WEBVTT - Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 06-30-22 0:00:11.657 --> 0:00:14.937 You're listening to the buck Sexton Chow podcast, make sure 0:00:14.937 --> 0:00:17.577 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app 0:00:17.817 --> 0:00:22.577 or wherever you get your podcasts. A twenty year old 0:00:22.577 --> 0:00:24.577 woman was fatally shot in New York City while she 0:00:24.657 --> 0:00:28.017 pushed her infant daughter in a stroller. Its latest shooting 0:00:28.097 --> 0:00:30.577 is again throwing a spotlight on the rise and murders 0:00:30.577 --> 0:00:33.457 in the Big Apple, which many suspect is going to 0:00:33.537 --> 0:00:37.857 experience a summer of increased violence. Who city and state 0:00:37.937 --> 0:00:40.377 leaders are blaming the issue on guns rather than their 0:00:40.377 --> 0:00:43.337 own failure to enforce the laws, and they're undermining of 0:00:43.377 --> 0:00:52.977 the NYPD. Friends, It's time for hold the line. Welcome 0:00:52.977 --> 0:00:55.097 to hold the line on buck Sexton. It happened to 0:00:55.097 --> 0:00:56.977 the neighborhood that I grew up in here in New 0:00:57.057 --> 0:01:00.737 York City, the Upper East Side, a place not generally 0:01:00.737 --> 0:01:03.337 thought of as having much, if any violent crime going on. 0:01:03.497 --> 0:01:06.937 It's one of the safest areas, safest neighborhoods in all 0:01:06.977 --> 0:01:09.617 of New York City, and yet there was an execution 0:01:09.657 --> 0:01:12.337 style killing their last night. A young woman twenty years 0:01:12.377 --> 0:01:15.297 old shot in the back of the head. It is 0:01:15.377 --> 0:01:20.857 believed that her killer was an ex boyfriend. The NYPD 0:01:21.937 --> 0:01:25.177 telling reporters today that he had a history of threats 0:01:25.177 --> 0:01:28.017 and violence against her. She was supposed to meet with 0:01:28.057 --> 0:01:30.377 the father of her child on the street and he 0:01:30.657 --> 0:01:34.617 came up behind her allegedly and killed her on the street. 0:01:35.697 --> 0:01:38.497 This is the kind of crime that gets a lot 0:01:38.537 --> 0:01:41.497 of attention because of the heinousness of it, and it 0:01:41.617 --> 0:01:45.737 also is another fatal shooting on the streets of New 0:01:45.817 --> 0:01:48.697 York at a time when the numbers are far too high. 0:01:48.737 --> 0:01:54.337 Now we have gone through before this situation where there 0:01:54.417 --> 0:01:56.337 was far too much violence in the streets of New York, 0:01:56.657 --> 0:02:01.137 as well as many other cities across the country, Houston, Philadelphia, Atlantis, Chicago, 0:02:01.217 --> 0:02:07.057 Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, they've all seen substantial rises 0:02:07.857 --> 0:02:11.817 and smaller cities like Saint Louis and burming Hammon Little 0:02:11.897 --> 0:02:17.337 Rock rises in violent crime. And the way we deal 0:02:17.377 --> 0:02:22.697 with this successfully is to actually start enforcing the laws 0:02:22.897 --> 0:02:27.497 in a meaningful way against the criminal element, against those 0:02:27.537 --> 0:02:31.137 in our society who are breaking the law. But that's 0:02:31.137 --> 0:02:34.617 not the plan that Democrats want to go with. Instead, 0:02:35.017 --> 0:02:39.217 their focus is on getting rid of and stopping the guns, 0:02:39.697 --> 0:02:42.497 as if there's any real hope, as if there's any 0:02:42.537 --> 0:02:47.337 realistic chance that they're going to pass more laws when 0:02:47.337 --> 0:02:49.417 you already have in place like New York very restrictive 0:02:49.417 --> 0:02:52.017 gun laws, but pass more laws elsewhere that stop people 0:02:52.337 --> 0:02:56.217 who are criminals from breaking those laws to use guns 0:02:56.297 --> 0:03:00.457 illegally in shootings like the tragic one that happened just 0:03:00.657 --> 0:03:02.857 last night in New York. Here is the Mayor of 0:03:02.857 --> 0:03:05.297 New York City, Eric Adams, at the scene of that 0:03:05.617 --> 