According to the Bureau 4 00:00:22,577 --> 00:00:25,977 Speaker 1: of Labor Statistics, America had another month of massive inflation 5 00:00:26,097 --> 00:00:29,057 Speaker 1: in April, with the consumer price index rising by eight 6 00:00:29,097 --> 00:00:32,457 Speaker 1: point three percent year over year. The American people are 7 00:00:32,497 --> 00:00:35,417 Speaker 1: starting to feel the pinsion. Meanwhile, the government just approved 8 00:00:35,497 --> 00:00:39,177 Speaker 1: yet another forty billion dollars. We don't have an aid 9 00:00:39,217 --> 00:00:42,057 Speaker 1: to Ukraine. More on the latest economic disaster for the 10 00:00:42,097 --> 00:00:51,857 Speaker 1: Biden administration in tonight's Hold the One. Welcome to hold 11 00:00:51,857 --> 00:00:55,537 Speaker 1: the One. I'm Buck Sexton. The numbers they tell the tale. Friends. 12 00:00:55,857 --> 00:01:00,097 Speaker 1: Consumer price index increase as of today, just announced eight 13 00:01:00,137 --> 00:01:04,097 Speaker 1: point three percent in April year over year. Now this 14 00:01:04,777 --> 00:01:08,777 Speaker 1: is really significant because what it tells you is that 15 00:01:08,897 --> 00:01:13,937 Speaker 1: all the up agenda, they're talking points from the Democrat 16 00:01:14,057 --> 00:01:19,097 Speaker 1: Biden administration about how inflation is transitory, it's limited, it's 17 00:01:19,097 --> 00:01:21,897 Speaker 1: just a putent price syche, it's just the energy sector. 18 00:01:22,817 --> 00:01:27,817 Speaker 1: Bull crap. We got the worst inflation in forty years 19 00:01:27,937 --> 00:01:30,617 Speaker 1: and it's here to stay for a while. This is 20 00:01:30,657 --> 00:01:34,257 Speaker 1: at a time of rising interest rates, all kinds of 21 00:01:34,297 --> 00:01:38,657 Speaker 1: economic uncertainty, which is reflected in the markets. Stock markets 22 00:01:38,697 --> 00:01:42,977 Speaker 1: getting crushed these days. Things are not looking so good. Inflation, though, 23 00:01:43,097 --> 00:01:46,177 Speaker 1: is the primary concern that people have when it comes 24 00:01:46,177 --> 00:01:49,137 Speaker 1: to the economy. And let's remember that the economy is 25 00:01:49,137 --> 00:01:52,617 Speaker 1: the primary political concern that Americans have by far in 26 00:01:52,737 --> 00:01:55,897 Speaker 1: all the polling as we are in this midterm election year. 27 00:01:55,937 --> 00:01:59,417 Speaker 1: So look at rough for the Biden team, as it should, 28 00:01:59,817 --> 00:02:02,897 Speaker 1: because they're a bunch of idiots. But let's look at 29 00:02:02,897 --> 00:02:05,057 Speaker 1: this graph just to really hammer home here and what 30 00:02:05,057 --> 00:02:09,297 Speaker 1: we're dealing with. The year over year CPI growth since 31 00:02:09,337 --> 00:02:11,497 Speaker 1: twenty seven team, you can sort of see it's all 32 00:02:11,537 --> 00:02:15,977 Speaker 1: on that two percent range. Two percent ranges basically where 33 00:02:16,777 --> 00:02:20,937 Speaker 1: the Fed wants it to be. And then all of 34 00:02:20,977 --> 00:02:25,937 Speaker 1: a sudden, you get to twenty twenty one Biden in charge, 35 00:02:26,177 --> 00:02:30,737 Speaker 1: and boom, like a rocket ship, inflation just takes off 36 00:02:30,777 --> 00:02:34,257 Speaker 1: and it's now at eight point three percent. Now, this 37 00:02:34,337 --> 00:02:38,057 Speaker 1: means that workers wages or get a nice chunk taken 38 00:02:38,057 --> 00:02:41,697 Speaker 1: out of them every month. Every paycheck that you get 39 00:02:41,857 --> 00:02:45,297 Speaker 1: doesn't go as far. Prices or grow going up too. 40 00:02:45,377 --> 00:02:49,217 Speaker 1: Alongside all this, which makes things more difficult. Here is 41 00:02:49,257 --> 00:02:50,777 Speaker 1: a graph just to give you a sense of the 42 00:02:50,817 --> 00:02:54,297 Speaker 1: price increases folks are facing overall, it's eight point three, 43 00:02:54,377 --> 00:02:57,017 Speaker 1: which is rough enough, but food, which we all need, 44 00:02:57,217 --> 00:03:00,937 Speaker 1: you know, to survive, nine percent, and energy, which we 45 00:03:01,057 --> 00:03:06,977 Speaker 1: also need, is up thirty percent. So you if you 46 00:03:07,297 --> 00:03:09,777 Speaker 1: are looking at this from the perspective of are you 47 00:03:09,817 --> 00:03:16,137 Speaker 1: doing off doing better off financially under Biden and dinner Trump, No, 48 00:03:16,417 --> 00:03:19,537 Speaker 1: things are more expensive, you have less disposable income compared 49 00:03:19,577 --> 00:03:21,697 Speaker 1: to what you would have at the same income level. Then, 50 00:03:22,337 --> 00:03:25,937 Speaker 1: and this is just a rough economy. And that means 51 00:03:25,977 --> 00:03:29,217 Speaker 1: that people are getting annoyed, and it's about time they 52 00:03:29,257 --> 00:03:33,257 Speaker 1: recognize that the people in charge, the Democrats, are not 53 00:03:33,657 --> 00:03:35,777 Speaker 1: able to handle this. In fact, they won't make the 54 00:03:35,817 --> 00:03:39,457 Speaker 1: most basic decisions that are necessary to get this going 55 00:03:39,577 --> 00:03:42,457 Speaker 1: trending in the right direction. The new White House Press 56 00:03:42,497 --> 00:03:47,497 Speaker 1: Secretary Karine Jean Pierre is saying, don't worry. This administration's 57 00:03:47,537 --> 00:03:52,417 Speaker 1: really clear eyede on inflation. It's Putin's fault, even clear 58 00:03:52,457 --> 00:03:56,337 Speaker 1: eyed in talking about the challenges driving inflation around the globe. 59 00:03:57,137 --> 00:04:01,097 Speaker 1: As the President said yesterday, the first cause was the pandemic, 60 00:04:01,697 --> 00:04:05,417 Speaker 1: the bottlenecks that has caused around has caused around the globe, 61 00:04:05,617 --> 00:04:08,857 Speaker 1: and There's no doubt that Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine 62 00:04:09,057 --> 00:04:12,657 Speaker 1: has also led to higher commodity prices and pain for 63 00:04:12,777 --> 00:04:19,017 Speaker 1: Americans at the pump, Yeah, plutin price high real They 64 00:04:19,057 --> 00:04:21,457 Speaker 1: tried that one. Biden gave his speech earlier this week 65 00:04:21,537 --> 00:04:23,217 Speaker 1: in which he tried to get ahead of what they 66 00:04:23,217 --> 00:04:26,257 Speaker 1: all knew was going to be a bad number. They 67 00:04:26,257 --> 00:04:29,177 Speaker 1: did have. Some of the economists are surprised to find 68 00:04:29,217 --> 00:04:33,897 Speaker 1: out this is the situation. Economists are surprised to figure 69 00:04:33,937 --> 00:04:37,537 Speaker 1: out that this, in fact is a period of high 70 00:04:37,697 --> 00:04:42,337 Speaker 1: elevated inflation that's continuing on here, trying to spin as 71 00:04:42,457 --> 00:04:46,097 Speaker 1: fast as possible, furiously spinning in circles for this Biden regime. 72 00:04:46,617 --> 00:04:50,177 Speaker 1: CNN's Jim Shooto put this one out on Twitter. Is 73 00:04:50,217 --> 00:04:53,937 Speaker 1: this hilarious? US inflation took a breather last month for 74 00:04:53,977 --> 00:04:57,537 Speaker 1: the first time since August, Thank Heavens. BRYCE is still increased, 75 00:04:57,537 --> 00:05:00,977 Speaker 1: but at a slower pace than in previous months. DPI 76 00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:03,657 Speaker 1: was of eight point three percent in the twelve months 77 00:05:03,737 --> 00:05:06,777 Speaker 1: ending in April, a decrease from the eight point five 78 00:05:06,857 --> 00:05:08,977 Speaker 1: percent and recorded in March. I mean, this would be 79 00:05:09,017 --> 00:05:12,017 Speaker 1: like imagine if you had, let's say a ten percent 80 00:05:12,097 --> 00:05:14,457 Speaker 1: unemployment rate, which would be really bad. And then you 81 00:05:14,497 --> 00:05:17,737 Speaker 1: got the unemployment number and it was nine point eight percent, 82 00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:20,977 Speaker 1: and it was like, oh my gosh, look unemployment getting 83 00:05:21,017 --> 00:05:22,857 Speaker 1: way better. You know, it took a real breather on 84 00:05:22,897 --> 00:05:27,097 Speaker 1: that unemployment problem. But look, when you have a Biden administration, 85 00:05:27,337 --> 00:05:30,097 Speaker 1: what are you really gonna do? What are you really 86 00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:32,217 Speaker 1: going to say if you're trying to prop them up? 87 00:05:32,297 --> 00:05:36,297 Speaker 1: There's no data to support that the Biden regime isn't 88 00:05:36,377 --> 00:05:39,537 Speaker 1: clownish and incompetent. There's no numbers, nothing you can point 89 00:05:39,577 --> 00:05:41,857 Speaker 1: to say, yeah, they've got a good handle. It got 90 00:05:41,897 --> 00:05:45,537 Speaker 1: a good grip on the situation. I mean, just yesterday, Jensaki, 91 00:05:45,697 --> 00:05:49,897 Speaker 1: soon to be MSNBC talking Headsaki formally propagandas are of 92 00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:56,857 Speaker 1: West Wing. Saki