Speaker 1: healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you're

Speaker 1: satisfied with it is not in de President of the

Speaker 1: toll free at eight four four nine hundred Buck. That's

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: strong voice, Buck Sexton. Quite a day for the Trump

11
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: White House. Everybody team Buck, welcome, Welcome to the freedom.

12
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Not great to have you an honor and a privilege.

13
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: Oh man, So we got we gotta we gotta do

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: it every but we gotta get into this. I I

15
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: wish I could sit here and say that we were.

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: We would spend our time doing a deep dive into

17
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: a history of of ancient Rome and perhaps trace the

18
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: thread of Western from Plato all the way in ancient Greece,

19
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: through Rome through England, the Magna carta role of the

20
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 1: Church and America, the founding. You know, something really fun

21
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: and interesting and historical and information dense and rich. I think,

22
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: unfortunately that will have to wait for another day, because

23
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: this Russia stuff is just catching fire right now all

24
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: over the place, and I'm I'm I'm struggling a little

25
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: bit with some of it. Here's here's what I would say.

26
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Of course, the Left is overplaying it, as they always do,

27
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: and part of the problem for them is that they've

28
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: been so uh, we've been so desensitized in in a

29
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: way to their allegations about Russia and collusion all that stuff.

30
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: We've been desensitized, and so when there is an actual

31
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: breaking news story that they have on it, some of

32
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: us have a kind of feeling about it. But then again,

33
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: they're not playing to us, right, We're not the audience

34
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: for this. When CNN and New York Times and others

35
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: have something that's news, whether you think it's fair or

36
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: whether you think it's accurate or not, at least it

37
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: qualifies as news as opposed to a lot of what

38
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: they do, which is just a series of uh inquiries

39
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: posing as news interrogatives under the with the facade of

40
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: advancing the story. But it's really just, you know, it

41
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: is just possible Trump committed treason. Question mark, I mean

42
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: you know that that's a thing piece They've been running

43
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: for months in one way or another, but now they're

44
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: actually saying it, so let's go over or they're saying

45
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: it in a in concert with a whole new slew

46
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: of UH allegations and information. So so we we talked

47
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: about this lawyer, and I've been I've been trying to

48
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this. Yesterday I said you,

49
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't buying some of what the initial response from

50
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: the White House was. Look, just just because Trump says it,

51
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: or just because some of the Trump White House hasn't

52
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that that's the way it is or was

53
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: or is gonna be. We see this right, Hey, let's

54
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: have our Russian cyber UH get together where we talk

55
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: about cyber security. Well, if you were saying that Trump's

56
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: idea on that was great over the weekend, by the

57
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: time Monday rolled around, Trump was like, Nah, not gonna happen.

58
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: So what does that mean if you're defending him. So

59
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: even the Trump policy and Trump administration defenders have to

60
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: be careful now because whether they're willing to give the

61
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: president the lee way to fight his own way, and

62
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you do and that's your

63
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: approach this, and I appreciate and respect that he's got

64
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: to do it his way. It doesn't mean that you're

65
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: necessarily going to always be in a position to explain

66
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: or defend what he's doing, because he may change his

67
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: mind on it. So people will get caught up. Sometimes

68
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: I'll say, oh, no, that Trump policy is That's a

69
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: brilliant idea, and then a day later Trump's like, no,

70
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't like that policy idea anymore. It doesn't mean

71
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: that your comment or doesn't mean that that person's comment

72
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: is is wrong or is disingenuous. It just means that

73
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: that that has changed. There's a lot of change with

74
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: this administration. It's easy to get caught out thinking that

75
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: you are being supportive of trump administration agenda and in

76
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: fact you've just gotten a little bit ahead of your

77
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: skis or I guess Trump's gotten ahead of his skis

78
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: and you're the one paying the price for it. But

79
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: not on anything that really matters all that much. On

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: the Russia meeting with this this lawyer, um, we have

81
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: more information about her, but here's the a big bombshell.

82
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: On the day everybody, uh, Donald Trump Jr. Released his

83
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: email chain his correspondence with this, uh, well, with with

84
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: an intermediary who set up the meeting with the lawyer. Okay,

85
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: so that's uh Rob Goldstone, who's a publicist, and this

86
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: is not so this is now well out there. The

87
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: initial let's let's all be very honest about this. The

88
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: initial reaction from the White House when these stories are

89
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: being run by the by the New York Times of

90
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: the weekend was that it had to do with a

91
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: adoption stuff. Well, it turns out that's not really what's

92
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: going on here. And and I I don't know how

93
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: how do we position this? What's the what's the response

94
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: when someone says to you or when someone says, in general, hey,

95
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: why did the Trump administration have to come out and

96
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: say that it was a out adoption. Why couldn't just say, look,

97
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: somebody wanted to give us information. They said they had

98
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: damaging information on Hillary. We're running a political campaign. We

99
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: we had someone vouching for that individual, and we took

100
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: the meeting. You see, this is now this is where

101
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: the media goes all crazy. There's nothing wrong with sitting

102
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: down with Hillary. I'm sorry, Hillary Clinton, Hilarie. No, there's

103
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: nothing wrong sitting down with somebody who says they have information.

104
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot that's wrong with sitting down with Hillary Clinton.

105
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: Just kidding, there's nothing wrong with saying that I was

106
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: sitting down with someone who who tells you that they

107
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: have compromising information on Hillary. Let's remember, everybody, the Trump opposition,

108
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: Democrats and from what I've read, Republicans were part of

109
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: this in the early days as well. We're willing to

110
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: pay for a dossier that made just the most uh

111
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: bizarre and grotesque allegations about the President's behavior and claiming

112
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: the Russians had him compromised. And this is how a

113
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: lot of people found out about what a certain kind

114
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: of shower was because they had to read about this too,

115
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: and it was in this report and BuzzFeed published it

116
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: the dossier as we all call it now. Uh So

117
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: there were dirty tricks and underhanded uh political stuff of

118
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: that's all been a part of this all along, and

119
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: has any is that surprised anybody by the way with

120
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: with the Clintons, do we really think for a moment?

121
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, Hillary starts out with the

122
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: huge advantage of having the entire media in her pocket

123
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: except for one channel and talk radio and some you know,

124
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: some columnists and so forth. But the media is in

125
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: Hillary's pockets, so they're they're doing her bidding in one

126
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: way or another um and Trump is fighting back against

127
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: that machinery. As we know. Did you ever get the sense,

128
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I just for purposes of comparison, and people

129
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: could claim that this is what about daism, but not

130
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: all what about is ms are are unfair or a

131
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: waste or a diversion. And but I'll get into just

132
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: an aside. I'll get into all the the complete medium

133
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: meltdown that's going on right now over this these Trump emails.

134
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: But you know, you never got the sense when Hillary

135
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: was legitimately under a criminal investigation for the use of

136
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: her server. Somehow it was never like a criminal investigation.

137
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: It was a security matter. And as we know from

138
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch talking to James Comey based on the former

139
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 1: FBI director's own testimony, you know it was they were

140
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: they were massaging that issue. There were you know, I'm

141
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: not not gonna let it just I'm not gonna let

142
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: it have poor optics, as the saying goes in d C.

143
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: So that matters right all along here with Trump, they've

144
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: been creating the impression that Trump is under some kind

145
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: of criminal investigation. And now you have a special prosecutor.

146
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: And I want you all to remember I told you

147
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: special prosecutor, bad idea all along. I've been very consistent.

148
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Special prosecutor. Or. I know they called a special counsel

149
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: the same idea. Bad idea that was that was the

150
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: Democrats turning the principles of the Republican Party and the

151
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 1: people in the Republican Party against them, using their principles

152
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: as a weapon against them. Oh don't you guys believe

153
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: in fair play? Well, yeah, I guess you know. Why don't.

154
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: We got a special council and none who everyone will

155
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: know we're fair. The Democrats are just just clapping their

156
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: hands when that. They love that. That's great. So the

157
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: media is very powerful in all of this, and that's

158
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: why when they finally have a story that they're now

159
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 1: able to point to and say, see there's evidence of collusion,

160
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: they couldn't be any happier about this. I mean, it's

161
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: it's wall the wall coverage on this, folks. This is

162
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: the biggest story. And right now, in fact, on CNN

163
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: you have that the d o J will probe Trump

164
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: Junior's disclosed emails. So don Trump Jr. This is at

165
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: the heart of the whole matter. And I know I've

166
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: been We're gonna we're gonna spend a bit of time

167
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: on this because it's important. Um, Donnie Trump Jr. Disclose

168
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: these emails voluntarily. Now, I've also seen the reporting that

169
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: the New York Times had had already been knew about

170
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: the meeting and UM, and that there was going to

171
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: be there was gonna be some kind of information dump.

172
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: And so Donald Trump Jr. Uh just tried to get

173
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: ahead of this by releasing his emails. Now, what everyone's

174
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: pointing to in the emails is that it is clear

175
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: from the exchange that there was some promise or there

176
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a promise of information that was

177
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: damaging to Hillary. And one of the inter one of

178
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: the intermediaries says that a Russian um that a senior

179
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Russian prosecut I'm trying to remember the exact verbiage of it.

180
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: At that essentially, a senior Russian government prosecutor has information

181
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: on on Hillary Clinton that's damaging, that has to do

182
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: with her, uh, has to do with her dealings in Russia.

183
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: So Trump Jr. Response and and says, you know, yeah,

184
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: you know this, this is something that we should look into.

185
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: And they set up, they set up the meeting um

186
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: and now we're told the meeting didn't have there was

187
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: nothing really there and it was no big deal. Uh

188
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: So that's what happened here. The emails came out today. Here,

189
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: by the way, I wanted to give you from Rob

190
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Goldstone to Donald Trump Junior, June six am. Good morning, Amin,

191
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: just called and asked me to contact you with something

192
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: very interesting. The Crown Prosecutor of Russia met with his

193
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: father Arros this morning and in their meeting offered to

194
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: provide the Trump can pain with some official documents and

195
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: information that would incriminate Hillary energy dealings with Russia and

196
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: would be very useful to your father. Background on this.

197
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: By the way, Aiming is a Russian pop star according

198
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: to NBR here and a Ross is his father, who

199
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: is a real estate billionaire who's been called the Donald

200
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: Trump of Russia. He must be an interesting fellow. Uh

201
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: So Trump his friends with them. So look, Trump had

202
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: some uh Trump has some connections to some wealthy Russians,

203
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: as anybody of Trump stature I think would. And an

204
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: individual came forth and said that they had information for

205
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: Donald on Hillary. Why wouldn't Donald Trump Junior take that meeting?

206
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: And but it wasn't just Donald Trump Jr. It was Manafort,

207
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: it was Jared Kushner. Manaphort was the campaign chairman at

208
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: the time. And you know, there's some there's a little

209
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: bit of a little bit of a shade, a little

210
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: bit of shadiness that I think he sents with Manafort.

211
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm just guys, I'm keeping it real. Uh, But they

212
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they take the meeting? So the meeting is fine.

213
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: I have no problem with them taking this meeting and

214
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: all of the all of the oh my gosh, goodness, gracious,

215
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: how could they want to sit down for get opposition

216
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: research on Hillary? I mean, you know they've how many

217
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: different times have journalists come out and before that, you know,

218
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: with either Hillary I'm sure and her oppo team feeding

219
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: them the information saying that you know, Trump did this

220
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: that was illegal, to that that was illegal. I mean,

221
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: there are people that are working hand in glove with

222
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: journalists to leak them information that's classified specifically to hurt

223
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign. I mean, look, it's an all out

224
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: political It's an all out political war and it has

225
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: been all along. So yeah, are you gonna take this meeting? Sure?

226
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: I would. I would have taken the meeting if I

227
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: was in the shoes of I'm sure the very expensive

228
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: shoes of Donald Trump Jr. Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort.

229
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: Here's what I don't get, And I don't know if

230
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: any of you wanna toss an answer out there for

231
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: me on the lines. But I don't pretend to have

232
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: all the answers here because I don't know what's going on.

233
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is diversion, if it's smoke screen,

234
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: or if it's just a blunder from some of the

235
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: Trump people. But why let it get to this point,

236
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: because I mean, the media is in full on freak

237
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: out right now. I mean, here, here's CNN's Jake Tapper,

238
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: the closest thing that the mainstream media has right now

239
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: in the anti Trump resistance to you know, he's the

240
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: left Walter Cronkite right now and all this stuff, and

241
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: here's what he had to say today. This can't be

242
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: dismissed as people out to get Donald Jake Trump Jr.

243
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: Or fake news. This is evidence of willingness to commit collusion.

244
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: That's what this is on its face. Now, maybe there's

245
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: an explanation for it, and if that's true, we can

246
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: talk about that. But somebody's saying the Russian government wants

247
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: to help your dad with damaging information on Hillary Clanson

248
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump Jr. Saying I love it and then

249
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: taking the meeting. That is a willingness to work with

250
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: the Russian government to get damaging information on Hillary Clinton. Okay,

251
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: just let's just note evidence of willingness to commit collusion.

252
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: To say, to commit has an implication that there's a

253
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: a legal jeopardy attached to it, or or it creates

254
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: the connotation of legal wrongdoing. These are private citizens. They

255
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: can sit down and talk to some Russian about they

256
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: say they got bad stuff on Hillary. There's nothing that

257
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: can commit collusion collusion. Now they're now they're blending the terms.

258
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: Now they're intentionally muddying the waters to get a ground

259
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: swell of outrage going against Trump and you know, fuel

260
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: the Special Council investigation even more. Because here's the reality

261
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: of this, commit collusion. Collusion is not a crime at all.

262
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: There's nothing that's sitting down with this Russian to find

263
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: out bad stuff about Hillary. It doesn't matter where it

264
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: came from. They're they're sitting down with a four with

265
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: a foreign nationals says they've got information that they should hear.

266
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: They're private citizens, they're running a political campaign. Why can't

267
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: they sit and here that? Do you mean? Do journalists

268
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: ever do any any thinking about this before they get

269
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: all outraged and freak out? Or is it just a collusion?

270
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: What does it a mean? Collusion has become like a

271
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: dirty word. All right? By the way, did you have

272
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: any answers about what you think the Trump campaign has

273
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: been up to the last few days? He wasn't intentional?

