We remember the bravery and sacrifice of 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.000 those who fell here in America and then on far 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:24.240 flung battlefields. We salute the soldiers, sailors, airmen, coast guardsmen, 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.920 and marines who nailed our colors to the mast, giving 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:33.360 their last full measure of devotion, declaring proudly that Americans 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.800 do not scare, and we followed to the end of 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:41.080 the earth those who sought to break our spirit. Together 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.000 with the families of the fallen, we remember all that 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.400 is good, all that is true, and all that is 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:52.760 beautiful about those we have lost.

Welcome to the Box Action Show, Everybody, nine 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:54.680 eleven anniversary today. I know that this affects all of us. 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.760 This is something that we all remember um and it 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.040 changed the world. When we look at where we are 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:06.840 now versus where we were then. It was an uncertain thing, 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.079 my friends, and in those hours after the towers got hit, 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.960 we did not know how many wars we would have 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.880 to fight. We did not know how many more attacks 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.560 were coming, perhaps imminent attacks just a matter of hours away, 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.799 and it was a wake up for many of us 0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.400 that we have enemies, that we have people who have 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.520 embraced ideologies around the globe of of hatred and destruction. 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.200 And it is in fact true that there are people 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.360 who hate us for who we are, and yes, a 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.600 part of that is our freedom. There are people who 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:47.040 hate us for our way of life and our role 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.720 in the world and how we view ourselves in terms 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.160 of human progress and development, I mean the role that 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:59.920 America plays um And while we had many difficult year 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.520 is ahead and counter terrorism operations at Rock Afghanistan, two 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.960 countries where you know, the greatest honor of my life 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:08.880 to this day was showing up and trying to do 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.000 some small part to help as a civilian, to help 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.880 United States military and their mission taking the fight to 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.480 al Qaida and iractaing the fight to al Qaeda in 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.760 UH South Asia and the Taliban and all of their 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.719 affiliates and SIA militias in Iraq and all the rest 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:28.919 of it UH. We also saw much of what was 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:34.040 best and strongest in America after that period. I mean, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.800 you know, my generation as much as we get a 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.560 hard time, and people make a lot of jokes about millennials. Look, 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.640 I make jokes about millennials, but my generation and those 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.520 who are you know, twenty years older than me and 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.960 you know, a decade younger than me. So many of 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:56.479 them showed up and answered the call. So many of 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:02.640 them were incredibly brave, and many thousands of laid down 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.320 their lives for this country as a result of what 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.720 happened on nine eleven. So I will talk to you 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.680 a bit more about it during this hour. Some just 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.880 some memories that come back. One of them is just 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.880 walking around the streets of Manhattan where I'm from, and 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.919 of course where the where the towers were, uh, and 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.360 seeing all the American flags everywhere afterwards, And it was 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.880 such a reminder for all of us of what what 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.960 is at stake And these slogans, these things you hear 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.120 when people say things like freedom is and free and 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.719 you know we we we need a rough men who 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.120 stand ready at night to do violence on our behalf 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.200 so we sleep soundly. I mean, all these things that 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:49.000 you might hear growing up. It it brought that all 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:52.200 together in a way that you you had to take notice, 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.559 certainly changed my life. And it's the only Without Not eleven, 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.400 I don't go to the CIA. And I know for 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.479 so many of you listening, without Not eleven, you didn't 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.680 do three combat tours in Afghanistan and two in a 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.640 rock and you know, who knows where else you've you've 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:10.159 been sent in the defense of this country. But it's 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.400 also a day today when I think we should note that, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:17.200 you know, we have managed to suppress, not to defeat 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.920 or annihilate, but to suppress the jihadiest menace. The global 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:26.840 jihad is a small piece of what it once was, 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.760 and and al Qaeda certainly is greatly diminished from what 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.240 it was, and that is because of all those efforts. 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.560 You know, it's a it's a multi decade struggle that 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.240 we are engaged in. But if you were to look 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.920 at our fight against radical Islam right now, you would 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.680 have to say that we are winning. We have not 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.359 one It is not over, and there can be a 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.400 reversal in this whole, in this whole battle, but we 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.520 are we are winning. And I don't think people hear 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.360 that enough. I don't think those who serve and those 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.840 who have come back and veterans get told that enough. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.080 That you know, the reason we don't have more planes 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.640 flying into buildings is because of the efforts of people 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.039 for this country and in the defense of this country. 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.200 So I'll have some more on nine eleven and just 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:16.560 the differing philosophy that exists in the fight against radical 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:21.800 Islam between say Trump and Barack Obama before him. And 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.520 we'll also discuss whether the International Criminal Court is gonna 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.560 get any jurisdiction over our soldiers. That will be coming 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.360 up later on in this hour. And then if we'll 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.360 get into SMAR news of the day, the latest on 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.040 the machinations of the deep state, and the big news 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:37.800 coming up on that. By the way, I'll give you 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.720 a preview of it in the next hour. But there's 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.200 gonna be a pretty big revelation from what I'm told here. 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.440 My sources are telling me, we're gonna find out a 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.480 whole lot about how deep the deep state targeting really was. 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.360 Uh And and just one note here, some breaking news 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.840 right as I came on air that Trump is going 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.320 to order sanctions on He's gonna he's going to create 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.720 an executive order and sign it that allows sanctions on 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.040 foreigners who medal in US elections. So gonna gonna make 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:08.200 sure that you know there there's even greater tools at 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:14.400 the federal government's disposal for punishing election meddling, and hopefully 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.840 start to push back on this lie that you know 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.680 Trump doesn't care about election meddling, or that there's it 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.440 is of no interest to him, or even he was 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.800 supportive of it. That's what you'll hear from Democrats. So 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.920 that's some breaking news. Trump is taking action to allow 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.559 sanctioning of foreigners for election Meddling's talking about Obama's view 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.160 of radical Islam and how that factors into the fight 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.480 we're talking about today with nine eleven, when we come 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.280 back as a gold star mother, my son gave his 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:44.720 life for acts of terrorism. Um, do you still believe 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.160 that the acts of terrorism are done with a self 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:52.840 proclaim Islamic religious motives? And if you do, why do 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.160 you still refuse to use the term racially? I'm sorry, 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:01.440 Islamic terrorists. What I have been careful about when I 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.600 describe these issues is to make sure that we do 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:17.360 not lump these murderers into the billion Muslims that exist 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:21.080 around the world, including in this country, who are peaceful, 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.880 who are responsible, who in this country are our fellow 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.679 troops and police officers and firefighters and teachers and neighbors 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:37.840 and friends. And what I learned from listening to some 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:45.599 of these Muslim families, both in the United States and overseas, 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:53.160 is that when you start calling these organizations Islamic terrorists, 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.760 the way it's heard, the way it's received by our 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:02.840 friends and allies are on the world is that somehow 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:11.040 Islam is terroristic, and that then makes them feel as 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.640 if they're under attack. In some cases, it makes it 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:19.840 harder for us to get their cooperation in fighting terrorism. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.760 So so we're getting a very long answer here from 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.000 the former president on his thinking, which is not new 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.040 and has not changed, on why he will not say 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:36.000 radical Islam or Islamic terrorism. And this became kind of 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:41.000 doctrine liberalism. This became doctrinaire on the left that you 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:45.719 don't say radical Islam or Islamic terrorism because one it 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.560 hurts our allies. And I always say to this, what 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.120 kind of allied do we have really with anybody if 0:10:53.720 --> 0:11:01.400 us describing an organization as it describes itself is somehow 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.719 an affront to them, you know, as as we're here 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:08.800 on nine eleven and and thinking about our counter terrorism 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:13.680 and just general security and military UH partnerships all over 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.800 the world, but particularly in the Islamic world. Is it's 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:20.480 worth noting that most the majority of casualties from these 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.720 heinous terroristacks is is actually Muslims. And so I don't 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.800 think that anyone that we would consider to be a 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.280 good person and an ally in this which is a 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.240 lot of folks all over the Muslim world, would be 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.560 put off by a saying the Islamic State, because that's 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:40.120 what the Islamic State calls itself. That that is the name. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.760 You know, we can call them something else if we want, 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:46.240 maybe something that's a pejorative or uh. But but this 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:52.040 tendency to play games with language instead of facing up 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:56.280 to the reality is very common with liberals. This is 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.320 why you see them always or with with the left, 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.880 with progressives. Some of you have taken issue recently with 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.719 me saying liberal more frequently. It's a useful shorthand. It's 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:09.520 it's such a common shorthand for the left that I 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.440 end up using it sometimes too. But trust me, I 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.720 years ago on this show I used to say that 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.560 I think that liberal is an intentional misnomer and that 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.079 the people who want to be called liberals who call 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:27.720 themselves liberals are in fact leftists and statists and really 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:32.920 have an authoritarian streak within uh, you know, anti anti 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:40.360 traditional religion, very militant secularist view of life. And and 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:44.280 that's you know that that the the notion of liberals 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:48.839 as anything based in liberty is wrong headed. But I 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.400 digress on that one. Obama is just wrong on this 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.800 whole notion radical Islam. And I think that it was 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.959 always a problem as well. For every time that they 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.760 can say, oh, well, we didn't want to upset some 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.839 of our allies, I would always say, well, what about 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.640 the moderates that we always talk about, What about the 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.760 run of the mill Muslims who would say that their 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:13.439 religion has been hijacked in many cases by terrorists. So 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:18.480 hijack seems like an appropriate term. Hijacked by these radicals 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.000 and these and these extremists and used in terrible ways 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.760 that they disagree with. It sounds to me like when 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.720 we won't refer to them the way that they refer 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.920 to themselves, meaning we won't refer to these groups as 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.400 they are in fact named, uh, that it shows a 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.720 degree of weakness, that it shows that we aren't willing 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.360 to call out this evil for for what it is. 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.640 We have to find euphemisms and other names for it. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.160 So now I know there's there's different schools of thought 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.160 on this one. But I also think that Obama, well, 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:52.240 well he was not a He was not a secret Muslim, 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.040 and people I've gotten a lot of emails, no, he 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.880 was not. I believe Obama is a secularist. I believe 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.679 he is an atheist actually, and that you know, now 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.080 I don't know. I just based it on his policies, 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.480 and you know, I don't know the man personally, so 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.959 this isn't like I have some inside information on it. 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.560 But I do believe that he views religion much more 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.439 as a political means to an end and maybe as 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.480 community building in the early stage of his career as 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.880 a politician, instead of something that he you know, fervently 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.360 believes in. You know, I I don't believe, for example, 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.920 that you can be a Christian and be uh be 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.040 one of these radical pro choice leftists like in the 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.160 in the Nancy Pelosi mold. I just don't believe that. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:35.360 I don't know what else to say. I mean, people 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.720 can argue with me as much as they want um. 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.800 But you know, Obama is somebody who on on a 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.240 whole bunch of issues, has shown a hostility toward religion, 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.560 whether it's suing the little sisters of the poor when 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:53.280 you know he was implementing the monstrosity known as Obamacare, 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.040 but also on the issue of Islam, there was clearly 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.280 an affinity. I mean, he he did have um special 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.400 place in his heart. And he lived in Indonesia for 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.000 a number of years as a youth. And that's not 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.840 controversial or anything. That's that's stated fact that we all know. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.680 It's in his biographies. But he lived in Indonesia for 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:14.400 a number of years, and I do think that he 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.000 developed a an affinity for Islam. And it's interesting that 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.840 he lived in Indonesia, which has traditionally been a place 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.200 held up by the left in this country. I see, 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.480 you can't have a pluralistic and peaceful but actually things 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.800 in Indonesia in some places are going going in the 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.360 wrong direction right now on the whole radicalism and Gehodism thing. 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.440 But it was just strategically wrong and it was a 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.120 bad It was a bad look, it was it was 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:47.520 bad thought process. Everything about Obama's approach. This stuff. I 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.600 just think I think it was just wrong, wrong, wrong, 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.360 wrong when it came to dealing with radical Islam, and 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:57.400 it started with an inability or an unwillingness to say 0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.160 radical Islam. I've also always thought, by the way, that 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:06.800 there was a a kind of uh, what's the a, 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:11.520 A a showy nous, a kind of pedantic thing that 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.040 Obama always had that I do not miss that we're 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:18.360 not subjected to this anymore. Where he wanted, he wanted 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.680 to always be signaling to people that thought of themselves 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.440 as really well informed as you know, I'm one of 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.000 I'm one of you. And how he would talk about 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.360 these issues literally, how he would talk about it, meaning 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:32.600 the words and the pronunciations, which is why he would say, uh, 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:36.560 Bakistan and alban and had this affect when he would 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.960 speak about some of these It wasn't an accent, it 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:40.800 was an effect. It was he he thinks that this 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.480 is how you know. It's like somebody who's not a 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.440 Spanish speaker, who whenever they see a Spanish name likes 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.080 to really just lean in Martinez. It's like, no, you 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.640 can just say Martinez. You know, you don't have to 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.240 get Martinez. You know, he say, if you're a Spanish speaker, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.680 say whatever you want. But I'm just saying it's some 0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:00.640 some liberal Americans see a Latin n aim and they 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.040 over enunciated because because I think that that's a signaling 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.280 mechanism for how sophisticated they are. I think Obama would 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.560 do that with some of the discussions about terrorism radical Islam, 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:14.680 trying to show it's also why I would note this. Uh, 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:20.080 you know, they were the only ones, the only ones, 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.440 and it went away. And I used to make fun 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.120 of friends of mine in the administration that they would 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:29.440 say eisl because Obama eisl eisl and everyone else was 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.119 saying isis And you'll notice that it did not last 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.920 beyond Obama's time in office because they said isissel because 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.600 they thought that that's it sounded fancy. It's the lavant, 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.159 it's the more accurate version of it. No, it's not. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:44.040 It was just kind of annoying. I want to hear 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.399 from America's mayor here in just a moment. I want 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.800 to hear from Rudolph Giuliani himself. I mean, he's not 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.480 calling in we've got some I wish well I'm calling 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.080 another time he's called I think we've had him on 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.520 the show before. I've had him on other shows before. Um. 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.840 He but I want to hear from him on on 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:00.679 nine eleven and get his to things, and I'll tell 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.879 you a little bit about what I remember from that day. Um. 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:06.320 We'll move on into the second hour. I've got an 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.280 editorial that I need to tear apart with you. We've 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.960 got Sean Parnell joining the show, would be great conversation. 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.600 I'm also going to talk to you about the Jack 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.240 Ryan Amazon which I just happened to watch it this week. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:19.920 I know it's nine eleven. They talk a lot about 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.840 nine eleven in the show, the Jack Ryan Amazon Series, 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.119 which I watched in full. I'll give you my my 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.200 entire review of that coming up in the third hour 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.239 of the show tonight. And so we've got any more 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:38.160 coming up eight four eight to five, eight four four nine, Buck, 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.360 we'll be right back. The first couple of days, We're 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.440 just gruesome. The realization that we lost that many people, 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.400 the realization we weren't gonna discover bodies, which that well 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.920 everyone into a hospital waited was a shock that was 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.760 absolutely shocked to me. Um. I thought I saw it 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:56.000 the first day. We were going to save a lot 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.080 of people. We ended up saving whatever we saved in 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.080 US first couple hours. That was it. But the people 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.240 coming forward throughout the United States throughout the world, that 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.720 is a particularly memorable experience that that you're talking about 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.480 because it was kids, but it happened with firefighters from 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.040 Chicago and Philadelphia and Florida and Texas. It happened with 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.320 school school classes all over the country. It happened with 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:18.760 a bunch of Canadians five thousand coming to New York 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:24.200 in November, Canada, to New York, Canada to help New York. UM. 