I got mixed emotions, 22 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: mixed feelings about what this is all gonna turn into. 23 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: I'm seeing all this reporting, including right on Fox News, 24 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: that it's about to happen, not like while I'm on air, 25 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: although wouldn't that be interesting. Probably tomorrow, people are saying 26 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: maybe Monday. As I have told people earlier today when 27 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: I was on out Numbered on Fox News, which the 28 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: show I love doing. It's great show. It's really fun, 29 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: it's really uh good conversation, upbeat, really like it. Um, 30 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: but that was earlier to then, and I just said, look, 31 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: there's there's not a there's not another option here other 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: than release the memo. There's no other Hey, what do 33 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: you to this point? I mean, this is this is 34 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: like you're gonna turn this memo into the into the roswell, 35 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, landings and aliens and stuff. You can't do that. 36 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, We've been talking about this for weeks. It's 37 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: been a NonStop news cycle on the memo. But you 38 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: know what, Sorry America, think about what that message. I mean, 39 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: it's actually gone to the point where it's almost comical. 40 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: I know, it's about really serious stuff. Think about what 41 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: the message would be that this is sending neither the 42 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: President nor the Congress really has the ability the right 43 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: to tell the American people about what a subservient branch 44 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, subservient part of not branch part of the 45 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: government has been up to. Yeah, that's a good precedent 46 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: to set to set. Let me tell you one of 47 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: the things that most separates us from all these scary 48 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: countries around the world. And people will talk about fascism 49 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: and a police state somebody who knows something about how 50 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: intelligence works in this country, but also in other countries too. 51 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: One of the things about different intelligence agencies is they 52 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time learning about what intelligence is 53 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: like in other countries. Right, And here's a sign of 54 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: a country that you've got to be concerned about. When 55 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: you're i think, when you're talking about liberty and rule 56 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: of law and civil rights and all that all that 57 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: good stuff. When the intelligence agencies or agency, if it's 58 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: kind of one super agency, when they are accountable to 59 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: no one except the leader, and in fact, in many 60 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: ways are more powerful than the leader, then you've got 61 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: a really bad situation going on. And what you will 62 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: also see historically is that there are plenty of times 63 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: when whoever was running the intelligence agency of any given country, 64 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: And this is definitely in the in the twentieth century, 65 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: and that's when we really have had the whole notion 66 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: of a modern intelligence organization. Right before that, it was 67 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: very different. And before you had mass communication and you know, 68 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: it was tough to be doing stuff at a certain 69 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: speed and uh before you had phones, right before you 70 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: had radio. Um. But you had people that would be 71 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: senior in the intelligence agency who would end up running 72 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: the country, right people that were the higher ups of 73 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: whatever the internal security service was, and they end up 74 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: running the country. That's because they can amass so much 75 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: power because if they don't have any restrictions on the 76 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: information they can get on people. Think of what that 77 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: means for their sway in politics, even if they don't 78 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: have elections, although you know a lot of countries have 79 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: elections that are for show. And you look at some 80 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: of the different stands for example, and you got, yeah, 81 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: their elections, the one candidate wins percent of the vote 82 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: and has for the last thirty years. But there are elections. 83 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: I always love that too. What's why not just go? 84 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: You know, why stop at ninety eight or I just 85 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: want to maybe so they put some people on notice. 86 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, maybe we could say later on that 87 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: you were part of that naughty two percent that didn't 88 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: vote for the same guys running the country for twenty 89 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: or thirty years. The bottom line here, folks, is you 90 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: can't have an intelligence and law enforcement apparatus that is 91 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: above the law and above people, above the people, we 92 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: the people. You just can't do it. And this whole 93 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: conversation has, I think, on so much more damage, so 94 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: much more damage to our trust and faith and institutions 95 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: then was necessary. Does anyone really think that the FBI 96 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: doesn't have people who make mistakes? I also noticed that 97 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: we're so focused in the f I. FBI is a 98 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: subsidiary of the Department of Justice. This is all really 99 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: d o J. And the d o J was run 100 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: by recently Loretta Lynch and before that Eric Holder. Anybody 101 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: really think that they were running a shop that wasn't political. 102 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: Come on, right, we all know, we're all we're all 103 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: big boys and girls here. We all know this. This 104 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: is not surprising. And I've been trying to avoid what 105 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: the Democrats want us to do here, which is to 106 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: make this all about the institutions. Oh, they've been complaining 107 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: the institutions from the very beginning, and I always want 108 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: to respond to them. In this instance, what could be 109 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: a bigger abuse? I mean, if we're not worried about 110 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: the FBI, the d o J involving itself in a 111 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: partisan fashion, or really in any fashion, and a presidential 112 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: election hoping to turn it one way or the other 113 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: by using spying powers, If that doesn't worry us, what's 114 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: the point of having an over site committee. I mean, 115 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: if Congress isn't going to use and and look I 116 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: think they have and they will and probably tomorrow we're 117 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: gonna find out what's in this memo and everything else. 118 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: But if they're not going to use their oversight powers 119 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: for this, then what do they have oversight powers? Now, 120 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: let's let's all just keep it real here, let's not 121 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: get caught up in the nonsense. There is just, frankly, 122 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: no way that this memo was going to be suppressed, 123 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: That that was gonna be okay, that was never gonna 124 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: be okay. I've been trying to tell you all along here. Uh. 125 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: And I actually went to Twitter today just so I 126 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: kind of had a written version of my prediction for 127 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. You know what, We're gonna talk about 128 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: some other stuff on the show too, because I'm sure 129 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: you start to get memo fatigue. I got memo fatigue, 130 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: and one of the things that keeps me going with 131 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: it it is just every time I want to move 132 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: off the memo and talk to you. But you know, 133 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: like we talked Cartel's North Korea, we cover a lot 134 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: of ground near the economy clearly right. My latest s 135 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: campades in the kitchen with cooking. I'll tell you about 136 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: that too later on a lot of things. Netflix shows 137 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: action movie quotes. You know you listen. But every time 138 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 1: I see a false narrative from the left about this memo, 139 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, I'm not I 140 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: can't let them get away with it. I almost have 141 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: a compulsion two shoot down their lies because it bothers me. 142 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: It really does bother me. And they've tried so many 143 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: different dishonest and in some cases quite slimy tricks to 144 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: either make the memo go away. You're making it's not 145 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: a big deal. I've written out what I think is 146 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: going to happen. So here's my my memo prediction for tomorrow, 147 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: and we'll see how accurate I am based on this. 148 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: Number One, Fusion GPS dossier usage confirmed for FISA warrant. 149 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: I think we will see the Fusion GPS played a 150 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: role here. Now we already think that that it will 151 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: be confirmed, which is different. That is different, Okay. Number 152 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: two other unspecified things still kept classified, also part of 153 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: the warrant. Now I can't tell you what that is. 154 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: I don't have access anymore, which is a good thing 155 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: because if I did, I couldn't talk to you about 156 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: any of this anymore. But that's I think gonna be 157 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: a part of this as well, which then leads into 158 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: number three. Democrats will argue that this is a tiny 159 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: part of the overall picture. So you're gonna have the 160 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: the GPS dossier Hillary APO was used by the spying 161 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: apparatus at least in some level, in some way to 162 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: look at Trump people. I think that will be confirmed tomorrow. 163 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: These are my predictions. And then the Democrats will say, well, 164 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: but those other stuff, and so therefore number three here 165 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: is that they will argue, this is a tiny part 166 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: of the overall picture. What's the other stuff? Oh, I 167 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: can't tell you that sources and methods, sources and methods. 168 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: The number four is going to be the the d 169 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: o J. However, to anybody who is being honest about 170 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: this looks bad. And what I mean by that is 171 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: this was a presidential election. Everyone the the threshold, the 172 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: bar or what should be needed to use the spying 173 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: apparatus of the United States government, and we're talking to 174 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: high level stuff here, the threshold for using that against 175 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: a presidential campaign. You know, I remember, you know, when 176 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: I was working on the intelligence side that we got 177 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: so many lectures and ethics training and had legal repercussions 178 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: and ramifications like you do not mess around on US 179 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: soil with a B or C. You do not do 180 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,119 Speaker 1: these things, those things, And it was really and FISA 181 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: is treated within the community at least it used to 182 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: be as highly sensitive, very close hold stuff. And you 183 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: you know, and if you ever were to have abused 184 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: FISA in any way, it was not you were I mean, 185 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: the least of your problems was gonna be that you 186 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: were getting fired. Right, So, given that that the Department 187 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: or Justice could have allowed this to happen, even if 188 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: it is not immediately provable that this was just a 189 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: political hit, on Trump. Based on what they released probably tomorrow, 190 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: they're just gonna look like a combination d O J 191 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: is gonna look incompetent and dishonest. Now, not the whole place, 192 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: not everybody, but those individuals that were involved in this 193 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: doesn't it does not pass the smell test that they 194 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: would have done this that. Think about it this way. Everyone, 195 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: you're in the room, okay, and put yourself This is 196 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: a very useful exercise with any of these highly political 197 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: government cases stories that we've been talking about here. Put 198 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: yourself in the shoes. You're in the room, and so 199 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: and says, hey, so, I think you know, I've got 200 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 1: a couple of sources that are saying something about Trump Russia. 201 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: By the way, that was out there in the open source, right, 202 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people say, oh Trump and Russia, 203 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: and there's all these connections. I've even heard rumors with 204 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: no factual basis, Oh Russia, organized crime. Trump. People just 205 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: say this stuff. Right, it's a presidential campaign. You're sitting 206 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: in the room and they go, hey, you know what, 207 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: I've got this guy who's doing work for the d 208 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: n C. Now maybe they didn't know that, but who 209 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: knows what they know we're finding that out. I've got 210 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: this guy that was doing work for the d n 211 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: C and and he's got some really really bombshell level 212 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: stuff on Trump. Uh, why don't we just whyn we 213 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: just start tapping some phones and some people around Trump 214 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 1: and see what's going on with that. That that would 215 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: not send up the biggest, brightest red flags for any 216 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: honest government employee at that level within the d o 217 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: J is mind boggling. It's just mind boggling. And so 218 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: then that brings me to again playing our game here 219 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: of are you in the are you in the shoes 220 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: of the government bureaucrat that praised me what they had 221 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: to know that this was bad and they did it anyway, 222 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: probably because I thought Hillary would win. They get away 223 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: with it. But also never forget that if they had 224 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: ever gotten information during this surveillance that was truly game 225 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: over for Trump, it would have been game over for Trump. 226 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: It was a risk that they were taking too. They 227 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: could have been heroes, the heroes of the hashtag resistance. 228 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: Oh and then number five on my list, so number 229 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: one was the Fusion GPS dossier confirmed. Number two other 230 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: unspecified things also part of the five's activity number Three, 231 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: Democrats will argue this a tiny part of the overall picture. 232 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: Four D O J top level will look bad. Five 233 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: And this is the annoying part everyone. But I'm just 234 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: gonna tell you the Russia conspiracy theory lives on. It's 235 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: not gonna go away based on this memo. But this 236 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: is a battle I think that the Democrats are about 237 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: to lose. Is just a question how badly what kind 238 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: of casualties, so to speak, does the Russia collusion conspiracy 239 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: narrative take once this memo is out there on the street, 240 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: and you know it could be tomorrow, which I mean, well, 241 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: a very interesting freestyle Friday. I mean tomorrow night. You're 242 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: always welcome to call with action movie quotes. But things 243 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: could get things could get feisty tomorrow night on this 244 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: radio show if we got a memo to work with. 245 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: So there is that I see some lines lit. Do 246 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: feel free to call in. We've got lines open here 247 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hunt. We've got a lot more to discuss. 248 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: Talk about Trump's visit to West Virginia today. Also, maybe 249 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: I'll get to this, Uh, this teacher on California, he's 250 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: just saying idiotic, terrible stuff about the military, you know, 251 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: they're there're really only a few things left in the 252 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: country that you you publicly degrade at your peril, no 253 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: matter who you are, there are only a few things left, 254 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: you know. Unfortunately, the military is still one of them. 255 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: So I can't imagine how anybody could be so thoughtless 256 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: and so dumb. But we might get into a little 257 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: bit of a discussion there as well, because I want to. 258 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: I want to address some of the idiotic points that 259 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: were made. Um and I got a whole lot of 260 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: stuff talking about, so when he had a quick break, 261 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. The neat media is part 262 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: of the deep state. The elite media group has survived 263 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: by being in collusion with the senior bureaucracy, the City 264 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: of Washington, the senior reporters, the senior bureaucrats, the senior lobbyists. 265 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: They all hang out together, They all talked to each other, 266 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: they all compare notes when they get to read this. 267 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: What the American people need to understand is that the 268 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: Obama administration, in a series of steps that clearly violated 269 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: the law, tried to both protect Hillary Clinton and tried 270 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: to destroy Donald Trump, and both actions were illegal. Uh 271 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: and we're now in a situation, I believe where you're 272 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: gonna see a requirement in the near future for an 273 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: independent council literally to clean out the senior FBI and 274 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: the senior Justice Department and to go after people who 275 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: have left office who were part of the Obama team 276 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: that was so clearly violating the law. That's former Speaker 277 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: new Gingrich. Obviously, I know you all know that. But 278 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: just to give the man credit for his words, I 279 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: agree with everything he said except this I am not 280 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: clear on. And I think this might and I'm trying 281 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: to be responsible and how I say they're respectful and 282 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: how I say this, I don't think they broke the law. 283 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that they didn't do something really bad. 284 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: But just hear me out here, when we're talking about 285 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: not bringing if we're talking about the FBI and the 286 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: d o J not bringing charges against Hillary, that's not 287 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: breaking the law. That is refusing to enforce the law 288 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: for political reasons. Not the same thing Hillary broke the law. Yes, 289 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: So if he's talking about Hillary, no question she broke 290 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: the law. But the whole Comie McCabe apparatus, they might 291 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: be guilty of ethics violations. I think they certainly are 292 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: guilty of ethics violations in their duties at the FBI, 293 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: but official misconduct maybe you could get them for that, 294 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: for not unless you get some real clear evidence of 295 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, violating the Hatch Act. I mean, 296 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: you're starting to stretch here, right, So let's I want 297 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: to keep our expectations in line with what is possible, 298 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: with what is likely to be, which is what is 299 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: likely to happen, and not just what sounds good or 300 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: makes us feel good. And then on the spying portion 301 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: of this, laws that may have been broken. Again, I'm 302 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: speaking generally here, and I can't I don't know if 303 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: if Newt was referring to specific law breaking or what 304 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: specific law breaking is referring to. But here's what needs 305 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: to be kept in mind. If the FBI used information 306 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: for a FISA warrant that was real, they did not lie, 307 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: they did not falsify, but they decided to use open 308 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: source or non classified information in the case of Fusion 309 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: GPS to get a warrant and went through the appropriate processes. 