Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We've rolled 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: through the Friday edition of the program. I'm out here 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: in Phoenix getting ready for the super Bowl over the weekend. 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: I'll give you my prediction in the third hour of 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: the program, and I'm about to tweet it out. You'll 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: get an early preview of that and you can share 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: your own or Joined now by Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: Senator I know we've had you on, sent you one 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: reelection in November, but Joe Biden seems to enjoy attacking 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: you by making up stories about you. I know you're 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: used to that, but he traveled to your state and 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: made some claims about you. What did you consider to 15 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: be the biggest whoppers? And I hope you're having a 16 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: good weekend or early start to your weekend. Thanks for 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: coming on with us. Oh great, hope you're doing well well. 18 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: I think the President might have just forgotten to say 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: that I already won reelection and he doesn't have to 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: worry about the attack to me for another five or 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: six years, you're going to be in office for longer 22 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: than he is. I feel good about that. But what's 23 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: amazing I actually really appreciate to what Fox News uncovered 24 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: is back in May seventy five, the Senator Joe Biden, 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: it was proposing exactly what he's for example, accusing Rick 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: Scott of saying that he proposed sun setting every government 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: program every four years, and talked repeatedly about freezing Soul 28 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: Security and Medicare and Medicaid benefits. So, I mean, not 29 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: only is the a liar, he's a hypocrite, you know. 30 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: So he comes Toto, Wisconsin. He did this from the campaign. 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: He did again yesterday basically saying that I want to 32 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: cut or end or put Soul Security in the chopping block. 33 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: I've never said that. It's a complete lie. What I 34 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: have said is I want to save those programs, and 35 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: I've said the way to save them is we need 36 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: to start reduced seeing the out of control depths of spending, 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: pay attention to our massive debt, and that it's that 38 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: depth of spending and massive debt that is the greatest 39 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: stretch of so security, and politicians like Joe Biden, who 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: now as President Biden simply will not take a look 41 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: at federal spending and start raining it in, start prioritizing it. 42 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on right now. I know 43 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: we were hoping that you would have control of a committee, 44 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: that the Republicans would take control of the of the Senate, 45 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: but the House has really been unveiling a lot as 46 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: it pertains to Twitter, misinformation campaigns and everything else out there. 47 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: And I want to I want to ask you about 48 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: this question in particular because I was hammering it yesterday 49 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: and I know it's something that you would consider to 50 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: be incredibly integral as well. So we know that the 51 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: FBI's had the Hunter Biden laptop since December of twenty nineteen. 52 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: We also know smoking gun out evidence that they were 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: providing briefings to big tech companies arguing for them to 54 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: be prepared for Russian disinformation potentially connected to the Hunter 55 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: Biden laptop. To be fair, we don't know whether the 56 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: FBI agents giving those briefings had also been privy to 57 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: the investigation into Hunter Biden's laptop. What we do know, Senator, 58 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: is that some people at the FBI. We don't know 59 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: how many would have known that the laptop was real 60 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: and would have been in some way either allowing or 61 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: encouraging the briefings to big tech to suggest that the 62 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: laptops were not real. And I know that involved you 63 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: as well in what the FBI acted. Who do we 64 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: think was the puppet master here trying to rig the 65 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: election in twenty twenty based on the Hunter Biden laptop? 66 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: And are we ever going to know who inside the 67 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: FBI basically ordered these code reads. Well, one of the 68 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: reasons I called for in my customer Moony the House 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: investigators to call an interview every one of those fifty 70 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: one intelligence officials to sign that information operation letter. Okay, 71 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: remember that they said that the kind of fighting laptops 72 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: had all the earmarks of a Russian information operation. No, 73 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: that letter was of information operation that interfered and had 74 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: an impact on our election to a farther greater extent 75 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: than anything Russia ever could have hoped to accomplish. So, 76 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: first of all, we need to find out who masterminded 77 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: that letter. But you know one thing, I think Chuck 78 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: Rassler kind of took a part of his testimony really 79 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: focused on the sabotage of our investigation into the Bidens 80 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: and it was multiple actors. I mean, we had Democrat 81 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: senators setting us up, We had the FBI setting us up, 82 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: giving us unsolicited briefings that were nonsense. They told us 83 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: nothing I knew I was being set up. They did 84 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: later leak it to smear me in twenty twenty one 85 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: and impacting the Wisconsin election as well. So what is 86 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: key about that December twenty nineteen date is, yes, the 87 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: FBI definitely had an information. We have whistleblower telling us 88 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: that they were told do not look at that laptop. Okay, 89 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: but we have evidence, you know, little piece of the puzzle. 