Might get a little like a little 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: hotter of the collar. The Fouch all of a sudden 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: made in appearance here. Oh, don't think I'm not gonna 17 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: bring up later on on the show that Fauci's now 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: he's making the masking tour across the country. Every buddy, 19 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: you know what will really work, You know what'll be 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: a magnificent, incredible success if we do intermittent masking. Sometimes 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: not all the time, mask up between bites, indoor and 22 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: congregate settings. All that. He's still saying it, folks, as 23 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: if we've all been asleep for two years and I 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: have no idea what has happened. You even see Biden 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: when he was given his speech about given a giving 26 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: a speech recently? What was this August twentieth, I'm sorry 27 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. Pardon me, no, that was up 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: on Fox. I thought he was talking about al Qaeda. 29 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: That just losz Awi hearing. I'm saying the Fox you're 30 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: in the background. That was her twenty twenty one. Yes, 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: Kamala and the Secretary of State with the big masks, 32 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: the big black masks on. You know, they gotta be 33 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: masked up for the cameras. But people are still masking 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: up all over the place. Biden, as you know, is 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: on his second rebound of COVID after Paxlove It. Anyway, 36 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: I don't really want to talk about COVID right this second. 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Build Back Better Ish 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: bill that they want to pass here. They want to 39 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: talk about this, and we should they want to pass this. 40 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: What's going on here? Harris Faulkner did a good interview 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 1: with Joe Mansion right before I came on air with 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: you at noon Eastern time. And there's some important parts 43 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: of this, right, is it raising taxes on people who 44 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: earn less than four hundred thousand offs? Is it going 45 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: to combat inflation? And here is how some of this 46 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: went when Joe Mansion was asked about it. Are you 47 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: saying that Mitch McConnell and others and the Senator wrong 48 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: about those numbers and that Americans taxes are not going 49 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: to go up? Tody on that point, totally absolutely wrong, 50 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: totally wrong. And here's the thing. You're looking at it 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: through political lenses. Look at it through the American I'm 52 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: asking I'm just answering questions. I want to answer these 53 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: questions because what you're asking and the facts you have 54 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: are completely wrong. Telling her she's wrong, now, she pushed back. 55 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: Harris pushed back against this and pointed out that groups 56 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: that Democrats, including Mansion, in the past, have turned to 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: and said, see, look at our analysis on this issue, right, 58 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: see look at what they say the impact of this 59 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: will be. And now they're saying, oh, they're just wrong, 60 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 1: They've got it wrong. What is more likely? Let's just 61 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: start from this perspective, because you can always do the well, 62 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: my experts saying they're experts, say, and my experts say, 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: what is more likely at this point with Democrats heading 64 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: into an election that will be more of a slapdown 65 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: for them than anything we've seen in a mid term 66 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: since two thou ten, So in a decade at least, 67 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: what's more likely that all of a sudden, Joe Mansion 68 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: found some great ground with Democrats. That's just gonna only 69 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: raise taxes on the rich and corporations, and it's gonna 70 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: make energy cheaper. And you know it's gonna be just 71 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: lollypops and fairy dust and unicorns and rivers of chocolate 72 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: and great things for you know, that's fantasy land stuff, right, 73 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: Remember candy Land, the board game. I used to play 74 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: that when I was a little kid, really little kid, 75 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: but you know that was a board game. But that's 76 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. It's gonna be amazing, right, This pill 77 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: is doing all these great things. No downside. You always 78 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: know they're lying to you when they negate that there 79 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 1: is any trade off. This is a good rule of thumb. 80 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: I have a few rules of thumb and politics. One 81 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: thing is that anytime anyone tells you that they're doing it, 82 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: like Nancy Pelosi loves to say, felly children anytime she 83 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: brings the children into it. Trust me, it's not about 84 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: helping kids. Usually it's about stealing from productive adults, using 85 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: government forest to spend money on things that make Nancy 86 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: Pelosi and her constituents feel good and important. Anytime they 87 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: say it's for the children, you should be you should 88 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: be concerned about it. But also anytime they refuse to 89 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: admit that there's a trade off. It's just all good things. 