1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: You are entering the freedom hunt. Tonight is the night

2
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: we find out if President Trump is declaring a state

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: of emergency at the border, what his plan is for

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: the wall and to finally bring some security to our

5
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: southern border. We'll talk about that and all of the

6
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: latest coming up on the buck Sexton Show. This is

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: the buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission is

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no

9
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: mistake American, You're a great American Again. The buck Sexton

10
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Show begins as this idea that they need five billion

11
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: five to seven, which they haven't even sent us a

12
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: plan for until yesterday. We're looking at it now, is unrealistic.

13
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: We want the symbol of America to stay as the

14
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: statue of liberty, not a big concrete wall. The President

15
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: is announced that he's going to address the country tomorrow

16
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: night on the so called crisis of the border. I

17
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: expect the president to lie to the American people. Why

18
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: do we expect this because he has been lying to

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: the American people, and it spokespeople continue lying to the

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: American people. There is no security crisis at the border.

21
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: The only emergency at the border is a humanitarian emergency.

22
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Caused by this war on children. The president has no

23
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: authority to usurp congressional authority of the purse. Congress must

24
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: appropriate funds. He cannot simply take funds appropriate for other

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: purposes to build a wall because he declares the national emergency.

26
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: And we would certainly oppose any attempt by the President

27
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: to make himself a king and a tyrant by saying

28
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: that he can approach create money without Congress. That is

29
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: perhaps the most dangerous thing he is talking about since

30
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 1: he became president. Lies, lies, falsehoods, half truths, miss truths.

31
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: The Democrats are thrown that everything in the kitchen sink

32
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: at the wall, at Trump. They're doing everything in their power,

33
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: anything in their power and beyond it to try and

34
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: stop Trump from securing our southern border. Welcome to the

35
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show, my friends. It is go time here.

36
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Democrats are starting to lose this argument. They have been

37
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: very self assured, very smug, and of course sanctimonious, because

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: we are talking about Democrats. They've assumed along that the

39
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: old rules about shutdowns would apply, that the media would rally,

40
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: like the little lackeys they are, to the Demo krat's

41
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: side and make sure that the blame, such as it is,

42
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: goes to Republicans. The American people turn on their members

43
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: of Congress for not opening the government in a timely fashion,

44
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: Republicans cave, Democrats win, and the border in this case

45
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: would not get secure. Doesn't look like that's necessarily going

46
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: to be the case, now, does it. We have heard

47
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: just to take a step back, because the border has

48
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: been the single most important news story in the country

49
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: for the last six months, with the only real exception

50
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: being that period when the Kavanaugh nomination took over, and

51
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: we got right in the middle of that fight here

52
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: on the show, as you know, and thankfully good prevailed

53
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: over evil in that one. And I'm not sure that

54
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: the right side is going to win in this border battle,

55
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: but we're getting close. But I wanted to take a

56
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: step back from what's going to be discussed tonight is

57
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: presidential address. It's going to happen at nine o'clock Eastern,

58
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: as you know, it would be right right after we

59
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: finish this show, so I can't I can't assess the

60
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: address for you in over the course of this show,

61
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: but certainly we'll talk about it tomorrow. But I wanted

62
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: to give a context for what's coming tonight, because there's

63
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: definitely going to be a pitch from the Presidence of

64
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: the United States about why this wall needs to be built.

65
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: The context, though, is that the Democrats and the left

66
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: have no credibility on any issues relating to immigration whatsoever.

67
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 1: They have lied and lied and lied. They said that

68
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: the caravan was never going to reach our southern border.

69
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: They said that there were that there were no criminals

70
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: in the caravan. They said that the wall would not work.

71
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: They say that walls have never worked. They say that

72
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: there's no problem with our current asylum system. It's not

73
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: being abused. People aren't lying, they don't have they're not

74
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: using loopholes. There isn't a lack of interior enforcement at

75
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: every stage of our immigration process right now involving our

76
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: southern border where there's any concern or conflict whatsoever. The

77
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Democrats tactic is to lie about it and then attack

78
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: the other side, and the biggest one right now. And

79
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: this just requires gall I mean, this is nuts. Is

80
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: they're saying, and we came in with this, that there's

81
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: no crisis at the border. There's no crisis. They are

82
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: willing just as they have redefined an illegal alien to

83
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: be a quote undocumented immigrant. They're willing to redefine the

84
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: word crisis to be effectively meaningless. What is it that

85
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: you would call a situation where laws are being broken

86
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: on a daily basis to the tune of thousands, tens

87
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: of thousands over the course of a month, hundreds of

88
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: thousands over the course of a year. What is it

89
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: you would call a circumstance that allows for the violation

90
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: on a daily basis in thousands of cases of US sovereignty.

91
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: What would democrats call a situation where hundreds, perhaps thousands

92
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: of women on a monthly basis are sexually assaulted. What

93
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: would democrats call a situation in which drugs are pouring

94
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: across the border at rates that are terrifying even to

95
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: longstanding veteran members of border patrol. The cartels are more

96
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: powerful in Mexico right now than they have been in

97
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: recent memory. There's an argument to be made they're more

98
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: violent than they have ever been, and there's an argument

99
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: to be made that they are more powerful than they

100
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: have ever been. They're just not going toe to toe

101
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: with the government in quite the same fashion as they

102
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: have in the past. But more to the point, for

103
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: all of us. The cartels are now the primary source

104
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: of the poison, the opioids that are pouring in to

105
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: cities and towns across the United States that are killing

106
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: over seventy thousand of our fellow Americans every year. In fact,

107
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: that cartels, as I have told you, are creating pills

108
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: to look like pharmaceutical pills so that they can sell

109
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: them more easily on the street because the da and

110
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: have slapped down doctors for overprescribing opioids, probably too much,

111
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: so I mean, they're probably people that are a lot

112
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: of pain now because they can't get the opioids. And

113
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: to fill that need, because you have a lot of

114
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: addicts out there to fill that need, the cartels have

115
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: swooped in. This has been going on for years, but

116
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: it's more true now than ever before. If it's not

117
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: a crisis, when you have tens of thousands of Americans

118
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: dying from illegal poison that is overwhelmingly coming from one place,

119
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: what is it? What is the definition of a crisis?

120
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: Then you know why they don't want that to be

121
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: the word that is used. Because the president has the

122
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: authority to act if it is a crisis, He has

123
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: the authority in statute. Democrats are running out of room

124
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: with their lies. They do not want to secure the border.

125
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: It's a joke. All they want to do is more

126
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: are expeditiously processed those who arrive with overwhelmingly false claims

127
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: or preproduced claims, fabricated claims of imminent violence against them,

128
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: when in reality they just want access into the United States.

129
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: They want to skip the rest of the millions of

130
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: people who are trying to get into the country legally,

131
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: and they don't care that their first act on US

132
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: soil is fraudulent, the very act of being here and

133
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: the premises under which they have entered the country are fraudulent.

134
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: Democrats have no interest in stopping this, and I think finally,

135
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: the American people are figuring this out. We do not

136
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: believe these claims that they also want border security. They

137
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: also believe that this is a problem. I mean, they're

138
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: saying it's not a crisis. We've had thousands of people

139
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: parked at one of our ports of entry or one

140
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: of our border sectors, trying to overrun border patrol and

141
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: throwing rocks at them. If that is not a crisis,

142
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: I need them to explain to me what is and

143
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: when you add on to this the massive hypocrisy of

144
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: Democrats who themselves all summer when it came to the

145
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: issue of family separation. Oh my gosh, why would they

146
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: do this? Why are they separating you families that choke

147
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: with the border from their children. This is they were

148
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: saying that was a crisis, but everything else that's going

149
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: on to the border they're claiming is not. I mean,

150
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: they when it suits their needs, the news cycle, they

151
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: think plays into their hands. Then they throw the term

152
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: crisis around with reckless abandon the moment that the usage

153
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: of the word crisis opens up an opportunity for the

154
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: President of the United States to address the crisis, to

155
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: do something about the crisis, they change their minds. Isn't

156
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: that convenient? Isn't that a situation that if you are

157
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: a cynical observer of what Pelosi and Schumer and the

158
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: rest of the Democrat gang wanted, you would think, Oh,

159
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I would have expected. You know, you've

160
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: got the truth here is that this is a political

161
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: fight for the Democrats, has nothing to do with border

162
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: security or national security. Democrats are in a panic because

163
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: they know that if Trump follows through on this promise.

164
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: It will be a symbol for everything else that he

165
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: has promised. And they have been telling us all along.

166
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: It will never happen. Trump won't. It's a joke. In fact,

167
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: you're a rube, you're foolish, you're a clown. If you

168
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: believed President Trump when he said he was going to

169
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: build a wall, that you were unsophisticated and you're thinking

170
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: about politics. That's what the Democrats and the media, but

171
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: I repeat myself have been saying now for two years.

172
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: They have already had to lick their wounds when it

173
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: came to trying to take down this president, with all

174
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: their negative stories, all their personal attacks, all of their

175
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: hysteria over collusion, over the twenty fifth Amendment. Trump is

176
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: a racist, you know, whatever it is. They've thrown everything

177
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: they have a Trump. They haven't been able to take

178
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: him down. And they thought they'd be able to. They

179
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: really believe it they'd be able to derail this presidency.

180
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: And not only have they been incapable of derailing the presidency.

181
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Now we stand on the precipice of the president achieving

182
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: a political breakthrough. Hasn't happened yet, and we will see,

183
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: but at least we are in the fight here, and

184
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: Trump is leading the charge to get a political breakthrough

185
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: that would not only change what's going on in our

186
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: southern border and give us some hope of finally achieving

187
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: control over who comes and who doesn't across our southern border.

188
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: The entire narrative about Trump as some kind of a

189
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: fraud who is fooling the gullible would be untenable. I mean,

190
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: there would be betty in the media who would try

191
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: to stick to it, but they would be the laughing stock.

192
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: There'd be no way around it. They've been telling us

193
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: all this time, for two years. The wall's never going

194
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: to happen, and you're if you think it will, you're

195
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: an idiot. In fact, if you think Trump's even going

196
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: to try and get a wall, you're an idiot. Well,

197
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: it looks like he's trying now, doesn't it. And if

198
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: he manages to push this through, libs will lose their minds.

199
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: This is a tense moment in politics. There are a

200
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: lot of people who for them this is an issue

201
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: of their own personal credibility, their professional future. A lot

202
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: of journalists, members of congress activist organizations. They have built

203
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: up this entire store of lies around the border and

204
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: the whole thing just could come crashing down. It's going

205
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: to be interesting, and I hope the President tonight gives

206
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: us all he's got because the time is now. Some

207
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: more of the details of what's going on at the border.

208
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna have also, my friend Annie McCarthy, I told

209
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: him tonight, Andy, we're really going to need you to

210
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: break down a legality here of whether they can or

211
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: cannot build this border wall. But then I meaning whether

212
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: the President has the authority also under the law, and

213
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: then we'll talk to him about this arrest of an

214
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: indictment of I should say indictment, not arrest, pardon me,

215
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: indictment of Vessel Nitskaya, who is at the Trump Tower

216
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: meeting this Russian lawyer that was getting some attention today.

217
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: And you will help us break that down. We'll have

218
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: White House correspondent from Daily Caller joining with the latest

219
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: about what we can expect tonight in that address, and

220
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: we have much more show coming. Oh and free healthcare

221
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: for illegals in New York City. What a surprise, that's

222
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: all coming up. Stay with me, team, Well, this is

223
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: a very serious situation. President Obama called it a humanitarian

224
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: crisis when twenty fourteen, when we saw tens of thousands

225
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: unaccompanied children coming across the border exploiting gaps in our

226
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: immigration law. But you know, this is an entirely contrived

227
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: and phony crisis right now, and by that I mean

228
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: the political crisis here in Washington where Miss Pelosi and

229
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: Senator Schumer simply want to beat President Trump. They want

230
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: to deny him what he's asking for, and they want

231
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: the political benefit among their base for having done so.

232
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: I think we can improve the security of our southern border,

233
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: deal with the flow of heroin and other illegal drugs,

234
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: human trafficking, and migrant movement across the border illegally, which

235
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: was creating this crisis at the border. You know, he

236
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: mentioned there, that was a Senator Cornyn, and he mentioned

237
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: drugs the border and what's going on there. I actually

238
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: have some stats here about the twenty seventeen to twenty

239
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: eighteen narcotics situation at our southern border. There has been

240
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: in terms of seizures and this is over the last year. Okay,

241
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: this is what's going on now. A twenty two sent

242
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: increase in heroin sees, a thirty eight percent increase in

243
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: meth amphetamine ceased and a seventy three percent increase in fentanyl.

