The Second Amendment, like all other rights, 7 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: is not absolute. We need to ban assault weapons in 8 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: high capacity magazines.

So when Sean calls, 32 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: I say, sign me up. Here we are, and as usual, 33 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: you look at what's called the rundown, right, that's like 34 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: the menu the things we're going to talk about. And 35 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be able to get everything today, Like 36 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: Rush used to say, like a whole stack of papers, 37 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: and it gets like one tenth of them. But we 38 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: have to start with the president's address last night where 39 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: he talked about anti gun measures, says the Second Amendment 40 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: is not absolute, says that there is an utmost sense 41 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: of urgency around passing assault weapon bands and raising the 42 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: age to buy a gun from eighteen to twenty one. 43 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: Right away, It's got to be done. There is no 44 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: time to waste. And then right after that speech, he 45 00:02:52,800 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: walked out to Marine one and went to Delaware. And 46 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: it's you know, I remember reading the story in the 47 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: Hill about it and says, you know, the president of 48 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: lay up all these measures before flying out to Rehobeth Beach, 49 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: Delaware for a long weekend. I don't know. I'm old 50 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: enough to remember last weekend, and I am certain that 51 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: was a long weekend because that was Memorial Day. So 52 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: what this president needs two three day weekends? I mean, 53 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: the guy works twenty four to seven. You know, we're 54 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: talking twenty four hours a week, seven months a year. 55 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: That's what we get out of this president. The work ethic. 56 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: You know, what if you get everything wrong? And I 57 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: at least to say, but the guy worked hard, he tried. 58 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: You know, you get a gold star, you get the 59 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: f but you still get the gold star for for 60 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: for effort. Right, I mean, what do you need a 61 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: three day weekend for now? When you consider everything that's 62 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: going on in this country, at least act like you're 63 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: working and stay back at the White House and still 64 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: going to Delaware for the eight million times since you've 65 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: been president, and at least Trump, you know, hey, you 66 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: go down to Morrow Lago, you go out the Jersey 67 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: right to his golf club out there. But the guy 68 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: worked all weekend golf once in a while. Good, you 69 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: gotta blow some steam, but I mean, really a sense 70 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: of urgency around gun control, and then you run out 71 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: that llawire for another three day a week ended. President 72 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: will be eighty this year and a related the story, 73 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: by the way, that will be in November. But again, 74 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: if I were a president, I'd like to think that, 75 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: you know, I had to talk to some younger folks 76 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: in the business, young adults, and one said, what's the 77 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: best piece of advice that you could give me right now? 78 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: And the kid probably was, I don't know, twenty three 79 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: years old, just out of college. I said, never let 80 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: the other guy or gal outwork. You never have that 81 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: regret that, you know what, maybe you're more talented, but 82 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: the other person showed more of an effort. In other words, 83 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: that's in your hands, right. It's it's like when you 84 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: play sports. You know you might miss every shot, but 85 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: you should always always play good defense. That should never 86 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: take a day off because maybe your shots off, but 87 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: you always play good defense. In other words, you give 88 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: the best effort that you possibly can. And we simply 89 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: do not get this out of this president. And when 90 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: you consider that inflation was one point four percent when 91 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: the last guy left office named Trump, right, one point four? 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: What's at now eight point three? I'm not very good 93 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: at math, but I'm pretty sure that's six times higher, 94 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: all right? That would that would say, you know, maybe 95 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: it's not time for a long weekend. When I look 96 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: at gas prices and they are now officially up, naturally 97 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: exactly one hundred percent higher than when this president took office. 98 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: I know this. I'm looking at my receipt right now. 99 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: Got my car stone last year. You probably heard the story, 100 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: but it bears repeating right right out of my driveway, 101 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: You bastards. I'll find you eventually. But still they took 102 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: it right out right, and they totaled it Newark. I 103 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: guess they try to get out of boath they couldn't, 104 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: so they just you know, crashed the thing. So now 105 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: I have the backup car, which was my old old 106 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: car that I was about to get rid of before 107 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: the other one got stolen the other ones at lease 108 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,239 Speaker 1: and in my nice two thousand and six accurate TL 109 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I got five point four gallons of gas according to 110 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: my receipt here. And you know what, you know how 111 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: much that cost? Seventy eight dollars? How is that possible? 