90 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: It's just all good things. And if you don't see that, 91 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: you're a bigot. I mean an example, illegal immigration. How 92 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: is it that I know that Democrats and there are 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: so many things. How is it that I know that 94 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: Democrats are lying to you about illegal immigration? Well, just 95 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: think about it this way. Whenever you ask them, hey, 96 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: is there should shouldn't we limited illegal immigration to the country, 97 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: because aren't aren't there some downsides, resource drains, problems with 98 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, additional law enforcement concerns, especially with the drug 99 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: trafficking and MS thirteen, et cetera. They go, No, that's 100 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: not true, that's not true. It makes us all richer 101 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: and wealthier, and it increases GDP, although they don't talk 102 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: about gdpeper capital. They just talk about net GDP. It 103 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: increases GDP. Meanwhile, in New York and DC, the mayors 104 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: of those respective cities are saying, yeah, the illegal immigrants 105 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: are actually a big drain on resources here, we need 106 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: federal government money. Now there's some cynicism in that too, 107 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: but point is they have to admit that there is 108 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: a trade off. It would be honest if Democrats said 109 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: we need to be an open borders country because we 110 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: think that's a moral thing. Because the working class in 111 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: America is where the illegal immigrants are gonna go live. 112 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: So they're not gonna live in Nancy Pelosi's backyard. They're 113 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: not gonna live in Nancy Pelosi's street. And she gets 114 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: to feel good about herself, and the rich Libs who 115 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: support her and who watch CNN and subscribe the Washington Posts, 116 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: they get to feel good about themselves, and yeah, sure 117 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: there's going to be some financial trade off for the country. 118 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: At least that would be an honest way to frame it. 119 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: Same thing can be applied here to the way Joe 120 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: Mansion talks about this Mansion Schumerville. First of all, the 121 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: name Schumer's attached to it. So that's what we would 122 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: call in the poker world. A tell not that I 123 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: know anything about poker, or I do not gamble and 124 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: I know nothing about it, although that may change at 125 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: some point, but I do watch movies and sometimes they 126 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: talk about these things. So Mansion is saying that this 127 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: is just going to combat inflation, only raised taxes on 128 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: the rich people in the corporations, and is not some 129 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: boondoggle of spending at a time of high inflation for 130 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: the green energy lobby essentially and the green energy apparatus 131 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: in this country. That's just not true, right. There's there's 132 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: no way, it's not possible. It is not possible for 133 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: this bill to just be the things that Joe Mansion says. 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: So he's trying to sell it. He's in salesman mode. 135 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: The reality is that they're calling it the you know, 136 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: inflation reduction bill because they know that if anything, people 137 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: are looking at what the federal government has done recently 138 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: and what it did under Biden, spending the two trillion 139 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: dollars right out of the gate when he took office, 140 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: and Senate Democrats, Senate or congressional Democrats across the board 141 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: pushing that without any Republican support. People understand, hold on, 142 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: We're in a time of high inflation, which has come 143 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: from government monetary policy, the government running up debt, the 144 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: government printing of money and spending of money. And this 145 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: is a problem because inflation everywhere, in at all times 146 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: is a monetary policy issue. So they're passing this bill 147 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: that has a whole lot of spending in it and 148 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of tax increases, and they're telling you 149 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: that this is going to fix inflation. Joe Biden a 150 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: year ago, Rememberhew's going reduced inflation. Reduce inflation. That's what 151 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: he was saying about a three and some would say 152 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: actually more like five trillion dollars. They're always playing games 153 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: with this, what's mandatory spending, what's discretionary spending? Because they 154 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 1: don't want to tell you what they're really doing. They're 155 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: trying to hide it from you. And if we had 156 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: a media that was honest, it would be a lot easier. 