President Joe Biden mumble 4 00:00:23,217 --> 00:00:25,497 Speaker 1: his way through an interview with Late night ABC host 5 00:00:25,577 --> 00:00:29,177 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel last night or nearly twenty five minutes. Biden 6 00:00:29,257 --> 00:00:33,137 Speaker 1: fielded some softball questions from the clearly Democrat aligned host, 7 00:00:33,737 --> 00:00:37,137 Speaker 1: gave answers that range from incoherent to utter nonsense. We'll 8 00:00:37,137 --> 00:00:38,857 Speaker 1: take a look at what's really going on in the 9 00:00:38,897 --> 00:00:45,457 Speaker 1: state of the Biden presidency in tonight's hold the one. 10 00:00:48,137 --> 00:00:50,297 Speaker 1: Welcome to hold the line. I'm Buck Sexton. Look, we 11 00:00:50,377 --> 00:00:52,497 Speaker 1: got a mentorm coming up. That's the good news, all right, 12 00:00:52,497 --> 00:00:54,297 Speaker 1: So there'll be an opportunity for the American people to 13 00:00:54,377 --> 00:00:59,337 Speaker 1: pass judgment on the politicians who have been in charge, 14 00:00:59,377 --> 00:01:01,497 Speaker 1: the political party that has been calling the shots for 15 00:01:02,097 --> 00:01:04,617 Speaker 1: the last eighteen months going on two years here. So 16 00:01:04,657 --> 00:01:07,457 Speaker 1: that's the good news. So we always like to be 17 00:01:08,057 --> 00:01:12,657 Speaker 1: positive and forward leading or possible. The bad news is 18 00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:15,857 Speaker 1: that the imbeciles are still in charge for the foreseeable future. 19 00:01:15,937 --> 00:01:18,337 Speaker 1: Joe Biden the people around him are calling the shots 20 00:01:18,337 --> 00:01:22,937 Speaker 1: for this country. Not working out well. And this is reflected, 21 00:01:22,977 --> 00:01:31,617 Speaker 1: of course, in the realities of the various Biden administration disasters, failures, catastrophes, 22 00:01:32,017 --> 00:01:35,777 Speaker 1: annoying situations that are playing out, and also in the 23 00:01:35,817 --> 00:01:38,537 Speaker 1: poll numbers, because turns out the American people are actually 24 00:01:38,537 --> 00:01:42,737 Speaker 1: seeing themselves that Biden is not good at this. So 25 00:01:42,857 --> 00:01:45,937 Speaker 1: Biden's on it's keeping mind hadn't done an interview in 26 00:01:45,977 --> 00:01:49,457 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one days, so it's been four 27 00:01:49,497 --> 00:01:52,377 Speaker 1: months since this guy actually sat down for an interview 28 00:01:52,377 --> 00:01:55,857 Speaker 1: with anybody. And not that I think that the three 29 00:01:55,977 --> 00:02:00,577 Speaker 1: letter news networks ABC or something is so great if 30 00:02:00,577 --> 00:02:02,577 Speaker 1: he sat down with Evening News or World News Tonight 31 00:02:02,657 --> 00:02:07,737 Speaker 1: or whatever, but at least there's some theoretical journalism that 32 00:02:07,777 --> 00:02:12,137 Speaker 1: would be on display. Instead, he goes to the easiest 33 00:02:12,137 --> 00:02:15,297 Speaker 1: thing possible, which is a late night host, in this 34 00:02:15,337 --> 00:02:18,177 Speaker 1: case Jimmy Kimmel, who seems like a smartie fellow and 35 00:02:18,337 --> 00:02:23,257 Speaker 1: certainly has the understanding of politics you'd expect from say 36 00:02:23,297 --> 00:02:27,097 Speaker 1: a fifth or sixth grader, not exactly an expert in civics, 37 00:02:27,097 --> 00:02:30,937 Speaker 1: certainly not in the law, firearms, or any policy thing 38 00:02:30,977 --> 00:02:34,137 Speaker 1: that was discussed last night. But the poll numbers are 39 00:02:34,137 --> 00:02:36,297 Speaker 1: shown that the American people think that Biden is just 40 00:02:36,377 --> 00:02:41,777 Speaker 1: doing a crap lousy job, and he blamed the media 41 00:02:41,857 --> 00:02:45,217 Speaker 1: in fact, for those low poll numbers. Watched. There's a 42 00:02:45,217 --> 00:02:48,617 Speaker 1: lot of major things we've done, but what we haven't 43 00:02:48,657 --> 00:02:51,537 Speaker 1: done is we haven't been able to communicate it in 44 00:02:51,537 --> 00:02:56,337 Speaker 1: a way that is make me say another way, we'll 45 00:02:56,337 --> 00:02:58,457 Speaker 1: see that's kind of perfect. Yeah, well I've been able 46 00:02:58,457 --> 00:03:02,097 Speaker 1: to communicate. Look how the press has changed. Look how 47 00:03:02,097 --> 00:03:04,617 Speaker 1: the pressure it has changed. Oh listen, get I know, 48 00:03:04,697 --> 00:03:07,337 Speaker 1: you get, you overstand it. You don't just understand, you 49 00:03:07,377 --> 00:03:11,617 Speaker 1: overstand it. But here's the deal. One of the things 50 00:03:11,777 --> 00:03:18,017 Speaker 1: is that it's very difficult now to have a even 51 00:03:18,737 --> 00:03:22,097 Speaker 1: with notable exceptions, even they're really good reporters, they have 52 00:03:22,177 --> 00:03:25,577 Speaker 1: to get the number clicks on the unnightly news. So 53 00:03:25,657 --> 00:03:29,217 Speaker 1: instead of asking a question anyway, it's just everything gets 54 00:03:30,057 --> 00:03:33,937 Speaker 1: gets sensationalized in ways. But I'm convinced we can get 55 00:03:33,937 --> 00:03:37,457 Speaker 1: through this. We have to get through it. I mean, really, 56 00:03:37,457 --> 00:03:40,137 Speaker 1: what the hell is he saying? Just think about that 57 00:03:40,217 --> 00:03:44,817 Speaker 1: for a second. This guy's whole job is talking. Really, 58 00:03:44,897 --> 00:03:46,777 Speaker 1: that's it. He doesn't know anything. He has no skill 59 00:03:46,817 --> 00:03:51,057 Speaker 1: set beyond just communicating, and he's the president of the 60 00:03:51,097 --> 00:03:54,137 Speaker 1: United States. He does have a lot of power. And 61 00:03:54,337 --> 00:03:56,577 Speaker 1: I can't tell you what he thought he was saying 62 00:03:56,577 --> 00:04:01,457 Speaker 1: there that the media is insufficiently in his corner. Does 63 00:04:01,457 --> 00:04:03,217 Speaker 1: he really say that with a straight face? Does he 64 00:04:03,257 --> 00:04:05,097 Speaker 1: think that that's something that he can get away with 65 00:04:06,057 --> 00:04:09,937 Speaker 1: with anybody who has even the faintest connection to reality. 66 00:04:10,577 --> 00:04:12,537 Speaker 1: But there were other things to the Biden said that 67 00:04:12,617 --> 00:04:15,697 Speaker 1: just left a lot of people saying, wait, what exactly, sir, 68 00:04:15,737 --> 00:04:18,857 Speaker 1: are you talking about here? He is saying something about 69 00:04:19,417 --> 00:04:24,617 Speaker 1: biracial couples on TV and healthcare. Watch. No, I'm sorist. 70 00:04:24,617 --> 00:04:26,857 Speaker 1: They sell it to that. Yeah, no, I'm serious. You 71 00:04:26,977 --> 00:04:28,937 Speaker 1: turn on the TV, look at the ads. When's the 72 00:04:29,017 --> 00:04:32,097 Speaker 1: last time you saw biracial couples on TV? When's the 73 00:04:32,177 --> 00:04:34,857 Speaker 1: last time you saw the way? I mean, people are 74 00:04:34,857 --> 00:04:38,097 Speaker 1: selling products. They do ads to sell products, and they 75 00:04:38,097 --> 00:04:41,257 Speaker 1: sell products when people, they appeal to people. This generation 76 00:04:41,417 --> 00:04:43,777 Speaker 1: is going to change everything. We just got to make 77 00:04:43,817 --> 00:04:47,337 Speaker 1: sure we don't give up. There's an ability for us 78 00:04:47,337 --> 00:04:57,217 Speaker 1: to do everything from increase the access to education healthcare. Again, honestly, 79 00:04:58,177 --> 00:05:01,417 Speaker 1: what is he saying? Was he saying that we don't 80 00:05:01,457 --> 00:05:05,697 Speaker 1: see enough biracial couples on TV? Because I think we 81 00:05:05,737 --> 00:05:09,857 Speaker 1: actually see a lot of diversity, including biracial couples on television. 82 00:05:10,617 --> 00:05:13,137 Speaker 1: But he was saying that was we were celebrating that, 83 00:05:13,297 --> 00:05:17,137 Speaker 1: but what are we then? What is he talking about it? 84 00:05:17,737 --> 00:05:20,897 Speaker 1: It didn't hold together. It's not clear what this guy's 85 00:05:20,897 --> 00:05:22,737 Speaker 1: saying at all. But you know, hey, who cares. He's 86 00:05:22,737 --> 00:05:26,137 Speaker 1: the president, right And then of course he had some 87 00:05:26,257 --> 00:05:30,257 Speaker 1: nasty partisan moments because when you can't do your job, well, 88 00:05:30,257 --> 00:05:32,217 Speaker 1: what's the best thing you can come up with? Attack 89 00:05:32,257 --> 00:05:35,257 Speaker 1: other people who don't have that job aren't in power. 90 00:05:36,457 --> 00:05:38,417 Speaker 1: On the issue of gun control, as we know, the 91 00:05:38,537 --> 00:05:43,697 Speaker 1: Democrats are very emotionally energized. They keep shouting at everybody 92 00:05:43,697 --> 00:05:45,977 Speaker 1: to do something, and we say, okay, what do you 93 00:05:45,977 --> 00:05:48,937 Speaker 1: want to do? And then they say something usually that 94 00:05:49,057 --> 00:05:53,297 Speaker 1: makes no sense, that wouldn't help, that's a distraction from 95 00:05:53,337 --> 00:05:55,857 Speaker 1: the real issues of gun violence. And then they just 96 00:05:55,937 --> 00:05:57,977 Speaker 1: keep shouting that you need to do something. When you 97 00:05:58,017 --> 00:06:03,417 Speaker 1: say this isn't really going to help anything. Biden claimed that, 98 00:06:03,577 --> 00:06:06,737 Speaker 1: you know, he's issuing executive orders, but he's not going 99 00:06:06,777 --> 00:06:08,817 Speaker 1: to issue that man executive orders because he doesn't want 100 00:06:08,817 --> 00:06:12,937 Speaker 1: to emulate Trump. This was again, what is he saying? 