Speaker 1: You are entering the Freedom Hunt. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: freestyle Friday. In the Freedom Hunt. We have job numbers
Speaker 1: in Trump talking about what he's gonna do to get
Speaker 1: the border under control. The theories about the Muller cover
Speaker 1: up are already underway from the left. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: that and who controls the Democrat Party right now. Some
Speaker 1: interesting thoughts coming up from Howard Schultz, formerly of Starbucks.
Speaker 1: That and more on The Buck Sexton Show. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is
Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no
Speaker 1: mistake America, You're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show begins. Analysts, remember, no economic numbers just came out.
Speaker 1: They're very very good. Our country is doing unbelievably well economically.
Speaker 1: Most of you don't report that because it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: good from your perspective, But the country is doing really,
Speaker 1: really well. We have a lot of very exciting things
Speaker 1: going on. A lot of companies will be announcing shortly
Speaker 1: they're moving back into the United States. They're all coming back.
Speaker 1: They want to be where the action is. I'm heading
Speaker 1: to the border. We're building a lot of wall, We're
Speaker 1: going to show you a section and a lot of
Speaker 1: things are happening. A lot of very positive things are happening.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the buck Sex to show everybody. One hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety six thousand jobs in March. Numbers just came
Speaker 1: in today, and so sad day for Democrats because the
Speaker 1: country is still doing well, still a lot of job growth,
Speaker 1: a buoyant economy, a growing economy, and I guess it's
Speaker 1: doing more than just floating rights. It's actually moving in
Speaker 1: the right direction. And if you ever want to feel
Speaker 1: like the so called experts really know nothing, just go
Speaker 1: back and read some of the leading economists that are
Speaker 1: propped up on TV and with columns in the major
Speaker 1: newspapers what they were saying about what this president would
Speaker 1: do to the economy. Now Here we are two years
Speaker 1: in on year three, and still a very very strong economy,
Speaker 1: a lot of growth, and still a tremendous amount of
Speaker 1: optimism in the small business community. Entrepreneurship is on the
Speaker 1: up and up. Things are looking pretty good. But you're
Speaker 1: not gonna get us as Trump knows, I mean, he
Speaker 1: said it. You know, they don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1: They don't want to talk about the economy. They'd much
Speaker 1: rather discuss Trump's tax returns Play thirteen. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's up to whoever handles it. I don't know. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm underwood it, but that's up to whoever it is.
Speaker 1: From what I understand, the law is one of the laws.
Speaker 1: One percent is favor, he says. I I think that
Speaker 1: we are going to eventually see Trump's tax returns. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be able to keep them secret.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get some judge just because remember, all it
Speaker 1: takes is one or maybe a few, depending on whether
Speaker 1: it's an on bank review or something in the appeals court.
Speaker 1: But you know, you don't need a lot of lib judges.
Speaker 1: And there are plenty of Obama appointees and still plenty
Speaker 1: of Clinton appointees before that who sit on the bench.
Speaker 1: And all it takes is the right circumstance, and once
Speaker 1: that stuff is out, there will be out there. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about it for Trump's sake. I just think
Speaker 1: that the likeliest scenario of all is that they're going
Speaker 1: to use it to try and mock this president. But
Speaker 1: these are whether we're talking about the Press Corps or
Speaker 1: the Democrats, there's a fundamental lack of seriousness in their
Speaker 1: conversation and what they're trying to do, what they're trying
Speaker 1: to say. This is all once again colored by the
Speaker 1: I Hate Trump disease that has infected the minds of
Speaker 1: Democrats across the country, and so there's not much constructive
Speaker 1: discussion or reporting that goes on. It's all just finding
Speaker 1: the latest rage narrative to placate the left wing loons
Speaker 1: over at MSNBC and at CNN and wherever else you
Speaker 1: find the looney Tunes left. Here is just a smidgeon,
Speaker 1: just a little taste of what you hear on those
Speaker 1: networks right now about the member. The Mulla report is out,
Speaker 1: there's jobs numbers out today, economy is good. For the
Speaker 1: borders a mess, it's a disaster. We'll talk about that later.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there aren't a big problem. We've got
Speaker 1: big problems, but the economy is actually pretty good. It's
Speaker 1: not a big problem. And under another president you would
Speaker 1: have the media celebrating this. I mean they are actively rooting.
Speaker 1: The Democrat press is actively rooting against America here. They
Speaker 1: would prefer there to be suffering of the America people
Speaker 1: as long as it benefits Trump. They don't care about that,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, hurts Trump. They don't care about that suffering
Speaker 1: if it means that Trump is in a rough position,
Speaker 1: in a rough spot. So here's what they want to
Speaker 1: focus on. That somehow the Mueller that they were singing
Speaker 1: Christmas carols to Muller not long ago. They were that
Speaker 1: there are reports in places like the New York Times
Speaker 1: about how you know, aging left wing true believers are
Speaker 1: were worried that they would die before the Mueller report
Speaker 1: came out because they wanted to see justice so badly,
Speaker 1: justice of course, being that Trump is frog marched out
Speaker 1: of the White House in chains. That these were the stories.
Speaker 1: This is what it's out there. People were crying, People
Speaker 1: were devastated that the president wasn't a traitor, which you
Speaker 1: and I knew all along, but they didn't know that.
Speaker 1: Apparently they truly believed the opposite it, which does not
Speaker 1: speak well to their judgment. And this is what they
Speaker 1: say now, Oh, it's all part of the big plan here,
Speaker 1: a cover up because the report is not out yet.
Speaker 1: Play nine. If we get to mid April and still
Speaker 1: don't have the full report, well let's start to look
Speaker 1: like a cover up. Every day that goes by without
Speaker 1: the American people getting the actual report, the details that
Speaker 1: you talked about is indicative of a cover up. The
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is that Barr could show that
Speaker 1: he cared about transparency if he went to the court,
Speaker 1: as Juwarski did and said Judge, please release us to
Speaker 1: the House Judiciary coman, he's doing nothing of the kind.
Speaker 1: So he's perpetrating, in my view, a cover up. This
Speaker 1: has the smell of cover up. What do you have
Speaker 1: to hide? And it seems like Barr was covering up
Speaker 1: for the president, or at least trying to whitewash some
Speaker 1: of the nastier facts. But they have to know by
Speaker 1: now how it looks. It looks at this point like
Speaker 1: a whitewash. If we start running our government based on
Speaker 1: lies and deception and cover up and make that the
Speaker 1: normal standard operating procedure, we're moving into a very different
Speaker 1: form of government. A cover up, they say, wow, a
Speaker 1: cover up. Keep in mind here that all along Bar
Speaker 1: has been saying that they will they will release the
Speaker 1: full report. Is it is It has not been a
Speaker 1: question that they were. I mean, they're going to be
Speaker 1: redactions in it, and as I've been telling you, they're
Speaker 1: going to say, oh, the redactions are an effort to
Speaker 1: hide this information, but they are going to release the
Speaker 1: full report. That they're so focused right now on the
Speaker 1: speed with which the report is going to be released
Speaker 1: just goes to show you that they need a focus
Speaker 1: on something that is not substantive in the objection, but
Speaker 1: just gives them something to get up said about. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, they have not released the report yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's because there they haven't. They haven't had time to
Speaker 1: go through at all. They have not had an opportunity.
Speaker 1: There are pro Muller rallies that have happened recently in
Speaker 1: Times Square and I'm trying to you know, they have
Speaker 1: they have things in this. They have song lyrics they
Speaker 1: are distributing to people with things like next plane to
Speaker 1: Moscow and puppet King and you know we will stop you.
Speaker 1: And it's all this anti Trump stuff. I mean, this
Speaker 1: has really become a part of a part of this
Speaker 1: left wing protest culture that the Muller probe is something
Speaker 1: that should be celebrated even though it didn't take Trump down.
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, they there's just a bizarre delusion
Speaker 1: at the heart of all this, and they will not
Speaker 1: focus on things that really matter to anybody who is normal.
Speaker 1: They just want to pretend that there's a cover up
Speaker 1: that's going on here, even though there's no evidence whatsoever
Speaker 1: that that is the case. A few weeks to go
Speaker 1: over a three or four hundred page report of this
Speaker 1: kind after two years of what we've seen is for
Speaker 1: the government that's lightning speed. A couple of weeks to
Speaker 1: look at a report of this length, and I just
Speaker 1: I have to hammer this point home. Remember all of
Speaker 1: the voices you're hearing right now in the press and
Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party saying that they want transparency, they
Speaker 1: need transparency, because there's another whole set of documents where
Speaker 1: transparency sounds great to me too. Transparency is really appealing.
Speaker 1: I want to know what was provided at the FIZ
Speaker 1: accord to get warrants to do spying surveillance on someone
Speaker 1: like Carter Page. I want to know what was said.
Speaker 1: We all should know. I'd like to know how large
Speaker 1: a role the dossier played in all this. Jim Jordan,
Speaker 1: of course, agrees with me. Play ten. If we want
Speaker 1: the truth, if Jerry Natter wants the truth, then let's
Speaker 1: let's release the FISA application. Let's get the three zero two.
Speaker 1: If Jerry Nadder wants the truth, call in Glenn Simpson,
Speaker 1: bring him in an open hearing, put him under oath.
Speaker 1: See if he takes the fifth like he did in
Speaker 1: front of our committee in a closed door deposition. Indeed,
Speaker 1: closed door deposition. Huh, Let's see that information release release
Speaker 1: the Kraken release, the FISA release it. Let's see that.
Speaker 1: Let's have Glenn Simpson testify. Let's bring some people forward here.
Speaker 1: They were so obsessed with this investigation. I want to
Speaker 1: see where this all goes. So I just wouldn't know that.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good news. The goodness of the
Speaker 1: country today is bad news the Democrats. That's all. That's
Speaker 1: really the takeaway. Economy, strong, good jobs numbers. Democrats are, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's terrible. Let's talk more about the cover up with Bar.
Speaker 1: Are they going to admit that there wasn't a cover
Speaker 1: up and Bar releases the report? Of course not. These
Speaker 1: people have no accountability, they have no integrity, they have
Speaker 1: no honesty. Howard Schultz, interesting characters. If there's some interesting
Speaker 1: folks who are popping up in this fight for the
Speaker 1: Democrat nomination, you got that guy, Andrew Yang, I interviewed
Speaker 1: him recently. Peace he's at least intriguing. I will give
Speaker 1: him that. He is intriguing, and he'll talk to anybody.
Speaker 1: He will sit down with conservatives. Bernie, even though I
Speaker 1: think he represents an evil ideology, will talk more about
Speaker 1: that going forward to Bernie will subject himself to questions
Speaker 1: from Republicans. So many of these other mainstream Democrats are
Speaker 1: such whimps, won't defend their ideas publicly, will only go
Speaker 1: into media outlets that are part of where that really
Speaker 1: constitute the heart of the echo chamber. But Howard Schultz
Speaker 1: is a guy who I don't know if it's for
Speaker 1: reasons of patriotism or just sanity, doesn't want to see
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party become the party of socialists, and he
Speaker 1: sees what's going on here. He sees where this is
Speaker 1: all heading. I want to get into some of what
Speaker 1: Schultz said in just a moment, so team we also
Speaker 1: just so you can get excited about what we have
Speaker 1: to look forward to on the show. And Friday, I
Speaker 1: told you we might be joined by some friends. We
Speaker 1: have an all star lineup of Lawrence Jones from down
Speaker 1: at the Border, he's an old friend of mine from
Speaker 1: the Blaze. He'll be joining also off campus Reform dot Org,
Speaker 1: David Harsani from The Federalist, and back by popular demand,
Speaker 1: the one and only Jesse Kelly, all eight foot ten
Speaker 1: of him. He'll be joining us on radio. You won't
Speaker 1: be able to see him, but you can just hear
Speaker 1: from his voice that he's He's the Jolly Texas Giant.
Speaker 1: He'll be joining us later on the show to talk
Speaker 1: about some of the biggest news stories of the week.
Speaker 1: It's a Friday, so fry ya get excited, kickback, relax
Speaker 1: and let the good times role in the Freedom Hunt
Speaker 1: will be right back. If a Democrat runs who resembles
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, who says he's a Democratic socialist, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is going to get reelected. But on the character issue alone,
Speaker 1: lifelong Republicans will not vote for Bernie Sanders, but they
Speaker 1: might vote for somebody who is independent, a centrist, and
Speaker 1: wants to restore a faith and confidence in the promise
Speaker 1: of the country. Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks. Does
Speaker 1: he speak for more than a fringe in the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1: I wonder these days do they recognize how damaging it
Speaker 1: would be. How much of a massive see change it
Speaker 1: would be if Democrats put forward as their candidate officially
Speaker 1: somebody who describes himself or herself as a democratic socialist.
Speaker 1: No longer could Democrats say, oh, don't say it's socialism,
Speaker 1: it's not socialism. Oh no, your last candidate was a socialist.
Speaker 1: That means your party certainly is a party of socialist
Speaker 1: principles and platforms. Right now? Do they realize that? Though
Speaker 1: I don't know, do they understand the real long term implications?
Speaker 1: Has Trump broken them so much? Has Trump so thoroughly
Speaker 1: trolled and demoralized and deranged the left that they don't
Speaker 1: have the capacity for judgment anymore on this issue. I
Speaker 1: think it's very possible that they will put forward someone
Speaker 1: that does fit into what Schultz is describing here, and
Speaker 1: that it would be even if here's what I'd offered you.