310 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: That's an abuse of power. But and as you know, 311 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: I've talked to former Prosecutor Andy McCarthy, who we all 312 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: know in respect here on the show, and he agrees 313 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: with me on this, that's an abuse of power, but 314 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: that's not No one's going to prison for that, So 315 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: we shouldn't set our expectations beyond what is likely here. 316 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: Prison for leaking, Yes, that's a crime, but who did 317 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: the leaking, We don't know, we have some guesses. Also, generally, 318 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: very hard to prove a leak, unless somebody's like, hey, 319 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: here's any I'm sending an email with, like, here's that 320 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: classified thing that I'm not supposed to tell you what. 321 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: Some people do do that, But generally, if it's a 322 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: leak to a reporter and it comes from inside the government, 323 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: because usually information is widely disseminated enough that you can't 324 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: really narrow it down and anyway, So I just would 325 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: note that right now there's a lot of attention, a 326 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: lot of fervor around the issue of the memo and 327 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: the release of the memo, very very unlikely that anyone 328 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: is going to prison unless I am missing a statute. 329 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: And if any of you out there are lawyers and 330 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: you think I'm I'm missing it, let me know any 331 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: of your prosecutors. Although prosecutors tend to be KG about 332 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: calling into political talk shows unless they're former prosecutors. Uh, 333 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't see criminal charges coming 334 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: from this. This is a massive political scandal, and I 335 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: think the only remedy will be for we the people 336 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: to take a political action in response to it, and 337 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: also to fire a bunch of bumps that needs to 338 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: happen to it. But and that's already started to happen. 339 00:19:47,880 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: We got more to stay with me. He's holding the 340 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: line for America. Buck Sexton is back, but spoken to 341 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: a number of sources who have said that McCabe had 342 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: actually asked members of the FBI um an FBI official 343 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: actually to alter the three O two whether the three 344 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,479 Speaker 1: O two's, those are the witness interviews that the FBI 345 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: conducts with the witnesses. There was one person in particular 346 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: that they believe McCabe had asked the FBI agents to 347 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: alter the three O two s. And I think this 348 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: is significant. It doesn't mean that they altered the three 349 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: O twos, but even the fact that if they were 350 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: asked allegedly, if this actually happened, that is a huge violation, 351 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: huge violation. And another very important question here is when 352 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: the warrant was issued, who kept reauthorizing the warrant over 353 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: and over again, as her friend Sarah Carter, she's a 354 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: Fox News contributors here on Shawn Show a lot at 355 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: nine pm, and she's pointing out that if they did 356 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: change if if people in the fb I changed official records, 357 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: if that was going on, then you are getting into 358 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: criminal territory. Can't do that. That's not something that's on 359 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: the list of Oh, yeah, sure you can. You can 360 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: do this, and then you'll be uh, you'll just be fired. No, no, no. 361 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: You cannot change witness statements, you cannot tamper with evidence. 362 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: So we'll have to see that may be a part 363 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: of this too. I can't imagine there are any huge 364 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: surprises in this memo because if there were, I have 365 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: a sense that they would have leaked. That's why I 366 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: think the fusion GPS component is the one thing that 367 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: is likely to be confirmed in it. But speaking of 368 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: criminal sentencing and situations, the Mueller team, it's just hit 369 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: the hit the wires today. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team 370 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: is postponing the sentencing of former National Security advisor and 371 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: and general or decades Mike Flynn. They say they're doing 372 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: this because of the status of the investigation, and that's 373 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: got people asking questions about what this means for Russia, right, 374 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: the Russia prope Russia. Ah, here's what I think about this. 375 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: I believe that Flynn should be pardoned. I'm sorry, I'm oh, 376 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm not sorry actually because I'm saying I 377 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: think you should be pardoned. But this is not a 378 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: this is not justice. It is not justice for General 379 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: Flynn to be facing any kind of confinement. I get 380 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: a sense here that his deal probably I don't know, 381 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: but he's cooperated and they're extending him here there. They 382 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: want to get more cooperation from him. But I think 383 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: Flynn knows that he can cooperate without any damage to 384 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: his honor or anything, because there's when it comes to 385 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: Russia collusion, it's nothing for him to cooperate on. There's 386 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: nothing here. So sure he'll answer whatever questions they've got. 387 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: He'll he'll be as helpful as he possibly can. And 388 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: that to me, this this signals and I'm reading in 389 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: between the lines here, but to me, extending out the 390 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: sentencing of Flynn meaning waiting before you see what the 391 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: Flynn sentence is is just Mueller buy more time to 392 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: have Flynn at least the prospect of Flynn in the 393 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: background to sweat somebody, so to speak, here, to help 394 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: put the pressure on someone. So that is a reason 395 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: that you would see the Flynn sentencing extended a bit longer. 396 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: But I mean, come on, you lied about a non 397 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: crime the FBI, what's the real damage here? Maybe they're 398 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: gonna say no, this is what might come up. The 399 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: only way I think you see Flynn not getting pardoned 400 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: by the president is if there's no jail time, still 401 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: would have a felony on his record, so means he 402 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: can't uh well, I guess it depends on the state right, 403 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: But can't vote, can't on a firearm, all kinds of 404 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: problems that come with felony, colony record. But we'll see 405 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: if Trump is willing to pardon him. I mean, you 406 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 1: can imagine for me, it's the right thing to do. 407 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: It also would have the little added wonderful bonus of 408 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: making liberals completely lose their minds. I mean, it would 409 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: be think about it, twenty four hours. Oh my gosh, 410 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: the constitution has been lit on fire. But this is 411 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: the president's constitutional prerogative. He has. He absolutely has the 412 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: There is no person who can say that the President 413 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: does not have the authority to pardon Michael Flynn. He 414 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: absolutely positively does. But they're still gonna say, oh my gosh, 415 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: the rule of laws. But it doesn't matter. They don't 416 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: even care. They just hate Trump. This is all nonsense. 417 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the arguments they've been making against the memo 418 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: release have just been laughable. I'm seeing people get all 419 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: all sanctimonious, but all sources am not. Though some people's 420 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: lives will be in dangerous, this is not. I I 421 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: assure you, there's nothing that's gonna come out of this 422 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: new Nois memo that you're gonna be like, oh wow, 423 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm not that guy. You don't want to Well, 424 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: maybe in terms of FBI people's careers, but not like 425 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: a safety issue. So the arguments have been made, I 426 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: think they've been made in bad faith, but they still 427 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: they still got Flynn on the hook. Here. See if 428 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: they can extend this out a little bit. I wonder, 429 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 1: what do we get a sense here of what his? 430 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: What I'm trying to see what his? Yeah, here we go. 431 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: They don't want to tell the judge it on Fox 432 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: News this to sentence Flynn until they can tell the 433 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: judge that he helped in the case and Flynn, if 434 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: Flim were ever asked test find a trial, he would 435 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: be a better witness if still facing the prospect of sentencing. 436 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: So they're just holding us over him. And this is 437 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: why I really have always resented this notion that there's 438 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: no cost really to this investigation that you know, we 439 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: were just trying to get at the truth here. People's 440 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: lives are being ruined. You know, we sit here, folks, 441 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: how many times we have to go through this? Now, 442 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: we got this with the Trump administration. The same thing 443 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: happened with the whole uh plaime leak fiasco. They knew, 444 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: they knew who the leaker was. The leaker, it was 445 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: an accident and he did not intend to leak anything 446 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: on purpose, and they agreed with that, and it was 447 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: just that, look, and that does happen. I've said before, 448 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: classified accidentally does slip out. Sometimes that does happen. I'm 449 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: not saying it's okay, but it happens. And that's taken 450 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: into account when someone's going to be punished for it. 451 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't happen a hundred times on an unsecured server, 452 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: and you know, over and over and over again, and 453 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: nobody knows what Hillary style, but it does happen. But 454 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: that was all just to get Cheney. Here we are 455 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: again that we had one Republican administrator, the last Republican administration, 456 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: they managed to create this false story to get a 457 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: special counsel going, and they almost they almost took down 458 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: the Vice president with it. That was what they're trying 459 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: to do. And now we've got another one. You'll notice 460 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: no special counsel during the Obama years, despite all the 461 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: stuff that we could have looked into more there, Man, 462 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: I would have liked the special council just on fast 463 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: and furious. No one even really talks about it anymore. Yeah, 464 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: you know, let's just let's just start a federal government 465 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: program where we where we tell gun dealers to sell 466 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: guns illegally two people that we know we're going to 467 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,719 Speaker 1: then make their way down to the cartels. Oh that's right, 468 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: who killed thirty thousand people last year? No special counsel 469 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: for that, right, people are dying a border patrol agent dive, 470 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: but no no special counsel there? Why, Oh, that's right, 471 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: because Eric Holder was running the Justice Department. I brought 472 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: this up today when they're asking about how oh Trump passed. 473 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: Did Trump asked if if McCabe was on his team 474 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: or is her on his team? Eric Older publicly proclaimed 475 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: that he was president this is he was President Obama's wingman, 476 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: and then you'll be working very closely together. You know, 477 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: they can't have it both ways. Is the Department of 478 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: Justice a a subservience political organism too? The executive branch 479 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: or is it its own branch of government? They can't 480 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: keep shifting the storyline. I mean they do, but it's 481 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: not fair, it's not right. It is dishonest for them 482 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: to keep shifting the storyline. And that's what we've seen 483 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: going on here. Find it very, uh, very disconcerting that 484 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: this is in fact where we are with it. And man, 485 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: I just want them to I just want them to 486 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: give us this this frigging memo. You know, I've had enough. 487 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: I've had I don't if I have to see one 488 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: more headline on SENNA, one more thing from Adam Schiff. 489 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: You know, are so bad that guy. This is what 490 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: the Democrats put up there for us too to fight against. 491 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: It makes it makes the job of getting annoyed with 492 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: their lies a little bit easier because these are not 493 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: some of these democrats that are making the case, and 494 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: these are not likable peoples, are not compelling personalities, that's 495 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: for sure. Ron in Alaska, you got thoughts, I got time. 496 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: What's up? Hey? How are you doing? Buck Shield? Tie? 497 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: She'll tiey, buddy. I'm good. Listen. I believe this goes 498 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 1: back to my high school days, but in in history. 499 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: But I told my teacher back then that there has 500 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: been a government within our government since the JFK assassination 501 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: and it hasn't changed since in all these years. And 502 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: it's my belief that the president should go and get 503 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: either a point or a special prosc and purge all 504 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: these FBI, d O J possibly looking in S A, 505 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: passibly looking at C I A, and and get rid 506 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: of the people at the top levels that uh where 507 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: the corruption lies. Because this a lot of these are 508 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: Obama holdovers and and he really should have had em 509 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: purged when he took over, but I guess it couldn't happen. 510 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: I don't know why. But but at any rate, h 511 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: the corruption and the lies that are going on in 512 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: Washington right now, the American voters better wake up, and 513 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: I'm telling them they'd better wake up, because if we 514 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: continue the way we're going, we're gonna lose this country. Uh. 515 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: We we have people that that are not they're so 516 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: corrupt that that that they have no allegiance to the 517 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: country anymore, and and they're willing to do anything that 518 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: they want to obtain their goals. Well, it's definitely true. 519 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: There are people with a lot of power in our 520 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: government ron who are gonna We're gonna do what they 521 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: can do. They'll they'll do what they can to hurt 522 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: the country if it means that they get to inflict 523 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: their political wishes on us in some way.

Is that what's going on? 539 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: I feel like he is do we all do we 540 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: all think that we can move past? Oh Comey, he's 541 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: he's not a partisan player. He's not trust me, he's been. 542 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: He just does what's best for Comey all the time. 543 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: I remember, rich lawyer. Stop thinking of it as an 544 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: FBI Guy's not an FBI guy. He's a rich lawyer. 545 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,479 Speaker 1: All right. That changes things very very quickly, I believe. 546 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: Justin in Winston Salem, North Carolina, what's up? Justin? Hey? 547 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: How's it going? But I'm good. Yeah, I just wanted 548 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: to make a comment regarding your last caller there from Alaska. UM, 549 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm probably as far away from him as uh as 550 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: he is from me. I'm from Wednesday of North Carolina. 551 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: I'm twenty nine years old, and uh, well, I just 552 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: wanted to let him know that the American people have 553 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: woken up. We woke up last year when we voted 554 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump end office. Uh we need to change, and uh, 555 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:02,479 Speaker 1: well he's the first start. Problem is we can, you know, 556 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: go about this process of special prosecutors and all that, 557 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: but nothing ever happens to the Democrats, you know, And 558 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: I think it's a big problem. So I mean, what 559 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: do we have to do to really prosecute the Democrats? 560 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll be all these high ranking officials and 561 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: all that, and they seem to just scathe off and 562 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: you know, skip sentences and uh, really get away with all, 563 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, justin I don't think I'm being I don't 564 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: think I'm being uh, you know, what's the word. I'm trying. 565 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: I don't think I have tunnel vision here when I 566 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: say that, I don't ever see Republicans playing the game 567 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: quite the same way that Democrats do with this stuff. 568 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: I've Saturday before and told you about all the different, 569 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: very clearly politically motivated prosecutions of top level Republicans across 570 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: the country. I've gone on the list, right, Rick Perry, Um, 571 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: Chris See, Scott Walker McDonald, former governor of Virginia. I mean, 572 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: these are all political prosecutions, and they all went nowhere, 573 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 1: by the way, except for McDonald. The Supreme Court had 574 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: to reverse that because it was such a stretch to 575 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 1: get him on corruption. And you see the other side 576 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: of it here, like it just doesn't they don't. The 577 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: game isn't played the same way. And I don't really 578 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: have an answer for that other than start to say 579 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: that I just think that democrats power is the power 580 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: is the reason for the existence of the Democrat Party. 581 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: It's not it's not a sense of shared principle. It's 582 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: larger state and the emotional trajectory of the people that 583 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: call themselves Democrats at any point in time. But I 584 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: don't have a clear answer for other than I see 585 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: it too, man, I cannot Why do we not have 586 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: a special counsel under Obama? Never even discussed, really, right, 587 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: it just never happened. We had a special counsel under Bush, 588 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 1: we have a special counsel under Trump. And people say, well, 589 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: we have a special counselor to Clinton because we need 590 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: needed one, or we at least need an investigation. I mean, 591 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: the guy was doing all kinds of flagrantly illegal and 592 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: improper stuff, so and not like, oh, maybe we'll find something. 