We have job numbers 3 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: in Trump talking about what he's gonna do to get 4 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: the border under control. The theories about the Muller cover 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: up are already underway from the left. We'll talk about 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: that and who controls the Democrat Party right now. Some 7 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: interesting thoughts coming up from Howard Schultz, formerly of Starbucks. 8 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: That and more on The Buck Sexton Show. This is 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

Analysts, remember, no economic numbers just came out. 13 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: They're very very good. Our country is doing unbelievably well economically. 14 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: Most of you don't report that because it doesn't sound 15 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: good from your perspective, But the country is doing really, 16 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: really well. We have a lot of very exciting things 17 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: going on. A lot of companies will be announcing shortly 18 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: they're moving back into the United States. They're all coming back. 19 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,919 Speaker 1: They want to be where the action is. I'm heading 20 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: to the border. We're building a lot of wall, We're 21 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: going to show you a section and a lot of 22 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: things are happening. A lot of very positive things are happening. 23 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to the buck Sex to show everybody. One hundred 24 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: and ninety six thousand jobs in March. Numbers just came 25 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: in today, and so sad day for Democrats because the 26 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: country is still doing well, still a lot of job growth, 27 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: a buoyant economy, a growing economy, and I guess it's 28 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: doing more than just floating rights. It's actually moving in 29 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: the right direction. And if you ever want to feel 30 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: like the so called experts really know nothing, just go 31 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: back and read some of the leading economists that are 32 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: propped up on TV and with columns in the major 33 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: newspapers what they were saying about what this president would 34 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: do to the economy. Now Here we are two years 35 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: in on year three, and still a very very strong economy, 36 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: a lot of growth, and still a tremendous amount of 37 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: optimism in the small business community. Entrepreneurship is on the 38 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: up and up. Things are looking pretty good. But you're 39 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: not gonna get us as Trump knows, I mean, he 40 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: said it. You know, they don't want to talk about it. 41 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about the economy. They'd much 42 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: rather discuss Trump's tax returns Play thirteen. Oh, I don't know. 43 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: That's up to whoever handles it. I don't know. Hey, 44 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm underwood it, but that's up to whoever it is. 45 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: From what I understand, the law is one of the laws. 46 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: One percent is favor, he says. I I think that 47 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: we are going to eventually see Trump's tax returns. I 48 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be able to keep them secret. 49 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: You're gonna get some judge just because remember, all it 50 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: takes is one or maybe a few, depending on whether 51 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: it's an on bank review or something in the appeals court. 52 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: But you know, you don't need a lot of lib judges. 53 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: And there are plenty of Obama appointees and still plenty 54 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: of Clinton appointees before that who sit on the bench. 55 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: And all it takes is the right circumstance, and once 56 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: that stuff is out, there will be out there. I'm 57 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: not worried about it for Trump's sake. I just think 58 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: that the likeliest scenario of all is that they're going 59 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: to use it to try and mock this president. But 60 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: these are whether we're talking about the Press Corps or 61 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats, there's a fundamental lack of seriousness in their 62 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: conversation and what they're trying to do, what they're trying 63 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: to say. This is all once again colored by the 64 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: I Hate Trump disease that has infected the minds of 65 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: Democrats across the country, and so there's not much constructive 66 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: discussion or reporting that goes on. It's all just finding 67 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: the latest rage narrative to placate the left wing loons 68 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: over at MSNBC and at CNN and wherever else you 69 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: find the looney Tunes left. Here is just a smidgeon, 70 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: just a little taste of what you hear on those 71 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: networks right now about the member. The Mulla report is out, 72 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: there's jobs numbers out today, economy is good. For the 73 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: borders a mess, it's a disaster. We'll talk about that later. 74 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying there aren't a big problem. We've got 75 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: big problems, but the economy is actually pretty good. It's 76 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 1: not a big problem. And under another president you would 77 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: have the media celebrating this. I mean they are actively rooting. 78 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: The Democrat press is actively rooting against America here. They 79 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: would prefer there to be suffering of the America people 80 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: as long as it benefits Trump. They don't care about that, 81 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, hurts Trump. They don't care about that suffering 82 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: if it means that Trump is in a rough position, 83 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: in a rough spot. So here's what they want to 84 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: focus on. That somehow the Mueller that they were singing 85 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: Christmas carols to Muller not long ago. They were that 86 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: there are reports in places like the New York Times 87 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: about how you know, aging left wing true believers are 88 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: were worried that they would die before the Mueller report 89 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: came out because they wanted to see justice so badly, 90 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: justice of course, being that Trump is frog marched out 91 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: of the White House in chains. That these were the stories. 92 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: This is what it's out there. People were crying, People 93 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: were devastated that the president wasn't a traitor, which you 94 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: and I knew all along, but they didn't know that. 95 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: Apparently they truly believed the opposite it, which does not 96 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: speak well to their judgment. And this is what they 97 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: say now, Oh, it's all part of the big plan here, 98 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: a cover up because the report is not out yet. 99 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: Play nine. If we get to mid April and still 100 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,799 Speaker 1: don't have the full report, well let's start to look 101 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: like a cover up. Every day that goes by without 102 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: the American people getting the actual report, the details that 103 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: you talked about is indicative of a cover up. The 104 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: fact of the matter is that Barr could show that 105 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: he cared about transparency if he went to the court, 106 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: as Juwarski did and said Judge, please release us to 107 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: the House Judiciary coman, he's doing nothing of the kind. 108 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: So he's perpetrating, in my view, a cover up. This 109 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: has the smell of cover up. What do you have 110 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: to hide? And it seems like Barr was covering up 111 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: for the president, or at least trying to whitewash some 112 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: of the nastier facts. But they have to know by 113 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: now how it looks. It looks at this point like 114 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: a whitewash. If we start running our government based on 115 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: lies and deception and cover up and make that the 116 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: normal standard operating procedure, we're moving into a very different 117 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: form of government. A cover up, they say, wow, a 118 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: cover up. Keep in mind here that all along Bar 119 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: has been saying that they will they will release the 120 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: full report. Is it is It has not been a 121 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: question that they were. I mean, they're going to be 122 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: redactions in it, and as I've been telling you, they're 123 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: going to say, oh, the redactions are an effort to 124 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: hide this information, but they are going to release the 125 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: full report. That they're so focused right now on the 126 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: speed with which the report is going to be released 127 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: just goes to show you that they need a focus 128 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: on something that is not substantive in the objection, but 129 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: just gives them something to get up said about. Oh 130 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: my gosh, they have not released the report yet. Yeah, 131 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: that's because there they haven't. They haven't had time to 132 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: go through at all. They have not had an opportunity. 133 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: There are pro Muller rallies that have happened recently in 134 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: Times Square and I'm trying to you know, they have 135 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: they have things in this. They have song lyrics they 136 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: are distributing to people with things like next plane to 137 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: Moscow and puppet King and you know we will stop you. 138 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: And it's all this anti Trump stuff. I mean, this 139 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: has really become a part of a part of this 140 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: left wing protest culture that the Muller probe is something 141 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: that should be celebrated even though it didn't take Trump down. 142 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: I guess, you know, they there's just a bizarre delusion 143 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: at the heart of all this, and they will not 144 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: focus on things that really matter to anybody who is normal. 145 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: They just want to pretend that there's a cover up 146 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: that's going on here, even though there's no evidence whatsoever 147 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: that that is the case. A few weeks to go 148 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: over a three or four hundred page report of this 149 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: kind after two years of what we've seen is for 150 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: the government that's lightning speed. A couple of weeks to 151 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: look at a report of this length, and I just 152 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: I have to hammer this point home. Remember all of 153 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: the voices you're hearing right now in the press and 154 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party saying that they want transparency, they 155 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: need transparency, because there's another whole set of documents where 156 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: transparency sounds great to me too. Transparency is really appealing. 157 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: I want to know what was provided at the FIZ 158 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: accord to get warrants to do spying surveillance on someone 159 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: like Carter Page. I want to know what was said. 160 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: We all should know. I'd like to know how large 161 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: a role the dossier played in all this. Jim Jordan, 162 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: of course, agrees with me. Play ten. If we want 163 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: the truth, if Jerry Natter wants the truth, then let's 164 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: let's release the FISA application. Let's get the three zero two. 165 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: If Jerry Nadder wants the truth, call in Glenn Simpson, 166 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: bring him in an open hearing, put him under oath. 167 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: See if he takes the fifth like he did in 168 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: front of our committee in a closed door deposition. Indeed, 169 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: closed door deposition. Huh, Let's see that information release release 170 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: the Kraken release, the FISA release it. Let's see that. 171 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: Let's have Glenn Simpson testify. Let's bring some people forward here. 172 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: They were so obsessed with this investigation. I want to 173 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: see where this all goes. So I just wouldn't know that. 174 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: You know, it's a good news. The goodness of the 175 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: country today is bad news the Democrats. That's all. That's 176 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: really the takeaway. Economy, strong, good jobs numbers. Democrats are, Oh, 177 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: it's terrible. Let's talk more about the cover up with Bar. 178 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: Are they going to admit that there wasn't a cover 179 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: up and Bar releases the report? Of course not. These 180 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: people have no accountability, they have no integrity, they have 181 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: no honesty. Howard Schultz, interesting characters. If there's some interesting 182 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: folks who are popping up in this fight for the 183 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: Democrat nomination, you got that guy, Andrew Yang, I interviewed 184 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: him recently. Peace he's at least intriguing. I will give 185 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: him that. He is intriguing, and he'll talk to anybody. 186 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: He will sit down with conservatives. Bernie, even though I 187 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: think he represents an evil ideology, will talk more about 188 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: that going forward to Bernie will subject himself to questions 189 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: from Republicans. So many of these other mainstream Democrats are 190 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: such whimps, won't defend their ideas publicly, will only go 191 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: into media outlets that are part of where that really 192 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: constitute the heart of the echo chamber. But Howard Schultz 193 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: is a guy who I don't know if it's for 194 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: reasons of patriotism or just sanity, doesn't want to see 195 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party become the party of socialists, and he 196 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: sees what's going on here. He sees where this is 197 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: all heading. I want to get into some of what 198 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: Schultz said in just a moment, so team we also 199 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: just so you can get excited about what we have 200 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: to look forward to on the show. And Friday, I 201 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: told you we might be joined by some friends. We 202 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: have an all star lineup of Lawrence Jones from down 203 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: at the Border, he's an old friend of mine from 204 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: the Blaze. He'll be joining also off campus Reform dot Org, 205 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: David Harsani from The Federalist, and back by popular demand, 206 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: the one and only Jesse Kelly, all eight foot ten 207 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: of him. He'll be joining us on radio. You won't 208 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: be able to see him, but you can just hear 209 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: from his voice that he's He's the Jolly Texas Giant. 210 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: He'll be joining us later on the show to talk 211 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: about some of the biggest news stories of the week. 212 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: It's a Friday, so fry ya get excited, kickback, relax 213 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: and let the good times role in the Freedom Hunt 214 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:07,239 Speaker 1: will be right back. If a Democrat runs who resembles 215 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, who says he's a Democratic socialist, Donald Trump 216 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: is going to get reelected. But on the character issue alone, 217 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: lifelong Republicans will not vote for Bernie Sanders, but they 218 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: might vote for somebody who is independent, a centrist, and 219 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: wants to restore a faith and confidence in the promise 220 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: of the country. Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks. Does 221 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: he speak for more than a fringe in the Democrat Party. 222 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: I wonder these days do they recognize how damaging it 223 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: would be. How much of a massive see change it 224 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: would be if Democrats put forward as their candidate officially 225 00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: somebody who describes himself or herself as a democratic socialist. 226 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: No longer could Democrats say, oh, don't say it's socialism, 227 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: it's not socialism. Oh no, your last candidate was a socialist. 228 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,479 Speaker 1: That means your party certainly is a party of socialist 229 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: principles and platforms. Right now? Do they realize that? Though 230 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, do they understand the real long term implications? 231 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: Has Trump broken them so much? Has Trump so thoroughly 232 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: trolled and demoralized and deranged the left that they don't 233 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: have the capacity for judgment anymore on this issue. I 234 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: think it's very possible that they will put forward someone 235 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: that does fit into what Schultz is describing here, and 236 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: that it would be even if here's what I'd offered you. 237 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: I mean, they better get amnesty through and essentially destroy 238 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: the economy and get single payer all in the next presidency, 239 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: because if they put it forward a democratic socialist and 240 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: here he loses, that's going to haunt their party for 241 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: a while. I don't know if they'll reform themselves or not, 242 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: but I don't think the American people are ready, at 243 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: least not a majority of us are ready to accept 244 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: that socialism is the future of this country. Democrats a 245 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: fair number of them do, but not a majority of us. 246 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: But there's this, they're sane voices in the Democrat Party 247 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: that are trying to warn their fellow travelers. They're trying 248 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: to warn them about where this party's headed, where it's going. 249 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 1: And for example, of Schultz is saying something here on 250 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: immigration that is going to make him completely unacceptable to 251 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: the left. Play five. I can promise you that Nancy Pelosi, 252 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: under any circumstances, will not give President Trump a victory 253 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: on immigration. The issue that we have to recognize is 254 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: this President Trump is correct and the Republican leadership is 255 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: correct that we need fierce, strict levels of control on 256 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: that border. That is absolutely true. Those guys a Democrat, folks, 257 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: it's a Democrat. He probably understands some basic principles of economics, 258 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: like supply and demand. Like dumping endless amounts of unskilled 259 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: labor from the Third World on this country is not, 260 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: in fact a recipe for economic success, assimilation, or social 261 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: and political cohesion. It's probably not a good idea. He 262 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: understands that it's not a good idea to have lawlessness 263 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: at the border, because lawlessness at the border begets lawlessless 264 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: in the interior. If we won't enforce the laws at 265 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: the US Mexico border, we're not going to enforce the 266 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: laws against people that violate those laws once they're living 267 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati or San Diego or Tallahassee or wherever. So 268 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: this needs to be a situation that we get under control. 269 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: But speaking rationally as a Democrat these days is dangerous business. 270 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: That the party has gone hard left, far left, and 271 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: Schultz in trying to save it, may, in fact, in 272 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: some ways, I think, solidify just how crazy they are, 273 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, because people like Occasio Cortez and we'll talk 274 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: about her later on the show. Pocazio Quartes, Bernie Sanders. 275 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: These leftist true believers, when confronted with the biffoonery of 276 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: some of their most important ideas, their reaction is not 277 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: to reflect, to deal with the numbers that are presented 278 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: to them, or deal with the counter arguments that dismantle 279 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: the delusions that are central to believe that what they 280 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 1: think is correct is going to be correct. They just 281 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: double down they dig in because that's in their nature. 282 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: There is a self reinforcing cycle among leftists of anyone 283 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: that disagrees with them has to be acting in bad 284 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: faith and as a bad person and has bad ideas, 285 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: And that's now in ethos that comes from the top 286 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: down among Democrats. The most powerful Democrats take that approach 287 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: to the other side. They are not trying to win converts. 