The Ukraine situation appears to 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: be a massive advance underway, forcing much of the Russian 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: support out of the northeast. We will talk about that tomorrow. 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: Primary day, believe it or not, one of the latest 11 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: primaries that exist anywhere. New Hampshire will be selecting several 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: different nominees. We'll talk with Caroline Levitt, who is running 13 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: in a congressional seat that is very much of a 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: Republican target. We have met her. She is formerly of 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: the Trump White House. We hung out with her some 16 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: in Park City with the Ted Cruise crew and so 17 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: we are excited to hang out with her a little bit, 18 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: introduce her to you the day before her primary. And 19 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: also we mentioned earlier, had an awesome time Thursday and 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: Friday in Austin. Thanks to all of our hosts down there. 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: We got to hang out watch Senator Cruz, disappointed, big 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: Texas Longhorn fan, big sports fan in general. We were 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: with him, our friend Bill Holmes put it together, the 24 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: Attorney General of Texas, the lieutenant governor. We had a 25 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: good time. Got to hang out with the governor at 26 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: the governor's mansion and walk through that governor's mansion bucking 27 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: the docents I guess you would call them, the people 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: who they had on that in that Governor's mansion to 29 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: kind of show you around. One of them was a 30 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: big fan of the radio program, and she was standing 31 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: right in front of the iconic painting that many of 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: you have probably seen of Davy Crockett from inside of 33 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: the Alamo. And I've seen that painting my whole life. 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: It's hanging in the Governor's mansion. And we got her 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: to take a picture of us in front of the 36 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: the Alamo portrait that is hanging in the governor's mansion. 37 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: That was super cool to get to see, I mean 38 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: to get to see that in person. It was up 39 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: on Instagram. I'm sure it'll be up on Clay and 40 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: Buck dot com as well. So we had an awesome 41 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: time down in awesome. We appreciate everybody who came up 42 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: and said, hey, we're listeners, and it was fantastic to 43 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: meet so many of you from all over Texas and beyond. 44 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: Now it is officially, if it weren't before, Buck, it 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: is official, officially midterm season, and there are a lot 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: of races going on where they're gonna be right on 47 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: the razor's edge. Our friend Ron Johnson, Senator from Wisconsin 48 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: is going to be with us tomorrow, as he will 49 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: be on with us a lot. And look, we're gonna 50 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: get as many of the people who are in tight 51 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: races on with us and try to help them out 52 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: to the best of our ability. Make sure that this 53 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: audience does everything that they can to help get many 54 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: of these people across the finish line. And I was 55 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: reading this morning. The New York Times has an early 56 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: morning distillation that they put out Buck, and I thought 57 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: it was interesting because this Morning's New York Times raises 58 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: a question that I was actually frankly surprised that The 59 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: New York Times would raise, and that is how reliable 60 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: are the polls in many of these in many of 61 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: these races right now, in particular, given how wrong they 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: were in twenty twenty, and so everybody out there certainly 63 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: listening to us in Wisconsin, Buck, I mean, there were 64 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: poles saying, hey, this is gonna be a twenty point 65 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: fifteen point race, not even gonna be close in Wisconsin. 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: And then Trump ends up losing by what was it, 67 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: twenty thousand votes according to the tally that they put 68 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: forward out of Wisconsin. So there is a recognition right 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: now that some of these are frankly not right. And 70 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: what's intriguing about this I'm looking at them right now. 71 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: It talks about all the different polls and the ones 72 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: that are worth paying attention to, in particular, I think Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania. 73 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: I think the Democrats are nervous because this story came 74 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: out this morning talking about, hey, are is the Senate 75 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: polling right? Because if somethings are wrong, we could be 76 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: seven or eight points off. So what's amazing if anyone's wondering, 77 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: I mean the overview, I'm looking at the data they 78 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: have here right now. What they do is look at 79 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen like pole error, what the twenty twenty 80 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: poles were, and what the actual result was, and no 81 00:04:51,320 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: surprise to anybody, the