And I wanted to play this for you 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: because we were talking about just this crazy world where 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: suddenly CNN in the space of twelve hours yesterday said, yeah, 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: we've been wildly overcounting COVID deaths after we've been telling 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: you that for years. And also they do a four 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: or five thousand word expose on the Biden crime family 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: and basically acknowledge that the Hunter Biden laptop is real too. 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: So all these things that were supposedly feverish dreams of 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: the far right wing conspiracy theorists are suddenly being confirmed 18 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: as real. And meanwhile the New York Times, and I 19 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: think this is significant because the New York Times business 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: model is essentially to tell far left wing subscribers that 21 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: they are super smart and they're on the right side 22 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: of history. That is now their business model. They were saying, 23 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: this is these are crazy quotes here, that disinformation is 24 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: leading to the downfall of democracy. And this is like 25 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia. This is the New York Times publisher, 26 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: his family Sulzberger owns the Times. Listen, disinformation and the 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: broader set of misinformation, conspiracy, propaganda, clickbait, you know, the 28 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: broader mix of bad information that's corrupting the information ecosystem. 29 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: What it attacks is trust. And once you see a 30 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: trust decline, what you then see is societies start to fracture. 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: And so you see people trolong tribal lines, and you 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: know that immediately undermines pluralism. And you know, the undermining 33 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: and pluralism is probably the most dangerous thing that can 34 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: happen to a democracy. Terms like fake news and enemies 35 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: that the people have been popularized cyclically in society in 36 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: some of the most repressive and dangerous moments. You know, 37 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: Nazi Terminy, Stalinist Russia. Right, Can I remind everybody I 38 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: think this is important Clay. The term fake news was 39 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: initially used in an anti Trump fashion to mock the 40 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: Rubs who were believing these things that either Trump said 41 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: or it was, Oh, the Trump voter. Essentially, this is 42 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen. The Trump voter believes the fake news. 43 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: They believe the fake news that's on Facebook. They're the ones. 44 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, in actually one of his most most noteworthy 45 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: moments of jiu jitsu, turned that around and started calling 46 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: an end the fake news. But I think people forget it. 47 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: It's really important. They were trying to denigrate Trump voters, 48 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: and Trump turned it around and made it one of 49 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: the most powerful criticisms of the mainstream media. It really 50 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: got under their skin, it really bothered them. The story here, 51 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 1: I believe that's going to be told in fifty years, 52 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: in a hundred years, long after everybody listening today is gone. 53 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: Is I believe one of trump fear so gripping left 54 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: wing media that they became everything that they claimed Trump was. 55 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: And I think this is such an instructive lesson in history. 56 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: You have to be very careful not to become what 57 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: you hate. And what has occurred at the New York 58 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: Times and the Washington Post and MSNBC and CNN is 59 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: they so convinced themselves that Trump was in a ooritarian 60 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: hell bent on overthrowing democracy, that they went and did 61 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: all of the things themselves that they claimed Trump would do. 62 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: And the number one way to think about this, and 63 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: I just believe this gets to the essence of it 64 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: so well. When Fauci said I am the science. The 65 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: idea that any one person would consider themselves to be 66 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: the science is such a fundamental rejection of everything that 67 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: science stands for and the scientific method in general. Yet 68 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: they became so convinced in their certitude, in their rightness, 69 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: that they couldn't consider the other possibility. And anytime you 70 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: are convinced of your moral rectitude, that is when true 71 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: crimes against humanity happen. And Buck, this is why I've 72 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: always said terrorists aren't funny, And people say, oh, well, 73 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? Humor requires an understanding 74 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: of nuance and a form of awareness about yourself that 75 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: totalitarians cannot accept. And in this country where we're living today, 76 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: who is the most humorless among us? They're just totalitarians. 77 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: They're commies. They're just commies without the full power to 78 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 1: have the proletarian revolution that they would claim they want, 79 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: but this is no difference in the mindset. And that's 80 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: why the idea that I think Republicans need to lean 81 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: into more and more, and you're starting to see it 82 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: some is we're the party of humor, We're the party 83 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: of jokes. We support comedians ability to sometimes say things 84 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: that might be a little bit offensive. When we were 85 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: texting about this last night, I think we're starting to 86 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: win some of these cultural battles and it's not getting 87 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: a lot of attention, But there aren't very many people 88 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: getting canceled anymore, right, I mean, and maybe I'm wrong, 89 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: Maybe we're gonna say something on today's show and there's 90 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: gonna be a huge storm coming after us. But who 91 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: was the last person with right leaning values who has 92 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: ended up getting canceled? So I think that there's been 93 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: there's definitely been a shift on this, and it is 94 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: because I believe there's a realization now on the right 95 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: for everyone who is actually devoted to freedom free speech principles. 