244
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: These are the drugs that are heroin and fentanyl particularly

245
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: are the ones that are killing so many of our

246
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: fellow Americans. They're coming across the southern border. In fact,

247
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: methamphetamine prices have dropped considerably meth right now speaking to

248
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: a law enforcement contact about this recently, meth is more

249
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: pure and cheaper on US streets when they're finding it

250
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: then I think it at any time, the price of

251
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: meth is plummeted, and the cartels are just trying to

252
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: keep the markets open somewhat that meth amphetamine has almost

253
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: become a loss leader for cartels, meaning that they're they're

254
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: trying to keep their supply relationships going and they're making

255
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: their money their illegal drug trade money on the fentyel

256
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: and the heroine, and they're thrown in meth as kind

257
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: of a sweetener of sorts, because so much of the

258
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: drug trade now is focused on these opioids, because they're

259
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: so powerful, so potent, and the market is large for them.

260
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: This is a crisis. People are dying. They're dying because

261
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: we do not have a secure southern border. This stuff.

262
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: If it were so easy to get illegal fentael on

263
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: the streets of America. If it was so easy to

264
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: get a doctor to prescribe it, the cartels wouldn't be

265
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: making billions of dollars doing it illegally. We'll talk more

266
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: about the expectations for the president's speech tonight, and of

267
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: course the already prepped medium backlashed against it. Coming up.

268
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: He's holding the line or America, buck Sexton his back

269
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: taking a republic for a political leader to try to

270
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: seize power by the declaration of an emergency on made

271
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: up facts, and you can look through history for the

272
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: other autocrats, the other fascists, the other dictators who have

273
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: tried to do and have in fact declared such things.

274
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: It's disturbing. Steve Schman talk about the weakness, that its

275
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: an idiot. How about that we're done with We're done

276
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: with him, We're done with him. I just want to

277
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: know that this is what passes for expert commentary on MSNBC.

278
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Say they are the fascist and the you know, the

279
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: bad people and the stuff and the Hitler idiocy, idiocy,

280
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: not even intelligent criticism of the president from a so

281
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: called so called I don't even know if he I

282
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: think he's now a Democrat. I don't know. He might

283
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: as well be a Democrat if he's not. That's the

284
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: guy who ran McCain's presidential campaign. By the way, he

285
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: says a lot, doesn't it. You know, this is something

286
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: I've been talking to a lot of people in DC

287
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: about in recent weeks, because I've I've had my more

288
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: than my fill of having to hear from you know,

289
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: whenever you turn on the TV or you're you know,

290
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: looking in different editorials, different papers, these never Trump Republicans.

291
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: When are they going to wake up? I'm not saying

292
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: they have to defend everything Trump does. I'm not saying

293
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: anybody has to defend everything Trump does. I don't. I

294
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: don't like some of the things that Trump has said

295
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: and done. I don't agree with Trump on certain things.

296
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: That's fine, but you got to pick a side, you know,

297
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: you're on you're on one team on these issues that

298
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: you're on the other team. And I just I can't

299
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: help but notice that with a lot of these people,

300
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: it's really they pretend that it's all about the republic,

301
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, they pretend that they're all concerned with how

302
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: Trump is using this declaration of emergency to seize power

303
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, and the constitution you're shredding it,

304
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: when really they're just upset and in many cases bitter

305
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: and envious of people that have been elevated because Trump

306
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: has won. Trump has won the election, and his people,

307
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: the people that are around him are not the standard

308
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: GOP operatives. You have to remember that a lot of

309
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: these voices you're hearing from the GOP establishment dynasties, from

310
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: the McCain camp, from the Romney camp, from the Bush camp,

311
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: the ones that are all such such principled critics of

312
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: the administration, the ones that have a blinding hatred for Trump.

313
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: What they really hate is that they're not important anymore.

314
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: What they really hate is that many of these GOP

315
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: operatives and talking heads and consultants thought that they had

316
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: paid their dues and it was their turn, and in

317
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: the Trump era they're shut out. And so what they're

318
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: presenting to you and Schmidt is certainly in this category.

319
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: There are many others as well, where they're presenting to

320
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: you as principled criticism and opposition is really, I want

321
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: the toys, and I don't have the toys, so I

322
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: hate everybody. That's the tantrum that these anti Trumpers in

323
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: the GOP are engaged in. So I am perfectly willing

324
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: to hear from honest critics of the president. And as

325
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: you know, I'm still on very good terms with some

326
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: pretty well known critics of the president within the GOP,

327
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: over at National Review and other places. And but you know,

328
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: they call balls and strikes. They say the president did this, well,

329
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: the President didn't do that. Well. I don't like the

330
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: president personally. I like the president's policies. That's that is

331
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: a principal position. And President Trump be the fascist, the hitler,

332
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: and that's an idiot position. And the fact that they

333
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: give airtime to people so they can say things like

334
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: that tells you all you need to know about the

335
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: journalistic ethics or really the lack thereof at these major networks.

336
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: They are disgracing themselves. But I don't think they have

337
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: any integrity to protect. And when you have no integrity

338
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: to protect, you have endless options. So I guess there's

339
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: that upside on this issue of the border and the

340
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: possibility of a state of emergency declared so President Trump

341
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 1: can start building this wall. Don't you think that if

342
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: it were really about the effectiveness of the wall or

343
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: the cost of the wall, and those two things go

344
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: hand in hand, don't they. You know, if the wall

345
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: is expensive and ineffective, it makes it even more of

346
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: a political liability. But if it were about that, why

347
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: such outrage about him starting this What they say is true,

348
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: these phrases, you know, things people say, Oh, you give

349
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: me a ten foot wall, I'll give you an eleven

350
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: foot ladder. This is not These are not positions that

351
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: have been thought out. These are slogans. This is trying

352
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: to tap into a mob mentality to overcome a rational

353
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: response to what is obviously an incredible problem we have,

354
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: which has led to twenty million illegal aliens in the

355
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: country at a minimum. That's the other issue that they've

356
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: been lying to you about forever. You know, the more

357
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: information we get about the board and about immigration, the

358
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: more clear it is that there has been a by

359
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: partisan effort to hide the reality of our southern border

360
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: from the American people. And I've even read wonky analysis

361
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 1: by national security geostrategists who say that this notion that

362
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: the that the immigration that we are in undergoing right now,

363
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: if you took out of this the domestic politics and

364
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: the identity politics and all of the toxic racializing of

365
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: the issue that the Democrats do to make it sound

366
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: like this is really just about keeping America white. They

367
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: say things like that publicly, they claim things like that

368
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: on TV. Take that out from from this discussion for

369
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: a moment and look at what's what has been going

370
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: on and is going on at our border. Any other

371
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: country would consider it a crisis. Any other country would

372
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: be doing everything in its power to stop this from continuing.

373
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: And from a geostrategic position, if you were to analyze this,

374
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 1: you'd say, hold on a second. Not only do you

375
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: have a mass of illegal, illegal intrusions into a country

376
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: that are changing the body politic of the country and

377
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: question that are that are reshaping its politics and having

378
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: a profound impact on its culture. It's for a country

379
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: that is contiguous with that country, which historically leads to

380
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: real instability and leads to outcomes that you know, we

381
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: don't even want to consider right now, but you know,

382
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: political instability that can have long lasting ramifications. It's different

383
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: when you have tens of millions of people from one

384
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: country come to another country of a different culture, speaking

385
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: generally a different language. When that country next door also

386
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: has a history of having previously controlled owned that land.

387
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: You know, there's this concept of irridentism, the idea that

388
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: a country will want back the land that it previously had.

389
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: There used to be groups that would talk a bit

390
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: about this, also the ray Konquista, which was also a

391
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: historical reference to the expulsion of the Muslim conquerors of Spain,

392
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,239
Speaker 1: which finally was successful in fourteen ninety two. And some

393
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: of you have probably seen the movie El sid and

394
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: you know how all that stuff went. But there is

395
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: a difference between people coming from an ocean away and

396
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: settling in America and a country on our border that

397
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: does not really respect the border and has a tremendous

398
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: amount of We want to talk about foreign influence in elections,

399
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: You want to talk about what the political implications are

400
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: of having a foreign country having dispersed so many of

401
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: its own people into another country. You know, no one

402
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: ever thinks about this when you're talking about our southern border,

403
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: or not saying, nobody but you. And if you want

404
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: to see what I'm talking about, there's a book by

405
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: Kaplan called The Revenge of Geography where he talks about

406
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: how geography it's it's essentially an academic explanation of how

407
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: geography is death. And he says, what's going on with

408
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: Mexico and the United States is not standard nation to

409
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: nation relationship here. And it's not standard immigration either. People

410
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: coming back and forth, you people paying remittances. You have

411
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: whole communities forming that are contiguous with the southern border

412
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: that still have a tremendous affinity and connection to both

413
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 1: legally and culturally to their home country. This is not

414
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: a recipe for unity and success long term in this country.

415
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: To allow this to continue. The number is now twenty million.

416
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: What are we going to wait till it's thirty million? Wait?

417
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: Over time it'll be forty million. And they're aligned to

418
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: you about the numbers. Not only they aligned to you

419
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: about the numbers, but they also don't want to have

420
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: more accurate numbers to present you with because if the

421
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: American people really knew what was going on, they would

422
00:28:53,480 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: be completely outraged, and the Pelosi Schumer wing or the

423
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: Democrat Party wouldn't have a leg to stand on anymore.

424
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they would have to just go open borders,

425
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: which I would note I don't think that's an unthinkable

426
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: position for them. Let me just take you back to this.

427
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: You will recall that when Obama was pushing Obamacare, and

428
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: I was right in the middle of that debate, I

429
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: was just getting going in conservative media. I was at

430
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: the blaze people like me, among many many other conservatives.

431
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I was some kind of a visionary.

432
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 1: Here we were saying, this is a this is a

433
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: pathway to to single payer? Is this is this is

434
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: just meant to be a bridge to single payer? And

435
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: they were saying, ah, no, this is just the Massachusetts

436
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: plan that Mitt Romney came up with. This is actually

437
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: a conservative plan, this is a Heritage Foundation plan. We're

438
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: not going to use this as a bridge. And here

439
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: we are o'cazeo, Cortez, Warren, whoever. The Democrat of the

440
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: moment is what are they talking about Medicare for all,

441
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: which is single payer? So what six years ago they

442
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: were telling us was a slander against Democrats is now

443
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: their policy. If we can't stop them now and build

444
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: a border wall, I assure you it is well within

445
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: the range of possibility that within six years, perhaps sooner

446
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: than six years, especially if you have a Democrat president

447
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: coming to twenty twenty, you will have a mass amnesty.

448
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: That's not that's the first thing they're gonna do, a

449
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: mass amnesty, and you will have an effort to have

450
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: a comprehensive immigration reform that will not only have the amnesty,

451
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: but will also do everything short of completely erasing our

452
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: southern border. People can come and go as they please,

453
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: come back and forth. You know. All they're all they're

454
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: gonna want to do is tax productive activity in this

455
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: country as long as they can find you when you're

456
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 1: here to tax you. If you make enough to be taxed,

457
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: which most illegals don't, then that's all fine. That's what

458
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna want. It'll be the closest thing to open

459
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: borders of any country in the world. And some of

460
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: my well intentioned but I think slightly delusional libertarian friends

461
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: will say, oh, this will just make us richer and

462
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: better off. Really, I'd like to see the evidence for that,

463
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: and don't just point through we'll have a bigger GDP. Yeah,

464
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: I know, that's like saying we'll have more more bodies

465
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: in a room. Great, what are they doing there? But

466
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: it's it's go time. The president knows it's go time.

467
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: This issue has to be resolved and he should. He

468
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: should declare a state of emergency in tonight. If he doesn't.

469
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: If he doesn't do it, I think he's missing a

470
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: huge opportunity. And more importantly, I think he's missing what

471
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: needs to be done for the country. And I have

472
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: not heard any compelling, any compelling reason for him not

473
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: to do it, not a single one. You know, you

474
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: have to remember that too, when when you hear the detractors,

475
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: when you hear people who are opposed to this for

476
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: some reason, there's always there's all this different stuff that

477
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: they they throw at you, and when you deal with

478
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: them one by one, you realize this is all flimsy.

479
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: It's not that much money. It does work. Congress has

480
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: voted for this on a bipartisan basis in the past.

481
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: It isn't his power to declare an emergency. We do

482
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: have the technical know how to build a barrier. So

483
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: what really is the opposition to this? Don't let Trump win,

484
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: That's all it is. Don't let Trump get his way.

485
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: If he gets his way on this, the Trump movement

486
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: is actualized, it is delivering, it is successful, it will

487
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: have momentum. Ultimately, what this really is about for Pelosi

488
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: and Schumer as they know if Trump gets this wall,

489
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: he's going to win in twenty twenty, They're going to

490
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: have Trump for another four years. What do you think

491
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: they're willing to do to prevent that? What lengths or

492
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: Democrats willing to go to to stop that from happening. Well,

493
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: you're starting to see it. We've got more. Stay with me.

494
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected,

495
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed

496
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country.

497
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: The jobs stay home might otherwise be held by citizens

498
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: or legal immigrants. The public service they use imposed burdens

499
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: on our taxpayers. Oh my gosh, that Bill Clinton is

500
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: such a racist. How could he be such a racist?

