Texas is now on the front line 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: of oh gosh, so much the culture War and an 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: enormous legal battle that is looming here, one that has 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: historic ramifications for the country. And we're not even talking 20 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 1: about COVID this time. We will talk more about COVID 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: this hour, though, including the move variant MU variant. I 22 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,559 Speaker 1: think I think it's called the move but mu variant. 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: It was just what you thought. Delta was what you 24 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: had to worry about. Now they're talking about the move variant. 25 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: We'll discuss this. Oh and since we're talking about science. 26 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: There was a big storm. So what happens after there's 27 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: a big storm. Well, there was one of New York City. Obviously, 28 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: there was also a Hurricane Ida that hit Louisiana. The 29 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: tail of it came up to New York. They'll cause 30 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: historic flooding in the Tri state area of New York, 31 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: New Jersey, Connecticut. And whenever something like that happens, we 32 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: get lectures about how the world is going to end 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: because of climate change. So put the commies in the 34 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: Democrat Party, you know, the green zealots in charge of 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: everything in your life, and I mean everything, what you 36 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: can eat, where you and go, everything right, I mean, 37 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: the list doesn't end. Put down that burger and have 38 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: a soy patty made from renewable fibers from some kind 39 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: of a plant strewn together to kind of resemble Oh gosh, 40 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: that stuff. Never whatever they say, Oh, it's just like 41 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: whatever you have to say. It's just like just like 42 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: a burger. No, it is not right. The soy fake 43 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: burger things that they put out there do not taste 44 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: like burgers. One thing I do have some expertise in 45 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: is burgers, apparently. So let's get into Texas here, because 46 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats have been pushing in the last couple of days, 47 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: and I got to give credit to the Texas legislature 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: and the Governor Abbott for signing this. This is a 49 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: very very clever way to start to get the ball 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: rolling toward well state restriction of abortion, which is the 51 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: central moral fight. Look, if you're not pro life, I 52 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: don't think you're a conserved I don't think it's possible 53 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: your pro life or you're not really a concern because 54 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: if you're not willing to conserve innocent life in the womb, 55 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: what what are you conserving? So this is central. This 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: is about the moral character of the nation, and this 57 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: is about setting where you can never set it right, 58 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: but at least sending us in the right direction after 59 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: the evil turn of Roe v. Wade over the last 60 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: fifty years. So Texas has this law now that we 61 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: discuss with you a little bit earlier in the week, 62 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: just a quick review of it. Don't mess with Texas 63 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: they have deputized individuals to bring a effectively bring suit 64 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: against abortion providers, not the women who get abortions. They 65 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: are not touched by this law. Abortion providers can be 66 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: sued for up to ten thousand dollars. And because this 67 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: does not involve the state directly, there's some standing issues 68 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: and it's more difficult for the usual abortion lobby machinery 69 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: to kick into effect and create this continued regime of 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: absolutism on the issue of abortion, which is a terrible 71 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: moral state in the country and something that needs to 72 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: be addressed as soon as possible. Democrats view it as 73 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: a sacrament, and they view it as something that is 74 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: central to not just their party, but to their moral 75 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: and philosophical identity. You really cannot be a Democrat today 76 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: and be in good standing with the Democrat Party and 77 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: the left unless you are pro abortion. There is no way. 78 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: I mean, they might make some exceptions in a purple 79 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: state here or there for somebody, but they would assume 80 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: that when push comes to sholve, that person would vote 81 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: in line with Pelosi and the rest. And I just 82 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: want to say this too, there's a lot of hypocrisy 83 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: and a lot of just false kness around Joe Biden. 84 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: That's not a surprise. His whole presidency is built upon 85 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: really him as him as a fraud, presenting as one 86 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: thing while he pushes for another as a public official. 