WEBVTT - The Border Crisis is Real 0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:16.120 You are entering the freedom hunt. Tonight is the night 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.000 we find out if President Trump is declaring a state 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.880 of emergency at the border, what his plan is for 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:26.560 the wall and to finally bring some security to our 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.280 southern border. We'll talk about that and all of the 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.519 latest coming up on the buck Sexton Show. This is 0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.800 the buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission is 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:41.640 to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.839 mistake American, You're a great American Again. The buck Sexton 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:55.200 Show begins as this idea that they need five billion 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.720 five to seven, which they haven't even sent us a 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:03.480 plan for until yesterday. We're looking at it now, is unrealistic. 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.120 We want the symbol of America to stay as the 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:11.120 statue of liberty, not a big concrete wall. The President 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.880 is announced that he's going to address the country tomorrow 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.720 night on the so called crisis of the border. I 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.880 expect the president to lie to the American people. Why 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.640 do we expect this because he has been lying to 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.400 the American people, and it spokespeople continue lying to the 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.319 American people. There is no security crisis at the border. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.680 The only emergency at the border is a humanitarian emergency. 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.760 Caused by this war on children. The president has no 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:43.840 authority to usurp congressional authority of the purse. Congress must 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.640 appropriate funds. He cannot simply take funds appropriate for other 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.400 purposes to build a wall because he declares the national emergency. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:56.360 And we would certainly oppose any attempt by the President 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.320 to make himself a king and a tyrant by saying 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.320 that he can approach create money without Congress. That is 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.560 perhaps the most dangerous thing he is talking about since 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:13.639 he became president. Lies, lies, falsehoods, half truths, miss truths. 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:18.320 The Democrats are thrown that everything in the kitchen sink 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.200 at the wall, at Trump. They're doing everything in their power, 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.680 anything in their power and beyond it to try and 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.840 stop Trump from securing our southern border. Welcome to the 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.720 Buck Sexton Show, my friends. It is go time here. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:40.280 Democrats are starting to lose this argument. They have been 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:45.800 very self assured, very smug, and of course sanctimonious, because 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:51.720 we are talking about Democrats. They've assumed along that the 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:57.040 old rules about shutdowns would apply, that the media would rally, 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.400 like the little lackeys they are, to the Demo krat's 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.600 side and make sure that the blame, such as it is, 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.400 goes to Republicans. The American people turn on their members 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.280 of Congress for not opening the government in a timely fashion, 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:17.080 Republicans cave, Democrats win, and the border in this case 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.560 would not get secure. Doesn't look like that's necessarily going 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.840 to be the case, now, does it. We have heard 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.280 just to take a step back, because the border has 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:33.480 been the single most important news story in the country 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.160 for the last six months, with the only real exception 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:43.800 being that period when the Kavanaugh nomination took over, and 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:45.680 we got right in the middle of that fight here 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:52.520 on the show, as you know, and thankfully good prevailed 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.120 over evil in that one. And I'm not sure that 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.760 the right side is going to win in this border battle, 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.440 but we're getting close. But I wanted to take a 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:07.120 step back from what's going to be discussed tonight is 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.880 presidential address. It's going to happen at nine o'clock Eastern, 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.760 as you know, it would be right right after we 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:17.680 finish this show, so I can't I can't assess the 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.840 address for you in over the course of this show, 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.320 but certainly we'll talk about it tomorrow. But I wanted 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:27.800 to give a context for what's coming tonight, because there's 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.800 definitely going to be a pitch from the Presidence of 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.520 the United States about why this wall needs to be built. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.359 The context, though, is that the Democrats and the left 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:44.200 have no credibility on any issues relating to immigration whatsoever. 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:51.239 They have lied and lied and lied. They said that 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:57.120 the caravan was never going to reach our southern border. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:01.839 They said that there were that there were no criminals 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.279 in the caravan. They said that the wall would not work. 