1 00:00:11,657 --> 00:00:14,937 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Shoe podcast, make sure 2 00:00:14,937 --> 00:00:17,577 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app 3 00:00:17,817 --> 00:00:23,137 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Between a nasty spill 4 00:00:23,177 --> 00:00:25,417 Speaker 1: off his bike, gaff him in at public addresses, and 5 00:00:25,457 --> 00:00:28,337 Speaker 1: a light daily schedule, but mildly, it's getting hard for 6 00:00:28,337 --> 00:00:30,977 Speaker 1: Americans to ignore the fact that President Joe Biden might 7 00:00:31,017 --> 00:00:33,817 Speaker 1: just be a little too old for the job. Worst 8 00:00:33,857 --> 00:00:36,057 Speaker 1: yet for the Democratic Party, according to a recent New 9 00:00:36,137 --> 00:00:39,097 Speaker 1: York Times poll, their voters are starting to take notice 10 00:00:39,177 --> 00:00:47,777 Speaker 1: as well. I'll have the details, and tonight's hold the line. 11 00:00:48,737 --> 00:00:51,777 Speaker 1: It is noteworthy that the percentage of women who registered 12 00:00:51,817 --> 00:00:54,937 Speaker 1: to vote and cast a ballot is consistently higher than 13 00:00:54,977 --> 00:00:57,377 Speaker 1: the percentage of the men who do so. End of quote. 14 00:00:57,777 --> 00:01:02,017 Speaker 1: Repeat the line, end of quote, repeat the line. Welcome 15 00:01:02,097 --> 00:01:05,017 Speaker 1: to hold the line on buck Sexton. So Biden, you 16 00:01:05,017 --> 00:01:07,097 Speaker 1: saw that one last week. I mean, the guy's a mess, right, 17 00:01:07,137 --> 00:01:10,057 Speaker 1: oldest president in history, too old for the job. It's obvious, 18 00:01:10,097 --> 00:01:14,617 Speaker 1: and even the Libs are starting to say this out loud. 19 00:01:14,657 --> 00:01:16,457 Speaker 1: Not because they didn't know this before, they knew this 20 00:01:16,457 --> 00:01:19,857 Speaker 1: all along. They're reckless, They're shameless. They thought they could 21 00:01:19,897 --> 00:01:22,977 Speaker 1: get away with this, their guy would be in power, Biden, 22 00:01:23,257 --> 00:01:25,417 Speaker 1: and it's not that he's a leader who has any ideas. 23 00:01:25,617 --> 00:01:28,617 Speaker 1: He would be effectively the trojan horse for a far 24 00:01:28,777 --> 00:01:32,457 Speaker 1: left agenda that would be pushed through him by his 25 00:01:32,537 --> 00:01:35,457 Speaker 1: advisors and by the Democrat apparatus. Right, so he got 26 00:01:35,537 --> 00:01:40,777 Speaker 1: to be the frontman for essentially AOC style policy. But 27 00:01:40,897 --> 00:01:43,377 Speaker 1: you have the super old white dude at the front 28 00:01:43,417 --> 00:01:45,417 Speaker 1: of the Democrat party to push it all through and 29 00:01:45,457 --> 00:01:48,257 Speaker 1: make people in the middle of the country think, oh, 30 00:01:48,257 --> 00:01:51,097 Speaker 1: maybe he's, you know, kind of a moderate or whatever. 31 00:01:51,137 --> 00:01:53,217 Speaker 1: As we know, that's all crap. It was all a lie, 32 00:01:53,337 --> 00:01:56,657 Speaker 1: and everyone's starting to realize not only is that the case, 33 00:01:57,017 --> 00:02:00,697 Speaker 1: but they can't prop this guy up enough anymore. Now 34 00:02:00,737 --> 00:02:02,657 Speaker 1: this is from today. Just to give you an example 35 00:02:02,697 --> 00:02:07,057 Speaker 1: of this, Biden says very clearly, like it never processes. 36 00:02:07,097 --> 00:02:10,937 Speaker 1: It seems that there's a problem here. The shoot in Parkland, Florida, 37 00:02:10,937 --> 00:02:14,417 Speaker 1: that horrible school shooting that happened in twenty eighteen. Yeah, 38 00:02:14,497 --> 00:02:16,977 Speaker 1: he was off when he said the year today by 39 00:02:16,977 --> 00:02:21,457 Speaker 1: a hundred years. Florid Hood, Texas two thousand and nine, 40 00:02:22,097 --> 00:02:26,737 Speaker 1: thirteen dead, thirty more injured. Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High school 41 00:02:26,777 --> 00:02:30,737 Speaker 1: in Parkland, Florida, in nineteen eighteen, seventeen dead, seventeen injured, 42 00:02:32,137 --> 00:02:35,857 Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen. He just says it. This sort of goes 43 00:02:35,857 --> 00:02:38,657 Speaker 1: along with it. You know, when the Spanish influenza was 44 00:02:38,777 --> 00:02:41,497 Speaker 1: ripping through the country. You know, it's a long time ago, 45 00:02:41,817 --> 00:02:45,577 Speaker 1: but anyway, you wonder if they put I am Ron 46 00:02:45,657 --> 00:02:49,137 Speaker 1: Burgundy and the prompter during her presidential address, Joe Biden 47 00:02:49,457 --> 00:02:50,977 Speaker 1: not only would he read it, would he even notice 48 00:02:51,017 --> 00:02:53,977 Speaker 1: there was anything wrong? Not clear? He definitely would read it. 49 00:02:54,737 --> 00:02:57,177 Speaker 1: Here's a New York Times headline, because they're even recognizing 50 00:02:57,217 --> 00:03:00,017 Speaker 1: they can't keep this charade going much longer. At seventy nine, 51 00:03:00,017 --> 00:03:03,457 Speaker 1: Biden's testing the boundaries of age and the presidency. President 52 00:03:03,537 --> 00:03:05,657 Speaker 1: Biden has said he plans to run for a second term, 53 00:03:06,537 --> 00:03:09,137 Speaker 1: but his age has become an uncomfortable issue for him 54 00:03:09,577 --> 00:03:13,057 Speaker 1: and his party. You don't say now, I'll admit that 55 00:03:13,337 --> 00:03:16,697 Speaker 1: I thought there's no way that Joe Biden would actually 56 00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:19,897 Speaker 1: never mind the election but win the nomination of the 57 00:03:19,897 --> 00:03:23,257 Speaker 1: Democrat Party because he's clearly too old, Lily not for this. 58 00:03:23,417 --> 00:03:26,937 Speaker 1: I mean, he was, on his best days, a mediocre 59 00:03:27,017 --> 00:03:31,537 Speaker 1: politician from a very small politically insignificant state. And yet 60 00:03:31,657 --> 00:03:33,897 Speaker 1: now this guy is president. You've got to be kidding me. 61 00:03:34,337 --> 00:03:36,857 Speaker 1: Go along, Joe, just go along, to get along. This 62 00:03:37,577 --> 00:03:41,417 Speaker 1: just true submediocrity was going to become president United States. 63 00:03:41,417 --> 00:03:43,537 Speaker 1: I thought that's not possible, not in this country, not 64 00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:46,697 Speaker 1: because even I disagreed with his ideas so thoroughly. He 65 00:03:46,697 --> 00:03:48,457 Speaker 1: doesn't even have any ideas. He just you know, it's 66 00:03:48,497 --> 00:03:50,417 Speaker 1: whatever's on the prompt or whatever the Democrats want him 67 00:03:50,417 --> 00:03:53,937 Speaker 1: to say. He is the quintessential empty suit. We all 68 00:03:53,977 --> 00:03:57,497 Speaker 1: know it. And he's a suit that's too old as well. 69 00:03:57,937 --> 00:03:59,777 Speaker 1: So you addle these things together, you think, how could 70 00:03:59,777 --> 00:04:02,657 Speaker 1: this guy be the president? Well, guess what. People are 71 00:04:02,657 --> 00:04:06,177 Speaker 1: figuring this out in ways that actually matter to Democrats Now. 72 00:04:06,217 --> 00:04:08,297 Speaker 1: They don't care that this is reckless. They don't care 73 00:04:08,337 --> 00:04:10,737 Speaker 1: that he's an imbecile. They do care that he may 74 00:04:10,737 --> 00:04:13,177 Speaker 1: not win again and that he may drag down their party. 75 00:04:13,377 --> 00:04:15,177 Speaker 1: And that's why The New York Times is starting to 76 00:04:15,177 --> 00:04:17,377 Speaker 1: write some truth out there. They're kind of floating trial 77 00:04:17,377 --> 00:04:21,537 Speaker 1: balloons within the party to see if people finally say, yeah, 78 00:04:21,537 --> 00:04:23,217 Speaker 1: I don't think we can make this work anymore. This 79 00:04:23,337 --> 00:04:24,617 Speaker 1: is from the New York Times of the Week in 80 00:04:24,697 --> 00:04:27,817 Speaker 1: Biden's energy level, well impressive for a man of his age, 81 00:04:27,937 --> 00:04:31,297 Speaker 1: is not what it was, and some aids quietly watch 82 00:04:31,417 --> 00:04:34,337 Speaker 1: out for him. He often shuffles when he walks, and 83 00:04:34,457 --> 00:04:37,177 Speaker 1: aids worry he will trip on a wire. He stumbles 84 00:04:37,177 --> 00:04:39,857 Speaker 1: over words during public events, and they hold their breath 85 00:04:39,857 --> 00:04:42,697 Speaker 1: to see if he makes it to the end without 86 00:04:42,697 --> 00:04:46,577 Speaker 1: a gaff. My friends, I think it's clear here that 87 00:04:46,977 --> 00:04:53,537 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is one press conference full of gibberish, coming 88 00:04:53,617 --> 00:04:57,977 Speaker 1: straight from what is obvious early stage, perhaps not even 89 00:04:57,977 --> 00:05:03,337 Speaker 1: that early dementia. He is one dementia gibberish press conference 90 00:05:03,417 --> 00:05:06,777 Speaker 1: away from the entire country having an oh my god 91 00:05:06,897 --> 00:05:10,257 Speaker 1: moment where it's clear that the twenty fifth Amendment US 92 00:05:10,337 --> 00:05:13,657 Speaker 1: be invoked. They talked about that with Trump because they 93 00:05:13,657 --> 00:05:18,137 Speaker 1: didn't like things that he said. Donald Trump was never crazy, 94 00:05:18,337 --> 00:05:22,977 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was never delusional in terms of mental illness 95 00:05:23,057 --> 00:05:24,897 Speaker 1: and none of that. But they still will talk about 96 00:05:24,937 --> 00:05:26,217 Speaker 1: the twenty for the moment all the time. They won't 97 00:05:26,257 --> 00:05:27,937 Speaker 1: talk about it with Joe Biden. Why is that? We 98 00:05:28,177 --> 00:05:31,657 Speaker 1: all know? Surbide himself, according to this Times article, has 99 00:05:31,697 --> 00:05:34,937 Speaker 1: said questions about his fitness are reasonable, even as he 100 00:05:34,977 --> 00:05:37,817 Speaker 1: reassares Americans he's in good shape, even for some admirers. 