12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: on the Chinese spy balloon that continues to traverse across

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: the United States, Senator Marshall of Kansas just said, I

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: can confirm I'm reading from his tweet now, this is

15
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: forty five minutes ago. I can confirm the Chinese spy

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: balloon is over northeastern Kansas. My staff is in contact

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: with law enforcement officials. I condemn any attempts the Chinese

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: make to spy on Americans. President Biden must protect the

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: sovereignty of the US, whether it's our airspace or the

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: southern border that was about forty five minutes ago from

21
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: Senator Marshall of Kansas. So northeast corner of Kansas would

22
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: be close to Missouri, right if if my geography in

23
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: my head is correct, there, so maybe moving from Kansas

24
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: in the direction of Missouri, and then according to the

25
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: flight plan that I have seen, at least maybe this

26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: is prevailing wind currents, this thing would then move across

27
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: the entire state of Tennessee basically, and then exit United

28
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: States Airbase in the area of North and South Carolina

29
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: around the border between those two is what those airspace

30
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: seen to suggest where they would go across. So that

31
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: is the latest on that issue. Are we sure that

32
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: we're sure there's no there are no uh, I'm sorry

33
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: that it's unmanned. Um well, I mean I think right,

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: it has to be, yeah, doesn't it. I mean, there

35
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: hasn't been any suggestion that anybody would be in this thing.

36
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: But that's the question that I was asking and we

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: kind of talked about. To me, it seems as if

38
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: this is not being remotely controlled at least in a

39
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: very significant way. Because again, and I'm not an expert,

40
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: but it appears based on the flight path that it

41
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: has taken that it is basically following the prevailing wind

42
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: currents on its way out, which makes me wonder is

43
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: there some form of issue there with their ability to

44
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: maneuver it. I don't know they have a plane, like

45
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: does the Air Force have a plane that could theoretically

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: kind of how big is this? I honestly this is

47
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it expands beyond or this. This extends beyond

48
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: my previous national security knowledge. I do not know much

49
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: about balloons. This is this is a new one for me.

50
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: But I'm just thinking, I'm like, is there anything they

51
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: can do to grab control of it? People out there

52
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: are telling me that we should certainly have the ability

53
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: to take down this Chinese spy balloon without needing to

54
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: shoot it down, which is why buck my general position

55
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: on this is we're not being told everything because right

56
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: now they're saying, oh, we're not going to take it

57
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: down because if we take it down, there could be

58
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: issues or danger associated with the balloon falling. Just just

59
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: to note, you know, they're just flashing on the screen,

60
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: Gary Francis, Gary Powers, nineteen sixty you two shooting, so

61
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: you know everyone's then the news media is sort of

62
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: going through the cycle of where we've been before that

63
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: something like this, this is a weird deal. But yeah,

64
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: well we'll continue to follow it. That's that's where that's

65
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: where we are right now or else is a weird deal.

66
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: Clay that Hunter Biden wants investigations of people with regard

67
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: to the laptop. And I was on Jesse's show last

68
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: night on Fox Talk. There's two we're friends with two,

69
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: Jesse's Waters and Kelly, So I guess we have to

70
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: start differentiating. But on Jesse Waters show last night talking

71
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: about that one, do you have you thought more about

72
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: the theory? By the way, do you have some senses

73
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: to in what world could Hunter Biden going on offense

74
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: here possibly be to his benefit? Because it just makes

75
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: it more of a story to talk about, and if anything,

76
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: it antagonizes some of his political foes who have been

77
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: right all along and would be happy. I'm sure to

78
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: get into a process here of looking at what's on

79
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: this laptop some more. I think it's next level incompetence,

80
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: and to me, it reflects that they are in a

81
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: very perilous situation because if sometimes you get back to

82
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: all the way into the corner, you feel like the

83
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: only possible outcome is you fight as hard as you

84
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: possibly can to try to intimidate people when you feel

85
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: like you have no other options. And frankly, I think

86
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: that's where we are with the Hunter Biden laptop story

87
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: this week, where effectively his attorneys had it come out, Hey,

88
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: we're in favor of you know, we're sending all these

89
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: letters because the laptop and the sharing of this data

90
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: has violated law and Hunter Biden's privacy, which everyone who

91
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: has a functional brain said, oh wow, this is an

92
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: admission that the laptop must be real, which was ultimately

93
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway. And then Hunter Biden's lawyers it's like

94
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: they recognized, oh, this didn't play like we anticipated it

95
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: would play, and so then they came back out and said,

96
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: but the laptop. We're not acknowledging the laptop is real.

