WEBVTT - Crazy Pelosi Strikes Again 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:16.520 You are entering the freedom hunt. Bombshell indictment drops today 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.919 Julian Assange. They're going after him under the Espionage Act. 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:23.239 This is a major escalation. What does it mean about 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:27.360 the future of the First Amendment and journalism in this country? Also, 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.720 the war of words between Pelosi, the Dems and Trump 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:32.960 heats up. Will have that for you and oh so 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.680 much more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.519 is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:45.599 is to decode what really matters with passionable intelligence. Make 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:49.000 no mistake American. Let you're a great American Again the 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:59.600 Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. Now, welcome 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:01.760 to the bar Sex and Show everybody. Thank you so 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.600 much for being here. Coming to you live from Los Angeles. 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.880 I wanted to say, Sonny, Los Angeles, but LA, you 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.679 have let me down with the weather in the last 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.640 couple of days. I don't know what to say other 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:13.480 than that, you know, a couple of days ago, I 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.800 was on a rooftop getting sun, feeling like I was 0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:17.640 one of these cool LA people. And now it's very, 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.880 very cloudy. There was hail yesterday. It was a big 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.319 hill storm here. People getting pelted it's no fun. We 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.959 had some big things breaking just as I get on 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.720 the air today. The biggest one, of course, is this indictment. 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.160 I want to spend some time on this. We'll return 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.559 to the feud between Trump and Pelosi. What it means 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:42.080 going forward for the big I fight, Oh I the 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:47.880 impeachment word. And then is Buddha Judge? Is he the 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.800 one poised to leap to the front of the Democrat pack? 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.960 I'm starting to think so. Betto is pretty much toast. 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.120 Wait why am I toast? Bettos pretty much not gonna 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:04.880 make it happen. Boota Judge, however, he is more formidable 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.840 than these other Democrat clowns. And in an environment where 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:12.680 a political experience at a national level doesn't seem to 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.320 really matter all that much anymore. Look at our current president. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.200 Can a mayor from the Midwest with an interesting and, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.480 let's be honest, very strong resume, can he be the 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.960 real Democrat contender? I will tell you this, I find 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.320 Buddha Judge more concerning than Joe Biden. I am very 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.560 I don't care what the polls say, very confident that 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:36.000 Trump will be able to defeat Joe Biden because Joe Biden. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.520 I don't mean this in a mean way. It's just 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.800 not a winner. He's just not a winner. It's just 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.760 not going to happen. Bernie is kind of the wild card. 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.880 You know, who knows what's gonna happen with Bernie. He 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.720 Bernie Sanders might win an if and this is a 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:52.160 giant if you had a massive cyclical economic recession in 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.120 the six months or twelve months before, basically, if it 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:59.320 started let's say this fall, then I think Bernie socialism 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.520 as much as you. I think, oh no, that people 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.320 wouldn't want higher taxes. Socialism is appealing to people when 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:09.840 they feel scared. Socialism becomes the warm security blanket that 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.640 the government offers you. Oh, we're going to make sure 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.080 it's those rich people. They're the reason, you see the 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.720 economy has gotten bad. They're the reason that things for 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.480 you aren't working out. We're going to take from them 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.920 and give, give, give to you. When people get scared, 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:25.520 they want to believe in the tooth fairy. They want 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.640 to believe in Santa Clause, and Santa only takes from 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.560 the rich people. They say, so, what's the big deal, 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.800 But we'll get there first. Let's do this a sane 0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:41.000 story here. I'm at a little surprised that this is 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.160 the direction the Department of Justice is going in right now, 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.680 because it's going to open up. It is opening up 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.360 right now as we speak. I mean, this just broke 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:55.600 on the major sites late this afternoon that the Justice 0:03:55.600 --> 0:04:03.360 Department has hit Julian Assange with eighteen additional charges, I believe, 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.240 most of which carry a penalty of up to ten 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:12.080 years in prison. Now, Asange, I'm assuming, let's start with this, 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.000 He's going to fight this. This guy's gonna fight I 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:20.240 cannot think of a world in which Louian Osange is 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.720 taking a plea deal. He's too much of a and 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.080 whatever you think of him, and I think, and I 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.240 spent a solid hour or interviewing him for a podcast 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.840 a couple of years ago, he has a very a 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:37.960 very high self regard. I mean, he really has a 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:45.840 kind of messianic complex about information and about transparency and 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.400 governments wanting to keep secrets from the people and the 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.320 reason just like with so many different conspiracy theorists. And 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.440 I'm not saying Osange is a conspiracy theorist, but what 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.640 they say is powerful because it taps into something that 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.560 there is people who say a grain of truth. I 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.080 would often say, no, there's a there's a foundation of truth. