WEBVTT - Beware: Democrat Digital Dominance is Coming

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Mr Garbutschof teared down this wall. Either you're with us

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>or you were with the terrorists. If you've got healthcare already,

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>then you can keep your plan. If you are satisfied

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>with Trump is not, President said, take it to a

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>bank together. We will make America great again. We'll never

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>sharend It's what you've been waiting for all day. The

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton Show joined the conversation called Buck Toll free

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>at eight four four nine hundred Buck. That's eight four

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>four nine hundred to eight to five the future of

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>talk radio, Buck Sexton. Russia has made the decision to

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>expel sixty of our staff from that country and also

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>closed down our consulate in St. Petersburg. A short while ago,

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I spoke with our US Ambassador to Russia, John Huntsman,

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>who is serving over there. We spoke by phone and

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>he shared with me a statement which I'd like to

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>read with you this evening. Ambassador John Huntsman was convoked

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.760
<v Speaker 1>The Russian Federation dubbed sixty of our staff persona non

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>grata and they now must depart within seven days. They

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>also ordered the closure of our Consulate in St. Petersburg

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>within forty eight hours. It's clear from the list provided

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>to us that the Russian Federation is not interested in

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a dialogue on issues that matter to our two countries.

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:39.759
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Buck, Sex and show everybody you heard

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the announcement there from the State Department. Russia retaliates against

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>us after we retaliated against Russia for some of their

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>poor behavior, for some of the government's actions around the world,

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>most notably in recent weeks, the poisoning of a Russian

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>dissident former Well, the guy was formally rushing himself with

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>anov chuck, so they left chemical weapons fingerprints on that

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>assassination attempt, and now we are pushing back on them.

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to spend too much time on Russia.

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I just want to leave with though, because I would

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>like us to be a little cautious as a people

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>about how much we cheer on all this brinksmanship stuff

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>with Russia, or this this notion of a tit for tat,

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 1>I for an eye. I'm not saying we do nothing,

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 1>but this administration, the Trump administration, is now much more

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>aggressive in its responses to Russian You can say Russian

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>aggression around the world, and the Obama administration was at

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>any point in its eight years, And I worry that

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this has been uh pushed forward because

0:02:56.080 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 1>of the hysteria around the election meddling stuff. So, you know, Democrats,

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>who usually would be the one saying whoa, whoa, we

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>don't we don't want to, we don't want to be

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the ones that are, you know, messing around with this

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>nuclear power. Let's all. Ever, everybody calm down, a little bit,

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 1>calm down. Instead they're like, yeah, get him. You know.

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats usually wants telling us to back off, cave

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>to the dictator, don't worry about the strong man, the

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>U n will handle it. But because they think that

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Russia stole the election from Hillary, they're all, you know, yeah, like,

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>why doesn't Trump take a tougher line on Russia, a

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>tougher line on Russia. The Russian economy is not formidable

0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>as compared to OURUS at all, but Russia's ability to

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>cause problems for US in other ways, not directly militarily,

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>but through third parties, through proxies, Russia's Arsenal, which has

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of stuff. Ever, I mean, how many of

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>us let's be honest, even knew what nov Chuck was

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>before it appeared in the newspapers as a chemical weapon

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that was proprietary ry to the Russians that they used

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>in an assassination attempt. They got all kinds of nasty stuff.

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:11.839
<v Speaker 1>But now we seem to have a situation where the

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>media and the establishment has gone from saying Trump is

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>so weak on Russia to oh wow, Okay, Trump is

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot. That's a good thing. And I worry

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>that now you've got everybody, it's like everyone's rowing in

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the same direction on this one. And maybe just we

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>need to keep an eye on how much we want

0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>to antagonize Russia for any number of these issues that

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the administration has tackled in the last twelve months or so,

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and even before that, remember there were the obamaministration put

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:45.040
<v Speaker 1>sanctions on where Obama was a lame duck president. That's

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>an easy thing to do, but we we should not,

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>we should not be to cavalier about poking at this

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:58.720
<v Speaker 1>country time and time again in the ways that we are.

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>There are a lot of ways they can make things

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>difficult for us, and it would be better, It would

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>be much better if, in fact, we were in a

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 1>place where we could find common ground with Russia, and

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and the environment has become such that you even say

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that almost sounds now like you're some kind of a

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>turn coat, right, you know, we should find common ground

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>with Russia. Oh does potent have video of you with

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the hookers or something? I mean, it's always, that's always

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the response. Now in one way or another, you're insufficiently

0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 1>pro American or you're insufficiently loyal to America. Now, and

0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>this is kinda and it's not bipartisan, but you've seen

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.119
<v Speaker 1>this in both parties. If you even raise the idea

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>of let's have a more constructive relationship with Russia, that's

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>not just premised on you know, you do this, and

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>we do that in response, and it's heading in a

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 1>very negative direction. I would also know that Russia is

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot less important to the United it States

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>in every sense then China. And yet you have all

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 1>this piling on oh trum putting the dictator and all

0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>this bad stuff, and so much less of the media's

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>attention spent on China and the the economic and military

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>challenge that it poses for us. You know, Cyberg gets

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>a little more tension Now this is just a reflection

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>of the Trump's arrangement syndrome that's been pushing the media

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>now for gosh, I don't even know how many, you know,

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 1>eighteen months, pushing the media to run with this Russia

0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>story as though it's such a big deal. So everything

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.480
<v Speaker 1>with Russia is magnified, is what I'm saying. And the

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 1>environment now is a little bit of a frenzy. There's

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a hysteria and yeah, yeah, get Russia. Okay,

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>let's let's just pump the brakes a little bit on this, right.

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Russia is really not a country that affects your day

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to day very much, doesn't affect my day to day

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 1>very much, and yet it's a ordered on the media

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 1>all the time. This obsession with Putin and we all

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>know why hasn't changed really at all as a country

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>since Obama was in office. But now all of a sudden,

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>it's and I think, and this is I guess my

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>cautionary note here. I feel like it's some level the

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>democrat and media is like the guy who's you know,

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>at the other end of the bar, who's saying, yeah,

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>get him, just to see if you can get yourself

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>into some trouble, you know, egging you on, egging us,

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>meaning America on to go after Russia, wondering if maybe

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll make a blunder along the way. We've got big

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>We've got big financial issues that are heading for this country. Uh.

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>The more I dig into it, the more time I

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>spent thinking about it. It's coming, folks, And it's a

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>function of math. I'm not pretending that I've got some

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>crystal ball here, and I can tell you when it

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>is a function of math. We are twenty one trillion

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>in debt. We don't even talk about dealing with our

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>debts anymore. We passed them on the future generations. It

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>is entered generational theft. It is happening on a multi

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>trillion dollar, multi decade basis, and it is unsustainable even

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 1>for us. Our country is in a little bit of

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>of a of a hubris about how much debt we

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>can how much we can play games with credit, how

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>much debt we can carry, and this is an issue

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.120
<v Speaker 1>that we have to deal with sooner than later. But

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing on this. Instead, it's all, yeah, we expelled

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>some Russian diplomats, they expelled our diplomats. Okay, Fine, It's

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a news story that's much more instant the media than

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>it is to you and me. And that's because, ultimately,

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>do you think anyone will care or even remember in

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.199
<v Speaker 1>six months. The only thing that I think that that

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>could make it important is it is now creating something

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>of a momentum in the short term where there could

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>be a miscalculation, there could be an over and over

0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>reaction Russia could decide make things very nasty for US.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I've always been concerned about Russian support to the Taliban,

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>which US four star Jen Rolls have been saying. You know,

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>at least one general in particularly been saying, I think

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a problem we got here. Guys, think about what

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>happens if they decided to turn up that uh turn

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.079
<v Speaker 1>up that heat. I could get very ugly, very quickly.

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 1>So I have my concerns here. I know it's being

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.839
<v Speaker 1>celebrated as a victory, and you know it's harder for

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:19.680
<v Speaker 1>them to rome with the Trump is a Russian puppet

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>narrative when Trump is going after Russia more than than

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>any of his recent predecessors have. But that doesn't mean

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that we should get too enthusiastic about it either. I

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>want to talk to you about the the decision not

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 1>to create a second special counsel. I think it's the

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 1>right one. I'll get into why that is, um and

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>we will also talk about Oh, I've got more on

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Roseanne for you. I watched the show two episodes in fact,

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and I did not well, let's let's just leave that

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>out there. But if a cliffhanger for you, I don't

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you who gets the rose I gotta

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 1>wait till after the commercial. I don't know how many

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 1>of you watch The Bachelor. Ms. Molly has made me

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>watch it like a few times. Calm back, calm down, nonsense.

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Uh so, yeah, she twisted my arm. That's right. And

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>we've got we've got a whole bunch of things we've

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>gotta hit on. So we have a pack show, as

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>we always do. If you want to add your voice

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.560
<v Speaker 1>into the mix here eight four four to five eight fuck,

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>we'll be right back. But certainly, drugs are flowing across borders.

0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>We need walls. We started building our wall. I'm so

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>proud of it. We started, We started. We have one

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>point six billions and we've already started. You saw the

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 1>pictures yesterday. I said, what a thing of beauty and

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 1>we're getting that sucker built. And you think that's easy.

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>People said, oh, has he given up on the one nine?

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Never give up. I never. We have one point six

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 1>billion towards the wall. That's what I do is I build.

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I was always very good at building. It was always

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>my best thing. I think better than being president. I

0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:57.839
<v Speaker 1>was maybe good at building. So Trump saying we're getting

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:03.680
<v Speaker 1>the wall right here, we are, Omnibus passed, and he's

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>saying there's gonna be a walt No one thinks one

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>point six billion is gonna be enough. So what's the

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>next step. I know there are these theories out there,

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and they've been floated by Trump himself that he's gonna

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 1>use military spending. I think that could lead to an

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>immediate challenge in federal court, which would delay anything. But

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I m hm. And Trump is saying it's one point

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>six billion and that that's gonna be a good start.

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Gets a little frustrating sometimes. And we're gonna talk about

0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>other things to do on the show. I want to

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>talk to you more about the deep state, taking the

0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>deep state on. We'll get into that in a few minutes.

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>But I've I've seen some of the commentary from some

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 1>very ardent Trump supporters. You know, I think it's hard

0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>to find somebody who was earlier on in her support

0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.280
<v Speaker 1>for a Trump presidency than than Ann Coulter. And we've

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>had I've had on I don't know how many times

0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I've had her on radio shows in the past a bunch,

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and she is really going after Trump on this and now,

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I like, I think she's just offering up this criticism

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>of Trump as a as a corrective in the aftermath

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>of that whole omnibus bill situation. I think so. But

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>be prepared for some some harsh, some harsh stuff from

0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.079
<v Speaker 1>from his culture regarding Trump, who She wrote a book,

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you remember before the presidency, like Trump is the most

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>awesome thing ever or something. It was something it was

0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>like that, that was that was the book. I mean,

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I forget what the exact title was, but it was

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>like Trump is the most amazing thing ever. She refers

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to him sometimes as the Emperor God Trump, you know,

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.880
<v Speaker 1>like ants. It's very very witty, very funny. But she

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 1>is not taking this wall omnibus bill situation lightly at all.

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>It was precisely that he was so course that allowed

0:12:54.720 --> 0:13:00.080
<v Speaker 1>him to make these say these incredibly courageous things. He

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't care what Manhattan eleas thought of it against to

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>the White House. Suddenly all he wants is the approval

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of the Manhattan fancy people. He sure didn't care for

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 1>the eighteen months he was running so the shallow course

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.920
<v Speaker 1>ignoram us. Yes, it was a selling point because he

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't care what people thought of him. Now all he

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 1>wants is for Goldman Sachs to like him. I don't

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.680
<v Speaker 1>know what happened, but that's a different president. I haven't changed.

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>She's upset about what's going on here about the wall,

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>as you can see, and I will know that in

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 1>her I think she said this week or in a

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>column this week, she says, if Trump builds the wall,

0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.959
<v Speaker 1>I'll retract everything mean I've ever said. And he's totally right,

0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and he's the most amazing president ever. Again, but I

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta say, folks, I just wanna establish now that we

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>this is not one that we can explain away if

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't happen. If it doesn't happen, the president didn't

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>make it happen. And this was a promise that it

0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>was what separated him from Rubio and the others. This

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>is what was different. He's willingness to even talk about this.

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the only reasons we can even discuss

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>immigration now in the context of how it's not always

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>how a legal immigration, for example, is not just one

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:17.160
<v Speaker 1>big pile of awesome for US. UM. But he's he's

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>saying it's gonna get built. I'm I'm withhold. I'm not

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.120
<v Speaker 1>withholding judgment entirely, but I can't give a final judgment

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>on this until we know whether or not it actually happens. UM.

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>We also have California today, very very noteworthy backing off

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of the UH sanctuary city mandates that

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 1>they've put in place. California has laws that are completely

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 1>completely out of control when it comes to immigrations and

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>customs enforcement. And now we're gonna have to see if,

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in fact they're gonna ease off a little bit at

0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the state level because Orange cown he has said that

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>they they want to oppose the sanctuary laws that are

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 1>in place here. And you get into this this fight

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.480
<v Speaker 1>at will the state pushed back on this. Will the state,

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 1>when I mean I don't mean the big es state,

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean the state of California say no, you have

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to do this you have to this way, we say, um,

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>but you know, these are only debates and discussions that

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>are happening because of Trump's standard immigration. And I would

0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 1>note I mentioned and before people sometimes forget this. Trump

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>read or at least took the argument from Audios America

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>and ran with that in the beginning. And that's how

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you remember the comment that all of a sudden, people like, whoa,

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>he's way ahead and the polls was about Mexico not

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>sending us their best. That was such a a bolt

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>of lightning in terms of what the political consensus allowed

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 1>at that point in time, meaning that it was just

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:55.160
<v Speaker 1>like what did he say? Right? It was it was

0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a shock to the system. And then the promises about

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the wall came up, and now here we are and

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>he's saying he's gonna get it built. He saying it's

0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna get done. We have to hold him to account

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>on this, and we absolutely have to. Um. He's also

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 1>saying by that he's going to protect the Second Amendment.

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I have no no concerns about that, and respected in

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 1>some circles Democrat said we want to get rid, we

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>should get rid of our Second Amendment. In other words,

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>get rid of it. That's really Chris could be right

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>about that. Your Second Amendment will always be your second Amendment.

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>We're not doing anything to that, and yet there's such

0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 1>a dishonesty out there. I think gas lighting is a

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 1>is a term that I'm familiar with from the left

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:55.119
<v Speaker 1>where and I believe it's taken initially from abusive situations

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>where somebody says, somebody will hit somebody. This is like

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>domestic relationship situation, will hit somebody and then you know,

0:17:01.640 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>an hour later we're like, I didn't hit you, and

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a form of psychological abuse. Uh. There's some kind

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:08.760
<v Speaker 1>of gas lighting that goes on with the media and

0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the repeal of the Second Amendment, where they'll have big

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>outlets run with the story and then they'll and they'll

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.680
<v Speaker 1>put the opinion out there if yeah, yeah, we should

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 1>repeal the Second Amendment, And then when people go, whoa

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.280
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second? You want to be the second

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>and they go, oh, no, no one said, no one

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.679
<v Speaker 1>sang that, No one sang it. Well, well, which is it?

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Can we get some Can we get some clarity on

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that one? That would be I think particularly word while

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>and then one more thing, I mean Trump spoke earlier today.

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 1>So this is just another one one that comes to

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>mind here. On taxes. They all want to be back

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.879
<v Speaker 1>in the USA, A lot of them left. They're coming back.

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>We've eliminated a record number of job killing regulations. That's

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:52.560
<v Speaker 1>one of the reasons they're coming back. We killed the

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 1>regulation and it's a thing of beauty. So I think

0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:00.159
<v Speaker 1>that's been a big, big success and a re and

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>for our success, and we've made history by massively reducing

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>job killing taxes. I'm all for it, but let's be clear,

0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 1>reducing taxes is about as mainstream a GOP position as

0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 1>you're ever gonna find. That's not revolutionary at all. I'm

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 1>happy for it. I'm not discounting it. Baba Bucka definitely

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Papa Buck needs a new pair of shoes. Literally, my

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>sneakers that I try to work out in once a

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>month are wearing out on me entirely. So I'm all

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>for the tax thing. But when I talked about the

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Trump Agenda, I'm particularly enthusiastic about the aspects of it

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:40.959
<v Speaker 1>that are different than the GOP, different than the swamp,

0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>different than what has been business as usual. We gotta

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.159
<v Speaker 1>hold them to that, folks. We're gonna stay on it.

0:18:46.200 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll go back. He's back with you now, because when

0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it comes to the fight for truth, the funk never stops.

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:08.840
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats appear like they weaponize to some degree the

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:14.719
<v Speaker 1>intelligence services by using the foreign intelligence surveillance apparatus in

0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 1>this country to go and target the opposition campaign is

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 1>totally unacceptable, and that's what happened here. I am happy

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that Bob good Laugh subpoened these one point two million documents,

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 1>but I said this earlier in the week. We need

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.480
<v Speaker 1>those documents. Like yesterday, I think we're going to get

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 1>all the documents, and if we don't, then we should

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:38.639
<v Speaker 1>move quickly to contempt, and then we should move to impeachment.

0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:41.879
<v Speaker 1>One of the mistakes we made is we never impeached

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Lois Lerner and we never impeached Costagan. Had we gotten

0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 1>later with it, we wouldn't be here today. They got

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:52.359
<v Speaker 1>away with faith. Devin Noon is laying down some heat

0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>as he should. Look. The reality I think here has

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:01.879
<v Speaker 1>been clear for a while, and that is is people

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 1>in very senior positions in the government under the Obama

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.879
<v Speaker 1>administration who figured that Hillary was definitely gonna win, but

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.200
<v Speaker 1>they wanted to make sure that she won they wanted

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to help um, and they also were terrified of the

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.920
<v Speaker 1>notion of a Trump residency. Abused their discretion and their

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:22.840
<v Speaker 1>authority and did what they could to try to dig

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>up dirt on Trump or just create this whole narrative.

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.160
<v Speaker 1>You know all that, right. I mean, we've even add

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 1>nauseum on this story because the media keeps coming. Although

0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.840
<v Speaker 1>right now, I'll tell you they're much more interested in

0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Stormy Daniels there's the main story and CNN right now

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>than they aren't anything having to with Russia, including the

0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 1>expulsion of sixty of our diplomats by the Russians. That's

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>that's uh second to your stuff, the the minutia that

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:53.240
<v Speaker 1>gets attention from the left. When it comes to Stormy

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Daniels stuff, it's like a Stormy Daniels lawyer had a bacon,

0:20:57.560 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>egg and cheese McMuffin this morning. I mean, the stuff

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:03.199
<v Speaker 1>they're running with OVERTENA it's like not not even news,

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just just they want to they want to flash

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 1>photos on the screen of the porn star that alleged

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>the affair. And I guess their audience. I guess people

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.199
<v Speaker 1>that hate Trump likes seeing this over and over again.

