1
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: Mr Garbutschof teared down this wall. Either you're with us

2
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: or you were with the terrorists. If you've got healthcare already,

3
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: then you can keep your plan. If you are satisfied

4
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: with Trump is not, President said, take it to a

5
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: bank together. We will make America great again. We'll never

6
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: sharend It's what you've been waiting for all day. The

7
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck Toll free

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: at eight four four nine hundred Buck. That's eight four

9
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: four nine hundred to eight to five the future of

10
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: talk radio, Buck Sexton. Russia has made the decision to

11
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: expel sixty of our staff from that country and also

12
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: closed down our consulate in St. Petersburg. A short while ago,

13
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: I spoke with our US Ambassador to Russia, John Huntsman,

14
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: who is serving over there. We spoke by phone and

15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: he shared with me a statement which I'd like to

16
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: read with you this evening. Ambassador John Huntsman was convoked

17
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: The Russian Federation dubbed sixty of our staff persona non

19
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: grata and they now must depart within seven days. They

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: also ordered the closure of our Consulate in St. Petersburg

21
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: within forty eight hours. It's clear from the list provided

22
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: to us that the Russian Federation is not interested in

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: a dialogue on issues that matter to our two countries.

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Buck, Sex and show everybody you heard

25
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: the announcement there from the State Department. Russia retaliates against

26
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: us after we retaliated against Russia for some of their

27
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: poor behavior, for some of the government's actions around the world,

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: most notably in recent weeks, the poisoning of a Russian

29
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: dissident former Well, the guy was formally rushing himself with

30
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: anov chuck, so they left chemical weapons fingerprints on that

31
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: assassination attempt, and now we are pushing back on them.

32
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to spend too much time on Russia.

33
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: I just want to leave with though, because I would

34
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: like us to be a little cautious as a people

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: about how much we cheer on all this brinksmanship stuff

36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: with Russia, or this this notion of a tit for tat,

37
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: I for an eye. I'm not saying we do nothing,

38
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: but this administration, the Trump administration, is now much more

39
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: aggressive in its responses to Russian You can say Russian

40
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: aggression around the world, and the Obama administration was at

41
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: any point in its eight years, And I worry that

42
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: a lot of this has been uh pushed forward because

43
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: of the hysteria around the election meddling stuff. So, you know, Democrats,

44
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: who usually would be the one saying whoa, whoa, we

45
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: don't we don't want to, we don't want to be

46
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: the ones that are, you know, messing around with this

47
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: nuclear power. Let's all. Ever, everybody calm down, a little bit,

48
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: calm down. Instead they're like, yeah, get him. You know.

49
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: The Democrats usually wants telling us to back off, cave

50
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: to the dictator, don't worry about the strong man, the

51
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: U n will handle it. But because they think that

52
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Russia stole the election from Hillary, they're all, you know, yeah, like,

53
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: why doesn't Trump take a tougher line on Russia, a

54
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: tougher line on Russia. The Russian economy is not formidable

55
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: as compared to OURUS at all, but Russia's ability to

56
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: cause problems for US in other ways, not directly militarily,

57
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: but through third parties, through proxies, Russia's Arsenal, which has

58
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff. Ever, I mean, how many of

59
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: us let's be honest, even knew what nov Chuck was

60
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: before it appeared in the newspapers as a chemical weapon

61
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: that was proprietary ry to the Russians that they used

62
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: in an assassination attempt. They got all kinds of nasty stuff.

63
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 1: But now we seem to have a situation where the

64
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: media and the establishment has gone from saying Trump is

65
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: so weak on Russia to oh wow, Okay, Trump is

66
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: doing a lot. That's a good thing. And I worry

67
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: that now you've got everybody, it's like everyone's rowing in

68
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: the same direction on this one. And maybe just we

69
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: need to keep an eye on how much we want

70
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: to antagonize Russia for any number of these issues that

71
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: the administration has tackled in the last twelve months or so,

72
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: and even before that, remember there were the obamaministration put

73
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: sanctions on where Obama was a lame duck president. That's

74
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: an easy thing to do, but we we should not,

75
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: we should not be to cavalier about poking at this

76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: country time and time again in the ways that we are.

77
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: There are a lot of ways they can make things

78
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: difficult for us, and it would be better, It would

79
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: be much better if, in fact, we were in a

80
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: place where we could find common ground with Russia, and

81
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: and the environment has become such that you even say

82
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: that almost sounds now like you're some kind of a

83
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: turn coat, right, you know, we should find common ground

84
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: with Russia. Oh does potent have video of you with

85
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: the hookers or something? I mean, it's always, that's always

86
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: the response. Now in one way or another, you're insufficiently

87
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: pro American or you're insufficiently loyal to America. Now, and

88
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: this is kinda and it's not bipartisan, but you've seen

89
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,119
Speaker 1: this in both parties. If you even raise the idea

90
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: of let's have a more constructive relationship with Russia, that's

91
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: not just premised on you know, you do this, and

92
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: we do that in response, and it's heading in a

93
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: very negative direction. I would also know that Russia is

94
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot less important to the United it States

95
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: in every sense then China. And yet you have all

96
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: this piling on oh trum putting the dictator and all

97
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: this bad stuff, and so much less of the media's

98
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: attention spent on China and the the economic and military

99
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: challenge that it poses for us. You know, Cyberg gets

100
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: a little more tension Now this is just a reflection

101
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: of the Trump's arrangement syndrome that's been pushing the media

102
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: now for gosh, I don't even know how many, you know,

103
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: eighteen months, pushing the media to run with this Russia

104
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: story as though it's such a big deal. So everything

105
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: with Russia is magnified, is what I'm saying. And the

106
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: environment now is a little bit of a frenzy. There's

107
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hysteria and yeah, yeah, get Russia. Okay,

108
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: let's let's just pump the brakes a little bit on this, right.

109
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Russia is really not a country that affects your day

110
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: to day very much, doesn't affect my day to day

111
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: very much, and yet it's a ordered on the media

112
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: all the time. This obsession with Putin and we all

113
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: know why hasn't changed really at all as a country

114
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: since Obama was in office. But now all of a sudden,

115
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: it's and I think, and this is I guess my

116
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: cautionary note here. I feel like it's some level the

117
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: democrat and media is like the guy who's you know,

118
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: at the other end of the bar, who's saying, yeah,

119
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: get him, just to see if you can get yourself

120
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: into some trouble, you know, egging you on, egging us,

121
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: meaning America on to go after Russia, wondering if maybe

122
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: we'll make a blunder along the way. We've got big

123
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: We've got big financial issues that are heading for this country. Uh.

124
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: The more I dig into it, the more time I

125
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: spent thinking about it. It's coming, folks, And it's a

126
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: function of math. I'm not pretending that I've got some

127
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: crystal ball here, and I can tell you when it

128
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: is a function of math. We are twenty one trillion

129
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: in debt. We don't even talk about dealing with our

130
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: debts anymore. We passed them on the future generations. It

131
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: is entered generational theft. It is happening on a multi

132
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: trillion dollar, multi decade basis, and it is unsustainable even

133
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: for us. Our country is in a little bit of

134
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: of a of a hubris about how much debt we

135
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: can how much we can play games with credit, how

136
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: much debt we can carry, and this is an issue

137
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: that we have to deal with sooner than later. But

138
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: there's nothing on this. Instead, it's all, yeah, we expelled

139
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: some Russian diplomats, they expelled our diplomats. Okay, Fine, It's

140
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: a news story that's much more instant the media than

141
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: it is to you and me. And that's because, ultimately,

142
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: do you think anyone will care or even remember in

143
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: six months. The only thing that I think that that

144
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: could make it important is it is now creating something

145
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: of a momentum in the short term where there could

146
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: be a miscalculation, there could be an over and over

147
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: reaction Russia could decide make things very nasty for US.

148
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: I've always been concerned about Russian support to the Taliban,

149
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: which US four star Jen Rolls have been saying. You know,

150
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: at least one general in particularly been saying, I think

151
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: there's a problem we got here. Guys, think about what

152
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: happens if they decided to turn up that uh turn

153
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: up that heat. I could get very ugly, very quickly.

154
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: So I have my concerns here. I know it's being

155
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: celebrated as a victory, and you know it's harder for

156
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: them to rome with the Trump is a Russian puppet

157
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: narrative when Trump is going after Russia more than than

158
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: any of his recent predecessors have. But that doesn't mean

159
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: that we should get too enthusiastic about it either. I

160
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about the the decision not

161
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: to create a second special counsel. I think it's the

162
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: right one. I'll get into why that is, um and

163
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: we will also talk about Oh, I've got more on

164
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: Roseanne for you. I watched the show two episodes in fact,

165
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: and I did not well, let's let's just leave that

166
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: out there. But if a cliffhanger for you, I don't

167
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: want to tell you who gets the rose I gotta

168
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: wait till after the commercial. I don't know how many

169
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: of you watch The Bachelor. Ms. Molly has made me

170
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: watch it like a few times. Calm back, calm down, nonsense.

171
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, she twisted my arm. That's right. And

172
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: we've got we've got a whole bunch of things we've

173
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: gotta hit on. So we have a pack show, as

174
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: we always do. If you want to add your voice

175
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: into the mix here eight four four to five eight fuck,

176
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. But certainly, drugs are flowing across borders.

177
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: We need walls. We started building our wall. I'm so

178
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: proud of it. We started, We started. We have one

179
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: point six billions and we've already started. You saw the

180
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: pictures yesterday. I said, what a thing of beauty and

181
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: we're getting that sucker built. And you think that's easy.

182
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: People said, oh, has he given up on the one nine?

183
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: Never give up. I never. We have one point six

184
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: billion towards the wall. That's what I do is I build.

185
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: I was always very good at building. It was always

186
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: my best thing. I think better than being president. I

187
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: was maybe good at building. So Trump saying we're getting

188
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: the wall right here, we are, Omnibus passed, and he's

189
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: saying there's gonna be a walt No one thinks one

190
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: point six billion is gonna be enough. So what's the

191
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: next step. I know there are these theories out there,

192
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: and they've been floated by Trump himself that he's gonna

193
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: use military spending. I think that could lead to an

194
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: immediate challenge in federal court, which would delay anything. But

195
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: I m hm. And Trump is saying it's one point

196
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: six billion and that that's gonna be a good start.

197
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: Gets a little frustrating sometimes. And we're gonna talk about

198
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: other things to do on the show. I want to

199
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: talk to you more about the deep state, taking the

200
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: deep state on. We'll get into that in a few minutes.

201
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: But I've I've seen some of the commentary from some

202
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: very ardent Trump supporters. You know, I think it's hard

203
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: to find somebody who was earlier on in her support

204
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: for a Trump presidency than than Ann Coulter. And we've

205
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: had I've had on I don't know how many times

206
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: I've had her on radio shows in the past a bunch,

207
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: and she is really going after Trump on this and now,

208
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: I like, I think she's just offering up this criticism

209
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: of Trump as a as a corrective in the aftermath

210
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: of that whole omnibus bill situation. I think so. But

211
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: be prepared for some some harsh, some harsh stuff from

212
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 1: from his culture regarding Trump, who She wrote a book,

213
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: you remember before the presidency, like Trump is the most

214
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: awesome thing ever or something. It was something it was

215
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: like that, that was that was the book. I mean,

216
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: I forget what the exact title was, but it was

217
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: like Trump is the most amazing thing ever. She refers

218
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: to him sometimes as the Emperor God Trump, you know,

219
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: like ants. It's very very witty, very funny. But she

220
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: is not taking this wall omnibus bill situation lightly at all.

221
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: It was precisely that he was so course that allowed

222
00:12:54,720 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: him to make these say these incredibly courageous things. He

223
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: didn't care what Manhattan eleas thought of it against to

224
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: the White House. Suddenly all he wants is the approval

225
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: of the Manhattan fancy people. He sure didn't care for

226
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: the eighteen months he was running so the shallow course

227
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: ignoram us. Yes, it was a selling point because he

228
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: didn't care what people thought of him. Now all he

229
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: wants is for Goldman Sachs to like him. I don't

230
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: know what happened, but that's a different president. I haven't changed.

231
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: She's upset about what's going on here about the wall,

232
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: as you can see, and I will know that in

233
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: her I think she said this week or in a

234
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: column this week, she says, if Trump builds the wall,

235
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: I'll retract everything mean I've ever said. And he's totally right,

236
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: and he's the most amazing president ever. Again, but I

237
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: gotta say, folks, I just wanna establish now that we

238
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: this is not one that we can explain away if

239
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. If it doesn't happen, the president didn't

240
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: make it happen. And this was a promise that it

241
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: was what separated him from Rubio and the others. This

242
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: is what was different. He's willingness to even talk about this.

243
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: It's one of the only reasons we can even discuss

244
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: immigration now in the context of how it's not always

245
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: how a legal immigration, for example, is not just one

246
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: big pile of awesome for US. UM. But he's he's

247
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: saying it's gonna get built. I'm I'm withhold. I'm not

248
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: withholding judgment entirely, but I can't give a final judgment

249
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: on this until we know whether or not it actually happens. UM.

