WEBVTT - Corey Crushes Congress 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:16.240 You are entering the freedom hunt. Some fireworks on Capitol Hill. 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:19.239 Corey Lewandowski wasn't gonna take it lying down today when 0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.960 Democrats tried a little show trial action against him. We'll 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.320 talk about that. And also, oh that's right to New 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.880 York Times is doubling down on the bombshell story that 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:32.239 blew up in their face. We'll get into that. And 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:36.000 Iran versus Saudi Arabia is a war on the horizon. 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:37.920 Who got so much more coming up on the buck 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:42.919 Sexton Show. Bucks SEXTONSI decoding the news and disseminating information. 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:49.239 Who is actionable intelligence? Make no mistake American? Great, You're 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.760 a great American again. This is the Bucks Sexton Show. 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.800 The CIA analysts. I can speak for three hours without 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.720 a phone call. Try doing that sometime. It is bucks Sex. No, 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.960 he called the Attorney General to ask him to unrecuse 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.880 himself from the Special Counsel's investigation. Session said no. His 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.880 White House counsel said there should be no contact with 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.480 Session because of his recusal. So what does the president do. 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.720 He calls you in to do what everyone else wouldn't do. 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.080 He called you in to do his dirty work in 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.800 secret because he knew it was wrong. Well, we will 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.000 expose the truth. And President can hot eye behind you 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.720 any longer? If you should be here to be telling 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:38.080 the truth, because the truth will set you the American people. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.560 I ye back time and the general lady has expired. 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.480 The witness may answer the question. I don't believe there 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:46.920 was a question, Congressman, Yes there was. Could you repeat 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:48.639 the question and hear it. I'll be happy to repeat 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:53.000 the just a rant him, just a rant. Welcome to 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:58.280 the buck Sex and show everybody. Tombstone's one of my 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:02.240 favorite movies. Top twenty. I'd say I wouldn't put in 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:03.680 the top ten, but I think it probably makes in 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:08.160 the top twel I've seen it one hundred times. There's 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.200 a really there's a bunch of very very good lines 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.280 in it, right, And one of my favorites is when 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:18.480 Kurt Russell tells the kind of weasily sheriff guy, I 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.800 don't think i'll let you arrest us today, be hand 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.799 remember that, well, Korey Lewandowski, when the Democrats decided to 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.200 go after him today and try to make a scene 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.720 and try to basically stood up there in Capitol Hill 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:37.120 and said to all the assembled Democrats going after him 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:41.000 with everything had. I don't think I'll I'll let you 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.720 arrest arrest me today. You could try to do the 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:49.519 whole You could try to do holding him in contempt, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.000 but I don't think that's gonna work. That they could 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.560 call the sergeant in arms. Technically they could go for it, 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.200 but that would make quite a scene. Here's the real 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:03.160 point of all those folks. It was a total mess today, 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.520 a total mess on Capitol Hill. And I think that 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:11.399 there's a lesson to be learned here. Jerry Nadler, for example, 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.040 got very frustrated at one point by all of this. 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:24.840 Here's here's what Jerry Nadler said. Ever suggests to the 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.880 President or anyone else that you thought your communications with 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.760 him were official White House communications? Congress from the White 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.079 House is directed not. I'd not disclose the substance of 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.960 any discussions with the President of his advisors to protect 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.840 executive branch concientiality. And I recognize this is not my privilege, 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.240 but I am respecting the White House's decision. Let me 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.400 ask you some questions about your relationship with the president 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.280 after he assumed office. How many times does the President 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.160 asked you to meet him in the White House. The 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.960 White House is directed not disclose the substance of discussions. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.800 Did you meet with the President alone in the White 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.320 House in twenty seventeen. I don't know the answer to that. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.560 How many times did he direct you to deliver a 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.920 message to a member of his cabinet? The White House 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.400 is directed not disclose the substance of any discussions. Did 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.680 he ever discuss with you any concerns that he may 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.600 have committed a criminal offense? The White House is directed 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.080 not disclose the substance of any discussions with the President 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.480 or his advisors to protect Executive branch confidentiality. I recognize 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.960 this as not my privilege. I make a point of 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.760 order pursuing to clause to J two one eleven. We 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:25.800 get it, we get enough enough, we get it, we 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.080 get it. That's more or less what the hearing was today. 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.520 That is what was going on at the House Judiciary 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:38.120 Committee hearing with Korey Lewandowski, former UH advisor to Trump 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:44.160 campaign manager for President Trump. And I gotta tell you, 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.920 I think that Korey Lewandowski was taking the right approach here. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.920 The process is the punish with them with the processes, 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.320 the punishment with Democrats. We know this, This is why 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.440 they keep bringing back the same different the same narratives 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.480 at all. But let's have more hearings, Let's have more investigation. Oh, 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.919 the FBI didn't investigate Kavana enough. Now they want a 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.880 new investigation. We'll get to the Kavanaugh stuff. The Special 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.240 Counsel Robert Mueller, he didn't investigate enough around around Trump 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.640 and Russia collusion and an obstruction, And let's have more investigation. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:21.440 There's never enough investigation because it's just harassment, it's undermining. 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:27.160 It's the absence of good faith, the absence of seriousness, 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:33.560 of decency, of worthwhile purpose from these congressional Democrats, just 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:39.640 just needling, going after poking at every person around Trump, 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.880 just trying to do everything that they can to try 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:47.560 to undermine them, rattle them. And so Korey Lundowski was 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.360 just not having it today. It's like I've been told 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.440 by the White House not to answer your a coequal 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.400 branch of government. Take it up with the White House, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.640 Korey Lundowski, all these guys, they've already spoken to the 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.200 Special Counsel that they've been through. How much interrogation is enough? 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.279 You know, what if? What if Congress wanted to have 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:05.880 somebody to call a witness, you know, every day the 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.599 Congress was in session. I mean, is there a point 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.600 at which it's obvious that this is harassment to everybody, 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:16.000 because it should be there right now, Let's have more 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.800 more hearings on impeachment. Let's talk. They have the full 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:23.920 report for Muller. They have the report, and today there 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:28.160 were some moments where you know, they were telling they 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.760 were telling Korey Lewandowski, you know, oh, well, well you 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.719 need to read this, and he just said, I'm I'm 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.800 not gonna read it. I'm not gonna play your game. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.000 I'm not gonna stand here and or sit here. Rather, 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.320 it's not standing. I'm not gonna sit here and just 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.200 jump when you say jump, do whatever you tell me 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:49.159 to do. He's a citizen, he has rights. He doesn't 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:53.200 have to sign up for the humiliation humiliation session that 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:56.479 the Democrats are insisting on. So he stood his ground. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.720 I gotta tell you, I've I've never I've never been 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.360 impressed by Kory Lewandowski before. Now that's not to say 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.400 that I just I've never been impressed by the guy. 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:09.720 I've never heard him say anything particularly insightful. You know, 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.040 I don't know. I also I've interviewen a couple of times. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.280 Nice enough guy, fine, But today I was like, wow, 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:19.080 I kind of understand now why Trump feels the way 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:24.920 he does about Korey Lewandowski. He's a fighter. This is nonsense. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.560 The Democrats don't. The Democrats in Congress don't deserve respect 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.560 when doing the things that they were doing today. Oh, 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.000 read this section of the mull report. It was all 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.440 about just trying to get their their cable news moment. Oh, 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.480 look at that sound bite, really showing us how strong 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:47.720 they are at the resistance. It's not about good government, 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:52.520 it's thought about fixing anything. And in fact, Korey Lewandowski 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:59.440 made that case in conclusion. And it's sad to say 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.040 this country has spent over three years and forty million 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.360 taxpayer dollars on these investigations, and it's now clear that 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.320 the investigation was populated by many Trump haters who had 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.080 their own agenda to take down a duly elected president 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:16.080 of United States. As for actual collusion or conspiracy, there 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.720 was none. What there has been, however, is harassment of 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.800 this president. From the day he won the election. We 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.280 as a nation would be better served if elected officials 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.640 like yourself concentrated your efforts to combat the true crises 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.520 facing our country as opposed to going down rabbit holes 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.840 like this hearing, instead of focusing on petty and personal politics. 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.640 The committee, folks, on solving the challenges of this generation. 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.880 Imagine how many people we could help or how many 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.760 lives we could save. Democrats don't want to do any 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.360 of that stuff. They don't want to try to fix problems. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.200 They want to create more problems for anybody who ever 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:56.240 worked for Donald Trump. They want to drag them through 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:57.880 them all. They want to ruin them. I mean, look 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.720 at look at how the Democrats do their version of 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:08.319 opposition to the Republican Party at this point, their ideas, 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.800 their responses that are supposed to make things better for 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:16.200 the American people, that's all an afterthought. What they really 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.280 want to do is just destroy the other side. It's 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:22.320 just a ferocious hatred for Trump, for anybody who's worked 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.440 for Trump, and they want to humiliate people and they 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.520 want to destroy them if they have no common decency 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.840 whatsoever in this process. And so that's why when krey 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.800 Lewandowski decides that he's going to take the position that 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.760 this is a sham, that the people that are asking 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.360 these questions have no interest in getting to the truth, 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.839 that this isn't about illuminating any subject for the American people, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:51.520 that this is just meant to humiliate someone, to make 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.880 them make their life more difficult, in order to prop 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.040 up the political fortunes of a bunch of status Democrat 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:03.360 loons who are completely consumed with anti Trump hatred. He's 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.840 just not having it. You know, they do this thing 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.080 where they ask him a question, and I guess members 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.440 of Congress because oh, it's in the Congress, and you know, 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:16.240 people really have to treat it like it's this sacred place. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.040 I mean, Congress is full of clowns. Unfortunately, there are 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.960 clowns on the Republican side too, but not as many 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.280 as the Democrats side, but full of clowns. And that's 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.920 really on us. I suppose the American people. We're voting 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.600 for them. So I'm sitting here in New York and 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.400 we're not exactly putting forward the best congressman and congresswoman here. 0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:40.080 I'm coming to you from the place that gave America 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:48.560 elected official AOC. So she's the boss. Apparently, at least 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:53.680 of what one congressional district. So Corey decided that he 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.319 was going to punch back. He was gonna fight back. 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.360 And you could tell Democrats were a little flummixed by this. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.640 They're used to just being able to talk over witnesses, 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.439 you know, oh, the Muller Report, let's talk about more. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.479 They ask questions, they don't want answers. They ask questions 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.280 merely as a form of attack so that they can 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:16.040 then overtalk and override whatever the response was going to be. 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:20.160 And this is, for example, the classic CNN anchor maneuver 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.959 that I used to deal with. Explain to me why 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.000 Donald Trump is racist and worse than Hitler, the CNN 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.960 anchor would ask, and I'd say, well, I think that's 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.520 really a proproblem. But he's worse than Hitler. We all 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.240 know this. Let's have another guest come in and say it. 