101 00:06:13,017 --> 00:06:16,617 Speaker 1: Watch can't you issue an executive order? Trump passed those 102 00:06:16,657 --> 00:06:23,577 Speaker 1: out like Halloween cann Well. I've had issued executive orders 103 00:06:23,577 --> 00:06:25,817 Speaker 1: within the power of the presidency to be able to 104 00:06:25,857 --> 00:06:29,897 Speaker 1: deal with these everything having to do with guns, gun ownership, 105 00:06:30,297 --> 00:06:32,697 Speaker 1: whether or not you have to have a waiting, all 106 00:06:32,777 --> 00:06:35,177 Speaker 1: the things that within my power. But what I don't 107 00:06:35,177 --> 00:06:37,217 Speaker 1: want to do, and I'm not being facetious, I don't 108 00:06:37,217 --> 00:06:42,857 Speaker 1: want to emulate Trump's abuse at the Constitution. Oh and 109 00:06:42,977 --> 00:06:45,537 Speaker 1: Trump was giving out like candy again. Jimmy Kimmel has 110 00:06:45,577 --> 00:06:49,697 Speaker 1: a fifth grade, fifth grade child's understanding of politics. But 111 00:06:49,737 --> 00:06:52,217 Speaker 1: you know, he's paid millions of dollars to you know, 112 00:06:52,417 --> 00:07:00,097 Speaker 1: basically make glorifly glorified flatulence jokes on television. And here 113 00:07:00,137 --> 00:07:02,097 Speaker 1: we are now being told by Biden that he doesn't 114 00:07:02,097 --> 00:07:04,977 Speaker 1: want to be like Trump in the use of executive orders. 115 00:07:04,977 --> 00:07:07,777 Speaker 1: It turns out Biden's actually issued more executive orders and 116 00:07:07,857 --> 00:07:09,537 Speaker 1: at a faster rate than Trump at this point of 117 00:07:09,577 --> 00:07:12,337 Speaker 1: Trump's presidency. And Biden has also been blocked and overturned 118 00:07:12,337 --> 00:07:16,497 Speaker 1: in the courts on a variety of executive orders. And 119 00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:19,337 Speaker 1: by the way, they wanted to do that whole executive 120 00:07:19,417 --> 00:07:25,457 Speaker 1: order effectively, or that bureaucratic lawmaking maneuver. It's not really 121 00:07:25,537 --> 00:07:27,817 Speaker 1: lawmaking where they were going to make everybody get a 122 00:07:27,817 --> 00:07:30,217 Speaker 1: shot that had one hundred and more employees. Remember that 123 00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,857 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court was like, no, you can't actually do that. 124 00:07:33,137 --> 00:07:35,817 Speaker 1: You can actually get away with that. Biden also, by 125 00:07:35,817 --> 00:07:37,697 Speaker 1: the way, because the economy stinks, and he knows that's 126 00:07:37,697 --> 00:07:42,217 Speaker 1: a huge political risk, a huge political liability for his 127 00:07:42,257 --> 00:07:45,057 Speaker 1: team going forward, is trying to tell everybody that the 128 00:07:45,097 --> 00:07:48,817 Speaker 1: economy is growing really fast, fastest growing in the world. Watch, look, 129 00:07:49,377 --> 00:07:52,537 Speaker 1: here's who we are. We have the fastest growing economy 130 00:07:52,617 --> 00:07:58,177 Speaker 1: in the world, the world, the world. Why is he 131 00:07:58,217 --> 00:08:01,537 Speaker 1: repeating the world? Also, US economy shrank last quarter, and 132 00:08:01,577 --> 00:08:03,737 Speaker 1: if it shrinks again, we're in what's called a recession. 133 00:08:04,777 --> 00:08:08,697 Speaker 1: But that's also in what's called reality, which is not 134 00:08:09,217 --> 00:08:13,937 Speaker 1: the place where Obiden lives. He also spoke about remember 135 00:08:13,937 --> 00:08:16,897 Speaker 1: the President United States, he wants gun control, spoke about 136 00:08:16,897 --> 00:08:19,457 Speaker 1: those three hundred round magazines that we have to worry about. 137 00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:23,137 Speaker 1: Why you've got to make sure that this becomes a 138 00:08:23,257 --> 00:08:26,097 Speaker 1: voting issue. It's got to be one of those issues 139 00:08:26,097 --> 00:08:29,537 Speaker 1: where you decide your position on the issue senator or 140 00:08:29,777 --> 00:08:33,217 Speaker 1: candidate for House or Senate on what we're going to 141 00:08:33,297 --> 00:08:36,217 Speaker 1: do on us with assault weapons, and maybe you'll have 142 00:08:36,257 --> 00:08:40,057 Speaker 1: three hundred rounds and a magazine, and I mean what 143 00:08:40,217 --> 00:08:42,137 Speaker 1: you say on those things going to determine how I'm 144 00:08:42,137 --> 00:08:45,697 Speaker 1: going to vote for you. Yeah, I want to see 145 00:08:45,697 --> 00:08:47,697 Speaker 1: some of these three hundred round magazines that he's so 146 00:08:47,737 --> 00:08:51,217 Speaker 1: concerned about.

There weren't a lot 189 00:11:12,777 --> 00:11:15,377 Speaker 1: of laughs, but a lot of nonsensical rambling for sure, 190 00:11:15,497 --> 00:11:17,577 Speaker 1: from President Joe Biden last night on the set of 191 00:11:17,657 --> 00:11:21,457 Speaker 1: late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Alive. At one point, 192 00:11:21,457 --> 00:11:24,297 Speaker 1: Biden called inflation the bane of our existence, saying that 193 00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:27,457 Speaker 1: high food and gas prices could be offset by legislation 194 00:11:27,977 --> 00:11:31,697 Speaker 1: lowering the costs of prescription drugs and childcare. Really, like 195 00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:37,377 Speaker 1: a look, Inflation is the is the bane of our existence. 196 00:11:38,017 --> 00:11:43,537 Speaker 1: Inflation is mostly in food and in gasoline at the pump. 197 00:11:43,657 --> 00:11:46,417 Speaker 1: That's what kills you. Because it's a little billboard telling 198 00:11:46,457 --> 00:11:49,857 Speaker 1: everyone every how expensive everything is. But here's a deal. 199 00:11:50,457 --> 00:11:53,977 Speaker 1: You know, my dad, you say, every family is a 200 00:11:54,017 --> 00:11:56,777 Speaker 1: little bit of breathing room if you take and look 201 00:11:56,777 --> 00:11:58,937 Speaker 1: at all the costs that a family has on a 202 00:11:59,017 --> 00:12:04,457 Speaker 1: monthly basis. It also includes healthcare, prescription drugs, childcare, all 203 00:12:04,497 --> 00:12:06,897 Speaker 1: those things. When I'm proposing we get and I think 204 00:12:06,897 --> 00:12:09,337 Speaker 1: we can get it done, I'm proposing that we in 205 00:12:09,377 --> 00:12:14,057 Speaker 1: fact reduce the cost of those things. Join me now 206 00:12:14,177 --> 00:12:16,777 Speaker 1: with reaction commis and author David Marcus, David, good to 207 00:12:16,777 --> 00:12:21,177 Speaker 1: see you. Thanks for having me buck one twenty one days, 208 00:12:21,177 --> 00:12:24,257 Speaker 1: no interviews. This is the performance that he gives, This 209 00:12:24,337 --> 00:12:29,137 Speaker 1: is the venue he chooses. What do you think you know? 210 00:12:29,177 --> 00:12:31,817 Speaker 1: When he talks about gas prices. There's a there's a 211 00:12:31,817 --> 00:12:36,537 Speaker 1: great Woody Allen short story called If the Impressionists Were 212 00:12:36,657 --> 00:12:39,857 Speaker 1: Dentists Right, And at one point in it, Vincent van Gogh, 213 00:12:39,937 --> 00:12:43,057 Speaker 1: as a dentist, is writing through his brother Theo, and 214 00:12:43,097 --> 00:12:47,257 Speaker 1: he says, I'm being sued by missus Saul Swimmer because 215 00:12:47,337 --> 00:12:51,097 Speaker 1: I built her bridge as I felt it not to 216 00:12:51,137 --> 00:12:55,657 Speaker 1: fit her ridiculous mouth. That's how the Biden administration treats 217 00:12:55,857 --> 00:12:59,417 Speaker 1: the American people. They deeply feel that we need to 218 00:12:59,417 --> 00:13:02,657 Speaker 1: get off gas. We need to get off of the 219 00:13:02,777 --> 00:13:05,857 Speaker 1: fossil fuels. Everyone needs an electric vehicle. If you have 220 00:13:05,937 --> 00:13:08,217 Speaker 1: the money for it, they'll even kick in a few bucks. 221 00:13:08,977 --> 00:13:12,497 Speaker 1: The problem is that, no matter how deeply they feel this, 222 00:13:13,137 --> 00:13:17,177 Speaker 1: it doesn't fit the American lifestyle. Americans can't chew with 223 00:13:17,217 --> 00:13:20,377 Speaker 1: this bridge in their mouth. They can't afford gas, they 224 00:13:20,417 --> 00:13:23,217 Speaker 1: can't get to work. And it would be bad enough 225 00:13:24,057 --> 00:13:26,497 Speaker 1: if the Biden administration didn't have an answer to this, 226 00:13:26,577 --> 00:13:28,737 Speaker 1: but they do seem to have an answer, and their 227 00:13:28,777 --> 00:13:32,017 Speaker 1: answer seems to be shut up and suffer. We're saving 228 00:13:32,057 --> 00:13:34,737 Speaker 1: the planet. Ober I don't know what to do with 229 00:13:34,777 --> 00:13:37,737 Speaker 1: that bug. Yeah, it's amazing to me that they want 230 00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:42,937 Speaker 1: us to simultaneously believe that climate change is an existential 231 00:13:42,977 --> 00:13:45,177 Speaker 1: threat and therefore we have to have an all of 232 00:13:45,217 --> 00:13:51,137 Speaker 1: the above approach emergency measures. Fossil fuel economy. The fossil 233 00:13:51,137 --> 00:13:54,177 Speaker 1: fuel economy is obviously an enormous contributor to the CEO 234 00:13:54,297 --> 00:13:57,817 Speaker 1: two that they think, I would argue, obviously quite wrongly, 235 00:13:57,897 --> 00:14:00,737 Speaker 1: is going to destroy the planet in a matter of decades. 