1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of the Buck Sexton Show.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: We are very pleased now to be joined by our

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: friend Sean Davis. He is the CEO of The Federalist,

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: which is one of my favorite sites of Federalist dot com.

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: Go check it out yourself. Sean pulls no punches, knows

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: lots of stuff. A very astute and feisty fellow, mister

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Sean Davis. Good to have you on.

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Good to be on. Thank you for having me.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: So as as we see here discussing this, you no

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: doubt saw that Donald Trump is now on the hook

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: for I think it's almost five million dollars because of

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: this Egene Carol suit civil suit in New York. He

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: was not found liable for rape, but he was for

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: defamation and a sexual assault, but not rising the level

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: of rape. Is my understanding of how this judgment came down.

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: I want your reaction to that. And then also, are

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: they just gonna are they just gonna basically tie this

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: guy up with lawsuits and criminal charges and all kinds

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: of stuff in a way that makes a mockery of

20
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: the entire judicial system, Like, what do you think the

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: plan is here for the law fair against Trump going

22
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty four.

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: Oh, however bad you think it is, I promise you

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: it's worse because it's not constrained to Trump. Now obviously

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: they're never going to leave him alone ever again, because

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: they're using him as an example to all other Republicans

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: that if you go off the reservation, if you don't

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: stay where you need to be, we will destroy you.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: We'll come at you with grand jury's in Georgia and

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: New York. We'll have a special counsel at the Federal

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: DJ coming after you. You will never have a RESTful night's

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: sleep again. You will always wonder, You'll always be looking

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: over your back, wondering if we're coming, how we're going

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: to get you next. But here's the thing. It doesn't

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: stop at Donald Trump. It's not like they're going to

36
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: get rid of Donald Trump. And some have be like, okay,

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: back to an even playing field, no more Shenanigan's, We're good.

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Just look at what they've done with Jason. They are

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: criminalizing opposition itself to the regime. They're throwing in prison.

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: I think one guy for fourteen or fifteen years, he

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: never even entered the Capitol, He never even went into

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: the building on j six. They're trying to throw them,

43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: put them away for fifteen years. So people need to

44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: understand it doesn't matter if you hate Trump, this doesn't

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: stop with him. The left is insatiable. They want total control.

46
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: It's why they're coming after people's kids. It's why they're

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: coming after you on social media. It's why they're censoring you.

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: It's why they're throwing people in prison for a protest

49
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: while letting their own people set fire to cities across

50
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: the nation. They are criminalizing any opposition to their regime,

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: and people need to understand it's not about Trump, It's

52
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: about opposition to them. And if they can get Trump,

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: they can get anyone, including you.

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Do you think that they're going to try to not

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: only press additional criminal charges. I have to keep reminding

56
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: it almost sounds so crazy when you say it, right,

57
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: they're already trying to They've launched what is it, thirty

58
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: felonies or something, or twenty four felonies in New York.

59
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: The most absurd. Now everyone keeps talking about how sort

60
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: of is I worry that a New York jury. I mean,

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: we just saw one New York jury find against Trump

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: in a civil trial for which there was really no evidence.

63
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: It was just someone said something and the jury believed

64
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: this individual. Right. I worry what the jury will do

65
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: in the you know, Trump hush money payoff case. But

66
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: there's also Atlanta where there's possible charges coming from that

67
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: district attorney who has it's pretty clear it would be

68
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: something about the election, maybe even racketeering or conspiracy to

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: commit election fraud. There's some crazy stuff that's being talked about.

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: And then there's a special council looking at January sixth

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: and everything else. I bring all that up, Shawn, because

72
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: if they're willing to go to the mat on this

73
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: stuff and just burn down the village in order to

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: save it, right, why wouldn't they try to throw Trump

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: up in prison? He has no immunity from prison.

76
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm sure they're going to I mean, they

77
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: sent the Feds, an arm squad of Feds to his house,

78
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: which they had previously walked through and inspected with him,

79
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: raided his home, took pictures of it, through it on

80
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: the internet, went through his wife's clothes. Yeah, they want

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: this guy and anyone who backed him, and anyone who

82
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: poses them gone forever by hook or crook. And you

83
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: look at New York, you look at DC, you look

84
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: at Atlanta. There's a reason they're picking these venues, and

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: it's because the rule of law in these areas, in

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: these blue cities is debt. If you are a Republican,

87
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: you are getting convicted. If you are a Democrat and

88
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: somehow you end up being charged, you're walking away scott free.

