With crime out of control 4 00:00:23,417 --> 00:00:26,497 Speaker 1: in major cities across the country, it appears some voters 5 00:00:26,617 --> 00:00:31,057 Speaker 1: might start to hold prosecutors accountable. This week, San Francisco's 6 00:00:31,257 --> 00:00:35,137 Speaker 1: ultra progressive district Attorney Chesa Budan is facing a recall 7 00:00:35,177 --> 00:00:38,457 Speaker 1: election so he could be removed from office. That's right, 8 00:00:38,497 --> 00:00:42,577 Speaker 1: San Francisco is turning against its very progressive da to 9 00:00:42,737 --> 00:00:45,657 Speaker 1: the tide, really be turning against the far left criminal 10 00:00:45,737 --> 00:00:49,577 Speaker 1: justice reform effort. I'll answer that, and tonight's hold the line. 11 00:00:55,777 --> 00:00:58,137 Speaker 1: Welcome to hold the line. I'm Buck Sexton. You may 12 00:00:58,177 --> 00:01:00,097 Speaker 1: have seen over the weekend there were a lot of 13 00:01:00,577 --> 00:01:04,697 Speaker 1: mass shootings that occurred in places like Chattanooga, Tennessee, and 14 00:01:04,897 --> 00:01:08,137 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and a whole range of other cities. Multiple 15 00:01:08,177 --> 00:01:11,897 Speaker 1: people shot, many cases old, dozens wounded. Here's just a 16 00:01:11,977 --> 00:01:15,937 Speaker 1: CBS news headline. At least thirteen were killed dozens wounded 17 00:01:15,937 --> 00:01:20,377 Speaker 1: in weekend mass shootings across the US. Horrendous and unthinkable, 18 00:01:20,577 --> 00:01:23,297 Speaker 1: is of course the quote here, and that's true. Accept 19 00:01:23,337 --> 00:01:25,697 Speaker 1: it is not unthinkable in so far as this happens 20 00:01:25,897 --> 00:01:27,897 Speaker 1: pretty frequently. You look at what goes on in a 21 00:01:27,937 --> 00:01:32,777 Speaker 1: normal weekend in Chicago. This has become far too routine 22 00:01:32,817 --> 00:01:36,057 Speaker 1: in this country. So yes, it is horrendous. But the 23 00:01:36,137 --> 00:01:40,257 Speaker 1: reality is we are going through a continued surge in 24 00:01:40,417 --> 00:01:44,897 Speaker 1: violent crime in this country, and it's from shootings, murders, 25 00:01:44,897 --> 00:01:47,377 Speaker 1: the worst kinds of violent crimes all the way down 26 00:01:47,377 --> 00:01:52,217 Speaker 1: to the day today. Anarchy of lawlessness and people feeling 27 00:01:52,577 --> 00:01:56,657 Speaker 1: like they can get away with breaking laws with impunity. 28 00:01:56,817 --> 00:01:58,737 Speaker 1: I mean, for example, this was just in New York City, 29 00:01:58,737 --> 00:02:03,217 Speaker 1: a Dwayne Reid store here where an individual stole from 30 00:02:03,217 --> 00:02:08,017 Speaker 1: the store, returned ten minutes later after being engaged in theft, 31 00:02:08,097 --> 00:02:13,097 Speaker 1: after being a shoplifter to attack staff with a bike chain. 32 00:02:13,617 --> 00:02:16,337 Speaker 1: And he's got to know that he's on video. He's 33 00:02:16,377 --> 00:02:19,297 Speaker 1: not even wearing a mask, doesn't care. Figures. You know, 34 00:02:19,337 --> 00:02:22,057 Speaker 1: worse comes to worse, he'll get arrested and he'll be 35 00:02:22,097 --> 00:02:24,257 Speaker 1: out within a couple of hours, and then he'll have 36 00:02:24,337 --> 00:02:27,297 Speaker 1: some progressive in the distric Attorney's office here in New 37 00:02:27,377 --> 00:02:28,937 Speaker 1: York who says, oh, well, we don't want to make 38 00:02:29,017 --> 00:02:31,697 Speaker 1: that guy's life too hard. So you know, let's give 39 00:02:31,737 --> 00:02:33,297 Speaker 1: him another chance, and then we'll give him another or 40 00:02:33,297 --> 00:02:35,177 Speaker 1: after he gets arrested again, and then another after he's 41 00:02:35,257 --> 00:02:37,937 Speaker 1: arrested again. This is what is playing out in cities 42 00:02:38,257 --> 00:02:42,617 Speaker 1: all across the country, and progressive prosecutors, as in far 43 00:02:42,697 --> 00:02:45,177 Speaker 1: left Democrats, are at the heart of all of it. 44 00:02:45,657 --> 00:02:48,497 Speaker 1: People are starting to figure it out. It's not just 45 00:02:48,617 --> 00:02:51,417 Speaker 1: defund the police that has made our criminal justice system 46 00:02:51,737 --> 00:02:55,457 Speaker 1: so much weaker than it previously had been. It's also 47 00:02:55,497 --> 00:02:59,017 Speaker 1: the progressive prosecutor movement and their desire to end what 48 00:02:59,057 --> 00:03:02,817 Speaker 1: they call mass incarceration, which means just let people out 49 00:03:02,857 --> 00:03:07,017 Speaker 1: of prison, don't punish them as severely for offenses that 50 00:03:07,417 --> 00:03:11,377 Speaker 1: everybody realizes are bad. But you know, social justice is 51 00:03:11,377 --> 00:03:14,697 Speaker 1: more important than criminal justice. That has become the de 52 00:03:14,937 --> 00:03:19,057 Speaker 1: facto mantra of the libs in these prosecutors offices who 53 00:03:19,057 --> 00:03:22,017 Speaker 1: are making these decisions. Well, Psi Boudan, who has turned 54 00:03:22,457 --> 00:03:28,337 Speaker 1: San Francisco into something approximating an urban hellhole. He is 55 00:03:28,497 --> 00:03:32,497 Speaker 1: finally facing voters who have realized what a mess he 56 00:03:32,537 --> 00:03:35,377 Speaker 1: has made of their city. On Tuesday, come up tomorrow, 57 00:03:35,417 --> 00:03:39,617 Speaker 1: Boudan faces voters in a recall election backed by business 58 00:03:39,617 --> 00:03:42,097 Speaker 1: owners who are unhappy with his performance, to say the least. 59 00:03:42,497 --> 00:03:46,097 Speaker 1: Poles indicate his austerers, supported by the majority of residents 60 00:03:46,457 --> 00:03:49,497 Speaker 1: in the incredibly left wing city that has seen a 61 00:03:49,617 --> 00:03:52,977 Speaker 1: spike in murder as well as other crimes across the country. 62 00:03:53,017 --> 00:03:56,657 Speaker 1: So this could be the beginning of some accountability for 63 00:03:56,817 --> 00:04:02,457 Speaker 1: what is a shockingly stupid, reckless, dangerous idea pushed by 64 00:04:02,457 --> 00:04:04,937 Speaker 1: the left that well, if we just have fewer people 65 00:04:04,977 --> 00:04:09,897 Speaker 1: in prison, we'll have a better, safer society. That's not true. 66 00:04:10,137 --> 00:04:12,017 Speaker 1: Are in prison because they are a danger to their 67 00:04:12,017 --> 00:04:15,377 Speaker 1: fellow human beings. That's where they should be. If people 68 00:04:15,537 --> 00:04:20,057 Speaker 1: are career criminals, or if people are are habitual violent 69 00:04:20,337 --> 00:04:23,937 Speaker 1: or serious offenders, they should be taken out of society 70 00:04:24,297 --> 00:04:27,257 Speaker 1: or they can no longer prey upon their fellow human beings. 