I always have 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: to stay presuming because of what the travel situation has 11 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: been like for many of you out there trying to 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: go anywhere. There still is some travel to be done. 13 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: But back in the United States, back on the United 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: States Soil. Looking forward to being back with him tomorrow, 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: finding out how that honeymoon went as we've been discussing. 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: Encourage you to download the podcast, make sure you don't 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: miss a moment. You can start up my name Clay Travis, 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: you can such out Buck Sexton's name. Tens of millions 19 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: of you are downloading the podcast every single month on 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: throughout the year, and we appreciate all of you who 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: are doing that and We started off the program talking 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: about the incredible disconnect between Joe Biden's focus on the 23 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Ukrainian border while ignoring, by and large, what is going 24 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: on at our own southern border. And I asked the question, 25 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: how would you like to have seen one hundred billion 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: dollars of your taxpayer dollars spent? Would you have rather 27 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: that money gone to protect Americans and our southern border, 28 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: or would you rather have spent one hundred billion dollars 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: on Ukraine? And I asked the larger question, by the way, 30 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: ninety let me look at the exact most recent number here, 31 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: so I get it one hundred percent right, But somewhere 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: around ninety five percent of you, with twenty thousand votes cast, said, 33 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: you know what, I'd rather have the money spent on 34 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: the United States border. Ninety four percent of you with 35 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: right at twenty thousand votes cast in the first in 36 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: the first hour or so of that vote being up 37 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: right at ninety four percent of you were saying you'd 38 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: rather see the hundred billions spent here. And then as 39 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: we were going to break, I was asking you to 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: think about a question, how would we react if sixty 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: thousand because that's the latest number, sixty thousand Russian soldiers 42 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: had been killed and two hundred thousand had been killed 43 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: or wounded, and much of both killing and the maiming 44 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: the wounding that is going on was being done by 45 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: a foreign adversary providing all that money. Well, one way 46 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: to think about it is, this is why Trump killed 47 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: Solomani in Iraq as he was traveling from Iran, because 48 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: the Iranians were helping to fund the weapons that were 49 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: being used to kill and name American soldiers in Iraq, 50 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: and Trump said, We're not going to stand for that anymore. 51 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: We're going to defend United States troops. Even though Iran 52 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: is not directly necessarily causing those deaths, they're providing all 53 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: the weapons that are leading to those deaths. And so, 54 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: something that I would ask all of you to think about, 55 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: as it feels to me like we inch closer and 56 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: closer every day to a major global conflagration that could 57 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: potentially lead to World War three, how would we react 58 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: in America right now if sixty thousand Americans were dead 59 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: and two hundred thousand Americans were wounded, and one of 60 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: our foreign adversaries, let's say it was Russia, China or Iran, 61 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: just to pick three. If they said, oh, tough break America, 62 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: well that we didn't have anything to do with that, 63 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: and we said, wait a minute. All the sixty thousand 64 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: Americans and the two hundred thousand woundings, all of that 65 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: was occurring because you guys are on China or Russia 66 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: had provided the materials, the weapons that allowed that to occur. 67 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: Would we consider those countries to be noncombatants. I think 68 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: the answer is no. And the reason why I bring 69 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: it up is, imagine that you're in Russia right now. 70 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: Let's leave aside whether you even care about the legitimacy 71 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: of the war itself, but rather you're just dealing with 72 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: those casualties. Sixty thousand dead, two hundred thousand wounded. What 73 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: percentage of those deaths and of those injuries in combat 74 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: are directly related to American combat materials? Guns, bombs, maybe 75 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: soon fighter jets, but in the meantime, tank a third, 76 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: a quarter, or a half maybe higher. Wouldn't you consider, 77 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: if you were Russian the United States to be a 78 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: combatant in this battlefield right now? And again, take it 79 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: outside of Russia if it makes it easier, and just 80 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: presume that the United States was engaged in military action, 81 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: sixty thousand of our troops or dead, two hundred thousand 82 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: had been wounded or killed, and Iran, China or Russia 83 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: had provided the war weaponry that allowed that to occur. 84 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: Wouldn't we all consider them to be enemy combatants? Would 85 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: it make a big difference to us who was actually 86 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: pulling the trigger if they had given one hundred billion 87 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: dollars in assets that allowed sixty thousand of our troops 88 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: to be dead. I'm gonna be honest with you, I 89 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: would consider Russia or Iran or China to be combatants 90 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: in that scenario. And then imagine if their head of 91 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: state traveled to that battleground and spent the day bragging 92 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: about how much of an ally they were with the 93 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: country that had been killing us? How would you respond? 