Speaker 1: our lives in countless ways. We will look at where

Speaker 1: in the future. Will discuss how this affects our foreign

Speaker 1: policy and domestic politics. Today will also dive into all

7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,760

Speaker 1: a great American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins. No

12
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: Courage and strength answered amid the fire and smoke in

13
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: New York City, over a Pennsylvania meadow, and in this

14
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: very building, as innocent people from nine countries were murdered

15
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: on our soil. We remember the bravery and sacrifice of

16
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: those who fell here in America and then on far

17
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: flung battlefields. We salute the soldiers, sailors, airmen, coast guardsmen,

18
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: and marines who nailed our colors to the mast, giving

19
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: their last full measure of devotion, declaring proudly that Americans

20
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: do not scare, and we followed to the end of

21
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the earth those who sought to break our spirit. Together

22
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: with the families of the fallen, we remember all that

23
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: is good, all that is true, and all that is

24
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: beautiful about those we have lost. Today, all of America

25
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: raps up and joins together. We close our arms to

26
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,440

Speaker 1: great sorrow. Your tears are not shed alone, for they

28
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: are shared grief with an entire nation. We grieve together

29
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: for every mother and father, sister and brother, son and

30
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: daughter who was stolen from us at the Twin Towers

31
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: the Pentagon, and here in this Pennsylvania field, we honor

32
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: their sacrificed by pledging to never flinch in the face

33
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: of evil and to do whatever it takes to keep

34
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: America safe. Welcome to the Box Action Show, Everybody, nine

35
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: eleven anniversary today. I know that this affects all of us.

36
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: This is something that we all remember um and it

37
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: changed the world. When we look at where we are

38
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: now versus where we were then. It was an uncertain thing,

39
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: my friends, and in those hours after the towers got hit,

40
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: we did not know how many wars we would have

41
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: to fight. We did not know how many more attacks

42
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: were coming, perhaps imminent attacks just a matter of hours away,

43
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: and it was a wake up for many of us

44
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: that we have enemies, that we have people who have

45
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: embraced ideologies around the globe of of hatred and destruction.

46
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: And it is in fact true that there are people

47
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: who hate us for who we are, and yes, a

48
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: part of that is our freedom. There are people who

49
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: hate us for our way of life and our role

50
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: in the world and how we view ourselves in terms

51
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: of human progress and development, I mean the role that

52
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: America plays um And while we had many difficult year

53
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: is ahead and counter terrorism operations at Rock Afghanistan, two

54
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: countries where you know, the greatest honor of my life

55
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: to this day was showing up and trying to do

56
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: some small part to help as a civilian, to help

57
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: United States military and their mission taking the fight to

58
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: al Qaida and iractaing the fight to al Qaeda in

59
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: UH South Asia and the Taliban and all of their

60
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: affiliates and SIA militias in Iraq and all the rest

61
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: of it UH. We also saw much of what was

62
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: best and strongest in America after that period. I mean,

63
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, my generation as much as we get a

64
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: hard time, and people make a lot of jokes about millennials. Look,

65
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: I make jokes about millennials, but my generation and those

66
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: who are you know, twenty years older than me and

67
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, a decade younger than me. So many of

68
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: them showed up and answered the call. So many of

69
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: them were incredibly brave, and many thousands of laid down

70
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: their lives for this country as a result of what

71
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: happened on nine eleven. So I will talk to you

72
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: a bit more about it during this hour. Some just

73
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: some memories that come back. One of them is just

74
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: walking around the streets of Manhattan where I'm from, and

75
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: of course where the where the towers were, uh, and

76
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: seeing all the American flags everywhere afterwards, And it was

77
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: such a reminder for all of us of what what

78
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: is at stake And these slogans, these things you hear

79
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: when people say things like freedom is and free and

80
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: you know we we we need a rough men who

81
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: stand ready at night to do violence on our behalf

82
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: so we sleep soundly. I mean, all these things that

83
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: you might hear growing up. It it brought that all

84
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: together in a way that you you had to take notice,

85
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,559
Speaker 1: certainly changed my life. And it's the only Without Not eleven,

86
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't go to the CIA. And I know for

87
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: so many of you listening, without Not eleven, you didn't

88
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: do three combat tours in Afghanistan and two in a

89
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: rock and you know, who knows where else you've you've

90
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: been sent in the defense of this country. But it's

91
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: also a day today when I think we should note that,

92
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, we have managed to suppress, not to defeat

93
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: or annihilate, but to suppress the jihadiest menace. The global

94
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: jihad is a small piece of what it once was,

95
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: and and al Qaeda certainly is greatly diminished from what

96
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: it was, and that is because of all those efforts.

97
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's a multi decade struggle that

98
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: we are engaged in. But if you were to look

99
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: at our fight against radical Islam right now, you would

100
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: have to say that we are winning. We have not

101
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: one It is not over, and there can be a

102
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: reversal in this whole, in this whole battle, but we

103
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: are we are winning. And I don't think people hear

104
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: that enough. I don't think those who serve and those

105
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: who have come back and veterans get told that enough.

106
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: That you know, the reason we don't have more planes

107
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: flying into buildings is because of the efforts of people

108
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: for this country and in the defense of this country.

109
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: So I'll have some more on nine eleven and just

110
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: the differing philosophy that exists in the fight against radical

111
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: Islam between say Trump and Barack Obama before him. And

112
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: we'll also discuss whether the International Criminal Court is gonna

113
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: get any jurisdiction over our soldiers. That will be coming

114
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: up later on in this hour. And then if we'll

115
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: get into SMAR news of the day, the latest on

116
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: the machinations of the deep state, and the big news

117
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: coming up on that. By the way, I'll give you

118
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: a preview of it in the next hour. But there's

119
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a pretty big revelation from what I'm told here.

120
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: My sources are telling me, we're gonna find out a

121
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: whole lot about how deep the deep state targeting really was.

122
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: Uh And and just one note here, some breaking news

123
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: right as I came on air that Trump is going

124
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: to order sanctions on He's gonna he's going to create

125
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: an executive order and sign it that allows sanctions on

126
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: foreigners who medal in US elections. So gonna gonna make

127
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: sure that you know there there's even greater tools at

128
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: the federal government's disposal for punishing election meddling, and hopefully

129
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: start to push back on this lie that you know

130
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't care about election meddling, or that there's it

131
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: is of no interest to him, or even he was

132
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: supportive of it. That's what you'll hear from Democrats. So

133
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: that's some breaking news. Trump is taking action to allow

134
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: sanctioning of foreigners for election Meddling's talking about Obama's view

135
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: of radical Islam and how that factors into the fight

136
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: we're talking about today with nine eleven, when we come

137
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: back as a gold star mother, my son gave his

138
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: life for acts of terrorism. Um, do you still believe

139
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: that the acts of terrorism are done with a self

140
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: proclaim Islamic religious motives? And if you do, why do

141
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: you still refuse to use the term racially? I'm sorry,

142
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: Islamic terrorists. What I have been careful about when I

143
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: describe these issues is to make sure that we do

144
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: not lump these murderers into the billion Muslims that exist

145
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: around the world, including in this country, who are peaceful,

146
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: who are responsible, who in this country are our fellow

147
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: troops and police officers and firefighters and teachers and neighbors

148
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: and friends. And what I learned from listening to some

149
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: of these Muslim families, both in the United States and overseas,

150
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: is that when you start calling these organizations Islamic terrorists,

151
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: the way it's heard, the way it's received by our

152
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: friends and allies are on the world is that somehow

153
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: Islam is terroristic, and that then makes them feel as

154
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: if they're under attack. In some cases, it makes it

155
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: harder for us to get their cooperation in fighting terrorism.

156
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: So so we're getting a very long answer here from

157
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: the former president on his thinking, which is not new

158
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: and has not changed, on why he will not say

159
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: radical Islam or Islamic terrorism. And this became kind of

160
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: doctrine liberalism. This became doctrinaire on the left that you

161
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: don't say radical Islam or Islamic terrorism because one it

162
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: hurts our allies. And I always say to this, what

163
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: kind of allied do we have really with anybody if

164
00:10:53,720 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: us describing an organization as it describes itself is somehow

165
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: an affront to them, you know, as as we're here

166
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: on nine eleven and and thinking about our counter terrorism

167
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: and just general security and military UH partnerships all over

168
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: the world, but particularly in the Islamic world. Is it's

169
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: worth noting that most the majority of casualties from these

170
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: heinous terroristacks is is actually Muslims. And so I don't

171
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: think that anyone that we would consider to be a

172
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: good person and an ally in this which is a

173
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: lot of folks all over the Muslim world, would be

174
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: put off by a saying the Islamic State, because that's

175
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: what the Islamic State calls itself. That that is the name.

176
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, we can call them something else if we want,

177
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: maybe something that's a pejorative or uh. But but this

178
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: tendency to play games with language instead of facing up

179
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: to the reality is very common with liberals. This is

180
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: why you see them always or with with the left,

181
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: with progressives. Some of you have taken issue recently with

182
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: me saying liberal more frequently. It's a useful shorthand. It's

183
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: it's such a common shorthand for the left that I

184
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: end up using it sometimes too. But trust me, I

185
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: years ago on this show I used to say that

186
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: I think that liberal is an intentional misnomer and that

187
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: the people who want to be called liberals who call

188
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: themselves liberals are in fact leftists and statists and really

189
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: have an authoritarian streak within uh, you know, anti anti

190
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: traditional religion, very militant secularist view of life. And and

191
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: that's you know that that the the notion of liberals

192
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: as anything based in liberty is wrong headed. But I

193
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: digress on that one. Obama is just wrong on this

194
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: whole notion radical Islam. And I think that it was

195
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: always a problem as well. For every time that they

196
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: can say, oh, well, we didn't want to upset some

197
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: of our allies, I would always say, well, what about

198
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: the moderates that we always talk about, What about the

199
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: run of the mill Muslims who would say that their

200
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: religion has been hijacked in many cases by terrorists. So

201
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: hijack seems like an appropriate term. Hijacked by these radicals

202
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: and these and these extremists and used in terrible ways

203
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: that they disagree with. It sounds to me like when

204
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: we won't refer to them the way that they refer

205
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: to themselves, meaning we won't refer to these groups as

206
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: they are in fact named, uh, that it shows a

207
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: degree of weakness, that it shows that we aren't willing

208
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: to call out this evil for for what it is.

209
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: We have to find euphemisms and other names for it.

210
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: So now I know there's there's different schools of thought

211
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: on this one. But I also think that Obama, well,

212
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: well he was not a He was not a secret Muslim,

213
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: and people I've gotten a lot of emails, no, he

214
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: was not. I believe Obama is a secularist. I believe

215
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: he is an atheist actually, and that you know, now

216
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just based it on his policies,

217
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I don't know the man personally, so

218
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: this isn't like I have some inside information on it.

219
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: But I do believe that he views religion much more

220
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: as a political means to an end and maybe as

221
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: community building in the early stage of his career as

222
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: a politician, instead of something that he you know, fervently

223
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: believes in. You know, I I don't believe, for example,

224
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: that you can be a Christian and be uh be

225
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: one of these radical pro choice leftists like in the

226
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: in the Nancy Pelosi mold. I just don't believe that.

227
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. I mean, people

228
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: can argue with me as much as they want um.

229
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: But you know, Obama is somebody who on on a

230
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: whole bunch of issues, has shown a hostility toward religion,

231
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: whether it's suing the little sisters of the poor when

232
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: you know he was implementing the monstrosity known as Obamacare,

233
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: but also on the issue of Islam, there was clearly

234
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: an affinity. I mean, he he did have um special

235
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: place in his heart. And he lived in Indonesia for

236
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: a number of years as a youth. And that's not

237
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: controversial or anything. That's that's stated fact that we all know.

238
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: It's in his biographies. But he lived in Indonesia for

239
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: a number of years, and I do think that he

240
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: developed a an affinity for Islam. And it's interesting that

241
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: he lived in Indonesia, which has traditionally been a place

242
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: held up by the left in this country. I see,

243
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: you can't have a pluralistic and peaceful but actually things

244
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: in Indonesia in some places are going going in the

245
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: wrong direction right now on the whole radicalism and Gehodism thing.

246
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: But it was just strategically wrong and it was a

247
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: bad It was a bad look, it was it was

248
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: bad thought process. Everything about Obama's approach. This stuff. I

249
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: just think I think it was just wrong, wrong, wrong,

250
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: wrong when it came to dealing with radical Islam, and

251
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: it started with an inability or an unwillingness to say

252
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: radical Islam. I've also always thought, by the way, that

253
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: there was a a kind of uh, what's the a,

254
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: A a showy nous, a kind of pedantic thing that

255
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: Obama always had that I do not miss that we're

256
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: not subjected to this anymore. Where he wanted, he wanted

257
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: to always be signaling to people that thought of themselves

258
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: as really well informed as you know, I'm one of

259
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm one of you. And how he would talk about

260
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: these issues literally, how he would talk about it, meaning

261
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: the words and the pronunciations, which is why he would say, uh,

262
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: Bakistan and alban and had this affect when he would

263
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: speak about some of these It wasn't an accent, it

264
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: was an effect. It was he he thinks that this

265
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: is how you know. It's like somebody who's not a

266
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Spanish speaker, who whenever they see a Spanish name likes

267
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: to really just lean in Martinez. It's like, no, you

268
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: can just say Martinez. You know, you don't have to

269
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: get Martinez. You know, he say, if you're a Spanish speaker,

270
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: say whatever you want. But I'm just saying it's some

271
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: some liberal Americans see a Latin n aim and they

272
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: over enunciated because because I think that that's a signaling

273
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: mechanism for how sophisticated they are. I think Obama would

274
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: do that with some of the discussions about terrorism radical Islam,

275
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: trying to show it's also why I would note this. Uh,

276
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, they were the only ones, the only ones,

277
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: and it went away. And I used to make fun

278
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: of friends of mine in the administration that they would

279
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: say eisl because Obama eisl eisl and everyone else was

280
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: saying isis And you'll notice that it did not last

281
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: beyond Obama's time in office because they said isissel because

282
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: they thought that that's it sounded fancy. It's the lavant,

283
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: it's the more accurate version of it. No, it's not.

