Friday, Hour three of The Clay Travis 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. Clay on vacation, 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: This is Buck holding it down from New York Buy 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: and just spoke and last hour to the Old Nation 6 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: or whoever watching on the Jobs Report, the economy. This bill, 7 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: they really are calling it the Inflation Act, which is 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: interesting because doesn't it kind of sound like it's gonna 9 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: cause more inflation? Shouldn't They at least call it the 10 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: Anti Inflation Act? But I guess anti something doesn't sound 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: good to people. You want to be for something, not 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: anti something as a law. I guess I don't know 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: the Inflation Act. But this is where you're going to 14 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: see a lot of contentious back and forth. And we are, 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: unfortunately gonna be reliant on or we're gonna be using 16 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: economists economists predictions, and that's not always going to work 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: out the way we wanted too, because they're gonna put 18 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: out their economists, we're gonna their numbers, We're gonna put 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: out our numbers, and who's telling the truth. By the 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: time people figure out who's right, who's wrong, what the 21 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: truth is. So much has passed that people forget who 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: was saying what right? This is Half of the news 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: media would no longer have a job if being wrong 24 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: about something was brought up later on as a reason 25 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: to not listen to them anymore. They say what they 26 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: think will land well when they say it, true of politicians, 27 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: true the media, and then by the time they're wrong 28 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: about everything, they just pretend like they didn't say it, 29 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: or they just move on to something else. You all remember, 30 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: of course, the Great Rush himself saying they drive by media, 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: they destroy, they don't care, they move on. It's absolutely true. 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: So Biden is going to tell everybody, oh, there's no 33 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: reason to worry about this bill. It's gonna be amazing, 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: in fact, so amazing that they had to drag even 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: a couple of Democrats across the finished line on this one. 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: Not a single Republican vote are they getting for this. 37 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: They're going to be voting on it on the floor 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: of the Senate tomorrow. Oh, speak of the Senate A 39 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: sharp eared Well, I guess all of you heard me 40 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: say this, But for some reason, I kept confusing Delaware 41 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: and Connecticut in my mind with the Senator kons who 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: is of course from Delaware Joe Biden's homestate, not from Connecticut. 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: We were just talking about Bloomenthall. Bloomenthal is a Democrat 44 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: senator in the state of Connecticut. But let's get back 45 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: to you. So, anytime I get something wrong, I want 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: to get it right. So let us know. You're never 47 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: You're never being too much of a stickler for the facts. 48 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: If I say something that is objectively in need of correction, 49 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: please give us a heads up. And if you go 50 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: to klanbuck dot com and become a VIP, you can 51 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: email in your corrections to us to the VIP number 52 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: and make sure that we are always always getting it right. 53 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: We were still trying to live down the well. Who yes, 54 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: I think I said. Now, I can't remember what the 55 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: mistake was, but I remember who was involved, Viper versus 56 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: who's the other one from it wasn't there's Goose and 57 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: Maverick in top Gun obviously Goose rip and the Jester, 58 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: Jester and Viper. I mixed up Jester and Viper and 59 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: we got lit up on that one. You know, to 60 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: mix up Ironside with Tom? What's this? What's his Tom? 61 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: What's his face. You know that other guy who's really 62 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: important Scarritt, Tom Scarrett, grade eighties actor Michael Ironside. Actually 63 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: it really had some some good roles too, did some 64 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: good stuff anyway, So I wanted to correct that Biden 65 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: is out there making the case to people right now, 66 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: and I'd understand this the momentum. I told you it 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: is wake up week for Republicans because momentum is shifting. 68 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: Right at the critical point. The momentum is shifting, and 69 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: just a little bit. It's not it's we don't need 70 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: to run for the lifeboats or break the glass, hit 71 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: the panic button, nothing to do any of that stuff. 