polls overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly show a favoritism 82 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden in every case. Essentially, they always are 83 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: telling you that if Trump is ahead, he's actually ahead 84 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: by less than the final vote show. And if Trump 85 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: is behind, they exaggerate how much he's behind, or rather 86 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: if Biden has an advantage, the Biden advantage is always 87 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: and this is in Wisconsin, Michigan. Penzias never works in 88 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: Republicans favor ever in any part. It's just like it 89 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: reminds me so much of It's just like how we 90 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: always say the things the media gets wrong. And I 91 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: don't mean that I disagree or you disagree, but the 92 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: things where they are just factually there's a there's a 93 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: special uplink to a Russian bank. Remember CNN ran that 94 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: story at Trump. Every time there's a massive blunder, fake 95 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: news story, it's a story that was harmful to Trump 96 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: without exception. And what this is showing you is that 97 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: the polling data every time, now national level pollsters that 98 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: all the media is citing it always favors Biden. They're 99 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: always telling you Biden's doing better, Biden's doing better. This 100 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: is true of Democrats more generally, and people would say, well, Buck, 101 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: why don't they just say that Biden's are head by that? 102 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: You know, why even make it close a propaganda for 103 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: it to be effective has to be believable. If they 104 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: were way off, they would lose too much credibility. If 105 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: they were way off, people would ask questions, if you want, 106 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: let's say, let's just pick one race, Clay, if you 107 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: want to help Democrats in the race, you don't want 108 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: to say that herschel Walker is down ten points because 109 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: people will say, well, that's not credible or you don't 110 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: need to vote, like that's the worst case scenario. Right, 111 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: Oh well Warnocks got this, so I'm not even going 112 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: to vote. So what you want to do is say, oh, 113 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: no't worry. I mean Warnock probably gonna win. You want 114 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: to say he's up four points. You want to say 115 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: he's up three points when in reality it's a dead heat, 116 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: right because also Republicans then you know it's Republicans and 117 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: may see this and say, well, if it's four points, 118 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: I don't really know does my vote really count. They're 119 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: trying to suppress and depress enthusiasm and turn out with 120 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: polling polling as part of the propaganda. That's my bottom line. 121 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: I think you're right, and this is a great illustrative 122 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: point that I would encourage all of you out there 123 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: to apply to people who are independent, left leaning, reasonable 124 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: conversations if there was no bias involved in the way 125 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: the media covers Republicans and particularly Trump, and certainly this 126 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: supplies perfectly for the bias on the polls too. How 127 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: come there's never a super positive Trump story from MSNBC 128 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: or The New York Times or CNN or the Washington 129 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: Post that ends up wrong. You can't even name a 130 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: story where Trump looked good and they came out and 131 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: they said, hey, you know what those eight puppies that 132 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: we claimed Trump saved. That story's actually not true at all. 133 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: There isn't a single one of those. And the reason 134 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: why is because propaganda. News media gets things wrong. I 135 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: got something wrong in my column that I wrote yesterday. 136 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: I got Georgia Southern and Georgia State mixed up. Yeah, 137 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: people are furious at me. How dare I get a 138 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: football analysis mix up Georgia Southern and Georgia State. But 139 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: that's an error, right, Like it's easy to kind of 140 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: do that I'm not biased against Georgias Southern or Georgia's state. 141 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: If the media just made mistakes, which we all do, 142 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: it would go in both directions. It would both if 143 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: the pollsters weren't biased, Yes, if there wasn't something else 144 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: at work. This data, which even the New York Times. 