87 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: But among the most annoying and the most dishonest things 88 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: that both he and Nancy Pelosi like to do is 89 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: hide behind this rhetorical shield of in the case of 90 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi, have a very devote, a devout, a devoted Catholic, 91 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: and I totally so Catholic. So just that means I'm like, Holy, 92 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm like the Pope but with more channel scarves. And 93 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden will do the same thing. And herm a Catholic, right, love, 94 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: love of church. I just pushed policies and direct contravention 95 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: over central Church teaching. But I'm all about it. Right. 96 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: They're both Catholics, and they will use that as a 97 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: means of political currency and also a political shield. But 98 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: they are ardently pro abortion, right, both of them, And 99 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: I think it's disgusting and I think that they should 100 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: be denied community. I know a lot of your listening 101 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: or I'm a Catholic, a lot of this thing or 102 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: not Catholics, and so This is a little bit of 103 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: an inside the Catholic Church issue, but they should be 104 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: denied communion and they're not. I don't know why not, 105 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: but that's something off to take up with the bishops. 106 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: But they're ready to wage a real fight against this. 107 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: And first off, you know Pelosi, Oh my gosh, she's 108 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: the ultimate lib from California, limousine liberal Pelosi. She's going 109 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: to do everything she can. She's already saying they're putting 110 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: a row v. Wade codification on the floor of the 111 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: House as soon as possible. Play five well in Supreme 112 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: Court making the decision that it did not only disrespected women, 113 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: it disrespected the Supreme Court in its former decision. It's 114 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: president that he established as Rovy Wade. When we go 115 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: back to Washington, we will be putting Rowdy Wade codification 116 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: on the floor of the House to make sure that 117 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: women everywhere have access to the reproductive health that they knew. 118 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: Think about the words that are used here, access to 119 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: the reproductive abortion access, Nancy say it, if it's no 120 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: big deal, if you're fine with it, why not just 121 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: speak the words. Why all the euphemisms, why all the 122 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: tricks of language? If they're going to celebrate as they 123 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: do abortion in this country. Why not just come out 124 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: and do it. Why always play the game? We know why, 125 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,559 Speaker 1: we know the answers, because this relies on people turning 126 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: a blind eye to it. And I've said this before. 127 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: It's it's a frustration that on this issue sometimes even 128 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: among people on the ride, even conservative media, this is 129 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: this is known. I'll tell you this, it's known to 130 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: get people. Oh, it's too ENTI I don't want to 131 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the ratings. Let's talk about the 132 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Durham report instead, you know, let's take out our watches 133 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: and look at when the Durham Report's going to happen, 134 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: you know. Okay, still waiting on that one. It's just 135 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: known that there are other ways. I'm just gonna tell 136 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: you the other ways to get ratings. But I think 137 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: this is too important. I just believe this is too central, 138 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: not just to our identity as conservatives, but to our 139 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: soul as a nation. And I don't believe that's overstated 140 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: even a little bit. And yet on the other side, 141 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: there is a ferocity that they will come after this 142 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: issue with I mean, they will do everything they can. 143 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: Remember the way that they were willing to just destroy 144 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh based on lies and think they were virtuous 145 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: in the process. Right, whether it was Christine blasi Ford 146 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: or the second accuser came out, or the third one, 147 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: you know, Sweatnick, who was just clearly bonkers, it didn't matter. 148 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: They thought that lying about an innocent man was the 149 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: honorable thing to do in the Democrats' minds, because they 150 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: don't have honor and they want to protect Row at 151 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: all costs. And now with Kavanaugh on the court, they 152 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: are worried about Row. They are worried about this because remember, 153 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: it's not just what the future would mean, which would 154 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: just be states determining, like they determine many things, whether 155 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: this is a procedure that is a medical procedure, or 156 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: whether it is terminating human life without cause, whether it 157 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: is killing the onboard. State by state, we would have 158 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: laws on this issue. And you know, New York could 159 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: do what it wants to do, but Texas and other 160 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: states could do what they want to do as well. 161 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: But no, you see the same in the same mentality 162 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: where it's not enough for just one person to double 163 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: masks and have to live with all the faucis, and 164 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: they want everyone else too as well. They want to 165 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: make us all complicit in that insanity. The left wants 166 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: us all to be complicit in the regime of infanticide. 