We are malaising through another hour of 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for being 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: here with us, and if you want to call in 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: eight one hundred two two two eight two back of 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: this hour takes more your calls want to hear from 7 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: all of you across this great country of ours. A 8 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: lot of talk this week about elections, about voter protections, 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: voter ID and of course some crazy stuff said by 10 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 1: Joe Biden in that speech. If you aren't in favor 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: of their voting rights, that's the generic term that they 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: use for the federal government gets to be in charge 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: of all elections of all states and destroy federalism in 14 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: the process. If you're not in favor of it, you're 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: on the side of the President of the Confederacy for 16 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: an example, I mean, really ugly stuff from Joe Biden's side. 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: Not surprising. We've got someone with us now who has 18 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: looked very closely at the realities of election integrity, both 19 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty context and going forward. Molly Hemingway, 20 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: Senior editor at The Federalist, with us Now also Fox 21 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: News contributor. Her book is Rigged How the media, big tech, 22 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: and the Democrats seized our elections. Molly, great to have you, 23 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: It's great to be here with you. So let's start 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: with this one. When you're seeing the Democrats get this 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: whole mobilization going on voting rights, acting like there's one 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: never fraud and two endless numbers of people who are 27 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: somehow being prevented from voting, but we never actually meet 28 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: any of them. What do you want people to know? 29 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: What's the truth of the election fight these days? Well? 30 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: I think, first off, it shouldn't be termed. It shouldn't 31 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: be said in terms of voting rights. Nobody credible thinks 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: that there's a problem with voting rights in a country 33 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: where more people voted in the last election than any 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: in history by a significant margin. The question is really 35 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: about who controls elections and how secure those elections are. 36 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: Democrats have spent decades really smartly strategizing how to loosen 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: security of elections and open up opportunities for shenanigans, shall 38 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: we say, And they have put a lot of money 39 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: and effort into that, and now they want to federalize that. 40 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: They think that what they did in twenty twenty to 41 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: destabilize the elections worked out well for them, and they'd 42 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: like to nationalize that and make Nancy Pelosi. The elections 43 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: are of the entire country, so it's really important in 44 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: this country that both winners and losers, and of course 45 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: that changes over time who those people are, that they 46 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: both can trust elections. It's actually the entire republic rests 47 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: on that. So we need to always make sure that 48 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: our elections are secure and that people can trust them. Molly, 49 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: the whole story here is a mess because it feels 50 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: like Biden somehow thought his Tuesday speech was going to 51 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: change the overall calculus associated with voting rights. Instead, he 52 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: gets kneecapped by his own senators, Cinema and Mansion saying hey, yeah, 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: we're not going to change things associated with the filibuster. 54 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: But in a larger context, this whole story seems very 55 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: strategically failed to me by the Democrats, because if you 56 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: look at recent Supreme Court jurisprudence as it pertains to 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: states having the right to set laws as it pertains 58 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: to their elections, there's no way, in my opinion, that 59 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: these Democrat bills would be constitutional in any way at 60 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: all either. So this has always felt to me like 61 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: somebody sort of biking full speed into a brick wall 62 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: and pretending the brick wall isn't there. What am I 63 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: missing about this? Yeah? I think what you're missing is 64 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: that the whole idea is a long con, a long game. 65 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: They might not succeed right now, but what they're trying 66 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: to do is move the window to get people to 67 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: think differently about election security and to make this a 68 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: winning issue in the next several years. And this is 69 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: another thing I think Democrats are pretty good at. They 70 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: say something that's very extreme, that has no chance of 71 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: winning and might even cause them electoral problems in the 72 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: short run, say limitations on gun rights, but they get 73 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: over time more and more people adopting their perspective, and 74 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: that gives them the weight they need to push to 75 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: push for what they really want. I mean, everything they 76 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: did in twenty twenty they claimed was for COVID relief, 77 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: it actually have been stuff they've been working on four decades. 