90 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: That's that point I point out in my testimony. When 91 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: the FBI left the computer shop, somebody, one of the 92 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: agents said, basically, you know, it is our experience that 93 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: people don't talk about these things, don't get in trouble. 94 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: And I said, that is the opening salvo in a 95 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: ten months operation to sabotaze any revelation that the laptop 96 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: existed or any bad information. So I mean, yet people 97 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: have to really think focus on that. The FBI spent 98 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: ten months working giving us unsolicited briefings. Basically, you know, 99 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: by the way, we were off for that computer the 100 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: day after Our report dropped in September, but we didn't 101 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: take possession of it because we do our due diligence. 102 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: We went to the FBI, what do you know about this? 103 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: They never told us what they knew about it. They 104 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: gave us the run around for weeks until Paul mciaac 105 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: John Paul mceaac gave it to ru Giuliani and then 106 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: the New York Post. So people really have to understand 107 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: the gravity of what the FBI was doing, how pervasive 108 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: this was, how the media played part of this. Democrat 109 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: senators played a role in just using Russian disinformation. They've 110 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: been using it for years, starting with the Hillary Clinton emails. 111 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: The DNC hacked and we still this day don't know 112 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: was that really Russia that hacked into that? But it 113 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: sure worked effectively, didn't it. So I didn't have all 114 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: the information. I just I have so much suspicious suspicion. 115 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: There's so many things that indicate a massive diversionary operation. Amen, 116 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you, I mean, we are ecstatic that 117 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: you want a reelection to be able to ask so 118 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: many of these questions as a sitting senator. But I 119 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: want everybody out there listening to us right now to understand. Look, 120 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook and all these different tech companies, they 121 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: have a lot of people. I think that we're carrying 122 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: water for government for Democrats. We all know that. But 123 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: what is scarier to me, Senator, is the rig job 124 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: that you just talked about from inside of our own government, 125 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: our own taxpayer funded FBI. There is a cabal. There 126 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: is a collusion that is going on there. We don't 127 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: know how many people there were, but they made a 128 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: calculated decision inside of the FBI to try and rig 129 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: the election by arguing the Hunter Biden laptop wasn't real 130 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: when they hundred percent knew at the top of the 131 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: food chain and the FBI that it was real. And 132 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: those same people, by and large, Senator, are still there 133 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: and we're going to have a new election cycle coming 134 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: up in twenty twenty four. I don't know how anybody 135 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: in the American public with a functional brain can be 136 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: confident with those same people in positions of power when 137 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: we really they're they're the puppet masters, is what I'm 138 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: calling them. And you can say, oh, look at how 139 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: the Twitter and Facebook people are dancing. You know, they're 140 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: they're the puppets. But who's the puppet master? We still 141 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: don't know. And that's the essence of what we have 142 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: to get to. Right. It is the global left in 143 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: mass I don't think that's what our side has really 144 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: understood well enough yet. Is how pervasive, how literally global, 145 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: this is. And that's what I tried to point out 146 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: in my ten twelve minutes worth the testimony yesterday, is 147 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: the pervasiveness of this. I mean, all of the actors 148 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: it is. It is the left, and they have infiltrated 149 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: every institution of our country. They started with the universities. 150 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean, this is all the Solisky rules for radical playbook. 