250
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: We also have California today, very very noteworthy backing off

251
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of the UH sanctuary city mandates that

252
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: they've put in place. California has laws that are completely

253
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: completely out of control when it comes to immigrations and

254
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: customs enforcement. And now we're gonna have to see if,

255
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: in fact they're gonna ease off a little bit at

256
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 1: the state level because Orange cown he has said that

257
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: they they want to oppose the sanctuary laws that are

258
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: in place here. And you get into this this fight

259
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: at will the state pushed back on this. Will the state,

260
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: when I mean I don't mean the big es state,

261
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean the state of California say no, you have

262
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: to do this you have to this way, we say, um,

263
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: but you know, these are only debates and discussions that

264
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: are happening because of Trump's standard immigration. And I would

265
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: note I mentioned and before people sometimes forget this. Trump

266
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: read or at least took the argument from Audios America

267
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: and ran with that in the beginning. And that's how

268
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: you remember the comment that all of a sudden, people like, whoa,

269
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: he's way ahead and the polls was about Mexico not

270
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: sending us their best. That was such a a bolt

271
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: of lightning in terms of what the political consensus allowed

272
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: at that point in time, meaning that it was just

273
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: like what did he say? Right? It was it was

274
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: a shock to the system. And then the promises about

275
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: the wall came up, and now here we are and

276
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: he's saying he's gonna get it built. He saying it's

277
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna get done. We have to hold him to account

278
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: on this, and we absolutely have to. Um. He's also

279
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: saying by that he's going to protect the Second Amendment.

280
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: I have no no concerns about that, and respected in

281
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: some circles Democrat said we want to get rid, we

282
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: should get rid of our Second Amendment. In other words,

283
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: get rid of it. That's really Chris could be right

284
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: about that. Your Second Amendment will always be your second Amendment.

285
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: We're not doing anything to that, and yet there's such

286
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: a dishonesty out there. I think gas lighting is a

287
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: is a term that I'm familiar with from the left

288
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,119
Speaker 1: where and I believe it's taken initially from abusive situations

289
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: where somebody says, somebody will hit somebody. This is like

290
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: domestic relationship situation, will hit somebody and then you know,

291
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: an hour later we're like, I didn't hit you, and

292
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: it's a form of psychological abuse. Uh. There's some kind

293
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: of gas lighting that goes on with the media and

294
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: the repeal of the Second Amendment, where they'll have big

295
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: outlets run with the story and then they'll and they'll

296
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: put the opinion out there if yeah, yeah, we should

297
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: repeal the Second Amendment, And then when people go, whoa

298
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: hold on a second? You want to be the second

299
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, no, no one said, no one

300
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: sang that, No one sang it. Well, well, which is it?

301
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: Can we get some Can we get some clarity on

302
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: that one? That would be I think particularly word while

303
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: and then one more thing, I mean Trump spoke earlier today.

304
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: So this is just another one one that comes to

305
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: mind here. On taxes. They all want to be back

306
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: in the USA, A lot of them left. They're coming back.

307
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: We've eliminated a record number of job killing regulations. That's

308
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: one of the reasons they're coming back. We killed the

309
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: regulation and it's a thing of beauty. So I think

310
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: that's been a big, big success and a re and

311
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: for our success, and we've made history by massively reducing

312
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: job killing taxes. I'm all for it, but let's be clear,

313
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: reducing taxes is about as mainstream a GOP position as

314
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: you're ever gonna find. That's not revolutionary at all. I'm

315
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: happy for it. I'm not discounting it. Baba Bucka definitely

316
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: Papa Buck needs a new pair of shoes. Literally, my

317
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: sneakers that I try to work out in once a

318
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: month are wearing out on me entirely. So I'm all

319
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: for the tax thing. But when I talked about the

320
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: Trump Agenda, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the aspects of it

321
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: that are different than the GOP, different than the swamp,

322
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: different than what has been business as usual. We gotta

323
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: hold them to that, folks. We're gonna stay on it.

324
00:18:46,200 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: We'll go back. He's back with you now, because when

325
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: it comes to the fight for truth, the funk never stops.

326
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: The Democrats appear like they weaponize to some degree the

327
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:14,719
Speaker 1: intelligence services by using the foreign intelligence surveillance apparatus in

328
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: this country to go and target the opposition campaign is

329
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: totally unacceptable, and that's what happened here. I am happy

330
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: that Bob good Laugh subpoened these one point two million documents,

331
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: but I said this earlier in the week. We need

332
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: those documents. Like yesterday, I think we're going to get

333
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: all the documents, and if we don't, then we should

334
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: move quickly to contempt, and then we should move to impeachment.

335
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: One of the mistakes we made is we never impeached

336
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: Lois Lerner and we never impeached Costagan. Had we gotten

337
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: later with it, we wouldn't be here today. They got

338
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: away with faith. Devin Noon is laying down some heat

339
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: as he should. Look. The reality I think here has

340
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: been clear for a while, and that is is people

341
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: in very senior positions in the government under the Obama

342
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: administration who figured that Hillary was definitely gonna win, but

343
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: they wanted to make sure that she won they wanted

344
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: to help um, and they also were terrified of the

345
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: notion of a Trump residency. Abused their discretion and their

346
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: authority and did what they could to try to dig

347
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: up dirt on Trump or just create this whole narrative.

348
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: You know all that, right. I mean, we've even add

349
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: nauseum on this story because the media keeps coming. Although

350
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: right now, I'll tell you they're much more interested in

351
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels there's the main story and CNN right now

352
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: than they aren't anything having to with Russia, including the

353
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: expulsion of sixty of our diplomats by the Russians. That's

354
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: that's uh second to your stuff, the the minutia that

355
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: gets attention from the left. When it comes to Stormy

356
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: Daniels stuff, it's like a Stormy Daniels lawyer had a bacon,

357
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: egg and cheese McMuffin this morning. I mean, the stuff

358
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: they're running with OVERTENA it's like not not even news,

359
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: it's just just they want to they want to flash

360
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: photos on the screen of the porn star that alleged

361
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: the affair. And I guess their audience. I guess people

362
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: that hate Trump likes seeing this over and over again.

363
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: It affects them not one bit, and it's really not interesting.

364
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: But here we are. It's the main story. And I

365
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: do believe by the way they're they're laying off the

366
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: Russia stuff right now because they want this whole policy

367
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: response from Trump to pass and then they can start

368
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: pounding the Trump is in Russia's pocket. Druma again, But

369
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: right now it's a little too much dissonance, even for

370
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: CNN if such a thing as possible and apples or banana, bananas,

371
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: an apple, it's all the same thing. But on the

372
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: weaponization of the intelligence community, specifically d o J and FBI,

373
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: which is I like to note the scariest part of

374
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: the government. Like I said before, prosecutors are very frighting,

375
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: but also the DJ in general. You do not ever

376
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: want to be sitting across the table from a U

377
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: S attorney or an assistant U S attorney discussing your

378
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: options for a plea. You know, there's no parole in

379
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: the federal government system, so you serve the whole sentence,

380
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:22,959
Speaker 1: and the mandatory minimums are rough. So at the federal government,

381
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: including for crimes, you're like, wait, what we're not talking

382
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: about for acts murderers, here folks were talking about for

383
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: male fraud. We're talking about for for other things. I'm

384
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: pretty sure a woman actually just got Speaking of how

385
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: our justice system, I think honestly that the way that

386
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: punishment has told out our justice system in a lot

387
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: of ways doesn't make very much sense. Um. I think

388
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: a woman just got five years for voting illegally in Texas.

389
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I saw that today. Five years in prison,

390
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: forecasting and illegal one illegal vote. She was a felon

391
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: and did not know and said she did not know

392
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: that she was not allowed to vote after the completion

393
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: of her sentence. But you'd be surprised which you get

394
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: sent away for and how long you know you commit it.

395
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: You commit fraud, you you could be facing a long

396
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 1: stretch in the pen if you're somebody who you know,

397
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: do something really terrible and violent. Depending on whether you

398
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: go to state core, if it's not federal state, you

399
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: know you might have a better shot. You know, you

400
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: just don't know. There are definitely people that serve more

401
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: time for white collar crimes in many instances than for uh,

402
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 1: manslaughter for example, if you take a please anyway, So

403
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: the the Attorney General, my buddy Jeff As you know,

404
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: he has said that the special prosecutor is not going

405
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: to be the option the d o J goes with

406
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: right now to look into all this stuff. Special prosecutor

407
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: is not the way, not the way to go. They're

408
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna have the Inspector General. Look, I think this is

409
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: the right move, and I think it's the right move

410
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons. For one, if it comes

411
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: from inside the Department of Justice itself, I think now

412
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: you can argue this one. But I think that it

413
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: seems a little more like, well, it's just the normal process,

414
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: and if you set up a separate special council, it

415
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: looks like you're just trying to you know, you're trying

416
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: to do a Yeah, I'm doing this as well. You know,

417
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: it's fighting fire with fire, but so political, because the

418
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: current special council, the Mueller probe is so obviously a

419
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: witch hunt against Trump, to set up another special council

420
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 1: may look like you're just trying to dirty up the

421
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: other side, whereas you could just use the Inspector General

422
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: and the internal processes of the Department of Justice to

423
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: get this information. Well, we've seen this week is not

424
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: only that decision coming out from Jeff Sessions, but also

425
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: the FBI now has agreed two and this is under

426
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: FBI Director Ray to move more quickly on things, because

427
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: my friends, FBI is playing games here, no question about it.

428
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: I don't mean the whole FBI. I'm not saying like

429
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: every field agent in you know, Topeka is messing around

430
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: with the books or something. I mean, at the top

431
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 1: level in d C, at at FBI, h Q, there

432
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: are decisions that are being made that are at a

433
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: minimum skewed towards defending the bureau's reputation at a minimum,

434
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: and that's not the way that's supposed to be. We

435
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: should have a full accounting of the facts, or we

436
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: should know exactly what happened. You know, You're starting to

437
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: see a problem here, the disparities and the hypocrisy, right,

438
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: the disparity between the Hillary Clinton email investigation. How are

439
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: witnesses treated, How is Hillary treated? How was the law read?

440
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: And then how the special counsel has been going with Trump? Right,

441
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: how are those witnesses treated? Is anything overlooked? Is any

442
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: has anyone given the benefit of the doubt? You know,

443
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: does the tie go to the runner with Hillary? You know,

444
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: and even have to run to the base and they

445
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: were calling you safe with Trump. You're getting tagged after

446
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: you've dusted yourself off already hit the base and they're

447
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: calling you out right. It's it's a very disparate treatment.

448
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: But within the d o J itself, what you see

449
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: is if if you lie to d o J, are

450
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: you engage in any kind of hiding or impropriety, you

451
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: as a private citizen, particularly if you're tied to Trump,

452
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: you're you're dunzo. I mean, you are gonna get crushed.

453
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 1: But if you happen to work for the d o J,

454
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: you know there's gonna be a lot of efforts to

455
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: try to keep stuff secret, and you know that they're

456
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: going to cover for you. The fact that the text

457
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: messages between Struck, the FBI agent and his UH mistress

458
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: Page talked about this judge and how they wanted to

459
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: make sure that they could meet with the judge and

460
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: not recuse themself. That judge was overseeing the Flinm case

461
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: at the time. That's a big deal. Why would the FBI,

462
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: on on what legitimate grounds would they hold that back

463
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: from us? The answer is none. The answer is that

464
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: they're protecting the reputation of the Bureau and they think

465
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: they have a very wide mandate to do that. And

466
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that that is troubling. We

467
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: see time and again political abuses in agencies that have

468
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot of power FBI i r S with

469
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: Lois Learner, as was mentioned, and there's no accountability. There

470
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: is no accountability, and the government seems to think that

471
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: they can rely on secretcy. Remember there was a lot

472
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: of secrecy in the i R S too. Can't release

473
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: tax and tax information, can't release this, can't release that,

474
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: you know, criminal liability. I think even for people to

475
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: release private tax information, uh, that's you know, that they've

476
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,479
Speaker 1: gotten from a third party. So they are all kinds

477
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: of problems, all kinds of issues with how the government

478
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: tries to keep information back from us, and we just

479
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: have to demand to see it. We have to say,

480
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: you know what, this is enough of the games. You know,

481
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: this FISA abuse situation. This should be a four alarm fire.

482
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: To my my friends out there who are fireman, I

483
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: don't know if that's the what's the most for a fire?

484
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: Is it four alarms or five alarms? I mean, if

485
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: if stuff gets like really wild, if it's like a raging,

486
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: fiery tornado inferno? Is that like a six alarm fire?

487
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know fireman stuff. I just

488
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: remember all the funny jokes that the m YPD you

489
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: used to make about the f d n Y and

490
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: I can't repeat them on air because I don't want

491
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: to get in the middle of that. But I think

492
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: fore alarm fires the most anyway, it should be a

493
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: forelarm fire using despying apparatus of the United States government.

494
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: I also know this is another thing? Is am I right?

495
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: Forelarm fire or five? Come on, John? What do you

496
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: got for me? Ten alarm fire? Whoa not? Six? Seven? Um?

