He's doing a fantastic job making sure that 4 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: America is prosperous and helping America be as great as 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: it can be. We'll get into the latest jobs numbers. Also, 6 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: where does Spygate stand?

This is the Buck Sexton Show, 9 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really 10 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a 11 00:00:50,760 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: great American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. What people 12 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: are witnessing is that the agenda the President Trump ran on, 13 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: that we've been delivering on over the last two years 14 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: is working for every American. I mean, this Job's report 15 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty three thousand jobs in the month 16 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: of April and the lowest unemployment rate in nearly fifty 17 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: years is simply a confirmation of what the President has 18 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: said all along. If you let Americans keep more of 19 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: what they are and you cut taxes on individuals and businesses, 20 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: you roll back federal red tape, you unleash American energy, 21 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: you fight for the kind of trade deals that put 22 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: American jobs in, American workers first, if the American economy 23 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: would come roaring back, and we're witnessing it, and it's 24 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: truly inspiring. A first quarter number of three point two 25 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: percent after eight years under Obama and Biden where we 26 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: saw less than two percent economic growth. This is a 27 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: great day for America. And it's all a result of 28 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: the leadership the President Trump's spent advancing on the economy. 29 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: Great day for America. Bad day for the libs, Libs, 30 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: the left wing media. They're getting owned right now by 31 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: reality of this economy. Welcome to the Buck Saxon Show, folks. 32 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: The Drudge Report says it, well, today, envy of the 33 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: world unemployment forty nine year low. That's right. We have 34 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: the lowest unemployment rate since nineteen sixty nine. Wages hits 35 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: twenty seven dollars and seventy seven cents an. Our stock 36 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: market is in a huge rally. Trump approval, as Paulier says, 37 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: fifty percent boom. The country is in fact booming. Things 38 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: are going well. We are not in the midst of 39 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: a of a you know, series of major terrorist attacks 40 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: on the homeland. We are not in the middle of 41 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: a grinding war where we're losing, you know, dozens of 42 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: Americans a month, hundreds of casualties a month. We're not 43 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: you know, digging out from some terrible economy or you know, 44 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: anemic economic growth or country is doing well. And yet 45 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: the narrative you here from most of the press, from 46 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: most of the media is that there's a threat to 47 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: our democracy. Oh my gosh, there's a threat to our 48 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: democracy right now. What is the is the super low 49 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: unemployment making them triggered and making them really sad that 50 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: people are getting jobs, that the tax cuts worked, that um, 51 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, that the reality of the economy is undeniable 52 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: and that it's going well. They can hate on Trump 53 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: all they want, but they were saying that Trump was 54 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: going to crater the economy. They can't handle it, folks. 55 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: It's mourning in America. And our jobs are great, our 56 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: styting and look, we got problems the borders and masks. 57 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: I tell you the problems all the time. We have 58 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: to balance it out. Sometime. You're not gonna hear from 59 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: from ninety five percent of the media anything positive about 60 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: what's going on. In the country right now that's attributed 61 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: to Trump. Maybe it's even more than ninety five percent. 62 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: So sometimes I have to take a moment. I you 63 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: know that when the numbers come in, we look at 64 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: what's going on. We really want to put Bernie Sanders 65 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: in charge. I mean, that's supposed to be the answer. Now, 66 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna make sure that U employments dots to go up. 67 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna make sure your taxes go up. We're gonna 68 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: make sure that you know, you can't have a prosperous 69 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: future because somebody else might not have a prosperous future. 70 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: And that's not fair. So you're gonna have to be poor. 71 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to be poor. That's better for everybody. 72 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: Does anyone really think that's a good idea. Let me 73 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: look at these Democrats. What are they What are they 74 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: complaining about? I keep saying this to my liberal friends. 75 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: You're also they're all so upset. They're also, oh my gosh, Trump, 76 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: it's so terrible. What's so terrible? The things that either 77 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: are terrible the borders back add healthcare costs are too high, 78 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: college is too expensive, there's too much public debt, there's 79 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: too much you know, money that we've promised to pay 80 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: back that we're not going to be able to pay back. 81 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there are problems. I'm gonna talk about them 82 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: a lot, but they're not like dire. Oh my gosh, 83 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? And what has Trump done 84 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: to us? Problems? Oh no, Trump. These people are hysterical, 85 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: and not in a haha way, in a calm down way. 86 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: You know, some of them need to have a glass 87 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: of Chardonnay and Zenny, although don't mix those, that's bad, 88 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: but you know they need to They need to calm down, 89 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: They need to chill out. Things are good. But you know, actually, 90 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: what you realize is that there is a large contingent 91 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party that is actively rooting against America 92 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: at this point. There's a large contanging of the Democrat 93 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: Party on the left who would like to see more 94 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: suffering because they want Trump to fail. And what Trump 95 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: has promised is process, parity and sanity in our government. 96 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: He's promised a common sense approach to stop with all 97 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: the ideologically driven craziness about the economy, not to allow 98 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 1: us to become a more socialist country, not to allow 99 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: Marxism and social justice and identity politics to take over. 100 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: And because he's taken that approach, and because things are 101 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: going well, guess what, guess what's happening. Things are going 102 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: things are going in a very positive direction. And the 103 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: Libs hate that. They hate it. They look bad. The 104 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: Paul Krugman's of the World, the New York Times editorial Board, 105 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: the Washington Post that you know, they were they were 106 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: saying that this was going to be a complete disaster. 107 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: And how how foolish all these all these Trump rednecks 108 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: across the country, you know, all of the people that voted, 109 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: people like you and me who voted for Trump, were 110 00:06:53,640 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: such fools. Really apparently not apparently, we're actually doing a 111 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: really good job, or we you know, Trump is doing 112 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: a really good job, and we did a good job 113 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: by voting for him. I think that, you know, if anything, 114 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: the mainstream media owes us a bit of an apology. 115 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: I went an apology. We're never gonna get don't get 116 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: me wrong. And they have no they have no interest whatsoever, 117 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: absolutely none in making this right, in trying to understand 118 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: how was it that. And many of you listened to 119 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: the show, and I give you full credit. You saw 120 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: it early in the primary said, you got it. You 121 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: just gotta under there's something here with Trump, there's something 122 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: that's changed. It's not perfect. He hasn't feel filled all 123 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: the promises. We don't have a wall, I know. But 124 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: the single most important thing for most Americans when it 125 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: comes to the government, well, protect my individual rights in 126 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: my property and you know, adhere to the constitution. Let's 127 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: have the economy be strong too. Let's have people able 128 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: to feed themselves, feed their families, pay their rent, pay 129 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: their mortgage, and let's not have government get in the way. 130 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: How do they explain this what the Democrats have put 131 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: so much stock in this Russia collusion fairy tale, which 132 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: was such a fraud, such a farce, and there's been 133 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: really very little from them in the economy. All they 134 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: talk about is the tax cuts for the rich. Tax 135 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: cuts for the rich, ractity as a tax cut for 136 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: everybody who really pays taxes, almost everybody who pays taxes. 137 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: It's hard to get people a tax cut if they 138 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: don't pay the income tax, which is half the country, 139 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: so start with that. But of the people who pay taxes, 140 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: a vast majority did get a cut, so they have 141 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: more money. That's a bad thing. Now, Democrats opposed that, 142 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: Look what it's doing to the economy. What is the 143 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: narrative of why things need to change? What is the 144 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: narrative the Democrats can really offer for there need to 145 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: be a switch in the trajectory of the politics of 146 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: this country because of what I mean, it's you hear 147 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: crickets chirping. I mean, this is why they can't really 148 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: figure out who their candidates going to be or what 149 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna do, because there is no easy narrative. If 150 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: the economy continues as is, If we just keep moving 151 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: this direction, Trump will crush any Democrat who runs against him. 152 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm very confident in that if we get a cyclical downturn, 153 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: heaven forbid, it's gonna be tough because then the narratives 154 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: that they tell start to make sense. Oh, Trump is 155 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: a corporatist and he just wants to help the billionaires 156 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: and the millionaires and all this stuff. And even though 157 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: we know that that's just claptrap, that's just talking points 158 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: from the left. It resonates when people are feeling the pain. 159 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: But when people are feeling the good stuff, which is 160 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: what we're seeing right now, that stuff doesn't resonate at all. 161 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: All this socialism talk from the left. I think I'd 162 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: rather have everyone getting higher wages, getting good jobs, and 163 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: not being constantly lectured about how they didn't build that, 164 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: how they didn't earn that, how they need to give 165 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: more to the government. The government's the reason for their success. 166 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: All this stuff. It's time to change the approach, Chairman. 167 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: Changed the approach from what the Democrats offer up here 168 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: day to day for why they should get votes. Because 169 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: it's not working. It's not working. So I just here 170 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: to tell you forty nine year low and unemployment. It's 171 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: the best unemployment number since nineteen sixty nine. Donald Trump 172 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: is president. The country is prospering. We have not started 173 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: some war we didn't need to fight. We do not 174 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: have you know, some terrible security you know, imminent security 175 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: threat that threatens the very foundations of this country. We're 176 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: not in the midst of a recession. We're not in 177 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: the midst of deep civil discord. Other than the Democrats 178 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: being crazy and Trump's arranged things are good. Maybe Democrats 179 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: would just say, thank you, President Trump. May we have 180 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: another four years, I think, so stay with me. America 181 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: is a nation of believers, right, It's straight the prayers 182 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: of religious believers helped gain our independence, and the prayers 183 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: of religious leaders like the Reverend Martin Luther King Great 184 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: Man helped win the long struggle for civil rights. Faith 185 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: has shaped our families, and it's shaped our communities. It's 186 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: inspired our commitment to charity and our defense of liberty, 187 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: and faith has forged the identity and the destiny of 188 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: this great nation that we all love. You often hear 189 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: democrats libs attack people of faith for their support of 190 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and there's a real that was all from 191 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday, and there's a very clear 192 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: tone of a kind of condescension, as though people who 193 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: are traditional Christians, who are in a conservative Orthodox Jews, 194 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: or just people of of of any faith tradition that 195 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: want the kind of religious freedom and respect that is 196 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: much more likely to come from the right than you'll 197 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: see on the left these days. And the left is 198 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: people that talk about tolerance all the time, but who 199 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: are deeply intolerant, especially when it comes to religious belief, 200 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: at least non Islamic religious belief, the only religion that 201 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: they really want, they run interference for and will defend 202 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: and will downplay any any negative side of Islam. But 203 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: anything that's Judeo Christian they have, they'll they'll have a 204 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: problem with The left has issues with it. You know, 205 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: the militant atheism is overwhelmingly found on the left, and 206 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: or maybe you'd say strident atheism is overwhelmingly found on 207 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: the left. But they speak in these sneering, snide tones 208 00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: about those people of faith, especially evangelicals who supp ordered Trump. 209 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: But did you even hear about the National Prayer Breakfast 210 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: and what Trump said? Now, of course the media had 211 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: no interest in this at all. They wanted to take 212 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: video of a fried chicken bucket at the Capitol Building 213 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: because Bill Bar didn't want to show up for the 214 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: complete circus the Democrats had planned for him. And oh, 215 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: by the way, there there's a new there's a new 216 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,119 Speaker 1: effort now to get rid of Bar. They want the 217 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: the DC Bar I'm sorry, the DC and Virginia Bar 218 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: Association to investigate him. You know, they had to come 219 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: up with yet he had another way to try and 220 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: Sully Bar's reputation make him seem like he's on something wrong. 221 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I just a bar is you know, I 222 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: don't get excited about people. And look, I don't know 223 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: if he's a nice guy or not, although I know 224 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: people that work for him and say excellent things about him, 225 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: say he's just a totally squired away, solid dude. And 226 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, I hope that anybody who ever worked with me, 227 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: if they were asked, that's what they would say about me. 228 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: If they said Bucks a squared away, solid dude, I'd 229 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: be very happy a try. But you know, Bar is 230 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: such the right man for this moment in time. I mean, 231 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: you need somebody who's a real almost a ringer in 232 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: this role, and somebody who really understands the ins and out, 233 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: who's been there before, who's not going to get shaken 234 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: up by the left's efforts to just destroy it. I mean, 235 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: they're just trying to destroy him. They want the Bar 236 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: Association investigative. Enough, Nancy Pelosi's saying he lied, saying he 237 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: broke the law of Nancy Pelosi's a disgrace, and she's 238 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: an idiot, very powerful idiot, but she's an idiot. Anyway, 239 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: back to the National Prayer Breakfast, and you know, the 240 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: media wanted to show you stuff about Bar. They didn't 241 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: want to talk about what Trump was saying. But you know, 242 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: Trump speaks of faith and makes it clear that he 243 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: has a friend to religious freedom. He's a friend true 244 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: traditional Christians and will have it and has had an 245 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: administration that stands up for those who are religious and 246 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: believe in the expression of their religion and not being 247 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: confined to private practice. I mean that there can be 248 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: some religion in the public square. And I just think 249 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: that Trump has done a pretty good job on this one. 250 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: You know, would I say that Trump himself seems like 251 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: a particularly stern, strongly religious guy. I mean, you know, 252 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't speak for the men. Obviously 253 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: his background in some of his habits would not but 254 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: you know, but who might have cast the first stone 255 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: on all these things? And I'm not here to judge. 256 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: I guess I kind of am because I'm a radio 257 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: talk show host. But you know what I'm saying, I 258 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: think the guys. You know, he's made some choices that 259 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have made. He's done some things that I 260 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have approved of, but he's also done a lot 261 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: of amazing things. Thank you for beating Hillary Clinton. Start 262 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: with that. But he's a friend too. He's a friend 263 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: too evangelicals, and he's and you know, obviously as Vice 264 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: President Mike Pence is certainly a friend too traditional and 265 00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: believing Christians. So I think that despite all the condescension 266 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: from the left about this issue, saying, oh, Donald Trump, 267 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: the billionaire playboy with three wives, he's he's going to 268 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: stand up for evangelical Christians, you know, across the country 269 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: and in the Bible Belt. And actually, yeah he is. 270 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: So those who voted for him under that, well, under 271 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: that agreement, in a sense, they weren't being foolish. They 272 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: were being there. They had foresight, not foolishness. They were right. 273 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: One more thing here from the prayer breakfast. You know, 274 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: there was this terrible synagogue shooting recently. I just wanted 275 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: to hear from a Rabbi Goldstein on this one placlabit. 276 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: My life has changed forever, but it changed so I 277 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: could make change and I could help others learn how 278 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: to be strong. Many have asked me, Rabbi, where do 279 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: we go from here? If something good could come out 280 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: of this terrible, terrible, horrific event, let us bring back 281 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: a moment of silence to our public school system. Of 282 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: silence the public school system, reflection, quiet, contemplation, thinking about 283 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: what really matters, thinking about what we all value. Are 284 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: we really to think that a moment of silence should 285 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: be banned because it could be a time when people pray. 286 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: Do we really want to make the assumption that silent 287 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: prayer to oneself is somehow a violation of the church 288 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: and state separation. I don't know how many of you 289 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: saw this, but it's worth it if you have not 290 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: seen it. The videos and making the rounds of a 291 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: recent siren that played in Israel for Holocaust remembrance for 292 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: the six million Jews were murdered exterminated in the Holocaust, 293 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: and there's video of Israelis all around the country stopping 294 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: what they're doing for two minutes while a siren Blair's 295 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: for a moment of silence. You know, it's important that 296 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: we all take a moment, whether it's day to day 297 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: or you know, whether it's just in church on Sunday 298 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: or whenever you celebrate your real disbeliefs, whenever you go 299 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: to service, it is important to think about what matters, 300 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: and perhaps some of the trials and tribulations that we've 301 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: seen this country of later just a reminder of how 302 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: we need to be willing to take a step back 303 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: and focus on that on that big picture, even if 304 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: just for a few moments, it can bring tremendous clarity. 305 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: So I understand. I think, what that rabbi, why he 306 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: has that entreaty, why he'd like to see a moment 307 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: of silence come back into public schools. There's something more 308 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: than just the day to day and whatever that means 309 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: for you.

