This is Buck. 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be solo today at the mic. Clay is 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: taking a family day. He'll be back in tomorrow and 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: then I'll be out on Friday. I'm taking a range 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: day on Friday, so Clay will be solo. Then we 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about the after action analysis 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: of just what happened here in the Warnock versus herschel 10 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: Walker Senate race in Georgia. Well, we know that Warnock one, 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: so we'll start with that and we'll get into why 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: we think that happened. You also have Elon Musk in 13 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours quoting Shakespeare and also well 14 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: quoting Shakespeare in reference to firing his deputy Chief Council 15 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: from Twitter, who just happened to be the former Chief 16 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: Council of the FBI, who just happened to be deeply 17 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: intricately involved in the Russia collusion hoax. Elon continues to 18 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: drain the Twitter swamp and we learn more and more 19 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: about what's going on there. We also have coming up 20 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour here, So just in 21 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: about twenty minutes, Speaker of the House incoming McCarthy. We'll 22 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: talk to us about a big announcement with regard to 23 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates, and there's some other things I want to 24 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: ask Speaker McCarthy about when he joins. And then doctor 25 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: Marty McCarry will be with us on a new study 26 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: out of Princeton University on masking. Who wants to guess? 27 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: Is masking a super effective way to stop yourself from 28 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: getting COVID or RSV or even the flu? Is it 29 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: even moderately effective when you think about how you have 30 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: to continue doing it forever? You know those answers, But 31 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: we will get into the science on that. I actually 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: wanted to start today with something else. We will get 33 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: into Warnock v. Walker here. And now Democrats have fifty 34 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: one Senate seats in this new Senate. It is bad. 35 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: It's bad news. I can't lie to you, right, I'm 36 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: never gonna lie to you. It's bad news. It's not 37 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: a good situation. But beyond that, what are the lessons learned? 38 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: I put up a pole about who do you blame? 39 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: I was just curious trying to trying to take the 40 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: pulse of the base, because people who tend to be 41 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: listening to this show, people who follow me or Clay 42 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: on Twitter, a lot of them are the Republican base. 43 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: So what do they think about why we lost the 44 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: Senate seat? And Georgia will talk about that coming up 45 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: and in a moment. But I wanted to follow up 46 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: on something I spoke to you about yesterday. I had 47 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: told you that in the aftermath of this Supreme Court 48 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: oral arguments on Tuesday about three h three LLC, a 49 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: woman who wanted to say, look, I just don't want 50 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: to use my creative services I don't want to use 51 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: my creative services for a same sex marriage. Is that legal? 52 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: Should it be legal? She brought the suit. Actually this 53 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: wasn't like she was sued by activists and it was 54 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: heard by the Supreme Court. Now, part of this, I think, 55 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: is just understanding where all of this is going. And 56 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: you can get a sense of it from the left 57 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: wing justices So to my Or and Jackson Justices Jackson 58 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: and so to my Or, respectively. But when you dive 59 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: into where this is all going, what you see is 60 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: there will be no carve out for religious freedom in 61 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 1: in the version of America that the left wants, your 62 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: religion will comply with the dictates of the left wing 63 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: social agenda on all matters. It'll start with same sex marriage, 64 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: but it will go beyond that, the trans agenda, all 65 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: of it, right, the transgender The left will not be 66 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: happy until there are drag Queen story hours happening in 67 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: Christian churches on pain of lawsuit. That's the truth. Meaning, 68 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: if you're not willing to do it, If if you're 69 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: a Catholic church or a Protestant church, you're not willing 70 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: to have it, you're you're going to get sued. And 71 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: I know that may sound right now. Oh, they always 72 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: tell you that's not going to happen, that's radical. Well, 73 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: let's think about the that's not going to happen approach 74 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: for a moment here. Five years ago, probably ten years ago. Certainly, 75 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: if you had said, oh, but they won't actually allow 76 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: logical males to compete against women in college athletics, you 77 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: know they're they're going to do that. Right. No, No, 78 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: they say we won't do that. That'll never happen, that 79 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: will never be the case. And now sure enough we 80 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: know where we are you won't allow right ten years ago, Hey, 81 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: you're not going to allow biological males to be in 82 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: female prisons? Right, that's not Oh no, we would know, 83 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: we would never do that. Sure enough, here we are. 84 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: Slopes are slippery. People always say that the slippery slope 85 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: is a fallacy. They don't have much of an understanding 86 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: of history or momentum or reality. Slopes are in fact 87 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: a trajectory. They are slippery. They do go in a 88 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: certain direction. And what we saw in the aftermath I 89 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: think of the oral argent Supreme Court is what the 90 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: real game plan is here. There's currently a little, a 91 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: tiny area of carve out within the law on specifically 92 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: in the aftermath of Obergha fell on say sex marriage 93 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: and where religious faith is protected, that that will not 94 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: stand if the left, if the Democrat Party gets its way, 95 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: and if you want to get a census to what 96 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: the future looks like. I bring you this story of 97 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: what just happened to a Christian group in Richmond, Virginia 98 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: at the hands of the Metzker bar and butchery. I've 99 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: been to Richmond the past. Actually a great town. I 100 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: think Richmond's a very underrated city, really beautiful, really charming 101 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: actually has a lot of great food. Side note, Metzker 102 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: Bar and Butchery canceled the reservation a big group reservation 103 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: of the Family Foundation, which is a conservative Christian group. 104 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: It was canceled ninety minutes before they were scheduled to 105 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: sit down and eat. Now, this is a Top Chef star. 106 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: Brittany Anderson co owns this restaurant. I haven't seen Top 107 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: Chef a while. I watched the first season of it 108 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: many many years ago. But what we know is that 109 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: it was canceled. That was canceled at the last minute. 110 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: And what they've said, and this is always this is 111 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: always how it goes, right, is when they found out 112 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: that it was a conservative group, they here you go. 113 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: Here's the official statement. Metzker Bar and Butchery has always 114 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: prided itself on being an inclusive environment for people to 115 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: dine in. In eight years of service, we have very 116 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: rarely refused service to anyone who wished to dine with us. Recently, 117 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: we refuse service to a group that had booked an 118 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: event with us after the owners of Metzger found out 119 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: it was a group of donors to a political organization 120 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: that seeks to deprive women and LGP, LGBTQ plus persons 121 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: of their basic human rights in Virginia. We have always 122 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: refused service to anyone for making our staff uncomfortable or unsafe, 123 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: and this was the driving force behind our decision. Notice 124 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: how they always claim victimhood status. This is a very 125 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: aggressive thing to do. And why did they do it. 126 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: Why did this restaurant met Skerbar and Butchery pull this 127 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: reservation at the last minute and obviously meant to humiliate 128 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: this group and as well as inconvenience them. It's because 129 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: they don't like them. They can say it's because, oh, 130 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: it makes me uncomfortable, tries to create a victimhood status. 131 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: It's they don't like this group because of what this 132 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: group now believes. I would note that the inclusion of 133 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: depriving women of rights. So now, unless you are a 134 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: pro abortion zealot, you can be denied, you can be 135 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: denied the right to eat in a restaurant, and under 136 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: our current law this is all just fine. You see 137 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: where this is going. There's a one way war in 138 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: so much of this, a battle, if you will, in 139 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: the battlefield of ideas, where the discrimination against conservetives, notably 140 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: in Christians, but people of religious faith is able to 141 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: happen in a way that is never going to have 142 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: the same kinds of consequences, is never gonna have the 143 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: same kind of consequences as the protected groups. And as 144 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: you've noticed, the protected groups are expanding and expanding all 145 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: the time to include now not immute, to include way 146 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: beyond immutable characteristics, to characteristics of sexuality, lifestyle, intersectionality, all 147 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: of these things. So there can be discrimination against you 148 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,479 Speaker 1: based upon your opinion on these matters. So public accommodation 149 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: law now doesn't seem to do anything if you're a 150 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: Christian group that wants to go to obviously a public 151 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: accommodation or restaurant. This is really going to the basis 152 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: of the earliest days of public accommodation. You can be 153 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: distributed against because they say you're a big it. But 154 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: that's okay. Meanwhile, the left keeps adding and adding all 155 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: of these different groups to the protected roster in law 156 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: to create a special category of law. Nor you must 157 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: bend the nero else. I just talked to you about 158 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: this yesterday. I said, they're they're not going to stop 159 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: until your church. And now maybe it doesn't go this far. 160 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: Maybe we're able to actually defend religious liberty in this country. 161 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: But the goal here is to eventually make all religious 162 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: institutions effectively organs of the state, and I mean the 163 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: uniparty state, the democrat left authoritarian state that will make 164 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: all the determinations about social policy, family policy, everything. That's 165 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: the ultimate goal. I think it's pretty obvious at this point. 166 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: I think we see this with some degree of clarity 167 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: based on what's happening and how slippery the slope has 168 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: been in just the last ten years. But just understand 169 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: this now, I have to say, so, I'm in the 170 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: same position, right, You're in the same position, just as 171 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: a conservative. You could think that you're oh, you're making 172 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: a you're making a big reservation at a wedding hall. 173 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: Let's say, you know, for your daughter's wedding. Oh, but 174 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: you're you're a Christian conservative who's who doesn't support abortion. 175 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: You don't support abortion. Sorry, we're going to pull your 176 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: reservation at the last minute. Notice how wokeness has and 177 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: the left wing mindset has no outer limits to what 178 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: they're willing to do in the kinds of ways that 179 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: they want to cut you off from banking services, they 180 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: want to de Internet, you kick you off for social 181 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: media platforms. They want to humiliate you and prevent you 182 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: from using public accommodations. And and there's no protection for 183 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: our side somehow, meaning just conservatives, meaning people of faith. 184 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: Now I understand there's some of those protections are in 185 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: place right now, but they don't have the same t 186 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,119 Speaker 1: You're not going to get the same kinds of legal outcomes, 187 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: and they're being eroded all the time. And if we 188 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: don't understand what the other side is trying to accomplish 189 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: what the left seeks to do here, we're never going 190 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: to be able to meet them and defeat them on 191 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: the political battlefield, because how can you have the right 192 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: strategy when you don't even know what the other side 193 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: strategy is. Their strategy here is to make it so 194 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: that your your faith, your tradition, anything you say about well, 195 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: this is what's in the Bible, or this is what 196 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: my faith tradition is. If it conflicts with the left 197 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: wing social agenda, too bad. The state will shut you down, 198 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: The state will take your money, the state will condemn 199 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: your building, and maybe even you know, lock you up. 200 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they want, and I do think 201 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: everybody should at least understand that that is the goal. 202 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: That is what these activists want. They are This is 203 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: not a live and let live approach. It is just 204 00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: the incrementalism of the eradication of religious freedom and individual freedom, 205 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: freedom of conscience. You don't even to be religious. I 206 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: think there's a very strong case we made, for example, 207 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: that opposition to abortion is just rooted in basic morality. 208 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: I don't kill babies. Now. A lot of religious people 209 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: obviously agree with that. But you don't have to be 210 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: a religious person to understand why abortion is wrong and evil. 211 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: But if you're opposed to abortion, now you're allowed to 212 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: be kicked out of a restaurant. Oh okay, So these 213 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: are the rules of the game. Do we think that's 214 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: going to be a healthy society going forward? Do we 215 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: think that that's going to result in the kind of 216 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: basic unity and agreement and buy in that we need 217 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: for this country to function the way that it should. 218 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: I don't think so, my friends, I don't think so. 219 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back in here in a few minutes. 220 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: We have soon to be speaker.