0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 1>It affects them not one bit, and it's really not interesting.

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:27.159
<v Speaker 1>But here we are. It's the main story. And I

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>do believe by the way they're they're laying off the

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Russia stuff right now because they want this whole policy

0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 1>response from Trump to pass and then they can start

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 1>pounding the Trump is in Russia's pocket. Druma again, But

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 1>right now it's a little too much dissonance, even for

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.639
<v Speaker 1>CNN if such a thing as possible and apples or banana, bananas,

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>an apple, it's all the same thing. But on the

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 1>weaponization of the intelligence community, specifically d o J and FBI,

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>which is I like to note the scariest part of

0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the government. Like I said before, prosecutors are very frighting,

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:04.360
<v Speaker 1>but also the DJ in general. You do not ever

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>want to be sitting across the table from a U

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.680
<v Speaker 1>S attorney or an assistant U S attorney discussing your

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 1>options for a plea. You know, there's no parole in

0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>the federal government system, so you serve the whole sentence,

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:22.959
<v Speaker 1>and the mandatory minimums are rough. So at the federal government,

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.600
<v Speaker 1>including for crimes, you're like, wait, what we're not talking

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>about for acts murderers, here folks were talking about for

0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 1>male fraud. We're talking about for for other things. I'm

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure a woman actually just got Speaking of how

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 1>our justice system, I think honestly that the way that

0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:40.439
<v Speaker 1>punishment has told out our justice system in a lot

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:43.159
<v Speaker 1>of ways doesn't make very much sense. Um. I think

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 1>a woman just got five years for voting illegally in Texas.

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure I saw that today. Five years in prison,

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 1>forecasting and illegal one illegal vote. She was a felon

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and did not know and said she did not know

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that she was not allowed to vote after the completion

0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:00.199
<v Speaker 1>of her sentence. But you'd be surprised which you get

0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.240
<v Speaker 1>sent away for and how long you know you commit it.

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 1>You commit fraud, you you could be facing a long

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:09.199
<v Speaker 1>stretch in the pen if you're somebody who you know,

0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>do something really terrible and violent. Depending on whether you

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:16.919
<v Speaker 1>go to state core, if it's not federal state, you

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 1>know you might have a better shot. You know, you

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:21.200
<v Speaker 1>just don't know. There are definitely people that serve more

0:23:21.240 --> 0:23:25.879
<v Speaker 1>time for white collar crimes in many instances than for uh,

0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:30.479
<v Speaker 1>manslaughter for example, if you take a please anyway, So

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.959
<v Speaker 1>the the Attorney General, my buddy Jeff As you know,

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:40.640
<v Speaker 1>he has said that the special prosecutor is not going

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:42.639
<v Speaker 1>to be the option the d o J goes with

0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:48.560
<v Speaker 1>right now to look into all this stuff. Special prosecutor

0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:50.880
<v Speaker 1>is not the way, not the way to go. They're

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna have the Inspector General. Look, I think this is

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the right move, and I think it's the right move

0:23:55.720 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>for a number of reasons. For one, if it comes

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 1>from inside the Department of Justice itself, I think now

0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you can argue this one. But I think that it

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 1>seems a little more like, well, it's just the normal process,

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:14.399
<v Speaker 1>and if you set up a separate special council, it

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.120
<v Speaker 1>looks like you're just trying to you know, you're trying

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:19.159
<v Speaker 1>to do a Yeah, I'm doing this as well. You know,

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 1>it's fighting fire with fire, but so political, because the

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 1>current special council, the Mueller probe is so obviously a

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 1>witch hunt against Trump, to set up another special council

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.479
<v Speaker 1>may look like you're just trying to dirty up the

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.640
<v Speaker 1>other side, whereas you could just use the Inspector General

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and the internal processes of the Department of Justice to

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 1>get this information. Well, we've seen this week is not

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 1>only that decision coming out from Jeff Sessions, but also

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the FBI now has agreed two and this is under

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:54.919
<v Speaker 1>FBI Director Ray to move more quickly on things, because

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 1>my friends, FBI is playing games here, no question about it.

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean the whole FBI. I'm not saying like

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>every field agent in you know, Topeka is messing around

0:25:07.960 --> 0:25:09.680
<v Speaker 1>with the books or something. I mean, at the top

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:14.239
<v Speaker 1>level in d C, at at FBI, h Q, there

0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>are decisions that are being made that are at a

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>minimum skewed towards defending the bureau's reputation at a minimum,

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:26.359
<v Speaker 1>and that's not the way that's supposed to be. We

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.200
<v Speaker 1>should have a full accounting of the facts, or we

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.200
<v Speaker 1>should know exactly what happened. You know, You're starting to

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:34.399
<v Speaker 1>see a problem here, the disparities and the hypocrisy, right,

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:37.760
<v Speaker 1>the disparity between the Hillary Clinton email investigation. How are

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 1>witnesses treated, How is Hillary treated? How was the law read?

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 1>And then how the special counsel has been going with Trump? Right,

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:47.120
<v Speaker 1>how are those witnesses treated? Is anything overlooked? Is any

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>has anyone given the benefit of the doubt? You know,

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 1>does the tie go to the runner with Hillary? You know,

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 1>and even have to run to the base and they

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 1>were calling you safe with Trump. You're getting tagged after

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 1>you've dusted yourself off already hit the base and they're

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:05.119
<v Speaker 1>calling you out right. It's it's a very disparate treatment.

0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>But within the d o J itself, what you see

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 1>is if if you lie to d o J, are

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:13.439
<v Speaker 1>you engage in any kind of hiding or impropriety, you

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:15.639
<v Speaker 1>as a private citizen, particularly if you're tied to Trump,

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you're you're dunzo. I mean, you are gonna get crushed.

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:21.919
<v Speaker 1>But if you happen to work for the d o J,

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you know there's gonna be a lot of efforts to

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:27.640
<v Speaker 1>try to keep stuff secret, and you know that they're

0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:30.240
<v Speaker 1>going to cover for you. The fact that the text

0:26:30.280 --> 0:26:34.879
<v Speaker 1>messages between Struck, the FBI agent and his UH mistress

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Page talked about this judge and how they wanted to

0:26:38.119 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 1>make sure that they could meet with the judge and

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:43.399
<v Speaker 1>not recuse themself. That judge was overseeing the Flinm case

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 1>at the time. That's a big deal. Why would the FBI,

0:26:49.240 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 1>on on what legitimate grounds would they hold that back

0:26:51.960 --> 0:26:55.360
<v Speaker 1>from us? The answer is none. The answer is that

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:58.200
<v Speaker 1>they're protecting the reputation of the Bureau and they think

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:02.400
<v Speaker 1>they have a very wide mandate to do that. And

0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to tell you that that is troubling. We

0:27:05.960 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 1>see time and again political abuses in agencies that have

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of power FBI i r S with

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Lois Learner, as was mentioned, and there's no accountability. There

0:27:20.800 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 1>is no accountability, and the government seems to think that

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they can rely on secretcy. Remember there was a lot

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of secrecy in the i R S too. Can't release

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:34.439
<v Speaker 1>tax and tax information, can't release this, can't release that,

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:37.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, criminal liability. I think even for people to

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 1>release private tax information, uh, that's you know, that they've

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:45.479
<v Speaker 1>gotten from a third party. So they are all kinds

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 1>of problems, all kinds of issues with how the government

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:51.480
<v Speaker 1>tries to keep information back from us, and we just

0:27:51.520 --> 0:27:53.120
<v Speaker 1>have to demand to see it. We have to say,

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 1>you know what, this is enough of the games. You know,

0:27:56.000 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>this FISA abuse situation. This should be a four alarm fire.

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 1>To my my friends out there who are fireman, I

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:05.119
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's the what's the most for a fire?

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Is it four alarms or five alarms? I mean, if

0:28:08.160 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 1>if stuff gets like really wild, if it's like a raging,

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 1>fiery tornado inferno? Is that like a six alarm fire?

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know fireman stuff. I just

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 1>remember all the funny jokes that the m YPD you

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:21.240
<v Speaker 1>used to make about the f d n Y and

0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't repeat them on air because I don't want

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:25.880
<v Speaker 1>to get in the middle of that. But I think

0:28:25.920 --> 0:28:28.119
<v Speaker 1>fore alarm fires the most anyway, it should be a

0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:34.200
<v Speaker 1>forelarm fire using despying apparatus of the United States government.

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 1>I also know this is another thing? Is am I right?

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Forelarm fire or five? Come on, John? What do you

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 1>got for me? Ten alarm fire? Whoa not? Six? Seven? Um?

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, apparently there's ten alarm fires which I

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't know about. That must be crazy. I must be

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 1>like staring into the mouth of the volcano. Right, that's

0:28:56.560 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a ten alarm fire. But the the spying apparacity

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the United States government another note here, we had this

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:06.720
<v Speaker 1>thing now if not ever referring to spying. You know

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.400
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting, isn't it. I mean you had h I

0:29:09.400 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 1>think the former CI director say that the agency for example,

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>like doesn't doesn't really doesn't spy here, it's just intelligence no,

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 1>there's spying, right, there's spying going on. And when people

0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 1>are intercepting your communications, that's you can call it surveillance,

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.000
<v Speaker 1>which is a sort of a fancy French word for spying,

0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 1>because that's what it is, the surveyance. Say it like

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>that and all of a sudden sounds a little cooler

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:39.160
<v Speaker 1>or not. But the spying apparatus of the United States

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 1>government was used for political purposes. And as I've said

0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to you, all they had to get was one really

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 1>juicy nugget, you know, all they had to get was

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 1>one bit of information that was either it didn't even

0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 1>have to be criminal, it just had to be so

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of politically damaging that it could be leaked the Washington

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Then would all be over right? I mean, just imagine

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>for one second that you know, somebody that they had

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:07.719
<v Speaker 1>under surveillance, where they they when they gathered these communications

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 1>from Carter Page or somebody else, there was something off

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 1>hand said that was really and you you don't need

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 1>me to to paint a picture here, you can think

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>of it yourself. Right, this is a hypothetical, but really, uh,

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:23.480
<v Speaker 1>not something you'd want publicized that got out there from

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 1>any member of the campaign or or even from somebody

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, Trump or somebody right around him at the

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:32.479
<v Speaker 1>top level, could have been the end, right, just one email,

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:36.560
<v Speaker 1>one text message and if you have the legal discretion

0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:39.120
<v Speaker 1>to look for that information based on Carter Page is

0:30:39.240 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>running some international conspiracy and Carter Page is a clown.

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 1>He may be a reasonably nice guy, I don't know,

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:48.120
<v Speaker 1>but he's a clown. He's not doing any conspiracy. He's

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the center of this whole thing. He's the centerpiece of

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:54.600
<v Speaker 1>all of this. You know, Ever since I interviewed Julian Assans,

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie, I've been a little worried about

0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 1>my own communications. That was like a year ago. I'm like,

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:01.240
<v Speaker 1>oh gosh, they I shouldn't. Maybe I shouldn't do this

0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>from you know, an I P address that's actually tied

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:07.960
<v Speaker 1>to me. But anyway, just talk to the guy. But

0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 1>we don't want our government spying on us. This should

0:31:11.080 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>be a really big deal, a really big story. Notice

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 1>how the same people who are up in arms about

0:31:17.440 --> 0:31:21.120
<v Speaker 1>whether Facebook shared information that Facebook already has with a

0:31:21.200 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>third party for the purposes of marketing, when they're doing

0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:26.959
<v Speaker 1>that all the time anyway, those people are so freaked

0:31:26.960 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 1>out about information they are freely giving to the government.

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Are somehow on the other side of this, people who

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 1>are telling you that miking up Carter Page is entire

0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>life basically based on this preposterous idea that he's a

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Russian agent. Is okay, this is the single most important

0:31:49.640 --> 0:31:51.760
<v Speaker 1>thing the Department of Justice can do right now, get

0:31:51.880 --> 0:31:53.840
<v Speaker 1>us answers and the truth on this. I think the

0:31:53.880 --> 0:31:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Inspector General is equipped for it. I think a special

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 1>counsel is probably not needed as long as the i G.

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Is pushing hard and Jeff Sessions is going to push it.

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:06.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's, uh, that's where we are on this,

0:32:07.400 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see. Um. But you know there are these

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:15.000
<v Speaker 1>text messages about different figures involved in this by possible coordination.

0:32:15.080 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 1>We we need this stuff to be out there. I

0:32:16.840 --> 0:32:18.360
<v Speaker 1>want the facts, all right, all right, I know I've

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:21.640
<v Speaker 1>run longer. I'm gonna run to a break. Uh. Let's

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:22.880
<v Speaker 1>just do that and I'll come right back. I got

0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:47.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot more, well, John, just so you know you

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:51.160
<v Speaker 1>did not overstate it. My friend, uh, Mike, send this

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 1>to me. A sixteen alarm fire, which is this is

0:32:57.200 --> 0:33:00.040
<v Speaker 1>the the the fiery Sharknado of fires. I mean, I

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't even know that was a thing sixteen alarm fire

0:33:02.640 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 1>in Brooklyn back in Um, I don't. I mean, I

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:10.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think they could. That's not really a fire. I

0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know. I I just learned. I've

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:16.720
<v Speaker 1>heard about like a fore alarm fire before. I just

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:18.720
<v Speaker 1>realized I don't know any of my firefighting. All I

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:20.959
<v Speaker 1>know I learned from backdraft, and I'm assuming that's not

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:24.240
<v Speaker 1>very much. So, if any, we actually have a lot

0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>of listeners who were firefighters, so you know, send me

0:33:27.200 --> 0:33:29.160
<v Speaker 1>some resources so I can actually learn how this goes.

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I know that, you know, they build the trucks, they

0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 1>make a lot of noise, they bring water, they wear suits.

0:33:35.600 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 1>You know. I don't know. I don't know much about

0:33:37.040 --> 0:33:39.640
<v Speaker 1>it at all. And then I always was. I was

0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:41.800
<v Speaker 1>just always a musing I was never given the other

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:45.360
<v Speaker 1>side of it, which is the fire department guys making

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>fun of the NYPD guys, and I never got that

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 1>part of it, which I'm sure there's also a lot

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:52.920
<v Speaker 1>of a lot of humor that goes back and forth.

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, apparently sixty sixteen alarm fire. So it's it's

0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:00.680
<v Speaker 1>whatever the producer Mike is has got my back here.

0:34:00.680 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>He says, the number of alarms generally indicates how many

0:34:03.800 --> 0:34:08.279
<v Speaker 1>firefighters and vehicles are dispatched, So it's whatever the fire,

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:13.359
<v Speaker 1>and now it all makes sense, alright. He thanks, thanks Mike.

0:34:14.120 --> 0:34:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I had a feeling of something like that, by the way,

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 1>if it had to be so. I hear this stuff sometimes.

0:34:20.080 --> 0:34:21.919
<v Speaker 1>I had a high school classmate, you know, I don't

0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:23.880
<v Speaker 1>even remember if he ended up doing it, but I

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.600
<v Speaker 1>thought the guy had his stuff together because we were

0:34:26.600 --> 0:34:29.239
<v Speaker 1>all sitting around talking about how we were gonna try

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:33.080
<v Speaker 1>to go to like grad school or something and become lawyers.

0:34:33.160 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>My high school is a lawyer factory man. Everyone ended

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 1>up being a lawyer. And and he's like nice, like

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 1>I want to be a fireman, and we're all like

0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:42.560
<v Speaker 1>we kind of looked at him, and you know, I mean, look,

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that's that's cool. I mean it's you know, I worked

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:47.200
<v Speaker 1>for the police department for a while. But I just

0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 1>it was funny because he wasn't like, I want to

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 1>be a fireman, and he hadn't thought about it. He's like,

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 1>the pension system is amazing. I get to work out

0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:56.840
<v Speaker 1>all day. You get to like have this amazing schedule.

0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 1>You can you can retire, at least in New York.

0:34:59.320 --> 0:35:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I think you retire the twenty years no matter how

0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 1>old you are when you join, you get all kinds

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:04.879
<v Speaker 1>of good O. T He had like we're we were

0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 1>like sixteen. He had worked this out to the tape.

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Actually spoke to another friend of mine racially about how

0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 1>he was on a trip in I think it was

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 1>in Germany and he was at some like Bavarian beer

0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:19.439
<v Speaker 1>hall there and they're all these guys there and they're

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 1>all from the same fire department. He's like, he's like wow.

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:23.040
<v Speaker 1>He's like, you guys are all here. They're like, yeah,

0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 1>we've got like you know, comp time or something. And therefore,

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I think the fire department and outside just around San

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Francisco great gig for them. Apparently I've gone way off

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:34.839
<v Speaker 1>the rails here. I am gonna come back and talk

0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to you about how the dominant, the leftist domination of

0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 1>media is going to come back and come back fiercer

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:46.040
<v Speaker 1>than ever before unless we do something about it. You

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:51.279
<v Speaker 1>have the Obama dynasty that I mentioned before is going

0:35:51.320 --> 0:35:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to be built differently than they were building, the Hillary

0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Clinton one or the Clinton one, I should say, Uh,

0:35:56.000 --> 0:35:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the Obama dynast is going to be digital, and it's

0:35:58.600 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be not through a pseudo charity, but through media,

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:09.760
<v Speaker 1>through entertainment. I mentioned yesterday that pundits run the country,

0:36:09.800 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and it is true. Obama knows that, and all of

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:15.040
<v Speaker 1>his backers, all of his people know that Obama is

0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:17.719
<v Speaker 1>actually going to be the main force going forward. I

0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 1>think in the Democrat Party you're going to see that

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 1>happening more in the next year. But some of his

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 1>top people are also getting involved in this. I'll explain

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.600
<v Speaker 1>what I mean and where this is all going, but

0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:32.279
<v Speaker 1>you have to stay with me through the break because

0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't share it all right now, I got so

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 1>much more to say. Our two coming up. He's holding

0:36:50.480 --> 0:36:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the line for America. Buck sex in his back. How

0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:01.360
<v Speaker 1>is the Left trying to control of the conversation, control

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the platforms, the outlets. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody.