145 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: But the data is out there, so anybody can crunch 146 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: these numbers. Yes, they got twenty sixteen. I mean everyone 147 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: remembers Hillary had the New York Times. Yeah, yeah, ninety 148 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: seven percent chance of winning the election. I mean that's 149 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: if I told somebody that had a ninety seven percent 150 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: chance of waking up tomorrow, or they'd probably sleep, Okay, 151 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean, ninety seven percent is a done deal basically 152 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: for an election. And obviously it didn't. You know, it 153 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: went a very different direction. But this is why people 154 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: who say it used to be, oh, it's a don't 155 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: be a conspiracy theories. You can trust the polls. No, 156 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: you actually can't trust the polls. You can get an indication, 157 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: a general indication of what's close and what's not with polling, 158 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: but there's always a built in favoritism for Democrats in 159 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: the polls, and you can you know, maybe it's strategic 160 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: it Maybe also it's just a level of bias too. 161 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: They just assume that the numbers are going to trend 162 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: more with you know, uh, suburban moms or whatever it is. 163 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: They just assume, because of course they would based on 164 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: the following criteria. But Clay, I also think the more 165 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: inaccurate the polls are, the less likely people who our 166 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: Republican are to take pole questions seriously and or respond 167 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: to them when they get reached out too by whoever 168 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: these pollsters are. And the other thing I'll add it 169 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: used to be what was the staple with which people 170 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: conducted poles in the past. Phone land lines? Right, everybody 171 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: had a phone land line. Almost no one has a 172 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: phone land line. When was the last time, Buck, you 173 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: answered a phone number from a call that you didn't have, 174 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: the name you didn't already have programmed in your phone. 175 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: Can't even remember. I don't remember the last time that 176 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: I would have answered, like, and for people out there, 177 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: you know you got whatever it is, one hundred two 178 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: hundred names that are saved in your phone, whatever that 179 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: number is. If it's not that number, I presume it's spam. 180 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time that I would have 181 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: done this. So can I just on the polling thing 182 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: with with someone like Federman, for example, Clay, because I 183 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: know you we've got this. We've got incredible audio audio 184 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: for Fetterman. I'm telling you they're trying to different in 185 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: every race. The polls that are showing Federman, you know, 186 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 1: ahead of Oz a lot of this. You know, the 187 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: the amount of the gap, the amount of the distance 188 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: from the two is wish casting by Democrats who are 189 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: trying to demoralize Republicans into thinking that it is a 190 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: lost race. That's what I think's happening here here. I've 191 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: got two different clips for you from tight elections. Let's 192 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: start actually with Mark because said for a while, Mark 193 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 1: Kelly has basically said nothing for six years. I used 194 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: to be an astronauts Mark Kelly's entire campaign. Here he 195 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: has asked a pretty simple question. This is a one 196 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: on one interview. He's actually having to talk to the 197 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: media the question. You know that this question is coming, 198 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: which makes the answer even more funny. Hey, is Joe 199 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: Biden doing a good job? Arizona Senator Mark Kelly is 200 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: asked why television is Joe Biden doing a good job? 201 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: Listen to his response. Your thoughts on his job? Is 202 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: he done a good job? Do you think, Hey, you know, 203 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: I you know, first of all, it's not my job 204 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: to give him a report card? That is that is 205 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: not I don't know, that would be all systems failure. 206 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: I think if you were an astronaut and you were 207 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: right now, can we play that one more time? If 208 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 1: you got if you got to ask any question, are 209 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: you happy in your man? Like any are you happy 210 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: in your marriage? But if you got asked, hey, how 211 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: excited are you about your wedding? And you were like, 212 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: you're in trouble. You just listen to this. It's the 213 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: easiest question out there. President, Do you think he's doing 214 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: a good job or not? Here's astronaut Mark Kelly. I 215 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: think the plane just crashed. Your thoughts on his job? 216 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: Is he done a good job? Do you think? Hey, 217 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, I you know, first of all, it's not 218 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: my job to give him a report card? All right? 219 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: I think it Actually I think it is. I think 220 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: he's your president, and I think you should have some 221 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: But is this we gotta tell everybody? Is this more 222 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: or less telling at a moment than even the lea 223 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: I just want all of you to think about that answer. 