284
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: It was just kind of annoying. I want to hear

285
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: from America's mayor here in just a moment. I want

286
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: to hear from Rudolph Giuliani himself. I mean, he's not

287
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: calling in we've got some I wish well I'm calling

288
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: another time he's called I think we've had him on

289
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: the show before. I've had him on other shows before. Um.

290
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: He but I want to hear from him on on

291
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: nine eleven and get his to things, and I'll tell

292
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: you a little bit about what I remember from that day. Um.

293
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: We'll move on into the second hour. I've got an

294
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: editorial that I need to tear apart with you. We've

295
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: got Sean Parnell joining the show, would be great conversation.

296
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm also going to talk to you about the Jack

297
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Amazon which I just happened to watch it this week.

298
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: I know it's nine eleven. They talk a lot about

299
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: nine eleven in the show, the Jack Ryan Amazon Series,

300
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: which I watched in full. I'll give you my my

301
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: entire review of that coming up in the third hour

302
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 1: of the show tonight. And so we've got any more

303
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: coming up eight four eight to five, eight four four nine, Buck,

304
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. The first couple of days, We're

305
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: just gruesome. The realization that we lost that many people,

306
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: the realization we weren't gonna discover bodies, which that well

307
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: everyone into a hospital waited was a shock that was

308
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: absolutely shocked to me. Um. I thought I saw it

309
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: the first day. We were going to save a lot

310
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: of people. We ended up saving whatever we saved in

311
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: US first couple hours. That was it. But the people

312
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: coming forward throughout the United States throughout the world, that

313
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: is a particularly memorable experience that that you're talking about

314
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: because it was kids, but it happened with firefighters from

315
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: Chicago and Philadelphia and Florida and Texas. It happened with

316
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: school school classes all over the country. It happened with

317
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of Canadians five thousand coming to New York

318
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: in November, Canada, to New York, Canada to help New York. UM.

319
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 1: So that that got you through that said to you,

320
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we have a whole country behind us,

321
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: if not a lot of decent people throughout the world.

322
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: It was that that coming together of so many different

323
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: people from all over the world as as a result

324
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: of nine eleven that I think is one of the

325
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: great um positive after effects. It didn't last forever, and

326
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't certainly everyone there. There were people, as heinous

327
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: as it is to even just have to repeat this,

328
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: there were people who were celebrating, as you know, on

329
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: eleven UM. And I actually have been told stories from

330
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: friends of mine in foreign countries that you wouldn't necessarily expect,

331
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: like Brazil. I had a friend in Brazil who said

332
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: people were cheering and celebrating on nine eleven. I had

333
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: a friend in Egypt who said people were cheering and

334
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: celebrating on nine eleven. I mean, I've had friends that

335
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: you know, they've this this somehow didn't really you know,

336
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: there's the stories about the kids in and the West

337
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: Bank were given candy. I think they said to celebrate

338
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: in front of cameras or something. But it was it

339
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: was not a completely uh isolated incident to see people

340
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: that were cheering. But anyway, most of the world came

341
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: together and it was an instance of us all seeing

342
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: or or for once at least taking a step back

343
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: to to remember that America is a true global superpower

344
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: in the sense that the world is a better place

345
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: with America as it is. And I do think that

346
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: somewhere in the minds of a lot of folks who

347
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: were expressing their their sympathy for what had happened to us,

348
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: and and those who felt like an attack on America

349
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: was really an attack on civilization, which is what it was.

350
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: This was nine eleven was an attack on civilization. Uh,

351
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: that's because they realized that we are in the vanguard

352
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: of civilization, that we make the world a better, safer,

353
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: more advanced, more just honestly more joyful place. And that

354
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: is that is America's role on this planet. I'm not

355
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: saying we're perfect. I'm not saying we do that all

356
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: the time. I'm not saying we're the only ones. But

357
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: there is something very special about this nation. And that

358
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: specialness for a moment wasn't called into question, but it

359
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: was threatened to be extinguished. Because you know, this is

360
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: one of the big things when you go back and

361
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: do it in any any remembrance of what it was

362
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: like in nine eleven. We didn't know how many planes,

363
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: we didn't know how many other plots, we didn't know

364
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: what else was was in the works. I remember I

365
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: was walking to my Shakespeare class with a professor so Field. Uh,

366
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: and I was groggy. I was really tired and someone

367
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: out of it. And I will tell you this, I

368
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: don't think I ever mentioned this before on the show,

369
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: And this was I had a I was taking Arabic

370
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: at the time. I just started. I was in I

371
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: think my second week of Arabic class when nine eleven happened,

372
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: and I had this day and it was the day

373
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: before nine eleven when I had gotten up and for

374
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: some reason, I had thought that I had missed class

375
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: and I had missed a quiz, and I got up

376
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: and ran and now why would I even have a

377
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: quiz so soon the semester? I it wasn't. I'm not

378
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: saying it was. It was rational, it was it was

379
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: essentially a dream. But I got up and I ran

380
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: across campus at six o'clock or something like that in

381
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: the morning, was very which for a college kid is

382
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: no one's up at six o'clock. I mean, I rode crew,

383
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: and other than that, we never got up early. But

384
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: I ran across the campus and got to an empty

385
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: classroom and realized the whole campus was asleep. Now that

386
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: that's it's nothing I know, and I'm not say but

387
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: it was the day before the nine eleven attack. And

388
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: there's always been this part of me that felt like

389
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: there was something that was coming, there was something that

390
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: was going to happen. And I'm sure other people have

391
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: their own and you know, that might be my mind

392
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: playing tricks in me that in retrospect, you know, you have.

393
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's easy to look at any little thing

394
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: once you know how a story ends, and say, oh,

395
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: well that you know that was a signpost for that

396
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: other thing. But I just always remember that. I remember

397
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: it was the only time it ever happened to me

398
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: in all four years of being a college student, that

399
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: I woke up without an alarm, ran across the campus

400
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: and thought that something, you know, thought that I had

401
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: I had missed class, that I was in this kind

402
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: of panic. And it turned out that I had just

403
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: I had gotten up early, early and had a weird dream.

404
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: And I remember the next day, on on nine eleven UM,

405
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: going into the class room and being told to turn

406
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: around and and go back because we were going to

407
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: cancel the class because a plane had hit one of

408
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: the World Trade Center buildings. And I as everybody everyone

409
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: who heard that had the same or not everybody, but

410
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: everyone that I can think of UM who has told

411
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: their version of what it was like that day for them,

412
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: had the same thought, which was, you know, a prop plane,

413
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: maybe two or three people killed, which is a tragedy

414
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: for them and their families, But it had it had

415
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: certainly not occurred to any of us, although I had

416
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: read the books State of Fear, in which Michael Crichton,

417
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: whom I mentioned yesterday, has a kind of kama Kaze

418
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: revenge plot where the Japanese to get revenge for Japanese

419
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: hype ultra nationalists to get revenge World War two, fly

420
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: a plane a like a Boeing seven forty seven into

421
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: the into the Congress with a joint session of com

422
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: was going on, so that that it wasn't unthought of

423
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: that somebody could use or you know, it wasn't beyond

424
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: anyone's imagination somebody could use a plane as a missile

425
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: like that. But I remember I was one of the

426
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: few people on my floor who had a TV because

427
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: we were sophomores in college, and I turned on the

428
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: cable box and sat there watching it, and people congregated

429
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: in my room. So it was right after that, you know,

430
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: I still this day don't really understand how the professor

431
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: knew that it was serious enough that he should cancel class.

432
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: I suppose I guess people were rather look the World

433
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: Trade Center had been bombed years before, maybe, But I

434
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: remember walking back to my room thinking that this was

435
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: not going to be um. This was not some huge deal.

436
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: It was maybe a tragedy, but it wasn't. I had

437
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 1: no idea that it was a mass casualty terror attack

438
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: that would change not just the trajectory of the country

439
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: and the world, but my life. I knew ever thought

440
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: of going to the c I A until after Not eleven.

441
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: I mean, that was just not something I would have considered.

442
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: I was, honestly, I was trying to head straight to

443
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: Wall Street. I wanted to have a a comfortable life

444
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: where I would be rewarded as as best as I

445
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: could get rewarded for you know, my my work in

446
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: the in the well, in the office. Um. And after

447
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 1: not eleven, I I made a lifestyle change or two

448
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: so that I would be a very attractive candidate for

449
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: the CIA. Then it was the first job I applied

450
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: for my senior year, all on my own. I mean,

451
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: my parents have no government connection or no you know,

452
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: neither my parents was in the military or an intelligence community.

453
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: So it just all came to me that this is

454
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do. So, I mean not eleven

455
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: and that that is the day that changed so many lives,

456
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: changed my life for sure. But I remember going back

457
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: and watching the uh, the gaping hole inside of the

458
00:26:52,680 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 1: building and then also seeing that second plane hit I uh,

459
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: and that was that's just one of those moments. It's

460
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: one of the most you will absolutely never forget. I UM,

461
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: I remember it very clearly, that part of it. And

462
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: I remember I turned to some of my friends in

463
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: the room and I said, oh my, oh my god,

464
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: we're going to war um and this will you know.

465
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know any of that, but Lodon or any

466
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know any of this stuff. I

467
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: just knew that this that when you were attacked in

468
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: that way, that there was going to be a a serious,

469
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: uh and prolonged military response, as we know there was.

470
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: So it changed the world, folks, changed our our whole,

471
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: our whole way of thinking. And it is really the

472
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: most single formative event, which is is uh sant a lot,

473
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: considering we almost had a great depression just a few

474
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: years ago, But it is the most single formative event

475
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: in in geopolitics in my lifetime. And I think that

476
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: that's or certainly in my adult lifetime. People might say

477
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: the fall of the fall of the Wall and the

478
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: collapse of the Soviet Union would be right up there,

479
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: which I think, yes, that's that's certainly true, um, but

480
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: that had been coming a long time, so I think

481
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: there was more of an ability to psychologically pivot to it.

482
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 1: Uh nine eleven. We we went to bed the night

483
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: before thinking that America, the pox Americana would continue forever,

484
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna get richer and happier and everything's

485
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: gonna be great. And then twenty four hours later we

486
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: realized we have some really serious enemies and we're gonna

487
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: have to take the fight to them. And a lot

488
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: of you listening, I know ended up in a rock

489
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: and Afghanistan. I never would have thought, but I ended

490
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: up there, So that's what happened. The United States will

491
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those

492
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court.

493
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: We will not cooperate with the i c C. We

494
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: will let the i c C I on its own.

495
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: After all, for all intents and purposes, the i c

496
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: C is already dead to us. The i c C

497
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: prosecutor has requested to investigate these Americans for alleged detainee

498
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: abuse and utterly unfounded, unjustifiable investigation. Folks, isn't it great

499
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: to have an administration that doesn't think that foreign countries

500
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: and foreign entities should have the right to nullify US sovereignty.

501
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Isn't it great to have an administration, to have a

502
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: White House, a president and president's top national security advisors

503
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: like Ambassador Bolton there or now National Security Advisor Bolton,

504
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: who just say, you know what, No, no, We've seen

505
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: the ridiculousness that is the u n We We've seen

506
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: this notion play out that all countries are roughly equivalent,

507
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: that all countries should have a somewhat equal say, or

508
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: close to it. And I'm sorry, but we don't really

509
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: care what the rest of the world thinks about a

510
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: whole lot of things, and we certainly should not care.

511
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: And this is one of these ideological dividing lines between

512
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: democrats and Republicans. We certainly don't care about a court

513
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: constituted in two thousand and two with the Hague that's

514
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: supposed to, you know, investigate and prosecute war crimes that

515
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: we are not a signatory to were we we do

516
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: not recognize it. We're not saying, yeah, that's how we're

517
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: gonna do things, because you know, folks, the reality of

518
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: what would happen here is that you would have countries

519
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, we have to operate in for

520
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: any of our any any military covert actions that take place,

521
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: any black ops that go down, any number of things.

522
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: Never mind also the more uh open operations that are

523
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: ongoing in places like rock in Afghanistan, where I know

524
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: we have agreements with the host countries, but you know,

525
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: there's always this possibility that a new government will come

526
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: in or there'll be some push for us to hand

527
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: over to the International Criminal Court Americans, and you know,

528
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: we we police our own And this is where you

529
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: get into the whole well that sounds like something Vladimir

530
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: Putin would say, right, You get these internationalists, the self

531
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: righteous leftists who immediately take this pose and take this

532
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: position of oh, well, you know you want other countries

533
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: to be subject to international law, but not America. And

534
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: to that I say no, no, we're saying that our

535
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: military will not be subject to foreign entities. We hold

536
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: our own military subject to US law, which is much

537
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: more just and comprehensive than any international law, and is

538
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: also all right as a sovereign nation. And they will say, well,

539
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: buck again. This is where you could have you know,

540
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: the Russians or the Iranians or any number of different

541
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 1: countries who would say, well, we would do that too,

542
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: And in response to that is sorry, this is the

543
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: U n thinking that the left has that comes back

544
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: and we don't active. We are not on our government,

545
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: despite all of its flaws and problems, are not on

546
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: an equivalent moral plane to the Russians. We're not on

547
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: an equivalent equivalent moral plane. Put honestly, do a lot

548
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: of Muslim majority countries. Uh, We're certainly not on the

549
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: same moral plane as any of our opposition countries around

550
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: the world, any of our our enemies or near and

551
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: close to being enemies. H And that's why I think

552
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: that that Bolton just drawing a firm line here. It's

553
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: absolutely the move, Absolutely what should happen. And I just

554
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: have to note that, you know, with with Obama, Yes,

555
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: I know we didn't become a signatory under Obama, but

556
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: there was always this desire to play kate international opinion.