274
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: Do they just make a mistake? Is there something they're

275
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: trying to hide? I don't I'm asking you eight four

276
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: four to five, eight four four nine hundred buck. We've

277
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: got more on this, and certainly more on the reaction

278
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump Jr. Releasing those emails that show that

279
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: some Russians wanted to tell the Trump something. That's all

280
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: we know so far. We'll be right back. Some calls

281
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Kent in North carolinat w p T I what's going on? Kent? Hey,

282
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: good to talk with you. You two, sir, had a

283
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: quick comment, Uh, just a quick comment about that, Donald

284
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: Trump Jr. I think they should just flip it out

285
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: in the media and just say, hey, we did me

286
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: with the Russians, and this is what they provided, and

287
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: lay out all the information that they provided. We chose

288
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: not to use it, or we chose to use it

289
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: in this way and that way the eyes go back

290
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: to the Clinton campaign and take it off the Trump campaign. No,

291
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: I I come, look, and I totally agree with you,

292
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: but and I'm asking you a question that I don't

293
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: have an answer for, so I can't expect you or

294
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: anyone else to have an answer for because I'm not

295
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: sure anyone really knows other than the people involved. But

296
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, man, to me, it seems like, why say

297
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: that it was about an adoption it was about adoption

298
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: when when clearly there was already a paper trail saying

299
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: that it was about or you know, digital paper paper

300
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: trail saying that it had to do with APPO on Hillary.

301
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Oppo one Hillary is completely legitimate. There's no

302
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: problem with that. Yeah, that is the problem that the

303
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: Trump folks tamers. They have to keep backing up on things.

304
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: I think if they just had a straightforward response, this

305
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: is what we did. This is why we did it.

306
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: He's a businessman. He understands clarity. He needs to make

307
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: sure that the folks respond to these uh questions with

308
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: the media are straightforward as well. Uh, I hear you, man, Ken,

309
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, go ahead. I think there's no hiding behind this. Um.

310
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: Just be straightforward and honest speech to the people like

311
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: you did on the campaign. To be clear, be sincere,

312
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: be honest. Yeah, no, I think that. I look, I

313
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: think that's really good advice. Thank you, Ken for calling

314
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: in from North Carolina. I look here, here's where I'm

315
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: on this. I'm starting to think and look Trump, what

316
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: Trump did defeating Hillary, it's amazing, right, And so for me,

317
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: a little old radio radio, you know, guy here on

318
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt, to be given advice on PR to

319
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: somebody that's been in the trenches like Donald Trump has

320
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: for decades, forget about running for president, just in general

321
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: and New York with the tabloids and everything else. You know,

322
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'm getting a little out of my depth

323
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: with that, but I would just say this, I'm starting

324
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: to feel like Trump. Part of the problem is that

325
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't realize that he can't wait out a new

326
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: there's no there's no waiting out a new cycle with him.

327
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: It's not like, okay, we let we we lose that,

328
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: we lose today's new cycle, tomorrow will drop out and

329
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: then we can come back with a different narrative. Every

330
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: mistake the left, the media, they sees on every mistake

331
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: that he makes, and they added up on the board

332
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: and they go back to it right away. So it's

333
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: cumulative and I don't think Trump's used to dealing with that.

334
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: But I've got a lot more on this team, so

335
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: stay with it. The Freedom Hunt rocks online too. You

00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: and Virginia w p T I. What are your thoughts

340
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: on this Trump junior email release an attempted Russia collusion?

341
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: Sir uh, Well, I haven't agree with you, Hunter sent

342
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: Buck uh. When they came out and said, you know what,

343
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna meeting with this Russian contact for some kind

344
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: of adoption. Now you're going whoa. And now they're saying,

345
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: you know, the dirt stuff they went in the stake.

346
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: I think somebody's gonna think maybe what I feel, everybody

347
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: should just tweet and then nobody could say nothing. You

348
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: just keep on going with that, even all these all

349
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: the people under him and stuff. I'm thinking now that

350
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: he's people underneath him. I'm not thinking about anything. Right.

351
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: They use the battle approach. You come in and say

352
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: what you want to say, and you know, you know

353
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: you wanna, you know, get things across because you can't.

354
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: You can't reput the guy because he just comes out

355
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: and says it. But now you know you're a humber

356
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: sent on. Why did they say that? That is? It

357
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: just gets you a little annoyed, And you know, I

358
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: don't know about done. Well. He gives the other side, Bob,

359
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: It gives the other side a very useful tool to

360
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: smack people like you and me with. And we're talking

361
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: to anybody about this or trying to trying to hold

362
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: hold strong on the on the issue and hold the

363
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: line and say, oh, why they lie about the adoption?

364
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: They go, Okay, look, I don't know why they did that.

365
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: But sitting down to find out bad stuff about a

366
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: Hillary from from anybody, I mean, you know, the guy,

367
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 1: the guy that supposedly put together the the dossier was

368
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: he was he was a foreigner, right, I mean, this

369
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: is so what's the big deal? But why lie about it? Yeah,

370
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. They just say it and say, hey,

371
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: we know she's done things wrong. Hillary, What are you

372
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: just saying? Hey, we wanted to find out you know,

373
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: what was what was turning here? And uh, you know,

374
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: I just don't understand why they went this adoption route.

375
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. I'm just uh, you know,

376
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: I think maybe Donald should just tweet and forget about

377
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: everything else, just move on, as they say, Yeah, Harry

378
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: Man shields high about thanks for calling in. Here's what

379
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: Sarah Huckaby Sanders had to say about it earlier today.

380
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: I have a quick, uh statement that I'll read from

381
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: the president. Um My son is a high, high quality person,

382
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: and I applaud his transparency. And beyond that, I'm gonna

383
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: have to refer everything on this matter to John Junior's

384
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: counsel and outside council and won't have anything else say

385
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: I would be on that today. That's uh, that's not

386
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: gonna stop the feeding frenzy here at all. In fact,

387
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: in a sense that unfortunately is going to just the

388
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: we're not going to talk more about this line, that

389
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: that's gonna that's gonna chum the water, so to speak,

390
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: and uh off. In the off camera press briefing, Sarahuckaby

391
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: Sanders also said the following that I think is this

392
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 1: is not going to go away. So I think that

393
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: the President is um, I would say, frustrated with the

394
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: process of the fact that um, this continues to be

395
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: an issue, and he would love for us to be

396
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: focused on things like justin mentioned the economy, on healthcare,

397
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: on tax reform, on infrastructure, and that's the place that

398
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: his mind is and that's what he'd like to be discussing.

399
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: You know, I I completely agree with Ms Ms Hugaby

400
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: Sanders here in that it would be so much better

401
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: for the American people and it's so much more worthwhile

402
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: for all of us to have have the have the

403
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: media focus the ongoing conversation, you know, the time that

404
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: we can all spend as as citizens of this great

405
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: republic to look into issues, to understand them better and

406
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: to hopefully push our elected representatives to make smarter decisions.

407
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: And at the grassroots and local level, UH to do

408
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: what we can in our own communities to just just

409
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: make this country better, make this country great or greater,

410
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: I should say, um, and you know the Russia things,

411
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: not that this is the biggest story that they've run

412
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: on Russia really since Flynn resigned or was fired. Well, yeah,

413
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: I was fired. Uh and that whole that whole debacle.

414
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: This is the biggest, the biggest hit I think the

415
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: administration has taken is today. Let's just call it like

416
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 1: it is. Everyone. It's not useful to pretend that this

417
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: isn't gonna be difficult for the administration. That's not to

418
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: say that I think that the underlying allegations true. And

419
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: but I need to get to what the allegations are

420
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: from the Democrats and left. I will do that, and

421
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: just a just a minute here, but I do want

422
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: to get to one more of our cars, because I

423
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: know a lot of people have been trying to get

424
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: in here. Brantley in Mississippi on w b V could

425
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: have you on. Hey, Hey, how you doing Brandley? Good? Good?

426
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good man? What's on your mind? Oh?

427
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: The coloim and the Donald, the Donald the email or whatever? Yeah,

428
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Jr. He released these emails? Yeah, yeah, oh

429
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: what about that? I mean, I mean stuff. Why did

430
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: he do it? I mean he did it because I

431
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: think he realized that there was more information that was

432
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: going to come out about the meeting. And here's what

433
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: I here's what I think someone inside the Trump inner

434
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: circle is. And people have been saying this for a while,

435
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: someone inside the Trump inner circle, uh is betraying the

436
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: Trump's um So you know you've got right now, for example,

437
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: on on Drudge Report, a link that there's a leak

438
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: for the league. I mean, sorry, uh, leaks about who

439
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: the prospective leaker? Maybe, but I don't. I think the

440
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: administration responded on this infigured, what was a private conversation

441
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: and it's no one's business, and so we'll say whatever

442
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: about it. And they picked one, they picked a small

443
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: part of the conversation and said that's what it was

444
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: really about. But I think they got wins somehow that

445
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 1: the press Brantley knew that there had been this exchange

446
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: of hey, and you you know, we want to give

447
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: you some damaging info on Hillary. And that's where this

448
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: so and so Donald Trump Jr. Wanted to get ahead

449
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: of it. You know what I mean is does that

450
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: make sense? So he so he's like, look alright, fine,

451
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: I'll tell everybody what's going on. This is public relations. Honestly,

452
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: it's public relations triage one oh one, but it is

453
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: public relations basics, so that's why. Uh. And and it

454
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: does not look good right now. That doesn't mean that

455
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: it doesn't look good in terms of how they're handling it.

456
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that the deeper allegations about Russia and

457
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: Russia hacking election and all that are true. But did

458
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: I did I explain that pretty decently? Brandley? What do

459
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: you think? Yes, sir, yes, sir, all right, yes, sir.

460
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: I appreciate your time. Man, thank you for listening my show.

461
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: Shields Tie Brandley. Um, and we got one more genis

462
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: up in Massachusetts. W k o X. What's up? Jennis?

463
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: Him back with you talk to you. I'll call because

464
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: I was looking up your phone number. So I don't

465
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: know if I'm repeating it. But um, you keep saying

466
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: why they are they saying that the meeting was about adoption,

467
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: But that's my interesting that's what was discussed. That she

468
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to discuss anything else. Well, yeah, but the

469
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: the pretext for the meeting wasn't about adoption, right, So

470
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: that's that's where this gets into Uh, it seems jan

471
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: is dishonest, right, Like if you and I we're gonna

472
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: sit down to uh to have a meeting about um,

473
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, if we were gonna have a meeting about

474
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: how we're gonna buy a house together. But during that

475
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: meeting we also discussed how you know, I I like

476
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: this new coffee machine that I just bought. And someone said,

477
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: what was your meeting about? And I said, well, it

478
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: was about the coffee machine. That's not really you know

479
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's not really true. Um. So I

480
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: mean it's not a lie, but it's kind of a

481
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: lie of omission or it's kind of a misstatement of

482
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: what's going on. So I just remember there's no crime

483
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: here that I'm aware of that this this is not

484
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: about criminality. Uh, It's about fighting a very difficult political

485
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: campaign and you know, taking a chance on somebody that

486
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: may have information that will damage your opponent. But this,

487
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: this is what op OPA research involves people like this

488
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: all the time. That's why I don't understand why I

489
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: think the Trump's Jane has made this or Trump Junior

490
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: and the Trump response has made this worse than it

491
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: would have been. You know what I'm saying if they

492
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 1: just said, yeah, we took we took a meeting. But

493
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: I think because the person was Russian and all the

494
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: Russia stories, they didn't want to talk about it. But

495
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: didn't he come out when he spoke about it yesterday,

496
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: I thought he said that she called the meeting with

497
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: the pretense that she hired information against Hillary and then

498
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: all she wanted to do was talk about abortion soil.

499
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he did mention why he originally had the meeting. Yeah,

500
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: but that wasn't the that wasn't the initial reason given.

501
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, over the weekend. I guess it was on Saturday,

502
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: Sunday and going into into the news cycle on Monday,

503
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: and from the email exchange, there is a clear statement

504
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: made by a Russian that the Russian government is trying to, uh,

505
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, the Russian government is supporting in some way

506
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: or would like to support Trump's uh you know, Trump's campaign. Now,

507
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: that's not an official statement from the Russian government. Somebody

508
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: who says the Russian government favors Trump, right, I mean,

509
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, we we can all say this about any

510
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: number of different countries. Just you can pick one and say, well,

511
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: I think they'd rather have this political candidate win a

512
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: US election or that one. But I think that I

513
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: think that this is a mostly self inflicted wound for

514
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: the administration. I don't think it's a huge one, but

515
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: it's it's not savvy Janice, Um, you know, why why

516
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: not come clean right away? Because they've now had to

517
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: come clean, they've had to release the email exchange. The

518
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: delay looks problematic, right, It's not like they could delay

519
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: this over six months. That's the Clinton technique. Just delay

520
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: something for so long that people forget what you're even

521
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,719
Speaker 1: trying to find out about. Delaying it a day in

522
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: this new cycle, I think is is damaging. It's problematic.

523
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: So but look, if you disagree, you think I'm wrong

524
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: on this one. I do not pretend to to have

525
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: a lockdown on what's going on here. I didn't hear

526
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: what came out. I didn't realize anything came out over

527
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: the weekend. I was away and I didn't hear. Sure,

528
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: well you should. You can check out those emails, Jannis.

529
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, when you see the email chain, you'll

530
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: see you're saying, you tell the email chain. Okay, yeah,

531
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean the email chain doesn't it doesn't look Can

532
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: we agree the email chain doesn't look great. I'm not

533
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: saying it's illegal or it's a huge deal. It doesn't

534
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: look great though. But the other thing was this attorney.

535
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: They keep saying she was a government attorney, but she

536
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: says she wasn't. And what's the truth on that. That's

537
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: a great question. That's a great great By the way,

538
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: thank you for calling in, Jennie Yield, say, here is

539
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: the here's the lawyer talking about whether she has a

540
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: connection to Russia. What was the purpose of that meeting?

541
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: I never knew who else would be attending the meeting.

542
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: All I knew that Mr Donald Trump Jr. Was willin

543
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: to meet with me. It appears that they were going

544
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: to be told some information that you had about the DNS.

545
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: See how did they get that impression? It's quite possible

546
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: that maybe they were looking for such information they wanted

547
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: it so badly. Have you ever worked for the Russian government?

548
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: Do you have connections to the Russian government? Yep, I

549
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: know what that means. And nit knit she says, no,

550
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Do you believe her? I don't know. Up to you,

551
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: Russia is a very different place than America in terms

552
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: of well a whole lot of things. My friends, who's

553
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: involved with and has connections to the government, who doesn't.

554
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, this whole thing looks shady though

555
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: it is and it is a like I said, feeding

556
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: frenzy for the left wing media and the Trump The

557
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: Trump squad here did not help themselves out with how

558
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: this was handled. We got to talk to about where

559
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: they're going too far on this and where they're gonna

560
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: go next, where they're going to push the narrative. Because

561
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: I have some feelings on I've I have feelings. I

562
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: always have feelings. No, I mean I have a sense.

563
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: I have some assessment of where I think that's all going.