224 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: Remember Mark Kelly voted for Joe Biden every single time 225 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: to make sure that he got to fifty votes, and 226 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: he can't even answer that question. That is such a 227 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: fun I would be running that everywhere if I was 228 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: Blake Masters right now. Absolutely, folks will come back to 229 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: that a second. You'll hear about this fetterman audio. I mean, honestly, 230 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: he should suspend his campaign. But we'll we'll get there 231 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: in a second. Yesterday on nine to eleven, so many 232 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: of us stopped what we were doing to remember the 233 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: events of that day twenty one years ago. The horrible 234 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: news that two thousand, nine hundred and seventy seven people 235 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: were killed in terrorist attacks on American soil will never 236 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: be forgotten. The Tunnel of the Towers Foundation has been 237 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: supporting America's heroes and their families ever since. When a 238 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: first responder or military service member doesn't come home and 239 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: young children are left behind, Tunnel the Towers pays off 240 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: their mortgage to lift the financial burden and bring their 241 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: family stability. Our nation's heroes, people who put their lives 242 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: on the line for our country and our communities, need 243 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: your help. Help these heroes and their families join Tunnel 244 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: of the Towers on its mission to do good in 245 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: their honor. Clay and I both donate every month the 246 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: Tunnel of the Towers. We encourage you to please do 247 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: the same. Donate eleven dollars a month now just go 248 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: to T two t dot org again, that's Tune of 249 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: the Towers Foundation at t the number two T dot org. 250 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: A tight Senate race in the state of Pennsylvania, as 251 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: we all know, tight Senate race between doctoras and Fettermanden 252 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: and it's it's fascinating because it really shouldn't be close 253 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: at all. If people were making a decision, a decision 254 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: based upon a candidate's ability to just do the kinds 255 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: of analysis, thinking, reasoning communication necessary to be an effective senator. 256 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: Feederman can't do those things. It is increasingly obvious it 257 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: is increasingly the case that Fetterman is somebody who needs 258 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: to take time to focus on his health. Here is 259 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we played a clip for you, I think 260 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: it was last week. Here is yet another moment where 261 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: Fetterman is speaking to people, and no one can pretend, 262 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: at least with any honesty, that this is normal. It's 263 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: such the most important race for the Senate here for 264 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: twenty two. We have to replace Hi Tommy. Senator Tommy 265 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: was not very nice to me. He too, Mey is 266 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: a miracle. How much how much more of this you think, 267 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: Clay we are subjected to? First of all, he's I 268 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: do not believe he's gonna debate Oz. I think they're 269 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: gonna play They're gonna say they're gonna debate, and then 270 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna play games at last minute. I think he 271 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: knows that a one hour debate that the people of 272 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania would see it and say this is reckless. It 273 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: would end his It would end his political race. I 274 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: believe the only thing that he has in his favor 275 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: might be that the bar is so low that if 276 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: he just goes out and doesn't completely fall flat on 277 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: his face. But Buck, I honestly don't know if he 278 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: has this stamina and the health capacity to stand on 279 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: a stage underneath bright lights and talk for two hours. 280 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm not saying this, it's unfortunate for 281 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: anybody out there who has had a family member who 282 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: has had a stroke, who has had a health condition 283 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: of this severity, to have to deal with it is 284 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: incredibly difficult. But It is reckless for them to be 285 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: arguing that this guy is healthy enough to be a 286 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: United States senator when he can't even stand on a 287 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: stage and talk for barely five or six minutes at 288 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: a time. I just saw those a Franklin and Marshall 289 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: College Center for Opinion Research poll that has that has 290 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: Oz down thirteen points to Fetterman. There's no way. Yeah, 291 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 1: there's just no way that's actually going. I mean, this 292 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: is what I mean about the polling. And this is 293 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: the land of make believe. Now, yeah, it's a and look, 294 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: I mean they're going to try to tamp down doctor 295 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: Oz's turnout because there was a brutal Republican primary here. 296 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: But this guy can't speak, and he almost died in May. 297 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: And frankly, I don't know if he's going to be 298 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: healthy enough to serve a term at all, much less 299 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: survive one. It's awful. I hope he gets well, but 300 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: he should have to drop out of this race, and 301 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: certainly he should have to debate beyond the shadow of 302 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: a doubt. If you own a business, there may be 303 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: a refund of taxes in store for you. How great 304 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: would that be?