501
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: You know who else said stuff about how legal immigration

502
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: was bad, Barack Obama? You know who well said stuff

503
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: about how legal immigration is a cost both economically and

504
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: socially in our country. Hillary Clinton. We can play audio

505
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: of all these different people, Chuck Schumer. Illegal immigration was

506
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: bad until a couple of years ago. Maybe you know,

507
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: you go to the second half of the Obama administration,

508
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: when all of a sudden they were trying to get

509
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: comprehensive immigration reformed through and then we realize, oh, wait

510
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: a second, they aren't really opposed to this. They like

511
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: this because it gives them power, because it plays into

512
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 1: the identity politics and the state dependence that Democrats need

513
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: in order to achieve power. So we're not playing on

514
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 1: the same We're not playing on team Border Patrol. They're

515
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: playing on team Open Borders. And we've realized this. But

516
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: just like the way that Americans who are paying attention

517
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: to know the mainstream media is dishonest, the mainstream media

518
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: is still pretends it's not. People have figured out a

519
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: lot of them that the Democrats are dishonest, but doesn't

520
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: mean everybody's figured it out when it comes to immigration. Certainly,

521
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: mister Snoop Dogg himself has not figured it out. He's

522
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: rather upset about what Trump is doing on the government

523
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: shut down. Let us let us hear from mister Snoop

524
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: play all you people for the federal government that got

525
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,439
Speaker 1: getting not getting paid right now, ain't no win the world.

526
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: Y'all can vote for Donald Trump when he come back

527
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: up again, if it is, if y'all do vote for him,

528
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: y'all some stupid mother. I'm saying that to y'all early

529
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: all you federal government people, that's not being paid, that's

530
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: being treated unfairly right now, not being paid. That's so terrible.

531
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: And this pump mother, I don't care. So I'm saying

532
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: that to say this. When Dick get back on and

533
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,320
Speaker 1: y'all get your jobs back and it's time to vote,

534
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: don't vote for that. Please, don't look what you do.

535
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: He just don't give a y'all honest, blue collar, hard

536
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,959
Speaker 1: working people and suffering. So if he don't care about y'all,

537
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: you really don't give a about us, So for him too.

538
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: Funk everybody down with Donald Trump? I said, he yeah,

539
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg Kim people shut the government down. Piece. I

540
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: think we have a I think we have a Democrat

541
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty candidate, folks. I think he's I think he's

542
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: ready for Iowa. You know, if they're okay with their

543
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: congress congresswoman speaking about Trump that way, why not have

544
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg in the mix. Although if he ran, I'm

545
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: sure a lot of a lot of million, tensi millions

546
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: Democrats would vote for him. So there's that. Andy McCarthy's

566
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: and there will be litigation. These are moments in our

567
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: country where the beauty of the design of our democracy

568
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: is being tested. And if you think about our democracy

569
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: of the Republicans being a tabletop standing on four legs,

570
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: there are three independent, coequal branches of government and a

571
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: free and independent press. And so what is happening over

572
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: and over again in the last two years is those

573
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: other branches of government and the courts and the press

574
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: will put the checks and balances on the outrageous conduct

575
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: of this administration. If clares an emergency, I think that

576
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: we will see again the checks and balances kick in,

577
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: in particulars through the courts. Lawsuits are a coming, not

578
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: a surprise, I think, But how will those shake out?

579
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: Does the president have the authority to declare a state

580
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: of emergency and build a wall? Is he, in fact

581
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 1: the commander in chief who can do that? We have

582
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: with us now, the one and only Andy McCarthy, writer

583
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: for National Review, Fox News contributor, former federal prosecutor. Andy.

584
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: Great to have you back. Happy new year, Block, Happy

585
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: new year. Great to be here. All right. So we

586
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: don't know as we go to air here whether the

587
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: President will in fact a clary state of emergency tonight.

588
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: But let's because because it doesn't have to be tonight, right,

589
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really If he does well, then he

590
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: has He could also declare state of emergency in a

591
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 1: week or a month, assuming the situation, the borders the same,

592
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: and the president decides to what in your mind happens

593
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 1: Andy if he goes that route, how does this play out?

594
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: We know this much. One's going to file lawsuit over it. Yeah. Well,

595
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: I have mixed feelings about this book, just because I

596
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: think it's it's really bad policy. I thought this when

597
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 1: Obama did it. You know, one classic example with Obama,

598
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: everybody thinks about his own immigration pronouncements, right, which were

599
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: completely unsupported by statutory law and we're undertaken. Even though

600
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't relying on a statute that talked about declaring

601
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: an emergency. He basically said that there was an emergency

602
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: because Congress wouldn't do what he wanted it to do,

603
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: so he just did it. And the press didn't seem

604
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: to whipped up about that, but they're obviously always whipped

605
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: up about Trump. I think it's bad policy for the

606
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: president to do this sort of thing. You know, the

607
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: way our governing framework is supposed to work, we really

608
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: don't have three co equal branches. Of government. Congress is

609
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be the article one branch. They're supp is

610
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: to be the ones making policy. It hasn't really been

611
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: that way since the Progressive error. But that's not the

612
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: way it's supposed to be, or the way it's supposed

613
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: to be is that Congress writes the laws and the

614
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: president carries them out. And the other thing that's interesting

615
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: Herebuck is he does have, undoubtedly I think, statutory authority

616
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: to do this, and those the statutes, which these kinds

617
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:31,320
Speaker 1: of statutes are strewn throughout the federal Code. One of

618
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: the things I don't like about them is this is

619
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 1: the way that Congress abdicates it's duty that we elect

620
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: them to carry out. So they, you know, they take

621
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: a bunch of their legislative authority and they delegate it

622
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 1: to the administrative state agencies. And then they take another

623
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: bunch of their authority and they delegate it to the president,

624
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: and then they go on cable TV and complain that

625
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: they don't like the way things are. But in the meantime,

626
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: they don't do the job that we sent them there

627
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: for the other thing that's interesting about this book is

628
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: the statutes allow him to declare a state of emergency

629
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: and even allow him to reallocate or reprogram funds Defense

630
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: Department funds. If he finds that it's a you know,

631
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: it's a national emergency that requires the military, he can

632
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: he the statutes say he can do this. There is

633
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: nothing in the statutes that allows or calls for the

634
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: court to be able to review this. The Congress has

635
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: basically left us up to the president's judgment. But I

636
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: think two things are interesting. One is, if there is

637
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: an emergency on the border, it's caused by Congress's laws

638
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: and you know, basically court decisions or litigation that the

639
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: Justice Department was involved in. But the situation that we

640
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: have with this new dominant class of asylum seekers who

641
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: come to US, which are now predominantly families with children

642
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: as opposed to know these are families with children from

643
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: Central America rather than working age men from Mexico. So

644
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: the demographic of the population that wants to come in

645
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: has changed. Our law has not kept up with it.

646
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: So it's it's basically overwhelmed our ability to deal with

647
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: it administratively. But basically Trump would be invoking a statute

648
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: to address an emergency that's been caused by statutes. Now, Andy,

649
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: a lot of very important stuff that you on their

650
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: courtesy of mister McCarthy, But one thing really struck struck

651
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: me as as yours being there, which is that this

652
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: this idea that you're telling me that the president probably

653
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: does have the authority and it may not even be

654
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: reviewed by courts. Is that is that right? Yeah? Well,

655
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Buck, there's that's a big deal, and

656
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: there's yeah, well, there's what should happen, and there's what

657
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: does happen. So we have a number of these laws

658
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: that give the president sweeping authority to deal with crises,

659
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: and most of these laws allow the president to decide

660
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: whether there's a crisis or not unilaterally, and they don't

661
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: allow for court review of that. The statutes basically say,

662
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 1: if the president, in his judgment decides X, then we

663
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: have to assume X, and then he can do the

664
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: following things which are in the nature of legislation. Which

665
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: is why I object to this. And it's correct for

666
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: a number of my friends who are illegal analysts to

667
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: say that should be judicially unreviewable because the statute doesn't

668
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: allow for judicial reviews. But what I keep saying back

669
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: down here on planet Earth, where President Obama in eight

670
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: years put three hundred and forty judges on the federal bench,

671
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: many of whom are progressive activists. The fact that statutes

672
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: don't allow for judicial review has not to this point

673
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: prevented them from engaging in judicial review, right, you know, so,

674
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that the fact that either the statutes

675
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: say what they say or pass president indicates that the

676
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: president has this kind of sweeping authority is going to

677
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: back up a progressive activist who's been put on you know,

678
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 1: the federal district court someplace. And what we've seen again

679
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: and again and again is that these judges are willing

680
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: not only to block the president but try to impose

681
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: their orders as if they were national hamstrings on the

682
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,760
Speaker 1: president rather than you know, something that just affected that district.

683
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: How would you assess your your certainty? We're speaking to

684
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: Annie McCarthy, everybody of National Review and Fox News contributor,

685
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: h Annie, how would you address assess your and address

686
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: your your certainty about whether the president fundamentally has the

687
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: power to do this? I mean, is this a is

688
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 1: this a clear call? Is this a gray area issue?

689
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: Because you're hearing people say he just flatly can't, right,

690
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: But they're Democrats. Yeah, of course, right, I say, yeah,

691
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: this is why this if this question is hard buck.

692
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: If we were just dealing with the four corners of

693
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: the statue, um, I'd say he absolutely has the authority.

694
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have any I wouldn't have any hesitant. And

695
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: what is the applicable statute? You know, I had it

696
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 1: in front of me a second ago, and I should

697
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: have known you were going to ask me that question. Ah,

698
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: here it is. It's it's a section twenty two ninety

699
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 1: three of Title thirty three of the US Code, which

700
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: basically empowers the president to declare a national emergency and

701
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: to reprogram funds to construct civil defense project if the

702
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: president deems that they're essential to national defense. So the

703
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: statute says, if the president decides that there is a

704
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: national emergency, and you know, it enables him to do

705
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: various things, including reallocate funds. So that's what the statute says.

706
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: But when you have these these progressive analysts who are

707
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: saying he absolutely doesn't have the authority, what they are

708
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 1: assuming is something that doesn't that the statute doesn't say.

709
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: But they may well turn out to be right about

710
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: which is that some judge is going to look at that,

711
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: and the Justice Department's going to say, there's nothing in

712
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: this statute, your honor, that gives you the authority to

713
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: review the president's decision. And the judge is going to say,

714
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't see anything in here that tells me I can't,

715
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: and then we're off to the races. So right, see,

716
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: But this is also really important. I think that very

717
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: few people, because it hasn't come up much in the

718
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: discussion the news coverage of this, would know that this

719
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: isn't an implied you know, a lot of time with

720
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: presidential authority, you get into implied power or you know,

721
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: under his role as commander in chief or in his

722
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 1: executive role, we assume, or we have in the past,

723
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 1: you know, said there's the discretion here, And of course

724
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: that's why we have Andy McCarthy in the show. He's

725
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: actually got the statute right in front of him. You're

726
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: telling me that, no, it is explicitly the law that

727
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: he can do this, and I think people need to

728
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: hear that and know that. Buck let me let me

729
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 1: read you the first two lines of the statute. In

730
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: the event of a declaration of war or a declaration

731
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: by the president of a national emergency in accordance with

732
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: the national emergency factism. That's a whole another statute that

733
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: deals with when the president declares national emergencies that requires

734
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: or may require the use of the armed forces. So

735
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: what the statute explicitly says is in a situation where

736
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: the president has declared that there's a national emergency that

737
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: requires the armed forces, there's nothing in that statute that

738
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 1: says a judge has the authority to second guess the

739
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: commander in chief who we've elected on the question whether

740
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: there is a national emergency that requires the use of

741
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: the armed forces. Now, I don't agree that Congress should

742
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: be giving the president these kinds of sweeping powers. I

743
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: would prefer since we're not in the eighteenth century anymore,

744
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: and it's not hard for Congress to convene. I'd rather

745
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: we waited most of the time until there was an

746
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: actual emergency and let the Congress pass a statute that

747
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: tells the president what he can do. But this isn't

748
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: like the law according to Andy, this is federal law,

749
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: and the Congress has given the president this authority. That's

750
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,280
Speaker 1: really it's important stuff, and I'm glad I'm glad we're

751
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: helping get it out there. People should really know. And yes,

752
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: it will go into the courts real, real quick, ending

753
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: before we have to go into a break. If the court,

754
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: let's you know, the Ninth Circuit, if they enjoy this,

755
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: how long before we'll get an answer as to whether

756
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: the President is right? You know, it has to make

757
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: it most likely. I know that the courts after, you know,

758
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has to agree to take it. But

759
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: what's the timetable here? Well, Buck, I think that if

760
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: we go by the travel ban. The President put the

761
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: travel ban into effect in January twenty seventeen, right after

762
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: he got elected, and it ultimately was decided by the

763
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: Supreme Court I believe in June of twenty eighteen, so

764
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: about a year and a half. Now, that doesn't mean

765
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: that this is necessarily a model for everything else, but

766
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: I can I can tell people from experience federal judges

767
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 1: and courts in general, including appellate courts. You know, one

768
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 1: of the great things about our system is we expect

769
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: them to enforce the law because we don't put political

770
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: pressure on them. They're not accountable to voters. But that

771
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: always that also means that they marched to their own beat,

772
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: and they decide things when they're good and ready to

773
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: decide them. So we may think something's an emergency and

774
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,799
Speaker 1: it needs to be resolved right away, but you know,

775
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: the courts get around to things when they get around

776
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: to things. Andy, can we keep you here talking about

777
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: velni Sky for just a couple of minutes after the break? Yeah,

778
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 1: of course, sure. Guys. We got Annie McCarthy. We're gonna

779
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: talk about this latest tie into possibly the Mueller probe

780
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: or is it or isn't it? Or a southern district

781
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: what's going on? A lawyer with ties into this whole

782
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 1: Russia mess from the meeting at Trump Tower. She's gotten

783
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: herself indicted and he's gonna explain what it means coming up.

