24
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: of course, Dan Bongino, I've been here a couple of

25
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: times before, filling in for Sean coming out of the bullpen,

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: bringing in the crafty veteran right hander, the knuckleballer out

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: of the pen. Shall I take a little vacation, probably

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: doing some Brazilian jiu jitsu, a little bit of moy

29
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: Thai boxing. I just got back into that. I promise

30
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: I won't talk about it, but I just got back

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: into the Brazilian jiu jitsu. So I'm a little banged

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: up today on the physical front, but on the mental front,

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm frosty at best. I had a tough time kind

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: of prioritizing and triaging my what I want to talk

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: about list today because it's you know, it's Sean Show.

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Is always an honor to fill in here, but there's

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: so much to get into. I'm like, where do we start?

38
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: So we have to address the Twitter fiasco because the

39
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: Twitter fiasco is not a fiasco for Trump. It's a

40
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: fiasco for the media and they just don't get it. Yesterday,

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: for those of you may have missed it. If you're

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: on Mars, or you're on vacation and the Cape somewhere,

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: or if you're a liberal and you're on Cape cod

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: drinking a margharita with your jet on standby, you may

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: have missed what happened yesterday with Donald Trump and the

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: Morning Schmo cast over there at ms d n C. So,

47
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: just to sum it up quickly again, you probably heard

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: that the Morning Schmo, you know, the Joe Scarborough and

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: Mika Bradzynski show where they go after it's it's like

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: the Anti Trump Morning Show on MSNBC. There's there's no

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: other material other than Trump sucks. Trump is the worst

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: impetes Trump. Trump's terrible, He's a lunatic, he's a maniac,

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: he's a lawyer. That's the whole show. Just tune in,

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: you'll see it yourself. The whole show is how Trump is.

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: It's a it's an amateur our mental evaluation using like

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: the d s M sixty two for all you psychology

57
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: majors out there of Trump. So they go after the

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: guy every day on the show. And it's weird about

59
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: it is they used to be friends, apparently, Trump and

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: uh and the Morning Joe cast, So they went after

61
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: him yesterday and Trump fired back on Twitter. He said,

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't watch the show. It's got

63
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: terrible ratings. It's a bad show. Joe's crazy, and Mika

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: had a facelift or something, and asked me to stay

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: at mar Lago, which is his place down here, not

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: far from where I live. Actually, it's a beautiful place

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: if you've never been to mor Lago. So, of course, yesterday,

68
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: all day I posted this on Twitter because I thought

69
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: it was funny. All day yesterday, the liberal medium meltdown started. Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Trump, Twitter,

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: We have to do something. He's crazy, trumpson saying he's

71
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: losing his mind. He's on Twitter, and again I get folks, listen,

72
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into the moral and ethical

73
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: connotations of insulting people on Twitter. I'm talking from a

74
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: strict political tactical perspective. Again, while the liberal media was

75
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: infatuated with the Twitter thing, that couldn't get off it

76
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: right under their little noses, what happened yesterday the travel

77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: restrictions took effect, Kate's Law was passed in the House,

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: all while the media people the shiny red object chasing

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: the the little shiny red objective look squirrel around the room.

80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: Everything again is happening right under your noses. So little

81
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: note for you all in the media. I'm not giving

82
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: you tactical advice, but who's playing? Who here? Serious question?

83
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: Who is playing? Who? Here? Are you guys getting played?

84
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: Because I know you think you're getting over on this guy.

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: And and listen, let me be crystal clear on this, folks.

86
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm not, like you know, a rabid Trumpster or anything.

87
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: By the way, my computers driving me crazy. Every time

88
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: I like fill in on a radio show, this restart

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: thing happens on my computer. Sorry, not that you need

90
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: to know, but it drives me nuts. Can you restart

91
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: another time? Like you have to restart three o'clock in

92
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: the afternoon? Gosh, talk about bad luck? But who's playing?

93
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: Who here? With Twitter? I don't know if he did

94
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 1: it on purpose, if he knew the vote on Kate's

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: Law was gonna happen yesterday were talking about the president.

96
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: I know he knew the Trump the Kates Law. What

97
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. He knew obviously the travel restrictions were

98
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna take effect. I don't know if he did that

99
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: on purpose, tweeting this out to get them to do

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: the shiny red ball look squirrel thing. But who's playing who?

101
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: What's comical to me is that they think they're getting

102
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: over the media really thinks they're winning. Their their popularity

103
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: is like seventeen percent of Republicans or something. You're even

104
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: left or even less. Uh Freudian slipped there even less

105
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: trust the media, And I wanted to hit this too.

106
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: I even I wrote this down to make sure I

107
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 1: said this regarding Trump and Twitter. Twitter from Queen's Twitter.

108
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: That may be a Boston thing, actually, but regarding Trump

109
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: and Twitter, why are we taking our talking points from

110
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: the media, Why why are we listening to the media?

111
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: Why are so Trump the genius of Trump and Twitter?

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: Right now? Right? And granted yesterday we could maybe he

113
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: could have rephrased the tweet a little bit, Okay, I

114
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: I stipulate that I'm not going to get into the

115
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: morals and ethics of it, and I'm certainly not gonna

116
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: be lectured by about morals and ethics from liberal media

117
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: people who supported you know, Bill Clinton and Obama. And

118
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: I'll go into that list in a little while. But

119
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: the genius of Trump and Twitter is a hundred and

120
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: forty character limit on Twitter gives you an automatic news

121
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: headline if you cover the tweets. If you cover the tweets,

122
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: he automatically bypasses the liberal media creates his own headline.

123
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: But the left, the liberal media, hasn't figured this out yet.

124
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: So why are we taking our talking points from them? Now?

125
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: The talking points from the liberal media are number one,

126
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: you've heard I know you've heard this. They say, well,

127
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: this is not presidential behavior, and I I have a

128
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: response for that, because let me let me get it

129
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: into the double standard. First of all, what presidential behavior

130
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 1: is first, So let me get this straight. We're being

131
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: lectured by the liberal meeting. That's what they are. Let's

132
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: not pull any punches here and pretend there are otherwise,

133
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: We're being lectured by the liberal meter about what's presidential

134
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: rhetoric and what is it? They said almost nothing? They

135
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: they stood easy there when Obama compared Republicans to Iranian terrorists.

136
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: When Obama's administration at least at a minimum, stood by

137
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: the way the i r S attacked conservative groups, using

138
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: the the the monopoly power of force of the United

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: States government against conservative groups to sick the i r

140
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: S on them. Nobody seemed to get was that was presidential?

141
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: Are you serious? What is this di boso the clown show?

142
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: That's oh gosh, let's get on Trump for Twitter. But

143
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: don't worry about the i r S going after innocent Americans. Hey,

144
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: that's all good. Quat ground of applause, Obama compares to

145
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: the Republicans again, the Iranian hardline is a terrorist regime.

146
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: But that presidential. Apparently nobody seemed to care too much

147
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 1: about that. We had Obama telling Republicans this is an oldie,

148
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: but goody. We had Obama telling the Republicans that, remember,

149
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: they're getting the back of the car and they were driving,

150
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: and you drove the car over the cliff, so you're

151
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: not getting the back of the car, and we'll drive

152
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: the car. Literally tell you he was driving a car

153
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: over the cliff. But that was apparently presidential because golden

154
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: calf Obama said it. He's the golden care religious figure

155
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: of of the far left. There's nothing he could have

156
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: done wrong. Now again, I want to be clear on

157
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: this to steal in Obama. Let me be clear, I'm

158
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: not trying to say that two wrongs make it right

159
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: here that because I think Obama reset the standard for

160
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: what is beneath the dignity of the office, that we

161
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: should follow up and support his Republicans behavior that we

162
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: think is frankly, maybe undignified. I know some people have

163
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: some legitimate gripes about the tone of the tweets. What

164
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you in the argument I'm trying to make

165
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: here is unless you're willing to live up to that

166
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: standard yourself, liberal media hacks and liberals themselves, you have

167
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: forfeited your right to speak on the issue at all.

168
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: You have no credibility, you have no moral high ground

169
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: you have There's no dignity in what you're saying at all.

170
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: It's it's immature, it's unprofessional, it's whatever. It doesn't you.

171
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: You have no that's what they call legally standing on

172
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: this at all. You have no standing for a court case.

173
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: You've been totally discredited. You said nothing. You stood by

174
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: when Harry read falsely accused Mitt Romney of of cheating

175
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: on his taxes. You didn't care about that. Frankly either,

176
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: did Harry Read. Do you remember after the fact, when

177
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: they asked Harry Read about it, They said, do you

178
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: regret saying on the Senate floor that Mitt Romney didn't

179
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: pay his taxes? He's like, we want didn't we He

180
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: didn't care at all. He didn't care one bit. Nobody

181
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: cared about that. Now, granted he's not the president, but

182
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: he was the Senate majority leader of minority leader, kind

183
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: of a big deal. Nobody cared about that. What about

184
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: Hillary when she was running for president when she decided

185
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: to call of Americans deplorable deplorable? Nobody cared? Again, where

186
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: was the media on that one? There was some isolated,

187
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: uh folks on the left who felt like they had

188
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: us stay say something, but there was no concerted media

189
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: outcry seven coverage like we had yesterday with this Trump

190
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: and Twitter thing. The point I'm trying to make folks

191
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: again is that why are we listening to liberal standards

192
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: here when liberals have no standards? Why? I don't get it.

193
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't understand this. Liberals will not that they will

194
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: do nothing to to fix and clean up their own house,

195
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: but yet when it comes to Trump on Twitter, they

196
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: will say, oh, that's not presidential one more thing and

197
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 1: this presidential thing, by the way, that's important. Where are

198
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: the rules on this? No, I'm serious, Like, where are

199
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: the presidential rules? Like there is is there like a

200
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, Joey begott Donut's code of rules in order

201
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: for the president, Like he's supposed to do this. He's

202
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: got to wear a red tie on Tuesday and on

203
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: Twitter he's not allowed to say this, and on Wednesday

204
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: sports jackets are only allowed after nine pm. Where are

205
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: the I don't understand, Like, where are the rules of

206
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: what's presidential? He's the president. You may not like it,

207
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: but it's by nature presidential. The guy. What are you

208
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: expecting the guy to do that You're expecting Trump to change?

209
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Like any of this surprised you? What he campaigned is

210
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: someone different. I think what bothers the Libs and the

211
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: establishment aryan class is the fact that he's been doing

212
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: this now for almost two years and it's really not

213
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: moving his base at all. The base is like, wait,

214
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: we got a guy in the Oval office who says

215
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 1: what he feels. It feels what he says. We may

216
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: not like it, we may not think it's always phrased

217
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: in the most terrific way. Something times it may, you know,

218
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: kind of murky up the message a little bit, but

219
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: he's not kidding folks. He's a builder from Queens. I

220
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: was from Queens. My dad's worked with builders his whole life.

221
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: I know Queens, Believe me, I know Queens, and I'm

222
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: pretty familiar with the whole builder class. When I got

223
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: back from the Brank, I'm gonna explain to you a

224
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: little bit about what Donald Trump has to deal with

225
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: and why Donald Trump is the way he is, and

226
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: how these double standards we should absolutely stop taking our

227
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: talking points from the left, not only on this but

228
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: on another issue as well, which is really infuriating. I

229
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: got some sound of media people already doing the guilt

230
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,719
Speaker 1: by association nonsense. All right, I'm Dan Bongino at de

231
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: Bongino on Twitter. If you want to send me a tweet, comments, criticisms,

232
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: we take them all, and if you want to give

233
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: us a call eight hundred nine four one seven three

234
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: to six, we'll be right back. From number one New

235
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: York Times best selling author and radio host Mark our

236
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: Levin comes in essential new book, Rediscovering Americanism and the

237
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: Tyranny of Progress of is Um a searing plea for

238
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: a return to America's most sacred values. Mark our Levin

239
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: revisits the founder's warnings about the perils of overreach by

240
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: the federal government and concludes that the men who created

241
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: our country would be outraged and disappointed to see where

242
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: we've ended up. Levin asks how do we save our

243
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: exceptional country because our values are in such a precarious state.

244
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: He argues that a restoration to the essential truths on

245
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: which our country was founded has never been more urgent,

246
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: and understanding these principles can serve as the antidote to

247
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,359
Speaker 1: tyrannical regimes and governments. Rediscovering Americanism is not an exercise

248
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: in nostalgia, but an appeal to his fellow citizens to

249
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: reverse course for the sake of our children and our

250
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: children's children. Rediscovering Americanism and the Tyranny of Progressivism by

251
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: Mark R. Levine, available now wherever books are sold. Welcome

252
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: back to the Sean Hannity showed Dan Bongino, contributing editor

253
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: over a Conservative review filling in for Sean Today, can

254
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: tweet me at deep on Gino if you have any comments, criticisms, whatever,

255
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: We take them all over there. So before the break,

256
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: I was talking about Trump and Twitter and you know,

257
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: the Looney Tunes left and how you know Trump should

258
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: be banned from Twitter, exiled and peached, sent to an

259
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: island in the South Pacific somewhere to live alone for

260
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,479
Speaker 1: the rest of his life. I mean, it's just utter insanity,

261
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: and how it's a total double standard. Again, they care

262
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: about Trump's tweets, but nobody cared when Obama and Hillary

263
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: insulted Uh, frankly the entire country. Hillary that a Conservatives

264
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: and Republicans, you're all deplorables. I mean what nobody seemed

265
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: to care then. But now it's all about decorum and

266
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be presidential, as if there's some kind of

267
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: a rule book on this about what's presidential. You know,

268
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: golf clap for Kelly and Conway. When they asked you

269
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: that question one time about presidential, she goes, he's the president,

270
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: so it's presidential. You don't have to like it. You

271
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: don't have to like you don't have to agree with it,

272
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: you know. I I congrats to some of the Republicans

273
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: out there if feel the need to voice their opinion

274
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: on it too. Oh, I think we should focus on.