288 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: They are hunting heretics. Schultz knows this. And I don't 289 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: know how much room there's gonna be for Schultz in 290 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party or you know, I know he's talking 291 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: running third party. They're gonna put the heat on this 292 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: guy like nothing else, because yes, if he if he 293 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: did run, I think he hands the whole thing to Trump, 294 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 1: which would be amazing. So I'm kind of liking Schultz 295 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: right now. He's saying some sensible stuff, and he's a 296 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,959 Speaker 1: sensible guy on some issues, which separates him from most Democrats. 297 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: I'm proud to be a bartender. Ain't nothing wrong with that. 298 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other 299 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: people to buy. There is nothing wrong with preparing the 300 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: food that your neighbors will eat. There is nothing wrong 301 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: with driving the buses that take your family to work. 302 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: There is nothing wrong with being a working person in 303 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: the United States of America, and there is everything dignified 304 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: about it. I, in fact, I'm encouraged when people remind 305 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: the country of my past, not because of anything about 306 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: my story, but because it communicates that if I could 307 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: work in a restaurant and become a member of the 308 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: United States Congress, so can you. So can you. Ain't 309 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. She's saying kind of a strange affect all 310 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden in AOC speech there at the National 311 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: Action Network conference. I've never heard her sound like that before. 312 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong, she said, What was that? She all 313 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden kind of got like a little bit 314 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: of a southern vibe. It seemed to less yeah, and 315 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: noticeable to me, you know, notice to me, I thought, 316 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 1: it's a little a little strange. Also, here's a classic 317 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: Democrat tactic. I want to talk about Strawman. What exactly 318 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: who does she think she's refuting with this, It's nothing 319 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: wrong with preparing food or driving buses or No. We 320 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: like people doing jobs and getting paid for them. Yes, 321 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: that's right, that's the system we have capitalism, the system 322 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: that she seems more fond of. Is one that disincentivizes 323 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: people from working really hard, because it's very, very hard 324 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: to get ahead, and it's very hard to benefit personally 325 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: from your labor in the way that you would like to, 326 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 1: because of all the constraints put on you by the government, 327 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: because of what Bastiat in the Law, a book that 328 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: I would highly recommend to any of you who want 329 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: a pretty quick but very insightful read on why redistribution 330 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: is what he called plunder, which is just the seizure 331 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: of what is yours by this state under the guise 332 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: of it being moral or ethic are good that that 333 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: leads to all kinds of problems in society. President Trump 334 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: recognizes the downside of what can happen when the government 335 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: decides what you can have and should have or should 336 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: not have. You mentioned Venezuela today, play fourteen. Venezuela is 337 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: a mess. This is what socialism brings. You elect the 338 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: socialist here, you'll have the same exact countries you haven't Venezuela. Now, 339 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not going to turn into Venezuela overnight, 340 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: So I have to I Trump is right here on 341 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: right here, in the spirit of things, but take a 342 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: little more time than that, but it would put us 343 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: on our trajectory that I'm not sure we'd ever get 344 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: off of. Ones. People are of the belief that what 345 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: they are being given by the government, that the government 346 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: has seized from other people is not just the their 347 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: legal right, but a moral right, an ethical imperative imposed 348 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: by the state by the government. Very difficult to change 349 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: their minds later on. Does not matter what the end 350 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: results are, does not matter how much damage is done 351 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: to the economy. People never want to be told that 352 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: what they have been given was not theirs in the 353 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: first place, and they certainly would not want to be 354 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:23,239 Speaker 1: told in an AOC approved redistributionist system that it's not 355 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: going to continue going forward, that people are going to 356 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: have to make ends meet on their own. If you 357 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: had told me even five years ago that there would 358 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: be such an open embrace of socialism the Democratic Party, 359 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: I would I would have said not yet. I knew 360 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: it was going to this place, but it has surprised 361 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: even me with its speed. I mean the acceleration into 362 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: full on socialism from the Democrat Party, meaning and look, 363 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: I know that what they're really just doing is moving 364 00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: along with the and going further down the line on 365 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: beliefs that they've long held and that this is their 366 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: progressives and this has been a progression into socialism. So 367 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: we have been expecting this, but it's sped up, it's 368 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: gone faster in the post Obama ark. Obama, as much 369 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: as he didn't accomplish things that I think we're good 370 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: for the country from the perspective of state control, the enlarge, 371 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: the enlarging of government, I think Obama was very effective 372 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: at setting the groundwork for where we are now, which 373 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: is a full on socialist running for the Democratic nomination 374 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: of the presidency. And I know that Bernie ran agains 375 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: Hillary in twenty sixteen, but it was still considered a 376 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: knock on Bernie at the time across the party that 377 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: he was a democratic socialist. That was definitely and that's 378 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: why they went with Hillary, the most unlikable candidate in 379 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: recent memory to be on any major party ticket, because 380 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: they thought she was electable. Why was Bernie not electable, Oh, 381 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: because Bernie was a socialist. Now they're saying, not only 382 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: is Bernie perhaps electable, but he is elected because he 383 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: is a socialist. That is quite a change. And the 384 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: adoption of Sanders esque policy proposals by the Democrat Party 385 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: overall is indicative of exactly the kind of shift that 386 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you about. We've been expecting it, but 387 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: it's happened much more quickly than we anticipated. There's also 388 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: a shift among Democrats to stoke racial tensions. You're seeing 389 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 1: more of this. I want to discuss that with you 390 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: and how it's going to play into not just these 391 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: primary contests, but the twenty twenty election and some very 392 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: unsettling ways. That's coming up today on the four hundredth anniversary, 393 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: an anniversary of the first Africans being brought to this 394 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: country and slavery. The average black family now has one 395 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: tenth the wealth of the average white family. The truth 396 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: is that this racial gap exists because slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, 397 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: and predatory lending well from African Americans. Just last year, 398 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: the Republicans in North Carolina's ninth Congressional district through enough 399 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: votes in the trash to rig an election. Massive voters 400 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: suppression prevented Stacy Abrams from becoming the rightful governor of Georgia. 401 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: Last election, we saw great campaigns run for governor by 402 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams Andrew Gillum and Ben Jellis, all of us 403 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: recognize that we have a long way to go to 404 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: end the institutional racism which permeates almost every aspect of 405 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: American society. Democrats, all these white candidates who talk incessantly 406 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: about race, and I find it very, very illuminating that 407 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: the way that they discuss race is from a perspective 408 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: of such intense negativity and divisiveness, and I think they 409 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: speak about race in a deeply irresponsive way. You know, 410 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm and I know that you know this. You get 411 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: into some pretty pretty tense territory here with some people. 412 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: But I've got to tell you there's a real rewriting 413 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: of history that's occurred about what race relations were like 414 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: under the Obama administration when Democrats were in control of 415 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: much of the government, most of the government until this 416 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: sort of the second part of Obama's term, and we 417 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: had what were effectively race riots. I mean, that's what 418 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: the anti cop Black Lives Matter riots in Ferguson, in 419 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: Baltimore and elsewhere. That's what they would be called, or 420 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: would have been called years and years ago. There were 421 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: riots stoked by racial you know, racial antagonism, racial animosity, 422 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: and I just think that Democrats are so completely and 423 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: utterly irresponsible with how they talk about these things. And 424 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: for Bernie Sanders, who is very sensitive about this issue, 425 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: because Bernie is like as white as I am. I mean, 426 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: Bernie is a very, very white dude. And you know, 427 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is a guy who's is obviously from Vermont, 428 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: which is one of the white est states in the country. Too. 429 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: He gets up on stage and says that race permeates 430 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: every aspect of our society. This becomes obsessive. I mean, 431 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't even think that that's I don't know what 432 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: that's supposed to mean. What are we supposed to take 433 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: from that? If race, and by that he means racism, 434 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: If racism permeates every aspect of our society, we have 435 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: we made progress or not has have a race relations 436 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: the last seven or so years dramatically improved. Do we 437 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 1: have equality under the law? In fact, this is where 438 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: Democrats get very very testy. The only inequality we have 439 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: as a function of law privileges certain minorities, not all minorities, 440 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: not Asians, but privileges certain minorities over others, and over 441 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: certainly over the white majority. In this country, and I 442 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: would would start to wonder when we can have a 443 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: conversation that goes both ways about this doctrine of white 444 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: privilege that white liberals are some of the biggest proponents 445 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: of talking about. But this doctrine of white privilege and 446 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: the usage of the term white supremacy to describe all 447 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: kinds of aspects of society that no normal person would 448 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: think are permeated with or infused with white supremacy. When 449 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: when do we get to have an honest conversation about 450 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: how this has become a kind of hysteria, that this 451 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: is just it's it's now, it's it's too much. You know, 452 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: when can we say that that people who claim that 453 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: America as Eric Holder did America as as a nation 454 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 1: of cowards when it comes to race, we talk about 455 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: race and racism incessantly. I mean, if you turn on 456 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: MSNBC at any given time in their primetime lineup when 457 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: they weren't doing Russia collusion delusion for you know, night 458 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: after night, if you've gone before that period, the chance 459 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: that they're being some story on race is very very high. 460 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: I mean, CNN covered the Ferguson riots and covered the 461 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: whole Mike Brown situation, you know, in a way that 462 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: was clearly intended to inflame tensions. And what they do 463 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: is they get people, you know, all people that they can, 464 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: from all different backgrounds and ethnicities, really angry about what's 465 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: going on. And then the transference of this and this 466 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: is the Olynsky style mobilization. They get people really angry 467 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: over race, and they say they're the bad guys, and 468 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: they are Republicans. It's you and me, although I know 469 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: they're liberals who listen to this show too, And I'm 470 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: so glad that you find this show entertaining enough and 471 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: information dense enough that even though some of you disagree. 472 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: I love getting those emails. By the way, whenever I 473 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: have liberals that reach out and they say, hey, I 474 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: don't really agree with you, but I just I find 475 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: the way your take on things interesting, I take that 476 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: as a high compliment. And there are some liberals that 477 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: I well, I read a lot of liberal stuff, but 478 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: there are some liberals that I deeply admire for their 479 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: skill at least even if I think they're wrong, their 480 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: skill in rhetoric, in argument, in writing show. You know, 481 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: that's you gotta gotta respect the game. Sometimes back to 482 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: this, this this year of the Democrats and race. I'm trying 483 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: to get a little bit ahead of this because I 484 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: think we need to be prepared for what is going 485 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: to be a very ugly election cycle. They are going 486 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: to call this president so many terrible names and say 487 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: things about him that when I when I say, it's irresponsible. 488 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: You know, to claim if you're sitting in elected office 489 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: in this country and you claim that the President of 490 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: the United States is effectively a neo Nazi, that and 491 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: then you also are always pushing this narrative that white 492 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: supremacy is infused all throughout American society, that white nationalists 493 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: are the biggest terror threat in this country and we 494 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: need to be on the on guard against white nationalists. 495 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: You know, Oh, why is the TSA going through your 496 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 1: stuff because of all the white nationalist concerns? Right, I mean, 497 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. But in that environment to say that President 498 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: Trump somehow fits into that is to create the the 499 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: grounds for people to go way outside the bounds of 500 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: civilized conduct and to do things that are that are 501 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 1: illegal and that and that are horrific. You know, I 502 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: have not forgotten that it was a Bernie Sanders supporter. Now, 503 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: people who bring up that guy, Sayok, who is just 504 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: a you know, a delusional loser and and a loaner 505 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: who was in the kind of magamobile. You know, Yeah, 506 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: he sent bombs. He sent bombs in the mail the 507 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: people from the networks. My understanding is that the bombs 508 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: were not intended to go off. Doesn't mean it's okay, 509 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: the guys should get to prison for a very long time. 510 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: But I remember it was the only person who's actually 511 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: shot someone in recent years in American politics was a 512 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders supporter, a Bernie Sanders supporter who believed that 513 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,239 Speaker 1: Republicans were a threat to this country. And that's not 514 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 1: a leap from the rhetoric and the stories and the 515 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: things that you're seeing on the mainstream networks. You know, 516 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: and this is a very important distinction. You know, Sayok 517 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: might have been the guy who lived in the maga 518 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: van who was sending the pipe bombs in the mail. 519 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, he may have been in the comments sections 520 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: of some far right websites, or he might have been 521 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: you're reading Stormfront or whatever. But the guy who James Hodgkinson, 522 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: who shot Steve Scalise, almost killed him, tried to kill 523 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: many more, specifically conservative members of Congress and targeted them, 524 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: had a list of their names. His thought process about 525 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: how Trump is a danger, the Republicans are a danger. 526 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: They're destroying this country. That's mainstream media thought. They say 527 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: that is that they're danger. I mean, this is and 528 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,479 Speaker 1: this is what I mean by talking about how, you know, 529 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter was was being magnified that cops were 530 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: hunting young black men for sport essentially in this country, 531 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: that they were murdering them because they are so racist 532 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: and they just felt like it. Well, if that's really true, 533 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: then there are people who are going to act on 534 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: that in terrible ways. Right the same way we talk 535 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: or the same you know, logic is something you have 536 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: to transfer to what we're seeing here at the talk 537 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 1: about how racist and terrible and racist this country is. 538 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: Some people are going to hear that and they're going 539 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: to act on it in ways that are unpredictable and 540 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: could be very damaging. And I just am sick of 541 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: Democrats being so completely reckless in their demogoguary about this. 542 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren does not care about poor people or minorities 543 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: more than you and I, Bernie Sanders does not care 544 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: about poor people and minorities more than you and I. 545 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: And this is one of the fundamental pretenses of contemporary 546 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: liberalism in this country, is that people that adopt these 547 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: positions and these talking points care more about black people 548 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: in this country, care more about you know, women in 549 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 1: the LGBT community. They just are trying to gain power 550 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: and virtue signaling and treat our side like we're not 551 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: trying to treat everybody like equals, like people of equal dignity, 552 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 1: and in the eyes of the law, in the eyes 553 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: of God, they just basically leftism is cancer, is what 554 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: I'm saying. And it's cancer in the debates or in 555 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: the discussions over race, and it's cancer and the discussions 556 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: over everything right now. And I think we're heading into 557 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 1: a very dangerous period. You're just it's early. It's early. 558 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: The Democrats are focused on each other right now, but 559 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: you can see the initial embers for what I think 560 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: will turn into a conflagration of hate against this president 561 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. It's coming, and we need to be 562 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,479 Speaker 1: prepared for We're gonna go back to that period where 563 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: they're shouting people down in the streets and scary things 564 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 1: are happening because Democrats are nuts. In February, Leadership Institute 565 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: field organizer Hayden Williams was just trying to help some 566 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: conservative students recruit for their group at UC Berkeley and 567 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 1: he was viciously attacked by a radical leftist thug. One 568 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: of my closest friends when I was in college was 569 00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 1: trying to recruit for college Republicans and he also was 570 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: punched in the face. Folks, it's out of control. The 571 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: leftists are running a muck on campus and trying to 572 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: silence conservatives.