71 00:04:27,457 --> 00:04:30,417 Speaker 1: This is pretty straightforward stuff. We've learned this over many, 72 00:04:30,457 --> 00:04:33,817 Speaker 1: many decades. You could argue, stretching back throughout human history, 73 00:04:33,897 --> 00:04:37,897 Speaker 1: you have to punish those who violate the laws and 74 00:04:38,057 --> 00:04:41,297 Speaker 1: hurt their fellow human beings in society. Democrats say, well, 75 00:04:41,297 --> 00:04:43,857 Speaker 1: we want to limit that as much as possible. Let's 76 00:04:43,857 --> 00:04:45,737 Speaker 1: cut that down, let's cut it in half. What does 77 00:04:45,777 --> 00:04:48,497 Speaker 1: that result in, Well, what we see now all across 78 00:04:48,537 --> 00:04:50,777 Speaker 1: the country. Remember, in twenty twenty, you had a thirty 79 00:04:50,817 --> 00:04:54,857 Speaker 1: percent national spike in the murder rate in this country, 80 00:04:55,057 --> 00:04:58,977 Speaker 1: the biggest one year increase in the history of recording 81 00:04:59,337 --> 00:05:03,057 Speaker 1: murder rates in the United States. Okay, that's what the 82 00:05:03,497 --> 00:05:08,417 Speaker 1: BLM movement, progressive prosecutors and defund police has led to. Finally, 83 00:05:08,617 --> 00:05:11,617 Speaker 1: there may be a little glimmer of sanity here. Wall 84 00:05:11,617 --> 00:05:14,977 Speaker 1: Street Journal writing that a successful recall of mister Budan 85 00:05:15,217 --> 00:05:18,817 Speaker 1: would mark a significant setback in what has been called 86 00:05:18,817 --> 00:05:22,737 Speaker 1: the progressive prosecutor movement. Progressive prosecutors include distric attorneys of 87 00:05:22,737 --> 00:05:26,457 Speaker 1: Los Angeles County, New York County, which encompasses Manhattan, Chicago's 88 00:05:26,457 --> 00:05:30,137 Speaker 1: Cook County, in Philadelphia, all places where homicides went up 89 00:05:30,177 --> 00:05:35,177 Speaker 1: during the pandemic and a lockdowns. Yeah, this was very predictable, right, 90 00:05:35,617 --> 00:05:37,577 Speaker 1: but they did it anyway, and then they lied to 91 00:05:37,657 --> 00:05:39,937 Speaker 1: us to want to remind everybody that while the numbers 92 00:05:39,977 --> 00:05:44,457 Speaker 1: started to show substantial increases in homicides and violent crime 93 00:05:44,497 --> 00:05:47,057 Speaker 1: in these cities, you know what the progressives were saying, Oh, 94 00:05:47,097 --> 00:05:51,457 Speaker 1: it's the pandemic, as if people being told to stay 95 00:05:51,497 --> 00:05:53,817 Speaker 1: home and not interact with each other because there is 96 00:05:53,817 --> 00:05:55,857 Speaker 1: a disease that we are much more concerned about them 97 00:05:55,857 --> 00:05:58,297 Speaker 1: than we are now. That was spreading would result in 98 00:05:58,377 --> 00:06:01,337 Speaker 1: more murders. That doesn't make sense. It should result as 99 00:06:01,337 --> 00:06:03,137 Speaker 1: it did in many countries around the world actually and 100 00:06:03,177 --> 00:06:06,537 Speaker 1: fewer murdered. But that was the lie they initially told us. 101 00:06:07,337 --> 00:06:10,657 Speaker 1: And as I've said, this was the result of decisions, 102 00:06:11,297 --> 00:06:16,097 Speaker 1: like prosecutorial decisions to not actually punish people seriously when 103 00:06:16,137 --> 00:06:18,777 Speaker 1: they break the law in a serious fashion. Here's a 104 00:06:18,817 --> 00:06:21,777 Speaker 1: group that shows you to drop in misdemeanor and felony 105 00:06:21,817 --> 00:06:26,097 Speaker 1: prosecutions in San Francisco drops off heavily when Chessa Boudan 106 00:06:26,217 --> 00:06:29,937 Speaker 1: is sworn in in twenty twenty. So Chessa Boudan's idea 107 00:06:30,017 --> 00:06:33,377 Speaker 1: as a progressive prosecutor, let's be very clear on this, 108 00:06:34,097 --> 00:06:37,417 Speaker 1: was I'm just going to prosecute fewer people. They'll be 109 00:06:37,737 --> 00:06:40,817 Speaker 1: even more crimes going on, which is what happened. But 110 00:06:40,897 --> 00:06:43,017 Speaker 1: he's going to prosecute That has to be understood. You 111 00:06:43,017 --> 00:06:45,337 Speaker 1: have an increase in crime, you have a drop in prosecution. 112 00:06:46,297 --> 00:06:49,177 Speaker 1: Why would that be the case. Well, because the ideology 113 00:06:49,377 --> 00:06:53,137 Speaker 1: of the left is that the criminal justice system is unfair. 114 00:06:53,737 --> 00:06:56,257 Speaker 1: Central to this is that it is racist because a 115 00:06:56,337 --> 00:07:00,497 Speaker 1: disproportionate number of the people that are prosecuted in major 116 00:07:00,537 --> 00:07:04,497 Speaker 1: cities in this country are racial minorities. And because of 117 00:07:04,537 --> 00:07:07,817 Speaker 1: that statistic, they say, We're just going to prosecute fewer 118 00:07:07,857 --> 00:07:10,977 Speaker 1: people that will somehow bring justice or balance of the system. 119 00:07:10,977 --> 00:07:13,737 Speaker 1: This is crazy, but this is what they have decided 120 00:07:13,777 --> 00:07:17,777 Speaker 1: to do. And we have all seen the suffering, disproportionately, 121 00:07:17,777 --> 00:07:22,097 Speaker 1: by the way, suffering of law abiding minorities in communities 122 00:07:22,137 --> 00:07:25,457 Speaker 1: all across the country where there's been this spike in crime. 123 00:07:25,657 --> 00:07:28,177 Speaker 1: They suffer more than anybody else as a result of this. 124 00:07:28,977 --> 00:07:31,537 Speaker 1: But Chessai Budan is out there saying, oh no, it's 125 00:07:31,697 --> 00:07:35,697 Speaker 1: it's really the Republican billionaires that are trying to recall me, 126 00:07:35,817 --> 00:07:38,977 Speaker 1: you know, just trying to use the talking Points watch. 127 00:07:39,457 --> 00:07:42,417 Speaker 1: They registered the domain for the recall the week I 128 00:07:42,457 --> 00:07:44,857 Speaker 1: was corn into office. But as the pandemic war on 129 00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:47,017 Speaker 1: and people got more and more upset at the changes 130 00:07:47,017 --> 00:07:50,337 Speaker 1: in our lives, it was a really easy opportunity for 131 00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:54,257 Speaker 1: Republican billionaires to fund a movement that, as you said, 132 00:07:54,297 --> 00:07:59,617 Speaker 1: does have some support from Democrats. Some support from democrats. Remember, 133 00:07:59,737 --> 00:08:02,937 Speaker 1: the progressive prosecutors in these cities they didn't replace Republicans. 134 00:08:03,577 --> 00:08:08,217 Speaker 1: They replaced other Democrats who were just not entirely insane 135 00:08:08,217 --> 00:08:10,417 Speaker 1: when it came to the criminal justice system. But the 136 00:08:10,497 --> 00:08:15,377 Speaker 1: activist left, the progressive left in the Democrat Party decided 137 00:08:15,497 --> 00:08:18,697 Speaker 1: that they would push for George Soros with his tens 138 00:08:18,697 --> 00:08:21,417 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars given to these das. That's a 139 00:08:21,457 --> 00:08:23,177 Speaker 1: matter of public record. You can check it. That's not 140 00:08:23,217 --> 00:08:28,017 Speaker 1: a conspiracy. It's true. They decided just prosecute and punish 141 00:08:28,097 --> 00:08:30,297 Speaker 1: less and see what happened. Well, we've seen a lot 142 00:08:30,337 --> 00:08:35,897 Speaker 1: of people have been murdered, shot, raped, assaulted, carjacked, thousands 143 00:08:35,897 --> 00:08:38,017 Speaker 1: and thousands more than we would expect in a normal 144 00:08:38,097 --> 00:08:41,097 Speaker 1: year in this country because of these ideas. But the 145 00:08:41,137 --> 00:08:44,537 Speaker 1: Libs have done all right. Fast food chain Pizza Hut 146 00:08:44,577 --> 00:08:46,537 Speaker 1: is under fire after its suggested a book about a 147 00:08:46,617 --> 00:08:49,937 Speaker 