784
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: All right, we're back with Andie McCarthy here. Andy, So

785
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: we've gone over national emergency powers in the president. But

786
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: now tell me what is this about. Natalia Veselnitskaya, who

787
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: was the lawyer who sat down with Don Junior, Kushner

788
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 1: and Maniford and Trump Tower, also has ties to Fusion GPS,

789
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: by the way, and that whole Ary Hillary connection. What

790
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: do you make of this? She's been indicted for obstruction

791
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: by the Southern District. People are confused, but they know

792
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: there's something up. Yeah, well Buck. You know. This is

793
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: very interesting to me because over a year ago I

794
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 1: wrote a column about the curious case of Natalia vessel

795
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: Nitskaya and the connection there, aside from what we knew

796
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: about her in connection with the Don Junior and the

797
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: Trump Tower meeting, is the fact that she was in

798
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: the United States operating as a lawyer. And there was

799
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot of talk at the time that maybe the

800
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: Justice Department had set Don Junior up by letting her

801
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: come here to have this meeting. It turns out she's

802
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 1: come a couple of times and only once at the

803
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: behest of the Justice Department, and it wasn't that wasn't

804
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: the time that she had the Trump Tower meeting. But

805
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,320
Speaker 1: she shouldn't have been allowed to come to the United States.

806
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 1: This was my argument in the first place, because she's

807
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: not eligible to work as a lawyer here, and what

808
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: she said she wanted to do here was be a

809
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 1: lawyer for a Kremlin connected a big business guy from Russia,

810
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 1: the Katsis, who run a business called Prevazon Holdings that

811
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: was connected up with the murder and the distribution of

812
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 1: millions of dollars in fraudo and proceeds that was uncovered

813
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: by this guy, Sergei Magnitsky, who the Magnitsky Act is

814
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: named after. Yeah, I was not trying to implicate Catsi

815
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: in the murder. I don't know that there's any evidence

816
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: of that. But he was implicated and his business was

817
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: implicated in the distribution of the fraudjo proceeds, and the

818
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: Southern District did a money laundering civil forfeiture action to

819
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: try to claim about fourteen million dollars of the proceeds

820
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: from him, and she worked on the case to help

821
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 1: represent him. But she's not a lawyer in the United States.

822
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: She's not authorized to practice law here, and I think

823
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: the Southern District was pressured by the judge to allow

824
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 1: her to come into the United States for purposes of

825
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: the litigation. And as I pointed out in the piece

826
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,880
Speaker 1: I wrote over a year ago, you know, while she

827
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 1: was here, she really didn't too much of anything of value,

828
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: at least that the court of the government could detect

829
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: for purposes of the case. But she did build American

830
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: taxpayers a lot of money to stay in the plaza

831
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: and was the high life for a few weeks. So

832
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: why is she arrested, Well, she's now they're saying that

833
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: in connection with this representation that she really shouldn't have

834
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 1: been allowed to participate in because she's not again, she's

835
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 1: not eligible to be a lawyer. Here, she provided the

836
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: Southern District of New York with essentially false exculpatory evidence

837
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: about the connection of the catsives to the scheme and

838
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: whether the Russian government was involved at all in the

839
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: murder of Magnitsky. And as you may recall, Buck, one

840
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:34,479
Speaker 1: of the big things that she's pushed here is she's

841
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: been basically Putin's activist in the United States to try

842
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: to get Congress to repeal the Magnitsky Act. Putin hates

843
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 1: the Magnitsky Act because it allows the government to try

844
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: to attach millions of dollars that belongs to his cronies

845
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: and maybe part of his own personal fortune for all

846
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: I know. But one of his big pet peeves has

847
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: been to try to get this thing repealed, and she's

848
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: been his point person on that. And the way that

849
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: they this stick works is that you know, she basically

850
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 1: runs around and says it was Magnitsky and this guy,

851
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 1: Bill Browder, who with the real frauds who stole all

852
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: the money, and they've pinned the whole thing on the

853
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: poor Kremlin, and the Kremlin's innocent. That's her, you know,

854
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: that's the that's the thing that she pedals and he

855
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: hold that thought. We gotta we gotta hit a quick

856
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: commercial break and we come right back you we can

857
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: finish with what this means about the Muller probe. Everybody

858
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: stay with me, all right, Andy, Sorry, we you know,

859
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta keep the lights ons. We gotta

860
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: go to our commercial break there. But but just tell

861
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: me what. So we're talking about Vezelnitzkaya. She's the lawyer

862
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: at Trump Tower. Initially they say it's about adoptions. She's

863
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: there with Donald Trump Junior, with Jared Kushner, with Mana Ford.

864
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: You're saying she has been the prutent and the Kremlin's

865
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: point person in the US, effectively working as an agent

866
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: of influence for Russia, trying to get the Magnitsky Act

867
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,439
Speaker 1: for Peel. The Magnitsky Act name for Serage Magnitsky, which

868
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: we know about because of Bill know about a lot

869
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: of people know about it because of Bill Browder his

870
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: book read Notice where essentially there's a huge fraud, the

871
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: Russians try to steal a bunch of money, Magnitsky figured

872
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: it out, and they killed them in prison. It's used

873
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: to sanction bad people around the world. Now we find

874
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: out that she, meaning Vezlnitskaya, who was essentially playing what

875
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: playing the Southern District for fools, and so now they're

876
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: going to prosecute her for obstruction. Is that is that

877
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: pretty much where we are right now? Yeah, you've basically

878
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: nailed that she was involved in the case against prevason holding,

879
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: that the Southern District brought Prevason Holding is run by

880
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 1: the cats of Family, who are pals of Putins, and

881
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: she basically provided evidence that was exculpatory of them and

882
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: exculpatory of the Russian government in connection with the murder

883
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: of Magnitsky. And so does this have anything you know,

884
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: people reporting on them today. You know lawyer a lawyer

885
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: tied to Trump Tower meeting indicted and there was all this, Oh,

886
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: this sounds like Muller. But from what you're telling me,

887
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 1: this sounds like she just got into a jam. That

888
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: is that is truly unrelated at least with regard to

889
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: these charges to Russia collusion, Trump Tower meeting or any

890
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: of that stuff. Is that your reader or is there

891
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: another layer to this? Well, I think that is my

892
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: read book. But let's let's caveat this with what we've

893
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: experienced in connection with Cohen. Right, So, Michael Cohen was

894
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: also prosecuted by the Southern District for crimes that was

895
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 1: seemingly unrelated to Trump, and that led him to be basically,

896
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, squeezed and put him in a position where

897
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, Muller was able to get out of him

898
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: or the Southern District was able to get out of him. Um,

899
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: I guess Smaller also additional information over which she was prosecuted.

900
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: Remember Muller than pro secuted him for making false statements

901
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: in a transaction that shows that the Trump organization was

902
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: negotiating this Trump Tower in Moscow throughout twenty sixteen. They

903
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: didn't cut it off at the beginning of twenty sixteen,

904
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: as Trump had represented. So you know, if they have

905
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: her jammed up and they can acquire her presence, I

906
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: don't know if she's actually been arrested. I assume if

907
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 1: she's in Russia, we'll never see her again. But if

908
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: they can actually arrest her and get her to provide

909
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: information that could run down to the benefit of Mueller's

910
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: investigation if what we've seen in Cohen's case is any indication.

911
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: But we'll just have to wait it out and see

912
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: what happened. Andy MacArthur, everybody of Natural Review read his

913
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: latest there also look for him on Fox News and

914

Speaker 1: I know we went along there with Andy. He's one

919

Speaker 1: of he's one of the most knowledgeable, humble and nicest

920
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: guys in the business. You know, I can tell you

921
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: that Andy, and it's not just me who falls this category.

922
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: You know, if I have a question about something, I

923
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: can reach out to Andy, so because I never want

924
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: to you know, get ahead of my skis or or

925
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, mess up on a legal matter. You know,

926
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 1: I can go to Andy and he's alway. He's just

927
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: very generous with his time. He's a really good dude.

928
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: And you know, uh credit to Fox for for picking

929
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: him up and understanding how important his voice is in

930
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: the current, the current conversation about the entirety of our

931
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: justice system and what's really happening. But I had a

932
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 1: chance today on On Rising, and actually this was a

933
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: pre tape interview, so you're getting a little preview of

934
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: what's coming up tomorrow WOA, and we had we had

935
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: a phenomenal sit down with Grover Norquist. That guy is

936
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: a mean, lean tax analysis machine. We had a lot

937
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: of fun talking about taxes. Man. He gets into the

938
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: those taxes. But I talk to a woman who is

939
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: a long time judge in the immigration courts, and there's

940
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 1: some very important takeaways from that interview that you can

941
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: see on Hill Dot TV tomorrow. One of them is

942
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: that the court this idea that people are showing up

943
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: at our border and they just want their day in

944
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: court is preposterous. Okay, because the backlog it is being

945
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,960
Speaker 1: made worse. I'm just gonna say it's the backlog is

946
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: being made worse right now by the shutdown. So the

947
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: backlog is going up, and it's already eight hundred thousand cases,

948
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand cases. You have judges who are seeing

949
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: fifty or sixty immigration cases a day. I think about

950
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: how many hours in a day there, How can you

951
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: spend any real time? I mean, this is just this

952
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: is pro forma and you know, I asked, and there's

953
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: different categorization of what kind of individuals are coming before

954
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: them with an immigration system. But I said, you know

955
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: what is the you know, she was very clear, and look,

956
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: I could tell the judge leans a little leans a

957
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: little left. And I'm going to get into that in

958
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: a moment. When I said, you know, what is the

959
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: number of people who are no shows for their hearings?

960
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: You know what is that? What is the number of

961
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: people who just do not ever, you know, show up

962
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: when called? And she said, it's about ten percent of

963
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: immigrants don't show up for their hearings. Now, keep in mind,

964
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: if you miss your hearing date, you go to the

965
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: back of the line, which could mean you know more,

966
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, more years of waiting. And if you miss it,

967
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: for example, because of the government shutdown, if you miss

968
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: it through no fault of your own, if you miss

969
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: it and you're in default, I assume they or you know,

970
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: you're just a no show, whatever they call it. I

971
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: assume that they probably moved to removal proceedings. But then

972
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: they have to find you and you know, you got

973
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: eight hundred thousand people the immigration court system right now

974
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: who are trying to have their claims adjudicated, and you've

975
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: got I asked her how many unaccompanied miners and she

976
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: said this was anecdotal, so this was not an official statistic.

977
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: I said, how many unaccompanied miners are staying in the

978
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: country that you see, Meaning, if you show up at

979
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: the border, you're sixteen, seventeen years old, what's the chance

980
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: you get to stay in the country legally? Never mind

981
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: if you just stay because you're not going to be deported,

982
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: because you're not going to be deported. And she said

983
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: it's about forty percent, so getting pretty close to half.

984
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 1: And I can tell you this, half of them are

985
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: being waved in by immigration judges and the other half

986
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: are being told, well, you have to go home, but

987
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: we got to figure out how to do that, and

988
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: you're a low priority. So they're never going to get

989
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: deported and sent back to their families in their home

990
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 1: country where they're actually a citizen. So the immigration courts

991
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: themselves are a huge problem in this whole process. The

992
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 1: immigration courts have lots of these judges that have effectively

993
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: a more of the merrier attitude that's going on here.

994
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: You got to keep that in mind. Got a White

995
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 1: House correspondent joining us at a moment to give a

996
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 1: little preview what's coming up tonight. Vice President's basic point

997
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Democrats are ignoring a crisis and says the President really

998
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: is considering declaring a national emergency to go around Congress.

999
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: Your response, it's just not true. It's just simply not true.

1000
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: There was a bipartisan effort out of the United States

1001
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Senate and the United States Congress to pass a funding

1002
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:25,640
Speaker 1: of the government, and the President is holding it up

1003
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: because of his vanity project, which is this wall at

1004
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: taxpayers expense and at the expensive hundreds of thousands of

1005
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: workers who are working every day without being paid. So

1006
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 1: it's just simply not true. He's an emergency of his

1007
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: own creator. Is the President going to declare a national emergency?