151 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean they've been following that for decades and they've 152 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,239 Speaker 1: been very effective at it. So when you control universities, 153 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: you're teaching journalists, you're teaching our educators from doctrineing our children. Uh, 154 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: you control our media. And so they get away with 155 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: falsely accusing conservatives of exactly what they are doing. And 156 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: so we need to come to grips with how unbelievably 157 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: effective they are, how they have, how they how effectively 158 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: they have infiltrated all of our institutions of power, how 159 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: they control the narrative. We're not winning this. It's not 160 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: it's not a level of playing field, it's not a 161 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: it's not a fair fight. And when we have our 162 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: elected officials, you're pretty well cowtowing to the left as well, 163 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, signing on to their massive out of control 164 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: depths and spending. It gets pretty frustrating from my standpoint, 165 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: not willing, really willing to admit, you know, how how 166 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: far behind the eight ball we truly are, and how 167 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: our freedoms are so are so severely threatened. You're listen. 168 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate Clayton Buck. You know how effective you've been 169 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: and how have you've been outspoken about the freedom's takeaway 170 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: during the pandemic. You're one of the few. I mean, 171 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: there aren't many people. There aren't many people in Congress 172 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: really streaming about what happened during the pandemic. But but 173 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: you have your eyes open. We just need to open 174 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: up a whole lot more eyes. Amen. And I'm still 175 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: furious about it. Bucks out on his honeymoon right now, 176 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully he's resting up so he can come 177 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 1: back ready for the fight. I'm still fired up to 178 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: about so many things. But just last week, Senator, we 179 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: had and I said on Friday of last week. I 180 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: never would have believed that this would be the topic 181 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: that we would lead the show with. We had a 182 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: Chinese spy balloon go all the way from Alaska across 183 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: the entire United States and then exit off the South 184 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: Carolina coast. What in the world is going on that 185 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: we allowed that to occur? And how is it normalized 186 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: in any way that a foreign adversarial country is allowed 187 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: to have a spy balloon that they control and we 188 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: just permit it to happen. I mean, sometimes crazy things happen, 189 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: and I think we get used to them existing. I 190 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: can't believe that that happened and that basically people are like, 191 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: well it got shot down once it was in South Carolina, 192 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: No big deal to me. That's an unbelievable act of 193 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: aggression by China. And I thought Biden's response was incredibly weak. Well, 194 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: one of the points I've been making the major points 195 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: since this story's broken, is why did it take so 196 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: long for the administration to start talking about this. Yeah, 197 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 1: one of our huge advantages is we have an open 198 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: as society. Now it's also a disadvantage, but we need 199 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: to utilize that open society and what I've witnessed now 200 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: that I'm in Washington, se No, I'm not of this world. 201 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm an account I'm manufacturer. But now that i'm there, 202 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: we so overclassed by material these you know, information's power, 203 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: and so certainly in the administrations and Congress is just 204 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: willingly give it up its constulation authority to the executive 205 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: branch and they take it. And one of the reasons 206 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: they make one of the ways they maintain power is 207 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: they control all the information, which is why it's going 208 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: to be very difficult for the House to the information 209 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: out of the FBI. I mean, you're already seeing the 210 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: legal fight. They're they're just given comer and Jordan's the 211 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: middle finger. They'll continue to do that. But we need 212 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: to be more transparent. We need to force transparency out 213 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: of these administrations. And in terms of this blue instent, 214 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: we should have been made away this immediately. The administrations 215 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: should have talked about, hey, you know, we have now 216 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: detected this and then laid out you know, if there's 217 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: a rationale for letting this come across, so we contract 218 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: that tell of the American public about this. There's no 219 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: reason to keep this stuff secret. But they keep a 220 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: secret because they keep information and they maintain the power. 221 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: We need to demand greater transparency across the federal agency disease. 222 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: Last question for you, and it's far less significant than 223 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: everything we've been talking about so far. Who wins Chief's 224 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: Eagles Super Bowl Sunday. You know I'm not a prod. 225 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: You know I don't make those predictions. I just hope 226 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: for a really good competitive game. I mean, I really 227 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: I don't care who wins. It's not the Green Bay 228 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: Packers there, so I don't care. I just want a 229 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: really fun game to watch, and that means it's a 230 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: close game and a fair game and not decided to 231 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: buy a stupid call. Want I want to see excellence. 