WEBVTT - Schiff Gives Away The Scheme 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:14.920 You are entering the freedom hunt. Shift gives away the 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:19.320 game on day two of the Senate impeachment trial. Also, 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:22.800 you got some senators walking out. Libs are furious about that. 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.439 Are we fighting Russia over there? So we don't fight 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.960 them over here? Trump will speak at the March for Life. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.280 Warren promises an intersectional cabinet and a surgical gown. Shortage 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:37.880 means a shortage of surgeries coming up. This is the 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.040 Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:47.760 decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, America, 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:53.920 You're a great American. Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, 0:00:54.080 --> 0:01:03.120 remember the press. Since misconduct cannot be decided at the 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:07.679 ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.000 will be fairly won. Welcome to the Buck Sex and 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.120 show everybody. The single most important moment of the marathon 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:21.759 of Adam Shift's testimony yesterday or not his testimony, speechifying, 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:26.520 his monologuing. It's like he's trying out for a high 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.880 school declamation team. That's what we used to call it. 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.360 It's a speech contest. Who can give the best prepared speech? 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.760 Notice what he said? Okay, this is the guy, the 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:40.639 point man for trying to convince the United States Senate 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:44.759 to remove a president of the United States do elected 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:50.400 by sixty three million votes cast, to try and overturn that, eradicate, 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.960 erase that which can never really happen. I know, right, 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.160 the election happened. Trumps in present for three years, but 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:00.240 they want to undo that fundamental decision to give the 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.360 president in four years, That's true. They want to make 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:08.200 that go away. And so then we ask ourselves what 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.000 really is going on here. We've been asking ourselves that 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:16.040 question every day, and we've been answering it because we know. 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.520 But Adam Schiff gave us the answer in case we 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:24.440 had any questions still lingering, For example, why do we 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.919 have to go through this whole fiasco because the American 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:32.680 people cannot be trusted, cannot be trusted to show their 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:37.880 own judgment about this president and his conduct. The lib elites, 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.320 the political apparatus, former Republicans who are now turn coach, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.799 who go to the other side abandoning something, abandoning principles 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.040 and causes that they claim to have cared about for 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.440 decades of their professional lives. All of those people they 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.359 get to make the decision the left, the Libs, the media, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.760 the deep state, academia, Hollywood, they get a bigger say 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:04.000 than all of you. And oh, by the way, not 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.440 only does Schiff want you to know, as he says 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.200 that this cannot be entrusted to the American people. They 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.040 talk about democracy so much, and yet they're so suspicious 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.920 of democracy, aren't they. It's a system. Democracy alone does 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.880 not give you a good outcome. It's just a process, 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.360 a process for the distribution of political power. As we 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.280 all know. We could sit here and look at times 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.160 in history when there have been very bad outcomes from democracy. 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.200 Most of you are probably saying, yes, that's right, Hitler was. 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:38.720 In fact, democratically elected democracy does not mean good outcomes. 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.880 But you're supposed to respect that process and hope that 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.320 a just people will seek justice in the way they 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.080 cast their votes. Democrats don't view us that way though. 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:55.480 Clearly Adam Schiff thinks you can't be trusted to vote appropriately. Therefore, 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.840 he would like to take away the possibility. He would 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:03.640 like to remove that chance that you'll make the wrong vote, 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:09.640 You'll make the wrong decision vote for Donald Trump's reelection. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.320 Has to stop us, has to cut it off at 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:17.680 the pass can't allow this, and then that last part 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:23.480 of it, we cannot be assured that the vote will 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:33.000 be fairly won. Stunning stuff here. He's already laying the groundwork. 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:37.599 He's already beginning the narrative which has been in the 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:43.640 background of this entire impeachment fiasco, that if Trump wins again, 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:49.520 he didn't win fairly. He must have cheated. There's some 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:55.320 way that he gained the system illicitly, and therefore, what 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.960 do we take from that? He's an illegitimate president, not 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.080 my president. I have said this, I put this out 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.039 on Twitter. I stand by it. I believe Trump will 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.880 win reelection. As you know, I try not to say 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:11.239 that too often. I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.240 but I do believe Trump will win reelection. I also 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.640 believe and here are some other predictions. Maybe we should 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.400 mark some of these down. The House if it maintains 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.800 a Democrat majority, which who knows. I can't predict that 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.560 for you. I don't know. But the House of Representatives, 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.960 if it has a Democrat majority, there'll be some effort 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:31.920 I don't know if it'll be successful or not, some 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:36.880 effort to refuse to certify President Trump's reelection. Maybe eventually 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.120 they'll cave, but they they'll do something. They'll say, oh, no, 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.240 we you know, we can't. We all have a cold, 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.440 we all have the flu, we can't come in and certify. 