157 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: But the media runs cover for this, and Joe Mansion 158 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: knows that. Joe Mansion knows the second that he switches 159 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: over and does Chuck Schumer's bidding. Ninety five percent of 160 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: the news media is going to be finding ways to 161 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: support his point of view, back him up, tell him 162 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: how great he is, etc. So that's where we are. 163 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: They're clearly not being honest with you, and he a mansion, 164 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: wasn't honest when he said weeks ago that he wouldn't 165 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: be a part of it. He wouldn't do any of 166 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: this Green New Deal spending stuff. It's just going to 167 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: be a whole bunch of a taxpayer funded giveaways to 168 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: companies that make solar and wind energy inefficiently and at 169 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: a very high cost that won't change the energy grid 170 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: in any meaningful way. But they're important constituencies for Democrats, 171 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: and it also makes the Democrat base feel good about 172 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: themselves because the planet won't melt or whatever because of 173 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: CO two. So that's really what this is. So you 174 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: have to know that they're being dishonest with you. Now 175 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: people are saying that there are some hurdles that this 176 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: will face, that this bill, which is according to Democrats, 177 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty three billion dollars of spending seven 178 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine billion dollars in tax revenue, including 179 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: a whole lot of extra money fur the irs who 180 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: audit you. Yeah, that's right. Democrats like to sick the 181 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: irs on people, So that's all a part of this. 182 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: Now they do have to look at Kirsten's cinema of 183 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: Arizona to see if she will go along with this. 184 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: I think I can cut to the chase here, we 185 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: can skip to the end. She will go along with this. 186 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: In my opinion, that is my prediction. I do not 187 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: think that kirsten Cinema will be the lone Democrats senator 188 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: holding the line against this, just self defeat. It's good 189 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: politically for Democrats because it feeds their lunatic base what 190 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: they want, and it spreads money around, and money is 191 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: power and Democrats want to wield it while they have it. 192 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: And I get that. But in terms of what's actually 193 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: good for the American people in the economy, it's a 194 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: bad idea. It's a bad idea, and the notion that 195 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: it will reduce inflation. No serious person who looks at 196 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: the numbers and understands politics in America saying yeah, this 197 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: is going to really reduce inflation. It's not gonna do 198 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: anything on inflation. In fact, there's analysis it says it's statistically, 199 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: it's going to have an effect of zero on inflation. 200 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: So I think Cinema goes along with this. And remember 201 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: at the beginning I was surprised. I thought they were 202 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: gonna get I thought they were going to get Mansion 203 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: to cave a lot earlier. If you go back and 204 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: listen to I think when Clay and I were talking 205 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: about this. Gosh, I can't remember that. It's all blurn 206 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: together now. But whatever it was that they were first pushing, 207 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: was it about a year ago there, pushing Mansion on 208 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: the No, it was more like last fall. Anyway. I 209 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: remember thinking, Mansion's gonna cave, Mansion's gonna cave, And then 210 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 1: it seemed like he did in I said, wow, saving 211 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 1: the Democrats from themselves with this crazy spending. But well 212 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: he ended up caving just a little bit less, just 213 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: for a little bit less. Cinema is gonna cave or 214 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: she's gonna go along with this. It's not even really 215 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: fair to say she's caving, I think, because she hasn't 216 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: opposed it. They say that she's reading the bill. There's 217 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: some stuff about parliamentary process, the bird rule. They're gonna 218 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: be talking about poison pill amendments and stuff that you know, 219 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: point zero zero one percent of the American people are 220 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: know about and should know about, quite honestly, because you 221 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: get really deep into the parliamentary games that are played 222 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: in the Senate. Isn't funny we call them parliamentary games. 223 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: Of course it's a senate out of parliament. But you 224 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: know whatever, none of that's gonna stop this. Democrats are 225 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: going to get this thing through. That is how I 226 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: see this going. I would be completely shocked. Yeah, there 227 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: could be some COVID case that takes one senator offline 228 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: for voting for a few days or something. They're gonna 229 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: get this thing through. Why, because their power is at stake. 230 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: You want to see democrats motivated. Democrats who are elected 231 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: office when they are facing the wrath of the people 232 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: that they have done a bad job representing in government, 233 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: that's when all of a sudden they get really mobilized. 234 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: And that's what we're seeing right now. Farmers are sending 235 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: out the warning signals there's likely to be smaller yields 236 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: of crops, smaller production going forward. It's happening because an 237 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: ingredient central to farmers producing large harvests is in short 238 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: supply right now. Fertilizer future harvest will likely be a 239 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: lot smaller because of these fertilizer shortages. Over in Europe, 240 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: farmers are actually protesting new fertilizer regulations. It's gonna get serious, folks, 241 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: and as you know, the panic can spread quickly. That's 242 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: why you need to prepare today. Go to Prepare with 243 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck dot com.