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Decreasing the ability to determine whether a ballot actually comes 79 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: from someone it claims to come from was something they've 80 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: been working on for a long time. It wasn't just 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: something they came up with during COVID expanding voting day 82 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: into voting season, which incidentally is something the country used 83 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: to have and moved away from precisely because we did 84 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: see too much fraud when you expanded voting day beyond 85 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: a single day into you know, you have different states 86 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: voting on different days for presidential elections, and it did 87 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: increase the chance of fraud. And so these things, these 88 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: things have been flow But the Democrats are very good, 89 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: I think about thinking long term and not just about 90 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: the win that they can get right now, because I 91 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: don't think they're going to get it right now, but 92 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: they're thinking next year and beyond. We're speaking of Molly Hemingway, 93 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: author of Rigged, How the media, big Tech, and the 94 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: Democrats seized our elections, And to that end, Molly talk 95 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: to us about the role because you know big tech. 96 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: We're often having these discussions about one, the way that 97 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: the censorship and the essentially the collusion with not just 98 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party generally, but with the White House specifically 99 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: to suppress conservative and just alternative points of view is 100 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: out in the open. They're demanding more of it. They're 101 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: not pretending not to do it. Which was the case 102 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: even let's say five or six years ago. How did 103 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: big tech change in your mind the course of the 104 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election, and what can we do about it. 105 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: It's funny because we talk about election laws, which were 106 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: very important and there were massive problems with it, but 107 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: it pales in comparison to how much big tech controlled 108 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: the outcome of the election. You might remember that when 109 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: Democrats spent four years claiming that the twenty sixteen election 110 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: was stolen, that they didn't really have a case, and 111 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: like they're case was that it was stolen because Russians 112 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: had bought a couple like one hundred thousand dollars in 113 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: Facebook ads, some of them for Hillary Clinton, some of 114 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: them for Donald Trump. That was enough to have the 115 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: country be hysterical. We'll compare that with what happened in 116 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. For four years, I think big tech really 117 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: worried that they had helped Trump win by allowing him 118 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: to go around the media and speak directly to people. 119 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: So they started changing algorithms. They started de platforming the 120 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: most effective conservative voices, They increased the reach of leftist voices. 121 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: They engaged in so much election rigging it's unbelievable. I mean, 122 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: just by way of it's like to take one small example, 123 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump would say that mail in ballots were 124 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: susceptible to fraud, something that everybody agreed with prior to 125 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, including the country of France, that Jimmy Carter 126 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: election commissioned the New York Times, Washington Post, he would 127 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: be censored for saying that. And when Joe Biden said 128 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: that there was like a conspiracy with the Post Office 129 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: to control the out come of the election, none of 130 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: those tweets were censored. None of that rhetoric from anyone 131 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: on the left was censored. And it was, you know, 132 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: a crazy conspiracy theory that affects elections, and most dramatically, also, 133 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: you think about how they conspired with Democrats and other 134 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: people in the media to suppress the single most important 135 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: story of the twenty twenty election, which was information about 136 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: the corruption of the Biden family business. There is no 137 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: question that American voters had a right to know about 138 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: the Biden family business, how it worked, who all was 139 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: involved in foreign entities and the big tech companies. You know, 140 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: brutally suppressed that story. And you know, again go back 141 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: to that Russia story. You know, one hundred thousand dollars 142 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: in Facebook ads is a sort of horrible threat to democracy. 143 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: But then you look at what they did in twenty 144 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: twenty and it's just as so much more massive. Molly, 145 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: as you were about to come on, and we appreciate 146 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: you coming on. Right before the show started, I was 147 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: looking at my Twitter trending tab section and I'm not 148 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: sure if you had a chance to look at this 149 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: thread yet, but I shared a couple of days ago, 150 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,119 Speaker 1: and we played on this show the Fiser CEO saying 151 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: the first couple of shots of his vaccine had limited, 152 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: if any protection against the new omicron variant of COVID, 153 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: and he said that in an interview it was with 154 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: Yahoo News. It was distributed. Twitter took it down and 155 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: said it was a copyright violation. I then put it 156 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: back up. Some other user had grabbed it. They didn't 157 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: take that down. But then they brought in we're going 158 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: to talk about this a little bit here on the show. 159 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: In a moment, they brought in a fact checker Reuters, 160 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: and Reuters said that the Fiser CEO is be taken out, 161 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: being taken out of context. If you look at what 162 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 1: they're doing right now. It is an unbelievable height of disinformation. 163 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: Reuter's chairman, by the way, sits on the board at Fiser. 