593 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: We keep investigating. We know what he did, Andy Loddon 594 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: and growth then he got away with it. So I mean, 595 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: and that's our political history for the last twenty plus years. Right, 596 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 1: So this is scary stuff. But justin you're right, we 597 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 1: woke up. We uh, we defeated the Hillary machine and 598 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: against all odds and as it seems now against Stephen 599 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: the wishes of some of the deep state of the 600 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: d o J. Thanks for calling your brother. Good to 601 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: talk to you from North Carolina. I appreciate it. Uh, 602 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: let's talk Larry in Johnsville, Ohio? Was it Larry? All right? Buck? 603 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: Enjoy your show, enjoy your calls. Larry. What's going on? 604 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: I got a couple comments about the state of the 605 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: Union address. I think you're either be a thorough investigation 606 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: by the c I, a FBI, a BC. Whoever whoever 607 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: scorted super glue on all of them democratic seats had 608 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: to be prosecuted. It is mean to spread all that 609 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: super glow. And it's not environmentally friendly either, that's true. 610 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: And one another observation, Uh, somebody I had to send 611 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: Nancy Pulski some more polly grip because I think she 612 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: was having trouble with her dangers. Either that or depends 613 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: was righting up winter. She did not look happy. I 614 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: will agree that she did not look happy at that 615 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: state of the Union. Larry and Larry, yes, sir, and 616 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: that new Supreme Court just was that him or a 617 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: statue of course which I don't know. Did he not 618 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: stand up or something? He nothing? I didn't see that, 619 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: but okay, I'll write him a strongly worded Larry. Thanks 620 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: for calling it from Ohio, my friend Shields. It was 621 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: like Larry adds a special flavor to the show. I appreciate. 622 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:11,359 Speaker 1: Here from Barry down in Biloxi, Mississippi. What's up, Barry? Hey, 623 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: what how are you doing? I'm good man, thank you 624 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: for your call. I'm wondering. I'm wondering why have we 625 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: not hurt anything at all about Hatch Act violations. I mean, 626 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: I thought federal employees couldn't even wear a campaign button 627 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: or have a poster, and here these people are spending 628 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 1: their whole time on the job uh favor in their 629 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 1: political candidate and and trying to wipe out the other guy. 630 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: Does that still exists? Yeah, I mean the Hatch Act. 631 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: I don't think the Hatch Act is. I think you 632 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: just get fired for it. So the Hatch Act is 633 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: not a criminal statute. I think the penalty is just firing, 634 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: and so it's it's rarely enforced. Yes, you're right, you 635 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: can't wear You know, when I was in the CIA, 636 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: I couldn't show up at a campaign event say hey, 637 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm buck, I'm from the CIA, and the CIA supports 638 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: this guy, right, which you know may may not have 639 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: been a good thing for that candidate. Um, but that 640 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: you know, I could have gotten fired for that under 641 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: the Hatch Act. But it's not a criminal thing. So 642 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 1: that's why it doesn't have quite the same impact. And 643 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: also I'll just say it, and I can't tell you 644 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,759 Speaker 1: very more than just my own impression. I only ever 645 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: heard Hatch Act complaints from Democrats about Republicans when I 646 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 1: was in government, never the other way. So we're just 647 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: less snowflake like I guess when it comes to that stuff. 648 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,759 Speaker 1: But thanks very for calling team our two coming up. 649 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 1: He's back with you now, because when it comes to 650 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Africa and 651 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: Hispanic unemployment have both reached the lowest levels ever recorded. 652 00:38:55,120 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: That's something very very special. And when I made that 653 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: statement the other night, there was zero movement from the Democrats. 654 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: They sat there stone called, no smile, no applause. You 655 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: would have thought that on that one they would have 656 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 1: sort of at least clapped a little bit, which tells 657 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 1: you perhaps they'd rather see us not do well than 658 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: see our country do great. And that's not good. There's 659 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: one more, very important promise we're keeping. No longer are 660 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: we making apologies for America. We don't apologize anymore. We're 661 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 1: proud of our history, we're confident in our values, and 662 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: we're grateful to our heroes, and we are determined to 663 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: create a brighter future for all of our people. Welcome 664 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: back to the buck Sex and show everybody our too 665 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 1: is up and running here. That was President Trump earlier 666 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: today in West Virginia. And some times I pose the 667 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: question as a means of getting into some analysis here 668 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: in the show, why do they hate Trump so much? 669 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: And you know that answer he or that that excerpt 670 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 1: we just played for you where you talked about how 671 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: no more apologizing for America and a different view of 672 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: America's role in the world, that's one of the reasons 673 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: why they hate him so much, and that hatred burns 674 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: so brightly in the minds of leftists and Democrats that they, 675 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 1: in fact do, I think, want to see the country 676 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 1: suffer rather than see it prosper under Trump. I don't 677 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: think that's an overstatement. I don't think it's an unfair 678 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: point for the president to make. I think it's actually 679 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: quite clear that that is what we are dealing with. 680 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: The economy is very strong. The comments that have been 681 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 1: made by many Democrats in response to the tax reform, 682 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: I think that that might come back to haunt them, 683 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: even as far down aline as the mid terms. I 684 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: really do, and Trump certainly thinks so. With these corporations 685 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: giving tremendous bonuses to everybody, that Nancy Pelosi called crumbs, 686 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: that was a bad that could be like deplorable. That 687 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: does that make sense? Deplorable and crumbs, those two words 688 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 1: they seem to have a resemblance. I hope it has 689 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,959 Speaker 1: the same meaning. But she called it crumbs. When people 690 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 1: are getting two thousand and three thousand dollars and one 691 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, that's not crumbs. It's a lot of money. Now, 692 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,919 Speaker 1: most of the Democrats, and even including Pelosi, aren't so 693 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: so dumb that they can't understand why it's bad politics 694 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 1: to say that a few thousand dollars for a family 695 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 1: in this country, that's you know, earning somewhere in the 696 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: in the median income of fifty thou dollars a year. 697 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: Let's say, Uh, most people can understand why that's bad politics. 698 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: But what you see exposed again in again with the Democrats, 699 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: and this is the Democrat party of today. And Trump 700 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: understands this, which is why I think he's got so 701 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: much confidence. Although Trump certainly never lacks in confidence, but 702 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: confidence in the GOP's fortunes going into the mid terms 703 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: because otherwise you look at the historical the the historical 704 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,919 Speaker 1: record for midterm elections the party in power, I think 705 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: they've only been three times stretching back to the Civil War, 706 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 1: that the party that was in power did not lose 707 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: seats in a mid term in the midterm election. Right, 708 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:40,840 Speaker 1: it was George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, and I'm forgetting 709 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: what the third one was. Sorry, but pretty good that 710 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: I pulled that out of thin air though, Right, Steve, 711 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: come on, I mean, give the guys some credit. So 712 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: it's generally speaking unlikely that you will have gains for 713 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: Republicans the mid terms, and it's a question will they lose, 714 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: you know, three seats or twenty seats um But I 715 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,480 Speaker 1: think Trump is feeling pretty confident about it because the 716 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 1: economy is strong, and because the Democrats keep exposing themselves 717 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,319 Speaker 1: for all of us who care to pay attention to it, 718 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: for all of us who I want to know what's 719 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: really going on, exposing themselves as having a disdain for 720 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: just normal people. You can say, for the folks. Democrats 721 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:24,800 Speaker 1: just doesn't doesn't really lock in with their preferred narrative 722 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: about what's going on in the country. They just don't 723 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 1: have a place for people who are not in a 724 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,719 Speaker 1: protected category, are not a an oppressed group or a 725 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,320 Speaker 1: victimized group. I mean, if you're just somebody who wants 726 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,400 Speaker 1: to live your life, do your thing, and not have 727 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 1: the government as a barrier to your own pursuit of 728 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: happiness and success, whatever that may be, the Democrat Party 729 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 1: doesn't really have a place for you. You know, hard 730 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,800 Speaker 1: work is not something that you can really talk about 731 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: when your first concern, as it is for the Democrats, 732 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 1: is where you fit into the patriarchy, where you fit 733 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: into the various layers of oppression, you know, the we 734 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: haven't talked about intersectionality in a while, but intersectionality is 735 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: not just a fancy campus college campus term that Democrats 736 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: throw around to sound like they know what they're talking about. 737 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 1: It also has infected the beliefs and the policies of 738 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, which is that everything has to be 739 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:32,800 Speaker 1: broken down into these groups. These are balkanized smaller versions 740 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: of the electorate, and then you have to pander to them, 741 00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 1: and you have to turn them against each other and 742 00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: use them against the the opposition, which is the Republican 743 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,239 Speaker 1: Party of course, which is now because of Trump and 744 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: the messaging from it, a party once again of just 745 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,280 Speaker 1: working folks just don't really need to be constantly lectured 746 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:57,879 Speaker 1: about there there inadequacies when it comes to progressive ideology 747 00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 1: that they just ideology. They just want to be able 748 00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: to of support their families, be left on their own 749 00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 1: and do their thing, and that's a good thing. But 750 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 1: on immigration, I will continue to hit this subject because 751 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: I think that, well, we know it's a very important 752 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: policy matter. This is where we're really going to see 753 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: what the what the Trumpsters made of when it comes 754 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 1: to negotiating and acting as a dealmaker while he's the president. 755 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 1: This is not gonna be easy. He's gonna have to 756 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 1: thread the needle here quite a bit. But on immigration, 757 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: some of you actually brought it up here earlier on 758 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,680 Speaker 1: the show that maybe this initial offer of one point 759 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: eight million dreamers, who would I know doc our recipients. 760 00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 1: I said, you know the problem with dreamers, It is 761 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 1: a it is a use useful shorthand, right, so DOCCA 762 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: is not really quite as a specific a way to 763 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:59,200 Speaker 1: refer to them. Anyway, Trump maybe is doing this just 764 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 1: a show. The Democrats are entirely un serious about immigration 765 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: and cannot allow Trump a win on this, even if 766 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 1: it means that Trump would be giving away more than 767 00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,320 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people in his base would 768 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 1: be willing or would be happy with him giving away. 769 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 1: And here is what what Trump said about it earlier today. 770 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: If the Democrats choose to philibuster a framework that includes 771 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: a generous path to citizenship or something that is not fair, 772 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 1: we are not going to improve it. We're just not 773 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: going to improve it. So we'll either have something that's 774 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 1: fair and equitable and good and secure we're gonna have 775 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 1: nothing at all. We will be demonstrating that we are 776 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: very very serious. One of the reasons I gave a 777 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: number that was I thought a very generous number was 778 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,319 Speaker 1: because I wanted to see whether or not they were 779 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,280 Speaker 1: interested in approving that. Because if they don't approve something 780 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 1: within that sphere that means very simply that then that 781 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: can to approve it at all. They want to use 782 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: it for an election issue, but it's now an election 783 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,720 Speaker 1: issue that will go to our benefit, not their benefit. See. 784 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:15,280 Speaker 1: I think the conventional wisdom going into this immigration negotiation 785 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: would have been something like the following. Trump needs the 786 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: support of his base going into it. He wants to 787 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: get the best deal he can, and the best deal 788 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,439 Speaker 1: means the one that secures the border and and does 789 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,160 Speaker 1: the most for interior enforcement and for workplace enforcement with 790 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: the immigration system. And so there's no reason for him 791 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: to make an initial offer that would include any kind 792 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 1: of amnesty because he wants to see what we'll see 793 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 1: what kind of deal he can get first. Instead, Trump 794 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: just goes, all right, let's just let's just show our 795 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: cards right away. This is what I'm willing to do. 796 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,879 Speaker 1: What are you willing to do? And it has made 797 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,319 Speaker 1: it to the Democrats don't really have a lot of 798 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,840 Speaker 1: room to run. What are they gonna say, No, it 799 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: has to be an amnesty for everyone, or no, we 800 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 1: won't take it. We won't take an amnesty for one 801 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:06,359 Speaker 1: point eight million unless it doesn't come with a wall 802 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: on any of these other border security provisions that Trump 803 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 1: has insisting on. I think that's tough. I think that's 804 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 1: a really tough sell for them if they forced a shutdown. 805 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: I think that the government's was to run in the 806 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 1: money February eighth, maybe something like that, and something like that, John, 807 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong with me now, I think it's something 808 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 1: like early February. The governments could rite out of money 809 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:31,799 Speaker 1: and Democrats got shellacked in the last shutdown, right, They 810 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,759 Speaker 1: got wasted and they had to turn that around. It 811 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,000 Speaker 1: wasn't a shutdown was it was actually a weekend, which 812 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: I know people say the government shutdown every weekend on 813 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: holidays anyway, But it wasn't even really a shutdown. I mean, 814 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,279 Speaker 1: the government was by the time we were telling the 815 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: stories on air, I was like, whoops, that's over with. 816 00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:50,840 Speaker 1: Democrats had to pull out of that. They had to 817 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 1: back off because they knew that public opinion wasn't with them. 818 00:48:54,840 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: You're gonna stop providing services to citizens taxpayers because of 819 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 1: a population of illegals. Really, that's a tough one for 820 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 1: the mid terms. Uh. They really just want to keep 821 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,879 Speaker 1: the issue alive as long as they can, I think, 822 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,080 Speaker 1: because it means that they'll just run with the storyline 823 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 1: of a racist, heartless, unfeeling GOP. But if Trump makes 824 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,400 Speaker 1: them an offer that allows a couple of million to 825 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: get amnesty and they turned that down, who are the unfeeling, 826 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 1: un serious legislators? You know which party is just playing 827 00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,080 Speaker 1: games with this? I think it becomes quite clear. So 828 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 1: while I was concerned at first about the direction Trump 829 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: was going in on immigration specifically, now I can see 830 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: some of the wisdom in this. I still would have 831 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 1: a problem with amnesty for almost two million people, because 832 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 1: it's never the number is never the number. And everyone 833 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,720 Speaker 1: I know who is really gone deep on this issue 834 00:49:56,080 --> 00:50:00,800 Speaker 1: is aware of this and agrees with me. But Trump 835 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 1: may not have to do any there might have to 836 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 1: be any amnesty, and in the meantime, any government shutdown 837 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,840 Speaker 1: that happens because of it would look entirely hollow. It 838 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 1: would just be the most obvious grandstanding you could possibly 839 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 1: see from folks like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and whomever, 840 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 1: because they'll they'll walked away from If you think about 841 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 1: how you sell that one. They walked away from amnesty 842 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: for two million people, and now they can pretend they 843 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: care so much about this two million people. If they 844 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,440 Speaker 1: walk away from amnesty for the for Dhaka as proposed 845 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 1: by Trump at this opening of negotiations, because they don't 846 00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 1: want a wall, then I think it's also just clear 847 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 1: to anyone who is going to be even a little 848 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: bit honest, Democrats are just pro illegal immigration. They're not 849 00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 1: trying to deal with legal immigration. They actually want more 850 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 1: illegal immigration, which I think is already true, but it 851 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 1: will be more apparent, it will be more demonstrable. We 852 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: can show people that that's in fact the case. So 853 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,800 Speaker 1: we will see how this how this dispute is resolved 854 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: or not over what to do about Dhaka, and and 855 00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: how we will go go forward on the immigration because 856 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,440 Speaker 1: this has got to be a centerpiece for Trump right now. 857 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: I mean, if he loses the House, you know all 858 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 1: this talk we have right now about we're gonna be 859 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 1: so frustrated. Oh yeah, we needed sixty votes in the 860 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: Senate to basically get anything done. This is This is 861 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,560 Speaker 1: the Senate's constructs that they can all just worry about 862 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,560 Speaker 1: fundraising and getting reelected and not have to take any 863 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 1: tough votes. They like the sixty threshold, I think, make 864 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,759 Speaker 1: no mistake about it. In a house passes stuff all 865 00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 1: the time, we're like, oh, that would be great. Oh 866 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 1: it will never get through the Senate. Why we have 867 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:43,320 Speaker 1: a majority, Oh, because we need Democrat votes for that too. 868 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 1: What's the point of a majority if you need Democrat 869 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: votes to do anything. I'm just throwing lots of stuff 870 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,400 Speaker 1: out there today. But yeah, I think you should pardon 871 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,320 Speaker 1: General Flynn Trump, by the way, and I think that 872 00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell should just say, you know what, unless it's 873 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: constitutionally prescribed otherwise. And there are some things that are 874 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 1: constitutionally mandated, you know, removal from office for a president, 875 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 1: for example, two thirds. But this whole you've gotta be 876 00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 1: able to get sixty two. Beat a filibuster. No, no 877 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 1: more of this. This is gard this is garbage, This 878 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 1: is self imposed ineptitude, and we can't allow this to 879 00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 1: continue on the way that it is. I'm telling you, 880 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: if we lose the House and goes in the mid terms, 881 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 1: We're all be sitting around like, oh, you know what 882 00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,879 Speaker 1: Trump could have done, if only, if only, He's got 883 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: to do it now. That's why immigration has to be 884 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,880 Speaker 1: a place where he does it now. Time is not 885 00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 1: on the side of those who wish to uh secure 886 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,840 Speaker 1: the border and get something worthwhile from Trump's majority in 887 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:57,400 Speaker 1: the House and the Senate. Well, I was right, but 888 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,359 Speaker 1: I wasn't right about all of it, or I didn't 889 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,800 Speaker 1: get all of it. When I said that mid terms, 890 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 1: I told you correctly that everyone going back to Civil 891 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 1: War basically loses with with three exceptions. And yes, it 892 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,640 Speaker 1: is true that George Bush in his first mid term 893 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,760 Speaker 1: picked up seats. It is also true that Nixon in wait, 894 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 1: did I know, did I get the Nixon went wrong? Oh, 895 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,840 Speaker 1: he picked up two Senate seats. Okay, so it depends 896 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: on whether we're looking at the House or the Senate. 