1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay, Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Our three of Clay and Buck starts 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: right now, and you have something we talked about in 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: the last hour to dive into with you in this moment. 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: Marrek Garland is up on Capitol Hill, the Attorney General 6 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: who has presided over some very political and dubious decisions 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: during his two years in this role. It's worth noting 8 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland was we were told in the latter half 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: of the Obama years, he was the totally reliable, nonpartisan 10 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: judge who should be on the Supreme Court. And Republicans 11 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: to Mitch McConnell's credit, which I know is a phrase 12 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: that gets groans from this audience, But Mitch McConnell good 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: on judges. He's good on judges. He can be bad 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: on a lot of other things, and I get it, 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: but he's good on judges. And I think anybody would 16 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: have a hard time on the right arguing against that. 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: Remember they held that they didn't go forward with the vote. 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland didn't get his Supreme Court seat, and I 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: think he's bitter. I know that I'm doing a little 20 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: bit of psychoanalysis from afar here, but I think he's 21 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: a little bit bitter about it. And today Ted Cruz, 22 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: who knows all this legal stuff backwards and forwards, had 23 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: the opportunity to question Merrick Garland in front of the 24 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: Senate Committee, Senate Judiciary and they were talking to Meeric 25 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: Garland about about a few issues. And the one that 26 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: really got Ted Cruise fired up, something we talked about 27 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: Clay with some detail on the show, was we remember 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: there was a leak, so we're all on the same 29 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: page here. There was a leak of a Supreme Court 30 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: decision overturning Roe v. Wade months before the actual printing 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: official printing of the decision, and so this was done. 32 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: We never found out who the leaguer is, by the way, 33 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: we may never find the real actually told. It was 34 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: impossible to find out why the Supreme Court Masters or 35 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: whatever their titles were, who conducted this investigation internally at 36 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. Yeah, so that strikes me as they 37 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: just don't want to deal with the ramifications of a 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: Lib justices because we know it came from a Lib 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: justice is team putting this out there. But anyway, as 40 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: we know then there were these protests, these protests. That 41 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: also coincided with someone showing up with what was it 42 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: a knife ending gun on his person, saying he wanted 43 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh. So a lunatic, yes, but lunatics assassinated. 44 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: Look at who is assassinated. You know US presidents in 45 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: the past, crazy people do things like that that can happen. 46 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: And so there's maniac shows up says he wants to 47 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: kill Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh. He is arrested by the 48 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: US marshals. It was a very tense time. It was 49 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: an effort by the Democrat left who subvert the Supreme 50 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: Court in the judiciary process that we have. And here's 51 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: the thing. There is actually a statue that very clearly 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: says and Ted Cruz held it up during this hearing. 53 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: You can see held up with in bold the intent 54 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: to influence, intend to change the outcome effectively, and harassing, 55 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: intimidating none of that. You don't have to just threaten 56 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: to kill a judge. Just harassing and intimidating a judge 57 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: is a federal crime, and we know that was. You 58 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: don't show up at someone's home as a mob demanding 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: a certain Supreme Court outcome and not fall into the statue. 60 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz went after Merrick Garland enjoy everybody listen to 61 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: this one. But in the wake of the leak of 62 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: the Dabb's decision, when rioters descended at the homes of 63 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: six Supreme Court justices night after night after night, you 64 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: did nothing. The Department did nothing. When extremist groups like 65 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: Ruth sent Us and Jane's Revenge openly organized campaigns of 66 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: harassment at the homes of justices, you sat on your hands. 67 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: When these same groups posted online information about where the 68 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: justices worship, or their home addresses, or where their kids 69 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: went to school, you again sat on your hands and 70 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,799 Speaker 1: did nothing. Your failure to act to protect the safety 71 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: of the justices and their families was an obvious product 72 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: of political bias. You agree with Roe versus Wade, You 73 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: disagree with the Dobb's decision, and the Department of Justice 74 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: under this president was perfectly happy to refuse to enforce 75 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: the law and allow threats of violence. And those threats 76 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: of violence continued there from Ted Cruz buck to the 77 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: point that you brought up. But we legitimately had a 78 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: guy fly all the way across the country from California, 79 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: armed with a handgun show up outside of Brett Kavanaugh's house. 