1008
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: We're going to know here shortly after the show finishes up,

1009
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: but it looks very possible. We got somebody who can

1010
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 1: give us a bit of insight to the intrigue and

1011
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the backstory going on at the White House right now.

1012
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Amber Eighth is with us. She is the Daily Callers.

1013
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: White House correspondents she's with us. Amber, thanks so much

1014
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: for joining. Of course, thanks for having me Buck. All right,

1015
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: So what what did you hear from folks at the

1016
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: White House? First of all, I mean, is it clear

1017
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 1: that he is going to declare stat of emergency? Is

1018
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: this one of these things where he hasn't done it

1019
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,919
Speaker 1: yet but everybody, everybody who knows kind of knows he's

1020
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: going to. Yeah, it's not totally clear. My sources haven't

1021
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: indicated one way or the other whether he's going to

1022
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: the only thing that I've heard definitively is that this

1023
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: speech is going to make news, and that's happening tonight

1024
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: at nine o'clock. The reason I'm leaning towards him declaring

1025
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: the national emergency is because of all of his statements

1026
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: over the past week. He first brought this up, I

1027
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: think it was last Wednesday, and then he repeated it

1028
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: again later where he said he would see how the

1029
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: government shut down negotiations went over the next few days

1030
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: to determine whether or not he would declare a state

1031
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: of emergency. Based on the fact that the negotiations haven't

1032
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: progressed at all. The Democrats are still all bringing something

1033
01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: like one point six billion for the vague border security,

1034
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: whereas Trump of course wants five point seven for a wall,

1035
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 1: humanitarian aid, and a few other measures. The fact that

1036
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 1: there's still at that impast leads me to believe that

1037
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: the only way the president is going to get what

1038
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: he wants in terms of wall funding is to declare

1039
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 1: national emergency and bringing the military to build it. And

1040
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: so the the Democrats, their position right now is that

1041
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: there are they still they still have this one point

1042
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 1: whatever at one point seven billion, one point six billion

1043
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,440
Speaker 1: that's on the table. But that's all that's on the table,

1044
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: right right, And that's not for a wall. That's the

1045
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: important distinction. That's not, you know, meeting the president sort

1046
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: of close to halfway for wall funding. They're talking about

1047
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 1: a much more vague version of border security, and what

1048
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: they're mainly referring to there is technology like sensors and cameras,

1049
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: what some people might refer to as a virtual wall,

1050
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: but it in no way includes flats or concrete walls

1051
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 1: or any kind of actual physical barrier on the border,

1052
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: which is really going to be a non starter for

1053
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: the president. And I would also note that this is

1054
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: not reported by other folks as much. I'm sure you've

1055
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 1: been on this one amber that the president as part

1056
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: of what he's asked for the border, there's emergency humanitarian

1057
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: funding essentially, more beds, more doctors, more judges, more lawyers, more,

1058
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: more of everything to deal with the border. But Democrats

1059
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 1: don't talk about any of that either. They're just like, Oh,

1060
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: he just wants his wall, that's all he wants. Meanwhile,

1061
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: I think that they're starting to lose this argument that

1062
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: the wall doesn't work, and enough people who are senior

1063
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: in border patrol down through the ranks of just season

1064
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 1: border patrol agents see and have seen recently at at

1065
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: the San Diego San Ya Cedro border crossing, that it

1066
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 1: does in fact work. So I think that line has

1067
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 1: been tough. I think the it's too much money when

1068
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: you're talking but Democrats is kind of laughable. So really

1069
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: this gets boiled down to it's just about political opposition

1070
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 1: to Trump more than anything else. That's exactly what it is.

1071
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: Because this wall wasn't something that Trump just dreamed up

1072
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. You could make the argument that perhaps

1073
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: the idea of a concrete wall all the way across

1074
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: the border wasn't realistic, but the wall is something that

1075
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: border patrol agents have been asking for and they've specifically

1076
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:30,439
Speaker 1: asked for the latest sort of what Trump calls the wall,

1077
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: which is the steel slaps, because they want something that

1078
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: see through so that they can see threats coming on

1079
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: the other side of the border. An important aspect of this,

1080
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: and this is something that came out yesterday, as if

1081
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: the President does decide to declare a state of emergency,

1082
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: he would face a congressional challenge. They can pass a

1083
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: joint resolution nullifying the state of emergency. But yesterday the

1084
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: White House said that the one point of agreement between

1085
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: Democrats and Republicans was that there is in fact to

1086
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: crisis at the border. So it's going to be difficult

1087
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: to convince, especially the Republican led Senate, to vote against

1088
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: the president's state of emergency when Democrats have already admitted

1089
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: there's a crisis going on. Yeah. I've started off the

1090
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 1: show today talking about how this idea that there is

1091
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: no crisis at the border when all summer we were

1092
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: being told is because they wanted to run lots of

1093
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: footage of you know, babies crying, and you know, they've

1094
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,600
Speaker 1: been telling us there's a crisis all along. Now that

1095
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:33,600
Speaker 1: Trump is trying to address the crisis and use his

1096
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 1: powers which we've which have been established here. We've talked

1097
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: to Annie McCarthy, we'll be talking to Anthie McCarthy about this.

1098
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: Established the powers to do this, he has them under statute.

1099
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: There's no crisis line. I think it's desperate. I think

1100
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats are. They're running out of leeway. Well, especially

1101
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: when this was the same party that was trying to

1102
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 1: blame the president and blame border patrol agents for the

1103
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: death of two children on the border. But when you

1104
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: look into that, you find us actually policies that are

1105
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,439
Speaker 1: encouraging illegal immigration and encouraging families to try to cross

1106
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 1: the border. The family of the I believe he was

1107
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 1: eight years old, the eight year old boy who died,

1108
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,760
Speaker 1: maybe he was seven. His family admitted that they brought

1109
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 1: him to the border because they thought that he would

1110
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: have an easier time getting the family into the United States.

1111
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 1: So when you have policies that encourage things like that,

1112
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: you encourage parents to bring children on their truck across

1113
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 1: the border. There's no physical barrier there to stop them.

1114
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 1: They can claim asylum as soon as they get one

1115
01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: foot on US soil. Those are all things that need

1116
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,639
Speaker 1: to be addressed. I think the wall is one starting point.

1117
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: Broader immigration reform will be the next step. And I

1118
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: want to switch gears from moment we're speaking, we're speaking

1119
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,960
Speaker 1: to Amber athe over at the Daily Caller. She's the

1120
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: White House correspondent, so she's in the White House all

1121
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: the time and falling up with all these people. Jim

1122
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: Shujo from c Yeah, whom I've had. I've had my

1123
01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 1: own interactions with in person and in cyberspace. He had

1124
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: a little dispute today. Why don't you just tell us

1125
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: what happened. Yeah, so, Jim Shudo, he is a former

1126
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 1: Obama official. He's now a CNN anchor. Quite a transition.

1127
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 1: He has been claiming basically for the past year. This

1128
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 1: was just the most recent of many claims that Republicans

1129
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: were the first to fund the Steel dossier, which if

1130
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 1: you know the timeline of this, you know it's simply

1131
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: not true. The Washington Free Beacon, of course, paid for

1132
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: standard opposition research from Fusion GPS. Months later, after they

1133
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: stopped paying the DNC and Clinton, the Clinton campaign took

1134
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: up a new contract with Fusion GPS to compile this

1135
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: dossier about Trump's connections to Russia. They hired Christopher Steele

1136
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: to look into that. It was totally separate from anything

1137
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: that the Free Beacon was doing with Fusion GPS. It's

1138
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 1: pretty cut and dry. Shudo, of course, keeps claiming that

1139
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:56,679
Speaker 1: Republicans started the dossier. It's I guess it's some kind

1140
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: of way to absolve Democrats as creating this very much

1141
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 1: unverified document. He made the claim again today. I pointed

1142
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: it out on Twitter, and he refuses to address the

1143
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 1: fact that the claim is not accurate. Instead, he responds

1144
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:16,560
Speaker 1: in this condescending manner, quoting what he said from the transcript,

1145
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,520
Speaker 1: as if that somehow makes what he said any more factual.

1146
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: So I'm going to be on this. I'm still working

1147
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: reaching out the CNN and talking to people who know

1148
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 1: the dossier inside and out, just try to get a

1149
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: correction on this claim. But based on how long I've

1150
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: been pushing him on this, it seems more and more unlikely. Yeah,

1151
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,599
Speaker 1: well he is. He excels in smarm by the way

1152
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 1: he likes to Yeah, I will. I will tell you

1153
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: he's a smarmy fellow, and he's one of these people

1154
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,720
Speaker 1: also that that will occasionally do the reach out to

1155
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 1: me personally be like, you know, for your own good,

1156
01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 1: I think you should tone it down on X or Y,

1157
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: And I'm always like, for your own good, don't talk

1158
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,640
Speaker 1: to me clown show. So yeah, Well, one person responded

1159
01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: to him and said something like, sue her. She's defaming you,

1160
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: and I might try it. Sue me because I know

1161
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm right. Yeah, I know exactly. CNN fake news, unabashed, unabashedly,

1162
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: so they revel in it. They fake news is the

1163
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: water in which they swim, and the water is warm.

1164
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 1: One thing for you know, if everybody in the media

1165
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: gets things wrong, sometimes I get things wrong. I try

1166
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: to correct them and apologize when I make mistakes. This

1167
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: is just so intentional and it's repetitive that it's become

1168
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 1: delicious at this point. Yep. No interest in correcting the record.

1169
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 1: Absolutely the case. Well, I just wanted to get that

1170
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: on the record, Amber Athy, everybody of the Daily Caller,

1171
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Amber Gray work, come back talk to us soon. Thanks

1172
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 1: so much. Buck. You're probably familiar with AARP. You or

1173
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: someone you know might already be a member, But did

1174
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:54,560
Speaker 1: you know that the AARP is really a left wing organization.

1175
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: The AARP font tooth and nail for a government run

1176
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 1: healthcare system, and they stood again, ends tax cuts for

1177
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: middle class Americans. So forget about the AARP, but get

1178
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: all the benefits you get from the AIRP with a

1179
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: better organization. I recommend AMAC. Why AMAC? Will you see?

1180
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 1: AMAC is all about the things that you're all about,

1181
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:21,520
Speaker 1: border protection, limited government, limited taxation. It is the conservative

1182
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: alternative to the AAARP. And over one point five million

1183
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 1: Americans have already joined AMAC, and that number is growing.

1184
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 1: If you're a conservative, you're eligible and you want all

1185
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: the benefits of AARP without the liberal nonsense. Stand with

1186
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: AMAC as they fight the good fight by becoming a

1187
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 1: member today. The benefits are great, but the cause is

1188
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,360
Speaker 1: even greater. Tell your family, tell your friends, join us

1189
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: right now at AMAC dot us slash buck that's AMAC

1190
01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: dot us slash buck AMAC. Better for you, Better for America. Oh,

1191
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: the media pretends that they aren't a bunch of anti

1192
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Trump lunatics. We know this, right, We know the mainstream

1193
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: media is still clings desperately to this fiction that they're

1194
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: just they're just like reporters telling the truth, man, Like

1195
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 1: do you just speaking truth to power? They gain even

1196
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 1: know like we ever mean false? You could say fake news.

1197
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: They're lying, this is not true, and the ruse is

1198
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: wearing very thin. You know, this is not going to

1199
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: continue all that much longer. I think people have gotten

1200
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 1: too wise to this. You know, if you want liberal news,

1201
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: you should watch liberal news. If you want conservative news,

1202
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,600
Speaker 1: you should watch conservative news. Everybody's facts have to be

1203
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 1: accurate or else they have no credibility. The issue should

1204
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 1: not be about whether you know. To be objective is

1205
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 1: not the same thing as to be factual. That's where

1206
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: that's where the illusion lies here. To be objective is

1207
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 1: not really feasible in the news business because of all

1208
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 1: the decisions that are made around editorial and narrative. Right

1209
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: to be objective is not something that you can you

1210
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: can really say with a straight phase. For the most part,

1211
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:02,839
Speaker 1: there are some people that I think do a pretty

1212
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:07,440
Speaker 1: good job of presenting narratives that try to be objective

1213
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 1: the events happening in the new cycle, but very few

1214
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: that all said, CNN is not in that category, right,

1215
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: CNN is the hashtag resistance, and they're not even as

1216
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: good at being the resistance as MSNBC, So really they're

1217
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: the runner up resistance channel. How they're just even a

1218
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 1: little bit crazier. But there was quite an exchange caught

1219
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: today over at over at the White House on the

1220
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: White House lawn where for those of you who you

1221
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 1: catch it sometimes on TV, they have almost these little

1222
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: stalls set up with canopies over them where the different

1223
01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: reporters will do their hits at the White House. You know,

1224
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 1: it really is set up so you have the White

1225
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: House as the backdrop, and you have your White House reporters.

1226
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 1: They're set up. But I've been over there a bunch

1227
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: of times, and you you see people coming and going

1228
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 1: out there in the lawn, and sometimes you have a

1229
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,360
Speaker 1: little exchange with them. Right. Well, here's an exchange that

1230
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,720
Speaker 1: was a bit a bit spicier than the average one.