So 585 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: what I've done is I've basically instituted a very traditional 586 00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: emergency response posture. So I'm pulling on all of the 587 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,879 Speaker 1: departments in the federal government asking them to fill those 588 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: resource needs that we have because we have declared the emergency. 589 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 1: So we are doing that now, and then we continue 590 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: to work with the military.

And our next 593 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: guest as a friend of mine who was also just 594 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: down there. You got Lawrence Jones in the house.

Good to have you back. What's 599 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: going on? Brother? So tell me where were you at 600 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: the board? Were you in El Passo like me? I 601 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: did the Laredo sector. You did Laredo? Okay, so we'll 602 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 1: tell this is great then, because I do. I was 603 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: in on Passo last week. I've been talking about on 604 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 1: the show. Tell me what they're telling you at Laredo sector. 605 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: What's going on, Well, there are a couple of things. 606 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: You know, the cartill. You know, a lot of people 607 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 1: don't understand that, but I know you do. Thought we 608 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: may control the American side of things, but in order 609 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: to cross the least specifically in the Laredo sector, in 610 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: order to cross that border, it goes to the cartel. 611 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,760 Speaker 1: They're paying thousands and thousands of dollars to get people across. Now, 612 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: last year we saw uptick of the Bangladesh nationals coming 613 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: across and that is since stopped, and that's because Border 614 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: Patrol took out one of the cartel leaders there. But 615 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: in the last month or so there's been this up 616 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: tick of Chinese national So the night before last, as 617 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,240 Speaker 1: I was on the ride along, the Border Patrol engaged 618 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: with two Chinese nationals. They arrest rested while we were 619 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of this ride along, and they told 620 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: me that this is an uptick that they're going to 621 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: see for a couple of months now because there's a 622 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: new avenue for them to get across the border. Now, 623 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: what's important about the Laredo sector is that although the 624 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: Border Patrol is technically responsible for a hundred percent of 625 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,240 Speaker 1: that sector. They can only protect thirty of that sector. 626 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:09,200 Speaker 1: That means sevent is open wide open for illegals across. 627 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: And what were they saying just about the the resources 628 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: that they have to deal with this problem given the 629 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,240 Speaker 1: migrant crisis is happening across the border. It look at Lawrence. 630 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: Last year was the most violent year in Mexico's history 631 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: in terms of murders, and a vast majority of those 632 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 1: are drug cartel related fights over turf and people assassining 633 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: you know, members of police or people who talk or 634 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 1: snitches or whatever. What are you hearing from Laredo sector 635 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: about the drain on resources at the border that has 636 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: happened from the migrants and what that means for the 637 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: battle against the cartels. Well, so there's a couple of things. Uh. 638 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: As far as the resources, and I mean not even 639 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: getting into the border wall, it's technology aspect, even though 640 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,879 Speaker 1: that is a big part to make this work. They 641 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: don't have enough agent to do their job. And you know, 642 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: I've seen it firsthand now that a lot of these 643 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: agents are put in difficult situations because it will be 644 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,520 Speaker 1: one Asian in the field covering a part of the 645 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: sector and they're backed up will be fifteen twenty minutes away. Now, 646 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: if you're engaging with eight illegal aliens, which they come 647 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: in groups because that's how they pay the cartel, they 648 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: have guide to get them across. Then if there's a weapon, 649 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: if all those who have weapons, then that asian the 650 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: gout of luck because their backup won't be able to 651 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,720 Speaker 1: get to them. So, you know, the border wall is great. 652 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: We need it because it slows them down. As a 653 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: part of the system, we need the technology advances as well. 654 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 1: But if we don't have agents there that are equipped 655 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,439 Speaker 1: to make the arrest, then none of it matters. What's 656 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: it like in Laredo, by the way, these days, you know, 657 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: El Paso was pretty was pretty quiet, although it was interesting. 658 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: I met with the El Paso mayor and I said, 659 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: are you guys seeing any any crime that's across from 660 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 1: the border in a way that not including illegal crossing, 661 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 1: but more along the lines of violence, you know, felony crimes. 662 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,239 Speaker 1: And the mayor of course said, oh no, we're one 663 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: of the safe We're the safest city in America. Are 664 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: one of the safest cities in America. And then I 665 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: spoke to some of the Border patrol guys. They said, actually, 666 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: we've started to have some drive buys and some things 667 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: are getting a little a little hotter here than they've 668 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: been in a while, in part maybe because law enforcement 669 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 1: resources are so fixed on trying to deal with what's 670 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: going on with the migrant crisis, at least when we're 671 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: talking about border patrol, so the cartels might feel a 672 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: freer hand. I'm just wondering. I mean, it's Laredo pretty quiet, 673 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: are they are they worried about a surge and some 674 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: bad stuff going on? Well, it depends on what part 675 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 1: of Laredo. The houses that are closest to the border 676 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: are the ones that are affected the most. I mean directly. 677 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,760 Speaker 1: Like for example, last night, we did a riot alone 678 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: and as the agents were pushing them back to the river, 679 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: they cut back and going across the border behind people houses. 680 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: We got a call from the Laredo Police Department that 681 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,319 Speaker 1: put it into the Border Patrol unit. That's the super 682 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: were behind. Now, uh, they end up getting them. But 683 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: again there's been gun fights, which is why you know, 684 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,439 Speaker 1: this is old trending topicy about me wearing a vest 685 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,520 Speaker 1: that the Border patrol maybe put on part of the 686 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 1: reason because there's been gunfights, um, and there's been violent 687 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: and when the cartel gets upset, uh and there becomes 688 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: these turf awards, Uh, then the public that are on 689 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: that border that you know, they suffered the consequences up that. 690 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 1: I can't stress this enough. Although we have control on 691 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: high side, the cartel runs the other side, and it's 692 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 1: only a river separating that, uh, you know us from them. 693 00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: And I know that ao Ocasio Cortez aoc H went 694 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,439 Speaker 1: after you with her social media because as you said, 695 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: you put on a vest which you were told to 696 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,480 Speaker 1: do by a by border patrol and a ride along 697 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: situation I don't know could even be for them. It's 698 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: just to liability an insurance issue. But yeah, but but 699 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,680 Speaker 1: aoc is giving you know, it's giving you a hard 700 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: challenge one and what you told me you clap back 701 00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: at or what did you say? Well, and grels here 702 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 1: since she doesn't believe there's a crisis the border to 703 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 1: come to the radio sector and get a brief in 704 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,560 Speaker 1: just like I did. You go out there, um and 705 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: and do a ride along with these ancient and experience um, 706 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: the terminol that they've experienced on the border. I mean 707 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: it's in say, I have way more respect for the 708 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,840 Speaker 1: border patrol ass um. Before I came there, you know, 709 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: I just supported them, But now I've seen what they 710 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: have to go through their life of the risk every 711 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 1: single time they're out there because they don't know what 712 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna interact with, especially at nighttime. It gets really 713 00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: crazy at nighttime. Um, and in the middle of my 714 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: Fox shit the other day when I'm doing handing these programs, Uh, 715 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: they just start crossing the border and right when we 716 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: finished it, we hop in the car in the pursue them. 717 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: But you just never know. And so AOC is acting 718 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: like there's not a problem. The Democrats act collected a problem. 719 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: There's no violence, And is this absurd Either there being 720 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,960 Speaker 1: intellectually dishonest or they're just straight up lines. So Lawrence, 721 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,360 Speaker 1: I know you. Also, we're gonna switch gears here for 722 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,399 Speaker 1: a moment. You are at Campus Reform, So you're part 723 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 1: of an organization that's trying to highlight the speech wars 724 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: on campus and really the efforts by the left that 725 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: continuing dominance by the left, or of the left's censorship 726 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 1: of conservative ideas and thoughts. And you know, we here 727 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,320 Speaker 1: on the show have partnered with the Leadership Institute, which 728 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 1: is on the front lines and is very much involved 729 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: in trying to create conservative activism on campus to counter 730 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: all this stuff. I just wanted to take a moment 731 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 1: here because you know, you're a friend of mine, you're 732 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: a friend of the show. What is the Leadership Institute 733 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 1: really doing? I mean, what do people need to know 734 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,759 Speaker 1: about this organization that, for full disclosure of course, is 735 00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 1: one of our partners now on this program. Yeah, so 736 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 1: the Leadership introduced trains conservative activists on the college campuses. 737 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: We know there is a war happening on the college campuses, 738 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: and the Leadership Instances essentially equipped young people for that battle. Now, 739 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: on the campus reform side of the real the media 740 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 1: arm we, I'd like to tell people, were the judicial 741 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: watch of higher ed and we hold them accountable by 742 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 1: reporting every single day over one hundred and ten correspondents 743 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: or a college students that write about what's happening free 744 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 1: speech issues, liberal biases, and doctor nations that happened on 745 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: the college campuses today. And there was really a boy 746 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,040 Speaker 1: because the media really didn't cover this, they didn't think 747 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,200 Speaker 1: that it was an issue. And when campus reforms started 748 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: to expose courses such as at San Diego State on 749 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: how to Impeach Donald Trump literally being taught in the classroom. 750 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 1: People started to be really alarmed. And it's because of 751 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: the patriots, the grandmothers and the moms and dad that 752 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: are really concerned about socialism taking over the culture that 753 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:10,320 Speaker 1: we've been able to be so successful. Folks, you should 754 00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 1: all check it out. Leadership Institutes a place that I 755 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: think is doing really important work in Lawrence over campus 756 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 1: reform is raising the issue. Lawrence, We're gonna have you 757 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: on to you know, we want to have you to 758 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,719 Speaker 1: raise awareness about what is going on on campus and 759 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 1: some of the battles that are underway for free speech, 760 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 1: especially after Trump signed that executive order. We're gonna hope 761 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,359 Speaker 1: to see some real improvement. But people should definitely check 762 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,719 Speaker 1: out the organization. We'll be talking more about them later 763 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:39,239 Speaker 1: on the show. Take Back the Campus Dot ordered we 764 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: were really free stated. Just support us and help us 765 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: fight this free specist on the car. I've been over 766 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: there to visit Lawrence and the rest of the team guys, 767 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 1: and I can tell you they take this mission very 768 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 1: very seriously, and they understand how important it is because 769 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 1: if we've lost the campuses. We're losing that next generation 770 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,880 Speaker 1: that they're turning out, and they're progressive indoctrination factory. So 771 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 1: if you want to help fight, you want to help 772 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 1: Lawrence and his colleagues and partners in this fight take 773 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,359 Speaker 1: back the campus. Dot org is where you should go. 774 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,399 Speaker 1: Lawrence Jones, my man, great to talk to you. Good 775 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 1: work down on the border, and we'll have you back 776 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: real soon. Thanks, brother, we'll talk soon. Team will be 777 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,480 Speaker 1: right back. I don't know how many more children need 778 00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 1: to be exploited, or how many more families need to 779 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,760 Speaker 1: be put in harm's way by a trafficker before Congress 780 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: will act. But as you saw, we have tried everything 781 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: we can at DHS. We are absolutely out of the 782 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 1: ability to manage this flow and they need help. Congress 783 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,240 Speaker 1: has to act. They have to get rid of Patch 784 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,879 Speaker 1: and release Shane migration visa lottery. They have to get 785 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,880 Speaker 1: rid of the whole asylum system because it doesn't work. 786 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: And frankly, we should get rid of judges. You can't 787 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 1: have a courtcase every time somebody step their foot on 788 00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 1: our ground. Trump is right, but Sayings has to act, unfortunately, 789 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 1: is insufficient because we know Congress will not act. I 790 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: was joking around with some colleagues today over at the 791 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: Hill where I said, maybe maybe what the founding fathers 792 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,839 Speaker 1: really had in mind was gridlock. You know, maybe maybe 793 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 1: they preferred it being very very hard. I think you 794 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,840 Speaker 1: can make a real argument about this being very hard 795 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: to make sweeping changes to governance in this country. And 796 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: so what we think of as part as in gridlock 797 00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 1: is a status quo by design. That's certainly an argument 798 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: one can make because we're always saying, oh, why won't 799 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: Congress do this or Congress do that. We have so 800 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: many more laws now and so much more in the 801 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: way of statutes and legislation than we ever have in 802 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: our country's history. Maybe it is time it's slows some 803 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,279 Speaker 1: things down on this issue. However, the current system is bad. 804 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: It's not that we need new laws. We need laws 805 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: that will fix what's going on, or we need legal 806 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: and statutory larity on what's happening here. And that's why 807 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't see how this will improve, because there's no 808 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,400 Speaker 1: incentive right now. For certainly the Democrats have a majority 809 00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,719 Speaker 1: in the House. And look, I have to say it, 810 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 1: we there was a lot of time wasted early on 811 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,760 Speaker 1: in the administration. You know they went with the travel Band. Well, 812 00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 1: if you're going to get into a big political fight 813 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,719 Speaker 1: on an immigration related issue, I don't think I would 814 00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,799 Speaker 1: have started with travel band, folks. I just I wouldn't have. 815 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 1: It's not how I would have gone about it. And 816 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: so that's I just feel like there, Look, there have 817 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 1: been some mistakes made here, There's no question about it. 818 00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,200 Speaker 1: And it would be in many ways surprising if there 819 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: weren't mistakes, because you have people that are trying to 820 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: work within the upper reaches of the government bureaucracy in 821 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 1: this White House who are kind of new, who not 822 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: not kind of new, are new to the game. But 823 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: the problem now, as I see it, is only likely 824 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: to get worse. As I have been telling you. One 825 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 1: area of this that I think is particularly interesting is 826 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,439 Speaker 1: when you look at what's going on with HHS and 827 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:20,960 Speaker 1: the funding for that HHS is spending now to resettle 828 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 1: unaccompanied Central American teens. Daniel Horrow It's over Over a 829 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,480 Speaker 1: Conservative Review, has written very interesting piece on this. He 830 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,279 Speaker 1: does very He does excellent work on immigration in general. 