236 00:14:01,737 --> 00:14:03,937 Speaker 1: But then they also turn and say, well, but we 237 00:14:04,017 --> 00:14:06,217 Speaker 1: don't do anything to make it harder for the fossil 238 00:14:06,257 --> 00:14:08,977 Speaker 1: fuel industry, well, which is it? And then the next 239 00:14:09,017 --> 00:14:11,777 Speaker 1: day they'll say, well, they're couging you with their price increases. 240 00:14:11,857 --> 00:14:14,297 Speaker 1: So it can't be both, right, It can't be the 241 00:14:14,297 --> 00:14:17,177 Speaker 1: world's gonna end unless we stop using fossil fuels, as 242 00:14:17,217 --> 00:14:19,937 Speaker 1: you know right away. But we have no problem with 243 00:14:19,937 --> 00:14:24,377 Speaker 1: fossil fuels, no, And I mean apparently it's fine as 244 00:14:24,377 --> 00:14:27,177 Speaker 1: long as we're getting it from Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, 245 00:14:27,497 --> 00:14:32,857 Speaker 1: you know, somehow, as long as dictators are producing the 246 00:14:32,977 --> 00:14:36,657 Speaker 1: oil that the climate effects are fine. And look there's 247 00:14:36,657 --> 00:14:41,577 Speaker 1: a logic behind that, right they want Americans to pay 248 00:14:41,577 --> 00:14:47,857 Speaker 1: this price for their wild green New Deal dreams. I mean, 249 00:14:48,257 --> 00:14:51,377 Speaker 1: this is just becoming more and more apparent. And Jimmy 250 00:14:51,457 --> 00:14:54,617 Speaker 1: Kenmell's actually kind of trying to help Joe Biden out there, right, 251 00:14:54,657 --> 00:14:58,977 Speaker 1: He's like, listen, these are billboards. As Americans drive down 252 00:14:58,977 --> 00:15:01,697 Speaker 1: the street, they see this, and it's reminding them, like 253 00:15:01,777 --> 00:15:06,097 Speaker 1: every ten minutes, how bad a job you're doing. But 254 00:15:06,137 --> 00:15:09,377 Speaker 1: there's no adjustment, you know, and don't expect one book. 255 00:15:10,497 --> 00:15:14,657 Speaker 1: You know. Biden knows that the economy is a huge 256 00:15:14,737 --> 00:15:18,537 Speaker 1: drag on his party's fortunes. Right now, going into the 257 00:15:18,537 --> 00:15:20,777 Speaker 1: midterm election season, which we're really going to hit into 258 00:15:20,857 --> 00:15:23,897 Speaker 1: high gear just a few months. And so one of 259 00:15:23,937 --> 00:15:26,057 Speaker 1: the things that they've tried, you know, one day it's 260 00:15:26,057 --> 00:15:29,377 Speaker 1: Putin's price hike. It's not Biden's fault. The next day 261 00:15:29,457 --> 00:15:32,097 Speaker 1: it's actually, the economy is really good. You know, we 262 00:15:32,217 --> 00:15:35,097 Speaker 1: reduced the deficit by a lot. Watch here's where we are. 263 00:15:35,817 --> 00:15:39,657 Speaker 1: We have the fastest growing economy in the world, the world, 264 00:15:40,177 --> 00:15:43,577 Speaker 1: the world. We have eight point six million new jobs 265 00:15:43,577 --> 00:15:46,337 Speaker 1: just since I got into office. Unemployment race down to 266 00:15:46,417 --> 00:15:49,537 Speaker 1: three point six percent. We've reduced a deficit last year 267 00:15:49,577 --> 00:15:51,657 Speaker 1: by three hundred and twenty billion dollars. This year, go 268 00:15:51,657 --> 00:15:56,377 Speaker 1: introduced by one point seven trillion dollars trillion dollars, right, 269 00:15:56,457 --> 00:15:59,897 Speaker 1: And so we're the strongest economy. And that's allowed us 270 00:15:59,897 --> 00:16:03,097 Speaker 1: at least to stay on top of and a little 271 00:16:03,137 --> 00:16:06,497 Speaker 1: bit ahead of what's happening around the world. The economy 272 00:16:06,537 --> 00:16:09,217 Speaker 1: shrank class quarter. We're on the brink of a recession, Bud. 273 00:16:09,297 --> 00:16:11,057 Speaker 1: He's telling us, it's amazing. And oh, by the way, 274 00:16:11,097 --> 00:16:15,977 Speaker 1: comparing deficits this year to deficits when there were literal 275 00:16:16,177 --> 00:16:20,937 Speaker 1: additional trillions of emergency spending because of a once in 276 00:16:20,977 --> 00:16:26,697 Speaker 1: a century pandemic. Doesn't seem very honest. No, But apparently 277 00:16:26,697 --> 00:16:30,617 Speaker 1: it's a it's a communications problem, right, It's it's it's 278 00:16:30,617 --> 00:16:35,137 Speaker 1: not a gas prices problem, it's not an inflation problem, 279 00:16:35,337 --> 00:16:39,537 Speaker 1: it's not a foreign affairs problem. It's a communications problem. 280 00:16:39,577 --> 00:16:42,937 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden goes on Jimmy Kimmel to to try 281 00:16:42,937 --> 00:16:46,537 Speaker 1: to fix it. And you know, you know my favorite 282 00:16:46,577 --> 00:16:50,537 Speaker 1: moment of of of last night's performance. You know, Joe 283 00:16:50,577 --> 00:16:53,817 Speaker 1: Biden is like a it's like a non player character 284 00:16:53,857 --> 00:16:56,057 Speaker 1: in a video game. Now, there's like eight things he's 285 00:16:56,097 --> 00:16:59,577 Speaker 1: still able to say. One of them is his constant 286 00:16:59,657 --> 00:17:03,657 Speaker 1: amazement at interracial or he calls them by racial couples 287 00:17:04,297 --> 00:17:08,857 Speaker 1: in television advertisements, and it's like, yeah, Joe, you know, 288 00:17:08,897 --> 00:17:11,577 Speaker 1: we drink from the same water fountains too. You know, 289 00:17:11,617 --> 00:17:14,297 Speaker 1: I just I imagine Jill's sitting there as they watch 290 00:17:14,377 --> 00:17:17,057 Speaker 1: TV and every commercial break, Joe's just like, oh, she's 291 00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:21,257 Speaker 1: married to a black man. I mean, it's it's it's 292 00:17:21,297 --> 00:17:24,777 Speaker 1: a problem, it's it's he just says the same things, 293 00:17:24,817 --> 00:17:27,177 Speaker 1: a little bit of breathing room, you know, all the 294 00:17:27,177 --> 00:17:29,497 Speaker 1: stuff about boat. He just says the same things over 295 00:17:29,577 --> 00:17:34,097 Speaker 1: and over and I don't know, Buck, it's uh yeah, 296 00:17:34,137 --> 00:17:36,977 Speaker 1: I mean, dude, it all strikes me and David as 297 00:17:36,977 --> 00:17:39,337 Speaker 1: so phony. I mean, I sit there and I know 298 00:17:39,377 --> 00:17:41,857 Speaker 1: it is. He's gonna say, not a joke, and he's 299 00:17:41,857 --> 00:17:44,577 Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm not being facetious. He's gonna say just 300 00:17:44,617 --> 00:17:46,337 Speaker 1: a little bit of breathing room. He's just say, you know, 301 00:17:46,697 --> 00:17:50,617 Speaker 1: folks at the kitchen table. Ye, it's the same freaking 302 00:17:50,777 --> 00:17:55,937 Speaker 1: speech or the same you know lines strewn together every 303 00:17:56,017 --> 00:17:59,097 Speaker 1: day he ever talks about it on any topic, it 304 00:17:59,137 --> 00:18:02,417 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. And it's like this, It's amazing this guy 305 00:18:02,457 --> 00:18:07,057 Speaker 1: got away with this, this total bull crap. I'm good 306 00:18:07,057 --> 00:18:09,617 Speaker 1: old Joe from Scranton with the rolled up sleeves, who 307 00:18:09,657 --> 00:18:12,577 Speaker 1: carries it about the working folks pay in their bills. 308 00:18:13,177 --> 00:18:15,857 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has been a swamp creature for the last 309 00:18:15,937 --> 00:18:19,697 Speaker 1: forty years. He's got a five million dollars beach house 310 00:18:19,697 --> 00:18:23,737 Speaker 1: in Roehobit. He's moron drug addict son got paid like 311 00:18:23,817 --> 00:18:27,417 Speaker 1: eight million dollars by the Chinese Communist Party for promising 312 00:18:27,457 --> 00:18:30,497 Speaker 1: extra access to pop. But he cares so much about 313 00:18:30,537 --> 00:18:32,657 Speaker 1: the guys carrying their lunch pails to work on the 314 00:18:32,657 --> 00:18:38,057 Speaker 1: assembly line who believes this, maybe he's not a moron. Yeah, 315 00:18:39,177 --> 00:18:42,257 Speaker 1: seemed you know, it seems seems like a pretty good payday. Yes, 316 00:18:42,817 --> 00:18:47,577 Speaker 1: I mean, look, this is an old political family that 317 00:18:47,737 --> 00:18:51,457 Speaker 1: you know, this is how this is how old Northeast 318 00:18:51,457 --> 00:18:54,057 Speaker 1: Irish politics used to work. It's a lot of patronage. 