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I like Netflix a lot, not as much of a

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Hulu guy. I like Netflix. MS Molly likes Hulu. You know,

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:15.279
<v Speaker 1>to each his own. I've seen a lot of very

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:17.240
<v Speaker 1>good shows on Netflix. I do think House of Cards

0:37:17.280 --> 0:37:19.200
<v Speaker 1>is wildly overrated. And oh, by the way, we will

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:21.960
<v Speaker 1>get into Roseanne which I watched in the third hour

0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:23.759
<v Speaker 1>to the show. I've got some additional thoughts on it.

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I think a little bit. I know, Trump called Roseanne

0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to congratulate her on the huge ratings of the show.

0:37:29.680 --> 0:37:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I am. I have a bit of a contrarian view

0:37:32.760 --> 0:37:35.319
<v Speaker 1>of all of this, my friends, which I will share

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:37.839
<v Speaker 1>with you in the third hour. I gotta I gotta

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.360
<v Speaker 1>keep you, I gotta keep it spicy, you know. But

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.000
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't an Emerald Bam with the spice, right, that

0:37:43.120 --> 0:37:45.560
<v Speaker 1>was the And now there's also a spice meme guy

0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 1>who does the thing with his hand and the right

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:52.719
<v Speaker 1>the throws the salt salt meat, Salt Salt Bay, Thank you,

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Salt Bay. Salt Bay is kind of the new uh,

0:37:57.200 --> 0:37:59.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of the new Emerald Bam, right, I mean it's

0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:05.240
<v Speaker 1>sort of maybe anyway. Whatever. So Netflix, though, is great,

0:38:06.520 --> 0:38:08.680
<v Speaker 1>but guess what, It's run by a bunch of liberals.

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Guess what else? Facebook run by a bunch of liberals.

0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Google run by a bunch of liberals, and I mean

0:38:14.800 --> 0:38:18.160
<v Speaker 1>run run and owned by I should say Amazon, and

0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:20.800
<v Speaker 1>The Washington Post run by a bunch of liberals. Trump

0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:24.360
<v Speaker 1>called out Amazon earlier today and actually caused the stock

0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to get a little bit of a little bit of

0:38:26.440 --> 0:38:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a hit. So there's that. But you'll notice when I'm

0:38:31.080 --> 0:38:36.239
<v Speaker 1>talking to you about digital media platforms, which are not

0:38:36.360 --> 0:38:38.839
<v Speaker 1>just changing our day to day to lives, but really

0:38:38.880 --> 0:38:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the engines of the engines of the economy right now.

0:38:45.040 --> 0:38:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's there's a huge amount of growth that

0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:53.480
<v Speaker 1>just comes from the stocks that are in these areas. Um,

0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:55.840
<v Speaker 1>it's all liberals that own them and run them and

0:38:55.880 --> 0:38:59.719
<v Speaker 1>operate them. This is significant, my friends. Right people say, oh, buck,

0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:02.000
<v Speaker 1>we'ren media. We've got Fox News now on the internet,

0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, but cable is changing and everything is going

0:39:06.080 --> 0:39:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to go digital and outlot card at some point in

0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:09.839
<v Speaker 1>the future. I don't know when. Everyone people have been

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 1>saying this for years. Content will still be important and

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:17.560
<v Speaker 1>monetizeable and valuable, right the actual shows that go on TV.

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:22.560
<v Speaker 1>But that's changing. How we get the content is changing,

0:39:23.280 --> 0:39:25.279
<v Speaker 1>and everything is gonna be integrated, as we know, in

0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:27.239
<v Speaker 1>your computer and your TV and all this all gonna

0:39:27.239 --> 0:39:30.960
<v Speaker 1>be treated pretty much the same way. Who controls the

0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:41.839
<v Speaker 1>access points Liberals, leftists, progressives. They control Netflix, Hulu, Comcast, Google, YouTube, Facebook,

0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:44.719
<v Speaker 1>go down the list, Instagram. I know some of these

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:48.920
<v Speaker 1>own other ones, but what do we have on our side?

0:39:50.560 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 1>And I would be okay even with with a truly

0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 1>neutral social media BMF. I'd be okay with a truly

0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:01.279
<v Speaker 1>neutral digital media. But it doesn't exist, and somehow they've

0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 1>all skewed left again. This We've been kind of asleep

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:04.880
<v Speaker 1>at the wheel on this one. I'm just gonna be

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, folks. I've been telling you for a while,

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:09.640
<v Speaker 1>this is happening. There's no way that you have Mark

0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Zuckerberg in some ways the most powerful CEO on the planet,

0:40:15.239 --> 0:40:17.560
<v Speaker 1>who is clearly a man of the left, and that

0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:19.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't affect what goes on at Facebook. It's just not

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:23.839
<v Speaker 1>just not reality. Now you're starting to see what the

0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:28.719
<v Speaker 1>next what the next version? The two point? Oh sorry,

0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 1>all this is going to be. Obama is getting shows

0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:35.759
<v Speaker 1>via Netflix. They're not sure if he's going to be

0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:38.120
<v Speaker 1>on one, maybe you know, do sort of a political

0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:43.280
<v Speaker 1>talk show. Obama then becomes somebody who's in a position

0:40:43.320 --> 0:40:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to direct the national conversation in a similar way to

0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Ellen and Oprah and Seacrest. I mean, these people who

0:40:51.719 --> 0:40:56.920
<v Speaker 1>have enormous followings on TV. But Obama was a politician,

0:40:57.120 --> 0:40:58.960
<v Speaker 1>right and now he might might have that role. He

0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 1>also will be beyond this scenes producer on these things,

0:41:01.960 --> 0:41:05.000
<v Speaker 1>executive producer role and credit or maybe just credit. Who

0:41:05.000 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 1>knows Susan Rice one of his top advisors. You remember

0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Susan Rice, right, I mean, she does have some experience

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:17.959
<v Speaker 1>in the in the video space. Based on the best

0:41:18.000 --> 0:41:21.640
<v Speaker 1>information we have to date, what our assessment is as

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 1>of the present is, in fact, what it began spontaneously

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in Benghazi as a reaction to what it transpired some

0:41:30.760 --> 0:41:34.319
<v Speaker 1>hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course, as you know, uh,

0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:38.000
<v Speaker 1>there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:43.080
<v Speaker 1>by this hateful video. So she's got some video experience

0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:45.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about the video that did not in fact cause

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:49.399
<v Speaker 1>Benghazi and that was a terrorist attack. But so there's that.

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:52.440
<v Speaker 1>But she's gonna be on the board at Netflix. Give

0:41:52.520 --> 0:41:56.760
<v Speaker 1>me on the board voting on strategic decisions that affect

0:41:56.760 --> 0:41:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Netflix's future. I can assure you there are other top

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Obama people that are already on boards that you're not

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:05.120
<v Speaker 1>even thinking of right now, that are determining policy at

0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:08.760
<v Speaker 1>places like Facebook, Netflix and others, determining what gets made.

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:12.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's another thing out there that no one

0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:14.279
<v Speaker 1>really spends much time and attention, and I've talked to

0:42:14.280 --> 0:42:16.080
<v Speaker 1>some I actually talked to a tech blogger about it

0:42:16.080 --> 0:42:19.360
<v Speaker 1>on her podcast maybe six months ago. People think that

0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:23.080
<v Speaker 1>social media is like this even playing field. You know, however,

0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:25.680
<v Speaker 1>many followers you have on Facebook or Twitter or whatever,

0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it's just based on whatever people buy them. That's something

0:42:30.120 --> 0:42:32.080
<v Speaker 1>that never really gets talked to you. You can buy followers,

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:37.240
<v Speaker 1>real and fake. And Facebook has been encouraging the buying

0:42:37.280 --> 0:42:39.480
<v Speaker 1>of followers in a sense by demanding that more and

0:42:39.520 --> 0:42:43.799
<v Speaker 1>more people pay for h their posts to be seen

0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:46.719
<v Speaker 1>by people, because really what you want is people to

0:42:46.719 --> 0:42:49.279
<v Speaker 1>see your stuff and then follow you. But also, we

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:52.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's going to these algorithms. It's not even

0:42:52.520 --> 0:42:54.920
<v Speaker 1>just it's it's iTunes as well, it's Apple. Do we

0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:57.840
<v Speaker 1>do we know how they're how do they pick the

0:42:57.880 --> 0:43:01.600
<v Speaker 1>top podcast to show you to see who else gets

0:43:02.040 --> 0:43:05.040
<v Speaker 1>who else is going to get following followers on a podcast.

0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 1>It's an algorithm. It's not just based on sheer download numbers.

0:43:09.080 --> 0:43:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can tell you this show, which is

0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a radio show but we also have a podcast of it,

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:16.920
<v Speaker 1>does orders of magnitude more downloads a month than some

0:43:17.000 --> 0:43:18.759
<v Speaker 1>of the shows that will appear on the top one

0:43:19.080 --> 0:43:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of iTunes. But they say, well, but it's real, it's

0:43:21.719 --> 0:43:24.839
<v Speaker 1>it's a rebroadcast. It's different, and you know it's it's

0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:27.200
<v Speaker 1>about the downloads versus the number of shows, and they've

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:30.359
<v Speaker 1>got some. It's not just like the most wins. You know,

0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 1>you don't even see this with the you know, the

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:34.399
<v Speaker 1>New York Times and playing this game with their best

0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:37.040
<v Speaker 1>seller list of books for a long time. They got

0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:39.160
<v Speaker 1>a formula. It's not just who sells the most books.

0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:43.520
<v Speaker 1>There's a formula. There's an algorithm. That's just a fancy

0:43:43.560 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>way of saying that there are ways to cheat and

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to steer the conversation, and there are ways for the

0:43:50.239 --> 0:43:54.279
<v Speaker 1>left to win. This is the most important we we

0:43:54.400 --> 0:43:56.440
<v Speaker 1>know we kind of won the battle against the old

0:43:56.520 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 1>media bias establishment and that at least now it's you know,

0:43:59.719 --> 0:44:02.719
<v Speaker 1>any one from CNN, for example, who's like our journalists

0:44:02.719 --> 0:44:05.080
<v Speaker 1>down the middle. I mean, it's laughable, right, it's preposterous,

0:44:05.080 --> 0:44:09.000
<v Speaker 1>it's silly, it's foolish. But we're gonna have to fight

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that battle again now with Facebook and Twitter and all

0:44:11.640 --> 0:44:15.040
<v Speaker 1>these other entities, because I am telling you they are

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:17.719
<v Speaker 1>even more left skewing than we can realize right now.

0:44:17.760 --> 0:44:20.040
<v Speaker 1>A lot of it is happening on the back end.

0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 1>We don't have the data. The people that make the

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:28.200
<v Speaker 1>decisions are leftists. They are leftists and they are evangelists

0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:32.839
<v Speaker 1>as well. Silicon Valley is hyper progressive, not a little

0:44:32.840 --> 0:44:37.839
<v Speaker 1>bit progressive, hyper progressive. You know, who do you think

0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:40.080
<v Speaker 1>is calling the shots at the at the state level

0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:43.319
<v Speaker 1>in California for some of these crazy policies. Who puts

0:44:43.320 --> 0:44:45.400
<v Speaker 1>it in the ear of some of these politicians to

0:44:45.480 --> 0:44:49.719
<v Speaker 1>do these They have these ruinous, ruinous regulations for the

0:44:49.800 --> 0:44:55.279
<v Speaker 1>environment for whatever Silicon Valley. So keep an eye on this.

0:44:55.680 --> 0:44:59.239
<v Speaker 1>Obamas who's in rise, There'll be others as well. Oh,

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea Clinton in. They gotta they gotta let the Clinton

0:45:01.880 --> 0:45:04.560
<v Speaker 1>stench kind of waffed away a little bit after the loss.

0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:06.520
<v Speaker 1>But Chelsea Clinton is gonna be put on the boards

0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:08.399

<v Speaker 1>In the last few months, Uh, it really has changed,

0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:23.319
<v Speaker 1>not from Congress, but from these internal political appointees that

0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:27.359
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to politicize VA and trying to make sure

0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:31.640
<v Speaker 1>that our progress stopped, and it's been a very difficult environment.

0:46:31.719 --> 0:46:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It's been um one where we've been distracted from our mission.

0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I was not against reformed pensation, and I think that

0:46:41.920 --> 0:46:45.759
<v Speaker 1>it was really the political pointees that we're trying to

0:46:45.880 --> 0:46:49.400
<v Speaker 1>undermine our efforts at v A. There you have the

0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:52.600
<v Speaker 1>recently ousted as in yesterday, we got to announce it

0:46:52.640 --> 0:46:55.439
<v Speaker 1>on air. That's one of our specialties here. We get

0:46:55.480 --> 0:46:59.279
<v Speaker 1>to tell you first about the folks who have been

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:01.839
<v Speaker 1>booted from the administration, because they usually do it late

0:47:01.880 --> 0:47:04.200
<v Speaker 1>in the day, right, you don't get fired at nine am.

0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:07.960
<v Speaker 1>You get fired, you know, five pm. And then we

0:47:08.040 --> 0:47:09.799
<v Speaker 1>come all right afterwards to be like, hey, guess who

0:47:09.880 --> 0:47:14.360
<v Speaker 1>got fired today? Sholkin? That's who? Or that was yesterday.

0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:17.600
<v Speaker 1>So he's out. But people are starting to ask questions

0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:19.839
<v Speaker 1>about why and what and who and how and all

0:47:19.880 --> 0:47:22.960
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. A few things here. First of all, I

0:47:23.040 --> 0:47:27.279
<v Speaker 1>believe unless I'm mistaken, and we know usually when I

0:47:27.320 --> 0:47:31.400
<v Speaker 1>say that, I am not um but I believe Sholkin

0:47:31.440 --> 0:47:36.040
<v Speaker 1>at one point was at a pointee of the Obama administration.

0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:40.839
<v Speaker 1>I could be wrong, but I think that that's the case. Well,

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 1>this does raise, though, uh is that it seems to Oh, yeah,

0:47:45.320 --> 0:47:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the only holdover from the That's what I thought, the

0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:52.320
<v Speaker 1>only holdover from the Obama administration. See, what you're seeing

0:47:53.239 --> 0:47:56.799
<v Speaker 1>is that the deep state is a real thing, and

0:47:56.880 --> 0:48:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the deep state is not just about the FBI, the

0:48:00.680 --> 0:48:04.400
<v Speaker 1>bureaucracy for reasons that I can explain to you because

0:48:04.440 --> 0:48:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I was there. Unlike a lot of the other folks

0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you'll listen to on radio or even see on TV,

0:48:09.800 --> 0:48:13.280
<v Speaker 1>I was not at the appointee level. It wasn't all fancy.

0:48:13.320 --> 0:48:15.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have a private car driving me around with

0:48:15.320 --> 0:48:17.479
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of staff and everything else. That sounds nice,

0:48:18.320 --> 0:48:20.080
<v Speaker 1>But if you're just gonna be one of those little

0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:23.640
<v Speaker 1>cubical farmers like I was, you get a sense of

0:48:23.719 --> 0:48:25.440
<v Speaker 1>what the politics of the rank and file and the

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:29.400
<v Speaker 1>federal bureaucracy is. And then when you see at the

0:48:29.400 --> 0:48:31.720
<v Speaker 1>top people that have been bureaucrats for a long period

0:48:31.719 --> 0:48:37.160
<v Speaker 1>of time, you are not surprised in the least that

0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:41.879
<v Speaker 1>they are leftists. They are statists. They believe very much

0:48:41.960 --> 0:48:44.160
<v Speaker 1>in the government. People asking Buck, why did you leave

0:48:44.160 --> 0:48:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the CIA. I think CIA has a great mission. I

0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:50.800
<v Speaker 1>think there are some incredible people who work there, But honestly,

0:48:51.120 --> 0:48:54.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a large federal bureaucracy, and that's just not my jam.

0:48:54.640 --> 0:48:56.239
<v Speaker 1>That's just not what I want to be doing with

0:48:56.280 --> 0:48:58.240
<v Speaker 1>all my time. I did it for a while, I served,

0:48:58.239 --> 0:49:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I got out. You know, is it? Some people love

0:49:02.280 --> 0:49:09.239
<v Speaker 1>the structure, others hate the bureaucracy, meaning all the extraneous, foolish,

0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:12.040
<v Speaker 1>silly stuff you deal with. But when you look at

0:49:12.080 --> 0:49:15.239
<v Speaker 1>who is more likely to think that that kind of

0:49:15.239 --> 0:49:17.919
<v Speaker 1>bureaucracy is a good thing or that that they'll take

0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to it, of course it's democrats. The people who think

0:49:21.560 --> 0:49:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the government should fix all problems are going to often

0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:27.960
<v Speaker 1>be the people who really really want to spend their

0:49:27.960 --> 0:49:30.480
<v Speaker 1>whole lives working in the government. Becauesn't you know? It

0:49:30.560 --> 0:49:36.440
<v Speaker 1>makes perfect sense. But at the very senior level as well.

0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:41.040
<v Speaker 1>You see this with some of the Obama holdovers, right,

0:49:41.120 --> 0:49:44.640
<v Speaker 1>You see this with people who were appointed. Comey was

0:49:44.680 --> 0:49:49.279
<v Speaker 1>an Obama holdover, Shulkin was an Obama holdover. And the

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:52.680
<v Speaker 1>moment that they're out of office, the mask drops and

0:49:52.719 --> 0:49:56.360
<v Speaker 1>we see that they are, in fact, uh left of center.

0:49:56.680 --> 0:49:59.279
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna talk smack about the current president, about the

0:49:59.280 --> 0:50:03.239
<v Speaker 1>current administration ation, and it's just it's not it's not

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a surprise to me at all. We see this time again.

0:50:06.560 --> 0:50:09.720
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Comey who as you know, I've really

0:50:09.800 --> 0:50:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I've got to be in my bonnet about Comey because

0:50:12.680 --> 0:50:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I hate power mad prosecutors. I mean, there's nothing worse

0:50:15.080 --> 0:50:18.200
<v Speaker 1>in the government than a prosecutor who is unethical. It's

0:50:18.239 --> 0:50:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the single most uh frightening thing for your everyday citizen

0:50:24.560 --> 0:50:26.440
<v Speaker 1>in terms of dealing with your government. Quite honestly, as

0:50:26.480 --> 0:50:29.839
<v Speaker 1>a power mad prosecutor. Nobody else can ruin your life

0:50:29.880 --> 0:50:31.759
<v Speaker 1>as fast as a prosecutor who decides that it's in

0:50:31.840 --> 0:50:35.880
<v Speaker 1>his interest to do so. And Comey is such an opportunist.