275
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: You do your thing, if that's what appeals to your constituents,

276
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: do your thing. I don't really care. But this whole

277
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: thing that it's not presidential is crap. Folks. Listen to me,

278
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: digestis one please. Okay, the guy's a builder from Queens. Okay. I,

279
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: like I said before the break, I grew up in Queens.

280
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: I know Queen's Well. It is a everybody in Queens

281
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: has an inferiority complex. And I mean I'm from there.

282
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: I mean that in the most positive glowing way possible.

283
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: They're all fighters. I don't necessarily mean fist fighters, but

284
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: they're all fighters. You know why For those of you

285
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: not from New York and from the Five boroughs, here's

286
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: the way it works. In Queens. We're never as rich

287
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: as the Manhattan people. Oh they got some nice pockets

288
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: of wealth. You're never as tough as the Brooklyn people.

289
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: Staaten Island, you're kind of you know, that's they do

290
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: their own thing in Staten Island. Long Island has its

291
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: own thing going to That's kind of like people who

292
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: were in Queens and just left later on in life.

293
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: But that's the whole. That's the there's a there's a

294
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: complex there, and unless you grew up in the area,

295
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: will never understand the Queen's mentality. It's like, we're never

296
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: the you know, the the hoity toity bourgeoisie type, because

297
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: the Manhattan people have a monopoly on that, right, and

298
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: then the Brooklyn people have a monopoly on the edgy,

299
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: tough stuff somebody have left, or the Bronx. By the way,

300
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: to the Bronx, you have some real hardcore people up there.

301
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: They grow up tough, they have an edge to him

302
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: and Queens. It's always like, well, are the Queen's kids

303
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: the rich kids. Well, they're not really rich like the

304
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: Manhattan kids. Well they're the poor tough kids. No, they're

305
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: not the poor tough kids either. Those are the Brooklyn

306
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: and Bronx guys. I grew up there. I'm telling you,

307
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: everybody in Queens has an edge. A lot of the

308
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: kids I knew in Queens when I worked in this

309
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: supermarket in Forest Hills, they just wanted to I'm not kidding.

310
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: They just wanted to beat the crap out of somebody

311
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: half the time to show you they were as tough

312
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: as the Brooklyn kids. And then they wanted to drive

313
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: expensive cars even though they had no money because they

314
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: wanted to be able to think they had money. Like

315
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: the Manhattan people. The guys that builder from Queens, he's

316
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,359
Speaker 1: been he they have everybody and Queens has this complex.

317
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: I they'll have it. I'm forty two years old. I'm

318
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: not kidding. I'm psychoanalyzing myself. And when you're a builder

319
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: from Queens, what are you dealing with in New York?

320
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: All the time you're dealing with the city, which is

321
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: a disaster to deal with, you're dealing with the mob,

322
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: and even worse disaster to do not that you're avorting

323
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: with the mob. They're trying to mess up your business.

324
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: Half the time, you're dealing with unions, some of the

325
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: toughest union negotiators in the world. And then you're surprised

326
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: that a guy whose entire life he's had to deal

327
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: with unions, criminality, you know, people shaking him down New

328
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: York City trying to shake him down, and he's from Queens.

329
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: And now you're all of a sudden you're shocked that

330
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: when you call him crazy on the morning show Morning

331
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: Joe Schmo Show, you're all of a sudden you're stunned

332
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: when he fires back a bomb in your direction. Are

333
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: you really are you that dumb? Do you live in

334
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: a bubble? Are you really surprised by this or you're

335
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: just feigning ignorance? All right, Welcome back to the Sean

336
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: Hannity O. Dan Bongino filling in for Sean, contributing editor

337
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: over Conservative Review at the Bongino on Twitter, if you

338
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: want to send a message my way to all my

339
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: own stunts on Twitter. So again, before the break, I

340
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: was talking about this Twitter war that's broken out between

341
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: Trump and MSNBC. You know it's not presidential, which is

342
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: what the left tells you in Hey, listen, you know

343
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: it's not the way I well, you know what, let

344
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: me rewind that tape. Um, it probably is the way

345
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: the Twitter. I'm I go a little uh, I'm a

346
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: little out there on Twitter. Let's say. But the guy's

347
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: a fighter. I I don't know what you're expecting from him.

348
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: I really don't. I mean, I'm saying this to the

349
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: establishment Republicans out there, and I'm not I want to

350
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: be clear on this again. I'm not saying, you know,

351
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: you don't have the right to create. Of course you do.

352
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: You have the right to criticize your you know, elected

353
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: politicians have been elected by their constituents too. If they're

354
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: hearing things they don't like the open your mouths, you know, Democrats,

355
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: good principal democrats, the few that are left. You certainly

356
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: have the right to critic size the presidents of free

357
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: country is a constitutional republic. But why we are listening

358
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: to the lib media hack liberals who have zero principles

359
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: at all? Again, couldn't have cared any less when Obama

360
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: and Hillary and Harry Reid and Al Frankin Elizabeth Warren

361
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: everyone insults and the means the character of any Republican

362
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: they deem a threat. Why we're taking advice from them?

363
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: You can throw that out the window. Uh, you know,

364
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: don't care? Sorry, not sorry, by now bye, Felicia, have

365
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: a good day. Don't care. Why are you lecturing us?

366
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: We don't care. It's like, you know, all we hear

367
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: is Charlie Brown's teacher. H r R h R Right.

368
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: We don't hear you. We don't care. When we do

369
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: hear you, we care even less. The only reason I

370
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: hear you is because I don't have available ear plugs

371
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: when you're talking. I changed the state. If I'm forced

372
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: to hear you because somehow you know I'm at an

373
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: event that I can't escape you. I literally, I just

374
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: like in my cringe in side, I listened to what

375
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: you're saying, and then I take notes so I know

376
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: to do the opposite. Nobody's taking your advice on the

377
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: Trump thing. Nobody cares what you think. Nobody cares. The

378
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: guy is a fighter. He is a builder from Queens. Okay.

379
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: He is a rough edged builder from Queens. He has

380
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: always had to deal with really edgy people, sometimes very

381
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: nasty people his entire life. And it surprises you shockingly

382
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: that when you when you say nasty things about him

383
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: on national cable news, he fires back, and and it's

384
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 1: so by the way, it's so weak. You know, one

385
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: thing I hate is weakness. I can't stand weakness. It

386
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. Anyone who knows me will tell it

387
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: drives me wild. I I don't mean physical weakness. You

388
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: know they're not everybody's born able to bench prest five

389
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: d pounds and Zurcher squad another seven fifty. I mean

390
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: physical weakness drives me crazy. And the media they're like, oh,

391
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 1: poor us, Oh this is so bad. It's un presidential.

392
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: He's bullying us. Oh what what are you kidding? Folks?

393
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: I've run for office, albeit unsuccessfully. Granted there are no

394
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: silver medals, and politics came close close don't count. But

395
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: I've run for office. Done with that, thank god, recovering politician.

396
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: If when you run for office like I didn't like

397
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: Trump has, you will have I promise you a completely

398
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: different view of the media. I nail it, take it

399
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: to the bank, and cash that check. Until you've been

400
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: through the experience. So wait, let me rewind the tape

401
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: a little bit and run as a Republican or even worse,

402
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: as a conservative, which I did. Until you've run for

403
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: office as a conservative, you have the right to comment,

404
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you you don't have the full picture.

405
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear from political consultants. I don't

406
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: want to hear people. Oh I was on a campaign.

407
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: Once I walked in a parade, I bought some No. No,

408
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean people who have actually run. Until know you've

409
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: seen the savagery of a biased, hack left wing media.

410
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: Until you've seen it and been a victim of it firsthand,

411
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: you've almost forfeited your right to comment on this. Articulately. Hey,

412
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm want to get back this in a second. But

413
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm just taking a note here so I

414
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: don't lose my spot. But there is some breaking news

415
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: and I want you to think where you go for you.

416
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: There's a there's a shooting going an active shooter situation

417
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: at Bricee and Bronx Lebanon. Guys. Yeah, I think it's

418
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: Bronx Lebanon Hospital. Apparently three doctors a shot. Very serious story.

419
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: We're covering it um as news comes in. I will

420
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: into disperse the information throughout the show if we get

421
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: anything new. But apparently according to news reports, UM, it

422
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: is still an active shooter situation. Looks like three doctors shots,

423
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: a very serious situation up in the Bronx right now. Again,

424
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: if we get any more breaking news and updates, I'll

425
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: be absolutely sure UM to get that out there so

426
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: you're so you're aware of what's going on, and if

427
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: the situation resolves itself, I'll be sure to put that

428
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: out well. But as of now, looks like three doctors

429
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: shot in what looks like a really horrible situation up

430
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: near the Grand Concourse and the Bronx at Bronx Lebanon Hospital.

431
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: Those active shooters situations scare the you know, if you

432
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: never know what they are, they terrorism or the domestic related.

433
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: And we don't have any information now, but you know,

434
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: at least from if if it turns out to be

435
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: something on the terrorism angle. We don't know any of

436
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: that yet. It's always scared me as a former Secret

437
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: Service agent, because these are the kind of things that

438
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: require very little planning. You know, if you have the

439
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: mental state that you want to go do this kind

440
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: of damage, they don't require a lot of planning, and

441
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: planning leaves investigative footprints which investigators can you know, crack

442
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: a case before it happens. Think about it. In the

443
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: nine eleven scenario, right, you had a bunch of people

444
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: who took flight training. There were clues along the way.

445
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: Now some of the clues sadly were missed, but there

446
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: were clues. When you have shooters situations like this, active

447
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: shooter situations where people just take small arms and tactical

448
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: assaults and they want to do some kind of damage,

449
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: it's very hard to stop these kinds of things. Very hard.

450
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean, the only real option you have afterwards is

451
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: to do, uh, you know, a hot wash on it

452
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: and find out if he's you know, we've got some

453
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: kind of Facebook page, but it's very difficult to stop

454
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: these things in advance. All right, But getting back to

455
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: my story about Trump quick, and I just want to

456
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: sum this up. We shouldn't be taking any of our

457
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: cues from the liberal media on this's none of it.

458
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in their opinion on it. I've been

459
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: the subject of their attacks. These are not legitimate people.

460
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: And let me just tell you it's a quick thing too.

461
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give out names.

462
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do what they do to us because

463
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: it's not important and it would wouldn't be the right

464
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: thing to do. But and if if I give you

465
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: a quick plug quick. I have a book coming out

466
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: in September, and thank you to anyone who knows me

467
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: who bought the book. It's available on Amazon now. It's

468
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: called Protecting the President. And some of the chapters I

469
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: talked about what we did in the Secret Service, and

470
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of like what happened with the fall of

471
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: the Secret Service, not the agents, how all of the

472
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: bad problems developed. But when I was there, I dealt

473
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: with these media people behind the scenes. Some of the

474
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: people you see on TV and these big time personalities

475
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: and you know people back then when I was there,

476
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: who are now big time personalities and some of these

477
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: liberal networks. The fact that these people are commenting on

478
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: what's morally and ethically upstanding, like, oh my gosh, you

479
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: insulted Mika Bradzynski's face, Oh my god, after she called

480
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: you a liar and a hack and mentally unstable. Oh oh,

481
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: this is so terrible. The fact that these people are

482
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: the judge and jury in this morals and ethics court

483
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen is hysterical. You get a couple of

484
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: adult beverages and anyone who's been on a foreign presidential

485
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: trip from a White House staff and ask him about

486
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: what the press does. You'll have a whole different view

487
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: on the press commenting on moral matters. It's like moral matters,

488
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: they can't even do journalism. You want the press to

489
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: comment on the Ten Commandments? Are you? Are you serious?

490
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: Do you know what these some of these not all.

491
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: I'm not going to impute all of them like they

492
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: do to conservatives, But I'm telling you I've been there. Okay,

493
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: I've seen it up close in personal A lot of

494
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: good people there, but there are a lot of a

495
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: lot of them who are total knuckleheads, who have no

496
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: morals or ethics at all, and they're commenting on us,

497
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: and we're taking their word as gospel pun intended. You

498
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: must be kidding me. I'm telling you they're lucky. White

499
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: House staffords don't talk about some of the stories. And why,

500
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure. And it's certainly not a matter

501
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: of like, oh, well, you know, it's a what do

502
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: they That's not it. It's something like these guys have

503
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: relationships and it's business stuff. It's not it because when

504
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: you get these guys outside of their business circles, I'll

505
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: tell you any story you want to hear. All right,

506
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: moving on, I got some audio here, you know. Let

507
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: me take a quick call if you want to give

508
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: us a call. By the way, eight one seven, three

509
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: two six. If I don't do that again, I feel

510
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: bad given out the phone. I'm not taking a call.