96 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: Freedom is a general concept constitutional protection of individual rights, 97 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: which is a foundational precept of our freedoms. So anyone 98 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: who believes in that understands that feeding some of our 99 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: own to the woke mob never placates them, it only 100 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: encourages them. Yeah, so there is no longer this decision 101 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: like you neither you nor I ever sitting here like, oh, 102 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: did you see with that guy said on TV on 103 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: Newsmax he should never work or get like, no, we 104 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: don't do that. And because I believe that, I agree 105 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: with you. You should only ever apologize if you're if 106 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: you offended your own conscience or fell short of your 107 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: own ideals. Because as human beings, you know you can 108 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: apologize if you make a mistake, but apologizing because of pressure, 109 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: absolutely not. And now there's no more pressure from our 110 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: side internally, I think from people to say, well, if 111 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: we just police our own you know, maybe we'll meet 112 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: in the middle. We will not meet in the middle. 113 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: The left has no middle. They want totalitarian thought control. 114 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: That's where I think that's a big part of it. Yeah, 115 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: And I also think when some people don't apologize, it 116 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: emboldens other people to do two things, say what they 117 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: really think and also if they come through the fire, 118 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: to not apologize either. And there was so much bending 119 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: of the knee that this woke cottage industry got lazy 120 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: and they just presumed, oh, if we have twenty powerful 121 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: blue check marks come after you for some opinion that 122 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: you shared, You're gonna apologize, and we're going to basically 123 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: get the scepter of dominance. And then a lot of 124 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: people have said, no, I mean, you don't have to 125 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: agree with me on anything, but why would I apologize 126 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 1: to you for something that I actually believe? Well also, 127 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: and then the other part of this that is probably 128 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: even a bigger motivation. I just I was, you know, 129 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: trying to trying to stick the landing after doing a 130 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: couple of flips there. But the basics here, everyone now 131 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: recognizes you apologize to the left, you are giving them 132 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: the proverbial rope with which they will hang you. You apologize, 133 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: you bend the need of the left. They want to 134 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: take your head. There's no more grace, there's no more forgiveness. 135 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: They just view it as racking up a metaphorical body 136 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: count of people on the other side of the ideological 137 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: spectrum that they can hold up there as examples to 138 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: the rest of you cross. You better say exactly what 139 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: we tell you to say, think exactly what you tell 140 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: you to think, or else this will happen to you too. 141 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: So when you see that. I think you also recognize, 142 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to get Prince joffreed for 143 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: the or you know what I mean, yeah, Joffrey. That 144 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: means well, Joffrey choked on a cake spoiler alert. But 145 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: but I mean what he did too? Oh yeah, yeah, well, 146 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: and I'll give you an example bucking sports. Some guy 147 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: got almost canceled for saying, hey, women's sports are not 148 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: as fun to watch as men's sports, and then like 149 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,239 Speaker 1: people were like, oh, this is really insulted. It's like, no, Actually, 150 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: if you go watch a high school girls basketball game 151 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: and you go watch a high school boys basketball game, 152 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: they play back to back. Objectively, the men's game is 153 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: way better. That doesn't mean the women can't play. It 154 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: doesn't mean the women can't work hard at their craft 155 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: as well. But men, when they play the same sport 156 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: as women, are better at them. And generally speaking, men's 157 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: sports are more fun to watch than women's. Is there 158 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: a sport, clay men of sports that you think the 159 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: female product of that sport as a viewer is superior 160 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: to the male product gymnastics? Interesting, I was going to 161 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: say either beach volleyball or tennis. Tennis. I like women's tennis, 162 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: because I prefer three sets over five, because a five 163 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: set match is like a four hour commitment. I'd rather 164 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: watch a three set match, totally true. And as a 165 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: tennis weekend warrior, of who's in playings is he's a 166 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: little kid, you can get a lot more from the 167 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: female professional game as a guy, because the men's professional 168 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 1: game is actually more interesting to recreational players, I think 169 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: in a lot of cases, I mean, not of people 170 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: that play at the very high level, but if you're 171 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: a weekend warrior, because it's closer to what you recognize 172 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: as the tennis that you play. So women's tennis for sure, 173 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: and by the way, they have equal purse for the 174 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: US Open and some of these other ones. But yeah, 175 