Speaker 1: I mean, they better get amnesty through and essentially destroy
Speaker 1: the economy and get single payer all in the next presidency,
Speaker 1: because if they put it forward a democratic socialist and
Speaker 1: here he loses, that's going to haunt their party for
Speaker 1: a while. I don't know if they'll reform themselves or not,
Speaker 1: but I don't think the American people are ready, at
Speaker 1: least not a majority of us are ready to accept
Speaker 1: that socialism is the future of this country. Democrats a
Speaker 1: fair number of them do, but not a majority of us.
Speaker 1: But there's this, they're sane voices in the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: that are trying to warn their fellow travelers. They're trying
Speaker 1: to warn them about where this party's headed, where it's going.
Speaker 1: And for example, of Schultz is saying something here on
Speaker 1: immigration that is going to make him completely unacceptable to
Speaker 1: the left. Play five. I can promise you that Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 1: under any circumstances, will not give President Trump a victory
Speaker 1: on immigration. The issue that we have to recognize is
Speaker 1: this President Trump is correct and the Republican leadership is
Speaker 1: correct that we need fierce, strict levels of control on
Speaker 1: that border. That is absolutely true. Those guys a Democrat, folks,
Speaker 1: it's a Democrat. He probably understands some basic principles of economics,
Speaker 1: like supply and demand. Like dumping endless amounts of unskilled
Speaker 1: labor from the Third World on this country is not,
Speaker 1: in fact a recipe for economic success, assimilation, or social
Speaker 1: and political cohesion. It's probably not a good idea. He
Speaker 1: understands that it's not a good idea to have lawlessness
Speaker 1: at the border, because lawlessness at the border begets lawlessless
Speaker 1: in the interior. If we won't enforce the laws at
Speaker 1: the US Mexico border, we're not going to enforce the
Speaker 1: laws against people that violate those laws once they're living
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati or San Diego or Tallahassee or wherever. So
Speaker 1: this needs to be a situation that we get under control.
Speaker 1: But speaking rationally as a Democrat these days is dangerous business.
Speaker 1: That the party has gone hard left, far left, and
Speaker 1: Schultz in trying to save it, may, in fact, in
Speaker 1: some ways, I think, solidify just how crazy they are,
Speaker 1: you know, because people like Occasio Cortez and we'll talk
Speaker 1: about her later on the show. Pocazio Quartes, Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 1: These leftist true believers, when confronted with the biffoonery of
Speaker 1: some of their most important ideas, their reaction is not
Speaker 1: to reflect, to deal with the numbers that are presented
Speaker 1: to them, or deal with the counter arguments that dismantle
Speaker 1: the delusions that are central to believe that what they
Speaker 1: think is correct is going to be correct. They just
Speaker 1: double down they dig in because that's in their nature.
Speaker 1: There is a self reinforcing cycle among leftists of anyone
Speaker 1: that disagrees with them has to be acting in bad
Speaker 1: faith and as a bad person and has bad ideas,
Speaker 1: And that's now in ethos that comes from the top
Speaker 1: down among Democrats. The most powerful Democrats take that approach
Speaker 1: to the other side. They are not trying to win converts.
Speaker 1: They are hunting heretics. Schultz knows this. And I don't
Speaker 1: know how much room there's gonna be for Schultz in
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party or you know, I know he's talking
Speaker 1: running third party. They're gonna put the heat on this
Speaker 1: guy like nothing else, because yes, if he if he
Speaker 1: did run, I think he hands the whole thing to Trump,
Speaker 1: which would be amazing. So I'm kind of liking Schultz
Speaker 1: right now. He's saying some sensible stuff, and he's a
Speaker 1: sensible guy on some issues, which separates him from most Democrats.
Speaker 1: I'm proud to be a bartender. Ain't nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other
Speaker 1: people to buy. There is nothing wrong with preparing the
Speaker 1: food that your neighbors will eat. There is nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with driving the buses that take your family to work.
Speaker 1: There is nothing wrong with being a working person in
Speaker 1: the United States of America, and there is everything dignified
Speaker 1: about it. I, in fact, I'm encouraged when people remind
Speaker 1: the country of my past, not because of anything about
Speaker 1: my story, but because it communicates that if I could
Speaker 1: work in a restaurant and become a member of the
Speaker 1: United States Congress, so can you. So can you. Ain't
Speaker 1: nothing wrong. She's saying kind of a strange affect all
Speaker 1: of a sudden in AOC speech there at the National
Speaker 1: Action Network conference. I've never heard her sound like that before.
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong, she said, What was that? She all
Speaker 1: of a sudden kind of got like a little bit
Speaker 1: of a southern vibe. It seemed to less yeah, and
Speaker 1: noticeable to me, you know, notice to me, I thought,
Speaker 1: it's a little a little strange. Also, here's a classic
Speaker 1: Democrat tactic. I want to talk about Strawman. What exactly
Speaker 1: who does she think she's refuting with this, It's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with preparing food or driving buses or No. We
Speaker 1: like people doing jobs and getting paid for them. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right, that's the system we have capitalism, the system
Speaker 1: that she seems more fond of. Is one that disincentivizes
Speaker 1: people from working really hard, because it's very, very hard
Speaker 1: to get ahead, and it's very hard to benefit personally
Speaker 1: from your labor in the way that you would like to,
Speaker 1: because of all the constraints put on you by the government,
Speaker 1: because of what Bastiat in the Law, a book that
Speaker 1: I would highly recommend to any of you who want
Speaker 1: a pretty quick but very insightful read on why redistribution
Speaker 1: is what he called plunder, which is just the seizure
Speaker 1: of what is yours by this state under the guise
Speaker 1: of it being moral or ethic are good that that
Speaker 1: leads to all kinds of problems in society. President Trump
Speaker 1: recognizes the downside of what can happen when the government
Speaker 1: decides what you can have and should have or should
Speaker 1: not have. You mentioned Venezuela today, play fourteen. Venezuela is
Speaker 1: a mess. This is what socialism brings. You elect the
Speaker 1: socialist here, you'll have the same exact countries you haven't Venezuela. Now,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not going to turn into Venezuela overnight,
Speaker 1: So I have to I Trump is right here on
Speaker 1: right here, in the spirit of things, but take a
Speaker 1: little more time than that, but it would put us
Speaker 1: on our trajectory that I'm not sure we'd ever get
Speaker 1: off of. Ones. People are of the belief that what
Speaker 1: they are being given by the government, that the government
Speaker 1: has seized from other people is not just the their
Speaker 1: legal right, but a moral right, an ethical imperative imposed
Speaker 1: by the state by the government. Very difficult to change
Speaker 1: their minds later on. Does not matter what the end
Speaker 1: results are, does not matter how much damage is done
Speaker 1: to the economy. People never want to be told that
Speaker 1: what they have been given was not theirs in the
Speaker 1: first place, and they certainly would not want to be
Speaker 1: told in an AOC approved redistributionist system that it's not
Speaker 1: going to continue going forward, that people are going to
Speaker 1: have to make ends meet on their own. If you
Speaker 1: had told me even five years ago that there would
Speaker 1: be such an open embrace of socialism the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: I would I would have said not yet. I knew
Speaker 1: it was going to this place, but it has surprised
Speaker 1: even me with its speed. I mean the acceleration into
Speaker 1: full on socialism from the Democrat Party, meaning and look,
Speaker 1: I know that what they're really just doing is moving
Speaker 1: along with the and going further down the line on
Speaker 1: beliefs that they've long held and that this is their
Speaker 1: progressives and this has been a progression into socialism. So
Speaker 1: we have been expecting this, but it's sped up, it's
Speaker 1: gone faster in the post Obama ark. Obama, as much
Speaker 1: as he didn't accomplish things that I think we're good
Speaker 1: for the country from the perspective of state control, the enlarge,
Speaker 1: the enlarging of government, I think Obama was very effective
Speaker 1: at setting the groundwork for where we are now, which
Speaker 1: is a full on socialist running for the Democratic nomination
Speaker 1: of the presidency. And I know that Bernie ran agains
Speaker 1: Hillary in twenty sixteen, but it was still considered a
Speaker 1: knock on Bernie at the time across the party that
Speaker 1: he was a democratic socialist. That was definitely and that's
Speaker 1: why they went with Hillary, the most unlikable candidate in
Speaker 1: recent memory to be on any major party ticket, because
Speaker 1: they thought she was electable. Why was Bernie not electable, Oh,
Speaker 1: because Bernie was a socialist. Now they're saying, not only
Speaker 1: is Bernie perhaps electable, but he is elected because he
Speaker 1: is a socialist. That is quite a change. And the
Speaker 1: adoption of Sanders esque policy proposals by the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: overall is indicative of exactly the kind of shift that
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you about. We've been expecting it, but
Speaker 1: it's happened much more quickly than we anticipated. There's also
Speaker 1: a shift among Democrats to stoke racial tensions. You're seeing
Speaker 1: more of this. I want to discuss that with you
Speaker 1: and how it's going to play into not just these
Speaker 1: primary contests, but the twenty twenty election and some very
Speaker 1: unsettling ways. That's coming up today on the four hundredth anniversary,
Speaker 1: an anniversary of the first Africans being brought to this
Speaker 1: country and slavery. The average black family now has one
Speaker 1: tenth the wealth of the average white family. The truth
Speaker 1: is that this racial gap exists because slavery, segregation, Jim Crow,
Speaker 1: and predatory lending well from African Americans. Just last year,
Speaker 1: the Republicans in North Carolina's ninth Congressional district through enough
Speaker 1: votes in the trash to rig an election. Massive voters
Speaker 1: suppression prevented Stacy Abrams from becoming the rightful governor of Georgia.
Speaker 1: Last election, we saw great campaigns run for governor by
Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams Andrew Gillum and Ben Jellis, all of us
Speaker 1: recognize that we have a long way to go to
Speaker 1: end the institutional racism which permeates almost every aspect of
Speaker 1: American society. Democrats, all these white candidates who talk incessantly
Speaker 1: about race, and I find it very, very illuminating that
Speaker 1: the way that they discuss race is from a perspective
Speaker 1: of such intense negativity and divisiveness, and I think they
Speaker 1: speak about race in a deeply irresponsive way. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm and I know that you know this. You get
Speaker 1: into some pretty pretty tense territory here with some people.
Speaker 1: But I've got to tell you there's a real rewriting
Speaker 1: of history that's occurred about what race relations were like
Speaker 1: under the Obama administration when Democrats were in control of
Speaker 1: much of the government, most of the government until this
Speaker 1: sort of the second part of Obama's term, and we
Speaker 1: had what were effectively race riots. I mean, that's what
Speaker 1: the anti cop Black Lives Matter riots in Ferguson, in
Speaker 1: Baltimore and elsewhere. That's what they would be called, or
Speaker 1: would have been called years and years ago. There were
Speaker 1: riots stoked by racial you know, racial antagonism, racial animosity,
Speaker 1: and I just think that Democrats are so completely and
Speaker 1: utterly irresponsible with how they talk about these things. And
Speaker 1: for Bernie Sanders, who is very sensitive about this issue,
Speaker 1: because Bernie is like as white as I am. I mean,
Speaker 1: Bernie is a very, very white dude. And you know,
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is a guy who's is obviously from Vermont,
Speaker 1: which is one of the white est states in the country. Too.
Speaker 1: He gets up on stage and says that race permeates
Speaker 1: every aspect of our society. This becomes obsessive. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't even think that that's I don't know what
Speaker 1: that's supposed to mean. What are we supposed to take
Speaker 1: from that? If race, and by that he means racism,
Speaker 1: If racism permeates every aspect of our society, we have
Speaker 1: we made progress or not has have a race relations
Speaker 1: the last seven or so years dramatically improved. Do we
Speaker 1: have equality under the law? In fact, this is where
Speaker 1: Democrats get very very testy. The only inequality we have
Speaker 1: as a function of law privileges certain minorities, not all minorities,
Speaker 1: not Asians, but privileges certain minorities over others, and over
Speaker 1: certainly over the white majority. In this country, and I
Speaker 1: would would start to wonder when we can have a
Speaker 1: conversation that goes both ways about this doctrine of white
Speaker 1: privilege that white liberals are some of the biggest proponents
Speaker 1: of talking about. But this doctrine of white privilege and
Speaker 1: the usage of the term white supremacy to describe all
Speaker 1: kinds of aspects of society that no normal person would
Speaker 1: think are permeated with or infused with white supremacy. When
Speaker 1: when do we get to have an honest conversation about
Speaker 1: how this has become a kind of hysteria, that this
Speaker 1: is just it's it's now, it's it's too much. You know,
Speaker 1: when can we say that that people who claim that
Speaker 1: America as Eric Holder did America as as a nation
Speaker 1: of cowards when it comes to race, we talk about
Speaker 1: race and racism incessantly. I mean, if you turn on
Speaker 1: MSNBC at any given time in their primetime lineup when
Speaker 1: they weren't doing Russia collusion delusion for you know, night
Speaker 1: after night, if you've gone before that period, the chance
Speaker 1: that they're being some story on race is very very high.