This is bucked and we're gonna have 256 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: Glenn Jacobs of Knox County, Tennessee. He's the mayor. They're 257 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: joining us in just a few minutes. Yeah, he is 258 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: running for reelection there. Former WWE superstar Kane. Sure you will. Well, 259 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: those are who watched WWE familiar with his previous work there. 260 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: But he's a very pro liberty, pro freedom guy, and 261 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: I want to talk to Hi about what's going on 262 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: in his mind right now with both the spending situation, 263 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: the mansion bill, mansion humor bill, and then also Fauciism, 264 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: which is certainly not done. I mentioned it before. Anthony 265 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: Fauci is still making the rounds, and here he is 266 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: telling everybody that we still have to be masking up indoors. Unfortunately, 267 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: given the fatigue of this country from two and a 268 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: half years of this, everyone is tired of it. So 269 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: it's very difficult. Super imposed upon an anti vax type 270 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: feeling among some, super imposed upon the political divisiveness we 271 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: have in this country, which you know, and the social 272 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: media misinformation and disinformation, is very difficult to get people 273 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: to adhere to common sense public health measures. Notice how 274 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: he has to throw in there, just like a slimy democrat, 275 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: this term you know, they'll talk about common sense gun measures, 276 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: and then you'll say, what's that's not common sense, that's moronic, 277 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: that just will annoy law biding people and won't do 278 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: anything to bring down illegal usage of firearms. Period known 279 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: as a common sense health measures, it's not common sense. 280 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: Fauci defended masking up between bites on planes. I want 281 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: you to never forget that. Okay, he defended. This is 282 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: This is like a person telling you that a raincoat 283 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: will keep you dry if you wear it half the 284 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: time you're in the rain, or even if you only 285 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: take it off. If you take off the raincoat for 286 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: ten minutes, you get wet. If you take off the 287 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: mask for ten minutes or twenty minutes to eat your food. 288 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: By the way, on a plane, you're actually safe. So 289 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't even make any sense. Period. You're safe from COVID, 290 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: safe for a plan than your or elsewhere. But notice 291 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: he has not stopped. Remember what Kyle rees says the 292 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: Terminator movie about the Terminator that it does not feel 293 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: pity or a more and absolutely will not stop. In 294 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: this case, it's Fauci. He does not feel pity or remorse, 295 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: he does not get tired, and he absolutely will not 296 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: stop until you are masked. That's where we are. He 297 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: will not stop until that mask is on your face. 298 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: He will never go. He'll never think about this at 299 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: this point. If he admitted that he was wrong the 300 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: whole time, which he clearly was, why would any person 301 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: with an IQ that is above that of a toaster 302 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: ever listen to him again. So he's never gonna change, folks. 303 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: But I just like to point out this is still ongoing. 304 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: He has not given up. The government's chief virus czar 305 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: to this day under the Biden administration is an evil 306 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: commissar who keeps lying to you. Just remember that. We'll 307 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: talk to Glenn Jacobs here in just a moment. On 308 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: nine eleven, two hundred and seventy seven people were killed 309 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: in terror attacks on American soil. You and I will 310 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: always remember that day and never forget the bravery of 311 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: those who try to violently help on that dark day. 312 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: The Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been supporting America's heroes 313 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: and their families ever since. When a first responder or 314 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: military service member doesn't come home and young children are 315 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: left behind, Tunnel to Towers pays off their mortgage to 316 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: lift the financial burden and bring their family stability.