167 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: They want to make everyone a part of it, just 168 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: by paying your taxes to the state you live in, 169 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: just by living in the United States of America, and 170 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: with all the funding that goes to planned parenthood. By 171 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: the way, then they make us all complicit. They never 172 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: want to go back and look at what they've done 173 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: over the last fifty years and what science shows us. 174 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: By the way, I want to talk about science increasing. 175 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it was always clear, but it now is 176 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: blaringly obvious that there is a human life involved here 177 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: that is not the woman carrying it. And yet this 178 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: is and this is an issue the Democrats will throw 179 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: everything they have at and they will say things that 180 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: are just I mean, here's Nicole Wallace who used to 181 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,439 Speaker 1: be a Republican. I'm just gonna put that out there. 182 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: But whoever pays her the most, you know, whoever you 183 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: see so many of these former Bush Republicans who will 184 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: go out there now and whatever whatever gets them on 185 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: TV and gets the biggest baycheck. They'll say, what are 186 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: their principles. It'll be fascinating to have a conversation with them. 187 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: I don't want to name them all because I don't 188 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: want to give them the pub of being talked about 189 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: on this show. Although I know I'm about to play 190 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: a clip of one of them, but I mean, here's 191 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: the kind of language those Here's Nicole Wallace. I mean, 192 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: I'll let her say it for herself. Play seven again. 193 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: In this moment, male governors in Florida and Arizona and 194 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: Texas don't want the body to be covered by four 195 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: inch piece of cloth against mask mandates. I'm gonna reach 196 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: deep into the uterus of a woman and tell all 197 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: of them to carry eighty five percent of abortions take 198 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: place after the sixth week mark that the Texas thought. Then, yeah, 199 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: I mean you heard what she said. This is on 200 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: cable news, right, yeah, reach deep. I'm not even gonna 201 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: repeat it, but this is the kind of language they'll use. 202 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: These people are sick. There's something wrong with them. There's 203 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: a problem here. Friends. We have to fight on this one. 204 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: I know it probably you know we're gonna have this. 205 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: The nastiness you will see from the left is going 206 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: to be something that a lot of people will shirk 207 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: from this shirt, from this debate, from this challenge. I 208 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: think it's too important. I think it's too essential. So 209 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: and it's it's sometimes, you know, sometimes something's about more 210 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: than rating. Sometimes it's about more than clicks. And on 211 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: the right to life, this is one of those issues. 212 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: You're either in this fight. You're either a conservative who 213 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: believes in this or I don't know, maybe you're like 214 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: a libertarian or something else. But I don't see. I 215 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: don't see how there can be anything but clarity on 216 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: this for all of us, and the left certainly sees 217 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: it as such. They are going to go scorched earth 218 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: up to and including fundamental change. They will be pushing 219 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: for fundamental change in our system of government itself. There's 220 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: the institutions they pretend to care so much about. They're 221 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: willing to dramatically transform, undermine, even abolish them. We will 222 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: address that. How will they try to change our government? 223 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: Will address that. And then also the move I gotta 224 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: find out if it's just called the m it must 225 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: be the move variant, right, the move variant will discuss 226 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: and remember third hour, we've got somebody who was at 227 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: the heart of digital Dunkirk joining us to talk about 228 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: how they were getting people out, how veterans rallied together 229 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: on their own to save thousands and thousands of people 230 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: from the Taliman's a fascinating story.

