Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Bombshell indictment drops today

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: Julian Assange. They're going after him under the Espionage Act.

3
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: This is a major escalation. What does it mean about

4
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: the future of the First Amendment and journalism in this country? Also,

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: the war of words between Pelosi, the Dems and Trump

6
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: heats up. Will have that for you and oh so

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: much more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This

8

Speaker 1: is to decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. Make

Speaker 1: no mistake American. Let you're a great American Again the

Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, welcome

12
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: to the bar Sex and Show everybody. Thank you so

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: much for being here. Coming to you live from Los Angeles.

14
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, Sonny, Los Angeles, but LA, you

15
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: have let me down with the weather in the last

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: couple of days. I don't know what to say other

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: than that, you know, a couple of days ago, I

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: was on a rooftop getting sun, feeling like I was

19
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: one of these cool LA people. And now it's very,

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: very cloudy. There was hail yesterday. It was a big

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: hill storm here. People getting pelted it's no fun. We

22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: had some big things breaking just as I get on

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: the air today. The biggest one, of course, is this indictment.

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: I want to spend some time on this. We'll return

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: to the feud between Trump and Pelosi. What it means

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: going forward for the big I fight, Oh I the

27
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: impeachment word. And then is Buddha Judge? Is he the

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: one poised to leap to the front of the Democrat pack?

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think so. Betto is pretty much toast.

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Wait why am I toast? Bettos pretty much not gonna

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: make it happen. Boota Judge, however, he is more formidable

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: than these other Democrat clowns. And in an environment where

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: a political experience at a national level doesn't seem to

34
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: really matter all that much anymore. Look at our current president.

35
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Can a mayor from the Midwest with an interesting and,

36
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: let's be honest, very strong resume, can he be the

37
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: real Democrat contender? I will tell you this, I find

38
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: Buddha Judge more concerning than Joe Biden. I am very

39
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: I don't care what the polls say, very confident that

40
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: Trump will be able to defeat Joe Biden because Joe Biden.

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't mean this in a mean way. It's just

42
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: not a winner. He's just not a winner. It's just

43
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Bernie is kind of the wild card.

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, who knows what's gonna happen with Bernie. He

45
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders might win an if and this is a

46
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: giant if you had a massive cyclical economic recession in

47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: the six months or twelve months before, basically, if it

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: started let's say this fall, then I think Bernie socialism

49
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: as much as you. I think, oh no, that people

50
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't want higher taxes. Socialism is appealing to people when

51
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: they feel scared. Socialism becomes the warm security blanket that

52
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: the government offers you. Oh, we're going to make sure

53
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: it's those rich people. They're the reason, you see the

54
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: economy has gotten bad. They're the reason that things for

55
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: you aren't working out. We're going to take from them

56
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: and give, give, give to you. When people get scared,

57
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: they want to believe in the tooth fairy. They want

58
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: to believe in Santa Clause, and Santa only takes from

59
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: the rich people. They say, so, what's the big deal,

60
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: But we'll get there first. Let's do this a sane

61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: story here. I'm at a little surprised that this is

62
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: the direction the Department of Justice is going in right now,

63
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: because it's going to open up. It is opening up

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: right now as we speak. I mean, this just broke

65
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: on the major sites late this afternoon that the Justice

66
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Department has hit Julian Assange with eighteen additional charges, I believe,

67
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: most of which carry a penalty of up to ten

68
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: years in prison. Now, Asange, I'm assuming, let's start with this,

69
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: He's going to fight this. This guy's gonna fight I

70
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: cannot think of a world in which Louian Osange is

71
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: taking a plea deal. He's too much of a and

72
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: whatever you think of him, and I think, and I

73
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: spent a solid hour or interviewing him for a podcast

74
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, he has a very a

75
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: very high self regard. I mean, he really has a

76
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: kind of messianic complex about information and about transparency and

77
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: governments wanting to keep secrets from the people and the

78
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: reason just like with so many different conspiracy theorists. And

79
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Osange is a conspiracy theorist, but what

80
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: they say is powerful because it taps into something that

81
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: there is people who say a grain of truth. I

82
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: would often say, no, there's a there's a foundation of truth.

83
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: It's what they build on top of that that can

84
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: be so misleading or false or destructive. But it's more

85
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: than just a grain of truth. Right. You can't do

86
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: much with a grain of anything. But if you have

87
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: a foundation of truth and then you build lies on

88
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: top of it, you have something that can be both

89
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: very effective as propaganda but also very misleading governments. And

90
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: I used to work as you know it says that

91
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: at the top of the show every day, Buck Sexton,

92
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: former ci by It's former NYPD Intelligence Division analyst, is

93
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: what it should really say. Some of you have said,

94
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: wait a second, YPD. I was in the MYPD Intelligence Division,

95
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: which was a civilian contract unit that was doing counter

96
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: terrorism K essentially running counter terrorism cases in the New

97
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: York City area, in helping the MYPD with that, working

98
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: with the YPD on that we were MYPD employees. But

99
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: conversation for another time, back to Assange. Here's the problem.

100
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: They're going to say that what Asange has done here

101
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: is well, they're going to say, first and they already

102
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: are saying this, that he's not a journalist. And this

103
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: is an argument that I've had to have with many people.

104
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: What is a journalist? Now? You can think, as I do,

105
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: that Assange for all of his self deluded narcissism. You

106
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: can think that Assange is a good guy and a

107
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: warrior for truth. Or you can think that he's a

108
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: slimy guy who does Russia's bidding. And you want to

109
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of what happened in Sweden, whatever

110
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: that stuff's all about. These I think the charge there

111
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: was called sex by surprise, I mean that I think

112
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: that's what the which is a thing in Sweden. I

113
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: don't know anything about the truth of that case or not.

114
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: Those are purely allegations, and he is he should be

115
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: entitled to at least illegal, if not media presumption of

116
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: innocence on those matters. There's not really a presumption of

117
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: innocence when it comes to the publishing of classified information,

118
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: and in the sense that there's no dispute in the

119
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: facts about whether that happened. Assange admits that. So now

120
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 1: the issue is does he fall under the Espionage Act?

121
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: And if he falls under the Espion, which is a law,

122
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: as people often point out from the early twentieth century,

123
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: at a time when it is often forgotten now, at

124
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: a time when the First Amendment was under a very

125
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: real assault. You have people who will often say, oh,

126
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: it's like yelling fire in a crowded theater, and they

127
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: think that that's an argument ender. Well, they forget that

128
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: that was in reference to a Supreme Court That was

129
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court justice making that reference about handing out

130
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: pamphlets that were opposed to the First World War, a

131
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: socialist handing out anti war pamphlets, which anybody now would

132
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: recognize as protected speech. But he was saying, well, that's

133
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: like yelling fire in a crowd. At the there was

134
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: active speech suppression. People often forget now that there was

135
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: a series of laws passed in the early eighteen hundreds

136
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: called the Alien and Sedition Acts. You know what sedition

137
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: was whatever the United States government at the time decided

138
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: it was, including for people publishing newspapers. Also, at that

139
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: time you had newspapers that were known to be supportive

140
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: of different candidates, known to be supportive of different political

141
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: ideologies and parties. I would say that newspaper because we

142
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: borrowed from the British system, where it's also you're now

143
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: a Labor Party, a Tory sorry, a Labor Party paper,

144
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: a Tory paper, a conservative Marxist, they're open about that.

145
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: In this country we have this facade of journalism is

146
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: a subjective thing, which is a lie, does not exist.

147
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: There are objective facts. There's no objective journalism. People should

148
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: be honest about what they think, who they are, what

149
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: they believe, and they present you facts as such, because

150
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: without facts, you have no credibility, no matter who you are.

151
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: But at the earliest days of our republic, there were efforts,

152
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: there were laws passed by the Congress that were in

153
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: direct contravention to the First Amendment, and people were threatened

154
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: with imprisonment. I believe some people were sent for short

155
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: periods of time to prison. John Adams made to look

156
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: so good by Paul Giamati in that HBO series. John

157
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: Adams was a proponent of this can't have really dangerous

158
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: thoughts about you know, the US and the War of

159
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: eighteen twelve was looming, and they didn't know that at

160
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: the time, but you know, you had the problems with Britain,

161
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: and you had the debts and impressment of our sailors

162
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: on the open seas, and all this stuff going on,

163
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: you can't have people saying crazy stuff. That's edition really

164
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: and is its edition now? To say that there aren't

165
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: thirty seven genders? You might be laughing, but I'm in California.

166
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure we could find people who think that

167
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: it is sedition to say there aren't thirty seven genders?

168
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: Why not forty? Why not a nice even number? Why

169
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: make it thirty seven? Hard? I think Harvard University is

170
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: one that listed at thirty seven on the application. Julius

171
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: Songs accused it violing the Espionage Act. Okay, let's work

172
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: through this together. What has he done? He took information

173
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: that was classified, and he claims through his organization that

174
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: they never and this is the big dispute is going

175
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: to be, did they endanger sources? Because that's the one

176
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: place where even like journalists are supposed to protect their sources.

177
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: But keep in mind journalists, then that's kind of a

178
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: handshake agreement. There's no legal legal protection really for sources,

179
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: certainly not at the federal level. And the Obama administration

180
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: showed that they would throw journalists in prison if they

181
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: did not reveal their sources. So there's no real source

182
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: protection for journalists. That's just a you know, scout's honor thing.

183
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: But we all understand that endangering sources is very real

184
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: from a national security perspective. It's it is legally protected,

185
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: as it should be. But we've gotten used to a

186
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: left wing press corps in this country that overwhelmingly takes

187
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: it upon themselves to publish whatever classified information they want

188
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: whenever they want, over the objections, often of the national

189
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: security agencies, the United States Military. They think they're the

190
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: arbiters of it. The New York Times, the Washington Post,

191
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: they make the decisions as to what is in America's

192
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: national security interest. Now they don't have any legal protection

193
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: for those and by the letter of the law, and

194
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: I love when journalists argue with me on this because

195
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: they're always wrong and they're so ignorant. By the letter

196
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: of law, there is no particular protection for journalists for

197
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: publishing classified information. In fact, the New York Times publishing

198
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: classified information, which it has done many, many times, The

199
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Washington Post, many other outlets now too. The Intercept loves intercepts.

200
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: It give them something classified, they'll want to publish it, right,

201
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, don't do that. But I'm saying

202
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: if one were to do that. You know, they love

203
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: publishing classified information. There are many others that have published

204
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: classified information right and they assume that the DJ policy

205
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: will hold that you don't. You don't go after the journalists,

206
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: You only go after the person who passes along the information. Now,

207
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: for I have long argued that that's a distinction that

208
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: is perhaps a clean one for legal purposes, but the

209
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: moral distinction there is much hazier. That journalists who do

210
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: some of the things that we have seen journalists do

211
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: in this country are betraying their country. They can think

212
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: it's transparency, but it is a betrayal of the country

213
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: to take information that you know to be harmful, for

214
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: it to be aired out publicly, and just to do it.

215
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: But how do we then balance that out in a

216
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: society where we know that the government will often hide

217
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: stuff from us. Well, right now we're seeing this. They don't.

218
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: They keep saying sources and methods about the fives of

219
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: warrants used in the Russia collusion hoax. They keep yelling,

220
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: you know, sources and methods whenever they need to cover

221
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: up something that Komi or Brannan or any of these

222
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: people did. We try to get that information the government

223
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: claimed secrecy. We're trying to fight through that. So the

224
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: government does overclassify, hide things, and use secrecy as a

225
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: means of evading accountability, because that is always what the

226
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy wants to do. Federal bureaucracies want to evade accountability,

227
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: and they will abuse the power that they have to

228
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: that end. So we have this difficult balancing act. Right,

229
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: we have this First Events supposed to protect the free press,

230
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: also protect freedom of speech as a general proposition. The

231
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: free speech rights of the first of the New York

232
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: Times and their First Amendment protections are no different from yours,

233
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: and don't never forget that they don't have any special protection.

234
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: The Department of Justice may have said, well, if you're

235
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: a government employee, we're going to hold you to a

236
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: different standard than someone who works in the New York Times.

237
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: But this is going to be messy, my friends, bringing

238
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: of charges against Julian Assange in this way, not just

239
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: for the hacking. I think they could have gotten him.

240
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: I think they probably had a decent line at getting

241
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: him on those and that's a universally applicable law. We're

242
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: going to have the federal government now adjudicating who is

243
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: a journalist and who gets the protections handed to journalists,

244
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: not by the Constitution per se, but by the Department

245
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: of Justice, just deciding who and who to prosecutor who

246
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: not to. I know that you may be saying, well, Buck,

247
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: that's probably the best way, but that gives the government

248
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: a lot of power. Think about what it means for

249
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: the government to adjudicate who's a journalist and who's not

250
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: under a Bernie Sanders administration. Think about what it means

251
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: the federal government to determine who's a journalist and who's

252
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: not under an Ocasio Cortez heaven forbid administration. You think

253
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: they're going to be fair minded about it. They're trying

254
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: to kick us off of social media platforms. They're trying

255
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: to kick us off of Facebook and Twitter, and they

256
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: want us gone. Half the country is not allowed to

257
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: hold the beliefs that it does. So this is this

258
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: is important. Whatever you think of Assange, this matters. We

259
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: have a lot more on this, and also the Pelosi

260
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: Trump fight, and it's going to be a busy day

261
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: here in the Freedom hud. Friends. We will be right back. Ah.