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.719 So that that got you through that said to you, 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.720 oh my gosh, we have a whole country behind us, 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.040 if not a lot of decent people throughout the world. 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:37.280 It was that that coming together of so many different 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:39.320 people from all over the world as as a result 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.280 of nine eleven that I think is one of the 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:46.080 great um positive after effects. It didn't last forever, and 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:50.640 it wasn't certainly everyone there. There were people, as heinous 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.560 as it is to even just have to repeat this, 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.600 there were people who were celebrating, as you know, on 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:58.280 eleven UM. And I actually have been told stories from 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.720 friends of mine in foreign countries that you wouldn't necessarily expect, 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:04.760 like Brazil. I had a friend in Brazil who said 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:08.680 people were cheering and celebrating on nine eleven. I had 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.800 a friend in Egypt who said people were cheering and 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.240 celebrating on nine eleven. I mean, I've had friends that 0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.919 you know, they've this this somehow didn't really you know, 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:22.080 there's the stories about the kids in and the West 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:24.560 Bank were given candy. I think they said to celebrate 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.800 in front of cameras or something. But it was it 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:32.240 was not a completely uh isolated incident to see people 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.240 that were cheering. But anyway, most of the world came 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:38.040 together and it was an instance of us all seeing 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.920 or or for once at least taking a step back 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:47.800 to to remember that America is a true global superpower 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:50.080 in the sense that the world is a better place 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.639 with America as it is. And I do think that 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.399 somewhere in the minds of a lot of folks who 0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.800 were expressing their their sympathy for what had happened to us, 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.040 and and those who felt like an attack on America 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.680 was really an attack on civilization, which is what it was. 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:12.520 This was nine eleven was an attack on civilization. Uh, 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.120 that's because they realized that we are in the vanguard 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:17.640 of civilization, that we make the world a better, safer, 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:23.359 more advanced, more just honestly more joyful place. And that 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.280 is that is America's role on this planet. I'm not 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:28.920 saying we're perfect. I'm not saying we do that all 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.159 the time. I'm not saying we're the only ones. But 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.640 there is something very special about this nation. And that 0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:38.400 specialness for a moment wasn't called into question, but it 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:44.480 was threatened to be extinguished. Because you know, this is 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:45.840 one of the big things when you go back and 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:47.960 do it in any any remembrance of what it was 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:50.399 like in nine eleven. We didn't know how many planes, 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.040 we didn't know how many other plots, we didn't know 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:58.119 what else was was in the works. I remember I 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:05.240 was walking to my Shakespeare class with a professor so Field. Uh, 0:22:05.240 --> 0:22:09.840 and I was groggy. I was really tired and someone 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:12.440 out of it. And I will tell you this, I 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.320 don't think I ever mentioned this before on the show, 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.480 And this was I had a I was taking Arabic 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:20.560 at the time. I just started. I was in I 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:23.399 think my second week of Arabic class when nine eleven happened, 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.120 and I had this day and it was the day 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:32.840 before nine eleven when I had gotten up and for 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:36.280 some reason, I had thought that I had missed class 0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:40.280 and I had missed a quiz, and I got up 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.840 and ran and now why would I even have a 0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.320 quiz so soon the semester? I it wasn't. I'm not 0:22:46.359 --> 0:22:48.320 saying it was. It was rational, it was it was 0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.160 essentially a dream. But I got up and I ran 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:54.919 across campus at six o'clock or something like that in 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:56.760 the morning, was very which for a college kid is 0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.280 no one's up at six o'clock. I mean, I rode crew, 0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:02.800 and other than that, we never got up early. But 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:06.200 I ran across the campus and got to an empty 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:10.480 classroom and realized the whole campus was asleep. Now that 0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:13.560 that's it's nothing I know, and I'm not say but 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:15.960 it was the day before the nine eleven attack. And 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:17.640 there's always been this part of me that felt like 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:21.840 there was something that was coming, there was something that 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.480 was going to happen. And I'm sure other people have 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.360 their own and you know, that might be my mind 0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:28.600 playing tricks in me that in retrospect, you know, you have. 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:31.160 You know, it's easy to look at any little thing 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:33.240 once you know how a story ends, and say, oh, 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:35.280 well that you know that was a signpost for that 0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:37.280 other thing. But I just always remember that. I remember 0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:38.679 it was the only time it ever happened to me 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:41.600 in all four years of being a college student, that 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:45.480 I woke up without an alarm, ran across the campus 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:47.439 and thought that something, you know, thought that I had 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:48.800 I had missed class, that I was in this kind 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:51.600 of panic. And it turned out that I had just 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.600 I had gotten up early, early and had a weird dream. 0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:59.240 And I remember the next day, on on nine eleven UM, 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:02.480 going into the class room and being told to turn 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:05.280 around and and go back because we were going to 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:08.000 cancel the class because a plane had hit one of 0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:12.280 the World Trade Center buildings. And I as everybody everyone 0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.520 who heard that had the same or not everybody, but 0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:18.679 everyone that I can think of UM who has told 0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:20.840 their version of what it was like that day for them, 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:23.560 had the same thought, which was, you know, a prop plane, 0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:29.240 maybe two or three people killed, which is a tragedy 0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:32.280 for them and their families, But it had it had 0:24:32.320 --> 0:24:34.360 certainly not occurred to any of us, although I had 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:39.760 read the books State of Fear, in which Michael Crichton, 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:45.560 whom I mentioned yesterday, has a kind of kama Kaze 0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:50.760 revenge plot where the Japanese to get revenge for Japanese 0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:54.000 hype ultra nationalists to get revenge World War two, fly 0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:57.600 a plane a like a Boeing seven forty seven into 0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.879 the into the Congress with a joint session of com 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:04.080 was going on, so that that it wasn't unthought of 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.760 that somebody could use or you know, it wasn't beyond 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.359 anyone's imagination somebody could use a plane as a missile 0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:12.720 like that. But I remember I was one of the 0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:14.920 few people on my floor who had a TV because 0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:19.199 we were sophomores in college, and I turned on the 0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:23.360 cable box and sat there watching it, and people congregated 0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:25.879 in my room. So it was right after that, you know, 0:25:25.960 --> 0:25:29.840 I still this day don't really understand how the professor 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:34.720 knew that it was serious enough that he should cancel class. 0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:39.400 I suppose I guess people were rather look the World 0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:42.560 Trade Center had been bombed years before, maybe, But I 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.679 remember walking back to my room thinking that this was 0:25:44.720 --> 0:25:48.600 not going to be um. This was not some huge deal. 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:50.479 It was maybe a tragedy, but it wasn't. I had 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:53.959 no idea that it was a mass casualty terror attack 0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.680 that would change not just the trajectory of the country 0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:00.480 and the world, but my life. I knew ever thought 0:26:00.600 --> 0:26:03.600 of going to the c I A until after Not eleven. 0:26:03.640 --> 0:26:05.439 I mean, that was just not something I would have considered. 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:07.480 I was, honestly, I was trying to head straight to 0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:10.240 Wall Street. I wanted to have a a comfortable life 0:26:10.240 --> 0:26:12.520 where I would be rewarded as as best as I 0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:16.359 could get rewarded for you know, my my work in 0:26:16.440 --> 0:26:20.480 the in the well, in the office. Um. And after 0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:25.160 not eleven, I I made a lifestyle change or two 0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:27.560 so that I would be a very attractive candidate for 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:30.080 the CIA. Then it was the first job I applied 0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:33.040 for my senior year, all on my own. I mean, 0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:36.399 my parents have no government connection or no you know, 0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:40.200 neither my parents was in the military or an intelligence community. 0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:42.800 So it just all came to me that this is 0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:44.160 what I wanted to do. So, I mean not eleven 0:26:44.200 --> 0:26:45.920 and that that is the day that changed so many lives, 0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:49.000 changed my life for sure. But I remember going back 0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:52.679 and watching the uh, the gaping hole inside of the 0:26:52.680 --> 0:27:00.479 building and then also seeing that second plane hit I uh, 0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:06.080 and that was that's just one of those moments. It's 0:27:06.080 --> 0:27:10.160 one of the most you will absolutely never forget. I UM, 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:13.720 I remember it very clearly, that part of it. And 0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:15.600 I remember I turned to some of my friends in 0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.400 the room and I said, oh my, oh my god, 0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:20.920 we're going to war um and this will you know. 0:27:20.960 --> 0:27:22.400 I didn't know any of that, but Lodon or any 0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:24.159 I mean, I didn't know any of this stuff. I 0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.399 just knew that this that when you were attacked in 0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:30.000 that way, that there was going to be a a serious, 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:33.760 uh and prolonged military response, as we know there was. 0:27:34.640 --> 0:27:37.679 So it changed the world, folks, changed our our whole, 0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:42.560 our whole way of thinking. And it is really the 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:47.840 most single formative event, which is is uh sant a lot, 0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:49.880 considering we almost had a great depression just a few 0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:53.560 years ago, But it is the most single formative event 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:58.600 in in geopolitics in my lifetime. And I think that 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:01.920 that's or certainly in my adult lifetime. People might say 0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:04.720 the fall of the fall of the Wall and the 0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.680 collapse of the Soviet Union would be right up there, 0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:11.760 which I think, yes, that's that's certainly true, um, but 0:28:12.119 --> 0:28:14.960 that had been coming a long time, so I think 0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:18.280 there was more of an ability to psychologically pivot to it. 0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:21.439 Uh nine eleven. We we went to bed the night 0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:25.000 before thinking that America, the pox Americana would continue forever, 0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.520 and we're just gonna get richer and happier and everything's 0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:30.359 gonna be great. And then twenty four hours later we 0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:34.160 realized we have some really serious enemies and we're gonna 0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:36.320 have to take the fight to them. And a lot 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:37.679 of you listening, I know ended up in a rock 0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:40.960 and Afghanistan. I never would have thought, but I ended 0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:45.600 up there, So that's what happened. The United States will 0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:49.600 use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those 0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:54.760 of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court. 0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.000 We will not cooperate with the i c C. We 0:28:58.080 --> 0:29:00.880 will let the i c C I on its own. 0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:04.360 After all, for all intents and purposes, the i c 0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:07.560 C is already dead to us. The i c C 0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:12.800 prosecutor has requested to investigate these Americans for alleged detainee 0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:20.800 abuse and utterly unfounded, unjustifiable investigation. Folks, isn't it great 0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:26.600 to have an administration that doesn't think that foreign countries 0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:31.760 and foreign entities should have the right to nullify US sovereignty. 0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.080 Isn't it great to have an administration, to have a 0:29:34.080 --> 0:29:38.320 White House, a president and president's top national security advisors 0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:42.320 like Ambassador Bolton there or now National Security Advisor Bolton, 0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:46.160 who just say, you know what, No, no, We've seen 0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:49.520 the ridiculousness that is the u n We We've seen 0:29:49.600 --> 0:29:53.320 this notion play out that all countries are roughly equivalent, 0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:55.920 that all countries should have a somewhat equal say, or 0:29:55.960 --> 0:30:01.200 close to it. And I'm sorry, but we don't really 0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:02.800 care what the rest of the world thinks about a 0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:06.560 whole lot of things, and we certainly should not care. 0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:09.960 And this is one of these ideological dividing lines between 0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:14.160 democrats and Republicans. We certainly don't care about a court 0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:17.960 constituted in two thousand and two with the Hague that's 0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:22.240 supposed to, you know, investigate and prosecute war crimes that 0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.080 we are not a signatory to were we we do 0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:27.680 not recognize it. We're not saying, yeah, that's how we're 0:30:27.680 --> 0:30:30.720 gonna do things, because you know, folks, the reality of 0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.959 what would happen here is that you would have countries 0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:37.440 that uh, you know, we have to operate in for 0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:42.120 any of our any any military covert actions that take place, 0:30:42.240 --> 0:30:45.440 any black ops that go down, any number of things. 0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:49.520 Never mind also the more uh open operations that are 0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:52.840 ongoing in places like rock in Afghanistan, where I know 0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:55.160 we have agreements with the host countries, but you know, 0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.320 there's always this possibility that a new government will come 0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:02.240 in or there'll be some push for us to hand 0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:06.120 over to the International Criminal Court Americans, and you know, 0:31:06.440 --> 0:31:09.480 we we police our own And this is where you 0:31:09.520 --> 0:31:11.640 get into the whole well that sounds like something Vladimir 0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:15.640 Putin would say, right, You get these internationalists, the self 0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:19.640 righteous leftists who immediately take this pose and take this 0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:23.560 position of oh, well, you know you want other countries 0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.520 to be subject to international law, but not America. And 0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:29.200 to that I say no, no, we're saying that our 0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:33.000 military will not be subject to foreign entities. We hold 0:31:33.120 --> 0:31:37.360 our own military subject to US law, which is much 0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:41.600 more just and comprehensive than any international law, and is 0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:46.160 also all right as a sovereign nation. And they will say, well, 0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:48.480 buck again. This is where you could have you know, 0:31:48.520 --> 0:31:51.360 the Russians or the Iranians or any number of different 0:31:51.360 --> 0:31:53.360 countries who would say, well, we would do that too, 0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:56.400 And in response to that is sorry, this is the 0:31:56.520 --> 0:31:58.840 U n thinking that the left has that comes back 0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:03.120 and we don't active. We are not on our government, 0:32:03.160 --> 0:32:05.120 despite all of its flaws and problems, are not on 0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:08.160 an equivalent moral plane to the Russians. We're not on 0:32:08.160 --> 0:32:11.200 an equivalent equivalent moral plane. Put honestly, do a lot 0:32:11.440 --> 0:32:14.880 of Muslim majority countries. Uh, We're certainly not on the 0:32:14.920 --> 0:32:19.480 same moral plane as any of our opposition countries around 0:32:19.520 --> 0:32:21.880 the world, any of our our enemies or near and 0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:26.400 close to being enemies. H And that's why I think 0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:29.240 that that Bolton just drawing a firm line here. It's 0:32:29.320 --> 0:32:34.280 absolutely the move, Absolutely what should happen. And I just 0:32:34.320 --> 0:32:36.160 have to note that, you know, with with Obama, Yes, 0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:38.720 I know we didn't become a signatory under Obama, but 0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:43.280 there was always this desire to play kate international opinion. 0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:47.240 You know, Obama always had this idea that we need 0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:50.080 to be concerned with what the editorial team at the Guardian, 0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:52.240 you know, the British paper has to say about something. 0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:56.400 I don't care. I just don't and I don't want 0:32:56.400 --> 0:32:59.400 my elected representatives to care when it comes to international relations. 0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:02.240 I care about two things that our governments involved in. Really. 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:07.440 I care about trade, and I care about keeping us safe. 0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:14.080 That's it. Beyond that, it's mostly it's really details, sure, democracy, 0:33:14.160 --> 0:33:17.520 promotion and trying to do you know, good things human rights, 0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:19.840 clean water, and countries of No, we we do all 0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:23.200 that stuff, but that's never what's that's never what's that issue? 0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:25.920 The problem comes up when all of a sudden you 0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:32.720 have this obama Ist position on international institutions that we 0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:35.520 should allow other countries to have a say in our affairs, 0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:39.200 and I mean the idea that we who would enforce that. 0:33:39.240 --> 0:33:41.040 By the way, you know that they're gonna put out 0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:43.320 what an arrest warrant for one of our soldiers or 0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:46.200 one of our generals. How how long do we think 0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:49.440 it would be before a dream of many liberals would 0:33:49.440 --> 0:33:52.720 occur where you have, for example, you know, Dick Cheney 0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:57.000 being prosecuted for war crimes in the Hague. As some 0:33:57.120 --> 0:33:59.680 liberals expressed at the time that that that's their desire. 0:34:00.520 --> 0:34:02.680 You know, we're gonna hand over a former US premier, 0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:05.680 former US president. Now we we have our own core processes. 0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:10.160 You know, anybody who violates rules of engagement or violence 0:34:10.239 --> 0:34:13.600 uniform Code of Military Justice can be held and is 0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:16.920 held accountable under our laws, and we're not We're not 0:34:16.920 --> 0:34:19.640 going to surrender that sovereignty to anybody. So I really 0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:23.000 think that that, you know, Bolton took the right step today. 0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:25.239 It's good to see and it's just a reminder of 0:34:25.920 --> 0:34:30.759 why I am so happy that we have Trump and 0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:33.760 Trump's people calling the shots instead of what we have before, 0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:41.239 because it was it was always so honestly depressing to 0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:45.520 hear American leadership that was acting like they should be 0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:47.520 at the at the beck and call of the so 0:34:47.640 --> 0:34:52.120 called international community. I mean, what is international opinion? People 0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:54.000 talk about this like it's a thing like they're pulling 0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:56.000 all over the world. And when we say international opinion, 0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:59.400 what we really tend to mean is, you know, the primary, 0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:05.000 the the UH opinion that we have a sense of 0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:11.759 from major media outlets in industrialized and and western countries. UH. 0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:15.960 And that's kind of it, that that's international international opinion. 0:35:16.000 --> 0:35:19.160 You know, I think most folks, whether it's in Argentina 0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:25.479 or Botswana or Myanmar, are of the mind that they'd 0:35:25.560 --> 0:35:27.640 rather just worry about their own stuff. And they don't 0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:29.000 have too much in the way of opinions on what 0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:31.680 America is doing, and and and vice versa. Babe, you 0:35:31.719 --> 0:35:34.520 know that's the way we feel too. So good job 0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:38.840 for Bolton, well done today. Another good issue for the 0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:40.840 Trump administration when I think they came down the right 0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:42.479 side of things. I want to talk to you about 0:35:42.520 --> 0:35:45.640 the the dumbest editorial that I read today, the stupidest 0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:49.600 one courtesy of Joe Scarborough that's coming up. Do you 0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:51.640 have opinions that you feel like you can't express? I 0:35:51.680 --> 0:35:53.600 think we all do. Are you looking for a place 0:35:53.640 --> 0:35:55.920 to stir up some conversations, let your thoughts and your 0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:58.359 opinions be heard.