164 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: They are the official fact checker for Twitter. This is 165 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: effectively a paid advertisement for Twitter masquerading as a factual 166 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: fact check. This kind of thing happens all the time. 167 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: How do we fix it. I'm not entirely sure how 168 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: to fix it, but it is a massive issue. It 169 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: feels soviet what they're doing. Yes, they are limiting what 170 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: people can say about things that we all see and 171 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: that we all witness. They're saying, there's one approved interpretation 172 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: of events. I mean, it is true that people sometimes 173 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: misinterpret things or take things out of context. The cure 174 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: for that is people saying that you can say it 175 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: in response, no, actually, this is what they meant to say, 176 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: or here's how that should be read, and people debate. 177 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: And that's what happens in a free society. In an 178 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: authoritarian regime like the one we have now, with big 179 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: tech colluding with you know, at the request of Joe Biden. 180 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: He just yesterday said, yes, I ask you, my allies 181 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: in big tech, please suppress information. If I say it's disinformation, 182 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not a direct quote, but that's what 183 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: he was saying. He decides what disinformation and misinformation is, 184 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: and then and then you get suppressed based on what 185 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: his views are. With everybody in big tech being almost 186 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: everybody in big tech being closely aligned with the Democrat Party, 187 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: this is a this is an attack on some of 188 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: our most foundational values as a country, that we have 189 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: the right to pursue truth and that we can do 190 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: that by obtaining information and debating the meaning of that information. 191 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: It is so Unamerican, and there's so much money in this. 192 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: As you note, people are paying to do this suppression 193 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: of information. And it's not just American companies, it's China 194 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: is heavily involved in all of this. It works for 195 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: them to control the people and control the flow of information, 196 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: but it's sort of not working because the one thing 197 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: you know is that if something is fact checked, that's 198 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: a good chance that actually it's true. Molly's the author 199 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: of Rigged How the media, big Tech, and the Democrats 200 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: seized our elections. I'm actually about to buy my copy 201 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: in real times. I'm talking to you right now online, Molly. 202 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: Before I let you go, though, When people as I'm 203 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: sure they do all the time come up to you 204 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: and say that there was fraud in the twenty twenty election. 205 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: What do you say to them, Well, I think that 206 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: people need to expand their understanding of what happened in 207 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty to be much, much, much bigger than fraud. 208 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: And what I talk about in the book is how 209 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: there were changes to hundreds of election laws to make 210 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: it difficult to even detect fraud, to make it so 211 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: that you couldn't have confidence and the results that you 212 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: wouldn't know if a ballot was legit. That Mark Zuckerberg 213 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: another way that big tech medals spent four hundred and 214 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: nineteen million dollars to take over government election offices and 215 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: flood it with left wing activists so that they could 216 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: run the Democratic get out the vote operation in blue 217 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: areas of swing states. It was complicated, It was a conspiracy. Actually, 218 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: even Time magazine admits it was a conspiracy which they 219 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: described as a cabal of powerful people in all these 220 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: different establishment institutions to control the outcome of the election. 221 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: So I think, don't limit yourself to just fraud. It's 222 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: much bigger, much much more coordinated and widespread, and much 223 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: more effective in controlling the outcome of the election. Molly, 224 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: last question for you, were you surprised that Brett Havanaugh. 225 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: You wrote a great book about Brett Kavanaugh that he 226 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 1: flipped his vote for the to allow the healthcare mandate. 227 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: And that's kind of a two part question. Do you, 228 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: based on your connections to the Supreme Court, think that 229 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: Stephen Bryer is going to step down as Democrats are 230 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: trying to persuade him to do by the end of 231 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: this term. So there's a lot there, but um yay, 232 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: I would just say it never works well to pressure 233 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: people to pressure these justices to resign. It usually means 234 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: that that's how they will stay there forever. I wrote 235 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: in The Justice on Trial with Carrie Saborino about how 236 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: the Trump administration was able to encourage Anthony Kennedy to 237 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: feel comfortable stepping down, which enabled them to nominate Brett Kavanaugh, 238 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: And then we also detail why he was chosen for 239 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: that position, and it really had a lot to do 240 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: with how narrow Republicans held the Senate and how they 241 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: couldn't really put someone much more strong than he was. 242 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: And you know, we tell that whole story. So I'm 243 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: sad not completely surprised, but there were very particular circumstances 244 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: for why he was chosen. Molly having or everybody check 245 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: out rigged her book.