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: gymnastics are also. I've actually I can't even think of 176 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: a famous male gymnast, and I just think the women's 177 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: like the way that they do women's gymnastics, like the 178 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: floor routine for women, the rings are tough to watch 179 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: for men. I just think the overall product is better 180 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: for women in gymnastics. I think for you, your argument 181 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: on tennis is one hundred percent true because there's a 182 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: lot of power and so so many men's points are 183 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: super short, you know, one or two strokes as opposed 184 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: to act a battle. Yeah, I mean I'm about I'm 185 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: about half as fast and significantly heavier than I used 186 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: to be what I played soccer as a young lad 187 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: But I still think you put me out there with like, 188 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, you know, women's national team, I'd wreck some 189 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: ladies on defense. You know, I'd get a ton. So 190 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: it's just not as it's it's like a high school level. 191 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: It's like a good high school level men's game, high 192 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: level men's game, women's soccer, for example. So it's just 193 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: not as good of a spectator, sias good of a product. Yeah, 194 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: it's just not as good. That's not anti women's sports, 195 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: but I mean that's what I'm saying. Like there were 196 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: so much fear that even if you said, like you know, 197 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: men's basketball is better than women's, people like, oh, how 198 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: would you dare say that? And now it's starting to 199 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: circle back around where people can say what they really think. 200 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: I would want to play beach volveball. I don't have 201 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: those kind of abs, man, you gotta have abs to 202 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: play beach volleyball. Or listeners know all about this, like 203 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: Manhattan Beach.

Jim, appreciate you giving 238 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: us the time here. I know you've been a high 239 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: ranking member of the Republicans in the House for a 240 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: decent amount of time. Now, what was it for you 241 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: that making the decision to run for the Senate was 242 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: right for you and your family in the state of Indiana. Yeah, Well, 243 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: good to be with you. You know, I've served in 244 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: the House. I just started my fourth chairm I've I've 245 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: been the chairman of the largest conservative caucus. I've been 246 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: on the front lines of fighting for the America First 247 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: agenda over the last six years. I can't tell you 248 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: how many times I've been so frustrated. While we're fighting 249 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: the fight in the House, I look over at the Senate. 250 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: I don't see enough of a fight. And as as 251 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: Mike Braun, our current senator, announced he's running for governor 252 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: of Indiana, it opened up the Senate seat. My wife 253 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: and I prayed about it, talk to our friends and 254 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: our family about it. We just feel like Indiana is 255 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: a conservative state. Indiana deserves a conservative fighter in the 256 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: Senate to fight for who's your families, and that's what 257 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: I want to go do. Shake it up. We need 258 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: a new generation of conservative leaders in the Senate and 259 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: I want to be a part of its. Congressman, appreciate 260 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: you being with us. You know, there was obviously a 261 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: lot of back and forth with Kevin McCarthy and trying 262 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: to figure out who the Speaker of the House should be, 263 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: and it seems that they've reached this accommodation, and from 264 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: what I can tell so far, it looks like things 265 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: are off to a pretty good start, even for those 266 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: who perhaps had been previously skeptical of McCarthy's leadership. There's 267 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: some good things that are happening, some good votes that 268 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: are ongoing. Is that the right read? Am I catching 269 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: that the right way? And are you expecting more of that? Yeah? 270 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: I think that's exactly right. I've told people every day 271 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: since that what happened on the floor fifteen votes for 272 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: that led to Kevin McCarthy being Speaker had a lot 273 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: less to do with Kevin McCarthy and a lot more 274 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: to do with Nancy Pelosi. Republicans are unified and recognizing 275 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: that we can't ever allow a speaker to have that 276 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: much power again, who abuses his or her power with 277 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: the gavel in their hands that runs over the rest 278 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: of us. And at the end of the fifteen speaker 279 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: votes that tumultuous week, the healthy outcome of it is 280 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: that that the rules changes that came out of it 281 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: empowers rank and file members like me that come from 282 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: places like Fort Wayne, Indiana, elected by my voters, to 283 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: go to Washington and serve them. I now have more 284 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: power in my hands to offer amendments on the floor. 