Speaker 1: I mean, CNN covered the Ferguson riots and covered the
Speaker 1: whole Mike Brown situation, you know, in a way that
Speaker 1: was clearly intended to inflame tensions. And what they do
Speaker 1: is they get people, you know, all people that they can,
Speaker 1: from all different backgrounds and ethnicities, really angry about what's
Speaker 1: going on. And then the transference of this and this
Speaker 1: is the Olynsky style mobilization. They get people really angry
Speaker 1: over race, and they say they're the bad guys, and
Speaker 1: they are Republicans. It's you and me, although I know
Speaker 1: they're liberals who listen to this show too, And I'm
Speaker 1: so glad that you find this show entertaining enough and
Speaker 1: information dense enough that even though some of you disagree.
Speaker 1: I love getting those emails. By the way, whenever I
Speaker 1: have liberals that reach out and they say, hey, I
Speaker 1: don't really agree with you, but I just I find
Speaker 1: the way your take on things interesting, I take that
Speaker 1: as a high compliment. And there are some liberals that
Speaker 1: I well, I read a lot of liberal stuff, but
Speaker 1: there are some liberals that I deeply admire for their
Speaker 1: skill at least even if I think they're wrong, their
Speaker 1: skill in rhetoric, in argument, in writing show. You know,
Speaker 1: that's you gotta gotta respect the game. Sometimes back to
Speaker 1: this, this this year of the Democrats and race. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get a little bit ahead of this because I
Speaker 1: think we need to be prepared for what is going
Speaker 1: to be a very ugly election cycle. They are going
Speaker 1: to call this president so many terrible names and say
Speaker 1: things about him that when I when I say, it's irresponsible.
Speaker 1: You know, to claim if you're sitting in elected office
Speaker 1: in this country and you claim that the President of
Speaker 1: the United States is effectively a neo Nazi, that and
Speaker 1: then you also are always pushing this narrative that white
Speaker 1: supremacy is infused all throughout American society, that white nationalists
Speaker 1: are the biggest terror threat in this country and we
Speaker 1: need to be on the on guard against white nationalists.
Speaker 1: You know, Oh, why is the TSA going through your
Speaker 1: stuff because of all the white nationalist concerns? Right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. But in that environment to say that President
Speaker 1: Trump somehow fits into that is to create the the
Speaker 1: grounds for people to go way outside the bounds of
Speaker 1: civilized conduct and to do things that are that are
Speaker 1: illegal and that and that are horrific. You know, I
Speaker 1: have not forgotten that it was a Bernie Sanders supporter. Now,
Speaker 1: people who bring up that guy, Sayok, who is just
Speaker 1: a you know, a delusional loser and and a loaner
Speaker 1: who was in the kind of magamobile. You know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he sent bombs. He sent bombs in the mail the
Speaker 1: people from the networks. My understanding is that the bombs
Speaker 1: were not intended to go off. Doesn't mean it's okay,
Speaker 1: the guys should get to prison for a very long time.
Speaker 1: But I remember it was the only person who's actually
Speaker 1: shot someone in recent years in American politics was a
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders supporter, a Bernie Sanders supporter who believed that
Speaker 1: Republicans were a threat to this country. And that's not
Speaker 1: a leap from the rhetoric and the stories and the
Speaker 1: things that you're seeing on the mainstream networks. You know,
Speaker 1: and this is a very important distinction. You know, Sayok
Speaker 1: might have been the guy who lived in the maga
Speaker 1: van who was sending the pipe bombs in the mail.
Speaker 1: You know, he may have been in the comments sections
Speaker 1: of some far right websites, or he might have been
Speaker 1: you're reading Stormfront or whatever. But the guy who James Hodgkinson,
Speaker 1: who shot Steve Scalise, almost killed him, tried to kill
Speaker 1: many more, specifically conservative members of Congress and targeted them,
Speaker 1: had a list of their names. His thought process about
Speaker 1: how Trump is a danger, the Republicans are a danger.
Speaker 1: They're destroying this country. That's mainstream media thought. They say
Speaker 1: that is that they're danger. I mean, this is and
Speaker 1: this is what I mean by talking about how, you know,
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter was was being magnified that cops were
Speaker 1: hunting young black men for sport essentially in this country,
Speaker 1: that they were murdering them because they are so racist
Speaker 1: and they just felt like it. Well, if that's really true,
Speaker 1: then there are people who are going to act on
Speaker 1: that in terrible ways. Right the same way we talk
Speaker 1: or the same you know, logic is something you have
Speaker 1: to transfer to what we're seeing here at the talk
Speaker 1: about how racist and terrible and racist this country is.
Speaker 1: Some people are going to hear that and they're going
Speaker 1: to act on it in ways that are unpredictable and
Speaker 1: could be very damaging. And I just am sick of
Speaker 1: Democrats being so completely reckless in their demogoguary about this.
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren does not care about poor people or minorities
Speaker 1: more than you and I, Bernie Sanders does not care
Speaker 1: about poor people and minorities more than you and I.
Speaker 1: And this is one of the fundamental pretenses of contemporary
Speaker 1: liberalism in this country, is that people that adopt these
Speaker 1: positions and these talking points care more about black people
Speaker 1: in this country, care more about you know, women in
Speaker 1: the LGBT community. They just are trying to gain power
Speaker 1: and virtue signaling and treat our side like we're not
Speaker 1: trying to treat everybody like equals, like people of equal dignity,
Speaker 1: and in the eyes of the law, in the eyes
Speaker 1: of God, they just basically leftism is cancer, is what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And it's cancer in the debates or in
Speaker 1: the discussions over race, and it's cancer and the discussions
Speaker 1: over everything right now. And I think we're heading into
Speaker 1: a very dangerous period. You're just it's early. It's early.
Speaker 1: The Democrats are focused on each other right now, but
Speaker 1: you can see the initial embers for what I think
Speaker 1: will turn into a conflagration of hate against this president
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. It's coming, and we need to be
Speaker 1: prepared for We're gonna go back to that period where
Speaker 1: they're shouting people down in the streets and scary things
Speaker 1: are happening because Democrats are nuts. In February, Leadership Institute
Speaker 1: field organizer Hayden Williams was just trying to help some
Speaker 1: conservative students recruit for their group at UC Berkeley and
Speaker 1: he was viciously attacked by a radical leftist thug. One
Speaker 1: of my closest friends when I was in college was
Speaker 1: trying to recruit for college Republicans and he also was
Speaker 1: punched in the face. Folks, it's out of control. The
Speaker 1: leftists are running a muck on campus and trying to
Speaker 1: silence conservatives. Do you want to help? Do you want
Speaker 1: to help make this stop and support conservative speech so
Speaker 1: that it flourishes on campus and then in the rest
Speaker 1: of American society. I certainly do, and that's why I
Speaker 1: urge you to please go to take Back the Campus
Speaker 1: dot org. That's where you can find the Leadership Institute,
Speaker 1: the premier organization for educating and training conservative college students.
Speaker 1: You want activists on campus who are conservatives, Visit take
Speaker 1: Back the Campus dot org. Get into this fight team,
Speaker 1: help our conservative activists. Make a donation today take Back
Speaker 1: the Campus dot org. Check out the Leadership Institute. So
Speaker 1: we're in also disaster response, I mean it really is
Speaker 1: an emergency. You've seen the people at the border. So
Speaker 1: what I've done is I've basically instituted a very traditional
Speaker 1: emergency response posture. So I'm pulling on all of the
Speaker 1: departments in the federal government asking them to fill those
Speaker 1: resource needs that we have because we have declared the emergency.
Speaker 1: So we are doing that now, and then we continue
Speaker 1: to work with the military. Borders a mess. I've been
Speaker 1: telling you I was down there last week. I was
Speaker 1: down there a couple months before that. And our next
Speaker 1: guest as a friend of mine who was also just
Speaker 1: down there. You got Lawrence Jones in the house. Everybody
Speaker 1: you know him. We're from Fox News where he's a contributor.
Speaker 1: Also Campus Reform where Lawrence Jones can be found Campus
Speaker 1: reform dot org all about the campus wars for free speech.
Speaker 1: Mister Jones, my buddy. Good to have you back. What's
Speaker 1: going on? Brother? So tell me where were you at
Speaker 1: the board? Were you in El Passo like me? I
Speaker 1: did the Laredo sector. You did Laredo? Okay, so we'll
Speaker 1: tell this is great then, because I do. I was
Speaker 1: in on Passo last week. I've been talking about on
Speaker 1: the show. Tell me what they're telling you at Laredo sector.
Speaker 1: What's going on, Well, there are a couple of things.
Speaker 1: You know, the cartill. You know, a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't understand that, but I know you do. Thought we
Speaker 1: may control the American side of things, but in order
Speaker 1: to cross the least specifically in the Laredo sector, in
Speaker 1: order to cross that border, it goes to the cartel.
Speaker 1: They're paying thousands and thousands of dollars to get people across. Now,
Speaker 1: last year we saw uptick of the Bangladesh nationals coming
Speaker 1: across and that is since stopped, and that's because Border
Speaker 1: Patrol took out one of the cartel leaders there. But
Speaker 1: in the last month or so there's been this up
Speaker 1: tick of Chinese national So the night before last, as
Speaker 1: I was on the ride along, the Border Patrol engaged
Speaker 1: with two Chinese nationals. They arrest rested while we were
Speaker 1: in the middle of this ride along, and they told
Speaker 1: me that this is an uptick that they're going to
Speaker 1: see for a couple of months now because there's a
Speaker 1: new avenue for them to get across the border. Now,
Speaker 1: what's important about the Laredo sector is that although the
Speaker 1: Border Patrol is technically responsible for a hundred percent of
Speaker 1: that sector. They can only protect thirty of that sector.
Speaker 1: That means sevent is open wide open for illegals across.
Speaker 1: And what were they saying just about the the resources
Speaker 1: that they have to deal with this problem given the
Speaker 1: migrant crisis is happening across the border. It look at Lawrence.
Speaker 1: Last year was the most violent year in Mexico's history
Speaker 1: in terms of murders, and a vast majority of those
Speaker 1: are drug cartel related fights over turf and people assassining
Speaker 1: you know, members of police or people who talk or
Speaker 1: snitches or whatever. What are you hearing from Laredo sector
Speaker 1: about the drain on resources at the border that has
Speaker 1: happened from the migrants and what that means for the
Speaker 1: battle against the cartels. Well, so there's a couple of things. Uh.
Speaker 1: As far as the resources, and I mean not even
Speaker 1: getting into the border wall, it's technology aspect, even though
Speaker 1: that is a big part to make this work. They
Speaker 1: don't have enough agent to do their job. And you know,
Speaker 1: I've seen it firsthand now that a lot of these
Speaker 1: agents are put in difficult situations because it will be
Speaker 1: one Asian in the field covering a part of the
Speaker 1: sector and they're backed up will be fifteen twenty minutes away. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're engaging with eight illegal aliens, which they come
Speaker 1: in groups because that's how they pay the cartel, they
Speaker 1: have guide to get them across. Then if there's a weapon,
Speaker 1: if all those who have weapons, then that asian the
Speaker 1: gout of luck because their backup won't be able to
Speaker 1: get to them. So, you know, the border wall is great.
Speaker 1: We need it because it slows them down. As a
Speaker 1: part of the system, we need the technology advances as well.
Speaker 1: But if we don't have agents there that are equipped
Speaker 1: to make the arrest, then none of it matters. What's
Speaker 1: it like in Laredo, by the way, these days, you know,
Speaker 1: El Paso was pretty was pretty quiet, although it was interesting.
Speaker 1: I met with the El Paso mayor and I said,
Speaker 1: are you guys seeing any any crime that's across from
Speaker 1: the border in a way that not including illegal crossing,
Speaker 1: but more along the lines of violence, you know, felony crimes.
Speaker 1: And the mayor of course said, oh no, we're one
Speaker 1: of the safe We're the safest city in America. Are
Speaker 1: one of the safest cities in America. And then I
Speaker 1: spoke to some of the Border patrol guys. They said, actually,
Speaker 1: we've started to have some drive buys and some things
Speaker 1: are getting a little a little hotter here than they've
Speaker 1: been in a while, in part maybe because law enforcement
Speaker 1: resources are so fixed on trying to deal with what's
Speaker 1: going on with the migrant crisis, at least when we're
Speaker 1: talking about border patrol, so the cartels might feel a
Speaker 1: freer hand. I'm just wondering. I mean, it's Laredo pretty quiet,
Speaker 1: are they are they worried about a surge and some
Speaker 1: bad stuff going on? Well, it depends on what part
Speaker 1: of Laredo. The houses that are closest to the border
Speaker 1: are the ones that are affected the most. I mean directly.
Speaker 1: Like for example, last night, we did a riot alone
Speaker 1: and as the agents were pushing them back to the river,
Speaker 1: they cut back and going across the border behind people houses.
Speaker 1: We got a call from the Laredo Police Department that
Speaker 1: put it into the Border Patrol unit. That's the super
Speaker 1: were behind. Now, uh, they end up getting them. But
Speaker 1: again there's been gun fights, which is why you know,
Speaker 1: this is old trending topicy about me wearing a vest
Speaker 1: that the Border patrol maybe put on part of the
Speaker 1: reason because there's been gunfights, um, and there's been violent
Speaker 1: and when the cartel gets upset, uh and there becomes
Speaker 1: these turf awards, Uh, then the public that are on
Speaker 1: that border that you know, they suffered the consequences up that.
Speaker 1: I can't stress this enough. Although we have control on
Speaker 1: high side, the cartel runs the other side, and it's
Speaker 1: only a river separating that, uh, you know us from them.