101 00:05:37,817 --> 00:05:41,017 Speaker 1: The question is whether that will last six more years, 102 00:05:41,057 --> 00:05:45,257 Speaker 1: six more years with this guy. Think about that for 103 00:05:45,297 --> 00:05:48,177 Speaker 1: a second. You know, six years when you're in your 104 00:05:48,177 --> 00:05:51,617 Speaker 1: thirties is very different from six years in your eighties. 105 00:05:52,337 --> 00:05:54,057 Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be his eighties. He's gonna be present 106 00:05:54,057 --> 00:05:58,177 Speaker 1: for six more years. Who thinks that this is responsible 107 00:05:58,297 --> 00:06:04,817 Speaker 1: or reasonable? Democrats, you're appalling. Appalling. Here's former Obama advisor 108 00:06:04,897 --> 00:06:08,257 Speaker 1: David Axelrod saying that he's concerned about Biden's ability to 109 00:06:08,337 --> 00:06:12,257 Speaker 1: run a vigorous, rigorous campaign and manage the presidency when 110 00:06:12,257 --> 00:06:14,817 Speaker 1: he's in his eighty first year of age. You don't 111 00:06:14,817 --> 00:06:17,977 Speaker 1: say watch President Obama was under siege as well at 112 00:06:17,977 --> 00:06:21,457 Speaker 1: this time in his presidency, and there was hand ringing 113 00:06:21,537 --> 00:06:25,537 Speaker 1: and quiet meetings going on as well. But he was 114 00:06:25,657 --> 00:06:29,657 Speaker 1: also thirty years younger than this president. And that is 115 00:06:29,697 --> 00:06:35,137 Speaker 1: a concern, the ability to run a rigorous, vigorous campaign 116 00:06:35,177 --> 00:06:39,697 Speaker 1: and manage the presidency at the same time when he's 117 00:06:39,817 --> 00:06:43,177 Speaker 1: in his eighty first year. And I think that's a 118 00:06:43,257 --> 00:06:45,217 Speaker 1: legitimate question, and it's when he's going to have to 119 00:06:45,217 --> 00:06:48,697 Speaker 1: consider when he toes up to the line and makes 120 00:06:48,737 --> 00:06:51,577 Speaker 1: the final call that he's going to go. I mean, 121 00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:53,977 Speaker 1: this is supposed to be a really, really challenging job 122 00:06:54,057 --> 00:06:58,017 Speaker 1: that taxes you physically, mentally, emotionally. Right, being the most 123 00:06:58,057 --> 00:06:59,977 Speaker 1: powerful person on the planet, which is what the president 124 00:06:59,977 --> 00:07:03,257 Speaker 1: of the United States is the big deal? Do we 125 00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:05,977 Speaker 1: really need somebody who shuffles around like he's lost and 126 00:07:06,017 --> 00:07:07,937 Speaker 1: about to fall over take a nap at any moment 127 00:07:07,937 --> 00:07:11,777 Speaker 1: in that job? We got three hundred and forty million 128 00:07:11,777 --> 00:07:14,257 Speaker 1: Americans give or ten? Is the best we can do? 129 00:07:15,097 --> 00:07:17,497 Speaker 1: Apparently not. He's a New York Times Siena College Research 130 00:07:17,537 --> 00:07:21,377 Speaker 1: Institute pole. Who should be the Democratic presidential nominee? This 131 00:07:21,417 --> 00:07:25,737 Speaker 1: is among Democratic voters, sixty four percent say somebody else, 132 00:07:25,897 --> 00:07:28,817 Speaker 1: ten percent refused to answer. Less than a third of 133 00:07:28,977 --> 00:07:32,937 Speaker 1: Democrat voters think it should be Joe Biden. So why 134 00:07:33,017 --> 00:07:35,457 Speaker 1: would anybody then be of the opinion that Joe Biden 135 00:07:35,497 --> 00:07:37,537 Speaker 1: is a reasonable choice for them the next time around? 136 00:07:38,377 --> 00:07:40,097 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at why they're not supporting him. 137 00:07:40,137 --> 00:07:43,137 Speaker 1: Same pole. By the way, among Democratic voters, again, it's 138 00:07:43,137 --> 00:07:46,577 Speaker 1: not Republican talking points. Democratic voters. The reason that it 139 00:07:46,657 --> 00:07:49,457 Speaker 1: wont him age thirty three percent, job performance thirty two percent, 140 00:07:49,457 --> 00:07:51,897 Speaker 1: he's too old and he sucks at his job. Pretty 141 00:07:51,897 --> 00:07:55,097 Speaker 1: straightforward for most people, being way too old. I mean, 142 00:07:55,137 --> 00:07:59,697 Speaker 1: we have retirements, mandatory retirements for airline pilots, mandatory retirements 143 00:07:59,697 --> 00:08:02,897 Speaker 1: for the military, for law enforcement, mandatory retirements all over. 144 00:08:03,537 --> 00:08:06,857 Speaker 1: We're gonna have an eighty one, eighty two, eighty three, 145 00:08:06,857 --> 00:08:11,337 Speaker 1: eighty four year old president. President. Democrats, they think that 146 00:08:11,377 --> 00:08:13,977 Speaker 1: they're the responsible series people. All of Trump is so scary, 147 00:08:13,977 --> 00:08:16,257 Speaker 1: These people out of their minds. What are they doing? 148 00:08:16,777 --> 00:08:20,097 Speaker 1: Oh well, you know, they figure, as long as we're 149 00:08:20,097 --> 00:08:23,857 Speaker 1: in power, doesn't matter, just push the same socialist claptrap, 150 00:08:24,417 --> 00:08:28,057 Speaker 1: doesn't matter who does it could be honestly, there are Democrats, 151 00:08:28,177 --> 00:08:30,297 Speaker 1: the third of Democrats that like that, Like Joe Biden. 152 00:08:31,457 --> 00:08:33,417 Speaker 1: If he were if he had a stroke and was 153 00:08:33,537 --> 00:08:36,217 Speaker 1: unable to continue in the job, but he was just 154 00:08:36,377 --> 00:08:39,297 Speaker 1: essentially in a hospital bed, they would say, this is fine, 155 00:08:39,297 --> 00:08:41,497 Speaker 1: He's still the president. No issue with them. They would 156 00:08:41,497 --> 00:08:44,257 Speaker 1: push that they're crazy. We're gonna have more on this 157 00:08:44,297 --> 00:08:47,697 Speaker 1: with the host of Can't Cancel, Rob Smith, Rob Smith 158 00:08:48,257 --> 00:08:49,737 Speaker 1: when we come back. First, I want to talk to 159 00:08:49,737 --> 00:08:51,177 Speaker 1: you about for checking your online data. A lot of 160 00:08:51,177 --> 00:08:54,297 Speaker 1: companies promise your privacy is guaranteed but we know that's 161 00:08:54,297 --> 00:08:56,297 Speaker 1: not true. That's why you need a new privacy and 162 00:08:56,297 --> 00:08:59,817 Speaker 1: cybersecurity application tool called Secure. It's spelled sek You are 163 00:09:00,217 --> 00:09:04,177 Speaker 1: secures using proprietary encryption and offering secure instant messaging and email. 164 00:09:04,457 --> 00:09:06,817 Speaker 1: With Secure all of your communications based on servers and 165 00:09:06,897 --> 00:09:09,297 Speaker 1: data centers hosted in Switzerland without using any of the 166 00:09:09,297 --> 00:09:12,137 Speaker 1: big tech platform. Privacy is a big issue now.

Joe Biden's age isn't the only thing 179 00:09:50,537 --> 00:09:53,097 Speaker 1: that's weighing down as poll numbers. Biden's performance on the 180 00:09:53,097 --> 00:09:56,257 Speaker 1: policy front has clearly been a disaster, leading a majority 181 00:09:56,257 --> 00:09:58,057 Speaker 1: of Americans to believe the country is heading in the 182 00:09:58,097 --> 00:10:01,537 Speaker 1: wrong direction. Yeah, no, crap. According to a recent Mom 183 00:10:01,537 --> 00:10:03,737 Speaker 1: at the University poll, eighty eight percent of Americans believe 184 00:10:03,737 --> 00:10:06,617 Speaker 1: the country is heading in the wrong direction, while just 185 00:10:06,737 --> 00:10:09,457 Speaker 1: ten percent believe it's in the right direction. Mother, whether 186 00:10:09,497 --> 00:10:11,617 Speaker 1: there's ten percent, I always want to know. They have 187 00:10:12,177 --> 00:10:16,657 Speaker 1: dyed blue hair, lots of suggested pronouns, and a whole 188 00:10:16,697 --> 00:10:19,417 Speaker 1: bunch of Ukraine flags in their bio. So what's going 189 00:10:19,457 --> 00:10:22,097 Speaker 1: on here? Americans really think that a man who's pushing 190 00:10:22,217 --> 00:10:24,417 Speaker 1: pushing eighty years old, there is any condition to write 191 00:10:24,417 --> 00:10:26,617 Speaker 1: the ship or is it time for the Democrats to 192 00:10:26,657 --> 00:10:28,937 Speaker 1: switch it up? Joining me now here at the table. 193 00:10:29,537 --> 00:10:32,417 Speaker 1: Rob Smith, host of Can't Cancel Rob Smith podcast, which 194 00:10:32,457 --> 00:10:35,417 Speaker 1: is great, Can't Cancel Them, and contributor here at the 195 00:10:35,417 --> 00:10:37,217 Speaker 1: first TV. Robin's going on? Man, how are you? What's 196 00:10:37,217 --> 00:10:39,217 Speaker 1: going on? Buck? Doing well? Doing well? Gonna be a studio? 