511
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: Let's take Laney from Houston, Texas. Laney, Yeah, yeah, I know.

512
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: It's my favorite time of the year. I love it.

513
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: Although I live in Florida and it's it's like a

514
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: buck forty down here, but it is the greatest place

515
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 1: on earth. I live where everybody goes on vacation. It's

516
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: the greatest thing every day, and you know it's weird, Lady.

517
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: It feels like that too, though, Like when you moved

518
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: to Florida. There's something they I think they pump into

519
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: the air the state of Florida that just makes everybody

520
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: like chill out. Nobody yells at anyone in the supermarket line,

521
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: like when I was in New York. I'm sorry, I promise,

522
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: I'll let you make your point. But when I lived

523
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: in New York, in Texas, yeah that's right there, you're right,

524
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: you're damn. They don't ever mess with Texas, right, that's

525
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: what they say. But down here, it's like you sit

526
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: on the line at the publix and you know they're

527
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: they're talking to the woman or the guy at the

528
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: checkout counter and the order is already done, and nobody's like,

529
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: hey daddy, O move it. I can't tell you how

530
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: many times in New York, like people would like shove

531
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: me with the car, like hey, Ace, I got stuff

532
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: to do. And every it was always a name like Ace,

533
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: chief Boss. It was never your actual neighbor. Yeah. It's like, yeah,

534
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: that's another way, all right, what do you got for us?

535
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: Bottom line is the accusations were president Trump not being

536
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: president is coming from journalists who have no journalistic standards.

537
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: They do not ask the questions who, what, when, where? Why?

538
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 1: Everything's biased. I watched news stories all the time and

539
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: have three questions at the end that haven't even been approached.

540
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: But I do believe Trump's methodology. It's almost like an

541
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: exorcist shooting it out there, and then we get to

542
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 1: see the demons hiss and matter and mask their teeth.

543
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: It's fabulous. You know, I'm glad you brought this up

544
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: because one of the things that you said to who, what, when,

545
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: where and why? Which was the original intention of journalism?

546
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: And why I am so bitter towards journalist. I'm not

547
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: bitter towards editorial people. You know. I got some Chris

548
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: Matthew stuff later he has an opinion. Fine, but that

549
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: you're right about the journalists. They're supposed to give us

550
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: the facts. But what they're not doing, lady, is they're

551
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: not giving us the facts. They're creating the facts and

552
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: the one story, and it's all for advocacy masquerading as journalism.

553
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: That is the tremendus. This resentment and you broke in

554
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: with a shooting that's happening right now. How many times

555
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: has the elected officials the press and they're covering these

556
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: things that actually are sanctioning partisan violence, which is very upsetting. Well,

557
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: that's it's interesting in a very very sad direction. Well,

558
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, lady, I appreciate. That's actually where

559
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: I was going next. I was an unintentional but perfect segue.

560
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: So I appreciate the call. Yeah, that's you know, I

561
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: was talking about double standards. Why we're you know, on

562
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: a double standards on what presidential rhetoric is again, Like

563
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: they didn't care about Obama, Hillary or Harry Reids saying

564
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: the most vile things about Republicans, but they care all

565
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden now that Trump tweets and listen to

566
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: Trump says some things that are you know, you probably

567
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: could phrase differently. Yeah, but I'm just not willing to

568
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: play this game with the liberal media. I'll talk with

569
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: morally upstanding people who criticized Trump on principles and have

570
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: a problem with the way he goes after folks, that's fine,

571
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to debate with liberal hacks in

572
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: the media who are doing this for one reason, one

573
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: reason only, just because they hate Trump. I'm just not

574
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna do it. But the double standard thing, I'm glad

575
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: you brought that up also when it comes to this,

576
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, with with the political violence. Of course, we

577
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: had the horrible shooting with Steve Scalisee and and the

578
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: members of Congress and Virginia at the baseball field, and

579
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: you're already seeing, you know what was a cooling down period,

580
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: thankfully a few days after that, where some of the

581
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: the hostile rhetoric on the left. I'm not going to

582
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: say on the right, because everybody wants to make this

583
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: all like this is a bipartisan matter, and it's not.

584
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They are isolated incidents of stupidity amongst people

585
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: who are conservatives, and there's unified efforts of stupidity on

586
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: the far left. I mean, you have you had the

587
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: whole Black Lives Matter movement, which which I mean they

588
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: got invited to the White House. If they're multiple incidents

589
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: of people calling for the death of cops, you know,

590
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: you had all kinds of it. You had the Southern

591
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: Poverty Law Center out there labeling people hate groups. Even

592
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: after the Family Research Center shooting, with a guy was

593
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: motivating by the Southern Poverty Law Center website to go

594
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: in there and shoot the place up. These are incidents

595
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: on the left where they have a real problem, a

596
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: systemic problem on the left. But there's a total double

597
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: standard there too. Now we come back on the other

598
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: side of this break. I have some audio. It's really disturbing.

599
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: It's troubling audio by people on the left, commentators and

600
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: media types who were doing this guilt by association thing

601
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: again with conservatives, even though there's nothing, we haven't done

602
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: anything but ignoring their side of the equation. All right,

603
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Bongino at the Bongino on Twitter or beer back.

604
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Seawan Handy showed Dan

605
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: Bongino at the Bongino on Twitter filling in for Sean Hey.

606
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: At four o'clock coming up, I have a Congressman, Mark Meadows.

607
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss that, Chairman of the Freedom Caucus.

608
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: I love this guy. I just want to say it's

609
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: I have a lot of love for him. He's a

610
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: good man. For reasons I'm not going to share publicly,

611
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: but he's a really good dude. If I could say

612
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: that with all due respect to the congressman's he's coming

613
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: up at four. We'll get into the nitty gritty. I

614
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: don't oom ocam, why can't re repeal this disaster? I mean, seriously,

615
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: I know it's not his fault, but I'll ask him.

616
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: And then at a fourth thirty we have match slap.

617
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: Another good friend from the American Conservative Union five o'clock,

618
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: Jessica Tarlof, who is a Democrat, a liberal, but I

619
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: like her a lot. She defends her position passionately, so we'll, uh,

620
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: we'll argue a little bit in a nice kind of way.

621
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss that coming up at five o'clock.

622
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: And uh, I do have to get into the Obamacare.

623
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: Take a quick update because that's obviously a big story.

624
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm a quick update on this really terrible situation, uh

625
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: breaking right now in New York. Uh local news looks

626
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: like they're reporting that the shooter. There was a shooting

627
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: in the hospital in Bronx Lebanon Hospital off the Grand

628
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Concourse up in New York on the seventeenth floor, sixteenth

629
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: and seventeenth floor. It looks like a couple of doctors,

630
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: three doctors were shot and the shooter. According to the

631
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: news and looking at now is a former employee of

632
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: the hospital. Local news is reporting that he is in custody,

633
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: that he was dressed like a doctor. So this situation

634
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: is unfolding now. I will update you throughout the show

635
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: as appropriate. Lauren and Jason are getting me the breaking news,

636
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: and during the break we're listening in. So yeah, really

637
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: terrible situation. Again, as a former law enforcement officer, you know,

638
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: these are those moments that really make you cringe. But

639
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: it looks like he was a former employee of the hospital.

640
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: So although we can't draw any conclusions right now, I'm

641
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: just watching the news as many of you are, it

642
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: appears that it had something to do with maybe something

643
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: that happened at his job. So say your prayers, folks.

644
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: You know I'm a sinner, I'm a Christian like everyone else,

645
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: but so all in the hands of God. Now, all right, folks,

646
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: I'll be back with you have to break Congress and

647
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: Mark Rettos sook anyway, I'm Dan Bongino. All right, Welcome

648
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: back to the Sean Hannity Show. Dan Bongino at the

649
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: Bongino on Twitter, filling in for Seawan. Out of the bullpen,

650
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: warming up the right arm maybe not as good as

651
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: old Marianna Rivera, but trying to do my best. By

652
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: the way, you ever see that video when Marianna Rivera retired,

653
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: That was like the most touching video. Bring a tear,

654
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: dr Eye. Hey. On a different note, more seriously, a

655
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: quick update on this hospital shooting up in the Bronx

656
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: at Bronx Lebanon of Grand Car of course. Uh, the

657
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: shooter was a doctor from the hospital who was fired.

658
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: According to updates I'm seeing now, Uh, he came back.

659
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: He shot with a rifle. It looks like three doctors.

660
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: The hospital shooter is now being reported on the news

661
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: is now dead. I think that's confirmed by the NYPD.

662
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: So real, real tragedy developing up there with the Bronx.

663
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: Will get more information, will update you as the show

664
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: goes on. But now we have with us a good

665
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: friend of the show. I'm a big fan of this

666
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: guy of Congressman Mark Meadows. Congressman, how are you. I'm

667
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: doing well. I'm a big fan of yours, Dan, and

668
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: obviously our players go out to all those that you know,

669
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: family members and those involved that we're in harm's way

670
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: there in in the Bronx Lebanon Hospital. In New York.

671
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: But I can say that you know, as we look

672
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: at at that unfolding uh, you know, we're we're reminded

673
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: that you know, each day is a precious day. But

674
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: it's great to be with you. Look forward to chatting

675
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: with you on what's happening here in Washington, d C.

676
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: Were more accurately what's not happening and and should be happening. Well,

677
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: and uh, just you know when you you brought that

678
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: up to it's just in a moment to recognize our

679
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: men and women in blue too. And I know this

680
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: is a particularly obviously sensitive topic to you as well,

681
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: given the horrible shooting that happened at the Congressional baseball

682
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: field and the heroic actions of those Capitol police officers,

683
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: and this was an obvious tragedy. Today looks like we

684
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: have three people who were shot. But again without our

685
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: men and women in blue running into the fight while

686
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: everyone is justifiably trying to get away from that, you know,

687
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: we this situation probably would have been far worse, just

688
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: like the situation down in Alexandria. So uh, really a

689
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: quick shout out, well, I know you feel the same,

690
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: and that's well said, Dan, and I can tell you

691
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: there are are are men and women in blue are

692
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: all of our first responders, whether the law enforcement or

693
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: firefighters or e M S personnel. You know, they they're

694
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: on call and many times they'll birthdays or anniversaries or

695
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: or other special events, kids, baseball, uh, you know, games

696
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: in order to serve us. And so a real shout

697
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: out to them. Not only were we protected by Capitol Police,

698
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: but as you mentioned, the men and women in blue

699
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: protecting those or it could have been a greater tragedy

700
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: there in New York today. Absolutely so. Congressman. On a

701
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: on a different note, here we have this Obamacare fight

702
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: going on, and you know when they when they asked

703
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: me to fill in today, you know, Laurence said, who

704
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: do you want to have in? I'm like, well, I

705
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: gotta have Congressman Meadows because I mean Frankie and I

706
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: say this, and I feel no need to comment on us,

707
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: but I just don't trust a lot of politicians. But

708
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 1: you're one of the few guys, and there are there

709
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: are more out there. I know, you know a lot

710
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: of there are a lot of reputable people up there.

711
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: I know the general term politician has a negative connotation

712
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: these days. May be duly deserved, but there are some

713
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: really good people up there, and you're one of the

714
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: guys I know is a true teller for a lot

715
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: of reasons. Not the subject of the show right now,

716
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: but I can vouch for you personally, and one of

717
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: the things that's really bothering me, and being in kind

718
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: of talk radio activism and writing for a conservative of

719
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: you idea with the general public a lot, and I'm

720
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: sure you do as well with your constituents. Congressmen. People

721
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: are really really irked right now. Who went out there

722
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: and knocked on the doors, donated to campaigns for conservatives

723
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: and we're engaged in the Tea Party revolution in Congress.

724
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,479
Speaker 1: They're really bothered that seemingly everyone promised repeal and yet

725
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: we have the Congress, we have the House. What's going on?

726
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: We're pulling our hair out. Well, I mean, they're they're frustrated,

727
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,959
Speaker 1: and you know why they should be. I mean, we're

728
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: not delivering on what we promised, Dan, And I can

729
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 1: tell you that it's not just those that are activists

730
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: and Tea Party conservatives and in those that love liberty

731
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: and freedom. You know, it's the country club Republicans that

732
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: many would say, are more establishment. I had a guy

733
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 1: the other day call me and he said, listen, I've

734
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: donated to get a Republican Senate, I donated to get

735
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: a Republican in the White House. I've donated to keep

736
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: a Republican House. And yet I see no difference. Why

737
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: should I continue to do it? And it's it's all

738
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: about action, and you're right, I will speak the truth.

739
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: And so here's where where we need to be. We

740
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: need to make sure that we repeal and replace Obamacare.

741
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: But certainly repeal Obamacare because it's driving up premiums. Get

742
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: it done before we leave. And if we don't, let's

743
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: don't leave in August. Let's stay in through August. Let's

744
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: stay in until we get it done. But it's not

745
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 1: just that it's tax reform. It's making sure we build

746
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: a wall and do do all that we promised to do. Uh.