72 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: But this is a week where we are getting a 73 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: little dose of reality here about what's going to happen 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: going into these mid terms, what these individual races are 75 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: looking like. And I'm telling you, even if we go 76 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: into something of a more prolonged recession here, by the 77 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: time people are voting for president, it's very likely the US, 78 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: as much as Democrats make it worse, we'll be in 79 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: something of a rebound. And that's why I am not 80 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: convinced that Joe Biden is going to forego a second term, 81 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: even trying to get a second term. Here he is 82 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: out there telling everybody that if you make less than 83 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: four hundred grand, the Inflation Act is not going to 84 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: raise tax This bill will not. Let me repeat this, 85 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: this bill will not will not raise taxes on anybody 86 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: making less than four hundred thousand dollars a year. When 87 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: it comes to the benefits of this bill, you don't 88 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: have to take my word for it. The only one 89 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty economists seven Nobel lawrates an economy on 90 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: the economists and the economics, I should say, former Secretaries 91 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: of Treasury, Federal Reserve, former Federal Reserve Vice chair, former 92 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: Director of the Congressional Budget Officer wrote that this bill 93 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: will quote combine, they wrote signed, will quote fight inflation 94 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: and lower costs for American families while sending the states 95 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: for strong, stable, and broadly shared long term economic growth. 96 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: Eight hundred economists, you know five million Nobel warriors who 97 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: right Just everybody agrees to me, is what he's saying. 98 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Everybody agrees with me, who knows that anything. It's not true. 99 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: But this is the perception he's trying to create with this. 100 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 1: I would ask some very basic questions. I don't have 101 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: a PhD in economics or a Nobel prize in that field, 102 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,559 Speaker 1: as does say Paul Krugman. But I'm also not wrong 103 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: all the time. Isn't that interesting? How many of the 104 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: individuals that he cited there from that huge number are 105 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: six million economists and eight eight bajillion really smart math guys. 106 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: They're smart at the math. What do I mean by math? 107 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: I mean the numbers on the page? You add them up, 108 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: no calculator, l at old school with the pencil. Yeah, 109 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: Joe Bidenes, Let you know, that's how it goes. How 110 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: is it that they're going to raise taxes on corporations 111 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: and that tax is not going to result in higher 112 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,119 Speaker 1: prices at a time of rising prices for individuals? Just 113 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: just wondering, would love them to explain that one a 114 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: little bit. You're gonna have taxes getting boosted on manufacturers. 115 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: What do manufacturers do? They make stuff? Right, And if 116 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: they're making stuff and their costs are up as they 117 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: currently are already, but if they're raised even more artificially 118 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: by the government increasing their tax bill, what happens then 119 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: well prices go up too, even more than they already have. 120 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: But the part of this where you're really seeing ideology 121 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: in place of anything even approaching economics math. Reality is 122 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: on the energy side of it. Biden here making his 123 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: case to everybody that this is fascinating clean energy, windmills 124 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: and solar power are actually about national security. Think of 125 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: the intellectual gymnastics really more like a belly flop into 126 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: the shallow end of the pool. But think about them, 127 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: I mean the economic gymnastics required to get to this 128 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: place here he is, and make historic investments in clean energy. 129 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: Clean energy security is the security of the country's at stake. 130 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna save American families one hundreds of dollars year 131 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: on paying their energy bills by allowing them to have 132 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: money to invest, by getting allowing them to put in 133 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: new windows and doors and solar panels and the like, 134 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: and get tax credits for that. Oh boy, you know, 135 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: solar panels we need, we need. You know, it's really 136 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: gonna juice this economy. You know, it's really going to 137 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: get it all going. We throw some some tax funded, 138 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: taxpayer funded solar panels on some people's houses. This is 139 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: going to be a great idea. Yeah, China spent a 140 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: lot of time, by the way, getting access to and 141 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: really controlling the supply of rare earth metals that are 142 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: necessary for this whole battery and solar green energy future 143 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: that we was talking about in this country. So it's 144 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: fascinating they keep telling us if only we were reliant 145 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: on the windmills and the solar panels, we wouldn't have 146 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: to worry about the global energy markets. We would have 147 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: much greater security. But if you look a little deeper 148 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: into that those earth minerals in the process is used 149 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: to get them and manufacture them into the Green New Deal, 150 