557
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: You know, Obama always had this idea that we need

558
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: to be concerned with what the editorial team at the Guardian,

559
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, the British paper has to say about something.

560
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't care. I just don't and I don't want

561
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: my elected representatives to care when it comes to international relations.

562
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: I care about two things that our governments involved in. Really.

563
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: I care about trade, and I care about keeping us safe.

564
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: That's it. Beyond that, it's mostly it's really details, sure, democracy,

565
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: promotion and trying to do you know, good things human rights,

566
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: clean water, and countries of No, we we do all

567
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: that stuff, but that's never what's that's never what's that issue?

568
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: The problem comes up when all of a sudden you

569
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: have this obama Ist position on international institutions that we

570
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: should allow other countries to have a say in our affairs,

571
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: and I mean the idea that we who would enforce that.

572
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: By the way, you know that they're gonna put out

573
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: what an arrest warrant for one of our soldiers or

574
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: one of our generals. How how long do we think

575
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: it would be before a dream of many liberals would

576
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: occur where you have, for example, you know, Dick Cheney

577
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: being prosecuted for war crimes in the Hague. As some

578
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: liberals expressed at the time that that that's their desire.

579
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna hand over a former US premier,

580
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: former US president. Now we we have our own core processes.

581
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, anybody who violates rules of engagement or violence

582
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: uniform Code of Military Justice can be held and is

583
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: held accountable under our laws, and we're not We're not

584
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: going to surrender that sovereignty to anybody. So I really

585
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: think that that, you know, Bolton took the right step today.

586
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: It's good to see and it's just a reminder of

587
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: why I am so happy that we have Trump and

588
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: Trump's people calling the shots instead of what we have before,

589
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: because it was it was always so honestly depressing to

590
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: hear American leadership that was acting like they should be

591
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: at the at the beck and call of the so

592
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: called international community. I mean, what is international opinion? People

593
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: talk about this like it's a thing like they're pulling

594
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: all over the world. And when we say international opinion,

595
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: what we really tend to mean is, you know, the primary,

596
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: the the UH opinion that we have a sense of

597
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: from major media outlets in industrialized and and western countries. UH.

598
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: And that's kind of it, that that's international international opinion.

599
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: You know, I think most folks, whether it's in Argentina

600
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:25,479
Speaker 1: or Botswana or Myanmar, are of the mind that they'd

601
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: rather just worry about their own stuff. And they don't

602
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: have too much in the way of opinions on what

603
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: America is doing, and and and vice versa. Babe, you

604
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: know that's the way we feel too. So good job

605
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: for Bolton, well done today. Another good issue for the

606
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: Trump administration when I think they came down the right

607
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 1: side of things. I want to talk to you about

608
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: the the dumbest editorial that I read today, the stupidest

609
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: one courtesy of Joe Scarborough that's coming up. Do you

610
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: have opinions that you feel like you can't express? I

611
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: think we all do. Are you looking for a place

612
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: to stir up some conversations, let your thoughts and your

613
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: opinions be heard. I want to introduce you to an

614
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,800

615

632
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I could go on and on what he

633
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: said about a majority black countries. Um, that is tearing

634
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: more at the fabric of America than attacks on the

635
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: Twin Towers. Did we rebuilt from that? We became stronger

636
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: because of that. But this seems to me a far graver,

637
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: graver threat to the idea of America. That's multi millionaire

638
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: pundit at MSNBC Joe Scarborough in reference to a column

639
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: that was published in the on the Washington Post, and

640
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 1: they should be a shame, but they have no shame.

641
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: I keep returning to this notion of well, the left

642
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: must finally have learned some kind of lesson here from

643
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: just being grotesque. But no, no, they wallow in grotesque.

644
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: They like it. They they like to just eliminate any

645
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 1: sense of decency, fair play, or honor in their dealings

646
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: with the other side and their dealings with conservatives. That's

647
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: they take a certain pleasure I think in being as

648
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: as underhanded and as as unfair as possible to too

649
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: conservatives and to the right to Trump. Obviously. Uh, this

650
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: column that was written by Scarborough, which I mean, I

651
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: would just note first of all, it starts off I

652
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: mean it starts off with with this, and this is

653
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: always a bad sign. This is like somebody who's writing

654
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: for their high school newspaper who's trying really hard to

655
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: impress people. Here's here's how its column starts off. Cataclysmic

656
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: events often bring with them violent and abrupt endings to

657
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: settled ages and long established norms. Those absorbing the impact

658
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: of these historical aftershocks rarely grasp the apocal changes in

659
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: real time. Yeah, when huge things happen, people don't necessarily

660
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 1: understand the full context of them when they have and

661
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: thanks Joe for for the really bombastic and and pretty

662
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: clownish opening of this editorial. And then he goes on

663
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: to talk about you know, nine eleven of World War Two,

664
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: and he talks about some of the greatest challenges, the

665
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: greatest challenges in the history of this country, challenges that

666
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: involved the threat of life and death to the United

667
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: States as well as millions of its people. Right, I

668
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: mean to to the end of us as a nation

669
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: and the end of us individually as as human beings,

670
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: depending on how it all went. And I just can't

671
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: help but but note that, you know, Scarborough has gotten

672
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: crushed for this idiot editorial today because he says that

673
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: that Trump is more dangerous to the fabric of American

674
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: than Bin Laden. Now, Joe Scarborough doesn't really know anything

675
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: about terrorism or Gehot or gehotism, right, He just knows

676
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 1: what he has read here or there in the newspaper

677
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: and what his research team tells him to say. And

678
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure he probably changes his position on

679
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: jihadism the same way he did on Trump. That's why

680
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean Scarborough as the anti Trumper is particularly self

681
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: serving and gross because when he thought that he was

682
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: going to have this great relationship with scar with with

683
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: Trump and then it was going to advance advances already.

684
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Scarborough's advanced well beyond the wildest dreams of

685
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: anybody that would look at him and say, yeah, that's

686
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: a guy who should have his have his own And

687
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: don't know, somebody think buck, you know, don't you sound

688
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: like you're no. Look, I'm trying to be honest with you.

689
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some people who are really really

690
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: good at what they do. If you want a a

691
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: very leftist point of view, you know, Rachel Maddow shows

692
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: a great place to go. I mean she is, she

693
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: is good at what she does. I I respectability, I

694
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: respect talent. I think Joe Scarborough just happens to have

695
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: some of the right friends in the right places. I

696
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: just I find nothing about him as a broadcaster or

697
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: in any other respect impressive, sir. Only not his writing.

698
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: But he sat down to write this, this editorial, and

699
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: it's that's the thing. It's it's worse than a an utterance, right,

700
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, like I do radio three hours a day,

701
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: I say, thinks sometimes I think that's not really how

702
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: I meant that. And while I'm pretty cautious or careful

703
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: and not wildly overstating things or getting into a place

704
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna have to say sorry about that, you know,

705
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: I know that it's going to happen. It's just the

706
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: reality of my business. But an editorial is something else.

707
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean to publish an opinion column in the Washington Post.

708
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: If you're Scarborough who is from I won't get into that.

709
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 1: And I've I've heard things that he's not a particularly

710
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: nice guy either, which I just can't. I can't drop

711
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: that from my mind because I've heard it from people

712
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: who who would know. But you know, maybe they just

713
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: have some personal people them. I don't know. I've never

714
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: met him, I've never interacted them, never worked with him.

715
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm just judging, basing all this, judging this on his

716
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 1: on his work. But he wrote this editorial and to

717
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: convinced or try to convince people that Trump is worse

718
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: than nine eleven when it comes to an attack on

719
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: the fabric of this country. This is something that only

720
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 1: a person who is crazy or has Trump derangement syndrome

721
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: could say. And that's why we call it a syndrome, because,

722
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: as I have told you. It is pathological. This is

723
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,479
Speaker 1: beyond just you know, we don't agree on an issue

724
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: of politics, you know, Joe Scarborough and I don't see

725
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: this the same way. This is I think that he

726
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: would have a hard time accepting the reality of you know,

727
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: the real implications of the words and the things that

728
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: he's saying, because he's so wrapped up in this notion

729
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: of Trump as an existential threat to the country, existential

730
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: threat house folks. You know, if Trump did any of

731
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: these things that they say he's talked about, or you

732
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: know that that the Woodward Book, which I would note

733
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: today even more people what Rob Portman came out and

734
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: Mike who was the other one, Rob Portman and someone

735
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: else came out today to say that the Woodword Book

736
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,959
Speaker 1: is not a fair representation of things that were said

737
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: or meetings is not accurate. Uh And what Word has

738
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: had plenty of problems in the past with people claiming

739
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: that he's you know, is his ability to string together

740
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: these events are let's just say it's questionable at times,

741
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: and it is certainly questionable. But you know, I I

742
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: sit here and and I'm trying to wrap my mind

743
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: around why somebody like Joe Scarborough. Uh would would say this,

744
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: and he must believe that Trump is on the on

745
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: the precipice or or Trump is is just a bad

746
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: day away from starting a military conflict with North Korea,

747
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: which is a stupid thing to believe. I mean, there's

748
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 1: no real basis for this. And on top of that,

749
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: I would offer to you that, yeah, then then we

750
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: would have a discussion about, you know, removing the president

751
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: right then. I mean, if he did these things that

752
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: they always say he's just about to do, well, then

753
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: I think there could be a discussion about is this

754
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: man fit to be president? But all we see is

755
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: a president who's getting great results, who's implementing some very

756
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,919
Speaker 1: conservative policies, who is remaking the judiciary in a way

757
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: that would make Scalia proud looking down from on high,

758
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: and you know, goes after the media in a way

759
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 1: that some find a little bit aggressive or vulgar or whatever.

760
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: But I think it's great. I think the media needs

761
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: to get slapped around a little bit by by the

762
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 1: The only person who can really do it right now

763
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: is Trump. I mean, the only person who really gets

764
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: their attention quite this way is is Donald Trump. And

765
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,080
Speaker 1: and they act like that at any moment. Now, there's

766
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: gonna be some crisis that uh just unravels in front

767
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: of us, because Trump is, you know, not of sound mind.

768
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: You know, That's the the gray irony here, folks, is

769
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: that I think that the people that think that Trump

770
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: is crazy are the ones who are crazy. I think

771
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: that the Joe scarbor Rows, I mean, Trump is living

772
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: rent free in their heads. Man. I mean, he's gotten

773
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: so deep into their world, he is, he has pushed

774
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: so far into you know, how they view themselves and

775
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 1: how they view their role in America that there they've

776
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: lost it. They've lost it because this editorial, this is

777
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: this is sheer idiocy. This is not this is not

778
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 1: an easy mistake that anybody could make. This is not

779
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: some one off. It's not oh well, you know, no

780
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: big deal man, Like I just thought we would, you know,

781
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: talk about something, and I got a little bit messed up,

782
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: or I got a little ahead of myself. No, this

783
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: is an editorial submitted to the Washington Post where a

784
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: prominent cable news so called conservative by the way, is

785
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 1: saying that Trump is a greater danger to the fabric

786
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: of him and now I know he's like, well, the

787
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: fabric of America is more about ideas and every but

788
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, as we've been discussing, I mean nine eleven,

789
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 1: we look back at it now and think that we

790
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 1: had it in hand and we were gonna, you know,

791
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: meaning the threat again, the threat of Gehodism and the

792
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: war on terror at the time, folks, as we all

793
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: can remember, if we think back to it, none of

794
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,840
Speaker 1: that was nearly as clear. And geodis m for a

795
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: short period time was a real threat to our way

796
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 1: of life and will be again if we are not vigilant,

797
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: and that includes vigilance against stupidity like what we see

798
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: here from Scarborough. The FBI calls home title theft one

799
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: of the fastest growing crimes out there. Brace yourself, because

800
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: having your credit card stolen is nothing compared to the

801
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: hell you're in for once an identity thief takes control

802
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 1: of your home's title. Folks, I've seen how this goes.

803
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,160

804
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: easy it is to steal your home's title. It is

805
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: shockingly simple. For the bad guys. All the need to

806
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: do is get online, replace you with an alias on

807
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: your home's title, and then they can borrow every penny

808
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: that you have in your home's equity and leave you

809
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: with the payments that take out a loan on your home. Folks,

810
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: it is really bad stuff, but home Title Lock has

811

Speaker 1: your back. It forms a virtual perimeter around your home's title.

Speaker 1: The instances on tampers with it. They're on it, and

813
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: they helped shut that nonsense down. For just pennies a day.