said Biden doesn't believe spending matters when 93 00:05:56,937 --> 00:06:01,937 Speaker 1: it comes to inflation. I'm serious, watch just to make sure, 94 00:06:02,417 --> 00:06:05,937 Speaker 1: like what he's saying is the pandemic is distinct from 95 00:06:05,977 --> 00:06:08,497 Speaker 1: the spending in response to the pandemic, and he does 96 00:06:08,537 --> 00:06:16,057 Speaker 1: not believe the size of spending matter with regard to inflation. Again, no, no, 97 00:06:17,257 --> 00:06:21,097 Speaker 1: spending does not matter when it comes inflation. Spending money, 98 00:06:21,257 --> 00:06:25,097 Speaker 1: the federal government spending money, printing, spending money. That is 99 00:06:25,177 --> 00:06:29,017 Speaker 1: the thing that causes inflation. But the Democrats just refused 100 00:06:29,057 --> 00:06:31,137 Speaker 1: to believe this because they think that money comes from 101 00:06:31,137 --> 00:06:33,777 Speaker 1: like the magic money tree somewhere. And then if only 102 00:06:33,817 --> 00:06:36,297 Speaker 1: the big bad rich people, even though the super rich 103 00:06:36,337 --> 00:06:38,337 Speaker 1: people are mostly Democrats, if the rich people just paid 104 00:06:38,377 --> 00:06:40,337 Speaker 1: more in taxes, the money tree would be even bigger 105 00:06:40,657 --> 00:06:42,377 Speaker 1: and we'd all be fine. We can spend whatever one 106 00:06:42,417 --> 00:06:45,737 Speaker 1: everyone gets free stuff. Everything's great. They live in a fantasy, 107 00:06:46,017 --> 00:06:48,457 Speaker 1: as you know, but it's unfortunately a very destructive one. 108 00:06:49,017 --> 00:06:52,737 Speaker 1: And then there's this Biden today telling us that while 109 00:06:52,817 --> 00:06:56,777 Speaker 1: there's a baby formula shortage and really high inflation, you know, 110 00:06:56,817 --> 00:06:59,017 Speaker 1: we need to be focused on that fight abroad that 111 00:06:59,177 --> 00:07:02,057 Speaker 1: Ukrainians are doing, because that's a fight for all of 112 00:07:02,097 --> 00:07:06,577 Speaker 1: democracy or something. Watch right now, America is fighting on 113 00:07:06,657 --> 00:07:12,617 Speaker 1: two fronts. At home, it's inflation prices. Abroad, it's helping 114 00:07:12,697 --> 00:07:15,977 Speaker 1: Ukrainians defend their democracy and feeding those who are left 115 00:07:16,057 --> 00:07:19,777 Speaker 1: hungry around the world because Russian atrocities exist. And Jeff 116 00:07:20,137 --> 00:07:23,897 Speaker 1: and the American farmers understand Putin's war has has has 117 00:07:24,057 --> 00:07:29,297 Speaker 1: cut off critical sources of food. We're not We're not 118 00:07:29,377 --> 00:07:33,737 Speaker 1: fighting Putin. I wouldn't start to indicate that that's what 119 00:07:33,777 --> 00:07:36,417 Speaker 1: we're trying to do. What we are doing, the Ukrainians 120 00:07:36,417 --> 00:07:40,897 Speaker 1: are fighting Russia and Vladimir Putin, and we wish them well. 121 00:07:41,177 --> 00:07:44,297 Speaker 1: But apparently this administration, the Biden regime, has a lot 122 00:07:44,377 --> 00:07:46,937 Speaker 1: more mind than just that. As you know, they've already 123 00:07:46,937 --> 00:07:51,737 Speaker 1: given them billions of dollars in weapons, munitions and humanitarian 124 00:07:51,737 --> 00:07:54,257 Speaker 1: a The New York Times are reporting here that the 125 00:07:54,297 --> 00:07:58,937 Speaker 1: Democrat majority House just passed fourteen billion dollars more in 126 00:07:59,137 --> 00:08:02,057 Speaker 1: Ukraine aid. Very few questions asked about where this is going. 127 00:08:02,137 --> 00:08:06,097 Speaker 1: What it's forty billion dollars writing in a check writing 128 00:08:06,657 --> 00:08:08,417 Speaker 1: like they found this in the couch cushions, you know, 129 00:08:08,497 --> 00:08:12,417 Speaker 1: forty billion here, forty billion there. Eventually, even Democrats will 130 00:08:12,417 --> 00:08:14,057 Speaker 1: have to make this adds up to real money, right 131 00:08:14,137 --> 00:08:18,017 Speaker 1: as the old joke goes, or they'll just try to 132 00:08:19,177 --> 00:08:23,537 Speaker 1: browbeat you with the one Bible verse that Nancy Pelosi 133 00:08:23,697 --> 00:08:26,177 Speaker 1: is capable of conjuring up in a moment like this. 134 00:08:26,657 --> 00:08:30,577 Speaker 1: She said this one before. By the way, here you go, Pope, 135 00:08:30,657 --> 00:08:33,697 Speaker 1: Nancy has some thoughts on why you should be having 136 00:08:33,737 --> 00:08:36,937 Speaker 1: your tax dollars fund the war in Ukraine wash the 137 00:08:37,097 --> 00:08:41,457 Speaker 1: impact that it is having on food for the world. 138 00:08:41,937 --> 00:08:45,417 Speaker 1: So when you're home thinking what is this all about, 139 00:08:45,577 --> 00:08:49,537 Speaker 1: just think about when I was hungry, you fed me 140 00:08:49,857 --> 00:08:54,697 Speaker 1: in the Gospel of Matthew.

We think the quickest way to bring this 186 00:11:25,537 --> 00:11:27,537 Speaker 1: war to an end is to make sure that Ukraine 187 00:11:27,577 --> 00:11:31,057 Speaker 1: can defend its territory and its sovereignty, and a combination 188 00:11:31,097 --> 00:11:35,577 Speaker 1: of a military assistance and tightening the economic sanctions, we 189 00:11:35,657 --> 00:11:37,537 Speaker 1: believe is the quickest way to bring this to an end. 190 00:11:38,497 --> 00:11:43,737 Speaker 1: Congressman Schiff of California justifying the forty billion dollar aid 191 00:11:43,817 --> 00:11:47,417 Speaker 1: package passed by Congress today. Of course, forty billion dollars 192 00:11:47,417 --> 00:11:50,257 Speaker 1: is just fine to defend Ukraine's borders, but an eight 193 00:11:50,297 --> 00:11:53,857 Speaker 1: billion dollar wall to defend our border too much to ask, 194 00:11:53,937 --> 00:11:56,377 Speaker 1: The Libs say, thank you. There are still some members 195 00:11:56,377 --> 00:11:59,577 Speaker 1: of Congress who are trying to put America first. Earlier today, 196 00:11:59,817 --> 00:12:04,777 Speaker 1: Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky, who voted against the spending bill, tweeted, 197 00:12:05,337 --> 00:12:09,097 Speaker 1: counting last night's rushed vote, Congress has now spent more 198 00:12:09,137 --> 00:12:12,977 Speaker 1: money on Ukraine in six months then we spend on 199 00:12:13,017 --> 00:12:16,377 Speaker 1: all US roads and bridges in a year. Something to 200 00:12:16,377 --> 00:12:18,537 Speaker 1: think about the next time you're stuck in traffic or 201 00:12:18,617 --> 00:12:22,257 Speaker 1: replacing a bent Rim I mean now candidate for US 202 00:12:22,297 --> 00:12:25,177 Speaker 1: Center in the state of Arkansas, veteran of the United 203 00:12:25,217 --> 00:12:30,337 Speaker 1: States Army, Jake Beckett, Jake, thanks for being with us. Heys, 204 00:12:30,337 --> 00:12:33,297 Speaker 1: you're having me bug. So what do you think about 205 00:12:33,297 --> 00:12:34,977 Speaker 1: when you say I mean, you're a guy who served, 206 00:12:35,137 --> 00:12:40,497 Speaker 1: you were overseas. You understand the need for our national defense. 207 00:12:40,697 --> 00:12:45,377 Speaker 1: But forty billion dollars for Ukraine When people can't find 208 00:12:45,977 --> 00:12:48,857 Speaker 1: all of the country baby formula and are in a 209 00:12:48,937 --> 00:12:54,617 Speaker 1: panic over it feels like our priorities a little bit off. Well, yeah, 210 00:12:54,657 --> 00:12:59,217 Speaker 1: you know, Washington is broken when we're experiencing a baby 211 00:12:59,257 --> 00:13:03,257 Speaker 1: formula crisis. Here in this country, we have record amounts 212 00:13:03,257 --> 00:13:06,377 Speaker 1: of fitnill and illegal immigrants coming over ours of the border, 213 00:13:06,737 --> 00:13:09,617 Speaker 1: and we're sending forty billion dollars to the war torn 214 00:13:09,737 --> 00:13:13,497 Speaker 1: blood lands of eastern Europe rather than defending our own 215 00:13:13,617 --> 00:13:19,617 Speaker 1: territorial sovereignty. Congressman, Shift, it's absolutely insulting. It's a disgrace. 216 00:13:19,817 --> 00:13:22,257 Speaker 1: And you know, when I talk to voters in the 217 00:13:22,297 --> 00:13:25,257 Speaker 1: state of Arkansas, the people of Arkansas, you wanted to 218 00:13:25,257 --> 00:13:30,297 Speaker 1: guess how many times they brought up defending Ukraine's territorial sovereignty. Well, 219 00:13:30,337 --> 00:13:33,057 Speaker 1: the answer is zero. They care about the fact that, hey, 220 00:13:33,137 --> 00:13:35,297 Speaker 1: I'm thirty three years old, buck, the number one killer 221 00:13:35,377 --> 00:13:38,937 Speaker 1: of people in my age democrapic demograph traffic in Arkansas 222 00:13:39,457 --> 00:13:42,177 Speaker 1: is drug overdosesce I talked to county sheriff's here in 223 00:13:42,217 --> 00:13:45,137 Speaker 1: Arkansas and they the amount of fitnil that comes into 224 00:13:45,177 --> 00:13:49,777 Speaker 1: our state up by thirty directly from the US Mexico border. 