197 00:10:39,257 --> 00:10:41,857 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, man. Here at NYC. At least they're 198 00:10:41,857 --> 00:10:44,737 Speaker 1: not masking us up and checking us for our vaccine 199 00:10:44,737 --> 00:10:49,377 Speaker 1: passportswey's not yet, not not in the meantime, so Biden 200 00:10:49,897 --> 00:10:52,417 Speaker 1: got the thing that I'm talking to Clay every day 201 00:10:52,417 --> 00:10:55,137 Speaker 1: about different conservators, you know, folks like you about that 202 00:10:55,137 --> 00:10:57,457 Speaker 1: are in the business with me. Um, what are they 203 00:10:57,497 --> 00:10:59,577 Speaker 1: going to do? Because it does feel like in that 204 00:10:59,577 --> 00:11:01,497 Speaker 1: New York Times article from over the weekend talking about 205 00:11:01,497 --> 00:11:06,257 Speaker 1: this of the monologue, Biden is one bad afternoon you 206 00:11:06,257 --> 00:11:08,977 Speaker 1: know of you know, sundowning is when dementia sets in 207 00:11:09,057 --> 00:11:11,057 Speaker 1: late in the afternoon for older people. If he has 208 00:11:11,097 --> 00:11:14,337 Speaker 1: a sundowning episode on Live TV's it's all over. And 209 00:11:14,417 --> 00:11:15,977 Speaker 1: I think that they know that they're going to have 210 00:11:16,017 --> 00:11:18,897 Speaker 1: to do something to replace this guy. So what's the plan. Well, 211 00:11:18,897 --> 00:11:20,897 Speaker 1: the thing about it is is that he's already kind 212 00:11:20,897 --> 00:11:23,817 Speaker 1: of had these moments when he's given these you know, 213 00:11:23,897 --> 00:11:27,497 Speaker 1: impromptu press briefings or these weird teleprompter or moments or 214 00:11:27,537 --> 00:11:29,297 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. But the thing about it is 215 00:11:29,297 --> 00:11:31,617 Speaker 1: is that when these moments happen, it's only sort of 216 00:11:31,657 --> 00:11:35,337 Speaker 1: conservative media or conservative commentators or whatever. They kind of 217 00:11:35,377 --> 00:11:37,537 Speaker 1: hop on them. And I think that what the left 218 00:11:37,617 --> 00:11:40,017 Speaker 1: is so nervous about right now is that these things 219 00:11:40,017 --> 00:11:43,777 Speaker 1: are becoming more and more common, and it's something that 220 00:11:43,817 --> 00:11:46,337 Speaker 1: they're not able to hide anymore. I don't know, what 221 00:11:46,377 --> 00:11:49,177 Speaker 1: the plan is. There's a lot of people that think that, 222 00:11:49,217 --> 00:11:51,377 Speaker 1: you know, there's this deep bench of Democrats that are 223 00:11:51,417 --> 00:11:53,297 Speaker 1: that are you know, chopping at the bit to run 224 00:11:53,297 --> 00:11:55,097 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. Is it gonna be Kamala Harris, 225 00:11:55,217 --> 00:11:56,937 Speaker 1: is gonna be Pete Buddha Judge is going to be 226 00:11:57,217 --> 00:12:00,617 Speaker 1: m Gavin Newsom. These people are less popular now than 227 00:12:00,657 --> 00:12:02,737 Speaker 1: they were even three to four years ago, so I 228 00:12:02,737 --> 00:12:06,177 Speaker 1: don't think that they are valid choices. And with Joe Biden, 229 00:12:06,257 --> 00:12:09,497 Speaker 1: it just seems like this drip drip drip of information 230 00:12:09,897 --> 00:12:12,697 Speaker 1: is really this stuff is coming from the left, and 231 00:12:12,857 --> 00:12:15,337 Speaker 1: this stuff is meant to get him to step down 232 00:12:15,377 --> 00:12:17,457 Speaker 1: because they know that they cannot have him at the 233 00:12:17,457 --> 00:12:20,577 Speaker 1: top of the taken in twenty twenty four. So the 234 00:12:20,577 --> 00:12:22,697 Speaker 1: thing that I find fascinating about all this as well 235 00:12:22,777 --> 00:12:25,497 Speaker 1: is that normally you would have I mean, the founder 236 00:12:25,537 --> 00:12:27,537 Speaker 1: has actually thought of this whole succession plan. There's a 237 00:12:27,537 --> 00:12:29,377 Speaker 1: reason we have a vice president and actually even have 238 00:12:29,737 --> 00:12:32,657 Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House as third in line. Nancy 239 00:12:32,697 --> 00:12:35,537 Speaker 1: Pelosi's super old too, by the way, So Nancy Pelosi 240 00:12:35,577 --> 00:12:37,937 Speaker 1: wouldn't be you know, you don't put Nancy Pelosi ahead 241 00:12:37,977 --> 00:12:40,257 Speaker 1: of at the top of the ticket, and everyone thinks, oh, wow, 242 00:12:40,257 --> 00:12:43,737 Speaker 1: we've dealt with the age problem, because even Democrats overwhelmingly 243 00:12:43,777 --> 00:12:46,297 Speaker 1: think that job performance for Biden end age. Those are 244 00:12:46,337 --> 00:12:48,817 Speaker 1: the two things that come up everywhere, which pretty pretty obvious. 245 00:12:48,817 --> 00:12:51,777 Speaker 1: Even the Democrats see this. But Kamala, I think the 246 00:12:51,817 --> 00:12:57,377 Speaker 1: Democrats realize, just doesn't have the personal popularity that Biden, 247 00:12:57,857 --> 00:13:02,417 Speaker 1: you know, over decades, literally decades of kissing baby, shaking 248 00:13:02,457 --> 00:13:04,377 Speaker 1: hands and doing the whole grin and staring to the 249 00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:08,177 Speaker 1: cameras thing had managed to build. So what is their 250 00:13:08,217 --> 00:13:10,417 Speaker 1: option then after the mid term? Like, how do you 251 00:13:10,417 --> 00:13:13,097 Speaker 1: see this playing out? Normally it would be Joe Biden 252 00:13:13,137 --> 00:13:16,337 Speaker 1: says I for reasons of health, I'm going to step aside. 253 00:13:16,617 --> 00:13:18,257 Speaker 1: We have a vice president who's going to step in, 254 00:13:18,337 --> 00:13:21,417 Speaker 1: and she then runs. But if it's not Kamala, does 255 00:13:21,497 --> 00:13:24,417 Speaker 1: Biden then just decide to push through and try to 256 00:13:24,777 --> 00:13:27,297 Speaker 1: get to reelection? Like, how do you think this plays out? 257 00:13:27,337 --> 00:13:28,937 Speaker 1: I don't know anyone. I don't think anybody. I think 258 00:13:28,977 --> 00:13:31,257 Speaker 1: democrats know. I don't think democrats know either. And the 259 00:13:31,297 --> 00:13:33,257 Speaker 1: thing about Kamala Harris is that she has just been 260 00:13:33,297 --> 00:13:36,257 Speaker 1: so bad. And this is not picking on Kamala Harris 261 00:13:36,257 --> 00:13:39,017 Speaker 1: so it's just I call a word salad, Harris, And 262 00:13:39,057 --> 00:13:41,737 Speaker 1: I think that when you have these word salad episodes 263 00:13:41,737 --> 00:13:44,057 Speaker 1: that Kamala has over and over and over again, what 264 00:13:44,097 --> 00:13:47,697 Speaker 1: it really does is underline how unseerious she is and 265 00:13:47,937 --> 00:13:50,697 Speaker 1: and how misinformed she is about a lot of the 266 00:13:50,777 --> 00:13:53,297 Speaker 1: issues that she's expected to speak on. So there is 267 00:13:53,337 --> 00:13:55,657 Speaker 1: no gravitas. Look, the one thing that they gave her 268 00:13:55,657 --> 00:13:57,977 Speaker 1: to do, she was the borders are right, and she's 269 00:13:58,017 --> 00:14:00,137 Speaker 1: sort of shared the responsibilities on that. That was a 270 00:14:00,177 --> 00:14:02,817 Speaker 1: complete disaster, and so she's ran to do all these 271 00:14:02,817 --> 00:14:05,377 Speaker 1: other things. So she's not the option. Like I said, 272 00:14:05,457 --> 00:14:08,057 Speaker 1: I do not know who the option is. I think 273 00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:11,137 Speaker 1: that they are very nervous right now. And think about 274 00:14:11,137 --> 00:14:13,697 Speaker 1: how poorly they're polling right now, think about how bad 275 00:14:13,737 --> 00:14:15,937 Speaker 1: that they're doing. And this is what the entirety of 276 00:14:15,937 --> 00:14:19,537 Speaker 1: the mainstream media covering for Joe Biden. And don't think 277 00:14:19,537 --> 00:14:21,297 Speaker 1: that when you see this story in the Times, or 278 00:14:21,337 --> 00:14:24,217 Speaker 1: you see these articles in CNN or whatever, don't think 279 00:14:24,217 --> 00:14:27,137 Speaker 1: that that hasn't been sort of gone back and forth 280 00:14:27,137 --> 00:14:28,897 Speaker 1: with some of the people in the administration right sort 281 00:14:28,937 --> 00:14:30,777 Speaker 1: of trying to pepper it over and make it seems 282 00:14:30,857 --> 00:14:33,697 Speaker 1: as sort of genteel as possible. They have some real 283 00:14:33,737 --> 00:14:35,337 Speaker 1: issues here, and I don't think they know how to 284 00:14:35,337 --> 00:14:37,617 Speaker 1: deal with it. So now we get to this phase, 285 00:14:37,657 --> 00:14:40,977 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, of all these different possibilities, these different 286 00:14:41,057 --> 00:14:43,897 Speaker 1: candidates who might emerge, Let's just assume for a moment 287 00:14:43,937 --> 00:14:47,737 Speaker 1: here that Joe Biden does step aside Peet Buddha Judge, 288 00:14:47,777 --> 00:14:51,177 Speaker 1: for example. It's someone that I think the elite Democrat 289 00:14:51,257 --> 00:14:54,497 Speaker 1: media gets very excited about it, even though if you 290 00:14:54,577 --> 00:14:57,137 Speaker 1: look at what's going on with airplanes and the transportation 291 00:14:57,497 --> 00:15:00,057 Speaker 1: part of this country, it's not good. Right in supply chain, 292 00:15:00,137 --> 00:15:03,097 Speaker 1: it's not good. His record is trash, and you look 293 00:15:03,097 --> 00:15:05,257 Speaker 1: at what he did as mayor, which is amazing. This 294 00:15:05,297 --> 00:15:07,937 Speaker 1: was his job mayor of South Bend, Indiana. They're gonna 295 00:15:07,937 --> 00:15:10,497 Speaker 1: put him forward. It feels like identity politics are pushing 296 00:15:10,497 --> 00:15:12,217 Speaker 1: that a lot. But how does Pete play for the 297 00:15:12,257 --> 00:15:14,977 Speaker 1: Democrat base. The thing about it is is that when 298 00:15:15,017 --> 00:15:17,417 Speaker 1: you realize that the Democrat base is the base of 299 00:15:17,537 --> 00:15:21,697 Speaker 1: elitists in New York, LA and in DC in large cities, 300 00:15:21,857 --> 00:15:24,057 Speaker 1: he plays well to that base. He plays well to 301 00:15:24,097 --> 00:15:26,497 Speaker 1: the elitist. The elitists are going to love him. I 302 00:15:26,537 --> 00:15:28,817 Speaker 1: don't