1231
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: This was Jim Acosta, Jim Shooko and miss Kelly and

1232
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: Conway getting into it. Play fifteen. Can you promise that

1233
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,840
Speaker 1: the president will tell the truth tonight? Will he tell

1234
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:19,400
Speaker 1: the truth? Yes? Jim? And can you promise that you will?

1235
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:21,679
Speaker 1: I will the whole ship and nothing about the truths

1236
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: to help you? God? Am I last mentioned God? Now? Well,

1237
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, Jim minutes to cheap make sure that goes viral. Okay,

1238
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 1: this is why, By the way, this is why I'm

1239
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:32,840
Speaker 1: one of the only people around here who even gives

1240
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,000
Speaker 1: you the time a day. Can you can you and

1241
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 1: let me leybe, just let me get back in your face,

1242
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 1: because you're such a smart ass most of the time,

1243
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:40,320
Speaker 1: and I know you want this to go viral. A

1244
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 1: lot of these people don't like you, But let me

1245
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,640
Speaker 1: just be respectful to the media bit large as I

1246
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: always am. I explained that that was alternative information, additional facts,

1247
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: and I explained it many times. And don't you put

1248
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: it back in my face. For all the corrections that

1249
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 1: your network needs to issue, I was on your network

1250
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 1: twenty five or twenty six times in twenty eighteen. I'm

1251
01:16:57,400 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: one of the last people here who even bother to

1252
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: go on. And the disrespect that you showed to me personally,

1253
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:11,759
Speaker 1: I'll just look pass. No, Jim Acosta is a smug schmuck.

1254
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: He just is. I mean, he should be an embarrassment

1255
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:20,719
Speaker 1: to CNN. Meanwhile, he's more valuable to CNN than ever before.

1256
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: What does that tell you about that network? Um? Why

1257
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 1: does he By the way, I think I thought Jim

1258
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:28,680
Speaker 1: Shuto was in that clip. I may I maybe it

1259
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: may have just been Jim Acosta a Shooto in there

1260
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: as well. Uh maybe not maybe not. No, he wasn't there.

1261
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: That wouldn't make sense. I'm sorry, I got, I got

1262
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 1: my Jim's pardon me, I retract. See, unlike CNN when

1263
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I'll say it. Jim Shuto wasn't there as well.

1264
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 1: It was just Jim Acosta. I got my gym's messed up.

1265
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: I got, I got Shooto on the mind because we're

1266
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,600
Speaker 1: talking to Amber about him before. But you know, Acosta

1267
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 1: is just act acting like a punk here. I mean,

1268
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: can you imagine for a moment the backlash that would

1269
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,640
Speaker 1: happen if you had a major network reporter or a

1270
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: multi millionaire network reporter who said, is President Obama going

1271
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: to tell the truth tonight? It's President Obama not going

1272
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,200
Speaker 1: to be a liar to night. That's not a question,

1273
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: that's an attack. We're not a bunch of infants. We

1274
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:19,000
Speaker 1: understand what shoot sorry, what Acosta is trying that they're interchangeable.

1275
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 1: Really what Acosta is trying to do here, and the

1276
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: fact that Kelly Anne stands her ground there and tears

1277
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: back into him is just great. You know, this is

1278
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 1: for all of the unfinished business of the Trump administration

1279
01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:35,599
Speaker 1: and there's a lot there's a lot of things that

1280
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 1: have not been accomplished yet. Although the wall is still

1281
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: a live issue. Man, he's you got to give the

1282
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:49,000
Speaker 1: president credit for fighting on this one. He's and taking

1283
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure. He's not backing down one inch.

1284
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 1: And I'm really looking forward to seeing to hearing and

1285
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 1: seeing what he has to say tonight on this issue.

1286
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:02,480
Speaker 1: But the fact of the matter is that their willingness,

1287
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: the the Trump Administration's willingness from Trump on down to

1288
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: fight back against the media is a you know, we

1289
01:19:12,680 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 1: often are told about, oh, you know, the standard that

1290
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: Trump set here or there that we're going to have

1291
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 1: to live with later. And sometimes that's true. You know,

1292
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: when when a Democrat comes along and you know, he's

1293
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 1: a guy who's you know, had seven wives and you know,

1294
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: has a has a fondness for, you know, spending time

1295
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 1: with exotic dancers, it's going to be tough for Republicans

1296
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: to say, well, that persons not of the character that

1297
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: we want in the White House. Right, so there are

1298
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: something some precedents that have been set here that aren't

1299
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:43,640
Speaker 1: going to be that easy for us to live with

1300
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,680
Speaker 1: or won't be great going down the line. But we

1301
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 1: make a judgment call about that, and the judgment is

1302
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: that overall, it is more valuable to have Trump pushing

1303
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: for his agenda and to have Trump in the White

1304
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: House than the backlash that we deal with, both from

1305
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: the media in a dated a sense and then down

1306
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:07,600
Speaker 1: the line in our inability without looking hypocritical, to criticize

1307
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: a future Democrat politician for some personal failings. But the

1308
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 1: fight against the media is I think I think this

1309
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: has changed the game. I don't think it's ever going

1310
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: to go back to the way that it was. I

1311
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:26,799
Speaker 1: think that Trump has has, you know, kicked the hornet's

1312
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: nest here in a good way, meaning that now we

1313
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 1: really see how they respond, how they react, and because

1314
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 1: of the Internet and because of our ability to draw

1315
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: upon these conversations down the line and know what the

1316
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 1: media was saying now, just like we know what they

1317
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: said about Obama. You know, Yes, Trump has played a

1318
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: very large role in exposing how left wing, how progressive,

1319
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 1: what a bunch of activists the mainstream media are. He's

1320
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: he's been essential in this process. It's really among immigration

1321
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 1: and him fighting in the media are my two favorite

1322
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,599
Speaker 1: things about Trump. The two best things about this presidency. Trade,

1323
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:07,680
Speaker 1: we'll see, you know, I don't know. We got to

1324
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 1: see how it works out with China. That's I'm on

1325
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: the fence on that one. But immigration and fighting back

1326
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: in the media, the President's been incredible. And then also

1327
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: our ability. Now I mean you, as as a listener

1328
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: to the show, know that we have access to what

1329
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,799
Speaker 1: the media was saying before in a way that twenty

1330
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: years ago we just didn't. So they could say, you know,

1331
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: they could pretend that they were just as hard on

1332
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 1: this president as they were on the last president and

1333
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: vice versa, based upon their short and petty political needs,

1334
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: whereas now we go, no, no, that's not what you

1335
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 1: You know, the last time this similar thing happened, this

1336
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,800
Speaker 1: is how you responded, you know, when Obama was I've

1337
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: got a part in a phone, I'm gonna talk action,

1338
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do things. When Obama was running around in

1339
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:58,679
Speaker 1: unconstitutional fashion, acting in authoritarian mode, the press was making

1340
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: excuses when up now with the national emergency that may

1341
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 1: be declared here pretty soon and just a matter of

1342
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: moments or a matter of hours, I should say, it

1343
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: depends on when you're listening to this, right could be

1344
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 1: the next day that's in his statutory authority. But they're

1345
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:20,640
Speaker 1: saying that he's being some crazy authoritarian with that, you know,

1346
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:23,719
Speaker 1: they say that he's way he's way out of line

1347
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: and on this issue. And I just have to say, well,

1348
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: hold on a second. I remember what the media was

1349
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: like when Obama was in power, and I remember what

1350
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 1: they're and now I see what they're like with Trump,

1351
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 1: and that really matters. And then you add to that

1352
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:40,040
Speaker 1: just how many journalists are tweeting and retweeting left wing

1353
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: activist propaganda and agit prop from the move on dot

1354
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:48,080
Speaker 1: orgs and the Daily Cos and the huff Post and

1355
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: all these just these giant piles of steamy liberal crap

1356
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,719
Speaker 1: lousiness on the internet, and and and then those journalists

1357
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: turned out to say, oh, no, I don't have an opinion.

1358
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm just, you know, just the facts, man, And I

1359
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think so. So I really

1360
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:06,719
Speaker 1: like that that Kelly Anne, you know, called out Jimmy Acosta.

1361
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: But the problem is that the more that Jimmy Acosta

1362
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 1: gets called out, the more his fans think that what

1363
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: he's doing is really journalism and support him, and the

1364
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:20,879
Speaker 1: more valuable he becomes in Zucker's war against against Trump.

1365
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 1: You know, I told you I have a friend who

1366
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: was there when Jeff Zucker and his assistant. She was

1367
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 1: on the phone and she said, if Trump wants to

1368
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 1: go to war with CNN, CNN's gonna go to war

1369
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: with Trump. That was during the election. That was during

1370
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:38,640
Speaker 1: the primary. I think memory serves it might have been

1371
01:23:38,720 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: during the general. I forget now, but I spoke to

1372
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,920
Speaker 1: a person who was there. So that's why when when

1373
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, uh, smug Tapper and clownish Acosta and and

1374
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: and bro Cuomo and the whole squad of overpaid mediocrities

1375
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 1: over there, when they get all high and mighty about

1376
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 1: how their journals, I'm like, you guys, are you guys

1377
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,840
Speaker 1: are just living in a big lie. You're just all

1378
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 1: part of a big falsehood. And people who are smart

1379
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 1: and paying attention have caught on. As you can tell

1380
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: IM there you have it. You can tell. That's something

1381
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,639
Speaker 1: that gets me a bit fired up. We have more

1382
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,719
Speaker 1: like you know what we could talk about about healthcare

1383
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:24,520
Speaker 1: for a moment here and the latest from my hometown.

1384
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: You know, I just I leave New York and things

1385
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: take a turn for the worse. I'm not saying it's

1386
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 1: because I'm not there, but I'm not saying it's not

1387
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: this guy, Deblasio, Kaiser, Phil Halm, Deblasio, Warren Wilhelm. Don't

1388
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 1: ever forget it. That was his name forever. He changed

1389
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: it in his twenties, because who's gonna vote for varn

1390
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 1: Phil Harem couldn't talk. Yeah, Hey, Billy Deblasio, he's promised

1391
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,479
Speaker 1: healthcare for all. Let's talk about it. From this moment

1392
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: on in New York City, everyone is guaranteed the right

1393
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 1: to healthcare. Everyone guaranteed the right to healthcare. That's right.

1394
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: They're saying that that's the mayor of New York City, who,

1395
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,639
Speaker 1: at least, I'm happy to say. You know, you never

1396
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: hear about him thinking he's going to run for president.

1397
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Are terrible governor in the state of New York. Nobody

1398
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: thinks I should run for president. But my name is Cuomo,

1399
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:31,640
Speaker 1: and therefore I assume that people will vote for me.

1400
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 1: And if I yell and look angry whenever I give

1401
01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: a public pronouncement, I assume that the fear that I

1402
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:44,360
Speaker 1: inspire in listeners will force them to vote for me.

1403
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: He thinks he's gonna run, de Blasio does not think

1404
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 1: he's going to run, at least from what I see

1405
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: so far. But he now is stepping into the national

1406
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:57,559
Speaker 1: healthcare discussion because I know it's for New York it's

1407
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: New York City only, but New York City has eight

1408
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: million people, and this is now going to be one

1409
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: of these experiments that we get to see how it functions,

1410
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 1: how does it work out. The superliberal mayor here saying

1411
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 1: that there's going to be a new plan, a new

1412
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:21,640
Speaker 1: plan in place where New York City is going to

1413
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:26,719
Speaker 1: make sure that six hundred thousand New Yorkers who don't

1414
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: have insurance will get insurance through Metro Plus, which is

1415
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: the city's public health insurance options. So essentially you're going

1416
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: to have a microcosm here of what a public option

1417
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: would look like, which you know, liberals love this idea.

1418
01:26:42,160 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 1: It's that, oh, i'll just have the I'll pay into

1419
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: a government insurance program, or more likely, the government's going

1420
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 1: to pay for my insurance in the government insurance program.

1421
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 1: And that's how they you know, that's how they plan

1422
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,600
Speaker 1: to sell this thing, and that's how they're going to

1423
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 1: do it. But he's also including illegal immigrants in this

1424
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: that's right now you're going to have a city that's

1425
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 1: saying we're going to take money from people who are

1426
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 1: paying taxes and we're going to use that money to

1427
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 1: give healthcare away to people who are illegals in the country.

1428
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,680
Speaker 1: And I just want to know before we there's so

1429
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 1: much here that's problematic. But what about somebody now who

1430
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: shows up from afford country and says that they want

1431
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 1: to have a million dollar heart operation in New York

1432
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 1: in New York City? Should the taxpayers pick that up?

1433
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,719
Speaker 1: So that should the people paying? Should my parents, should

1434
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: my siblings who live in New York City? Should they

1435
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:43,599
Speaker 1: all be picking up the tab for anyone from anywhere

1436
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: in the world who shows up and says I can't

1437
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: afford I can afford a plane ticket in New York,

1438
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 1: but I can't afford a heart transplant. By the way,

1439
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: heart transplant costs is about a million dollars. That's what

1440
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 1: it actually costs to do that. It might even be

1441
01:27:55,640 --> 01:28:00,679
Speaker 1: a little more. So do we have a moral obligation

1442
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,000
Speaker 1: to pay a million dollars for a foreigner's heart surgery?