At least I don't 260 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: know if they'll be able to get all this stuff through. 261 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: But once again we're at the point where they're saying, 262 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: you know what, the foundations of our different government institutions, 263 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: the things that we all thought we agreed on, or 264 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: at least that they pretend to agree on when they're 265 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: not in power. Right, when the Democrats don't have power, 266 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: it's hold on, there are norms, let's slow it down. 267 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: When Democrats are in power, it's shut up and do 268 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: what we say, peasant or else. That's their approach. That's 269 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: how they view their role in America, in American society, 270 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: and power is the single most important thing for the 271 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. First they must achieve it and wield it, 272 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: and then they'll figure out the effects of this and 273 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: st like that later. They don't really care, but they've 274 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: got to be in power. They're addicted to it like 275 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: all commies are. Of course, jen Saki has been already 276 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: has been asked already in light of the Texas abortion restriction, 277 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: which God bless Texas, Jensaki is reminding everybody that there 278 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: is this Biden Commission on all of that's right, court 279 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: packing play nine. The President's view on the expansion of 280 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: courts has not changed. He also wants this group, this commission, 281 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: to take a close look at a range of issues, 282 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: not just court expansion, which is an important question for 283 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: them eximp to examine, but term limits and a range 284 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: of questions that are the Commission is looking at. I 285 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: will also note, though, Jeff, that in the President's statement 286 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: today he also made very clear and in pretty strong 287 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: terms his viewpoints on the ruling of the Supreme Court 288 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: in this case court packing back on the menu. At 289 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: least they're gonna pretend that they'll do it. I don't 290 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: Will they go through with it? Could they go through 291 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: with it? Well, they would have to eliminate the filibuster, right, 292 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: they want to eliminate the filibuster as well. They've talked 293 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: about it for HR one, which is the change all 294 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: election laws at the federal level for every state so 295 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats never lose another election and there's plenty of 296 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: rampant cheating and will never find it because it's all 297 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: mail in ballots with no checks and balances and no 298 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: id and right, that's what that's what HR one is. 299 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: It's the make it easy for Democrats to cheat and 300 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: win Act. They thought about maybe pushing hard to get 301 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: to get rid of the filibuster on that one, didn't 302 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: have it. Could they get rid of the filibuster in 303 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: the Senate over the possible turn overturning of Roe v. Wade, 304 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: Well maybe probably not, but maybe AOC has already said 305 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: that this is clearly of course she's in the House, right, 306 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: so she said whatever she wants as a matter, but 307 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: clearly the filibuster should be eliminated over the threat to Row. 308 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you this right now, because much 309 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: of the conservative media doesn't really spend time on this issue. 310 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: This upsets and enrages and makes Democrats crazier than I 311 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: think any other issue. You know, they're they're very willing 312 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: to embrace absurd thinking and you know, critical race theory 313 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: and and there's a race obsession among Democrats that will 314 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: make them illogical and very very nasty to people who say, 315 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: hold on, maybe we shouldn't be teaching CRT to our kids. 316 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: That's all there. But when abortion is threatened, Democrats they'll 317 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: they'll pull out all the stuff. They'll do anything, they'll 318 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: do anything that they can in order to keep it 319 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: as it is. So where does Joe Mansion stand on 320 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: that issue? But also on the spending issue, Well, turns 321 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: out he's not down for the three point five brillion 322 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: dollar plan. We'll talk about this in a minute. What 323 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: does it mean for the Democrat socialist agenda? Remember, if 324 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: you've got a call for me, eight hundred two eight 325 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 1: two to a eight two. But you'd be surprised what's 326 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: taught in class in many junior and senior high schools 327 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: nationwide these days. I'll give you a hint it's not 328 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: the full history of our nation. Teaching history and Civics 329 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: is up for grabs.

