Some fireworks on Capitol Hill. 2 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: Corey Lewandowski wasn't gonna take it lying down today when 3 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: Democrats tried a little show trial action against him. We'll 4 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: talk about that. And also, oh that's right to New 5 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: York Times is doubling down on the bombshell story that 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: blew up in their face. We'll get into that. And 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: Iran versus Saudi Arabia is a war on the horizon. 8 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: Who got so much more coming up on the buck 9 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,919 Speaker 1: Sexton Show.

No, 14 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: he called the Attorney General to ask him to unrecuse 15 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: himself from the Special Counsel's investigation. Session said no. His 16 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: White House counsel said there should be no contact with 17 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: Session because of his recusal. So what does the president do. 18 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: He calls you in to do what everyone else wouldn't do. 19 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: He called you in to do his dirty work in 20 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: secret because he knew it was wrong. Well, we will 21 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: expose the truth. And President can hot eye behind you 22 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: any longer? If you should be here to be telling 23 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: the truth, because the truth will set you the American people. 24 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: I ye back time and the general lady has expired. 25 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: The witness may answer the question. I don't believe there 26 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: was a question, Congressman, Yes there was. Could you repeat 27 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,639 Speaker 1: the question and hear it. I'll be happy to repeat 28 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: the just a rant him, just a rant. Welcome to 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: the buck Sex and show everybody. Tombstone's one of my 30 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: favorite movies. Top twenty. I'd say I wouldn't put in 31 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: the top ten, but I think it probably makes in 32 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: the top twel I've seen it one hundred times. There's 33 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: a really there's a bunch of very very good lines 34 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: in it, right, And one of my favorites is when 35 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: Kurt Russell tells the kind of weasily sheriff guy, I 36 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: don't think i'll let you arrest us today, be hand 37 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: remember that, well, Korey Lewandowski, when the Democrats decided to 38 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: go after him today and try to make a scene 39 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: and try to basically stood up there in Capitol Hill 40 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: and said to all the assembled Democrats going after him 41 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: with everything had. I don't think I'll I'll let you 42 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: arrest arrest me today. You could try to do the 43 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 1: whole You could try to do holding him in contempt, 44 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's gonna work. That they could 45 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: call the sergeant in arms. Technically they could go for it, 46 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: but that would make quite a scene. Here's the real 47 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: point of all those folks. It was a total mess today, 48 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: a total mess on Capitol Hill. And I think that 49 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 1: there's a lesson to be learned here. Jerry Nadler, for example, 50 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: got very frustrated at one point by all of this. 51 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: Here's here's what Jerry Nadler said. Ever suggests to the 52 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: President or anyone else that you thought your communications with 53 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: him were official White House communications? Congress from the White 54 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: House is directed not. I'd not disclose the substance of 55 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: any discussions with the President of his advisors to protect 56 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: executive branch concientiality. And I recognize this is not my privilege, 57 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: but I am respecting the White House's decision. Let me 58 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: ask you some questions about your relationship with the president 59 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: after he assumed office. How many times does the President 60 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: asked you to meet him in the White House. The 61 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: White House is directed not disclose the substance of discussions. 62 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: Did you meet with the President alone in the White 63 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: House in twenty seventeen. I don't know the answer to that. 64 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: How many times did he direct you to deliver a 65 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: message to a member of his cabinet? The White House 66 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: is directed not disclose the substance of any discussions. Did 67 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: he ever discuss with you any concerns that he may 68 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: have committed a criminal offense? The White House is directed 69 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: not disclose the substance of any discussions with the President 70 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: or his advisors to protect Executive branch confidentiality. I recognize 71 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: this as not my privilege. I make a point of 72 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: order pursuing to clause to J two one eleven. We 73 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: get it, we get enough enough, we get it, we 74 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: get it. That's more or less what the hearing was today. 75 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: That is what was going on at the House Judiciary 76 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: Committee hearing with Korey Lewandowski, former UH advisor to Trump 77 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: campaign manager for President Trump. And I gotta tell you, 78 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: I think that Korey Lewandowski was taking the right approach here. 79 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: The process is the punish with them with the processes, 80 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: the punishment with Democrats. We know this, This is why 81 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: they keep bringing back the same different the same narratives 82 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: at all. But let's have more hearings, Let's have more investigation. Oh, 83 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: the FBI didn't investigate Kavana enough. Now they want a 84 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: new investigation. We'll get to the Kavanaugh stuff. The Special 85 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: Counsel Robert Mueller, he didn't investigate enough around around Trump 86 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: and Russia collusion and an obstruction, And let's have more investigation. 87 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: There's never enough investigation because it's just harassment, it's undermining. 88 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: It's the absence of good faith, the absence of seriousness, 89 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: of decency, of worthwhile purpose from these congressional Democrats, just 90 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: just needling, going after poking at every person around Trump, 91 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: just trying to do everything that they can to try 92 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: to undermine them, rattle them. And so Korey Lundowski was 93 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: just not having it today. It's like I've been told 94 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: by the White House not to answer your a coequal 95 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: branch of government. Take it up with the White House, 96 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: Korey Lundowski, all these guys, they've already spoken to the 97 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: Special Counsel that they've been through. How much interrogation is enough? 98 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: You know, what if? What if Congress wanted to have 99 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: somebody to call a witness, you know, every day the 100 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: Congress was in session. I mean, is there a point 101 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: at which it's obvious that this is harassment to everybody, 102 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: because it should be there right now, Let's have more 103 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: more hearings on impeachment. Let's talk. They have the full 104 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: report for Muller. They have the report, and today there 105 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: were some moments where you know, they were telling they 106 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: were telling Korey Lewandowski, you know, oh, well, well you 107 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: need to read this, and he just said, I'm I'm 108 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: not gonna read it. I'm not gonna play your game. 109 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stand here and or sit here. Rather, 110 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: it's not standing. I'm not gonna sit here and just 111 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: jump when you say jump, do whatever you tell me 112 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: to do. He's a citizen, he has rights. He doesn't 113 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: have to sign up for the humiliation humiliation session that 114 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: the Democrats are insisting on. So he stood his ground. 115 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I've I've never I've never been 116 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: impressed by Kory Lewandowski before. Now that's not to say 117 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: that I just I've never been impressed by the guy. 118 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: I've never heard him say anything particularly insightful. You know, 119 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I also I've interviewen a couple of times. 120 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Nice enough guy, fine, But today I was like, wow, 121 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: I kind of understand now why Trump feels the way 122 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: he does about Korey Lewandowski. He's a fighter. This is nonsense. 123 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: The Democrats don't. The Democrats in Congress don't deserve respect 124 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: when doing the things that they were doing today. Oh, 125 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: read this section of the mull report. It was all 126 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: about just trying to get their their cable news moment. Oh, 127 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: look at that sound bite, really showing us how strong 128 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: they are at the resistance. It's not about good government, 129 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: it's thought about fixing anything. And in fact, Korey Lewandowski 130 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: made that case in conclusion. And it's sad to say 131 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: this country has spent over three years and forty million 132 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars on these investigations, and it's now clear that 133 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: the investigation was populated by many Trump haters who had 134 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: their own agenda to take down a duly elected president 135 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: of United States. As for actual collusion or conspiracy, there 136 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: was none. What there has been, however, is harassment of 137 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: this president. From the day he won the election. We 138 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: as a nation would be better served if elected officials 139 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: like yourself concentrated your efforts to combat the true crises 140 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: facing our country as opposed to going down rabbit holes 141 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: like this hearing, instead of focusing on petty and personal politics. 142 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: The committee, folks, on solving the challenges of this generation. 143 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: Imagine how many people we could help or how many 144 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: lives we could save. Democrats don't want to do any 145 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: of that stuff. They don't want to try to fix problems. 146 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: They want to create more problems for anybody who ever 147 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: worked for Donald Trump. They want to drag them through 148 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: them all. They want to ruin them. I mean, look 149 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: at look at how the Democrats do their version of 150 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: opposition to the Republican Party at this point, their ideas, 151 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: their responses that are supposed to make things better for 152 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: the American people, that's all an afterthought. What they really 153 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: want to do is just destroy the other side. It's 154 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: just a ferocious hatred for Trump, for anybody who's worked 155 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: for Trump, and they want to humiliate people and they 156 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: want to destroy them if they have no common decency 157 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: whatsoever in this process. And so that's why when krey 158 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: Lewandowski decides that he's going to take the position that 159 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: this is a sham, that the people that are asking 160 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: these questions have no interest in getting to the truth, 161 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: that this isn't about illuminating any subject for the American people, 162 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: that this is just meant to humiliate someone, to make 163 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: them make their life more difficult, in order to prop 164 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: up the political fortunes of a bunch of status Democrat 165 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: loons who are completely consumed with anti Trump hatred. He's 166 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: just not having it. You know, they do this thing 167 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: where they ask him a question, and I guess members 168 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: of Congress because oh, it's in the Congress, and you know, 169 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: people really have to treat it like it's this sacred place. 170 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Congress is full of clowns. Unfortunately, there are 171 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: clowns on the Republican side too, but not as many 172 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: as the Democrats side, but full of clowns. And that's 173 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: really on us. I suppose the American people. We're voting 174 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: for them. So I'm sitting here in New York and 175 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: we're not exactly putting forward the best congressman and congresswoman here. 176 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm coming to you from the place that gave America 177 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: elected official AOC. So she's the boss. Apparently, at least 178 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: of what one congressional district. So Corey decided that he 179 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: was going to punch back. He was gonna fight back. 180 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: And you could tell Democrats were a little flummixed by this. 181 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: They're used to just being able to talk over witnesses, 182 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: you know, oh, the Muller Report, let's talk about more. 183 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,479 Speaker 1: They ask questions, they don't want answers. They ask questions 184 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: merely as a form of attack so that they can 185 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: then overtalk and override whatever the response was going to be. 186 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: And this is, for example, the classic CNN anchor maneuver 187 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: that I used to deal with. Explain to me why 188 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is racist and worse than Hitler, the CNN 189 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: anchor would ask, and I'd say, well, I think that's 190 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: really a proproblem. But he's worse than Hitler. We all 191 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: know this. Let's have another guest come in and say it. 192 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what the members of Congress do. It's 193 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: like they're all these Democrats are auditioning for, you know, 194 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: a little weekend show at MSNBC or there, or they're 195 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: a morning show at CNN or whatever. They're not being 196 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: respectful to Lui Is And it's so funny too. You 197 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: see the way that Democrats when when someone like like 198 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: James Coomey is testifying in front of the Congress, or 199 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: or someone like Bob Mullard's home hush tones, thank you 200 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: so much, serve for your service. What you've done is amazing. 201 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: So you're just such a patriot. Now tell us why 202 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: Donald Trump should be destroyed and everybody around him has 203 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: betrayed the country. I mean, you know, this is what 204 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: they do, and it's so tiresome. And I can imagine 205 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: for people that are engaged in what's going on in 206 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: the country and I don't know about politics insofar as 207 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: it affects them and it affects their families and their communities, 208 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 1: they've got to look at this and just think, is 209 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: this the best we can do? And if not that 210 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: at least they can look at Corey Lewandowski with the 211 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 1: line of the day here when Eric Swalwell, who is 212 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: just he's a he's just an empty suit, guy's got nothing. 213 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: When Swalwell decides to do exactly what all these Democrats 214 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: were doing, just trying to poke at Lewandowski, trying to 215 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: make him look bad. Corey for the win, I'm happy 216 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,079 Speaker 1: to have you read a congressman well, why don't you 217 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: want to read it? Mister Lewindowski, I think you should 218 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: afford me the same privilege you afforded Director Muller. Would 219 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: you like to read it? No, you're welcome to read it. 220 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: Are you ashamed of the words that you wrote down? 221 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: President Swallowell, I'm very happy of what I've written, But 222 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: you're welcome to read it if you'd like you. Are 223 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: you ashamed to read it out loud? I'm not ashamed 224 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: of anything of my life, Congressman, an't you then? Why 225 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: don't you read the words? Congressman, I've asked and answered 226 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: your questions. Why won't you read the words aloud? I've 227 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: asked and answered your question. Courressman, if you'd like to 228 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: read the words, you're welcome to. Well, you were ashamed 229 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: to read them out loud, and you didn't deliver those 230 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: words to the person the president asked you to. President Swallowell, 231 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: I think that's the only time that that guy's going 232 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: to hear that for a very long time. That was 233 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: fun telling him read these words? Do this? Do that? 234 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: What an embarrassment. The embarrassment here is all on the 235 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: Democrat side. I'm acting like a bunch of total jerks today, 236 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: all of them no respect, no decency, and by acting 237 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: the way that the Democrats were, they undermine the very 238 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: institution that gives them their authority and their power in 239 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: the first place. But there's another lesson here. We don't 240 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: have to just allow the other side to constantly weaponize 241 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: the process against us. We don't have to just be 242 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: the ones that say, well, these are the rules, and 243 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: we always play by the rules exactly as written in 244 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: the best spirit possible. So you know, that's what we're 245 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: gonna do. You know, look look at what the Trump administration, 246 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: for example, did during the Muller probe. Gave them you know, 247 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: no claims of executive privilege during the Muller probe, access 248 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: to every whatever, documents, all this stuff. Did that get 249 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: them anything? Was there any good faith that resulted from 250 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: that from the Democrats? No, You give the Democrats something 251 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: out of good faith and they just think that you're weak. 252 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: They think that there's an opening. Now. So I like 253 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: the way Lewandowski did it, you know, go Leonitis style. 254 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: I'll come and take it. I mean, you know, if 255 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: they want to fight, give them a fight. And this 256 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: should be the way that everybody who goes in front 257 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: of Congress, and they shouldn't just sit there and yes, 258 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: yes sir, no sir, yes, ma'am, no, ma'am. They're gonna 259 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: make fun of you, they're gonna talk over you, they're 260 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: gonna act in ways that are inappropriate. Make them call 261 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the sergeant at arms or whatever in the Congress and 262 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: arrest you. Let's see how that goes.

