1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: We've got a loaded radio program for you. We join 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: wrote a great piece for Foxnews dot com doctor Marty McCarry, 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: who has been one of the voices of sanity in 7 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: the medical community. JOHNS Hopkins of the Doctor also the 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: chief medical adviser I believe for the State of Virginia 9 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: and Glenn Junkin, the new governor there. He wrote a 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,919 Speaker 1: piece pointing out all of the flaws that the so 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: called experts have embraced associated with COVID. We've got the 12 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: United States Senate which voted not to continue the mask 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: mandate on planes, on trains, in your ubers, and your lifts, 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: all of the different places where masks are still required. 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Guess who was the only Republican 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: to vote in favor of maintaining the mask mandate. None 17 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: other than Senator Mitt Romney of Utah. We will be 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: joined by Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin in the program. 19 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about Mitt Romney and a bit although Buck, 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: does it surprise you that Mitt Romney was the only 21 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 1: Republican to vote in favor in some ways of maintaining 22 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: the mask mandate. No, because ever since I saw him 23 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: marching with BLM and and did you we should pull 24 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: that all day where he's like, well, I'm here because 25 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, I want to make it clear that black 26 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: lives matter. I was like, this guy is such I 27 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: guess maybe he was so beaten down, but let's be 28 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: honest getting his butt kicked by Obama in twenty twelve, 29 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: that he's just desperate for the approval of the elites. Now, 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: you know, he just wants he wants the New York 31 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: Times to think well of him. That was pathetic, but 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: this was even more annoying because he his justification, you know, Clay, sorry, 33 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: I know we don't want to get his justification is 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: that the expert should make these decisions. No, I want 35 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: to flip over tables and scream profanity when he says this. 36 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: The Senate should be making the determination about this based 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: on if they want the advice of people like the CDC. 38 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: The CDC is not some super legislature, no doubt, and 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: also they're not held accountable by voters, which is why 40 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: we're saying November has to be an onslaught. By the way, 41 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: it is also the two year anniversary of fifteen days 42 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: to slow the spread. If you remember that press conference, 43 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: it has now been seven hundred I believe seven hundred 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: and thirty days since fifteen days to slow the spread. 45 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: We're still fighting a lot of those battles. But speaking 46 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: of fighting battles of Vladimir Zelinsky addressed Congress just a 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: couple of hours ago and made his plea for as 48 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: much American support as he could possibly get as the 49 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: overall battle inside of Ukraine continues to grow an intensity. 50 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: He spoke in English for a short part of that 51 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: overall address. Here is Vladimir Zelensky speaking in English and 52 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: the leader of my niche. I'm addressing the President Biden. 53 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: You have the leader of the Niche. I wish you 54 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: be the leader of the world. Being the leader of 55 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: the wold means to be the leader office thinking. So 56 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: there's no doubt now, Buck that Zelensky is continuing to 57 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: play the role we talked about this last week of 58 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: the modern day Churchill. He is going around and speaking 59 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: to all these different countries. He just spoke to Canada. 60 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: I believe he's scheduled to speak to several other European countries. 61 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: He's already spoken last week to Boris Johnson Parliament in England. 62 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: He spoke to Congress asking for as much support as 63 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: he can possibly get. I don't doubt that this will 64 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: help his overall trajectory in terms of the amount of 65 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: support the United States is going to give him. But 66 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: do you believe anything changed in any kind of substantive 67 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: way based on his address to Congress today? Buck emotional appeal, 68 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 1: That's what it was. In front of the members of 69 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: Congress assembled, there was a video. It was scored with 70 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: orchestral sad orchestral music, and they were showing horrific imagery 71 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: of children missing legs and buildings being destroyed. And this 72 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: is all meant and this is all happening, and it 73 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: is horrible, it is atrocious. This is meant to evoke 74 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: an emotional response from us that we should think differently 75 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: about what the US role in this should be based 76 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: upon the emotional appeal, right, based upon our sense of 77 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: outrage morality, and I think we have to be very 78 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: cautious about that. We all understand what's gone on here 79 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: is terrible. This should have been the whole war should 80 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: have introverted. I think that's also something that gets lost 81 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: in this discussion. It was an enormous blunder and a 82 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: miscalculation on the part of the data allies looking at this, 83 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: Biden administration looking at this, they really didn't believe I 84 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: think until the very end, until maybe the days or 85 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks before that Putin was going to 86 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: go in. But put that aside for a moment, Clay. 87 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: There's already negotiations under way, this is being widely reported 88 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: on about how to end the conflict. What would be 89 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: necessary here in terms of concessions from Ukraine. Now I 90 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: understand that we want to side with and we do 91 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: side with the aggrieved assaulted party here, which is Ukraine. 92 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: They're being bullied and they're being massacred by a superior 93 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: military force in a bigger, stronger country in a way 94 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: that is horrific. But all of that said, the most 95 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: important thing I believe is to bring this war to 96 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: a conclusion. And there's already a discussion about neutrality for Ukraine. 