HELLO AMERICA, THIS IS LIFE
LIBERTY AND LIVE-IN.
IT'S A PLEASURE.
WE'VE MET IN THE PAST.
NOW WE GET TO TALK TO EACH
OTHER.
I WOULD TELL YOU WHY I WANTED
TO HEAR.
YOU FASCINATE ME.
YOU'RE A GREAT ATHLETE.
I'M FROM PHILADELPHIA.
YOU PLAYED FOR THE
DIAMONDBACKS IN BOSTON, A
TREMENDOUS RECORD.
AND ALSO YOUR OUTSPOKEN
CONSERVATIVE.
IN 1993 YOU PITCHED FOR THE
PHILLIES.
THEY LOST.
THEN THE BOSTON RED SOX
CHAMPIONSHIPS, 11 INTO
POSTSEASON RECORD THAT IS THE
GREATEST POST SEASON RECORD
FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS PITCHED
TEN OR MORE AND 8.6 WINNING
PERCENTAGE.
I'M DOING THIS FOR A REASON.
YOU HAVE THE MAJOR LEAGUE
RECORD WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.
YOU PITCHED PAST SIX AND SEVEN
INNINGS WHICH ISN'T DONE VERY
OFTEN.
YOU'RE NOT IN THE HALL OF
FAME.
IS THAT BECAUSE OF YOUR
VIEWS?
YOU THINK IT'S POLITICAL.
>> PART OF IT IS.
IT'S NOT A GAS.
PEOPLE HAVE NOT VOTED FOR ME
BECAUSE OF THE THINGS I'VE
SAID OR DID.
THEN COME OUT AND SAID THAT TO
ME.
>> ISN'T THAT OUTRAGEOUS.
AREN'T THEY SUPPOSED BE VOTING
ON YOUR CAREER AS A BASEBALL
PLAYER AND AN ATHLETE, NOT
YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS.
>> THE TWO WORDS THAT COME UP
ARE CHARACTER FLAWS.
THERE'S A COUPLE ISSUES.
FIRST OF ALL, I'VE NOW SEEN
RECENTLY HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE
BONDS CATEGORY.
THE CHARACTER ISSUES, THIS AND
THAT, I DON'T DOUBT FOR A
SECOND THAT HE CHEATED.
THEY ARE EQUATING ME AND
SOMETHING THEY THINK I'VE DONE
OR SAID WITH GUYS WHO
WILLINGLY, LANCE ARMSTRONG
DESTROYED OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.
WE ARE ON THE SAME MORAL TURF
SOMEHOW.
MY DAD TOLD ME DON'T EVER LIVE
YOUR LIFE TRYING TO PLEASE
PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW.
I'VE LIVED THAT.
YOU CAN LOOK AT 22 YEARS OF MY
CAREER AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN
INCIDENT WITH A TEAMMATE.
NOT A SERIOUS INCIDENT, EVERY
DAY YOU HAVE FANS, YOUR
CLUBHOUSE GUYS,.
>> ISN'T THIS WHAT THEY DO TO
CONSERVATIVES, GENERALLY.
>> WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES BEFORE HE
DECIDED TO RUN, BEFORE HE WAS
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES, THE LIBERALS LOVED
HIM, THE MEDIA LOVED HIM.
HOLLYWOOD LOVED HIM AND HE
COULDN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD
THINGS ABOUT HIM.
THEY TOOK HIS MONEY INTONATION
AND THEY MADE MONEY OFF HIS
PROGRAM.
ALL WAS WELL AND GOOD.
THEN HE DECIDED TO RUN FOR
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW HE'S
HITLER, HE'S STALIN, HE'S A
THOUSAND THINGS THEY SAID.
>> I WOULD ARGUE PROBABLY THE
SAME REASON YOU HAVE A HARD
TIME GETTING A LIBERAL TO SIT
IN THIS CHAIR.
THE SECOND, I WILL CONVERSE
AND DEBATE ANYBODY.
I AM (I WOULD LISTEN TO ANYONE
THAT CAN HELP MAKE ME BETTER.
THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE IS THE
SAME.
I WILL TALK TO ANYBODY ABOUT
ANYTHING.
MILITARY IS MY HISTORY OUTSIDE
OF SPORTS.
IT'S MY PASSION.
I HAVE A STACK OF BOOKS NEXT
TO MY BED.