1443
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:06,000
Speaker 1: I just want to add how many of them? And

1444
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 1: do we have an obligation to give medical treatment to

1445
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 1: anyone who shows up in New York City and have

1446
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: the City of New York pick it up. I just

1447
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:20,360
Speaker 1: want to know the extent of this. And once you

1448
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 1: add illegal immigrants into this equation, what you're really saying

1449
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: is that now you are going to have a city

1450
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 1: government that is confiscating money from people via taxation and

1451
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 1: redistributing it to people who under the same idea of

1452
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 1: rule of law that they're taking the money from you

1453
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,680
Speaker 1: in the City of New York. They're ignoring the rule

1454
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:43,760
Speaker 1: of law when it comes to the illegal status of

1455
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 1: these individuals and giving them goods to be here. You

1456
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 1: want to talk about making our problem at the border worse,

1457
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 1: you want to talk about incentivizing illegal immigration, This is

1458
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:58,600
Speaker 1: a fantastic way of doing it. All that ends up

1459
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 1: happening here is words going to get out instantaneously really

1460
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 1: within the illegal Immeran community. I mean, we're talking about

1461
01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: you can get on you know, Facebook or we chat

1462
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't know what the preferred social media

1463
01:29:10,960 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 1: platform is for folks in Mexico and Central America, but

1464
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 1: they're it's going to be. You know, if you can

1465
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 1: get to New York City, you get you get healthcare

1466
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 1: paid for now, openly City New York's going to openly

1467
01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 1: pay for your healthcare. Um, you know, I just also

1468
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:32,040
Speaker 1: want to know how much how much healthcare we're going

1469
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: to give to illegals? I mean, is it full spectrum? Well,

1470
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 1: what does this really mean? Oh? And the the plan

1471
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 1: I would know, And this is where the Libs always

1472
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:43,759
Speaker 1: run into big problems. It's going to cost one hundred

1473
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: million dollars. One hundred million dollars, which is just coming

1474
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:52,680
Speaker 1: from the taxpayers of New York City. I mean, Deblasio

1475
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,680
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to destroy New York entirely yet, but

1476
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,200
Speaker 1: I think he's now now he's starting to feel his

1477
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:01,120
Speaker 1: stuff a little bit more and he's going to take

1478
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: more aggressive action here. One hundred million dollars annually. Now,

1479
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:12,720
Speaker 1: let's understand that six hundred thousand New Yorkers do not have,

1480
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, health insurance currently. They're saying they're going to

1481
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 1: cover one hundred million New Yorkers annually under this program

1482
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 1: and give them healthcare. I'm sorry, they're gonna spend one

1483
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:29,720
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars annually, you know, and that's what the

1484
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 1: cost will be. Well, if you do the math on this,

1485
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 1: it can you're talking about what a couple, Oh gosh,

1486
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 1: I should I shouldn't have done this on air. In

1487
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:43,040
Speaker 1: real time, you're talking about spending one hundred and fifty

1488
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 1: bucks per person for healthcare. No way, right, Because if

1489
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:52,679
Speaker 1: it were a million New Yorkers and it's one hundred

1490
01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:54,840
Speaker 1: million dollars, you're talking about one hundred bucks a person. Well,

1491
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:58,599
Speaker 1: it's six hundred thousand New Yorkers, so you know it's

1492
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna be how they gonna how are they going to

1493
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 1: manage to do this? They think it's gonna cost one

1494
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars a person for health insurance. That's

1495
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:11,360
Speaker 1: that's just a fantasy. It'll be way more expensive than

1496
01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 1: that to give people comprehensive health insurance coverage, including illegals.

1497
01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 1: By the way, how many illegals are there? They don't

1498
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 1: even know. They say the number six hundred thousand that

1499
01:31:21,120 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 1: don't have insurance, maybe the numbers a million. It's gonna

1500
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:26,960
Speaker 1: you think giving a million people health insurance is gonna

1501
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 1: cost one hundred million dollars. Let me know what that

1502
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,640
Speaker 1: health plan is where people are only gonna cost you

1503
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a year. Please, But it's good New

1504
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:38,559
Speaker 1: York will do this. It's a shame because it's gonna

1505
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:42,680
Speaker 1: start to really destroy my hometown. But New York will

1506
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,040
Speaker 1: do this. It will be the Libs in charge. The

1507
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:47,400
Speaker 1: Libs will own this. The Libs will fail, and at

1508
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 1: least the rest of the country can say, hey, you

1509
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: know what, the Canarian the coal mine is build the

1510
01:31:52,439 --> 01:32:00,280
Speaker 1: Blasio's healthcare plan. The show ain't over yet, folks, keeping

1511
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 1: it real, It's time for roll call I Love of

Speaker 1: It's like, it's like jazz, like, why can't you just

1520
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:42,760
Speaker 1: play the right notes? Which I thought it was pretty funny. Um,

1521
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:45,639
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not somebody who listens too much jazz.

1522
01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:47,360
Speaker 1: I know some of the I know some of the classics,

1523
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,719
Speaker 1: although if you see if you start to include Ella

1524
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and Nina Simone and some of those artists into jazz.

1525
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,320
Speaker 1: I love that stuff, right, That's more my style. Yeah, okay,

1526
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:01,760
Speaker 1: see see I always say, is that jazz? Because if

1527
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:04,360
Speaker 1: we're qualifying that, I think the jazz that people usually

1528
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 1: think of though, is more of the like just portline

1529
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 1: mus Zach kind of stuff. Like you know, you kind

1530
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 1: of hear it somewhere and you're like, uh, this is

1531
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:16,640
Speaker 1: a little too free form for me. You know, it

1532
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:20,479
Speaker 1: needs to have some semblance of melody and and it

1533
01:33:20,560 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 1: needs to make some effort to be pleasant to listen to.

1534
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:25,280
Speaker 1: I think that's my That's where I draw the line, Brandon,

1535
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 1: you're not a beat? Nick would I'm not a beat Nick.

1536
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,240
Speaker 1: By the way, how is the Guns and Roses podcast going?

1537
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 1: It's going quite well. Actually, I think iHeartRadio is going

1538
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:36,760
Speaker 1: to promote it. Uh this coming year, we'll look at that.

1539
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 1: I know, I'm just doing it on my own. They

1540
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 1: noticed it, and uh and yeah, it's just growing. What's

1541
01:33:42,120 --> 01:33:43,920
Speaker 1: coming up on the next episode of the of the

1542
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:46,519
Speaker 1: Guns and Roses podcast. Well, I just interviewed I just

1543
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: put it out today our former manager Doug Goldstein. He

1544
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 1: was with gin R for seventeen years. A really nice guy.

1545
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 1: He's working with opioid addiction now, so we'll talk about

1546
01:33:56,280 --> 01:34:00,080
Speaker 1: anything from just fun stuff with axel too, you know, uh, oh,

1547
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 1: the opioid crisis just like you do here. Oh, if

1548
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:05,880
Speaker 1: he's really interested in combating the opioid crisis, you know,

1549
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 1: let me give me put him in touch with me

1550
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 1: so we can get him on on rising. I would

1551
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:11,720
Speaker 1: love And I'm gonna him in this show too, because

1552
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm all about letting people know what's

1553
01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 1: what's really going on there because there's a need for

1554
01:34:16,280 --> 01:34:19,880
Speaker 1: decisive policy action for sure. Yeah. No, he's he's in

1555
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,559
Speaker 1: the travel the country. He works for something called Matthews

1556
01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 1: Hope Dot Org from a family who lost their son

1557
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,680
Speaker 1: too too soon. And you know, it all relates back

1558
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,280
Speaker 1: to all these years I thought he was fired. It

1559
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 1: just turns out he just wanted to be a family

1560
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 1: man and didn't want to travel with the band anymore.

1561
01:34:35,240 --> 01:34:38,160
Speaker 1: And he's devoted his life to, you know, helping others,

1562
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:41,639
Speaker 1: and that's all stems from Guns n' Roses. That's my hook,

1563
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 1: you know. I just this is just anecdotal, but I

1564
01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 1: can't think of a time when I've heard of somebody

1565
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 1: who made the decision to step away from something professionally

1566
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 1: to focus more on their family, and they regretted it.

1567
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 1: I gotta say I haven't. I'm not saying it never happens.

1568
01:34:57,240 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that that tends not to be what

1569
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 1: I hear say with him, he doesn't regret it at all. Yeah,

1570
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 1: it's probably something that I should keep in mind. Um, oh,

1571
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:08,080
Speaker 1: that's really interesting, man. You know, if I were to

1572
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:10,600
Speaker 1: ask you, I had a thought the other day. You

1573
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 1: know what the greatest um, you know what the greatest

1574
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 1: rock song of the eighties and nineties is do you

1575
01:35:19,320 --> 01:35:21,200
Speaker 1: do you have? Do you have a horse in that race?

1576
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 1: Or is it just too hard for you? I can

1577
01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,599
Speaker 1: kind of compartmentalize and not say g n R. It's

1578
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: got to be the song in the movie that just

1579
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 1: won the Golden Globe. But he mean rhpsody. Really, that's

1580
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 1: just perfection that that song is different. I was I

1581
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 1: was thinking about whether see it's maybe this is a

1582
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 1: better a better way to set up this comparison, uh,

1583
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:49,200
Speaker 1: Death Leopard or a CDC just all in a CDC.

1584
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 1: Kidding me to pour some sugar on me is a

1585
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 1: great song, and not just for your young ladies who

1586
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:57,679
Speaker 1: are paying for college, one dollar at a time, we'll

1587
01:35:57,720 --> 01:36:00,679
Speaker 1: have either one of you guys heard Axel Rose Bohemian

1588
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 1: Rhapsody with Queen No, that sounds pretty That combination right

1589
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:05,880
Speaker 1: there could be your greatest rock song. It was the

1590
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:08,720
Speaker 1: Freddie Mercury tribute they did back in the day. He's

1591
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 1: sang with a Elton John. You gotta see that. You

1592
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:13,680
Speaker 1: have any Have any of you seen recent photos of

1593
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:16,320
Speaker 1: Axel Rose looking like a homeless bag lady, because those

1594
01:36:16,360 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 1: are interesting. We're all gonna look like that someday. Yeah,

1595
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 1: I guess. I don't know. Yeah, if we do botox

1596
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:25,960
Speaker 1: and eat che steaks all night long. So it's just,

1597
01:36:26,320 --> 01:36:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, when you have someone like that, I just

1598
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:29,720
Speaker 1: picture him with like the long blonde hair and like

1599
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:32,760
Speaker 1: right after he's been on some bender and destroyed a

1600
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:35,560
Speaker 1: hotel room. And now I feel like, I feel like

1601
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:39,240
Speaker 1: he probably wants to wear a snuggie a lot, you know,

1602
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 1: And I need to correct myself. It was seventy five

1603
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:44,680
Speaker 1: the song Bohemian City came out, so I'd have to

1604
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:46,720
Speaker 1: think about it. Maybe it is a sweet Child or

1605
01:36:46,760 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 1: something like that of the quintessential song, But I don't know.

1606
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 1: I think does FM radio ruined def Leopard for me

1607
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:57,280
Speaker 1: because they're the band that they play six times an hour. Yeah,

1608
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:01,120
Speaker 1: I guess def Leopards pretty awesome. There's even some good

1609
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 1: stuff that, like, you know, if you put it in there,

1610
01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it isn't photograph of def Leppard song. I

1611
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:07,920
Speaker 1: get into some of the deep tracks, you know, I'm

1612
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:11,560
Speaker 1: not just pour some sugar on me. Guy ACDC is

1613
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,600
Speaker 1: probably and Back in Black I think is probably a

1614
01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:16,560
Speaker 1: better rock I'm really thinking more rock anthems too. But

1615
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:18,400
Speaker 1: I think there's a case you made that Sweet Child

1616
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 1: of Mind is the greatest rock song of the eighties

1617
01:37:20,080 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 1: and nineties. I really do. I think you can. I

1618
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 1: think obviously people can argue this till they're blue in

1619
01:37:24,160 --> 01:37:26,640
Speaker 1: the face, but Sweet Child of Mind is definitely in

1620
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,640
Speaker 1: the running for just you know rock song that is

1621
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:32,720
Speaker 1: number one for me. Producer Mike, do you do you

1622
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 1: have a pick um? That's a good question. I'm a

1623
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 1: big guns Rosas fan too, so I think it's something

1624
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:42,040
Speaker 1: that's better than Sweet Child on mine. You know what's

1625
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:45,479
Speaker 1: funny about Aerosmith. You gotta respect Aerosmith because he's been

1626
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 1: in the game so long and and does have a

1627
01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:51,000
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of really good songs. That said, though,

1628
01:37:51,160 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't think there's one Aerosmith song that is like

1629
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:59,920
Speaker 1: the anthem that we will remember forever Aerosmith. We celebrate

1630
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:03,400
Speaker 1: the whole catalog, right, Kenny g I celebrate his whole catal, Oh,

1631
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:07,000
Speaker 1: Michael Bolden, Rather I celebrate the fholl catalog. Um. But yeah,

1632
01:38:07,040 --> 01:38:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't really about Journey Don't stop believing. That's a

1633
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 1: good one. That's a good one, and it's good fun. Fact,

1634
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 1: the only Arrowsmith song to ever go number one, uh

1635
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:21,439
Speaker 1: is the one from Armageddon. Don't want Him as a thing,

1636
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:23,800
Speaker 1: which might be that might be the worst song in

1637
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,880
Speaker 1: my opinion, But and you know, you know what I

1638
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:29,600
Speaker 1: gotta say about Journey Don't stop Believing is Mike, you

1639
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 1: just brought that up, and all of a sudden, I'm

1640
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:37,760
Speaker 1: transported to every New England college bar I went to

1641
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:41,759
Speaker 1: in college where you know, it was like two am,

1642
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:46,040

1646
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, yeah, lad, it's it's it's it's the ultimate,

1647
01:38:57,320 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 1: like almost last call song and was the ultimate last

1648
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:02,679
Speaker 1: It takes me to the sopranos, that's alright, it takes

1649
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:06,720
Speaker 1: me to less. Uh. Let's talking about speaking of last call,

01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:04,479
Speaker 1: buck love the show. Don't sweat it about being forty

1668
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: almost forty and not married or with a family yet.