I was really curious, I want to know. 251 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: And this is about as non or unscientific a pole 252 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: as you run. Right. It's just people that follow me 253 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: on Twitter, which is a very small percentage of the 254 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: millions of you listening to this show across the country. 255 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: But it was got fifty thousand votes, so I had 256 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: some sense to think of where people are on this, 257 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: and I asked the following question, because look, we just 258 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: lost a Senate seat in Georgia. It's stings, it's stinks. 259 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: It shouldn't have happened. All right, This this is the 260 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: this is the honesty section, right, this is the truth battalion. 261 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: Right here. We're just going to call it like it is, 262 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: day in and day out. And it's not a good 263 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a rough one to take that in 264 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: a state where basically every Republican one. Basically, you gotta 265 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: remember this. It was so people are saying, oh, it's 266 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: the elections, it's the mail, and it's not in Georgia, 267 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: not this time, because Kemp won by eight points. Everybody, look, 268 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: look at the other candidates in Georgia. Republicans one that 269 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: basically ran the table, lost a Senate seat. This is 270 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: the third Senate seat we've lost in Georgia. What is 271 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: going on here? Third Senate seat in two years. We've 272 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: lost the Democrats, all winnable, all winnable contests. So I 273 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: just asked, I'm curious who is most hit fault for 274 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: Walker losing a clearly winnable Senate seat in a state 275 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: that the GOP otherwise dominated. And I put the following 276 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: categorizations and left it open for anyone to add anything 277 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: else they wanted. But I said number one Herschel Walker 278 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: the candidate, obvious, Number two, Mitch McConnell, leader of the 279 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans, Donald Trump, number three, other number four. A 280 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: lot of people said, by the way, I should have 281 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: added and I look, there's only four categories you can 282 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: have on Twitter, so yeah, you know, I could have 283 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: added Rona McDaniel that was a common a common one. 284 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: People put the money spend, people said all of the above. 285 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: What was interesting to me, though, is that fifty six 286 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 1: percent of the respondents in this poll said Mitch McConnell. 287 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: Fifty six percent said it's Mitch McConnell's fault that herschel 288 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: Walker lost in Georgia. So please let me know. I 289 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: want to get a sense if you are in that group, 290 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: I want to know why what now? Few people you'll 291 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: find are more critical. I mean, I was going after 292 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell for the Kelly Shabaka debacle and for not 293 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: backing Blake Masters. What is it in Georgia that makes 294 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: it Mitch McConnell's fault, because we got to figure out 295 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: how we win in Georgia or else we're not going 296 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: to win.

Some 335 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: of our very best have been kicked out. The army 336 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: is down five thousand soldiers short because they can't meet 337 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: their target for recruiting. They keep this mandate in there. 338 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: We won the election. I know Republicans lost in a 339 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: lot of places, but in the House we won the majority. 340 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: I went down and I saw the President another week. 341 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: The NBA, the National Defense Authoration Act is up for renewal, 342 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: and you know what happened. I told the President we 343 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: wouldn't pass it unless we lifted this mandate. I know 344 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: the Secretary Defense got mad at me. We had long 345 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: discussions about this, but we just put the bill forth 346 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: and we're going to be able to lift the mandate 347 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: off this, so no longer will the men and women 348 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: be forced to take this vaccine. Well, it's certainly good 349 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: news and a step Congreson McCarthy in the right direction. 350 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: Of a couple of questions about it. At first, off, 351 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: I do have to ask the Secretary of Defense really 352 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: thinks that the mandate for the vaccine that no one 353 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: even argued stops the spread or is even useful beyond 354 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: a perhaps sixty day window at best it for really 355 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: almost anyone. He still thinks it's a good idea. Is 356 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: he unable to read the studies, the data? Why would 357 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: he think that? I don't know. You know, we have 358 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: a number of doctors who serve in Congress. They send 359 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: them a letter more than a month ago about lifting this, 360 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: giving all the statistics and actually showing that remember about 361 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: the age of where this COVID affects, and remember if 362 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: somebody has had it the immune system. They're actually stronger 363 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: in the process. They propose, why don't you have a 364 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: blood test on everywhere? Than you see that none of 365 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: these people have a problem. And you know what we're happening, 366 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: especially for a number of those members for Congress. We're 367 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: getting some of the best and brightest who want to 368 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: go to the academies and then they're being denied. They're 369 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: being denied because they won't be able to Vactually, we're 370 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: seeing people that we have the pointed that's gone through 371 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: and done all the work to graduate and now trying 372 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: to be denied. We're stopping all that. We're lifting it. 373 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: Secretary Defense, I called him about a month ago and 374 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: told him we need to lift this. He argued with me. 375 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: Once I got the President on board, he called me 376 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: again trying to tell me no, he wanted to keep this, 377 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: and I said, look, we make policy here. I guess 378 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: you need to talk to the President about having him 379 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: veto the NBA then, because this is going to be 380 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: in it. And look, this is just a small thing. 