0:50:35.920 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, now he's out on this book tour. You know,

0:50:39.040 --> 0:50:42.040
<v Speaker 1>remember when he was the guy that was that was

0:50:42.160 --> 0:50:45.719
<v Speaker 1>the reason that Hillary lost. Oh that's right. Now he's

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the guy who's on a book tour and getting all

0:50:48.160 --> 0:50:51.240
<v Speaker 1>this love, including a huge advance from the left because

0:50:51.280 --> 0:50:54.319
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be the one who they think is part

0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:57.879
<v Speaker 1>of bringing Trump down. So you have a guy who

0:50:57.960 --> 0:51:00.720
<v Speaker 1>was blamed for Hillary's loss at one point now selling

0:51:00.800 --> 0:51:03.440
<v Speaker 1>books and going on a book tour where he's going

0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to be beloved and feted by that's fetted in the

0:51:08.040 --> 0:51:10.320
<v Speaker 1>French way, not f E T I D from a

0:51:10.400 --> 0:51:13.920
<v Speaker 1>wordsmith's out there word play. But he's going to be

0:51:13.960 --> 0:51:17.600
<v Speaker 1>celebrated by Democrats because they think that he still has

0:51:17.640 --> 0:51:21.640
<v Speaker 1>a shot to bring down the Trump administration. It's kind

0:51:21.640 --> 0:51:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of crazy when you think about it, but that's comy.

0:51:25.920 --> 0:51:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Back to Schulkin, he's saying that there were Oh and

0:51:29.400 --> 0:51:32.160
<v Speaker 1>he's a hero temporarily. Oh what a surprise political here

0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:36.640
<v Speaker 1>writing no longer muzzled, Schulkin takes on Trump's White House.

0:51:37.560 --> 0:51:40.920
<v Speaker 1>The fired Veterans Affairs secretary claims he was politically knifed.

0:51:41.600 --> 0:51:46.279
<v Speaker 1>It should not be this hard to serve your country. Uh,

0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:50.719
<v Speaker 1>you know the notion that the v A, that that

0:51:50.800 --> 0:51:53.920
<v Speaker 1>privatizing parts of the v A is somehow going to

0:51:54.000 --> 0:51:56.480
<v Speaker 1>ruin it. You look at all the other places where

0:51:56.520 --> 0:52:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you have privatization, and you have greater efficient see, better services,

0:52:03.120 --> 0:52:07.120
<v Speaker 1>better technology just because of the way that systems and

0:52:07.120 --> 0:52:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and the way that life works. But there's a big

0:52:12.239 --> 0:52:15.200
<v Speaker 1>political backdrop to all the stuff with the VA, and

0:52:15.239 --> 0:52:19.040
<v Speaker 1>that is if the v A got privatized, something that's

0:52:19.200 --> 0:52:21.880
<v Speaker 1>very important to Wallace, how are our veterans being taken

0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:24.520
<v Speaker 1>care of? Is the sacred obligation we have to our

0:52:24.640 --> 0:52:31.040
<v Speaker 1>veterans by the citizenry being met. If in fact, we

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:38.320
<v Speaker 1>saw that privatization made it more, made that promise, uh fulfilled.

0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Think about what that would mean for the general healthcare debate.

0:52:42.760 --> 0:52:44.799
<v Speaker 1>Think about the talking point. And I don't mean that

0:52:44.880 --> 0:52:47.520
<v Speaker 1>in a in a bad way, but the data point

0:52:47.600 --> 0:52:50.719
<v Speaker 1>there you go. It's all about the words. The data point.

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:54.040
<v Speaker 1>It would give two Republicans and conservatives for why don't

0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:57.120
<v Speaker 1>we do more of this privatization stuff? How is privatization

0:52:57.160 --> 0:53:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a dirty word? Show me the country that over privatized

0:53:01.239 --> 0:53:04.359
<v Speaker 1>itself and has gone down the tubes. I mean, I'm

0:53:04.400 --> 0:53:05.960
<v Speaker 1>not familiar with I know a lot of places that

0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:08.880
<v Speaker 1>let the government run things, and it is you know

0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Dante's eighth Circle of Hell, Venezuela for example, Zimbabwe. I mean,

0:53:14.600 --> 0:53:16.480
<v Speaker 1>we can go down the list of countries that are

0:53:16.520 --> 0:53:21.360
<v Speaker 1>barely even countries anymore after the mismanagement that has occurred that,

0:53:21.719 --> 0:53:24.000
<v Speaker 1>by the way, countries that should not be poor. Right,

0:53:24.160 --> 0:53:26.759
<v Speaker 1>It's one thing to say Yemen is really poor and

0:53:26.800 --> 0:53:30.680
<v Speaker 1>as in as a country that's in crappy shape. Is

0:53:30.719 --> 0:53:32.360
<v Speaker 1>it's running out of water in the middle of the

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:35.880
<v Speaker 1>civil war and it's a desperate situation. Uh. But you know,

0:53:35.960 --> 0:53:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Yemen doesn't have a whole lot in the way of

0:53:38.239 --> 0:53:44.200
<v Speaker 1>natural resources at all. Venezuela Zimbabwe actually do have a

0:53:44.239 --> 0:53:46.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of natural resources, but they're very, very poorly run.

0:53:46.760 --> 0:53:52.160
<v Speaker 1>But privatization doesn't ruin countries. Government can ruin countries, and

0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the v A becomes this political football because oh, if

0:53:55.200 --> 0:53:57.560
<v Speaker 1>we privatized it and at worked even a little bit,

0:53:58.239 --> 0:54:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we privatize it in state ages and phases,

0:54:00.719 --> 0:54:02.319
<v Speaker 1>which is the only way you be able to do it,

0:54:03.400 --> 0:54:06.440
<v Speaker 1>then it would have implications for all the rest of

0:54:06.440 --> 0:54:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the discussions. And this is how everything is political because

0:54:08.960 --> 0:54:10.560
<v Speaker 1>once you start to look at things as a left

0:54:10.640 --> 0:54:14.440
<v Speaker 1>versus right paradigm all the time, it's scary because you

0:54:14.480 --> 0:54:17.080
<v Speaker 1>realize the left can justify anything under the auspices of, well,

0:54:17.120 --> 0:54:18.560
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to give the other side a win.

0:54:19.480 --> 0:54:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's how you get the Nancy Pelosi syndrome of like, well,

0:54:22.080 --> 0:54:24.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, do we really even think that we should

0:54:26.520 --> 0:54:29.680
<v Speaker 1>like the tax cut? It's just crumbs. She just want

0:54:29.680 --> 0:54:30.759
<v Speaker 1>to give the other side of win. By the way,

0:54:30.800 --> 0:54:32.320
<v Speaker 1>real quick, this was on out Numbered, one of my

0:54:32.360 --> 0:54:37.520
<v Speaker 1>favorite shows. As you know, look, I mean the question

0:54:37.560 --> 0:54:39.719
<v Speaker 1>is if I praised the way that Donald Trump looks

0:54:39.719 --> 0:54:41.160
<v Speaker 1>in the way is healthy? Do I get to run

0:54:41.160 --> 0:54:45.680
<v Speaker 1>a massive department? I mean we're talking about well, that's well,

0:54:45.719 --> 0:54:50.400
<v Speaker 1>that's very true. Thank goodness, Thank goodness. I think that

0:54:50.520 --> 0:54:56.040
<v Speaker 1>was Kennedy and Harris there doctors Zach pet Cannis being like, yeah, man,

0:54:56.520 --> 0:54:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you are neither a rear admiral nor nor a physician,

0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:02.160
<v Speaker 1>so it would be particularly weird if they made you

0:55:02.360 --> 0:55:04.319
<v Speaker 1>the v A secretary. I thought, that's kind of a

0:55:04.320 --> 0:55:09.640
<v Speaker 1>funny moment from earlier today. We got him, Um, that

0:55:09.640 --> 0:55:11.600
<v Speaker 1>guy seems to be a pretty good sport actually about

0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:14.560
<v Speaker 1>going going into a territory that's not always friendly to

0:55:14.640 --> 0:55:18.480
<v Speaker 1>his political beliefs. So we're gonna talk to you in

0:55:18.520 --> 0:55:22.080
<v Speaker 1>just a couple of minutes here about the left boycotting

0:55:22.280 --> 0:55:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and its seeming to work. And uh, I got a

0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:29.400
<v Speaker 1>whole lot more. Oh and Hillary speeches. Where are those fees?

0:55:29.920 --> 0:55:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Who wants to take a guess our Hillary speech fees

0:55:32.200 --> 0:55:36.040
<v Speaker 1>going up? We're going down? Are they going down a

0:55:36.080 --> 0:55:39.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit or are they going down a lot? We

0:55:39.239 --> 0:55:41.239
<v Speaker 1>will discuss all of that a much more eight four

0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to five eight four four buck if you would like

0:55:46.640 --> 0:55:49.400

0:55:54.560 --> 0:55:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Please subscribe as well, and we'll be right back. Sometimes

0:55:58.640 --> 0:56:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you may stop and think to your off, well, hold

0:56:00.680 --> 0:56:04.799
<v Speaker 1>on a second, is the media really as biased as

0:56:04.840 --> 0:56:06.759
<v Speaker 1>we as we think they are, as as we talk

0:56:06.800 --> 0:56:08.800
<v Speaker 1>about in the Freedom ond? Is it really that bad

0:56:09.640 --> 0:56:12.640
<v Speaker 1>some of your laughing, you're like buckets worse, which may

0:56:12.640 --> 0:56:15.600
<v Speaker 1>in fact be true. But if you're looking for a

0:56:15.760 --> 0:56:20.640
<v Speaker 1>great anecdote, you know, a a story that will tell

0:56:20.760 --> 0:56:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the tale, which I guess is another way of saying

0:56:23.600 --> 0:56:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a story that will tell the story. Come on, Buck, vocab,

0:56:26.440 --> 0:56:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I got I gotta get back to basics here. One

0:56:28.719 --> 0:56:30.440
<v Speaker 1>of you pointed out and thank you for it that

0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I said o leaguanist on the air, because I read

0:56:33.640 --> 0:56:36.920
<v Speaker 1>much more than I hear many of these words. So

0:56:37.080 --> 0:56:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm actually a bit of an autodidact. I'm not

0:56:40.160 --> 0:56:42.319
<v Speaker 1>even sure I'm pronouncing that one correctly, but I read

0:56:42.360 --> 0:56:44.799
<v Speaker 1>that one somewhere too. A lot of what I talked

0:56:44.840 --> 0:56:46.640
<v Speaker 1>about on the air is self taught, but it is

0:56:46.680 --> 0:56:49.279
<v Speaker 1>holy aginous for those who are wondering a great word.

0:56:49.320 --> 0:56:51.840
<v Speaker 1>By the way, it means kind of you know, Oily

0:56:52.840 --> 0:56:56.600
<v Speaker 1>using similar ish to uh, which is not a word,

0:56:56.719 --> 0:57:00.200
<v Speaker 1>to unctious, which is another great word. You know, the

0:57:00.200 --> 0:57:03.320
<v Speaker 1>guy who shows up at your at your family dinner

0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that's not really relative, and all of a sudden he's like,

0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I got a great investment for you. You You know, he's like, hey,

0:57:07.680 --> 0:57:09.120
<v Speaker 1>why don't you give me some of your cash? And

0:57:09.280 --> 0:57:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you can say that guy's unctious. You know you're your

0:57:13.560 --> 0:57:16.439
<v Speaker 1>uncle Bob who wants to get you into that used car. Hey,

0:57:16.640 --> 0:57:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I you know this one, This one speaks to you.

0:57:19.800 --> 0:57:22.320
<v Speaker 1>The vet gets it done. You guys are remember true lives.

0:57:22.520 --> 0:57:25.880
<v Speaker 1>That guy's that guy is anxious. May he rest in peace.

0:57:25.920 --> 0:57:28.320
<v Speaker 1>I just realized Bill Packiston passed away. He was young too.

0:57:28.360 --> 0:57:30.320
<v Speaker 1>He was a great actor. I love Bill Paxson's work.

0:57:30.520 --> 0:57:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I do, I'm not kidding, celebrate his whole catalog. But

0:57:35.880 --> 0:57:37.720
<v Speaker 1>away from words for a second here, So we have

0:57:37.760 --> 0:57:40.800
<v Speaker 1>only agenius anxious, what are something the other? But I've

0:57:40.840 --> 0:57:42.800
<v Speaker 1>said maelstrom a few times in the show recently, which

0:57:42.800 --> 0:57:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you all have pointed out. We gotta do a favorite

0:57:44.840 --> 0:57:47.800
<v Speaker 1>buck words. Um. I tried to. You know, I try

0:57:47.800 --> 0:57:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to stay away from profound as well, because if what

0:57:50.120 --> 0:57:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you say is profound, you shouldn't have to say it.

0:57:52.600 --> 0:57:55.919
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's like real gangsters don't talk much because

0:57:55.920 --> 0:57:57.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't have to. It's like, if you're what you're

0:57:57.840 --> 0:58:02.080
<v Speaker 1>saying is profound, then you're good to go. And you know, anyway, Hillary,

0:58:02.160 --> 0:58:05.320
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about Hillary and how this and how the

0:58:05.360 --> 0:58:09.000
<v Speaker 1>media ties into all this. So I was over. It

0:58:09.080 --> 0:58:12.720
<v Speaker 1>was great for background to be at CNN in the

0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:16.080
<v Speaker 1>year of an election, especially an election where so many

0:58:16.160 --> 0:58:21.400
<v Speaker 1>people there meeting the different journalists and producers were reminiscing

0:58:21.440 --> 0:58:23.680
<v Speaker 1>fondly about the Clinton years and the Clinton white House

0:58:23.680 --> 0:58:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and they had great access and they loved it, and

0:58:25.840 --> 0:58:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and they were tied and tight with the Obama white

0:58:28.920 --> 0:58:31.400
<v Speaker 1>House as well, and they were so happy about the

0:58:31.400 --> 0:58:33.480
<v Speaker 1>prospect of eight years of Hillary. It was it was

0:58:33.520 --> 0:58:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a near you for Elphoria. That's how Hillary says it.

0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:41.120
<v Speaker 1>It was going to be a kind of nirvana for them.

0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And so there were no there was no compunction whatsoever.

0:58:46.040 --> 0:58:49.440
<v Speaker 1>They had no problem doing whatever they had to do

0:58:49.600 --> 0:58:53.600
<v Speaker 1>to tell the stories the way that they would benefit Hillary. Right,

0:58:53.600 --> 0:58:55.200
<v Speaker 1>whatever would benefit Hillary, that was what they were going

0:58:55.240 --> 0:58:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to try to do. And one of the things that

0:58:57.480 --> 0:59:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I kept bringing up, especially and I would bring up

0:59:00.280 --> 0:59:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders, I'd be like, I mean, Bernie's the real deal.

0:59:02.360 --> 0:59:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Bernie's the the legit, the legit character. You know, he's

0:59:04.880 --> 0:59:07.680
<v Speaker 1>the one who wants to actually just just socialize it, baby,

0:59:08.120 --> 0:59:12.360
<v Speaker 1>socialize it. And I would say, you know, Hillary and

0:59:12.600 --> 0:59:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Bill are worth over a hundred million dollars. They have

0:59:15.040 --> 0:59:18.440
<v Speaker 1>created no product and do not run a four A

0:59:18.520 --> 0:59:22.360
<v Speaker 1>for profit company. They run a charity and they give

0:59:22.400 --> 0:59:27.560
<v Speaker 1>speeches on the side. But they also are political figures,

0:59:27.600 --> 0:59:30.440
<v Speaker 1>as we know, the greatest political dynasty in the country

0:59:30.480 --> 0:59:33.160
<v Speaker 1>until her last loss. I think you'd have to say,

0:59:33.360 --> 0:59:35.800
<v Speaker 1>certainly ahead of the Kennedy's in the Democrat line of

0:59:35.800 --> 0:59:39.680
<v Speaker 1>succession and Obama, well, the Obamas will see they may

0:59:39.880 --> 0:59:43.080
<v Speaker 1>they may become the great political dynasty of the Democrat

0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Party of the next you know, twenty years. But in

0:59:45.120 --> 0:59:48.840
<v Speaker 1>the meantime it was all about the Clintons. And yet

0:59:48.840 --> 0:59:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the Clintons made all this money. And I would have

0:59:52.000 --> 0:59:54.160
<v Speaker 1>journalists that would seem like smart people look at me

0:59:54.200 --> 0:59:57.919
<v Speaker 1>like that's that's not strange. I'd say, you know, I'm

0:59:58.080 --> 1:00:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm familiar with the speaking circuit, and I know what

1:00:00.160 --> 1:00:03.920
<v Speaker 1>famous people get paid to speak. You know, for me,

1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>you know if you if you said, if you invite

1:00:05.840 --> 1:00:07.360
<v Speaker 1>me to a nice enough place and you seem like

1:00:07.440 --> 1:00:10.400
<v Speaker 1>nice people, and you'll make me a plate of homemade, warm,

1:00:10.440 --> 1:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>gluten free chocolate chip cookies, there's like a decent shot

1:00:13.680 --> 1:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>that I will show up, you know. But some of

1:00:15.760 --> 1:00:18.640
<v Speaker 1>my more famous friends, you know, they'll show up. They'll

1:00:18.640 --> 1:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>give a speech for thirty fifty maybe a hundred thousand

1:00:24.360 --> 1:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>dollars if you're really if you're really pretty famous. Bill

1:00:27.760 --> 1:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Clinton was getting speeches for six seven, eight hundred grand.

1:00:33.120 --> 1:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>That just doesn't happen, Just doesn't happen. Hillary Clinton, Hello,

1:00:39.520 --> 1:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>she was getting speech fees of two hundred and fifty

1:00:42.400 --> 1:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>three hundred thousand dollars. Just doesn't really doesn't really happen

1:00:46.600 --> 1:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>unless you're not paying for the speech, you are buying influence.

1:00:51.760 --> 1:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And this I was Those of you who are OSS

1:00:54.000 --> 1:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>have been with me for a few years now. Now

1:00:55.600 --> 1:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I've been hitting this one hard because this was a

1:00:57.640 --> 1:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>real litmus test, and given the current meeting, I I mean,

1:01:00.280 --> 1:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>we're all the oh, all of you Christians are explaining

1:01:03.280 --> 1:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>away all of Trump's behavior. You know, there's a lot

1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of media looking down their nose at the rest of us.

1:01:09.480 --> 1:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>You know from the from the heights of Mount Olympus,

1:01:11.680 --> 1:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>staring down at US mortals and acting like they they

1:01:16.560 --> 1:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>have some right to dare I say, right to judge?