262
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: This is this is so typical. We've got New York

263
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Times here on the front page talking about how the

264
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: assans the superseding indictment. Remember they already charged him. He's

265
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: right now in British custody. I'm assuming there's some negotiation

266
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes about whether they were going

267
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: to have to give the Brits some kind of guarantees that,

268
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: for example, I don't think anyone thinks the death penalty

269
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: is on the table, but the death penalty couldn't be

270
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: on the table. But now he's got these additional counts

271
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: and the superseding indictment, it looks like the Brits are

272
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: going to hand him over to US. And New York

273
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: Times is saying, this rage's major First Amenment issues, and

274
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: here's where you're going to see Trump's arrangement syndrome come

275
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: into play. They're going to act like this administration when

276
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: it comes to press freedom, is this horrible tyrant, and

277
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: that what Trump is doing is destroying First Amendment protection

278
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: for journalists, and the media is going to rally behind

279
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: a Sane even though many of you will recall it

280
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: was a Sane that they hated not long ago because

281
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: of what he did or his role in the release

282
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: of the DNC emails that prevented Queen Hillary, Yes, Queen Hillary,

283
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Queen Hillary from becoming the next press of the United States.

284
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: So all of these people that were at one point

285
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: very very angry with Julian Asange and the press right

286
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: because he played for the wrong team on that one.

287
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: He all of a sudden wasn't helpful to them. They

288
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: loved as Songe when it came to Chelsea Manning and

289
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: the release of classified American classified information about the US

290
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: Warrener Rock in Afghanistan. They thought he was great then,

291
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: but then they hated him because he released the Bernie

292
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: Sanders DNC, which was just telling us we already knew

293
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: that they were in the tankment. Everybody knew they were

294
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: in the tank for Hillary. Of course they were in

295
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: the tank for Hillary. The whole system was in the

296
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: tank for Hillary. But we had proof when those emails

297
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: came out. Not a single email was fabricated. By the way,

298
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: It isn't noteworthy noteworthy point of accuracy. But then you

299
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: get to what's going to happen now. The press sees

300
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: this as an opportunity to get on their soap boxes

301
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: and unite and lock arms about how terrible Trump is

302
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: on the First Amendment. They are going to hope that

303
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: we all forget that. It was the Obama administration that

304
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: listed James Rosen from Fox News as an unindicted co

305
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: conspirator in a classified league investigation. It was the Obama

306
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: administration that pulled the Associated Press's phone records. It was

307
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: the Obama administration that prosecuted a journalist for not revealing

308
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: a source for a book, or threatened to prosecute him.

309
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: They're going to put him in prison. I spoke to

310
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: that journalist. But the facts aren't going to get in

311
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: the way of the narrative. My friends. They're going to

312
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: start saying Trump is the biggest threat to the First

313
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: Amendment ever. That's what they're going to say, even though

314
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: he's not even as big a threat as the last

315
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: guy to hold the office of the presidency was. But

316
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna hope you forget that. We'll be back. He's

317
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: holding the line for America. Buck sex in his back.

318
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: Big fight brewing over the Espionage Act and this Julian

319
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: Assan's indictment. I just wanted to want to close the

320
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: loop on this one, because this is this is going

321
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: to set up a whole New Line. Every everything is

322
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: about Trump all the time, right. I mean, we're going

323
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: to talk to my friend, and I wish that wasn't

324
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: the case, but that's what the media does. We're going

325
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: to talk to my friend, Tyler Merritt, great guy, CEO

326
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: of nine Line Apparel, spec Ops veteran, he was one

327
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: of those elite combat helicopter pilots. He was an APACHE

328
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: pilot and flue with different Special Operations units. He's going

329
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: to join us to talk about the Eddie Gallagher case

330
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: and also John Walker Lynde being released later on the show.

331
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: But as you see with the Eddie Gallagher case, the

332
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: Navy seal that people are accusing of war crimes before

333
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: they even have access to the information, before they've heard

334
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: his defense, they're just saying, oh, you must be guilty

335
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: of war crimes. Because you know, they like to take

336
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: the most negative anti American view possible, and much of

337
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: our leftist press they think that that gives them some

338
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: kind of moral high ground. That's something they like to do.

339
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: But you know the fact that matters. The press does

340
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: have often has an anti American or far left bias

341
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: that runs contrary to the interests of what you think

342
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: you'd see from normal Americans. But when you add Trump

343
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: into the mix, anything that can be used as some

344
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: kind of rhetorical ideological weapon against Trump will be used

345
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: as such. Anything out there that they can do to

346
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: make Trump the problem and use it to that is

347
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: part of the obsession they. I was going to say

348
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: they can't help it. I don't know if that's quite true,

349
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: but it's almost like they can't help themselves. They're so

350
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: unbelievably and completely wrapped up in their hashtag resistance mania.

351
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: And with this Julian Assan situation, you will see people

352
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: completely abandoned. They are previous criticisms of Assange. They're oh

353
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: journalists who but a year ago, but a few months ago,

354
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: maybe even we're saying he's a stooge for the FSB,

355
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: which is the Federal nayaslas bisi pleas nesti, which is

356
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: the Russian domestic intelligence service. Say that one five times

357
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: real fast. It's fun. It's anything federal naya, it's fun

358
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: to say. Right Russian words. I know about five Russian words,

359
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: that's three of them. The other words are yet and

360
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: those Dania. So I know I miss commy bear too.

361
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: I just thought about that some of you are like

362
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: Buck Commy Beart, Yeah, I know there's a possibility it

363
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: might happen. But back to Asange, they're going to forget

364
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 1: about all the criticisms they had of him in the past.

365
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: They're going to abandon the line of argument that he's

366
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: not really a journalist because he was doing the bidding

367
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: of a he was operating as a foreign a non

368
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: state foreign intelligence service. That's been the knock on Assange

369
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: for a while, and there were some in the journal

370
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: community that in the context of Russia collusion, DNC, the hacking,

371
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: they were willing to go along with that. Now they're

372
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna just he's going to be the ultimate free speech martyr,

373
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: not because they cared that much about free speech. I

374
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: assure you this. If the Obama administration had decided to

375
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: bring these charges against Assange, there would have been much

376
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: more muted Yeah, some people would write some medatorials. I'm

377
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: not going to say there'd be nothing much more muted

378
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: criticism of the administration's decision, because ultimately, journalists care first

379
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: and foremost about having their ideas in power, having the

380
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: people they like and support, making decisions that affect the

381
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: rest of the country. And the rest of the world.

382
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: That is why they are activists more than they are journalists.

383
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: They're seeking an outcome. They're not just providing information for

384
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: the sake of informing the public. That's a lie. That's

385
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: why journalism, speaking of foundations before, contemporary American journalism is

386
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: built upon a fraudulent foundation that they're unbiased, they're nonpartisan,

387
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: and they don't have an agenda. They absolutely have an agenda.

388
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: You know, I tell you I have an agenda. My

389
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: agenda is to support conservative values and beliefs, to explain

390
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: what's going on around you know, around the country and

391
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: around the world, and to do so honestly and in

392
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 1: a way that brings both information and some entertainment value.

393
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: And you can listen to me, and then if you

394
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: want to go listen to some COMI podcasts somewhere from somebody,

395
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: you can do that and decide who's right. But I

396
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: make a compelling casty. I'm honest about it, or at

397
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: least I hope it's a compelling case. But I tell

398
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: you where I'm coming from. I don't sit here and say, well,

399
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: I have no opinions, and now let me give you

400
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: one hundred opinions in a row, but I have no opinions.

401
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't pull the Anderson Cooper, the Jake Tapper. I

402
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: don't even think MSNBC thinks that they're journalists. But oh no,

403
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: we're just objective, Joy, ABC News. We're just objective journalists. Man, Yeah,

404
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: sure you are. Go go walk around any newsroom that's

405
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: not Fox News or the Wall Street journal in the

406
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: country with a maga hat on and see what people

407
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: say and how they look at you. Oh yeah, we're objective.

408
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: Like we're all a bunch of idiots. The mainstream media

409
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: does think that everyone who doesn't agree with them is

410
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: an idiot, So I guess it's not surprising at all.

411
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: But there will be a massive shift in the tone

412
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: and in the respect for and everything around Assange because

413
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: this is going to become another line of attack going

414
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: into the election cycle that Donald Trump is now they've

415
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: been saying he's a threat to journalism like a bunch

416
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: of little babies. I wish we had some of the

417
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: bed Stelters destroyed. The first to bebbed by sag that

418
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: I have a huge dweeb and I should have my

419
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: own cable douche show. But I do because it look

420
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: like jib zeppu. You know, that's not really to a

421
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: normal person, Trump making fun of Brian Stelter is not

422
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 1: a threat to the First Amendment. It's kind of funny.

423
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: It's not actually eliminating any of our rights to free

424
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: speech and free expression. It is, in fact responding to

425
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: the First Amendment. With the First Amendment, it is speech

426
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: against speech, which is what we want the marketplace of ideas.

427
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: You know, when Trump calls some Democrat stupid, or calls

428
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: some Democrat or Republican low energy or low iq or

429
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is, that's not a threat against that person.

430
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: And that is just the president of the United States,

431
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: who granted has a very big bully pulpit, but it

432
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: really is matched on the other side by the media,

433
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: and he's using his First Amendment rights. That's always so

434
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: funny to me too, this claim that Trump is such

435
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: a threat to our democracy a much bigger threat. And

436
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: having been in a country where the press, just recently

437
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: being in China, where the press do the bidding of

438
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: the government explicitly, I mean, you have state controlled media.

439
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: We're supposed to be so worried after eight years of

440
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: ninety percent of journalists essentially giving Barack Obama carte blanche

441
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: to do whatever he wanted, and you know, just just

442
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: write trying to write the most flowery sonnets about Obama's

443
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: genius and poise and coolness and all this other stuff.

444
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: How much doth the press love Obama? Let me count

445
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: the ways? Right, That's what it was for eight years.

446
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: That is far more dangerous to your freedoms, far more

447
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: dangerous to your rights than what then the dynamic. Forget

448
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: about the reality of Trump or second, and just think

449
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: of the dynamic right now, you know, forget about the

450
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: tweets and all that, the specifics of whether you like

451
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: them or not. You have a president who has the

452
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: entirety of the media in opposition to him, and we're

453
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be so where that is so worrisome, not

454
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: at all that you could you could argue that that's

455
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: actually a pretty good balance in some ways, meaning that

456
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: you have a check on the president's ability. And I

457
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: would argue that with Trump, which you have, is the

458
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 1: first time that it feels like an even playing field

459
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: in the messaging war. And that's why the journalists and

460
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: the left hate him so much. We've got we've just

461
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: been led to believe that the left should always have

462
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: a platform, information platform based information dominance in American politics

463
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: and news, and it doesn't have to be that way.

464
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be that this is this is

465
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: how they can say. Other Wise intelligent or at least

466
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: reasonably intelligent journalist will say the press is in biased.

467
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: Look at Fox News, like, are you a moron? That's

468
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: one channel versus the dozens and dozens of news channels

469
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: out there that offer completely and utterly left of centered,

470
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: a far left perspective on what's going on in America

471
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: every day. And then your answer is there's one channel

472
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: that doesn't do that. I know some of you yelling

473
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: me buck One America News. I love Pisobic, high five Pisobic,

474
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: But you know, the One America is working on it,

475
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: working on it. Not quite at the ratings yet from

476
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: a understand of Fox. But I get your messages. Some

477
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: of you are like, fuck, you gotta give One America

478
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: more love. I like some of the One America folks.

479
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: I don't really know the moll Tommy Larron came from there,

480
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: my buddy Tommy Larren. She's originally so I gotta give

481
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: One America credit for finding her, Just like those of

482
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: you that have been a little critical of my former employer.

483
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: You know, I am always and forever thankful to Glenn

484
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: Beck for bringing me into the business man. He got

485
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: me started in media. He gave me my start. You

486
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: got it. You always have a there's a defference in

487
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: a respect to those that give you your first break,

488
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: and for me that that's Glenn Beck. But back to

489
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: the war over the First Amendment that we're about to

490
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: see a play out. I wanted to tell you this

491
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: all today because in the days ahead, you know, I

492
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: want to get I want to get in front of

493
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: this because I can see it playing out right now.

494
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: I can see how they're going to position all of this,

495
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: and that Trump is a tyrant storyline is just going

496
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: to get magnified. And the Assan's trial, assuming that he

497
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: is transferred into US custody, is going to be an

498
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: opportunity not really to fight out the First Amendment, because

499
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: they'll whenever happens in the Assan's trial, they will cast

500
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: aside the next time around they either like or don't

501
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: like someone. Democrats don't base decisions about violation of law

502
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: anymore at these high levels when there's politics involved in

503
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: a case, it's do they like the person or not?

504
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: What do they want to have happen? What the laws

505
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: are in place don't really matter. You know, did Hillary

506
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: violent the Espionage Act? Yes? She did. Do Democrats care? No,

507
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: of course they think that that doesn't matter, doesn't doesn't

508
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: cut the mustard. By the way, why do people say

509
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: that is Mark is one able to cut mustard? That

510
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so? No, you know, wouldn't you cut

511
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: like the bree or the saucy song or something that

512
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: was kind of bougier sounding that I meant it to be.

513
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't think you cut the mustard.

514
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: But they are willing to push aside the law whenever

515
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: it suits their interests, and that's what they'll that's what

516
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: they'll push aside the law in this case if they

517
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: want to. But I think we'll have to see the

518
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: specifics of the evidence against Assange. I then there's one

519
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: other thing that I'm perhaps out on my own on

520
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: this one. I know a lot of a lot of journalists,

521
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: or I shouldn't say journalist, A lot of national security

522
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: people disagree with me on this. I don't really understand

523
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: how it is that we can make the case that

524
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: somebody who is not a US citizen and not on

525
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: US soil has an obligation to protect the government secrets

526
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: of the United States. And this is this is I'm

527
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: on my own on this one. Not a lot of

528
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: people make this case, but I've, as somebody who used

529
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: to work in the secret world and now work in

530
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: the open world, I've I've wondered about this for quite

531
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: some time. If I violate state secrets from the Chinese,

532
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: let's which I'm not. I was not over there. Just

533
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: before anyone gets any ideas, I was not doing anything

534
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: other than you know, learning and being a tourist. But

535
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: if I were to violate the Chinese government's state secrets laws,

536
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: would the United States be obligated to hand me over?