381 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: We're able to get why the Democrats are still in 382 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: the majority, But this is what's coming in January. Third, 383 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: We're going to be able to work on so much more. 384 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: We're going to be able to bring accountability. I would 385 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: just left Jim Jordan now a little think about him 386 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: as Chairman of Judiciary or Jamie coomer an oversight. This 387 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: is an opportunity for one for us to finally secure 388 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: our border, get an economy that's strong, but actually have 389 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: a military that can do their job and stop the wokeism. 390 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: Ken I can I ask you, Conres McCarthy, is there 391 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: anything that you're planning to at least try to do. 392 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: I know that don't have the Senate and don't have 393 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: the presidency, but the people who have already been separated 394 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: from the military of that vaccine mandate, I believe, and 395 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: we've been saying on the show, Client, I agree vociferously 396 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: those individuals should be hired back, given back pay and 397 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: no loss of you know, they they should get the 398 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: rank that they would have had had they stayed in currently. 399 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: This is exactly the discussion I had with the President 400 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 1: as well, because the Secretary of Defense kind of fought me. 401 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: I don't have the language I want completely, but this 402 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: is the uniqueness when this portion. Now we start already 403 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: in January to make sure all that happens. I've got 404 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: a lot of assurance about much of that happening. They 405 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: put a little study language in. It is not what 406 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: I wanted. But this is one of the very first 407 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: things we're working on because these people have been denied 408 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: and think of what they were able to do to 409 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: defend our nation, the work that they did, the effort 410 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: that they put in, and some of them on a 411 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: religious basis was kicked out. That is wrong. So we 412 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: want to reinstate all those that want to go back, 413 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: and they should be able to go to the rank 414 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: that they had the right reason to go to. We're 415 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: speaking to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Congressman you know, 416 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: there's a lot of disappointment, and you're speaking to an 417 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: audience across the country that really feels that you did 418 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: point out that we did win the House, fortunately not 419 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: by what we had hoped or should have in my opinion, 420 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: but we did win control the House, which is a 421 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: step in the right direction. But as we're going into 422 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: what is already now going to be a clear presidential 423 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: election cycle with a lot of and also congressional with 424 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: a lot of interesting dynamics at play, there is a 425 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: dissatisfaction that comes up a lot. Well, what about the 426 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: people in charge and what about accountability? Names that get 427 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: talked about Arona McDaniel at the RNC. I know there's 428 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: an ongoing now contestacy who will lead the RNC. Mitch 429 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: McConnell in the Senate, and you, as House Majority Leader, 430 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 1: you are the likeliest still to be Speaker of the 431 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: House in the next Congress. Why are you the right guy? 432 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: What do you say to people who have concerns that 433 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: you haven't fought enough for that, even if it's just 434 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: a there needs to be accountability for underperformance for the 435 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: GOP writ large. What do you say to those people? 436 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: You know, that's the debate we all should have. So 437 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: I said, look at everybody based upon their merit. I've 438 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: been leader for four years. In those four years, we've 439 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: had two election cycles, and those two election cycles, they 440 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: haven't been good for Republicans. They've lost seats in the Senate, 441 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: they've lost seats and governors, they've lost the presidency. But 442 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: do you know in those two cycles since I've been leader, 443 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: we've only won seats when everybody else lost. We won 444 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: last time, we won this time. Do I want to 445 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: win more. Yeah. Did we have higher Republican vote than 446 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: Democrat did? Yeah, almost to the same measurement when you 447 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: take those hundred and seven million people voted to the 448 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: same in what it was in twenty ten. But we've 449 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: had redistricting, it's more competitive. Did we win five seats 450 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: one places that the Democrats Biden actually won by more 451 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: than ten points. We beat the d triple sea chair 452 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: that hasn't happened in forty two years. Both Michaels we 453 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: won in California, picked up more seats we won in Oregon. 