Well, we 334 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: discussed that he actually sort of smiled when he said 335 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: something to the effect that it started off as a 336 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: mountain and it ended up being a mouse. But he 337 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: knew that because he knew there was no collusion whatsoever. 338 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: Uh so, uh, pretty much that's what it was started off. 339 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: Excuse me, I'm talking. I'm answering this question. You are 340 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: very rude. So we had a good conversation about many 341 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: different things. Okay, you are very rude. I think I 342 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: think it's uh, you know, it's good that sometimes Trump 343 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: throws a high pitch over the plate to brush somebody 344 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: back a little bit when they're getting on him. You know, 345 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: let the President United States speak. There is far greater 346 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: comfort with interrupting this president than you saw with President Obama. 347 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. You remember if a journalist asked President 348 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: Obama a question that was in any way challenging, it was, oh, 349 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: how dare you? That tone sounded so racist. We hear 350 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: about We used to hear about that all the time. 351 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: I remember this. I have not forgotten the way that 352 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: they were, the way the journalists interacted with and were 353 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: expected by one another to interact with Obama, versus the 354 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: way they act with Trump. But he's correct here when 355 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: he says that this is really about scale, and that's 356 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: where the primary exaggeration comes in him. And that's where 357 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: you really see that you can't trust the Democrats on 358 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: this stuff at all. They have acted all along like 359 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: Russia collusion was a much bigger deal than it was, 360 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: and because they've magnified it so much in their own 361 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: perception and tried to magnify it in the public's perception. 362 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: Trump gets frustrated, and that's why he says, I don't 363 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: know who to believe or whatever, because he understands that 364 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: they want to talk about Russian interference. The reason it 365 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: resonates so much with Democrats in their left wing base 366 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: is because it's a way of saying that Trump didn't 367 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: really win. Okay, that's what they're saying. Trump didn't really 368 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: win the election. Trump cheated or someone cheated on Trump's behalf. 369 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: So he understandably gets frustrated by this. But you see 370 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: this with the Muller probe, with the way the press 371 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: badgers him about Russia stuff. His agitation at being unfairly maligned, 372 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: at being ambushed by people in all these different ways, 373 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: his agitation itself is considered evidence of some kind of 374 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: insidious behavior on his part. You know, he's a bad 375 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: guy because he gets mad. Look, they did the same 376 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: thing to Kavanaugh. I haven't forgotten that Kavanaugh got upset 377 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: at women trying to lie about him and ruin his 378 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: life and ruin his career and destroy him in front 379 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: of his family, in front of tens of millions of 380 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: Americans who were watching. And because he was upset at 381 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: those lies, Oh, clearly he's guilty. I'm sorry, Innocent people 382 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: that are accused of things they didn't commit get upset. 383 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: President Trump has become upset at many points along the 384 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: way because this whole thing, this whole Russia collusion storyline, 385 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: was a lie. And we know that We've known it 386 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: for a long time and the Muller probe has known 387 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: it for a very long time. But they kept going, 388 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: they kept pushing. And now that he's talking to Putin, 389 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: what's the same thing. Is he gonna tell him not 390 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: to meddle the next election? Think of what a stupid, 391 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: a stupid commentary this really is on our press that 392 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: they're did you tell him not to meddle? Would it 393 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: matter if he did? Putin denies that there was meddling, 394 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 1: or that he that he certainly denies that he ordered 395 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: any Russian meddling in the election? You know, does it 396 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: mean that he's not they wouldn't do it again because 397 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: Trump says to him, don't do it. Come on, No, 398 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: no one really thinks that, right. But this is also 399 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: how the standard is always set so that Trump is 400 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: a Putin lackey no matter what he does, because he's 401 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: not willing to spit in Putin's face and slap him. 402 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: They're saying that he's effectively doing Putin's bidding because he's 403 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: not willing to abandon any kind of relationship with a 404 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: head of state of a very important country that we 405 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: have no ability to just cordon off and ignore. They 406 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: act like he's doing has bidden. This is this is 407 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: the game they play. This is why when he kind 408 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: of slaps them down a little bit, I appreciate what 409 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: he's doing. I get it. I think it's the right way. 410 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: And this is also when he when he defends himself. 411 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I would agree he has been tougher on 412 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: Russia than the Obama administration was, and any honest person 413 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: sees that play clip thirteen. I don't think I've spoken 414 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: him about the twenty twenty, but I certainly have told 415 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: him you can't do what you're doing, and I don't 416 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: believe they will be. I don't believe they will. Have 417 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 1: you been very firm at the Russian president, So I 418 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: think I have been. I think nobody has done more 419 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: about Russia than I have. President Obama in September before 420 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: the November election, my November election, if you look, he 421 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: was told by the f and others about Russia. He 422 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: did nothing about it. Done. Boy, he could have done something. 423 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he could have called out the troops and 424 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: he could have said, let's look at this very closely. 425 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: He did absolutely nothing because he thought that crook and 426 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: Hillary was going to win the election. And she didn't 427 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: even come close. So it's just one of those things, 428 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: you know. And that had nothing to do, by the way, 429 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: with Russia, because everybody said it didn't affect the vote. 430 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: You've heard that many times. Didn't affect the vote. But 431 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: I don't want Russia or anybody else playing around with 432 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: our elections. Trump is right. Trump is correct when he 433 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: says that the Obama administration made a political calculation to 434 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: be silent about these Russian interference efforts because they thought 435 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: Hillary was going to win. I'm sorry that was you know, 436 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: that was the way the Democrats wanted to play it, 437 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: and the results are the results. That was Obama's call, 438 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: and it was the right call at the time. I 439 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: would know, because the Russian interference wasn't that important. They 440 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: knew it wasn't going to matter. They only pretended that 441 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: it mattered when Hillary lost because they couldn't believe that 442 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: Hillary would lose. You know, for for a whole slew 443 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: of particularly feminist Democrat boomers, Hillary's loss is some kind 444 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: of a blow to their psyche from which they will 445 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: never recover. You know, they really thought that Hillary's elevation 446 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: to president for eight years would be a kind of 447 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: return to the glories of the Clinton nineties and whatever 448 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: that means, and it would be the ultimate breaking through 449 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: of the glass ceiling and all this stuff. And you know, 450 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: the truth is that Hillary is a nasty, selfish, narcissistic, 451 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: crooked person, and Trump bested her and those who had 452 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: invested so much of their own identity and their sense 453 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: of their own worth and Hillary's coronation, you know, they 454 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: should learn not to look at politics that way. I mean, 455 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: they should understand. But we just want politicians who can 456 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: do a good job. We want politicians who follow the 457 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: Constitution and are competent in their roles. I'm not looking 458 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: for a politician who makes me feel like I'm more 459 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: you know, self actualized, like I'm becoming the person that 460 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: I've always been meant to be. Because this person is 461 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: an office or something. People get way too invested personally 462 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: and how this stuff goes. And that's A big part 463 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: of Trump's arrangement syndrome is that Trump's defeat of Hillary 464 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: people feel like it's a rejection of how they view 465 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: themselves and the and the world that politics plays and 466 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: their own affirmation of self and their own awesomeness one 467 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: way or the other. But he's right about Russia, he's 468 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: right about how, you know, the media is being unfair 469 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: to him and all this stuff. And I just I 470 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: just would like to see at some point a full 471 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: accounting for just how much the media, you know, people 472 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,959 Speaker 1: will pull this together. There's data out there, but how 473 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: much the media really did pretend that the President United 474 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 1: States committed treason and then we were going to find 475 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 1: that out any day now, Because now that was the narrative, 476 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: they can try to shift it as much as they 477 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: want now, you know, to that end about the the shifting, 478 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: shifty shift, about the shifting narrative on the spying issue. 479 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna have Kim Strassel joining us here in a 480 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: few minutes. She's been great. I mean, some of the 481 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: best voices and authors analysts on this whole spygate issue 482 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: have been They're friends of mine, Andy McCarthy, Kim Strassel, Mayman, 483 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: dam Bongino, Sean Davis over at the Federalist, Molly Hemingway 484 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: over at the Federalist. You know, the Federalist has probably 485 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 1: done better work as a website on Spygate and munch 486 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: A collusion than any other one I can think of, 487 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: and they've they've been right all along. But now we 488 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: have to get into what really happened in terms of 489 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 1: the buying. And this is an area where I'm going 490 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: to try to weigh in pretty heavily because I know 491 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: the games that the Democrat left security state folks are 492 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: going to try to play here. I know the kind 493 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: of stuff that they're going to say and the ways 494 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: that they're going to make it seem like what happened 495 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: here was not completely out of control. It was it 496 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: was out of control. It was wrong, it was deeply wrong. 497 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: And even the Vice President got in on it this 498 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: week by saying, look, there's obviously stuff that went on 499 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: here that was really really a problem. Play Cliff twelve. 500 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,959 Speaker 1: It's very offensive to me at a time when we 501 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: were beginning the process of organizing our government nine days 502 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: after the election, these two disgraced FBI agents were actually 503 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,959 Speaker 1: corresponding about sending a counterintelligence guy. I think that's what 504 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: a CI guy is to my intelligence briefing. Well, we're 505 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: trying to form a while I'm getting briefed on everything 506 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: that's happening around the world, just as the President was. 507 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: So we're preparing to take the reins on January twenty fifth. 508 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: The American people aren't going to tolerate this. We put 509 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: out all the facts on the table, no collusion, no obstruction. 510 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: But now the American people have a right to know 511 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: how all this started and if the law was violated, 512 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: those people need to be held accountable. Absolutely, just thinking 513 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: what the Vice president said there though, step back for 514 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: a moment. The FBI wanted to put a spy in 515 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: the Vice president's intelligence briefings to see if they could 516 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: figure out some way to get information about the collusion 517 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: that was fake, that didn't even happen to me. Does 518 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: the FBI? Is the FBI at the senior level? The 519 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: people are they just incapable of embarrassment. That's a word 520 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: we should hear. A lot more of the media should 521 00:30:54,080 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: be embarrassed by the spygate debacle that they perpetuated. The FBI, 522 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: the doj as institutions should be embarrassed about their role 523 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: in all of this, humiliated at their stupidity, ashamed of 524 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 1: their partisanship. Those aren't words, you hear. That's not Oh no, no. 525 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: They think that they were the guardians of the Republic. 526 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: They think they were doing great stuff for America. They've 527 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: been right all along. I mean, they're still people who 528 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: are clinging to the Russia collusion narrative in these places. 529 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: It's astonishing. It's a total outrage buff people. A lot 530 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: of people believe what they want to believe. It doesn't 531 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: matter what facts you present them with. It doesn't matter 532 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: how damaging their delusions are. They would just rather cling 533 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: to them and feel safe and warm in their craziness. 534 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: That's where the Democratic Party is. Should the former vice 535 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: president explain himself on his chealings in Ukraine and whether 536 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: there was Yeah, I hear, it's a very I'm hearing 537 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: it's a major scandal, major problem. Very bad things happened, 538 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: and we'll see what that is. They even have him 539 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: on tape talking about it. They have Joe Biden on 540 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: tape talking about the prosecutor, and I've seen that tape. 541 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: A lot of people are talking about that, but that's 542 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: up for them. They have to solve that problem. Biden 543 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: is not going to last as the Democrat front runner. 544 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: I've been telling you that for a long time. I 545 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: feel very confident in this prediction. And if Biden is 546 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: their nominee, Trump is going to win by an even 547 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: wider margin than he beat Hillary Clinton. Though those are 548 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: my week we can mark this one down. That is 549 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: my prediction for you from the very beginning. If Biden 550 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: is their nominee, not only will Trump win, he will 551 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: increase his margin of victory from twenty sixteen in terms 552 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,719 Speaker 1: of the electoral college. Biden's got some issues and actually, 553 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: my colleague at the Hill, John Solomon, has been a 554 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: thorn in Biden's side doing some stigated reporting on this. 555 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: The basics of the story our as follows that that 556 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: Biden may have fired a prosecutor or, sorry, Biden may 557 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: have used pressure over a US loan guarantee to the 558 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: government of Ukraine to get them to fire a corruption 559 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: prosecutor who was looking at a company in Ukraine that 560 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 1: was making some big payoffs to Biden's son in you know, 561 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: for consultant. This would be a possible violation of a 562 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: whole bunch of things I think foreign corrupt practices maybe. 