747
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: And the excuses of the past are no longer going

748
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: to be accepted by those on main street, nor should it. Yeah,

749
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, congressmen, I'm in a I'm in a swingy district.

750
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: I've all over that. I lived in New York, I

751
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: ran in Maryland. I know Florida well, I ran down here.

752
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: I live in the eighteenth I've been everywhere. Some people

753
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: knocked me for it. I like it gives me a

754
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,439
Speaker 1: great flavor for the whole country. I'm gonna really swing

755
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: Yountry And that's that's a great benefit because you get

756
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: to see it from different perspectives. But you're right, you

757
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: do know the country. I mean, I was in a

758
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: D plus six district in Maryland where everybody I ran

759
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: into was seemingly a liberal Republican from the d C suburbs. Yeah,

760
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: you learn how to talk to people from different, you know,

761
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: different political stripes. Now I'm in a swingy kind of

762
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: R plus one congressman mass district down here um in

763
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: Florida in eighteen and you go out there and you're right.

764
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: You talk to people who are even kind of loose Republicans,

765
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: their affiliation is, it's not doctrinaire, and even they're kind

766
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: of confused by this because they're like, wait, let me

767
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: get this straight. For six years now, this has been

768
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: a staple Republican party platform. This wasn't some tangential issue

769
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: that kind it came up and in nonpolite side conversations,

770
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: this is literally what people ran on and I guess

771
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a little inside perspective and I'm giving

772
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 1: up any inside baseball secrets. But do your colleagues up

773
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: there realize the damage this is going to do with

774
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: their constituents if nothing is done in Obamaca? Do they

775
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: I know you get it, but do they get it? Well,

776
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: they're starting to get it, I think. Uh. You know

777
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the people that you've talked to, whether

778
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: it was in New York or Maryland or Florida in between,

779
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: they're starting to let their members know, now here's here's

780
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: one of the secrets that that should be told. A

781
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: lot of people campaign as if they're a conservative and

782
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: say we need to do this, but when it comes

783
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: time to taking the vote, they lose their backbone. I say,

784
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: some members of Congress have the backbone of a banana.

785
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: It has some shape, but when you peel it back,

786
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: it gets real mushy and uh. And that's what we

787
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: need to do, is make sure that we give them

788
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: a real acmone. But the other thing that's been so

789
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: disconcerting to me is that I've seen people run on

790
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: repeal and replace Obamacare, and when it really comes down

791
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: to the tough votes, they would just prefer to keep Obamacare.

792
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: And it's that kind of hypocrisy to be truthful about that.

793
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: The American people are tired of whether it's on the

794
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: Democrat side or the Republican side. They want someone who

795
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 1: will speak the truth and and vote their conscience. Uh.

796
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: And and we've got to do that. I was talking

797
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: to New Gingrich yesterday and he says, listen, we have

798
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: to be about the people's business and making sure that

799
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: we get things done and and to go after uh,

800
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: what is important for them. And if they don't think

801
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: they have an advocate, they'll eventually turn us out in

802
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: November of two thousand and eighteen. Will not be pleasant

803
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: if we don't perform and and actually perform on the

804
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: president's agenda. Yeah, I mean, Congressman. The Wall Street Journal,

805
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: which you know, has its moments, but at times can

806
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: align with typical I think what we call establishment Republican

807
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: values as well. I mean, no one's gonna call them

808
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 1: die hard conservatives all the time, but I read their

809
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: op ed page. They had a piece the other day

810
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: the republic Aid Party basically calling out Republicans and saying,

811
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: if you all cannot stand against the Medicaid expansion, where

812
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: we are literally robbing Peter to pay Paul to give

813
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: health insurance to people who are well above, if not double,

814
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: the poverty line. If we can't stand up as a

815
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: unified principle, have some guts movement and say to our constituents, folks, listen,

816
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: we're all about being the wealthiest country on earth and

817
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: taking care of people who legitimately cannot take care of themselves. Okay,

818
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 1: we get it. Maybe there should be a good safety

819
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: net for people. I get it. That's an argument worth having.

820
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 1: But an argument not worth having is people making nearly

821
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: six figures literally taking money off middle class plates to

822
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: pay for health insurance they just don't want to pay

823
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: for themselves. States are going bankrupt. I mean again, Congressmen,

824
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: I preach of the choir. I know you totally get this,

825
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: but I cannot understand why some of your co workers

826
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: up there on the hill don't understand how easy of

827
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: an argument this is to make. We're giving we're paying

828
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: for rich people's medicaid. This is crazy. Well, we we

829
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: can't continue to do that, And you're right, I mean,

830
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: when when we really look at this, this is all

831
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: about making sure that we have a legitimate safety net

832
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: for those that perhaps have fallen on hard times. But

833
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: the other part that we have to do, dan As,

834
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: we have to put the value back in work. You know,

835
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: it's it's the time where we need to get people

836
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: out of poverty. We need to make sure that we

837
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: provide an opportunity where they have that. But at the

838
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: same time, we've got to make sure that when we

839
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: do that, the very policies that we support don't undermine that.

840
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: And so let's take work requirements for for Medicaid or

841
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: for some of the other welfare programs. We need to

842
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: make sure that if they get a part time job

843
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: that they can still qualify. But if they're not willing

844
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: to work, whether it's twenty hours for a job, or

845
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: twenty hours for a government volunteer or twenty hours in

846
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: vocational training, you know, I've I've found that if they're

847
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: not willing to do that, then perhaps we need to

848
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: reevaluate that. And and that's what you're gonna see the

849
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus and members across the conservative spectrum start to

850
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: focus on in the coming days. Well, I want to

851
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: thank you again. We're talking to Congressman Mark Meadows from

852
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: North Carolina, chairman of the Freedom caucuse. I really sincerely

853
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: want to thank you and on behalf of a lot

854
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: of other people who don't get the very generous opportunity

855
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: to fill in for Sean Hannity, who have quietly said

856
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: to me in the past, if you ever get the

857
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk to the Jim Jordan's or the Mark

858
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: Meadows of the world, you know, thanks for standing for something.

859
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: I mean it. I mean you guys. It ain't easy

860
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: to do what you're doing, you know, and it means

861
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: a lot coming from you because you're somebody who's willing

862
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: to stand for liberty and freedom, just like Sean Hannity.

863
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: And so I just want to say thank you and

864
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 1: for all the listeners that are out there who are

865
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: willing to continue to invest and have a belief. Let

866
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: me just tell you help is on the way. I

867
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: was at the White House the other day. This president

868
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: is serious about getting his agenda done. He is not

869
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: going to yield. He's not gonna let excuses get in

870
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: the way. And I can tell you that it's all

871
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: about making sure that he delivers on those promises. And

872
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna help him do that. Amen. Hey, folks, give

873
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: a Congressman Mark Meadows a follow on Twitter build his audience.

874
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,080

Speaker 1: but he is one of the good guys. There's a

Speaker 1: file agents. It was some really terrible management decisions. And

901
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: in light of what happened tragically in Alexandria with the

902
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,799

908
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: want to get into this about Obamacare and one of

909
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: the things and you know, I listen, I know for

910
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: ex years we've been talking about Obamacare, but it's critical

911
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,240
Speaker 1: we talk about it right now. And here's why, folks.

912
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: A lot of the polling is starting to change on Obamacare,

913
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: and do not ignore this. Do not do what liberals do.

914
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: Do not ignore polling and go, oh those Trump rallies

915
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: where he had sixty people at the stadium or whatever.

916
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean anything. Forget all that. Do not ignore

917
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: with slamming you in the face. Public polling is changing

918
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: on Obamacare, but it's not changing for the reasons the

919
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: liberal media wants you to believe. Yes, there are some

920
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: people who now approve of Obamacare. Some polls show it

921
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: at fifty approval, ladies and gentlemen, when you look at

922
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: some of the more finer research done, but they actually

923
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: ask people what Obamacare is. People hate it. People are

924
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: just afraid of change their risk averse right now. And

925
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: Obamacare was such a you know, a a hydrogen bomb

926
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: on the healthcare system that people are shell shocked right

927
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: now and they're in a panic. They're like, wait, wait,

928
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: I get it. What we have now really sucks. But

929
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: if are is what gonna happen next, is it to

930
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: stink even worse? Because I'm not gonna do that again.

931
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 1: I know this to be true because when you ask

932
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: people about the intimate details of Obamacare, and I want

933
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: to hit Matt Up with that match lap along with

934
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: this Trump Russia fiasco which is totally boomeranged on the

935
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 1: left now. But they don't like Obamacare. Don't buy into

936
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: the hype that all of a sudden Obamacare is popular

937
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: and people like it again, they are associating Obamacare with

938
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: a couple of things that are ironically infinitely small parts

939
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: of Obamacare. They think Obamacare, the general public thinks it's

940
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: pre existing conditions and kids on your insurance. To your

941
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: twenty six folks, that is a tiny sliver of what

942
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,479
Speaker 1: Obamacare is. I'm gonna explain to you during the show,

943
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: so don't miss the rest of the show what you

944
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: actually have to know, because it's it's amazing that after

945
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: six years of talking about this issue and people like

946
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: Sean and and talk radio and Conservative Review, how we've

947
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 1: been out there sounding the alarm that there are honestly,

948
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there still have

949
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: no idea what this is. They think Obamacare is pre

950
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:07,919
Speaker 1: existing condition coverage. They don't understand what it's actually doing. Regulations,

951
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: community raiding, guaranteed issues, slamming you in the face with

952
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 1: double Jiji premiums. None of this is gonna go away

953
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: if we don't stop this, none of it. Do you understand.

954
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 1: Listen to me, please before the break. It is only

955
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: going to get worse. This is not going to stop.

956
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: It is never going to end. Either we take a

957
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: stand now or we go down with this thing. We

958
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: have to stop it, all right. I'm Dan Bungino at

959
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: the Bungino on Twitter. Will be right back. Yes, yes,

960
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: we are back on the air, but not Sean Hannity.

961
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Bongino at the Bungino on Twitter, filling it

962
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: for Sean. Coming out of the bullpen today we had

963
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: Congressman Mark Meadows on before. We're talking about this Obamacare tobaccle.

964
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: All you did was promise repeal forever for six years, Man,

965
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: six years, and thank God for people like Congressman Meadows.

966
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: I really like this guy. He's one of the few

967
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: warriors up there, and I know he's on the right

968
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: side of this. But to the rest of the Congress,

969
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: been listening. Get on the team you promised repeal all right,

970
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: And in perfect timing, here we have another guest here.

971
00:50:07,239 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: We have a friend match. Slap Hey, Matt, thanks for

972
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: joining us. I appreciate it. Dan. Great to be with you. Yeah, man,

973
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 1: always good to talk to you. Chairman of the American

974
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 1: Conservative Union, A good warrior for the cause here. So, Matt,

975
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, we just had Congressman Mark Meadows on who

976
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,479
Speaker 1: I think the world of He's really a good principal guy.

977
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: And I keep saying, and I know you know a

978
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: lot of these guys personally too. I'm not name dropping

979
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: at all, but this guy behind the scenes does some

980
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: stuff that would really impress you, like he really stands

981
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: for the cause. So, and I guess the question for you, Matt, is,

982
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: why don't we have two hundred and thirty of the

983
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: Meadows Jim Jordan's types. They all they all ran on

984
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: repeal of Obamacare. What the heck is going on right now? Yeah,

985
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. You You know, my particular scorn is for

986
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: those Republican senators who are now behind the scenes trying

987
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: to keep this uh you know, three percent capital gains

988
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: tax increase that helped pay for the outrageous expenses associated

989
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: with Obamacare. They're telling all of us they want to

990
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: cut our taxes and reform taxes, but quietly they're trying

991
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: to keep the tax some of the tax increases that

992
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: were passed by Obama. And you know what, here's the

993
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: honest truth. Can I can't believe I'm saying this because

994
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was such an unfair charge a few

995
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 1: months ago. But there literally are Republicans who do not

996
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: want to repeal Obamacare. You know, Matt, I agree with

997
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 1: you that. A couple of months ago, I would have

998
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: thought that was insane too. But the proof is in

999
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: the pudding and the voters out in the field. As

1000
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: we used to say in the Secret Service, people in

1001
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: the real world that work for a living are in

1002
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: dumb And I posed this question of representative Meadows, and

1003
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: I'll pose it to you too. I know you talked

1004
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: to a lot of these guys behind the scenes. Do

1005
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: they think we're stupid? I mean, do they really think

1006
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: that if they do nothing on Obamacare, that this is

1007
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 1: somehow going to allow them to coast the reelection by

1008
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: painting themselves as as what like the same counter to

1009
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: to the President? I mean, I don't, I don't, I

1010
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 1: don't get what this what they're trying to do. This

1011
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: is a suicidal policy. I agree with you, Dan, is

1012
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: always your your straight on your right. But the the

1013
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: problem is the left wing. George Soros funded protests at

1014
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: these town halls have spooked a lot of these Republican

1015
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: members to think that if we come up with our

1016
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: Republican version of healthcare and a large number of people,

1017
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: according to the CBO, don't have health insurance coverage, that

1018
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna there. It's gonna be a career ender.