80 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: And this is important to re emphasize because I think 81 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: it got lost. The reason why the Dabbs leak was 82 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: so incredibly dangerous is until an opinion is published, it 83 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: isn't the law of the land. Whoever leaked the Dabbs 84 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: decision was implicitly encouraging violence to be acted out against 85 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: any of the five justices in the majority. And this 86 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: is why I think Justice John Roberts was such a 87 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: coward for not adding his own name to this decision 88 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: and making a six to three decision, because unfortunately, that 89 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: death threat and the consequences of what a death might 90 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: mean hangs over the court now with a five to 91 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: four decision, and in particular, fuck the Washington DC legal 92 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: community is small. The legal community in general, four high 93 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: level circuit court judges is very small. Everybody knows everybody. 94 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland refusing to protect the Supreme Court justices as 95 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: he is obligated to do under federal law and also frankly, 96 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: state law not being enforced for those judges who live 97 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: in Virginia or Maryland is one of the most indefensible 98 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: things I've ever seen occur in this country as it 99 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: pertains to the Supreme Court, because you can agree or 100 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: disagree with the decisions that the justices make, and we're 101 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: going to agree and disagree with their decisions, as I 102 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: just did with John Roberts's decision not making in sixty 103 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: three for our entire lives. That's what being a judge is. 104 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: You look at all the facts. Sometimes we come to 105 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: different conclusions. The idea that you wouldn't protect the justices 106 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: and their families to the utmost of the law is 107 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: frankly indefensible, and Merrick Garland should be ashamed of himself 108 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: for many things, but this is at the very top 109 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: of the list. In my opinion, I think we all 110 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: understand what happened here. First of all, Ted Cruze gets 111 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: at it when he says that this is because Marrick Garland, 112 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: I'm sure deeply agrees with the Now we can say 113 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: with even more force, absurd Roe v. Wade decision, And 114 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: it's actually absurd, regardless of what one thinks of abortion, 115 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: and just as a legal matter, as we've discussed on 116 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: the show before, Roe v. Wade is just garbage. It's 117 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: I want this thing, so I'm going to make believe 118 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: that it's in the constitution. It is as much of 119 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: a subversion of the constitutions as you can find, really, 120 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: the imagining of a right that isn't there. Okay, but 121 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: put that aside for just a moment. Why did he 122 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: not want to do anything. In addition to that, it's 123 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: because US marshals arresting Democrat activist protesters at that moment 124 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: in time would have been a bad look. Biden administration 125 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: would have had to say, yes, we do believe in 126 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: enforcing the law. Sorry, lunatic abortion loving protesters. You actually 127 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: don't get to intimidate this justice. You aren't. You don't 128 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: get to abide by a different set of rules because 129 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to abortion, there has always been for 130 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: Democrats a different set of rules. Because Ted Cruise also 131 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: went after Merrick Garland on the difference in how he 132 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: approaches prosecuting people that are in the pro life movement. 133 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: The guy that allegedly shoved the person, remember that they 134 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: showed up and arrested him. FBI rested him at his 135 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 1: house's facing ten years in prison for a shove because 136 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: it involved abortion access versus abortion extremists who go around, 137 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, fire bombing, places and writing threats on in 138 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: graffiti on the walls. Merrick Garland has chosen sides in 139 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: this and done so in flagrant violation of existing federal statute, 140 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: and Ted Cruz not let him get away with it today. Yeah, 141 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: and again I think we have to tie this in 142 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: with the Washington Post story that came out early this morning. 143 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland is testifying. And what Merrick Garland would like 144 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: to believe in his own head is that he is 145 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: a paragon of virtue. He is a man of the law. 146 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: He does not exercise great He is not a biased 147 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: sort of Supreme Court of Attorney General. Right, that's all 148 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: going up in smoke. And we said this back in 149 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: August when the Mara Lago raid happened. But when the 150 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: FBI is coming out and letting it be known that 151 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: high level FBI officials who were involved in this investigation 152 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: worst not only disagreeing with it, having yelling arguments with 153 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice over whether they should raid Mara Lago, 154 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: this all comes back on the feet of Merrick Garland 155 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: and his hypocritical, inconsistent without precedent behavior is currently being 156 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: attacked justifiably, so as he sits in front of the Senate. 