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:38.520 I mean, that's what the members of Congress do. It's 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.240 like they're all these Democrats are auditioning for, you know, 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.360 a little weekend show at MSNBC or there, or they're 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:50.480 a morning show at CNN or whatever. They're not being 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.840 respectful to Lui Is And it's so funny too. You 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:57.280 see the way that Democrats when when someone like like 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.200 James Coomey is testifying in front of the Congress, or 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.880 or someone like Bob Mullard's home hush tones, thank you 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.880 so much, serve for your service. What you've done is amazing. 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.079 So you're just such a patriot. Now tell us why 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.959 Donald Trump should be destroyed and everybody around him has 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:15.560 betrayed the country. I mean, you know, this is what 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:20.440 they do, and it's so tiresome. And I can imagine 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:25.319 for people that are engaged in what's going on in 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.920 the country and I don't know about politics insofar as 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.800 it affects them and it affects their families and their communities, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:32.719 they've got to look at this and just think, is 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.520 this the best we can do? And if not that 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.200 at least they can look at Corey Lewandowski with the 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.680 line of the day here when Eric Swalwell, who is 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:47.000 just he's a he's just an empty suit, guy's got nothing. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.720 When Swalwell decides to do exactly what all these Democrats 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.760 were doing, just trying to poke at Lewandowski, trying to 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:58.400 make him look bad. Corey for the win, I'm happy 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.079 to have you read a congressman well, why don't you 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.400 want to read it? Mister Lewindowski, I think you should 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.560 afford me the same privilege you afforded Director Muller. Would 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.760 you like to read it? No, you're welcome to read it. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.200 Are you ashamed of the words that you wrote down? 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.640 President Swallowell, I'm very happy of what I've written, But 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.800 you're welcome to read it if you'd like you. Are 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.240 you ashamed to read it out loud? I'm not ashamed 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.040 of anything of my life, Congressman, an't you then? Why 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.880 don't you read the words? Congressman, I've asked and answered 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.920 your questions. Why won't you read the words aloud? I've 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.839 asked and answered your question. Courressman, if you'd like to 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.640 read the words, you're welcome to. Well, you were ashamed 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.400 to read them out loud, and you didn't deliver those 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:37.320 words to the person the president asked you to. President Swallowell, 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.720 I think that's the only time that that guy's going 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.559 to hear that for a very long time. That was 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.880 fun telling him read these words? Do this? Do that? 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.600 What an embarrassment. The embarrassment here is all on the 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:55.000 Democrat side. I'm acting like a bunch of total jerks today, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:14:00.640 all of them no respect, no decency, and by acting 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.679 the way that the Democrats were, they undermine the very 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.120 institution that gives them their authority and their power in 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:11.200 the first place. But there's another lesson here. We don't 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.120 have to just allow the other side to constantly weaponize 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.480 the process against us. We don't have to just be 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:19.240 the ones that say, well, these are the rules, and 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.560 we always play by the rules exactly as written in 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.760 the best spirit possible. So you know, that's what we're 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.840 gonna do. You know, look look at what the Trump administration, 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.920 for example, did during the Muller probe. Gave them you know, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:37.840 no claims of executive privilege during the Muller probe, access 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.880 to every whatever, documents, all this stuff. Did that get 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:46.680 them anything? Was there any good faith that resulted from 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.280 that from the Democrats? No, You give the Democrats something 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.000 out of good faith and they just think that you're weak. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.120 They think that there's an opening. Now. So I like 0:14:55.200 --> 0:15:00.000 the way Lewandowski did it, you know, go Leonitis style. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.240 I'll come and take it. I mean, you know, if 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.560 they want to fight, give them a fight. And this 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.120 should be the way that everybody who goes in front 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.160 of Congress, and they shouldn't just sit there and yes, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.120 yes sir, no sir, yes, ma'am, no, ma'am. They're gonna 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:13.760 make fun of you, they're gonna talk over you, they're 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.760 gonna act in ways that are inappropriate. Make them call 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.800 the sergeant at arms or whatever in the Congress and 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.560 arrest you. Let's see how that goes. We got a 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.560 whole lot more show. By the way, we can take 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.720 some calls because we have Brewster Mark and producer John 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.040 here in studio. So if you want to call in, 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.800 we are live. If you would like to call in today, 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.120 we can screen the calls, we can throw them on air, 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:41.120 we can chat eight four four nine hundred two eight 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:45.440 two five eight four four nine hundred buck. We hope 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.120 that is John is at the right number. We don't 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.040 give it out that often. It's like the secret now, 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:51.960 it's like the formula for Coca Cola. We don't We 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:55.080 don't share it. Eight four four nine hundred two eight 0:15:55.120 --> 0:16:00.960 two five. We will be right back today about your 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.080 favorite football team. I'm not Patriots. Patriots, so you're pretty 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.880 happy right now. Right Tom's a winner. Again. The problem 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.960 we have here is we don't follow procedure because if 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:11.280 it gets in the way of a good story, we 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.040 don't like it. Around here. Tom is a winner. Tom 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.840 Brady gets a shout out from Corey Lewardowski today. You know, 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.440 I saw a video of Rob Gronkowski firing a mini gun. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.360 I'm gonna tell you it made firing a minigun look 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.560 like a lot of fun. It's making the rounds on 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.840 social media. So I didn't know this. So every single 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.200 line lit up right away as soon as we ask 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.240 for calls, so we'll start Apparently people want to call 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.920 in because we got we got calls. Every line's lit 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.280 and we got like seven lines in here. So we 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.600 will take some calls now and after the break two 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:42.400 and then we'll get us some other things. First up, 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:47.440 Matt in Ohio. Hey, Buck, good to talk to you, Budd, 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.680 you too, Man, thanks for calling in. Hey. I wanted 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.920 to bring something up that I have not heard anybody 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.760 since the election of President Trump. Bring up one of 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.239 the best biggest victories. Think he's been able to accomplish 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:06.240 and only he could do this. Two thousand and eight, 0:17:06.800 --> 0:17:12.120 I was changing jobs and my financial adviser told me. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:14.680 I was telling him it seems like we're coming down 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.600 on hard times in two thousand and eight, and he says, yeah, 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.399 but Matt, you have to understand that corporations right now 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:26.320 are record levels, cash rich like never have ever been before. 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.199 The problem is they're hanging on to their money. And 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:34.360 since that year, the government and the Democrats have been 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:38.359 trying to find ways to get the capitalists to release 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:43.199 their money to energize the economy. And President Obama couldn't 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.760 do it in two terms. We got sixty seconds, Matt, 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.480 So we got to get to a point here. Okay, 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.199 The point is President Trump was able to do it. 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.399 He was able to do it by giving them a 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.639 reason to invest back into the country. He made several 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:00.480 maneuvers when he got elected to bring work back into 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.639 the US and keep work here in the US, and 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.200 they had to reinvest to do it. I do remember, Matt, 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.240 thanks for calling from Ohio, my friend. I do remember 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.560 people saying at the end of the Obama last couple 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.960 of years of the obaministration, it was, you know, get 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.880 ready for GDP to not be that great, get ready 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.960 for an economic future that's not going to be what 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.359 it used to be. And then Trump comes in and 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.600 it's like, Oh, of course the economy is booming. Oh, 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.480 it's the Obama economy now, I don't think so. We'll 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.720 take some more calls eight four four nine hundred two 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.560 eight two five eight four four nine hundred, Buck, we'll 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:36.000 light them up. We're live. We'll be right back, all right, 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.920 team lines lit. We're taking some calls, not because we 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:40.920 are live here in New York City. On the Buck 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.280 Section show. We will get to the possibility of a 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.480 war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, hopefully not a war 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.760 between the US and Iran. We'll discuss that. Also, we 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:56.080 got a whole lot more fallout from the Cavanaugh bombshell 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.480 that blew back in the faces of those who thought 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.480 it was going to take down the Supreme Court justice 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.360 or at least further hurt his reputation. We will talk 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.840 about that and then uh, we got some other interesting 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:15.080 things here. Two. Um. But first matta, Oh wait, Charles, 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:19.000 I'm sorry Charles in Massachusetts. Y're up next? Or what's up? Yes? Well, 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.399 the reason I'm calling is because of a lot of 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:27.639 concern about the situation, as you say, in between Saudi 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.840 or Radio and Iran. And the fact is is that 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:35.320 if we get involved with a bombing rage in Iran. 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:38.880 Of course we would have with Russia and China supporting Iran. 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:43.280 And the result is that if we get involved, then 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:46.840 it'll just give the Democrats and everybody a chance to 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:53.440 oppose Trump, and it may very well jeopardize his reelection. 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.800 He's in other words, if we get into a war, 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.160 he's out. This is what I've been hearing. It's a well, 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:00.800 it's a big it's a big risk for him. Look, 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:03.520 it's a big risk for the American people. First and foremost, right, 0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:05.639 we don't want another war. We've had enough of these wars. 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:10.240 But beyond that, the president really broke with the GOP 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:14.920 establishment on foreign policy. That having a muscular foreign policy 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:20.160 where people can't mess with America isn't the same thing as, Okay, 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:23.439 this country's got problems, let's go in to topple the 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:27.000 dictator and try to rebuild this country largely from the 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:29.920 ground up. That's not the same thing. And Trump had 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.520 a different approach, a more non interventionist, which is not 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:38.920 the same as an isolationist, a non interventionist approach to issues, 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.600 particularly in the Middle East. So yeah, if he gets 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.680 drawn into a war, Charles to your point in Massachusetts, 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:46.719 that would be I'm sorry, in the Middle East. You're 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:52.160 in Massachusetts, that would be a betrayal in a sense 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.679 of a major campaign promise. So he can't do that. 0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:57.080 I mean politically, it's a terrible idea, and it's a 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:58.720 bad idea just because it's a war that we shouldn't 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:00.840 be fighting. So I hear man, Charles, thank you for 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:09.080 calling in, Tim in Ohio, double Ohio tonight. What's going on? Tim? Hey, 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.399 that's been gosh a couple of months since I talked 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:18.239 to you last Well, great to have you back, my friend. Hey, listen, uh, 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:21.239 I gotta tell you something. I gotta two clips are 0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.200 Brad Pascal. I was listening out there. But we want 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:26.520 to get the president elected. Okay, So these are just 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.840 my my kind of key ideas that get it gone, 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:34.320 all right. Number one, I've worked for steel workers, but 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:39.919 I worked in manufacturing under middle medical manufacturing, but steel 0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:43.760 workers I know that actually worked for steel production. It's slow. 0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:49.439 And also I'm a I'm a hobby farmer, but I 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:55.320 have a lot of real farmers per se, and I'm saying, hey, 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:58.880 what's a pulse man? You guys pissed off? Because it's 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.440 China deal. You've hissnel to the trade deals. And you 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:05.199 know what, we know Donald Trump's trying to do the 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:10.600 right thing. Giving him time. So here's the deal, though, 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.880 He's got to go into I think, on his next 0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:19.960 couple of trips, go into rust belt areas and tell 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:23.359 them we're turning to get this MCA pushed through, that 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:26.600 everything's going to be better for everybody wants mcass through. 