0:03:09.137 shooting of the twenty year old mother. This entire day, 0:03:09.497 --> 0:03:13.337 we have been addressing the problem of the over proliferation 0:03:13.377 --> 0:03:17.337 of guns on our street, how readily accessible they are, 0:03:18.217 --> 0:03:23.497 and how there is just no fear in using these 0:03:23.537 --> 0:03:29.537 guns on innocent New Yorkers. When a mother's pushing a 0:03:29.577 --> 0:03:32.417 baby carriage down the block, or an individual a woman 0:03:32.537 --> 0:03:35.257 is pushing a baby carriage down the block and his 0:03:35.377 --> 0:03:41.497 shouting point blank range, it shows just how of this 0:03:41.817 --> 0:03:48.097 national problem is impact in families. So he's focused on 0:03:48.137 --> 0:03:52.457 the guns instead of progressive prosecutors who will not bring 0:03:52.937 --> 0:03:58.457 the necessary cases with the severity that is commensurate with 0:03:58.497 --> 0:04:00.697 the offenses, won't do that in New York City, won't 0:04:00.697 --> 0:04:04.257 do that in so many places across the country, and 0:04:04.377 --> 0:04:07.577 instead focuses on guns because this is more politically acceptable 0:04:07.577 --> 0:04:09.977 to him, as if New York, which has what they 0:04:10.137 --> 0:04:13.537 call a river of steel or the steel pipeline that 0:04:13.617 --> 0:04:17.457 comes from a number of other states that have more 0:04:18.217 --> 0:04:22.297 accessible firearms laws. People illegally sell those farms. It's called 0:04:22.297 --> 0:04:25.897 a straw purchase, the violation of federal law. People legally 0:04:25.937 --> 0:04:29.377 sell those guns to individuals and then they take them 0:04:29.417 --> 0:04:32.897 across state lines and they use them in heinous crimes. 0:04:33.417 --> 0:04:36.217 This is something that I had not seen before in 0:04:36.257 --> 0:04:38.257 New York, but it might be something that becomes more 0:04:38.297 --> 0:04:40.857 common in New York City. A gunman on a scooter 0:04:41.657 --> 0:04:45.577 in broad daylight, on a little scooter there, tried a 0:04:46.177 --> 0:04:50.977 drive by scooter shooting, actually tried to commit a murder 0:04:51.857 --> 0:04:54.817 via scooter shooting. You see it here. Nobody was hurt 0:04:54.857 --> 0:04:58.217 in this shooting, fortunately, but this just goes to show 0:04:58.217 --> 0:05:01.417 you this is broad daylight caught on camera. The criminal 0:05:01.457 --> 0:05:06.697 element does not have fear of police action. They think 0:05:06.697 --> 0:05:08.497 they're going to get away with the stuff, and unfortunately, 0:05:08.537 --> 0:05:11.137 in so many cases they a are. And this is 0:05:11.177 --> 0:05:15.097 because Democrat leadership in places like New York lack the 0:05:15.137 --> 0:05:18.097 political will to do what is necessary, which is lock 0:05:18.697 --> 0:05:23.097 up criminals and back the police. We see what the 0:05:23.137 --> 0:05:26.217 numbers tell us. I mean, here's a graph showing murders 0:05:26.217 --> 0:05:28.817 starting in twenty eleven New York City to twenty twenty one. 0:05:28.897 --> 0:05:32.097 You see it was at five hundred and fifteen and 0:05:32.137 --> 0:05:36.697 then it dropped way down. It actually got below three hundred. 0:05:37.097 --> 0:05:41.657 And then look at that in twenty twenty the BLM movement. 0:05:42.057 --> 0:05:46.897 All of a sudden that NYPD gets a billion dollar 0:05:47.017 --> 0:05:50.377 budget cut. There are all these changes being made, like 0:05:50.457 --> 0:05:54.857 the playing Closed Police Division, one of the most useful, 0:05:54.897 --> 0:05:57.777 most effective anti crime units of the NYPD, the largest 0:05:57.817 --> 0:06:01.937 police department in America, is taken off the streets, reassigned 0:06:01.937 --> 0:06:05.777 to other units. They effectively disband that unit, and we 0:06:05.897 --> 0:06:09.097 see the predictable results. None of this is surprising, I mean, 0:06:09.137 --> 0:06:11.537 none of this is oh wow, how did we get here? 0:06:12.177 --> 0:06:15.617 