Bring up one of 295 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,239 Speaker 1: the best biggest victories. Think he's been able to accomplish 296 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: and only he could do this. Two thousand and eight, 297 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: I was changing jobs and my financial adviser told me. 298 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: I was telling him it seems like we're coming down 299 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: on hard times in two thousand and eight, and he says, yeah, 300 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: but Matt, you have to understand that corporations right now 301 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: are record levels, cash rich like never have ever been before. 302 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: The problem is they're hanging on to their money. And 303 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: since that year, the government and the Democrats have been 304 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: trying to find ways to get the capitalists to release 305 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 1: their money to energize the economy. And President Obama couldn't 306 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: do it in two terms. We got sixty seconds, Matt, 307 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: So we got to get to a point here. Okay, 308 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: The point is President Trump was able to do it. 309 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: He was able to do it by giving them a 310 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: reason to invest back into the country. He made several 311 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: maneuvers when he got elected to bring work back into 312 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: the US and keep work here in the US, and 313 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: they had to reinvest to do it. I do remember, Matt, 314 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: thanks for calling from Ohio, my friend. I do remember 315 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: people saying at the end of the Obama last couple 316 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: of years of the obaministration, it was, you know, get 317 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: ready for GDP to not be that great, get ready 318 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: for an economic future that's not going to be what 319 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: it used to be. And then Trump comes in and 320 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: it's like, Oh, of course the economy is booming. Oh, 321 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: it's the Obama economy now, I don't think so.

We will get to the possibility of a 328 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, hopefully not a war 329 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: between the US and Iran. We'll discuss that. Also, we 330 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: got a whole lot more fallout from the Cavanaugh bombshell 331 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: that blew back in the faces of those who thought 332 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: it was going to take down the Supreme Court justice 333 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: or at least further hurt his reputation. We will talk 334 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: about that and then uh, we got some other interesting 335 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: things here. Two. Um. But first matta, Oh wait, Charles, 336 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry Charles in Massachusetts. Y're up next? Or what's up? Yes? Well, 337 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: the reason I'm calling is because of a lot of 338 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: concern about the situation, as you say, in between Saudi 339 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: or Radio and Iran. And the fact is is that 340 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: if we get involved with a bombing rage in Iran. 341 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 1: Of course we would have with Russia and China supporting Iran. 342 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: And the result is that if we get involved, then 343 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: it'll just give the Democrats and everybody a chance to 344 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: oppose Trump, and it may very well jeopardize his reelection. 345 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: He's in other words, if we get into a war, 346 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 1: he's out. This is what I've been hearing. It's a well, 347 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: it's a big it's a big risk for him. Look, 348 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: it's a big risk for the American people. First and foremost, right, 349 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: we don't want another war. We've had enough of these wars. 350 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: But beyond that, the president really broke with the GOP 351 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: establishment on foreign policy. That having a muscular foreign policy 352 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: where people can't mess with America isn't the same thing as, Okay, 353 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: this country's got problems, let's go in to topple the 354 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: dictator and try to rebuild this country largely from the 355 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: ground up. That's not the same thing. And Trump had 356 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: a different approach, a more non interventionist, which is not 357 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: the same as an isolationist, a non interventionist approach to issues, 358 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: particularly in the Middle East. So yeah, if he gets 359 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: drawn into a war, Charles to your point in Massachusetts, 360 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 1: that would be I'm sorry, in the Middle East. You're 361 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, that would be a betrayal in a sense 362 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: of a major campaign promise. So he can't do that. 363 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean politically, it's a terrible idea, and it's a 364 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: bad idea just because it's a war that we shouldn't 365 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: be fighting. So I hear man, Charles, thank you for 366 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: calling in, Tim in Ohio, double Ohio tonight. What's going on? Tim? Hey, 367 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: that's been gosh a couple of months since I talked 368 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 1: to you last Well, great to have you back, my friend. Hey, listen, uh, 369 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,239 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you something. I gotta two clips are 370 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: Brad Pascal. I was listening out there. But we want 371 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: to get the president elected. Okay, So these are just 372 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: my my kind of key ideas that get it gone, 373 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: all right. Number one, I've worked for steel workers, but 374 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: I worked in manufacturing under middle medical manufacturing, but steel 375 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: workers I know that actually worked for steel production. It's slow. 376 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: And also I'm a I'm a hobby farmer, but I 377 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: have a lot of real farmers per se, and I'm saying, hey, 378 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: what's a pulse man? You guys pissed off? Because it's 379 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 1: China deal. You've hissnel to the trade deals. And you 380 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: know what, we know Donald Trump's trying to do the 381 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: right thing. Giving him time. So here's the deal, though, 382 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: He's got to go into I think, on his next 383 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: couple of trips, go into rust belt areas and tell 384 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: them we're turning to get this MCA pushed through, that 385 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: everything's going to be better for everybody wants mcass through. 386 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: Flip this thing on the Democrats, same in the Democrats 387 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: for not helping out the farmers and the workers and 388 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: manufactures of this country. He's got to start flipping this 389 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: thing one into areas and purposing on them and one 390 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: of them putting it up, Nancy putting it up for 391 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: a vote. You know what I'm saying. I hear you, man, 392 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Jim for calling from Ohio. And yes, 393 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: I think that there has been a uh how do 394 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: I put this? There's well, there's certainly been a delusion 395 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: on the left for a while and among the Democrats 396 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: that the status quo on trade was good. That's not true. 397 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: Trump is right that the status quo on trade with 398 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: China specifically, but also with some other countries was unacceptable, 399 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: needed to be changed, needed to be updated, or needed 400 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: to be dramatically shifted, as we see with China, where 401 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: we have these ongoing now this back and forth on 402 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: making making a fair deal with China un necessity on 403 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: their end by saying, Okay, if you're gonna play rough, 404 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: we're gonna play rough. So I think that there is 405 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: some some wisdom in Trump getting he's going to though. 406 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: I mean this to Tim's point. He will be telling 407 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: the American people, and specifically farmers and steel workers, people 408 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: that have been directly affected by the tariffs, by the 409 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: trade war, which called a trade war seems a little 410 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: extreme given how small a component of our economy is 411 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: and how limited has been up to this point. But 412 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: let's say the trade mute that is playing out via tariffs. 413 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: Trump will make the case that this was short term 414 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: pain for long term gain, and that ultimately he's doing 415 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: what we always say we want politicians to do. We 416 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: want politicians to lead, we want them to make tough 417 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: choices that need to be made. Right. That's what he's 418 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: doing on China. And is he gonna win? I hope so. 419 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: But he is doing something the right thing to do. Yeah, 420 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: I think that's true as well. James and Boston. What's 421 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: going on? James and Boston. Hello, Buck, Hey buddy, before 422 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: it gets lost, shield tie shield tie love love the show. 423 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you so much, pleasure.

And I know that I know that 425 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: the audience has split on taking calls and not, but 426 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking minds. Uh, taxes in two quick 427 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: very more, two more quick points. If I may, if 428 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: I can, I'll be very efficient. I know you're a 429 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: student of history, very clear, You're You're terrific. You're you're 430 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: the future talk radio, the president also, but definitely the future. Um. 431 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: The income tax is not what we think it is. 432 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: It dates back to eighteen sixty two. It's an exercise tax. 433 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: You can research it if I may give a website, 434 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: Lost horizons dot com. Okay, and uh, if you if 435 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: you'll do the research, you'll find out that it's only 436 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: people exercising federal privilege who owed federal income tax. I 437 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: don't want to get you know, overly complex, but for 438 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: those that are interesting, I hope you do it yourself 439 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: because I know you'd love to stop paying taxes and 440 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: you can do it lawfully. I've been studying this for 441 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,479 Speaker 1: three years. I've filed. I cannot recommend anybody try this, 442 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: be honest with you. I'm pretty sure that oh gosh, 443 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: you cameber the guy's name now. But there's a there's 444 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: a finance guy that I used to do some work 445 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: with back the day at the Blaze, and his dad 446 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: tried this and they send him to prison for a 447 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: long time. So I would not recommend this. Well, Buck, 448 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, don't do it. Research it, Okay, 449 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: research it comfortable, then you can do it. To two 450 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: more quick points. Don't be comfortable with it as from 451 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, but go ahead, I'll be, I'll be, 452 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: I'll be real fast.

And last point and last point, uh, And 456 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 1: I've been I've had the tools. This is what is 457 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: my mission of life is helping people heal. Last point 458 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: is the second Amendment. Talk to some of your friends 459 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: who've commanded troops in the military. If the government's coming 460 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: after us, they're not come with them with them for it. 461 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna come with Abrahams. They're gonna come with a 462 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: Patchrie helicopters eight tens. So the right to bear arms, 463 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: we would need to turn back Tyranny. We'd need Stinger milions, 464 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: we'd need javelin men. I'm not sure that's true either, 465 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: But James, I do appreciate your colm words about the show. 466 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: Thanks very much for calling in. Um all right, you 467 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: know we we we open up the lines. If he 468 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 1: could cure Celiac disease, he should be a billionaire. And 469 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: if we need Stinger missiles, I need to know why 470 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 1: we can't pacify Afghanistan. They don't. I mean they have 471 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: like one hundred Stinger missiles that don't work anymore because 472 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: the batteries are dead. But you know, yeah, I don't know. 473 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: Should we do one more? Should we do it? You 474 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: know what? I think we're gonna get back to the show. 475 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna go back through the actual radio 476 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: show here, so a team. When we come back, let's 477 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: discuss where these where the latest is with the New 478 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: York Times debacle, and then also we'll get into some 479 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: of the Iran versus Saudi Arabia situation. So stay with me, 480 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: we'll be right back. I think this is sort of 481 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 1: ground zero for why so many people mistrust the media, 482 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: why the New York Times has the nickname for New 483 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: York slimes with many people in conservative circles. The Times 484 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: actually had to run an editor's note following up, how 485 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: did this vital fact get left out? Okay, thank you 486 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: so much for the question. We're eager to clear the 487 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: air on this. First of all, there was no desire 488 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: to withhold important information from our readers. We have all 489 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: of it in the book, and the essay is an 490 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: adaptation of the book that, of course we had to 491 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: edit for length and clarity. The thrust of the essay 492 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: was about probably a bad word choice. The point of 493 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: the essay was about Deborah Ramirez, a woman who had 494 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: gone to college with Justice Kavanaugh and had this experience 495 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: where she alleged that he exposed himself to her and 496 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: it was a very troubling event, and we lay out 497 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: all the reasons why that was not just the moment itself, 498 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: but the experience she was having at Yale being very difficult. 499 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: Within that, we talked about this new, as yet unreported 500 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: allegation because we thought it was germane it was a 501 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: similar type of situation to the Ramirez one. During the 502 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: editing process, there was an oversight, and this key detail 503 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: about the fact that the woman herself has told friends 504 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: she doesn't remember it and has not wanted to talk 505 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: about it got cut and it was an oversight and 506 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 1: the Times adjusted it and we're very sorry that it happened. 507 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: And not buying it. That is bull That is not 508 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: something that you or I should believe for one second, 509 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: my friends. First of all, if it was an oversight, 510 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: why did it take them over twenty four hours after 511 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: it was published to add that editor's note. If it 512 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: was just if it just got cut in the normal 513 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: editing process. First of all, it takes a very special 514 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: kind of journalist to think that the way do you 515 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: enhance your journalistic integrity when it has been called into 516 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: questions to say, oh, it was my editor's fault. Oh really, 517 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: it was the editor's fault. That's very interesting because it 518 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: wasn't a little detail. This wasn't a spelling error, this 519 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: wasn't a typo that was that was a naughty word 520 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: by accident or something you know that can happen that 521 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: then that can be the editor's all right, but this 522 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: was and absolutely critical, essential detail that undermined the entire 523 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: point of the article, which was that, oh, yeah, we 524 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: corroborated Deborah Emirazes allegations against Kavanaugh. And oh, by the way, 525 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: there's this other allegation that seems very similar, and this 526 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: other allegation added to the Debi Ramirez allegation. You know 527 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: that they all remember, they always want multiple accusers because 528 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: multiple accusers feels, at least to the public, like, well, 529 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: there must be some truth to this. Now, even though 530 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: with Kavanaugh there were three accusers and they were all 531 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: they were all wrong. They were not telling true stories, 532 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: different degrees of crazy in terms of the details, the 533 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: lack of details, the lack of corroboration, and different degrees 534 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: of outlandish. But none of them had credible stories. Remain 535 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: accusers against Kavanaugh. And oh remember it wasn't just three accusers. 