225 00:13:50,057 --> 00:13:52,937 Speaker 1: Not to mention that the number of child and sexual 226 00:13:53,177 --> 00:13:57,297 Speaker 1: traffickers that come from Mexico. It's absolutely astounding. And so 227 00:13:57,337 --> 00:14:00,737 Speaker 1: it's an absolute disgrace to see these members of Congress 228 00:14:00,777 --> 00:14:04,497 Speaker 1: in both parties, mind you, the DC uniparty. You know, 229 00:14:04,537 --> 00:14:07,057 Speaker 1: all they can agree on is that we should spend 230 00:14:07,177 --> 00:14:12,537 Speaker 1: forty billion dollars on these corrupt foreign governments rather than 231 00:14:12,577 --> 00:14:17,657 Speaker 1: solving the existential crises that are manifesting themselves on our shores. 232 00:14:18,857 --> 00:14:22,937 Speaker 1: Now there's also been something of a shift, it seems, Jake. 233 00:14:23,297 --> 00:14:26,217 Speaker 1: Along with the forty billion dollars, which I believe is 234 00:14:26,257 --> 00:14:29,537 Speaker 1: in addition to something like ten billion dollars of Ukraine 235 00:14:29,737 --> 00:14:36,257 Speaker 1: AID already weapons human humanitarian assistance, we also seem to 236 00:14:36,297 --> 00:14:39,137 Speaker 1: have taken or at least based on some of the 237 00:14:39,177 --> 00:14:42,097 Speaker 1: words and Biden administration officials like the Secretary of Defense. 238 00:14:42,697 --> 00:14:46,177 Speaker 1: And then there's elected Democrats like Nancy Pelosi who are 239 00:14:46,177 --> 00:14:50,497 Speaker 1: saying that we need to effectively punish Russia and turn 240 00:14:50,577 --> 00:14:54,617 Speaker 1: this into an open proxy war. You've served, you know 241 00:14:54,657 --> 00:14:57,057 Speaker 1: what combat's like. What do you think of when you're 242 00:14:57,097 --> 00:15:00,297 Speaker 1: hearing people who are never going to serve obviously many 243 00:15:00,297 --> 00:15:02,537 Speaker 1: of them have never and would not ever serve, who 244 00:15:02,577 --> 00:15:04,857 Speaker 1: were talking about using this as a proxy war, and 245 00:15:04,937 --> 00:15:09,537 Speaker 1: we've got Russia with thousands of nuclear weapons pointed at us. Well, 246 00:15:09,537 --> 00:15:11,937 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. I mean, one of the greatest traditions 247 00:15:11,977 --> 00:15:16,617 Speaker 1: in the DC establishment, the uniparty is you know, virtue signaling, 248 00:15:17,017 --> 00:15:20,977 Speaker 1: you know, being keyboard warriors while sending someone else's son 249 00:15:21,577 --> 00:15:25,617 Speaker 1: to die in foreign wars, and just to to underscore 250 00:15:25,657 --> 00:15:28,337 Speaker 1: the impact of this economic crisis in this country. I mean, 251 00:15:28,577 --> 00:15:30,817 Speaker 1: you know, I recently left the US Army. I was 252 00:15:30,817 --> 00:15:33,057 Speaker 1: a rifle platoon, the leader with one hundred and first airborn, 253 00:15:33,097 --> 00:15:35,897 Speaker 1: as you mentioned. And you know the people who are impacted, 254 00:15:36,257 --> 00:15:39,817 Speaker 1: you know, by the skyrocketing inflation, by gas prices spiraling 255 00:15:39,897 --> 00:15:43,257 Speaker 1: out of control, by food prices, housing costs going out 256 00:15:43,257 --> 00:15:45,937 Speaker 1: of control. You know, it's people like the soldiers in 257 00:15:46,017 --> 00:15:48,297 Speaker 1: my little platoon who you know that they're not making 258 00:15:48,337 --> 00:15:50,057 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Puff they're making like twenty five 259 00:15:50,177 --> 00:15:52,977 Speaker 1: thirty thirty five thousand dollars a year, and whatever they 260 00:15:53,017 --> 00:15:56,057 Speaker 1: can save of that meager salary that's not spent on 261 00:15:56,097 --> 00:15:59,057 Speaker 1: themselves and their families. A lot of them send money 262 00:15:59,097 --> 00:16:02,497 Speaker 1: back home to their parents and grandparents because they can't 263 00:16:02,537 --> 00:16:05,657 Speaker 1: make ends meet, and so these costs, it affects them. 264 00:16:05,857 --> 00:16:08,537 Speaker 1: And so when I see Republicans and Democrats and the 265 00:16:08,617 --> 00:16:12,737 Speaker 1: establishment come together and spend forty billion dollars, not to 266 00:16:12,777 --> 00:16:15,817 Speaker 1: mention the other hundreds of billions of dollars in wasted 267 00:16:15,937 --> 00:16:20,737 Speaker 1: foreign aid go overseas every single year, it makes me sick. 268 00:16:20,777 --> 00:16:23,657 Speaker 1: And the American people, the people of Arkansas are right 269 00:16:23,737 --> 00:16:27,137 Speaker 1: to be absolutely disgusted by this. I'm going to change it. 270 00:16:27,217 --> 00:16:29,617 Speaker 1: And look, that's why the establishment here in Arkansas is 271 00:16:29,697 --> 00:16:31,937 Speaker 1: lined up to try to take me out. I mean 272 00:16:31,977 --> 00:16:35,457 Speaker 1: they're spending millions of dollars. They've got four superpacks running 273 00:16:35,577 --> 00:16:39,417 Speaker 1: NonStop attack ads against me in Arkansas because they know 274 00:16:39,497 --> 00:16:41,857 Speaker 1: that I'm the America first candidate in this race that 275 00:16:41,937 --> 00:16:44,537 Speaker 1: if we forced this runoff, I'm going to win against 276 00:16:44,577 --> 00:16:49,297 Speaker 1: a twenty year incumbent who's little more than an establishment stooge. 277 00:16:49,457 --> 00:16:52,337 Speaker 1: He's going to do what leadership and the uniparty tells 278 00:16:52,417 --> 00:16:54,817 Speaker 1: him to do. And they know they have to take 279 00:16:54,857 --> 00:16:56,737 Speaker 1: me out Buck, because I'll be one of those guys 280 00:16:56,737 --> 00:17:00,177 Speaker 1: like Thomas Massey who's in Congress actually is swinging the 281 00:17:00,217 --> 00:17:03,337 Speaker 1: sword and telling the truth. I'll be one of those guys, 282 00:17:03,417 --> 00:17:05,257 Speaker 1: and they know they can't let me win, but we're 283 00:17:05,257 --> 00:17:09,497 Speaker 1: gonna win anyway. Speaking of your fight here or too 284 00:17:10,177 --> 00:17:14,257 Speaker 1: win the Senate seed in Arkansas, switching gears for a 285 00:17:14,297 --> 00:17:17,057 Speaker 1: moment in your primary race for the GOP nomination for 286 00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:21,377 Speaker 1: Senate balance being used around the state have been misprinted. 287 00:17:21,777 --> 00:17:25,857 Speaker 1: They have your name as Jack Becket, which you know 288 00:17:26,057 --> 00:17:28,377 Speaker 1: is a cool name, but your name is actually Jake. 289 00:17:28,897 --> 00:17:33,337 Speaker 1: Your campaign is filing a lawsuit against Arkansas Secretary of 290 00:17:33,377 --> 00:17:36,977 Speaker 1: State John Thurston. I mean, I would I gotta tell you. 291 00:17:37,017 --> 00:17:39,537 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a guy works in media, but I'd 292 00:17:39,577 --> 00:17:42,017 Speaker 1: be pretty annoyed if if this happened to me somewhere 293 00:17:42,057 --> 00:17:45,017 Speaker 1: and you're running for office for US Senate. They can't 294 00:17:45,057 --> 00:17:48,777 Speaker 1: smell your name, right, what's going on? Well, think about this, Buck, 295 00:17:48,817 --> 00:17:50,417 Speaker 1: and let me just set the table for you. So 296 00:17:50,697 --> 00:17:53,777 Speaker 1: we had no idea about this. We were early voting 297 00:17:53,857 --> 00:17:57,057 Speaker 1: started in Arkansas on Monday morning, and immediately we started 298 00:17:57,097 --> 00:18:01,897 Speaker 1: getting forensic texts and phone calls and social media dms 299 00:18:02,337 --> 00:18:06,977 Speaker 1: from outraged voters in multiple counties in Arkansas because they 300 00:18:07,017 --> 00:18:10,377 Speaker 1: saw We have screenshots to confirm that name and you 301 00:18:10,417 --> 00:18:13,417 Speaker 1: can see it right there. It's listed as Jack Beckett, 302 00:18:13,657 --> 00:18:18,937 Speaker 1: not Jake Beckett, in multiple major Arkansas counties, and we 303 00:18:18,977 --> 00:18:21,977 Speaker 1: followed a lawsuit. We're suing the Secretary of State, the 304 00:18:22,017 --> 00:18:25,777 Speaker 1: state Board of Elections, and multiple county officials because we 305 00:18:25,817 --> 00:18:28,977 Speaker 1: have proof, we have cold hard proof Buck, in the 306 00:18:29,017 --> 00:18:32,137 Speaker 1: form of email traffic, that they knew about this weeks ago, 307 00:18:32,617 --> 00:18:36,097 Speaker 1: and not only did they not inform me or my 308 00:18:36,257 --> 00:18:39,857 Speaker 1: campaign or my opponents, or the media or the voting public. 309 00:18:40,257 --> 00:18:43,417 Speaker 1: They literally covered it up, swept it under the rug, 310 00:18:43,697 --> 00:18:46,737 Speaker 1: and hoped that nobody would find out. But we found out. 311 00:18:46,777 --> 00:18:50,417 Speaker 1: We called them red handed. In the moment we called 312 00:18:50,457 --> 00:18:52,777 Speaker 1: them and confronted them, and they knew they'd been caught. 