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: energy technologies are very high in energy cost and real 151 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: pollutants the environment. Just note that. And the Chinese have 152 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: far better access have spent much more time on acquisition 153 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: of rare earth minerals than we have, so they haven't 154 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: really thought this thing through other than climate change. Scary, 155 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: spend money on climate change issues. That's all they can 156 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: think about right now because they've been told this, and 157 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: you know which really is a lot of people want 158 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: to be told what to do. They want to be 159 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: told what to think. We saw this during COVID. Unfortunately, 160 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: it's why there's still a lot of folks walking around 161 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: with three masks on outside. Okay, only one mask, but 162 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: it's an ninety five. They're walking around because they want 163 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: someone who has all the answers or pretends to have 164 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: all the answers and makes them feel like everything is 165 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: going to be okay. Democrats are doing that with climate 166 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: change all the time. It's the world's gonna end unless 167 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: you do what we say, and then everything will be great, 168 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: and you get to be one of the good people 169 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: who have stopped this evil from befalling the whole planet. 170 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: That's the pitch, right. A lot of people go along 171 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: with it. A lot of people think that this is 172 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: exactly what they need to be a part of. Costs 173 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: them nothing really, or at least in the immediate in 174 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: the immediate sense, and they get to be saving the planet, 175 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: saving the planet, the Green New Deal, Joe Biden. These 176 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: are people who have no understanding whatsoever of the role 177 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: that fossil fuels play in the economy in a sense 178 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: of what creates our real prosperity, and where America has 179 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: a tremendous advantage over so many other countries, huge advantage 180 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: over China, and you guessed it, fossil fuel production. We 181 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: are blessed in this country with access to unbelievable energy reserves, 182 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: and the Left just wants to, out of a sense 183 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: of arrogance and spite, move us away from that as 184 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: fast as possible, at whatever the cost is, because they've 185 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: turned this into a function of religious belief. And Joe 186 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: Biden out there telling everybody that this is about national 187 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: security transitioning to greener I mean, come on, trust me. 188 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is not scared of Libs in you know, 189 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: the Valley of California putting some additional solar panels funded 190 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: by taxpayer credits onto their houses. Okay, that's not making 191 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: The Saudis aren't worried about it, the Russians aren't scared 192 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: of it. But these are the things they're trying to 193 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: sell you on with this With this bill, doesn't matter 194 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: that it's not going to work. They are dedicated to it. 195 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: Another thing where I'm wondering what the explanation is from 196 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: the Libs. We have busload right here in New York 197 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: City where I am, bus loads of illegal migrants being 198 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: dropped off courtesy of Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas 199 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: arranging this bus transportation for them, and the Mayor of 200 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: New York as well as the mayor of DC because 201 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: there are bus loads dropping off illegal migrants. There too 202 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: are complaining about this, which is so strange because I 203 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: remember hearing all the time about how we are all 204 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: made richer and better and safer and more law abiding 205 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: as a country. And the more illegal immigrants the better, 206 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: is the Democrat belief. Illegal immigrants people that just come. 207 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: We don't know who they are, we don't you know, 208 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: we just they just show up. They say here I am. 209 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: They come into the country. A lot of them are gataways. 210 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: Others surrender themselves whatever. They're fine with it. They're fine 211 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: with they want more of it. So then why is 212 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: New York complaining about it. Let's dive into that one 213 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: a little bit, shall we. I've been telling you for 214 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: months we're going to see turbulent activity in the markets, 215 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: all of them, stock market, commodity markets, even the housing 216 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: markets looking pretty shake you right now. It's an uncertain 217 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: time and you should have a new plan, a plan 218 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: to shield yourself as best you can.

And 232 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 1: viol Vice president President Vice President Area had Biden say 233 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: you want to buy an electric corvette. He's kind of mumbling, 234 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: doing the Biden thing, the vice president, I mean President, 235 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: but electric corvette, Hunt.