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.520 They say that walls have never worked. They say that 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:14.840 there's no problem with our current asylum system. It's not 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.120 being abused. People aren't lying, they don't have they're not 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:22.440 using loopholes. There isn't a lack of interior enforcement at 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.200 every stage of our immigration process right now involving our 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:30.839 southern border where there's any concern or conflict whatsoever. The 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:35.880 Democrats tactic is to lie about it and then attack 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:40.200 the other side, and the biggest one right now. And 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:47.720 this just requires gall I mean, this is nuts. Is 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:52.000 they're saying, and we came in with this, that there's 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.920 no crisis at the border. There's no crisis. They are 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.240 willing just as they have redefined an illegal alien to 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:03.479 be a quote undocumented immigrant. They're willing to redefine the 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:09.800 word crisis to be effectively meaningless. What is it that 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:14.440 you would call a situation where laws are being broken 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:20.679 on a daily basis to the tune of thousands, tens 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.039 of thousands over the course of a month, hundreds of 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.760 thousands over the course of a year. What is it 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.640 you would call a circumstance that allows for the violation 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:36.040 on a daily basis in thousands of cases of US sovereignty. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:43.040 What would democrats call a situation where hundreds, perhaps thousands 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:50.920 of women on a monthly basis are sexually assaulted. What 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.320 would democrats call a situation in which drugs are pouring 0:06:55.360 --> 0:07:00.080 across the border at rates that are terrifying even to 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:05.880 longstanding veteran members of border patrol. The cartels are more 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.360 powerful in Mexico right now than they have been in 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.720 recent memory. There's an argument to be made they're more 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.920 violent than they have ever been, and there's an argument 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.720 to be made that they are more powerful than they 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.120 have ever been. They're just not going toe to toe 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.320 with the government in quite the same fashion as they 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.680 have in the past. But more to the point, for 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.960 all of us. The cartels are now the primary source 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.960 of the poison, the opioids that are pouring in to 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:42.239 cities and towns across the United States that are killing 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.520 over seventy thousand of our fellow Americans every year. In fact, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:51.800 that cartels, as I have told you, are creating pills 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:56.960 to look like pharmaceutical pills so that they can sell 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.760 them more easily on the street because the da and 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:05.680 have slapped down doctors for overprescribing opioids, probably too much, 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.080 so I mean, they're probably people that are a lot 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.080 of pain now because they can't get the opioids. And 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.960 to fill that need, because you have a lot of 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.000 addicts out there to fill that need, the cartels have 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.200 swooped in. This has been going on for years, but 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:23.640 it's more true now than ever before. If it's not 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.480 a crisis, when you have tens of thousands of Americans 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:32.000 dying from illegal poison that is overwhelmingly coming from one place, 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.920 what is it? What is the definition of a crisis? 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.800 Then you know why they don't want that to be 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:44.040 the word that is used. Because the president has the 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.679 authority to act if it is a crisis, He has 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:52.640 the authority in statute. Democrats are running out of room 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.640 with their lies. They do not want to secure the border. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.000 It's a joke. All they want to do is more 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:06.720 are expeditiously processed those who arrive with overwhelmingly false claims 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:14.319 or preproduced claims, fabricated claims of imminent violence against them, 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.760 when in reality they just want access into the United States. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.319 They want to skip the rest of the millions of 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.200 people who are trying to get into the country legally, 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.000 and they don't care that their first act on US 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:31.480 soil is fraudulent, the very act of being here and 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.200 the premises under which they have entered the country are fraudulent. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:45.079 Democrats have no interest in stopping this, and I think finally, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:50.120 the American people are figuring this out. We do not 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.840 believe these claims that they also want border security. They 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:58.400 also believe that this is a problem. I mean, they're 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.600 saying it's not a crisis. We've had thousands of people 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.679 parked at one of our ports of entry or one 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.640 of our border sectors, trying to overrun border patrol and 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.960 throwing rocks at them. If that is not a crisis, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:18.120 I need them to explain to me what is and 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:21.960 when you add on to this the massive hypocrisy of 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:26.680 Democrats who themselves all summer when it came to the 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:31.360 issue of family separation. Oh my gosh, why would they 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.679 do this? Why are they separating you families that choke 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:35.880 with the border from their children. This is they were 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.719 saying that was a crisis, but everything else that's going 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.480 on to the border they're claiming is not. I mean, 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:45.840 they when it suits their needs, the news cycle, they 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.480 think plays into their hands. Then they throw the term 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:55.080 crisis around with reckless abandon the moment that the usage 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.560 of the word crisis opens up an opportunity for the 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.120 President of the United States to address the crisis, to 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:10.880 do something about the crisis, they change their minds. Isn't 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:16.960 that convenient? Isn't that a situation that if you are 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.440 a cynical observer of what Pelosi and Schumer and the 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:25.480 rest of the Democrat gang wanted, you would think, Oh, 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:31.560 that's exactly what I would have expected. You know, you've 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:36.839 got the truth here is that this is a political 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:41.319 fight for the Democrats, has nothing to do with border 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:47.480 security or national security. Democrats are in a panic because 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:51.040 they know that if Trump follows through on this promise. 