89
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: I mean, just look at the situation with Michael Sussman.

90
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: This was the DNC and Clinton lawyer who was wrung

91
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: up by Durhams and Investigation for pedling false statements to

92
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: the FBI about the russanclusion hoax. They rolled him into

93
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: a DC jury, which is where the crime had to

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: be charged because where it took place. And I think

95
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: they acquitted him like in a day, if not in hours,

96
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: with one of the jurors saying, I don't even know

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: why we're here. This is a waste of time. If

98
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 2: you have the right politics, if you're wearing a blue jersey,

99
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: you're safe in a blue city. Nothing will happen to you.

100
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: You could throw molotov cocktails at cops, you can burn

101
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: down buildings, you can threaten people on a subway. Nothing

102
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: is going to happen to you. But if you are

103
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: wearing a red jersey and you're a Grammar and you

104
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: live out in the middle of nowhere, and you showed

105
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: up the wrong place at the wrong time, they will

106
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: destroy you.

107
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: You know, Sean, I I want to ask you, because

108
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: people ask me this question all the time, Well, what

109
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: do we do given that we know what's coming? How

110
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: do we act? How do we counteract this, this plot,

111
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: this strategy that the Left is as unfolding right now

112
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: I think in front of us with twenty twenty four ahead.

113
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: But just hold that thought for one second, because right

114
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: now I'm sitting here and yes, I have the my

115

136
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: what do you think we do about what's coming? How

137
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: do we mobilize properly? Just on the issue of using

138
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: the law and the DOJ perhaps as a weapon in

139
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: an election year against the Republican nominee who is likely

140
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: to be Donald Trump.

141
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be difficult to pull up,

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: but it's actually simple, and we have to go back

143
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: to the Cold War to understand what has to be done.

144
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: You and I both grew up in the shadow of

145
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: the Cold War, under the specter of the Soviet Union

146
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: nuking us, and the theory that was used to kind

147
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: of keep everyone at bay, to keep everyone from going nuts,

148
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: was mutually assured destruction. The Soviets knew that if they

149
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: launched the first strike, yeah, that's fine, but before the

150
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: missiles even landed here, they were going to be obliterated

151
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: because we had the ability to send just as many

152
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: nuclear missiles over there as they had to send to us.

153
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: We also had a whole bunch of roving submarines around.

154
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: We had second and third strike capability. So everyone new, yeah,

155
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: you know, if we wanted to, we could launch a

156
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: nuke right now, but the result will be we are

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: going to get everything that we love nuke. That's how

158
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: you have to play with the left. They understand power

159
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: and they understand warfare by other means, and unfortunately people

160
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: on the right, especially the Republican leadership class, seem allergic

161
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: to actually fighting and doing things for the country and

162
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: for their voters and Republican leaders whether you're a da

163
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: or a mayor, or a member of Congress, or a

164
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: mid level staffer and a Republican administration, they have to

165
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: understand that. Until the left is made to feel the

166
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: pain of their own rules until they suffer under the

167
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: double standards that they've created for us. They will continue

168
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: to press the boot down on our next until we

169
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: can't even breathe anymore. So I would ask Das in

170
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: red counties, in red cities, why have you not indicted

171
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden? Why have you not hauled Joe Biden before

172
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: a grand jury and indicted him? Because we clearly know

173
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: that facts and law don't matter here. All that matters

174
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: is power. The left is wielding it. And if the

175
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: right ever wants to have its country back, if we

176
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: ever want to have the rule of lawback, we have

177
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: to start playing by their rules until they cry uncle.

178
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: And the thing is, look, I would much rather we

179
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: have the status quo legally that we had twenty years ago,

180
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 2: which is the law is what it says it was.