285 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: I now have the ability to read a bill at 286 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: least seventy two hours before I'm supposed to vote on it. 287 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: Those simple rules change came out of the week. It 288 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: empowers members and it allows us to do what we're 289 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: supposed to do, deliver on the promises that we made. 290 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: And let me finished by saying this last week. We 291 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: began something last week that I think will be a 292 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: legacy of this Republican majority in the House. And one 293 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: of the things that I want to go over to 294 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: the Senate and focus on two and that's creating a 295 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: Select Committee on China for the first time, recognizing that 296 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: China is our greatest threat economically, militarily, and we created 297 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: a committee that's devoted to focusing on the threat and 298 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: restoring America's strength to combat the threat of China. I 299 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: see that fight going on in the House. I don't 300 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: see it going on enough in the Senate. And that's 301 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: why I want to go be a Senator and focus 302 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: on what China is doing, their strategy to dominate America, 303 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: change our way of life, and fight back against it. 304 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: We need more fighters than the Senate doing that, Jim. 305 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: One thing that you guys have already done in the 306 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: House is intoed the COVID shot mandate for military. And 307 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: you are in the military yourself, You're a lieutenant Navy. 308 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: How frustrating is it to you that anyone lost their 309 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: job at all in the military over their refusal to 310 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: get the COVID shot. Should those people get their jobs 311 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: back now, potentially with back pay in your mind? And 312 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: if so, how does that happen? Yeah, this is so important. 313 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: I served in Afghanistan, award the uniform, proudest moment in 314 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: my life. I know you know what that means. So 315 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm going to lead the I'm gonna lead the subcommittee 316 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: in the effort and the House of Representatives on the 317 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: Armed Services Committee that I served to make sure that 318 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: our troops who were separated and punished for not taking 319 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: a highly politicized vaccine, that they get the opportunity to 320 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: come back and wear the uniform again. So this Republican 321 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: majority is devoted to that. I mean, ending the vaccine 322 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: mandate was the first step. We saved something like sixty 323 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: something thousand plus troops that were being threatened with being 324 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: separated for not taking the vaccine, but there are still 325 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: several thousand. There are thousands of troops who were separated, 326 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: who were punished. We got to give them a pathway 327 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: back to serve our country again. And on top of that, 328 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: you look at the all of the branches are way 329 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: off their recruiting marks, and I think I think the 330 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,479 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate was a part of it, but I think 331 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: a bigger part of it is wokeism and the military. 332 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: And I've tangled with General Millie, some of our top 333 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: military officials in the House Room Services Committee hearing room 334 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: over this subject. When the top the top admiral and 335 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: the United of the Cno, the top admiral and the 336 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: United States Navy tells our troops to read books written 337 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: by Ibramex Kendy that teaches them that America is evil 338 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: and inherently racist, which is actually the anti the anti 339 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: racist movement, which is in and of itself very racist 340 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: and anti American. That's that's not sustainable for our country, 341 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: and the recruitment numbers prove it. How do we inspire 342 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: the next generation to do what I did, raise my 343 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: right hand and take an oath and sam want to 344 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: serve and protect my country, maybe even pay the ultimate 345 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: sacrifice when I go to at Ghanistan to serve. How 346 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: do we inspire the next generation to do that? At 347 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: the same time, we're telling them that America is inherently racist, 348 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: evil and not worth dying for. That's not sustainable for 349 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: a country. We've got to fight back against it. We're 350 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: speaking to Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana. Congressman, one more 351 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: for you here. Us is going to hit the national 352 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: debt limit tomorrow. Is this going to turn into anything? 353 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on whether we should talk about 354 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: this more or have a fight over it? You tell me, yeah, 355 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: We've been better turn into something because we're at We're 356 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: at a point where we don't have a choice. We 357 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: have to restore America's fiscal help address a thirty two 358 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: trillion dollars national debt. And let me tell you, I'm 359 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: running for the United States Senate because there are way 360 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: too many Republicans who are go along to get along, 361 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: to roll over in times like this, and we don't. 362 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: We can't roll over again. We have to in the House. 363 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: We have the majority. We have to use it. We 364 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: have to use the debt limit as a leverage point 365 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: to restore fiscal responsibility in this country. But I don't 366 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: see that fight enough in the Senate among a lot 367 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: of my Republican colleagues over there who are fighting back 368 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: against massive spending bills and using the debt limit as 369 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: a time of leverage. That's why I'm running for the Senate. 370 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: Go to Banks for Senate dot Com. Help me out. 371 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: The establishments already trying to find somebody to run against me. 372 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: I've got a proven conservative, fiscal conservative track record. I 373 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: just believe strongly that we need more conservative fighters in 374 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: the Senate, and that's why I'm running. Congressen Banks, appreciate 375 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: you being with us, sir.