537
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: What if I just talk to some dissidents as a

538
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: journalist and the Chinese government said, you know that that's

539
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: not acceptable. Why should And in this case, he's an

540
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: Aussie citizen, and I know people are going to say,

541
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: well buck, the Australian government is willing to give him

542
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: over and they'll play ball in this right, But should

543
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: they should they because they're the Aussies and they're close

544
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: friends and allies, they will and they have, or they're

545
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: they're willing to not make a fuss about it, I think.

546
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: But this opens up a very interesting, whole separate part

547
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: of the analysis here, which is, do I, as an

548
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: American citizen, do I have an obligation to protect the

549
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: secrets of any country that is not America? I would

550
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: argue to you, and maybe this is just an intellectual exercise,

551
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: though I don't think it is. Think of my China example.

552
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: But I would argue to you the answers, No, I

553
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: only have an obligation to protect American government information as

554
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: an American citizen. I don't have an obligation to protect

555
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: Russian or Chinese. And put aside the fact that I'm

556
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: an X spy, I mean, I mean just as an American,

557
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: and I think that should be the case across the board.

558
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: So don't we have to apply that logic to Assange

559
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: as well? Why is he on the hacking thing? Look,

560
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: you can't hack. I understand that there are laws against

561
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: hacking in Australia, In Great Britain, I mean that's a crime,

562
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: right stealing as a crime, you can't do certain things.

563
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: But publishing classified according to the United States, is that

564
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: only because the Australia and the British recognize those classifications

565
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: as valid too. Maybe. I mean, you know, there's there's

566
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: some intricacies here, to be sure, But I just think

567
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: we all need to be very clear that I do

568
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: not I feel I feel no moral obligation as an

569
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: American to protect the secrets of a government that is

570
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: not my government. So don't we have to think a

571
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: little bit about what that really means. If we have

572
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: a whistleblower in this country who publishes all kinds of

573
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: embarrassing stuff about the Russian government but name sources, and

574
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 1: the Russians say, look, it's not the embarrassing information that

575
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: we oppose, it's the naming of our sources and putting

576
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: them in danger. So so hand that guy over to

577
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: an uncle Vlad and company, because we got to handle

578
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: this the old Russian way. Would we hand that person

579
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: over assuming they were not working, by the way, for

580
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: the United States government, They just did this on their own.

581
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: They did this for themselves. For whatever reason, We're going

582
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: to hand them over. I would be curious to know

583
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: what some of the folks out there would think about

584
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: this one. But as you can tell, this is this

585
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: is a case that we're going to hear about for

586
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: quite some time, and it brings up a lot of things.

587
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: But we've also got Pelosi and Trump squaring off. They're

588
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: really making the case, folks, that it's Trump who's the

589
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: political big mean meaning they just want to They just

590
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: want to get things done. Democrats just want to They

591
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: just want to be friends. No, they don't. We all

592
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: know this, But at some level, I think the Democrat based,

593
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: the left wing base enjoys the bald face lie from

594
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: prominent Democrats about how they want to reach across the aisle.

595
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: They want to do infrastructure. It's it's gaslighting, you know,

596
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: it's it's meant to be brazen. It's it's meant to

597
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: be an insult. Pelosi pretending she wants to work with

598
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is an insult, not just a Trump, but

599
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: to all of us too. We know, we know that's

600
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: a joke. I love more on this though, coming up,

601
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: team stay with me when I'm not where. I think

602
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: we all to pull the trigger on that. The fact

603
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: that the matter is all that we've seen in recent days,

604
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: people refusing to testify, people tending to listen to this

605
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: White House when they'll have to all these things bother

606
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: me tremendously, but I did not want to rush to

607
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: adjustment on anything. I believe in going through the steps.

608
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: I think, you know, many members are just at that

609
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: point of what is the next step for me? The

610
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: next step the camel that broke the straw. The straw

611
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 1: that broke the camel's back was having another witness not

612
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: show up to a committee after they're supposed to. But

613
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: for other members, they're all looking at what that step

614
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: will be. But I think there is truly a feeling

615
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: that this is becoming not just obstruction but a cover

616
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: up of what happened. Oh, it's obstruction of obstruction. You see,

617
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 1: obstruction of obstruction. They're coming up with new legal theories

618
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: all the time. Here. Trump is the worst president in

619
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: the history of the world. He's destroying the country. He

620
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: can be impeached one hundred times over. But we're not

621
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: sure if we should impeach him yet. We really want

622
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: to play the process out. These people are such idiots. Oh, Congress,

623
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: you guys are fun. I mean, there's a million reasons

624
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: to impeach the present. We must, our constituents demand. The

625
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: country needs the impeachment of Donald Trump. But we got

626
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: to slow this down a little bit, you know, just

627
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, kick it back to neutral, relax little see

628
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: if maybe impeachment's the way to go. Which is it? Folks,

629
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: can't be both. It can't be both. Trump can't literally

630
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 1: be worse than Hitler, as the Democrats seem to think,

631
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: but not necessarily be worthy of impeachment. It cannot be

632
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: both things. You know, they're they're anti Trump. Hysteria goes

633
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: beyond the courage. They would need to do something about it,

634
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: that much is for sure. Another one want to see

635
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: that they've already got the conclusion, but they want to

636
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: see the process play out. The suspect is already guilty,

637
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: but we want to see a trial first. That is

638
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: how Craft's approach impeachment, and that is why they are clowns.

639
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: We got more on me. She's a mess, luckless face it.

640
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: She doesn't understand it, and they sort of feel she's

641
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: disintegrating before the RUSS. You know, she's a mess. Luckless

642
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: face it, she doesn't understand it, and they sort of

643
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: feel she's disintegrating before the RUSS. She does not understand it.

644
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: They want to have her understand and it before we

645
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: it's finished. Its signed as you know, Mexico has approved

646
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: the deal, Canada has approved the deal, and they're waiting

647
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: to get a signal for her. Now I would say this,

648
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: the farmers should start talking to the Democrats in the House.

649
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: The Senate's ready to approve it, the Republican Senate, but

650
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: the Democrat House is not. Pelosi does not understand, all right,

651
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: So you get a team. Welcome back to the Bucks

652
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: Accent show. That was Trump today. He was at a

653
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: meeting where he was talking about the sixteen billion dollars

654
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: in federal aid that's going to the farmers who have

655
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 1: been hits, particularly in the Midwest. You know, the Chinese

656
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: are very strategically trying to that's right, involve them, involve

657
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: themselves in the American election process by making sure that

658
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: they target parts of the country with their trade policy

659
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: that they think will be politically damaging for Trump. So

660
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: they're very aware of this. There's all kinds of ways

661
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: that you could talk about foreign interference in elections. Christopher

662
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: Steele a foreigner relying on foreign sources Russians to create

663
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 1: the Steel dossier to feed to the journalists and the FBI.

664
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: THEO you need to a miracle, I give you the FBI.

665
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: That's all foreign interference. The election too. But now you've

666
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 1: got Trump standing before the American people to talk about

667
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: the sixteen billion dollars in federal aid. And look, this

668
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: is this is smart politics for them. I know. People say, oh,

669
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: it's not free market, Well, you know, it's not free

670
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: market to the Chinese are engaging in all this tariffs

671
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: and jacking up the prices on us and stuff they've

672
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: been doing for a long time, the intellectual property, theft,

673
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: all of it. That's not free market. That's not obeying

674
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: that's not obeying the rules of the marketplace and then

675
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: letting the best man win. They're cheating. No one denies,

676
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 1: at least no one of this country who knows anything

677
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: denies that they're cheating. But the consensus opinion from the

678
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: so called smart set had been for a very long time.

679
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: Now we just sit back and take it. When it

680
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: comes to the Chinese, we have no means of fighting back.

681
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: We're the biggest economy in the world, the most powerful

682
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,959
Speaker 1: military in the world, the most culturally influential country in

683
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: the world. But China can do whatever it wants to

684
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: us in terms of trade, and we just sit and say, well,

685
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 1: maybe they'll stop one day. I don't think so. But

686
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: you had President Trump decide that he was going to

687
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: turn this discussion about Look, he understands what are the

688
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: people really want to hear about. I mean, he's having

689
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: this meeting, you know, to talk about the sixteen billion

690
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: dollars in federal aid. I get it right, He's you

691
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: gotta make his case for the American people about why

692
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: there needs to be some patience in dealing with this

693
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: trade ward. Trade war is not going anywhere, and the

694
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: markets are starting to price this in, you know. So

695
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: the Trump administration saying, all right, we're gonna we're gonna

696
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: try to batten down the hatches a bit and prepare

697
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: for a longer haul here. And I think that much

698
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: of that is just the Chinese trying to wait this out.

699
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: Much much better deal for the Chinese going to come

700
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: from Buddha Judge or Sanders or Biden or whomever administration.

701
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: So why not wait a little bit. They've got enough,

702
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: They've got enough in the tank to deal with this

703
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: for a year. So Trump says, all right, we're gonna

704
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: get the sixteen billion dollars. We're gonna try to offset

705
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: some of the pain that growers in Midwestern states are

706
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: going to have as a result of this, and you've

707
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: got some stocks and bonds taken a hit today. I

708
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: don't know how much any of you care about that,

709
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: but that did happen. But that's not really where the

710
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: political fight is right now. As much as as much

711
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: as the economic conditions here are on everyone's minds, what

712
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: really seems to be capturing our imaginations at this moment

713
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: is that the Democrats are simultaneously telling the American people

714
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: that the president is as a criminal, that the president

715
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 1: should be impeached, that the president cannot even finish out

716
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: the eighteen months that he has left in office. They

717
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: are dead set on finding some process to prematurely end

718
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: his administration. That's what they want to do. And even

719
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,240
Speaker 1: if they don't get to the eventual goal along the way,

720
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: if they can do damage the administration, well, and that's

721
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: a benefit to them too. So they feel like this

722
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 1: is win win. They feel like there's no matter what

723
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: happens here, they're happy with the outcome of using the

724
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 1: process as some kind of weapon against Trump. But it's

725
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: one thing to do that, and as gross and irresponsible

726
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: as I see that to be, it's another thing to

727
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: do that, which is what democrats have been up to

728
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: for quite a while. Now. We've all known. I've been

729
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: saying it, You've been saying it. We're aware, we know

730
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: what the game plan is here. But they do this

731
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: and then they turn around and get mad at Trump,

732
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: or at least pretend that, oh, I'm so mad at Trump.

733
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: They pretend to be upset at him because he's not

734
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: being more bipartisan, because he's not going to take it

735
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: lying down, because he's not accepting of this status quo

736
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 1: where Democrats can go in front of the microphones and say,

737
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: the press the United States is a crazy person, needs

738
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: to be removed from office, all these things. You know,

739
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: it needs to be impeached, although they're not sure they're

740
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: going to do it, but he needs to be impeacher.

741
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: Just not sure they're going to do it. And then

742
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 1: walk up to him and say, hey, mister press, and

743
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about a couple of trillion dollars of

744
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: infrastructure spending. Let's really work together on this, let's let's

745
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: really see eye to eye on this issue. I'm sorry,

746
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: that's not the way the world works. Some of you

747
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: may recall one of my favorite, one of my favorite

748
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: Chaney moments. That's right, Dick Cheney. Cheney, remember at leased

749
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: to do that, kind of like the penguin. That was

750
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: John Stewart who popularized that. It says nothing like Cheney,

751
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: but that just became a thing that they did, kind

752
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: of like Halloa, Hillary, does it sound like her? No?

753
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 1: But do you know who I'm talking about? Yes, you do.

754
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm still running. She might, she might. I know, you say,

755
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: she's not tactically running, but I think in her heart

756
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: of hearts, Hillary thinks she's still She's still running. But

757
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: I remember when Cheney, the press was all, oh, good heavens,

758
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: there was all this pearl clutching and oh the press

759
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: got the vapors that were so upset when Vice President

760
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: Cheney had some very choice words for the shrouner from Vermont,

761
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: ley Ers Chalulenge kind of like gurgling Gurgan from Shion

762
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: and pretty much the shame guy. But pad Laye from

763
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: from Vermont said some terror. I forget what it was,

764
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: but you know, he basically, you know, Chaney is like

765
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: a war criminal who is horrible or something like that.

766
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: He said something really nasty about Chaney. I don't remember

767
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: what it was, so leave that part of it out.

768
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: But Cheney um responded to him outside of a committee

769
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: here and remember something where where lay had said those

770
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: things with in in New York City. We referred to

771
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: it as you know, a New York goodbye, go something

772
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: something yourself to Lahy. And I think that sometimes such

773
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: words are very much called for. I think that sometimes

774
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: that is the way to deal with people. I think

775
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: that Democrats do need to be called on their stuff,

776
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: and harsh language is sometimes called for. It depends on

777
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: the setting. He wasn't in fun of little kids or anything.

778
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: And Trump isn't going to sit around and have Nancy

779
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: Pelosi and these other Democrats do the whole impeachment circuit

780
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: going on seeing at an MSNBC and then sit down

781
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 1: with them and act like everything's cool. Are we really

782
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: supposed to blame him for that? Are we really to

783
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: take it as some terrible offense? Nancy Pelosi certainly thinks,

784
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: so play the latest from crazy Nancy. The President again

785
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 1: stormed out, I think what first, pound the table, walk

786
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: out the door. Next time, have the TV cameras in there.

787
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: While I have my say, that didn't work for him either.

788
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 1: And now this time, another temper tantrum. Again. I pray

789
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: for the President of the United States. I wish that

790
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: his family, or his administration or his staff would have

791
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: an intervention for the good of the country. An intervention,

792
00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: she prays for him. What a classic Democrat politician tactic here,

793
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, what a what a backhanded slap at the

794
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: President United States. Oh, she praised for him. She wants

795
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: there to be an intervention because she cares so much

796
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: about President Trump. You see, she just thinks that he's unwell.

