1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom Hudge. The resistance thinks they

2
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: have achieved victory over Trump, but my friends, they celebrate

3
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: far too early. This president will fight through, push through,

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: and come out victorious. On the other side, we'll talk

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: about that, plus what's going on in Sweden. A party

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: on the far right is gaining a lot of ground.

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: Here's a hint immigration And also speaking of immigration, how

8
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: has the left handled the Molly Tibbots case. We'll get

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: into that a much more coming up on The Buck

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: mission or mission is to decode what really matters with

12
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence. Mag Noor mistake America, You're great American Again.

13
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show begins on the Analys No. Welcome

14
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: to the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody. Great to have

15
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: you here with me as always. You know what I'm

16
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm here to be a little ray of sunshine today, folks.

17
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: I know it's a tough one out there and Trump

18
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: supporter land for some of you list, I think a

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: lot of you are like, you know what, Buck, No,

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: it's not it's fine, It's gonna be fine. They got

21
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: they got nothing. They still got nothing. There's still no collusion.

22
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: But we sit here and we understand that one. I mean,

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: the left has completely lost their minds. The Democrat Party,

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: because it has no scruples, has a tremendous amount of

25
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: area to maneuver. Right, can do anything it wants to do,

26
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: can find any number of different ways to come at

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: the president. Ohmment, he's crazy. Oh, he's a racist. We

28
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: have to get rid of him because of you know, racism,

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: always a Russian stooge. Oh now it's obstruction. Oh I'm sorry. Actually,

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: now it's campaign finance. Finally, they just come at him

31
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: with new charges all the time, charge after charge after charge.

32
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: As I keep telling you, what is more probable that

33
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: there are people who refuse to accept that he is

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: the president, that he defeated Hillary Clinton in a free

35
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: and fair election because they have lost power and prestige

36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: and even a sense of self as a result of

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: Hillary's loss, Or that Trump just has broken all of

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: these different laws. Never any proof of any of it, though,

39
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: But he's broken all these different laws, and they're just

40
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: hot on his trail and they're figuring it out. I

41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: think we all know the answer to this. UM. I

42
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: think that this is a moment in time that is

43
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: testing us because we understand that the other side will

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: stop at nothing, they will do anything that they can,

45
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: and they are celebrating this. There's no small part of

46
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: me that feels disdain for those who want to celebrate

47
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: the downfall of a presidency which has not happened. My

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: rents and I believe in my heart of hearts absolutely

49
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: will not happen. But that folks would want to celebrate

50
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: that at a time when actually the country is doing

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: so very well tells you all you need to know

52
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: about them. And the same Democrats that want Trump to

53
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: get impeached, to get removed from office, to or even

54
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: to get criminally prosecutor the ones that you know, we're

55
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: happy to root against our soldiers and their safety in

56
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: the Iraq War, remember the Pelosi era and the House

57
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Representatives two thousand and six, two thousand sevent eight. Oh yeah,

58
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: that's right. There were Democrats who are hoping we were

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: going to be even more bloodied in Iraq than we

60
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: were because it would it would be hard for Bush.

61
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: That's right, that was what the mindset was, and I

62
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: saw it. I remember I was in the c I

63
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: as a rock office, and I was briefing people going

64
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: down to Capitol Hill, meeting with the top policymakers, meeting

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: with the president. And I remember what the Democrats were

66
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: like that. Now that mentality has just shifted. Instead of

67
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Bush is a war criminal, it's Trump is a can

68
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: paying finance criminal. Is that even? Is that even a thing?

69
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: The dirsh waited on this one. We also interviewed him

70
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: on my show Rising This Morning, Play four teen. Some

71
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: stations are already playing the funeral music for President Trump.

72
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: But this is much more complicated and much more nuanced.

73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: First of all, the crime itself is very very vague.

74
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: They try to put Edwards, the former presidential candidate, on trial,

75
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: and of course they got an acquittal. But second, it

76
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: really require depends completely on the credibility of Cone. And remember,

77
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: as Judge Ellis said, when they squeeze people like Metaphor

78
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: or Cohen, uh, they squeeze them not only to sing,

79
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: but sometimes to compose. And it's very easy to embellish

80
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: a story. This is the beginning of a story that

81
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: will unravel over time, but it's not nearly as deadly

82
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: lethal as some have portrayed as being. Now you mentioned

83
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: John Edwards, John Edwards for those who may have forgotten.

84
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: Was a particularly only a genius politician, He was a

85
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: He was a slimy fellow. Was known to conjure, and

86
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: I mean that in the in the sort of older

87
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: sense of the term, to to bring up to be

88
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: a conjurer of the voices of dead children for the

89
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: purposes of swaying juries. To give very large verdicts to

90
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: people who were plaintiffs suing hospitals and or doctors. That

91
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: was how John Edwards made his money. Yeah, and I

92
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: mean he actually this was on court record. I claimed

93
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: to speak for a dead child. The dead child was

94
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: speaking through him. That was who John Edwards was. Vice

95
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: presidential candidate folks for the Democratic Party at different times.

96
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: I mean I think he won a number of primaries

97
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: at different times. Was number two in the UH in

98
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: the running for the Democrat presidential nomination. And he had

99
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: a love child with is that is that the property

100
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: whatever the term is. He had a child out of

101
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: wedlock with a real hunter who had been his videographer.

102
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: He had hired her after made He were in a

103
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: bar where I meet all my videographers, and they had

104
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: an affair and his wife was dying of from cancer

105
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: at the time, and some of his when he was

106
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: running for office. When Edwards was running for office, some

107
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: of his supporters arranged for I think a million dollars

108
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: or so to take care of his mistress and the child,

109
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: to pay for their upkeep and everything else, and to

110
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: keep this quiet. So they brought charges against him. Charges

111
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: were brought against John Edwards for that, and there was

112
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: no conviction of John Edwards. So I just want to know,

113
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: get given that that was the outcome there, why why

114
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: would the outcome here with a a much lesser issue,

115
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: with much less clarity as to Trump's involvement or whether

116
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Trump really knew and at what point he knew. I

117
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: know he said earlier today and interview the Fox he

118
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: only knew things later on. Why would we think that

119
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: this would then? If that was not criminal? My friends,

120
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: how could anyone really think that this would be criminal?

121
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: With Trump? It's as though we've we we have. I'll

122
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: be talking about running the experiment in the economy later,

123
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: but we've run the experiment from a criminal justice standpoint

124
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: on this, and everything for Trump was should be, should

125
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: be fine, and I believe he he will be um

126
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: this is interesting, But the one more noting from our

127
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: friend Andie McCarthy on Cohen's role on all this play fifteen.

128
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: These guys got on the government's cross hairs because of

129
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: their connections to first candidate and now President Trump. I

130
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: don't think there's any question about that. But I do

131
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: think that the Cohen case ended up in the Southern

132
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: District because Mueller didn't see him Cohen as somebody who

133
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: was going to advance his Russia investigation, and the Southern

134
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: District had a different line of interest in Colin. I

135
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: don't think they regard him as a witness. I think

136
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: for precisely the reason you've pointed out. You know, he's

137
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: made statements that are all over the map. They did

138
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: elicit that from him today when he gave his allocution

139
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: at his guilty plea. But I think if they regarded

140
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: him as a valuable witness or a cooperator, you'd see

141
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: a very different kind of plea agreement. Yeah, that's right.

142
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: I don't think Cohen's got anything. Folks, his lawyers trying

143
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: to make it seem like he does, trying to get

144
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: a better deal, trying to get a little sympathy for him.

145
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Cohen's got any goods because there's no

146
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: goods to be had. One more thing, I'm more taught

147
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: with this more and I gotta get to the Supreme

148
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: Court and how they're not trying to make this effect.

149
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court and the Democrats are utterly shameless. As

150
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: you know. Trump is um is a movement. One thing

151
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,479
Speaker 1: that I have to remark on excited it's it's fascinating

152
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: to me is that the Left seems to think if

153
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: they were able to impeach and maybe even remove this president,

154
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: that they would stop everything that he stood for. When

155
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: I think that in many ways they have no idea

156
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: what they will have unleashed on themselves politically speaking, if

157
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: they stop this president through a legal weaponization, through this

158
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: which hunt process, because trump Ism will continue on even

159
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: beyond Trump, whether it's six years or six months from now,

160
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: if he were to step down, We've got a lot

161
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: more show coming. Eight four to five, eight four buck

162
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: stay with me. The Judiciary Committee should postpone Judge Kavanaugh's

163
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: hearings at this moment in our nation's history. The Senate

164
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: should not confirm a man to the bench who believes

165
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: that presidents are virtually beyond accountability, even in criminal cases.

166
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: The doubts about Judge Kavanaugh's fitness for the bench were

167
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: just magnified by Mr Cohen's plea agreement. The prospect of

168
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: the president being implicated in some criminal case is no

169
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: longer a hypothetical that can be dismissed. It's very real.

170
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: Oh what a surprise. Now the Supreme Court is also

171
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: going to be they think at one of the political

172
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: spoils that they can count on here, Chuck Schumer immediately

173
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: jumping onto this one. Uh, the idea that they would

174
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: delay the they would delay the confirmation hearing of Kavanaugh

175
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: is is so classic, isn't it. By the way, that

176
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: they're not going to win the sett anyway, So what's

177
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: this going to be. What they're really saying, though, is

178
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: that Trump is not the president, you see. That's what

179
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: they're tapping into here. That's where they get this idea

180
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: that they can get away with saying things like, well,

181
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: it's you know, the Supreme Court would be illegitimate. In fact,

182
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: that's what some Democrats are saying. There is a line

183
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: out there now that essentially says the Supreme Court would

184
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: be an illegitimate institution if Kavanaugh was put on it

185
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: by Trump. Krugman. I think the New York Times takes

186
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: this line because essentially Trump is not no longer really

187
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: the president, not my president. Has turned it into no, no,

188
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: not my president. They think this is this is real,

189
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: and this is what brings you back to folks. This

190
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: is all political. It is all political, okay. They it's

191
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: not that Trump has is the worst person ever who's

192
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: done all these terrible things and all this other stuff. No,

193
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: that's not what's happened. I know you know this, but

194
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: we we have to remind ourselves of it. They have

195
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: done everything that they can to weaponize the Department of Justice,

196
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: weaponized federal prosecutors against the administration and the terror I mean,

197
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: the part of this that just drives me insane is

198
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: that the administration, the Trump administration, should have stopped this

199
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: in the very beginning. Never should have had a Jeff

200
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: Sessions recused himself, you know, just it never should have

201
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: been allowed to happen. It was a huge mistake. Those

202
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: of you who have been listening to the show for

203
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: a long time now. I was opposed to the appointment

204
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: of a special counsel the whole time from day one,

205
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: and said there's a bad idea it's a bad idea

206
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: because I knew this is exactly what would happen. The

207
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: Special Counsel would be created to look into Russia collusion

208
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: and deal with the threat to our democracy, and then

209
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: it would just be subpoena this, subpoena that, bring this person,

210
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: and bring that person, and charge this one with lying,

211
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: charge that one with tax raw and charge that one

212
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: with you know, obstruction, whatever it is. It would just

213
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: become a vessel for the Democrats to get vengeance via

214
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: the legal system, and in doing so. I mean, these

215
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: are the people that have been lecture ring us about

216
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: institutions and about they're the ones. How can you take

217
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: seriously that Democrats have not politicized in ways that I

218
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: don't even know if we'll ever be able to repair

219
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: the federal justice system. I mean, this is we saw this, folks.

220
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: We saw this with the way that the I R.

221
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: S was used to go after conservative groups, and everyone said, oh, well,

222
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it was just a little just a

223
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: little mistake, just a little whoopsie. No, it was much

224
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: worse than that. There's no accountability there whatsoever. But they

225
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: weaponize this state against citizens that generally speaking, I have

226
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: problems with the state and here with this with the

227
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: Supreme Court fight. You know, you can see that there,

228
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: this is all it means to an end all these

229
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: all these different prosecutions, they're bringing all these cases, everything

230
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: that they're doing. They say it's about Russia collusion. They

231
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: say it's about finding some you know, formulation that will

232
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: allow them to, uh, you know, to to go in

233
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: front of the American people and say, well, you know,

234
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: we've investigated the Russia collusion with Trump and this is

235
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: what we found. They're just looking to get stuff like this.

236
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: They're trying to get Cohen on his taxi licenses or

237
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: his taxes or is whatever, and flip people and flip people,

238
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, do I think that Trump made

239
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: a mistake by having some of these people around. I'm

240
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: sure you know. Do I think that when Scaramucci met

241
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: me in the green room at Fox News way before

242
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: Trump took office, he should have been like, hey, you

243
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: you're really smart and very ethical. I should actually make

244
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: you like Deputy White House Press secretary. Yeah, they probably

245
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: should have done something like that. I'm just saying I'm

246
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: not gonna be shy about it. I said, hey, mooch,

247
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: how can I help Mooch. Mooch didn't want my help,

248
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: so Mooch lasted five days, seven days or whatever it was.