831 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,239 Speaker 1: I don't know the guy, never met him, but I 832 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: find his stuff to really be very very insightful, very thoughtful, 833 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,280 Speaker 1: and what he's written here is that HHS Secretary Asar 834 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: has made sure that there's going to be, you know, 835 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:54,280 Speaker 1: plenty of additional funding for the seventy to eighty children 836 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: who are taken into custody by by Customs and Border 837 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: Patrol each day. And there are currently twelve thousand, three 838 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 1: hundred and forty Central American children in HHS custody and 839 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 1: they don't have the space for anymore. They're spending one 840 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 1: point three billion dollars a year on this program, and 841 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,240 Speaker 1: the program, the whole resettlement. So this is a program, 842 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 1: just so I'm being clear here, for unaccompanied children who 843 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,439 Speaker 1: show up at the border, we take care of them, 844 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 1: We place them with a sponsor family or with sponsors 845 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 1: in this country, and then we're supposed to figure out 846 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,799 Speaker 1: what is going to happen with them. But all of 847 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: this is really just another way of smuggling people into 848 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:44,399 Speaker 1: the country because they have illegal family members who are 849 00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 1: in the country, and so what they do is they 850 00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,320 Speaker 1: show up at the border and then they are released 851 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 1: into the interior to that family. And so we are 852 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 1: paying for the resettlement of illegal alien children to join 853 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: their alien families inside the United States and the cost 854 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: of this for the American taxpayers a billion dollars a year, 855 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 1: which is that's real money. I know that people owe 856 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: a billion here, a billion there for the government. They 857 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't give us a billion dollars to the wall, but 858 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:20,239 Speaker 1: we'll spend a billion dollars on illegal alien transfer of 859 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 1: illegal alien youth to their illegal families in this country. 860 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 1: And the drug cartels are making are making money off 861 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:34,799 Speaker 1: of this, thousands of dollars for every person. Seventy two 862 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 1: percent of these unaccompanied miners are mail and fifteen to 863 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: seventeen years old. These are basically young adults folks, okay, 864 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 1: who are showing up at the border. These are seventeen 865 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 1: year old dudes who are showing at the border saying, Hey, 866 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,439 Speaker 1: I need to be reunited with my family now. And 867 00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:56,280 Speaker 1: that means that they're getting in before they're actually adults. 868 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,759 Speaker 1: There's a huge incentive because they're going to get sent 869 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 1: at taxpayer expense to join their illegal family, illegal alien 870 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 1: family or family members. This is this is astonishing. I mean, 871 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 1: we're just we're being taken advantage of. That's what this is. 872 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,880 Speaker 1: People are are they figured out that America, you know, 873 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: The political system is very fractured right now over this issue, 874 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: and nobody wants to be the mean person who turns 875 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 1: away refugees or you know, won't let people who are 876 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 1: supposed to be you know, people who are fleeing violence 877 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 1: be here. And you know, this is like we started 878 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 1: a charity and now instead of people sewing up just 879 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 1: for food when they're hungry and they can't get any 880 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 1: other food, they're showing up for three meals a day 881 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:44,279 Speaker 1: and demanding food. We are being taken advantage of by 882 00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 1: Central American migrants. That is just a fact right now. 883 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 1: And what are we going to do about it? Well, 884 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,279 Speaker 1: here's what Trump and Pompeio are saying about the next 885 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 1: move Play four. Mexico has been doing a very good 886 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: job to last three or four day since we talked 887 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:05,320 Speaker 1: about closing the border, which is very real. But what's 888 00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 1: more real initially is tariffs and the cars coming in 889 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 1: at twenty five tariff on the cars being made in 890 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,719 Speaker 1: Mexico coming in, they are they're saying they're going to 891 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 1: do it. So we need to see action. And now 892 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:18,560 Speaker 1: we need to make sure they have the capacity. And 893 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,239 Speaker 1: so we've worked for them to help them for years 894 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: and years, We've provided lots of resources, not only to Mexico, 895 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 1: but to Guatemala, Hondura, Sal Salvador as well, and they 896 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 1: have to do it, and if not, the President is 897 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:32,279 Speaker 1: going to ensure that we protect our nation. We've given 898 00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 1: them a year warning, so who knows what's going to 899 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 1: happen in a year. We don't have the answer for 900 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,000 Speaker 1: this problem yet, folks. We have not yet figured it out, 901 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:45,080 Speaker 1: and time is not on our side, but we will 902 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 1: stay on it here in the Freedom, that's for sure. 903 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,400 Speaker 1: The reason where Fablicans hate me so much is because 904 00:54:53,400 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: I confront them directly on their moral their lack of 905 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 1: moral grounding on so many issues. And not just that, 906 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,920 Speaker 1: but the reason they're so upset and they act like 907 00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 1: that girl in the Exorcist. That's like vomiting peace soup. 908 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 1: That's like them and negativity. I'm pretty sure the reason 909 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 1: Republicans have a problem with her is that we think 910 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:27,359 Speaker 1: she's really stupid and incredibly arrogant. So, yeah, but there's 911 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,439 Speaker 1: some other stuff I want to address. You're like this 912 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,160 Speaker 1: notion that millennials have it so badly and that everything 913 00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 1: is ruined for them. Speaking of negativity, turns out that's 914 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,759 Speaker 1: actually not true, and her friend David Harsanyi over at 915 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 1: The Federalist explains why he's got a piece. Millennials are 916 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 1: the most prosperous generation that has ever lived. Oh and 917 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,359 Speaker 1: by the way, also the freest, safest, most educated, longest living, 918 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,720 Speaker 1: and most globally connected. Mister Harsani is with us now, David, 919 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 1: Great to have you, my friend, always great to be here. 920 00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,799 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. First stuff, just what do you 921 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 1: make What is your diagnosis of the rise of Ocasio 922 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 1: Cortez in American politics? Well, I guess you know. I mean, 923 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,359 Speaker 1: there isn't a sort of populist appeal to her. I 924 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,000 Speaker 1: guess for people who don't really understand what she's talking 925 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,319 Speaker 1: about in the sense of her socialistic ideas. I think 926 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,000 Speaker 1: she's a perfect straw man in a way to bash 927 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 1: those ideas because she's such a bad such a bad 928 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,200 Speaker 1: debate Like in that clip you pay It, she said 929 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 1: that she confronts Republicans directly. Has she ever debated a 930 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 1: conservative about this? I don't. I can't remember her debating 931 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,520 Speaker 1: anyone about these ideas. She just tweets stuff out and 932 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 1: she thinks that's confronting them and it's sort of I 933 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,080 Speaker 1: don't want to bash on millennials. It's sort of a 934 00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, a sort of contemporary thing to do, to 935 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,200 Speaker 1: think that you're actually convincing people by tweeting out something 936 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: she's never really confronted them in any real way. I 937 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:55,799 Speaker 1: feel like no one and this is a little bit 938 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,560 Speaker 1: of a digression from we're talking about, but dude, I 939 00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 1: feel like people don't. There's not really debate anymore anyway, 940 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: because everyone just wants to connect to the folks that 941 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:06,719 Speaker 1: they want to connect to, like their own audience, their 942 00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 1: own side. I can't remember the last time I saw 943 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:15,200 Speaker 1: a really in depth, substantive debate between real heavy hitters 944 00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 1: on an issue. I feel like it never happens anymore. 945 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny. I was just thinking about 946 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,600 Speaker 1: that as well. You know, when I started out many 947 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,560 Speaker 1: years ago, you know, people would write another column that 948 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,480 Speaker 1: pointed out things I had said wrong, and we would 949 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,840 Speaker 1: sort of go back and forth. Even in social media. 950 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,640 Speaker 1: That would happen to maybe a decade ago. But now 951 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 1: it's more like pointing a finger at the other side 952 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:37,800 Speaker 1: and saying, look how dumb they are, and then getting, 953 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,400 Speaker 1: you know, getting a mob of your followers to sort 954 00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 1: of mock the other person. You never really see a 955 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 1: kind of a debate about an issue in the way 956 00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 1: that we used to. And why is because I think 957 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 1: it's just your incentivized to act like a jerk pretty 958 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 1: much on social media. But also maybe we're just so 959 00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,120 Speaker 1: far apart on the issues that there's really not a 960 00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 1: debate to be had. I think we used to sort 961 00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 1: of have similar goals and different ideas of how to 962 00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:01,919 Speaker 1: get there, and now we don't even share the same 963 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,600 Speaker 1: goal as most often, so I think that maybe that's 964 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 1: the problem. But I don't know, and I'm somebody just 965 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 1: like you, David. I for a living now and for 966 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: going on a decade, it's been writing, thinking, you know, speaking, 967 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,880 Speaker 1: doing all these things about different issues. If I sat 968 00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: down with Okazy Cortez on the Green New Deal to 969 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,440 Speaker 1: try to talk to her about it, I mean, I 970 00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 1: think that she would look like an idiot, but I 971 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,480 Speaker 1: think that her side, for example, wouldn't in any way 972 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: except that because we can't even agree on the basics 973 00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 1: of saying the world is going to end in twelve 974 00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:39,040 Speaker 1: years is a crazy person thing to say, right, and 975 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: you're here heard her talk about morality It's a lot 976 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 1: of this is based an emotional response, and you know, 977 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,600 Speaker 1: the moral thing to do, and it's never about the 978 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,520 Speaker 1: outcomes or the cost or a sort of any kind 979 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,560 Speaker 1: of real economic breakdown on what these things mean. That 980 00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 1: it's the moral thing to do once you think you 981 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 1: have the moral high ground. So this often, I mean, 982 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 1: progresses to me. I started out as a sort of 983 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 1: full blown libertarian many years ago, and you know, I 984 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 1: wasn't crazy about the you know, Bible something, you know, 985 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 1: evangelicals and things like that. To me, they are that 986 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,040 Speaker 1: now you know, they have a moral they think they 987 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 1: have the moral high ground, and they don't really even 988 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 1: need to debate you anymore. They just to tell you 989 00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,320 Speaker 1: how moral they are all the time. And that's how 990 00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: she is all the time. Now let's address what she 991 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 1: recently tweeted. Got a lot of attention. She tweeted out, people, 992 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: this is okalaju Ortez. People our age have never experienced 993 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 1: American prosperity in our adult lives, which is why so 994 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:39,440 Speaker 1: many millennials are embracing democratic socialism. I'm pretty sure I 995 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,919 Speaker 1: read that on my iPhone that at full price would 996 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,160 Speaker 1: cost a thousand dollars. While I was waiting for the 997 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,680 Speaker 1: order of food that I had placed via an app 998 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:53,120 Speaker 1: for an Indian Indian restaurant fifteen blocks away, watching my 999 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 1: flat screen forty inch TV, etc. Etc. Et cetera. David, 1000 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not about to cry big tears about 1001 01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 1: how my generation has no prosperity. But this people believe this, Yeah, 1002 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,640 Speaker 1: I mean, And what you just mention is kind of 1003 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 1: important in a way that I don't know that a 1004 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 1: young person might understand. You know, when I was a kid, 1005 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, a small a kid in the seventies, Let's say, 1006 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: it's like I had to wait to hear if I 1007 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,480 Speaker 1: wanted to learn something, I had to go and drive 1008 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 1: or walk or ride my bike to a library, figure 1009 01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:23,640 Speaker 1: it out, look it up, that sort of thing. And 1010 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,919 Speaker 1: now you have the world that your fingertips literally any 1011 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,560 Speaker 1: piece of literature, art, news, anything is right there. Just 1012 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,919 Speaker 1: as a sort of revolution of information and knowledge. It's 1013 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 1: just amazing. It's it's maybe the most revolutionary thing that's 1014 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,120 Speaker 1: happened to just on an intellectual level, you know what 1015 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 1: I mean. And I don't think people realize that. But 1016 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 1: just beyond that, AOC has she's experienced once since she 1017 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,120 Speaker 1: has graduated college has only been one quarter of negative 1018 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,120 Speaker 1: growth in our economy. I don't even know what she's 1019 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:56,800 Speaker 1: talking about. It's just been a humming economy since the 1020 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 1: last recession we had. And you think that that recession 1021 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:01,600 Speaker 1: was like the oppression or something. It wasn't. We have 1022 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 1: recessions all the time. It was the recovery that was 1023 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 1: sort of slow. And we can argue about why that happened. 