319 00:18:54,097 --> 00:18:56,137 Speaker 1: It's a lot of you know, who you can get 320 00:18:56,217 --> 00:19:00,617 Speaker 1: jobs for. It's who Joe Biden has always been. But 321 00:19:00,737 --> 00:19:03,097 Speaker 1: it is it is very amusing now to watch this 322 00:19:03,257 --> 00:19:06,217 Speaker 1: play out on the national stage and have you know, 323 00:19:06,257 --> 00:19:08,897 Speaker 1: outlets like The New York Times and CNN pretend like 324 00:19:09,017 --> 00:19:12,897 Speaker 1: nothing weirds happening here. The approval ratings, by the way, 325 00:19:12,937 --> 00:19:17,337 Speaker 1: Quinnipiac most recent poll here, thirty three percent approval. I 326 00:19:17,337 --> 00:19:21,537 Speaker 1: mean we're getting down now to the hardcore Democrat base, right, 327 00:19:21,537 --> 00:19:25,257 Speaker 1: I mean, once you're anything below thirty and the only 328 00:19:25,337 --> 00:19:29,337 Speaker 1: people that approve are Democrats who would vote for Joe 329 00:19:29,377 --> 00:19:31,977 Speaker 1: Biden if he took his skin off like a suit 330 00:19:32,017 --> 00:19:35,377 Speaker 1: and turned out to be a lizard person from outer space. Yeah, 331 00:19:35,377 --> 00:19:38,297 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not much more popular than COVID. Yeah, 332 00:19:38,297 --> 00:19:41,177 Speaker 1: I mean it's a but but but that's but that's 333 00:19:41,177 --> 00:19:45,377 Speaker 1: the broader point, right, is like under under any other administration, 334 00:19:45,417 --> 00:19:47,017 Speaker 1: there would have been a shift here, there would have 335 00:19:47,057 --> 00:19:50,577 Speaker 1: been an adjustment. This administration doesn't care about Joe Biden. 336 00:19:50,617 --> 00:19:55,337 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was a trojan horse, is absolutely disposable, and 337 00:19:55,377 --> 00:19:58,817 Speaker 1: they will let his numbers run as low as possible, 338 00:19:58,897 --> 00:20:01,257 Speaker 1: as long as they can get, you know, as many 339 00:20:01,337 --> 00:20:04,377 Speaker 1: crazy progressive ideas past the goalie as possible, and they're 340 00:20:04,377 --> 00:20:07,257 Speaker 1: gonna do it. But they're gonna do this student loan thing, right, 341 00:20:07,777 --> 00:20:10,497 Speaker 1: They're gonna get some of this stuff. So you know, look, 342 00:20:10,497 --> 00:20:13,177 Speaker 1: they're not They're not stupid. I'd like to say they're stupid, 343 00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:15,657 Speaker 1: you know, they're not. They're going to get some things. Yeah, 344 00:20:15,777 --> 00:20:18,617 Speaker 1: reckless maybe a better word, but that's where we are. 345 00:20:18,817 --> 00:20:24,497 Speaker 1: David Marcus appreciate it being with us. Thanks Ben. We 346 00:20:24,617 --> 00:20:26,857 Speaker 1: continue to learn more about the would be assassin who 347 00:20:26,937 --> 00:20:29,617 Speaker 1: was arrested outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Cavanaugh. 348 00:20:29,617 --> 00:20:32,297 Speaker 1: Will have the latest on that story with senior editor 349 00:20:32,337 --> 00:20:34,937 Speaker 1: at The Federalist David Harsani coming up. But first, let's 350 00:20:34,937 --> 00:20:36,577 Speaker 1: talk about protecting your home. I don't know if you 351 00:20:36,577 --> 00:20:38,057 Speaker 1: saw this, but there was a recent story about an 352 00:20:38,097 --> 00:20:40,937 Speaker 1: Arizona real estate agent found out the home she lived 353 00:20:40,937 --> 00:20:43,697 Speaker 1: in was listed for sale. Problem was she wasn't actually 354 00:20:43,697 --> 00:20:46,977 Speaker 1: selling her home. She was the victim of home title fraud, 355 00:20:47,297 --> 00:20:50,617 Speaker 1: a devastating crime happening all over the country. Who any 356 00:20:50,617 --> 00:20:52,377 Speaker 1: of the experts at home title lock. The crime is 357 00:20:52,417 --> 00:20:55,977 Speaker 1: incredibly profitable and hard to detect. An identity thief simply 358 00:20:56,017 --> 00:20:58,697 Speaker 1: creates a fake title transfer for your home and refiles 359 00:20:58,697 --> 00:21:00,737 Speaker 1: as the new owner. Then you can take out loans 360 00:21:00,777 --> 00:21:03,697 Speaker 1: on your home or sell it. Typical identity theft services 361 00:21:03,777 --> 00:21:06,777 Speaker 1: don't cover you, and neither there's homeowners insurance. Home title 362 00:21:06,777 --> 00:21:09,217 Speaker 1: lock does. Home title lock puts a barrier around your 363 00:21:09,217 --> 00:21:12,097 Speaker 1: home's title. The instant they detect anyone tampering with their 364 00:21:12,137 --> 00:21:14,217 Speaker 1: home title, they help shut it down and help get 365 00:21:14,217 --> 00:21:16,537 Speaker 1: your home back in your name. Here's what you should do. 366 00:21:16,617 --> 00:21:19,257 Speaker 1: Go to hometitlelock dot com and read the testimonials from 367 00:21:19,297 --> 00:21:22,257 Speaker 1: FBI agents and government officials. Then you register your addres 368 00:21:22,297 --> 00:21:23,857 Speaker 1: to see if you're already a victim and don't even 369 00:21:23,897 --> 00:21:26,017 Speaker 1: know it. When you protect your home, tell him buck 370 00:21:26,017 --> 00:21:28,017 Speaker 1: sex and sent you to get thirty free days of 371 00:21:28,097 --> 00:21:31,737 Speaker 1: protection home titlelock dot com. Again, that's home titlelock dot com. 372 00:21:31,817 --> 00:21:40,337 Speaker 1: David Harsani stops by in a moment. I want to 373 00:21:40,377 --> 00:21:44,537 Speaker 1: tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you 374 00:21:44,697 --> 00:21:49,457 Speaker 1: have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. 375 00:21:53,377 --> 00:21:56,777 Speaker 1: You won't know what hit you if you go forward 376 00:21:56,817 --> 00:22:00,817 Speaker 1: with these awful decisions. That was centator Chuck Schumer back 377 00:22:00,817 --> 00:22:05,297 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, funding an awful lot like he's calling 378 00:22:05,297 --> 00:22:09,137 Speaker 1: for consequences, perhaps even inciting violence against the sitting Supreme 379 00:22:09,177 --> 00:22:14,817 Speaker 1: Court justices. Suspect Nicholas Roski has been arrested fast forward 380 00:22:14,857 --> 00:22:17,777 Speaker 1: of course there's a day and charged with the attempted 381 00:22:17,857 --> 00:22:22,297 Speaker 1: murder or kidnapping of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh. This man 382 00:22:22,377 --> 00:22:25,137 Speaker 1: was arrested less than a block from Kavanaugh's Maryland home 383 00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:28,857 Speaker 1: in possession of a handgun, knife, zip ties, and burglary tools, 384 00:22:29,217 --> 00:22:32,777 Speaker 1: among other things. Roski also made a deranged nine one 385 00:22:32,777 --> 00:22:35,737 Speaker 1: one called the police as a warning before he attempted 386 00:22:35,737 --> 00:22:38,897 Speaker 1: to find the justices home. New York Post reports California 387 00:22:38,937 --> 00:22:41,977 Speaker 1: man was insensive about the League Supreme Court draft opinion, 388 00:22:42,817 --> 00:22:45,657 Speaker 1: and he was arrested near Justice Kavana's Maryland home Wednesday 389 00:22:46,057 --> 00:22:47,857 Speaker 1: after he hatched he planned to kill the jurist to 390 00:22:48,017 --> 00:22:51,817 Speaker 1: quote give his life purpose, join me now discussed Senior 391 00:22:51,857 --> 00:22:54,417 Speaker 1: editor at the Federalist. David or Sanny David, thanks for 392 00:22:54,417 --> 00:22:58,137 Speaker 1: being with us, thanks for having me. So this is 393 00:22:58,417 --> 00:23:02,577 Speaker 1: officially someone arrested for attempted murder of a sitting Supreme 394 00:23:02,577 --> 00:23:06,817 Speaker 1: Court justice. I don't know how much digging around you did, 395 00:23:06,897 --> 00:23:12,977 Speaker 1: David into the Democrat media, but this was covered, if 396 00:23:13,017 --> 00:23:17,457 Speaker 1: at all, as like a page seven midway down the 397 00:23:17,497 --> 00:23:21,017 Speaker 1: fold story in a way, it was pretty shocking. No 398 00:23:21,097 --> 00:23:24,177 Speaker 1: mention of it at all last night on PBS airwaves 399 00:23:24,337 --> 00:23:27,097 Speaker 1: or on PBS's website. It may may have updated it today, 400 00:23:27,337 --> 00:23:31,137 Speaker 1: but this happened yesterday. It was a minor news item 401 00:23:31,497 --> 00:23:33,537 Speaker 1: in either the New York Times a Washington Post. I 402 00:23:33,537 --> 00:23:36,737 Speaker 1: can't remember now which one it was. But if this 403 00:23:36,817 --> 00:23:41,297 Speaker 1: had been let's say, you had a sodamayor under similar 404 00:23:41,337 --> 00:23:44,577 Speaker 1: threat with a pending decision, does anyone think that the 405 00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:46,457 Speaker 1: media wouldn't act like this was the great And by 406 00:23:46,457 --> 00:23:50,177 Speaker 1: the way, it is a grave threat to the institutions 407 00:23:50,177 --> 00:23:53,057 Speaker 1: of our government, but feels like the partisanship is all 408 00:23:53,097 --> 00:23:54,497 Speaker 1: that really matters to a lot of the folks in 409 00:23:54,497 --> 00:23:58,537 Speaker 1: the media. Well, yeah, it doesn't It get tiring to 410 00:23:58,577 --> 00:24:01,497 Speaker 1: always say, imagine if it had been you know, a 411 00:24:01,537 --> 00:24:04,617 Speaker 1: liberal who has happened to you know, or whatever you'd 412 00:24:04,617 --> 00:24:06,657 Speaker 1: have you know, we'd have we'd be in the midst 413 00:24:06,657 --> 00:24:11,257 Speaker 1: of a national conversation about right wing violence. You know, 414 00:24:11,777 --> 00:24:13,577 Speaker 1: it would be front page news. We'd still we talk, 415 00:24:13,657 --> 00:24:16,177 Speaker 1: we'd be talking about it all the time on every 416 00:24:16,217 --> 00:24:19,617 Speaker 1: single cable network. And these people just simply don't care 417 00:24:19,817 --> 00:24:24,257 Speaker 1: because they other people incite and instigate this sort of thing. 