Speaker 1: And I know that ao Ocasio Cortez aoc H went
Speaker 1: after you with her social media because as you said,
Speaker 1: you put on a vest which you were told to
Speaker 1: do by a by border patrol and a ride along
Speaker 1: situation I don't know could even be for them. It's
Speaker 1: just to liability an insurance issue. But yeah, but but
Speaker 1: aoc is giving you know, it's giving you a hard
Speaker 1: challenge one and what you told me you clap back
Speaker 1: at or what did you say? Well, and grels here
Speaker 1: since she doesn't believe there's a crisis the border to
Speaker 1: come to the radio sector and get a brief in
Speaker 1: just like I did. You go out there, um and
Speaker 1: and do a ride along with these ancient and experience um,
Speaker 1: the terminol that they've experienced on the border. I mean
Speaker 1: it's in say, I have way more respect for the
Speaker 1: border patrol ass um. Before I came there, you know,
Speaker 1: I just supported them, But now I've seen what they
Speaker 1: have to go through their life of the risk every
Speaker 1: single time they're out there because they don't know what
Speaker 1: they're gonna interact with, especially at nighttime. It gets really
Speaker 1: crazy at nighttime. Um, and in the middle of my
Speaker 1: Fox shit the other day when I'm doing handing these programs, Uh,
Speaker 1: they just start crossing the border and right when we
Speaker 1: finished it, we hop in the car in the pursue them.
Speaker 1: But you just never know. And so AOC is acting
Speaker 1: like there's not a problem. The Democrats act collected a problem.
Speaker 1: There's no violence, And is this absurd Either there being
Speaker 1: intellectually dishonest or they're just straight up lines. So Lawrence,
Speaker 1: I know you. Also, we're gonna switch gears here for
Speaker 1: a moment. You are at Campus Reform, So you're part
Speaker 1: of an organization that's trying to highlight the speech wars
Speaker 1: on campus and really the efforts by the left that
Speaker 1: continuing dominance by the left, or of the left's censorship
Speaker 1: of conservative ideas and thoughts. And you know, we here
Speaker 1: on the show have partnered with the Leadership Institute, which
Speaker 1: is on the front lines and is very much involved
Speaker 1: in trying to create conservative activism on campus to counter
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I just wanted to take a moment
Speaker 1: here because you know, you're a friend of mine, you're
Speaker 1: a friend of the show. What is the Leadership Institute
Speaker 1: really doing? I mean, what do people need to know
Speaker 1: about this organization that, for full disclosure of course, is
Speaker 1: one of our partners now on this program. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: the Leadership introduced trains conservative activists on the college campuses.
Speaker 1: We know there is a war happening on the college campuses,
Speaker 1: and the Leadership Instances essentially equipped young people for that battle. Now,
Speaker 1: on the campus reform side of the real the media
Speaker 1: arm we, I'd like to tell people, were the judicial
Speaker 1: watch of higher ed and we hold them accountable by
Speaker 1: reporting every single day over one hundred and ten correspondents
Speaker 1: or a college students that write about what's happening free
Speaker 1: speech issues, liberal biases, and doctor nations that happened on
Speaker 1: the college campuses today. And there was really a boy
Speaker 1: because the media really didn't cover this, they didn't think
Speaker 1: that it was an issue. And when campus reforms started
Speaker 1: to expose courses such as at San Diego State on
Speaker 1: how to Impeach Donald Trump literally being taught in the classroom.
Speaker 1: People started to be really alarmed. And it's because of
Speaker 1: the patriots, the grandmothers and the moms and dad that
Speaker 1: are really concerned about socialism taking over the culture that
Speaker 1: we've been able to be so successful. Folks, you should
Speaker 1: all check it out. Leadership Institutes a place that I
Speaker 1: think is doing really important work in Lawrence over campus
Speaker 1: reform is raising the issue. Lawrence, We're gonna have you
Speaker 1: on to you know, we want to have you to
Speaker 1: raise awareness about what is going on on campus and
Speaker 1: some of the battles that are underway for free speech,
Speaker 1: especially after Trump signed that executive order. We're gonna hope
Speaker 1: to see some real improvement. But people should definitely check
Speaker 1: out the organization. We'll be talking more about them later
Speaker 1: on the show. Take Back the Campus Dot ordered we
Speaker 1: were really free stated. Just support us and help us
Speaker 1: fight this free specist on the car. I've been over
Speaker 1: there to visit Lawrence and the rest of the team guys,
Speaker 1: and I can tell you they take this mission very
Speaker 1: very seriously, and they understand how important it is because
Speaker 1: if we've lost the campuses. We're losing that next generation
Speaker 1: that they're turning out, and they're progressive indoctrination factory. So
Speaker 1: if you want to help fight, you want to help
Speaker 1: Lawrence and his colleagues and partners in this fight take
Speaker 1: back the campus. Dot org is where you should go.
Speaker 1: Lawrence Jones, my man, great to talk to you. Good
Speaker 1: work down on the border, and we'll have you back
Speaker 1: real soon. Thanks, brother, we'll talk soon. Team will be
Speaker 1: right back. I don't know how many more children need
Speaker 1: to be exploited, or how many more families need to
Speaker 1: be put in harm's way by a trafficker before Congress
Speaker 1: will act. But as you saw, we have tried everything
Speaker 1: we can at DHS. We are absolutely out of the
Speaker 1: ability to manage this flow and they need help. Congress
Speaker 1: has to act. They have to get rid of Patch
Speaker 1: and release Shane migration visa lottery. They have to get
Speaker 1: rid of the whole asylum system because it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: And frankly, we should get rid of judges. You can't
Speaker 1: have a courtcase every time somebody step their foot on
Speaker 1: our ground. Trump is right, but Sayings has to act, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: is insufficient because we know Congress will not act. I
Speaker 1: was joking around with some colleagues today over at the
Speaker 1: Hill where I said, maybe maybe what the founding fathers
Speaker 1: really had in mind was gridlock. You know, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: they preferred it being very very hard. I think you
Speaker 1: can make a real argument about this being very hard
Speaker 1: to make sweeping changes to governance in this country. And
Speaker 1: so what we think of as part as in gridlock
Speaker 1: is a status quo by design. That's certainly an argument
Speaker 1: one can make because we're always saying, oh, why won't
Speaker 1: Congress do this or Congress do that. We have so
Speaker 1: many more laws now and so much more in the
Speaker 1: way of statutes and legislation than we ever have in
Speaker 1: our country's history. Maybe it is time it's slows some
Speaker 1: things down on this issue. However, the current system is bad.
Speaker 1: It's not that we need new laws. We need laws
Speaker 1: that will fix what's going on, or we need legal
Speaker 1: and statutory larity on what's happening here. And that's why
Speaker 1: I don't see how this will improve, because there's no
Speaker 1: incentive right now. For certainly the Democrats have a majority
Speaker 1: in the House. And look, I have to say it,
Speaker 1: we there was a lot of time wasted early on
Speaker 1: in the administration. You know they went with the travel Band. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're going to get into a big political fight
Speaker 1: on an immigration related issue, I don't think I would
Speaker 1: have started with travel band, folks. I just I wouldn't have.
Speaker 1: It's not how I would have gone about it. And
Speaker 1: so that's I just feel like there, Look, there have
Speaker 1: been some mistakes made here, There's no question about it.
Speaker 1: And it would be in many ways surprising if there
Speaker 1: weren't mistakes, because you have people that are trying to
Speaker 1: work within the upper reaches of the government bureaucracy in
Speaker 1: this White House who are kind of new, who not
Speaker 1: not kind of new, are new to the game. But
Speaker 1: the problem now, as I see it, is only likely
Speaker 1: to get worse. As I have been telling you. One
Speaker 1: area of this that I think is particularly interesting is
Speaker 1: when you look at what's going on with HHS and
Speaker 1: the funding for that HHS is spending now to resettle
Speaker 1: unaccompanied Central American teens. Daniel Horrow It's over Over a
Speaker 1: Conservative Review, has written very interesting piece on this. He
Speaker 1: does very He does excellent work on immigration in general.
Speaker 1: I don't know the guy, never met him, but I
Speaker 1: find his stuff to really be very very insightful, very thoughtful,
Speaker 1: and what he's written here is that HHS Secretary Asar
Speaker 1: has made sure that there's going to be, you know,
Speaker 1: plenty of additional funding for the seventy to eighty children
Speaker 1: who are taken into custody by by Customs and Border
Speaker 1: Patrol each day. And there are currently twelve thousand, three
Speaker 1: hundred and forty Central American children in HHS custody and
Speaker 1: they don't have the space for anymore. They're spending one
Speaker 1: point three billion dollars a year on this program, and
Speaker 1: the program, the whole resettlement. So this is a program,
Speaker 1: just so I'm being clear here, for unaccompanied children who
Speaker 1: show up at the border, we take care of them,
Speaker 1: We place them with a sponsor family or with sponsors
Speaker 1: in this country, and then we're supposed to figure out
Speaker 1: what is going to happen with them. But all of
Speaker 1: this is really just another way of smuggling people into
Speaker 1: the country because they have illegal family members who are
Speaker 1: in the country, and so what they do is they
Speaker 1: show up at the border and then they are released
Speaker 1: into the interior to that family. And so we are
Speaker 1: paying for the resettlement of illegal alien children to join
Speaker 1: their alien families inside the United States and the cost
Speaker 1: of this for the American taxpayers a billion dollars a year,
Speaker 1: which is that's real money. I know that people owe
Speaker 1: a billion here, a billion there for the government. They
Speaker 1: wouldn't give us a billion dollars to the wall, but
Speaker 1: we'll spend a billion dollars on illegal alien transfer of
Speaker 1: illegal alien youth to their illegal families in this country.
Speaker 1: And the drug cartels are making are making money off
Speaker 1: of this, thousands of dollars for every person. Seventy two
Speaker 1: percent of these unaccompanied miners are mail and fifteen to
Speaker 1: seventeen years old. These are basically young adults folks, okay,
Speaker 1: who are showing up at the border. These are seventeen
Speaker 1: year old dudes who are showing at the border saying, Hey,
Speaker 1: I need to be reunited with my family now. And
Speaker 1: that means that they're getting in before they're actually adults.
Speaker 1: There's a huge incentive because they're going to get sent
Speaker 1: at taxpayer expense to join their illegal family, illegal alien
Speaker 1: family or family members. This is this is astonishing. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're just we're being taken advantage of. That's what this is.
Speaker 1: People are are they figured out that America, you know,
Speaker 1: The political system is very fractured right now over this issue,
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to be the mean person who turns
Speaker 1: away refugees or you know, won't let people who are
Speaker 1: supposed to be you know, people who are fleeing violence
Speaker 1: be here. And you know, this is like we started
Speaker 1: a charity and now instead of people sewing up just
Speaker 1: for food when they're hungry and they can't get any
Speaker 1: other food, they're showing up for three meals a day
Speaker 1: and demanding food. We are being taken advantage of by
Speaker 1: Central American migrants. That is just a fact right now.
Speaker 1: And what are we going to do about it? Well,
Speaker 1: here's what Trump and Pompeio are saying about the next
Speaker 1: move Play four. Mexico has been doing a very good
Speaker 1: job to last three or four day since we talked
Speaker 1: about closing the border, which is very real. But what's
Speaker 1: more real initially is tariffs and the cars coming in
Speaker 1: at twenty five tariff on the cars being made in
Speaker 1: Mexico coming in, they are they're saying they're going to
Speaker 1: do it. So we need to see action. And now
Speaker 1: we need to make sure they have the capacity. And
Speaker 1: so we've worked for them to help them for years
Speaker 1: and years, We've provided lots of resources, not only to Mexico,
Speaker 1: but to Guatemala, Hondura, Sal Salvador as well, and they
Speaker 1: have to do it, and if not, the President is
Speaker 1: going to ensure that we protect our nation. We've given
Speaker 1: them a year warning, so who knows what's going to
Speaker 1: happen in a year. We don't have the answer for
Speaker 1: this problem yet, folks. We have not yet figured it out,
Speaker 1: and time is not on our side, but we will
Speaker 1: stay on it here in the Freedom, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: The reason where Fablicans hate me so much is because
Speaker 1: I confront them directly on their moral their lack of
Speaker 1: moral grounding on so many issues. And not just that,
Speaker 1: but the reason they're so upset and they act like
Speaker 1: that girl in the Exorcist. That's like vomiting peace soup.
