14
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: going to cover a lot of ground today on the show.

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: We will get into the endless hearing today. I mean,

16
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: it was just went on and on. We'll get into that, uh,

17
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: and I'll give you the most important takeaways from it. Also,

18
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: the possibility it was reported last night that it was

19
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: happening where it was likely to happen. I'm not so sure,

20
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: but the possibility of a an investigation, even a special

21
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: council appointment for the investigation of the uranium one deal.

22
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: We'll also get Andy McCarthy to weigh in on that one.

23
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: He was assistant U S Attorney here in New York.

24
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: That was some very very big cases prosecuted, the blind

25
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Shake involved in the First World Trade set are bombing,

26
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: for example. So and he really knows his stuff and

27
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: is a very astute analyst of these matters. Then we

28
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: will also discuss the the back and forth between Trump

29
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: Junior and Wiki leaks, which it wasn't really back and forth.

30
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say, um, and I mean

31
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: it was, it was, but it was pretty pretty quick.

32
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: He shared the tweets. Um. And I'll give you my

33
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: sense of what's real with that and what's not if

34
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: I have time. Also a little bit of a wrap

35
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: up on Trump's trip to Asia and what we can

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: take from all of that and ever else comes. Alright,

37
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: Third hour, we'll have some fun. I've got some interesting

38
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: Well we're gonna talk about some very serious stuff in

39
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: terms of sexual Rashman allegations. But then I'll tell you

40
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: about the the docks and and I know docks in

41
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: Part two that's coming up today too. For those of

42
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: you who in case in case you cared, I've got

43
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: to follow up to that story. Um. But in the meantime,

44
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: I knew that I was gonna have to watch it.

45
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: This is one of those times when as a media person,

46
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: somebody who makes a living as an analyst of the

47
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: news and what's happening in this country and around the world,

48
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: I had to watch this Jeff Sessions House Judiciary Committee

49
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: testimony today, or at least as I mean, I watched

50
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: a lot of it. At some point I was like,

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: I gotta go get a sandwich or something obviously gluten

52
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: free bread. Um, but at some point I gotta tap out.

53
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: I can't do this right. Just the same thing, you

54
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: got these congressmen, and you know, especially you got all this,

55
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: you're you're reminded of how look, I'm just gonna keep

56
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: it real, You're reminded of how unimpressive a lot of

57
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: members of Congress are when you see these hearings. You

58
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: need a lot of guys who are like, you know,

59
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: you know this this is you know, Russia inclusion, and

60
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: and you know, you're just I can't believe these people

61
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: are people are making decisions that affect the most powerful

62
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: nation the history of the world. Three million people and counting,

63
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: and we got these clowns down there. I'm look, it's

64
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the truth. I'm not saying all of them, but some

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: of them. You see it, and it's hard not to

66
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: think yourself, you know, Wow, we gotta do a better

67
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: job picking our members of Congress. Um more true on

68
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: their side than our side. But let's be honest, everybody

69
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: also a little true on our side. Also, we we

70
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: we could, we could up the game a little bit.

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: We could bring just the A game we gotta. We

72
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: got a lot of a lot of bees and b

73
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: pluses in Congress, even on the Republican side. At I

74
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: know some of your yelling, you're like, Paul Riot is

75
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: a C A C minus at best, um, which maybe

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: that's true. But we're watching this today and you can see,

77
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you hear what the narrative is. You you

78
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: know what's coming that they want to just use this.

79
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: They create a news cycle by asking the same questions

80
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: as though this is advancing the story or as though

81
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: this is bringing new information to light. The whole purpose

82
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: of today's hearing for the Democrats was let's ask Jeff Sessions,

83
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: who is hated by the left, and I don't remind you,

84
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: because I know a lot of people are down on Sessions,

85
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: and I've said I don't think he's enough of a

86
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: street brawler. I think he has not I don't think

87
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: he really understood. I think he's an honorable guy. I

88
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: don't think he really understood what he was getting the

89
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: middle of by becoming the attorney general for this administration.

90
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, this was not hey, you know, why don't

91
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: you come join the the fencing club after school. This

92
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, we're meeting at this dirt patch in

93
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: the abandoned alleyway and everyone's bringing lead pipes. That's what

94
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions was getting into this administration. I'm not sure

95
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: he really he really understood that. But I think he's

96
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: a pretty I think he's a pretty good guy. And

97
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: I would also add that Sessions is so hated by

98
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: the left that there has to be something. There has

99
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: to be plenty of good stuff about him. I mean,

100
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: they despised this individual so thoroughly that it is it

101
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: is a badge of honor. I mean he must be

102
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, he's good when they hate him that much. So,

103
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: and he's always a pretty you know, off spoken guy

104
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: and seems fair minded and uh and arctic, a litt

105
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: and reasonable. Uh. There was well here's here's the main takeaway.

106
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: That they want to put him up there to ask

107
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: him a lot of different ways. You know, did you lie?

108
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Did you lie about Russia? Did you you know Russia collusion?

109
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Russia collusion. It's like we're getting the

110
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: same stuff over and over again. It was just quite frankly,

111
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: the the hearing could have been any more boring. I mean,

112
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: this made your average day at c SPAN look like

113
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: a party with you know, jello shots and at a

114
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: bouncy castle or something in the back. I mean, this

115
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: was boring as boring could be. But they were, uh,

116
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: they were pushing sessions on the issue of whether he lied.

117
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: That's where they want. You'll notice the only convictions are

118
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: the only allegations of criminal behavior that Democrats can come

119
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: up with, or whether whether it's Papadopoulos. I know he

120
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: played guilty, but you know, who cares what Papadopoulos was

121
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: saying to somebody about Russia. This guy was nothing. I mean,

122
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure, as you know, human being, his mom and

123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: dad love him, but you know what I mean, here

124
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: was nothing in terms of the the campaign, and they've

125
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: got Manifoort on what exactly. I thought maybe with Manaford

126
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: there would be more charges, right, they'd say, oh, look

127
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: at this, Manaford didn't pay taxes on all this money.

128
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: We we've we've got them nailed. Mm hmm. Foreign agent

129
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: registration and and conspiracy to launder money. But was he

130
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: laundering money exactly? This should be pretty straightforward, and so

131
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: far it has not been. Not so much. So then

132
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: that brings us to what they're trying now with with

133
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: with Jeff Sessions, which is that the crime that the

134
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Democrats want to get people on are always process crimes. Democrats,

135
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: because they are statusts and collectivists by nature, have an

136
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: affinity for processes because they oppose individualism, because they're not

137
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: about the merits and responsibilities of the individual as an

138
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,559
Speaker 1: ideological issue, right. They always think of the group of group,

139
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: identity of identity, politics of the collective, of the collective

140
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: good or the collective whatever they want. They are comfortable

141
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: with bureaucracy and process. A lot of government, especially at

142
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: the federal level, is full full of leftists just left

143
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: us all over the place. Preis driving Bernie Sanders loving

144
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: leftists and you're like, wait a second, you work for

145
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Uncle Sam and you're all about Democrats socialism. Yes they are,

146
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: but they are comfortable with process, they're comfortable with bureaucracy,

147
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: and they understand how to use those institutions to their

148
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: advantage in a cultural sense, and yes, in a political

149
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: and legal sense too. So what they're hoping here is

150
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: that they can get the Attorney General Jeff Sessions to

151
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: admit that he lied, to say that he's a liar,

152
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: to undermine his credibility, and Jeff Sessions just wasn't having

153
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: any of it. It was a form of chaos every

154
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: day from day one, and we traveled, sometimes to several

155
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: places in one day. Sleep was in short supply, and

156
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: I was still a full time senator at a very

157
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: with a very full schedule. I have been asked to

158
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: remember details from a year ago, such as who I

159
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: saw on what day in what meeting, and who said

160
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: what the wind and all of my testimony. I can

161
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: only do my best to answer your questions as I

162
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: understand them and to the best of my memory. But

163
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: I will not accept and reject accusations that I have

164
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: ever lied. Let me be clear, if I have at

165
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: all times conducted myself honorably and in a manner consistent

166
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: with the high standards and responsibilities of the office of

167
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: Attorney General, which I revered. Yeah, he's thrown down there.

168
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: He's not messing around. He said, Look, I'm sick of

169
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: this stuff. And I think I think Sessions has had

170
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: a wake up call everyone, I really do. I know

171
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: that he's been a long time politico and and you know,

172
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: serving as a Senator from Alabama and all this, But

173
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: the Trump situation is just we all know this. The

174
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: Trump administration to be a part of this, it's just different.

175
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: It just is you are jumping into the But he's

176
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: gotta be careful for some reason. I others do this too.

177
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: We see, you know, jumping into the eye of the hurricane.

178
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: Well that's the quiet part, right, that's the chill part.

179
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: So that doesn't make sense. You gotta jump into like

180
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: the the first couple of rings of the of the

181
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: proverbial hurricane. Right, that's where things are crazy. And that's

182
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: what he has that's what he has done by joining

183
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: the the Trump administration and being a senior figure in it. Right,

184
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: you can probably get away with being Trump's Commerce secretary

185
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: without too much ado. But you're not gonna get out

186
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: being the head of the Department of Justice without them

187
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: coming after you. So on the one hand, you know,

188
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: there there were just two narratives today. It was a

189
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: tale of two narratives. You have the Democrats pushing Sessions

190
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: on lies and Russia collusion and nothing new. They brought,

191
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: no knew anything to the discussion. It was just a repetition.

192
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: It was like they were doing a couple of quick

193
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: searches on political the New York Times and the Huffington

194
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: Post to give them their talking points for what to

195
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: They're not asking questions, They're making allegations with an interrogative

196
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: at the end. You know, you talked to Russia and

197
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: did bad things. You know, you're like, wait, is that

198
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: a question? You were colluding with Russia to overturn the election? Yes, yes,

199
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: that is that is what they are doing. They're saying that.

200
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: On the other side, the Republicans also, let's let's be honest,

201
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: using this for a bit of grandstanding. But what are

202
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: they gonna do right, just sit there and let the

203
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: let the Democrats pillary Jeff Sessions. No, they're gonna push back,

204
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: and so what did they do they said, Okay, well,

205
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about something else. Let's talk about what Democrats

206
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: do not want to discuss, which is the possibility of

207
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: an investigation into uranium one and Hillary. I should note

208
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: that on this point of Democrats understanding the grinding machinery

209
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: of bureaucracy and also their willingness to use the law

210
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: as a tool of politics to weaponize prosecutor's offices and

211
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, I think Republicans, not just Jeff Sessions.

212
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: I think Republicans have started to figure out that maybe

213
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: you have to fight fire with fire here, and I

214
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: understand that can feel a bit dangerous and unsettling. I

215
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: understand that that starts to kick at some of the

216
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: load bearing walls of our republic. But we face an

217
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: implacable political opponent here that will do everything and anything

218
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: to not just get their way on an individ dual issue,

219
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: not force Republicans into the middle or more to their side.

220
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: They seek the eradication of conservatism in this country entirely.

221
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: They seek to destroy the conservative movement and to ostracize

222
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: its ideology. That's what we're and if they have to

223
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: lock people up on trumped up charges, whether it's Trump's

224
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: top people or others. They will. They will. So that's

225
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,479
Speaker 1: what we're up against until summer. Saying, maybe just maybe

226
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a Hillary investigation Hillary investigation would

227
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: be a good thing. Play it, sir, Are you recused

228
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: from investigations that involves Secretary Clinton, Mr? Chairman? Uh? It's

229
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: I cannot answer that yes or no, because under the

230
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: policies of the Department of Justice, to announce accusal in

231
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: any investigation would reveal the existence of that investigation. So

232
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: saying is you can't you know, can't fool me if

233
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: I told you I was accusing investigation. You know there's

234
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: an investigation, and I'm not gonna tell you. Now. There's

235
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the possibility therefore that the d o j is already

236
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: keep that in mind because I know a lot of

237
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: people and I may be guilty of this too. A

238
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: lot of people are saying, you know, Sessions not getting

239
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: it done. Trump was very harsh with Sessions for a

240
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: while publicly. But maybe Jeff Sessions has got a surprise

241
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: up his sleeve. Just maybe Jeff Sessions and the Department

242
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: of Justice have seen enough, have gotten enough of a

243
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: of a possibility of a whiff of criminal activity from

244
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation. You're ainy one in all these stories

245
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: that they're saying. Okay, let's uh, let's let's look into

246
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: this and let's not tell anybody about it. Let's not

247
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: do what the Democrats are doing with the Special Counsel

248
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: and turn into a big dog and pony show. Let's

249
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: make this about the facts, and let's wait to go

250
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: public until we have them. Now, now that I don't

251
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: know if that's true, I am extrapolating. I am surmising here,

252
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: maybe even assuming a little bit. But that is certainly

253
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: a possibility. So keep that in mind. Eight four four

254
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: to five, eight four four nine, Buck, what do you

255
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: think about? What do you think abou Jeff Session doing

256
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: a good job? Jeff's Jeff Sessions stay in his role.

257
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: I heard, I read, I didn't hear, but I guess

258
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: maybe I heard it too. I can't remember that some

259
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: are saying Jeff Sessions write in candidate and for Roy

260
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: Moore in Alabama? Right what? Oh McConnell said it, thank you,

261
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: Tyrone mconnell said up, but not in front of cameras. Yeah.

262
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I read it or saw it

263
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: or what. But all right, So that's another interesting thing.

264
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: What do you think about all this? What do you

265
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: think about Jeff Sessions the hearings today? Should there be

266
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: an investigation into Uranian one and Hillary eight four or

267
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: four nine, hund Buck, We will be right back. The

268
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Department of Justice can never be used to retaliate politically

269
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: against opponents and would be wrong. The Obama administration used

270
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: the I R S to retaliate against opponents. We know that.

271
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: I really want to believe that the d J wasn't

272
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: also used. Who believes that? Who believes there wasn't a politicization,

273
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: a profound politicization of the Department of Justice under the

274
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: Obama administration. I'd like to I'd like to have that

275
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: debate with that individual. We've got a lot of lines.

276
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Let let's take some John in Mississippi w b V.

277
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: Hey John, Hey Buck. Enjoy your show. You're not a firebrand.

278
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: You're very reasonable and well smoked. Thank you, sir. Yes, um, yeah,

279
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: So I do think that it would be just grand

280
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: as phillery was investigated for uranium one, if not for

281
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: the fact that there may have been collusion and chicanery

282
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: with regard to that specific topic, but it would open

283
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: up a whole can of worms that needs to be

284
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: opened up. So you just want to see what we

285
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you'd like to see what comes out if

286
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: they start kicking the dirt there. Yeah, I mean that's

287
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: just the tip of the iceberg. And you know, if

288
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: she is, if they are not brought to justice, it

289
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: sends a message that the system just doesn't work at all.