814
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,319

819
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: that book in the anonymous column, I mean, it's quite

820
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: evident that President Trump there's a coupe. I mean, there's

821
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,359
Speaker 1: a coupe like to the same there was a coup

822
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: by General McClellan in the senior leadership in the Union

823
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: Army to try to thwart what Abraham Lincoln wanted to

824
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: do in the Civil War. You have an exact type

825
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: of coup right now. What was said in that anonymous

826
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: letter was absolutely outrageous, and I think the President will

827
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: take immediate and direct action to defind out who the

828
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: conspirators are. I don't think there's any one author. I

829
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: think there's an author that. I think there's a somebody

830
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: that drafted it. There are many voices in there. I

831
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: think you can tell the way it's written. I think

832
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: that's a much broader conspiracy than people think. I think

833
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: it's probably six to a dozen people. And I think

834
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,359
Speaker 1: you would immediately start to do what Andrew Jackson did,

835
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: do what Abraham Lincoln did, find out who's responsible and

836
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: fire him. Steve Bannon breathing fire on this issue of

837
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: the hunt for a non September as we call it yesterday,

838
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: but the hunt for the anonymous editorialist or editorial contributor

839
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: or whatever who has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that

840
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: there is in fact a deep state, that that's what's

841
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: going on here. And while the the effort was was

842
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: made to try and make the deep state component of

843
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: this sound like they're acting responsibly and ethically and that

844
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: they're they're really doing something we should all be thankful for,

845
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, most folks who read this,

846
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: and we're being honest with themselves, said this is terrible

847
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 1: um for our government and it's really actually very damaging

848
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: for those who are quite anti Trump, because there's no

849
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: more discussion, folks, whether there is a deep state. There

850
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: is only questions or how large and how active is it,

851
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: how much is it trying to undermine the president of

852
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: the United States. I just, you know, I want to

853
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: put this in the context here. Imagine for a moment

854
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: that there was a group of people at the FBI

855
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,280
Speaker 1: and the Department of Justice who had tried to open,

856
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: or had opened rather a criminal investigation of a sitting

857
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:36,800
Speaker 1: president under very very dubious at best circumstances. Imagine that

858
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: there were people who worked for the government who had

859
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: been described as crying at their desks because they were

860
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: so upset at the prospect of working for that president.

861
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: And then somebody who is described as being a senior

862
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: official in the actual White House said that the president

863
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: was having his will thwarted by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who

864
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: think they know better than the president. Imagine all of that,

865
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 1: which is what's going on right now, but the president

866
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: is Obama. And just think for a moment, what would

867
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: the reaction be in the press if if put aside

868
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: all the things that I just said, if you just

869
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: had a solitary editorial, forget about all the Russia inclusion

870
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: stuff everything else. If you would have had one person

871
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: in the White House who had published an editorial saying,

872
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: I think Barack Obama is so incompetent that I refused

873
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: to let him read documents that he should be able

874
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 1: to read. US President State said, I work to prevent

875
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: his decision making from being enacted. You know that the

876
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: media would be screaming and freaking out over this in

877
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,240
Speaker 1: every possible way. And here we are. That's the reality

878
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. And it's on the one hand, the

879
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: New York Times is clearly very proud of itself, there's

880
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: no about that. They think that they've done some great

881
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: service here. Uh. And and on the other I think

882
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: my more recent revelation that they're not going to try

883
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: to find this editorial columnists, I think that's true. I

884
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: think that they feel like it's served its purpose and

885
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: that's that and there's nothing else that they really need

886
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 1: to spend any other time or energy on um. And

887
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: it's just crazy, folks, It's just crazy. I mean, you

888
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: know nothing in terms of finding out who wrote this thing. Uh,

889
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: it is bizarre to me how self satisfied the media

890
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: is with this whole thing. But you got to remember

891
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: that that the New York Times and others they have

892
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: to appeal to. What you could say is the Maxine

893
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: Waters viewpoint, the Maxine Waters wing of the Democrat Party,

894
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: And it sounds something like this play clip one. I

895
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: wake up in the middle of the night, and all

896
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: I can think about is I'm going to get him.

897
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: This deployable, despicable human being that occupied as the White

898
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: House should not be there. We should not be comfortable

899
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: with it. We should not think about how somebody else

900
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: is gonna deal with This is all of our fight.

901
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: And every day I say I'm in this fight, they say, Maxine,

902
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: please don't say impeachment anymore. And when they say that,

903
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:26,240
Speaker 1: I say, impeachment. Impeachment, impeachment, intenpeach. Someone who disrespects the Constitution,

904
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: who disrespects human beings period, who's self centered, who does

905
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 1: not care about the Constitution, who's alienated our allies, who's

906
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: tied when booting won't condemn them in bed with the

907
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 1: oligarchs of Russia. If you cannot talk about impeachment, given

908
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: what we have learned about him and the way that

909
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: he's defined himself. Then impeachment means nothing. Someone asked, but

910
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: what about Pence? If you were able to impeach Pence

911
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:56,959
Speaker 1: will be worse? And I said, look one at a time.

912
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: If God made the bet pas, well tell him. You know,

913
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: she's she's not alone in this thinking, folks, that's a

914
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: pretty all the things she said there. As much as

915
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 1: I know you're here in maximum water, She's like, Buck,

916
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: why are you making me listen to this again? Because

917
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: it's it's a pretty good overview of what Democrat thinking

918
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: is right now. They're not making some big case, but

919
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: this in fact here, uh we got We got Obama

920
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: himself saying that you know you better, you better bring

921
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: back sanity to the country. Play clip two. There's a

922
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: consequential moment in our history. Yeah, And the fact is that, uh,

923
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: if we don't step up, things can't get worse. Where

924
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: there's a vacuum in our democracy when we are not participating,

925
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: we're not paying attention, when we're not stepping up. Other

926
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: voices filled the board. But good news is in two

927
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: months we have a chance to restore some sanity in

928
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: our politics. What is insane exactly about our politics? Right?

929
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: Now that that Trump tweets things about how Jim Acosta

930
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: acts like a clown at the at the White House,

931
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: I mean he does. What is there that is insane

932
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: right now? I mean that's that's what is it? Insane?

933
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: Like insanely awesome, bro, Like we've got the lowest unemployment rate.

934
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: It's insane that they use these words and they're trying

935
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: to scare people, and they can't really point to anything.

936
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 1: I keep getting this this uh, repetitive series of talking

937
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 1: points from people, including conservatives who hate Trump, which, as

938
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of them. Whether they're

939
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: still conservatives or not, we can leave that discussion for

940
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: another time. But they keep repeating the same things about

941
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, Trump said this or he said that, and

942
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: I don't like this, and I like that, and I

943
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: see it, and I say to myself, this should not

944
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: matter to me. Why why do they think it's going

945
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: to matter to me what they say about what Trump said.

946
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: This is just punditry in place of policy. It's just

947
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: offering up prognostications about the way the country is going

948
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: about the future of the country without saying what the

949
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,239
Speaker 1: real nuts and bolts shortcomings are. And I sit here

950
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: and I think to myself, well, okay, the same things,

951
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: Like the country is insane right now? Country feels very

952
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: sane to me. What because we've had a lot of

953
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: departures in the White House, because Trump doesn't necessarily always

954
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: bring in the best people. Maybe he sometimes puts too

955
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: high a premium on loyalty over competence. Okay, nobody's perfect.

956
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: I've never said Trump is perfect, and you know that

957
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:43,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he's perfect. I think he

958
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:48,839
Speaker 1: is for his time and what he's trying to accomplish remarkable.

959
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that I think everything he does

960
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: is great. But I certainly don't think that he's crazy. Uh.

961
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 1: That brings up the whole twenty fifmenment discussion. I don't

962
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 1: buy that. I don't believe that our politics are insane

963
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: right now. You know. I just think the Democrats really

964
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: want to go back to an era when they could

965
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: handle Republicans the way they handled Romney and McCain and uh,

966
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: you know others before them, where it's just we're always

967
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 1: on defense, we're always slowly losing, and they only say

968
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: nice things about you while you're losing on an issue.

969
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: And then once you've lost, They trash you again. That's

970
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 1: how the Left deals with the Republicans. So uh, and

971
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: that's not That's not the game that I think we

972
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: should be playing. That's not the way that we should

973
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: be involved here. We've got much more team. Stay with me.

974
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: We will experience power atages. We will have infrastructure damage

975
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,560
Speaker 1: that will be homes damage, that will be uh, debris

976
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 1: on the roads. Uh. This is a dangerous storm, the

977
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: storm wheel and has the potential to uh cause loss

978
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: of life, and we cannot you know, uh emphasize the

979
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: importance to take action now. I've received a briefing from

980
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: Secretary Nils and administrat along and my senior staff regarding

981
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: Hurricane Florence and other tropical systems that will soon impact

982
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: the United States and its territories. The safety of American

983
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: people is my absolute highest priority. We are sparing no expense.

984
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: We are totally prepared. We're ready. We're as ready as

985
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: anybody's ever been. And it looks to me, and it

986
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: looks to all of a lot of very talented people

987
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: to do this for a living like this is going

988
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: to be a storm that's going to be a very

989
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: large one, far larger than we've seen in perhaps decades.

990
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: I've spoken with the governors of South Carolina, North Carolina,

991
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: and Virginia. They're prepared, We're prepared. We're working very well

992
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: in conjunction with the governors. So you've got this category

993
00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: for hurricane Hurricane Florence that is likely to make landfall.

994
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,479
Speaker 1: What in the next forty eight hours or so, people

995
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: are expecting massive flooding. I'm actually here in the path

996
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: of this thing in the swamp in d C. Where

997
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: I think flooding is going to be the primary concern. Mike,

998
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: are we are we at the phase yet? Are people

999
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: sure enough this is gonna be bad that you know,

1000
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: the whole foods all of a sudden is running out

1001
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: of you know, bread on the shelves kind of thing.

1002
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: Are you seeing any of that stuff? Yeah, that's what

1003
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: they're talent. Everybody, Um, it's it's get out now. It's um.

1004
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: You know, you have a great deal obviously, have great

1005
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: deal empathy r anybody in its pathway, but you know,

1006
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: everything on it is I'm seeing right now is get out. Well, right,

1007
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: that's if you're in the direct pathway. But I even

1008
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: mean for you know, people, something I remember in New

1009
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: York City some years ago, Remember there was Sandy, which

1010
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: was really but Sandy was really bad because of the flooding.

1011
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: The actual storm didn't seem because I was in Manhattan

1012
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: when that happened, didn't seem like it was quite that

1013
00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: bad until you realize that the flooding and then the

1014
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 1: power outage that came from the flooding happened. UH in

1015
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 1: this want to I think they'll be flooding and it's

1016
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: the coast of the Carolina is is gonna get hammer

1017
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: But I assume the whole Eastern Seaboard is pretty much

1018
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna turn into one big wet mess. Yeah, that's what

1019
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: it looks like. They said it's UH slowing down and

1020
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: that that could mean more rain droppage in UH on

1021
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: the entire Eastern seaboard. What's where where were you during Sandy?

1022
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: I was. I was here in New York. I was

1023
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: in UH, I was in Brooklyn and John, where were

1024
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: you during Sandy? I was at home here in New York.

1025
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: And did did you guys lose did you guys lose power? No?

1026
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: Not me, Yeah, I hadle I feel like I got

1027
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: out I escaped with nothing. I didn't lose power for

1028
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: a minute, and I didn't think it was that bad

1029
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: until I actually walked out. At the time, I lived

1030
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: near Prospect Park, and I'm I walked out the next

1031
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: day and it was like there was trees down everywhere.

1032
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: So I was in a building when that happened. I

1033
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: was a building in just north of Madison Square Park

1034
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: and and uh at the time, I was living just

1035
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: south of of Madison Square Park. But I was with

1036
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: a with a friend at the time, and uh, I

1037
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,439
Speaker 1: was able to get up to the roof and see

1038
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: and at one point I remember going up there at

1039
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: night and you could see the whole southern part of

1040
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: Manhattan blacked out, and that was a really just an

1041
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: eerie thing to see. I remember at the time people

1042
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: were all like, well, you know, we know not how

1043
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: long this is gonna last. I mean, in the hindsight

1044
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: being everyone's like, well, you know, it wasn't gonna be

1045
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: that bad, and you know, they got the power back

1046
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: on pretty quickly. But when you have a big blackout

1047
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: like that in a city like New York City, it

1048
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: was it was pretty unnerving. Man. And I remember the

1049
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: next morning, the night after the or the morning after

1050
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: the storm, which you know, really hit hard at night uh,

1051
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: people were walking in droves. I mean just just people

1052
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: walking north in Manhattan looking on They're all in the

1053
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: street and it was like you could tell everybody had

1054
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: been through a rough night, and you know, uh, and

1055
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: it was because they were looking for a power outlet

1056
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: to plug their phone is into. Because you know, we

1057
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 1: just take this for granted now, but if you don't

1058
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: have access to your phone, right you think about your

1059
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: job and what you're going on, you feel very disconnected

1060
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: from everything that's going on. So all these people were

1061
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: just looking for outlets in the power zone to get

1062
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: to their phone. But I tell you, Mike and John,

1063
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 1: it's civilization hangs by a pretty thin thread. You see

1064
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: this in some of these in some of these disaster

1065
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: storm scenarios. Yeah. Absolutely, well anyway, but we hope that everybody,

1066
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, is everyone's listening, as I know, we've got

1067
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the Carolinas. Uh. So you know,

1068
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 1: if you're in a zone, please please, you know, heed

1069
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: the warning. It's it's always better to come back after

1070
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: the fact and feel like you know it was you

1071
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: were being overly cautious. I do remember, I forget what

1072
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: the storm was. Was another time when everybody in New

1073
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: York was filling their bathtubs full of watercause they thought

1074
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: we weren't gonna have any water. And that storm it

1075
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: wasn't sandy, it was a different storm. That storm was

1076
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 1: totally nothing. I mean, was that Irene? Yeah, John, you

1077
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: remember that, right? Every I mean, and there were stories

1078
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: about people getting into fight to grocery stores over food,

1079
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 1: and I mean, it was crazy and nothing happened. It's

1080
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: kind of amazing that the that at that stage and

1081
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: at that level of sophistication, the Weather Service could get

1082
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: something so wrong. But you know one thing that I

1083
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 1: found frustrating that I too, is you can tell there's

1084
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 1: some people that seemed to be uh waiting for this

1085
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: to turn into a a political political thing. You know,

1086
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: if this is they they've already tried to make. And

1087
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: I just had a team from the Hill come back

1088
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: from Puerto Rico where they were doing reporting on the

1089
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: ground there about the about the effort to rebuild, and

1090
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: the media was was trying to push to make Puerto

1091
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: Rico Trump's Katrina. That's been the big effort. That's been

1092
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: what they were saying all along. But I mean, I

1093
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: spoke to the one delegate from Puerto Rico. Remember they

1094
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: have somebody who's in Congress but doesn't have voting rights

1095
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 1: in Congress. I spoke to their delegate and she said, look,

1096
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's not that we were Yes, it was

1097
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: terrorrble and the island was was really badly beat up

1098
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:04,720
Speaker 1: and the relief efforts couldn't get to us fast enough.