So I just bought it 278 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: on Amazon. Yep, yeah, fifteen bucks. Speaking of big tech. 279 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: Now we're giving big tech book direction independently owned bookstore. 280 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter which direction we go, they still get us. Uh, 281 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: speaking of it doesn't matter what direction you go. This. 282 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: I saw this story and I couldn't believe it. Buck, 283 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: masks make you more attractive. This is what we were 284 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: we were texting it. First of all, I don't know, 285 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start off here by blaming any woman who is, like, 286 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: you know what, the guy that I want to spend 287 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: the rest of my life with, the guy that I 288 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: want to date. The thing that initially attracted me to 289 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: him was the way he was wearing his mask. I 290 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: just don't have kids because I don't want your gens 291 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: to propagate any further. I think you have failed. This 292 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: is an example of survival of the fittest. We can't 293 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: have people who are making choices based on mask wearing 294 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: going ahead and continuing to propagate the species. But Buck, 295 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: this is evidently a thing that they're trying to share. 296 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I know people who have had and this 297 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: is not like I have a friend.

I know someone who said that she 302 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: was out with a with a with a vaccine. Well, 303 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: let's just say she was unvaxed at dinner with someone 304 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: who was vaxed and that hadn't been explained beforehand. Dinner 305 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: over dinner over one of the girls that now works 306 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: at OutKick was dating a guy and she found out 307 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: he found out that she worked at OutKick and she 308 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: was like, oh, you're you're a He was like, you're 309 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: a Clay Travis guy.

Is Russia going in question? A lot of 360 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 1: people look it at Right now, we're switching gears for 361 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: a second here in the clam Buck Show, just for 362 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: a few minutes. To international affairs and the possibility of 363 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: war breaking out. Here's the headline on Daily Mail right now. 364 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: Putin will stage false flag attack on his own troops 365 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 1: as an excuse to invade Ukraine. US intelligence warrens. Russia's 366 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: sabotage plan revealed as Moscow sends more troops to the border, 367 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: and Kiev or Kiev as some say it is hit 368 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: with a massive cyber attack. So we have over one 369 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: hundred thousand troops built up already on the border, Russian 370 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: troops on the border with Ukraine. It does seem as 371 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: though there's a very real possibility here, an imminent one, 372 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: of a Russian incursion. And this will obviously create a 373 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: whole lot of well first national security challenges for the 374 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: Ukrainians because they're gonna have to fight against a very 375 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: capable and very serious Russian military. But beyond that, the 376 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: Biden regime, which is already belly flopping it seems every 377 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: day in the pool, so to speak, is going to 378 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: be in a position where they're supposed to lead some 379 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of international diplomatic consortium to hold back Putin. There's 380 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: so much here. I think it's fascinaming clay for one thing. 381 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: You know, when the Russians took a big chunk off 382 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: of Crimea, or rather of Ukraine in Crimea by seizing 383 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: it essentially through a what people view as a phony 384 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: referendum or a fraudulent one. You know, how they when 385 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: they seized Eastern Ukraine. It was when Obama was president. 386 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is this to me is the most 387 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: interesting part about the Russian collusion disaster on many different levels. 388 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: But Russia actually feared doing things while Donald Trump was 389 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: president in a way that they have not when Barack 390 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: Obama or Joe Biden have been in office. And so 391 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: you're the international affairs an expert here, So how do 392 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: you play this out? So if if this is going 393 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: to happen, if Ukraine is going to be invaded by Russia, 394 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: let's presume that they do it the United States, because 395 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: this is what they're doing in Russia right now. Right 396 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: they are game planning, strategizing, game theorizing what the United 397 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: States response and what the larger international community response is 398 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 1: going to be. So if Ukraine has invaded, Joe Biden's 399 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: first response is what and what ultimately is he able 400 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: to do to stop this or in any way significantly 401 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: censure this in any way. There's very little that they'll 402 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: be able to do to either prevent it at this 403 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: point if the Kremlin, if Putin, Putin and the Kremlin 404 