563 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if nothing else, it's just corruption, 564 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: and it's just outright, you know, talking about now you're 565 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: meddling in a foreign country for the benefit of yourself 566 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: or your family and using the powers of your office 567 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: to do so. In the United States government, that's a 568 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: big no no. So that's a problem that Biden's going 569 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: to have to deal with and explain. Am I And 570 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: from what I'm told, and I worked with John Solomon 571 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: every day, they've got the documentation. I mean, they've already 572 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: got on the record. A senior law I think it's 573 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: the equivalent of the Attorney General in Ukraine has said, yeah, 574 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: this is this is real. The payments were made and 575 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: this guy was fired. And at one point Biden bragged 576 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: at a Council on Foreign Relations meeting CFR the Illuminati, 577 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, Council on Foreign Relations. They he bragged about 578 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: how he got this prosecutor corrupted prosecutor fired. So they're 579 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: going to be some issues there. The other story that 580 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: Sean actually broke yesterday though, had to do with someone 581 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: who is tied to the DNC asking for the Ukrainian 582 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: government to give dirt on Paul Manafort. You know, given 583 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: everything that we have been told, everything that has been 584 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: said about, Oh, how could you sit with somebody who 585 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: is Russian? They always played games with the two. They 586 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: say that they say that Vezlnitzky at the Trump Tower 587 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: meeting was the Russian government. That's not true. She has 588 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: tied the Russian government. But she was just a Russian 589 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 1: lady who said that she had information about Hillary. And 590 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: you know what if she said that she had information, 591 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: what if she was for real and had information about 592 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: how Hillary Clinton had received a ten million dollar wire 593 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: transfer to you know, do some favor for the Russian 594 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: government when she was Secretary of State. What if that 595 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: were would we not want the information to get out? Then? 596 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: Should they not have taken that meeting? This is stupid 597 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: point people, michic Oh, they should have never taken the meeting. 598 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: Called the FBI. That's bull that's revisionist nonsense. But John 599 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 1: broke this story where it was, you know the basics 600 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: of it, or that somebody tied to the DNC was 601 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: asking the Ukrainian government for dirt on Paul Manafort. Well, 602 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: that's a foreign government, folks, and you're asking for opposition 603 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 1: research from that foreign government on behalf of the Hillary campaign. 604 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: That's collusion with the foreign government, isn't it. They were asking. 605 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 1: I think it was the embassy, the embassy Ukrainian embassy. 606 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: This is a problem. Christopher Steele was a foreigner. He 607 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: was using Russian subsources. All that's all foreign that's all 608 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: foreign interference the election. That's on that's on record, that's 609 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: a fact. Clinton campaign folks paid and the DNC paid 610 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: for that information. That doesn't make it better, that makes 611 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: it worse. If anything, the only real collusion with foreigners 612 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: in the election involved the Hillary Clinton campaign and of 613 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: course their media lackeys. But we're not allowed to talk 614 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: about that. I'm not supposed to see that. Kim STRASSEO 615 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: coming up. Everybody stayed with me, How did this whole 616 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: investigation suck? Because I think it's corrupt as hell, and 617 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 1: I think what's happened between Come and NCABE and Brennan 618 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 1: and all of these people. If you take Director Comy 619 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: out of the equation and his actions in twenty sixteen 620 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: and seventeen, would the country be where it is today. 621 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: I think that he did a terrible job. I would 622 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: say he probably led some kind of an effort. The 623 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: words spying has been used. He probably was one of 624 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 1: the people leading the effort on spying. So it's a 625 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: very serious church to me, I know. And we'll find 626 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: out whether or not it was true, and I think 627 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: it could very well be true. But we're going to 628 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: find out pretty soon. Somebody was leading the effort on 629 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: spying because there was definitely spying, and somebody used to 630 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: work for a spying agency. I feel like I should 631 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: at least be able to define that. But what's with 632 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: all the venom directed at Attorney General William Barr. We've 633 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: got Kim Strassell joining us now. She is on the 634 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,919 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal editorial board. He's got a great piece 635 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: up with the Journal right now for fear of William Barr, 636 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: the Attorney General gets attacked because his pro endangers many 637 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: powerful people. Kim, great to have you back, but it's 638 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 1: great to be here. Who is Bill Barr endangering? What's 639 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: gotten these folks so on edge? Kim, Well, it's clearly 640 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Muller report, because if you 641 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: watched that hearing on Wednesday in front of the Senate 642 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee, we barely talked about aspects of the Muller Report. 643 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 1: A lot of it was just a back and forth 644 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: over his original assessment of it, and I think that 645 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: what's going on here is that instead they were focused 646 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: and they heard him say during that hearing that he 647 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: intends to take a very close look at everything that's 648 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: happening in twenty sixteen, and a lot of people are 649 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 1: at risk when he goes down that road of what 650 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: the FBI was up to, whether or not there was 651 00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: an actual predicate for the spying that went on, whether 652 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 1: or not they handled their sources the right way, whether 653 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: or not they should have used that in dossier. A 654 00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: lot of people have a lot of things at risk. 655 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: And the revelation this week about putting a I love 656 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: the way that they described it. It It was an FBI 657 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: human investigator or something. It was a very specific terminology 658 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: the New York John's UD spy anymore but not now. Yeah, 659 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 1: it's never spying, it's never, it's it's surreptitious surveillance. That's 660 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: just ohso on the straight and narrow. But that that 661 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: the po that Papadopoulos had someone who was essentially I 662 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: mean the way the way And we had George on 663 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: the show last week for an hour. He said that 664 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: she was, if not a what you would call a 665 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: a honeypot, something kind of close to it. He said 666 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,720 Speaker 1: that she was very clearly trying to entice him into 667 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: giving certain information that seems like very strange behavior for 668 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: somebody who's working for the FBI and just trying to 669 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: get the lay of the land about whether there is 670 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: a massive international conspiracy to throw an alleg I mean, 671 00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: what do you make of that? Well, I mean of 672 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: that New York Times piece. Well, look, I think the 673 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: word that we're hearing more and more that should alarm everybody. 674 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,120 Speaker 1: And we don't know if it's true yet. And I 675 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: want to say that, but you know, the word we 676 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: keep hearing now is entrapment. And you know, you you 677 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: were in an agency that worked There's always a fine 678 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: line between trying to get people to give you information 679 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: and then somehow trying to track them into saying something 680 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: that can later be used against them. And I know 681 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: that I certainly have a lot of concerns about the way, 682 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,879 Speaker 1: For instance, the FBI ended up going and having their 683 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: little chat with General Michael Flynn not really making him 684 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: aware of their purpose. They're not informing him that they'd 685 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: already read a transcript of his conversation, and essentially not 686 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,479 Speaker 1: giving not warning him that it's a crime to lie 687 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: to them, not having him with an attorney. It seems 688 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 1: in retrospect it was very much set up to be 689 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: a process in which they caught him in a lie. 690 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, we should be asking the 691 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: same questions in terms of what has happened with Papadopolis 692 00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 1: and some of the other people that the quote human 693 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: intelligence or informants or whatever we want to call them 694 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: these days we're doing with some of the other Trump 695 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: campaign members, including Page, including Sam Clovis, and how far 696 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: back by the way they were interacting with these people. 697 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 1: We also don't even have the answer to that question. 698 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: Have we ever gotten a satisfactory answer from anyone, Kim 699 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: about why it was that the Obama administration senior figures 700 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: in this whole drama come and others among them didn't 701 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,560 Speaker 1: think it was necessary or sound practice to tell the 702 00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: Trump campaign. I mean, you know, George Papadopolis wasn't running 703 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: the show. No one thinks that George Papadopolis was some 704 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: huge deal in the Trump campaign. So unless they were 705 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: acting under the assumption that we have no idea why 706 00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: they would be that Papadopolis with this whole Russia email 707 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: al hack that didn't happen. But that's the basis of 708 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,760 Speaker 1: their story. Unless they believe that Trump or essentially somebody 709 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: right in his inner circle, directed Papadoppolus to do this. 710 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,239 Speaker 1: Why not brief them? Why not tell the campaign? You know, 711 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: you got a guy that's doing some freelance and it 712 00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 1: could get you guys into trouble. There's some Russian penetration efforts. Well, 713 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 1: you put your finger on a huge and important issue, 714 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 1: which is that the FBI story has never added up 715 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 1: right by its own words. So Comy has always been 716 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 1: very careful to say, well, from the start, we were 717 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: always looking at individuals associated with the Trump campaign, not 718 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: the campaign itself. Well, you go and you look at 719 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 1: the names of those individuals, and we know who some 720 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: of them were, Carter Page, for instance, George Papadopoulos. It 721 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,400 Speaker 1: wasn't until later Paul Manafort was brought on, but we 722 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: know that they were on their radar screen very early on. Okay, 723 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 1: because according to the House Intelligence memo that came up 724 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 1: all the way back in spring, at some point Comey 725 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,359 Speaker 1: greeked the National Security Council's principal members on concerns they 726 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,760 Speaker 1: had at least with Carter Page. So if that's case, 727 00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,440 Speaker 1: and these folks have only just joined the campaign and 728 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: you're only looking at isolated folks and a couple of them, 729 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, have no real authority, why would you 730 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: not immediately go to the attorneys that we're working at 731 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: the Trump campaigns, former prosecutors like Rudy Giuliani or Chris Christie, 732 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 1: and say, look, we know the Russians are attempting to 733 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: infiltrate our politics. You got a couple of guys here 734 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,799 Speaker 1: that we're concerned about. The only reason I can think 735 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: of that they wouldn't do that, and you just mentioned 736 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: it is because they never were honest and they were 737 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 1: always evaluating the entire Trump campaign from the start. Kim, 738 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: do you have a working theory about how this whole 739 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:53,720 Speaker 1: thing that the underlying foundational conspiracy theory about the Trump 740 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: campaign working with Russia to subvert the election? I mean, 741 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: that's which is what all this was about for two years. 742 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 1: And know now we're supposed to par substruction that also 743 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: didn't happen, but maybe theoretically could have happened, if things 744 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 1: had been different, and they're very upset about this, But 745 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: do you have a working theory about or even just 746 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 1: some questions that if you get answers to, you think 747 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 1: you'll know how this whole thing got started. I don't 748 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,280 Speaker 1: know if we'll ever know exactly how it got started, 749 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:27,840 Speaker 1: because unfortunately the FBI has been so cajun Also because 750 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 1: my working theory on how it got started has more 751 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,239 Speaker 1: to do with kind of I think feelings than it 752 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 1: does with evidence. People get asked me all the time, 753 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 1: do you think this was partisan? Right? And I don't 754 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: in regard that, I don't in the technical term of 755 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 1: that word right. So when someone's partisan, it means that 756 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,080 Speaker 1: they don't like to certain you know, they only like 757 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 1: one parties or one candidates views on things. And I 758 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: do not believe that Jim Comey and Andy McCabe sat 759 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 1: around it said we hate Republican tax policy and so 760 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: we're going to try to take out the Republican nominee. Right. 761 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,319 Speaker 1: But what I do think is it is impossible not 762 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: to believe, especially given the incredible loathing that Jim Comey 763 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,399 Speaker 1: has expressed for Trump ever since he was fired. That 764 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: didn't come about overnight and I think that basically Jim 765 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: Comey all the way in the beginning had a case 766 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 1: of Trump derangement syndrome, and he just couldn't stand this guy. 767 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,239 Speaker 1: And we know he was incredibly arrogant, and we knew 768 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 1: he was used to breaking all the rules, and he 769 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: figured he'd saved the country from this. And that's how 770 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 1: you start out by looking at some individual members who 771 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: had been on the FBI's radar screen in the past, 772 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: like Carter Page, and then you go into a full 773 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 1: blown counter intelligence investigation. What about what's your take on 774 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 1: Sally Yates in this whole thing. I've always been somebody 775 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: who feels like she had she appeared at some very 776 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: key moments and has had a very easy pass, certainly 777 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 1: from the media. You know, her whole use of the 778 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 1: Logan Act, and this pretense that Flynn was going to 779 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,400 Speaker 1: be black mailable because he had lied to the Vice president, 780 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: as though the Russians could say, give us all your 781 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,720 Speaker 1: secrets or else we'll tell the vice president you lied 782 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 1: to him. And then a general of thirty years experience 783 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: would say, oh, yeah, I'll bend to the Russians on 784 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: this because it's so scary to have lied to it. 785 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: It didn't make sense. The blackmail theory she had the 786 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: Logan Act was clearly pretextual I and that's laughable to 787 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: anybody who takes any of this stuff seriously. What do 788 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 1: you think about Yates and all of this. I've always 789 00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: felt like we're gonna that at some point there'll be 790 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 1: more that comes out on her. But maybe that's just 791 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,400 Speaker 1: my gut leading me further than it should. So I 792 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: think everything you need to know about Sally Yates as 793 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: a bad actor you can get by reviewing the way 794 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: in which she was fired, and that she was given 795 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,440 Speaker 1: an executive order by the President to do with immigration 796 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,759 Speaker 1: and she refused to implement it. And that's not how 797 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 1: you behave when you're an appointed member of the government 798 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: working for the chief executive. If you don't agree with 799 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: an order, you resign, but you don't resist from your 800 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: public office. And that is essentially what she was doing 801 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 1: with the logan At claims you brought up, that the 802 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 1: spurious blackmail claims you brought up. She was undoubtedly integral 803 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,839 Speaker 1: in that FBI meeting I mentioned earlier in terms of 804 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: entrapping General Flynn an a lie question, But I think 805 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: if you go back. Look, one of the big questions 806 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 1: here that we're probably going to get some answers on 807 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,880 Speaker 1: from either bar or from the Inspector General when it 808 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,760 Speaker 1: comes out with as a report is to the extent 809 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,280 Speaker 1: that the White House and other senior people were involved 810 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,240 Speaker 1: in all of this from a political perspective from the start. 