181
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: You get a fair and partial jury of your peers,

182
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: not a bunch of blue and on pink haired freaks

183
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: in San Francisco or Manhattan. But we don't live in

184
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: that world anymore, and Republicans need to understand that the

185
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 2: world has changed. It's not two thousand and three, it's

186
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: not nineteen ninety three. Reagan's not coming over the horizon

187
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: as the sun breaks to come save us, like we

188
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: need wartime leaders who understand what time it is.

189
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 1: Up on the Federalist, there's a piece by I believe

190
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: it's John Davidson. The culture war isn't the most important

191
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: issue of twenty twenty four, it's the only issue, and

192
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: he goes in to make the case, what do you

193
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: think about the role of what we generally termed culture

194
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: war for this upcoming election? What are the primary battlefields

195
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: to fight on and how do we win?

196
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: Well? I agree with John. I think the culture war

197
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: is everything that used to mean ten or fifteen or

198
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. That was code for abortion or religion,

199
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: but it's not anymore because the left has gained so

200
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: much ground that they are now infiltrating every aspect of

201
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 2: our lives. They want to ban gas stoves, Okay, that's

202
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: the culture war. It's them trying to engineer how you live.

203
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: They're wanting to chop off kids Genitalia so that these

204
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: weird munchaus and moms can get credit for having a

205
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: trans kid. They want to shove nonsensical, ahistorical, racist nonsense

206
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: under the guy of critical race theory down the throats

207
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: of our kids in school. They're taking over college curriculums

208
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: in colleges all over the country. They're wanting to change

209
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: the standards for hiring things like doctors and pilots, which

210
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: are two areas where you know, I want the best

211
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: person possible. I kind of don't care what they look

212
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: like or where they come from. I just want to

213
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 2: know that they're not going to slice me up and

214
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: kill me or fly into a mountain. All these issues

215
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: are the culture war. Whether you have the right to

216
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: defend yourself, whether you actually have the right to a

217
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: jury of your peers, the border, these are culture war issues,

218
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: and they are everything because if you don't have borders,

219
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: if you don't have laws, if you don't have the

220
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: ability to raise your family and your children and to

221
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: defend them in the best way you know possible, you

222
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 2: don't have a free country. And unfortunately, a lot of

223
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,599
Speaker 2: people in the Republican Party just want to wind the

224
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: clock back twenty or thirty years and pretend that the

225
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: only thing we really disagree about is tax rates, Like

226
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: that's the debate they want to have is how many

227
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: tax credits should we have for corporations and should the

228
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 2: top marginal rate thirty five or thirty six, those days

229
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: are over. What we are fighting now is a battle

230
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 2: for the existence of society as we've known it, for

231
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: our constitutional order, and if people on the right don't

232
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: wise up, this thing's going to be over before it

233
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: ever even got started.

234
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Jean, I want to ask you about some of the

235
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Republicans that it seems to me every Republican I talk

236
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: to thinks is absolutely worthless and even despises, and yet

237
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: they keep getting elected. So, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, I

238
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: want to ask you how this happens and what can

239
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: be done about it. We'll get to that in just

240
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: a second. But everybody, how's your energy level these days?

00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: It's powerful stuff. Sean as I was saying, why everyone

263
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: I talked to, Uh, well, I should say it when

264
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: I talk to you. People call in to me constantly,

265
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: email me constantly, and they're saying, you know, they complain

266
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: about Lindsay Graham, they complain about Mitch McConnell, they complain

267
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: about the Rhinos. And then I see that, I go, okay,

268
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: well people are complaining about them, but these guys keep

269
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: getting elected all the time Lindsay Graham's on Fox News

270
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: every five minutes, Like, what do we do? How am

271
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: I supposed to explain to them that as long as

272
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: other Republicans keep voting this way, nothing changes.

273
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really unfortunate, especially with McConnell and Graham, who

274
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: I think of both outlived their usefulness at least in politics.

275
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: You know, it's discouraging to hear, but money and position matter,

276
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: and the machine matters. I think we learned that in

277
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and I really hope we would have learned

278
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: that in twenty twenty two, that when you can control

279
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: the money and you control the machinery, especially in politics,

280
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: it's like ninety percent of the game. I mean, just

281
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: look what the left did with ballots. I don't think

282
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: the country was exactly clamoring for a status quo in

283
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two. But you go in, you find the

284
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: right counties, you find the right swing districts, you throw

285
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: in enough money, you take over the right election offices,

286
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: and as long as you can flood it with ballots,

287
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: you're fine. So I actually think we're facing some fundamental

288
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: crises in government and politics, especially representative government. Right now.