797
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: She wants people to step in to help him. Of

798
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: course not she's playing into the Trump derangement craziness, that

799
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: the president is crazy. They won't stop. They bring, you know,

800
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: on these different cable networks that hey, Trump, they'll bring

801
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,240
Speaker 1: psychiatrists and psychologists and pet therapists and you know whatever

802
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: life coaches. They'll bring them on it. Oh, you know,

803
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: I think the president really has had some kind of

804
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: a you know, some kind of an aneurysm or something,

805
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: and he just doesn't you know, it's just like just lunacy.

806
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: And they won't stop. They won't stop. The President United

807
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: States is presiding over the best economy that this country

808
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: has seen, really in my lifetime. I mean, you could

809
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: argue that the dot com boom was you know, was

810
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: as hot, but that obviously that the air got let

811
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: out of that bubble pretty quickly. This is probably the

812
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: best economy that the American people have enjoyed in my

813
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: lifetime in many ways. I mean, at least looking at

814
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: the numbers, best best unemployment statsin's nineteen sixty nine. I'm

815
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: not that old, although I do have the bearing of

816
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: an older man. Nonetheless, they still want to tell people

817
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: who watch these cable networks on the left and who

818
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 1: believe that these different newsrooms are not full of leftist

819
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: activists posing as journalists. They want them to believe that

820
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 1: the president is crazy, is crazy. All evidence of the

821
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: contrary be damned. The president is insane. And that's Nancy

822
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: Pelosi going out. That's why I like it that the

823
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 1: President responds and just says that, you know, actually think

824
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 1: Nancy's a little crazy. You gotta you gotta fight fire

825
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: with fire. You've got to be willing to look these

826
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: people in the eye and say I'm not going to

827
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: be held back by some sense of deference and good

828
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: faith that is not shared on the other side. Democrats

829
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: are deeply personally disrespectful to this president in a way

830
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: that might affect the two major parties for a long

831
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 1: time after Trump isn't an office. They have been telling

832
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: us now for years that the president is crazy, and

833
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: yet the country's doing well, and they don't seem to

834
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: be able to square this. In fact, I think it

835
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: drives them crazy that he's been as successful as he's been,

836
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: despite the fact that they keep telling us that he's

837
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: actually nuts. And they're journalists who have built careers on

838
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: either on one of two storylines. The president has to

839
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: be removed from office because he's a crazy person, or

840
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:47,840
Speaker 1: the president colluded with Russia, and they go back and

841
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: forth on this. Some of them believe both things are true.

842
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: This is a mass psychosis, and this is along the

843
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: lines of climate change is going to end the world

844
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: in ten years. Donald Trump is a threat to the Republic.

845
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: When you have these leftist echo chambers in the media

846
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: throughout the media that keep feeding this, to feeding people this,

847
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: and they have an economic incentive to do so. It

848
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: keeps their ratings at least where they are. I mean,

849
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 1: you look at CNN's ratings, their way down, but still

850
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: makes a lot of money it's a legacy institution that

851
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: can rest on its laurels. Unfortunately, but you look at

852
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: the way that they package all the different stories. They

853
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: take everything and try to twist it into an anti

854
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: Trump moment, and that is that becomes a self reinforcing cycle.

855
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: This becomes a closed circuit. You know, everything everything cycles

856
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 1: back to Trump is bad. Everything cycles back to Trump

857
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 1: is the worst. And this is not This is not normal.

858
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: When I mean, this is not healthy. She's saying that

859
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: there should be an intervention for Donald Trump. I'm here

860
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: to tell you that Democrats need an intervention. Trump broke

861
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: them psychologically. How many people do you know in your

862
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: life think about this who have cut off friends, maybe

863
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: even cut off family members because they voted for Trump.

864
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: Who think that someone wearing a Maga hat is some

865
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: kind of horrible offense. And you know, maybe if you

866
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: get punched or slapped or something for wearing one, you

867
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: know you were asking for it. How many people I

868
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,600
Speaker 1: know people who feel that way and they think that

869
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: Trump is crazy. Only one side can be right on

870
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: this one. You know. There are the people that have

871
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 1: convinced themselves that Trump is a trader, is a lunatic,

872
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, is all these things and have no skepticism

873
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: about the narratives that they've been fed by the left

874
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: wing press. And the people that run the left wing

875
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: press and own the left wing media are overwhelmingly not

876
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: just Hillary partisans, but people who viewed the elevation of

877
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton into the presidency as a crowning moment in

878
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: their media life cycle. You know, this was this was

879
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: something that they've been wetting them in. The Boomers who

880
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: run these left wing places would have felt like Hillary

881
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: was eight years of glory, would have been the best

882
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: years of their careers, of their media entities, and that

883
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 1: was robbed from them. It broke them psychologically. They can't

884
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: seem to pick themselves up. They can't get passed the

885
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: loss of the twenty sixteen election. And so Trump is

886
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: right to recognize this for what it is and not

887
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,760
Speaker 1: just keep doing. You know, if Mitt Romney were in office,

888
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: and I know some things about Mit, I like some

889
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: things I don't. If Mit we're in office, he'd keep

890
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: extending his hand and get it slapped away. Trump doesn't

891
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: want to keep extending his hand to get it slapped away.

892
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: He wants to slap back. I think that's the right move.

893
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: I think that's the right move. All right, team, We've

894
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: we've got a whole much more coming up, so stare

895
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: right there. We'll be back. They've been unwilling and unable

896
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: to sit down and solve any real problems, whether it's

897
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: the crisis at the border, whether it's infrastructure or anything else.

898
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: It's very hard to have a meeting where you accuse

899
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: the president of the United States of a crime and

900
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: then an hour later show up and act as if

901
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: nothing's happened. The idea of that is insane. How many

902
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: how many times do we have to have a redo

903
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: before the Democrats accept the results? The bottom line is

904
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: there was no collusion, there was no obstruction, and it's

905
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: time for them to actually do some real work. They

906
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: don't want to do any real work. Democrats wanted to

907
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 1: dig in with exactly what they have, especially right now,

908
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: because they can't. They can't give the president to win

909
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: in their minds, and which means any bipartisan action of

910
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: any kind. Right because if they do something with President Trump,

911
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: then how do they come back and tell us that

912
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: he's Hitler? You're working with Hitler? Oh no, of course not.

913
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:29,280
Speaker 1: So they won't do anything with Trump that's off the table,

914
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: and they don't know what to offer from their side

915
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: because they don't know who their candidate's going to be

916
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: and how wacky far left that candidate is going to

917
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: end up. So what have they got hashtag resistance? You know,

918
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this, when when they were running against Obama

919
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: in the first you know, in the early stages of

920
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: the there was a focus on things like Obamacare and

921
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: how it was bad and how that was not a

922
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,439
Speaker 1: good thing. There's a focus on how the economy was weak.

923
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: There were Republicans were making a case about the mismanagement

924
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: of government by the chief executive at that time, President

925
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, And there were policy issues that were at

926
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: the and the size of the debt and the Tea Party,

927
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: and there were issues that were being discussed with Democrats.

928
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: Right now, it's it's just all orange man bad. Trump

929
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: is hitler. Trump is a criminal. He didn't colude with Russia,

930
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: but let's just say he coluded with Russia. There's no

931
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 1: evidence that he committed a crime, but let's just say

932
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: there's evidence he committed a crime. I mean, this is

933
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: what we're up against, this is what we have to

934
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,839
Speaker 1: deal with now. And there are enormous media entities and

935
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: just interests in general. Billions of dollars of money is

936
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: at stake here for people who have built entire enterprises

937
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: on destroying Trump switching power to the Democrats. I mean,

938
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: there's a lot at stake here for the people that

939
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 1: are trying to tell you that, oh no, they're the

940
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: honest arbiters of what's happening. They're they're the ones that

941
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: are just just bringing you the facts, you know, facts first,

942
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: apples and bananas and all this stuff. I don't think

943
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 1: so there's not going to be no one, no serious

944
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: person thinks that there's going to be any bipartisan bipartisan

945
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: action from not on anything meaningful what do you now

946
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: in the election? But so the pretense and the Democrats

947
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: that they're reaching out, yeah, they reach out after they say,

948
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,479
Speaker 1: you know, imagine if I showed up at your dinner

949
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: party and I said, well, you know, I think you're

950
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: a criminal and that this, uh, the car in the

951
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: front driveway is stolen. But I do like the suffle

952
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: you've made. I don't think you'd say, well, he's a

953
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: really polite fellow. I appreciate the compliment about the suffle.

954
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: This is what Democrats you're doing to Trump. This is

955
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: not normal. They're not criticizing his policies and saying, but

956
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: we can work on this stuff. They're saying he's a

957
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: crazy person and he should be removed from office, and

958
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: then they're going to sit down with him and think

959
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: that he's going to treat them in a normal way.

960
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: Really asks the or, it really forces you to ask

961
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 1: the question, who's crazy in this one? I gotta say,

962
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy, Nancy. I'm just crazy like a

963
00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: fox back. He's holding the line for America buck sex

964
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: in his back. Why is it that the Democrats don't

965
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: ever have people like Justin Amash on their side? Why?

966
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, when was the last time you can

967
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: remember a Democrat elected official during the Obama years coming

968
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: out and taking a deeply anti Obama stance, not opposing

969
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: him on a matter of policy, but but criticizing Obama

970
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: personally on some matter. Doesn't happen? And yet now I

971
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: see and I haven't yet talked about it on the show,

972
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,720
Speaker 1: so I wanted to get to it today that Justin

973
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 1: Amash has tweeted up. Mueller's report describes a consistent effort

974
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: by the president to use his office to obstruct or

975
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 1: otherwise corruptly impede the Russian investigation, the Russian election interference

976
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: investigation because it put his interest at risk. I mean, one,

977
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 1: I think he's wrong and this is just not this

978
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: is an incorrect take. I don't think it's a very

979
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: smart take, and much better lawyers than justin Amash have

980
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: looked at this and said, sorry, there's nothing here. The

981
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: president did not How can you impede an investigation that

982
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: was not impeded? How can you impede an investigation that

983
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: was not impeded and you could have very easily impeded

984
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: it at any point in time. And then on top

985
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: of that, not to be labor the word here, but

986
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: how can you impede an investigation that was premised on

987
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: a falsehood to begin with? Is an investigation of something

988
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: that did not happen worthy of protection from the executive

989
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: branch officials that or from an executive branch official that

990
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: has the whole government to run. I guess Democrats say

991
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 1: the answer is yes. They really just can't handle it.

992
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: They really cannot handle being out of power. This is

993
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: this is just a denialism that keeps just rearing its

994
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: ugly head over and over again. You know, they have

995
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: not gotten past twenty sixteen. You know what, folks, if

996
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: we win in twenty twenty, if Trump gets re elected,

997
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: I do think that there's going to be some I

998
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: can't begin to tell you. I can't predict what it

999
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: will be, or there will be ramifications that will shock

1000
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: many of us. I think you might finally have some

1001
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: of those Hollywood starlets. I mean here, I am coming

1002
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: to you from Los Angeles. You might finally have some

1003
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 1: of them moved to Canada or moved to New Zealand

1004
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: or wherever it may be. Go back to Amash here

1005
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: for a second. Why does he want to pile on?

1006
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: Why would he want to help the Democrats at this

1007
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: stage too? Is he too self involved or too stupid?

1008
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: And I have to ask, I don't know, you know,

1009
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: too self righteous to see that this has all been

1010
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: a get Trump operation from the start, that the Muller

1011
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 1: probe was conducted in bad faith by anti Trump Democrat partisans.

1012
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: Oh Muller used to be Republican. Yeah, I guess what

1013
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: Amash is a Republican. Look at some of the people

1014
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 1: that hate Trump more than anyone Republicans, at least by

1015
00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: party affiliation, although you have had a lot of people

1016
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,920
Speaker 1: like the Comies of the world say, well, you know, no,

1017
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm an independent. Independent is what a former Republican who

1018
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: doesn't want to look like a turncoat right away calls

1019
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 1: himself when he switched over to being a team being

1020
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: on team Democrat, I'm an independent. Yeah, doesn't work for me,

1021
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, on the rooftop here when people are sitting

1022
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: around talking about how Trump is destroying the country in

1023
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: Los Angeles a lot too much at A lot of

1024
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: that are on you. Let me tell you, I gotta

1025
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: get these people a little bit of a different perspective.

1026
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:56,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're ready for it yet, though,

1027
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: I can't imagine, because when they've been to people have

1028
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: been told so many times that this is the worst

1029
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: president ever. And you try to explain to them that

1030
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: that is that is a a completely unjustifiable and an

1031
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: hysterical point of view. They then they don't assume that

1032
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: maybe you're worth listening to. They think that you must

1033
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 1: be deranged. And I've come across this a few times.

1034
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: I try not to engage too much with the far left,

1035
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: you know, la hipster crowd on this stuff. But I've

1036
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: I've made the I've made some very early in roads.

1037
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: But I guess Justin Amash wants to make some in

1038
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: roads too, And that's why is he auditioning for a

1039
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: job at CNN. Is that what this is? When was

1040
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: the last time a Democrat broke ranks to do something

1041
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: for the Republican Party on a really, really important issue

1042
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: where the stakes were high and it wasn't in the

1043
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: Democratic Party's interest for that to happen. Here's an example,

1044
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: Joe Mansion in West Virginia voting yes on Kavanaugh. That

1045
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 1: was helpful for the Democrats because if Mansion had not

1046
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: done that, all the polling in West Virginia showed that

1047
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: he was going to get crushed for the reelect, so

1048
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: they let him break ranks. Democrats are okay with head

1049
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: fakes that help the Democrat Party, or they're okay with

1050
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 1: a small term sellout for big for big time gain, right,

1051
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: or a small time sellout for big time gain, but

1052
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 1: on a critical issue. And when was the last time

1053
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: they have a situation like John McCain on healthcare. Oh yeah,

1054
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: we're right there, We're at the we're at the one

1055
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: yard line. Oh no, our team's going to intentionally fumble it.

