we do what we don't. Um. But 1084 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,840 Speaker 1: one more thing, Andrew or are I want to ask you? Um? 1085 01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:56,560 Speaker 1: If the President could focus on one thing right now 1086 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 1: for immigration purposes, if there was one thing that he 1087 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:03,880 Speaker 1: could really put the entire efforts of the White House towards, 1088 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 1: what should that be? That one thing? With the mandatory 1089 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,360 Speaker 1: e verify. If the fact is that the vast majority 1090 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,920 Speaker 1: of people buck who are coming to the United States 1091 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,600 Speaker 1: are coming here to work, uh, to you know, make 1092 01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,520 Speaker 1: money for themselves, make money for their families, uh send 1093 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 1: back home. And if you had mandatory verify, which is 1094 01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: possible where we could know where every employer in the 1095 01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: United States could verify in real time the employment eligibility 1096 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,480 Speaker 1: of new every new employee, it would turn off the 1097 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,040 Speaker 1: job's magnet. And the fact is most of the immigration 1098 01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,680 Speaker 1: problems that we see would go away almost overnight. Andrew 1099 01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 1: are Arthur, everybody at the Center for Immigration Studies c 1100 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 1: i S dot org for all of their latest research 1101 01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 1: and analysis. Are always appreciate you joining us man. Thank 1102 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 1: you very much. Pleasure is mine. Thank you again. Today 1103 01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna roll into a break here we come back. 1104 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,360 Speaker 1: I've got some updates for you on the Mueller probe. 1105 01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:01,439 Speaker 1: Um and it's it's latest victim or if you are 1106 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: a hateful never Trump or you're just like, oh, it's justice, 1107 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: but I don't think so. I don't think so. I'm 1108 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 1: gonna give you that and more coming right up. It 1109 01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 1: should have been the call that was made when Muller 1110 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,360 Speaker 1: was appointed that we should never have seen the appointment 1111 01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 1: of a special Council as the first step. First that 1112 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,480 Speaker 1: should have been done within the Justice Department, Investigator general, 1113 01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:25,560 Speaker 1: inspector general, maybe Office of Professional Responsibility, maybe assigned an 1114 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 1: existing career person to do it. Then let's see is 1115 01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,640 Speaker 1: there evidence of criminal conduct. We have to make sure 1116 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:36,200 Speaker 1: we never confuse political sins with federal crimes. And I 1117 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 1: think this is going about it the right way, in 1118 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: a calibrated step by step way I think it would 1119 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 1: have been. Look, the answer to having one bad appointment 1120 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,480 Speaker 1: of a special Council is not to make a second 1121 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,640 Speaker 1: bad appointment of the special Council. I'm against the criminalization 1122 01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:52,400 Speaker 1: of political differences, whether it's Republicans trying to criminalize Democrats 1123 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,520 Speaker 1: or Democrats trying to criminalize Republican I got I gotta 1124 01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:01,120 Speaker 1: agree with Professor Dirsh. There the Dirsh getting done. Um, 1125 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,200 Speaker 1: there never should have been a special counsel. And I 1126 01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:09,200 Speaker 1: have been consistent on this one all along, my friends, 1127 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:15,320 Speaker 1: they're absolutely, never, ever, ever should have been a special counsel. 1128 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:21,600 Speaker 1: It was a doomed well, I shouldn't say doom because 1129 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 1: it's not about actually justice. It says it was it 1130 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 1: was doomed to be unjust. But the purpose of it 1131 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,760 Speaker 1: is injustice, so it all makes sense. Actually, the purpose 1132 01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 1: of the Special Council is political. It is the criminalization 1133 01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 1: of politics. And I think that the machine, the swamp, 1134 01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: saw this all as an opportunity for well, the system 1135 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,240 Speaker 1: to strike back, and they had some people in the 1136 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:52,480 Speaker 1: Trump administration that we're not wise to this one. You know, 1137 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,240 Speaker 1: they didn't see this one coming. So I agree with yours, 1138 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 1: But you know, you've got some updates here on on 1139 01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 1: the on the Mueller probe, which I just want I 1140 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,040 Speaker 1: like to start some of our Mueller Probe segments now 1141 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: with there never should have been a Muller probe, right, 1142 01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 1: it's not something that should have happened. It is something 1143 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,240 Speaker 1: that should never have gotten to this point in the 1144 01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:16,760 Speaker 1: first place. But now we've got someone who's going to 1145 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 1: prison Dutch Harry Potter and if you've seen this guy, 1146 01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,280 Speaker 1: but that's kind of right, you know, I'm talking about 1147 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 1: this Dutch lawyer is technically not Harry Potter. He has 1148 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:31,120 Speaker 1: some name, um that is Dutch. What's this guy's name. 1149 01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm forget what his name is. Alex Vanders Vaughan got 1150 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 1: it fun to say, not to be confused with. You're 1151 01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:44,559 Speaker 1: on Van der Slut. Remember him, Natalie Holloway guy, remember 1152 01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,360 Speaker 1: that that whole thing. And I think he got sent 1153 01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,160 Speaker 1: to prison for a long time for a different I did. 1154 01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:52,320 Speaker 1: He's the other. He's a different Dutchman who got himself 1155 01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:54,320 Speaker 1: in a lot of trouble. This guy didn't do anything 1156 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna say particularly bad. This guy didn't really 1157 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:00,719 Speaker 1: do anything bad. This guy, Vanders want let's just getting 1158 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,240 Speaker 1: this is rough. This is some rough stuff here. He's 1159 01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,760 Speaker 1: going to jail for thirty days. This is our CNN, right, 1160 01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,360 Speaker 1: said a Dutch lawyer. I was gonna try to do 1161 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 1: a little Dutch accent, But my Dutch accent is just 1162 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:13,920 Speaker 1: a bad version of my German accent. My German accents 1163 01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 1: just a bad version of my Russian accent. A Dutch 1164 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,519 Speaker 1: lawyer tied to former Trump deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates 1165 01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,320 Speaker 1: became the first person to be sentenced in Mueller's investigation, 1166 01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,639 Speaker 1: a federal judge sending him on Tuesday to spend thirty 1167 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:30,240 Speaker 1: days in prison and pay a twenty thousand dollar fine 1168 01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:36,920 Speaker 1: after he admitted to lying to investigators. Vanders. Jan Vanders, 1169 01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,000 Speaker 1: one who worked with Gates and former Trump campaign chairman 1170 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:44,400 Speaker 1: Paul Manafort while he practiced law at Scanting, very very 1171 01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:48,160 Speaker 1: famous international law firm, admitted to lying and failing to 1172 01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:53,880 Speaker 1: turn over emails to Mueller's team in February. So you 1173 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:55,640 Speaker 1: gotta think first of all that this guy is a 1174 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,760 Speaker 1: lawyer himself. Maybe that's why they came down a little 1175 01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,719 Speaker 1: hard on him, because why about he didn't do anything illegal? 