So when you 331 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: hear all this stuff, the back and forth about the 332 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: Biden Bill, how it's supposed to they're calling it like 333 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: the Reduce Inflation Act, what do you think about that? 334 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: As a guy who follows monetary policy closely and probably 335 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: is a gast a lot of the time at it. Yeah, 336 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: I think it'd be more aptly titled the somehow reducing 337 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Inflation by causing more Inflation Act, because that's exactly what 338 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: it is. What causes inflation, a rise in the general 339 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: price level. Is printing money, and they're printing even more money, 340 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: and the government's spending more money. So the idea that 341 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: this is somehow going to reduce inflation is preposterous. And 342 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: how are things going? You know, you're you're in what 343 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: an eastern eastern Tennessee right in Knox County. I thought 344 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: it was so interesting to read this morning that there 345 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: are the job hiring I think is slowing a little bit. 346 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: There are millions and millions of open jobs across the country, 347 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: but I keep hearing from individuals who either work at 348 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: businesses or own businesses, who say finding workers right now 349 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: is really hard. And more and more people, it seems, 350 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: don't want to leave if they have a job, the 351 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: job they have because they're afraid of a recession. What's 352 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: the economic picture like in Tennessee these days? In your 353 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: neck of the woods? Ours is great. We're doing really 354 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: well as far as our economies growing and all those 355 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: sorts of things. But we experienced that those same problems 356 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: with workforce, with inflation. As the county. You know, we 357 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: have capital projects that we're trying to do build roads 358 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: and buildings and no sort of things, and of course 359 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: they're all taking longer and costing more than we project. 360 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: So there's there are a lot of issues. Um. And yeah, workforce, 361 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: that's something that I think all of us are kind 362 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: of scratching our heads about. Uh. You know, there's there's 363 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: a lot of jobs out there and great opportunity um, 364 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: and high pay rates right now. But so what do 365 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: you think's going on with that? Glenn? I keep asking. 366 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: I mean I've asked famous economists this and they give 367 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: me a couple of different things to think about. But 368 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like anyone has the answer as to 369 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: why it is that demand for workers has fallen, according 370 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: to the Walsh Journal here to the lowest level in 371 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: nine months. Right. I don't have an answer either. I 372 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: mean I wish, I wish that I did. Um. There 373 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: are a number of factors. The cost of childcare, it 374 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: does hurt things. Um. You know, the fact that I 375 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: think that people got used to staying home through the pandemic. Um. 376 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: You know the government was paying people to stay home, 377 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: which I think was a huge mistake because that basically, 378 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, hey, great, you could stay home and can 379 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: earn a living. But that's not that's not how the 380 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: real world works. But now that some of those welfare 381 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: payments have gone away, not all of them though, but 382 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: some of them, so it is it is a bit 383 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: of a head scratcher of why this is happening. Um. 384 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: But as we see the economy contract, you will see 385 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: the workforce tighten up, um, you know, which is an 386 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: unfortunate way of dealing with the issue. You always want 387 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: to have plenty of opportunities for people. But you see, 388 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 1: I talked to businesses just like small businesses that are tired, 389 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: say a restaurant, of having to cover every shift, so 390 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: they're just done, you know. And I think we'll see 391 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: a wave of that across the country as the economy 392 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: worsens and slows going forward. Speaking of Glenn Jacob's mayor 393 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: of Knox County, Tennessee, and he is running for reelection. Glenn, 394 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: when is the election? It is Thursday. Actually, he just 395 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: got done with earlier voting here in Tennessee. We have 396 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: a two week period of early voting that ended Saturday, 397 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: and election day is August was coming up quickly. Top 398 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: priorities for you? If you spend four more years as 399 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 1: that mayor in Knox County, what are you gonna get 400 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: done for your face? You know? Tennessee is near and 401 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: dear to the heart of this show, because obviously Clay 402 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: is a board and raised Tennessee, and so I'm I'm 403 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: holding up a Tennessee flag in his absence today. Well, 404 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: across the country, we're seeing a historic realignment of economic 405 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: and political power, and we're seeing folks flee the Blue 406 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: States and frankly the COVID tyranny that we saw in 407 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: many places. They're coming to places like Tennessee, where we're free, 408 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: you know, and the people are voting with their feet. 409 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: So one thing we have to do is we're growing, 410 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: and we have to be able to deal with that 411 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: and accommodate that. And then also I think that when 412 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: we look at our workforced our economy, we have to 413 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: be aligned with the twin first century, which is an 414 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: innovation driven economy. So we have to do some things 415 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: with our workforce so that they're they're better trained to 416 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: compete in the global economy, which more and more is 417 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: high tech economy. Do you think, Glenn, before we let 418 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: you go, do you think right before you came on, 419 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: we played Fauci telling everybody to mask up indoors again. 