811 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,760 Speaker 1: And you know, look, Sally Yate says at the Department 812 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 1: of Justice would have been more read in than most people, 813 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: and we have not, really, you are correct, heard what 814 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,880 Speaker 1: decisions she was making along the way and the degree 815 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,240 Speaker 1: to which she was being notified, and she was making calls, 816 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 1: and that's going to I will not be surprised one 817 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 1: bit if she's very central to this narrative by the end, Keamy, 818 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: before let you go, what do you think Obama new? Well, look, 819 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, go back. I mentioned this meeting that Jim 820 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,480 Speaker 1: call Me had with National Security Council principles all the 821 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: way back in the spring. Well, one of those principles 822 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,360 Speaker 1: was Barack Obama. So it's Joe Biden. I mean, basically, 823 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 1: what that means is that from the very start, Jim 824 00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,320 Speaker 1: call Me had briefed the White House the senior members 825 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,440 Speaker 1: there that the FBI had eyes on Trump and Russia, 826 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,920 Speaker 1: and you know, I find it very hard to believe 827 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 1: that at that from that moment on on that the 828 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 1: Obama White House neither interacted with that anymore nor didn't 829 00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: pass that information onto yet other people. And I think 830 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 1: that's a very concerning thing. Jim call me likes to 831 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 1: present himself as this guy who doesn't get engaged in politics, 832 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 1: keeps his distance from presidents in the White House. That's 833 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,319 Speaker 1: that's clearly not the case, and it's it's another case 834 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 1: of Jim come playing ropa dope with the facts. Kim 835 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: Strassel everybody for fear of William Barr's or piece right 836 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: now up in the Wall Street Journal where she's on 837 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 1: the editorial board. Kim, thanks much for joining us. As 838 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,880 Speaker 1: always great to talk to you have a fantastic weekend. 839 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is standard operating procedure for any FBI investigation, 840 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,800 Speaker 1: undercover operations, the use of informants. These are investigative tools 841 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,880 Speaker 1: that help the FBI go places that they cannot go themselves. 842 00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,160 Speaker 1: An FBI agent trying to get to the bottom of 843 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 1: a string of bank robberies, for example, or a terrorist group, 844 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: and yes, even a campaign for president that has you know, 845 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,959 Speaker 1: these suspicious ties to a foreign adversary. An FBI agent 846 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 1: can't just announce themselves and start asking questions. So you're 847 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,280 Speaker 1: going to use these tools that help again, the FBI 848 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: go where it can't go on its own. It's important 849 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 1: to point out and I've heard the President, you know, 850 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 1: this morning. He's already tweeting about it, but he's calling 851 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 1: the spying, and his allies will say this is abuse. 852 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,400 Speaker 1: These types of operations are highly scrutinized inside the Justice Department, 853 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,920 Speaker 1: and there's oversight, so you know this will be what 854 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,799 Speaker 1: we're going to see politics come out of this. It's 855 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 1: important to keep that in mind. These are tools the 856 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:55,640 Speaker 1: FBI uses every single day. Okay, let's pull apart the 857 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 1: nonsense here. That's James Coombe secretary, former secretary or not 858 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 1: really a sec terry, but he's like an errand boy 859 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,319 Speaker 1: for call me at the FBI seeing your supervisory something 860 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:10,240 Speaker 1: or other. He's he's a CNN's FBI pajama boy, and 861 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 1: you know he's there. He's run an interference for the 862 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:14,840 Speaker 1: narrative here, right, what's the narrative? All the narrative is 863 00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 1: that it wasn't spying. It was totally legit. Okay, A 864 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: few thinks here at Chief, A few thinks here for 865 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,880 Speaker 1: my former national security colleague over at the f the 866 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 1: f mister, THEO you needed a miracle, I bring you 867 00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 1: the FBI. That the FBI does something does not make 868 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 1: it de facto justified. That the FBI uses its discretion 869 00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: to open an investigate investigation in a certain way does 870 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:51,399 Speaker 1: not indicate that the investigation was properly handled. And people 871 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 1: that keep saying there's a process as a process as 872 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: a process fail to understand that we know there's a process. 873 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:03,560 Speaker 1: The problem is it was abused. The problem is that 874 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 1: if you have people who are acting in bad faith 875 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 1: for partisan reasons in places like the FBI, there is 876 00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: plenty of leeway, plenty of discretion to engage in underhanded 877 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:25,359 Speaker 1: dirty politics. And that is quite obviously what went down here, 878 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: my friends, just a question of how much, where, when who? 879 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 1: We know it happened though, And to say that there's oversight, no, 880 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 1: there's not for counterintelligence investigations. That's why they ran this 881 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 1: as a counterintelligence investigation. Why wasn't this done as a 882 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 1: more standard criminal investigation. No, they wanted to keep it 883 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 1: under the auspices of a counterintelligence investigation. That's why they 884 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 1: went the fives are out because there they have a 885 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 1: very different Essentially, the standard for a counter intelligence investigation 886 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,480 Speaker 1: is whatever that someone at the f b I thinks 887 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 1: is a national security concern worthy of a counterintelligence investigation, 888 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,279 Speaker 1: and it can all be kept secret. It all goes 889 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:11,600 Speaker 1: to defies the court. And remember, if Hilary had won, 890 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 1: we would never have found out about any of this. 891 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 1: And that's just on the process side. When you add 892 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: into it, this was a presidential campaign advisor. This was 893 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 1: somebody you know we worry about. I mean when I 894 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 1: was the NYPD and the Intel Division, we used to 895 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:40,840 Speaker 1: have to justify any kind of surveillance or any collection 896 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 1: that we had that touched on anyone's First Amendment rights 897 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,840 Speaker 1: because we're so concerned about the chilling effect, right, and 898 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 1: there's all this, oh we kind of law enforce in 899 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: spying on people for their lawful religious assembly and all this. 900 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 1: You know, there are all these hoops you have to 901 00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,279 Speaker 1: jump through to protect peoples civil rights. Apparently the FBI, 902 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,399 Speaker 1: if you run a counter intelligence vestigation, you knew whatever 903 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 1: you want and they say, oh, yeah, I think this 904 00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 1: guy talked to a Chinese guy who might be a 905 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: Chinese intelligence official or something. So I'm just gonna download 906 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: all of his emails and listen to all of his 907 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: phone calls because the FISA court it's just gonna rubber 908 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 1: stamp whatever I say. But we see, here's the abuse 909 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 1: of FISA and the problem with FISA that some people 910 00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: have recognized all along. It's not just FISA, by the way, 911 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 1: it's just the FBI counterintelligence process, and the problem has 912 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,240 Speaker 1: been that it requires people to be acting in good faith. 913 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:31,800 Speaker 1: You give people power in government, you better hope that 914 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:36,840 Speaker 1: they're using it appropriately because otherwise, well you see what happens. 915 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: They did not use it appropriately. This was not done 916 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 1: in good faith. These are individuals we're talking about here 917 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: who exploited their government authority for partisan gain. And you 918 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 1: can say, well, buck where they weren't necessarily Democrats. Yeah, 919 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: but they're anti Trump. There's an anti Trump partisanship that's 920 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,799 Speaker 1: at the at the heart of this. And they're also 921 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,720 Speaker 1: it desperately avoid the usage of the term spying because 922 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,360 Speaker 1: when it really hits home with people spying on the 923 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 1: Trump campaign, that is what happened, that is clearly nefarious. 924 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 1: That does bring about a public understanding of just how 925 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 1: severe a transgression this was. And Bill Barr is going 926 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,800 Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of this. Bill Barr is 927 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,080 Speaker 1: going to be the most important person that President Trump 928 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 1: has ever appointed to any office. You watch and see 929 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 1: a lot of the policies that we have put in 930 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 1: place has kind of helped lead the devastation in Venezuela, 931 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,879 Speaker 1: and we've sort of set the stage for where we 932 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 1: are arriving today. This particular bullying and the use of 933 00:54:54,000 --> 00:55:02,399 Speaker 1: sanctions to eventually intervene and make whichem change really does 934 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,160 Speaker 1: not help the people of countries like Venezuela, and it 935 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,320 Speaker 1: certainly does not help, and it's not in the interest 936 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,440 Speaker 1: of the United States. The problems that Venezuela have been 937 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 1: years in the making. For a member of Congress who, 938 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:18,239 Speaker 1: frankly one who sits on an important national security committee 939 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 1: to make a statement blaming America first in this way, 940 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 1: it's not only ignorant, it's disgusting. It's a congresswoman doesn't 941 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 1: know what she's talking about. Nicholas Maduro is a socialist 942 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,279 Speaker 1: and dictator who's taken what was once one of the 943 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 1: most prosperous nations in this hemisphere and brought it literally 944 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 1: to a level of deprivation and oppression and poverty that 945 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 1: we have never seen. Nicholas Maduro has no legitimate claim 946 00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: to power, and Nicholas Maduro must go. Ilahan Omar are 947 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 1: not making many friends among the Republican establishment with her 948 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:55,480 Speaker 1: incredibly stupid comments blaming America. Blaming America first. You see 949 00:55:55,480 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: that for Trump and Republicans, America first means putting our 950 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 1: interest first and taking a certain pride in this country 951 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 1: and having that pride manifest itself in accepting that we 952 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,880 Speaker 1: are a unique people and have interests that are specific 953 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,360 Speaker 1: to us, and we should not place the needs of 954 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,480 Speaker 1: the rest of the world ahead of ours. For the left, 955 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:23,439 Speaker 1: it's blame America first. It's find a way to look 956 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:26,759 Speaker 1: down on what we've done and make everyone feel like 957 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:31,360 Speaker 1: somehow we are the cause of so many of the 958 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 1: problems in the world. You know, we are the ones 959 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:40,719 Speaker 1: that have created the circumstance of Venezuela's deprivation, the sanctions. 960 00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 1: You know, elan Omar, she's on a foreign affairs committee, folks. 961 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 1: This is not like somebody that should be able to 962 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,240 Speaker 1: get away with saying stupid things about foreign policy without 963 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:53,920 Speaker 1: any refutation that being refuted. I think refutation is that 964 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:55,640 Speaker 1: I just make a noun out of something. That is 965 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,080 Speaker 1: that a word? Producer Mike, tell me if refutation is 966 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,360 Speaker 1: a word? If not, it should be or else I 967 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 1: will refute anyone who disagrees with me. But she knows 968 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 1: she should be repudiated. That's a fun word to use too. 969 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 1: What she's saying here is stupid. It's not just that 970 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,359 Speaker 1: I think it's wrong. It's it's dumb because these sanctions, 971 00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:20,960 Speaker 1: until very recently on Venezuela were targeting individuals which would 972 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 1: not affect the broader economy, would not affect the ability 973 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: of the Venezuelan people to get access to say, you know, 974 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 1: rice flower. Mike says, it is a word. Thank you, Producer, Mike. 975 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 1: There the act of refuting. Go figure something such as 976 00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,640 Speaker 1: an argument that refutes someone or something there you go. 977 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 1: I mean, Mike, what can I tell you? Man? I 978 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 1: got skills to pay them bills? So you know, this 979 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,360 Speaker 1: is this is what you see when you have someone 980 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 1: who has been elevated by Democrats because of really largely 981 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 1: because of identity politics, someone who should have a voice 982 00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,960 Speaker 1: in foreign policy. They think because she fits into the 983 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,880 Speaker 1: following categories. Ilhan Omar, we should listen to what she 984 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,640 Speaker 1: says on foreign policy. Meanwhile, she's very ignorant on foreign policy, 985 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: and clearly not only she's not like Israel. You start 986 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: to get the sense, how much does she really like America? 987 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,240 Speaker 1: You know, just just let that one kind of let 988 00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: that one merit it a little bit. How much do 989 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: we think she really likes America? I think there are 990 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:25,640 Speaker 1: legitimate questions to ask about what she thinks of this country, 991 00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 1: and I saw here, like fuck, it's more than just 992 00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,560 Speaker 1: questions about it. I think she probably thinks this place 993 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,440 Speaker 1: is terrible, but there are plenty of people that come here. 994 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 1: I want to enjoy the benefits of this country while 995 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 1: also trying to tear it down from the inside. That's 996 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:41,200 Speaker 1: not unusual on the left. Many leftists do that. But 997 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,920 Speaker 1: Venezuela is a case study in a country doing what 998 00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 1: the left in this country would want it to do, 999 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: which is redistribute wealth, massive state control over the economy, 1000 00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 1: social justice at the core of economic policy, grievance collection 1001 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 1: over a long period of time that's used to justify 1002 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 1: the violation of individual rights. At present because of alleged 1003 00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,640 Speaker 1: or real historical injustices. That's all that. That's all stuff 1004 00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 1: that Venezuela did, class warfare, these are these are the 1005 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:18,200 Speaker 1: ways that Venezuela became a country with an inflation rate 1006 00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 1: that's so high I can't even remember what the number 1007 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 1: is anymore. It's it's completely absurd. And ilhan Omar is 1008 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,440 Speaker 1: running around saying that this is this is somehow our fault. 