897 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,239 Speaker 1: But Nixon picked up two Senate seats, and but he 898 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,359 Speaker 1: lost House seats. But he picked up the House. I mean, 899 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:39,200 Speaker 1: he picked up the Senate Roosevelt picked up in thirty four. 900 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: And then also I see here Clinton picked up in 901 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,440 Speaker 1: his first he picked up five five House seats in 902 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,600 Speaker 1: his first midterm election. So or no, was that a 903 00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 1: second midten sorry, his second midterm election? Yeah, there you go. 904 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 1: So I was close. So I mean the ones I 905 00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,719 Speaker 1: said were correct, but I left one or two out. 906 00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:02,319 Speaker 1: But I mean, FDR, does that really count? I guess 907 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: it counts. Kenny in Saugus Sagas. How do we say 908 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: that in Boston? You would say it's Sagas. It's just 909 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,919 Speaker 1: north of Boston, so I usually say it's just north 910 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,840 Speaker 1: to Boston over the eight miles north. How is the 911 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:26,480 Speaker 1: chowder in Saugust It's very chowy. Yeah, it's very good. Yeah. 912 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,880 Speaker 1: So I want to I'm here to scour your wisdom, 913 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,399 Speaker 1: to pick your brain. I want to know one thing. 914 00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:35,719 Speaker 1: They're discrediting this memo. Obviously, this is the campaign that's 915 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:41,240 Speaker 1: been lodged here. Um. I heard something about the FBI 916 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 1: had broken a meeting to discuss the memo and at 917 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,439 Speaker 1: the White House and to uh decide what they wanted 918 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,239 Speaker 1: to leave in, what they could release and they will 919 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 1: make an alterations. And at the same time, simultaneously Adam 920 00:54:55,560 --> 00:55:00,400 Speaker 1: Schiff then Maline Noonez I'm saying he's making changes to it. 921 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 1: And so I'm thinking that that's connected, that there's there's 922 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 1: probably they probably did that just to support that. And 923 00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 1: then there's another thing Washington Post. I read a story 924 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: online that says, how come Trump is in a hurry 925 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,320 Speaker 1: to release this memo? Isn't this crazy? Couldn't he released 926 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,319 Speaker 1: it months ago? Look? There, there's Okay, So you're bringing 927 00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: up a lot of good points, and so let me 928 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,800 Speaker 1: make sure that I addressed them each in turn. About 929 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,600 Speaker 1: the edits, I saw that last night. I think Adam Schiff, 930 00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 1: my favorite used sham wile salesman. I think he uh 931 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 1: he tweeted something about how their edits made, and now 932 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,640 Speaker 1: we find out the edits were minor and structural. It 933 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 1: also doesn't really matter, right because they're contesting parts of 934 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,480 Speaker 1: the memo anyway, So to say that some of it 935 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 1: was edited, what does that even? Who? Who even really 936 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,720 Speaker 1: care at that point because they're gonna be contesting everything 937 00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 1: that it says, and they're gonna declassify it's going to 938 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,879 Speaker 1: be public information. So it just struck me as very 939 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 1: petty and very desperate. And I think that's where much 940 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 1: of the resistance to releasing the memo has gone. They've 941 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 1: become kind of petty and desperate. So no, well, what 942 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 1: do we really Let's be realistic, right, Kenny, What do 943 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,160 Speaker 1: we think could possibly have been changed in there that 944 00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: would be worth risking the veracity of the rest of 945 00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,120 Speaker 1: the memo that they insert at the last moment. It 946 00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,360 Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense, right. One of the reasons you 947 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,799 Speaker 1: know that certain conspiracies aren't real is because it's not 948 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,600 Speaker 1: even good for the conspirator. Doesn't make any sense. So 949 00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 1: you and then you brought up a few other things. 950 00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 1: What else did you want me to hit on? Uh? 951 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 1: That was the Well, it was something with the FBI 952 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 1: meeting with them off and uh. Oh. Also they said 953 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,880 Speaker 1: that Trump, they said that Trump was in a hurry 954 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,360 Speaker 1: to release this memo. But from what I'm understanding is 955 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 1: he could have actually uh ordered its release yea months ago. Yeah, 956 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 1: he like he's the president. He could have said he 957 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: could have ordered the executive branch to de classifies. Like, 958 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:55,759 Speaker 1: no one's gonna tell the commander in chief. You can't 959 00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 1: tell the American people about whatever that It doesn't work 960 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,960 Speaker 1: that way, right. The commander in chief can really and 961 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 1: people would argue with me on this, but I've got 962 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,400 Speaker 1: plenty of president to back it up. The president can 963 00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 1: do what's called real time which is not a legal definition, 964 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,480 Speaker 1: but real time declassification, which is just the president can 965 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,720 Speaker 1: tell the American people about whatever he wants. Functionally speaking, 966 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,280 Speaker 1: that is how it works, and no one ever contests 967 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 1: that is not how it works. So the president can, Yeah, 968 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,800 Speaker 1: he can confer with other people and try to respect 969 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 1: the processes that are in place for classified but he 970 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: can be classified whatever he wants. And I would just 971 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 1: note Kenny that people now are complaining. I'm seeing some 972 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:35,520 Speaker 1: of the Democrat apparatus out there, journalists and talking heads 973 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,440 Speaker 1: and lawyer types that are saying, well, why do you 974 00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 1: go through the why do you go through the House process? 975 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,560 Speaker 1: If he just could do it himself, as though that's 976 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 1: now a bad thing, and we all know if Trump 977 00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 1: had just declassified it, they'd say that he's meddling and 978 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: he's causing problems, and you know he's so anyway, he 979 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,200 Speaker 1: can't win either way, Kenny, thanks to the call, the 980 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:54,240 Speaker 1: good question, my friend. Great to talk to you up 981 00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,439 Speaker 1: in Ugas. I like it, I learned, I learned lots 982 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 1: of new towns on this show. My America g are. 983 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 1: If he's getting better in the Freedom Hunt, he's back 984 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: with you now, because when it comes to the fight 985 00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 1: for truth, the fuck never stops. There's a new poll 986 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,640 Speaker 1: from Monbouth where the president's approval rating has ticked up 987 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 1: to This is out of the thirties where President Trump 988 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,040 Speaker 1: has wallowed, one might say, for most of the time 989 00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: since is inauguration a b y? Why do we think? 990 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,919 Speaker 1: I mean, they did pass tax reformed by a Christmas deadline, Okay, 991 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,959 Speaker 1: after a year of failing to repeal in a place 992 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,080 Speaker 1: Obamacare and fighting with each other. But I know that 993 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 1: the tax reform plan, at least in many polls, he 994 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: is viewed by a majority of Americans negatively. The polling 995 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:49,160 Speaker 1: on tax reform was really bad in December. It's actually rising, 996 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 1: becoming more popular, and either people are responding to their 997 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,960 Speaker 1: own personal data or they're responding to these stories of 998 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 1: corporations feeling a boost and sharing it with their workers, 999 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: and that is a positive for him. It's it's a 1000 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,439 Speaker 1: legislative success and the economics. All the polls are moving 1001 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,920 Speaker 1: in Donald Trump's direction have been for the last one month. 1002 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,240 Speaker 1: The president's favorable has moved up five since tax reform 1003 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:14,280 Speaker 1: was enacted in December, and his unfavorable has dropped three 1004 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 1: that's an eight point improvement in one month. Now he's 1005 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:18,960 Speaker 1: still upside down. He's got a long way to go. 1006 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 1: But make no mistake, the president's numbers are on the move. 1007 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 1: Equally important the right track wrong track, and these are 1008 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,800 Speaker 1: the real clear politics average. The right track, wrong track 1009 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 1: has improved thirteen points in selection day. On election Day 1010 00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 1: two thousand sixteen, the Americans felt overwhelmingly this nation's on 1011 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 1: the wrong track, and there's been a thirteen point improvement 1012 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: since Trump took over. You know what, another shorter way 1013 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 1: of talking about these polls would be just this is 1014 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 1: all about results. Wasn't it funny? That was a CNN 1015 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 1: clip initially that we played there and then we followed 1016 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 1: up with ari A. R. Fleischer over at Fox. But 1017 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: in that CNN exchange, you had a B. Stoddard, she 1018 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 1: used to be with the Hill where it whish who she? Yeah? 1019 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,080 Speaker 1: I forget she with the Hill still now? I don't 1020 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 1: wish She's moved on somewhere else, I think. But she's 1021 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,120 Speaker 1: talking to to Jim Shooto of CNN and they're going 1022 01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 1: back and fourth over like whoa. Okay. So so the 1023 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 1: there are two very interesting takeaways from that. One is 1024 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 1: that people looked at tax reform negatively, and I know 1025 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 1: at CNN that's like a cause of celebration, right, Oh 1026 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:29,480 Speaker 1: my gosh, it's great hit tax reform. But let's understand 1027 01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 1: what that means. It just means that the propaganda apparatus 1028 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,160 Speaker 1: of the media is still so powerful that it is 1029 01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 1: able to convince a majority of the American people that 1030 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:49,160 Speaker 1: the government letting some Americans keep some percentage more of 1031 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,160 Speaker 1: the money that they are earning is a bad thing. 1032 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:57,240 Speaker 1: That's amazing, isn't it. How how is that possible? You 1033 01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,320 Speaker 1: might wonder to yourself, how would it be possible that 1034 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 1: they would be able to convince some of that? And 1035 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,480 Speaker 1: they're clearly annoyed at that is fading, that that concept 1036 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,240 Speaker 1: of more money in the pockets of private citizens is 1037 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:13,880 Speaker 1: bad somehow. But then also the well why is it 1038 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,840 Speaker 1: rising since tax reform was enacted? Well, gee, I've got 1039 01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:21,520 Speaker 1: some ideas. Let's think about this, folks. Well, we got 1040 01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 1: a couple of political analysts on there before. Why would 1041 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 1: tax reform after it happens become more popular? Do do do? 1042 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 1: Do? Do Do? Do? Right? I feel like I probably couldn't 1043 01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 1: actually play in the Jeopardy theme. It would be some 1044 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 1: kind of a rights thing. But I just sang it 1045 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,760 Speaker 1: for you because I that's how much I care now. 1046 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 1: But the reason is quite obviously that it's gonna happen, 1047 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 1: and now people are seeing it, and I've got I 1048 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,960 Speaker 1: have friends, I have friends, I know people personally who 1049 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 1: were saying, all of a sudden, I've got a little 1050 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 1: more money in my in my bank account. Each paycheck 1051 01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,880 Speaker 1: is a little bit bigger, and it helps. It helps. 1052 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 1: It also creates a sense that we are moving forward 1053 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 1: here right. It creates a sense that things can get 1054 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,600 Speaker 1: even better. And you know, I've seen now economists are 1055 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:17,120 Speaker 1: now economists make weather men look infallible. But nonetheless, I've 1056 01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:21,960 Speaker 1: seen some predictions, some prognostications for the future where economists 1057 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,240 Speaker 1: are saying that they think unemployment could be at three 1058 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:29,080 Speaker 1: point five percent next year. So whether that happens or not, 1059 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,080 Speaker 1: we will have to see. But that's certainly really low. 1060 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,000 Speaker 1: But this is the big problem that Democrats are gonna have. 1061 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:38,880 Speaker 1: They're they're not used to having to contend with an 1062 01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 1: objective reality of a Republican president who is making real 1063 01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,000 Speaker 1: gains in the economy for the very people that he's 1064 01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:52,280 Speaker 1: been saying he would do it for right that this 1065 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 1: is going to be a tough hill for them to 1066 01:02:56,680 --> 01:03:00,000 Speaker 1: overcome when you look at the benefits of the Trump 1067 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,560 Speaker 1: administration and how it's rolling out for people right now, 1068 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 1: I think that the Democrats aren't going to have much 1069 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:06,920 Speaker 1: of a line. And that's when you get into just well, 1070 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,320 Speaker 1: they they got to come up with something they hate Trump, right, 1071 01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,440 Speaker 1: and so you know, maybe they can take a page 1072 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,720 Speaker 1: from the Maxi and Waters playbook here and just come 1073 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 1: up with some other stuff about Russia. They absolutely hated 1074 01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:42,280 Speaker 1: demotics television, absolutely interfering with SPA. What now we're talking 1075 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: about r T those who are one and that that's 1076 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 1: Maxi Waters, so sitting member of Congress. There's one about 1077 01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:52,200 Speaker 1: urt uh. That's the Russia Today channel that's been around 1078 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 1: for over ten years and is a an open Kremlin front, 1079 01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,720 Speaker 1: right it is. It is Kremlin propaganda. People who have 1080 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,480 Speaker 1: worked there have come out and talked about it. It 1081 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 1: is funded as a Kremlin front. There is really no 1082 01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:09,000 Speaker 1: question about this. And yet you'll still have people with 1083 01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 1: so much uh self righteousness, say, oh my gosh, Russia 1084 01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:18,640 Speaker 1: might meddle in future elections unless we do more. And 1085 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:20,760 Speaker 1: I said, well, what meddaling are we're really talking about. 1086 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 1: There'll be these Facebook sock puppets that spread mean rumors 1087 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:32,760 Speaker 1: about Hillary if it is that easy, If if creating 1088 01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:37,960 Speaker 1: some fake accounts overseas determines a presidential election the United States, 1089 01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,480 Speaker 1: we got even bigger problems in Russia. Everybody, I gotta 1090 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,240 Speaker 1: wonder what's going on with folks. But when you look 1091 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:49,840 Speaker 1: at the amount of information a noise out there, especially 1092 01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 1: in an election year, the notion that Russia would be 1093 01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 1: able to cut through all that and be the decider, 1094 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,560 Speaker 1: be the difference maker, it's just preposterous on its face, 1095 01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,000 Speaker 1: But that's what they're I bring up Russia and Maxie 1096 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:08,440 Speaker 1: Waters what Maximum Water here? Because um, she's indicative of 1097 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,760 Speaker 1: where this is all going. It's gonna be Russia. They're 1098 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna run an election campaign, meaning the Democrats, 1099 01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,840 Speaker 1: the d n C. They're gonna run on the president 1100 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:22,640 Speaker 1: United States is a UH is a cheater who worked 1101 01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,320 Speaker 1: with the Russians, betrayed his country. And that's why you 1102 01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 1: should vote for Democrats because what else do they have? 1103 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,160 Speaker 1: They don't want to. They're not gonna run on Obamacare 1104 01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,560 Speaker 1: because anybody who actually has Obamacare will just tell you 1105 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:35,520 Speaker 1: horror stories about how bad it is. For the most part, 1106 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 1: that's been my experience. Again, I know people who have 1107 01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 1: had to get plans off of the exchanges, and they 1108 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,840 Speaker 1: are generally very displeased with the plans that they have 1109 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 1: gotten off the exchanges. Yeah. I mean, it's great to 1110 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,440 Speaker 1: have healthcare when you have an eight thousand dollar or 1111 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars deductible and even when you hit the deductible, 1112 01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,439 Speaker 1: you're only seeing doctors that you really don't want to see. 1113 01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 1: So they have nothing to run on. Really, they're gonna 1114 01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 1: run on Trump as a racist who won't and who 1115 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: won't amnesty twelve million people and Russia. I don't think 1116 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 1: that's gonna be good enough. The only hope as I 1117 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 1: see it, the only hope that there is for the 1118 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:19,200 Speaker 1: Democrats take this for what it's worth, is if there's 1119 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,960 Speaker 1: a massive turn in the economy. Um, I think that's 1120 01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 1: the only way that they look. Maybe they'll win one 1121 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 1: or two seats on balance, but you know, all these 1122 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 1: elections are comes down to the candidate and the specifics 1123 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,760 Speaker 1: of the race, but overall our national level, if the 1124 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 1: economy is as strong as it is right now, I 1125 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,600 Speaker 1: just don't see how they can turn this thing around. 1126 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 1: I really don't. And I still know people who despite 1127 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,479 Speaker 1: some there's been some rockiness in the markets this week, 1128 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,640 Speaker 1: I still know people who are saying this is gonna 1129 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:48,200 Speaker 1: get even better. It's gonna be even better this year. 1130 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,600 Speaker 1: I like to be optimistic. I'm gonna continue to be 1131 01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:54,240 Speaker 1: optimistic about the economy until until it's clearly wrong. How 1132 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:57,680 Speaker 1: about that? That'll be my plan. Team lines are open 1133 01:06:57,680 --> 01:06:59,600 Speaker 1: if you want to chat, and by all means eight 1134 01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 1: four four n eight to five eight four four buck. 1135 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,320 Speaker 1: Also don't forget buck sexen dot com and you can 1136 01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:10,120 Speaker 1: check out gear from the team Team Bucky gear on 1137 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,880 Speaker 1: Buck sexing dot com.