418 00:24:24,257 --> 00:24:26,937 Speaker 1: And it's not just I'm not saying that Chuck Schumer 419 00:24:27,137 --> 00:24:30,737 Speaker 1: in you know, is responsible for the actions of a madman, 420 00:24:31,217 --> 00:24:34,577 Speaker 1: but I will say that it's not. It's it's the 421 00:24:34,697 --> 00:24:39,937 Speaker 1: constantly calling people child murderers, fascists, insurrectionists. You're talking about 422 00:24:40,617 --> 00:24:44,417 Speaker 1: people on the right and dehumanizing them. So if I 423 00:24:44,457 --> 00:24:46,937 Speaker 1: thought those things were true that they said, I would 424 00:24:46,977 --> 00:24:48,457 Speaker 1: pick up a gun too. I mean, we'd all want 425 00:24:48,457 --> 00:24:50,697 Speaker 1: to pick up guns. It would be a rational thing 426 00:24:50,697 --> 00:24:52,817 Speaker 1: to do. But it's of course an insidious lie, and 427 00:24:52,897 --> 00:24:55,217 Speaker 1: yet they do it all the time. And it's it's 428 00:24:55,257 --> 00:24:59,377 Speaker 1: just this whole rhetoric that you see on MSNBC that 429 00:24:59,497 --> 00:25:02,057 Speaker 1: now you hear senators. I mean, Chuck Schumer is a 430 00:25:02,137 --> 00:25:04,857 Speaker 1: very powerful man, and the things he said in that clip, 431 00:25:05,217 --> 00:25:10,897 Speaker 1: I mean there's specific threats to specific people. It's just insanity. Yeah, 432 00:25:10,897 --> 00:25:12,817 Speaker 1: I mean to anybody would say, well, oh, he's just 433 00:25:12,857 --> 00:25:17,097 Speaker 1: talking about what political consequences. They have lifetime appointments to 434 00:25:17,137 --> 00:25:20,817 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Well, how are they gonna feel the 435 00:25:20,857 --> 00:25:23,857 Speaker 1: fury of the public for a decision that some leftist 436 00:25:23,937 --> 00:25:26,217 Speaker 1: lunatics don't like. I mean, there's you know, it's not 437 00:25:26,257 --> 00:25:28,897 Speaker 1: like when you're running against somebody in the general election 438 00:25:28,937 --> 00:25:30,897 Speaker 1: you're saying, oh, you know, you're gonna feel the fury 439 00:25:30,937 --> 00:25:33,817 Speaker 1: of at the ballot box, and these are these are judges. 440 00:25:34,017 --> 00:25:36,657 Speaker 1: He did have to step back from that and apologize, 441 00:25:36,697 --> 00:25:40,297 Speaker 1: But I mean, I also can't forgive or forget that 442 00:25:40,417 --> 00:25:44,297 Speaker 1: in the immediate aftermath of the leak of the draft opinion, 443 00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:48,337 Speaker 1: David and the protests outside some of these judges, including 444 00:25:48,377 --> 00:25:53,897 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh's home, which are explicitly clearly illegal under federal statute. 445 00:25:54,017 --> 00:25:56,777 Speaker 1: And as I've explained this to anybody who asks, oh, okay, 446 00:25:56,817 --> 00:25:59,657 Speaker 1: so if I'm being prosecuted, I can hire a mob 447 00:25:59,777 --> 00:26:02,337 Speaker 1: to go stand outside the home of my prosecutor or 448 00:26:02,377 --> 00:26:05,497 Speaker 1: screaming crazy stuff. That's the justice system we think we're 449 00:26:05,537 --> 00:26:09,217 Speaker 1: allowed to have. Jensaki at the time was saying well, 450 00:26:09,257 --> 00:26:11,177 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of stuff that people are 451 00:26:11,257 --> 00:26:14,257 Speaker 1: upset about, So no big deal for these protests outside 452 00:26:14,297 --> 00:26:19,177 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices homes and it's conservative justices. Let's be honest. Yeah, 453 00:26:19,217 --> 00:26:21,377 Speaker 1: of course, I mean they would never let this happen 454 00:26:21,537 --> 00:26:23,977 Speaker 1: to the others. But I'll say that, you know, you 455 00:26:24,057 --> 00:26:26,737 Speaker 1: make a good point. These are lifetime appointments for a reason. 456 00:26:26,897 --> 00:26:31,497 Speaker 1: They're lifetime appointments because we don't want justices pressured by 457 00:26:31,657 --> 00:26:37,377 Speaker 1: by politics, by protests, by picketing. And yet the Senate, 458 00:26:37,657 --> 00:26:40,977 Speaker 1: the Senate leader tells people to go to the president. 459 00:26:41,017 --> 00:26:44,017 Speaker 1: They actually said. I think Saki said like something like, 460 00:26:44,097 --> 00:26:45,977 Speaker 1: you know, it's just part of the process or whatever. 461 00:26:46,017 --> 00:26:49,297 Speaker 1: She said. It was basically encouragement for people to go 462 00:26:49,377 --> 00:26:55,057 Speaker 1: and pressure politically lifetime lifetime judges. I mean, it's it's 463 00:26:55,057 --> 00:26:58,057 Speaker 1: an attack on on separation of power. It's an attack 464 00:26:58,057 --> 00:27:02,097 Speaker 1: on civility and decency. I'm all listen, I'm basically a 465 00:27:02,137 --> 00:27:05,617 Speaker 1: First Amendment, um, you know, absolutist. I mean, if you 466 00:27:05,657 --> 00:27:07,377 Speaker 1: want to, you know, go on the street and yellow 467 00:27:07,417 --> 00:27:11,577 Speaker 1: people you know from you know, decent you know, decent space, 468 00:27:11,657 --> 00:27:14,217 Speaker 1: that's fine by me. But they're but to have our 469 00:27:14,337 --> 00:27:18,217 Speaker 1: leaders to have left wing leaders basically inciting and egging 470 00:27:18,257 --> 00:27:21,137 Speaker 1: on these people. That is completely out of line. And 471 00:27:21,497 --> 00:27:23,017 Speaker 1: you know, and that's why I think part of the 472 00:27:23,057 --> 00:27:25,097 Speaker 1: reason why they don't cover this stuff. You wrote in 473 00:27:25,137 --> 00:27:27,497 Speaker 1: The Federalist, David that normally I wouldn't blame Democrats for 474 00:27:27,537 --> 00:27:31,017 Speaker 1: the actions of extremists. The problem is that not only 475 00:27:31,017 --> 00:27:33,017 Speaker 1: does the left continue to push the boundaries with Schumor 476 00:27:33,097 --> 00:27:35,737 Speaker 1: like threats, but they are engaged in the relentless daily 477 00:27:35,817 --> 00:27:40,137 Speaker 1: smearing of their political opponents as seditious, vote stealing, child murdering, 478 00:27:40,177 --> 00:27:43,777 Speaker 1: fascists and insurgents. If this were true, violence would be justified. 479 00:27:43,777 --> 00:27:46,657 Speaker 1: But it's just a sinister lie. I mean, I do 480 00:27:46,777 --> 00:27:50,457 Speaker 1: think that that we have reached a point now where 481 00:27:50,497 --> 00:27:55,257 Speaker 1: you have the total normalization of from the left, from 482 00:27:55,297 --> 00:27:58,697 Speaker 1: the Democrats, of treating anyone who would cast a vote 483 00:27:58,697 --> 00:28:02,097 Speaker 1: for any Republican as effectively a threat to our government. 484 00:28:02,217 --> 00:28:04,537 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what this whole insurrection thing is all about. 485 00:28:04,697 --> 00:28:08,737 Speaker 1: They don't care about the you know, the very foolish 486 00:28:08,777 --> 00:28:12,897 Speaker 1: and simple mind and you know, in some cases criminal 487 00:28:12,937 --> 00:28:14,977 Speaker 1: depending what they did, people that were actually in the 488 00:28:15,017 --> 00:28:18,097 Speaker 1: capital on January six. It's about everybody. It's about everyone 489 00:28:18,137 --> 00:28:21,857 Speaker 1: whoever casts a vote for a Republican Yeah, have you 490 00:28:21,977 --> 00:28:25,537 Speaker 1: noticed that, you know, I've noticed that people demand that 491 00:28:25,577 --> 00:28:27,817 Speaker 1: I take some kind of ownership of people who went 492 00:28:27,857 --> 00:28:29,897 Speaker 1: into the capital. I don't have anything to do with them. 493 00:28:29,977 --> 00:28:32,617 Speaker 1: I don't agree with what they did. I don't probably 494 00:28:32,657 --> 00:28:35,537 Speaker 1: even agree with their philosophical ideas, if they have any ideas. 495 00:28:35,537 --> 00:28:37,857 Speaker 1: I don't know if they had any. But yet you 496 00:28:37,937 --> 00:28:41,137 Speaker 1: have a person who tries to wipe out Bernie Sanderson, 497 00:28:41,257 --> 00:28:43,817 Speaker 1: tries to wipe out Republican leadership, or you have someone 498 00:28:43,857 --> 00:28:46,377 Speaker 1: showing up someone's house where you have a summer of 499 00:28:46,657 --> 00:28:50,577 Speaker 1: rioting and you know, and murder, and you know, the 500 00:28:50,657 --> 00:28:53,537 Speaker 1: destruction of the lives of thousands of people. And no, 501 00:28:53,737 --> 00:28:56,017 Speaker 1: they don't take any any ownership of that. They don't. 502 00:28:56,097 --> 00:28:58,417 Speaker 1: They just disconnect from it like it has zero to 503 00:28:58,497 --> 00:29:01,137 Speaker 1: do what they're rhetoric. Well it can't. You know, again, 504 00:29:01,177 --> 00:29:02,897 Speaker 1: we're trying, you know, they want us to play by 505 00:29:02,937 --> 00:29:04,857 Speaker 1: two sets of rules, and that you can't have a 506 00:29:04,897 --> 00:29:08,937 Speaker 1: civil society of functioning democratic republic when you have two 507 00:29:08,937 --> 00:29:11,577 Speaker 1: sets of rules where you put you know, when one 508 00:29:11,577 --> 00:29:14,097 Speaker 1: person doesn't show up for a subpoena, you put him 509 00:29:14,097 --> 00:29:16,057 Speaker 1: in shackles and the other guy gets it. You know, 510 00:29:16,417 --> 00:29:19,137 Speaker 1: nothing happens to him. I mean, you just simply can't 511 00:29:19,137 --> 00:29:21,497 Speaker 1: function that way. And that's literally what's happening. I know 512 00:29:21,537 --> 00:29:23,937 Speaker 1: I'm jumping all over, but I think these things are connected. 