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.000 It's what they build on top of that that can 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.120 be so misleading or false or destructive. But it's more 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:12.960 than just a grain of truth. Right. You can't do 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.359 much with a grain of anything. But if you have 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.800 a foundation of truth and then you build lies on 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.200 top of it, you have something that can be both 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:26.719 very effective as propaganda but also very misleading governments. And 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.400 I used to work as you know it says that 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.159 at the top of the show every day, Buck Sexton, 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:37.480 former ci by It's former NYPD Intelligence Division analyst, is 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.000 what it should really say. Some of you have said, 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.960 wait a second, YPD. I was in the MYPD Intelligence Division, 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.560 which was a civilian contract unit that was doing counter 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:51.279 terrorism K essentially running counter terrorism cases in the New 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:57.159 York City area, in helping the MYPD with that, working 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.560 with the YPD on that we were MYPD employees. But 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:06.560 conversation for another time, back to Assange. Here's the problem. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.839 They're going to say that what Asange has done here 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.520 is well, they're going to say, first and they already 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.520 are saying this, that he's not a journalist. And this 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.680 is an argument that I've had to have with many people. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:26.320 What is a journalist? Now? You can think, as I do, 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:33.599 that Assange for all of his self deluded narcissism. You 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.720 can think that Assange is a good guy and a 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.440 warrior for truth. Or you can think that he's a 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.680 slimy guy who does Russia's bidding. And you want to 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.560 get to the bottom of what happened in Sweden, whatever 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.320 that stuff's all about. These I think the charge there 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.960 was called sex by surprise, I mean that I think 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.520 that's what the which is a thing in Sweden. I 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.840 don't know anything about the truth of that case or not. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.479 Those are purely allegations, and he is he should be 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.280 entitled to at least illegal, if not media presumption of 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:06.280 innocence on those matters. There's not really a presumption of 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:09.960 innocence when it comes to the publishing of classified information, 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.800 and in the sense that there's no dispute in the 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:17.040 facts about whether that happened. Assange admits that. So now 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:22.679 the issue is does he fall under the Espionage Act? 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:25.400 And if he falls under the Espion, which is a law, 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.800 as people often point out from the early twentieth century, 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:32.120 at a time when it is often forgotten now, at 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.160 a time when the First Amendment was under a very 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.960 real assault. You have people who will often say, oh, 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.280 it's like yelling fire in a crowded theater, and they 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.320 think that that's an argument ender. Well, they forget that 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.880 that was in reference to a Supreme Court That was 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:49.000 a Supreme Court justice making that reference about handing out 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.680 pamphlets that were opposed to the First World War, a 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.960 socialist handing out anti war pamphlets, which anybody now would 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.440 recognize as protected speech. But he was saying, well, that's 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.280 like yelling fire in a crowd. At the there was 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.520 active speech suppression. People often forget now that there was 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.360 a series of laws passed in the early eighteen hundreds 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.840 called the Alien and Sedition Acts. You know what sedition 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.560 was whatever the United States government at the time decided 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:22.160 it was, including for people publishing newspapers. Also, at that 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.320 time you had newspapers that were known to be supportive 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.840 of different candidates, known to be supportive of different political 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.320 ideologies and parties. I would say that newspaper because we 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.720 borrowed from the British system, where it's also you're now 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.959 a Labor Party, a Tory sorry, a Labor Party paper, 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:42.800 a Tory paper, a conservative Marxist, they're open about that. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.160 In this country we have this facade of journalism is 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.120 a subjective thing, which is a lie, does not exist. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.120 There are objective facts. There's no objective journalism. People should 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.880 be honest about what they think, who they are, what 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.079 they believe, and they present you facts as such, because 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.400 without facts, you have no credibility, no matter who you are. 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:09.160 But at the earliest days of our republic, there were efforts, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.960 there were laws passed by the Congress that were in 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.800 direct contravention to the First Amendment, and people were threatened 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.720 with imprisonment. I believe some people were sent for short 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.280 periods of time to prison. John Adams made to look 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.360 so good by Paul Giamati in that HBO series. John 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:28.240 Adams was a proponent of this can't have really dangerous 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.320 thoughts about you know, the US and the War of 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.360 eighteen twelve was looming, and they didn't know that at 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.040 the time, but you know, you had the problems with Britain, 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.800 and you had the debts and impressment of our sailors 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.720 on the open seas, and all this stuff going on, 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:44.040 you can't have people saying crazy stuff. That's edition really 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.160 and is its edition now? To say that there aren't 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.800 thirty seven genders? You might be laughing, but I'm in California. 