1099
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 1: But it wasn't that there was any mouthfeasance or recklessness

1100
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: in the part of the government. It's that they were

1101
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: prepared for, you know, like a Category one or something,

1102
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: and it was a Category four. I mean it was

1103
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: they got hit really hard. Um, so so that was

1104
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: that was a big you know, there was no there

1105
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: you could tell they were setting up to make it.

1106
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Oh well Trump Trump fell asleep on the job here. No,

1107
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 1: Actually they they had preparations they made on it just

1108
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. The preparations weren't enough. So in this case,

1109
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: I think flooding is the big thing. Everyone's and flooding

1110
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: and high winds, I think, or what I'm seeing, everybody

1111
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: needs to be very careful and stay away from that stuff.

1112
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: That's my that's my sense of it. I wish I

1113
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: don't have much that And also you're gonna see a

1114
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: lot of discussion of how they sees about climate It's

1115
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: like clockwork. It's like it's climate change. And even if

1116
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 1: the storm doesn't, because it can change very quickly. And

1117
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: if we had somebody who act you understood, you know,

1118
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,439
Speaker 1: atmospheric and oceanic pressure and all that stuff. I don't

1119
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: know about any of that stuff, they could explain to

1120
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 1: you how it happens. You know, once it makes landfall,

1121
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: the storm starts to run out of energy very quickly.

1122
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: But it could it could slow down considerably before then.

1123
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: But I guarantee you, just because there's so much attention

1124
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: on the issue right now, there will be people probably

1125
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: from vox dot com and others who jumped to see

1126
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: climate change. You know, once again it turns into a

1127
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: climate change story. It's it's always if if the storm

1128
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: is huge, it proves climate change. If the storm is

1129
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: not a big deal at all, well it's an opportunity

1130
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 1: to talk about how the next storm will be huge

1131
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: because of climate change. These people, it's their their belief

1132
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: because it is like a religious belief for them. It

1133
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: is unfalsifiable. They do not care what the you know,

1134
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And I am hearing, by the way,

1135
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 1: this is just gonna side that my sources here in

1136
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: d C. Are telling me that there's gonna be a

1137
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,040
Speaker 1: big announcment from the White House that has to do

1138
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 1: with the UH classified information and the FISA requests and

1139
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Carter Page. I'm hearing that this is gonna happen, and

1140
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna happen next week. And one of the

1141
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: reasons that it has been put off is because President

1142
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: Trump wants to make sure that the focus right now

1143
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 1: is on this storm, that the federal government, all of

1144
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:24,439
Speaker 1: its efforts that should be focused on the storm are

1145
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: and that nobody can make the claim that there was

1146
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: any kind of you know, taking taking an eye off

1147
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: the ball here. And because if the people, if there's

1148
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: misery and all that, they they will turn that immediately,

1149
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,919
Speaker 1: no matter how much it's really Mother Nature's fault, they'll

1150
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: turn it into an opportunity to try to try to

1151
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: bash Trump. But but I I am hearing that you're

1152
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna see a big announcement, a big release of information

1153
01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: from the White House. And and look, this is kind

1154
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: of a a version of the October Surprise, but it's

1155
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: an October surprise from the good guy eyes. In this case,

1156
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: it would be that we would finally get the information

1157
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: that we need, finally get access to the data. Or

1158
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: in this case, I guess the words about what really

1159
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: was the basis for the fives A warn against Carter Page.

1160
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:19,959
Speaker 1: If it's as bad as everyone I know is saying,

1161
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: if it's as bad as we have been led to believe,

1162
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: think about what this could do going into the mid terms.

1163
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it would just prove to everybody that there

1164
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: was a very real effort to try and and take

1165
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: down the Trump administration. So anything that that is as

1166
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: it should be, that is taking a far back seat

1167
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: too right now to making sure everybody's safe and gets

1168
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: out of the path of this of of Hurricane Florence.

1169
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: By the way, if we if any of you are

1170
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 1: able to listen and call in tomorrow who are in

1171
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: the Carolina as we want to hear from you for sure,

1172
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: know how it's going, how you're doing. So we've got

1173
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: more show coming up. Team stay with me. You can't

1174
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:59,000
Speaker 1: repeal history, and almost every election two years into any

1175
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: new administration, the party of the presidency loses seats. They

1176
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: don't always lose the body, but almost always loses seats,

1177
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: and so we know this is going to be a

1178
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: very challenging election on the Senate side. I'll just list

1179
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: you a bunch of races that are dead, even Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, Montana,

1180
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana, West Virginia, and Florida, all of

1181
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: them too close to call. And every one of them

1182
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 1: um like a knife fight in an alley. I mean,

1183
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: just a brawl in every one of those uh places.

1184
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: I hopen the smoke clears that will still have a

1185
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: majority in the Senate. And this is a really big

1186
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: one for the group. The n f IB is out

1187
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: with its monthly read on Optimism showing a new all

1188
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: time high for the month of August of one oh

1189
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 1: eight point eight. This is nearly a one point increase

1190
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: from last month. This also breaks the previous record of

1191
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: one oh eight set back in ninth three. This is

1192
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: optimism for the full year. It's holding well above The

1193
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: index is historical average of the biggest gains this month

1194
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: contributing to the jump or plans to increase inventories, plans

1195
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: to make capital outlays, and plans to increase employment. So

1196
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: someone needs to explain to the left. Dare I say

1197
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:25,600
Speaker 1: to the haters out there, how it is that this

1198
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: is the quote Obama economy that we're enjoying right now. Meanwhile,

1199
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: we are setting records that stretched back to the Reagan

1200
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: administration on things like the Small Business Optimism Index. I

1201
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: need somebody to look me in the eye and explain

1202
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 1: to me why is it that we are setting all

1203
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: time records when it comes to unemployment in UH having

1204
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: such low unemployment in minority communities. Folks. They have no

1205
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 1: answer for this. You know, I didn't spend a lot

1206
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: of time today talking to you about the mid terms,

1207
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: because trust me, once we get into octope over, it's

1208
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: gonna be all the terms, all the time, at least

1209
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: in the news cycle. I mean, I'm not going to

1210
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: be like that. We got we got other things to

1211
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: focus on too. But they they have no answer on

1212
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: the economy. It's if there's any X factor here that

1213
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,560
Speaker 1: could lead to a different, different end result in the

1214
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 1: mid terms. And what we've been led to believe, which

1215
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:24,720
Speaker 1: is essentially that it's all over for UH. For Republicans

1216
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,200
Speaker 1: in the House, that they're gonna lose the majority, no

1217
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: question about it, And and this is the way it's

1218
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna go. Um. I just think that they have not

1219
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 1: made a compelling case the American people about this and

1220
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: and Trump hatred is just not enough. It's enough for

1221
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: the looney left, it's enough for people that just despise Trump,

1222
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: no matter, no matter what. But that's not enough of

1223
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: the country. You know, I saw these polls today. Oh

1224
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: my gosh, these poles are so they're they're so useless.

1225
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: This pull out about you know how thirty one percent

1226
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:01,720
Speaker 1: of Americans think Trump is is honest. And I look

1227
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,600
Speaker 1: at this and they do this with this whole ha ha,

1228
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: but look at this time, Trump didn't tell the truth.

1229
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: To look at that time, Trump didn't tell the truth.

1230
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: And this is just a waste of everyone's time. Because

1231
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: the people who think that Trump is honest mean that

1232
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:20,560
Speaker 1: he's honest about what matters. Nobody is uh completely in

1233
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: the dark about how Trump has a braggadocious quality, how

1234
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:28,760
Speaker 1: how he has perhaps a tad of a of a

1235
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: hyperbolic streak when he talks about things. He can be

1236
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 1: loose with language. We all get that, But the media

1237
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,600
Speaker 1: runs these poles, They run these polls about things like

1238
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: you know what, not just your support for Trump, but also,

1239
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, what do you think of Trump's trustworthiness and

1240
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 1: how do you think he's handling this issue or that issue.

1241
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: To try and put a number on their case, which

1242
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: is that Trump is unpopular and he's not doing a

1243
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 1: good job and all the rest of it, and it's

1244
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: just I think that it's not going to work the

1245
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,760
Speaker 1: way they think it is. Um. My belief is that

1246
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: a lot of folks, especially if you're in the kind

1247
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: of now it's base midterms are all about base turnout.

1248
01:11:07,439 --> 01:11:09,639
Speaker 1: And I get all that stuff and the conventional wisdom,

1249
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 1: but if if anyone's showing up to the polls and

1250
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,680
Speaker 1: they're like, you know, I haven't yet figured out, you know,

1251
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: if I'm happy with my particular representative or not, so

1252
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote party line, They're gonna look at what's

1253
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: going on in the country right now, and they're gonna

1254
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: find all these different reasons why the economy is so

1255
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 1: strong that probably worth just riding this out a little

1256
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 1: bit more. And I've been saying this. My my feeling

1257
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 1: is that Trump is essentially politically invulnerable unless or until

1258
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: there is a major recession. When we see a major

1259
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 1: pullback in the markets, when when all of a sudden

1260
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: people have a drop of the stock market, their four

1261
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: oh one case have gotten hammered, and you see a big,

1262
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: big push in or a big spike in unemployment, then

1263
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: a lot of these other criticisms matter, But things like

1264
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: do you think Trump is honest? I just don't believe

1265
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: the American people are going to focus in enough on

1266
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: that one that it makes any difference really in in

1267
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: the midterms. And and beyond that, you have each individual

1268
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 1: candidate running their own race. And the Democrats, I I

1269
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: can say this for them, they've at least noticed that

1270
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: they probably shouldn't run far left candidates in places like

1271
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 1: like Texas. They shouldn't run far left candidates in places

1272
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: where they're gonna have to work really hard to fool

1273
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: some Americans who are kind of in the center. And

1274
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 1: you think the Democrats in their center because they're not

1275
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: Democrats are party of of the extreme left now at

1276
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 1: least that's ideologically where they are, and they they vote

1277
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 1: in lockstep, folks. So just because somebody who's a Democrat

1278
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: shows up and starts saying, you know, well, I like

1279
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 1: guns and I like hunting, and you know, in some

1280
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,799
Speaker 1: cases they'll say you know, I'm a veteran and you're like, Okay,

1281
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: well it sounds kind of Republican to me, but I

1282
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: guess you're a Democrat. I'll vote for you. Keep in

1283
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: mind that that Democrat who likes guns in the Second

1284
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: Amendment and is pro union and likes the military is

1285
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 1: going to vote with Nancy Pelosi on basically everything. So

1286
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: that's what people need to remember. That that that's the

1287
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: message that has to get that has to get through.

1288
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: By the coming up, we've got a great third hour.

1289
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to you about the Jack Ryan series

1290
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,640
Speaker 1: on Amazon. I watched the whole season. I ripped through it.

1291
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Molly and I watched it together. And then we'll have

1292
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: right after that, a a real door kicking superhero. Sean

1293
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: Parnell will be joining us. A. Sean Parnell has got

1294
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: a new book out. We'll talk to about that and

1295
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,759
Speaker 1: just spend some time hanging with Sean because we always

1296
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: like it when he comes by the Freedom Hut. And

1297
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 1: then how do they Miss America pageant work out without

1298
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: the swimsuit competition. I'm gonna do a very thorough, deep

1299
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: dive analysis of the no swimsuit Miss America situation coming up.

1300
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:03,200
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence.

1301
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:08,960
Speaker 1: Magnor mistake, American ring, You're a great American again. This

1302
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts Sexton, No, I can't

1303
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 1: go to Yemen. I'm an analyst. I don't interrogate people.

1304
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: I write reports. Get on the plane. We gotta figure

1305
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,519
Speaker 1: out a way to get inside of his head. Must

1306
01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: have been slay man. Is my husband? He don't know

1307
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 1: where I am. My son is with him. Is he

1308
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 1: planning something here? Harry, it was only at the beginning.

1309
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Just follow him all watch to learn. We have to

1310
01:14:50,720 --> 01:15:02,680
Speaker 1: chase this down, my son, get him back. Prom I

1311
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 1: can't go to Yemen. I'm an analyst. I write reports. Ah, Yes,

1312
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 1: brings back memories. So that's from the new Jack Ryan

1313
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 1: series on Amazon Prime, which many of you have been

1314
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,599
Speaker 1: asking me about, brought to my attention and emailing about

1315
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: and such, And I gotta tell you that I like it.

1316
01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:24,560
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I think that they did a

1317
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: good job. There's some stuff that's a little perfunctory, and

1318
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: the writing is a little too cute in some places.