1019
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 1: And what I don't think they understand is it's exactly

1020
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: the opposite, which is, after six or seven years of

1021
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: run around the country saying Obamacare was an abomination, that

1022
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: it was terrible, that we had to scrap it, we

1023
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: had to pull it out by its roots, um, you know,

1024
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: to take a path on on coming up with that proposal.

1025
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: It's just it's simply gonna be I think it's a

1026
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: career ending for the party. I really think the Republican

1027
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,319
Speaker 1: Party is a congressional majority is on the line here.

1028
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: They had decide whether or not they do think we're

1029
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 1: stupid or we didn't hear them, or whether they're gonna

1030
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 1: keep trust with us. I I don't know why. I

1031
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: don't know why they do anything other but doing what

1032
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: they said they'd do. And you know what's strange. Matt

1033
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: talking to match Slap chairman of the American Conservative Union.

1034
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: What what's strange to me is I don't agree with

1035
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: the Democrats at all. I mean, obviously I'm a conservative.

1036
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: I have sincere political disagreements with them on larger ideological issues.

1037
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: But you have to respect their solidarity when they want

1038
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: to get something done. I'm not saying it's a good thing.

1039
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm making a moral judgment. I'm saying from a strict

1040
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: tactical perspective. When the Democrats decided we want Obamacare to pass,

1041
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: they were cutting in the corn Husker kick back, the

1042
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 1: Louisiana purchase, they were buying off congressmen. They were they

1043
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: were gonna steamroll. Remember they took all the they got

1044
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: it a veteran's bill, and did reconciliation to get it through.

1045
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: And yet when we have this simple measure running on

1046
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: something we promised to do through four elections, now repeal

1047
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: we don't even have the guts to say we're gonna

1048
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: repeal this. We're gonna wipe it the bricklean clean the wound,

1049
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna start over over the summer. To me,

1050
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: it's just I could not agree with you more that

1051
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,879
Speaker 1: this is a seminal moment for the party as a whole.

1052
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: And if they don't get that, I mean, do you

1053
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 1: think they get it? Though, Matt, are are people telling

1054
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: me I think they got it? After the election? I

1055
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: think they've been spooked some of them. Let's let's let's

1056
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 1: let's caution by saying some of them, people like Mark Meadows,

1057
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: have really done a great job of crafting a great

1058
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: bill coming out of the House. I think Mitch McConnell

1059
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: actually deserves a lot of credit. I know sometimes people

1060
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 1: get frustrated with leadership, but he's doing everything he can

1061
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: to get this path. I mean, the real culprits here

1062
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: are people like Susan Collins, who you know, she's picking

1063
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: every number of h fronts to say she disagrees with

1064
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: the bill on including defunding Plan Parenthood. You'd probably like

1065
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: to increase funding for Planned parent which is the number

1066
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: one provider of abortion services in the country. So we've

1067
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: got some real culprits in the Senate majority. I think

1068
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 1: the vast number of Republicans in the Senate get how

1069
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: important it is dan to repeal this and to come

1070
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: up with a free market alternative. But I tell you,

1071
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: more than ever, it's time for conservatives across the country,

1072
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: to call into their to to their Senate offices, to

1073
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: go to their events, give them hell over this recess.

1074
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: Tell them you expect nothing else but a free market

1075
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: version of reflecting Republican principles on healthcare, and they ought

1076
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: to pass it this month. Yeah, I mean, I agree.

1077
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: If we're gonna stick up for tax hikes, capital gains,

1078
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: tax hikes, a massive expansion of a safety net program

1079
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: that's now going to go out to people making close

1080
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: to six figures per year, I mean, this is utter absurdity.

1081
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: And you're right, this is one of those moments for

1082
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: the party where if we're not willing to stand for something,

1083
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: we're all gonna fall for everything. It's ridiculous. But hey,

1084
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to move on to another topic. And you know,

1085
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: I know you'll always give me an honest opinion, but

1086
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to sway you in either direction on

1087
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: this is I'm not one of those kind of hosts.

1088
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: If you know you don't agree, fire away. But I

1089
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 1: opened the show talking about Trump with Twitter yesterday and

1090
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: all right, listen, you and I and maybe a lot

1091
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 1: of these just could probably agree that he could phrase

1092
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 1: a lot of things differently. On Twitter. I get it.

1093
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing wrong with, you know, an honest

1094
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 1: criticism of of how he messages his message. Right, Um,

1095
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: you know that's what we as Republicans should do. We

1096
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: don't do golden calf politics. But one of the things

1097
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm having a real issue with Matt. But this whole

1098
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: thing yesterday with Morning Joe and Trump and him and

1099
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: Mika Brazinski is why are we being lectured by the

1100
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 1: far left about civility and politics when these people for years,

1101
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: we're throwing Grandma off the cliff there running that add

1102
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: now Matt the Grandma off the cliff ad again, we

1103
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: were killing grandma puppies, little children. You know, We're like

1104
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: the stay puff marshmallow guy from Ghostbusters one. I mean,

1105
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: we're the worst thing you can possibly imagine. And all

1106
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like the left is lecturing us on

1107
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: political civility. You know, I kind of don't blame Trump

1108
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: for throwing and punches back, so I'd like to get

1109
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: your perspective on it. Look, I think you know, people

1110
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: say it's not presidential when Trump tweets like he tweeted,

1111
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: And the fact is this, no matter what he does,

1112
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: he's the president and he's changing the presidency now. One

1113
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: of the things people and a lot of conservatives don't

1114
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: like is kind of the coarseness of our rhetoric, of

1115
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: our debate, that it seems like we can't be civilized.

1116
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: UM and I, for one, try very hard to to

1117
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: kind of stay on that road. I don't always succeed.

1118
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get hot, we all get hot. And I

1119
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: think the president has watched the show Morning after morning.

1120
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: I've been on that show a bunch of times. UM

1121
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: and I just for I always thought they really liked

1122
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I mean, their coverage for you know, a

1123
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: couple of years was pretty positive. And something happened, something

1124
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: personal happened between these people. I don't know if we

1125
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: all know what it is. I don't think we do

1126
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: know what it is, but it's gotten quite nasty that show.

1127
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: Every morning, UM says the worst things about the President.

1128
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: Makes mocks the size of his hands, which is, we

1129
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: know what they're with. They're what they're implying when they

1130
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: do that, and they're they mock his looks, they mock

1131
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 1: his intellectual abilities, they mocked everything about him. And I

1132
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: think people in the elite left wing media are used

1133
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: to mocking conservatives and getting away with it, and uh,

1134
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: and I think he's pushing back, and I don't. I

1135
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 1: don't always love the tone of the way he does it,

1136
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: but I do love the fact that he does push

1137
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 1: back because we're also used to carrying in the corner. Well,

1138
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: you can't see the visuals right now, but I'm like

1139
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: punching in the air right now because I'm so agreeing

1140
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: with you that I've run for office. I mean, you

1141
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: know that you you helped me out a lot. There

1142
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 1: a lot of these races. I was in very very

1143
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: hostile places twice when I ran in Maryland, which is

1144
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: very blue. And when you run for office and you

1145
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: experience what the media does firsthand, Matt, where they actively

1146
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: manipulate quotes, where they cut it off and a selected

1147
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: and they say, hey, we're not lying about what you said. No,

1148
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: you're not. You're just cutting it off, when in the

1149
00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 1: next sentence I said, you know, it's like if I

1150
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: said something like, you know, liberals would say President Ronald

1151
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 1: Reagan was really a terrible president. If they quote me

1152
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: and say President Ronald Reagan was really a terrible president,

1153
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: they're not lying, They're just cutting it off and take

1154
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: it get out of context. They do this all the time.

1155
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 1: And when you get a guy like Trump, who's a

1156
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: brawler from Queens, the guy's a builder. He's had to

1157
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: deal with this crap his whole life. He's clearly got

1158
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: an edge to him. They elected him because he's got

1159
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: an edge. And you put this morning show on cable

1160
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: news and every morning, you know, he's ugly, his kids

1161
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: are ugly, his kids are criminals. He's a Russian spy,

1162
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 1: he's a Russian agent. We don't like his wife. There's

1163
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: a mock de capitation. One guy calls him a piece

1164
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: of on the on Twitter, who's a CNN producer, And

1165
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: now we're let me get this ship. We're all supposed

1166
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: to get upset because he fires back at her. I

1167
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 1: don't know, Matt, I got other things to worry about,

1168
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, and that's not one of them that I

1169
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 1: think that something happened here. I don't know what happened

1170
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: with this relationship. I think that if if the Morning

1171
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: Joe folks are up set about this, there to have

1172
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: their show tomorrow and in a respectful and dignified way

1173
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: have a debate about the issues at hand, and uh,

1174
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: you know that's That's what I would suggest they do.

1175
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't think they should get upset when when people

1176
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: who get made fun of by the elite media push back,

1177
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: especially politicians who you know, they don't have as much airtime.

1178
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, so this is what he's got.

1179
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: He's got Twitter, He's gonna use it. Hey, I've one

1180
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: more thing. I want to hit you with. Last question,

1181
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 1: But I I've seen you a lot on Fox, and

1182
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 1: I want to uh applaud you as one of the

1183
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: reasons I want to have you on, you know, fighting

1184
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,840
Speaker 1: the good fight on the Trump Russia X files conspiracy

1185
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: theory fairy tale. Um, you know, no, you know, I'm serious,

1186
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: Like you do a really good job and you know,

1187
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 1: the talking head of ecosystem like anyone else. I mean

1188
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't do as many appearance as you,

1189
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: but I do it myself. And I'm always disappointed when

1190
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: people go on to fight the good fight and they

1191
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 1: just don't articulate it well. And you've been a beast

1192
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: on this Trump Russia thing, and I want to give

1193
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: you like a golf clap on that. But the question

1194
01:00:56,320 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: to you is hasn't this thing boomerang on the Democrat spectacularly.

1195
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: I mean, think about this, right, We've seen now who

1196
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: they really are do the CNN tapes. Also, we've seen

1197
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,919
Speaker 1: the unmasking reveal by the Obama administration officials, who still

1198
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 1: can't reveal a legitimate reason for doing it. I didn't

1199
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,959
Speaker 1: break the law, but they certainly skirted it. Loretta Lynch

1200
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: now they're looking at her for being involved with the

1201
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Hillary investigations. I mean, this thing has absolutely exploded on

1202
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats. And I'm not a shouting rawd guy, but

1203
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: i gotta tell you there's a little bit of a

1204
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 1: smirk developing in the corner of my mouth on this one. Look.

1205
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: The only I guess the only thing I would say,

1206
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 1: thank you for your nice comments. Dan means a lot

1207
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 1: to me, and I feel the same way about you.

1208
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,920
Speaker 1: The the I've seen you on see an end uh

1209
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: punch in and and and make it real. Yeah, I

1210
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: got a little traction. That's okay, that's okay, it happens.

1211
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: But I think that the I think the key here

1212
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: is this, which is I think we all ought to

1213
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: just the cognizant and sober to the fact that you know,

1214
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: independent councils tend to find wrongdoing and when you're in government.

1215
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: I served four years for President George W. Bush. They

1216
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: tend to mind wrongdoing because you know, I guess I

1217
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: guess what on the four years on the job, I

1218
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: probably did some things wrong. I didn't intend to. But

1219
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: you know you're you're moving fast. You ripped the tag off.

1220
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 1: You're a federal criminal. That's a great way to say it.

1221
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 1: You know you're not that has made this argument. We're all,

1222
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,720
Speaker 1: believe it or not, everyone listening is broken one federal

1223
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: law as a federal criminal, no matter why. If you

1224
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 1: run a business and you're just trying to, you know,

1225
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 1: make money and service service for customers, you know, I

1226
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 1: guarantee there's some ocean violation that you could commit not

1227
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: fully understanding. I mean, I just I got a bill

1228
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: here in the City of Alexandra the other day because

1229
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: I entered in my recycling plan and get him put

1230
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: him in jail plan as I use it and I

1231
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: throw it away. What more do you need to know?

1232
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Robert Muller and put him up on your list. They'll

1233
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: find they'll find something. But Jim Comey is a holier

1234
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: than now hypocrite and he uh many of us have

1235
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: worked with him. We know his reputation, and I actually

1236
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: think he's now the subject of a lot of scrutiny

1237
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: for he can't give his private for nation to Congress,

1238
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: but he can give it to his friends in Columbia.

1239
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: With the leak to the press, Loretta Lynch feels like

1240
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: she can tell the FBI director exactly what to do,

1241
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: but when Trump tries to have interactions with his FBI director,

1242
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: they make it sound like those communications are improper. The

1243
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: hypocrisy here is many fold, and I do think that, um,

1244
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, not all of what comes out will be

1245
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: will smell like roses for Team Trump. But the idea

1246
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: there was any collusion with the Russians that impacted the

1247
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: election is balderdash and and anybody who continues to push

1248
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: this is wasting the American people's time as we are

1249
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: not taking care of our real problems. And beyond that,

1250
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 1: they're really lying because there's absolutely no evidence of anything

1251
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: serious here. Well, Matt, thank you so much for joining

01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: political views of me, But I want to have an

1266
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 1: actual debate here about what the heck they think they're

1267
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna do with Obamacare. No, I really want to know

1268
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? The Democrats they have nothing.