This is the Buck Sexton show. CIA 0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:14.640 analysts no the retweeting of neo Nazi videos Charlotte's fille. 0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:17.719 I mean, I could go on and on what he 0:37:17.800 --> 0:37:22.640 said about a majority black countries. Um, that is tearing 0:37:22.680 --> 0:37:25.880 more at the fabric of America than attacks on the 0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:30.120 Twin Towers. Did we rebuilt from that? We became stronger 0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:33.920 because of that. But this seems to me a far graver, 0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:40.200 graver threat to the idea of America. That's multi millionaire 0:37:40.239 --> 0:37:45.560 pundit at MSNBC Joe Scarborough in reference to a column 0:37:45.600 --> 0:37:48.040 that was published in the on the Washington Post, and 0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.240 they should be a shame, but they have no shame. 0:37:50.840 --> 0:37:52.879 I keep returning to this notion of well, the left 0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.319 must finally have learned some kind of lesson here from 0:37:55.360 --> 0:37:59.000 just being grotesque. But no, no, they wallow in grotesque. 0:37:59.040 --> 0:38:03.080 They like it. They they like to just eliminate any 0:38:03.160 --> 0:38:07.280 sense of decency, fair play, or honor in their dealings 0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:09.640 with the other side and their dealings with conservatives. That's 0:38:10.440 --> 0:38:13.440 they take a certain pleasure I think in being as 0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:17.920 as underhanded and as as unfair as possible to too 0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:21.879 conservatives and to the right to Trump. Obviously. Uh, this 0:38:21.960 --> 0:38:26.719 column that was written by Scarborough, which I mean, I 0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.840 would just note first of all, it starts off I 0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:32.759 mean it starts off with with this, and this is 0:38:32.800 --> 0:38:36.120 always a bad sign. This is like somebody who's writing 0:38:36.200 --> 0:38:38.880 for their high school newspaper who's trying really hard to 0:38:38.920 --> 0:38:42.680 impress people. Here's here's how its column starts off. Cataclysmic 0:38:42.760 --> 0:38:46.120 events often bring with them violent and abrupt endings to 0:38:46.200 --> 0:38:50.920 settled ages and long established norms. Those absorbing the impact 0:38:50.920 --> 0:38:55.600 of these historical aftershocks rarely grasp the apocal changes in 0:38:55.640 --> 0:38:59.960 real time. Yeah, when huge things happen, people don't necessarily 0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:01.799 understand the full context of them when they have and 0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:07.040 thanks Joe for for the really bombastic and and pretty 0:39:07.080 --> 0:39:10.440 clownish opening of this editorial. And then he goes on 0:39:10.480 --> 0:39:13.160 to talk about you know, nine eleven of World War Two, 0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:17.080 and he talks about some of the greatest challenges, the 0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:20.360 greatest challenges in the history of this country, challenges that 0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:25.400 involved the threat of life and death to the United 0:39:25.440 --> 0:39:29.920 States as well as millions of its people. Right, I 0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:31.960 mean to to the end of us as a nation 0:39:32.080 --> 0:39:35.400 and the end of us individually as as human beings, 0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:39.719 depending on how it all went. And I just can't 0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:42.720 help but but note that, you know, Scarborough has gotten 0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:46.919 crushed for this idiot editorial today because he says that 0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:50.640 that Trump is more dangerous to the fabric of American 0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:53.360 than Bin Laden. Now, Joe Scarborough doesn't really know anything 0:39:53.360 --> 0:39:56.239 about terrorism or Gehot or gehotism, right, He just knows 0:39:56.239 --> 0:39:58.320 what he has read here or there in the newspaper 0:39:58.360 --> 0:40:00.680 and what his research team tells him to say. And 0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:03.480 you know, I'm sure he probably changes his position on 0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:07.000 jihadism the same way he did on Trump. That's why 0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:12.520 I mean Scarborough as the anti Trumper is particularly self 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.320 serving and gross because when he thought that he was 0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:18.120 going to have this great relationship with scar with with 0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:21.040 Trump and then it was going to advance advances already. 0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:23.440 I mean, Scarborough's advanced well beyond the wildest dreams of 0:40:23.440 --> 0:40:25.640 anybody that would look at him and say, yeah, that's 0:40:25.640 --> 0:40:27.600 a guy who should have his have his own And 0:40:27.560 --> 0:40:30.279 don't know, somebody think buck, you know, don't you sound 0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:32.560 like you're no. Look, I'm trying to be honest with you. 0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:34.879 I mean, there are some people who are really really 0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:37.920 good at what they do. If you want a a 0:40:38.200 --> 0:40:42.360 very leftist point of view, you know, Rachel Maddow shows 0:40:42.400 --> 0:40:44.040 a great place to go. I mean she is, she 0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:46.960 is good at what she does. I I respectability, I 0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:51.040 respect talent. I think Joe Scarborough just happens to have 0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:53.239 some of the right friends in the right places. I 0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:57.440 just I find nothing about him as a broadcaster or 0:40:57.480 --> 0:41:00.800 in any other respect impressive, sir. Only not his writing. 0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:04.200 But he sat down to write this, this editorial, and 0:41:04.239 --> 0:41:09.080 it's that's the thing. It's it's worse than a an utterance, right, 0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:11.200 I mean, like I do radio three hours a day, 0:41:11.719 --> 0:41:13.560 I say, thinks sometimes I think that's not really how 0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:17.240 I meant that. And while I'm pretty cautious or careful 0:41:17.320 --> 0:41:22.120 and not wildly overstating things or getting into a place 0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:25.360 where I'm gonna have to say sorry about that, you know, 0:41:25.440 --> 0:41:27.440 I know that it's going to happen. It's just the 0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:30.239 reality of my business. But an editorial is something else. 0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:32.960 I mean to publish an opinion column in the Washington Post. 0:41:33.719 --> 0:41:38.520 If you're Scarborough who is from I won't get into that. 0:41:38.560 --> 0:41:40.800 And I've I've heard things that he's not a particularly 0:41:40.960 --> 0:41:44.120 nice guy either, which I just can't. I can't drop 0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:45.839 that from my mind because I've heard it from people 0:41:45.840 --> 0:41:47.960 who who would know. But you know, maybe they just 0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:49.879 have some personal people them. I don't know. I've never 0:41:49.920 --> 0:41:52.400 met him, I've never interacted them, never worked with him. 0:41:52.440 --> 0:41:56.440 I'm just judging, basing all this, judging this on his 0:41:57.040 --> 0:42:00.320 on his work. But he wrote this editorial and to 0:42:00.760 --> 0:42:03.560 convinced or try to convince people that Trump is worse 0:42:03.600 --> 0:42:05.440 than nine eleven when it comes to an attack on 0:42:05.480 --> 0:42:08.439 the fabric of this country. This is something that only 0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:12.720 a person who is crazy or has Trump derangement syndrome 0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:16.560 could say. And that's why we call it a syndrome, because, 0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:20.319 as I have told you. It is pathological. This is 0:42:20.360 --> 0:42:22.479 beyond just you know, we don't agree on an issue 0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:25.080 of politics, you know, Joe Scarborough and I don't see 0:42:25.120 --> 0:42:28.319 this the same way. This is I think that he 0:42:28.360 --> 0:42:35.279 would have a hard time accepting the reality of you know, 0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:37.719 the real implications of the words and the things that 0:42:37.760 --> 0:42:41.040 he's saying, because he's so wrapped up in this notion 0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:45.960 of Trump as an existential threat to the country, existential 0:42:46.000 --> 0:42:48.759 threat house folks. You know, if Trump did any of 0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:51.239 these things that they say he's talked about, or you 0:42:51.280 --> 0:42:53.359 know that that the Woodward Book, which I would note 0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:57.040 today even more people what Rob Portman came out and 0:42:57.400 --> 0:42:59.120 Mike who was the other one, Rob Portman and someone 0:42:59.160 --> 0:43:01.719 else came out today to say that the Woodword Book 0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:04.959 is not a fair representation of things that were said 0:43:05.040 --> 0:43:08.120 or meetings is not accurate. Uh And what Word has 0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:11.600 had plenty of problems in the past with people claiming 0:43:11.640 --> 0:43:16.640 that he's you know, is his ability to string together 0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:21.000 these events are let's just say it's questionable at times, 0:43:21.040 --> 0:43:24.400 and it is certainly questionable. But you know, I I 0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:27.520 sit here and and I'm trying to wrap my mind 0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:31.840 around why somebody like Joe Scarborough. Uh would would say this, 0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:35.239 and he must believe that Trump is on the on 0:43:35.280 --> 0:43:39.000 the precipice or or Trump is is just a bad 0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:42.520 day away from starting a military conflict with North Korea, 0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:45.480 which is a stupid thing to believe. I mean, there's 0:43:45.520 --> 0:43:49.439 no real basis for this. And on top of that, 0:43:49.719 --> 0:43:53.239 I would offer to you that, yeah, then then we 0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:56.520 would have a discussion about, you know, removing the president 0:43:56.600 --> 0:43:58.719 right then. I mean, if he did these things that 0:43:58.719 --> 0:44:01.560 they always say he's just about to do, well, then 0:44:01.600 --> 0:44:04.279 I think there could be a discussion about is this 0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:07.560 man fit to be president? But all we see is 0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:11.560 a president who's getting great results, who's implementing some very 0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:15.919 conservative policies, who is remaking the judiciary in a way 0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:20.000 that would make Scalia proud looking down from on high, 0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:23.239 and you know, goes after the media in a way 0:44:23.280 --> 0:44:25.399 that some find a little bit aggressive or vulgar or whatever. 0:44:25.440 --> 0:44:27.640 But I think it's great. I think the media needs 0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:31.360 to get slapped around a little bit by by the 0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:33.759 The only person who can really do it right now 0:44:33.880 --> 0:44:36.000 is Trump. I mean, the only person who really gets 0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:39.120 their attention quite this way is is Donald Trump. And 0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:41.080 and they act like that at any moment. Now, there's 0:44:41.120 --> 0:44:45.719 gonna be some crisis that uh just unravels in front 0:44:45.719 --> 0:44:49.640 of us, because Trump is, you know, not of sound mind. 0:44:50.520 --> 0:44:54.279 You know, That's the the gray irony here, folks, is 0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:56.000 that I think that the people that think that Trump 0:44:56.040 --> 0:44:58.920 is crazy are the ones who are crazy. I think 0:44:58.960 --> 0:45:02.120 that the Joe scarbor Rows, I mean, Trump is living 0:45:02.160 --> 0:45:04.320 rent free in their heads. Man. I mean, he's gotten 0:45:04.880 --> 0:45:08.560 so deep into their world, he is, he has pushed 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:12.960 so far into you know, how they view themselves and 0:45:13.000 --> 0:45:16.400 how they view their role in America that there they've 0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:19.960 lost it. They've lost it because this editorial, this is 0:45:20.040 --> 0:45:23.080 this is sheer idiocy. This is not this is not 0:45:23.360 --> 0:45:25.840 an easy mistake that anybody could make. This is not 0:45:25.920 --> 0:45:28.480 some one off. It's not oh well, you know, no 0:45:28.600 --> 0:45:31.440 big deal man, Like I just thought we would, you know, 0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:33.960 talk about something, and I got a little bit messed up, 0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:35.440 or I got a little ahead of myself. No, this 0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:39.120 is an editorial submitted to the Washington Post where a 0:45:39.320 --> 0:45:45.000 prominent cable news so called conservative by the way, is 0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:47.320 saying that Trump is a greater danger to the fabric 0:45:47.360 --> 0:45:48.480 of him and now I know he's like, well, the 0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:50.680 fabric of America is more about ideas and every but 0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:54.520 you know, as we've been discussing, I mean nine eleven, 0:45:54.680 --> 0:45:56.440 we look back at it now and think that we 0:45:56.560 --> 0:45:58.840 had it in hand and we were gonna, you know, 0:45:59.120 --> 0:46:01.279 meaning the threat again, the threat of Gehodism and the 0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:04.280 war on terror at the time, folks, as we all 0:46:04.400 --> 0:46:06.040 can remember, if we think back to it, none of 0:46:06.040 --> 0:46:09.840 that was nearly as clear. And geodis m for a 0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:12.399 short period time was a real threat to our way 0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:15.239 of life and will be again if we are not vigilant, 0:46:15.400 --> 0:46:18.239 and that includes vigilance against stupidity like what we see 0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:22.480 here from Scarborough. The FBI calls home title theft one 0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:25.880 of the fastest growing crimes out there.