232 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: I want to see the competitors compete, and I want 233 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: to see a good, close game that somebody wins. I 234 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: don't want to see somebody lose it. I want to 235 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: see somebody win it with just excellence, outstanding. Have a 236 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: good time up in Wisconsin. We're excited to have you 237 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: for six more years, and we appreciate you giving us 238 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: some time on this Friday. Enjoy the game, take care 239 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: of we'll do. Senator Ron Johnson, there dodging a prediction, 240 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: just wants both teams to play well. I can respect 241 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: that unless the Packers are involved. I know he's a 242 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: big Packer fan, and I got to figure out what 243 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna do with Aaron Rodgers. By the way, I 244 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: just see Aaron Rodgers is going to make a decision 245 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: after going and spending several days in complete darkness. I'm 246 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: not even making that up. By the way, I can't 247 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: think of anything more miserable than disappearing into complete darkness 248 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: for multiple days to contemplate life. But that's the way 249 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: he's going to decide what to do with his career 250 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: going forward. He's an interesting dude.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 272 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: We roll through the Friday edition of the program. I'm 273 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: out here in Phoenix. Have had a fantastic time met 274 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: a lot of you who are listening to the show 275 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: in the Phoenix area, and we know all over the 276 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: country a lot of you are going to be tuning 277 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: in over the weekend for the Super Bowl, which has 278 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: taken place on Sunday out here. Next year super Bowl, 279 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: by the way, is going to be in Las Vegas. 280 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: And if you thought the Super Bowl was wild normally 281 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine how crazy it is going to 282 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: be in Las Vegas for the first time ever when 283 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: it is there next year. But there's several different things 284 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: that are going on. You just heard Senator Johnson talking there, 285 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: and I think what he is saying is so important. 286 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: But I just want to keep hammering at home because 287 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of Republicans out there 288 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: that really don't understand what happened with the FBI and 289 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: the way that they intentionally tried to create the idea 290 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation so Joe 291 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: Biden could get into the White House. And while we 292 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: focus on Twitter employees and Facebook employees, and I think 293 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: rightly they should have to stand and testify and explain 294 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: their decision making as it pertains to the Hunter Biden 295 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: laptop and censorship in general. We can't miss that those 296 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: are employees of private companies and they were acting at 297 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: the behest of taxpayer funded FBI elite high end employees. 298 00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: Christopher Rays still in charge of the FBI. How is that, Pawle, 299 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: How is it possible that we still don't know what 300 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: the FBI has even done with that Hunter Biden laptop. 301 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm not one of these people who comes out there 302 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 1: and tells you, Hey, everybody who works at the FBI 303 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: is awful. I think there's tons of people in the 304 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: FBI that are really good at their jobs that are 305 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: focused on trying to go get bad guys. But I 306 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: think there are many people at the top of the 307 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: FBI right now that are trying to rig elections, and 308 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: they already did it in twenty twenty. Why are we 309 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: not trying to root those people out of the agency? 310 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: Why are we allowing them to remain in power as 311 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: we come up on another cycle. And what in the 312 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: world have they've been doing for three years with the 313 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop again? I want puppet masters. I don't 314 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: want puppets. The tech company employees are the fall guys. 315 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: We're ignoring the people well at the very APEX that 316 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: made all of this happen. They're getting away with rigging 317 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: and election right now, if your business has five or 318 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: more employees and managed to survive COVID, you could be 319 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: eligible to receive a payroll tax rebate of up to 320 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: twenty six thousand dollars per employee, real money when you 321 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: do the math, not alone, No payback.

But I wanted to 341 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: talk about this Chinese spy balloon again for a moment here, 342 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: I opened up the show talking about how Joe Biden's everything. 343 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: They told you Donald Trump was an authoritarian who will 344 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: do whatever it takes to grab power and use it relentlessly. 