Welcome back in Klay Travis 321 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: buck Sexton, show a shade all of you hanging out 322 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: with us. So I know Ukraine has been going on 323 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: for a while and it's kind of faded onto the 324 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: back burners. Even some of the blue check mark brigade 325 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: have taken down their Ukraine flags because they're trying to 326 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: search for whatever the newest new thing is. Maybe it's 327 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: reparations from the Queen. I don't know what the newest 328 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: new thing will be. But there's actually really interesting news 329 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: that came out over the past couple of days about 330 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: an offensive that has been undertaken by Ukraine and what 331 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: the impact might be going forward. And we are joined 332 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: now by Bill Rogio, senior fellow at the Foundation for 333 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: the Defensive Democracies. He's an editor of the Long War 334 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: Journal and a US Army veteran. All Right, I feel 335 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: like a lot of people out there are not that 336 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: plugged in with what has just happened in Ukraine. Bill, 337 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: what can you tell us about the latest there and 338 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: why it's significant. Yeah, the Ukraine definitely has faded for 339 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people. I think you're right. People want 340 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: to move on to the next new thing. But look, 341 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: this is a war that is and it's not a war, 342 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: you know, it's not a quick fixed war. Both sides 343 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: are massing their forces and what we saw happen in 344 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: the last of four or five days is the Ukrainians 345 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 1: first they launched an offensive in the south Russian in 346 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: the curse On area. This is near the quart city 347 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: of Odessa, a strategic area for obviously for Ukraine if 348 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: they can't use the black sports right now, and it 349 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: secuted for the Russians for multiple reasons. The Russians redeployed 350 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: forces from northern Ukraine. That we're near the city of Kharkiv, 351 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: one of the largest cities in Ukraine. They redeployed forces 352 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: to adjust, and the Ukrainians massed up in the north 353 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: and they've taken a large area from the Russians. The 354 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: Russians were in full draw over the weekend. They took 355 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: a lot of small towns and small cities in the 356 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: area and they put it looks like they and it's 357 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: hard to determine this right now, but it looks like 358 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,440 Speaker 1: they pushed the Russians back up in from the northeast 359 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: all the way up to the border. The Russians are 360 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: claiming that it was a strategic withdraw, but they look 361 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: like they lost a lot of ammunition and possibly armored 362 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: vehicles and definitely some armored vehicles. I see images of that. 363 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: So the Russians are in the back on their back 364 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: foot up in the north the Russians has stalled the 365 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: Ukrainian offensive in the south and Curson. But yeah, things 366 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: don't look good for the Russians right now. I'll tell 367 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: you the Ukrainians are a determined fighting force. They're well organized, 368 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: and I think the US weapons are that have been 369 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: supplied are having an effect. The Russians are just not 370 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: adjusting well to occupying territory in the Ukraine. Bill it's buck. 371 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: There are these reports as well along with this offensive 372 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: and the territory that's been taken of large numbers of 373 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: Russian prisoners of war being taken by the Ukrainians and 374 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: a lot of Russians. And again this is reporting, and 375 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of you know, stuff that ends 376 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: up getting reported that has to be other walked back 377 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: or is not true. But it seems that this aligns 378 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: with what we're seeing with this offensive, that you have 379 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: a lot of Russian soldiers who are surrendering. I even 380 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: read about a phone line that Russians can call to 381 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: essentially arrange their surrender to Ukrainian forces. What can you 382 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: tell us about that, because that starts to sound like 383 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: morale among the Russian forces is collapsing. Yeah, what happened 384 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: up in the north is that the Russians depleted the line. 385 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 1: They have basically a skeleton force in the Khargav region. 