249
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: Boch could have used my help. Uh, but you know

250
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: that they brought in that he brought in some very

251
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: bad people, There's no question about it. And he had

252
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: coming around and well before the campaign. But you know, people,

253
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: I get it. People. They have an affinity for an individual,

254
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, you think you can trust

255
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: somebody until you can't. But this whole thing about the

256
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, this is laughable. What what constitutional basis is? Well,

257
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: we have some guy who's a convicted felon and a

258
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: and on the record a liar who says that the

259
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: president told them to do something illegal. So now he

260
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: does is he not the president anymore? No, No, that's

261
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: not how this works. You don't get to use an

262
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: allegation to uh, to take back a Supreme Court pick. Ultimately,

263
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: these people are really they're they're also worried about Roe v. Wade.

264
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: You know, Oh my gosh, what would what would we

265
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: do in a world where women just have to actually

266
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: have their babies? How will how would democrats face such

267
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: a daunting and horrific future? That's what keeps them up

268
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: at night that everybody that that babies get to live.

269
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the Democratic Party. It's really sick.

270
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: It is they got they've very deep rooted problems, and

271
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: they've they've turned this anger on Trump. You know, there's

272
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: no effort whatsoever to convince the American people that Democrats

273
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: have any good ideas. Every time they try to talk

274
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: about an idea, they sound like a bunch of idiots. Oh,

275
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Kasio Cortez, free school, free this, free that. You know

276
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna do more. You're gonna do more for minorities.

277
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: Do what, Well nothing, We're just we're gonna do more

278
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: for them. Well, well, what does that even mean? Stop

279
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: asking so many questions. You must be racist. This is

280
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: the entire opposition effort. This is what the Democratic Party's

281
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: turned into, a bunch of little bureaucrat tyrants. They use

282
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: the and I know it's yes, Look, guys, I agree,

283
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: it's a problem that you have Trump in power. But

284
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: then again, look at what happens even though he's in power.

285
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: You know, he's got people in the Department of Justice

286
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: that I eat him and he can't get rid of them.

287
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: And if you did get rid of them, people would

288
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: mutiny and they would freak out. You have these deep

289
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: state elements. These leave behind most of the mostly from

290
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, but silom have been around for decades.

291
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: They hate Trump. He can't get rid of them. And

292
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: every time he tries to exert his constitutional executive authority,

293
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: you've got people up. Whether it's a some random federal

294
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: judge or somebody else. You know, they come out and

295
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: try to stop him and take away his constitutionally granted authority.

296
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: Even though the whole thing is just a mess. And

297
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: I know that right now it's tough for some people

298
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: to stand beside the president. But look, it's for me.

299
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: It's not really about Trump. It's about the agenda. It

300
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: is not about the man. I don't really care about

301
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: the man. He is there to serve a purpose. He

302
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: is in a role. He has powers for a reason

303
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: as long as he is using those powers. Two ends

304
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: that I agree with, and also, by the way, think

305
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: are beneficial to all of us, are in the long run,

306
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: going to promote uh wealth and I mean for all

307
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: of us as in the sense of prosperity and and

308
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: it better outcomes for the American people that will greater,

309
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: have greater respect for our freedom and our liberty and

310
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 1: our individual dignity and rights. I'm supportive of it. All

311
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: this other stuff, you know, the stuff Stormy Daniels and

312
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Avanadi and the media, that's the whole thing is just

313
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: such a circus. It's such a circus. And it's because

314
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: the Democrats offer up nothing in response. We've we've seen now,

315
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: we've had that if we've run the experiment, folks, We've

316
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: run the experiment, and Trump is better at the economy

317
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: than Obama was. That's what's going on. We've run the

318
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: experiment and Trump understands business better than the leaders of

319
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. That's it. They can they can say

320
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: they want to fight against as they can say that

321
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's oh it's the Obama economy, that's all noise.

322
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Oh and that we shouldn't have Trump appointed Supreme Court

323
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: just says why this is ridiculous. But you know, I worry.

324
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: I think Jeff Flake is still on safari. I mean,

325
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: I'm seeing being serious, I think he's on safari. He was,

326
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: and people like, is he coming back meaning in time

327
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: to vote? No one really knows. I think Brussour is

328
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: a disgrace. I suspect I'll be taking it away very quickly.

329
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: I think that Brussour is a disgrace with his wife Nelly,

330
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: for him to be in the Justice departments and to

331
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: be doing what he did, that is a disgrace. That

332
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: is disqualifying for Mueller. And Mr Mueller has a lot

333
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: of conflicts also directly yourself. So you know that Mr

334
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: Mueller is highly conflicted. In fact, Tomy is like his

335
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: best friend. I could go into conflict after conflict, but

336
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: sadly Mr Mueller is conflicted. But let him write his report.

337
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: We did nothing, there's no collusion. But if he was

338
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: doing an honest report, he'd write it on the other side,

339
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: because when you look at criminality and you look at problems,

340
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: take a look at what they did, including colluding with

341
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: the Russians. The other side, what was Bruce Or doing right?

342
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: You remember Bruce Or was I think number four the

343
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: Department of Justice and very much involved in the dossier,

344
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: Russia collusion and all that stuff. His name is popped

345
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: up a bunch. You remember his wife, Nellie Or was

346
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: actually an employee of Fusion GPS, which paid for and

347
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: then manufactured uh the dossier sent helped pay and send

348
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: it around. Right, all this stuff going on, So the

349
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: big question is what was Bruce or doing And it

350
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: is the one that our next guest addresses in her

351
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: latest column. Kim Strassol is with us now. She's on

352
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal at a chorial board. She's a

353
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: columnist also the author of The Intimidation Game. Kim. Great

354
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: to have you on. Thank you so much for joining. Uh,

355
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: I just want to pose your question to you. So,

356
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: what the heck was Bruce doing? Hi? Hi, Buck, thanks

357
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: for having me on. Well, look here's you know what

358
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: he's doing. He was funneling information from Christopher Steele, the

359
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: obviously the author of the infamous dossier from Christopher Steele

360
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: to the FBI. And the reason that this matters is

361
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: that the FBI had already terminated Christopher Steele as a

362
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: confidential human source. He had broken all of the FBI's

363
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: rules by talking to the press, and so they said,

364
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 1: we can no longer work with you. And yet we

365
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: now find that months after that happened, Bruce or the

366
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: senior Member of the Judiciary, is act or at the

367
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,719
Speaker 1: Justice Department, is acting as an intermediary and and sending

368
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: information from Christopher Steele to the FBI. And he's doing

369
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: that even though his wife works for the same organization

370
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: that Christopher Steele does. He obviously has a huge conflict

371
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: of interest. He does not disclose this, at least not

372
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: in his financial forms and as so far as we know,

373
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: not to his superiors. Um and so that's an issue

374
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: as well too. Now this would seem to me to

375
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: be a case of kim ra We would already have

376
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: a lot of answers here. Why haven't Why have we

377
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: heard more about this guy? I mean the conflict of

378
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: interest just in that his his wife was Look, I

379
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: think we can all assume that he was talking to

380
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: his wife a lot, right, they lived together, uh, and

381
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: she she helped bring this information to him. How can

382
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: the FBI justify any this or do we just not

383
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: know what the FBI really says about it? Well, they

384
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: haven't even tried to justify it, and I think because

385
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: it's unjustifiable. And this is an important point I tried

386
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: to make in the columns. It up until now, the

387
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: FBI has continued to insist it did nothing wrong during

388
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: despite you know, everything that we know about what they

389
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: did do about using the dossier, not telling the court

390
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: entirely about the dossier running informants into a presidential campaign.

391
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: I mean, these are things that I think should be

392
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: very troubling to anyone, no matter what side of the

393
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: aisle you're on. But throughout that they have insisted did

394
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. This clearly is problematic, um, not just in

395
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: terms of what Mr or himself did and the fact

396
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: that he didn't disclose it, um, but that the FBI

397
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: chose to use him because again, remember that this informant

398
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: program or source program that they had that Mr. Steele

399
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: was part of, that they were using. It's not some

400
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: willy nilly thing. It's got rules, guidelines, his entire manual gathering,

401
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: you know, governing who can be an informant to and

402
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: a source for the FBI, and what they need to

403
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: do to maintain that status, and what the agents handling

404
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: them need to do. Um. And this was all disregarded,

405
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: and the FBI went back to Bruce or uh And

406
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: and continued to obtain information from a source that they

407
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: had terminated for violating their own rules. What would happen here?

408
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: What has to happen, Kim for there to be accountability

409
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: for how this was handled? The dj N FBI side.

410
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: I mean I put myself in this category. I think

411
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: a lot of folks feel like, well, you know this

412
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: just this is drags on, a dry bags on, and

413
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: you know, yes, okay, Struck was Struck was fired, McCabe

414
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: was fired. I mean, some people have clearly have been fired.

415
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: Are we ever going to get a comprehensive report on

416
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: just what they did? I mean, the president's in power,

417
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: he should be able to direct the executive branch to

418
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: produce the necessary documents, give us the information. Is it

419
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: a function of waiting for the Mueller probe to end?

420
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, essentially, is the are the President's hands tied

421
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: to try to get to the truth here and let

422
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: the American people know what happened, because anything that he

423
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: does is going to be called meddling in the ongoing

424
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: Muller probe. What do you make of all that? Well,

425
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: I think we can feel pretty confident that we are

426
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: never going to get an internal house cleaning and a

427
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: report on an admission of a problem from within d

428
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: O J or FBI. That is really, to me very

429
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: disappointing that you do have two new leaders there, Rod

430
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: Rosenstein at the Department of Justice and Christopher Ray. Neither

431
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: of them have shown an inkling of interest in saying, look,

432
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: there was a problem here, we are looking into it.

433
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: This is why so and so was fired, this is

434
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: why so and so was moved out of their position.

435
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: Because remember, nearly every part of that Comy inner circle

436
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: has now either been fired or removed from their jobs

437
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: or retired. Um. That is to me an admission that

438
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: there was clearly a big problem and that internally they

439
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: recognized it, but they have not come clean to the public.

440
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: So the question then, I mean, we at the editorial

441
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: page of the Wall Street Journal have been advocating every

442
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:30,239
Speaker 1: chance we have that the President uh declassify many of

443
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: these documents. It doesn't have to be a lot. There's

444
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 1: a discreete a number of them. We even went out

445
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: and said, here are the ones that would provide the

446
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: most information to the American public. Um and at least

447
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: to get that out there. And then, because I think

448
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: the only other avenue we really have will be to

449
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: wait for the Inspector General's report, but that could be

450
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: at least another year in coming. Kim, I've got a

451
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,239
Speaker 1: theory I want to test out on you. Everybody we're

452
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: speaking of, Kim Strasso, obviously of the Wall Street Journal.

453
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: Her pieces what was Bruce or doing? She tries to

454
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: answer it, but the the short version is wasn't good.

455
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 1: Uh So, so you should definitely all check that out.

456
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: But Kim, here's my theory, because people have asked me this,

457
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: they say, how is it that you have some of

458
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: these individuals at FBI d o J who seemed like

459
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: and I'm not talking about the ones that have already

460
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: been fired or under suspicion, but yeah, I mean, you know,

461
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: you mentioned Christopher Ray for example, FBI director. How is

462
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: it that these guys are also in on it? And

463
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: I try to explain it to people this way. I

464
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: think that if we really knew what happened at the

465
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: top reaches of the d o J and the FBI,

466
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if we really knew without you know, the

467
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: games and the redactions, if the American people found out

468
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: the truth, they would have a very hard time thinking

469
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: of the FBI the d o J in the same way.

470
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: And so even for those who are not necessarily anti

471
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: Trump or you know, they weren't Hillary cronies, but people

472
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: that are institutionalists that have spent a lot of time

473
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: in those decades in many cases in those organizations, they

474
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: feel like they have a duty to the greater good

475
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: to protect those institutions from the you know, the the

476
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: I or any the the distrust for generations of the

477
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: American people. What do you think about that? I think

478
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: you've nailed it. This has long been my argument too,

479
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: that these folks are institutionalist, and I think part of

480
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: it is what you describe, that they feel the need

481
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: to protect the department or agency that they work for,

482
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: UH to the extent that they are willing to overlook

483
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: and even justify things that if they were on the

484
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: outside they would not. I think too. It's also a

485
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: bit of an I use this word carefully, but but

486
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: craven nous and that you and I both know if

487
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: you work in an institution, you were surrounded by people

488
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: on all sides that are saying, no, what we did

489
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: was okay, it was okay, it was okay. It's very

490
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: hard to break from that pack to go and basically

491
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: infuriate everybody who works for you and works with you

492
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: and around you. And so I just don't think you

493
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: have the test of leadership there. And remember neither Rod

494
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: rosensty nor Christopher Ray were necessarily chosen for those reasons.

495
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: If you look at the rest of the Bush Bush

496
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: the Trump cabinet um, they were chosen as reformers, people

497
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: who were going to come out inside and really shake

498
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: things up. But Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Ray both came

499
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: in under somewhat of a hurried and dress a process

500
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: um where they weren't necessarily vetted because they were going

501
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: to clean house. They were vetted as a safe choice

502
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: that would be easily confirmable by the Senate in the

503
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: middle of that entire rush that surrounded the whole supposed

504
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: Russia scandal. Kim, just before we let you go here,

505
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: what do you think Mueller's motivation is? I know, I'm

506
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of asking you to look into a man's mind.