1669
01:40:07,320 --> 01:40:10,200
Speaker 1: I'll be thirty nine soon, my husband will be forty three,

1670
01:40:10,880 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: and we're expecting our fourth kid. We move to be

1671
01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 1: closer to his work, but now he works from where

1672
01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:18,000
Speaker 1: we move from. We're happy where we live and have

1673
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:19,680
Speaker 1: started our six year old on a great school, so

1674
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 1: he commutes. You can make it work for your family

1675
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:25,200
Speaker 1: when you have one. On the political thank you, Julie.

1676
01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 1: On the political front, the left will implode because they

1677
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:31,200
Speaker 1: have stood for everything to be inclusive and cannot stand

1678
01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: for anything without offending someone. They have lost control of

1679
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:38,439
Speaker 1: the monster they created. The right will implode simply because

1680
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 1: we cannot unite Boo and Ginsburg is seriously not in

1681
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,920
Speaker 1: good health. She's old. Thanks for the great analysis, Julie.

1682
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:52,800
Speaker 1: You know, Julie, I think you're right that I think

1683
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 1: you're right that the left will eventually implode. But you

1684
01:40:56,880 --> 01:41:00,280
Speaker 1: have to remember that they might get themselves into hour

1685
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 1: and then be able to do a tremendous amount of

1686
01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:08,000
Speaker 1: damage when they implode, right, So they just because eventually

1687
01:41:08,080 --> 01:41:11,400
Speaker 1: their ideology is doomed to self contradiction and failure. It

1688
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:14,280
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that we can ignore it because in the meantime,

1689
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 1: well what is you know, where does that really take us? Right? Like?

1690
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:23,000
Speaker 1: Where where are we now? In terms of left wing

1691
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:28,800
Speaker 1: control and a progressive backlash to Trumpism? That could set

1692
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 1: the country back in a whole bunch of ways. So

1693
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,479
Speaker 1: I hear you, but it's not enough to say we

1694
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 1: had The left is gonna The left is gonna consume itself.

1695
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,960
Speaker 1: It will eventually, but they might consume us in the meantime.

1696
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:46,200
Speaker 1: And that's why we have to be on guard and

1697
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 1: have to have to fight back against this. William rights,

1698
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:54,520
Speaker 1: all the snowflakes in America are going to hate socialism

1699
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:57,160
Speaker 1: for three reasons. First, they'll have to work at a

1700
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 1: job they'll hate for years. Secondly, they won't be able

1701
01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:02,479
Speaker 1: to make any money to save up for that tesla

1702
01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:05,599
Speaker 1: or home they want to own so bad. And thirdly,

1703
01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:08,599
Speaker 1: nobody else is going to care what they think about

1704
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:12,880
Speaker 1: the first two big disappointments in their lives. They'll have

1705
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 1: to work at this making these tesla nobody else okay,

1706
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 1: And then he writes who gives a rats behind about

1707
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:22,360
Speaker 1: the worthless federal workers who are minus their non essential

1708
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 1: paycheck right now. Most of them are hypocrites without a

1709
01:42:25,920 --> 01:42:31,439
Speaker 1: paycheck for a reality check, Wow, William Williams, that's rough,

1710
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:34,280
Speaker 1: Like William, there there are some really good, really good

1711
01:42:34,320 --> 01:42:36,679
Speaker 1: people in the federal workforce, lots of them, and they're

1712
01:42:36,720 --> 01:42:39,160
Speaker 1: not getting a paycheck right now. So I can't I

1713
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:41,360
Speaker 1: can't hop on board or who gives a rats? And

1714
01:42:41,439 --> 01:42:45,880
Speaker 1: he didn't write behind about the federal workers here. A

1715
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:47,880
Speaker 1: lot of them are doing really essential job that we

1716
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:50,560
Speaker 1: want them to be doing. You know, Border patrol is

1717
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 1: showing up without pay and doing their job. For example,

1718
01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:57,599
Speaker 1: at least some of border patrol is so Coast Guard.

1719
01:42:57,720 --> 01:42:59,800
Speaker 1: You know that there are others that are working with

1720
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:03,559
Speaker 1: out pay. I'm not saying that means that this isn't

1721
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 1: a fight we should have and that Trump is wrong

1722
01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:08,479
Speaker 1: to have this fight. I'm just saying, and let's not

1723
01:43:08,680 --> 01:43:11,639
Speaker 1: let's not take this too Far's it's not the fault

1724
01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:14,439
Speaker 1: of the fifteen percent of non essential federal workers that

1725
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: they work for agencies that did not get covered. But

1726
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 1: I hear you on the general snowflake ism of American

1727
01:43:22,960 --> 01:43:29,120
Speaker 1: left wingers and socialists. So there's that, Eric, Right, Democrats

1728
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 1: quick find the doctor and send him to nineteen seventy

1729
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:37,720
Speaker 1: six to tell Congress not to give the president emergency powers. Yeah. Eric,

1730
01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 1: as we have discussed, and as our main man, Andy

1731
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy made very clear, they have given the Congress has

1732
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:50,280
Speaker 1: given president the authority to do this. He has the authority.

1733
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,160
Speaker 1: People who are saying otherwise do not believe in the

1734
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:57,640
Speaker 1: plain language of clear law. Kyle rights. Also, the notorious

1735
01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 1: RBG will pull a weekend at Bernie before she steps

1736
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 1: down under Trump, or she'll resign a few months before

1737
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:06,320
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election and give Democrats AMMO to make

1738
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: Senate Republicans look hypocritical for taking up any nominee. Allah

1739
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:18,200
Speaker 1: Americ Garland. Okay, I gotta tell you this is RBG

1740
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 1: thing that some liberals are saying. It's just getting weird.

1741
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 1: There's a there's a tweet today from a and this

1742
01:44:26,479 --> 01:44:28,880
Speaker 1: is not a rando, not some random person. This is

1743
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:32,160
Speaker 1: a here you go, some guy named Roger Simon on

1744
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:36,760
Speaker 1: Twitter who has a considerable following. He's got thousands and

1745
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 1: thousands of followers, and I think he works in politics

1746
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:41,280
Speaker 1: and some capacity, or maybe he's a journalist. I don't know,

1747
01:44:41,760 --> 01:44:43,559
Speaker 1: but he put this out there, and this tweak had

1748
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 1: a lot of attention. Quote, if it were possible, would

1749
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:49,400
Speaker 1: you subtract one day off your life and add it

1750
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:52,240
Speaker 1: to Ruth Bader Ginsberg's life for one extra day of

1751
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 1: good health. If just ten thousand people did this, it

1752
01:44:56,080 --> 01:45:01,000
Speaker 1: would add twenty seven productive years to her life. That's

1753
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:06,080
Speaker 1: just weird. It's just creepy, you know. It's just a

1754
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:11,599
Speaker 1: strange thing to do. It's not something that a normal person.

1755
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:13,800
Speaker 1: And I don't mean take a year off. I mean,

1756
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 1: obviously it's a it's a ridiculous premise, but even to

1757
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:20,360
Speaker 1: think this way, you would take a day off your

1758
01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:22,639
Speaker 1: life or some stranger because she's on the Supreme Court,

1759
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 1: because we need to add years to Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life,

1760
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,400
Speaker 1: because she's so necessary for the future of the republic

1761
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 1: and turning it into a you know, socialist they think paradise.

1762
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: I say, hell escape, I mean that that's really what

1763
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 1: they've got here. It's just it's just a bizarre thing

1764
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 1: to do, a bizarre thing to say. And there is

1765
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:46,640
Speaker 1: a cult around Ruth Bader Ginsburg that is that is

1766
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:50,000
Speaker 1: truly weird. It the only way to say it is

1767
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:53,560
Speaker 1: just that it's it's strange. I mean, it does not

1768
01:45:53,760 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 1: make sense for people to be as invested in a

1769
01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice that they've never met, such that they

1770
01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:04,560
Speaker 1: would even, you know, give days off their lives for

1771
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:07,360
Speaker 1: this such a there's such a bunch of weirdos that

1772
01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:11,599
Speaker 1: Ruth bider Ginsburg texts, Dan writes, Hey Buck, seventeen year

1773
01:46:11,680 --> 01:46:15,800
Speaker 1: restaurant professional. As a chef, cast iron for a good steak,

1774
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:18,360
Speaker 1: all caps. If it's an inch and a half plus,

1775
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:21,519
Speaker 1: I usually sear it hard on one side, flip it

1776
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:23,799
Speaker 1: and throw it right in the oven for the perfect

1777
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 1: medium rare. But I prefer it's seared and basically mooing myself,

1778
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,439
Speaker 1: shields and forks high. Dan Well, Dan, thanks to hear

1779
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:34,639
Speaker 1: from an actual chef and an expert on this one.

1780
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:39,360
Speaker 1: You know the reverse sears. I reverse seared a filet

1781
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:46,280
Speaker 1: mignon Mali Bianchile parfe. I did a little filet mignon

1782
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,760
Speaker 1: for myself last night. Chef Buck, you know, do I

1783
01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:50,960
Speaker 1: sit here at home by myself and wear a little

1784
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 1: like chef hat. Maybe can neither confirm nor deny, but

1785
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:02,120
Speaker 1: I did make myself a filet a filet last filet mignon,

1786
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:05,400
Speaker 1: and it was perfect. I mean, I absolutely crushed it.

1787
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:08,519
Speaker 1: And one thing I'll say is that really especially with

1788
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 1: the filet, because you don't season all of it, at

1789
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 1: least I don't. I mean people usual don't season to

1790
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:16,640
Speaker 1: really go hard with the pepper and the salt on

1791
01:47:16,800 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 1: the tops that you're searing to create that crust and

1792
01:47:20,680 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 1: to have a real flavorful crust that you cut into.

1793
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: That makes a big difference. And I did the reverse

1794
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 1: sear method once again just to kind of perfect it.

1795
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:31,040
Speaker 1: I did it with that big steak. Worked out really well,

1796
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:32,880
Speaker 1: and then I did the reverse here on the filet mignon,

1797
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 1: and all reverse here means it's oven first, then seer

1798
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: on the stovetop. And Chef Dan is obviously right. Get

1799
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:40,800
Speaker 1: a cast iron I should get, you know what, we

1800
01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:44,160
Speaker 1: should get Lodge, which makes cast iron pans. Producer Mike,

1801
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:45,960
Speaker 1: let's make a note of this. Let's see if they

1802
01:47:46,040 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 1: want to do a promotion on the show, because I'm

1803
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:51,719
Speaker 1: basically giving them free press all the time anyway, because

1804
01:47:52,160 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 1: it's one of the best pieces of kitchen equipment I've

1805
01:47:54,600 --> 01:48:02,679
Speaker 1: ever bought. So there you have it. See here Aaron Rights,

1806
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:04,880
Speaker 1: Hey Buck thanks so much for your show. I especially

1807
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 1: like the Shields High episodes. I learned a lot from

1808
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:10,800
Speaker 1: them and from your show in general. Shield's High, Well, Aaron,

1809
01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:14,040
Speaker 1: thank you Shield's High. I enjoyed that, I mean the podcast,

1810
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 1: and I will bring it back at some point. It's

1811
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:19,600
Speaker 1: just it's a tremendous amount of time and effort, and

1812
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:23,760
Speaker 1: I wish I could do more. That's all I can

1813
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 1: tell you. I wish I wish I had more that

1814
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:29,840
Speaker 1: I could do with it. Ryan writes, Hey Buck, great show. Occasionally,

1815
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:33,320