1: child drag queen two children as young as five. We'll 148 00:08:49,977 --> 00:08:52,137 Speaker 1: have more on that with New York Post columns. Carol Markowitz, 149 00:08:52,417 --> 00:08:54,057 Speaker 1: let's talk about protecting her home for a minute. I 150 00:08:54,097 --> 00:08:55,177 Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this, but there was a 151 00:08:55,217 --> 00:08:57,537 Speaker 1: recent story about an Arizona real estate agent who found 152 00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,897 Speaker 1: the home she lived and was listed for sale. Problem 153 00:08:59,977 --> 00:09:02,217 Speaker 1: was she wasn't actually selling her home, but she was 154 00:09:02,257 --> 00:09:05,017 Speaker 1: the victim of home title fraud, a devastating crime that's 155 00:09:05,017 --> 00:09:07,257 Speaker 1: happening all over the country. Corner of the experts at 156 00:09:07,257 --> 00:09:09,617 Speaker 1: home title lock. The crime is incredibly profitable and hard 157 00:09:09,657 --> 00:09:13,057 Speaker 1: to depict. An identity thief simply creates a fake title 158 00:09:13,057 --> 00:09:15,057 Speaker 1: transfer for your home and refiles as the new owner. 159 00:09:15,297 --> 00:09:16,977 Speaker 1: Then he can take up loans on your home or 160 00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:20,017 Speaker 1: sell it. Typical identity theft services don't cover you and NEI, 161 00:09:20,057 --> 00:09:23,177 Speaker 1: they're just homeowners insurance.

Latest victim to the woke army 196 00:11:21,217 --> 00:11:25,897 Speaker 1: is Pizza Hut. Newsweek reports the restaurant's new reading club 197 00:11:26,137 --> 00:11:30,177 Speaker 1: bookt program, which targets grades pre kde is sixth grade, 198 00:11:30,697 --> 00:11:34,497 Speaker 1: has some books focusing on the LGBTQ community on its 199 00:11:34,497 --> 00:11:38,337 Speaker 1: website in light of celebrating Pride Month. So how do 200 00:11:38,417 --> 00:11:40,377 Speaker 1: we hold a lot to make sure our children aren't? 201 00:11:40,497 --> 00:11:43,657 Speaker 1: You know? Part of an agenda here Joining me now 202 00:11:43,697 --> 00:11:46,257 Speaker 1: to discussed is New York Post columnist Carol Marco with 203 00:11:46,457 --> 00:11:49,377 Speaker 1: Carol good to see It, Get to see Buck. So 204 00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:55,817 Speaker 1: let's start with this one, the lgbt LGBTQ Plus book 205 00:11:56,337 --> 00:11:59,937 Speaker 1: Julian Is a Mermaid. In the spirit of Julian Is 206 00:11:59,977 --> 00:12:06,457 Speaker 1: a Mermaid, This irrepressible picture book celebrates drag kids, individuality, 207 00:12:06,617 --> 00:12:11,177 Speaker 1: and self confidence from the perspective of a fabulous wig. 208 00:12:12,417 --> 00:12:15,777 Speaker 1: You're a parent, What the heck is going on here? So? 209 00:12:15,817 --> 00:12:18,977 Speaker 1: What's funny is is that I know exactly what this 210 00:12:18,977 --> 00:12:23,057 Speaker 1: book is because in Brooklyn it was frequently distributed for 211 00:12:23,097 --> 00:12:26,497 Speaker 1: free in my kids' schools, and so we ended up 212 00:12:26,497 --> 00:12:28,577 Speaker 1: with at least two or three copies of this book. 213 00:12:28,577 --> 00:12:31,017 Speaker 1: I've seen it up close, I know exactly what's in it, 214 00:12:31,177 --> 00:12:35,057 Speaker 1: and it has absolutely no place being distributed anywhere, especially 215 00:12:35,097 --> 00:12:37,817 Speaker 1: by Pizza Hut. So I think we've really gotten to 216 00:12:37,897 --> 00:12:41,657 Speaker 1: a crazy place where a child doing drag is somehow okay. 217 00:12:42,697 --> 00:12:46,497 Speaker 1: And you know, the videos emerged this weekend of parents 218 00:12:46,577 --> 00:12:48,977 Speaker 1: taking their kids to a drag show in Dallas, which 219 00:12:49,017 --> 00:12:53,897 Speaker 1: was sickening. I don't understand how this persists and how 220 00:12:54,777 --> 00:12:57,897 Speaker 1: it's all acceptable. I mean, we're showing people the footage here, 221 00:12:57,937 --> 00:13:04,977 Speaker 1: it's honestly, I mean it's so depraved. I mean, you 222 00:13:05,017 --> 00:13:08,897 Speaker 1: have adult males and there's even worse footage and photos 223 00:13:08,897 --> 00:13:14,057 Speaker 1: than this that's been circulated. Adult males gyrating and dancing 224 00:13:14,137 --> 00:13:17,057 Speaker 1: dressed up as women. They're not women, they're men, and 225 00:13:17,257 --> 00:13:22,777 Speaker 1: obviously in drag. And there's even photos of small children 226 00:13:23,417 --> 00:13:26,777 Speaker 1: putting dollar bills in the g string of one of 227 00:13:26,857 --> 00:13:30,257 Speaker 1: these performers. There is a sign that people may have 228 00:13:30,297 --> 00:13:33,337 Speaker 1: seen in the background that says. You tell me, I 229 00:13:33,337 --> 00:13:35,977 Speaker 1: mean something, you tell me what it says. It's not 230 00:13:36,017 --> 00:13:40,737 Speaker 1: going to lick itself, Carol, What the hell is going 231 00:13:40,777 --> 00:13:43,457 Speaker 1: on here? Yeah? And the thing is that I think 232 00:13:43,497 --> 00:13:46,937 Speaker 1: a lot of these parents would understand just how wrong 233 00:13:47,057 --> 00:13:50,137 Speaker 1: this was. If it were actual women doing these performances. 234 00:13:50,217 --> 00:13:53,737 Speaker 1: You couldn't take a strip club right. And you know, look, 235 00:13:53,777 --> 00:13:56,697 Speaker 1: I'm a lifelong New Yorker like you. I had, you know, 236 00:13:57,177 --> 00:14:00,857 Speaker 1: been to clubs in my twenties where drag queens perform, 237 00:14:01,297 --> 00:14:04,377 Speaker 1: and it's you know, fine, but it's not for children. 238 00:14:04,457 --> 00:14:06,417 Speaker 1: It just can not be for children. Some things are 239 00:14:06,457 --> 00:14:08,897 Speaker 1: not for children. Alcohols not for children. Vegas is not 240 00:14:08,937 --> 00:14:12,017 Speaker 1: for children, drag shows not for children. Why do you 241 00:14:12,097 --> 00:14:16,417 Speaker 1: think there is? Because this is a clear movement of sorts. 242 00:14:16,417 --> 00:14:18,777 Speaker 1: I mean, the activists are pushing this in New York City. 243 00:14:19,257 --> 00:14:21,777 Speaker 1: I member, my family sent me a photo of in 244 00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:24,457 Speaker 1: the local public school, right, I mean not even know 245 00:14:24,457 --> 00:14:26,257 Speaker 1: there were si public schools in my neighborhood, but there are. 246 00:14:26,257 --> 00:14:30,617 Speaker 1: Apparently they were advertising a rag you know, drag queen 247 00:14:30,897 --> 00:14:35,377 Speaker 1: story hour for kindergarteners. I mean, by the way, it 248 00:14:35,417 --> 00:14:38,137 Speaker 1: always seems to be for kindergarteners and like third graders, 249 00:14:38,177 --> 00:14:41,657 Speaker 1: first graders. What is this right? I mean, I think 250 00:14:41,657 --> 00:14:44,817 Speaker 1: the idea is like, oh, they're colorful, they're glittery, like 251 00:14:44,937 --> 00:14:49,657 Speaker 1: why not? Well, why not is because it's inappropriate for children. 