When you defund and undermine your cops, and when you 0:06:15.697 --> 0:06:20.817 have progressive lunatics running your prosecutors offices, which New York 0:06:20.857 --> 0:06:23.497 and many other cities in America do, right now, the 0:06:23.577 --> 0:06:26.377 criminals run free, and they prey on people, and they 0:06:26.457 --> 0:06:28.977 hurt people, and they kill people, and the numbers get worse, 0:06:29.577 --> 0:06:31.697 and the cops know this, and they know they don't 0:06:31.737 --> 0:06:34.417 have the political backing. They know that every time the 0:06:34.537 --> 0:06:36.537 mayor's officer in New York puts out some statement, it's 0:06:36.537 --> 0:06:38.937 always about how they have to be ready. The new 0:06:38.937 --> 0:06:42.097 police units are being trained in de escalation, and they're 0:06:42.097 --> 0:06:44.777 going to make sure that they're not even scaring the community. 0:06:45.417 --> 0:06:49.377 Cops are only scary to criminals, to the bad guys 0:06:49.457 --> 0:06:51.937 in New York. All right, we actually like our cops here, 0:06:51.977 --> 0:06:55.617 but the left, the Democrats, especially rich Democrats who live 0:06:55.617 --> 0:06:57.377 in very safe areas, they feel like this won't really 0:06:57.377 --> 0:06:59.737 affect them. They don't care. A lot of cops are leaving. 0:06:59.777 --> 0:07:02.137 The NYPD's had an exodus. Police are on pace to 0:07:02.217 --> 0:07:05.537 quit and retire once again in record numbers. They tried 0:07:05.537 --> 0:07:10.577 a recent recruiting drive and they got they want thousand. 0:07:10.577 --> 0:07:12.697 I think they got about six hundred, so just a 0:07:12.737 --> 0:07:15.737 little over half of the numbers that they wanted. That's 0:07:15.777 --> 0:07:19.097 a substantial shortfall that they're going to have to figure 0:07:19.097 --> 0:07:21.377 out what to do about. And it's not even just 0:07:21.417 --> 0:07:24.377 the NYPD in New York City that has this problem 0:07:24.977 --> 0:07:29.937 of horrible Democrat leadership results in the kinds of challenges 0:07:29.977 --> 0:07:32.817 that we're seeing here in the city. I mean the 0:07:33.137 --> 0:07:36.617 decrease in quality of life, the increase in crime. Governor 0:07:36.697 --> 0:07:40.697 Kathy Hokel, who is among the dumbest people in American 0:07:40.777 --> 0:07:43.737 political life to day, when she was asked because she 0:07:43.777 --> 0:07:46.337 wants to pass these laws now to make it harder 0:07:46.377 --> 0:07:50.657 for people to bring guns into legally on firearms into businesses, 0:07:50.697 --> 0:07:52.737 so the business is going to have to opt into 0:07:52.777 --> 0:07:55.537 allowing you to carry while you're in that business. Just 0:07:55.577 --> 0:07:57.937 makes it more annoying because you know, a criminal who's 0:07:57.937 --> 0:08:01.857 going into rob a liquor store or a bank is 0:08:01.897 --> 0:08:04.337 going to say, whoa hold on a second, this business 0:08:04.377 --> 0:08:07.177 does not allow lawful firearm carry, So I'm not going 0:08:07.177 --> 0:08:09.257 to go in there and rob it. Obviously that's not 0:08:09.297 --> 0:08:11.977 going to happen. So when Cathy Hicks asked if she 0:08:12.017 --> 0:08:17.177 has any data to back up her latest gun restriction ideas, 0:08:17.217 --> 0:08:19.977 here's what she says. Do you have the numbers to 0:08:20.097 --> 0:08:24.177 show that it's the concealed carry permit holders that are 0:08:24.377 --> 0:08:28.217 committing crimes because the lawful gun to owner will say 0:08:28.217 --> 0:08:31.617 that you're attacking the wrong person. It's really people that 0:08:31.657 --> 0:08:34.737 are getting these guns illegally that are causing the violence, 0:08:34.857 --> 0:08:38.657 not the people going and getting the permit legally, and 0:08:38.777 --> 0:08:42.097 that's the basis for the whole Supreme Court argument. Do 0:08:42.137 --> 0:08:44.937 you have the numbers. I don't need to have numbers. 