507
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: You know nobody can do that. But do do you

508
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: think do you think he's a partisan along the lines

509
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: of some of these others that clearly I mean, anyone

510
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: who tells me that stalker McCabe that they aren't partisans

511
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: they didn't use their office, I just can't take that

512
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: argument seriously anymore. Do you think Mueller just views it

513
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: as he has to almost mechanically go through literally every

514
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: nook and cranny of the investigation. Just go through everything

515
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: he can, because that's the only way the American people

516
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: will have faith and assistant. Or do you think he's

517
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,239
Speaker 1: actually he's anti Trump? I mean, do you think this

518
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: is this is a witch hunt. He knows it, and

519
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: he's down for that. I think he's something almost as

520
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: concerning as a partisan. He's a lawyer and you know,

521
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: a prosecutor. And look, this is one of the problems

522
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: with special counsels is nobody wants to go in and

523
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: spend two years of their life and say I didn't

524
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: get anything in the end, right And and this is

525
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: always the issue with a special counsel is that they

526
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: do not feel as though they have done their duty

527
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: or their job unless they come out of it having

528
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: bagged someone, someone big, preferably because the field that that

529
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: was their mission. Um And and we've seen that again

530
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: and again and again and so far, Mr Muller has

531
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: done a pretty decent job of unraveling UH what clearly

532
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: was an effort by Russians to engage in some small

533
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: time disrupt and UH and chaos sewing here in the

534
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,239
Speaker 1: United States. He's trolling on social media, et cetera, and

535
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: so on. It's great that he did that, but I

536
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: don't think he necessarily ever viewed that really as his job.

537
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: I think it's a noble job that he'd done that,

538
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: but remember he was more specifically tasked with looking into

539
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: Mr Trump, and and having come up completely short on

540
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: that front in terms of collusion and obstruction of justice,

541
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: it seems he's just not willing to let it go.

542
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: Kim Strass of everybody of the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board,

543
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: the one and only, Kim, thank you so much for

544
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: make the time always great to have you stopped by

545
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. Thank you. Could I just take one

546
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to remind everyone that Michael Cohn has suffered a

547
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: tragic and difficult experience for his family. He's without resources,

548
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: and we've set up a website called Michael Cohen truth

549
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: dot Com that we're hoping that he will get some

550
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: help from the American people so he can continue to

551
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: tell the truth. The audience isn't They don't know if

552
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: you're ready to donate landing, but we did check before

553
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: we went to air. It's got seventy dollars in it

554
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: so far. And listen, we appreciate you coming on. I

555
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: would say the reaction of your audience, maybe that they're

556
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: not as interested in getting the truth out about Donald

557
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: Trump as many other people in the country. Approximately sixty

558
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: of the country would not have the reaction of your audience. Okay,

559
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: by the way, it's I was I overstated. It's twenty

560
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: it's not seventy thousand. But you know, for Cohen's Hope

561
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: Hope Springs the Journal, I guess yeah, I I suppose so, folks.

562
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of this. Now that

563
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: we live in a country where even people who are

564
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: our villains and rich villains at that, I think that

565
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: they should set up a go fund me page like, hey, hey,

566
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: will you uh you know, will you give me some money?

567
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: You got anything for me? What is that all about? Um?

568
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: You know what what is that? What are we supposed

569
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: to make of that? And this is crazy? I mean,

570
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: Cohen is rich. Cohen has made millions of dollars millions

571
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: of dollars. Uh, and you know he's now asking people, Um,

572
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: he's asking people to give him cash so that he

573
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: can pay his legal bills. Because everybody realizes right now

574
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: that Cohen is trying to get on the you know,

575
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: he's hoping the door is going to be open to

576
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: him to be a hero of the resistance the way

577
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: McCabe and Struck and some of these others are. And

578
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: you know what, what what you end up finding from

579
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: that is that at least those guys, yes, they were

580
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: deep state, and they were bad and they were Oh

581
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: my gosh, producer, might just let me know. Struck is

582
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: up to four hundred and forty two thousand dollars four

583
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: hundred and forty two thousand right now his go fund

584
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: me account, So I guess, you know, co cole and

585
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: just has no shame at all about this, and he's like, yeah,

586
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: let me let me just go for it here, I'm

587
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna request more money. Look, I will say

588
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: this though, even if you're rich federal prosecution, you will

589
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: you will blow through a fortune like it's nothing. Um.

590
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: I've had I have some friends who are very expensive.

591
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: One one friend in particular, is a very expensive criminal

592
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: defense attorneys like the sometimes he actually had a client

593
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: he told me this once and you know, without breaking

594
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: any confident confidentiality, but a client who basically decided, look,

595
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a I'm gonna take a deal, not

596
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: because I'm guilty, but because I don't want to go bankrupt,

597
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: and I'm only facing you know, like six or twelve

598
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: months or something, and doesn't didn't want to lose all

599
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: of his money in his house and everything, because it

600
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: wasn't worth it to him. And that's what people and

601
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: he had been fighting for a while, and you know,

602
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: they offered him a deal and was gonna go to trial,

603
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: and he said, finally, are I'll take the deal because

604
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: he knew if you want to trial, he's gonna go bankrupt. Now.

605
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't think Cohen's better go bankrupt. I just think

606
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: it's funny though, that, you know, Landy Davis is out

607
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: there with Cohen now trying to turn him into some

608
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: kind of a reformed guy. When when wait, McCabe has

609
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 1: raised over five hundred thousand. My gosh, folks, the people

610
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I always tell you how the

611
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: left takes care of their own. Now they're doing it

612
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: in the open via go fund me accounts. If you

613
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: are a deep state uh petty tyrant who used your

614
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: political power or used your government authority to try to

615
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: take down Trump, there are now people who will just

616
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: will actually throw money, throw money to you. They'll just

617
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: give you money. I mean, this is like an after

618
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: the fact bribe in a sense, right, McCabe and straw

619
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 1: cab me, they're they're getting paid for their they're ill deeds.

620
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: And now Cohen wants to get in on that too.

621
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: I also see here there and they're subpoena ng uh.

622
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: New York State has subpoena at Cohen and Trump Foundation.

623
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: They're just trying to pile on New York State. All

624
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: all the New York State legal apparatus just wants to

625
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: what wants to pander to the Democrat base and do

626
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: everything they can to look like they're trying to get

627
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: in on the on the takedown of Trump as well.

628
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: So nothing here I think that's all that significant. But

629
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: they are looking to go after Trump Foundation. They're gonna

630
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: go after everything, folks. This is just gonna be. This

631
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 1: is the way they're gonna oppose Trump. They can't beat

632
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: him on policy, they can't beat him on substance, So

633
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: they're just gonna use the law to bludge in this

634
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: administration into you know, inefficiency, one way or another. New

635
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: York's Democrat Governor Andrew Proma even declared that America was

636
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: never great. Oh, I say, tell that to our great

637
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: soldiers at World War one, World War two, free in law,

638
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: so many others. Tell them to the folks that sent

639
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: a rocket up to the moon, and our great astons.

640
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: Tell them to all of the great medical research we've

641
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: done in this country. And he says America was never great.

642
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine that's career threatening, right, I would imagine

643
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: how did you get away with that one? You know,

644
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: the President raises there the point of Andrew Cuomo saying

645
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: that America was never great. He says, you know, that

646
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: should be career threatening. But as I've told you, no,

647
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: for Democrats, that's pretty pretty standard to denigrate America and

648
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: it's past and to view it as in its totality,

649
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 1: in the aggregate and negative thing. It is common among

650
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: a lot of progressives. Remember, this is also what what

651
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: Obama was supposed to do for the left wing mind

652
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: was to begin the healing of americ Aerica, the the

653
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: change of America to a remember, the fundamental transformation of

654
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: the country. That was what he promised. I'm not I'm

655
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: not putting words in his mouth. That was what President

656
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: Obama said, the fundamental transformation of the country. Why would

657
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: you want to fundamentally transform a thing that had been

658
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: the greatest, freest, most prosperous, most benevolent ever. Wouldn't you

659
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: just want to keep that going and the trajectory and

660
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: the general direction it's already been going. Obama promised fundamental transformation,

661
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: and Trump is in many ways a corrective to Obama

662
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: is um which we are seeing now with the economist.

663
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: We're seeing with how prosperous things are. By the way,

664
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: they hate the fact that this country is doing so

665
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: well economical right now. They hate it because what does

666
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: that say about Obama and all of his advisers. Oh

667
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: they're all supposed to be so smart, right, Guthner and

668
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: axel Rod and Jared and all these people around him.

669
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: Oh they're all so brilliant. They know how to run

670
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: an economy. No, they don't. The Obama administration didn't know

671
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 1: how to run a lemonade stand when it came to economics,

672
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: when it came to free enterprise and entrepreneurship. They think

673
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: that big established players are great because they donate to

674
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: They tend to donate to democrats. Right, Big government and

675
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: big companies go hand and hand in hand big business,

676
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: But they don't like the fact that the economy is

677
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: doing so well, and Maria bar Aroma was making the case,

678
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: I would note that we're an uncharted territory here because

679
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: everyone's thinking, Wow, the economy feels really good, but also

680
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: it feels like it might even get better Play eighteen.

681
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's really the key, the resilience of it,

682
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: because this rally that we've seen in stock prices is

683
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: based on real fundamental It's based on earnest growth, economic growth.

684
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: You know, for a time it was based on the

685
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: fiddle reserve and cheap money because you know that the

686
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: fiddle reserve basically went to zero and interest rates after

687
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: the financial crisis. It was all on the Fed to

688
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: take us out of the financial crisis in two thousand

689
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: and seven. But it did. Rates were low, it helped

690
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: things come back. And then it was all about the

691
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: corporate sector. Corporate sector, you mean, like a like a

692
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: corporate tax cut, for example, could spur growth and investment,

693
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: innovation and hiring. Oh my gosh, it's almost like the

694
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: stuff that conservatives have been saying forever. It's almost like

695
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,800
Speaker 1: the GOP on some of these economic issues is based

696
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: in what works, not in what what not? In what

697
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: feels good to say, which is a very important difference

698
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: you have with the with the Democrats on a whole

699
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: host of things. Trump, by the way, is not is

700
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: not backing down. We're backing off when it comes to

701
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: China and tariffs. You know he's he is taking on

702
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: some of these tough problems economically, despite the fact that

703
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: you know he's just they're coming at him from every

704
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: direction and all this Russia collusion nonsense. Here here's what

705
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: Trump had to say last night about China and terrorists.

706
00:39:55,160 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: Play three. When China makes a car they held into

707
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: the United States, there's two and a half percent tariff,

708
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: of which they don't pay, so they pay nothing. That

709
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful deal. When we make a car, we

710
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: sell it into China and there's a tariff. And that's

711
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: just the beginning. There's others. We are a country with

712
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: unbelievable potential. We are a country that has been ripped

713
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: off by everybody, and we're not going to be ripped

714
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: off anymore. And if it takes me the little eggs

715
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: to tell senators and Congressman and all of the people

716
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: that really do have your your heart in their hands.

717
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: In many cases, sometimes I wonder where they're coming from

718
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: with these suggestions. But it's going to have to take

719
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: that little period of them with that big said, we're

720
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: moving so fast nobody could even believe it, and every

721
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: country wants to make a deal. Deals are getting made, folks.

722
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: The economy is coming. Left hates it because Trump was

723
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: supposed to be a disaster. Remember it's not that they

724
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: said he would just be coasting on what they're now

725
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: calling the Obama economy, which is a pathetic rewrite of

726
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: of reality and of history. But they said that he

727
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: would be terrible. He would be a terrible steward of

728
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: the economy. He would mess everything up for us. But

729
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: then there's also the So there's the economy, which Trump

730
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: and the Republicans are winning on right now, no question.

731
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: Now there's also immigration. These are the two main reasons

732
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: why I think it's not a done deal for the

733
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: Democrats in the mid terms. Yet it's not a done deal.

734
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's not gonna be an uphill climb. First,

735
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: the fact that Democrats transitioned so quickly from family separation

736
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: at the border as an issue that they were just

737
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: they were pounding that issue even after the administration conceded

738
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: and said we'll do something to fix this. That kept

739
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: pounding it. You know, it's all about scoring political points.

740
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: Even after the problem had what was being addressed. But

741
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: even after that happened, they couldn't help themselves but to

742
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: start calling for the abolition of ICE, which is just crazy.

743
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: Play five. The new platform of the Democrat Party is

744
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: to abolishize. A vote for any Democrat in November is

745
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: a vote to eliminate immigration enforcement, throw open our borders,

746
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: and set loose vicious predators and violent criminals. Well, many

747
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: Democrats are calling to abolish ice. Today, our brave vice

748
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 1: officers successfully carried out a fourteen year old deportation order

749
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: against a Nazi criminal who was living in New York.