252 00:14:49,777 --> 00:14:53,417 Speaker 1: Drag shows are generally adult material. They're usually quite sexy. 253 00:14:53,497 --> 00:14:57,017 Speaker 1: They have this element absolutely of sexuality to them. And 254 00:14:57,057 --> 00:14:59,417 Speaker 1: if we wouldn't allow a female stripper to come in 255 00:14:59,457 --> 00:15:01,217 Speaker 1: and dance on the pole and just be like, look, 256 00:15:01,297 --> 00:15:03,697 Speaker 1: she's also glittery and look at her shoes and it's amazing, 257 00:15:03,977 --> 00:15:05,657 Speaker 1: then why would we allow men to do it in 258 00:15:06,057 --> 00:15:09,737 Speaker 1: drag That makes absolutely no sense to me. Here's one 259 00:15:09,777 --> 00:15:13,257 Speaker 1: of the the drag queen saying that they're exposing kids 260 00:15:13,257 --> 00:15:17,297 Speaker 1: to drag shows is beneficial. Watch. I think it was amazing. 261 00:15:17,337 --> 00:15:19,537 Speaker 1: I never get to like perform in front of children. 262 00:15:19,857 --> 00:15:21,617 Speaker 1: It's like performing in front of children. I have like 263 00:15:21,817 --> 00:15:25,377 Speaker 1: six other younger siblings, so it was it was very emotional. 264 00:15:25,417 --> 00:15:27,617 Speaker 1: I loved it. It was probably one of the best 265 00:15:27,617 --> 00:15:29,697 Speaker 1: shows I've ever done. Here's the thing. I don't think 266 00:15:29,697 --> 00:15:32,817 Speaker 1: that there is any kind of issue with exposing childre 267 00:15:32,817 --> 00:15:38,137 Speaker 1: into this, because especially if you if your child is 268 00:15:38,377 --> 00:15:41,177 Speaker 1: in the community or you may think they are. I 269 00:15:41,537 --> 00:15:44,297 Speaker 1: just think that drag is educational fuel. Drag is such 270 00:15:44,337 --> 00:15:46,377 Speaker 1: like an art form. There's so much dancing, there's hair, 271 00:15:46,497 --> 00:15:49,417 Speaker 1: there's wigs, there's makeup. There's so many things that kids 272 00:15:49,417 --> 00:15:52,257 Speaker 1: will like, will love to experience with. So I feel 273 00:15:52,297 --> 00:15:54,217 Speaker 1: like a lot of kids will want to like dabble 274 00:15:54,297 --> 00:15:58,057 Speaker 1: in everything that's going on in like drag. There's so 275 00:15:58,177 --> 00:16:01,057 Speaker 1: much there. Carol Um, I think these people are honestly, 276 00:16:01,177 --> 00:16:04,177 Speaker 1: I think they're mentally ill um But but beyond that 277 00:16:03,697 --> 00:16:07,737 Speaker 1: idea that they don't generally get to perform for kids, yeah, 278 00:16:07,777 --> 00:16:12,177 Speaker 1: that's by design, you know, point show for kids. It's 279 00:16:12,177 --> 00:16:15,497 Speaker 1: also look, burlesque is an art form. Rate I actually again, 280 00:16:15,537 --> 00:16:17,657 Speaker 1: I quite like drag, and I don't have a problem 281 00:16:17,697 --> 00:16:19,697 Speaker 1: with it for grown ups. I just think it's ridiculous 282 00:16:19,777 --> 00:16:21,617 Speaker 1: when you aim it at kids. It's like so many 283 00:16:21,617 --> 00:16:23,857 Speaker 1: other things. You can go to a burlesque show and 284 00:16:23,977 --> 00:16:26,497 Speaker 1: be like, wow, that's pretty cool and that, you know, 285 00:16:26,617 --> 00:16:28,377 Speaker 1: for grown ups to watch, But then you wouldn't take 286 00:16:28,417 --> 00:16:30,937 Speaker 1: your six year old because it's inappropriate. My radio co 287 00:16:31,097 --> 00:16:32,777 Speaker 1: host that Ray said, you know, he's got small kids. 288 00:16:32,777 --> 00:16:34,777 Speaker 1: He's like, if I took my eight year old to 289 00:16:34,897 --> 00:16:37,137 Speaker 1: a strip club, even if the women kept you know, 290 00:16:37,217 --> 00:16:40,337 Speaker 1: didn't get you know, didn't take off their clothing. Everybody 291 00:16:40,337 --> 00:16:42,297 Speaker 1: would think that I was you know that that you know, 292 00:16:42,417 --> 00:16:45,057 Speaker 1: he'm speaking the first person, he's some kind of degenerating child. 293 00:16:45,097 --> 00:16:48,777 Speaker 1: Services would come and talk and yeah, yeah that would happen. 294 00:16:48,817 --> 00:16:52,137 Speaker 1: So so why does this make it? I mean, I think, why, 295 00:16:52,177 --> 00:16:53,897 Speaker 1: why would this be okay? I think it's not okay. 296 00:16:54,057 --> 00:16:55,977 Speaker 1: I think though, there was something that was really interesting 297 00:16:56,337 --> 00:16:59,217 Speaker 1: in one of those drag performers when they were talking 298 00:16:59,257 --> 00:17:02,457 Speaker 1: about this, that they're drag kids in the audience, as 299 00:17:02,537 --> 00:17:06,777 Speaker 1: if there's already kids who, without adults training them to 300 00:17:06,857 --> 00:17:10,057 Speaker 1: do this, would throw on wigs and glitter and gy 301 00:17:10,217 --> 00:17:13,097 Speaker 1: rate their body parts in a way. I mean, it's 302 00:17:13,137 --> 00:17:16,817 Speaker 1: like these people are crazy, right. It is absolutely fed 303 00:17:16,857 --> 00:17:19,417 Speaker 1: to them by adults. There's no way a kid wakes 304 00:17:19,497 --> 00:17:21,577 Speaker 1: up and decides to do this on their own. Every 305 00:17:21,577 --> 00:17:24,457 Speaker 1: few years they tell the story of a various drag kid, 306 00:17:24,617 --> 00:17:27,657 Speaker 1: and there's absolutely no way that that kid discovered what 307 00:17:27,777 --> 00:17:30,217 Speaker 1: to do without a grown up pointing them in that direction. 308 00:17:30,897 --> 00:17:33,777 Speaker 1: I just it's all really sad and sickening, and it 309 00:17:33,817 --> 00:17:37,137 Speaker 1: really is. It's meant to blur the lines of gender 310 00:17:37,297 --> 00:17:40,257 Speaker 1: and you know, the whole what is a woman conversation 311 00:17:40,377 --> 00:17:42,817 Speaker 1: right now stems from exactly this kind of thing where 312 00:17:43,057 --> 00:17:45,417 Speaker 1: we're no longer sure what a woman is because the 313 00:17:45,537 --> 00:17:49,177 Speaker 1: gender lines have been so blurred by the way is 314 00:17:49,217 --> 00:17:53,057 Speaker 1: you probably have seen, Carol, the Biden administration is tying 315 00:17:53,137 --> 00:17:58,377 Speaker 1: school lunch funding to including the transagenda as though it's 316 00:17:58,377 --> 00:18:01,217 Speaker 1: a civil right and part of Title nine. You're a 317 00:18:01,217 --> 00:18:03,857 Speaker 1: governor in the state of Florida who wish you could 318 00:18:03,897 --> 00:18:07,737 Speaker 1: be everybody's governor pushing back on this watch. We're prepared 319 00:18:07,977 --> 00:18:11,377 Speaker 1: for what Biden throws our way. And you know, yes, 320 00:18:11,457 --> 00:18:13,777 Speaker 1: part of it's the inflation and the gas. Part of 321 00:18:13,777 --> 00:18:18,817 Speaker 1: it are intentionally destructive policies like trying to deny school 322 00:18:18,897 --> 00:18:23,537 Speaker 1: lunch programs for states that don't do transgender ideology and 323 00:18:23,617 --> 00:18:26,697 Speaker 1: the schools, I mean, give me a break, totally off 324 00:18:26,697 --> 00:18:28,977 Speaker 1: as rocker to be doing that. We're fighting on that, 325 00:18:29,217 --> 00:18:32,657 Speaker 1: don't worry. So we're just prepared to be able to 326 00:18:32,737 --> 00:18:35,777 Speaker 1: defend the taxpayers and the hard working people in the 327 00:18:35,777 --> 00:18:41,657 Speaker 1: state of Florida. And I couldn't be prouder for doing that. Yeah, 328 00:18:41,697 --> 00:18:45,457 Speaker 1: I'm proud of him. It's really it's a unique experience 329 00:18:45,537 --> 00:18:47,417 Speaker 1: for me. To have a politician that I think is 330 00:18:47,457 --> 00:18:50,177 Speaker 1: great and he happens to be my governor, that's incredible. 