97
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: It's all very very strange. It just it doesn't add

98
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: up to me at all the decision he's making. And

99
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: but I mean, but for example, can here's former Representative

100
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Donna Edwards talking about the Hunter Biden laptop. Can we

101
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: play thirteen please? They're in an environment where the House

102
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee was going to put Hunter Biden in the

103
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: news no matter what that means that from Hunter Biden's perspective,

104
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: which may be different from the White House, it's important

105
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: for him to be able to push back and not

106
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: just allow them free reign. And so I think this

107
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: is a smart strategy for him, both a smart legal

108
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: and a smart political strategy. And I think that, you know,

109
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: Republicans are then going to have to respond to this

110
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: as well. So I think some of us on the

111
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: outside who've been have heard the sort of silence, have

112
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: been frustrated with not being able to put forward his side.

113
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: So I think this is a good move for him.

114
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: What does his side exactly? Yeah, I'm a crack addict

115
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: who likes to sleep with prostitutes and sexually harass my

116
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: employees and make millions of dollars, including inappropriate relationships with

117
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: foreign governance that governments directly impact my own dad's ability

118
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: to do his job like this a lot. This just

119
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: goes to my point. A lot of politicians are not smart,

120
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: and so that clip that we just played is evidence

121
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: of how many politicians are just not smart. They can't

122
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: analyze the information and understand the significance of these stories,

123
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: which is unfortunate because they represent a lot of people.

124
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Here's Nicole Wallace over at MSNBC, of one of those

125
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: former Republicans, the least trustworthy people when it comes to

126
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: political analysis. You will ever find our former Republicans at

127
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: places like MSNBC and CNN. Here she is telling everybody

128
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: that the real answer is just don't even talk about

129
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: the Hunter Biden scandals. It's not like he's the president

130
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Play fourteen. Hunter Biden is of singular obsessive. I mean,

131
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: other than the big lie about losing in twenty twenty.

132
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything more obsessive for Trump.

133
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,679
Speaker 1: I think that if people are being honest, not many

134
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: people aren't touched by or not many people don't have

135
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: some window into the disease of addiction, which has afflicted

136
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden at various points in his life. Most people

137
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: understand a president's kids are not they're not a president.

138
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: They haven't stepped into the arena. And as I said,

139
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: there is a massive, years long federal investigation into whether

140
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: any climbs have been committed by Hunter Biden. Now that's

141
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: a more I think that's a better tactic here than

142
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: what we just heard from Donna Edwards, who's formerly a

143
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: member of Congress from Maryland, which was just there is

144
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: the problem with Hunter Biden's side is there is no

145
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: side really, And I think that the issue here when

146
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: we look for why doesn't this make sense, we've actually

147
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: found the answer, Clay, it doesn't make sense as in

148
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: the White House is like, what is this idiot doing

149
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: when they're looking at what hunters taking these lawyers now

150
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: and saying he is going to go on offense. But

151
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: even Nicole Wallace here it's so disingenuous. We know that

152
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: a president's kids haven't stepped into the arena. No, your

153
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: fifty year old son who's getting millions of dollars under

154
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: the promise that he's going to get special access and

155
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: maybe even favors from his vice president then President Dad,

156
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: that person is fair game for the press and for

157
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: the interests of the American people. That's reality. Well, especially

158
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: in the wake of the way the Trump family was covered, right,

159
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: they were aggressively raked over the coals. And again, the

160
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: easiest argument you can make about what media bias looks

161
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: like is how Hunter Biden has been treated compared to

162
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: how any Trump's son would have been treated in similar circumstances.

163
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: And Buck I want to play this, by the way,

164
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: because we went to break. I teased it, and we

165
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: can react to it a little bit when we come back.