For those of 378 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: us who cherish the thought of each unborn child being 379 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,239 Speaker 1: brought into this world, there is a battle going on 380 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: day in and day out. Sadly, abortion continues at an 381 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: alarming rate, despite the recent Supreme Court decision in many 382 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: parts of this country, and now with the abortion pill 383 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: accounting for over fifty percent of all abortions, which has 384 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: sold them many local pharmacies, it's just becoming far too 385 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: easy the preborn. Pregnancy Clinics continue to stand for the 386 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: lives of the unborn by providing free ultrasounds to mothers 387 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: considering abortion.

My friends, we wanted to talk to you 409 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: here on clan Buck for a few minutes with an update, 410 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: or rather updates on two crime stories that we've been 411 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: discussing with you on the show. The quadruple slaying in 412 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: Idaho or in Moscow, Idaho, and also the disappearance of 413 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: this mother, Anna Walsh from the Boston area. Clay, let's 414 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: start with this development. Now, it's not confirmed by law enforcement, 415 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: but one thing we've been talking about all along. This 416 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: is about Brian, the Brian Coburger, who allegedly murdered four 417 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: college students in Moscow, Idaho. I'm sure you all know 418 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 1: the story. It's been a huge national story, horrific and 419 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: very attention grabbing in the news cycles because of the 420 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: brutality of these murders that that Brian Coburger, you and 421 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: I had assumed Clay all along there had to be 422 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: some connection to these four of some kind. That doesn't 423 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: mean they were even aware of the connection, but in 424 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: his mind that he would go after these four in 425 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: this way. And now there is a report now it's 426 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: a source to People magazine that but the source claims 427 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: that Brian Coburger directly messaged on Instagram. And this is 428 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: very common practice. A lot of guys will try to 429 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: ask a woman out or something randomly. They'll just reach 430 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: out on Instagram. It happens all the time. Athletes, you know, 431 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: professional athletes do it and etc. But he may have 432 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: reached out to one of these young women and was ignored, 433 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: and he kept this is of course when it gets 434 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: creepy and even psychotic, kept reaching out, kept saying, hey, 435 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: how are you? Hey? How are you? Hey? How are you? 436 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: What do you think? Lay? It doesn't surprise me at all. 437 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: And I have sons, so I'm glad that I do. 438 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: But if I had daughters, or I had granddaughters, I 439 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: would be so nervous about what is being put up 440 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: on Instagram all the time, because I think it makes stalking. 441 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: I think it makes harassment possible on a level that 442 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 1: maybe these sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty year old girls 443 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: aren't thinking about but in his mind, if he had 444 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: psychological issues, and I think based on many of the 445 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: details coming out, this guy had many psychological issues. He 446 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: could have convinced himself by just clicking on her profile 447 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: and looking at what she was putting out there that 448 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: they had some sort of relationship. Maybe when he's sending 449 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: her messages and he's not responding, he's getting angrier and angrier. 450 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: We know the reports have been out there, Buck, that 451 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: they could track his cell phone to within close proximity 452 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: to her home at least twelve different times. In some way, 453 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: I think that social media can aid obsessions such as this, 454 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know that a lot of these girls 455 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 1: sit around thinking about this when they're sharing pictures and 456 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: videos of their friends, not just on Instagram, but on 457 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: TikTok and other places. Make him private, Make um private, Buck, 458 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: I agree, And I would just say it is also 459 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: possible here that he may have because on Instagram, if 460 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: you don't know the person, and there's they definitely didn't 461 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: know that. You know, there was not at any report 462 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: they knew of, no reporting of an actual connection meeting 463 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: they knew each other in any kind of a social 464 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: sense or anything else, but it goes into the request 465 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: folder and along with a lot of spam and a 466 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: lot of So it's also possible that he may have 467 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: been sending hey, how are you? Hey, how are you? 468 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: Messages that she didn't even see, and he just kept 469 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: getting crazier and crazier, and she was entirely unaware that 470 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: there was this crazy person. Again I'm surmising, but based 471 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: on this report, that is possible. And then the other 472 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: true crime story that we've talked about here in the nation, 473 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: basically another you know, grizzly murder situation. This guy Brian Walsh, 474 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: who is who is now has been We broke the news, 475 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: I believe in the show yesterday, right, it was breaking 476 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: news while we were on air, has been arrested for 477 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: the murder of his wife, Anna Walsh.