331 00:18:50,217 --> 00:18:53,177 Speaker 1: That never happens. I've never had a politician that I 332 00:18:53,217 --> 00:18:55,857 Speaker 1: thought was really, you know, doing what I wanted him 333 00:18:55,897 --> 00:19:00,017 Speaker 1: to do, So it's great. It's the preservation of normalcy 334 00:19:00,017 --> 00:19:02,297 Speaker 1: that I'm always talking about with Florida. It's not that 335 00:19:02,737 --> 00:19:05,457 Speaker 1: Florida is doing something crazy. It's literally just trying to 336 00:19:05,497 --> 00:19:08,337 Speaker 1: preserve a normal life that we used to understand before 337 00:19:08,377 --> 00:19:11,697 Speaker 1: we got to the Biden and ministration. Using birthing person 338 00:19:11,777 --> 00:19:14,137 Speaker 1: as if that's okay to replace the word from other 339 00:19:14,297 --> 00:19:18,617 Speaker 1: like it's it's just back to sanity, and that's what 340 00:19:18,817 --> 00:19:22,777 Speaker 1: Ronda Santis pushes and I'm all for it me too, Carol. 341 00:19:22,897 --> 00:19:27,217 Speaker 1: Good to see it.

Almost 366 00:20:41,497 --> 00:20:43,737 Speaker 1: a year after the formation of the House Select Committee 367 00:20:43,737 --> 00:20:47,817 Speaker 1: investigating the January six protests on Capitol Hill, lawmakers are 368 00:20:47,857 --> 00:20:50,137 Speaker 1: set to take their case public this week, but it 369 00:20:50,177 --> 00:20:53,177 Speaker 1: appears they have some work to do with the American public. 370 00:20:53,417 --> 00:20:56,257 Speaker 1: According to a new NBC News poll, just forty five 371 00:20:56,297 --> 00:20:59,537 Speaker 1: percent of Americans say Donald Trump is solely or mainly 372 00:20:59,577 --> 00:21:02,577 Speaker 1: responsible for the rioters who overtook the Capitol, versus a 373 00:21:02,577 --> 00:21:04,977 Speaker 1: combined fifty five percent who say the former president is 374 00:21:05,017 --> 00:21:09,017 Speaker 1: only somewhat responsible or not really responsible at all. It 375 00:21:09,057 --> 00:21:11,497 Speaker 1: looks like the time. Looks like time has been on 376 00:21:11,497 --> 00:21:14,257 Speaker 1: Trump side rather here with the reaction senior counsel at 377 00:21:14,297 --> 00:21:17,057 Speaker 1: the Article three project, Will Chamber will than actually being 378 00:21:17,097 --> 00:21:21,337 Speaker 1: with us, thanks for having me. So we're supposed to 379 00:21:21,377 --> 00:21:26,097 Speaker 1: think that there's going to be massive prime time revelations 380 00:21:26,177 --> 00:21:28,777 Speaker 1: coming later this week. But January sixth, I feel like 381 00:21:28,897 --> 00:21:31,937 Speaker 1: CNN has been talking about January six pretty much every 382 00:21:32,137 --> 00:21:35,737 Speaker 1: day or every other day for going on eighteen months. Now. 383 00:21:36,377 --> 00:21:39,537 Speaker 1: I just I don't know what's the game plan here. 384 00:21:41,017 --> 00:21:42,457 Speaker 1: I mean, they got to figure out some way to 385 00:21:42,537 --> 00:21:45,377 Speaker 1: distract from the state of the economy. Right you have 386 00:21:45,657 --> 00:21:51,257 Speaker 1: massive inflation, unprecedented Baby formula shortage, extremely high gas prices, 387 00:21:52,257 --> 00:21:54,617 Speaker 1: and Biden's approval rings or something in the forties, and 388 00:21:54,817 --> 00:21:58,177 Speaker 1: there's no switch now that the Biden administration can flip 389 00:21:58,897 --> 00:22:02,417 Speaker 1: to fix these problems that they themselves created in the 390 00:22:02,417 --> 00:22:04,297 Speaker 1: first place. I mean, it's just it's too long to 391 00:22:04,457 --> 00:22:07,057 Speaker 1: you know, once you shut down a baby formula plan 392 00:22:07,057 --> 00:22:08,777 Speaker 1: takes a little whar for that plan to get back running, 393 00:22:08,817 --> 00:22:11,697 Speaker 1: for example. So I think the point here is just 394 00:22:11,777 --> 00:22:14,457 Speaker 1: to create something that could get people in great Republicans 395 00:22:14,497 --> 00:22:16,337 Speaker 1: and then wanted to come out and vote for Democrats 396 00:22:16,337 --> 00:22:18,537 Speaker 1: in November. And so we've got to go sit through 397 00:22:18,537 --> 00:22:20,897 Speaker 1: a committee about January six which really, at the end 398 00:22:20,937 --> 00:22:22,657 Speaker 1: of the day, it was just a riot. It was 399 00:22:22,737 --> 00:22:26,377 Speaker 1: just a riot. Yep. They finished their business and had 400 00:22:26,377 --> 00:22:29,697 Speaker 1: the capital running as usual within a few hours. This is, 401 00:22:30,097 --> 00:22:32,697 Speaker 1: in terms of the public opinion here a shift from 402 00:22:32,697 --> 00:22:35,977 Speaker 1: an NBC poll when it comes to the perception of 403 00:22:36,057 --> 00:22:39,017 Speaker 1: January sixth, just after the riots, fifty two percent of 404 00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:41,777 Speaker 1: people said that Trump was mainly responsible. So it feels 405 00:22:41,817 --> 00:22:44,937 Speaker 1: like will with the passage of time, there's either been 406 00:22:45,177 --> 00:22:49,297 Speaker 1: just a lack of sustained interest in this and also 407 00:22:49,377 --> 00:22:52,457 Speaker 1: an unwillingness to continue to buy the narrative that Trump 408 00:22:52,537 --> 00:22:56,097 Speaker 1: was responsible for everything that went down that day. Yeah, 409 00:22:56,137 --> 00:22:58,337 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the classic issue that really just 410 00:22:58,577 --> 00:23:02,617 Speaker 1: only motivates serious partisans, right, the only people on the 411 00:23:02,697 --> 00:23:05,697 Speaker 1: left who deeply care about January sixth still, you know, 412 00:23:05,817 --> 00:23:09,177 Speaker 1: six months on, no, sorry, eighteen months on, let's think, 413 00:23:09,577 --> 00:23:13,857 Speaker 1: let's clear, eighteen months on from the event, RPR. Serious 414 00:23:13,897 --> 00:23:15,897 Speaker 1: Democrat partisans, those the people who are going to turn 415 00:23:15,937 --> 00:23:18,057 Speaker 1: out in anyway, normal people have other things going on 416 00:23:18,097 --> 00:23:21,777 Speaker 1: with their lives than to care about a brief riot 417 00:23:22,457 --> 00:23:24,737 Speaker 1: eighteen months ago, even where even if the riot was 418 00:23:24,777 --> 00:23:28,097 Speaker 1: interrupting something important, it's just it was still just a riot. 419 00:23:28,937 --> 00:23:31,617 Speaker 1: And I think ultimately the Democrats have made a huge 420 00:23:31,617 --> 00:23:35,497 Speaker 1: mistake investing so much time and energy into this when 421 00:23:35,937 --> 00:23:38,177 Speaker 1: the real way that they would have actually had a 422 00:23:38,257 --> 00:23:41,857 Speaker 1: chance of holding on to the Congress in twenty two 423 00:23:41,857 --> 00:23:44,977 Speaker 1: and perhaps the presidency in twenty four governed the country, well, 424 00:23:45,937 --> 00:23:49,817 Speaker 1: they've just lost sight of that. January sixth committee has 425 00:23:49,857 --> 00:23:52,657 Speaker 1: been split behind the scenes where over what actions to 426 00:23:52,737 --> 00:23:56,217 