I think what you've got 342 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: as a problem with policy right now, where Bill, we 343 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: are paying people to continue to pay people to stay unemployed, 344 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: not just through unemployment benefits, expanded foodstamps, rental assists since 345 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: three hundred dollars a week perchild, a month per child benefits, 346 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: all of this free cash to people, encouraging them not 347 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: to work, and then we're taxing people who do work. 348 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: I believe we would have five million more Americans working today, 349 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: Austin if we had cut the payroll tax last year 350 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: rather than expanded unemployment benefits. You want to give people 351 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: and incent him to go back to Wave, we're giving 352 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: people incentive to say on the sidelines. Steve Moore dropping 353 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: some truth bombs there, as he is often fond of 354 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: doing on economic issues. Welcome back to Clay Travison, Buck Sexton. 355 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: Sure this is Buck, and we are heading for a 356 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: number of big political fights. Well that's probably true at 357 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: any point time. But I've been talking about the Supreme 358 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: Court battle looming over row and abortion. But let's get 359 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: into something that's more imminent for a moment here, and 360 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: that is what happens with the entirety of the Biden agenda. 361 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: And it's pretty much the whole thing is riding on 362 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: this three point five trillion dollar Democrat spending wish list 363 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: of all sorts. Oh, there's Green New Deal stuff, and 364 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: there's massive social program spending, and there's this is the 365 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: Biden stealth socialism plan. That's what the three point five 366 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: trillion is now. I mean he's not writing it. He 367 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 1: doesn't really even know what's in it. He just knows 368 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: that that's what I'm supposed to shine, all right, So 369 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: that's what he's gonna do. Hey, man, I'm here, I'm 370 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm amn trap Joe, I'm awake. I thought I was knappin, 371 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: didn't you. But the truth is he's going to sign 372 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: whatever they put in front of him. So it doesn't 373 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: really matter what's in it as far as Joe Biden's concerned. 374 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: As long as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are smiling, 375 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: he knows that. You know, they're going to give him 376 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: a cookie, and that's that. But Biden was going all 377 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: in this morning on the three point five trillion dollars 378 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: spending plan. And they have to get this thing done 379 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: by September fifteenth because that's the deadline for committees to 380 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: finish the drafting of the legislation. So then and then 381 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to have to go and push all 382 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: out to get this thing through. On their side, Remember, 383 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: we got a fifty fifty centate, so I mean they 384 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: have a day facto majority. Thanks to Kamala. By the way, 385 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: where's Kamala? Anybody? Anybody is seeing Kamala these days? I 386 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: haven't really heard much about our vice president. I haven't 387 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: really heard much about her what I thought she was 388 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: in charge of the board. Oh, the border last month 389 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,239 Speaker 1: was over two hundred thousand illegal crossings and it's as 390 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: bad as it's ever been, so maybe we won't hear 391 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: about Kamala. Interesting, Kamala's numbers when it comes to approval 392 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: and likability are worse than Joe's and are the worst 393 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: that they've they've been in a very long time, So 394 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: I guess that's really not all that surprising. But anyway, 395 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: because of Kamala, fifty fifty means the Democrats can still 396 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: get it through with the tie breaking vote of the 397 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: Vice President. But even the Democrat majority in the House, 398 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: it's only two twenty to two twelve eight seats in 399 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: the House Representatives, so if they just lose four, they 400 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 1: don't get this thing through. So it's this is going 401 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: to be on a razor thin margin. And when you 402 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: look at the three point five trillion that they want 403 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: to spend, they're acting as though they have a mandate. 404 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: They're acting as though we didn't just have a very 405 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: close and very contested, to put it mildly, presidential election outcome. 406 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: They're acting like we don't have essentially a fifty we 407 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: do have fifty fifty in the Senate and close to 408 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: it in the House, and that the American people are 409 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: crying out for some kind of a transformation through spending 410 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: fiat using the parliamentary trick essentially of budget reconciliation. They 411 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: didn't just get some big mandate. They didn't just have 412 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: everyone say, oh, the Trump economy was horrible. Now they've 413 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: got sixty Senate seats and they've got you know, a 414 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: thirty seat majority in the House or something. No, that's 415 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: not what happened at all. In fact, it was pretty 416 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: for a pandemic year. It was a week showing for 417 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: Democrats in the House and in the Senate, a week 418 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: showing indeed, we should have won one of those two 419 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: Senate seats in Georgia, my fellow Republicans. But that's a conversation. 