313 00:18:53,057 --> 00:18:56,537 Speaker 1: They immediately spring into action, buck and they updated their 314 00:18:56,577 --> 00:19:00,657 Speaker 1: campaign website. They put they put signs on voting machines, 315 00:19:00,697 --> 00:19:02,577 Speaker 1: even though they couldn't correct the voting machines. That's a 316 00:19:02,617 --> 00:19:06,377 Speaker 1: separate issue. But they knew this was happening, and they 317 00:19:06,497 --> 00:19:08,657 Speaker 1: tried to cover it up for three weeks, and then 318 00:19:08,697 --> 00:19:11,577 Speaker 1: once they knew we caught them, they tried to cover 319 00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:13,577 Speaker 1: their tracks, but we filed losses. We're gonna get to 320 00:19:13,617 --> 00:19:16,057 Speaker 1: the bottom of this because I think it's pretty clear 321 00:19:16,057 --> 00:19:18,577 Speaker 1: that an Arkansas was happening. This is an old school, 322 00:19:19,057 --> 00:19:24,137 Speaker 1: bare knuckled political brawl, okay, and they messed with the 323 00:19:24,177 --> 00:19:26,857 Speaker 1: wrong guy. Because I'm gonna do business. This business is 324 00:19:26,857 --> 00:19:29,137 Speaker 1: being done. I'm ready for a fight. I was born 325 00:19:29,257 --> 00:19:32,377 Speaker 1: for the storm because guess what, like Senator Boseman, he 326 00:19:32,417 --> 00:19:36,337 Speaker 1: couldn't beat me with his swamp endorsements. He couldn't beat 327 00:19:36,417 --> 00:19:39,457 Speaker 1: me with the millions of dollars in superpack attack ads. 328 00:19:39,857 --> 00:19:42,097 Speaker 1: He refused, he was scared to debate me. He couldn't 329 00:19:42,097 --> 00:19:44,337 Speaker 1: beat me on the debate stage. And so now he's 330 00:19:44,337 --> 00:19:45,897 Speaker 1: just like, well, I guess I gotta steal this election. 331 00:19:46,457 --> 00:19:49,297 Speaker 1: So he's got his longtime political ally, Secretary of State 332 00:19:49,417 --> 00:19:52,897 Speaker 1: John Thurston and many other election officials who we have 333 00:19:53,097 --> 00:19:55,857 Speaker 1: proof it's our LOSSU. You can look it up online, 334 00:19:55,857 --> 00:19:58,577 Speaker 1: and we have proof that they knew about this weeks 335 00:19:58,577 --> 00:20:01,697 Speaker 1: ago and they didn't change the thing. They didn't even try. 336 00:20:01,897 --> 00:20:04,097 Speaker 1: They tried to cover it up. We caught them, and 337 00:20:04,137 --> 00:20:05,857 Speaker 1: we're going to expose that because Buck And just to 338 00:20:05,897 --> 00:20:08,177 Speaker 1: finish my thought, here's the deal. I mean, if we 339 00:20:08,257 --> 00:20:09,377 Speaker 1: got to know each other a little bit over the 340 00:20:09,457 --> 00:20:13,577 Speaker 1: course this campaign. I mean I spent ten months, I 341 00:20:13,697 --> 00:20:17,057 Speaker 1: put my name on the ballot, my family and my supporters, 342 00:20:17,497 --> 00:20:20,137 Speaker 1: you know, we've been through this battle together. We put 343 00:20:20,177 --> 00:20:23,617 Speaker 1: our time, ever, heart, soul, passion money behind this campaign. 344 00:20:23,977 --> 00:20:25,737 Speaker 1: And for us to come down to the wire here 345 00:20:25,777 --> 00:20:28,817 Speaker 1: two weeks before the election and to have my name 346 00:20:28,937 --> 00:20:33,177 Speaker 1: wrong on tens of thousands of ballots in Arkansas that 347 00:20:33,257 --> 00:20:37,097 Speaker 1: can't be corrected. This is an absolute disgrace and We 348 00:20:37,217 --> 00:20:39,057 Speaker 1: have to fix this because I don't want this to 349 00:20:39,057 --> 00:20:42,257 Speaker 1: happen to any other candidate in Arkansas ever again. I 350 00:20:42,297 --> 00:20:45,377 Speaker 1: don't care what party you're in, what campaign, what race 351 00:20:45,457 --> 00:20:48,657 Speaker 1: you're running for. This should never happen to any candidate 352 00:20:48,857 --> 00:20:50,897 Speaker 1: ever again. And I'm gonna get to the bottom of 353 00:20:50,937 --> 00:20:54,177 Speaker 1: it day in the fight.

Not as rare as you'd think. 362 00:21:13,257 --> 00:21:15,577 Speaker 1: According to the FBI, this crime is growing faster than 363 00:21:15,617 --> 00:21:18,537 Speaker 1: credit card fraud, and you're not covered by homeowners insurance 364 00:21:18,617 --> 00:21:22,137 Speaker 1: or comment at any theft programs.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is taking a 375 00:21:50,257 --> 00:21:53,977 Speaker 1: wrecking ball to the Biden administration's handling them inflation, tweeting quote, 376 00:21:54,097 --> 00:21:57,057 Speaker 1: the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into 377 00:21:57,057 --> 00:22:01,217 Speaker 1: an already overheated inflationary economy, and only mansion saved them 378 00:22:01,217 --> 00:22:04,937 Speaker 1: from themselves. Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts 379 00:22:04,977 --> 00:22:09,857 Speaker 1: the least affluent. Misdirection doesn't help the country. This is 380 00:22:10,097 --> 00:22:13,817 Speaker 1: second time this week Bezos has blasted Biden's build back 381 00:22:13,857 --> 00:22:15,817 Speaker 1: Better plan. It looks like he's not stopping there. We'll 382 00:22:15,817 --> 00:22:26,097 Speaker 1: get into it in tonight's Buckbrief. So let's start with 383 00:22:26,137 --> 00:22:31,657 Speaker 1: the basics. What causes inflation? Government spending? No serious person, 384 00:22:31,737 --> 00:22:34,697 Speaker 1: no real economists, or anybody else who understands the basics 385 00:22:34,737 --> 00:22:38,537 Speaker 1: of economic theory would tell you otherwise. It's a issue 386 00:22:38,537 --> 00:22:42,537 Speaker 1: of monetary policy, straight up and straightforward. So then why 387 00:22:42,657 --> 00:22:46,257 Speaker 1: is the Biden administration pretending it's all these other things. Well, 388 00:22:46,417 --> 00:22:49,257 Speaker 1: as you know, the Biden regime likes to spend a 389 00:22:49,297 --> 00:22:52,177 Speaker 1: whole lot of money, and they like to spend on 390 00:22:52,297 --> 00:22:55,537 Speaker 1: things that they view as either being social justice or 391 00:22:55,577 --> 00:22:59,337 Speaker 1: climate change related, just spreading the wealth around the usual 392 00:22:59,577 --> 00:23:05,337 Speaker 1: class warfare nonsense. Turns out that actually would make inflation worse. 393 00:23:05,857 --> 00:23:07,857 Speaker 1: And we should all know that. That should be obvious. 394 00:23:08,097 --> 00:23:12,897 Speaker 1: And in fact, it is so beast that even Democrat 395 00:23:12,977 --> 00:23:15,097 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, 396 00:23:16,017 --> 00:23:18,457 Speaker 1: has started to take the Biden White House to task 397 00:23:18,497 --> 00:23:20,377 Speaker 1: for this. The White House put in a statement on 398 00:23:20,657 --> 00:23:23,137 Speaker 1: bezos tweets. By the way, it doesn't require a huge 399 00:23:23,177 --> 00:23:25,697 Speaker 1: loop leap to figure out why one of the wealthiest 400 00:23:25,697 --> 00:23:28,377 Speaker 1: individuals on Earth opposes an economic agenda from the middle 401 00:23:28,417 --> 00:23:31,777 Speaker 1: class that cuts some of the biggest cost families fight, 402 00:23:32,137 --> 00:23:35,177 Speaker 1: fights inflation for the long haul, whatever the hell that means, 403 00:23:35,417 --> 00:23:38,737 Speaker 1: and adds the historic deficit reduction the president is achieving 404 00:23:39,097 --> 00:23:41,657 Speaker 1: by asking the richest taxpayers and corporations to pay their 405 00:23:41,657 --> 00:23:44,097 Speaker 1: fair share, which is the stupidest talking point in the planet. 406 00:23:44,217 --> 00:23:46,537 Speaker 1: It's also on surprising. This tweet comes after the President 407 00:23:46,577 --> 00:23:51,737 Speaker 1: met with labor organizers, including Amazon employees. So, White House, 408 00:23:51,777 --> 00:23:55,937 Speaker 1: you're taking shots directly at Jeff Bezos, and they're trying 409 00:23:55,937 --> 00:23:59,057 Speaker 1: to pretend that, first of all, this notion of fighting 410 00:23:59,057 --> 00:24:01,777 Speaker 1: inflation for the long haul by raising taxes on the rich, 411 00:24:01,817 --> 00:24:04,137 Speaker 1: that's going to fight inflation for the long haul. What 412 00:24:04,217 --> 00:24:07,417 Speaker 1: about inflation over the next six months? What about inflation 413 00:24:07,457 --> 00:24:10,417 Speaker 1: while people can't actually afford groceries the way they used 414 00:24:10,457 --> 00:24:12,577 Speaker 1: to be able to before Joe Biden was present. And 415 00:24:12,617 --> 00:24:14,897 Speaker 1: I don't want to think about any of that. Bezos, 416 00:24:14,937 --> 00:24:16,977 Speaker 1: for his part, it's not sitting back and taking this, 417 00:24:17,137 --> 00:24:20,897 Speaker 1: which was good to see. He replied to the White 418 00:24:20,897 --> 00:24:23,977 Speaker 1: House a statement, Look a squirrel, this is the White 419 00:24:23,977 --> 00:24:27,737 Speaker 1: House a statement about my recent tweets. They understandably want 420 00:24:27,737 --> 00:24:31,217 Speaker 1: to muddy the topic. But no, inflation hurts the neediest 421 00:24:31,217 --> 00:24:35,097 Speaker 1: the most. But unions aren't causing inflation, and neither are 422 00:24:35,137 --> 00:24:40,577 Speaker 1: wealthy people. Remember, the administration tried their best to add 423 00:24:40,577 --> 00:24:44,617 Speaker 1: another three point five trillion dollars to federal spending. They failed, 424 00:24:44,617 --> 00:24:47,017 Speaker 1: But if they had succeeded, inflation would be even higher 425 00:24:47,017 --> 00:24:49,337 Speaker 1: than it is today. An inflation today is at a 426 00:24:49,377 --> 00:24:52,937 Speaker 1: forty year high. Now this is a roundhouse kick to 427 00:24:52,937 --> 00:24:56,097 Speaker 1: the face of the Biden regime, There's no question about it. 428 00:24:56,457 --> 00:25:01,297 Speaker 1: When somebody who not only built and runs the largest 429 00:25:01,417 --> 00:25:06,617 Speaker 1: products and goods company really in the world, Amazon is 430 00:25:06,657 --> 00:25:09,617 Speaker 1: saying that inflation is a huge problem and that it 431 00:25:09,657 --> 00:25:13,537 Speaker 1: would be worse if the Democrats actually got what they wanted, 432 00:25:14,097 --> 00:25:17,017 Speaker 1: which is clearly true. People sit up and take notice. 