1319
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,920
Speaker 1: In terms of the storyline, I'll give you my my

1320
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 1: full sense of it. I mean, it's entertaining, it's well done,

1321
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: the production values are good. It moves quickly, so I

1322
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: really like it. I'll probably give it an a minus. Uh.

1323
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,360
Speaker 1: The language that they use and the terminology and the

1324
01:15:50,439 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: way they talk about things, a lot of the uh,

1325
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:56,599
Speaker 1: the different acronyms that come up. They did their research.

1326
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: They actually use real lingo and and look, not all

1327
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 1: of it, but but a fair amount of it, which

1328
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: I like because it's just laziness for a lot of writers,

1329
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:10,320
Speaker 1: a lot of writers otherwise. And I like the scene

1330
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: where he says we're not agents, were officers, meaning you

1331
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:15,760
Speaker 1: know people say CIA agent. That's always the big tell

1332
01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,760
Speaker 1: for us, especially when somebody says, you know, well my

1333
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 1: my uncle was a former CIA agent. It's like, well,

1334
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: if you really knew him, and if he really was one,

1335
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: he would have told you. It's c I a officer.

1336
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: It is. It is not a you're a CIA agent

1337
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:34,799
Speaker 1: if you're an an asset being run by a CIA officer,

1338
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 1: a one who works for a CI officer in getting

1339
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: espionage information. So you know that that's an important distinction

1340
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 1: that make I mean, there's a lot of things that

1341
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:50,480
Speaker 1: are good look, John John Krasinski is a very charismatic

1342
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:52,639
Speaker 1: leading guy. Who would have thought Jim from the Office,

1343
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, you put on twenty pounds of muscle, and uh,

1344
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's an action here. It's kind

1345
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 1: of like the other guy that I really like from

1346
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: Parks and Wreck, who also what's his name, Pratt, Chris Pratt,

1347
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 1: who put on a whole bunch of muscle and now

1348
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 1: he's an action star too. Man. I wish I could

1349
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: take off six months and just just work out, eat

1350
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: chicken breast and cruciferous vegetables all day and then just

1351
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 1: see what happens. That'd be fun. But I don't think

1352
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 1: I've got that in the schedule anytime soon. I barely

1353
01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: have time to sleep. But Jack Ryan back the show.

1354
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 1: Some of the things I like. It's contemporary, so it's

1355
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: kind of the Jack Ryan architecture set up by Tom

1356
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:33,799
Speaker 1: Clancy in terms of characters and basic storyline. Fast forwardage

1357
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: it today, so you've got Isis and Syria and Yemen

1358
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,679
Speaker 1: and the Muslim suburbs of Paris, and you know, there's

1359
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 1: just there's a lot of stuff they work in it

1360
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 1: that's good. There's some good footage of Langley and it

1361
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: I like that, Uh Krasinski lives in Georgetown. Look, I

1362
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:52,800
Speaker 1: can't help but feel a little nostalgic. I watched this

1363
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 1: show and it's about a C I a analyst, and

1364
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 1: he lives in Georgetown, and he works on Mid East issues,

1365
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: and I think at one point he walks into the

1366
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,839
Speaker 1: CTC he's working with CTC. Well, I was a CIA

1367
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: analyst in CTC who lived in Georgetown. So now I

1368
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: did not get air lifted by the Coast Guard from

1369
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: a fancy party on the Maryland shore in front of

1370
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:21,600
Speaker 1: my soon to be girlfriend. Nothing that cool happened to me.

1371
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: But I was in the room in some big briefing

1372
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: rooms full of a lot of big han schos at

1373
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: the in the intelligence community. Overall, I did sit down

1374
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 1: with director Mike Hayden at different times and and brief

1375
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: him on things and so so just it brought back

1376
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 1: some memories. Um, I would really be curious to hear

1377
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: from some friends in the special operations community what they

1378
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: think of the scenes where they use Jaysack guys or

1379
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 1: when they are playing Jaysack guys. I should say, Uh,

1380
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:59,600
Speaker 1: to do different raids and the military component of it,

1381
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: I mean, on the if I'm going to analyze how

1382
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: realistic the analyst stuff is, the basics of it are correct,

1383
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 1: and that yeah, you look at you know, look at

1384
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: phone records and email records, and it's a lot of

1385
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:16,639
Speaker 1: investigative work. Uh. It does not move, of course, anywhere

1386
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: near the universe of his you know, as quickly as

1387
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: it does in the show. Krasinski sits there and he goes,

1388
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: you know what, and he all of a sudden just

1389
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: knows the whole plan and would look, you gotta suspend

1390
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: disbelief with these things. If they made a show about

1391
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:29,839
Speaker 1: being a CI analyst that was real, it would involve

1392
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: a lot of uh, long arduous treks to the Starbucks.

1393
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's not what people think that it is.

1394
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: There's some other cool stuff, you know, there's some undisclosed

1395
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: locations and things where you get to do some really

1396
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 1: interesting training and other stuff. But you know, overall, I

1397
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:50,679
Speaker 1: think that it's it's a good series, a good show.

1398
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: And here's the big part of it, the part of

1399
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: it that I think a lot of you will really

1400
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:56,640
Speaker 1: like if you haven't seen it already. Uh, it was

1401
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: advertised to me because I saw this making the rounds

1402
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 1: on social media as oh, this is a show that

1403
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: celebrates toxic masculinity and white male privilege, and I was like, sold,

1404
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: sign me up. This sounds great. You know, we're not

1405
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna have to watch a show that is constantly jamming

1406
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 1: some kind of an agenda down our throats. You know,

1407
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: I really don't need a show about a a a

1408
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: tri sexual uh you know, non gender binary Eskimo who

1409
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry Inuit who happens to be a super special

1410
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: covert agent or something who also knows lots of karate.

1411
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 1: I don't need that. I just want I just want

1412
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 1: good characters. And I also would like the recognition of

1413
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: the reality that America is in right now, which is

1414
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:53,160
Speaker 1: that some of our most dangerous and implacable foes are

1415
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: in fact jihadists. That doesn't mean that we're at war

1416
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: with the Muslim world. All that stuff still applies of worse.

1417
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:03,320
Speaker 1: It's it's embarrassing that we feel the need to say that.

1418
01:21:03,439 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 1: But you know, if media Matters is listening to this,

1419
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 1: I gotta make sure that I cover myself because we

1420
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: all know that already, and we have many Muslim allies

1421
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: in that fight. But you know, radical Islam is a

1422
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: real threat or real danger to us, and at least

1423
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: so far, in this show on Amazon Prime, The Jack

1424
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Show, they do not uh go down the road

1425
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: of well, the real threat isn't gee hottests, it's you know,

1426
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: white nationalists who have overtaken the US government or something.

1427
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 1: It's you see so much of this from Hollywood, and

1428
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: it's just annoying and it doesn't resonate with us because

1429
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 1: when you're worried about a biochem weapon going off, biological

1430
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,560
Speaker 1: chemical weapon going off somewhere, the chances are that you

1431
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be from a guy who's gonna yell

1432
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 1: a lahaak bar right before he detonates it. That's just

1433
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:51,640
Speaker 1: reality and our arch in this case, you know, our

1434
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 1: entertainment with a show like this should reflect at some

1435
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,560
Speaker 1: level what are our reality is. It just makes it

1436
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: much more interesting and enjoyable experience. By the way that

1437
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: the character who's kind of the the well he's really

1438
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 1: a supervisor's gonna say the right hand. But the buddy

1439
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: cop element of the show, and it's obviously a c

1440
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: I A show, not a cop show, but that actor

1441
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:17,520
Speaker 1: who plays he's the the black uh kind of grizzled

1442
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: veteran supervisor of Krazinski's character is Bunk from the Wire

1443
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:25,679
Speaker 1: for those of you who are fans of the Wire.

1444
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 1: So that's kind of fun for me because I really

1445
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 1: enjoyed that show. But you know, the Jack Ryan Show

1446
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: is good and it's just going to it just goes

1447
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,879
Speaker 1: to show folks with all of the different espionage thrillers

1448
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: and all that, you know, you just need a story

1449
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: that is compelling with good characters, where there's good guys

1450
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: and bad guys and stuff happens and you care it doesn't.

1451
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,760
Speaker 1: You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You just have

1452
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:55,080
Speaker 1: to execute on the straightforward aspects, on on the straightforward

1453
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 1: elements of good story and good storytelling. And I think

1454
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 1: that the Amazon Prime show Pretty which does that. If

1455
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 1: you have any specific questions, by the way, about something

1456
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: that you think is well, if you want to ask

1457
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: me if something is real or how you know, I'm

1458
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: happy to tell you you know my my sense of it.

1459
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 1: But just understand this. You would not go from being

1460
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: analyst to field operative to which they referred to as

1461
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: case officers, which is the proper terminology to UH interrogator

1462
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: back to and then essentially door kicker you know, no, no, no,

1463
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:28,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't work that way. That's you don't get to

1464
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 1: cover all that ground. But if you have any other

1465
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: questions about it, if I can answer it, I will.

1466
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: If I can, I'll just tell you you can another

1467
01:23:34,439 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: confirm nor deny. But I will recommend that any of

1468
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: you that have the chance, if you if you have

1469
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:41,840
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, or if you thought about watching it, two

1470
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,719
Speaker 1: thumbs way up. I really thought it was a good series.

1471
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the next I hope they make

1472
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,879
Speaker 1: the next season of it. Krasinski was was pretty excellent.

1473
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, he's a very charming actor. And

1474
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 1: I okay, now my one criticism. I don't know her name,

1475
01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 1: but I don't like the female lead. I just don't.

1476
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 1: I think she's a little I don't know, there's something

1477
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: vaguely European about maybe she's a European actress. But it's

1478
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: just it doesn't strike me as a good I don't

1479
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: like the chemistry between the two leads. It just didn't

1480
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 1: work for me. It just didn't work for me. But

1481
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very picky about these things. You always did,

1482
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:22,519
Speaker 1: you always do this? Yeah, back everybody, we we got

1483
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: with us a special guest. I wanted to get him,

1484
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, on the hot seat right away. We have

1485
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 1: with us the one, the only, Sean Parnell. Everybody you know,

1486
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: we all love Sean. Sean is a former army ranger,

1487
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: author of one of my favorite and I'm gonna give

1488
01:24:38,120 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 1: him a swelled head. Although he doesn't need any help

1489
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: today because everyone's just everyone just wants to tell Sean

1490
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: how awesome he is. But one of my favorite military

1491
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: memoirs of all time, which is Outlaw Platoon, which I

1492
01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 1: have read cover to cover where I guess kindall start

1493
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:54,120
Speaker 1: to finish. Uh. He's the author of Outlaw Platoon, but

1494
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 1: he has a new book and we are lucky enough

1495
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 1: to have him joining us today to discuss it, A

1496
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: Man of War, which is a novel and and we're

01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: just want to ask you first, what's it like to

1499
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,479
Speaker 1: basically have all of all of the elite news media

1500
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 1: fight over your time and want to talk to you

1501
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,880
Speaker 1: about your novel? You realize, how you realize how rare

1502
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: this is. That's not a thing, that's not that's I

1503
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 1: don't I don't know why people are like me or

1504
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: support me but that's not in your exaggerating. That's not

1505
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:28,600
Speaker 1: famous famous news anchors and and correspondence and multi millionaires

1506
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 1: are like, I need me some Sean Parnell. I want

1507
01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: to talk about I want to talk about man of war.

1508
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 1: So so let's let's do that for a moment before

1509
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:40,560
Speaker 1: we get into the latest of of of your exploits

1510
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:42,760
Speaker 1: out on the West Coast and and selling the rights

1511
01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 1: the movie rights to all this tell us a bit

1512
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 1: Sean about man of war. Yeah, okay, so a man

1513
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: of war. You know, I joined to serve the military

1514
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 1: after nine eleven, you know, and I was inspired to

1515
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: join the military after witnessing the sacrifice of so many

1516
01:25:57,479 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 1: great Americans who, instead of running away from the flames,

1517
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 1: ran into the flames to try to say people that

1518
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 1: they didn't even know. And you know, I remember sitting there.

1519
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:06,560
Speaker 1: I was a college kid, and I remember nursing. I

1520
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 1: was nursing a pretty terrible hangover that morning, um, and

1521
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:11,640
Speaker 1: I just remember thinking, how can I sit here and

1522
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 1: do nothing when ordinary Americans are sacrificing everything in many

1523
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: cases for people that they didn't even know. And so

1524
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: that in that moment, I decided to serve my country.

1525
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, I think all of us are

1526
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: presented with moments in our life where we have such

1527
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 1: tremendous clarity. In the wake of the most horrific terrorist

1528
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,360
Speaker 1: attack on our nation's history, that I had clarity, and

1529
01:26:35,400 --> 01:26:37,679
Speaker 1: it was, you know, I wanted to join the military service,

1530
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 1: something greater than myself, getting the fight against the people

1531
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,160
Speaker 1: that attacked us on September eleven, and be on the

1532
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 1: front lines. And I got my opportunity to do that.

1533
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: I went to war for four five days, and I

1534
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 1: came back. A lot of my guys were wounded, some

1535
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: of which came home in body bags and flag drape coffins.

1536
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 1: And I remember there was a one profound moment where

1537
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 1: I was I was reflecting on uh, looking at one

1538
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: of the waves of my soldiers, and I said, you

1539
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 1: know what, like I have got to live a life

1540
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 1: worthy of their sacrifice and earn it every single day.