And I think the conversions of 0:47:21.920 --> 0:47:25.080 that book in the anonymous column, I mean, it's quite 0:47:25.080 --> 0:47:27.759 evident that President Trump there's a coupe. I mean, there's 0:47:27.760 --> 0:47:29.359 a coupe like to the same there was a coup 0:47:29.440 --> 0:47:32.839 by General McClellan in the senior leadership in the Union 0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:35.239 Army to try to thwart what Abraham Lincoln wanted to 0:47:35.280 --> 0:47:37.560 do in the Civil War. You have an exact type 0:47:37.600 --> 0:47:39.880 of coup right now. What was said in that anonymous 0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:42.920 letter was absolutely outrageous, and I think the President will 0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:45.719 take immediate and direct action to defind out who the 0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:48.480 conspirators are. I don't think there's any one author. I 0:47:48.480 --> 0:47:50.560 think there's an author that. I think there's a somebody 0:47:50.560 --> 0:47:52.840 that drafted it. There are many voices in there. I 0:47:52.840 --> 0:47:55.000 think you can tell the way it's written. I think 0:47:55.040 --> 0:47:58.080 that's a much broader conspiracy than people think. I think 0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:00.759 it's probably six to a dozen people. And I think 0:48:00.760 --> 0:48:03.359 you would immediately start to do what Andrew Jackson did, 0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:07.000 do what Abraham Lincoln did, find out who's responsible and 0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:12.520 fire him. Steve Bannon breathing fire on this issue of 0:48:12.640 --> 0:48:16.480 the hunt for a non September as we call it yesterday, 0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:21.680 but the hunt for the anonymous editorialist or editorial contributor 0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:27.000 or whatever who has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that 0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:29.040 there is in fact a deep state, that that's what's 0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:32.279 going on here. And while the the effort was was 0:48:32.400 --> 0:48:35.800 made to try and make the deep state component of 0:48:35.840 --> 0:48:38.640 this sound like they're acting responsibly and ethically and that 0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:41.719 they're they're really doing something we should all be thankful for, 0:48:42.320 --> 0:48:45.799 at the end of the day, most folks who read this, 0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:50.799 and we're being honest with themselves, said this is terrible 0:48:51.560 --> 0:48:55.280 um for our government and it's really actually very damaging 0:48:56.040 --> 0:48:59.799 for those who are quite anti Trump, because there's no 0:48:59.840 --> 0:49:02.040 more discussion, folks, whether there is a deep state. There 0:49:02.160 --> 0:49:07.719 is only questions or how large and how active is it, 0:49:08.520 --> 0:49:11.320 how much is it trying to undermine the president of 0:49:11.360 --> 0:49:14.279 the United States. I just, you know, I want to 0:49:14.320 --> 0:49:18.080 put this in the context here. Imagine for a moment 0:49:19.000 --> 0:49:22.920 that there was a group of people at the FBI 0:49:22.920 --> 0:49:25.280 and the Department of Justice who had tried to open, 0:49:25.960 --> 0:49:30.320 or had opened rather a criminal investigation of a sitting 0:49:30.360 --> 0:49:36.800 president under very very dubious at best circumstances. Imagine that 0:49:37.160 --> 0:49:40.359 there were people who worked for the government who had 0:49:40.400 --> 0:49:43.719 been described as crying at their desks because they were 0:49:43.760 --> 0:49:46.280 so upset at the prospect of working for that president. 0:49:46.960 --> 0:49:50.160 And then somebody who is described as being a senior 0:49:50.280 --> 0:49:53.920 official in the actual White House said that the president 0:49:54.160 --> 0:49:59.359 was having his will thwarted by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who 0:49:59.400 --> 0:50:02.080 think they know better than the president. Imagine all of that, 0:50:03.000 --> 0:50:06.280 which is what's going on right now, but the president 0:50:06.360 --> 0:50:11.320 is Obama. And just think for a moment, what would 0:50:11.320 --> 0:50:14.480 the reaction be in the press if if put aside 0:50:14.640 --> 0:50:16.080 all the things that I just said, if you just 0:50:16.239 --> 0:50:21.280 had a solitary editorial, forget about all the Russia inclusion 0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:23.520 stuff everything else. If you would have had one person 0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:26.480 in the White House who had published an editorial saying, 0:50:26.840 --> 0:50:31.759 I think Barack Obama is so incompetent that I refused 0:50:31.840 --> 0:50:34.560 to let him read documents that he should be able 0:50:34.560 --> 0:50:38.680 to read. US President State said, I work to prevent 0:50:38.840 --> 0:50:44.600 his decision making from being enacted. You know that the 0:50:44.640 --> 0:50:49.440 media would be screaming and freaking out over this in 0:50:49.560 --> 0:50:53.240 every possible way. And here we are. That's the reality 0:50:53.239 --> 0:50:56.400 of Donald Trump. And it's on the one hand, the 0:50:56.400 --> 0:50:59.359 New York Times is clearly very proud of itself, there's 0:50:59.440 --> 0:51:01.839 no about that. They think that they've done some great 0:51:01.880 --> 0:51:05.279 service here. Uh. And and on the other I think 0:51:05.680 --> 0:51:09.399 my more recent revelation that they're not going to try 0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:13.600 to find this editorial columnists, I think that's true. I 0:51:13.640 --> 0:51:16.120 think that they feel like it's served its purpose and 0:51:16.239 --> 0:51:20.359 that's that and there's nothing else that they really need 0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:23.960 to spend any other time or energy on um. And 0:51:24.080 --> 0:51:27.520 it's just crazy, folks, It's just crazy. I mean, you 0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:31.680 know nothing in terms of finding out who wrote this thing. Uh, 0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:35.600 it is bizarre to me how self satisfied the media 0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:37.960 is with this whole thing. But you got to remember 0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:40.400 that that the New York Times and others they have 0:51:40.600 --> 0:51:44.239 to appeal to. What you could say is the Maxine 0:51:44.320 --> 0:51:49.080 Waters viewpoint, the Maxine Waters wing of the Democrat Party, 0:51:49.520 --> 0:51:53.040 And it sounds something like this play clip one. I 0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:54.879 wake up in the middle of the night, and all 0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:56.880 I can think about is I'm going to get him. 0:51:56.880 --> 0:52:00.560 This deployable, despicable human being that occupied as the White 0:52:00.600 --> 0:52:03.719 House should not be there. We should not be comfortable 0:52:03.760 --> 0:52:06.719 with it. We should not think about how somebody else 0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:09.040 is gonna deal with This is all of our fight. 0:52:09.640 --> 0:52:13.080 And every day I say I'm in this fight, they say, Maxine, 0:52:13.120 --> 0:52:16.440 please don't say impeachment anymore. And when they say that, 0:52:16.560 --> 0:52:26.240 I say, impeachment. Impeachment, impeachment, intenpeach. Someone who disrespects the Constitution, 0:52:26.680 --> 0:52:30.600 who disrespects human beings period, who's self centered, who does 0:52:30.680 --> 0:52:34.800 not care about the Constitution, who's alienated our allies, who's 0:52:34.840 --> 0:52:37.839 tied when booting won't condemn them in bed with the 0:52:37.880 --> 0:52:43.400 oligarchs of Russia. If you cannot talk about impeachment, given 0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:45.960 what we have learned about him and the way that 0:52:46.000 --> 0:52:50.000 he's defined himself. Then impeachment means nothing. Someone asked, but 0:52:50.120 --> 0:52:54.319 what about Pence? If you were able to impeach Pence 0:52:54.360 --> 0:52:56.959 will be worse? And I said, look one at a time. 0:52:57.280 --> 0:53:04.520 If God made the bet pas, well tell him. You know, 0:53:04.680 --> 0:53:07.320 she's she's not alone in this thinking, folks, that's a 0:53:07.360 --> 0:53:09.680 pretty all the things she said there. As much as 0:53:09.800 --> 0:53:11.520 I know you're here in maximum water, She's like, Buck, 0:53:11.520 --> 0:53:14.040 why are you making me listen to this again? Because 0:53:14.120 --> 0:53:18.040 it's it's a pretty good overview of what Democrat thinking 0:53:18.160 --> 0:53:20.840 is right now. They're not making some big case, but 0:53:20.960 --> 0:53:24.600 this in fact here, uh we got We got Obama 0:53:24.880 --> 0:53:29.600 himself saying that you know you better, you better bring 0:53:29.760 --> 0:53:34.759 back sanity to the country. Play clip two. There's a 0:53:34.800 --> 0:53:43.120 consequential moment in our history. Yeah, And the fact is that, uh, 0:53:43.680 --> 0:53:50.520 if we don't step up, things can't get worse. Where 0:53:50.600 --> 0:53:54.560 there's a vacuum in our democracy when we are not participating, 0:53:54.600 --> 0:53:56.920 we're not paying attention, when we're not stepping up. Other 0:53:57.040 --> 0:54:00.920 voices filled the board. But good news is in two 0:54:01.000 --> 0:54:04.520 months we have a chance to restore some sanity in 0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:09.319 our politics. What is insane exactly about our politics? Right? 0:54:09.360 --> 0:54:11.880 Now that that Trump tweets things about how Jim Acosta 0:54:12.400 --> 0:54:14.319 acts like a clown at the at the White House, 0:54:14.360 --> 0:54:18.040 I mean he does. What is there that is insane 0:54:18.280 --> 0:54:21.000 right now? I mean that's that's what is it? Insane? 0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:25.200 Like insanely awesome, bro, Like we've got the lowest unemployment rate. 0:54:25.280 --> 0:54:29.319 It's insane that they use these words and they're trying 0:54:29.400 --> 0:54:32.680 to scare people, and they can't really point to anything. 0:54:32.840 --> 0:54:38.600 I keep getting this this uh, repetitive series of talking 0:54:38.680 --> 0:54:41.920 points from people, including conservatives who hate Trump, which, as 0:54:41.960 --> 0:54:44.319 you know, there are a lot of them. Whether they're 0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:47.000 still conservatives or not, we can leave that discussion for 0:54:47.040 --> 0:54:49.200 another time. But they keep repeating the same things about 0:54:49.200 --> 0:54:50.920 you know, Trump said this or he said that, and 0:54:51.000 --> 0:54:52.279 I don't like this, and I like that, and I 0:54:52.360 --> 0:54:56.000 see it, and I say to myself, this should not 0:54:56.239 --> 0:54:58.680 matter to me. Why why do they think it's going 0:54:58.760 --> 0:55:02.360 to matter to me what they say about what Trump said. 0:55:03.600 --> 0:55:07.480 This is just punditry in place of policy. It's just 0:55:07.640 --> 0:55:12.839 offering up prognostications about the way the country is going 0:55:12.920 --> 0:55:15.960 about the future of the country without saying what the 0:55:16.040 --> 0:55:20.239 real nuts and bolts shortcomings are. And I sit here 0:55:20.320 --> 0:55:23.879 and I think to myself, well, okay, the same things, 0:55:23.960 --> 0:55:26.080 Like the country is insane right now? Country feels very 0:55:26.160 --> 0:55:28.840 sane to me. What because we've had a lot of 0:55:28.880 --> 0:55:32.640 departures in the White House, because Trump doesn't necessarily always 0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:35.040 bring in the best people. Maybe he sometimes puts too 0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:39.040 high a premium on loyalty over competence. Okay, nobody's perfect. 0:55:39.320 --> 0:55:41.440 I've never said Trump is perfect, and you know that 0:55:42.160 --> 0:55:43.880 I don't. I don't think he's perfect. I think he 0:55:44.360 --> 0:55:48.839 is for his time and what he's trying to accomplish remarkable. 0:55:49.480 --> 0:55:51.080 But that doesn't mean that I think everything he does 0:55:51.239 --> 0:55:54.879 is great. But I certainly don't think that he's crazy. Uh. 0:55:55.440 --> 0:55:57.879 That brings up the whole twenty fifmenment discussion. I don't 0:55:57.920 --> 0:56:01.280 buy that. I don't believe that our politics are insane 0:56:01.440 --> 0:56:03.520 right now. You know. I just think the Democrats really 0:56:03.560 --> 0:56:06.680 want to go back to an era when they could 0:56:07.360 --> 0:56:11.279 handle Republicans the way they handled Romney and McCain and uh, 0:56:11.480 --> 0:56:14.520 you know others before them, where it's just we're always 0:56:14.560 --> 0:56:18.839 on defense, we're always slowly losing, and they only say 0:56:18.960 --> 0:56:21.080 nice things about you while you're losing on an issue. 0:56:21.080 --> 0:56:24.200 And then once you've lost, They trash you again. That's 0:56:24.200 --> 0:56:27.320 how the Left deals with the Republicans. So uh, and 0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:29.480 that's not That's not the game that I think we 0:56:29.520 --> 0:56:31.240 should be playing. That's not the way that we should 0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:33.960 be involved here. We've got much more team. Stay with me. 0:56:34.640 --> 0:56:37.960 We will experience power atages. We will have infrastructure damage 0:56:38.400 --> 0:56:41.560 that will be homes damage, that will be uh, debris 0:56:41.640 --> 0:56:44.360 on the roads. Uh. This is a dangerous storm, the 0:56:44.480 --> 0:56:48.399 storm wheel and has the potential to uh cause loss 0:56:48.440 --> 0:56:53.000 of life, and we cannot you know, uh emphasize the 0:56:53.040 --> 0:56:58.399 importance to take action now. I've received a briefing from 0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:04.239 Secretary Nils and administrat along and my senior staff regarding 0:57:04.400 --> 0:57:09.200 Hurricane Florence and other tropical systems that will soon impact 0:57:09.239 --> 0:57:13.440 the United States and its territories. The safety of American 0:57:13.520 --> 0:57:19.080 people is my absolute highest priority. We are sparing no expense. 0:57:19.800 --> 0:57:23.840 We are totally prepared. We're ready. We're as ready as 0:57:23.840 --> 0:57:28.720 anybody's ever been. And it looks to me, and it 0:57:28.800 --> 0:57:31.680 looks to all of a lot of very talented people 0:57:31.760 --> 0:57:34.080 to do this for a living like this is going 0:57:34.200 --> 0:57:36.360 to be a storm that's going to be a very 0:57:36.480 --> 0:57:40.240 large one, far larger than we've seen in perhaps decades. 0:57:41.000 --> 0:57:44.360 I've spoken with the governors of South Carolina, North Carolina, 0:57:44.400 --> 0:57:48.320 and Virginia. They're prepared, We're prepared. We're working very well 0:57:48.560 --> 0:57:54.520 in conjunction with the governors. So you've got this category 0:57:54.760 --> 0:58:01.560 for hurricane Hurricane Florence that is likely to make landfall. 0:58:01.840 --> 0:58:04.479 What in the next forty eight hours or so, people 0:58:04.520 --> 0:58:08.720 are expecting massive flooding. I'm actually here in the path 0:58:08.840 --> 0:58:11.600 of this thing in the swamp in d C. Where 0:58:11.680 --> 0:58:13.800 I think flooding is going to be the primary concern. Mike, 0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:16.640 are we are we at the phase yet? Are people 0:58:16.680 --> 0:58:19.080 sure enough this is gonna be bad that you know, 0:58:19.160 --> 0:58:21.480 the whole foods all of a sudden is running out 0:58:21.520 --> 0:58:23.600 of you know, bread on the shelves kind of thing. 0:58:23.680 --> 0:58:25.400 Are you seeing any of that stuff? Yeah, that's what 0:58:25.440 --> 0:58:28.960 they're talent. Everybody, Um, it's it's get out now. It's um. 0:58:29.560 --> 0:58:32.040 You know, you have a great deal obviously, have great 0:58:32.080 --> 0:58:34.800 deal empathy r anybody in its pathway, but you know, 0:58:35.000 --> 0:58:38.960 everything on it is I'm seeing right now is get out. Well, right, 0:58:39.000 --> 0:58:40.840 that's if you're in the direct pathway. But I even 0:58:40.880 --> 0:58:43.160 mean for you know, people, something I remember in New 0:58:43.240 --> 0:58:46.040 York City some years ago, Remember there was Sandy, which 0:58:46.200 --> 0:58:48.440 was really but Sandy was really bad because of the flooding. 0:58:48.520 --> 0:58:51.520 The actual storm didn't seem because I was in Manhattan 0:58:51.560 --> 0:58:54.200 when that happened, didn't seem like it was quite that 0:58:54.520 --> 0:58:56.640 bad until you realize that the flooding and then the 0:58:56.680 --> 0:58:59.600 power outage that came from the flooding happened. UH in 0:58:59.720 --> 0:59:01.480 this want to I think they'll be flooding and it's 0:59:01.600 --> 0:59:04.720 the coast of the Carolina is is gonna get hammer 0:59:04.760 --> 0:59:06.760 But I assume the whole Eastern Seaboard is pretty much 0:59:06.760 --> 0:59:09.560 gonna turn into one big wet mess. Yeah, that's what 0:59:09.640 --> 0:59:12.960 it looks like. They said it's UH slowing down and 0:59:13.160 --> 0:59:16.920 that that could mean more rain droppage in UH on 0:59:16.960 --> 0:59:20.040 the entire Eastern seaboard. What's where where were you during Sandy? 0:59:20.560 --> 0:59:22.000 I was. I was here in New York. I was 0:59:22.080 --> 0:59:25.520 in UH, I was in Brooklyn and John, where were 0:59:25.560 --> 0:59:28.800 you during Sandy? I was at home here in New York. 0:59:28.880 --> 0:59:31.760 And did did you guys lose did you guys lose power? No? 0:59:31.960 --> 0:59:34.280 Not me, Yeah, I hadle I feel like I got 0:59:34.360 --> 0:59:37.280 out I escaped with nothing. I didn't lose power for 0:59:37.360 --> 0:59:39.520 a minute, and I didn't think it was that bad 0:59:39.640 --> 0:59:41.560 until I actually walked out. At the time, I lived 0:59:41.560 --> 0:59:44.480 near Prospect Park, and I'm I walked out the next 0:59:44.560 --> 0:59:47.240 day and it was like there was trees down everywhere. 