1176 01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:07,599 Speaker 1: Why lie about this? He didn't do anything wrong until 1177 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,479 Speaker 1: he lies? Now he's going to prison for thirty days. Now, look, 1178 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:14,280 Speaker 1: I'm assuming that the prison he goes to for thirty 1179 01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 1: days is probably not the worst. But but I can 1180 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:18,920 Speaker 1: tell you I know people who have someone actually just 1181 01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 1: recently told me the story of being and being held 1182 01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:24,439 Speaker 1: being detained just for twenty four hours in New York City, 1183 01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,640 Speaker 1: and it's traumatizing. So you you do not want to 1184 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,639 Speaker 1: people like, oh, it's only thirty days. I don't think 1185 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:34,479 Speaker 1: this lawyer, who probably walks around wearing uh three thousand 1186 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 1: dollar custom suits, I don't think he's particularly accustomed just 1187 01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,840 Speaker 1: spending time in any kind of a federal lock up. 1188 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,479 Speaker 1: So this this is gonna be rough. Plus he's reputations destroyed, 1189 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:51,280 Speaker 1: and for what everyone it's nothing? Do we really think? 1190 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:55,559 Speaker 1: I mean, I would love to have someone from the 1191 01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 1: anti Trump media have the discussion with me. It will 1192 01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 1: never do because they'll they'll get buck slapped and they 1193 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,040 Speaker 1: know it. But I would love to have someonething anti 1194 01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:06,880 Speaker 1: Trump media just just try to take the position that 1195 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:11,920 Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been easy to get Hillary and Huma 1196 01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:18,519 Speaker 1: and Cheryl Mills and the whole Hillary email squad for 1197 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 1: some version of lying under oath of the course of 1198 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:24,120 Speaker 1: that investigation if they had wanted to. This is where 1199 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 1: you see the difference between how democrats get treated by 1200 01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 1: the system and how people tied to I don't know 1201 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:33,639 Speaker 1: vendors want what is and he probably is like Dutch 1202 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,040 Speaker 1: Reform Party or something. I don't know what is, you know, 1203 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 1: political affiliation is. It's just in Holland. I'm guessing it's 1204 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,639 Speaker 1: a choice between a political party that's supportive of of 1205 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,040 Speaker 1: a huge welfare state and high taxes, and one that's 1206 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:49,400 Speaker 1: supportive of an even huger welfare state and high taxes, which, 1207 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 1: by the way, is what we're heading for in America too. 1208 01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 1: So I don't think I'm just poking fun without understanding 1209 01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,519 Speaker 1: that situation. But I feel like, at what point do 1210 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,519 Speaker 1: we realize this whole thing is a farce. They're going 1211 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:06,559 Speaker 1: after Vanderswan here for a process crime. Nothing bad happened. 1212 01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,680 Speaker 1: He now has a felony on his record, probably has 1213 01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,800 Speaker 1: to he probably loses his h Yeah, he loses his 1214 01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:16,720 Speaker 1: law license with this one. Um, And you know, the 1215 01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:18,880 Speaker 1: guy's got a wife and kids. You know, there's real 1216 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:23,160 Speaker 1: consequences here. You know, the little hyenas over at MSNBC 1217 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,559 Speaker 1: and CNN. You know, I'm like, hey, yeah, another yeah, 1218 01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:28,720 Speaker 1: another one bites the down. They get all excited about this. 1219 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,679 Speaker 1: This isn't teaching Trump a lesson, This isn't getting even 1220 01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:33,920 Speaker 1: with the Trumpsters and magun all the rest of It's 1221 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:38,519 Speaker 1: just ruining some dude's life for nothing. But it's important 1222 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: for you to remember that because Democrats don't care if 1223 01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:43,759 Speaker 1: if they if they can tie it to Trump, great, 1224 01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:46,599 Speaker 1: even if not sends a warning to the others puts 1225 01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 1: them unnoticed. This whole thing, the whole Mouler probes a sham. 1226 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:54,320 Speaker 1: The deep state strikes back. Our three coming up team, 1227 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 1: stay with me in the White House. We have perhaps 1228 01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,479 Speaker 1: the worst and most stay interest president. This president is 1229 01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,880 Speaker 1: the worst that I've ever seen, the worst president in 1230 01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,599 Speaker 1: the history. I would even argue that he is the worst. 1231 01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:11,960 Speaker 1: After one year, Donald Trump is the worst in the 1232 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: history of the American presidency. Welcome to our three of 1233 01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:20,320 Speaker 1: the buck sex and show everybody, uh so that there 1234 01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 1: you had just just a little little taste, just some 1235 01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:30,400 Speaker 1: bit of what you could expect from the overall media 1236 01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,840 Speaker 1: sense of where we are a year and change into 1237 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:38,400 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. They're not saying that the president is 1238 01:13:39,439 --> 01:13:42,479 Speaker 1: not so great. They're not saying that he has failed 1239 01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:47,759 Speaker 1: to make America great again. They're saying he is literally 1240 01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:52,719 Speaker 1: the worst president ever, the worst president ever. And when 1241 01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,360 Speaker 1: you sit here and you look around, you gotta think 1242 01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,679 Speaker 1: yourself a whole lot of second, how can the media 1243 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,880 Speaker 1: say the worst president? And remember, I'm not They're not 1244 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 1: saying worse than Obama, They're not saying the worst one 1245 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:08,200 Speaker 1: they can remember. They're saying the worst ever. Know, there 1246 01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:10,559 Speaker 1: was a you go back far enough, their presidents who 1247 01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 1: were like segregationists, and presidents who were on the wrong 1248 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:18,360 Speaker 1: side of the slavery issue, and you know, you get 1249 01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,720 Speaker 1: into some of the stuff you think the worst ever 1250 01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 1: and they wonder why we have a hard time believing 1251 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:30,040 Speaker 1: them and listening to them. They wonder, why is it 1252 01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:36,439 Speaker 1: that we don't trust them? Um, And it's because if 1253 01:14:36,479 --> 01:14:41,759 Speaker 1: we pay attention to what it is that there actually 1254 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 1: saying over time, you know, if you try to hold 1255 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:50,680 Speaker 1: them to account for what their analysis, because remember, we're 1256 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:54,080 Speaker 1: just we're just reported, we're just reporters. If you look 1257 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:55,560 Speaker 1: at what they've said in the past, you have to 1258 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,160 Speaker 1: take a step back and say to herself, wait, hold 1259 01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:02,439 Speaker 1: on a minute, weren't we told by and I mean 1260 01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:09,800 