1024 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 1: But certainly she has not. She's only experienced prosperity in 1025 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 1: her in you know, as general, in society, in her life. 1026 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,040 Speaker 1: It's often claimed that millennials have lower earning, fewer assets, 1027 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: and less wealth. You right, David. Why is this? Mostly 1028 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: it's because they get to go to college. You know, 1029 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: in my grandfather's day or even my dad's day, a 1030 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,560 Speaker 1: lot of people didn't go to college. Most people, the 1031 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:29,520 Speaker 1: vast majority of people didn't go. They went out and 1032 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,440 Speaker 1: got jobs after high school, and they got married after 1033 01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: high school, and they started to accumulate assets of some sort. 1034 01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,080 Speaker 1: Now millennials get married much later, and they go to college, 1035 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,120 Speaker 1: and they have loans for that college. In the long run, 1036 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,880 Speaker 1: they will have more early on in their lives as 1037 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,000 Speaker 1: young people. They don't have as much if we just 1038 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, add up the numbers, which is a silly 1039 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,480 Speaker 1: way to look at the world. And also, you know 1040 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:55,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, especially in Gen X 1041 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: or older went and got bought houses, you know, out 1042 01:01:58,000 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 1: in suburbs and things of that nature. Young people to 1043 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 1: day they like to live in urban areas that are 1044 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,120 Speaker 1: super expensive and they pay rents. So it's just a 1045 01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:07,040 Speaker 1: different world. And most of those most of the reasons 1046 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,400 Speaker 1: are their own choices, not some societal you know problem. 1047 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:15,200 Speaker 1: Isn't it interesting that there's always this tendency in it, 1048 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,440 Speaker 1: particularly in the news business, which I know you've been 1049 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:19,400 Speaker 1: in for for quite a while, David, longer than I have. 1050 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:23,440 Speaker 1: There's a tendency to you know, not just not just 1051 01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,560 Speaker 1: the most basic. If it bleeds, it leads, and you 1052 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,840 Speaker 1: know people, Yeah, people like stories of death, fear, catastrophe, 1053 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,800 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But also just in politics, 1054 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,760 Speaker 1: if you want people to pay attention to you, you 1055 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,840 Speaker 1: really have to focus I feel like ninety percent of 1056 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 1: your energy on how messed up everything is all the time, 1057 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:44,840 Speaker 1: and the moment you try to say to somebody, look, 1058 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 1: we got problems, right, like things things are bad, like 1059 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 1: there are issues with our healthcare system. That that that annoy me, 1060 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:54,520 Speaker 1: But we also have a pretty amazing healthcare system. Nobody 1061 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,200 Speaker 1: wants to hear it. I don't know. I feel like 1062 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,000 Speaker 1: this is be or right now that's ever been for 1063 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 1: anyone ever in the world world, for you right here today. 1064 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,600 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you specifically or me specifically, just in general, 1065 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, And I think people understand that, and maybe 1066 01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 1: they shouldn't write. I mean, no one cares about that 1067 01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 1: kind of context, I guess, but I've always reminded, just 1068 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,400 Speaker 1: because you mentioned about the media. Years ago, I was 1069 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,760 Speaker 1: at a newspaper and the gas prices had sort of 1070 01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,080 Speaker 1: gone up for whatever reason, and an editor told me 1071 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,560 Speaker 1: I should probably go out to one of the gas staitions, 1072 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 1: find some you know, old lady or something and talked 1073 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 1: her about how terrible these gas prices are. And I 1074 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,520 Speaker 1: wrote a column about how gas prices. The popcorn that 1075 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:32,840 Speaker 1: you buy at the movie theater costs more than the 1076 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: gas that you buy, and you should be happy that 1077 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,480 Speaker 1: gas is so cheap. And that's the thing go over 1078 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 1: too well, because it's not the sort of thing people 1079 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 1: want to hear. They want to hear how they're suffering 1080 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 1: and how hard it is for them, and those are 1081 01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:46,000 Speaker 1: the things that people click on. Unfortunately, I always remember this, 1082 01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:47,760 Speaker 1: I can't remember the context of it. It there was 1083 01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,800 Speaker 1: this lecture or it was a speech. Maybe he's in 1084 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: an interview years ago with Michael Crichton, who I've always 1085 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 1: liked because his books kind of got me interested in 1086 01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,280 Speaker 1: books when I was a kid. You know, he was 1087 01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 1: the break in the damn for me. You know. I 1088 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,440 Speaker 1: read Your Ass Park, and then Congo and then Sphere 1089 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 1: and then Rising Sun. I just read all these books 1090 01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:05,400 Speaker 1: one after another, you know. And I was in the 1091 01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 1: fourth or fifth grade, fifth grade, i think. And so 1092 01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,320 Speaker 1: I've always found him an interesting guy. And he talked 1093 01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 1: about how you know, and he was a bestselling author, 1094 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 1: wrote Er, the show that was the number one show 1095 01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,520 Speaker 1: on TV for years and years and years. And he 1096 01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,400 Speaker 1: said that he had been through this so many times 1097 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 1: in life that he knew better than to sort of 1098 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:22,960 Speaker 1: think about it to get or you know, to try 1099 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 1: it again. But he said, if you go to a 1100 01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,439 Speaker 1: cocktail party. This is one of these cocktail party things, 1101 01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,959 Speaker 1: But if you go to cocktail party and you tell 1102 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 1: people just a story of how how scary and terrible 1103 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 1: things are, people can't people all want to hear. I mean, 1104 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,160 Speaker 1: they just crowd around you and they want, well, really 1105 01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,360 Speaker 1: that's going to happen, that's you know ooh. He says, 1106 01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,080 Speaker 1: if you go to a cocktail party, in your approach 1107 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:46,440 Speaker 1: to life is that things are actually pretty good and 1108 01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,480 Speaker 1: things are getting better. And he says, not only do 1109 01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 1: people not want to hear it, they get angry at 1110 01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,800 Speaker 1: you because you don't understand how bad it is. Yeah, 1111 01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:56,960 Speaker 1: when I write how great things are now, if I 1112 01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 1: every quantifiable measure possible, we prove that things are better, 1113 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,200 Speaker 1: are less poverty, everything, they get mad at you. They 1114 01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,200 Speaker 1: send you mail, They're mad, They're mad that you're not 1115 01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:07,440 Speaker 1: because I think they feel like maybe you're not taking 1116 01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 1: the problem seriously or dismissing it, which I don't think 1117 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,560 Speaker 1: you should do either. I'm not dismissing that there are 1118 01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,720 Speaker 1: poor people and we shouldn't help them. I'm just telling 1119 01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,160 Speaker 1: you there are few poor people in the world now 1120 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,800 Speaker 1: than ever, and that a lot of good things are happening. Look, 1121 01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,320 Speaker 1: I talk, I mean, you know, one of the one 1122 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,520 Speaker 1: of the things that that is true about other news 1123 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:25,480 Speaker 1: or analysis is that I talk about the problems that 1124 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 1: are out there because I want to address them, fix them, 1125 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 1: and also people, you know, we don't need to spend 1126 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,120 Speaker 1: a lot of time inherently on what it's going great, 1127 01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 1: because it's going great. So I do think that there's 1128 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 1: a natural bias toward covering issues that are problematic. But 1129 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 1: I just also think it's funny that AOC is so 1130 01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 1: mindless that she's just like, we've never experienced prosperity, and 1131 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,920 Speaker 1: that's a that's a patently stupid thing to say. She 1132 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,000 Speaker 1: just tweeted something today, I forget it. Specifically, she had 1133 01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 1: like four points. Each of them was completely made up. 1134 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,600 Speaker 1: You know. Another point she once made that made me 1135 01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 1: laugh was that people are dying. She was, I think 1136 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 1: you're sort of yelling this in Congress. People are dying 1137 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: from the weather all over the world. Meanwhile, over the 1138 01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 1: last one hundred years, extreme weather related debts have plummeted, plummeted. 1139 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 1: People don't understand how often, you know, Americans and others 1140 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:17,040 Speaker 1: would die because of the heat or the cold, you know, 1141 01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,280 Speaker 1: and they don't anymore. I don't think they understand. They 1142 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,440 Speaker 1: think that every weather event is that's the first time 1143 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 1: this has ever had, you know, hurricanes, it's the first 1144 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,919 Speaker 1: time we've had this sort of weather. It's just nonsensical. 1145 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 1: And we've only been measuring these things for maybe one 1146 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,840 Speaker 1: hundred years is four billion years old. It's just funny. 1147 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:35,920 Speaker 1: So guys, if you're ever having a down day, just 1148 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 1: email Harsani and he'll explain to you how everything's actually 1149 01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:42,240 Speaker 1: pretty good. So there you go. The piece is Millennials, 1150 01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,480 Speaker 1: the most prosperous generation that's ever lived, and basically the 1151 01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:47,360 Speaker 1: world is pretty good, folks, it's all gonna be. Okay, 1152 01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 1: that's your Friday, your Friday positivity dump, mister David Harsani. 1153 01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 1: Always your pleasure, sir, have a great weekend, you too, anytime, team, 1154 01:06:55,200 --> 01:07:01,600 Speaker 1: we'll be right back. What I think is that we 1155 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,919 Speaker 1: are committed to policies that make make American lives better. 1156 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:09,640 Speaker 1: And um, we're actually talking about something substantive. We're not 1157 01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: calling anyone names. People say tea Party of the Left, 1158 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,480 Speaker 1: and I find this phrase very interesting, this phrasing very 1159 01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 1: interesting because the grounding of the Tea Party was xenophobia, 1160 01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 1: the underpinnings of white supremacy. Okay, right there, we got 1161 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,600 Speaker 1: we gotta stop AOC right there, we gotta stop. This 1162 01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,320 Speaker 1: is what we're up against, folks. We're just about improving 1163 01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,880 Speaker 1: people's lives, and like, we don't call people names, unlike 1164 01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:43,720 Speaker 1: those stupid white supremacist xenophobe people. She's such an idiot, 1165 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 1: I don't I mean Democrats should be ashamed. I mean 1166 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 1: they're not ashamed. They should be ashamed though, because she 1167 01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 1: is an absolute buffoon, and she is the most powerful 1168 01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: this this twenty nine year old no nothing, is the 1169 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:03,600 Speaker 1: most powerful Democrat politician in terms of messaging and media 1170 01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:06,200 Speaker 1: coverage in the country right now. She can get more 1171 01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:11,000 Speaker 1: attention with one tweet or one statement, one you know, 1172 01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:16,320 Speaker 1: green new deal released from her office than any single 1173 01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:20,160 Speaker 1: presidential contender right now on the Democrat side. She has 1174 01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,000 Speaker 1: a complete lack of self awareness, a complete lack of 1175 01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 1: the understanding of her limitations, and isn't isn't gracious at all. 1176 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 1: And I think that that's you know, you see this 1177 01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,639 Speaker 1: on the left is that they're little radicals and they 1178 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 1: don't have humility. They don't have an understanding of why 1179 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:43,000 Speaker 1: other people feel the way they do and why maybe 1180 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 1: there's a need to at least show, even if you 1181 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,360 Speaker 1: disagree strong with the other side, showing some respect to 1182 01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: their ideas. You know, she's a person who's coming along. 1183 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,599 Speaker 1: And the ideas that she's promoting, never mind, are stupid 1184 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:58,439 Speaker 1: and not feasible, but they're new, and the ideas that 1185 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,280 Speaker 1: she wants to supplant are trying and true. When we're 1186 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,120 Speaker 1: talking about things like capitalism, we're talking about you know, 1187 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:07,840 Speaker 1: contracts and rule of law, and these are these have 1188 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:10,280 Speaker 1: been around for a long time for a good reason. 1189 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,600 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that they shouldn't get that you 1190 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,040 Speaker 1: can't debate them or they can't be adjusted. But she 1191 01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 1: doesn't even understand why it is that there are people 1192 01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,280 Speaker 1: who want to conserve what is good and functions well 1193 01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 1: in our society. She just thinks it's all racism, xenophobia, 1194 01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,679 Speaker 1: you know, white male privilege, all that kind of stuff. 1195 01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:37,840 Speaker 1: Uc Oh, she said this too, Play seven what. I'm 1196 01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,679 Speaker 1: twenty nine, I'm the youngest woman to ever be elected 1197 01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,679 Speaker 1: United States Congress. I have plenty of time to learn, 1198 01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,720 Speaker 1: and I'm not afraid to make mistakes and iterate in 1199 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 1: public either. And frankly, if the mistakes that I'm making 1200 01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:55,240 Speaker 1: are just a one off, like rhetorical thing, you correct it, 1201 01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,719 Speaker 1: acknowledge it, and move on. At least I'm not trying 1202 01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:02,440 Speaker 1: to cage children the border and inject them with drugs. 1203 01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:06,040 Speaker 1: That's not a mistake. That is a deliberate policy. To 1204 01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,639 Speaker 1: attack people based on their national origin, that's not a mistake. 1205 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:16,200 Speaker 1: That's just hatred, that's just cruelty. That's just wrong. This 1206 01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:19,280 Speaker 1: is what we're up against. I don't know if she 1207 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,160 Speaker 1: really believes that, but I think she does believe all 1208 01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 1: the crazy stuff that she said there. I think she 1209 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 1: does believe that the policy of separating families at the 1210 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,519 Speaker 1: border because what they're doing is illegal, and that's what 1211 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 1: you do when people break the law. You know, if 1212 01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:38,400 Speaker 1: mom is driving home drunk and has the kids in 1213 01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,519 Speaker 1: the backseat, you know what happens. Mom and the kids 1214 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,640 Speaker 1: get separated. That is the law for everybody else. But 1215 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,880 Speaker 1: if you don't really believe that crossing into the country 1216 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,880 Speaker 1: is illegal just because you say so, well then there's 1217 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,120 Speaker 1: no justification for separating these families, of course, and that 1218 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:54,479 Speaker 1: is the position that she takes. But to suggest that 1219 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,400 Speaker 1: it comes out of sadism and cruelty and because of 1220 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:03,559 Speaker 1: national origin, that's just it's a smear. But this is 1221 01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:07,519 Speaker 1: what she does and she is. But that whole thing 1222 01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,920 Speaker 1: about how she's going to iterate in public, I have 1223 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,920 Speaker 1: not heard her in any way stepped back from some 1224 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,960 Speaker 1: of the stupid stuff she said, correct it. And we 1225 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,720 Speaker 1: should all be troubled that somebody who is so ignorant 1226 01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:26,400 Speaker 1: and so incapable of formulating any kind of coherent policy 1227 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 1: on anything is is ascending in this way in this country. 