290
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: You know, can they be exempt? Are they royalty? Uh?

291
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: They've been treated that way. But I think it's time

292
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: for that to stop. Yeah. I think so too. I

293
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more facts come out about what

294
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: went on at the Clinton with the Clinton Foundation and

295
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: all of this. And look, you know why not right

296
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: in the federal government they've done didn't they have like

297
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: hearings on steroids and baseball some years ago? Right? I

298
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: mean to come on, right, this is actually worthwhile. We

299
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: should find out. This involves Russia, nuclear fissile material. There's

300
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: important stuff going on here. John, Thank you for calling

301
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: your kind words from Asissippi appreciated. Brent in New Mexico.

302
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: I heart app Hey Brent about chili. Hey, No, uh,

303
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm a personal I like Jeff Sessions. I think you know,

304
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: it's like what you were talking about yesterday. I think

305
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's not going to compromise his conservative values

306
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: to get ahead, you know, the game with the Democrats personally,

307
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: I think that's where he comes from on that. But uh,

308
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: just on a you were mentioning if there was investigations

309
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: going on, and I just want your thoughts on it.

310
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: What don't you think? I mean, I know Trump's the

311
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: head of it. Uh, Sessions runs the department, But that place,

312
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: that place leaks like a sieve. Man, when we have

313
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: already found out about this some way, somehow, somebody would

314
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: have leaked this stuff by now, would you think it

315
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: might be Let's say, Jeff Sessions began a probe and

316
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: he put a couple of his best guys on it,

317
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: so to speak, and and he said, look, we gotta

318
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: keep this super quiet because if if people find out,

319
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to shut this down with political pressure.

320
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: You know, look, I don't know, right, I mean, I'm

321
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,239
Speaker 1: I'm surmising, as I said before, I'm not saying this

322
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: is happening, but I'm saying it is possible, and there's

323
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: some reason to believe. Think about the questions. I mean,

324
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: Congressmen were asking whether this investigation is ongoing, and Sessions

325
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: was saying, I can't talk about it. That's that means

326
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: that it's in the realm of applausible. Wouldn't you agree,

327
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: Brent that there could be something going on or maybe

328
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: Sessions is planning to start an investigation in the next

329
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: few weeks, days, months, Who knows? Oh, yes, sir, I agree.

330
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: It just seems like it, you know, in order for

331
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: that a couple of people, that's a lot of money

332
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: or a lot of resources to go and investigation and

333
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: an investigation like that. Yeah, well we'll see, man, Brent,

334
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: thank you for calling in Shields High Team. We've got

335
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: Andy McCarthy up next on all this d J stuff

336
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: and Russia collusion. Stay with me. We know that former

337
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: FBI Director James Comey misled the American people in the

338
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: Summer six team when he called the Clinton investigation any

339
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: matter obviously investigation. We know FBI Director Comey was drafting

340
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: in his honoration letter before the investigation was complete. We

341
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: know Lauretta Lynch, one day before the Bengazi report came out,

342
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: five days before Secretary Clinton was scheduled to be interviewed

343
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: by the FBI, met with former President Bill Clinton on

344
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: a Tarmac and fee Nicks. I guess my main question is,

345
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: what's it gonna take. If all that not to mention

346
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: the dossier information, what's he gonna take to actually get

347
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: a special counsel? It will take a factual basis that

348
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: meets a standards of the appointment of a special Quite

349
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: a rant. They're quite a rant from Representative Jim Jordan's

350
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: what's it gonna take? What's it gonna take to look

351
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: into the Clinton Foundation? To look into uranium one? And

352
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: you had a short answer there from Jeff Sessions. But

353
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: I can get you a longer and a better one now.

355
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: attorney here in New York City. Bestselling author, National Review

356
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: contributing editor Andy, great of you to make the time.

357
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining my pleasure. So you have a piece

358
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: up that I feel like a lot of people are

359
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: gonna want to hear about. It's up on nash View

360
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: right now. We don't need a special counsel to investigate

361
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation. Now you're not saying that's because there's

362
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: nothing to see there. You're saying they could just do this, right, Andy,

363
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: walk us through. Yeah, that's what the Justice Department is

364
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: there for. Um. You know, I spent twenty years in

365
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: the as you mentioned, in the U. S. Attorney's Office

366
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: in New York. We investigate Republicans, we investigated democrats. Um,

367
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: that's what you have US Attorney's offices for. And I think,

368
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: as much as I'm a fan of Jim Jordan, I

369
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: think in that uh soliloquy you just played, he kind

370
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: of ties up some connections that may not be connected.

371
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: But but leaving that aside, I think his heart's in

372
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: the right place in the sense that he thinks that

373
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation and related events like Uranium one and

374
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 1: the emails and what have you ought to be looked at.

375
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: I agree with that it absolutely should be looked at

376
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: in a serious way. But there's no structural reason why

377
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: the Justice Department can't do that. And you get the

378
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: sense Buck that this is a kind of a tip

379
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: for tat thing, whereas you know, a political argument where

380
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: they're saying, well, the Trump rush At connection got a

381
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: special council in Muller, so why can't we get a

382
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: special counsel for the for the Clinton Russia connection. And

383
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: that's not the way it works. You have a special

384
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: Council when the Justice Department for some reason is conflicted

385
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: out of the case. So in the Trump Russia situation,

386
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: where by the way, I didn't think there should be

387
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: a special counsel in the first place, they didn't have

388
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: crimes to investigate. But let's pretend there's crimes. In that situation.

389
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: You have the administration then in the position of investigating itself.

390
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: So for that reason, you would bring in someone quasi

391
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: independent uh to to take over the investigation. That situation

392
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: doesn't obtain with Mrs Clinton. You have a you know,

393
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: a Republican administration running the Justice Department, and she's a Democrat,

394
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: so you know there's political over tones, but there that

395
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: happens every time there's a political corruption case. There's no

396
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: structural reason some good U. S. Attorney's office can't do

397
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: this investigation. And frankly, I think, you know, judging by

398
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: some reporting that we've had over the last year, for

399
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: all we know, they are doing an investigation, and he

400
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: putting your former prosecutor had on for a second here,

401
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: I've I've heard all the all the arguments that have

402
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: been made today. Well, there was a lot of stuff

403
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: down on Capitol Hill, but also in the media people

404
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: on the one hander saying the whole Clinton Foundation business

405
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: and it really was a business. Uh, it's so shady,

406
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: there has to be stuff there. On the other hand,

407
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: on uranium one specifically, there are those who are saying, look,

408
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: no uranium was exported. Hilary was one of I forget

409
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: a nine or ten member board. The president also could

410
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: have played a role in it. It's not like she

411
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: just was that was the decider on this. And it's

412
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: a it's a whole lot of nothing. What do you

413
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: say to the people that are just jumping right to

414
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: uranium one's a whole lot of nothing. Well, if they

415
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: think if it's a whole lot of nothing, they have

416
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: nothing to be worried about by an investigation. You know

417
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: what you have here, Buck, which is very disturbing is

418
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: a lot of money going into the Clinton Foundation, like right,

419
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean big, big money, even Clinton standards like a

420
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: hundred and forty million I think the last can I saw.

421
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: Plus you have this really raw situation of you know,

422
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton goes to give a can thirty minute speech

423
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: that he's given a million times and given his sleep

424
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: and probably in everybody else's sleep. Uh, and he gets

425
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: to half a million dollars board by Russia. Um, you know,

426
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: through a financial institution into mediary when this decision is

427
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: on the table, and that income is imputed to Mrs

428
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: Clinton because they're married. So UM, you know, if somebody

429
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: came into Mrs Clinton's office while this thing was being

430
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: considered and she was on this committee, and while while

431
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: you're quite right, she's not the only person on the committee,

432
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: the way the committee works is if somebody has a

433
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: strong objection, the transaction generally doesn't get approved. Um. And

434
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: if during that decision making process somebody came in and

435
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: dropped five hundred thousand dollars on her desk and then

436
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: she voted in favor, UM, I think that would raise

437
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 1: a lot of people's suspicions. So the fact that it

438
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: was done through a speech rather than more crassly by

439
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, the money on the desk doesn't mean it's

440
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: not worth investigating. UM. It is an uphill case. It

441
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: is a long time ago, so you have statute of

442
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: limitations problems. And look, the Supreme Court has made political

443
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: corruption cases much more difficult. We're seeing that again and

444
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: again in cases across the country. So I'm the last

445
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: person saying this is a slam dunk, But at the

446
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: same time, I don't see any problem with its being

447
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: looked at, and I think it should be looked at.

448
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: We're speaking to Annie McCarthy of National Review as a

449
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: former assistant U S attorney. You can read his latest

450
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: on National review dot com. And you mentioned political corruption,

451
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: Senator Menendez, his fate hangs in the balance, and last

452
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: I saw it was a jury that could not come

453
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: to a decision. What what can we expect here? What

454
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: do you what are you see going on? That's looking

455
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: like a hung jury to me? I mean, based on

456
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: just reading the accounts of the jurors who got dismissed. Yeah,

457
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: five days of five days of talks for the jury,

458
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: no no decision yet. Yeah, And it looked to me

459
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: just on the left account, I saw a buck. It

460
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: looked like you had people who felt very strongly on

461
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: both sides. And the fact that you and I are

462
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: able to have that conversation means there's a lot of

463
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: public going on about what's going on in the jury

464
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: deliberation room, which is also never a good thing. So

465
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: I hate to hate to see this because there's nothing

466
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: more um frustrating to the system and to have a long,

467
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: complicated trial and have it end in a mistrial and

468
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: and perhaps have to do it all over. Is that

469
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: what do you think would happen here with Would they

470
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: just start the whole thing all over that? That seems

471
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: like it asked me a possibility, right? Yeah? Sure? I

472
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: mean I think you know the case in in Um

473
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: in New York involving corruption where that case got thrown

474
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: out on appeal um. That case had real problems because

475
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: a lot of the transactions were old and they were

476
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: relying on later transactions that had less evidence to kind

477
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: of stitch it all together. And I don't know if

478
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: you could try that case again. What I understand about

479
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: Menendez's cases is pretty you know, there's some pretty strong

480
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: evidence um of payments. Now, I must say I've written

481
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: about this a few times. The Supreme Courts McDonald case,

482
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: named after Bob McDonald, the former governor of Virginia, has

483
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: really made this area very, very difficult, and it becomes

484
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: really tough to prosecute political corruption because you have to

485
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 1: separate out what's a quid pro quel versus what's proper

486
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: lobbying of your congressman and then him acting on it, uh,

487
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: in a way that is normal politics. And you know

488
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: normal politics always has this gray area of you know, you,

489
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: are you doing things because you're getting paid off for you? Well?

490
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: Are your supporters contributing to you because they agree with

491
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: your policy inclination? So it's it's it's become very murky

492
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: to do these cases. Well more for you. And before

493
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: I let you get back to everything you've got going on,

494
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: and that is I saw your tweet about how you

495
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: think that the FISA application as it pertains to the

496
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion investigation should be uh, well, it should

497
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: be redacted as necessary, but publicized so that we have

498
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: a sense as to whether the dossier, the Fusion GPS

499
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele dossier, was the basis for it. I totally agree.

500
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: I just want to know are they holding back on

501
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: that because there's the investigation going on? Do you think

502
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: they'll try to never publicize that. It's it's really tough

503
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: but to understand what's going on there and the way

504
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: I reacted, and the reason I've made this suggestion is

505
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: because we've been hearing from months and months that maybe

506
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: this dossier was used in an improper way to get

507
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: a warrant from the FISA court. And while there are

508
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: some things that like like we just discussed uranium one,

509
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: there are some complicated transactions. Right, this is a simple one.

510
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: They either did it or they didn't write. So you

511
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: look at the FISA application, you find out what did

512
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: they tell the court about the dossier, and then we

513
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: can all move on knowing what happened. So, you know,

514
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: it's a FISA application, so it's classified. And there are

515
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 1: some people who institutionally won't ever ever want a FISA

516
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: application to be unsealed in any way. Um, there are

517
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: some people who are afraid to do this because they're

518
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: afraid they'll be accused of improperly influencing Muller's investigation or

519
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: improperly interfering with it. And then there's also the possibility that,

520
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, there's stuff in that application that, even if

521
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: it's not criminal, is unsavory. And you know, maybe there

522
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: are people in the administration who would rather have the

523
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: political issue of did they present the dossier to the

524
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: five A Court than to disclose what actually is in there.

525
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: They may they may make the calculation that they're better

526
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: off making the argument that there's a witch hunt than

527
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, having really real disclosure. So it's probably one

528
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: of these situations where it's a complicated set of motivations

529
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: that people have. But I still say, let's cut to

530
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: the chase and find out what happened and move on.

531
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: Anye McCarthy of Nashal Review. Everybody follow him at Andrew

532
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: Andrew C. McCarthy on Twitter and to check out his

533
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: latest nah Review dot com. Andy, thank you so much.

534
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: Thanks alright, team rolling into a break here, We've got

535
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: much more coming your way, including a discussion of the discussion,

536
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: a discussion of the whole Wiki leaks to Trump Junior situation.

537
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't you know, they're trying to make a big

538
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: deal of it. I don't think it is a big deal.

539
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: But what's the what's the allegation? What are they trying

540
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: to say? I'll give you that, And also an update

541
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: on the whole RT situation and for an agent registration.

542
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: It's interesting stuff. We'll we'll work through it together. I'll

543
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: be right back. I think we'll hold off on the

544
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: tax talk until tomorrow. In terms of the tax reform agenda,

545
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: I think we can do that right. There's so much

546
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: coverage of it on TV, and I'm always like, I

547
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: know that it's important cause we all pay taxes and yes,

548
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: but it's just not not the most riveting discussion all

549
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: the time. So maybe we'll have a little more on

550
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: on the tax rate and the Trump tax package tomorrow.

551
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: I think Trump is it's gonna be a big announcement, right,

552
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: hasn't made it yet tomorrow, I suppose, because the Trump

553
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: is back. Right, he's back on us soil. He's back

554
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: ordering well done steaks. The only I mean that they

555
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: really the only unforgivable thing about about Donald Trump is

556
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: the fact that he orders well done steaks and and

557
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: and eats them with ketchup. Look, I'm just saying I

558
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: I can't even come up with a rationalization for that.

559
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: It's just no one's perfect. What can I tell you?