112 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I can't get my head around this. 113 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not five point excuse me, it's fifteen point four. 114 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: But you get the point, You get the point. I mean, 115 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: it's it's it's insane what we're paying now at this point, 116 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: as far as you have the one gut faded, I'm like, 117 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: that can't be right. Five point four fifteen point four 118 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: gallons right, filled up the thing seventy eight bucks. So 119 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: if people are paying that amount for gas, I think 120 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: I would have a sense of urgency around that, right, 121 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: And then you see crime murders last year at a 122 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: twenty five year high. Twenty five years. Sixteen cities all 123 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: reported homicide records. You'll never guess what those sixteen cities 124 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: have in common, all right, thinking about it, all right, 125 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: times up, they're all run by Democrats, sixteen cities. So 126 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: we have a country that's more expensive to live in 127 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: we got a country that's less safe to live in, 128 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: right and if you want to drive somewhere, I mean, 129 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: God forbid. Again, what we're paying for gas is insane. 130 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: To get the food that costs more money as well. 131 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: And then obviously everything that's going on at the border, 132 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: which you know we're going to talk to some very 133 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: capable folks about that later in the show. John Solomon 134 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: coming up later this hour, by the way, So just 135 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: keep that in mind that John Solomon is my old boss, 136 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: but now I don't work for him anymore, so I 137 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: can really tell him when I think about him. But 138 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: now John John's a great investigative reporter and I want 139 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: to pick his brain as far as all things Washington 140 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: and the obviously Mark Morgan will be coming up in 141 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: the four o'clock hour he used to run CBP Custom 142 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: Border Protection, and then the great Mike Cuckabee in the 143 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: five o'clock hour. That's Eastern, by the way, so we 144 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: probably should be noting that because a lot of you 145 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: are listening in other parts that aren't in the elite East. 146 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: But let's get back to the president. Right here, he 147 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: is laying out his anti gun measures and saying somehow 148 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment is not absolute. Founding fathers calling on 149 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: wine one, let's go to cup one. Go. The Second Amendment, 150 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: like all other rights, is not absolute. We need to 151 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines. And if we 152 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: can't ban assault weapons, and we should raise the age 153 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: to purchase them from eighteen to twenty one. Strength in 154 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: the background checks an Act, safe storage law, and red 155 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: flag laws. Repeal the immunity to protect gun manufactures and liability. 156 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: Address the mental health crisis, deepening the trauma of gun violence, 157 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: and as a consequence of that violence. Enough enough, all right, 158 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: stopping there. Oh my god. The factor in the majority 159 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: of the Senate Republicans the whisper one. You see again, 160 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: he did it again. It's the Amityville horror voice. Right, 161 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: get out. It's that whispering. It's creepy. Can't somebody, you know, 162 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: because he's got enough handlers and advisors around, say look, 163 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: when you do the whisper thing, he won't lower the 164 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: deficit by one die. When you do that, you just 165 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: sound creepy. There's no other way to put it. It's distracting. 166 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: I don't know who thinks this is a good idea. 167 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: But enough with the whispering, well, anyway to pass all 168 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: these gun control measures that the President is proposing, he 169 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: would need sixty votes in the Senate because there's this 170 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: thing called the filibuster, and you need to get above 171 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: that threshold. Democrats now are declaring that that filibuster, which 172 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: has been around forever, they will abolish, just like day, 173 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: We're going to abolish it for so called voting rights, 174 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: which was a joke, by the way. I mean, that's 175 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: kind of funny, right that we were told that democracy 176 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: was in peril if we didn't pass so called voting rights, 177 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: which really is just we will federalize elections, right what, 178 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: We're going to take it from the states where they've 179 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: always been and we're gonna make it a national thing, 180 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,599 Speaker 1: and obviously not a very good idea. Thank god, we 181 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: have the most powerful Joe Washington, who's not named Biden. 182 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about Piscopa when I'm not talking 183 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: about Peshi, and I'm not talking about Jonas. I am 184 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: talking about Joe Manchin. He stopped that along with kirston 185 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: Cinema and then in Georgia, Loan be All just I 186 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: don't know, two weeks ago during their primaries the voting doubled. 187 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: The voting doubled for that primary. When you compare it 188 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty, it was up one hundred and sixty 189 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: eight percent. When you compare it to twenty eighteen, I 190 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: mean numbers through the roof. So whenever you're hear we 191 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: have to abolish the filibuster the same democracy. Remember that 192 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: little thing with the whole voting rights bill that never passed, 193 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: and we were toward that Georgia was Jim Crow Tudato. 