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.360 I'm pretty sure we could find people who think that 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.160 it is sedition to say there aren't thirty seven genders? 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.800 Why not forty? Why not a nice even number? Why 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.720 make it thirty seven? Hard? I think Harvard University is 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:06.480 one that listed at thirty seven on the application. Julius 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.760 Songs accused it violing the Espionage Act. Okay, let's work 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.840 through this together. What has he done? He took information 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:18.480 that was classified, and he claims through his organization that 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.760 they never and this is the big dispute is going 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:26.080 to be, did they endanger sources? Because that's the one 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.000 place where even like journalists are supposed to protect their sources. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.840 But keep in mind journalists, then that's kind of a 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.040 handshake agreement. There's no legal legal protection really for sources, 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.920 certainly not at the federal level. And the Obama administration 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.480 showed that they would throw journalists in prison if they 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:45.520 did not reveal their sources. So there's no real source 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:49.000 protection for journalists. That's just a you know, scout's honor thing. 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:54.600 But we all understand that endangering sources is very real 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.400 from a national security perspective. It's it is legally protected, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:03.800 as it should be. But we've gotten used to a 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:09.920 left wing press corps in this country that overwhelmingly takes 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.120 it upon themselves to publish whatever classified information they want 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:19.920 whenever they want, over the objections, often of the national 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.319 security agencies, the United States Military. They think they're the 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.520 arbiters of it. The New York Times, the Washington Post, 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:28.720 they make the decisions as to what is in America's 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.280 national security interest. Now they don't have any legal protection 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.360 for those and by the letter of the law, and 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.200 I love when journalists argue with me on this because 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.000 they're always wrong and they're so ignorant. By the letter 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:45.920 of law, there is no particular protection for journalists for 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:50.679 publishing classified information. In fact, the New York Times publishing 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.000 classified information, which it has done many, many times, The 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:57.640 Washington Post, many other outlets now too. The Intercept loves intercepts. 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.760 It give them something classified, they'll want to publish it, right, 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.440 I mean, I mean, don't do that. But I'm saying 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.520 if one were to do that. You know, they love 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:08.280 publishing classified information. There are many others that have published 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:15.679 classified information right and they assume that the DJ policy 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.960 will hold that you don't. You don't go after the journalists, 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.959 You only go after the person who passes along the information. Now, 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.480 for I have long argued that that's a distinction that 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.800 is perhaps a clean one for legal purposes, but the 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.920 moral distinction there is much hazier. That journalists who do 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.800 some of the things that we have seen journalists do 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.559 in this country are betraying their country. They can think 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:40.760 it's transparency, but it is a betrayal of the country 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.120 to take information that you know to be harmful, for 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:48.280 it to be aired out publicly, and just to do it. 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.160 But how do we then balance that out in a 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.559 society where we know that the government will often hide 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.760 stuff from us. Well, right now we're seeing this. They don't. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.679 They keep saying sources and methods about the fives of 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.400 warrants used in the Russia collusion hoax. They keep yelling, 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.400 you know, sources and methods whenever they need to cover 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:08.520 up something that Komi or Brannan or any of these 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.240 people did. We try to get that information the government 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:13.760 claimed secrecy. We're trying to fight through that. So the 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:19.760 government does overclassify, hide things, and use secrecy as a 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.080 means of evading accountability, because that is always what the 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:27.160 federal bureaucracy wants to do. Federal bureaucracies want to evade accountability, 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.679 and they will abuse the power that they have to 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:36.040 that end. So we have this difficult balancing act. Right, 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.319 we have this First Events supposed to protect the free press, 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.120 also protect freedom of speech as a general proposition. The 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.080 free speech rights of the first of the New York 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.840 Times and their First Amendment protections are no different from yours, 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.560 and don't never forget that they don't have any special protection. 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.480 The Department of Justice may have said, well, if you're 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.719 a government employee, we're going to hold you to a 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.240 different standard than someone who works in the New York Times. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.320 But this is going to be messy, my friends, bringing 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.640 of charges against Julian Assange in this way, not just 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.800 for the hacking. I think they could have gotten him. 