386 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: The Ukrainians launched a quick counter offensive. They move through 387 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: surrounded Russian forces. It's unclear the number of prisoners the 388 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: Ukrainians and to overestimate this from what I've seen as 389 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: scores the hundreds of Russian troops that have either think 390 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: that have been captured number maybe larger um. We just 391 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: have to wait and see how that all settles out. 392 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: I think the collapse is more related to the paucity 393 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: of the Russian troops that were in the in the 394 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: are They basically left the trip wire and they thought 395 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: they could defend it with artillery and rockets and missiles 396 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: and things of that nature, that they could would be 397 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: able to hit a counter counterstrike against this counter offensive. 398 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: But it didn't work the way the Russians hoped for. 399 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: Certainly they a number of troops have been captured. We 400 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: just don't know how many. I don't I think that's 401 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: more of a man power issue than rallishue. But that 402 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: can have it an effect going down the line. If 403 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: the Russians are leaving their forces like this in other areas. 404 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: I think the reality is this is this is a 405 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: result of Putin not going on full military footing. He's 406 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: trying to fight in an economy of for its offensive 407 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: against the Ukrainians, and that's not working. This is not 408 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: the old Soviet doctrine. And coming back to hurt by 409 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: Putin right now, he's going to have to figure out 410 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: how to readjust this war. Is you're going to have 411 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: to call up the reserves and initiate a draft and 412 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: push more troops there, or are you going to be 413 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: content with holding the games? And now? I think that's 414 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: the best the Russians could hope for now, holding the 415 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: games in the don Boss where they did have significant 416 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: success over the summer, and holding that curse on front 417 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: as well. Certainly, winter is a massive impact on what 418 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: you can do in the field of battle. When does 419 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: this winter arrive in such significance that we kind of 420 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 1: have a pause? Do you anticipate that that would occur? 421 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Russia having to make decisions? Is there 422 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: any concern that as Russia is embarrassed, that Vladimir Putin 423 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: could decide to use strategic nuclear weapons to attack here. 424 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: Is that a concern. It's always a concern. I don't 425 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: I think the likelihood is low unless the Russian force 426 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: is in Donbas are you know, unless they're overwhelmed. I 427 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: think that might be a case for the deployment of 428 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: chemical or perhaps nuclear weapons, but I put the likelihood 429 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: of that as to be to be low. But I 430 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: don't discount anything. That is a major concern that if 431 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: the Russian forces do collapse uh in, particularly in the 432 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: Donbas region, then then all bets are off in what 433 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: may bill Also, people are starting to ask out loud 434 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: what happens if Ukraine wins? Um? So I would want 435 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: to know, one, how much of a possibility do you 436 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: see that? As in the Russians have effectively a full 437 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: scale withdrawal from all the areas they invaded at the 438 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,479 Speaker 1: beginning of this year, um And would the Putin regime 439 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: would Putin as leader stay? Would he survive in his 440 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 1: role if this does turn into a full scale Ukrainian 441 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: victory in repelling this invasion. Yeah. I to answer the 442 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: second question first, I think it's very unlikely Putin would 443 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: be able to survive a full Ukrainian victory. I think 444 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: the likely what the likely outcome is is this war 445 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: probably will scale me particularly on the don Bus front. Now, look, 446 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: Russia's even though they suffered this loss, they're going to 447 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: have more forces now to redeploy into the don Bus 448 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: region that's sort of their central eastern area, and then 449 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 1: on the southern front in Curson, they will have more 450 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: forces available to reinforce. And to answer your question about 451 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: the timing of this, probably late November early December, where 452 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: things where it becomes far more difficult through the Ukrainians 453 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: to go on the offensive and probably wouldn't see any 454 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: type of offensive activities until late February early March, you know, depending, 455 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: But yeah, Putin has to be thinking about holding onto 456 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: his games right now. The Ukrainians they're feeling it right now. 457 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: They're confident that they can they can have battlefield success. 