497
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: All right, well, apparently there's ten alarm fires which I

498
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: didn't know about. That must be crazy. I must be

499
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: like staring into the mouth of the volcano. Right, that's

500
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: that's a ten alarm fire. But the the spying apparacity

501
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: the United States government another note here, we had this

502
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: thing now if not ever referring to spying. You know

503
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: it's interesting, isn't it. I mean you had h I

504
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: think the former CI director say that the agency for example,

505
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: like doesn't doesn't really doesn't spy here, it's just intelligence no,

506
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: there's spying, right, there's spying going on. And when people

507
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: are intercepting your communications, that's you can call it surveillance,

508
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: which is a sort of a fancy French word for spying,

509
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: because that's what it is, the surveyance. Say it like

510
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: that and all of a sudden sounds a little cooler

511
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: or not. But the spying apparatus of the United States

512
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: government was used for political purposes. And as I've said

513
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: to you, all they had to get was one really

514
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: juicy nugget, you know, all they had to get was

515
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: one bit of information that was either it didn't even

516
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: have to be criminal, it just had to be so

517
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: of politically damaging that it could be leaked the Washington

518
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: Then would all be over right? I mean, just imagine

519
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: for one second that you know, somebody that they had

520
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 1: under surveillance, where they they when they gathered these communications

521
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: from Carter Page or somebody else, there was something off

522
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: hand said that was really and you you don't need

523
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: me to to paint a picture here, you can think

524
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: of it yourself. Right, this is a hypothetical, but really, uh,

525
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: not something you'd want publicized that got out there from

526
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: any member of the campaign or or even from somebody

527
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, Trump or somebody right around him at the

528
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: top level, could have been the end, right, just one email,

529
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: one text message and if you have the legal discretion

530
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: to look for that information based on Carter Page is

531
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: running some international conspiracy and Carter Page is a clown.

532
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: He may be a reasonably nice guy, I don't know,

533
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: but he's a clown. He's not doing any conspiracy. He's

534
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: the center of this whole thing. He's the centerpiece of

535
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: all of this. You know, Ever since I interviewed Julian Assans,

536
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, I've been a little worried about

537
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: my own communications. That was like a year ago. I'm like,

538
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: oh gosh, they I shouldn't. Maybe I shouldn't do this

539
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: from you know, an I P address that's actually tied

540
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: to me. But anyway, just talk to the guy. But

541
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: we don't want our government spying on us. This should

542
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: be a really big deal, a really big story. Notice

543
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: how the same people who are up in arms about

544
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: whether Facebook shared information that Facebook already has with a

545
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: third party for the purposes of marketing, when they're doing

546
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 1: that all the time anyway, those people are so freaked

547
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: out about information they are freely giving to the government.

548
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: Are somehow on the other side of this, people who

549
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: are telling you that miking up Carter Page is entire

550
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: life basically based on this preposterous idea that he's a

551
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: Russian agent. Is okay, this is the single most important

552
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: thing the Department of Justice can do right now, get

553
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: us answers and the truth on this. I think the

554
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: Inspector General is equipped for it. I think a special

555
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: counsel is probably not needed as long as the i G.

556
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: Is pushing hard and Jeff Sessions is going to push it.

557
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: And I think that's, uh, that's where we are on this,

558
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: so we'll see. Um. But you know there are these

559
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: text messages about different figures involved in this by possible coordination.

560
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: We we need this stuff to be out there. I

561
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: want the facts, all right, all right, I know I've

562
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: run longer. I'm gonna run to a break. Uh. Let's

563
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: just do that and I'll come right back. I got

564
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: a lot more, well, John, just so you know you

565
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: did not overstate it. My friend, uh, Mike, send this

566
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: to me. A sixteen alarm fire, which is this is

567
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: the the the fiery Sharknado of fires. I mean, I

568
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: didn't even know that was a thing sixteen alarm fire

569
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn back in Um, I don't. I mean, I

570
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: don't think they could. That's not really a fire. I

571
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I I just learned. I've

572
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: heard about like a fore alarm fire before. I just

573
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: realized I don't know any of my firefighting. All I

574
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 1: know I learned from backdraft, and I'm assuming that's not

575
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: very much. So, if any, we actually have a lot

576
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: of listeners who were firefighters, so you know, send me

577
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: some resources so I can actually learn how this goes.

578
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: I know that, you know, they build the trucks, they

579
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: make a lot of noise, they bring water, they wear suits.

580
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: You know. I don't know. I don't know much about

581
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: it at all. And then I always was. I was

582
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: just always a musing I was never given the other

583
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: side of it, which is the fire department guys making

584
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: fun of the NYPD guys, and I never got that

585
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: part of it, which I'm sure there's also a lot

586
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: of a lot of humor that goes back and forth.

587
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, apparently sixty sixteen alarm fire. So it's it's

588
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: whatever the producer Mike is has got my back here.

589
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: He says, the number of alarms generally indicates how many

590
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: firefighters and vehicles are dispatched, So it's whatever the fire,

591
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: and now it all makes sense, alright. He thanks, thanks Mike.

592
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: I had a feeling of something like that, by the way,

593
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 1: if it had to be so. I hear this stuff sometimes.

594
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 1: I had a high school classmate, you know, I don't

595
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: even remember if he ended up doing it, but I

596
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: thought the guy had his stuff together because we were

597
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: all sitting around talking about how we were gonna try

598
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: to go to like grad school or something and become lawyers.

599
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: My high school is a lawyer factory man. Everyone ended

600
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: up being a lawyer. And and he's like nice, like

601
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: I want to be a fireman, and we're all like

602
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: we kind of looked at him, and you know, I mean, look,

603
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: that's that's cool. I mean it's you know, I worked

604
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: for the police department for a while. But I just

605
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: it was funny because he wasn't like, I want to

606
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: be a fireman, and he hadn't thought about it. He's like,

607
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: the pension system is amazing. I get to work out

608
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: all day. You get to like have this amazing schedule.

609
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: You can you can retire, at least in New York.

610
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: I think you retire the twenty years no matter how

611
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: old you are when you join, you get all kinds

612
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: of good O. T He had like we're we were

613
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: like sixteen. He had worked this out to the tape.

614
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: Actually spoke to another friend of mine racially about how

615
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: he was on a trip in I think it was

616
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: in Germany and he was at some like Bavarian beer

617
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 1: hall there and they're all these guys there and they're

618
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: all from the same fire department. He's like, he's like wow.

619
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 1: He's like, you guys are all here. They're like, yeah,

620
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: we've got like you know, comp time or something. And therefore,

621
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: I think the fire department and outside just around San

622
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 1: Francisco great gig for them. Apparently I've gone way off

623
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 1: the rails here. I am gonna come back and talk

624
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: to you about how the dominant, the leftist domination of

625
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: media is going to come back and come back fiercer

626
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: than ever before unless we do something about it. You

627
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: have the Obama dynasty that I mentioned before is going

628
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: to be built differently than they were building, the Hillary

629
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: Clinton one or the Clinton one, I should say, Uh,

630
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: the Obama dynast is going to be digital, and it's

631
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna be not through a pseudo charity, but through media,

632
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: through entertainment. I mentioned yesterday that pundits run the country,

633
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: and it is true. Obama knows that, and all of

634
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: his backers, all of his people know that Obama is

635
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: actually going to be the main force going forward. I

636
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: think in the Democrat Party you're going to see that

637
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: happening more in the next year. But some of his

638
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: top people are also getting involved in this. I'll explain

639
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: what I mean and where this is all going, but

640
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: you have to stay with me through the break because

641
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: I can't share it all right now, I got so

642
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: much more to say. Our two coming up. He's holding

643
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: the line for America. Buck sex in his back. How

644
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: is the Left trying to control of the conversation, control

645
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: the platforms, the outlets. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody.

646
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: I like Netflix a lot, not as much of a

647
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: Hulu guy. I like Netflix. MS Molly likes Hulu. You know,

648
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: to each his own. I've seen a lot of very

649
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,240
Speaker 1: good shows on Netflix. I do think House of Cards

650
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: is wildly overrated. And oh, by the way, we will

651
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: get into Roseanne which I watched in the third hour

652
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: to the show. I've got some additional thoughts on it.

653
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: I think a little bit. I know, Trump called Roseanne

654
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: to congratulate her on the huge ratings of the show.

655
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: I am. I have a bit of a contrarian view

656
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: of all of this, my friends, which I will share

657
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 1: with you in the third hour. I gotta I gotta

658
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: keep you, I gotta keep it spicy, you know. But

659
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't an Emerald Bam with the spice, right, that

660
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: was the And now there's also a spice meme guy

661
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: who does the thing with his hand and the right

662
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: the throws the salt salt meat, Salt Salt Bay, Thank you,

663
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: Salt Bay. Salt Bay is kind of the new uh,

664
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: kind of the new Emerald Bam, right, I mean it's

665
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: sort of maybe anyway. Whatever. So Netflix, though, is great,

666
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: but guess what, It's run by a bunch of liberals.

667
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: Guess what else? Facebook run by a bunch of liberals.

668
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: Google run by a bunch of liberals, and I mean

669
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: run run and owned by I should say Amazon, and

670
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: The Washington Post run by a bunch of liberals. Trump

671
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: called out Amazon earlier today and actually caused the stock

672
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of a little bit of

673
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: a hit. So there's that. But you'll notice when I'm

674
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: talking to you about digital media platforms, which are not

675
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 1: just changing our day to day to lives, but really

676
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: the engines of the engines of the economy right now.

677
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's a huge amount of growth that

678
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: just comes from the stocks that are in these areas. Um,

679
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: it's all liberals that own them and run them and

680
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: operate them. This is significant, my friends. Right people say, oh, buck,

681
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: we'ren media. We've got Fox News now on the internet,

682
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: and yeah, but cable is changing and everything is going

683
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: to go digital and outlot card at some point in

684
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: the future. I don't know when. Everyone people have been

685
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: saying this for years. Content will still be important and

686
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: monetizeable and valuable, right the actual shows that go on TV.

687
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: But that's changing. How we get the content is changing,

688
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: and everything is gonna be integrated, as we know, in

689
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: your computer and your TV and all this all gonna

690
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: be treated pretty much the same way. Who controls the

691
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: access points Liberals, leftists, progressives. They control Netflix, Hulu, Comcast, Google, YouTube, Facebook,

692
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: go down the list, Instagram. I know some of these

693
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: own other ones, but what do we have on our side?

694
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: And I would be okay even with with a truly

695
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: neutral social media BMF. I'd be okay with a truly

696
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: neutral digital media. But it doesn't exist, and somehow they've

697
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: all skewed left again. This We've been kind of asleep

698
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: at the wheel on this one. I'm just gonna be

699
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: honest with you, folks. I've been telling you for a while,

700
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: this is happening. There's no way that you have Mark

701
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg in some ways the most powerful CEO on the planet,

702
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: who is clearly a man of the left, and that

703
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: doesn't affect what goes on at Facebook. It's just not

704
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: just not reality. Now you're starting to see what the

705
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: next what the next version? The two point? Oh sorry,

706
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: all this is going to be. Obama is getting shows

707
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: via Netflix. They're not sure if he's going to be

708
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: on one, maybe you know, do sort of a political

709
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: talk show. Obama then becomes somebody who's in a position

710
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: to direct the national conversation in a similar way to

711
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: Ellen and Oprah and Seacrest. I mean, these people who

712
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: have enormous followings on TV. But Obama was a politician,

713
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: right and now he might might have that role. He

714
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: also will be beyond this scenes producer on these things,

715
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: executive producer role and credit or maybe just credit. Who

716
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: knows Susan Rice one of his top advisors. You remember

717
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 1: Susan Rice, right, I mean, she does have some experience

718
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 1: in the in the video space. Based on the best

719
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: information we have to date, what our assessment is as

720
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: of the present is, in fact, what it began spontaneously

721
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: in Benghazi as a reaction to what it transpired some

722
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course, as you know, uh,

723
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked

724
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: by this hateful video. So she's got some video experience

725
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: talking about the video that did not in fact cause

726
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: Benghazi and that was a terrorist attack. But so there's that.

727
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: But she's gonna be on the board at Netflix. Give

728
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,760
Speaker 1: me on the board voting on strategic decisions that affect

729
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,959
Speaker 1: Netflix's future. I can assure you there are other top

730
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: Obama people that are already on boards that you're not

731
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: even thinking of right now, that are determining policy at

732
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 1: places like Facebook, Netflix and others, determining what gets made.

733
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's another thing out there that no one

734
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: really spends much time and attention, and I've talked to

735
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: some I actually talked to a tech blogger about it

736
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: on her podcast maybe six months ago. People think that

737
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: social media is like this even playing field. You know, however,

738
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: many followers you have on Facebook or Twitter or whatever,

739
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: it's just based on whatever people buy them. That's something

740
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: that never really gets talked to you. You can buy followers,

741
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: real and fake. And Facebook has been encouraging the buying

742
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: of followers in a sense by demanding that more and

743
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: more people pay for h their posts to be seen

744
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: by people, because really what you want is people to

745
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: see your stuff and then follow you. But also, we

746
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to these algorithms. It's not even

747
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: just it's it's iTunes as well, it's Apple. Do we

748
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: do we know how they're how do they pick the

749
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: top podcast to show you to see who else gets

750
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: who else is going to get following followers on a podcast.

751
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: It's an algorithm. It's not just based on sheer download numbers.