564
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: But you have to stay with me through this break

565
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you you're back. So we've got Tim Caine,

566
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: who was the vice presidential candidate, saying that this is

567
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 1: um I can't close to this is this is now

568
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: turning into an investigation of treason. Apparently play that please

569
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: you think this treason? That the investigation it's not. Nothing

570
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: has proven yet, but we're now beyond obstruction of justice

571
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: in terms of what's being investigated. This is moving into perjury,

572
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: false statements, and even in a potentially treason, potentially treason

573
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: there you go. I would like to note that that

574
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: treason has a very specific legal definition and has to

575
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: do with aiding an enemy in a time of of war.

576
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: How anyone would think that what we've seen so far

577
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: would go anywhere near that that level is beyond my understanding,

578
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: um or is beyond my ability to extrapolate. Uh. But

579
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Tim Caine, Senator from Virginia is clearly trying to add

580
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: right now to the anti Trump momentum, and it is um.

581
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: It is a thing that a campaign you got to

582
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: figure and not starting at the campaign. The administration has

583
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: got to figure out how they're gonna how they're gonna

584
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: handle this. Um. You've got Republicans too on this one.

585
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham, here's what he had to say. Anytime you're

586
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: in a campaign and you get an offer from a

587
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: foreign government to help your campaign, to answer is no.

588
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: So I don't know what Mr Trump Junior's version of

589
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: the facts are. I definitely he has to testify. That

590
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: email is disturbing. But what is equally odd to me

591
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: is that the person they met with new absolutely nothing.

592
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: So I don't know why they would pick somebody for

593
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: him to meet with. It didn't have any information about

594
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: the Clinton campaign. But on its face, this is very problematic.

595
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: We cannot allow foreign governments to reach out to anybody's

596
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: campaign and say we'd like to help you. That is

597
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: a non starter. But is she Why are we saying

598
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: that she is a foreign government this vesil Nitskaya, according

599
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: to The New York Times, veslant Sky, Now that's the

600
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 1: New York Times. Keep that in mind. Veslanitzky has ties

601
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: to the Kremlin involved quote clients including state owned businesses

602
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: and a senior government official son. Her activities and associations

603
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: had previously drawn the attention of the FBI, according to

604
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: a former senior law enforcement official. Vez al Nitskaya was

605
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: also once married to a Russian transportation official. According to

606
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: the New York Times, not exactly, you know, not not

607
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: exactly Putin's, you know, minister of defense or something here.

608
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why we're making the jump

609
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: to this was that they could know. Now, look, I

610
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: understand people who are who are Russia, students of Russia

611
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: and very familiar with how that country operates, may be

612
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: saying right now, hold on a second buck. You know,

613
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: she could have been sent on government business in a

614
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: civilian sort of civilian garb if you will, she could

615
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: have been sent there the government or a government officials

616
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: in Russia could say, hey, ms vesl Nitskaya, it's a

617
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: fun name to say, Go tell the Trump campaign X.

618
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: But did the Trump campaign really would they have known that?

619
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: You know, why was Donald Trump Junior even involved in this?

620
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: I think as a as a is a fair question

621
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: to ask. Uh. The allegation though, that this is a

622
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: a foreign government campaign contribution. I mean, that's come on,

623
00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. If we're now going to say that information

624
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: is a thing of monetary value when it comes to statute, well, um,

625
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: then we're causing we're creating all kinds of First Amendment

626
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: problems for ourselves right off the bat. I don't I

627
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: don't see that as being anywhere near a reality. Um,

628
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: but this whole story has gotten a whole lot more

629
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: difficult for the administration. I think that much at this

630
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: point is true. And you've got oh, you know, he's

631
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: excited about this, Podesta, the Clinton confidante and former Clinton

632
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,479
Speaker 1: campaign manager of the failed Hillary Clinton campaign. Here's here's

633
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: what he was saying about this. He's excited. No, it's

634
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: starting to smell more and more like collusion to I

635
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: think the public. But most importantly, we really need to

636
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: get the fact straight on this. Okay, I mean I

637
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: actually agree we need to get a fact straight on this.

638
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: I would like to get the facts straight. I'd like

639
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign to really just we need to know

640
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: what's going on here. Um, not because I think there's

641
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: anything nefarious or bad going on. As I said, I

642
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: don't see a problem with the meeting. And someone says,

643
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: I got stuff to tell you about Hillary Clinton, what

644
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: are you gonna say? No, maybe maybe you were sent

645
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: here by the government. They don't how do they know.

646
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: They don't know. They just know that someone says they

647
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: got bad info about Hillary. I'm just wondering. So if

648
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: you get if you're, you know, a political campaign, and

649
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: you get an anonymous tip that somebody's you know, I

650
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: don't know, your political opponent has a has a second

651
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: family that nobody knows about that he's you know, been

652
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: sort of hiding on the side, and you go find

653
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: that out. It turns out that some foreign government sent

654
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: you that tip unbeknownst to you. Is is that a

655
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: foreign campaign contribution? I mean, think where does that end? Right?

656
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: So that's I don't. I don't buy that at all.

657
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: I just why couldn't they just tell us this right

658
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: right from the get go. I think that they you know,

659
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: you see this, by the way, a lot of a

660
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: lot of criminal court proceedings, someone didn't do anything wrong,

661
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: but they just they think someone might sound a little

662
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: the bad, so they don't really tell everything, and then

663
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: they get themselves into trouble. I mean, this isn't a

664
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: criminal proceeding yet, but it doesn't look so great. He's

665
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: holding the line for America, bucket and his back. Welcome back, everyone.

666
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: We've got someone who needs no introduction, but I'll give

667
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 1: her one anyway. Tommy Larryn. She is a conservative political commentator,

668
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: has taken the world of political commentary by storm the

669
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: last few years, and she's a friend of mine and

670
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: former Blaze colleague. Great to have you on, Tommy, Thanks

671
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: so much for giving us a ring. Oh it's been

672
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: too long, and now both of us are on the

673
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: other side. And you know, it's a great time to

674
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: be an American. It is a great time to be

675
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: an American. However, today there are a lot of folks

676
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: who were saying some pretty tough stuff about the presidency Tommy, Now,

677
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: you make no secret about being a Trump supporter. You

678
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: have not made any secret by that from the beginning.

679
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: In fact, you and I, it should be noted, were

680
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: the only two that I knew of at the Blaze

681
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: at the time who were openly supporting Trump against against Hillary. So, UM,

682
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: tell me what you think what's real and what's not

683
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: with all this Donald Trump Junior Russia meeting collusion. You've

684
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: got people talking about trees and Tommy, it's crazy out there. Well,

685
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: of course they are. And these are the same folks

686
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: that you know told us time after time that Hillary's

687
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: email scandal was nothing burger, that we shouldn't discuss it.

688
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: And now of course they found something depend on a

689
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: member of the Trump family. So they're not going to

690
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 1: let this go. They've been trying to prove this Russia

691
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: thing for months because it's their way of avoiding the

692
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: results of the election. So I see it continuing. But

693
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: the sad thing is is they're so obsessed with it.

694
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: They think that average everyday Americans are obsessed with it.

695
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know about you, Buck, but that's not

696
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: what my family really cares about. At the end of

697
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: the day, they really care about jobs, economy, immigration, and

698
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: national security. I think that the media overall can't get

699
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: used to this new reality where they're their outrage and

700
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: and pearl clutching and oh, good heavens, how could he

701
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: do that? It doesn't matter how many times they say it,

702
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: or or how much they feign fainting. Uh, it doesn't work.

703
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: People don't really at least the people that voted for

704
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: Trump in the first place, don't care to your point

705
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: about your family and what they do care about. The

706
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: media seems to have forgotten that nothing really has changed

707
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: from that respect. People actually want there to be a

708
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: successful Trump agenda, and they want the implementation of it.

709
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: But I think that the media is starting to get

710
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: the sense. I mean, I know that the ratings for

711
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: CNN have been lackluster recently, well, of course, and I

712
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: know that you've been on that network before, and you

713
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: and I've worked for them for two years. Tommy, I'm

714
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: still recovering. It's traumatic, I know. I mean, they usually

715
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: bring conservatives on to use as a punching bag, but

716
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: you know that's either here nor there. CNN is failing

717
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: because CNN has been pushing this Russian narrative. I gotta

718
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: tell you. I was in the airport out the delayed

719
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: flight a couple of weeks ago, trying to make my

720
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: way to Spokane, Washington first speech, and I had to

721
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: watch CNN. The fact that they still play at an

722
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: airport is sickening, but they do. So I was sitting

723
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: there for five hours and they covered two things. They

724
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: covered climate change and they covered Russia collusion. And that

725
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: was it, as if nothing else was going on in

726
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: the world. And that CNN. We're speaking of Tommy Layin everyone.

727
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: She is a political phenomen and commentator on all things,

728
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: all things America. Uh so, Tommy, you have done a

729
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: video recently about snowflake is M tell us about that?

730
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: What is this condition known as snowflake is? Um? Well,

731
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that CNN obviously suffers from it,

732
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: and they're a great example. But again, you think that

733
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: the snowflakes would have given it up. I thought, you know,

734
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: they would do their marches during the inauguration. I thought

735
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: that maybe it would move in for a month or two,

736
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: and then we thought that they would melt when spring

737
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: was coming. And of course they're still sticking around with

738
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: their riots and their marches on everything from taxes to science,

739
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: to gay pride, whatever it is, it turns into an

740
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: anti Trump march at the end of the day. But

741
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I mean, it's snowflakes. Is accepted

742
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: except the reality. Why do they want? I'm America have failed.

743
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: They have to accept the reality that if they want

744
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: President Trump to fail, they want the United States of

745
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: America to fail. I didn't want Barack Obama to fail.

746
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he did, but I didn't want that because I

747
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: wanted what was best for my country. And these snowflakes

748
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: can't wrap their minds around it. What are all the

749
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: protests about? In your mind? I mean, why do we

750
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: have all these marches, the March for women, the March

751
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: for science, the March for any number of things. They

752
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: all have an anti Trump, uh and an anti Trump

753
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: underpinning where there's anti Trump stuff going on at them.

754
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: But it seems to me like this is really just

755
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: a part of a culture that the left has, a

756
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: culture of the progressives, of a culture of protesting, making

757
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: a lot of noise, and it's really about virtue signaling

758
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: and self aggrandizement. But I want to know what your

759
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: take is. Well, of course, because they think that that

760
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: is their version of the civil rights movement. That's their

761
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: their version of a social justice movement. And it's just

762
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: gathering the streets with s Trump signs. I mean that

763
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: that's the best that they have and wearing stupid hats.

764
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: It's really sad to see what you know, their activism

765
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: has become. But if anything, from protesting conservative speakers on

766
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: college campuses, they will riot for anything and everything. They'll

767
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: ride against the police, they'll ride against President Trump, they'll

768
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: ride against conservative speakers. It is for attention, and it's

769
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: said that it's become that way, and it's sad that

770
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: so many of them are out there exercising their first

771
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: Amendment against the first Senment of others. That's to me,

772
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: I think the most ironic part. And then they also

773
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: protest capitalism mean while using their iPhones seven, which is

774
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: another ironic part. But don't tell them that because it

775
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: makes them very upset. Tommy, I know that usually when

776
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: we see any news story about what's going on in

777
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: college campuses, it's because the most left wing, craziest, most

778
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: progressive stuff imaginable is going on any given campus. Right

779
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: that there there's a day without or a day that

780
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: that bands white students from the campus for example. You

781
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: know that happened up in Washington State, but people I

782
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: think also should hear. And I know you're in touch

783
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: with uh folks on campus US the country. You have

784
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,839
Speaker 1: a very large college age and millennial following. There are

785
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: people who support Trump who are in college and and

786
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 1: they are still part of this movement. And I just

787
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: wanted you to speak to that fromonent for everyone listening

788
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: that it's not every young person thinks that they should

789
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: be walking around as as you say, suffering from snowflake

790
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,880
Speaker 1: ism and talking about man splaining and how gender is

791
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 1: non binary and all this other and and we're ready

792
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: for Hillary, right, there is another side and we don't

793
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 1: ever hear about it, but I know you do. Oh,

794
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: there are so many Trump supporters on college campuses, and

795
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: there's so many Trump supporters out there in blue states

796
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: as well. And I travel around the country and the speeches,

797
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: and I speak to a lot of conservatives, but a

798
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: lot of folks as well that we call them, you know,

799
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: the whisper voters. They're afraid to say that their Trump

800
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: supporters because honestly, look at the left, the alt left

801
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: is deranged. They will hurt you if you're a Trump supporter.

802
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: So there are many out there that unfortunately they're not

803
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: as fearless as I am, that they are afraid for

804
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: their physical being if they say that they are a

805
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: Trump supporter, republic and a conservative or anyone, it thinks

806
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 1: outside of that box because it's the unloving and intolerant left.

807
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: But they exist all over and for me, that's my

808
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 1: mission is to be a voice for them so they

809
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: can point to someone and say someone saying things that

810
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: we're too afraid to say, and maybe they'll get the

811
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: courage to say it themselves. That's my goal, That's what

812
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: I hope for Now, Tommy, you are speaking about the

813
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: left and courage and facing off against people. Uh, you're

814
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: going toe to toe with none other than Chelsea Handler

815
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: coming up here at Politic Con. Tell everybody about this. Well,

816
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm really excited because finally I get to debate someone

817
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: that's just a middle aged white woman, so she can't

818
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: really pull any cards on me. I'm I'm really excited

819
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: about it because she can't pull you know, I'm a

820
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: woman as well, for both white so it's nice to

821
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: at least feel like maybe haven't even playing field. But

822
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: for me I like to take on a challenge. I

823
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: like to have the conversation. Um'm not sure exactly what

824
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: she's gonna want to talk about. I have a feeling

825
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: it's not going to be like in depth foreign policy,

826
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: but you never know, maybe she'll surprise me. I just

827
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: think it's good to have conserve times that are out

828
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: there that are willing to go out against the all

829
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 1: left and go up against these Hollywood liberals because they

830
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: so for so long they go unchallenged. What are the

831
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: three areas Tommy, two or three? Give me two or

832
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: three that if you were able to set the agenda

833
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: for this debate. Remember Tommy Laren has scared off against

834
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: Chelsea Handler at politic Con July, which is in Pasadena, California.

835
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: I assume they're gonna live stream to right Tommy, they

836
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: usually do. It'll be live stream so you can all

837
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 1: watch this live as it happens, and I highly recommend

838
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to I would say popcorn, but I'm really

839
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: more of a of a milk and dark chocolate guy.

840
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: But I will be watching this live stream, so I

841
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: suggest you all do the same. But Tommy, if you

842
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: got to set the agenda for the debate, and it

843
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: was actually on substance, which we both know. She's probably

844
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna say some nasty things to you, but I know

845
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna stand your ground and do your thing.