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:10.760 I think they probably had a decent line at getting 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:15.800 him on those and that's a universally applicable law. We're 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.880 going to have the federal government now adjudicating who is 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.520 a journalist and who gets the protections handed to journalists, 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.680 not by the Constitution per se, but by the Department 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.160 of Justice, just deciding who and who to prosecutor who 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.320 not to. I know that you may be saying, well, Buck, 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.480 that's probably the best way, but that gives the government 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:38.280 a lot of power. Think about what it means for 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.960 the government to adjudicate who's a journalist and who's not 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:45.480 under a Bernie Sanders administration. Think about what it means 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.600 the federal government to determine who's a journalist and who's 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:52.880 not under an Ocasio Cortez heaven forbid administration. You think 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:54.600 they're going to be fair minded about it. They're trying 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.680 to kick us off of social media platforms. They're trying 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.000 to kick us off of Facebook and Twitter, and they 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.880 want us gone. Half the country is not allowed to 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:06.760 hold the beliefs that it does. So this is this 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:12.280 is important. Whatever you think of Assange, this matters. We 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.400 have a lot more on this, and also the Pelosi 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.360 Trump fight, and it's going to be a busy day 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:22.320 here in the Freedom hud. Friends. We will be right back. Ah. 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:26.480 This is this is so typical. We've got New York 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.240 Times here on the front page talking about how the 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:33.000 assans the superseding indictment. Remember they already charged him. He's 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.560 right now in British custody. I'm assuming there's some negotiation 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.440 going on behind the scenes about whether they were going 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.880 to have to give the Brits some kind of guarantees that, 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:47.080 for example, I don't think anyone thinks the death penalty 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.760 is on the table, but the death penalty couldn't be 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.880 on the table. But now he's got these additional counts 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.720 and the superseding indictment, it looks like the Brits are 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:58.560 going to hand him over to US. And New York 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.800 Times is saying, this rage's major First Amenment issues, and 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:05.360 here's where you're going to see Trump's arrangement syndrome come 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:10.360 into play. They're going to act like this administration when 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:15.400 it comes to press freedom, is this horrible tyrant, and 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.240 that what Trump is doing is destroying First Amendment protection 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:23.480 for journalists, and the media is going to rally behind 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.640 a Sane even though many of you will recall it 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.480 was a Sane that they hated not long ago because 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.240 of what he did or his role in the release 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:42.280 of the DNC emails that prevented Queen Hillary, Yes, Queen Hillary, 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.760 Queen Hillary from becoming the next press of the United States. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.240 So all of these people that were at one point 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:56.240 very very angry with Julian Asange and the press right 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.080 because he played for the wrong team on that one. 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.160 He all of a sudden wasn't helpful to them. They 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.640 loved as Songe when it came to Chelsea Manning and 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:07.320 the release of classified American classified information about the US 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:11.240 Warrener Rock in Afghanistan. They thought he was great then, 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.840 but then they hated him because he released the Bernie 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.160 Sanders DNC, which was just telling us we already knew 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.119 that they were in the tankment. Everybody knew they were 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.080 in the tank for Hillary. Of course they were in 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.159 the tank for Hillary. The whole system was in the 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:30.240 tank for Hillary. But we had proof when those emails 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.440 came out. Not a single email was fabricated. By the way, 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:37.919 It isn't noteworthy noteworthy point of accuracy. But then you 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:42.600 get to what's going to happen now. The press sees 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.520 this as an opportunity to get on their soap boxes 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.399 and unite and lock arms about how terrible Trump is 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.560 on the First Amendment. They are going to hope that 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.119 we all forget that. It was the Obama administration that 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:00.080 listed James Rosen from Fox News as an unindicted co 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:04.879 conspirator in a classified league investigation. It was the Obama 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.040 administration that pulled the Associated Press's phone records. It was 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.320 the Obama administration that prosecuted a journalist for not revealing 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.719 a source for a book, or threatened to prosecute him. 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:16.720 They're going to put him in prison. I spoke to 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.800 that journalist. But the facts aren't going to get in 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.560 the way of the narrative. My friends. They're going to 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.400 start saying Trump is the biggest threat to the First 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.200 Amendment ever. That's what they're going to say, even though 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.879 he's not even as big a threat as the last 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:33.040 guy to hold the office of the presidency was. But 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:46.119 they're gonna hope you forget that. We'll be back. He's 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.879 holding the line for America. Buck sex in his back. 