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.240 It will be a symbol for everything else that he 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.800 has promised. And they have been telling us all along. 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:02.520 It will never happen. Trump won't. It's a joke. In fact, 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:07.400 you're a rube, you're foolish, you're a clown. If you 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:09.560 believed President Trump when he said he was going to 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:14.640 build a wall, that you were unsophisticated and you're thinking 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.920 about politics. That's what the Democrats and the media, but 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.160 I repeat myself have been saying now for two years. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:29.120 They have already had to lick their wounds when it 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.520 came to trying to take down this president, with all 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.400 their negative stories, all their personal attacks, all of their 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:40.760 hysteria over collusion, over the twenty fifth Amendment. Trump is 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.480 a racist, you know, whatever it is. They've thrown everything 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:45.880 they have a Trump. They haven't been able to take 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.520 him down. And they thought they'd be able to. They 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.880 really believe it they'd be able to derail this presidency. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.800 And not only have they been incapable of derailing the presidency. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:01.120 Now we stand on the precipice of the president achieving 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:05.079 a political breakthrough. Hasn't happened yet, and we will see, 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:09.920 but at least we are in the fight here, and 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.120 Trump is leading the charge to get a political breakthrough 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.040 that would not only change what's going on in our 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:21.439 southern border and give us some hope of finally achieving 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:26.640 control over who comes and who doesn't across our southern border. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:32.120 The entire narrative about Trump as some kind of a 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:36.839 fraud who is fooling the gullible would be untenable. I mean, 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.440 there would be betty in the media who would try 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:40.480 to stick to it, but they would be the laughing stock. 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.720 There'd be no way around it. They've been telling us 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:45.960 all this time, for two years. The wall's never going 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.560 to happen, and you're if you think it will, you're 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.079 an idiot. In fact, if you think Trump's even going 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.840 to try and get a wall, you're an idiot. Well, 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.079 it looks like he's trying now, doesn't it. And if 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:07.800 he manages to push this through, libs will lose their minds. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.560 This is a tense moment in politics. There are a 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:18.160 lot of people who for them this is an issue 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:23.400 of their own personal credibility, their professional future. A lot 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:29.640 of journalists, members of congress activist organizations. They have built 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:35.720 up this entire store of lies around the border and 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:41.160 the whole thing just could come crashing down. It's going 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:45.360 to be interesting, and I hope the President tonight gives 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:51.480 us all he's got because the time is now. Some 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.760 more of the details of what's going on at the border. 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.680 We're gonna have also, my friend Annie McCarthy, I told 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.200 him tonight, Andy, we're really going to need you to 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.520 break down a legality here of whether they can or 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:05.680 cannot build this border wall. But then I meaning whether 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.040 the President has the authority also under the law, and 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.800 then we'll talk to him about this arrest of an 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.640 indictment of I should say indictment, not arrest, pardon me, 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:20.640 indictment of Vessel Nitskaya, who is at the Trump Tower 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.600 meeting this Russian lawyer that was getting some attention today. 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.120 And you will help us break that down. We'll have 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.800 White House correspondent from Daily Caller joining with the latest 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:32.560 about what we can expect tonight in that address, and 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.160 we have much more show coming. Oh and free healthcare 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.920 for illegals in New York City. What a surprise, that's 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:46.120 all coming up. Stay with me, team, Well, this is 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.720 a very serious situation. President Obama called it a humanitarian 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:54.280 crisis when twenty fourteen, when we saw tens of thousands 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:58.840 unaccompanied children coming across the border exploiting gaps in our 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.560 immigration law. But you know, this is an entirely contrived 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.160 and phony crisis right now, and by that I mean 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:09.200 the political crisis here in Washington where Miss Pelosi and 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.280 Senator Schumer simply want to beat President Trump. They want 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.160 to deny him what he's asking for, and they want 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.320 the political benefit among their base for having done so. 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:22.760 I think we can improve the security of our southern border, 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.120 deal with the flow of heroin and other illegal drugs, 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:30.840 human trafficking, and migrant movement across the border illegally, which 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.640 was creating this crisis at the border. You know, he 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:38.040 mentioned there, that was a Senator Cornyn, and he mentioned 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.840 drugs the border and what's going on there. I actually 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:45.040 have some stats here about the twenty seventeen to twenty 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:51.400 eighteen narcotics situation at our southern border. There has been 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.880 in terms of seizures and this is over the last year. Okay, 0:16:55.880 --> 0:17:00.280 this is what's going on now. A twenty two sent 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:05.560 increase in heroin sees, a thirty eight percent increase in 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:12.240 meth amphetamine ceased and a seventy three percent increase in fentanyl. 