94 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be honest with you. Again. I think 95 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: a big part of contemplating where things are going is 96 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: taking it outside of the American mindset and thinking about 97 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: it from the Russian mindset. Wouldn't you be out for 98 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: blood if you were Russia. Wouldn't you be trying to 99 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: figure any way out that you could with your Iranian 100 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: and Chinese allies to extract pain on the United States 101 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: for what we're doing, because make no mistake, what Joe 102 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Biden is trying to argue right now is, oh, we're 103 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: not involved, we don't have boots on the ground. But 104 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: that line of what classifies as involvement keeps moving closer 105 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: and closer to boots on the ground. And I'm not 106 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: trying to defend Russia in any way. I'm just asking 107 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: you to think, as an American, how you would want 108 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: to respond if this situation was occurring to America. You'd 109 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: want to f up sorry the phrasing the here. You'd 110 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: want to f up Russia. You'd want to f up China, 111 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: You'd want to f up Iran. We know because Trump 112 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: did it when he killed Solomoni based on them providing 113 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: the materials that allowed Americans to be killed. Well, when 114 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: we're given a hundred billion dollars to Ukraine to kill Russians, 115 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest with you, that's a level of 116 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: culpability to me that in that makes America officially, I think, 117 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: at this point for months now, an actual combatant in 118 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: this battle, even if we aren't providing yet troops on 119 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: the ground. And given the fact that We're now in 120 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: a quagmire, and we've got Joe Biden walking around in Ukraine. 121 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: It feels to me like every single day it becomes 122 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: closer and closer to the United States being directly involved 123 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: in this battle. And if you're Russia and you're reaching 124 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: out to China, and you're reaching out to Iran and 125 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: you are saying you hate the United States, the way 126 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: to get back into the United States is to stand 127 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: with us against Ukraine. At what point does this become 128 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: a larger battlefield? Are we already there and are we 129 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: setting ourselves up to be attacked in some way because 130 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: of our increasing involvement there? And frankly, what I think 131 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: is a cocky move by Joe Biden to go show 132 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: up in Ukraine. Now, I think it's misguided because I 133 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: care about America and our borders way more than I 134 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: do Ukraine. But I just want all of you out 135 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: there to think about how you would respond. I used 136 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: to do this test because I think it's so important. 137 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: When I would do sports talk radio, there were always scandals, 138 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: and what I found was overwhelmingly people would defend whatever 139 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: their favorite team or their favorite player did, and it 140 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: didn't matter at all. What the details were, and so 141 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: I would say, okay, okay. Instead of Ohio State doing it, 142 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: pretend that Michigan did it. How would you respond, Well, 143 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: that's totally different. Well why is it totally different? Well, 144 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: because I hate OHI you know, I hate Ohio State. 145 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm a Michigan fan. Or I hate Michigan, I'm an 146 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: Ohio State fan. So pretend that what is happening to 147 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: Russia right now is happening to the United States. Six 148 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: thousand dead, two hundred thousand wounded most recent estimates, and 149 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: all of it was being done based on Russian military support. 150 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: Would you really care who was pulling the trigger? Or 151 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: would you say I want revenge. I'm out for blood. 152 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: They're killing my compatriots. I think we have to be prepared. 153 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying I think we have to be prepared 154 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: at some point in the near future. This is my 155 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: prediction for Russia to strike back at US through either 156 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: Iran or China, to send a message that we have 157 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: crossed over from neutral party to direct combatant. I don't 158 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 1: know what that will look like, I don't know what 159 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: that will entail. All I know is that's what we 160 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: would do in this scenario area, and that's why I 161 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: expect at some point Russia may well do it. So 162 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: if that happens, what is the American response probably going 163 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: to be what it's already been. Every single day we 164 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: get a little bit closer to being direct combatants in Ukraine, 165 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: and every single day East Palestine, nobody cares southern border 166 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people coming across, so bad the 167 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: northern borders now fallen apart. Remember, if you keep in 168 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: mind my general thesis that everything Joe Biden touches turns 169 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: to crap, it's the bidas touch. Things are about to 170 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: get I think, far worse in terms of what's going 171 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: on in Ukraine. And you can understand why Russia would 172 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: be reaching out and seeking allies among people who hate America, 173 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: because they believe