1:01:20.520 --> 1:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>And when you look at what they did for what

1:01:23.320 --> 1:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>they did on this specific issue of Hillary's wealth creation,

1:01:26.960 --> 1:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>and how obvious it was that this was a scheme

1:01:31.600 --> 1:01:35.320
<v Speaker 1>for peddling influence, how obvious the speech fees were. Well,

1:01:35.320 --> 1:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna tie into a current of current news.

1:01:37.320 --> 1:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry. I'm not just Hillary bashing for the fun

1:01:40.320 --> 1:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of it, although that's fun too, um and and I

1:01:43.440 --> 1:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>would say to them, you really believe, and they well,

1:01:45.320 --> 1:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what the market will bear. And I think I

1:01:47.560 --> 1:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>might have even said on air at scene end to someone,

1:01:50.360 --> 1:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I definitely said it all fair. I probably should have

1:01:52.040 --> 1:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>said it on air. Well, if you know, I'm a

1:01:53.600 --> 1:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>politician and someone wants to give me a paper bag

1:01:56.600 --> 1:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>for with a million dollars in it, that's what the

1:01:58.560 --> 1:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>market will bear if I'm gonna pass favorable legislation for

1:02:01.240 --> 1:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>their business. But it's also called bribery and you go

1:02:04.200 --> 1:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to prison for a long time for it. But for Hillary,

1:02:07.520 --> 1:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>oh no, I'm just giving her a lot of money

1:02:09.000 --> 1:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>because I need to hear her speak so badly. It's

1:02:11.680 --> 1:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>a busy Actually just almost passed out doing Hillary there. Ah,

1:02:17.560 --> 1:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a man, gosh, a kid. I would have ruin

1:02:20.320 --> 1:02:21.800
<v Speaker 1>my voice. I have to go to I have to

1:02:21.800 --> 1:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>go to Indiana this weekend to find people of Indiana

1:02:24.520 --> 1:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>deserve my voice as is. I'm not going to destroy

1:02:26.480 --> 1:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>it right now anyway. So Hillary gave these speeches, and

1:02:29.600 --> 1:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I would always say to them, you know, guys, can

1:02:31.680 --> 1:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>can we come back here? And they didn't like my

1:02:34.040 --> 1:02:36.080
<v Speaker 1>thing about the brown paper bag of money under the desk,

1:02:36.120 --> 1:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>but we all know that that's the same idea. I'd say,

1:02:38.640 --> 1:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>can we come back and and revisit this issue. This

1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>is when I was thinking I might still hang out

1:02:42.760 --> 1:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>at the n some more, but I got sick of

1:02:44.320 --> 1:02:48.440
<v Speaker 1>the whole situation over there. If we come back and

1:02:48.480 --> 1:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>look at what her speaking fees are once she's no

1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>longer going to be president. Who wants to guess what

1:02:57.240 --> 1:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Hillary is getting paid for at Rutger's where she's giving

1:03:01.400 --> 1:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>a speech? Uh today today she just gave a speech today,

1:03:07.480 --> 1:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty five thousand dollars. Does twenty five thousand dollars sound

1:03:12.600 --> 1:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>like two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to you, does

1:03:15.440 --> 1:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty five thousand dollars sound like eight hundred thousand dollars

1:03:18.040 --> 1:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>because those are the kind of speaking fees that Hillary

1:03:20.080 --> 1:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and Billy used to get in the past. I mean,

1:03:22.480 --> 1:03:24.680
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred thousand dollars you can get like a nice

1:03:24.720 --> 1:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>sweet and a whole bunch of ladies in Vegas. You know,

1:03:27.600 --> 1:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean just voters, registered voters. What do you think

1:03:30.120 --> 1:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about. Don't be shady. Uh. That was what

1:03:34.280 --> 1:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>they used to get Clinton Foundation donations falling off a

1:03:38.120 --> 1:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>cliff and I would I said this during the election.

1:03:40.760 --> 1:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I said, you know, if she loses, and they were

1:03:42.320 --> 1:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>also smugs, she's never gonna lose. Buck You're such You're

1:03:44.920 --> 1:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>so ridiculous, you and your trumpster fire. Uh you know,

1:03:50.040 --> 1:03:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I said, well, well, let's just assume if she loses.

1:03:52.000 --> 1:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna see if I'm right and you're wrong. And

1:03:55.120 --> 1:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>if you go back and listen to shows that I

1:03:56.520 --> 1:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>was doing during the campaign, it said, trust me, as

1:03:58.760 --> 1:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>soon as the as soon as the gravy train of

1:04:01.680 --> 1:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>government largesse stops, Hillary's fair market value as a speaker

1:04:07.240 --> 1:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to be a whole lot less, a whole

1:04:11.040 --> 1:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>lot less than it was beforehand, And doesn't that tell

1:04:14.600 --> 1:04:18.280
<v Speaker 1>us something about what was really going on? Doesn't tell

1:04:18.360 --> 1:04:21.919
<v Speaker 1>us something that the Clinton Foundation is getting a whole

1:04:21.960 --> 1:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>lot less foreign money all of a sudden. What they

1:04:24.160 --> 1:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>don't care about empowering women and and teaching school children

1:04:27.680 --> 1:04:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and you know, stopping malaria or whatever stuff. Actually Clinton

1:04:30.560 --> 1:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Foundation was really about women's empowerment stuff. Um, I'm trying

1:04:35.600 --> 1:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to climate change of course, and there was one other

1:04:38.760 --> 1:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>thing that comes, you know, something with school something with women,

1:04:41.360 --> 1:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and something with climate change, very amorphous things that you

1:04:44.280 --> 1:04:47.760
<v Speaker 1>really can't measure, you know. And the Clinton Foundation was

1:04:47.840 --> 1:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>largely at pass through for other charitable foundations, So the

1:04:51.160 --> 1:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Clintons were effectively acting as middlemen taking their cut of

1:04:54.400 --> 1:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>money that was supposed to be going two you know,

1:04:58.000 --> 1:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>underprivileged children in Africa, in Bangladesh and wherever. Right, That's

1:05:03.040 --> 1:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>that was the real role of the Clinton Foundation. But

1:05:06.760 --> 1:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I just want to know back to my initial premise here,

1:05:09.520 --> 1:05:11.280
<v Speaker 1>now that we can see that Hillary is worth a

1:05:11.280 --> 1:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>whole lot less on the speaking circuit, is it because

1:05:14.600 --> 1:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>she's not Did she get bad at speaking all of

1:05:16.600 --> 1:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, or were people paying her a lot of

1:05:18.720 --> 1:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>money to buy her favor? Maybe have future influence in

1:05:23.560 --> 1:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>her administration. Does any serious person really want to take

1:05:27.040 --> 1:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the other side of this argument? You know, I know

1:05:29.840 --> 1:05:31.960
<v Speaker 1>that say, oh, Park, you know she's not the president. Yeah,

1:05:31.960 --> 1:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>but now we have now the evidence is in. You know,

1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>now we actually have the numbers. Clinton Foundation money dropped

1:05:38.720 --> 1:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>off a cliff. Hillary speaking fees dropped off a cliff.

1:05:42.200 --> 1:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Why oh, that's right, Because it wasn't what the market

1:05:47.000 --> 1:05:52.520
<v Speaker 1>would bear. It was corruption. It was buying politicians in

1:05:52.560 --> 1:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the open, to the tune of over a hundred million dollars.

1:05:56.720 --> 1:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what was going on. And our so called journalist

1:05:59.480 --> 1:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>class are our our media of top watchdogs of power.

1:06:04.680 --> 1:06:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Not only it's not even that they didn't cover it

1:06:07.320 --> 1:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>enough or whatever they excused it. They came up with

1:06:11.240 --> 1:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>ways of saying, you know, this is just not not

1:06:13.080 --> 1:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that big a deal. It's nothing, It's fine. Everybody does it.

1:06:17.920 --> 1:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Hillary is amazing, She's gonna break the glass ceiling, all

1:06:21.680 --> 1:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of that. Well, I like to just take a little

1:06:24.960 --> 1:06:28.800
<v Speaker 1>visit into truth land, go into reality town, have a

1:06:28.840 --> 1:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>look around and talk to some of the folks. And

1:06:31.200 --> 1:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>that's what we're doing right now. The numbers don't lie. Hillary,

1:06:36.400 --> 1:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>she was doing speeches at universities. I think it was

1:06:38.560 --> 1:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>like U N l V or something in the last year,

1:06:40.960 --> 1:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>two of two grand not just taking even though she's rich.

1:06:46.520 --> 1:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, she can't turn off. She is a grasping

1:06:50.400 --> 1:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and deeply greedy human being, and they wanted to make

1:06:53.880 --> 1:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>her president because she would have been so much better.

1:06:55.840 --> 1:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>They say, yeah, right, all right, I'll be back with

1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:03.080
<v Speaker 1>more in including why the left does what they do

1:07:03.120 --> 1:07:06.920
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to overreacting to statements and trying to

1:07:06.960 --> 1:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>get boycott's going. I'm gonna leave that a little bit.

1:07:09.320 --> 1:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna leave that out there for right now. So

1:07:11.120 --> 1:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>you're like, Buck, what's going on? What If you want

1:07:13.320 --> 1:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to know what's going on, you have to listen through

1:07:14.960 --> 1:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the break and then I will tell you. But trying

1:07:17.840 --> 1:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to threatening boycotts, why do they do it? How do

1:07:20.240 --> 1:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>they do it? And what does it mean for all

1:07:21.520 --> 1:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of us? I'll get into that a much more coming

1:07:23.160 --> 1:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>up here in just a few The threat of boycotts

1:07:26.960 --> 1:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and an apology from a conservative commentator. It's a script

1:07:31.120 --> 1:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>that plays out time and again, and we just saw

1:07:33.600 --> 1:07:38.520
<v Speaker 1>it happen now with Laura Ingram. I think Ingraham, actually

1:07:38.600 --> 1:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I need to make sure I say the name properly

1:07:40.880 --> 1:07:44.320
<v Speaker 1>over at Fox News and David Hagg who I would

1:07:44.320 --> 1:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>note is running around saying all kinds of really outrageous

1:07:48.720 --> 1:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and unfair things, and he is in fact smearing people

1:07:53.920 --> 1:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>on a regular basis, like Mark A. Rubio and my

1:07:56.320 --> 1:08:01.120
<v Speaker 1>friend Dana Lash. But he is he has a an invincibility.

1:08:01.440 --> 1:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's like Frodo with the special armor that

1:08:05.080 --> 1:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>can't be pierced from the elves. You know what I'm

1:08:06.640 --> 1:08:08.959
<v Speaker 1>talking about it right, myth Thrill. I think it's called

1:08:09.480 --> 1:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I Love the Lord of the Rings? Am I right

1:08:10.920 --> 1:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>with that? Am I off on that? You guys are

1:08:12.920 --> 1:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>really both giving me the no, you don't know anyway,

1:08:17.400 --> 1:08:19.679
<v Speaker 1>So Frodo, you know, he gets stabbed by the big olger,

1:08:19.760 --> 1:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>He's got the magic thing on his chest. He doesn't die.

1:08:22.040 --> 1:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>It's good stuff for Frodo. Point here is that it

1:08:24.200 --> 1:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>makes him invincible to an extent. And Hog because he

1:08:28.240 --> 1:08:33.040
<v Speaker 1>suffered a a trauma. Um is also what's it called

1:08:33.120 --> 1:08:37.559
<v Speaker 1>John myth thrill shirt? Yeah, that's what I said. Looks amazing.

1:08:38.200 --> 1:08:41.840
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, he he was giving an interview. I'll just

1:08:41.840 --> 1:08:43.880
<v Speaker 1>go over this pretty quickly. It's not really that important

1:08:43.920 --> 1:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>giving an interview and he said, you know that he

1:08:46.680 --> 1:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>he didn't get into some of the schools he applied to. Now, which,

1:08:50.479 --> 1:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>trust me, my friend, we can all sympathize the way

1:08:54.040 --> 1:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>that he said. It's somewhat interpreted as he wasn't getting

1:08:56.920 --> 1:09:02.720
<v Speaker 1>in because of his activism maybe, And I think that

1:09:02.840 --> 1:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>struck some people as a a very strange way to

1:09:07.080 --> 1:09:09.719
<v Speaker 1>take it. What overwhelmingly, I mean, ask any admissions director

1:09:09.720 --> 1:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>in any top school in the country, left wing political

1:09:12.160 --> 1:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>activism is like, there's it's the Holy grill. I mean,

1:09:16.840 --> 1:09:19.600
<v Speaker 1>that's probably the best thing you could possibly do. So

1:09:19.640 --> 1:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>it seems strange that he might have been complaining about it.

1:09:22.080 --> 1:09:27.599
<v Speaker 1>And then uh, Laura Laura Ingraham tweeted out the following David. Now,

1:09:27.640 --> 1:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>she wasn't the first to write this either. It was

1:09:30.600 --> 1:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>posted I think on TMZ and she wrote, David Hogg

1:09:34.479 --> 1:09:37.759
<v Speaker 1>rejected by four colleges to which he applied and wines

1:09:37.800 --> 1:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>about it. Now, you know what, I go there, No,

1:09:42.960 --> 1:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>because I think that Hogg can say I'll say that

1:09:45.840 --> 1:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>he's saying dumb things, that he's being immature because he's

1:09:49.160 --> 1:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a kid, so it's not surprising he's being irresponsible. Uh,

1:09:52.720 --> 1:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't strike me as knowledgeable at all in these issues.

1:09:55.040 --> 1:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually he is quite ignorant, but he's made himself

1:09:57.280 --> 1:10:00.320
<v Speaker 1>a part of a national public conversation. But know I

1:10:00.360 --> 1:10:03.559
<v Speaker 1>don't make fun of his appearance. I don't, And if

1:10:03.560 --> 1:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>I ever do, I you know I would apologize for

1:10:05.560 --> 1:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>it afterwards. If I ever got heated and said something

1:10:07.560 --> 1:10:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that you know I had crossed the line, I haven't.

1:10:10.160 --> 1:10:13.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, uh, but I operate within a certain coat.

1:10:14.640 --> 1:10:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Is making a kind of a little bit of a

1:10:18.479 --> 1:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>snippy comment about him whining such a big deal. No,

1:10:22.160 --> 1:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't strike me such a big deal. I wouldn't

1:10:24.040 --> 1:10:26.479
<v Speaker 1>do it. But then again, if people ask me, well,

1:10:26.520 --> 1:10:27.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you think about what Trump said here? A

1:10:27.840 --> 1:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of the time, I'm like, I mean, I'm not

1:10:29.400 --> 1:10:32.679
<v Speaker 1>saying it's terrible, but it's not all. I would roll

1:10:32.560 --> 1:10:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a little lower ingram. I have a really tough top

1:10:35.320 --> 1:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>time or last time, And I always want to tell

1:10:36.760 --> 1:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the story about the U. S. S Ingram, one of

1:10:39.080 --> 1:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>the great stories told by Ronald Reagan a long time

1:10:42.160 --> 1:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>ago in a speech. Well, I'll have to save that

1:10:45.120 --> 1:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>one for another time. Cliffhanger for everybody, I'll save that

1:10:47.800 --> 1:10:49.639
<v Speaker 1>for another time. I've told it before on the show.

1:10:50.520 --> 1:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>If some of you write me and said we want

1:10:52.080 --> 1:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>to know about the U S. S Ingram and the Mediterranean,

1:10:54.840 --> 1:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you this story, but you have to

1:10:56.280 --> 1:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>write me on Facebook and request it. It would be

1:10:58.240 --> 1:11:01.200
<v Speaker 1>like a request of the DJ. That means, I guess

1:11:01.240 --> 1:11:05.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm the DJ. So Laura wrote Winds that that David

1:11:05.479 --> 1:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Hogg was whining about it, and the response to this,

1:11:09.120 --> 1:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>this is from CNBC. Advertisers including trip Advisor, Nestley and

1:11:12.960 --> 1:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Wayfair are dumping Laura Ingraham after she slammed Parkland survivor.

1:11:19.640 --> 1:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you had big advertisers that were jumping ship

1:11:23.360 --> 1:11:27.559
<v Speaker 1>based on that. And this is why the left is

1:11:27.600 --> 1:11:31.639
<v Speaker 1>so fond of using victims to advance political arguments, because

1:11:31.640 --> 1:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>the moment somebody doesn't even necessarily go over the line

1:11:34.760 --> 1:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and responding them just just gets close enough for the line,

1:11:38.439 --> 1:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>they go into boycott mode. And that was exactly what

1:11:41.720 --> 1:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>hog did. By the way, he specifically uh tweeted out,

1:11:46.120 --> 1:11:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you pick a number one to twelve,

1:11:48.960 --> 1:11:51.519
<v Speaker 1>contact the company next to that number, And they were

1:11:51.560 --> 1:11:53.960
<v Speaker 1>all of Laura Ingraham's top advertigers. By the way, do

1:11:54.000 --> 1:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you think somebody helped helped him find those I'm guessing

1:11:57.240 --> 1:11:59.519
<v Speaker 1>he had a little help and when after all of

1:11:59.560 --> 1:12:02.080
<v Speaker 1>her top advertisers because she said that he was whining

1:12:02.080 --> 1:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>about college h college rejections. So I guess what we

1:12:07.120 --> 1:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>take from this is that David Hogg, now if you

1:12:09.200 --> 1:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>if you criticize him in a way that's not purely political,

1:12:13.680 --> 1:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you can have your livelihood attacked and tarnished. Now, to

1:12:17.240 --> 1:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Laura's credit, she she did apologize, and I think she

1:12:21.280 --> 1:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>wrote out the following, any students should be proud of

1:12:23.400 --> 1:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>a four point to g p A, including David Hogg

1:12:26.479 --> 1:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>on reflection in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize

1:12:28.800 --> 1:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>for an upset or hurt my tweet cause him or

1:12:30.720 --> 1:12:33.680
<v Speaker 1>any of the brave victims of Parkland. And you know,

1:12:33.720 --> 1:12:36.320
<v Speaker 1>there you have it. So she apologized. But this is,

1:12:36.439 --> 1:12:39.559
<v Speaker 1>by the way, this is the response when she didn't

1:12:39.560 --> 1:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>even say anything bad. Can you imagine the first person

1:12:42.800 --> 1:12:44.639
<v Speaker 1>who really steps out of line, they're gonna go after

1:12:44.720 --> 1:12:47.680
<v Speaker 1>him with everything that they've got. And that's why they

1:12:47.760 --> 1:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>like to use victims. It's a form of seeding the

1:12:52.520 --> 1:12:55.920
<v Speaker 1>debate with with land mines for conservatives, and that's what

1:12:56.000 --> 1:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>ends up happening. So the left loves to boycott don't

1:12:59.160 --> 1:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>ever forget it. That's why your supportive sponsors on this

1:13:02.120 --> 1:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>show and others. Uh so absolutely essential. We're gonna roll

1:13:06.320 --> 1:13:07.680
<v Speaker 1>to a break, we come back. Oh, I've got more

1:13:07.720 --> 1:13:10.400
<v Speaker 1>on Roseanne. I watched it, folks, I watched it. We'll

1:13:10.439 --> 1:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>talk about it. We'll strap in and prepare for some

1:13:13.360 --> 1:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>grumpy pop culture analysis from yours. Truly. Occasionally, in this job,

1:13:20.360 --> 1:13:23.799
<v Speaker 1>it's part of my job to watch what the folks

1:13:23.840 --> 1:13:26.920
<v Speaker 1>are watching in the world of pop culture, not news.