157 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: And there are many things you can point to, but 158 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: I would say the failure to protect the Supreme Court 159 00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: justices and the Mara Lago raid are two stories will 160 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: live in infamy for Merrick Garland's tenure and Buck. Imagine 161 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: what would have happened. I said this on the radio show. 162 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: I hated to even think about it, but what if 163 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: that woon that tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh had actually 164 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: assassinated Brett Kavanaugh. I don't think that people have even 165 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: thought through. Sometimes you need to go down the world 166 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: of alternate history to think about the situations that you 167 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: have created with your behavior. If Kavanaugh gets assassinated by 168 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: that guy, Dobbs does not become the rule of the 169 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: law of the land because there's only eight justices, and 170 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: then Joe Biden gets to replace Brett Kavanaugh with a 171 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: new Supreme Court justice. You want to talk about the 172 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: country coming undone. Joe Biden would be rewarded with a 173 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: new Supreme Court justice appointment based on the criminal murder 174 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: of Brett Kavanaugh by a far left wing activist, which 175 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: was spurned on by the week of the dab's decision 176 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: before it became law. I mean, you talk about civil 177 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: war and unrest and chaos in the streets, all of 178 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: that would have been in play had that occurred, and 179 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: Merritt Garland didn't do everything he could to stop it 180 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: from happening. I would just add to that Clay, because 181 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: I do think that really hits home for everybody, the 182 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: gravity of the situation and how why there was a 183 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: need to enforce the law without fear or favor of 184 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: politics here and why there still is. But I would 185 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: also note think of the mentality of an employee. It's 186 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: very small and not a lot of people. A person 187 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: who works in the Supreme Court day to day was 188 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: willing to put the lives of conservative justices in jeopardy 189 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: for a blanket, fake constitutional right to kill baby. That 190 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: is what happened. That is the Democrat party of today. 191 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: And Democrats were all, oh, we don't know, maybe it 192 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: could have been somebody in the right bullcrap. Okay, no 193 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: one believes that. That's crazy. We all understand what the 194 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 1: incentives were. You show me the incentive, I'll show you 195 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: the outcome. I think that's Charlie Munger, but it's true, 196 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: and that is what happened here. So I think it's 197 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: noteworthy for everybody, and we should keep an eye on 198 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: what comes out of this. Hearing with with Marrick Garland today, 199 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: Mike Lee's Twitter account just got suspended. Did you see this? Yeah? 200 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: How how do you? Senator Mike Lee's Twitter account is suspended? 201 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: What is going on here? I mean personal Twitter account? 202 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: I have no idea. It's blown up, the fact that 203 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: he somehow has gotten suspended. The only thing I can 204 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: think is that they, somehow inside of Twitter do not 205 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: know that this is actually his personal Twitter account and 206 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: they think it's a parody. Imperson's an act. Maybe it's 207 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: an accident, and that would make sense. I mean, well, 208 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: well you know what's next and a net Landers to Supermax. 209 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: This is crazy. Yeah. Let me just say Ted Cruz 210 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,599 Speaker 1: did a great job there. I think that the hypothesis 211 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: that we just laid out needs to be discussed in 212 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: public more often because it speaks to the recklessness of 213 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland's behavior in not protecting the families, to say 214 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: nothing of it. Brett Kavanaugh attempted assassination attempt What if 215 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: some crazy person kills a kid of one of the 216 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: justices as they're taking them to school? I mean, these 217 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: justices should be protected as much as we are protecting 218 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: high level government authorities. Whether it's whether it's the Speaker 219 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: of the House, President of the United States, head of 220 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: the Senate, whoever it is. This is shameful and it 221 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: deserves to be called. Such best entertainment for a family, 222 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: what is it? It's often old family movies. Trust me 223 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: on this. Everybody likes to revisit those old family memories. 224 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: You remember in Vacation when Chevy Chase gets himself locked 225 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: up in the attic Christmas Vacation, Fabulous Christmas movie, and 226 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: he's really cold, and he starts wrapping himself up in 227 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: the old all the old gear, and he's watching the 228 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: old family films up there because the family's gone out 229 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: to shop. Are your family films protected or are they 230 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: like it in the Vacation movie, just way up in 231 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: the attic, dealing with the elements. You don't know if 232 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: they're going to continue to work for years to come. 233 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: Maybe it's time to take care of them. Maybe it's 234 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: time to protect those family memories forever and put them 235 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: on digital files. Put them on the cloud you want, DVDs. 236 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: They'll do that for you as well.