458 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: What happened in the cark Of front is just as 459 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: bad as what happened in the Kiev fronts the Russian 460 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: I think the Russian military is better organized in the 461 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: south and in the central sector than it was in 462 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: the north with the Kievan Car confronts. Is it possible 463 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: that Putin could try to find a way to still 464 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: declare victory and just in this thing. I think that 465 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: it is possible that he is, particularly if it does 466 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: fail me over time, if the Russians are able to 467 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: commit the right amount of forces to hold their games 468 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: in the Don Boss in the south, then we may 469 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: have a situation arise like it was after the two 470 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen invasion in the eastern or part of 471 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: Don Boss and in the Crimea. I think that's probably 472 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: the likely outcome, but who knows. I mean, it's hard 473 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: to predict how the losses in Karkv affects the Russian 474 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: forces in the sense in southern portions of Ukraine. Outstanding stuff. 475 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: Bill Rossio, Senior fellow at the Foundation for Defensive Democrats Democracies, 476 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 1: editor of the Long Award Journal, and a US Army veteran. 477 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: We appreciate you.

When would I even start buck if 506 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: I was just like, you know what, I want to 507 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: go get my shots. Remember, they're telling me that I 508 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: have to get into the COVID vaccine stone age, Sir, 509 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: you are, You're in like the place to see up 510 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: at this point, and that's not the stone age, I know. 511 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: But people are gonna people are gonna call me out 512 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: on that. I'm just saying an old, old, old school. Yeah, 513 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 1: I don't even know what's supposed to at first of all, 514 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: the fact that you have a whole new a whole 515 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 1: new shot. They say that's geared for omicron and BA 516 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: five and these other things. But I think you're still 517 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: supposed to get shot number one and anticipation of all 518 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: those shot number two, which would then have to be 519 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: a booster. That's what we call it. But if you 520 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: want in depth analysis of complicated health policy matters, you 521 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: can't do any better than Karine. Jean Pierre, you've been 522 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: referring to this new shot as the updated COVID nineteen vaccine. 523 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: Can you explain a little bit more of the decision 524 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: to no longer be calling it just a booster. Well, 525 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: we have to remember we haven't seen a vaccine, a 526 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: new vaccine since December twenty twenty. Our health and medical 527 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: experts made an independent determination that we now have new, 528 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: updated vaccine, as you just said, to fight COVID. What 529 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: this vaccine does It targets the omicron variant, which is 530 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: the dominant variant, not just here but globally. And this 531 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: is this is good news. This is a step forward, 532 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: and we're going to hear more from the president about this. 533 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: So what does she even what is the answer? I also, 534 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: why would we think that the omicron variant would be 535 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: what people are facing and this intercurely not going to be. 536 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: It's going to be a new variant that the shot 537 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: does nothing for, which is why bucked the idea. Just pretend. 538 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a round a third of 539 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: the population that is like me and never got the 540 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: COVID shot. So the Biden administration is telling us, not 541 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: that I'm going to get this useless shot anyway, but 542 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: the Biden administrate. I've had in COVID twice, made three 543 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: four times, who knows how many times I've had it 544 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: at this point, two times for sure, but the Biden 545 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: administration is telling everyone you can't go get the new 546 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: shot until you get the two original shots, which were 547 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: available back in December of twenty twenty. So I'm two 548 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: years behind. It would take me like eight months or 549 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: a year to even be able to catch up to 550 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: the new shot, right because you have to wait three 551 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: months after the first one and then wait another three month. 552 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about me being like well into 553 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three before I would even be eligible for 554 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: the new variant, which by the way, will be dealing 555 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: with omicron, which I already had. So all of this 556 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: is crazy, and let's just not underrate what's going on here. 557 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: They're still trying to call it a vaccine, and I 558 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: want you to just strip your mind right now. Take 559 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: away COVID, take away the idea that COVID had ever existed. 