1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Sank to Coomey was 2 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: a liar and a fraud all along. The Inspector General 3 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: report on James Coomy has dropped and guess what. He 4 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: broke a lot of rules, he lied about what went on, 5 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: and he just barely avoids prosecution. What does this tell 6 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: us about the deep state, the anti Trumpers and all 7 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: the rats. We're going to that plus General Madis has 8 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: some words about President Trump. Will discuss coming up on 9 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show 10 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: where the mission or mission is to decode what really 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a 12 00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Remember he's 13 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: a great guy. It is. The report itself is still 14 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: very damning for the former FBI director. It goes on 15 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: to say that James Comy violated FBI policies and the 16 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: way he handled, retained and disseminated this memos. It says 17 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: that Komy set a dangerous example for other members of 18 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: the FBI, and it points out that you know, he 19 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: even had these conversations with President Trump about how important 20 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: it is to keep investigatory details secret to not share 21 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: information with the press and then essentially says, you know, 22 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: he was a hypocrite for turning around and doing the 23 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: same thing himself. It also includes a couple of select 24 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: quotes from interviews they did with Komey's advisors where Komey's 25 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: advisers are telling the IG that they were stunned, they 26 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: were shocked. It was disappointment to see that this is 27 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: how Coomy had acted. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show, 28 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: IG Report on Komey. Remember there's still more to come 29 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: with the Russia collusion. Delusion led to the Muller probe 30 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: and the conduct the FBI during the Muller probe. But 31 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: we know who James Coomy is. If you listen to 32 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: the show, you know who he is. We call him 33 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: sank To Coomy, a play on of course, his name 34 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: and sanctimony, because he is exactly that. He's someone with 35 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: a very high self regard, someone who has inserted himself 36 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: as a government civil servant, not an elected official, at 37 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: critical times in some of the most politically contentious moments 38 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: in recent history. And all the while there was this backstory, 39 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: there was this facade of Komi, the incorruptible Comy could 40 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: not be pushed, he could not be bought, he could 41 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: not be cajoled, he cannot be persuade. All this stuff, 42 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: and it turns out that he is first and foremost 43 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: a commiist. He believes that he knows better the rules 44 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: you see there for little people. Colmy has a different approach. 45 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: What did we really find out in this Inspector General report. Well, 46 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: for one thing, Comy broke FBI rules and regulations. He 47 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: had to know he was breaking them, and was just 48 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: on the very edge of sharing classified information. What bailed 49 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,559 Speaker 1: him out is that the lawyer that he sent classified 50 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: information to happen to maintain a clearance. And I suppose 51 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: the way that he sent the information did not violate, 52 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: meaning the way the information transited. I'm guessing he did 53 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: it over the internet. I think that's what it's said 54 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: in the report. I read the report first thing this morning. 55 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't of such a high sensitivity that that was 56 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: going to be a criminal issue for Comy. Now, though, 57 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: we look at the seven memos and we see that 58 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: there is no question that James Coomy used the office 59 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: of the FBI Director to wage a personal vendetta against 60 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: the President of the United states, Comey's feelings were hurt. 61 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: Comy was mad that he got fired, and there were 62 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: so many reasons to fire Comy. And that's why you 63 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: have to remember this, this self righteousness that he walks 64 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: around with all the time, and the way that he's 65 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 1: just completely lacking in self awareness. I mean, just the 66 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: weird photos he takes of himself staring out over lakes 67 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: and everything else, and the way that he speaks to 68 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: everybody like he's just I'm just here to just be 69 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: the honest guy. You know. I didn't mean to get 70 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: my nose all in the midst of all this political stuff. 71 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to do my job at the FBI. 72 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: Sure you are, Comey, Sure you are. That's why he 73 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: broke protocol as came up in the last Inspector General 74 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: port by stepping forward and speaking about the Hillary Clinton 75 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: email investigation, which was just flatly not his job, not 76 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: his role. But he did it anyway. Why because he 77 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 1: thought it was best. And then Comey wrote these memos down, 78 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: and at one point he made seven memos of different 79 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: meetings with the president. But let's break that down for 80 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: a moment. The memos aren't a true recitation of exactly 81 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: what was said at the meeting. This is, by the way, 82 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: an old I'm gonna say this is an old FBI 83 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: agent trick. They get to write whatever they want to 84 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: write about what you were saying. Which is why any 85 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: good defense attorney will tell you that if you're going 86 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: to sit down for questioning with the FBI, first of all, 87 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: always have an attorney present. Always. What is what if 88 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: I can teach you nothing else from listening to this show, 89 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: it is don't talk to the FBI, and if you're 90 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: going to talk to him, you have to have an 91 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: attorney present, right. That's if you take that away from this, 92 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: I may save you a criminal federal indictment at some 93 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: point in the future that you just get jammed up 94 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: in because you think you're just being a good citizen 95 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: and a helpful person. So you decide to sit and 96 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: talk to the FBI. Oh, like General Flynn, don't think 97 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: that they're gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. 98 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: And we'll get into this too, about the elites and 99 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: what rules apply to us, and what rules don't rules 100 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: don't apply to them very strict and all the rest 101 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: of us. They can get away Coomy can get away 102 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: with whatever we'll see. I think McCabe is going to 103 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: get away too, but that we'll get to that. So 104 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: Comy makes these memos which are just what he decides 105 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: to say or write down was said in the meeting, 106 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: and then that's the Oh, that's the contemporary contemporaneous record. 107 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: That's all you have to go on. That's all you 108 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: need to know. That is the record from that meeting. Well, 109 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: hold on a second. Why would James Comey then, as 110 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: FBI director take some of the of the seven memos, 111 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: there were at least three that had information that was classified. Now, 112 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: he was a classification authority and he determines what the 113 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: classifications were on those memos. Some of them he handled 114 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: those though they were classified. Something he look Comy is slick, 115 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: but he couldn't help it with his ego this time around. 116 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: Now he went too far, but he was smart enough 117 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: not to put himself in overt and egregious criminal jeopardy 118 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: the way that Andy McCabe did. I mean, if they 119 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: let McCabe go without charges, that's just because he's FBI 120 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: and they don't want to charge a guy who was 121 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: very senior in the FBI with a crime. That's all 122 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: that is, it's a decision they're making because he's McKay 123 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: komy was smoother. He broke FBI rules. He would have 124 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: been fired if he tried to stay around as FBI director. 125 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: What he did was unethical. Why would he do it 126 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: in the first place? Though? I mean, I'll get into 127 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: the violation. The violations are pretty obvious. He's taking work 128 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: product home with him and keeping it as though it 129 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: is his personal property. He locked it in a safe 130 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: at home. Why would you do that unless you were 131 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: plotting something? Well, as we know, he was plotting something. 132 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: He was scheming in this whole process, and he went 133 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: after the President of the United States. That was the plot, 134 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: and he managed to get his way the Muller probe. 135 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: He even said openly on the record that the whole 136 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: point of what he was doing was to get a 137 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: special council appointed. That's what he wanted from the process, 138 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: and he managed to do it. James Comey is smart 139 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: enough and has been a player in this DC centric 140 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: world long enough to know that taking home notes of 141 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: meetings with the President United States is just wildly inappropriate. 142 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: Why would he do that? Under he said that he 143 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: thought that they were his private. So basically Comy decides 144 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: that this is unclassified information, it's for official use only. 145 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: It's the acronym they'll use fo uo and he and 146 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: he takes it home with him just to keep because 147 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: why why would anyone do that? And there's so much 148 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: that comes from them, so many ramifications. One is, how 149 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: can anyone trust that they can have a conversation in 150 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: the Oval office with a member of the intelligence community 151 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: now or somebody at the top of a federal law 152 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: enforcement and not think that maybe they're creating a little 153 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: OPO file on the President the United States that they're 154 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: going to release to the press at any point in time. 155 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 1: The Inspector General report made clear what Comy did violated 156 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: FBI regulations. It was unacceptable. He broke the very codes, 157 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: the very rules that as an FBI director he was 158 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: sworn to uphold. And if you asked him why he 159 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: did this, well, of course it's because Trump is a 160 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: clear and present danger, he would say to America. So 161 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: he got a special counsel started. When we know that 162 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: Comy should have been fired long before any of these 163 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: seven memorialized meetings from January of twenty seventeen all the 164 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: way up to when he was finally fired. Another thing 165 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: that jumps out when you read this. I was in 166 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: the intelligence community. I briefed the President the United States 167 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: a couple of times, ran those Oval Office briefings for 168 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: the intelligence community. I was the guy in the oval 169 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: explaining to the President some of the more important issues 170 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: of the day. Why on earth would the FBI director 171 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: think that it was a good idea and it was 172 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: appropriate to have a one on one, a personal meeting 173 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: with the President the United States to present him with 174 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: something that was the equivalent of online gossip. And how 175 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: are we really supposed to believe that Komey or one 176 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: of his close allies, Clapper or somebody of that sort 177 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: didn't leak the information. When CNN was reporting on it 178 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: the next day, they told the press that they were 179 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: briefing the president on this dossier that they had had 180 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: four months, so that they could make a news story 181 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: out of it and then have an excuse to push 182 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: the dossier itself as though it was true. This is 183 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: the well, I can't verify this, but I'm going to 184 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: report on someone else reporting on it routine call me 185 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: knew exactly what he was doing. How does it help 186 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: the President of the United States to be told that 187 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: there is a crazy rumor mill of lies out there. 188 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: Would it have been useful for somebody to have briefed 189 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: Obama on what the birther conspiracies on the internet work. 190 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: So the FBI Director of sat down and say, hey, 191 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: I saw you know, there's some people that are saying 192 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: this stuff about you. Of course not, it's absurd, but 193 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: guess what they decided to brief the President of the 194 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: United States on a dossier that is a collection of 195 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: lies paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign, taken from 196 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: Russian subsources who were most likely running a disinformation campaign 197 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: against the United States anyway, and then laundered it through CNN. 198 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: And Comy did all of this knowingly and willfully, and 199 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: was willing to break FBI rules and regulations in the process. 200 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: If he had not already been fired, he would be 201 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: fired now what James Comy did. Don't believe he's now 202 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: claiming he's vindicated. Why because he's not going to be 203 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: a felon. What James Comy did was wrong. He abused 204 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: the power of his office. He betrayed the trust of 205 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: his president. He can't walk around hiss. FBI director and 206 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: say not my president. It was his president. The commander 207 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: in chief the United States Military and the top law 208 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: enforcement officer in the United States government, is in fact 209 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: the President of the United States, and he betrayed him 210 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: out of personal spite. And we were told that Comey 211 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: was beyond reproach by the media for as long as 212 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 1: they could get away with it, just like we were 213 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: told that Muller was the ultimate FBI guy until we 214 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: saw him give that press conference and realized, oh my gosh, 215 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: he and Biden need some time out together. When we 216 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: talk about a deep state, a conspiracy in effort at 217 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: the top reaches of the federal bureaucracy and in conjunction 218 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: with the Democratic Party to undo the results of the 219 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election, how can we not put what we've 220 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: learned about James Coomy right at the very top of 221 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: that list. He was FBI director, He used used Russian 222 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: disinformation paid for by the Clinton campaign as an excuse 223 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: to create a news story that would embarrass the President 224 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: of the United States, and then he refused to say 225 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: publicly that the president himself was not a target of 226 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: a federal investigation into treasonous activity, even though he told 227 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: the president. He was not. James Comy is all about 228 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: the rules until the rules getting the way. He's all 229 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: about by the book until he wants to write a 230 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: different book. And now we know, we know we've been 231 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: lied to, We know that he abused his power, and 232 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: we know that this is not an ethical person acting 233 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: the best interests of the country. James Comey was acting 234 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: in his own best interests, and he was willing to 235 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: degrade the very FBI that he claimed to love so 236 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: much as he was getting pushed out the door. We're 237 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: just beginning to get into this, my friends. I have 238 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: much more for you on the Inspector General report. What 239 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: this tells us about our institutions, what this tells us 240 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: about rule of law and justice in the DOJ, the 241 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: prosecutorial arm and what we can expect going forward. We've 242 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: got much more. Stay with you, Presidents treated innumerable times, 243 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: calling to you a leader or what's your response to 244 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: President Trump? Look, it's true. I mean I'm the one 245 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: who testified about it. That's how people know about it. 246 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: I gave that unclassified memo to my friend and asked 247 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: him to give it to a reporter. That is entirely appropriate. 