I'm sure he's not right wing on 246 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: a whole range of thing too, but he does have 247 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: some places where he is highly rational or in general, 248 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: it's highly rational in his thinking, and there's some places 249 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: where that makes you effectively right wing these days. Steve 250 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, what do you got for? As Steve Buck 251 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: this is I'm up here. I just was thinking, you know, 252 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: for those that have never seen the movie Red Dawn, 253 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: that's dead on what's what's gonna come? They don't get 254 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: their act together here pretty soon? Well, you think there's 255 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: gonna be an invasion involving the Soviets in Cuba, but 256 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: in this case it would be China instead, Right, China, 257 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: I think? Well, only to make your producer said, they're 258 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: not going to pass the parachute because they're already here. Well, Steve, 259 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: thanks for calling it from Minnesota. Red Dawn, the original 260 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: Red Dawn was a cult classic. Um, I'm gonna be 261 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: honest with you all. I've seen parts of it. I 262 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: haven't really seen it in one sitting all the way through, 263 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: but they did a Red Dawn remake, and I believe 264 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: it did not do very well Back in twenty twelve. 265 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: I think that North Korea instead of China was the antagonist. 266 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: Right So I'm gonna say this right now. I don't 267 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: even think the Biden administration would be incapable of repelling 268 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: an invasion by North Korea. I think they would be 269 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: able to handle that one. China would be certainly more 270 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: of a handful. But that's a reminder that you can't 271 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: even Hollywood no longer makes movies where America is the 272 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: good guy and some other country anywhere else in the 273 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: world is our opponent in the movie. They just don't 274 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: do that anymore. It's quite a shift, isn't it. You 275 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: think back to not only Red Dawn, but also Rocky 276 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: four with Ivan Drago, we were all cheering for America 277 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: against the Soviet Union. You have, the obvious antagonist would 278 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: be China in the current context. But China is such 279 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: a big market for these movies, and the Chinese Communist 280 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: Party has so many investments, so many economic levers to 281 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: pull against big companies, tech companies, creative arms of places 282 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: like Amazon, etc. That they are able to avoid any 283 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: of that, and they end up even making movies with 284 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: Matt Damon, like Great Wall, which is the most I 285 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: don't know, was that not on the list of the 286 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: biggest bombs yesterday? Because maybe it made money. It might 287 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: have even made money. The movie. I couldn't get through 288 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: more than more than ten minutes of it. I tried. 289 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, there's there's acrobats flying around with all this 290 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: colorful stuff, and there's weird lizard monsters attacking them, and 291 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: it's China, but it's the whole thing was crazy. It 292 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: was I've never done acid, but I imagine an acid 293 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: trip is something along the lines of watching Matt Damon's 294 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: Great Wall movie.

It 316 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 1: puts a spotlight on our very Signfican concern with Russia's 317 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: legal system and the Russian government's use of wrongful detentions 318 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: to advance its own agenda using individuals as political bonds. 319 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: The same goes for Paul Wheelan. We put forward, as 320 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, a substantial proposal that Russias had engaged with 321 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: us on and what Foreign Minister Lavrov said this morning 322 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: and said publicly is that they are prepared to engage 323 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: through channels we've established to do just that, and we'll 324 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: be pursuing that. That was a Secretary of State speaking 325 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: about Britney Grinder getting a nine years sentence in Russian prison, 326 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: where she's going to Russian prisons as of now for 327 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: nine years. Just yesterday, the Russians have confirmed that the 328 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: trade negotiations are under way for Victor Bout, the arms trafficker, 329 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: notor US arms trafficker who served as the inspiration for 330 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: the Nicolas Cage character in the film Lord of War. 331 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: That trade may be happening, and it would include Paul 332 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: whale In, a former marine who was wrongfully charged with 333 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: espionage in Russia. And so this is a inherently a 334 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: foreign policy issue, which is why the Secretary of State, 335 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: anytime an American has held abroad, there's a reason that 336 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: the embassy gets involved. Now that doesn't mean the embassy 337 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: gets you out, doesn't mean the American government even says, hey, 338 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to hold that person. Depends on what 339 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: you do. You know, if you're you're drunk driving and 340 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: caused a serious accident in Tajikistan. You're going to serve 341 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: some time in prison, right, doesn't matter that there's a 342 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: US embassy there. They're going to say, yeah, this person 343 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: violeted your laws. But they'll they'll be there to make 344 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: sure that you have some for you know, for humanitarian purposes, 345 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: some to process rights that they'll try to do what 346 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: they can with the host government to make sure that 347 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: the best interests of that American citizen are looked after. 