536 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: There was also the Kavanaugh raped day woman in a 537 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: boat in Rhode Island accuser that came forward to the Senate. 538 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: You didn't hear about her, You know why, because even 539 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: Senate Democrats knew that's gonna be tough, because he's never 540 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: been to Rhode Island at that point in his life. 541 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: So if we can't put him in the state, if 542 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: he can say, definitely, I've never been in the state 543 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: of Rhode Island up to the point when this allegedly happened. 544 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: You know, you know, I have never been to Montana. 545 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: So it's pretty easy for me to prove that, like, 546 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: I've never killed anybody in Montana. But there were other people. 547 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: Did she have a right to be believed? The woman 548 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: who claimed that she was raped in a boat in 549 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: Rhode Island, did she have a right to be But no, 550 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: she did not. She had a right to be told 551 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: you're lying, go away, And that's what happened. So remember 552 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: that there is such a thing as entire not credible 553 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,479 Speaker 1: and malicious. And oh, by the way, there can be 554 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: legal penalties for that if you swear under oath, if 555 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: you swear out a statement against somebody to the police, 556 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: and those legal penalties should be enforced. Perhaps that's a 557 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: little further down the line here in the conversation. Let's 558 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: get back into the New York Times debacle. So they 559 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: today tried to double down. They were not backing. Okay, 560 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: I guess they feel like they have no choice. I mean, 561 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: the New York Times, if you are paying attention and 562 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: and you're not a leftist who believes that anything that 563 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: advances the cause of the left is inherently justified, then 564 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: you find yourself saying The New York Times cannot be 565 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 1: trusted on politically sensitive issues. When I trust the New 566 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: York Times to tell me, you know where I can 567 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: get the best ruben sandwich in New York City, I mean, 568 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 1: the food stuff that they do is good, and I 569 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 1: think they probably don't I think they probably don't cheat 570 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: on the weather, although heaven forbid we start talking about 571 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: climate change. You know, there's some utility to the New 572 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: York Times. Some of you are saying, yes for the 573 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: bottom of my bird or a rabbit cage. I mean, 574 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: there are some things you can do with the New 575 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: York Times where the politics don't really matter. But anything 576 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 1: that is even remotely politically sensitive and then includes the 577 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: arts book review, you know, you name it. It is 578 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: a left wing propaganda machine, full stop. And that was 579 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: what you saw yesterday with the this claim of an oversight. Ooh, 580 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: in the editing process, we just happened to miss this 581 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: absolutely essential detail. You know what else they seem to 582 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: leave out of that essay? Which comes up in the book. 583 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: And by the way, will be joined by Tiana Lowe, 584 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: who's really an up and coming star reporter over at 585 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: the writer over at the Washington Examiner. You know what, 586 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: She's done research on this and she read through the 587 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: whole book, so she'll join us to tell us what 588 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 1: we need to know about the education of Brett Kavanaugh. 589 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: Leland Kaiser was the best friend of Christine blasi Ford 590 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: and Leland Kaiser according to this book that just came out, 591 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: and they didn't want to focus on this part of 592 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: the story, but this is information. I believe this was 593 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 1: already out there a bit. And and thank heavens, Molly 594 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 1: Hemingway who wrote her book before, and Kerry Savorino, who 595 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: wrote their book before this one came out. They've already 596 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: done all the research. And they're the ones who are 597 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,760 Speaker 1: pointing this out. They're the ones who are pointing out 598 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: when these unbelievable lapses in the liberal anti Kavanaugh narrative, 599 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, the unbelievable lapses and omissions of essential fact 600 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: or fabrications even occur. At least Carrie and Molly are 601 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: out there saying, Nope, that's not what happened. Nope, that's 602 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 1: not true. That's why they had to append that editor's note. 603 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: But Leland kai Or had some there's some very interesting 604 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: things about her situation. One is that she has more 605 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: recently come forward and said that she just did not 606 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,800 Speaker 1: believe does not believe that this happened. This is Christine 607 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: Blasi Ford's best friend who was supposed to be at 608 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: the party, doesn't believe that it happened. And beyond that, 609 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: and this maybe tells us even more, said that she 610 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: was subject to the worst kinds of threats, intimidation, abuse 611 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: in order to lie and back up Christine blasi Ford. 612 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: That's what the left was reduced to here, my friends, 613 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: finding innocent people beyond Kavanaugh saying you better back up 614 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:53,359 Speaker 1: this woman who's either crazy or lying or else. Radicals 615 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: have a habit, a habit of finding a way to 616 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 1: justify anything that they want. You will probably be familiar, 617 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure with the Castro quote. Within the revolution, everything 618 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 1: against the revolution, nothing. Any time in the Soviet Union 619 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: somebody was to become a target of the state and 620 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: enemy of the state, they would say that the person 621 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: was a counter revolutionary. And that's all you had to say. 622 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: If you were a counter revolutionary, then you were against 623 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: the single most important purpose of life within the Soviet Union, 624 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,359 Speaker 1: which was the revolution itself, the workers paradise that would come, 625 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: the socialist Marxist utopia of the future. How could you, 626 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: how could anything be allowed to stand in the way 627 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: of that. When radicals decide something is important enough, then 628 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: they can justify absolutely anything. I bring this up just 629 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: because I do not think it is a stretch at all. 630 00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:00,040 Speaker 1: When you see, when you think about how devoted to 631 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 1: the cause of abortion and Roe v Wade, many particularly 632 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: many women of a certain age roughly you know, the 633 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: Boomers and a gen X and gen y, when you 634 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: see how devoted to abortion they are. They believe it 635 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: is sacred. They believe that they would enter a period 636 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: of virtual enslavement as women if they did not have 637 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 1: the right to term it a pregnancy at any point 638 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: during the nine months of a pregnancy up to and 639 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: including the day of birth. So when you understand the 640 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: radicalism behind the mentality, then of course someone could justify 641 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: in their own head ruining a man's reputation, lying about 642 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 1: someone ridiculing him, destroying him in front of the entire country, 643 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: in front of his own family, sure, you may find 644 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 1: that that's unsavory, might make you uncomfortable, But if you're 645 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: a true revolutionary, if you really believe that a fundamental 646 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: woman's right is on the line, as an abortion radical, 647 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: what would you not be willing to do? What would 648 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 1: you not be willing to say? We know it came 649 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: out recently that Christine blasi Ford's own lawyer said that 650 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: one of the reasons. Now they would say, oh, it's 651 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: just one of them, but one of the motivations was 652 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: to protect rov wait, that's why. That's why she felt 653 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 1: the need to step forward. So there there's no question 654 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 1: that there was a political motivation that The only outstanding 655 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: issue is was that political motivation so powerful that it 656 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: was used to wipe away any concern, any compunction, any 657 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 1: hesitation at the most horrific and despicable character assassination of 658 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: a good man that I think any of us can 659 00:38:55,640 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: can think of it. It was truly heinous. They try 660 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: to do and are still trying to to Kavanaugh and 661 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: the members of the Democrat Congress who are saying that 662 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: they want to impeach Kavanaugh, that they want to have 663 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 1: a new investigation, even they should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately, 664 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: they are I'm sure not in the least ashamed of themselves, 665 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: because why the most important, the most important thing to 666 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: them is that there is a symbolism here that if 667 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 1: nothing else, if you are in the Kavanaugh seat, if 668 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 1: you're the person that the left asides is a threat 669 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,000 Speaker 1: to the agenda, you will go through hell and even 670 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: if you survive, you will be scarred for life by it. 671 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: That's the message that has been sent here. Even though 672 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: Kavanas sits on the Supreme Court, the message that I 673 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: think Justice Roberts, for example, who also sits on the 674 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, pays very close attention to. He is a waffler, 675 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: he is an institutionalist. He's somebody who does not want 676 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: mean things to be said about him in the press 677 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 1: and on law campuses all across the country. Don't think 678 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: that the left gets nothing out of all of this. Sure, 679 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: there's a kind of psychotic Catharsis for them, of just 680 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: trying to destroy somebody they disagree with. But it's more 681 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: than that. They have sent a message, and the message 682 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: will resonate and as people consider the possibility of Ruth 683 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,920 Speaker 1: Bader Ginsburg's seat at some point undetermined in the future 684 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: opening up what has happened here with Kavanaugh, they will 685 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,439 Speaker 1: be willing to replay this. I think they'll be willing 686 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 1: to go at this again. But to the point about 687 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: hardliners and revolutionaries being willing to do whatever it takes, 688 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: because nothing can be more important than the revolution. I 689 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: just bring you the some of the additional information that 690 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: has come to light now about these two writers who 691 00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: put out this book at the New York The New 692 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: York Times writers now are authors of this book, and 693 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:08,279 Speaker 1: the formidable and wonderful Molly Hemingway is on the case 694 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: once again, and she writes the following. Robin Poel Graben 695 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 1: and Kate Kelly wrote the much discussed and later corrected 696 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 1: essay in The New York Times. A New Atlantic published 697 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: adapted excerpt of the book attempts to resurrect Poel, Grayban 698 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: and Kelly's anti Kavanaugh smears, but once again has a 699 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: major error. In a section explaining why they believe the 700 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,799 Speaker 1: accusers despite the lack of evidence, they write that their 701 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,320 Speaker 1: emotional reaction to the claims was that the claims rang true, 702 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,720 Speaker 1: but they get major facts wrong. This is from the book. 703 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: Remember the book that the essay adaptation left out that 704 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 1: they that the woman has no memory of it, according 705 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: to her friends, and has not gone on the record 706 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: to say that this thing ever occurred. Not Ramira as 707 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: the other the other woman quote using Martha's common sense test. 708 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: The claims of Deborah Ramirez, while not proven by witnesses, 709 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 1: also ring true to us. Ramirez, who was a Yale 710 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: classmate of Kavanaugh, said he drunkenly thrust his blank at 711 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 1: her during a party in their freshman year dormitory. The 712 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: people who allegedly witnessed the event, Kavanaugh's friends, Kevin Genda, 713 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: David Todd, and David White, have kept mum about it. 714 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh has denied it. HM, that's interesting. It's interesting because 715 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: it's not true. It's pretty important, isn't it. The implication 716 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: here is that, well, Kavanaugh's friends who are there, they 717 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: haven't said anything about it. The problem is there was 718 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: the New Yorker article that was the first attempt, the 719 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: first character assassination shot taken in Kavanaugh's direction on the 720 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: Ramirez case, not the Blasi Ford smear, but in that 721 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 1: regional New Yorker piece remembered by Ronan Pharaoh and Jane Mayer, 722 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: this is what they wrote. So this is already out 723 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: there on the record, has been for a long time. Quote. 724 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: One of the male classmates who Ramirez said egged on 725 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh denied any memory of the party. I quote, I 726 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 1: don't think Brett would flash himself to Debbi or anyone 727 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: else for that matter. Asked why he thought Ramirez was 728 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: making the allegation up, he responded, I have no idea. 729 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: The other male classmate who Ramirez said was involved in 730 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 1: the incident commented, I have zero recollection. In a statement, 731 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 1: two of those male classmates who Ramira's alleged were involved 732 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: in the incident, the wife of a third male student 733 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: she said was involved, and one other classmate, Dan Murphy, 734 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: disputed Ramirez's account of events. Quote. We were the people 735 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,200 Speaker 1: closest to Brett Kavanaugh during his first year at Yale. 736 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: He was a roommate to some of us, and we 737 00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: spent a great deal of time with him, including in 738 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: the dorm where this incident allegedly took place. Some of 739 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: us were also friends with Debbie Ramirez during and after 740 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 1: her time at Yale. We can say with confidence that 741 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,360 Speaker 1: if the incident Debbie alleges ever occurred, we would have 742 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: seen or heard about it, and we did not. The 743 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,040 Speaker 1: behavior she describes to be completely out of character for Brett. 744 00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 1: In addition, some of us knew Debbie long after Yale, 745 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,840 Speaker 1: and she never described this incident until Brett's Supreme Court 746 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,840 Speaker 1: nomination was pending. Editors from The New Yorker contacted some 747 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: of us because we are the people who would know 748 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,840 Speaker 1: the truth, and we told them that we never saw 749 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: or heard about this. Does that sound like keeping mum? 750 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: How could this new book? This ten months of thorough 751 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: research for The New York Times, writers have declared that 752 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 1: that is the people around Brett, you know, his friends. 