752
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I can tell you this show, which is

753
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: a radio show but we also have a podcast of it,

754
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: does orders of magnitude more downloads a month than some

755
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: of the shows that will appear on the top one

756
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: of iTunes. But they say, well, but it's real, it's

757
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: it's a rebroadcast. It's different, and you know it's it's

758
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: about the downloads versus the number of shows, and they've

759
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: got some. It's not just like the most wins. You know,

760
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: you don't even see this with the you know, the

761
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: New York Times and playing this game with their best

762
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: seller list of books for a long time. They got

763
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: a formula. It's not just who sells the most books.

764
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: There's a formula. There's an algorithm. That's just a fancy

765
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: way of saying that there are ways to cheat and

766
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: to steer the conversation, and there are ways for the

767
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: left to win. This is the most important we we

768
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: know we kind of won the battle against the old

769
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: media bias establishment and that at least now it's you know,

770
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 1: any one from CNN, for example, who's like our journalists

771
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: down the middle. I mean, it's laughable, right, it's preposterous,

772
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: it's silly, it's foolish. But we're gonna have to fight

773
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: that battle again now with Facebook and Twitter and all

774
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: these other entities, because I am telling you they are

775
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: even more left skewing than we can realize right now.

776
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: A lot of it is happening on the back end.

777
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: We don't have the data. The people that make the

778
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: decisions are leftists. They are leftists and they are evangelists

779
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: as well. Silicon Valley is hyper progressive, not a little

780
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 1: bit progressive, hyper progressive. You know, who do you think

781
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: is calling the shots at the at the state level

782
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: in California for some of these crazy policies. Who puts

783
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: it in the ear of some of these politicians to

784
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: do these They have these ruinous, ruinous regulations for the

785
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: environment for whatever Silicon Valley. So keep an eye on this.

786
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: Obamas who's in rise, There'll be others as well. Oh,

787

Speaker 1: Chelsea Clinton in. They gotta they gotta let the Clinton

788
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: stench kind of waffed away a little bit after the loss.

789
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: But Chelsea Clinton is gonna be put on the boards

790
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: and some of these major things, so they're gonna build

814
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: not from Congress, but from these internal political appointees that

815
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 1: we're trying to politicize VA and trying to make sure

816
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: that our progress stopped, and it's been a very difficult environment.

817
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: It's been um one where we've been distracted from our mission.

818
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: I was not against reformed pensation, and I think that

819
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: it was really the political pointees that we're trying to

820
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 1: undermine our efforts at v A. There you have the

821
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: recently ousted as in yesterday, we got to announce it

822
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: on air. That's one of our specialties here. We get

823
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: to tell you first about the folks who have been

824
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: booted from the administration, because they usually do it late

825
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: in the day, right, you don't get fired at nine am.

826
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: You get fired, you know, five pm. And then we

827
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: come all right afterwards to be like, hey, guess who

828
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: got fired today? Sholkin? That's who? Or that was yesterday.

829
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: So he's out. But people are starting to ask questions

830
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: about why and what and who and how and all

831
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: that stuff. A few things here. First of all, I

832
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: believe unless I'm mistaken, and we know usually when I

833
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: say that, I am not um but I believe Sholkin

834
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: at one point was at a pointee of the Obama administration.

835
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I think that that's the case. Well,

836
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: this does raise, though, uh is that it seems to Oh, yeah,

837
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: the only holdover from the That's what I thought, the

838
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 1: only holdover from the Obama administration. See, what you're seeing

839
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: is that the deep state is a real thing, and

840
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: the deep state is not just about the FBI, the

841
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: bureaucracy for reasons that I can explain to you because

842
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: I was there. Unlike a lot of the other folks

843
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: you'll listen to on radio or even see on TV,

844
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 1: I was not at the appointee level. It wasn't all fancy.

845
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: I didn't have a private car driving me around with

846
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,479
Speaker 1: a bunch of staff and everything else. That sounds nice,

847
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: But if you're just gonna be one of those little

848
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: cubical farmers like I was, you get a sense of

849
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: what the politics of the rank and file and the

850
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy is. And then when you see at the

851
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 1: top people that have been bureaucrats for a long period

852
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: of time, you are not surprised in the least that

853
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 1: they are leftists. They are statists. They believe very much

854
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: in the government. People asking Buck, why did you leave

855
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: the CIA. I think CIA has a great mission. I

856
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: think there are some incredible people who work there, But honestly,

857
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: it's a large federal bureaucracy, and that's just not my jam.

858
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: That's just not what I want to be doing with

859
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,240
Speaker 1: all my time. I did it for a while, I served,

860
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: I got out. You know, is it? Some people love

861
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: the structure, others hate the bureaucracy, meaning all the extraneous, foolish,

862
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: silly stuff you deal with. But when you look at

863
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: who is more likely to think that that kind of

864
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 1: bureaucracy is a good thing or that that they'll take

865
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: to it, of course it's democrats. The people who think

866
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:25,760
Speaker 1: the government should fix all problems are going to often

867
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: be the people who really really want to spend their

868
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: whole lives working in the government. Becauesn't you know? It

869
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: makes perfect sense. But at the very senior level as well.

870
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: You see this with some of the Obama holdovers, right,

871
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: You see this with people who were appointed. Comey was

872
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: an Obama holdover, Shulkin was an Obama holdover. And the

873
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: moment that they're out of office, the mask drops and

874
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: we see that they are, in fact, uh left of center.

875
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: They're gonna talk smack about the current president, about the

876
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: current administration ation, and it's just it's not it's not

877
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: a surprise to me at all. We see this time again.

878
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 1: By the way, Comey who as you know, I've really

879
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: I've got to be in my bonnet about Comey because

880
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 1: I hate power mad prosecutors. I mean, there's nothing worse

881
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: in the government than a prosecutor who is unethical. It's

882
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: the single most uh frightening thing for your everyday citizen

883
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 1: in terms of dealing with your government. Quite honestly, as

884
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: a power mad prosecutor. Nobody else can ruin your life

885
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: as fast as a prosecutor who decides that it's in

886
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: his interest to do so. And Comey is such an opportunist.

887
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, now he's out on this book tour. You know,

888
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: remember when he was the guy that was that was

889
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: the reason that Hillary lost. Oh that's right. Now he's

890
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: the guy who's on a book tour and getting all

891
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 1: this love, including a huge advance from the left because

892
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the one who they think is part

893
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: of bringing Trump down. So you have a guy who

894
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: was blamed for Hillary's loss at one point now selling

895
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: books and going on a book tour where he's going

896
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: to be beloved and feted by that's fetted in the

897
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,320
Speaker 1: French way, not f E T I D from a

898
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: wordsmith's out there word play. But he's going to be

899
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: celebrated by Democrats because they think that he still has

900
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: a shot to bring down the Trump administration. It's kind

901
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: of crazy when you think about it, but that's comy.

902
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: Back to Schulkin, he's saying that there were Oh and

903
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: he's a hero temporarily. Oh what a surprise political here

904
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: writing no longer muzzled, Schulkin takes on Trump's White House.

905
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: The fired Veterans Affairs secretary claims he was politically knifed.

906
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: It should not be this hard to serve your country. Uh,

907
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: you know the notion that the v A, that that

908
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: privatizing parts of the v A is somehow going to

909
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 1: ruin it. You look at all the other places where

910
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 1: you have privatization, and you have greater efficient see, better services,

911
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: better technology just because of the way that systems and

912
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 1: and the way that life works. But there's a big

913
00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: political backdrop to all the stuff with the VA, and

914
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: that is if the v A got privatized, something that's

915
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: very important to Wallace, how are our veterans being taken

916
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: care of? Is the sacred obligation we have to our

917
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: veterans by the citizenry being met. If in fact, we

918
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: saw that privatization made it more, made that promise, uh fulfilled.

919
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: Think about what that would mean for the general healthcare debate.

920
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: Think about the talking point. And I don't mean that

921
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: in a in a bad way, but the data point

922
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: there you go. It's all about the words. The data point.

923
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: It would give two Republicans and conservatives for why don't

924
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: we do more of this privatization stuff? How is privatization

925
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: a dirty word? Show me the country that over privatized

926
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 1: itself and has gone down the tubes. I mean, I'm

927
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: not familiar with I know a lot of places that

928
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: let the government run things, and it is you know

929
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: Dante's eighth Circle of Hell, Venezuela for example, Zimbabwe. I mean,

930
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: we can go down the list of countries that are

931
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 1: barely even countries anymore after the mismanagement that has occurred that,

932
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: by the way, countries that should not be poor. Right,

933
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: It's one thing to say Yemen is really poor and

934
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: as in as a country that's in crappy shape. Is

935
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: it's running out of water in the middle of the

936
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: civil war and it's a desperate situation. Uh. But you know,

937
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: Yemen doesn't have a whole lot in the way of

938
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: natural resources at all. Venezuela Zimbabwe actually do have a

939
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: lot of natural resources, but they're very, very poorly run.

940
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: But privatization doesn't ruin countries. Government can ruin countries, and

941
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: the v A becomes this political football because oh, if

942
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: we privatized it and at worked even a little bit,

943
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we privatize it in state ages and phases,

944
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: which is the only way you be able to do it,

945
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: then it would have implications for all the rest of

946
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 1: the discussions. And this is how everything is political because

947
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: once you start to look at things as a left

948
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: versus right paradigm all the time, it's scary because you

949
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: realize the left can justify anything under the auspices of, well,

950
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: we don't want to give the other side a win.

951
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: And that's how you get the Nancy Pelosi syndrome of like, well,

952
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,800
Speaker 1: you know, do we really even think that we should

953
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: like the tax cut? It's just crumbs. She just want

954
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:30,759
Speaker 1: to give the other side of win. By the way,

955
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: real quick, this was on out Numbered, one of my

956
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: favorite shows. As you know, look, I mean the question

957
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: is if I praised the way that Donald Trump looks

958
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: in the way is healthy? Do I get to run

959
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: a massive department? I mean we're talking about well, that's well,

960
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: that's very true. Thank goodness, Thank goodness. I think that

961
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: was Kennedy and Harris there doctors Zach pet Cannis being like, yeah, man,

962
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: you are neither a rear admiral nor nor a physician,

963
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 1: so it would be particularly weird if they made you

964
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: the v A secretary. I thought, that's kind of a

965
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: funny moment from earlier today. We got him, Um, that

966
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: guy seems to be a pretty good sport actually about

967
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: going going into a territory that's not always friendly to

968
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: his political beliefs. So we're gonna talk to you in

969
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes here about the left boycotting

970
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: and its seeming to work. And uh, I got a

971
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: whole lot more. Oh and Hillary speeches. Where are those fees?

972
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: Who wants to take a guess our Hillary speech fees

973
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: going up? We're going down? Are they going down a

974
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: little bit or are they going down a lot? We

975
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: will discuss all of that a much more eight four

976

Speaker 1: you may stop and think to your off, well, hold

981
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,799
Speaker 1: on a second, is the media really as biased as

982
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: we as we think they are, as as we talk

983
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 1: about in the Freedom ond? Is it really that bad

984
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: some of your laughing, you're like buckets worse, which may

985
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: in fact be true. But if you're looking for a

986
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: great anecdote, you know, a a story that will tell

987
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: the tale, which I guess is another way of saying

988
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: a story that will tell the story. Come on, Buck, vocab,

989
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: I got I gotta get back to basics here. One

990
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 1: of you pointed out and thank you for it that

991
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: I said o leaguanist on the air, because I read

992
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: much more than I hear many of these words. So

993
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm actually a bit of an autodidact. I'm not

994
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,319
Speaker 1: even sure I'm pronouncing that one correctly, but I read

995
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 1: that one somewhere too. A lot of what I talked

996
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: about on the air is self taught, but it is

997
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: holy aginous for those who are wondering a great word.

998
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: By the way, it means kind of you know, Oily

999
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: using similar ish to uh, which is not a word,

1000
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 1: to unctious, which is another great word. You know, the

1001
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: guy who shows up at your at your family dinner

1002
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: that's not really relative, and all of a sudden he's like,

1003
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 1: I got a great investment for you. You You know, he's like, hey,

1004
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 1: why don't you give me some of your cash? And

1005
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 1: you can say that guy's unctious. You know you're your

1006
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 1: uncle Bob who wants to get you into that used car. Hey,

Speaker 1: I you know this one, This one speaks to you.

00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: The vet gets it done. You guys are remember true lives.

1009
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: That guy's that guy is anxious. May he rest in peace.

1010
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: I just realized Bill Packiston passed away. He was young too.

1011
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: He was a great actor. I love Bill Paxson's work.

1012
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: I do, I'm not kidding, celebrate his whole catalog. But

1013
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 1: away from words for a second here, So we have

1014
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 1: only agenius anxious, what are something the other? But I've

1015
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: said maelstrom a few times in the show recently, which

1016
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: you all have pointed out. We gotta do a favorite

1017
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 1: buck words. Um. I tried to. You know, I try

1018
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: to stay away from profound as well, because if what

1019
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 1: you say is profound, you shouldn't have to say it.