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.600 I mean, they'll do whatever they have to do to 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:51.200 cast doubt on the legitimacy. They are delegitimizing the very 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:56.200 institutions of government that they pretend to care so much about. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.719 I mean, we were all treated to our own personal 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.279 hell yesterday, those of us who had to watch this 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.240 incredibly boring hearing, which I mean, all of this, the trial, 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.000 the whole thing is so boring. And I'm watching it 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.520 because there are important themes and things that come up 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.640 during it. But it's not an entertaining thing at all. 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.480 Let me say which you're all about the Kavanaugh hearings. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.200 It was gut wrenching. It was like watching an evil 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.799 left wing ritualized torture session of a good man on TV. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:32.279 It was engaging. This isn't even that this is sitting 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.120 there saying I can't believe Adam Schiff thinks he should 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.880 talk so much. I got a glimpse of what hell 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:45.360 is yesterday. Hell is watching Adam Schiff speak for hours, hours, 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:50.640 it seems, upon hours about his newfound love of Ukraine. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:56.800 George Washington, the Constitution in Thomas Payne. That was what 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:01.120 I took from yesterday. I mean, the Democrats usually speak 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.040 about the Constitution as though they're talking about something kind 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.880 of in the way. It's a bit it's usually a 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.479 bit sordid for them, a bit old, a little out 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:16.120 of date, written by evil white males. And yet here 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.480 we are now being told that the Constitution is oh 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:25.680 so sacred and Trump has violated it, and that we 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.640 cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:33.200 You will, my friends, notice a pattern here. The two 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.640 thousand election they claimed was not fairly one because of 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.640 Bush v. Gore. The narrative there was the Supreme Court 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.600 gave the election to George W. Bush. That was what 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.480 we were told, and that really Bush didn't win. There's 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.880 a whole movie, a better an HBO, A preposterous movie 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.200 with Kevin Spacey, by the way, a preposterous movie you 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.920 can go check out. And then, of course in twenty sixteen, 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.720 we didn't really in it was Russia, and now it's 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.000 going to be we didn't, you know, Trump didn't really win. 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:07.160 It's there must be something with Ukraine, or he tried 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:12.280 the same thing. These people are nuts. There is no 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.600 reasoning with them on these issues anymore. I think they 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.720 can't handle the prospect of being so foolish, so easily duped, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:25.560 so stupid, so emotional, that they would rather just live 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.679 in a delusion. They'd rather just live in a world 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.760 where they think that somehow all the things that they 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.320 have believed all this time are true when they clearly 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.920 are not. I mean, who can hear Adam Schiff talk 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:44.880 about the shining City on a hill and not have 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.360 a bit of a queasy feeling in their stomach? Adam 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:54.240 Schiff play clip four, please, producer Mark. We have for 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:59.040 generations been the shining city upon a hill that President 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.760 Reagan described. America is not just a country but also 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.880 an idea. But what worth is that idea if, when tried, 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.880 we do not affirm the values that underpinn it. What 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:17.959 will those nascent democracies around the world conclude that democracy 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:22.160 is not only difficult, but maybe that it's too difficult, 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:27.920 maybe that it's impossible. And who will come to fill 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.320 the void that we leave when the light from that 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:35.120 shining city upon a hill is extinguished. The autocrats with 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:39.800 whom we compete value not freedom and fair elections, but 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:44.880 the unending rule of a repressive executive. Autocrats then value 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:50.160 not freedom of the press and open debate, but disinformation, propaganda, 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.600 and state sanction lies. I mean, is he doing a 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.200 Keith Olberman impression from back in the day, because that's 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.720 a bit of what It reminds me of the level 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:06.040 of pomposity self importance. Perhaps if I speak about things 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.679 in a way that makes it sound so utterly serious, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.760 the American people will be swayed to my case that 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.800 the president didn't actually do anything, but almost did a 0:10:18.920 --> 0:10:23.240 thing that would have resulted in nothing. But it sounds 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:27.040 scary if I talked to you in this voice about it, 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:35.240 and as if it was not clear how absolutely and 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.120 utterly absurd this whole thing is. There was a moment 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:49.800 yesterday when Adam Schiff actually said that we had to 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:55.280 do this. We have to fight in Russia in Ukraine, 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.439 so we don't have to fight them here. Let me 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:02.960 give you the actual exact quote, because I have it. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:07.880 It is so stupid, It is so bizarre and absurd. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.800 And yet do you think the media. Here we go, 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.839 the United States aids Ukraine and her people so they 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.280 can fight Russia over there, and we don't have to 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:24.119 fight Russia here. Is he that desperate for grandiose, sweeping, 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:28.040 utterly moronic phrases that he'll just latch onto anything that 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:33.480 sounds profound because the case is not only absurd but 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:39.679 also pouring. Is that what this is really about? People 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.040 were saying, Oh, he did such a fabulous job yesterday, 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:48.880 a fabulous job describing what exactly that the president asks 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.640 someone to find out information that would have been completely 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.679 legitimate for him to find out about despite Democrats pretending 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.800 that there's no there there. He's allowed to ask a question, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.600 and he's allowed told aid, he's allowed to decide to 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.440 get answers as the commander in chief and as the 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.480 executive in chief of the United States government. And that's 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:15.200 where it really lies, my friends, That's it. After that, 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.560 it's just a question of do you hate this president 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.120 or do you accept this president. Adam Schiff will convince 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.960 you that we have that Ukraine is a critical US 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.320 national security interest, so critical that we wouldn't even give 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.679 them guns under the Obama administration, no lethal aid whatsoever. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.160 Sent them other things, but they wanted guns, they wanted 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.480 lethal aid. That's what they needed because they were in 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:43.239 a war. And now we are to believe these democrats 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.640 who tell us that this is the most important national 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:49.400 security challenge of our time, or one of them a 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.720 critical national security interest. How much are we really supposed 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.559 to care about a border dispute in the east of 0:12:54.679 --> 0:13:00.280 Ukraine involving Russia. Ukraine is not a NATO country, is 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.880 an ally, but Ukraine also has to fight its own battles. 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.280 Have we not learned anything about the last twenty years? 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.720 We're not sending we should not be sending. I should say, 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.319 our soldiers to fight other people's battles all over the 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.800 world anymore. People have to fight their own battles, their 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.680 own interests, at stake, their own safety, their own homes, 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.800 their own lives. It's not for us to always just 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.280 call up our best and bravest Americans and go try 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.280 to solve the rest of the world's problems for them. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:29.959 I would hope we've learned that after lust twenty years. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.640 But Adam Schiff thinks that we're helping fight them there 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.840 so we don't have to fight the Russians. Here is 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.600 he insane? We're not fighting the Russians. But remember he 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:42.760 told you what this whole thing was about, and all 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:48.480 of his all of his long and pompous and self 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:54.280 important nonsense. This is really this is really just a 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:58.320 question of the Democrats recognizing they're probably going to lose 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.000 the next election, and they want you to leave that, 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:02.920 and they want their own base to believe that it's 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:08.959 illegitimate that Trump hasn't Trump cannot legitimately beat them again. 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.480 Of course he can, and I think he will, and 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.640 I don't know how they will handle that, although I 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:19.200 do know that they will fail to certify immediately the 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:21.280 results of the next election, just so they can keep 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.800 this narrative. They can keep these stories going for their base, 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.600 for the crazy left wing loons who you know, want 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:30.400 to believe. Jesse Smollett and Greta Thunberg and there. These 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.400 are people on the left. They get listened to these days, 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.680 believed let's take policy advice, or let's take their word 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:40.880 for it. Adam Schiff, let's listen to that guy. I 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:42.960 remember the Adam Schiff who was telling us that he 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.640 had all the proof of Russia Trump collusion, whatever, happened 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.880 to that. Oh, there was no proof, but he kept 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:54.400 saying there was proof. Guy's a liar. But ultimately anything 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.200 is justifiable from their perspective, because this is all about 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.640 making sure that the next election that they think they 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:05.280 might doesn't count. You see, it never counts when Democrats lose. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:09.320 When the left loses, the system is never important or 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.920 even sacred. When the left loses. There's always some external reason. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.560 And now, like a bunch of cry babies, they have 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:23.000 settled on their favorite one. You cheated, You're in the 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.520 freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sex and Show podcast. 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.760 By most accounts, it was a virtuoso performance that drew 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.880 praise from all sides yesterday. It was a stunning recitation 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:43.120 of the facts that we've together constitutional framing American history 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:47.600 and Donald Trump's laundry list of abuses of power and 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:50.920 obstruction of Congress. Will have that in a fist. We 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.400 are going to have that in a bit. But Willie 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:57.520 I first a virtuoso performance. There are people at home 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.920 and I feel badly for them who when Adam Schiff 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.680 was doing this whole it really is just like a play. 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.960 It's the Attris. You know, he is playing a character 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.120 up there, and he looks at some points like he's 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.680 going to tear up because he loves the country so much. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.960 This is the man who lied to the American people. 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.800 Adam Schiff lied to the American people for years about 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.240 the president of the United States being a traitor to 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.040 his country. Has Adam Schiff ever apologized for that he 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:29.440 was wrong? Objectively a question of fact here he was wrong. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.840 Did he ever say anything about that? Oh? No, of 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.440 course not. Now just moves on to the next con Look, Libs, 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.440 maybe just deal with the fact that you have a 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.600 president in office right now who's better at this than 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:45.360 you thought he would be. Who's better at this than 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:49.160 the guy that you thought was a genius demigod before Trump. 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.280 And a lot of the things that you know, the 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:57.160 liberal elites and the Democratic Party have been telling themselves 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:00.000 are true for quite a long time now just aren't. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.480 And I know that can be unsettling. I know that 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.040 that can make someone feel like what's going on in 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:08.120 the world around me? But that is where we are. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.959 And if they were going to be honest about this, 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.480 if they're going to be adults about this, they'd find 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.879 themselves in a position to start to say what is 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:18.600 true about Trump and what is not? What has he 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.160 done well? And what could he improve on? Instead? It's 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:25.120 just everything Trump does is horrible laundry list of abuses 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.720 of power? What's the laundry lists? We're talking about one incident. 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:33.000 We're all in this boring mess because of one thing, 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.399 a phone call for which we have the transcript, And 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:42.520 we are being told by Democrats in elected office, and 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.159 of course the media they're lackeys, or maybe the Democrats. 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.520 You know who's the lackey of whom is a whole 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:51.520 other conversation, But we're being told that the American people 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:53.920 aren't allowed to decide whether or not that's an abusive power. 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.280 Our elected officials have to decide if that's an abusive power. 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.399 Keep in mind, when they publican majority Senate a quits 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:06.600 him will be told that, oh, well, those officials were dishonest, 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.720 they were cheating. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:14.560 Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:18.480 or wherever you get your podcasts. We also live in 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.720 a country in which we ask every citizen to serve 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.080 on juries, and in the situation which they're asked to 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.040 do their civic duty and serve on juries. Most of 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.600 those people have other jobs. They haven't take a leave 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.960 trump with the trial goes for alongside. Often they don't 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.720 collect their paycheck from that. They are given a meager 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.160 amount of money relative to what some of those people 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:38.600 might make. And these people's jobs is to do this. 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.480 I mean, this is literally the job. If you find 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.960 it too annoying or frustrating or uncomfortable to sit for 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.399 eight hours and listen, you can resign tomorrow and go 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:53.040 get another job. But like, this is your job. I 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:57.680 guess I like this. Libs are upset because as much 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.520 as they're trying, on the one hand, they're telling just 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:05.360 out of shift, but on a virtuoso performance. Okay, yeah, 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.040 so such a virtual or the performance that senators were 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:13.639 like falling asleep. People watching were you know, you know 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:15.800 that thing. This is happening all the time. I was overtired. 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.639 I feel like for half of high school, where your 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.760 head would bob down, it would come back up because 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:21.439 you were so close to just pass it out and 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.480 slap in your face on the on the desk in 0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:25.920 front of you. That was like most of the people 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.280 who were stuck there watching this thing there was nothing new, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.320 there's nothing we haven't heard before. It's all the same stuff. 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.679 And then but just with more more emotive, more emotive 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:40.439 from Adam Shift, Thomas Payne, George Washington at one point. 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.879 At one point, Shift this was awesome. I was like, 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:47.800 he's not really doing this, is he? He's like when 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:51.760 Washington crossed the Telaware I'm like, we're going, we're comparing 0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:56.720 Trump asking a foreign counterpart if there were some annoying 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:59.480 meddling from some Ukrainian government officials in our election, which 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:01.480 has been report it on by numerous media outlets that 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.520 haven't attracted it. And oh, by the way, also, can 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.399 you find out what was going on with the former 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.520 vice president's son getting paid more than a normal fortune 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:12.200 one hundred company board member while his dad's running foreign 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.639 policy in that country for America? Seems like kind of 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.120 an interesting thing, can you get adds? They're comparing that 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.399 to George Washington risking at all with the roll of 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:25.880 the dice going across a Delaware river, and on Christmas 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:30.840 Day or was it the day after Christmas attacking an 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.960 encampment of British soldiers, which many say was able to 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:40.159 keep Washington's army from being surrounded and annihilated. These are 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.600 the kinds of comparisons that Democrats make with a straight face, 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:46.320 not just with a straight face, with a face full 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:50.160 of emotion. This is what this is what the country 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:54.199 is facing right now. Oh good heavens. I also have 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.520 to tell you, and I haven't really said this to 0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:00.239 you before, but I do believe this. It's hard not 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:04.359 to feel like justice in this case would be taking 0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:09.040 into account that Democrats have already tried for three years. 