0:59:47.600 --> 0:59:49.840 So I was in a building when that happened. I 0:59:49.920 --> 0:59:53.320 was a building in just north of Madison Square Park 0:59:54.040 --> 0:59:57.400 and and uh at the time, I was living just 0:59:57.680 --> 1:00:00.240 south of of Madison Square Park. But I was with 1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:02.880 a with a friend at the time, and uh, I 1:00:03.000 --> 1:00:04.439 was able to get up to the roof and see 1:00:04.480 --> 1:00:06.000 and at one point I remember going up there at 1:00:06.080 --> 1:00:09.240 night and you could see the whole southern part of 1:00:09.320 --> 1:00:13.520 Manhattan blacked out, and that was a really just an 1:00:13.680 --> 1:00:16.640 eerie thing to see. I remember at the time people 1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:18.880 were all like, well, you know, we know not how 1:00:18.920 --> 1:00:22.560 long this is gonna last. I mean, in the hindsight 1:00:22.640 --> 1:00:25.480 being everyone's like, well, you know, it wasn't gonna be 1:00:25.560 --> 1:00:27.360 that bad, and you know, they got the power back 1:00:27.440 --> 1:00:30.520 on pretty quickly. But when you have a big blackout 1:00:30.640 --> 1:00:32.960 like that in a city like New York City, it 1:00:33.200 --> 1:00:35.480 was it was pretty unnerving. Man. And I remember the 1:00:35.600 --> 1:00:38.360 next morning, the night after the or the morning after 1:00:38.440 --> 1:00:41.240 the storm, which you know, really hit hard at night uh, 1:00:41.720 --> 1:00:47.720 people were walking in droves. I mean just just people 1:00:47.800 --> 1:00:51.480 walking north in Manhattan looking on They're all in the 1:00:51.600 --> 1:00:54.200 street and it was like you could tell everybody had 1:00:54.240 --> 1:00:57.040 been through a rough night, and you know, uh, and 1:00:57.240 --> 1:00:59.240 it was because they were looking for a power outlet 1:00:59.280 --> 1:01:01.360 to plug their phone is into. Because you know, we 1:01:01.440 --> 1:01:03.919 just take this for granted now, but if you don't 1:01:03.960 --> 1:01:06.120 have access to your phone, right you think about your 1:01:06.200 --> 1:01:08.880 job and what you're going on, you feel very disconnected 1:01:08.880 --> 1:01:10.560 from everything that's going on. So all these people were 1:01:10.600 --> 1:01:12.960 just looking for outlets in the power zone to get 1:01:13.000 --> 1:01:16.280 to their phone. But I tell you, Mike and John, 1:01:16.360 --> 1:01:19.600 it's civilization hangs by a pretty thin thread. You see 1:01:19.680 --> 1:01:21.440 this in some of these in some of these disaster 1:01:21.560 --> 1:01:26.120 storm scenarios. Yeah. Absolutely, well anyway, but we hope that everybody, 1:01:26.640 --> 1:01:28.320 you know, is everyone's listening, as I know, we've got 1:01:28.320 --> 1:01:30.960 a lot of people in the Carolinas. Uh. So you know, 1:01:31.320 --> 1:01:34.439 if you're in a zone, please please, you know, heed 1:01:34.520 --> 1:01:36.680 the warning. It's it's always better to come back after 1:01:36.760 --> 1:01:40.160 the fact and feel like you know it was you 1:01:40.240 --> 1:01:43.120 were being overly cautious. I do remember, I forget what 1:01:43.200 --> 1:01:44.960 the storm was. Was another time when everybody in New 1:01:45.040 --> 1:01:47.200 York was filling their bathtubs full of watercause they thought 1:01:47.200 --> 1:01:49.960 we weren't gonna have any water. And that storm it 1:01:50.160 --> 1:01:52.000 wasn't sandy, it was a different storm. That storm was 1:01:52.720 --> 1:01:56.680 totally nothing. I mean, was that Irene? Yeah, John, you 1:01:56.680 --> 1:01:58.720 remember that, right? Every I mean, and there were stories 1:01:58.720 --> 1:02:01.680 about people getting into fight to grocery stores over food, 1:02:01.760 --> 1:02:04.520 and I mean, it was crazy and nothing happened. It's 1:02:04.600 --> 1:02:06.760 kind of amazing that the that at that stage and 1:02:06.840 --> 1:02:09.280 at that level of sophistication, the Weather Service could get 1:02:09.320 --> 1:02:12.600 something so wrong. But you know one thing that I 1:02:12.680 --> 1:02:14.720 found frustrating that I too, is you can tell there's 1:02:14.760 --> 1:02:19.520 some people that seemed to be uh waiting for this 1:02:19.800 --> 1:02:25.200 to turn into a a political political thing. You know, 1:02:25.560 --> 1:02:29.080 if this is they they've already tried to make. And 1:02:29.280 --> 1:02:31.960 I just had a team from the Hill come back 1:02:32.040 --> 1:02:34.960 from Puerto Rico where they were doing reporting on the 1:02:35.000 --> 1:02:38.400 ground there about the about the effort to rebuild, and 1:02:38.640 --> 1:02:40.840 the media was was trying to push to make Puerto 1:02:40.920 --> 1:02:44.680 Rico Trump's Katrina. That's been the big effort. That's been 1:02:44.720 --> 1:02:47.960 what they were saying all along. But I mean, I 1:02:48.080 --> 1:02:51.760 spoke to the one delegate from Puerto Rico. Remember they 1:02:51.840 --> 1:02:53.960 have somebody who's in Congress but doesn't have voting rights 1:02:54.000 --> 1:02:56.600 in Congress. I spoke to their delegate and she said, look, 1:02:57.240 --> 1:02:59.680 you know, it's not that we were Yes, it was 1:02:59.800 --> 1:03:02.800 terrorrble and the island was was really badly beat up 1:03:02.800 --> 1:03:04.720 and the relief efforts couldn't get to us fast enough. 1:03:04.760 --> 1:03:09.760 But it wasn't that there was any mouthfeasance or recklessness 1:03:09.800 --> 1:03:11.560 in the part of the government. It's that they were 1:03:11.600 --> 1:03:15.040 prepared for, you know, like a Category one or something, 1:03:15.120 --> 1:03:17.640 and it was a Category four. I mean it was 1:03:17.800 --> 1:03:21.240 they got hit really hard. Um, so so that was 1:03:21.560 --> 1:03:23.920 that was a big you know, there was no there 1:03:23.920 --> 1:03:25.440 you could tell they were setting up to make it. 1:03:25.520 --> 1:03:28.360 Oh well Trump Trump fell asleep on the job here. No, 1:03:28.640 --> 1:03:31.800 Actually they they had preparations they made on it just 1:03:31.920 --> 1:03:34.840 wasn't enough. The preparations weren't enough. So in this case, 1:03:35.280 --> 1:03:37.320 I think flooding is the big thing. Everyone's and flooding 1:03:37.360 --> 1:03:39.880 and high winds, I think, or what I'm seeing, everybody 1:03:39.920 --> 1:03:42.440 needs to be very careful and stay away from that stuff. 1:03:44.040 --> 1:03:45.720 That's my that's my sense of it. I wish I 1:03:45.800 --> 1:03:48.120 don't have much that And also you're gonna see a 1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:52.160 lot of discussion of how they sees about climate It's 1:03:52.200 --> 1:03:55.840 like clockwork. It's like it's climate change. And even if 1:03:55.880 --> 1:03:58.600 the storm doesn't, because it can change very quickly. And 1:03:58.960 --> 1:04:01.400 if we had somebody who act you understood, you know, 1:04:01.440 --> 1:04:04.439 atmospheric and oceanic pressure and all that stuff. I don't 1:04:04.440 --> 1:04:06.080 know about any of that stuff, they could explain to 1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:08.280 you how it happens. You know, once it makes landfall, 1:04:08.360 --> 1:04:10.320 the storm starts to run out of energy very quickly. 1:04:10.680 --> 1:04:13.000 But it could it could slow down considerably before then. 1:04:13.320 --> 1:04:15.920 But I guarantee you, just because there's so much attention 1:04:16.000 --> 1:04:18.680 on the issue right now, there will be people probably 1:04:18.760 --> 1:04:21.680 from vox dot com and others who jumped to see 1:04:22.400 --> 1:04:25.160 climate change. You know, once again it turns into a 1:04:25.200 --> 1:04:27.960 climate change story. It's it's always if if the storm 1:04:28.080 --> 1:04:30.760 is huge, it proves climate change. If the storm is 1:04:30.920 --> 1:04:33.480 not a big deal at all, well it's an opportunity 1:04:33.520 --> 1:04:35.919 to talk about how the next storm will be huge 1:04:36.000 --> 1:04:39.120 because of climate change. These people, it's their their belief 1:04:39.280 --> 1:04:41.720 because it is like a religious belief for them. It 1:04:42.040 --> 1:04:46.240 is unfalsifiable. They do not care what the you know, 1:04:46.440 --> 1:04:49.800 what's going to happen. And I am hearing, by the way, 1:04:49.880 --> 1:04:53.600 this is just gonna side that my sources here in 1:04:53.720 --> 1:04:56.680 d C. Are telling me that there's gonna be a 1:04:56.720 --> 1:04:59.040 big announcment from the White House that has to do 1:04:59.440 --> 1:05:05.400 with the UH classified information and the FISA requests and 1:05:05.480 --> 1:05:08.680 Carter Page. I'm hearing that this is gonna happen, and 1:05:08.920 --> 1:05:11.480 it's probably gonna happen next week. And one of the 1:05:11.560 --> 1:05:14.240 reasons that it has been put off is because President 1:05:14.320 --> 1:05:17.880 Trump wants to make sure that the focus right now 1:05:18.240 --> 1:05:21.720 is on this storm, that the federal government, all of 1:05:21.800 --> 1:05:24.439 its efforts that should be focused on the storm are 1:05:24.920 --> 1:05:28.160 and that nobody can make the claim that there was 1:05:28.200 --> 1:05:30.720 any kind of you know, taking taking an eye off 1:05:30.760 --> 1:05:34.600 the ball here. And because if the people, if there's 1:05:34.680 --> 1:05:38.120 misery and all that, they they will turn that immediately, 1:05:38.160 --> 1:05:40.919 no matter how much it's really Mother Nature's fault, they'll 1:05:40.960 --> 1:05:42.920 turn it into an opportunity to try to try to 1:05:42.960 --> 1:05:46.560 bash Trump. But but I I am hearing that you're 1:05:46.600 --> 1:05:50.560 gonna see a big announcement, a big release of information 1:05:50.760 --> 1:05:53.600 from the White House. And and look, this is kind 1:05:53.640 --> 1:05:58.360 of a a version of the October Surprise, but it's 1:05:58.400 --> 1:06:00.640 an October surprise from the good guy eyes. In this case, 1:06:00.720 --> 1:06:03.400 it would be that we would finally get the information 1:06:03.520 --> 1:06:09.200 that we need, finally get access to the data. Or 1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:12.240 in this case, I guess the words about what really 1:06:12.960 --> 1:06:16.760 was the basis for the fives A warn against Carter Page. 1:06:17.920 --> 1:06:19.959 If it's as bad as everyone I know is saying, 1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:22.240 if it's as bad as we have been led to believe, 1:06:23.600 --> 1:06:26.240 think about what this could do going into the mid terms. 1:06:26.280 --> 1:06:28.240 I mean, it would just prove to everybody that there 1:06:28.400 --> 1:06:31.320 was a very real effort to try and and take 1:06:31.360 --> 1:06:33.960 down the Trump administration. So anything that that is as 1:06:34.000 --> 1:06:36.560 it should be, that is taking a far back seat 1:06:36.680 --> 1:06:40.520 too right now to making sure everybody's safe and gets 1:06:40.520 --> 1:06:42.880 out of the path of this of of Hurricane Florence. 1:06:43.320 --> 1:06:44.640 By the way, if we if any of you are 1:06:44.680 --> 1:06:46.520 able to listen and call in tomorrow who are in 1:06:46.560 --> 1:06:48.240 the Carolina as we want to hear from you for sure, 1:06:48.320 --> 1:06:50.520 know how it's going, how you're doing. So we've got 1:06:50.560 --> 1:06:53.280 more show coming up. Team stay with me. You can't 1:06:53.320 --> 1:06:59.000 repeal history, and almost every election two years into any 1:06:59.040 --> 1:07:02.880 new administration, the party of the presidency loses seats. They 1:07:02.960 --> 1:07:07.760 don't always lose the body, but almost always loses seats, 1:07:08.720 --> 1:07:10.400 and so we know this is going to be a 1:07:10.520 --> 1:07:16.360 very challenging election on the Senate side. I'll just list 1:07:16.440 --> 1:07:23.480 you a bunch of races that are dead, even Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee, Montana, 1:07:23.760 --> 1:07:29.120 North Dakota, Missouri, Indiana, West Virginia, and Florida, all of 1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:33.560 them too close to call. And every one of them 1:07:33.800 --> 1:07:36.920 um like a knife fight in an alley. I mean, 1:07:37.040 --> 1:07:41.080 just a brawl in every one of those uh places. 1:07:42.040 --> 1:07:44.080 I hopen the smoke clears that will still have a 1:07:44.160 --> 1:07:46.040 majority in the Senate. And this is a really big 1:07:46.080 --> 1:07:47.560 one for the group. The n f IB is out 1:07:47.640 --> 1:07:50.480 with its monthly read on Optimism showing a new all 1:07:50.560 --> 1:07:52.880 time high for the month of August of one oh 1:07:52.960 --> 1:07:55.440 eight point eight. This is nearly a one point increase 1:07:55.480 --> 1:07:58.360 from last month. This also breaks the previous record of 1:07:58.440 --> 1:08:01.400 one oh eight set back in ninth three. This is 1:08:01.480 --> 1:08:04.200 optimism for the full year. It's holding well above The 1:08:04.280 --> 1:08:08.240 index is historical average of the biggest gains this month 1:08:08.280 --> 1:08:11.600 contributing to the jump or plans to increase inventories, plans 1:08:11.680 --> 1:08:16.000 to make capital outlays, and plans to increase employment. So 1:08:16.160 --> 1:08:20.920 someone needs to explain to the left. Dare I say 1:08:21.080 --> 1:08:25.600 to the haters out there, how it is that this 1:08:25.840 --> 1:08:30.200 is the quote Obama economy that we're enjoying right now. Meanwhile, 1:08:30.280 --> 1:08:34.000 we are setting records that stretched back to the Reagan 1:08:34.040 --> 1:08:39.960 administration on things like the Small Business Optimism Index. I 1:08:40.080 --> 1:08:41.880 need somebody to look me in the eye and explain 1:08:41.920 --> 1:08:45.200 to me why is it that we are setting all 1:08:45.280 --> 1:08:49.439 time records when it comes to unemployment in UH having 1:08:49.479 --> 1:08:52.760 such low unemployment in minority communities. Folks. They have no 1:08:52.960 --> 1:08:54.680 answer for this. You know, I didn't spend a lot 1:08:54.720 --> 1:08:57.400 of time today talking to you about the mid terms, 1:08:57.479 --> 1:09:00.320 because trust me, once we get into octope over, it's 1:09:00.320 --> 1:09:03.720 gonna be all the terms, all the time, at least 1:09:03.720 --> 1:09:05.200 in the news cycle. I mean, I'm not going to 1:09:05.280 --> 1:09:07.160 be like that. We got we got other things to 1:09:07.200 --> 1:09:10.920 focus on too. But they they have no answer on 1:09:10.960 --> 1:09:14.960 the economy. It's if there's any X factor here that 1:09:15.479 --> 1:09:18.560 could lead to a different, different end result in the 1:09:18.600 --> 1:09:20.280 mid terms. And what we've been led to believe, which 1:09:20.320 --> 1:09:24.720 is essentially that it's all over for UH. For Republicans 1:09:24.800 --> 1:09:27.200 in the House, that they're gonna lose the majority, no 1:09:27.439 --> 1:09:29.960 question about it, And and this is the way it's 1:09:29.960 --> 1:09:33.640 gonna go. Um. I just think that they have not 1:09:33.960 --> 1:09:36.400 made a compelling case the American people about this and 1:09:36.800 --> 1:09:40.360 and Trump hatred is just not enough. It's enough for 1:09:41.160 --> 1:09:45.040 the looney left, it's enough for people that just despise Trump, 1:09:45.160 --> 1:09:48.439 no matter, no matter what. But that's not enough of 1:09:48.520 --> 1:09:51.800 the country. You know, I saw these polls today. Oh 1:09:51.920 --> 1:09:55.080 my gosh, these poles are so they're they're so useless. 1:09:55.080 --> 1:09:57.400 This pull out about you know how thirty one percent 1:09:57.479 --> 1:10:01.720 of Americans think Trump is is honest. And I look 1:10:01.760 --> 1:10:03.600 at this and they do this with this whole ha ha, 1:10:03.960 --> 1:10:05.679 but look at this time, Trump didn't tell the truth. 1:10:05.720 --> 1:10:07.439 To look at that time, Trump didn't tell the truth. 1:10:08.080 --> 1:10:11.160 And this is just a waste of everyone's time. Because 1:10:11.200 --> 1:10:14.360 the people who think that Trump is honest mean that 1:10:14.479 --> 1:10:20.560 he's honest about what matters. Nobody is uh completely in 1:10:20.640 --> 1:10:25.360 the dark about how Trump has a braggadocious quality, how 1:10:25.479 --> 1:10:28.760 how he has perhaps a tad of a of a 1:10:29.000 --> 1:10:32.280 hyperbolic streak when he talks about things. He can be 1:10:32.680 --> 1:10:36.719 loose with language. We all get that, But the media 1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:39.600 runs these poles, They run these polls about things like 1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:42.360 you know what, not just your support for Trump, but also, 1:10:42.840 --> 1:10:45.240 you know, what do you think of Trump's trustworthiness and 1:10:45.320 --> 1:10:47.719 how do you think he's handling this issue or that issue. 1:10:48.280 --> 1:10:51.320 To try and put a number on their case, which 1:10:51.360 --> 1:10:53.000 is that Trump is unpopular and he's not doing a 1:10:53.040 --> 1:10:54.800 good job and all the rest of it, and it's 1:10:54.880 --> 1:10:57.439 just I think that it's not going to work the 1:10:57.479 --> 1:11:00.760 way they think it is. Um. My belief is that 1:11:01.000 --> 1:11:03.200 a lot of folks, especially if you're in the kind 1:11:03.240 --> 1:11:07.400 of now it's base midterms are all about base turnout. 1:11:07.439 --> 1:11:09.639 And I get all that stuff and the conventional wisdom, 1:11:10.240 --> 1:11:12.080 but if if anyone's showing up to the polls and 1:11:12.080 --> 1:11:14.680 they're like, you know, I haven't yet figured out, you know, 1:11:14.760 --> 1:11:19.280 if I'm happy with my particular representative or not, so 1:11:19.479 --> 1:11:22.200 I'm gonna vote party line, They're gonna look at what's 1:11:22.240 --> 1:11:23.840 going on in the country right now, and they're gonna 1:11:23.880 --> 1:11:26.280 find all these different reasons why the economy is so 1:11:26.520 --> 1:11:30.360 strong that probably worth just riding this out a little 1:11:30.360 --> 1:11:33.519 bit more. And I've been saying this. My my feeling 1:11:34.280 --> 1:11:41.080 is that Trump is essentially politically invulnerable unless or until 1:11:42.120 --> 1:11:45.280 there is a major recession. When we see a major 1:11:45.400 --> 1:11:47.639 pullback in the markets, when when all of a sudden 1:11:48.200 --> 1:11:52.360 people have a drop of the stock market, their four 1:11:52.400 --> 1:11:56.559 oh one case have gotten hammered, and you see a big, 1:11:56.680 --> 1:12:00.280 big push in or a big spike in unemployment, then 1:12:00.360 --> 1:12:02.479 a lot of these other criticisms matter, But things like 1:12:02.760 --> 1:12:06.040 do you think Trump is honest? I just don't believe 1:12:06.080 --> 1:12:09.240 the American people are going to focus in enough on 1:12:09.360 --> 1:12:12.240 that one that it makes any difference really in in 1:12:12.320 --> 1:12:15.920 the midterms. And and beyond that, you have each individual 1:12:16.040 --> 1:12:19.800 candidate running their own race. And the Democrats, I I 1:12:20.400 --> 1:12:24.400 can say this for them, they've at least noticed that 1:12:24.439 --> 1:12:28.160 they probably shouldn't run far left candidates in places like 1:12:29.280 --> 1:12:31.920 like Texas. They shouldn't run far left candidates in places 1:12:31.920 --> 1:12:34.360 where they're gonna have to work really hard to fool 1:12:34.560 --> 1:12:37.240 some Americans who are kind of in the center. And 1:12:37.280 --> 1:12:39.040 you think the Democrats in their center because they're not 1:12:39.160 --> 1:12:43.080 Democrats are party of of the extreme left now at 1:12:43.160 --> 1:12:46.639 least that's ideologically where they are, and they they vote 1:12:46.640 --> 1:12:50.120 in lockstep, folks. So just because somebody who's a Democrat 1:12:50.280 --> 1:12:51.960 shows up and starts saying, you know, well, I like 1:12:52.160 --> 1:12:55.240 guns and I like hunting, and you know, in some 1:12:55.360 --> 1:12:57.799 cases they'll say you know, I'm a veteran and you're like, Okay, 1:12:57.880 --> 1:13:00.280 well it sounds kind of Republican to me, but I 1:13:00.320 --> 1:13:02.479 guess you're a Democrat. I'll vote for you. Keep in 1:13:02.600 --> 1:13:06.240 mind that that Democrat who likes guns in the Second 1:13:06.280 --> 1:13:10.280 Amendment and is pro union and likes the military is 1:13:10.320 --> 1:13:13.640 going to vote with Nancy Pelosi on basically everything. So 1:13:14.120 --> 1:13:16.080 that's what people need to remember. That that that's the 1:13:16.120 --> 1:13:17.800 message that has to get that has to get through. 