750
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: You know the way that was reported, folks. A Nazi

751
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: prison guard, an actual Nazi prison guard, right, Not not

752
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: somebody that voted Republican a couple of years ago. I

753
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 1: mean a Nazi Nazi, Because they say everybody now who's

754
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: are calling the left is calling everybody they don't like

755
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: a Nazi these days. I mean a a part of

756
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: the Third Reich Nazi was living in New York and

757
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: Trump and the administration sent him back to face justice

758
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: in Germany. He was deported after seventy five years being

759
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 1: in this country, and the media narrative on that one

760
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,800
Speaker 1: was Trump. You know, Trump uses this issue to pounce.

761
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: Oh yes, Conservatives pounce one of the favorite ways of

762
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: saying overreach that the Democrats have in their in their

763
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: papers and on TV. And then there's the issue of

764
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: the wall. Play clip four. We're getting the wall bills

765
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: going up. We're getting that bill, so we have three

766
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: point two millions. We're looking for five billion this year,

767
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it's gonna be finished and

768
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very, very effective. You heard about today

769
00:43:54,080 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: with the illegal allien coming in very sadly for Mexico,

770
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: and you saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman.

771
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: We've had a huge impact, but the laws are so bad.

772
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: The immigration laws are such a disgrace. We're getting them changed,

773
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: but we have to get more Republicans. Let's hear what

774
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: Democrats have to say about that terrible murder at the

775
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: hands of an illegal alien in Iowa. I've got some

776
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: of that coming up for you. Stay with me. It's

777
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: absolutely essential that you have a home security system that

778
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: gives you peace of mind and that you feel like

779
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: you're in full control of and you get great customer

780
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: service as well as round the clock monitoring to make

781
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: sure you, your family and all your stuff is safe.

782
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: Simply Safe is the best bet for all of this,

783
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: my friends. There's a reason that simply Safe has become

784
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: now valued at a billion dollars. I mean, this is

785
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: a major company because they understand this business backwards and forwards,

786
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: and they do a great job. I have a simply

787
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,240
Speaker 1: Safe system at home. It is so intuitive and user friendly.

788
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: It takes minutes to set it up. Once you get going,

789
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,240
Speaker 1: you can download an app to your smartphone control everything,

790
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: monitor everything remotely. And oh, by the way, if your

Speaker 1: WiFi goes down in your home, you're simply Safe, keeps working.

792
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: If your power goes out, You're simply Safe, keeps working.

795
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: slash buck again, simply Safe dot com slash buck. I

796
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: want to get one last question here because it is

797
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: a story, a very important story in the news that

798
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: has to do with Molly Tibbots, the young woman in

799
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: Iowa who was murdered. Her body believed to be found yesterday.

800
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: A person has been charged with that. This person is

801
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: an undocumented immigrant. UM Mike Pence and the President have

802
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 1: suggested the immigration laws need to be stronger so that

803
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: people like this man who is accused of this murder,

804
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: we're not in the country. Your reaction my I'm so

805
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: sorry for the family here, and I know this is

806
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: hard not only for the family, but for the people

807
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: in her community, the people throughout Iowa all But one

808
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: of the things we have to remember is we need

809
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: an immigration system that is effective, that focuses on where

810
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: real problems are. UM. Last month, I went down to

811
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: the border and I saw where children had been taken

812
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: away from their mothers. I met with those mothers who

813
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: had been lied to, who didn't know where their children were,

814
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: who hadn't had a chance to talk to their children,

815
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: and there was no plan for how they would be

816
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: reunified with their children. I think we need immigration laws

817
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: that focus on people who pose a real threat, and

818
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't think mamas and babies are the place that

819
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: we should be spending our resources. Separating a mama from

820
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: a baby does not make this country safer. What a disgrace,

821
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: Senator Elizabeth Warren is what a disgrace. I'm not surprised.

822
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: But even though I expect just a degree of just

823
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: disgusting commentary from her, even even though I would expect

824
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: that she would pander and put politics above any common

825
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: decency in her analysis of this, that was a particularly

826
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 1: going interview. I mean, I was taking just some notes

827
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: there as as we play the audioce I can quote

828
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: directly she said that she was so sorry, and then

829
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: she wanted to talk about the community, and then she

830
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about Iowa. Fine, then the butt comes.

831
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: But we need an effective immigration policy and we need

832
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: to focus on quote, real problems and quote I'm pretty

833
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: sure that it gets that. It doesn't get any more

834
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: real then a a wonderful young woman going for a

835
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: job being murdered in her hometown and a part of

836
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: the country that violence is a rarity. I'm pretty sure

837
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: that that's as real as it can possibly get in

838
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: the problem realm. That's not what Elizabe Warren thinks, of course,

839
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 1: immediately wants to turnun and start talking about a different

840
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: issue at the border. You see, this is what they do.

841
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: This is there? What about is hum This is when

842
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 1: they can't defend something, so they want to talk about

843
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: some other part of it. All Right, you and I

844
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 1: can have a real discussion about immigration. Yes, if you

845
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: cut back on immigration, are there some great people that

846
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: aren't going to come into the country. Yes? Is that?

847
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: Does that mean that you don't want to do it?

848
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 1: Not necessarily? You might want to make that trade off. Right,

849
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: Conservatives understand that there are tradeoffs in life, and we

850
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: are honest about that. Liberals live in this fantasy land

851
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: of everything they think is amazing and there's no cost

852
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: to it. I had Milania Trump's families immigration lawyer on

853
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: my show earlier in the week, and I just not

854
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: sick of all the talking points from him. So he's saying,

855
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: you know, immigrants are amazing. Back all the you know,

856
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: look at all the companies they found that all this

857
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: stuff is okay, that's fine, But what about illegals. Oh,

858
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: we shouldn't call them illegal, call them undocumented. No, No,

859
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: not playing that game. There are illegals. That's what the

860
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: federal law calls them. That's what I will call them.

861
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: They're in the country illegally. If you're going to call

862
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: somebody a criminal for a campaign finance violation, for example,

863
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: I think you should call somebody a criminal for being

864
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: in the country when they are in violation of federal

865
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: law every day they're in the country. But when I

866
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: asked him, why not ten million illegals? If illegals have

867
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: no downside, If illegal aliens only bring great things to

868
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: this country, doing the jobs Americans won't do, if they're

869
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: better than us, why should we even have any caps

870
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: or or any enforcement. They say, Oh, we're not open borders.

871
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: You know, we're we're expelling people. We're we're ending people back.

872
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,839
Speaker 1: All right, Well, is that bad? Do we only send

873
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: people back who are here illegally, who break the law

874
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: in addition to their illegal status. If that's the case,

875
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to know, Well, then why don't we just

876
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: letting everybody who wants to come and unless you break

877
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: the law, you get to stay. What is the breaking point, folks?

878
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 1: What's too many? We're at eleven million illegals, they say,

879
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: I think the number is much higher than that. I

880
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: think the common sense tells you the number is much

881
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: higher than that. But they won't even admit that there's

882
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: a possible downside to this. So how can we have

883
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: an adult how can we have a serious discussion about it.

884
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: The answers, I just I frankly don't know. I don't know. Um,

885
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,919
Speaker 1: that's not really their purpose though their purposes demagoguery. They're

886
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 1: the ones that want to bring in, you know, the needy,

887
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: the women and children, and take care of them and

888
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 1: clothe them with with your money, by the way, with

889
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: you know, the taxpayer footing the bill as much as possible. Oh,

890
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: I know, I hear that there they don't get welfare.

891
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: That these are all half truths or mistruths or untruths.

892
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: This is not this is not not reality. Um. But

893
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: when Elizabeth war is faced with the reality of what

894
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 1: happens when you have sanctuary city policies in place, when

895
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 1: you have millions of illegal immigrants, the immigrants in the country,

896
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: you will have situations where people are killed. And this

897
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: has happened thousands of times over the years. People are

898
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: killed by illegal immigrants, and we're not allowed to think

899
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: of that as a cost of illegal immigration. Why someone explains,

900
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: if if we're we can look at what happens when

901
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: our southern border is intentionally overwhelmed by people trying to

902
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: find a way to come into the country that is

903
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: not legal, but that exploits gray areas and loopholes, and

904
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: to try to try to beat the system. That's what

905
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,479
Speaker 1: they're trying to. The people that are showing that the border,

906
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 1: claiming asylum, saying that they're come from they come from

907
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: a country with there are too many gangs. That's that's

908
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,959
Speaker 1: beating this system. That's not really what we have in mind,

909
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: and with asylum practice, that's not really what we have

910
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: in mind with our refugee programs. But if we can

911
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: look at what's going on there and say, okay, well

912
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: we shouldn't separate families, and Elizabeth Warren's gonna demagogue that point.

913
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: What about the fact that Molly Tibbots has been separated

914
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: from her family forever, not temporarily, not a few days,

915
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: not a few weeks, forever, and she was brutally murdered.

916
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: Is that a cost? Why is it we're only allowed

917
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: to hear about the Valedictorian dreamers? This kid was a dreamer.

918
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: I have a woman coming on my show tomorrow on

919
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: On Rising who is a an angel mom and her

920
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: son was viciously beaten to death and set on fire

921
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: by a dreamer. So you know they can either make

922
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: a policy argument as far as I'm concerned that bringing

923
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: people or allowing people to stay in the country abetting

924
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: lawless this rewarding lawbreaking, that that's a good thing for

925
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: us or right, or they can deal with the reality

926
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 1: that for every story that they want to tell about

927
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 1: somebody who's doing great stuff, who's a dreamer, it's completely

928
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:21,399
Speaker 1: within the realm of of of acceptable discourse. It's an

929
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: a necessary counterpoint even to say, well, what about the

930
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: illegals are in the country who are part of m

931
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: S thirteen and murder people and ruined communities, and what

932
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: about that? What about them? They're a part of this

933
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: whole process too. But there's a lack of any honesty

934
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: from Democrats on this, as well as so many other

935
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: issues these days. But I thought that was really that

936
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: was even for Warren, that was pretty amazing. Real problems.

937
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 1: She says, we gotta focus on real problems. I doubt

938
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: you would have said that if Ah, the tibbots Is

939
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 1: were in the room. All I mean, although I don't

940
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: know it's Lizbeth Warren. She is utterly shameless and just

941
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: a pandering, complete phony, you know, very wealthy, very cushy,

942
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: positions that she's maneuvered herself into by playing the game,

943
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: doing whatever she has to do, and now she wants

944
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: to play the social justice warrior and the one who

945
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: cares so much about illegals. It's you know, I can

946
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: tell you this. Her kid doesn't go to a school

947
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: that's overrun with English as a second language and lots

948
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: of illegals everywhere. I'm just telling you that's I'm making

949
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: a I don't even know if she has kids. I'm

950
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: just guessing. But it's not her problem. It's not her problem,

951

Speaker 1: that much is for sure. For decades, credit cards have

Speaker 1: Housing lender. This is not working because the Republican Party

971
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: has not stood up to this president, not once. So

972
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 1: even if there is a guilty verdict from Mataford, even

973
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: though Cohen has turned himself in the fact that he

974
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: was even sworn in its president after the Access Hollywood tape,

975
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: let me know for a fact that the Republican Party

976
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 1: is actually not working on behalf of the American people.

977
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: They're working on behalf of Donald Trump, and he's been

978
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: able to bully them into their silence. And I don't

979
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: think that today changes much. Unfortunately, I'm sure we'll hear

980
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 1: what he has to say about this at his his rally.

981
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 1: The Fox News is talking about, you know, a girl

982
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: in Iowa, and not this right, and tomorrow morning we

983
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: know who wake up and tweet and sort of you

984
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: know a girl in Iowa, she says, a girl in Iowa. Yeah,

985
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: why why would why would they just talk about some

986
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 1: random girl in Iowa. Oh, that's right, that that MSNBC

987
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: political analyst was referring to Molly Tibbitts. So this is

988
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: where I am reminded folks once again that the left

989
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:46,280
Speaker 1: is not just delusional but also really unfeeling, really cold

990
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 1: in how they approach their hashtag resistance to Trump. Right there,

991
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: there's something deeply wrong with them. I'm on an emotional,

992
00:56:55,080 --> 00:57:00,320
Speaker 1: on a psychological level where all that matters is attacking Trump.

993
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: All that matters is coming up with some way of

994
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 1: humiliating this president or his advisors or people around him

995
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: or who supported for supported him, and the basic human

996
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: decency that we would all expect in a situation like this,

997
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: when you have a girl who was brutally murdered by

998
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: an i legal alien, you would expect that commentators would

999
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: go on TV and at least be respectful to the situation.

1000
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: But they don't really feel that need, they don't really

1001
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: feel an obligation because for them, this is this is

1002
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: all or nothing. If it takes down Trump, it must

1003
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: be good. If it is in any way, even in

1004
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: the short term, helpful through Trump or not not damaging

1005
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: enough to Trump, then it must indeed be bad. This

1006
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: is how they approach everything, you know. I'm I'm going

1007
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: to be going to a a book opening or book

1008
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: party for and Coulter later on this evening, and I

1009
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: was able to just thumb through her book. I have

1010
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: a copy of it here, and I think we're having

1011
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: an on radio tomorrow and she'll also be on Rising

1012
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: so as really making the rounds right now. But the

1013
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 1: opening chapter in her book is is Trump is Worse?

1014
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,479
Speaker 1: And she's obviously kidding. She's very funny. The opening chapter

1015
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: of book is called Trump is Worse than Hitler times Infinity.