Speaker 1: That's like them and negativity. I'm pretty sure the reason
Speaker 1: Republicans have a problem with her is that we think
Speaker 1: she's really stupid and incredibly arrogant. So, yeah, but there's
Speaker 1: some other stuff I want to address. You're like this
Speaker 1: notion that millennials have it so badly and that everything
Speaker 1: is ruined for them. Speaking of negativity, turns out that's
Speaker 1: actually not true, and her friend David Harsanyi over at
Speaker 1: The Federalist explains why he's got a piece. Millennials are
Speaker 1: the most prosperous generation that has ever lived. Oh and
Speaker 1: by the way, also the freest, safest, most educated, longest living,
Speaker 1: and most globally connected. Mister Harsani is with us now, David,
Speaker 1: Great to have you, my friend, always great to be here.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. First stuff, just what do you
Speaker 1: make What is your diagnosis of the rise of Ocasio
Speaker 1: Cortez in American politics? Well, I guess you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: there isn't a sort of populist appeal to her. I
Speaker 1: guess for people who don't really understand what she's talking
Speaker 1: about in the sense of her socialistic ideas. I think
Speaker 1: she's a perfect straw man in a way to bash
Speaker 1: those ideas because she's such a bad such a bad
Speaker 1: debate Like in that clip you pay It, she said
Speaker 1: that she confronts Republicans directly. Has she ever debated a
Speaker 1: conservative about this? I don't. I can't remember her debating
Speaker 1: anyone about these ideas. She just tweets stuff out and
Speaker 1: she thinks that's confronting them and it's sort of I
Speaker 1: don't want to bash on millennials. It's sort of a
Speaker 1: you know, a sort of contemporary thing to do, to
Speaker 1: think that you're actually convincing people by tweeting out something
Speaker 1: she's never really confronted them in any real way. I
Speaker 1: feel like no one and this is a little bit
Speaker 1: of a digression from we're talking about, but dude, I
Speaker 1: feel like people don't. There's not really debate anymore anyway,
Speaker 1: because everyone just wants to connect to the folks that
Speaker 1: they want to connect to, like their own audience, their
Speaker 1: own side. I can't remember the last time I saw
Speaker 1: a really in depth, substantive debate between real heavy hitters
Speaker 1: on an issue. I feel like it never happens anymore.
Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny. I was just thinking about
Speaker 1: that as well. You know, when I started out many
Speaker 1: years ago, you know, people would write another column that
Speaker 1: pointed out things I had said wrong, and we would
Speaker 1: sort of go back and forth. Even in social media.
Speaker 1: That would happen to maybe a decade ago. But now
Speaker 1: it's more like pointing a finger at the other side
Speaker 1: and saying, look how dumb they are, and then getting,
Speaker 1: you know, getting a mob of your followers to sort
Speaker 1: of mock the other person. You never really see a
Speaker 1: kind of a debate about an issue in the way
Speaker 1: that we used to. And why is because I think
Speaker 1: it's just your incentivized to act like a jerk pretty
Speaker 1: much on social media. But also maybe we're just so
Speaker 1: far apart on the issues that there's really not a
Speaker 1: debate to be had. I think we used to sort
Speaker 1: of have similar goals and different ideas of how to
Speaker 1: get there, and now we don't even share the same
Speaker 1: goal as most often, so I think that maybe that's
Speaker 1: the problem. But I don't know, and I'm somebody just
Speaker 1: like you, David. I for a living now and for
Speaker 1: going on a decade, it's been writing, thinking, you know, speaking,
Speaker 1: doing all these things about different issues. If I sat
Speaker 1: down with Okazy Cortez on the Green New Deal to
Speaker 1: try to talk to her about it, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that she would look like an idiot, but I
Speaker 1: think that her side, for example, wouldn't in any way
Speaker 1: except that because we can't even agree on the basics
Speaker 1: of saying the world is going to end in twelve
Speaker 1: years is a crazy person thing to say, right, and
Speaker 1: you're here heard her talk about morality It's a lot
Speaker 1: of this is based an emotional response, and you know,
Speaker 1: the moral thing to do, and it's never about the
Speaker 1: outcomes or the cost or a sort of any kind
Speaker 1: of real economic breakdown on what these things mean. That
Speaker 1: it's the moral thing to do once you think you
Speaker 1: have the moral high ground. So this often, I mean,
Speaker 1: progresses to me. I started out as a sort of
Speaker 1: full blown libertarian many years ago, and you know, I
Speaker 1: wasn't crazy about the you know, Bible something, you know,
Speaker 1: evangelicals and things like that. To me, they are that
Speaker 1: now you know, they have a moral they think they
Speaker 1: have the moral high ground, and they don't really even
Speaker 1: need to debate you anymore. They just to tell you
Speaker 1: how moral they are all the time. And that's how
Speaker 1: she is all the time. Now let's address what she
Speaker 1: recently tweeted. Got a lot of attention. She tweeted out, people,
Speaker 1: this is okalaju Ortez. People our age have never experienced
Speaker 1: American prosperity in our adult lives, which is why so
Speaker 1: many millennials are embracing democratic socialism. I'm pretty sure I
Speaker 1: read that on my iPhone that at full price would
Speaker 1: cost a thousand dollars. While I was waiting for the
Speaker 1: order of food that I had placed via an app
Speaker 1: for an Indian Indian restaurant fifteen blocks away, watching my
Speaker 1: flat screen forty inch TV, etc. Etc. Et cetera. David,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not about to cry big tears about
Speaker 1: how my generation has no prosperity. But this people believe this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, And what you just mention is kind of
Speaker 1: important in a way that I don't know that a
Speaker 1: young person might understand. You know, when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: you know, a small a kid in the seventies, Let's say,
Speaker 1: it's like I had to wait to hear if I
Speaker 1: wanted to learn something, I had to go and drive
Speaker 1: or walk or ride my bike to a library, figure
Speaker 1: it out, look it up, that sort of thing. And
Speaker 1: now you have the world that your fingertips literally any
Speaker 1: piece of literature, art, news, anything is right there. Just
Speaker 1: as a sort of revolution of information and knowledge. It's
Speaker 1: just amazing. It's it's maybe the most revolutionary thing that's
Speaker 1: happened to just on an intellectual level, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. And I don't think people realize that. But
Speaker 1: just beyond that, AOC has she's experienced once since she
Speaker 1: has graduated college has only been one quarter of negative
Speaker 1: growth in our economy. I don't even know what she's
Speaker 1: talking about. It's just been a humming economy since the
Speaker 1: last recession we had. And you think that that recession
Speaker 1: was like the oppression or something. It wasn't. We have
Speaker 1: recessions all the time. It was the recovery that was
Speaker 1: sort of slow. And we can argue about why that happened.
Speaker 1: But certainly she has not. She's only experienced prosperity in
Speaker 1: her in you know, as general, in society, in her life.
Speaker 1: It's often claimed that millennials have lower earning, fewer assets,
Speaker 1: and less wealth. You right, David. Why is this? Mostly
Speaker 1: it's because they get to go to college. You know,
Speaker 1: in my grandfather's day or even my dad's day, a
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't go to college. Most people, the
Speaker 1: vast majority of people didn't go. They went out and
Speaker 1: got jobs after high school, and they got married after
Speaker 1: high school, and they started to accumulate assets of some sort.
Speaker 1: Now millennials get married much later, and they go to college,
Speaker 1: and they have loans for that college. In the long run,
Speaker 1: they will have more early on in their lives as
Speaker 1: young people. They don't have as much if we just
Speaker 1: you know, add up the numbers, which is a silly
Speaker 1: way to look at the world. And also, you know
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, especially in Gen X
Speaker 1: or older went and got bought houses, you know, out
Speaker 1: in suburbs and things of that nature. Young people to
Speaker 1: day they like to live in urban areas that are
Speaker 1: super expensive and they pay rents. So it's just a
Speaker 1: different world. And most of those most of the reasons
Speaker 1: are their own choices, not some societal you know problem.
Speaker 1: Isn't it interesting that there's always this tendency in it,
Speaker 1: particularly in the news business, which I know you've been
Speaker 1: in for for quite a while, David, longer than I have.
Speaker 1: There's a tendency to you know, not just not just
Speaker 1: the most basic. If it bleeds, it leads, and you
Speaker 1: know people, Yeah, people like stories of death, fear, catastrophe,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But also just in politics,
Speaker 1: if you want people to pay attention to you, you
Speaker 1: really have to focus I feel like ninety percent of
Speaker 1: your energy on how messed up everything is all the time,
Speaker 1: and the moment you try to say to somebody, look,
Speaker 1: we got problems, right, like things things are bad, like
Speaker 1: there are issues with our healthcare system. That that that annoy me,
Speaker 1: But we also have a pretty amazing healthcare system. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to hear it. I don't know. I feel like
Speaker 1: this is be or right now that's ever been for
Speaker 1: anyone ever in the world world, for you right here today.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you specifically or me specifically, just in general,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think people understand that, and maybe
Speaker 1: they shouldn't write. I mean, no one cares about that
Speaker 1: kind of context, I guess, but I've always reminded, just
Speaker 1: because you mentioned about the media. Years ago, I was
Speaker 1: at a newspaper and the gas prices had sort of
Speaker 1: gone up for whatever reason, and an editor told me
Speaker 1: I should probably go out to one of the gas staitions,
Speaker 1: find some you know, old lady or something and talked
Speaker 1: her about how terrible these gas prices are. And I
Speaker 1: wrote a column about how gas prices. The popcorn that
Speaker 1: you buy at the movie theater costs more than the
Speaker 1: gas that you buy, and you should be happy that
Speaker 1: gas is so cheap. And that's the thing go over
Speaker 1: too well, because it's not the sort of thing people
Speaker 1: want to hear. They want to hear how they're suffering
Speaker 1: and how hard it is for them, and those are
Speaker 1: the things that people click on. Unfortunately, I always remember this,
Speaker 1: I can't remember the context of it. It there was
Speaker 1: this lecture or it was a speech. Maybe he's in
Speaker 1: an interview years ago with Michael Crichton, who I've always
Speaker 1: liked because his books kind of got me interested in
Speaker 1: books when I was a kid. You know, he was
Speaker 1: the break in the damn for me. You know. I
Speaker 1: read Your Ass Park, and then Congo and then Sphere
Speaker 1: and then Rising Sun. I just read all these books
Speaker 1: one after another, you know. And I was in the
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth grade, fifth grade, i think. And so
Speaker 1: I've always found him an interesting guy. And he talked
Speaker 1: about how you know, and he was a bestselling author,
Speaker 1: wrote Er, the show that was the number one show
Speaker 1: on TV for years and years and years. And he
Speaker 1: said that he had been through this so many times
Speaker 1: in life that he knew better than to sort of
Speaker 1: think about it to get or you know, to try
Speaker 1: it again. But he said, if you go to a
Speaker 1: cocktail party. This is one of these cocktail party things,
Speaker 1: But if you go to cocktail party and you tell
Speaker 1: people just a story of how how scary and terrible
Speaker 1: things are, people can't people all want to hear. I mean,
Speaker 1: they just crowd around you and they want, well, really
Speaker 1: that's going to happen, that's you know ooh. He says,
Speaker 1: if you go to a cocktail party, in your approach
Speaker 1: to life is that things are actually pretty good and
Speaker 1: things are getting better. And he says, not only do
Speaker 1: people not want to hear it, they get angry at
Speaker 1: you because you don't understand how bad it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when I write how great things are now, if I
Speaker 1: every quantifiable measure possible, we prove that things are better,
Speaker 1: are less poverty, everything, they get mad at you. They
Speaker 1: send you mail, They're mad, They're mad that you're not
Speaker 1: because I think they feel like maybe you're not taking
Speaker 1: the problem seriously or dismissing it, which I don't think
Speaker 1: you should do either. I'm not dismissing that there are
Speaker 1: poor people and we shouldn't help them. I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you there are few poor people in the world now
Speaker 1: than ever, and that a lot of good things are happening. Look,
Speaker 1: I talk, I mean, you know, one of the one
Speaker 1: of the things that that is true about other news
Speaker 1: or analysis is that I talk about the problems that
Speaker 1: are out there because I want to address them, fix them,
Speaker 1: and also people, you know, we don't need to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time inherently on what it's going great,
Speaker 1: because it's going great. So I do think that there's
Speaker 1: a natural bias toward covering issues that are problematic. But
Speaker 1: I just also think it's funny that AOC is so
Speaker 1: mindless that she's just like, we've never experienced prosperity, and
Speaker 1: that's a that's a patently stupid thing to say. She
Speaker 1: just tweeted something today, I forget it. Specifically, she had
Speaker 1: like four points. Each of them was completely made up.
Speaker 1: You know. Another point she once made that made me
Speaker 1: laugh was that people are dying. She was, I think
Speaker 1: you're sort of yelling this in Congress. People are dying
Speaker 1: from the weather all over the world. Meanwhile, over the
Speaker 1: last one hundred years, extreme weather related debts have plummeted, plummeted.
Speaker 1: People don't understand how often, you know, Americans and others
Speaker 1: would die because of the heat or the cold, you know,
Speaker 1: and they don't anymore. I don't think they understand. They
Speaker 1: think that every weather event is that's the first time
Speaker 1: this has ever had, you know, hurricanes, it's the first
Speaker 1: time we've had this sort of weather. It's just nonsensical.
Speaker 1: And we've only been measuring these things for maybe one
Speaker 1: hundred years is four billion years old. It's just funny.
Speaker 1: So guys, if you're ever having a down day, just
Speaker 1: email Harsani and he'll explain to you how everything's actually
Speaker 1: pretty good. So there you go. The piece is Millennials,
Speaker 1: the most prosperous generation that's ever lived, and basically the
Speaker 1: world is pretty good, folks, it's all gonna be. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's your Friday, your Friday positivity dump, mister David Harsani.
Speaker 1: Always your pleasure, sir, have a great weekend, you too, anytime, team,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back. What I think is that we
Speaker 1: are committed to policies that make make American lives better.