1020
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,919
Speaker 1: You know. It's like real gangsters don't talk much because

1021
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: they don't have to. It's like, if you're what you're

1022
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: saying is profound, then you're good to go. And you know, anyway, Hillary,

1023
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 1: let's talk about Hillary and how this and how the

1024
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: media ties into all this. So I was over. It

1025
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 1: was great for background to be at CNN in the

1026
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: year of an election, especially an election where so many

1027
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: people there meeting the different journalists and producers were reminiscing

1028
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: fondly about the Clinton years and the Clinton white House

1029
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: and they had great access and they loved it, and

1030
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: and they were tied and tight with the Obama white

1031
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 1: House as well, and they were so happy about the

1032
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: prospect of eight years of Hillary. It was it was

1033
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: a near you for Elphoria. That's how Hillary says it.

1034
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: It was going to be a kind of nirvana for them.

1035
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: And so there were no there was no compunction whatsoever.

1036
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: They had no problem doing whatever they had to do

1037
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: to tell the stories the way that they would benefit Hillary. Right,

1038
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: whatever would benefit Hillary, that was what they were going

1039
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: to try to do. And one of the things that

1040
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: I kept bringing up, especially and I would bring up

1041
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, I'd be like, I mean, Bernie's the real deal.

1042
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: Bernie's the the legit, the legit character. You know, he's

1043
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: the one who wants to actually just just socialize it, baby,

1044
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: socialize it. And I would say, you know, Hillary and

1045
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: Bill are worth over a hundred million dollars. They have

1046
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: created no product and do not run a four A

1047
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: for profit company. They run a charity and they give

1048
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: speeches on the side. But they also are political figures,

1049
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: as we know, the greatest political dynasty in the country

1050
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: until her last loss. I think you'd have to say,

1051
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: certainly ahead of the Kennedy's in the Democrat line of

1052
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: succession and Obama, well, the Obamas will see they may

1053
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: they may become the great political dynasty of the Democrat

1054
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: Party of the next you know, twenty years. But in

1055
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: the meantime it was all about the Clintons. And yet

1056
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: the Clintons made all this money. And I would have

1057
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: journalists that would seem like smart people look at me

1058
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,919
Speaker 1: like that's that's not strange. I'd say, you know, I'm

1059
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the speaking circuit, and I know what

1060
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: famous people get paid to speak. You know, for me,

1061
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: you know if you if you said, if you invite

1062
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: me to a nice enough place and you seem like

1063
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: nice people, and you'll make me a plate of homemade, warm,

1064
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: gluten free chocolate chip cookies, there's like a decent shot

1065
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: that I will show up, you know. But some of

1066
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: my more famous friends, you know, they'll show up. They'll

1067
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: give a speech for thirty fifty maybe a hundred thousand

1068
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: dollars if you're really if you're really pretty famous. Bill

1069
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Clinton was getting speeches for six seven, eight hundred grand.

1070
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: That just doesn't happen, Just doesn't happen. Hillary Clinton, Hello,

1071
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 1: she was getting speech fees of two hundred and fifty

1072
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars. Just doesn't really doesn't really happen

1073
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: unless you're not paying for the speech, you are buying influence.

1074
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: And this I was Those of you who are OSS

1075
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: have been with me for a few years now. Now

1076
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: I've been hitting this one hard because this was a

1077
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: real litmus test, and given the current meeting, I I mean,

1078
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: we're all the oh, all of you Christians are explaining

1079
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: away all of Trump's behavior. You know, there's a lot

1080
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: of media looking down their nose at the rest of us.

1081
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: You know from the from the heights of Mount Olympus,

1082
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: staring down at US mortals and acting like they they

1083
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: have some right to dare I say, right to judge?

1084
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: And when you look at what they did for what

1085
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: they did on this specific issue of Hillary's wealth creation,

1086
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: and how obvious it was that this was a scheme

1087
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: for peddling influence, how obvious the speech fees were. Well,

1088
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: this is gonna tie into a current of current news.

1089
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I'm not just Hillary bashing for the fun

1090
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 1: of it, although that's fun too, um and and I

1091
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: would say to them, you really believe, and they well,

1092
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: that's what the market will bear. And I think I

1093
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: might have even said on air at scene end to someone,

1094
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: I definitely said it all fair. I probably should have

1095
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: said it on air. Well, if you know, I'm a

1096
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: politician and someone wants to give me a paper bag

1097
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: for with a million dollars in it, that's what the

1098
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: market will bear if I'm gonna pass favorable legislation for

1099
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: their business. But it's also called bribery and you go

1100
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: to prison for a long time for it. But for Hillary,

1101
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: oh no, I'm just giving her a lot of money

1102
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 1: because I need to hear her speak so badly. It's

1103
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 1: a busy Actually just almost passed out doing Hillary there. Ah,

1104
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: it's a man, gosh, a kid. I would have ruin

1105
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: my voice. I have to go to I have to

1106
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: go to Indiana this weekend to find people of Indiana

1107
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: deserve my voice as is. I'm not going to destroy

1108
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 1: it right now anyway. So Hillary gave these speeches, and

1109
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: I would always say to them, you know, guys, can

1110
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: can we come back here? And they didn't like my

1111
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: thing about the brown paper bag of money under the desk,

1112
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: but we all know that that's the same idea. I'd say,

1113
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: can we come back and and revisit this issue. This

1114
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: is when I was thinking I might still hang out

1115
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: at the n some more, but I got sick of

1116
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 1: the whole situation over there. If we come back and

1117
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: look at what her speaking fees are once she's no

1118
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: longer going to be president. Who wants to guess what

1119
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Hillary is getting paid for at Rutger's where she's giving

1120
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: a speech? Uh today today she just gave a speech today,

1121
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars. Does twenty five thousand dollars sound

1122
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: like two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to you, does

1123
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars sound like eight hundred thousand dollars

1124
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: because those are the kind of speaking fees that Hillary

1125
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: and Billy used to get in the past. I mean,

1126
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand dollars you can get like a nice

1127
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 1: sweet and a whole bunch of ladies in Vegas. You know,

1128
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean just voters, registered voters. What do you think

1129
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Don't be shady. Uh. That was what

1130
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 1: they used to get Clinton Foundation donations falling off a

1131
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: cliff and I would I said this during the election.

1132
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: I said, you know, if she loses, and they were

1133
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: also smugs, she's never gonna lose. Buck You're such You're

1134
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:49,720
Speaker 1: so ridiculous, you and your trumpster fire. Uh you know,

1135
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: I said, well, well, let's just assume if she loses.

1136
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna see if I'm right and you're wrong. And

1137
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: if you go back and listen to shows that I

1138
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: was doing during the campaign, it said, trust me, as

1139
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: soon as the as soon as the gravy train of

1140
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: government largesse stops, Hillary's fair market value as a speaker

1141
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a whole lot less, a whole

1142
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: lot less than it was beforehand, And doesn't that tell

1143
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: us something about what was really going on? Doesn't tell

1144
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 1: us something that the Clinton Foundation is getting a whole

1145
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: lot less foreign money all of a sudden. What they

1146
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: don't care about empowering women and and teaching school children

1147
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: and you know, stopping malaria or whatever stuff. Actually Clinton

1148
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Foundation was really about women's empowerment stuff. Um, I'm trying

1149
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: to climate change of course, and there was one other

1150
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: thing that comes, you know, something with school something with women,

1151
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: and something with climate change, very amorphous things that you

1152
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: really can't measure, you know. And the Clinton Foundation was

1153
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: largely at pass through for other charitable foundations, So the

1154
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: Clintons were effectively acting as middlemen taking their cut of

1155
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: money that was supposed to be going two you know,

1156
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: underprivileged children in Africa, in Bangladesh and wherever. Right, That's

1157
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: that was the real role of the Clinton Foundation. But

1158
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 1: I just want to know back to my initial premise here,

1159
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: now that we can see that Hillary is worth a

1160
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: whole lot less on the speaking circuit, is it because

1161
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: she's not Did she get bad at speaking all of

1162
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, or were people paying her a lot of

1163
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: money to buy her favor? Maybe have future influence in

1164
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: her administration. Does any serious person really want to take

1165
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: the other side of this argument? You know, I know

1166
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: that say, oh, Park, you know she's not the president. Yeah,

1167
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: but now we have now the evidence is in. You know,

1168
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: now we actually have the numbers. Clinton Foundation money dropped

1169
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: off a cliff. Hillary speaking fees dropped off a cliff.

1170
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: Why oh, that's right, Because it wasn't what the market

1171
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: would bear. It was corruption. It was buying politicians in

1172
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 1: the open, to the tune of over a hundred million dollars.

1173
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: That's what was going on. And our so called journalist

1174
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: class are our our media of top watchdogs of power.

1175
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: Not only it's not even that they didn't cover it

1176
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:11,200
Speaker 1: enough or whatever they excused it. They came up with

1177
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: ways of saying, you know, this is just not not

1178
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: that big a deal. It's nothing, It's fine. Everybody does it.

1179
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Hillary is amazing, She's gonna break the glass ceiling, all

1180
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: of that. Well, I like to just take a little

1181
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: visit into truth land, go into reality town, have a

1182
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 1: look around and talk to some of the folks. And

1183
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing right now. The numbers don't lie. Hillary,

1184
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: she was doing speeches at universities. I think it was

1185
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 1: like U N l V or something in the last year,

1186
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: two of two grand not just taking even though she's rich.

1187
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, she can't turn off. She is a grasping

1188
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: and deeply greedy human being, and they wanted to make

1189
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: her president because she would have been so much better.

1190
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: They say, yeah, right, all right, I'll be back with

1191
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: more in including why the left does what they do

1192
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to overreacting to statements and trying to

1193
01:07:06,960 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: get boycott's going. I'm gonna leave that a little bit.

1194
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave that out there for right now. So

1195
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: you're like, Buck, what's going on? What If you want

1196
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: to know what's going on, you have to listen through

1197
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: the break and then I will tell you. But trying

1198
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: to threatening boycotts, why do they do it? How do

1199
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: they do it? And what does it mean for all

1200
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: of us? I'll get into that a much more coming

1201
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: up here in just a few The threat of boycotts

1202
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: and an apology from a conservative commentator. It's a script

1203
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: that plays out time and again, and we just saw

1204
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: it happen now with Laura Ingram. I think Ingraham, actually

1205
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: I need to make sure I say the name properly

1206
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: over at Fox News and David Hagg who I would

1207
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: note is running around saying all kinds of really outrageous

1208
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 1: and unfair things, and he is in fact smearing people

1209
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, like Mark A. Rubio and my

1210
01:07:56,320 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: friend Dana Lash. But he is he has a an invincibility.

1211
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: You know, he's like Frodo with the special armor that

1212
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 1: can't be pierced from the elves. You know what I'm

1213
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,959
Speaker 1: talking about it right, myth Thrill. I think it's called

1214
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: I Love the Lord of the Rings? Am I right

1215
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 1: with that? Am I off on that? You guys are

1216
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:17,280
Speaker 1: really both giving me the no, you don't know anyway,

1217
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 1: So Frodo, you know, he gets stabbed by the big olger,

1218
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 1: He's got the magic thing on his chest. He doesn't die.

1219
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: It's good stuff for Frodo. Point here is that it

1220
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 1: makes him invincible to an extent. And Hog because he

1221
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: suffered a a trauma. Um is also what's it called

1222
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: John myth thrill shirt? Yeah, that's what I said. Looks amazing.

1223
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: So anyway, he he was giving an interview. I'll just

1224
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 1: go over this pretty quickly. It's not really that important

1225
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: giving an interview and he said, you know that he

1226
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: he didn't get into some of the schools he applied to. Now, which,

1227
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: trust me, my friend, we can all sympathize the way

1228
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: that he said. It's somewhat interpreted as he wasn't getting

1229
01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: in because of his activism maybe, And I think that

1230
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: struck some people as a a very strange way to

1231
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:09,719
Speaker 1: take it. What overwhelmingly, I mean, ask any admissions director

1232
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: in any top school in the country, left wing political

1233
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: activism is like, there's it's the Holy grill. I mean,

1234
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 1: that's probably the best thing you could possibly do. So

1235
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: it seems strange that he might have been complaining about it.

1236
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: And then uh, Laura Laura Ingraham tweeted out the following David. Now,

1237
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: she wasn't the first to write this either. It was

1238
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 1: posted I think on TMZ and she wrote, David Hogg

1239
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:37,759
Speaker 1: rejected by four colleges to which he applied and wines

1240
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: about it. Now, you know what, I go there, No,

1241
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: because I think that Hogg can say I'll say that

1242
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: he's saying dumb things, that he's being immature because he's

1243
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: a kid, so it's not surprising he's being irresponsible. Uh,

1244
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't strike me as knowledgeable at all in these issues.

1245
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: I actually he is quite ignorant, but he's made himself

1246
01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: a part of a national public conversation. But know I

1247
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 1: don't make fun of his appearance. I don't, And if

1248
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: I ever do, I you know I would apologize for

1249
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: it afterwards. If I ever got heated and said something

1250
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,120
Speaker 1: that you know I had crossed the line, I haven't.

1251
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,679
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, uh, but I operate within a certain coat.