1056
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: Someone on our team is going to hand it to

1057
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: the other side. There are a few things that you

1058
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: have to, if not admire, at least are instructive to

1059
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: pay attention to when it comes to Democrats, and one

1060
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: of them is their party discipline. As much as I'd

1061
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: like to say that I can believe this analysis that

1062
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi has lost control of the Democratic Party, that

1063
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: the radicals now run it, and that's true to an extent.

1064
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: It's true from a messaging perspective, But when it comes

1065
01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: to the exercise of raw power, Democrats march in lockstep.

1066
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: And if I'm wrong, by the way, tell me I'm

1067
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: show me, show me where you've had the Democrat that

1068
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: has I mean, look look at Obamacare. Every Democrat voted

1069
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: for it. Not a single Republican voted for it. Every

1070
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Democrat not one defection on a massive mess of a

1071
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: healthcare law that has now put us on a path

1072
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: towards single pair, which we all knew from the beginning

1073
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: of this at Oh, it won't do that. It's Mitt

1074
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Romney's plan from Massachusetts. Thanks Mitt. Mitt Romney's plan started

1075
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: with the Heritage Foundation you hear all these things. Now,

1076
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: now they're pushing for single pair for you know, universal

1077
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: universal healthcare paid for by the government, and we all

1078
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: know where that leads to. Right, you're going to run

1079
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: a business. The business is going to say, well, I

1080
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: could pay a lot of money for private health insurance,

1081
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: or I could just tell these people, get you get

1082
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 1: your government health insurance, go get your Obamacare, you go

1083
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: pay for the plan that's on the exchange in your

1084
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: state of We all know where that's going to lead.

1085
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: It's not gonna leave to do a free market, that's

1086
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: for sure. But the free market in healthcare is something

1087
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: that's at this point. It's it's like a it's like

1088
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: a fantasy. But Amash just, I know that was a

1089
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: little that was a little sour. I agree I should have.

1090
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: I need to tone it down a little bit. It's true.

1091
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: We're so far from a free market healthcare. Don't even

1092
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 1: get me started. I could spend three hours of talking

1093
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: even all the deficiencies in the healthcare system and how

1094
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: our medicine is not nearly as good as we think

1095
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: it is. It's way too expensive. The incentive structure for

1096
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: a lot of healthcare professionals is not in line with

1097
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: their patients. It's there's a lot of stuff. I got

1098
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: a lot of thoughts on this one. But I've also

1099
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: got a thoughts on Justin Amash sitting around talking about

1100
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: how the president is. The president broke the law and

1101
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: now he's now he's a hero to the left. I

1102
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: hope it's worth it too him. You know what I

1103
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: think this is, this is a guy that on a

1104
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: few issues, you know, he skews a little libertarian on

1105
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,600
Speaker 1: a few issues, he gets some attention to think on

1106
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: drones and on privacy, and he's one of these guys

1107
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: and he hasn't been in the spotlight much, and this

1108
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: is a way to do it. It is always a

1109
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: temptation for somebody on the right to sell out and

1110
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 1: go to the left, because they'll make it really cozy

1111
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: for you at first. You know, maybe you'll even get

1112
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: a contributorship at a network, Maybe you'll get a nice

1113
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: little fat book deal, you put on the board of

1114
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: a company, if you're really lucky that they make it

1115
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,959
Speaker 1: seem like defecting is good for you. But then once

1116
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: they've used you, I mean, they'll never really respect you.

1117
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: If you were fighting for conservative causes, No matter how

1118
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: much you've abandoned them, they'll never really think you're part

1119
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: of the team. But our side doesn't learn. We have

1120
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: we have defectors. We have people that want to get

1121
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: that one or two lines of oh sweet sweet stuff

1122
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: in the New York Times about them. And I think

1123
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: that's what's going on here with mister Amash, Congressman Amash.

1124
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: It's just it's just so disappointing, man. I mean, come on,

1125
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: you really think that after all the President's been through

1126
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: this two year long investigation, all the lies, all the

1127
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: efforts to lie to the files a cord which they

1128
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: clearly did, to do obscure the origins of the dossier,

1129
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: to work with the media with part of pro Hillary

1130
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: partisans in the media and in the deep state of

1131
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: the FBI and the dj to concoct this whole massive

1132
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: narrative of lies. After all of that, the real problem

1133
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: is Trump not obstructing justice, but like thinking about it, or,

1134
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: as Nancy Pelosi formulates it, now, the cover up of

1135
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: the non obstruction, of the non collusion. That's where we are, folks.

1136
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: Democrats think that the president should no longer be the

1137
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: president because of the cover up of the non obstruction

1138
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: of the non collusion. I don't know what they're going

1139
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: to pile on top of this, but it'll probably be

1140
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: the obstruction of the cover up, I'm sorry, the obstruction

1141
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: of the non cover up of the non obstruction of

1142
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: the non collusion. I think I've got them all together now.

1143
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: And then throwing the emolument's clause in the twenty fifth Amendment,

1144
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: and just these people are insane. They're always trying to

1145
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 1: find some new way to get some new excuse or

1146
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: why he's not really the president. I mean, why not

1147
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: just live in reality for a little bit and put

1148
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: forward one of your candidates make the case to us

1149
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: all that Trump should not be the president. If it's

1150
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: so obvious that he broke the law and should be impeached,

1151
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: then it should be obvious enough a case to make

1152
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: the American people that he shouldn't be president again. You

1153
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 1: know what they're terrifying of, and this is what you know.

1154
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: I think they'll be Democrats who are broken psychologically if

1155
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 1: Trump gets re elected. But a lot we're broken the

1156
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: first time around, and it's not like they all went away.

1157
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: What does it mean for the Democratic Party if Trump

1158
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: wins reelection? And what I mean by that is, how

1159
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: do they get taken seriously when they've told us all

1160
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: this stuff, Oh, the worst president ever, and he's this

1161
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: monster orange man bad, he's basically Hitler, He's worse than

1162
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Stalin all the things that they've been saying, and then

1163
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: he gets reelected, he beats whatever candidate, whatever, whatever, whoever

1164
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: it is that they put forward after this ruckus primary season.

1165
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: What will that mean about their ability to with the

1166
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 1: American people and the power of the stories that they tell,

1167
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: their credibility as a political party. I mean, think about that.

1168
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm hoping they're not going to try to blame it

1169
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: on Russia again, although maybe they'll blame it on the Chinese.

1170
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: If you're an enterprising foreign government, you know, or hostile

1171
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: intelligence service, you know that all you have to do

1172
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: is do something to mess up the next election, and

1173
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 1: that'll really drive a divide. I mean, and I mean

1174
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: something minor. You don't have to hack into voting machines

1175
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 1: or anything. Just create some fake Facebook accounts and make

1176
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: some noise online, and then the losing party can point

1177
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: at that and say, see the other side cheated. And

1178
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: we know that if the Democrats are the ones that lose.

1179
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: They don't have the media running endless stories on it,

1180
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: and people want to give themselves pull. It serves for

1181
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: all their Facebook sock puppet reporting. What a joke? What

1182
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: a joke? Oh man, Facebook dot com, slashbuck sex and

1183
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: if you want to send me some thoughts, that's a

1184
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: great way to do it. We are going to be

1185
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: joined in the next hour. I got a couple of

1186
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: guests joining. I wanted to bring in some voices today,

1187
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: and I maybe trying to bring in some voices tomorrow too.

1188
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: We've got our friend Inez Felcher Bernie Sanders has a

1189
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: pretty radical anti charter school proposal that he's rolled out.

1190
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: The burn doesn't like charter schools, don't want him. No

1191
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: charters not allowed. And then you also have my friend

1192
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Merritt, CEO of Nineline Apparel, Specops veteran who's Apache pilot.

1193
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: They'll be joining in the next hour as well to

1194
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: talk about both the Eddie Gallagher case, this Navy seal

1195
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: that the press is trying to just railroad, just trying

1196
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: to just send him, to send him off in the

1197
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: prison and you know, bury the key somewhere, and also

1198
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: the latest on the release of John Walker Lynd American Taliban.

1199
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: You will call he has been called in the past.

1200
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: So we got that and more team and we will

1201
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 1: be right back. When I'm asking a lot of voters

1202
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,200
Speaker 1: about you, they say, if you win the nomination, you're

1203
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: going to be on stage with pres In Trump, not

1204
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: just on these primary debate stages, but on stage in

1205
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: a general election. He's gonna be tough. He's gonna take

1206
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: punches at you rhetorically. Are you ready for that? Yeah,

1207
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look what he's gonna do. And I got

1208
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: a fair amount of familiarity with bullies. I'm gay, I'm

1209
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: from Indiana. I get it is. He's going to try

1210
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: to get your attention, and he's going to try to

1211
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: get under your skin. He's going to try to distract us.

1212
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 1: And the challenge in confronting Trump is that there are

1213
01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:37,440
Speaker 1: certain things that he does that you have to respond to,

1214
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: just morally. When he lies, you got to correct the lie,

1215
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 1: which will keep you busy because he does it so often.

1216
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: When he does something wrong, you got to point to it.

1217
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: But it can't be about him. Any energy that ghost

1218
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: his way, including energy the ghost is way in the

1219
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: form of criticism, turns into a kind of food. He

1220
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 1: just devours it and gets bigger. And what we've got

1221
01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: to learn is how to kind of stiff harm him.

1222
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Uh So, it's it's almost like a sort of crazy

1223
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 1: uncle management, crazy uncle management mayor Pete Buddha Judge says

1224
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump. Now, let me tell you what I

1225
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: see happening here with Buddha Judge. I was always, I

1226
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: always was filled with a kind of disdain for the

1227
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 1: Beto O'Rourke mania because the guy was just such a

1228
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: just there's such an emptiness, I mean based on on

1229
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 1: what should we elect this guy to anything? Really not

1230
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: really clear what he stands for. All that was clear

1231
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: was that he was a somewhat you know, visually appealing

1232
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: to middle age Democrat women guy who you know, gave

1233
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: semi inspiring but sacharin speeches about America sometimes and was

1234
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: essentially up against Ted Cruze, who the left absolutely hates

1235
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: because Ted is very smart and very effective for servitism.

1236
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: And that's that was it. But I recognize that there's

1237
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 1: this lane, there's this celebrity worship lane that can be

1238
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: cleared out by the Democrat apparatus for a certain kind

1239
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: of candidate. And so while I've been saying that Beto

1240
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: is opously. They're not even asking for opposition research on

1241
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 1: the money anymore. That just came out. I think yesterday

1242
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: no one even's taking the time to try to slap

1243
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: down the Aurora candidacy because everyone thinks that this is

1244
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: this is pretty much he's toast. But Mayor Pete Buddha Judge,

1245
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: on the other hand, seems to have fit into that

1246
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: young progressive has a kind of telegenic media savvy quality

1247
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: that they're they're they're starting to elevate this guy, and

1248
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 1: he is moving his way up the ranks. Um, I

1249
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,680
Speaker 1: don't think that he's I don't think that he's going

1250
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: to be the nominee. I will say that, but who

1251
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: knows at this point, right, I mean, it's you still

1252
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: have Biden and Bernie in the number one, number two slot.

1253
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:04,679
Speaker 1: But if anyone at this point you think is gonna

1254
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: have a breakout, it's not gonna be. We talked about

1255
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris yesterday. I just don't think she has the

1256
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: political skills at the national level. I just don't think

1257
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: she has it. You know, I would see as a

1258
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: default candidate they'd fall back on who's a little younger

1259
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,679
Speaker 1: than Bernie or Biden. I would see Booker before, I'd

1260
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: see Kamala Harris right now. And you know, I am Spartacus.

1261
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 1: That's gonna stay with that guy for quite a while.

1262
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,440
Speaker 1: But Buddha Judge is at least from a resume perspective.

1263
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: And I'm not somebody who thinks, you know, mid Romney

1264
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 1: had a great resume right at Harvard Business School and

1265
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: all this money and everything, and he got crushed by Obama.

1266
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 1: And Obama had a great resume too, with the whole

1267
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Harvard Law school thing. I mean this is people get

1268
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,799
Speaker 1: very into all these labels and the resume. But Booda

1269
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: Judge served in Afghanistan. He's a veteran. There's there's some there,

1270
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: there's some there there for this guy, and you're gonna

1271
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 1: see it. It's gonna happen pretty soon. Here this next

1272
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 1: i'd say sixteen to ninety day period. Here we go

1273
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: classic journalist stuff. This next sixteen to ninety days will

1274
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: be critical for a mayor p Booha judge. But if

1275
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:01,759
Speaker 1: you're going to see a Democrat who has that breakout,

1276
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see it pretty soon, and it's

1277
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: gonna be vudu judgment. We'll see how he does in

1278
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: the debates, And first debates are in June, right, so

1279
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: they're coming up very soon. He's going to be on

1280
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: that stage. And if he comes across like not a

1281
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: total lunatic and somebody who's a fighter, he's gonna be

1282
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: top three, if he's not already there on the pole.

1283
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: So we're gonna keep an eye on this guy. He

1284
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: stole Beto's lunch, but he's now having a bit of

1285
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: a feast. Why do you steal my lunch? So mean?

1286
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 1: May repeat? Why are you so mean to Betto? Buck

1287
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Sexton mission to coding the news and disseminating information with

1288
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: actionable intelligence, mag No mistake, America. You're a great American again.

1289
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show. The CIA analysts got

1290
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: some good news for all of you, got some good

1291
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,560
Speaker 1: news to share. It's not great news, so I'm not

1292
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: trying to get you that excited. Maybe I should oversell

1293
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: a little bit the best news. Et No, it's it's fine.

1294
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: The news is fine. You know that I liked the

1295
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 1: Jesse Smollette case mostly because we hear in the Freedom Hunt.