1:13:27.000 --> 1:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I watched news all the time. Occasionally, though, I have

1:13:30.000 --> 1:13:34.280
<v Speaker 1>a real excuse to flip on one of the network channels,

1:13:34.320 --> 1:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and the reboot of Roseanne, which I mentioned to you yesterday,

1:13:39.400 --> 1:13:42.960
<v Speaker 1>is one of those opportunities. So I watched the first

1:13:43.000 --> 1:13:47.320
<v Speaker 1>two episodes of this reboot, and I have to tell

1:13:47.360 --> 1:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you there's a lot more going on then you'd gather

1:13:51.560 --> 1:13:55.599
<v Speaker 1>just from the press releases. I have to tell you

1:13:55.680 --> 1:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think it was very funny, but that doesn't matter.

1:13:59.680 --> 1:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>We can agree or disagree on that. That's completely a

1:14:02.680 --> 1:14:06.759
<v Speaker 1>function of taste. And I would also stand behind everything

1:14:06.800 --> 1:14:10.599
<v Speaker 1>I said yesterday about how if it were really the

1:14:10.640 --> 1:14:14.799
<v Speaker 1>profit motive that was driving much of the decision making

1:14:14.840 --> 1:14:21.400
<v Speaker 1>about scripted TV shows what Hollywood and the entertainment industry

1:14:21.520 --> 1:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>chooses to make. There's this enormous market called half of

1:14:25.400 --> 1:14:32.719
<v Speaker 1>America that is underserved in terms of content, and sure enough,

1:14:33.360 --> 1:14:37.599
<v Speaker 1>Roseanne comes out. It depicts a working class family and

1:14:37.640 --> 1:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>there's a Trump supporter at the center of it, all

1:14:40.120 --> 1:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Roseanne herself, and we are to believe, Oh wow, they

1:14:43.840 --> 1:14:49.000
<v Speaker 1>have broken with their usual tendency here and we got

1:14:49.000 --> 1:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a show where there's a Trump person at the center

1:14:54.080 --> 1:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>of it, and there's gonna be attention now paid to

1:14:58.080 --> 1:15:03.400
<v Speaker 1>that part of rough a half the country. I watched

1:15:03.439 --> 1:15:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the episodes though, and I gotta tell you it's basically

1:15:10.000 --> 1:15:15.559
<v Speaker 1>liberals creating a narrative where Rosanne, you know, the the

1:15:15.800 --> 1:15:18.840
<v Speaker 1>red State family, or whatever you want to call it,

1:15:18.880 --> 1:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the working class white family. There you go, that's a

1:15:21.080 --> 1:15:24.200
<v Speaker 1>better way to say it. The white working class family

1:15:25.080 --> 1:15:30.640
<v Speaker 1>is constantly, uh, having to challenge and change its assumptions

1:15:32.080 --> 1:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>about day to day life because of, oh, you guessed it,

1:15:37.920 --> 1:15:42.559
<v Speaker 1>the various progressive social issues that are at the center

1:15:42.600 --> 1:15:45.719
<v Speaker 1>of the show. Yeah, there's some arguing back and forth

1:15:45.800 --> 1:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>between an ardent Hillary supporter wearing the Nasty Woman T

1:15:51.479 --> 1:15:54.920
<v Speaker 1>shirt and hat that begins with a p I I

1:15:54.960 --> 1:15:58.519
<v Speaker 1>saw all that, But the central theme of the first

1:15:58.560 --> 1:16:03.720
<v Speaker 1>two episodes, or the central challenge, is how the how

1:16:03.880 --> 1:16:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Roseanne's household is going to deal with the fact that

1:16:06.520 --> 1:16:09.160
<v Speaker 1>they've got a nine year old who's a boy who's

1:16:09.240 --> 1:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>dressing like a girl, and that's how And it's all

1:16:13.760 --> 1:16:18.719
<v Speaker 1>built around that. And there's some other progressive things thrown

1:16:18.720 --> 1:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>in there too. You've got a woman who's in her

1:16:20.400 --> 1:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>forties who's going to be a surrogate, and you know,

1:16:23.160 --> 1:16:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the the old character played by John Goodman, you know,

1:16:27.120 --> 1:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the patriarch of the family. He's all opposed to it.

1:16:30.320 --> 1:16:32.559
<v Speaker 1>But I just look at all this and think to myself,

1:16:32.680 --> 1:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>are we really supposed to believe that this is this

1:16:36.320 --> 1:16:39.679
<v Speaker 1>is the day to day of working class white family

1:16:39.760 --> 1:16:42.880
<v Speaker 1>in Ohio, and this is the day to day of

1:16:42.920 --> 1:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a working class white family in Wisconsin. No, of course not.

1:16:49.120 --> 1:16:55.040
<v Speaker 1>It's it seems quite strange to me to build one

1:16:55.080 --> 1:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>of the central challenges of this family, at least in

1:16:58.680 --> 1:17:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the first I know, it's only the first couple of episodes.

1:17:00.960 --> 1:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I get that, but to launch right out of the

1:17:03.320 --> 1:17:05.479
<v Speaker 1>gate with, well, what do we do about our cross

1:17:05.600 --> 1:17:10.479
<v Speaker 1>dressing nine year old and wouldn't it be nice if

1:17:10.520 --> 1:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>there could be a family that had let's just say,

1:17:13.960 --> 1:17:17.599
<v Speaker 1>one Republican parent in it, and the representation of them

1:17:17.920 --> 1:17:22.040
<v Speaker 1>was quite a bit different from this. I know people

1:17:22.080 --> 1:17:25.280
<v Speaker 1>are nostalgic for Roseanne and the show and how it

1:17:25.320 --> 1:17:28.360
<v Speaker 1>dealt with American society in a kind of unvarnished way

1:17:28.400 --> 1:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>at the time. I'll also say that this show looks anachronistic.

1:17:32.560 --> 1:17:36.799
<v Speaker 1>The home that they're in. That's not what working class

1:17:38.000 --> 1:17:40.519
<v Speaker 1>homes really look like today. It's what they look like

1:17:40.600 --> 1:17:42.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty years ago. So I think that's a bit strange.

1:17:43.320 --> 1:17:45.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, in terms of the interior and everything. It

1:17:45.720 --> 1:17:49.559
<v Speaker 1>looks like they just literally turned on a show that

1:17:49.640 --> 1:17:52.880
<v Speaker 1>they had had a set from twenty years ago and

1:17:52.920 --> 1:17:56.920
<v Speaker 1>it didn't change anything, which is strange to me. Now,

1:17:56.960 --> 1:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>all they're doing, from what I can see, is adding

1:17:58.920 --> 1:18:03.040
<v Speaker 1>into it these of challenges. But is this really what

1:18:03.040 --> 1:18:07.760
<v Speaker 1>what concerns Middle America? To bring back a term you

1:18:07.760 --> 1:18:10.360
<v Speaker 1>don't hear very much anymore. What do I do if

1:18:10.360 --> 1:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>my nine year old son starts dressing like a girl

1:18:13.000 --> 1:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>because he wants to be fashionable in school. I'm not

1:18:16.280 --> 1:18:18.920
<v Speaker 1>a parent yet, but I would tell my nine year

1:18:18.960 --> 1:18:21.519
<v Speaker 1>old son that that was not what he was going

1:18:21.560 --> 1:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to do. That I'm a parent and that I know best,

1:18:24.040 --> 1:18:29.519
<v Speaker 1>and this is not going to be some childhood assault

1:18:29.560 --> 1:18:32.960
<v Speaker 1>on the patriarchy. Even more than that, though, I would

1:18:33.000 --> 1:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>just like to see a depiction of someone who's clearly

1:18:36.880 --> 1:18:40.679
<v Speaker 1>conservative on TV and not have it centered around how

1:18:41.360 --> 1:18:47.919
<v Speaker 1>they become more accepting of progressive social issues, of social

1:18:48.000 --> 1:18:52.000
<v Speaker 1>justice issues, and that's the character's growth I can already

1:18:52.000 --> 1:18:55.519
<v Speaker 1>see on this show. One of the ways this is

1:18:55.560 --> 1:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>all going to be structured is well, you know Roseanne,

1:18:59.000 --> 1:19:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's she's come over to the side of

1:19:01.800 --> 1:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of greater tolerance. You know the dad, he's he's going

1:19:04.760 --> 1:19:08.840
<v Speaker 1>to embrace diversity more and all this. I just sit

1:19:08.880 --> 1:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>there watching this and thinking to myself, where's the show

1:19:12.040 --> 1:19:18.720
<v Speaker 1>on TV where a conservative family is elevated. Where's the

1:19:18.760 --> 1:19:23.080
<v Speaker 1>show on TV where you see a white working class

1:19:23.120 --> 1:19:26.960
<v Speaker 1>family that goes to church and people. Yeah, they can

1:19:26.960 --> 1:19:29.960
<v Speaker 1>still be funny, it could be a comedy. But they're

1:19:31.400 --> 1:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>attractive as people. I don't mean just physically, but they're

1:19:34.240 --> 1:19:37.760
<v Speaker 1>attractive people. You know, they've got their lives together. We

1:19:37.840 --> 1:19:39.920
<v Speaker 1>all have our challenges, and there's plenty of humor and

1:19:40.000 --> 1:19:43.280
<v Speaker 1>day to day life. But I can't think of that show.

1:19:43.360 --> 1:19:45.320
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that comes close would be Friday Night

1:19:45.439 --> 1:19:48.559
<v Speaker 1>Lights for me, which is a show that I really loved.

1:19:49.160 --> 1:19:52.240
<v Speaker 1>But Friday Night Lights is really a show about two

1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:58.120
<v Speaker 1>East Coast liberals living in West Texas, too incredibly appealing

1:19:58.280 --> 1:20:02.479
<v Speaker 1>good looking parents who really were pulled out of like Darien,

1:20:02.640 --> 1:20:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Connecticut and plopped in West Texas and have a little

1:20:06.320 --> 1:20:08.360
<v Speaker 1>bit of a Southern accent so they can fit in more.

1:20:08.840 --> 1:20:13.599
<v Speaker 1>And that's the way that that show is constructed. Everyone

1:20:13.600 --> 1:20:16.479
<v Speaker 1>around them seems much more authentic than the parents, who

1:20:16.479 --> 1:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>are the centerpiece of the whole show up here. But

1:20:20.320 --> 1:20:24.639
<v Speaker 1>in Roseanne, I think that we are being look I

1:20:24.640 --> 1:20:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean to over politicize this, but it's clearly

1:20:27.240 --> 1:20:30.040
<v Speaker 1>a show that's gotten a lot of attention, eighteen million viewers,

1:20:30.080 --> 1:20:34.519
<v Speaker 1>it's already a topic of major political discussion. I think

1:20:34.560 --> 1:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>we're being propagandized to just in a slick way, and

1:20:38.920 --> 1:20:44.600
<v Speaker 1>it's to show the aging conservative boomer generation in particular.

1:20:44.800 --> 1:20:48.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, you'll understand more about this transgender stuff in time.

1:20:48.800 --> 1:20:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Just just accept it. Remember, acceptance comes first, well, rather first,

1:20:53.840 --> 1:20:59.880
<v Speaker 1>it's tolerance than acceptance, then celebration and then totalitarianism. So

1:21:00.000 --> 1:21:03.960
<v Speaker 1>sometimes that last step takes a while, but I am

1:21:03.960 --> 1:21:06.040
<v Speaker 1>a little distressed. This is the This is the best

1:21:06.120 --> 1:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>we can do for a show about a family that

1:21:09.120 --> 1:21:12.160
<v Speaker 1>has Trump supporting parents. I believe the dad voted for Trump.

1:21:12.200 --> 1:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm surmising that, but clearly Roseanne explicitly says she did.

1:21:17.160 --> 1:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>This is the best we can do the family. I

1:21:20.080 --> 1:21:22.360
<v Speaker 1>know the family is supposed to be dysfunctional, it's supposed

1:21:22.400 --> 1:21:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to have the problems of day to day life. Fine,

1:21:25.800 --> 1:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>but why isn't the focus on that instead of right

1:21:30.200 --> 1:21:35.880
<v Speaker 1>off the bat Automatically the challenge is plucked from the

1:21:36.640 --> 1:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>top of the list of progressive social agenda items, which

1:21:40.080 --> 1:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is transgender kids. We've got a show now on TV

1:21:44.160 --> 1:21:48.160
<v Speaker 1>with eighteen million people watching it that's supposed to represent

1:21:49.160 --> 1:21:53.320
<v Speaker 1>just normal Middle America in some way, and they're dealing

1:21:53.400 --> 1:21:56.400
<v Speaker 1>with a transgender nine year old or across a kid who's,

1:21:57.120 --> 1:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, changing his clothes to look like a woman,

1:22:00.000 --> 1:22:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and though he says he knows he's a boy. Whatever.

1:22:02.000 --> 1:22:06.439
<v Speaker 1>The point is gender identity issues as a nine year old,

1:22:07.439 --> 1:22:12.400
<v Speaker 1>which is, let's understand, actually quite rare, and the way

1:22:12.439 --> 1:22:15.559
<v Speaker 1>that it is constructed in the show, they're not going

1:22:15.600 --> 1:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to make this kid start dressing the way that he

1:22:18.640 --> 1:22:22.160
<v Speaker 1>should for his gender. The parents are gonna have to

1:22:22.200 --> 1:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>become more tolerant of it. So what you're gonna see

1:22:25.680 --> 1:22:30.400
<v Speaker 1>is the right in this context loses right, the the Trump,

1:22:30.800 --> 1:22:33.439
<v Speaker 1>the grumpy Trump conservative who sure, we'll have some funny

1:22:33.439 --> 1:22:36.840
<v Speaker 1>one liners here and there and occasionally will speak in

1:22:36.960 --> 1:22:40.240
<v Speaker 1>a salty salty tones about day to day life and

1:22:40.320 --> 1:22:43.560
<v Speaker 1>shed some some truth on a situation. But it is

1:22:43.600 --> 1:22:47.320
<v Speaker 1>going to become more accepting and more progressive over the

1:22:47.360 --> 1:22:50.639
<v Speaker 1>course of the show. I can just tell, why does

1:22:50.640 --> 1:22:54.200
<v Speaker 1>it always have to be this way, folks? Why why

1:22:54.320 --> 1:22:58.160
<v Speaker 1>do we I think at this point we just are

1:22:58.280 --> 1:23:00.880
<v Speaker 1>numbed how much propaganda that there really is in this.

1:23:01.760 --> 1:23:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Don't think for a second it's not political. Control of

1:23:04.439 --> 1:23:08.639
<v Speaker 1>the culture is the most important thing that any political

1:23:08.680 --> 1:23:13.599
<v Speaker 1>group could ever achieve, because if you can convince people

1:23:14.280 --> 1:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>about what is reality in their day to day lives,

1:23:17.600 --> 1:23:22.800
<v Speaker 1>getting the devote for your candidate, that's easy. So I'm

1:23:22.840 --> 1:23:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a fan of the Rosanne reboot. I think

1:23:26.640 --> 1:23:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you've gotten that from I talk so far. I don't

1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it. I you know, when I think

1:23:33.080 --> 1:23:35.439
<v Speaker 1>of a Trump supporting family. You can make a show about,

1:23:35.880 --> 1:23:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, how about a show about a really you

1:23:39.240 --> 1:23:42.800
<v Speaker 1>know all American dad who loves to barbecue and likes

1:23:42.840 --> 1:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>to you know, work on his car and a mom

1:23:45.080 --> 1:23:47.280
<v Speaker 1>who's like a great mom and stay at home mom.