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.080 Big fight brewing over the Espionage Act and this Julian 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.440 Assan's indictment. I just wanted to want to close the 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:02.800 loop on this one, because this is this is going 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.119 to set up a whole New Line. Every everything is 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:06.919 about Trump all the time, right. I mean, we're going 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:10.000 to talk to my friend, and I wish that wasn't 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:11.520 the case, but that's what the media does. We're going 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:14.159 to talk to my friend, Tyler Merritt, great guy, CEO 0:19:14.160 --> 0:19:17.840 of nine Line Apparel, spec Ops veteran, he was one 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.200 of those elite combat helicopter pilots. He was an APACHE 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:27.080 pilot and flue with different Special Operations units. He's going 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:28.760 to join us to talk about the Eddie Gallagher case 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.760 and also John Walker Lynde being released later on the show. 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.920 But as you see with the Eddie Gallagher case, the 0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.480 Navy seal that people are accusing of war crimes before 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.840 they even have access to the information, before they've heard 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:41.760 his defense, they're just saying, oh, you must be guilty 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.600 of war crimes. Because you know, they like to take 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:48.040 the most negative anti American view possible, and much of 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:49.959 our leftist press they think that that gives them some 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:54.120 kind of moral high ground. That's something they like to do. 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.320 But you know the fact that matters. The press does 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:02.359 have often has an anti American or far left bias 0:20:02.440 --> 0:20:04.680 that runs contrary to the interests of what you think 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.240 you'd see from normal Americans. But when you add Trump 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:11.440 into the mix, anything that can be used as some 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:18.200 kind of rhetorical ideological weapon against Trump will be used 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.560 as such. Anything out there that they can do to 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.439 make Trump the problem and use it to that is 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:27.600 part of the obsession they. I was going to say 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:29.520 they can't help it. I don't know if that's quite true, 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:33.520 but it's almost like they can't help themselves. They're so 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:42.320 unbelievably and completely wrapped up in their hashtag resistance mania. 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:46.760 And with this Julian Assan situation, you will see people 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:51.280 completely abandoned. They are previous criticisms of Assange. They're oh 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.240 journalists who but a year ago, but a few months ago, 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.320 maybe even we're saying he's a stooge for the FSB, 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:02.159 which is the Federal nayaslas bisi pleas nesti, which is 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:06.080 the Russian domestic intelligence service. Say that one five times 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:10.120 real fast. It's fun. It's anything federal naya, it's fun 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.080 to say. Right Russian words. I know about five Russian words, 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.080 that's three of them. The other words are yet and 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:20.040 those Dania. So I know I miss commy bear too. 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:21.560 I just thought about that some of you are like 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.560 Buck Commy Beart, Yeah, I know there's a possibility it 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.880 might happen. But back to Asange, they're going to forget 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:30.920 about all the criticisms they had of him in the past. 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:36.040 They're going to abandon the line of argument that he's 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.280 not really a journalist because he was doing the bidding 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:41.160 of a he was operating as a foreign a non 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:45.440 state foreign intelligence service. That's been the knock on Assange 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:47.119 for a while, and there were some in the journal 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:52.720 community that in the context of Russia collusion, DNC, the hacking, 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:55.919 they were willing to go along with that. Now they're 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.320 gonna just he's going to be the ultimate free speech martyr, 0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:02.320 not because they cared that much about free speech. I 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.159 assure you this. If the Obama administration had decided to 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:11.600 bring these charges against Assange, there would have been much 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:14.160 more muted Yeah, some people would write some medatorials. I'm 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.160 not going to say there'd be nothing much more muted 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:22.240 criticism of the administration's decision, because ultimately, journalists care first 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:26.119 and foremost about having their ideas in power, having the 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:29.080 people they like and support, making decisions that affect the 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:30.520 rest of the country. And the rest of the world. 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:33.280 That is why they are activists more than they are journalists. 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:37.480 They're seeking an outcome. They're not just providing information for 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:39.920 the sake of informing the public. That's a lie. That's 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:44.560 why journalism, speaking of foundations before, contemporary American journalism is 0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:49.840 built upon a fraudulent foundation that they're unbiased, they're nonpartisan, 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:54.480 and they don't have an agenda. They absolutely have an agenda. 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:56.199 You know, I tell you I have an agenda. My 0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.159 agenda is to support conservative values and beliefs, to explain 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:01.280 what's going on around you know, around the country and 0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:04.439 around the world, and to do so honestly and in 0:23:04.480 --> 0:23:07.959 a way that brings both information and some entertainment value. 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:09.399 And you can listen to me, and then if you 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:12.119 want to go listen to some COMI podcasts somewhere from somebody, 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.280 you can do that and decide who's right. But I 0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:17.320 make a compelling casty. I'm honest about it, or at 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.680 least I hope it's a compelling case. But I tell 0:23:19.720 --> 0:23:21.560 you where I'm coming from. I don't sit here and say, well, 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:23.000 I have no opinions, and now let me give you 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:25.160 one hundred opinions in a row, but I have no opinions. 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:30.359