1296
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: Knew along that he was lying, and that's why we

1297
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: kept doing those updates of the crazy lies that he

1298
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 1: was telling. Right, the two Nigerian brothers caught on video

1299
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: buying the rope and the Maga hats and then pouring

1300
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,880
Speaker 1: bleach on him and him having a sandwich in his

1301
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: hand when he went back to the apartment later, and

1302
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 1: it's two am, and it's Chicago, and this is Maga

1303
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 1: Country and all this stuff that said, and those of

1304
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: us who live in a reality based universe where like that,

1305
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: that did not happen. So it's interesting that he's telling

1306
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 1: everybody that happened, because it did. It did not happen.

1307
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 1: So you end up finding yourself in a position where

1308
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: you say, okay, So, given that that did not happen,

1309
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: what should be the consequences for Jesse Smollett. And since

1310
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: everybody in law enforcement knew that he had filed false

1311
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: reports and that this is a crime, there was a

1312
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,480
Speaker 1: sense that maybe there will be some kind of punishment

1313
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: for him, and then he evaded all punishment. Right then,

1314
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 1: he had the attorney general for whatever it is, the

1315
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,799
Speaker 1: Northern District of Illinois or something, the state attorney general

1316
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: or the prosecutor that was assigned to the case. I

1317
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: can't remember what a specific title is Kim Fox I

1318
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: believe was her name. Just make the whole thing go away,

1319
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 1: and to seal the records of the case right away

1320
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: so that people couldn't look and see what overwhelming evidence

1321
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: of Jesse Smollett's mendaciousness was already in the hands of prosecutors,

1322
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 1: and that if this was not filing a false report,

1323
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 1: then nothing in fact could qualify as filing a false report.

1324
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:53,680
Speaker 1: It could not have been more obvious than he was

1325
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,720
Speaker 1: that he was guilty. I mean, this guy was the

1326
01:13:56,880 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 1: this is the filing the false police report level of

1327
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,680
Speaker 1: guilt that you can't make it up, right, I mean

1328
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't think of a situation where this

1329
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: guy would be more obvious in the way that he

1330
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 1: made this whole thing up. But anyway, the good news

1331
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: I have to give to you today, because you know

1332
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,880
Speaker 1: this is gonna be fun, is that an Illinois judge

1333
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 1: has ordered that Jesse Smollet's criminal case file will be unsealed.

1334
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: Oh yes, this is going to be good stuff. This

1335
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: is exciting because then we now we get to return

1336
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: to what we knew before was an overwhelming mountain of

1337
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 1: evidence that he lied and there were some people I

1338
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: would know who after Smollett gave his little, his smug

1339
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 1: statement of how he would never do this, he walked

1340
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 1: into that court room and he never would do this,

1341
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: and other people who said, see, you know, the system

1342
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 1: is the system. He got to you know, he innocent

1343
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: until proven guilty. There are a lot of people that

1344
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:01,680
Speaker 1: were being really disenject us on this matter, and I

1345
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: have to say, I am pleased. I am pleased that

1346
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:09,839
Speaker 1: now they are going to have to answer to the evidence.

1347
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: Now jose Smallt's not being charged, which is still a

1348
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 1: complete outrage, but at least now we can sift through

1349
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: how they had everything on him. And this goes to

1350
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 1: show you that if you're if you are a politically

1351
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: connected person, and you are a protected person. In this case,

1352
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: Jesse Smallett is both a minority and part of the

1353
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 1: LGBT community, so that gives him a kind of from

1354
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 1: the perspective of intersectional leftist politics, that's a double protection, right.

1355
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: He's in two categories of oppression, so he's even more

1356
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: invulnerable to criticism and to the rules that we would

1357
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: want to apply to everyone, regardless of their race, sexual orientation,

1358
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,640
Speaker 1: or anything else. You know, Smallett gets a special he

1359
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: gets to get out of jail free cards on this one.

1360
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: And yet now we'll finally be able to get some

1361
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 1: of the evidence and see it, and that will be fun.

1362
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: I also wanted to talk to you about something else

1363
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 1: that's been coming up a lot this week, and that

1364
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 1: is the fight over this Alabama law, which I've talked

1365
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 1: about on the show, but just just want to revisit

1366
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: something that is it's applicable to the abortion debate right now,

1367
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 1: but it's often the case when the left and the

1368
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: right debate any issue, and that is we know what

1369
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 1: their arguments are. I can make and maybe some day

1370
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 1: be kind of although if people tuned in and didn't

1371
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: know what I was doing, they would probably tune out

1372
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: right away. But whenever anyone wants, if they want me

1373
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: to make the argument from the left, I can do it.

1374
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: And I know and not just because I do a

1375
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: show with somebody who is very progressive every morning at

1376
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: the Hill. But I mean I can tell you what

1377
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: they're going to say. They can't tell you what we say,

1378
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 1: or at least they're not willing to repeat the case

1379
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 1: as we would make it publicly. They always have to

1380
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: pretend that we say things that we don't say on

1381
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: an abortion. This is certainly the case. Here's an example

1382
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: of it from ilhan Omar. When she's not being an

1383
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: anti Semite, she likes to get up and misrepresent, well

1384
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: slander the religious crimean community in this country that does

1385
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: not believe an abortion, and then go on to just

1386
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 1: misstate the whole case play it. I rise today to

1387
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: defy the horrifying attacks happening against women's reproductive rights all

1388
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 1: across this country. Religious fundamentalists are currently trying to manipulate

1389
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: state laws in order to impose their beliefs on an

1390
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 1: entire society, all with complete disregard for voices and the

1391
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: rights of American women. Their recent efforts, like those in

1392
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Alabama in Georgia are only the latest in a long

1393
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:52,759
Speaker 1: history of efforts to criminalize women's women for simply existing. Okay,

1394
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: there you go, to criminalize women for existing. This is

1395
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:05,200
Speaker 1: such a astoundingly dishonest and stupid formulation of the pro

1396
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: life argument that I have to wonder is ilan Omar

1397
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 1: just ignorant of the truth or I can't tell you

1398
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: it's it's not clear. There's a part of me that

1399
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 1: wants to believe that she knows better, but is just

1400
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: being a demagogue to criminalize being women. That's not what's

1401
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 1: happening here, because, first of all, as we know, not

1402
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: all women are pregnant at any given time, not all

1403
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:30,880
Speaker 1: woman will ever become pregnant, and a choice is made

1404
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:34,160
Speaker 1: in the whole pregnancy thing. Not to take it too

1405
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,600
Speaker 1: far into those details, but the argument over life is

1406
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: very simple and at its core, and that is it's

1407
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: about a life. This is about another human being that,

1408
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: through the miracle of a pregnancy, is going to be

1409
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: brought into this world. And does that other human being,

1410
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: because it is another life, have rights. Democrats can use

1411
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: all these words, they can talk about criminalizing women and

1412
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: criminalizing bodies and reproductive rights, and these are all these

1413
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 1: are all obscuring. Is that is a tiny baby in

1414
01:19:04,880 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: a mother's womb. Is that a life or not? That

1415
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:12,640
Speaker 1: is everything because everything else flows from that. It's not

1416
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:14,799
Speaker 1: clear to me if they just don't understand this argument

1417
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: or they're afraid to engage in the argument because they

1418
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:21,679
Speaker 1: know they're wrong. Ilhan Omar, I'm not sure which side

1419
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: of that she falls on. Either. We've got ins Felcher

1420
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:25,799
Speaker 1: joining us in a moment to talk about Bernie Standers

1421
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: and charter schools, and then we'll discuss Eddie Gallagher's case

1422
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 1: and John Walker Lynn's release with Tyler Merritt. That's coming up.

1423
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 1: Thood Marshall's core belief was pretty simple, not complicated. He

1424
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: believed that it is and I quote, the right of

1425
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 1: all of our children, whatever their race, to an equal

1426
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: stought in life and to an equal opportunity to reach

1427
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:53,640
Speaker 1: their full potential as citizens. End of quote. I agree

1428
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: with what Thirdgood Marshall said, and in my view, the

1429
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: only way to accomplish that goal is to guarantee every

1430
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: person in our country a quality education as a fundamental

1431
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 1: human right, regardless of their income. Charter schools could be

1432
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:19,280
Speaker 1: feeling the burn, my friends, Bernie Sanders going even further

1433
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:23,640
Speaker 1: than some of his Democrat colleagues by saying that he

1434
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: wants to halt all new funding for charter schools, have

1435
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:30,600
Speaker 1: a whole review of current charter schools. This will have

1436
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: a disreportioned impact on a lot of minority students, by

1437
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 1: the way, So what is going on here? What is

1438
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,920
Speaker 1: the truth of charter schools as it stands? Right now?

1439
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: In this country, we have Inez Felcher Stepman with us now.

1440
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 1: She is a senior contributor at The Federalist or the

1441
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 1: Federalist also as it's sometimes known by those of us

1442
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: who can't speak English. She knows school stuff very very well.

1443
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 1: She's an education expert. Also an old friend of mine

1444
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: in as great to have you great. By the way,

1445
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:01,879
Speaker 1: the Federalist is also known as the Federalist Society online

1446
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 1: by a bunch of leftists who can't tell the difference

1447
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:07,760
Speaker 1: between those two organizations. So oh good, good to know.

1448
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: I think I caught some of that on the Twitter

1449
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:11,600
Speaker 1: this week, but I stayed out of that one. I

1450
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 1: figured the leftist baby will start using the Google to

1451
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 1: learn the difference. But tell me what is Sanders? Let's

1452
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 1: start with this. What is Bernie who wants free college?

1453
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:24,200
Speaker 1: So in that sense he's at least willing to change

1454
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 1: it up at the university level, have other people pay

1455
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: for the student's educations in the future. What's his deal

1456
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:33,799
Speaker 1: with charter schools in this He put out this plan

1457
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 1: last week where he called for as you mentioned in

1458
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:41,400
Speaker 1: the beginning of moratorium on charter funding, he also called

1459
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: for a total ban on for profit charter schools. That

1460
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:47,400
Speaker 1: would be charter schools that contract with a for profit provider.

1461
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 1: So that's not really clear how that would even happen.

1462
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:54,600
Speaker 1: Because there's a relatively small amount of general money that

1463
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:57,599
Speaker 1: goes to charter schools. Theoretically one could cut that off,

1464
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: although I don't know why you'd want to cut off

1465
01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: the one part of federal investment in education that actually

1466
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: has shown some results, but theoretically can cut that off

1467
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: in terms of a moratorium. I mean, he doesn't seem

1468
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: to understand or perhaps you know, as the good socialists

1469
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,560
Speaker 1: that he is, he doesn't actually care that most American

1470
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,640
Speaker 1: education decisions are actually made on the state level, So

1471
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 1: it's not really clear how he would implement that kind

1472
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: of moratorium. Nevertheless, that's what he's calling for. So he

1473
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 1: wants a moratorium. Why, I mean, what's the what's the

1474
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: reason that he and leftists like him give for this?

1475
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 1: And then I'm sure there's a a more more cynical

1476
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: but more true reason as to why they want to

1477
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 1: cut off this funny So work us through both of those, sure,

1478
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: So I think I think with Bernie, the general argument

1479
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: would be that charter schools quote drained funds from public

1480
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: schools because they provide parents with an alternative and some

1481
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: parents take advantage of that alternative. In fact, not only

1482
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,759
Speaker 1: are there three million kids over three million kid attending

1483
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 1: charter schools today in the United States, there's another million

1484
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: kids who are waiting desperately on wait lists trying to

1485
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: get into charter schools. So Bernie Sanders sets this is

1486
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,560
Speaker 1: a bad thing. He thinks that everybody should go to

1487
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: their assigned public school even if it's not working for them,

1488
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: which is a case, especially in some low income areas

1489
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: that have high percentages of at risk students or minority students,

1490
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: and that's why there are more minority students than the

1491
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,400
Speaker 1: general population who are on golden charter schools. Charter schools

1492
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: have moved into urban areas with schools that are struggling

1493
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:38,520
Speaker 1: and have attempted to meet that need in providing alternative

1494
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: to parents. So perversely, Bernie Standers has argued that because

1495
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: charters disproportionately serve poor kids and minority students, that this

1496
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: is quote unquote segregation. Right. I'm sure that's what the

1497
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: KKK that was on the bullet points for the first

1498
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:58,600
Speaker 1: KKK meeting was provide better options to minority students in

1499
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 1: urban areas. But nevertheless, that's one of the arguments he's

1500
01:24:01,720 --> 01:24:06,160
Speaker 1: making against us unbelievably, he says the charter schools perpetuates

1501
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: so schools that in the case there's something like a

1502
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: Success Academy in Harlem in New York, which is a

1503
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: pretty well known charter school, you had almost entirely young

1504
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: black students. There are also some Hispanic students there, but

1505
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 1: almost entirely young black students who are dramatically outperforming their

1506
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:26,680
Speaker 1: peers across all races at the state level. And what

1507
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:30,760
Speaker 1: there's some kind of objection to this from Bernie Sanders. Yeah,

1508
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: according to Bernie Sanders, because some of those schools, like

1509
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 1: Success Academy have higher percentages of state black or Hispanic

1510
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 1: students than the state average, for example, which is not

1511
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 1: a good comparison, by the way, because what they should

1512
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: be doing is looking at the particular neighborhood in which

1513
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: the charter school is and what public school, what traditional

1514
01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: public school those kids would have been attending, and oftentimes

1515
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:58,040
Speaker 1: those public schools are as if not more segregated than

1516
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,679
Speaker 1: the charter schools which they're attending. Yeah, it's a very

1517
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:04,080
Speaker 1: perverse kind of logic that he's using. He's saying these

1518
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: schools are going in and serving a need, and they're

1519
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,640
Speaker 1: serving that need disproportionately for the students that are have

1520
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 1: the worst options in our current system, which also correlates

1521
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 1: with them being a minority student. And he says because

1522
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: of that, charter schools are perpetuating segregation. There is no

1523
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,720
Speaker 1: more segregated system than the system that is based on

1524
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: neighborhoods or zip code. So I would argue that the

1525
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:33,600
Speaker 1: traditional public school is the one that is perpetuating segregation,

1526
01:25:33,920 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: and that charter schools are merely offering in most cases

1527
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: better alternative to parents to schools that aren't working, and

1528
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: those parents are disproportionately minority and lower income, because those

1529
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 1: are the folks who can't afford to pick up and

1530
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 1: just move to a more expensive area where the school

1531
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 1: might be better. What do charter schools do that upsets

1532
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:57,160
Speaker 1: left us so much? Why is Bernie Sanders against it? Well,

1533
01:25:57,200 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: another big reapons against that this charter school tends not

1534
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: to although some charter schools are, but the vast majority

1535
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 1: of charter schools tend not to be unionized. Right, so

1536
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 1: the staff of charter schools tend not to be unionized,

1537
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:11,799
Speaker 1: and that is a big no no for certain parts

1538
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: of the left, and they also have more operational freedoms,

1539
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 1: and in exchange, they deliver results that are in a

1540
01:26:19,000 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 1: way that they're more accountable to parents, right because because

1541
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: parents actually choose charter schools as opposed to being forced

1542
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: to send their kid to a particular zoned neighborhood school,

1543
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: those parents then have that choice if they're not happy

1544
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,000
Speaker 1: with the education that their children are receiving, to take

1545
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: their dollars and go down the street or go across

1546
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,679
Speaker 1: town and find somewhere that works better for their kid.