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:31.960 Flip this thing on the Democrats, same in the Democrats 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.159 for not helping out the farmers and the workers and 0:22:35.280 --> 0:22:38.280 manufactures of this country. He's got to start flipping this 0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.879 thing one into areas and purposing on them and one 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.560 of them putting it up, Nancy putting it up for 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.480 a vote. You know what I'm saying. I hear you, man, 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:50.800 Thank you very much, Jim for calling from Ohio. And yes, 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:55.399 I think that there has been a uh how do 0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.280 I put this? There's well, there's certainly been a delusion 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:01.040 on the left for a while and among the Democrats 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.159 that the status quo on trade was good. That's not true. 0:23:04.600 --> 0:23:07.480 Trump is right that the status quo on trade with 0:23:07.640 --> 0:23:11.440 China specifically, but also with some other countries was unacceptable, 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:16.879 needed to be changed, needed to be updated, or needed 0:23:16.880 --> 0:23:20.520 to be dramatically shifted, as we see with China, where 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:24.359 we have these ongoing now this back and forth on 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:31.440 making making a fair deal with China un necessity on 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.080 their end by saying, Okay, if you're gonna play rough, 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:37.399 we're gonna play rough. So I think that there is 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:40.360 some some wisdom in Trump getting he's going to though. 0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:43.120 I mean this to Tim's point. He will be telling 0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:46.160 the American people, and specifically farmers and steel workers, people 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:49.720 that have been directly affected by the tariffs, by the 0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.080 trade war, which called a trade war seems a little 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.879 extreme given how small a component of our economy is 0:23:55.920 --> 0:23:58.159 and how limited has been up to this point. But 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:02.360 let's say the trade mute that is playing out via tariffs. 0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:06.160 Trump will make the case that this was short term 0:24:06.200 --> 0:24:11.200 pain for long term gain, and that ultimately he's doing 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:13.600 what we always say we want politicians to do. We 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:16.200 want politicians to lead, we want them to make tough 0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.680 choices that need to be made. Right. That's what he's 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:23.679 doing on China. And is he gonna win? I hope so. 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.480 But he is doing something the right thing to do. Yeah, 0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:31.480 I think that's true as well. James and Boston. What's 0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:37.359 going on? James and Boston. Hello, Buck, Hey buddy, before 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:41.760 it gets lost, shield tie shield tie love love the show. 0:24:42.119 --> 0:24:45.760 Thank you, thank you so much, pleasure. Thanks thanks for 0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:47.920 taking the call. And I know that I know that 0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.560 the audience has split on taking calls and not, but 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:54.680 I appreciate you taking minds. Uh, taxes in two quick 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:57.560 very more, two more quick points. If I may, if 0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:00.520 I can, I'll be very efficient. I know you're a 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:03.800 student of history, very clear, You're You're terrific. You're you're 0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:08.560 the future talk radio, the president also, but definitely the future. Um. 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:10.760 The income tax is not what we think it is. 0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.920 It dates back to eighteen sixty two. It's an exercise tax. 0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:16.760 You can research it if I may give a website, 0:25:18.440 --> 0:25:24.360 Lost horizons dot com. Okay, and uh, if you if 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:27.320 you'll do the research, you'll find out that it's only 0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:33.679 people exercising federal privilege who owed federal income tax. I 0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.600 don't want to get you know, overly complex, but for 0:25:35.640 --> 0:25:37.640 those that are interesting, I hope you do it yourself 0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:39.960 because I know you'd love to stop paying taxes and 0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:41.680 you can do it lawfully. I've been studying this for 0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:45.479 three years. I've filed. I cannot recommend anybody try this, 0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:48.960 be honest with you. I'm pretty sure that oh gosh, 0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:53.000 you cameber the guy's name now. But there's a there's 0:25:53.040 --> 0:25:54.600 a finance guy that I used to do some work 0:25:54.600 --> 0:25:56.800 with back the day at the Blaze, and his dad 0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:58.320 tried this and they send him to prison for a 0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.280 long time. So I would not recommend this. Well, Buck, 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:04.080 what I'm saying is, don't do it. Research it, Okay, 0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:06.840 research it comfortable, then you can do it. To two 0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:08.800 more quick points. Don't be comfortable with it as from 0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.080 I'm telling you, but go ahead, I'll be, I'll be, 0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:15.240 I'll be real fast. I first interacted with you on Facebook, 0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:17.920 and I'm the guy that, yes, can correct your celiac. 0:26:18.000 --> 0:26:19.639 I won't go any further, but I can do that, 0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:23.080 all right. And last point and last point, uh, And 0:26:23.080 --> 0:26:25.679 I've been I've had the tools. This is what is 0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:28.399 my mission of life is helping people heal. Last point 0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.040 is the second Amendment. Talk to some of your friends 0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:34.040 who've commanded troops in the military. If the government's coming 0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:38.000 after us, they're not come with them with them for it. 0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.200 They're gonna come with Abrahams. They're gonna come with a 0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:45.320 Patchrie helicopters eight tens. So the right to bear arms, 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:48.800 we would need to turn back Tyranny. We'd need Stinger milions, 0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:50.960 we'd need javelin men. I'm not sure that's true either, 0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:53.200 But James, I do appreciate your colm words about the show. 0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:57.639 Thanks very much for calling in. Um all right, you 0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:02.440 know we we we open up the lines. If he 0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:05.880 could cure Celiac disease, he should be a billionaire. And 0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:08.040 if we need Stinger missiles, I need to know why 0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:11.919 we can't pacify Afghanistan. They don't. I mean they have 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:14.200 like one hundred Stinger missiles that don't work anymore because 0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:17.800 the batteries are dead. But you know, yeah, I don't know. 0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:20.439 Should we do one more? Should we do it? You 0:27:20.480 --> 0:27:22.080 know what? I think we're gonna get back to the show. 0:27:22.560 --> 0:27:26.159 I think we're gonna go back through the actual radio 0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:28.240 show here, so a team. When we come back, let's 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.760 discuss where these where the latest is with the New 0:27:30.800 --> 0:27:35.760 York Times debacle, and then also we'll get into some 0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:40.119 of the Iran versus Saudi Arabia situation. So stay with me, 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:45.520 we'll be right back. I think this is sort of 0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:48.439 ground zero for why so many people mistrust the media, 0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:50.480 why the New York Times has the nickname for New 0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:53.840 York slimes with many people in conservative circles. The Times 0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:57.240 actually had to run an editor's note following up, how 0:27:57.280 --> 0:28:00.320 did this vital fact get left out? Okay, thank you 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:02.720 so much for the question. We're eager to clear the 0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:05.120 air on this. First of all, there was no desire 0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:08.280 to withhold important information from our readers. We have all 0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:10.840 of it in the book, and the essay is an 0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.840 adaptation of the book that, of course we had to 0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:18.720 edit for length and clarity. The thrust of the essay 0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:20.960 was about probably a bad word choice. The point of 0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:24.160 the essay was about Deborah Ramirez, a woman who had 0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:28.560 gone to college with Justice Kavanaugh and had this experience 0:28:28.560 --> 0:28:31.399 where she alleged that he exposed himself to her and 0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:33.560 it was a very troubling event, and we lay out 0:28:33.560 --> 0:28:35.840 all the reasons why that was not just the moment itself, 0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.360 but the experience she was having at Yale being very difficult. 0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:42.080 Within that, we talked about this new, as yet unreported 0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:44.280 allegation because we thought it was germane it was a 0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:47.760 similar type of situation to the Ramirez one. During the 0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:51.360 editing process, there was an oversight, and this key detail 0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:54.880 about the fact that the woman herself has told friends 0:28:54.880 --> 0:28:57.160 she doesn't remember it and has not wanted to talk 0:28:57.200 --> 0:29:00.280 about it got cut and it was an oversight and 0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:03.719 the Times adjusted it and we're very sorry that it happened. 0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:11.800 And not buying it. That is bull That is not 0:29:11.920 --> 0:29:16.280 something that you or I should believe for one second, 0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.520 my friends. First of all, if it was an oversight, 0:29:19.080 --> 0:29:22.320 why did it take them over twenty four hours after 0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:25.040 it was published to add that editor's note. If it 0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:26.640 was just if it just got cut in the normal 0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:29.920 editing process. First of all, it takes a very special 0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.680 kind of journalist to think that the way do you 0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:36.560 enhance your journalistic integrity when it has been called into 0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:41.760 questions to say, oh, it was my editor's fault. Oh really, 0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:47.600 it was the editor's fault. That's very interesting because it 0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:51.040 wasn't a little detail. This wasn't a spelling error, this 0:29:51.160 --> 0:29:55.960 wasn't a typo that was that was a naughty word 0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.560 by accident or something you know that can happen that 0:29:58.680 --> 0:30:01.600 then that can be the editor's all right, but this 0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:11.080 was and absolutely critical, essential detail that undermined the entire 0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:16.240 point of the article, which was that, oh, yeah, we 0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:22.640 corroborated Deborah Emirazes allegations against Kavanaugh. And oh, by the way, 0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:28.520 there's this other allegation that seems very similar, and this 0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:32.040 other allegation added to the Debi Ramirez allegation. You know 0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:36.120 that they all remember, they always want multiple accusers because 0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:39.320 multiple accusers feels, at least to the public, like, well, 0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:41.240 there must be some truth to this. Now, even though 0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:43.120 with Kavanaugh there were three accusers and they were all 0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.880 they were all wrong. They were not telling true stories, 0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:50.600 different degrees of crazy in terms of the details, the 0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:55.800 lack of details, the lack of corroboration, and different degrees 0:30:55.800 --> 0:31:00.360 of outlandish. But none of them had credible stories. Remain 0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:03.960 accusers against Kavanaugh. And oh remember it wasn't just three accusers. 0:31:05.680 --> 0:31:11.280 There was also the Kavanaugh raped day woman in a 0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:14.240 boat in Rhode Island accuser that came forward to the Senate. 0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:16.520 You didn't hear about her, You know why, because even 0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:20.760 Senate Democrats knew that's gonna be tough, because he's never 0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:23.360 been to Rhode Island at that point in his life. 0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.280 So if we can't put him in the state, if 0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:28.680 he can say, definitely, I've never been in the state 0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:32.240 of Rhode Island up to the point when this allegedly happened. 0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:36.800 You know, you know, I have never been to Montana. 0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:38.880 So it's pretty easy for me to prove that, like, 0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:43.600 I've never killed anybody in Montana. But there were other people. 0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:46.320 Did she have a right to be believed? The woman 0:31:46.320 --> 0:31:47.880 who claimed that she was raped in a boat in 0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:51.200 Rhode Island, did she have a right to be But no, 0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:52.640 she did not. She had a right to be told 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:57.640 you're lying, go away, And that's what happened. So remember 0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:00.760 that there is such a thing as entire not credible 0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:04.479 and malicious. And oh, by the way, there can be 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:08.560 legal penalties for that if you swear under oath, if 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.880 you swear out a statement against somebody to the police, 0:32:12.280 --> 0:32:17.840 and those legal penalties should be enforced. Perhaps that's a 0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.440 little further down the line here in the conversation. Let's 0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:24.560 get back into the New York Times debacle. So they 0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:32.440 today tried to double down. They were not backing. Okay, 0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.000 I guess they feel like they have no choice. I mean, 0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:37.040 the New York Times, if you are paying attention and 0:32:37.040 --> 0:32:40.440 and you're not a leftist who believes that anything that 0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:45.040 advances the cause of the left is inherently justified, then 0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:47.520 you find yourself saying The New York Times cannot be 0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:50.560 trusted on politically sensitive issues. When I trust the New 0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:53.000 York Times to tell me, you know where I can 0:32:53.040 --> 0:32:56.680 get the best ruben sandwich in New York City, I mean, 0:32:56.720 --> 0:33:00.120 the food stuff that they do is good, and I 0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:02.920 think they probably don't I think they probably don't cheat 0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:05.240 on the weather, although heaven forbid we start talking about 0:33:05.280 --> 0:33:08.400 climate change. You know, there's some utility to the New 0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:10.880 York Times. Some of you are saying, yes for the 0:33:10.880 --> 0:33:13.000 bottom of my bird or a rabbit cage. I mean, 0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:16.440 there are some things you can do with the New 0:33:16.520 --> 0:33:20.160 York Times where the politics don't really matter. But anything 0:33:20.200 --> 0:33:23.920 that is even remotely politically sensitive and then includes the 0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:27.960 arts book review, you know, you name it. It is 0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:33.360 a left wing propaganda machine, full stop. And that was 0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:37.840 what you saw yesterday with the this claim of an oversight. Ooh, 0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:40.280 in the editing process, we just happened to miss this 0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:42.840 absolutely essential detail. You know what else they seem to 0:33:42.920 --> 0:33:45.560 leave out of that essay? Which comes up in the book. 0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:48.360 And by the way, will be joined by Tiana Lowe, 0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:51.240 who's really an up and coming star reporter over at 0:33:51.280 --> 0:33:55.840 the writer over at the Washington Examiner. You know what, 0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:58.960 She's done research on this and she read through the 0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:00.560 whole book, so she'll join us to tell us what 0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:02.920 we need to know about the education of Brett Kavanaugh. 