753 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,959 Speaker 1: They kept mum about this. They didn't keep mum. They said, 754 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: no way, this is crap. Brett wouldn't do this, This 755 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 1: didn't happen. We never heard about this. This is a lie. 756 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not exactly what they said. That's what 757 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 1: they're saying. Why would she lie? Well, that's why I 758 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:10,040 Speaker 1: started out with, Well, because she's would you what would 759 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:15,880 Speaker 1: we say? She's responding to a higher power here. Roe v. Wade. 760 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: Rovie Wade is the revolution in this case. Roe v. 761 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: Wade is all that really matters to people of a 762 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: certain liberal mindset. Anything that would keep it would be justified. 763 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 1: I think it's what's even more unfair to Kavanaughs. I 764 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,319 Speaker 1: don't believe Kavanaugh is going to overturn Roe v. Wade. 765 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be a part of that. 766 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: I think Kavanaugh is much less of a doctrinaire right 767 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: winger than many of the the left. Many on the 768 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: left seem to just assume. But because he's not, you know, 769 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: one of the far left activist judges on the Supreme Court, 770 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: he is a target. Isn't that a pretty big though? 771 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,040 Speaker 1: The the that the Friends kept mum, isn't that a 772 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,879 Speaker 1: pretty big error to have? Once again, another error and 773 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: just as we see when they run these fake news 774 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,360 Speaker 1: stories that the media that has to retract and we 775 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 1: know this is information that is left out or that 776 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: they lie about that would be helpful to the pro 777 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: Cavanaugh calls. Once again just like oh yeah, the woman 778 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 1: that we claim that this guy, Max whatever's name is, 779 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: you want to hear about Max Max Steyer is a 780 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: good governance advocate here here, this guy is. We need business, 781 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: we need nonprofits, we need universities, we need all these 782 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,800 Speaker 1: associations who care about a policy issue, associate of government 783 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 1: to take some peace of their advocacy and make it 784 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 1: not about the policy, but make it about the execution, 785 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,399 Speaker 1: and make it about building capacity in our government. Okay, 786 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,319 Speaker 1: let me just jump in right there. Does anybody think 787 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,760 Speaker 1: that a guy that spends spends his time talking about 788 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: building capacity in our government is anything other than a liberal? Okay? 789 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,000 Speaker 1: Can we just can we just get that out there 790 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 1: right now? Guys a lib? All right, guys, a liberal? 791 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: Start with that. And he did defend the Clintons, and 792 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: they left that I defend Bill Clinton and they left 793 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 1: that off the essay. Now, you might say, buck, but 794 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 1: these these errors. They would never do this on purpose 795 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 1: because it would make them look bad. No, sometimes the 796 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,960 Speaker 1: smear only has to last a few days to have 797 00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: the intended effect. People will believe it anyway. You see 798 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: this with Twitter all the time. Some leftist in the 799 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,880 Speaker 1: media will say, oh, you know, there's video of Trump 800 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 1: taking a bribe, and then they'll say, oh, no, sorry, 801 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,800 Speaker 1: that was that was somebody made that up on a blog. 802 00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: And the first tweet gets fifty thousand retweets and the 803 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: second tweet gets five. Still feeds into the perception that 804 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 1: Trump is corrupt. People will still think, oh, maybe that 805 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,320 Speaker 1: was true. I don't know. I didn't see the other thing. Folks. 806 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 1: We know what they're doing to Kavanaugh. We figured it 807 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 1: out out, We've seen it coming all along. Nothing has changed. 808 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:08,920 Speaker 1: These people are radicals, and they're willing to completely cast 809 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,799 Speaker 1: aside any decency, any ethics, in order to destroy a 810 00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,920 Speaker 1: man that even the authors of this book said, after 811 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: college and I don't even know if I have the 812 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:26,720 Speaker 1: time to get into this, but after college he was Okay, 813 00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:34,320 Speaker 1: here we go twenty We have found that we corroborate 814 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 1: these stories of Debrah Ramirez and Christine Blasi Ford. But 815 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,880 Speaker 1: in the thirty six years since, Bret Cavanaugh has been 816 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 1: a better man. You know, whether he realized the error 817 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,840 Speaker 1: of his ways, whether and he consciously reformed himself or 818 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,680 Speaker 1: he grew up and simply matured. He has been an 819 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:52,320 Speaker 1: exemplary judge. Everyone we talked to couldn't speak more highly 820 00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,400 Speaker 1: of him on both sides of the aisle. And he 821 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: actually has a much more nuanced view kind of position 822 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 1: on the court. He's not a right wing idealogue either. 823 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,280 Speaker 1: He's actually in a st aublishment conservative who has promoted 824 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,560 Speaker 1: women on the court. So that's something else I want 825 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 1: to So what's more likely that psychotic leftists in the media, 826 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 1: which the media is full of psychotic leftists, have created 827 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 1: this whole series of lies and propped out these lies 828 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,720 Speaker 1: about Kavanaugh, who then without anyone, without ever getting in trouble, 829 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 1: without ever having anybody say hey, you can't do that, 830 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:26,640 Speaker 1: when he was a you know, a man in high school, 831 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 1: in college, becomes an absolute exemplar of good behavior, becomes 832 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 1: the guy that you want coaching your daughter's basketball team, 833 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 1: living next door to you, teaching Sunday school, and is 834 00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: brilliant and is wildly successful. What's more likely that he 835 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 1: just randomly became that guy after being the crazy grabby 836 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 1: want to be rapist flasher man through high school and college, 837 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: or that these leftists are lying don't let the whole 838 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: oh we're being fairedom lives do this in the media 839 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 1: all the time. They throw out a little this is 840 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: the Jake Tapper maneuver. One one real question and then 841 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,359 Speaker 1: ninety bits of prop ninety questions of propaganda. But oh 842 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,520 Speaker 1: I asked a real question. Oh yeah, sure, as an adult, 843 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,680 Speaker 1: he's been like the most amazing human being ever. But 844 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, must have been that he turned it all 845 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 1: around after what he did in high school and college. 846 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,200 Speaker 1: Oh wait, no, I have a different idea, Libs, you're 847 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 1: lying about this. Man corroborated, Ramirez corroborated. We didn't corroborate crap. 848 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 1: People were out of their minds, out of their minds. 849 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,400 Speaker 1: But they cannot admit that they were wrong about him 850 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 1: all along because they were willing to be bad people, 851 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 1: because they were so devoted to his destruction, and to 852 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,399 Speaker 1: admit that they're wrong now would be you were bad 853 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 1: people without any justification really whatsoever. As you can tell, 854 00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh thing pushes some buttons. It gets me upset 855 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,840 Speaker 1: because it's terrible and the people in the media that 856 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: were involved in this process and the Democrats involved this 857 00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 1: process are disgusting. I don't disagree with them, they are disgusting. 858 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: We'll get us slightly less less buck point of view 859 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 1: on this later on in the show. But I want 860 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: to move on to Iran and Saudi Arabia, and I 861 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 1: mean there's a whole bunch of other topics I want 862 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 1: to talk about it too. I got a little fired 863 00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,040 Speaker 1: up today. We will be right. See This's what happens 864 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 1: when I take calls, I lose, I lose my sense 865 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 1: of time, and we go we lose. Yeah, no more 866 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: calls for a while. We'll be right back, mister President. 867 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,720 Speaker 1: As you know, I have never engaged in hateful rhetoric 868 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: against you or your family, and I never will. But 869 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 1: you're offering our military assets to the dictator of Saudi 870 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,920 Speaker 1: Arabia to use as he sees fit is a betrayal 871 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 1: of my brothers and sisters in uniform who are ready 872 00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 1: to give our lives for our country, not for the 873 00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 1: islam as dictator of Saudi Arabia. And for you to 874 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,640 Speaker 1: think that you can pimp out our proud servicemen and 875 00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 1: women to the Prince of Saudi Arabia is disgraceful and 876 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 1: it once again shows that you are unfit to serve 877 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: as our commander in chief. You know, sometimes I think 878 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: Tulsa Gabbard is substantially less awful than the other Democrat candidates. 879 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,120 Speaker 1: This is not one of those times. When did the 880 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,359 Speaker 1: president ever say that we were going to hand over 881 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,799 Speaker 1: troops to the dictator of Saudi Arabia to do with 882 00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 1: as he sees fit. I mean, this is just this 883 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 1: is hyperbolic garbage. This isn't reality. Here's what should happen, 884 00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,480 Speaker 1: or here's a bit of a backstory. We'll spend more 885 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 1: time with this, but the sun we got to run 886 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,719 Speaker 1: to a break here in a second. What's happening in 887 00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:48,840 Speaker 1: the Middle East right now is a war between Sunni 888 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: and Shia Islam. It's playing out in many different Middle 889 00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: Eastern Muslim majority countries. It's playing out in Syria, in 890 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: Iraq between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and it's playing out 891 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,240 Speaker 1: in Yemen. It's playing out and you name a major 892 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 1: player in the region. There are issues between Sunni and Shia. 893 00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 1: And this goes back for to say centuries doesn't even 894 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 1: cover It goes back for oh going on fifteen hundred 895 00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 1: years now, since the original Sunni Shia split. We and 896 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, I hope is going to take this approach. 897 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,600 Speaker 1: We care about this insofar as we do not want 898 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,240 Speaker 1: this to be our problem. This is not our fight. 899 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:38,799 Speaker 1: We do not want to get involved. But we also 900 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 1: don't want the Iranians to be able to bring the 901 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:46,439 Speaker 1: global economy to not a screeching halt, but to really 902 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:52,000 Speaker 1: put a dent in it by attacking oil supplies. And 903 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,920 Speaker 1: that's a concern, what should we do about that? Then 904 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 1: how do we balance this out. I we'll get into 905 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,560 Speaker 1: some of those specifics and some thoughts on the way 906 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,080 Speaker 1: forward and the strategy here between Iran and Saudi Arabia 907 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 1: in just a moment. We need to have a conversation 908 00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 1: as a country and as a Congress about whether or 909 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 1: not this is an attack so directly relevant to America's 910 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 1: interest as to justify military action. Diplomatic action is what's 911 00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,240 Speaker 1: called for first, and our president should come to Congress 912 00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 1: and make that case if he is determined that this 913 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,320 Speaker 1: is what calls for military action. And we have to 914 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 1: be very cautious about the way that we move forward. 915 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's why it's important for Congress to 916 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: be able to investigate and take the lead on whether 917 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: it makes sense for us to engage. It's really important 918 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 1: for us to remember this is our intelligence is war 919 00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:57,799 Speaker 1: tainted towards Iran. Take military advice from Ilhan Omar. I'll 920 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,040 Speaker 1: start there. I don't think I'm going to listen to 921 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 1: what she thinks is the right move here. If I 922 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 1: want to know how America is bad and we do 923 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: all the bad things in the world, will then I'll 924 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: listen to I'll hunt on more. And then we also 925 00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 1: had the Democrat there was it, Chris Coons. You didn't 926 00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 1: have a conversation as a country. Yeah, dude, that's right. 927 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 1: That's what we're doing. We're having a conversation as a country. 928 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 1: I think conversations actually much more straightforward than Democrats want 929 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: to accept. That it is we don't want to war. 930 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,279 Speaker 1: The run that, no, we don't want to war. A 931 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 1: lot of people right now. What I mean by this is, 932 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,520 Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to war with North Korea either, 933 00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 1: but if North Korea blows a couple of you know, 934 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 1: US airliners out of the sky or something, or if 935 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: North Korea attacks US interest in well, then we got 936 00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 1: a war with North Korea. Right. It doesn't just say 937 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 1: we don't want a war with someone doesn't mean that. 938 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: Well now they now they have you know, an open field. 939 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,680 Speaker 1: It's open season on America because we said we don't 940 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 1: want to war with that country. This is all about 941 00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:02,879 Speaker 1: the choice of whether or not to fight, or the 942 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,600 Speaker 1: choice of whether we want to start what is going 943 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:09,760 Speaker 1: to be a military conflict that could have unintended consequences 944 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 1: take us much further down the road of nation building 945 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 1: than we would ever want to go again, and all 946 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:21,840 Speaker 1: the rest of it. The conversation right now that Senator 947 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,040 Speaker 1: Coon's is saying we should have I would offer that 948 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: we are having it. And here's where I come down 949 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 1: on this. If the Saudis are and of course we're 950 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,200 Speaker 1: going to be helping them, other allies are going to 951 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,040 Speaker 1: be helping them make sure that they have this lined up, 952 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,160 Speaker 1: it looks like they were cruise missiles. In fact, that's 953 00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,480 Speaker 1: our report today that there were cruise missile components that 954 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 1: were found and that the hoothy militias don't have that capability. 955 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,760 Speaker 1: Oh wait, maybe it's a bad thing that the Obama 956 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 1: deal allowed Iran to continue testing missiles short range missiles. Right, 957 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,719 Speaker 1: maybe that was a bad thing that it didn't touch 958 00:56:55,760 --> 00:57:03,560 Speaker 1: the conventional missile program. But anyway, the Iranians pretending to 959 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,160 Speaker 1: be the Hooties or however you want to you want 960 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:10,720 Speaker 1: to frame it, attacks Saudi Arabia. Guess what. Saudi Arabia 961 00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,440 Speaker 1: has been buying billions and billions of dollars of military 962 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,279 Speaker 1: hardbreak for some time. I remember there was a few 963 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 1: months ago people said, oh, we can't sell the Saudies 964 00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,880 Speaker 1: more munitions. We you know, in Congress wanted to stop 965 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats, and I think Rand Paul is 966 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 1: in there too, probably because I don't always agree with 967 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: Senator Paul, I like him on some stuff. If he'd actually, 968 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 1: I think, be a pretty good president because he just 969 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't ruin things. And that's really all you have to 970 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 1: do these days for a lot of these jobs. Just 971 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: don't ruin, you know, just don't ruin everything. And even 972 00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,439 Speaker 1: if you try to ruin everything, like Deblasio was doing 973 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,520 Speaker 1: here in New York, it's still pretty hard to ruin everything. 