Speaker 1: take after the public hearings. Some members want big changes 427 00:23:56,257 --> 00:23:59,417 Speaker 1: on voting rights, apparently even they say they want to 428 00:23:59,457 --> 00:24:02,937 Speaker 1: abolish the electoral college, while others are resisting proposals to 429 00:24:03,017 --> 00:24:05,817 Speaker 1: over haul the US election system. So it feels like 430 00:24:06,057 --> 00:24:09,257 Speaker 1: for some of them it's let's just push, They'll just 431 00:24:09,297 --> 00:24:11,817 Speaker 1: push to remake the country because you know, January sixth 432 00:24:11,897 --> 00:24:15,097 Speaker 1: insurrection and some other Democrats behind the scenes are saying 433 00:24:15,737 --> 00:24:18,057 Speaker 1: and there are limits too, are crazy, Like it's actually 434 00:24:18,097 --> 00:24:20,977 Speaker 1: self defeating at some point to be that insane. I 435 00:24:21,057 --> 00:24:23,257 Speaker 1: like that you're referring to Liz Cheney as another Democrat 436 00:24:23,337 --> 00:24:26,297 Speaker 1: because that's accurate and it should actually be proper style 437 00:24:26,417 --> 00:24:31,137 Speaker 1: for American news outlets. Yeah, so you have Liz Cheney 438 00:24:31,137 --> 00:24:33,137 Speaker 1: on the one hand, who's trying to say, well, you know, 439 00:24:33,177 --> 00:24:35,657 Speaker 1: I am I am the only representative from Wyoming, and 440 00:24:35,697 --> 00:24:38,137 Speaker 1: getting rid of the electoral college would definitely weaken the 441 00:24:38,217 --> 00:24:41,137 Speaker 1: overall power of my states. So you know, even even 442 00:24:41,177 --> 00:24:43,457 Speaker 1: though I really don't like Trump and the Republicans, I 443 00:24:43,577 --> 00:24:45,817 Speaker 1: just you know, she has like some part of her 444 00:24:45,857 --> 00:24:48,777 Speaker 1: that's like, as the only representive Wyoming, I couldn't conceivably 445 00:24:48,817 --> 00:24:52,337 Speaker 1: do that, which I guess, you know whatever, Like that's 446 00:24:52,337 --> 00:24:55,457 Speaker 1: a low bar for a Republican representative for Wyoming. Whatever, 447 00:24:55,737 --> 00:24:59,057 Speaker 1: I guess We'll do. We take it, do we care. 448 00:24:59,097 --> 00:25:01,737 Speaker 1: None of these proposals would ever get anywhere. All the 449 00:25:01,817 --> 00:25:03,857 Speaker 1: radical stuff would get shot down in the Senate anyway, 450 00:25:03,857 --> 00:25:07,257 Speaker 1: because they don't have the votes. So it's sort of. 451 00:25:07,457 --> 00:25:11,017 Speaker 1: It really is. Ultimately, the debate about what actually is 452 00:25:11,057 --> 00:25:15,097 Speaker 1: in the Committee report is just one of those non important, 453 00:25:15,537 --> 00:25:18,777 Speaker 1: non relevant dates like, oh no, the January six Committee 454 00:25:18,817 --> 00:25:22,617 Speaker 1: made recommendations that were too aggressive. Well, if they're aggressive, 455 00:25:22,657 --> 00:25:24,977 Speaker 1: then the Senate would reject them anyway that it just 456 00:25:25,017 --> 00:25:27,977 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Yeah, I mean, nobody on the Household Committee 457 00:25:28,057 --> 00:25:31,537 Speaker 1: is more committed than Representative Cheney. It seems to pursue 458 00:25:31,577 --> 00:25:34,137 Speaker 1: Trump for inciting the attack on the Capitol, but she 459 00:25:34,257 --> 00:25:36,657 Speaker 1: does oppose, to your earlier point, some of the more 460 00:25:36,657 --> 00:25:39,657 Speaker 1: sweeping election law reforms that Democrats and the Committee democrats 461 00:25:39,657 --> 00:25:41,617 Speaker 1: are essentially thing, Yeah, let's just remake the country because 462 00:25:41,657 --> 00:25:43,817 Speaker 1: you know January six, and lets Chaney's like, whoa, whoa, 463 00:25:43,857 --> 00:25:45,937 Speaker 1: this is just about my personal vendetta with Trump. Let's 464 00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:48,537 Speaker 1: not get let's not get ahead of ourselves here, Let's 465 00:25:48,537 --> 00:25:50,697 Speaker 1: focus on my priorities. I hate Donald Trump, and I 466 00:25:50,737 --> 00:25:52,217 Speaker 1: want to get him. That's why I'm only to work 467 00:25:52,257 --> 00:25:55,017 Speaker 1: with you Democrats. Like, Okay, I don't feel like we 468 00:25:55,017 --> 00:25:59,137 Speaker 1: should give her too much credit for merely not being 469 00:25:59,297 --> 00:26:03,657 Speaker 1: primarily opposing a complete remaking of our federal system. Liked good, 470 00:26:03,737 --> 00:26:07,017 Speaker 1: good for you, golf clap and in the end, and 471 00:26:07,097 --> 00:26:10,257 Speaker 1: obviously the media aftermath of what happened last week, wanted 472 00:26:10,257 --> 00:26:14,217 Speaker 1: to get your take on Peter Navarro, who was a 473 00:26:14,257 --> 00:26:17,937 Speaker 1: senior Economic advisor for trade to the Trump administration. I saw. 474 00:26:17,977 --> 00:26:20,057 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's video of him where he says 475 00:26:20,217 --> 00:26:22,737 Speaker 1: that not only did they not only they arrest him 476 00:26:22,777 --> 00:26:26,377 Speaker 1: because he didn't respond to a Jen six committee subpoena, 477 00:26:26,897 --> 00:26:29,217 Speaker 1: they actually, you know, they cuffed him, They went to 478 00:26:29,337 --> 00:26:30,937 Speaker 1: his I think they went to his place of work, 479 00:26:31,497 --> 00:26:33,617 Speaker 1: and he says they even put him in leg irons 480 00:26:33,657 --> 00:26:35,617 Speaker 1: at one point, and they know they processed him and 481 00:26:35,617 --> 00:26:37,337 Speaker 1: everything else. He says, they could have just called me 482 00:26:37,377 --> 00:26:40,177 Speaker 1: and said, come down, surrender yourself and we'll go through 483 00:26:40,177 --> 00:26:42,457 Speaker 1: the process. But you know, they want that whole show 484 00:26:42,497 --> 00:26:45,617 Speaker 1: trial vibe apparently will Yeah. No, I mean we need 485 00:26:45,657 --> 00:26:48,497 Speaker 1: to first. I mean it leads to two obvious conclusions. First, 486 00:26:48,497 --> 00:26:50,937 Speaker 1: we need just a complete wholesale like top to bottom 487 00:26:50,977 --> 00:26:54,057 Speaker 1: clearing out a DJ right, Like, how did that get improved? 488 00:26:54,137 --> 00:26:55,817 Speaker 1: There's no way it should have been improved. This is 489 00:26:55,857 --> 00:26:59,177 Speaker 1: like the most white collar of white collared crimes, not 490 00:26:59,377 --> 00:27:02,057 Speaker 1: the kind of no threat of violence, no reason to 491 00:27:02,097 --> 00:27:07,137 Speaker 1: be breaking out any of the serious, serious restraints or yeah, 492 00:27:07,137 --> 00:27:09,417 Speaker 1: they restrained this man, they cuffed him because you know, 493 00:27:09,457 --> 00:27:14,137 Speaker 1: Peter Navarre, who is Trump's trade representative, might attack somebody 494 00:27:14,137 --> 00:27:17,737 Speaker 1: because he didn't respond to a subpoena for a BS investigation. 