Speaker 1: And um, we're actually talking about something substantive. We're not
Speaker 1: calling anyone names. People say tea Party of the Left,
Speaker 1: and I find this phrase very interesting, this phrasing very
Speaker 1: interesting because the grounding of the Tea Party was xenophobia,
Speaker 1: the underpinnings of white supremacy. Okay, right there, we got
Speaker 1: we gotta stop AOC right there, we gotta stop. This
Speaker 1: is what we're up against, folks. We're just about improving
Speaker 1: people's lives, and like, we don't call people names, unlike
Speaker 1: those stupid white supremacist xenophobe people. She's such an idiot,
Speaker 1: I don't I mean Democrats should be ashamed. I mean
Speaker 1: they're not ashamed. They should be ashamed though, because she
Speaker 1: is an absolute buffoon, and she is the most powerful
Speaker 1: this this twenty nine year old no nothing, is the
Speaker 1: most powerful Democrat politician in terms of messaging and media
Speaker 1: coverage in the country right now. She can get more
Speaker 1: attention with one tweet or one statement, one you know,
Speaker 1: green new deal released from her office than any single
Speaker 1: presidential contender right now on the Democrat side. She has
Speaker 1: a complete lack of self awareness, a complete lack of
Speaker 1: the understanding of her limitations, and isn't isn't gracious at all.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's you know, you see this
Speaker 1: on the left is that they're little radicals and they
Speaker 1: don't have humility. They don't have an understanding of why
Speaker 1: other people feel the way they do and why maybe
Speaker 1: there's a need to at least show, even if you
Speaker 1: disagree strong with the other side, showing some respect to
Speaker 1: their ideas. You know, she's a person who's coming along.
Speaker 1: And the ideas that she's promoting, never mind, are stupid
Speaker 1: and not feasible, but they're new, and the ideas that
Speaker 1: she wants to supplant are trying and true. When we're
Speaker 1: talking about things like capitalism, we're talking about you know,
Speaker 1: contracts and rule of law, and these are these have
Speaker 1: been around for a long time for a good reason.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that they shouldn't get that you
Speaker 1: can't debate them or they can't be adjusted. But she
Speaker 1: doesn't even understand why it is that there are people
Speaker 1: who want to conserve what is good and functions well
Speaker 1: in our society. She just thinks it's all racism, xenophobia,
Speaker 1: you know, white male privilege, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Uc Oh, she said this too, Play seven what. I'm
Speaker 1: twenty nine, I'm the youngest woman to ever be elected
Speaker 1: United States Congress. I have plenty of time to learn,
Speaker 1: and I'm not afraid to make mistakes and iterate in
Speaker 1: public either. And frankly, if the mistakes that I'm making
Speaker 1: are just a one off, like rhetorical thing, you correct it,
Speaker 1: acknowledge it, and move on. At least I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to cage children the border and inject them with drugs.
Speaker 1: That's not a mistake. That is a deliberate policy. To
Speaker 1: attack people based on their national origin, that's not a mistake.
Speaker 1: That's just hatred, that's just cruelty. That's just wrong. This
Speaker 1: is what we're up against. I don't know if she
Speaker 1: really believes that, but I think she does believe all
Speaker 1: the crazy stuff that she said there. I think she
Speaker 1: does believe that the policy of separating families at the
Speaker 1: border because what they're doing is illegal, and that's what
Speaker 1: you do when people break the law. You know, if
Speaker 1: mom is driving home drunk and has the kids in
Speaker 1: the backseat, you know what happens. Mom and the kids
Speaker 1: get separated. That is the law for everybody else. But
Speaker 1: if you don't really believe that crossing into the country
Speaker 1: is illegal just because you say so, well then there's
Speaker 1: no justification for separating these families, of course, and that
Speaker 1: is the position that she takes. But to suggest that
Speaker 1: it comes out of sadism and cruelty and because of
Speaker 1: national origin, that's just it's a smear. But this is
Speaker 1: what she does and she is. But that whole thing
Speaker 1: about how she's going to iterate in public, I have
Speaker 1: not heard her in any way stepped back from some
Speaker 1: of the stupid stuff she said, correct it. And we
Speaker 1: should all be troubled that somebody who is so ignorant
Speaker 1: and so incapable of formulating any kind of coherent policy
Speaker 1: on anything is is ascending in this way in this country.
Speaker 1: And I really I think that. On the one hand,
Speaker 1: I do mock her because she's deserving of mockery, but
Speaker 1: she's also a dangerous harbinger. I think of the leftism
Speaker 1: to come, especially if we hit some rocky times in
Speaker 1: the economy, which I believe are not far away at all.
Speaker 1: Even if I knew for certain that I was going
Speaker 1: to run for president back in Thanksgiving, my intention in
Speaker 1: the beginning, if run, would be the last person to
Speaker 1: announce hi uh, and so everyone else through day, and
Speaker 1: then I get a shot and then off to the races.
Speaker 1: I would find it a fascinating exercise to just ask
Speaker 1: people that, because all the polls show that was Biden,
Speaker 1: of course, and all the polls show him at the
Speaker 1: top of the Democrat pack, and there's now eighteen, maybe
Speaker 1: nineteen people who have said they're running for president, even
Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell. I mean, if Eric Swalwell is gonna run
Speaker 1: for president on the Democrat ticket. I might as well run. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll maybe I'll just just for giggles, why not,
Speaker 1: I'll just change my party affiliation and just run as
Speaker 1: a Democrat. It'd be so fun. And he's being hey me,
Speaker 1: and I'm still wokeing like whatever that you can just
Speaker 1: take all your all your waite privilege and your social injustice,
Speaker 1: seeing like, why don't we just redistribute the wealth? Me?
Speaker 1: And and you know I could. I could be a
Speaker 1: great I'd be a great fake Lib. I could do it.
Speaker 1: I should probably create a fake Lib character. I could
Speaker 1: have mock debates with here on the show. Um you
Speaker 1: know who just use all these all this made up terminology.
Speaker 1: And you know I would. I would insist because I
Speaker 1: identify as as you know, Vigo the space Lord Ninja Master.
Speaker 1: That that's what everyone have to call me, because that's
Speaker 1: how I identify man as Vigo the Space Lord Ninja Master.
Speaker 1: But you know this is this is a moment where
Speaker 1: when you look at the Democrat field, you see one there.
Speaker 1: It's just a lot of people that are it's bizarre
Speaker 1: that they would ever think that they could win. But
Speaker 1: why why would anyone vote for Biden? I really mean this,
Speaker 1: What is the appeal of this guy? I've never seen it.
Speaker 1: I understand why people would vote if you're a Democrat,
Speaker 1: If if I'm putting on my woke hat and pretending
Speaker 1: to be a leftist for a moment, I get why
Speaker 1: people would from that perspective vote for some of these individuals.
Speaker 1: I even understand why they'd vote for Betto because like
Speaker 1: he's always wearing a blue shirt and he just wants
Speaker 1: the whole country to come together and embrace, and he'll
Speaker 1: be the vessel for that embrace. I understand these things.
Speaker 1: Biden to me, I've said it from the gut. He's
Speaker 1: such a mediocrity. And then he's obviously got this weird,
Speaker 1: handsy creep master thing going on here play fifteen, and
Speaker 1: I hope I wasn't taken that way, but there was.
Speaker 1: You know, I literally thinking is in combing them on me?
Speaker 1: I think everybody else to make sure that if you
Speaker 1: embrace someone, if you touch someone, it's with their consent,
Speaker 1: regardless of your intentions, even if you're trying to bring solace,
Speaker 1: you've been trying to welcome them, and it's it's my
Speaker 1: responsibility to do that. Okay, maybe we can move on.
Speaker 1: But I've been saying it all along. It's not conservatives
Speaker 1: that are quote pouncing here. It's not conservatives that are
Speaker 1: saying Biden's the old creepster weirdo. I mean, we're having
Speaker 1: some fun with him, being like he's kind of a
Speaker 1: creepy weirdo. But this is really a civil war you're
Speaker 1: seeing this. This is a they're using Biden as a
Speaker 1: proxy for power within the Democrat Party because Biden's very
Speaker 1: much a part of the old establishment. Just because he
Speaker 1: connected himself to Obama, just because he's attached to Obama
Speaker 1: as his vice president, doesn't mean that he is of
Speaker 1: the Obama wing of the Democrat Party. Really, he's not
Speaker 1: a progressive. He's an old school Pelosi Clinton Democrat political
Speaker 1: machine operative. That's what he is. And there, I think is,
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're seeing some of this happening here,
Speaker 1: and there are people that want to establish themselves as
Speaker 1: on the more woke side of this, including people that
Speaker 1: used to be you know, ready for her, on the
Speaker 1: Hillary side of things. They want to they see where
Speaker 1: this party, the Democrat Party's trending, they want to be
Speaker 1: in good with the with the hard left. Here's I've
Speaker 1: never heard of this person before, but Jess McIntosh, who
Speaker 1: was a senior advisor for Hillary Clinton. Although I feel
Speaker 1: like everyone's a senior advisor. R is anyone a junior advisor?
Speaker 1: Is a an every appear on TV. I was a
Speaker 1: junior advisor. I was like, you know, seventh man on
Speaker 1: the ape Man Deal team. But I'm here, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: talk about everyone's a senior advisor. Here's what Hillary advisor
Speaker 1: Jess McIntosh had to say about Biden in his apology
Speaker 1: at Play seventeen. Yeah. I mean I think he's he's
Speaker 1: got to take responsibility. I think that's what women are
Speaker 1: waiting to hear him do that. This excuse that that
Speaker 1: societal norms have changed just doesn't wash. I mean that
Speaker 1: that sort of paternal behavior towards women in a professional
Speaker 1: setting has been making women feel uncomfortable for generations. The
Speaker 1: only societal norm that has changed is that men seem
Speaker 1: to be taking us seriously when we complain about it now.
Speaker 1: So the idea that this behavior used to be okay
Speaker 1: and now it's not just really doesn't wash. I see
Speaker 1: an interesting nuance here, which is that she's claiming that
Speaker 1: now women are taken seriously in the context of the
Speaker 1: Biden discussion when they complain. But you'll note that women
Speaker 1: didn't complain before about Biden. I have not seen and
Speaker 1: I could be wrong here, but I have not seen
Speaker 1: a woman who come forward who claimed that she tried
Speaker 1: to make a big issue of this. I mean, maybe
Speaker 1: she told some people and he's a creepy weirdo, but
Speaker 1: but you know, this was not I've never seen. I
Speaker 1: never saw a story about this during the Obama years.
Speaker 1: Nobody went to a journalist. Nobody wanted in the social
Speaker 1: media era where there are all these people that they
Speaker 1: kept it quiet. They kept it very, very quiet. You've
Speaker 1: seen this with immediate time and again that they you know,
Speaker 1: this is just another version of Oh, I'm I'm in
Speaker 1: the press corps, I'm a photographer, and Obama is shaking
Speaker 1: hands with um yeah, with with with Lewis Farrakhan, and
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody to see that. So I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna hide that photos, just gonna hide that. You know.
Speaker 1: That's which you know, did happen in during the two
Speaker 1: thousand and eighty thousand and nine election. That's a problem.
Speaker 1: I mean This is why they're not purveyors of truth.
Speaker 1: There are people that are activists that are trying to
Speaker 1: push a certain narrative, and they suppressed Biden's creepiness because
Speaker 1: he was useful. He was part of the team. The
Speaker 1: thing with Democrats is that if you're on their team,
Speaker 1: there is no you know, if you're useful to them
Speaker 1: more so than on their team, even there is no
Speaker 1: principle that they will hold sacred. There's nothing they're unwilling
Speaker 1: to violate or do to protect you. But the moment
Speaker 1: you're not useful to them, they're not big on they're
Speaker 1: not big on loyalty. You know, if you stand in
Speaker 1: the way, all of a sudden, you find yourself in
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of trouble. But you know, these the
Speaker 1: woman who came forward, the first one, Flora's, she says
Speaker 1: that it was a political calculation, and I'm at least
Speaker 1: find it, I find it refreshing that she had the
Speaker 1: honesty to say that. But that's what she said. It
Speaker 1: was a political calculation to do this. And yeah, you
Speaker 1: don't say you don't say it, sure it sure as
Speaker 1: heck was. So I don't think that Biden is going
Speaker 1: to be the This is just my take on it,
Speaker 1: But I don't think that Biden is going to be
Speaker 1: the nominee. I really don't see it happening. For the Democrats,
Speaker 1: they just they're they're gone so far left that they
Speaker 1: are unable to have this old, kind of croniest, corporatist,
Speaker 1: boring white dude Joe Biden as their next candidate. They're
Speaker 1: just not going to do it. So very few, very
Speaker 1: few of you, I think, will care about this, but
Speaker 1: I find it of note the White House Correspondence dinner,
Speaker 1: which I will I will not attend. I will not
Speaker 1: go to. I don't care what year, I don't care
Speaker 1: what's Nope, it's a clown show and not in a
Speaker 1: fun way. Uh. This is what Trump said about the
Speaker 1: the correspondence dinner here in DC play eleven. Are you
Speaker 1: going to find that you're gonna hold a rally? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna hold a rally. Yeah, because the dinner is so
Speaker 1: faring and so negative that we're gonna hold a very
Speaker 1: positive rally. And so we haven't determined. We have about
Speaker 1: three sights. Everybody wants it, it'll be a big one.