that we have entered into a direct 174 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: war with them, and we're pretending that we're not. If 175 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: you keep handing somebody brass knuckles and they punch somebody 176 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: in the face with them, at some point, it's hard 177 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: to say you're not involved in the fist fight. Too. 178 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: If you hand somebody a gun and they shoot somebody, 179 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: you get charged with a crime. Here in America, we 180 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: are fighting. We're just trying to claim that we aren't. 181 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: And I think Biden's continued embrace of Ukraine both highly 182 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: suspicious and highly troubling for what it means going forward 183 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: in the US. I think this is gonna get messy, 184 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna get messy even more so 185 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: very soon. Another week of rough weather out there affecting 186 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: many parts of our country, plenty of disruptions out there 187 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: this time of year. You need more than just flashlights, batteries, 188 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: candles in your home when you're locked in and the 189 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: power goes down, regardless of where you live, and based 190 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: on the way we've spent the past a year or so, 191 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: I have the same confidence that whatever you need is 192 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: always going to be at the grocery store. I mean, 193 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there still can't 194 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: find baby formula. We ran out of toilet paper a 195 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. There are lots of products that 196 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 1: are not stocked on our shelves like they should be. 197 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: Anybody who went into a grocery store during COVID remembers 198 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: that feeling, that sick feeling in your stomach, where you 199 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: looked around and virtually everything was stripped clean on the 200 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: grocery shelves. Maybe that'll happen again. I hope it doesn't, 201 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: But if it does, wouldn't you like to have security 202 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: inside of your own home.

We didn't 217 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: talk a lot, hardly at all. I think about the 218 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: Michigan State shooting that happened and as usual, try not 219 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: to name any mass shooters on this program unless they're 220 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: out and people are trying to capture them, and we're 221 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: trying to help with that because by and large, one 222 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: of the top storylines is mass shooters do it for attention. 223 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: But I do think this is very important and worth hitting, 224 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: and one of our writers at OutKick, Bobby Barak, has 225 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: this story up right now. The reason why the Michigan 226 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: A shooter was able to kill three people and I 227 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: believe wound five on that campus was because the prosecutor 228 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: in that county where Michigan State is located, Carol Seaman 229 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: and it might be Simon. I'm not sure exactly how 230 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: to pronounce it. Si E. M o N made it 231 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: her official policy to drop mandatory prison sentences for felony 232 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: firearm charges. And this is according to the Washington Free 233 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: Beacon reporting. She said that because of race equity, she 234 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: was not going to prosecute these felonies the same way 235 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: that she should have. This guy was facing up to 236 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: five years in prison. She said it was important for 237 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: to put and put in place dramatic changes due to 238 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: racial inequity, and this shooter was charged. The guy who 239 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: killed all these people at Michigan State was charged in 240 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: June of twenty nineteen with illegally carrying a concealed handgun 241 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: without a permit. The charges were dismissed. Instead of facing 242 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: up to five years in prison for the felony charge, 243 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: which would have still had him in prison, he was 244 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: given one year probation. So again, this is a George 245 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: Soros prosecutor. And what I just want to point out 246 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: again and again and again is just about every single 247 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: person who is charged with a high level felony offense 248 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: in this country today has previously had issues with police 249 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: and been charged with crimes that were not prosecuted to 250 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: the full extent of the law. Oftentimes that's because there's 251 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,239 Speaker 1: a concern that there is some sort of racial bias 252 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: in fully implementing our criminal justice system, because many of 253 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: the charged and convicted are black. But for everybody out 254 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: there who screams gun control or tries to turn a 255 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: mass shooting into a political related issue, as it pertains 256 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: to guns being legal in this country, almost every single time, 257 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: if the law had been adequately implemented, and if the 258 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: shooters had faced the full measure of justice, they would 259 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: have never been out on the streets to actually do 260 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: any harm to anyone at all. I just think that 261 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: is so incredibly important to put out into the universe. 262 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: Soft on crime policies are a luxury of low crime environments. 263 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: We are certainly not in a low crime environment. It's 264 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: way past time to ensure that prosecutors prosecute criminals to 265 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: the full extent of the law. Looking for new ways 266 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: to say money right now, how about an easy one. 267 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: It's in the palm of your hand. You can switch 268 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: your cell phone service to Pure Talk, say fifty or 269 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: sixty dollars a month or more.