I 1146 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,640 Speaker 1: for some reason just wanted to get to Malta because 1147 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 1: I really like it as a storyline. But I now 1148 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:52,360 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, maybe you know, I skipped over the seat 1149 01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,280 Speaker 1: of the first Siege of Vienna, But I feel like 1150 01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 1: now it's already been done, right, So I can't go 1151 01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,520 Speaker 1: back to I can't go back to the first Siege 1152 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 1: of Vienna. I had to do multi first. So some 1153 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 1: of you are like, what are you talking about, buck, 1154 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,840 Speaker 1: don't worry about it. All makes sense, I think, hopefully. Um, 1155 01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,720 Speaker 1: and when we come back, Oh wow, I've got a 1156 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 1: little bit of news about vote. Remember I mentioned before 1157 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 1: something about voting and whether you can vote if you're 1158 01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,559 Speaker 1: a felon. That just there's a breaking news story on that. 1159 01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:21,200 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll discuss that and some other wonderful stuff. Stay 1160 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:32,840 Speaker 1: with me so a team. I don't have a whole 1161 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:34,760 Speaker 1: lot on this, but I just wanted to note that 1162 01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,880 Speaker 1: I mentioned before for felons, because we're talking about whether 1163 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,000 Speaker 1: General Flynn should be or Mike Flynn should be pardoned. 1164 01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 1: And this just came in a few minutes ago. This 1165 01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:48,840 Speaker 1: is Miami Herald. A federal judge ruled that Florida's lifetime 1166 01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:53,760 Speaker 1: ban on restoring voting rights for felons violates the US Constitution. 1167 01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:59,280 Speaker 1: US District Judge Mark Walker said Florida's vote restoration process 1168 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 1: and fairly relies on the personal support of Governor Rick 1169 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 1: Scott for citizens to regain this fundamental right. Walker ruled 1170 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,439 Speaker 1: in a case brought by the Fair Elections Legal Network 1171 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:14,080 Speaker 1: at Washington, d C. Group that challenge the constitutionality of 1172 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:18,960 Speaker 1: the Florida system. All Right, So if this Walker's decision 1173 01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,599 Speaker 1: came nine days after the state approved a ballot measure that, 1174 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:25,560 Speaker 1: if passed in November, would restore the voting rights of 1175 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,639 Speaker 1: about one point two million felons, I would just note 1176 01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:33,720 Speaker 1: everyone that we are all quite aware that Democrats are 1177 01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:41,120 Speaker 1: certainly aware that the overwhelming number of felon voters they 1178 01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 1: expect will vote Democrat. Right, this is why Democrats are 1179 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:49,839 Speaker 1: so in favor of restoring voting rights for convicted felons. 1180 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: That didn't mcculloff also do this in Virginia. Wasn't that 1181 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:56,439 Speaker 1: a big fight with tera mcculiffe um. I think I 1182 01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,599 Speaker 1: think it was so. Anyway, that's that's an update from 1183 01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,439 Speaker 1: whether you can vote as a felon or not. And 1184 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 1: I know you can't own a you can't legally own 1185 01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,160 Speaker 1: a firearm, although for violent felons they tend not to 1186 01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 1: be like, oh gosh, I already served that ten years 1187 01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,479 Speaker 1: for armed robbery. I better not getting a legal gun 1188 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 1: for my next one. Right that tends not to slow 1189 01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:17,600 Speaker 1: them down necessarily. Um. But that's the story that I 1190 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,439 Speaker 1: had for you on or that's the only updated here 1191 01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:25,200 Speaker 1: for you on voting and felons and felons rights. So 1192 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't talk about it originally because I 1193 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:31,960 Speaker 1: wasn't really sure what are what are important analytic takeaway 1194 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,040 Speaker 1: could be or but but you know what, this guy 1195 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:36,760 Speaker 1: is such an idiot that I feel like we should 1196 01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,240 Speaker 1: just I don't want to skip over this entirely because 1197 01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,439 Speaker 1: it's it's indicative of a of a mindset that's much 1198 01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:46,800 Speaker 1: more widespread on the left than certainly the mainstream Democrats 1199 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:50,320 Speaker 1: want admitute This guy, Gregory Salcido, he is a teacher 1200 01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,320 Speaker 1: out in California, and he's on video and this is 1201 01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:57,000 Speaker 1: what this is what he had to say about the military. 1202 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:00,639 Speaker 1: Think about the people who you know, you're freaking stupid, 1203 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: Uncle Louis or whatever. They're done. They're not like high 1204 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,960 Speaker 1: level thinkers are not academic people that intellectual people. They're 1205 01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:09,599 Speaker 1: the freaking the lowest stuff I loan, they're not talented people. 1206 01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,679 Speaker 1: That's how when president talks says we have the best military, 1207 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 1: and with presidents where I'll say that the way it 1208 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 1: was Obama ways anybody, I was like, no, the data 1209 01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,639 Speaker 1: is in, we don't have a good military. We it's 1210 01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,759 Speaker 1: a lot that our military should do. Joined the military. 1211 01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,200 Speaker 1: It's because you have no other options, because you didn't 1212 01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:27,320 Speaker 1: take care of business, academic, you cause your parents didn't 1213 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,559 Speaker 1: love you enough to push you, and then you didn't 1214 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,240 Speaker 1: love yourself enough. Don't you ever freaking bring them to 1215 01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: your military. To this guy, I don't understand what we 1216 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:37,200 Speaker 1: let to freaking military guys come over here and recut 1217 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 1: you at school. We don't have pimps come into school. 1218 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:44,680 Speaker 1: It would be hard to think of a more stupid, incorrect, 1219 01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:48,160 Speaker 1: and offensive rant that one could come up with. It mean, 1220 01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 1: if you were writing the role in a movie of 1221 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:56,960 Speaker 1: moron who who defames the military, I'm not sure you 1222 01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,559 Speaker 1: you could manage to be quite as offensive as this guy. 1223 01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,479 Speaker 1: Or you have to try really hard, and you have 1224 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:06,679 Speaker 1: to wonder, how could anyone be so ungrateful and dumb 1225 01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 1: and and just disgraceful. I think General Kelly white House 1226 01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:18,200 Speaker 1: chief of Staff, nailed it pretty well well. I think 1227 01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 1: the guy I ought to go to hell. Um, I 1228 01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:24,160 Speaker 1: just hope he enjoys the liberties in the in the 1229 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:31,080 Speaker 1: lifestyle that that we have fought for. Yeah, I think 1230 01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:32,760 Speaker 1: a guy going to Hell is a pretty good That's 1231 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,559 Speaker 1: certainly a good start. And you know, this is all 1232 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,479 Speaker 1: stories saying, I don't know why people do this thing 1233 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,280 Speaker 1: of they they start sending you know, you never send 1234 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,920 Speaker 1: anyone death threats because now, first of all, you just 1235 01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 1: never do that. But also now they're turning the guy 1236 01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,920 Speaker 1: into a victim in the backlash. And instead of there's 1237 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,880 Speaker 1: this just being a teachable moment, now he gets to say, oh, 1238 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, the right wing is coming after me, although 1239 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,120 Speaker 1: the left wing is, or at least the mainstream Democrats 1240 01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: are annoyed too. Because this goes to show that in 1241 01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:03,600 Speaker 1: this country, if you're anti military, you're times out of 1242 01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,120 Speaker 1: a hundred you're on the left right. Times out of 1243 01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 1: a hundred, you're like a Democrat registered Bernie Sanders voter. 1244 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,160 Speaker 1: Maybe you're about the Working Families Party or something, or 1245 01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,559 Speaker 1: you know, Communist Party USA, but you're on the left. 1246 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,120 Speaker 1: If you're anti military, there's just no place for that 1247 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:19,960 Speaker 1: at all on the right. I mean, as there shouldn't 1248 01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:22,519 Speaker 1: be for it anywhere. I also just think it. It 1249 01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:28,840 Speaker 1: made me well. It reminded me of how this guy 1250 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,000 Speaker 1: is so wrong, he's so dumb. When I think of 1251 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:37,080 Speaker 1: some of my friends growing up who were not only served, 1252 01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 1: but served in in combat and some really some really 1253 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,920 Speaker 1: tough stuff in Iraq and Afghanistan, and my parents, if 1254 01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:46,840 Speaker 1: they're listening to show, they certainly know who I'm thinking of. 1255 01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:48,960 Speaker 1: A couple of them were friends of mine for many, 1256 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 1: many years. There are two guys in particular, UM, both 1257 01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 1: one and them both one of the Marine Corps. And 1258 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 1: not only were they yeah, I'm trying to think of 1259 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:03,000 Speaker 1: the this way to describe them, the guys that everybody 1260 01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:05,479 Speaker 1: you know knew and liked and went to great schools, 1261 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 1: but also the two of them came from very well 1262 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:14,360 Speaker 1: off backgrounds financially speaking, UM, and they both went into 1263 01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps and both went into combat U one enlisted, 1264 01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,240 Speaker 1: one as an officer. And they saw us. I mean, 1265 01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:24,759 Speaker 1: I've I've been out for it with with one of them. Actually, 1266 01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:26,000 Speaker 1: I've been out with both of them over drinks to 1267 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,439 Speaker 1: talk about it. But one of them, particular, I mean, 1268 01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:31,880 Speaker 1: he was he was in uh, the Fallujah part of 1269 01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:36,759 Speaker 1: the world when things were particularly spicy over there, and 1270 01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,599 Speaker 1: he saw some really you know, he saw some really 1271 01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:43,040 Speaker 1: fierce combat. And I just so so, you know, I 1272 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:46,960 Speaker 1: just have personal experience with friends of mine who served, 1273 01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,120 Speaker 1: who I knew growing up, and so that's why when 1274 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 1: he tells a story about, you know, no options, I'm like, actually, 1275 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:52,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the people that I know who went 1276 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,080 Speaker 1: to serve had nothing but options and had excelled in 1277 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,839 Speaker 1: everything they had ever done, and could have done anything 1278 01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:01,960 Speaker 1: they wanted to do, even if they hadn't excelled at 1279 01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,560 Speaker 1: everything they'd ever done, but they wanted to serve the 1280 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:06,679 Speaker 1: United States Marine Corps. They wanted to serve the United 1281 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:10,920 Speaker 1: States military. You know that this guy is not this 1282 01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:14,639 Speaker 1: this idiot who was speaking about this is not uh, 1283 01:15:15,360 --> 01:15:17,479 Speaker 1: he's almost not worth the time that I've already spent 1284 01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:20,920 Speaker 1: on him. But I do think that it's for for one, 1285 01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,800 Speaker 1: it's it gives me an opportunity to say that I 1286 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:28,680 Speaker 1: was always so impressed, uh, both in my time in 1287 01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,360 Speaker 1: Iraq and Afghanistan and then just state side as well. 1288 01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:34,799 Speaker 1: I spent time at lots of different military facilities doing training, 1289 01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:38,160 Speaker 1: and I guess I don't know the state side stuff 1290 01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:39,960 Speaker 1: I can probably talk about, although not all of it's 1291 01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:41,479 Speaker 1: on of it and not allowed to talk about. Uh. 1292 01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:44,479 Speaker 1: But I was always so impressed with our military, and 1293 01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:46,760 Speaker 1: uh it was such an honor to be around them 1294 01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:50,439 Speaker 1: as a civilian intelligence analyst and to be even some 1295 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,439 Speaker 1: little small part of what they were doing day to 1296 01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 1: day overseas. And and then also it's just it is 1297 01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,439 Speaker 1: a reminder for me, or for all of us, that 1298 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 1: there exists on the left, this this distaste for the 1299 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,000 Speaker 1: military that I think just has to come from a 1300 01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:11,320 Speaker 1: sense of the uh well, one of a wild ignorance 1301 01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:12,960 Speaker 1: of what the milit This guy doesn't know an even 1302 01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,120 Speaker 1: milit he doesn't know anything. This guy is a complete imbecile. 1303 01:16:15,200 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 1: But also for a lot of a lot of leftists, 1304 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: the military just makes them uncomfortable. It makes them feel, 1305 01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, that that there are people who would be 1306 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:27,560 Speaker 1: willing to sacrifice what those in our military do and 1307 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:32,360 Speaker 1: and have the virtues of those who serve in uniform. 1308 01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:34,800 Speaker 1: It makes the people that would criticize the military just 1309 01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:38,000 Speaker 1: makes them feel so uncomfortable and small and less then 1310 01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:52,360 Speaker 1: so they lash out other shows just talk at you 1311 01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hud. We have a mission. We fight 1312 01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,240 Speaker 1: for the truth in a team effort and buck us 1313 01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:06,879 Speaker 1: back with our next play. There's been talk of raids 1314 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:11,400 Speaker 1: on California businesses for a while. I'm saying that it's happened. 1315 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:15,680 Speaker 1: This week is seventies seven businesses in northern California. Immigrations 1316 01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:20,439 Speaker 1: and Customs enforcement officers have gone in, and let's say raids. 1317 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 1: They make it sound like they're swooping in there with 1318 01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,720 Speaker 1: swat teams and guys who are repelling off the helicopters. 1319 01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,080 Speaker 1: Move Move Move. It's not like that they show up, 1320 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:33,240 Speaker 1: probably wearing windbreakers that say ice on them, Ice ice baby, 1321 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,800 Speaker 1: And you know they probably show up and they say, hey, 1322 01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,160 Speaker 1: do you have papers for all your workers? And I'm 1323 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's I'm not saying it's a pleasant experience, 1324 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,439 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's They're not exactly rolling the 1325 01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 1: flash bangs in there, like weir, you may have illegal 1326 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:53,880 Speaker 1: workers in this meat processing factory. Move Move Move. I 1327 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,400 Speaker 1: don't think that's what the way that it goes. But 1328 01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 1: I'm sure that they've gone in and they're checking the workers, 1329 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:02,240 Speaker 1: and in California, that makes businesses nerve. I wonder what 1330 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:07,559 Speaker 1: what percentage of hourly wage paying businesses in California have 1331 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:11,439 Speaker 1: have at least one illegal immig work. I have no idea. 1332 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:13,120 Speaker 1: That's not like a retroical question where I'm about to 1333 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,160 Speaker 1: say and I'm bucked. So I've got an answer, but 1334 01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:19,920 Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's probably pretty high. But this is one 1335 01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 1: of the many different facets of the discussion of immigration that, 1336 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:25,760 Speaker 1: as I've been said, we're gonna have. But you know, 1337 01:18:26,280 --> 01:18:28,320 Speaker 1: then you get into some of the media on this 1338 01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:31,639 Speaker 1: and you think they need to do some more were 1339 01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:36,760 Speaker 1: research on these topics. Uh. Joy Read, who is a 1340 01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 1: host at MSNBC. Now, look, we've had some we've heard 1341 01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,240 Speaker 1: some dumb things said. This week on air, we had 1342 01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:50,080 Speaker 1: Kirsten Gillibrand with chained migration. So that was pretty bad 1343 01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,040 Speaker 1: for a sitting US senator. Joy Read is not a 1344 01:18:52,080 --> 01:18:54,560 Speaker 1: sitting US senator, but she is a host at MSNBC, 1345 01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:56,400 Speaker 1: and I'm assuming she gets paid a whole lot of 1346 01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 1: money to do that job. And she weighed in on 1347 01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,800 Speaker 1: the issue of MS thirteen and here's how it went. 1348 01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,320 Speaker 1: And give the speech tonight in which he makes it 1349 01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,960 Speaker 1: sound like the biggest issue in the United States are 1350 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,160 Speaker 1: the biggest one is MS thirteen, a gang nobody that 1351 01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,400 Speaker 1: doesn't watch Foxos has ever heard of. So it makes 1352 01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:19,719 Speaker 1: it sound like they're the biggest Nobody that's never watched 1353 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 1: Fox News has ever heard of m S thirteen. How 1354 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:28,280 Speaker 1: Mara Salvatrucha thirteen an international criminal gang that has infiltrated 1355 01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:34,680 Speaker 1: UH dozens of states across the country. A gang that 1356 01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:37,720 Speaker 1: is well known actually in the DC area. Some of 1357 01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:41,679 Speaker 1: you who live in some parts of sort of sort 1358 01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:45,720 Speaker 1: of the Beltway region will be like, yep, we've had 1359 01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:50,280 Speaker 1: really terrible problems with m S thirteen. There were two 1360 01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: young women murdered in their parents with the State of 1361 01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,280 Speaker 1: the Union address that was in Long Island. You're in 1362 01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:59,200 Speaker 1: the New York areas at an hour or so from 1363 01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:03,720 Speaker 1: where I am doing this show right now. So and 1364 01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:07,280 Speaker 1: and the gangs, yes, they say they started in US prisons, 1365 01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 1: but their local the locusts of power. Oh maybe because 1366 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:14,280 Speaker 1: the border is porous, and so MS thirteen gang members 1367 01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:16,520 Speaker 1: can go back and forth. And that's actually an advantage, 1368 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:19,080 Speaker 1: isn't it to be able to leave the country where 1369 01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:21,439 Speaker 1: you're doing the crimes and go to a country where 1370 01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:26,040 Speaker 1: you can have relative safe haven because there's no effective 1371 01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 1: rule of law in place right Al Salvador, Honduras, parts 1372 01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:33,679 Speaker 1: of Mexico. But this is what you're going to get, 1373 01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: the propagation of ignorance when it comes to immigration, because 1374 01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:45,320 Speaker 1: they would rather tell people lies about things like m S. 1375 01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:49,559 Speaker 1: Thirteen and make this a make gang activity that ties 1376 01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,760 Speaker 1: to border security and immigration, making an issue of just 1377 01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:56,839 Speaker 1: Fox News making a problem of the of the Fox 1378 01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,720 Speaker 1: News sphere instead of having to attack to tackle it 1379 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,800 Speaker 1: and deal with it, which you know, I think that 1380 01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,960 Speaker 1: once we start to force one of the most important 1381 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:08,720 Speaker 1: things we could do for the immigration debate, in my 1382 01:21:10,280 --> 01:21:14,200 Speaker 1: humble opinion, would be to force states to start keeping 1383 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:19,000 Speaker 1: much better stats on illegal alien crime and what's going 1384 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:22,240 Speaker 1: on in the States that has to do with illegal 1385 01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:26,080 Speaker 1: aliens breaking the law. In general, the Feds have pretty 1386 01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: decent stats and and there's a high percentage, especially when 1387 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:33,120 Speaker 1: you add in drug crimes, a lot of illegal alien 1388 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: drug crime, and so that's already well established. But if 1389 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:39,560 Speaker 1: you're talking about violent crime, as I've been mentioned to 1390 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,160 Speaker 1: you on the show, then you've really got to get 1391 01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:43,840 Speaker 1: into what's going on at the state level. That's where 1392 01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 1: you get state prisons and the activities of law enforcement 1393 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:52,040 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be federal necessarily, And that's where I think 1394 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,839 Speaker 1: you'd see that this is a is a big issue 1395 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:59,080 Speaker 1: m and MS thirteen is frightening because I've told you 1396 01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:03,559 Speaker 1: it's also it's incredibly violent, and the gang initiations are 1397 01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:09,519 Speaker 1: are brutal, beyond the brutal, beyond imagination. Um. But they're 1398 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:14,760 Speaker 1: also often doing the bidding of bigger transnational criminal organizations. 1399 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,840 Speaker 1: And this is all part of the storyline that you 1400 01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:22,240 Speaker 1: would be hearing if the media cared to talk much 1401 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,880 Speaker 1: about this, but they have, and I would also not. 1402 01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:28,680 Speaker 1: You see how it's always whenever we're talking about legal immigration, 1403 01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:34,280 Speaker 1: there's always this focus on Well, of course, the Valedictorians 1404 01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,720 Speaker 1: the most sympathetic stories possible because they're trying to push 1405 01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:41,599 Speaker 1: a narrative. I get that. Well, you'll notice that they 1406 01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 1: you don't hear a lot of stories. You don't read 1407 01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:45,720 Speaker 1: a lot of stories about other forms of legal immigration 1408 01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:48,920 Speaker 1: that are going on, that aren't coming from south of 1409 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:53,080 Speaker 1: the border, that aren't involving Mexico and Central American countries. Yeah, 1410 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,200 Speaker 1: are we allowed to have it? Is it racist? Is 1411 01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:59,360 Speaker 1: it xenophobic? Does it make you a bad person if 1412 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:02,840 Speaker 1: you think that a people who come here from China 1413 01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 1: specifically to have a baby on US soil so that 1414 01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:09,520 Speaker 1: the baby has citizenship, but then go back to China 1415 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,360 Speaker 1: right away, so the person is raised in China but 1416 01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,800 Speaker 1: then has US citizenship. And this means that later on 1417 01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,280 Speaker 1: they can come here for for school or for whatever 1418 01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:21,280 Speaker 1: they want to do. Are we allowed to object to that? 1419 01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:26,320 Speaker 1: Is that not scamming the system? I think actually some 1420 01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:29,479 Speaker 1: guy just got in trouble, by the way in I 1421 01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:34,680 Speaker 1: think it was Massachusetts for marrying nine women so that 1422 01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 1: they could become permanent residents. Right, it was a fraudulent 1423 01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,639 Speaker 1: marriage scheme. These are there are all these different ways 1424 01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,559 Speaker 1: that people are abusing the system and enforcement is very low. 1425 01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,400 Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's not like the guy got to 1426 01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:50,519 Speaker 1: wife number two or three and they figured out that 1427 01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:56,560 Speaker 1: he was engaged in fraudulent marriage nine and he was busy. 1428 01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,720 Speaker 1: That's a lot of that's a lot of marriages. That's like, 1429 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:01,880 Speaker 1: that's like Larry King novel marriages. He's got I think 1430 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 1: he's yeah, I went there like seven or eight. Hey, 1431 01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:10,439 Speaker 1: buck back off, I'm lucky number seven. But Larry, Larry, 1432 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,760 Speaker 1: I think he managed to seven He's managed to seven wives. Um, 1433 01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 1: but is he still on that channel, by the way, 1434 01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,200 Speaker 1: the one that's the he wasn't even a weird you know, 1435 01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:20,680 Speaker 1: he's still doing a thing, right. I forget what it 1436 01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:22,720 Speaker 1: is when of these guys, he was just never ever 1437 01:24:22,720 --> 01:24:25,400 Speaker 1: going to give up, never done with, never done with media, 1438 01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:28,040 Speaker 1: and never done with you know, Hey, there's always time 1439 01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:31,960 Speaker 1: for another wife. But yeah, this guy had had nine people. Buck, 1440 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,519 Speaker 1: it could have been true love the whole time, with 1441 01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 1: all the different ones. Okay, I mean, look whatever, it's 1442 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 1: not my life. Um, but the different ways that the 1443 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:46,519 Speaker 1: immigration system are scammed, it just should be bothersome to 1444 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:48,960 Speaker 1: all Americans. And that's never the discussion we get to have. 1445 01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:52,439 Speaker 1: We never get to talk about fixes. It's just all 1446 01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,040 Speaker 1: we've heard about our dreamers. I want more of a 1447 01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,800 Speaker 1: discussion of Remember the Trump administration set up in office 1448 01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:02,679 Speaker 1: to set up the statistics of illegal alien crime. I'd 1449 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,360 Speaker 1: like to know what those numbers are. We should all 1450 01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:06,840 Speaker 1: be much more familiar with that. We should know what 1451 01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 1: some of the statistics involved here are. That makes makes 1452 01:25:10,960 --> 01:25:15,240 Speaker 1: it possible for us to make better decisions. Show, Um, 1453 01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna get into a roll call obviously later on. Also, 1454 01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:22,280 Speaker 1: we've got a phenomenal congressional candidate joining was a former 1455 01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 1: Navy seal. He's gonna tell you his story, and we've 1456 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,360 Speaker 1: got a lot more coming. Oh and also Miko on 1457 01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,320 Speaker 1: Morning Joe said something interesting for a change. We'll be 1458 01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:34,320 Speaker 1: back with that. Stay with me. I do not watch 1459 01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,080 Speaker 1: Morning Joe because it is on MSNBC. I also don't 1460 01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,479 Speaker 1: watch it because I think it's a smug, boring show 1461 01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:45,160 Speaker 1: full of people who don't say anything particularly insightful. But occasionally, 1462 01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:49,960 Speaker 1: any show that's on cable news might stumble upon an 1463 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:55,720 Speaker 1: interesting exchange, and that actually happened on Morning Joe earlier today. 1464 01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 1: So this guy, Michael Wolf, we all know him because 1465 01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:03,920 Speaker 1: of fire and fury. He's been getting all kinds of 1466 01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,760 Speaker 1: heat because he came out and said things like if 1467 01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,200 Speaker 1: it rings true, it is true. And he is now 1468 01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:17,160 Speaker 1: a h an emblem, a symbol of the era of 1469 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:22,200 Speaker 1: fake news, anti Trump journalism in which we find ourselves. 1470 01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 1: And he has said some really nasty stuff about various 1471 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:31,560 Speaker 1: people in Trump's orbit, including that the really the nastiest 1472 01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:36,280 Speaker 1: has to do with the insinuations that he has made 1473 01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:41,519 Speaker 1: recently that Nicky Haley, the U S Ambassador United Nations 1474 01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,840 Speaker 1: and a former governors you all know that she has 1475 01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,800 Speaker 1: had an affair with Donald Trump, which is such a 1476 01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,600 Speaker 1: grotesque and unfair charge that even repeating the charge that 1477 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:54,960 Speaker 1: he made makes me feel uncomfortable because it feels like 1478 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:58,679 Speaker 1: it's something that should not be repeated, even as as 1479 01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:02,240 Speaker 1: quoting someone else. But we have have to smash the lie, 1480 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,160 Speaker 1: and to smash the lie, you have to define it. 1481 01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,800 Speaker 1: You do have to say it. And he wrote in 1482 01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,479 Speaker 1: the end of the book about how Nicki Haley's spent 1483 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:11,920 Speaker 1: very close to Trump talking about her future, spending a 1484 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,519 Speaker 1: lone time, and then he went on the Bill Maher show, um, 1485 01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,439 Speaker 1: which I for a whole bunch of reasons, have have 1486 01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,920 Speaker 1: never been asked to appear on. I don't think ever 1487 01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,960 Speaker 1: will be because I would smoke fools, because that's what 1488 01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:28,080 Speaker 1: I do. But the Bill mar Show had this guy on, 1489 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 1: I think it was last week. I did not watch. 1490 01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,680 Speaker 1: I do not watch it. And he said, well, if 1491 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:37,519 Speaker 1: you want to know something else that you know that's 1492 01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,280 Speaker 1: interesting about Trump and he's having an affair, And they said, 1493 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:41,640 Speaker 1: what do you mean. He goes, well, you know, if 1494 01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 1: you look at the end of my book, you'll get 1495 01:27:43,960 --> 01:27:47,240 Speaker 1: a hint. He was not subtle about it. And so 1496 01:27:47,320 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 1: he's basically he's basically sad that Nicky Haley he's having 1497 01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,000 Speaker 1: an affair at the president United States, which is just 1498 01:27:53,920 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is a client. I want my 1499 01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:59,040 Speaker 1: twelve dollars back for the kindle download of this guy's book, 1500 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:04,160 Speaker 1: Fire and Fury. But Mika, oh, look at this. Mika 1501 01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:08,280 Speaker 1: had had enough. Finally, here here is how this exchange went. 1502 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:12,880 Speaker 1: Let's put this next question, uh, in the entire credibility 1503 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,040 Speaker 1: of your book, which was written really quickly. Excuse me, 1504 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:20,240 Speaker 1: your book. Let's let's let's put it on this next question. 1505 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:25,080 Speaker 1: Do you regret inferring anything about Nicki Haley. I. I 1506 01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:29,439 Speaker 1: didn't infer anything about Nicki Haley. What I inferred was 1507 01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:34,559 Speaker 1: that the president is um um is that many of 1508 01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,479 Speaker 1: the people around the president believe he is still involved 1509 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,240 Speaker 1: with various women. But you said she spent a lot 1510 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:44,559 Speaker 1: of time in private time with that's I totally totally. 1511 01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:48,519 Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly what people report and now, and 1512 01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:52,800 Speaker 1: specifically that was about her bid to become the Secretary 1513 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:56,080 Speaker 1: of State. So everywhere in the White House they were 1514 01:28:56,160 --> 01:29:00,479 Speaker 1: suddenly in a in a in quite a pen that 1515 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:07,040 Speaker 1: this was actually happening. Has embraced it. Um, I'm going 1516 01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,760 Speaker 1: to go as far as to say that you might 1517 01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,360 Speaker 1: be having a fun time playing. So hold on, so 1518 01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:14,600 Speaker 1: you see what he's doing there by the way, you know, 1519 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 1: depending on which audience this guy Wolf is talking to, 1520 01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,000 Speaker 1: he he just changes what he's saying or changes what 1521 01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:24,439 Speaker 1: he's inferring. And she's got him here on this one 1522 01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:28,200 Speaker 1: because it is not it has not been murky what 1523 01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:31,439 Speaker 1: his insinuation has been. She's not saying you explicitly said it, 1524 01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:34,280 Speaker 1: but you you know, this is like saying, oh, you 1525 01:29:34,320 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 1: know who I think is the dumbest person in Congress? 1526 01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:42,720 Speaker 1: Franci loc Well, I think people would figure out who 1527 01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:45,200 Speaker 1: I'm referring to, right, you know, it's it's not I 1528 01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:48,320 Speaker 1: didn't technically name anyone in Congress, but it's I'm not 1529 01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm not being I'm not being clever there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1530 01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:56,960 Speaker 1: you're not big clever. So he continues on with this, 1531 01:29:58,520 --> 01:30:02,240 Speaker 1: let's put this next question, Uh, the entire credibility of 1532 01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:06,040 Speaker 1: your book, which was written really quickly, excuse me, your book. 1533 01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:10,439 Speaker 1: Let's let's let's put it on this next question, do 1534 01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:14,639 Speaker 1: you regret inferring anything about Nicki Haley. I. I didn't 1535 01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:19,040 Speaker 1: infer anything about Nicki Haley. What I inferred was that 1536 01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:23,880 Speaker 1: the president is um um is that many of the 1537 01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:26,880 Speaker 1: people around the president believe he is still involved with 1538 01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:29,479 Speaker 1: various women. Now, but you said she spent a lot 1539 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:33,759 Speaker 1: of time in private time with that's I totally, totally. 1540 01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:37,760 Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly what people report and now, and 1541 01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:42,040 Speaker 1: specifically that was about her bid to become the Secretary 1542 01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:45,280 Speaker 1: of State. So everywhere in the White House they were 1543 01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:49,680 Speaker 1: suddenly in a in a in quite a panic that 1544 01:30:49,800 --> 01:30:55,560 Speaker 1: this was actually happenings why they pushed has embraced it. Um, 1545 01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to go as far as might be having 1546 01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:01,800 Speaker 1: a fun time. I'm playing a little game dancing around this. 1547 01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:06,679 Speaker 1: But you're slurring a woman. It's disgraceful. It's and and um, 1548 01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:11,120 Speaker 1: Mika again, she has been accused of nothing. She has 1549 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:14,240 Speaker 1: decided to deny what she has not been accused of. 1550 01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:17,680 Speaker 1: Certainly I didn't accuse her of this. The wait, are 1551 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,320 Speaker 1: you are you suggesting that much suggesting the language is 1552 01:31:20,360 --> 01:31:23,559 Speaker 1: not ambiguous in any way, and the things that you've 1553 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,200 Speaker 1: said in the way you've come. Are you kidding? You're 1554 01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:29,280 Speaker 1: on the Saturday Morning Joe. We don't be as here, well, no, 1555 01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:34,360 Speaker 1: not of a set of Morning Joe. Are you kidding me? 1556 01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:40,200 Speaker 1: If you don't get it, you don't get about I'm sorry, 1557 01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:42,559 Speaker 1: this is awkward. You're here on the set with us. 1558 01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,400 Speaker 1: But we're done, Michael Will thank you. We're gonna go 1559 01:31:45,439 --> 01:31:47,519 Speaker 1: to break now. Look I give her some credit for 1560 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:49,799 Speaker 1: finally dropping the hammer there. Although I love this. Excuse 1561 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:53,240 Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, this is the set of Morning Joe. 1562 01:31:53,439 --> 01:31:57,040 Speaker 1: Like like this is, you know, sixty minutes in the 1563 01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:59,400 Speaker 1: eighties or something like. Just just just calm yourself there 1564 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:00,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. All right, I've seen a lot of 1565 01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:06,080 Speaker 1: stuff on Morning Joe. It's not impressive. But this guy, 1566 01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:08,559 Speaker 1: this is why this matters. I mean, forget about them, 1567 01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 1: get thing because at this point that he's become he's 1568 01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:14,479 Speaker 1: become pretty toxic. Well you'll notice that when it was useful, 1569 01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:16,639 Speaker 1: the media was all playing along. They're all going on 1570 01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:18,759 Speaker 1: with this, and I told you I want my twelve 1571 01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:20,920 Speaker 1: dollars back from Kindle or whatever it was for doubling 1572 01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:25,439 Speaker 1: this guy's nonsense book. But when it was damaging the 1573 01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,479 Speaker 1: Trump you know, this is a common theme when it 1574 01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:31,360 Speaker 1: was useful for them. There, Oh, we gotta look at 1575 01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:33,200 Speaker 1: this guy, and we got a book him for all 1576 01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:36,600 Speaker 1: these interviews and everything else. You know, you look at 1577 01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:38,160 Speaker 1: the way they treat him, and then you compare that 1578 01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,240 Speaker 1: to say, I don't know, compare that to like the 1579 01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,439 Speaker 1: way the media responded to and Coulter's book Audios America, 1580 01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:47,000 Speaker 1: which Trump read and then took some messaging from to 1581 01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:50,120 Speaker 1: become the next president of the United States. Oh no, 1582 01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:51,840 Speaker 1: I can't have you know, they they've got all these 1583 01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:53,680 Speaker 1: problems about and she talks about it on air all 1584 01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:57,320 Speaker 1: the time. But this guy, Michael Wolf, he comes along 1585 01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,519 Speaker 1: with this book. He's just saying nons and stuff. You 1586 01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:02,600 Speaker 1: read the book, you go, there's no way, and you 1587 01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:06,400 Speaker 1: can always tell to this whole reconstructed conversations. I can't 1588 01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:08,840 Speaker 1: remember what I said to like my family or my 1589 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,920 Speaker 1: girlfriend twelve hours ago. There's notion that your journalists like. 1590 01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:14,960 Speaker 1: And then he furrowed his brow and said something that's 1591 01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,080 Speaker 1: just perfect for my book right then, like, no way, 1592 01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:22,439 Speaker 1: no way. I've sat in a fair amount of high 1593 01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:27,719 Speaker 1: level government meetings. I've been around people and important national 1594 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:31,840 Speaker 1: security topics were being discussed, and it's very rare for 1595 01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,720 Speaker 1: someone to say something that you're like, Wow, that's a 1596 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,360 Speaker 1: real doozy. That's quite that's quite a line, you know, 1597 01:33:37,960 --> 01:33:41,400 Speaker 1: Mr President, I don't dance. You know, that's not It 1598 01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:43,559 Speaker 1: works in clear and present danger, but that's not the 1599 01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:47,880 Speaker 1: way the old Potomac two step Jack. You guys remember 1600 01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,320 Speaker 1: that scene in clear and present danger. It's good, Yeah, exactly. 