1016
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,560
Speaker 1: And it's a great opening the book because that's that's

1017
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: a pretty good description of the liberal mindset right now.

1018
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: Trump is the worst, most destructive human being ever, when

1019
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: in reality, the country's actually doing great. Uh. The economy

1020
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: is is booming by any by any objective measure. It

1021
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: trust me, if the economy wasn't booming, you'd be hearing

1022
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: whatever thing wasn't going well, you'd hear about that constantly

1023
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: on TV, but also that the Trump is in many

1024
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: ways governing as a as a moderate, a moderate Republican

1025
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: at least he backs down when these Ninth Circuit judges

1026
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: come up with these completely cockamami rulings and decide that

1027
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: they're going to replace executive authority with their own whims

1028
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 1: and for all of this that they still think that

1029
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: Trump is somehow worse than Hitler. Time's infinity to borrow

1030
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: from Ann You cannot reason with these people, You cannot

1031
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 1: find a way to to to catch some kind of

1032
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: a middle ground with them. They are on a mission.

1033
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: And it really does speak to how Trump has upended

1034
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: their sense of their own importance in their own virtue.

1035
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: You know, we often talk about virtue signaling here. It's

1036
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: something that progressives do. They like to show each other

1037
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 1: and in their minds, the rest of the world, at

1038
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: least the world that matters how moral and good they are.

1039
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: They really feel this need. I'm always of the mind

1040
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,120
Speaker 1: that moral people just act morally and don't expect any

1041
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: praise or recognition for it, and don't feel the need

1042
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: to shout it from the of tops constantly or or

1043
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: on social media as the case maybe, but One of

1044
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: the things that Trump has done is he has, in

1045
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: a very public way and from a very powerful pulpit,

1046
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: challenge some of these concepts that liberals whole dear for

1047
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: the purposes of virtue signaling. Right. Uh. They they really

1048
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: do believe themselves to be the party of of the

1049
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: smart people and the nice people and truth. Uh. And

1050
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: when Trump, for example, says that there beloved fake news

1051
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: is in fact fake, that really upsets them because they

1052
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: watch it every night thinking that in the in the

1053
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: feedback loop that is, uh, the left wing news cycle,

1054
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: and look conservative news too. See, let me just take

1055
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 1: a little digression here. I'm not saying that there isn't

1056
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: conservative news and there's not a feedback cycle there too.

1057
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 1: But conservatives know what they are watching is coming from

1058
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: a center right perspective, except that what they're watching comes

1059
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: from center right perspective, and also understand that all the

1060
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: other stuff out there is left too far left. I

1061
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: don't watch uh you know, I don't watch a Fox

1062
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: News show and think to myself, well, like this is

1063
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: exactly neutral. No, we're talking about the opinion shows. I'm

1064
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: watching conservatives who are on air, who are who share

1065
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: my values and are taking a similar point of view

1066
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: to me. Right liberals watch CNN, they watch Anderson Cooper

1067
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: and they think, this is just the truth, This is

1068
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: just what matters. This is just journalism delusional, but that

1069
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: is in fact what they that is in fact what

1070
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: they think. And by Trump coming out and really making

1071
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: headway in this argument against them, and it's not just

1072
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: on that right, it's also on you know, it's also

1073
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: on the the legacy of obama Ism, which is a

1074
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: lot of social just this ideology wrapped into big government.

1075
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:08,439
Speaker 1: You know that that whole approach to governance was bad

1076
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: for the economy, created a lot of misery and what

1077
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,439
Speaker 1: was really wrong. And people who supported that and felt

1078
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 1: so good about themselves for supporting it, don't like to

1079
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: see that this brash billionaire Donald Trump can come kind

1080
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 1: of busting in on the political scene and do a

1081
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: much better job than Obama, who was there their savior.

1082
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: So so they are angry at Trump because politics is

1083
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: deeply personal for progressives, because they view it as a

1084
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,959
Speaker 1: means of enhancing their own personal brands all the time.

1085
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: And then also there's the issue of for the left,

1086
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: politics as a religion. For the right, when we're when

1087
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: we're doing it properly when we're not getting ahead of ourselves,

1088
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: are getting uh, you know, jumping the shark. Politics is

1089
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: about a governing approach. Politics is about philosophy and what

1090
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: works best in society to order people on their rights

1091
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: and protect individual dignity. But it's not about this is

1092
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 1: my only reason for being. And I think liberals need

1093
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: to take a long look in the mirror for why

1094
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: is it that for them, a challenge to their political

1095
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: beefs is like an existential challenge to their very core.

1096
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Is Sweden going to the far right? Here's a story

1097
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 1: you probably won't hear getting much attention elsewhere, if any.

1098
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 1: Sweden often pointed to as what liberals aspire to for America.

1099
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: Right liberals here will say that they want democratic socialism

1100
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: along the lines of what they have in Sweden. Sometimes

1101
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: I'll say Denmark or Norway, but Sweden tends to be

1102
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: number one on that list. But Sweden is not what

1103
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 1: it used to be very uh troubling ways. It's not

1104
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: nearly as safe as it used to be based on

1105
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: the statistics, and it has brought in, as you probably

1106
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: have heard and read, many hundreds of thousands of refugees

1107
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: particularly from the Muslim world in the last couple of decades,

1108
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: and they're having an election coming up in Sweden, and

1109
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: the Swedish TV channel did a compilation of some stats

1110
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 1: and what they found is that sixty percent of the

1111
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: men I'm sorry, fifty eight percent, So just shy of

1112
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: si fifty eight percent of men convicted of rape or

1113
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: attempted rape in Sweden. Now, keep on, this does not

1114
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: include reports of a rape where or someone was charged

1115
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: or where someone was charged and not convicted. So but

1116
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,720
Speaker 1: but almost six of men convicted of rape or attempted

1117
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: rape over the last five years were foreigners. And of

1118
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: that population that you're talking about, almost all of it

1119
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: from the Middle and foreign born from the Middle East

1120
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: and North Africa and um South Asia, almost all of it.

1121
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: Now you may be wondering, okay, buck well, to put

1122
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,480
Speaker 1: this in a real context, what is the popular what

1123
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: is the percentage of Sweden? So so almost all of

1124
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: the foreign born convicted rapists are from Muslim majority countries.

1125
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm just these are the statistics from Swedish TV. They're

1126
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: equivalent to BBC. I'm not I'm just going with what's

1127
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: with wright and writ and form. By the way, reported

1128
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 1: by the BBC. Okay, so this is you know, people

1129
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: can get all crazy with me and yell at me

1130
01:05:56,720 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: for this, but this is the BBC compiling Swedish TV information. Uh,

1131
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:07,439
Speaker 1: and let's call it. So, I don't think keep saying

1132
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: fifty percent, I know, keep going back and forth. Um,

1133
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: are are foreign born Muslims in Sweden that are that

1134
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: we're guilty, found guilty of rape And eight percent of

1135
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: Sweden is Muslim overall. So the percentage of the population,

1136
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: and that's the entire Muslim population of Sweden, So the

1137
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: percentage of the population that is Muslim and and foreign

1138
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: born that would fall into this category of the last

1139
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: five years is even smaller than that. So let's call it.

1140
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:43,919
Speaker 1: Roughly five percent or six percent of the population has

1141
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: been responsible for almost six of the rapes in this

1142
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: country of over about about fifteen million people, I think.

1143
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: So you have to think of it also in the

1144
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:58,520
Speaker 1: context that this is like the size of a pretty

1145
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: decent sized US state. You know, this is not a

1146
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: massive country like Germany or France in terms of population,

1147
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: and the total number of offenders are talking about here

1148
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: was about eight hundred and forty three, with a hundred

1149
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: and ninety seven from the Middle East and North Africa,

1150
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: forty five from Afghanistan. Um. These are people who were

1151
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 1: given refugee status, folks. Uh, these are refugees who then

1152
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: go on to commit rapes. That's what is happening in Sweden,

1153
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: and that's what we're talking about here in these statistics. Now,

1154
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: there are two ways to approach this as a policy matter.

1155
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: The liberal way are meaning our liberals. I don't I

1156
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: can't speak to Swedish domestic politics, assume everybody is pretty

1157
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: much liberal, but the the liberal American approach to this

1158
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: kind of an issue would be to one. I guess

1159
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 1: there are a few ways they might too it. Actually,

1160
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: there are few liberal ways. There's one conservative way, but

1161
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: they might try to just ignore it, which is what's

1162
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 1: going on in Sweden. I would note, until recently getting

1163
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: harder and harder for them to ignore this stuff. But

1164
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: they don't want to talk about it. They don't want

1165
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: this to become a part of public discourse. So that's

1166
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: one option that they might go with. The Other one

1167
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: is to say, and this is this mirrors what goes

1168
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: on in this country with the immigration debate, and and uh,

1169
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: Molly Tibbitts's to say, Okay, well, maybe something really bad

1170
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 1: did happen because or bad things do happen because of

1171
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: either illegal immigrants or refugees or whatever. It may be

1172
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: illegal aliens, but it's not fair to the rest of them,

1173
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: meaning not fair to the rest of the illegals or

1174
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: the refugees or the non citizens of the country to

1175
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: judge them all based on the actions of the few. Okay,

1176
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 1: that's I can that. That's an argument, that's a real position,

1177
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: a real good faith argument, I can. I can understand that.

1178
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 1: And then there's another way to go though. What if

1179
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: the citizens of a country say, we don't want a

1180
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: a dramatic increase in rapes in our country or or

1181
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 1: assaults in our country, no matter how many wonderful other

1182
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 1: people it brings in. So that is to say, you

1183
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: know you you you are not a bad person. If

1184
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 1: you live in a town. And I saw one of

1185
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: my friends Brian's suits on radio actually made this point

1186
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: via Twitter. I thought was interesting. He says, if you

1187
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: live near a prison, right, and the prison is is,

1188
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: everything is fine with that prison, But once a year

1189
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 1: an inmate breaks out and hacks a family of four

1190
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,600
Speaker 1: to death with an axe on on his way to

1191
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,759
Speaker 1: breaking free, and you are upset because that one family

1192
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: of four each year, a new family of four gets

1193
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: hacked to death by one. If the prison comes out

1194
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: here and says, well, you know it's only one a year,

1195
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: would that be okay? Would you be a bad person

1196
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: because in your community you would say, I don't want

1197
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: to suffer these casualties, even if they're not that many.

1198
01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: I want zero casualties. One would think that this, this

1199
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: could be a reasonable policy position, not based on a

1200
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: a problem with anyone's ethnicity or skin color, which is

1201
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,760
Speaker 1: what of course this always turns into that discussion for

1202
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: the left, but just because you you don't want to

1203
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,840
Speaker 1: be importing the problems of the third World into your country,

1204
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: which is what's going on in Europe with some pretty

1205
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: horrific effects in many cases, I don't all cases, not

1206
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: even a majority of cases, but enough cases that it

1207
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:31,600
Speaker 1: is forcing a shift in political discussion such that in

1208
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:35,759
Speaker 1: Sweden right now, folks, the far right party in Sweden

1209
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: may actually win this upcoming election. Um this, you know,

1210
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: people are thinking that the migrant problem such as it is,

1211
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:51,760
Speaker 1: may mean that the the far right, uh social Democrats

1212
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: party UH in Sweden may in fact be getting thirty

1213
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: percent of the vote cheese more than double. This is

1214
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: the expectation for the upcoming Swedish parliamentary election, but which

1215
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: is on September nine, by the way, but that would

1216
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: be double more than double what they got before the

1217
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:18,840
Speaker 1: migrant surge. Sweden, by the way, economically is doing well.

1218
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: Unemployment is low. It's people always say, it's ranked in

1219
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: one of the you know that, the happiest countries in

1220
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: the world to live. So why would you have this

1221
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: swing toward the far right, which who knows? I mean,

1222
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 1: I need to look into what the far right even

1223
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 1: is like in Sweden. But it's just immigration, folks. So

1224
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: a country that's incredibly progressive, full of democratic socialists like Sweden,

1225
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: is surging to the right for one reason, one reason only,

1226
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 1: in its immigration. And in this country we're told that

1227
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 1: if you have any qualms whatsoever about nearly unrestricted illegal

1228
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,799
Speaker 1: immigration into the country or poorly restricted, you know, however

1229
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 1: they want to phrase it illegal mcra in the country,

1230
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: you're you're a bad person, You're a racist, you're xenophobe,

1231
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:07,840
Speaker 1: all of these things. Meanwhile, the most progressive country on

1232
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,759
Speaker 1: the planet is swinging to the right because they're dealing

1233
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:12,680
Speaker 1: with these problems and they just don't want to deal

1234
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 1: with them anymore. The government can tell everybody that's fine,

1235
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 1: but people know it's not fine, and they just don't

1236
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 1: want to deal with it. So as much as government

1237
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 1: can try to jam these progressive multiculturalist policies down the

1238
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: throats of the Swedish voter or the American voter, we

1239
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: all can come to our own conclusions about how much

1240
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 1: unrestricted immigration from the third World we really want. And

1241
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: in Sweden the answer is a lot of them don't

1242
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: want any more of it. You need a little boost

1243
01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: to help you get through the day, to help you

1244
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: push through that long afternoon or get things started early

1245
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: in the a m. You want to go with a

Speaker 1: veteran owned, operated and founded company that will give you

1247
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 1: all of that energy you need. Strike Force. Strike Force

1248
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: energy comes in four different flavors. It is delicious. I've

1249
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: got a couple of the pump models on my desk

1250
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: so that whenever I just need a little zap, a

1251
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: little X or something, I can just put a squeeze

1252
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 1: a strike Force into water. I actually like a lot

1253
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 1: of iced tea. He's got a little of sweetness to it.