0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:11.560 Leland Kaiser was the best friend of Christine blasi Ford 0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:16.960 and Leland Kaiser according to this book that just came out, 0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:18.520 and they didn't want to focus on this part of 0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:20.440 the story, but this is information. I believe this was 0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:23.439 already out there a bit. And and thank heavens, Molly 0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:26.399 Hemingway who wrote her book before, and Kerry Savorino, who 0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:28.920 wrote their book before this one came out. They've already 0:34:28.960 --> 0:34:30.839 done all the research. And they're the ones who are 0:34:30.920 --> 0:34:32.760 pointing this out. They're the ones who are pointing out 0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:38.920 when these unbelievable lapses in the liberal anti Kavanaugh narrative, 0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:44.440 you know, the unbelievable lapses and omissions of essential fact 0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:49.799 or fabrications even occur. At least Carrie and Molly are 0:34:49.800 --> 0:34:52.359 out there saying, Nope, that's not what happened. Nope, that's 0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:57.240 not true. That's why they had to append that editor's note. 0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:03.040 But Leland kai Or had some there's some very interesting 0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:07.040 things about her situation. One is that she has more 0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:10.160 recently come forward and said that she just did not 0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:14.800 believe does not believe that this happened. This is Christine 0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:17.040 Blasi Ford's best friend who was supposed to be at 0:35:17.080 --> 0:35:22.359 the party, doesn't believe that it happened. And beyond that, 0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:25.759 and this maybe tells us even more, said that she 0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:32.560 was subject to the worst kinds of threats, intimidation, abuse 0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:37.400 in order to lie and back up Christine blasi Ford. 0:35:38.200 --> 0:35:40.640 That's what the left was reduced to here, my friends, 0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:45.160 finding innocent people beyond Kavanaugh saying you better back up 0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:53.359 this woman who's either crazy or lying or else. Radicals 0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:57.120 have a habit, a habit of finding a way to 0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:02.240 justify anything that they want. You will probably be familiar, 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:06.440 I'm sure with the Castro quote. Within the revolution, everything 0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:12.320 against the revolution, nothing. Any time in the Soviet Union 0:36:13.280 --> 0:36:15.880 somebody was to become a target of the state and 0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:17.920 enemy of the state, they would say that the person 0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:21.400 was a counter revolutionary. And that's all you had to say. 0:36:21.440 --> 0:36:24.120 If you were a counter revolutionary, then you were against 0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:30.000 the single most important purpose of life within the Soviet Union, 0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:34.359 which was the revolution itself, the workers paradise that would come, 0:36:34.400 --> 0:36:38.880 the socialist Marxist utopia of the future. How could you, 0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:41.560 how could anything be allowed to stand in the way 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:46.719 of that. When radicals decide something is important enough, then 0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:49.560 they can justify absolutely anything. I bring this up just 0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:55.000 because I do not think it is a stretch at all. 0:36:55.120 --> 0:37:00.040 When you see, when you think about how devoted to 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:07.279 the cause of abortion and Roe v Wade, many particularly 0:37:07.320 --> 0:37:13.040 many women of a certain age roughly you know, the 0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:16.000 Boomers and a gen X and gen y, when you 0:37:16.040 --> 0:37:19.160 see how devoted to abortion they are. They believe it 0:37:19.200 --> 0:37:22.440 is sacred. They believe that they would enter a period 0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:26.680 of virtual enslavement as women if they did not have 0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:29.879 the right to term it a pregnancy at any point 0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:34.160 during the nine months of a pregnancy up to and 0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:39.360 including the day of birth. So when you understand the 0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:43.759 radicalism behind the mentality, then of course someone could justify 0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:48.640 in their own head ruining a man's reputation, lying about 0:37:48.719 --> 0:37:53.360 someone ridiculing him, destroying him in front of the entire country, 0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:57.520 in front of his own family, sure, you may find 0:37:57.600 --> 0:38:01.560 that that's unsavory, might make you uncomfortable, But if you're 0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:06.160 a true revolutionary, if you really believe that a fundamental 0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:11.920 woman's right is on the line, as an abortion radical, 0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:14.560 what would you not be willing to do? What would 0:38:14.600 --> 0:38:17.520 you not be willing to say? We know it came 0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:21.799 out recently that Christine blasi Ford's own lawyer said that 0:38:22.000 --> 0:38:23.920 one of the reasons. Now they would say, oh, it's 0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:26.080 just one of them, but one of the motivations was 0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.279 to protect rov wait, that's why. That's why she felt 0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:31.840 the need to step forward. So there there's no question 0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:35.799 that there was a political motivation that The only outstanding 0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:40.520 issue is was that political motivation so powerful that it 0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:47.680 was used to wipe away any concern, any compunction, any 0:38:47.719 --> 0:38:53.360 hesitation at the most horrific and despicable character assassination of 0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:55.520 a good man that I think any of us can 0:38:55.640 --> 0:39:00.440 can think of it. It was truly heinous. They try 0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:03.080 to do and are still trying to to Kavanaugh and 0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:06.640 the members of the Democrat Congress who are saying that 0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:08.719 they want to impeach Kavanaugh, that they want to have 0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:16.480 a new investigation, even they should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately, 0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:21.360 they are I'm sure not in the least ashamed of themselves, 0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:26.440 because why the most important, the most important thing to 0:39:26.520 --> 0:39:34.200 them is that there is a symbolism here that if 0:39:34.200 --> 0:39:40.440 nothing else, if you are in the Kavanaugh seat, if 0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:42.800 you're the person that the left asides is a threat 0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:46.000 to the agenda, you will go through hell and even 0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:49.120 if you survive, you will be scarred for life by it. 0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:52.600 That's the message that has been sent here. Even though 0:39:52.680 --> 0:39:55.160 Kavanas sits on the Supreme Court, the message that I 0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:57.600 think Justice Roberts, for example, who also sits on the 0:39:57.640 --> 0:40:01.480 Supreme Court, pays very close attention to. He is a waffler, 0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:05.200 he is an institutionalist. He's somebody who does not want 0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:07.440 mean things to be said about him in the press 0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:11.480 and on law campuses all across the country. Don't think 0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:14.680 that the left gets nothing out of all of this. Sure, 0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:17.279 there's a kind of psychotic Catharsis for them, of just 0:40:17.320 --> 0:40:20.000 trying to destroy somebody they disagree with. But it's more 0:40:20.040 --> 0:40:23.880 than that. They have sent a message, and the message 0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:27.560 will resonate and as people consider the possibility of Ruth 0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.920 Bader Ginsburg's seat at some point undetermined in the future 0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:35.440 opening up what has happened here with Kavanaugh, they will 0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:37.439 be willing to replay this. I think they'll be willing 0:40:37.440 --> 0:40:43.160 to go at this again. But to the point about 0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:48.160 hardliners and revolutionaries being willing to do whatever it takes, 0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:51.239 because nothing can be more important than the revolution. I 0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:54.640 just bring you the some of the additional information that 0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:57.640 has come to light now about these two writers who 0:40:57.680 --> 0:40:59.160 put out this book at the New York The New 0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:02.520 York Times writers now are authors of this book, and 0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:08.279 the formidable and wonderful Molly Hemingway is on the case 0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:14.640 once again, and she writes the following. Robin Poel Graben 0:41:14.680 --> 0:41:17.000 and Kate Kelly wrote the much discussed and later corrected 0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:20.800 essay in The New York Times. A New Atlantic published 0:41:20.840 --> 0:41:23.880 adapted excerpt of the book attempts to resurrect Poel, Grayban 0:41:23.960 --> 0:41:27.680 and Kelly's anti Kavanaugh smears, but once again has a 0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:33.080 major error. In a section explaining why they believe the 0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:36.799 accusers despite the lack of evidence, they write that their 0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:40.320 emotional reaction to the claims was that the claims rang true, 0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:44.720 but they get major facts wrong. This is from the book. 0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:48.040 Remember the book that the essay adaptation left out that 0:41:48.120 --> 0:41:54.400 they that the woman has no memory of it, according 0:41:54.400 --> 0:41:56.040 to her friends, and has not gone on the record 0:41:56.040 --> 0:41:58.600 to say that this thing ever occurred. Not Ramira as 0:41:58.640 --> 0:42:03.160 the other the other woman quote using Martha's common sense test. 0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:06.480 The claims of Deborah Ramirez, while not proven by witnesses, 0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:09.839 also ring true to us. Ramirez, who was a Yale 0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:13.120 classmate of Kavanaugh, said he drunkenly thrust his blank at 0:42:13.120 --> 0:42:16.400 her during a party in their freshman year dormitory. The 0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:19.920 people who allegedly witnessed the event, Kavanaugh's friends, Kevin Genda, 0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:24.200 David Todd, and David White, have kept mum about it. 0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:31.680 Kavanaugh has denied it. HM, that's interesting. It's interesting because 0:42:31.680 --> 0:42:36.799 it's not true. It's pretty important, isn't it. The implication 0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:39.440 here is that, well, Kavanaugh's friends who are there, they 0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:43.560 haven't said anything about it. The problem is there was 0:42:43.600 --> 0:42:46.200 the New Yorker article that was the first attempt, the 0:42:46.280 --> 0:42:53.160 first character assassination shot taken in Kavanaugh's direction on the 0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:59.600 Ramirez case, not the Blasi Ford smear, but in that 0:43:00.000 --> 0:43:04.240 regional New Yorker piece remembered by Ronan Pharaoh and Jane Mayer, 0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:08.239 this is what they wrote. So this is already out 0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:10.520 there on the record, has been for a long time. Quote. 0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:14.560 One of the male classmates who Ramirez said egged on 0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:18.600 Kavanaugh denied any memory of the party. I quote, I 0:43:18.640 --> 0:43:21.120 don't think Brett would flash himself to Debbi or anyone 0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:24.000 else for that matter. Asked why he thought Ramirez was 0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:27.160 making the allegation up, he responded, I have no idea. 0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:29.759 The other male classmate who Ramirez said was involved in 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:33.080 the incident commented, I have zero recollection. In a statement, 0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:35.880 two of those male classmates who Ramira's alleged were involved 0:43:35.920 --> 0:43:38.680 in the incident, the wife of a third male student 0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:43.080 she said was involved, and one other classmate, Dan Murphy, 0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:48.160 disputed Ramirez's account of events. Quote. We were the people 0:43:48.239 --> 0:43:51.200 closest to Brett Kavanaugh during his first year at Yale. 0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:53.440 He was a roommate to some of us, and we 0:43:53.520 --> 0:43:56.080 spent a great deal of time with him, including in 0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:59.480 the dorm where this incident allegedly took place. Some of 0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:02.520 us were also friends with Debbie Ramirez during and after 0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:05.279 her time at Yale. We can say with confidence that 0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:08.360 if the incident Debbie alleges ever occurred, we would have 0:44:08.400 --> 0:44:11.719 seen or heard about it, and we did not. The 0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:15.040 behavior she describes to be completely out of character for Brett. 0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:18.280 In addition, some of us knew Debbie long after Yale, 0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:21.840 and she never described this incident until Brett's Supreme Court 0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:25.840 nomination was pending. Editors from The New Yorker contacted some 0:44:25.880 --> 0:44:27.480 of us because we are the people who would know 0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:29.840 the truth, and we told them that we never saw 0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:36.040 or heard about this. Does that sound like keeping mum? 0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:41.200 How could this new book? This ten months of thorough 0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:45.160 research for The New York Times, writers have declared that 0:44:45.160 --> 0:44:47.880 that is the people around Brett, you know, his friends. 0:44:47.920 --> 0:44:49.959 They kept mum about this. They didn't keep mum. They said, 0:44:50.280 --> 0:44:54.200 no way, this is crap. Brett wouldn't do this, This 0:44:54.280 --> 0:44:57.760 didn't happen. We never heard about this. This is a lie. 0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:00.360 I mean, that's not exactly what they said. That's what 0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:05.279 they're saying. Why would she lie? Well, that's why I 0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:10.040 started out with, Well, because she's would you what would 0:45:10.080 --> 0:45:15.880 we say? She's responding to a higher power here. Roe v. Wade. 0:45:17.200 --> 0:45:19.360 Rovie Wade is the revolution in this case. Roe v. 0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.960 Wade is all that really matters to people of a 0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:27.120 certain liberal mindset. Anything that would keep it would be justified. 0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:31.239 I think it's what's even more unfair to Kavanaughs. I 0:45:31.239 --> 0:45:33.319 don't believe Kavanaugh is going to overturn Roe v. Wade. 0:45:33.320 --> 0:45:34.360 I don't think he's going to be a part of that. 0:45:34.400 --> 0:45:37.759 I think Kavanaugh is much less of a doctrinaire right 0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:42.759 winger than many of the the left. Many on the 0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:47.520 left seem to just assume. But because he's not, you know, 0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:52.480 one of the far left activist judges on the Supreme Court, 0:45:53.040 --> 0:45:56.839 he is a target. Isn't that a pretty big though? 0:45:56.880 --> 0:46:00.040 The the that the Friends kept mum, isn't that a 0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:03.879 pretty big error to have? Once again, another error and 0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:06.160 just as we see when they run these fake news 0:46:06.160 --> 0:46:08.360 stories that the media that has to retract and we 0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:14.000 know this is information that is left out or that 0:46:14.040 --> 0:46:17.120 they lie about that would be helpful to the pro 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:21.160 Cavanaugh calls. Once again just like oh yeah, the woman 0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:26.120 that we claim that this guy, Max whatever's name is, 0:46:27.600 --> 0:46:29.520 you want to hear about Max Max Steyer is a 0:46:29.560 --> 0:46:34.920 good governance advocate here here, this guy is. We need business, 0:46:35.080 --> 0:46:39.120 we need nonprofits, we need universities, we need all these 0:46:39.160 --> 0:46:43.800 associations who care about a policy issue, associate of government 0:46:44.040 --> 0:46:47.359 to take some peace of their advocacy and make it 0:46:47.440 --> 0:46:50.160 not about the policy, but make it about the execution, 0:46:50.400 --> 0:46:53.399 and make it about building capacity in our government. Okay, 0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:55.319 let me just jump in right there. Does anybody think 0:46:55.360 --> 0:46:57.760 that a guy that spends spends his time talking about 0:46:57.760 --> 0:47:01.560 building capacity in our government is anything other than a liberal? Okay? 0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:03.000 Can we just can we just get that out there 0:47:03.080 --> 0:47:05.440 right now? Guys a lib? All right, guys, a liberal? 