248 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: Whym not do it yourself. Why not do it openly, 249 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: transparently for one very practical reason. At the end of 250 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: my driveway was a horde of media, and my thought was, 251 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: if I give it to one reporter, then what's my 252 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: answer to all the others about why I won't answer 253 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: their questions? So it was a liar or an idiot. 254 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, you can say either one because it 255 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: was not entirely appropriate. The Inspector General found that it 256 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: was entirely inappropriate. This guy was the FBI director Folks, 257 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: a lifelong prosecutor. That's really what he was. Remember he's 258 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: not really an FBI agent, got He's not law enforcement 259 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: in that sense. He was a prosecutor. And his close 260 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: buddy Patrick Fitzgerald, another prosecutor who was also a lawyer 261 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: who received some of these documents for him, was the 262 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: headhunter who for political reasons, went after Scooter Libby. Oh wow, 263 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: It's almost like some of these very prominent pro hillary 264 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: prosecutors decide that they're going to get some people because 265 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: they want to even the score with the other side. 266 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Comey is one of these guys 267 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: that loves to go around telling everybody about how he 268 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: would never break any rules. And he was even saying, 269 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: do we think that he didn't know? I mean I 270 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: was in the CIA. I would never, as a little 271 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: nobody analyst ever have taken notes from a meeting inside Langley, 272 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: taken it home and put it in by safe because 273 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: I thought I should have it. This is what this 274 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: guy did. People would have thought I was insane. I 275 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: mean I would have been I would have been fired. 276 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: I would have been stripped to my clearance. He acts 277 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: like this was normal. Yeah, he was totally appropriate. Oh, 278 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: it's only appropriate in the sense that Comey believes that 279 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: he is a great historical figure and that he is 280 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: the anti Trump and going to save the country. And 281 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: there'll be history books written about how James Comey was 282 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: more honorable than George Washington himself. Well, the problem is 283 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: the Inspector General Port came out and said, actually, you're 284 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: a jerk, Comey, and you broke a lot of rules. 285 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: A couple of years back, he gave a speech saying, 286 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: if we fall in love with our own virtue, we 287 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: can go sideways. At any point over the last two years, 288 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 1: did you fall prey to that, Did you fall in 289 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: love with your own virtue. I don't think so, but 290 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: I worried about it constantly. And the guardrail for that, 291 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: because that's a big worry I have about myself, was 292 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: to surround on myself with people who will get that 293 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: hit at the certainty, hit at the pride, to make 294 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: sure I've thought about things well. I'm gonna teach, I'm 295 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: gonna travel around and speak about leadership, but I want 296 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: to offer them a vision of here's what it should 297 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: look like. Values matter. This president does not reflect the 298 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: values of this country. For a normal person, the answer 299 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: to the question did you ever fall in love with 300 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: your own virtue? Would be no. For James Comey, it's yes. 301 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm very introspective about that. I was always so concerned 302 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: with it that was always a risk of worry, when 303 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: quite clearly James Comey did fall in love with his 304 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: own virtue, did decide that he knew better than the rules, 305 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: the rules that he would have expected every FBI agent 306 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: below him, every person working in federal law enforcement to follow, 307 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: He no longer had to follow Hi. Just in case 308 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: there's any any doubt about this, when you look at 309 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: the Inspector General report that came out today, the conclusions 310 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: at the closing, they talk about things like quote Comy's 311 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: improper disclosure of Memos two, four, six, and seven to 312 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: his attorneys. Here's what they write. Comy told the OIG 313 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: that he shared copies of Memos two, four, six, and 314 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: seven with his attorneys to obtain legal representation in connection 315 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: with his removal as FBI Director and any post removal 316 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: legal issues that might arise. However, Comy was not authorized 317 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: to provide these memos to his attorneys without prior approval 318 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: from or coordination with, the FBI. Goes on here. This 319 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: is under Appendix C, page sixty two. Comy failed to 320 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: immediately alert the FBI to the unauthorized disclosure of classified information. 321 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: On June seven, twenty seventeen, call Me learned of the 322 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: FBI's classification decision regarding Memo two when the FBI allowed 323 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: him to review copies of all seven memos with classification 324 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: banners and marketings in preparation for his June eight, twenty 325 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: seventeen congressional testimony. Once he knew that the FBI had 326 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 1: classified portions of Memo two, Comy failed to immediately notify 327 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: the FBI that he had previously given Memo two to 328 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: his attorneys. It just goes on. I mean, this is 329 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: a guy and this is the Let me just give 330 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: you the closing paragraph of this whole IG report really 331 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: put it into perspective. We have previously faulted Comy for 332 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: acting unilaterally and inconsistently with Department policy. Coomy's unauthorized disclosure 333 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: of sensitive law enforcement information about the Flynn investigation merits 334 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: similar criticism. In a country built on the rule of law, 335 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: it is of utmost importance that all FBI employees inherited 336 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,959 Speaker 1: department in FBI policies, particularly when confronted by what appeared 337 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: to be extraordinary circumstances or compelling personal convictions. Comy had 338 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: several other lawful options available to him to advocate for 339 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: the appointment of a special council, which he told us 340 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: was his goal in making the disclosure. What was not 341 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive investigation information obtained 342 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: during the course of FBI employment in order to achieve 343 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: a personally desired outcome. The OIG has provided this report 344 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: to the FBI and the Department of Justice Office of 345 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: Professional Responsibility for action they deem appropriate. My friends. Comy 346 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: told us all along that he did everything exactly the 347 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: way that he should have that it was all fine, 348 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: that he was proud of how he acted in this 349 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: whole process. It was the FBI director he didn't know. 350 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: You don't take memos home with you just because you 351 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: feel like it. Now we get into the broader question. 352 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: Do the rules in this country apply to those who 353 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 1: are in power? Do the rules apply to those who 354 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: hold what are considered the correct beliefs within the institutions 355 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: that wield that power, And the correct beliefs are always 356 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: left of center right. Depending on the institution, it might 357 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: be a little bit to the left. But the federal 358 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: bureaucracy is an organ of the institutional left and the 359 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: Democratic Party in this country. There are a lot of Republicans, 360 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: a lot of Conservatives who work in the federal bureaucracy. 361 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: They don't run it. They aren't the ones who will 362 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: call out for Hatch Act investigations and decide that somebody 363 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: needs to be punished as a warning to the others. Overwhelmingly, 364 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: it is the case that bureaucrats are democrats, and the 365 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: bureaucrats that want to wield power for political purposes have 366 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: leftist leanings. We have been told so much in the 367 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: era of Trump that the big threat we really face 368 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: is the possibility of the erosion of public trust and 369 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: our institutions. And they keep telling us that Trump is 370 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: the one who erodes all that trust. Let's look at 371 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: the scoreboard. Was it Trump's fault that Comey and the 372 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: FBI decided to break protocol and give an unbelievably favorable 373 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: decision to Hillary Clinton about prosecution for misuse of classified information? 374 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: Was that Trump's fault? Is it Trump's fault that It 375 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: is very likely, as I have been telling you, that 376 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: Annie McCabe is despite lying. They know he lied, they 377 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: know why he lied, and they got him multiple times 378 00:24:54,840 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: lying with criminal jeopardy attached to such such falsehoods. Are 379 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: we going to be surprised when they decide to just 380 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: give a really mean letter to McCabe instead of criminal prosecution. 381 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: Look at what other people get sent away for. Look 382 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: at what they will bring charges for. They sent thirty 383 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: guys in to Roger Stone's house in tac Care with 384 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: long guns because they say that he lied about a 385 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: communication that was legal over email or over tech or 386 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: over Twitter or something. He lied about something that isn't important, 387 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: and they made it look like they were going after 388 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: bin Laden. Oh but oh, but if you lie, you 389 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: undermine the very system of justice. If you lie, you 390 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: do an affront to the United States government. Okay, but 391 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: what about McCabe. Why should he skate? And I know 392 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: that he might not. I might have to come back 393 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: and say, Wow, it's surprised the actually our bringing charges. 394 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: But I bet money they won't. They're not bringing charges 395 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: against Comy. He's already out of the FBI. But we 396 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: were told all along that the big problem would be 397 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: that we would lose faith in these institutions. I'm here 398 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 1: to tell you that the problem that I see is 399 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: that we have too much faith in some of these institutions. 400 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: We don't ask enough questions, We aren't willing to grapple 401 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 1: with the increasingly obvious reality that these institutions have individuals 402 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: at very senior positions who view the power that they 403 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: are supposed to wield on behalf of the American people 404 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: and the rule of law as an opportunity to fight 405 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: for their team, to even the score for their side. 406 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: This was the case with Sally Yates, with Andy McKay, 407 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: with Jim Comey, with Peter Struck, with Lisa Page, with 408 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 1: Jim Clapper, with John Brennan, all of them. They're not 409 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: supposed to say, I'm the CIA director, I'm the FBI director, 410 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: and therefore I'm gonna break protocol, I'm gonna break rules. 411 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: Maybe even laws will find out one day who leaked 412 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: the Flynn conversation. Somebody created somebody committed a felony there. 413 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: And it wasn't some random guy who worked in the 414 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 1: mail room. I can assure you, someone very high up 415 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: the government food chain decided that they had an opportunity 416 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: to take out one of the most despised Trump allies 417 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: and a very important one for the implementation of his policies, 418 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: General Flynn, on national security side, and they broke the law. 419 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: You know what, I'm sure they would say, whoever it is, 420 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: when they're caught, if they're caught, which I unfortunately think 421 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: will not happen, say I had to do it. Trump 422 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: is a clear and present danger to this country. Well, 423 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: what we really have evidence of is that the clear 424 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: and present danger to this country are the people that 425 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: think that they have a right that they take unto 426 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: themselves to break the law, to break rules, to break protocol, 427 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: to break trust. It should be for a government official 428 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: like James Comey, a sacred feeling to be in the 429 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: Oval office and advising and working with and speaking to 430 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: the President United States. I don't care who the president is. Instead, 431 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 1: James Comey is writing these memos and taking them home 432 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: and creating a little opo file. That's what this was, 433 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: an opposition file, compromat. The Russians would have called it. 434 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: That's what the KGB would have said. This was got 435 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: to keep those documents handy, not because there was anything 436 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: illegal that he could have charged the President with, but 437 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: because he wanted to spin a narrative, that's right, a 438 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: narrative in the media to hurt the president politically. Who 439 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: fired James Comey and was entirely justified in doing so. 440 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: People have been prosecuted for much less. That was that 441 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: sailor who was prosecuted for taking a photo of a 442 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: classified area of a submarine. He should have known better, 443 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,479 Speaker 1: but the photo was deleted, no one ever saw it. 444 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: I want to send me to prison for a year. Papadopoulos, 445 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: under extreme pressure from Muller's team of obviously anti Trump zealots, 446 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: either misremembered or told the minor lie about when he 447 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: had a communication that wasn't illegal, that didn't mean anything, 448 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: and they made him go to prison for two weeks. 449 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: And now he's a convicted felon. I already talked about 450 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: what they did to Roger Stone. Look at what happens. 451 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: They wanted to ruin Scooter Libby, Coomy's buddy, his lawyer. 452 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald knew that Libby didn't leak any covert agent's name. 453 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: He knew that Armitage accidentally, as the story goes, let 454 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: it slip. And they decided to just put as many 455 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: Bush officials through the ringer as possible. Why because they 456 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: wanted to get one and they figured they'd find somebody 457 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: who had there was a fact discrepancy, there was an 458 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: opening to say that a crime was committed, and they'd 459 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: make the case. And Bush because the Iraq War was 460 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: in a moment of extreme unpopularity and political peril, and 461 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: they wanted to take scood Or Libby, who was the 462 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: President's National security advisor, and lock him up for a 463 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: couple of years in federal prison, take away his law license. 464 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: Connected felon for what? For what? Tell me who the 465 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: Democrat is? Tell me who the person that the establishment? 