Speaker 1: by mainstream outlets. Um, weren't we told that fascism was 1261 01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:13,960 Speaker 1: coming to America a little over a year ago? And 1262 01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,240 Speaker 1: and almost as bad as Hitler was what people were saying, 1263 01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 1: right Trump, Trump was creeping fascism in America. Here we 1264 01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 1: are one year into it, and you know what we've 1265 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:27,200 Speaker 1: seen time and again a president who, for better or worse, 1266 01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,840 Speaker 1: and I obviously think for worse, but a president who 1267 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to enact some of his agenda because 1268 01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:40,160 Speaker 1: of a federal judge somewhere. A president who hasn't been 1269 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,679 Speaker 1: able to enact an important part of his agenda because well, 1270 01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:49,200 Speaker 1: maybe the Congress didn't want to go along. Notice how 1271 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't do what Obama did, which we got a 1272 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:53,479 Speaker 1: pun on the phone when there's the pun on the phone, 1273 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:56,800 Speaker 1: and he just designs that he's going to via executive order, 1274 01:15:57,479 --> 01:16:01,160 Speaker 1: pushed for policy that he couldn't get through via Congress, 1275 01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:03,560 Speaker 1: and people say, oh buck, what about the wall in 1276 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 1: the military. We'll see if that actually happens. And by 1277 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,240 Speaker 1: the way, if he uses his authorities commander in chief, 1278 01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 1: I think that's legitimate. He's not just saying I'm doing 1279 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:12,400 Speaker 1: this because I can do it. He's saying on the 1280 01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,280 Speaker 1: commander in chief, it's a national security threat. We're gonna 1281 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:19,040 Speaker 1: build a wall using our defense fonds. Okay, so, but 1282 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,160 Speaker 1: you have to take stock of this moment in time 1283 01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,240 Speaker 1: when all that the media has been telling you about 1284 01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,680 Speaker 1: Trump and the administration has time and again been at 1285 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:34,360 Speaker 1: a minimum proven to be hyperbolic and in many ways 1286 01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 1: just completely and utterly false lies. You could say that, yes, 1287 01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:45,160 Speaker 1: in fact, it was a case of fake news. It 1288 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:49,719 Speaker 1: has been again and again. Oh one more thing before 1289 01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:51,000 Speaker 1: I get into I just want to follow up a 1290 01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,160 Speaker 1: little bit on the on the in a sense, the 1291 01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:58,760 Speaker 1: unintentional hilarity of all these massive media conglomerates that have 1292 01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:04,639 Speaker 1: legacy advance atage over their competitors complaining about Shinclair Oh 1293 01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:09,400 Speaker 1: Chinclair Tribune merger gives them the whim wassh. We're gonna 1294 01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:13,640 Speaker 1: get there in just a second. But first, remember the 1295 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,479 Speaker 1: alt Right? Remember the all Right.

Well, what happened to 1300 01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:31,800 Speaker 1: the all right. I thought they all right, was about 1301 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,120 Speaker 1: to control therry. Now they all right. You see occasionally 1302 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,760 Speaker 1: these little news stories about how they're like all thirty 1303 01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:40,560 Speaker 1: of them are squabbling with each other, and that a 1304 01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,640 Speaker 1: lot of it. Oh, they didn't like to tell you 1305 01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:45,400 Speaker 1: about this. A lot of the alt right propaganda that 1306 01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 1: was on the Internet was being magnified by bots and trolls, 1307 01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 1: which I would know means that it wasn't actual people 1308 01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:57,320 Speaker 1: that were necessarily sharing or promoting some of those stories. Right, 1309 01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 1: some of them were, But I'm saying that there's there 1310 01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:03,240 Speaker 1: was a magnific cation effect by bots, by trolls, And 1311 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,200 Speaker 1: if you look at some of the Russian propaganda efforts 1312 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,320 Speaker 1: in our social media, it was along the lines of 1313 01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 1: the ault right. But are we really supposed to be 1314 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:15,400 Speaker 1: worried if if Russians are tweeting out alts right memes 1315 01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,400 Speaker 1: during during an election. I think the answer is no, 1316 01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:22,679 Speaker 1: We're not worried about some Russian hackers convincing the American 1317 01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 1: public that fascism is in fact a better political system. 1318 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:28,680 Speaker 1: But we were warned so much. And I said this 1319 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,920 Speaker 1: on election day. Uh, back in the day, I was saying, 1320 01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 1: you know this alt right thing has become such a 1321 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:38,280 Speaker 1: construct of the left. I mean, this is classic to 1322 01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,880 Speaker 1: what they do. And here we are a year in 1323 01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 1: and after they've been warning, goes, oh they all right 1324 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,479 Speaker 1: and more it's so terrible. I don't know. Have you 1325 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:48,559 Speaker 1: have you seen a lot of neo nazi marches happen 1326 01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 1: around the country. The answer is no. Have you seen 1327 01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 1: a rise in fascistic policy from the Trump administration? The 1328 01:18:57,479 --> 01:18:59,799 Speaker 1: answer is no. But you know, when I asked that question, 1329 01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,640 Speaker 1: and we've been talking a lot about immigration throughout the 1330 01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,240 Speaker 1: course of the show today, when I ask you that question, 1331 01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:08,360 Speaker 1: there are a lot of Democrats who would point to 1332 01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:13,120 Speaker 1: enforcing immigration laws on our federal books as as kind 1333 01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:16,800 Speaker 1: of like fascism. It's kind of like fascism. They would 1334 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:20,200 Speaker 1: say that it has, you know, a hint of the racist, 1335 01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,679 Speaker 1: fascistic tendency in it. And you're like, well, you'll notice 1336 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 1: that Democrats aren't willing to openly say they're in favor 1337 01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 1: of amnesty. Democrats pretend that that we should have rule 1338 01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:33,760 Speaker 1: of law when it comes to immigrations. Are are they 1339 01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:37,960 Speaker 1: on this creeping fascism too? I just don't want us 1340 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,559 Speaker 1: to completely When when you got Trump at fifty percent approval, 1341 01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:44,160 Speaker 1: higher than Obama at this point in his presidency. And 1342 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,200 Speaker 1: let me keep it. Keep in mind, that's after Obama, 1343 01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 1: with all the amazing story and hope and charings and 1344 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:56,400 Speaker 1: all that stuff. I had spent a trillion dollars of stimulus, right. 1345 01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 1: I know that some of that spending still had to 1346 01:19:58,160 --> 01:19:59,519 Speaker 1: be rolled out, but you know he had already gone 1347 01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,160 Speaker 1: approval of spent a trillion dollars on all of his favorite, 1348 01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, pet projects of all kinds of the Democrat Party. 1349 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,720 Speaker 1: And you look at his his time in office versus Trump, 1350 01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,439 Speaker 1: and you got polls this week so showing Trump more popular. 1351 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 1: In the media still says he's the worst president ever. 1352 01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:18,400 Speaker 1: What I just want to ask them, I want to 1353 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:23,719 Speaker 1: enforce some standards of sanity here in America in the media. 