420 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: And then he'll talk about like the blue and the orange, 421 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: and the and the magenta and the chartreuse zones or whatever, 422 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: like we're all supposed to pay attention to these color charts, 423 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: about when we're supposed to mask are in you're a 424 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: part of Tennessee. I mean, are people just done with 425 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: this or are you still seeing? Because I walking around 426 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: a lot of masks here in New York City. I 427 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: think people are done with it here. And Fauci is 428 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: an example of a bureaucrat who got power and just 429 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 1: doesn't want to relinquish it at this point. And I 430 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: think more and more people are seeing through that people 431 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: should be allowed to make their own decisions. And certainly, 432 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: you know, health health experts given their opinion is one thing, 433 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,959 Speaker 1: but people demanding that folks do stuff is something different. 434 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: And I think that we've all here in Tennessee have 435 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 1: had enough of that. Glenn Jacob's folks running for Knox 436 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: County mayor again, he's in office, run for reelection. Get 437 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: out there, and vote. Glenn, appreciate you joining us man 438 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: as always, thanks, thank you so much.

Attorney General 465 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: of Arizona gonna tell us what's up. Welcome back to 466 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: clay Anne Buck. This is Buck and the border still 467 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: a mess. Goadaway numbers are stratospheric border patrol just trying 468 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: to do their best every day, but overwhelmed with a 469 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: situation that is really the creation of the Biden regime, 470 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: which is to incentivize illegal crossing, to make it very 471 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 1: likely that if you come illegally, you can get in 472 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: and once you're in, you're definitely going to be able 473 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: to stay. That is the cost benefit analysis for people 474 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: breaking our laws at the border. We've got the Attorney 475 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: General of Arizona with us now, Mark Bernovich is also 476 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: running for a Senate seat in Arizona. He's part of 477 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: that primary. A. G. Bernovitch. Good to have you back, sir, Hey, 478 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: thanks guys for having me on. So what is the 479 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: latest from I mean, because you know, the American people 480 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: care about the border. They understand that with a Biden 481 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: regime that is sending people via plane all over the country, 482 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: that illegals coming across the border aren't just an issue 483 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: for border states, but clearly you're seeing it on the 484 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: front lines. What's the latest. Well, as we've discussed before, 485 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: every state is a border seat now because America is 486 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: being overrun not just by the cartels and the migrants, 487 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,479 Speaker 1: but by the lefty radicals who have taken control of 488 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: Biden's presidency. And we're seeing the consequences of that every day. 489 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: Whether you want to measure it in terms of more 490 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: than three million people that have illegally entered the country, 491 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: whether it's the eight hundred thousand gataways, whether it's the 492 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: record amount of sentinel flowing across our border just this 493 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: fiscal year more than eight thousand pounds. Guys, that's enough 494 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: fentinol to kill the entire United States potentially. So every 495 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: state now, and then you throw on top of it, 496 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: you know, people on the terror watch list. This actually 497 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: has the notorious distinction of maybe Joe Biden's worst ineptitude 498 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: and really has put him in a class when you 499 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: measure what's happening with our economy and what he's done 500 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: to see control of our southern border of the cartels. 