348 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: Essentially is how it goes. But I know there was 349 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: a really interesting how much the audience I think yesterday 350 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: of this program really felt a whole range of emotions 351 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: over this. When it comes to Brittany Griner and I 352 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: should you know, there's this amazing story. I don't know 353 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: if anyone can there's a I've seen it pop up 354 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: over the years. I wonder if it is apocryphal. It's 355 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: supposedly from the Ronald Ronald Reagan's speech back in I 356 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: think it was the seventies where he talked about the 357 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: uss Ingram and a refugee from the Austro Hungarian Empire 358 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 1: named Kasta. I've not been able to find that much 359 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: documentation of this speech, and it looks like one of 360 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: these stories that I don't know. It's an amazing story 361 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: though for what it is, and you know what, I'll 362 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: read this one thing. I can't verify the providence of this, 363 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: but it's a good story. So we can say it's 364 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: either a speech that it's either from a speech that 365 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: Reagan gave, or it's just something that somebody made up 366 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: on the Internet that sounds like a speech Reagan gave. 367 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: And it's really good. I know there is a uss ingram. 368 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: There have been many of them, many iterations of that 369 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: in the United States Navy, but you see this one. 370 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: This is the story that pops up. And I'm wondering 371 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,719 Speaker 1: if someone could send me a true source verification for 372 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: this in Reagan's speeches, because I've done a little looking 373 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: and was naughty, and don't just send me like Reagan 374 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: speech slash net dot php underscore. It's got to be 375 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, show me. I need to see the original 376 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: source material on it. But here's the story, apocryphal or not. 377 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: In less than twenty years, would go because the god 378 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: given rights of American sailors, as defined the Constitution were 379 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: being violated by a foreign power. This is supposed to 380 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: be Reagan speaking here. We serve notice then on the world, 381 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: that all of us together would act collectively to safeguard 382 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: the rights of even the least among us. But still 383 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: in an older cynical world, they were not convinced. The 384 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: great powers of Europe still had the idea that one 385 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: day this great continent would be open again to colonizing, 386 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: and they would come over and divide us up. In 387 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: the meantime, men who yearned to breathe free were making 388 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: their way to our shores. Among them was a young 389 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: refugee from the Austro Hungarian Empire. He had been a 390 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: leader in an attempt to free Hungary from Austrian rule. 391 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: The attempt had failed, and he fled to escape execution. 392 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: In America. This young Hungarian Costa by name, became an 393 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: importer by trade and took out his first citizenship papers. 394 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: One day, business took him to a Mediterranean port. There 395 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: was a large Austrian warship under the command of an 396 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: admiral in the harbor. He had a manservant with him. 397 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: He had described to this manservant what the flag of 398 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: his new country looked like. Word was passed to the 399 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: Austrian warship that this revolutionary was there, and in the 400 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: night he was kidnapped and taken aboard that large ship. 401 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 1: This man's servant, desperate, walking up and down the harbor, 402 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 1: suddenly spied a flag that resembled the description he had heard. 403 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: It was a small American war sloop. He went aboard 404 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: and told Captain Ingraham of that war sloop his story. 405 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: Captain Ingraham went to the American consul. When the American 406 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: consul learned that Costa had only taken out his first 407 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: citizenship papers, the consul washed his hands of the incident. 408 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: Captain Ingraham said, I am the senior officer in this port, 409 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: and I believe under my oath of my office that 410 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: I owe this man the protection of our flag. He 411 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: went aboard the Austrian warship and demanded to see their prisoner, 412 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: our citizen. The admiral was amused, but they brought the 413 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: man on deck. He was in chains and had been 414 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: badly beaten. Captain Ingraham said, I can hear him better 415 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: without those chains, and the chains were removed. He walked 416 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: over and said to Costa, I will ask you one question. 417 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: Consider your answer carefully. Do you ask the protection of 418 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: the American flag Costa nodded dumbley yes, and the captain said, 419 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: you shall have it. He went back and told the 420 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: frightened console what he had done. Later in the day, 421 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: three more Austrian warships sailed into the harbor. It looked 422 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: as though the four were getting ready to leave. Captain 423 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: Ingraham sent a junior officer over to the Austrian flagship 424 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: to tell the admiral that any attempt to leave that 425 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: harbor with our citizen aboard would be resisted with appropriate force. 