1354 01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,040 Speaker 1: In what way is he the worst president ever? Other 1355 01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: than his personal style and habits, which sure they could 1356 01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:36,800 Speaker 1: say that's the but no person of any real thought 1357 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:40,680 Speaker 1: processes cares all that much about that. Does it really 1358 01:20:40,760 --> 01:20:43,800 Speaker 1: affect you if the president is a little gruff, for 1359 01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,000 Speaker 1: a little rough around the edges with his language? Answers No, 1360 01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,680 Speaker 1: of course not so. And what do I see the 1361 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:51,840 Speaker 1: worst pread of the economy is doing great. Unemployments super low, 1362 01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:55,840 Speaker 1: Black unemployments lowest has been in decades. Hispanic unemployment so 1363 01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:59,960 Speaker 1: lowest it's been in decades, passing tax cuts and quite honest, 1364 01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 1: doing a very kind of mainstream geop playbooks so far 1365 01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:08,799 Speaker 1: with with a little bit of you know, populist rhetoric. 1366 01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:10,640 Speaker 1: And but you know, all the things that Trump has 1367 01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,519 Speaker 1: actually done so far are other than taking on the media, 1368 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,360 Speaker 1: which I would know. That's why they hate him so much. 1369 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:19,320 Speaker 1: That's why he is I mean, I'm I can answer 1370 01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,400 Speaker 1: my own question, why is he the worst president ever? 1371 01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,639 Speaker 1: Because he has held the mira up to the media 1372 01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:31,720 Speaker 1: and shown that they are in fact feckless little cowards overwhelmingly, 1373 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,800 Speaker 1: not all of them. There are great people the media too, 1374 01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:39,439 Speaker 1: but overwhelmingly the mainstream media is full of fectless people 1375 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:45,800 Speaker 1: with no integrity and a complete lack of spine. So 1376 01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:47,280 Speaker 1: they're saying he's the worst there. I just want to 1377 01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,800 Speaker 1: know and somehow that the alt right has basically disappeared, 1378 01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:51,920 Speaker 1: whereas a year ago there are poised to take over 1379 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,680 Speaker 1: the country or it was just being hyped in exaggerated 1380 01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:56,679 Speaker 1: by the media because it was a way of bashing Trump. 1381 01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: You can pick which one of those is more likely 1382 01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 1: to be true. Well, I'll let you come to your 1383 01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 1: own conclusion about that one. Um. But then, uh, back 1384 01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 1: to where the media is on all this stuff. Uh, 1385 01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 1: Mika Brazinski over at Morning Joe. She really it's really 1386 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,240 Speaker 1: having a tisk tisc moment when it comes to Sinclair 1387 01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:24,120 Speaker 1: and what's going on over there. Um, here's dangerous. You know, 1388 01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,120 Speaker 1: edges here are that he's trying to undermine the media, 1389 01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,080 Speaker 1: trying to make up his own facts. And it could 1390 01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:35,880 Speaker 1: be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could 1391 01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:38,880 Speaker 1: have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually 1392 01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:43,320 Speaker 1: control exactly what people think. And that is the That 1393 01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:47,760 Speaker 1: is our job. That is their job to tell people 1394 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:53,320 Speaker 1: what they what they think. That's their job. You see, 1395 01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,640 Speaker 1: I'm not just coming up with this because I do 1396 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,320 Speaker 1: insightful analysis here in the Freedom Hunt. The reason he's 1397 01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:00,479 Speaker 1: the worst president ever is because he's taken on the media. 1398 01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,439 Speaker 1: That's why they say it. There is otherwise, no, there's 1399 01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:07,200 Speaker 1: no objective standard for that statement unless it's really just 1400 01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 1: about about journalists who are whining about their lack of power, 1401 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:15,200 Speaker 1: their lack of prestige under this administration. That's it. So 1402 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,400 Speaker 1: it really tells you a lot about the profression profession 1403 01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:20,360 Speaker 1: of journalism at this point in America, doesn't it. It 1404 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:25,720 Speaker 1: really is illuminating when you hear that Trump sure enough 1405 01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:28,320 Speaker 1: is hated by the media, not because of what he 1406 01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 1: does as president, because of how he makes the media field, 1407 01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:35,680 Speaker 1: makes them shad, makes them sad on the inside. We 1408 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 1: got more Mika on Sinclair, I'm gonna want to hear this. 1409 01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,040 Speaker 1: Those are the journalists who are the highest paid in 1410 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 1: the market. I noticed a lot of men who are, uh, 1411 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,880 Speaker 1: maybe in their forties, fifties, and sixties. Those are the 1412 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:50,599 Speaker 1: highest paid journalists in the market by far, especially compared 1413 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 1: to the women sitting next to them. I can tell 1414 01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:57,080 Speaker 1: you that for sure. And they should know better, All 1415 01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: of them should know better. This is a really embarrassing 1416 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:04,680 Speaker 1: moment for journalism at this point. We can't afford to 1417 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,599 Speaker 1: um be anything less than perfect. We have to try 1418 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,560 Speaker 1: and strive for perfection and fairness every day. And this 1419 01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:17,320 Speaker 1: was a massive feeling. Is it interesting that she's whining 1420 01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:20,120 Speaker 1: about the disparity between male and female anchors and other 1421 01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,960 Speaker 1: networks without knowing any of their circumstances and negotiations or 1422 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:25,559 Speaker 1: anything else. I think she makes half as much as 1423 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:27,800 Speaker 1: b d I Joe. I think she makes like he 1424 01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:31,800 Speaker 1: makes five million and she makes two points something. So 1425 01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:35,920 Speaker 1: what why? Why is that okay? At MSNBC, she's calling 1426 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,840 Speaker 1: it out and she says that these local networks that 1427 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,160 Speaker 1: are own by Sainclair, why is Mika? You know, this 1428 01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,879 Speaker 1: is just what you see, folks. There's no objective standards, 1429 01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,400 Speaker 1: there's no integrity. It's just people in the media. They 1430 01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:50,720 Speaker 1: are often the worst. They're like actors, except they think 1431 01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,879 Speaker 1: that everything they say is based in fact and their contents. 1432 01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:56,040 Speaker 1: They're they're creating a narrative for all of us to 1433 01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:58,400 Speaker 1: live in. But just start to think more and more 1434 01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:01,240 Speaker 1: of these news readers and and this, this so called 1435 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:05,280 Speaker 1: mainstream media as a bunch of whiney, self indulgent actors, 1436 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 1: and everything else will make sense. We'll be right back, Hey, Tim, 1437 01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:10,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to switch gears for a second here and 1438 01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,679 Speaker 1: bring in our friend Tyler Merritt, who is the CEO 1439 01:25:15,800 --> 01:25:19,120 Speaker 1: of nine Line Apparel.