166
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: But one of the biggest debates out there, I would say,

167
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: and this debate is going to continue throughout twenty twenty three,

168
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: is Trump is running for the Republican presidential nomination in

169
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four settled completely underway. How many people are

170
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: going to run against him? Were not clear about that,

171
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: But what if somebody other than Trump ended up as

172
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: the nominee in twenty four The fear out there is

173
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Trump himself might decide to run as a third party,

174
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: and that, frankly, was a fear going back in twenty

175
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: sixteen as well, when in one of the first primary debates,

176
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Trump refused to raise his hand on the stage and

177
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: say that he would support whoever the Republican nominee was.

178
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I think he was the only one out of ten

179
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: that didn't do it, if I remember that correctly. He

180
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: was on Hugh Hewitt's show yesterday and he was asked

181
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: that specific question, what if someone else were the nominee,

182
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: would he support that nominee or might he run as

183
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: a third party? Here's what he said it would depend

184
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: I would give you the same answer I gave in

185
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen during the debate, the first question I was asked,

186
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: I was asked two rather interesting questions. It would have

187
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: to depend on who the nominee was. So this is

188
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: the fear right because we sort of can project ahead

189
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: if Desanti's announces in June or so, as the expectation

190
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: is that he will do and he and Trump are

191
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: at the top of the ticket. But let's say Nicky

192
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: Hayley or Mike Pompeo or Mike Pence or somebody else

193
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: caught fire and ended up as the nominee instead of Trump.

194
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: The fear out there is that Trump would launch a

195
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: third party candidacy and basically hand the White House to

196
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: whomever Democrats put forward in twenty four Certainly it is

197
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: the Trump's advantage in a primary for there to be oh,

198
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: I think it's to his advantage. Actually, it depends on

199
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,479
Speaker 1: how this plays out for people to believe that's a possibility,

200
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: because then they may say it's either Trump or nothing.

201
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: The Trump or nothing mentality is supported by the possibility

202
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: of Trump going and being a third party candidate. But

203
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: I still hold firm to what I said, which is

204
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: that when push comes to shove, I don't believe that

205
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: Donald Trump would hobble the Republican Party in that way

206
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: and hand it over to Joe Biden, which is clearly

207
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: what would happen with a third party, third party president.

208
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: So so I don't think he would do it, but

209
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: I understand why he wants people to think he would

210
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: do it, you know what I mean, there's the perception

211
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: aspect of it. Yeah, I think this is another miscalculation

212
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: by Trump. I think he should say, look, I'm going

213
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: to be the nominee. I'm the best candidate, but if

214
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: people decide that I'm not the best candidate, I'll support

215
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: the Republican Yeah, of course, I think that's what he

216
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: should say if he were going to get the full benefit.

217
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: I'll explain this a little bit more because when we

218
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: come back, because I think it ties in with his

219
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: attack on de Santis in general in twenty fifteen, when

220
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: Trump said I can't promise you that I won't run

221
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: as a third party, he hadn't become the Republican standard bearer.

222
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: I totally understand that argument at that point, because if

223
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: he loses, he may think that his issues aren't being addressed.

224
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: Now that's not the case. That's important because he can't

225
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: think that he's not running as an outsider anymore right now.

226
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: I don't care anybody says about Oh, but but as

227
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: his ideas and his poll He's the former president of

228
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: the United States. You're no longer an outsider to the

229
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: to the electorate, and you're you're You're not some guy

230
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: who's coming out of nowhere. We've been president. You're the

231
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: opposite of an outsider in that respect. So I think

232
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: I think he should take the approach of somebody who is,

233
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, the de facto nominee. Already, Guys, I'm here

234
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: to lead the party. I'm the choice. We all know it.

235
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: Let's go forward with it. I mean, if I were

236
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: advising him, that would be but to be um a

237
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: little magnanimous as he goes along too, whether it's dealing

238
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: with the Scantists or others. I think I think being

239
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: a brawler among Republicans right now is not to take

240
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: all that ire and focusing on the Democrats. It should

241
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: not be within the same same party. So I agree completely.

242
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: In sixteen, he had to prove that he was capable

243
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: of being the man he's already been the man. Now

244
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: he needs to be above the frame more as an

245
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: elder statesman to the extent that he can. And I

246
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: just think he's making some strategic errors in the way

247
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: that he's running this campaign right now, and I think

248
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: that answer was one as well. Irs to find small

Speaker 1: a good, good goal. Yes, that's a good started thing. Yes.

276
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: We also have some expertise coming to us right now

277
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: from Scott in San Diego, who is a balloonist. I

278
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: didn't even know that was a thing, Scott, Yeah it is.