846
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: But what would be the policy areas that you think

847
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 1: would be most worthwhile for you to square off against

848
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: a a somewhat revered leftist female comedian. Well, first of all,

849
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: my my first question for her is going to be

850
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: I don't even understand why she's still here because she

851
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: was one of them that vowed to leave the country

852
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: of President Trump was elected. So now we have a

853
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,280
Speaker 1: President Trump, she's still living here and rooting the benefits

854
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: of being an American. So first question is why the

855
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: hell are you still here? And and more than that,

856
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: it's these leftists that they try to pull on the

857
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 1: emotional heart strings, and I've seen Chelsea Handler do this

858
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: on a number of occasions. They like to talk about

859
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: illegal immigration, like to talk about how it's cruel to

860
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: deport people who I'd like to ask her a question,

861
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: how are illegal immigrants feel about illegal immigrants that don't

862
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: respect the rule of law? And then they align cut

863
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: in front of them, giving a big as you to

864
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: everyone has come to this country legally. I'd like to

865
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 1: ask her about that. I like to ask her if

866
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: she likes Serian refugees to be her personal security, you know,

867
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: military age men. I'd ask her why we don't have them,

868
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, patrolling around her home and keeping her safe.

869
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 1: Because these Hollywood liberals, they don't live in the world

870
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 1: that you and I exist in. They live in a bubble.

871
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: So all these things that they talk about, all these

872
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: emotional please they're baseless because they don't have to confront

873
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: any of them. Tommy, I know you've given us a

874
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: lot of time. I just have one more for you

875
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: before we let you get back to everything you gotta do.

876
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: Uh across the country are here talking to people about

877
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: every all this stuff, um Trump, Trump administration, Trump agenda.

878
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: Are you worried or or or is this just part

879
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: of the storm. I'm not worried, you know. I think

880
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: he's done some great things. Of course the industream media

881
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 1: is not going to highlight any of it. But he's

882
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: done so much in such a short amount of time.

883
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of things left to do and

884
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 1: hoping we can get back to an America First agenda.

885
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: But I was really happy with g twenty. I was

886
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: happy with how he performed. I was happy with his message,

887
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: and I do think that this president wants to put

888
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: America first and it's about dang time, and I'm happy

889
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: about it. I think good things to come. The One

890
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 1: and Only the Dynamo herself, my friend Tommy, Lara and everybody.

891
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 1: Tommy great to have you come back anytime. Of course,

00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:43,439
Speaker 1: are going to hit a break. We'll be back right after.

894
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,959
Speaker 1: So we've got a little preview here of the much

895
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: anticipated Sean Hannity UH interview tonight. By the way, you know,

896
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: Sean was one of the guys early on in my

897
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: career who really gave me, gave me a shot by

898
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: letting me fill in for him on radio, and in fact,

899
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: that went so well, and Shawn's team was so supportive

900
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: of my efforts standing in for him on radio that

901
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: Russia's team then picked me up, which was which was great,

902
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,959
Speaker 1: But that was only because Sean and his people gave

903
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: gave Russia and the folks over there that the thumbs up.

904
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 1: So just as an aside, something you know, you gotta

Speaker 1: be you gotta be grateful in this business. To the

906

00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 1: so clearly they're they're giving a preview here. Donald Trump Jr.

914
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: Acknowledged in an exclusive interview with Fox News Hannity that

915
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: he quote probably would have done things a little differently

916
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: when he met with the Russian attorney during his father's

917
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: presidential campaign in June. However, the president's eldest son also

918
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: described the meeting as a nothing, telling Fox News of

919
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,439
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, quote, I wouldn't have even remembered it until

920
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 1: you started scouring through this stuff. It was literally just

921
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: a wasted twenty minutes, which was a shame. So I

922
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: just before anyone calls it and yells at me and

923
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 1: says that I'm um, I think of I once once

924
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: a gentleman said I was I was waffling or something. Um,

925
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: I know, we got Donald Trump Jor himself saying, yeah,

926
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: this was not that I did not handle this aspect

927
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: of it the way I would have in retrospectra I

928
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: did this is uh, this was not. The public relations

929
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: management here was somewhat lacking. So don't you know, like

930
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: I said, I tell you what I think is the

931
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: truth here. And I think now everybody could understand or

932
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: everyone can can agree who's being fair minded about it?

933
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: That you know that Donald Trump Junior here had a

934
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: little little made a little mistake by coming out and

935
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: talking saying that this was about adoption and and you know,

936
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: would he have remembered this meeting? Well, it was a

937
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: year ago. And it's how often given all the attention

938
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: on now, Look, I'm not saying that, I'm not saying

939
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump Jr. Is being dishonest here, but this

940
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 1: is how the media, this is how it's gonna be

941
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: spawned by the other side. And let's just prepare for that.

942
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 1: How often do you have someone set up with a

943
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: meeting to give you information like this who happens to

944
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: be Russian and then you have this whole situation where

945
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: the media is running these stories on Russia for so

946
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 1: many months. I mean, you know this, this never this wouldn't.

947
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he says he would have done

948
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:52,399
Speaker 1: a little differently, so he at least he's saying that.

949
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: Um I met Donni Junior actually a very long time ago.

950
00:51:56,239 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: He's a nice guy. Uh, Bobby in you know, I met,

951
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: I met some of the Trumps before they were a

952
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: political family. So uh, because I grew up here in

953
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: the city, uh Bobby and North Carolina on w P

954
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: T I you got thoughts on this, or actually got

955
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 1: thoughts on something else, but whatever you want. What's up? Hey,

956
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: I won't make a comment on the lady who was

957
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: speaking about the snow flakes and we asked her why

958
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: Tommy larn Sir, the one and only. Yes, yes, Uh,

959
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: I think uh she did on for one. But I

960
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: honestly think that these kids they go to school, they

961
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: get to college the first year and they think they're

962
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 1: the greatest thing they ever hit the campus, and they

963
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: find out that they're average, and they look at and

964
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: put their grandparents done and how everybody looks up to

965
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: them for protesting for civil lives and other issues of

966
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: the day in the sixties, and they want to be

967
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: that person because they're average. They didn't give it everything

968
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: in life. They've been told there not a failure, the

969
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: greatest thing that ever was, and they get in real

970
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: life and they figure out, hey, you know, I'm not

971
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: the greatest. I'm just one of the guys that are average.

972
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: You know. You know, I think they do these things

973
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: for uh to make themselves feel better about themselves. You

974
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: think that's what drives them and do all the protesting,

975
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 1: the marching, the holding up of the signs, and the

976
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,359
Speaker 1: wearing the profane hats and all that stuff. You think

977
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: it's a kind of uh self elevation or it's a

978
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: it's an ego, it's an ego trip, I think is

979
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: what is that's? Is that what you're that seems to

980
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: what you're getting at. Yeah, because they haven't done what

981
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: they thought they were going to do. They didn't change

982
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: the world. They didn't even change their community. They fail

983
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: in right in place with everybody else, and they can't

984
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: stand it because they think that they deserve to be

985
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: better than average. But you know, Bobby, it's it's a

986
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: hard thing. It's part of growing up. I've had to

987
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: deal with it in recent years too. When when you

988
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: were a part of being mature, regardless of of your ages,

989
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 1: is understanding your limitations, working to make them better, and

990
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: having a true sense of humility that comes from a

991
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: the recognition that that most of us are are. We

992
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,400
Speaker 1: reach a point where we're not as not as exceptional,

993
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: or not as great as we was we'd like to think.

994
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: But that's okay. Actually, you know, as long as you

995
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: embrace that and understand it and it makes one humble.

996
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it can be a good thing. Yeah,

997
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: it can be. But see, they were never taught that

998
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: lesson of what it meant to lose. They've always been

999
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: total you're a winner. Well you played the game. Here's

1000
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: your participation trophy. We didn't win, but you're a winner. Yeah,

1001
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: I know, everyone wins. I hear what you're saying, Bobby,

1002
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 1: that that they're detached from reality. They're really delusional and

1003
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 1: the everyone everyone is a winner philosophy is a delusional

1004
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: philosophy because of course it's not true. Shields Hi, Bobby,

1005
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: thank you for calling in. I also would just note

1006
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: on the activism of the Snowflake of the Snowflake brigades

1007
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 1: out there. The activism is is generally speaking, activism is cheap.

1008
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: It's easy, you know, showing up to what's effectively a

1009
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 1: mobile party when everyone's you know, marching around, dancing and singing,

1010
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: and you know, they're uh every you know. Keep in

1011
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: mind everyone now takes photos and selfies and videos, so

1012
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: they're they're getting credit from their friend group from it.

1013
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: So it's not just it's not just like they show

1014
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: up to you know. This is the equivalent of it's

1015
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: one thing too. And I think this is a wonderful thing,

1016
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: by the way, but it would be one thing to

1017
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: show up at at a soup kitchen every weekend to

1018
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: help the less fortunate, which is a wonderful thing, but

1019
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: it's one thing to do that. It's another thing to

1020
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 1: show up to the soup kitchen once and take like

1021
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 1: fifty selfies and make sure there are some unfortunate looking

1022
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: individuals right behind you so you're like, look at me,

1023
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You maybe take a video of you like

1024
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: ladling out the soup and everything. You know, At some

1025
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: point it becomes an effort in personal branding, which I

1026
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 1: think is what a lot of this activism is really about,

1027
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: especially in the in the social media age and with

1028
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 1: these millennials and everything sure, some of them are really crazed,

1029
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: and you know, Trump is Hitler and he's gonna destroy

1030
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: America and any anything we can do to stand in

1031
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: the way of this fascist you know, rob robber whatever.

1032
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: That's that's an element that's out there. But I think

1033
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:38,320
Speaker 1: for most of the protesters, most of the people who

1034
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 1: are marching in these different well the March for Science,

1035
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: the March for We talked about this before with with

1036
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: Tommy and I've i've I like to continue to update

1037
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,280
Speaker 1: us on these during the course of the show because

1038
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: it is indicative of this mindset. But most activism is cheap,

1039
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: it's easy. It's a time for sell fees. It's a

1040
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: time for look at me, Look at me. I'm attaching

1041
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: myself to a supposedly noble progressive cause. Um. You know,

1042
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: the real the real heroes aren't running around everywhere live streaming.

1043
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: They're there once a year, march for something. Um. But

1044
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: I digress. That doesn't mean that all active you know,

1045
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm marches once a while are good. I'm not. I'm

1046
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: not putting it down. I'm just saying that when it

1047
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 1: becomes what we see here with a lot of these

1048
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: progressive causes, it does feel more like the mobile party,

1049
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: the selfie opportunity. And these are people that just want

1050
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: all their friends to think they're cool. We'll be right back.

1051
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: He's back with you now, because when it comes to

1052
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Looks like

1053
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: the Senate might have to do a little work, everybody.

1054
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: That's the latest I'm seeing here. You have the possibility of, well,

1055
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: we know the recess, the recess has been delayed. Here's

1056
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: a CNN I know you're all like boo, CNN reporting

1057
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has delayed the start of

1058
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: the August Senate recess until the third week in August

1059
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: in order to allow more time for his conference to

1060
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:29,479
Speaker 1: complete its work on healthcare reform, among other tasks. Yeah,

1061
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: that's right, get something done, Senate. And here is what

1062
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz, whom I used to be. I remember, I

1063
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: used to be Chiron at CNN as cruise supporter buck Sexton,

1064
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:44,919
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, let's like, let's turn

1065
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: it down a little bit. I mean, you know, I

1066
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: have my own ideas and principles and stuff. We don't

1067
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: even know the cruise supporter buck Sexton. Um. But yeah,

1068
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: that was how they they made you take a early on.

1069
00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: You had to you had to state who you're supporting

1070
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: the I'm Mary, not if you're a Democrat, though necessarily no,

1071
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 1: you can just get to be a Democrat. You didn't

1072
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: have to be like, I'm a Bernie supporter, although some

1073
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: people did. But crew supporters out there had to get

1074
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: stamped on TV cruise supporter, which I was fine with.

1075
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, I digress, uh ted Cruz talking about the

1076
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: August recess, It's crazy that we'd be taking a recess there.

1077
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: There are a bunch of us, myself included, that have

1078
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: been urging leadership back from January. Let's not take any recesses.

1079
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: Let's work. Let's work every day, Let's work weekends. Let's

1080
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: work till we get the job done. Isn't it kind

1081
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: of funny that this is a surprise from from politicians

1082
00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: or this is look at this, everybody. The politicians are

1083
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: deciding they're gonna pull them all lighters or something. I mean,

1084
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, I want to I want to introduce the

1085
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: senators to like my my brother who works in in

1086
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: banking here in New York, who's just you know, works

1087
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: incredibly hard, incredibly long hours. All of his colleagues due too.

1088
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of people out there

1089
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: that work really long hours. Senators are not among them.

1090
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: All right, Senators do not work, uh, the way that

1091
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: the American people tend to where I don't know, Oh,

1092
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: it's a really tough it's a lot of fundraising. Okay,

1093
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: well there's that. They do do a lot of fundraising,

1094
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: so you know that's one part of this. But they

1095
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: made promises. They made promises about what the American people

1096
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: should expin, what the American people could expect from all

1097
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: of these processes, once we had given them power, and

1098
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: once we had decided that it was in fact going

1099
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 1: to be the Republicans who had the majority in the

1100
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: House in the Senate repealing in place. That was the promise,

1101
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: and GOP leader McCarthy has been pointing that out. We

1102
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: made this promise. There is no excuse every remember that

1103
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: has served here prior has voted on repealing Obamacare and

1104
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: made the promise that we would actually improve give a

1105
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: lower the cost of premiums, the quality of care of

1106
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: every county only has one provider. What more do individuals

1107
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: need to understand that they need to move this bill forward? Amen.

1108
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's really somewhat amazing that we're even

1109
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: at this point where this whether they're gonna go off

1110
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: into resett can you imagine being a center or remember

1111
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: the house you're gonna face, You're gonna face constituents in

1112
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: a town hall and they're gonna say, okay, whatever happened

1113
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: to repeal into place as well. Um, it's very complicated.

1114
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: You see, the reconciliation only allows for so much of

1115
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: Obamacare to be you know, no way, not gonna fly,

1116
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 1: not a not an acceptable response on all that. So

1117
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is I think good to

1118
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: see some pressure here. Uh, keep in mind that even

1119
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: if the Senate does come up with a new bill,

1120
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: which they've had a lot of time, can I just

1121
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 1: put this out there, don't you? Don't you think? And

1122
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: now I've never worked on Capitol Hill, so it's kind

1123
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: of like when people ask me about what what's it

1124
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: like to work in the intelligence community, and I always

1125
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: joke around that, you know, you you're like the real

1126
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: intelligence community is like somewhere else, you know, like hit

1127
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: hidden under Hinder, hidden under an ocean on some other planet.