1254
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 1: So take an unsweetened iced tea, pull a little strike

1255
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: Force energy into it. Lemon goes great with this, and

1256
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: it is a delicious way to give you that little

1264
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:49,679
Speaker 1: is guilty to, among things, paying Stormy Daniel from Karen

1265
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: mctem could during the campaign, and he says he did

1266
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: it at the direction of the President of the United States.

1267
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 1: Did President Trump committed crime? As the President said, We've

1268
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: stated many times, he did nothing wrong. There are no

1269
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 1: charges against him, UM, and we've commented on this extensively.

1270
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: Then why not lookport these payments again. I'm not going

1271
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,000
Speaker 1: to get into the back and forth details. I can

1272
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,960
Speaker 1: tell you, as the President has stated on numerous occasions,

1273
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: he did nothing wrong. There are no charges against him

1274
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: in this UH. And just because Michael Cohen made a

1275
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: plea deal. Doesn't mean that that implicates the president on anything.

1276
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: Here today is that the president has never lied to

1277
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: the American people, because so many people now look back

1278
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:30,880
Speaker 1: at that tape of him on your Force LA and

1279
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 1: saying he knew nothing about these payments, when in fact

1280
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: we now know he knew everything about these payments. So

1281
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:40,440
Speaker 1: has he lied? Look again, I think that's a ridiculous accusation.

1282
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: The President in this matter has done nothing wrong and

1283
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 1: there are no charges against him, the president said Fox News.

1284
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: So I see journalists think of themselves now as the

1285
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: truth police, the truth police. That's an interesting way for

1286
01:14:55,600 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: them to position themselves, especially after many many years of

1287
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 1: not just covering for the lines of politicians that they

1288
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:08,719
Speaker 1: like I did not have sexual relations with that woman,

1289
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 1: but also engaging in all kinds of misdirection and deception

1290
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:18,520
Speaker 1: with regard to their own agenda. If you view modern

1291
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 1: journalism as leftist dominated and full of lies, and that

1292
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 1: means you're paying attention and you understand what's going on,

1293
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:28,559
Speaker 1: then you have a very hard time hearing from all

1294
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 1: these people who work at news organizations where they will

1295
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 1: look you in the face and say we are not

1296
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,560
Speaker 1: biased in any way. We are not pro democrat at CBS,

1297
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: We are not pro democrat at CNN. We are not

1298
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: They really and on all these newspapers you know, you know,

1299
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: three d of them or whatever it was, right the

1300
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: same editorial and are all taken the same line. But

1301
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 1: they still think somehow they're they're you know, independent and

1302
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 1: just speaking truth to power, and that they still believe

1303
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 1: their own line of crap. They really do. But if

1304
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: they're going to be the truth police, you know, there's

1305
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: some things, there's some questions that I want answers to, like,

1306
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: where was the truth police hammering the White House in

1307
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 1: every way they possibly could in the abdministration when we

1308
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:19,600
Speaker 1: were told this whopper of a lie. If you like

1309
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: your doctor, you can keep your doctor under the reform

1310
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: proposals that we put forward. If you like your private

1311
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: health insurance plan, you can keep it. If you like

1312
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: the plan you have, you can keep it. If you

1313
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,679
Speaker 1: like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor too.

1314
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: We will keep this promise to the American people. If

1315
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: you like your doctor, you will be able to keep

1316
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan,

1317
01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: you'll be able to keep your health care plan period.

1318
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep

1319
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,679
Speaker 1: your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you'll

1320
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,960
Speaker 1: be able to keep your health care plan. If you've

1321
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 1: got health insurance, you like your doctor, you like your plan,

1322
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 1: you can keep your doctor. You can keep your plan.

1323
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 1: If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.

1324
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:06,799
Speaker 1: If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

1325
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: Now I understand that this this is one when liberals

1326
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: start screaming what about is and what about is um?

1327
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 1: But that lie, which those were all different instances every

1328
01:17:17,320 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: time you heard Obama saying that, those were different points

1329
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: when he was in public giving speeches with an adoring,

1330
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 1: fawning media all around him, and we were told that

1331
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 1: Obama was basically our our savior and that he was

1332
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,719
Speaker 1: better than us too, that we weren't we weren't really,

1333
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: we weren't really up to up to par for what

1334
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: what Obama was bringing to this country, and he was

1335
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:44,640
Speaker 1: really there to fix the faults of this country. That

1336
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 1: was part of the narrative. But that lie really mattered

1337
01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:52,600
Speaker 1: to people because that was a specific issue in the

1338
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: Obamacare fight that they knew, they knew they would have

1339
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: had opposition in the Democrats would not have been able

1340
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: to get that bill through if people knew that they

1341
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 1: might lose their health care plan, that that could be

1342
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 1: a deal breaker. And so the decision to lie there,

1343
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: and it was a lie. There was no way, and

1344
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 1: this was based on all of the the internal preparation

1345
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: research that they did, or rather that the different special

1346
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: interest groups who came together to write this bill for

1347
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 1: the Democrats. Uh, they decided that this was the way

1348
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 1: it was gonna be, and they needed Obama out there

1349
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,879
Speaker 1: to pitch this idea to make sure that the American

1350
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,759
Speaker 1: people would at least enough of the American people would

1351
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: go along with it, that the Democrats would have some cover,

1352
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: and that they would jam through the largest entitlement program

1353
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 1: in in decades, which has as everyone knows, it's a

1354
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:51,000
Speaker 1: disaster because they can't even let us deal with the

1355
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 1: full weight of it. Uh, they keep delaying it, right,

1356
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: they keep on doing everything possible so that their constituents

1357
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: don't really have to deal with Obamacare. And that's not

1358
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: the only major lie. I mean that we also have

1359
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: this one who remembers This one is in fact what

1360
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: it began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what

1361
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: it transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course,

1362
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 1: as you know, uh, there was a violent protest outside

1363
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 1: of our embassy, sparked by this hateful video. You know,

1364
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 1: just before I get into how that was such an

1365
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: obvious lie, and that Hillary, as we know from the

1366
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 1: email to her daughter when she was Secretary of State,

1367
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:34,760
Speaker 1: knew it was a terrorist attack right away. Anybody who

1368
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: wasn't a complete moron in the government that was had

1369
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: any access whatsoever, knew this was a terrorist attack right away.

1370
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: But they had to change the narrative because it was

1371
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:48,759
Speaker 1: right before people are gonna cast votes, and Obama, who

1372
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: was so weak on foreign policy, such a a panderer

1373
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: to the rest of the globe. Obama was gonna had

1374
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,799
Speaker 1: this whole story about how he had destroyed Al Qaeda.

1375
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Know Bi Lan was dead, General Motors was alive. And

1376
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: then there's a terrorist attack on the anniversary of nine

1377
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 1: eleven that kills the U. S. Ambassador and three other

1378
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: brave Americans serving abroad. That's a bad look. So they

1379
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:11,960
Speaker 1: had to come up with something else. So it was

1380
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: just you know, protests and and that was a lie.

1381
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 1: They knew it was alive. And not only they know

1382
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: it was lie. But Candy Crowley, if you will recall

1383
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: at the debate when this came up with Mitt Romney

1384
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:25,559
Speaker 1: and Barack Obama lied for Obama in a way that

1385
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 1: may have actually turned the election. I mean it definitely

1386
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:32,000
Speaker 1: hurt Romney in a profound way, because Romney kicked Obama's

1387
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: butt in that first debate, just just took him to town,

1388
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 1: I mean took him to school. The second debate, though,

1389
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Candy Crowley are he dared call

1390
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 1: it a terrorist attack. Candy Crowley comes in, of course

1391
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: to save Obama, and you know, there you have it.

1392
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:53,640
Speaker 1: You know, you have Democrats lying on major things, journalists

1393
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 1: covering for them. And now I'm not saying that I

1394
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 1: don't think Trump ever has lied. Of course, I think

1395
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,679
Speaker 1: Trump has lied about things. I'm just saying I can't

1396
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 1: be made to care enough about Trump's lies to want

1397
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: to give up all of the winds and all the

1398
01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:11,719
Speaker 1: benefits for this country that we have had because he's president.

1399
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 1: They keep thinking, if they can get us to admit

1400
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: that he lied, then everything else will fall in place.

1401
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: For Okay, we shouldn't support Trump anymore. No, that's not

1402
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:24,080
Speaker 1: how it works. That's not how any of this is

1403
01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: gonna work. I've got a lot more teams, stay with me.

1404
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: It didn't get nearly as much coverage for obvious reasons

1405
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:33,320
Speaker 1: as some of the other big breaking stories in the

1406
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours. But there's a pretty pretty rough

1407
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:43,799
Speaker 1: indictment that got handed down. Um not rough asn't unfair,

1408
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: but rough as in, it's gonna be tough to if

1409
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: the facts are accurate in the indictment, tough to beat

1410
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: this one for corruption against California GOP Congressman Duncan Hunter.

1411
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:02,760
Speaker 1: I've interviewed Congressman Hun before, and you know, I said

1412
01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 1: this today. I always felt like there was something, there

1413
01:22:08,160 --> 01:22:14,240
Speaker 1: was something that he just never was quite the the

1414
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: figure in in conservatism or in Republican politics that you

1415
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 1: would think a guy who's, you know, looks the part.

1416
01:22:21,200 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: He's a former marine, he you know, he has a

1417
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 1: good presence. What was going on there? I mean, look,

1418
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: maybe I just didn't know him well or and then

1419
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:33,679
Speaker 1: this grand jury indictment comes down accusing him of filing

1420
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: false campaign reports and wire fraud. And here is what

1421
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:43,800
Speaker 1: we find out about the allegations, at least against the

1422
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: San Diego based Congressman San Diego such a great place.

1423
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: I'd love to be a San Diego based anything, I think.

1424
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: But so here here's what. Here's the sum of the

1425
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:58,560
Speaker 1: stuff that came out of this twofo dollars they say

1426
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: worth a campaign to pay personal expenses. The Hunters, the

1427
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: husband and wife. By the way, Duncan Hunter and his

1428
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: wife are both caught up in this. They are both

1429
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: being criminally charged. The Hunters allegedly overdrew their joint checking

1430
01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:19,759
Speaker 1: account more than eleven hundred times during a seven year period,

1431
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: leaning to more than thirty seven thousand dollars in overdraft charges.

1432
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 1: This is all according to the indictment uh and as

1433
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: as reported on Politico, their credit cards were also maxed out,

1434
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: leading to twenty four thousand dollars in additional charges. You know, folks,

1435
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 1: you probably don't need me to tell you this, but

1436
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: one thing that I am absolutely sure of, and everybody

1437
01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: that I've ever talked to who knows anything is sure

1438
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: about the first thing you do when you have money.

1439
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: The first thing you do when you have any money

1440
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: that you don't need for immediate expenses is payoff credit

1441
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,439
Speaker 1: card bills. I don't care how good an investor you are,

1442
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 1: you're not making twenty a year uh, year in and

1443
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: year out with your investments. So if you have any

1444
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: spare cash and you have credit card debt, pay off

1445
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: your credit card debt. I've I've had to have this

1446
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,839
Speaker 1: conversation with with some friends of mine who were shocked

1447
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 1: when I explained to them what an APR actually means

1448
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 1: and how credit card companies really make their money. They

1449
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,919
Speaker 1: make their money by turning you into an indentured servant

1450
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 1: of sorts that's just trying to pay off the debt.

1451
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:22,680
Speaker 1: But you're never really going to get out of the

1452
01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 1: debt unless you managed to save and get ahead of

1453
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: the monthly payments anyway. So this is almost like reading

1454
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: about somebody. Duncan Hunter and his wife sounds like people

1455
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: who would have been at the racetrack and, you know,

1456
01:24:35,000 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: spending their last dime because they've got the you know,

1457
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,639
Speaker 1: they've got the good number or whatever. You know, they

1458
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen next. And that's all bad enough

1459
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: when just the numbers are bad. But what's really gonna

1460
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: make this a a tough case for Duncan Hunter, and

1461
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: also just the reputational damage is that in some of

1462
01:24:56,280 --> 01:25:00,719
Speaker 1: the instances there were really egregious case is the most degree,

1463
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: just the one that everyone's pointing to, is that he

1464
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: wanted to buy some golf clothing and told his treasurer

1465
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:15,040
Speaker 1: that it was golf balls for some wounded warriors, but

1466
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,759
Speaker 1: it was actually golf clothing for him, according to the indictment,

1467
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,360
Speaker 1: and es Stantil proven guilty. We have to see. But

1468
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 1: once you start pretending to do charitable stuff, if you

1469
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: were doing charitable stuff or pretending to do charital stuff

1470
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: for veterans and it was in fact a lie, the

1471
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: jury will you will have no sympathy from that jury.