345 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: And certainly I think you can tie that in with 346 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: John Fetterman because the moment that Democrats were able to 347 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: elect John Fetterman, who was presently in the hospital for 348 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: a third straight day, The New York Times said that 349 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: he's maybe not going to be able to recover, partly 350 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: because of the stress that he put his body through 351 00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: during the campaign. They'll do anything for power, but they 352 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: won't do anything to stand up to other powers such 353 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: as China. And you heard me talking at the beginning 354 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: of this hour with Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. And 355 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to normalize or pretend that this is 356 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: something that we should get used to. We just had 357 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: a Chinese spy balloon move across the entire United States 358 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: and we didn't do anything about it. They violated our 359 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: territorial sanctity, our own country's airspace in an effort to 360 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: glean information they could use against us, potentially in a war. 361 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden just said, it really wasn't that big 362 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: of a deal. Listen to this audio cut twenty six. 363 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: Wasn't it a major security bridge for the United States? 364 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: Just the fact that the balloon came into the air 365 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: space through over the country for so many days, the 366 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: total amount of intelligence GADIN is going on by every 367 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: country around the world is overwhelming, and the idea that 368 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: a balloon could traverse break American airspace is anyway, that's 369 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: not a major breach. Are you hidding me? It's not 370 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: a major breach that our chief foreign adversary had a 371 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: spy balloon traverse the entire United States. Again, I don't 372 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: want to normalize what we just allowed China to do. 373 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: China went all the way from Alaska across the entire 374 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: continental United States to South Carolina. And unless this spy 375 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: balloon had been visible to the naked eye, I don't 376 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: think the Biden administration would have even told us this happened. 377 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: And this ties in with why Joe Biden is so 378 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: uniquely incompetent for office. John Fetterman is in the hospital 379 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: right now for a third straight day. He's fifty three 380 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: years old. He may die, unfortunately because of what he 381 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: put his body through as a part of the campaign 382 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: instead of getting healthy. Joe Biden's not a healthy man 383 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: when he got that call. Whenever they bothered to notify 384 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: Biden about the spy balloon, You guys were listening to 385 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: this program basically when I found out that there was 386 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: a spy balloon going across the country. And I bet 387 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: a lot of you who still have functional brains unlike 388 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and who have some cognitive understanding of the 389 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: fact that it is a major deal when our chief 390 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: adversary decides that they're going to violate our territory and 391 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: our airspace to potentially glean information that would make it 392 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: easier for them to beat us in a war. I'm sorry, 393 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: that is the essence of a big deal. Joe Biden. 394 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: When I heard that happen, my first thought is immediately 395 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: shoot it down. If a Chinese spy balloon enters the 396 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: country intending to get information to allow them to better 397 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: beat us in a war, I don't want that to happen. 398 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: I am going to prevent it. My mind immediately says 399 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: our territorial sovereignty is violated, that balloon comes down. Either 400 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: they didn't tell Joe Biden about this, or Joe Biden, 401 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: because this had not happened before, didn't have any idea 402 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: what to do, and so he allowed this to go 403 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: all the way across the country and he told everybody, Oh, 404 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: it was because we were afraid that if we shot 405 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: it down, somebody might get hurt on the ground. Have 406 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: you guys flown over the country before. It's one of 407 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: my favorite stats. Most of the United States is not 408 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: very populated. Next time you have no cloud cover and 409 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: you're on an airplane, look out and look down below 410 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: and look how much open terrain there is. You know, statistic, 411 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: every single person in America, every family unit, could live 412 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: in the state of Texas alone, on one acre lots 413 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: and there wouldn't be anybody else in the entire United States. 414 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: If you want to visualize how much open space there 415 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: still is in this country, think about the map. Everybody 416 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: could be in Texas. Everybody could be on one acre 417 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: in Texas, and nobody else in the rest of the country. 418 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: There would not be a single person you ever looked 419 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: at how much land there is. They could have shot 420 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: down this balloon tons of places. They should have certainly 421 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: done it. In Alaska when it first came in and 422 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: there would have been no risk at all. I think 423 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: what happened is they said, we don't want the Americans 424 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: to know about the Chinese spy. I think that was 425 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: the decision. Can you imagine what the reaction would have 426 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: been if Donald Trump he wouldn't have done it. Can 427 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,719 Speaker 1: you imagine the reaction if Donald Trump would have allowed 428 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: a Chinese spy balloon to go all the way from Alaska, 429 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: then come across the United States, come into Idaho, Montana, 430 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: come across all the middle part of the country, and 431 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: then exit off the coast in South Carolina. They would 432 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: have said that Donald Trump was a Manchurian candidate, that 433 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: he was allowing China to spy on us. They wouldn't 434 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: have questioned the decision not to shoot down the balloon. 