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: are one and the same, right, he's running that country 405 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: as an actual dictator and authoritary, you know, you heard 406 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: this or four years under Trump. Yeah, Trump was such 407 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: a dictator that anytime I'm some judge from the Ninth 408 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: Circuit would be like you can't do that, he was like, 409 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: all right, I'll see you in court. That's that's not 410 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: how dictators work. We all know that, right. But Putin 411 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: is a is a dictator, and so he'll do whatever 412 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,439 Speaker 1: he wants if he views it in Russia's interests, national 413 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: security interests to do this. Then there's very little that 414 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: the US, and quite honestly, there's very little any US 415 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: president could do right now. If if you're really close 416 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: to that decision point, it's unlikely there'd be much that 417 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: would be done to sway them because nobody, and this 418 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: is important to say from the outset, nobody believes that 419 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: the US should put troops in Ukraine to fight on 420 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: behalf of this country. And if you're wondering how clear 421 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: that is, the Russian incursion that we're preparing for here 422 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: would be an escalation, really clay of a war that's 423 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: already been going on for about about five six years now, 424 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: maybe even longer than that. This goes all the way 425 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: back to the Obama years, when the Dawn Boss region 426 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: of each in Ukraine was essentially a pseudo separatist region. 427 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: It was really Russian paramilitaries out of uniform who were saying, 428 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: we are now forming the independent, you know, Republic of 429 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: Dunbass or whatever it was. And so that this has 430 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: been going on for a while. You've had Ukrainian soldiers 431 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: in trench, actual trenches, trench warfare on the eastern on 432 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: the eastern part of the country where dun Boss is 433 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: squaring off against these these Russian back where in many 434 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: cases actually just Russian separatists who have come across the border. 435 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: So this is a this is going to be a 436 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: very serious escalation of that conflict. But that's been going 437 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: on already for years. And to your point about the 438 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: question about what will the Biden administration do, putin knows 439 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: what the latte drinkers in Brussels and the rest of 440 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 1: the EU will do in response to this, and that's 441 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: very very or the Hague really that's very very little. 442 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: They'll have conversations about it, they'll be sanctions, but Russia 443 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: is really too big to sanction in a meaningful way. 444 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: The guys in charge there are so rich. How are 445 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: you going to sanction them? As long as they're selling 446 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: oil and natural gas to countries like Germany in on 447 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: a huge scale, sanctions aren't going to cripple this country. 448 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: So that's why I think you're going to see a 449 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: lot of ineffective talk. You're going to see some countries 450 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: on the Russian periphery, notably the actual NATO countries that 451 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: we have, right Ukraine is not a NATO country saying hey, 452 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: you better put more stops. Yeah yeah, and so we 453 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: need more resources, we want us presence or we want 454 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: additional help for our military there. But this is gonna 455 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a conflict I think could get 456 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: could get really ugly very fast. And now that that's 457 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: the general American I would say response. Right now, we 458 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: got out of Afghanistan after the twenty year basically disaster, 459 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: and we left and is dispirited and pathetic of a 460 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: way as was possible. So if Russia invade Ukraine and 461 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,719 Speaker 1: we issue some sort of diplomatic response in conjunction with 462 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: other Western democracies, what's a worst case scenario here for 463 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: the United States? If you're projecting out how things could 464 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: go awry in a way, that becomes a major negative 465 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: because Frankly, most people in the United States don't know 466 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: anything about Ukraine. We need to get your buddy on 467 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: who was so good from Ukraine? Oh yeah, who's been 468 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: living there? Living there for you were gonna have him back? 469 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: For sure. He's in Ukraine still. He's been covering this 470 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: on the front lines. He was fantastic and trying to 471 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: contextualize why it mattered. But from your perspective, what's the 472 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: worst case scenario here? Worst case scenario would be that 473 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: there's some some consensus that forms in the national security 474 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: and international relations circles of our of the current the 475 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: Biden regime government, that maybe we do need to put 476 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: some US troops. The worst case scenario as you have 477 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: Americans shooting at Russians in any capacity in Ukraine or 478 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: over at least this is in my opinion, my estimation, 479 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: that's the worst case. I don't think that's going to happen. 