1547
01:26:42,720 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 1: And that is really threatening to the education establishment. They

1548
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: like having all the REGs, you know, they like accountability

1549
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 1: by you know, form and paperwork. What they don't want

1550
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,599
Speaker 1: is accountability directly to parents to know that they are

1551
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: not really offering the kind of education that's going to

1552
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:02,480
Speaker 1: make their children into or citizens into you know, successful

1553
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 1: adults after graduation from high school. So they don't want

1554
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 1: that kind of accountability because I think they know that

1555
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:11,680
Speaker 1: they will not staff up as well as they like

1556
01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 1: to pretend. What should the policy be of the Trump

1557
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 1: administration when it comes to charter schools? And how I

1558
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: mean it always seems to me like conservatives have a

1559
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 1: more compelling argument on education than they make in the

1560
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: public square, and going into an election cycle, I'd like

1561
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 1: to hear not just Trump, but people across the Republican

1562
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:36,599
Speaker 1: Party saying, you know, charter schools that disproportionately benefit minority students,

1563
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 1: help them accelerate and exceed and do very well. That

1564
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:44,160
Speaker 1: seems like something that we should promote, and we should

1565
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 1: force leftists to say, no, it's teachers unions that we

1566
01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 1: want to protect. But you know, what should the policy be,

1567
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,680
Speaker 1: how should they make this case? So what's unfortunate, as

1568
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:57,040
Speaker 1: we've seen one of the rare areas of bipartisan overlap

1569
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:00,640
Speaker 1: or agreements disappear in the Trump era. Right, So, it

1570
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 1: used to be that Republicans and Democrats actually both supported

1571
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 1: to some extent charter schools, although they've always been members

1572
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:10,640
Speaker 1: of both parties that were against them, but there was

1573
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:13,839
Speaker 1: some some bipartisan work. We have a lot of mayors,

1574
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: Democratic mayors in large cities who support charter schools, right,

1575
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:21,919
Speaker 1: build a Lazio's predecessor supported charter schools. Build the Blasio

1576
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: does not. Unfortunately, what we've seen in the Trump era

1577
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:28,320
Speaker 1: is that in fact, Democratic support for any kind of

1578
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:31,639
Speaker 1: school choice they always were a little, you know, scared

1579
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: for the most part of a private school choice that

1580
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: allows students to attend private schools as well. The charter

1581
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: schools seemed to be for a while something that Republicans

1582
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,439
Speaker 1: and Democrats could agree on because, as you say, it

1583
01:28:43,520 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 1: was serving some of the media students successfully. Charter schools

1584
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:50,759
Speaker 1: were successfully serving a population that had been left behind

1585
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 1: by the traditional public school system, and so there was

1586
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:56,320
Speaker 1: a certain lot of support there. But unfortunately, what we've

1587
01:28:56,360 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 1: seen is particularly white Democrats have turned again charter schools.

1588
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 1: So there's some really interesting polling out there, but shows

1589
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: that Bernie is on the wrong part of this issue

1590
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,680
Speaker 1: from Democrats who are either Hispanic or African Americans. So

1591
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 1: Democratic voters or Hispanic and African American actually support charter

1592
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:21,560
Speaker 1: schools at pretty solid majorities. But white voters, white Democratic

1593
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 1: voters have seen their support for charter schools dropped from

1594
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 1: about the same, you know, little over fifty percent all

1595
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,880
Speaker 1: the way down to twenty seven percent in the last

1596
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:32,600
Speaker 1: few years. And I think that's because it's literally the

1597
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: Orange Man Bad effect. They've associated school choice and charter

1598
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:39,400
Speaker 1: schools with Trump. Therefore they were against it even when

1599
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 1: they were in favor of it, you know, just a

1600
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 1: few years ago when those polls were taken. So I

1601
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:46,679
Speaker 1: think we're seeing the bottom fall out. But it's interesting

1602
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: to me that Bernie's view is tracking white Democratic voters.

1603
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:52,720
Speaker 1: He's not been doing as well in the polls for

1604
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: a variety of reasons with minority Democratic voters, and this

1605
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 1: position of his is not going to help him there

1606
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:04,919
Speaker 1: because the majority of minority crap support charter school. Inez Felcher, Statman, everybody,

1607
01:30:05,160 --> 01:30:07,599
Speaker 1: lady who knows a thing or two about education, Senior

1608
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 1: contributor at the Federals and as thanks so much for joining.

1609
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. Thanks for hatting, but that's

1610
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:15,360
Speaker 1: always good to be in the Freedom Hut team. We'll

1611
01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 1: be right back. Some big stories out there involving not

1612
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: just national security, but specifically of enemy combatants and war

1613
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:29,320
Speaker 1: crimes and what's going on with those who serve, how

1614
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 1: are they being treated by this country? A couple of

1615
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 1: stories coming together here. Also a possible situation unveiling right

1616
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 1: now that could change the way people view the Trump administration,

1617
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: and it's pardon powers. We've got a lot of things

1618
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:46,040
Speaker 1: to work through here. We're joined by our friend Tyler

1619
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:48,519
Speaker 1: Merritt to work through them all. He is the CEO

1620
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 1: of nine Line Apparel. Nineline has in the past been

1621
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,760
Speaker 1: a fantastic sponsor here on the show, but Tyler is

1622
01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 1: a veteran of the special operations community himself and a

1623
01:30:57,120 --> 01:30:59,480
Speaker 1: good friend of mine, as well as being a stalwart

1624
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:02,120
Speaker 1: patriot and a great all around dude. Tyler, thank you

1625
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:05,240
Speaker 1: so much for giving us your time. No, thank you

1626
01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:07,559
Speaker 1: so much for having me on. All right, man, let's

1627
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 1: let's start. So we got two very different stories but

1628
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 1: both getting a lot of attention in military community, national

1629
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 1: security community. Let's start. Let's start with Eddie Gallagher. So

1630
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:22,679
Speaker 1: this guy's a Navy seal who is accused of war crimes,

1631
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 1: at least in the press. Can you give us some

1632
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:27,479
Speaker 1: of the background on this story to tell us what

1633
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:29,680
Speaker 1: we need to know? And then why is it that No,

1634
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:31,120
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this has risen all the way

1635
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 1: up to the President having discussions and the possibility of

1636
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:38,200
Speaker 1: a pardon, and people are really fired off about this.

1637
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: What's happening? Sure? So, kind of like the Mulla Reports,

1638
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 1: several hundred pages. Most people don't read it. They just

1639
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 1: like to look at the headlines and then very similar

1640
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 1: situation occurred. New York Times reporter decided to release this

1641
01:31:53,520 --> 01:31:58,719
Speaker 1: story about Eddie Gallagher, the murderer, a guy who likes

1642
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:03,679
Speaker 1: to go oversee and snipe young women with this sniper rifle,

1643
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,760
Speaker 1: and he likes to stab children. And that's the story

1644
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:10,679
Speaker 1: that was pushed out. Fast forward to a few months later,

1645
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:13,679
Speaker 1: where I actually had the opportunity to watch a lot

1646
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:17,920
Speaker 1: of video that was held by the Navy, this exculpatory

1647
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:21,760
Speaker 1: evidence that we talked about last time, and it shows

1648
01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 1: very clearly that Eddie Gallagher did not commit any type

1649
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,599
Speaker 1: of murder. He attempted to provide first age for this

1650
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:33,639
Speaker 1: isis combatant, this fighter who had received wounds from from

1651
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 1: bombs that we dropped. We killed forty individuals. He was

1652
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 1: one that was left alive and he eventually died to

1653
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: come to those wounds. Fast forward a year plus later,

1654
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:47,040
Speaker 1: and there were a few inappropriate pictures that were taken

1655
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 1: after this individuals died, and that's what was published that

1656
01:32:54,680 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 1: this Navy seal committed murder, no substantiated evidence, no corroborative evidence,

1657
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:03,759
Speaker 1: and he finds himself in prison for almost eight months

1658
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 1: until people became very outspoken. The President became aware, and

1659
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 1: he ordered his release from prison while he defended himself

1660
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 1: so he could have access to counsel. Well, since then

1661
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:20,360
Speaker 1: he was put in conditions that were commensurate with prison conditions.

1662
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 1: He wasn't allowed to speak with his attorney without a

1663
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 1: command representatives president, and then they would take the phone

1664
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:29,759
Speaker 1: away because it was a phone used by the military

1665
01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:35,960
Speaker 1: and they needed it. So that is extremely embarrassing to

1666
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 1: say that this individual has presumed guilty and then giving

1667
01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: no actual rights to adequate counsel. And then take it

1668
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:47,599
Speaker 1: one step further. The Navy has admitted to putting tracking

1669
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 1: software on files that were released to the Defense counsel,

1670
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 1: and when that defense counsel pushed it on to other

1671
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:59,600
Speaker 1: entities in the Air Force and other military entities, that

1672
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 1: track software went into those computers all the way up

1673
01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 1: to the President of the United States. Attorney has malware

1674
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:10,960
Speaker 1: that allows the Navy to access all files on that computer,

1675
01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 1: which is wildly illegal. So you have an individual been

1676
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 1: put in prison for the better part of a year,

1677
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:26,439
Speaker 1: presumed guilty, condemned widely by the leftist media, to include

1678
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:31,719
Speaker 1: my favorite two time failed presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton, saying

1679
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 1: that the possibility of Trump pardoning this individual as atrocious,

1680
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:39,720
Speaker 1: and I would say to everyone who's listening to learn

1681
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: the facts, to learn that the president has been given

1682
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 1: the information and this is a big embarrassment in the Navy.

1683
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 1: As the commander in chief, I think it's a wise

1684
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 1: decision to put an end to this madness. Who is

1685
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:55,760
Speaker 1: against Eddie Gallagher? I mean you mentioned these leftists, but

1686
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 1: why do they believe, I mean, based on what do

1687
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 1: they think that this, this decorated navy seal is a

1688
01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: heinous work from I mean, this is this is what

1689
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:07,640
Speaker 1: they're spreading around them and I see some of this

1690
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: on social media. What makes them believe? It's very easy

1691
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 1: to pass judgment on individuals that you don't understand. So

1692
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 1: there is a prejudice and there's a lack of understanding.

1693
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: So what had occurred is that Eddie Gallagher took pictures

1694
01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:25,160
Speaker 1: with him and a substuon makes next to the deceased,

1695
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 1: with the caption that was sent out saying something to

1696
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 1: the effect I got them with my hunting manif by

1697
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 1: Bully Eagle allegedly, And this is what sparked the controversy.

1698
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:39,200
Speaker 1: And what people don't understand, well, that's not right, you

1699
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:42,719
Speaker 1: know that that's not condoned within UCMJ. It's not murder.

1700
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:48,680
Speaker 1: It's something that requires tunitive action if it's true, but

1701
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:51,519
Speaker 1: you don't go to prison for it. So the jumping

1702
01:35:52,040 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 1: to the conclusion that this individual committed murder based on

1703
01:35:55,920 --> 01:36:02,880
Speaker 1: the circumstantial evidence at best, there's no civilian court system

1704
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 1: in the world where this would have occurred. It's only

1705
01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:09,479
Speaker 1: in the outdated UCMG actions. And if he sound guilty,

1706
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:11,880
Speaker 1: he will go to prison for the rest of his life.

1707
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:15,200
Speaker 1: The mandatory minimum sentience is life in prison. So this

1708
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 1: twenty year Navy sealed decorated war hero could go to

1709
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:21,040
Speaker 1: prison for the rest of his life for a crime

1710
01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:26,839
Speaker 1: that he wholehearted did not commit. Yet a isis Taliban fighter,

1711
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 1: piece of you know what is released from prison after

1712
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:33,160
Speaker 1: seven I wanted to get to that. Next, we're speaking

1713
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,320
Speaker 1: of Tyler Matt Everybody's CEO of nine Line Apparel and

1714
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:40,240
Speaker 1: Special Operations veteran Tyler John Walker Lenz getting out getting

1715
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:42,799
Speaker 1: out a few years early, seventeen years into a twenty

1716
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:46,680
Speaker 1: year sentence for betraying his country. Somebody who was out

1717
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 1: there on the battlefield tracking down all manner of bad guys.

1718
01:36:50,479 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 1: What does it say to you, what do you take

1719
01:36:52,880 --> 01:36:56,479
Speaker 1: from an American who was willing to take up arms

1720
01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:58,600
Speaker 1: on the other side of that battlefield from you and

1721
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,840
Speaker 1: your brothers over there in Afghanistan. Yeah, so there's a

1722
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:05,800
Speaker 1: mandatory minimum sentence for a hero like Eddie Gallagher to

1723
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:10,639
Speaker 1: go to jail for committing murder overseas on Talivin fighter,

1724
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 1: which he couldn't do. I would hope I would have

1725
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 1: hoped that there was a mandatory minimum sentence for any

1726
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:21,880
Speaker 1: American who decides to take up arms against America. And

1727
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 1: I know that he stated that he didn't actively participate.