Speaker 1: But the correspondent sinner is too negative. I like positive
Speaker 1: things today. I gotta say that whenever I'm having a
Speaker 1: day where I say, oh, man, Trump, you know, the
Speaker 1: agenda is stalled, and there are parts of what's going
Speaker 1: on that really do frustrate me. I just have to
Speaker 1: remind myself that Trump's ability to goad and poke at
Speaker 1: and agitate the media is just amazing. I mean, Trump
Speaker 1: really reminds me of you know that scene in die
Speaker 1: Hard where Holly John McClain played by of course, Bruce Willis.
Speaker 1: John McClain's wife sees the weird Swedish guy who loses
Speaker 1: his brother in the movie, and he comes in where
Speaker 1: the hostage is being held and he he smashes a
Speaker 1: bunch of things and she and the wife smiles, so
Speaker 1: she goes, only John could drive someone that crazy, you
Speaker 1: know about about Bruce Willis's character. That's how I feel
Speaker 1: about Trump with the media all the time. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's amazing. I know Trump is still in the fight.
Speaker 1: I know it's okay because only Trump can drive the
Speaker 1: media so completely insane. Exactly. They're so used to being
Speaker 1: able to shut everybody else down, terrify them into silence,
Speaker 1: you know, induce them to abandon their principles and sell
Speaker 1: out and Trump just he just keep crushing him and
Speaker 1: I do love him for it. Folks, It's Friday, which
Speaker 1: means that we'd like to mix it up here, like
Speaker 1: to keep everybody on their toes. And you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to be up on your very tippy toes to keep
Speaker 1: up with our next guest because he's seven foot nine.
Speaker 1: That's right, it is Jesse Kelly, the gigantic text in himself.
Speaker 1: He is joining us to talk about all the things
Speaker 1: good on this week. He is, in case you to know,
Speaker 1: a radio host in his own right down in Houston
Speaker 1: on kp RC. And my understanding, Jesse, is that you
Speaker 1: earn a new time slot that is right starting Monday,
Speaker 1: not tonight. Starting Monday. They obviously recognize my immense talent
Speaker 1: and I am being moved to primetime drivetime five to
Speaker 1: seven down here. So here you go KPRC Houston, you
Speaker 1: can check out my men. Jesse Kelly. All right, Jesse,
Speaker 1: let's get to some of the latest year. First of all,
Speaker 1: what is your I haven't even seen this yet, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure that John has his hand on
Speaker 1: the drop butt in case things get crazy. But what
Speaker 1: is your take on creepy Joe Biden, the hair sniffing,
Speaker 1: the shoulder massaging. You know, I'm like, how do I
Speaker 1: get some of that? I got ten shoulders? Well, what's
Speaker 1: going on? What do you think about all this? You know,
Speaker 1: to be honest, when it first started and I saw
Speaker 1: all the picture collages and things like that, I kind
Speaker 1: of cringed a little. But then I thought, you know,
Speaker 1: I know old people like that, especially generationally. I know
Speaker 1: people of that generation. They're really just they're they're just
Speaker 1: handsy people. That's this. They were brought up that way.
Speaker 1: That's how they are. And I don't like one thing
Speaker 1: I really don't like, and I don't like gossip, and
Speaker 1: I don't like making accusations of pervert to people and
Speaker 1: stuff like. I think that's I think that can get
Speaker 1: pretty ugly. So that's where I was. And then I
Speaker 1: saw a video, not pictures, video compilation of all the
Speaker 1: c SPAN videos of him swearing in congressmen and their
Speaker 1: family and he's there with their wives and their young
Speaker 1: daughters lots of the time, and it made my skin crawl. Dude,
Speaker 1: that that is more than just a man who likes
Speaker 1: to have his hands on people. There would be little girls,
Speaker 1: you know, almost trying to pull them away, and he
Speaker 1: like holds them back. Then he's nuzzling into their ears
Speaker 1: and hands wrapped not just on the shoulders, around the fronts.
Speaker 1: We're getting really close to inappropriate. Dude, something I haven't
Speaker 1: seen that video. This is this is even creepier than
Speaker 1: I realized it was. I'm not kidding, man. I was
Speaker 1: completely on the I'll just let him go. He's kind
Speaker 1: of a hand the old man train. And then I
Speaker 1: saw videotape, not still pictures which people can do things with,
Speaker 1: videotape from c SPAN and it was a compilation and
Speaker 1: it was the creepiest thinking thing I have ever seen.
Speaker 1: Like I thought, boy, that that's a predator. Now, why
Speaker 1: why is it Wow going pulling out the P word
Speaker 1: for for old Man Biden on this one, because because Jesse,
Speaker 1: you know, one part of this that I think people
Speaker 1: want to just skip right past, and they really can't,
Speaker 1: or they shouldn't be able to, is that this stuff
Speaker 1: was going on in truly and literally full view of
Speaker 1: the press for eight years of the Obama administration. And
Speaker 1: you'll notice that Obama, both Barack and Michelle very quiet
Speaker 1: on this one very quiet. But I have heard and
Speaker 1: this is just the rumor. But I've heard this now
Speaker 1: from two different sources of mine that say these Biden
Speaker 1: rumors are coming from the Obama camp, that that's why
Speaker 1: they're getting so much traction, and they're getting put in
Speaker 1: the media so much that only Obama's people hold the
Speaker 1: power to plant a story in that many different media sources.
Speaker 1: How about, it's definitely coming from a left. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is Democrat on Democrat warfare. This is not conservatives
Speaker 1: that made this thing a story. No, it's not. I'd
Speaker 1: heard the Biden people were convinced it was Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 1: But I heard twice today from people who, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: would know that they think almost they're almost positive this
Speaker 1: is coming from Obama. Joe Biden does not have Obama's backing.
Speaker 1: Obama has not said a word. If Joe Biden had
Speaker 1: Barack Obama's backing, that would have been what he'd lead
Speaker 1: with as he gets into this race. But he hasn't
Speaker 1: said a word. I think Obama's learning with Beto. Actually,
Speaker 1: I also didn't get a chance to discuss you. Earlier
Speaker 1: in the week was Equal pay Day, and I thought
Speaker 1: it was so funny. I saw this story. I think
Speaker 1: it was from I don't know, Time magazine or something,
Speaker 1: oh something like fifty percent of men think that equal
Speaker 1: payday is not a real problem. And I responded to
Speaker 1: do it. Well, that's because it's not a real problem.
Speaker 1: But why does this persist? Jesse kellyo, And what do
Speaker 1: people need to know about equal pay day that we
Speaker 1: already have it? For one, that's already the law. There's
Speaker 1: not like some new law. You don't reassert something that's
Speaker 1: already the law. It's already the law that you're paid
Speaker 1: equal for equal work in this country. And if you
Speaker 1: break down the economics of it, it's already in effect,
Speaker 1: meaning people women are making the same amount as men
Speaker 1: who are working the same jobs in the same areas.
Speaker 1: It's just the fact. So it's all this is. It's
Speaker 1: like every other movement, but it's like the civil rights
Speaker 1: movement has become it's like the meat too movement. Any
Speaker 1: movement that starts out for good reasons eventually turns into
Speaker 1: a gigantic scam and a grift for power and money. Oh,
Speaker 1: you mean like the Southern Poverty Law Center where they're
Speaker 1: sexually harassing people paying themselves huge salaries and just trying
Speaker 1: to smear conservatives on the weekends pretty much. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's oh yeah, oh yeah. And you know what, I
Speaker 1: don't even want to act like this is just isolated
Speaker 1: and left. I'm not naming any names, but there are
Speaker 1: plenty of groups on the right that started out for
Speaker 1: good reasons or people that contribute to them for good reasons,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, five years later, it's a
Speaker 1: five oh one C three and the CEO makes a
Speaker 1: million bucks a year off of Grandma's sending in their
Speaker 1: social Security check. Tell me a bit about why Kevin
Speaker 1: Costner is the biggest and the best actor in would
Speaker 1: you say like alive or all time? I mean, you're
Speaker 1: you're like Kevin Costner super fan? And why is Kevin
Speaker 1: Costner on your radar? Of all time? Absolutely? Of all time?
Speaker 1: I watched that movie The Highwayman that's on Netflix. It's
Speaker 1: about the Texas. I was gonna watch that this weekend.
Speaker 1: We didn't even coordinate this. That was that's actually my
Speaker 1: social life for the weekend is watching The Highwamen. Are
Speaker 1: you telling me it's good? It's outstanding, gritty and outstanding
Speaker 1: and accurate, And I mean scarily accurate. I actually know
Speaker 1: the Body and Clyde story really well. But beyond that,
Speaker 1: name an actor who is in more great movies. Thank
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner. Think about Kevin Costner's resume, because people sneer
Speaker 1: when you're saying it's the greatest of all time. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, no one can touch it. Maybe Denzel maybe
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio. Think about the movies Kevin cost has been in,
Speaker 1: Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, Team Tups, Robin Hood, Princess Thieves.
Speaker 1: It's a long, long, long list, A long list for
Speaker 1: the love of the game, a perfect World, the guys
Speaker 1: that got a lot of them in a lot of hits,
Speaker 1: Dances with the wool, who has more? Jesse Kelly. If
Speaker 1: I don't bring up water World though people at people
Speaker 1: gonna say that I'm going soft on you here, No,
Speaker 1: that's there, but here hear me out. Water World is
Speaker 1: not a bad movie. We washed water World. You've seen
Speaker 1: water World? You maybe have seen it twice? I know, hi,
Speaker 1: I have. I have seen it a few I've seen
Speaker 1: it a few times. Actually, am I gonna lie? I
Speaker 1: enjoy it? It failed to meet expectations, but that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean it's a bad movie and we can't judge it
Speaker 1: a greatness of an actor on their stink bombs. Everyone
Speaker 1: points out Costner's water World. Look at any other actor
Speaker 1: you think belongs on that list above Costner and go
Speaker 1: to their well. I think I think that you're taking
Speaker 1: a bold stance here, Jesse Kelly. Everybody you should listen
Speaker 1: to my man Jesse Kelly on KPRC Houston. Follow him
Speaker 1: also on Twitter at Jesse Kelly The Literally Jesse Kelly.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for I'm Matt. Have a great
Speaker 1: weekend and appreciate you joining us here in the Freedom Hunt.
Speaker 1: Be good brother. No party like a Team Buck party,
Speaker 1: because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got
Speaker 1: Bucks turned up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed,
Speaker 1: it is Friday, so we'll do a double dose, double
Speaker 1: dose double trouble of the roll call, bubble, boil and
Speaker 1: trouble whatever it is from the I know I was
Speaker 1: supposed to be kind of a Macbeth reference, and some
Speaker 1: of you know that play much better than me. Let's
Speaker 1: get to it's Steven Hey. Buck started listening to your
Speaker 1: show just weeks ago. Honestly, water beds aren't all that great.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me, but I don't like the feeling
Speaker 1: of sleeping on top of water. By the way. Shields
Speaker 1: high shields out of you, Stephen. I believe you. On
Speaker 1: the waterbeds, man, I just have always I've always been
Speaker 1: kind of curious. I have never experienced waterbed for myself.
Speaker 1: I do not think that it's something that I would
Speaker 1: be particularly into. I was just telling the story today
Speaker 1: to some colleagues about the trip I went on when
Speaker 1: I was in grammar school and we went I went
Speaker 1: to a Catholic school in New York, and we're on
Speaker 1: our eighth grade trip. We went on this this whale
Speaker 1: watching trip, and you know, we figured, oh, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be amazing because you see all these Nature Channel shows
Speaker 1: about whale watching, right, and you're just like, oh, look
Speaker 1: at the magnificent spam whale breaching the surface, you know,
Speaker 1: and you see humpback whales leaping out of the ocean
Speaker 1: and all all kinds of stuff like that, Right, you
Speaker 1: think that that's that's not what whale watching usually is.
Speaker 1: Like those of you don't know, Usually you're on a boat,
Speaker 1: which already in the ocean is not freshwater boats. I'm
Speaker 1: cool I like. I like the water when it is freshwater,
Speaker 1: so rivers, lakes. I'm into all that ocean. If I
Speaker 1: am within site of land, I'm good. The moment i
Speaker 1: am not within sight of land, I am not a fan. Right,
Speaker 1: So you see these nature documentaries, you think you're going
Speaker 1: to see these incredible breaches. Turns out humpback whales. Seeing
Speaker 1: them breach is actually very rare for most, like I
Speaker 1: mean not if you're studying them, but for people that
Speaker 1: go out to just see them, you tend not to
Speaker 1: get that lucky. And what you see is kind of
Speaker 1: a It looks like like like a couple of trash
Speaker 1: bags in the distance, like float to the surface for
Speaker 1: a second and float down. Everyone goes, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: there it's a well. And and so that that part
Speaker 1: of it was disappointing. I don't think we I actually
Speaker 1: don't think we saw any whales. So there was that.
Speaker 1: But beyond that, and then then what they do on
Speaker 1: whale watching boats. And it was the fall, and it
Speaker 1: was up in New England and it was freezing. You know,
Speaker 1: I could have used a cup of chouda because it
Speaker 1: was very cold. And then they give you they give
Speaker 1: you like fishing poles, as if that's gonna make it
Speaker 1: make it all better. You're not seeing whales, but maybe
Speaker 1: you're gonna like catch some scud off the side of
Speaker 1: the boat. And then people started getting seasick. And I
Speaker 1: gotta tell you that I was not the sickest, but
Speaker 1: I was getting there and being on a boat with
Speaker 1: forty thirteen year olds or fourteen year olds, half of
Speaker 1: whom are tossing their cookies. It was like a nightmare
Speaker 1: that I will never forget. And I can't believe that
Speaker 1: our teachers managed to make it through it. So I
Speaker 1: am not a I'm a landlubber, is what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say. I'm a land lubber. I wear boat shoes.