0:08:45.737 --> 0:08:48.097 I don't. I don't have to have a data point 0:08:48.097 --> 0:08:50.097 to point two to say that this is going to make. 0:08:50.137 --> 0:08:52.097 All I know is I have a responsibility to the 0:08:52.097 --> 0:08:56.937 people to state to have sensible gun safety laws. I 0:08:56.937 --> 0:08:59.297 don't need the numbers. I'm just gonna do what I want. 0:08:59.977 --> 0:09:03.097 She's a moron, but that's not going to help. All right. 0:09:03.097 --> 0:09:05.817 The Supreme Court dealta blow to the Biden administration today 0:09:05.857 --> 0:09:10.417 limiting the regulatory authority of the Environmental Protection Agency. Coming up, 0:09:10.417 --> 0:09:12.417 we'll talk to the founder and executive director of Power 0:09:12.457 --> 0:09:14.937 the Future, Daniel Turner, to explain what the new rules 0:09:14.937 --> 0:09:17.897 mean for American energy production.

Another major ruling coming out of the 0:10:19.217 --> 0:10:22.897 Supreme Court today in a setback for the Biden administration's 0:10:22.897 --> 0:10:27.217 efforts to combat climate change. They say, Court said in 0:10:27.257 --> 0:10:30.217 a sixty three ruling, the Environmental Protection Agency lacks broad 0:10:30.257 --> 0:10:34.017 authority to shift the nation's energy production away from coal 0:10:34.097 --> 0:10:37.937 burning power plans toward cleaner sources, including solar and wind power. 0:10:38.417 --> 0:10:40.737 Driven now to discuss one of the most important environmental 0:10:40.977 --> 0:10:44.057 environmental decisions in a long time founder and executive director 0:10:44.097 --> 0:10:47.537 of Power the Future, Daniel Turner. Daniel, what's up man? 0:10:48.257 --> 0:10:50.097 Thanks for having me, Um Well, going to be with you. 0:10:50.817 --> 0:10:53.977 So just tell us what went down that day with us? 0:10:54.097 --> 0:10:57.897 What was that issue in this particular Supreme Court case 0:10:57.897 --> 0:11:00.257 when it comes to the EPA and its ability to 0:11:00.977 --> 0:11:05.857 make administrative law. Essentially, Yeah, this is ten years in 0:11:05.897 --> 0:11:09.937 the making, right. This really started with the Obama EPA 0:11:10.577 --> 0:11:13.777 legislation like the Clean Air Act and giving it really 0:11:13.817 --> 0:11:18.177 really wide interpretation and administrators determining, well, if the Clean 0:11:18.257 --> 0:11:22.937 Air Act says this, therefore were allowed to regulate whole industries, right, 0:11:22.977 --> 0:11:25.977 And we were shutting down coal plants because it was 0:11:26.057 --> 0:11:28.217 under the Clean Air Act. And finally, the Governor of 0:11:28.217 --> 0:11:30.497 West Virginia and I'm in the great state of West 0:11:30.577 --> 0:11:33.377 Virginia right now doing this, so I'm honored. Finally, the 0:11:33.817 --> 0:11:37.137 Attorney General of West Virginia pushed back and said, no, no, no, 0:11:37.177 --> 0:11:40.057 like you. If Congress wants to change the mandate of 0:11:40.137 --> 0:11:43.977 the Clean Air Act or any legislation, Congress has to 0:11:43.977 --> 0:11:48.457 write legislation on it. Bureaucrats cannot arbitrarily interpret them as 0:11:48.497 --> 0:11:50.937 they want. That has not within their power. That's all 0:11:50.937 --> 0:11:53.417 the courts did today was saying, no, Congress, you need 0:11:53.457 --> 0:11:55.697 to write a law if you want that result. And 0:11:55.777 --> 0:11:59.497 the Democrat members of Congress are apoplectic, calling this, you know, 0:12:00.017 --> 0:12:05.617 irresponsible and radical. They're just saying, Congress, do your job. 0:12:06.617 --> 0:12:08.817 And what kind of costs? I mean, do we have 0:12:08.937 --> 0:12:13.017 any sense as to what this regulation would have meant 0:12:13.057 --> 0:12:17.857 in terms of making energy more expensive, making it harder 0:12:17.897 --> 0:12:22.697 for the power companies, the power producers to do what 0:12:22.737 --> 0:12:26.577 they do for the people that need their product. Yeah, 0:12:26.617 --> 0:12:29.697 that's a tough one to answer because I look at 0:12:29.737 --> 0:12:32.017 this included in that as well as the human cost. 0:12:32.137 --> 0:12:34.417 Like I said, this is ten years in the making, 0:12:34.417 --> 0:12:36.737 and you have to remember when Obama ran for president, 0:12:37.097 --> 0:12:39.657 he said, I'm not going to make coal illegal. I'm 0:12:39.697 --> 0:12:41.177 just going to say that if you own a coal 0:12:41.257 --> 0:12:44.177 plant when I'm president, you're going to go bankrupt. We 0:12:44.257 --> 0:12:48.417 have shut down since then about two hundred coal plants nationwide. 