1:23:47.479 --> 1:23:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Used to have a career maybe but decided, you know what,

1:23:49.800 --> 1:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>third wave feminism doesn't have to determine my life. And

1:23:52.840 --> 1:23:55.479
<v Speaker 1>have kids that you know, like sports and football and

1:23:55.520 --> 1:23:58.000
<v Speaker 1>like to go out and you know, maybe do some shooting,

1:23:58.040 --> 1:24:01.479
<v Speaker 1>go do some hunting on the weekends. And you know,

1:24:01.680 --> 1:24:03.640
<v Speaker 1>they go to church and they're funny and they make

1:24:03.720 --> 1:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>jokes and they have the problems that we all have

1:24:06.080 --> 1:24:09.720
<v Speaker 1>in life. But they're not you see. My My big

1:24:09.760 --> 1:24:11.679
<v Speaker 1>problem with Roseanne is I feel like there's a little

1:24:11.720 --> 1:24:16.280
<v Speaker 1>bit of laughing at this family instead of laughing with

1:24:16.320 --> 1:24:20.479
<v Speaker 1>this family. Sometimes it's subtle. I'm not saying it's that's

1:24:20.520 --> 1:24:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the case in every joke all the time, but that

1:24:24.479 --> 1:24:26.800
<v Speaker 1>you have this character who now and I did not

1:24:26.920 --> 1:24:29.400
<v Speaker 1>watch the long run the show in the past, I'm

1:24:29.400 --> 1:24:32.640
<v Speaker 1>coming into this now just on the reboot side, but

1:24:32.800 --> 1:24:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to have this character who clearly is going to be

1:24:38.479 --> 1:24:43.760
<v Speaker 1>transforming over the course of the show into someone more palatable,

1:24:43.840 --> 1:24:48.040
<v Speaker 1>more acceptable to liberals. Is just another form of getting

1:24:48.080 --> 1:24:52.400
<v Speaker 1>people to agree, agree with the left. And I always

1:24:52.400 --> 1:24:54.720
<v Speaker 1>tell people, if you want to, if you want to

1:24:54.720 --> 1:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>look at the most effective the most effective campaign for UH,

1:25:01.520 --> 1:25:06.479
<v Speaker 1>for same sex marriage that I've ever seen is the

1:25:06.560 --> 1:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>couple that is in Modern Family, one of the most

1:25:09.640 --> 1:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>beloved and well watched shows on television. UH. The same

1:25:13.360 --> 1:25:17.120
<v Speaker 1>sex couple, the gay couple that's married and adopts a

1:25:17.120 --> 1:25:20.840
<v Speaker 1>little girl on the show. That's the most effective messaging

1:25:21.120 --> 1:25:23.000
<v Speaker 1>for same sex marriage I've ever seen. And it's on

1:25:23.040 --> 1:25:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a It's on a sitcom. Don't underestimate the power of

1:25:26.680 --> 1:25:30.200
<v Speaker 1>these things. Don't underestimate the fact that the people that

1:25:30.280 --> 1:25:33.479
<v Speaker 1>are making these choices know that the choices will have

1:25:34.240 --> 1:25:38.559
<v Speaker 1>impact down the line. This isn't just about entertainment. There's more,

1:25:39.479 --> 1:25:42.680
<v Speaker 1>there's more at stake, and there's more intended. All right,

1:25:43.360 --> 1:25:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll have more on this as we go. I'll be

1:25:45.040 --> 1:25:48.760
<v Speaker 1>right back. I hope every Democrat will be asked, is

1:25:48.760 --> 1:25:51.120
<v Speaker 1>it a good idea to repeal the Second Amendment? Because

1:25:51.160 --> 1:25:53.559
<v Speaker 1>I want every Democrat to answer that question. This is

1:25:53.600 --> 1:25:56.960
<v Speaker 1>a very bad idea. I'm glad he's retired his right

1:25:57.040 --> 1:25:59.519
<v Speaker 1>to his opinion like every other American. But I'm up

1:25:59.560 --> 1:26:01.800
<v Speaker 1>here to take the Second Amendment, not repeal it. And

1:26:01.800 --> 1:26:04.519
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to hear what Nancy Pelosi says and

1:26:04.640 --> 1:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>every other liberal Democrats see if they will stand with

1:26:07.320 --> 1:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Justice Stevens or they'll stand with the Constitution. I'm dying

1:26:10.360 --> 1:26:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to know. So I'm in a generous mood today, I

1:26:12.479 --> 1:26:14.040
<v Speaker 1>guess because I'm here to tell you that I think

1:26:14.080 --> 1:26:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Lindsey Graham is spot on. You know, they want it,

1:26:18.320 --> 1:26:20.639
<v Speaker 1>then they should get it. They want to talk about

1:26:20.720 --> 1:26:23.160
<v Speaker 1>repealing the Second Amendment, Let's talk about a gun band.

1:26:23.479 --> 1:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is one of the things that Democrats

1:26:25.600 --> 1:26:28.719
<v Speaker 1>do so much better than Republicans, including in the media.

1:26:29.960 --> 1:26:31.959
<v Speaker 1>They have a lot more megaphones, a lot more platforms

1:26:32.000 --> 1:26:33.679
<v Speaker 1>to do it. So maybe that's what it's all about.

1:26:34.280 --> 1:26:39.479
<v Speaker 1>But just just keep on hammering home very blunenforced trauma

1:26:39.600 --> 1:26:42.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of questions. You know, do you want to ban guns?

1:26:43.960 --> 1:26:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to ban assault rifles? Do you want

1:26:46.280 --> 1:26:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to repeal the Second Amendment? Forget about and don't allow

1:26:50.280 --> 1:26:52.280
<v Speaker 1>them to go Well, you know, maybe if we could

1:26:52.280 --> 1:26:56.040
<v Speaker 1>think about take a vote, you know, no, do you

1:26:56.080 --> 1:26:58.760
<v Speaker 1>want that or not? Get them on the record. They

1:26:59.400 --> 1:27:01.639
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be on the record for the most part,

1:27:01.720 --> 1:27:04.160
<v Speaker 1>because they want to have it both ways. They want

1:27:04.160 --> 1:27:07.599
<v Speaker 1>to praise the Parkland kids that are out there stumping

1:27:07.600 --> 1:27:11.120
<v Speaker 1>for the Democrat Party and and just on the absolute

1:27:11.160 --> 1:27:16.880
<v Speaker 1>attack against all kinds of Republicans, but they don't want

1:27:16.880 --> 1:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to be necessarily necessarily affiliated with a specific position. They

1:27:22.880 --> 1:27:25.000
<v Speaker 1>should all be asked, do you want to ban guns?

1:27:25.520 --> 1:27:27.120
<v Speaker 1>If if you want to end gun violence. We want

1:27:27.120 --> 1:27:31.080
<v Speaker 1>to talk about how great the Parkland organization of these

1:27:31.160 --> 1:27:33.960
<v Speaker 1>kids has been so far. You know, and I say

1:27:34.000 --> 1:27:35.720
<v Speaker 1>these kids, and I'm talking about all the kids, just

1:27:35.760 --> 1:27:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the few that are now celebrities. They've become celebrities. They

1:27:39.640 --> 1:27:43.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know very much. They say really inflammatory and stupid things,

1:27:44.479 --> 1:27:49.719
<v Speaker 1>but particularly the hog kid. But why not just ask

1:27:49.800 --> 1:27:51.800
<v Speaker 1>every Democrat? I mean, I do want to hear what

1:27:51.920 --> 1:27:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Pelosi's answered the question is, and you know what

1:27:55.280 --> 1:27:56.519
<v Speaker 1>they'll try to do. Some of them will go, you

1:27:56.520 --> 1:27:59.880
<v Speaker 1>know Pelosi is responsive would be something like man had

1:28:00.040 --> 1:28:04.920
<v Speaker 1>thing and and sportsmen and no. But let them say that,

1:28:05.040 --> 1:28:08.759
<v Speaker 1>let them make fools of themselves on this. I've been

1:28:08.800 --> 1:28:11.160
<v Speaker 1>saying all along, and I love it when people get

1:28:11.160 --> 1:28:14.000
<v Speaker 1>really angry at me when Democrats get into this. But

1:28:14.120 --> 1:28:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the truth is that it's really about not liking gun

1:28:18.800 --> 1:28:21.160
<v Speaker 1>owners and all that they stand for. That's what all

1:28:21.240 --> 1:28:24.240
<v Speaker 1>this animus is about. How is Trump so tied in

1:28:24.320 --> 1:28:27.160
<v Speaker 1>with guns? Think about that for just a part of

1:28:27.320 --> 1:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>just a part of this little discussion we're having here.

1:28:30.000 --> 1:28:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Why is why is opposition to Trump at these marches

1:28:34.240 --> 1:28:39.519
<v Speaker 1>so on display. We've had guns in private hands well

1:28:39.760 --> 1:28:43.799
<v Speaker 1>for the entirety of this country's history. But Trump hasn't

1:28:43.840 --> 1:28:48.360
<v Speaker 1>loosened any gun restrictions. Trump hasn't done anything to expand

1:28:48.439 --> 1:28:53.960
<v Speaker 1>access to firearms. No. Actually, on the contrary, there may

1:28:54.000 --> 1:28:57.320
<v Speaker 1>be more legislation at least at the state level that

1:28:57.400 --> 1:29:03.320
<v Speaker 1>gets by under the Trump administration then there was under

1:29:03.320 --> 1:29:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the Obama administration. So what is what the hatred of

1:29:08.800 --> 1:29:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Trump as a where tied into all the stuff about

1:29:12.240 --> 1:29:15.320
<v Speaker 1>gun control? And it's just because, as I've said, antipathy

1:29:15.400 --> 1:29:19.400
<v Speaker 1>toward gun violence is really just a cover for antipathy

1:29:19.560 --> 1:29:23.439
<v Speaker 1>or disdain or hatred not liking people who own guns.

1:29:24.880 --> 1:29:28.559
<v Speaker 1>It's it's the other Guns are another rising force now

1:29:28.600 --> 1:29:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in American society. And you can tell you know this

1:29:31.880 --> 1:29:35.000
<v Speaker 1>from your own life. Ask somebody that you know, if

1:29:35.040 --> 1:29:38.040
<v Speaker 1>they're a gun owner, and never mind just their answer,

1:29:38.120 --> 1:29:41.240
<v Speaker 1>their response to it will tell you overwhelmingly who they

1:29:41.320 --> 1:29:45.240
<v Speaker 1>voted for. Are they pro life or pro choice? Are

1:29:45.280 --> 1:29:48.120
<v Speaker 1>they Christians who go to church on Sunday? You know,

1:29:48.240 --> 1:29:50.479
<v Speaker 1>you start to break down the numbers on this, and

1:29:50.479 --> 1:29:57.520
<v Speaker 1>you'll see there is obviously obviously a a close correlation

1:29:58.200 --> 1:30:03.680
<v Speaker 1>between conservatism in the Second Amendment. And so that's what

1:30:03.880 --> 1:30:06.320
<v Speaker 1>really motivates much of this. It's taking the moral high ground,

1:30:06.880 --> 1:30:09.080
<v Speaker 1>supposedly taking the moral high ground and being able to

1:30:09.120 --> 1:30:11.960
<v Speaker 1>call the n r A and anybody who supports them.

1:30:11.960 --> 1:30:14.120
<v Speaker 1>And oh, by the way, n r A donations the

1:30:14.160 --> 1:30:16.080
<v Speaker 1>month this just came out today, I think the month

1:30:16.120 --> 1:30:20.960
<v Speaker 1>after Parkland, RA donations were up three. I think it

1:30:21.080 --> 1:30:26.800
<v Speaker 1>was so clearly this is not going to have the

1:30:26.800 --> 1:30:29.879
<v Speaker 1>effect that many on the left think that it will.

1:30:29.920 --> 1:30:35.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, n r A donations went up dramatically. Oh,

1:30:35.760 --> 1:30:38.679
<v Speaker 1>and the Second Amendment is not going away anytime soon.

1:30:38.880 --> 1:30:41.120
<v Speaker 1>But I Lizzy Graham's right. I've started here on the

1:30:41.120 --> 1:30:44.719
<v Speaker 1>show to make him answer the question, make them answer

1:30:44.720 --> 1:30:46.679
<v Speaker 1>the question, and then ask them if they like Roseanne

1:30:46.680 --> 1:30:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and what they think about that, because you can make

1:30:48.240 --> 1:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of make all kinds of conclusions from that right,

1:30:52.320 --> 1:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>come to conclusions based on whether one supports Roseanne or

1:30:55.439 --> 1:30:57.840
<v Speaker 1>not as a reboot. And then if you really want

1:30:57.840 --> 1:30:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to know something, ask them if they think J. J.

1:30:59.320 --> 1:31:02.559
<v Speaker 1>Abrams is over rated, because the only proper answer that

1:31:02.640 --> 1:31:05.559
<v Speaker 1>question is yes. Anything other than that, Yeah, you can

1:31:05.600 --> 1:31:07.400
<v Speaker 1>give me the evil eye in the other room, that's fine.

1:31:07.479 --> 1:31:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Anything other than that unacceptable. J. J Abrams is them.

1:31:12.040 --> 1:31:17.240
<v Speaker 1>So J. J Abrams is the Bruce Springsteen of scripted television. Bam,

1:31:17.640 --> 1:31:20.280
<v Speaker 1>take that one to the bank. Quick break here, I'll

1:31:20.320 --> 1:31:22.519
<v Speaker 1>be back with more. Stay with me. So this is

1:31:22.560 --> 1:31:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a follow up to a story yesterday I was not

1:31:25.880 --> 1:31:32.920
<v Speaker 1>expecting to do, but I have to. I suppose remember

1:31:32.920 --> 1:31:36.679
<v Speaker 1>when I told you about that Planned parenthood that tweeted

1:31:36.720 --> 1:31:41.040
<v Speaker 1>out that we need a Disney princess who has, among

1:31:41.120 --> 1:31:46.479
<v Speaker 1>other things, had an abortion. And I thought, while there's

1:31:46.560 --> 1:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>really nothing that the left is unwilling to politicize, pollute,

1:31:52.320 --> 1:31:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and destroy, we can't even all just be okay with

1:31:56.439 --> 1:32:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Disneys Disney princesses anymore. Oh, we have to make that

1:32:00.960 --> 1:32:03.400
<v Speaker 1>an issue. And I know there's already political correctness concerns

1:32:03.439 --> 1:32:07.240
<v Speaker 1>around them, but you have planned parenthood from an official account,

1:32:07.240 --> 1:32:10.160
<v Speaker 1>which it deleted, but saying we need a Disney princesses

1:32:10.160 --> 1:32:14.479
<v Speaker 1>had an abortion, as though that's a positive message for

1:32:14.720 --> 1:32:17.479
<v Speaker 1>young girls and for all people. Quite honestly, I've seen

1:32:17.520 --> 1:32:20.000
<v Speaker 1>lots of Disney movies. I think Disney movies are generally

1:32:20.040 --> 1:32:24.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty great. I thought that was the end of the story.

1:32:24.560 --> 1:32:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I got a little more context for it, though, and

1:32:27.240 --> 1:32:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that is that there are memes going around that we

1:32:29.080 --> 1:32:32.000
<v Speaker 1>need a Disney princess that and people fill in all

1:32:32.000 --> 1:32:35.479
<v Speaker 1>the different blanks. We need a Disney princess that you know,

1:32:35.840 --> 1:32:39.479
<v Speaker 1>destroys the patriarchy or whatever, and planned parent who had

1:32:39.520 --> 1:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>said we need one that's had an abortion. I didn't

1:32:42.320 --> 1:32:44.080
<v Speaker 1>think there'd be much more to talk about here, but

1:32:44.280 --> 1:32:50.439
<v Speaker 1>sure enough. Jezebel, which is a I believe a radical

1:32:50.520 --> 1:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>feminist publication, but it used to be owned by or

1:32:54.160 --> 1:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe still is owned by and and is affiliated with

1:32:57.880 --> 1:33:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the same group as Gawker. Gawker dot com, which was

1:33:03.000 --> 1:33:07.560
<v Speaker 1>a disgusting cesspool of a website that operated for years

1:33:07.640 --> 1:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and was just profiting off of human misery and character assassination.

1:33:13.479 --> 1:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>And Gawker was one of the one of the worst

1:33:15.240 --> 1:33:19.479
<v Speaker 1>things on the web. But Jezebel, I think is from

1:33:19.520 --> 1:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the same group that owned Gawker. Anyway, Jezebel wrote this piece.

1:33:23.080 --> 1:33:27.120
<v Speaker 1>This was just this just went up yesterday. I can't

1:33:27.160 --> 1:33:32.120
<v Speaker 1>even parody how crazy the left really is because they

1:33:32.160 --> 1:33:35.040
<v Speaker 1>always outdo whatever I think the outer limits of their

1:33:35.040 --> 1:33:39.160
<v Speaker 1>insanity might be. And on Jezebel they had the following

1:33:39.200 --> 1:33:45.240
<v Speaker 1>piece on their website. Statistically, at least two Disney princesses

1:33:45.680 --> 1:33:51.960
<v Speaker 1>have had abortions, and then this author proceeds to go

1:33:52.000 --> 1:33:58.519
<v Speaker 1>into an analysis of how Disney princesses, which include Bell Rapunzel, Aerial,

1:33:58.640 --> 1:34:03.479
<v Speaker 1>Tiana snow White, Darella, Aurora, Marita, Pocahonas, Jasmine, and Milan,

1:34:05.479 --> 1:34:07.840
<v Speaker 1>more than two of them, at least two of them,

1:34:07.880 --> 1:34:11.559
<v Speaker 1>according to this analysis, have had an abortion, to which

1:34:11.600 --> 1:34:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I just immediately have to say, how stupid can a

1:34:16.760 --> 1:34:21.840
<v Speaker 1>person be who is paid to write about things if

1:34:21.840 --> 1:34:23.599
<v Speaker 1>we're really going to talk about this for a moment.

1:34:23.600 --> 1:34:26.920
<v Speaker 1>First of all, statistics don't work that way, right. It

1:34:26.960 --> 1:34:29.760
<v Speaker 1>would be like saying, well, you know, everyone has one

1:34:29.800 --> 1:34:34.360
<v Speaker 1>point seven children in this country, so that's that's one.

1:34:35.120 --> 1:34:39.439
<v Speaker 1>And also, statistically, all of the Disney princesses that I

1:34:39.520 --> 1:34:43.280
<v Speaker 1>mentioned there, if we're going to, uh, if we're going

1:34:43.320 --> 1:34:47.680
<v Speaker 1>to really look at this for a moment, are from

1:34:47.920 --> 1:34:53.040
<v Speaker 1>periods that were before the era of the modern abortion movement,

1:34:53.360 --> 1:34:58.920
<v Speaker 1>so they most certainly, I can guarantee you that none

1:34:58.920 --> 1:35:03.479
<v Speaker 1>of the Disney princess is have had an abortion. Um. Also,

1:35:03.560 --> 1:35:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe some of them are mere teenagers based on

1:35:07.320 --> 1:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the storylines. So why am I following up in this.

1:35:12.200 --> 1:35:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought that yesterday it would be settled that Planned Parenthood,

1:35:16.120 --> 1:35:20.000
<v Speaker 1>which is a grotesque organization, deleted the tweet. They realized

1:35:20.040 --> 1:35:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that a Disney princess had had an abortion, they would

1:35:22.160 --> 1:35:25.400
<v Speaker 1>leave it there, but the left wanted to double down

1:35:25.439 --> 1:35:27.880
<v Speaker 1>on it. And so that's how we have a piece

1:35:28.000 --> 1:35:33.320
<v Speaker 1>about how statistically at least two Disney princess as they say,

1:35:33.360 --> 1:35:38.160
<v Speaker 1>have had abortions. The effort to glorify abortion as something

1:35:38.200 --> 1:35:41.760
<v Speaker 1>to be proud of is one of the most odious.

1:35:41.800 --> 1:35:43.840
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I you could put it up there in

1:35:44.560 --> 1:35:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the same category of odiousness as anything else in modern politics.