Speaker 1: It is an appropriation of nautical culture. I do not,
Speaker 1: in fact, enjoy the open ocean. I'm just saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. If it came down a navy or air force,
Speaker 1: I'd probably go air force, just because I'm okay with
Speaker 1: planes and not being on boats. Jim Rights, Hey, Buck,
Speaker 1: we met at SPAK. Let me know if you need
Speaker 1: an assistant when you travel to China. I was in
Speaker 1: Hong Kong a little while ago. My passport is up
Speaker 1: to date. Seriously, man, let me know. Well, Jim, thank
Speaker 1: you very much. We'll see if the Chinese consulate will
Speaker 1: approve my travel. It turns out that this can be
Speaker 1: a complicated matter when you are google able and XCIA
Speaker 1: and nationally syndicated radio and TV personality is what comes
Speaker 1: up on the interwebs. So fingers crossed that this all
Speaker 1: actually goes through. It's been a little complicated, Carlole Rights.
Speaker 1: I was watching Tucker last night and he commented that
Speaker 1: perhaps some of the decisions Trump is making may mean
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to win the next election. While I
Speaker 1: would not blame him after these last few years, what
Speaker 1: do you think and do you think Schultz running would
Speaker 1: hurt the Republicans of the Democrats more? Love the show
Speaker 1: Shields High, Carla. I really mean this, and I know
Speaker 1: that it's a kind of alternate universe analysis. I would
Speaker 1: never run for president. I would never run for public office.
Speaker 1: I just don't have the mentality and the stomach for it.
Speaker 1: I would not want to be president, although I would
Speaker 1: be a badass president, we all know that. But I
Speaker 1: would not want to be president. I'd rather have the
Speaker 1: freedom that I do in my life. I mean, I
Speaker 1: didn't even like being a government bureaucrat. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: being in charge of the government. I know there's some
Speaker 1: huge benefits leader of the free world mark on history. Obviously,
Speaker 1: afterwards you write a book or rather someone else writes
Speaker 1: it free, and you make millions of millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: But it's also very confining, and you have all these
Speaker 1: people that hate you, and you're going through all this stress.
Speaker 1: If you look at George W. Bush, I mean he
Speaker 1: aged at triple speed over the course of his presidency.
Speaker 1: I mean he went into the presidency a guy who
Speaker 1: could probably bench two fifty and six minute miles, and
Speaker 1: by the end of it, I mean he was an
Speaker 1: old guy. I mean he was he was beaten down.
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know. I couldn't pretend to
Speaker 1: tell you what Trump's mentality is when it comes to
Speaker 1: whether he would run again or not. You know, I
Speaker 1: can't tell you that exactly, I think. I mean, people
Speaker 1: said originally that he didn't want to win the election,
Speaker 1: and I just find that, I mean, that's an interesting theory,
Speaker 1: and we've never really gotten confirmation one way or the other,
Speaker 1: except for the fact that he managed to run so
Speaker 1: effectively that he did win, which I think would be
Speaker 1: kind of hard. So yeah. And then as for Schultz
Speaker 1: running hurting the Republicans, I think it would definitely hurt
Speaker 1: the Democrats more because what this election, based on all
Speaker 1: the data, all the polling and everything we have so
Speaker 1: far and also previous elections, what it's going to come
Speaker 1: down to our white working class voters in the states
Speaker 1: that I always talk about, you know, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: maybe Nevada. I mean, these are the states that are
Speaker 1: really in play in a meaningful way. And I think
Speaker 1: in those places, if you have, say a Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: or a Joe Biden candidate, which right now those are
Speaker 1: the top two for the Democrats, there would be a
Speaker 1: fair amount of flight from Bernie Sanders to Schultz. Biden
Speaker 1: maybe not so much, but I think there are people
Speaker 1: who just instinctually understand that a democratic socialist running for
Speaker 1: president United States is not something that would be good,
Speaker 1: That this would be problematic in many ways, so or
Speaker 1: winning at least would not be good. And what else
Speaker 1: did you ask? I think that's it? Oh, yeah, you
Speaker 1: asked if I think Trump wants to lose No. I
Speaker 1: think Trump never wants to lose. I mean, that's not
Speaker 1: really in his nature to want to throw the match.
Speaker 1: He's a very competitive guy. But I'm sure this wears.
Speaker 1: This wears on him. I mean I think that you know,
Speaker 1: he's a guy who likes being prominent, and he's going
Speaker 1: to be super famous and prominent even when he stops
Speaker 1: being president. He's still going to have his Twitter account
Speaker 1: with sixty or eighty or whatever it is million followers.
Speaker 1: So he's still going to be able to do a
Speaker 1: lot of what he does right now if he wants to.
Speaker 1: He just won't be the leader of the free world. Oh. Next,
Speaker 1: next up here we have this is from Steve. Someone
Speaker 1: in the Trump administration needs to confirm that Supreme Court
Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg is still alive and working. I don't trust
Speaker 1: the pictures and videos. Get fingerprints and blood tests to
Speaker 1: prove the person's not an impostor. Um. Let's see start
Speaker 1: the approval process if it's not her, for the next
Speaker 1: constitutional conservative justice asap, because the anti Americans will delay
Speaker 1: and obstruct the process at every turn. Steve, I don't
Speaker 1: I do think that it is Justice Ginsburg. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you're messing with me or not. But it's
Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg. They're not. This is not like the movie, Dave.
Speaker 1: They did not find a person who looks exactly like
Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg to replace her. And I know I think
Speaker 1: you're kidding, although I can entirely tell from your your
Speaker 1: message here, so we'll see. But it is Justice Ginsburg
Speaker 1: and the bizarro cult around RBG that the Democrats have created.
Speaker 1: It just goes to show you that they can do
Speaker 1: that for anyone. The media has enough narrative power and
Speaker 1: left wing cohesiveness still that there's nothing that you know
Speaker 1: that they can convince people, at least some people of
Speaker 1: anything that they choose to. So there you have it.
Speaker 1: They can convince people that RBG is some kind of
Speaker 1: a hero team. I'm gonna go into a just a
Speaker 1: brief breather here, Where to come back? When to finish
Speaker 1: strong on some more roll call like soft butter on
Speaker 1: warm toast. Time to spread some freedom coast to coast.
Speaker 1: It's time for roll call faksbook dot com, slash buck
Speaker 1: Sexton And remember all I want for Christmas, even though
Speaker 1: it's April, is for you to tell one of your friends, colleagues,
Speaker 1: fellow patriots, random dude that you're standing behind in line
Speaker 1: at CBS. When that person's like, but I can't get
Speaker 1: cash back, No, you can't get cash back. But what
Speaker 1: about me getting cash back? Nope, can't get cash back.
Speaker 1: Tell that person or any person to listen to the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show to download it on iTunes, or to
Speaker 1: listen live on the iHeart Radio app, or however you
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts. Because the podcast of the show is
Speaker 1: the bomba dot Com. Scott writes, Buck, You're always recommending
Speaker 1: books that sound something I want to read, but I'm
Speaker 1: also always driving when I listen to you. Is there
Speaker 1: anywhere I can go to see a list of the
Speaker 1: books you recommended? Scott, You're one of many folks that
Speaker 1: have asked this, and the answer I have to give
Speaker 1: you is no. I do not have yet a place
Speaker 1: where I keep all of the recommendations of books that
Speaker 1: I make on this show, because it just kind of
Speaker 1: comes to me. Sometimes I tell people read this book,
Speaker 1: or read that book, or you know, I'm right now
Speaker 1: in the process of really figuring out what my next
Speaker 1: I usually line up three books at a time, and
Speaker 1: I try to get through all three before I line
Speaker 1: up another three that tends to be my way, and
Speaker 1: I'm kind of you know, I I have a problem too,
Speaker 1: where I refuse to abandon a book even when I should, right,
Speaker 1: even when it's clear that a certain book is not
Speaker 1: getting it done. I'm I'm gonna just plow through it.
Speaker 1: You know. Recently I tried to get I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: tell you I tried to get through Treasure Island because
Speaker 1: I find I never was a find it in school,
Speaker 1: and Robert Louis Stevenson, between Treasure Island and Doctor Jacqueline
Speaker 1: mister Hyde as two great classics of literature. I think
Speaker 1: Robert Lewis Stevenson's writing is kind of kind of whack.
Speaker 1: I mean, the story, the stories are really cool, but
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a slog to get through it.
Speaker 1: It's not but I had to finish it, so I did.
Speaker 1: But that's what I mean. I just I won't stop.
Speaker 1: And I did see someone pointing out today that Buddha
Speaker 1: judge and I can someone just can we get an
Speaker 1: official ruling on the guy's friggin name. I've heard Buddha Jedge,
Speaker 1: Buddha judge, budge whatever. Can we just get someone to
Speaker 1: explain how to say that guy's name, but I saw
Speaker 1: that he said that he liked James Joyce Ulysses and
Speaker 1: that's what That is. One of the all time classic
Speaker 1: books that people will say that they like, that they
Speaker 1: think they should like, but have not really read, and
Speaker 1: even if they've read it, they don't like it. But
Speaker 1: it's just personal branding. Oh I love you know, I
Speaker 1: love James Joyce. Another one is that I come across
Speaker 1: is The Power Broker. It's a biography of Robert Moses
Speaker 1: written by Caro and it is dense. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: very good, but people are always like, oh, I love
Speaker 1: The Power Broker. I'm like, really, you get all you
Speaker 1: get all the way through it? Yeah, Ulysses by James Joyce.
Speaker 1: I mean there are some others too. You could send
Speaker 1: me your thoughts on this one on Facebook. What are
Speaker 1: the books that people pretend to have read and everyone
Speaker 1: kind of knows that they haven't read it, but everyone
Speaker 1: else wants to pretend that they've read it too. It
Speaker 1: is they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, that sounds like
Speaker 1: a book that I'm really into. I mean, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: here's a great one. This is a straight up bookshelf
Speaker 1: only book. Adam Smith The Wealth of Nations. Nobody has
Speaker 1: read that book. Okay. If you see that book in
Speaker 1: someone's home, they're like, I'm gonna have an Adam Smith
Speaker 1: book on my bookshelf. It's it's literature signaling, folks. That's
Speaker 1: what it is, all right. You see, I got fired
Speaker 1: up about this. Ah William right, something long. Oh this
Speaker 1: is important. Don't read on air, okay, William, I will
Speaker 1: not read it on air. I'll read it to myself afterwards.
Speaker 1: Roberts writes, what about Betto's white privilege where he got
Speaker 1: off on multiple times when he got out of charges
Speaker 1: against him. That's what it would be called by anyone
Speaker 1: else or for anyone else, Robert, very interesting dynamic that
Speaker 1: is playing out in this Democrat primary is how the
Speaker 1: kind of push against whiteness and white privilege on the
Speaker 1: left for the next president is is very very apparent
Speaker 1: to me. You know, this is considered a knock on
Speaker 1: someone if if they're white, and you think about Buddha
Speaker 1: Jedge and Bernie Sanders. Look, I don't care. I don't
Speaker 1: care what someone's sexual orientation is, what their skin color is,
Speaker 1: what they're really is. I would just like a competent
Speaker 1: person with a vision that is compatible with the future
Speaker 1: that I see for this country to be in a
Speaker 1: position of government power. That's it. You know, I don't care.
Speaker 1: The optics of the individual do not matter to me,
Speaker 1: but of course on the left, I think it's the
Speaker 1: most important thing about it. Candidate. I think that the
Speaker 1: leftists believe that those superficial characteristics are critical. But in
Speaker 1: the case of Bernie Sanders and Buddha Judge, Bernie Sanders
Speaker 1: would be the first Jewish president in the country's history.
Speaker 1: Buddha Judge would be the first gay president, in openly
Speaker 1: gay president in the country's history. And that doesn't counter
Speaker 1: as diversity in this conversation because they're white, And I
Speaker 1: think that's very it's very interesting window into the mindset
Speaker 1: of the left right now. It seems it strikes me,
Speaker 1: as you know, what are we supposed to take away
Speaker 1: from that? David next up here, Buckman, which is technically
Speaker 1: my name shields high like everyone else. The Smolette dismissal
Speaker 1: shocked me to the soul. But I have a theory
Speaker 1: to throw your way for discussion. Smolette's lawyer was named
Speaker 1: as a co conspirator in the Avanati extortion case. Did
Speaker 1: Jesse Smolette roll over on his own lawyer in a
Speaker 1: bigger case. That's the only explanation that makes sense. No, David,
Speaker 1: I maybe I can't tell you you're wrong, but I
Speaker 1: can tell you that no, Jesse Smolette is a protected
Speaker 1: a protected connected minority in Chicago, and that means that
Speaker 1: he got a different kind of justice, which is injustice,
Speaker 1: but great for him, bad for the system, and bad
Speaker 1: for the rest of us to watch it play out. Team,
Speaker 1: I now can send you off onto the rest of
Speaker 1: your weekend with nothing but blue skies and happy days ahead.
Speaker 1: At least that's what I'm hoping for you. I'll be
Speaker 1: talking to you Monday and every day next week, same time,
Speaker 1: same place, shield Hie