420 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: That's a couple of week. We can have some whiskeys 421 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: and cry about that another day. That was pretty pretty depressing, 422 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: but there is hope on this. I'd like to send 423 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,239 Speaker 1: you off into your weekend with hope. And this was 424 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: just published in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. Why I 425 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: won't support spending another three point five trillion amid inflation, 426 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: debt and the inevitability of future crises. Congress needs to 427 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: take a strategic pause by yes, that's right, good old 428 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion, Joe Mansions, like you know what, I don't 429 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: know if I want to go along with this full 430 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: on socialism thing. First of all, I'm still kind of 431 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: surprised Mansion hasn't switched parties. But remember he also was 432 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: a critical vote in favor of confirming Kavanaugh. But I 433 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: know that internally, the polls in West Virginia showed huge 434 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: support for Kavanaugh because the people realize that now Supreme 435 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: Court Justice Kavanaugh was just getting ambushed with lies. They 436 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: didn't know that in some of the Blue states, of course, 437 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: because it wasn't about the reality. But anyway, Mansion has 438 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: held the line against the true lunacy of his party 439 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: on occasion. And here's what he says, I now writes, 440 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: and of course the staff. I'm not putting that everyone's 441 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: staff in the Senate is actually writing their editorials, and 442 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: this is it's just like they write their speeches. But anyway, 443 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: here's what's in his the article under his name in 444 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. I, for one, won't support a 445 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: three point five trillion dollar bill or anywhere near that 446 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: level of additional spending without greater clarity about why Congress 447 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: chooses to ignore the serious effects inflation and debt have 448 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: on existing government programs. This is even more important now 449 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: as the Social Security and Medicare Trustees have sounded the 450 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: alarm that these life saving programs will be insolvent and 451 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: benefits could start to be reduced as soon as twenty 452 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: twenty six for Medicare and twenty thirty three, a year 453 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: earlier than previously projected for Social Security. Establishing an artificial 454 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: three point five trillion dollars spending number and then reverse 455 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: engineering the partisan social priorities that should be funded isn't 456 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: how you make good policy. Undoubtedly some will argue that 457 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: bold social policy must be taken now, action must be 458 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: taken now. While I share the belief we should help 459 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: those you need at most, we must also be honest 460 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: about the present economic reality. Well, Senator Mansion, I can 461 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: tell you that is where you and the Democrats have 462 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: a serious disagreement. They don't want to be honest about 463 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: the present economic reality. The Democrats recognize that when it 464 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: comes to spending in the size of government, math is 465 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: the enemy. Math is not on their side. Remember when 466 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: we were told just a few months ago that inflation 467 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: would be transient, temporary. It turns out it's gonna keep 468 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: going up because math. Because we've spent a whole lot 469 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: of money in excess of what we've already spent. And 470 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: some people are starting to recognize that this is a problem, 471 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: especially for those who don't have a lot of assets 472 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: and rely on wages. So while Joe Biden can run 473 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: around talking about at a middle clash and jobs clash, 474 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: jobs middle clash, here am I've got the blonde hairs 475 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,239 Speaker 1: on the legs, and they've touched the hair that had 476 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: been bleached by the sun when I was at the 477 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: at the community pool. Some of you will remember that 478 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: that's actually pretty much a direct quote of Joe Biden's 479 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: one of his weirdest speeches. Legs on my hair would 480 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: stand up bub It was so weird, you know, But 481 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: he's you know, he sniffs people's heads and grabs him 482 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: does all kinds of weird things and Democrats no problem 483 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: with that. What's one for Anyway, Those who dismiss my 484 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: unwillingness to support a three point five trillion dollar bills 485 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: political posturing, I hope they heed the powerful words of 486 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 487 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: who called the debt the biggest threat to national security. 