97 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: Would that be enough now? Ukraine, as I understand the 98 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: negotiations and of course, I'm out there and we have 99 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: to rely on the reporting on this, right, you're not 100 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: in the room. I'm not in the room, but this 101 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: is what western news sources are reporting. Ukraine is saying, well, no, 102 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: we have to have guarantees, security guarantees, and not just 103 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: a promise of neutrality. But there's already discussion about how 104 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: to end this thing. Keep that in mind when we're 105 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: looking at now the ask from Zelenski, there's really a 106 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: two there's two things. He wants a no fly zone 107 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: clear the skies, which we've already discussed, a no flies 108 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: on me and shooting down Russian planes. And it's not 109 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: seen for everybody out there that a no fly zone 110 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: is going to have the support in order to ever occur, 111 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: at least with United States involvement or NATO involvement. Right, 112 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: it does not seem that it's going to happen today. Yes, 113 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm not sure ever, but I think today, which is 114 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: what that's my concern. I mean, Clay, you're right that 115 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: right now there is really a bipartis in agreement that 116 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: we don't there is a bipartisan leadership consensus. But it 117 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: has this has been evolving day in and day out. 118 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: The secondary ask was, well, if you won't do that, 119 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: give us more weapons. And now there's discussion of sending 120 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: the Switchblade suicide drones for example. I mean it's a 121 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: suicide for the drone, not a person, but that those 122 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: are used in Afghanistan for example, and giving them more 123 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: advanced surface to air missile system so they could at 124 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: least defend themselves better against these Russian strikes. Keep in 125 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: mind a lot of what we're seeing our Russian missile 126 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: strikes from what we understand in artillery and a no 127 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: fly zone would be very limited. And the way you 128 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: stop that with a no fly zone, Clay would be 129 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: at engaging targets on the ground, which means now our 130 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: planes are blowing up things on the ground too. So 131 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: this is how it gets much bigger, much faster. As 132 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: a point of US military involvement. Will we give him 133 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: additional tools, Yes, we've been giving them a lot. But 134 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: I think the focus should be on trying to figure 135 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: out what the negotiation could be here, what the the 136 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: final deal could be to end this more so than 137 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: this idea that you Krane is going to be able 138 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: to differ. I still think people think Ukraine is gonna 139 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: be able to defeat Russia in this fight and kick 140 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: them out of the country. And I don't see that happening, 141 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: and I don't think anyone's following it very closely as 142 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: a conflict sys that happening. And then you can certainly 143 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: understand the Ukrainian perspective, which is, if we're going to 144 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: enter into some form of ceasefire, how do we have 145 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: guarantees that we're not going to get invaded again by 146 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: Russia in a year or six months or two years. 147 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: What is there that would make Vladimir Putin not actually 148 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: do this? And look, they've already negotiated. They thought for 149 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: their own support historically, they gave up their nukes. They 150 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: thought they were going to get the protection in the 151 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: event that Russia ever invaded. And that's the key to me, 152 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: is how in the world do you get an enforceable 153 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: pact of non aggression going forward from Russia? And can 154 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: you trust anything that Vladimir Putin says in this arena? 155 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: I don't think you can buck And so that that 156 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: raises the issue of how do you ever in this 157 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: conflict when there is no mutuality of trust that Vladimir 158 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: Putin is going to accede to anything he agrees to 159 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: today or tomorrow or in the near future, four months 160 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: or years into the future. It's just not going to happen. 161 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: So there's trust him. There's two parts of this, right 162 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: there's the stopping the missiles in the bombs from falling 163 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: right now to save as many lives as possible while 164 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: we can. And then I think what you're getting to 165 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: Clay is the reality of what things actually look like 166 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: even after a ceasefire, and even if there is I 167 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: mean right now, I think there's essentially no chance that 168 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: you're going to have Russia agree to give back any 169 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: of the territory. Forget about Crimea, that's now officially that's 170 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: been officially part of Russia, even though the international community 171 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: rejecton it's been officially part of Russia for years. But 172 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: everything that they've grabbed in the east, maybe even some 173 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: of the stuff they've grabbed to the north of Kiev, 174 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: the capital city, they may say, well, no, this is 175 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: now a Russian protectorate. We need this for a strategic buffer, 176 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: if you will, between a hostile state and US. And 177 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: so what's the difference between that and a forward operating 178 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: base for further aggression against Ukraine in two years, in 179 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: ten years, who knows to take more of the country 180 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: as a stronger or more powerful neighbor. So, you know, 181 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: is that likely to happen? I think so. I think 182 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: that that's one of the big challenges here is even 183 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: if there is a ceasefire and a promise of neutrality, 184 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: it feels like this is just a phased consuming of 185 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian state by the Russian bear that is happening 186 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: right now. It's just a question of how much they 187 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: do today, how much they'll do in six months and 188 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: in six years. But it all also comes back to 189 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: dot do we want to have a fight with Russia? 190 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: Does the United States? Does do our NATO allies? Want 191 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: to see how crazy Putin's willing to be if he 192 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: feels backed into a corner. And I think the answer 193 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: is still for those who understand what he could pull 194 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: off and what he could try. This is not our fight. 195 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: Our troops should not be involved, our airmen and women 196 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: should not be involved. But Clay that could change very quickly. 197 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: Enough of these videos, enough of these appeals. Not only that, 198 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: I mean, what in the world going forward is going 199 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: to happen in terms of bringing Russia back into the 200 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: global order, how much trust I mean, again, the analogy 201 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: that I would use historically, buck is this feels a 202 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: bit to me like the First Gulf War where Saddam 203 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: Hussein invades Kuwait, the United Nations, everybody comes together to 204 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: kick him out of Kuwait, but he's still in control, 205 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: and so it's just part and parcel of a longer 206 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: story as opposed to some sort of official resolution. Obviously, 207 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: the difference is Russia is gaining territory here, whereas Iraq 208 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: lost all of its territory, but Saddam Hussein remained in power, 209 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: and we ended up having a second part to that, 210 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: which was the same I can go forar I don't 211 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: know that we're going to get any sort of substantive 212 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: resolution here because Putin, it appears, is going to remain 213 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: in power, and how can you trust anything that he's 214 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: going to do after what we've seen over the last 215 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: three weeks or so, And it does feel like we're 216 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: entering a new Cold War that's really a two front 217 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: Cold war. Yes, we have Russia to deal with in 218 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: the West, although of course Russia also stretches to the east. 219 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: But Russia to deal with in the West and China 220 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: to deal with in the East. China more economically at 221 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: least right now, Russia more militarily. But the old Soviet 222 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: Union may be gone. We've got some pretty massive challenges 223 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: in geopolitics going forward in the West. It's not going 224 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: to be the clear sailing many of us had hoped for. Unfortunately, 225 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: Pure Talk has earned the right to be called a disruptor. 