433 00:25:17,417 --> 00:25:19,297 Speaker 1: So I understand that as bad as inflation is, what 434 00:25:19,377 --> 00:25:22,737 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos was telling you is that the Democrats fought 435 00:25:22,937 --> 00:25:28,657 Speaker 1: tooth and nail to make inflation worse. They wanted to 436 00:25:28,697 --> 00:25:33,177 Speaker 1: spend trillions more additionally beyond where we already are, and 437 00:25:33,217 --> 00:25:35,337 Speaker 1: if we're not for Joe Mansion standing in their way, 438 00:25:35,857 --> 00:25:38,977 Speaker 1: they would have been able to Joe Mansion goes along 439 00:25:38,977 --> 00:25:42,697 Speaker 1: with this planet, Christen Cinema as well, and all of 440 00:25:42,737 --> 00:25:46,017 Speaker 1: a sudden you have additional trillions of government spending on 441 00:25:46,057 --> 00:25:49,617 Speaker 1: the books, and what would happen. Inflation would rise even more. 442 00:25:50,297 --> 00:25:53,937 Speaker 1: So this is a real political liability for Democrats because 443 00:25:53,977 --> 00:25:55,497 Speaker 1: it makes clear that not only have they done a 444 00:25:55,537 --> 00:25:59,737 Speaker 1: crappy job. If they weren't stopped from doing exactly what 445 00:25:59,777 --> 00:26:04,177 Speaker 1: they wanted to do, even more so, the inflation situation 446 00:26:04,257 --> 00:26:08,817 Speaker 1: would be even worse than it currently is now. Alongside 447 00:26:08,817 --> 00:26:12,097 Speaker 1: the inflation problem, of course, there's the situation of the 448 00:26:12,417 --> 00:26:17,177 Speaker 1: baby formula shortage out there right now. Now. Abbot put 449 00:26:17,217 --> 00:26:21,617 Speaker 1: out Abbot Labs put out something on baby formula saying 450 00:26:21,657 --> 00:26:24,017 Speaker 1: that it was there was an exhaustive and thrown. Now 451 00:26:24,057 --> 00:26:25,977 Speaker 1: this is from the company, so take that with a 452 00:26:25,977 --> 00:26:29,057 Speaker 1: grain assault. They said that there has been no actual 453 00:26:29,177 --> 00:26:34,017 Speaker 1: connection to the two deaths of infants and the bacteria 454 00:26:34,097 --> 00:26:38,817 Speaker 1: that was found in their systems an actual contamination of 455 00:26:38,857 --> 00:26:43,137 Speaker 1: the Abbot facility, but it was shut down anyway by 456 00:26:43,177 --> 00:26:46,097 Speaker 1: the FDA and hasn't been able to get back online. 457 00:26:46,497 --> 00:26:48,657 Speaker 1: Now we're being told that Abbot Labs is going to 458 00:26:48,737 --> 00:26:50,897 Speaker 1: be able to put more formula on the shelves than 459 00:26:50,897 --> 00:26:55,137 Speaker 1: a matter of weeks the Biden administration has gone from 460 00:26:55,137 --> 00:26:57,577 Speaker 1: in the last ten days or so, this is not 461 00:26:57,657 --> 00:27:00,297 Speaker 1: our problem. We can't do anything about this too. Oh no, no, 462 00:27:00,297 --> 00:27:03,217 Speaker 1: don't worry, we'll fix this. Because they realized people were outraged, 463 00:27:03,657 --> 00:27:06,737 Speaker 1: and yeah, it does seem very strange to put it 464 00:27:06,777 --> 00:27:09,297 Speaker 1: mildly to people that the Biden regime is so quick 465 00:27:09,297 --> 00:27:11,737 Speaker 1: to send forty bill dollars to Ukraine, but doesn't seem 466 00:27:11,817 --> 00:27:16,297 Speaker 1: all that bothered by the realities of the baby formula 467 00:27:16,457 --> 00:27:19,497 Speaker 1: shortage where people are scrambling, parents are desperate and scrambling 468 00:27:19,497 --> 00:27:22,737 Speaker 1: to try to get baby formula because it just isn't 469 00:27:22,777 --> 00:27:26,777 Speaker 1: on the shelf in so many places. Well, the HHS 470 00:27:27,657 --> 00:27:31,537 Speaker 1: as stepped in, and of course the federal government showing 471 00:27:31,577 --> 00:27:34,057 Speaker 1: us how incompetent they are. They stepped in on the 472 00:27:34,057 --> 00:27:36,697 Speaker 1: baby formula shortage and here's how it looks on the 473 00:27:36,817 --> 00:27:41,177 Speaker 1: HHS website. The Barrett Biden Harris Administration is working to 474 00:27:41,257 --> 00:27:43,537 Speaker 1: ensure that infant formula is safe and available for families 475 00:27:43,537 --> 00:27:46,897 Speaker 1: across the country. Yesterday, President Biden spoke with retailers and 476 00:27:46,977 --> 00:27:50,977 Speaker 1: manufacturers including Walmart, Target, Wreckett, and Gerber to discuss ways 477 00:27:51,017 --> 00:27:53,857 Speaker 1: to get more formula quickly and safely in the store shelves. 478 00:27:54,337 --> 00:27:56,977 Speaker 1: Thanks to these efforts, manufacturers have ramped up production thirty 479 00:27:57,017 --> 00:28:01,417 Speaker 1: to fifty percent, bringing total production today above pre recall levels. 480 00:28:01,777 --> 00:28:03,697 Speaker 1: The different mix of products and size is now available 481 00:28:03,697 --> 00:28:07,137 Speaker 1: in the market, so they do have In fact, they 482 00:28:07,177 --> 00:28:09,657 Speaker 1: did have levers that they could push on this, according 483 00:28:09,657 --> 00:28:12,737 Speaker 1: to Biden and administration, and AHHS now has a website 484 00:28:12,737 --> 00:28:14,977 Speaker 1: about this. Apparently the website is also having some problems. 485 00:28:15,497 --> 00:28:17,257 Speaker 1: But then why do they pretend that this wasn't their 486 00:28:17,297 --> 00:28:22,697 Speaker 1: problem at all a week ago? Because honestly, the incompetence 487 00:28:22,777 --> 00:28:25,137 Speaker 1: of this Biden administration, the people that are in charge, 488 00:28:25,817 --> 00:28:27,617 Speaker 1: is hard to overstate. I mean, these people are just 489 00:28:27,737 --> 00:28:30,337 Speaker 1: not very bright. That's really where we are with the 490 00:28:30,337 --> 00:28:33,737 Speaker 1: Biden administration. That's a situation as it is unfolding. One 491 00:28:33,737 --> 00:28:34,737 Speaker 1: of the thing I want to put out there for 492 00:28:34,737 --> 00:28:37,297 Speaker 1: your American households right now, I'm concerned. I'm seeing real 493 00:28:37,337 --> 00:28:40,577 Speaker 1: warnings we could have a major downturn of the housing market. 494 00:28:40,577 --> 00:28:41,977 Speaker 1: I think about what that would do the economy and 495 00:28:42,137 --> 00:28:45,457 Speaker 1: be heading for stagflation and recession. Who knows. American household 496 00:28:45,497 --> 00:28:47,737 Speaker 1: debt increased the first quarter of this year. Total household 497 00:28:47,737 --> 00:28:50,777 Speaker 1: debt increased two hundred and sixty six billion, reaching fifteen 498 00:28:50,777 --> 00:28:53,457 Speaker 1: point eight four trillion. That is an increase of one 499 00:28:53,457 --> 00:28:56,137 Speaker 1: point seven trillion from the out of twenty nineteen. People 500 00:28:56,217 --> 00:28:58,097 Speaker 1: have a lot of debt, a lot of household debt 501 00:28:58,217 --> 00:29:01,537 Speaker 1: right now, and if housing values go down dramatically, we 502 00:29:01,577 --> 00:29:09,577 Speaker 1: could see the real stormy waters in the economy. Ben, 503 00:29:09,657 --> 00:29:13,217 Speaker 1: Will you stopped charging us more for vegan building? When 504 00:29:13,257 --> 00:29:18,337 Speaker 1: will you stop breaking in huge profits? Clop customers, animals 505 00:29:18,377 --> 00:29:22,737 Speaker 1: and the environment suffered? When will you stop detalizing people 506 00:29:23,137 --> 00:29:28,897 Speaker 1: for their ethnicity, for their morals? The senseless of charge 507 00:29:29,377 --> 00:29:34,177 Speaker 1: hurts animals. That was Oscar and hominy An actor James Cromwell. 