560
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: No one's perfect? But Trump is back. We'll talk about

561
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: his his trip to Asia in the next hour. I

562
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: have some thoughts on that for you. I think you'll find. Well,

563
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 1: here's one thing. Let me tell you why our Asia

564
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: policy is doomed to as a country. Never mind the

565
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: specifics of Trump, our our Asia policy is doomed to

566
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: run into contradictions. It's really a policy of contradictions. I

567
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: will tell you why you gotta stay with me, and

568
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: then the next hour I can get into why that is.

569
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: But before I go there, let's talk about this Trump

570
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: Wiki League stuff, right, because this is oh Trump Wiki

571
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: League clue is gonna be so exciting a few things

572
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: about this. It's Donald Trump Jr. Who has gotten his

573
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: stuff brought into this investigation. You know, he has had

574
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: his communications brought into the the Mueller probe, and he

575
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: had a brief exchange with the Wiki Leaks twitter account.

576
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: They reported on this as though it's a big deal,

577
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: all Right's that there was Oh, this must be about

578
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: the Russia collusion. And here's the sum total of what

579
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: his responses were um in the October three This is

580
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: from CNN, So there you go, hashtag resistance. The Wiki

581
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: Leaks twitter account send a message to Trump Junior that says, Hi,

582
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: it'd be great if you guys could comment on push

583
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: this story, and proceeded to link a quote from Hillary

584
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: Clinton suggesting a drone strike against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

585
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: According to messages shared by Trump Jr. Already did that

586
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: earlier today. Trump Junior wrote back, it's amazing what she

587
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: can get away with. Trump Junior then proceeded to enquire

588
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: about a Wednesday league. What's behind this Wednesday league? I

589
00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: keep reading about? He wrote, Uh, that's that's it. And

590
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: then also one other place they write him about or

591
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: there's a thing about his Well, let me make sure

592
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: I get this right here, because I don't want to

593
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: be telling you stuff that's not. Oh yeah, a pack

594
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: run anti Trump site Putin's trump dot org is about

595
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: to launch. The pack is a recycled pro rock war pack.

596
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: We have guessed the passwords see about for who is

597
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: behind it? Any comments? Um? And he writes back off

598
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 1: the record, I don't know who that is, but I'll

599
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: ask around. Thanks. This isn't collusion, everybody. This isn't anything.

00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: It's not it's not this is not anything. Making sure

00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: not giving. He's not throwing a flag on this one.

00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: Not throwing a flag on this There's nothing there. You know,

604
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: somebody could ask me any number of things, Uh, and

605
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,479
Speaker 1: I would respond to them, you know. Yeah, I'll ask

Speaker 1: You're trying to be it's it's a way of being polite. Yeah, sure,

609
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 1: I'll consider that, you know, for the next five years. Sure,

610
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, good luck. Uh, it's just it's nothing. But

611
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: they know that they can hit a few points. They

612
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: can hit a few parts of the of the story

613
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: right up from with a headline Donald Trump Jr. Wiki leaks,

614
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: communication collusion, question mark, And that's all that it takes.

615
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: People read the story, people will be interested in whatever

616
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: it is they're writing about. You look at these responses

617
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: and there's nothing here. There's nothing here. I should also

618
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: note wiki leaks worked with The New York Times and

619
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: The Guardian as a source for made sure for two

620
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: of the biggest publications in the world. So wiki leaks

621
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: has worked within journalism, within the journalism community at the

622
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: highest level. Whether you like wiki leaks or not, whether

623
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: you think it's a a foreign you know, essentially a

624
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: foreign religence operation that is operating under the guys of

625
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: a journalist outfit or not. Look, the truth is the

626
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: New York Times, Washington Post, they published terrible stuff that's

627
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: damaging the US national security. We go up their journalists,

628
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: up their journalists. You know, they don't do it the

629
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: same way that Wiki leaks did, but they were complicit

630
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: in the wiki leaks publications. So I'm not making excuses

631
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: or or coming to a judgment about WikiLeaks one way

632
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: or the other. I'm just saying that Wiki leaks has

633
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: has been involved in very mainstream journalism as well as

634
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: publishing a lot of damaging national security information about the

635
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: United States to hurt the United States. I get that,

636
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: but I understand that New York Times, Washington Post they

637
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: published damaging stuff out the US too. They just say,

638
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: oh no, we're being responsible about it. Bull They publish

639
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: all kinds of nonsense that is harmful, that hurts us,

640
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: that endangers people. So this is is wiki leaks. This

641
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: is there's a whole other debate. Is Wiki leaks a

642
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: an organization that does some journalism too, or is it?

643
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, if Media Matters for America can

644
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: pretend to be a five oh one, C three or

645
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: four or whatever it is when it's just a political

646
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: hit job against conservatism but it's tax exempt, I think

647
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: we can also have a discussion about, Okay, well, what

648
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: is wiki leaks exactly and how should one react to

649
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 1: an approach in this way from Wiki leaks. So we

650
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: will get into some other issues coming up. Let's talk

651
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: about Trump's Asia trip. Stay with calls up to your team.

652
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: I want to take them, and then they will move

653
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: on to our discussion of Trump's Asia trip the after

654
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 1: action report for Trump in the Far East. First, Tom

655
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: in Ohio on w w V A, Hey Tom, Yeah, good,

656
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: definitely book. Uh. First of all, I'm glad that you

657
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: get your phones working good again. You know. I think

658
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: that that is something that needs to be looked into

659
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: because I think the UH phone companies for landlines least

660
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: aren't doing any maintenance at all and UH or very little,

661
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: and I think UH, since it's still a functional system

662
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: and a public utility, I think there needs to be

663
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: a look into that. But anyway, going to Andrew McCarthy

664
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: um his statement about the Jeff Sessions UH not needing

665
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: a special prosecutor because there's no conflict of interest. I

666
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: think there's a definite conflict of interest in the sense

667
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: that if if the if he as the part of

668
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: the Republican Trump administration, goes after Hillary Clinton, it's gonna

669
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: be screened. The Democrats were screaming lobb and hard that

670
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: it's just persecution of her by Republicans and Trump said

671
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to do it and everything else where.

672
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: If if he he appoints special Prosecutor number one, there

673
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: would be uh an arms length distance between uh the

674
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: administration and the prosecutor, which I think is a good thing.

675
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: And then secondly, I really think that Jeff Sessions ought

676
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: to resign and uh run for you know, by right

677
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: in for his old seat, because he, in my mind,

678
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: has been less than enough desirable and in stellar in

679
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: his performance as a you know, as the Attorney general.

680
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: Tom Let's take these in reverse order. You're saying, one,

681
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: Sessions should resign. You want him out. You don't think

682
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job. I don't think he's doing

683
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: a good job. And I think that that you know,

684
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: what do you think about him as a writer in

685
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: for Roy Moore's uh, well, not for a rite in

686
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: other than Roy Moore in Alabama, which McConnell was floating

687
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: out there today. Well, all I'm saying is I think

688
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: that that right now he would serve the Republican Party

689
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: and Conservatism better by assuring his old seat, you know,

690
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: his intact as a vote in that direction, as opposed

691
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: to the possibility of losing it to the Democrats. Yeah,

692
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: and okay, so and you also think that on the

693
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: first point, that there's would be a special prosecutor looking

694
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: into your anyone Hillary and all that stuff, only because

695
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: the the Democrats are going to say, you know, we're

696
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: looking at a former first lady. Now that you know,

697
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: we're not talking about just a regular politician here, and

698
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: we're talking about who's someone who's been, you know, at

699
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: in a limelight and high up in the Democrat Party

700
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: for decades. Yeah, she's super famous and very influential, though

701
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: much less so now than she used to be. Right,

702
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: And all I'm saying is that I think those things

703
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: combined would not do justice in the reverse sense. In

704
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: other words, I think she'd be able to walk. Okay,

705
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: all right, all right, Tom, thank you for calling me

706
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: from Ohio. My friend Evelyn, North Carolina at w p

707
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: T I. Hey, Evelyn, Hi, that's how are you today?

708
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm good, Thank you. Good to hear from you, madam.

709
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: What's on your mind? Well, you know, I know you're

710
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: in New York. I'm in North Carolina. Yesterday, the Young

711
00:40:54,680 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: Republicans Club invited Dr Cork to speak uh at U

712
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: n C University of Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

713
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: And it wasn't political, he wasn't you know. The purpose

714
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: was not to become political. It was to discuss what

715
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: was happening. Uh, you know in Asia and other places

716
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: where President Trump is trying to, you know, have some

717
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 1: compromises done well. Those college students were so disrespectful. They

718
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: had signs gor could go away, Gor could go home.

719
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: And it occurred to me when I was growing up,

720
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: respect teaching started at the home level, and obviously, from

721
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: the way that these college students are acting, it's not happening.

722
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: And I was thinking a good idea would be for

723
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 1: both schools in this country to start at the first

724
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: raise level and just have little sessions about just getting

725
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: along with with others, you know, being a good friend. Yeah,

726
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: it would be nice if they if they taught, if

727
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: they taught manners, honor and responsibility in school. I know

728
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: they do it in some schools, but I don't think

729
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: that's a part of your standard Department of Education approved

730
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: public school curriculum. So I hear you, Evett. Thank you

731
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: so much for calling in. Always good to U have

732
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: have you way in Dr Gorkathergatting Dr Gorka would melt

733
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: all the snowflakes. Though you cannot stop the Gorka. You

734
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: can only hope to contain him, right exactly. I'm not

735
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: worried about Corker. You can handle it. He can addle himself.

736
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: He's good to go. Um So, okay, Trump Asia trip,

737
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: let's get into it. Here. Here is what Trump said

738
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: about it. He's back. Now, here's what he said. I

739
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: think we made a lot of progress just in terms

740
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: of relationship dollars worth of other things. Uh, and I

741
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: think that number is going to be quadrupled very quickly.

742
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,439
Speaker 1: So that's over in trinjion dollars worth of stuff. I think, well,

743
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: we have done a really fantastic Jong has been a

744
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: great trip. It's also been really good in terms of

745
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: realth Korea and getting everybody together. I think the acts

746
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: al all together. China has been excellent, Japan and South

747
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: Korea have been next time. I think that's a very

748
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: important part of the trip. And the other important part

749
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: to me was trade and relationship. So here's the problem

750
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: that's at the heart of a lot of we're trying

751
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: to do when it comes to US policy in Asia.

752
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: Right now, there there are a couple of things that

753
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: that immediately come to my one has to do with

754
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: North Korea, and then the other one has to do

755
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: more just specifically with China. Um So, North Korea is

756
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: the biggest national security threat we're dealing with in East

757
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: Asia right now. Long term, China is going to be

758
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: a very very big problem for us most likely. Who knows.

759
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: Right in twenty year there was a time and I

760
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: in fact remember some movies and there was some literature.

761
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: There's even a Michael Kreighton novel called Rising Sun that

762
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: was really a part of this panic that Japan in

763
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: the eighties and the nineties was going to just economically

764
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: way outpace us and that the Japanese were essentially gonna

765
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: own huge parts of America and there's nothing we could do.

766
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: And then there was all this this fear, and then

767
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: Japan had its demographic it's demographic slowdown and has had

768
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: very slow growth at all, all kinds of problems. Japan's

769
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: had all kinds of problems. Um So that now should

770
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: be kept in mind. We're thinking about China and what

771
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: the next steps will be in the future decades. Online

772
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: with China, we we just don't know. One can see

773
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: the future, and don't believe anyone who says they can. Um. So,

774
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: the problem of the North Korea is that we want

775
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: something different. Everyone keeps saying China used China's leverage. We

776
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: want a different end state for North Korea than the

777
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: Chinese do, and so there's only so much pressure we

778
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: can apply to China, and there's only so much pressure

779
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: China is willing to apply to North Korea. The only

780
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,240
Speaker 1: way the North Korean nuclear missile threat goes away, as

781
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: I see it is an implosion of the regime. Not

782
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: explosions from the sky, but implosion from within the imperial

783
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: palace so to speak. Right, this has to be a

784
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: regime change, and that's a nice way of saying probably

785
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: a coup and Kim Jong un, I don't know what

786
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: happens to him, but he's not in charge anymore. That

787
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: much would have to be clear. And for that to occur,

788
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: there would be the likelihood of a massive of migrant

789
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: surge towards immigrant search towards China from North Korea. They

790
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: would have a refuge crisis on their hands. On top

791
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: of that, if North and South Korea were united with

792
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: a South Korean style, I mean, no one really knows

793
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: what this would look like because it's so far away.

794
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: So I this is in a sense, you know, this

795
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: is looking at at a future scenario that is so

796
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: many steps down the line, is very very difficult to

797
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: know what's realistic and what's not. But if there were,

798
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: if if if the Kim regime fell in North Korea,

799
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: you'd have a massive refugee crisis for China. And the

800
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: border between China North Korea, there's plenty of way people

801
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: get across, and there's a lot of Korean speakers on

802
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: the Chinese side of that border, and it's just not

803
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: not something where they could completely seal it off. It

804
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: just wouldn't work, and they would have a humanitarian crisis

805
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: on their hands as well as everything else. And then

806
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: you have they don't want South Korea to be the

807
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: the the Korea as in a pro US Western democracy

808
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: that's incredibly prosperous, that has a lot of economic freedom

809
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: and in which we could uh in which we could

810
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: um put missiles, put military more. We already have military

811
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: forces there, but we could, but even more so that

812
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: that's just an unacceptable state of firs. So the only

813
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:28,959
Speaker 1: thing that I think we can do are the only

814
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: scenario in which North Korea no longer has nuclear weapons

815
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: that I can think of that's realistic is a scenario

816
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 1: that China wants to avoid at all costs. So when

817
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: we keep saying pressure China, this is the this is

818
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: the contradiction, This is the push pull the difficulty that

819
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: we face in dealing with this. And then on a

820
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 1: so that's with North Korea, and I think you gotta

821
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: remember that all the time when people are like, oh,

822
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: we'll do this on North Korea, will pressure China. Pressuring

823
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: China sounds good, but it's a little more. It's a

824
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: little more complicated than that in terms of I can

825
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: do with North Korea. And then you have Trump with

826
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: these meetings with the leadership in Vietnam, the Philippines and

827
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: other places as well as China. Right, he's met met

828
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: with Chinese leadership Juan Ping. So we would like better relations,

829
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: better trade relations with China, and we're and Trump was

830
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,479
Speaker 1: having meetings to that effect. That's great. An issue though,

831
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: comes up, and here's the issue. We are also meeting

832
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: with these other countries. Some people call them the literal

833
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: what L I T T O R A L States

834
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: of East Asia, the Island nations that that as well

835
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: as the Peninsula of South Korea. UM. But they are

836
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: a buffer as well as really a containment. They are allies,

837
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: and we are trying to strengthen them even more as

838
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: containment to balance China, to limit its aggressions, to limit

839
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: its territorial expansion, its expansion in as a blue water

840
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: navy at seizure of the South China see all of that.