1128
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: You know that's doing all the real work because there's

1129
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: a lot of bureaucracy and everything else um with the Congress.

1130
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I would like to think that given they have all

1131
01:02:34,840 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: these people, all these staffs, and different legislative aids, and

1132
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what the different titles are. I haven't

1133
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: worked in Congress, but you know, I lived in d C.

1134
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: I picked up I picked up some of the jargon

1135
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: down in d C. I know the optics. But do

1136
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: you think that they have like multiple versions of US.

1137
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: I would like to believe that the Senate GOP has

1138
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: off the shell a whole bunch of different versions of

1139
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: just amazing uh approved Milton Freeman approved free market based

1140
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: healthcare plans that are gonna transform our care. And you

1141
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: know we have that expert on yesterday from the Hub

1142
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: Institution is talking about market based and I totally agree

1143
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: with him. He's saying, there needs to be cheaper care.

1144
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: You need to go to the doctor, and the doctor

1145
01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 1: needs to be competing on price with other doctors. And

1146
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: also you need to care about the dollars you're spending

1147
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: at the doctor. These are market signals that these have

1148
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 1: to be in place. If they're not, you're just subject

1149
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: to the whims of the federal bureaucracy and the different

1150
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 1: sway or the different um movements of public opinion, and

1151
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:48,479
Speaker 1: the political class that feeds off of it. You don't,

1152
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: actually he have control over your own healthcare destiny. This

1153
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: is the major flaw in well Obamacare, and let's just

1154
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: be honest about it. There's a lot of the healthcare

1155
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: system already that has a tremendous amount of government influence.

1156
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: And you could say interference. I think interference is a

1157
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: more accurate term in many in many instances. But you know,

1158
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 1: these members of the House of the Senate, I want

1159
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: to believe that they have all they have these different

1160
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: plans that are there, and they're just picking out Okay,

1161
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 1: option he's not working. Let's go with option B. Option

1162
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: b's not working. We go with options. See if that's

1163
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: not true, what do they do all the time? Is

1164
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: hanging out in these offices, you know, making phone calls

1165
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: trying to raise more cash. I think actually they do

1166
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time doing that. But it's it's uh,

1167
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: it's not confidence inspiring. We could say that much. It's not.

1168
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: It's not a particularly exciting situation for Republicans to see

1169
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: that here we are, especially after suffering through years of

1170
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: a Nancy Pelosi dominated Democrat majority in the Congress, and

1171
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: and you know then having to deal Harry Reid is

1172
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: the Senate majority leader, and you know, find the pendulum

1173
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: has swung back to the other side and we get

1174
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:09,919
Speaker 1: what look, every it's July. Yeah. I was like, wait,

1175
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 1: did I get the month wrong? I do? You know

1176
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 1: once I when I was I was actually filling in

1177
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: for Rush Limbaugh. And some of you listening may recall

1178
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: this if you heard those those filings. Um, it was

1179
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: new It was New Year's Eve. I believe it was

1180
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: the day before New Year's Eve. And I said. I

1181
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, hey, welcome to Rush Limbaugh show.

1182
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: It's Christmas Eve everyone. I just like completely first out

1183
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: of the gate. It wasn't my first time, thankfully, but

1184
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: just out of the gate, just you know, wow wow.

1185
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: And then and the stad other guys that were laughing,

1186
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: They're like, Buck, gonna look at your calendar. And I

1187
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, no, no, no, I mean yeah, of course, um,

1188
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: but Christmas Eve day I got see, I just did

1189
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: it again. New Year's Eve day is what would have

1190
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: been the proper way to to describe it? Um, Why

1191
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: what was I Oh, yeah, with the healthcare thing. We're

1192
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 1: talking we're talking about the healthcare thing here. Uh, they

1193
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: don't have this, they don't have this ready to go.

1194
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: And uh, it's been now how many months since the

1195
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: administration took office? How many months since the Republican majority

1196
01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: has been sitting around trying to get something through. At

1197
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: some point we may have to come to grips with

1198
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the reality that this is a reflection of the dissonance

1199
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: in americans own view, the American people's view of how

1200
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: what health care should be, what our health care system

1201
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: should be. You can have the government in control of

1202
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: it without the government in control of you, and until

1203
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: everyone understands that we're not, we're not going to really

1204
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,560
Speaker 1: get anywhere. You can't have the government picking up the

1205
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: bills about the government having to say so. You can

1206
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 1: have the government determining the level of care and what's

1207
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: an acceptable plan, meaning what's acceptable coverage for you, which

1208
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: is the same thing as saying, really, in many instances

1209
01:06:55,320 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 1: care without seating a lot of your auton to me,

1210
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: a lot of your decision making over healthcare to some

1211
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 1: other third party. And you know the here's the difference.

1212
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: You can either allow the you can either have the

1213
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: insurance companies competing and dollars speaking for you in that sense, uh,

1214
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: or you can just hope that the federal government will

1215
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: listen to you and that you will have enough. I

1216
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: don't know, you'll you know, you'll petition your congressman or something,

1217
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 1: and they It's just not gonna work that way, right,

1218
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 1: we all know that. So I wonder what this final

1219
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:33,439
Speaker 1: bill will look like. It's not going to be great,

1220
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: it will be better. So I also I don't want

1221
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 1: to be somebody that is always putting down improvements instead

1222
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: of perfection. Improvement is good. It's certainly better than the

1223
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 1: alternative and the bill that the Senate. If the if

1224
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,040
Speaker 1: the Senate comes up with the bill and passes a

1225
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: bill big ifs by the way, uh, if that happens, um,

1226
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: then you have to go into a conference and they

1227
01:07:57,800 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: could deal with the House bill and they'll hammer something out.

1228
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: But this is all also a precondition. This is supposed

1229
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: to be a preliminary step for the rest of the

1230
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 1: Trump agenda on things like the National Defense Authorization Act

1231
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 1: and taxes, So you know, there's and then I suppose

1232
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 1: immigration might be dealt with at some point by this

1233
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: by this Congress. But you know, let's not get let's

1234
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:29,840
Speaker 1: not get too crazy. Uh, no willingness really to deal

1235
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: with spending. But I think that we're just we've accepted

1236
01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: now as a country. For now. I mean, this may change.

1237
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean I remember when the Tea Party was the

1238
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: most formidable, the most formidable political movement in America, and

1239
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 1: formidable in all the best ways, large numbers of peaceful

1240
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:52,440
Speaker 1: people coming together, uh, steeped in constitutional principles and adhering

1241
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: to all the best norms of conduct and political discourse

1242
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 1: in order to bring about necessary and valuable change. Uh.

1243
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: We may get back there at some point, but for

1244
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,439
Speaker 1: right now, I think we have accepted that we're just

1245
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 1: going to spend ourselves into oblivion as a country. I

1246
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: don't hear I don't hear anyone making the case right now, really,

1247
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean maybe Senator Rampaul. Sometimes I don't hear anyone

1248
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: making the case about how twenty trillion everybody twenty trillion

1249
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: in debt, I mean nineteen trillion and a whole lot

1250
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: of billions, But we're twenty trillion debt um. Then we

1251
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: just we like, we like the government pay for stuff

1252
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: much more than we should. We need to break this cycle,

1253
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, I think the only way it gets broken

1254
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: is if something happens first and it is not going

1255
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: to be fun whatever it is. And I don't know.

1256
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: People are saying the Fed's unwinding it's balance sheet a

1257
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: little bit. There's some economic change that's supposed to be

1258
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 1: happening kind of quietly, but could have major implications and

1259
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: impacts that we can't yet ascertain. It's a fancy we

1260
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: of saying, who knows what the heck is gonna happen here?

1261
01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Who knows? Um? But healthcare? Yeah, the better they better

1262
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: not go on vacation without a healthcare bill, because then

1263
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:05,720
Speaker 1: we really do have to ask the question, what do

1264
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: these bums do exactly? What is the purpose though? What

1265
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: is the purpose of the gop led sent And if

1266
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: they can't even pass a healthcare bill, I don't think

1267
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: they'd have a good answer for that question if if

1268
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: it was posed to them. So there we have it.

1269
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 1: Eight four four Buck, that's eight four four to five

1270
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 1: much more comics team. I'll do a buck brief on

1271
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: the liberation of most with from Islamic State in the

1272
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: next hour, as well as we'll talk to our friend

1273
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Emily is a nazi about some of the latest headlines

1274
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: in the world of pop culture and politics, and we've

1275
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: got much more to stay with me that device President

1276
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: Mike Pence has. Well, I don't. I'm not sure that

1277
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,200
Speaker 1: the way this is being portrayed in the media is

1278
01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: totally accurate. So here here's what Pence said. Uh, they're

1279
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 1: saying that, and this is from a this is from

1280
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: a conservative outlet, it's from a Daily Caller. So I

1281
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: don't think they're trying to misrepresentative or anything. I just

1282
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that I see this exactly the same way. Um.

1283
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: But Pence's press secretary said that we'll set the following quote.

1284
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 1: The vice president is working every day to advance the

1285
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: president's agenda, which is what the American people sent us

1286
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: here to do. The Vice president was not aware of

1287
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: the meeting, referring to the meeting between Trump junior man

1288
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: or I guess yeah, Donnie Trump junior Manafort, the campaign manager,

1289
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: and Jared Kushner, the son in law. Uh President, sorry,

1290
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 1: whoa Freudian. Vice President. Pence was not aware of the meeting.

1291
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: He is not focused on stories about the campaign, particularly

1292
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: stories before he joined the ticket, so Pence's people are saying, look,

1293
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 1: pens and pens and know any about this? Uh? Is

1294
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 1: that distancing or is that just stating a fact. I

1295
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 1: think you can come to your own conclusions about that one.

1296
01:11:57,160 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: But this is not. This is not going away anytime

1297
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: anytime soon, not if not if morning Joe is on

1298
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: the case. Let's hear what Joe has to say. Stupid

1299
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,479
Speaker 1: of Don Junior. I mean, I guess it runs in

1300
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,839
Speaker 1: the family to go on Twitter when he is clearly

1301
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: in legal jeopardy. This time yesterday morning, everybody knew he

1302
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: was clearly in legal jeopardy. It was clearly in legal jeopardy.

1303
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he's clearly in legal jeopardy based on

1304
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,959
Speaker 1: what I actually just saw an analysis from Alan Dershowitz

1305
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: up on Fox News UM who was saying, look, unless

1306
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 1: there's conspiracy to commit a specific criminal act, Uh, then

1307
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,920
Speaker 1: you know there's no that that doesn't it doesn't work, right,

1308
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a and the information that would

1309
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: come from a hack is not criminal. And you know

1310
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: that if you have information that's out there that someone

1311
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: gives you from a hack that you weren't a part of,

1312
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: that's you're not a criminal. Um, if you maybe try

1313
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:05,760
Speaker 1: to sell that information or something, well, yeah, I think

1314
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: then you you know, then you could be trafficking and

1315
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: stolen goods or something. But if you just have information,

1316
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: you're not a criminal. You haven't well I shouldn't say

1317
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 1: you're not a criminal, you haven't committed a crime, because

1318
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,600
Speaker 1: it would be impossible to really draw the draw the

1319
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 1: lines the boundaries that distinctions here of what would be

1320
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,559
Speaker 1: a criminal contic versus well, it's just finding out stuff.

1321
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: And in an increasingly information dominated era, we need to

1322
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: be very careful about the government's ability and you know,

1323
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: when we all have our thoughts and and our um our,

1324
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 1: our day to day actions cataloged and yes, kept indefinitely,

1325
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 1: we need to make sure that the government has very

1326
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: narrow and clear and strictly defined UH statutes for what

1327
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: constitute criminal behavior. Right. It's sort of another version of

1328
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: the when Trump said I hope you can find your way,

1329
01:13:56,240 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: I hope you can see your way. Clear. I forget

1330
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: the exact wording, but when he was talking to Mueller

1331
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: on Flynn, you know that's not that's not criminal obstruction,

1332
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, I like, I hope this can be you know,

1333
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: the same way when we had Annie McCarthy on, a

1334
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: former federal prosecutory, said, Andy, if someone's trying to do

1335
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: a drug if someone's trying to get me to buy

1336
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 1: drugs from them on the street, and and I just

1337
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 1: want them to leave me alone. And I say, look, man,

1338
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: I wish I wish And they say, hey, man, you

1339
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: want to buy some drugs, And say, look, I wish

1340
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: I could help you, but I gotta you know, I

1341
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 1: gotta get home to my wife, which you know I'm

1342
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: not married. But you know what I'm saying right in this,

1343
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,600
Speaker 1: in this scenario, I'm trying to make it, trying to

1344
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: make it believable, um saying you know, I wish, I

1345
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: wish I could help you out. I mean, you're not saying, yeah,

1346
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,719
Speaker 1: like I'm running a drug running I'm running a drug

1347
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 1: operation with you now, so please arrest me, right, I

1348
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: mean that's you're You're not a party to that conspiracy.

1349
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: You're just speaking and trying to get away. You haven't

1350
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: taken a criminal step. There's no criminal intent. And I

1351
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: worry because people have really tossed aside the the notion

1352
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: of criminal intent. Men's raya as it is referred to

1353
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 1: a criminal state of mind or the state of mind

1354
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 1: when you commit a criminal act, and it's an essential

1355
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: part of federal criminal law. I mean, we lose that

1356
01:15:05,320 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: and and the Democrats can criminalize anything. Understand, just to

1357
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: always remember that. And strict liability is uh should be

1358
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 1: very limited in terms of the federal statutes that apply

1359
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: criminal strict liability, meaning if you do something no matter what,

1360
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,639
Speaker 1: no matter what the circumstances are, really you are criminally

1361
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: liable for it. I know the Hillary in the email

1362
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: people say, well, there was you know, didn't need to

1363
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 1: have intent, Okay, but there's a recklessness standard. There is

1364
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: a standard. It's not just if you do right. So

1365
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 1: it's not just oh, someone sent an email and there

1366
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: was something in it that was classified that they didn't

1367
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: know about at the time, Therefore they should go to

1368
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 1: prison because that's reckless. No, there's a recklessness standard, which

1369
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: I think Hillary met. But you need to have either

1370
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: intent or recklessness for someone to be justly prosecuted for

1371
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 1: a crime. And this is all a roundabout way of

1372
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 1: me saying I don't see any crime attached to the meeting,

1373
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: even even the possibility of crime from the meeting with

1374
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:08,600
Speaker 1: the Russian lawyer and so that's a lot of exaggeration

1375
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 1: in hyperbole from the media, but that's not going to

1376
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: stop him. The freedom Hunt rocks online too. You can

1377
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: hang out with Team Buck any time. Plus get bucks

1378

1379
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: That's buck Sexton dot com. The Buck is back. How

1380
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: did I miss Congressional sleeve gate for women or whatever

1381
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna call it. I don't know. You may have

1382
01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: seen this getting a lot of attention. Uh So I

1383
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 1: didn't know this because again I'm not a Congress guy.