1228 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 1: And I really I think that. On the one hand, 1229 01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:37,519 Speaker 1: I do mock her because she's deserving of mockery, but 1230 01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 1: she's also a dangerous harbinger. I think of the leftism 1231 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:44,760 Speaker 1: to come, especially if we hit some rocky times in 1232 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:48,679 Speaker 1: the economy, which I believe are not far away at all. 1233 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:55,599 Speaker 1: Even if I knew for certain that I was going 1234 01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:59,080 Speaker 1: to run for president back in Thanksgiving, my intention in 1235 01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,360 Speaker 1: the beginning, if run, would be the last person to 1236 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:06,800 Speaker 1: announce hi uh, and so everyone else through day, and 1237 01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 1: then I get a shot and then off to the races. 1238 01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:15,880 Speaker 1: I would find it a fascinating exercise to just ask 1239 01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,840 Speaker 1: people that, because all the polls show that was Biden, 1240 01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,280 Speaker 1: of course, and all the polls show him at the 1241 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:27,160 Speaker 1: top of the Democrat pack, and there's now eighteen, maybe 1242 01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,760 Speaker 1: nineteen people who have said they're running for president, even 1243 01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:33,439 Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell. I mean, if Eric Swalwell is gonna run 1244 01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:37,360 Speaker 1: for president on the Democrat ticket. I might as well run. Yeah, 1245 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 1: maybe I'll maybe I'll just just for giggles, why not, 1246 01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,400 Speaker 1: I'll just change my party affiliation and just run as 1247 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 1: a Democrat. It'd be so fun. And he's being hey me, 1248 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,840 Speaker 1: and I'm still wokeing like whatever that you can just 1249 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:52,160 Speaker 1: take all your all your waite privilege and your social injustice, 1250 01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 1: seeing like, why don't we just redistribute the wealth? Me? 1251 01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,640 Speaker 1: And and you know I could. I could be a 1252 01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:59,800 Speaker 1: great I'd be a great fake Lib. I could do it. 1253 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,200 Speaker 1: I should probably create a fake Lib character. I could 1254 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:05,400 Speaker 1: have mock debates with here on the show. Um you 1255 01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,760 Speaker 1: know who just use all these all this made up terminology. 1256 01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 1: And you know I would. I would insist because I 1257 01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:20,240 Speaker 1: identify as as you know, Vigo the space Lord Ninja Master. 1258 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:22,559 Speaker 1: That that's what everyone have to call me, because that's 1259 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,559 Speaker 1: how I identify man as Vigo the Space Lord Ninja Master. 1260 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 1: But you know this is this is a moment where 1261 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:32,880 Speaker 1: when you look at the Democrat field, you see one there. 1262 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:36,120 Speaker 1: It's just a lot of people that are it's bizarre 1263 01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,320 Speaker 1: that they would ever think that they could win. But 1264 01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:42,840 Speaker 1: why why would anyone vote for Biden? I really mean this, 1265 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: What is the appeal of this guy? I've never seen it. 1266 01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,679 Speaker 1: I understand why people would vote if you're a Democrat, 1267 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,479 Speaker 1: If if I'm putting on my woke hat and pretending 1268 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:57,639 Speaker 1: to be a leftist for a moment, I get why 1269 01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:02,400 Speaker 1: people would from that perspective vote for some of these individuals. 1270 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:06,720 Speaker 1: I even understand why they'd vote for Betto because like 1271 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 1: he's always wearing a blue shirt and he just wants 1272 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,800 Speaker 1: the whole country to come together and embrace, and he'll 1273 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,960 Speaker 1: be the vessel for that embrace. I understand these things. 1274 01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: Biden to me, I've said it from the gut. He's 1275 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:25,519 Speaker 1: such a mediocrity. And then he's obviously got this weird, 1276 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:30,439 Speaker 1: handsy creep master thing going on here play fifteen, and 1277 01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 1: I hope I wasn't taken that way, but there was. 1278 01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 1: You know, I literally thinking is in combing them on me? 1279 01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 1: I think everybody else to make sure that if you 1280 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:49,839 Speaker 1: embrace someone, if you touch someone, it's with their consent, 1281 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,519 Speaker 1: regardless of your intentions, even if you're trying to bring solace, 1282 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,559 Speaker 1: you've been trying to welcome them, and it's it's my 1283 01:14:57,640 --> 01:15:04,040 Speaker 1: responsibility to do that. Okay, maybe we can move on. 1284 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,480 Speaker 1: But I've been saying it all along. It's not conservatives 1285 01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:10,200 Speaker 1: that are quote pouncing here. It's not conservatives that are 1286 01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:12,519 Speaker 1: saying Biden's the old creepster weirdo. I mean, we're having 1287 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:13,760 Speaker 1: some fun with him, being like he's kind of a 1288 01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,760 Speaker 1: creepy weirdo. But this is really a civil war you're 1289 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,880 Speaker 1: seeing this. This is a they're using Biden as a 1290 01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:24,800 Speaker 1: proxy for power within the Democrat Party because Biden's very 1291 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,640 Speaker 1: much a part of the old establishment. Just because he 1292 01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:32,880 Speaker 1: connected himself to Obama, just because he's attached to Obama 1293 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,200 Speaker 1: as his vice president, doesn't mean that he is of 1294 01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 1: the Obama wing of the Democrat Party. Really, he's not 1295 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:46,800 Speaker 1: a progressive. He's an old school Pelosi Clinton Democrat political 1296 01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:53,600 Speaker 1: machine operative. That's what he is. And there, I think is, 1297 01:15:54,520 --> 01:15:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, you're you're seeing some of this happening here, 1298 01:15:56,920 --> 01:16:00,479 Speaker 1: and there are people that want to establish themselves as 1299 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:04,120 Speaker 1: on the more woke side of this, including people that 1300 01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,479 Speaker 1: used to be you know, ready for her, on the 1301 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,240 Speaker 1: Hillary side of things. They want to they see where 1302 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,240 Speaker 1: this party, the Democrat Party's trending, they want to be 1303 01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:15,000 Speaker 1: in good with the with the hard left. Here's I've 1304 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,640 Speaker 1: never heard of this person before, but Jess McIntosh, who 1305 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,760 Speaker 1: was a senior advisor for Hillary Clinton. Although I feel 1306 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,840 Speaker 1: like everyone's a senior advisor. R is anyone a junior advisor? 1307 01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:25,640 Speaker 1: Is a an every appear on TV. I was a 1308 01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:27,840 Speaker 1: junior advisor. I was like, you know, seventh man on 1309 01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,000 Speaker 1: the ape Man Deal team. But I'm here, I'm gonna 1310 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:36,120 Speaker 1: talk about everyone's a senior advisor. Here's what Hillary advisor 1311 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,879 Speaker 1: Jess McIntosh had to say about Biden in his apology 1312 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 1: at Play seventeen. Yeah. I mean I think he's he's 1313 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 1: got to take responsibility. I think that's what women are 1314 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,400 Speaker 1: waiting to hear him do that. This excuse that that 1315 01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 1: societal norms have changed just doesn't wash. I mean that 1316 01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:55,120 Speaker 1: that sort of paternal behavior towards women in a professional 1317 01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,519 Speaker 1: setting has been making women feel uncomfortable for generations. The 1318 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,200 Speaker 1: only societal norm that has changed is that men seem 1319 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:05,840 Speaker 1: to be taking us seriously when we complain about it now. 1320 01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,320 Speaker 1: So the idea that this behavior used to be okay 1321 01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,760 Speaker 1: and now it's not just really doesn't wash. I see 1322 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:17,559 Speaker 1: an interesting nuance here, which is that she's claiming that 1323 01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,000 Speaker 1: now women are taken seriously in the context of the 1324 01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 1: Biden discussion when they complain. But you'll note that women 1325 01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:29,280 Speaker 1: didn't complain before about Biden. I have not seen and 1326 01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 1: I could be wrong here, but I have not seen 1327 01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:35,160 Speaker 1: a woman who come forward who claimed that she tried 1328 01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:38,080 Speaker 1: to make a big issue of this. I mean, maybe 1329 01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,479 Speaker 1: she told some people and he's a creepy weirdo, but 1330 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,240 Speaker 1: but you know, this was not I've never seen. I 1331 01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,160 Speaker 1: never saw a story about this during the Obama years. 1332 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:49,559 Speaker 1: Nobody went to a journalist. Nobody wanted in the social 1333 01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,840 Speaker 1: media era where there are all these people that they 1334 01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 1: kept it quiet. They kept it very, very quiet. You've 1335 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 1: seen this with immediate time and again that they you know, 1336 01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 1: this is just another version of Oh, I'm I'm in 1337 01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 1: the press corps, I'm a photographer, and Obama is shaking 1338 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:14,040 Speaker 1: hands with um yeah, with with with Lewis Farrakhan, and 1339 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:15,920 Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to see that. So I'm just 1340 01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:21,160 Speaker 1: gonna hide that photos, just gonna hide that. You know. 1341 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,280 Speaker 1: That's which you know, did happen in during the two 1342 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 1: thousand and eighty thousand and nine election. That's a problem. 1343 01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,559 Speaker 1: I mean This is why they're not purveyors of truth. 1344 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:33,400 Speaker 1: There are people that are activists that are trying to 1345 01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 1: push a certain narrative, and they suppressed Biden's creepiness because 1346 01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,840 Speaker 1: he was useful. He was part of the team. The 1347 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 1: thing with Democrats is that if you're on their team, 1348 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,000 Speaker 1: there is no you know, if you're useful to them 1349 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,280 Speaker 1: more so than on their team, even there is no 1350 01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:52,400 Speaker 1: principle that they will hold sacred. There's nothing they're unwilling 1351 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,920 Speaker 1: to violate or do to protect you. But the moment 1352 01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:57,639 Speaker 1: you're not useful to them, they're not big on they're 1353 01:18:57,640 --> 01:18:59,400 Speaker 1: not big on loyalty. You know, if you stand in 1354 01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:02,639 Speaker 1: the way, all of a sudden, you find yourself in 1355 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:06,479 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of trouble. But you know, these the 1356 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:08,880 Speaker 1: woman who came forward, the first one, Flora's, she says 1357 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,320 Speaker 1: that it was a political calculation, and I'm at least 1358 01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,320 Speaker 1: find it, I find it refreshing that she had the 1359 01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,000 Speaker 1: honesty to say that. But that's what she said. It 1360 01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 1: was a political calculation to do this. And yeah, you 1361 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:27,439 Speaker 1: don't say you don't say it, sure it sure as 1362 01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:31,040 Speaker 1: heck was. So I don't think that Biden is going 1363 01:19:31,080 --> 01:19:33,000 Speaker 1: to be the This is just my take on it, 1364 01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,080 Speaker 1: But I don't think that Biden is going to be 1365 01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:39,720 Speaker 1: the nominee. I really don't see it happening. For the Democrats, 1366 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:46,280 Speaker 1: they just they're they're gone so far left that they 1367 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:51,840 Speaker 1: are unable to have this old, kind of croniest, corporatist, 1368 01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,559 Speaker 1: boring white dude Joe Biden as their next candidate. They're 1369 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,920 Speaker 1: just not going to do it. So very few, very 1370 01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:00,840 Speaker 1: few of you, I think, will care about this, but 1371 01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,240 Speaker 1: I find it of note the White House Correspondence dinner, 1372 01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:07,479 Speaker 1: which I will I will not attend. I will not 1373 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,040 Speaker 1: go to. I don't care what year, I don't care 1374 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,120 Speaker 1: what's Nope, it's a clown show and not in a 1375 01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 1: fun way. Uh. This is what Trump said about the 1376 01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 1: the correspondence dinner here in DC play eleven. Are you 1377 01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:25,559 Speaker 1: going to find that you're gonna hold a rally? I'm 1378 01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:29,479 Speaker 1: gonna hold a rally. Yeah, because the dinner is so 1379 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,639 Speaker 1: faring and so negative that we're gonna hold a very 1380 01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:36,920 Speaker 1: positive rally. And so we haven't determined. We have about 1381 01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,800 Speaker 1: three sights. Everybody wants it, it'll be a big one. 1382 01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:44,560 Speaker 1: But the correspondent sinner is too negative. I like positive 1383 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:50,200 Speaker 1: things today. I gotta say that whenever I'm having a 1384 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:51,960 Speaker 1: day where I say, oh, man, Trump, you know, the 1385 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 1: agenda is stalled, and there are parts of what's going 1386 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 1: on that really do frustrate me. I just have to 1387 01:20:57,160 --> 01:21:03,320 Speaker 1: remind myself that Trump's ability to goad and poke at 1388 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:07,880 Speaker 1: and agitate the media is just amazing. I mean, Trump 1389 01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,599 Speaker 1: really reminds me of you know that scene in die 1390 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,880 Speaker 1: Hard where Holly John McClain played by of course, Bruce Willis. 1391 01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:20,559 Speaker 1: John McClain's wife sees the weird Swedish guy who loses 1392 01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:22,679 Speaker 1: his brother in the movie, and he comes in where 1393 01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,960 Speaker 1: the hostage is being held and he he smashes a 1394 01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 1: bunch of things and she and the wife smiles, so 1395 01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,720 Speaker 1: she goes, only John could drive someone that crazy, you 1396 01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:34,360 Speaker 1: know about about Bruce Willis's character. That's how I feel 1397 01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,720 Speaker 1: about Trump with the media all the time. I mean, 1398 01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:38,800 Speaker 1: he's amazing. I know Trump is still in the fight. 1399 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:42,479 Speaker 1: I know it's okay because only Trump can drive the 1400 01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:49,800 Speaker 1: media so completely insane. Exactly. They're so used to being 1401 01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 1: able to shut everybody else down, terrify them into silence, 1402 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, induce them to abandon their principles and sell 1403 01:21:56,880 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 1: out and Trump just he just keep crushing him and 1404 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:08,439 Speaker 1: I do love him for it.