495 00:27:17,817 --> 00:27:20,697 Speaker 1: About do we need to do to get Democrats to 496 00:27:20,737 --> 00:27:22,217 Speaker 1: realize that they need to tone it down? Like I 497 00:27:22,257 --> 00:27:23,937 Speaker 1: think maybe we need to when we take power in 498 00:27:23,937 --> 00:27:26,777 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, like have like put Hunter Biden in 499 00:27:26,777 --> 00:27:29,177 Speaker 1: the stocks in the middle of the mall or something 500 00:27:29,217 --> 00:27:32,257 Speaker 1: like that, like just like some ridiculous thing where we 501 00:27:32,337 --> 00:27:36,137 Speaker 1: just parade formerly prominent Democrats and just do public shamings 502 00:27:36,177 --> 00:27:37,937 Speaker 1: like they did in Game of Thrones? Like what do 503 00:27:38,297 --> 00:27:40,017 Speaker 1: we have to do to get you guys to not 504 00:27:40,177 --> 00:27:43,457 Speaker 1: to act like normal people to realize that you just 505 00:27:43,857 --> 00:27:46,937 Speaker 1: can't unilaterally do this stuff to Republicans without us doing 506 00:27:47,017 --> 00:27:49,817 Speaker 1: something in return. I seriously, there has to be some 507 00:27:49,897 --> 00:27:52,857 Speaker 1: consequence for this and the way that it's it's not 508 00:27:52,937 --> 00:27:55,617 Speaker 1: merely that they're going after people for contempt of Congress, 509 00:27:55,617 --> 00:27:57,497 Speaker 1: which nobody's done in forty years, but they're doing it 510 00:27:57,537 --> 00:28:02,697 Speaker 1: in the most heavy handed, aggressive, authoritarian way possible, as 511 00:28:02,737 --> 00:28:04,937 Speaker 1: though they'll never be out of power again. And I 512 00:28:04,937 --> 00:28:08,017 Speaker 1: think we need to just yet another reminder that when 513 00:28:08,097 --> 00:28:11,217 Speaker 1: when Republicans retake power, it's not enough to stop the abuses. 514 00:28:11,577 --> 00:28:14,577 Speaker 1: There has to be some punishment, right like that, you know, 515 00:28:14,617 --> 00:28:17,337 Speaker 1: at a minimum, anybody who responsible for that decision, you know, 516 00:28:17,417 --> 00:28:19,977 Speaker 1: to put Navarro and like iron should be fired and 517 00:28:20,217 --> 00:28:22,977 Speaker 1: blackball from the government. And there needs to be a 518 00:28:23,017 --> 00:28:26,057 Speaker 1: lot more of that, you would think so, and yet 519 00:28:26,097 --> 00:28:29,377 Speaker 1: it feels like we live in crazy times, Will but 520 00:28:30,137 --> 00:28:31,817 Speaker 1: thanks for bringing us a bit of sanity, my friend, 521 00:28:32,617 --> 00:28:36,657 Speaker 1: of course, always going to talk to you. Gas prices 522 00:28:36,737 --> 00:28:40,177 Speaker 1: hit another record high today, and news from Saudi Arabia 523 00:28:40,177 --> 00:28:42,257 Speaker 1: is that they'll be increasing the price of crude oil. 524 00:28:42,617 --> 00:28:44,337 Speaker 1: After the break, the First TVs T and A Low 525 00:28:44,337 --> 00:28:46,617 Speaker 1: stops by to explain why America might be headed for 526 00:28:46,657 --> 00:28:52,177 Speaker 1: a Jimmy Carter era style oil crisis. Right, we'll be back. 527 00:28:56,457 --> 00:28:59,177 Speaker 1: Each morning, the President of the United States receives a 528 00:28:59,257 --> 00:29:02,737 Speaker 1: highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country. 529 00:29:03,097 --> 00:29:06,657 Speaker 1: It's called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered 530 00:29:06,697 --> 00:29:09,737 Speaker 1: by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear 531 00:29:09,777 --> 00:29:12,857 Speaker 1: your very own PDB in the form of a podcast 532 00:29:12,937 --> 00:29:16,977 Speaker 1: hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 533 00:29:17,337 --> 00:29:20,057 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 534 00:29:20,097 --> 00:29:22,817 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 535 00:29:23,057 --> 00:29:26,457 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 536 00:29:26,497 --> 00:29:37,017 Speaker 1: start your morning. The price of gasoline hit another record 537 00:29:37,137 --> 00:29:40,417 Speaker 1: high today. Nationwide, a gallon of gas is costing drivers 538 00:29:40,457 --> 00:29:43,457 Speaker 1: four dollars and eighty six cents on average. In some states, 539 00:29:43,497 --> 00:29:47,577 Speaker 1: including California, Washington, and Oregon, the average price has risen 540 00:29:47,617 --> 00:29:51,097 Speaker 1: to over five dollars per gallon. Eye prices at the 541 00:29:51,097 --> 00:29:54,097 Speaker 1: POMP are being caused in part by the skyrocketing price 542 00:29:54,137 --> 00:29:56,697 Speaker 1: of oil at a oil topped one hundred and twenty 543 00:29:56,697 --> 00:29:59,657 Speaker 1: dollars per barrel on news that Saudi Arabia would be 544 00:29:59,857 --> 00:30:03,537 Speaker 1: sharply hiking prices for customers around the world. Join me 545 00:30:03,617 --> 00:30:06,177 Speaker 1: now with our analysis of the energy situation around the 546 00:30:06,217 --> 00:30:07,977 Speaker 1: world and here at home. Is commentary writer for The 547 00:30:08,017 --> 00:30:12,297 Speaker 1: Washington Examiner and contributor to the first TV Tiana Lo Tana. 548 00:30:12,377 --> 00:30:16,337 Speaker 1: What's up, hey, Buck? You know that one twenty number. 549 00:30:16,377 --> 00:30:19,737 Speaker 1: If you had told us six months ago that we'd 550 00:30:19,777 --> 00:30:22,737 Speaker 1: be regularly hitting one twenty once in March and now 551 00:30:22,777 --> 00:30:27,057 Speaker 1: again in June, I would not believe it, especially considering 552 00:30:27,057 --> 00:30:28,977 Speaker 1: that it's not even the worst part of the summer 553 00:30:29,097 --> 00:30:32,537 Speaker 1: yet just wait until July. Yeah, So, what's what's happening 554 00:30:32,537 --> 00:30:36,497 Speaker 1: in the global market internationally that is causing prices right 555 00:30:36,577 --> 00:30:41,777 Speaker 1: now in particular to spike once again. So Biden wants 556 00:30:41,817 --> 00:30:44,337 Speaker 1: us to believe that it's all the so called Putin 557 00:30:44,457 --> 00:30:49,137 Speaker 1: price hike. But consider this, Russian oil imports only comprise 558 00:30:49,297 --> 00:30:54,937 Speaker 1: somewhat seven percent of America's daily oil consumption, so that 559 00:30:54,977 --> 00:30:58,057 Speaker 1: doesn't explain all of it. It's a combination of the 560 00:30:58,057 --> 00:31:01,577 Speaker 1: fact that Biden decided to isolate, you know, our global 561 00:31:01,617 --> 00:31:04,617 Speaker 1: allies like Saudi Arabia, who are now you know, a 562 00:31:04,617 --> 00:31:08,097 Speaker 1: pivotal part of OPEC plus, which is the Middle Eastern 563 00:31:08,177 --> 00:31:12,697 Speaker 1: cartel that has the ability to artificially jack up prices, 564 00:31:12,777 --> 00:31:18,217 Speaker 1: and his administration's decision to limit the number of drilling 565 00:31:18,297 --> 00:31:22,177 Speaker 1: leases that it's allowing. It's signal to the market that 566 00:31:22,217 --> 00:31:24,977 Speaker 1: it's going to be very restrictive in how much oil 567 00:31:25,017 --> 00:31:28,737 Speaker 1: can be drilled. It is not. People talk about the 568 00:31:28,817 --> 00:31:31,617 Speaker 1: pistone xel pipeline, and that's true that that mattered, but 569 00:31:31,697 --> 00:31:34,217 Speaker 1: it mattered as much as the signal as it did 570 00:31:34,457 --> 00:31:37,217 Speaker 1: you know, the actual development of oil that would happen 571 00:31:37,577 --> 00:31:40,617 Speaker 1: in you know, three to four years from now. The 572 00:31:40,697 --> 00:31:44,577 Speaker 1: issue is that drilling oil is expensive. Distributors don't want 573 00:31:44,577 --> 00:31:47,417 Speaker 1: to set up new sites of drilling if the federal 574 00:31:47,457 --> 00:31:50,097 Speaker 1: government's just going to shut them down, So they don't 575 00:31:50,137 --> 00:31:53,177 Speaker 1: want to take a big bet on more oil expansion, 576 00:31:53,417 --> 00:31:55,977 Speaker 1: knowing that at any moment Biden is signaling that he 577 00:31:56,057 --> 00:31:59,097 Speaker 1: might just withdraw a permit or withdraw permission to drill. 