466 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: The establishment meeting the Democrat establishment in politics. Find me 467 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: one name of somebody who was treated roughly by the 468 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: justice system who is actually anti Trump. You can't. And 469 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: I just sat here and ran through all these names 470 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: of people that we're not given any kind of leniency, 471 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: no mercy, no you know, do better next time. And 472 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: in some cases I think we're set up. I think 473 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: General Flynn was set up. Sally Yates created a completely pretextual, 474 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: nonsensical excuse to send some FBI agents in to talk 475 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: to him about a conversation that he was completely within 476 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: his rights to have. And then, in order to make 477 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: this a big scandal, the information was leaked about the 478 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: conversation to the press. And now we know they're able 479 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: to take out General Flynn. This is how the other 480 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: side plays the game. We've seen it now. James Comey's 481 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: a fraud. He's pretended all along to be a just 482 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: by the book guy, and he has done so many 483 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: things in exactly the opposite manner. He has chosen to 484 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 1: take his own judgment in lieu of the law, and 485 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: that is a betrayal of the very justice system that 486 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: he claims to have served for so many decades. It's 487 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: not up to James Colemey to think, oh, I can 488 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: do this even though the REGs say otherwise. It's not 489 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: up to James come to decide that the election in 490 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen shouldn't count, should be undone. That's what he did. 491 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: That was his decision making. He's not really going to 492 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: be held to account for. But just remember how many 493 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: times you have been lied to about all of these 494 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: anti Trump government figures. Who I would know it were 495 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: tied to the Obama administration. We don't hear enough about that. 496 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: We should hear substantially more. And I still want to 497 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: know in this whole process, what did Obama no? What 498 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: did Obama know when the FBI director was going to 499 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: stand in front of the American people and decide that 500 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton wouldn't face charges, which was not his job. 501 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: What did Obama know when James Comey was going home 502 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: putting these memos in his own personal safe in preparation 503 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: for what was going to be a public media enabled 504 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: anti Trump propaganda campaign. If you're James Comy, you don't 505 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: think you're gonna want a powerful ally on your side. 506 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: You don't think you're gonna tell anybody else about this? Well, 507 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: he'd certainly told his lawyers about it. You know that 508 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,239 Speaker 1: that he was planning to go after the president in 509 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: some way before and then after the presidents Right, these 510 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: meetings occurred in January twenty seventeen. What did Obama know 511 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: in October of twenty sixteen about what Comey's thoughts were 512 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: about Trump? Are we to assume that Comy just went 513 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: anti Trump later on in the process. I don't buy it. 514 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: All right, we've got more. I'll be right back, no 515 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,240 Speaker 1: doubt in my mind. But that doesn't mean I'm against 516 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: review of it. That's totally fine. Do you think the 517 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: Inspector General will find nothing inappropriate? I don't think so, 518 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 1: at least not that I know of. But if they do, 519 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: they do, and they should be transparent about it. Again, 520 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in the truth. If the truth 521 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: is there was something concerning, then let's hear it. I 522 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: don't know of anything like that. There was a lot concerning, 523 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 1: and now we know or was inappropriate behavior, improper behavior, 524 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: unethical behavior from James Coomy. Another time here where we 525 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: have to find out eventually that someone who's a great 526 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: resistance anti Trump hero is a fraud and a fake, 527 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: not do we pretended to be Maybe maybe there's a 528 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: lesson in that. Maybe we should keep that in mind 529 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: going forward. By the way, there was a video I 530 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: saw that they a fox and he was talking about 531 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: video from the from a two thousand and five police 532 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: rate of Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. And the home 533 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,720 Speaker 1: was just strewn decorated all over the place with images 534 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: of what we're described as naked young women all over 535 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 1: this home. I am curious. Did the people that visited 536 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: this home not think that was a bit weird. We're 537 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: to believe, you know, all these people that spend this 538 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 1: time with Epstein tell us they didn't know anything weird 539 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: was going on. This guy has naked young women adorning 540 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: his home on the walls. No one thought that there 541 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,879 Speaker 1: was something up here. How many of you would would 542 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: go over and hang out at someone's home if they 543 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: had pictures of young naked girls all over the place. 544 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: I think the answer is zero. I'm gonna stay on 545 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: this Epstein case. I'll be back. Last night on this show, 546 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: I discussed information that wasn't for reporting. I repeated statements 547 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: a single source told me about the president's finances and 548 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: loan documents with Deutsche Bank, saying if true, as I discussed, 549 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 1: the information was simply not good enough. I did not 550 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: go through the rigorous verification and standards process here at 551 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 1: MSNBC before repeating what I heard from my source. Had 552 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: it gone through that process, I would not have been 553 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: permitted to report it. I should not have said it 554 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: on air or posted it on Twitter. I was wrong 555 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 1: to do so. This afternoon, attorneys for the President sent 556 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: us a letter asserting the story is false. They also 557 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: demanded a retraction tonight. We are retracting the story. We 558 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: don't know whether the information is inaccurate, but the fact 559 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 1: is we do know it wasn't ready for broadcast, and 560 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: for that I apologize. All right, close, but no cigar 561 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: here from Lord's O'Donnell close still what he should do. 562 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: They've retracted the story obviously, right. I mean, you know, 563 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: if they're going to not retract a story that's so 564 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: blatantly flimsy and its sourcing not up to standards, not 565 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 1: up to par, then we all know that the whole 566 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: thing's a joke. But the problem is CNN and MSNBC. 567 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,839 Speaker 1: They've been doing this time and time again, and at 568 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,320 Speaker 1: some point as I mentioned you yesterday. The retraction is 569 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,719 Speaker 1: not enough at some point. It's it's not enough to 570 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: just say, oh, well, well, we'll do better next time. 571 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:36,919 Speaker 1: If you keep on producing anti Trump stories that are 572 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: not in fact accurate, people are going to question your objectivity. 573 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: And in the case of these major news networks, they 574 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: shouldn't question it. They should know that it's not there. 575 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 1: There is, There is no objectivity. But I like this, 576 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: this standard. This reminds me of the post Muller investigation 577 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: delusion that so many of the left have, where they'll say, okay, well, 578 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: just because you know, we just because we couldn't prove 579 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: that that Trump colluded with Russia, it doesn't mean that 580 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: he didn't collude with Russia. Right, just because we weren't 581 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: able to get him with the Muller probe doesn't mean 582 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: that Congress doesn't have a role now in trying to, 583 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: you know, figure this out, find out what exactly the 584 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,880 Speaker 1: collusion was. And you know, essentially, you know, you can't 585 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: you can't prove that, I can't prove it. That's what 586 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: they're saying. You can't find a way to make this thing. 587 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: You know, you can't find a way to make this 588 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: impossible to be true, and so if you can't make 589 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: it impossible to be true, then the standard will be 590 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna pretend like maybe it could be true. Horrible, 591 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: horrible stuff. But this is what they do. This is 592 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: how the left, how the left wing media does their 593 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: business these days. Now, I don't want to just switch 594 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 1: gears for a moment here to uh Maddis. And you know, 595 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,399 Speaker 1: I don't know General Mattis. There's some people that wore 596 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: the uniform and had three or four stars on their 597 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: shoulder that I that I came across professionally when I 598 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,240 Speaker 1: was in the CIA and sat in briefings with UM, 599 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,439 Speaker 1: got a sense of who they were, what they knew, 600 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 1: you know how, how on top of their game they 601 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: were at any given time. I never met Maddis. I 602 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 1: didn't know. But I do find this a little bit, uh, 603 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: a little bit disappointing. Now he's allowed to speak out 604 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: against commander in chief. He's a private citizen. Now that's fine, 605 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: and I don't. And it goes that saying I think 606 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 1: you all listening to show know this. I've I do 607 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: have a deep and real, a tremendous respect for the 608 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 1: United States military for people who serve. I was up 609 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: close and personal with that service as a CIA analyst 610 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,439 Speaker 1: deploying to a Rock and Afghanistan. There were men many 611 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,719 Speaker 1: times where I trusted my life to men and women 612 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,520 Speaker 1: in uniform in the war zones, trusted my safety to them, 613 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, flying around in blackhawks, you know, driving around 614 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 1: in humvees, and it was that was something you don't 615 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 1: ever forget right, And you know, I was in a 616 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: position to defend myself, but I was relying on them 617 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: to be the first line of defense and then some always. 618 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: So it's with that said that that doesn't mean that 619 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: I can't disagree with Mattis on something, you know, just 620 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: because someone served that I think that this also you 621 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,879 Speaker 1: see this a lot with people when they will talk 622 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 1: about the John McCain's political record, I'll say, oh, but 623 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: his service to his country. I would never criticize his 624 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 1: service to his country. And I did not approve of 625 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,839 Speaker 1: or think it was okay when when Trump went after 626 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 1: a serve. I didn't like that. But I also think 627 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: it's not fair that because John McCain served, when you're 628 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 1: speaking about his political record and decisions he made, you 629 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: can't criticize them I think that's wrong. I think there 630 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: are a lot of people who serve, and if we 631 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,279 Speaker 1: can't criticize their politics separate from their service, obviously no 632 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: one's criticizing anyone's military service. You can't criticize their politics, 633 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: then where does that stop and start? What are the 634 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 1: outer limits of that new approach to all these things? 635 00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: And so with that that, I see that you've got 636 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,280 Speaker 1: Maddis going around now. He's got a book call signed Chaos, 637 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,760 Speaker 1: Learning to Lead. And look, I think you know Maddis, 638 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't know him until some of you listen maybe 639 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: work with him, knowing much better than I do. I'm 640 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 1: always a little suspicious. I was always suspicious of Petraeus, 641 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: just because I knew, and that I knew more firsthand 642 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: that he was cultivating a reputation for himself and had 643 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: aspirations and politics. And you know, Maddis is not shy 644 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 1: about liking the media, liking the press, and liking the spotlight. 645 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 1: I think that's that's been fair to say. And you 646 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: know he's out there now giving interviews in support of 647 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,239 Speaker 1: this book, and he's talking about things like he gave 648 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,480 Speaker 1: an interview The Atlantic where he said, quote the next 649 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: day this is about meeting a meeting with Trump in 650 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: the Oval Office, and he says, this is what happened. 651 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: The next day with Trump in the Oval Office, Mattis 652 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 1: made his case for keeping troops in Syria. Trump rejected 653 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: his arguments. Thirty minutes into the conversation, Mattis told the President, 654 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: you're going to have to get the next Secretary of 655 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,439 Speaker 1: Defense to lose to isis. I'm not going to do it. 656 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: He handed Trump his resignation letter, a letter that would 657 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 1: soon become one of the most famous documents of the 658 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: Trump presidency so far. Mattis's interview also touched on things 659 00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: like quote, he found the president to be of limited 660 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:42,320 Speaker 1: cognitive ability and of generally dubious character end quote. Mattis 661 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 1: declined to directly criticize the President for the most part, 662 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 1: citing a duty of silence he owed the administration. He 663 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 1: warned this will not be permanent, saying, quote, there is 664 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: a period in which I owe my silence. It's not eternal. 665 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: It's not going to be forever. Well, he's not being 666 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 1: silent right now, so I don't That part of it 667 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 1: for me was a little bit confused. Um, he's not 668 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,719 Speaker 1: being silent right now and to say, you know, to 669 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,280 Speaker 1: say that the presidence of generally dubi's character and limited 670 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,919 Speaker 1: cognitive ability. First of all, we're all of limited cognitive ability, 671 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure that's a particularly descript that that's 672 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,760 Speaker 1: a backhanded way of saying he thinks that Trump is stupid, 673 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: that's what he's saying, or a more subtle way of 674 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,399 Speaker 1: saying he thinks the Trump is stupid. And I keep 675 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: coming back this, how exactly is It's not just that 676 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: Trump became president. He didn't have a dad. Look, Bush 677 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,400 Speaker 1: had a very different pathway to the presidency than than Trump. 678 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: Let's not let's not delude ourselves, all right, Plenty of 679 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 1: people have had very different steps up in politics as 680 00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: a result of a family name or you know. Trump 681 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: did this on his own, and he beat the Clinton 682 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: machine with all the media behind it. It's a remarkable feat. 683 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: We're really to believe that Trump is stupid. I'm not. 684 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: He's not he's not bookish, he's not an intellectual. But 685 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna believe that. I'm sorry, I reject that the 686 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: president to stupid. I do not think that there's any 687 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a reasonable position to hold he's 688 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 1: clearly politically gifted. He's a gifted communicator. He has instincts 689 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: that are amazingly useful in politics as well as in business. 