Here 260 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: was Merrick Garland's response, Why do you send two dozen 261 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: agents in body armor to arrest a sidewalk counselor happens 262 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: to be pro life, but you don't devote resources to 263 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: prosecute people who are violently firebombing crisis pregnancy. It is 264 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: a priority of the Department to prosecute and investigate and 265 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: find the people who are doing those firebombings. They are 266 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: doing it at night and secret, and we have found 267 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: we have found one group which we did prosecute and 268 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: found one. How many of them? How many attacks? There 269 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: have been a lot And if you have any information 270 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: specifically as to who those people are, we would be 271 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: glad to have off whoa I think next he was 272 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: gonna send? Did you authorized the sending in of the 273 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: agents to go arrest the pro the pro life guy 274 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: for the remember for the like shove situation, nobody was injured, 275 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: nobody was hurt, no property destroyed, but someone shoved somebody 276 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: and it happened to involve abortion clinic access. So they 277 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: sent an FBI agent to make the arrest. Got it 278 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: going right away. I gotta sending the guys with AARs 279 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: and tac vests. I don't think this is the job 280 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: for Merrick Garland, right, I mean, before the when Joe 281 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: Biden put his cabinet together. If you had told me 282 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: we've had these conversations, Buck, if you had told me, Hey, 283 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: who's somebody that you think is just not going to 284 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: be a disaster, I probably would have said Merrick Garland, 285 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: because he's a judge, and I thought I bought into 286 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: the idea that he's going to be relatively even tempered 287 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: and somewhat normal, And I think he may be right 288 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: Buck about maybe he's just so burned over not getting 289 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court that he is allowing that to 290 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: wreck all of his judgment because he's been a disaster 291 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: and an indefensively bad attorney general. With so much chaos 292 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: in the world out there these days, how about going 293 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: ahead and taking care of your food security.

Let's talk about 314 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court oral arguments yesterday. What's that issue here 315 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:30,159 Speaker 1: on the student debt relief cancelation, whatever they want to 316 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,479 Speaker 1: call it. You ran the Education department. What do you 317 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: think about this Biden administration plan to waive the proverbial 318 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: magic wand and have twenty thousand dollars of debt wiped 319 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: away for a whole lot of folks. Yeah, and about 320 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: half trillion dollars by conservative estimates. Well, I and four 321 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: of my former secretary of education colleagues for former Republican 322 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: secretaries all agree there is no authority for the secretary 323 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: to do this, no authority for the executive branch, the president. 324 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: It's clearly illegal. And interestingly, while I attended the oral 325 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: arguments yesterday at the Supreme Court, and while there was 326 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: a lot of questioning around whether the case had standing, 327 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: they were also the justices were also very very interested 328 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: in the question of legality. And it is clear he 329 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: does not. Congress is the one with is the entity 330 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: with the power of the purse. And you know what 331 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: Biden and his administration saw was a bunch of politics 332 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: that they tried to wrap in policy attract young people's 333 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: votes for the promise of wiping away their student debt. 334 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: It's wrong, and it is I'm very optimistic that the 335 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: court is going to find it illegal as it is. 336 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: I agree with you. Thank you for coming on the show. 337 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: We appreciate all the things you're doing. Another big court 338 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: case that deals directly with education is a firmative action. 339 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: It appears to be on the chopping block because and 340 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've dove into the details on this to 341 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: a great degree, but in particular, Asian applicants are being 342 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: discriminated against at many elite institutions all over the country 343 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: in a way interestingly that Jewish applicants used to be 344 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: discriminated against, which is how we ended up with standardized 345 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: test in the first place. What do you think the 346 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: Supreme Court is going to do with affirmative action based 347 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: on what you know of that jurisprudence as well, well, 348 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: I would agree that it seems to be in a 349 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: direction they're headed to indicate that these are not non 350 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: discriminatory programs and that they cannot that race cannot be 351 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: a you know, the factor in deciding admittance or not 352 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: to an institution. There's a lot of very important implications 353 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: to that case, obviously, but on the student debt case, 354 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: it has implications for all of us because in the 355 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: case that that was allowed to stand. All of the 356 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: taxpayers are the ones footing the bills to wipe away 357 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: the debt of millions of students, over fifty percent of 358 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: whom say they don't need their debt wiped away, that 359 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: they're capable of continuing to pay. And so it is 360 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: a very big issue with very massive implications for everyone 361 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: in the country. Speaking of former Secretary of Education Betsy 362 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: de Vos, she served into the Trump administration, Betsy, how 363 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: are we doing on school choice initiatives across the country. 