289
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: It's bigger than just the Republican Party. But Republicans need

290
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: to understand you've got to stop electing these losers who

291
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: are content to seem to just open the border and then,

292
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe start a war they have no

293
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: plan to win or finish overseas like they're both doing

294
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: in Ukraine.

295
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: What is it with Ukraine with some Republicans where I understand,

296
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: you know it right for the left Sean we expect

297
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: there to be the thing that they're all told, you know,

298
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: whether it's masking or trans eight year olds who need

299
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: hormones or whatever. Right, they go with what the herd,

300
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: the hive tells them to. And Ukraine has become one

301
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: of these things. Right, Ukraine's supposed to have a Ukraine

302
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: flag up and people couldn't probably still can't find Ukraine

303
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: on a map. Actually, all of a sudden, this is

304
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: the most important struggle in the history of America. And

305
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, why, But why do is the Republicans that

306
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: go along with this? I mean this sort of ties

307
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: into my previous question. Is it just because they want

308
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Is it a donor cash issue? Is it a they

309
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: think it's the nineteen eighties and we're just staring down

310
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: the evil empire again, like, what is this all about?

311
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: Oh? I think you nailed it. I think that's exactly

312
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: what it is. A theme I keep coming back to

313
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: is people in politics not knowing what time it is.

314
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty three, it's not nineteen eighty five. The

315
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: USSR is long gone, it was defeated, it fell under

316
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: its own weight. We have a very different regime in

317
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: Russia now. It might be similarly evil. I'm not going

318
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: to argue that Vladimir Putin is somehow a good guy

319
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: or that thinks they are awesome, But the Soviet Empire

320
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 2: is not the number one foe facing America right now.

321
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: It's China. And so it's odd to see so many

322
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: people who I once considered at least somewhat smart and

323
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: with it act is though it's still the mid eighties

324
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: and we're still fighting the Cold War. No, No, Russia

325
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 2: is a is a third rate ten pot oligarchy in

326
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 2: Central in Eastern Europe and in Central Asia. It's not

327
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: this big behemoths with a whole bunch of weapons just

328
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: waiting to nuke us at any moment. That's China. It's

329
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: not Russia that's coming in and infiltrating our universities. That's China.

330
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: It wasn't Russia that let loose a virus that killed

331
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: millions of people and then covered it up and lied

332
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 2: about it. That was China. Okay, it's not Russia that's

333
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 2: coming in and buying off politicians. That's China. So like

334
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: our problem here is China. That is our number one

335
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: geopolitical foe. And the longer we busy ourselves with this

336
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 2: nonsense in Ukraine, meanwhile we're ignoring our own border. Somehow,

337
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: Ukraine's border is the thing we have to care about,

338
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: but caring about America's borders is racist. You know, our

339
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 2: own country is falling apart. Our military is led by

340
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: a bunch of woke buffoons in the kan which is

341
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: why Afghanistan was such a debacle. And yet we somehow

342
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: think that if we're going to put all our energy

343
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: and focus on Ukraine that we can take on China.

344
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 2: We couldn't even beat a bunch of seventh century goat

345
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: herders in Afghanistan. And it just boggles my mind how

346
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: anyone with a brain can look at the world as

347
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: it's constituted today and say, you know what, where we

348
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: really need to focus our energy and our treasure is Ukraine.

349
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: It's madness.

350
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: I want to get to the border in a second. First, though,

351
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: what do you think because I hear a lot of

352
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: people I was going to say, you know Tucker a

353
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: lot on his show, but you know, not hearing it

354
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: these days, which has pissed off a lot of people.