488 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: That's also from this this op ed in the Wall 489 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: Street Journal by West Virginia Senator Joe Mansion. Look, friends, 490 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: they are gonna try to do everything they can to 491 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: get this through because everything else that the Biden administration 492 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: touches is in a state of freefall or has already collapsed. 493 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: It's a mess. They're not making things better for you, 494 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: They're making things worse, and people see it. The economy 495 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: is weak, inflation is rising, gas prices are high. The 496 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: border is a disaster. Our Afghan withdrawal was a catastrophe 497 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: in the way that it was executed. Crime in major 498 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: US Citi's way up an all time high for for 499 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: overdose debts last year in this country and continuing to 500 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: be very high this year. And the Biden administration is 501 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: not doing anything about the border that's feeding this problem. 502 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: In fact, they've kicked it wide open. And what do 503 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: they say they were gonna do? He said he was 504 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: gonna shut down the virus, not the economy. How's that 505 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: going for us? Well, I take a look at the 506 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: latest reporting on the move variant as well as the 507 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: delta variant. You can see Nope, they have not figured 508 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: that out either. So what exactly have we gotten here? 509 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: A constant went. Biden promised the American people normalcy when 510 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: he ran in twenty twenty. That was the big pitch. 511 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: He's gonna hide in the basement and promise things will 512 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: go back to normal, and his version of normal, as 513 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: we all see, it is dysfunction that forces the American 514 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: people who are honest, to lower their expectations constantly about 515 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: their day to day lives and about the future of America. 516 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,959 Speaker 1: That's what normalcy means for Biden. Lower your expectations, folks, 517 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: It's gonna get worse. I think we should fight against that. 518 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: I don't think we should concede that that is the 519 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: future under a Biden. Well, it is the future under 520 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: Bide administration, but it doesn't have to be the future, 521 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: which is why we have to take power from them 522 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: in the midterm. Election and then shut down the socialist madness. Here. 523 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: We'll get to some of your calls in a moment, 524 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: because it is open line Friday, eight hundred two two 525 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: eight eight two.

Welcome 564 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: to Clay and Buck Show. Thank you. How ridiculous bock 565 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: to me, maybe to some other listeners, that we are 566 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: letting undebted Afghans, possible terrorists on all of our military basis, 567 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: of all places to house people, to house them at 568 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: our United States military basis where in Utah, I heard 569 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: that they can go in and out as they please. 570 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: And the main thing is these are not lonely. A 571 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: handful of them are really the ones that helped us 572 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: that we're helping us as interpreters and helping us. They're 573 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: far few in between, and they're all just whatever being 574 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: let in all over the place in our military basis. 575 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you have one suicide bomber in there, or 576 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: you have a handful of Taliban and they'll take over 577 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: the military basis. It's just another one of the absurd, 578 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: ridiculous things of this Biden administration. Hey, Jeah, thanks, thanks 579 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: for calling it from New Jersey. It's your question about 580 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: the Afghan refugees. There's a lot that still needs to 581 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: be unpacked and looked at with all this, because we 582 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: weren't really told what was going on here. That much 583 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: is clear. The Biden administration was not honest about First 584 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: of all, how many people who are these people? You know, 585 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: we kept hearing about and I know the former former 586 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: military and Curtin military who listening to this know that, 587 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, they're interpreters and their interpreters families. There's a 588 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: sacred bond that they have with those guys and their families, 589 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: and they wanted to get them out. But the SIV 590 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: or SIEVE Special Immigrant Visa category also included people who 591 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: were doing clerical work for aid companies and people who 592 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 1: were working for government contractors that were building schools and 593 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: things like that in Afghanistan as well. What level of 594 