think Pete Buddha Judge is going to be able 303 00:15:28,857 --> 00:15:30,577 Speaker 1: to win a national election. I don't think he's going 304 00:15:30,617 --> 00:15:32,697 Speaker 1: to be able to win independence. And the thing about it, 305 00:15:32,737 --> 00:15:34,537 Speaker 1: how does he do with the African American community by 306 00:15:34,537 --> 00:15:37,097 Speaker 1: the way, Oh, probably awful And it has nothing to 307 00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:40,057 Speaker 1: do with the gay thing. When he was running the 308 00:15:40,137 --> 00:15:42,617 Speaker 1: first time, there were lots of stories that were coming 309 00:15:42,617 --> 00:15:44,857 Speaker 1: out about his time and self bend and about how 310 00:15:44,897 --> 00:15:49,057 Speaker 1: he sort of mismanaged these police interactions with African Americans 311 00:15:49,057 --> 00:15:51,217 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. And if he does run, that 312 00:15:51,257 --> 00:15:53,777 Speaker 1: stuff is going to come back out again. But let's 313 00:15:53,777 --> 00:15:56,457 Speaker 1: talk about the fact that what you said, he is 314 00:15:56,577 --> 00:16:00,457 Speaker 1: failing in his job as Transportation Secretary right now. This 315 00:16:00,537 --> 00:16:02,777 Speaker 1: was supposed to be a big position for him. This 316 00:16:02,817 --> 00:16:05,497 Speaker 1: was supposed to be something that people could point to 317 00:16:05,497 --> 00:16:07,777 Speaker 1: to say that he has chopped to do something. And 318 00:16:07,817 --> 00:16:10,337 Speaker 1: he has been a failure at this on every level, 319 00:16:10,457 --> 00:16:13,657 Speaker 1: from the airplane issue to the issues that we had 320 00:16:13,697 --> 00:16:16,137 Speaker 1: with the supply chain that are still happening right now. 321 00:16:16,217 --> 00:16:18,737 Speaker 1: Right so when you point to the actual things that 322 00:16:18,777 --> 00:16:21,577 Speaker 1: he was supposed to do, he's a failure. They love 323 00:16:21,657 --> 00:16:24,697 Speaker 1: the fact that he's the first gay guy. That's a 324 00:16:24,737 --> 00:16:27,857 Speaker 1: real candidate for president, I guess, but that's just not 325 00:16:27,937 --> 00:16:30,617 Speaker 1: going to be enough after the disaster of the vice 326 00:16:30,617 --> 00:16:33,017 Speaker 1: president that we have. And how do you think Gavin 327 00:16:33,097 --> 00:16:35,777 Speaker 1: Newsom looks on all this? You probably saw he ran 328 00:16:35,937 --> 00:16:39,217 Speaker 1: some bizarre ad in Florida about how Floridians should move 329 00:16:39,257 --> 00:16:42,417 Speaker 1: to California because California is where freedom is. Yeah, I 330 00:16:42,457 --> 00:16:45,217 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, it's a lot of acrobatics involvementally 331 00:16:45,457 --> 00:16:48,697 Speaker 1: to get to that place. But he does have name recognition. 332 00:16:48,777 --> 00:16:51,057 Speaker 1: He has the biggest Democrat state in the country behind 333 00:16:51,137 --> 00:16:55,737 Speaker 1: him by population. He's a known commodity. He's, you know, 334 00:16:55,817 --> 00:16:57,937 Speaker 1: at the age where a really president should be. By 335 00:16:57,977 --> 00:17:00,097 Speaker 1: the way, we should stop thinking that presidents need to 336 00:17:00,097 --> 00:17:03,217 Speaker 1: be basically eighty. This has gotten really weird. So what 337 00:17:03,257 --> 00:17:06,057 Speaker 1: do you think about Gavin Newsom, because he's clearly poking 338 00:17:06,057 --> 00:17:08,857 Speaker 1: and prodding the electorate to see if maybe there's room 339 00:17:08,857 --> 00:17:10,577 Speaker 1: for him here. Well, the thing about it is that 340 00:17:10,617 --> 00:17:12,697 Speaker 1: I think the Democrat base, like I said, the base 341 00:17:12,737 --> 00:17:16,697 Speaker 1: of elitist, the base of you know, high wealthy people 342 00:17:16,697 --> 00:17:18,977 Speaker 1: in large cities. I think that they're gonna actually love 343 00:17:19,057 --> 00:17:22,057 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, And I think honestly that he probably could 344 00:17:22,137 --> 00:17:24,777 Speaker 1: make it out of a primary. The thing about it 345 00:17:24,817 --> 00:17:28,057 Speaker 1: is is that if he becomes the Democratic nominee, that 346 00:17:28,217 --> 00:17:30,137 Speaker 1: is not a candidate that's going to play to Middle 347 00:17:30,137 --> 00:17:34,417 Speaker 1: America in any capacity whatsoever. He is the height of elitism. 348 00:17:34,457 --> 00:17:37,937 Speaker 1: Remember the French Laundry dining experience when he shut down 349 00:17:37,937 --> 00:17:40,417 Speaker 1: restaurants over COVID and then was dining out at French 350 00:17:40,497 --> 00:17:43,217 Speaker 1: Laundry and had a fifty thousand dollars bar tab. Right, 351 00:17:43,377 --> 00:17:45,257 Speaker 1: this wasn't just the whole meal, this is the bar tab. 352 00:17:45,657 --> 00:17:48,737 Speaker 1: That stuff is not gonna play with the electorate. So 353 00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:50,937 Speaker 1: when we talk about Kamala Harris, when we talk about 354 00:17:50,937 --> 00:17:53,897 Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Judge, when we talk about Gavin Newsom, these 355 00:17:53,937 --> 00:17:57,537 Speaker 1: are three examples of how far gone the Democrats and 356 00:17:57,617 --> 00:18:01,217 Speaker 1: eleft have gone into this well of elites that only 357 00:18:01,257 --> 00:18:04,417 Speaker 1: appeal to Democrats in large city. Our friend Jesse Kelly 358 00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:06,737 Speaker 1: here on the first and some other people that you know, 359 00:18:06,777 --> 00:18:09,097 Speaker 1: you and I both know on the right started to 360 00:18:09,337 --> 00:18:13,137 Speaker 1: throw out this, you know, their dark horse candidate, their 361 00:18:13,337 --> 00:18:16,017 Speaker 1: surprise candidate for the Democrat side. That may do you 362 00:18:16,017 --> 00:18:18,337 Speaker 1: have somebody in mind that you're like, watch so and 363 00:18:18,417 --> 00:18:22,257 Speaker 1: so or maybe this you know people Eric Adams in 364 00:18:22,257 --> 00:18:24,017 Speaker 1: New York City. That's who Jesse is talking about. I 365 00:18:24,097 --> 00:18:26,857 Speaker 1: feel like there's no way Jesse thinks Eric Adams maybe 366 00:18:27,337 --> 00:18:29,617 Speaker 1: somebody who could who could do it. There are others 367 00:18:29,657 --> 00:18:33,217 Speaker 1: who are pointing at various either Democrat governors or mayors. 368 00:18:33,417 --> 00:18:35,857 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer, you know who I mean? Is there any 369 00:18:36,057 --> 00:18:38,497 Speaker 1: but is there anybody you think is going to put 370 00:18:38,537 --> 00:18:40,817 Speaker 1: their name in the ring or you know, put throw 371 00:18:40,817 --> 00:18:42,097 Speaker 1: their haut of the ring? I should say if the 372 00:18:42,097 --> 00:18:45,297 Speaker 1: Democrats side, You know when I never thought of this question, 373 00:18:45,377 --> 00:18:47,577 Speaker 1: But when you ask me this, I think, why couldn't 374 00:18:47,617 --> 00:18:50,937 Speaker 1: Tulsei Gabbert make another run for it? Right? So obviously 375 00:18:51,097 --> 00:18:53,537 Speaker 1: she's She's got a lot of fans in this new 376 00:18:53,577 --> 00:18:56,657 Speaker 1: conservative fan base now. But Dulca Gabbert is still a Democrat. 377 00:18:56,857 --> 00:18:59,097 Speaker 1: She's just what Democrats used to be before they went 378 00:18:59,177 --> 00:19:02,817 Speaker 1: completely insane. So I don't see any reason that she 379 00:19:02,897 --> 00:19:05,537 Speaker 1: shouldn't go for it again. I don't think Eric Adams 380 00:19:05,577 --> 00:19:07,337 Speaker 1: is going to do it, just because I think that 381 00:19:07,377 --> 00:19:09,337 Speaker 1: he's smart enough to realize that he has to fix 382 00:19:09,417 --> 00:19:11,497 Speaker 1: New York City, and if he's going to, I think 383 00:19:11,497 --> 00:19:14,057 Speaker 1: that he'll be a viable presidential candidate. At some point 384 00:19:14,097 --> 00:19:16,097 Speaker 1: in the future that he has to fix New York 385 00:19:16,137 --> 00:19:18,497 Speaker 1: City before he even starts thinking about that. In the 386 00:19:18,537 --> 00:19:20,977 Speaker 1: mistake the Blasio made was that he was trying to 387 00:19:21,057 --> 00:19:23,937 Speaker 1: run for president before he fixed New York City and 388 00:19:23,937 --> 00:19:28,137 Speaker 1: actually before he managed to destroy New York. Rob, thanks 389 00:19:28,177 --> 00:19:29,737 Speaker 1: for coming to studio Man. Good to see you always. 390 00:19:29,777 --> 00:19:33,737 Speaker 1: Buff All right, it looks like Elon Musk's purchase of 391 00:19:33,777 --> 00:19:35,577 Speaker 1: Twitter is dead in the water, and now the social 392 00:19:35,577 --> 00:19:38,097 Speaker 1: media company is vowing to take the billionaire to court 393 00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:39,577 Speaker 1: or just man on Earth. By the way, we'll have 394 00:19:39,617 --> 00:19:41,137 Speaker 1: more on that with the director of the Tech Policy 395 00:19:41,137 --> 00:19:44,417 Speaker 1: Center at the Heritage Foundation and former Facebook employee, Kara Frederick. 396 00:19:44,697 --> 00:19:46,657 Speaker 1: Right now, let's talking about protecting your home. I don't 397 00:19:46,657 --> 00:19:47,897 Speaker 1: know if you saw this, but there was a recent 398 00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:50,097 Speaker 1: story about an Arizona real estate agent that found the 399 00:19:50,137 --> 00:19:52,777 Speaker 1: home she lived and was listed for sale. Problem was, 400 00:19:52,857 --> 00:19:54,737 Speaker 1: she wasn't selling her home. She was the victim of 401 00:19:54,777 --> 00:19:58,057 Speaker 1: home title fraud, a devastating crime happening all over the country. 