435 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: They will would have at the New York Times, at 436 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, at CNN, It's NBC, ABCCBS, all of 437 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: those outlets. They would have immediately said, Donald Trump let 438 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: this Chinese spy balloon travel across the country because he 439 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: wanted to aid and abet Chinese spying, because he's in 440 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: the pocket of China. You know in your heart, that's 441 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: immediately what they would say, if Donald Trump's listening right now, 442 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: he may well be he's nodding right now and saying 443 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent right? They wouldn't have just said, 444 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 1: why isn't he shooting it down, which is what Republicans said, 445 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: and then Democrats said, I don't know why they're trying 446 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: to make this political. Well, because our chief adversary has 447 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: a spy balloon, you weren't even allowed to say, why 448 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: are we not shooting this down? But the Democrats and 449 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: their propaganda media allies would have immediately shifted and said, 450 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: Trump's allowing this to happen because he wants China access 451 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: to all of our sensitive spy data, because he's in 452 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: the pocket of China. How in the world do we 453 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: let this happen? And how in the world has it 454 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: already been normalized such that this story is just kind 455 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: of disappearing. Can you imagine, for those of us who 456 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: are old enough to remember, if Russia the Soviet Union 457 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: at the time, if if a Soviet Union spy balloon 458 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: had gone across the entire United States, it would have 459 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: been basically a declaration of war in the nineteen eighties, 460 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: Do you think Ronald Reagan would have allowed that to happen. 461 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: Do you think George Bush Senior would have allowed that 462 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: to happen? For those of us who remember the Cold 463 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: War against the Soviet Union, China is a far more 464 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: dangerous adversary, in my opinion than the Soviet Union ever 465 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: was in the nineteen eighties. And we just allowed China 466 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: to fly a spy balloon across us, our entire country 467 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: and didn't do a thing about it, and we have 468 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: totally normalized it. You just heard can I grabbed that 469 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: Biden cut again as we're going to break here? Just 470 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: the last couple of seconds of the Biden cut. Let's 471 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: play the whole thing. He doesn't answer the question, Well, 472 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: let's play this one more time. Just listen to what 473 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is trying to say. It's no big deal. 474 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: So what security breache for the United States? Just the 475 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: fact that the balloon came into the airspace through over 476 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: the country for so many days. Look, the total amount 477 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: of intelligence guy that is going on by every country 478 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: around the world's overwhelming. And the idea that a balloon 479 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: could traverse break American airspace is anyway, it's not a 480 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: major breach anyway, not a major breach is this a 481 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: leader that China's afraid of. They just sent one of 482 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: their sovereign crafts across our entire country, potentially loaded it 483 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: down with explosives, because really this is probably a test 484 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: to see what they can get away with. And anyway, 485 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: not a major breach, is Joe Biden's response. If it's 486 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: not a major breach, why don't we have spy craft 487 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: constantly going over Chinese airspace? You know what China would 488 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: have done the moment one of an American spy balloon 489 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: went into their country, they just shot it down. If 490 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: you're Taiwan and you just heard Joe Biden say anyway, 491 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: not a major breach, are you thinking to yourself that 492 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: guy's got our back. It's definitely going to stand up 493 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: to China if they decide to invade Taiwan. Weak Men 494 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: make wars. Joe Biden is a weak man. He's not 495 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: even cognitively capable. I don't believe of making the rational 496 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: choice that every single one of you just about would 497 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: have made if you had been told, Hey, a Chinese 498 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 1: spy balloon just entered into Alaska and is trying to 499 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: glean military information and help to benefit from this balloon 500 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: traversing the country. The president is the ultimate desire. The 501 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: decision was simple, here, shoot it down. We have days. 502 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: And then when he's pressed on it, credit to the 503 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: question or there he says, anyway, not a major breach. Anyway, 504 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: not a major breach. Can you imagine Ronald Reagan saying that? 505 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: Can you imagine George Bush Senior saying that? Can you 506 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: imagine any American president with a functional brain saying that 507 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: China sending a spy balloon to glean information so they 508 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: could potentially beat us in a war into our own 509 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: airspace was not a major breach. Shameful. We can't normalize this. 510 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: It's an embarrassment of the country. And Joe Biden just 511 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: continues to show us that he does everything wrong. The 512 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: bidas touch. Whatever he touches turns to crap. A lot 513 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: of pride comes with gun ownership, keeping yourself properly trained 514 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: with your firearm. I'm convinced that's why gun ranges stay 515 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: as busy as they are. Men and women want to 516 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: keep their skills sharp.