279
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: I fly both gas and hot air balloons. Um I

280
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: can tell you that particular balloon has got to be gas,

281
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: and it's most likely helium. There are only two ways

282
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: to gain altitude in a gas balloon, and that is

283
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: either to add helium or lose weight. When we fly

284
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: gas balloons, we lose weight to get altitude, and typically

285
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: if you dump eight pounds off of the balloon, you'll

286
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: get twelve thousand feet out of that elevation, because once

287
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: you float, you become lighter than air. But you're in

288
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: the balloon, right, So this is sorry to cut you off,

289
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: but this is unmanned. What do you know about the

290
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: piloting or controlling of an unmanned balloon like this? If

291
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't have propulsion, you're at the mercy of the winds.

292
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: There's no other way around it. The other thing with

293
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: balloons is nothing happens fast with them. So if they

294
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: were to put probably two or three golf ball size

295
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: holes in that balloon, it would gently vent and float

296
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: to the earth and land calmly. It's not like blowing

297
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: it out of the air, because if you vent the helium,

298
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: you just automatically start losing altitude. So you could just

299
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: puncture this thing in general, and it would theoretically slowly

300
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: begin a descent and not create in theory a massive,

301
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: massive result on the ground. Exactly exactly. Nothing happens fast,

302
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: and you know, unless you blew it out of the sky,

303
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: then whatever payload was on there would hit the ground.

304
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: But if you the Hindenburg was hydrogen, right, which we learned,

305
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: that's bad. You don't want a big, big balloon full

306
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: of hydrogen. And the reason they use hydrogen in the

307
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: Hindenburg is because helium was hard to get. Ah, yes,

308
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: all right, So what do you when you see this

309
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: thing happening? It's kind of crazy, right like, and we

310
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: only got like twenty seconds here, But what's your thoughts

311
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: you watch this thing floating across the country. My opinion

312
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: is yours. Get it out of the sky. Yeah, yeah,

313
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: And you know the obviously the Pentagon knows plenty of

314
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 1: experts that could tell you the same thing I just

315
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: told you. You know, put a small hole in it

316
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: and it would vent the helium. Eventually it's going to

317
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: run out of helium. Thanks for calling in. Let's talk

318
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: about tone of the Towers Foundation Talath. The Towers Foundation

319
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: is doing everything they can to give educators access to

320
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: non fiction nine eleven resources for K through twelve because

321
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: there's a whole generation of Americans who know little to

322
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: nothing about nine to eleven. So TNATH the Towers is

323
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: doing something about this, providing full curriculum curriculum units built

324
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: around first person accounts with scripted social studies, lessons, activities,

325
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: and background for teachers. They've also set up a speakers

326
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: bureau with nine to eleven first responders, survivors and loved

327
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: ones plus. As you know, the Tone of the Towers

328
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: Foundation just so much for our nation's heroes and their

329
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: families to never forget. We must educate future generations. Help

Speaker 1: put us together. Kentuckian whose lives that basically everywhere buck.

340
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody traveled more across the kind.

341
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: I think she knows something about epic Pairing's Clay, So

342
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: there's that. UM. I wanted to play this. I think

343
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: we mentioned yesterday, but the Tyree Nichols story is basically vanished.

344
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 1: UM buy in large right. The video came out a

345
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: week ago Friday, and it came out at six pm Central,

346
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: and there was immediate sort of reaction, and then all

347
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: this week there have been a little bit of different details.

348
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: His funeral, I believe, was on Wednesday afternoon and Al

349
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: Sharpton was one of the speakers, and I just wanted

350
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: to play this for everybody out there because I think

351
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: it's important to understand. Many people in America legitimately believe

352
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: that racism is so bad, that race relations are so bad,

353
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: that police can't be trusted, and that police are killing

354
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: thousands of black people. That's what they believe, thousands of

355
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: black people every year because of their race. And you say, well,

356
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: how does that happen? How does so many people believe

357
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: something that's fundamentally not true. It's because of things like

358
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: what Al Sharpton said during the Tyree Nichols funeral on Wednesday.

359
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: I think it's important to know what's being said and

360
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: how that can fuel all of the factual inaccuracies. Out there, Listen,

361
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: how do you have the same department then keep crime

362
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: down on one side of town without eating folk to death?