0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:11.279 Start with that. And he did defend the Clintons, and 0:47:11.320 --> 0:47:13.520 they left that I defend Bill Clinton and they left 0:47:13.560 --> 0:47:17.160 that off the essay. Now, you might say, buck, but 0:47:17.239 --> 0:47:20.880 these these errors. They would never do this on purpose 0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:24.719 because it would make them look bad. No, sometimes the 0:47:24.840 --> 0:47:26.960 smear only has to last a few days to have 0:47:26.960 --> 0:47:29.960 the intended effect. People will believe it anyway. You see 0:47:30.000 --> 0:47:33.120 this with Twitter all the time. Some leftist in the 0:47:33.160 --> 0:47:36.880 media will say, oh, you know, there's video of Trump 0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:39.280 taking a bribe, and then they'll say, oh, no, sorry, 0:47:39.280 --> 0:47:41.800 that was that was somebody made that up on a blog. 0:47:41.840 --> 0:47:44.640 And the first tweet gets fifty thousand retweets and the 0:47:44.640 --> 0:47:50.200 second tweet gets five. Still feeds into the perception that 0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:52.440 Trump is corrupt. People will still think, oh, maybe that 0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:56.320 was true. I don't know. I didn't see the other thing. Folks. 0:47:57.200 --> 0:47:59.840 We know what they're doing to Kavanaugh. We figured it 0:47:59.840 --> 0:48:03.480 out out, We've seen it coming all along. Nothing has changed. 0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:08.920 These people are radicals, and they're willing to completely cast 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:13.799 aside any decency, any ethics, in order to destroy a 0:48:13.920 --> 0:48:16.920 man that even the authors of this book said, after 0:48:17.120 --> 0:48:21.200 college and I don't even know if I have the 0:48:21.239 --> 0:48:26.720 time to get into this, but after college he was Okay, 0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:34.320 here we go twenty We have found that we corroborate 0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:37.160 these stories of Debrah Ramirez and Christine Blasi Ford. But 0:48:37.239 --> 0:48:39.880 in the thirty six years since, Bret Cavanaugh has been 0:48:39.880 --> 0:48:42.719 a better man. You know, whether he realized the error 0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:45.840 of his ways, whether and he consciously reformed himself or 0:48:45.880 --> 0:48:48.680 he grew up and simply matured. He has been an 0:48:48.680 --> 0:48:52.320 exemplary judge. Everyone we talked to couldn't speak more highly 0:48:52.320 --> 0:48:54.400 of him on both sides of the aisle. And he 0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:57.200 actually has a much more nuanced view kind of position 0:48:57.239 --> 0:48:59.200 on the court. He's not a right wing idealogue either. 0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:02.280 He's actually in a st aublishment conservative who has promoted 0:49:02.280 --> 0:49:05.560 women on the court. So that's something else I want 0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:12.920 to So what's more likely that psychotic leftists in the media, 0:49:12.960 --> 0:49:16.200 which the media is full of psychotic leftists, have created 0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:18.520 this whole series of lies and propped out these lies 0:49:18.560 --> 0:49:22.720 about Kavanaugh, who then without anyone, without ever getting in trouble, 0:49:22.760 --> 0:49:24.880 without ever having anybody say hey, you can't do that, 0:49:24.920 --> 0:49:26.640 when he was a you know, a man in high school, 0:49:26.640 --> 0:49:31.440 in college, becomes an absolute exemplar of good behavior, becomes 0:49:31.440 --> 0:49:34.680 the guy that you want coaching your daughter's basketball team, 0:49:34.960 --> 0:49:38.080 living next door to you, teaching Sunday school, and is 0:49:38.200 --> 0:49:42.080 brilliant and is wildly successful. What's more likely that he 0:49:42.200 --> 0:49:45.440 just randomly became that guy after being the crazy grabby 0:49:45.800 --> 0:49:50.040 want to be rapist flasher man through high school and college, 0:49:51.440 --> 0:49:54.160 or that these leftists are lying don't let the whole 0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:56.840 oh we're being fairedom lives do this in the media 0:49:56.920 --> 0:49:58.680 all the time. They throw out a little this is 0:49:58.719 --> 0:50:01.680 the Jake Tapper maneuver. One one real question and then 0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:04.359 ninety bits of prop ninety questions of propaganda. But oh 0:50:04.400 --> 0:50:07.520 I asked a real question. Oh yeah, sure, as an adult, 0:50:07.600 --> 0:50:09.680 he's been like the most amazing human being ever. But 0:50:09.880 --> 0:50:12.520 you know, must have been that he turned it all 0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:14.600 around after what he did in high school and college. 0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:18.200 Oh wait, no, I have a different idea, Libs, you're 0:50:18.320 --> 0:50:23.400 lying about this. Man corroborated, Ramirez corroborated. We didn't corroborate crap. 0:50:24.560 --> 0:50:27.880 People were out of their minds, out of their minds. 0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:31.400 But they cannot admit that they were wrong about him 0:50:31.440 --> 0:50:34.360 all along because they were willing to be bad people, 0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:38.440 because they were so devoted to his destruction, and to 0:50:38.520 --> 0:50:40.399 admit that they're wrong now would be you were bad 0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:46.040 people without any justification really whatsoever. As you can tell, 0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:50.480 the Kavanaugh thing pushes some buttons. It gets me upset 0:50:50.960 --> 0:50:53.840 because it's terrible and the people in the media that 0:50:53.840 --> 0:50:55.759 were involved in this process and the Democrats involved this 0:50:55.880 --> 0:51:01.440 process are disgusting. I don't disagree with them, they are disgusting. 0:51:03.719 --> 0:51:11.319 We'll get us slightly less less buck point of view 0:51:11.400 --> 0:51:13.600 on this later on in the show. But I want 0:51:13.600 --> 0:51:15.560 to move on to Iran and Saudi Arabia, and I 0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:17.000 mean there's a whole bunch of other topics I want 0:51:17.000 --> 0:51:18.200 to talk about it too. I got a little fired 0:51:18.280 --> 0:51:20.040 up today. We will be right. See This's what happens 0:51:20.040 --> 0:51:22.000 when I take calls, I lose, I lose my sense 0:51:22.040 --> 0:51:24.680 of time, and we go we lose. Yeah, no more 0:51:24.719 --> 0:51:31.120 calls for a while. We'll be right back, mister President. 0:51:31.160 --> 0:51:33.720 As you know, I have never engaged in hateful rhetoric 0:51:33.800 --> 0:51:38.440 against you or your family, and I never will. But 0:51:38.600 --> 0:51:42.400 you're offering our military assets to the dictator of Saudi 0:51:42.440 --> 0:51:45.920 Arabia to use as he sees fit is a betrayal 0:51:46.000 --> 0:51:48.960 of my brothers and sisters in uniform who are ready 0:51:49.000 --> 0:51:53.160 to give our lives for our country, not for the 0:51:53.239 --> 0:51:56.520 islam as dictator of Saudi Arabia. And for you to 0:51:56.600 --> 0:51:59.640 think that you can pimp out our proud servicemen and 0:51:59.680 --> 0:52:03.920 women to the Prince of Saudi Arabia is disgraceful and 0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:07.600 it once again shows that you are unfit to serve 0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:11.000 as our commander in chief. You know, sometimes I think 0:52:11.040 --> 0:52:18.000 Tulsa Gabbard is substantially less awful than the other Democrat candidates. 0:52:19.840 --> 0:52:22.120 This is not one of those times. When did the 0:52:22.160 --> 0:52:24.359 president ever say that we were going to hand over 0:52:24.400 --> 0:52:26.799 troops to the dictator of Saudi Arabia to do with 0:52:26.960 --> 0:52:30.160 as he sees fit. I mean, this is just this 0:52:30.239 --> 0:52:35.600 is hyperbolic garbage. This isn't reality. Here's what should happen, 0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:38.480 or here's a bit of a backstory. We'll spend more 0:52:38.480 --> 0:52:42.239 time with this, but the sun we got to run 0:52:42.280 --> 0:52:44.719 to a break here in a second. What's happening in 0:52:44.760 --> 0:52:48.840 the Middle East right now is a war between Sunni 0:52:48.880 --> 0:52:54.040 and Shia Islam. It's playing out in many different Middle 0:52:54.080 --> 0:52:57.680 Eastern Muslim majority countries. It's playing out in Syria, in 0:52:57.880 --> 0:53:02.520 Iraq between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and it's playing out 0:53:02.520 --> 0:53:06.240 in Yemen. It's playing out and you name a major 0:53:06.320 --> 0:53:11.000 player in the region. There are issues between Sunni and Shia. 0:53:11.320 --> 0:53:15.120 And this goes back for to say centuries doesn't even 0:53:15.120 --> 0:53:18.880 cover It goes back for oh going on fifteen hundred 0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:26.920 years now, since the original Sunni Shia split. We and 0:53:26.960 --> 0:53:29.600 the Trump administration, I hope is going to take this approach. 0:53:29.960 --> 0:53:32.600 We care about this insofar as we do not want 0:53:32.640 --> 0:53:36.240 this to be our problem. This is not our fight. 0:53:37.160 --> 0:53:38.799 We do not want to get involved. But we also 0:53:38.840 --> 0:53:41.680 don't want the Iranians to be able to bring the 0:53:41.760 --> 0:53:46.439 global economy to not a screeching halt, but to really 0:53:46.480 --> 0:53:52.000 put a dent in it by attacking oil supplies. And 0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:55.920 that's a concern, what should we do about that? Then 0:53:55.960 --> 0:53:59.239 how do we balance this out. I we'll get into 0:53:59.280 --> 0:54:02.560 some of those specifics and some thoughts on the way 0:54:02.600 --> 0:54:05.080 forward and the strategy here between Iran and Saudi Arabia 0:54:05.120 --> 0:54:10.759 in just a moment. We need to have a conversation 0:54:11.120 --> 0:54:13.520 as a country and as a Congress about whether or 0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:17.080 not this is an attack so directly relevant to America's 0:54:17.080 --> 0:54:21.200 interest as to justify military action. Diplomatic action is what's 0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:24.240 called for first, and our president should come to Congress 0:54:24.280 --> 0:54:27.000 and make that case if he is determined that this 0:54:27.080 --> 0:54:30.320 is what calls for military action. And we have to 0:54:30.760 --> 0:54:34.840 be very cautious about the way that we move forward. 0:54:34.880 --> 0:54:38.200 And I think that's why it's important for Congress to 0:54:38.280 --> 0:54:41.520 be able to investigate and take the lead on whether 0:54:41.600 --> 0:54:45.200 it makes sense for us to engage. It's really important 0:54:45.200 --> 0:54:49.640 for us to remember this is our intelligence is war 0:54:50.520 --> 0:54:57.799 tainted towards Iran. Take military advice from Ilhan Omar. I'll 0:54:57.840 --> 0:55:00.040 start there. I don't think I'm going to listen to 0:55:00.160 --> 0:55:04.000 what she thinks is the right move here. If I 0:55:04.040 --> 0:55:06.719 want to know how America is bad and we do 0:55:06.760 --> 0:55:08.080 all the bad things in the world, will then I'll 0:55:08.120 --> 0:55:09.520 listen to I'll hunt on more. And then we also 0:55:09.600 --> 0:55:13.080 had the Democrat there was it, Chris Coons. You didn't 0:55:13.080 --> 0:55:15.239 have a conversation as a country. Yeah, dude, that's right. 0:55:15.280 --> 0:55:17.480 That's what we're doing. We're having a conversation as a country. 0:55:17.960 --> 0:55:21.279 I think conversations actually much more straightforward than Democrats want 0:55:21.320 --> 0:55:25.680 to accept. That it is we don't want to war. 0:55:25.760 --> 0:55:28.279 The run that, no, we don't want to war. A 0:55:28.320 --> 0:55:30.440 lot of people right now. What I mean by this is, 0:55:31.760 --> 0:55:34.520 you know, we don't want to war with North Korea either, 0:55:35.080 --> 0:55:38.880 but if North Korea blows a couple of you know, 0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:41.239 US airliners out of the sky or something, or if 0:55:41.280 --> 0:55:43.520 North Korea attacks US interest in well, then we got 0:55:43.600 --> 0:55:45.719 a war with North Korea. Right. It doesn't just say 0:55:45.760 --> 0:55:48.040 we don't want a war with someone doesn't mean that. 0:55:48.200 --> 0:55:51.200 Well now they now they have you know, an open field. 0:55:51.200 --> 0:55:53.680 It's open season on America because we said we don't 0:55:53.680 --> 0:55:56.960 want to war with that country. This is all about 0:55:57.000 --> 0:56:02.879 the choice of whether or not to fight, or the 0:56:02.960 --> 0:56:05.600 choice of whether we want to start what is going 0:56:05.640 --> 0:56:09.760 to be a military conflict that could have unintended consequences 0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:14.360 take us much further down the road of nation building 0:56:14.400 --> 0:56:16.440 than we would ever want to go again, and all 0:56:16.440 --> 0:56:21.840 the rest of it. The conversation right now that Senator 0:56:21.880 --> 0:56:24.040 Coon's is saying we should have I would offer that 0:56:24.560 --> 0:56:26.600 we are having it. And here's where I come down 0:56:26.640 --> 0:56:31.640 on this. If the Saudis are and of course we're 0:56:31.640 --> 0:56:33.200 going to be helping them, other allies are going to 0:56:33.239 --> 0:56:36.040 be helping them make sure that they have this lined up, 0:56:36.080 --> 0:56:38.160 it looks like they were cruise missiles. In fact, that's 0:56:38.200 --> 0:56:40.480 our report today that there were cruise missile components that 0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:45.239 were found and that the hoothy militias don't have that capability. 0:56:45.280 --> 0:56:47.760 Oh wait, maybe it's a bad thing that the Obama 0:56:47.840 --> 0:56:53.560 deal allowed Iran to continue testing missiles short range missiles. Right, 0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:55.719 maybe that was a bad thing that it didn't touch 0:56:55.760 --> 0:57:03.560 the conventional missile program. But anyway, the Iranians pretending to 0:57:03.560 --> 0:57:06.160 be the Hooties or however you want to you want 0:57:06.200 --> 0:57:10.720 to frame it, attacks Saudi Arabia. Guess what. Saudi Arabia 0:57:10.760 --> 0:57:13.440 has been buying billions and billions of dollars of military 0:57:13.520 --> 0:57:15.279 hardbreak for some time. I remember there was a few 0:57:15.320 --> 0:57:19.040 months ago people said, oh, we can't sell the Saudies 0:57:19.240 --> 0:57:22.880 more munitions. We you know, in Congress wanted to stop 0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:24.960 you know, the Democrats, and I think Rand Paul is 0:57:25.000 --> 0:57:26.920 in there too, probably because I don't always agree with 0:57:26.960 --> 0:57:30.080 Senator Paul, I like him on some stuff. If he'd actually, 0:57:30.120 --> 0:57:31.680 I think, be a pretty good president because he just 0:57:31.680 --> 0:57:34.320 wouldn't ruin things. And that's really all you have to 0:57:34.360 --> 0:57:35.960 do these days for a lot of these jobs. Just 0:57:36.000 --> 0:57:39.080 don't ruin, you know, just don't ruin everything. And even 0:57:39.080 --> 0:57:41.439 if you try to ruin everything, like Deblasio was doing 0:57:41.480 --> 0:57:44.520 here in New York, it's still pretty hard to ruin everything. 0:57:45.560 --> 0:57:47.960 And I think that the do no harm approach. He 0:57:48.040 --> 0:57:50.520 is a doctor, after all, that Senator Rand Paul has 0:57:51.360 --> 0:57:53.560 that that would put us in goodstead. If you're present 0:57:53.560 --> 0:57:56.720 anyway as to what we should do here. We've been 0:57:56.720 --> 0:58:01.640 selling the Saudis all these very sophisticated weapon systems. We 0:58:01.800 --> 0:58:05.000 help them maintain and train on these weapon systems. Guess what, 0:58:05.760 --> 0:58:10.480 maybe the Saudi's need to tell the Iranians back off 0:58:10.600 --> 0:58:15.400 with more than just words. And could this, you know, 0:58:15.480 --> 0:58:18.560 spiral into a broader conflict or whatever. Yeah, of course, 0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:21.760 But I gotta tell you this, what would our response 0:58:21.840 --> 0:58:24.960 be if we thought that the Iranians had just blown 0:58:25.080 --> 0:58:30.320 up a couple of US oil refineries, right, what would 0:58:30.320 --> 0:58:32.160 we would we sit there and be like, well, you know, 0:58:33.160 --> 0:58:34.959 let's not get ahead of ourselves. Of course we would. 0:58:34.960 --> 0:58:39.600 We would respond militarily, and we absolutely should. The Saudis, 0:58:39.920 --> 0:58:43.120 as far as I'm concerned, should absolutely respond militarily to 0:58:43.200 --> 0:58:48.120 Iranian aggression. It should be proportionate, it should be within 0:58:48.200 --> 0:58:53.200 the you know, within what would be understood as punitive 0:58:53.240 --> 0:58:56.600 action as opposed to right. I mean, if they if 0:58:56.600 --> 0:58:59.600 they fire on some Iranian missile ships or something and 0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:03.960 they take them out, that's saying, hey, don't fire missiles 0:59:04.000 --> 0:59:07.360 into our refineries. If they start lobbing missiles into the 0:59:07.360 --> 0:59:10.360 center of Tehran, well that's obviously a different situation. So 0:59:10.800 --> 0:59:13.520 this stuff happens, Right, we fired missiles at Syria and 0:59:13.560 --> 0:59:16.600 we are not at war with Syria. These things do occur. 0:59:18.880 --> 0:59:21.800 I think that we overcomplicate this by assuming that America 0:59:21.840 --> 0:59:23.440 has to be the one that does the strike. I 0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:24.960 think it would be a mistake if we did it. 0:59:25.040 --> 0:59:29.680 Why we weren't attacked an ally, that is fully you know, 0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:32.320 it's one thing if an allies attack that can't defend itself. 0:59:32.320 --> 0:59:34.320 And now we get into the whole discussion about Kuwait 0:59:34.400 --> 0:59:37.520 and Saddam's invasion, and then we had that huge coalition 0:59:37.560 --> 0:59:39.200 because you know, we wanted that. You know, we want 0:59:39.240 --> 0:59:41.360 to make sure we kept those Middle East and oil 0:59:41.400 --> 0:59:45.160 supplies going. We can be a little more leis a 0:59:45.320 --> 0:59:49.720 fair about geopolitics in the Middle East now, specifically because 0:59:51.200 --> 0:59:58.000 of fracking and natural gas and America's energy producers, who 0:59:58.080 --> 1:00:04.560 despite all the nonsense they have been subjected to politically speaking, 1:00:04.640 --> 1:00:07.600 and during the Obama administration, all the efforts to make 1:00:07.640 --> 1:00:10.040 it even harder for anyway, they we become an energy 1:00:10.080 --> 1:00:16.400 superpower that really matters. That's why we can sit here 1:00:16.440 --> 1:00:18.000 and say, all right, maybe the Sadies do something, maybe 1:00:18.000 --> 1:00:22.920 they don't. But the Democrats want to make this sound 1:00:23.040 --> 1:00:25.360 like Trump is a war monger. Oh, he's trying to 1:00:25.440 --> 1:00:29.360 draw us into another war. You know, we don't have 1:00:29.400 --> 1:00:32.360 Bolton as a national security advisor. I think his influence 1:00:32.400 --> 1:00:36.360 on this president was dramatically overstated anyway, but you would 1:00:36.400 --> 1:00:40.360 assume that that means there's one less hawkish vote, so 1:00:40.480 --> 1:00:43.000 to speak, not really a vote, just an advisory role. 1:00:43.000 --> 1:00:46.280 But in the White House, we're doing something here, and 1:00:46.360 --> 1:00:50.160 the Iranians are clearly feeling the heat. And one of 1:00:50.200 --> 1:00:56.920 the ways that if you are a despotic and sclerotic autocracy, 1:00:57.800 --> 1:01:00.160 one of the things that you do is, okay, well, 1:01:00.160 --> 1:01:05.400 our economies going, you know, going down the tubes. Let's 1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:08.240 lash out, let's start some conflict with someone, so that 1:01:08.360 --> 1:01:10.760 that's a possibility here. We shouldn't always assume that the 1:01:10.800 --> 1:01:17.480 Iranians approach everything with a strategy worthy of Tallyrand or 1:01:17.560 --> 1:01:21.480 Metternich or you know whoever, the great geostrategists of their era. 1:01:22.840 --> 1:01:26.080 They're not geniuses on this stuff. They're very they're actually 1:01:26.160 --> 1:01:29.600 quite thuggish. The Iranian Guardian Council, the people that make 1:01:29.640 --> 1:01:33.040 the real decisions, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC. 1:01:34.960 --> 1:01:38.240 They respond to force, and they use force. That's pretty 1:01:38.320 --> 1:01:41.919 much where you start with them. In this case, we've 1:01:41.920 --> 1:01:45.520 been using economic sanctions for a long time, and we 1:01:45.680 --> 1:01:48.200 want to continue doing so. I think the Trump administration's approach, 1:01:48.240 --> 1:01:53.000 by and large is correct here. I would hope that 1:01:53.120 --> 1:01:55.919 Trump and you know what, I'm I'm confident that he's 1:01:55.920 --> 1:01:58.080 not going to get drawn into I can't say I'm sure, 1:01:58.120 --> 1:02:00.400 and you know, I don't do future. I don't predict anything. 