364 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 1: I know we don't have a White House that is 365 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: favorable to the idea, but I know that at the 366 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: local and state and more grassroots level, this is something 367 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: that education freedom activists are very focused in on. Are 368 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: we gaining ground? How's the movement doing? Absolutely? Education freedom 369 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: school choice is on a roll. There are now four 370 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: states that have introduced and pass asked universal education savings 371 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: accounts for every student in their state Arizona, West Virginia, Iowa, 372 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: and Nevada. Florida is soon to follow. They're debating that 373 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: bill right now, and I expect that soon we will 374 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: also see it joined by Arkansas, Oklahoma. Nebraska's considering a 375 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: very big expansion as is Ohio, and I think that 376 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: the momentum is going to continue to build as states 377 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: see their neighbors doing making policy change that's going to 378 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: support families and kids and is ultimately going to be 379 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: an economic boon for the states that do this to 380 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: be able to attract families to live there who want 381 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: a high quality of life and a good opportunity in 382 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: an economy that's working. Betsy, I'm sure I don't know 383 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: if you saw this story, but there was a religious 384 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: high school that refused to take the court again a 385 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: team they were playing in basketball because they were using 386 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: on that team a transgender athlete, a male that was 387 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: now identifying as a female. You were at the forefront. 388 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: You got in particular, I don't think you got credit 389 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: for this that you deserve to help fix some of 390 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 1: these kangaroo courts that were going on inside many of 391 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 1: these colleges and universities when it came to allegations of 392 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: sexual assault, basic due process rights that didn't exist. When 393 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: you see the Biden administration trying to argue that they 394 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: are going to put the full force of the American 395 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: government behind the idea that if you are a boy 396 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: and you want to identify as a girl, you should 397 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: be able to compete in women's athletics. What do you 398 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: think about that? And how important is it for people 399 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 1: to fight back against it. It's absolutely important, And they 400 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: are in the process right now of trying to undo 401 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: all the good hard work we did to bring a 402 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: fair and balanced and reliable appro for students and for 403 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: campuses to be able to follow and rely upon. They're 404 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: trying to not only turn that all back, but take 405 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: it multiple steps further than even the Obama administration did 406 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: before the Trump administration, and it is it is inconceivable 407 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: that this will ultimately be allowed to stand if that's 408 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: where they end up. But people have got to continue 409 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: to raise their voices and speak out against this notion 410 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: of you know, we we We've had the Civil Rights 411 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: Bill passed to ensure that girls and women have an 412 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: equal opportunity to play in sports and to access education opportunities. Well, 413 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 1: if you allow a biological mail to compete on a 414 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: girls team, that by definition kind of moots the point 415 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: of women's sports. Amen. She's Betsy of Os, former Secretary 416 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: of Education.

Now a group 424 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: of investment firms that Americans and trust with our pensions 425 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: and retirements are playing woke politics with your money without 426 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: our knowledge or consent.

They claim it 430 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: promotes corporate responsibility. What they're really doing is using americans 431 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 1: hard earned money to finance their political agenda, forcing businesses 432 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: to comply or else. Some state leaders are fighting back 433 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: and more are joining, letting those investment firms know they 434 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: can't play politics with our pensions. They can either do 435 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: their jobs, max mys returns for shareholders, or get lost 436 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: to learn more.

She's on the Today Show. 455 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 1: I believe this is the third time that she has 456 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID. She probably has had like eight 457 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: COVID shots at this point. The woman's got to be 458 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: a pincushion if she's working at NBC and yet she 459 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: keeps testing positive and buck.