841
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: We are relying on a on a coalition of sorts.

842
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:13,959
Speaker 1: It's almost like East Asia NATO, although different, but East

843
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: Asia NATO think of it that way. Philippines, Japan, South Korea,

844
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: to a lesser extent, Indonesia. But these are all countries

845
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: that we are hoping, I mean, Japan is at the

846
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: very center of this. We're hoping they will box China in.

847
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 1: So we have our leadership going over there saying, hey, China,

848
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: let's be let's agree on trade, let's be better friends,

849
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: let's work on all these different issues. Meanwhile, we're also

850
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: strengthening ties. Oh and Taiwan also factors into US. I

851
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: should not. We're also strengthening ties with all of these

852
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:55,240
Speaker 1: different countries that are regional competitors to China and already

853
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 1: have disputes with regard to these different island change, sprat Lee,

854
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 1: the Paracel, and all these different in the East China Sea,

855
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: in the South China Sea. Um. But those are parts

856
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: of uh, those are parts of this puzzle that you

857
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,399
Speaker 1: have to keep in mind here, because on the one hand,

858
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: we're saying we want warmer relations with China, we want

859
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: things to be great. On the other hand, we're like, hey, guys,

860
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 1: we all need to make sure that we're on the

861
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,479
Speaker 1: same page here, which is that we don't want China

862
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 1: getting getting too too big, too powerful, too assertive. We're

863
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: hoping you're gonna push back on that. Now. I'm not

864
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: saying this isn't good policy. I think it is. But

865
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: it just goes to show you that there is a

866
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: contradiction that is inherent in US related to the US

867
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:43,959
Speaker 1: relationship with China. Look, at the end of the day,

868
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: they are only near peer competitor on the global stage.

869
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: Russia is not there yet. Russia tell us a lot

870
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: of nukes, but Russia's population, it's economy. It's just not

871
00:50:54,920 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: a realistic opposition or a realistic opponent for the mantle

872
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: of first power, first world power, of well global power.

873
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: The champion um. China views itself in those terms very explicitly,

874
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 1: very obviously, and so we should pay attention to what's

875
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: realistic in dealing with China and what's not going out

876
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,080
Speaker 1: into the future. And they're quite aware of the fact

877
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 1: that we are buddies with all these different countries that

878
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: are there natural competitors, shall we say, regional competitors. So

879
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 1: that's at tension that exists in all of our relations

880
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: with China, never on the whole trade issue, as well

881
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: as all the cyber stuff, which is much worse than

882
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: most people realize because the government doesn't want it. If

883
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: the government, if we knew how bad the Chinese cyber

884
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: stuff really was, if the American people really knew the

885
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: full extent of it, I it is my belief. It's

886
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: not an area that I work in the government, but

887
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: it is my belief that we would be outraged. And

888
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: so there's a there's an incentive in the government not

889
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: letting us know just how bad things have gotten. So

890
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: that's my Those are my broad thoughts, broad spectrum thoughts

891
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: on what's going on here with Trump's Asia trip North Korea.

892
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: Top of list trade with China number two. Keep all

893
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: those things I said in mind going forward, and with

894
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: that we will bust into a break here. Later on,

895
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Lucian win Rich join us, who's going

896
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: to talk about his planned speech for a college for

897
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: a few colleges. I think coming up here, the title

898
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 1: of a speech was going to be It's Okay to

899
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: be White, and that caused some problems. We will have

900
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: him joining in just a little bit as well as

901
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: us some other stuff to talk about, So stay with me.

902
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: I just want to bring to you the breaking news

903
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: that happened I think early on when we were on

904
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: air here that Roy Moore has lost his r NC

905
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: fundraising support. So as of today, the r n C

906
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: says they will no longer fundraise for Roy Moore, ted

907
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: Cruise one and his name removed from Roy Moore's fun

908
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: raising and also released his statement saying that he you know,

909
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: is no longer going to be affiliated in any way

910
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: with anything having to do with Roy Moore. Paul Ryan,

911
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: I believe siden wasn' Paul Ryan that had said that

912
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: he believes the accusers and thinks that Roy Morris should

913
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: step aside. I think I saw that I watch a

914
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of news conferences. So it's tough

915
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: to keep it all straight. But that is that, and

916
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: and and McConnell. McConnell said it too. Yeah, we knew

917
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: McConnell was saying and not Paul Ryan's also come out

918
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: and said it. And there's this idea of a kind

919
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 1: of a switch of taking Jeff Sessions third party candidate

920
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: and doing a right in against Roy Moore, which I

921
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: should note I think that probably just from a from

922
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: a political prognostication perspective, pardon the alliteration. Wow, that just

923
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: went four there. That was I just went wild with

924
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 1: the alliteration. But from from guessing how this will turn

925
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: out politically, I think if you have a third party candidate,

926
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: you will have um, you will have a situation where

927
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: the Democrat wins just because you'll split the vote. That's

928
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 1: what I think, because there'll be people will vote for

929
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: Roy Moore. I think of playing of them no matter what,

930
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 1: because I don't believe it right. So, if you have

931
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: a third party or not a third party, pardon me,

932
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: if you have a right in candidate option, you're just

933
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: going to give the Democrat a better chance of winning.

934
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see how this all plays out.

935
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: It is changed, that storyline changing every day. One other

936
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: thing that I don't have too much time to get

937
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 1: into here, we will talk about some of the most

938
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:43,319
Speaker 1: recent just terrible accusations of sexual assault are out there.

939
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: I call it purging, the purging the perverts. That's what's

940
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: happening all these and you get these TV executives and

941
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 1: movie producers and movie directors and movie actors and uh

942
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: editors in chief of magazines and you know, I mean

943
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:05,440
Speaker 1: and all of that. I've been wondering, uh, when it

944
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: would start to break a little more about the harassment

945
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: that goes on in d C, specifically the political uh,

946
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: the political situation in er the sexual harassment situation in

947
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 1: our nations capital because looking at what the what the

948
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: precursors are here for you know these incidents, right, and

949
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: men with power they abuse the power. Uh, there's a

950
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: lot of that in d C. And they're also away

951
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 1: from the most part, a lot of them are away

952
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: from their families. Um, you know, talking about members of

953
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: Congress here, there's definitely there's definitely harassment that goes on

954
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: in d C. And given the kinds of story and

955
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: people are going way back in time, to get some

956
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 1: of these stories out there. I just wonder when this

957
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: will when it will break, When that damn will break,

958
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:02,959
Speaker 1: because I can tell you there's you can just assume there.

959
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean, like if Bill Clinton, you think about some

960
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: of the stuff that's gone on sexual abuse, sexual harassment,

961
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: all of it in the past in DC, very high

962
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: profile cases. The Hill has a piece up lawmakers describe

963
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: pervasive sexual harassment on Capitol Hill. Ah. Yeah, I can imagine.

964
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: I can assume and imagine that that is going on.

965
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering who will be the first target of

966
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: the media's I or who who will they make the

967
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,840
Speaker 1: first example of when it comes to an elected official

968
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: or a very high level appointed official in d C

969
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 1: who as a habit of saying stuff, grabbing at people, etcetera, etcetera.

970
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 1: That's coming, That's gonna happen soon, you mark my words.

971
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 1: Back by the way, a lot of people are rescued.

972
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: I will tell you what I heard about it two

973
00:56:55,239 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: days ago ahead great conversation with PRESIDENTI. Where they did

974
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: was unfortunately, you know, you're talking about very long prison services.

975
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: They do not play games. He was terrific and they're

976
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 1: working on it right now and hopefully everything's gonna work out.

977
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: So a couple of U c l A athletes got

978
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: caught allegedly shoplifting in China and it has gone all

979
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: the way up to the level of the President of

980
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: the United States speaking to the Premier of china Es

981
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: and paying about this. Uh tyrone, what's the latest? Apparently

982
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: they'll be headed home at some point today. They may

983
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: already be headed home and they're just not gonna go

984
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: back to China. That's that's a good idea. Now. What

985
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: limits them though, is none None of the three are

986
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: considered top flight NBA prospects. There's a lot of money

987
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: to be made playing professional basketball in China. So there

988
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: actually will be a long term repercussion from this because

989
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: most likely they were all long term headed to China.

990
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: But they do have a college scholarship. Hopefully they study

991
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: hard and do something. It didn't Stefan Marbury go there

992
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: and turned into like is he still there? And they

993
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: love him? Right? I Mean he's like some names if

994
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: people out there, Jimmer for Day, who played for the Knicks,

995
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: he's there. He scores sixty points a game. But so

996
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: there's money to be made there and that is probably

997
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: not in the future. Of these three, the most famous

998
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: one being le Angelo Ball of the famous Ball family. Okay, alright,

999
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: fair enough, So also a couple other big stories, uh,

1000
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: involving sports, politics and everything else. Right now, let's talk

1001
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: about I mean, look, g Q magazine. I think a

1002
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, I don't even know it's

1003
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: still a thing. It's still out there though it's still

1004
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 1: a magazine, it has a name. I mean, you know,

1005
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: print magazines are in their death throws right now. It's

1006
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: all it's all gone online and that's where it's all

1007
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: gonna be. But you have g Q magazine putting Colin

1008
00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: Kaepernick as Man of the Year, and a lot of

1009
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 1: folks are saying a whole lot of second. J. J.

1010
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: Watt raises, how much was it thirty thirty seven million

1011
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: dollars for hurricane victims in Texas Hurricane Harvey victims and

1012
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: alan Kaepernick's Man of the Year. What do we think

1013
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: about this? So so I can go both ways on this, Okay,

1014
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 1: the one thing is, um he didn't do an interview

1015
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: for this. Other people spoke on his behalf the There

1016
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: was a big rally in Philadelphia yesterday for rapper Meek

1017
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: Mill about justice, basically the justice system not being fair,

1018
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 1: and I think there is some value despite the people

1019
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: not liking his method, there is some value. There are

1020
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: now real, tangible conversations happening, mainly because he chose to kneel.

1021
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say. On on the one hand,

1022
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: on the other hand, he hasn't said a word in

1023
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: the last year, so it's it's tough. But for being

1024
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: an being a black person, those conversations are conversations I've

1025
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: always wanted to have. He's not the perfect messenger for

1026
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: those issues, but I'm playing those issues of being I

1027
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: will say I like that. I saw there were some

1028
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: uh there were some cases where NFL players I think

1029
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: this was NFL players were meeting with local law enforcement

1030
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: to discuss issues, and I'm all four of that. I

1031
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: think that sends a great message on a on a

1032
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: bunch of levels too, because I think that a lot

1033
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: of young predominantly African American UH men in certain neighborhoods

1034
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: in the city obviously look up to NFL players as

1035
01:00:27,800 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: as as heroes or just as people of UH you know,

1036
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: people of influence for in a bunch of different ways,

1037
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: and that they them having a conversation with law enforcement

1038
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be that is to be constructive. I

1039
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: think shows a lot of other people Okay, if you

1040
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: want to deal with this constructively approaching, this is the

1041
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,959
Speaker 1: way to go, and there is a conversation to be had. Yes,

1042
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 1: that that's been very positive. And it's also some teams,

1043
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: some teams of now who are making bigons of dollars

1044
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: still despite the quote unquote you know, fall into demisitive league.

1045
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: They're pringing money. Yet they would take no interest in

1046
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: the city in which they make all that money. And

1047
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: now some of them are now having to take responsibility.

1048
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 1: If you're in if you're the Chicago Bears, you should

1049
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: care that there's that many murders in your city. It

1050
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: should you make your money there, you became a billionaire

1051
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: in that city. You should care that people are getting

1052
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: gunned down NonStop. And now some of them are now

1053
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: taking responsibility in some way. So while he's a bad messenger,

1054
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: the message I think is starting to become more clear.

1055
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 1: The other part is I am not sure at the

1056
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: time initially, whatever the message was, whatever that the protest was,

1057
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: I do not believe it would have been popular at first,

1058
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: No matter what it was because history says when black

1059
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: people in America to this point, maybe they'll change going

1060
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:50,520
Speaker 1: forward protest Generally, people at first don't like it, and

1061
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: then like even Martin Luther King like studies shows sixty

1062
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: people at the time, we're like, what is he doing

1063
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: talking about I have a dream? Like then so and

1064
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: then later on i' so he's not more to the

1065
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: the Kaepernick. The Kaepernick saga continues, and he's now g

1066
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: QS Man of the Year. Uh, certainly a whole lot

1067
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: less objectionable than when Rolling Stone put uh was it

1068
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: Jahar Sarnaif on the cover? Uh? Right? And just to

1069
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: be clear, and I'm not some big common Kaepernick fan.

1070
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: My main point is he didn't break any laws. So

1071
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 1: there are worst people who have been not even Yeah,

1072
01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: and Rolling Stone was just was just trolling the whole

1073
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: kind of It's just wildly or responsible. And you know,

1074
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: I think that UV a fraternity suit them. I wonder

1075
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: how I forget how that turned out. But all right,

1076
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 1: but one more thing I wanted to get into. We

1077
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: only got a few minutes here. Um, Roger Goodell, how

1078
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: is it that you can be the NFL commissioner and

1079
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 1: and make the kind of demands that he's making when

1080
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: you and I both know, Tyrone, I don't know that

1081
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: much about the NFL. I certainly don't know much about

1082
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: what goes on in the NFL offices, the back office.

1083
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 1: But a lot of people could do that commissioner job,

1084
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: probably for a whole lot less money and maybe even better.

1085
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: See I be with you with absolutely on the first

1086
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 1: two parts. The better part is it's hard to be

1087
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: an empty suit. Wait wait, hold, wait, but hold be

1088
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,640
Speaker 1: if we're gonn empty shoot, what are his demands? His

1089
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: demands fifty million dollars? So this is what's fun. It

1090
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: gets released that he asked for fifty million dollars and

1091
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: his publicist comes out and says, no, it was forty

1092
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: nine point seven five million, not fifty. Oh, it's like

1093
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: it's like you're buying a house. You know, you're buying

1094
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: it for you know, four hundred and ninety nine thousand,

1095
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: not half a million. That's scary, right, then a private

1096
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: jet for life, health insurance for him and his children

1097
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 1: for life, and a sort of other perks that he

1098
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: wants from the league. So fifty million a year private

1099
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: jet use for life and health insurance for him and

1100
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: his kids, for life, all right, not so tell me

1101
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: what's the so you're saying that to being empty, to

1102
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: be such a uh, such a competent, incompetent, to be

1103
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: such a good empty suit is what It's difficult. You,

1104
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: You buck Sexton, who was a man of many times,

1105
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: could not be NFL commissioner because so thirty two billionaires

1106
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 1: would come to you and they would tell you that

1107
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: the guy who made four hundred thousand dollars shouldn't be

1108
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: able to wear blue socks. And you would say, why

1109
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: do I care about this? And they would say, because

1110
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: I said so, he said, But seriously, guys, so I

1111
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: really want to die on this hill of blue no

1112
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: blue socks. Yes. All he does is answer to the owners.