974 00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: And I think that the do no harm approach. He 975 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: is a doctor, after all, that Senator Rand Paul has 976 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 1: that that would put us in goodstead. If you're present 977 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 1: anyway as to what we should do here. We've been 978 00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 1: selling the Saudis all these very sophisticated weapon systems. We 979 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: help them maintain and train on these weapon systems. Guess what, 980 00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:10,480 Speaker 1: maybe the Saudi's need to tell the Iranians back off 981 00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 1: with more than just words. And could this, you know, 982 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,560 Speaker 1: spiral into a broader conflict or whatever. Yeah, of course, 983 00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you this, what would our response 984 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: be if we thought that the Iranians had just blown 985 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 1: up a couple of US oil refineries, right, what would 986 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: we would we sit there and be like, well, you know, 987 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:34,959 Speaker 1: let's not get ahead of ourselves. Of course we would. 988 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 1: We would respond militarily, and we absolutely should. The Saudis, 989 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, should absolutely respond militarily to 990 00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 1: Iranian aggression. It should be proportionate, it should be within 991 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 1: the you know, within what would be understood as punitive 992 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: action as opposed to right. I mean, if they if 993 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 1: they fire on some Iranian missile ships or something and 994 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:03,960 Speaker 1: they take them out, that's saying, hey, don't fire missiles 995 00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 1: into our refineries. If they start lobbing missiles into the 996 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 1: center of Tehran, well that's obviously a different situation. So 997 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 1: this stuff happens, Right, we fired missiles at Syria and 998 00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:16,600 Speaker 1: we are not at war with Syria. These things do occur. 999 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:21,800 Speaker 1: I think that we overcomplicate this by assuming that America 1000 00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:23,440 Speaker 1: has to be the one that does the strike. I 1001 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:24,960 Speaker 1: think it would be a mistake if we did it. 1002 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 1: Why we weren't attacked an ally, that is fully you know, 1003 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 1: it's one thing if an allies attack that can't defend itself. 1004 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 1: And now we get into the whole discussion about Kuwait 1005 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 1: and Saddam's invasion, and then we had that huge coalition 1006 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:39,200 Speaker 1: because you know, we wanted that. You know, we want 1007 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,360 Speaker 1: to make sure we kept those Middle East and oil 1008 00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 1: supplies going. We can be a little more leis a 1009 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: fair about geopolitics in the Middle East now, specifically because 1010 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: of fracking and natural gas and America's energy producers, who 1011 00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:04,560 Speaker 1: despite all the nonsense they have been subjected to politically speaking, 1012 01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: and during the Obama administration, all the efforts to make 1013 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 1: it even harder for anyway, they we become an energy 1014 01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 1: superpower that really matters. That's why we can sit here 1015 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 1: and say, all right, maybe the Sadies do something, maybe 1016 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:22,920 Speaker 1: they don't. But the Democrats want to make this sound 1017 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 1: like Trump is a war monger. Oh, he's trying to 1018 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,360 Speaker 1: draw us into another war. You know, we don't have 1019 01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:32,360 Speaker 1: Bolton as a national security advisor. I think his influence 1020 01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,360 Speaker 1: on this president was dramatically overstated anyway, but you would 1021 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 1: assume that that means there's one less hawkish vote, so 1022 01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 1: to speak, not really a vote, just an advisory role. 1023 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 1: But in the White House, we're doing something here, and 1024 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 1: the Iranians are clearly feeling the heat. And one of 1025 01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 1: the ways that if you are a despotic and sclerotic autocracy, 1026 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,160 Speaker 1: one of the things that you do is, okay, well, 1027 01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:05,400 Speaker 1: our economies going, you know, going down the tubes. Let's 1028 01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 1: lash out, let's start some conflict with someone, so that 1029 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 1: that's a possibility here. We shouldn't always assume that the 1030 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:17,480 Speaker 1: Iranians approach everything with a strategy worthy of Tallyrand or 1031 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 1: Metternich or you know whoever, the great geostrategists of their era. 1032 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: They're not geniuses on this stuff. They're very they're actually 1033 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,600 Speaker 1: quite thuggish. The Iranian Guardian Council, the people that make 1034 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 1: the real decisions, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC. 1035 01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,240 Speaker 1: They respond to force, and they use force. That's pretty 1036 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,919 Speaker 1: much where you start with them. In this case, we've 1037 01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 1: been using economic sanctions for a long time, and we 1038 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,200 Speaker 1: want to continue doing so. I think the Trump administration's approach, 1039 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:53,000 Speaker 1: by and large is correct here. I would hope that 1040 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,919 Speaker 1: Trump and you know what, I'm I'm confident that he's 1041 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,080 Speaker 1: not going to get drawn into I can't say I'm sure, 1042 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:00,400 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't do future. I don't predict anything. 1043 01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:02,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I make I make predictions for fun, but 1044 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:06,520 Speaker 1: I don't tell you that I can predict anything. But 1045 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,880 Speaker 1: I think that it is likely that if anything happens here, 1046 01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: it'll be the Saudis that do it, and that will 1047 01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 1: be up to the Saudis. You know, there have been 1048 01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,280 Speaker 1: other wars in the Middle East that we were not 1049 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,440 Speaker 1: involved in, plenty of them, and life went on just 1050 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,120 Speaker 1: fine here in America. The Saudis and the Iranians want 1051 01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:26,439 Speaker 1: to want to duke it out a little bit. We've 1052 01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:30,920 Speaker 1: already sold the Saudis very advanced systems. The Saudis are 1053 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,600 Speaker 1: a very wealthy country. They want to fight it out 1054 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,640 Speaker 1: with the Iranians, you know, Manoamano, that's not our fight. 1055 01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 1: And I think that we have clarity in that. I 1056 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: think that Trump has clarity in that as well. So 1057 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,520 Speaker 1: we'll see if there's any further escalation here could come 1058 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 1: any day. We'll keep watching the story. We'll be right back. 1059 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:54,720 Speaker 1: So team I often have people on the show where 1060 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,720 Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to them about the book that 1061 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,160 Speaker 1: they've written, and I've read it. I didn't have time 1062 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 1: to read this education or Brett Kavanaugh book yet. In fact, 1063 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,240 Speaker 1: I don't even have a copy. I don't know if 1064 01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 1: it's out, maybe it's out today. But I want to 1065 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,640 Speaker 1: bring on somebody who won has been following the Kavanaugh 1066 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 1: story all along from DC and also has in fact 1067 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:17,040 Speaker 1: read this latest Kavanaugh screed. We're joined now by Tiana Lowe. 1068 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:21,920 Speaker 1: She is a commentary writer at the Washington Examiner. Tiana, 1069 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: how's life down in the swamp? You know, it's gross 1070 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 1: and growny as always, but that's that keeps it interesting. Fantastic. 1071 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,080 Speaker 1: Tell me about this book is what are some of 1072 01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 1: the biggest takeaways? Is somebody who read cover to cover 1073 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 1: every page of this New York Times I guess two 1074 01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,919 Speaker 1: New York Times writers that put this education of Brett 1075 01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,120 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh together? What are the big takeaways? What really happens 1076 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 1: in this book? So from just a writing perspective, it's 1077 01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 1: a bit of a frustrating book because there's no index. 1078 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,920 Speaker 1: The way that the story is told is extremely confusing, 1079 01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,920 Speaker 1: so it's hard to figure out what exactly the sourcing 1080 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,480 Speaker 1: on each claim is. But went through and my first 1081 01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: story of the book was trying to figure out, you know, 1082 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 1: all the hoopla over the weekend was that now apparently 1083 01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 1: seven people corroborate this Debbi Ramirez story and all we 1084 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,960 Speaker 1: heard about. If seven people corroborate it, then it must 1085 01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 1: be true. I went through each of the seven and 1086 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,600 Speaker 1: it is as thinly sourced as the original New Yorker 1087 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:23,560 Speaker 1: story was last year. So of the seven, only one 1088 01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,440 Speaker 1: person claims to have heard that Kavanaugh was the person 1089 01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,800 Speaker 1: in the story about Ramirez at the time. And even then, 1090 01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:35,720 Speaker 1: this witness, Keen uphold he only heard about it from 1091 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,120 Speaker 1: someone who he says claimed to be at the party, 1092 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:42,480 Speaker 1: but that person has never come forward, and four people 1093 01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 1: who were at the party at the time issued a 1094 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 1: statement last year that they deny this ever happening at 1095 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,640 Speaker 1: the party. So the ramirest thing it's a bust. Then 1096 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,680 Speaker 1: we have this Max Sire allegation. As you know, Max 1097 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: Styre is a Clinton attorney who defended a President Clinton 1098 01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:03,360 Speaker 1: during the Monica Lewinsky Andandel He went to the FBI, 1099 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 1: but not Chairman Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee, 1100 01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: like three days before the Kavanaugh confirmation, not even the hearing, 1101 01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: claiming that he had seen Kavanaugh exposed himself to a 1102 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 1: female student while he was at Yale. The kicker is 1103 01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 1: that the woman at the center of this story, reportedly 1104 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,080 Speaker 1: denied that this ever happened, so she refused to speak 1105 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 1: about this to the book, but she had multiple friends 1106 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: who said that she had always denied the story of 1107 01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,280 Speaker 1: her happening. And then that brings us to the third story, 1108 01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 1: and that's about Christine blaisie Ford. As always, that was 1109 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,960 Speaker 1: the most troubling allegation from the get go, just both 1110 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,680 Speaker 1: on the severity of the context and also that Christine 1111 01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,960 Speaker 1: blasie Ford seemed fairly sympathetic last year. But this book 1112 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 1: kind of has a story falling apart. So it always 1113 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:53,800 Speaker 1: made sense that the other boys at the party who 1114 01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,080 Speaker 1: were going to be witnesses would deny the story if 1115 01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,640 Speaker 1: they were all friends of Kavanaugh. But her friend Leland 1116 01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 1: kind Or was there, and as you may were call 1117 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,959 Speaker 1: lost year, she just said, I don't remember this party 1118 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,120 Speaker 1: were happening. But now she's doubled down on it and said, 1119 01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: not only do I not remember this party happening, but 1120 01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:10,920 Speaker 1: if she's saying that I'm the one who drove her 1121 01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,680 Speaker 1: there and back, it sounds she had no confidence in 1122 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,920 Speaker 1: the story. So basically, all three of these allegations have 1123 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,840 Speaker 1: kind of fallen apart, And that doesn't mean that I'm 1124 01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,520 Speaker 1: not accusing any of these three women of lying, but 1125 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:28,880 Speaker 1: the evidence is non existent and in some cases exculpatory. 1126 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 1: What do you think these New York Times writers ten 1127 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 1: were what do they think they're adding to our knowledge 1128 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,280 Speaker 1: of this case which was already very very publicly and 1129 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:44,160 Speaker 1: thoroughly adjudicated with the Senate hearings and people the entire 1130 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 1: country was fixated on this for weeks. As somebody who's 1131 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 1: read through the whole thing, what do they think they're 1132 01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 1: adding to this discussion with this new book? So for 1133 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,800 Speaker 1: them personally, I'm not going to try and impugne their 1134 01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,960 Speaker 1: motives because they do make notes that an aw in 1135 01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 1: his professional career has had unimpeachable character. They go to 1136 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 1: great lean I think in their minds, to be fair, 1137 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 1: I think they thought that they could contextualize the story, 1138 01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,480 Speaker 1: which is only strange because that's what we wound up 1139 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,680 Speaker 1: with that really weird New York Times piece wherever was 1140 01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 1: about how Debbie Ramirez was so underprivileged because all she 1141 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:23,400 Speaker 1: had was an above ground swimming pool in southern Connecticut. 1142 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 1: I'm not really sure in the New York Times writers, 1143 01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,040 Speaker 1: I've ever actually met an underprivileged persman but they usually 1144 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:33,440 Speaker 1: don't have access to above ground swimming pools only but 1145 01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 1: on a medicine. I think the people who have clung 1146 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,640 Speaker 1: to this story, I mean, think about it. Since Clarence Thomas, 1147 01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:43,480 Speaker 1: I don't think that the left recognizes a single Republican 1148 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:47,840 Speaker 1: appointed did the Supreme Court as legitimate except for Justice Alito. 1149 01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 1: Think about it, Clarence Thomas, abuser, John Roberts appointed by 1150 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: a president who stole his election with Bush v. Gore, 1151 01:07:56,520 --> 01:08:01,480 Speaker 1: Neil Gorfik, Stolemerick Garlands seat, and now Brett Cavanaugh obviously 1152 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,919 Speaker 1: serial sexual assulter. Right, which is which is more likely 1153 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,280 Speaker 1: with Okham's Razer that every single Republican Supreme Court of pointe, 1154 01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 1: as you said, but one is illegitimate or the Democrats 1155 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:13,160 Speaker 1: are crazy. I mean, you don't have to answer that, 1156 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 1: but I'm asking the question exactly. Well, yeah, I mean, 1157 01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:17,599 Speaker 1: that's that's the thing. I think that And again I'm 1158 01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 1: not the funny thing about the cabin aster in particular. 1159 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,760 Speaker 1: You know a buck, I am from LA. Most of 1160 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,000 Speaker 1: my friends West Hillary voters and I have very civil 1161 01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,680 Speaker 1: discussions and then they're perfectly fine for the most part 1162 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 1: with our political differences. This was the first issue where 1163 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,519 Speaker 1: I heard from friends who had never talked to you 1164 01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,040 Speaker 1: about politics, where they said, is this the new normal? 