690 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: You know what we would have called back in the 691 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 1: day here at NYC Street Smots Trump Scott street Smots, 692 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 1: you know, and that means a lot, and maybe having 693 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,760 Speaker 1: a presidency with street Smarts is something that this country 694 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: needed at this point. And I don't want to have 695 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: to go there, but I'm gonna have to go there, 696 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: you know. With Mattis, again, this is not about his 697 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: military service. That was incredible and we thank him for that, 698 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: and he's an honorable warrior, thank you, sir. But if 699 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about Maddis's ability to assess someone's character, he 700 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: was one of the go to defenders, and this is 701 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: a matter of public record, folks, one of the go 702 00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: to defenders of Pharaonos c Elizabeth holmes Is character. At 703 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 1: times when people were really questioning whether Tharno's this blood 704 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: testing company that was that raised eight hundred million dollars 705 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 1: from investors and had a multi billion dollar valuation, it 706 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: was a huge fraud. It was the investor equivalent of 707 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:24,399 Speaker 1: a Ponzi scheme. Elizabeth Holmes is a weirdo. That's a 708 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,439 Speaker 1: total weirdo who was playing people like a fiddle left 709 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: and right. And Maddis was the person who was vouching, 710 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 1: saying that he had looked into her soul and YadA YadA, 711 00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: and he vouched for her character. So does he really 712 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:42,880 Speaker 1: understand Trump? I don't know. I don't think so, and 713 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm disappointed to see that at the current moment he's 714 00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: coming out and saying, oh, I won't really go after 715 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 1: the present, but I'm gonna kind of go after him 716 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,439 Speaker 1: when my book is out there. Mannis is a good man. 717 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 1: I think he's making a mistake here. That's how I feel. 718 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 1: This is his standard go too. This is what he 719 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,160 Speaker 1: knows is absolute red meat to his base. It's what 720 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,480 Speaker 1: gets them riled up and keeps them distracted from the 721 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 1: fact that more and more economists are telling us that 722 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: we may be headed into a recession. Putting Donald Trump 723 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: in the Oval office is may well wreck the American economy. 724 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: You know, these trade wars that he's engaging in with 725 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,760 Speaker 1: China are costing people jobs in Iowa and other places. 726 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, this is his old standby Castro. 727 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: I hope is the next the next candidate who's going 728 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 1: to have to drop out? Because while I've made it 729 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: very clear that Beto, in my opinion, is the worst 730 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,000 Speaker 1: Betto is the worst candidate of all the Democrats that 731 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 1: are still out there, Castro is certainly at that. And 732 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: now we don't have Jilla Brand anymore. Makes me very sad. 733 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 1: Now we no longer have Jila Brand, but I would 734 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: it just makes me sad because it's been fun to 735 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: make fun of her. I'm Jilla Brand. You know, she 736 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,320 Speaker 1: was really really like the she was like the peppie 737 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: ex wife that you just never wanted to hear from. Again, 738 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 1: I'm Jilah Brand. Uh. Yeah. It was a lot of 739 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 1: lecturing from her, and not not a good thing. Um, 740 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 1: she's a little bit like a young version of Hillary. 741 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,400 Speaker 1: I got it that. That's the way I think of 742 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 1: her voice. So that's kind of instead of hollow, it's 743 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: a little more like hello. You know, it's like a 744 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 1: little less old and old and crusty in the voice, 745 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:34,800 Speaker 1: but it's still there. There's still the same same shrill, 746 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:40,320 Speaker 1: annoying entitlement that is. That is the case with Hillary, 747 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,239 Speaker 1: is the case with Jilla Brand. I gotta tell you, 748 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking for a long time. I was of 749 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: the mind that Hillary would probably become the candidate um 750 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 1: eventually for the Democrats, because they just she would do it. 751 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean, that's let's let's be clear about this. Hillary 752 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:02,840 Speaker 1: would definitely sign on. I believe that Hillary was willing 753 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 1: to be the consensus candidate because ultimately, the only way, 754 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 1: the only way that you can set right in the 755 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 1: liberal mind, what went wrong in the twenty sixteen election 756 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 1: would be to have a redo, and a redo in 757 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: which Hillary won the only way, the only way you 758 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,839 Speaker 1: can do it right. But it looks like that's not 759 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: going to happen. That's a little bit frustrating. Okay, fine, 760 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,839 Speaker 1: but now we see one of the storylines that are 761 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,319 Speaker 1: coming to theories that the economy is going to tank 762 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 1: because of Trump. Now they tried this in speaking of 763 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 1: a redo of the election. This is what Castro was saying, 764 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,919 Speaker 1: if Trump is president, the economical tank. Meanwhile, Trump has 765 00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: been president and the economy has not been tanking. In fact, 766 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 1: quite the opposite, economy has been strong. It has been 767 00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: going very very well. So in what world, in what 768 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 1: universe does it make any sense for the left to 769 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,919 Speaker 1: come out and claim that Trump is going to ruin 770 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 1: the economy when he's already been in office, he's been 771 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: the guy in charge and things are going great. It's 772 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,840 Speaker 1: it's like, don't listen to me, you know, don't listen 773 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,360 Speaker 1: to what you hear. Don't listen to your lying years. 774 00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 1: Listen to what I say. This seems to be the 775 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: pitch that Democrats have come up with it because there's 776 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,800 Speaker 1: a desperation. They know that absent a recession, there is 777 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:37,440 Speaker 1: a very high likelihood, just based on history, based on 778 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,240 Speaker 1: all the numbers, a very high likelihood that Trump gets 779 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: reelected absent a recession. That's a very real thing. And 780 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 1: so they're going to come up with some way. They're 781 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 1: going to come up with some narrative in the meantime that, oh, 782 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: there's not a recession yet, but just wait, just wait. 783 00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,600 Speaker 1: There will be a recession. It's coming, that's for sure. 784 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 1: But you know, believe them, that's what they're asking you. 785 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,919 Speaker 1: Oh just now, will this continue to work in six months? 786 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, but you're gonna you're gonna hear this 787 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 1: up until election day. What does Castro, by the way, 788 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 1: what does he know about recessions or about anything else. 789 00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: The problems Democrats have is that they don't none of 790 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 1: the candidates who sound like reasonable people can appeal the left, 791 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 1: so they can't get out of the primary. And the 792 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: person that's supposed to be I mean, they'll say Castro 793 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,399 Speaker 1: is an open borders guy. Castro was the guy who 794 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 1: not only wants to decriminalize illegal crossings of the border, 795 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,839 Speaker 1: which is completely insane, he also is the individual who 796 00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: wanted the I mean, it's sorry to believe he's the 797 00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:52,680 Speaker 1: one who wanted taxpayer funded abortions for transgender individuals. He 798 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,800 Speaker 1: was the one that went to that to that length recently, 799 00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 1: which again, it's just absolutely nuts. It's just nuts for 800 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: him to say that, But he said it, and the 801 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,959 Speaker 1: Democrats didn't really seem to have much of a problem 802 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: with it. They're of the belief that, yeah, sure, you know, 803 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,920 Speaker 1: he's probably a little bit out of bound sometimes, but 804 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,400 Speaker 1: that's where we are here with Castro. But they got Biden. 805 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:23,160 Speaker 1: Biden's supposed to be the return to normalcy, and yet 806 00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,480 Speaker 1: this guy cannot go. First of all, that they've tried 807 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: to scale back his schedule. They tried to scale back 808 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 1: his schedule because they feel like later in the day 809 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: he's more. This is real, this has been reported. I'm 810 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 1: not I'm not imagining this. Later in the day, he 811 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,240 Speaker 1: is more likely to make gaffs because he's tired, because 812 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:46,160 Speaker 1: he's too old. That's they won't say that part of it, 813 00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,240 Speaker 1: but that's what's really going on. Because he's too old. 814 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 1: They don't go beyond that. Excellent, they won't say more 815 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: than that. They'll just say, yeah, he wants to have 816 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 1: He shouldn't have things later on the day. He wants 817 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 1: to have them earlier on because of that. And it's 818 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,880 Speaker 1: because every seems like about every two days now, Biden 819 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 1: says something that is just a wow moment. Oh well, 820 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:18,760 Speaker 1: Biden's gone and done it again. Why are economically distress 821 00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 1: who help? No? No, yeah, that's what he wants. Social worst, 822 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,200 Speaker 1: going to teach them how to raise their children. I mean, 823 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like to me. Do you think 824 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,680 Speaker 1: if maybe you might even say, oh, but buck, some 825 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,439 Speaker 1: people do need to learn more, or there's some role 826 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,799 Speaker 1: of the state and trying to Okay, but do you 827 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 1: think a Republican would ever get away with saying something 828 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,800 Speaker 1: like that. Biden is just a walking, talking political liability 829 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party and yet he's way ahead in 830 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,600 Speaker 1: the polls. Still, you have to sit back and ask 831 00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:06,359 Speaker 1: yourself about half the country or Democrats at least by registration, right, 832 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I know people say, oh, buck, no, there's 833 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: more conservatives, Republican, fine, whatever, it's it's close to half 834 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: the country is reddish your Democrat? Okay, Biden's the best 835 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: they've got. This is who they're offering up to take 836 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 1: on Trump. I think that they must know, they must 837 00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 1: know deep down that this is that his campaign is 838 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 1: doomed to failure. But I don't know. Maybe I'm maybe 839 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 1: I'm missing something. You know, there is this part of 840 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,360 Speaker 1: me that keeps thinking, given what happened in twenty sixteen, 841 00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,600 Speaker 1: perhaps we have to approach all politics from the mindset 842 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 1: of anything is possible, anything could happen, right Biden? Maybe 843 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,319 Speaker 1: you know, Joe Biden just gets the job done. I 844 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,440 Speaker 1: don't think that's possible. But look, it's it's a crazy 845 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,319 Speaker 1: world we live, and it really is. There's all kinds 846 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 1: of crazy stuff going on, So who knows, Folks, I'll 847 00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. If that's for sure, We'll be 848 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 1: right back, my friends. I want to tell you about 849 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:06,359 Speaker 1: de foi Gras wars that is coming. Yes, you may 850 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 1: not have heard of this, but it is a real problem. 851 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:13,719 Speaker 1: My friends. De foi gras may be banned here in 852 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 1: the city called New York. You may not be able 853 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,320 Speaker 1: to partise. Now. I see the problem. My French accent 854 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 1: is it turns into a Russian accent sometimes. And I 855 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,360 Speaker 1: haven't even had anything to drink. If I had a 856 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 1: little bit of vodka going, that would be an acceptable situation, 857 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:31,359 Speaker 1: but I have not. And so this is where we are. 858 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: New York City. May ban may follow in California's footsteps. 859 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 1: California's already done this before. California's banned plastic bags. They 860 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 1: like to ban things. We're gonna ban it, but they're 861 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: looking at ban foi gras. For those who don't know, 862 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: foi gras is a delicacy and it has been somewhat controversial, 863 00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:00,840 Speaker 1: especially in animal rights activists circles for a while because 864 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: the way and it can be either goose or duck 865 00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,439 Speaker 1: foi gras. I will tell you I prefer the duck, 866 00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 1: but I will eat the goose foigra. I'll do either. 867 00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,759 Speaker 1: But the way that it works is they take this, uh, 868 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 1: they take let's talk about it with the duck foigra 869 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: because that's the best. And Hudson Valley, New York, a 870 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 1: place that I know very well. My grandparents had a 871 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,359 Speaker 1: home up there for many many years. Hudson Valley, New York, 872 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 1: is famous for it's fois gras, right, it is a famous, 873 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:35,239 Speaker 1: famous locale for foi gras. And if it is, if 874 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,200 Speaker 1: it's banned there. I think they said there's fifteen I 875 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,839 Speaker 1: think they said fifteen million. Yeah, fifteen million dollars of 876 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 1: fois gras is sold. I don't know if that was 877 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: nationwide or just to New York every year, but it's 878 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a real business. There's real money 879 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 1: at stake and for a lot of people, for a 880 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: lot of farms, this is a do or die situation, 881 00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,880 Speaker 1: you know. Um yeah, last year, I'm sorry, Hudson Valley, 882 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,520 Speaker 1: is this one This one place found in a nineteen 883 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 1: ninety slaughters about eight hundred fouag Grad ducks every day. 884 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,399 Speaker 1: Last year, it's sold about fifteen million dollars of foua 885 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 1: grad restaurants and distributors. So that's just one place. Wow, 886 00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 1: I guess foag grads a much bigger business. The fifteen 887 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:21,439 Speaker 1: million dollars anyway, people like this fatty duck liver. That's 888 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 1: what it is. They take the duck and they force 889 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,800 Speaker 1: feed it a high fat corn feed. They put a 890 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,600 Speaker 1: it's it's like a put a hose. It's like a 891 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 1: thin hose they put in the duck's throat, and the 892 00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 1: and the liver of the duck turns a kind of 893 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 1: translucent yellow and becomes about the size they say, of 894 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: a it should be able to fit in the palm 895 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 1: of your hand, a duck liver, but it becomes about 896 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,359 Speaker 1: the size of a of a human brain over the 897 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:52,319 Speaker 1: course of this this feeding process, so the liver gets very, 898 00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 1: very large and fatty. It's it's you know, fatty liver. 899 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,319 Speaker 1: Disease is the thing that people can suffer from. But 900 00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: this is like a fatty liver in the duck. The 901 00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,359 Speaker 1: thing is, if you see it properly and put like 902 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,440 Speaker 1: a cherry compote on it, it's delicious. Brucer Mark, do 903 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,960 Speaker 1: you like fagra? I don't really like liver. That's fair. 904 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,279 Speaker 1: Why am I telling you this is not just so 905 00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,280 Speaker 1: I can do a weird French accent and talk about 906 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,960 Speaker 1: foagras because I'm hungry. This is going to lead to 907 00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,479 Speaker 1: a whole lot more if they get this band through 908 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: based solely on how this is inhumane. That is the 909 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 1: approach they're taking. They're saying that this is an inhumane thing. 910 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 1: If they are successful in doing that, what's to stop 911 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 1: them from saying that factory farm chickens are also raised 912 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:46,280 Speaker 1: and killed in an inhumane fashion. And you're going to 913 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 1: see more of this. You're going to see these activists, 914 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,560 Speaker 1: these animal rights activists who are always politically left. I've 915 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 1: never met an animal rights activist who wasn't. Also, you know, 916 00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 1: either a Hilary or any Sanders voter who probably drives 917 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:04,760 Speaker 1: a Prius and there's usually a degree. And by the way, 918 00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, I love animals. I love dogs particularly, but 919 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 1: I love animals in general. But I also think of 920 00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,200 Speaker 1: human beings are meant to eat animals, and I think 921 00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 1: that ultimately, you know, we don't want to be unnecessarily cruel. Ever, 922 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,040 Speaker 1: you don't want to inflict pain for the sake of 923 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: pain ever, U But you do start getting into this 924 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 1: this gray zone of well what is acceptable? You know, 925 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: they they've banned for a long time. I forget what 926 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 1: it's called, but a small bird in Brandy, uh that 927 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 1: was a delicacy for Orto lawns. There we go, the 928 00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 1: Orto lawns. This was when they would take a little 929 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:47,800 Speaker 1: songbird and they would pluck out its eyes and drown 930 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:55,040 Speaker 1: the bird in arm armagnac and marinated in this this 931 00:58:55,160 --> 00:59:00,240 Speaker 1: liqueur and then it is roasted and then plucked. Yeah, 932 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 1: and this goes back to ancient Rome. So people like 933 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 1: like this this orderlan thing, and that's been outlawed for 934 00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 1: a while because they cruelty. They're trying to get foil gron. 935 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 1: It's outlawed in California. You can't get foil grown California anymore. 