194 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 1: And if you support the Georgia voting law, then you're 195 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: on the side of Bull Connor and Jefferson Davis and 196 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: Boss Hoggan whoever else. Okay, well, it turns out it's 197 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: actually very quite easy to vote in Georgia. In fact, 198 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: it's I think, as an adult, voting is the easiest 199 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: thing you could probably do in this country. You're given 200 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: anywhere from like eleven to seventeen to twenty four days 201 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: to do one thing, cast a ballot or god forbid. 202 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: You'll go on the day of the election. You'll walk 203 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: into a polling place. Maybe you wait three four minutes 204 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: and you're done, and maybe in cities you wait a 205 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: little bit longer. Big deal. All right, have you been 206 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: to a ball You wait online there to pay for shoes. 207 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: You could wait ten minutes to vote. That's all I'm 208 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: saying anyway. So here's what Democrats are now saying. This 209 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: is Representative Jones of New York cut to go. Enough 210 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: of your thoughts and prayers, Enough enough. You will not 211 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: stop us from advancing the Protecting our Kids Act today. 212 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: You will not stop us from passing it in the 213 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: House next week, and you will not stop us there. 214 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: If the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. If 215 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court objects, we will expand it. And we 216 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: will not rest until we have taken weapons of war 217 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: out of circulation and our communities. Each and every day, 218 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: we will do whatever it takes to end gun violence, 219 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: whatever it takes. These people are delusional. I'm sorry. That's 220 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: the only word that's coming to mind right now. Delusional. 221 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: So if the Supreme Court stops you, then you're going 222 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: to expand the Supreme Court. Yeah, that that ain't happening. 223 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: It's not happening. And if you're going to blow up 224 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: the filibuster, well it would have happened already to pass 225 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: build back better voting rights. You don't have to. You 226 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: don't have the boats to do it. So why are 227 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: you screaming about this stuff? I mean, that's the thing. 228 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: What's the old saying? This was crowdhammer. Charles used to 229 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: say that conservatives think liberals are stupid and liberals think 230 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: Republicans are evil, and when they come to that conclusion 231 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: they let emotion completely take over and don't speak logically. Oh, 232 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: speaking about speaking logically, let's play cut three? Shall we 233 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: the view? This ain't the view you grew up with 234 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: twenty years ago of Barbara Walters that had a little 235 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 1: bit of gramatize to it. Now it's gone completely off 236 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: the rails because now they want to eliminate well many 237 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: of you. I'm want to mamagine a probably Republican slash 238 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: conservative out there. They want to eliminate you. Cut three, 239 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: Go get rid of these weapons of war. And it's 240 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: not going to happen with Republicans in power. So I'm 241 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: now with you, joy, get rid of Republicans, getting rid 242 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: of the party. The party at the fan now the 243 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: party of white supremacy. It's the party of insurrectionists, it's 244 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: the party of massacres. At this point, it's the party 245 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: that you just you can't trust any personally. I'm sick. 246 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of people making excuses. Why it's 247 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: one gun, get it off the market. Three words go 248 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: two Hell, I'm talking to Sonny, primarily Sonny Houstin Okay. 249 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: It's the party of white supremacists. It's the party of insurrectionists, 250 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: it's the party of you know what, get rid of Republicans. 251 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: What's your plan for that? Exactly, Sonny. I'm curious because 252 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: I can read polls, and even polls that are skewed 253 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: somewhat to be more favorable to Democrats. You are looking 254 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: at a red tsunami in November, all right, not wave, 255 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: I'm going all the way, Sonami. T s. Think about 256 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: it this way. Barack Obama lost, let's see, sixty three 257 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: seats in twenty ten, and he was palling higher than 258 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: Biden is. Now, what do you think Biden's gonna lose 259 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: in a couple of months, given that the country is 260 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: infinitely in worse shape now than it was twelve years 261 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 1: ago when obamballaw sixty three, you're looking at sixty to 262 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: seventy seas. Some Republicans, amazingly only have to flip five 263 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: so by by Nancy Pelosis, she gets retired the Senate. 264 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: You gotta flip one net one and then you control 265 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: the Senate, get rid of Republicans. New the power is 266 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: only going to grow. And then in twenty twenty four, 267 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: you tell me, you tell me who's running on the 268 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: Democratic side, including the President himself running on this record 269 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: at this point that has any shot against any nominee. 270 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: Joe Kanscha filling in four the Great Shawan Hannity got 271 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: some great guests coming up.