513 00:29:25,017 --> 00:29:26,537 Speaker 1: Agree with you. By the way, De Santis had a 514 00:29:26,537 --> 00:29:28,937 Speaker 1: good statement in the Kavanaugh threat situation. He said, it 515 00:29:28,977 --> 00:29:30,617 Speaker 1: wasn't even just the fact that this guy was looking 516 00:29:30,617 --> 00:29:33,137 Speaker 1: to murder someone, which is very serious himself, that it 517 00:29:33,217 --> 00:29:36,417 Speaker 1: was being done in service of changing the outcome at 518 00:29:36,417 --> 00:29:39,417 Speaker 1: the judicial branch of government. And that is really really problematic. 519 00:29:39,457 --> 00:29:42,417 Speaker 1: I mean, this is someone who was looking to alter 520 00:29:42,497 --> 00:29:45,897 Speaker 1: the course of this nation through violence, and it's coming 521 00:29:45,897 --> 00:29:48,577 Speaker 1: at a time when Democrats are suggesting that people who 522 00:29:48,617 --> 00:29:52,617 Speaker 1: don't agree with them are a threat to the government itself. Yeah, 523 00:29:52,657 --> 00:29:56,577 Speaker 1: I mean the leak itself, most likely, almost surely was 524 00:29:56,697 --> 00:30:00,537 Speaker 1: meant to put pressure on the justices who might turn 525 00:30:00,617 --> 00:30:04,297 Speaker 1: overturn rov way and the things that, you know, a 526 00:30:04,377 --> 00:30:07,257 Speaker 1: Senate leader standing on the steps of the Scode is 527 00:30:07,377 --> 00:30:12,417 Speaker 1: yelling about consequences, is trying to make them intimidate those judges. 528 00:30:12,497 --> 00:30:15,457 Speaker 1: This is just it's outlandish. I don't even know. Historically speaking, 529 00:30:15,497 --> 00:30:18,097 Speaker 1: a certainly, in modern history, nothing like this has happened. 530 00:30:18,297 --> 00:30:20,577 Speaker 1: I mean, the closest I can think of is when 531 00:30:20,897 --> 00:30:24,617 Speaker 1: Barack Obama sort of braided the Supreme Court for upholding 532 00:30:24,657 --> 00:30:27,377 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. But other than that, I really, I 533 00:30:27,417 --> 00:30:30,977 Speaker 1: really can't think of any comparable situation to this day. 534 00:30:31,097 --> 00:30:36,457 Speaker 1: Appreciate joining us, Thanks for being here. Thank you. A 535 00:30:36,657 --> 00:30:39,577 Speaker 1: joke has led to a civil war breaking out within 536 00:30:39,617 --> 00:30:43,697 Speaker 1: the Washington Posts cubicles, writers publicly slamming the paper on 537 00:30:43,737 --> 00:30:45,497 Speaker 1: one another. We have more on that with the host 538 00:30:45,537 --> 00:30:52,817 Speaker 1: of the First Watch podcast, Steve Krackout coming up. Each morning, 539 00:30:53,017 --> 00:30:55,977 Speaker 1: the president of the United States receives a highly classified 540 00:30:56,017 --> 00:30:59,017 Speaker 1: briefing on the most important issues facing the country. It's 541 00:30:59,017 --> 00:31:02,537 Speaker 1: called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered by 542 00:31:02,577 --> 00:31:05,737 Speaker 1: America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear your 543 00:31:05,857 --> 00:31:09,057 Speaker 1: very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted 544 00:31:09,057 --> 00:31:12,737 Speaker 1: by me Ryan Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 545 00:31:13,097 --> 00:31:15,777 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 546 00:31:15,817 --> 00:31:18,617 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 547 00:31:18,817 --> 00:31:22,217 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 548 00:31:22,217 --> 00:31:33,217 Speaker 1: start your morning. A nasty civil war has broken out 549 00:31:33,217 --> 00:31:36,457 Speaker 1: among writers at the Washington Post. It all started last 550 00:31:36,497 --> 00:31:40,697 Speaker 1: week when Post reporter David Weigel retweeted a joke that read, 551 00:31:41,217 --> 00:31:43,617 Speaker 1: every girl is by you just have to figure out 552 00:31:43,617 --> 00:31:47,897 Speaker 1: if it's polar or sexual. Okay, a bit off color, 553 00:31:48,177 --> 00:31:51,737 Speaker 1: but of course the Twitter mob was quick to react 554 00:31:51,777 --> 00:31:54,657 Speaker 1: to the retweet, and Weigel, who has been suspended for 555 00:31:54,737 --> 00:31:59,497 Speaker 1: a month without pay, was forced to apologize. Enter Felicia Sonmez, 556 00:31:59,617 --> 00:32:03,017 Speaker 1: a Washington Post political reporter who decided to add to 557 00:32:03,017 --> 00:32:05,777 Speaker 1: the pylawn as well as bash the Washington Post itself. 558 00:32:05,817 --> 00:32:09,057 Speaker 1: She tweeted, fantastic to work at a news outlet where 559 00:32:09,097 --> 00:32:13,497 Speaker 1: retweets liked are allowed. Tweets have now led to almost 560 00:32:13,497 --> 00:32:16,817 Speaker 1: a week of open warfare between writers supporting Sonmez and 561 00:32:16,857 --> 00:32:19,697 Speaker 1: others who were coming to the newspapers defense Joey How 562 00:32:19,737 --> 00:32:22,097 Speaker 1: to break this all down? Hosts of the First Watch 563 00:32:22,177 --> 00:32:26,657 Speaker 1: podcast Steve Krakhower, Steve, thanks for being here. Man. Oh fuck, 564 00:32:26,777 --> 00:32:29,977 Speaker 1: this is a good one. Yeah, this is quite a 565 00:32:30,577 --> 00:32:34,777 Speaker 1: quite a melee inside of the bezos Post's what happened? 566 00:32:34,817 --> 00:32:36,977 Speaker 1: I mean, we gave the basic outline, but how'd this 567 00:32:37,097 --> 00:32:40,577 Speaker 1: go down? Yeah? No, And that's that's how it all started. 568 00:32:40,657 --> 00:32:44,737 Speaker 1: On Friday. You know, Dave tweets constantly. I mean, we 569 00:32:44,817 --> 00:32:47,297 Speaker 1: have to preface all of this by saying, it involves 570 00:32:47,337 --> 00:32:49,937 Speaker 1: a lot of people who've been way, way, way too 571 00:32:50,057 --> 00:32:53,737 Speaker 1: much time on their phones on Twitter. Fresh air could 572 00:32:53,777 --> 00:32:56,817 Speaker 1: really solve a lot of problems in this entire war 573 00:32:56,897 --> 00:32:59,977 Speaker 1: that's happening. But Okay, Dave's on there, tweets that joke 574 00:33:00,297 --> 00:33:03,497 Speaker 1: police show, who's been involved actually in a lawsuit with 575 00:33:03,617 --> 00:33:06,777 Speaker 1: The Washington Post, which was recently dismissed but still works there. 576 00:33:07,177 --> 00:33:10,377 Speaker 1: She then goes on and I don't want to like 577 00:33:10,977 --> 00:33:13,417 Speaker 1: there were hundreds of tweets that she has put out 578 00:33:13,497 --> 00:33:16,577 Speaker 1: about this story in the last week. She has just gone, 579 00:33:16,737 --> 00:33:20,457 Speaker 1: you know, scorched earth war against her own paper, and 580 00:33:20,497 --> 00:33:24,297 Speaker 1: they have tried. The new female editor, Sally Buzby, has 581 00:33:24,337 --> 00:33:27,537 Speaker 1: tried multiple times to say, look, we respect what you've done. 582 00:33:27,657 --> 00:33:30,417 Speaker 1: Just spending day wigl you know, for a month without 583 00:33:30,417 --> 00:33:33,337 Speaker 1: paying for a stupid retweet, which he immediately unretweeted and 584 00:33:33,337 --> 00:33:37,537 Speaker 1: apologized for. Not enough. She has been asked. Felicia has 585 00:33:37,577 --> 00:33:42,137 Speaker 1: been asked multiple times to stop arguing about this on Twitter. 586 00:33:42,297 --> 00:33:45,657 Speaker 1: Maybe you know, have a conversation offline about it. No, No, 587 00:33:45,937 --> 00:33:48,897 Speaker 1: that is not happening. And now, as you mentioned, there's 588 00:33:49,137 --> 00:33:51,537 Speaker 1: there are there's these camps that we're seeing right there 589 00:33:51,537 --> 00:33:55,537 Speaker 1: are the people who are saying almost propaganda messages about 590 00:33:55,537 --> 00:33:57,297 Speaker 1: how great it is to work with the humans at 591 00:33:57,297 --> 00:33:59,817 Speaker 1: the Washington Post and all our friends and it's so nice. 592 00:34:00,017 --> 00:34:02,177 Speaker 1: And then Felicia and her friends being like, look at 593 00:34:02,177 --> 00:34:04,777 Speaker 1: these people. All they are are white and entitled, and 594 00:34:04,777 --> 00:34:06,457 Speaker 1: they don't know what it's really like to be at 595 00:34:06,497 --> 00:34:08,377 Speaker 1: the Washingtons. By the way, Felicia is white as well. 596 00:34:08,777 --> 00:34:12,297 Speaker 1: It's a total cluster, and it's it's hilarious from the outside. 