And I 319 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: am proud to say that I never got the COVID shot. 320 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: I'm proud that my kids have never gotten the COD shot. 321 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: I am proud in general for all of you out 322 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: there that looked at the data and said, hey, I've 323 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: had COVID. I got through it fine. You analyzed risk factors, 324 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: you made determinations, because the COVID shot is an abject failure, 325 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: and it's important to recognize as much. But what still 326 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: hasn't happened, and this has me fired up in a 327 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: big way. What still hasn't happened is there have been 328 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: virtually no consequences for everyone out there in the Democrat 329 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: Party that was one hundred percent wrong about all of this. 330 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: They told you to stand with your back facing the 331 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: other direction when you were on an elevator. They told 332 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: you that your kids couldn't play on a playground outside. 333 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: They told you to sit in a circle in a park. 334 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: They told you that you couldn't paddleboard, that you couldn't 335 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: go to the beach, that you couldn't go on a hike, 336 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: that you couldn't go to the gym, that your kids 337 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: had to wear masks for years, and that was when 338 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: they were finally allowed to go back to school. All 339 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: of that was wrong. And if democracy means anything, it 340 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: should mean when you're wrong, that you bear the consequences 341 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: for your wrongness. That is, when you make poor decisions, 342 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,239 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to continue to make decisions on 343 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: behalf of all of us. Yet by and large, there 344 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: have been very few consequences. There also haven't been very 345 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: many consequences for the media that aided big business, that 346 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: aided the Democrat Party in censoring the truth and in 347 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: trying to terrify everyone out there such that. Unfortunately, I 348 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: saw a tweet from Buck who's sitting at LAX. I 349 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: believe right now there are still a lot of people, 350 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: far too many in fact, that are still wearing masks. 351 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: I was out over the weekend. I was in a bar. 352 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: One of the women sitting at the table behind me 353 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: was in a bar. This was an underground bar, great 354 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: place pushing Daisies to Keebla bar in Nashville that I 355 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: was out at on Saturday. There's a woman sitting there 356 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: wearing a mask in an underground bar, and she's drinking, 357 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 1: and she's pulling her mask up and down as she drinks, 358 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, what in the world is 359 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: going on that this is still occurring, that there are 360 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: still people out there wearing masks, and by the way, 361 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: in bars. So you're fine being out in a bar 362 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: consuming alcohol, but you are raising and lowering your mask 363 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: in between your cloth worthless mask in between drinks and 364 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: a crowded bar, like many people's brains are ok. And 365 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: Bill Maher, who has been right on a lot of this, 366 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: confronted one of the MSNBC proponents of lockdowns and masking 367 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: and the COVID shots and delivered this sterling harangue. Listen. 368 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: They did a giant study, something like sixty five countries, 369 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: many many different studies. They looked at them all natural 370 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: immunity as good or better than the vaccine, something I've 371 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: been saying since the beginning, and I get called an 372 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: anti vaccher. That's not an anti vaxer. This is the 373 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: kind of thing. I'd be curious as to how much 374 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: play this story gets because I remember reading that they 375 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: did a study of Republicans versus Democrats. The question was 376 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: what percentage this is like a year and a half ago, 377 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: what percentage of people who get COVID require hospitalization. The 378 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: answer is less than one percent. Almost half of Democrats 379 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: thought it was over fifty percent. And I think that's 380 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: so important because I've mentioned this before. But my wife 381 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: is finishing law school right now. We met in law 382 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: school Vanderbilt University back in the day. She's gone back 383 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: to finish her degree now and kids were required to 384 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: wear masks in law school for much of the time 385 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: that she has been in school there, and she would 386 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: come home, I mean, twenty years after we were first 387 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: in law school. I'm excited for her. She's going to 388 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: graduate in May. We'll have two lawyers in the household, 389 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: which is sometimes a disaster, but we'll see how that 390 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: officially goes. But she's had conversations with some of these kids. 391 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about twenty twenty six year old 392 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: kids at the absolute apex of their health, and many 393 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: of them believed these are future lawyers, some of the 394 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: smartest kids in the country. Many of them believed that 395 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: if they got COVID, they would be hospitalized, and they 396 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: were terrified at the idea that they might get COVID. 397 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: And you can laugh and roll your eyes, as many 398 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: of us have been doing for years over this thought. 