1252
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: Is making a kind of a little bit of a

1253
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: snippy comment about him whining such a big deal. No,

1254
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't strike me such a big deal. I wouldn't

1255
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: do it. But then again, if people ask me, well,

1256
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 1: what do you think about what Trump said here? A

1257
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: lot of the time, I'm like, I mean, I'm not

1258
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 1: saying it's terrible, but it's not all. I would roll

1259
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: a little lower ingram. I have a really tough top

1260
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 1: time or last time, And I always want to tell

1261
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: the story about the U. S. S Ingram, one of

1262
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 1: the great stories told by Ronald Reagan a long time

1263
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: ago in a speech. Well, I'll have to save that

1264
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: one for another time. Cliffhanger for everybody, I'll save that

1265
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 1: for another time. I've told it before on the show.

1266
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: If some of you write me and said we want

1267
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: to know about the U S. S Ingram and the Mediterranean,

1268
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:56,280
Speaker 1: I will tell you this story, but you have to

1269
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: write me on Facebook and request it. It would be

1270
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 1: like a request of the DJ. That means, I guess

1271
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: I'm the DJ. So Laura wrote Winds that that David

1272
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: Hogg was whining about it, and the response to this,

1273
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: this is from CNBC. Advertisers including trip Advisor, Nestley and

1274
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 1: Wayfair are dumping Laura Ingraham after she slammed Parkland survivor.

1275
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you had big advertisers that were jumping ship

1276
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: based on that. And this is why the left is

1277
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 1: so fond of using victims to advance political arguments, because

1278
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: the moment somebody doesn't even necessarily go over the line

1279
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: and responding them just just gets close enough for the line,

1280
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 1: they go into boycott mode. And that was exactly what

1281
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: hog did. By the way, he specifically uh tweeted out,

1282
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, if you pick a number one to twelve,

1283
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: contact the company next to that number, And they were

1284
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: all of Laura Ingraham's top advertigers. By the way, do

1285
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 1: you think somebody helped helped him find those I'm guessing

1286
01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: he had a little help and when after all of

1287
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: her top advertisers because she said that he was whining

1288
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: about college h college rejections. So I guess what we

1289
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: take from this is that David Hogg, now if you

1290
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: if you criticize him in a way that's not purely political,

1291
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: you can have your livelihood attacked and tarnished. Now, to

1292
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: Laura's credit, she she did apologize, and I think she

1293
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: wrote out the following, any students should be proud of

1294
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 1: a four point to g p A, including David Hogg

1295
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 1: on reflection in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize

1296
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: for an upset or hurt my tweet cause him or

1297
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 1: any of the brave victims of Parkland. And you know,

1298
01:12:33,720 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: there you have it. So she apologized. But this is,

1299
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 1: by the way, this is the response when she didn't

1300
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: even say anything bad. Can you imagine the first person

1301
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 1: who really steps out of line, they're gonna go after

1302
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: him with everything that they've got. And that's why they

1303
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: like to use victims. It's a form of seeding the

1304
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: debate with with land mines for conservatives, and that's what

1305
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: ends up happening. So the left loves to boycott don't

1306
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 1: ever forget it. That's why your supportive sponsors on this

1307
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 1: show and others. Uh so absolutely essential. We're gonna roll

1308
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 1: to a break, we come back. Oh, I've got more

1309
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,400
Speaker 1: on Roseanne. I watched it, folks, I watched it. We'll

1310
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,240
Speaker 1: talk about it. We'll strap in and prepare for some

1311
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 1: grumpy pop culture analysis from yours. Truly. Occasionally, in this job,

1312
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,799
Speaker 1: it's part of my job to watch what the folks

1313
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: are watching in the world of pop culture, not news.

1314
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: I watched news all the time. Occasionally, though, I have

1315
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: a real excuse to flip on one of the network channels,

1316
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: and the reboot of Roseanne, which I mentioned to you yesterday,

1317
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:42,960
Speaker 1: is one of those opportunities. So I watched the first

1318
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: two episodes of this reboot, and I have to tell

1319
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: you there's a lot more going on then you'd gather

1320
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 1: just from the press releases. I have to tell you

1321
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was very funny, but that doesn't matter.

1322
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 1: We can agree or disagree on that. That's completely a

1323
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:06,759
Speaker 1: function of taste. And I would also stand behind everything

1324
01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 1: I said yesterday about how if it were really the

1325
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,799
Speaker 1: profit motive that was driving much of the decision making

1326
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: about scripted TV shows what Hollywood and the entertainment industry

1327
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: chooses to make. There's this enormous market called half of

1328
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:32,719
Speaker 1: America that is underserved in terms of content, and sure enough,

1329
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 1: Roseanne comes out. It depicts a working class family and

1330
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: there's a Trump supporter at the center of it, all

1331
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: Roseanne herself, and we are to believe, Oh wow, they

1332
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: have broken with their usual tendency here and we got

1333
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 1: a show where there's a Trump person at the center

1334
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: of it, and there's gonna be attention now paid to

1335
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: that part of rough a half the country. I watched

1336
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:09,320
Speaker 1: the episodes though, and I gotta tell you it's basically

1337
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: liberals creating a narrative where Rosanne, you know, the the

1338
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 1: red State family, or whatever you want to call it,

1339
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:21,040
Speaker 1: the working class white family. There you go, that's a

1340
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: better way to say it. The white working class family

1341
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 1: is constantly, uh, having to challenge and change its assumptions

1342
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: about day to day life because of, oh, you guessed it,

1343
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: the various progressive social issues that are at the center

1344
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:45,719
Speaker 1: of the show. Yeah, there's some arguing back and forth

1345
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: between an ardent Hillary supporter wearing the Nasty Woman T

1346
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 1: shirt and hat that begins with a p I I

1347
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: saw all that, But the central theme of the first

1348
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 1: two episodes, or the central challenge, is how the how

1349
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: Roseanne's household is going to deal with the fact that

1350
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: they've got a nine year old who's a boy who's

1351
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 1: dressing like a girl, and that's how And it's all

1352
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:18,719
Speaker 1: built around that. And there's some other progressive things thrown

1353
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: in there too. You've got a woman who's in her

1354
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 1: forties who's going to be a surrogate, and you know,

1355
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 1: the the old character played by John Goodman, you know,

1356
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: the patriarch of the family. He's all opposed to it.

1357
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: But I just look at all this and think to myself,

1358
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: are we really supposed to believe that this is this

1359
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:39,679
Speaker 1: is the day to day of working class white family

1360
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 1: in Ohio, and this is the day to day of

1361
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: a working class white family in Wisconsin. No, of course not.

1362
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 1: It's it seems quite strange to me to build one

1363
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 1: of the central challenges of this family, at least in

1364
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: the first I know, it's only the first couple of episodes.

1365
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I get that, but to launch right out of the

1366
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: gate with, well, what do we do about our cross

1367
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: dressing nine year old and wouldn't it be nice if

1368
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,920
Speaker 1: there could be a family that had let's just say,

1369
01:17:13,960 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 1: one Republican parent in it, and the representation of them

1370
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: was quite a bit different from this. I know people

1371
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: are nostalgic for Roseanne and the show and how it

1372
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: dealt with American society in a kind of unvarnished way

1373
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,680
Speaker 1: at the time. I'll also say that this show looks anachronistic.

1374
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:36,799
Speaker 1: The home that they're in. That's not what working class

1375
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: homes really look like today. It's what they look like

1376
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. So I think that's a bit strange.

1377
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 1: I mean, in terms of the interior and everything. It

1378
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: looks like they just literally turned on a show that

1379
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 1: they had had a set from twenty years ago and

1380
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 1: it didn't change anything, which is strange to me. Now,

1381
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: all they're doing, from what I can see, is adding

1382
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: into it these of challenges. But is this really what

1383
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 1: what concerns Middle America? To bring back a term you

1384
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: don't hear very much anymore. What do I do if

1385
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: my nine year old son starts dressing like a girl

1386
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: because he wants to be fashionable in school. I'm not

1387
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: a parent yet, but I would tell my nine year

1388
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: old son that that was not what he was going

1389
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:23,840
Speaker 1: to do. That I'm a parent and that I know best,

1390
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 1: and this is not going to be some childhood assault

1391
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: on the patriarchy. Even more than that, though, I would

1392
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: just like to see a depiction of someone who's clearly

1393
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,679
Speaker 1: conservative on TV and not have it centered around how

1394
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:47,919
Speaker 1: they become more accepting of progressive social issues, of social

1395
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: justice issues, and that's the character's growth I can already

1396
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: see on this show. One of the ways this is

1397
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: all going to be structured is well, you know Roseanne,

1398
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, she's she's come over to the side of

1399
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: of greater tolerance. You know the dad, he's he's going

1400
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: to embrace diversity more and all this. I just sit

1401
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: there watching this and thinking to myself, where's the show

1402
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: on TV where a conservative family is elevated. Where's the

1403
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 1: show on TV where you see a white working class

1404
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 1: family that goes to church and people. Yeah, they can

1405
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: still be funny, it could be a comedy. But they're

1406
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: attractive as people. I don't mean just physically, but they're

1407
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: attractive people. You know, they've got their lives together. We

1408
01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: all have our challenges, and there's plenty of humor and

1409
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: day to day life. But I can't think of that show.

1410
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: The only thing that comes close would be Friday Night

1411
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: Lights for me, which is a show that I really loved.

1412
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: But Friday Night Lights is really a show about two

1413
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: East Coast liberals living in West Texas, too incredibly appealing

1414
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: good looking parents who really were pulled out of like Darien,

1415
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 1: Connecticut and plopped in West Texas and have a little

1416
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: bit of a Southern accent so they can fit in more.

1417
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:13,599
Speaker 1: And that's the way that that show is constructed. Everyone

1418
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: around them seems much more authentic than the parents, who

1419
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: are the centerpiece of the whole show up here. But

1420
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:24,639
Speaker 1: in Roseanne, I think that we are being look I

1421
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't mean to over politicize this, but it's clearly

1422
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: a show that's gotten a lot of attention, eighteen million viewers,

1423
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: it's already a topic of major political discussion. I think

1424
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: we're being propagandized to just in a slick way, and

1425
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:44,600
Speaker 1: it's to show the aging conservative boomer generation in particular.

1426
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: You know, you'll understand more about this transgender stuff in time.

1427
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:53,840
Speaker 1: Just just accept it. Remember, acceptance comes first, well, rather first,

1428
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: it's tolerance than acceptance, then celebration and then totalitarianism. So

1429
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: sometimes that last step takes a while, but I am

1430
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 1: a little distressed. This is the This is the best

1431
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: we can do for a show about a family that

1432
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: has Trump supporting parents. I believe the dad voted for Trump.

1433
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm surmising that, but clearly Roseanne explicitly says she did.

1434
01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: This is the best we can do the family. I

1435
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: know the family is supposed to be dysfunctional, it's supposed

1436
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: to have the problems of day to day life. Fine,

1437
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: but why isn't the focus on that instead of right

1438
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 1: off the bat Automatically the challenge is plucked from the

1439
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: top of the list of progressive social agenda items, which

1440
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 1: is transgender kids. We've got a show now on TV

1441
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 1: with eighteen million people watching it that's supposed to represent

1442
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: just normal Middle America in some way, and they're dealing

1443
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: with a transgender nine year old or across a kid who's,

1444
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, changing his clothes to look like a woman,

1445
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:01,920
Speaker 1: and though he says he knows he's a boy. Whatever.

1446
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 1: The point is gender identity issues as a nine year old,

1447
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 1: which is, let's understand, actually quite rare, and the way

1448
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 1: that it is constructed in the show, they're not going

1449
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 1: to make this kid start dressing the way that he

1450
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 1: should for his gender. The parents are gonna have to

1451
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,160
Speaker 1: become more tolerant of it. So what you're gonna see

1452
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: is the right in this context loses right, the the Trump,

1453
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: the grumpy Trump conservative who sure, we'll have some funny

1454
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 1: one liners here and there and occasionally will speak in

1455
01:22:36,960 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: a salty salty tones about day to day life and

1456
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,560
Speaker 1: shed some some truth on a situation. But it is

1457
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: going to become more accepting and more progressive over the

1458
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 1: course of the show. I can just tell, why does

1459
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 1: it always have to be this way, folks? Why why

1460
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: do we I think at this point we just are

1461
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: numbed how much propaganda that there really is in this.

1462
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 1: Don't think for a second it's not political. Control of

1463
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:08,639
Speaker 1: the culture is the most important thing that any political

1464
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: group could ever achieve, because if you can convince people

1465
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: about what is reality in their day to day lives,

1466
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: getting the devote for your candidate, that's easy. So I'm

1467
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,639
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the Rosanne reboot. I think

1468
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: you've gotten that from I talk so far. I don't

1469
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I you know, when I think

1470
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 1: of a Trump supporting family. You can make a show about,

1471
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, how about a show about a really you

1472
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 1: know all American dad who loves to barbecue and likes

1473
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 1: to you know, work on his car and a mom

1474
01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:47,280
Speaker 1: who's like a great mom and stay at home mom.