I READ ABOUT A BOOK AT NIGHT.
I FIND SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW
AND THEN I'LL READ IT.
THE BOOK IS JUST SOMEONE
ELSE'S INTERPRETATION OF
SOMETHING THAT I CAN LOOK UP
MYSELF.
I WANT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES
AND VIEWPOINTS.
ESPECIALLY WHERE WE ARE NOW.
LOOK AT WHERE THIS COUNTRY IS
NOW.
>> WHERE IS THIS COUNTRY NOW
BE MET AS CONSERVATIVES WE ARE
UP AGAINST A GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO DON'T HAVE ANY
FORETHOUGHT, WHO DON'T THINK
AHEAD.
YOU CAN'T, IN ANY REALISTIC
SCENARIO, IN THE REAL WORLD,
PLAY OUT THE SOCIALISTS DREAM
AND COME TO A CONCLUSION THAT
BENEFITS THE PEOPLE.
IT'S NEVER WORKED ANYWHERE.
THERE'S NO EXAMPLE WHERE YOU
CAN SAY, POINT TO SCANDINAVIA
OR ALL THE OTHER THINGS, THEY
DON'T REALIZE THAT IT DOESN'T
SCALE.
THERE ARE SIX OR 10 MILLION
PEOPLE IN THOSE COUNTRIES
COMBINED.
WE HAVE OVER 300 MILLION
PEOPLE AND HOW MANY TENS OF
MILLIONS AREN'T EVEN IN THE
SYSTEM.
IT DOESN'T WORK.
AND SO, YOU LOOK AT A
GENERATION, MY KIDS ARE
BETWEEN 16 AND 22.
THEY ARE IN COLLEGE AND
THEY'RE PRETTY CONSERVATIVE.
THEY ARE LISTENING TO LIBERAL
PROFESSORS AND THEY WILL TEXT
ME AND MY SON HAS ONE
PROFESSOR WHO SAYS I DON'T
WANT YOU TO TAKE WHAT I SAY AT
FACE VALUE, I WANT YOU TO
CHALLENGE ME WHICH IS THE
FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD
ANYONE LEFT TO CENTER SAY
THAT.
>> YOU THINK THAT COUNTRY IS
MOVING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
BECAUSE OF THE SOCIAL PRESSURE
THAT'S IN PLACE IN OUR SCHOOLS
AND SOCIETY AND THE MEDIA,
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A
PUSHBACK, THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES AND OTHER
CONSERVATIVE.
>> HERE'S THE THING.
YOU KNOW WHERE WE ARE RIGHT
NOW.
YOU'RE KIND OF IN THE EYE OF
THE STORM GIVEN YOUR INFLUENCE
ON PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT FROM
THOSE WHO COME FROM THE RIGHT
AND THAT MEANS YOUR ON
TARGET.
TRUMP IS GONNA WIN 2020.
THERE'S NO FEASIBLE WAY UNLESS
THE RUSSIANS AND DEMOCRATS GET
TOGETHER AGAIN AND TRY TO RIG
ANOTHER ELECTION BUT HE WINS
IN 2020.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SUDDENLY
SCALE BACK.
THEY WILL BE UP A BUCKET MORE
SO THAN THEY ARE NOW MEANT YOU
DON'T THINK IT ENDS WELL.
>> IT CAN'T BECAUSE THE LEFT
HAS PROVEN THEY WON'T LET IT
END UNTIL THEY GET THEIR WAY.
>> AND THAT'S THE EXAMPLE ON
THE WALL.
THE WALL IS A GREAT EXAMPLE.
BACK WHEN THEY WERE LOVING
TRUMP, THEY WERE ALSO FUNDING
A WALL BECAUSE YOU CAN GO BACK
TO THE SOUNDBITES OF OBAMA AND
CLINTON AND EVERYBODY SANG
WHEN HE DOES, WE NEED BORDER
SECURITY, AND ALSO BUT HATE IT
THEY ONLY HATED BECAUSE
PRESIDENT TRUMP ONCE IT.
>> I FEEL GOOD, HE'S NOT GOING
TO GIVEN, HE'S NOT CAN END THE
SHUTDOWN UNTIL HE GETS HIS
MONEY.
>> DESCRIBED APPLICABLE PARTY
THAT PUTS POWER BEFORE COUNTRY
BECAUSE WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD
THEY CHANGE THEIR POSITION.