399 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: But I think it's so important for us to sit 400 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: around and think about this. How did we reach a 401 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: place where many members of the left wing media convinced 402 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: their most stalwart supporters that if they got COVID they 403 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: were going to go to the hospital and there was 404 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: a good chance they were going to die. And those 405 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: people bought into that fear to such an extent. You know, 406 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:46,959 Speaker 1: we had David's wide on the most intelligent universities, meaning 407 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: the kids that are posting the highest SAT and ACC 408 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: scores are the most draconian when it comes to requiring 409 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: boosters for COVID when these kids have literally zero, literally 410 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: zero risk from COVID. And how did we get to 411 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: this place where it has become a huge endorsement on 412 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: the left wing in this country to be terrified all 413 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: the time of COVID. How did wearing a mask become 414 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: a signifier that you are super left wing? And how 415 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: have we not allowed that to become a huge part 416 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: of whatever message people are putting out into the country, 417 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: Because it is the very definition of anti science to 418 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: be as was the case Saturday in downtown Nashville, sitting 419 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: in a bar, drinking alcohol and raising and lowering your 420 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: mask because you're trying to send a message about how 421 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: seriously you take COVID. How is it Because Bill Mahr's right, 422 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: The data reflected massive percentages of left wing voters believed 423 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: that if they got COVID they were going to go 424 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: to the hospital and there was a good chance they 425 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: were going to die. When the reality, which has been 426 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: clear for years now, everybody was going to get COVID 427 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: and most of us were going to be completely fine, 428 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: basically never know we had it. How are we still 429 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: dealing in this reality? And how have there been no 430 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: consequences for people who spread that falsehood about COVID. How 431 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: is no one in the Democrat Party really lost his 432 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: or her job because of how they responded to COVID? 433 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: Is it really the case that things are so tribal 434 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: and partisan that the truth of the matter doesn't exist anymore. 435 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: It's just I'm on this tribe. Facts don't matter at all, 436 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: Evidence doesn't matter at all, science doesn't matter at all. 437 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: Give me my mask. I am all in on the 438 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: COVID cosmetic theater. The mask is just a metaphor for 439 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: how little you are willing to consider evidence and adjust 440 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: your behavior. As we go to break here, I just 441 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: want all of you out there to think about this. 442 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: It is not a sign of adulthood to say I 443 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: believe this and no matter what happens, I'm not changing 444 00:29:52,120 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: my opinion. That's childlike thinking. Every single day, I am 445 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: willing to analyze an excess and consider the fact that 446 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: I might be wrong on something because facts continue to 447 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: evolve and we learn more. Buck and Eye got everything 448 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: on COVID right one hundred percent since we started talking 449 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: to you in June on this program of twenty twenty one. 450 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: That's hard to do, and as our critics have well established, 451 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: we are not doctors, we are not scientists, but we 452 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: do have the ability to read data, analyze it, and 453 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: allow it to help govern the decisions that we make 454 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: in life. Question for you as we go to the 455 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: final break here, why have so few Americans lost that ability? 456 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: Why do so few Americans have that ability? What have 457 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: we lost in COVID where people who are wrong on 458 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: everything still cling to the idea that they were correct. 459 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: Is it simply that all these people, many of whom 460 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: are highly educated, refuse to admit that the red state rooms, 461 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: the people they look down on, were actually right about 462 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: everything and they were wrong, and so they're going to 463 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: stay committed to their masks no matter what. And if 464 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: that's true, what does it say about who's actually persuadable 465 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: when it comes to intelligence and to our democracy as 466 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: a whole. Where you want to talk about threats to democracy, Literally, 467 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 1: the most important threat to democracy in my mind is this. 468 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: If you're wrong on everything, why should you get to 469 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: stay in power. There are a lot of Democrats wrong 470 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: on everything as it related to COVID That didn't bear 471 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: a single consequence. Randy Weingarten didn't lose her job. She 472 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: kept schools shut down in many places for two years. 473 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: Biggest I believe failure in this country's history in my 474 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: life was shutting down schools because the people who bore 475 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: the brunt of that issue were overwhelmingly poor and didn't 476 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: have substantial resources in their own homes. Nothing happened to her, 477 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: She got rewarded, She makes more money. The guy who 478 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: was Joe Biden's COVIDS are is now his chief of staff. 479 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: The guy who tried to get eighty four million of 480 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: you fired if you didn't get the COVID shot got promoted. 481 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: Washington Post says democracy dies in darkness. I would argue 482 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: that democracy is dying when there are no consequences for 483 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: getting things wrong. I'm an old sports guy, but if 484 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: you lose every game, you don't get to keep your job. 485 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: How are we tougher on football coaches than Democrat politicians 486 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: when it comes to COVID. You know all about how 487 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: these ridiculous woke activists have seized control of America's schools. 488 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: Now a group of investment firms that Americans in trust 489 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: with our pensions and retirements, are playing woke politics with 490 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: your money without our knowledge or consent. A few large 491 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: investment firms names you know, control trillions of dollars of 492 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: your money, and they're using those dollars to advance their 493 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: woke ideology through a progressive social scoring program called ESG. 494 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: They claim it promotes corporate responsibility.