426 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: He said that he would expect a satisfactory answer by 427 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: four o'clock that afternoon. As the hour near, they looked 428 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: at each other through the glasses. As it struck four, 429 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: he had them roll the cannons into ports, and had 430 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: them light the tapers with which they would set off 431 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: the cannons just one little sloop. Suddenly the lookout tower 432 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: called out and said they are lowering a boat, and 433 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: they rowed Costa over to the American ship. Captain Ingraham 434 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: then went below and wrote his resignation letter for the 435 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: United States Navy. In it, he said, I did what 436 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: I thought my office of oath required, But if I 437 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: have embarrassed my country in any way, I resign. His 438 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: resignation was refused in the United States Senate with these words. 439 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: This battle that was never fought may turn out to 440 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: be the most important battle in our nation's history. Incidentally, 441 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: to this day, there always will be and has been 442 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: a uss Ingraham in the United States Navy. I don't 443 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: know if that's really from a regged speech. It's one 444 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: of these things that gets set around by like you know, 445 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,959 Speaker 1: friends or friends on the internet. It's a great story. 446 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: Is it real? I don't know, sounds real, It's well written, 447 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: but it was making its rounds and I just I 448 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: thought of this because I'd seen this for many, many 449 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: years circulating on the internet, and I thought, well, that's 450 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: kind of how I feel about any American who is 451 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: held abroad. So it please, by the way, if you 452 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: could prove it that is real, let us let me 453 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: know and send a link. That seems kind of seems suspect, 454 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: But it's the basic ethos of this I agree with, 455 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: which is that if you're an American, you're one of ours. 456 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: Even if you say annoying stuff, even if you have 457 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: bad you know, bad politics, whatever, if you're an American, 458 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: you're one of ours. And that still matters still matters 459 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: to me, and the First Amendment still matters to me 460 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: a lot too, which is why I'm I'm I haven't 461 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time thinking about this or covering 462 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: the the trial right now going on of Alex Jones. 463 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: And I'll say this, if I had watched it more closely, 464 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: if I had more time, I think I would have 465 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: spent more on it this week. But there's a lot 466 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: of things that have been happening and I just haven't 467 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: really been diving into it. Look, the stuff that he 468 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: said about Sandy Oak we all knows is atrocious, it's wrong, 469 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: and it's grotesque. But they I do remember that Alex 470 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: Jones was the first person that they really made an 471 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: example of on the Internet years and years ago, before 472 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: they were admitting that they were banning conservatives, they banned 473 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: Alex Jones, or I should say, before they were banning 474 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: people like me or or anyone else you know, for 475 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: saying masks don't work or having having any questions about 476 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: the vaccines. Alex Jones was the first person I can 477 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: remember to be deep personed in essence from the Internet 478 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: by big Tech. So I remember that lesson, and it 479 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: was because he was a they would saying he was 480 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: a crazy person, and you know he's s taking a 481 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: couple of shots at me in the past. Whatever, It's 482 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: part of the business for some people. They say things 483 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: about some people. And he said, I was I think 484 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: a CIA plant meant to take over the media, which 485 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: I wish man, that would be amazing. CIA was backing 486 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: me taking over the media. Book Sexton part of the CIA. 487 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: He's gonna just take it all over, build the Berg's Illuminati. 488 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: But he's unders He's gone through this trilogy, just got 489 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: a four million dollars judgment against it, and you know 490 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: there is this I think we've lost sight in this country. 491 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: We have both a legal and an ethical principle that 492 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: free speech, even speech that is heinous, even speech that 493 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: is wrong, is protected. I know there are exceptions with defamation. 494 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: I know there are some places where that is not 495 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 1: an absolute. But are they making an example of Alex 496 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: Jones right now, because no one's going to stand up 497 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: and in any way defend the things that he said? 498 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: Are they? Are they doing this though at some level, 499 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: because this will be a precedent that is used to 500 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: shut down people who are you vaccine critic criminals, so 501 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: to speak. Look at the lives that you've caused by 502 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: being a questioner of the vaccines. I do worry about this, 503 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: and I think that it's something we all have to 504 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. That it always starts with the 505 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: least defensible. It always starts with the people that you say, 506 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 1: oh you know that, why do you say that? Or 507 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: why is he doing that? And the left never leaves 508 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: it there.