1:13:18.640 --> 1:13:20.599 By the coming up, we've got a great third hour. 1:13:20.640 --> 1:13:23.920 I'm gonna talk to you about the Jack Ryan series 1:13:23.960 --> 1:13:26.640 on Amazon. I watched the whole season. I ripped through it. 1:13:26.720 --> 1:13:29.360 Molly and I watched it together. And then we'll have 1:13:30.040 --> 1:13:35.040 right after that, a a real door kicking superhero. Sean 1:13:35.400 --> 1:13:37.720 Parnell will be joining us. A. Sean Parnell has got 1:13:37.760 --> 1:13:39.160 a new book out. We'll talk to about that and 1:13:39.320 --> 1:13:41.759 just spend some time hanging with Sean because we always 1:13:41.800 --> 1:13:43.760 like it when he comes by the Freedom Hut. And 1:13:44.240 --> 1:13:46.599 then how do they Miss America pageant work out without 1:13:46.880 --> 1:13:51.040 the swimsuit competition. I'm gonna do a very thorough, deep 1:13:51.120 --> 1:13:56.280 dive analysis of the no swimsuit Miss America situation coming up. 1:13:57.200 --> 1:14:03.200 Buck Sexton decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. 1:14:05.400 --> 1:14:08.960 Magnor mistake, American ring, You're a great American again. This 1:14:09.680 --> 1:14:18.920 is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts Sexton, No, I can't 1:14:18.960 --> 1:14:21.559 go to Yemen. I'm an analyst. I don't interrogate people. 1:14:21.640 --> 1:14:28.800 I write reports. Get on the plane. We gotta figure 1:14:28.800 --> 1:14:30.519 out a way to get inside of his head. Must 1:14:30.560 --> 1:14:32.840 have been slay man. Is my husband? He don't know 1:14:32.880 --> 1:14:35.920 where I am. My son is with him. Is he 1:14:36.040 --> 1:14:41.639 planning something here? Harry, it was only at the beginning. 1:14:44.600 --> 1:14:50.600 Just follow him all watch to learn. We have to 1:14:50.720 --> 1:15:02.680 chase this down, my son, get him back. Prom I 1:15:02.760 --> 1:15:06.400 can't go to Yemen. I'm an analyst. I write reports. Ah, Yes, 1:15:07.360 --> 1:15:12.320 brings back memories. So that's from the new Jack Ryan 1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:15.360 series on Amazon Prime, which many of you have been 1:15:15.400 --> 1:15:18.599 asking me about, brought to my attention and emailing about 1:15:18.720 --> 1:15:22.000 and such, And I gotta tell you that I like it. 1:15:22.880 --> 1:15:24.560 I think it's good. I think that they did a 1:15:24.600 --> 1:15:29.080 good job. There's some stuff that's a little perfunctory, and 1:15:30.280 --> 1:15:32.479 the writing is a little too cute in some places. 1:15:32.600 --> 1:15:35.920 In terms of the storyline, I'll give you my my 1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:39.880 full sense of it. I mean, it's entertaining, it's well done, 1:15:40.040 --> 1:15:43.400 the production values are good. It moves quickly, so I 1:15:43.520 --> 1:15:46.880 really like it. I'll probably give it an a minus. Uh. 1:15:47.080 --> 1:15:50.360 The language that they use and the terminology and the 1:15:50.439 --> 1:15:53.240 way they talk about things, a lot of the uh, 1:15:53.280 --> 1:15:56.599 the different acronyms that come up. They did their research. 1:15:57.080 --> 1:16:01.960 They actually use real lingo and and look, not all 1:16:02.000 --> 1:16:03.720 of it, but but a fair amount of it, which 1:16:03.760 --> 1:16:06.080 I like because it's just laziness for a lot of writers, 1:16:06.280 --> 1:16:10.320 a lot of writers otherwise. And I like the scene 1:16:10.320 --> 1:16:12.800 where he says we're not agents, were officers, meaning you 1:16:12.840 --> 1:16:15.760 know people say CIA agent. That's always the big tell 1:16:15.880 --> 1:16:18.760 for us, especially when somebody says, you know, well my 1:16:19.040 --> 1:16:21.760 my uncle was a former CIA agent. It's like, well, 1:16:22.200 --> 1:16:24.040 if you really knew him, and if he really was one, 1:16:24.080 --> 1:16:26.000 he would have told you. It's c I a officer. 1:16:26.520 --> 1:16:29.280 It is. It is not a you're a CIA agent 1:16:29.760 --> 1:16:34.799 if you're an an asset being run by a CIA officer, 1:16:34.960 --> 1:16:38.880 a one who works for a CI officer in getting 1:16:39.040 --> 1:16:44.439 espionage information. So you know that that's an important distinction 1:16:44.479 --> 1:16:45.640 that make I mean, there's a lot of things that 1:16:45.720 --> 1:16:50.480 are good look, John John Krasinski is a very charismatic 1:16:50.600 --> 1:16:52.639 leading guy. Who would have thought Jim from the Office, 1:16:52.680 --> 1:16:54.760 you know, you put on twenty pounds of muscle, and uh, 1:16:55.000 --> 1:16:56.599 all of a sudden, he's an action here. It's kind 1:16:56.640 --> 1:16:59.000 of like the other guy that I really like from 1:16:59.120 --> 1:17:03.280 Parks and Wreck, who also what's his name, Pratt, Chris Pratt, 1:17:03.400 --> 1:17:05.720 who put on a whole bunch of muscle and now 1:17:05.800 --> 1:17:08.639 he's an action star too. Man. I wish I could 1:17:08.680 --> 1:17:12.439 take off six months and just just work out, eat 1:17:12.520 --> 1:17:16.080 chicken breast and cruciferous vegetables all day and then just 1:17:16.120 --> 1:17:17.760 see what happens. That'd be fun. But I don't think 1:17:17.760 --> 1:17:20.200 I've got that in the schedule anytime soon. I barely 1:17:20.240 --> 1:17:23.200 have time to sleep. But Jack Ryan back the show. 1:17:23.320 --> 1:17:25.840 Some of the things I like. It's contemporary, so it's 1:17:25.880 --> 1:17:29.720 kind of the Jack Ryan architecture set up by Tom 1:17:29.800 --> 1:17:33.799 Clancy in terms of characters and basic storyline. Fast forwardage 1:17:33.800 --> 1:17:37.439 it today, so you've got Isis and Syria and Yemen 1:17:37.680 --> 1:17:41.679 and the Muslim suburbs of Paris, and you know, there's 1:17:41.720 --> 1:17:43.320 just there's a lot of stuff they work in it 1:17:43.439 --> 1:17:45.600 that's good. There's some good footage of Langley and it 1:17:47.000 --> 1:17:50.479 I like that, Uh Krasinski lives in Georgetown. Look, I 1:17:50.720 --> 1:17:52.800 can't help but feel a little nostalgic. I watched this 1:17:52.880 --> 1:17:56.519 show and it's about a C I a analyst, and 1:17:57.680 --> 1:18:00.639 he lives in Georgetown, and he works on Mid East issues, 1:18:00.800 --> 1:18:02.200 and I think at one point he walks into the 1:18:02.240 --> 1:18:05.839 CTC he's working with CTC. Well, I was a CIA 1:18:06.000 --> 1:18:11.200 analyst in CTC who lived in Georgetown. So now I 1:18:11.320 --> 1:18:14.960 did not get air lifted by the Coast Guard from 1:18:14.960 --> 1:18:18.320 a fancy party on the Maryland shore in front of 1:18:18.439 --> 1:18:21.600 my soon to be girlfriend. Nothing that cool happened to me. 1:18:22.400 --> 1:18:25.000 But I was in the room in some big briefing 1:18:25.120 --> 1:18:28.920 rooms full of a lot of big han schos at 1:18:29.000 --> 1:18:32.880 the in the intelligence community. Overall, I did sit down 1:18:33.000 --> 1:18:38.080 with director Mike Hayden at different times and and brief 1:18:38.160 --> 1:18:40.160 him on things and so so just it brought back 1:18:40.240 --> 1:18:43.120 some memories. Um, I would really be curious to hear 1:18:43.240 --> 1:18:47.120 from some friends in the special operations community what they 1:18:47.240 --> 1:18:51.640 think of the scenes where they use Jaysack guys or 1:18:51.800 --> 1:18:55.479 when they are playing Jaysack guys. I should say, Uh, 1:18:55.600 --> 1:18:59.600 to do different raids and the military component of it, 1:19:00.040 --> 1:19:02.760 I mean, on the if I'm going to analyze how 1:19:03.160 --> 1:19:07.000 realistic the analyst stuff is, the basics of it are correct, 1:19:07.080 --> 1:19:10.120 and that yeah, you look at you know, look at 1:19:10.160 --> 1:19:12.760 phone records and email records, and it's a lot of 1:19:12.880 --> 1:19:16.639 investigative work. Uh. It does not move, of course, anywhere 1:19:16.800 --> 1:19:19.160 near the universe of his you know, as quickly as 1:19:19.160 --> 1:19:20.880 it does in the show. Krasinski sits there and he goes, 1:19:21.200 --> 1:19:22.519 you know what, and he all of a sudden just 1:19:22.640 --> 1:19:25.280 knows the whole plan and would look, you gotta suspend 1:19:25.320 --> 1:19:27.200 disbelief with these things. If they made a show about 1:19:27.240 --> 1:19:29.839 being a CI analyst that was real, it would involve 1:19:30.000 --> 1:19:34.880 a lot of uh, long arduous treks to the Starbucks. 1:19:35.280 --> 1:19:37.240 You know, it's not what people think that it is. 1:19:37.479 --> 1:19:40.720 There's some other cool stuff, you know, there's some undisclosed 1:19:40.760 --> 1:19:43.439 locations and things where you get to do some really 1:19:43.960 --> 1:19:48.519 interesting training and other stuff. But you know, overall, I 1:19:48.600 --> 1:19:50.679 think that it's it's a good series, a good show. 1:19:50.720 --> 1:19:52.000 And here's the big part of it, the part of 1:19:52.040 --> 1:19:53.080 it that I think a lot of you will really 1:19:53.120 --> 1:19:56.640 like if you haven't seen it already. Uh, it was 1:19:56.800 --> 1:19:59.880 advertised to me because I saw this making the rounds 1:19:59.880 --> 1:20:03.280 on social media as oh, this is a show that 1:20:03.400 --> 1:20:09.000 celebrates toxic masculinity and white male privilege, and I was like, sold, 1:20:09.800 --> 1:20:12.439 sign me up. This sounds great. You know, we're not 1:20:12.520 --> 1:20:16.280 gonna have to watch a show that is constantly jamming 1:20:16.360 --> 1:20:18.960 some kind of an agenda down our throats. You know, 1:20:19.040 --> 1:20:23.840 I really don't need a show about a a a 1:20:24.160 --> 1:20:30.360 tri sexual uh you know, non gender binary Eskimo who 1:20:30.800 --> 1:20:35.400 I'm sorry Inuit who happens to be a super special 1:20:35.520 --> 1:20:38.080 covert agent or something who also knows lots of karate. 1:20:38.920 --> 1:20:41.760 I don't need that. I just want I just want 1:20:41.800 --> 1:20:47.040 good characters. And I also would like the recognition of 1:20:47.240 --> 1:20:49.519 the reality that America is in right now, which is 1:20:49.560 --> 1:20:53.160 that some of our most dangerous and implacable foes are 1:20:53.200 --> 1:20:57.200 in fact jihadists. That doesn't mean that we're at war 1:20:57.320 --> 1:21:00.200 with the Muslim world. All that stuff still applies of worse. 1:21:00.280 --> 1:21:03.320 It's it's embarrassing that we feel the need to say that. 1:21:03.439 --> 1:21:05.880 But you know, if media Matters is listening to this, 1:21:06.000 --> 1:21:08.920 I gotta make sure that I cover myself because we 1:21:09.000 --> 1:21:11.519 all know that already, and we have many Muslim allies 1:21:11.600 --> 1:21:14.200 in that fight. But you know, radical Islam is a 1:21:14.280 --> 1:21:16.280 real threat or real danger to us, and at least 1:21:16.360 --> 1:21:19.000 so far, in this show on Amazon Prime, The Jack 1:21:19.160 --> 1:21:23.360 Ryan Show, they do not uh go down the road 1:21:23.439 --> 1:21:27.240 of well, the real threat isn't gee hottests, it's you know, 1:21:27.400 --> 1:21:30.320 white nationalists who have overtaken the US government or something. 1:21:30.439 --> 1:21:33.280 It's you see so much of this from Hollywood, and 1:21:33.479 --> 1:21:36.240 it's just annoying and it doesn't resonate with us because 1:21:36.320 --> 1:21:40.439 when you're worried about a biochem weapon going off, biological 1:21:40.560 --> 1:21:43.560 chemical weapon going off somewhere, the chances are that you 1:21:43.600 --> 1:21:45.200 think it's gonna be from a guy who's gonna yell 1:21:45.240 --> 1:21:47.439 a lahaak bar right before he detonates it. That's just 1:21:47.600 --> 1:21:51.640 reality and our arch in this case, you know, our 1:21:51.800 --> 1:21:54.200 entertainment with a show like this should reflect at some 1:21:54.400 --> 1:21:57.560 level what are our reality is. It just makes it 1:21:57.760 --> 1:22:00.920 much more interesting and enjoyable experience. By the way that 1:22:01.000 --> 1:22:04.040 the character who's kind of the the well he's really 1:22:04.080 --> 1:22:06.719 a supervisor's gonna say the right hand. But the buddy 1:22:06.840 --> 1:22:09.160 cop element of the show, and it's obviously a c 1:22:09.280 --> 1:22:12.439 I A show, not a cop show, but that actor 1:22:12.560 --> 1:22:17.520 who plays he's the the black uh kind of grizzled 1:22:17.720 --> 1:22:24.040 veteran supervisor of Krazinski's character is Bunk from the Wire 1:22:24.200 --> 1:22:25.679 for those of you who are fans of the Wire. 1:22:25.840 --> 1:22:28.439 So that's kind of fun for me because I really 1:22:28.560 --> 1:22:30.639 enjoyed that show. But you know, the Jack Ryan Show 1:22:30.720 --> 1:22:32.280 is good and it's just going to it just goes 1:22:32.320 --> 1:22:35.879 to show folks with all of the different espionage thrillers 1:22:35.960 --> 1:22:39.559 and all that, you know, you just need a story 1:22:40.320 --> 1:22:43.439 that is compelling with good characters, where there's good guys 1:22:43.520 --> 1:22:47.439 and bad guys and stuff happens and you care it doesn't. 1:22:47.439 --> 1:22:49.760 You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You just have 1:22:49.960 --> 1:22:55.080 to execute on the straightforward aspects, on on the straightforward 1:22:55.479 --> 1:22:58.680 elements of good story and good storytelling. And I think 1:22:58.720 --> 1:23:00.599 that the Amazon Prime show Pretty which does that. If 1:23:00.600 --> 1:23:03.080 you have any specific questions, by the way, about something 1:23:03.160 --> 1:23:05.439 that you think is well, if you want to ask 1:23:05.479 --> 1:23:08.120 me if something is real or how you know, I'm 1:23:08.160 --> 1:23:10.400 happy to tell you you know my my sense of it. 1:23:11.360 --> 1:23:13.720 But just understand this. You would not go from being 1:23:13.800 --> 1:23:17.720 analyst to field operative to which they referred to as 1:23:17.760 --> 1:23:22.240 case officers, which is the proper terminology to UH interrogator 1:23:22.800 --> 1:23:26.400 back to and then essentially door kicker you know, no, no, no, 1:23:26.880 --> 1:23:28.600 it doesn't work that way. That's you don't get to 1:23:28.640 --> 1:23:30.720 cover all that ground. But if you have any other 1:23:30.840 --> 1:23:32.920 questions about it, if I can answer it, I will. 1:23:33.000 --> 1:23:34.360 If I can, I'll just tell you you can another 1:23:34.439 --> 1:23:37.320 confirm nor deny. But I will recommend that any of 1:23:37.400 --> 1:23:39.000 you that have the chance, if you if you have 1:23:39.120 --> 1:23:41.840 Amazon Prime, or if you thought about watching it, two 1:23:41.960 --> 1:23:44.719 thumbs way up. I really thought it was a good series. 1:23:44.760 --> 1:23:46.360 I'm looking forward to the next I hope they make 1:23:46.400 --> 1:23:49.879 the next season of it. Krasinski was was pretty excellent. 1:23:49.920 --> 1:23:52.640 I thought, you know, he's a very charming actor. And 1:23:53.000 --> 1:23:56.920 I okay, now my one criticism. I don't know her name, 1:23:57.479 --> 1:23:59.880 but I don't like the female lead. I just don't. 1:24:00.040 --> 1:24:02.760 I think she's a little I don't know, there's something 1:24:02.880 --> 1:24:05.800 vaguely European about maybe she's a European actress. But it's 1:24:05.800 --> 1:24:09.000 just it doesn't strike me as a good I don't 1:24:09.040 --> 1:24:12.439 like the chemistry between the two leads. It just didn't 1:24:12.439 --> 1:24:13.880 work for me. It just didn't work for me. But 1:24:14.000 --> 1:24:18.080 I'm I'm very picky about these things. You always did, 1:24:18.120 --> 1:24:22.519 you always do this? Yeah, back everybody, we we got 1:24:22.600 --> 1:24:24.439 with us a special guest. I wanted to get him, 1:24:24.560 --> 1:24:27.040 you know, on the hot seat right away. We have 1:24:27.320 --> 1:24:31.479 with us the one, the only, Sean Parnell. Everybody you know, 1:24:31.640 --> 1:24:34.920 we all love Sean. Sean is a former army ranger, 1:24:35.400 --> 1:24:38.040 author of one of my favorite and I'm gonna give 1:24:38.120 --> 1:24:39.880 him a swelled head. Although he doesn't need any help 1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:42.960 today because everyone's just everyone just wants to tell Sean 1:24:43.040 --> 1:24:45.519 how awesome he is. But one of my favorite military 1:24:45.600 --> 1:24:48.280 memoirs of all time, which is Outlaw Platoon, which I 1:24:48.360 --> 1:24:51.160 have read cover to cover where I guess kindall start 1:24:51.200 --> 1:24:54.120 to finish. Uh. He's the author of Outlaw Platoon, but 1:24:54.120 --> 1:24:55.800 he has a new book and we are lucky enough 1:24:55.840 --> 1:24:58.519 to have him joining us today to discuss it, A 1:24:58.840 --> 1:25:02.280 Man of War, which is a novel and and we're 1:25:02.320 --> 1:25:04.120 have shown on Shawn. Great great to have you. I 1:25:04.200 --> 1:25:06.000 just want to ask you first, what's it like to 1:25:06.080 --> 1:25:09.479 basically have all of all of the elite news media 1:25:10.280 --> 1:25:12.160 fight over your time and want to talk to you 1:25:12.160 --> 1:25:14.880 about your novel? You realize, how you realize how rare 1:25:14.960 --> 1:25:18.160 this is. That's not a thing, that's not that's I 1:25:18.360 --> 1:25:21.280 don't I don't know why people are like me or 1:25:21.400 --> 1:25:23.800 support me but that's not in your exaggerating. That's not 1:25:24.240 --> 1:25:28.600 famous famous news anchors and and correspondence and multi millionaires 1:25:28.640 --> 1:25:31.160 are like, I need me some Sean Parnell. I want 1:25:31.160 --> 1:25:33.400 to talk about I want to talk about man of war. 1:25:33.960 --> 1:25:36.400 So so let's let's do that for a moment before 1:25:36.439 --> 1:25:40.560 we get into the latest of of of your exploits 1:25:40.600 --> 1:25:42.760 out on the West Coast and and selling the rights 1:25:42.840 --> 1:25:45.000 the movie rights to all this tell us a bit 1:25:45.080 --> 1:25:47.920 Sean about man of war. Yeah, okay, so a man 1:25:48.040 --> 1:25:50.880 of war. You know, I joined to serve the military 1:25:51.360 --> 1:25:53.760 after nine eleven, you know, and I was inspired to 1:25:54.000 --> 1:25:57.400 join the military after witnessing the sacrifice of so many 1:25:57.479 --> 1:25:59.880 great Americans who, instead of running away from the flames, 1:26:00.080 --> 1:26:01.880 ran into the flames to try to say people that 1:26:01.960 --> 1:26:04.920 they didn't even know. And you know, I remember sitting there. 