Buck Sex will be back with me tomorrow, 511 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: returning from his honeymoon and speaking of consequences, Democrats are 512 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: I was reading in Politico over the weekend, really really 513 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 1: nervous about Joe Biden's campaign. He's supposed to announce around 514 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: April that he's going to be running in twenty twenty four, 515 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: but they're particularly concerned about the fact that Kamala Harris 516 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: remains his vice president. And as unpopular as Joe Biden is, 517 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: Kamala is even more unpopular, and she was asked directly 518 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: about this over the weekend in an interview. Here's what 519 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: she said. Dozens of Democratic leaders are saying that they 520 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: not only don't think that he's the strongest candidate considering 521 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,439 Speaker 1: the larger field that could be possible given his age 522 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: and other defects, but they don't think that you're the 523 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: right person to be on the ticket. Why do you 524 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: think that. I think that it is very important to 525 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 1: focus on the needs of the American people and not 526 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: political chatter out of Washington, DC. And you obviously ran 527 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: for president in twenty twenty You want to be president? 528 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: Do you still want to be president someday? Joe Biden 529 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: has said he intends to run for reelection as president, 530 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 1: and I intend to run with him as vice president 531 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: of the United States. It's going to be fascinating to 532 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: watch regardless of what happens to Joe Biden in twenty 533 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: twenty four. And I think he's going to end up 534 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,400 Speaker 1: getting smoked. I really do, because they're going to be 535 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: unable to hide him and eighty two year old Joe 536 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: Biden on the campaign trail is going to be a mess. Now, 537 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: you have to keep in mind this same party elected 538 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: John Fetterman So the same group that I was just 539 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: talking about that's walking around wearing their masks, their looney 540 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: been members. They would vote for Joe Biden if he 541 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: were legitimately unable to speak, because that's basically what they 542 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: did for John Fetterman. So California is going to be 543 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: all in for Biden. New York going to be all 544 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: in for Biden. But it's going to be fascinating after 545 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden loses in twenty four. How in the world 546 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: Democrats are going to avoid Kamala as their leading contender 547 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: in twenty eight because by every metric of the Democrat 548 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: Party's identity politics mantra, it will be racist in sexist 549 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,399 Speaker 1: for Kamala not to be their pick. And yet they 550 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: all know that Kamala Harris would get eviscerated in a campaign. 551 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: Because that's the real story here of Biden running in 552 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: twenty four. It's not just that he's the incumbent. He 553 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: has all the aspects of incumbency that our advantages. It's 554 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: that if she ran, it wouldn't even matter who Republicans 555 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 1: were nominating. Kamala Harris would get slaughtered and they know it. 556 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 1: So Joe Biden's best political asset is actually ironically the 557 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: fact that Kamala Harris is less popular than he is 558 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 1: and barring a having to check himself into the hospital 559 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: because he had a serious health condition like happened with 560 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: John Fetterman, already Democrats are going to try the weekend 561 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,200 Speaker 1: that Bernie's two political campaign with Joe Biden and can 562 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: you blame him? Weekend ded Bernie's was a hit. Biden 563 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: hell hung out in his Delaware basement. He did virtually nothing, 564 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: and his goal, Joe Biden's goal, make no mistake about this, 565 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 1: They're very clear, is basically not even to argue that 566 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: he's done a good job. It's just to argue that 567 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is hitler. That is Joe Biden's campaign all 568 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: over again coming in twenty twenty four, and Kamala Harris 569 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: is so bad that Democrats are going to have to 570 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: do it weekend at Bernie's two style buck back with 571 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: me tomorrow, thanks for hanging