1009 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:32,160 Speaker 1: It's not our fault. The only question I have is 1010 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 1: does she know that you know? Is she being dishonest 1011 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,480 Speaker 1: or just being dumb? It is tough. It is often 1012 00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 1: tough to tell with democrats. I thought it was very 1013 00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 1: interesting that this story that's out there. I think it 1014 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 1: comes from Pompeo directly, that Maduro was going to go 1015 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,760 Speaker 1: to Cuba, but then the Russian said, no, you got 1016 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:54,200 Speaker 1: to stick it out. Huh. If that's true, then here 1017 00:59:54,240 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 1: we are backing strongly, backing an opposite position figure to 1018 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,520 Speaker 1: someone who is a Russian really running a Russian client state. 1019 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, the Venezuelan regime under Maduro is as we 1020 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:15,040 Speaker 1: see from regimes in general that are despotisms or authoritarian 1021 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,760 Speaker 1: socialist hell holes. They ally themselves with the worst countries 1022 01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,680 Speaker 1: all over the world. That's definitely the case in Venezuela. 1023 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,480 Speaker 1: But I just think it's noteworthy that we have yet 1024 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 1: again an instance of the Trump administration squaring off against 1025 01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,480 Speaker 1: Putin in a foreign country where I thought we were 1026 01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 1: doing Putin's bidding all the time. Well, we're doing Putin's bidding. 1027 01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,640 Speaker 1: Why do we care? Why are we making life harder 1028 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: for Maduro when the Russians have clearly made his continuation 1029 01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 1: in that role a foreign policy goal for themselves. Oh 1030 01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,280 Speaker 1: you mean that's all just that's all a lie that 1031 01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: Trump's a Russian asset to Oh yeah, that's right, not 1032 01:00:55,360 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 1: a not a surprise, my friends. I wanted to just 1033 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:04,160 Speaker 1: switch gears from moment here forks, that's a Friday's We're 1034 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 1: coming at a lot of ground kids skipping school for 1035 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,000 Speaker 1: any kind of protest I think is I'm not gonna 1036 01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:12,000 Speaker 1: say it's a form of child abuse, but it definitely 1037 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:16,280 Speaker 1: really bothers me. I think the politicization of children that 1038 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 1: goes on, and this is culturally and intellectually or ideologically, 1039 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 1: it is way more prevalent on the left. I know 1040 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 1: leftists who will say that, you know, ten year old 1041 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 1: should be listened to on matters of national policy. I 1042 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,600 Speaker 1: don't know how much crazier they think things can get 1043 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:37,360 Speaker 1: than what they're advocating for. But here's MSNBC celebrating kids 1044 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 1: getting pulled out of school for what Oh, not gun 1045 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 1: violence legislation issues this time, but for climate climate change stuff. 1046 01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Wow nineteen. So Friday's for future is this idea of 1047 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 1: students skipping school on Friday to essentially say, look, why 1048 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:57,840 Speaker 1: do I need to go to school if I don't 1049 01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 1: know what my future is going to look like based 1050 01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:00,760 Speaker 1: on the state of the plan it So that's what 1051 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of these students have been doing for a 1052 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 1: long time. Actually, I'll introduce you to sum right here. 1053 01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 1: These are they have been skipping school. This is Ella, 1054 01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 1: Jai and Polar And so tell me first how old 1055 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: you guys are and tell me about skipping school and 1056 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 1: why and what that's all about. So, um, I've been 1057 01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,920 Speaker 1: skipping school for eleven weeks now, and it is a 1058 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,880 Speaker 1: sacrifice that we have to make because we are missing 1059 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 1: important things. But we realize that if we don't skip 1060 01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 1: this school, we might not have a future. So we 1061 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,760 Speaker 1: need to In the twenty twenty election, I'm scared for 1062 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 1: my feature I'm scared that the politicians won't won't be 1063 01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,680 Speaker 1: declaring a climate emergency, won't be taking climate passion. I mean, 1064 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:46,760 Speaker 1: this is completely insane. I think that the young girl 1065 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 1: said she skipped eleven weeks of class to be involved 1066 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 1: in protesting and activism, and I believe these kids are scared. 1067 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 1: They don't know any better. They've got adults telling they 1068 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: might not have a future. Don't don't go to school 1069 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: protest climate change because you may not have a future. 1070 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 1: They're telling them the world is going to end. I'm 1071 01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:09,640 Speaker 1: not exaggerating. That's what these kids are being told. This 1072 01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 1: is psychological child abuse against kids. This is something that 1073 01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,760 Speaker 1: any adults should feel ashamed of. But of course MSNBC 1074 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,720 Speaker 1: is celebrating this. Oh, they love kids involved in politics 1075 01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 1: and the activism of children because children are inherently when 1076 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 1: they become politicized, they are shielded by virtue of their 1077 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:35,040 Speaker 1: expected ignorance. We expect kids not to know about this stuff. 1078 01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,640 Speaker 1: We expect children to say stupid things about politics, and 1079 01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,760 Speaker 1: so therefore it's mean when you tell them they're saying 1080 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 1: dumb things. So they are messengers that are invulnerable at 1081 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,480 Speaker 1: some level. That's why the left likes to use them 1082 01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,560 Speaker 1: so much. Also, they pull out your heartstrings because they're 1083 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:52,439 Speaker 1: little kids. MSNBC just pulls out your brain strings because 1084 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 1: they're a bunch of idiots. We'll be right back, Okay. 1085 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 1: So Facebook is banning several far right extremists from its 1086 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,600 Speaker 1: services because it can it is them dangerous. This includes 1087 01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,000 Speaker 1: the Nation of Islam leader Lewis Farrakon. Right wing conspiracy 1088 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:11,240 Speaker 1: theorist Alex Jones also banned Paul Nalen, an anti Semite 1089 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:17,040 Speaker 1: who ran unsuccessfully for Congress, along with fringe personalities Milo Janopolis, 1090 01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:23,960 Speaker 1: Laura Lumer, and Paul Joseph Watson, right wing farracon What 1091 01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,880 Speaker 1: that's not correct? The media was saying that all yesterday. 1092 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,919 Speaker 1: I said, hold on a second, guys, what is going 1093 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 1: on here? Media, social well media getting it wrong and 1094 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,280 Speaker 1: social media banning people. What do we make of this 1095 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 1: considering that they're banning them not for violations of specific 1096 01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,760 Speaker 1: conduct or codes of conduct, but just because they really 1097 01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:49,680 Speaker 1: really don't like them and think they're bad. Our next guest, 1098 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,959 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, is a buddy of mine who has dealt 1099 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 1: with a little bit of social media censorship himself. He is, 1100 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,760 Speaker 1: of course the host of the Jesse Kelly Show on 1101 01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:03,280 Speaker 1: KPRC in Houston from six to eight Eastern and does 1102 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,959 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of other things. He's also nine feet tall. 1103 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,840 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, great to have you back. Tell me, sir, 1104 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:14,400 Speaker 1: what do you what's your reaction after? Yeah, some odious 1105 01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,760 Speaker 1: characters get banned, but I don't think anybody who knows 1106 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 1: anything believes that it's going to stop there. They want 1107 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,000 Speaker 1: to see what the reaction is going to be when 1108 01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 1: they pick off the weak one who's sick in the back, 1109 01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 1: and then they want to see how the rest of 1110 01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 1: the herds going to react. I mean, I hate to 1111 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 1: say things like we need to unite in defensive Lewis Barracon, 1112 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,960 Speaker 1: but we do the truth of the matteries we do. 1113 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that he's a scumbag. Let him speak, 1114 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:44,440 Speaker 1: let everybody speak, and what the best ideas win. I 1115 01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 1: also think it's interesting that when it comes to social 1116 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 1: media censorship, you have the left all of a sudden is, oh, 1117 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,360 Speaker 1: but they're private companies. They can do whatever they want. 1118 01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 1: The left wants to wants to, uh, you know, control 1119 01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,440 Speaker 1: what private companies do all the time. They want to 1120 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,800 Speaker 1: control what kind of toilet paper they have in the bathrooms, 1121 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,800 Speaker 1: what kind of lightbulbs they have in the conference rooms. 1122 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 1: I mean, they want to tell them how much of 1123 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,000 Speaker 1: their money they're able to keep, and what kind of 1124 01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,760 Speaker 1: social justice programs they have to donate to. Oh, but 1125 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,880 Speaker 1: when it comes to free speech regulation, or rather the 1126 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,800 Speaker 1: regulation of speech, they're like, well, they're private companies, then 1127 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want to do. And it's 1128 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,080 Speaker 1: because I think they know Jesse that they've got a 1129 01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:28,360 Speaker 1: big built in advantage here. Silicon Valley is very left 1130 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,120 Speaker 1: and this is always going to cut against conservatives when 1131 01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:35,120 Speaker 1: there's discretion involved. Always, and then because the left, I 1132 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 1: mean leftism in general, which should tell us where we 1133 01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 1: should stand. Leftism in general is only about control. They're 1134 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,960 Speaker 1: only about victory. You're right. They want to tell the 1135 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 1: employers what they have to pay their employees. There's nothing 1136 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,240 Speaker 1: the left doesn't want to dictate to private companies until 1137 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,200 Speaker 1: they find out that between Facebook and Twitter they get 1138 01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,400 Speaker 1: they have two point five billion users. And oh, by 1139 01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:58,640 Speaker 1: the way, we may be able to silence the people 1140 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 1: who disagree with this. That's use it to a leftist years. 1141 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't want to make an absurd 1142 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:08,000 Speaker 1: comparison here, but leftists throughout history, that is what they do. 1143 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean, in in the most extreme examples, and this 1144 01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,880 Speaker 1: is certainly nothing like this. I mean guys like pol 1145 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 1: Pot and those guys, they rounded up everyone who disagreed 1146 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:18,440 Speaker 1: with them and got rid of them. That is what 1147 01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:21,360 Speaker 1: it means to be a leftist is to silence people 1148 01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:25,000 Speaker 1: who disagree with You, know, Jesse, I I can't skip 1149 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:26,600 Speaker 1: over some of the news of the week that I 1150 01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 1: feel like you're going to have a particular, a particularly 1151 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,120 Speaker 1: poignant perspective on. And you may have seen that there's 1152 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 1: some there's a bit of a dust up over pay 1153 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 1: disparity between men's and women's professional sports teams. Now, I 1154 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 1: have to say, I know, I know you're a w 1155 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,640 Speaker 1: NBA season ticket holder and have been for many years, 1156 01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 1: but I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on the 1157 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 1: professional sports pay gap between men and women. Well, look, 1158 01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,840 Speaker 1: I don't I don't necessarily think it's fair to call 1159 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,400 Speaker 1: the women's stuff professional. I mean, they play and somebody 1160 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:06,360 Speaker 1: pays them. That doesn't mean it's professional to watch somebody 1161 01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 1: plowed up and down the court and shoot layouts all 1162 01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,440 Speaker 1: night long, but they're never going to get paid equally 1163 01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 1: because women's sports suck. They're virtually completely unwatchable. Even women 1164 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:20,000 Speaker 1: don't like to watch women's sports. People watch sports in 1165 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:23,320 Speaker 1: part because they want to see athletes doing things that 1166 01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,759 Speaker 1: they could never dream of doing and their wildest dreams. 1167 01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:30,160 Speaker 1: I want to see Lebron James at nine hundred pounds, 1168 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,680 Speaker 1: running up the floor at eighty miles an hour and 1169 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,600 Speaker 1: dunking the ball so hard that my grandparents feel it. 1170 01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,679 Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. That's basketball. I don't 1171 01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:41,960 Speaker 1: want to see crappy basketball. And women basketball is boring 1172 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:43,840 Speaker 1: and crappy, and so no one watches, and so they 1173 01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,880 Speaker 1: don't make anybody. I guess I guess you're not going 1174 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,799 Speaker 1: to get season tickets for WNBA next year, Jesse Kelly. 1175 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 1: I guess you're deciding to pass on that one. But 1176 01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I think some of the some of the 1177 01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 1: controversies that we've seen this week are are almost you know, Taylor, 1178 01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,920 Speaker 1: are made for Jesse Kelly commentary. Like, for example, we 1179 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 1: talked about the Sports Illustrated BURKINI decision. Have you seen this? 1180 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,519 Speaker 1: I did. I saw that and part of me just 1181 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,040 Speaker 1: rolled my eyes at it. It's such a stupid virtue 1182 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:18,080 Speaker 1: signaling thing to do. The entire purpose of the swimsuit 1183 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,800 Speaker 1: issue is so young men can look at scantily clad women. 1184 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't have to sugarcoat this. And they've 1185 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:26,880 Speaker 1: tried to make it more sporty and everything in the 1186 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 1: recent years and empowering to women. Keep serious, it's Playboy 1187 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,280 Speaker 1: with a little bit more clothing on. It's something young 1188 01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,559 Speaker 1: men enjoy. Nobody wants to go see a woman dressed 1189 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,800 Speaker 1: up in a full blanket laid out on the beach. 1190 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,040 Speaker 1: I never forget when they banned Maxim magazine in my 1191 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,840 Speaker 1: high school. You would you would get in serious trouble 1192 01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 1: if you went into high school with Maxim magazine. And 1193 01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:50,559 Speaker 1: then there was of course, because we all know how 1194 01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 1: black market economies work. Maxim magazines turned into like cigarettes 1195 01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 1: in prison. You know, well back in our day, but 1196 01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:01,280 Speaker 1: Maxim was the thing. Kid. These things don't realize how 1197 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,360 Speaker 1: good they have it. They have everything at the at 1198 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 1: the touch of a button. You just pull out your 1199 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:07,040 Speaker 1: phone if you want to see a beautiful woman. Back 1200 01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:10,519 Speaker 1: in the day, it took some effort, Absolutely true, Jesse. 1201 01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 1: I'll also wanted to get your take on the latest 1202 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:19,479 Speaker 1: Avengers movie. Uh, it was it was a good movie. 1203 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,080 Speaker 1: I have two humongous problems with it. Humongous problems with it. 1204 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:29,640 Speaker 1: One is the Hulk situation is so grossly unacceptable. So 1205 01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,840 Speaker 1: it's one thing to have him get beaten up and 1206 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,200 Speaker 1: slapped around the entire last movie, but then you do 1207 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:39,479 Speaker 1: your final end game movie. You can't do a final 1208 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 1: Endgame movie and never give Avengers or comic book movie 1209 01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:47,280 Speaker 1: fans one single Halk rage out moment, not one. Instead, 1210 01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,400 Speaker 1: we have nerd Hulk. That that that's a huge part 1211 01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,960 Speaker 1: of the franchise, as Hulk losing his mind and ripping 1212 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,439 Speaker 1: people's heads off, and we didn't that once and two 1213 01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:00,360 Speaker 1: fat thor I mean it maybe for half the movie 1214 01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,439 Speaker 1: if you want to do a comedic sing ha ha ha, 1215 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,720 Speaker 1: that's kind of funny, he got fat, But then you 1216 01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,800 Speaker 1: need to have him snapan of that and be back 1217 01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,479 Speaker 1: to thour. Part of the purpose of four is I 1218 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 1: get to watch him lightning bolt people and my wife 1219 01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,960 Speaker 1: gets to stare at him a little too hard.

Antifa running around the streets like 1236 01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of maniacs. They are where are the Portland cops? 1237 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,720 Speaker 1: And what was really going on here? We got our 1238 01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:44,839 Speaker 1: friend Andy no back in action. He is a freelance 1239 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 1: journalist who's been doing great work out on the West 1240 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:53,040 Speaker 1: Coast covering Antifa and also is an editor at Quillette. 1241 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,720 Speaker 1: Any great to have you back on the program.