I think they have video 480 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: of Brian Walsh buying cleaning solving some things that nature 481 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: dollars in cleaning products, and yeah, all of a sudden 482 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: had a really intense cleaning job that he had to do. 483 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: But Clay the Google searches we've mentioned some of them. 484 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: He google searched on his children's iPad, on his child's iPad, 485 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: dismembering body with a hack saw, cleaning up blood.

And it's in a sort of 496 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: coastal community in Boston where there's almost no crime, a 497 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: lot like the Idaho one. Right, I mean, there hadn't 498 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: been a crime in Moscow in seven years, a murder, 499 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: and suddenly you have this quadruple homicide. And also in 500 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: this community that is a bedroom community of Boston. To 501 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: have this also occurring, you know, there's lots of evil 502 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 1: in the world. And I would just reiterate again, a 503 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: lot of parents listen to this show a lot of 504 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: grandparents listen to this show. If you have daughters and granddaughters, 505 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: they should not have public Instagram profiles. You should not 506 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: be able to type in their name and go see 507 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: a hundred different photos of they and their girlfriends and 508 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: everything that they've been doing in their life. And by 509 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: the way, if you're a twenty year old girl, if 510 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: you're in college and you're listening to us right now, 511 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: it's not only about danger potentially from people out there 512 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: that you don't know. Again, make it so you're only 513 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: your friend group can see what is going on in 514 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: your life. But also, even if it's not violent nature 515 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: like this, you don't want all of the people that 516 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: you're trying to get to hire you to be able 517 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: to see every single thing that you're doing in your 518 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: private life when you're in college, because a lot of 519 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: that stuff probably is not something that you would want 520 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: an employer to have access to. The truth is, unless 521 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: you be fine with your entire family seeing it, you 522 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't put it on the internet. That's really, you know, 523 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: meaning unless unless you look that you know, you can 524 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: pick that means you can post photos and you know, 525 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: painting suits and having fun whatever, but you know, taking 526 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: bong rips and some of the things that I see 527 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: people posting on you know, social media when they're when 528 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: they're young, when they're college age. It is not a 529 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: good idea. So I agree with you, Clay. I would 530 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: also just add to this, this is this is, this 531 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: is all already confirmed that this guy, Brian Walsh, he 532 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: googled ten ways to dismember a body, does baking soda 533 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: make a body smell good? And how long is someone 534 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: missing before you can inherit? I mean, this guy basically 535 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: googled a confession letter. Really what this is? So it 536 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: sounds like he was trying to kill her for life 537 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: insurance money, which would make some sense because he was 538 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 1: also previously convicted of trying to sell a piece of 539 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: artwork a warhoul. I think, I mean his background. I 540 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: was reading about this yesterday evening to try to familiarize 541 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: myself even more with this case. The other thing out there, 542 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: I would say, building on the way that these stories 543 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: have been told, Fuck, this is one of the dangers 544 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: I think of this influencer community. I think that almost 545 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: every pretty seventeen, eighteen, nineteen twenty year old girl thinks, oh, 546 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to be an influencer. I'm going to make 547 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: a living on Instagram. You can't do that with a 548 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,719 Speaker 1: private profile. And so I think a lot of these girls, 549 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: primarily girls, there are not that many guys who do it. 550 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 1: They're trying to get as big of an audience as 551 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: they can on Instagram, and a lot of that audience 552 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: is not necessarily very desirable people. Frankly, so I think 553 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: you just gotta be careful. You got talk to your 554 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: kids and make them aware of some of the pratfalls 555 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: and dangers that are out there they might not otherwise 556 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: be thinking of, because there are a lot of evil 557 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: people out there. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 558 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We are 559 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: rolling through the Wednesday edition of the program. We're joined 560 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: now by Chad Robi Show, former Force recon marine and 561 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: A Z's an interpreter. He rescued from Afghanistan, inspiring a 562 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: new book, Saving a zse how the mission to help 563 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: one became a calling to rescue thousands from the Taliban. Also, 564 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: Save Our Allies has been founded by Chad, a nonprofit 565 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:43,959 Speaker 1: that evacuated seventeen thousand people from Afghanistan currently operates in 566 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: Ukraine as well. Chad and Azes are in our New 567 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: York City studio right now. We appreciate you guys being here, 568 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: and Chad, I will start with you. Many people, I 569 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: think have forgotten about the chaos that came with our 570 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: evacuation from Aghanistan. But since we left there, there are 571 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: reports that thousands of people who have connections to America, 572 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: who worked for American soldiers are still stuck behind in Afghanistan. 573 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: What have you seen and what can you tell us 574 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: about the situation on the ground in Afghanistan right now? Yeah, Unfortunately, 575 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: I don't believe this is not by accident that this's 576 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: been um not just forgotten, but swept under the rug, 577 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: and the mainstream media has really been reluctant to report 578 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: on it, and I think the White House sustundt everything 579 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: they could to hide this this story. We still have 580 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand of our interpreters that are qualified for 581 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: SIV Special Immigrant Visa Program, and not only qualified, but 582 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: we're promised by our government for their service to us 583 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,239 Speaker 1: for twenty years. They're still in Afghanistan as well as 584 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: other lilypad countries around the world. In addition to that, 585 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: we have their family members in each of them are vulnerable. 586 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: You're talking about three hundred thousand people that have served 587 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: the American effort in Afghanistan, and all of them vulnerable. 588 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: They're being and systematically hunted down, pulled out of their 589 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: homes at night, beaten, tortured, killed and executed for their 590 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: for their service to our country. And uh, you know, 591 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: we we have a state department dis refusing to acknowledge it, 592 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: to do the right thing, and uh and it's still 593 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: happening every day. And meanwhile, uh, you know, we have 594 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: forty million Afghan residents, twenty million women that are being 595 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: sexually enslaved dealing with you know Syria law, not the 596 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: Taliban two point hole, but the same old brutal uh 597 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, Desh terrorist that they are. Who are who 598 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: are marrying off nine year old girls and eleven year 599 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: old girls, uh for a few hundred bucks, taking advantage 600 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: of the starving their people to make them desperate. Who 601 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: is just last week uh uh took away women's medical 602 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: rights by saying that women are allowed to see male doctors, 603 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: but they're not allowed to be doctors, and there allowed 604 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: to be educated. And so the whole thing is just terrible. 605 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: And the fact that the White House has done such 606 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: an effective job of making this go away as is 607 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: more the reason of why I want this book out, 608 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: saving it so people know the truth. Hey, Chad, it's buck. 609 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: Really appreciate you joining us and thank you for your service. 610 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: Sir um, what would you like to see the Biden 611 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: administration do? I mean, if you could get a sit 612 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: down with Biden and you know, top national security apparatus, folks, 613 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: what do you think is is the path forward if 614 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: they were to get serious and engage on this issue 615 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: and keep the word of the American government that was 616 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: given to those who were helping people like you who 617 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: were serving our country in uniform in Afghanistan. Yeah, well, 618 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: it's a it's a really good question. And first of all, 619 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: and you're not asking a question it goes in hindsight. 620 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: But I have to say, the American people were lied 621 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: to and said that we were in a twenty year war. 622 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: We endless war, we have to end this war, we 623 00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: have to get out, and I think everyone really believed that. 624 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: But the truth is that's that's a lie, and it's 625 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: not consistent with historical successes of military strategy in the 626 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: United States, we had twenty five hundred troops to four 627 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: thousand troops and Aghanistan, and in twenty and eighteen we 628 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: stopped participating in a conventional fight against Taliban and we 629 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: started a support in abajori role with the Afghan National 630 00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,400 Speaker 1: Army and Afghan National Police, and the entire international community 631 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: was participating at Bagam Air Force Base, the most strategic 632 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: place in our globe between Iraq, Iran, Russia, and China. 