936 00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,560 Speaker 1: But I'm telling you next is going to come. The 937 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 1: factory farming is cruel and there's gonna be a real 938 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,960 Speaker 1: political movement on the left about this. And look at 939 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,040 Speaker 1: how they're they're they're coming after your food in a 940 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:25,800 Speaker 1: bunch of ways. They're coming after your food because they 941 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:31,720 Speaker 1: say the climate change footprint is too large. They're coming 942 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:37,000 Speaker 1: after your food because they're saying that it's it's cruel. 943 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: It's essentially cruel and unusual punishment against animals, and they 944 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 1: want to control more and more aspects of your life. 945 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,040 Speaker 1: I do think that also with the beyond meat success, 946 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: and they have all these meat substitutes. We've talked a 947 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 1: bit about this. You're going to see a greater push 948 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:56,480 Speaker 1: because it's never gonna taste as good. And all of 949 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 1: you already know that your barbecue, your burger, that's just 950 01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,080 Speaker 1: it's just more delicious than whatever they can make in 951 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: a test tube somewhere. We're no, we are nowhere close 952 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:10,400 Speaker 1: to creating meat substitutes that if someone is okay with 953 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,960 Speaker 1: eating meat, they would choose based on taste. And I'm 954 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 1: willing to try it. I'm going to try the different things. 955 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 1: We are nowhere in the in the stratosphere of that 956 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,720 Speaker 1: being the case, we are in fact going to be 957 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,400 Speaker 1: told that we have to eat this much less delicious 958 01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,280 Speaker 1: stuff because it's better for the environment, or in this case, 959 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 1: because they're so mean to animals. It's so mean to 960 01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 1: the animals. You know, if you're gonna eat animals, there's 961 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 1: going to be violence. There's going to be there's going 962 01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,320 Speaker 1: to be the killing of the animal, unless you're gonna, 963 01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, go real caveman style, and you know, they 964 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 1: try to take a bite out of the animal while 965 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,000 Speaker 1: it's you know, still flopping around on the boat or 966 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: something that's not a good idea. You know that. I 967 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:52,720 Speaker 1: heard a story from a fly fishing guide a long 968 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,280 Speaker 1: time ago who said that he went fishing with a 969 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: bunch of Russians and they like to they would actually 970 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 1: take the salmon and eat the row that they with. 971 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:03,439 Speaker 1: The salmon would still be flopping around on the shore 972 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:08,120 Speaker 1: and they would create an incision across the bell, or 973 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 1: they would slit the belly and then they would eat 974 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,840 Speaker 1: salmon row right out of the fish producer mark how 975 01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: much money would have to pay you to have you 976 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 1: do that? A lot? Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's 977 01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 1: very very salty, so if you like salty things, but 978 01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 1: I don't like super salty stuff. So I'm telling you 979 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna come after. You're gonna see that. 980 01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,080 Speaker 1: And the movement is there. I think they are going 981 01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 1: to ban FOI ground New York, and then they'll be 982 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,640 Speaker 1: a push to bannon in other cities across and other 983 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,480 Speaker 1: blue areas of the country for shore where this is 984 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 1: a delicacy of that people actually eat, and it's going 985 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 1: to affect people. Look, you're you're gonna have farms that 986 01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 1: I'll go out of business. Hundreds of people lose their 987 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 1: livelihoods because they think they're being a little a little 988 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 1: rough with the goose and the last thirty days of life. 989 01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,760 Speaker 1: There are veterinarians who say this is cruel. They're veterinarians 990 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,440 Speaker 1: who say all factory farming is cruel. And there's some 991 01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,240 Speaker 1: who say that you know, this is the circle of life. 992 01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,520 Speaker 1: So take your pick, folks, But I'm telling you they're 993 01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 1: coming after your burger. You are now entering the Freedom 994 01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:09,520 Speaker 1: had kind of operation center. All sensitive programs money cans 995 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:14,160 Speaker 1: strongly need to know Team Buck is cleared and ready 996 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 1: for the Buck breeze. Look, it is the case that 997 01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 1: for a couple of decades, and here this isn't political, 998 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,360 Speaker 1: this is Republican and Democrat administrations alike. For a couple 999 01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 1: of decades, we allowed China to run rough shot over 1000 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,720 Speaker 1: American interests as as did Europe allowed China to run 1001 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 1: rough shot over their interests as well. President Trump is 1002 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 1: clear that's not going to be the case anymore. It's 1003 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,320 Speaker 1: it's most prominent that as you see it in the 1004 01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,840 Speaker 1: trade issues, where we're trying to simply get fair and 1005 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 1: reciprocal trade between the United States and China. But I 1006 01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 1: think you also see and all the other components of 1007 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 1: the challenge that China presents, whether it's pushing back as 1008 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: we've done here at the State Department on the risk 1009 01:02:54,720 --> 01:03:00,439 Speaker 1: presented by Chinese telecommunications infrastructure, Huawei and others, the work 1010 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,840 Speaker 1: that we've done to convince our partners around the world 1011 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: that allowing China to make investments in their countries that 1012 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 1: will ultimately make them vassal states of China along every 1013 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,440 Speaker 1: dimension political, diplomatic, and security, we're pushing back to make 1014 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,880 Speaker 1: sure that the American people are protected against the challenges 1015 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:22,840 Speaker 1: that China presents to us. That is the essence that 1016 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,640 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Pompeia laying it out for That is 1017 01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,640 Speaker 1: the essence of why Trump has been willing to take 1018 01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,439 Speaker 1: the position he has against China. That they have been 1019 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,680 Speaker 1: bad actors on a number of fronts for a long time, 1020 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 1: and we've all finally just had enough of it, and 1021 01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:46,560 Speaker 1: so I think that has to be reiterated. We have 1022 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:50,960 Speaker 1: to continue to hone in on that reality if we're 1023 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,080 Speaker 1: going to assess whether or not it is the right 1024 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 1: move for President Trump to continue on with this battle 1025 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:04,320 Speaker 1: with China. Understand that any anyone who pays attention to 1026 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:10,240 Speaker 1: geopolitics and is not an internationalist, cosmopolitan this type. If 1027 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,919 Speaker 1: you ask them, does the Chinese do the Chinese view 1028 01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,480 Speaker 1: our relationship with them at some level as zero sum? 1029 01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 1: The answer has to be yes. Now, if you were 1030 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:26,280 Speaker 1: to ask anybody if the Russians view the US China 1031 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,720 Speaker 1: US relationship as zero sum, everybody would say, well, of course, 1032 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean putin that's the way. What evidence is there 1033 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:38,720 Speaker 1: at all that the Chinese take a different approach to 1034 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 1: their relationship with the United States trading relationship, political relationship. 1035 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:46,560 Speaker 1: You know, do we really think the Chinese, for example, 1036 01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: have tried their best to help us on the North 1037 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 1: Korea issue? Do we really believe that the Chinese government 1038 01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:59,160 Speaker 1: is doing everything in its power to help with what 1039 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:03,920 Speaker 1: is the one of them most important national security challenges 1040 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 1: in the world, which is the preventing North Korea from 1041 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: becoming a true nuclear power that is able to hit 1042 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,240 Speaker 1: any country anywhere in the world with an intercontinental ballistic missile. 1043 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they already have nuclear weapons, which is a 1044 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 1: somewhat terrifying thought in and of itself. Chinese aren't putting 1045 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 1: undue pressure on them. In fact, that Chinese like the 1046 01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,880 Speaker 1: current relationship where we have to run to them and say, okay, 1047 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,320 Speaker 1: come on, we need a little help here getting North 1048 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 1: Korea to fall inline. What what can you do for us? 1049 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,960 Speaker 1: So that's another component of this. I mean that you 1050 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 1: see Chinese action not just on trade, but on national 1051 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:50,280 Speaker 1: security and other issues. It's quite clear to me that 1052 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,520 Speaker 1: they aren't helpful to there aren't They're not an ally right. 1053 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:58,400 Speaker 1: This is what There is a very clear strategic clash 1054 01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 1: going on between us and them. They want to be 1055 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:05,520 Speaker 1: the global hedgemon. The Chinese people, the Chinese Communist Party 1056 01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:09,440 Speaker 1: have aspirations to be the wealthiest, strongest country in the world, 1057 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,439 Speaker 1: and to be the wealthiest and strongest country in the world. 1058 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 1: If you're going to be an interconnected as we are 1059 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:22,240 Speaker 1: with the Internet and transit on planes as simple as 1060 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 1: it is to get all over the place, and a 1061 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:28,200 Speaker 1: truly globalized economy, you're going to have to be influential 1062 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 1: outside of your borders in ways that we don't want. 1063 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,080 Speaker 1: We simply don't want the Chinese to be. I mean, 1064 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 1: we do not want the spread of a one state 1065 01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 1: capitalist or sort of a one state quasi capitalist authoritarian 1066 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 1: communist Chinese Party. We don't want that spread all over 1067 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:47,400 Speaker 1: the world. We don't want that to become the new 1068 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 1: model for other countries. Now you could say, oh, but 1069 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 1: China isn't trying to create China in the rest of 1070 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,200 Speaker 1: the world. That's true to that's true to extent. But 1071 01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,240 Speaker 1: it's also the case that the Chinese government by being 1072 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:05,080 Speaker 1: completely willing to work with any country, irrespective of the 1073 01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 1: nature of that regime, the way that regime interacts with 1074 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,040 Speaker 1: other countries as well as its own people, it just 1075 01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,800 Speaker 1: means that, you know, imagine if the US were to 1076 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:15,280 Speaker 1: go bad and decide that we were going to be 1077 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,000 Speaker 1: buddies with all the worst countries in the world, that 1078 01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:21,240 Speaker 1: would have that would have profound ramifications for the future 1079 01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:25,439 Speaker 1: of the earth, I mean for all of us. And 1080 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,760 Speaker 1: that's the future we're headed forth with China. So I 1081 01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,919 Speaker 1: think that there has to be a long term view 1082 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,000 Speaker 1: of this, and I think that the president deserves a 1083 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,360 Speaker 1: lot of credit. And I know that he's getting criticized 1084 01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,280 Speaker 1: right now by Maddis who says that he has a 1085 01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 1: lack of cognitive ability. Essentially, I mean Maddis more or 1086 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 1: less the saying the President's not smart. I think he's 1087 01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,120 Speaker 1: trying to do it in a very well, not even 1088 01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: very he's trying to do in a somewhat roundabout way, 1089 01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 1: but that's what is going That's what's going on here. 1090 01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 1: By the way, Mike Pompeo also spoke a bit about 1091 01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:01,800 Speaker 1: the Israel and Iran issue and how this administration is 1092 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:06,320 Speaker 1: approaching that. With respect of Islamic Republic of Iran, we've flipped, 1093 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 1: we flipped the US policy there. The previous administration guaranteed 1094 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,480 Speaker 1: Iran a path the nuclear weapons system, allowed them to 1095 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:16,760 Speaker 1: foment error, and allowed their missile system to run. The 1096 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,360 Speaker 1: President Trumps directed that we do just the opposite of 1097 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,760 Speaker 1: deny them their resources to create resk not only for 1098 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,479 Speaker 1: the United States and its citizens, but for Israel as well. 1099 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,519 Speaker 1: And we've been successful with that, and we've also been 1100 01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 1: incredibly supportive each time Israel has been forced to take 1101 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,639 Speaker 1: actions to defend itself. The United States has made very 1102 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,600 Speaker 1: clear that that country has not only the right, but 1103 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 1: the duty to protect its own people, and we are 1104 01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,559 Speaker 1: always supportive of their efforts to do that. And so 1105 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:48,640 Speaker 1: with respect to ensuring that Israel is treated fairly at 1106 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 1: the United Nations, is or will can certainly count on 1107 01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 1: the United States of America see, there's a fundamental difference 1108 01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,320 Speaker 1: in the way you have to think about the Iranian regime, 1109 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:02,040 Speaker 1: Iranian government, and the Israeli government. And this is where 1110 01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 1: the left is wrong. This is where the left loses it. 1111 01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:09,519 Speaker 1: That's what they don't understand, or rather they're just wrong, 1112 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,680 Speaker 1: and maybe they understand they're just wrong, and that is 1113 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:18,559 Speaker 1: that the Israeli regime, the government of the country of Israel, 1114 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:25,559 Speaker 1: is at its core a decent, moral, rule of law government. 1115 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:31,639 Speaker 1: The government in Tehran, the Mullahs, the Guardian Council, they 1116 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,120 Speaker 1: are at their core, and the government that they run 1117 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:41,640 Speaker 1: is an indecent, immoral, corrupt and evil regime. And everything 1118 01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,519 Speaker 1: that you think about when you're when you're talking about 1119 01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:46,560 Speaker 1: the relationship between those countries and what's going on in 1120 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,600 Speaker 1: their spheres of influence the Middle East, it has to 1121 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:54,720 Speaker 1: start from that context in a very straightforward way. The 1122 01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 1: Iranian government of the bad guys, the Israeli government of 1123 01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:00,920 Speaker 1: the good guys, and conservatives are willing to put it 1124 01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:05,280 Speaker 1: in those those terms. For the left, it's oh, there's 1125 01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,160 Speaker 1: always a greater complexity, and they'll say there's greater complexity, 1126 01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:13,080 Speaker 1: and then all of their efforts at condemning all their 1127 01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,760 Speaker 1: all the diplomatic pressure they can bring, that's always brought 1128 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,760 Speaker 1: to bear against Israel. Right, that's where the UN and 1129 01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,559 Speaker 1: all these international bodies are always criticizing Israel as though 1130 01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,000 Speaker 1: it's the country we have to really be the most 1131 01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,360 Speaker 1: worried about, you know, that's the country that's really and 1132 01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:32,719 Speaker 1: so this is where you have even if Trump lacks 1133 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:38,800 Speaker 1: the more nuanced understanding out there that obviously Libs think 1134 01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,040 Speaker 1: that he's a psycho and a traitor and an idiot 1135 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,400 Speaker 1: all at once. Right, Libs think all kind he's Hitler. 1136 01:10:43,439 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 1: He's worse than Hitler. He's worse than Mow. He's he's 1137 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, Satan himself, except at least Satan could tempt 1138 01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:54,800 Speaker 1: people in ways that we're clever. They think that Trump 1139 01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:58,360 Speaker 1: is just borish, But on the Israel versus Iran question, 1140 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:02,400 Speaker 1: Trump is fundamentally right, Just like on the China US relationship, 1141 01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 1: He's fundamentally right, and we can't lose sight of that. 1142 01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:09,960 Speaker 1: So one of my favorite things to complain about, and 1143 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 1: since this is my radio show, I'll take a moment 1144 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 1: to complain about something that is on my mind. It's 1145 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,600 Speaker 1: just all the stuff I just moved from DC to 1146 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,639 Speaker 1: New York and you have all this stuff you have 1147 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,920 Speaker 1: to deal with when you move, which is very annoying. 