1113
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: That's all he does. That's why he has such a

1114
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: bad relationship with the players. That's why he can't stop

1115
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: them from kneeling. That's why because again Silver and the

1116
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: NBA didn't have to make a rule. He just called

1117
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: him and said, hey, guys, um don't kneel, and the

1118
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: guy said okay. And he all he does is just

1119
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: whatever the owners tell him. He blindly does it. He's

1120
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 1: an empty suit. The players have already said when they

1121
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: collective bargain agreements up in one. No matter what you offer,

1122
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 1: if this guy is in charge, we're we're gonna it's

1123
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna be a strike or lock. You don't have to

1124
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: lock us out. We're not signing a new deal. We

1125
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: don't like this guy. But they already said that. These

1126
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 1: are players who usually only think about the next day

1127
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: because NFL careers are so short. They've already said, yeah, no,

1128
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: it's it's a labor stop. We're not dealing with this guy.

1129
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 1: But he does whatever the owners tell him to do.

1130
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: And while he has no skill at all, that is

1131
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: a skill and he's done that better than anybody else

1132
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: that's ever been in that position. And the league up

1133
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: until this year was making record amount of money. All right,

1134
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 1: thank you tyrone. Wow, fifty fifty million dollars. Uh? I

1135
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: mean you think about what you know. Sometimes you'll see

1136
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: this ce you know, ceo compensation for different companies and

1137
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: it will be really high, right, but you know, even

1138
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: for pretty major company CEOs will get paid half a million,

1139
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: a million, and then there's usually bonuses, incentive, stock, all

1140
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: that stuff too. And but I mean, just like guarantee,

1141
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: fifty fifty million dollars that's that's a lot of money.

1142
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the NFL is a money making machine.

1143
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: Maybe a little less so now, but as Tyrone points out,

1144
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: it's still a very very profitable, very very profitable enterprise.

1145
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: We got Lucien Wintris joining us here to talk about

1146
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: his upcoming planned speech, Is It Okay to Be White?

1147
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: You can imagine that this has cause some issues. We'll

1148
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 1: talk to him in just a few Stay with me. Oh,

1149
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: the campus speech wars continue, my friends. We have a

1150
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: guest now with us who is in the midst of

1151
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: his own campus speech battle. Lucian Wintrich joins us. He

1152
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: is the White House correspondent for the Gateway Pondit. He

1153
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: was planning to go give a speech at you mass Boston,

1154
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: and it's supposed to be was supposed to be this Friday,

1155
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 1: but there's a little bit of a problem with it,

1156
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: and he will tell us about it now. Lucien, great

1157
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 1: to have you back. Yeah, thank you for having me.

1158
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: All right, so, what was the title of the speech

1159
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: you plan to give at the University of Massachusetts. So

1160
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: the title of the speech was simply It's Okay to

1161
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: Be White? Which, um, first of all, you know this

1162
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: whole thing, It's okay to be white. That's slogan. It

1163
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: started off or it was started by the genius is

1164
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: over at four chan who he arrives that the left

1165
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: is so reactionary, so insane that you can't even say

1166
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: in America that it's all right if you're white, UK.

1167
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: You can't make such an innocuous statement. Um, and they

1168
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 1: were right. Um. The the backlash that that that slogan

1169
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: has had, not only in this country but any Canada

1170
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 1: is astonishing. You know. At the University of Alberta, UM,

1171
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: the president over there, he called it an incident of

1172
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: racism and promised to investigates. I mean, what could be

1173
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: more handy racist than than this slogan? He he claimed

1174
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: that it targets and marginalizes individuals and groups. And how right.

1175
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: The title is not it's better to be white, or

1176
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: you should be white or no, the title is it's okay,

1177
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: meaning it is not a problem to be white. And

1178
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: there is a problem with you saying that, apparently, I mean,

1179
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it's it really is astonishing. I mean, obviously,

1180
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: the pushback against the slogan, it seems to imply the

1181
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: less things that it's not all right, it's not okay

1182
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: to be blunt or to be to be white. Um,

1183
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 1: I I mean again, just uh so, it's very very

1184
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 1: frustrating this this upcoming week with the speech that I

1185
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: was set to give. It really did just examine the

1186
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: current cultural climate that we're dealing with in America right now,

1187
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 1: where the left is so reactionary, where the left is

1188
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 1: so quick to to not only disparage people, but but

1189
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 1: uh call call innocuous um slogans like this racist and

1190
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 1: uh lo and behold of course, the the university at

1191
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:40,520
Speaker 1: the very last minute, they're claiming that their security concerns

1192
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's an insecure environment. Um, they're and what

1193
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: did they do? They pushed it. They pushed it to

1194
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:51,759
Speaker 1: three months from now. They need, they need a total

1195
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: of three months to prepare for for a speech about

1196
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: culture and politics in America. Do you have professors that

1197
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: were banding together and and and prepared to like write,

1198
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: you know, angry letters to the student paper and everything

1199
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,640
Speaker 1: else because of this speech or did you get I mean,

1200
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: I give me the full Obviously there's opposition to this,

1201
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,799
Speaker 1: but where did you see the opposition coming from? Because

1202
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 1: I'm curious what the c C with with all Lives Matter, right,

1203
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: which this kind of reminds me of the all Lives

1204
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,679
Speaker 1: Matter situation, where it's hard to think of a more

1205
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,599
Speaker 1: innocuous phrase, or or more phrase the phrase that should

1206
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 1: have more unilateral and universal buy I'm sorry, universal not

1207
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: universal buy in than all lives matter. But they say, well,

1208
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: it's you know, I've heard the argument. It's like showing

1209
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: up at a funeral and saying, well, what about my

1210
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: uncle who died last week? Right there, saying that it's

1211
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: it diverse attention. Okay, whether you believe that or not.

1212
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: I can't even think of what the objection is to

1213
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 1: it's okay to be white? I mean, like, well, what

1214
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: is the objection? Well, you know they're they're trying to.

1215
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't think it aligns with their game of intersectionality

1216
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: and multiculturalist politics. Um. I think, but but but if

1217
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,560
Speaker 1: you're speach is a problem, Lucien, isn't it fair to

1218
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: say that they're saying that it's actually not okay to

1219
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:07,799
Speaker 1: be white? Then? Oh? Yeah, yeah? According right now, according

1220
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: to the University of Massachusetts, Boston, it is not okay

1221
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: to be white. Um or I guess it's okay. Three

1222
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: months from now, after they prepare for it. What kind

1223
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: of preparations are we talking about. I will tell you that,

1224
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 1: having gone to Amorous College, we had you mass amorus

1225
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 1: just down the street and it did get rowdy. So

1226
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, be careful, be careful when you have this speech,

1227
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: because you know, the Patriots would win, they'd light stuff

1228
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: on fire and flip over cars. The Patriots would lose,

1229
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: they'd light stuff on fire and flip over cars. You know,

1230
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: there should have been a little more studying going on

1231
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: down there. Sometimes I think, you know, it really is

1232
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 1: astonishing you. Back when I went to to Barn Barn

1233
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,560
Speaker 1: College and up state New York, I remember once the

1234
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: dean of multicultural affairs, she called me into her office

1235
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 1: and uh, I was accused of m I guess, racial insensitivity.

1236
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: I had a radio show on on campus at the

1237
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 1: time and I had played a rap song and she

1238
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: explained to me that white people can't play rap music

1239
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 1: because it wasn't written for us. Um and I at

1240
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: the time, you know it was, to be honest, it

1241
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: was a very racist thing. Wow, she was saying that

1242
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: rap music, for you to play it was cultural appropriation. Yeah, yeah,

1243
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: just to play it just to enjoy it. Um and

1244
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: I at the time, I said, you know what, this

1245
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: is a crazy, weird environment. I think, Uh, in a

1246
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: couple of years after I graduate, the nation will grow

1247
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: out of this University's will realize how silly and racists

1248
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: they're they're being and pushing these these a sort of

1249
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: arbitrary uh notions. And no, it's gotten worse. It's just

1250
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: gotten worse. I remember when I was on campus and

1251
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: what's being said now, Lucian, and it's gotten crazier, which

1252
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 1: I didn't think was possible at the time. It's wild.

1253
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's taken a spiral at this point

1254
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: where again you can't even say that it's okay to

1255
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: be white. You can't even say it's all right if

1256
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: you're white, it's all right, if you're black, it's all

1257
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: right whatever you are, because that's that's considered. You know.

1258
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,679
Speaker 1: I think you should try for for your next speech, Lucien.

1259
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: I think you should try it's okay to be any

1260
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: ethnicity comma, including white, and see if that and see

1261
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: if that gets through the censors on campus. Yeah, we'll

1262
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: have to Yeah, well, I definitely have to keep playing

1263
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: around with subsequent titles. Are you planning more of these?

1264
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: By the way, this is an interesting campus free speech experiment. Yeah,

1265
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, I, Um, I am actually going to be

1266
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 1: I haven't officially announced this yet, but I was just

1267
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: booked to speak at the University of Connecticut on the

1268
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:37,599
Speaker 1: twenty on Tuesday, November. So um, that's yeah, that's gonna

1269
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 1: be the next next species? Is this through college Republicans?

1270
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:42,599
Speaker 1: I mean, who are the rabble rousers that are bringing

1271
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 1: Lucien Wintrich of the Gateway Pundit to their campus? So yeah,

1272
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 1: at uh Yukon, it is the It is the college Republicans.

1273
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: So I'm thrilled that they are, that they're standing up

1274
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 1: for free speech, that they're going to have me on.

1275
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a wonderful, wonderful talk. Most

1276
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: likely it is going to be very similar because I

1277
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 1: didn't get to give this speech at you Mass, so

1278
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna borrow parts of this. But you know, the

1279
01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: news cycle we're working in, you have to keep you

1280
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: have to keep shifting around concepts here, so it's relevant.

1281
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: Um yeah, so I I anybody in the in the

1282
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: Connecticut area, UM is welcome. I believe it will be

1283
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 1: open admission. All right, Well, look, Lucien, let let us know,

1284
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: let us know before this happen, and we're definitely gonna

1285
01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: want and after action report from you, from you after

1286
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 1: you've been to some of these campuses, because I have

1287
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 1: a feeling will be a lot of uh, you know,

1288
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: zoo noises during your speech, you know, screaming, yelling, maybe

1289
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 1: some what are the air horns and these sort of things,

1290
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 1: So we'll want to know how it, how it goes down.

1291
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on for Anti fa you gotta you

1292
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 1: gotta be able to see him coming. And uh, Lucian,

1293
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 1: everyone should go check out his stuff at the Gateway pondit.

1294
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,640
Speaker 1: Mr winch Rich, great to have you, absolutely, thank you

1295

1297
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: We're talked to Emily's Nati about what I'm calling the

1298
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 1: purge of the perverts. So many sexual harassment allegations, and

1299
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:12,719
Speaker 1: they're the level of of depravity that we've already read about,

1300
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: and there's just more and more. It's truly, it is

1301
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:21,800
Speaker 1: truly astonishing. It's hard to fathom how this was going

1302
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: on and not not just Harvey Weinstein. There's so much else,

1303
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 1: and we'll tell you the latest, the latest incidents in

1304

Speaker 1: the next hour, and then also I'll tell you about

1305
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: the update on the woman who gave the middle finger

1306
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: to the President's motorcade. What happened with her, here's a hint,

1307
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: the Left took care of her. Um. And also some

1308
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 1: Team Buck speaks which I'm very much looking forward to,

1315
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: of perverts continues in Hollywood and in the broader media.

1316
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: You have new allegations out there, more people getting fired,

1317
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 1: and just more really disturbing stuff getting splashed into the headlines. Here.

1318
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,640
Speaker 1: So we've got Emily Zanati joining us now. She is

1319
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: a writer for The Daily Wire. I also got to

1320
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 1: meet Emily at a media panel this past weekend in Chicago, which,

1321
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:37,800
Speaker 1: other than being cold, was a great time. Emily, great

1322
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 1: to see you, and actually this time around although we're

1323
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 1: only talking. I did actually get to see you, which

1324
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: was which was super fun, and we we had a

1325
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: we had a good chat. I thought on that panel

1326
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: were drop dropping bombs about the Clinton Foundation, but it

1327
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: was true. But I digress. All right, let's get into this.

1328
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: So today we have the actor that this is the

1329
01:15:58,040 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 1: latest that I see here and I think, did you

1330
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: write about this? In Deli Wire? Actor Tom size More

1331
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 1: was removed from a movie set after allegedly violating an

1332
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 1: eleven year old actress on the movie What the heck

1333
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: is going on here? Yeah? So this has actually been

1334
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 1: my beat, this Hollywood pervert beat, for the last six weeks,

1335
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: and I'm ready to just burn it down. This is

1336
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 1: the worst, though, Tom, says Moore, who's sort of a

1337
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:30,839
Speaker 1: B list actor. He appears within the background of various

1338
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 1: action movies. From the Big Burly Action Guy. He was

1339
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:38,320
Speaker 1: filming a movie called Born Killers, not Nashural Born Killers,

1340
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,679
Speaker 1: and he was filming a scene where a young girl

1341
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:43,200
Speaker 1: had to sit on his lap at like a holiday dinner,

1342
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: and apparently as she was sitting on his lap, he

1343
01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: slid his hand down between her legs and horrifying things

1344
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 1: um and then he the girl didn't tell her parents,

1345
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: who's only eleven years old at the time. She didn't

1346
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: tell her parents till the next day that this had happened.

1347
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 1: The producers and directors on the film moved immediately. They

1348
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: got him off the set. They actually encouraged the parents

1349
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: to pilot police report. Nothing eventually happened. But this is

1350
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: just absolutely horrifying that these claims actually keep getting worse

1351
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: every time a new actor comes into one of these allegations.

1352
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 1: I just it's it's hard to to to fathom. I mean,

1353
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 1: I know somebody told me that with the side I'd

1354
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 1: actually I didn't know the details until you told me

1355
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 1: them just now. But I did see a headlined somewhere

1356
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: about how the rest of the cast or some of

1357
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: the other some of the other cast members, some of

1358
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: the male cast members wanted to uh basically pound his

1359
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: face in after they heard about this and that the

1360
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 1: director had to And now having heard what the actual

1361
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: allegations are specifically, I completely understand and agree with the

1362
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 1: sentiment from these actors that they wanted to beat the

1363
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: crap out of this guy. How does this not get

1364
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like this is something that would

1365
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,480
Speaker 1: get out there. I mean, the size more is not Weinstein.