402 00:19:58,217 --> 00:20:00,417 Speaker 1: According to the experts at home title lock, the crime 403 00:20:00,457 --> 00:20:03,417 Speaker 1: is incredibly profitable and hard to detect. An identity fief 404 00:20:03,457 --> 00:20:05,897 Speaker 1: simply creates a fake title transfer for your home and 405 00:20:05,937 --> 00:20:07,977 Speaker 1: refiles as the new owner. Then he can take out 406 00:20:07,977 --> 00:20:10,737 Speaker 1: loans on your home or sell it. Goal Identity theft 407 00:20:10,817 --> 00:20:13,737 Speaker 1: services don't cover you, and neither there's homeowners Ensured home 408 00:20:13,817 --> 00:20:16,857 Speaker 1: title lock does. Home tittle lock puts a barrier around 409 00:20:16,857 --> 00:20:19,297 Speaker 1: your home's title. The instant they detect anyone tampering with 410 00:20:19,337 --> 00:20:21,417 Speaker 1: your home title, they help shut it down. Here's what 411 00:20:21,417 --> 00:20:23,657 Speaker 1: you should do. Go to hometuittlelock dot com and read 412 00:20:23,657 --> 00:20:27,017 Speaker 1: the testimonials from FBI agents and government officials. Then register 413 00:20:27,057 --> 00:20:28,657 Speaker 1: your address to see if you're already a victim and 414 00:20:28,697 --> 00:20:30,617 Speaker 1: don't even know it. When you protect your hometell them 415 00:20:30,617 --> 00:20:32,817 Speaker 1: Buck sent you to get thirty free days of protection. 416 00:20:33,417 --> 00:20:36,897 Speaker 1: Hometuttlelock dot com. It's hometittlelock dot com. Kara Frederick up next, 417 00:20:36,937 --> 00:20:45,737 Speaker 1: stay with us. Twitter is reportedly getting ready to sue 418 00:20:45,897 --> 00:20:49,297 Speaker 1: Elon Musk over the billionaires attempts to terminate his forty 419 00:20:49,337 --> 00:20:51,697 Speaker 1: four billion dollar buy out of a social media company. 420 00:20:51,977 --> 00:20:54,497 Speaker 1: Musk is arguing the tech company failed to provide key 421 00:20:54,537 --> 00:20:58,017 Speaker 1: information and is dramatically understating the number of bots on 422 00:20:58,057 --> 00:21:00,617 Speaker 1: the platform. So can Twitter force the Tesla CEO to 423 00:21:00,697 --> 00:21:03,577 Speaker 1: close the deal? Let's ask director of the Tech Policy 424 00:21:03,617 --> 00:21:07,537 Speaker 1: Center at the Heritage Foundation. Former Facebook employee Kara, Frederick, Kara, 425 00:21:07,657 --> 00:21:09,217 Speaker 1: you got to make sense of all this first today. 426 00:21:09,257 --> 00:21:12,417 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, No problem. So let's start 427 00:21:12,457 --> 00:21:15,177 Speaker 1: with this. Musk's lawyers are arguing that Twitter has refused 428 00:21:15,977 --> 00:21:20,097 Speaker 1: his reasonable request for over two months to get to 429 00:21:20,177 --> 00:21:23,657 Speaker 1: the bottom of the bots. My understanding, if this were 430 00:21:23,697 --> 00:21:25,457 Speaker 1: not Twitter, right, if this was just a general due 431 00:21:25,497 --> 00:21:31,017 Speaker 1: diligence issue for a merger acquisition, for an m and 432 00:21:31,057 --> 00:21:34,697 Speaker 1: a transaction, this would be seem entirely reasonable. So what 433 00:21:34,777 --> 00:21:37,657 Speaker 1: am I missing here? Yeah, well, it seems like we're 434 00:21:37,657 --> 00:21:39,817 Speaker 1: an uncharted territory when it comes to all of this. 435 00:21:39,937 --> 00:21:42,817 Speaker 1: So it's not just the bot issue that Elon has 436 00:21:42,897 --> 00:21:46,057 Speaker 1: honed it on. He basically also said that Twitter is 437 00:21:46,097 --> 00:21:49,337 Speaker 1: in material breach of the takeover argument because they are 438 00:21:49,377 --> 00:21:54,137 Speaker 1: making material changes to the platform without his consent. So 439 00:21:54,177 --> 00:21:57,497 Speaker 1: I think both parties actually have a case here. That's 440 00:21:57,497 --> 00:21:59,537 Speaker 1: why it's going to be a blood bath in court 441 00:21:59,657 --> 00:22:02,897 Speaker 1: in Delaware. And you know, both parties again, they've got 442 00:22:02,937 --> 00:22:05,697 Speaker 1: heavy hitters on either side, so I think we're in 443 00:22:05,777 --> 00:22:09,257 Speaker 1: for a protracted legal battle. I think both sides have 444 00:22:09,417 --> 00:22:12,977 Speaker 1: standing and if it gets to the discovery phase. As 445 00:22:13,017 --> 00:22:16,457 Speaker 1: Elon talked about in his latest meme, he can't help himself, right, 446 00:22:17,057 --> 00:22:19,617 Speaker 1: then we're hopefully going to be able to look under 447 00:22:19,617 --> 00:22:22,897 Speaker 1: the hood. And it appears that he sort of waived, 448 00:22:23,057 --> 00:22:25,857 Speaker 1: you know, a portion of his due diligence rights, but 449 00:22:25,937 --> 00:22:29,177 Speaker 1: not all of them. So I think hopefully everything will 450 00:22:29,217 --> 00:22:31,457 Speaker 1: be out in the open once all is sudden done. 451 00:22:31,497 --> 00:22:35,377 Speaker 1: And frankly, Twitter has is his own worst enemy. They've 452 00:22:35,457 --> 00:22:39,137 Speaker 1: undermined their credibility and now people who didn't realize that 453 00:22:39,217 --> 00:22:42,337 Speaker 1: these aren't neutral platforms, their ears are perked up a 454 00:22:42,337 --> 00:22:44,257 Speaker 1: bit and they're getting a front row seat to what 455 00:22:44,577 --> 00:22:48,177 Speaker 1: conservatives like us have known all along. These aren't neutral 456 00:22:48,257 --> 00:22:51,577 Speaker 1: gatekeepers of information. There's something a little more sinister. Afoot 457 00:22:52,177 --> 00:22:56,497 Speaker 1: must tweeted a meme that included photos in him reacting 458 00:22:56,537 --> 00:22:59,657 Speaker 1: to the legal battle with increasing levels of amusement. They 459 00:22:59,697 --> 00:23:02,137 Speaker 1: say I couldn't buy Twitter in this meme. Then they 460 00:23:02,137 --> 00:23:04,537 Speaker 1: wouldn't disclose bought info. Now they want to force me 461 00:23:04,577 --> 00:23:07,177 Speaker 1: to buy Twitter in court. Now they have to disclose 462 00:23:07,297 --> 00:23:10,417 Speaker 1: bought info in court. So Elon's having some fun with 463 00:23:10,457 --> 00:23:15,737 Speaker 1: this one. Why, I mean, so they want now they 464 00:23:15,737 --> 00:23:17,137 Speaker 1: want this is the part of it. A kid. They 465 00:23:17,177 --> 00:23:20,137 Speaker 1: were ready to shriek and scream and anything to stop 466 00:23:20,137 --> 00:23:23,857 Speaker 1: Elon from buying Twitter. Originally, employees were resigning and you know, 467 00:23:23,857 --> 00:23:26,217 Speaker 1: all the cat ladies were so upset, and the blue 468 00:23:26,257 --> 00:23:30,457 Speaker 1: haired Mafio was protesting the whole thing. Okay, so now 469 00:23:30,777 --> 00:23:33,337 Speaker 1: they're suing to make him acquire it. Is that where 470 00:23:33,337 --> 00:23:36,457 Speaker 1: we are? Is am I reading that right? Yeah? You are? 471 00:23:36,657 --> 00:23:39,377 Speaker 1: Because I think what they're realizing now is that Twitter 472 00:23:39,497 --> 00:23:41,857 Speaker 1: was gonna buy or Elon was gonna buy Twitter at 473 00:23:41,897 --> 00:23:44,777 Speaker 1: a premium. You know, he offered fifty four dollars and 474 00:23:44,857 --> 00:23:47,537 Speaker 1: twenty cents a share. Now, according to the Wall Street 475 00:23:47,577 --> 00:23:51,137 Speaker 1: Journals reporting, Twitter has lost eleven billion dollars in market 476 00:23:51,217 --> 00:23:54,537 Speaker 1: value since April. So they know that he was gonna 477 00:23:54,537 --> 00:23:57,617 Speaker 1: buy Twitter it was overpriced, and I think Elon knows 478 00:23:57,657 --> 00:24:00,217 Speaker 1: that it was overpriced at this point. So they're trying 479 00:24:00,257 --> 00:24:02,777 Speaker 1: not to get in trouble with their shareholders. They're trying 480 00:24:03,137 --> 00:24:07,297 Speaker 1: finally to do their fiduciary duty and actually consummate this deal. 481 00:24:07,617 --> 00:24:11,337 Speaker 1: But as you said beforehand, they to be dragged, kicking 482 00:24:11,417 --> 00:24:14,497 Speaker 1: and screaming in order to agree to the takeover because 483 00:24:14,497 --> 00:24:17,977 Speaker 1: of ideological issues. And now they're sort of realizing, ah, 484 00:24:18,097 --> 00:24:21,617 Speaker 1: this is probably in our material interest for Elon to 485 00:24:21,697 --> 00:24:23,817 Speaker 1: takeover because they're not going to get a better offer. 