We got to play a little bit of 1244 01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:02,360 Speaker 1: the of the audio from the street there. What was 1245 01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: going on? Give us the backstory before you tell us 1246 01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 1: about how you were attacked by Antifa. You were assaulted 1247 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:13,800 Speaker 1: several times. Yes. So May Day was the first of May, 1248 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,400 Speaker 1: and in Portland there was a series of events and 1249 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:23,759 Speaker 1: it was built as a celebration of diversity and workers' rights. 1250 01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:29,640 Speaker 1: In reality it was an anti celebration of Marxism, communism, 1251 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:38,200 Speaker 1: and political violence. So at first there was a unlawful 1252 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 1: street protest against the local Ice office. In this protesters 1253 01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:50,080 Speaker 1: with Antifa came massed up and blocked the streets, blocked 1254 01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:56,160 Speaker 1: traffic in a critical area near a hospital, and they 1255 01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 1: were stopped outside by federal police officers before they could 1256 01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:02,680 Speaker 1: go any further to the Ice building in this location. 1257 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,040 Speaker 1: It's the same building where last summer there was a 1258 01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 1: five week siege and occupation by the same people, the 1259 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:16,240 Speaker 1: same group that that incident last year. I wrote about 1260 01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:18,360 Speaker 1: it for the Wall Street Journal at the time. The 1261 01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:22,120 Speaker 1: federal officers the first day were trapped inside. All the 1262 01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:28,120 Speaker 1: exits were blocked off by angry rioters protesters, and they 1263 01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 1: called for Portland police to help, and Portland police denied 1264 01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:35,040 Speaker 1: their requests, so they had to wait for federal officers 1265 01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:38,639 Speaker 1: to assemble to a system. And then there was a 1266 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:43,840 Speaker 1: five week occupation around that property that became a became 1267 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:48,880 Speaker 1: a biohazard. So can I just jump real quick? The 1268 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:53,880 Speaker 1: Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Office called local police to help 1269 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,800 Speaker 1: deal with the occupation, which was a kind of encampment 1270 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:01,080 Speaker 1: meant to menace and block acts to the Immigrations and 1271 01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:06,000 Speaker 1: Customs Enforcement offices, and Portland Police said, sorry, you're on 1272 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,559 Speaker 1: your own. They said, your request for assistance is denied. 1273 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:14,040 Speaker 1: And then the Portland Mayor, Ted Wheeler, who also doubles 1274 01:15:14,040 --> 01:15:17,479 Speaker 1: as a police commissioner, put out a statement on Twitter 1275 01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:19,960 Speaker 1: saying that if they are asking for a ball out, 1276 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,879 Speaker 1: they're not going to get up from the city. Wow. Okay, 1277 01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,120 Speaker 1: so obviously problems with the Portland PD here too, But 1278 01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,400 Speaker 1: so bring us up to then the current situation that 1279 01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:35,360 Speaker 1: just happened, or rather the recent situation on May Day. Yeah. 1280 01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:40,240 Speaker 1: So these massed individuals hate me because of my coverage 1281 01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,280 Speaker 1: of what they do. And they know you by sight, 1282 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:44,600 Speaker 1: now don't they. I mean, I can hear it in 1283 01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:49,000 Speaker 1: some of the audio. Unfortunately they do, so they try 1284 01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,559 Speaker 1: to block me from recording and let's just generally be 1285 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 1: generally being antagonistic. But then my camera equipment was targeted. 1286 01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:01,600 Speaker 1: It was still the string, and then after that, another 1287 01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:05,560 Speaker 1: mass individual punched me in the abdomen. This was completely 1288 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,679 Speaker 1: unprovoked on my part. I immediately went to Portland Police, 1289 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 1: who was standing yards away, to report it to the 1290 01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:17,160 Speaker 1: liaison officer on the scene, to let him know what 1291 01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:22,720 Speaker 1: had happened, and I pointed out this individual. This individual 1292 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,880 Speaker 1: was mouse, I don't know the identity, but that person 1293 01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,160 Speaker 1: was still there, and Portland Police let me know that 1294 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:31,559 Speaker 1: there was nothing that you could do at that moment 1295 01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:35,479 Speaker 1: because if they intervene, it would be quote an unquote 1296 01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 1: an escalation. So nothing was done. So you get attacked 1297 01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,960 Speaker 1: in front of cops and the cops say they can't 1298 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 1: do anything because to do anything to your attackers would 1299 01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:51,240 Speaker 1: be a quote escalation exactly. Those were the same words 1300 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,200 Speaker 1: that we used last year and when the last time 1301 01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:57,439 Speaker 1: you interviewed me where I was surrounded and mobbed and 1302 01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 1: my equipment was damage, same thing they police that time, 1303 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:05,200 Speaker 1: We're even standing closer. And it was also that they 1304 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:11,680 Speaker 1: could incite the crowd if they escalated anything, So then 1305 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,879 Speaker 1: what happened from the well. Later on that day, there 1306 01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:20,759 Speaker 1: was a May Day party being hosted by a local 1307 01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,120 Speaker 1: business called the Cider Riot. They were hosting an event 1308 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:30,000 Speaker 1: with Roast City Antipa, and then there was a riot 1309 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,559 Speaker 1: that happened there. I came there to document the event. 1310 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:36,160 Speaker 1: There was a small group of right wingers Patriot Prince 1311 01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:41,240 Speaker 1: Conservative group who came to just basically yell at them 1312 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,880 Speaker 1: from across the street. But then bear mace and pepper 1313 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:50,840 Speaker 1: spray started spraying indiscriminately, projectiles or being thrown the cause 1314 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 1: in the area with damage. And then I was singled 1315 01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,640 Speaker 1: out by a moss individual. He went up to me 1316 01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:00,680 Speaker 1: nearly a point blank and sprayed me with and I 1317 01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:05,479 Speaker 1: was blinded completely, had no idea what happened. Who was 1318 01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,120 Speaker 1: around me? Somebody I don't know who led me across 1319 01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:15,160 Speaker 1: the street and then I could hear the fighting happening 1320 01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:19,240 Speaker 1: across the street. It devolved until a brawl, fist fights 1321 01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 1: and weapons being used, and no police were in fight 1322 01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:30,600 Speaker 1: at all, and police arrived after everything was over. The 1323 01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,920 Speaker 1: ironic thing was, as this riot was happening in Portland, 1324 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,760 Speaker 1: police had issued a press release talking about how May 1325 01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:42,560 Speaker 1: Day was entirely peaceful because there were no arrests. That's astonishing. 1326 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:46,680 Speaker 1: So because they refused to arrest people, then the narrative is, well, 1327 01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,280 Speaker 1: there were no arrests, so it was peaceful. That's that's 1328 01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:53,400 Speaker 1: quite a way to exact to do your law enforcement exactly, 1329 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:58,400 Speaker 1: And I reported. I called police when I got home, 1330 01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,240 Speaker 1: had a chance to bay and showers, and the skin 1331 01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 1: was it felt like my face, my ears, my arms, 1332 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:08,479 Speaker 1: they were on fire. Bathing didn't really help, but I 1333 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,800 Speaker 1: called police again. This time I was adamant that an 1334 01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,960 Speaker 1: officer needed to come out and to take the report 1335 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:20,960 Speaker 1: of this assault, and an officer canes. Some first responders 1336 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:22,960 Speaker 1: were called as well, just to check out my skin 1337 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,800 Speaker 1: if it was okay, And so that was reported. I 1338 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,439 Speaker 1: got a case number, and then the next morning, the 1339 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:32,720 Speaker 1: Portland Police issued another press release saying that when they 1340 01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:38,000 Speaker 1: responded to the riot they could nobody was willing to 1341 01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:43,799 Speaker 1: file a police report and that there was no reports 1342 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,800 Speaker 1: of any assaults that had happened, which was shocking to 1343 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,599 Speaker 1: me because more than twelve hours earlier I had reported 1344 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:56,400 Speaker 1: my assault and so now again they were issuing another 1345 01:19:56,439 --> 01:20:00,640 Speaker 1: press release to the media, seemingly downplaying the violence. Antifa. 1346 01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,920 Speaker 1: So I hope that this is just a mistake of 1347 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:09,719 Speaker 1: breakdown communication somewhere rather than a political move or something 1348 01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:15,680 Speaker 1: more nefarious. What do these Antifa maniacs in Portland? What 1349 01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:19,120 Speaker 1: do they want? Andy? What are they doing? I mean, 1350 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,120 Speaker 1: they just look at such a bunch of jackasses. I mean, 1351 01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,240 Speaker 1: I know they're dangerous and they attacked you, and but 1352 01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:27,280 Speaker 1: what do they think they are they are accomplishing by 1353 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:32,599 Speaker 1: doing this nonsense on the streets of Portland, Oregon. They 1354 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:34,960 Speaker 1: say that they are showing up the end numbers to 1355 01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:39,880 Speaker 1: fights fascism in white supremacy. That's what they literally say. 1356 01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 1: Their ideology is a mixture of anarchism, communism, moxism. Some 1357 01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:52,200 Speaker 1: of them are really agitating from violent political revolution. Some 1358 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:58,280 Speaker 1: of them just like the opportunity to mask up in 1359 01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:02,360 Speaker 1: a gang basically and beating up people and getting away 1360 01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:09,240 Speaker 1: with it. So it's again, we'll keep seeing over and 1361 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:13,120 Speaker 1: over instance there's an anarchy industry of Portland where the 1362 01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 1: police are not enforcing the law. And you know, I'm 1363 01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 1: very supportive of the institution of police. I know it's 1364 01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,280 Speaker 1: it's very hard to be an officer in the city. 1365 01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 1: I placed the blame on the leadership. I think the 1366 01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:33,000 Speaker 1: mayor who doubles us the police commissioner unfortunately has politicized 1367 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 1: the bureau to such a degree that they're not enforcing 1368 01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:42,080 Speaker 1: the law equally, that's for sure. Well Andy, look man, 1369 01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:44,800 Speaker 1: we always appreciate your reporting from out there on the 1370 01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:48,719 Speaker 1: front lines of the Antifa craziness. But police man, stay safe. 1371 01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:50,719 Speaker 1: I know you got assaulted a couple of times. This time, 1372 01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:52,519 Speaker 1: you know, we got to get you to get like 1373 01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:56,720 Speaker 1: one of those disguises, you know, with the glasses, with 1374 01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,880 Speaker 1: the fake mustache or something. We got to get you safe. 1375 01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:02,640 Speaker 1: They thank you, and i'd just like to say for 1376 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:06,240 Speaker 1: your listeners, please watch the video the fan base assault 1377 01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 1: to me.

I'm trying to identify this 1380 01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:18,839 Speaker 1: person to a time. All right, Yeah, you guys, anybody 1381 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:20,840 Speaker 1: out there. We do have actually some great listenership up 1382 01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,280 Speaker 1: in Oregon too, So guys, try to spread the word. 1383 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:27,839 Speaker 1: And Andy know from Quilette and he's an independent journalist 1384 01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 1: and he thanks so much for your time. Man. We'll 1385 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,720 Speaker 1: talk to you again soon, my pleasure. Thanks for helping me. 1386 01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:35,360 Speaker 1: On team. We'll be right back. And the Republicans look 1387 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 1: at the Trump White House and say, well, you know, 1388 01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,400 Speaker 1: the Russians probably did help them, you know, just whatever 1389 01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:44,200 Speaker 1: extent we may not yet know. So we're not going 1390 01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:46,040 Speaker 1: to go there. We're gonna do what they tell us. 1391 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 1: So why should Russia have all the fun? And since 1392 01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:56,120 Speaker 1: Russia is clearly backing Republicans, why don't we ask China 1393 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 1: to back us? I hereby tonight, ask China. That's right, 1394 01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:03,400 Speaker 1: And not only that, China, if you're listening, why don't 1395 01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:10,200 Speaker 1: you get Trump's tax returns? Ha ha ha. Hillary so droll, 1396 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:15,080 Speaker 1: so funny, She's so incredibly hilarious. Keep in mind that 1397 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,559 Speaker 1: under the new rules, you have to remember this, Democrats 1398 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:23,879 Speaker 1: have established a very important precedent here. Sore loser Hillary, 1399 01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:28,439 Speaker 1: I really won. Sore loser Hillary has established an important precedent, 1400 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 1: and that is that any foreign government that wants to 1401 01:23:33,360 --> 01:23:41,320 Speaker 1: throw us into some degree of political chaos can infiltrate 1402 01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:46,040 Speaker 1: social media under false identities. It's using sock puppets and 1403 01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:51,800 Speaker 1: different controlled accounts, maybe hack into some low level staffer 1404 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:54,800 Speaker 1: or someone's email accounts somewhere. All they have to do 1405 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:59,240 Speaker 1: is involve themselves in our election, and they have by 1406 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:04,679 Speaker 1: that very act, created an opening for the losing political 1407 01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:10,880 Speaker 1: party to say the election was done under a cloud, 1408 01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:16,519 Speaker 1: the election was illegitimate. Think about the power that they 1409 01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,240 Speaker 1: have now given to any foreign cut because of their 1410 01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: completely exaggerated and hyperbolic view of Russian interference in the election. 1411 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,600 Speaker 1: Any government, any country that wants to create problems for 1412 01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:35,519 Speaker 1: us can just intentionally metal can intentionally have their and 1413 01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,200 Speaker 1: they'll just say that, oh, we didn't do it. It 1414 01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:39,519 Speaker 1: was some lone hackers, you know, we didn't back them, 1415 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:41,120 Speaker 1: or whatever it is. It's very easy. This is not 1416 01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:44,240 Speaker 1: difficult stuff. I mean setting up a phishing email scam. 1417 01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they're criminals to do this all over the world. 1418 01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:51,080 Speaker 1: But the basic rule here still stands that they can. 1419 01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:58,360 Speaker 1: They can have somebody do that, and then the other party, 1420 01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:02,120 Speaker 1: the party that losers, can say, see, they cheated, this 1421 01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:10,600 Speaker 1: election's illegitimate, this election does not count. So that's a 1422 01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:16,439 Speaker 1: really powerful tool for political anarchy in this country. That's 1423 01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:20,040 Speaker 1: a that's a really powerful tool to set up Democrats 1424 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,639 Speaker 1: and Republicans at each other's throats going forward. And it's 1425 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:27,040 Speaker 1: all because the Democrats, Remember Obama knew about Russian medalling 1426 01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:28,960 Speaker 1: didn't do anything because he knew it wasn't that big 1427 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,720 Speaker 1: a deal. Didn't really matter, right, It was really just 1428 01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 1: what the Russians have always done, which is, you know, disinformatzia. 