1475
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: Used to have a career maybe but decided, you know what,

1476
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 1: third wave feminism doesn't have to determine my life. And

1477
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 1: have kids that you know, like sports and football and

1478
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: like to go out and you know, maybe do some shooting,

1479
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: go do some hunting on the weekends. And you know,

1480
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:03,640
Speaker 1: they go to church and they're funny and they make

1481
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: jokes and they have the problems that we all have

1482
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: in life. But they're not you see. My My big

1483
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:11,679
Speaker 1: problem with Roseanne is I feel like there's a little

1484
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: bit of laughing at this family instead of laughing with

1485
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: this family. Sometimes it's subtle. I'm not saying it's that's

1486
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 1: the case in every joke all the time, but that

1487
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 1: you have this character who now and I did not

1488
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 1: watch the long run the show in the past, I'm

1489
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 1: coming into this now just on the reboot side, but

1490
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: to have this character who clearly is going to be

1491
01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: transforming over the course of the show into someone more palatable,

1492
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: more acceptable to liberals. Is just another form of getting

1493
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 1: people to agree, agree with the left. And I always

1494
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 1: tell people, if you want to, if you want to

1495
01:24:54,720 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 1: look at the most effective the most effective campaign for UH,

1496
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 1: for same sex marriage that I've ever seen is the

1497
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: couple that is in Modern Family, one of the most

1498
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: beloved and well watched shows on television. UH. The same

1499
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 1: sex couple, the gay couple that's married and adopts a

1500
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 1: little girl on the show. That's the most effective messaging

1501
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 1: for same sex marriage I've ever seen. And it's on

1502
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,640
Speaker 1: a It's on a sitcom. Don't underestimate the power of

1503
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,200
Speaker 1: these things. Don't underestimate the fact that the people that

1504
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: are making these choices know that the choices will have

1505
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: impact down the line. This isn't just about entertainment. There's more,

1506
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 1: there's more at stake, and there's more intended. All right,

1507
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: I'll have more on this as we go. I'll be

1508
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 1: right back. I hope every Democrat will be asked, is

1509
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: it a good idea to repeal the Second Amendment? Because

1510
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 1: I want every Democrat to answer that question. This is

1511
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: a very bad idea. I'm glad he's retired his right

1512
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: to his opinion like every other American. But I'm up

1513
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 1: here to take the Second Amendment, not repeal it. And

1514
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear what Nancy Pelosi says and

1515
01:26:04,640 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: every other liberal Democrats see if they will stand with

1516
01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: Justice Stevens or they'll stand with the Constitution. I'm dying

1517
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 1: to know. So I'm in a generous mood today, I

1518
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:14,040
Speaker 1: guess because I'm here to tell you that I think

1519
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham is spot on. You know, they want it,

1520
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,639
Speaker 1: then they should get it. They want to talk about

1521
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: repealing the Second Amendment, Let's talk about a gun band.

1522
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:25,560
Speaker 1: You know, this is one of the things that Democrats

1523
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,719
Speaker 1: do so much better than Republicans, including in the media.

1524
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:31,959
Speaker 1: They have a lot more megaphones, a lot more platforms

1525
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:33,679
Speaker 1: to do it. So maybe that's what it's all about.

1526
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: But just just keep on hammering home very blunenforced trauma

1527
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of questions. You know, do you want to ban guns?

1528
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 1: Do you want to ban assault rifles? Do you want

1529
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: to repeal the Second Amendment? Forget about and don't allow

1530
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 1: them to go Well, you know, maybe if we could

1531
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 1: think about take a vote, you know, no, do you

1532
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 1: want that or not? Get them on the record. They

1533
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,639
Speaker 1: don't want to be on the record for the most part,

1534
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 1: because they want to have it both ways. They want

1535
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: to praise the Parkland kids that are out there stumping

1536
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 1: for the Democrat Party and and just on the absolute

1537
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: attack against all kinds of Republicans, but they don't want

1538
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 1: to be necessarily necessarily affiliated with a specific position. They

1539
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,000
Speaker 1: should all be asked, do you want to ban guns?

1540
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: If if you want to end gun violence. We want

1541
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: to talk about how great the Parkland organization of these

1542
01:27:31,160 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: kids has been so far. You know, and I say

1543
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 1: these kids, and I'm talking about all the kids, just

1544
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 1: the few that are now celebrities. They've become celebrities. They

1545
01:27:39,640 --> 01:27:43,719
Speaker 1: don't know very much. They say really inflammatory and stupid things,

1546
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:49,719
Speaker 1: but particularly the hog kid. But why not just ask

1547
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 1: every Democrat? I mean, I do want to hear what

1548
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's answered the question is, and you know what

1549
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:56,519
Speaker 1: they'll try to do. Some of them will go, you

1550
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: know Pelosi is responsive would be something like man had

1551
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:04,920
Speaker 1: thing and and sportsmen and no. But let them say that,

1552
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:08,759
Speaker 1: let them make fools of themselves on this. I've been

1553
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: saying all along, and I love it when people get

1554
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,000
Speaker 1: really angry at me when Democrats get into this. But

1555
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: the truth is that it's really about not liking gun

1556
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 1: owners and all that they stand for. That's what all

1557
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:24,240
Speaker 1: this animus is about. How is Trump so tied in

1558
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: with guns? Think about that for just a part of

1559
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:29,280
Speaker 1: just a part of this little discussion we're having here.

1560
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,799
Speaker 1: Why is why is opposition to Trump at these marches

1561
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: so on display. We've had guns in private hands well

1562
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,799
Speaker 1: for the entirety of this country's history. But Trump hasn't

1563
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 1: loosened any gun restrictions. Trump hasn't done anything to expand

1564
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 1: access to firearms. No. Actually, on the contrary, there may

1565
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: be more legislation at least at the state level that

1566
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:03,320
Speaker 1: gets by under the Trump administration then there was under

1567
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. So what is what the hatred of

1568
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 1: Trump as a where tied into all the stuff about

1569
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 1: gun control? And it's just because, as I've said, antipathy

1570
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 1: toward gun violence is really just a cover for antipathy

1571
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: or disdain or hatred not liking people who own guns.

1572
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:28,559
Speaker 1: It's it's the other Guns are another rising force now

1573
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 1: in American society. And you can tell you know this

1574
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 1: from your own life. Ask somebody that you know, if

1575
01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 1: they're a gun owner, and never mind just their answer,

1576
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 1: their response to it will tell you overwhelmingly who they

1577
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:45,240
Speaker 1: voted for. Are they pro life or pro choice? Are

1578
01:29:45,280 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 1: they Christians who go to church on Sunday? You know,

1579
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 1: you start to break down the numbers on this, and

1580
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:57,520
Speaker 1: you'll see there is obviously obviously a a close correlation

1581
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 1: between conservatism in the Second Amendment. And so that's what

1582
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:06,320
Speaker 1: really motivates much of this. It's taking the moral high ground,

1583
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 1: supposedly taking the moral high ground and being able to

1584
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 1: call the n r A and anybody who supports them.

1585
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:14,120
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, n r A donations the

1586
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: month this just came out today, I think the month

1587
01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 1: after Parkland, RA donations were up three. I think it

1588
01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 1: was so clearly this is not going to have the

1589
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:29,879
Speaker 1: effect that many on the left think that it will.

1590
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:35,759
Speaker 1: You know, n r A donations went up dramatically. Oh,

1591
01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:38,679
Speaker 1: and the Second Amendment is not going away anytime soon.

1592
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: But I Lizzy Graham's right. I've started here on the

1593
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:44,719
Speaker 1: show to make him answer the question, make them answer

1594
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:46,679
Speaker 1: the question, and then ask them if they like Roseanne

1595
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:48,200
Speaker 1: and what they think about that, because you can make

1596
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:51,960
Speaker 1: all kinds of make all kinds of conclusions from that right,

1597
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 1: come to conclusions based on whether one supports Roseanne or

1598
01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 1: not as a reboot. And then if you really want

1599
01:30:57,840 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: to know something, ask them if they think J. J.

1600
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:02,559
Speaker 1: Abrams is over rated, because the only proper answer that

1601
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 1: question is yes. Anything other than that, Yeah, you can

1602
01:31:05,600 --> 01:31:07,400
Speaker 1: give me the evil eye in the other room, that's fine.

1603
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 1: Anything other than that unacceptable. J. J Abrams is them.

1604
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 1: So J. J Abrams is the Bruce Springsteen of scripted television. Bam,

1605
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: take that one to the bank. Quick break here, I'll

1606
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:22,519
Speaker 1: be back with more. Stay with me. So this is

1607
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:25,720
Speaker 1: a follow up to a story yesterday I was not

1608
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 1: expecting to do, but I have to. I suppose remember

1609
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:36,679
Speaker 1: when I told you about that Planned parenthood that tweeted

1610
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 1: out that we need a Disney princess who has, among

1611
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 1: other things, had an abortion. And I thought, while there's

1612
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 1: really nothing that the left is unwilling to politicize, pollute,

1613
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 1: and destroy, we can't even all just be okay with

1614
01:31:56,439 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 1: Disneys Disney princesses anymore. Oh, we have to make that

1615
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:03,400
Speaker 1: an issue. And I know there's already political correctness concerns

1616
01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: around them, but you have planned parenthood from an official account,

1617
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:10,160
Speaker 1: which it deleted, but saying we need a Disney princesses

1618
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:14,479
Speaker 1: had an abortion, as though that's a positive message for

1619
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 1: young girls and for all people. Quite honestly, I've seen

1620
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:20,000
Speaker 1: lots of Disney movies. I think Disney movies are generally

1621
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 1: pretty great. I thought that was the end of the story.

1622
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I got a little more context for it, though, and

1623
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 1: that is that there are memes going around that we

1624
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:32,000
Speaker 1: need a Disney princess that and people fill in all

1625
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,479
Speaker 1: the different blanks. We need a Disney princess that you know,

1626
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:39,479
Speaker 1: destroys the patriarchy or whatever, and planned parent who had

1627
01:32:39,520 --> 01:32:42,320
Speaker 1: said we need one that's had an abortion. I didn't

1628
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: think there'd be much more to talk about here, but

1629
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: sure enough. Jezebel, which is a I believe a radical

1630
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: feminist publication, but it used to be owned by or

1631
01:32:54,160 --> 01:32:57,200
Speaker 1: maybe still is owned by and and is affiliated with

1632
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 1: the same group as Gawker. Gawker dot com, which was

1633
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,560
Speaker 1: a disgusting cesspool of a website that operated for years

1634
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: and was just profiting off of human misery and character assassination.

1635
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:15,200
Speaker 1: And Gawker was one of the one of the worst

1636
01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 1: things on the web. But Jezebel, I think is from

1637
01:33:19,520 --> 01:33:23,000
Speaker 1: the same group that owned Gawker. Anyway, Jezebel wrote this piece.

1638
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 1: This was just this just went up yesterday. I can't

1639
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 1: even parody how crazy the left really is because they

1640
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 1: always outdo whatever I think the outer limits of their

1641
01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 1: insanity might be. And on Jezebel they had the following

1642
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 1: piece on their website. Statistically, at least two Disney princesses

1643
01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 1: have had abortions, and then this author proceeds to go

1644
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: into an analysis of how Disney princesses, which include Bell Rapunzel, Aerial,

1645
01:33:58,640 --> 01:34:03,479
Speaker 1: Tiana snow White, Darella, Aurora, Marita, Pocahonas, Jasmine, and Milan,

1646
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 1: more than two of them, at least two of them,

1647
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 1: according to this analysis, have had an abortion, to which

1648
01:34:11,600 --> 01:34:16,600
Speaker 1: I just immediately have to say, how stupid can a

1649
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:21,840
Speaker 1: person be who is paid to write about things if

1650
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:23,599
Speaker 1: we're really going to talk about this for a moment.

1651
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:26,920
Speaker 1: First of all, statistics don't work that way, right. It

1652
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,760
Speaker 1: would be like saying, well, you know, everyone has one

1653
01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:34,360
Speaker 1: point seven children in this country, so that's that's one.

1654
01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:39,439
Speaker 1: And also, statistically, all of the Disney princesses that I

1655
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 1: mentioned there, if we're going to, uh, if we're going

1656
01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:47,680
Speaker 1: to really look at this for a moment, are from

1657
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:53,040
Speaker 1: periods that were before the era of the modern abortion movement,

1658
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 1: so they most certainly, I can guarantee you that none

1659
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 1: of the Disney princess is have had an abortion. Um. Also,

1660
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: I believe some of them are mere teenagers based on

1661
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 1: the storylines. So why am I following up in this.

1662
01:35:12,200 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 1: I thought that yesterday it would be settled that Planned Parenthood,

1663
01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 1: which is a grotesque organization, deleted the tweet. They realized

1664
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:22,080
Speaker 1: that a Disney princess had had an abortion, they would

1665
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 1: leave it there, but the left wanted to double down

1666
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:27,880
Speaker 1: on it. And so that's how we have a piece

1667
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 1: about how statistically at least two Disney princess as they say,

1668
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 1: have had abortions. The effort to glorify abortion as something

1669
01:35:38,200 --> 01:35:41,760
Speaker 1: to be proud of is one of the most odious.

1670
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:43,840
Speaker 1: In fact, I you could put it up there in

1671
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 1: the same category of odiousness as anything else in modern politics.