So for a lot of them out 465 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: there who were policing everyone's mask usage and everything else, 466 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: you know, I think they would look to someone like 467 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: a Savannah Guthrie as well. If she does, if she's 468 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: on shot number fifteen, must be good for me too, 469 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, swishing around murlot in a big glass at 470 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: around eleven am. Anyway, but I gotta tell you, whatever happened, 471 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: I missed the genuflection to the vaccine that used to 472 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: be mandatory. You know, why did they used to do? Okay, everybody, 473 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: I have COVID again. But but I'm so glad I 474 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: got vaccinated and boosted. Remember it wasn't just vaccinated Clay. 475 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: So glad I got vaccinated and boosted. You just don't 476 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: see that anymore. Seems kind of weird. You know, where's 477 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: the genuflection? Like they don't respect the fauci gods anymore. Also, 478 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: I'll point this out. They sent her home, so she 479 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: showed up feeling fine to work. How many of you 480 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: out there? I mean, Buck and I both know we've 481 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: had COVID twice, But how many times do you maybe 482 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: feel a little bit sick? You know, you got a 483 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: little bit of a cold. You might hear us sometimes 484 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: on the radio, like our voices are not always going 485 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: to sound the exact same because we get colds here. 486 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: I got kids running around and running noses all the time. 487 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 1: But this audience has to work the hearing of like 488 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: like the special members of the Animal Kingdom. I've showed 489 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: up before and people have emailed me being like, didn't 490 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: get much sleep last night, hub buddy, I'm like, how 491 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: do they know? You know? Because your voice that sounds 492 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: a little racipe, But yeah, it's true. So I knew 493 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: it was gonna happen. I didn't think it was gonna 494 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: happen this quickly. I praised Whoopie Goldberg, I praised Joy Behar. 495 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: I even said I'd be happy to join those chicks 496 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: on their show, that they were getting things right. They 497 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: talked about COVID coming out of a lab on the 498 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: View today and they said, you know who's really to 499 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: blame here, Donald Trump for telling us that COVID came 500 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: out of a lab. Here is Sonny Hostin always in 501 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: the running alongside Joy Behar as the dumbest people on television. 502 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: They put together a huge cadre of them. Here's our 503 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: good friends, Sonny saying Trump's to blame. Trump unleash this xenophobia. 504 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: He's he stopped allowing Chinese people to come to the country. 505 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: He then started calling it the um don't even say 506 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: yeah something, can he get them? Saying China, China? And 507 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: where I was even concerned, as someone who had lost 508 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: family members from nanny to even bring it up. And 509 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: that is really said, first of all, Clay, he says 510 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: China because that's how he says China. This is just 511 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: the way that he talks. You know. It's like, have 512 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: you heard him say probably, because that's how he says probably. 513 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: Like I don't understand that argument at all, But it 514 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: just goes to show you how much they hate him. 515 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: It's not even that he did anything. The whole thing 516 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: about blocking people from China from coming here because that's 517 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: where the virus was. It wasn't Also Widen kept that 518 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: going for years. Right, they initially said that was enophobic. 519 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: And remember Nancy Pelosi, which everybody tries to pretend to happen. 520 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: Remember when Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown to go hug 521 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: Chinese people to prove that they weren't to blame for him. Yes, 522 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: nobody talked it was it in New York City or 523 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: New York City to Blasio had Deblasio went to the 524 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: Chinese New Year Festival. There's a big Chinatown in New 525 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: York City, and it was the whole you know, we're 526 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: great here, we love all of our Chinese friends, and 527 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: we're hugging everybody in. It was, you know, they're not 528 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: giving us COVID, I promise. I mean that was a whole. 529 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: It's amazing. Head that was in February, right before everything 530 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: got shut down. I wish we could get the audio 531 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: of Nancy Pelosi talking about how much she loved Chinese people, 532 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: and Mayor Deblasio I think then said nothing to worry 533 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: about with COVID. I think he was like it's exaggerated, 534 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: like because he's partying in Chinatown, But I wish we 535 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: could get in fact, can we pledge on this show 536 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: that we're going to do it. The thing that I 537 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: regret about what they're talking about is we should have 538 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: never given in and stopped calling this the China virus, 539 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 1: because if they created it in a Wuhan lab, that 540 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 1: is by definition a China virus. If they made it, 541 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: which the evidence seems to suggest. So the idea that 542 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: it was somehow in the first place racist and xenophobic 543 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: to refer to a virus by where it came from 544 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: is every scientific method, basically that existed for hundreds of years, right. 