But not only are they all about 1445 01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 1: America freedom and commerce because we are capitalists here, but 1446 01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:40,679 Speaker 1: also exactly still gotta make a buck, but you guys 1447 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:43,120 Speaker 1: also do a lot of really good work for the community. 1448 01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:47,080 Speaker 1: Tell me about the Nine Line Foundation Veterans Village. So 1449 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:51,160 Speaker 1: our initial initiatives were to help the severely winded veteran community, 1450 01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:53,679 Speaker 1: those who've lost multiple limbs and how to get back 1451 01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:56,800 Speaker 1: to some sense of normalcy. UH, nine apparel. We we 1452 01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,120 Speaker 1: have a lot of veterans that work for us, and 1453 01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 1: it's really year indeed to our heart to give back 1454 01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:04,519 Speaker 1: to the community we once served. Nineline Foundation really does 1455 01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,240 Speaker 1: focus on the individual efforts to get back to some 1456 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:10,280 Speaker 1: sense of normalcy. And while we used to and still 1457 01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:13,720 Speaker 1: do work with severely wounded physically, we're doing a lot 1458 01:26:13,800 --> 01:26:18,519 Speaker 1: more with the emotional mental health care and rehabilitation that's 1459 01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:22,640 Speaker 1: out there, and specifically looking at veterans homelessness. UH. For 1460 01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 1: the last several years, the the the number of veterans 1461 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:30,280 Speaker 1: UH taking to the streets due to drug and alcohol 1462 01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:34,280 Speaker 1: issues has climbed, and we've seen a increase in the 1463 01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,960 Speaker 1: number of veteran suicide and these things are linked together. 1464 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:41,040 Speaker 1: So we want to come up with a solution and 1465 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,280 Speaker 1: not just rhetoric of how might we be able to 1466 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,479 Speaker 1: do this. Government is not going to fix it. UH. 1467 01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:49,160 Speaker 1: A lot of philanthropic organizations like the Nineline Foundation, like 1468 01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:52,840 Speaker 1: the Gary Conese Foundation, like Tunnels for Towers, these organizations 1469 01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,080 Speaker 1: can come together and really do a lot of good 1470 01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,280 Speaker 1: for our vetching community. What are some of the actions 1471 01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,760 Speaker 1: that you take as part of Ninline Foundation? What are 1472 01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:01,280 Speaker 1: some of the programs will give us some of the 1473 01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 1: specifics so folks who might want to get involved and 1474 01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,719 Speaker 1: understand what they'd be contributing to. Absolutely, so we actually 1475 01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:09,880 Speaker 1: have no overhead. UH. We we do focus on the 1476 01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 1: individual at a time, so we have no paid employees, 1477 01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:16,439 Speaker 1: So donation dollars go directly to uh the individuals in 1478 01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:18,839 Speaker 1: need and and we focused our efforts on an individual 1479 01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,479 Speaker 1: at a time because we wanted to make a big 1480 01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:25,560 Speaker 1: impact on on this community. And this is considered a 1481 01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 1: hand up, not necessarily a hand out. A lot of 1482 01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,760 Speaker 1: these guys, especially in the special operations community, they're not 1483 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,760 Speaker 1: asking for help, but they really needed, uh, you know, 1484 01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:35,799 Speaker 1: going to war and coming back with two fingers when 1485 01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:39,679 Speaker 1: you left with all twenty digits. It's a big change. 1486 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:44,599 Speaker 1: And there's a lot that these guys have to bring 1487 01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:48,240 Speaker 1: to the table, you know, just their share will to 1488 01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 1: continue to be optimistic and motivate other individuals who are 1489 01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,200 Speaker 1: severely wounded. It's incredible. It really does put you into 1490 01:27:55,240 --> 01:27:57,400 Speaker 1: perspective of life. When you visit your buddies at Walter 1491 01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,880 Speaker 1: Reads and and all they want to know about is 1492 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:02,000 Speaker 1: tell me about prosthetics. Don't tell me about what I 1493 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,439 Speaker 1: can't do, tell me what I can do. So providing 1494 01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,640 Speaker 1: them a wheelchair accessible home like the one we just 1495 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:10,200 Speaker 1: completed earlier this month with Serinic Morante, it allows them 1496 01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:13,880 Speaker 1: that sense of freedom where they can feel, uh, that 1497 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:17,320 Speaker 1: new sense of normalcy return into their lives. We're speaking 1498 01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:20,320 Speaker 1: to Tyler Merritty's CEO of nine Line Apparel. They are 1499 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,840 Speaker 1: a sponsor here of the show. They also do some 1500 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:27,799 Speaker 1: fantastic philanthropic work, specifically in the area of helping our veterans, 1501 01:28:27,840 --> 01:28:29,960 Speaker 1: which we're discussing now. Can you give us a sense, Tyler, 1502 01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:33,160 Speaker 1: of some of the initiatives that you're either partnerships to 1503 01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 1: help veterans, UH that are coming up or things are 1504 01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:39,760 Speaker 1: events you're planning. Just give folks a sense of of 1505 01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:41,680 Speaker 1: where some of these efforts are are going to be 1506 01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:43,880 Speaker 1: in the months ahead. Yeah, So anyone is in the 1507 01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 1: New York City area, UM, there's an event on Armed 1508 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:49,679 Speaker 1: Forces Day at mom at the airport where we're gonna 1509 01:28:49,680 --> 01:28:54,559 Speaker 1: be flying. I believe it's May sixteenth, calendar form A right, 1510 01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:56,960 Speaker 1: fair enough, but it is our Enforces Day weekend. And 1511 01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,599 Speaker 1: there's two events we have going on. One we've we've 1512 01:28:59,640 --> 01:29:03,040 Speaker 1: done year after year. There's our fifth run. UH. It's 1513 01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:06,160 Speaker 1: a five K ten k in Savannah, Georgia. UH. It's 1514 01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,000 Speaker 1: last year. We raised about seventy five dollars for our foundation. 1515 01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:11,200 Speaker 1: It was a heck of a good time. If anyone's 1516 01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:13,680 Speaker 1: in the Savannah, Georgia area, go to Nineline Foundation dot 1517 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:15,559 Speaker 1: org and you can learn all about it. But it's 1518 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:18,519 Speaker 1: a it's a night run. They'll be beers, they'll be bands, 1519 01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:21,720 Speaker 1: they'll be good festivities. UH, and it's all for a 1520 01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:23,800 Speaker 1: good cause. And then this local area in New York 1521 01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,400 Speaker 1: City same day, UM partner with an organization that is 1522 01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:30,960 Speaker 1: flying in veterans from around the country to just congregate 1523 01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:32,640 Speaker 1: and meet and mom at the airport. So people with 1524 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,519 Speaker 1: private aircraft, helicopters, airplanes are are grabbing a veteran and 1525 01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:39,840 Speaker 1: they're they're taking them uh to meet in a central location. 