I'll be back on Monday. 532 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: I was trying to find if there is in fact 533 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: any documentary evidence of any kind for the Ingraham cost affair. 534 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: It's looking shaky, so it might be one of those 535 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: things I've seen. I told you beforehand, I said, I 536 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: read this ASID. I don't know. It'll look at a 537 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: little shaky, look at a little bit like I don't know. 538 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: Let's see, we'll see. But you know, sometimes on the internet, 539 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: you gotta remember Abraham Lincoln's timeless maxim don't believe everything 540 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: you read on the internet. And it's very important. Abraham 541 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: Lincoln he knew what he was talking about back then. 542 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: Hardy harheart. I know it's a dad joke. I know 543 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: Greg in Iowa. How are you doing, Greg? What's going on? Buck? 544 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: I have a farm in northwest Missouri. We have two windmills. 545 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: From the first time I signed a contract with the 546 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: windmill company, it was twelve years before it produced any electricity, 547 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: thanks to all the regulations and stuff that they have 548 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: to go through. Also number two, last year there were 549 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty million cars in the United States, 550 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: and one million of them were electric cars. At that rate, 551 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: it's going to take two hundred and sixty years to 552 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: replace all of our cards. Thanks for your time, beed, 553 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. Sounds like sounds like it's going to 554 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: take quite a while before we get to a place 555 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: where that actually is going to really happen. There is 556 00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: something on Justice dot gov about the Costa affair seized 557 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: by an Austrian. Interesting. I think we have superhistorians in 558 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: this audience. Somebody must must know whether this is a 559 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: real thing or not had cost to express it. This 560 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: is from Justice dot gov and there's a footnote about 561 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: the Austrian warship story and Costa surrender, etc. Interesting. So 562 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: I don't know the plot thickens, I can tell you 563 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. There are so many I've gotten I've gotten 564 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: dinged on this before. There are so many quotes usually 565 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: attributed to either Orwell, Churchhill or Voltaire. We were like, 566 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: that quote is awesome, and it's not actually any of 567 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: those guys. It's a it's someone named Bob who lives 568 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: in central Illinois who just had a real moment of 569 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: brilliance that he that has then been attributed over the 570 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: internet to Voltaire. You know, so this is this is 571 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: the outs of theater of these days. At least we're 572 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: not all drowning in those chain email letters we used 573 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: to get all the time. You remember, that was a 574 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: thing drove me insane. People would send you some email. 575 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, like, let me make your day better. 576 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: Here are ten things, ten affirmations about how your day 577 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: is better. And then the bottom, which that part of 578 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: it's fine, I don't problem, but whatever the bottom Thoughe 579 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: was like, you better send this forward or else you're 580 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: going to have fifteen years of bad luck, go bankrupt, 581 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: and have bad health. And you're like, wait, but but 582 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: I just wanted to open my email in peace. I 583 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: just wanted to I just wanted to read, I thought 584 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: we were in the trust tree. I thought we were 585 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: in the nest. No, that was not, in fact, not 586 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: in fact the case. By the way, three and five 587 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 1: Americans wish that they ate. I saw this pole yesterday. 588 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 1: Wish they ate with their family daily. One quick note, 589 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: I remember from the wait Dave has the rea? Does 590 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,280 Speaker 1: Dave have the goods? Here?