501 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: Is the greatest threat to America right now is the 502 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: Biden presidency. And one just example of this hypocrisy that 503 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: I pointed out, you literally have immigrants coming across the 504 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: border that are unvaccinated, and meanwhile, someone like Novak Djokovic, 505 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: you know, one of the great tennis players in the 506 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: history of tennis and the number one ranked tennis player, 507 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: can't get into the United States to play a sporting 508 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: event in New York. That just demonstrates how crazy and 509 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: out of touch Joe Biden's policies are. And it seems 510 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: like no matter what the numbers are, there is no 511 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: effort at the federal level to try to make the 512 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: situation at the border better. In fact, from what we've 513 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: seen in recent months, states like Texas and Arizona have 514 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: tried to supplement the let's say lackluster border security efforts 515 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: of the federal government, and the Biden regime basically says, 516 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: don't do that, right, I mean they won't even it's 517 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: not just that they won't do the job and make 518 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: it really hard for border patrol to do their jobs. 519 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: They don't want anyone else to help out. Yeah, And 520 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: that's the problem is that I've actually issued I issued 521 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: the first opinion in the country saying that what's happening 522 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: in our southern border constitutes an invasion. And I urge 523 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: people to read that. Because the federal government is that 524 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: it's depex of power when it comes to national security 525 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: and border security. And there's been case laws, including cases 526 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: out of Arizona, where the Supreme Court has said when 527 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: it comes to enforcing border it's up to the Feds. 528 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: But but the US Constitution provides that the federal government 529 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: guarantees a federal form of government and that we are 530 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: supposed to be protected against invasion. And so when states 531 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: are invaded and the federal government won't do its job, 532 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: then states can step in and do something, you know, 533 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: erect barriers, you know, arrest and detain people that are 534 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: part of that invasion. But here's the problem. Literally, states 535 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: like Texas and Arizona are spending hundreds of millions of dollars. 536 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: And it's not fair because this affects not only Arizona 537 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: and Texas, but it affects the entire United States, whether 538 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: it's people on the terror watch list, whether it's the 539 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: record amount of drugs coming in, or whether it's the 540 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: millions of people I just mentioned three million people that's 541 00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: like the entire population of Kansas just since Joe Biden's 542 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: been president that has come over illegally United States. And 543 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is not only giving them hotel rooms and 544 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: the toughest choices whether they want a single or double 545 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: bad but he's also given him airfare and he's given 546 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: him access to government benefits. So we are paying the 547 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: cost not only out of our taxpayer dollars, but we 548 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: are paying the cost in human lives and human treasure 549 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: as a result of the failure of Joe Biden to 550 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: do his job in secure border. Speaking to AG Attorney 551 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: General Mark Bernovich of Arizona, he's running in that Senate 552 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: primary as well on the Republican side in Arizona. So 553 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: it is today voting day. By the way it is, 554 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: I would remind people to get out and vote, and 555 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,479 Speaker 1: we need a principled rule of law. Conservative and folks 556 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: like Mark Levin and Sean Hannity endorsed me because they 557 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: know I'm the guy that can beat Mark Kelly. By 558 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: the way, I wanted to ask you about this as 559 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: a piece earlier in the Washington Post talking about Yuma 560 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: and the illegal immigrant situation. There they talk about quote, 561 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: the polyglot qe in Yuma of what athorities call give 562 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: ups presented a jarring contrast to the wild chase is 563 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: happening about three hundred miles further east along the border 564 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: under a blazing afternoon sun in Nogalis a day earlier, 565 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: young men from Mexico climbed to the border wall every 566 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: few minutes. But it goes on and on to effectively 567 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: talk about people just turning themselves in. Just they walk 568 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: up to border patrol and they say, this is in Yuma. 569 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: Hey here, we are take us in. What happens now, 570 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: Just so everyone understands. If someone waves down border patrol 571 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: and says, okay, I'm here to surrender, which just means, 572 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, basically, bring me a sandwich and water and 573 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: process me. And I've seen that happen. But in Arizona 574 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: right now, what happens next? This is literally what's happening 575 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: in our southern border. And I've been there, I've seen it. 576 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: I just actually was talking to the mayor earlier today. 577 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: I've talked to the ranchers farmers down there. So you'll 578 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: have groups of migrants come over with their backpacks, with 579 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: their persons, with their carry on luggage. I mean literally, 580 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: you will get more of a hassle going through the 581 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: airport at TSA than people that are legally entry unt 582 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: right now, So groups of migrants come over, Border patrol 583 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: will go over, they process them. Then as they process them, 584 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: they'll take them out of the field, and then they'll 585 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: take them over to you know, ICE flash dhs for 586 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: processing where they basically are given paperwork and told to 587 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: report somewhere and then they're let out into our country. 