1269
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,439
Speaker 1: All they have is Republican stink. They don't have anything else.

1270
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,080
Speaker 1: I want to hear what they're gonna do to fix

1271
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: this legislative debacle, this this neutron bomb of legislation that's

1272
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: destroyed our healthcare system. I want to see what they're

1273
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna do, and I'd like to hear what their proposals are,

1274
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: because they don't seem to be in any way constructively

1275
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: getting involved in this debate, not one little bit, and

1276
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,080

Speaker 1: senior director of research at Bustle dot com, Fox News contributor.

1285
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: You've seen her on Fox quite a bit, and co

1286
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: author of a relatively new book along with Doug Shown

1287
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: of America in the Age of Trump. That's America in

1288
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 1: the Age of Trump. Hey, Jessica, thanks for coming on today.

1289
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: I really appreciate Yeah, thanks for having me. Happy fourth

1290
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: of July. Yeah, yeah, you as well. Hey, I have

1291
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 1: to say I wanted a liberal guest to come on,

1292
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: and you were the first person to jump to my mind,

1293
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: because I mean, if I could just be candid. And

1294
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I say this with all due respect. I watch a

1295
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of liberal guests. You really sometimes on Fox I'm like, ah,

1296
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's because you do your homework, you

1297
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: know your stuff, so I want to be fair. But

1298
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 1: you really articulate your points well even if I disagree

1299
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: with them. So that's kind of a backhead that, well,

1300
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate that, but I compliment nonetheless. But

1301
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: I did want to have you on the expect actually

1302
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 1: back in it. I never guess, no, you do, you do.

1303
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: You do a good job. I disagree with you, but

1304
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: I thought you'd be a really good guest to have

1305
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 1: on to kind of have a little spicy back and

1306
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: forth here on Obamacare, because you know, I know we've

1307
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: been talking about this for six years, but now that

1308
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: we're we're there, I mean, the votes are there. I

1309
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: just had a couple of Republicans on to kind of,

1310
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, go from the Republican and that, hey, why

1311
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: aren't the Republicans doing anything? But I guess the question

1312
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:35,160
Speaker 1: I want to pose to you, as um as a

1313
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 1: a liberal, is well, what are the Democrats gonna do?

1314
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: I mean, what's what's your take on this? Is you

1315
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: is it you know Obamacare is fine and leave it

1316
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: alone or what actual fixes do you guys propose. Yeah, No,

1317
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 1: I definitely don't think that's that's something that can happen

1318
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 1: at all. I don't think you can be left alone.

1319
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: And I think Trump shimmer Nancy Pole is they're well

1320
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: aware of that. I've been hearing from Contact and DC that,

1321
01:06:57,880 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, behind closed doors, they've been talking to a

1322
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: lot of Republicans actually about things that maybe we could

1323
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: possibly make a deal on. My number one priority for

1324
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,120
Speaker 1: that is purchasing insurance across state line. We all know

1325
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: that free market competition lowers prices, um. And that wasn't

1326
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 1: in the GOP bill, which was shocking at least to

1327
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: me because that was something that they've kind of crusaded on. Right. Um,

1328
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: So I think that that's a good starting point. I

1329
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 1: think for Democrats it really I know it's probably gonna

1330
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: sound petty, but I think it matters that the name stays,

1331
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, that it's Obamacare forever, because that's going to

1332
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:35,800
Speaker 1: be kind of his major legacy piece, uh going forward.

1333
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: So I think that that has to stay there. Um

1334
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: that I think that they are looking at smart texes

1335
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: to get those prices and the premiums and deductibles down

1336
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: uman sport reforms. That's a possibility, But I think this

1337
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: is kind of the two crucial issues with insurance across

1338
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 1: state lines at the number one thing. The problem now

1339
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: is that was created a dialogue because of the way

1340
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: that the House bill looks in the GEOP and the

1341
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: Senate bill at this point though obviously who knows what

1342
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: it will come back with that you know, we have

1343
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:06,360
Speaker 1: the big cuts to medicaid in there, you have the

1344
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: issue still around create existing conditions, etcetera. So it's created

1345
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 1: in an environment where everyone's just going back to attacking

1346
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,919
Speaker 1: the other side instead of productive conversation. And I don't

1347
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:19,480
Speaker 1: know how that plays out in because voters are already disinterested,

1348
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 1: and then if you have nothing to show on either side,

1349
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 1: you know you have no major policy accomplishment. I don't

1350
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: know why people would turn out of the pole. Well,

1351
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't disagree, and I am not a fan of

1352
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: either the House or the Senate bill. I think that

1353
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: catastrophic problem exactly. But one of the is what I

1354
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 1: just wanted. I wrote down a couple of notes state lines. Okay,

1355
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: across state lines, I agree on that national markets are

1356
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: always better to reform. Totally agree there, but you said

1357
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: something there that I want to I want to kind

1358
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: of throw the red flag on. You said cuts to medicate. Now,

1359
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: this is what kind of gets me about about debating

1360
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: with liberals. They are not cuts now they can they're

1361
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: cuts to the rate of growth you're about to say, right,

1362
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 1: They're not cuts like and I think phrasing them that

1363
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: way words matter, And I think this is why conservatives

1364
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: like me get angry when I see people on you know, Fox,

1365
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: and they say cuts to medicaid. There are no cuts

1366
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 1: every network that they're saying, and there are a lot

1367
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 1: of Republicans also uprate it that way. You know, there

1368
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: are people like Rab Cortman out there and people in

1369
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 1: big medicated states like Bob Cassidy said that. What I

1370
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: will say is if you want to say it's just

1371
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: the slow and with slow growth right of Medicaid spending,

1372
01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: but the reality is they're going to be fifteen million

1373
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,280
Speaker 1: less people who have Medicaid today that are going to

1374
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: be able to be on Medicaid. And that is a

1375
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: cut no matter which way you splice it. So I

1376
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,639
Speaker 1: don't care how you crase at the point that we're

1377
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 1: going to be scaling back the Medicaid program in a

1378
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: way that we weren't going to before. So yeah, but

1379
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:50,719
Speaker 1: Jessica want, okay, all right, fair enough, I've even forgetting

1380
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 1: the semantics for a second, even though I know we're

1381
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,719
Speaker 1: actually right. They're not actual cuts. I mean, it's slowing

1382
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: the rate of growth. The problem I have with this

1383
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: two is when you read that CBO report about p

1384
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: Belond Medicaid, it's pretty clear about a couple of things.

1385
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Number one, this doesn't happen for four years. And number two,

1386
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: when we talk about Medicaid, can we both agree, just

1387
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,640
Speaker 1: on principle, to be fair to each other, that this

1388
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: is a program designed specifically to help the poor. This

1389
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: was not a program designed to help middle class people

1390
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: get health insurance that they could very well pay for themselves.

1391
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about pre existing conditions. I'm talking about

1392
01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: healthy middle class people. Medicaid was not a program for

1393
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 1: middle class people. So the question I want to post

1394
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: you is slowing the rate of growth of the program,

1395
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,919
Speaker 1: which is what it actually is, is simply Republicans saying, hey, listen,

1396
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,840
Speaker 1: this is a program for the poor. When you have

1397
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: handicap parking spots people. You want people who are legitimately

1398
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 1: handicapped to use them, just like with Medicaid, when we

1399
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 1: start spending money on people making ninety thousand dollars a

1400
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: year to expand Medicaid. I don't understand from a liberals perspective,

1401
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 1: and please explain it to me. Is not I'm not

1402
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: trying to be silly about it. How is that help?

1403
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Well, I mean, I've remembered you

1404
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 1: in so far as I think the Walter said has

1405
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: gotten radically out of control. And that's not just Medicaid, right,

1406
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: that's you know, snap and all sorts of welfare reforms

1407
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,839
Speaker 1: um that people are abusing. I think there's an argument

1408
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 1: to be made to talk about means testing across the board,

1409
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,759
Speaker 1: and that's something where I think, you know, Donald Trump,

1410
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: it was a great populist message right for them to say,

1411
01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 1: I'm not going to cut any entitlements, but the reality

1412
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,680
Speaker 1: of these entitlements are going to go bankrupt if we

1413
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 1: don't do something about it. And you know, look at

1414
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 1: the Simpson Bowls Commission for instance. There are effective ways

1415
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,679
Speaker 1: that we can do this that actually the American people

1416
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: are very fond of I did a poll actually with

1417
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 1: my co author on the book about this a couple

1418
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 1: of years ago, and it showed it was a percent

1419
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:44,559
Speaker 1: of Americans were willing to pay a little bit more

1420
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,479
Speaker 1: in taxes to ensure that those programs were going to

1421
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: be there forever, right, so that you'd actually have social security.

1422
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm a millennial, I don't think I'm gonna get

1423
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 1: anything when all is said and done. Yeah, I don't either.

1424
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 1: I've totally factored that out of my retirement plan completely. Yeah,

1425
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 1: we absolutely have to. Um. So I take your point

1426
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: there with Medicaid. Yeah, I think that we do need

1427
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 1: to have a healthy conversation about who's actually on these programs.

1428
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 1: But we are you know, covering as well, like you know,

1429
01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 1: people in nursing homes who maybe have you know, more

1430
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,640
Speaker 1: money than they should to be in this program, but

1431
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 1: they are disabled in some way. We have a lot

1432
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,280
Speaker 1: of hits on these programs. And that's that's a new thing,

1433
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: right that we have so many children on a Medicaid program. Um.

1434
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:27,640
Speaker 1: I thought, sure, exactly what the way is to fix that?

1435
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 1: But I think that these blunt costs are the just

1436
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 1: blunt flowing, as it were, is concerning and it's not

1437
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: just liberals who feel that way. I mean, they're obviously

1438
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 1: a number of conservatives who agree with that. And I

1439
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 1: don't know you you're right. The Wall Street Journal had

1440
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:42,599
Speaker 1: an uped the other day called the republic Aid Party

1441
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: talking about exactly that, Republican senators who don't want to

1442
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: make the hard decisions in their states because they have

1443
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 1: a heavily dependent medicaid population. But but I guess my

1444
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 1: point is, and you can answer our I wanted to

1445
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: move on to another anglist. But the point I'm trying

1446
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: to make is that doesn't make the problem go away.

1447
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: We're in nineteen trillion dollars of debt. We simply do

1448
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 1: not have the tax base to support, you know, robbing

1449
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 1: Peter to give to Paul. If Paul's a middle class

1450
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:12,759
Speaker 1: guy who just doesn't want to pay for his insurance,

1451
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm just gonna take Medicaid. I make seventy

1452
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: thousand a year. Somebody had to pay for that. You know.

1453
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: It reminds me of the Milton Friedman line where he said,

1454
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, the big joke about government spending is you

1455
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 1: think your neighbors paying for it, But your neighbors saying

1456
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 1: the same thing. I mean there's no money fair, you know,

1457
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: like we all have to accept that reality. Yeah, no,

1458
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean we're definitely do and I really all about that.

1459
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 1: I do think that a tremendous amount of this. There's

1460
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: a problem with the dialogue that both guys are having.

1461
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: Democrats have done an excellent job of framing Republicans as evil, right,

1462
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 1: like they're going to throw a granny off the cliss

1463
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: if they're running that in now they're running it again.

1464
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: They why ruin a good thing? Right? Um? And he's

1465
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 1: done a great job saying that we're all a bunch

1466
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 1: of socialists. Then Bernie Sanders speaks for all of us

1467
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: when we know that that's not true as well. You

1468
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,839
Speaker 1: were in a Sanders supporter, right you were. I really

1469
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: have strong problems with Bernie Handers, very strong. No, Like

1470
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: I said, that's why I wanted to have you on.

1471
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: I think you know you defend your position well all right.

1472
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: I wanted to hit this angle of Obamacare too, And

1473
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 1: this is what frustrates me too. I think we have

1474
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: some reasonable points on Medicaid. It's a program for the poor. Fine,

1475
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: we should have a conversation about where American the body

1476
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 1: politic is that's okay, But saying that it's a program

1477
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 1: for people make ninety grand a year, it's just you know,

1478
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: that's not being genuine. But it depends where they are. Also,

1479
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean this is you know, if you're in New

1480
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: York City and you're earning ninety grandy arny of a family,

1481
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 1: I understand why you're on Medicaid. If you're in the

1482
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: country you mean Jessica seriously though, and a seriously I think,

1483
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 1: how are you going to sell that to a coal

1484
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:45,599
Speaker 1: miner in West Virginia who may make fun He's like, hey, boo,

1485
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:47,680
Speaker 1: who I believe I lived in New York. Believe me.

1486
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 1: I love New Yorkers. I'm in Florida now. But it's

1487
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: kind of like they don't want to hear it, you

1488
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying, Like they're like, Okay, great, you

1489
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:55,799
Speaker 1: make nine d k New York, moved to West Virginia.