0:12:49.137 --> 0:12:51.217 Look at the cost of energy right now, right look 0:12:51.257 --> 0:12:54.257 at the looming blackouts that are coming. This is all 0:12:54.297 --> 0:12:58.017 the instability of the electric grid. But look at what 0:12:58.057 --> 0:13:01.457 we've done to coal communities around the country where we've 0:13:01.857 --> 0:13:05.537 taken industries that used to employ thousands of people, tens 0:13:05.537 --> 0:13:08.337 of thousands of people, and we've taken away their job. 0:13:08.617 --> 0:13:12.377 None of these green jobs ever materialized. Right, We've put 0:13:12.417 --> 0:13:15.337 them in underwater mortgages. We've shuttered their schools because there's 0:13:15.337 --> 0:13:18.697 no funding. And now what are old coal communities have? 0:13:18.777 --> 0:13:22.937 They have opioid problems, suicide problems defended, all problem is 0:13:22.977 --> 0:13:27.657 worse in old coal towns. Right. So we've destroyed the 0:13:27.817 --> 0:13:30.457 lives of tens of thousands of Americans in the name 0:13:30.457 --> 0:13:33.137 of climate change, and no one's cried about them. Right. 0:13:33.297 --> 0:13:35.937 Power the future has I have you have? But the 0:13:35.977 --> 0:13:40.817 Obama administration, the Biden administration. Just yesterday, Jena McCarthy, one 0:13:40.817 --> 0:13:44.497 of the climates ares was, was applauding the number of 0:13:44.537 --> 0:13:48.777 fossil fuel unemployment that has happened under her watch. They're 0:13:48.857 --> 0:13:52.337 happy that they're destroying the lives of Americans. So that's 0:13:52.377 --> 0:13:56.017 the biggest hole that it's taken. Chief Justice John Roberts 0:13:56.097 --> 0:13:59.817 was quoted in the majority opinion as saying a writing 0:14:00.257 --> 0:14:03.337 capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force 0:14:03.457 --> 0:14:06.937 a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to 0:14:07.017 --> 0:14:10.177 generate electricity. Maybe a sensible solution to the crisis of 0:14:10.217 --> 0:14:13.417 the day. But it is not plausible that Congress gave 0:14:13.457 --> 0:14:16.577 the EPA the authority to adopt on its own such 0:14:16.577 --> 0:14:20.617 a regulatory scheme. A decision of such magnitude and consequence 0:14:20.697 --> 0:14:24.337 rests with Congress itself or an agency acting pursue into 0:14:24.337 --> 0:14:29.937 a clear delegation from that representative body. I mean, I 0:14:30.017 --> 0:14:34.817 gotta say anything that reigns in the administrative state these 0:14:34.897 --> 0:14:39.297 days I view as a good thing. Daniel. I wanted 0:14:39.417 --> 0:14:41.657 your take on this. I mean, I think what we 0:14:41.697 --> 0:14:44.977 saw during COVID, never mind, when you think about what's 0:14:45.017 --> 0:14:48.257 going on in the energy industry, was that three letter 0:14:48.537 --> 0:14:51.817 Federal agencies that decide that they have a lot of 0:14:51.817 --> 0:14:56.497 power to make law unto themselves, essentially are a huge 0:14:56.577 --> 0:14:59.817 threat to liberty, to commerce, to the everyday lives of 0:14:59.857 --> 0:15:04.017 the American people. You raise a great point because COVID 0:15:04.137 --> 0:15:06.697 is the next step of the climate movement, as they've 0:15:06.737 --> 0:15:10.617 wanted the Biden administration to declare climate change in national emergency. 