They're not all bad folks on Wall Street. 294 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting that, but they didn't build America. It 295 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: was built by the middle class. In unions built the 296 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: middle class. You know.

Right 313 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: whether it be sub stack, whether it be just creating 314 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: your own publication like punch Bowl News.

I man, it's good to talk to you. 319 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: I miss our daily conversation when we were together. But 320 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: this should be a fun one today. I think so, 321 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: or maybe not so fun because I kind of want 322 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: to go into the Second Amendment and gun control and 323 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know, we've had twenty seven mass shootings 324 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: at schools this year. I mean, clearly this is a crisis, 325 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: But it seems like we got folks talking past each other. Right, 326 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: you have on the left, they as we just talked about, 327 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: they want to talk about gun control, and on the 328 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: right it's about mental illness and fortifying schools. And there 329 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be any middle ground on this as 330 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: there normally isn't so in terms of solutions. When when 331 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: you hear the President talk last night about taking away 332 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: assault weapons and raising the age from eighteen to twenty one, 333 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: most mass shootings in schools are carried out by people 334 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: under twenty one, if you look at the numbers. But 335 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: will this ever be solved or is it just a lather, rinse, 336 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: repeat kind of moment that we're going through where after 337 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: every horrible shooting like we saw down in Texas, both 338 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: sides dig in and nothing really changes. Well, here's an 339 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: amazing fact, and listen, every one of these school shootings 340 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: should not happen. We have the capability to prevent them. 341 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: We have tools, we have solutions, some of them date 342 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: back to two thousand and seven, which, by the way, 343 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: is the largest school mass shooting in American history. The 344 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: brig Text shooting. Yeah, there was a blue ribbon bipartisan 345 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: panel that developed a lot of smart ideas. It's fifteen 346 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: years since they did their work. Most of their recommendations 347 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: still haven't been implemented. What does that tell you People 348 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: don't really want to solve the problem with the bipartisan solutions. 349 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: People divided. They want to keep having a debate over 350 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is pretty clear. The 351 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: government can't infringe, cannot and under any circumstance out infringe 352 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: the right of an American to own a firearm. That's 353 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: been written into the Constitution for two hundred and forty 354 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: six years. But here is the truth of the matter. 355 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: These mass shootings get enormous attention, and they should. Nineteen 356 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: victims are nineteen too many school children should never have 357 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: died in Texas. But so far, in the first five 358 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: months of this year, here's an amazing statistic. There have 359 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: been nine hundred and seventy one shootings in the city 360 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: of Chicago, which by the way, has one of the 361 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: biggest gun controlled laws in American Titus gun control laws 362 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: in all of America. There were fifty people shot, nine 363 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: killed just this weekend in Chicago. Democrats don't want to 364 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: have that conversation. Why because it isn't an assault weapon 365 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: often being user. It's bad guys, not lawful people, getting 366 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: the guns. So they ignore that we have a gun 367 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: scourge in America. I'm sorry, violent scourge in America. That 368 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: isn't just a gun problem. It is mental illness in 369 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: his crime. It is red flag warnings. To get ignored. 370 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: That's not the debate we're having. Joe Biden took his side, 371 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: the Republicans have their side, and there's nobody talking about 372 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: all the evidence of the middle that points to the problem. 373 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: Illegal guns by in the hands of illegal people, now 374 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: legal residents, but illegal people using them are people who 375 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: don't have the right to own them and committing violence, 376 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: telegraphing violence, having mental illness issues. Those are the debates 377 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: we could have that could solve a lot of the 378 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: problem that we're suffering right now. And we're talking to 379 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: John Solomon and making too much sense right now. Certainly, John, 380 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: I have two kids, as you know, and I have 381 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: a boy in kindergarten. I have a girl in second grade, 382 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: so obviously this shooting Vivaldi, I haven't. I'll be totally honest. 