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: vetting did they go through? Right, it's one thing to 595 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: be someone's an interpreter. They're on military base, they're sleeping 596 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: and even fighting alongside ar men and women in our 597 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: Marines and and and and an army. And it's another 598 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: thing we're talking about somebody who maybe was involved in 599 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: a construction project that was through a major US A 600 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: government contractor. So there's a lot that we still don't 601 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: know about this. And as for the vetting processes, yeah, 602 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean I would would you. I wouldn't trust that 603 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has this all squared away. Look at 604 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: how the whole evacuation has gone, look at what's happened here. 605 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: So I think Jan, you're racing very uh, you know, 606 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: important questions about how well we are actually making sure 607 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: to vet everybody who is coming in. And let's get 608 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:06,959 Speaker 1: to Brianna in Utah. Hey, Brianna, Hi, thanks for taking 609 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: my call. I just wanted to make a quick point 610 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 1: about booster shots, and that is they knew all along 611 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: that we would be required to have boosters. Otherwise, why 612 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: did they put two extra slots at the bottom of 613 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: the vaccination card for others and then they also told 614 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: people not to laminate them. M well, maybe the lamon 615 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they have some you know, some reason. 616 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: And Brianna, I'm not saying that your theory is incorrect, 617 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: but I'm sure they have some explanation for Maybe the 618 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: lamination makes it harder to scan them when they get 619 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: Are all the readers going for us or something? But look, 620 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: there were going to be boosters. I think it was 621 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: very clear early on that they were going to need 622 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: to be boosters, and they kind of hid that from 623 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: people so that more people would get the shot, thinking 624 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: they'd be done and once you've gotten it, then it's well, 625 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: I guess I'll just get it again, and then a 626 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: system is in place for everyone to be getting those shots. 627 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: So we're where it's now got three is now going 628 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 1: to be the standard. I don't know what that means 629 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: if you got the J and J and you only 630 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: got one shot, Brianna, thank you for calling in um, 631 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: but that is that's what we're heading for now. It's 632 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: gonna you have to get all three or else you 633 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: won't even be considered. So it wasn't enough to get 634 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 1: those two. Those of you that had a let's say 635 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: a bad you know when I say a bad reaction, 636 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 1: I don't mean anything to put you in the hospital. 637 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: But you know, I have friends, I have family members 638 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: that say that they got the second shot from the 639 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: Fizer and that made them really feel flu like, you know, 640 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: chills and felt like there was a lot of letharg 641 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, overall crappiness feelings that lasted for 642 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 1: a couple of days. So that's that's something that we're 643 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: all we're all facing as well. Nick in Ohio, we 644 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: got about a minute, Nick, but I wanted to get 645 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: you in. Yeah, as a marine We're always told that, 646 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,720 Speaker 1: you know, our equipment, our gear is our life, and 647 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: to leave behind arbitrarily, it's not in our DNA somebody 648 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: to tell them to leave it behind. And I'm really 649 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: wondering if we witnessed the largest hostage payout in history. Well, Nick, 650 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm already speaking to people who 651 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,360 Speaker 1: are involved in trying to get people out of Afghanistan, 652 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: and they're they're saying, they're saying that now they're worried 653 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: it is going to turn into basically paying off, paying 654 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: off people right, paying off the Taliban to get them out. 655 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,879 Speaker 1: And as for the gear being left behind, thank you, Nick, 656 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: and thank you for your service. I think that's just 657 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: they horrible planning and it was run for the exits 658 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: with this Biden administration and that's what ended up. So yeah, 659 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,759 Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, in principle, we shouldn't be leaving 660 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: behind gear, but we did because the Biden team got 661 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 1: completely caught, I mean, unaware is barely beginning to cover it. 662 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 1: Zach van Meter was involved in getting people out of Afghanistan. 663 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,720 Speaker 1: He's going to join us in just a few minutes 664 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: to talk about it. You're listening to Clay Travis, and 665 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the EIB Network.