1384
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a former intelligence community guy, which has

1385
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 1: its own, you know, codes of conduct and uh an

1386
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: office place to core him and all that, um. But

1387
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that Congress had address code for women

1388
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 1: that you have to wear a sleeve a dress with sleeves. Now,

1389
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: how strictly enforced is this? Well, of course, like a

1390
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 1: lot of dress codes, it depends, you know. I was

1391
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: as an aside here, I'll tell you. I was at

1392
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: an event in New York City and at a well

1393
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 1: known it was. It was an event raising money for

1394
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: the families of fallen Special Operations soldiers. So that just

1395
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: it's like an emergency funds. If you're wounded or killed

1396
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: in action from the Special Operations community, this group comes

1397
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 1: in and helps the family with whatever expenses are and

1398
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: whatever whatever they can do. You know, right away there's

1399
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: not then don't wait. They just go and they help.

1400
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 1: So we were raising we're raising money at this event.

1401
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: And the the keynote speaker for the event was Nick Irving,

1402
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 1: who is the author of a book called The Reaper,

1403
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: and he was a an Army Ranger sniper and his

1404
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,479
Speaker 1: book is is really a really good read. And I

1405
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: heard him tell his story about an extended firefight in Afghanistan,

1406
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: and I mean it is gripping. He went on for

1407
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: I will say that the two story the two keynote

1408
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 1: speakers i've heard it was further Red Circle Foundation was

1409
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: the name of the organization, which is Brandon Webb's charitable foundation.

01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Webb, of course good friend of mine and former

1411
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 1: Navy seal sniper. The two speakers that I have heard

1412
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: are Chris parronto Um and uh Nick Irving, both telling

1413
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: their stories about you know, they're about incidents they went through.

1414
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: And of course if you've seen Thirteen Hours, you know

1415

Speaker 1: all about what Chris what Chris went through. Um very

1416
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 1: good movie, by the way, I think it does. I

1417
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 1: spoke to some people at Fourth of July weekend who

1418
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: are usually really up on things and and unlike a

1419
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 1: lot of the leftist commies I know here New York

1420
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 1: City actually like love freedom America and those who fight

1421
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 1: for it. And uh, they hadn't seen Thirteen Hours as

1422
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys have gotta watch that movie. Um

1423
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 1: So anyway, Nick Irving, though it was, it was given

1424
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,600
Speaker 1: a great he gave a fantastic keynote address. We'll have

1425
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: him on the show at some point, I'm sure against soon.

1426
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: I've had him on before to talk about his books.

1427
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: His books are excellent. It's a A Reaper and the

1428
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 1: Reaper and the Way of the Reaper about his time

1429
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: as a sniper and also the skills, the discipline and

1430
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,759
Speaker 1: the knowledge of one of cars from being an elite

1431
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: Special Forces or he was an SF, but an elite

1432
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Special Operations. Pardon me, it's some of the SF guys

1433
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: are like Buck like, I know, I know, I'm sorry,

1434
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Like I was never in the military. I

1435
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: just try to learn as much about it as I

1436
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: can as a as a civilian analyst. You know, right,

1437
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 1: and terrorizing the enemy with my memos and my my

1438
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 1: tight analysis. So uh, Nick, oh, okay on the dress

1439
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: code thing, that's how I got on this address code.

1440
01:19:55,040 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 1: So Nick was, um, he was. He showed up to

1441
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:05,759
Speaker 1: a club that has a very strict jacket and tie policy,

1442
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: and that's where the event was. And keep in mind

1443
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 1: that there was this it wasn't the same club. But

1444
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: I remember Hillary Clinton famously, I think when she was

1445
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: a cinc senator, used a cell phone in one of

1446
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 1: these clubs, was the University Club, New York City, and

1447
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: they were like excuse me, uh, you know, Madam Senator

1448
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:24,759
Speaker 1: or whatever they call her, you know, Senator Senator clinta senator, Sorry,

1449
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: Senator Clinton, Uh, could you step outside? They made her

1450
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: leave the lobby because no cell phones allowed. Uh. And

1451
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,759
Speaker 1: this other place has a very strict jacket and tie policy.

1452
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:38,720
Speaker 1: And I always remember Nick Irving showing up to get

1453
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 1: the keynote speech for whatever a hundred and fifty people

1454
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:44,640
Speaker 1: at this event, and uh he he was wearing a

1455
01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:46,880
Speaker 1: short sleeve shirt, no tie, no jacket, And I was

1456
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:52,440
Speaker 1: just like how, And then I was like, ah, yes, decorated,

1457
01:20:52,840 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: decorated Army ranger sniper keynote address, no dress code. Uh.

1458
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 1: He shows up, however he was, So that was that

1459
01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: was the first time that I had and I've known

1460
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: that this was very old and established. Uh it's an

1461
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 1: athletic club here in New York City. Um. You know,

1462
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 1: I I've I've never seen that happen. I can tell

1463
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 1: you I've never seen that before. But under the circumstances,

1464
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, they're gonna they let Nick through. And

1465
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 1: that was the right move. I didn't even make him

1466
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: put on like a clip on tie or anything like that.

1467
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 1: Just go go ahead, sir, thank you for your service.

1468
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:29,479
Speaker 1: It's like, well done. Uh, security in the lobby, well done.

1469
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: That was the proper move. Uh. So back to the

1470
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:35,560
Speaker 1: dress code in Congress and how Democrats are saying this

1471
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan's fault, that this is this is somehow all on,

1472
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 1: all on Paul Ryan. Um I think that, Um, I

1473
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 1: think that the funny. Well, watching this, of course, you

1474
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 1: hear a lot of talk about the handmaid the Handmaids tail,

1475
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:58,799
Speaker 1: which uh the girlfriend ms Molly, Uh my girlfriend, she

1476
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 1: she we why a little bit of it. I just

1477
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 1: thought it was kind of boring, But I think I

1478
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:06,639
Speaker 1: might be forced for research purposes, kind of like when

1479
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 1: I turn on MSNBC and I'm just like, oh my gosh,

1480
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: what is this. I think I might have to watch

1481
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:18,519
Speaker 1: The Handmaids tail um, because it's it's a reference. Now

1482
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: anytime someone's engaged in the in the man splaining or

1483
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: the Patriarch patriarch or anything like that. Anytime that stuff

1484
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: is going on, uh, people will refer to the Handmaid's Town. Now,

1485
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 1: the Left loves to get right into the Handmaid's Tale,

1486
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:41,640
Speaker 1: which is a dystopian it's like a women are oppressed.

1487
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 1: It's like a Christian fascist society. I don't, I don't,

1488
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: I haven't. I've only seen one episode and I'm not

1489
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: that up on it. But of course, when the when

1490
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: a story this is this is the story that kicked

1491
01:22:54,240 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: all this off. A female reporter on the in the

1492
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 1: Congress had to she was kicked out of the House

1493
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Speaker's lobby in the US Capitol Building. I guess this

1494
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 1: was last late last week because she was wearing a

1495
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: sleeveless dress. And you know this is coming right away.

1496
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: It's oh my gosh, it's the Handmaids. Tell no. I mean,

1497
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: everyone's all freaked out because you know, now, now we're

1498
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 1: in a in a Christian, a fascistic Christian theocracy that

1499
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: probably you haven't seen a lot of. Would they make

1500
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,679
Speaker 1: a movie about, I don't know, a different very large

1501
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: faith tradition taking over America and a fascistic fashion and

1502
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: oppressing women. I'm just gonna put this out there. I

1503
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:46,120
Speaker 1: don't think so. You can call me crazy, but I

1504
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 1: doubt another very large world religion with a lot of

1505
01:23:49,479 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 1: adherents would ever be the subject of a dystopian, uh

1506
01:23:53,800 --> 01:24:02,000
Speaker 1: fictional future TV series that's about theocracy, oppressed shin male

1507
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: oppression of females, and women being treated as sex slaves. Um,

1508
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you whatever, I just don't think that

1509
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: show would ever get made for whatever reason. Damn you

1510
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: can figure out which, you know, what other religions we

1511
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 1: might be or other religion might be referring to. But

1512
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:21,480
Speaker 1: the point here is, let's let's get back to the

1513
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 1: house Speaker's lobby and this this reporter who was put

1514
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: she was asked to leave. She ripped pages out of

1515
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:30,559
Speaker 1: a notebook and then stuffed them into her dress in

1516
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 1: order to create sleeves, but to no avail. It was

1517
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: she was that this was an unsuccessful, an unsuccessful effort,

1518
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,799
Speaker 1: so they still asked her to leave. And so everyone

1519
01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: was saying, oh, yeah, The Handmaid's Tale. For those of

1520
01:24:48,720 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: you who are are Hulu subscribers, it's a Hulu show,

1521
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 1: which I don't actually subscribe to Hulo. I should probably

1522
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: check that out. Um. And so then it was an

1523
01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: opportunity for oh, Chelsea Handler, who we talked about earlier

1524
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 1: in the show, because she'll be debating Tommy Larin at Politicon.

1525
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: Chelsea Handler has said that Paul Ryan enforced She tweeted

1526
01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan enforcing dress code and speaker's lobby in the

1527
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: US capital that bands women from showing their shoulders. Welcome

1528
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:23,080
Speaker 1: to Abu Dhabi. First of all, interesting choice abud And

1529
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,719
Speaker 1: I would go with Saudi Arabia over over Abu Dhabi.

1530
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,639
Speaker 1: But um, she went with Abu Dhabi. You know, look,

1531
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 1: she she's a she's a comedian, she's she's joking. I

1532
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 1: guess I would think we gotta give her. You gotta

1533
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: give comedians the leeway to make jokes. And she's making

1534
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:37,920
Speaker 1: a joke. What do you think it's funny or not,

1535
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 1: that's up to you. But then you also had um

1536
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:47,320
Speaker 1: at Margaret Atwood here. This is from the Washington Examiner.

1537
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 1: After news of the dress code spread last week, feminists

1538
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:54,640
Speaker 1: compared it to the draconian laws enforced in Gilead, the

1539
01:25:54,680 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: fictional society of atwood novel The Handmaid's Tale, which was

1540
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: recently adapted a new television series. In Gilead, women are

1541
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:09,080
Speaker 1: forced into sex slavery to bear the children of government officials,

1542
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: and forbidden from reading or owning property. Uh And then, nevertheless,

1543
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: Atwood joined the conversation on Monday night, drawing that same

1544
01:26:20,680 --> 01:26:23,640
Speaker 1: disproportionate parallel between her own fictional Oh my gosh, I

1545
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,040
Speaker 1: don't even know this, between her own fictional universe and

1546
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: the Speaker's lobby. Quote is Paul Ryan scared of shoulders?

1547
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 1: The Republican dress code is straight out of hashtag the

1548
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:40,920
Speaker 1: Handmaid's Tail. Oh yeah, she went there. Okay, if we

1549
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 1: want to give her the benefit of the doubt here,

1550
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:44,600
Speaker 1: what we could say about is Atwood is it is

1551
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: a shameless a shameless plug of her show via a

1552
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: news item, and that she just was cynically exploiting the

1553
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 1: moment to get some free press for her show. You

1554
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 1: know what, I'm very free market if if that's what

1555
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 1: she's doing here. I disagree. I think it's dishonest, but

1556
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 1: she's allowed. She's allowed. But we do have to take

1557
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 1: at least somewhat seriously the possibility that the author of

1558
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 1: The Handmaid's Tale, which is the again the dystopian men

1559
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 1: oppressing women, making them sex slaves, government bureaucracy, Christian theocracy,

1560
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: all that stuff, the author of that is someone who

1561
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 1: also buys into the notion that the Republicans are part

1562
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 1: of a war against women, and that you could say

1563
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:38,840
Speaker 1: that this dress code ban, well ban is a bit strong,

1564
01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:41,880
Speaker 1: isn't it. But here we are that this dress code

1565
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: is part of the Republican war on women. I know

1566
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: that's a silly and preposterous, ridiculous thing to say, and

1567
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 1: yet it has caught on. There's a lot of hashtagging

1568
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 1: and social media back and forth over this. Here's the

1569
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: problem that was some of you, as I've been talking

1570
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: about this the whole time, or like, when are you

1571
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,679
Speaker 1: gonna get to it? Buck? I'm I'm I'm keeping people

1572
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: in suspense. I want to I want them to. I gotta,

1573
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: I gotta pull them through this segment. I can't just

1574
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 1: I can't just show them, you know, I can't just

1575
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: give them the warm chocolate chip cookies at the beginning,

1576
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:12,320
Speaker 1: or you know what are you gonna hang out for?

1577
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 1: Right Here's the problem with all the social media outrage

1578
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 1: over this and and people tweeting out that this is,

1579
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 1: uh the Handmaid's Tale made real, which I should note

1580
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 1: that in Trump's America, any anything that they can do

1581
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:31,479
Speaker 1: to create some narrative about female oppression of women and

1582
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,559
Speaker 1: how Trump is that the you know, they they run

1583
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 1: with that, right, they love that, and the Handmaid's Tail

1584
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: is very very much capturing the feminist, uh pop culture

1585
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 1: zeitgeist right now, right they they're like, oh, Trump's oppression

1586
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 1: of women a timely show for Trump's oppression of women.

1587
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: Problem with all this is that the dress code predates

1588
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan and Trump. Maybe the even bigger problem with

1589
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 1: this is that the House speaker, when the House Speaker

1590
01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:05,960
Speaker 1: was a Nancy Pelosi, it was like a really far

1591
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: left wing Democrat. Yeah, they also had little dress code

1592
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 1: action and effect. We're women, you guessed it had to

1593
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:22,799
Speaker 1: wear sleeves. Is just what a crazy world we live in, folks. Um,

1594
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:25,479
Speaker 1: you know c CBS was running reporting on this. I mean,

1595
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:27,240
Speaker 1: this was not keep them on This was not some

1596
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: little nothing story. I mean this, this got some real attention,

1597
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 1: um and it just goes along with you know. The

1598
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 1: New York Times published an essay back in March about

1599
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 1: the author of The Handmaid's Tale and her writing what

1600
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:43,720
Speaker 1: the Handmad's Tale means in the age of Trump. So

1601
01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:45,680
Speaker 1: again all part of the narrative war on women. The

1602
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:49,240
Speaker 1: Handmaid's Tale was the pop culture reference for this, and

1603
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 1: they decided to run with this narrative about how Paul

1604
01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 1: Ryan is like the you know, it's like the American

1605
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 1: Taliban when it comes to women's dress codes. But yes,

1606
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 1: they're they're is in fact the difference between hey, can

1607
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,719
Speaker 1: you wear sleeves in one part of a government building

1608
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: the United States if you're a lady and everyone has

1609
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 1: to wear a burka or else? Right, we can make

1610
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: these distinctions, I hope. I know you can, and I can,

1611
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: but a lot of people in the media seem to

1612
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: have some difficulty with it. We are going to chat

1613
01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:21,920
Speaker 1: with our friend Emily's Nati from Heat Street come up

1614
01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 1: here in a few minutes, and then I will close

1615
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:25,680
Speaker 1: out the show with a buckbrief on national security and

1616
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: the taking of Moses by Rocky forces and drive back.