486 00:24:24,617 --> 00:24:28,177 Speaker 1: So Musk lawyers are claiming in an SEC filing the 487 00:24:28,217 --> 00:24:31,657 Speaker 1: Twitter with held data. Sometimes Twitter has ignored mister Musk requests, 488 00:24:31,697 --> 00:24:33,577 Speaker 1: sometimes it has rejected them for reasons that appear to 489 00:24:33,617 --> 00:24:36,857 Speaker 1: be unjustified, and sometimes it has claimed to comply while 490 00:24:36,857 --> 00:24:42,057 Speaker 1: giving mister Musk incomplete or unusable information. Do they I mean, 491 00:24:42,097 --> 00:24:44,297 Speaker 1: do we know so you work at Facebook? You understand 492 00:24:44,297 --> 00:24:47,057 Speaker 1: how this stuff actually functions? Obviously? Why we have you 493 00:24:47,097 --> 00:24:50,057 Speaker 1: here to tell us about what's going on? Do they 494 00:24:50,137 --> 00:24:53,097 Speaker 1: not know how many bots are on the platform? I 495 00:24:53,097 --> 00:24:55,497 Speaker 1: mean it's the digital world, right, I mean, can't they 496 00:24:55,497 --> 00:24:58,617 Speaker 1: get some sense of this? And why would they think 497 00:24:58,657 --> 00:25:01,817 Speaker 1: that that wouldn't be important information? If Elon were buying 498 00:25:01,817 --> 00:25:03,457 Speaker 1: a website. I know about this from friends of mine 499 00:25:03,457 --> 00:25:05,657 Speaker 1: who have had their websites bought and they said, well, 500 00:25:05,657 --> 00:25:07,697 Speaker 1: I want to see your traffic numbers, and they said, no, 501 00:25:07,857 --> 00:25:10,777 Speaker 1: we're just gonna like tell you it's big traffic that 502 00:25:10,857 --> 00:25:13,377 Speaker 1: wouldn't fly. And if you lied about the traffic numbers, 503 00:25:13,377 --> 00:25:17,497 Speaker 1: that would be frau exactly, And what these companies do 504 00:25:17,977 --> 00:25:21,817 Speaker 1: is they tend to hide behind proprietary data. You remember, 505 00:25:21,897 --> 00:25:26,577 Speaker 1: initially the CEO of Twitter, Agerwall, said, no, we can't 506 00:25:26,657 --> 00:25:30,217 Speaker 1: give you the exact number of bots because that's private 507 00:25:30,297 --> 00:25:33,337 Speaker 1: data that's proprietary to us as a company, and they 508 00:25:33,497 --> 00:25:37,177 Speaker 1: use that overlay to commit all manner of sins. So 509 00:25:37,257 --> 00:25:39,777 Speaker 1: Elon basically came in and said, I'm going to open 510 00:25:39,817 --> 00:25:42,617 Speaker 1: source to algorithm. And it's not just one algorithm to 511 00:25:42,737 --> 00:25:44,697 Speaker 1: rule them all. You know, there's a lot of internal 512 00:25:44,737 --> 00:25:48,817 Speaker 1: tools that these companies use they consistently tinker with. So 513 00:25:48,977 --> 00:25:53,017 Speaker 1: having some sort of transparency with the public availability component, 514 00:25:53,257 --> 00:25:55,857 Speaker 1: you know, I think this really just highlights how these 515 00:25:55,897 --> 00:25:59,977 Speaker 1: companies operate without transparency. They operate in the dark. And 516 00:26:00,057 --> 00:26:04,017 Speaker 1: having a policy solution that requires a degree of transparency 517 00:26:04,257 --> 00:26:06,737 Speaker 1: could save all of us all of this heartache. Could 518 00:26:06,737 --> 00:26:09,257 Speaker 1: save Elon a lot of heartache too. And he had 519 00:26:09,297 --> 00:26:13,017 Speaker 1: a great team programmers and data scientists noodle at this 520 00:26:13,097 --> 00:26:16,017 Speaker 1: problem for two months and they couldn't even get an answer. 521 00:26:16,257 --> 00:26:18,497 Speaker 1: So I do think Twitter has an idea of what's 522 00:26:18,537 --> 00:26:21,417 Speaker 1: going on in their platform, but it's a very difficult problem, 523 00:26:21,617 --> 00:26:23,537 Speaker 1: and I think you've got to crack open the books 524 00:26:23,537 --> 00:26:28,017 Speaker 1: at this point. So is it possible that this also 525 00:26:28,137 --> 00:26:31,297 Speaker 1: to your earlier point about Elon paying the premium? Is 526 00:26:31,337 --> 00:26:34,577 Speaker 1: this away? And remember, you know, usually when you go 527 00:26:34,617 --> 00:26:37,417 Speaker 1: into this kind of a fight with a major company, 528 00:26:37,857 --> 00:26:40,537 Speaker 1: an individual, even a very wealthy one, is going to say, 529 00:26:40,617 --> 00:26:42,337 Speaker 1: I don't want to spend all the Elon's a rich 530 00:26:42,457 --> 00:26:44,217 Speaker 1: guy in the world, right, so he can he can 531 00:26:44,217 --> 00:26:46,337 Speaker 1: fight in court all day. It doesn't make a difference 532 00:26:46,337 --> 00:26:49,777 Speaker 1: to him, really. But is he maybe trying to get 533 00:26:49,857 --> 00:26:53,177 Speaker 1: this out of principle to buy Twitter for less money? 534 00:26:53,257 --> 00:26:55,977 Speaker 1: Could that be, you know, meaning that he knows that 535 00:26:56,017 --> 00:26:58,457 Speaker 1: this thing was overpriced and now he's seen that and 536 00:26:58,497 --> 00:26:59,777 Speaker 1: he's like, I don't want to give these people an 537 00:26:59,777 --> 00:27:02,457 Speaker 1: extra ten billion dollars, so let's lower the price. Is that? 538 00:27:02,697 --> 00:27:05,257 Speaker 1: Do you think that maybe what's going on here? You know, 539 00:27:05,337 --> 00:27:07,057 Speaker 1: I think there's an element of that, And I think 540 00:27:07,057 --> 00:27:09,857 Speaker 1: there's been an element of that throughout this entire saga. 541 00:27:10,257 --> 00:27:12,897 Speaker 1: You've seen him kind of tap dance around all of this, 542 00:27:13,057 --> 00:27:16,817 Speaker 1: have lawyers start sending letters to lawyers and threatened pullouts 543 00:27:16,817 --> 00:27:19,297 Speaker 1: and not do anything, and now saying, Okay, I actually 544 00:27:19,297 --> 00:27:21,777 Speaker 1: am going to pull out. So I certainly think that 545 00:27:21,777 --> 00:27:24,257 Speaker 1: that's a component of this. As I've said before, you 546 00:27:24,337 --> 00:27:28,217 Speaker 1: don't become the world's richest man by not getting discounts 547 00:27:28,217 --> 00:27:30,177 Speaker 1: on things. You know, people get rich because they keep 548 00:27:30,217 --> 00:27:33,217 Speaker 1: their money. I think Elon is just a good example 549 00:27:33,257 --> 00:27:35,417 Speaker 1: of this. And you know he's got a lot of 550 00:27:35,417 --> 00:27:38,777 Speaker 1: other companies that he's dealing with. He wants to make 551 00:27:38,777 --> 00:27:41,817 Speaker 1: sure that, yes, this is an ideological effort, but at 552 00:27:41,817 --> 00:27:44,417 Speaker 1: the same time, he wants to see a path toward growth. 553 00:27:44,497 --> 00:27:47,137 Speaker 1: He wants to see a path toward material success. So 554 00:27:47,417 --> 00:27:50,897 Speaker 1: I think you nailed it. This could be a part 555 00:27:50,977 --> 00:27:53,657 Speaker 1: of his plan all a lot. I won't ask for 556 00:27:53,657 --> 00:27:55,817 Speaker 1: a definitive answer, because that's not fair. People hate when 557 00:27:55,817 --> 00:27:57,337 Speaker 1: I do that on TV. But just tell me this 558 00:27:58,017 --> 00:28:00,977 Speaker 1: more or less likely in your mind that Elon Musk 559 00:28:01,377 --> 00:28:03,497 Speaker 1: will be Is it a more likely proposition or less 560 00:28:03,537 --> 00:28:05,737 Speaker 1: likely proposition that in twenty twenty three he'll be the 561 00:28:05,777 --> 00:28:09,097 Speaker 1: owner of Twitter? I think it's more likely. I'm gonna 562 00:28:09,137 --> 00:28:11,857 Speaker 1: be honest, Siday. I would have given you aine a 563 00:28:11,937 --> 00:28:14,177 Speaker 1: different answer, but now that we've seen a lot of 564 00:28:14,217 --> 00:28:16,617 Speaker 1: the information, have had time to sit, you know, I 565 00:28:16,617 --> 00:28:19,097 Speaker 1: don't think he wants to throw away just a billion dollars. 566 00:28:19,137 --> 00:28:21,137 Speaker 1: I think he's exposed them, and I think he wants 567 00:28:21,137 --> 00:28:23,737 Speaker 1: to finish this out. I think that's in his personality. 568 00:28:24,457 --> 00:28:26,537 Speaker 1: All right, let's hope so Kara, thanks so much. We'll 569 00:28:26,537 --> 00:28:30,897 Speaker 1: talk to you soon.

Journey Now to 604 00:30:16,457 --> 00:30:21,017 Speaker 1: discuss iHeart radio talk show host on seven wo R, 605 00:30:21,377 --> 00:30:24,617 Speaker 1: Mark Simo and Marker to see Again great to see you. 606 00:30:24,697 --> 00:30:28,457 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me so buddy. From the beginning, it 607 00:30:28,537 --> 00:30:32,137 Speaker 1: felt like this was likely to turn into a much 608 00:30:32,177 --> 00:30:34,897 Speaker 1: bigger than local crime story. I think we're already there 609 00:30:35,137 --> 00:30:37,497 Speaker 1: a lot of coverage on Fox News, Daily Mail, some 610 00:30:37,577 --> 00:30:40,497 Speaker 1: of the biggest news outlets on this one. What do 611 00:30:40,537 --> 00:30:46,177 Speaker 1: you think the district Attorney Alvin Bragg is thinking here, Well, 612 00:30:46,257 --> 00:30:49,537 Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever thinking you gotta give these Democrats. 613 00:30:49,537 --> 00:30:52,017 Speaker 1: He's woke Democrats credit no matter how far they pushed 614 00:30:52,017 --> 00:30:54,497 Speaker 1: the envelope. When you think they can't get any words, 615 00:30:54,537 --> 00:30:58,577 Speaker 1: they always get worse. This guy is just a lunatic. 616 00:30:58,617 --> 00:31:01,857 Speaker 1: He's a lunatictors or attorney, no bail, no jail, doesn't 617 00:31:01,857 --> 00:31:04,177 Speaker 1: want anybody to go to prison. This guy's been out 618 00:31:04,217 --> 00:31:07,377 Speaker 1: eight times, this horrible monster. The last time was for 619 00:31:07,417 --> 00:31:10,017 Speaker 1: assaulting a cop. And that is to a whole new level. 