454 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: And look from one perspective, if I didn't fight enough, 455 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,919 Speaker 1: think from this one moment, what did you just find 456 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: for the vaccine lift that we've been trying to do 457 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: for more than two years. We just had that happen. 458 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think people should should be held accountable. 459 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: I think people should be charged on their merit. If 460 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: you think someone's better that from winning the majority, laying 461 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: out the agenda and the commitment to America, working with 462 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: everybody on the floor, didn't support that person. But I 463 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: believe you have primaries, then you have generals. So I 464 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: went before the entire conference after the election, one more 465 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: than eighty five percent of the conference vote. The one 466 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: thing we cannot have happened here is we are the 467 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: only line of defense. We are the only ones that 468 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: have a majority. And the one thing I will tell everybody, 469 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: they do not hand gavels out in small, medium, and large. 470 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 1: They just hand one gavel. We have the same majority 471 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: today that Nancy Pelosi has in the last Congress. And 472 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: can I ask you what are you going We're speaking 473 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: to House Majority Leader McCarthy right now, everybody, what are 474 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: you going to do with that majority? What is top 475 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: of the agenda? I just wanted to give you the 476 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: floor to make the case to everybody. On the very 477 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: first day, we're going to repeal the eighty seven thousand 478 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 1: hrs agents. We're going to go in and we're going 479 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: to secure the border. How are we going to do that? 480 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: I've already invited the President to go join, but we're 481 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: going to move hearings down to the border to make 482 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: sure we secure it. The next thing you're going to 483 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: find is do We're going to make America energy independent? 484 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: But not just energy independent where we grow our economy, 485 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: lower our gas price. We want to make other countries 486 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: dependent upon us. We're going to bring the supply chain back. 487 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: I'm going to announce tomorrow the creation of the Select 488 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: Committee on China. We're going to bring the supply chain 489 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: back from China to America. You're going to see that 490 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 1: parents have a say in their kids education no longer. 491 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: We're going to watch what's happening that's been going on. 492 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: We're going to pass the Parents' Bill of Rights, and 493 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: most importantly, you're going to find a government that's held accountable. 494 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: We can't send one one subpoena out until we get 495 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: this done. But if you watched the other day, I 496 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: laid out very clearly, if you want to secure the border, 497 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: we got to start with the Secretary of Homeland. If 498 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: my orchist is not resigned to find January third, we're 499 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 1: going to start hearings and investigate what has gone on. 500 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: There is no way he can look Americans in the 501 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,959 Speaker 1: eye and tell us that secure. He is lying to us, 502 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: and we will start that process on the very first day.

We are going to work to 540 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: hold these manufacturers accountable for this mRNA because they said 541 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: there was no side effects, and we know that there 542 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: have been a lot. And so we did a study 543 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: in Florida and you saw an eighty six percent increase 544 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: in cardiac related activity from people eighteen to thirty nine 545 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: from m RNA shots. And so we're gonna be doing 546 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: some stuff to bring accountability there. But there are other 547 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: people around the country that got forced to take this 548 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: and then what they're not allowed to sue or get 549 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: any type of recourse when this is not something that 550 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: they wanted to do. So this is something that we're 551 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: gonna lead on. In Florida's Governor Ron Desantist, they're saying 552 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: he's not letting the vaccine makers just get away with 553 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: the whole thing. It will be tough, I think legally 554 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: for them to be held to account because part of 555 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: this think of what a crazy, a crazy situation. We 556 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: were all put in a vaccine that was developed in 557 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: it with new technology that had never been used before 558 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 1: in record time, and the government said you have to 559 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: take it in a variety of context, certainly if you 560 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: work for the federal government. And then they tried to 561 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: have the universal mandate. As we all recall, the Supreme 562 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: Court had to step in and say, sorry, you can't 563 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: use OSHA. This is the Biden the Biden administrations, and 564 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: we're going to use OSHA to make everybody get the shot. 565 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: That didn't work. Supreme Court stepped in, but the vaccine 566 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: makers were also exempted from any liability, so we had 567 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: to take the shot. The shot had never been given before, 568 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: used before with this technology, and there was no liability 569 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: whatsoever from it. And if you any questions about this, 570 