508 00:29:34,377 --> 00:29:38,897 Speaker 1: You've probably seen him in The Green Mile in Babe. 509 00:29:38,937 --> 00:29:42,297 Speaker 1: In succession, he was in a New York City Starbucks 510 00:29:42,377 --> 00:29:47,257 Speaker 1: there protesting their extra charge for vegan milk, which, as 511 00:29:47,257 --> 00:29:51,497 Speaker 1: we all know, is really vegetable juice. The succession started 512 00:29:51,577 --> 00:29:55,337 Speaker 1: dramatically superclude his hand to the coffee counter, saying the 513 00:29:55,417 --> 00:30:00,017 Speaker 1: chain was punishing customers who want milk alternatives like oat 514 00:30:00,177 --> 00:30:03,177 Speaker 1: or almond or soy. Of course you gotta throw soy 515 00:30:03,257 --> 00:30:08,457 Speaker 1: in there here with reaction. Danielle de Suza, host of Counterculture, Danielle, 516 00:30:08,497 --> 00:30:13,537 Speaker 1: good to see it, Thanks for having me. I gotta say, 517 00:30:13,577 --> 00:30:17,977 Speaker 1: of all the times, for this protest at a time 518 00:30:17,977 --> 00:30:20,017 Speaker 1: when and I know we can do the Oh it's 519 00:30:20,017 --> 00:30:21,937 Speaker 1: a what about is it? But no, no, there is 520 00:30:21,977 --> 00:30:29,577 Speaker 1: a nationwide baby formula shortage and instead of raising awareness 521 00:30:29,657 --> 00:30:33,737 Speaker 1: about that form of a milk, if you will. We 522 00:30:33,857 --> 00:30:38,017 Speaker 1: have an actor who's upset about the treatment of cows 523 00:30:38,417 --> 00:30:44,057 Speaker 1: and therefore this protest. Well, what's hilarious to me is 524 00:30:44,097 --> 00:30:47,217 Speaker 1: he literally thinks of himself as a true martyr. He thinks, Oh, 525 00:30:47,257 --> 00:30:49,257 Speaker 1: I'm a hero, I'm taking one for the team. I'm 526 00:30:49,257 --> 00:30:52,137 Speaker 1: really suffering by going to the Starbucks and gluing my 527 00:30:52,177 --> 00:30:54,057 Speaker 1: hand to the table and thinks, oh, you know, just 528 00:30:54,137 --> 00:30:56,737 Speaker 1: because my finger is warm out, my finger hurts. I'm 529 00:30:56,777 --> 00:30:59,337 Speaker 1: basically in the category of Mandela or Gandhi and I'm 530 00:30:59,337 --> 00:31:01,537 Speaker 1: really just going to stick it to Starbucks. And I 531 00:31:01,537 --> 00:31:03,577 Speaker 1: think what's also funny about it is Starbucks is a 532 00:31:03,657 --> 00:31:06,217 Speaker 1: leftist company run by Howard Schultz, who's a CEO. He's 533 00:31:06,217 --> 00:31:08,377 Speaker 1: a big leftist, and so this man thinks he's to 534 00:31:08,417 --> 00:31:09,697 Speaker 1: the left of him. So if they want to have 535 00:31:09,737 --> 00:31:14,177 Speaker 1: in with other leftists, then that's fine with me. And 536 00:31:14,697 --> 00:31:17,017 Speaker 1: here we are also at a time when, as I said, 537 00:31:17,057 --> 00:31:20,337 Speaker 1: there's the baby formula shortage. But you know, the White 538 00:31:20,337 --> 00:31:25,817 Speaker 1: House was asked about this today via the new Press Secretary, 539 00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:30,017 Speaker 1: and she laughed and said, I have no idea. I 540 00:31:30,097 --> 00:31:32,497 Speaker 1: have no idea. Who's actually in charge with the baby 541 00:31:32,617 --> 00:31:37,577 Speaker 1: formula shortage. This is somehow getting because of this actor, 542 00:31:37,777 --> 00:31:41,737 Speaker 1: because they because Peta has decided that today is the day. 543 00:31:41,777 --> 00:31:44,017 Speaker 1: And I gotta say, I feel like the timing is 544 00:31:44,017 --> 00:31:47,737 Speaker 1: almost not accidental. Peta is troll tweeting me as we speak, 545 00:31:48,017 --> 00:31:52,537 Speaker 1: which is amazing. They decide, Oh, you think it's a 546 00:31:52,537 --> 00:31:56,537 Speaker 1: big problem that babies don't have formula to drink, Well, 547 00:31:56,777 --> 00:32:00,217 Speaker 1: people aren't that nice to cows that are milk, So 548 00:32:00,337 --> 00:32:03,297 Speaker 1: let's complain about the lack not just I'm sorry. It's 549 00:32:03,297 --> 00:32:06,137 Speaker 1: not a lack of options. It's that soy milk or 550 00:32:06,177 --> 00:32:11,217 Speaker 1: almond milk is expensive, right. I mean, of course they 551 00:32:11,297 --> 00:32:13,537 Speaker 1: care more about this cow, just like how they care 552 00:32:13,577 --> 00:32:17,617 Speaker 1: more about, you know, these endangered animals, these embryos of 553 00:32:17,737 --> 00:32:19,817 Speaker 1: an eagle, than they do care about what not just 554 00:32:19,857 --> 00:32:22,817 Speaker 1: a preborn human, but a literal baby who is in 555 00:32:22,937 --> 00:32:24,697 Speaker 1: need of formula. And so I think we're at the 556 00:32:24,737 --> 00:32:27,937 Speaker 1: point where the Left is really just exited the reservation. 557 00:32:27,977 --> 00:32:30,577 Speaker 1: They actually don't care about the American people. And obviously 558 00:32:30,577 --> 00:32:32,577 Speaker 1: they don't even care about putting on a good show. 559 00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:35,217 Speaker 1: They don't care about the fact that protesting vegan milk 560 00:32:35,257 --> 00:32:37,377 Speaker 1: at Starbucks is just silly. I mean, if you are 561 00:32:37,417 --> 00:32:41,057 Speaker 1: literally buying five dollars lattes and getting expensive drinks at 562 00:32:41,057 --> 00:32:43,057 Speaker 1: that point, I mean, I think that you can buy 563 00:32:43,097 --> 00:32:45,577 Speaker 1: your favorite alternative milk, but no, they want to make 564 00:32:45,577 --> 00:32:48,817 Speaker 1: that the headline of their story. Then there was this, 565 00:32:48,857 --> 00:32:53,097 Speaker 1: I mean speaking of actors, actresses, celebrities that are getting 566 00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:56,097 Speaker 1: some attention today. I don't know if you even know this, Danielle, 567 00:32:56,137 --> 00:32:58,417 Speaker 1: if you've been buy Broadway theaters, I know you're a 568 00:32:58,457 --> 00:33:01,497 Speaker 1: New Yorker like me. But they still mask people up 569 00:33:01,537 --> 00:33:04,537 Speaker 1: in Broadway theaters, not only in the theater in line 570 00:33:04,617 --> 00:33:07,657 Speaker 1: to go into the theater, where they check everybody's tickets. 571 00:33:07,697 --> 00:33:11,257 Speaker 1: Outside they make sure everyone is masked up, which is 572 00:33:11,617 --> 00:33:15,137 Speaker 1: completely insane because all of these people are going to restaurants, bars, 573 00:33:15,497 --> 00:33:19,097 Speaker 1: workplace is unmasked all the time. But this is the 574 00:33:19,177 --> 00:33:24,377 Speaker 1: last holdout the lunatics, left wing lunatics of the Broadway world. 575 00:33:25,097 --> 00:33:28,257 Speaker 1: Here's a Broadway actress. Apparently she's well known on Broadway circles. 576 00:33:28,257 --> 00:33:31,577 Speaker 1: I've ever heard of her before, Patti Lapone, thank you control. 577 00:33:32,057 --> 00:33:37,297 Speaker 1: Here she is saying, well, berating an audience member because 578 00:33:37,337 --> 00:33:43,737 Speaker 1: the mask dropped beneath the nose. What's yours, why you're 579 00:33:43,857 --> 00:33:46,297 Speaker 1: in the theater. That is the rule. If you don't 580 00:33:46,337 --> 00:34:04,217 Speaker 1: want to follow people that are sitting around you. Chris Salary, 581 00:34:05,297 --> 00:34:12,097 Speaker 1: who do you think you are? Just what your nose? 582 00:34:14,097 --> 00:34:16,937 Speaker 1: Put your mask over your nose. I mean, look, she's 583 00:34:16,937 --> 00:34:22,097 Speaker 1: just trying to save lives, Danielle, apparently by being a moron. Yeah. 584 00:34:22,137 --> 00:34:24,817 Speaker 1: I mean this woman is literally yelling these expletives from 585 00:34:24,897 --> 00:34:27,177 Speaker 1: the stage, not even while wearing a mask herself. And 586 00:34:27,217 --> 00:34:28,937 Speaker 1: you could say, oh, no, well she's away from people, 587 00:34:28,977 --> 00:34:31,297 Speaker 1: you know, she in the video, she's literally next to people. 