EVERYONE KNOWS IT'S A BAD
THING FOR DRUGS AND DRUG
RUNNERS TO COME INTO THE
COUNTRY.
EVERYBODY KNOWS WE NEED TO
KNOW WHAT'S COMING INTO THE
COUNTRY.
THEY REJECT IT BECAUSE IT'S
BAD FOR THEIR OWN CLINICAL
FORTUNE.
THEY HAVE A PROPAGANDA
MACHINE.
CNN AND MSNBC AND NEW YORK
TIMES
TMES
TIMS
TIMES, DAY IN, DAY OUT.
WERE TALKING ABOUT YOUR KIDS,
THEY HAVE ACADEMIA IN THEIR
BACK POCKET WITH TENURED
PROFESSORS WHO ARE MOSTLY
HARD-CORE LEFT-WING.
MUCH LIKE HUMAN SPORTS,
LEFTISTS IN SPORTS CAN DO
PRETTY MUCH WHAT THEY WANT.
CONSERVATIVES IN SPORTS HAVE
TO BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE
EVEN THE SPORTS MEDIA IS GOING
LEFT-WING.
>> THERE'S NO BETTER EXAMPLE
IN THE LAST NINE YEARS, TWO
ATHLETES HAVE BEEN PRETTY
MUCH, TIM THOMAS CARRIED THEM
AND DID NOT GO TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
HE'S LIKE WALMART, HE WHO MUST
NOT BE NAMED.
HE CARRIED THE BRUINS AND HE
WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER.
THE PATRIOTS HAVE REFUSED TO
GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
I CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE FOR THOSE
PEOPLE.
THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO LIKE
YOU.
THERE'S A CERTAIN PART OF THE
WORLD WHO JUST DOESN'T LIKE
YOU FOR WHATEVER REASON.
THE REASON THEY DON'T LIKE ME
HAS TO DO WITH CHARACTER AND
INTEGRITY AND MORALS AND
ETHICS AND HONOR AND ALL THE
THINGS MY DAD TAUGHT ME TO IT
BELIEVE.
WE WERE TALKING EARLIER, ONE
OF THE MOST POWERFUL LESSONS
IN MY LIFE WAS ROGER CLEMENS
PULLING ME ASIDE, MY DAD
PASSED AWAY BEFORE I MADE MY
MAJOR-LEAGUE DEBUT SO HE NEVER
SAW ANY OF THIS.
>> NOT FROM GROUND LEVEL,
ANYWAY.
BUT ROGER TOLD ME WHEN YOU
WALK OUT ON THE FIELD, THE
NAME ON THE BACK YOUR JERSEY,
THAT'S NOT YOUR NAME, THAT'S
YOUR FATHER'S NAME, NEVER
FORGOT THAT.
I LEFT A TICKET FOR MY DAD
EVERY GAME I EVER PLAYED
BECAUSE I WANTED AN EMPTY SEAT
IN THE STADIUM WHICH DURING
THE WORLD SERIES SO HE KNEW I
NEVER FORGOT ABOUT HIM.
>> THAT WOULD BE A TOUGH PLACE
TO RUN.
>> THAT'S WHY CHOSE BOSTON
OVER NEW YORK TO PLAY.
IF I WENT TO NEW YORK AND HELP
THE WOMEN, IF I GO TO BOSTON
AND HELP BREAK THE CURSE OR
WHATEVER THEY CALL IT, I WANT
THE CHALLENGE.
IT TURNED OUT TO BE PARTIALLY
A GREAT THING.
I GOT WHAT I ASKED FOR.
>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE
LEFT HAS DONE TO PEOPLE THAT
THEY DON'T LIKE, ESPECIALLY
POLITICIANS AND LOOK AT
CONSERVATIVES AND CHILDREN ARE
NOW IN PLACE FOR THE MEDIA, MY
FAMILY DOESN'T DESERVE THAT,
THEY SPENT 20 YEARS FOLLOWING
ME AROUND AND I'M NOT GOING TO
SUBJECT THEM TO THAT.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT,
YOUR VIEW OF PHILOSOPHY AND
SPORTS, FOLKS DON'T FORGET TO
JOIN US ALMOST EVERY WEEKNIGHT
ON LIVE-IN TV.