1541
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 1: And so writing a novel for me was always a

1542
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 1: bucket list item. But one of the things that that

1543
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure that I that came through

1544
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: in this book was making sure that my main character,

1545
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,519
Speaker 1: Eric Steele, embodied the greatness of what it means to

1546
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,679
Speaker 1: be an American and the greatness of the American warrior ethos,

1547
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:33,480
Speaker 1: and you know the selflessness, uh, the heroism, the the loyalty,

1548
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 1: the duty, respect and honor that every single person that

1549
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 1: ran into the flames that day on nine eleven exhibited.

1550
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure it was crammed all in

1551
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 1: my main character. And Eric Steele is that guy. He's

1552
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 1: the main character and man of war. He's a franchise character.

1553
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 1: You'll see a book from him every year, but he

1554
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: is a mainstream fiction character that loves America uh and

1555
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: believes it's worth fighting for and worth dying for. Because

1556
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 1: I just I think it's important that our kids have

1557
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: mainstream fiction character to look up to in this country

1558
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 1: and inspire to be like. Well, I just hope that

1559
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:09,520
Speaker 1: in Eric Steele's uh trials and travails or and travels

1560
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: and tribulations. I don't know why something over this world

1561
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 1: always with the words words. If you have any any

1562
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 1: room for a a a cynical CIA analyst named Buck Sexton,

1563
01:28:20,479 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: you throw him in there, baby, Because if Eric Steele,

1564
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 1: if he needs somebody to tell him, we're the best

1565
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 1: places to get a latte in South Asia, let me

1566
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: tell you Cia analyst Buck has got at steals back.

1567
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 1: Hey man, you know what, you know, I think I

1568
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:34,760
Speaker 1: might be able to make that happen in book two.

1569
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: I think I might. I think I might. I think

1570
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 1: I can do it. You know, one of the one

1571
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,600
Speaker 1: of the main characters in my book tease me, this

1572
01:28:39,680 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 1: is like offering the name your first born after me.

1573
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:47,160
Speaker 1: It's not that it's not like that, but I think

1574
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 1: it's Actually that's a pretty awesome idea, you know. So

1575
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:51,600
Speaker 1: one of my main characters in this book is an

1576
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:55,120
Speaker 1: x CIA analyst. It's it's a woman. She's a female protagonist,

1577
01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:57,760
Speaker 1: and she is she is just she's awesome in every way.

1578
01:28:58,600 --> 01:29:00,240
Speaker 1: But I think that there could be a very easy

1579
01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 1: way to tie Buck the CIA analyst into the story.

1580
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,759
Speaker 1: And he's gonna have a big head, you know, physically

1581
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,639
Speaker 1: physically big head. Uh. And he's gonna be a little

1582
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 1: dorky with a really deep, awesome radio voice exactly. And

1583
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 1: by the way, when when they don't have a charge

1584
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 1: to do a breach properly, they can just use that

1585
01:29:20,120 --> 01:29:23,679
Speaker 1: head like Bonk from Bonk's Adventure, just knock that puppied

1586
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: right down. Man. That's that's what it's like. A battering Ramma.

1587
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 1: Who needs to ballistic breach? Who needs C four when

1588
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 1: they have Buck Sexton's head exactly, That's all you need.

1589
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:35,720
Speaker 1: So so A Man of War is out today. People

1590
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:37,920
Speaker 1: can get it on Amazon, they can get it on Kindle.

1591
01:29:38,800 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 1: What's some of the stuff you got planned? By the way,

1592
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: because you know you're you're getting I really do mean

1593
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: this man. So few people get other people to be

1594
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:47,360
Speaker 1: happy for them when they have a book that comes

1595
01:29:47,360 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 1: out or something in the way that I'm seeing with you,

1596
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:52,640
Speaker 1: people just want your book to succeed. Sean Parnell, what

1597
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 1: are you gonna run for office? By the way, Never

1598
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 1: love Sean, never, but never. But I'll tell you, I'll

1599
01:29:57,160 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 1: tell you. You know, I think they're There's so thing

1600
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 1: in this in this literary world or a public figure world,

1601
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,880
Speaker 1: where it's a zero sum game for a lot of people,

1602
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:11,360
Speaker 1: like the idea that just because you know Buck Sexton

1603
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:14,120
Speaker 1: is successful, it means that I can't be successful. And

1604
01:30:14,200 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 1: so a lot of people in the media and a

1605
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 1: lot of people in the literary world in public figure

1606
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,960
Speaker 1: space are constantly trying to cut your knees out from

1607
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 1: under you to make sure that they're that they climb

1608
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,640
Speaker 1: that ladder first, and and I'm here to tell you

1609
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 1: that I I have a very different view on that.

1610
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm a I believe that you know, a rising tide

1611
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:34,000
Speaker 1: lifts all ships. If and you know, a guy that

1612
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:36,920
Speaker 1: buys Brad Thor's thriller does not mean that he's not

1613
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 1: going to buy my thriller. And my experience with Brad

1614
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 1: Thor is that he's actually always a very generous right right.

1615
01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:46,840
Speaker 1: And I'm just saying though, Buck, but I know that's

1616
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 1: why your mind went because he's amazing. Actually, in fact,

1617
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: I try to structure and write my stories just like

1618
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Brad does because he's been such an inspiration to me.

1619
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:58,400
Speaker 1: But but like the in fact, my point was, Buck,

1620
01:30:58,479 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: is that like if someone buys Brad Thor's book and

1621
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: reads Brad Thor's book, it makes it more likely for

1622
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,879
Speaker 1: them to buy my book. So there's no need to compete.

1623
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 1: This is not a zero sum game. A rising tide

1624
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: lifts all ships. And so for the last six years

1625
01:31:10,320 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 1: since Outlaw Between came out book, I have really dedicated

1626
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 1: my life to try to help people to get their

1627
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:18,519
Speaker 1: stories told, lend a helping hand anywhere that I can,

1628
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 1: And so I hope that The support that I'm receiving

1629
01:31:22,439 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 1: right now and Man of War from some mainstream media

1630
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 1: outlets and people comes from them recognizing that and and

1631
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 1: the help that I've given. When you're when you're rolling

Speaker 1: your friendship. Thank you absolutely anytime. Best of luck with

1655
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:43,560
Speaker 1: the book. Okay. Recent polls have shown a fifth of

1656
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:47,439
Speaker 1: Americans can't locate the US on a world map. Why

1657
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 1: do you think this is? I personally believe that US

1658
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:59,559
Speaker 1: Americans are unable to do so because sama people out

1659
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:03,599
Speaker 1: there and our nation don't have bounced. And I believe

1660
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 1: that our education like such as a South Africa and

1661
01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 1: Iraq everywhere like such US, and I believe that they

1662
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:16,360
Speaker 1: should Our education over here in the US should help

1663
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 1: the US, or should help South Africa, and should help

1664
01:33:20,200 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 1: DIRAC in the Asian countries, so we will be able

1665
01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 1: to build up our future for Thank you very much.

1666
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:33,439
Speaker 1: So it never gets old, folks, It never gets old.

1667
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: I know it was a long time ago. I know

1668
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily representative of all pageants and all the

1669
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 1: rest of it, but come on, it was amazing. I

1670
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,720
Speaker 1: might have said this even on this show before. But

1671
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:48,000
Speaker 1: really my favorite part of the whole thing is it's

1672
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:51,360
Speaker 1: when Mario Lopez, whom I remember well from being a

1673
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 1: c slater in his Saved by the Bell days, but

1674
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 1: when Mariel Lopez goes, thank you very much, and it's

1675
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:02,400
Speaker 1: very solicited to after she's been like you know, the education,

1676
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 1: like such as South Africa and the Iraq and like

1677
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:09,719
Speaker 1: such as, oh man, you know, it is possible, especially

1678
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 1: when I'm doing really long days. I've had the experience

1679
01:34:13,920 --> 01:34:16,000
Speaker 1: befour being on live TV and for a moment, and

1680
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 1: it's a momentary panic where you realize that you've kind

1681
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,320
Speaker 1: of lost your train of thought and you need words

1682
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: right away and you don't want to do the uh

1683
01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:27,680
Speaker 1: or you don't want to start Yeah, but you know,

1684
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:30,719
Speaker 1: it starts kind of babbling something. She got a little

1685
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:33,600
Speaker 1: caught up there, but look, she rebounded. Why am I

1686
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:36,840
Speaker 1: telling you about beauty pageants other than some of you

1687
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:39,400
Speaker 1: accused me of having some kind of expertise in these matters.

1688
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:42,800
Speaker 1: I do not claim to have any beauty pageant expertise.

1689
01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 1: I do not think that the celebration of superficiality is

1690
01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:49,679
Speaker 1: something that we should all uh push for even more.

1691
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:52,720
Speaker 1: But I also recognize that in life. Look, it's life

1692
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 1: is unfair. You know. I wish I were six four.

1693
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,680
Speaker 1: I wish a lot of things, and I wish that

1694
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 1: people weren't judged at all at all at all on

1695
01:35:01,920 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 1: whether they are considered attractive. But that's not reality, unfortunately.

1696
01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 1: And I think that everybody should, you know, make the

1697
01:35:10,439 --> 01:35:12,960
Speaker 1: most of We should all make the most of our appearance.

1698
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we all have the choice to make the

1699
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: most of of what God gave us. And I think

1700
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,640
Speaker 1: that that's a I think that's a positive message. It

1701
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:22,240
Speaker 1: reminds me also of you know, one of my more

1702
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a radical theory, but all this

1703
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 1: stuff you see about fitness and the fitness industry is

1704
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 1: premised on people. You know, everybody can have a six

1705
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:33,880
Speaker 1: pack and look like some kind of Adonis, or if

1706
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 1: you're a lady, you know, you can look like some

1707
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:39,000
Speaker 1: kind of swimsuit model or something. And genetics plays a

1708
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:41,439
Speaker 1: huge role in all this stuff. Folks. Everyone that I

1709
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:45,839
Speaker 1: know who's really smart on the subject of uh, fitness

1710
01:35:45,960 --> 01:35:48,600
Speaker 1: and health will tell you that, yes, I mean, you

1711
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:50,840
Speaker 1: should all. We should all strive to be the best

1712
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:56,000
Speaker 1: version of ourselves that we can be. But genetics plays

1713
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 1: a big role and some people do have a different

1714
01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 1: metabolism than others. On people put on muscle more easily

1715
01:36:02,560 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 1: than others, and and so on and so forth. But

1716
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:07,280
Speaker 1: back to beauty path I just feel like people should

1717
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:09,200
Speaker 1: be told that instead of you know, when I was

1718
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:11,479
Speaker 1: in grammar school, it was like, lifts some freeweights and

1719
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 1: you look like Schwarzenegger if you're dedicated enough. No, there's

1720
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 1: really a there's a genetic advantage that some people have

1721
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:21,720
Speaker 1: in terms of their body types and how quickly they

1722
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 1: put on muscle and all the rest of it. So

1723
01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:28,599
Speaker 1: on the beauty pageants. The Miss America Beauty Pageant happened

1724
01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 1: and it was you know, you've got Gretchen Carlson, whom

1725
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:37,120
Speaker 1: I find pretty annoying just in general. But she's out

1726
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 1: there as she's like the head of the Miss America

1727
01:36:39,240 --> 01:36:41,639
Speaker 1: Pageant now. And they decided, because we're in the error

1728
01:36:41,800 --> 01:36:46,759
Speaker 1: of me too, to get rid of the swimsuit portion

1729
01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: of the Miss America Pageant, which I know producer Mike

1730
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:54,160
Speaker 1: very much opposed to this one. Me because I'm a

1731
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: century man, I know enough to just try to not

1732
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,280
Speaker 1: comment on this because I just get myself in trubble.

1733
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:02,600
Speaker 1: But producer Mike is fearless. He has no problem with

1734
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:06,040
Speaker 1: saying that he thought that the from a business perspective,

1735
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,640
Speaker 1: keeping the UH swimsuit competition in the beauty pageant was

1736
01:37:10,680 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 1: probably a good idea. Turns out that there was a

1737
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty three percent drop in ratings from last year's broadcast,

1738
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:21,240
Speaker 1: And if you look in the demo, which is all

1739
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:24,960
Speaker 1: that advertisers care about, so that's people twenty two to

1740
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:28,479
Speaker 1: fifty four or fifty five, whatever it is. If you

1741
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 1: look in the demo, it was down almost which from

1742
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 1: a rating standpoint is pretty much catastrophic. Now here's my thing. Um,

1743
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: I I just I understand the arguments for and against

1744
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:48,439
Speaker 1: beauty pageants. I understand that it sends a bad message

1745
01:37:48,479 --> 01:37:50,559
Speaker 1: to women that they're judging their parents. But I would

1746
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 1: just know that men are judged on their appearance too,

1747
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:53,800
Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways, not to the same

1748
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 1: extent as women. I'm not you know, I know are

1749
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 1: the world is a cruel place, and it's unfair and

1750
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,840
Speaker 1: all that, But what we're all superficially judged in a

1751
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:03,680
Speaker 1: lot of ways. For men, a lot of the superficial

1752
01:38:03,760 --> 01:38:07,680
Speaker 1: judgment revolves around the size of our bank accounts, and

1753
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:10,720
Speaker 1: that's like that has anything to do with, you know,

1754
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 1: how good or worthy of a person you are. But

1755
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 1: people say, well, it has to do with how good

1756
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:17,920
Speaker 1: of a provider you are, And I say, ah, you know,

1757
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:19,679
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys inherit a lot of money.