588 00:34:31,297 --> 00:34:32,857 Speaker 1: So if she truly thinks the COVID is such a 589 00:34:32,857 --> 00:34:35,257 Speaker 1: deadly virus, she would obviously be wearing a mask herself, 590 00:34:35,297 --> 00:34:37,097 Speaker 1: which she isn't. But I think this shows the fact 591 00:34:37,137 --> 00:34:39,977 Speaker 1: that these elites, these powerful people, basically determined that if 592 00:34:40,017 --> 00:34:42,497 Speaker 1: you're a lowly person, you don't you know, you don't 593 00:34:42,497 --> 00:34:44,217 Speaker 1: have the same worth as everybody else, you basically have 594 00:34:44,257 --> 00:34:45,817 Speaker 1: to wear a mask. But if you're a performer of 595 00:34:45,857 --> 00:34:47,737 Speaker 1: your celebrity, if you're a big person, even if you're 596 00:34:47,737 --> 00:34:49,817 Speaker 1: around other people, you don't have to wear a mask. 597 00:34:49,857 --> 00:34:51,417 Speaker 1: And so at this point, I think it's just becomes 598 00:34:51,457 --> 00:34:53,537 Speaker 1: silly and people should not attend these broadway plays. You 599 00:34:53,577 --> 00:34:55,937 Speaker 1: should not even fund these people, because that woman in 600 00:34:55,977 --> 00:34:58,217 Speaker 1: the audience is correct, she is employing that woman. So 601 00:34:58,297 --> 00:35:02,697 Speaker 1: don't go switching gears here again, Danielle. As we know, 602 00:35:02,897 --> 00:35:07,217 Speaker 1: abortion and Robie Wade have become a major point of 603 00:35:07,257 --> 00:35:11,257 Speaker 1: discussion all across the country, and crats like Chuck Schumer 604 00:35:11,297 --> 00:35:14,217 Speaker 1: have been saying they need to go on the record 605 00:35:14,257 --> 00:35:17,857 Speaker 1: with a vote, and there needs to be a national 606 00:35:18,057 --> 00:35:23,177 Speaker 1: abortion protection bill. It's it's pretty stunning that this is 607 00:35:23,177 --> 00:35:25,217 Speaker 1: really what people think should happen now. But this is 608 00:35:25,217 --> 00:35:27,777 Speaker 1: what the Democrats believe in. Of course, doesn't long that's 609 00:35:27,777 --> 00:35:31,017 Speaker 1: going through though. Here is Senator Mansion of West Virginia, 610 00:35:31,497 --> 00:35:36,217 Speaker 1: who effectively ended the Roe v. Wade codification effort. Watch 611 00:35:36,297 --> 00:35:39,497 Speaker 1: this the bill we have today to vote on, the 612 00:35:39,537 --> 00:35:42,537 Speaker 1: Women's Health Protection Act, and I respect people who support, 613 00:35:43,017 --> 00:35:45,577 Speaker 1: but don't make no mistake, it is not Roe v. 614 00:35:45,737 --> 00:35:49,937 Speaker 1: Way codification. It's an expansion. It wipes five hundred five 615 00:35:50,057 --> 00:35:54,417 Speaker 1: hundred state laws off the books. It expands abortion, and 616 00:35:54,617 --> 00:35:57,137 Speaker 1: with that, that's not where we are today. We should 617 00:35:57,217 --> 00:36:00,137 Speaker 1: not be dividing this country further than we're already divided. 618 00:36:00,137 --> 00:36:04,257 Speaker 1: And it's it's really the politics of Congress is dividing 619 00:36:04,297 --> 00:36:07,177 Speaker 1: the country. It's not the people. They're telling us what 620 00:36:07,217 --> 00:36:10,617 Speaker 1: they want. And it's just disappointing that we're going to 621 00:36:10,657 --> 00:36:12,697 Speaker 1: be voting on a piece of legislation which I will 622 00:36:12,697 --> 00:36:17,177 Speaker 1: not vote for today. It's amazing how many people don't 623 00:36:17,257 --> 00:36:21,177 Speaker 1: know very much about abortion law but have very strong 624 00:36:21,257 --> 00:36:24,457 Speaker 1: opinions on abortion law. And I think that the senator 625 00:36:24,497 --> 00:36:28,257 Speaker 1: here is pointing out this wouldn't just be as he says, 626 00:36:28,297 --> 00:36:30,337 Speaker 1: It wouldn't be a codification. It would mean that all 627 00:36:30,417 --> 00:36:32,977 Speaker 1: kinds of state laws about abortion would just be gone 628 00:36:33,017 --> 00:36:36,617 Speaker 1: by an act of the Senate right, And that's basically 629 00:36:36,657 --> 00:36:39,017 Speaker 1: what Roe v. Wade was. It basically nullified all of 630 00:36:39,017 --> 00:36:41,257 Speaker 1: these states that wanted to have abortion restrictions. And so 631 00:36:41,297 --> 00:36:43,297 Speaker 1: when Roe v. Wade is overturned, it's just going to 632 00:36:43,337 --> 00:36:44,777 Speaker 1: send it back to the states. So if you live 633 00:36:44,817 --> 00:36:47,217 Speaker 1: in California and New York or a very liberal place, 634 00:36:47,417 --> 00:36:49,737 Speaker 1: you likely will be able to get abortion even at 635 00:36:49,817 --> 00:36:52,257 Speaker 1: nine months. That's what New York was celebrating when Cuomo 636 00:36:52,297 --> 00:36:54,337 Speaker 1: lit up the Freedom Tower Pink was to celebrate those 637 00:36:54,417 --> 00:36:56,657 Speaker 1: nine month abortions. But most states are going to want 638 00:36:56,657 --> 00:36:59,537 Speaker 1: to put in place restrictions, maybe the fifteen week band 639 00:36:59,577 --> 00:37:01,737 Speaker 1: that Mississippi wanted to do, or a heartbeat bill and 640 00:37:01,777 --> 00:37:03,537 Speaker 1: so on, and so I think it really should be 641 00:37:03,617 --> 00:37:05,457 Speaker 1: up to the people to decide and not up to 642 00:37:06,097 --> 00:37:08,137 Speaker 1: you know, these people like Chuck Schumer who want to 643 00:37:08,217 --> 00:37:11,097 Speaker 1: basically put Roe v. Wade into the hands of the 644 00:37:11,137 --> 00:37:14,177 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, but into the hands of the Senate and 645 00:37:14,377 --> 00:37:22,257 Speaker 1: yell thanks for being with us, thank you left rushed 646 00:37:22,297 --> 00:37:25,617 Speaker 1: you politicize the shooting that left ten dead in upstate 647 00:37:25,697 --> 00:37:28,217 Speaker 1: New York. Just hours after the shooting, New York Governor 648 00:37:28,417 --> 00:37:32,777 Speaker 1: Kathy Hokeel demanded at social media companies shut down discussion 649 00:37:32,977 --> 00:37:36,977 Speaker 1: of so called replacement theory once. I want to know 650 00:37:37,057 --> 00:37:40,377 Speaker 1: what people knew and when they knew it, and calling 651 00:37:40,497 --> 00:37:45,057 Speaker 1: upon our law enforcement as well as our social media platforms. 652 00:37:45,097 --> 00:37:48,977 Speaker 1: The CEOs of those companies need to be held accountable 653 00:37:49,417 --> 00:37:53,897 Speaker 1: and assure all of us that they're taking every step 654 00:37:54,057 --> 00:37:58,097 Speaker 1: humanly possible to be ablely monitoring this information. The white 655 00:37:58,097 --> 00:38:03,017 Speaker 1: supremacy concept of replacement theory where they're concerned and now 656 00:38:03,097 --> 00:38:06,017 Speaker 1: taking to the streets in places like Charlottesville and others 657 00:38:06,577 --> 00:38:11,177 Speaker 1: motivated by this idea that immigrants and Jews and blacks 658 00:38:11,177 --> 00:38:14,737 Speaker 1: are going to replace whites, and that is spreading through 659 00:38:14,817 --> 00:38:19,457 Speaker 1: social media platforms that need to be monitored and shut down. 660 00:38:19,497 --> 00:38:24,377 Speaker 1: The second these words are espoused out there in these platforms, 661 00:38:24,377 --> 00:38:26,937 Speaker 1: it has to stop. You know what I mean now 662 00:38:27,057 --> 00:38:29,457 Speaker 1: is author and columnists David Marcus, David appreciate your being 663 00:38:29,457 --> 00:38:34,857 Speaker 1: with us. Thanks Buck, Kathie Hokel. I really mean this. 664 00:38:34,977 --> 00:38:37,737 Speaker 1: I don't think she's a particularly bright person. I don't 665 00:38:37,737 --> 00:38:42,017 Speaker 1: think she is very capable. Does she really think that 666 00:38:42,137 --> 00:38:45,617 Speaker 1: if only social media companies tried to crack down on 667 00:38:45,657 --> 00:38:50,857 Speaker 1: speech even more, you wouldn't have one loan gutman lunatic 668 00:38:50,977 --> 00:38:55,177 Speaker 1: like this that once in a while, unfortunately tragically would 669 00:38:55,217 --> 00:38:57,497 Speaker 1: engage in this kind of a mass shooting. I mean, 670 00:38:57,497 --> 00:39:00,057 Speaker 1: I just it seems to me that their solutions to 671 00:39:00,897 --> 00:39:05,937 Speaker 1: prevent these kinds of incidents are just on serious. No. Look, 672 00:39:05,977 --> 00:39:08,897 Speaker 1: I think she just sees a political opportunity here. And 673 00:39:09,617 --> 00:39:13,057 Speaker 1: you know that's why when when you have these horrible tragedies, 674 00:39:13,057 --> 00:39:16,017 Speaker 1: in this case, a blatantly racist, you know, set of 675 00:39:16,137 --> 00:39:20,937 Speaker 1: murders here, Unfortunately everybody in the news media knows that 676 00:39:20,977 --> 00:39:23,297 Speaker 1: as soon as it happens. The first question is, you 677 00:39:23,337 --> 00:39:27,217 Speaker 1: know what was the political ideology. The American people start saying, 678 00:39:27,257 --> 00:39:29,217 Speaker 1: you know, was was this person on my team? Or 679 00:39:29,257 --> 00:39:31,617 Speaker 1: was they on the other team? And the answer, of 680 00:39:31,617 --> 00:39:34,137 Speaker 1: course is they're not on anybody's team. Right, This evil 681 00:39:34,217 --> 00:39:36,857 Speaker 1: lunatic in Buffalo isn't on anybody's team. The guy who 682 00:39:36,857 --> 00:39:41,537 Speaker 1: shot up the subway in Brooklyn isn't on anybody's team. 683 00:39:42,177 --> 00:39:45,097 Speaker 1: But you know, we have four reporters at the White 684 00:39:45,097 --> 00:39:48,857 Speaker 1: House Press conference today specifically try to get the White 685 00:39:48,857 --> 00:39:53,177 Speaker 1: House to blame Republican politicians or different media figures. You know, 686 00:39:53,217 --> 00:39:56,497 Speaker 1: it's divisive, it's predictable, and it's really standing in the 687 00:39:56,537 --> 00:39:59,977 Speaker 1: way of some important discourse that might help us stop 688 00:40:00,057 --> 00:40:02,897 Speaker 1: these kinds of events. Although, as you say, they are rare, 689 00:40:02,697 --> 00:40:06,737 