0:15:10.937 --> 0:15:13.537 And when you declare something in national emergency or a 0:15:13.617 --> 0:15:17.097 health emergency, you can shut down people's churches, right, You 0:15:17.097 --> 0:15:19.737 can force them to close their business, you can force 0:15:19.777 --> 0:15:22.337 people to be locked in their homes all for the 0:15:22.377 --> 0:15:24.697 greater good. And where does their authority come from. It 0:15:24.697 --> 0:15:29.497 comes from this huge bureaucratic, unelected, regulatory state. So you're 0:15:29.537 --> 0:15:32.657 absolutely right. The left loves the bureaucracy and they love 0:15:32.777 --> 0:15:38.057 regulation because it's nebulous, it's vague, it's all encompassing. The 0:15:38.217 --> 0:15:41.417 left does not like the law because the law is specific. 0:15:41.577 --> 0:15:45.337 And if you want to work in the DC swamp 0:15:45.377 --> 0:15:49.817 and you want to advance an agenda, you need thousands 0:15:49.857 --> 0:15:52.897 of regulations. You need a big, nebulous world. And so 0:15:52.937 --> 0:15:55.177 this is a huge wind for victory. It's a win 0:15:55.297 --> 0:15:59.577 for the energy industry, it's a huge win for freedoms 0:15:59.577 --> 0:16:02.857 in America. Quite frankly, that we're taking power back from 0:16:02.857 --> 0:16:05.097 the government also wors if you give us out there. 0:16:05.177 --> 0:16:10.657 Daniel on the state of the Biden administrations and treaties, quests, 0:16:11.537 --> 0:16:15.737 begging whatever you want to call it, to foreign governments 0:16:15.777 --> 0:16:20.257 to produce like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, to produce more oil 0:16:20.337 --> 0:16:23.377 instead of really encouraging it here at home. What's what's 0:16:23.417 --> 0:16:26.497 the latest on that? Yeah, you know, last week, but 0:16:26.737 --> 0:16:30.417 the major oil CEOs were summoned to DC. But President 0:16:30.457 --> 0:16:32.897 Biden was very proud that he refused to meet with them. 0:16:32.937 --> 0:16:36.937 He sent Jennifer Granholm, which is, you know, a know 0:16:37.097 --> 0:16:40.777 nothing staffer really to deal with them. So he's made 0:16:40.817 --> 0:16:45.457 these tremendous outreaches to the Saudis, to Venezuela, to Iran. 0:16:45.617 --> 0:16:47.977 He wants the whole world to produce more oil, but 0:16:48.057 --> 0:16:50.577 he won't make the slightest overture to America because it 0:16:50.577 --> 0:16:53.857 blows up his green agenda. And it just it's just 0:16:53.937 --> 0:16:56.937 fascinates me to see this guy really hat in hand, 0:16:56.977 --> 0:16:59.897 going around the world asking for an increase in oil production, 0:17:00.217 --> 0:17:02.937 knowingly need to produce more oil, but refusing to look 0:17:02.977 --> 0:17:06.217 here domestically. He needs the radical green movement on his 0:17:06.297 --> 0:17:09.297 side and h and he's not going to anger them 0:17:09.337 --> 0:17:12.857 before the midterm. But we're suffering as a result. Are 0:17:12.937 --> 0:17:17.817 we seeing any movement from the Biden administration to get 0:17:17.857 --> 0:17:19.657 some of the regulation out of the way so that 0:17:19.697 --> 0:17:24.657 there can be more exploration and refining and producing of 0:17:25.297 --> 0:17:28.537 gasoline for the consumer market or are they taking even 0:17:28.737 --> 0:17:31.217 basic steps in that direction, or they holding out even 0:17:31.217 --> 0:17:34.017 though the elections looming. No, they're going to hold out 0:17:34.017 --> 0:17:36.417 as long as possible. Like I talk to people in 0:17:36.417 --> 0:17:39.577 this base all the time. An oil driller told me 0:17:39.657 --> 0:17:41.657 just the other day that he's one of these quote 0:17:41.697 --> 0:17:44.417 unquote nine thousand leases we hear about. But he said, 0:17:44.457 --> 0:17:47.097 I can't get my right of way permitting right, the 0:17:47.097 --> 0:17:50.097 permission to actually drill a Well, that's the next step 0:17:50.137 --> 0:17:52.097 after your lease, and it's being held up by the 0:17:52.137 --> 0:17:54.377 Department of