First of all, 1420 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,760 Speaker 1: what is your I haven't even seen this yet, so 1421 01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that John has his hand on 1422 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,040 Speaker 1: the drop butt in case things get crazy. But what 1423 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:05,320 Speaker 1: is your take on creepy Joe Biden, the hair sniffing, 1424 01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 1: the shoulder massaging. You know, I'm like, how do I 1425 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:11,760 Speaker 1: get some of that? I got ten shoulders? Well, what's 1426 01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,200 Speaker 1: going on? What do you think about all this? You know, 1427 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 1: to be honest, when it first started and I saw 1428 01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,360 Speaker 1: all the picture collages and things like that, I kind 1429 01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:22,840 Speaker 1: of cringed a little. But then I thought, you know, 1430 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,439 Speaker 1: I know old people like that, especially generationally. I know 1431 01:23:26,560 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 1: people of that generation. They're really just they're they're just 1432 01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,280 Speaker 1: handsy people. That's this. They were brought up that way. 1433 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,160 Speaker 1: That's how they are. And I don't like one thing 1434 01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,240 Speaker 1: I really don't like, and I don't like gossip, and 1435 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:40,439 Speaker 1: I don't like making accusations of pervert to people and 1436 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:42,439 Speaker 1: stuff like. I think that's I think that can get 1437 01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:46,040 Speaker 1: pretty ugly. So that's where I was. And then I 1438 01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:51,519 Speaker 1: saw a video, not pictures, video compilation of all the 1439 01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:55,920 Speaker 1: c SPAN videos of him swearing in congressmen and their 1440 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:59,400 Speaker 1: family and he's there with their wives and their young 1441 01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:04,759 Speaker 1: daughters lots of the time, and it made my skin crawl. Dude, 1442 01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:07,639 Speaker 1: that that is more than just a man who likes 1443 01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: to have his hands on people. There would be little girls, 1444 01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, almost trying to pull them away, and he 1445 01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:16,879 Speaker 1: like holds them back. Then he's nuzzling into their ears 1446 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:21,439 Speaker 1: and hands wrapped not just on the shoulders, around the fronts. 1447 01:24:21,600 --> 01:24:26,120 Speaker 1: We're getting really close to inappropriate. Dude, something I haven't 1448 01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 1: seen that video. This is this is even creepier than 1449 01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:31,280 Speaker 1: I realized it was. I'm not kidding, man. I was 1450 01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:34,320 Speaker 1: completely on the I'll just let him go. He's kind 1451 01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:36,040 Speaker 1: of a hand the old man train. And then I 1452 01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:39,240 Speaker 1: saw videotape, not still pictures which people can do things with, 1453 01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,840 Speaker 1: videotape from c SPAN and it was a compilation and 1454 01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,080 Speaker 1: it was the creepiest thinking thing I have ever seen. 1455 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,320 Speaker 1: Like I thought, boy, that that's a predator. Now, why 1456 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,000 Speaker 1: why is it Wow going pulling out the P word 1457 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 1: for for old Man Biden on this one, because because Jesse, 1458 01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:56,960 Speaker 1: you know, one part of this that I think people 1459 01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:00,439 Speaker 1: want to just skip right past, and they really can't, 1460 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:02,639 Speaker 1: or they shouldn't be able to, is that this stuff 1461 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:06,720 Speaker 1: was going on in truly and literally full view of 1462 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:09,960 Speaker 1: the press for eight years of the Obama administration. And 1463 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:14,799 Speaker 1: you'll notice that Obama, both Barack and Michelle very quiet 1464 01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 1: on this one very quiet. But I have heard and 1465 01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,200 Speaker 1: this is just the rumor. But I've heard this now 1466 01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,519 Speaker 1: from two different sources of mine that say these Biden 1467 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,599 Speaker 1: rumors are coming from the Obama camp, that that's why 1468 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,120 Speaker 1: they're getting so much traction, and they're getting put in 1469 01:25:31,160 --> 01:25:34,360 Speaker 1: the media so much that only Obama's people hold the 1470 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:37,599 Speaker 1: power to plant a story in that many different media sources. 1471 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:40,240 Speaker 1: How about, it's definitely coming from a left. I mean, 1472 01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:43,760 Speaker 1: this is Democrat on Democrat warfare. This is not conservatives 1473 01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,920 Speaker 1: that made this thing a story. No, it's not. I'd 1474 01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,560 Speaker 1: heard the Biden people were convinced it was Bernie Sanders. 1475 01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:53,960 Speaker 1: But I heard twice today from people who, in my opinion, 1476 01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,360 Speaker 1: would know that they think almost they're almost positive this 1477 01:25:57,400 --> 01:26:00,960 Speaker 1: is coming from Obama. Joe Biden does not have Obama's backing. 1478 01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,479 Speaker 1: Obama has not said a word. If Joe Biden had 1479 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:07,080 Speaker 1: Barack Obama's backing, that would have been what he'd lead 1480 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:09,240 Speaker 1: with as he gets into this race. But he hasn't 1481 01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:12,080 Speaker 1: said a word. I think Obama's learning with Beto. Actually, 1482 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,040 Speaker 1: I also didn't get a chance to discuss you. Earlier 1483 01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,360 Speaker 1: in the week was Equal pay Day, and I thought 1484 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,400 Speaker 1: it was so funny. I saw this story. I think 1485 01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:21,400 Speaker 1: it was from I don't know, Time magazine or something, 1486 01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:25,080 Speaker 1: oh something like fifty percent of men think that equal 1487 01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:29,760 Speaker 1: payday is not a real problem. And I responded to 1488 01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:31,960 Speaker 1: do it. Well, that's because it's not a real problem. 1489 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,800 Speaker 1: But why does this persist? Jesse kellyo, And what do 1490 01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,000 Speaker 1: people need to know about equal pay day that we 1491 01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:41,000 Speaker 1: already have it? For one, that's already the law. There's 1492 01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:44,160 Speaker 1: not like some new law. You don't reassert something that's 1493 01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:47,200 Speaker 1: already the law. It's already the law that you're paid 1494 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,680 Speaker 1: equal for equal work in this country. And if you 1495 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:53,559 Speaker 1: break down the economics of it, it's already in effect, 1496 01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 1: meaning people women are making the same amount as men 1497 01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 1: who are working the same jobs in the same areas. 1498 01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,040 Speaker 1: It's just the fact. So it's all this is. It's 1499 01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,920 Speaker 1: like every other movement, but it's like the civil rights 1500 01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 1: movement has become it's like the meat too movement. Any 1501 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 1: movement that starts out for good reasons eventually turns into 1502 01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:16,000 Speaker 1: a gigantic scam and a grift for power and money. Oh, 1503 01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,400 Speaker 1: you mean like the Southern Poverty Law Center where they're 1504 01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:21,800 Speaker 1: sexually harassing people paying themselves huge salaries and just trying 1505 01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,200 Speaker 1: to smear conservatives on the weekends pretty much. I mean, 1506 01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:26,800 Speaker 1: that's oh yeah, oh yeah. And you know what, I 1507 01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 1: don't even want to act like this is just isolated 1508 01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:31,680 Speaker 1: and left. I'm not naming any names, but there are 1509 01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,400 Speaker 1: plenty of groups on the right that started out for 1510 01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,200 Speaker 1: good reasons or people that contribute to them for good reasons, 1511 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,800 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, five years later, it's a 1512 01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:43,160 Speaker 1: five oh one C three and the CEO makes a 1513 01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:45,599 Speaker 1: million bucks a year off of Grandma's sending in their 1514 01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:51,120 Speaker 1: social Security check. Tell me a bit about why Kevin 1515 01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:55,280 Speaker 1: Costner is the biggest and the best actor in would 1516 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:58,679 Speaker 1: you say like alive or all time? I mean, you're 1517 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:01,160 Speaker 1: you're like Kevin Costner super fan? And why is Kevin 1518 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:05,080 Speaker 1: Costner on your radar? Of all time? Absolutely? Of all time? 1519 01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 1: I watched that movie The Highwayman that's on Netflix. It's 1520 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,400 Speaker 1: about the Texas. I was gonna watch that this weekend. 1521 01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:13,600 Speaker 1: We didn't even coordinate this. That was that's actually my 1522 01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:15,720 Speaker 1: social life for the weekend is watching The Highwamen. Are 1523 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:20,480 Speaker 1: you telling me it's good? It's outstanding, gritty and outstanding 1524 01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 1: and accurate, And I mean scarily accurate. I actually know 1525 01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,160 Speaker 1: the Body and Clyde story really well. But beyond that, 1526 01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:31,200 Speaker 1: name an actor who is in more great movies. Thank 1527 01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 1: Kevin Costner. Think about Kevin Costner's resume, because people sneer 1528 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,320 Speaker 1: when you're saying it's the greatest of all time. In 1529 01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:40,519 Speaker 1: my opinion, no one can touch it. Maybe Denzel maybe 1530 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:43,560 Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio. Think about the movies Kevin cost has been in, 1531 01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:49,280 Speaker 1: Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, Team Tups, Robin Hood, Princess Thieves. 1532 01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:53,600 Speaker 1: It's a long, long, long list, A long list for 1533 01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:57,280 Speaker 1: the love of the game, a perfect World, the guys 1534 01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:58,880 Speaker 1: that got a lot of them in a lot of hits, 1535 01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:02,920 Speaker 1: Dances with the wool, who has more? Jesse Kelly. If 1536 01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:05,880 Speaker 1: I don't bring up water World though people at people 1537 01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,640 Speaker 1: gonna say that I'm going soft on you here, No, 1538 01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,720 Speaker 1: that's there, but here hear me out. Water World is 1539 01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 1: not a bad movie. We washed water World. You've seen 1540 01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,400 Speaker 1: water World? You maybe have seen it twice? I know, hi, 1541 01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:20,720 Speaker 1: I have. I have seen it a few I've seen 1542 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,200 Speaker 1: it a few times. Actually, am I gonna lie? I 1543 01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 1: enjoy it? It failed to meet expectations, but that doesn't 1544 01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:28,960 Speaker 1: mean it's a bad movie and we can't judge it 1545 01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:32,120 Speaker 1: a greatness of an actor on their stink bombs. Everyone 1546 01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:35,360 Speaker 1: points out Costner's water World. Look at any other actor 1547 01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:38,200 Speaker 1: you think belongs on that list above Costner and go 1548 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,800 Speaker 1: to their well. I think I think that you're taking 1549 01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,639 Speaker 1: a bold stance here, Jesse Kelly. Everybody you should listen 1550 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:48,559 Speaker 1: to my man Jesse Kelly on KPRC Houston. Follow him 1551 01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,720 Speaker 1: also on Twitter at Jesse Kelly The Literally Jesse Kelly. 1552 01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:53,120 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for I'm Matt. Have a great 1553 01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:55,439 Speaker 1: weekend and appreciate you joining us here in the Freedom Hunt. 1554 01:29:56,200 --> 01:30:02,000 Speaker 1: Be good brother. No party like a Team Buck party, 1555 01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:11,640 Speaker 1: because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got 1556 01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:28,280 Speaker 1: Bucks turned up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed, 1557 01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 1: it is Friday, so we'll do a double dose, double 1558 01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:37,120 Speaker 1: dose double trouble of the roll call, bubble, boil and 1559 01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:41,200 Speaker 1: trouble whatever it is from the I know I was 1560 01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:44,680 Speaker 1: supposed to be kind of a Macbeth reference, and some 1561 01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:46,880 Speaker 1: of you know that play much better than me. Let's 1562 01:30:46,920 --> 01:30:51,240 Speaker 1: get to it's Steven Hey. Buck started listening to your 1563 01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:56,120 Speaker 1: show just weeks ago. Honestly, water beds aren't all that great. 1564 01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:58,240 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the feeling 1565 01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:00,320 Speaker 1: of sleeping on top of water. By the way. Shields 1566 01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:03,800 Speaker 1: high shields out of you, Stephen. I believe you. On 1567 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:07,800 Speaker 1: the waterbeds, man, I just have always I've always been 1568 01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:11,919 Speaker 1: kind of curious. I have never experienced waterbed for myself. 1569 01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:15,639 Speaker 1: I do not think that it's something that I would 1570 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,240 Speaker 1: be particularly into. I was just telling the story today 1571 01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:23,479 Speaker 1: to some colleagues about the trip I went on when 1572 01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:27,200 Speaker 1: I was in grammar school and we went I went 1573 01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 1: to a Catholic school in New York, and we're on 1574 01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:33,360 Speaker 1: our eighth grade trip. We went on this this whale 1575 01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:38,360 Speaker 1: watching trip, and you know, we figured, oh, it's gonna 1576 01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:40,719 Speaker 1: be amazing because you see all these Nature Channel shows 1577 01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:43,519 Speaker 1: about whale watching, right, and you're just like, oh, look 1578 01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:47,880 Speaker 1: at the magnificent spam whale breaching the surface, you know, 1579 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:51,400 Speaker 1: and you see humpback whales leaping out of the ocean 1580 01:31:51,479 --> 01:31:54,519 Speaker 1: and all all kinds of stuff like that, Right, you 1581 01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:57,040 Speaker 1: think that that's that's not what whale watching usually is. 1582 01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:59,719 Speaker 1: Like those of you don't know, Usually you're on a boat, 1583 01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:03,639 Speaker 1: which already in the ocean is not freshwater boats. I'm 1584 01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:06,880 Speaker 1: cool I like. I like the water when it is freshwater, 1585 01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:10,680 Speaker 1: so rivers, lakes. I'm into all that ocean. If I 1586 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:16,160 Speaker 1: am within site of land, I'm good. The moment i 1587 01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:18,599 Speaker 1: am not within sight of land, I am not a fan. Right, 1588 01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,840 Speaker 1: So you see these nature documentaries, you think you're going 1589 01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:25,599 Speaker 1: to see these incredible breaches. Turns out humpback whales. Seeing 1590 01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:28,479 Speaker 1: them breach is actually very rare for most, like I 1591 01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:30,640 Speaker 1: mean not if you're studying them, but for people that 1592 01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:33,240 Speaker 1: go out to just see them, you tend not to 1593 01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:35,120 Speaker 1: get that lucky. And what you see is kind of 1594 01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:38,559 Speaker 1: a It looks like like like a couple of trash 1595 01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:40,720 Speaker 1: bags in the distance, like float to the surface for 1596 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:42,839 Speaker 1: a second and float down. Everyone goes, oh my gosh, 1597 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:46,040 Speaker 1: there it's a well. And and so that that part 1598 01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,719 Speaker 1: of it was disappointing. I don't think we I actually 1599 01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:51,360 Speaker 1: don't think we saw any whales. So there was that. 1600 01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:54,400 Speaker 1: But beyond that, and then then what they do on 1601 01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:57,280 Speaker 1: whale watching boats. And it was the fall, and it 1602 01:32:57,320 --> 01:33:00,160 Speaker 1: was up in New England and it was freezing. You know, 1603 01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,280 Speaker 1: I could have used a cup of chouda because it 1604 01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:06,599 Speaker 1: was very cold. And then they give you they give 1605 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:08,760 Speaker 1: you like fishing poles, as if that's gonna make it 1606 01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:10,800 Speaker 1: make it all better. You're not seeing whales, but maybe 1607 01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:14,000 Speaker 1: you're gonna like catch some scud off the side of 1608 01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:19,040 Speaker 1: the boat. And then people started getting seasick. And I 1609 01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:23,320 Speaker 1: gotta tell you that I was not the sickest, but 1610 01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:26,920 Speaker 1: I was getting there and being on a boat with 1611 01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:31,080 Speaker 1: forty thirteen year olds or fourteen year olds, half of 1612 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:33,439 Speaker 1: whom are tossing their cookies. It was like a nightmare 1613 01:33:33,439 --> 01:33:35,120 Speaker 1: that I will never forget. And I can't believe that 1614 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:38,280 Speaker 1: our teachers managed to make it through it. So I 1615 01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,519 Speaker 1: am not a I'm a landlubber, is what I'm trying 1616 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,280 Speaker 1: to say. I'm a land lubber. I wear boat shoes. 1617 01:33:44,840 --> 01:33:48,439 Speaker 1: It is an appropriation of nautical culture. I do not, 1618 01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:51,920 Speaker 1: in fact, enjoy the open ocean. I'm just saying, yeah, 1619 01:33:51,960 --> 01:33:53,840 Speaker 1: that's right. If it came down a navy or air force, 1620 01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:57,679 Speaker 1: I'd probably go air force, just because I'm okay with 1621 01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:04,080 Speaker 1: planes and not being on boats. Jim Rights, Hey, Buck, 1622 01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:06,240 Speaker 1: we met at SPAK. Let me know if you need 1623 01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:08,880 Speaker 1: an assistant when you travel to China. I was in 1624 01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:10,920 Speaker 1: Hong Kong a little while ago. My passport is up 1625 01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:13,400 Speaker 1: to date. Seriously, man, let me know. Well, Jim, thank 1626 01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:17,240 Speaker 1: you very much. We'll see if the Chinese consulate will 1627 01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:22,200 Speaker 1: approve my travel. It turns out that this can be 1628 01:34:22,240 --> 01:34:27,880 Speaker 1: a complicated matter when you are google able and XCIA 1629 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:31,800 Speaker 1: and nationally syndicated radio and TV personality is what comes 1630 01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:35,719 Speaker 1: up on the interwebs. So fingers crossed that this all 1631 01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:41,160 Speaker 1: actually goes through. It's been a little complicated, Carlole Rights. 1632 01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:43,559 Speaker 1: I was watching Tucker last night and he commented that 1633 01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:47,320 Speaker 1: perhaps some of the decisions Trump is making may mean 1634 01:34:47,400 --> 01:34:49,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to win the next election. While I 1635 01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:52,800 Speaker 1: would not blame him after these last few years, what 1636 01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:55,559 Speaker 1: do you think and do you think Schultz running would 1637 01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:58,240 Speaker 1: hurt the Republicans of the Democrats more? Love the show 1638 01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:04,280 Speaker 1: Shields High, Carla. I really mean this, and I know 1639 01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:07,400 Speaker 1: that it's a kind of alternate universe analysis. I would 1640 01:35:07,479 --> 01:35:10,000 Speaker 1: never run for president. I would never run for public office. 