1617
01:30:36,760 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, it is that time, z Nati. Time

1618
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:42,960
Speaker 1: we find out who's been Zannati and who's been nice.

1619
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 1: Emily's a Nati is with us now from heat Street,

1620
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 1: where she is the political editor. MS naughty, good to

1621
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: have you, good to be here. Uh. Congress moves to

1622
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 1: save America from growing threat of snort able chocolate. Let

1623
01:30:56,960 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: me tell you, as a something of a chocoholic, I

1624
01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 1: read this and I was like, I mean, it's it's legal, right,

1625
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:07,519
Speaker 1: what's going on here? So it is legal. It's basically

1626
01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 1: just coco powder, but it's in a particular format that

1627
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 1: you can snort up your nose. I guess it's really

1628
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 1: big in Europe. It's just starting to hit right here

1629
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 1: across the pond, and there's one company in Florida who

1630
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:24,759
Speaker 1: has manufactured it. But just in case you were thinking

1631
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:28,920
Speaker 1: of trying it out, Congress has already decided that not healthcare,

1632
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:34,479
Speaker 1: not tax reform, snordable chocolate will be its priority this

1633
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 1: this term. And Chuck Schumer just issued a very nasty

1634
01:31:39,320 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 1: letter to the f d A imploring them to please,

1635
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 1: please please please look into making snortable chocolate illegal. Wow.

1636
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:50,479
Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of when Congress decided to

1637
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 1: spend some time on the whole steroid use in baseball issue,

1638
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:56,840
Speaker 1: because I mean, that's really keeping me up late at night.

1639
01:31:56,960 --> 01:31:59,759
Speaker 1: I think that Congress sometimes do because they're they're approval

1640
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:02,559
Speaker 1: rate things are so low and they get so little

1641
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 1: of substance done that they need to tilt at windmills,

1642
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 1: so to speak. They need they need to find fake

1643
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: dragons to slay, like the snortable chocolate menace. Yeah. Actually

1644
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 1: this is the heir to the disposable dishwasher pods that

1645
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,639
Speaker 1: looked like candy. So just a couple of months ago,

1646
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:25,680
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer was after like Tide and a bunch of

1647
01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 1: other manufacturers of these plastic pods that you put in

1648
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:33,799
Speaker 1: your dishwasher and in your clothing washer, and apparently children

1649
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:36,760
Speaker 1: were ingesting them and dying in math numbers. It never

1650
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:39,839
Speaker 1: really took off, but this is now. Chuck Schumer's newest

1651
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 1: crusade makes sure that the youth are not being corrupted

1652
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: by snortable chocolate. I love chocolate so much. I read

1653
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:49,080
Speaker 1: a book on chocolate that I recommend everybody called Chocolate

1654
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 1: A Bittersweet Saga of Light and Dark by mort rosen Bloom.

1655
01:32:52,520 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: If you're somebody who gets really psyched about your Venezuelan

1656
01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 1: sourced cocw beans and a seventy uh bar of chocolate,

1657
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 1: I highly recommend you check out that book. See I

1658
01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: I nerd out to the Chocolate Sonati. I like to

1659
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 1: think of myself as a chocolate walk. I eat chocolate

1660
01:33:09,360 --> 01:33:11,479
Speaker 1: every day. In fact, my girlfriend knows that I have

1661
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 1: to keep bars of chocolate wherever I go or else.

1662
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, I get irritable. I have to actually like

1663
01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 1: hide mine. I have chocolate that's mixed with sea salt

1664
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 1: and chili. I like it mixed with something, and I

1665
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 1: have to have my private chocolate stash. You know. That's how.

1666
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 1: That's how the Inca's I'm sorry, the Aztecs pardon me,

1667
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:33,400
Speaker 1: whoa microaggression. The Aztecs used to roll when they would

1668
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 1: chocolate was drinkable and bitter. Originally they would mix the

1669
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:40,639
Speaker 1: cacao in with water and they believe chili. So that's

1670
01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: that's kicking it way old school to the Aztec time.

1671
01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't until the Europeans came along They're like, oh,

1672
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:49,800
Speaker 1: let's put sugar in this. Yeah, different stuff? All right,

1673
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 1: Enough about chocolate sarry everybody. I get excited. As you

1674
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,600
Speaker 1: could tell, this is interesting. I bother. We're speaking to

1675
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:58,760
Speaker 1: Emily's Nati checker out on Twitter e m Zanati. Uh,

1676
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 1: your baby gen reveal party is probably scarring your child,

1677
01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 1: say feminist. First of all, what's a gender reveal party?

1678
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:10,040
Speaker 1: And second of all, why do feminists have to hate everything? Well,

1679
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 1: I think that's just in their nature, like they have

1680
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:14,599
Speaker 1: to hate everything otherwise they have no purpose for living.

1681
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,800
Speaker 1: But so gender reveal parties at this newest trend where

1682
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:20,680
Speaker 1: pregnant women have a party after their baby shower to

1683
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:24,160
Speaker 1: reveal to family and friends whether they're having a boy

1684
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:27,519
Speaker 1: or a girl. Well, it turns out that while most

1685
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 1: feminists probably don't think unborn children are actually human beings,

1686
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,960
Speaker 1: they are concerned that if you have a gender revealed party,

1687
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: you are shoehorning your child into either being a boy

1688
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:41,800
Speaker 1: or a girl, or one of the binary genders. So

1689
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 1: you're probably scarring your unborn baby for life by declaring

1690
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:48,479
Speaker 1: that it's a boy or a girl and not letting

1691
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 1: it grow up and just choose one of the thirty

1692
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 1: eight genders that it's supposed to be thirty eight. Everybody

1693
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 1: that's that's a for real thing. Now, I have no

1694
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: If somebody offered me, uh, somebody offered me a million

1695
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 1: bit coins, i'd have note, which is a lot of money.

1696
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:05,400
Speaker 1: By the way, I have no idea how to get it.

1697
01:35:05,439 --> 01:35:07,719
Speaker 1: Has a lot of money. Everybody, I M I'm sorry,

1698
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: your name is actually Emily. Pardon me your Twitter handles

01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 1: takeing umbery brain. We got Emily's naughty. We're gonna hit

1700
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 1: a break and we're gonna come right back and talk

1701
01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 1: to Emily a bit more. Gonna heat street dot com

1702
01:35:16,479 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: for her latest writing, and a team will be right back,

1703
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,400
Speaker 1: Team Buck. We are back with Emily the Naughty of

1704
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: heat Street. Emily, You've got some great pieces up on

1705
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 1: heat street dot com. Uh. New Batman comic cast Cape

1706
01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,880
Speaker 1: Crusader as a villain to social justice seeking Joker. What

1707
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 1: the what? So Marvel has had complete failure in introducing

1708
01:35:44,040 --> 01:35:47,240
Speaker 1: social justice to comic books, so I guess DC decided

1709
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 1: that it was going to get in on the failure itself.

1710
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 1: There's a new arc in coming out in the Batman

1711
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 1: comics called Batman White Knight, which flips Batman and the Joker.

1712
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:01,800
Speaker 1: In fact that Joe her is now cured of his insanity.

1713
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: He is a progressive activist in Gotham City, and his

1714
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: speeches about wage inequality, income inequality, black lives matter, they've

1715
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:16,120
Speaker 1: really started to spark the citizens of Gotham City, and

1716
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 1: so they've taken crime fighting into their own hands. And

1717
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:23,439
Speaker 1: now the crime fighting vigilanty Batman is the bad guy.

1718
01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:25,519
Speaker 1: He's cast as a bad guy, at least in the

1719
01:36:25,560 --> 01:36:28,519
Speaker 1: first bit of the comics that we've seen. So it's

1720
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:33,600
Speaker 1: a really interesting evolution for Batman and the Joker, but

1721
01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:36,320
Speaker 1: also kind of weird because they've decided that the Joker

1722
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:39,759
Speaker 1: is going to actually lead lead the progressives to victory.

1723
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 1: So the Joker is basically gonna be out there yelling

1724
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: whose streets are streets and stuff like that. He's like,

1725
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:49,840
Speaker 1: he's like a makeup diversion of Bernie Stander Wow. And

1726
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 1: and Batman is going to go more the route of

1727
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:55,400
Speaker 1: the Punisher, I suppose, who was always a vigilante, operating

1728
01:36:55,400 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 1: outside the law and using the tactics that that the

1729
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:02,320
Speaker 1: usual superhero would not, sort of like the yeah, the

1730
01:37:02,439 --> 01:37:07,599
Speaker 1: extra judicial superhero that operates outside the lab perhaps little

1731
01:37:07,640 --> 01:37:12,240
Speaker 1: more towards criminality than just being you know, your typical

1732
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 1: run of the mill crime fighter. So yeah, it's kind

1733
01:37:14,240 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 1: of a punisher vibe to it, a little bit of

1734
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of a darker ed Emily, since since

1735
01:37:20,400 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 1: you're you're my unofficial pop culture correspondent here in the

1736
01:37:24,120 --> 01:37:26,799
Speaker 1: Freedom Hut, and I need to impress my younger, cooler

1737
01:37:27,160 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 1: girlfriend with my knowledge of all things going on. I'm

1738
01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:33,840
Speaker 1: told I was making jokes about how Spider Man has

1739
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: now become like The Fast and the Furious franchise, where

1740
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:38,280
Speaker 1: they're just making so many movies that nobody even knows

1741
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: which movie we're talking about anymore. Someone. I've seen some

1742
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:44,000
Speaker 1: people saying this is the best Spider Man movie yet.

1743
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Do you have an opinion? Have you heard the same thing?

1744
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: I have heard the same thing. Spider Man has been

1745
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 1: kind of a dying franchise that keep trying to revive it.

1746
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:55,759
Speaker 1: They keep trying to cast new people a little bit younger.

1747
01:37:56,360 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: Marvel really wanted to bring Spider Man into the Marvel

1748
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,680
Speaker 1: universe and a big way, And I'm actually hearing I

1749
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 1: have not seen it yet. I'll see it this weekend,

1750
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:05,759
Speaker 1: but I'm actually hearing it's one of the best Marvel

1751
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:09,240
Speaker 1: movies in a few years. That's that's actually saying that's

1752
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:12,599
Speaker 1: actually saying something. Um. Okay, now let's make everybody sad

1753
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:15,840
Speaker 1: again for a second. Hillary Clinton. This up on heat Street.

1754
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,759
Speaker 1: We're talking to Emily's a naughty politics editor over heat Street.

1755
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:23,320
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton won't give up, says she'll be campaigning for demsen.

1756
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:26,240
Speaker 1: That's amazing. That's my Hillary pressure. By the way, it

1757
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 1: is spot on, as we know. Hillary laugh. I like

1758
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:35,120
Speaker 1: the cackle that you get from Hillary Clinton. Um. Yeah.

1759
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 1: So the Democrats are looking to inject some fresh new

1760
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:43,120
Speaker 1: blood into their teen campaign, and they've decided that that

1761
01:38:43,240 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 1: means they're going to drag Hillary Clinton out of obscurity,

1762
01:38:46,120 --> 01:38:48,640
Speaker 1: pull her out of the woods near Chappaqua, force her

1763
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 1: back on the campaign trail along with Barack Obama. So

1764
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 1: if the Democrats had any new ideas about what was

1765
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:58,519
Speaker 1: going to appeal to anybody, they definitely aren't putting them

1766
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:02,080
Speaker 1: into practice for Yeah. But look, I'm honest about this.

1767
01:39:02,200 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: Obama is still a very effective brand for the Democrats, right.

1768
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:09,479
Speaker 1: You know, Barack Obama's uh not just I mean obviously

1769
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 1: name recking if she's one of those famous people in

1770
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 1: the world, but his his political potency is still very

1771
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 1: real Hillary. I think at this point is I don't

1772
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 1: I don't like to call somebody a loser because that's mean.

1773
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 1: But she's a two time loser. Yeah, it's not just

1774
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: a two time loser. I mean, she's just nothing now.

1775
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if if the Democrats couldn't get her past

1776
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:33,719
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, there's really nobody they could get her pass.

1777
01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 1: And she represents part of the Democratic Party that just

1778
01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 1: isn't appealing to voters anymore. And yet they've decided they

1779
01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 1: have to throw their cloud in with Hillary Clinton. So

1780
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 1: it should be interesting to see if they get anything

1781
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:47,879
Speaker 1: out of it, because it's basically going to be squeezing

1782
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 1: blood from a stone Hilary. Um. So yeah, I know

1783
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 1: she's she's she's never going away. That's That's really what

1784
01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 1: my sadness is here. She's just never, um never going away.

1785
01:40:02,160 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 1: We're never gonna be Hillary free in America. It'll just

1786
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 1: be Hillary forever. I think That's how I feel. And

1787
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 1: then when she's out, we'll get Chelsea, and then when

1788
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:14,280
Speaker 1: Chelsea's out, will get Charlotte. So oh my gosh. Um

1789
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 1: all right, Emily, I think, wait, do we have no

1790
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 1: I think we've got to know we do we've got

1791
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 1: a minute, alright, It got sixty seconds before they're going

1792
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:24,080
Speaker 1: to run me into a break here. George Clooney is

1793
01:40:24,120 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 1: moving back to the US because of security concerns. Give

1794
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:29,360
Speaker 1: us the quick version of why we should care about

1795
01:40:29,360 --> 01:40:34,400
Speaker 1: clooney security. George Clooney, who is a very pro immigrant,

1796
01:40:34,560 --> 01:40:38,840
Speaker 1: pro refugee voice in Hollywood, has decided that he is

1797
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 1: not safe in England, where there have been a couple

1798
01:40:41,680 --> 01:40:45,200
Speaker 1: of terrorists attacks. So he's coming back to the United States,

1799
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:47,719
Speaker 1: where he is more protective than he is in Europe

1800
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:51,680
Speaker 1: because the immigrants are actually taking over Europe. I just

1801
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 1: I always remember that scene in Entourage where Johnny Drama

1802
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:56,280
Speaker 1: doesn't get the room he wants at the hotel at

1803
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:59,280
Speaker 1: the cann Film Festival and the snooty French guys like,

1804
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 1: oh yes, your cluney Field actor. So that's how I

1805
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 1: think of him now a time. Oh man, good good times.