1429 01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 1: It's disinformation. It's meant to be create a little bit 1430 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:40,719 Speaker 1: of strife. And this this is just in their nature. 1431 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:44,479 Speaker 1: Maybe they're they're bitter. I mean, the Russian government Putin, 1432 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,719 Speaker 1: people work for him. They don't like that America talks 1433 01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:50,960 Speaker 1: badly about Putin and does all this democracy democracy promotion stuff. 1434 01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,519 Speaker 1: But I mean from the Russian perspective, what they were 1435 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:55,519 Speaker 1: doing was really the equivalent of a kind of an 1436 01:25:55,520 --> 01:26:00,639 Speaker 1: international relations prank. You know, they couldn't seiously have thought 1437 01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:02,360 Speaker 1: that they were going to change the outcome of the election, 1438 01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:05,200 Speaker 1: and that was never really the intention. The intention was 1439 01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:10,479 Speaker 1: just so chaos. But what better way to magnify whatever 1440 01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 1: chaos they can sew than for one political party to say, yeah, 1441 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 1: that election illegitimate, shouldn't really count. And so when Hillary says, 1442 01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:21,200 Speaker 1: going forward, oh, well, you know the Chinese, maybe the 1443 01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,320 Speaker 1: Chinese will get Donald Trump's tax regions. I mean, I 1444 01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,840 Speaker 1: know that she's saying she's kidding, but if the Chinese 1445 01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:29,840 Speaker 1: want to. They could just have one of their military 1446 01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 1: cyber units, or they could even create some degree of 1447 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:37,559 Speaker 1: plausible deniability and have an information operation. They could run 1448 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:39,439 Speaker 1: it through North Korea. Wouldn't be hard to do at all. 1449 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,280 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do to North Korea? More sanctions? 1450 01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:44,360 Speaker 1: You know, how much more sanctioning can we do? They 1451 01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:46,960 Speaker 1: run it through North Korea and they interfere in the election, 1452 01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:49,920 Speaker 1: and then they know that we're at each other's throats 1453 01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:52,439 Speaker 1: in this country about who really won the election when 1454 01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 1: their influence on it is basically non existent. I mean, 1455 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:02,760 Speaker 1: no person who saw a lock her up meme that 1456 01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:04,559 Speaker 1: was created by a Russian was like, you know what, 1457 01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:07,200 Speaker 1: now I'm going now I'm going to vote against Hillary. 1458 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:11,040 Speaker 1: It's just not how this works. This is I know, 1459 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:12,519 Speaker 1: I keep going to this, but this is like an 1460 01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:14,840 Speaker 1: eye dropper in the you know, putting an eye dropper 1461 01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:17,040 Speaker 1: of water in the ocean and saying you're changing the temperature. 1462 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean not, you know, you have changed the composition 1463 01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,120 Speaker 1: of that ocean at some level. You've added water to 1464 01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,120 Speaker 1: the ocean. But does anyone think that it matters the 1465 01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:29,080 Speaker 1: Russian interference other than the disrespect that it chose in 1466 01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:31,479 Speaker 1: the Russian government for our processes. But that shouldn't be 1467 01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:34,479 Speaker 1: a surprise to us. The Russian interference from a who 1468 01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:40,040 Speaker 1: votes for a who perspective didn't matter. And the Democrats 1469 01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,519 Speaker 1: know this, but it's more fun for them, and particularly 1470 01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:46,040 Speaker 1: for Hillary, to act like that's not the case. You know, 1471 01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,480 Speaker 1: Hillary's looks, she's the ultimate sore loser. How cany Sanders 1472 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:54,800 Speaker 1: responded to Hillary's China comments and and here's here's what 1473 01:27:54,840 --> 01:27:59,720 Speaker 1: she said. The previous administration where they actually didn't do 1474 01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:04,839 Speaker 1: a thing to stop interference in the election, And honestly, 1475 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm baffled by it, and it's truly astonishing. Comments from 1476 01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:16,759 Speaker 1: is pretty astonishing, isn't it. Now. I'm gonna I'm putting 1477 01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:18,800 Speaker 1: this idea out there right and you can tell it. 1478 01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:22,680 Speaker 1: You can tell me I'm crazy, and that's fine. But 1479 01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:25,680 Speaker 1: there is a school of thought. You got to think 1480 01:28:25,720 --> 01:28:28,160 Speaker 1: outside the box for this one. There's a school of 1481 01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:32,040 Speaker 1: thought that in a very crowded, i mean just comically 1482 01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:36,360 Speaker 1: crowded Democrat presidential primary, which is what we currently have, 1483 01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:39,160 Speaker 1: just hear just hear me out on this one, folks, 1484 01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 1: hear me out on this one. A very crowded field, 1485 01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:47,439 Speaker 1: doesn't the person with the highest name recognition and the 1486 01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:53,600 Speaker 1: most visible you know, resume and just general political apparatus 1487 01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,599 Speaker 1: around them become a more attractive candidate in many ways. 1488 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,360 Speaker 1: If you were trying to think of as an area 1489 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:04,360 Speaker 1: where Hillary would at the last moment be the savior 1490 01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:08,960 Speaker 1: of the party, an incredibly fractured and nasty Democrat primary 1491 01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:14,240 Speaker 1: would be it. I'm not saying Hillary's running, I'm just 1492 01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:18,400 Speaker 1: saying if she was going to run, the circumstances for 1493 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:22,240 Speaker 1: that are more favorable now than they would be up 1494 01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:25,200 Speaker 1: say you had a you know, a three or four 1495 01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:28,639 Speaker 1: person race with one or two clear front runners. So 1496 01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:32,680 Speaker 1: just putting that out there, just putting that out there 1497 01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:34,439 Speaker 1: for a little little food for thought. As we go 1498 01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:43,639 Speaker 1: into our weekends. The show ain't over yet, folks, keeping 1499 01:29:43,680 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 1: it Frio. It's time for roll call, Facebook dot com, 1500 01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:05,320 Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton for roll Call, and don't forget team 1501 01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:10,200 Speaker 1: Today's uh no, Today's May third. Why am I seeing 1502 01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:15,280 Speaker 1: all this stuff about uh Sinco de Mayo, which is 1503 01:30:15,280 --> 01:30:18,200 Speaker 1: obviously the fifth of May. I was gonna talk about Sinco, 1504 01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:19,960 Speaker 1: I guess because it's on the weekend. That's why people 1505 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:23,320 Speaker 1: are talking about today. But everybody's working for the weekend. 1506 01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:28,360 Speaker 1: Battle of Puebla is what Sinco de Mayo, not Mexican independence. 1507 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:32,439 Speaker 1: Battle of Puebla. Just as you're drinking your margaritas, which 1508 01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 1: I've got to say of the vice of the food 1509 01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:38,559 Speaker 1: vices out there, margaritas are kind of high on my list. 1510 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:41,000 Speaker 1: They're I know, they're terrible for you. I mean the 1511 01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:42,599 Speaker 1: way they make them, with all the sugar and stuff. 1512 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:47,559 Speaker 1: They're terrible for you, but they are delicious, delicious. I 1513 01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 1: like the salt on the rim of the glass too, 1514 01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:54,560 Speaker 1: the whole thing. A little spice throws some hlapenos in there, see, Senor, 1515 01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:58,160 Speaker 1: I do like margarita is only, like, you know, a 1516 01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:01,639 Speaker 1: good margarita's got like three alleries, maybe three fifty something 1517 01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:04,519 Speaker 1: like that. It's not that bad. It's like, you know, 1518 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:08,800 Speaker 1: eating eating half a cheeseburger. Um, all right, let's get 1519 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:11,200 Speaker 1: to our roll call here. Oh wait, the other thing 1520 01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 1: I want to say about the reason sinco demyo, and 1521 01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:15,639 Speaker 1: many of you make fun of me for saying senko, 1522 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:18,559 Speaker 1: because I had studied French, so it's sank It's not 1523 01:31:18,840 --> 01:31:24,519 Speaker 1: you know sinco, but Sinco demyo is some people say 1524 01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 1: tied into America's success in the Civil War, I believe 1525 01:31:30,479 --> 01:31:34,120 Speaker 1: it or not, because there was a plan from the 1526 01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:41,840 Speaker 1: Emperor of France at the time to send guns to 1527 01:31:41,920 --> 01:31:47,000 Speaker 1: the Confederacy once they had established the French colonization or 1528 01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:51,320 Speaker 1: the French control of the colony of Mexico, and that 1529 01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:54,120 Speaker 1: was the plan. But because of the Battle of Puebla, 1530 01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:57,400 Speaker 1: that got delayed, and then eventually they ended up chopping 1531 01:31:57,439 --> 01:31:58,920 Speaker 1: off that, And I don't I don't if they chopped 1532 01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:00,400 Speaker 1: off has had they might have hung emer shot them, 1533 01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:06,040 Speaker 1: but they killed the French Emperor's puppet governor in Mexico, 1534 01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:09,280 Speaker 1: and then the Mexican people took over but tied into 1535 01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:10,680 Speaker 1: our civil war a little bits what I'm trying to 1536 01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:12,040 Speaker 1: tell you, at least that's what I read today. I 1537 01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:15,120 Speaker 1: don't know. I still haven't read the Shelby Foot Civil 1538 01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:18,240 Speaker 1: War series, so I need to do that. But I 1539 01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,320 Speaker 1: need to do about a bajillion other things too. So 1540 01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm a busy man. What can I tell you? A team, 1541 01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:25,720 Speaker 1: But you're busy writing in with brilliant thoughts, incisive commentary, 1542 01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:33,880 Speaker 1: witticism's shedding of light, that kind of stuff. Dwayne rights 1543 01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:39,160 Speaker 1: Women's World Cup might actually have a point, the women's 1544 01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:42,080 Speaker 1: US team is infinitely more successful both on the field 1545 01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:46,320 Speaker 1: and generating revenue than the men, who are miserable. The 1546 01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:51,439 Speaker 1: women actually help support the men on are paid significantly less. Dwayne, 1547 01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:56,000 Speaker 1: I do not know if that is true. But if 1548 01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,800 Speaker 1: that is true, if your stats, or rather your assertions 1549 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:03,040 Speaker 1: are correct, then yeah, I'm look. I'm all for it. 1550 01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:08,280 Speaker 1: If the women's World Cup has been a bigger viewing, 1551 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,320 Speaker 1: or rather women's World Cup team has bigger viewing than 1552 01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:13,360 Speaker 1: the American men's World Cup team, then I think they 1553 01:33:13,360 --> 01:33:15,519 Speaker 1: should make more money. And maybe there is sexism at 1554 01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:16,880 Speaker 1: work there. But here's what I would say to you. 1555 01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,960 Speaker 1: Is it the case that the ratings are really higher 1556 01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:24,240 Speaker 1: for the women's World Cup team? I doubt that because 1557 01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:28,479 Speaker 1: even the men's assuming they make it into the World Cup, 1558 01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,599 Speaker 1: they're playing against the best teams in the world, and 1559 01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:34,320 Speaker 1: the viewership is based not just on the team that 1560 01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, the the American team, but also the team 1561 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:40,040 Speaker 1: they're playing. So, for example, when the US is in 1562 01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:41,760 Speaker 1: the World Cup and they play in the first round 1563 01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:45,960 Speaker 1: a powerhouse like Germany or Brazil, or you're gonna have 1564 01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:49,479 Speaker 1: the whole world watch that match, not just people that 1565 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:52,000 Speaker 1: support the men's team. But I have to dig into 1566 01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:54,080 Speaker 1: this a little bit, and you seem more up on 1567 01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:58,280 Speaker 1: this than I am. I don't watch much professional level 1568 01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:01,679 Speaker 1: soccer these days, so maybe maybe that is the case. 1569 01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:04,360 Speaker 1: I will say though, that having watched some women's soccer 1570 01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:07,439 Speaker 1: if it's interesting, But it's like watching a men's soccer 1571 01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:11,040 Speaker 1: match at about half speed. So if you prefer that, 1572 01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:19,400 Speaker 1: then that's great. Let's see Kayla Rights clear present danger 1573 01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:22,839 Speaker 1: or is it executive decision? Love the Jack Ryan reference? 1574 01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:25,000 Speaker 1: Love it now. It was clear and present danger. So 1575 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:31,080 Speaker 1: you got that one right, and there you go. Tom Wrights, 1576 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:36,559 Speaker 1: buck my men. Tech nine for workout music, Bring back 1577 01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:40,400 Speaker 1: Freestyle Friday with many deep dives. Ps. Dubstep is just 1578 01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:44,880 Speaker 1: disco for the nineties. Love the show Shields High. You know, 1579 01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:48,599 Speaker 1: you may be right about dubstep is really just disco 1580 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:52,960 Speaker 1: for the nineties. I'm I don't think dubstep is gonna 1581 01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:55,280 Speaker 1: be something that people look back or to listen to 1582 01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,679 Speaker 1: with any fondness. But sometimes it gets me a little 1583 01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:01,200 Speaker 1: fired up. You a little fire up for the gym, 1584 01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:04,000 Speaker 1: and I will check out Tech nine. I feel like 1585 01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 1: the Tech nine firearm. You know, it used to be 1586 01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:12,479 Speaker 1: very much kind of associated with the nineties and gang bangers, 1587 01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:14,320 Speaker 1: like I got my Tech nine. You know, people would 1588 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:18,040 Speaker 1: wrap about it and stuff. But I haven't heard about 1589 01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:21,400 Speaker 1: the Tech nine much anymore. Yeah, I'm not sure, you know. 1590 01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:24,639 Speaker 1: I remember very distinctive designed it had the I don't 1591 01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:26,920 Speaker 1: even know how you describe it, but there's kind of 1592 01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:32,280 Speaker 1: almost like these perforations along the barrel Tech nine. I 1593 01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:35,320 Speaker 1: remember having a water gun that looked like a Tech nine. 1594 01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:37,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you could never do this stuff anywhere. Isn't 1595 01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:40,080 Speaker 1: it amazing how much even just children's toys have changed. 1596 01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:45,439 Speaker 1: I had for a while, a little, a little It 1597 01:35:45,520 --> 01:35:49,920 Speaker 1: was from Chinatown in New York City, and it was 1598 01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:54,519 Speaker 1: a black replica essentially of a clock that fired little white, 1599 01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:59,120 Speaker 1: little white pellets and not very not very powerfully. I mean, 1600 01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:00,760 Speaker 1: it wouldn't even hurt you if you shot somebody in 1601 01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:02,880 Speaker 1: the arm or something with it. But it looked like 1602 01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:04,800 Speaker 1: I mean, it looked like a glock. And unless you 1603 01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:07,360 Speaker 1: really got up close to it. You could never have 1604 01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:09,479 Speaker 1: that stuff anymore, you know what I mean. You could 1605 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:11,479 Speaker 1: never have these things. It was just a toy. It 1606 01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:13,200 Speaker 1: was a toy they're selling on the street, you know, 1607 01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:16,479 Speaker 1: the toys. Yeah, that had had like the red um 1608 01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,320 Speaker 1: you know on the muzzle. It had a little red 1609 01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:22,720 Speaker 1: thing to show that it was but it looked real enough. 