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 532 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: Hopefully the Chinese spy balloons are not here again. But 533 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: are you with me that that's just insane anyway, not 534 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: a major breach. What is a major breach to Joe Biden? 535 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: Does it make you wonder what would have to have 536 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: what would China have to do for Joe Biden to say, yeah, 537 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: that's a major breach, Because I think before last week, 538 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: if I had come on the air and I'd said, Hey, 539 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: I got a crazy idea for you guys. I think 540 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: China is gonna fly an unmanned spy balloon all the 541 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: way from Alaska across the entire country, stopping over many 542 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: of our military installations, in an attempt to glean as 543 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: much in from nation as they possibly can about our 544 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: military capabilities. Things that they can get from a balloon 545 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: that they can't get from a satellite in space. And 546 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: we're going to allow the Chinese to go across the 547 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: entire country doing this spine and then we're gonna let 548 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: them leave the country, and then we'll shoot it down 549 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: once they get to the Atlantic Ocean and they can't 550 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: possibly get any more information from us. If I had 551 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: told you that ten days ago, y'all would have told 552 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: me I was crazy, Like Clay, there's no way China 553 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: is going to put a spy balloon in our airspace, 554 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: And there's no way we're gonna let them just sit 555 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: over the top of our air of our military bases. 556 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: And there's no way people are going to be standing 557 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: out in their yards covering their eyes, gazing up at 558 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: the sky looking at a Chinese spy balloon in America. 559 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: We would shoot that thing down in a heartbeat. We'd 560 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: never let it cross the entire country, stopping at military 561 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: installations along the way, especially if that Chinese spy balloon 562 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: was also equipped with explosives and could serve as a 563 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: potential test to use an unmanned spy balloon flight. That 564 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: wouldn't cost that much money in the grand scheme of 565 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: things that China could potentially deploy in the event that 566 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: we ever went to war with China, y'all would have said, 567 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 1: I was crazy. We just had it happened. And Joe 568 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: Biden is already saying not a major breach. So my 569 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,400 Speaker 1: question for you is, if that's not a major breach, 570 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: what has to happen for it to be a major breach? 571 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: Does China have to actually invade California for Joe Biden 572 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: to say, yeah, it's a major breach. Do they have 573 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: to simultaneously invade in multiple states? Do they have to 574 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: in some way put military boots on the ground Red 575 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: Dawn style? Do we need to be sitting in our 576 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: living rooms looking out the window all of the sudden, 577 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: People's Republic of China dropping airplane invaders? I mean, what 578 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,240 Speaker 1: is a major breach? To Joe Biden, that's the follow 579 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: up question when he says anyway, not a major breach. 580 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: I'd like to be sitting across from Joe Briden and say, Okay, 581 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: what is a major breach? Then? In your mind, what 582 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: would need to occur for me to say this doesn't 583 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: seem good because I'm gonna be honest with y'all, feels 584 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,799 Speaker 1: like kind of a major breach. I don't remember this 585 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: ever happening in my life, and I think it's so 586 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: instructive to contemplate how this would have been covered if 587 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union had done it in the nineteen eighties 588 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: during the Cold War. What would Ronald Reagan have done? 589 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: What would George Bush Senior have done? How would the 590 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: media have covered it? And can you imagine Ronald Reagan 591 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,280 Speaker 1: sitting down for an interview being asked about the Soviet 592 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: Union invading our airspace with the spy balloon stopping over 593 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: our military installations. Can you imagine the reaction if he 594 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: had said that wasn't a major breach, not a big deal. 595 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,560 Speaker 1: I think people would have lost their minds, justifiably. Joe 596 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: Biden just said anyway, not a major breach, and a 597 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: lot of people are turning the page and saying, yeah, 598 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of agree with him. I don't 599 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,879 Speaker 1: what a Senator jd Vance think. He's up next with 600 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: us here on claim buff