1758
01:38:19,720 --> 01:38:21,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that they're a good provider. It just

1759
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:24,840
Speaker 1: means they're good at providing for someone what somebody else

1760
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 1: provided for them. So there are a lot of ways

1761
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:30,200
Speaker 1: to slice this down. But here here's my thing, my

1762
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 1: my simple sense of all this without getting a too

1763
01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:36,680
Speaker 1: many jokes about how the Miss America pageant without the

1764
01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:40,760
Speaker 1: swimsuits is just like watching a bunch of third tier

1765
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:44,720
Speaker 1: pundits get on a stage in evening gowns. Um, I

1766
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:47,360
Speaker 1: just say this, We should all be honest about what

1767
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:49,280
Speaker 1: it is that we're doing, what it is that we're seeing,

1768
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 1: what we're supporting. A beauty pageant is inherently superficial. It's

1769
01:38:53,479 --> 01:38:56,600
Speaker 1: about physical beauty. You can add some other things into it,

1770
01:38:56,720 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 1: but first and foremost, it is about physical beauty. And

1771
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 1: we should either say, Okay, that's what we're going to

1772
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:07,439
Speaker 1: be judging here with some other factors, or we should

1773
01:39:07,439 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 1: find something else to call it. I I just always

1774
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 1: prefer honesty about these things, and I wish that people

1775
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't dance around the subject matter in quite the same way.

1776
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:19,200
Speaker 1: So maybe it's time to put pageants away, or it's

1777
01:39:19,240 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 1: time to just say, you know what, We're going to

1778
01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:24,800
Speaker 1: be superficial in this endeavor, you know, and that's the

1779
01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:27,679
Speaker 1: way it's going to be. Otherwise you just have huge

1780
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:29,400
Speaker 1: ratings drops and people all make fun of it, as

1781
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:31,800
Speaker 1: they should. We got roll call up next. Stay with

1782
01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:35,639
Speaker 1: me like soft butter on warm toast. Time to spread

1783
01:39:35,720 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: some freedom coast to coast. It's time for roll call. Alright,

1784
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: roll call time. Everybody wanted to get into it right away,

1785
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:54,400
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Facebook dot com, slash buck Sex and

1786
01:39:54,560 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 1: if you wish to be included. Um, we have Erica,

1787
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 1: who writes, I listened to your uh podcast on Monday,

1788
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,400
Speaker 1: but Monday evening radio show is an appearing the available

1789
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:10,720
Speaker 1: episodes list. Um, Erica, we are going to make sure

1790
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 1: that the full episode, that the full radio show episode

1791
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 1: is up in the feed, So just look for the

1792
01:40:16,600 --> 01:40:21,280
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show and we might we were tweaking some things,

1793
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:22,760
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be up. We're gonna put up the

1794
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 1: full show because I everybody whoa everybody wants the full show.

1795
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 1: They do not want a partial do not want a

1796
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:33,040
Speaker 1: partial show in in the feed. So we're gonna figure

1797
01:40:33,040 --> 01:40:35,240
Speaker 1: out a way to do that. Um. It might mean

1798
01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 1: that you have an early kind of sneak peak of

1799
01:40:38,040 --> 01:40:39,640
Speaker 1: some of the show and then the full show later on,

1800
01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:41,439
Speaker 1: but we're gonna go with the full show up there.

1801
01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 1: So just if you're used to listening to the podcast, folks,

1802

1804
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:52,880

1805
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:55,880
Speaker 1: podcast up earlier on in the day as early as

1806
01:40:55,960 --> 01:41:00,920

1809
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 1: that the full podcast is up. I see, I asked

1810
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:15,000
Speaker 1: for feedback, I get feedback. There we go. Um. Cheryl rightes,

1811
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 1: Hi Buck, you keep me sane in California about the

1812
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:23,680
Speaker 1: female form of Brethren from English for Students dot Com.

1813
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,840
Speaker 1: There is a word sister and, though it has a

1814
01:41:26,920 --> 01:41:31,080
Speaker 1: somewhat different history from its male parallel. Both words were

1815
01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:34,280
Speaker 1: used in Middle English twelve to fifteen centuries simply as

1816
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:38,880
Speaker 1: the plural forms of brother and sister. From about sixteen hundred,

1817
01:41:39,439 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 1: brothers began to take over from brethren. Shakespeare used both

1818
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 1: except in referring to fellow members of a religious community

1819
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:52,040
Speaker 1: or a society or profession. Even this use now is

1820
01:41:52,120 --> 01:41:56,559
Speaker 1: rather archaic, although such groups as the Plymouth Brethren keep

1821
01:41:56,600 --> 01:42:00,080
Speaker 1: it in use. Sister and meanwhile had fallen completely the

1822
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,280
Speaker 1: out of use by the middle of the sixteenth century,

1823
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:06,160
Speaker 1: but it has been revived and used almost exclusively by

1824
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:12,559
Speaker 1: feminist writers. Oh, Cheryl, very interesting, Thank you for your

1825
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 1: take on that. And um, yes, indeed, I will certainly,

1826
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: I will certainly add that into the memory banks here.

1827
01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:23,559
Speaker 1: Sister and yeah, I'd never hear anybody use the term

1828
01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 1: sister and but I do remember in PCU, I think

1829
01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 1: it's the womenists spelled w O M Y N I

1830
01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:35,280
Speaker 1: S T S. Michael writes, I actually clicked on I

1831
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:38,880
Speaker 1: accidentally clicked on Rachel Mattow's show last night. She was

1832
01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:42,640
Speaker 1: talking about the Trump visa D classification, saying he was

1833
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:46,519
Speaker 1: doing it to cloud up the Russia investigation. Then she

1834
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 1: cited the great accomplishments of Bruce or in the d

1835
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:53,880
Speaker 1: o J. It's a different world there, Michael. It absolutely is.

1836
01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:58,040
Speaker 1: They believe what they want to believe over at MSNBC,

1837
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:01,000
Speaker 1: and they like to think that the President of the

1838
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: United States is a traitor, that he has done terrible things,

1839
01:43:04,600 --> 01:43:08,880
Speaker 1: and that we should all be outraged about it. I'm

1840
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:11,800
Speaker 1: here to tell you that they're wrong, and a lot

1841
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:14,519
Speaker 1: of them are lying, and you really can't make a

1842
01:43:14,600 --> 01:43:17,120
Speaker 1: good faith case anymore about the Russia coclusion investigation. I

1843
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 1: mean it, it is a It is a sham. It

1844
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 1: is a scam. Uh. It should not have happened. It

1845
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,439
Speaker 1: just flatly should not have been something that occurred. But

1846
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:30,880
Speaker 1: here we are, Lisa right chields high Buck. I don't

1847
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:32,719
Speaker 1: mind the new format, but I love my three hours

1848
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:36,400
Speaker 1: a day. Um, Lisa, we're going back. We're going back

1849
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:39,160
Speaker 1: to the podcast. Even if you get an early sneak

1850
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: peek throughout the day, the podcast will be in full

1851
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,120
Speaker 1: three hour format. So don't worry about that. It's gonna

1852
01:43:45,160 --> 01:43:46,760
Speaker 1: be there. It's gonna be there. But do me a favor,

1853
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:48,960
Speaker 1: spread it around. We gotta guys, I can tell you

1854
01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,840
Speaker 1: this right now. I just checked today in what is

1855
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:54,920
Speaker 1: it now? In uh less than a year, I think

1856
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:59,360
Speaker 1: it's about over the course of ten months, we have doubled,

1857
01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:04,439
Speaker 1: just the doubled the podcast size of a podcast audience

1858
01:44:04,479 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 1: for this show. And I came into it bringing off

1859
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:11,280
Speaker 1: bringing along with me a substantial podcast crew from the

1860
01:44:11,320 --> 01:44:14,320
Speaker 1: Blaze radio days because it was all digital. So your

1861
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:17,679
Speaker 1: efforts really really do help. But whenever you tell somebody

1862
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: about this show, I mean, there are two things. Look

1863
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:21,920
Speaker 1: at this a little bit of a shameless plug, but hey,

1864
01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 1: commerce baby, there are two things you can do that

1865
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:27,040
Speaker 1: really helped me out, and it's in all of your

1866
01:44:27,080 --> 01:44:29,600
Speaker 1: power to do it. Number one is anytime I do

1867
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:31,720
Speaker 1: a call out for a product, check it out at

1868
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:33,640
Speaker 1: least go to the U r L. For our sponsors,

1869
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 1: they're really partners with the show. By the way, some

1870
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:39,519
Speaker 1: of you in the past have said that you didn't

1871
01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:41,519
Speaker 1: like or you know that there was a sponsor here.

1872
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:43,960
Speaker 1: They're very early on in the show's history. I want

1873
01:44:43,960 --> 01:44:45,600
Speaker 1: to know. I take that into account. And there have

1874
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:48,080
Speaker 1: been a couple of cases where I've said I I'm

1875
01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:51,839
Speaker 1: not going to work with a particular product going forward

1876
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 1: because my audience didn't like it. The people that I

1877
01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 1: sponsored with I know them, or rather that sponsor this

1878
01:44:56,960 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: show that I partner with, I know them. I like

1879
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:02,680
Speaker 1: their product. I use their product that matters to me.

1880
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:06,559
Speaker 1: So whenever you can, if you buy one of those products,

1881
01:45:06,640 --> 01:45:07,880
Speaker 1: or at least go check it out on the U

1882
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 1: r L that I call out, that helps. But the

1883
01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 1: easier way for a lot of you um or rather

1884
01:45:13,920 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 1: the the completely cost free way you know off to

1885
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:18,320
Speaker 1: buy anything is just to tell somebody, hey, check out

1886
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:20,360
Speaker 1: this guy. Go on iTunes and check out the Buck

1887
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:23,240
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Uh. You know, I don't have a PR budget.

1888
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 1: You are my PR budget, so to speak. You guys

1889
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:27,920
Speaker 1: are my eyes and ears out there in the rest

1890
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:30,280
Speaker 1: of the world. And you know, nothing makes me happier

1891
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 1: than when I got a message from somebody who's downrange

1892
01:45:32,360 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 1: who's like, hey, I got I got ten of my

Speaker 1: like that on a fairly regular basis. And I'm being

1897
01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:46,960
Speaker 1: serious with you guys, it makes my day. Like I

1898
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:48,960
Speaker 1: could be having a terrible day, you know, a little

1899
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:51,720
Speaker 1: bit of a squabble with Miss Molly over something dumb

1900
01:45:51,880 --> 01:45:54,320
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. Right, I could be dealing

1901
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:56,800
Speaker 1: with all kinds of nonsense from libs who are saying

1902
01:45:56,840 --> 01:45:58,840
Speaker 1: crazy things to me because of the show rising that

1903
01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:01,200
Speaker 1: I do. Uh. And as long as I get one

01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 1: you should have called your new show Buck Naked. And

1928
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 1: my husband and I would both love a shirt or two.

1929
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:18,640
Speaker 1: But since he has a dad Bob and I have

1930
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:21,320
Speaker 1: an old lady Bob, there's no size extra large. Are

1934
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:31,800
Speaker 1: Mike to look into it. Quite a bit, I'm a

1935
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:36,560
Speaker 1: little behind in terms of how I how I put this.

1936
01:47:36,680 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm a little behind in terms of merch right now,

1937
01:47:39,320 --> 01:47:42,320
Speaker 1: it's on my list. I'm it's behind getting another Shield's

1938
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 1: high out. I mean, Malta is probably my among my favorites.

1939
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 1: Lepanto's number one, Malta's number two, and Malta's the one

1940
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:50,720
Speaker 1: that's next in the queue for me to do. It's

1941
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:53,479
Speaker 1: just a time and energy issue. So and T shirts.

1942
01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:55,280
Speaker 1: I want to do more T shirts. I'm working on it.

1943
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm working on it. But Karen, and obviously there should

1944
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:01,439
Speaker 1: be XL. You know, I like I like having a

1945
01:48:01,560 --> 01:48:04,479
Speaker 1: wide range of sizes because you know, people like to

1946
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: be comfy in their T shirt. You know, if a

1947
01:48:06,200 --> 01:48:08,120
Speaker 1: T shirt's not comfy, it's not a T shirt as

1948
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:12,000
Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned, It's a COMI shirt. Hannah writes, Dude,

1949
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: it worried me that you hadn't heard of Joe Versus

1950
01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:17,000
Speaker 1: the Volcano. It shattered me when you brushed it off.

1951
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 1: You have to watch it. It is pinnacle in nerd culture.

1952
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 1: Just saying, I bet you haven't seen Cabin Boy either, Hannah,

1953
01:48:24,479 --> 01:48:26,760
Speaker 1: I have no idea what Joe versus the Volcano is

1954
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:28,680
Speaker 1: and no idea what cabin Boy is. So you have

1955
01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 1: exposed a a flaw in my pop culture knowledge. Um, so,

1956
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:38,920
Speaker 1: there you have it. I will have to check this out.

1957
01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 1: Page rights. Is this where we can send topic requests? Yes?

1958
01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:46,320
Speaker 1: It is? Page if so. Can you cover South Africa

1959
01:48:46,439 --> 01:48:49,040
Speaker 1: and retell that story about a ship captain who claimed

1960
01:48:49,080 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 1: the privilege of being American. I really can't remember more

1961
01:48:52,320 --> 01:48:55,000
Speaker 1: of it, so I'm sorry. I've also got my husband,

1962

1964
01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:03,920
Speaker 1: her husband to start listening to the show. If everybody

1965
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:06,680
Speaker 1: listening to this right now got one other person to

1966
01:49:06,760 --> 01:49:10,720
Speaker 1: listen to the show, you know, I would be, you know,

1967
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 1: well on my way to Uncle Rush Limbaugh's pool house

1968
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:17,760
Speaker 1: or something, you know what I mean. That's my my

1969
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:21,120
Speaker 1: budget would be getting bigger for the show. Um, so

1970
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:23,360