1:35:49.600 --> 1:35:54.400
<v Speaker 1>It's as as wrong and gross and evil as any

1:35:54.520 --> 1:36:00.360
<v Speaker 1>other mainstream political conversation that is happening right um. And

1:36:00.600 --> 1:36:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I do believe that one day we will look back

1:36:02.400 --> 1:36:05.080
<v Speaker 1>on this period in our history, in this country of

1:36:05.320 --> 1:36:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the planned parenthood, pro choice, pro abortion era, and be

1:36:10.520 --> 1:36:16.320
<v Speaker 1>completely and utterly horrified. But to forestall that day, the

1:36:16.439 --> 1:36:19.559
<v Speaker 1>left is even willing to make peace, make make up

1:36:19.640 --> 1:36:24.519
<v Speaker 1>things like this. Disney princesses. Oh yeah, they've already had abortions. No, no,

1:36:24.760 --> 1:36:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they didn't. Used to. All these medieval and pre modern

1:36:29.000 --> 1:36:32.640
<v Speaker 1>societies where the Disney Princesses lived, they were lucky in

1:36:32.720 --> 1:36:36.879
<v Speaker 1>a sense because there was no procedure known as abortion,

1:36:37.560 --> 1:36:40.840
<v Speaker 1>so it did not happen. I just had to follow

1:36:40.880 --> 1:36:42.680
<v Speaker 1>off with it. All right, We're gonna turn into a

1:36:42.960 --> 1:36:45.960
<v Speaker 1>roll call segment here in a second. We'll spruce up

1:36:46.040 --> 1:36:48.080
<v Speaker 1>the hut a little bit. Right now, it's a little

1:36:48.160 --> 1:36:51.240
<v Speaker 1>dour with our topics, but we'll be right back to it.

1:36:51.320 --> 1:36:54.000
<v Speaker 1>So stay with me. It's one of these gray days

1:36:54.040 --> 1:36:56.599
<v Speaker 1>in New York City where I just feel like, can

1:36:56.680 --> 1:37:00.280
<v Speaker 1>it be a beautiful spring day? Already? It's been so old,

1:37:00.360 --> 1:37:03.719
<v Speaker 1>it's been snowy. I've had enough. I want some good weather.

1:37:04.000 --> 1:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to rock a T shirt. I want to

1:37:07.080 --> 1:37:10.719
<v Speaker 1>drink a margarita in a sidewalk cafe on the street.

1:37:12.800 --> 1:37:14.479
<v Speaker 1>One of those days, Team, you know, I don't know

1:37:15.320 --> 1:37:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to go out to Indiana tomorrow. They're gonna

1:37:17.320 --> 1:37:18.800

1:37:48.760 --> 1:37:50.439
<v Speaker 1>very rare for me, but I like to be a

1:37:50.479 --> 1:37:58.679
<v Speaker 1>crowd pleaser. So with that, you know what comes next. Hey,

1:37:59.040 --> 1:38:10.040
<v Speaker 1>team Buck, time for roll call. Al Right, first stuff,

1:38:10.600 --> 1:38:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope you like that. Oh yeah, get those dance

<v Speaker 1>feel like you're gonna be dancing alongside me and our

1:38:20.479 --> 1:38:24.360
<v Speaker 1>aerobics class, don't you. That's how it's how we do it. Uh.

1:38:24.520 --> 1:38:27.200
<v Speaker 1>First up, in roll Call, we got Michael who has

1:38:27.240 --> 1:38:32.160
<v Speaker 1>sent a photo of his beautiful yellow lab and she's beautiful,

1:38:32.200 --> 1:38:35.559
<v Speaker 1>so thank you for the photo. Steve is next up, Hey,

1:38:35.640 --> 1:38:38.400
<v Speaker 1>buck Love your show had one of my employees tell

1:38:38.479 --> 1:38:40.439
<v Speaker 1>me about your show, and I've been listening ever since.

1:38:41.080 --> 1:38:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering about all of these Netflix documentaries about

1:38:45.960 --> 1:38:48.160
<v Speaker 1>good food and such. I think it would be a

1:38:48.240 --> 1:38:52.160
<v Speaker 1>fantastic idea to have a documentary about all the corruption

1:38:52.240 --> 1:38:56.400
<v Speaker 1>with the Democrat Party about President Trump and documenting all

1:38:56.479 --> 1:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the allegations, but most of willing the truth instead of

1:39:01.240 --> 1:39:03.719
<v Speaker 1>the fake news that we are hearing every day. Getting

1:39:03.760 --> 1:39:07.080
<v Speaker 1>interviews with both right and left parties about the situation.

1:39:07.840 --> 1:39:09.400
<v Speaker 1>But I'm sure you're gonna get people on the left

1:39:09.439 --> 1:39:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that will not do an interview. I know it would

1:39:11.920 --> 1:39:13.240
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of work, but maybe you could find

1:39:13.280 --> 1:39:15.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody that could take this project and make it come

1:39:15.040 --> 1:39:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to life. It could potentially go viral and educate people

1:39:18.840 --> 1:39:22.120
<v Speaker 1>on what is truly happening in our country. Steve, it's

1:39:22.120 --> 1:39:24.320
<v Speaker 1>a great idea, and you know what I would. I

1:39:24.360 --> 1:39:26.360
<v Speaker 1>would lead it if somebody could just help me get

1:39:26.400 --> 1:39:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the funding. You know, this is the Truth Team, So

1:39:29.160 --> 1:39:32.960
<v Speaker 1>much of what is possible on the creative side, unfortunately,

1:39:33.040 --> 1:39:36.800
<v Speaker 1>and even in the creative commentary space, right, it's just

1:39:36.920 --> 1:39:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a function of money. You know. This is why I

1:39:39.479 --> 1:39:41.320
<v Speaker 1>say to you, and I'm very honest about it. Every

1:39:41.360 --> 1:39:43.439
<v Speaker 1>time I do a read on this show, or you

1:39:43.560 --> 1:39:46.719
<v Speaker 1>hear a commercial and they have the call out codes

1:39:47.000 --> 1:39:51.560
<v Speaker 1>for for buck you know, buck fifteen or whatever it is,

1:39:51.720 --> 1:39:54.760
<v Speaker 1>depending on on the sponsor, that's just a way of

1:39:54.840 --> 1:39:57.800
<v Speaker 1>showing the sponsor that the folks listening are willing to

1:39:58.560 --> 1:40:01.240
<v Speaker 1>give a shot to the product and also support what

1:40:01.360 --> 1:40:04.200
<v Speaker 1>we're doing here. And the more, you know, the more

1:40:04.280 --> 1:40:06.080
<v Speaker 1>success with that we have, the more I can do

1:40:06.600 --> 1:40:09.000
<v Speaker 1>live stream video from the Freedom Hut, the more success

1:40:09.080 --> 1:40:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I have with uh the history podcasts once we figure

1:40:12.280 --> 1:40:15.280
<v Speaker 1>out how we're gonna present them, Uh, Then the more

1:40:15.400 --> 1:40:17.599
<v Speaker 1>research and time and I could actually get a staff.

1:40:18.120 --> 1:40:22.439
<v Speaker 1>You know. That's capitalism is wonderful, but it also means

1:40:22.560 --> 1:40:26.600
<v Speaker 1>that we gotta do we gotta be working within the

1:40:27.439 --> 1:40:31.519
<v Speaker 1>reality of the finances here. So if somebody listening to

1:40:31.680 --> 1:40:33.519
<v Speaker 1>this wants to get together with me and some other

1:40:33.560 --> 1:40:35.080
<v Speaker 1>folks and come up with a way to do a

1:40:35.640 --> 1:40:39.400
<v Speaker 1>really kick butt documentary on all the anti Trump corruption

1:40:39.479 --> 1:40:43.320
<v Speaker 1>going on, you know, great, let's talk. As long as

1:40:43.360 --> 1:40:46.080
<v Speaker 1>someone can write a check for to do that kind

1:40:46.120 --> 1:40:48.439
<v Speaker 1>of documentary, I think we could do it for three

1:40:48.560 --> 1:40:51.240
<v Speaker 1>or four million. That would be my guess. Yeah, I

1:40:51.320 --> 1:40:54.519
<v Speaker 1>know right, it's expensive. That's why it's hard to do

1:40:54.680 --> 1:40:57.800
<v Speaker 1>these things alright. Next up here, we have a Mickey

1:40:58.240 --> 1:41:00.200
<v Speaker 1>who writes, I love how you call your girl friend

1:41:00.280 --> 1:41:03.280
<v Speaker 1>miss Molly. I have a granddaughter named Molly, and we

1:41:03.400 --> 1:41:06.080
<v Speaker 1>call her miss Molly, even though she is a little kid. Still,

1:41:06.439 --> 1:41:08.439
<v Speaker 1>she even has some teachers at school that have always

1:41:08.479 --> 1:41:11.720
<v Speaker 1>called her miss Molly. Well, thank you very much, Mickey. Yeah,

1:41:11.760 --> 1:41:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Molly is great, and she is a very interesting background.

1:41:15.280 --> 1:41:20.400
<v Speaker 1>She is on one side Latina and on the other

1:41:20.520 --> 1:41:24.560
<v Speaker 1>side Jewish, so her name is is a mixture of

1:41:24.680 --> 1:41:27.479
<v Speaker 1>different cultures as well. Uh. They call her Molly just

1:41:27.520 --> 1:41:30.760
<v Speaker 1>because they like it. It's actually there's no Irish in

1:41:30.840 --> 1:41:34.519
<v Speaker 1>her background whatsoever. But thank you for the shout out, Mickey.

1:41:34.520 --> 1:41:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate it, Um Sheldon. Next up here, Hey, Buck, just

1:41:39.360 --> 1:41:41.880
<v Speaker 1>heard you talking about Cardi B like you've never heard

1:41:41.920 --> 1:41:44.360
<v Speaker 1>of her until a few weeks ago, saying that you

1:41:44.400 --> 1:41:47.200
<v Speaker 1>need to check out her rent on taxes since she

1:41:47.360 --> 1:41:49.400
<v Speaker 1>is making money. Now, I think she realizes how much

1:41:49.439 --> 1:41:53.360
<v Speaker 1>money she is losing. It's funny and enlightening. Shields high Sheldon,

1:41:54.240 --> 1:41:58.680
<v Speaker 1>um buck. I think those people devices. I've not had

1:41:58.680 --> 1:42:01.160
<v Speaker 1>an issue here any podcast. He's also saying the podcast

1:42:01.280 --> 1:42:03.760
<v Speaker 1>is fine, so you can hear it. Thank you, Sheldon. Yeah.

1:42:03.880 --> 1:42:07.000
<v Speaker 1>People people feel differently about taxes once they start paying

1:42:07.120 --> 1:42:11.439
<v Speaker 1>really serious taxes. And right now I am particularly orderary

1:42:11.479 --> 1:42:13.479
<v Speaker 1>about the federal government because I'm one of those folks

1:42:13.520 --> 1:42:17.320
<v Speaker 1>who has to send in estimated taxes. It's not even

1:42:17.400 --> 1:42:19.839
<v Speaker 1>just that I have money taken out of my paycheck

1:42:19.960 --> 1:42:22.880
<v Speaker 1>every two weeks, which I do, but any side projects

1:42:22.960 --> 1:42:25.120
<v Speaker 1>that I have, some of the other things I'm involved with,

1:42:25.680 --> 1:42:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm paid as a contractor, and for those gigs I

1:42:30.080 --> 1:42:32.760
<v Speaker 1>have to send the federal government at check in advance

1:42:32.840 --> 1:42:35.880
<v Speaker 1>of tax day just because they want their money right away.

1:42:37.280 --> 1:42:40.080
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we got Dale who's written out some bullet

1:42:40.120 --> 1:42:42.360
<v Speaker 1>points here. Okay, Dale, let's get into it. Shields. I

1:42:42.840 --> 1:42:46.160
<v Speaker 1>love your radio show and the Shieldside podcast about the

1:42:46.240 --> 1:42:48.960
<v Speaker 1>outrageous Omnibus bill that the Dems and Rhinos pulled out

1:42:48.960 --> 1:42:53.479
<v Speaker 1>of their collective took uses. I was very disappointed with

1:42:53.520 --> 1:42:57.639
<v Speaker 1>President Trump for not videoing it, but I came across

1:42:57.880 --> 1:43:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a post comment that explains about ace up his sleeve

1:43:01.600 --> 1:43:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and why the omnibus is not such a bad thing.

1:43:04.800 --> 1:43:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I do not know the validity of this. I'm not

1:43:06.479 --> 1:43:07.960
<v Speaker 1>sure if you've read this yet, but I would love

1:43:08.040 --> 1:43:10.600
<v Speaker 1>to know your thoughts and opinions. Have much respect for you.

1:43:10.760 --> 1:43:13.920
<v Speaker 1>You are the next rush Please read on. Well, since

1:43:13.920 --> 1:43:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you called me the next Rushdale, there's no higher complement,

1:43:17.479 --> 1:43:20.240
<v Speaker 1>of course that I could be paid. Uh. I will

1:43:20.280 --> 1:43:22.840
<v Speaker 1>read on you right, and this is you're taking this

1:43:23.040 --> 1:43:28.559
<v Speaker 1>from John Salisbury. President Trump outsmarts congress best explanation i've seen.

1:43:29.120 --> 1:43:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about what the President canon can't do for

1:43:31.280 --> 1:43:34.120
<v Speaker 1>this omnibus bill. There's a lot of discussion both ways.

1:43:34.200 --> 1:43:36.880
<v Speaker 1>So let's examine how money gets allocated and spent in

1:43:36.920 --> 1:43:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the US government. One Congress allocates money to be spent.

1:43:41.000 --> 1:43:45.280
<v Speaker 1>The President spends the allocated money too. Once Congress allocates money,

1:43:45.360 --> 1:43:48.559
<v Speaker 1>their job is oversight of the money being spent. They

1:43:48.600 --> 1:43:50.360
<v Speaker 1>don't spend the money and have no say how it

1:43:50.439 --> 1:43:53.200
<v Speaker 1>gets spent as long as it's being spent legally. That's

1:43:53.240 --> 1:43:56.479
<v Speaker 1>their job to monitor with oversight. Three. Once the president

1:43:56.520 --> 1:43:58.200
<v Speaker 1>has given the money with the instructions to spend it.

1:43:58.280 --> 1:43:59.960
<v Speaker 1>He has a number of choices to make and spend

1:44:00.040 --> 1:44:03.559
<v Speaker 1>naked uh blah blah blah. This opens up new options.

1:44:03.600 --> 1:44:06.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna skip ahead of here is going a little long. Um.

1:44:06.800 --> 1:44:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Despite their language and the omnibus bill about the border wall,

1:44:09.360 --> 1:44:12.360
<v Speaker 1>it is Trump by the state of emergency that Trump declared. Okay,

1:44:12.439 --> 1:44:14.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what this is about the state of emergency and

1:44:14.680 --> 1:44:17.240
<v Speaker 1>national security side. Look, I think that there's probably a

1:44:17.280 --> 1:44:20.120
<v Speaker 1>way that Trump could do that. Just understand that it

1:44:20.160 --> 1:44:23.120
<v Speaker 1>would immediately be challenged in federal court. And I think

1:44:23.200 --> 1:44:26.439
<v Speaker 1>that a federal court, because of the politics involved, would

1:44:26.439 --> 1:44:31.400
<v Speaker 1>immediately put a stay on any Trump effort to use

1:44:31.479 --> 1:44:34.840
<v Speaker 1>military funds and declare an emergency to do that. So

1:44:35.920 --> 1:44:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what I think about that. Um. Next up we

1:44:40.360 --> 1:44:45.000
<v Speaker 1>have Mike, who writes, oh hey, Buck, good morning from Iowa.

1:44:45.120 --> 1:44:47.479
<v Speaker 1>I see your a state guy. You have to try

1:44:47.600 --> 1:44:51.599
<v Speaker 1>this style of reverse seer to take your state game

1:44:51.680 --> 1:44:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to the next level. Well, Mike, UM, I am not

1:44:55.040 --> 1:44:58.000
<v Speaker 1>familiar with the reverse seers, so I will read your

1:44:58.160 --> 1:45:03.000
<v Speaker 1>your note here and it will give it a shot. Katie.

1:45:03.240 --> 1:45:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Next up here, Buck, I was so excited to hear

1:45:06.280 --> 1:45:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a shout out to miss my favorite game. Ever, you

1:45:09.240 --> 1:45:11.479
<v Speaker 1>should hold up and binge on the whole series over

1:45:11.560 --> 1:45:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a long weekend now that you're older and wiser. Truth

1:45:14.479 --> 1:45:16.920
<v Speaker 1>be told, I still haven't played Revelation because I don't

1:45:16.960 --> 1:45:19.960
<v Speaker 1>want it to end. I love your show, especially hearing

1:45:20.080 --> 1:45:22.719
<v Speaker 1>references to pop culture and bumper music from someone around

1:45:22.800 --> 1:45:25.760
<v Speaker 1>my age. I'm a rush baby, and I'm thankful that

1:45:25.800 --> 1:45:28.560
<v Speaker 1>you represent a younger generation with as much accuracy and

1:45:28.640 --> 1:45:31.000
<v Speaker 1>wisdom as Limball. Keep up the good work, Katie. Well,

1:45:31.040 --> 1:45:33.640
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much, Katie, very very kind of you,

1:45:33.680 --> 1:45:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and I'm certainly doing what I can here. Next up

1:45:37.320 --> 1:45:41.000
<v Speaker 1>we have Tim who writes at the top okay for

1:45:41.200 --> 1:45:44.960
<v Speaker 1>roll Call. Well, thank you Tim for the permission. Another

1:45:45.000 --> 1:45:48.640
<v Speaker 1>awesome show. Bro. Personally, I'm just short of Oss. I

1:45:48.720 --> 1:45:51.680
<v Speaker 1>began following you in the Blaze days. Well that was

1:45:51.720 --> 1:45:53.599
<v Speaker 1>when I was Oss. Tim. I think you're on board.

1:45:53.880 --> 1:45:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I have a challenge for Hollywood. Here goes. Create a

1:45:56.920 --> 1:45:59.679
<v Speaker 1>new TV series similar to The West Wing, where there

1:45:59.720 --> 1:46:02.080
<v Speaker 1>the le can have their Madam President, where they act

1:46:02.120 --> 1:46:04.880
<v Speaker 1>out alternate and creative ways of dealing with current events.

1:46:05.640 --> 1:46:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Have them make the case why America would want a

1:46:07.680 --> 1:46:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Democrat in the office. But if the right plays it smart,

1:46:11.680 --> 1:46:13.880
<v Speaker 1>they could create a conservative version of the West Wing

1:46:14.280 --> 1:46:19.479
<v Speaker 1>with a president pushing family values, Christian fundamentals, uh morals, values,

1:46:19.560 --> 1:46:23.599
<v Speaker 1>and a true constitutional republic and where the good guys

1:46:23.720 --> 1:46:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Americans always win. What do you think that? Tim? Sounds great?

1:46:28.240 --> 1:46:31.040
<v Speaker 1>But Hollywood's gonna block it because they're a bunch of libs.

1:46:31.880 --> 1:46:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna leave it there for today. Thank you so

1:46:34.439 --> 1:46:36.720
<v Speaker 1>much for being here with me. Tomorrow I'll be broadcasting

1:46:37.880 --> 1:46:41.519