1:02:00.440 --> 1:02:02.400 I mean, I make I make predictions for fun, but 1:02:02.440 --> 1:02:06.520 I don't tell you that I can predict anything. But 1:02:07.280 --> 1:02:09.880 I think that it is likely that if anything happens here, 1:02:09.880 --> 1:02:12.080 it'll be the Saudis that do it, and that will 1:02:12.120 --> 1:02:14.880 be up to the Saudis. You know, there have been 1:02:14.880 --> 1:02:16.280 other wars in the Middle East that we were not 1:02:16.320 --> 1:02:19.440 involved in, plenty of them, and life went on just 1:02:19.560 --> 1:02:23.120 fine here in America. The Saudis and the Iranians want 1:02:23.120 --> 1:02:26.439 to want to duke it out a little bit. We've 1:02:26.440 --> 1:02:30.920 already sold the Saudis very advanced systems. The Saudis are 1:02:30.920 --> 1:02:33.600 a very wealthy country. They want to fight it out 1:02:33.640 --> 1:02:37.640 with the Iranians, you know, Manoamano, that's not our fight. 1:02:38.040 --> 1:02:39.520 And I think that we have clarity in that. I 1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:41.360 think that Trump has clarity in that as well. So 1:02:41.760 --> 1:02:44.520 we'll see if there's any further escalation here could come 1:02:44.560 --> 1:02:47.560 any day. We'll keep watching the story. We'll be right back. 1:02:51.280 --> 1:02:54.720 So team I often have people on the show where 1:02:55.040 --> 1:02:56.720 I'm going to talk to them about the book that 1:02:56.760 --> 1:02:59.160 they've written, and I've read it. I didn't have time 1:02:59.200 --> 1:03:01.840 to read this education or Brett Kavanaugh book yet. In fact, 1:03:01.880 --> 1:03:03.240 I don't even have a copy. I don't know if 1:03:03.240 --> 1:03:05.400 it's out, maybe it's out today. But I want to 1:03:05.400 --> 1:03:07.640 bring on somebody who won has been following the Kavanaugh 1:03:07.640 --> 1:03:10.800 story all along from DC and also has in fact 1:03:11.000 --> 1:03:17.040 read this latest Kavanaugh screed. We're joined now by Tiana Lowe. 1:03:17.160 --> 1:03:21.920 She is a commentary writer at the Washington Examiner. Tiana, 1:03:21.960 --> 1:03:26.120 how's life down in the swamp? You know, it's gross 1:03:26.120 --> 1:03:29.160 and growny as always, but that's that keeps it interesting. Fantastic. 1:03:29.200 --> 1:03:32.080 Tell me about this book is what are some of 1:03:32.120 --> 1:03:34.680 the biggest takeaways? Is somebody who read cover to cover 1:03:34.880 --> 1:03:37.880 every page of this New York Times I guess two 1:03:37.920 --> 1:03:40.919 New York Times writers that put this education of Brett 1:03:40.960 --> 1:03:44.120 Kavanaugh together? What are the big takeaways? What really happens 1:03:44.120 --> 1:03:48.720 in this book? So from just a writing perspective, it's 1:03:48.720 --> 1:03:51.080 a bit of a frustrating book because there's no index. 1:03:51.760 --> 1:03:54.920 The way that the story is told is extremely confusing, 1:03:54.960 --> 1:03:57.920 so it's hard to figure out what exactly the sourcing 1:03:57.920 --> 1:04:01.480 on each claim is. But went through and my first 1:04:01.480 --> 1:04:03.560 story of the book was trying to figure out, you know, 1:04:03.960 --> 1:04:06.320 all the hoopla over the weekend was that now apparently 1:04:06.360 --> 1:04:10.160 seven people corroborate this Debbi Ramirez story and all we 1:04:10.240 --> 1:04:12.960 heard about. If seven people corroborate it, then it must 1:04:12.960 --> 1:04:15.880 be true. I went through each of the seven and 1:04:16.280 --> 1:04:19.600 it is as thinly sourced as the original New Yorker 1:04:19.720 --> 1:04:23.560 story was last year. So of the seven, only one 1:04:23.720 --> 1:04:27.440 person claims to have heard that Kavanaugh was the person 1:04:27.480 --> 1:04:30.800 in the story about Ramirez at the time. And even then, 1:04:31.720 --> 1:04:35.720 this witness, Keen uphold he only heard about it from 1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:38.120 someone who he says claimed to be at the party, 1:04:38.440 --> 1:04:42.480 but that person has never come forward, and four people 1:04:42.520 --> 1:04:45.160 who were at the party at the time issued a 1:04:45.160 --> 1:04:48.280 statement last year that they deny this ever happening at 1:04:48.280 --> 1:04:51.640 the party. So the ramirest thing it's a bust. Then 1:04:51.680 --> 1:04:54.680 we have this Max Sire allegation. As you know, Max 1:04:54.800 --> 1:04:58.560 Styre is a Clinton attorney who defended a President Clinton 1:04:58.680 --> 1:05:03.360 during the Monica Lewinsky Andandel He went to the FBI, 1:05:03.640 --> 1:05:07.240 but not Chairman Chuck Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee, 1:05:08.120 --> 1:05:14.000 like three days before the Kavanaugh confirmation, not even the hearing, 1:05:14.560 --> 1:05:19.360 claiming that he had seen Kavanaugh exposed himself to a 1:05:19.400 --> 1:05:21.920 female student while he was at Yale. The kicker is 1:05:21.960 --> 1:05:26.800 that the woman at the center of this story, reportedly 1:05:26.880 --> 1:05:30.080 denied that this ever happened, so she refused to speak 1:05:30.080 --> 1:05:32.680 about this to the book, but she had multiple friends 1:05:32.680 --> 1:05:35.320 who said that she had always denied the story of 1:05:35.320 --> 1:05:38.280 her happening. And then that brings us to the third story, 1:05:38.320 --> 1:05:40.760 and that's about Christine blaisie Ford. As always, that was 1:05:40.800 --> 1:05:42.960 the most troubling allegation from the get go, just both 1:05:43.000 --> 1:05:45.680 on the severity of the context and also that Christine 1:05:45.680 --> 1:05:48.960 blasie Ford seemed fairly sympathetic last year. But this book 1:05:49.040 --> 1:05:52.080 kind of has a story falling apart. So it always 1:05:52.120 --> 1:05:53.800 made sense that the other boys at the party who 1:05:53.840 --> 1:05:57.080 were going to be witnesses would deny the story if 1:05:57.080 --> 1:05:59.640 they were all friends of Kavanaugh. But her friend Leland 1:05:59.680 --> 1:06:01.600 kind Or was there, and as you may were call 1:06:01.680 --> 1:06:03.959 lost year, she just said, I don't remember this party 1:06:04.040 --> 1:06:07.120 were happening. But now she's doubled down on it and said, 1:06:07.160 --> 1:06:09.120 not only do I not remember this party happening, but 1:06:09.160 --> 1:06:10.920 if she's saying that I'm the one who drove her 1:06:10.920 --> 1:06:14.680 there and back, it sounds she had no confidence in 1:06:14.720 --> 1:06:17.920 the story. So basically, all three of these allegations have 1:06:18.160 --> 1:06:20.840 kind of fallen apart, And that doesn't mean that I'm 1:06:20.840 --> 1:06:24.520 not accusing any of these three women of lying, but 1:06:24.680 --> 1:06:28.880 the evidence is non existent and in some cases exculpatory. 1:06:29.360 --> 1:06:31.400 What do you think these New York Times writers ten 1:06:31.520 --> 1:06:36.640 were what do they think they're adding to our knowledge 1:06:36.760 --> 1:06:40.280 of this case which was already very very publicly and 1:06:40.720 --> 1:06:44.160 thoroughly adjudicated with the Senate hearings and people the entire 1:06:44.200 --> 1:06:48.040 country was fixated on this for weeks. As somebody who's 1:06:48.080 --> 1:06:50.600 read through the whole thing, what do they think they're 1:06:50.640 --> 1:06:55.160 adding to this discussion with this new book? So for 1:06:55.280 --> 1:06:57.800 them personally, I'm not going to try and impugne their 1:06:57.840 --> 1:07:00.960 motives because they do make notes that an aw in 1:07:01.000 --> 1:07:05.600 his professional career has had unimpeachable character. They go to 1:07:05.720 --> 1:07:07.760 great lean I think in their minds, to be fair, 1:07:08.080 --> 1:07:11.840 I think they thought that they could contextualize the story, 1:07:12.360 --> 1:07:14.480 which is only strange because that's what we wound up 1:07:14.480 --> 1:07:16.680 with that really weird New York Times piece wherever was 1:07:16.720 --> 1:07:19.520 about how Debbie Ramirez was so underprivileged because all she 1:07:19.640 --> 1:07:23.400 had was an above ground swimming pool in southern Connecticut. 1:07:23.760 --> 1:07:26.360 I'm not really sure in the New York Times writers, 1:07:26.440 --> 1:07:29.040 I've ever actually met an underprivileged persman but they usually 1:07:29.080 --> 1:07:33.440 don't have access to above ground swimming pools only but 1:07:33.600 --> 1:07:35.920 on a medicine. I think the people who have clung 1:07:35.960 --> 1:07:39.640 to this story, I mean, think about it. Since Clarence Thomas, 1:07:39.880 --> 1:07:43.480 I don't think that the left recognizes a single Republican 1:07:43.520 --> 1:07:47.840 appointed did the Supreme Court as legitimate except for Justice Alito. 1:07:48.080 --> 1:07:52.360 Think about it, Clarence Thomas, abuser, John Roberts appointed by 1:07:52.360 --> 1:07:55.080 a president who stole his election with Bush v. Gore, 1:07:56.520 --> 1:08:01.480 Neil Gorfik, Stolemerick Garlands seat, and now Brett Cavanaugh obviously 1:08:01.640 --> 1:08:04.919 serial sexual assulter. Right, which is which is more likely 1:08:05.000 --> 1:08:08.280 with Okham's Razer that every single Republican Supreme Court of pointe, 1:08:08.360 --> 1:08:11.480 as you said, but one is illegitimate or the Democrats 1:08:11.520 --> 1:08:13.160 are crazy. I mean, you don't have to answer that, 1:08:13.240 --> 1:08:15.600 but I'm asking the question exactly. Well, yeah, I mean, 1:08:15.680 --> 1:08:17.599 that's that's the thing. I think that And again I'm 1:08:17.640 --> 1:08:21.120 not the funny thing about the cabin aster in particular. 1:08:21.240 --> 1:08:23.760 You know a buck, I am from LA. Most of 1:08:23.840 --> 1:08:27.000 my friends West Hillary voters and I have very civil 1:08:27.080 --> 1:08:29.680 discussions and then they're perfectly fine for the most part 1:08:29.720 --> 1:08:33.559 with our political differences. This was the first issue where 1:08:33.600 --> 1:08:35.519 I heard from friends who had never talked to you 1:08:35.600 --> 1:08:39.040 about politics, where they said, is this the new normal? 1:08:39.360 --> 1:08:43.120 Will my brother get accused twenty years down the line 1:08:43.320 --> 1:08:46.559 of some chick that you know he raped her because 1:08:46.920 --> 1:08:49.559 he makes it into the public eye somehow. And again, 1:08:49.640 --> 1:08:52.760 if you look at the statistics, only two to ten 1:08:52.840 --> 1:08:56.600 percent of all rape allegations are false, So this is 1:08:56.720 --> 1:09:00.639 not a widespread problem. On average, well, ten percent, for example, 1:09:00.680 --> 1:09:03.360 would be higher than any other felony crime. So yeah, 1:09:03.439 --> 1:09:06.639 but the left is making it a problem. The Left 1:09:06.760 --> 1:09:09.679 is making it a problem by trying to publicly ruin 1:09:09.880 --> 1:09:13.280 and destroy a man with zero evidence. And what do 1:09:13.360 --> 1:09:16.280 you think about the credibly accuse mean? This is something 1:09:16.400 --> 1:09:19.000 that we talked a bit about yesterday on the show, 1:09:19.479 --> 1:09:23.880 but this phrase has seeped into the conversation. Credibly accused, 1:09:24.720 --> 1:09:30.160 if credibly accused, merely means that a woman sounds believable 1:09:30.240 --> 1:09:33.400 in her tone and demeanor when making an allegation, which 1:09:33.479 --> 1:09:36.639 I suppose is the case with Blasi Ford. I can't 1:09:36.680 --> 1:09:38.280 even say it's the case with the other two because 1:09:38.280 --> 1:09:41.479 we didn't see their testimony. That seems to completely upend 1:09:41.560 --> 1:09:46.360 evidentiary standards and corroboration for every other allegation of criminal 1:09:46.479 --> 1:09:51.040 or even just illicit conduct. For I think that's exactly true. 1:09:51.080 --> 1:09:53.080 I mean, I think that it's fair to say her 1:09:53.120 --> 1:09:58.880 allegation was compelling, but it's not credible. I mean, I 1:09:59.000 --> 1:10:02.400 think that most p bowl, most people, when the politics 1:10:02.439 --> 1:10:05.479 are pushed aside, can kind of agree that for someone 1:10:05.640 --> 1:10:08.200 like a Harvey Weinstein, where it is more likely than 1:10:08.280 --> 1:10:11.000 he was more likely than not guilty of what he's 1:10:11.040 --> 1:10:14.800 accused of, she deserves to suffer social and professional consequences. 1:10:15.120 --> 1:10:17.120 I think we saw this since al Franken. I think 1:10:17.160 --> 1:10:19.880 we saw this with Ray more with Kavanaugh. The thing is, 1:10:19.920 --> 1:10:23.559 the evidence didn't even come close to reaching that preponderance standard. 1:10:24.080 --> 1:10:26.479 And I think that if he were completely a political figure, 1:10:26.880 --> 1:10:31.160 everyone would understand that the West was not based on 1:10:31.240 --> 1:10:33.600 the principle of believe all women. It was based on 1:10:33.680 --> 1:10:37.120 the principle of you have the right to voice your accusation, 1:10:37.840 --> 1:10:40.479 and we will evaluate it based on the evidence that 1:10:40.520 --> 1:10:42.720 we can find. And again, this does not mean that 1:10:42.800 --> 1:10:46.280 Christine Blizzyford deserves to be harassed because death threats. She 1:10:46.439 --> 1:10:48.200 deserves to be able to go back to her old life. 1:10:48.360 --> 1:10:51.680 She voiced her peace it wasn't proven. Let's move on. 1:10:51.960 --> 1:10:53.680 But it's the less that wants to relitigate this, and 1:10:53.800 --> 1:10:56.519 that's why we're back in this circus. Diana Low she 1:10:56.680 --> 1:10:59.120 read the book, so you don't have to, folks. But 1:11:00.000 --> 1:11:02.320 he's at the Washington Examiner. She's a commentary writer there. 1:11:02.400 --> 1:11:04.960 Follow her on Twitter at Tiana Lo Tiana great stuff. 1:11:04.960 --> 1:11:07.400 Thank you so much for joining us, Thanks for having me. 1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:14.719 I say, all right, team, we'll be right back. Team. 1:11:14.800 --> 1:11:19.000 I want to tell you about a back and forth 1:11:19.400 --> 1:11:23.640 that I have with the with the city government here 1:11:23.840 --> 1:11:28.840 in New York. And this is a tale of bureaucracy, 1:11:29.680 --> 1:11:35.639 of sloth, of ridiculousness. This is for me now turning 1:11:35.680 --> 1:11:39.439 into an education and of itself. I thought maybe I 1:11:39.520 --> 1:11:46.639 would be having this kind of conversation with you about 1:11:46.960 --> 1:11:51.559 me getting my me getting a handgun permit of New 1:11:51.640 --> 1:11:53.759 York City, which I have not yet started that process, 1:11:53.960 --> 1:11:57.920 but I am. I am very much planning on starting 1:11:57.960 --> 1:12:01.800 that process. So I haven't yet gotten any word about that, 1:12:02.720 --> 1:12:05.920 um well, because I haven't started. But I thought that 1:12:05.960 --> 1:12:07.519 we would be talking about, oh my gosh, they make 1:12:07.560 --> 1:12:08.960 me jump through all these hoops. They hate the second 1:12:08.960 --> 1:12:10.840 of them in here, and that's gonna happen. So well, 1:12:11.080 --> 1:12:13.200 I'll give you all those trials and tribulations and you 1:12:13.320 --> 1:12:15.640 can you can just laugh at how ridiculous it is 1:12:15.920 --> 1:12:19.000 in New York City for all that. But I mentioned 1:12:19.040 --> 1:12:21.880 before that I've had a little bit of noise issue 1:12:22.600 --> 1:12:24.599 in my new home. I live in what is now 1:12:24.680 --> 1:12:26.960 it's it looks like something out of Tokyo. It's a 1:12:27.080 --> 1:12:30.479 very new building or something out of Hong Kong. You know, 1:12:30.600 --> 1:12:34.000 it's just it's just brand new. It's very tall, zero 1:12:34.600 --> 1:12:36.560 character or anything like that. And I used to be 1:12:36.680 --> 1:12:39.040 somebody who was like, oh wow, I like a building. 1:12:39.040 --> 1:12:41.120 I like to live in buildings down in the village 1:12:41.680 --> 1:12:44.679 where there are red bricks that have just enough space 1:12:44.760 --> 1:12:48.920 in them for various you know, furry small creatures and 1:12:49.040 --> 1:12:50.800 things to get in and out of the apartment. You know. 1:12:50.920 --> 1:12:54.639 That was my That was my old standard of I'm 1:12:54.680 --> 1:12:56.200 a I'm a city dog. This is just what I 1:12:56.280 --> 1:12:58.280 deal with. But now there's time around. I'm living in 1:12:58.360 --> 1:13:02.840 this brand new building and and it's it's not I 1:13:02.920 --> 1:13:06.080 will say, it's not an issue with the building yet. Um, 1:13:06.280 --> 1:13:08.320 it's an issue with the buildings around it, some of 1:13:08.439 --> 1:13:11.400 which are very old and I'm kind of high up. 1:13:11.479 --> 1:13:17.559 And so there are these these various HVAC systems. They 1:13:17.640 --> 1:13:21.160 look like, you know, the giant fans essentially fans that 1:13:21.240 --> 1:13:22.800 are you know, look like they're like eight or ten 1:13:22.880 --> 1:13:26.120 feet across, that are on the tops of these city buildings. 1:13:26.160 --> 1:13:28.439 And some of these buildings are twenty or thirty stories tall, 1:13:29.120 --> 1:13:31.600 and they have these h vacs and it just, you know, 1:13:31.920 --> 1:13:36.160 makes all this noise. Okay, So I figured I figured 1:13:36.160 --> 1:13:38.479 out one of them had a broken belt, and I 1:13:38.560 --> 1:13:40.679 got I helped them. I'm a good neighbor. I helped 1:13:40.680 --> 1:13:44.080 them figure out that it was a broken belt and 1:13:44.280 --> 1:13:46.040 we got that fixed. It is making a very loud, 1:13:46.080 --> 1:13:51.200 screech noise. But then there's another one. There's another one 1:13:51.240 --> 1:13:54.160 that just happens to be just big and loud. And 1:13:54.320 --> 1:13:56.360 there are in fact, and I know I'm a little 1:13:56.360 --> 1:13:59.800 bit of a persnickety neighbor, but there are noise ordinances 1:14:01.240 --> 1:14:04.360 and and I was curious, so I called the department. 1:14:04.920 --> 1:14:07.320 I know, this is crazy. I call the Department of 1:14:07.400 --> 1:14:09.960 Environmental Protection in New York City, John, believe it or not, 1:14:10.520 --> 1:14:16.360 to come and take a noise violation reading. They have 1:14:16.520 --> 1:14:21.360 these these uh noisometers. I don't know what they really called. 1:14:21.360 --> 1:14:24.880 They read the or they they measure the decibels. I 1:14:25.000 --> 1:14:27.439 like noisometer, but it's it's it's there's some other name 1:14:27.520 --> 1:14:29.959 for it. And they show up with a little noisometer 1:14:30.080 --> 1:14:32.320 and it's a little bit like you know Egon from Ghostbusters, 1:14:32.360 --> 1:14:35.680 like he kind of waves this thing around and you know, 1:14:35.800 --> 1:14:37.920 Egon your mucus, you know what I mean that that's 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:41.439 that's the vibe you get. The guy shows up, very 1:14:41.520 --> 1:14:44.479 nice fellow, and they take the reading the apartment, and 1:14:44.680 --> 1:14:47.880 sure enough, I'm not crazy, which is always good to know. 1:14:48.479 --> 1:14:52.080 The ambient noise created by this fan system is so 1:14:52.360 --> 1:14:58.240 loud that inside my apartment currently is it is a 1:14:58.360 --> 1:15:03.040 noise violation under city code. So I think of myself, Okay, well, one, 1:15:03.080 --> 1:15:05.120 I'm not crazy, that's nice. And then two, I gotta 1:15:05.160 --> 1:15:06.720 figure out a way to deal with this now because 1:15:06.760 --> 1:15:08.439 I don't want to walk around all the day. You know, Oh, 1:15:08.520 --> 1:15:10.439 I'm gonna make some eggs or I'm gonna I'm gonna 1:15:10.479 --> 1:15:12.320 try to like write my book or something out here. 1:15:15.320 --> 1:15:16.680 I mean around the hole. That's what it sounds like, 1:15:16.720 --> 1:15:18.920 the whole you know, all day, twenty four hours a day, 1:15:19.280 --> 1:15:20.720 and you could say, Buck, how could you not know? 1:15:21.320 --> 1:15:24.880 Sometimes the fan goes off, go off for twenty thirty 1:15:24.920 --> 1:15:28.400 forty minutes at a time, and it always comes back on. Obviously, 1:15:28.479 --> 1:15:30.519 I saw this apartment when the fan wasn't on right, 1:15:30.640 --> 1:15:33.200 So I walked in. I'm like, oh, it's it's so quiet. 1:15:33.320 --> 1:15:34.960 I'll love it. I got a little bit of a view. 1:15:35.080 --> 1:15:36.559 It's nice. Now I go in there, I'm like, oh, 1:15:36.600 --> 1:15:41.200 I'm back in my apartment. You know, that's the noise, okay, 1:15:41.640 --> 1:15:44.200 And so it's I'm trying to make it not like 1:15:44.280 --> 1:15:47.000 the Telltale hard here, where the noise drives me completely insane, 1:15:47.080 --> 1:15:50.360 and you know that's a that's a whole other thing. 