1610 01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:25,200 Speaker 1: You never have this stuff anymore. I mean now people 1611 01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:30,200 Speaker 1: think that that you know, super Soakers were you know, 1612 01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,320 Speaker 1: are too realistic. Like super Soaker has like a big 1613 01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:36,240 Speaker 1: Neon green Water can gun it. I don't think anyone 1614 01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:39,400 Speaker 1: thinks that it's. Oh but anything that's gun related, it's 1615 01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:41,439 Speaker 1: very scary. But you know, they used to sell all 1616 01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 1: these things. You'd go walking on the streets in New 1617 01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,280 Speaker 1: York City, in Chinatown, Times Square, and they sold I'm 1618 01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:49,240 Speaker 1: gonna say, replicas. They weren't. They didn't look exactly like guns, 1619 01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:51,920 Speaker 1: but the toys looked a lot more like guns. When 1620 01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:54,360 Speaker 1: I was growing on the toy guns did absolutely the case. 1621 01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:57,840 Speaker 1: And now which I actually do think that there's something 1622 01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,200 Speaker 1: that's that can be kind of dangerous. I agree with 1623 01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:02,680 Speaker 1: the rules that I've changed to some degree. You know, 1624 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:04,840 Speaker 1: if it's Neon Green, I don't think that anyone really 1625 01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:09,360 Speaker 1: has to worry about it. Adam writes, the quote is 1626 01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,960 Speaker 1: dumb and dumber shields high. All right, Adam, all right, 1627 01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:16,080 Speaker 1: you got it? That was Samson night. I was way 1628 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:22,760 Speaker 1: off Mary Swanson Swammy. I think dumb and Dummer kind 1629 01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:26,040 Speaker 1: of holds up. I think it's pretty funny. I think 1630 01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:28,759 Speaker 1: that that's I did watch some of There's Something about 1631 01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:31,639 Speaker 1: Mary recently. It was on HBO or something, and I'm 1632 01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:36,280 Speaker 1: always amazed by how you could never ever make that 1633 01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:39,679 Speaker 1: movie anymore. I just couldn't do it. You could never 1634 01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:43,639 Speaker 1: make that movie anymore. You would get picketed, you'd get 1635 01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:45,639 Speaker 1: in so much trouble. I'm actually surprised that it even 1636 01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:48,519 Speaker 1: it hasn't kind of gotten the band treatment from some places. 1637 01:37:49,479 --> 01:37:55,360 Speaker 1: All right, let's see what we get here. Eric Wright, 1638 01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:57,720 Speaker 1: oh some stuff that he doesn't want in the role call. 1639 01:37:57,800 --> 01:38:00,439 Speaker 1: So Eric, it won't be in the role call because 1640 01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:02,240 Speaker 1: you asked for it not to be, and we of 1641 01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:06,599 Speaker 1: course respect your wishes. That is how we roll. Pete 1642 01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:10,960 Speaker 1: writes Buck, I missed your history deep dives, oss shields 1643 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:15,400 Speaker 1: High Pete, I missed them too. There's a tremendous degree 1644 01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:17,280 Speaker 1: of effort that goes into it because I just used 1645 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,640 Speaker 1: to do it on my own and I would like 1646 01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:23,080 Speaker 1: to bring it back, but you know, we have to 1647 01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:25,400 Speaker 1: find a way to make something of a business out 1648 01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:29,400 Speaker 1: of it. And unfortunately, because there's so many podcasts out 1649 01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:32,040 Speaker 1: there these days. For podcasts advertisers, you need to get 1650 01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,599 Speaker 1: to a certain critical mass of downloads before you can 1651 01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:40,080 Speaker 1: even get basic advertising going. And that's a long way 1652 01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:42,000 Speaker 1: of saying. You know that for the time and the 1653 01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:44,040 Speaker 1: time out to do history deep dives, it's it's a 1654 01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:48,120 Speaker 1: project of love, not a project of business, if you 1655 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:50,479 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So to devote the time too, 1656 01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:54,439 Speaker 1: it's a little bit harder unless you know someone somewhere 1657 01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:57,320 Speaker 1: wanted to like sponsor a series of them, and just 1658 01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:00,559 Speaker 1: as a kind of prestige project, that's something we could do. 1659 01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,400 Speaker 1: But in terms of just churning them out, I mean, 1660 01:39:03,400 --> 01:39:06,720 Speaker 1: it took me and basically entire weekends just to do 1661 01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:09,040 Speaker 1: one of those things. It's a long process, believe it 1662 01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:10,840 Speaker 1: or not. But I don't want to end. I mean, 1663 01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:12,439 Speaker 1: someone pointed out to me, I can't end on the 1664 01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:15,479 Speaker 1: fall of Constantinople, on the Turk's victory there, and we 1665 01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:17,040 Speaker 1: gotta at least get to them. We got to get 1666 01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:19,719 Speaker 1: to the see Jamalta and some of the other stuff 1667 01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:24,759 Speaker 1: where you know, team Christendom, Western civilization actually wins wins. 1668 01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:30,320 Speaker 1: One Chris right Buck a few days ago, a roll 1669 01:39:30,400 --> 01:39:33,200 Speaker 1: call woman said she got confused while listening to podcast 1670 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 1: because she heard a different show Mystery solved. Your podcast 1671 01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:40,919 Speaker 1: host showcases other podcast for thirty seconds at the beginning. 1672 01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:43,840 Speaker 1: For some podcasts, it seems like they just play the 1673 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:47,880 Speaker 1: show instead of highlights. That's confusing, but the dulcet tones 1674 01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:51,759 Speaker 1: of Buck are fighting through. Just warn audience a few times, 1675 01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:54,599 Speaker 1: like given out new email. Eventually people will know, well, Chris, 1676 01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:56,360 Speaker 1: I didn't even know this, So thanks for telling me, man, 1677 01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:58,519 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Team, we'll hit a quick break. We'll 1678 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:02,599 Speaker 1: be right back back into the role call that close 1679 01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:05,120 Speaker 1: out the show. And you know, it's a little bitter sweet. 1680 01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:07,519 Speaker 1: I know I say that to you and sometimes I 1681 01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:09,120 Speaker 1: repeat myself a little bit about this. But it's a 1682 01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:11,200 Speaker 1: little bitter sweet on Friday, because while I'm excited for 1683 01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:13,519 Speaker 1: the weekend, I know I'm not going to get to 1684 01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:17,280 Speaker 1: do this show for two whole days, which can be 1685 01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,719 Speaker 1: kind of a bummer, you know, because I missed getting 1686 01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:23,120 Speaker 1: hang out with all of you guys. Sheldon, all right, Hey, Buck, 1687 01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:27,080 Speaker 1: love the show. You are my favorite podcast bar none. Sheldon, 1688 01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:31,360 Speaker 1: you have wonderful taste in podcasts. Just heard you talking 1689 01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:34,519 Speaker 1: about the Tom Clancy Patriot Games. Love the book. The 1690 01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:37,400 Speaker 1: movie would have been better had the book not existed. 1691 01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:40,479 Speaker 1: When the movie changed the terrorists victims from Charles and 1692 01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:43,960 Speaker 1: Diana to some no name lord and lady, it's just 1693 01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:47,280 Speaker 1: completely lost its impact for me, just my two cents. 1694 01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,320 Speaker 1: By the way, no issues with the sound level on 1695 01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:52,519 Speaker 1: the podcast from iTunes sounds great to me. She'll taih Sheldon. 1696 01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:55,320 Speaker 1: You know, Sheldon, I didn't know. I never read Patriot 1697 01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:57,880 Speaker 1: Games the book, so I didn't even know that was 1698 01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:00,120 Speaker 1: the case. And I would agree with you that by 1699 01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:03,679 Speaker 1: making it some random members of the royal family the target, 1700 01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:07,719 Speaker 1: it just it lacked impact. It did not really resonate, 1701 01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:10,040 Speaker 1: I think, especially with an American audience. We're like, okay, 1702 01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:14,320 Speaker 1: so this is like the Lord of chath Tumdunner or something. 1703 01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:17,439 Speaker 1: I mean, who knows, right, the third, the third Lord 1704 01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:22,680 Speaker 1: of Chesterton and Worcestershire. You know, that doesn't really get 1705 01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,599 Speaker 1: anybody all that excited. That certainly didn't get me all 1706 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:29,000 Speaker 1: that excited. But Harrison Ford does does a good job. 1707 01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:33,680 Speaker 1: And you gotta remember that's in the earlier days of 1708 01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:36,880 Speaker 1: of Edard's Stark from Game of Thrones. That guy, forget 1709 01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:40,920 Speaker 1: his U Sean Bean, that's right. You kill him my 1710 01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,479 Speaker 1: baby brother. You know he's all upset about it and 1711 01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:45,360 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Or no, it's not his baby, you 1712 01:41:45,360 --> 01:41:47,080 Speaker 1: know it is his baby brother, that's right. And I 1713 01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:51,479 Speaker 1: mean the guys obviously in his twenties Brandon, Right, Hey, 1714 01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,479 Speaker 1: brother Shields. I after listening to you yesterday's show, I 1715 01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:56,840 Speaker 1: figure i'd share this with you.

Thank you for the sacrifices you make 1720 01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:13,320 Speaker 1: fighting for the Republic Airborne all the way, Brandon, Brandon, Yeah, 1721 01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:15,320 Speaker 1: we will. We'll get the word out on Facebook for 1722 01:42:15,360 --> 01:42:17,800 Speaker 1: this one. This one. And you know, I've been a 1723 01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:20,679 Speaker 1: part of a fundraisers in the past for a crisis 1724 01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:24,599 Speaker 1: pregnancy center in New York City called a VAIL that 1725 01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:28,000 Speaker 1: is doing very very important work in a very liberal place, 1726 01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:31,479 Speaker 1: just trying to help women who are who are scared, 1727 01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:36,320 Speaker 1: who are pregnant scared, help them create a safe and happy, 1728 01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:39,599 Speaker 1: you know, pregnancy, an environment for the baby. That's that's 1729 01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:42,880 Speaker 1: all they do. It's very very important work. So thank 1730 01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:46,280 Speaker 1: you for bringing this one to our attention. Carolyn writes, Hey, Buck, 1731 01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:50,120 Speaker 1: one thing keeps me wondering about the Steel Dussier. If 1732 01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:52,880 Speaker 1: you read this buffoonishly absurd piece of trash, you can't 1733 01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:56,640 Speaker 1: help but wonder how Hiller's campaign paid good money for 1734 01:42:56,760 --> 01:43:00,360 Speaker 1: a piece of scatological trite that looks like it was 1735 01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:03,280 Speaker 1: written by a fifth grader. No offense to fifth graders, 1736 01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:07,080 Speaker 1: But if I were Hillary, I want my millions of 1737 01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:11,599 Speaker 1: dollars back, you know, Carolyn, I've thought a lot about 1738 01:43:11,600 --> 01:43:15,920 Speaker 1: the dossier and all of this stuff that's in it, 1739 01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:20,439 Speaker 1: and the fact that it seems so not credible on 1740 01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:22,960 Speaker 1: a first read, So why why wouldn't they make it 1741 01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:26,719 Speaker 1: a little more honestly, a little more believable, a little 1742 01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:30,080 Speaker 1: more credible. And I think that it's because it was 1743 01:43:30,160 --> 01:43:34,280 Speaker 1: always meant to be looming in the background, and it 1744 01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:38,679 Speaker 1: really wasn't supposed to be something that people went public 1745 01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:40,519 Speaker 1: with in this way. It was supposed to color the 1746 01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:44,120 Speaker 1: thinking of the media behind the scenes and be something 1747 01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:47,880 Speaker 1: that was whispered about but not presented for public view. 1748 01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:51,439 Speaker 1: Necessarily not presented because when it's in public view then 1749 01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:54,519 Speaker 1: it receives public scrutiny. It's much more effective in a 1750 01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:57,400 Speaker 1: lot of ways. For people in newsrooms that are anti 1751 01:43:57,400 --> 01:44:00,439 Speaker 1: Trump across the country say, oh, you know there's that stuff. 1752 01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:02,400 Speaker 1: Oh we can't even we can't even print some of 1753 01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:04,800 Speaker 1: the stuff about Trump, and you know, we can't prove it, 1754 01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:07,200 Speaker 1: but we think it's true. Right, I mean, then it's 1755 01:44:07,760 --> 01:44:10,679 Speaker 1: the material is not tested, the material is not vetted 1756 01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,599 Speaker 1: or verified, but it's still out there. It's it's like 1757 01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:16,880 Speaker 1: any other rumor, right, if somebody starts a terrible rumor 1758 01:44:16,920 --> 01:44:20,120 Speaker 1: about somebody, they generally don't want to No one wants 1759 01:44:20,120 --> 01:44:22,040 Speaker 1: to stand up and explain a room full of people 1760 01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:23,959 Speaker 1: what the rumor is. They just want to keep whispering 1761 01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,880 Speaker 1: it behind closed doors. And that's a way to undermine 1762 01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:31,880 Speaker 1: somebody and to bring bring down the confidence that somebody has. Um. 1763 01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:34,240 Speaker 1: That's that's what I think the dossier was really about, 1764 01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:35,760 Speaker 1: at least in the early stages. And then when they 1765 01:44:35,800 --> 01:44:39,800 Speaker 1: realized how easily duped the media and the FBI could be, 1766 01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:43,080 Speaker 1: then the people behind it and involved in it were like, well, 1767 01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:44,679 Speaker 1: let's just take this thing all the way and they did. 1768 01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:50,680 Speaker 1: Al writes, I saw Hillary is back post on some 1769 01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:53,400 Speaker 1: site this morning and thought of you, Hello, your Hillary 1770 01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:58,360 Speaker 1: impersonation is so bad, but I love it. Racon brother Al. 1771 01:45:00,040 --> 01:45:02,000 Speaker 1: I know it makes no sense, it sounds nothing like her, 1772 01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:05,639 Speaker 1: but that's the whole point. You know. The Clintons, at 1773 01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:09,280 Speaker 1: least Chelsea and Builds, they're starting a podcast. You know, 1774 01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:14,360 Speaker 1: Bill's gonna have a Podcast's gonna be called how to 1775 01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,720 Speaker 1: get real close to ladies like Joe Biden, but not 1776 01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:20,200 Speaker 1: be quite as creepy as Joe Biden, or at least 1777 01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:23,480 Speaker 1: not get caught like he did. They're gonna have a podcast. 1778 01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:26,080 Speaker 1: All these people these days of a podcast. Thinking about 1779 01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:28,080 Speaker 1: most people is like, just like with writing, you know, 1780 01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:30,320 Speaker 1: very few people really should try to write for a living. 1781 01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:32,639 Speaker 1: Very few people should try podcasting for living. It's actually 1782 01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:38,800 Speaker 1: quite difficult. Stetson cool name writes, Hey A Buck, I 1783 01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:40,840 Speaker 1: encourage you to read that New York Times article with 1784 01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:45,320 Speaker 1: progressive lenses. They're trying to whitewash spy gape. I make 1785 01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:48,240 Speaker 1: it seem like it was justified and legit their careful 1786 01:45:48,320 --> 01:45:50,799 Speaker 1: use of an investigator in other terms, or their attempt 1787 01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:53,479 Speaker 1: to make it appear the Intel agencies were justified in 1788 01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:57,840 Speaker 1: their infiltration of the Trump campaign scary stuff, shields high 1789 01:45:58,640 --> 01:46:03,240 Speaker 1: and stetson.