1165 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 1: Will my brother get accused twenty years down the line 1166 01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:46,559 Speaker 1: of some chick that you know he raped her because 1167 01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 1: he makes it into the public eye somehow. And again, 1168 01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,760 Speaker 1: if you look at the statistics, only two to ten 1169 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,600 Speaker 1: percent of all rape allegations are false, So this is 1170 01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,639 Speaker 1: not a widespread problem. On average, well, ten percent, for example, 1171 01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,360 Speaker 1: would be higher than any other felony crime. So yeah, 1172 01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,639 Speaker 1: but the left is making it a problem. The Left 1173 01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,679 Speaker 1: is making it a problem by trying to publicly ruin 1174 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 1: and destroy a man with zero evidence. And what do 1175 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 1: you think about the credibly accuse mean? This is something 1176 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 1: that we talked a bit about yesterday on the show, 1177 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:23,880 Speaker 1: but this phrase has seeped into the conversation. Credibly accused, 1178 01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:30,160 Speaker 1: if credibly accused, merely means that a woman sounds believable 1179 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,400 Speaker 1: in her tone and demeanor when making an allegation, which 1180 01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,639 Speaker 1: I suppose is the case with Blasi Ford. I can't 1181 01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,280 Speaker 1: even say it's the case with the other two because 1182 01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 1: we didn't see their testimony. That seems to completely upend 1183 01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:46,360 Speaker 1: evidentiary standards and corroboration for every other allegation of criminal 1184 01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:51,040 Speaker 1: or even just illicit conduct. For I think that's exactly true. 1185 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that it's fair to say her 1186 01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:58,880 Speaker 1: allegation was compelling, but it's not credible. I mean, I 1187 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 1: think that most p bowl, most people, when the politics 1188 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,479 Speaker 1: are pushed aside, can kind of agree that for someone 1189 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: like a Harvey Weinstein, where it is more likely than 1190 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,000 Speaker 1: he was more likely than not guilty of what he's 1191 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,800 Speaker 1: accused of, she deserves to suffer social and professional consequences. 1192 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,120 Speaker 1: I think we saw this since al Franken. I think 1193 01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:19,880 Speaker 1: we saw this with Ray more with Kavanaugh. The thing is, 1194 01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:23,559 Speaker 1: the evidence didn't even come close to reaching that preponderance standard. 1195 01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 1: And I think that if he were completely a political figure, 1196 01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 1: everyone would understand that the West was not based on 1197 01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,600 Speaker 1: the principle of believe all women. It was based on 1198 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:37,120 Speaker 1: the principle of you have the right to voice your accusation, 1199 01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,479 Speaker 1: and we will evaluate it based on the evidence that 1200 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:42,720 Speaker 1: we can find. And again, this does not mean that 1201 01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Christine Blizzyford deserves to be harassed because death threats. She 1202 01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 1: deserves to be able to go back to her old life. 1203 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,680 Speaker 1: She voiced her peace it wasn't proven. Let's move on. 1204 01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:53,680 Speaker 1: But it's the less that wants to relitigate this, and 1205 01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 1: that's why we're back in this circus. Diana Low she 1206 01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 1: read the book, so you don't have to, folks. But 1207 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:02,320 Speaker 1: he's at the Washington Examiner. She's a commentary writer there. 1208 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,960 Speaker 1: Follow her on Twitter at Tiana Lo Tiana great stuff. 1209 01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,400 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us, Thanks for having me. 1210 01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:14,719 Speaker 1: I say, all right, team, we'll be right back. Team. 1211 01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:19,000 Speaker 1: I want to tell you about a back and forth 1212 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:23,640 Speaker 1: that I have with the with the city government here 1213 01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:28,840 Speaker 1: in New York. And this is a tale of bureaucracy, 1214 01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:35,639 Speaker 1: of sloth, of ridiculousness. This is for me now turning 1215 01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:39,439 Speaker 1: into an education and of itself. I thought maybe I 1216 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:46,639 Speaker 1: would be having this kind of conversation with you about 1217 01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:51,559 Speaker 1: me getting my me getting a handgun permit of New 1218 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,759 Speaker 1: York City, which I have not yet started that process, 1219 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:57,920 Speaker 1: but I am. I am very much planning on starting 1220 01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,800 Speaker 1: that process. So I haven't yet gotten any word about that, 1221 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 1: um well, because I haven't started. But I thought that 1222 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 1: we would be talking about, oh my gosh, they make 1223 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:08,960 Speaker 1: me jump through all these hoops. They hate the second 1224 01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:10,840 Speaker 1: of them in here, and that's gonna happen. So well, 1225 01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,200 Speaker 1: I'll give you all those trials and tribulations and you 1226 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,640 Speaker 1: can you can just laugh at how ridiculous it is 1227 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 1: in New York City for all that. But I mentioned 1228 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 1: before that I've had a little bit of noise issue 1229 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: in my new home. I live in what is now 1230 01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,960 Speaker 1: it's it looks like something out of Tokyo. It's a 1231 01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 1: very new building or something out of Hong Kong. You know, 1232 01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:34,000 Speaker 1: it's just it's just brand new. It's very tall, zero 1233 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:36,560 Speaker 1: character or anything like that. And I used to be 1234 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,040 Speaker 1: somebody who was like, oh wow, I like a building. 1235 01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: I like to live in buildings down in the village 1236 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,679 Speaker 1: where there are red bricks that have just enough space 1237 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 1: in them for various you know, furry small creatures and 1238 01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 1: things to get in and out of the apartment. You know. 1239 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:54,639 Speaker 1: That was my That was my old standard of I'm 1240 01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:56,200 Speaker 1: a I'm a city dog. This is just what I 1241 01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,280 Speaker 1: deal with. But now there's time around. I'm living in 1242 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:02,840 Speaker 1: this brand new building and and it's it's not I 1243 01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,080 Speaker 1: will say, it's not an issue with the building yet. Um, 1244 01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:08,320 Speaker 1: it's an issue with the buildings around it, some of 1245 01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 1: which are very old and I'm kind of high up. 1246 01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:17,559 Speaker 1: And so there are these these various HVAC systems. They 1247 01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:21,160 Speaker 1: look like, you know, the giant fans essentially fans that 1248 01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:22,800 Speaker 1: are you know, look like they're like eight or ten 1249 01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 1: feet across, that are on the tops of these city buildings. 1250 01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,439 Speaker 1: And some of these buildings are twenty or thirty stories tall, 1251 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,600 Speaker 1: and they have these h vacs and it just, you know, 1252 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 1: makes all this noise. Okay, So I figured I figured 1253 01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,479 Speaker 1: out one of them had a broken belt, and I 1254 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:40,679 Speaker 1: got I helped them. I'm a good neighbor. I helped 1255 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 1: them figure out that it was a broken belt and 1256 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,040 Speaker 1: we got that fixed. It is making a very loud, 1257 01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 1: screech noise. But then there's another one. There's another one 1258 01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,160 Speaker 1: that just happens to be just big and loud. And 1259 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:56,360 Speaker 1: there are in fact, and I know I'm a little 1260 01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 1: bit of a persnickety neighbor, but there are noise ordinances 1261 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:04,360 Speaker 1: and and I was curious, so I called the department. 1262 01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 1: I know, this is crazy. I call the Department of 1263 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,960 Speaker 1: Environmental Protection in New York City, John, believe it or not, 1264 01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:16,360 Speaker 1: to come and take a noise violation reading. They have 1265 01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:21,360 Speaker 1: these these uh noisometers. I don't know what they really called. 1266 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,880 Speaker 1: They read the or they they measure the decibels. I 1267 01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 1: like noisometer, but it's it's it's there's some other name 1268 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:29,959 Speaker 1: for it. And they show up with a little noisometer 1269 01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,320 Speaker 1: and it's a little bit like you know Egon from Ghostbusters, 1270 01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,680 Speaker 1: like he kind of waves this thing around and you know, 1271 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,920 Speaker 1: Egon your mucus, you know what I mean that that's 1272 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,439 Speaker 1: that's the vibe you get. The guy shows up, very 1273 01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,479 Speaker 1: nice fellow, and they take the reading the apartment, and 1274 01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,880 Speaker 1: sure enough, I'm not crazy, which is always good to know. 1275 01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:52,080 Speaker 1: The ambient noise created by this fan system is so 1276 01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 1: loud that inside my apartment currently is it is a 1277 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:03,040 Speaker 1: noise violation under city code. So I think of myself, Okay, well, one, 1278 01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm not crazy, that's nice. And then two, I gotta 1279 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:06,720 Speaker 1: figure out a way to deal with this now because 1280 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:08,439 Speaker 1: I don't want to walk around all the day. You know, Oh, 1281 01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,439 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make some eggs or I'm gonna I'm gonna 1282 01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:12,320 Speaker 1: try to like write my book or something out here. 1283 01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean around the hole. That's what it sounds like, 1284 01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:18,920 Speaker 1: the whole you know, all day, twenty four hours a day, 1285 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:20,720 Speaker 1: and you could say, Buck, how could you not know? 1286 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:24,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes the fan goes off, go off for twenty thirty 1287 01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 1: forty minutes at a time, and it always comes back on. Obviously, 1288 01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,519 Speaker 1: I saw this apartment when the fan wasn't on right, 1289 01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 1: So I walked in. I'm like, oh, it's it's so quiet. 1290 01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:34,960 Speaker 1: I'll love it. I got a little bit of a view. 1291 01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:36,559 Speaker 1: It's nice. Now I go in there, I'm like, oh, 1292 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:41,200 Speaker 1: I'm back in my apartment. You know, that's the noise, okay, 1293 01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,200 Speaker 1: And so it's I'm trying to make it not like 1294 01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:47,000 Speaker 1: the Telltale hard here, where the noise drives me completely insane, 1295 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,360 Speaker 1: and you know that's a that's a whole other thing. 1296 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,880 Speaker 1: Is that with you know, gently tapping tapping at my 1297 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,880 Speaker 1: chamber door or whatever? Is that the Telltale hard or 1298 01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:59,000 Speaker 1: that mixed both that girl and Poe? Right? Oh? That 1299 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 1: was the was that the oh was I getting? Or 1300 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,599 Speaker 1: the rave? The raven? The crow? Oh my gosh, Buck, 1301 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:08,880 Speaker 1: go back and read your literature. So I was close though, 1302 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:14,439 Speaker 1: Um yeah, so uh the cask of a Montiando. I 1303 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,519 Speaker 1: remember this stuff. This stuff was great. Well, I was 1304 01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 1: back in like junior high so anyway, so I'm trying 1305 01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:21,680 Speaker 1: to figure out what do I do here. I've got 1306 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:23,840 Speaker 1: this city, I got the city inspector, I got Egon. 1307 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:27,000 Speaker 1: We'll call him Egon because he's got the noisometer, which 1308 01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, it looks kind of like a Ghostbuster thing, 1309 01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,479 Speaker 1: although not quite as cool. And he takes the reading. 1310 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, man, this is a this is a violation. 1311 01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 1: This is a and it's it's about it's twenty percent 1312 01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 1: higher than it's supposed to be. That that that's and 1313 01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 1: that's the legal limit for the noise. You can imagine 1314 01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,080 Speaker 1: how loud it is. So I'm not and I'm not 1315 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,640 Speaker 1: being a big baby about this. It's really annoying. So 1316 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 1: so I I go to my my building and I say, hey, 1317 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, can I just move to the other side 1318 01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:51,640 Speaker 1: of the building? You know, can I can I move 1319 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,719 Speaker 1: the other side of the building. And you've got empty apartments? 1320 01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,200 Speaker 1: Let me take one of those. And they say, look 1321 01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 1: so far, and we may have to have a whole 1322 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:01,400 Speaker 1: conversation about the building up here if they're reasonable or not. 1323 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,640 Speaker 1: So far, it seems like they may be reasonable. They 1324 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 1: may let me move to the other side of the building, 1325 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,559 Speaker 1: and they may we'll see, because there's no reason they shouldn't. 1326 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm moving the exact same cost or you know, within 1327 01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,960 Speaker 1: twenty dollars or something, the same cost, department, the whole thing. 1328 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:17,320 Speaker 1: But they said, can we have a copy, you know, 1329 01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:18,840 Speaker 1: can you give us a copy of the report? And 1330 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:20,439 Speaker 1: I said, oh, well, how how hard can that be? 1331 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 1: This guy was just in my apartment. He works for 1332 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 1: the city. The report's probably about you know, eight lines long. 1333 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:29,080 Speaker 1: Sure you know what I foun out today, John about 1334 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:33,080 Speaker 1: the report. I need to file a FOIA request, a 1335 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act request to get this thing. I'm 1336 01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:38,519 Speaker 1: talking to the city government of the phone. I was like, 1337 01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: you guys are kidding, right, Like that's a joke. You're 1338 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,599 Speaker 1: you're you're sitting in front of a computer that has 1339 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:48,840 Speaker 1: information on it that is public information. But that is 1340 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 1: information about my home that I need, but you will 1341 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 1: not give it to me absent a FOYER request. What 1342 01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 1: sense does that? It's it is absolutely public, but or 1343 01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's essentially I think they call it, 1344 01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:04,840 Speaker 1: there's some term for it, but it's it's a it's 1345 01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 1: a city FOIA request, it's an official records request. And 1346 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,680 Speaker 1: you might say, well, buck, okay, maybe it's not that bad. No, No, 1347 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,200 Speaker 1: it is that bad. It takes fourteen days for them 1348 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,920 Speaker 1: to even respond whether or not I can get the records, 1349 01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:18,519 Speaker 1: and then there's a review period. I'm gonna get this 1350 01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:22,320 Speaker 1: stupid record in like three to six months. And I'm 1351 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,960 Speaker 1: asking them like, how is this possible? How does anyone 1352 01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 1: How does anyone who has ever written you know, city 1353 01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 1: statutes or or the the you know, the laws and 1354 01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:34,160 Speaker 1: by buy laws and all that stuff for the city 1355 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:35,479 Speaker 1: in New York? How can anyone think this is a 1356 01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,000 Speaker 1: good idea? But then I realized, Oh, I know what 1357 01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:41,760 Speaker 1: this is. The They just make it as difficult as 1358 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,880 Speaker 1: possible so that people go away. They just make it 1359 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,320 Speaker 1: as hard. Oh, and then there's another little wrinkle here. 1360 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,439 Speaker 1: They're not even sure what will be contained in the 1361 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,759 Speaker 1: report because we could not tell necessarily what the source 1362 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,160 Speaker 1: of the noise was on the first visit by Egon. 1363 01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,320 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm supposed to have Egon or someone who 1364 01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:06,120 Speaker 1: is like Egon come back for a second visit to 1365 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,240 Speaker 1: ensure that we know where the noise is coming from, 1366 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,040 Speaker 1: which might mean that then there has to be a 1367 01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:16,000 Speaker 1: second Foyer request, which might take another two weeks of 1368 01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:20,200 Speaker 1: review and then three months of processing I'm losing my 1369 01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:24,360 Speaker 1: mind over here. How is this possible? What's the point 1370 01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,960 Speaker 1: of having a noise ordinance when when you you know 1371 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:32,679 Speaker 1: they're in violation, there's a problem. And I my recourse 1372 01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,360 Speaker 1: is to sit around and wait for lazy city employees 1373 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 1: to click on a few things and send me. It's 1374 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,560 Speaker 1: gonna take months. I know city employees. They are overwhelmingly 1375 01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 1: a very very I worked for the city. They're a 1376 01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 1: lazy bunch. Not all of them, but most of them. 1377 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: And here we go, this is this is where we 1378 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 1: we have all these people their jobs. They're the Department 1379 01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,600 Speaker 1: Environmental Protection as a whole unit. Just just to this 1380 01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:01,240 Speaker 1: because people completely you know, they have to vacate their 1381 01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:03,719 Speaker 1: homes because noise in the cities use a constant problem, 1382 01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,439 Speaker 1: which is the cost of living here in the noise 1383 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,400 Speaker 1: are the two things that I wish I could change. 