1472
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: The jury will not be even a little bit. Uh.

1473
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:39,800
Speaker 1: I think at least willing to hear about how you know,

1474
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 1: we're all flawed and you know nobody was you know,

1475
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 1: nobody was really injured here anything. Let's not get And

1476
01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't think Duncan Hunter is gonna go away for

1477
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: that long. It's not that much money. And again he's

1478
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 1: gonna maybe he's gonna defend himself. I don't know if

1479
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna take a plea or not. But it also

1480
01:25:55,800 --> 01:26:00,040
Speaker 1: just reminds me that I think there's a there's a

1481
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:05,400
Speaker 1: ad trend in American politics right now where people view

1482
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 1: being a public servant, particularly being an elected official, as

1483
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: not just a pathway to UH prominence and fame and

1484
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 1: prestige and all that stuff, but also as a pathway

1485
01:26:23,000 --> 01:26:28,720
Speaker 1: to great wealth and really really an entitlement to great wealth. Essentially,

1486
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: if you are you know, a member of Congress, a senator,

1487
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: or somebody who's cabin official. This there's this sense of, well,

1488
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 1: I should be able to have the kind of money

1489
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: that all these people that I'm interacting with, you know,

1490
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:48,680
Speaker 1: the donors and the people at my fundraisers, and and

1491
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 1: I think that a lot of a lot of our

1492
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: elected officials they fall into this trap because you know,

1493
01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 1: you don't and a lot of you're gonna say, buck

1494
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: Congress and make a lot of money. Well, you've got

1495
01:26:56,720 --> 01:27:00,719
Speaker 1: to maintain two residences, you know, one in dec basically

1496
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,680
Speaker 1: and one in your home district. You you know, you

1497
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 1: gotta pay DC taxes. It's it's actually not a lot

1498
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: of money, you know, a lot I think congressmen are

1499
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: making about now. Everything is relative, folks. Right my first

1500
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: year out of out of school, I was making in

1501
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 1: the thirties. Um, so I know that it's not easy

1502
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 1: to and I'm you know, paying all your bills on

1503
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 1: that is not easy wherever you are. UM anyway, Congressmen,

1504
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:27,640
Speaker 1: I think make about a hundred and fifty k. But

1505
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 1: if you want to have two homes and have a

1506
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 1: few kids, and maybe want to send one of them

1507
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: or two of them to private school, you know that

1508
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna run through that a hundred and fifty grand

1509
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 1: very quickly. And that's where or maybe it's a hundred

1510
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: and seventy I forget something like that. That's where I

1511
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 1: think some of these politicians get into trouble. They have power,

1512
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:50,040
Speaker 1: but not necessarily wealth, and they and they just can't

1513
01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 1: help but feel that that power should entitle them to wealth.

1514
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,640
Speaker 1: And clearly Hillary Clinton hollow is the best example of this,

1515
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: uh in many ways the most egregious example of this,

1516
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 1: and the fact that she has faced not only no

1517
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: charges for her massive scheme of self enrichment, but also

1518
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 1: that she hasn't really even been investigated. I know, this

1519
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:14,120
Speaker 1: is what about is M Why are you doing? What

1520
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: about is UM? But I think we're also all subjected

1521
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:25,720
Speaker 1: to a misperception of the wealth of other people. You know,

1522
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 1: I think we all are in this place where we

1523
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,640
Speaker 1: will will look on social media. We see things on

1524
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:36,639
Speaker 1: Facebook or on Instagram. If you're on Instagram, and everyone's

1525
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: just showing this life where they're always out to these

1526
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 1: incredible meals. They're always on vacation. And I like to

1527
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:49,520
Speaker 1: tell folks this life is actually tough. Life is struggling

1528
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 1: to pay your bills. Life is worrying about where you know.

1529
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:54,800
Speaker 1: People ask me, Buck, why do you why have you

1530
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: moved so much? It's not because I like moving because

1531
01:28:58,280 --> 01:28:59,799
Speaker 1: I don't have the money to stay in the apartment

1532
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 1: that I was living in. Because I've lived in two

1533
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 1: very expensive cities for my entire adult life. So when

1534
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: they raised the rent, I gotta move. That's stressful, you know,

1535
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: every time you deal with that. I mean, I've moved

1536
01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 1: probably ten times in my adult life. Think about that,

1537
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,960
Speaker 1: ten different I've had at least at least ten different homes,

1538
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 1: nothing about it and never owning anything. Just moving around.

1539
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: Life is that. It's paning credit cards, it's dealing with movers.

1540
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 1: It's having a boss or a colleague who is berating

1541
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 1: you without cause and doesn't appreciate you. It's uh, you know,

1542
01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 1: it's a spouse or a significant other getting sick and

1543
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 1: leaning on you. And you having to you know, that's life.

1544
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 1: And I think that we all get this idea that

1545
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: life is just traveling from you know, uh one and

1546
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 1: one incredible beach vacation to an incredible ski vacation too,

1547
01:29:53,120 --> 01:29:57,080
Speaker 1: you know, the to a a winery somewhere, and because

1548
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 1: that's the life that everyone wants to present about them.

1549
01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 1: So if not, look, some people just like to share

1550
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 1: they're happy stuff with their friends. And I'm not saying

1551
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:08,240
Speaker 1: it's not always about you know, conspicuous social media sharing

1552
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 1: for its own sake. I think some people do just

1553
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 1: want to celebrate with their friends. This is what I did,

1554
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 1: and this is kind of fun, Like everyone does. You know,

1555
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 1: I go to a wedding, I'll take a photo, right,

1556
01:30:17,000 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what we're all doing. But we

1557
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:20,840
Speaker 1: need to keep that in context. No one, no one

1558
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:25,680
Speaker 1: shares photos of themselves when they've had food poisoning for

1559
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: two days and they look like they're gonna keel over,

1560
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 1: and they're in the office and they're being told they're

1561
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,919
Speaker 1: not doing a good enough job and they just got dumped,

1562
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:38,680
Speaker 1: and you know, that's life. That's been life for me.

1563
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,679
Speaker 1: I've had to do this show with all of those things.

1564
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:43,559
Speaker 1: That have happened, right, I mean, you know this is

1565
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: not recently. Don't worry well again, knock on wood. But

1566
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 1: I I do think that there's this there's a perception

1567
01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 1: now that maybe is influencing the thinking of particularly the

1568
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 1: some of these this younger generation of politicians, Republican and Democrat,

1569
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:02,920
Speaker 1: who feel like they should be liveing this instagram worthy life,

1570
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: and they really don't think of public service as serving

1571
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:09,080
Speaker 1: the public. They think of it as serving themselves. And

1572
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 1: from what we see in this report, if it's true,

1573
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 1: then I think you'd have to agree that Duncan Hunter

1574
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 1: is in that category. And that's a shame. That's a shame.

1575
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: He service country honorably, hears a marine and now it

1576
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:23,720
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna serve some time in prison for

1577
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 1: being a corrupt public official if the allegations are true.

1578
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,519
Speaker 1: Got more coming up, Teams, Stay with me. You know,

1579
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 1: rarely do I see something and I think to myself, man,

1580
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: that looks like a terrible idea or I'm not gonna

1581
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 1: like that, And I'm surprised. You might say that's the

1582
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 1: curmudgeon in me. You might think that, well, Buck, of

1583
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,639
Speaker 1: course you think that because you do like to yell

1584
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:50,599
Speaker 1: at young uns which to use people under the age

1585
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,719
Speaker 1: of you know, from twenty to thirty. I guess, uh,

1586
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 1: to get off your lawn. But I saw this phenomenon

1587
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: in the streets of d C. Probably a few of

1588
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 1: you have this in your own towns. I know my

1589
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:05,719
Speaker 1: l A listeners know exactly what I'm talking about. High

1590
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:07,760
Speaker 1: five l A. I'll be out in l A by

1591
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 1: the way in a few days for some some business.

1592
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: Electric scooters. Now you may think buck is an electric

1593
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 1: scooter or something that my grandma rolls around and it

1594
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:21,559
Speaker 1: goes like and you know, you sit on it, and

1595
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 1: I think that's technically called a rascal, But yes, that

1596
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: is a form of electronic scooter. But what I'm talking

1597
01:32:27,960 --> 01:32:31,400
Speaker 1: about our actual scooters, like what used to play on

1598
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 1: when you were a kid, you know, and you sort

1599
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 1: of one leg on one leg you're using to kick

1600
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 1: at the ground and it makes you go and you yeah,

1601
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:44,559
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. And I as a kid,

1602
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: I remember my parents got me a scooter. I think

1603
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:50,560
Speaker 1: it was called the Black Widow, which I don't know

1604
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 1: why I remember that, but I do. But it was

1605
01:32:52,160 --> 01:32:54,040
Speaker 1: like an all black scooter. And I thought when I

1606
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 1: was ten years old or eight years old or whatever

1607
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 1: that that was the coolest thing ever. But I had

1608
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,320
Speaker 1: to actually peddle that myself or whatever you call it.

1609
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 1: When you kick your leg and you scoot her along.

1610
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 1: In d C. As a pilot program, they've started this

1611
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:14,519
Speaker 1: electric scooter stuff where you it's like Uber, so you

1612
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:17,559
Speaker 1: have an app. The app tells you where the scooter

1613
01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 1: is and then you go. You you just click in

1614
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: with your the app. Essentially you take a photo of

1615
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 1: the of the thing. I'm really not good at explaining this,

1616
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:30,840
Speaker 1: but you it's a little bar you know how they

1617
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 1: scan barcode. There you go, you take a photo of

1618
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:37,559
Speaker 1: the bar code and you hop on and this thing

1619
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:42,160
Speaker 1: goes about fifteen miles an hour. And it's not that

1620
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:44,320
Speaker 1: I care about this, but it's completely green, so it's

1621
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: all it's all considered green transport, so yave the environment

1622
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: or whatever. But you go about fifteen miles an hour

1623
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 1: and it allows you to really just get around the

1624
01:33:56,200 --> 01:34:00,840
Speaker 1: city with tremendous ease. It's incredible. I mean, I look

1625
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:03,600
Speaker 1: like such a dork, and I admit this. I accept

1626
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:06,839
Speaker 1: that I look like a huge nerd and that someone

1627
01:34:06,960 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 1: from one of like the rival left wing publications out there,

1628
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:12,639
Speaker 1: who maybe recognizes me from Fox or something like that,

1629
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:14,639
Speaker 1: is going to take a photo of me and mock

1630
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:17,759
Speaker 1: me relentlessly, and I will deserve it for riding around

1631
01:34:17,800 --> 01:34:21,559
Speaker 1: on this nerdy electric scooter. But I love these things.

1632
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 1: They are so fun and I feel like, you know, yeah,

1633
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:26,639
Speaker 1: it brings out the kid in me. What can I say,

1634
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 1: but you go, you know, you get to go all

1635
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 1: of all of the city and this little scooter. And

1636
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,799
Speaker 1: the great thing is, unlike a bike, you have full control.

1637
01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:35,519
Speaker 1: So when I get too close to somebody or some

1638
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:38,559
Speaker 1: maniac you know, comes flying out of the out of

1639
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:41,720
Speaker 1: the doorway and isn't looking at what they're doing, you

1640
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 1: just can basically hit the brake and step off and

1641
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,679
Speaker 1: you're totally stable. So I think it's a lot safer

1642
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: knock on wood. Of course, then bicycle riding around the city,

1643
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:54,639
Speaker 1: which I've always thought was just because people ride around

1644
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,680
Speaker 1: on bicycles are crazy, right. A lot of them go

1645
01:34:56,720 --> 01:35:00,360
Speaker 1: way too fast, they can't control the bikes. People have

1646
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 1: been killed in New York City because they've been hit

1647
01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 1: by bicyclists. So bicycles, I find, and there's also kind

1648
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 1: of a militant attitude that bicyclists have about the bike

1649
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 1: lane and everything. Uh, the scooter people, I'm not sure

1650
01:35:13,160 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 1: I'm a scooter person yet, but I'm getting close. The

1651
01:35:16,000 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 1: electric scooter people can also use the bike lanes, but

1652
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 1: we can do the street as well, And a lot

1653
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:24,120
Speaker 1: of them go up on the sidewalk, but that's a

1654
01:35:24,160 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 1: no no unless you're running really late, and then you know,

1655
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:31,559
Speaker 1: life's tough. But these things are so fun and it

1656
01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:34,480
Speaker 1: just makes me think, how, you know, what we consider

1657
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:38,320
Speaker 1: the future of how we get around and where we

1658
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:40,560
Speaker 1: live and and commuting and all this, it's going to

1659
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:42,960
Speaker 1: be so different in ten or fifteen years. Either there

1660
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:48,680
Speaker 1: will be autonomous driving pretty soon, and flying cars I

1661
01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:50,680
Speaker 1: think is probably thirty or forty years off. I know

1662
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 1: people say they're five to ten years off, but I

1663
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:55,639
Speaker 1: think it's more like thirty years off before they're really happening.