Speaker 1: they're a problem, and we ought to be serious about them. Yes, 690 00:40:06,777 --> 00:40:10,177 Speaker 1: And the issue of violence across the country, which is 691 00:40:10,217 --> 00:40:15,177 Speaker 1: also unfortunately on display this past weekend. It's fascinating the 692 00:40:15,217 --> 00:40:20,097 Speaker 1: media spend so much less time on what the reality 693 00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:23,857 Speaker 1: is of over ninety five percent of the murders that 694 00:40:23,857 --> 00:40:27,897 Speaker 1: are occurring in the country, which is it is young 695 00:40:27,937 --> 00:40:32,017 Speaker 1: men who are shooting other young men, disproportionally involving and 696 00:40:32,097 --> 00:40:36,097 Speaker 1: targeting the minority community in places like Chicago, places like 697 00:40:36,257 --> 00:40:41,177 Speaker 1: New York. They don't want to discuss ending or stopping 698 00:40:41,417 --> 00:40:43,937 Speaker 1: that in a serious way. They'll say that it's police racism, 699 00:40:43,977 --> 00:40:46,257 Speaker 1: They'll say that it's other things. And then in a 700 00:40:46,297 --> 00:40:48,617 Speaker 1: situation like this, we're gonna hear more about gun control, 701 00:40:49,137 --> 00:40:51,937 Speaker 1: and yet the gun control measures that they're this. I 702 00:40:51,937 --> 00:40:53,657 Speaker 1: feel like we do this all the time, David right. 703 00:40:53,977 --> 00:40:56,617 Speaker 1: And I wonder at what point the public tires of 704 00:40:56,937 --> 00:40:59,337 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer saying, well, if only if 705 00:40:59,377 --> 00:41:01,457 Speaker 1: we had only banned assault rifles, this wouldn't have happened. 706 00:41:01,537 --> 00:41:04,337 Speaker 1: There's a mass shooter in California the same weekend who 707 00:41:04,417 --> 00:41:07,337 Speaker 1: used two pistols. So then gonna are we gonna band 708 00:41:07,377 --> 00:41:10,537 Speaker 1: pistols or what is the It just seems like we 709 00:41:10,657 --> 00:41:13,577 Speaker 1: keep coming back to the same discussion, and really the 710 00:41:13,617 --> 00:41:15,697 Speaker 1: Democrats would allowed his voices on it, just want to 711 00:41:15,737 --> 00:41:19,337 Speaker 1: say Republicans are evil, this is their fault somehow. Yeah, look, 712 00:41:19,457 --> 00:41:23,057 Speaker 1: I think that's right, and I do think I do 713 00:41:23,137 --> 00:41:27,377 Speaker 1: think that to some extent, conservatives, some conservatives have a 714 00:41:27,377 --> 00:41:30,377 Speaker 1: tendency to say something like this overt white supremacy just 715 00:41:30,417 --> 00:41:33,297 Speaker 1: doesn't exist in our society anymore, and that's not true. 716 00:41:33,337 --> 00:41:35,977 Speaker 1: It certainly does in prisons, It certainly does in these 717 00:41:35,977 --> 00:41:39,257 Speaker 1: sort of dark corners of the internet. And that's what 718 00:41:39,297 --> 00:41:41,337 Speaker 1: we need to be focused on if we want to 719 00:41:41,377 --> 00:41:45,977 Speaker 1: stop It's not monitoring Americans with disinformation boards, but the 720 00:41:46,297 --> 00:41:49,417 Speaker 1: kind of police and law enforcement intelligence that that's sort 721 00:41:49,417 --> 00:41:52,337 Speaker 1: of normal and natural. Uh No, that these calls to 722 00:41:52,617 --> 00:41:54,497 Speaker 1: you know, gun control was not going to stop this, 723 00:41:54,657 --> 00:41:56,697 Speaker 1: It just was. It's just not a serious solution to 724 00:41:56,737 --> 00:41:59,257 Speaker 1: the problem. So why why don't we have a serious 725 00:41:59,297 --> 00:42:03,417 Speaker 1: conversation about it? And the very specific I mean, this 726 00:42:03,537 --> 00:42:06,057 Speaker 1: does not happen in the same way when there is 727 00:42:06,097 --> 00:42:08,537 Speaker 1: a narrative that or rather when the shooting falls into 728 00:42:08,577 --> 00:42:12,497 Speaker 1: a different narrative, right, I mean in the aftermath of Waukesha, 729 00:42:12,857 --> 00:42:17,177 Speaker 1: for example, where a black man specifically drove his car 730 00:42:17,257 --> 00:42:20,617 Speaker 1: intentionally and murdered many people in the streets, you know, 731 00:42:20,657 --> 00:42:24,897 Speaker 1: crush the murdered people's horrific. You didn't have the biggest, 732 00:42:24,977 --> 00:42:28,457 Speaker 1: loudest voices in the Republican Party all saying this is 733 00:42:28,577 --> 00:42:32,777 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's fault, or this is Rachel Maddow's fault, or 734 00:42:32,817 --> 00:42:35,457 Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper's fault. We didn't do that in the aftermath 735 00:42:35,497 --> 00:42:38,337 Speaker 1: of this you have. It's all over the Internet, it's 736 00:42:38,337 --> 00:42:43,257 Speaker 1: all over cable news chas channels. They're specifically not just 737 00:42:43,297 --> 00:42:46,177 Speaker 1: calling out Fox News Channel, they're calling out certain posts 738 00:42:46,177 --> 00:42:50,017 Speaker 1: on Fox as though they're personally responsible for me. Yeah, 739 00:42:50,057 --> 00:42:53,417 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's absolutely ridiculous. And you're very right 740 00:42:53,577 --> 00:42:56,697 Speaker 1: about the discrepancy between how this operates on the right 741 00:42:57,697 --> 00:43:01,217 Speaker 1: and how this operates on the left. And I'll say, 742 00:43:01,417 --> 00:43:03,337 Speaker 1: you know, since I since I threw a little shade 743 00:43:03,337 --> 00:43:05,897 Speaker 1: at conservatives who maybe paint too rosie a picture of 744 00:43:06,737 --> 00:43:11,257 Speaker 1: race relations in the United States, the Democrats, this line 745 00:43:11,257 --> 00:43:14,737 Speaker 1: that whites that white nationalist violence or white supremacy is 746 00:43:14,777 --> 00:43:18,937 Speaker 1: the greatest threat to the homeland is absurd, right, everybody 747 00:43:18,977 --> 00:43:22,537 Speaker 1: knows that it's absurd. And so I really think that 748 00:43:22,817 --> 00:43:25,657 Speaker 1: a lot of this rhetoric is in service of that 749 00:43:26,257 --> 00:43:29,497 Speaker 1: frankly bizarre notion that just has a lot of purchase 750 00:43:29,537 --> 00:43:32,177 Speaker 1: on the left. Right now, I want to I mean, 751 00:43:32,217 --> 00:43:33,417 Speaker 1: there's a part of that it doesn't even want to 752 00:43:33,417 --> 00:43:36,537 Speaker 1: ask you about this, David, but I'm curious about your take, 753 00:43:37,297 --> 00:43:40,177 Speaker 1: because giving this person attention almost feels like it's not 754 00:43:40,217 --> 00:43:42,337 Speaker 1: only a distraction, but maybe this is just what she wants. 755 00:43:42,777 --> 00:43:46,777 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney, who is still technically a Republican, gooted out 756 00:43:46,937 --> 00:43:51,777 Speaker 1: the House. GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy, 757 00:43:51,897 --> 00:43:55,257 Speaker 1: and anti semitism. History has taught us what begins with 758 00:43:55,297 --> 00:43:58,537 Speaker 1: words ends and far worse. GOP leaders must renounce and 759 00:43:58,577 --> 00:44:00,977 Speaker 1: reject these viewers and those who hold them. I mean, 760 00:44:01,017 --> 00:44:05,857 Speaker 1: she's is she just is she comically idiotic or comically awful, 761 00:44:06,017 --> 00:44:08,817 Speaker 1: or because it's just so stupid. I mean, what she's 762 00:44:08,817 --> 00:44:11,697 Speaker 1: saying is so absurd that the GOP is where all 763 00:44:11,697 --> 00:44:15,537 Speaker 1: the anti semitism is. That would be news to most 764 00:44:15,617 --> 00:44:18,097 Speaker 1: of the Jews that come out and speak about where 765 00:44:18,097 --> 00:44:24,017 Speaker 1: the anti semitism is in Congress because it's Democrats. Yeah, look, 766 00:44:24,057 --> 00:44:28,417 Speaker 1: it's it's it's grandstanding, it's it's self aggrandizing. I mean, 767 00:44:28,777 --> 00:44:31,417 Speaker 1: I saw that tweet this morning, and because you know, 768 00:44:31,497 --> 00:44:33,097 Speaker 1: for my job, I have to be one of the 769 00:44:33,137 --> 00:44:36,657 Speaker 1: twelve people who watch his CNN. You know, forty five 770 00:44:36,657 --> 00:44:39,737 Speaker 1: minutes later there's the tweet on CNN. That's the purpose 771 00:44:39,777 --> 00:44:41,337 Speaker 1: of it. It's all to sort of gin up this 772 00:44:41,417 --> 00:44:45,777 Speaker 1: ridiculous January sixth committee. Um, it's foolishness, and I think 773 00:44:45,817 --> 00:44:48,217 Speaker 1: a lot. In fact, I think the vast majority of 774 00:44:48,217 --> 00:44:52,377 Speaker 1: Republican voters really hope that the voters of Wyoming do 775 00:44:52,457 --> 00:44:54,897 Speaker 1: their job soon and we don't have to deal with 776 00:44:54,977 --> 00:44:58,377 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney anymore. David, appreciate you being with us. Good 777 00:44:58,377 --> 00:44:59,937 Speaker 1: to see you. Thanks Buck,