597 00:34:12,817 --> 00:34:17,737 Speaker 1: So you had this tweet from one writer, Jose del Rayal, 598 00:34:18,537 --> 00:34:22,297 Speaker 1: accusing Sunmans of cruelty. He tweeted, fighting sexism and misogyny 599 00:34:22,377 --> 00:34:25,057 Speaker 1: matters deeply to me. I will always admire your bravery 600 00:34:25,057 --> 00:34:27,177 Speaker 1: and sharing your story, and I support your fight against 601 00:34:27,177 --> 00:34:30,337 Speaker 1: retribution for doing so entirely. Separately, I hope you reconsider 602 00:34:30,377 --> 00:34:34,337 Speaker 1: the cruelty you regularly unleash against colleague. What was that 603 00:34:34,377 --> 00:34:39,177 Speaker 1: all about. Yeah, Jose Delille, who identified himself in that 604 00:34:39,257 --> 00:34:42,737 Speaker 1: conversation as the only Mexican and by the way, he's 605 00:34:42,897 --> 00:34:46,457 Speaker 1: gay as well on the Washington Post National Debts is 606 00:34:46,497 --> 00:34:50,577 Speaker 1: a Pride month, Felicia went turned her her sights onto him, 607 00:34:50,897 --> 00:34:53,457 Speaker 1: and she just went after him, and she is still 608 00:34:53,497 --> 00:34:56,377 Speaker 1: going after him. He then had to shut down his 609 00:34:56,377 --> 00:35:01,297 Speaker 1: account bocket. And when I tell you that she's not satif, 610 00:35:01,297 --> 00:35:03,177 Speaker 1: I mean she will not be satisfied until this guy, 611 00:35:03,777 --> 00:35:07,257 Speaker 1: this game Mexican colleague of hers is suspended as well 612 00:35:07,377 --> 00:35:11,697 Speaker 1: for daring to challenge her in that way. So yeah, no, no, 613 00:35:12,217 --> 00:35:15,137 Speaker 1: he is now in her sights. There's multiple people that 614 00:35:15,217 --> 00:35:17,777 Speaker 1: she's now taking it out on, including the dozens of 615 00:35:17,817 --> 00:35:20,577 Speaker 1: people that we saw earlier this week tweeting messages of 616 00:35:20,617 --> 00:35:23,137 Speaker 1: support for The Washington Post saying, you know, we're not perfect, 617 00:35:23,177 --> 00:35:24,617 Speaker 1: but we try to get it right and we try 618 00:35:24,657 --> 00:35:27,737 Speaker 1: to be a place for inclusivity. None of that's good enough. 619 00:35:27,817 --> 00:35:31,417 Speaker 1: All those people are Felicia just wants to just knock 620 00:35:31,457 --> 00:35:33,977 Speaker 1: them down one by one, and I don't know what 621 00:35:34,017 --> 00:35:35,977 Speaker 1: you can do. I mean, obviously you could fire Felicia 622 00:35:36,017 --> 00:35:39,017 Speaker 1: and then she will sue the newspaper again. But it's 623 00:35:39,057 --> 00:35:41,937 Speaker 1: an hr nightmare that's playing out on Twitter for everyone 624 00:35:41,977 --> 00:35:44,377 Speaker 1: to see, rather than behind the scenes like a lot 625 00:35:44,377 --> 00:35:46,617 Speaker 1: of these things used to do, or like normal people 626 00:35:46,697 --> 00:35:49,337 Speaker 1: might actually engage with their colleagues in that way behind 627 00:35:49,377 --> 00:35:51,817 Speaker 1: the scenes. I have a problem with this. No, no, Felicia. 628 00:35:51,817 --> 00:35:54,977 Speaker 1: It's all about gaining more and more followers and more 629 00:35:54,977 --> 00:35:56,857 Speaker 1: and more clout that she seems to be getting from 630 00:35:56,897 --> 00:36:01,417 Speaker 1: this whole ordeal. Washington Post executive editor Sally Buzzby, that's 631 00:36:01,417 --> 00:36:03,737 Speaker 1: a memo to the news room. Apparently this week, she wrote, 632 00:36:03,737 --> 00:36:06,457 Speaker 1: we do not tolerate colleagues attacking colleagues, either face to 633 00:36:06,497 --> 00:36:09,857 Speaker 1: face or online. Respect for others as critical to any civils, 634 00:36:10,217 --> 00:36:13,897 Speaker 1: including our newsroom. The newsroom social media policy points specifically 635 00:36:13,937 --> 00:36:17,057 Speaker 1: to the need for collegiality. I have a feeling, though, 636 00:36:17,097 --> 00:36:20,697 Speaker 1: that the collegiality clause that's not going to be enforced 637 00:36:20,737 --> 00:36:22,897 Speaker 1: the same way the you better not be sexist or 638 00:36:22,937 --> 00:36:27,057 Speaker 1: make any jokes I don't like or else clause. No, no, no, 639 00:36:27,137 --> 00:36:30,297 Speaker 1: that if it was being inforced, I think Felicia would 640 00:36:30,337 --> 00:36:32,577 Speaker 1: be no longer included at the Washington Post, or at 641 00:36:32,617 --> 00:36:35,137 Speaker 1: least be suspended, like her buddy Dave, who, by the way, 642 00:36:35,257 --> 00:36:38,177 Speaker 1: she recently shared a byline with. She identified Dave in 643 00:36:38,217 --> 00:36:41,937 Speaker 1: her original tweet storm as a good friend of hers. 644 00:36:42,417 --> 00:36:44,177 Speaker 1: This is what she's done to occurs, and he's a 645 00:36:44,177 --> 00:36:45,617 Speaker 1: good friend of her, and I don't want to make 646 00:36:45,657 --> 00:36:48,577 Speaker 1: it about Felicia sad mess. I mean, look, she obviously 647 00:36:48,937 --> 00:36:51,657 Speaker 1: I think that there's some serious she seems like a 648 00:36:51,697 --> 00:36:53,457 Speaker 1: lunat here. And I'll say, you don't have to say 649 00:36:53,537 --> 00:36:56,537 Speaker 1: she seems like a crazy person. I look at her, 650 00:36:56,577 --> 00:36:59,017 Speaker 1: I look at Taylor Lorenzo, who, by the way, has 651 00:36:59,017 --> 00:37:01,177 Speaker 1: actually stayed mostly out of the fray, but is her 652 00:37:01,217 --> 00:37:05,097 Speaker 1: colleague at the Washington Post, who also constantly gets herselves 653 00:37:05,097 --> 00:37:08,537 Speaker 1: in these in these sort of reality TV journalism wars 654 00:37:08,537 --> 00:37:10,977 Speaker 1: that are happening and playing out on Twitter. It's about 655 00:37:10,977 --> 00:37:13,617 Speaker 1: the Washington Post in there, as you mentioned, their hypocrisy 656 00:37:13,857 --> 00:37:16,657 Speaker 1: in applying the rules. I mean, if you would imagine 657 00:37:16,697 --> 00:37:19,017 Speaker 1: that if Felicia was doing this but she was not 658 00:37:19,097 --> 00:37:21,817 Speaker 1: who she was, and she was Dave Wild or she 659 00:37:21,937 --> 00:37:25,057 Speaker 1: was someone else in the newsroom and just was unrepentant 660 00:37:25,217 --> 00:37:29,017 Speaker 1: about attacking her own colleagues publicly, there would be repercussions. 661 00:37:29,057 --> 00:37:31,737 Speaker 1: But in this case, we're now on day seven of 662 00:37:31,897 --> 00:37:34,377 Speaker 1: this and she's still going. She just keeps going and 663 00:37:34,537 --> 00:37:38,977 Speaker 1: going and going. I definitely have to ask you as well, Steve, 664 00:37:39,017 --> 00:37:43,897 Speaker 1: about the Prime Time January sixth committee presentation tonight. I 665 00:37:43,897 --> 00:37:45,737 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be the greatest show on Earth, 666 00:37:45,777 --> 00:37:48,657 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Democrats are trying to pump this thing 667 00:37:48,737 --> 00:37:51,697 Speaker 1: up like it's the Super Bowl. What are you expecting? 668 00:37:51,857 --> 00:37:56,857 Speaker 1: What's going to happen. The biggest hell in all of 669 00:37:56,857 --> 00:37:59,817 Speaker 1: this is the fact that they have moved a congressional 670 00:37:59,897 --> 00:38:02,497 Speaker 1: hearing from a normal time in the morning or the 671 00:38:02,497 --> 00:38:06,177 Speaker 1: afternoon to primetime eight pm tonight on every channel, and 672 00:38:06,737 --> 00:38:09,257 Speaker 1: they've gone and hired the former head of ABC News, 673 00:38:09,337 --> 00:38:13,137 Speaker 1: James goldst And, to produce this hearing. I mean, it's 674 00:38:13,377 --> 00:38:16,657 Speaker 1: completely absurd and outlandish and so over the top and hyperbolic. 675 00:38:16,697 --> 00:38:19,457 Speaker 1: It's you can imagine that this is what they have 676 00:38:19,497 --> 00:38:21,417 Speaker 1: to do to try to gin up interest in it, 677 00:38:21,617 --> 00:38:24,497 Speaker 1: to try to to you know, make some headlines from it, 678 00:38:24,577 --> 00:38:26,937 Speaker 1: or maybe try to get some some you know, wind 679 00:38:26,977 --> 00:38:29,817 Speaker 1: at the sales of the Democrats twenty twenty two plants. 680 00:38:30,337 --> 00:38:32,617 Speaker 1: I don't expect a lot. Look are we tuning in. 681 00:38:32,657 --> 00:38:35,097 Speaker 1: I'm probably one of the very few people who's interested 682 00:38:35,137 --> 00:38:38,057 Speaker 1: in this from you know, from my job, But I 683 00:38:38,417 --> 00:38:40,697 Speaker 1: just can't imagine we're going to find out much new 684 00:38:40,737 --> 00:38:43,417 Speaker 1: and the most telling things. If we were going to 685 00:38:43,457 --> 00:38:45,737 Speaker 1: find anything new. Shouldn't they have told us already. Why 686 00:38:45,777 --> 00:38:47,817 Speaker 1: why do we need to hold it until eight pm 687 00:38:47,817 --> 00:38:50,337 Speaker 1: on Thursday night? You know I'm not going to conflict 688 00:38:50,337 --> 00:38:52,057 Speaker 1: with the NBA Finals. You know that was last night. 689 00:38:52,057 --> 00:38:54,257 Speaker 1: That's tomorrow night. No, no, this is this is the 690 00:38:54,377 --> 00:38:57,977 Speaker 1: January six Commissions, big night to reveal something. I'd be 691 00:38:58,017 --> 00:39:00,377 Speaker 1: shocked if we find out anything we haven't already seen. 692 00:39:00,577 --> 00:39:02,977 Speaker 1: And it's just the same rehash of what we've heard 693 00:39:02,977 --> 00:39:05,617 Speaker 1: for the last seventeen months about a single riot that 694 00:39:05,697 --> 00:39:09,457 Speaker 1: happened at the Capitol. I don't think it's gonna be bombshells. 