560 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: If you had gotten six shots for measles and you 561 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: still got measles, would you be asking questions about whether 562 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: the measles shot or because a lot of people are like, oh, 563 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: you can't question. I think you're even giving it. I 564 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: think you're even giving it more credited in your in 565 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: your setup here because it's not get six shots for 566 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 1: measles and then they say you're good. It's if you 567 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: had to get a shot every single year for measles 568 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: and it didn't work and you still got measles every year. Yes, 569 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: that's actually what we face now, friends, Just so we're 570 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: all very clear, is a vaccine that you have to 571 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: get yearly, multiple doses yearly that will not stop you 572 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: from getting the infection. And you're already at about a 573 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: ninety nine, depending on your age, ninety nine point seven 574 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: percent chance of being fined even if you get it anyway. Yeah, 575 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: all that's true, And we need to have Alex Berenson 576 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: on at some point in the next week or two buck, 577 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: because I've been reading a data and there are now 578 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: alarming questions about what these shots could be doing to 579 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: fertility in many different countries where they have been widely distributed. 580 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: And that is both women and men potentially having issue 581 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: having children. We can't tell which which is more dominant, 582 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: but the number of children is collapsing in many of 583 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: these these places that are most vaccinated, most shot given. 584 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: I want everyone to know this to no matter what 585 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 1: the data eventually shows on these shots. The people who 586 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: pushed this on you, who thought, who treated you and 587 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: use the force of the state to treat you like 588 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: you were a monster if you didn't want to get 589 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: the shot, including my man Clay here, they will not 590 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: be sorry for what they did. I want everyone to 591 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: be psychologically prepared for this, because the whole thing was 592 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: about appeal to authority and political mobilization, and they got 593 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: what they wanted in that respect. It wasn't about your health, 594 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't about safety. It was we do this because 595 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: we're told, and we do this because this is what 596 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: the good, smart Democrats are doing. So they won't actually 597 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: have any regrets, meaning they may eventually have to admit 598 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: the shots suck, they don't work very well, they have 599 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: a lot more side effects than we were told. And 600 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: God forbid, this turns out to be an early data 601 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: thread that plays out and is as worrying about the 602 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: fertility issue as Clay. You're saying. The barrens and data 603 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: looks like maybe the case. Right now, the people that 604 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: all this will express no remorse. They are incapable of 605 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: being remorseful about this because they still think that they're 606 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: the good people in this whole equation. And that is 607 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: why for the election. If this is your only chance 608 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: for everybody out there, your only chance to hold them 609 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: to account for that did during COVID starts in two 610 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: months or less than that, whatever it is six weeks. 611 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: And also asking questions is still not allowed. So the 612 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: question that Berenson is asking now, which is is this 613 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: having an impact on fertility in the most COVID shot 614 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: laden countries? People will get mad if you ask those questions, 615 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: just as they got mad when you asked, hey, does 616 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: the mask really make sense? Hey? Are you sure that 617 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 1: this SHOT's going to stop and prevent me from getting 618 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: COVID or ever spreading it? All of these things buck 619 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: that you are not allowed to discuss. It's amazing how 620 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: many of them end up being true. And this is 621 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: what we're just talking about. Some of the statistical data 622 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: which everyone has access to, is very alarming about what 623 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: this SHOT's doing to be young, healthy people. I had 624 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: I had an end ninety five masker sitting next to 625 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: him in my flight from Texas to New York. Over there, 626 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: we are to be faire steady next to carry, but 627 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: right next to us. Pull the masks down once you 628 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: wanted to go to sleep, though, because like that's uncomfortable 629 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: so that I'm glad the science a COVID doesn't spread 630 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: when you're snoring, folks. That's the way this goes. It's ridiculous, 631 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: isn't it the whole thing. I didn't see hardly anybody 632 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: on my flight back from Austin wearing a mask, but 633 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: that's because I'm flying from the Free State of Texas 634 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: to the Free State of Tennessee. Thank the Lord, because 635 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 1: I would be losing my mind if I was still 636 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: seeing tons of people walking around with their masks on. 637 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: You're all a bunch of the economy coming up.