1526 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:41,680 Speaker 1: The whole idea, it's very similar to the premise of 1527 01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:44,040 Speaker 1: our apparel company. How do you close the gap between 1528 01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:45,880 Speaker 1: those who serve and those who don't, you know, the 1529 01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:50,960 Speaker 1: fire fighters, the police officers, military members and their civilian counterparts, 1530 01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,800 Speaker 1: Because there's a big disconnect that civil military divide. It's 1531 01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,519 Speaker 1: it's prevalent in the United States still, and the only 1532 01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 1: way to get over this disconnect is have conversation. And 1533 01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:02,200 Speaker 1: that is what nine Line Apparel in general does, is 1534 01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,679 Speaker 1: it opens up conversations for those who have never served 1535 01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,800 Speaker 1: and for those who serve to kind of explain, you know, 1536 01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:11,200 Speaker 1: why they joined and what it means to give back 1537 01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,080 Speaker 1: to your community, and just for everybody listening if they 1538 01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:14,560 Speaker 1: want to see more of what you're doing on the 1539 01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:18,479 Speaker 1: foundation side, what's the website, what's the social media call outs? 1540 01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:20,280 Speaker 1: What what should we tell them to go to? Absolutely 1541 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,840 Speaker 1: so nine line apparel dot com. We do definitely list 1542 01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,040 Speaker 1: all of these initiatives as well, but Nineline Foundation dot 1543 01:30:26,200 --> 01:30:30,760 Speaker 1: org is where all the philanthropic activities are centralized.

Check it out. 1552 01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 1: Tyler Merritt, CEO of nine Line Apparel Company, Great to 1553 01:30:55,080 --> 01:30:57,000 Speaker 1: have you, my friend. Thanks for visiting in New York. 1554 01:30:57,520 --> 01:30:59,479 Speaker 1: We like seeing you up north. Hey, thank you very much. 1555 01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,599 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go ahead back that seven other now, 1556 01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:04,160 Speaker 1: alrighty today we're gonna roll into a quick break. We'll 1557 01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:09,040 Speaker 1: be right back. Many of you know, I'm not somebody 1558 01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:13,080 Speaker 1: who gets all that excited about Poles. You guys are 1559 01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:19,680 Speaker 1: down and it makes sense that most of them, all 1560 01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:26,120 Speaker 1: of them says who polls. I gotta admit it says 1561 01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:30,680 Speaker 1: who Poles says? Oh, it's one of my favorite. That 1562 01:31:30,720 --> 01:31:34,520 Speaker 1: was Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen. One of my favorite exchanges 1563 01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:39,000 Speaker 1: to the entire election. Cam Paying says who and by 1564 01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,240 Speaker 1: the way, he was right because the polls were wrong. 1565 01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:43,400 Speaker 1: But nonetheless it's just kind of a fun one. I 1566 01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:45,519 Speaker 1: don't get that excited about poles sometimes, though they do 1567 01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 1: give you a snapshot of something that's worth discussion that 1568 01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:52,080 Speaker 1: doesn't have to do with an election. And I saw 1569 01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:59,800 Speaker 1: this on Pew Research today of American adults haven't read 1570 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:02,280 Speaker 1: a book in a whole or in part in the 1571 01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:07,120 Speaker 1: last year in any form. Now, I just want to 1572 01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:11,040 Speaker 1: say that that doesn't mean that those people necessarily aren't reading. 1573 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:14,560 Speaker 1: Most of us are reading all the time. But I 1574 01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:16,600 Speaker 1: would put out there and this is a reminder for 1575 01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 1: me as well. Even if you're someone who reads a 1576 01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:23,720 Speaker 1: lot of newspapers and it's just reading in your day 1577 01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:29,240 Speaker 1: to day in life, books are a special category. It 1578 01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:32,320 Speaker 1: really is worth it to spend some of your time 1579 01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:38,519 Speaker 1: working through an actual book. I forced myself to do this. 1580 01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,160 Speaker 1: I have several books that I keep on my bedside 1581 01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:44,040 Speaker 1: table so that way I can change it up depending 1582 01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:47,560 Speaker 1: on what I feel like. And also I have a 1583 01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:51,280 Speaker 1: kindle that I'm pretty obsessed with because it allows me 1584 01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:55,000 Speaker 1: to highlight as well as do some other things, I 1585 01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:57,960 Speaker 1: can look up words, so for example, there will be 1586 01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:02,080 Speaker 1: no mixing up of archaic and anarchic. And I'm also 1587 01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:03,880 Speaker 1: in the habit now, and I wish I had started 1588 01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:07,920 Speaker 1: it years ago. Of forcing myself is too strong, But 1589 01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:11,600 Speaker 1: making a point of reading books that you know, we 1590 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,479 Speaker 1: all know what the plot line is. We all have 1591 01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:16,280 Speaker 1: heard of them, we've all read them in the or 1592 01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 1: we've all been told about them in the past but 1593 01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:22,840 Speaker 1: never actually got a signed. So, for example, right now, 1594 01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:27,840 Speaker 1: I'm reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which some people think is 1595 01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:30,599 Speaker 1: one of the great novels of all time. It's certainly 1596 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:35,639 Speaker 1: is a groundbreaking work in the genre of what would 1597 01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:39,240 Speaker 1: become science fiction. Although I gotta tell you I'm much 1598 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,439 Speaker 1: more a Bram Stoker's Dracula guy. I'm just not as 1599 01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:49,000 Speaker 1: excited about Frankenstein. Shelley's writing is a little more dense. 1600 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:53,240 Speaker 1: It's a little harder for the modern I to get through. 