1366
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 1: So do we have any sense of why this didn't

1367
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: why this wasn't known. I guess these allegations have been

1368
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 1: floating around, but no one sort of connected it to

1369
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:18,560
Speaker 1: a larger situation after two thousand two, and in in

1370
01:18:18,720 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 1: terms of Tom Sizemore, it actually was one of the like,

1371
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 1: sort of lesser things that he did. At the time,

1372
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,759
Speaker 1: he had actually just gotten out of jail for beating

1373
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,640
Speaker 1: up his girlfriend, Heidi Flice, the Hollywood Madam, so he

1374
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:34,840
Speaker 1: was just a headline grabbing guy. Now. The girl's parents

1375
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 1: decided they didn't want to pursue charges in this instance,

1376
01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: largely because they couldn't prove it happened other than what

1377
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: the girl said and on camera didn't look like he

1378
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: did anything wrong, but also because they didn't want to

1379
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 1: ruin this little girl's acting career, and they thought that

1380
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: actually calling out an actor for doing something disgusting was

1381
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: going to have an impact on this poor little girl's

1382
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:59,160
Speaker 1: acting career. And we find that over and over and

1383
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: over again in the worries that people just didn't come

1384
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: forward because they thought they would never work again. If

1385
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: I were if I were that little girl's father, or

1386
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: brother or family member or friend. I think that I

1387
01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 1: don't know how i'd get around violence in response to this.

1388
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean. And by the way, if

1389
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: I were sitting on the jury of the father or

1390
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 1: brother after he took it into his took a law

1391
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: into his own hands, I'd be like, you know what,

1392
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna We're gonna go off the books

1393
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 1: on this one. I don't think there's gonna be a

1394
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 1: guilty verdict. So anyway, I'm that's among And it's hard

1395
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 1: these days to get attention for being the most appalling emily,

1396
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: but this guy is certainly at the at the top

1397
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 1: of the list. Wow, um, I saw something keep getting worse, Yeah,

1398
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:43,440
Speaker 1: it keeps getting worse. I saw something about uh Ariana

1399
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: Huffington's ignoring and this is a separate story, everybody, But

1400
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: this is again in the sexual harassment allegations, ignoring huff

1401
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: Post sexual harassment or something. Can you give us any

1402
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: updates on that or is that still just breaking? That's

1403
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: actually just breaking. I don't really know how much more

1404
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 1: I'll be able to offer from now. But she's obviously

1405
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 1: the former managing editor of the Huffington Post. While she

1406
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 1: was at the head of the Huffington Post. Apparently a

1407
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 1: multiple number a number of women came to Arianna Huffington's

1408
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:15,920
Speaker 1: and to the HR department at the Huffington Post and

1409
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: said that they had been sexually harassed by an editor

1410
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: who was working there. Now, the Huffington Post did very little.

1411
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: They transferred the editor, but he then continued to sexually

1412
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: harass women in his workplace. And allegedly, as far as

1413
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 1: we know from what these women have now told they,

1414
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:40,879
Speaker 1: she really just didn't do anything. She fostered an environment

1415
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,720
Speaker 1: that encouraged the sort of behavior and looked to the

1416
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 1: other way, and now she's definitely in the cross theirs.

1417
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: We're speaking to Emily the Nati of The Daily Wire.

1418
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: You can read her latest at the Daily wire dot com.

1419
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: We were in a couple of minutes, Emily, But what's

1420
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: this about Hollywood ignoring a wave of sexual harassment allegations

1421
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: at the first Oscar party. Yeah, so we're starting to

1422
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: come into Oscar season. We're starting to come into all

1423
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: of these award shows and have the Golden Globes and

1424
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: the Oscars coming up here. The very first Oscar honorary

1425
01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: statuettes for issued this last Weekend A List stars were there,

1426
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: plenty of people. Harvey Weinstein would have been there, has

1427
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: they not been in sort of in patient sex therapy

1428
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: and Arizona nobody said anything. There was an untelevised event.

1429
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 1: The issues were completely unmentioned. So it's kind of interesting

1430
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 1: that Hollywood loves to talk about how nice they are

1431
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:34,679
Speaker 1: and how amazing they are and how they're really cleaning

1432
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: up their acts, but when they're out of the public eye,

1433
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: they don't even say anything to each other about it.

1434
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 1: And we do you have any sense as to whether

1435
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: or or are there updates coming on Winsteins a case,

1436
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: by the way, is that happening soon or I mean,

1437
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: I feel like at this point there's just we know

1438
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,560
Speaker 1: that every day there will be more of these allegations

1439
01:21:55,600 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: and in some cases like Louis c k admissions, do

1440
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: you have anything anything you're expecting to break soon or

1441
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:03,080
Speaker 1: anything we should be on the lookout for, because it

1442
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 1: seems like every day now. So, Weinstein had reportedly been

1443
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: asked to meet with the l A p D and

1444
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: the New York City Police Department. Both of them are

1445
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 1: pursuing open cases, as is Scotland Yard in London. So

1446
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: we're expecting that either the New York Police Department or

1447
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 1: the l a p D will come down with an

1448
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 1: indictment here in the next couple of weeks. The New

1449
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 1: York Police Department says they want to take potential charges

1450
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: against Harvey Weinstein to a grand jury before they actually

1451
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: issued the indictment, So we're expecting potentially Harvey Wine seemed

1452
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 1: to be arrested, but it's it's still up in the

1453
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: air and could be a couple of weeks yet before

1454
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 1: we find out about that. Emily's naughty everybody. She is

1455
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: at the Daily Wire. You can read her latest pieces

1456
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: at the Daily wire dot com. Emily, great to have

1457
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: you on the show and great to finally get a

1458
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: chance to work with you out in Chicago. Yeah, it

1459
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: was awesome. Thank you, Thanks so much for joining. Appreciate it. Okay,

1460
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: jam we are going to be rolling into a break

1461
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: here at the moment. I've got a few stories I

1462
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: want to talk to about. One is the woman who

1463
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: gave the finger to the President's motorcade. She got a

1464
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 1: lot of money. Oh yeah, we'll talk about that. Also,

1465
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 1: a guy who has an emotional support squirrel. I actually

1466
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 1: support him and his emotional support squirrel, and then I'll

1467
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: give you the docks and story part two. So it's

1468
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,680
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun rest of our will be right back.

1469
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: What do you think the most money you could get

1470
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 1: for an obscene gesture towards a presidential motorcade could be?

1471
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just wondering, you know, throw out some

1472
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,680
Speaker 1: numbers as I'm talking to you here, because I can

1473
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:44,400
Speaker 1: tell you that I never thought that the woman who

1474
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 1: gave the middle finger to a presidential motorcade would in

1475
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:56,800
Speaker 1: fact find herself the new recipient of as of I go,

1476
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 1: as of this broadcast, thousand dollars in cash. Julie Briskman

1477
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 1: was the woman who I thinking it was a DC suburb.

1478
01:24:08,720 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: I can't remember if it was Maryland or Virginia at

1479
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: all blurs in my mind, having spent far too much

1480
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: time in both places. She got fired because she stuck

1481
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: her middle finger up at the president's passing motorcade and

1482
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: the photo went viral. She was on a bicycle. I

1483
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 1: described this to you, and I have to say that

1484
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a little bit uh chasened here. You know,

1485
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: I I may have read this one a little wrong,

1486
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: because what I said was at the time that while

1487
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: an obscene gesture towards the presidential motorcade is not cool,

1488
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 1: it's not something that it's legal, keep him, as I said,

1489
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: but it's not cool. It's it lacks decorum, it lacks class,

1490
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: and it's just an unseemly thing to do, a disrespectful

1491
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: thing to do. I also felt like I wish we

1492
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: live in a country where everything wasn't not just political,

1493
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: but also you could be held responsible for political opinions,

1494
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 1: and that we wouldn't be in a country where people

1495
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: would get fired for this kind of stuff. It would

1496
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: just be you know, we would live and let live politically. Now.

1497
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: I know that's fantasy land stuff, that's nonsense, and I

1498
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: said so at the time, but I just I wish

1499
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 1: that we could get away with having our opinions and

1500
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:32,559
Speaker 1: showing our displeasure with government on our private time without

1501
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: fear of retribution. I've always understood, and have said many

1502
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:41,759
Speaker 1: times on this show, that you will have far greater

1503
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: you operate under far greater peril if you're a conservative,

1504
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: if you are right of center when it comes to

1505
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 1: expressing your politics in not even in the workplace but

1506
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: that too, but also just in your day to day

1507
01:25:55,120 --> 01:26:00,479
Speaker 1: life because liberals feel a righteousness and a they have

1508
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:05,599
Speaker 1: an authority, a petty authoritarian streak. And this is why,

1509
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, the people that tell you why are you recycling?

1510
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: Why are you taking that big car that goes is

1511
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: all that gas to work? It's always liberals there. There's

1512
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: snowflake is um on the one hand means that they

1513
01:26:18,400 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: are constantly offended, but it also means that they take

1514
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:25,879
Speaker 1: offense on behalf of others, and that gives them license

1515
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 1: in their minds to nag you about nonsense. But and

1516
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 1: that's that's beside the point for the moment, because here

1517
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: we have this woman who got fired and she's a

1518
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: she's a single mom I think of two. And I

1519
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 1: felt a little a little bad for her in the

1520
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 1: sense that, you know, she probably didn't think she was

1521
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: going to lose her job because she, you know, did

1522
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,880
Speaker 1: she She flipped the bird to the president so to speak,

1523
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: or his motor kaid and like I said, disrespectful and gross.

1524
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: But now she's fired, and you know, the kids don't

1525
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: have well turns out, as I have said to you

1526
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: so many times on the show, the left takes care

1527
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 1: of its own. She's got almost a hundred thousand dollars

1528
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:11,559
Speaker 1: of cash raised. Now, I think she was some form

1529
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 1: of contractor. I forget what she was doing, but I

1530
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 1: know what people in the DC area make, give or take,

1531
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing this was close to her full set.

1532
01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm guessing it's close to I don't know

1533
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:27,919
Speaker 1: what this woman was making close to her full salary.

1534
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, she may have gotten fired. But because Democrats

1535
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: and the left understand that there is a a an

1536
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 1: advantage to always taking care of those who politicize everything.

1537
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 1: There's an advantage to letting everyone know that even when

1538
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:48,679
Speaker 1: you go too far, and this woman went too far,

1539
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,439
Speaker 1: if you do it for the left, if you do

1540
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:53,920
Speaker 1: it as part of the progressive cause, there will be

1541
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,639
Speaker 1: jobs waiting for you, there will be books, there will

1542
01:27:56,680 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 1: be speaking engagements. Conservatives just don't at this. They don't

1543
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 1: understand this the same way our political machinery and our

1544
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: ideological I don't. I don't know, I don't even really

1545
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 1: know how to describe this. So then just people on

1546
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,679
Speaker 1: the right don't take care of their own the same way.

1547
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:19,320
Speaker 1: They just don't. You will not see this. Now, Yes,

1548
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: when a girl's I remember when I was on working

1549
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 1: at the Blaze Glenn had there was a girl who

1550
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 1: was selling for Christmas wreaths I think in the park

1551
01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:31,640
Speaker 1: or something, and Conservative see injustice, and they ended up

1552
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 1: buying all of her wreaths because she got shut down

1553
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:38,479
Speaker 1: by the city authorities. Sure, conservative see injustice and they

1554
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: step in. And that's how that little girl from I

1555
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 1: think it was Seattle end up making thirty dollars off

1556
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 1: at Christmas wreaths online. But when it comes to people

1557
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,759
Speaker 1: that get fired or or comes to somebody who suffers

1558
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: adverse consequences for their political beliefs, we don't. We just

1559
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:00,879
Speaker 1: don't do what they do the other side would. She's okay,

1560
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 1: you got you took a hit for our cause. We're

1561
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 1: gonna show everybody that we will make sure you're okay

1562
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: because we want other people. We want everybody, the left says,

1563
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: to be disrespectful to the president. We want everybody to

1564
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: take every opportunity to be nasty and terrible to this president.

1565
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: So a follow up story that extending the middle finger

1566
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 1: to the motor kaide got this woman close. It will

1567
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 1: be a hundred grand I'm sure by you know the

1568
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:27,719
Speaker 1: end of the week, hundred thousand dollars yeah, and someone's

1569
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 1: gonna hire her now of course too. I mean we

1570
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: know that, right, she'll get picked up by some organization

1571
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,560
Speaker 1: that's run by Democrats, plenty of those with lots of

1572
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:39,479
Speaker 1: money out there, so she's gonna be just fine. This

1573
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 1: is one of my weaknesses. Everyone, I'm I'm too much

1574
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 1: of a softie. I my first impulse is is sympathy

1575
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 1: for people that are going through a tough situation. And

1576
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe I need to be a little more

1577
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:53,640
Speaker 1: roll up the sleeves cracked and knuckles and you know,

1578
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 1: there's gonna there's gonna be casualties in this political fight.

1579
01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:00,080
Speaker 1: My friends. I should just accept that, but I I

1580
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 1: feel bad, especially when they are kids, and you know,

1581
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 1: I was worried that they their mom wouldn't have a

1582
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:09,679
Speaker 1: paycheck anyway. But she's fine, She's just fine. I also

1583
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 1: wanted to throw into the mix here, and this is

1584
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 1: an abrupt turn in the middle of a segment. But

1585
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 1: I just saw this story and and it resonated with me.

1586
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 1: I'll share some occasionally some some unusual stuff about myself.

1587
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I've always thought that it would be

1588
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 1: really cool to have an unusual pet. I've always thought

1589
01:30:31,479 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna follow up on the docks in story later.

1590
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 1: I've got to follow up to that just as an aside.