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.920 These are the drugs that are heroin and fentanyl particularly 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.159 are the ones that are killing so many of our 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:25.879 fellow Americans. They're coming across the southern border. In fact, 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:31.480 methamphetamine prices have dropped considerably meth right now speaking to 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:37.080 a law enforcement contact about this recently, meth is more 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:40.760 pure and cheaper on US streets when they're finding it 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:43.800 then I think it at any time, the price of 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.399 meth is plummeted, and the cartels are just trying to 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:52.879 keep the markets open somewhat that meth amphetamine has almost 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:56.200 become a loss leader for cartels, meaning that they're they're 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:00.400 trying to keep their supply relationships going and they're making 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.600 their money their illegal drug trade money on the fentyel 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.800 and the heroine, and they're thrown in meth as kind 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:11.399 of a sweetener of sorts, because so much of the 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.880 drug trade now is focused on these opioids, because they're 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:19.760 so powerful, so potent, and the market is large for them. 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.560 This is a crisis. People are dying. They're dying because 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.800 we do not have a secure southern border. This stuff. 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.560 If it were so easy to get illegal fentael on 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.480 the streets of America. If it was so easy to 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.199 get a doctor to prescribe it, the cartels wouldn't be 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:39.800 making billions of dollars doing it illegally. We'll talk more 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.720 about the expectations for the president's speech tonight, and of 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:47.439 course the already prepped medium backlashed against it. Coming up. 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:02.399 He's holding the line or America, buck Sexton his back 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:07.800 taking a republic for a political leader to try to 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:12.600 seize power by the declaration of an emergency on made 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.520 up facts, and you can look through history for the 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:19.320 other autocrats, the other fascists, the other dictators who have 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:22.399 tried to do and have in fact declared such things. 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:26.399 It's disturbing. Steve Schman talk about the weakness, that its 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:29.000 an idiot. How about that we're done with We're done 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:30.520 with him, We're done with him. I just want to 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:34.360 know that this is what passes for expert commentary on MSNBC. 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.280 Say they are the fascist and the you know, the 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:44.479 bad people and the stuff and the Hitler idiocy, idiocy, 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:49.840 not even intelligent criticism of the president from a so 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:51.720 called so called I don't even know if he I 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.320 think he's now a Democrat. I don't know. He might 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.560 as well be a Democrat if he's not. That's the 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.720 guy who ran McCain's presidential campaign. By the way, he 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:02.280 says a lot, doesn't it. You know, this is something 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:07.240 I've been talking to a lot of people in DC 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:11.200 about in recent weeks, because I've I've had my more 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.840 than my fill of having to hear from you know, 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.359 whenever you turn on the TV or you're you know, 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:21.320 looking in different editorials, different papers, these never Trump Republicans. 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.920 When are they going to wake up? I'm not saying 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.040 they have to defend everything Trump does. I'm not saying 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:29.760 anybody has to defend everything Trump does. I don't. I 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:31.520 don't like some of the things that Trump has said 0:20:31.560 --> 0:20:33.840 and done. I don't agree with Trump on certain things. 0:20:33.960 --> 0:20:37.920 That's fine, but you got to pick a side, you know, 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.159 you're on you're on one team on these issues that 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:44.000 you're on the other team. And I just I can't 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:45.960 help but notice that with a lot of these people, 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.920 it's really they pretend that it's all about the republic, 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:52.800 you know, they pretend that they're all concerned with how 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.800 Trump is using this declaration of emergency to seize power 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.679 and oh my gosh, and the constitution you're shredding it, 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:07.240 when really they're just upset and in many cases bitter 0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:13.119 and envious of people that have been elevated because Trump 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:19.840 has won. Trump has won the election, and his people, 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:22.919 the people that are around him are not the standard 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.480 GOP operatives. You have to remember that a lot of 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:33.040 these voices you're hearing from the GOP establishment dynasties, from 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:37.480 the McCain camp, from the Romney camp, from the Bush camp, 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:42.440 the ones that are all such such principled critics of 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:46.679 the administration, the ones that have a blinding hatred for Trump. 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.800 What they really hate is that they're not important anymore. 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:55.160 What they really hate is that many of these GOP 0:21:55.480 --> 0:22:00.639 operatives and talking heads and consultants thought that they had 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:04.560 paid their dues and it was their turn, and in 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:08.360 the Trump era they're shut out. And so what they're 0:22:09.280 --> 0:22:12.000 presenting to you and Schmidt is certainly in this category. 