1601 01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:55,400 Speaker 1: I know people will say the language is beautiful in it. 1602 01:33:56,720 --> 01:34:01,040 Speaker 1: Dracula almost reads like a screenplay. It holds up so 1603 01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:05,240 Speaker 1: very well. And I only read Dracula last year. So 1604 01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm going back and reading books that we all know 1605 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,000 Speaker 1: and I've heard of but haven't necessarily read. So that's 1606 01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:15,160 Speaker 1: something that I'm I'm allowing myself to do, giving myself 1607 01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:16,840 Speaker 1: the space to do it. And I have to say 1608 01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:21,920 Speaker 1: it's great. I'm somebody who went years without reading anything 1609 01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:27,719 Speaker 1: that was outside of the nonfiction realm. I just didn't. 1610 01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:29,680 Speaker 1: I had this idea in my head, I don't have 1611 01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:33,080 Speaker 1: time for novels. I gotta say now, I make time 1612 01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:38,120 Speaker 1: for novels, not exclusively, but I will at least have 1613 01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 1: one piece of fiction that I'm writing at any given 1614 01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:45,479 Speaker 1: sorry reading at any given time. And I even went 1615 01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:47,000 Speaker 1: through a period when I was in the government where 1616 01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:48,840 Speaker 1: I have to tell you, I feel like I just 1617 01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,760 Speaker 1: stopped reading books. Now I didn't stop reading, and I'm 1618 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:54,080 Speaker 1: sure a lot of you feel the same way. I 1619 01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:57,280 Speaker 1: was reading eight hours a day for my job. I mean, 1620 01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:59,640 Speaker 1: that was my primary job in the government. Was just 1621 01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:02,800 Speaker 1: a constantly read But the same way that I have 1622 01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:05,120 Speaker 1: an affinity that I've talked to you all before on 1623 01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 1: this show about where I like actual physical books and 1624 01:35:09,439 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 1: to have them and to be around them. And there's 1625 01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:16,000 Speaker 1: now research that shows that just having books in the 1626 01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:20,080 Speaker 1: home and being around books has positive effects makes you 1627 01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:22,479 Speaker 1: want to read more makes you think about what's in 1628 01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:27,040 Speaker 1: the books more. Well. This is a constant effort on 1629 01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,840 Speaker 1: my part to try and honestly expand my horizons and 1630 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,120 Speaker 1: expand my my reading list. I think one thing I 1631 01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:40,080 Speaker 1: will do this week is post online the last five 1632 01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:43,320 Speaker 1: or six books that I've read on my kindle, because 1633 01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:45,160 Speaker 1: that's kind of a fun way I think of sharing. 1634 01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:47,719 Speaker 1: So I'll do that on Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. 1635 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:51,320 Speaker 1: I think that's a fun way to share with all 1636 01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:52,640 Speaker 1: of you what what I'm up to you in the 1637 01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,160 Speaker 1: realm of reading. But I say this, you know, I 1638 01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:57,679 Speaker 1: saw this pupole, and I don't say, oh, every needs 1639 01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:01,200 Speaker 1: to read books in any kind of a self gratulatory tone. 1640 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:04,360 Speaker 1: I have to remind myself. I get so caught up 1641 01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:08,120 Speaker 1: in my other work and and particularly reading editorials and 1642 01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:10,439 Speaker 1: news wire and all the stuff that comes in the 1643 01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:13,960 Speaker 1: news cycle that I don't really allow myself the time. 1644 01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:18,080 Speaker 1: And now I've got into a pretty solid habit of 1645 01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:21,240 Speaker 1: I fall asleep reading every night. Now. Some people say 1646 01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:24,320 Speaker 1: it's bad for your eyes, and some people will say 1647 01:36:24,960 --> 01:36:30,080 Speaker 1: that it's not necessarily the most conducive for romance. But 1648 01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:33,320 Speaker 1: I find that it's a good way to relax my mind. 1649 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:37,040 Speaker 1: And at night I read things that aren't generally speaking, 1650 01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:39,479 Speaker 1: aren't tied into what I'm doing for work. I just 1651 01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:41,639 Speaker 1: read things to read them before I go to sleep. 1652 01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,000 Speaker 1: I really like it, and I just would say that 1653 01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:47,439 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the most important skills in life. 1654 01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,120 Speaker 1: And for those of you who have children who you 1655 01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,439 Speaker 1: still have the ability to h give suggestions to or 1656 01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:55,840 Speaker 1: try to guide, that the habit of reading is up 1657 01:36:55,880 --> 01:37:00,880 Speaker 1: there with being on time and person a little cleanliness, 1658 01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:04,920 Speaker 1: you know, personal hygiene. Reading is really a critical life skill. 1659 01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:08,360 Speaker 1: And that there of us adults who haven't read a 1660 01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,320 Speaker 1: book in the last year. Look, I know a lot 1661 01:37:10,360 --> 01:37:13,400 Speaker 1: of them are already reading for other things they do. Um, 1662 01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:15,360 Speaker 1: a lot of them are just super busy with life. 1663 01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:18,360 Speaker 1: I understand it. But the same way that we gotta 1664 01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:20,479 Speaker 1: make time for certain things, I think each and every 1665 01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:24,559 Speaker 1: one of us needs to make time for books. Um, 1666 01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:27,040 Speaker 1: not a lot. Not. And they don't have to be dense. 1667 01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:29,120 Speaker 1: You don't have to sit around and read the you know, 1668 01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:32,720 Speaker 1: the Brothers Karamazov or A Day in the Life of 1669 01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,519 Speaker 1: Ivan Denizovitch or something you know. It doesn't have to 1670 01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,360 Speaker 1: be the Gulag Archipelago. Notice I'm really going after the 1671 01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:41,680 Speaker 1: Russian authors here. Uh, you can just read whatever you 1672 01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:43,680 Speaker 1: feel like reading. But a book is different than a 1673 01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,240 Speaker 1: magazine article. A book is different than what you're gonna 1674 01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:50,000 Speaker 1: pick up in a newspaper, and just the mindset, the narrative, 1675 01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:52,080 Speaker 1: and I think the effect that it has on your 1676 01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,960 Speaker 1: on your thinking and the way that your brain is processing. 1677 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:58,120 Speaker 1: It's just it is different. So that was what I was. 1678 01:37:58,360 --> 01:38:01,760 Speaker 1: That was what the Pew article or the Pew pole 1679 01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,320 Speaker 1: made me think about today. And I wish I like 1680 01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:07,080 Speaker 1: Frankenstein more than I do. I can tell you all 1681 01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:10,000 Speaker 1: go read if you've never done it before, read Bram 1682 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:14,559 Speaker 1: Stoker's Dracula. But Frankenstein, it's one of these books where 1683 01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm kind of reading it to say that I've read it, 1684 01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:17,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So I could say I've 1685 01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:21,759 Speaker 1: been there not. Buck is not impressed. That's my review. 1686 01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:24,000 Speaker 1: All We got a roll call coming up, team, so 1687 01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:26,280 Speaker 1: stay with me.