1:15:50.520 --> 1:15:52.880 Is that with you know, gently tapping tapping at my 1:15:53.000 --> 1:15:54.880 chamber door or whatever? Is that the Telltale hard or 1:15:54.880 --> 1:15:59.000 that mixed both that girl and Poe? Right? Oh? That 1:15:59.120 --> 1:16:00.960 was the was that the oh was I getting? Or 1:16:01.040 --> 1:16:04.599 the rave? The raven? The crow? Oh my gosh, Buck, 1:16:04.760 --> 1:16:08.880 go back and read your literature. So I was close though, 1:16:09.560 --> 1:16:14.439 Um yeah, so uh the cask of a Montiando. I 1:16:14.600 --> 1:16:16.519 remember this stuff. This stuff was great. Well, I was 1:16:16.560 --> 1:16:19.960 back in like junior high so anyway, so I'm trying 1:16:19.960 --> 1:16:21.680 to figure out what do I do here. I've got 1:16:21.800 --> 1:16:23.840 this city, I got the city inspector, I got Egon. 1:16:23.920 --> 1:16:27.000 We'll call him Egon because he's got the noisometer, which 1:16:27.280 --> 1:16:29.000 you know, it looks kind of like a Ghostbuster thing, 1:16:29.120 --> 1:16:31.479 although not quite as cool. And he takes the reading. 1:16:31.520 --> 1:16:33.559 He's like, yeah, man, this is a this is a violation. 1:16:33.720 --> 1:16:37.280 This is a and it's it's about it's twenty percent 1:16:37.439 --> 1:16:39.160 higher than it's supposed to be. That that that's and 1:16:39.200 --> 1:16:41.400 that's the legal limit for the noise. You can imagine 1:16:41.439 --> 1:16:43.080 how loud it is. So I'm not and I'm not 1:16:43.200 --> 1:16:45.640 being a big baby about this. It's really annoying. So 1:16:46.320 --> 1:16:48.760 so I I go to my my building and I say, hey, 1:16:48.880 --> 1:16:50.360 you know, can I just move to the other side 1:16:50.360 --> 1:16:51.640 of the building? You know, can I can I move 1:16:51.680 --> 1:16:53.719 the other side of the building. And you've got empty apartments? 1:16:53.760 --> 1:16:55.200 Let me take one of those. And they say, look 1:16:55.520 --> 1:16:57.599 so far, and we may have to have a whole 1:16:57.640 --> 1:17:01.400 conversation about the building up here if they're reasonable or not. 1:17:01.640 --> 1:17:03.640 So far, it seems like they may be reasonable. They 1:17:03.680 --> 1:17:05.559 may let me move to the other side of the building, 1:17:06.240 --> 1:17:09.559 and they may we'll see, because there's no reason they shouldn't. 1:17:09.560 --> 1:17:11.760 I'm moving the exact same cost or you know, within 1:17:11.920 --> 1:17:14.960 twenty dollars or something, the same cost, department, the whole thing. 1:17:15.760 --> 1:17:17.320 But they said, can we have a copy, you know, 1:17:17.360 --> 1:17:18.840 can you give us a copy of the report? And 1:17:18.920 --> 1:17:20.439 I said, oh, well, how how hard can that be? 1:17:20.560 --> 1:17:22.080 This guy was just in my apartment. He works for 1:17:22.120 --> 1:17:25.240 the city. The report's probably about you know, eight lines long. 1:17:25.760 --> 1:17:29.080 Sure you know what I foun out today, John about 1:17:29.120 --> 1:17:33.080 the report. I need to file a FOIA request, a 1:17:33.280 --> 1:17:36.920 Freedom of Information Act request to get this thing. I'm 1:17:36.960 --> 1:17:38.519 talking to the city government of the phone. I was like, 1:17:38.560 --> 1:17:41.160 you guys are kidding, right, Like that's a joke. You're 1:17:41.240 --> 1:17:44.599 you're you're sitting in front of a computer that has 1:17:44.760 --> 1:17:48.840 information on it that is public information. But that is 1:17:49.000 --> 1:17:53.280 information about my home that I need, but you will 1:17:53.360 --> 1:17:57.400 not give it to me absent a FOYER request. What 1:17:57.640 --> 1:18:01.360 sense does that? It's it is absolutely public, but or 1:18:01.439 --> 1:18:03.040 you know, it's it's essentially I think they call it, 1:18:03.400 --> 1:18:04.840 there's some term for it, but it's it's a it's 1:18:04.840 --> 1:18:07.280 a city FOIA request, it's an official records request. And 1:18:07.360 --> 1:18:09.680 you might say, well, buck, okay, maybe it's not that bad. No, No, 1:18:09.840 --> 1:18:13.200 it is that bad. It takes fourteen days for them 1:18:13.280 --> 1:18:15.920 to even respond whether or not I can get the records, 1:18:16.439 --> 1:18:18.519 and then there's a review period. I'm gonna get this 1:18:18.600 --> 1:18:22.320 stupid record in like three to six months. And I'm 1:18:22.320 --> 1:18:24.960 asking them like, how is this possible? How does anyone 1:18:25.479 --> 1:18:28.920 How does anyone who has ever written you know, city 1:18:29.000 --> 1:18:31.920 statutes or or the the you know, the laws and 1:18:32.080 --> 1:18:34.160 by buy laws and all that stuff for the city 1:18:34.200 --> 1:18:35.479 in New York? How can anyone think this is a 1:18:35.520 --> 1:18:37.000 good idea? But then I realized, Oh, I know what 1:18:37.120 --> 1:18:41.760 this is. The They just make it as difficult as 1:18:41.800 --> 1:18:44.880 possible so that people go away. They just make it 1:18:44.920 --> 1:18:47.320 as hard. Oh, and then there's another little wrinkle here. 1:18:48.000 --> 1:18:50.439 They're not even sure what will be contained in the 1:18:50.520 --> 1:18:54.759 report because we could not tell necessarily what the source 1:18:54.800 --> 1:18:58.160 of the noise was on the first visit by Egon. 1:18:59.439 --> 1:19:02.320 So I'm I'm supposed to have Egon or someone who 1:19:02.479 --> 1:19:06.120 is like Egon come back for a second visit to 1:19:07.000 --> 1:19:09.240 ensure that we know where the noise is coming from, 1:19:09.800 --> 1:19:12.040 which might mean that then there has to be a 1:19:12.320 --> 1:19:16.000 second Foyer request, which might take another two weeks of 1:19:16.120 --> 1:19:20.200 review and then three months of processing I'm losing my 1:19:20.320 --> 1:19:24.360 mind over here. How is this possible? What's the point 1:19:24.840 --> 1:19:28.960 of having a noise ordinance when when you you know 1:19:29.000 --> 1:19:32.679 they're in violation, there's a problem. And I my recourse 1:19:32.800 --> 1:19:35.360 is to sit around and wait for lazy city employees 1:19:36.040 --> 1:19:37.800 to click on a few things and send me. It's 1:19:37.800 --> 1:19:41.560 gonna take months. I know city employees. They are overwhelmingly 1:19:41.640 --> 1:19:44.040 a very very I worked for the city. They're a 1:19:44.120 --> 1:19:46.200 lazy bunch. Not all of them, but most of them. 1:19:48.800 --> 1:19:52.240 And here we go, this is this is where we 1:19:53.360 --> 1:19:56.320 we have all these people their jobs. They're the Department 1:19:56.400 --> 1:19:58.600 Environmental Protection as a whole unit. Just just to this 1:19:58.680 --> 1:20:01.240 because people completely you know, they have to vacate their 1:20:01.320 --> 1:20:03.719 homes because noise in the cities use a constant problem, 1:20:03.760 --> 1:20:06.439 which is the cost of living here in the noise 1:20:06.439 --> 1:20:08.400 are the two things that I wish I could change. 1:20:08.400 --> 1:20:09.760 Other than that, I actually kind of like it here 1:20:10.560 --> 1:20:12.040 with the cost of livings out of control and the 1:20:12.080 --> 1:20:13.920 noise is out of control. But you know what this was, 1:20:13.960 --> 1:20:15.400 and I'm sharing this with you, one just so you 1:20:15.479 --> 1:20:16.840 can laugh at me, because this is what you get 1:20:16.880 --> 1:20:19.840 for living in New York City. But two, it's also 1:20:19.920 --> 1:20:21.479 just a reminder of like this. This is why you 1:20:21.479 --> 1:20:23.920 don't want the government in charge of things. Every person 1:20:24.040 --> 1:20:26.080 I spoke to today who worked for the City of 1:20:26.160 --> 1:20:28.479 New York was like, yeah, I agree. This is stupid. 1:20:28.760 --> 1:20:31.040 This is a dumb system. I should be able to 1:20:31.120 --> 1:20:33.479 just print this off and send it to you, or 1:20:33.520 --> 1:20:34.920 I should be able to just email this to you. 1:20:35.000 --> 1:20:38.720 Why not, You're definitely entitled to it. Oh no, but 1:20:38.840 --> 1:20:43.200 let's let's delay it by weeks maybe months, and see, 1:20:43.479 --> 1:20:45.320 you know, and see then you know how we feel 1:20:45.360 --> 1:20:50.160 about this. It's just madness. It's just madness. But this 1:20:50.360 --> 1:20:52.120 is why you don't want the government in charge your life. 1:20:52.120 --> 1:20:57.000 This is why a government of enumerated powers, a government 1:20:57.160 --> 1:21:03.360 that has to respect certain basic rights and and is 1:21:03.439 --> 1:21:05.679 not able to infringe on them. And there's a there's 1:21:05.680 --> 1:21:07.760 a reason why we have the system we do. It's 1:21:07.760 --> 1:21:13.839 because government is sloth and inefficiency and stupidity, and nobody cares. 1:21:14.360 --> 1:21:17.320 Nobody cares. The Papa Buck can't get any sleep, Nobody cares. 1:21:18.720 --> 1:21:25.519 This saga will continue, my friends. So there is a 1:21:25.800 --> 1:21:29.839 squeaker of an election right now. It's going on in Israel. 1:21:29.960 --> 1:21:33.200 It is for the big job is Benjamin and Yaho 1:21:33.360 --> 1:21:36.760 Bibi going to come out the victor or what are 1:21:36.800 --> 1:21:40.559 the possibilities here? What could happen? Come may Man dovid 1:21:40.760 --> 1:21:44.000 Affoon on the line now. He is the editor in 1:21:44.080 --> 1:21:47.200 chief of the Alga Miner and he's gonna tell us 1:21:47.240 --> 1:21:51.040 what's happening, David. Great to have you back, all right, man, 1:21:51.120 --> 1:21:53.160 to just just bring us up to speed. What is 1:21:53.200 --> 1:21:56.439 going on here? Well, look, the only thing we have 1:21:56.600 --> 1:21:59.639 right now, okay, so we don't have a final result 1:22:00.120 --> 1:22:03.519 or late at night would probably be you know, when 1:22:03.520 --> 1:22:06.280 everyone wakes up here in America tomorrow morning, we'll see 1:22:06.920 --> 1:22:10.280 what the final results are. The exit polls, you know, 1:22:10.439 --> 1:22:13.439 give us some idea, but notoriety, and in the past 1:22:13.479 --> 1:22:16.840 they have not been precise. They usually take a couple 1:22:16.880 --> 1:22:20.519 of seats off of Prime Minister in Naho the Could Party, 1:22:21.760 --> 1:22:26.679 largely because there are absentee balants included from balancing soldiers 1:22:26.720 --> 1:22:30.360 and others that are not necessarily taken into account with 1:22:30.560 --> 1:22:33.240 the exit polls, and they usually vote more for the 1:22:33.360 --> 1:22:36.000 right wing. In the meantime, you've got these exit polls 1:22:36.040 --> 1:22:39.680 to show a dead heat, almost a dead heat, and 1:22:40.000 --> 1:22:44.320 they don't show Naho with his decisive and natural coalition, 1:22:45.720 --> 1:22:48.519 which he'd be able to form now. It doesn't mean 1:22:48.640 --> 1:22:51.920 that he's lost a lot of support from last time, 1:22:52.400 --> 1:22:56.720 because when the calculations were made last time, there was 1:22:57.080 --> 1:23:00.600 they included the party of a big deleeverman who's traditionally 1:23:00.760 --> 1:23:03.720 seen as part of the right wing block, because that's 1:23:03.760 --> 1:23:07.000 she's shroud the attained. But now he's still to position 1:23:07.120 --> 1:23:10.599 himself as a kingmaker and he's actually come out ahead, 1:23:11.120 --> 1:23:13.639 moving from five seats to eight seats. As a result 1:23:13.720 --> 1:23:17.920 of this election, he's basically driven the whole country through 1:23:18.000 --> 1:23:22.160 the system again for some gains, for some games, for 1:23:22.320 --> 1:23:25.840 his own coffee, and the gambit seems to have played off, 1:23:26.040 --> 1:23:29.280 to be honest. So what do you expect would happen 1:23:29.520 --> 1:23:31.360 if bb and we've just gotten used to I mean, 1:23:31.400 --> 1:23:33.400 how many how many years now has net and Yahoo 1:23:33.520 --> 1:23:36.639 been been running the show? Uh, It's it's been quite 1:23:36.640 --> 1:23:40.840 a while. So I think Americans, Yeah, longest prime minister, Yeah, 1:23:40.920 --> 1:23:44.160 longest serving prime minister. So I think Americans like, well, 1:23:44.240 --> 1:23:48.120 you know, bb BBB understands who the bad guys are 1:23:48.200 --> 1:23:50.640 in the Middle East. He's an alive United States and 1:23:50.720 --> 1:23:53.439 you know, we're we're gotten comfortable with him in that 1:23:53.680 --> 1:23:55.519 spot because he's been in it for a long time 1:23:55.600 --> 1:23:58.200 and things have been relatively quiet and Israel certain of 1:23:58.280 --> 1:23:59.760 what was certainly compared to what was going on in 1:23:59.800 --> 1:24:03.240 the two thousands. If BB were to I I know, 1:24:03.320 --> 1:24:05.080 we don't know yet, and you know it's very very tight. 1:24:05.200 --> 1:24:08.360 If BB were to lose, what would change in Israel 1:24:08.640 --> 1:24:12.120 and what might change in the US relationship with Israel 1:24:12.200 --> 1:24:14.080 or the folks here across the country? You know, how 1:24:14.160 --> 1:24:16.000 could this affect things that we care about here? But 1:24:16.120 --> 1:24:20.599 first start with on the Israeli side, what might be different? Well, look, 1:24:21.120 --> 1:24:24.760 there's no question that you know, who is an incredibly 1:24:25.000 --> 1:24:28.960 competent leader on a whole host of levels. And you know, 1:24:29.080 --> 1:24:33.599 his leadership has really brought Israel to the international stage 1:24:34.320 --> 1:24:38.519 as as a paw player, as a very significant power 1:24:38.600 --> 1:24:42.920 plan both economically and politically and militarily, and you know 1:24:43.040 --> 1:24:46.639 that's something that whatever happens, he's going to be remembered 1:24:46.720 --> 1:24:49.679 for by the Israel And it's why, you know, despite 1:24:49.840 --> 1:24:53.880 all the shenanigans and the critique in the corruption investigations 1:24:53.880 --> 1:24:57.479 and everything else that's going on there, the israelis still 1:24:58.000 --> 1:25:00.439 like him because he's good a job. He's really, really, 1:25:00.479 --> 1:25:04.439 really good at the job. Now, his main competitors are 1:25:04.520 --> 1:25:08.240 the Blue and White Party, you know, even though even 1:25:08.320 --> 1:25:11.120 if they are neck and neck, they have an even 1:25:11.240 --> 1:25:14.479 more unlikely pasthway to forming a coalition. Even though it's 1:25:14.520 --> 1:25:17.719 not clear what the others pathway will be, their pathway 1:25:17.760 --> 1:25:22.360 will be even harder. So it's you know, even if 1:25:22.400 --> 1:25:25.400 it's a tie, it doesn't necessarily mean that the DV 1:25:25.600 --> 1:25:30.840 is out by any means. But in terms of the substance, 1:25:30.880 --> 1:25:34.120 there isn't actually a great deal that divides them. It 1:25:34.280 --> 1:25:37.719 probably has a lot more to do with style. Certainly, 1:25:37.960 --> 1:25:42.200 one thing is for sure. The left in the United States, 1:25:42.680 --> 1:25:46.080 for example, the Democratic Party or even the Obama administration, 1:25:46.640 --> 1:25:49.320 their views on the conflict in the Middle East are 1:25:49.479 --> 1:25:52.240 not shared at all by very many Israelis, I mean 1:25:52.360 --> 1:25:56.880 their constituency. That sort of perspective and worldview is held 1:25:57.000 --> 1:26:01.400 by you know, maybe you know, five seats or five 1:26:01.479 --> 1:26:04.040 percent of the electric maybe even left. The Blue and 1:26:04.120 --> 1:26:08.320 White Party, which is Naho's major competitor, holds similar views 1:26:08.600 --> 1:26:14.040 on negotiations with the Palestinians, on Iranian expansionism, on you know, 1:26:14.200 --> 1:26:17.559 Israel's right to districts of territories in a lot of cases, 1:26:19.040 --> 1:26:22.479 you know, so certainly around the settlement block, so you know, 1:26:23.320 --> 1:26:27.080 substantially there isn't a great deal between them, the big differences. 1:26:27.439 --> 1:26:30.040 You know that we're talking about a political novice, right 1:26:30.120 --> 1:26:33.000 Benny Gantz is a capable leader who led at the 1:26:33.080 --> 1:26:36.519 Israeli military, but he's new to the world stage. You know, 1:26:36.600 --> 1:26:40.400 he has not negotiated with Vladimir Putin before, and he 1:26:40.479 --> 1:26:44.680 doesn't have a long standing relationship with Trump or Bosonaro 1:26:44.760 --> 1:26:48.920 in Brazil or Modi in the countries that Israel's building 1:26:48.960 --> 1:26:51.679 ties with the survive and to floreish and to grow. 1:26:52.120 --> 1:26:54.760 So that's been the center point of Naho's campaign. He 1:26:54.880 --> 1:26:58.760 knows that that's his strength over his rival. And you know, 1:26:59.000 --> 1:27:01.559 it remains to be seen and how the newcomers are 1:27:01.600 --> 1:27:04.080 going to affair in that regard. How do you think 1:27:04.560 --> 1:27:08.880 the Israelis right now are seeing the situation with Iran 1:27:09.000 --> 1:27:13.840 and Saudi Arabia. Are the Israelis behind the scenes very 1:27:13.880 --> 1:27:16.960 supportive of Saudi or are they? What do you think 1:27:17.040 --> 1:27:20.040 they're then? And now? Who obviously who knows how long 1:27:20.080 --> 1:27:21.880 and how government's going to be what it is right now, 1:27:21.920 --> 1:27:24.840 But let's assume it continues as is what is the 1:27:24.920 --> 1:27:28.400 position of these really government in the in response to 1:27:28.560 --> 1:27:30.640 something like this, I mean, who, who would they what 1:27:30.720 --> 1:27:34.400 would they like to see done? Look, there's no question 1:27:34.520 --> 1:27:39.760 now that you know really historically, you know, it's it's 1:27:39.880 --> 1:27:42.439 historical in terms of how it's unfolded that these rendings 1:27:42.479 --> 1:27:44.880 in the Saudis and lots of the Saudis, but the 1:27:45.520 --> 1:27:49.000 sort of more moderate sunny Access have been creeping closer 1:27:49.040 --> 1:27:52.720 and closer together over the last number of years, and 1:27:52.840 --> 1:27:55.280 that's sort of being precipitated by the threat from Iran, 1:27:55.320 --> 1:27:58.080 which is a shared threat now the Asrailis runs and 1:27:58.160 --> 1:28:02.360 no illusions, they recognize that they and Alliance of Convenience 1:28:02.600 --> 1:28:06.599 and there's certainly skeptical about the long term prospects. Having 1:28:06.680 --> 1:28:09.280 said that, they do view it as an opportunity, an 1:28:09.320 --> 1:28:12.720 opportunity to open up dialogue, to work together and to 1:28:13.120 --> 1:28:16.799 to you know, suffer the harsh nature of those historical 1:28:16.880 --> 1:28:21.920 harsh nature of that relationship. So you know, I think, uh, 1:28:22.439 --> 1:28:24.960 you know, they'll they'll be working together in terms of 1:28:25.760 --> 1:28:29.800 you know, behind the scenes, whatever we're seeing on, you know, 1:28:29.880 --> 1:28:31.680 in front of the of the scenes, there's a lot 1:28:31.720 --> 1:28:36.240 more going on behind the team. And these ratings will 1:28:36.600 --> 1:28:40.759 be you know, working with intelligence in the Sounding community 1:28:40.920 --> 1:28:45.600 and across them the least the mutual and share the 1:28:45.760 --> 1:28:49.640 enemy that looms larger over the entire regions around and 1:28:49.800 --> 1:28:53.360 whatever they can do together to stem that toright, They're 1:28:53.400 --> 1:28:56.840 going to be doing both covert and and overt and uh, 1:28:57.320 --> 1:28:59.320 you know, they'll be looking for opportunities to push you 1:28:59.479 --> 1:29:02.759 in its fact wherever they can. The Alga Minor Folks, 1:29:02.800 --> 1:29:05.680 the fastest growing Jewish newspaper in America. Go to Algaminer 1:29:05.760 --> 1:29:08.680 dot com for all things going on in in the 1:29:08.880 --> 1:29:12.439 realm of Israel and all things related to the Jewish 1:29:12.479 --> 1:29:16.000 people and our friend David Iffoon's the editor in chief. David, 1:29:16.040 --> 1:29:18.560 always appreciate your expertise, my friend. Great to talk to you. 1:29:19.280 --> 1:29:22.000 I was a pleasure. Buck team will be right back, 1:29:25.680 --> 1:29:27.640 you know. I found out today actually I'm gonna get 1:29:27.680 --> 1:29:32.400 to go to Nashville for the first time, get a 1:29:32.439 --> 1:29:35.599 little Nashville time in for the Buster. I don't wanted 1:29:35.600 --> 1:29:37.760 to go for a long time. I feel like maybe 1:29:37.800 --> 1:29:40.240 I have a burgeoning country music career. I just don't 1:29:40.320 --> 1:29:42.240 know it yet. I have to learn to sing and 1:29:42.360 --> 1:29:46.200 play the guitar, or maybe I would learn. I was 1:29:46.240 --> 1:29:48.960 gonna say steel drum, that's Caribbean. What's the what's the 1:29:49.640 --> 1:29:54.680 steel guitar? Not steel drum, that's a different that's a 1:29:54.800 --> 1:29:57.920 different music genre. Buck. Maybe I need to spend more 1:29:57.960 --> 1:29:59.680 time in Nashville so I know these things. But yes, 1:29:59.720 --> 1:30:04.879 INDI I will be in at Politic Con in Nashville, 1:30:04.960 --> 1:30:07.280 the twenty five twenty over the twenty sixth and twenty 1:30:07.280 --> 1:30:10.439 seventh in Nashville, Tennessee in October. So I found that 1:30:10.479 --> 1:30:12.920 out today, So that's exciting. So Nashville's getting crossed off 1:30:12.960 --> 1:30:16.120 the list, which is great. Austin is next. I really 1:30:16.200 --> 1:30:20.240 just need some some excuse. So somebody at KLBJ Austin 1:30:20.320 --> 1:30:22.720 needs to you know, in the audience down there. He's 1:30:22.720 --> 1:30:25.400 to help me think of an excuse to get the 1:30:25.479 --> 1:30:28.200 powers that be to send me down to Austin. Nashville 1:30:28.240 --> 1:30:31.280 made it happen, Fort Wayne, Indiana has made it happen. 1:30:32.120 --> 1:30:34.800 Los Angeles and Orange County and you know they've made 1:30:34.840 --> 1:30:37.839 it happen. Team Buck, Los Angeles, Team Buck, Orange County, 1:30:38.560 --> 1:30:43.560 Team Buck, Springfield, Illinois has made it happen. So I 1:30:43.640 --> 1:30:45.240 need an excuse to go down to Austin. That's what 1:30:45.280 --> 1:30:46.840 I've decided I gotta figure out what it is. We 1:30:46.880 --> 1:30:52.360 got roll call in a moment, like soft butter on 1:30:52.479 --> 1:30:56.080 warm toast, Time to spread some freedom coast to coast. 