226 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: They've certainly disrupted the status quo and the cell phone 227 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: service business. Think about it. They offer much better pricing 228 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: for monthly cell service from those bigger, better known companies, 229 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: and they do it all while providing you with cell 230 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: service on the same towers and the same network as 231 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: one of those better known companies. You keep your same 232 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: phone and same phone number, but instead of paying a 233 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: big bill each month, you might pay as little as 234 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: thirty dollars a month for unlimited talk and text and 235 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: six gigs of data. That's a huge savings compared to 236 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: your existing bill. So give Verizon AT and T and 237 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: T Mobile the boot and only pay for the service 238 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: you need and want, like unlimited talk, texts and six 239 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: gigs of data for just thirty dollars a month from 240 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 1: your cell phone. Dial pound two fifty say pure Talk. 241 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: You'll save an additional fifty percent off your first month. 242 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: You can literally be switched over to pure Talk service 243 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: in less than ten minutes. Dial pound two five zero 244 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: say pure talk. Pure Talk is simply smarter wirey. First 245 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: thing we would have to do is suppress the enemy 246 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: air defenses, so we'd have to take out the Russian 247 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: surface stair missile sites. And then as Russian airplanes are flying, 248 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: you have to enforce the no fly zone, so you 249 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: have to shoot him down. And we can do that, 250 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: but then we're in a direct combat action with the 251 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: Russian military. That means we are at war with Russian 252 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: and at this point, I think it is in the 253 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: best interest of everybody for us to avoid being at 254 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: war with Russian. Russia has six thousand nuclear warheads, we 255 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: have fifty five hundred. The support we're giving Ukraine right 256 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: now is effective. Welcome back, Clay and Buck. That was 257 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: Senator Mark Kelly on the no fly zone. Yeah, it is. 258 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: It is best if we avoid a war with Russia. 259 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: I think that is pretty clear, and so that would 260 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: be Let's let's be a very clear eyed about this one. 261 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: What is the worst possible outcome here. I think that's 262 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: the worst possible outcome of all of the things that 263 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: we're seeing, So we should do everything we can to 264 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: avoid that. So then what other options are there? Well, 265 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: Congressional Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says that we need to 266 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: give Ukraine a mix of stuff so they can create 267 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: their own no flies. The President Zelenski was very powerful, 268 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: as many of you watch, made the case very strongly. 269 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: When you think about what President Biden should do, I 270 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: think there's a five parties in the movement right here. 271 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: Provide them the mix, Provide them the planes where they 272 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: can create a those guyso, provide them the armament that 273 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: they need to continue to fight a war that they 274 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: did not create. I thought the video was one of 275 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: the most moving moments in the made the case of 276 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: the murdering innocent people, that war crimes are being committed, 277 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: but America and the world cannot sit by and ignore play. 278 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: This is where we may see a change in sentiment. 279 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: A few days ago, it was giving planes could be 280 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: seen as an escalation and people argue, well, we're already 281 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: giving them shoulder fired missiles, and what's the difference. Well, 282 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's It's like if you give your if 283 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: you were to give your neighbor a rifle to fight 284 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: off a home invasion versus I guess giving them a buzuka. 285 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: I mean, there are different levels of military assistance and 286 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: involvement that one could point too, but I mean, to 287 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: be fair, it's lethal aid either way. So I see this, 288 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: do you think we're going to give them planes? It 289 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: seems like there is a building consensus towards giving them 290 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: the planes. I mean, when I watched the Zolinsky discussion, 291 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: buck what immediately comes to mind. Remember early on when 292 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: he said this may be the last time that you 293 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: see me alive, and there was this idea that Russia 294 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: was going to capture and assassinate Zolensky. Yep, that seems 295 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: to have completely disappeared, the idea that he's going to 296 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: be captured and assassinated. Such that, you know the technology 297 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: and the search capabilities better than most, but when you're 298 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: addressing Congress and you're talking to world leaders all over 299 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: the place, there has to be a degree of confidence 300 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: that somebody's not suddenly going to bomb where you are, 301 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: or there's not going to be an assassin's squad that 302 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: suddenly shows up while you're in the middle of an 303 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: event like this. He hasn't left Kiev to our knowledge, 304 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: and so I wonder to what extent there is some 305 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: sort of agreement. I may tell me, if you think 306 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: I'm crazy on this, that his safety is not now 307 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: as paramount of a concern as it appeared to be 308 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 1: in the first few days of this invasion. Does that 309 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: make sense? I mean, when I see him doing all 310 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: all these interviews and all these discussions everywhere, it doesn't 311 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: seem to me like he is terrified that at any 312 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: moment he's going to be killed. It's you're hearing less 313 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: about it, to be sure. And there's a lot of 314 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: what really felt like war propaganda coming from all directions 315 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: in the early days of the conflict. I'd say this, though, 316 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: what really has to be assessed here is enhancing the 317 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: capabilities of the Ukrainians to punch back against the Russians, 318 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: specifically with planes. Does that prolong or shorten the conflict 319 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: so that we get to a negotiation and to actual hostilities. 320 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: I think there's an assumption that it would make the 321 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: Russians come the table faster.