1601 01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:52,559 Speaker 1: You know you're going to keep this one in your 1602 01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:56,240 Speaker 1: back pocket. I do sound just like the President, So 1603 01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:58,519 Speaker 1: I'm just putting that out there. Getting a little heat 1604 01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:00,840 Speaker 1: lately for some of my impressions. But go back and 1605 01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:02,960 Speaker 1: watch that movie. I could be that actor whatever his 1606 01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:08,519 Speaker 1: name is. Anyway. But this whole Michael wolfbook, they used it. 1607 01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:11,640 Speaker 1: They trashed Trump yea to borrow from the one and 1608 01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,760 Speaker 1: only for a second Rush Limbaugh, the whole notion of 1609 01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:16,719 Speaker 1: the drive by media. The reason it's such a great 1610 01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,439 Speaker 1: thing to say it's stuck for solo because it's so true, 1611 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,080 Speaker 1: right Michael Wolf. It's like he's the guy in the 1612 01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 1: back seat with two tech nine just spraying all over 1613 01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:27,599 Speaker 1: the place. And yeah, you know, now they'll now, they'll 1614 01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:29,599 Speaker 1: let him go to prison. But you know they drove 1615 01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:31,800 Speaker 1: him there. You know, they let him do his thing, 1616 01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:34,200 Speaker 1: They let him smear a bunch of people, and they 1617 01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:39,360 Speaker 1: let him it is. It is just appalling. And finally 1618 01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:41,680 Speaker 1: now he really gets called out for it, and it's 1619 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:46,639 Speaker 1: on an issue, a me to issue, which is also 1620 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:50,840 Speaker 1: a a place where you'll see plenty of big media 1621 01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:54,000 Speaker 1: names playing folks in the news. This is now a 1622 01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,160 Speaker 1: brand issue for them, right. They want to be the 1623 01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,559 Speaker 1: person that speaks out against any an me too stuff, 1624 01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:03,240 Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's it's not an active bravery 1625 01:35:03,280 --> 01:35:05,640 Speaker 1: to stand up now and call it out for for 1626 01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:07,840 Speaker 1: me too. I will. This is kind of funny. I 1627 01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:09,960 Speaker 1: just I just saw this before today on the five, 1628 01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,720 Speaker 1: but there was a total change of pace. But they 1629 01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:15,439 Speaker 1: do text from mom. Do you ever see this? They have, 1630 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:18,120 Speaker 1: some of them do these texts from their mom? I 1631 01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:21,599 Speaker 1: always I have some. I have some. It's pretty funny. Yeah. 1632 01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:25,040 Speaker 1: I have some conservative friends here in New York, and 1633 01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:28,240 Speaker 1: I I keep all of my personal correspondence in in 1634 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,640 Speaker 1: privacy and always will unless they were to give me 1635 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:34,280 Speaker 1: permission explicitly and say you can use this stuff, because 1636 01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:36,040 Speaker 1: I get great stuff. I'm like, man, I want to 1637 01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,200 Speaker 1: steal some of my friends lines and throw them on Twitter, 1638 01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,599 Speaker 1: and I get great stuff sent to me all the time. 1639 01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:43,880 Speaker 1: The conservative underground in New York City is a very 1640 01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 1: very well well read and witty group of folks because 1641 01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:50,160 Speaker 1: we have to be you know, you gotta be ready 1642 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:53,240 Speaker 1: for whatever. But that's I guess I'll have to think 1643 01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:54,720 Speaker 1: about a way to get that going another time. I 1644 01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:56,920 Speaker 1: would love to have some of my stealth conservative friends 1645 01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:58,680 Speaker 1: calling here. We'd have to give them. It would have 1646 01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:01,240 Speaker 1: to be like one of those shows where they do 1647 01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:03,720 Speaker 1: the guy who's in the witness protection or something, and 1648 01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:06,200 Speaker 1: they do the word you know they met. They make 1649 01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:09,160 Speaker 1: the voice all weird. I didn't do a good job 1650 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:10,960 Speaker 1: of that impression at all, but and they blur out 1651 01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,360 Speaker 1: the face. We have to do that with the Conservatives 1652 01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:15,559 Speaker 1: because I want them get in trouble with their Wall 1653 01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:18,479 Speaker 1: Street jobs or whatever else they do here. But these 1654 01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:21,639 Speaker 1: are just segment ideas that I have. So uh yeah, anyway, 1655 01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:23,840 Speaker 1: so good for me. Back to Morning Joe. Good for 1656 01:36:23,880 --> 01:36:27,920 Speaker 1: me because she finally did something worth while on Morning Joe. Uh, 1657 01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:33,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to a retired Navy seal Purple Heart recipient. 1658 01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:35,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to him in just a moment here 1659 01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,200 Speaker 1: about his run for Congress. If fascinating, guy, Stay with 1660 01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:40,760 Speaker 1: me for that and much more. All right, everybody, So 1661 01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:43,240 Speaker 1: the midterms are always away, but we've already got some 1662 01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:46,360 Speaker 1: very interesting story shaping up, some different races across the 1663 01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:49,000 Speaker 1: ton of the country that are getting some attention. I 1664 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:52,080 Speaker 1: want to introduce you to Dan Crenshaw. Dan is a 1665 01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:56,639 Speaker 1: retired lieutenant commander. He's running for Congress to replace retiring 1666 01:36:56,680 --> 01:37:01,720 Speaker 1: Republican Congressman Ted Poe. Crenshaw was medically retired after a 1667 01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:05,960 Speaker 1: ten year career in the Navy Seals. Dan revealed that 1668 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:07,800 Speaker 1: he was hit by an I E. D blast in 1669 01:37:07,840 --> 01:37:10,920 Speaker 1: Afghanistan will on his third deployment. He lost his right 1670 01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:14,120 Speaker 1: eye and his left eye was badly damaged. He explains 1671 01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:16,920 Speaker 1: that after several miracle surgeries, he was able to regain 1672 01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,920 Speaker 1: sight in his left eye, and Dan Crenshaw retired the 1673 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,559 Speaker 1: tenant Commander. Crenshaw is now running for Congress. Dahn, great 1674 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:26,240 Speaker 1: to have you on, great to be here, Thank you 1675 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:28,000 Speaker 1: for having me. All right, just just tell folks a 1676 01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,320 Speaker 1: little bit about your story. It's it's quite compelling, and 1677 01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:33,880 Speaker 1: it's good to see that people with backgrounds like yours 1678 01:37:33,920 --> 01:37:37,240 Speaker 1: are trying to get into the political arena. Yeah, I 1679 01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:39,559 Speaker 1: mean you you hit all the high points. Um did 1680 01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:43,400 Speaker 1: about five deployments overall. After I did get hurt, like 1681 01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:45,920 Speaker 1: I left the Navy kicking and screaming, I did two 1682 01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:48,200 Speaker 1: more deployments back to the Middle East, and then my 1683 01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:52,679 Speaker 1: last one two six team was in Korea mostly until 1684 01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 1: the operations related. So, um, you know, one of the 1685 01:37:56,920 --> 01:37:58,919 Speaker 1: reasons I'm running is because I want people in Congress 1686 01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:02,280 Speaker 1: with a he said, relevant experience on some of the 1687 01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:04,839 Speaker 1: bigger issues are president is facing right now. That's Korea, 1688 01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:08,280 Speaker 1: that's the Iran, it's kind of terrorism, it's kind of 1689 01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:11,640 Speaker 1: prolifration issues. And uh, you know, the competition doesn't know 1690 01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:13,840 Speaker 1: anything about these. They just got talking points. And when 1691 01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,720 Speaker 1: it comes to national security, it comes to border security, 1692 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:20,920 Speaker 1: comes to our defense, you can't rely on talking points, 1693 01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 1: You can't rely on a think tank to tell you 1694 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:27,000 Speaker 1: what to think. You need experience, and I think the 1695 01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:30,320 Speaker 1: people in our leadership in Washington needs folks who can 1696 01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:33,720 Speaker 1: hit the ground running. Um. It's important to me and 1697 01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:35,640 Speaker 1: it's important to the safety of our country. Talk to 1698 01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,960 Speaker 1: you a bit about Korea dance, specifically the North South issue. 1699 01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:41,439 Speaker 1: Kim Jong on What do you think about what the 1700 01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:44,599 Speaker 1: Trump administration has been doing thus far and what would 1701 01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 1: you either like to see changed or more of with 1702 01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:51,439 Speaker 1: regard to North Korea if you were to be in Congress. Well, 1703 01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:54,240 Speaker 1: it's there's no easy answer to to solve in the 1704 01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:57,800 Speaker 1: North Spring crisis. UM. I think the President is trying 1705 01:38:57,840 --> 01:38:59,960 Speaker 1: a new track. I think there's method to the man 1706 01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:04,160 Speaker 1: is you. We need to create more leverage over the 1707 01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:06,840 Speaker 1: North Koreans and that's through China, and the President is 1708 01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:08,839 Speaker 1: doing that with a lot of a lot of rhetoric 1709 01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:11,160 Speaker 1: that maybe scares people. But if you don't have a 1710 01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:14,479 Speaker 1: credible threat on the table, that's a military action on 1711 01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:16,320 Speaker 1: the table. If it's not credible, if they don't think 1712 01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,559 Speaker 1: you'll do it. Uh. The Chinese willing act and we 1713 01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:22,040 Speaker 1: really need the Chinese to use their influence over the 1714 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,599 Speaker 1: North Koreans to bring them back. And I think behind 1715 01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:27,080 Speaker 1: the scenes we might be seeing that. So I think 1716 01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:31,280 Speaker 1: there is some method to that to what seems like madness. Um. 1717 01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:33,640 Speaker 1: But we have to keep the pressure on. We have 1718 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:35,720 Speaker 1: to look at what more sanctions we can do and 1719 01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:39,200 Speaker 1: isolate that regime and punish them for their bad behavior. Um. 1720 01:39:39,680 --> 01:39:44,479 Speaker 1: What what is new about this particular, Um, you know, 1721 01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:48,040 Speaker 1: new phase in North Korean relationships is the fact that 1722 01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:50,679 Speaker 1: they have an I CBM that can reach the United States. 1723 01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:53,559 Speaker 1: That when when this kind of saber rattling was occurring before, 1724 01:39:53,800 --> 01:39:56,120 Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. We didn't have to worry as much. 1725 01:39:56,160 --> 01:39:58,400 Speaker 1: But it is the case now and we do have 1726 01:39:58,479 --> 01:39:59,920 Speaker 1: to worry about the time when they can actually put 1727 01:39:59,920 --> 01:40:02,559 Speaker 1: a NUC their warhead on that I CBM that can 1728 01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,280 Speaker 1: reach the United States. That's the real ticking time bomb 1729 01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:07,599 Speaker 1: for to speak, that we do not want to see 1730 01:40:07,640 --> 01:40:12,360 Speaker 1: happen and we cannot let happen. Speaking to retired Lieutenant 1731 01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:15,280 Speaker 1: Commander Dan Crunshaw of the Navy Seals, he is running 1732 01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:20,800 Speaker 1: for Congress in the Texas Congressional District number two. Uh 1733 01:40:20,960 --> 01:40:24,000 Speaker 1: so tell me about being a Texan, Dan, I love Texas. 1734 01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:26,000 Speaker 1: I used to work for the Blaze out of Dallas 1735 01:40:26,040 --> 01:40:28,559 Speaker 1: and spent a lot of time down there. I love 1736 01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:34,480 Speaker 1: Texas too, you know. And UH, good answer, needless to say. 1737 01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:37,679 Speaker 1: And you know what's important to us and here in Texas, 1738 01:40:37,840 --> 01:40:41,240 Speaker 1: it's sport of security first, and it sported security second. Uh, 1739 01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:44,920 Speaker 1: it's economic freedom. Uh, it's patriotism, It's red, white and blue. 1740 01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:46,599 Speaker 1: That's what we're about, and that's the kind of value 1741 01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:49,720 Speaker 1: I want to bring to Congress. I feel like you 1742 01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:51,880 Speaker 1: can bring up the border security issue, by the way, 1743 01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:55,880 Speaker 1: and I've been chasing down some some connections between the 1744 01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:59,599 Speaker 1: surgeon and opioid deaths in this overdoses in this country, 1745 01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:03,480 Speaker 1: and also the rising power in Mexico of the cartels, 1746 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:05,800 Speaker 1: which seems to me to be a story that's not 1747 01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:08,720 Speaker 1: getting nearly enough attention. A big part of that is 1748 01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:12,240 Speaker 1: that the border, even when there may be illegal alien 1749 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:16,240 Speaker 1: crossings at at a downward tilts for a while, the 1750 01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:20,280 Speaker 1: border is still very much open to enterprising drug traffickers 1751 01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:23,720 Speaker 1: who have tremendous resources and a whole lot of economic 1752 01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:27,040 Speaker 1: reason to get across. Yeah, that's exactly right, And you 1753 01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:29,439 Speaker 1: really bring up a good point about how that might 1754 01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,000 Speaker 1: affect our opioid crisis that is really becoming a national 1755 01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:36,760 Speaker 1: security threat. We're losing people constantly to that all over 1756 01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:39,400 Speaker 1: the country. We were that that's something that I would, 1757 01:41:39,479 --> 01:41:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, I would support some kind of federal action 1758 01:41:41,120 --> 01:41:43,800 Speaker 1: and funding for m to combat that. And part of 1759 01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:46,719 Speaker 1: that is border security. Uh, you know, we probably probably 1760 01:41:46,720 --> 01:41:48,599 Speaker 1: do see a good deal of that drug trait coming 1761 01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:51,040 Speaker 1: from the southern border. It's also there's a lot of 1762 01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,840 Speaker 1: reasons there's an opioid crisis. It's it's over prescription. It's 1763 01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:57,160 Speaker 1: over prescribing these these drugs. It's it's bad pharmacies and 1764 01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,200 Speaker 1: corrupt pharmacies that are dealing them out. Um, can be down. 1765 01:42:00,400 --> 01:42:03,920 Speaker 1: That is huge. But you know, making sure our border 1766 01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:07,320 Speaker 1: is safe and secure is just so important to Texans. 1767 01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,959 Speaker 1: Were on the front lines. We we we would appreciate 1768 01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:13,240 Speaker 1: the rest of the country understood that. Um. We know 1769 01:42:13,240 --> 01:42:15,240 Speaker 1: when you when you hear rhetoric from the Democrats coming 1770 01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:18,400 Speaker 1: out of Joe Kennedy from Massachusetts, you know, I get 1771 01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:21,639 Speaker 1: it different up in Massachusetts. I know. I lived there, 1772 01:42:21,640 --> 01:42:23,240 Speaker 1: I went to I did, I went to Harvard. I 1773 01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:27,280 Speaker 1: get it. But we're in Texas. Were on the front lines. Um, 1774 01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:30,960 Speaker 1: we need we need to secure the border. We see, 1775 01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:34,040 Speaker 1: we see how porce it is, we see those kind 1776 01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:35,840 Speaker 1: of those raute lines that you're talking about from the 1777 01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:38,200 Speaker 1: drug trade. It's only a matter of time too. And 1778 01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:39,639 Speaker 1: one thing we need to be thinking about. There's really 1779 01:42:39,680 --> 01:42:43,080 Speaker 1: ungoverned territories on the other side.

See I'm 1812 01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:23,560 Speaker 1: I'm I'm back on my game today in terms of 1813 01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:26,760 Speaker 1: not getting things confused and in the head quite the 1814 01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:28,439 Speaker 1: same way as I did yesterday. We gotta some roll 1815 01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:31,000 Speaker 1: call and hear from all of you. All right, everybody 1816 01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:33,080 Speaker 1: gets the end of the show.