Interior. And he said it's been months and 0:17:54.537 --> 0:17:56.937 months that we're just waiting for them to give the 0:17:56.977 --> 0:17:59.257 green lights. So again, this is the power of the 0:17:59.297 --> 0:18:02.617 regulatory state. Where some guy in the Permian basin he 0:18:02.737 --> 0:18:07.217 needs deb Hollands. Okay, right, where are the governors to say, no, no, no, 0:18:07.257 --> 0:18:10.097 We don't need some bureaucrat three thousand miles away in 0:18:10.217 --> 0:18:12.737 DC to tell us that we can develop our land. 0:18:12.817 --> 0:18:16.417 So they're slow walking the entire process. And it's deliberate, right. 0:18:16.417 --> 0:18:19.897 They want this green revolution. They want wind and solar, 0:18:19.977 --> 0:18:22.217 even though they don't work, even though they're expensive, even 0:18:22.257 --> 0:18:25.497 though they're made in Chinese slave camps. They want wind 0:18:25.537 --> 0:18:28.057 and solar. And if the American people have to die 0:18:28.057 --> 0:18:31.257 in the process, that's just the necessary casualty in this 0:18:31.337 --> 0:18:35.617 great transformation. Daniel, appreciate you being with us thank you. 0:18:37.457 --> 0:18:41.097 In response to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Democrats, 0:18:41.137 --> 0:18:44.657 including Joe Biden, are threatening to eliminate the Senate filibuster 0:18:44.977 --> 0:18:47.617 in order to enshrine abortion rights in US federal law. 0:18:47.697 --> 0:18:49.257 We'll have more on that with senior writer at The 0:18:49.257 --> 0:18:53.017 Federalist David Harsani after the break. First's talk about protecting 0:18:53.017 --> 0:18:54.777 your most viable asset, your home. I don't know if 0:18:54.777 --> 0:18:56.417 you saw this, but there's a recent story about an 0:18:56.417 --> 0:18:59.177 Arizona real estate agent that found the home she lived 0:18:59.217 --> 0:19:01.737 and was listed for sale. The problem was she wasn't 0:19:01.737 --> 0:19:04.297 selling her home. He was the victim of home title fraud, 0:19:04.657 --> 0:19:07.977 a devastating crime happening all over the country. According to 0:19:07.977 --> 0:19:09.817 the experts at home title lock, the crime is in 0:19:10.417 --> 0:19:13.697 profitable and hard to detect, and identity thief simply creates 0:19:13.697 --> 0:19:15.817 a fake title transfer for your home and refiles as 0:19:15.817 --> 0:19:17.937 the new owner. Then you can take out loans on 0:19:17.977 --> 0:19:21.097 your home or sell it. Typical identity theft services don't 0:19:21.137 --> 0:19:24.177 cover you, and neither there's homeowner's insurance. Home title lock 0:19:24.337 --> 0:19:27.217 does home tuttle lock would say a barrier around your 0:19:27.217 --> 0:19:30.377 home's title. The instant they detect anyone tampering with your 0:19:30.417 --> 0:19:32.537 home's title, they help shut it down and help get 0:19:32.537 --> 0:19:34.737 your home back in your name. Here's what you should do. 0:19:34.777 --> 0:19:37.097 Go to home tuttlelock dot com and read the testimonials 0:19:37.137 --> 0:19:40.577 from FBI agens and govern officials. Then register address to 0:19:40.577 --> 0:19:42.497 see if you're already a victim and don't even know it. 0:19:42.697 --> 0:19:44.697 When you protect your hometell him buck sends you to 0:19:44.697 --> 0:19:48.257 get thirty free days or protection. Home titlelock dot com. 0:19:48.337 --> 0:19:51.617 That's home titlelock dot com. David HARSTANGI stops by in 0:19:51.657 --> 0:19:59.097 a moment, stay with us. I believe we have to 0:19:59.257 --> 0:20:02.857 hoify Roe v. Wade in the law, and the way 0:20:02.897 --> 0:20:05.697 to do that is to make sure the Congress roots 0:20:05.697 --> 0:20:08.457 should do that. And if the filibuster gets in the way, 0:20:08.497 --> 0:20:11.777 it's like voting rights should be. We provide an exception 0:20:12.097 --> 0:20:17.817 for this required exception to the filibuster for this action. 