1384 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:09,760 Speaker 1: Other than that, I actually kind of like it here 1385 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,040 Speaker 1: with the cost of livings out of control and the 1386 01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:13,920 Speaker 1: noise is out of control. But you know what this was, 1387 01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:15,400 Speaker 1: and I'm sharing this with you, one just so you 1388 01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:16,840 Speaker 1: can laugh at me, because this is what you get 1389 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,840 Speaker 1: for living in New York City. But two, it's also 1390 01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:21,479 Speaker 1: just a reminder of like this. This is why you 1391 01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:23,920 Speaker 1: don't want the government in charge of things. Every person 1392 01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:26,080 Speaker 1: I spoke to today who worked for the City of 1393 01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:28,479 Speaker 1: New York was like, yeah, I agree. This is stupid. 1394 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: This is a dumb system. I should be able to 1395 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,479 Speaker 1: just print this off and send it to you, or 1396 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 1: I should be able to just email this to you. 1397 01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:38,720 Speaker 1: Why not, You're definitely entitled to it. Oh no, but 1398 01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:43,200 Speaker 1: let's let's delay it by weeks maybe months, and see, 1399 01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, and see then you know how we feel 1400 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:50,160 Speaker 1: about this. It's just madness. It's just madness. But this 1401 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,120 Speaker 1: is why you don't want the government in charge your life. 1402 01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 1: This is why a government of enumerated powers, a government 1403 01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:03,360 Speaker 1: that has to respect certain basic rights and and is 1404 01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,679 Speaker 1: not able to infringe on them. And there's a there's 1405 01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:07,760 Speaker 1: a reason why we have the system we do. It's 1406 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:13,839 Speaker 1: because government is sloth and inefficiency and stupidity, and nobody cares. 1407 01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:17,320 Speaker 1: Nobody cares. The Papa Buck can't get any sleep, Nobody cares. 1408 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:25,519 Speaker 1: This saga will continue, my friends. So there is a 1409 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:29,839 Speaker 1: squeaker of an election right now. It's going on in Israel. 1410 01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 1: It is for the big job is Benjamin and Yaho 1411 01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,760 Speaker 1: Bibi going to come out the victor or what are 1412 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 1: the possibilities here? What could happen? Come may Man dovid 1413 01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:44,000 Speaker 1: Affoon on the line now. He is the editor in 1414 01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,200 Speaker 1: chief of the Alga Miner and he's gonna tell us 1415 01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:51,040 Speaker 1: what's happening, David. Great to have you back, all right, man, 1416 01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,160 Speaker 1: to just just bring us up to speed. What is 1417 01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 1: going on here? Well, look, the only thing we have 1418 01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,639 Speaker 1: right now, okay, so we don't have a final result 1419 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,519 Speaker 1: or late at night would probably be you know, when 1420 01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,280 Speaker 1: everyone wakes up here in America tomorrow morning, we'll see 1421 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:10,280 Speaker 1: what the final results are. The exit polls, you know, 1422 01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:13,439 Speaker 1: give us some idea, but notoriety, and in the past 1423 01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,840 Speaker 1: they have not been precise. They usually take a couple 1424 01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,519 Speaker 1: of seats off of Prime Minister in Naho the Could Party, 1425 01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:26,679 Speaker 1: largely because there are absentee balants included from balancing soldiers 1426 01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:30,360 Speaker 1: and others that are not necessarily taken into account with 1427 01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:33,240 Speaker 1: the exit polls, and they usually vote more for the 1428 01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:36,000 Speaker 1: right wing. In the meantime, you've got these exit polls 1429 01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:39,680 Speaker 1: to show a dead heat, almost a dead heat, and 1430 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,320 Speaker 1: they don't show Naho with his decisive and natural coalition, 1431 01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,519 Speaker 1: which he'd be able to form now. It doesn't mean 1432 01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 1: that he's lost a lot of support from last time, 1433 01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:56,720 Speaker 1: because when the calculations were made last time, there was 1434 01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,600 Speaker 1: they included the party of a big deleeverman who's traditionally 1435 01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:03,720 Speaker 1: seen as part of the right wing block, because that's 1436 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:07,000 Speaker 1: she's shroud the attained. But now he's still to position 1437 01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:10,599 Speaker 1: himself as a kingmaker and he's actually come out ahead, 1438 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,639 Speaker 1: moving from five seats to eight seats. As a result 1439 01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:17,920 Speaker 1: of this election, he's basically driven the whole country through 1440 01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 1: the system again for some gains, for some games, for 1441 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:25,840 Speaker 1: his own coffee, and the gambit seems to have played off, 1442 01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,280 Speaker 1: to be honest. So what do you expect would happen 1443 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,360 Speaker 1: if bb and we've just gotten used to I mean, 1444 01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,400 Speaker 1: how many how many years now has net and Yahoo 1445 01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:36,639 Speaker 1: been been running the show? Uh, It's it's been quite 1446 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:40,840 Speaker 1: a while. So I think Americans, Yeah, longest prime minister, Yeah, 1447 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,160 Speaker 1: longest serving prime minister. So I think Americans like, well, 1448 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, bb BBB understands who the bad guys are 1449 01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,640 Speaker 1: in the Middle East. He's an alive United States and 1450 01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,439 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're gotten comfortable with him in that 1451 01:23:53,680 --> 01:23:55,519 Speaker 1: spot because he's been in it for a long time 1452 01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:58,200 Speaker 1: and things have been relatively quiet and Israel certain of 1453 01:23:58,280 --> 01:23:59,760 Speaker 1: what was certainly compared to what was going on in 1454 01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:03,240 Speaker 1: the two thousands. If BB were to I I know, 1455 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:05,080 Speaker 1: we don't know yet, and you know it's very very tight. 1456 01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 1: If BB were to lose, what would change in Israel 1457 01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:12,120 Speaker 1: and what might change in the US relationship with Israel 1458 01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,080 Speaker 1: or the folks here across the country? You know, how 1459 01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:16,000 Speaker 1: could this affect things that we care about here? But 1460 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:20,599 Speaker 1: first start with on the Israeli side, what might be different? Well, look, 1461 01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:24,760 Speaker 1: there's no question that you know, who is an incredibly 1462 01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,960 Speaker 1: competent leader on a whole host of levels. And you know, 1463 01:24:29,080 --> 01:24:33,599 Speaker 1: his leadership has really brought Israel to the international stage 1464 01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 1: as as a paw player, as a very significant power 1465 01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:42,920 Speaker 1: plan both economically and politically and militarily, and you know 1466 01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:46,639 Speaker 1: that's something that whatever happens, he's going to be remembered 1467 01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:49,679 Speaker 1: for by the Israel And it's why, you know, despite 1468 01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 1: all the shenanigans and the critique in the corruption investigations 1469 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 1: and everything else that's going on there, the israelis still 1470 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,439 Speaker 1: like him because he's good a job. He's really, really, 1471 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:04,439 Speaker 1: really good at the job. Now, his main competitors are 1472 01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:08,240 Speaker 1: the Blue and White Party, you know, even though even 1473 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,120 Speaker 1: if they are neck and neck, they have an even 1474 01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,479 Speaker 1: more unlikely pasthway to forming a coalition. Even though it's 1475 01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,719 Speaker 1: not clear what the others pathway will be, their pathway 1476 01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 1: will be even harder. So it's you know, even if 1477 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,400 Speaker 1: it's a tie, it doesn't necessarily mean that the DV 1478 01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:30,840 Speaker 1: is out by any means. But in terms of the substance, 1479 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:34,120 Speaker 1: there isn't actually a great deal that divides them. It 1480 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,719 Speaker 1: probably has a lot more to do with style. Certainly, 1481 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:42,200 Speaker 1: one thing is for sure. The left in the United States, 1482 01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,080 Speaker 1: for example, the Democratic Party or even the Obama administration, 1483 01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 1: their views on the conflict in the Middle East are 1484 01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:52,240 Speaker 1: not shared at all by very many Israelis, I mean 1485 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:56,880 Speaker 1: their constituency. That sort of perspective and worldview is held 1486 01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,400 Speaker 1: by you know, maybe you know, five seats or five 1487 01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:04,040 Speaker 1: percent of the electric maybe even left. The Blue and 1488 01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:08,320 Speaker 1: White Party, which is Naho's major competitor, holds similar views 1489 01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:14,040 Speaker 1: on negotiations with the Palestinians, on Iranian expansionism, on you know, 1490 01:26:14,200 --> 01:26:17,559 Speaker 1: Israel's right to districts of territories in a lot of cases, 1491 01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:22,479 Speaker 1: you know, so certainly around the settlement block, so you know, 1492 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:27,080 Speaker 1: substantially there isn't a great deal between them, the big differences. 1493 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,040 Speaker 1: You know that we're talking about a political novice, right 1494 01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,000 Speaker 1: Benny Gantz is a capable leader who led at the 1495 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:36,519 Speaker 1: Israeli military, but he's new to the world stage. You know, 1496 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:40,400 Speaker 1: he has not negotiated with Vladimir Putin before, and he 1497 01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:44,680 Speaker 1: doesn't have a long standing relationship with Trump or Bosonaro 1498 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,920 Speaker 1: in Brazil or Modi in the countries that Israel's building 1499 01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,679 Speaker 1: ties with the survive and to floreish and to grow. 1500 01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,760 Speaker 1: So that's been the center point of Naho's campaign. He 1501 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:58,760 Speaker 1: knows that that's his strength over his rival. And you know, 1502 01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,559 Speaker 1: it remains to be seen and how the newcomers are 1503 01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 1: going to affair in that regard. How do you think 1504 01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,880 Speaker 1: the Israelis right now are seeing the situation with Iran 1505 01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:13,840 Speaker 1: and Saudi Arabia. Are the Israelis behind the scenes very 1506 01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:16,960 Speaker 1: supportive of Saudi or are they? What do you think 1507 01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:20,040 Speaker 1: they're then? And now? Who obviously who knows how long 1508 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:21,880 Speaker 1: and how government's going to be what it is right now, 1509 01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,840 Speaker 1: But let's assume it continues as is what is the 1510 01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:28,400 Speaker 1: position of these really government in the in response to 1511 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:30,640 Speaker 1: something like this, I mean, who, who would they what 1512 01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 1: would they like to see done? Look, there's no question 1513 01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:39,760 Speaker 1: now that you know really historically, you know, it's it's 1514 01:27:39,880 --> 01:27:42,439 Speaker 1: historical in terms of how it's unfolded that these rendings 1515 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,880 Speaker 1: in the Saudis and lots of the Saudis, but the 1516 01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:49,000 Speaker 1: sort of more moderate sunny Access have been creeping closer 1517 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:52,720 Speaker 1: and closer together over the last number of years, and 1518 01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,280 Speaker 1: that's sort of being precipitated by the threat from Iran, 1519 01:27:55,320 --> 01:27:58,080 Speaker 1: which is a shared threat now the Asrailis runs and 1520 01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 1: no illusions, they recognize that they and Alliance of Convenience 1521 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:06,599 Speaker 1: and there's certainly skeptical about the long term prospects. Having 1522 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,280 Speaker 1: said that, they do view it as an opportunity, an 1523 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,720 Speaker 1: opportunity to open up dialogue, to work together and to 1524 01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:16,799 Speaker 1: to you know, suffer the harsh nature of those historical 1525 01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:21,920 Speaker 1: harsh nature of that relationship. So you know, I think, uh, 1526 01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, they'll they'll be working together in terms of 1527 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, behind the scenes, whatever we're seeing on, you know, 1528 01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:31,680 Speaker 1: in front of the of the scenes, there's a lot 1529 01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:36,240 Speaker 1: more going on behind the team. And these ratings will 1530 01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:40,759 Speaker 1: be you know, working with intelligence in the Sounding community 1531 01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:45,600 Speaker 1: and across them the least the mutual and share the 1532 01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:49,640 Speaker 1: enemy that looms larger over the entire regions around and 1533 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,360 Speaker 1: whatever they can do together to stem that toright, They're 1534 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:56,840 Speaker 1: going to be doing both covert and and overt and uh, 1535 01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 1: you know, they'll be looking for opportunities to push you 1536 01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,759 Speaker 1: in its fact wherever they can.

Maybe I need to spend more 1553 01:29:57,960 --> 01:29:59,680 Speaker 1: time in Nashville so I know these things. But yes, 1554 01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:04,879 Speaker 1: INDI I will be in at Politic Con in Nashville, 1555 01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,280 Speaker 1: the twenty five twenty over the twenty sixth and twenty 1556 01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:10,439 Speaker 1: seventh in Nashville, Tennessee in October. So I found that 1557 01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:12,920 Speaker 1: out today, So that's exciting. So Nashville's getting crossed off 1558 01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:16,120 Speaker 1: the list, which is great. Austin is next. I really 1559 01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:20,240 Speaker 1: just need some some excuse. So somebody at KLBJ Austin 1560 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,720 Speaker 1: needs to you know, in the audience down there. He's 1561 01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:25,400 Speaker 1: to help me think of an excuse to get the 1562 01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,200 Speaker 1: powers that be to send me down to Austin. Nashville 1563 01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 1: made it happen, Fort Wayne, Indiana has made it happen. 1564 01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:34,800 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and Orange County and you know they've made 1565 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,839 Speaker 1: it happen. Team Buck, Los Angeles, Team Buck, Orange County, 1566 01:30:38,560 --> 01:30:43,560 Speaker 1: Team Buck, Springfield, Illinois has made it happen. So I 1567 01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,240 Speaker 1: need an excuse to go down to Austin. That's what 1568 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:46,840 Speaker 1: I've decided I gotta figure out what it is. We 1569 01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:52,360 Speaker 1: got roll call in a moment, like soft butter on 1570 01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:56,080 Speaker 1: warm toast, Time to spread some freedom coast to coast. 1571 01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:07,479 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. What is soft butter and 1572 01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:11,200 Speaker 1: warm toast have to do with free? This? I didn't 1573 01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,120 Speaker 1: come up with it. What is this? This doesn't even 1574 01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:14,960 Speaker 1: make any sense. I just realized this as we're airing 1575 01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,400 Speaker 1: this across the nation. I guess freedom is easy, like 1576 01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:23,120 Speaker 1: spreading soft butter on warm toast. Like soft butter on warm, 1577 01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:25,240 Speaker 1: so it's easy to spread freedom. I think it's difficult 1578 01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:26,680 Speaker 1: to spread freedom. I think we put a lot of 1579 01:31:26,720 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 1: work into this. That liner was before me. He's getting 1580 01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:32,960 Speaker 1: he's getting a Christmas present this year. I'm sorry that 1581 01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:35,479 Speaker 1: didn't go on here.

So now that we have that team buck 1590 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:06,080 Speaker 1: at iHeartRadio dot com, that is the email address for 1591 01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:08,080 Speaker 1: us if you want to send us. But I also 1592 01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:10,280 Speaker 1: don't want people to stop using Facebook dot com slash 1593 01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:13,439 Speaker 1: buck Sexton. So to that end, we're gonna mix and match, 1594 01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:16,200 Speaker 1: and today we'll get into a little bit more of 1595 01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:19,920 Speaker 1: the Facebook messages because some of you really like that, 1596 01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:25,920 Speaker 1: some of you don't.