Appreciate all 339 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We roll through the 340 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: Wednesday edition of the program. We are joined now by 341 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson and Senator Johnson. I'll start with 342 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: this since we saw the vote yesterday fifty seven to 343 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: forty in the Senate in favor of ending the mask 344 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: mandate on airplanes, on trains, everything else. Every Republican but 345 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: Mitt Romilly voted yes to do that, and even eight 346 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: Democrats voted as well in favor of ending that mandate, 347 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: many of whom four of them at least are up 348 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: for reelection. This means independence if finally starting to get 349 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: a little bit same here, don't you think, Senator Johnson, 350 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: and recognizing that we're in an absurd situation to be 351 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: continuing with these pandemic restrictions two years into this process. 352 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: It certainly proves that public opinion is important and it 353 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: to help sway votes. And I know ste Walter a 354 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: Journal opinion poll set about five percent of the Americans 355 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: think COVID is the number one issue facing us. I 356 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: think people are ready to get on with their lives. Unfortunately, 357 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 1: a lot of the cartel is not. They want to 358 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: continue to push the state of fear. They want to 359 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: continue to control our lives, and that's unfortunate. But I 360 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: think the vast majority of Americans just want the pandemic 361 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: over and move on with their lives. Senator Johnson, it's 362 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: buck how do you think the Biden administration is handling 363 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: You probably saw earlier today the short speech he gave 364 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: on the situation with Ukraine. There was the Zelenski addressed 365 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: to Congress this morning. Is Biden right now put aside 366 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: that we shouldn't have been you know that this war 367 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't have happened in the first place, and we all 368 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: agree it's terrible. Is the Biden administration making the right 369 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: moves right now? What would you want them to do differently? Well? 370 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: I think the fact that the Presidence Zelenski failed, he 371 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: had to come before a joint session of Congress and 372 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: plead for the help he actually needs, that the Ukrainian 373 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: people actually need to defend themselves against the atrocity and 374 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: war crimes with Putin, I think is pretty well proof 375 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: that Biden is not doing what he should be doing. Yeah, 376 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: we should have obviously supplied them a lot more lethal 377 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: defensive weaponry before Putin never invaded Ukraine. What we should 378 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: have also done is taken a full inventory of what 379 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: other military assets would be available should Putin invade, like 380 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: the SU three hundred anti aircraft serves, air missiles like 381 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: the mag jets, and we should have got that into 382 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: Ukraine quietly without anybody knowing it whatsoever until those missiles 383 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: slammed into some Russian jets. But that's not what happened. 384 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: We a mini debacle with the whole dispute over the 385 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: mag jets denying Zoonsky some I mean, probably pretty helpful assets. 386 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: As we saw they undertook an air strike against an 387 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,959 Speaker 1: airfield that the Russia had taken over. And the Ukrainians 388 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: are showing such courage and quite honestly skill in many 389 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: places they seem to be fighting Russia to a scan 390 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: still there they're initiating counter offenses right now. They need support, 391 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: and unfortunately the biding idministrations have been slowed, have been 392 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: dragged in supplying the support. It's it's really shameful. Senator Johnson. 393 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: How much are you concerned? There's been a lot of 394 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: talk about the jets and what exactly should happen with 395 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: all of these jets, and whether we should allow Ukrainian 396 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: pilots to potentially come into Germany and take these jets 397 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: back into Ukraine. Should we? And where is the line 398 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: if we are concerned, where we move from providing support 399 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: to engaging in some way in direct conflict with Russia 400 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: in your mind, Yeah, I think everybody agrees that we 401 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: want to avoid direct conflict, but providing them you know, 402 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: what's between a nig JETI and knockdown a jet or 403 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: thing or missile that can do the same thing. I mean, 404 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: we're providing them lethal defensive weaponry. No, nobody's contemplating the 405 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: Ukraine's gonna use those for offensive operations into Russia. Let's 406 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: defend their their homeland, their freedom, their families, their children. 407 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: That's completely appropriate. You know. One thing we're not talking 408 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: enough about, though, is providing information to the Russian people. 409 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: We've seen some very courageous Russians protesting that one news 410 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: producer her protest. We need Russian, the Russian people to 411 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: understand what Putin is doing. The best case scenario right 412 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: now is for the Russian people to depose Hprutin. We 413 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: need to do everything we can to get the Russian 414 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: people up to speed with what's actually happening, because, let's 415 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: facing Putin is very effective at the controlling the media. 416 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: So that's something we really ought to triple quadruple our 417 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: efforts to inform the Russian people has happening, because they 418 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: don't they don't support this war. They don't really understand 419 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: what's happening. Speaking Senator Ron Johnson, Wisconsin Senator, the feed 420 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: is raising interest rates, the first time it's happened since 421 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. A lot of us are looking at this 422 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: trajectory of the economy with Biden year one in the books. 423 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: Year two looks like it's going to be really shaky. 424 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: Folks are talking stagflation, some are even talking recession. What 425 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: do you see happening here? Well, I've been warning about 426 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: stag inflation for a well over a year. I stopped 427 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 1: voting for the this COVID relief after the Cares Act, 428 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: because every time we'd vote for a new trillion dollars 429 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: COVID relief package, we had a trillion left unspent from 430 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: the previous session. I started hearing from Wisconsin. Business was 431 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: pretty early on that, just like when I started my 432 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: business in the early eighties, when price increases were expected 433 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: and readily accepted, and then thirty years was like pulling 434 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 1: teeth getting a price increase. Once we started opening up 435 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: the monetary spigots and just flooded the economy with trillions 436 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,239 Speaker 1: of dollars, we were sparking inflation, and so for at 437 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: least over a year, businesses once again are the position 438 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: where price increases are expected, they're accepted. Of course, I 439 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: think we're in a wage price spiral right now where 440 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: the wage gains people have enjoyed have been wiped out 441 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: by inflation. I just remember how incredibly difficult was to 442 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: break that cycle, and it required two people of enormous courage, 443 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan and Paul Worker to do that in the 444 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: early eighties. I'm not seeing a whole lot of courage 445 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: here in Washington see today. So I am highly concerned 446 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: about not only inflation really harming American families, but stay 447 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: inflation on top of that, Senator Johnson, we're coming up 448 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: on obviously mid mid March and soon people including yourself, 449 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: and i'd encourage people listening on our number one affiliate 