0:20:18.777 --> 0:20:20.817 Only took President Biden about a week to call on 0:20:20.897 --> 0:20:24.737 Congress to cudify the right to an abortion into federal law, 0:20:25.177 --> 0:20:27.097 even if it requires getting rid of the filibuster in 0:20:27.137 --> 0:20:29.897 the Senate. Reuters is now reporting that Biden officials are 0:20:29.897 --> 0:20:34.097 concerned that more radical moves would be politically polarizing ahead 0:20:34.097 --> 0:20:38.457 of November's midterm elections, undermining public trust in institutions like 0:20:38.537 --> 0:20:41.817 the Supreme Court. So could we see this end to 0:20:41.857 --> 0:20:44.857 the filibuster a one off end maybe, or the potential 0:20:44.857 --> 0:20:48.617 political consequences too much for Democrats to bear. Joining me 0:20:48.657 --> 0:20:53.697 now to discuss Senior editor at The Federalist David Harsani, David, 0:20:53.777 --> 0:20:56.497 appreciate you being with us. Oh, it is a pleasure. 0:20:56.537 --> 0:21:00.537 Thank you. So I have to say I wish they 0:21:00.537 --> 0:21:05.057 would stop with the This issue is so important that 0:21:05.097 --> 0:21:08.697 will break the filibuster, because I remember when a year 0:21:08.737 --> 0:21:12.817 ago it was a char one is so important that 0:21:12.937 --> 0:21:14.777 we will have to break the filibus or of course 0:21:14.777 --> 0:21:17.697 they didn't, But I mean, how do we even take 0:21:17.737 --> 0:21:19.697 them seriously on this stuff? After a while, it's like, 0:21:19.737 --> 0:21:21.817 either get rid of the filibuster or don't, but stop 0:21:21.977 --> 0:21:26.417 stop pretending. Well, don't don't get rid of it. Yeah 0:21:26.417 --> 0:21:29.417 I don't like it, but I'm just saying I'm just kidding. Yeah, 0:21:29.417 --> 0:21:32.217 I get, I get yeah, yeah. I mean I don't 0:21:32.217 --> 0:21:33.617 think they're going to do it. I just think this 0:21:33.777 --> 0:21:35.497 is for show. Because a lot of people are mad 0:21:35.537 --> 0:21:37.897 about Rob Wade on the left, so he wants to 0:21:37.897 --> 0:21:39.817 pretend that he's doing something. I don't think it's going 0:21:39.817 --> 0:21:42.817 to happen, but I do think it's really destructive, mostly 0:21:42.857 --> 0:21:45.177 because you're normalizing the idea that if you don't get 0:21:45.217 --> 0:21:49.257 what you want, you could just simply, you know, destroy 0:21:49.257 --> 0:21:51.697 it norm or destroy an institution like the Supreme Court 0:21:51.737 --> 0:21:53.737 if you don't like it. I mean, Biden is literally 0:21:53.777 --> 0:21:58.417 in Madrid criticizing and attacking an institution in the United States. 0:21:58.417 --> 0:22:01.337 I mean, I think that's unprecedented. I'm not one hundred 0:22:01.377 --> 0:22:05.097 percent sure, but it was pretty bad. Also, the funny 0:22:05.097 --> 0:22:07.457 thing about this, maybe not so funny, is that he 0:22:07.537 --> 0:22:10.737 wants to make an exception for the Philip Buster only 0:22:10.777 --> 0:22:14.017 for stuff he wants, so that only Democrats can use 0:22:14.017 --> 0:22:16.937 it for bills they want to pass, but Republicans they 0:22:16.977 --> 0:22:20.497 can't use it. Right, it doesn't work that way. Harry 0:22:20.497 --> 0:22:23.297 Reid tried this with the judicial filibuster and it was destroyed. 0:22:23.497 --> 0:22:25.497 And if Democrats do it now, it will be destroyed 0:22:25.537 --> 0:22:27.457 for legislation and they'll pay a heavy price in the 0:22:27.497 --> 0:22:31.377 long run for it. Plus, it wasn't that long ago 0:22:32.337 --> 0:22:35.817 that Biden himself was saying ending the filibuster was a 0:22:35.937 --> 0:22:39.057 dangerous thing to do. In fact, it was in twenty 0:22:39.137 --> 0:22:42.497 nineteen when he said this, should they ended the legislative filibusters, 0:22:42.537 --> 0:22:46.377 that's what's needed from I think we have to make 0:22:46.417 --> 0:22:48.817 that call on the fire. Ending the filibuster is a 0:22:48.937 --> 0:22:52.057 very dangerous thing to do because it's been used by 0:22:52.177 --> 0:22:55.377