1148 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:27,559 Speaker 1: Moving is very expensive, it's very pricey, and you know, 1149 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,680 Speaker 1: you have to be quite aware of what's going on 1150 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,439 Speaker 1: around you because there's always stuff that comes up. But 1151 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,719 Speaker 1: then when you deal with apartments in New York City, 1152 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:41,599 Speaker 1: you get the double whammy of it's very expensive. Wherever 1153 01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,240 Speaker 1: you live in New York City is very expensive. And 1154 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:44,800 Speaker 1: those of you that are in this area, you know 1155 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, a lot of you, I know, 1156 01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:48,920 Speaker 1: those of you who listen to the show out in Omaha. 1157 01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,439 Speaker 1: You're laughing at me. You've got, you know, your thousands 1158 01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:56,200 Speaker 1: of square feet or whatever, and you've got a yard 1159 01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:58,639 Speaker 1: and land and all this stuff, and you're telling me, Buck, 1160 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,600 Speaker 1: I've got a very cute workshed that you could go 1161 01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 1: throw a cot in and I'll only I'll charge you, 1162 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, bottom dollar for it. So I appreciate all that. 1163 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:09,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, here in New York it's very very expensive. 1164 01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:13,799 Speaker 1: And wherever you end up living, there's always there's always 1165 01:12:13,840 --> 01:12:17,080 Speaker 1: a risk. You know, there's always a risk because you 1166 01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:21,639 Speaker 1: go see the place, But until you have actually lived 1167 01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:25,080 Speaker 1: in a place like sleep there for the st sleep there, 1168 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:31,240 Speaker 1: slept there, speak the English buck for the night. You 1169 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,960 Speaker 1: don't really know what you're getting into. And I've dealt 1170 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:35,960 Speaker 1: with this many times before. For example, years ago, I 1171 01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 1: lived in a tiny studio a studio apartment by for 1172 01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:42,320 Speaker 1: those who don't know the lingo. A studio is a 1173 01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,880 Speaker 1: fancy term for a one room apartment, which is what 1174 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:48,000 Speaker 1: I have lived in for most of my adult life. Yeah, 1175 01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:50,599 Speaker 1: that's right. The freedom hut is it's a hut. It's 1176 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,120 Speaker 1: not It is not a mansion. It is not a hacienda. 1177 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,720 Speaker 1: One day, producer Mark will have a freedom Hunt hacienda 1178 01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,439 Speaker 1: if we go big. If we go big time and 1179 01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,160 Speaker 1: we are in a hundred and sixty stations, but we 1180 01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,680 Speaker 1: get to five hundred, we'll get a hacienda and we'll 1181 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,720 Speaker 1: get you. I don't know, what do you call it, 1182 01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:11,640 Speaker 1: like the carriage house for a Haciendael, Yeah, it's you know, 1183 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:13,559 Speaker 1: it's a big house, I think, or it's a fancy house. 1184 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,040 Speaker 1: So so whenever you move into a place for the 1185 01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 1: first time around and I don't know how many of you, 1186 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 1: I've moved ten times as an adult, I've moved over 1187 01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,720 Speaker 1: and over again. I had to move mostly because when 1188 01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:26,679 Speaker 1: I was in the CIA, they would raise my rent 1189 01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:31,080 Speaker 1: when I lived in DC, and so I would say, okay, 1190 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,880 Speaker 1: And I was living right at the edge of you know, 1191 01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,599 Speaker 1: paycheck to paycheck, So when somebody would raise my rent, 1192 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,280 Speaker 1: even a couple one hundred bucks a month or one 1193 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,639 Speaker 1: hundred fifty bucks a month, I'd have to move. So 1194 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,880 Speaker 1: that happened to me a bunch of times in DC. 1195 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 1: But you know, you learn, you there's a growth process 1196 01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:51,639 Speaker 1: from that, from being somebody who has to just get 1197 01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,800 Speaker 1: it done and move and find a place to live 1198 01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:55,920 Speaker 1: and deal with the situation right there. There's a lot 1199 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,760 Speaker 1: that you have to you have to handle there. Um. 1200 01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,840 Speaker 1: I mean I I hacked, and in retrospect, some of 1201 01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 1: you're gonna say that, Well, first of all, some of 1202 01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,720 Speaker 1: you are superhuman, all right, So let's just start right there. 1203 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 1: Every time every time I talk about something, I'm like, 1204 01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:11,200 Speaker 1: I'm working on my fitness, I get like eight members 1205 01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:12,840 Speaker 1: of Team buck who are like I just I just 1206 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,599 Speaker 1: competed in the IFBB Championship and like, look at me, 1207 01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:17,439 Speaker 1: and I've got like a sixteen pack and do this 1208 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,120 Speaker 1: and that. And I appreciate the advice, but you know, 1209 01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:22,720 Speaker 1: I gotta sit here behind a radio mic for three 1210 01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,519 Speaker 1: hours a day, and to do this show, I gotta 1211 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,479 Speaker 1: read for like four or five hours before I do 1212 01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 1: the three hour show. So it's a long it's a 1213 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 1: long haul. So when people ask the question, how do 1214 01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:33,280 Speaker 1: you know all this stuff? I know all the stuff 1215 01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:36,680 Speaker 1: because I read all this stuff. That should probably we 1216 01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,080 Speaker 1: could we could probably make that a tagline. I just 1217 01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:44,000 Speaker 1: came up with that one hashtag radio skills. But anyway, 1218 01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, when you move around, you learn things. I 1219 01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,240 Speaker 1: moved a one bedroom apartment. This is good. This is 1220 01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,080 Speaker 1: good for like pre labor day stuff. I moved a 1221 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:55,800 Speaker 1: one bedroom apartment by myself from New York. From DC 1222 01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,320 Speaker 1: to New York. Drove the truck, the whole thing, just 1223 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:00,840 Speaker 1: by myself, a little it up the truck. I didn't 1224 01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,120 Speaker 1: have much stuff. I just had a little Dolly and 1225 01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:05,080 Speaker 1: drove it all up. And then I got to New 1226 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:06,760 Speaker 1: York and then I realized that I couldn't move my 1227 01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 1: stuff into the apartment because I had missed the window. 1228 01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:10,880 Speaker 1: And then I had my stuff in a truck and 1229 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:12,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't leave the truck on the street. And I mean, 1230 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:17,680 Speaker 1: it's just I have had so much so much anxiety 1231 01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,679 Speaker 1: and drama and irritation from having to constantly be mobile 1232 01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 1: too for different jobs. I've had to move around for 1233 01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:29,600 Speaker 1: obviously CIA, I've had to move around that. You know, 1234 01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,960 Speaker 1: after a while you kind of get You just get 1235 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:33,840 Speaker 1: into a mindset where you're like, whatever roles my way, 1236 01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna deal with it. But so this time around, 1237 01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:41,320 Speaker 1: I was looking for apartments in New York and there 1238 01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:45,120 Speaker 1: are a few things. I'll tell you this. I hate whistling. 1239 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,559 Speaker 1: Like the sound of whistling. I understand it makes me. 1240 01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:53,519 Speaker 1: It makes me irrationally mad. I just some of it. 1241 01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 1: Someone's walking down the street, and I understand that you're 1242 01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:58,400 Speaker 1: allowed to walk down the street and whistle. I mean, 1243 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,400 Speaker 1: we probably asked yourself, why can't you just be quiet 1244 01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,040 Speaker 1: with your thoughts? But you know, if you want a whistle, 1245 01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:06,120 Speaker 1: you can whistle. If you're an enclosed space and somebody 1246 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 1: has to hear your whistling and can't get away, that's 1247 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 1: slightly different for me. But I understand this is I 1248 01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:13,200 Speaker 1: just hate it, and I think there's actually a medical 1249 01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:16,280 Speaker 1: condition that I probably there is a condition I think 1250 01:16:16,320 --> 01:16:19,520 Speaker 1: I suffer from it, where whistling is like the equivalent 1251 01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,280 Speaker 1: of a dog. You know, dog whistle is not a 1252 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:23,840 Speaker 1: pleasant thing for dogs. Human whistling for me is like 1253 01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:25,479 Speaker 1: a dog. I don't I don't like it. I don 1254 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:30,599 Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I find it pretty irritating. But so I've 1255 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,599 Speaker 1: had the experience before of looking for apartments in New York. 1256 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,080 Speaker 1: I found one when I was living in a tiny 1257 01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,840 Speaker 1: It was under I think it was four hundred and 1258 01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,519 Speaker 1: fifty square feet. That was the apartment I lived in. 1259 01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:44,360 Speaker 1: This was only maybe four years ago. So yes, I 1260 01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 1: am not living in the in like a Fox News 1261 01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 1: anchor mansion, you know what I'm saying. I'm living in 1262 01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,479 Speaker 1: a little so I'm living in a tiny space and 1263 01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:54,639 Speaker 1: it was cute. It was my own space, my own place. 1264 01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,960 Speaker 1: I figure it's gonna be fine. And you know, I 1265 01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:58,960 Speaker 1: actually didn't have a TV there for the first year 1266 01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,080 Speaker 1: I lived there, which is pretty markable, and I hadn't 1267 01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:03,719 Speaker 1: had a TV before that for a number of years. 1268 01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:09,200 Speaker 1: But every night there would be truck deliveries for a 1269 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 1: major department store that was on the same block, and 1270 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,680 Speaker 1: so every night I could and just the way that 1271 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 1: the buildings magnified the sound you could hear these is 1272 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 1: it a sixteen wheeler an eighteen wheeler. Do they have 1273 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,760 Speaker 1: both of those? I don't know which which is a 1274 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:28,160 Speaker 1: big eighteen wheeler. I mean, I guess it's a sixteen 1275 01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:30,559 Speaker 1: wheeler if you lose a couple, right, But okay, eighteen wheeler, 1276 01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,640 Speaker 1: whatever kind of wheeler to have a big truck. And 1277 01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,080 Speaker 1: the big truck would drive down, and I would say 1278 01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,719 Speaker 1: to myself, and of course I'm there. I'm reading Edmund 1279 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:42,320 Speaker 1: Burke late at night, as one does. I'm reading, you know, 1280 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 1: reflections on the Revolution in France. I'm taking notes so 1281 01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:46,880 Speaker 1: I can come here and talk to team Buck about it. 1282 01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,920 Speaker 1: I got all kinds of stuff like that going on. Okay, fine, 1283 01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,479 Speaker 1: And then they would have the even though it would 1284 01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,040 Speaker 1: be dead quiet three o'clock in the morning, those trucks 1285 01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:02,799 Speaker 1: would back up and you'd have the beep, beep beep noise, 1286 01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:05,040 Speaker 1: which is why I hate that noise so much. I mean, 1287 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,320 Speaker 1: I was traumatized by that noise. It would wake me 1288 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,439 Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night. It was mattening. 1289 01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 1: And you know, I was like paying half of the 1290 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:13,840 Speaker 1: money I was making in rent to live in this 1291 01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:17,240 Speaker 1: tiny shoe box in Manhattan with a beeping truck noise. 1292 01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,599 Speaker 1: And I lived there for three years, so I just 1293 01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,519 Speaker 1: learned to deal with it. Sunday, I'm moving a new 1294 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:26,280 Speaker 1: place now, and I'm I'm all. I'm so excited to 1295 01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:27,760 Speaker 1: be in New York, so excited to be back with 1296 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:29,479 Speaker 1: my friends and my family and everything. And I know, 1297 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:33,000 Speaker 1: for all the flaws, I love this I love this town. 1298 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a mess, it's crazy. It will 1299 01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:42,040 Speaker 1: sometimes almost break you, almost break you, Marcus. New York 1300 01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 1: ever almost broke you almost every day, almost every day, right, 1301 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:47,960 Speaker 1: I mean the stuff of you deal with just being 1302 01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:51,680 Speaker 1: on the subway here, A lot of people would be like, 1303 01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:53,640 Speaker 1: I can't I can't handle it. I can't handle it, 1304 01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:55,719 Speaker 1: you know. I mean I've seen some wild I've seen 1305 01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,720 Speaker 1: some wild stuff go on on the subway, that is 1306 01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:01,880 Speaker 1: for sure. I have seen people using a rather crowded 1307 01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,559 Speaker 1: subway car as a toilet. I've seen some pretty wild 1308 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 1: you know. And you can't go anywhere because the subway 1309 01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:09,880 Speaker 1: car is moving. So I've seen some pretty wild stuff. 1310 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 1: But I like this town. And maybe I'm just used 1311 01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:13,960 Speaker 1: to the craziest of anything else. But I find this 1312 01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,200 Speaker 1: apartment and I find this place to live, and I 1313 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:19,479 Speaker 1: may be telling you guys more about this because I'm 1314 01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 1: hoping that they're gonna help me out. But otherwise, this 1315 01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:24,640 Speaker 1: is gonna be a recurring theme on the show, and 1316 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 1: I'll give you more information what should be Buck versus 1317 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:32,639 Speaker 1: the building that refuses to address the problem, Buck versus 1318 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,320 Speaker 1: the building management that's decided like tough for you, And 1319 01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,439 Speaker 1: then we're gonna have a whole Then it's gonna be 1320 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,599 Speaker 1: a whole thing. Then we're gonna have whole conversations here 1321 01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:46,160 Speaker 1: on the show and elsewhere about what's going on. So, 1322 01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:50,040 Speaker 1: so here's what I've learned. You can be actually pretty 1323 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:54,440 Speaker 1: high up in a building, but if there's a building nearby, 1324 01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:59,760 Speaker 1: you can be subject to their machinery noise. Right. So 1325 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:01,880 Speaker 1: I come to my new by my apartment, and I 1326 01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:03,640 Speaker 1: think i'd seen it before. I'm like, oh, this is 1327 01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna be great. It looks really nice. And you know, 1328 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm spending way too much money for me on it, right, 1329 01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 1: which is as a percentage of income, I'm doing what 1330 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,040 Speaker 1: you should tell your kids don't do. Don't spend that 1331 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,599 Speaker 1: much of your money on an apartment. And sure, if 1332 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 1: I walk in and I what do I hear? Because 1333 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:19,880 Speaker 1: I know this sound as a New York or too. 1334 01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:25,439 Speaker 1: I hear the high pitched screech of an h VACT 1335 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:28,920 Speaker 1: machine that is an industrial size, right, it's for an 1336 01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,719 Speaker 1: entire building. And I look down and on the building 1337 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:36,040 Speaker 1: right next to me, there's this h vaccine. It's making 1338 01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:38,760 Speaker 1: this noise and you can hear it. If you open 1339 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:40,200 Speaker 1: the window then it's out. You might as well be 1340 01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 1: in the machinery room. And I can hear this noise, 1341 01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,439 Speaker 1: and it's just one of these moments where you realize 1342 01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:49,519 Speaker 1: the noise wasn't there when I saw the apartment no idea. 1343 01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:51,840 Speaker 1: It turns out that it's it's obviously cyclical, and they 1344 01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,040 Speaker 1: only it's only been an issue. It must have been 1345 01:20:54,040 --> 01:20:57,040 Speaker 1: an issue recently. It's a mechanical problem. I actually, in 1346 01:20:57,080 --> 01:21:01,240 Speaker 1: true New York fashion, I was writing all on a 1347 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:04,599 Speaker 1: subway car and they're two guys standing there who look 1348 01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,640 Speaker 1: like union members at two full seven five local, you know, 1349 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,080 Speaker 1: steelworkers union or whatever, and you know they look like, 1350 01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,639 Speaker 1: you know, good, good American industrial working kind of folk. 1351 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 1: And I said, you guys have HVAC shirts on. I said, 1352 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:21,520 Speaker 1: list is my problem? What's going on? They said, oh, yeah, 1353 01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 1: it can be fixed. It can be fixed. It's a 1354 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:29,559 Speaker 1: it's either a motor or a belt in the cooling 1355 01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 1: tower of the building HVAC unit. So I go and 1356 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:35,639 Speaker 1: I go back, and I go, all right, well, now 1357 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:39,200 Speaker 1: I finally got some I finally got some information here. 1358 01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,439 Speaker 1: It just so happened these guys we're willing to give 1359 01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,519 Speaker 1: share a little of their expertise. I told them the problem. 