1806
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:07,800
Speaker 1: There By the way, Game of Thrones this weekend. We'll

1807
01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:09,600
Speaker 1: talk to Emily about it next week. Emily is a

1808
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 1: naughty of heat Street. Everybody, Thank you so much, Emily,

1809
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Team hitting a break. Will be

1810
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 1: right back with a buck break. It's time for a

1811
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 1: Buck break. You are now entering the Freedom Hottal Operation Center.

1812
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:36,559
Speaker 1: All programs must be kept strictly. Need to know Team

1813
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 1: Buck is cleared and ready for the Buck brief. So,

1814
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:45,040
Speaker 1: the Iraqi military, after eight months of very difficult fighting,

1815
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 1: has secured the city of Mosle. They have managed to

1816
01:41:49,800 --> 01:41:54,479
Speaker 1: take the largest Sunni Arab majority city in Iraq back

1817
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: from the Islamic State. The Islamic State was able to

1818
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:03,880
Speaker 1: seize it Uh in June in a manner of days.

1819
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:07,320
Speaker 1: It took a number of years just to get into

1820
01:42:07,320 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 1: a place for the Iraqi government to be able to

1821
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:15,400
Speaker 1: mount this. Operation Uh used over a hundred thousand combined

1822
01:42:15,520 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 1: Iraqi security forces. There was U S assistance on the

1823
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:24,639
Speaker 1: ground and in the sky, a very formidable and essential

1824
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 1: air campaign as part of all this, and ISIS has

1825
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:33,799
Speaker 1: lost its most important city. So this is clearly something

1826
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 1: to mark as a milestone. Tough to say it should

1827
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: be celebrated when there's a recognition that there will still

1828
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:48,240
Speaker 1: be a lot of counterinsurgency operations in the days and

1829
01:42:48,360 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 1: weeks ahead. In fact, there are some who are already

1830
01:42:51,600 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 1: concerned about the possibility of there being an ISIS two

1831
01:42:56,320 --> 01:43:00,080
Speaker 1: point oh, which would really just be a return in

1832
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:04,000
Speaker 1: fact to the Islamic States origins from its earliest days.

1833
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 1: The Islamic State was actually Al Qaeda in Iraq, which

1834
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 1: was a breakaway from overall Al Qaeda. It was a

1835
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:17,559
Speaker 1: splinter faction led by Abu Musab al Zarkawi, and it

1836
01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: was a an insurgency. Its main operations all were focused

1837
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 1: around trying to destabilize the Iraqi government uh kill as

1838
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:34,200
Speaker 1: many American soldiers as possible, and just generally so fear

1839
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 1: and anarchy into the Iraqi into Iraqi society. So the

1840
01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 1: return of the Islamic State from being an entity that

1841
01:43:45,280 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 1: tries to hold and protect territory to being one that

1842
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 1: is merely in an insert I shouldn't say merely, because

1843
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 1: insurgencies can be brutal and incredibly difficult to stamp out,

1844
01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:02,759
Speaker 1: but it is certainly less than a a an entity

1845
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:07,280
Speaker 1: that can hold territory. And that's currently in the on

1846
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:10,839
Speaker 1: the Iraqi side of the equation where we see pretty

1847
01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:14,160
Speaker 1: much the Islamic State left. I mean, there are some

1848
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 1: towns and villages that are still in isis control. Tol Offer,

1849
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:23,519
Speaker 1: which is a city to the west, a smaller city

1850
01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 1: to the west of Moza on the way to the

1851
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:29,360
Speaker 1: Syrian border. Also Hawigia, which is a city towards the

1852
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:33,760
Speaker 1: Assyrian border in uh and Bar Province. So there are

1853
01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:36,840
Speaker 1: some places that are still under ISIS control, but there's

1854
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: not a major city with all of the propaganda value

1855
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:45,360
Speaker 1: of course that that has. But as there are official

1856
01:44:45,720 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 1: government celebrations and there was a holiday and people are

1857
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 1: clearly breathing a sigh of relief, I think relief more

1858
01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:56,479
Speaker 1: than celebration from everything that I'm seeing IS is the

1859
01:44:56,520 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: most accurate description of what's going on. But with all

1860
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:05,720
Speaker 1: of that happening, we have to also take stock of

1861
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:09,320
Speaker 1: what's gone on in Mosel itself. Eight months of fighting,

1862
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: almost nine and there are entire sections of the city

1863
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:19,440
Speaker 1: that have been flattened. There are neighborhoods of Mosel, particularly

1864
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:21,519
Speaker 1: the old city, which is on the west bank of

1865
01:45:21,560 --> 01:45:25,560
Speaker 1: the Tigris River. The Tigris River cuts down and bisects

1866
01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 1: the city of Mosel. In fact, Iraq, which is known

1867
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:36,559
Speaker 1: as the Land of the Two Rivers. In the previous

1868
01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:38,760
Speaker 1: reference to al Qaeda in the Land of the Two

1869
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 1: Rivers al Qaeda in Mesopotamia um. But the the reality

1870
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 1: is that and al Qaeda Mesopotamia is Tanzimka dot al Jihadibalafden.

1871
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:54,080
Speaker 1: My Arabic accident is probably terrible. Now it's been a

1872
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:56,599
Speaker 1: years since I studied it, but it's Alqaeda the land

1873
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:58,920
Speaker 1: of the two Rivers because of the Tigris and the

1874
01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 1: Euphrates Uh. The tigers cuts down through a rock from

1875
01:46:03,120 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 1: from the northwest corner, so the Tigress also runs right

1876
01:46:06,439 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 1: through Mosle. Moosle, an ancient city by the way, that

1877
01:46:09,560 --> 01:46:14,400
Speaker 1: has had a an important role on the Spice route.

1878
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:19,120
Speaker 1: And it's actually people talk about Muslim fabric as coming

1879
01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: from Mosel, and that's where we get the term for

1880
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:26,599
Speaker 1: that particular kind of cotton, So Muslin the cotton comes

1881
01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:29,599
Speaker 1: from Mosl. So Mosel is an ancient city and that

1882
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:33,080
Speaker 1: al Qaeda. I'm sorry that the Islamic state was able

1883
01:46:33,120 --> 01:46:35,000
Speaker 1: to seize and hold it for so many years. Was

1884
01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 1: an essential part of their propaganda and their message. But

1885
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:42,360
Speaker 1: now looking at Mosel, there are a whole portions of

1886
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:47,520
Speaker 1: the city that have been completely destroyed. The rebuilding process

1887
01:46:47,640 --> 01:46:50,439
Speaker 1: is going to be long, expensive and difficult, and there

1888
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:54,120
Speaker 1: are psychological and emotional scars. I mean, there is real

1889
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:59,360
Speaker 1: mass trauma that has affected this population, and there are

1890
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 1: already ports of infiltrators or Islamic State fighters who are

1891
01:47:07,320 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 1: taking this moment in time as an opportunity to melt

1892
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:16,240
Speaker 1: back into the general population. They merely shave their beards,

1893
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:22,240
Speaker 1: change out of their ISIS attire, assuming they're dressed in

1894
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:28,320
Speaker 1: all black and some paramilitary paramilitary paraphernalia. They are now

1895
01:47:28,360 --> 01:47:31,479
Speaker 1: just among the civilian population. And there are of course

1896
01:47:31,560 --> 01:47:35,240
Speaker 1: very real fears because even if the Iraqi government is

1897
01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:39,120
Speaker 1: able to maintain some degree of stability and security in

1898
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:43,639
Speaker 1: the city of Mosle itself, there will be uh terrorist

1899
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 1: attacks and there will also, i'm sure, be attempts to

1900
01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:52,400
Speaker 1: undermine the government by going after anyone who is, of

1901
01:47:52,439 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 1: course part of the police. Anyone who works with the

1902
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 1: Iraqi government will be targeted by these insurgents. That's just

1903
01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:03,760
Speaker 1: since it's just insurgency one oh one. So it is

1904
01:48:03,800 --> 01:48:07,600
Speaker 1: a moment in time to take a beat and to

1905
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 1: be um to be thankful. I'm sure the Iraqi people

1906
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 1: of Mosul, all those who weren't supporting ISIS, which I

1907
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 1: always think was a small portion of the city but

1908
01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:23,360
Speaker 1: not a completely inconsiderable one, but those who were not

1909
01:48:23,400 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 1: aligned with the Islamic State are in obviously much better

1910
01:48:28,320 --> 01:48:31,320
Speaker 1: shape now than they were beforehand. They're no longer living

1911
01:48:31,400 --> 01:48:37,240
Speaker 1: under a fascistic Islamic theocracy that murders people. Uh, and

1912
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: that is just a a death cult, which is what

1913
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:44,880
Speaker 1: the Islamic State at its core truly is. So taking

1914
01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:48,799
Speaker 1: taking a mosl is is an important staff. The Iraqi

1915
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 1: government is making very real progress against this enemy. And

1916
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:55,719
Speaker 1: I do think it's worth noting that this is happening

1917
01:48:55,960 --> 01:49:00,599
Speaker 1: under the Trump administration, and you're not hearing much about

1918
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 1: the acceleration of the strategy in Iraq and Syria, the

1919
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:10,840
Speaker 1: willingness to delegate more authority to US commanders in theater

1920
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 1: to make decisions to move this fight against the Islamic

1921
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 1: State along much more quickly. So I think if you

1922
01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:20,800
Speaker 1: had a democrat in office, I don't mean to politicize

1923
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:22,720
Speaker 1: what is a national security issue, but if you had

1924
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 1: a democrat in office, I assure you there would be

1925
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:29,559
Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about how that democrat was the

1926
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 1: second coming of patent and was the reason for this

1927
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:36,719
Speaker 1: success on the ground in Iraq and Syria, which let's

1928
01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:41,240
Speaker 1: be clear, this is predominantly and overwhelmingly in Iraqi fight

1929
01:49:41,320 --> 01:49:44,320
Speaker 1: and in Iraqi success. We have enabled it, we have

1930
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 1: assisted and our soldiers in theater were an essential and

1931
01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:52,800
Speaker 1: integral part. But most of the house to house, the

1932
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:56,360
Speaker 1: door kicking, and the overall security operation was as it

1933
01:49:56,400 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 1: should be the Iraqi. So this may be a model

1934
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:05,400
Speaker 1: for other operations, particularly counter terrorism operations in the region,

1935
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:09,559
Speaker 1: where we use a partner UH to do the ground

1936
01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 1: fighting and we provide other necessary support to make the

1937
01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 1: fight go more quickly and with fewer casualties. By the way,

1938
01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:20,519
Speaker 1: Iraqi casualties are not known froms the Iraqi military. UH.

1939
01:50:20,600 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 1: They're keeping it pretty uh close uh closely held, but

1940
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:27,000
Speaker 1: I will say that they are The reports I have

1941
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 1: seen suggest that close to a thousand Iraqi soldiers were

1942
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:34,280
Speaker 1: casualties of this fight to take back Moses. That's just

1943
01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:38,240
Speaker 1: one city, UH, and eight hundred thousand civilians had to

1944
01:50:38,520 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 1: flee the city. I don't know. No one knows what

1945
01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:44,040
Speaker 1: the population to Mosle is right now or how many

1946
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 1: will come back. But it was a very difficult fight. UH.

1947
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 1: The mosque where Abu Baker al Baghdaddy proclaimed the Islamic

1948
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:55,120
Speaker 1: State was destroyed by ISIS on their way out, So

1949
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:58,720
Speaker 1: there is damage that is psychological and there's obviously a

1950
01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:03,519
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of damage to the city itself. So this

1951
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:08,320
Speaker 1: now will be a question for the Iraqi. The big

1952
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 1: question for the Iraqi authorities will be can they engage

1953
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:16,920
Speaker 1: in successful counter terrorism operations UH and counterinsurgency operations to

1954
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:20,080
Speaker 1: deal with the remnants of ISIS because there will clearly

1955
01:51:20,120 --> 01:51:24,840
Speaker 1: be holdovers, there will be people who UH maybe are

1956
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:28,559
Speaker 1: are fighting more from the shadows, but are still a

1957
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 1: lethal adversary and one that will be trying to undermine

1958
01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:35,440
Speaker 1: the Iraqi government at every turn. The fight in Syria

1959
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 1: is complicated by the fact well a number of factors,

1960
01:51:38,400 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 1: but not the least of which is that in Iraq

1961
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 1: we had a government partner to work with that could

1962
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:49,599
Speaker 1: bring to bear some resources of a state, whereas in

1963
01:51:50,240 --> 01:51:54,120
Speaker 1: Syria the state is still technically the Assad regime. The

1964
01:51:54,200 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 1: Islamic state is on the run and fighting for its

1965
01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 1: fighting for its survival in Rocca. But we don't have

1966
01:52:01,439 --> 01:52:04,680
Speaker 1: a government, an official government, an official state entity and

1967
01:52:04,760 --> 01:52:08,720
Speaker 1: military to work with in Syria. So we're working with militia,

1968
01:52:08,840 --> 01:52:12,639
Speaker 1: with anti Assad forces, with Arab and Kurdish fighters, which

1969
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:16,240
Speaker 1: just means that that fight he's going to be even

1970
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 1: more complicated, not just in this phase, but in the

1971
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:23,439
Speaker 1: holding phase. Remember it's clear and hold. They have cleared Mosile,

1972
01:52:23,479 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 1: they have to hold it. They are still clear clearing

1973
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,920
Speaker 1: Rocca and the surrounding areas in Syria. So this is

1974
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:33,200
Speaker 1: I just wanted to update us all on the counter

1975
01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:36,720
Speaker 1: terrorism and basically the counter isis operation we can really

1976
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:39,920
Speaker 1: call it that that's going on in Iraq and Syria

1977
01:52:40,160 --> 01:52:44,400
Speaker 1: and substantial progress, but a lot of reason to continue

1978
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: to be vigilant and and to focus in on this issue,

1979
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,800
Speaker 1: because if there is a major security lapse, uh, there

1980
01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:53,639
Speaker 1: could be another if another city where to fall, let's

1981
01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:56,360
Speaker 1: say in Iraq to the Islamic State, or if there

1982
01:52:56,520 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 1: was a major rebounding of the Islamic State, would it

1983
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:03,320
Speaker 1: would draws deeper into the region. And I think there

1984
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:08,520
Speaker 1: could be some very uh well unforeseeable, but severe ramification.

1985
01:53:08,640 --> 01:53:12,160
Speaker 1: So it's important to stay focused on the issue. Uh. Team,