620 00:31:10,497 --> 00:31:13,177 Speaker 1: Not only can these guys attack you left and right, 621 00:31:13,377 --> 00:31:15,577 Speaker 1: you have to submit to the attack if you try 622 00:31:15,617 --> 00:31:18,337 Speaker 1: to resist, and once they come behind the counter at 623 00:31:18,337 --> 00:31:20,617 Speaker 1: the bodega, you gotta do whatever you have to do. 624 00:31:20,737 --> 00:31:22,977 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the point, mark right, You just 625 00:31:23,057 --> 00:31:25,657 Speaker 1: you just set it up so that we know the 626 00:31:25,897 --> 00:31:27,977 Speaker 1: DA and this is true. A lot of these sourist 627 00:31:28,017 --> 00:31:30,257 Speaker 1: das don't want to send anybody to prison, right. I 628 00:31:30,257 --> 00:31:33,697 Speaker 1: don't send anyone to jail until someone is defending themselves 629 00:31:33,737 --> 00:31:37,697 Speaker 1: against a career criminal. Then it's murder charges, second degree murder, 630 00:31:37,737 --> 00:31:41,337 Speaker 1: not even an involuntary manslaughter charge here, Yeah, it's the 631 00:31:41,417 --> 00:31:44,897 Speaker 1: highest charge. They will not send anybody to jail except 632 00:31:44,897 --> 00:31:47,177 Speaker 1: for this poor guy and Donald Trump. It's the only 633 00:31:47,217 --> 00:31:50,377 Speaker 1: people they want to put in jail, this guy and hey. 634 00:31:50,417 --> 00:31:52,737 Speaker 1: Also remember he's just barely ekeing out a living. This 635 00:31:52,817 --> 00:31:55,897 Speaker 1: immigrants somehow got this bodega good for him, and he 636 00:31:55,937 --> 00:31:57,977 Speaker 1: can't go back there. He can never go back there 637 00:31:58,017 --> 00:31:59,697 Speaker 1: no matter what. He's going to be a target for 638 00:31:59,777 --> 00:32:01,737 Speaker 1: who knows who is going to come after him. So 639 00:32:01,777 --> 00:32:03,417 Speaker 1: I don't know what this poor guy's going to do. 640 00:32:04,057 --> 00:32:06,377 Speaker 1: And also it's even more clear, you know, they this 641 00:32:06,457 --> 00:32:08,737 Speaker 1: is one of these instances where it's not a he said, 642 00:32:08,777 --> 00:32:11,657 Speaker 1: he said, or the facts are in dispute. As we're 643 00:32:11,657 --> 00:32:14,857 Speaker 1: showing her on the screen, there are multiple camera angles 644 00:32:15,377 --> 00:32:19,697 Speaker 1: showing exactly what transpired here in the physical altercation. It's 645 00:32:19,737 --> 00:32:26,737 Speaker 1: clear that this individual simon Um attacked Alba twice cornered 646 00:32:26,777 --> 00:32:29,497 Speaker 1: him Alba's like sixty two years old. The other guy 647 00:32:29,657 --> 00:32:32,217 Speaker 1: is I think in his thirties. And and now there's 648 00:32:32,337 --> 00:32:34,777 Speaker 1: video of Alba even telling the guy, look, I don't 649 00:32:34,817 --> 00:32:38,497 Speaker 1: want a problem. I don't want a problem. Watch every 650 00:32:38,577 --> 00:32:59,537 Speaker 1: year guy walking the walking, bring out, you come out, 651 00:33:00,097 --> 00:33:12,017 Speaker 1: what you do? You don't have anything here? I mean, 652 00:33:12,417 --> 00:33:14,617 Speaker 1: it's your point mark. The guy's thaying, look, I don't 653 00:33:14,617 --> 00:33:17,217 Speaker 1: want a problem. You know, if Simon had stayed on 654 00:33:17,257 --> 00:33:19,097 Speaker 1: the other side of the counter and they said stayed, 655 00:33:19,217 --> 00:33:21,937 Speaker 1: you know, stayed as a verbal altercation. Okay, you can't 656 00:33:21,937 --> 00:33:23,617 Speaker 1: pull out a knife and stab the guy because you 657 00:33:23,657 --> 00:33:26,697 Speaker 1: don't like what he says. He cornered him, he assaulted him, 658 00:33:27,017 --> 00:33:29,577 Speaker 1: Alba tried to get away. This is all on video, 659 00:33:30,057 --> 00:33:32,697 Speaker 1: and then he assaulted him again. Like so what I mean? 660 00:33:32,777 --> 00:33:35,697 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, what does the prosecutor in New York 661 00:33:36,177 --> 00:33:39,537 Speaker 1: think that Jose Albo, an immigrant from Dominican Republic, not 662 00:33:39,617 --> 00:33:43,417 Speaker 1: some powerful guy. What's he supposed to do? This district 663 00:33:43,417 --> 00:33:46,057 Speaker 1: attorney doesn't think he's just a bleeding heart, woke liberal. 664 00:33:47,017 --> 00:33:50,377 Speaker 1: This poor guy. You know, it's Alvin Bragg that caused 665 00:33:50,377 --> 00:33:52,777 Speaker 1: the death of Simon. Alvin Bragg, first of all, stop 666 00:33:52,817 --> 00:33:56,897 Speaker 1: prosecuting shoplifting. Shoplifting is totally out of control in New York. 667 00:33:57,137 --> 00:34:01,537 Speaker 1: The woman's debit card wasn't working, so her mentality now 668 00:34:01,577 --> 00:34:03,697 Speaker 1: and the boyfriend is that you're supposed to just hand 669 00:34:03,737 --> 00:34:06,417 Speaker 1: them as something that they shouldn't have to pay for it. Anyway, 670 00:34:06,657 --> 00:34:08,337 Speaker 1: you know, when she said I'm gonna go get my boyfriend, 671 00:34:08,337 --> 00:34:09,937 Speaker 1: I would assume that men he'll come in with the 672 00:34:10,097 --> 00:34:12,737 Speaker 1: money and pay for these things. And my card doesn't work. 673 00:34:12,737 --> 00:34:14,577 Speaker 1: But he comes in and throws this poor guy against 674 00:34:14,617 --> 00:34:17,137 Speaker 1: the wall. And when you're getting pummeled, if you have 675 00:34:17,217 --> 00:34:19,817 Speaker 1: a knife, you what more excuse do you need to 676 00:34:19,897 --> 00:34:21,697 Speaker 1: use it? How do you have to get beat to 677 00:34:21,777 --> 00:34:26,937 Speaker 1: a pulp? And by the way, the girlfriend here, Simon's girlfriend, 678 00:34:26,937 --> 00:34:30,817 Speaker 1: there's on video. She flashed the knife at him before 679 00:34:30,857 --> 00:34:33,097 Speaker 1: the boyfriend came in, and then after she comes in 680 00:34:33,617 --> 00:34:37,297 Speaker 1: and then she stabs him, and she stabs Albo and 681 00:34:37,417 --> 00:34:40,097 Speaker 1: is not arrested. So now she can do this kind 682 00:34:40,137 --> 00:34:42,457 Speaker 1: of reprisal stabbing. And there's no I mean, it's just 683 00:34:42,737 --> 00:34:46,497 Speaker 1: the whole thing. It seems like it's just backwards. Yeah. Also, 684 00:34:47,097 --> 00:34:49,257 Speaker 1: let's not let Kathy Hockel, the governor of New York 685 00:34:49,257 --> 00:34:51,177 Speaker 1: off the hook. She's to blame for this. She's in 686 00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,817 Speaker 1: charge of this district attorney. The discrettorney works for her. 687 00:34:53,817 --> 00:34:55,817 Speaker 1: It's a state job. She can fire him. She should 688 00:34:55,857 --> 00:34:58,417 Speaker 1: have called Bragg and said drop all charges immediately or 689 00:34:58,457 --> 00:35:00,537 Speaker 1: I will fire you. She should have done that, and 690 00:35:00,617 --> 00:35:02,417 Speaker 1: she didn't do it. Yeah, I know Lee's Eldon will 691 00:35:02,457 --> 00:35:04,057 Speaker 1: get to him in a second. He's made I think, 692 00:35:04,057 --> 00:35:06,897 Speaker 1: a great campaign pitch for exactly that when it comes 693 00:35:06,897 --> 00:35:08,577 Speaker 1: to this disc attorney, that he's gonna fire him on 694 00:35:08,657 --> 00:35:11,097 Speaker 1: day one. But just for examp, I mean, here's Fernando 695 00:35:11,137 --> 00:35:15,417 Speaker 1: Matteo of United Bodegas of America and he's out there saying, look, 696 00:35:15,617 --> 00:35:18,497 Speaker 1: all the charges should be dropped. Your watch. We believe 697 00:35:19,017 --> 00:35:23,457 Speaker 1: that he'll say Alba's charges should all be dropped, murder 698 00:35:23,577 --> 00:35:27,017 Speaker 1: charges than any charges that he's being charged with, because 699 00:35:27,057 --> 00:35:30,777 Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do. Do you think given 700 00:35:30,817 --> 00:35:33,497 Speaker 1: the outcry attention I know you're putting on this marks 701 00:35:33,617 --> 00:35:35,737 Speaker 1: as a New York host with a huge audience, and 702 00:35:36,217 --> 00:35:39,137 Speaker 1: there's there's a national media attention that's finally come on this, 703 00:35:39,577 --> 00:35:41,257 Speaker 1: do you think they're going to drop the charges? Are 704 00:35:41,257 --> 00:35:43,577 Speaker 1: they going to take this thing? Is the discrettorney going 705 00:35:43,577 --> 00:35:44,937 Speaker 1: to take it to the mat and put it before 706 00:35:44,937 --> 00:35:48,617 Speaker 1: a jury. I don't know what Jerry would convict this guy, 707 00:35:48,617 --> 00:35:50,257 Speaker 1: and I think at some point it's got to get dropped. 708 00:35:50,297 --> 00:35:52,417 Speaker 1: It's up to Leeze Elden and everybody in New York 709 00:35:52,457 --> 00:35:55,257 Speaker 1: to put pressure on local. She can make that phone call, 710 00:35:55,497 --> 00:35:58,897 Speaker 1: order him to drop this stuff and let the guy go. 711 00:35:59,297 --> 00:36:01,537 Speaker 1: Even Joe Biden, he's the President United States. This crime 712 00:36:01,537 --> 00:36:04,137 Speaker 1: wave is all over the country now, not just cities, 713 00:36:04,177 --> 00:36:06,097 Speaker 1: but suburbs of rural areas are going to crime with 714 00:36:06,457 --> 00:36:08,377 Speaker 1: He should speak out and say it's time to get 715 00:36:08,417 --> 00:36:12,497 Speaker 1: tough on crime. She's got to do something about this. 716 00:36:12,497 --> 00:36:15,097 Speaker 1: This is the worst district attorney ever. You know, it's 717 00:36:15,097 --> 00:36:20,537 Speaker 1: one thing to normalize shoplifting by doing this. What what 718 00:36:20,657 --> 00:36:22,617 Speaker 1: could you ever do in self defense? If this is 719 00:36:22,657 --> 00:36:26,097 Speaker 1: in self defense, whatever could be considered self defense. I mean, 720 00:36:26,097 --> 00:36:28,777 Speaker 1: this is on video. It's clear who provoked it. It's 721 00:36:28,817 --> 00:36:31,097 Speaker 1: clear who the attacker is. More than once, actually it 722 00:36:31,137 --> 00:36:33,577 Speaker 1: wasn't even just one physical assault, it was two. He's 723 00:36:33,617 --> 00:36:35,857 Speaker 1: bigger than the guy. He's got him cornered. I mean, 724 00:36:36,097 --> 00:36:38,857 Speaker 1: it's effectively a senior citizen he's attacking here by the 725 00:36:38,857 --> 00:36:41,257 Speaker 1: way New York governor hopeful Lee Zelden, You and I 726 00:36:41,297 --> 00:36:45,377 Speaker 1: both know and like Lee. He shared a support or 727 00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:48,217 Speaker 1: Jose Alba on Twitter. He wrote that Jose had every 728 00:36:48,377 --> 00:36:50,857 Speaker 1: right to defend himself when he was attacked as Bodega 729 00:36:50,977 --> 00:36:54,297 Speaker 1: shouldn't face any negative consequences at all for what happened. Meanwhile, 730 00:36:54,337 --> 00:36:56,417 Speaker 1: the woman who stabbed Alba has him in charge. With anything. 