695 00:39:09,497 --> 00:39:11,537 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be nothing burgers. But Steve 696 00:39:11,577 --> 00:39:13,257 Speaker 1: and I, you're gonna be watching closely, so I'll have 697 00:39:13,257 --> 00:39:14,937 Speaker 1: to have you back to talk about what went down. 698 00:39:15,017 --> 00:39:20,817 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us. Hey, thanks baby. Formula isn't 699 00:39:20,857 --> 00:39:23,017 Speaker 1: the only thing missing from shelves across the country. There's 700 00:39:23,057 --> 00:39:26,297 Speaker 1: now a pet food shortage as well. What's next We'll 701 00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:35,337 Speaker 1: get into that and more in quick. Its shortage of 702 00:39:35,337 --> 00:39:38,737 Speaker 1: aluminum cans and manufacturers having a tough time getting raw 703 00:39:38,857 --> 00:39:42,337 Speaker 1: ingredients has led to a pet food shortage across the country. 704 00:39:42,377 --> 00:39:44,817 Speaker 1: Biden is still playing the mass tarade game. By the way, 705 00:39:45,097 --> 00:39:48,377 Speaker 1: these stories and quick hits, let's get into it. Look, 706 00:39:48,417 --> 00:39:52,177 Speaker 1: masks are dumb, that's right, we all know it. Think 707 00:39:52,177 --> 00:39:55,217 Speaker 1: about it for a little bit. They're telling you. As 708 00:39:55,217 --> 00:39:57,977 Speaker 1: a couple days ago, the CDC was saying mask up 709 00:39:58,017 --> 00:40:00,457 Speaker 1: to prevent monkey pocks. There have been twenty monkey pox 710 00:40:00,537 --> 00:40:03,217 Speaker 1: cases roughly in the whole country, and it's spread by 711 00:40:03,217 --> 00:40:06,817 Speaker 1: a close skin to skin contact. But mask up to 712 00:40:06,857 --> 00:40:09,457 Speaker 1: prevent monkey pox. It's just doesn't make sense, right. But 713 00:40:09,497 --> 00:40:11,377 Speaker 1: the whole mask thing now is just turned into a 714 00:40:11,537 --> 00:40:13,617 Speaker 1: obey do what we tell you to do, you know, 715 00:40:13,697 --> 00:40:16,297 Speaker 1: mask up between bites. Yeah, that's really scientific, because when 716 00:40:16,297 --> 00:40:19,057 Speaker 1: you're eating your sandwich, you're not breathing in the same 717 00:40:19,097 --> 00:40:20,297 Speaker 1: air that you would be if you didn't have a 718 00:40:20,337 --> 00:40:23,697 Speaker 1: mask on before that. It's also stupid, folks, And we 719 00:40:23,777 --> 00:40:27,177 Speaker 1: keep getting more and more evidence of this as political 720 00:40:27,617 --> 00:40:30,297 Speaker 1: and virtue signaling instead of having anything to do with 721 00:40:30,337 --> 00:40:33,297 Speaker 1: epidemiology or science. And this is a great example of it. 722 00:40:33,297 --> 00:40:37,217 Speaker 1: I mean Joe Biden, who I assume is now quad vaxed, right, 723 00:40:37,937 --> 00:40:41,657 Speaker 1: first Joe, second dose booster, and now probably another booster, 724 00:40:41,857 --> 00:40:45,577 Speaker 1: you know, super boosted. Here he is backstage at the 725 00:40:45,617 --> 00:40:48,537 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel Show, and you'll you'll see he makes sure 726 00:40:48,537 --> 00:40:51,297 Speaker 1: as the cameras are on that he takes off his 727 00:40:51,377 --> 00:40:53,937 Speaker 1: mask to show that he's wearing a mask backstage. But 728 00:40:54,097 --> 00:40:57,257 Speaker 1: why he's walking to sit down with Jimmy Kimmel? What 729 00:40:57,137 --> 00:40:59,457 Speaker 1: is what point does that make? Well, just you know, 730 00:40:59,897 --> 00:41:02,897 Speaker 1: the smart people wear masks. The dumb people think, here's 731 00:41:02,937 --> 00:41:06,097 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, the forty sixth President of the United States. 732 00:41:06,257 --> 00:41:21,697 Speaker 1: Joe Biden gotta take that mask off? And why not 733 00:41:21,817 --> 00:41:23,217 Speaker 1: leave it on for the interview? WI does you want 734 00:41:23,257 --> 00:41:26,697 Speaker 1: to expose Jimmy Kimmel the possible covid? Oh my gosh, 735 00:41:26,817 --> 00:41:29,577 Speaker 1: It's amazing, isn't it. This is like Joe Biden who 736 00:41:29,577 --> 00:41:31,857 Speaker 1: wears a mask outside alone and then takes it off 737 00:41:31,857 --> 00:41:33,857 Speaker 1: when he goes indoors in the White House, which he 738 00:41:33,857 --> 00:41:37,057 Speaker 1: frequently does. By the way, does any want to try 739 00:41:37,097 --> 00:41:39,377 Speaker 1: to defend this? Does anyone think this is not stupid? 740 00:41:39,417 --> 00:41:41,497 Speaker 1: I would love that person to say, buck sex and 741 00:41:41,617 --> 00:41:44,377 Speaker 1: let's have a debate over this. This is intelligent. What 742 00:41:44,457 --> 00:41:46,817 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's doing makes sense. These are people who are 743 00:41:46,817 --> 00:41:48,817 Speaker 1: telling you get to mask up on planes. They're all 744 00:41:48,857 --> 00:41:52,337 Speaker 1: idiots and sheep anyway, here's a statement from a general 745 00:41:52,337 --> 00:41:55,897 Speaker 1: manager at a pet store in Minnesota. Food brands are 746 00:41:55,897 --> 00:41:59,457 Speaker 1: promising they're gonna get better the next four and six months, 747 00:41:59,777 --> 00:42:01,337 Speaker 1: others saying it might be up to a year before 748 00:42:01,337 --> 00:42:03,097 Speaker 1: we see some of their products back in stock. It 749 00:42:03,137 --> 00:42:05,697 Speaker 1: really is kind of a wave of one week it's 750 00:42:05,737 --> 00:42:07,777 Speaker 1: ten brands. Another week, it may be a brand that 751 00:42:07,777 --> 00:42:09,777 Speaker 1: has a shortage that really depends on a weekly basis, 752 00:42:10,137 --> 00:42:13,937 Speaker 1: or is a pet food shortage out there to add 753 00:42:13,977 --> 00:42:18,897 Speaker 1: to the woes we've already seen from the baby formula shortage. 754 00:42:19,857 --> 00:42:23,977 Speaker 1: Kathy Hukel, by the way, has is that. Do you 755 00:42:24,017 --> 00:42:27,137 Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna say it, This is actually not 756 00:42:27,217 --> 00:42:29,897 Speaker 1: bad if they do a good job redesigning Penn Station. 757 00:42:29,897 --> 00:42:31,537 Speaker 1: I would like that because Penn Station of New York 758 00:42:31,577 --> 00:42:33,497 Speaker 1: City is gross. It used to be beautiful. They destroyed 759 00:42:33,537 --> 00:42:36,537 Speaker 1: what was beautiful and replace it with something gross. Grand 760 00:42:36,617 --> 00:42:39,657 Speaker 1: Central is beautiful. They managed to at least keep that 761 00:42:39,737 --> 00:42:43,337 Speaker 1: the way it is. But Penn Station is, like you know, 762 00:42:44,337 --> 00:42:49,097 Speaker 1: the CD, not esthetically pleasing place in any regard. The 763 00:42:49,177 --> 00:42:51,777 Speaker 1: Governor of New York, who is not very smart but 764 00:42:52,017 --> 00:42:54,257 Speaker 1: maybe she can get something right here, has announced a 765 00:42:54,297 --> 00:42:57,577 Speaker 1: rebuild plan for Penn Station, but to describe living in 766 00:42:57,577 --> 00:42:59,417 Speaker 1: New York City in a way that got some people's 767 00:42:59,457 --> 00:43:03,737 Speaker 1: attention to watch. It'll be larger than the concourse space 768 00:43:03,777 --> 00:43:07,217 Speaker 1: of Moynihan Hall and the Great Hall of Grand Central Terminal. 769 00:43:07,817 --> 00:43:11,257 Speaker 1: And I love this best. Are in a sixty foot 770 00:43:11,337 --> 00:43:15,177 Speaker 1: high a tree. I'm in a skylight that reminds you that, yes, 771 00:43:15,257 --> 00:43:18,537 Speaker 1: the heavens are out there still, despite the feeling that 772 00:43:18,617 --> 00:43:24,457 Speaker 1: you may be living in hell. Okay, kind of weird. 773 00:43:25,377 --> 00:43:27,177 Speaker 1: I mean, New York City is not in its best 774 00:43:27,217 --> 00:43:29,697 Speaker 1: moment right now, but that was just a weird statement. 775 00:43:29,697 --> 00:43:31,577 Speaker 1: I didn't really know what she thought she was saying. Biden, 776 00:43:31,657 --> 00:43:35,417 Speaker 1: by the way, Bash, I'm sorry, descent is Bash and 777 00:43:35,417 --> 00:43:38,657 Speaker 1: Biden administration for easing restrictions on Venezuelan oil but not 778 00:43:38,817 --> 00:43:41,657 Speaker 1: encouraging more domestic production. Washed most have gone up in 779 00:43:41,697 --> 00:43:44,297 Speaker 1: Germany and these other a lot of these other Aran 780 00:43:44,337 --> 00:43:47,977 Speaker 1: countries because of the policies, because they're trying to do this. 781 00:43:48,297 --> 00:43:51,257 Speaker 1: And someone's going to have to explain to me how 782 00:43:51,417 --> 00:43:54,057 Speaker 1: you don't want energy from your own country because of 783 00:43:54,057 --> 00:43:56,977 Speaker 1: global warming, but you can get it for Maduro and 784 00:43:57,097 --> 00:43:59,617 Speaker 1: some of these thugs, and somehow that is that different 785 00:43:59,617 --> 00:44:01,577 Speaker 1: oil or I mean, what am I missing gear of 786 00:44:01,577 --> 00:44:05,217 Speaker 1: course not. It's politics, it's ideology, and it's based on 787 00:44:05,257 --> 00:44:08,457 Speaker 1: this notion that somehow you can run a modern economy 788 00:44:08,977 --> 00:44:12,337 Speaker 1: without using the energy resources that we have. And we 789 00:44:12,337 --> 00:44:15,617 Speaker 1: were energy and dependent prior to Biden taking office, and 790 00:44:15,737 --> 00:44:18,497 Speaker 1: now that is changing in a big, big way, and 791 00:44:18,697 --> 00:44:22,577 Speaker 1: you feel it at the pump more than ever. It's 792 00:44:22,617 --> 00:44:24,657 Speaker 1: the highest I've ever seen gas in my life, and 793 00:44:24,697 --> 00:44:28,217 Speaker 1: I was born and raised in Florida.