450 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: there were ranked the best best in the city of 451 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: Milwaukee to be supporting you all over Wisconsin as people 452 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: are listening to us. What is going to happen in 453 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: your mind in Congress between now and when everybody goes 454 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: back and starts officially campaigning in the summer and the 455 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: fall season. Do you think we try to get the 456 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: Biden administration does a tax increase, do they try to 457 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: break up some of the parts of build back better 458 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: and pass that or do you think by and large 459 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: we're kind of not going to have a lot of 460 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: activity in Congress in terms of passing bills. How do 461 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: you read the tea leaves as a Democratic strategy based 462 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: on what you see on the hill right now? Well, 463 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: my concern is, for whatever reason, Democrats always want to 464 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: increase taxes on the American public. President Biden said that 465 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to increase taxes on anybody making less 466 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: than four and a thousand dollars. But it's important to 467 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: note that inflation is the Democrat tax on the middle class. 468 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: But there certainly seems a desire on the part of 469 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: Democrats to spend more money to tax the hard earned, 470 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: you know, through and free belabors of the American public. 471 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: And so I'm always concerned about that. I've got my 472 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: intent up. But but hopefully they'll run out of time. Hopefully, 473 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: you know. Again, I am concerned about that because, let's 474 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: face it, Joe is actually saying the solution to inflation, 475 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: and he's backed up by a compliant media is literally 476 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: more disus spending it's insane, it makes no sense, but 477 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: that's what they actually say, and you gotta be careful. 478 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: You got to watch what they say, because they actually 479 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: carried out as best they can. Senators Johnson, I got yeah, 480 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: building on that, when do you think this the congressional 481 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: session will be over and basically the clock will be 482 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: run out and everybody will pivot towards midterms. Is it July? 483 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: When are you anticipating, Hey, we're out of DC and 484 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: people don't have to worry about tax increases occurring in 485 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and we can go vote in the 486 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: mid terms. Well, one of two scenarios. Either we reached 487 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: the August recess and I think then it's pretty much 488 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: campaign mode, or the public opinion polls continue to turn 489 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: south to a point where Democrats really are afraid that 490 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: they may be looking at a blowout election here. I 491 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: think that's to a certain extent, we're starting to see 492 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: that scenario, which is evidence of that is what happened 493 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: with the anti mask mandate to vote in the set ye. 494 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: So even Democrats are concerned about the polls and staff 495 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: the sciences change on this stuff. The polls have changed. 496 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson Wisconsin, sir, always your pleasure. Thanks for 497 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: coming by.

You can check it out there. 525 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: Doctor McCarry, appreciate you joining us. I read your piece 526 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: this morning, really well done. What is your take on 527 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: we We said we were going to talk about it 528 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: in a little bit, but the Senate actually voted on 529 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: mask mandates on airplanes and Mitt Romney was the only Republican. 530 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: I believe there were eight different Democratic Senators, many of 531 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 1: them in tight reelection races, that also voted fifty seven 532 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: total to do away with the airplane mandate. Why in 533 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: the world does that mandate still exist? Is it totally 534 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: and completely illogical? I think it is. I think that 535 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: we have now the data that we should have gotten 536 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: on day one of the pandemic on cloth masks, and 537 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: really what protects people is the ventilation in the airplane, 538 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: and some people just don't want to accept that. And 539 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: if you want to wear a mask forever for the 540 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: rest of your life, then you'll say we need to 541 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 1: wear a mask now because we're about the lowest numbers 542 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: we're going to be. We're going to fester at these 543 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: low numbers off and on forever. People are getting depressed. 544 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: People don't like they're sad when they're wearing a mask. 545 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: We're not. We're losing the human connection. And we just 546 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: got data that the isolation that the pandemic has promoted 547 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,239 Speaker 1: has increased the rates of heart disease and stroke by 548 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: thirty percent and increased dementia by fifty percent. So we've 549 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: got to accept a little bit of risk on COVID 550 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: to try to alleviate the harm we're seeing outside of COVID. Wizening, 551 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: Doctor McCarrick, can you just just hit that again, because 552 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: I hadn't seen or heard that. I think people really 553 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: do need to hear this. We've seen what percent increases 554 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: in heart attack and stroke during the pandemic. Yeah, so 555 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,959 Speaker 1: this is a study ironically, that data that came from 556 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: the CDCs, so just recognize the real numbers maybe twice 557 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: as high. But they reported that the effect of isolation 558 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: during the pandemic result in a twenty nine percent increase 559 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: in heart disease, thirty two percent increase in stroke, and 560 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: a fifty percent increase in dementia. People are losing their mind, 561 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: so they're locking people away is dramatically increasing their possibility 562 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: of death from a whole range of factors. That is, 563 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: that is from the CDC's own data. That's right, and 564 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: something that scientists are not honest about is that we've 565 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: lost about one hundred thousand Americans a year above what 566 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: we normally lose and in our death tolls from non 567 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: COVID mortality, what we call excess non COVID death. Nobody 568 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: is talking about that. That is something that you don't 569 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: see in Sweden, which by the way, all in all 570 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: has a far lower fatality rate per capita than the 571 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: United States. Speaking of doctor Marty McCarry and doctor McCarry, 572 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: I also want to know what you think when you 573 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: hear the CEO of Fizer Borlach saying that we are. 574 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: They're calling for the emergency authorization for a fourth shot 575 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: meeting the second booster shot, and even Fauci now says, yeah, 576 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: it might have to be shots forever. I mean, are 577 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: these people just utterly shameless, because I remember when even 578 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: last summer, when people like me and Clay and others 579 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: were saying, guys, it's gonna be shots for every year 580 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 1: for the rest of your life if they can, if 581 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: they get their way with it. I mean, do you 582 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: feel like there's any contrition from within the medical community 583 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 1: the people that pushed this kind of stuff, and now 584 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: I've realized it wasn't what they said it would be. Well, 585 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: a lot of doctors are frustrated that a company executive 586 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: now is basically taking the functional role as the director 587 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: of the United States CDC, and duct Fauci and doctor 588 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: Willinsky are playing passive. We started to see that when 589 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: Omicron came about in South Africa, Willinski and Fauci, the 590 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: NIH all took a very passive role. And the companies 591 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: did the experiments, not the United States laboratories in the government. 