355
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: I know you were a regular on that show. I

356
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 1: used to do Tucker Show a lot. And we're all

357
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: sitting here like it is interesting that the most prominent

358
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: anti interventionist voice on the right when it comes to

359
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: Ukraine has been sidelined, least for now. Put that aside

360
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: for a moment, but you know, I hear people saying, well,

361
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: I don't like what has gone on in Ukraine to

362
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: the degree that Biden and the corruption all that. Okay,

363
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: what is the what should the policy be? Though it

364
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: seems like everyone I shouldn't say everyone. Most people seem

365
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: to agree we don't put troops there, we don't fight

366
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: the Russians directly, But then all of a sudden it

367
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: turns into we're gonna do a whole lot of other

368
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: stuff that comes pretty damn close to fighting the Russians directly,

369
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: and I hope the Russians don't notice. What do you

370
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: think the policy? If you're going to have an America

371
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: first Ukraine policy, what does it look like.

372
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's an easy one. It's Europe needs

373
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 2: to clean up its own mess. You know, we have

374
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 2: been rolling in in fixing Europe's problems for about ninety

375
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: years now, and frankly, I'm kind of sick of it.

376
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: NATO anymore, although it was envisioned, is a way of

377
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: himming in the Soviet Union. NATO anymore is really just

378
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: an excuse to fleece the US, so a bunch of

379
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: socialist European nations don't have to pay for their own defense.

380
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: So to me, the solution is easy. Europe, it's your

381
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: own day on backyard, mix it yourself, poleash your own backyard,

382
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: polish your own continent, and leave us to deal with

383
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: the problems that we're facing here. And you know, you'll

384
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 2: hear a lot of people say, well, if we don't

385
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: confront Russia and Ukraine, then China will take Taiwan. I'll

386
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 2: tell you right now, the same lessons apply. Taiwan thinks

387
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: we're going to roll in there and ride to their rescue.

388
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: So what do Taiwan in Japan and South Korea do?

389
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: They just wait for US to clean up the mess

390
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: there and take care of it, because why get involved.

391
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 2: It's been your own money. If the US is just

392
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 2: going to come and throw in its weight behind it,

393
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: we were to leave them of their own duty and

394
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: obligation to take care of themselves by doing this nonsense

395
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: where we roll in and we clean up their message

396
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: for them. So I would actually say, the longer run

397
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 2: in Ukraine and the more we backstop Europe, the more

398
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: Taiwan in Japan and South Korea will say, you know what,

399
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 2: we don't really need to deal with China. We don't

400
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: really need to confront them. The US will take care

401
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 2: of it.

402
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: Sean, Let's talk about the border in a second. I

403
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: want to ask you how how much worse it can get,

404
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: because it feels like it's as bad as it can be,

405
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: but actually everyone knows it's going to get worse somehow,

406
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: so we should talk about that. We'll get to it

407
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: in a moment. But you know, the right insurance plan

408
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:12,840

Speaker 1: married guy. Now, guess what, I gotta have a will.

430
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: I you know I'm hoping not to be a pessivist here,

431
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: I'll trying to find the upside of things. But right

432
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: now for the country, I do think that when you

433
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: look at policy and the areas where there's dispute over

434
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: where we should go and how we should go forward

435
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: as a country, there's not a lot that's looking good

436
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: at this moment in time. Right Economy is not looking good.

437
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: We got this war, new crime we're talking about, inflation

438
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: is high. Crime in cities is still way beyond what

439
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: it should be based on the numbers just a few

440
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: years ago. But the border may be the single biggest catastrophe.

441
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: By the numbers and by the reality one hundred thousand

442
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: plus people dying of fentyl overdoses. People forget Sean. There

443
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,479
Speaker 1: was something I think in the early two thousands it

444
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: was like ten thousand people dying a year from all

445
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: opioid overdoses. Now it's over, and I know there's some

446
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: of it as other drugs, but the fentanyl is seventy

447
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: eighty percent and it's over one hundred thousand, So we've

448
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: seen an eight x increase in this plus the millions

449
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: of illegals coming in. I mean, Title forty two ends

450
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: this week. What happens now.