1:26:04.920 --> 1:26:06.560 I was a college kid, and I remember nursing. I 1:26:06.600 --> 1:26:09.800 was nursing a pretty terrible hangover that morning, um, and 1:26:09.840 --> 1:26:11.640 I just remember thinking, how can I sit here and 1:26:11.760 --> 1:26:16.360 do nothing when ordinary Americans are sacrificing everything in many 1:26:16.439 --> 1:26:19.960 cases for people that they didn't even know. And so 1:26:21.280 --> 1:26:25.080 that in that moment, I decided to serve my country. 1:26:25.200 --> 1:26:26.519 You know. I mean, I think all of us are 1:26:26.600 --> 1:26:29.360 presented with moments in our life where we have such 1:26:29.439 --> 1:26:32.800 tremendous clarity. In the wake of the most horrific terrorist 1:26:32.800 --> 1:26:35.360 attack on our nation's history, that I had clarity, and 1:26:35.400 --> 1:26:37.679 it was, you know, I wanted to join the military service, 1:26:37.720 --> 1:26:40.360 something greater than myself, getting the fight against the people 1:26:40.400 --> 1:26:42.160 that attacked us on September eleven, and be on the 1:26:42.200 --> 1:26:44.680 front lines. And I got my opportunity to do that. 1:26:44.840 --> 1:26:46.920 I went to war for four five days, and I 1:26:47.000 --> 1:26:50.360 came back. A lot of my guys were wounded, some 1:26:50.560 --> 1:26:54.080 of which came home in body bags and flag drape coffins. 1:26:54.120 --> 1:26:56.080 And I remember there was a one profound moment where 1:26:56.120 --> 1:26:59.599 I was I was reflecting on uh, looking at one 1:26:59.640 --> 1:27:01.439 of the waves of my soldiers, and I said, you 1:27:01.520 --> 1:27:04.320 know what, like I have got to live a life 1:27:04.320 --> 1:27:07.840 worthy of their sacrifice and earn it every single day. 1:27:08.439 --> 1:27:10.400 And so writing a novel for me was always a 1:27:10.439 --> 1:27:13.200 bucket list item. But one of the things that that 1:27:13.320 --> 1:27:15.960 I wanted to make sure that I that came through 1:27:16.080 --> 1:27:20.000 in this book was making sure that my main character, 1:27:20.320 --> 1:27:23.519 Eric Steele, embodied the greatness of what it means to 1:27:23.560 --> 1:27:26.679 be an American and the greatness of the American warrior ethos, 1:27:26.920 --> 1:27:33.480 and you know the selflessness, uh, the heroism, the the loyalty, 1:27:33.720 --> 1:27:36.240 the duty, respect and honor that every single person that 1:27:36.360 --> 1:27:38.360 ran into the flames that day on nine eleven exhibited. 1:27:38.400 --> 1:27:40.720 I wanted to make sure it was crammed all in 1:27:41.120 --> 1:27:43.400 my main character. And Eric Steele is that guy. He's 1:27:43.439 --> 1:27:46.360 the main character and man of war. He's a franchise character. 1:27:46.439 --> 1:27:49.280 You'll see a book from him every year, but he 1:27:49.600 --> 1:27:53.479 is a mainstream fiction character that loves America uh and 1:27:53.640 --> 1:27:56.400 believes it's worth fighting for and worth dying for. Because 1:27:56.439 --> 1:27:58.560 I just I think it's important that our kids have 1:27:58.720 --> 1:28:01.080 mainstream fiction character to look up to in this country 1:28:01.080 --> 1:28:03.680 and inspire to be like. Well, I just hope that 1:28:04.040 --> 1:28:09.520 in Eric Steele's uh trials and travails or and travels 1:28:09.560 --> 1:28:12.040 and tribulations. I don't know why something over this world 1:28:12.080 --> 1:28:15.639 always with the words words. If you have any any 1:28:15.760 --> 1:28:20.040 room for a a a cynical CIA analyst named Buck Sexton, 1:28:20.479 --> 1:28:22.840 you throw him in there, baby, Because if Eric Steele, 1:28:23.200 --> 1:28:24.960 if he needs somebody to tell him, we're the best 1:28:25.000 --> 1:28:27.800 places to get a latte in South Asia, let me 1:28:27.880 --> 1:28:31.120 tell you Cia analyst Buck has got at steals back. 1:28:31.200 --> 1:28:33.080 Hey man, you know what, you know, I think I 1:28:33.160 --> 1:28:34.760 might be able to make that happen in book two. 1:28:35.040 --> 1:28:36.519 I think I might. I think I might. I think 1:28:36.560 --> 1:28:37.800 I can do it. You know, one of the one 1:28:37.800 --> 1:28:39.600 of the main characters in my book tease me, this 1:28:39.680 --> 1:28:41.439 is like offering the name your first born after me. 1:28:44.360 --> 1:28:47.160 It's not that it's not like that, but I think 1:28:47.200 --> 1:28:49.680 it's Actually that's a pretty awesome idea, you know. So 1:28:50.040 --> 1:28:51.600 one of my main characters in this book is an 1:28:51.720 --> 1:28:55.120 x CIA analyst. It's it's a woman. She's a female protagonist, 1:28:55.200 --> 1:28:57.760 and she is she is just she's awesome in every way. 1:28:58.600 --> 1:29:00.240 But I think that there could be a very easy 1:29:00.320 --> 1:29:04.280 way to tie Buck the CIA analyst into the story. 1:29:04.840 --> 1:29:07.759 And he's gonna have a big head, you know, physically 1:29:07.880 --> 1:29:11.639 physically big head. Uh. And he's gonna be a little 1:29:11.680 --> 1:29:14.800 dorky with a really deep, awesome radio voice exactly. And 1:29:14.920 --> 1:29:17.559 by the way, when when they don't have a charge 1:29:17.640 --> 1:29:20.000 to do a breach properly, they can just use that 1:29:20.120 --> 1:29:23.679 head like Bonk from Bonk's Adventure, just knock that puppied 1:29:23.760 --> 1:29:26.439 right down. Man. That's that's what it's like. A battering Ramma. 1:29:26.560 --> 1:29:29.920 Who needs to ballistic breach? Who needs C four when 1:29:30.000 --> 1:29:33.280 they have Buck Sexton's head exactly, That's all you need. 1:29:33.720 --> 1:29:35.720 So so A Man of War is out today. People 1:29:35.760 --> 1:29:37.920 can get it on Amazon, they can get it on Kindle. 1:29:38.800 --> 1:29:40.439 What's some of the stuff you got planned? By the way, 1:29:40.439 --> 1:29:42.599 because you know you're you're getting I really do mean 1:29:42.680 --> 1:29:45.479 this man. So few people get other people to be 1:29:45.640 --> 1:29:47.360 happy for them when they have a book that comes 1:29:47.360 --> 1:29:48.920 out or something in the way that I'm seeing with you, 1:29:49.360 --> 1:29:52.640 people just want your book to succeed. Sean Parnell, what 1:29:52.720 --> 1:29:54.280 are you gonna run for office? By the way, Never 1:29:54.439 --> 1:29:57.120 love Sean, never, but never. But I'll tell you, I'll 1:29:57.160 --> 1:30:00.200 tell you. You know, I think they're There's so thing 1:30:00.280 --> 1:30:04.599 in this in this literary world or a public figure world, 1:30:04.760 --> 1:30:07.880 where it's a zero sum game for a lot of people, 1:30:08.040 --> 1:30:11.360 like the idea that just because you know Buck Sexton 1:30:11.479 --> 1:30:14.120 is successful, it means that I can't be successful. And 1:30:14.200 --> 1:30:15.320 so a lot of people in the media and a 1:30:15.360 --> 1:30:17.120 lot of people in the literary world in public figure 1:30:17.160 --> 1:30:19.960 space are constantly trying to cut your knees out from 1:30:20.040 --> 1:30:22.000 under you to make sure that they're that they climb 1:30:22.080 --> 1:30:24.640 that ladder first, and and I'm here to tell you 1:30:24.720 --> 1:30:27.800 that I I have a very different view on that. 1:30:28.240 --> 1:30:31.160 I'm a I believe that you know, a rising tide 1:30:31.240 --> 1:30:34.000 lifts all ships. If and you know, a guy that 1:30:34.160 --> 1:30:36.920 buys Brad Thor's thriller does not mean that he's not 1:30:37.080 --> 1:30:40.120 going to buy my thriller. And my experience with Brad 1:30:40.200 --> 1:30:44.040 Thor is that he's actually always a very generous right right. 1:30:44.240 --> 1:30:46.840 And I'm just saying though, Buck, but I know that's 1:30:46.880 --> 1:30:50.559 why your mind went because he's amazing. Actually, in fact, 1:30:50.600 --> 1:30:53.000 I try to structure and write my stories just like 1:30:53.080 --> 1:30:55.160 Brad does because he's been such an inspiration to me. 1:30:55.320 --> 1:30:58.400 But but like the in fact, my point was, Buck, 1:30:58.479 --> 1:31:00.800 is that like if someone buys Brad Thor's book and 1:31:00.800 --> 1:31:03.040 reads Brad Thor's book, it makes it more likely for 1:31:03.160 --> 1:31:05.879 them to buy my book. So there's no need to compete. 1:31:05.920 --> 1:31:08.160 This is not a zero sum game. A rising tide 1:31:08.240 --> 1:31:10.320 lifts all ships. And so for the last six years 1:31:10.320 --> 1:31:13.320 since Outlaw Between came out book, I have really dedicated 1:31:13.400 --> 1:31:15.400 my life to try to help people to get their 1:31:15.439 --> 1:31:18.519 stories told, lend a helping hand anywhere that I can, 1:31:19.080 --> 1:31:22.360 And so I hope that The support that I'm receiving 1:31:22.439 --> 1:31:25.280 right now and Man of War from some mainstream media 1:31:25.320 --> 1:31:29.400 outlets and people comes from them recognizing that and and 1:31:29.479 --> 1:31:31.479 the help that I've given. When you're when you're rolling 1:31:31.560 --> 1:31:35.280 down Sunset Boulevard out in l a In in a Lamborghini, 1:31:35.720 --> 1:31:38.400 I just want you to remember when Man of War 1:31:38.640 --> 1:31:42.360 is going into season three of syndication uh with Netflix, 1:31:42.840 --> 1:31:45.720 just remember who your friends were shot early days. You 1:31:45.760 --> 1:31:48.560 can hook us up with a consulting gig to be 1:31:48.720 --> 1:31:52.280 on set to look cool for our significant others than 1:31:52.360 --> 1:31:54.200 whoever else is there. Let's be come on, you know 1:31:54.240 --> 1:31:56.479 I'm gonna be rolling down Sunset in the Lamborghini. It's 1:31:56.479 --> 1:32:01.599 gonna be an old there we go, and I will 1:32:01.720 --> 1:32:04.240 you know, you'll be You'll be in the bed of 1:32:04.320 --> 1:32:06.759 the truck right that gets ready to play the CIA 1:32:06.760 --> 1:32:08.760 analysts on the show. That's right. I was gonna say, 1:32:08.800 --> 1:32:11.040 manning the fifty cow or the cappuccino. You have to 1:32:11.080 --> 1:32:13.519 have a special camera to capture your head, but you 1:32:13.600 --> 1:32:15.600 can do on the show. That is that is It 1:32:15.600 --> 1:32:18.080 would be worth every it would be worth every penny. 1:32:19.960 --> 1:32:22.840 You've heard the man himself, Sean Parnell, Man of War 1:32:23.200 --> 1:32:25.960 I'm buying it. You should buy it. It's on Amazon 1:32:26.960 --> 1:32:29.040 on kindle, but get the hard copy, get the full 1:32:29.120 --> 1:32:31.120 get the full she bang if you can. Sean Parnell, 1:32:31.439 --> 1:32:34.120 former Army Ranger author, good friend. Great to have you on, 1:32:34.240 --> 1:32:36.519 sir Buck. Thanks so much, man, I really do appreciate 1:32:36.560 --> 1:32:39.080 your friendship. Thank you absolutely anytime. Best of luck with 1:32:39.160 --> 1:32:43.560 the book. Okay. Recent polls have shown a fifth of 1:32:43.640 --> 1:32:47.439 Americans can't locate the US on a world map. Why 1:32:47.479 --> 1:32:53.360 do you think this is? I personally believe that US 1:32:53.400 --> 1:32:59.559 Americans are unable to do so because sama people out 1:32:59.600 --> 1:33:03.599 there and our nation don't have bounced. And I believe 1:33:03.640 --> 1:33:07.160 that our education like such as a South Africa and 1:33:07.880 --> 1:33:11.960 Iraq everywhere like such US, and I believe that they 1:33:12.200 --> 1:33:16.360 should Our education over here in the US should help 1:33:16.479 --> 1:33:20.120 the US, or should help South Africa, and should help 1:33:20.200 --> 1:33:23.320 DIRAC in the Asian countries, so we will be able 1:33:23.400 --> 1:33:26.920 to build up our future for Thank you very much. 1:33:27.160 --> 1:33:33.439 So it never gets old, folks, It never gets old. 1:33:33.560 --> 1:33:36.200 I know it was a long time ago. I know 1:33:36.439 --> 1:33:39.800 it's not necessarily representative of all pageants and all the 1:33:39.880 --> 1:33:42.360 rest of it, but come on, it was amazing. I 1:33:42.479 --> 1:33:44.720 might have said this even on this show before. But 1:33:44.880 --> 1:33:48.000 really my favorite part of the whole thing is it's 1:33:48.040 --> 1:33:51.360 when Mario Lopez, whom I remember well from being a 1:33:51.520 --> 1:33:54.280 c slater in his Saved by the Bell days, but 1:33:54.400 --> 1:33:57.519 when Mariel Lopez goes, thank you very much, and it's 1:33:57.640 --> 1:34:02.400 very solicited to after she's been like you know, the education, 1:34:02.600 --> 1:34:06.040 like such as South Africa and the Iraq and like 1:34:06.200 --> 1:34:09.719 such as, oh man, you know, it is possible, especially 1:34:10.720 --> 1:34:13.920 when I'm doing really long days. I've had the experience 1:34:13.920 --> 1:34:16.000 befour being on live TV and for a moment, and 1:34:16.040 --> 1:34:18.880 it's a momentary panic where you realize that you've kind 1:34:18.880 --> 1:34:21.320 of lost your train of thought and you need words 1:34:21.439 --> 1:34:24.840 right away and you don't want to do the uh 1:34:25.280 --> 1:34:27.680 or you don't want to start Yeah, but you know, 1:34:27.720 --> 1:34:30.719 it starts kind of babbling something. She got a little 1:34:30.760 --> 1:34:33.600 caught up there, but look, she rebounded. Why am I 1:34:33.680 --> 1:34:36.840 telling you about beauty pageants other than some of you 1:34:36.920 --> 1:34:39.400 accused me of having some kind of expertise in these matters. 1:34:39.439 --> 1:34:42.800 I do not claim to have any beauty pageant expertise. 1:34:42.920 --> 1:34:46.240 I do not think that the celebration of superficiality is 1:34:46.320 --> 1:34:49.679 something that we should all uh push for even more. 1:34:50.120 --> 1:34:52.720 But I also recognize that in life. Look, it's life 1:34:52.800 --> 1:34:55.200 is unfair. You know. I wish I were six four. 1:34:56.120 --> 1:34:58.680 I wish a lot of things, and I wish that 1:34:58.760 --> 1:35:01.760 people weren't judged at all at all at all on 1:35:01.920 --> 1:35:06.960 whether they are considered attractive. But that's not reality, unfortunately. 1:35:07.520 --> 1:35:10.360 And I think that everybody should, you know, make the 1:35:10.439 --> 1:35:12.960 most of We should all make the most of our appearance. 1:35:13.040 --> 1:35:14.640 I mean, we all have the choice to make the 1:35:14.720 --> 1:35:16.479 most of of what God gave us. And I think 1:35:16.520 --> 1:35:19.640 that that's a I think that's a positive message. It 1:35:19.840 --> 1:35:22.240 reminds me also of you know, one of my more 1:35:23.000 --> 1:35:25.240 I don't think it's a radical theory, but all this 1:35:25.320 --> 1:35:27.840 stuff you see about fitness and the fitness industry is 1:35:27.880 --> 1:35:31.040 premised on people. You know, everybody can have a six 1:35:31.160 --> 1:35:33.880 pack and look like some kind of Adonis, or if 1:35:33.920 --> 1:35:35.360 you're a lady, you know, you can look like some 1:35:35.520 --> 1:35:39.000 kind of swimsuit model or something. And genetics plays a 1:35:39.160 --> 1:35:41.439 huge role in all this stuff. Folks. Everyone that I 1:35:41.520 --> 1:35:45.839 know who's really smart on the subject of uh, fitness 1:35:45.960 --> 1:35:48.600 and health will tell you that, yes, I mean, you 1:35:48.640 --> 1:35:50.840 should all. We should all strive to be the best 1:35:51.040 --> 1:35:56.000 version of ourselves that we can be. But genetics plays 1:35:56.000 --> 1:35:58.840 a big role and some people do have a different 1:35:58.880 --> 1:36:02.519 metabolism than others. On people put on muscle more easily 1:36:02.560 --> 1:36:05.160 than others, and and so on and so forth. But 1:36:05.280 --> 1:36:07.280 back to beauty path I just feel like people should 1:36:07.280 --> 1:36:09.200 be told that instead of you know, when I was 1:36:09.280 --> 1:36:11.479 in grammar school, it was like, lifts some freeweights and 1:36:11.520 --> 1:36:14.840 you look like Schwarzenegger if you're dedicated enough. No, there's 1:36:14.880 --> 1:36:19.080 really a there's a genetic advantage that some people have 1:36:19.680 --> 1:36:21.720 in terms of their body types and how quickly they 1:36:21.760 --> 1:36:23.920 put on muscle and all the rest of it. So 1:36:24.080 --> 1:36:28.599 on the beauty pageants. The Miss America Beauty Pageant happened 1:36:28.640 --> 1:36:32.400 and it was you know, you've got Gretchen Carlson, whom 1:36:32.520 --> 1:36:37.120 I find pretty annoying just in general. But she's out 1:36:37.160 --> 1:36:39.240 there as she's like the head of the Miss America 1:36:39.240 --> 1:36:41.639 Pageant now. And they decided, because we're in the error 1:36:41.800 --> 1:36:46.759 of me too, to get rid of the swimsuit portion 1:36:46.960 --> 1:36:49.880 of the Miss America Pageant, which I know producer Mike 1:36:50.280 --> 1:36:54.160 very much opposed to this one. Me because I'm a 1:36:54.800 --> 1:36:57.920 century man, I know enough to just try to not 1:36:58.120 --> 1:37:00.280 comment on this because I just get myself in trubble. 