1591
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 1: But I've always thought it'd be cool that you know,

1592
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. When I was in college, I

1593
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:43,800
Speaker 1: always wanted to have a wombat, which I think only

1594
01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 1: you can get in Australia. But I just thought it

1595
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,639
Speaker 1: would be cool to have an unusual pet. I like animals, Okay,

1596
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:52,320
Speaker 1: I think animals are cool, So I always wanted to

1597
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:54,679
Speaker 1: have a pet wombat, and then I thought a koala

1598
01:30:54,800 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 1: might be cool, until I found out that they are

1599
01:30:57,080 --> 01:31:01,559
Speaker 1: in fact not friendly and actually really mean little suckers

1600
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 1: and the bite and they have nasty claus. Yeah. So

1601
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:08,640
Speaker 1: I've gone through different phases when I thought, oh, well,

1602
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:11,000
Speaker 1: that would be fun, and occasionally I love In the

1603
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: show Friends, which I'm sure many of you have seen,

1604
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 1: Ross has a pet monkey, although monkeys I've never wanted

1605
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 1: had to have, as I thought it was cool in

1606
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 1: the show. But I've never wanted to have a pet

1607
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:24,600
Speaker 1: monkey because having been around a couple of monkeys, I

1608
01:31:24,760 --> 01:31:29,919
Speaker 1: can tell you that they sometimes will mimic human behavior

1609
01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 1: in ways that you realize this is a little too

1610
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:35,759
Speaker 1: close a little too close for comfort. You know, monkeys

1611
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 1: get jealous, monkeys like to be mischievous monkeys. It's a

1612
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 1: little little different. And I've mentioned before there's a documentary

1613
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 1: called Project Nim and I Am about a couple in

1614
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: New York City that tries to raise a chimpanzee as

1615
01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: well as close to a human child as possible and

1616
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 1: teach the sign language fast an aiding documentary side note,

1617
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 1: But I'm always would be cool to have a pet. Recently,

1618
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:10,439
Speaker 1: I've been following an account on Instagram of Juniper Fox,

1619
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,200
Speaker 1: which is a pet fox. I think foxes are super

1620
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:15,600
Speaker 1: cool and I've always wanna have a pet fox. So

1621
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 1: when I saw this story, it really resonated with me.

1622
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 1: And the story is about somebody in Clearwater, Florida who

1623
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: has an emotional support squirrel. This guy save Ryan Boylan,

1624
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:36,280
Speaker 1: saved his little friend Brutus, who is a squirrel, from

1625
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 1: a hurricane Matthew when it was just a little baby squirrel.

1626
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:43,639
Speaker 1: And now he's become really really attached to the squirrel.

1627
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 1: And if you see the photos of this, it's very cute,

1628
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 1: and you know he's gotten this is his pet. This

1629
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 1: is now like his little dog, except it's obviously a

1630
01:32:52,439 --> 01:32:55,559
Speaker 1: rodent with a bushey tail, and they're trying to get

1631
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:58,080
Speaker 1: rid of there, trying to evict him now because they

1632
01:32:58,160 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 1: say the squirrel is an exotic pet. You know, I

1633
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:03,720
Speaker 1: think this is unfair. And in New York City, I

1634
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 1: mentioned you can't see I know the laws about this.

1635
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: You can't have a pet hedgehog. Uh, you can't have

1636
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 1: a pet micro pig. But now they're they're telling you

1637
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:16,040
Speaker 1: that here in Florida, you can't have a a a

1638
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:20,639
Speaker 1: support squirrel, that our pet squirrel at all. He applied

1639
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 1: for the paperwork to have this be a an emotional

1640
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: support dog. He says he has PTSD because of a

1641
01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:29,320
Speaker 1: car crash, and so he's trying to get around the

1642
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:31,720
Speaker 1: rules and regulations. And I don't know if he has

1643
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 1: PTSD or not. That's not the point. He's obviously trying

1644
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: to use the regulations in his favor here. But I

1645
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,080
Speaker 1: think the guy should be allowed to keep his his

1646
01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:41,640
Speaker 1: little pet squirrel. I think it's I think it's cute that,

1647
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 1: you know, he's so close to a squirrel. I think

1648
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:45,200
Speaker 1: we kind of a fun little pet. If you had

1649
01:33:45,240 --> 01:33:48,720
Speaker 1: a hamster or guinea pig or something, nobody would think

1650
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 1: it was a big deal. But this guy will We'll

1651
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,160
Speaker 1: see what ends up happening. But it's really the photos.

1652
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:54,760
Speaker 1: If you can see it online, if you type an

1653
01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:58,439
Speaker 1: emotional support squirrel, I'm sure it'll pop up. But it's

1654
01:33:58,520 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty it's pretty cute. And my little sister, who

1655
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:04,720
Speaker 1: is a lawyer and an animal a big animal advocate,

1656
01:34:05,280 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 1: was like telling me that she wishes she could support

1657
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 1: you know, she could represent this guy pro bono, you know,

1658
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:13,760
Speaker 1: because he's such a you know, he's an animal lover

1659
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 1: and uh wants to keep his emotion. I've never heard

1660
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 1: of an emotional support squirrel before. That's the first. But anyway,

1661
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:22,080
Speaker 1: it's cute. Alright, Team I know, I know, I'm jumping

1662
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:24,160
Speaker 1: around all kinds of topics here. It's the third hour,

1663
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, we're all stretching out, having a little fun.

1664
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 1: I'll be back with a much more, including Team buck

1665
01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:33,679
Speaker 1: Speaks coming up. We'll see My parents listen to this show.

1666
01:34:34,360 --> 01:34:36,800
Speaker 1: So that is one of the reasons why I am

1667
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:40,560
Speaker 1: always on my my best verbal behavior. You know, no

1668
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 1: no potty mouth stuff going on here. But they are

1669
01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 1: avid listeners and have been since the Saturday show. Because

1670
01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:52,639
Speaker 1: my mom and dad are the awesomest. But my mom

1671
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:54,920
Speaker 1: pointed something out to me when I spoke to her

1672
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:57,800
Speaker 1: earlier today, and that is that I gotta come clean

1673
01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:59,519
Speaker 1: with all of you. I did not tell you the

1674
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: full story, the the full details of the docks and

1675
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 1: attack as it were. Everything I told you was true,

1676
01:35:10,960 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 1: but I left out a second part of the story,

1677
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:18,560
Speaker 1: which if you missed yesterday, I was at a I

1678
01:35:18,760 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 1: was at a baby shower in the suburbs and very crowded,

1679
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 1: very nice party, lots of people there, and I lifted

1680
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:32,799
Speaker 1: up to just get acquainted with the most ancient, gray

1681
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 1: arthritic docks anyone has ever seen in their in their life. Uh.

1682
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:42,759
Speaker 1: And it looked it looked so old and so frail

1683
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:46,600
Speaker 1: as to be particularly cute. It did not occur to

1684
01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:49,920
Speaker 1: me that also, being old and frail, it maybe didn't

1685
01:35:49,960 --> 01:35:52,400
Speaker 1: want to be picked up off the ground, off the carpet.

1686
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 1: And so I lifted it up, and it almost took

1687
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 1: a piece out of my face, and I almost dropped

1688
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,040
Speaker 1: it on the ground. Owned And the whole experience was

1689
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:08,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of canine traumatizing, uh, a canine traumatization.

1690
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:12,439
Speaker 1: It was not the best. But there was some follow

1691
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 1: up to that story as well. So after I had

1692
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:19,719
Speaker 1: tried to play it cool and not let anyone see

1693
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,760
Speaker 1: that I was the The duf is straight out of

1694
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 1: Meet the Parents, right, This is very much a Meet

1695
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: the Parents. Remember Mr Jinksy jinks the cat and you

1696
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,120
Speaker 1: know whether he could he could milk the cat and

1697
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:34,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff from I have to say, I think

1698
01:36:34,240 --> 01:36:37,320
Speaker 1: that's ben Stiller's maybe that, and there's something about Mary,

1699
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,960
Speaker 1: but that maybe Meet the Parents maybe ben Stiller's best

1700
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 1: thing that he has ever done. It's certainly up there.

1701
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:46,559
Speaker 1: I'm not a Ben Stiller fan particularly, but I think

1702
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 1: that movie has some really great stuff in it. But anyway,

1703
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 1: it was very Meet the Parents. I was a little

1704
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 1: bit a little bit embarrassed, and so I am wandering

1705
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:58,200
Speaker 1: around the party trying to play it cool. This is

1706
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 1: the part I didn't tell you yesterday. And sure enough

1707
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:05,519
Speaker 1: I h and it's raining outside. It it's a pretty

1708
01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 1: steady rain outside. It's cold, rainy day out in the

1709
01:37:09,320 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 1: bourbs in New Jersey. And I get by the front

1710
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:19,960
Speaker 1: door and sure enough I find myself in a little

1711
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:24,479
Speaker 1: vestibule and I hear a growl. Oh, and I should

1712
01:37:24,479 --> 01:37:28,840
Speaker 1: also know that the docks and this this little little

1713
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:33,920
Speaker 1: grizzled demon was also its eyes I think had cataracts

1714
01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 1: because his eyes were a little cloudy. I know, I

1715
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:38,599
Speaker 1: really I should not have touched this dog. Okay, fine,

1716
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 1: but it's eyes were a little cloudy, so I don't

1717
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:43,200
Speaker 1: think he could see very well. I think they told

1718
01:37:43,280 --> 01:37:45,479
Speaker 1: us later on, I found out that the dog is

1719
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:48,200
Speaker 1: known to bite and it's partially blind. So okay, I

1720
01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:50,560
Speaker 1: wish I had known that ahead of time. But the

1721
01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 1: dogs like fifteen, so everyone just kind of deals with it,

1722
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, or or twenty or however old. It is

1723
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 1: like the oldest dog I've ever seen. And I am

1724
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 1: in this little vestibule area. Oh. I was trying to

1725
01:38:01,800 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 1: get cell service. And I walked into this vestibule area

1726
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: of the house and there's no way in, a no

1727
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 1: way out except the front door. And there are some

1728
01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:11,559
Speaker 1: people gathered around the general area, but I'm the only

1729
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:13,880
Speaker 1: one in the vestibule. And all of a sudden, I

1730
01:38:14,000 --> 01:38:22,519
Speaker 1: hear and I look over and the little ancient gray

1731
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:27,800
Speaker 1: docksined fellow, little little docks and demon has it can

1732
01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: smell me and has followed me to the front door.

1733
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,400
Speaker 1: And this is after the whole scenario where I tried

1734
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 1: to pick him up, and he tried to bite my

1735
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:38,400
Speaker 1: face off, and he has cornered me in the vestibule.

1736
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:40,400
Speaker 1: Now I know what some of you are thinking, Buck,

1737
01:38:40,479 --> 01:38:45,040
Speaker 1: this is the whimpiest story ever because it's a docks in, Like,

1738
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: what's it going to do? But you have to understand,

1739
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,519
Speaker 1: I'm at a cocktail party or a baby shower. People

1740
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:53,360
Speaker 1: are drinking cocktails. I'm in a baby shower. It is

1741
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:56,880
Speaker 1: packed with people. The dog isn't growling at anybody else.

1742
01:38:57,320 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 1: The dog hasn't cornered anybody else. The dog has decided

1743
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:05,000
Speaker 1: that it will corner me in the vestibule. And I

1744
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 1: have two options here. Walk past the dog. There's no

1745
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:11,839
Speaker 1: other way to go and deal with it, not just growling,

1746
01:39:11,880 --> 01:39:15,719
Speaker 1: but perhaps now trying to bite my ankles and maybe

1747
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 1: latches onto my soccer, my pants or something. And now

1748
01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 1: I've got the oldest docks in the world biting me

1749
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 1: and making a scene in front of a hundred people

1750
01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 1: at a baby shower. Okay, And no one's gonna think

1751
01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:29,880
Speaker 1: the docks in is being mean. They're gonna think what

1752
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:33,880
Speaker 1: did you do to the docks? And so yes, as

1753
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:35,640
Speaker 1: I told my parents, and now I'm sharing with you.

1754
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:39,720
Speaker 1: I chose the other option. I went with Plan B

1755
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:44,720
Speaker 1: here and I just walked outside into the rain. There

1756
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:47,439
Speaker 1: was no cover or anything, and stood in the rain

1757
01:39:48,000 --> 01:39:50,840
Speaker 1: while the docks and continued to growl until it finally

1758
01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:55,560
Speaker 1: lost interest and left the vestibule. So to avoid a

1759
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:59,760
Speaker 1: nine pound, hundred year old dog, I stood outside in

1760
01:39:59,800 --> 01:40:03,560
Speaker 1: the rain and got pretty drenched at a party. So

1761
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 1: these are the lessons that we learn in life, my friends.

1762
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:09,600
Speaker 1: These are the uh, these are the things that we

1763
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 1: should be well, these are the things that all of

1764
01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:14,040
Speaker 1: you are like. I already knew that book. You don't

1765
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 1: pick up some old dog. You don't know. I know.

1766
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm like a kid, and I get excited when I

1767
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: see a dog. But I've learned my lessons, and I

1768
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,479
Speaker 1: will tell you that docksins are are no longer on

1769
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 1: my list, not that they ever were, but you know,

1770
01:40:28,760 --> 01:40:31,439
Speaker 1: weener dogs or sausage dogs or whatever you call them,

1771
01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: no no longer on my list. And that's the that's

1772
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 1: the full story. We'll get Team buck speaks here in

1773
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 1: just a minute. Stay with me, Team Bucks Speaks. It

1774
01:40:40,920 --> 01:40:43,920
Speaker 1: is time, my friends, for us to get into what

1775
01:40:44,240 --> 01:40:46,719
Speaker 1: you think about everything going on here in the freedom.

1776
01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 1: Hut uh, not including the phone calls that we've already

1777
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:54,240
Speaker 1: had but written form. Let's get into it. Uh. This

1778
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: is perfect follow up to the story. I just told

1779
01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:02,679
Speaker 1: you that, Susan writes in docs equals carpet shark. Well, Susan,

1780
01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. That little guy was

1781
01:41:05,560 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 1: mean man. He had sharp little teeth too, and he

1782
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:13,320
Speaker 1: moved around silently like a like a tiger shark under

1783
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:17,080
Speaker 1: the water. He was he was scary. I'm not getting

1784
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:18,840
Speaker 1: the docs in. They're off the list that much. I

1785
01:41:18,920 --> 01:41:22,000
Speaker 1: will say. I'm not trying to offend anybody out there,

1786
01:41:22,080 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: but I'm sorry. I'm not a poodle person either. I

1787
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:26,840
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I just I can't get

1788
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 1: excited about poodles. There are very few dogs and I'm

1789
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:33,120
Speaker 1: like me and poodles are in that category. I know

1790
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be really smart. And I'm not talking

1791
01:41:35,560 --> 01:41:37,560
Speaker 1: about because the weird haircuts they get, you know, to

1792
01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:40,080
Speaker 1: each his own. I'm just talking about the breed is

1793
01:41:40,120 --> 01:41:42,680
Speaker 1: not one of my favorites. But all other dogs I love,

1794
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 1: and really even poodles I like. All right, Donald writes

1795
01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 1: in with the actually, no, I'm sorry, Chris writes in

1796
01:41:49,920 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 1: with the following, Dude, coming from a linguist, I've lived

1797
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:58,519
Speaker 1: in Germany for twenty three years. Honed equals dog, not hound,

1798
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 1: though the pooch could be class to fight as a hound.