It's nice name. 1710 01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:15,559 Speaker 1: Next up we get Taylor, who writes the following, uh, Buck, 1711 01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:19,559 Speaker 1: your back backup beeper noise is the same voice for Hillary, 1712 01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:22,880 Speaker 1: and they're both equally wretched.

It's great on Sam, And also 1715 01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:32,559 Speaker 1: why not Butter? Is I think good on almost anything? 1716 01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:38,000 Speaker 1: So Taylor, you have a point there, My friend appreciate it. Uh. 1717 01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:42,759 Speaker 1: Next up is Cheryl, she writes. Sacramento police chief releases 1718 01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:47,719 Speaker 1: video of shooting within days for transparency. Immediately the protests started, 1719 01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:50,600 Speaker 1: and they stopped traffic on the freeway as well as 1720 01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:55,519 Speaker 1: jumping on cars in downtown Sacramento. They've interrupted NBA Kings 1721 01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:59,840 Speaker 1: games at least twice, disrupted public hearings regarding community grievances 1722 01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:03,479 Speaker 1: and recommendations. They say they will not stop until the 1723 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:07,160 Speaker 1: police responsible for the shooting are convicted. Uh. This is 1724 01:41:07,200 --> 01:41:10,280 Speaker 1: in response to this Stefen Clark shooting. I would know. 1725 01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:13,360 Speaker 1: I watched the video and and here's what I here's 1726 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:16,960 Speaker 1: what I can say in the Stefen Clark shooting. It's dark. 1727 01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:19,759 Speaker 1: You've got law enforcements saying let me see your hands. 1728 01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:23,800 Speaker 1: You've got a guy who's running around in backyards and 1729 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:28,160 Speaker 1: and clearly trying to evade police. He was on his 1730 01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:30,960 Speaker 1: grandmother's property when he was shot though, so he wasn't 1731 01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:35,080 Speaker 1: actually trespassing at the time he was shot. And it 1732 01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:40,599 Speaker 1: looks like one of these terrible accidents where law enforcement 1733 01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:43,240 Speaker 1: believed he was a threat. Under the circumstances. It was 1734 01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:47,200 Speaker 1: dark out, it's tough to see. And if they feel 1735 01:41:47,240 --> 01:41:50,360 Speaker 1: like he didn't show his hands, they pulled and they 1736 01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:52,800 Speaker 1: drew down, they fired him. Now. I know this is 1737 01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:56,320 Speaker 1: a tough area though, because I can understand for people 1738 01:41:56,360 --> 01:41:58,719 Speaker 1: who are more skeptical than I am of law enforcement. 1739 01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:01,559 Speaker 1: They say, so all a cop has to do is yell, 1740 01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, put up your hands, and then shoot you. 1741 01:42:04,040 --> 01:42:06,240 Speaker 1: And even if you've shown no threat and don't have 1742 01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:10,280 Speaker 1: a weapon, that's fine. You know, this is where if 1743 01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:14,800 Speaker 1: the officer believes that he or she faces you know, 1744 01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:17,519 Speaker 1: is in is in danger, essentially is in mortal or 1745 01:42:17,560 --> 01:42:21,960 Speaker 1: severe physical danger, they can use lethal force. Uh. In 1746 01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,320 Speaker 1: the video, they yell gun, gun, gun, and start shooting. 1747 01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:29,439 Speaker 1: So you know, the assumption is that they saw a gun, right. 1748 01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:32,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that these officers. I'd be willing to 1749 01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:35,720 Speaker 1: bet quite a lot that these officers didn't go to 1750 01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:38,360 Speaker 1: work that day thinking, well, let me just shoot somebody. 1751 01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:41,760 Speaker 1: It's a it's a terrible thing, um, but it's it's 1752 01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:43,519 Speaker 1: a it's a tough case. It's a tough case. I 1753 01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:45,600 Speaker 1: don't think the law enforcement officers meant meant to do 1754 01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:48,479 Speaker 1: anything wrong, and I think by the book in terms 1755 01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:50,479 Speaker 1: of the procedures, I don't think they'll be found have 1756 01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:53,599 Speaker 1: done anything wrong. But I also understand the sensitivities here. 1757 01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:57,880 Speaker 1: A young man was killed who wasn't actually hurting anyone 1758 01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:00,720 Speaker 1: and didn't didn't actually was a threat. There may have 1759 01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,000 Speaker 1: been the perception of a threat, but didn't pose a 1760 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:05,440 Speaker 1: threat to anyone. So it's it's a very sad circumstance. 1761 01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:08,360 Speaker 1: Now it's to all the protests. There's a lot of 1762 01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:10,720 Speaker 1: people who are I think, upset about it. I think 1763 01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:13,240 Speaker 1: there's also a lot of people who view this as 1764 01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:15,760 Speaker 1: an opportunity to push a political agenda, which would not 1765 01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:19,880 Speaker 1: be surprising given what we have seen in the days 1766 01:43:19,920 --> 01:43:25,000 Speaker 1: and weeks following the Parkland school shooting. Ah. So, Cheryl, 1767 01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:28,519 Speaker 1: thank you very much for your note. Next up we 1768 01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:32,400 Speaker 1: have Lauren, She writes, Last man Standing is the best. 1769 01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:35,240 Speaker 1: Just listen to yesterday's show and wanted to second the 1770 01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:39,600 Speaker 1: opinion ps I think you referenced Crazy Stupid Love the 1771 01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,680 Speaker 1: other day with the Steve Jobs New Balance shoes thing, 1772 01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:46,040 Speaker 1: and I was dying laughing, Lauren, that is true. That 1773 01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:49,400 Speaker 1: is true. I was in fact referencing, uh, that line 1774 01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:54,400 Speaker 1: from Crazy Stupid Love where the guy who plays Gosh, 1775 01:43:54,479 --> 01:43:56,600 Speaker 1: he's from the office.