1490
01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: You know, well what happened the let Yeah, the exactly

1491
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:03,439
Speaker 1: good point. Well, what other angle I wanted to hit

1492
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: on this is Obamacare. So we know the problem with

1493
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:09,799
Speaker 1: it is from a pure economics perspective, trying to remove

1494
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 1: the politics, it always creates a toxicity. Community rating and

1495
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 1: guaranteed issue. Just simply the idea that the government can

1496
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 1: put price caps on what people can be charged for

1497
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 1: their insurance ignores the fact that there are people who

1498
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 1: are just more expensive. I mean, so that what's happening

1499
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: now is you have a guy like I always use

1500
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 1: the analogy of a motorcycle with carr in shoes. Do

1501
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 1: you have a guy drives a motorcycle, blows through stop signs,

1502
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: never obeys the speed limit, he's paying the same government

1503
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 1: enforced premium, or roughly as you know Grandma who drives

1504
01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: a Honda Civic and stops at every stop sign, and

1505
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 1: those costs don't go anywhere. I mean, what are we

1506
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: going to have a responsible conversation about that? And it

1507
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 1: seems like Republicans and Democrats don't want it to go anywhere. No.

1508
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: I I totally agree with you, Ivan. I think that's

1509
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 1: the single biggest problem played in Washington and then by extension,

1510
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 1: the country, that no one is willing to have a

1511
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: dialogue about this. I do you know Mercedes last Mercedes

1512
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 1: and I have a weekly segment together on Mondays and

1513
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 1: we talk about this stuff all the time. You know,

1514
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 1: why are we not having conversations a about the works

1515
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 1: that Democrats and Republicans are doing together. Because there are

1516
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: some instances like the sanctions on Russia, for instance, Right

1517
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: that half like, there are things that we can agree on,

1518
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: But why aren't isn't the heart stuff when the idea

1519
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:32,559
Speaker 1: at core Republicans and Democrats both want everybody to have

1520
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: affordable quality health insurance. Right? What about this proposal? Let

1521
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 1: me throw something out of you because it ran Paul's

1522
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: put this out there and I've been talking about it

1523
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 1: for a long time, not trying to claim credit. I

1524
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: found out the other day D. Paul had this in

1525
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,559
Speaker 1: his bill. But he has a great idea. Why won't

1526
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: Democrats get behind a bill and let's say this. Let's

1527
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,799
Speaker 1: say we give doctors in hospitals a full tax credit

1528
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: for all the volunteer care they want to give. They

1529
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: want to take in a hundred two hundred people who

1530
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,599
Speaker 1: can afford a high, high cost proceeds. It's an orthopedic surgeon.

1531
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 1: Would would you, as a liberal get behind something like that?

1532
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Even if and here's where it gets tough for you.

1533
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: I don't mean this in a negative way, but I

1534
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 1: know liberals are into the fair share thing. But even

1535
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: if it meant doctors and hospitals could almost zero out

1536
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 1: their tax bill. I only would have to see the details.

1537
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 1: I personally don't think Grampaul's towns all that crazy. Usually,

1538
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: especially these days, that's actually more sane in the see

1539
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,440
Speaker 1: of what's going on. So I think that a conversation

1540
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:31,640
Speaker 1: about that could work. I think the idea of block grants,

1541
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,600
Speaker 1: not necessarily Medicaid block grants, um, but block grants to

1542
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:38,600
Speaker 1: doctors and hospitals makes a lot of sense easily. The

1543
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: fact that we know that people who don't have interns

1544
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 1: were showing up anyway, right, It's not as if like

1545
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 1: you saw your arm off and because you don't have

1546
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 1: insured your knocolate at the hospital, listen, I gotta run.

1547
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to know. I get it. But

1548
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 1: the only problem I have with that is then the

1549
01:17:50,439 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: government passes like in other words, the doctors are paying

1550
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: the taxes to get the tax money back. I guess

1551
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 1: my take is, why not just let them keep their

1552
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: own tax money if they can, you know, give out

1553
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,960
Speaker 1: volunt terry care. I I to me, it doesn't seem

1554
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: sensible to send it through the bureau with all of

1555
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: us when we give the tax cusses. You just don't

1556
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: know what people are gonna do with that money. I mean,

1557
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: Republicans like to say they're going to give it back, right,

1558
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,560
Speaker 1: and they're going to contribute to society and be philanthropic,

1559
01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: and you provide that great free care. But liberals are

1560
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 1: a little more technical and they want to make sure

1561
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: that we have those protections still. So I think that's

1562
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: where the well, Jessica, thank you for coming on. You

1563
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: always do a great really appreciate it. You got it.

1564
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot. That was Jessica guitar Off, author of

1565
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 1: the book America in the Age of Trump. Go pick

1566
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: it up. I'm Dan Bungino at the Bungino on Twitter.

1567
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:37,560
Speaker 1: Will be right back, all right, welcome back to the

1568
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: Seawan had Didy showed Dan Bongino, contributing editor of a

1569
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,679
Speaker 1: Conservative review at the Bungino on Twitter, filling in for Sean.

1570
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 1: Thank you for the opportunity. I always appreciate it. Excuse me, Hey, yeah,

1571
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, I want to take this opportunity for the

1572
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 1: break here, to to just make a quick plea here.

1573
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: You know, Sean has a big audience and folks, it's

1574
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,120
Speaker 1: time to go for it. Man. I mean to go

1575
01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 1: for it. I've said this before, I've said it on

1576
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: my social media. I've been clamoring for it for months.

1577
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,400
Speaker 1: The Democrats, the Trump administration. The Democrats have shown their

1578
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,680
Speaker 1: true colors to people. Not all I'm not gonna do

1579
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: what they do to us, but a large majority, especially

1580
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:11,720
Speaker 1: the far left wing of the party, has shown their

1581
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 1: true colors. They do not want to fix Obamacare, despite

1582
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: it being a neutron bomb on our health care system.

1583
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: They don't want to do anything about voter fraud. See

1584
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Chris Kobac put out this thing today in this election commission. Hey,

1585
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:24,600
Speaker 1: we're just looking to see if they're dead people on

1586
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: your voter rolls. They're like, no, no thanks, We're happy

1587
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 1: with the walking dead vote. It's good for us. Uh.

1588
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:31,639
Speaker 1: They don't want to do anything. They want to impeache

1589
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: Trump for being involved in an X files conspiracy with

1590
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: Jillian Anderson and David d. Kovany and the Russian cigarette guy.

1591
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's ridiculous. They've shown their true colors. They're

1592
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: not interested in moving the country forward using the dreaded

1593
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,960
Speaker 1: air quotes. They're not interested in fixing anything. They're not

1594
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: interested in fixing the economy. They're not interested in anything. Again,

1595
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about all of them, but I'm talking

1596
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 1: about a large swath of them, and especially the far

1597
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: left activist group and definitely the far left money. They

1598
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 1: don't care. They want to impeach this guy for nothing.

1599
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: It is time to go for it. Go just go,

1600
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:08,520
Speaker 1: take the ball and do a bow Jackson, Brian Bosworth,

1601
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,639
Speaker 1: go for it. What's the problem. You have the Senate,

1602
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,439
Speaker 1: you have the House, you have the presidency. What's the penalty?

1603
01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: What's the You have a once in a lifetime opportunity.

1604
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 1: You also have a good Supreme Court justice in Gorsic.

1605
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 1: Now you have a once in a lifetime opportunity to

1606
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: move the freedom train back in the freedom direction for once.

1607
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Just do the right thing. Have some cajones, man, please God,

1608
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 1: do it now. And I am not using his name

1609
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 1: in vain. Do it now. What happened to the Valley

1610
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: Forde generation? Remember that? Remember they were the founding fathers

1611
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:43,120
Speaker 1: with they You you're not going to do any of that.

1612
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:46,200
Speaker 1: You're going home to your flat screen TVs. Man, you

1613
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: got your cell phones, you got your state dinners. Just

1614
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:51,640
Speaker 1: go for it. Go back to the hill, sit in

1615
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: your office and make it happen, tax cut, school choice,

1616
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 1: get rid of Obamacare. Do it now. They are not

1617
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna be reasonable. Stop trying to negotiate with the other side.

1618
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:03,840
Speaker 1: They're not gonna let you do it. Go for it,

1619
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: throw the football down the field. I'm dan bunget. Don't

1620
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: be right back. Honestly, I'm allowed to have opinions on

1621
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: this show, and one of my opinions was that nepotism

1622
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: is a bad thing in government. It just is you

1623
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: put Uda and Cusa in your government, and you're gonna

1624
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 1: have problem with everybody else in the government because nobody

1625
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: can fight with them, nobody can challenge them. In the end,

1626
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,200
Speaker 1: the son in law is always right because he's always

1627
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna go to his father in law his wife and

1628
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: say they were mean to me. The power seems to

1629
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 1: have going to the son in law. This is the

1630
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,560
Speaker 1: romanoffs just a thought. The romanofs isn't. And then you

1631
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: find out in all these investigations that Jared was opening

1632
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: up a tunnel to Moscow so that he wouldn't have

1633
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: to deal with the State Department. So the son in law,

1634
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, one good thing was that he did was

1635
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 1: execute his son in law. I mean, I know that

1636
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 1: was an extreme measure. But this is this is a

1637
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 1: strange situation. Oh my gosh, does it ever stop with

1638
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: the looney tunes? Left? Is that? Seriously? Does it ever stop?

1639
01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Bunge. You know, wait for Sean Hany if

1640
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: you want to give us a call, by the way,

1641
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine one one, Sean, you want to send

1642
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 1: me a tweet, I'm at the Bongino folks, you know

1643
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm not let me let me get my berries here

1644
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:17,080
Speaker 1: for a second, because I want this to be said

1645
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:23,320
Speaker 1: very appropriately. Okay, we just had a congressman shot in

1646
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 1: the hip and literally within an inch of his life,

1647
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: nearly losing his life, Congressman Steve Scalise and an incident

1648
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: Alexandria Virginia, who was unquestionably targeted because he was a Republican.

1649
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: There was about ten minutes of maybe we should dial

1650
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:42,439
Speaker 1: down the rhetoric on bosost. What are you talking about

1651
01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:48,600
Speaker 1: on both sides? What credible conservative commentator? Don't send me

1652
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: some loony tune in East tune official Ohio who's on

1653
01:22:52,160 --> 01:22:54,960
Speaker 1: blog talk radio with two listeners who said something stupid?

1654
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: What credible person commentator on a on a big cable

1655
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:01,759
Speaker 1: news station, who has the platform. That was Chris Matthews,

1656
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: by the way, and MSNBC comparing Jared Kushner to Day

1657
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: and Kusai Hussain of the Sodom Hussains of the Iraqi Hussains.

1658
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 1: But those of you who missed that, who's doing this?

1659
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:21,719
Speaker 1: Where is this a systemic problem on the right? Where, folks,

1660
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 1: this is insane? The left owns this. The left owns

1661
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 1: it because and here's here's my theory on this, by

1662
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: the way, and I'm gonna get the couple of your

1663
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: calls on a minut again eight se three two six.

1664
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: Here's my theory on this. When you're a leftist, all

1665
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:40,559
Speaker 1: you have, I mean a far leftist. I'm not talking

1666
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: about moderate Democrats. When you're an active liberal, a far

1667
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 1: left activist, you all you have is government. You are

1668
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 1: in love with the power of the state. The power

1669
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 1: of the state is everything to you. You don't believe

1670
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 1: in big all rights. You believe in little our rights,

1671
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:57,719
Speaker 1: and those little our rights are given you by the state.

1672
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: The state is the all power, all power powerfully, all

1673
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: knowing me, you, all thinking. The state is everything to you.

1674
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 1: When you lose the power of the state, like losing

1675
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 1: an election, to Donald Trump, you have nothing. You have

1676
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: nothing to fall back on but emotion, but anger, but rage,

1677
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:19,759
Speaker 1: but disappointment, but ridiculous analogies like comparing Jared Kushner to Oude,

1678
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: who's saying you have nothing left. Matthews a die hard lib,

1679
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 1: die in the wool lib. He believes in the all

1680
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: powerful beneil genuflect before the power of government, the state

1681
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: was it? Napoleon thought, I'm not really I don't speak

1682
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: French very well, but he said, I am the state.

1683
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 1: What Chris Matthew says? What they They are the state,

1684
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:47,719
Speaker 1: That's all they are. They have nothing else. But why

1685
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 1: don't conservatives respond the same way? Think about this? Think

1686
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: about this for a second. Processes, especially liberals listening. I

1687
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:56,640
Speaker 1: know Sean has liberals who listened to the show. What

1688
01:24:56,720 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: are we as conservatives believe in? We believe in big

1689
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,200
Speaker 1: all rights, big all rights given to us by God.

1690
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: We believe in freedom and liberty and the power of

1691
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,560
Speaker 1: the individual. We believe the state is just an intermediary

1692
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 1: that only protects rights given to us by someone else.

1693
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 1: We do not believe the state gives us anything. We

1694
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 1: give the state money to protect rights we already had.

1695
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the States squat. I don't genuflect before it,

1696
01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't worship it. A matter of fact, I'm nothing

1697
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,400
Speaker 1: but disappointed in it. Half the more than half the

1698
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: time outside of our military, in our court system, is

1699
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 1: not much the state does right anymore. So when we

1700
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: lose elections, it's disappointing. There's no question we were really

1701
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: p oed and we lost to Obama. But we don't

1702
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: lose our marbles. We don't start the Jared Kushner. I mean,

1703
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 1: can you imagine if someone would have said, like Malia

1704
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 1: Obama was like day, who's saying, oh my gosh, rightfully,

1705
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:53,799
Speaker 1: so you'd probably be kicked off the air, folks. Liberals

1706
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: have lost their minds. Now, I have another sound clip

1707
01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: Jason cub for me. That Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic one.