It's time for roll call. 1819 01:44:43,080 --> 01:44:46,519 Speaker 1: It is indeed. All right, let's see what we got 1820 01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,000 Speaker 1: up first. This is always a little risky, by the way. 1821 01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,080 Speaker 1: Sometimes I start reading stuff and I'm like, oh, I 1822 01:44:51,280 --> 01:44:56,439 Speaker 1: can't read that on the radio. So hopefully, hopefully we 1823 01:44:56,479 --> 01:44:58,759 Speaker 1: won't have any of that today, although that can happen 1824 01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:01,280 Speaker 1: for sure. Hey, you know, I gotta keep it spicy. 1825 01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,080 Speaker 1: You gotta keep you on your toes out there and 1826 01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:07,200 Speaker 1: radio listening land. Speaking of spicy, Miss Molly said that 1827 01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:08,960 Speaker 1: she thinks that we should have a cook off because 1828 01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm getting a little big from my breeches with my 1829 01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:15,439 Speaker 1: culinary skills, talking a big game about my ribbi searing 1830 01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,519 Speaker 1: and various other escapades in the kitchen. And I'm like, honey, 1831 01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:22,160 Speaker 1: we're on the same team. We don't do opposing teams. 1832 01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:23,880 Speaker 1: I'll let you know. I'll be the sioux chef. You 1833 01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:25,680 Speaker 1: get to run the kitchen. That's the way we'll do this. 1834 01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,640 Speaker 1: But she's she's got quite it when she puts her 1835 01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:30,280 Speaker 1: mind to it. She's actually quite a good hand in 1836 01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,280 Speaker 1: the kitchen. Um, I'm not gonna say that. I don't 1837 01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:38,080 Speaker 1: you know. One day I will do my version of eggs. 1838 01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:40,960 Speaker 1: I'll a buck and I will show you all, maybe 1839 01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:43,120 Speaker 1: on a Facebook live video, just how to make the 1840 01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:44,840 Speaker 1: best scrambled eggs there are. I mean, there are a 1841 01:45:44,920 --> 01:45:48,720 Speaker 1: few key tips I really should show you because the 1842 01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:50,320 Speaker 1: problem I have now there is anywhere I go and 1843 01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:52,800 Speaker 1: I order scrambled eggs. I'm like, hey, these are okay 1844 01:45:53,400 --> 01:45:57,880 Speaker 1: technically speaking, technically these are scrambled eggs, but they're also 1845 01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:01,840 Speaker 1: not as good as my scrambled eggs. I'm just saying, so, uh, 1846 01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:05,400 Speaker 1: let's get into some team Buck speaks. Here we get see, 1847 01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:08,439 Speaker 1: I just did it some roll call. Those novels that 1848 01:46:08,520 --> 01:46:10,760 Speaker 1: you were thinking about, this is from Alan, that were 1849 01:46:10,840 --> 01:46:14,760 Speaker 1: sold at grocery stores were called dime store novels back 1850 01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:16,720 Speaker 1: in the day. That's where you would find it was 1851 01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:19,120 Speaker 1: Nickel and dimes stores, and they were considered to be 1852 01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:22,759 Speaker 1: trash books for women. Yes, yes, Alan, that is correct, 1853 01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:25,840 Speaker 1: dime store novels. That is what I'm talking about. You know, 1854 01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:29,080 Speaker 1: the historical piece that it's always you know, her husband, 1855 01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,920 Speaker 1: you know, her husband left for the war, and then 1856 01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:36,600 Speaker 1: like the handsome guy comes through town, and then the 1857 01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:39,320 Speaker 1: husband returns from war, and then you know, the passion 1858 01:46:39,400 --> 01:46:42,640 Speaker 1: and the drama all that stuff. Um not that I 1859 01:46:42,720 --> 01:46:45,680 Speaker 1: didn't read them, I'm just I saw the covers of them. Sometimes. 1860 01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:49,920 Speaker 1: All right, here we go, uh, Ilsa writes in Buck. 1861 01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:51,599 Speaker 1: I never know if it does any good to send 1862 01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:54,280 Speaker 1: you messages here. Well, Elsa, you're getting your message read 1863 01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,960 Speaker 1: on the nationally broadcast radio show. But I don't know 1864 01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:00,240 Speaker 1: how else to get your attention. I don't remember remember 1865 01:47:00,240 --> 01:47:02,960 Speaker 1: how I reached you when I was actually getting you too. 1866 01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:07,200 Speaker 1: Right back about my husband's escape from communist Yugoslavia. But 1867 01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:11,559 Speaker 1: my concern today is with the Judicial Watch report. Another 1868 01:47:11,680 --> 01:47:14,839 Speaker 1: friend shared with me that was about the GOP flying 1869 01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:18,839 Speaker 1: DOCTA recipients to different areas on commercial flights of the country. 1870 01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:21,559 Speaker 1: What do you know about this? Several people are now 1871 01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:23,920 Speaker 1: saying that they will not vote for Republicans again with 1872 01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:26,400 Speaker 1: this report. It's true, ILSA, I will tell you I 1873 01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:29,160 Speaker 1: don't know much about it. Let me look into it, 1874 01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:32,040 Speaker 1: and if it's true, and if it's happening, I will 1875 01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:36,120 Speaker 1: come back to you with a with some analysis on it. 1876 01:47:36,200 --> 01:47:38,400 Speaker 1: But for right now, I just I don't know what 1877 01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:43,400 Speaker 1: the specifics are of the incident or the situation that 1878 01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:47,360 Speaker 1: you are citing, So I will take a a rain 1879 01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:51,599 Speaker 1: check on the question. If that's okay for now? Uh see, 1880 01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:55,320 Speaker 1: Oh here we go. Michael writes in man, your trade 1881 01:47:55,360 --> 01:48:00,120 Speaker 1: gaudy was the worst. You've done some real stinkers, but 1882 01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:03,719 Speaker 1: that one takes the cake. Hillary is still the best. 1883 01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:06,000 Speaker 1: What happened is still the best. Okay, Michael, thank you. 1884 01:48:06,120 --> 01:48:09,000 Speaker 1: I agree that Hillary is still the best, but you 1885 01:48:09,080 --> 01:48:11,920 Speaker 1: really the trade gutties your excuse me? Sure, or you're 1886 01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:15,439 Speaker 1: gonna answer to the question or not. No, you're in 1887 01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:18,639 Speaker 1: my courtroom. Sure. Really, it doesn't sound at all I trade. 1888 01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:22,240 Speaker 1: Come on, come on, I think it's a little bit. 1889 01:48:22,280 --> 01:48:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't think it's the worst. I think I've definitely 1890 01:48:24,120 --> 01:48:27,040 Speaker 1: done worst. I've done worse ones. I had to stop 1891 01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:29,840 Speaker 1: doing al Gore because my al Gore needed to be 1892 01:48:30,040 --> 01:48:32,960 Speaker 1: better than it was and it didn't sound enough like 1893 01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:34,519 Speaker 1: al Core. So I gotta work on my al Gore, 1894 01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,320 Speaker 1: Jessica writes in Hey Buck. And also, though al Gore 1895 01:48:38,439 --> 01:48:40,280 Speaker 1: is not really famous these days or he's not talked 1896 01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:42,040 Speaker 1: about the media, so maybe I don't have to work 1897 01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:44,680 Speaker 1: on my al Gore. You're all like, yeah, that's a 1898 01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:47,720 Speaker 1: way better plan, Jessica. With the next one, Hey Buck, 1899 01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:50,920 Speaker 1: I've been listening to Shields High podcast. But to be honest, 1900 01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:53,839 Speaker 1: I'm a person that learns better by reading literature myself. 1901 01:48:54,560 --> 01:48:56,360 Speaker 1: Is this all from a book that I can get 1902 01:48:56,439 --> 01:49:01,280 Speaker 1: my hands on? Uh? Well, Jessica, not really. It's my 1903 01:49:02,360 --> 01:49:06,439 Speaker 1: stream of consciousness about the different historical periods and and 1904 01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:09,280 Speaker 1: incidents that I'm talking to you about. I can give 1905 01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:13,000 Speaker 1: you some books to read that touch on the subject matter, 1906 01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:15,240 Speaker 1: and I could put that maybe up on Facebook as 1907 01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:17,280 Speaker 1: a response to you and everyone else can see it 1908 01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:22,320 Speaker 1: as well. I am very uh well, I'm I'm very 1909 01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:25,519 Speaker 1: fond of some of the works of Roger Crowley. He 1910 01:49:25,640 --> 01:49:29,479 Speaker 1: wrote a book on called Empire of the Seas, which 1911 01:49:29,560 --> 01:49:32,400 Speaker 1: was very good about the Ottoman advance across the Mediterranean. 1912 01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:35,280 Speaker 1: He also wrote a book called fourteen fifty three specifically 1913 01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:38,280 Speaker 1: about the fall of Constantinople. That's very good. A lot 1914 01:49:38,360 --> 01:49:45,800 Speaker 1: of my Crusades reading is actually a compilation of contemporary chroniclers, 1915 01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:50,120 Speaker 1: so that's more like a compendium of sources, you know, Folkler, 1916 01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:54,080 Speaker 1: of of Shart and uh other different other, other different, 1917 01:49:54,360 --> 01:49:57,519 Speaker 1: other people that were writing about it from the time period. 1918 01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,560 Speaker 1: So I don't have a book for you, but I 1919 01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:03,760 Speaker 1: can tell you that there are books that go into it. 1920 01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:07,720 Speaker 1: And the first two shows were scripted, and then in 1921 01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:10,400 Speaker 1: response to comments from all of you after that, I said, 1922 01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:11,800 Speaker 1: all right, I'm not gonna be a script anymore. I'm 1923 01:50:11,840 --> 01:50:13,800 Speaker 1: just gonna kind of go and talk about it. And 1924 01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:16,080 Speaker 1: that seems to be working pretty well. Some of you 1925 01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,160 Speaker 1: seem to think that's a more stylistically, that's a better choice. 1926 01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:23,400 Speaker 1: So that's where we've been doing the Shields High. Let's 1927 01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:29,080 Speaker 1: see we get next. Um william writes the milk carton, 1928 01:50:29,120 --> 01:50:31,519 Speaker 1: the milk in cartons and all the cocoa packages I 1929 01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:34,120 Speaker 1: could get from m R. E. S. I mixed those 1930 01:50:34,200 --> 01:50:38,240 Speaker 1: with the coffee packs three years in Iraq. I love 1931 01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:40,400 Speaker 1: your Shields High episodes, but I understand the research and 1932 01:50:40,479 --> 01:50:42,800 Speaker 1: hard work. Maybe you should quit the podcast and make 1933 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:46,960 Speaker 1: some nat GEO type TV episodes. Dream big, Buck, William William, 1934 01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:48,640 Speaker 1: I would love to do that. Maybe somebody should just 1935 01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:52,000 Speaker 1: come along and, you know, fund my my project. I 1936 01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:56,479 Speaker 1: mean the I think that a a TV series on 1937 01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:59,439 Speaker 1: La Panto would be really awesome, and I've said that before. 1938 01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:02,680 Speaker 1: Malta would be really cool too, because it it does 1939 01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:04,720 Speaker 1: it actually be a good movie. I think it would 1940 01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:09,720 Speaker 1: be a good movie in the epic cinematic genre. But 1941 01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:14,120 Speaker 1: it probably costs a lot of money, so uh, Damnian. 1942 01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:19,439 Speaker 1: Next up on roll call, Buck, have you ever thought 1943 01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:22,479 Speaker 1: about live streaming the show on a platform like YouTube 1944 01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:25,200 Speaker 1: or Facebook Live? As always, thanks to your service to 1945 01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:28,280 Speaker 1: our country and Shields High, Damian, Yes, We've thought about it, 1946 01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:32,240 Speaker 1: and yes, we are going to put something together where 1947 01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:34,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna be live streaming at some point in the 1948 01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:37,840 Speaker 1: future a portion of the radio show, if not all 1949 01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:42,000 Speaker 1: of the radio show. So the answer your question is, yes, 1950 01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:44,920 Speaker 1: we don't have it up yet. Facebook Live would be 1951 01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:46,800 Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I kind of like the idea though, 1952 01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:48,880 Speaker 1: of having something that's up on buck sex and dot 1953 01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,960 Speaker 1: com that's specific to the team, And I'd like to 1954 01:51:52,040 --> 01:51:54,960 Speaker 1: get away from relying on some of these third party 1955 01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:59,920 Speaker 1: social media platforms because I'm I'm losing faith in truck 1956 01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:02,439 Speaker 1: Us that they're well, I'm losing faith that they can 1957 01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:08,280 Speaker 1: be trusted. How about that? Uh next up here? Um, Tyler? 1958 01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:10,760 Speaker 1: Oh no, Tyler, we did that one yesterday. See I 1959 01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:14,639 Speaker 1: I I remember uh Doug Wright said, hey Buck while 1960 01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:17,280 Speaker 1: watching an old favorite. This scene stood out as a 1961 01:52:17,320 --> 01:52:20,640 Speaker 1: sum total of what we see from the Democrats resistance 1962 01:52:20,840 --> 01:52:25,200 Speaker 1: mindset for the past year. Oh it's Monty Python, She's 1963 01:52:25,200 --> 01:52:27,600 Speaker 1: a witch. I know that sketch. That's I kind of 1964 01:52:27,680 --> 01:52:31,000 Speaker 1: remember that one. I think. Uh, let's see who's next 1965 01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:33,720 Speaker 1: up on the list. Michelle says Trey Gaudy said from 1966 01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:35,639 Speaker 1: the start that he only spent x number of years 1967 01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,400 Speaker 1: in office. I don't believe there's any more to it 1968 01:52:38,479 --> 01:52:42,640 Speaker 1: than that. Uh, shields high. Well, Michelle, you may very 1969 01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:44,960 Speaker 1: well be right. Uh, I don't you know. I don't know. 1970 01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:48,400 Speaker 1: And while I do, it apparently not a particularly accurate 1971 01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:52,120 Speaker 1: impression of Trey Goudy. It is with It is a 1972 01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:54,880 Speaker 1: an impression done with fondness. I think that he's or 1973 01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,960 Speaker 1: not fondness. I don't know him, but you know, respectfully, 1974 01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,800 Speaker 1: i'm laughing with Trey. I'm not laughing at Trey, but 1975 01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:03,960 Speaker 1: I do think he'd be a very interesting pick for 1976 01:53:04,120 --> 01:53:07,519 Speaker 1: an administration. He certainly has the background, he's got the chops, 1977 01:53:07,680 --> 01:53:12,680 Speaker 1: as they say, to take a senior administration post. By 1978 01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:15,240 Speaker 1: the way, don't let me forget producer Mike that we 1979 01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:18,320 Speaker 1: need to get some of the emails going from official 1980 01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:20,640 Speaker 1: team buck at gmail dot com. I don't want to 1981 01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:23,760 Speaker 1: just be on the Facebook here, speaking of letting these 1982 01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:29,000 Speaker 1: platforms dominate everything that we're doing, which is increasingly the 1983 01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:31,599 Speaker 1: case all the time. Now. He got all this Facebook stuff, 1984 01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:34,280 Speaker 1: and I keep looking into I keep seeing these articles 1985 01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:37,400 Speaker 1: where they're saying, you know, there, it's like rewiring our brains, 1986 01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:39,800 Speaker 1: and yeah, it needs to we need to take of 1987 01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:42,680 Speaker 1: social media like TV. You wouldn't watch TV and three 1988 01:53:42,760 --> 01:53:45,400 Speaker 1: minute increments all day long. And that's the way you 1989 01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:47,160 Speaker 1: should a little bit of social media and then put 1990 01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:48,760 Speaker 1: it down, right, a little bit of social media and 1991 01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:53,439 Speaker 1: then put it down. Not a constant. Uh, it's like 1992 01:53:53,479 --> 01:53:57,800 Speaker 1: a slow rolling binge of just social media all the time, Ken, 1993 01:53:57,960 --> 01:53:59,960 Speaker 1: next one here, Buck. The whole issue is not about 1994 01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:03,439 Speaker 1: Trump being president. It's about Hillary not being president. Any 1995 01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:06,240 Speaker 1: other Republican candidate would have seen in the same position, 1996 01:54:06,320 --> 01:54:08,080 Speaker 1: and the fires of warrant would have been against their 1997 01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:12,439 Speaker 1: campaign manager. Your thoughts, Oh, you know, Ken, I don't 1998 01:54:12,479 --> 01:54:15,200 Speaker 1: think so, because I mean, look, I can't prove that 1999 01:54:15,280 --> 01:54:17,439 Speaker 1: you're wrong, because we don't know. We can't prove a 2000 01:54:17,479 --> 01:54:20,679 Speaker 1: negative here, can't go back and change history. But because 2001 01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:23,000 Speaker 1: of some of the associates that Trump had around him, 2002 01:54:23,560 --> 01:54:25,240 Speaker 1: I think that there's a case to be made that 2003 01:54:25,439 --> 01:54:29,000 Speaker 1: there was greater susceptibility because of manaforts and the like 2004 01:54:29,280 --> 01:54:35,160 Speaker 1: to the kinds of discretionary abuses at FBI and d 2005 01:54:35,240 --> 01:54:37,800 Speaker 1: o J. And I just realized we're closing up the 2006 01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:41,320 Speaker 1: shop here at the Freedom Hut for today. Freestyle Friday 2007 01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:43,200 Speaker 1: is tomorrow. Shields High