480 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: I think that's, you know, less than a five percent 481 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: chance of actually occurring, very very very remote. But there 482 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: is going to be because for all the focus on Ukraine, 483 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: there are other places where there could be this playbook 484 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: run again. This happened in South South Ostia and Georgia, 485 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: in Georgia and Abkhazia, these breakaway regions again that they're 486 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: Russian backed. So what they do is they go and 487 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: they find areas of Russian speakers on the Russian periphery 488 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: and they foment essentially some kind of revolt or rebellion. 489 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: Then the Russians deploy military force and say, we're protecting 490 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: our own this is a humanitarian or even peacekeeping mission. 491 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: And they call this Maskarovka, which is the Russian warfare 492 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: by deception, and they're very good at cyber they're very 493 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: good at picking people off and doing this, and they're 494 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: trying to expand. The Russians are trying to expand their 495 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: defensible perimeter against the threat of NATO, which they still 496 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: view very much Clay as a threat. We just say, oh, 497 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: NATO's a thing. They say, Nada was a huge military 498 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: alliance made to stop us, and we don't want them 499 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: on our border. At least this is what this is 500 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: Putin's vision and version of events. So I think it's 501 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: very very likely that you will see a major incursion there. 502 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: And now you're talking about you know, two developed countries 503 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 1: with you know, advanced economies and technology going toe to toe. 504 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: The Ukrainians wouldn't be able to put up much of 505 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: a you know, battlefield tank for tank fight if you will. 506 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 1: But if there's some kind of enduring insurgency that could 507 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 1: actually happen, that's where I think you can see things 508 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: getting really ugly. And if you want to an approximation 509 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: of this, you can just go and see what it 510 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: was like back in Czechnia in the nineties when people 511 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: were like, oh my gosh, the Chechenia was turned into 512 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: a hell hole because of the fighting that was going 513 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: on there. So anyway, I don't have a lot of 514 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of happy talk to be had 515 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, no kidding, we need something a little 516 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: it's Friday, jeez buck. In the meantime, you can use 517 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two as a year to upgrade your every 518 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: Dave wardrobe. There's some happy talk that starts with throwing 519 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: away worn out gear you're still wearing every day, giving 520 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: yourself the upgrade you deserve, and lounge like a champ 521 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: with Tommy John. When you start the year wearing Tommy John, 522 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: you're that much more comfortable, so you do everything better. 523 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: Tommy John Men's underwear has breathable, lightweight, moisture waking fabric 524 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: four times the stretch of competing brands. Although they're seventeen 525 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: million pairs sold, Tommy John doesn't have customers.

Everybody appreciate you being here with us. 540 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: We have Glenn Beck coming in at the top of 541 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: the hour next so he'll be with us a two 542 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: o five Eastern on his book about the Great Reset, 543 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: and we're excited to talking about that, especially as you 544 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: see the Libs aren't changing their minds about all the 545 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: policies for COVID right all of a sudden. The control 546 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: that they've enjoyed is something they don't seem to want 547 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: to let go of, even though it would mean we 548 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 1: could all breathe more freely, stop worrying or being around 549 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: worried people less. And plus we have at the bottom 550 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: of the next hour, so that'll be two thirty Eastern 551 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: Rona McDaniel, the RNC chairman, talking to us about should 552 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: Republicans play the presidential debate game the way they have 553 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: in the past, where you have Lib activists from networks 554 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: like CNN and ABC and NBC getting to stack the 555 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: deck in favor of the Democrats in a variety of ways. 556 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: We'll get into all that in a second. Marv in 557 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: Southern Ontario, Canada has some thoughts. What's up, Marv, Hi, guys, 558 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: Shield High?

Well, 565 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,239 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to go to New York City right 566 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: now because oh my gosh, that's right. But that's right.