1672
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:54,400
Speaker 1: It's as as wrong and gross and evil as any

1673
01:35:54,520 --> 01:36:00,360
Speaker 1: other mainstream political conversation that is happening right um. And

1674
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 1: I do believe that one day we will look back

1675
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 1: on this period in our history, in this country of

1676
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:10,320
Speaker 1: the planned parenthood, pro choice, pro abortion era, and be

1677
01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: completely and utterly horrified. But to forestall that day, the

1678
01:36:16,439 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 1: left is even willing to make peace, make make up

1679
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:24,519
Speaker 1: things like this. Disney princesses. Oh yeah, they've already had abortions. No, no,

1680
01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 1: they didn't. Used to. All these medieval and pre modern

1681
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:32,640
Speaker 1: societies where the Disney Princesses lived, they were lucky in

1682
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:36,879
Speaker 1: a sense because there was no procedure known as abortion,

1683
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:40,840
Speaker 1: so it did not happen. I just had to follow

1684
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 1: off with it. All right, We're gonna turn into a

1685
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 1: roll call segment here in a second. We'll spruce up

1686
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 1: the hut a little bit. Right now, it's a little

1687
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:51,240
Speaker 1: dour with our topics, but we'll be right back to it.

1688
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: So stay with me. It's one of these gray days

1689
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:56,599
Speaker 1: in New York City where I just feel like, can

1690
01:36:56,680 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 1: it be a beautiful spring day? Already? It's been so old,

1691
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:03,719
Speaker 1: it's been snowy. I've had enough. I want some good weather.

1692
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 1: I want to rock a T shirt. I want to

1693
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:10,719
Speaker 1: drink a margarita in a sidewalk cafe on the street.

1694
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 1: One of those days, Team, you know, I don't know

1714
01:38:20,479 --> 01:38:24,360

1715
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 1: First up, in roll Call, we got Michael who has

1716
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 1: sent a photo of his beautiful yellow lab and she's beautiful,

1717
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 1: so thank you for the photo. Steve is next up, Hey,

1718
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:38,400
Speaker 1: buck Love your show had one of my employees tell

1719
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:40,439
Speaker 1: me about your show, and I've been listening ever since.

1720
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 1: I was wondering about all of these Netflix documentaries about

1721
01:38:45,960 --> 01:38:48,160
Speaker 1: good food and such. I think it would be a

1722
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: fantastic idea to have a documentary about all the corruption

1723
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:56,400
Speaker 1: with the Democrat Party about President Trump and documenting all

1724
01:38:56,479 --> 01:39:01,160
Speaker 1: the allegations, but most of willing the truth instead of

1725
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:03,719
Speaker 1: the fake news that we are hearing every day. Getting

1726
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:07,080
Speaker 1: interviews with both right and left parties about the situation.

1727
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:09,400
Speaker 1: But I'm sure you're gonna get people on the left

1728
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 1: that will not do an interview. I know it would

1729
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:13,240
Speaker 1: be a lot of work, but maybe you could find

1730
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 1: somebody that could take this project and make it come

1731
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 1: to life. It could potentially go viral and educate people

1732
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:22,120
Speaker 1: on what is truly happening in our country. Steve, it's

1733
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 1: a great idea, and you know what I would. I

1734
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: would lead it if somebody could just help me get

1735
01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:29,040
Speaker 1: the funding. You know, this is the Truth Team, So

1736
01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 1: much of what is possible on the creative side, unfortunately,

1737
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:36,800
Speaker 1: and even in the creative commentary space, right, it's just

1738
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 1: a function of money. You know. This is why I

1739
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 1: say to you, and I'm very honest about it. Every

1740
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 1: time I do a read on this show, or you

1741
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:46,719
Speaker 1: hear a commercial and they have the call out codes

1742
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:51,560
Speaker 1: for for buck you know, buck fifteen or whatever it is,

1743
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:54,760
Speaker 1: depending on on the sponsor, that's just a way of

1744
01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 1: showing the sponsor that the folks listening are willing to

1745
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 1: give a shot to the product and also support what

1746
01:40:01,360 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 1: we're doing here. And the more, you know, the more

1747
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:06,080
Speaker 1: success with that we have, the more I can do

1748
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 1: live stream video from the Freedom Hut, the more success

1749
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:12,280
Speaker 1: I have with uh the history podcasts once we figure

1750
01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,280
Speaker 1: out how we're gonna present them, Uh, Then the more

1751
01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:17,599
Speaker 1: research and time and I could actually get a staff.

1752
01:40:18,120 --> 01:40:22,439
Speaker 1: You know. That's capitalism is wonderful, but it also means

1753
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:26,600
Speaker 1: that we gotta do we gotta be working within the

1754
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: reality of the finances here. So if somebody listening to

1755
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:33,519
Speaker 1: this wants to get together with me and some other

1756
01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 1: folks and come up with a way to do a

1757
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 1: really kick butt documentary on all the anti Trump corruption

1758
01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:43,320
Speaker 1: going on, you know, great, let's talk. As long as

1759
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:46,080
Speaker 1: someone can write a check for to do that kind

1760
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,439
Speaker 1: of documentary, I think we could do it for three

1761
01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 1: or four million. That would be my guess. Yeah, I

1762
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 1: know right, it's expensive. That's why it's hard to do

1763
01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 1: these things alright. Next up here, we have a Mickey

1764
01:40:58,240 --> 01:41:00,200
Speaker 1: who writes, I love how you call your girl friend

1765
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:03,280
Speaker 1: miss Molly. I have a granddaughter named Molly, and we

1766
01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 1: call her miss Molly, even though she is a little kid. Still,

1767
01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 1: she even has some teachers at school that have always

1768
01:41:08,479 --> 01:41:11,720
Speaker 1: called her miss Molly. Well, thank you very much, Mickey. Yeah,

1769
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:15,120
Speaker 1: Molly is great, and she is a very interesting background.

1770
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 1: She is on one side Latina and on the other

1771
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:24,560
Speaker 1: side Jewish, so her name is is a mixture of

1772
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:27,479
Speaker 1: different cultures as well. Uh. They call her Molly just

1773
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:30,760
Speaker 1: because they like it. It's actually there's no Irish in

1774
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 1: her background whatsoever. But thank you for the shout out, Mickey.

1775
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Um Sheldon. Next up here, Hey, Buck, just

1776
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,880
Speaker 1: heard you talking about Cardi B like you've never heard

1777
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:44,360
Speaker 1: of her until a few weeks ago, saying that you

1778
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: need to check out her rent on taxes since she

1779
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:49,400
Speaker 1: is making money. Now, I think she realizes how much

1780
01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 1: money she is losing. It's funny and enlightening. Shields high Sheldon,

1781
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:58,680
Speaker 1: um buck. I think those people devices. I've not had

1782
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: an issue here any podcast. He's also saying the podcast

1783
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 1: is fine, so you can hear it. Thank you, Sheldon. Yeah.

1784
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: People people feel differently about taxes once they start paying

1785
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 1: really serious taxes. And right now I am particularly orderary

1786
01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 1: about the federal government because I'm one of those folks

1787
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 1: who has to send in estimated taxes. It's not even

1788
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:19,839
Speaker 1: just that I have money taken out of my paycheck

1789
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 1: every two weeks, which I do, but any side projects

1790
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 1: that I have, some of the other things I'm involved with,

1791
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm paid as a contractor, and for those gigs I

1792
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,760
Speaker 1: have to send the federal government at check in advance

1793
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 1: of tax day just because they want their money right away.

1794
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:40,080
Speaker 1: All Right, we got Dale who's written out some bullet

1795
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: points here. Okay, Dale, let's get into it. Shields. I

1796
01:42:42,840 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 1: love your radio show and the Shieldside podcast about the

1797
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: outrageous Omnibus bill that the Dems and Rhinos pulled out

1798
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 1: of their collective took uses. I was very disappointed with

1799
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 1: President Trump for not videoing it, but I came across

1800
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:01,160
Speaker 1: a post comment that explains about ace up his sleeve

1801
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,120
Speaker 1: and why the omnibus is not such a bad thing.

1802
01:43:04,800 --> 01:43:06,400
Speaker 1: I do not know the validity of this. I'm not

1803
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:07,960
Speaker 1: sure if you've read this yet, but I would love

1804
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:10,600
Speaker 1: to know your thoughts and opinions. Have much respect for you.

1805
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:13,920
Speaker 1: You are the next rush Please read on. Well, since

1806
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:17,400
Speaker 1: you called me the next Rushdale, there's no higher complement,

1807
01:43:17,479 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: of course that I could be paid. Uh. I will

1808
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,840
Speaker 1: read on you right, and this is you're taking this

1809
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 1: from John Salisbury. President Trump outsmarts congress best explanation i've seen.

1810
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what the President canon can't do for

1811
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:34,120
Speaker 1: this omnibus bill. There's a lot of discussion both ways.

1812
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: So let's examine how money gets allocated and spent in

1813
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:40,800
Speaker 1: the US government. One Congress allocates money to be spent.

1814
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 1: The President spends the allocated money too. Once Congress allocates money,

1815
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,559
Speaker 1: their job is oversight of the money being spent. They

1816
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:50,360
Speaker 1: don't spend the money and have no say how it

1817
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 1: gets spent as long as it's being spent legally. That's

1818
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: their job to monitor with oversight. Three. Once the president

1819
01:43:56,520 --> 01:43:58,200
Speaker 1: has given the money with the instructions to spend it.

1820
01:43:58,280 --> 01:43:59,960
Speaker 1: He has a number of choices to make and spend

1821
01:44:00,040 --> 01:44:03,559
Speaker 1: naked uh blah blah blah. This opens up new options.

1822
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:06,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna skip ahead of here is going a little long. Um.

1823
01:44:06,800 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 1: Despite their language and the omnibus bill about the border wall,

1824
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 1: it is Trump by the state of emergency that Trump declared. Okay,

1825
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:14,600
Speaker 1: that's what this is about the state of emergency and

1826
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:17,240
Speaker 1: national security side. Look, I think that there's probably a

1827
01:44:17,280 --> 01:44:20,120
Speaker 1: way that Trump could do that. Just understand that it

1828
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 1: would immediately be challenged in federal court. And I think

1829
01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:26,439
Speaker 1: that a federal court, because of the politics involved, would

1830
01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 1: immediately put a stay on any Trump effort to use

1831
01:44:31,479 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 1: military funds and declare an emergency to do that. So

1832
01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 1: that's what I think about that. Um. Next up we

1833
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 1: have Mike, who writes, oh hey, Buck, good morning from Iowa.

1834
01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:47,479
Speaker 1: I see your a state guy. You have to try

1835
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:51,599
Speaker 1: this style of reverse seer to take your state game

1836
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:54,880
Speaker 1: to the next level. Well, Mike, UM, I am not

1837
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: familiar with the reverse seers, so I will read your

1838
01:44:58,160 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 1: your note here and it will give it a shot. Katie.

1839
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 1: Next up here, Buck, I was so excited to hear

1840
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: a shout out to miss my favorite game. Ever, you

1841
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 1: should hold up and binge on the whole series over

1842
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 1: a long weekend now that you're older and wiser. Truth

1843
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:16,920
Speaker 1: be told, I still haven't played Revelation because I don't

1844
01:45:16,960 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 1: want it to end. I love your show, especially hearing

1845
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:22,719
Speaker 1: references to pop culture and bumper music from someone around

1846
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:25,760
Speaker 1: my age. I'm a rush baby, and I'm thankful that

1847
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:28,560
Speaker 1: you represent a younger generation with as much accuracy and

1848
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 1: wisdom as Limball. Keep up the good work, Katie. Well,

1849
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,640
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Katie, very very kind of you,

1850
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:37,280
Speaker 1: and I'm certainly doing what I can here. Next up

1851
01:45:37,320 --> 01:45:41,000
Speaker 1: we have Tim who writes at the top okay for

1852
01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 1: roll Call. Well, thank you Tim for the permission. Another

1853
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:48,640
Speaker 1: awesome show. Bro. Personally, I'm just short of Oss. I

1854
01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:51,680
Speaker 1: began following you in the Blaze days. Well that was

1855
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:53,599
Speaker 1: when I was Oss. Tim. I think you're on board.

1856
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,840
Speaker 1: I have a challenge for Hollywood. Here goes. Create a

1857
01:45:56,920 --> 01:45:59,679
Speaker 1: new TV series similar to The West Wing, where there

1858
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:02,080
Speaker 1: the le can have their Madam President, where they act

1859
01:46:02,120 --> 01:46:04,880
Speaker 1: out alternate and creative ways of dealing with current events.

1860
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:07,640
Speaker 1: Have them make the case why America would want a

1861
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:11,599
Speaker 1: Democrat in the office. But if the right plays it smart,

1862
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:13,880
Speaker 1: they could create a conservative version of the West Wing

1863
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:19,479
Speaker 1: with a president pushing family values, Christian fundamentals, uh morals, values,

1864
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:23,599
Speaker 1: and a true constitutional republic and where the good guys

1865
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:28,160
Speaker 1: Americans always win. What do you think that? Tim? Sounds great?

1866
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:31,040
Speaker 1: But Hollywood's gonna block it because they're a bunch of libs.

1867
01:46:31,880 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave it there for today. Thank you so