592 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: The companies, the pharma industry did the experiments and said 593 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: we have data telling you that you should get another shot, 594 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: and they just parroted what they without seeing the underlying data. 595 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: Just repeat it that a lot of people are frustrated, 596 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: and I think if it were up to the shareholders Advisor, 597 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: we might be getting a shot every Monday morning when 598 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: we show up to work, doctor McCarry. In your ten 599 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: things that we got wrong, meaning the public health experts, 600 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: what do you think was the biggest failure when I 601 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: read your list to me, it's shutting down the schools. 602 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: Was there a bigger failure in your mind than that? Well, 603 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you one that's just close to my heart 604 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: because I'm as surgeon who has been with people at 605 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: the end of life at the bedside and the ICU 606 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: and the way that we shut out loved ones from 607 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: saying good bye to their family members. It was a 608 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: human rights violation that spends most of the pandemic, and 609 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: all the hospitals were complicit as the establishment did nothing. 610 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: That was one of the most cruel practices this country 611 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: inflicted on its own citizens, Doctor McCarry. Are you having 612 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,479 Speaker 1: more and more people from within the medical community reach 613 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 1: out to you to either I mean, look, it's at 614 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 1: this point even more important. I would think that them 615 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: saying your right is saying that they will not allow 616 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: this to happen again. They recognize that masking up between 617 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: bites on airplanes is a moronic, anti scientific policy that 618 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: was instituted. Masking up of children in schools was an idiotic, 619 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: unscientific policy that was really child abuse on a massive scale. 620 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: I mean, are there other doctors? Will you know? We 621 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: used to have you on and there were not a 622 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: lot of you mds with real credentials who would come 623 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: forward and speak obvious truths. Are you going to be 624 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: the lone man shouting from the mountaintop the next time, doc, 625 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: or they're going to be others standing alongside you. I 626 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: think a lot of doctors now feel empowered. They've seen 627 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 1: that they've got to speak up. They you know, I 628 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: got a lot of secret praise from doctors around the 629 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: country and a bunch of us who spoke up. Did 630 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: We took a big risk because universities and medical societies 631 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: journals bully and threaten people who speak up about their 632 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: opinion different from the establishment. But we're all proud of 633 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: our medical profession and we're seeing our credibility now in 634 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 1: the toilet. And that's why doctors are speaking up down, 635 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: and they're coming around. I'm reading right now the Washington 636 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: Post doctor McCarry. They have a headline a COVID surgeon 637 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,240 Speaker 1: Western Europe has us bracing for another wave right now. 638 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: Obviously the numbers are down quite low in the United 639 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: States as the omicron variant seems to have burned out. 640 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: Do you expect to see these continuing waves in the future, 641 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: maybe even this one connected to Western Europe? There has 642 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: oftentimes been a connection between what happens in Western Europe 643 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: and what happens in the United States. Yeah, the UK 644 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: has been a pretty reliable preview of what we can expect, 645 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: and what they're seeing is an uptick. I wouldn't call 646 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: it a wave. I don't think it's going to be 647 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: a wave. What they're seeing is that the BA two 648 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: sort of second variant version of omicron is causing some 649 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: infection out there, even in people who had omicron in 650 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: the past. And so what they're noticing is an uptick, 651 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: especially in the southern region where the vaccination rates and 652 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: older people or may not be those vaccines may not 653 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: be holding up very well. I think we're going to 654 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,840 Speaker 1: see ebbs and flows for a long time and I 655 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: can guarantee you COVID's going to take a bump up 656 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: in the fall because it's now one of the regular 657 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 1: respiratory viruses. We're going to see every winter, every viral season, 658 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: Doctor McCarry, Are you confident that we will never go 659 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: and when I say we, I mean anywhere, including places 660 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 1: like New York, Los Angeles, we will not go back 661 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,919 Speaker 1: into lockdown again? Is that? Is there a consensus, even 662 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: if it's a quiet one, on lockdowns were disastrous with 663 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 1: little to no benefit. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a consensus. 664 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: I mean, look at the study out of Hopkins on lockdowns. 665 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: It was very elegant, very sophisticated. My colleagues did it, 666 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: and it was basically blown off by a part of 667 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: the country that didn't want to hear it. Here we 668 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: had the largest public health intervention in human history, that 669 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: is the lockdowns, and people are not even interested in 670 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: studying the impact of it. There's probably no better comparison 671 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: than comparing Sweden and Michigan, identical in population, identical in 672 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: their age and age distribution, yet Sweden had double the 673 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,319 Speaker 1: death of Michigan. We've got to learn our lessons, and 674 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: unfortunately I think some parts of the country are not 675 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: interested in the data or McCarry, what would you tell 676 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,279 Speaker 1: us we should know for everybody out there who is 677 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: following the storylines, what's next? I mean we're right now 678 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: today is the anniversary of fifteen days to Slow to Spread. 679 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 1: It's now been seven hundred and thirty days, two full 680 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: years since fifteen Days to Slow the Spread. What's next? 681 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: How does this continue? Well? I think the thing that 682 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: we've never accepted as a country that we still need 683 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 1: to accept is that there is a one to ten 684 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: thousand fold difference in the risk to people who are 685 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,280 Speaker 1: vulnerable and older versus people who are younger and healthier. 686 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 1: We've never talked about obesity as a risk factor. We've 687 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: got to get people active healthy, we've got to talk 688 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: about food is medicine, and we've got to start recognizing 689 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: that risk cannot be eliminated. We've got to learn to 690 00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: live with it because it's going to be here forever, 691 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,360 Speaker 1: which means every viral season we're going to see a 692 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,200 Speaker 1: bump up. You got to use common sense precautions. If 693 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: you're six, stay home, if you've been exposed, stay your distance, 694 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,720 Speaker 1: and if you're around someone vulnerable be careful. That's true 695 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: of all respiratory pathogens. At this point, influenza is as 696 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,840 Speaker 1: we're more dangerous than COVID. According to the New Financial 697 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: Times analysis that just came out. We've got to learn 698 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: to live with all these viral pathogens. Doctor Martin McCarry 699 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,240 Speaker 1: of Johns Hopkins University Medical Center, author of The Price 700 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: We Pay, He's got a piece up at clayinbuck dot com. 701 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: Ten biggest COVID mistakes Americans deserve an apology from the 702 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,640 Speaker 1: medical experts, Doctor McCarry.