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:13.320 One version of Trump is a threat to the republic. 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:17.000 Trump is a cheater who did not win the election. 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.240 He worked with our with our enemies, the Russians. Russia 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.639 is not an enemy state. It's an oppositional state. But 0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:24.480 to call an enemy state is to go too far. 0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:29.400 But worked with our Russian enemies in order to win 0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:31.840 an election he would not have won otherwise, and therefore 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.119 he betrayed the most fundamental values of our democracy. For 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:39.320 three years, they ran around repeating this narrative. And I 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.159 love all these journalists, you know, all these news anchors 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:43.800 they'll have on. Oh no, they didn't, necessarily, They just 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.080 ran stories that let their analysts then come on and 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:48.399 all repeat that to their faces, and you know, the 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.920 Shudos and the Tappers and the Mattow's and just sitting 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.440 there just bobbing their heads. Yeah, yeah, that's right, Yeah, 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:58.520 totally trader. Trump's a trader. Three years of that, we've 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:03.760 had lie lies. The people that were perpetrating that are 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:08.760 either disgusting liars or total morons or a combination of 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:12.639 those things. There's no accountability for them at all. They 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:17.080 all still no one got fired for spreading all that disinformation. 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.000 I mean a few people got fired for running just 0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:23.199 objectively false, single one off news stories that could be 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.120 proven false right away, by the way, But those who 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.280 concocted this narrative, which I would also note that I've 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.440 spoken to many people, I spoke to the President himself 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:36.920 about this, slowed down things in the White House, became 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:40.879 a real drain on the White House's ability to handle 0:22:40.920 --> 0:22:46.080 other problems, created a siege mentality among senior administration officials. 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:48.240 So they don't think that just because they couldn't prove 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:51.399 the lie, the lie was not useful to them. And 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.639 I bring this up because why shouldn't we take that 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:57.080 into account as we look now at this at their 0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:02.600 allegations about the Ukraine conversation, you know whatever they want 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:05.120 to call this the abuse of power around the Zelenski 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:09.399 phone call. They lied to us about Russia collusion for 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:12.040 three years. Why would I think that their judgment is 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:16.080 sound now? And also how am I supposed to gauge? 0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:20.160 How should I weigh that they were willing to lie, cheat, steel, 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.320 do whatever they had to do to try to take 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.840 Trump out with the Mulla report and it failed, and 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.800 now they're trying it again with something else. Do I 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:30.560 think that they're object I mean, if you think that 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.240 these people are being honest and objective and ethical and 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:35.840 they care about the Constitution, you're just not very smart. 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.760 You're just not a very bright person. You've been so 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.879 brainwashed that you're not capable of looking at this with 0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:48.760 any sort of objectivity whatsoever. Right, So I think that 0:23:48.760 --> 0:23:50.359 that also needs to be factored in here. I mean, 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.400 the same atom ship that was telling us the president 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:55.439 effectively cheated to win the election with Russia's help is 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.520 now claiming the President was trying to cheat with Ukraine's 0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:00.560 help in the next election. Well, he lied last time. 0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:02.240 Why do I think he's telling the truth this time? 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:06.800 This is why it matters. It matters in a court 0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.359 of law. For example, it matters if you lie under 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:13.800 oath unless you're doing it for Democrats benefit, like Andy 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:15.880 McCay at the FBI, who, by the way, I still believe, 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:18.119 will not spend a day in jail for committing the 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.440 felony of lying I believe twice under oath to the 0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:25.119 Inspector General of the FBI. But different rules for Democrats. 0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:26.560 This is the country we live in now. It's really, 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:30.840 in many ways the most damaging to our sense of 0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:36.080 a government body and a law, a rule of law 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:40.720 that is a central characteristic of our americanness of being 0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:44.000 an American living in a country where there are different 0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:46.080 standards depending on whether you are on the left on 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:49.200 the right when it comes to criminal law. That does 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:53.080 pull us apart in very serious ways. That then does 0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:55.720 start to raise questions about how long are we gonna 0:24:55.720 --> 0:25:01.080 be able to continue this way? But it was also 0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:04.240