1360 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,160 Speaker 1: We're on the subway, very New York story. You know, 1361 01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:52,439 Speaker 1: I'm learning about industrial machinery or commercial machinery exhaust systems 1362 01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:54,080 Speaker 1: because I'm on a subway and it just happened to 1363 01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:55,360 Speaker 1: me next to a couple of guys that that's what 1364 01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,000 Speaker 1: they do for a living. Based on the T shirts 1365 01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,400 Speaker 1: they're wearing. It said, you know, HVAC special list, blah 1366 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,080 Speaker 1: blah blah. And I go into the building and they go, 1367 01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:04,880 Speaker 1: oh yeah, we'll take care of it. And then then 1368 01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:07,320 Speaker 1: they they go next door. I mean, at first they 1369 01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,600 Speaker 1: say does a noise really bother you? And and the 1370 01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:15,439 Speaker 1: answer is obviously yes. That's I wouldn't I wouldn't come 1371 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,400 Speaker 1: in to this office of this big building in New 1372 01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:20,280 Speaker 1: York and say, hey, I got a real problem here. 1373 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,439 Speaker 1: I got noise. The answer is obviously yes. But they 1374 01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,439 Speaker 1: like to do the whole like are you sure? And 1375 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,439 Speaker 1: they keep producer mark This is my favorite. They keep 1376 01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:31,479 Speaker 1: sending up people as if as if I'm crazy, and 1377 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 1: you know what happens when they come up they go, 1378 01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:37,599 Speaker 1: oh yeah, that is pretty loud. That is pretty annoying. 1379 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:43,160 Speaker 1: Oh you don't say you don't say, oh, so I'm 1380 01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,599 Speaker 1: not actually hearing, like how we've set up four different people. 1381 01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean, look, how many of you have to come up? 1382 01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 1: Do you just not believe? Do you think that I 1383 01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 1: like wasting my time like walking into a leasing office 1384 01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:55,479 Speaker 1: and having this discussion with you? Do you think I 1385 01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: like saying I like being this new tenant, this new 1386 01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:02,639 Speaker 1: resident in this uh, this new residential tower. Who's the guy? 1387 01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:05,880 Speaker 1: You know? I'm not complaining about the croissants in the 1388 01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 1: breakfast buffet being stale. I can hear a noise in 1389 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,439 Speaker 1: my apartment building that I do not want you in 1390 01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:14,080 Speaker 1: my apartment rather that I do not want to hear. 1391 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:18,840 Speaker 1: So we shall see. It is a quick fix if 1392 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:22,479 Speaker 1: they're willing to fix it. It is something that they 1393 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:27,320 Speaker 1: could absolutely do if they want to do it. Question 1394 01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:28,639 Speaker 1: is going to be do they want to do anything 1395 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 1: about it? Do they want to help? It's gonna be interesting, 1396 01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:36,840 Speaker 1: because the HVACT guys also told me, because you know, 1397 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:40,760 Speaker 1: we became buddies on the train. That buildings. You know, 1398 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:43,200 Speaker 1: as far as they're concerned, it's like the noise if 1399 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:45,080 Speaker 1: it only affects a few tenants, which I'm of course 1400 01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:47,320 Speaker 1: one of the few that's affected by it, you know, 1401 01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:49,479 Speaker 1: they'd rather like wait and not spend the money until 1402 01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,400 Speaker 1: it breaks, basically because the screeching means that the machinery 1403 01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,840 Speaker 1: is wearing, and but they'd rather wait till it just 1404 01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:56,880 Speaker 1: totally breaks and then they'll fix it. That seems to 1405 01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 1: be the approach of these big buildings. Now for those 1406 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:01,479 Speaker 1: you don't, I mean in New York, I'm talking about 1407 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,680 Speaker 1: the building I live in is you know, forty or 1408 01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:05,800 Speaker 1: fifty stories. The building next to me is the twenty 1409 01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:09,080 Speaker 1: or thirty stories. I mean, he's talking a big, big machinery, 1410 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 1: big buildings, and but it's just goes to show you. 1411 01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:13,600 Speaker 1: I've lived in New York my whole life. I know 1412 01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:16,720 Speaker 1: apartments here, backwards and forwards. I know what to look for. 1413 01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:20,400 Speaker 1: I know red flags. The moment that you're stepping into 1414 01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:25,679 Speaker 1: the unknown, you are rolling the dice, and right now 1415 01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 1: the buster on the apartment front is getting snake eyes? 1416 01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:31,760 Speaker 1: Isn't that sneak eyes is bad? Right? When you get 1417 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,240 Speaker 1: a snake eyes in the when rolling dice? Is that right, Marks, Yeah, yeah, 1418 01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,280 Speaker 1: that's with I don't really roll dice much. I think 1419 01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,479 Speaker 1: that gambler. I think that I gamble every day in life. 1420 01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:42,360 Speaker 1: People like to gamble for fun. I'm always like, I 1421 01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,760 Speaker 1: feel like I'm gambling when I take a walk on 1422 01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 1: the street. See some wild stuff happening here. It's crazy times. 1423 01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:52,400 Speaker 1: So so we'll see, I mean, team, I'll hopefully I'll 1424 01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:55,439 Speaker 1: have I'll have some updates for you. I'm hoping that 1425 01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna go into this weekend. I'm sure 1426 01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:00,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna say they can't fix anything. Hottie weekend, blah blah. 1427 01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm hoping next week we get it resolved. Otherwise I 1428 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 1: don't know. The Buckster might be looking for a new 1429 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,519 Speaker 1: place to live in New York pretty soon after living 1430 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,519 Speaker 1: after moving once in uh, you know, I might have 1431 01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 1: to move again. So that's that's the If you like 1432 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:17,360 Speaker 1: where you live, this the lesson here is if you 1433 01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:22,519 Speaker 1: like where you live, do not move unless you absolutely 1434 01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,720 Speaker 1: have to. If you are happy with your living situation. 1435 01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 1: And I already knew this, but I wanted to move 1436 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,040 Speaker 1: from DC to New York. And I'm happy with that change. 1437 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,479 Speaker 1: For sure. We got the freedom at NYC. We're gonna 1438 01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:35,639 Speaker 1: start streaming the show probably now in October. We're having 1439 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:37,679 Speaker 1: a little bit of a construction delay on the studio, 1440 01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 1: but it's going to happen. But I had to switch 1441 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:43,720 Speaker 1: from an apartment in DC that I love to an 1442 01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,000 Speaker 1: apartment of New York. That's a nightmare. It reminds me 1443 01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:49,960 Speaker 1: of when, just just a quick story, I signed a 1444 01:25:50,439 --> 01:25:52,760 Speaker 1: and I was convinced by a friend to do this. 1445 01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:55,080 Speaker 1: I didn't want to do it. I signed on a 1446 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:59,400 Speaker 1: lease in a house in DC and the deal was 1447 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,240 Speaker 1: that I was going to be living in what they 1448 01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:04,080 Speaker 1: call the English basement, which is a fancy way of 1449 01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:07,360 Speaker 1: saying basement. That's right, it's a basement, but they call 1450 01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:10,320 Speaker 1: them English basements because they're somewhat ground level in DC 1451 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,519 Speaker 1: or whatever it is they say. And I remember, and 1452 01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:17,920 Speaker 1: that apartment, that house had been empty for six months. 1453 01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:19,680 Speaker 1: I would drive because I would drive past it every 1454 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,799 Speaker 1: day on the way home from work. For six months, 1455 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,600 Speaker 1: that house had been totally empty. And they told me 1456 01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 1: that if you're in the basement and no one's above you, 1457 01:26:27,400 --> 01:26:30,640 Speaker 1: you can you can just use the whole house. So 1458 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 1: and I thought, okay, and my rent was going to 1459 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,280 Speaker 1: be a thousand dollars a month, So I'm gonna be 1460 01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:36,439 Speaker 1: living in Washington, DC in a basement apartment for a 1461 01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:39,200 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month and have access to the whole 1462 01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:41,479 Speaker 1: house basically and do whatever I want. I had a yard, 1463 01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:43,439 Speaker 1: and you know, I was like, this is great. And 1464 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,160 Speaker 1: this guy totally was a friend of mine, totally swindled 1465 01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:50,440 Speaker 1: me into this because as soon as I was actually 1466 01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:54,480 Speaker 1: the day after I moved in, I'm at the day 1467 01:26:54,560 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 1: after I moved into this house, it had been empty 1468 01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:59,920 Speaker 1: for six months. There was an enormous moving truck out 1469 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:04,520 Speaker 1: up front, and a family of five moved in upstairs. 1470 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:08,439 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I went through nine months before 1471 01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:10,920 Speaker 1: I finally just threw in the towel of it was like, 1472 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:14,760 Speaker 1: you know, Captain Kangaroo upstairs, man, I mean it was 1473 01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,479 Speaker 1: just you know, kids run around screaming. I can hear 1474 01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:19,640 Speaker 1: a little toys on the floor. You know, it's just 1475 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:22,960 Speaker 1: a total Oh man, you know what, team, I gotta 1476 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:24,880 Speaker 1: move to one of the rural areas of America's what 1477 01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,120 Speaker 1: I realized. I just can't I can't deal with the noise. 1478 01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:29,479 Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to do it. It can't happen 1479 01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:30,960 Speaker 1: right away because I just got here. We're gonna have 1480 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,800 Speaker 1: to do like a Team Buck sweepstakes. Where's Buck gonna 1481 01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:36,200 Speaker 1: head to? Where where is he gonna decide that it's 1482 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,320 Speaker 1: time to time to roll too? So team that's what 1483 01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,800 Speaker 1: That's what I've got in mind here. We're gonna have 1484 01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,080 Speaker 1: to find a new new spot for the Bucks. Are 1485 01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,960 Speaker 1: all we gottah a quick break? I'll come right back. Man. Man, 1486 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,720 Speaker 1: It's unusual for me to get into a bunch of 1487 01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,240 Speaker 1: personal stuff here, but I will say on the upside 1488 01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,880 Speaker 1: of New York City, there's a lot of good stuff 1489 01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:59,000 Speaker 1: that happens here. A lot of people to grab lunch with, 1490 01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,960 Speaker 1: grab but a lot lot of restaurants everywhere, fun stuff 1491 01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:04,920 Speaker 1: for sure. So I'm looking forward to that. And I 1492 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:07,120 Speaker 1: want to give you a quick update. Yeah, I mentioned 1493 01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:09,120 Speaker 1: the streaming. We are going to be streaming the Buck 1494 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,639 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I'm going to know exactly the time. It's 1495 01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:16,160 Speaker 1: going to be earlier in the day than the radio 1496 01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:21,880 Speaker 1: show is right now, and it'll be streamed, and I 1497 01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:24,679 Speaker 1: think we'll be starting that the first or second week 1498 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,400 Speaker 1: of October. We're just waiting for a studio construction and 1499 01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,240 Speaker 1: also a few big name folks that you know, to 1500 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:36,360 Speaker 1: get their stuff finalized. We're in the final stages of 1501 01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,360 Speaker 1: getting some people signed on as well, so we'll have 1502 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,320 Speaker 1: a whole streaming lineup that you will be able to 1503 01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:46,320 Speaker 1: watch at your leisure. That's the plan. So it'll be 1504 01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,240 Speaker 1: in October. I came up here thinking it would be 1505 01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:49,880 Speaker 1: in September, but it looks like it's going to be 1506 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:54,400 Speaker 1: in October. We're gonna have a whole streaming network of shows, 1507 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:55,640 Speaker 1: and I'm going to be one of those shows. So 1508 01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,439 Speaker 1: the whole, the entirety of the Bucks Exton Show will 1509 01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,919 Speaker 1: be available as a vision, will as a video product 1510 01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:05,760 Speaker 1: starting very soon, so and it will be well, I 1511 01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,680 Speaker 1: can't name the platform quite yet, but it's gonna be 1512 01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:15,000 Speaker 1: very fun. I promise you that we'll be right back Buck. 1513 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call. Roll call, everybody. We're gonna 1514 01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,960 Speaker 1: do a double roll call. That I why because it's 1515 01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:34,720 Speaker 1: late in summer and I feel like it. That's why 1516 01:29:34,960 --> 01:29:36,479 Speaker 1: I think I think that should be Hopefully that's a 1517 01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:40,000 Speaker 1: good enough reason. Hopefully we're all on board for that 1518 01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:45,560 Speaker 1: as the reason. The reason is I feel like it 1519 01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:50,800 Speaker 1: Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton, so you send it 1520 01:29:50,840 --> 01:29:53,920 Speaker 1: to me, and that's how we roll. And we start 1521 01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:57,479 Speaker 1: off with my friend Tim Buck love the show. Just 1522 01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:02,559 Speaker 1: enjoyed mescal. Some people say mescal. I guess that's the 1523 01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:05,559 Speaker 1: fancy way. Just enjoyed mescal for the first time. Love 1524 01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:10,320 Speaker 1: that smoky flavor. Is there a brand you recommend? Is 1525 01:30:10,320 --> 01:30:13,720 Speaker 1: there a specific cocktail or a homemade concoction that you 1526 01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,320 Speaker 1: recommend going to pick up a bottle to enjoy over 1527 01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:18,560 Speaker 1: the weekend. Thank you for all the insight and entertainment, 1528 01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:24,040 Speaker 1: brother Tim. I wish I could give you more worthwhile 1529 01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:27,639 Speaker 1: information on Mesical. I wish I could tell you that 1530 01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:32,200 Speaker 1: there's something that I could give you. The brand, I 1531 01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:34,920 Speaker 1: don't know that. I just get whatever illegal is. I 1532 01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:38,280 Speaker 1: think the most well known mescal, so I could start 1533 01:30:38,280 --> 01:30:40,160 Speaker 1: with that, but usually they only have one or two 1534 01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:41,760 Speaker 1: at a bar, and I like it so much that 1535 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:45,599 Speaker 1: I'm just like, whatever mesical you have, I will drink. 1536 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:49,280 Speaker 1: And that is usually how we do it, and that's 1537 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:54,639 Speaker 1: usually how we roll. Benny Benny and the JITs Hey 1538 01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:58,080 Speaker 1: Buck today I write with a oh man, a heavy heart. 1539 01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm a twenty five year and I raised my eight 1540 01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:02,960 Speaker 1: and six year old voice to respect all law enforcement 1541 01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,960 Speaker 1: and first responders. But today, with the release of the 1542 01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:09,799 Speaker 1: IG report on Comy, that ends, and it pains me greatly. 