451
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: Well, we go from a border that might still theoretically

452
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 2: exist to having one that's been completely dissolved. And this

453
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 2: is being done intentionally. The Left has decided that borders

454
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: are racist, that America is an idea and an economic zone,

455
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: not an actual defined area with set rules of law,

456
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: and they've just set about dissolving the border, dissolving the

457
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: rule of law, and importing as many people as they

458
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: think will one day be part of their party as

459
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: they can. I mean, it's as simple as that. And

460
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: I get not wanting to be pessimistic, but I feel

461
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: like at this point in the American experiment, we kind

462
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: of have to look at the body politic like a

463
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: doctor would look at a patient who's sick. You need

464
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: your doctor to examine you, take your blood, looks at

465
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: your vitals, and tell you the truth about what you're facing,

466
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 2: whether it might be cancer or liver disease or heart

467
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 2: disease or something like that. And I feel like that's

468
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: where we are right now. We need to have a

469
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 2: very honest discussion in diagnosis of the body that is

470
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: America right now, because if we can't even agree on

471
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: what the problems are, we're never going to fix them,

472
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: and so we need to be really honest and very

473
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: frank about what's happening. We are being besieged by the left.

474
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: It's waging its own mouth style cultural revolution on every

475
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: single front. They control the big companies, they control big tech,

476
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 2: they control academia, they control the military, they control the

477
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: intel services, they control the government, they control Hollywood. Okay,

478
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 2: so it's not just the border. They are, it seems

479
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 2: implementing the program that the Soviets tried and failed to

480
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 2: do during the Cold War to subvert all of our

481
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: institutions against us. And the right needs to wake up

482
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 2: and understand you either have to take these institutions back

483
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: or you have to build up your own from scratch,

484
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: because the way they are now, they are going to

485
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 2: crush you. That's that's why cancel culture, why the obsession

486
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: with political correctness is so important, because the cultural power

487
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: the left has is the power to destroy you.

488
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: Right now, do you think that what Elon's doing over

489
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: at Twitter? People, Look, I've been among them. I felt

490
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: like at different times. Hold on a second. You know,

491
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: the shadow banning is still very much, whether it's the

492
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: algorithm or you know, there's some problem here with different accounts.

493
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: I think your account has had problems. I don't. I

494
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: haven't seen your account. I mean, I follow you and

495
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: follow you for years. But do you think there's a

496
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: broader plan here to have a beachhead in the digital

497
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: tyranny that the left has been able to get away

498
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: with really here for years? I mean, how do you

499
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: see that again? I'm trying to find some trying to

500
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: find some positive moments here. I mean, could could Elon

501
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: turn Twitter into something that restores meaningful free speech online?

502
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,479
Speaker 2: I think he could. I think he genuinely wants to.

503
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 2: What I have been told by people inside is that

504
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: the situation there, both staff wise and with the programming

505
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 2: and how the whole algorithm and services coded are so

506
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: much worse than we suspected. And the analogy that I've

507
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: been given is is you know, they're going to need

508
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: to rebuild that entire algorithm, but it's akin to remodeling

509
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 2: your entire house while you're hosting a big party. You

510
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: can't just start from scratch, build it from scratch and

511
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 2: be like today, it's all done. You have to do

512
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: it while still keeping it functioning. And people who I

513
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: know are on our side very much have said, it's

514
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: just a really difficult problem. He's committed to it, he's

515
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: just got to follow through it now. So, like you,

516
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: I've been a critic. You know, I was banned for

517
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 2: reporting on the Nashville shooting accurately. It took an act

518
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: of our favorable all er Arc over there to get

519
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: me unbanned. But you know, that's the situation we're in now.

520
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 2: We don't have free speech the likes of which you

521
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: and I grew up with. We have various oligarchs controlling

522
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: different entities, and right now we have one oligarch who

523
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: seems to be somewhat on our side. So it's not ideal.

524
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 2: I'll take it because it's better than having all of

525
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 2: them a rayed against us.

526
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: I didn't even know about this. You were kicked off

527
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: of Twitter for reporting on the Nashville shooting, right, Yeah.

528
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: I was banned for I want to say, the good

529
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 2: part of a week, for sharing a news story about

530
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 2: the trans Day of Vengeance that was planned just days

531
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: after went and decided to murder three nine year olds

532
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: and three Christian staff at the Covenant School.

533
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 1: Why do you think they haven't released as we speak now?

534
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: At least it's been over a month. I think it's

535
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: gone on forty five days close to that. Haven't released

536
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: this manifesto, so.