Someone working with 704 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 1: Relief Factors shared a letter from Jenny, who's living in Texas. 705 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 1: She'd been taking Relief Factor for four weeks. Unfortunately, Jenny 706 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: had been hit by a car in a terrible accident 707 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: nearly a year ago, and she was in a place 708 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 1: where nothing she tried for pain relief was really working. 709 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: Jenny and her husband had heard of Relief Factor and 710 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: decided to give it a try. In a week's time, 711 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: she started noticing a decrease in the pain in her 712 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 1: lower back and an increased range of motion. You can 713 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 1: imagine she's incredibly grateful. Relief Factor has helped when everything 714 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: else she tried quit working.

We're gonna be joined by 736 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson here in about a half hour 737 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 1: to talk about the latest inside of the Senate, but 738 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: wanted to hit on a couple of different things off 739 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: the top here in the third hour one, and I'm 740 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,320 Speaker 1: going to circle back to this in just a sec. 741 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:55,360 Speaker 1: Remember that controversial bill in Florida where kindergartener's first graders, 742 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: second graders, and third graders were not to be instructed 743 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: in X related issues because they were too young, And 744 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,480 Speaker 1: everybody on social media was telling you, oh my goodness, 745 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: can you believe it? They tried to brand it that 746 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: don't say gay bill. Turns out pretty substantial portion of 747 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 1: the American public supports that bill. Want to talk about 748 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 1: that Mitt Romney, I mean, voting against a mask mandate. 749 00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: We still need to tee off on him. It's embarrassing. 750 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: I feel bad for the people of Utah that Mitt 751 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: Romney is still bowing down to the quote unquote experts 752 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: in the world of COVID. And also how about New 753 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: York City, Buck's hometown. This is a story that I 754 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,719 Speaker 1: think is going to get more and more attention. If 755 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: the players on the New York Yankees or the New 756 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: York Mets are not vaccinated, they are not allowed to 757 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: play outdoor baseball games in New York City. We've been 758 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: talking about Kyrie Irving indoors for basketball, and by the way, 759 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 1: he scored sixty points in Orlando last night. But this 760 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: is next level crazy. But let's start Buck down. In 761 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: the state of Florida, rond de Santis, it was labeled 762 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 1: that don't say gay Bill. This morning, I'm reading as 763 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: I get ready for the show. Buck and Politico came 764 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 1: out with a poll that fifty one percent of American 765 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,440 Speaker 1: voters support banning the teaching of sexual orientation and gender 766 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,840 Speaker 1: identity from kindergartener kindergarten through third grade. Thirty five percent 767 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: are opposed to this. All right, this is pretty massive. 768 00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: When you are in a fifty fifty country and you 769 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: find an issue that you're winning by sixteen points. It 770 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me because we talked about this, Buck, I'm 771 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,359 Speaker 1: a parent, talked to a lot of parents. I don't 772 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: know very many parents who believe kindergartener, first second third 773 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 1: graders should be being taught substantially about sexual identity. It 774 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: really sex at all. Were you surprise by this politico 775 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 1: finding and what does it continue to tell us about 776 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:09,279 Speaker 1: how out of touch many journalists are who cover politics. Well, 777 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,799 Speaker 1: it's it's fascinating Clay, because it seemed like in the 778 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 1: early days of this, the activists, the LGBTQ activist who 779 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 1: were pushing for this to be essentially slandered as they 780 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,720 Speaker 1: don't say gay bill, they came up with this phrase. 781 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,320 Speaker 1: It's like when you call something either say it's a 782 00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: it's not a wealth tax, it's the death tax. Right. 783 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:34,240 Speaker 1: This is classic politics orwelly in changing of words news speak, 784 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: trying to figure out ways to move the needle one 785 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: way or another based on the very specific words that 786 00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: you use. So it seemed like this was under substantial 787 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: undersubstantial pressure because all the press was asking descend and 788 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,359 Speaker 1: what happened? I think Clay, I think the activist would 789 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: have been more successful with this one at the Florida 790 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,680 Speaker 1: state level if it didn't turn into a club for 791 00:44:56,760 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 1: the live media to start swinging at. Descend just with 792 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: right away, because what happened. De Santists, unlike a lot 793 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,840 Speaker 1: of other Republicans, say oh, I'm not I'm not anti gay, 794 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: don't hate me, right, which you know this has nothing 795 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 1: to do with being anti gay. Rhonda Santist goes, where 796 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 1: is that in the bill? Right? Remember that audio? We 797 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 1: played it for everybody. He says, where is that? Show 798 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: me where that is? Why are you calling? Why are 799 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: you renaming a bill as a so called journalists something 800 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: that it is not, so that you're going to attack 801 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,480 Speaker 1: the bill with something that is a lie. And then 802 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 1: when ever, and everyone goes, oh, wait, hold on a second, 803 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 1: they're attacking De Santis on this. Now it's a national 804 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: news store. This was gonna be clay. Let's be honest. 805 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: Who had even heard of the Parental Rights and Education 806 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 1: Bill outside of Florida? Across the very few people, right, 807 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,760 Speaker 1: maybe Floridians it mattered too, but to rest the country, 808 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: it was all right, this is a Florida state bill. 809 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,399 Speaker 1: And now it's become a national cause. And now you 810 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,399 Speaker 1: have people saying, hold on a second, what do you mean? 811 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: These left wing activists are are upset that there's not 812 00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: gender identity instruction happening. For first raiders. I mean, as 813 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: I said before, a first grader may say, you know, um, 814 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: you know, one day I want to be an astronaut 815 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: and the next day I want to be a stegosaurus. 