383 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: It's very hard for me to watch any of the 384 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: coverage because I'm sorry, I'm right there with your parents, 385 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: like I could imagine getting that call or being down 386 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: there and not seeing the police act when they should have. 387 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: But I keep going back to the same thought that 388 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: even if you somehow ban the so called assault weapons 389 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: right weapons of war, there are still more than four 390 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: hundred million guns owned in this country. Now do you 391 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: want to be the police officer that has to go 392 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: to somebody's house and take that back because those aren't 393 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: going anywhere. And as you said, what's being sold illegally 394 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: on the streets, as evidenced by Chicago, it shows that 395 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: you're right, the bad guys will still get the guns 396 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: no matter what, and then that people have to protect 397 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: themselves are going to be in real trouble. I'm just 398 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: curious that two thousand and seven Blue Riman panel, what 399 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: were some of those recommendations, because mine I wrote a 400 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: column for The Hill about this, and it's it's pretty simple, 401 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: and I'm surprised that this isn't just completely supported from 402 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: a bipartisan perspective. And I think that the way you 403 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: fortify schools, and people have said this before, you have 404 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: one entrance in and out. You stagger the school day, 405 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: so different grades go in at different, say fifteen twenty 406 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: minute intervals, because you can't have you know, five hundred 407 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: kids going through one one entrance at once. So let's 408 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: say in my kids school, for example, my kindergartener his 409 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: day starts at nine thirty am and goes to four. 410 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: But my second grader starts at nine and goes to 411 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: three thirty, and then the fifth grader starts at eight 412 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: thirty and goes to two thirty. That sort of thing. 413 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: This way they go through that one entrance and then 414 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: sitting there at that entrance is a bulletproof glass area 415 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: where a trained officer, whether it's ex military, ex police officer, 416 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: or current police officers in town that could do their 417 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: desk duty from the school because the technology allows you 418 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: can work from anywhere. I think, while that doesn't solve 419 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: every school shooting, right because you can leave a door 420 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: open somewhere else which you have to execute perfectly on 421 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: or you know, it doesn't protect kids in the playground, perhaps, 422 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: but most of these things usually don't happen there. I 423 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: think that cuts down at least on like ninety ninety 424 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: five percent of these sort of shootings because the shooter 425 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: is not going to get past that guard. Plus the 426 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: guard could have a button that locks every room the 427 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: minute he sees someone's suspicious coming towards him. I don't 428 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: know why that isn't something that since we spend trillions 429 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: in our budgets every year, why can't we spend billions 430 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: towards that. It doesn't solve the problem completely before it 431 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: does a lot to help, doesn't it? It sure does. 432 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: And listen, this is the fact that a lot of 433 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: police chiefs and police officers Dot doctor told me the 434 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: second a shooting begins into school, the average police time 435 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 1: before someone can be neutralized as eighteen minutes, meaning if 436 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: you're outside the building, it takes about eighteen minutes. When 437 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: you take all the school shootings together, that's the time 438 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: it takes to actually neutralize someone after the police get unseen. 439 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: Eighteen minutes is an eternity when someone is firing twenty 440 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: or thirty rounds a second out of a fast firing gun. 441 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: This can be solved by many different things, locking of 442 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: the doors, having armed officers there, having maybe teachers at Ohio. 443 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: This week the Ohio Senate passed a law that passed 444 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: the bill that's going seems to be on track to 445 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: become mom that a teacher with twenty four hours of 446 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: intensive training can carry a gun in the school now 447 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: to protect the school. There are all sorts of ideas 448 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: that can wipe out that eighteen minute cap or prevent 449 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: that eighteen minute gap from being there, if the doors 450 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: are locked, if the armed officer can do it. But 451 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: in Evaldi, we had a lot of issues. Right, the 452 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: doors were supposed to lock. Apparently they didn't, at least 453 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: one door didn't. There was a school resource officer, he 454 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: wasn't there on the moment of the shooting, and then 455 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: of course the police had an eternity. It looks like 456 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: seventy seven minutes maybe the total amount of time a lapse. 