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: you were a bad person. That's pretty crazy when you 571 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: add it all together, it's pretty wild, to be honest 572 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: with you, and there has to be some accountability. There 573 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: has to be some way of fighting on this one. 574 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: Gary in Hyde Park, New York, I wonder if that 575 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: was a good movie. Didn't they make one about FDR 576 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: and how he used to hang out in Hyde Park? Gary, 577 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 1: thanks for calling in, yes, sir on the issue of 578 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: whose fault it was for so many losses, mister McConnell 579 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: and miss McDaniel. Mister McConnell has as much to lose 580 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: if mega candidates predominate as most Democrats. And McDaniel, I 581 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: think she's starting to evoke a lot of the opinions 582 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: of her uncle. Full disclosure, I'm a recovery Republican. I 583 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: left the Republican Party during the McCain run. I'm an 584 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: independent and the reason is I don't think MCA ran 585 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: a very effective campaign and since that time, I think 586 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: we've been stuck in mediocrity in terms of campaigning. We 587 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: got to come out of the gate the way Donald 588 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: Trump came out of the gate. We got to have 589 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: the gloves off, and we got to hit hard, and 590 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: we gotta hit first. I gotta say, first off, interesting 591 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: to hear you talk about the RNC chair fight. I 592 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: haven't mentioned that. Thanks for calling in Gary, you have 593 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: harm Meat, Dylan has thrown her hat in the ring, 594 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: and Rona McDaniel wants to continue to be RNC chair. 595 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it. I mean, there's a lot 596 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: I've got friends on both sides of these battles, meeting 597 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: people that are very pro harm Meat, people that are 598 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,239 Speaker 1: very well I guess I know some people who are 599 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: very pro I'm trying to think, you know, yeah, there's 600 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 1: some people who are very pro Rona. But but there's 601 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: a lot. There's a food fight going off on the party. 602 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: I's gonna remind everybody this is part of the process. 603 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: You know, you want to be the one in the job, 604 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 1: you want to be in the big chair. I think 605 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: it's a good thing for there to be. This is 606 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: why we have primaries, this is why we have votes 607 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: for people to be whether it's Speaker of the House 608 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: or R and C chair. And I appreciate what Kevin 609 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: McCarthy said, He's like, look, if people want to make 610 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: the case they knew a better job, let him make it. 611 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: Let's see, let's see where the votes fall. Okay, right, 612 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: he's not saying, oh, it's owed to me. Now, I 613 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: wonder how it's gonna shake out with the RNC. And 614 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: as to our previous caller, they're talking about campaigning and 615 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: how well it's been done by Republicans. I mean, just 616 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 1: even last night after the very disappointing herschel Walker loss 617 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: in a state that Republicans won every other race. Okay, 618 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,240 Speaker 1: so let's remind ourselves this is not oh they cheated 619 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: or oh they you know, No, we should have won 620 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: this Senate seat. We didn't win this Senate seat. So 621 00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm frustrated. You're frustrated. Why didn't it happen? I saw 622 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: a former Speaker new Gangrich on TV on Shawn's show, 623 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: and what was he talking about? Mail in ballots? Not 624 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: as in, Oh, they use mail in ballots. That's cheating, 625 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: as in the Republican Party has to do this or 626 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,919 Speaker 1: we will keep losing in these key states. Yeah, sure 627 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: we'll win in Texas, but Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona. We're 628 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: not going to win unless we adapt to the game. So, 629 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you can listen. I've been saying it since 630 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: the very first hours after the midterm election, new Gangrich 631 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,839 Speaker 1: is saying it. I mean, people that people that know 632 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: this game and really want it to be GOP victory 633 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: going forward are saying this, and I think that that 634 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: should be an indicator of what is likely to work 635 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,239 Speaker 1: best here. But yeah, look, it's gonna be there's gonna 636 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 1: be some leadership fights, and that's good. There's gonna be 637 00:35:54,680 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: some messy primary stuff and well maybe they'll be messy 638 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: primary stuff. We don't know that for sure, but it's possible. 639 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,879 Speaker 1: I think it's likely there will be some folks who 640 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 1: decide to get into a primary here on the right, 641 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: and good, let people fight it out. Let him make 642 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: the case. No coronations for r NC chair, no coronations 643 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: for any of these things. So that's all to the good, 644 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: and we become stronger, better, sharper in the process. Right. 645 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: We're capitalists. We believe in competition. We believe in victory 646 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: of good ideas, good policies, all the rest of it, 647 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: and the benefits that come from that. So I'm a 648 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: big believer. Competition competition Twitter. Twitter has one less Deep 649 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:48,240 Speaker 1: state clown at the very top. Elon tweeted out about 650 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: this what a tangled web we weave. I guess he 651 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: was deceiving somebody. We'll talk about it.