1708
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: This guy's the editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine. Now,

1709
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: just to show you again the total double standard, how

1710
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 1: liberals they're losing their minds because they've lost the power

1711
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: of the state. This guy is speaking at a meeting.

1712
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: This guy's the editor in chief of the Atlantic, which

1713
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:17,719
Speaker 1: is a left leaning magazine, and he's talking about who

1714
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna blame if something happens to the press. Listen,

1715
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna blow you right. Play that cup. The problem is,

1716
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: and this is what I what I worry about more

1717
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,599
Speaker 1: than anything else, is that is that there are people

1718
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 1: in the country who don't understand that that this is

1719
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:34,600
Speaker 1: a cynical reality TV game, um, and are going to

1720
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: hear over and over again from the President that the

1721
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 1: reporters journalists are enemies of the state, and someone, I mean,

1722
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:45,679
Speaker 1: God forbid, but someone is going to do something violent

1723
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:49,759
Speaker 1: against journalists in in in a large way. And then

1724
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 1: I know where the fault lies. Uh what now? Listen,

1725
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:03,360
Speaker 1: My conscience is clear on this. After the horrible incident

1726
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 1: at the baseball field, the shooting of Steve Scalize by

1727
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 1: the maniac Bernie Sanders supporter, I don't know of any

1728
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: again credible Conservatives and Republicans who went out there and

1729
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:15,679
Speaker 1: suggested that Bernie Sanders should be arrested. His at fault. Listen.

1730
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 1: I think Bernie Sanders says dumb stuff just about every

1731
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: ten minutes. The guy's a socialist that says everything in

1732
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 1: and of itself. I mean, to be a socialist is

1733
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: to be in a buffoon. I mean, you can't pull

1734
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: it really is. Socialism is violence. But nobody is saying

1735
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is responsible for the act of a maniac.

1736
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: Nobody's saying that. Yet they engage the left in this

1737
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,559
Speaker 1: crazy rhetoric all the time. So let me get this straight.

1738
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 1: Guilt by association is a real thing for Republicans. Donald

1739
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:47,720
Speaker 1: Trump is not a big fan of the press. The

1740
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 1: press hates him, goes after him violently every single day,

1741
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 1: using the nastiest rhetoric, calling him a Russian spy and everything.

1742
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 1: Trump fights back, and all of a sudden, if some

1743
01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,759
Speaker 1: wacko who would have you know, who's just a maniac

1744
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: something against the press, God forbid, then Donald Trump is

1745
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 1: responsible preemptively. Yet yet you actually had a Bernie Sanders

1746
01:28:09,040 --> 01:28:12,240
Speaker 1: reporter try to kill members of Congress, and you have

1747
01:28:12,360 --> 01:28:15,479
Speaker 1: conservatives saying, listen, I don't like Bernie, but this guy's

1748
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: a maniac. It's on him, folks, this is crazy. We

1749
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 1: live in like wacko bizarro superman land, and I can't

1750
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: encourage you like this. Jeffrey Jeffrey Goldberg, guy from the Atlantic,

1751
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 1: and strong enough terms to sincerely reevaluate what you believe,

1752
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 1: because you know what turnabout is not fair play. On

1753
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: this one, I am not as a conservative who believes

1754
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: in the power of God. First, I am never going

1755
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:40,120
Speaker 1: to blame someone. I mean, if listen, you call for

1756
01:28:40,240 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: violence like Black Lives Matter with the pigs and a

1757
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: blanket from like Bacon, that's different. That's actually calling for violence.

1758
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 1: But I am never going to pin violence on the

1759
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 1: act of political talk, no matter how disgusting the political

1760
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: talk is. If it's not a direct incitement, okay, But

1761
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,719
Speaker 1: they do it to us all the time. The rules

1762
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 1: just don't apply. And you wonder why there's been this

1763
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 1: mass rebellion of people, working class folks against the Democratic

1764
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 1: Party that doesn't think they represent them anymore. You've called

1765
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:15,080
Speaker 1: us racist, misogynist, homophobes, phobophobes, anything with an is foe,

1766
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: whatever it is, you've called us that for years. You

1767
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,960
Speaker 1: attack us at every opportunity. You have groups out there

1768
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 1: literally calling for violence against Conservatives and people out there.

1769
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:26,759
Speaker 1: You have other groups insinuating it. You have people rilling

1770
01:29:26,840 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: up the Bay Republicans hate your Republicans are stealing your money.

1771
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Republicans are killing your grandmother, your puppy, They're poisoning your cat. Ah.

1772
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about the sound effects I'm just it's a

1773
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 1: family friendly showing. I feel like I might go on

1774
01:29:45,040 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 1: any longer, I'm gonna get into the FCC trouble. I'm

1775
01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:50,720
Speaker 1: really p ooed about this because we are always the

1776
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:56,040
Speaker 1: responsible ones on this always. It wasn't Bernie, although heays

1777
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 1: a wacko he was. It's not Bernie's for the guy

1778
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 1: who's not the guy was crazy and this guy preemptively

1779
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 1: from the nothing's even happened that he's already blaming Trump.

1780
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 1: Fool fool hashtag fool Twitter. All right, I gotta take

1781
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:14,479
Speaker 1: a call if you want to ge us. Two six.

1782
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:16,960
Speaker 1: Let's take Kathleen from Iowa has been holding a while.

1783
01:30:17,040 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. What about Wayne from Nashville? How are you? Yeah? Hey,

1784
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm good. How are you? How's Nashville doing great? Hey?

1785
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:30,720
Speaker 1: Nashville is awesome. Hey, wait, hold on before you go.

1786
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm as a guy from Florida and previously Maryland and

1787
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:37,240
Speaker 1: New York too. I heard for a little bird whispered

1788
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:40,000
Speaker 1: him year that Nashville is like a really banging city.

1789
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 1: It's a cool place to be. Is this true? Can

1790
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:45,200
Speaker 1: you confirm it for us? Oh? Absolutely confirm it. I

1791
01:30:45,200 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 1: actually I'm just coming back from working down in central Florida,

1792
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm heading back home right now. It is

1793
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 1: lit up. We got like or eight big cranes swinging

1794
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 1: material downtown. It is booming. Yeah, I swear. A couple

1795
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:00,479
Speaker 1: of friends of mine who were there, they said, this

1796
01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:02,559
Speaker 1: is this is a hidden gem. It's not really hidden.

1797
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 1: It's Nashville. But they said, this play is amazing. You

1798
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:09,639
Speaker 1: gotta check it out. Some nice balanced season. That's great. Cool.

1799
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 1: So what do you got for us today? So well,

1800
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 1: you're doing a good job in the bullpen there, Dan,

1801
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 1: You know, I see it's a challenge here with um

1802
01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 1: all of these lifetime politicians. It seems like that, you know,

1803
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 1: they've got this left wing liberal media in their pocket.

1804
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 1: They've got you know, they live for the sound bites,

1805
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 1: and they're so concerned about keeping you. I mean, you

1806
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 1: just nail that when you said the power. It is

1807
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 1: the power. It's all about the power. They're only concerned

1808
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 1: about staying in office. And I really think until we

1809
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 1: do something about some term limits and make it like

1810
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:48,719
Speaker 1: it used to, I mean, go to work for two years,

1811
01:31:48,800 --> 01:31:51,680
Speaker 1: four years, six years, get something done forget about this

1812
01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: August five, six seven week vacation you know, let's go

1813
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: up there, let's go to work and then go back

1814
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 1: home to your job or your business and go back

1815
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 1: to doing what you were doing before you were elected

1816
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:07,560
Speaker 1: as an official, and knock off with these lifetimes retirement

1817
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:13,120
Speaker 1: plans that uh taxpayer, taxpayer funded, by the way. You know. Wait,

1818
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad. That's why I wanted to take your call.

1819
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought this up because this comes up

1820
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,679
Speaker 1: a lot term limits. It's obviously a very popular topic

1821
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 1: for obvious reasons. A lot of people feel the same

1822
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:23,880
Speaker 1: way you do. And I go back and forth on this,

1823
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm starting to tilt in the other direction. I know

1824
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:28,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna surprise a lot of people because I'm a

1825
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 1: conservative conservatorian. But here's the problem with term limits when

1826
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 1: you look at the actual data. The problem with term

1827
01:32:35,880 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 1: limits is you may term limits someone, let's say from Congress, right,

1828
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:42,120
Speaker 1: so you just let's say we did three three terms,

1829
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:44,800
Speaker 1: so six years and two terms that the Senate twelve years.

1830
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 1: When you look at the actual research on term limits,

1831
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 1: it does very little. Here's some research I saw, and

1832
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:52,400
Speaker 1: forgive me, I don't remember. I think it's from the

1833
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation, but I could be wrong. The research was

1834
01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 1: shocking to me. Wade it states that have term limits, um,

1835
01:32:58,840 --> 01:33:02,160
Speaker 1: you know within individual state, they they have shown no

1836
01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:06,559
Speaker 1: budget constraint. There's no tangible record of you know, the

1837
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:10,880
Speaker 1: tax cuts, budget contraints, spending control anything. Because what winds

1838
01:33:10,960 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 1: up happening is you have a guy Wayne, Let's say

1839
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:15,599
Speaker 1: he's limited to three terms in Congress. So what does

1840
01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 1: he do. He starts out in the state Assembly, he

1841
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 1: does two terms there, he's there eight years, then he

1842
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:22,920
Speaker 1: spends six years in Congress. Were like, all right, we

1843
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 1: term limit that is, he runs for Senate, then he

1844
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 1: spends twelve years there, then he comes back and runs

1845
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 1: for governor. So the thing is, I get it. I

1846
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:36,240
Speaker 1: I see the emotional appeal behind term limits, but as conservatives,

1847
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 1: we should be interested in the actual data and what

1848
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 1: other data point on term limits too. That has me

1849
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:43,760
Speaker 1: kind of fuzzy on this lately. Is it winds up

1850
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:47,040
Speaker 1: empowering the bureaucracy, which, in my opinion or even more

1851
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,400
Speaker 1: dangerous than the elected officials. You know what you call

1852
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 1: it whatever you want, the deep state, the bureaucracy. Because

1853
01:33:52,280 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 1: one of the researchers pointed out that when you're constantly

1854
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 1: rolling over new faces that are elected, who are the

1855
01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:01,800
Speaker 1: only people who know how to move bills and how

1856
01:34:01,840 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 1: to grease the skids, the staffers and the bureaucrats, so

1857
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: they wind up taking over the whole system. So I'm

1858
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:10,639
Speaker 1: not saying, you know, I'm a negative on term limits,

1859
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 1: but I think we have to look at it with

1860
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: an open mind and say, maybe a better idea, Wayne

1861
01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 1: would be cutting congressional districts in half. You know, right

1862
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 1: now they represent seven hundred thousand people. How about we

1863
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:24,240
Speaker 1: cut that the three fifty and double the size of Congress.

1864
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 1: And here's another plus, how about we start moving all

1865
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:29,439
Speaker 1: the d C offices that are in d C. Now,

1866
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:31,560
Speaker 1: how about we start moving them around the country. We

1867
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:34,960
Speaker 1: have telecommuting, now, we have uh, you know, online meetings.

1868
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:36,600
Speaker 1: Why does everybody have to be in Washington, d C.

1869
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,160
Speaker 1: Let let someone go sit in Nebraska and Nashville and

1870
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 1: see how real people live. Why do you get to

1871
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,360
Speaker 1: live in DC all the time with with the wealthy elite.

1872
01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,920
Speaker 1: You know, I agree, I agree, But how do so

1873
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 1: then how do we come back like you know, I mean,

1874
01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta you guys, these guys like Chuck

1875
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:55,559
Speaker 1: Schumer and Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi. They they love

1876
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 1: fearmongering and throwing this stuff up there, and it seems

1877
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:02,240
Speaker 1: like we a the right are silent, like we let

1878
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:06,920
Speaker 1: them do this obomit of lies out there. Well, and yeah, Wayne,

1879
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:08,960
Speaker 1: unfortunately gotta run up agains a hard break. But I'll

1880
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: tell you what. On the other side of the break,

1881
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:13,000
Speaker 1: I'll answer your question. I'll just give you a brief

1882
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:16,720
Speaker 1: kind of summation. Now, how do we fight back? We

1883
01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:19,120
Speaker 1: have to stop talking about the Laugher curve inside of

1884
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:22,200
Speaker 1: a methodon clinic. Okay, the Republicans have never figured out

1885
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:24,679
Speaker 1: how to talk to normal struggling people in a way

1886
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 1: that doesn't involve some kind of complex economics. We have

1887
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: to learn to stick it on a wheaties box. If

1888
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,480
Speaker 1: you can't read it on a wheaties box, you're explaining

1889
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:34,719
Speaker 1: and you're losing. We have to learn to talk better

1890
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:37,680
Speaker 1: to regular, normal working people. All Right, folks, I'm Dan