1728
01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 1: He just carried weapons and grenades and helped them with propaganda.

1729
01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:33,320
Speaker 1: And guess what, everything that you just stated that is

1730
01:37:33,439 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 1: aiding a foreign enemy that's attempting to murder us. So

1731
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:42,720
Speaker 1: you should go in jail and rotten jail for the

1732
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 1: rest of your life, no questions asked. I don't even

1733
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,680
Speaker 1: know why this is a debate, because you're you're not

1734
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:51,080
Speaker 1: setting the right precedent. You join the Navy, become a seal,

1735
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:53,360
Speaker 1: potentially go to prison for the rest of your life

1736
01:37:53,360 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 1: based on speculatory evidence, or join isis I worry about it?

1737
01:38:01,160 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: You'll be in prison for maybe twenty years get out

1738
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 1: for good behavior. What kind of an example are we

1739
01:38:05,400 --> 01:38:09,680
Speaker 1: trying to set. It's it's the fact that this is

1740
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:12,559
Speaker 1: both happening this week, these two stories. And I know

1741
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:15,800
Speaker 1: that we have a higher expectation, of course of those

1742
01:38:15,840 --> 01:38:18,559
Speaker 1: who fight on our side than on any side, but

1743
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:21,200
Speaker 1: particularly for something like the Taliban and al Qaeda. And

1744
01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 1: people need to understand that at the time that John

1745
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:26,680
Speaker 1: walker Lynde, John walker Lynde went and spent time in

1746
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 1: Bin Laden's guesthouse, I mean this, he was there when

1747
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:32,280
Speaker 1: it was al Qaeda and the Taliban in a synergistic

1748
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:35,640
Speaker 1: relationship as one. So this isn't some oh it's a

1749
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: native insurgency fighting against which is also not true even now.

1750
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:43,679
Speaker 1: But he was there when when al Qaeda was deeply

1751
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 1: in match and meshed in this group, and after nine

1752
01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:48,000
Speaker 1: to eleven, that he would have been fighting with them

1753
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:49,640
Speaker 1: is just is just utterly appalling me. WHI I got

1754
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 1: Eddie Gallagher people in the press. I mean, I think

1755
01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:54,840
Speaker 1: it's fair to say, uh, Tyler, that there are people

1756
01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:57,719
Speaker 1: in the press who want to see Eddie Gallagher, if

1757
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: not swinging from the gallows rod in prison forever without

1758
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,680
Speaker 1: knowing the full fat. Yeah, it's much easier to just

1759
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:06,719
Speaker 1: jump on the bandwagon. And when the New York Times

1760
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 1: and some other media outlets are are putting out false narratives,

1761
01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:16,600
Speaker 1: Navy seal kills children, Navy seal kills women, that's what

1762
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:19,120
Speaker 1: they read, that's what they start talking about. Then they

1763
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:22,240
Speaker 1: start jumping to how can they set the example, how

1764
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:25,760
Speaker 1: can they be the standard bearer and stand up for

1765
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:29,160
Speaker 1: those poor innocent children of Iraq. Well, this is the

1766
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 1: seventeen year old military's mail who we tracked. He was.

1767
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you were in the CIA. You understand that.

1768
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:38,800
Speaker 1: You know there's devices that people carry stupidly, and we

1769
01:39:38,840 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 1: track them and then we drop bombs on them. And

1770
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:44,799
Speaker 1: that's what occurred this day. And then afterwards the chaos

1771
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:48,799
Speaker 1: of Mosul. Eddie comes along and sees that this individual

1772
01:39:48,880 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 1: is being drugged from a humdi by Iraqi forces. And

1773
01:39:52,400 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: he walks through and says, I got this, and he

1774
01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:59,680
Speaker 1: starts providing. First date, that's what occurred, then pictures. Then

1775
01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 1: pick four a week context before we'll let you go. Tyler,

1776
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:06,639
Speaker 1: it is moral Dale on Monday, and you're a veteran.

1777
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 1: I know that your company nine Line Apparel employs a

1778
01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 1: lot of veterans. I know it's not Veterans Day when

1779
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 1: we think of Memorial Day. Obviously, these are two things

1780
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 1: that are inextrincably and forever linked those who lost their

1781
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:20,760
Speaker 1: lives in battle as well as those who served. What

1782
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:22,280
Speaker 1: do you just want to say to everybody out there?

1783
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 1: What should what should be on their minds as we

1784
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,000
Speaker 1: go into a long weekend. We're look, people are supposed

1785
01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 1: to take time off re lack to be with family,

1786
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:30,960
Speaker 1: enjoy themselves. But if you're going to reflect on Monday,

1787
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:33,800
Speaker 1: what should they be reflecting on? Hey, listen, a lot

1788
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:35,600
Speaker 1: of people get upset and they say, hey, this is

1789
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,240
Speaker 1: Memorial Day, not Veterans Day. Don't thank me, thank the

1790
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 1: people that laid down their lives for all of us.

1791
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: And I think you can have a great time. You

1792
01:40:45,360 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 1: can have a barbecue, you have your friends over drinks

1793
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 1: and alcohol. At some point, take a moment, take a second,

1794
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 1: get everyone to bow their heads or enter into any

1795
01:40:55,280 --> 01:41:00,360
Speaker 1: type of moment of silence, and just remember those who've

1796
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:03,160
Speaker 1: paid the ultimate sacrifice. And if you don't know of someone,

1797
01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 1: do a simple Google research, because there's a lot of

1798
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 1: unsound heroes out there. I'm sure from your local town,

1799
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: your local community, that should be honored and should be remembered.

1800
01:41:13,120 --> 01:41:15,840
Speaker 1: So I just ask and implore you to do little

1801
01:41:15,840 --> 01:41:20,040
Speaker 1: brow research, have fun, but pay some homage to those

1802
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:23,519
Speaker 1: who who are no longer with us. Tyler Mares, CEO,

Speaker 1: Adam Bucks. Since every one of the president's decrees are

1813
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 1: taken to court, why not sign like three hundred of

1814
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 1: them with minor, non impacting language and keep all the

1815
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:24,719
Speaker 1: parties and judges so busy that it gets through shields high. Well, Adam,

1816
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:26,640
Speaker 1: what you're referring to here, and I don't know if

1817
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:30,280
Speaker 1: this could really work, but you're saying, essentially, why don't

1818
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:34,680
Speaker 1: we go Olynsky in response to Olynsky height tactics, and

1819
01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:38,799
Speaker 1: you know that's not what Trump did. But what Trump

1820
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 1: did do to become president was just to sign that no,

1821
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:45,799
Speaker 1: I'm not playing by their rules anymore. I'm not playing

1822
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:49,559
Speaker 1: by the O. Republicans have to be good, honorable people

1823
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,720
Speaker 1: with no skeletons in the closet. Democrats get to be

1824
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. Democrats get to be the Clintons, or they

1825
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 1: get to have their political career launched in the living

1826
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: room of a admitted domestic terrorists like Bill Aires. Oh

1827
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:05,680
Speaker 1: that's right, Barack Obama. Democrats can get away with all

1828
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: kinds of things because they don't really profess to have principles.

1829
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:12,240
Speaker 1: They're just vessels for the achievement of or the achieving

1830
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:15,759
Speaker 1: of power, whereas Republicans, it's all you know, this republic.

1831
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 1: You always hear us being accused of hypocrisy by the

1832
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 1: left when we're just imperfect. But we do try to

1833
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 1: have principles. We do state and defend those principles. Doesn't

1834
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:28,920
Speaker 1: mean that we always live up to them. Democrats, The

1835
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: funny hypocrisy from them is that they don't pretend to

1836
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:33,599
Speaker 1: have any principles to live up to. Most of the time,

1837
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:36,240
Speaker 1: it all depends on how useful they are to the cause.

1838
01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 1: And that's how you see so many of these horrifically

1839
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 1: immoral or amoral or both democrats out there who keep

1840
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:47,080
Speaker 1: getting put into positions of authority in power despite the

1841
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: fact that they don't even deny the behavior that would

1842
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 1: be such an egregious offense to so many normal human beings.

1843
01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: So yep, that's what I got for you on that,

1844
01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:59,640
Speaker 1: my friend, whether we could do this thing with the

1845
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:02,640
Speaker 1: court saying, I don't know, it's an interesting idea. You

1846
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:06,040
Speaker 1: raise an interesting point by bringing it up. K Rights,

1847
01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:08,480
Speaker 1: Hey Buck, thanks for telling us about your trip to China.

1848
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 1: I lived in Shanghai, so it was fun getting your

1849
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,240
Speaker 1: take on the food. I thought everything was terrible. One

1850
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 1: thing I think is mentioned worthy is that people don't

1851
01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:17,960
Speaker 1: realize you have to register with the police everywhere you go.

1852
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:20,960
Speaker 1: Hotels will do this for you. But definitely maybe appreciate

1853
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:23,920
Speaker 1: the US even more. Love your show Original Saturday Squad.

1854
01:44:24,080 --> 01:44:28,599
Speaker 1: K Yeah, kay, I acted under the impression because it's

1855
01:44:28,640 --> 01:44:31,639
Speaker 1: real that my burner phone, I had a Chinese cell

1856
01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 1: phone when I was over there, that everything I said

1857
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:37,920
Speaker 1: and did was certainly being recorded, and some of it

1858
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:40,280
Speaker 1: might have been actively monitored. And I don't think I'm

1859
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:43,719
Speaker 1: some big deal, but to be an XCIA and current

1860
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 1: national media figure of whatever kind I am, that gets

1861
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:51,600
Speaker 1: you high enough on the Chinese security services radar that

1862
01:44:51,600 --> 01:44:53,800
Speaker 1: it's very likely you're going to be monitored. I mean,

1863
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: I look your cell phone. Keep in mind, your cell

1864
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 1: phone and everything you do on it is already stored

1865
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 1: in this country. It's just a question of whether there's

1866
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:03,160
Speaker 1: active access to it and perhaps even monitoring of it.

1867
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,080
Speaker 1: You know, without a court order. There's no court orders

1868
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 1: in China. They want to look at it, they look

1869
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 1: at it. They want to hear in real time, They

1870
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,320
Speaker 1: hear in real time. There you have no individual rights.

1871
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:14,439
Speaker 1: So that was a reminder. Look this country. And I

1872
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:16,599
Speaker 1: know I keep saying it, my friends. If you're having

1873
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 1: a tough day, if you're tired, if you're beaten down,

1874
01:45:19,640 --> 01:45:21,840
Speaker 1: if things haven't been going your way recently, just remember this.

1875
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:24,040
Speaker 1: If you're listening to this in America and you're an American,

1876
01:45:25,080 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 1: this is the greatest country in the world. We are

1877
01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 1: all so lucky to be living here at this time.

1878
01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:32,800
Speaker 1: And I know that doesn't make all the pain and

1879
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 1: all the frustration go away, not by any stretch of

1880
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:38,439
Speaker 1: the imagination. But at least I'm telling you. You know,

1881
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:41,840
Speaker 1: you spend some time in a smog filled traffic jam

1882
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:43,800
Speaker 1: of twenty million people where all the food is in

1883
01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:46,439
Speaker 1: brown sauce and nobody seems to have much of a

1884
01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:50,719
Speaker 1: sense of humor, you start to appreciate America. You start

1885
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:55,759
Speaker 1: to appreciate America a lot of brown sauce, which usually

1886
01:45:55,760 --> 01:46:00,400
Speaker 1: has soy sauce, which is not good, Okay, not good

1887
01:46:00,400 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 1: for me because Celiac disease. Those who don't know, the

1888
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:05,920
Speaker 1: number two ingredient in soy sauce is not soy, it's wheat.

1889
01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:12,440
Speaker 1: Soy sauce is effectively wheat sauce, which which is poisoning

1890
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 1: someone like me. But I digress. I know some of

1891
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: you are like Buck, Celiac disease in your red beard

1892
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 1: are not that interesting? Well, it's interesting to me, Stephen

1893
01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: writes Buck. What happened? The ihear radio podcasts haven't been

1894
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,719
Speaker 1: able to download for days? Stephen, We've had some problem

1895
01:46:26,760 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 1: with the platform. Hey, at least I'm an America in see.

1896
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: I gotta tell myself that we had some problem with

1897
01:46:34,240 --> 01:46:35,800
Speaker 1: the plot. We tried to upload it. It It didn't go.

1898
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's uploaded now. I'm sorry if things have gotten delayed.

1899
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:42,320
Speaker 1: It frustrates nobody more than it frustrates me when we

1900
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:47,439
Speaker 1: don't have that podcast up and running right away. Mike. Right, Hey, Buck,

1901
01:46:47,720 --> 01:46:49,519
Speaker 1: glad to have you Backbud, Glad you made it back

1902
01:46:49,520 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 1: from China. We're not hearing about you being arrested for

1903
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 1: some kind of social act. Pretty harsh. All Aquaman thought

1904
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 1: was that it was pretty decent retelling of the story.

1905
01:46:57,280 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 1: If you understand the different kingdoms, it would have made

1906
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:01,680
Speaker 1: more sense to you. But as far as following the

1907
01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:03,519
Speaker 1: comic book line for an old comic book fan, they

1908
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:05,439
Speaker 1: told the story pretty good, Mike. Maybe they told the

1909
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 1: story good, but the movie stunk. I'm sticking to my

1910
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 1: guns on that one. Or am I trident as it were?

1911
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, Teane, that's gonna be it. Tomorrow from La

1912
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 1: I'll be with you live. Of course, I will talk

1913
01:47:16,320 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 1: to you then, have a fantastic evening. Shields High