363
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: But you can't do it on the other side of

364
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: town unless you feel that you can get away with

365
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: it there. I can't speak for everybody in Memphis. I

366
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: can't speak for everybody gathering, but for me, I believe

367
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: that that man had been white, you wouldn't have beat

368
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: him like that that night. So look, first of all,

369
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: that's racist. Okay, let's just be honest. But that is

370
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: how race hustlers like Al Sharpton have their job. They

371
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: argue that five black police officers beat Tyree Nichols because

372
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: he was black. They're still trying to play the race

373
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: card because it's the only card that he has. And

374
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: what's important here is, and I know we've said it

375
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: on this show before, but I want to directly say it.

376
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: Seventy five percent of people who are shot and killed

377
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: by police are white, Hispanic, or Asian, three out of

378
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: every four. Almost no one in the Al Sharpton universe,

379
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: the race hustler universe, will acknowledge those facts, and a

380
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: huge percentage of their audience buck has no idea that

381
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: those facts exist. You can go look them up for yourself.

382
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: Washington Post has a database of police shootings. I wish

383
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: police never had to shoot anyone, but they do. And

384
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: I'll just point this out, and I think it's kind

385
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: of a mic drop moment on this argument. Take away

386
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: the race argument. If you tried to argue that police

387
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: were sexist because they were only shooting men, which by

388
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: and large they are, almost everyone will say, well, that's

389
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: a ridiculous argument. They're shooting men because men are more

390
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: violent and men are committing more crimes. I would say, yes,

391
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: kind of ends the argument, right. The data out there

392
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: is clear this is not a race based decision. But

393
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: there is a cottage industry of race hustlers, of whom

394
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton is one of the leaders that owe their

395
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: entire existence to being able to spread that falsehood. It's

396
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: saddening that in a moment like this, when there was

397
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: a universal condemnation of the law enforcement actions, and in

398
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: this instance with Tyrey Nichols, that this isn't viewed as

399
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity to one look at oversight, training, hiring issues

400
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: within departments and be honest about it, not say, oh,

401
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: let's just have fewer cops. And see what happens, because

402
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: that's going to make the problems all worse. But have

403
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: we lowered standards in different departments? Has there been more

404
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: of a focus on what is politically appealing for the

405
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: police force from a diversity and inclusion perspective instead of

406
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: just looking at we need to make sure that our

407
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: officers are as trained up and as as skilled as

408
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: they can possibly be. There are places where we could

409
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: have You would think there's a place now to have

410
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: that conversation, but really the conversation is from people like

411
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton. Let's just talk about how this was racism

412
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: even though it was five black officers, and that's really

413
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: what this comes down to, or find some way to

414
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: make it the thing that is politically advantageous to, as

415
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: you said, race hustlers, the Democrat Party narrative. Overall, there

416
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: isn't a discussion. You know, they say, we need to

417
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: have a discussion about police violence. Okay, let's talk about that,

418
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: but that's not really what a lot of the loudest

419
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: voices on this want to do. They want to give

420
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 1: everybody a lecture about how even when it is black

421
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: officers and a black victim, it is still the result

422
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: of racism. It is still a racist system, which is

423
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: why al Sharpton said, well, they wouldn't have done it

424
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: if he was white. But also, by the way, based

425
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: on what it's not even true. There are white people

426
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: who are killed by cops in this country in greater

427
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: numbers than black people killed by police every single year.

428
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: And I know than the other side will say, oh, well,

429
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: but as a percentage of population, and you say, okay,

430
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: are we going to start talking about percentage of population

431
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: interactions with law enforcement? Because then what you're going to

432
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: see is that the data supports police generally being more

433
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: cautious about lethal use of force and escalation of force

434
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: with black individuals than with white individuals because of the

435
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: politics around us around it. And you know Harvard that

436
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: study that we've talked about where an economists just crunch

437
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: the numbers, so you know, they want to use the

438
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: numbers a little bit, and then they don't they want

439
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: to talk about percentage, and then they don't. They don't

440
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 1: actually want to people like al Sharpton. Al Sharpton isn't

441
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: focused on what is going to make the maximum number

442
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: of Americans and the maximum number of Black Americans specifically

443
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: safer in their neighborhoods and better off in police interactions.