1641 01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:15,920 Speaker 1: I just don't have the mentality and the stomach for it. 1642 01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:19,639 Speaker 1: I would not want to be president, although I would 1643 01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,160 Speaker 1: be a badass president, we all know that. But I 1644 01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:25,720 Speaker 1: would not want to be president. I'd rather have the 1645 01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:28,080 Speaker 1: freedom that I do in my life. I mean, I 1646 01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:30,799 Speaker 1: didn't even like being a government bureaucrat. I can't imagine 1647 01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:33,559 Speaker 1: being in charge of the government. I know there's some 1648 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:38,040 Speaker 1: huge benefits leader of the free world mark on history. Obviously, 1649 01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,479 Speaker 1: afterwards you write a book or rather someone else writes 1650 01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:42,280 Speaker 1: it free, and you make millions of millions of dollars. 1651 01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:46,760 Speaker 1: But it's also very confining, and you have all these 1652 01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:48,920 Speaker 1: people that hate you, and you're going through all this stress. 1653 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,040 Speaker 1: If you look at George W. Bush, I mean he 1654 01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:55,000 Speaker 1: aged at triple speed over the course of his presidency. 1655 01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:57,800 Speaker 1: I mean he went into the presidency a guy who 1656 01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:01,479 Speaker 1: could probably bench two fifty and six minute miles, and 1657 01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:03,040 Speaker 1: by the end of it, I mean he was an 1658 01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,320 Speaker 1: old guy. I mean he was he was beaten down. 1659 01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:09,360 Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know. I couldn't pretend to 1660 01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:13,080 Speaker 1: tell you what Trump's mentality is when it comes to 1661 01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:17,679 Speaker 1: whether he would run again or not. You know, I 1662 01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:21,920 Speaker 1: can't tell you that exactly, I think. I mean, people 1663 01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:24,240 Speaker 1: said originally that he didn't want to win the election, 1664 01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:27,840 Speaker 1: and I just find that, I mean, that's an interesting theory, 1665 01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:30,639 Speaker 1: and we've never really gotten confirmation one way or the other, 1666 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 1: except for the fact that he managed to run so 1667 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,280 Speaker 1: effectively that he did win, which I think would be 1668 01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:41,599 Speaker 1: kind of hard. So yeah. And then as for Schultz 1669 01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:44,120 Speaker 1: running hurting the Republicans, I think it would definitely hurt 1670 01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:49,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats more because what this election, based on all 1671 01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:51,800 Speaker 1: the data, all the polling and everything we have so 1672 01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:54,360 Speaker 1: far and also previous elections, what it's going to come 1673 01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:59,920 Speaker 1: down to our white working class voters in the states 1674 01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:04,920 Speaker 1: that I always talk about, you know, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin, 1675 01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:08,800 Speaker 1: maybe Nevada. I mean, these are the states that are 1676 01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:14,080 Speaker 1: really in play in a meaningful way. And I think 1677 01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:16,559 Speaker 1: in those places, if you have, say a Bernie Sanders 1678 01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:20,760 Speaker 1: or a Joe Biden candidate, which right now those are 1679 01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:24,200 Speaker 1: the top two for the Democrats, there would be a 1680 01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:30,120 Speaker 1: fair amount of flight from Bernie Sanders to Schultz. Biden 1681 01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:32,840 Speaker 1: maybe not so much, but I think there are people 1682 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:38,320 Speaker 1: who just instinctually understand that a democratic socialist running for 1683 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 1: president United States is not something that would be good, 1684 01:37:42,880 --> 01:37:46,920 Speaker 1: That this would be problematic in many ways, so or 1685 01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:50,240 Speaker 1: winning at least would not be good. And what else 1686 01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:53,160 Speaker 1: did you ask? I think that's it? Oh, yeah, you 1687 01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:55,200 Speaker 1: asked if I think Trump wants to lose No. I 1688 01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 1: think Trump never wants to lose. I mean, that's not 1689 01:37:58,960 --> 01:38:02,040 Speaker 1: really in his nature to want to throw the match. 1690 01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:05,439 Speaker 1: He's a very competitive guy. But I'm sure this wears. 1691 01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:08,120 Speaker 1: This wears on him. I mean I think that you know, 1692 01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:10,200 Speaker 1: he's a guy who likes being prominent, and he's going 1693 01:38:10,240 --> 01:38:12,240 Speaker 1: to be super famous and prominent even when he stops 1694 01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:14,639 Speaker 1: being president. He's still going to have his Twitter account 1695 01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:17,919 Speaker 1: with sixty or eighty or whatever it is million followers. 1696 01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:19,880 Speaker 1: So he's still going to be able to do a 1697 01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:21,400 Speaker 1: lot of what he does right now if he wants to. 1698 01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:26,479 Speaker 1: He just won't be the leader of the free world. Oh. Next, 1699 01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:31,719 Speaker 1: next up here we have this is from Steve. Someone 1700 01:38:31,760 --> 01:38:35,040 Speaker 1: in the Trump administration needs to confirm that Supreme Court 1701 01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:39,320 Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg is still alive and working. I don't trust 1702 01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:42,280 Speaker 1: the pictures and videos. Get fingerprints and blood tests to 1703 01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:47,800 Speaker 1: prove the person's not an impostor. Um. Let's see start 1704 01:38:47,800 --> 01:38:49,720 Speaker 1: the approval process if it's not her, for the next 1705 01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:54,479 Speaker 1: constitutional conservative justice asap, because the anti Americans will delay 1706 01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,479 Speaker 1: and obstruct the process at every turn. Steve, I don't 1707 01:38:57,560 --> 01:38:59,880 Speaker 1: I do think that it is Justice Ginsburg. I don't 1708 01:38:59,880 --> 01:39:01,679 Speaker 1: know if you're messing with me or not. But it's 1709 01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:04,840 Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg. They're not. This is not like the movie, Dave. 1710 01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:07,599 Speaker 1: They did not find a person who looks exactly like 1711 01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:09,960 Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg to replace her. And I know I think 1712 01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:13,920 Speaker 1: you're kidding, although I can entirely tell from your your 1713 01:39:14,040 --> 01:39:18,360 Speaker 1: message here, so we'll see. But it is Justice Ginsburg 1714 01:39:18,479 --> 01:39:23,679 Speaker 1: and the bizarro cult around RBG that the Democrats have created. 1715 01:39:23,720 --> 01:39:25,640 Speaker 1: It just goes to show you that they can do 1716 01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:30,680 Speaker 1: that for anyone. The media has enough narrative power and 1717 01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:37,000 Speaker 1: left wing cohesiveness still that there's nothing that you know 1718 01:39:37,160 --> 01:39:40,320 Speaker 1: that they can convince people, at least some people of 1719 01:39:40,840 --> 01:39:44,519 Speaker 1: anything that they choose to. So there you have it. 1720 01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:47,880 Speaker 1: They can convince people that RBG is some kind of 1721 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:50,680 Speaker 1: a hero team. I'm gonna go into a just a 1722 01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:53,280 Speaker 1: brief breather here, Where to come back? When to finish 1723 01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:59,720 Speaker 1: strong on some more roll call like soft butter on 1724 01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,439 Speaker 1: warm toast. Time to spread some freedom coast to coast. 1725 01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:15,880 Speaker 1: It's time for roll call faksbook dot com, slash buck 1726 01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:19,200 Speaker 1: Sexton And remember all I want for Christmas, even though 1727 01:40:19,200 --> 01:40:24,680 Speaker 1: it's April, is for you to tell one of your friends, colleagues, 1728 01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:30,840 Speaker 1: fellow patriots, random dude that you're standing behind in line 1729 01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:33,439 Speaker 1: at CBS.

But what 1731 01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:39,880 Speaker 1: about me getting cash back? Nope, can't get cash back. 1732 01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:43,439 Speaker 1: Tell that person or any person to listen to the 1733 01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:46,080 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show to download it on iTunes, or to 1734 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:50,320 Speaker 1: listen live on the iHeart Radio app, or however you 1735 01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:53,200 Speaker 1: listen to podcasts. Because the podcast of the show is 1736 01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:59,240 Speaker 1: the bomba dot Com. Scott writes, Buck, You're always recommending 1737 01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:01,320 Speaker 1: books that sound something I want to read, but I'm 1738 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:03,960 Speaker 1: also always driving when I listen to you. Is there 1739 01:41:03,960 --> 01:41:05,519 Speaker 1: anywhere I can go to see a list of the 1740 01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:09,519 Speaker 1: books you recommended? Scott, You're one of many folks that 1741 01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:11,439 Speaker 1: have asked this, and the answer I have to give 1742 01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:14,759 Speaker 1: you is no. I do not have yet a place 1743 01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:20,200 Speaker 1: where I keep all of the recommendations of books that 1744 01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:21,640 Speaker 1: I make on this show, because it just kind of 1745 01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:23,840 Speaker 1: comes to me. Sometimes I tell people read this book, 1746 01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:27,280 Speaker 1: or read that book, or you know, I'm right now 1747 01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:30,960 Speaker 1: in the process of really figuring out what my next 1748 01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:32,960 Speaker 1: I usually line up three books at a time, and 1749 01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:34,720 Speaker 1: I try to get through all three before I line 1750 01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:38,759 Speaker 1: up another three that tends to be my way, and 1751 01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:43,040 Speaker 1: I'm kind of you know, I I have a problem too, 1752 01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:47,080 Speaker 1: where I refuse to abandon a book even when I should, right, 1753 01:41:47,160 --> 01:41:50,519 Speaker 1: even when it's clear that a certain book is not 1754 01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:54,439 Speaker 1: getting it done. I'm I'm gonna just plow through it. 1755 01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,280 Speaker 1: You know. Recently I tried to get I'm just gonna 1756 01:41:57,320 --> 01:41:58,960 Speaker 1: tell you I tried to get through Treasure Island because 1757 01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:00,799 Speaker 1: I find I never was a find it in school, 1758 01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:05,719 Speaker 1: and Robert Louis Stevenson, between Treasure Island and Doctor Jacqueline 1759 01:42:05,720 --> 01:42:09,519 Speaker 1: mister Hyde as two great classics of literature. I think 1760 01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:12,559 Speaker 1: Robert Lewis Stevenson's writing is kind of kind of whack. 1761 01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean, the story, the stories are really cool, but 1762 01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:19,160 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a slog to get through it. 1763 01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:22,320 Speaker 1: It's not but I had to finish it, so I did. 1764 01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:25,479 Speaker 1: But that's what I mean. I just I won't stop. 1765 01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,679 Speaker 1: And I did see someone pointing out today that Buddha 1766 01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:31,680 Speaker 1: judge and I can someone just can we get an 1767 01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:36,040 Speaker 1: official ruling on the guy's friggin name. I've heard Buddha Jedge, 1768 01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:41,800 Speaker 1: Buddha judge, budge whatever. Can we just get someone to 1769 01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:44,800 Speaker 1: explain how to say that guy's name, but I saw 1770 01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:49,200 Speaker 1: that he said that he liked James Joyce Ulysses and 1771 01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,479 Speaker 1: that's what That is. One of the all time classic 1772 01:42:51,479 --> 01:42:54,800 Speaker 1: books that people will say that they like, that they 1773 01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:58,640 Speaker 1: think they should like, but have not really read, and 1774 01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:01,320 Speaker 1: even if they've read it, they don't like it. But 1775 01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,200 Speaker 1: it's just personal branding. Oh I love you know, I 1776 01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:07,759 Speaker 1: love James Joyce. Another one is that I come across 1777 01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:11,120 Speaker 1: is The Power Broker. It's a biography of Robert Moses 1778 01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:15,000 Speaker 1: written by Caro and it is dense. I mean, it's 1779 01:43:15,080 --> 01:43:17,280 Speaker 1: very good, but people are always like, oh, I love 1780 01:43:17,360 --> 01:43:19,559 Speaker 1: The Power Broker. I'm like, really, you get all you 1781 01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:23,439 Speaker 1: get all the way through it? Yeah, Ulysses by James Joyce. 1782 01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:25,120 Speaker 1: I mean there are some others too. You could send 1783 01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:27,280 Speaker 1: me your thoughts on this one on Facebook. What are 1784 01:43:27,280 --> 01:43:30,599 Speaker 1: the books that people pretend to have read and everyone 1785 01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:33,320 Speaker 1: kind of knows that they haven't read it, but everyone 1786 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:34,800 Speaker 1: else wants to pretend that they've read it too. It 1787 01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:38,120 Speaker 1: is they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, that sounds like 1788 01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:41,680 Speaker 1: a book that I'm really into. I mean, oh, oh, 1789 01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:44,480 Speaker 1: here's a great one. This is a straight up bookshelf 1790 01:43:44,600 --> 01:43:48,599 Speaker 1: only book. Adam Smith The Wealth of Nations. Nobody has 1791 01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:51,720 Speaker 1: read that book. Okay.

It's it's literature signaling, folks. That's 1794 01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:01,800 Speaker 1: what it is, all right. You see, I got fired 1795 01:44:01,880 --> 01:44:10,360 Speaker 1: up about this. Ah William right, something long. Oh this 1796 01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:12,360 Speaker 1: is important. Don't read on air, okay, William, I will 1797 01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:14,800 Speaker 1: not read it on air. I'll read it to myself afterwards. 1798 01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:20,840 Speaker 1: Roberts writes, what about Betto's white privilege where he got 1799 01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,400 Speaker 1: off on multiple times when he got out of charges 1800 01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:26,559 Speaker 1: against him. That's what it would be called by anyone 1801 01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:32,040 Speaker 1: else or for anyone else, Robert, very interesting dynamic that 1802 01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:36,880 Speaker 1: is playing out in this Democrat primary is how the 1803 01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:43,000 Speaker 1: kind of push against whiteness and white privilege on the 1804 01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:47,919 Speaker 1: left for the next president is is very very apparent 1805 01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:51,120 Speaker 1: to me. You know, this is considered a knock on 1806 01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:54,240 Speaker 1: someone if if they're white, and you think about Buddha 1807 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:56,519 Speaker 1: Jedge and Bernie Sanders. Look, I don't care. I don't 1808 01:44:56,560 --> 01:44:59,360 Speaker 1: care what someone's sexual orientation is, what their skin color is, 1809 01:44:59,360 --> 01:45:02,920 Speaker 1: what they're really is. I would just like a competent 1810 01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:07,160 Speaker 1: person with a vision that is compatible with the future 1811 01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:08,920 Speaker 1: that I see for this country to be in a 1812 01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,800 Speaker 1: position of government power. That's it. You know, I don't care. 1813 01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:16,080 Speaker 1: The optics of the individual do not matter to me, 1814 01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:18,320 Speaker 1: but of course on the left, I think it's the 1815 01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:20,880 Speaker 1: most important thing about it. Candidate. I think that the 1816 01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:26,360 Speaker 1: leftists believe that those superficial characteristics are critical. But in 1817 01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:28,920 Speaker 1: the case of Bernie Sanders and Buddha Judge, Bernie Sanders 1818 01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:31,799 Speaker 1: would be the first Jewish president in the country's history. 1819 01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:35,679 Speaker 1: Buddha Judge would be the first gay president, in openly 1820 01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:40,519 Speaker 1: gay president in the country's history. And that doesn't counter 1821 01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:44,479 Speaker 1: as diversity in this conversation because they're white, And I 1822 01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:48,600 Speaker 1: think that's very it's very interesting window into the mindset 1823 01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:51,800 Speaker 1: of the left right now. It seems it strikes me, 1824 01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:54,280 Speaker 1: as you know, what are we supposed to take away 1825 01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:58,560 Speaker 1: from that? David next up here, Buckman, which is technically 1826 01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:03,000 Speaker 1: my name shields high like everyone else. The Smolette dismissal 1827 01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:05,880 Speaker 1: shocked me to the soul. But I have a theory 1828 01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:09,320 Speaker 1: to throw your way for discussion. Smolette's lawyer was named 1829 01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:13,360 Speaker 1: as a co conspirator in the Avanati extortion case. Did 1830 01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,639 Speaker 1: Jesse Smolette roll over on his own lawyer in a 1831 01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:21,840 Speaker 1: bigger case. That's the only explanation that makes sense. No, David, 1832 01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:25,800 Speaker 1: I maybe I can't tell you you're wrong, but I 1833 01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:28,720 Speaker 1: can tell you that no, Jesse Smolette is a protected 1834 01:46:29,560 --> 01:46:34,960 Speaker 1: a protected connected minority in Chicago, and that means that 1835 01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,280 Speaker 1: he got a different kind of justice, which is injustice, 1836 01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,920 Speaker 1: but great for him, bad for the system, and bad 1837 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,400 Speaker 1: for the rest of us to watch it play out. Team, 1838 01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:47,040 Speaker 1: I now can send you off onto the rest of 1839 01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:52,040 Speaker 1: your weekend with nothing but blue skies and happy days ahead. 1840 01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,400 Speaker 1: At least that's what I'm hoping for you. I'll be 1841 01:46:54,400 --> 01:46:56,760 Speaker 1: talking to you Monday and every day next week, same time, 1842 01:46:56,840 --> 01:46:59,240 Speaker 1: same place, shield Hie