1543 01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:13,000 Speaker 1: There's obviously a two tiered justice system. And I'll teach 1544 01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,720 Speaker 1: my boys to say to any law enforcement official, I 1545 01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 1: will not make any statement, and I want to speak 1546 01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:20,560 Speaker 1: to a lawyer. The standard is if you lie to 1547 01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 1: the FBI, even making an innocent mistake, you are prosecuted 1548 01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:29,320 Speaker 1: Ie Flynn, Papadopolis or eg Flynn and Papadopolis, Stone Manafort, etc. 1549 01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:32,519 Speaker 1: But if you are a demn you get a pass. Clapper, Clinton, 1550 01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:37,080 Speaker 1: Comey Larner. Where is the freaking justice? The FBI and 1551 01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice have proven they operate without integrity 1552 01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:46,439 Speaker 1: and with a political bias shields High Benny in Mississippi. Well, 1553 01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:51,200 Speaker 1: thank you for saying it exactly right. There is an 1554 01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,640 Speaker 1: enormous double standard in our justice system. I think that 1555 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:59,040 Speaker 1: part is abundantly clear. There are what do we say 1556 01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:00,800 Speaker 1: about this? What do we do about the fact that 1557 01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:05,000 Speaker 1: we cannot trust the FBI anymore? Now you'd say oh back, 1558 01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:08,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, we can trust them to put away drug 1559 01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:12,559 Speaker 1: dealers and kidnappers and terrorists. But the moment that there 1560 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:17,599 Speaker 1: is a political connection to a case, the normal assumption 1561 01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:24,320 Speaker 1: must be. It has to be that they are going 1562 01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:26,040 Speaker 1: to give the benefit of the doubt to the Democrat 1563 01:32:26,080 --> 01:32:28,080 Speaker 1: and they're going to crush the Republican because that's what 1564 01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:31,479 Speaker 1: we keep seeing. And if we ignore what we know 1565 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:36,479 Speaker 1: to be true, what comes after that? What's next after that? 1566 01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:41,120 Speaker 1: Caroline and Ryans Hey, Buck, I want to thank you 1567 01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:44,479 Speaker 1: for staying on the Jeffrey Epstein story. Seems to have 1568 01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:46,720 Speaker 1: dropped off the radar for most news outlets, and that's 1569 01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:50,200 Speaker 1: a shame because it's a hugely important story. It isn't 1570 01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:53,759 Speaker 1: just a salacious ogling and the predation of an extremely 1571 01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:56,320 Speaker 1: rich weirdo. As you point out, this may be an 1572 01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,679 Speaker 1: international blackmail ring operating with the knowledge and implicit consent 1573 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:04,600 Speaker 1: of our intelligence community. Having experience inside the swamp, you 1574 01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:07,439 Speaker 1: offer your listeners a valuable and unique insight into this 1575 01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:12,200 Speaker 1: highly disturbing story. Keep up the great work as always, 1576 01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:16,160 Speaker 1: Shields High. Well, thank you so much, Caroline, and Yeah, 1577 01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:20,000 Speaker 1: I think look my record speaks for itself on this one. 1578 01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:25,200 Speaker 1: I was very concerned about what was going to happen 1579 01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:28,920 Speaker 1: with the Epstein case from the beginning, and I knew 1580 01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:31,880 Speaker 1: that this was going to turn into a moment where 1581 01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:34,599 Speaker 1: we would at a minimum have to question because remember 1582 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:39,160 Speaker 1: even before the investigation, that it took so long for 1583 01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:43,280 Speaker 1: us to get here, that there were so clearly an 1584 01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:50,680 Speaker 1: effort to suppress information. Within the DOJ, within the prosecutor's 1585 01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:54,360 Speaker 1: office in Palm Beach, there were people who just did 1586 01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 1: not want to deal with this. They did not want 1587 01:33:57,439 --> 01:34:00,760 Speaker 1: to make a case of this. And to remember, it's 1588 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,760 Speaker 1: usually the opposite. You know, if you tell most prosecutors 1589 01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:07,960 Speaker 1: they're going to have a chance to bring down a 1590 01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:12,599 Speaker 1: billionaire pedophile who was a serial trafficker of women, you'd 1591 01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:17,160 Speaker 1: think that most prosecutors would leap at that opportunity. Meanwhile, 1592 01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:21,880 Speaker 1: what we see are prosecutors leaping in opportunities like prosecuting Papadopolis, 1593 01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:26,559 Speaker 1: prosecuting not even just the recent cases of Russia collusion. 1594 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:32,599 Speaker 1: I insist on pointing out to everyone that we've had 1595 01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:36,880 Speaker 1: a number of very high profile Republicans who were just harassed, 1596 01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:42,320 Speaker 1: who were utterly and completely hounded, and it was because 1597 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:45,840 Speaker 1: of their politics. That's what was going on. It was 1598 01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:49,640 Speaker 1: because they were targets of the prosecutor's office as a 1599 01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,400 Speaker 1: result of what was going on in their lives, as 1600 01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:54,559 Speaker 1: a result of the politics around them, right. That that's 1601 01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:58,679 Speaker 1: what's really happening here. I mean, you see this with 1602 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:04,760 Speaker 1: Scot Walker in Wisconsin, they had prosecutors desperately trying to 1603 01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:07,720 Speaker 1: take him down. Saw this with Chris Christie and Bridgegate. 1604 01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,639 Speaker 1: You so, even calling it Bridgegate, they caused it. They 1605 01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,479 Speaker 1: caused some traffic. I mean, it's it's something that happens 1606 01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,360 Speaker 1: all the time. I remember when that originally went down, 1607 01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:21,679 Speaker 1: MSNBC was trying to make it seem like there should 1608 01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:26,120 Speaker 1: be murder charges perhaps if there was anybody on that 1609 01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:28,439 Speaker 1: bridge on the way to a hospital as a result 1610 01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:30,600 Speaker 1: of traffic. I mean, you know, this is this is 1611 01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:34,360 Speaker 1: where it was going that that was how extreme. Rachel 1612 01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:36,679 Speaker 1: Maddow I think it was. On the Bill Maher show, 1613 01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:41,719 Speaker 1: referred to the Bridgegate scandal as the most delicious political 1614 01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:44,640 Speaker 1: scandal of her lifetime, as though this was such a 1615 01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:49,840 Speaker 1: fascinating or important or worthwhile story. To begin with Rick 1616 01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:53,800 Speaker 1: Perry in Texas, they went after Rick Perry. You know, 1617 01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:57,680 Speaker 1: they decided that they were going to try to prosecute 1618 01:35:57,760 --> 01:35:59,760 Speaker 1: him for misuse of his position because he did not 1619 01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:04,400 Speaker 1: want someone who was in the prosecutor's office who had 1620 01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:07,719 Speaker 1: just been arrested for drunk driving, and so as governor, 1621 01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:09,640 Speaker 1: he said that he was going to veto funding for 1622 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:13,200 Speaker 1: that office unless they got rid of the drunk driving prosecutor. 1623 01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:17,120 Speaker 1: And then you had another prosecutor in the state say, oh, 1624 01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:20,680 Speaker 1: maybe we're gonna bring bring charges against Rick Perryman. This 1625 01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:24,120 Speaker 1: is what keeps. When does this happen to Democrats? I'm 1626 01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:26,960 Speaker 1: sure they're Democrats out there, say well, look good Hillary there. Yeah, well, 1627 01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:30,840 Speaker 1: Hilary broke the law a lot. And if you believe 1628 01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:34,519 Speaker 1: the recent CEO of Overstock what he what he's had 1629 01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:36,120 Speaker 1: to say about this, you broke the law a lot 1630 01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:40,519 Speaker 1: more than people have even realized. When is enough enough? 1631 01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:44,120 Speaker 1: When when do we see that the mentality of the liberals, 1632 01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:46,439 Speaker 1: the mentality of the left in this country is such 1633 01:36:46,479 --> 01:36:50,439 Speaker 1: that their side should always be treated differently and better, 1634 01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:53,200 Speaker 1: that to be a liberal isn't just to be a 1635 01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:57,639 Speaker 1: better person, but to demand better treatment by the government, 1636 01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:03,640 Speaker 1: to demand that your team, so to speak, is always 1637 01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:07,720 Speaker 1: going to be in a position of strength visa other 1638 01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:11,680 Speaker 1: because the party that supports the government is now the 1639 01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:16,360 Speaker 1: party of the government. People inside, people in the bureaucracy, 1640 01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,479 Speaker 1: use their power to try not the elected officials. I'm 1641 01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:22,679 Speaker 1: talking about the bureaucrats. They try to crush the opposition. 1642 01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:25,639 Speaker 1: They try to crush the other side. That's what's going on. 1643 01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:29,679 Speaker 1: We see it happening Adam Wright's Buck. On the Twilight side, 1644 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:32,240 Speaker 1: it was Prestar Trek William Shatner, and the only other 1645 01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:35,559 Speaker 1: movie was Kat's Eye. I love James Woods in that 1646 01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:37,640 Speaker 1: movie Shields High. I didn't even realize James Woods was 1647 01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:40,519 Speaker 1: in that movie. By the way, I've missed James Woods Twitter. 1648 01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:44,719 Speaker 1: Why don't you get kicked off of Twitter? Funny story 1649 01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:48,120 Speaker 1: about James Woods. My grandmother on my mother's side was 1650 01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:54,360 Speaker 1: this very very elegant, very wonderful woman who was an 1651 01:37:54,360 --> 01:37:58,320 Speaker 1: actress and did a bit of modeling, and she did 1652 01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:02,320 Speaker 1: a play. It was I think a company theater or 1653 01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:05,880 Speaker 1: you know, a neighborhood theater thing, but she did a 1654 01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:12,320 Speaker 1: play and it was must have been forty oh, no, 1655 01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:15,120 Speaker 1: maybe thirty years ago, now something like that, maybe thirty 1656 01:38:15,200 --> 01:38:18,479 Speaker 1: years ago. And I knew that she had referred in 1657 01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:22,759 Speaker 1: the past to my friend Jimmy Woods, and my grandmother 1658 01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:25,320 Speaker 1: had said my friend Jimmy Woods. And I always thought 1659 01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:26,680 Speaker 1: that was kind of a funny thing because I had 1660 01:38:26,680 --> 01:38:28,840 Speaker 1: seen him in a bunch of different movies, you know, 1661 01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:32,479 Speaker 1: Casino and some other movie where he's playing a cop 1662 01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:33,760 Speaker 1: and I can't remember what his call, but I'd seen 1663 01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:39,160 Speaker 1: him a bunch of movies. And I tweeted at him 1664 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:42,640 Speaker 1: about at once, and he wrote that my grandmother, A 1665 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,840 Speaker 1: Jean was a lovely woman with excellent taste, because she 1666 01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:48,160 Speaker 1: said he was smart, and I thought that was very nice. 1667 01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:50,680 Speaker 1: It's very big of him, and that he clearly did 1668 01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:54,800 Speaker 1: remember her based on our exchange. So I like James Woods. 1669 01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:57,599 Speaker 1: I miss seeing his tweets, but his tweets were fire. 1670 01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:03,080 Speaker 1: James woods tweets were not to not for the faint 1671 01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:07,280 Speaker 1: of heart, that's for sure. Let's see we got here 1672 01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:10,320 Speaker 1: taft right. I've been serving the military now for six 1673 01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:12,840 Speaker 1: years in a combat arms unit, and then the last 1674 01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:15,639 Speaker 1: year we have received the first two females in our unit. Ever, 1675 01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:19,920 Speaker 1: neither of them have passed a single PT test since 1676 01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:23,560 Speaker 1: being with us. When we do our combat fitness assessments, 1677 01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:28,080 Speaker 1: they both complete last with terrible scores. It's not a 1678 01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:31,880 Speaker 1: sexism thing, It's a biology thing. I know a few 1679 01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:36,160 Speaker 1: females who can and do knock PT tests and CFAs 1680 01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:39,839 Speaker 1: out of the water, but they are the exceptions. Lives 1681 01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:44,840 Speaker 1: are more important than feelings. Well, taft I, as a civilian, 1682 01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:47,599 Speaker 1: would obviously agree with this assessment, and I know plenty 1683 01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:50,599 Speaker 1: of other guys in the military like you who agree 1684 01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,639 Speaker 1: with this assessment. And I just wonder at what point, 1685 01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:55,920 Speaker 1: at what point it's too much, At what point we 1686 01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:59,519 Speaker 1: all can agree and understand that there are lives that 1687 01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:02,240 Speaker 1: are going to be put at risk for this. It 1688 01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:05,559 Speaker 1: does remind me at some level of when people there's 1689 01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:09,200 Speaker 1: all this talk about pushing people forward an education. Oh, 1690 01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:11,439 Speaker 1: we need more diversity, we need to do this that. 1691 01:40:11,920 --> 01:40:16,479 Speaker 1: But when you start talking about cardiothoracic surgery, for example, 1692 01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:19,599 Speaker 1: you start talking about more elite medical professions, then all 1693 01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:22,120 Speaker 1: of a sudden, the whole oh, well, for the good 1694 01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:25,160 Speaker 1: of for the good of diversity, we're going to change 1695 01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:27,760 Speaker 1: the standards. People start to have a questions about this. 1696 01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:31,200 Speaker 1: I remember Ward Connolly, who was very involved in getting 1697 01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:36,040 Speaker 1: rid of racial admissions preferences in California. California State system 1698 01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:38,960 Speaker 1: got rid of racial preferences and guess what the school 1699 01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:42,840 Speaker 1: system is doing fine, and then you still have all 1700 01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:46,360 Speaker 1: different people of all different backgrounds going to university state 1701 01:40:46,400 --> 01:40:51,080 Speaker 1: school in California. It just means that you have at UCLA, 1702 01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:54,320 Speaker 1: for example, a very heavy Asian American population that's really 1703 01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:57,960 Speaker 1: been the main change, and those students have earned it. 1704 01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,960 Speaker 1: But there are places where you finally realize that the 1705 01:41:02,080 --> 01:41:06,800 Speaker 1: social justice tinkering is just too much. It's just too much. 1706 01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:11,800 Speaker 1: And when you start talking about forward deployed combat units, 1707 01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:14,800 Speaker 1: I hope, I hope everyone can agree that that's where 1708 01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,040 Speaker 1: it shouldn't matter. If the social justice components should not 1709 01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:21,880 Speaker 1: matter anymore. It should just be about what is best 1710 01:41:21,920 --> 01:41:25,640 Speaker 1: for defeating the enemy. That's what matters. All Right, we 1711 01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:27,720 Speaker 1: got more roll call coming up. Team. All right, roll 1712 01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:32,160 Speaker 1: call continues here. Let's see we got TJ's buck. Everyone's 1713 01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:34,439 Speaker 1: giving Obama a hard time for purchasing that new beach 1714 01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:36,280 Speaker 1: house at Martha's Vineyard, but I think it was pretty 1715 01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:40,240 Speaker 1: strategic on his part, hear me out. Think about it. 1716 01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:43,160 Speaker 1: What will motivate leftist more to fight climate change than 1717 01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:46,280 Speaker 1: being able to save the Chosen One's mansion from being 1718 01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:50,040 Speaker 1: destroyed by the rising sea level, they'll do whatever it 1719 01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,679 Speaker 1: takes to keep the Obamas from being flooded out, even 1720 01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:55,439 Speaker 1: if that means passing a fully socialized green new deal 1721 01:41:55,479 --> 01:42:01,760 Speaker 1: for the country. Yes, sarcasm was intended. It I see 1722 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:05,080 Speaker 1: what you're saying, Tj' You're a clever fellow and you're 1723 01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:08,720 Speaker 1: a good friend of the show. So thank you so 1724 01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:13,120 Speaker 1: much for writing in your humorous content. I'll say that 1725 01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:15,719 Speaker 1: thanks to you, J, you're the man. TJ's the man. 1726 01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:18,600 Speaker 1: I think he's wearing I can't really see it, but 1727 01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:20,680 Speaker 1: I think, yep, knowing he's wearing a shield high T 1728 01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,200 Speaker 1: shirt in his avatar TJ. That means I love you forever. 1729 01:42:23,320 --> 01:42:27,400 Speaker 1: That's what that means. You're my brother from another mother. 1730 01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:31,599 Speaker 1: Chris Ryan saying, hey, Buck, thanks for answering my question 1731 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:34,160 Speaker 1: regarding gun ownership, and if there's a home protection class 1732 01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:36,360 Speaker 1: that I can take. If you do plan on going 1733 01:42:36,360 --> 01:42:38,400 Speaker 1: to that class in the fall, the sheep dog class, 1734 01:42:38,560 --> 01:42:40,840 Speaker 1: let us know. My mom and I are so down 1735 01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:42,519 Speaker 1: to drive from San Diego to take it with you 1736 01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:45,479 Speaker 1: and everyone else from team Buck.

I mean, 1738 01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:51,799 Speaker 1: the thing is right now I've already got on the books. 1739 01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,440 Speaker 1: I got to get out to Vegas for the Stansbury 1740 01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:57,600 Speaker 1: Research Conference. Those of you that know what Stansbury Research is, 1741 01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:01,680 Speaker 1: you should definitely come out to that conference. It's October. 1742 01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:05,840 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, am I am I forgetting the dates. I'm having. 1743 01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,800 Speaker 1: I'm having a Joe Biden moment here. It is the 1744 01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:12,840 Speaker 1: seventh to the ninth is the Stansbury or maybe know 1745 01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:14,400 Speaker 1: the eighth and the ninth. But I'm gonna be out 1746 01:43:14,400 --> 01:43:17,120 Speaker 1: there the seventh of October, so I've got to go 1747 01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,160 Speaker 1: out there. And then I think I'm going into Nashville 1748 01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:21,080 Speaker 1: later on in October for an event, so I might 1749 01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:24,080 Speaker 1: see some folks in Nashville, and you know, I don't know. 1750 01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:25,400 Speaker 1: Then I might just have to go to some other 1751 01:43:25,439 --> 01:43:29,479 Speaker 1: country and defeat the terrorists. I'm very busy. I'm very 1752 01:43:29,479 --> 01:43:31,160 Speaker 1: busy with all these things. That said, I would love 1753 01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:34,879 Speaker 1: to get down to Austin KLBJ Austin in the House 1754 01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:37,920 Speaker 1: and try to hang out with all the team Buck 1755 01:43:37,960 --> 01:43:40,400 Speaker 1: Austin folks and do some cool shooting of guns and 1756 01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:43,080 Speaker 1: things like that with Tim Kennedy. Who you know, if 1757 01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna get trained by somebody or you know you're 1758 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna have somebody try to save your butt, either in 1759 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,519 Speaker 1: a firefight or a bar fight. I do think you 1760 01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:52,720 Speaker 1: want it to be, Tim Kennedy. I think that's I 1761 01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:57,160 Speaker 1: think that's real. Steve writes, I get tired about AOC 1762 01:43:57,280 --> 01:44:00,200 Speaker 1: and others talking about climate change that the glaciers are 1763 01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:04,000 Speaker 1: melting and sea levels rising. All a lie, glaciers displace 1764 01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:07,360 Speaker 1: water and when they melt, the water level doesn't rise. 1765 01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:10,320 Speaker 1: It stays right where it was. Do this test. Take 1766 01:44:10,320 --> 01:44:12,679 Speaker 1: a glass and put some ice cubes in it, then 1767 01:44:12,760 --> 01:44:14,920 Speaker 1: fill with water to a line. Mark it on the cup. 1768 01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:16,840 Speaker 1: Wait for the ice to melt. The water will be 1769 01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:19,600 Speaker 1: at the same line. As the ice melts, it displaces 1770 01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:26,280 Speaker 1: less water. It's plain science. Okay, Well, I think that 1771 01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:33,120 Speaker 1: glaciers displaced water when they melt, the water level doesn't rise. Um, 1772 01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:35,120 Speaker 1: I think you might have I think you might have 1773 01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:39,200 Speaker 1: a point here. Is that sound feasible? Mark?