1:37:00.439 --> 1:37:02.600 But producer Mike is fearless. He has no problem with 1:37:03.000 --> 1:37:06.040 saying that he thought that the from a business perspective, 1:37:07.000 --> 1:37:10.640 keeping the UH swimsuit competition in the beauty pageant was 1:37:10.680 --> 1:37:13.280 probably a good idea. Turns out that there was a 1:37:13.479 --> 1:37:18.400 twenty three percent drop in ratings from last year's broadcast, 1:37:18.920 --> 1:37:21.240 And if you look in the demo, which is all 1:37:21.280 --> 1:37:24.960 that advertisers care about, so that's people twenty two to 1:37:25.280 --> 1:37:28.479 fifty four or fifty five, whatever it is. If you 1:37:28.560 --> 1:37:34.439 look in the demo, it was down almost which from 1:37:34.520 --> 1:37:40.479 a rating standpoint is pretty much catastrophic. Now here's my thing. Um, 1:37:40.720 --> 1:37:44.280 I I just I understand the arguments for and against 1:37:44.880 --> 1:37:48.439 beauty pageants. I understand that it sends a bad message 1:37:48.479 --> 1:37:50.559 to women that they're judging their parents. But I would 1:37:50.560 --> 1:37:52.240 just know that men are judged on their appearance too, 1:37:52.320 --> 1:37:53.800 in a lot of different ways, not to the same 1:37:53.840 --> 1:37:55.840 extent as women. I'm not you know, I know are 1:37:56.600 --> 1:37:58.360 the world is a cruel place, and it's unfair and 1:37:58.439 --> 1:38:01.840 all that, But what we're all superficially judged in a 1:38:01.880 --> 1:38:03.680 lot of ways. For men, a lot of the superficial 1:38:03.760 --> 1:38:07.680 judgment revolves around the size of our bank accounts, and 1:38:07.840 --> 1:38:10.720 that's like that has anything to do with, you know, 1:38:10.800 --> 1:38:13.400 how good or worthy of a person you are. But 1:38:13.640 --> 1:38:15.040 people say, well, it has to do with how good 1:38:15.080 --> 1:38:17.920 of a provider you are, And I say, ah, you know, 1:38:18.040 --> 1:38:19.679 there's a lot of guys inherit a lot of money. 1:38:19.720 --> 1:38:21.880 It doesn't mean that they're a good provider. It just 1:38:22.000 --> 1:38:24.840 means they're good at providing for someone what somebody else 1:38:24.920 --> 1:38:27.720 provided for them. So there are a lot of ways 1:38:27.800 --> 1:38:30.200 to slice this down. But here here's my thing, my 1:38:30.360 --> 1:38:33.479 my simple sense of all this without getting a too 1:38:33.520 --> 1:38:36.680 many jokes about how the Miss America pageant without the 1:38:36.880 --> 1:38:40.760 swimsuits is just like watching a bunch of third tier 1:38:41.360 --> 1:38:44.720 pundits get on a stage in evening gowns. Um, I 1:38:44.880 --> 1:38:47.360 just say this, We should all be honest about what 1:38:47.479 --> 1:38:49.280 it is that we're doing, what it is that we're seeing, 1:38:49.400 --> 1:38:53.479 what we're supporting. A beauty pageant is inherently superficial. It's 1:38:53.479 --> 1:38:56.600 about physical beauty. You can add some other things into it, 1:38:56.720 --> 1:39:00.280 but first and foremost, it is about physical beauty. And 1:39:00.600 --> 1:39:03.080 we should either say, Okay, that's what we're going to 1:39:03.200 --> 1:39:07.439 be judging here with some other factors, or we should 1:39:07.439 --> 1:39:10.439 find something else to call it. I I just always 1:39:10.479 --> 1:39:13.920 prefer honesty about these things, and I wish that people 1:39:13.960 --> 1:39:16.400 wouldn't dance around the subject matter in quite the same way. 1:39:16.800 --> 1:39:19.200 So maybe it's time to put pageants away, or it's 1:39:19.240 --> 1:39:21.519 time to just say, you know what, We're going to 1:39:21.760 --> 1:39:24.800 be superficial in this endeavor, you know, and that's the 1:39:24.840 --> 1:39:27.679 way it's going to be. Otherwise you just have huge 1:39:27.760 --> 1:39:29.400 ratings drops and people all make fun of it, as 1:39:29.439 --> 1:39:31.800 they should. We got roll call up next. Stay with 1:39:31.880 --> 1:39:35.639 me like soft butter on warm toast. Time to spread 1:39:35.720 --> 1:39:48.000 some freedom coast to coast. It's time for roll call. Alright, 1:39:48.080 --> 1:39:51.240 roll call time. Everybody wanted to get into it right away, 1:39:51.360 --> 1:39:54.400 Let's do it. Facebook dot com, slash buck Sex and 1:39:54.560 --> 1:39:59.519 if you wish to be included. Um, we have Erica, 1:40:00.000 --> 1:40:03.840 who writes, I listened to your uh podcast on Monday, 1:40:03.920 --> 1:40:06.400 but Monday evening radio show is an appearing the available 1:40:06.400 --> 1:40:10.720 episodes list. Um, Erica, we are going to make sure 1:40:10.800 --> 1:40:13.479 that the full episode, that the full radio show episode 1:40:13.760 --> 1:40:16.519 is up in the feed, So just look for the 1:40:16.600 --> 1:40:21.280 Buck Sexton Show and we might we were tweaking some things, 1:40:21.320 --> 1:40:22.760 but it's gonna be up. We're gonna put up the 1:40:22.800 --> 1:40:26.920 full show because I everybody whoa everybody wants the full show. 1:40:27.000 --> 1:40:29.960 They do not want a partial do not want a 1:40:30.040 --> 1:40:33.040 partial show in in the feed. So we're gonna figure 1:40:33.040 --> 1:40:35.240 out a way to do that. Um. It might mean 1:40:35.360 --> 1:40:37.960 that you have an early kind of sneak peak of 1:40:38.040 --> 1:40:39.640 some of the show and then the full show later on, 1:40:39.800 --> 1:40:41.439 but we're gonna go with the full show up there. 1:40:41.479 --> 1:40:44.960 So just if you're used to listening to the podcast, folks, 1:40:45.360 --> 1:40:48.120 listen to it. Uh, just just do it. What do it? 1:40:48.280 --> 1:40:50.800 Exactly what you've been doing, and just look forward a 1:40:50.840 --> 1:40:52.880 little earlier. We're gonna try to at least get the 1:40:52.920 --> 1:40:55.880 podcast up earlier on in the day as early as 1:40:55.960 --> 1:41:00.920 we can. Uh. Jason writes, Um, so we're not going 1:41:00.960 --> 1:41:02.960 to get the three hours show. Okay, No, No, Jason, 1:41:03.040 --> 1:41:05.840 same thing, same thing we are. We're we're making sure 1:41:05.880 --> 1:41:08.280 that the full podcast is up. I see, I asked 1:41:08.320 --> 1:41:15.000 for feedback, I get feedback. There we go. Um. Cheryl rightes, 1:41:15.680 --> 1:41:19.920 Hi Buck, you keep me sane in California about the 1:41:20.040 --> 1:41:23.680 female form of Brethren from English for Students dot Com. 1:41:24.080 --> 1:41:26.840 There is a word sister and, though it has a 1:41:26.920 --> 1:41:31.080 somewhat different history from its male parallel. Both words were 1:41:31.160 --> 1:41:34.280 used in Middle English twelve to fifteen centuries simply as 1:41:34.360 --> 1:41:38.880 the plural forms of brother and sister. From about sixteen hundred, 1:41:39.439 --> 1:41:43.800 brothers began to take over from brethren. Shakespeare used both 1:41:44.320 --> 1:41:47.280 except in referring to fellow members of a religious community 1:41:48.360 --> 1:41:52.040 or a society or profession. Even this use now is 1:41:52.120 --> 1:41:56.559 rather archaic, although such groups as the Plymouth Brethren keep 1:41:56.600 --> 1:42:00.080 it in use. Sister and meanwhile had fallen completely the 1:42:00.160 --> 1:42:02.280 out of use by the middle of the sixteenth century, 1:42:02.760 --> 1:42:06.160 but it has been revived and used almost exclusively by 1:42:06.360 --> 1:42:12.559 feminist writers. Oh, Cheryl, very interesting, Thank you for your 1:42:12.680 --> 1:42:16.280 take on that. And um, yes, indeed, I will certainly, 1:42:17.080 --> 1:42:20.040 I will certainly add that into the memory banks here. 1:42:21.200 --> 1:42:23.559 Sister and yeah, I'd never hear anybody use the term 1:42:23.640 --> 1:42:27.120 sister and but I do remember in PCU, I think 1:42:27.160 --> 1:42:30.920 it's the womenists spelled w O M Y N I 1:42:31.280 --> 1:42:35.280 S T S. Michael writes, I actually clicked on I 1:42:35.360 --> 1:42:38.880 accidentally clicked on Rachel Mattow's show last night. She was 1:42:38.960 --> 1:42:42.640 talking about the Trump visa D classification, saying he was 1:42:42.760 --> 1:42:46.519 doing it to cloud up the Russia investigation. Then she 1:42:46.680 --> 1:42:49.479 cited the great accomplishments of Bruce or in the d 1:42:49.560 --> 1:42:53.880 o J. It's a different world there, Michael. It absolutely is. 1:42:54.720 --> 1:42:58.040 They believe what they want to believe over at MSNBC, 1:42:58.400 --> 1:43:01.000 and they like to think that the President of the 1:43:01.120 --> 1:43:04.400 United States is a traitor, that he has done terrible things, 1:43:04.600 --> 1:43:08.880 and that we should all be outraged about it. I'm 1:43:08.960 --> 1:43:11.800 here to tell you that they're wrong, and a lot 1:43:11.840 --> 1:43:14.519 of them are lying, and you really can't make a 1:43:14.600 --> 1:43:17.120 good faith case anymore about the Russia coclusion investigation. I 1:43:17.160 --> 1:43:19.360 mean it, it is a It is a sham. It 1:43:19.479 --> 1:43:23.920 is a scam. Uh. It should not have happened. It 1:43:24.000 --> 1:43:27.439 just flatly should not have been something that occurred. But 1:43:28.400 --> 1:43:30.880 here we are, Lisa right chields high Buck. I don't 1:43:30.880 --> 1:43:32.719 mind the new format, but I love my three hours 1:43:32.760 --> 1:43:36.400 a day. Um, Lisa, we're going back. We're going back 1:43:36.479 --> 1:43:39.160 to the podcast. Even if you get an early sneak 1:43:39.200 --> 1:43:42.040 peek throughout the day, the podcast will be in full 1:43:42.680 --> 1:43:45.120 three hour format. So don't worry about that. It's gonna 1:43:45.160 --> 1:43:46.760 be there. It's gonna be there. But do me a favor, 1:43:46.800 --> 1:43:48.960 spread it around. We gotta guys, I can tell you 1:43:49.040 --> 1:43:51.840 this right now. I just checked today in what is 1:43:51.880 --> 1:43:54.920 it now? In uh less than a year, I think 1:43:54.960 --> 1:43:59.360 it's about over the course of ten months, we have doubled, 1:43:59.479 --> 1:44:04.439 just the doubled the podcast size of a podcast audience 1:44:04.479 --> 1:44:06.880 for this show. And I came into it bringing off 1:44:07.080 --> 1:44:11.280 bringing along with me a substantial podcast crew from the 1:44:11.320 --> 1:44:14.320 Blaze radio days because it was all digital. So your 1:44:14.400 --> 1:44:17.679 efforts really really do help. But whenever you tell somebody 1:44:17.840 --> 1:44:20.200 about this show, I mean, there are two things. Look 1:44:20.240 --> 1:44:21.920 at this a little bit of a shameless plug, but hey, 1:44:22.640 --> 1:44:25.080 commerce baby, there are two things you can do that 1:44:25.240 --> 1:44:27.040 really helped me out, and it's in all of your 1:44:27.080 --> 1:44:29.600 power to do it. Number one is anytime I do 1:44:29.680 --> 1:44:31.720 a call out for a product, check it out at 1:44:31.800 --> 1:44:33.640 least go to the U r L. For our sponsors, 1:44:33.760 --> 1:44:35.800 they're really partners with the show. By the way, some 1:44:35.960 --> 1:44:39.519 of you in the past have said that you didn't 1:44:39.560 --> 1:44:41.519 like or you know that there was a sponsor here. 1:44:41.600 --> 1:44:43.960 They're very early on in the show's history. I want 1:44:43.960 --> 1:44:45.600 to know. I take that into account. And there have 1:44:45.680 --> 1:44:48.080 been a couple of cases where I've said I I'm 1:44:48.120 --> 1:44:51.839 not going to work with a particular product going forward 1:44:52.080 --> 1:44:54.439 because my audience didn't like it. The people that I 1:44:54.520 --> 1:44:56.880 sponsored with I know them, or rather that sponsor this 1:44:56.960 --> 1:45:00.200 show that I partner with, I know them. I like 1:45:00.360 --> 1:45:02.680 their product. I use their product that matters to me. 1:45:03.240 --> 1:45:06.559 So whenever you can, if you buy one of those products, 1:45:06.640 --> 1:45:07.880 or at least go check it out on the U 1:45:08.000 --> 1:45:10.840 r L that I call out, that helps. But the 1:45:10.960 --> 1:45:13.800 easier way for a lot of you um or rather 1:45:13.920 --> 1:45:16.200 the the completely cost free way you know off to 1:45:16.200 --> 1:45:18.320 buy anything is just to tell somebody, hey, check out 1:45:18.400 --> 1:45:20.360 this guy. Go on iTunes and check out the Buck 1:45:20.400 --> 1:45:23.240 Sexton Show. Uh. You know, I don't have a PR budget. 1:45:23.640 --> 1:45:26.280 You are my PR budget, so to speak. You guys 1:45:26.320 --> 1:45:27.920 are my eyes and ears out there in the rest 1:45:27.920 --> 1:45:30.280 of the world. And you know, nothing makes me happier 1:45:30.320 --> 1:45:32.360 than when I got a message from somebody who's downrange 1:45:32.360 --> 1:45:34.200 who's like, hey, I got I got ten of my 1:45:34.240 --> 1:45:37.120 buddies in my unit to listen to your podcasts and 1:45:37.200 --> 1:45:39.320 now and now they're they're constantly, you know, they're downloading 1:45:39.320 --> 1:45:42.160 it every day. Like there's honestly that I get messages 1:45:42.240 --> 1:45:44.320 like that on a fairly regular basis. And I'm being 1:45:44.360 --> 1:45:46.960 serious with you guys, it makes my day. Like I 1:45:47.000 --> 1:45:48.960 could be having a terrible day, you know, a little 1:45:48.960 --> 1:45:51.720 bit of a squabble with Miss Molly over something dumb 1:45:51.880 --> 1:45:54.320 or whatever it may be. Right, I could be dealing 1:45:54.360 --> 1:45:56.800 with all kinds of nonsense from libs who are saying 1:45:56.840 --> 1:45:58.840 crazy things to me because of the show rising that 1:45:58.920 --> 1:46:01.200 I do. Uh. And as long as I get one 1:46:01.200 --> 1:46:03.799 of those emails from somebody in Team back, it makes everything, 1:46:04.760 --> 1:46:07.960 every little thing gonna be all right. Um, So thank 1:46:08.000 --> 1:46:11.360 you all for that. And uh. With that little digression, 1:46:11.800 --> 1:46:16.400 John writes, Hey Buck, Um, I okay another one about 1:46:16.439 --> 1:46:19.120 the the full episodes, full episode this full episodes that 1:46:19.360 --> 1:46:21.040 don't worry.

I mean, this is the team. 1:46:55.040 --> 1:46:57.439 You gotta tell me, you know what you think needs 1:46:57.520 --> 1:47:02.920 to happen. Um meliss So writes or more on the 1:47:03.000 --> 1:47:05.559 pot pretty much every message I'm I'm trying to find message. 1:47:05.560 --> 1:47:07.479 It's not about the podcast and how you guys want 1:47:07.520 --> 1:47:11.800 the full podcast up? Uh. Karen writes Buck, I think 1:47:11.840 --> 1:47:14.240 you should have called your new show Buck Naked. And 1:47:14.360 --> 1:47:16.200 my husband and I would both love a shirt or two. 1:47:16.760 --> 1:47:18.640 But since he has a dad Bob and I have 1:47:18.760 --> 1:47:21.320 an old lady Bob, there's no size extra large. Are 1:47:21.360 --> 1:47:23.400 you getting some more in we'd love to advertise for 1:47:23.439 --> 1:47:26.280 you and show our support. Can you look into that, Karen? 1:47:26.360 --> 1:47:28.280 I can look into it, and I'll tell produce your 1:47:28.320 --> 1:47:31.800 Mike to look into it. Quite a bit, I'm a 1:47:32.120 --> 1:47:36.560 little behind in terms of how I how I put this. 1:47:36.680 --> 1:47:39.040 I'm a little behind in terms of merch right now, 1:47:39.320 --> 1:47:42.320 it's on my list. I'm it's behind getting another Shield's 1:47:42.360 --> 1:47:45.519 high out. I mean, Malta is probably my among my favorites. 1:47:45.600 --> 1:47:48.160 Lepanto's number one, Malta's number two, and Malta's the one 1:47:48.160 --> 1:47:50.720 that's next in the queue for me to do. It's 1:47:50.760 --> 1:47:53.479 just a time and energy issue. So and T shirts. 1:47:53.520 --> 1:47:55.280 I want to do more T shirts. I'm working on it. 1:47:55.360 --> 1:47:57.960 I'm working on it. But Karen, and obviously there should 1:47:57.960 --> 1:48:01.439 be XL. You know, I like I like having a 1:48:01.560 --> 1:48:04.479 wide range of sizes because you know, people like to 1:48:04.520 --> 1:48:06.120 be comfy in their T shirt. You know, if a 1:48:06.200 --> 1:48:08.120 T shirt's not comfy, it's not a T shirt as 1:48:08.120 --> 1:48:12.000 far as I'm concerned, It's a COMI shirt. Hannah writes, Dude, 1:48:12.040 --> 1:48:14.040 it worried me that you hadn't heard of Joe Versus 1:48:14.120 --> 1:48:17.000 the Volcano. It shattered me when you brushed it off. 1:48:17.479 --> 1:48:20.360 You have to watch it. It is pinnacle in nerd culture. 1:48:20.520 --> 1:48:24.360 Just saying, I bet you haven't seen Cabin Boy either, Hannah, 1:48:24.479 --> 1:48:26.760 I have no idea what Joe versus the Volcano is 1:48:26.840 --> 1:48:28.680 and no idea what cabin Boy is. So you have 1:48:29.080 --> 1:48:35.960 exposed a a flaw in my pop culture knowledge. Um, so, 1:48:36.280 --> 1:48:38.920 there you have it. I will have to check this out. 1:48:39.680 --> 1:48:43.360 Page rights. Is this where we can send topic requests? Yes? 1:48:43.439 --> 1:48:46.320 It is? Page if so. Can you cover South Africa 1:48:46.439 --> 1:48:49.040 and retell that story about a ship captain who claimed 1:48:49.080 --> 1:48:52.240 the privilege of being American. I really can't remember more 1:48:52.320 --> 1:48:55.000 of it, so I'm sorry. I've also got my husband, 1:48:55.360 --> 1:48:58.800 Darren hooked on your podcast page.

If everybody 1:49:04.000 --> 1:49:06.680 listening to this right now got one other person to 1:49:06.760 --> 1:49:10.720 listen to the show, you know, I would be, you know, 1:49:11.040 --> 1:49:15.439 well on my way to Uncle Rush Limbaugh's pool house 1:49:15.560 --> 1:49:17.760 or something, you know what I mean. That's my my 1:49:17.840 --> 1:49:21.120 budget would be getting bigger for the show. Um, so 1:49:21.240 --> 1:49:23.360 please do tell somebody about this when when you get 1:49:23.400 --> 1:49:25.880 a chance, and it does it does really help, It 1:49:25.960 --> 1:49:30.080 does really matter.

S Ingram And I will 1:49:34.320 --> 1:49:37.880 tell that story another time, and so thank you for 1:49:38.000 --> 1:49:40.559 the reminder. And on South Africa, I've done a little 1:49:40.560 --> 1:49:42.160 bit of research on this page. Let me look into 1:49:42.200 --> 1:49:44.320 it some more and I'll come back to it. That's 1:49:44.360 --> 1:49:47.000 gonna be it for today. Friends. The whole show is 1:49:47.080 --> 1:49:49.040 up on podcast.

I just don't 1:49:53.360 --> 1:49:56.719 trust the left wing people in charge of the major 1:49:56.800 --> 1:50:01.680 social media platforms to allow discussion to continue unfettered.