444
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton's interest is Al Sharpton full stop. And there

445
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: are other people like him who don't actually care about

446
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: the broader problems, and that's why they speak about these

447
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: issues the way they do. Also, his argument of you're

448
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: able to make it safe in one part of the

449
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: neighborhood or one part of the city and not another

450
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: completely misses the fact that crime is not evenly distributed

451
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: across cities. And that's why many of you out there

452
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: listening to me right now chose the neighborhoods that you

453
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: live in because schools are better in low crime communities.

454
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: They are because property values are better in low crime communities.

455
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: It's not that police are overallocating resources in those communities.

456
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: It's that those communities, frankly, don't actually commit very much crime.

457
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: And in fact, one of the actually beneficial parts of

458
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: policing has been buck As you've talked about, most crime

459
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: in all cities is actually constrained to small portions of

460
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: the city. Even quote unquote high crime area is frequently

461
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: only have a couple of streets or a couple of

462
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: blocks where crime is at its highest levels. And the

463
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: reason this Tyree Nichols thing was so universally abhorrent is

464
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: because it was clearly a overreach by police in their jobs.

465
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: And this I've been talking about this this issue for

466
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: a long time, Buck, because the Colin Kaepernick incident put

467
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 1: so much attention on it in the NFL when I

468
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: was in the world of sports, and even from the

469
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: get go, of course, sports media, which is among the

470
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: dumbest and most biased of all media, they didn't want

471
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: to talk about this fact. Colin Kaepernick could have taken

472
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: a knee and said I'm protesting police violence. He didn't

473
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: do that. He said I'm protesting police killing young black people.

474
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't protest young black people killing young

475
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: black people. And so I think it's just so important

476
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: and even our politicians do a poor job of this,

477
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: and I think Buck, unfortunately, that's because even mentioning race

478
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: is such a third rail now that people are terrified,

479
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: even politicians, of being branded racist if they share facts

480
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: that make people uncomfortable. I would just remind everybody that

481
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: the Democrats don't even offer up an explanation as to

482
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: why is it that there's been not just as such

483
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: an increase in violent crime nationally since twenty twenty, since

484
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: the George Floyd incident. Why has there been such an

485
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 1: increase specifically in black communities across the country, What has

486
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: led to that? And when? The reason they don't offer

487
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: up in the answers is because we all know what

488
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: the answers are. Less policing, less prosecution, less willingness to

489
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: enforce the law, undermining of cops, the essentially the encouraging

490
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: of lawlessness that goes on in a lot of jurisdictions.

491
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 1: You know, not arresting people unless they steal more than

492
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars of stuff. All these things, These are

493
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: bad policies that leave you know, ninety nine percent of

494
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: the law abiding individuals in communities of all kinds, including

495
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: minority predominant communities, in a situation where they're worse off,

496
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: less safe, their businesses are less able to function, and

497
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: they're just less happy in their communities. But the Left

498
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: has no answers for this. Their only answer is it's

499
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: always racism. It's always race. They are completely invested in

500
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: this in a way that defies facts, logic, numbers, and reason. Here,

501
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to hit this to Wall Street journal piece.

502
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: I would encourage you to read two twenty academic paper

503
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: from Friar and divide cities where police are maligned and

504
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: investigated the most see the biggest increase in in these

505
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: violent acts. In fact, I'm reading directly from it. Our

506
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: estimates suggest investigating police departments after viral incidents of police

507
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: violence are responsible for a approximately four hundred and fifty

508
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: excess homicides per year. That's pretty unbelievable and so unfortunately,

509
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: the likely outcome of what occurred in Memphis is going

510
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: to be more people dying because of the demonization of

511
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: all police as posed to the punishment of the few

512
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: bad apples. Coming back next segment, close out the shop

Speaker 1: and as I am an uncle now I have an

545
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: adorable little nephew. He's about two years old. Um, I'm

546
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: having to get used to the whole Uncle Buck thing.

547
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: It's funny though, because people say, oh, but that's John Candy.

548
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: He's great in that movie. I'm like, yeah, but like,

549
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to be a you know

550
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: what I mean, that's not aspirational to be the John

551
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: Candy then movie. He's a nice guy in all but

552
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: doesn't even like cook trash into a giant pancake or something.