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:14.520 There are many others as well, where they're presenting to 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:18.920 you as principled criticism and opposition is really, I want 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:21.040 the toys, and I don't have the toys, so I 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:27.399 hate everybody. That's the tantrum that these anti Trumpers in 0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:32.280 the GOP are engaged in. So I am perfectly willing 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:37.080 to hear from honest critics of the president. And as 0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:42.639 you know, I'm still on very good terms with some 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.720 pretty well known critics of the president within the GOP, 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:49.040 over at National Review and other places. And but you know, 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:52.640 they call balls and strikes. They say the president did this, well, 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:55.080 the President didn't do that. Well. I don't like the 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:59.080 president personally. I like the president's policies. That's that is 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:03.240 a principal position. And President Trump be the fascist, the hitler, 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:07.719 and that's an idiot position. And the fact that they 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.639 give airtime to people so they can say things like 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.240 that tells you all you need to know about the 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:17.720 journalistic ethics or really the lack thereof at these major networks. 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:21.359 They are disgracing themselves. But I don't think they have 0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:24.879 any integrity to protect. And when you have no integrity 0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.680 to protect, you have endless options. So I guess there's 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:32.919 that upside on this issue of the border and the 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:36.600 possibility of a state of emergency declared so President Trump 0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:41.479 can start building this wall. Don't you think that if 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:44.560 it were really about the effectiveness of the wall or 0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:48.080 the cost of the wall, and those two things go 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:50.720 hand in hand, don't they. You know, if the wall 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:53.920 is expensive and ineffective, it makes it even more of 0:23:53.960 --> 0:23:57.000 a political liability. But if it were about that, why 0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:01.200 such outrage about him starting this What they say is true, 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:04.160 these phrases, you know, things people say, Oh, you give 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:05.760 me a ten foot wall, I'll give you an eleven 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:09.879 foot ladder. This is not These are not positions that 0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:12.960 have been thought out. These are slogans. This is trying 0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:17.440 to tap into a mob mentality to overcome a rational 0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:21.159 response to what is obviously an incredible problem we have, 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:26.800 which has led to twenty million illegal aliens in the 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:31.359 country at a minimum. That's the other issue that they've 0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:34.040 been lying to you about forever. You know, the more 0:24:34.080 --> 0:24:36.439 information we get about the board and about immigration, the 0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:40.280 more clear it is that there has been a by 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:44.560 partisan effort to hide the reality of our southern border 0:24:44.600 --> 0:24:50.600 from the American people. And I've even read wonky analysis 0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:57.199 by national security geostrategists who say that this notion that 0:24:57.240 --> 0:25:01.240 the that the immigration that we are in undergoing right now, 0:25:01.640 --> 0:25:05.399 if you took out of this the domestic politics and 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:11.679 the identity politics and all of the toxic racializing of 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:13.800 the issue that the Democrats do to make it sound 0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:17.480 like this is really just about keeping America white. They 0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:20.600 say things like that publicly, they claim things like that 0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:24.040 on TV. Take that out from from this discussion for 0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:27.480 a moment and look at what's what has been going 0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:30.399 on and is going on at our border. Any other 0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:35.119 country would consider it a crisis. Any other country would 0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:39.240 be doing everything in its power to stop this from continuing. 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:45.080 And from a geostrategic position, if you were to analyze this, 0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:46.959 you'd say, hold on a second. Not only do you 0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:53.720 have a mass of illegal, illegal intrusions into a country 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:57.920 that are changing the body politic of the country and 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:01.280 question that are that are reshaping its politics and having 0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:04.160 a profound impact on its culture. It's for a country 0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:10.960 that is contiguous with that country, which historically leads to 0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:15.679 real instability and leads to outcomes that you know, we 0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.199 don't even want to consider right now, but you know, 0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:26.640 political instability that can have long lasting ramifications. It's different 0:26:27.119 --> 0:26:31.240 when you have tens of millions of people from one 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:35.000 country come to another country of a different culture, speaking 0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:39.879 generally a different language. When that country next door also 0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:44.480 has a history of having previously controlled owned that land. 0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:48.399 You know, there's this concept of irridentism, the idea that 0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:51.320 a country will want back the land that it previously had. 0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:52.879 There used to be groups that would talk a bit 0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:57.920 about this, also the ray Konquista, which was also a 0:26:58.040 --> 0:27:04.879 historical reference to the expulsion of the Muslim conquerors of Spain, 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:08.239 which finally was successful in fourteen ninety two. And some 0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:10.000 of you have probably seen the movie El sid and 0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:14.639 you know how all that stuff went. But there is 0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.720 a difference between people coming from an ocean away and 0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:22.600 settling in America and a country on our border that 0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:28.080 does not really respect the border and has a tremendous 0:27:28.080 --> 0:27:31.160 amount of We want to talk about foreign influence in elections, 0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:34.880 You want to talk about what the political implications are 0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:38.800 of having a foreign country having dispersed so many of 0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.240