537
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: We know exactly what I've been calling it, the Tranifesto,

538
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: because that's what it is. You have to understand that

539
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 2: the left feels like they have to control the narrative

540
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: at all costs. If they can control the narrative, they

541
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: can control results. And the narrative they want on shootings

542
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: is that guns are bad. Let's ban all the guns

543
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: because people we don't like are the ones who own

544
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: the guns. So you know that's generally what they fall

545
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: back on. But here you have a completely deranged, evil,

546
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: alleged transperson deliberately planning to go kill and target Christian

547
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: children because of their Christian faith. We know it's in

548
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: that manifesto, they know what's in it, and we know

549
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: exactly why they're not releasing it, and it just fascinates me. It's,

550
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: like you said, been forty five days since that came out,

551
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: but they somehow knew. Within an hour they found this

552
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: new Hispanic white supremacist who is posting on Russian language

553
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: forums talking about lives of TikTok and Tim Poole and boy,

554
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: you know. It just shows how militarized and radicalized these

555
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: right wingers are. They find all that crap in a

556
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: matter of hours, but they can't release this manifesto, which

557
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: we all know says what it says, which is that

558
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: this transgender ideology is being weaponized and targeted towards Christians

559
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: who have just had enough of this nonsensical ideology that

560
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 2: you can change your gender because you feel like you

561
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: were born in the wrong body.

562
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: Are they finally losing you think the left on that

563
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: issue of transgenderism has the has the moment of pushback

564
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: actually come where they're no longer advancing and they're they're

565
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: in a meaningful retreat.

566
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: Oh. I think so. It's why you've seen so many

567
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: states pass these laws making it a crime to perform

568
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: these mutilations on children. I personally think they need to

569
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: ban them for everyone. You wouldn't allow elective amputations or

570
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: elective organ eviscerrations because it's just an awful, awful thing

571
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: to expect from a doctor in a healthcare system. There's

572
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: no reason we should be allowing it for genital stuff

573
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: minor or not. But I do think this is one

574
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: area where you know you can con people on little

575
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: things for a while, but once you start telling him

576
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: that this hideous fat man with a beard and a

577
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: gut is actually a really beautiful, stunning, brave woman. And actually,

578
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: you know, we should be able to tell your kid

579
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: to go chop their genitals off secretly at school without

580
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: you knowing. It appears that that was a bridge too

581
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: far for the Left.

582
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: If there's one issue, Sean, I was gonna say, what

583
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: makes you feel positive? You know what, Let's just skip that.

584
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: Sean's a fighter, folks. Sean is feisty online, he is

585
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: he is a fighter in person, a pugilist. I think

586
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: we could say you're a pugilist in the ideological realm.

587
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: So give me this. Then, what's something that you think

588
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: people need to on our side focus more on and

589
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: fight harder on? Right now?

590
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: I think the best thing our side needs to do

591
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: is just say things that are true. There is the

592
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: Great Souls in It's an essay Living not by Lies

593
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: that Rod Dryer popularized popularized in his book In It

594
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: Souls Nitch and says, the lie has to attach itself

595
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 2: to someone to propagate. It's a parasite. It can't live

596
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: on its own. And you would be shocked how subversive,

597
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,719
Speaker 2: how powerful it is for people to just stand up

598
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: and say I'm not going to be a party to this.

599
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,719
Speaker 2: Conservatives and Republicans tend to be generally quiet people who

600
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: mind their own business. They just want to be left alone.

601
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: They're not the ones going and protesting and having these

602
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: idiotic riots taking time off from work to go piket something.

603
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: But they do need to start realizing you might not

604
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: care about the culture war, but the culture war cares

605
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: about conquering you, and you have to stand up. Whether

606
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: it's at your church, a school board meeting, at a

607
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: store advertising nonsense, whether it's on the internet, whether it's

608
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 2: at a baseball game. People need to stop tolerating lies.

609
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 2: The best thing they can do for our country right

610
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: now is to stop tolerating lies, because lies cannot exist

611
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: without people allowing them to Sean Davis.

612
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: Everybody follow him on Twitter at Sean Davis, and also

613
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: go to the Federalist dot com anything else. Sean anything

614
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: else is going to tell people who go check out

615
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: for what you're doing, well.

616