457 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna learn that even protections that were in place 458 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: failed in uvality. We don't know why yet, but we 459 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: need to find that out. But that's one piece of this. 460 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: The second piece of this is when you look at 461 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 1: most of the shooters that have committed the most heinous 462 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: of crimes, they have the same how many times have 463 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: we read the stories five or six days after this job. Oh, 464 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: we were worried about him. He was showing signs he 465 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: was acting out. He was We don't have a first 466 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: alert system to find a growing number of teenagers who 467 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: are in distressed, young adults in distress who seem to 468 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: be the most likely person to carry this out. Buffalo 469 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: and Uvaldy very similar circumstances, young people acting out, isolated, 470 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: having mental illness, or our emotional issues. Everybody says after that, oh, 471 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: we knew that guy was going to probably be trouble. 472 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: We have to catch those people before they get to 473 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: the action moment. And in the Virginia Tech findings, the 474 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: key findings with both the Justice Department and the Commission 475 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,959 Speaker 1: did knowing It said, this is one of the most 476 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: important lines. Improved awareness in communication are the key to 477 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: prevent your meaning. Awareness and communication about troubled students. It's 478 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: critical to get people with mental illness to services they need. 479 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: It's a direct quote for the report. Those things have 480 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: not been improved upon it at all in fifteen years 481 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: since those recommendations were there. We have the same shortfalls 482 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: and failures with troubled youth to become the shooters or 483 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: trouble young adults will become the shooters as we did. 484 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: Then we've made no progress. Those things could be done tomorrow, 485 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: and they're probably bipartisans support for them. We're talking to 486 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: John Solomon. He is the editor in chief of Just 487 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: the News dot com and host of the Just the 488 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: News Not Noise podcast. John, I wonder you know when 489 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: when you see TV show, excuse me when my same 490 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: pod so I used to saying podcasting everybody has one 491 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: of these days, it's your TV show A sorry about that, boy, 492 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: but you ran a TV network that that only makes sense. 493 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: But look, the President currently says that in order to 494 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: pass a bill in the Senate, you know, a minimum 495 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 1: of ten Republican senators are needed to support the legislation. 496 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: Obviously because of the filibuster, I could see one or 497 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: two or three Republicans being picked off. But the votes 498 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: just aren't there, correct, There aren't. So it's a parent 499 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: statement to come out and do that press conference that's 500 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: not and propose a solution that has no chance of 501 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: being enacted. Right, And that's the same bad debate we've 502 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: been in since nineteen ninety nine. The Democrats take this line, 503 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: the Republicans make the argument mental health, armed resources, and 504 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 1: no progress is made, whether Republicans or Democrats are in control. 505 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,239 Speaker 1: That's what frustrates the American people. I don't know how 506 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: any political leader in Washington can look at any parent 507 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: who is a survivor and lost the child in Valdi 508 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: and say, we haven't been able to do anything for 509 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: you for twenty straight years or twenty three straight years. 510 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: At some point, there has to be a break in 511 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: this cycle or we're just going to live with varying 512 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: a lot of caskets of young children every year unnecessarily. Now, horrible, 513 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: John Salomon, We only have a couple more minutes, but 514 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: I do want to get your thoughts on the upcoming 515 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: midterms because I just look at this. I try to 516 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: look at and you know, me as objectively as possible, 517 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: and I know that one hundred and fifty some odd 518 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: days as an eternity to an election, a lot of 519 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: things can change. But two big things happened in the 520 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: last month. One was that Roe v. Wade decision being 521 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: leaked out, and everybody says, well, that's going to be 522 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: a game changer. Democrats will run on that, And I 523 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: just kept looking at the number, saying no, no, no, 524 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: Gallup shows that this country is split exactly down the 525 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: middle of terms of pro life and pro choice, so 526 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't really favor one party or the other. And 527 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: then I see obviously what happened in Uvaldi with the 528 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: school shooting, and again, you know, people are so divided 529 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: on this that I think those two wishes are basically 530 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: a wash. And it doesn't so call favor a party. 