But otherwise, yeah, that would 570 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: be a lot of fun be a bubble boy. Anyway. 571 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm just calling in real quick because I have not 572 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: heard any media attention. A very close friend of mine 573 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: ended up getting a Fiser vax. Two days later, he's 574 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: sitting having breakfast with his wife and his left side 575 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: of his face goes numb. Um, his eye starts tearing, 576 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: his jaw drops like he's um, you know, just got 577 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: out of a dental chair. His wife says, you're having 578 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: a stroke. He said, I'm not having a stroke. Um. 579 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: He ended up going to er. A neurologist comes in 580 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: and says, you've got Bell's palsy. And he said, you've 581 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: got Bell's palsy is a side effect of fiser now 582 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: I have not heard this on the media, but if 583 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: you go online and you look up Bell's palsy, your 584 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: first five hits on an internet search are going to 585 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: be Fiser's side effects. Nobody's ever said it, thank you, 586 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: thank you for it. I haven't heard of that as 587 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: a side effect of the by the way, that's me. 588 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: That's me not disagreeing or agree. I don't know. I 589 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: haven't heard of that before as a side effect. Have 590 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: you heard of that before as a side effect for anybody. 591 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,959 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I am not that well informed 592 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: on overall side effects from the vaccine because I didn't 593 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: get the vaccine, so I didn't worry about your problem. 594 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: Effects might be yeah, but we know that the VAERS 595 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: database is overflowing with people who claim that they have 596 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: had negative side effects from the vaccine, and those are 597 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: supposed to be investigated and determined. I will say there 598 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: has been a lot of discussion, for instance, in teenage boys, 599 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: about the impact of myocarditis. That's one that I have 600 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 1: paid attention because I chose not to get My oldest 601 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: son is going to turn fourteen this month, and my 602 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: wife and I have made the decision not to get 603 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: him vaccinated. Certainly, I'm not getting my eleven year old 604 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: or my seven year old vaccinated. But I looked into 605 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: the risk for teenage boys in particular. He's not at 606 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: risk from COVID from the vaccine. So I looked at that, 607 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: and so I would encourage everybody to do their research. 608 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: I think the quote the caller's hitting at is a 609 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: lot of media don't want to write anything negative about 610 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: the vaccines at all. One thing that I will say 611 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: I have noticed, and I thought about this because I 612 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: flipped on I flipped on Fox this morning. Again. You know, 613 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: sometimes you'll see, and this is standard across all these channels, 614 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 1: you'll see an add for any kind of a pharmaceutical, right, 615 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: a pharmaceutical that deals with you know, arthritis, whatever it 616 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: may be. And you it's always the same thing. Right. 617 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: You have people kind of kind of like dancing on 618 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: a beach and then like riding horseback, and it's like, 619 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: what does this have to do with arthrite? I mean, 620 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: I guess you could maybe arthritis actually does. But some 621 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 1: of these drugs, you're like, uh, apparently everyone's just dancing 622 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: in fields of grain and there's like sunshine and then 623 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: they do the thing. It's like may cause you know, headache, nausea, 624 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: a dizziness, painful foot syndrome like leaky got said, you know, 625 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: goes with a hundred different things. That's our norm for 626 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: all kinds of pharmaceuticals. I mean, even if you look 627 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,719 Speaker 1: on a bottle of Thailan all you know, a non 628 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: steroidal anti inflammatory drug, they'll be the may cause stomach bleeding. Right, 629 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,919 Speaker 1: that's right, there could cause stomach bleeding. I've taken talent 630 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how many times in my life, never 631 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: had a problem. Interesting that with the vaccines, it's like, 632 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: shut up about any side effects. You know, there's something different, 633 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: there's something weird about that disparity. Oh and they have 634 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: no legal liability for them whatsoever, by the way, and 635 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: also just it's the very antithesis of media to be 636 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 1: carrying water, which is what the Biden administration is asking 637 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: constantly to protect the people in positions of power and 638 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: their stories and not be allowed to challenge them in 639 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: any way. And again, I think there's a big difference 640 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: between anecdote and data supports, right, and oftentimes what I 641 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: think the media gets most wrong is they use whatever 642 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: anecdotal story there is right, that twenty five year old 643 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: who supposedly was otherwise healthy got COVID and they died. 644 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: It ricochets throughout all of social media. Right, it's an outlier. 645 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean it can't happen. It means it's hyper unlikely, 646 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that it can't happen. Right. And 647 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: So I think there's a difference between using anecdote to 648 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: illustrate incident that is occurring very often an anecdote that 649 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: almost never occurs, that is used to try to foment 650 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: a particular narrative, and I think the media oftentimes fails 651 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: that test. Sylvia in Spokane, Washington, Hey, Sylvia, how you 652 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 1: doing great? Great? Hey? In December? I am Also in January, 653 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: I went down to Fort Worth, Texas and back again. 654 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: And I'm a redneck redneck, but I'm old and I'm 655 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: a little bit feeble. And I was only brave enough 656 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: to wear that mask as I came in this book, 657 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: Can said, which would have been the second time, and 658 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: I said, this mask is useless, as Biden. But I 659 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: did get one hug from a stewardess major airline. Other 660 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: people looked at me bit the air for aid to 661 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: say anything, well, Sylvia, Clay and I are sending atastic story.