816 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,279 Speaker 1: And you know, you gotta just like, let kids be kids. Here. 817 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna start teaching about cis, gender and gender queer, 818 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,800 Speaker 1: which is another phrase that I had to learn recently. 819 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 1: I didn't even know what this means, and all these 820 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,919 Speaker 1: other terms in terminology. Now you might say, oh, buck, 821 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: they won't really do that. They just had a school 822 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: in San Antonio and the critical a race theory front 823 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,839 Speaker 1: where they were saying they they were separating kids by 824 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,840 Speaker 1: hair color and the lightest kids by a hair color 825 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 1: were to be you know, mistreated and told they were 826 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,120 Speaker 1: dumber and worse than the rest of the kids in 827 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 1: the class to teach them about inequity in society. These 828 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:52,840 Speaker 1: left wing activist bureaucrats are lunatics. And when parents find 829 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: out about this, they go, um, no, actually, I just 830 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 1: want what parents by the way, across across socioeconomic and 831 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,360 Speaker 1: racial strata, they're just saying, no, I just want my 832 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: kids to be you know, learning how to spell and 833 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,960 Speaker 1: do math and behave themselves in class. I don't want 834 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 1: them being taught this, particularly in the first and second grade. 835 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: The right once again has an opportunity here. Conservatives have 836 00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity to not just be the party of parental 837 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,879 Speaker 1: rights and education, to be the party of normal people. Yes, 838 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: to be the party of you know, we're not crazy, Like, 839 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: what is this stuff? Buck? I had a conversation with 840 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: my wife recently where I said, it disappoints me how 841 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:36,280 Speaker 1: few people can't jbn's what's JBN say, it's my acronym. 842 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: Just be normal, Just be normal. Normal parents do not 843 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: want their kids to be taught sexual related instruction in kindergarten, first, second, 844 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 1: third grade. And I got to give a lot of 845 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:54,480 Speaker 1: credit to Ronda Santis because not only did he fight 846 00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:58,320 Speaker 1: back as soon as this bill got attacked, but Buck, 847 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,880 Speaker 1: he actually went to war are with Disney? Do you 848 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: remember that? Because Disney tried to come out and say, oh, 849 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna take potshots at Rhonda Santis in the state 850 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 1: of Florida. And most of the time politicians curl up 851 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,280 Speaker 1: in the fetal position and they try to avoid these battles. 852 00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,919 Speaker 1: But this is a great example of why I think 853 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis is being way smarter than his critics, because 854 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,959 Speaker 1: so often the Blue Check Brigade members, the blue check 855 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,160 Speaker 1: journos as you like to call them, they don't have 856 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 1: the sense of what the real world is like, and 857 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 1: as a result, they think the real world is Twitter, 858 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:40,760 Speaker 1: which is where a lot of the media spends their time. 859 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 1: And if you live in New York or you live 860 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 1: in California and you spend your time on social media, 861 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: you can convince yourself that things that are wildly unpopular 862 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: in the real world are normal or supported, because if 863 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 1: I guarantee you, if you analyze Twitter for the way 864 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: that this bill was talked about, you would think, if 865 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 1: you're just scrolling through, oh my goodness, everybody's opposed to this. 866 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 1: The reality is exactly opposite. You know. Twitter is a 867 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 1: carnival funhouse mirror. It isn't a reflection of the real world. 868 00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,240 Speaker 1: And when I see these data points, it just makes 869 00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: me so angry that we still have so many people 870 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 1: in positions of power quickly reacting to whatever the story 871 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,879 Speaker 1: of the day is on Twitter, as if what those 872 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,719 Speaker 1: people are arguing in favor of is in any way 873 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,000 Speaker 1: representative of the nation as a whole, and yet when 874 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: you add this all together, you have yet again a 875 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,560 Speaker 1: moment where we can see a pathway to getting people 876 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 1: who aren't you aren't mobilized by the usual talking points 877 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,320 Speaker 1: about you know, the left or the right or whatever. 878 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 1: They're seeing with their own eyes, the reality of the 879 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,319 Speaker 1: school system during the pandemic and also increasingly with the 880 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: left wing bureaucracies that teach this and as some of 881 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,680 Speaker 1: my friend Ryan Grodusky we've had on the show before, 882 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: he always says, they don't teach CRT, they actually practice CRT, 883 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: meaning that they put kids through these exercises that are 884 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,719 Speaker 1: rooted in CRT ideology without even explaining the critical race 885 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 1: theory as what's behind it, and they make them do 886 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 1: things like the hair color. This was in a San 887 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: Antonio school, by the way. That's San Antonio, folks, right, 888 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you know this is in Texas or this 889 00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 1: isn't happening. This is not San Francisco or in you know, 890 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 1: in New York City. Yeah. And so going into this 891 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:36,120 Speaker 1: midterm election, I think this is really important because where 892 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 1: where did Republicans beat expectations the last election In Virginia, 893 00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 1: they beat it with people who were mobilized because of 894 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 1: what they'd seen in the school system, in the school system, 895 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,359 Speaker 1: and next the next time around. Yeah, there'll be people 896 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,279 Speaker 1: that will see inflation and the open border and all 897 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,839 Speaker 1: those things. The Republican base understands, and I think independence 898 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,319 Speaker 1: understand what a disaster the Biden regime is. But we 899 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 1: talk about this, alaclave, you can moblies suburban moms to 900 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: realize the Republican Party at least wants you to have 901 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 1: a say and is not crazy when it comes to 902 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:13,160 Speaker 1: your child's education. Matters a lot, matters a tremendous amount. 903 00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 1: And by the way, should we tee off on Mitt 904 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: Romney right here?