633 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: And for us to give that up for saying we 634 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: have to move out twenty five hundred and four thousand troops. Meanwhile, 635 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: we have eighty thousand troops in Japan and forty thousand 636 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: troops in Germany since World War two, thirty five troops 637 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: in South Korea since World War two. These contingencies keep 638 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: the world safe and make us and keep us out 639 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: of future wars. And we didn't negotiate with our international allies. 640 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: We didn't negotiate with NATO, we didn't negotiate with the 641 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: Afghan government we put in place for twenty years. We 642 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: only negotiated with the Taliban and handed our handed that 643 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: strategic location over to the Taliban without supporting the Afghan 644 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 1: government we put in place, and it created a complete collapse. 645 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: So to answer your question right now, it's very difficult 646 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: to do the right thing because of the situation that 647 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: was created. I think the only thing that could be 648 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 1: done was for the that could be done now is 649 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: for the State Department to have a clear process for 650 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: SIV applicants for P one P two visas that qualify 651 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: for a pathway to citizenship based on their service to America. 652 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: But then you you're forced in a situation now where 653 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: there is no US embassy in Afghanistan, there is no 654 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: consulate for them to go to apply for visas. They 655 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 1: have to go to the Taliban and basically surrendered themselves 656 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: as an enemy of the state of a Taliban and 657 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 1: surrendered themselves in order to try to get to America. So, 658 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's tough to answer that question, Buck, and 659 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: it's a good question, but um, you know, we this 660 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: administration has put this situation to where it's it's almost unrecoverable. Chat. 661 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,439 Speaker 1: I know there's many reasons you're doing what you are 662 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: doing for the people left behind in Afghanistan, but also 663 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: as these who was sitting with you right now saved 664 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: your life. What is that story. Well, I mean we 665 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: you know, I was. I was very fortunate as a 666 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: for Sri com Maraine, I was selected to go be 667 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: part of a JAYSOK task force, to Joint Special Operations 668 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: Command task Force. And part of that role was working 669 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: in a singleton capacity, meaning by myself and going out 670 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: ahead of my unit to build the clandestine infrastructure to 671 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: put our assualts on target to capture or kill bad guys. 672 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 1: And in doing that, I was assigned to a local 673 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: national which was disease. He was my interpreter, eventually vetted, trained, 674 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: polygraphed to become my teammate, my sole teammate and uh 675 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: and you know, through eight deployments which we did together 676 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 1: to keep the continuity, he became my friend. He saved 677 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,839 Speaker 1: my life multiple times. He probably saved my life every day, 678 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: like don't walk there, don't eat that, don't talk to 679 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: the person. If you talk right now, they got to 680 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: kill us. Like he saved my life every day. And 681 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: when we dive done operating the mountains of Afghanistan or 682 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: across the board in Pakistan, I didn't go to base 683 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 1: and he went home. I went home with him. His 684 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: first first hot meal, I had those cold Mountains, was 685 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: by his wife, Hatra, and then I was there when 686 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 1: my shoot at my shoot, his oldest son and daughter 687 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: were born, and I held him as babies like his 688 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,479 Speaker 1: family to me. And so to leave him there during 689 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: the withdrawal was something I could never have left lived with. 690 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I had to go and help. And we 691 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: put a small team together to go, originally to just 692 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,720 Speaker 1: go get his ease. And as we're putting this team together, 693 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,479 Speaker 1: you know, most incredible special operations guys that I knew, 694 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: and veterans that trusted about twelve of us. One of 695 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 1: us pointed out a really great good point, and that 696 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: was being a little selfish to get my friend. And 697 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 1: there were other people, other interpreters, American citizens, women, children, 698 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: Christians that be persecuted that needed help to and we 699 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: made a decision in that moment. I believe we're all 700 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: pretty strong people of faith. We believed that God was 701 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 1: really just burdened our hearts to do the right thing 702 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 1: and help these people, and we made a decision to 703 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: be obedient to that burden and say yes to go. 704 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: And then and beyond that, I believe we witnessed the 705 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: divine miracle happen in the next three days that made 706 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: it possible to not just rescue his ease and his family, 707 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: but seventeen thousand people.