1:31:04.840 --> 1:31:07.479 It's time for roll call. What is soft butter and 1:31:07.560 --> 1:31:11.200 warm toast have to do with free? This? I didn't 1:31:11.200 --> 1:31:13.120 come up with it. What is this? This doesn't even 1:31:13.160 --> 1:31:14.960 make any sense. I just realized this as we're airing 1:31:15.000 --> 1:31:17.400 this across the nation. I guess freedom is easy, like 1:31:18.080 --> 1:31:23.120 spreading soft butter on warm toast. Like soft butter on warm, 1:31:23.240 --> 1:31:25.240 so it's easy to spread freedom. I think it's difficult 1:31:25.280 --> 1:31:26.680 to spread freedom. I think we put a lot of 1:31:26.720 --> 1:31:30.040 work into this. That liner was before me. He's getting 1:31:30.080 --> 1:31:32.960 he's getting a Christmas present this year. I'm sorry that 1:31:33.040 --> 1:31:35.479 didn't go on here. I said, you make it look easy. 1:31:35.560 --> 1:31:40.160 That's Harry White spreading like I get a HONEK gift. Yeah, 1:31:40.200 --> 1:31:42.439 of course, thank you. Don't you get multiple honek gifts? 1:31:42.520 --> 1:31:45.439 Is that's how it works? Wow? I think I gotta 1:31:45.439 --> 1:31:46.760 get on. I haven't got an eight gifts since I 1:31:47.000 --> 1:31:49.680 gotta get on like the Amazon you know special deal 1:31:49.800 --> 1:31:53.960 section eight gifts gifts. Freedom, It's not that big man. Yeah, 1:31:54.040 --> 1:31:57.200 we'll figure it out, so we'll get you a honk 1:31:57.240 --> 1:32:00.880 a gift. So now that we have that team buck 1:32:01.000 --> 1:32:06.080 at iHeartRadio dot com, that is the email address for 1:32:06.439 --> 1:32:08.080 us if you want to send us. But I also 1:32:08.080 --> 1:32:10.280 don't want people to stop using Facebook dot com slash 1:32:10.320 --> 1:32:13.439 buck Sexton. So to that end, we're gonna mix and match, 1:32:13.880 --> 1:32:16.200 and today we'll get into a little bit more of 1:32:17.680 --> 1:32:19.920 the Facebook messages because some of you really like that, 1:32:20.640 --> 1:32:25.920 some of you don't. Here we go, Johan, last night 1:32:25.960 --> 1:32:27.719 you brought up at some cops to be very happy 1:32:27.760 --> 1:32:29.960 to be the only ones allowed to carry. This is 1:32:30.000 --> 1:32:32.759 something I've been saying for a long time. I'm retired 1:32:32.800 --> 1:32:34.880 military and law enforcement, and I can say without a 1:32:35.000 --> 1:32:38.560 doubt that most in both organizations feel separate from a 1:32:38.640 --> 1:32:40.720 general population. And we'll do what they're told to do, 1:32:41.280 --> 1:32:46.280 including forceable confiscation. Every dictator that has ever ruled and 1:32:46.360 --> 1:32:50.360 oppressed does only with the support of the police. With 1:32:50.560 --> 1:32:52.760 police being armed, like the military, people's right to bear 1:32:52.840 --> 1:32:55.680 arms in jeopardy, only bad things can happen. Well, yeah, 1:32:55.840 --> 1:32:59.000 you're taking it further than I was. But you're saying 1:32:59.040 --> 1:33:03.280 your law enforce and military, yourself or former law enforcement 1:33:03.320 --> 1:33:06.519 or military. So that's certainly adds some weight to your 1:33:07.000 --> 1:33:09.880 note here, but I can tell you that there are 1:33:10.000 --> 1:33:12.639 I have spoken to cops who just say, yeah, people 1:33:12.680 --> 1:33:15.760 want to have shotguns for home defense and for going 1:33:15.920 --> 1:33:18.920 sporting clay shooting. That's fine. But I've spoken to cops 1:33:18.920 --> 1:33:20.400 who are like, I don't want people having handguns and 1:33:20.400 --> 1:33:25.040 I don't want people having semi automatic rifles. I've talked 1:33:25.080 --> 1:33:27.160 to them. I'm not making this up. They're out there, 1:33:27.760 --> 1:33:30.439 so you know. I've also spoken to other cops who 1:33:31.760 --> 1:33:34.640 volunteer their own time trying to train conceal you know, 1:33:34.680 --> 1:33:36.880 trying to do conceal carry class for people because they 1:33:37.360 --> 1:33:41.320 want more. They think that the more people who appreciate 1:33:41.520 --> 1:33:46.080 and utilize their Second Amendment rights, the better. So there's clearly, 1:33:46.160 --> 1:33:49.320 I mean, there's a I'm just saying that there exists 1:33:49.360 --> 1:33:52.439 within law enforcement mentality. I have no way of gauging 1:33:53.439 --> 1:33:57.040 which is the which would be even the majority. I 1:33:57.160 --> 1:34:00.479 don't know. I would think that law enforcement now nationally 1:34:01.080 --> 1:34:05.040 would be more in favor of the of an armed citizenry. 1:34:05.479 --> 1:34:09.160 But you know, you look at LAPD, NYPD, there are 1:34:09.240 --> 1:34:13.080 some major urban I mean, the NYPD has about fifty 1:34:13.120 --> 1:34:18.759 thousand employees over thirty thousand armed and sworn law enforcement, 1:34:18.920 --> 1:34:21.240 So you know that that's a lot. So for those 1:34:21.240 --> 1:34:22.479 of you who are like well Buck, you know out 1:34:22.560 --> 1:34:26.240 here and out here in Indiana, you know, law enforcement 1:34:26.360 --> 1:34:28.960 is far more favorable to the Second Amendment, that's probably true, 1:34:29.439 --> 1:34:32.519 But you also have far fewer cops. So you know, 1:34:32.600 --> 1:34:34.439 I just I don't know. I think it would be 1:34:34.439 --> 1:34:39.880 interesting if we could get some data on this one. Andrea, Right, 1:34:40.040 --> 1:34:47.200 so there's a traditional Mongolian horn made of human thigh bone. Okay, guys, 1:34:47.320 --> 1:34:53.160 my trumpet broke. Who's willing to help a fella out? Andrea? 1:34:54.320 --> 1:34:56.439 Or is it Andrea? Where do we go with? What's 1:34:56.479 --> 1:34:59.679 the go to? I was talking to your friend reason. 1:34:59.720 --> 1:35:02.560 I said Tara, and she said, no, it's Tara, And 1:35:02.680 --> 1:35:04.960 I'm like, do we really do? Really? Correct Tara and Tara? 1:35:05.080 --> 1:35:07.720 I mean, isn't that with that name? It's ridiculous, right, 1:35:07.800 --> 1:35:11.799 isn't that Tomato? Tomato? I mean really, Andrea or Andrea 1:35:12.400 --> 1:35:15.800 or Andrea could be a man or a woman. Really, 1:35:16.640 --> 1:35:19.120 you know, you've never had heard of a male Andrea 1:35:19.320 --> 1:35:21.920 or Andrea. No, I feel like Andrea is the way 1:35:22.000 --> 1:35:26.679 a man? Andrea? Yes, like Andrea no, really, I feel 1:35:26.720 --> 1:35:29.120 like I've heard a man be that have that name before. Well, 1:35:30.000 --> 1:35:32.559 I've I met a man I've met I've obviously there 1:35:32.600 --> 1:35:36.040 are men named Leslie, there are men named Ashley Andre 1:35:37.640 --> 1:35:41.519 uh bam hmm. Okay, that's producer John. Maybe you're all 1:35:41.600 --> 1:35:43.720 maybe you're gonna get all eight Hanaka presents this year? 1:35:43.800 --> 1:35:45.800 Maybe yes, you know, with with that kind of skill, 1:35:45.920 --> 1:35:50.400 we'll see all right back into into the mix here, Richard, 1:35:51.680 --> 1:35:56.040 uh right, the Democrats started the last well Civil War 1:35:56.160 --> 1:35:58.639 in your opinion, how long will it take this time? Well, Richard, 1:35:58.720 --> 1:36:01.639 I I don't you know. Look, I certainly I can't 1:36:01.680 --> 1:36:03.400 predict I always tell you I can't predict the future. 1:36:03.439 --> 1:36:05.200 No one can predict the future. But I don't think 1:36:05.200 --> 1:36:08.479 we're heading heading for that. I certainly would never I 1:36:08.520 --> 1:36:10.519 would hope that we would never head for that. Again, 1:36:11.200 --> 1:36:14.040 it's it's almost difficult to read a history of the 1:36:14.080 --> 1:36:16.200 Civil War for me sometimes or to go back and 1:36:16.320 --> 1:36:20.559 dive into just because the human carnage and just knowing 1:36:20.600 --> 1:36:23.240 these are all Americans and we're just oh it was, 1:36:23.360 --> 1:36:25.240 it's just horrifying. But then again, you read the history 1:36:25.240 --> 1:36:26.840 of the First World War, the Second you know, war, 1:36:27.000 --> 1:36:32.880 is horrifying, So maybe that's true across the board. James rights, 1:36:32.880 --> 1:36:35.040 Hey Bok, listen to Friday's show. I'm surprised by the 1:36:35.080 --> 1:36:40.320 fact that no one has pointed out Beta O'Rourke Beta 1:36:40.439 --> 1:36:44.000 O'Rourke rather saying an AR fifteen shot X people and 1:36:44.400 --> 1:36:47.680 AR fifteen shot. No one Ah, yes, pointing out that 1:36:47.720 --> 1:36:49.320 this is a tool. Be safe, brother, come on home 1:36:49.360 --> 1:36:52.679 with your shielder on it. Beta is a shield tosser, 1:36:52.720 --> 1:36:55.360 if there ever was one. Yes, For those who have 1:36:55.520 --> 1:36:58.080 not been around the show long enough, we sometimes refer 1:36:58.160 --> 1:37:02.120 to people as a shield tosser. This was a horrible insult. 1:37:02.200 --> 1:37:05.960 You know, this was like, you know, this was the 1:37:06.040 --> 1:37:09.519 equivalent of a yo mama joke. Back in the day 1:37:10.680 --> 1:37:14.639 where the ancient Spartans, the Athenians, if somebody, if somebody 1:37:14.720 --> 1:37:16.759 was being a coward, you called them a shield tosser. 1:37:17.280 --> 1:37:23.200 Because the armor that in Phalanx warfare, the armor that 1:37:23.400 --> 1:37:29.320 hop lights the heavily, the heavily bronze clad foot soldiers 1:37:29.920 --> 1:37:34.439 of ancient Grease, ancient Macedonia. If you were going to 1:37:34.520 --> 1:37:36.599 run away, guess what you had to toss. You had 1:37:36.640 --> 1:37:39.640 this big, heavy shield, so you'd throw your shield in 1:37:39.680 --> 1:37:41.240 the ground and then you actually had a chance of 1:37:41.320 --> 1:37:43.599 maybe getting away. If you try to run with your shield, 1:37:43.640 --> 1:37:46.040 you weren't going to get very far very fast. So 1:37:46.160 --> 1:37:48.599 that's why a shield tosser is a term for coward 1:37:48.640 --> 1:37:51.160 from ancient Greece, and we use it here sometimes on 1:37:51.240 --> 1:37:54.880 the show. Is Beta a shield tosser? I wouldn't want 1:37:54.920 --> 1:37:56.479 him next to me and the Phalanx, I can tell 1:37:56.479 --> 1:37:59.519 you that much. Yeah, it's just like I understand why 1:37:59.560 --> 1:38:02.000 people are stopping me and like stopping you right now, 1:38:02.080 --> 1:38:06.000 because like if I just took out my guitar, maybe 1:38:06.080 --> 1:38:10.000 I could convince the spartans like not to try to 1:38:10.120 --> 1:38:12.840 like take all of our stuff and enslave our women 1:38:12.840 --> 1:38:14.800 and children. Like I could just like talk to them 1:38:15.080 --> 1:38:21.439 and they would understand we could come together and unify. David, Right, 1:38:21.960 --> 1:38:26.120 it's gonna take in nineteen forties American military mentality to 1:38:26.200 --> 1:38:30.080 defeat a country like Iran that is culturally behind the 1:38:30.200 --> 1:38:32.960 rest of the modernized world. We all know today's political 1:38:33.000 --> 1:38:35.160 climate that is improbable. Look at the idiots that have 1:38:35.280 --> 1:38:37.479 been elected in this country. People actually vote for them. 1:38:37.520 --> 1:38:39.439 It's crazy to take care of buck Well. David, thank 1:38:39.520 --> 1:38:44.200 you and for writing in and yeah, I don't want 1:38:44.240 --> 1:38:46.920 to war. They're on. I don't want to war they're on. 1:38:47.439 --> 1:38:49.240 I don't want us trying to clean up Iron's mess. 1:38:49.320 --> 1:38:50.960 I don't want us in church. I do not want 1:38:51.439 --> 1:38:54.479 young men from you know, Texas and New York and 1:38:54.600 --> 1:38:58.479 Florida and Iowa and Nebraska and California and you and 1:38:58.760 --> 1:39:04.679 I don't want them walking around with you know, armor 1:39:04.760 --> 1:39:07.559 plating on and carrying m fors and trying to make 1:39:07.640 --> 1:39:10.840 sure that a bunch of Iranian insurgents don't kill women 1:39:10.880 --> 1:39:13.120 and children and say, oh, look at the occupation here. 1:39:13.160 --> 1:39:16.640 I mean, just please, we've done it no more. You know, 1:39:16.760 --> 1:39:20.439 there was zero gratitude from the Middle East really and 1:39:20.880 --> 1:39:22.640 very little, if any gratitude from the rest of the 1:39:22.720 --> 1:39:25.280 world for us trying to make a rock a better place. 1:39:25.320 --> 1:39:28.759 So just start with that. Afghanistan. Yeah, there's some Afghans 1:39:28.800 --> 1:39:32.960 that appreciate us, but you know, not that much, not enough, 1:39:33.240 --> 1:39:35.160 not enough that it's worth doing this thing again, that's 1:39:35.200 --> 1:39:41.080 for sure, kel Van, right, Buck, I'll try to keep 1:39:41.120 --> 1:39:43.439 it short, but expanding on the possibility of red flag 1:39:43.560 --> 1:39:47.160 laws overreaching and manifest overreaching and manifesting in various forms. 1:39:47.600 --> 1:39:49.519 My friend who was a very generic name, had her 1:39:49.560 --> 1:39:54.880 house loan delayed enough it might jeopardize her purchase because 1:39:54.920 --> 1:39:57.080 her name was the same as somebody on the no 1:39:57.240 --> 1:40:00.400 fly list. Government overreach is like a van and just 1:40:00.520 --> 1:40:03.200 grows until it takes over the whole house. Shields High 1:40:03.320 --> 1:40:07.880 from Anchorage. Nice up up in Anchorage, man, good to 1:40:07.920 --> 1:40:09.840 talk to Team Buck Alaska. Haven't heard from me a 1:40:09.880 --> 1:40:15.599 little while. As to your your point about government messing up, Yeah, 1:40:15.640 --> 1:40:19.080 there there are no there's nothing about government messing up 1:40:19.240 --> 1:40:22.760 that surprises me. You can expect there's there's no level 1:40:22.840 --> 1:40:26.320 of incompetence where you'd say, wha, A government couldn't do that. 1:40:26.560 --> 1:40:28.479 I mean, the government is capable of any level of 1:40:28.520 --> 1:40:31.439 stupidity really because no one cares and there's really very 1:40:31.439 --> 1:40:34.080 little accountability. It's kind of a recurring fem here on 1:40:34.160 --> 1:40:36.880 the show. So yes, could I could I believe that 1:40:37.000 --> 1:40:39.080 somebody was caught off in a red flag law just 1:40:39.200 --> 1:40:43.479 because their name was similar, they had a similar, similarly 1:40:43.560 --> 1:40:46.920 spelled name to somebody else. I absolutely can believe that. 1:40:47.360 --> 1:40:52.720 It's not surprising to me in the least. Let's see 1:40:52.760 --> 1:40:58.040 what we have here, Tracy, Hey Buck, I love your show. Tracy, 1:40:58.120 --> 1:41:01.720 I love your love of the show. Judge Kavanaugh was 1:41:01.760 --> 1:41:04.840 appointed to represent our laws and constitution. He should make 1:41:04.880 --> 1:41:07.760 it work for him now and sue the pants off 1:41:07.760 --> 1:41:11.440 The New York Times Shields a Tracy in Mobile, Alabama, 1:41:12.600 --> 1:41:15.600 not to be said mobile like a mobile station. No, 1:41:15.880 --> 1:41:19.960 that's not right. Just in case, producer, Producer John, if 1:41:20.000 --> 1:41:22.439 you ever get stuck down there and you happen to 1:41:22.520 --> 1:41:27.200 be the first car to arrive after a lethal robbery 1:41:27.880 --> 1:41:31.760 in which somebody is shot, and then you're picked up 1:41:31.760 --> 1:41:33.960 by the local sheriff and you only have one phone 1:41:34.000 --> 1:41:37.600 call and it is to your cousin Vinnie. I just 1:41:37.720 --> 1:41:39.839 want you to know how to produce, how to pronounce 1:41:39.960 --> 1:41:43.120 rather the name of the town you're in, because that'll 1:41:43.200 --> 1:41:47.639 help you when the judge is lack what is a ute? 1:41:48.680 --> 1:41:51.559 You know? Then you're gonna yeah, Producer, you know exactly 1:41:51.560 --> 1:41:53.920 at least at least now, see producer Mark, he's a 1:41:53.960 --> 1:41:56.919 young un so he doesn't know this movie. But thankfully 1:41:56.960 --> 1:41:59.400 you're here this week help it out. And so I 1:41:59.439 --> 1:42:03.400 could make references to movies from the early nineties where 1:42:03.439 --> 1:42:09.040 Producer Mark was probably neck deep in Power Rangers. Maybe 1:42:09.240 --> 1:42:12.160 early nineties I was neck deep in some baby food 1:42:12.479 --> 1:42:16.680 oh man, wow, he just aged us again. All right, 1:42:16.840 --> 1:42:22.680 fair enough, Terrence Buck, great show has always but I've 1:42:22.680 --> 1:42:24.679 got to call you out on a point from today's show. 1:42:25.560 --> 1:42:28.920 During your bro Cuomo segment, you said people do hum 1:42:29.000 --> 1:42:32.080 with the sault rifles, just as you avoid undocumented and 1:42:32.160 --> 1:42:34.880 adhered to illegal because the language does matter. Please keep 1:42:34.880 --> 1:42:37.559 a left in check and shoot down the fictitious term 1:42:37.640 --> 1:42:40.519 assault rifle. There's no such thing. Enough of the negativity. 1:42:40.640 --> 1:42:42.479 Keep up the great work, shields high. Look, Terrence, I 1:42:42.600 --> 1:42:44.040 love it, you love the show, and thank you for 1:42:44.120 --> 1:42:47.840 your good faith message here. But I gotta tell you, man, 1:42:48.200 --> 1:42:52.040 I keep going through. What am I gonna say? There's 1:42:52.080 --> 1:42:55.479 a certain class of semi automatic rifles that liberals will 1:42:55.560 --> 1:42:58.320 codify into law and say we're banning them. And it's not. 1:42:58.680 --> 1:43:01.400 It's not all semi automatic rifles because they are a 1:43:01.479 --> 1:43:04.240 cosmetic feed. And you could say, but book, that's so stupid, 1:43:04.400 --> 1:43:07.000 and I say, yes, I know, that's so stupid, but 1:43:07.160 --> 1:43:09.560 it's what happens. So how do I refer to this 1:43:09.760 --> 1:43:13.400 thing that they have created. You know, undocumented is a 1:43:13.800 --> 1:43:17.240 is a nonsense, political, made up political term. It's not 1:43:17.360 --> 1:43:19.680 in any way a legal term. If they pass a 1:43:19.800 --> 1:43:23.840 law that says assault rifles are now banned, and here's 1:43:23.840 --> 1:43:27.439 a list of ten assault rifles. Those things are then 1:43:27.600 --> 1:43:30.320 legally classified as assault rifles at least in that state, 1:43:30.439 --> 1:43:32.800 or if it's federal, then at the federal level that 1:43:33.000 --> 1:43:35.400 that is the term, right. You know, we could say, oh, 1:43:35.520 --> 1:43:40.639 but they're actually they're actually you know, freedom pop pop toys, 1:43:41.360 --> 1:43:44.960 but which actually sounds kind of fun pop pop, freedom 1:43:45.000 --> 1:43:47.840 pop pop. You know, they may they make a boom noise, 1:43:47.960 --> 1:43:51.160 that is true. The one thing about shooting that I 1:43:51.280 --> 1:43:53.800 that I never really I just I don't like super 1:43:53.880 --> 1:43:56.960 I'm just an a grouchy old man. Producer John. We'll 1:43:57.040 --> 1:43:58.920 leave producer Mark out of this because he's like, yeah, 1:43:58.960 --> 1:44:02.120 that's right. I'm a old man and I don't like 1:44:02.280 --> 1:44:05.120 super loud noises. You know, this is the thing. I 1:44:05.400 --> 1:44:08.280 had somebody sitting next to me recently at a restaurant 1:44:08.840 --> 1:44:11.479 who thought that it was okay. And these were adults, 1:44:11.520 --> 1:44:13.920 These are not little kids, people in their in their 1:44:14.040 --> 1:44:16.519 forties and fifties. There's like six of them, and they 1:44:16.640 --> 1:44:19.479 kept showing each other like ha ha, look at this 1:44:19.600 --> 1:44:21.840 YouTube video that I'm gonna blast on my phone, and 1:44:21.920 --> 1:44:24.519 showed other people at a restaurant and I sit here, 1:44:24.560 --> 1:44:26.320 I'm like, okay, I mean I can play this game too. 1:44:26.439 --> 1:44:27.960 What if I showed up at a restaurant I said, 1:44:27.960 --> 1:44:29.800 I like to put a boombox on the table and 1:44:29.960 --> 1:44:33.280 just blast my favorite, my favorite music from the nineties. 1:44:33.800 --> 1:44:35.880 You know, I could sit here and I would just 1:44:36.000 --> 1:44:42.840 be playing the Cardigans and the Cranberries as loud as Yeah, 1:44:42.880 --> 1:44:49.000 that's right, zombie, thombie. I wonder how many people. I 1:44:49.000 --> 1:44:52.280 don't think that many people the audience are catching that one. Unlikely, 1:44:52.920 --> 1:44:58.360 maybe a little bit. They were actually pretty decent, all right, Gina, 1:45:00.120 --> 1:45:05.760 She's not Mina, She's Gina. Hi again. Bucks and discussing 1:45:06.040 --> 1:45:08.439 Bernie Sanders and the fact that he doesn't get it, 1:45:08.520 --> 1:45:11.439 I disagree. I fully believe he gets it and is 1:45:11.479 --> 1:45:13.679 fully aware of all that will happen with complete government 1:45:13.680 --> 1:45:17.200 control of our lives. The housing thing. He knows that 1:45:17.240 --> 1:45:19.960 it will result in Ukraine housing Circa nineteen seventy four 1:45:20.080 --> 1:45:23.639 projects everywhere where there's only misery and government control. As 1:45:23.800 --> 1:45:26.920 with healthcare, education, business, diet, drugs, Bernie wants to saul 1:45:27.000 --> 1:45:29.760 O Lynsky model. He has spent years studying it. It 1:45:29.920 --> 1:45:32.040 is the endgame. While it may seem ignorant. He may 1:45:32.080 --> 1:45:34.960 seem ignorant to the costs and stupid. He is not. 1:45:35.280 --> 1:45:37.639 He just hopes we are shields hid Gina, you could 1:45:37.680 --> 1:45:41.519 be right. It's very hard to know with libs whether 1:45:41.640 --> 1:45:46.000 they just don't know or they don't care about what's 1:45:46.000 --> 1:45:49.680 going to happen with the policies that they want and 1:45:50.040 --> 1:45:53.320 the realities of the things they advocate for.