553
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: You know. I actually John Candy roll every well, plane

554
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: strains and automobiles probably right, I love you know, if

555
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: you're talking John Candy. I like The Great Outdoors. The

556
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: Great Outdoors was great also. I mean that's the Uncle

557
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: Buck character right where he was in the Great Outdoors.

558
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: He eats the old seventy six er, isn't that. I

559
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,239
Speaker 1: mean he's Uncle Buck in the movie. Uncle Buck. Oh,

560
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: I thought he was Uncle Buck in the Great Outdoors.

561
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: He's not. I'm crossed over. I apologize for my nineteen

562
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: eighties movie failure. There you know he makes He makes

563
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: a quick cameo in the end of In the Truck

564
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: Bed in Home Alone as well. That has basically turned

565
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: into the most popular Christmas movie of all time by

566
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: the Polish Singing Crew. I watched that just recently with

567
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: my kid. And the end of Vacation, where he is

568
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: the person who's taken hostage by Chevy Chase, is also

569
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: an incredible end of movie role for John Candy out

570
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: there what my mom. By the way, Buck had good

571
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: advice for you as we prepare for Buck's wedding tomorrow.

572
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: She said, congrats to you, and carry her advice for you.

573
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Let her do all the decorating. You get it one

574
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: comfortable chair that you can pick and it's preferable to

575
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: keep that chair out of sight. So that is my

576
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: mom's advice. So your mom is a mind reader, because

577
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: that is to a t what has she does all that,

578
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: she makes all the decorative choices. I have my man chair. Yeah,

579
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: I got a man chair that I hang out. I

580
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: got a chair for the show. And then I've got

581
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: my man chair just for laying out in and that

582
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: is it and it is out of sight. So yeah, yep,

583
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: there you go. You're already I mean, you're falling ahead

584
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: of the game. I'm trying to collect a lot of

585
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: wisdom here. You know, I've been around a little bit,

586
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: so I got a lot of folks, a lot of

587
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: friends out there who have been married for quite some time. Um,

588
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I like I like to learn

589
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: from from their experiences. So that's where we are on this.

590
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: You think you're gonna be nervous go to bed tonight, uh,

591
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: waking up with for the for the big wedding. I

592
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: don't people ask that. I don't really. Yeah, you know,

593
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. I don't know. I think with

594
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: something you want to do, you got to be excited

595
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: about it. That'll be great. And it's also it's not

596
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: in front of a We're not having like a two

597
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: and all this family. It's just family gathering. It's gonna

598
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: be great. So really looking forward to it. No, it

599
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: should be uh, it should be outstanding. Um. Maybe again

600
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: by the time you come back on Monday. The Chinese

601
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: Spy Balloon will have left the venue, left the United States.

602
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: I can't believe that this is actually happening. Like if

603
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: you had told me, hey, what are you guys going

604
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: to talk about the most on Friday? On Monday, the

605
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: idea that the Biden administration would be totally fine with

606
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: letting a Chinese spy balloon float across the entire country

607
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: would have never been on. That wouldn't even have been

608
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: on my Bingo card of potential topics. YEP. I still

609
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: wonder what they think the end result of this is

610
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Where does this all go? I think

611
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: they're just looking to play it out. You would think

612
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: that maybe they could find a way to bring it down,

613
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: perhaps by puncturing a hole in it at least, you know,

614
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: maybe that's that's doable. I don't know. It's a lot

615
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: of fun memes. I will say that there are a

616
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: lot of memes out there about the Chinese spy balloon. So,

617
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: and I'm keep thinking of that song too, what is

618
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: it ninety nine balloons? Like, Yeah, that's a great song,

619
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: remember that. Yeah, I think it was about the end

620
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: of the world. By the way, just putting that out there, well,

621
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: it's a little bit dark but the song actually has

622
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: a nice beat to it. Um, it's good to we.

623

625
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, who, when you hear him talk on Monday,

626
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,280

Speaker 1: a married man. Should be a lot of fun. Contrat

628
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: home in the house too. All. I'm afraid I have

629
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 1: my grandfather's ring, so I'm afraid of losing it. But

630
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: I never you get used to it quickly, even like

631
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: in the gym or whatever else. I never really take

632
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: my ring off. So because I'm afraid of losing it,

633
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: What about one of those rubber ones? Is that not?

634
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: Are those coolant popular now? I don't have one of

635
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: those