588 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: And so one of the lawsuits we have is that 589 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: ICE will not pick up people that are being released 590 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: from custody and they have deportation orders. There's more than 591 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: a million people right now deportation orders that ICE is 592 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: refusing to deport that are just being released into our community. 593 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 1: And then we also know while border Patrol is out 594 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: of the field processing those individuals. The cartels then are 595 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: having the smugglers and the coyotes, you know, bring across 596 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 1: drugs and you know, all all sorts of feting, all 597 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: methanthet I mean, all that stuff. While border patrol is 598 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 1: busy processing people that have broken the law to come 599 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: into our country. So the Biden administration has incentivized and 600 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 1: decriminalized people breaking the law. And as they're doing that, 601 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: as the agents are busy processing them, the cartels take 602 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: advantage of it and literally they're smuggling the drugs across. 603 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: And that's why you're seeing an increase in high speed 604 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: pursuits and other parts. You know, you mentioned Agallas and 605 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: other parts of you know, places like Coaches County, even 606 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: in Panell County, which is just north of the border. 607 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: Because in the cartels are using that opportunity to bring 608 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: in massive amount of drugs in our country and they're 609 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: not It's not staying here in Arizona. This is method, 610 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: said Amine Sentinel Heroin. It's who comes here in Arizona 611 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: and then it's distributed throughout the country. I want to 612 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: ask you also just with the upcoming midterms, I know 613 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: you're you're up today for the primary for a Senate 614 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: seat in Arizona as a Republican, But going into the 615 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: midterms in general, how is Arizona looking you think for 616 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: the GOP overall. Obviously got a lot of attention to 617 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: the last election cycle, a lot of it not good. 618 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: But how do you think it's trending right now? And 619 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: what are some of the dynamics that you think will 620 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: play out for the Senate seat you're running for, but 621 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: also any congressional seats that are up, and of course 622 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: the governor's race. Well, look, in the Senate race, I 623 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: think we all recognize that Mark Kelly does not represent 624 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,399 Speaker 1: Arizona values. And you know, I'm someone that's actually won 625 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 1: twice statewide. I got more votes than Cinema McSally in 626 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, even though I was outspent, And so Arizonas 627 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: have a long history of rejecting self funders, and we 628 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: also have a long history of you know, splitting ballots. 629 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: So that's why in twenty eighteen, for example, you had 630 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: me winning statewide and Kirsten Cinema also on statewide, where 631 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: you had a Republican governor winning, but then the Secretary 632 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 1: of state went to the Democrats, and so Canadates do 633 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: matter in Arizona. But I always say that when you 634 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: have people that can articulate, stand up and defend conservative values, 635 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: we can win. And so we have that long history, 636 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: that long streak here of Arizona of you know, that 637 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: Barry Goldwater, you know spirit of healthy distrust to the 638 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: federal government. You know, we believe in federalism and we 639 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: believe in freedom, and candidates that can articulate in defend 640 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: those values can win. And I think that's as I 641 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: said in twenty eighteen while before I let you go, Mark, 642 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: I's got to ask you, if you're talking about it 643 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: a minute ago, is Cinema gonna go along with this 644 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: mansion Schumer Billy, any doubt in your mind about that? 645 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, I think that it's 646 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,879 Speaker 1: sad that Mark Kelly goes along with Chuck Schumer ninety 647 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 1: seven percent at a time and Bernie Sanders nine out 648 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: a ten times, which, as I've said you guys before, 649 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: even Bernie's wife doesn't agree with them nine at ten times. 650 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: I am not sure. I am not sure what she's 651 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: gonna do, But I think if she does, what's right 652 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: for Arizona. She has to reject a bill that is 653 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: going to massively increase the size and scope of the 654 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: federal government. That's gonna thank you, Sir ag Mark Vardovich. 655 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 1: Go vote everybody. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton on the 656 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: front line of truth.