1664
01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:59,120
Speaker 1: But these electric scooters, I'm telling you, and you can

1665
01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:00,559
Speaker 1: plug them into the wall all so you don't have

1666
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,839
Speaker 1: to worry about you know, how how do I recharge

1667
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 1: my electric scooter? You just plug it in. So it's

1668
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:07,880
Speaker 1: just it's like an electronic appliance essentially that can get

1669
01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:09,639
Speaker 1: you too, and from work in fifteen miles an hour.

1670
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 1: It's just fast enough that you're really moving along. It's

1671
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 1: essentially as fast as most people would be able to to,

1672
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 1: you know, to run or sprint over um maybe a

1673
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 1: quarter a mile or so. I don't know. I don't

1674
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 1: know how fast that really is. But it's a lot

1675
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:25,639
Speaker 1: of fun. And you know, I might have to take

1676
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 1: a photo of myself just for the team, because I

1677
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 1: know you guys won't share anywhere, and I know you

1678
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:32,839
Speaker 1: won't make fun of me a lot if you see me, uh,

1679
01:36:32,920 --> 01:36:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, riding around d C on it on an

1680
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 1: electric scooter. That is nice to the environment, clean energy

1681
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 1: and all that. But I live just far enough away

1682
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:43,799
Speaker 1: from the office as well that it can be because

1683
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 1: I have to go back and forth throughout the day.

1684
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 1: This is a game changer, folks. It's really fun. I

1685
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: love it. The company is called Bird and there's another

1686
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:55,560
Speaker 1: one called LimeBike. Those are the two that are in

1687
01:36:55,640 --> 01:36:58,719
Speaker 1: d C right now. They're rolling this out pun intended

1688
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 1: as a program in different cities across the country. D

1689
01:37:03,280 --> 01:37:06,320
Speaker 1: C is one of the places, but in at Los

1690
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:09,599
Speaker 1: Angeles right now. The main place for this, the mecca

1691
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 1: of electric electric scooter riding is Venice and Venice Beach

1692
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 1: in Santa Monica, where apparently there's some ill will toward

1693
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 1: the scooter nerds from the general public because they leave

1694
01:37:22,439 --> 01:37:25,040
Speaker 1: their scooters everywhere and they zip around, they knock people

1695
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:27,720
Speaker 1: over and stuff. Um and I'm just realizing now you're

1696
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 1: all gonna make fun of me a lot for this.

1697
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:30,680
Speaker 1: But you know what, it's okay because I have no

1698
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 1: secrets from the team. I like to tell you what's

1699
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,240
Speaker 1: going on and the you you can say I'm a

1700
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:39,000
Speaker 1: giant dork. I understand, you can say that I'm a geek.

1701
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:42,480
Speaker 1: But once you stand up one of these electronic scooters

1702
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:46,320
Speaker 1: and or electric scooter and it gets you from your

1703
01:37:46,360 --> 01:37:49,600
Speaker 1: home to the you know, to the grocery store, the

1704
01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: barbershop or whatever, and you don't break a sweat in

1705
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: the dead of summer, and it's you get there in

1706
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 1: as fast basically as if you took a car. If

1707
01:37:57,960 --> 01:37:59,400
Speaker 1: it's in the city, if it's you can't go on

1708
01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 1: highways and and stuff with him, they go fifteen miles.

1709
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 1: But once you've done it, I'm telling you're gonna say, wow,

1710
01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 1: that's kind of fun. Now it's just a function of

1711
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:12,120
Speaker 1: how do you make this look cool? And I don't know.

1712
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that putting little fins and maybe a

1713
01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:17,880
Speaker 1: flame decal on the side of my electric scooter would

1714
01:38:17,880 --> 01:38:20,599
Speaker 1: do it. So I'm open any ideas, folks. How do

1715
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 1: I make team buck? How do I make myself look

1716
01:38:23,400 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 1: cool while I'm coming into the Freedom Hut on my

1717
01:38:27,160 --> 01:38:31,880
Speaker 1: borrowed share app electric scooter. I pose that question to

1718
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 1: you before roll call. The show ain't over yet, folks,

1719
01:38:41,200 --> 01:38:45,920
Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. Alrighty, roll call man. I

1720
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:47,519
Speaker 1: got a little I love roll call back, get a

1721
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:50,240
Speaker 1: little sad because it's the end of the show and

1722
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 1: shows the best part of the day every day, folks,

1723
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: especially right now where it feels like I am just

1724
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:01,200
Speaker 1: a man alone in the swamp ump. You know, I

1725
01:39:01,200 --> 01:39:04,720
Speaker 1: I don't work at a at a conservative place. It's

1726
01:39:04,760 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 1: a it's a newspaper. It's both sides. But I you know,

1727
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 1: I'm not surrounded by conservatives in the office. And then

1728
01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:14,840
Speaker 1: I leave the office and I am surrounded by angry,

1729
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 1: raging liberals. So that's not fun. And the culture here

1730
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 1: in d C is very anti Trump and very liberal,

1731
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 1: so you know, it does feel weirdly isolating when I

1732
01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 1: get to talk to you. It feels like dispatches from

1733
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 1: deep behind liberal lines. That's really you know, this is

1734
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:34,680
Speaker 1: when I get to It's like I'm on a ham

1735
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:40,360
Speaker 1: radio and I'm talking to my my fellow members of Well.

1736
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 1: I was going to say the resistance, but that's already

1737
01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:45,960
Speaker 1: been taken by a bunch of progressive whimps. But some

1738
01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 1: other cool secret society of the of the Defense of

1739
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:51,800
Speaker 1: the Republic or something, that's what this really feels like. Okay,

1740
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:55,080
Speaker 1: I'll stop labbing roll roll call, Facebook dot com, slash

1741
01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 1: buck Sexton, Kelly is up first, love your chromo impression.

1742
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 1: Did you ever see any of the coverage of CNN

1743
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:05,799
Speaker 1: from election night? I wish I had saved the recording,

1744
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: but it has to be out there somewhere for you

1745
01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 1: to find. I was a pregnant insomniac at the time

1746
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,720
Speaker 1: and watch everything on multiple channels through the middle of

1747
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:15,680
Speaker 1: the night. Just as they started to realize Hillary's going

1748
01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:19,400
Speaker 1: to lose the wheels started coming off. Chris Cuomo did

1749
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 1: an analysis and said, if we're gonna win, we need

1750
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:25,320
Speaker 1: to hang onto these states. And then he quickly realized

1751
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:27,280
Speaker 1: what he said and tried to correct himself by saying,

1752
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:30,639
Speaker 1: I mean Hillary, if she's going to win. He barely

1753
01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 1: looked at the camera until they went to commercial a

1754
01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 1: few minutes later. Hilarious. Never watched CNN again after that.

1755
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 1: You should add Christie your arsenal of impressions. He is

1756
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 1: quite worthy. But seriously, I appreciate your show and listen

1757
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 1: to you a podcast as a military spouse. I'm also

1758
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:46,080
Speaker 1: grateful for your support of the arms services. Thank you

1759
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 1: for all you do well, Kellie, thank you for your

1760
01:40:49,040 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 1: support of the show, and also please thank your your spouse,

1761
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 1: your husband for uh his service to the country. So

1762
01:40:55,800 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 1: thank you very much for that. And I have a

1763
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:02,840
Speaker 1: governor him impression Bro Cuomo. We have a name for him,

1764
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:05,880
Speaker 1: a nickname, that's the other Cuomo. But I can't say

1765
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 1: that I have a an impression for him because he's

1766
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:14,680
Speaker 1: not that interesting. There's not enough about him too, He's

1767
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:16,720
Speaker 1: not interesting enough to mock. Well, I guess that's what

1768
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:19,479
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. But thank you so much for

1769
01:41:19,479 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 1: your kind note, Maria writes, Trained to Boussan is excellent.

1770
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 1: It received a rare on Rotten Tomatoes. Outstanding effects, good

1771
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:33,439
Speaker 1: but predictable storyline, and characters you'll fall in love with

1772
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: not to mention zombie zombies zombies. Well, that is quite

1773
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 1: a recommendation, Maria. I'll see if MS Molly wants to

1774
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 1: watch it with me this weekend. We're thinking about picking

1775
01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 1: out a movie together, so Trained to Boussan sounds like it.

1776
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Ms Molly gets a little scared by

1777
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:54,960
Speaker 1: the scary movies. So and I'm not gonna say I do,

1778
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna say I don't. I do like

1779
01:41:57,320 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 1: a good zombie flick though, Cornelia Rights Rising is my

1780
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 1: favorite morning show, but it would be able to It

1781
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: would be nice to be able to watch the whole show,

1782
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 1: uh without ads as one video instead of the clip format.

1783
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 1: I keep having to remaximize my video so I can

1784
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:15,519
Speaker 1: watch it full screen. However, despite this issue, I'm an

1785
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:17,479
Speaker 1: avid viewer, So keep up the good work with Crystal,

1786
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 1: and you're excellent reporting Shields High Well, Cornelia, thank you.

1787
01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:24,320
Speaker 1: It's nice to have somebody who likes the show right

1788
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:27,840
Speaker 1: in because some of you have been There's been a

1789
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:30,760
Speaker 1: lot of helpful critiques of the show so far, so

1790
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm glad that there's also some folks who usually around

1791
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:37,240
Speaker 1: the politics of not me, but I do appreciate you

1792
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:40,599
Speaker 1: guys writing in no matter what you think about the show. Um,

1793
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:43,120
Speaker 1: and we're we're working on it and fine tuning it

1794
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:46,679
Speaker 1: all the time. Kyle writes Buck, listening to your discussion

1795
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 1: about the left abuse of the word fascist while extolling

1796
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:53,599
Speaker 1: the virtues of democratic socialism, I think it's always important

1797
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:55,920
Speaker 1: to note that the proper term for the Nazi Party

1798
01:42:56,400 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 1: was the National Socialist German Workers Party, and that an

1799
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 1: achieved power initially through a democratic process. If calling it

1800
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:07,240
Speaker 1: democratic socialism is supposed to make it sound like a

1801
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:11,240
Speaker 1: cuddly ideology, I wonder what progressives would think about the

1802
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 1: term democratic national socialism. Hey, it's democratic, so it has

1803
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:18,720
Speaker 1: to be good, right. Well, you know, Kyle, this is

1804
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:23,639
Speaker 1: kind of a and add on to what when people

1805
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 1: joke around about like the People's Republic of North Korea.

1806
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's sorry, the People's Democratic Republic of North Korea.

1807
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:33,719
Speaker 1: I left one out there. The People's Democratic Democratic Republic

1808
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 1: of North grew. The DPRK is neither democratic, nor republic,

1809
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 1: nor of the people. So you know, the more you

1810
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,120
Speaker 1: have to say it in your name, sometimes the less

1811
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:46,679
Speaker 1: true it is. Uh. And that's to your point about

1812
01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:52,280
Speaker 1: socialism yes, and the National Socialists, uh, that is National

1813
01:43:52,320 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 1: Socialist German Workers Party, the Nazis. They will always say

1814
01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:58,840
Speaker 1: that the same way the Democrats will just proclaim that

1815
01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party of to A is so different from

1816
01:44:00,800 --> 01:44:03,559
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party of before. They'll say the same thing

1817
01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 1: about socialists, that the National Socialists were not really socialists.

1818
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 1: And this is an argument because they don't want that

1819
01:44:12,160 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 1: history at their feet. I'm wondering, by the way, when

1820
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:19,559
Speaker 1: when we all agree that all statues of anybody who

1821
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: is a socialist would also come down Given the history

1822
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 1: of socialism, of enslaving people vias government control, and the tyranny,

1823
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,960
Speaker 1: murder and oppression of millions done in the name of socialism,

1824
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, you would think that that might also be

1825
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:37,360
Speaker 1: a part of this historical revisionism that we're all going

1826
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:41,840
Speaker 1: through now, or rather historical revisiting that we're all going through.

1827
01:44:43,040 --> 01:44:51,400
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, uh, we have aries. You're right, you're all wrong. Thanks, aries.

1828

Speaker 1: I can always count on areas to keep it one.

1829
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,720
Speaker 1: You're all wrong. Zombie Land is the best zombie movie

1830
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:59,800
Speaker 1: of all time. By the way, if Trump gets pushed

1831

01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:05,360
Speaker 1: John Galt style. I will, although I suspect many will

1833
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:10,880
Speaker 1: go Ragnar Donna scold, Nice Atlas shrug, reference aries, and

1834

1836
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,160
Speaker 1: Please help us understand the media is madness. It is

1837
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 1: truly depressing to watch how giddy they are about this

1838
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 1: Cohen case. It seems they cannot wait to scream to

1839
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:29,920
Speaker 1: the rooftops. I told you so. I'm beside myself with grief.

1840

1843
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:46,280
Speaker 1: never managed to stop Trump before. They're not gonna stop

1844
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:48,439
Speaker 1: him this time around. I'm telling you it's all gonna be.

01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:52,639
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be just fine. Um. I I still

1846
01:45:52,640 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of faith here, even though look there's

1847
01:45:54,160 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 1: some bad stuff going on. They they really think they've

1848
01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 1: got Trump in a corner, but nobody puts Trump in

1849

Speaker 1: California has, uh, you know, better weather and more beautiful people,

1856