731 00:36:56,457 --> 00:37:00,337 Speaker 1: I will fire Alvin Bragg on day one as governor. 732 00:37:00,657 --> 00:37:03,137 Speaker 1: Any doubt in your mind if the folks of New 733 00:37:03,217 --> 00:37:05,617 Speaker 1: York make the right move here and put Lee in office, 734 00:37:05,657 --> 00:37:08,937 Speaker 1: that he would fire the Discritturney on day one. Mark Oh, 735 00:37:08,977 --> 00:37:11,417 Speaker 1: I know you've talked to him about it. He absolutely will, 736 00:37:11,537 --> 00:37:13,297 Speaker 1: And the only problem is if he catches up to 737 00:37:13,417 --> 00:37:16,577 Speaker 1: Hocal in the polls, which is possible, she'll fire him 738 00:37:16,577 --> 00:37:20,457 Speaker 1: just to get the issue off the table. So he's 739 00:37:20,497 --> 00:37:23,417 Speaker 1: got to keep the pressure on her. She's got a fire, 740 00:37:23,657 --> 00:37:26,737 Speaker 1: she's said in the beginning when pressured, Well, let me see, 741 00:37:26,817 --> 00:37:28,737 Speaker 1: let's wait for the data. I'll give him a chance. Well, 742 00:37:28,737 --> 00:37:31,657 Speaker 1: we've got crime up forty percent since Bragg took office. 743 00:37:31,937 --> 00:37:34,217 Speaker 1: We've got dead bodies everywhere. Go to the morgue. If 744 00:37:34,217 --> 00:37:37,057 Speaker 1: you want your data. That's where it is. It's astonishing 745 00:37:37,217 --> 00:37:39,977 Speaker 1: you think Hocal is getting more and more vulnerable each 746 00:37:40,017 --> 00:37:43,417 Speaker 1: month when it comes to this election. Yeah, I hope so. 747 00:37:43,457 --> 00:37:46,137 Speaker 1: Because she's got a corruption problem, she's got a terrible 748 00:37:46,177 --> 00:37:50,057 Speaker 1: crime problem, a tax problem. She's putting in congestion pricing 749 00:37:50,057 --> 00:37:52,017 Speaker 1: on New York City. There's nobody here who needs this 750 00:37:52,097 --> 00:37:55,537 Speaker 1: congestion pricing. And it's not fifty cents to come into Midtown. 751 00:37:55,577 --> 00:37:58,417 Speaker 1: It's like twenty five bucks to cross that street. So 752 00:37:58,737 --> 00:38:02,537 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. She's got to go. Mark. Appreciate you being 753 00:38:02,577 --> 00:38:05,177 Speaker 1: with us, man. We'll talk to you about this again soon. Thanks. 754 00:38:07,097 --> 00:38:09,497 Speaker 1: White House is considering an interesting option when it comes 755 00:38:09,497 --> 00:38:11,977 Speaker 1: to addressing the issue of abortion. We're gonna have that 756 00:38:11,977 --> 00:38:20,417 Speaker 1: story and more and Quick Hits stay with us. The 757 00:38:20,457 --> 00:38:23,217 Speaker 1: White House is considering a public health emergency to address 758 00:38:23,257 --> 00:38:26,657 Speaker 1: the issue of abortion, and hunter Bind's behavior somehow goes 759 00:38:26,697 --> 00:38:29,457 Speaker 1: from bad to worse, if that's even possible, but apparently 760 00:38:29,497 --> 00:38:34,057 Speaker 1: it is. We've got those stories in Quick Hits. Look, 761 00:38:34,217 --> 00:38:38,977 Speaker 1: we know the Democrats are really devoted to abortion ideologically, 762 00:38:39,337 --> 00:38:41,937 Speaker 1: it's very very important to them, which is probably and 763 00:38:42,537 --> 00:38:45,537 Speaker 1: I would argue, pretty demonic really at its core, but 764 00:38:45,577 --> 00:38:47,497 Speaker 1: this is how they feel, and so they're going to 765 00:38:47,537 --> 00:38:49,657 Speaker 1: do everything they can to try to make this even 766 00:38:49,697 --> 00:38:51,777 Speaker 1: though the Supreme Court has said there is no constitutional right, 767 00:38:51,777 --> 00:38:54,337 Speaker 1: which is obvious as much a federal issue as they 768 00:38:54,337 --> 00:38:57,737 Speaker 1: can get away with. So here, for example, is HHS 769 00:38:57,817 --> 00:39:01,817 Speaker 1: Secretary have your Baserah saying that the administration is considering 770 00:39:01,857 --> 00:39:05,977 Speaker 1: a public health emergency to increase abortion access watch. President 771 00:39:06,057 --> 00:39:09,977 Speaker 1: Biden said Sunday he's considering declaring a public health emergency 772 00:39:10,177 --> 00:39:14,537 Speaker 1: free up federal resources for promoting abortion access. However, at 773 00:39:14,537 --> 00:39:17,177 Speaker 1: the same time, the White House is acknowledging that's not 774 00:39:17,297 --> 00:39:20,737 Speaker 1: a great option. So what is your take on that 775 00:39:20,817 --> 00:39:24,217 Speaker 1: plan and what other strategies is the Biden administration considering 776 00:39:24,417 --> 00:39:28,897 Speaker 1: in response to last months overturning of rov Wade telling you, 777 00:39:29,257 --> 00:39:33,417 Speaker 1: the President instructed us at HHS and me specifically to 778 00:39:33,537 --> 00:39:36,857 Speaker 1: look for everything we could try to do, and that's 779 00:39:36,857 --> 00:39:40,297 Speaker 1: what we're doing. And the public health emergency is one 780 00:39:40,337 --> 00:39:45,617 Speaker 1: of those proposals options that's there. We're taking a look. Yeah, 781 00:39:45,777 --> 00:39:47,537 Speaker 1: remember when they had the High Amendment, Remember when there 782 00:39:47,537 --> 00:39:49,737 Speaker 1: was an understanding that there weren't going to use the 783 00:39:49,737 --> 00:39:52,377 Speaker 1: Democrats agreed they weren't going to use federal tax dollars 784 00:39:52,457 --> 00:39:55,617 Speaker 1: directly for abortion. Well, too bad. They decided to abandon that, 785 00:39:55,657 --> 00:39:59,057 Speaker 1: as we know a while ago. So now it's you 786 00:39:59,057 --> 00:40:00,977 Speaker 1: have to pay for abortion, even if abortion is legal 787 00:40:01,017 --> 00:40:03,537 Speaker 1: in your state. That's what they want. They want to 788 00:40:03,577 --> 00:40:06,937 Speaker 1: use federal dollars for this everywhere they can. It's disgraceful, 789 00:40:07,017 --> 00:40:08,537 Speaker 1: but this gives you a sense as to what we 790 00:40:08,577 --> 00:40:11,377 Speaker 1: were up against. Again, said a White House event celebrating 791 00:40:11,417 --> 00:40:16,137 Speaker 1: gun control legislation, had this to say, watch, we must 792 00:40:16,177 --> 00:40:26,817 Speaker 1: address white supremacy and direct domestic terrorist. They have a 793 00:40:26,937 --> 00:40:29,497 Speaker 1: leading threat to our homeland and our way of life. 794 00:40:31,177 --> 00:40:34,897 Speaker 1: What does that mean? Address white supremacy? Really, well, what 795 00:40:34,937 --> 00:40:37,337 Speaker 1: does that mean? I'm so curious. This is people are 796 00:40:37,337 --> 00:40:40,017 Speaker 1: clapping for this threat to our homeland and our way 797 00:40:40,017 --> 00:40:43,257 Speaker 1: of life. To be called the racist is to be 798 00:40:43,377 --> 00:40:45,857 Speaker 1: called something that is just maybe above being a child 799 00:40:45,897 --> 00:40:49,657 Speaker 1: abuser in our society. And yet we're led to believe 800 00:40:49,777 --> 00:40:53,457 Speaker 1: that white supremacists are a huge danger because they have 801 00:40:53,497 --> 00:40:56,057 Speaker 1: so much power and so much influence and are attacking 802 00:40:56,097 --> 00:40:58,697 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. It's crazy. I've never even met 803 00:40:58,737 --> 00:41:00,377 Speaker 1: a white supremacist. I don't know what these people are 804 00:41:00,417 --> 00:41:03,737 Speaker 1: talking about in the Democrat party. But here we are 805 00:41:05,217 --> 00:41:08,617 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. If this were Republican president, you would be 806 00:41:08,617 --> 00:41:10,457 Speaker 1: seeing new stories about this all day law. But Joe 807 00:41:10,497 --> 00:41:15,137 Speaker 1: Biden's a Democrat, so it somehow is substantially less entranced 808 00:41:15,177 --> 00:41:17,617 Speaker 1: to less interesting to the national news media that the 809 00:41:17,697 --> 00:41:24,697 Speaker 1: president's son is a porno film self porno filming, crack 810 00:41:25,217 --> 00:41:34,097 Speaker 1: using influence, peddling crime, doing lunatic And here's Hunter Biden 811 00:41:34,617 --> 00:41:39,257 Speaker 1: arguing with a prostitute about how much crack cocaine he 812 00:41:39,337 --> 00:42:00,057 Speaker 1: has two zero seven without the bag two. It's stunning, 813 00:42:00,137 --> 00:42:03,297 Speaker 1: isn't it. I mean, guy is such a mess, such 814 00:42:03,337 --> 00:42:07,497 Speaker 1: a disgrace. And there's this Adam Kinzinger. Is he still 815 00:42:07,497 --> 00:42:09,697 Speaker 1: technically a Republican? Like? Does he still keep that charade 816 00:42:09,737 --> 00:42:11,977 Speaker 1: going that what we're told? Is he still going with that? 817 00:42:12,577 --> 00:42:15,497 Speaker 1: I think officially he is, Yeah, funny doing the bidding 818 00:42:15,537 --> 00:42:17,537 Speaker 1: of Democrats. So they throw you some scraps from the 819 00:42:17,537 --> 00:42:20,137 Speaker 1: New York Times table once in a while. Oh, here's 820 00:42:20,217 --> 00:42:23,057 Speaker 1: Kinsinger saying, in ten years, nobody will ever, nobody will 821 00:42:23,057 --> 00:42:25,937 Speaker 1: ever admit to having supported Trump. Watch again, what does 822 00:42:26,017 --> 00:42:28,417 Speaker 1: history say in five or ten years?