531 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: And I hate to talk in those terms, but in 532 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: the end, this is just going to come down to 533 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: what it did for Carter in nineteen eighty, right, or 534 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: it did for George hw Bush in nineteen ninety two. 535 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: I could go down the list. It comes down to inflation, inflation, inflation, correct, Absolutely, 536 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: this is a pocketbook issue. If you can't afford to 537 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: fill up your gas tank, or you have to make 538 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: a choice between buying food for your children or putting 539 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: gas in the tank, you're going to be voting your 540 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: pocketbook if you look out and you can't find baby formula. Meanwhile, 541 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: the illegal migrants children at the border in the CPB 542 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: propositories have stackfols of the formula available to them. You 543 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: are likely to vote your pocketbook and vote your conscience. 544 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: This is an economic election, barring some unforeseen circumstance. And 545 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: I think one of the most difficult things for Democrats 546 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: is every day Joe Biden addresses the economy, he makes 547 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: it worse when you say, as he did yesterday, I 548 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: had no idea that closing down the largest baby factory 549 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: formula factory in the world would create a shortage. People 550 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: are going, what the heck? I mean, come on now, 551 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: or Hey, it's really not that bad. This is a 552 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: new economy, rebuilding. Don't worry about that six dollar gas 553 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: price to play that doesn't work. Joe Biden is making 554 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: the whole larger for Democrats, and that's why you're seeing 555 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: so many people retiring in the Democratic Party. And you 556 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,880 Speaker 1: know they're not only retiring at the congressional level. The 557 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: number of state legislators on the Democratic side pulling the 558 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: plug and saying I'm not running again is a real 559 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: sign that they see an economic election wave tsunami. Oh, John, 560 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: they didn't say what the heck there's another word that 561 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: was probably assertive there. I feel it's very close enough. 562 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: In fact, you're right, so John, it's plug time. So 563 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: just thenews dot com. What can people get there that 564 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: they can't get from some publications that they're used to 565 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: going to, as far as the news and particularly at 566 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: All Things Washington. Yeah, listen, I think it's two things. 567 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: That my brand of journalism has always been investigative, accountability journalism. 568 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: We have a great story this morning about the Capitol Police. 569 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: Ig has found that the police wrongly took a picture 570 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: of a congressman's legislative thing, got in his office, took 571 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: a picture. It should have done that Fourth Amendment issue. 572 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: We do things like that all time. But here's the 573 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: thing I'm most proud of. In an era where people 574 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: are prone to not trust the news media much anymore, 575 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: we created a section called digg in every aspect of 576 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: our reporter's notebook is alongside the story. So if you've 577 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: read the stories, I don't believe that well, the documents, 578 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: the video, the audio, the research links we did. We 579 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: put that in the dig tool. And that's our promise, 580 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: which is we're gonna let you make up your own mind. 581 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna write the story the way we think it 582 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: should be written, but you can look at our raw 583 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: materials and you don't have to take our word for it. 584 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: You can go in and that dig in tool has 585 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 1: become iconic our promise to our readers, and we now 586 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: have eight million meters a month. We're very excited about that. 587 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: It's been a really fun journey to build this and 588 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: try to do something to restore some transparency and credibility 589 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: to an industry that, you know, because you've crownled goods 590 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: so well, is in a lot of distress. The public 591 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: doesn't trust the news media anymore. Transparency this is a 592 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: foreign concept. Wow, good good job. John Solomon, his Twitter handle, 593 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: by the way, is at Jay Solomon Reports, and he said, 594 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: double take. You have eight hundred and sixty seven thousand followers. 595 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: My god, you're crushed me. Man.