1799
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 1: Just saying okay, Chris fair point yeah, technically a Junda's dog,

1800
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 1: but I mean hound dog and hounder. It's like saying

1801
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 1: dog versus KNA. I mean they're kind of interchangeable. But

1802
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:16,439
Speaker 1: point taken very good. So you's your German for twice

1803
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 1: or three years. You can actually speak the language, unlike me,

1804
01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: who just tries to make fun of the language a

1805
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:25,560
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah uh. Donald now writes in with the

1806
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,560
Speaker 1: following I hear you here up in Alaska on k

1807
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 1: E and I the roally More accusers seem politically motivated

1808
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: when More ran for the Alabama Supreme Court, I don't

1809
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 1: recall these types of accusations. Now, with several soft Republicans

1810
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,760
Speaker 1: already in the Senate, the stakes are more critical. I

1811
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 1: think the stories maybe political fabrications. It is appalling that

1812
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 1: the time to go to court on the criminal allegations

1813
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 1: has already passed, but the accusations are slanderous if not true.

1814
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 1: All right, Donald We've spent a lot of time on

1815
01:42:56,880 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 1: this and heard a lot of opinions, and I appreciate

1816
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:03,960
Speaker 1: you share yours on that. Amy very different perspective on

1817
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:07,280
Speaker 1: this rights in the following No, No, No. In a

1818
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:11,320
Speaker 1: small town, they literally get away with murder. People I

1819
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:14,200
Speaker 1: went to high school with became coaches, They got high

1820
01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:18,320
Speaker 1: school students pregnant, they got promoted. To principle, small town

1821
01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 1: politics in the Deep South are dirtier than a pig

1822
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:24,800
Speaker 1: in the mud. Vile things were perpetrated by leaders in

1823
01:43:24,920 --> 01:43:28,160
Speaker 1: my town, and nothing ever got done, and people got

1824
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:32,040
Speaker 1: re elected. I'm guessing it's the same in Judge Moore's town.

1825
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: He totally could have molested his way to a judge ship.

1826
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:40,840
Speaker 1: He was the d A and very very powerful. Prosecutorial

1827
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: discretion is real and small Southern towns they can make

1828
01:43:44,640 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 1: anything disappear if you're willing to help them out. Bill

1829
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 1: Clinton started in the South, well, Amy pulling no punches there.

1830
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:55,800
Speaker 1: In her analysis of what's going on with the whole

1831
01:43:55,920 --> 01:43:59,240
Speaker 1: Judge Moore situation, I've never lived in a small town.

1832
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:01,120
Speaker 1: I can only see to it from the perspective of

1833
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:04,400
Speaker 1: somebody who reads about and has spent some time in

1834
01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:08,200
Speaker 1: small towns. But Amherst College technically as a small town

1835
01:44:08,479 --> 01:44:11,600
Speaker 1: or the town of Amherst is small. But I was

1836
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:13,519
Speaker 1: in a college. It didn't really count. I wasn't a

1837
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:15,400
Speaker 1: part of what was going on. Although I should note

1838
01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:18,960
Speaker 1: that the town council did the true story. The town

1839
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:24,160
Speaker 1: council did pass a measure to ban the usage of

1840
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:29,680
Speaker 1: nuclear devices inside town limits. So the town had a population,

1841
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:33,599
Speaker 1: a non college population of a few thousand, no nukes allowed.

1842
01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:37,320
Speaker 1: They said. They also flew the United Nations flag on

1843
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:41,720
Speaker 1: the same pole as the U. S flag, just because, uh,

1844
01:44:41,880 --> 01:44:43,760
Speaker 1: if memory serves or was that? I think it might

1845
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:45,760
Speaker 1: even been hired in the U. S. Flag. There were

1846
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:47,320
Speaker 1: there were some weird stuff going on with it, but

1847
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:49,280
Speaker 1: there was definitely a U. N flag in the town.

1848
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:52,160
Speaker 1: But I don't have any experience of a small town.

1849
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 1: I will say this though, I'm amazed at how many

1850
01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 1: of my New York acquaintances and I saw the stuff

1851
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:01,479
Speaker 1: on sn all over the weekend. I saw clips of it.

1852
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't watch s n AL live, but I'm amazed

1853
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 1: at how many of them will just ruthlessly mock. I mean,

1854
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:13,160
Speaker 1: there is a real derision and condescension in places like

1855
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:18,479
Speaker 1: New York, DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco and others.

1856
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a real condescension about Southern accents from

1857
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:26,200
Speaker 1: some coastal coastal elites. And I think it's interesting because

1858
01:45:26,200 --> 01:45:28,560
Speaker 1: they just assume that because I'm from New York and

1859
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't have an accent, that that, you know, I

1860
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:34,560
Speaker 1: am okay with them saying this stuff. I kind of

1861
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:38,759
Speaker 1: want to tell them sometimes my whole family, on one side,

1862
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 1: there were plenty of accents. I had a grandmother who's always,

1863
01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, get over, hey, I'm gonna tell you about

1864
01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, straight out of Virginia and had

1865
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: the whole thing, you know. So I have Southern twang

1866
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:54,280
Speaker 1: in my family on one side, straight up, so I

1867
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:58,280
Speaker 1: do not share the feelings of some of my uh,

1868
01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 1: some of my fellow New Yorkers about oh Southern accent.

1869
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:07,679
Speaker 1: Look at look at these uh these rubes like Jeff Sessions.

1870
01:46:08,120 --> 01:46:11,680
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Jeff Session sounds like one of my one

1871
01:46:11,720 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 1: of my cousins. Actually, so why don't we why don't

1872
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 1: we step off a little bit. It's very interesting to

1873
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:20,400
Speaker 1: see how the assumptions are made about people here in

1874
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:23,719
Speaker 1: New York and elsewhere. Uh. And there are assumptions about

1875
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:26,360
Speaker 1: other people anyway. Yeah, So if you didn't know that

1876
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:30,639
Speaker 1: I had my dad's mom, my dad's brother deep deep

1877
01:46:30,760 --> 01:46:35,040
Speaker 1: Virginia accents. Uh. And my dad's dad was from South Dakota,

1878
01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 1: so whatever that accent is, he had that too. All Right,

1879
01:46:39,479 --> 01:46:43,840
Speaker 1: we've got John writes in Roy Moore. So John's taking

1880
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:47,400
Speaker 1: the political first approach to the whole Roy Moore situation.

1881
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:50,800
Speaker 1: John writes in you know, Roy Moore needs to win

1882
01:46:51,000 --> 01:46:55,080
Speaker 1: first and then possibly step aside so GOP governor can replace.

1883
01:46:55,680 --> 01:47:00,160
Speaker 1: Otherwise Democrats win. Why is the GOP so stupid it's

1884
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,680
Speaker 1: too late to change the ballot? You know, John, I

1885
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,880
Speaker 1: will say that there are multiple conversations happening right now

1886
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:09,599
Speaker 1: about the whole Roy Moore situation, and the left wants

1887
01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:12,519
Speaker 1: to make it all one conversation and boil it down

1888
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:17,160
Speaker 1: to this. If you don't assume that Judge Moore is

1889
01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:20,559
Speaker 1: guilty of all of this, you are defending pedophilia. That's

1890
01:47:20,560 --> 01:47:22,519
Speaker 1: what the left wants to say, That's what they want

1891
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:26,120
Speaker 1: the narrative to be. But there are really two different

1892
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:31,000
Speaker 1: conversations going on on the right now about what should

1893
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,160
Speaker 1: be done about Roy Moore, you have on the one hand,

1894
01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:36,840
Speaker 1: is he guilty or not of these accusations. There will

1895
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:39,560
Speaker 1: be no court process. That will only be judged in

1896
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:41,800
Speaker 1: the court of public opinion. And I know there's a

1897
01:47:41,840 --> 01:47:44,280
Speaker 1: debate about that, and I've been reading and taking calls

1898
01:47:44,400 --> 01:47:47,400
Speaker 1: from many of you who just don't believe it. Then

1899
01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:51,719
Speaker 1: there's another level of in a bare knuckle political environment

1900
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 1: like the one that we have in this country right now,

1901
01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:57,840
Speaker 1: where one Senate vote can be the difference between a

1902
01:47:58,120 --> 01:48:03,160
Speaker 1: massive legislative change or a massive legislative repeal, for example,

1903
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 1: of Obamacare, do we need to just hold our noses,

1904
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:10,839
Speaker 1: say that you know, we can't know innocent until proven guilty,

1905
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:14,559
Speaker 1: and just do what has to be done here to win.

1906
01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:18,000
Speaker 1: I should note that I I brought up Moe Brooks.

1907
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 1: Moe Brooks, the Congressman, has come out with a statement

1908
01:48:21,160 --> 01:48:25,040
Speaker 1: that he basically takes that position that look, if I

1909
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:29,160
Speaker 1: haven't heard anybody say that if More is guilty of

1910
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:32,599
Speaker 1: this definitively and More admits it, that he shouldn't step down.

1911
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:35,560
Speaker 1: What I've heard are people saying a variation of I

1912
01:48:35,600 --> 01:48:38,800
Speaker 1: don't believe he's guilty at all, or I don't believe

1913
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 1: he's guilty enough or I'm not certain enough about his

1914
01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 1: guilt that I believe that he should step down and

1915
01:48:46,080 --> 01:48:48,880
Speaker 1: possibly hand this seat to a Democrat when this whole

1916
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:52,680
Speaker 1: thing could have been either exaggerated or fabricated. Those are

1917
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:54,960
Speaker 1: the arguments that I'm hearing out there. I do not

1918
01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:57,479
Speaker 1: hear this other argument about, oh, well, you know, if

1919
01:48:57,560 --> 01:48:59,880
Speaker 1: Judge Moore did this, it's not a big deal. I

1920
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 1: haven't heard anybody say that, and certainly nobody that I

1921
01:49:03,520 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 1: respect is taking that point of view on this. But

1922
01:49:07,120 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 1: we got more on this. I knew he would. T

1923
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 1: J writes in in regards to the roy More ordeal.

1924
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:15,680
Speaker 1: I tend to believe there's truth on both sides, that

1925
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,200
Speaker 1: some or all of this may be true, and that

1926
01:49:18,320 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 1: this is a political hit job. There's nothing better than

1927
01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:25,080
Speaker 1: a hit job. That's true. Right, But think about this scenario.

1928
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:27,840
Speaker 1: Let's say he still manages to win the election, but

1929
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:31,080
Speaker 1: the Senate refuses to let him in. What happens then

1930
01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:33,639
Speaker 1: they don't give the seat to a Democrat, do they?

1931
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:35,840
Speaker 1: I would assume that they would have to do another

1932
01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 1: special election. Of course, in such a situation, the people

1933
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:42,320
Speaker 1: of Alabama would be so upset with the establishment that

1934
01:49:42,400 --> 01:49:45,880
Speaker 1: they wouldn't put Strange back in and hence Moe Brooks

1935
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 1: becomes the next Alabama Senator? Is this far fetched or plausible?

1936
01:49:50,439 --> 01:49:52,800
Speaker 1: This from t J t J. I'll be honest with you,

1937
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to look into what the

1938
01:49:55,280 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 1: rules and the what the current regulations on the books

1939
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:02,720
Speaker 1: say about how this would go. I believe that even

1940
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: if he wins the election, the Senate could well, I know,

1941
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:08,439
Speaker 1: the Senate could with a two thirds vote, decide to

1942
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: kick him out. So then the question becomes what would

1943
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 1: happen then? And I think that they would have to

1944
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 1: have another special election, so, you know, beyond that and

1945
01:50:21,439 --> 01:50:24,640
Speaker 1: any parliamentary Senate parliamentary issues that come up. I don't know.

1946
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not somebody who's you know, I wasn't like

1947
01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:29,560
Speaker 1: a Senate, a Senate staffer or anything. I don't know

1948
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 1: how that would work, But I'll look into it a

1949
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 1: bit more. Robert writes in something a little Different here,

1950
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:40,320
Speaker 1: look up Ted Stevens, Alaska. The Lib FEDS set him

1951
01:50:40,439 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 1: up and found him guilty. He lost the two thousand

1952
01:50:43,240 --> 01:50:46,720
Speaker 1: and eight election. One fed committed suicide. Then the case

1953
01:50:46,840 --> 01:50:51,560
Speaker 1: was overturned on appeal for the FEDS. Um, yeah, no,

1954
01:50:51,680 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 1: I know, Robert, I know that they knew about the

1955
01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:57,640
Speaker 1: FED who committed suicide. One of the prosecutors, I think,

1956
01:50:57,720 --> 01:51:00,639
Speaker 1: because he realized that he had completely on his career

1957
01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:04,360
Speaker 1: away by withholding exculpatory evidence. For those who don't know,

1958
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:07,960
Speaker 1: it had to do with improvements to Senator Stevens home,

1959
01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:11,479
Speaker 1: and it was clear from an exchange he had that

1960
01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,519
Speaker 1: he thought that, you know, he was gonna be I mean,

1961
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm now maybe a little hazy on the specifics, but

1962
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:19,720
Speaker 1: he thought that he either would pay for the repairs

1963
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:21,680
Speaker 1: or that he wanted to know the full cost of

1964
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:25,599
Speaker 1: the improvements and repairs to his home. And that then

1965
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:28,200
Speaker 1: changed the whole notion of the quid pro quo. And

1966
01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:30,720
Speaker 1: the prosecutors knew this, and they hit it. They hit

1967
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:33,479
Speaker 1: it from the jury. They hit it from from their

1968
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: obligation under UH to disclose this, to disclose that information.

1969
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:42,120
Speaker 1: All right, we get one more here, Frontier Renaissance right said,

1970
01:51:42,120 --> 01:51:43,560
Speaker 1: Hey there, let me know if you actually read this,

1971
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 1: I have zero interest in getting credit for this. I'm

1972
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:49,560
Speaker 1: pretty sure nobody else made this observation. But doesn't it

1973
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:52,600
Speaker 1: seem like a version of what might be Revenge of

1974
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:56,400
Speaker 1: the Nerds. Right now, with our politics, the jocks strike back.

1975
01:51:56,840 --> 01:51:59,200
Speaker 1: Trump is the jock and everybody else is the nerd

1976
01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 1: nerds when he sees Democrats, that's what it looks like,

1977
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:05,960
Speaker 1: he screams to me, So funny. I hope this makes sense.

1978
01:52:06,400 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm pretty drunk. Well uh well, Frontier Renaissance. I hope

Speaker 1: that you hydrated and if you had a little bit

1980
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:17,160
Speaker 1: of a hangover you slept it off. That makes sense.

1981
01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 1: I can't say that I totally buy into your political

1982
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:22,839
Speaker 1: analysis on this one, but I do like any reference

1983