545 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: We named viruses very often based on the first place 546 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: that we saw it come from, even if it wasn't 547 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: necessarily accurate. And we also see what a clear decision 548 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: it was to call it this COVID nineteen to make 549 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: it seem that was all part of the mysticism of 550 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: the scientific community. We don't just call it the thing 551 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: that we call it based on where it comes from anymore. 552 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: That's the old way. Now we're we're so sciency and 553 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: we're so uh you know, evolved in our knowledge as 554 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: a scientific community that we're gonna call COVID nineteen. Also, 555 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: but are they calling it COVID twenty and COVID twenty 556 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: twenty one and COVID twenty twenty. You know, we're supposed 557 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: to call it COVID nineteen forever because of the year. 558 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: What about the additional strains? How do we refer to that? 559 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: I've never I've wondered how how that's supposed to go? 560 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I think it's funny that this is 561 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: actually a who Someone else made this argument earlier in 562 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: the week that the problem with what was it? Medi Hassan. 563 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: I think the problem with COVID in the early days, 564 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: the lab League theory wasn't that it was wrong. It 565 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: was that it came from the wrong people. And the ultimate, 566 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: the pinnacle of that idea is that anything that Trump 567 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: said about COVID had to be treated as false because 568 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: Trump is so racist and xenophobic. That is the final 569 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 1: fallback of the left. We couldn't believe what Trump said 570 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: because he's Trump. It didn't matter that it's true. And 571 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: that's really what it's all turned turned into. Now. It's well, 572 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: you guys, might Clay and Buck might have been right 573 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: on masks, but Clay talks about boobs on CNN and 574 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 1: Buck is a weird guy. You know. They just don't 575 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: believe us, is what it really comes down do. They 576 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: couldn't believe us. Positive news. Mike Lee has gotten his 577 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: account back. Senator Mike Lee of Utah has been restored 578 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 1: to Twitter. I would bet that somebody flagged that as 579 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: a parody account. It's at based Mike Lee, and the 580 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: first couple of times I saw tweets from there, I 581 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: was like, there's no way this is actually Mike Lee's 582 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: Twitter account. It's his personal Twitter account and he is 583 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: pretty funny on there, and as opposed to his official 584 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: Senate but I banning Mike Lee from Twitter is like 585 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: arresting mister Rogers for running a motorcycle gang. Like come on, Like, 586 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: there's just no way that's gonna stand. So evidently somebody 587 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: got to Elon and asked what happened. I would bet 588 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: that he said he hadn't gotten an explanation on it 589 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: so far. I would bet somebody flagged it as a 590 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: parody or a fake account, and that somehow somebody at 591 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: Twitter bought into that. Because I will be honest, it's 592 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 1: a funny account, and not to take shots at Mike Lee, 593 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: but you don't necessarily think of him as somebody who 594 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: is throwing out zingers, right, That's what I mean. Yeah, 595 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: so he's it is a funny accout. I would encourage 596 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: it to autoco follow it if you're an analysis of 597 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,479 Speaker 1: Article two, Section three, a ry of the facts, Mike 598 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: Lee is gonna come down and he's gonna tell you 599 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: what the founders intended. That's how that is a really 600 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: good impersonation. He's a very brilliant guy. Jurist wise, I 601 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: will say, Also, this would be like if Trump on 602 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 1: his account came back and just started only sharing like 603 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: rocket jet propulsion data, right, You'd be like, I don't 604 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: know that this is really Donald Trump's for personal Twitter account. Yeah, 605 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a fair point. Personal propulsion 606 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 1: device probably the best, the fastest, the most glorious, most 607 00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: beautiful rocket device for propulsion. Actually, now that they've Trump 608 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: could sell anything. So if we're gonna get jet pack 609 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: master Marketer, that's true. It is very true, and we're 610 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: gonna talk to you more about all this tomorrow on 611 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: the show.