This is 1599 01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,759 Speaker 1: something I've been saying for a long time. I'm retired 1600 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:34,880 Speaker 1: military and law enforcement, and I can say without a 1601 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:38,560 Speaker 1: doubt that most in both organizations feel separate from a 1602 01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:40,720 Speaker 1: general population. And we'll do what they're told to do, 1603 01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:46,280 Speaker 1: including forceable confiscation. Every dictator that has ever ruled and 1604 01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:50,360 Speaker 1: oppressed does only with the support of the police. With 1605 01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,760 Speaker 1: police being armed, like the military, people's right to bear 1606 01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,680 Speaker 1: arms in jeopardy, only bad things can happen. Well, yeah, 1607 01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:59,000 Speaker 1: you're taking it further than I was. But you're saying 1608 01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:03,280 Speaker 1: your law enforce and military, yourself or former law enforcement 1609 01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 1: or military. So that's certainly adds some weight to your 1610 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,880 Speaker 1: note here, but I can tell you that there are 1611 01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,639 Speaker 1: I have spoken to cops who just say, yeah, people 1612 01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:15,760 Speaker 1: want to have shotguns for home defense and for going 1613 01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,920 Speaker 1: sporting clay shooting. That's fine. But I've spoken to cops 1614 01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:20,400 Speaker 1: who are like, I don't want people having handguns and 1615 01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 1: I don't want people having semi automatic rifles. I've talked 1616 01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,160 Speaker 1: to them. I'm not making this up. They're out there, 1617 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:30,439 Speaker 1: so you know. I've also spoken to other cops who 1618 01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,640 Speaker 1: volunteer their own time trying to train conceal you know, 1619 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:36,880 Speaker 1: trying to do conceal carry class for people because they 1620 01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:41,320 Speaker 1: want more. They think that the more people who appreciate 1621 01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:46,080 Speaker 1: and utilize their Second Amendment rights, the better. So there's clearly, 1622 01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:49,320 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a I'm just saying that there exists 1623 01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,439 Speaker 1: within law enforcement mentality. I have no way of gauging 1624 01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:57,040 Speaker 1: which is the which would be even the majority. I 1625 01:33:57,160 --> 01:34:00,479 Speaker 1: don't know. I would think that law enforcement now nationally 1626 01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:05,040 Speaker 1: would be more in favor of the of an armed citizenry. 1627 01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:09,160 Speaker 1: But you know, you look at LAPD, NYPD, there are 1628 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,080 Speaker 1: some major urban I mean, the NYPD has about fifty 1629 01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:18,759 Speaker 1: thousand employees over thirty thousand armed and sworn law enforcement, 1630 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:21,240 Speaker 1: So you know that that's a lot. So for those 1631 01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:22,479 Speaker 1: of you who are like well Buck, you know out 1632 01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:26,240 Speaker 1: here and out here in Indiana, you know, law enforcement 1633 01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,960 Speaker 1: is far more favorable to the Second Amendment, that's probably true, 1634 01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:32,519 Speaker 1: But you also have far fewer cops. So you know, 1635 01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:34,439 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I think it would be 1636 01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:39,880 Speaker 1: interesting if we could get some data on this one. Andrea, Right, 1637 01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:47,200 Speaker 1: so there's a traditional Mongolian horn made of human thigh bone. Okay, guys, 1638 01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:53,160 Speaker 1: my trumpet broke. Who's willing to help a fella out? Andrea? 1639 01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:56,439 Speaker 1: Or is it Andrea? Where do we go with? What's 1640 01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:59,679 Speaker 1: the go to? I was talking to your friend reason. 1641 01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:02,560 Speaker 1: I said Tara, and she said, no, it's Tara, And 1642 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:04,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, do we really do? Really? Correct Tara and Tara? 1643 01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that with that name? It's ridiculous, right, 1644 01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:11,799 Speaker 1: isn't that Tomato? Tomato? I mean really, Andrea or Andrea 1645 01:35:12,400 --> 01:35:15,800 Speaker 1: or Andrea could be a man or a woman. Really, 1646 01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:19,120 Speaker 1: you know, you've never had heard of a male Andrea 1647 01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:21,920 Speaker 1: or Andrea. No, I feel like Andrea is the way 1648 01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:26,679 Speaker 1: a man? Andrea? Yes, like Andrea no, really, I feel 1649 01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:29,120 Speaker 1: like I've heard a man be that have that name before. Well, 1650 01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,559 Speaker 1: I've I met a man I've met I've obviously there 1651 01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:36,040 Speaker 1: are men named Leslie, there are men named Ashley Andre 1652 01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:41,519 Speaker 1: uh bam hmm. Okay, that's producer John. Maybe you're all 1653 01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:43,720 Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna get all eight Hanaka presents this year? 1654 01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:45,800 Speaker 1: Maybe yes, you know, with with that kind of skill, 1655 01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:50,400 Speaker 1: we'll see all right back into into the mix here, Richard, 1656 01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:56,040 Speaker 1: uh right, the Democrats started the last well Civil War 1657 01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:58,639 Speaker 1: in your opinion, how long will it take this time? Well, Richard, 1658 01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:01,639 Speaker 1: I I don't you know. Look, I certainly I can't 1659 01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 1: predict I always tell you I can't predict the future. 1660 01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:05,200 Speaker 1: No one can predict the future. But I don't think 1661 01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:08,479 Speaker 1: we're heading heading for that. I certainly would never I 1662 01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:10,519 Speaker 1: would hope that we would never head for that. Again, 1663 01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:14,040 Speaker 1: it's it's almost difficult to read a history of the 1664 01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,200 Speaker 1: Civil War for me sometimes or to go back and 1665 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:20,559 Speaker 1: dive into just because the human carnage and just knowing 1666 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:23,240 Speaker 1: these are all Americans and we're just oh it was, 1667 01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:25,240 Speaker 1: it's just horrifying. But then again, you read the history 1668 01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:26,840 Speaker 1: of the First World War, the Second you know, war, 1669 01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:32,880 Speaker 1: is horrifying, So maybe that's true across the board. James rights, 1670 01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,040 Speaker 1: Hey Bok, listen to Friday's show. I'm surprised by the 1671 01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:40,320 Speaker 1: fact that no one has pointed out Beta O'Rourke Beta 1672 01:36:40,439 --> 01:36:44,000 Speaker 1: O'Rourke rather saying an AR fifteen shot X people and 1673 01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:47,680 Speaker 1: AR fifteen shot. No one Ah, yes, pointing out that 1674 01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:49,320 Speaker 1: this is a tool. Be safe, brother, come on home 1675 01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:52,679 Speaker 1: with your shielder on it. Beta is a shield tosser, 1676 01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:55,360 Speaker 1: if there ever was one. Yes, For those who have 1677 01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:58,080 Speaker 1: not been around the show long enough, we sometimes refer 1678 01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:02,120 Speaker 1: to people as a shield tosser. This was a horrible insult. 1679 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:05,960 Speaker 1: You know, this was like, you know, this was the 1680 01:37:06,040 --> 01:37:09,519 Speaker 1: equivalent of a yo mama joke. Back in the day 1681 01:37:10,680 --> 01:37:14,639 Speaker 1: where the ancient Spartans, the Athenians, if somebody, if somebody 1682 01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:16,759 Speaker 1: was being a coward, you called them a shield tosser. 1683 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:23,200 Speaker 1: Because the armor that in Phalanx warfare, the armor that 1684 01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:29,320 Speaker 1: hop lights the heavily, the heavily bronze clad foot soldiers 1685 01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:34,439 Speaker 1: of ancient Grease, ancient Macedonia. If you were going to 1686 01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:36,599 Speaker 1: run away, guess what you had to toss. You had 1687 01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:39,640 Speaker 1: this big, heavy shield, so you'd throw your shield in 1688 01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:41,240 Speaker 1: the ground and then you actually had a chance of 1689 01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:43,599 Speaker 1: maybe getting away. If you try to run with your shield, 1690 01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,040 Speaker 1: you weren't going to get very far very fast. So 1691 01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:48,599 Speaker 1: that's why a shield tosser is a term for coward 1692 01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,160 Speaker 1: from ancient Greece, and we use it here sometimes on 1693 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:54,880 Speaker 1: the show. Is Beta a shield tosser? I wouldn't want 1694 01:37:54,920 --> 01:37:56,479 Speaker 1: him next to me and the Phalanx, I can tell 1695 01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:59,519 Speaker 1: you that much. Yeah, it's just like I understand why 1696 01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:02,000 Speaker 1: people are stopping me and like stopping you right now, 1697 01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:06,000 Speaker 1: because like if I just took out my guitar, maybe 1698 01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:10,000 Speaker 1: I could convince the spartans like not to try to 1699 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:12,840 Speaker 1: like take all of our stuff and enslave our women 1700 01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:14,800 Speaker 1: and children. Like I could just like talk to them 1701 01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:21,439 Speaker 1: and they would understand we could come together and unify. David, Right, 1702 01:38:21,960 --> 01:38:26,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna take in nineteen forties American military mentality to 1703 01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:30,080 Speaker 1: defeat a country like Iran that is culturally behind the 1704 01:38:30,200 --> 01:38:32,960 Speaker 1: rest of the modernized world. We all know today's political 1705 01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,160 Speaker 1: climate that is improbable. Look at the idiots that have 1706 01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:37,479 Speaker 1: been elected in this country. People actually vote for them. 1707 01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:39,439 Speaker 1: It's crazy to take care of buck Well.

You know, 1719 01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:20,439 Speaker 1: there was zero gratitude from the Middle East really and 1720 01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:22,640 Speaker 1: very little, if any gratitude from the rest of the 1721 01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,280 Speaker 1: world for us trying to make a rock a better place. 1722 01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:28,759 Speaker 1: So just start with that. Afghanistan.

All right, 1770 01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:22,680 Speaker 1: fair enough, Terrence Buck, great show has always but I've 1771 01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:24,679 Speaker 1: got to call you out on a point from today's show. 1772 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,920 Speaker 1: During your bro Cuomo segment, you said people do hum 1773 01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:32,080 Speaker 1: with the sault rifles, just as you avoid undocumented and 1774 01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:34,880 Speaker 1: adhered to illegal because the language does matter. Please keep 1775 01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,559 Speaker 1: a left in check and shoot down the fictitious term 1776 01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:40,519 Speaker 1: assault rifle. There's no such thing. Enough of the negativity. 1777 01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:42,479 Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, shields high. Look, Terrence, I 1778 01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:44,040 Speaker 1: love it, you love the show, and thank you for 1779 01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:47,840 Speaker 1: your good faith message here. But I gotta tell you, man, 1780 01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:52,040 Speaker 1: I keep going through. What am I gonna say? There's 1781 01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:55,479 Speaker 1: a certain class of semi automatic rifles that liberals will 1782 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:58,320 Speaker 1: codify into law and say we're banning them. And it's not. 1783 01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:01,400 Speaker 1: It's not all semi automatic rifles because they are a 1784 01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:04,240 Speaker 1: cosmetic feed. And you could say, but book, that's so stupid, 1785 01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:07,000 Speaker 1: and I say, yes, I know, that's so stupid, but 1786 01:43:07,160 --> 01:43:09,560 Speaker 1: it's what happens. So how do I refer to this 1787 01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:13,400 Speaker 1: thing that they have created. You know, undocumented is a 1788 01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:17,240 Speaker 1: is a nonsense, political, made up political term. It's not 1789 01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,680 Speaker 1: in any way a legal term. If they pass a 1790 01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:23,840 Speaker 1: law that says assault rifles are now banned, and here's 1791 01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:27,439 Speaker 1: a list of ten assault rifles. Those things are then 1792 01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:30,320 Speaker 1: legally classified as assault rifles at least in that state, 1793 01:43:30,439 --> 01:43:32,800 Speaker 1: or if it's federal, then at the federal level that 1794 01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:35,400 Speaker 1: that is the term, right. You know, we could say, oh, 1795 01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:40,639 Speaker 1: but they're actually they're actually you know, freedom pop pop toys, 1796 01:43:41,360 --> 01:43:44,960 Speaker 1: but which actually sounds kind of fun pop pop, freedom 1797 01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:47,840 Speaker 1: pop pop. You know, they may they make a boom noise, 1798 01:43:47,960 --> 01:43:51,160 Speaker 1: that is true. The one thing about shooting that I 1799 01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:53,800 Speaker 1: that I never really I just I don't like super 1800 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,960 Speaker 1: I'm just an a grouchy old man. Producer John. We'll 1801 01:43:57,040 --> 01:43:58,920 Speaker 1: leave producer Mark out of this because he's like, yeah, 1802 01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:02,120 Speaker 1: that's right. I'm a old man and I don't like 1803 01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:05,120 Speaker 1: super loud noises. You know, this is the thing. I 1804 01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:08,280 Speaker 1: had somebody sitting next to me recently at a restaurant 1805 01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:11,479 Speaker 1: who thought that it was okay. And these were adults, 1806 01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:13,920 Speaker 1: These are not little kids, people in their in their 1807 01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:16,519 Speaker 1: forties and fifties. There's like six of them, and they 1808 01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:19,479 Speaker 1: kept showing each other like ha ha, look at this 1809 01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:21,840 Speaker 1: YouTube video that I'm gonna blast on my phone, and 1810 01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:24,519 Speaker 1: showed other people at a restaurant and I sit here, 1811 01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I mean I can play this game too. 1812 01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:27,960 Speaker 1: What if I showed up at a restaurant I said, 1813 01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:29,800 Speaker 1: I like to put a boombox on the table and 1814 01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:33,280 Speaker 1: just blast my favorite, my favorite music from the nineties. 1815 01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:35,880 Speaker 1: You know, I could sit here and I would just 1816 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:42,840 Speaker 1: be playing the Cardigans and the Cranberries as loud as Yeah, 1817 01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:49,000 Speaker 1: that's right, zombie, thombie. I wonder how many people. I 1818 01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,280 Speaker 1: don't think that many people the audience are catching that one. Unlikely, 1819 01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:58,360 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit. They were actually pretty decent, all right, Gina, 1820 01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:05,760 Speaker 1: She's not Mina, She's Gina. Hi again. Bucks and discussing 1821 01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:08,439 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders and the fact that he doesn't get it, 1822 01:45:08,520 --> 01:45:11,439 Speaker 1: I disagree. I fully believe he gets it and is 1823 01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:13,679 Speaker 1: fully aware of all that will happen with complete government 1824 01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:17,200 Speaker 1: control of our lives. The housing thing. He knows that 1825 01:45:17,240 --> 01:45:19,960 Speaker 1: it will result in Ukraine housing Circa nineteen seventy four 1826 01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,639 Speaker 1: projects everywhere where there's only misery and government control. As 1827 01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:26,920 Speaker 1: with healthcare, education, business, diet, drugs, Bernie wants to saul 1828 01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:29,760 Speaker 1: O Lynsky model. He has spent years studying it. It 1829 01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:32,040 Speaker 1: is the endgame. While it may seem ignorant. He may 1830 01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:34,960 Speaker 1: seem ignorant to the costs and stupid. He is not. 1831 01:45:35,280 --> 01:45:37,639 Speaker 1: He just hopes we are shields hid Gina, you could 1832 01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:41,519 Speaker 1: be right. It's very hard to know with libs whether 1833 01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:46,000 Speaker 1: they just don't know or they don't care about what's 1834 01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:49,680 Speaker 1: going to happen with the policies that they want and 1835 01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:53,320 Speaker 1: the realities of the things they advocate for.