578 00:31:59,697 --> 00:32:03,497 Speaker 1: So what do you have Biden hamstringing our domestic ability 579 00:32:03,737 --> 00:32:08,337 Speaker 1: for supply and instead now in a very embarrassing about 580 00:32:08,377 --> 00:32:11,817 Speaker 1: face for his foreign policy turning around. You know, on 581 00:32:11,937 --> 00:32:14,177 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, he said that he wanted to make Saudi 582 00:32:14,177 --> 00:32:18,777 Speaker 1: Arabia a quote global pariah, not using to realize that 583 00:32:18,857 --> 00:32:21,777 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia has actually been a very helpful and useful 584 00:32:21,817 --> 00:32:26,537 Speaker 1: ally in pivoting power away from Iran and China. And 585 00:32:26,657 --> 00:32:30,217 Speaker 1: now he's trying to go to Saudi Arabia, to Riyad, 586 00:32:30,697 --> 00:32:34,257 Speaker 1: to go on bended knee, to beg Mohammed bin Salmon 587 00:32:34,417 --> 00:32:38,377 Speaker 1: to jack up oil production and bring down prices. So 588 00:32:38,497 --> 00:32:42,697 Speaker 1: OPEC has apparently increased its output, so shouldn't Adamy for 589 00:32:42,697 --> 00:32:45,777 Speaker 1: the folks at home, result in prices dropping or just 590 00:32:45,817 --> 00:32:50,977 Speaker 1: too soon. Well, it remains to be seen, right, we 591 00:32:51,057 --> 00:32:54,337 Speaker 1: do want you know, the basic formula. Oil markets are 592 00:32:54,577 --> 00:32:59,017 Speaker 1: very elastic in the sense that if you have more supply, 593 00:32:59,737 --> 00:33:03,977 Speaker 1: then those prices will go down. But you still have 594 00:33:04,097 --> 00:33:07,417 Speaker 1: the Russia situation, which is reading havoc in Europe. You know, 595 00:33:07,457 --> 00:33:11,217 Speaker 1: in Germany because of oil inflation is well into the 596 00:33:11,257 --> 00:33:14,617 Speaker 1: double digits. So it's not just you know, quote unquote 597 00:33:14,617 --> 00:33:18,457 Speaker 1: supply chains. But why is it affecting us so much? 598 00:33:18,537 --> 00:33:22,457 Speaker 1: You know, gas prices are now double what they were 599 00:33:22,497 --> 00:33:25,617 Speaker 1: when by took office, So Russia doesn't explain it because 600 00:33:25,657 --> 00:33:29,137 Speaker 1: gas prices were on their way up long before Putin's 601 00:33:29,177 --> 00:33:33,017 Speaker 1: invasion into Ukraine. So some of it also just has 602 00:33:33,057 --> 00:33:35,657 Speaker 1: to do with you know, Saudi Arabia was really the 603 00:33:35,737 --> 00:33:40,977 Speaker 1: key OPEC member state that was sort of favorable to 604 00:33:41,017 --> 00:33:43,177 Speaker 1: the United States. A lot of those other Middle Eastern 605 00:33:43,217 --> 00:33:45,897 Speaker 1: nations did not see it in their interests to help 606 00:33:45,977 --> 00:33:49,537 Speaker 1: us out at all. To all the credit that for 607 00:33:49,617 --> 00:33:53,497 Speaker 1: all that, you know, liberals like to criticize Jared Kushner 608 00:33:54,017 --> 00:33:58,977 Speaker 1: him him fomenting a pretty positive relationship with MBS did 609 00:33:59,017 --> 00:34:00,977 Speaker 1: work very well. In our favor. I mean, there was 610 00:34:01,017 --> 00:34:04,577 Speaker 1: a period of time at Pete Covid in July twenty 611 00:34:04,657 --> 00:34:08,017 Speaker 1: twenty when oil futures went into the negatives because we 612 00:34:08,017 --> 00:34:12,097 Speaker 1: had so much supply. But now we'll see they can 613 00:34:12,177 --> 00:34:16,057 Speaker 1: release a little more oil, but it's not doing enough. 614 00:34:16,417 --> 00:34:19,017 Speaker 1: You still have to offset all of Europe that was 615 00:34:19,097 --> 00:34:22,297 Speaker 1: reliant on Russian oil, and you still have to And 616 00:34:22,857 --> 00:34:27,537 Speaker 1: we're still waiting on how much confidence domestic producers have 617 00:34:28,177 --> 00:34:31,177 Speaker 1: in their ability to drill. If they think Biden is 618 00:34:31,177 --> 00:34:34,497 Speaker 1: going to be lucy with the football continually pulling it away, 619 00:34:34,857 --> 00:34:36,617 Speaker 1: they will not have any incentive and we will be 620 00:34:36,777 --> 00:34:38,777 Speaker 1: once again dependent on four an oil. And last I 621 00:34:38,977 --> 00:34:42,817 Speaker 1: checked last night checked drilling in the Middle East doesn't 622 00:34:42,817 --> 00:34:47,017 Speaker 1: somehow reduce or doesn't somehow admit fewer greenhouse gas emission. 623 00:34:47,097 --> 00:34:50,417 Speaker 1: It is just as bad for the global climate change phenomenon. 624 00:34:50,777 --> 00:34:54,417 Speaker 1: So it's really just domestic hypocrisy on the Biden administration's part. 625 00:34:54,857 --> 00:34:57,257 Speaker 1: So President Biden was scheduled and visit the Middle East 626 00:34:57,297 --> 00:35:01,537 Speaker 1: this month, including the Saudi stop. That trip was postponed 627 00:35:01,617 --> 00:35:05,737 Speaker 1: until next month. Do we know what happened? So, according 628 00:35:05,817 --> 00:35:09,457 Speaker 1: to Politico and another report in the New York Times. 629 00:35:09,577 --> 00:35:13,457 Speaker 1: Biden has had this personal animus towards MBS over the 630 00:35:13,457 --> 00:35:17,217 Speaker 1: whole Jamaica Shogi thing, and mainly because he committed to 631 00:35:17,297 --> 00:35:20,137 Speaker 1: this position in the Primaria as a way to signal 632 00:35:20,217 --> 00:35:22,937 Speaker 1: to Democrat worried that he was too squishy, that this 633 00:35:22,977 --> 00:35:25,417 Speaker 1: is his way of opposing Trump, because in the end, 634 00:35:25,497 --> 00:35:29,657 Speaker 1: everything in our politics just comes back to Orange Man bad. 635 00:35:30,297 --> 00:35:33,097 Speaker 1: But advisors are saying, if you do not want to 636 00:35:33,137 --> 00:35:38,537 Speaker 1: piss off everyone betting that the Interior Department limits American drilling, 637 00:35:38,737 --> 00:35:41,817 Speaker 1: then you have to go to Saudi Arabia. Quite frankly, 638 00:35:41,977 --> 00:35:44,857 Speaker 1: Biden's position on Saudi Arabia has never made much sense 639 00:35:45,257 --> 00:35:49,657 Speaker 1: considering that you have no Biden saying that he wants 640 00:35:49,657 --> 00:35:52,977 Speaker 1: to make Saudi Arabia prior estate. But still the US 641 00:35:53,697 --> 00:35:58,617 Speaker 1: having Saudi Arabia, it's number one purchaser or client of arms, 642 00:35:58,897 --> 00:36:01,777 Speaker 1: the fact that we have totally backed to warren Yemen 643 00:36:01,857 --> 00:36:05,617 Speaker 1: without congressional approval. So it's not as though Biden actually 644 00:36:05,777 --> 00:36:09,017 Speaker 1: did anything to take vengeance for the death of Jamalka 645 00:36:09,057 --> 00:36:11,897 Speaker 1: Shogi who may or may not have been a sorry agent. 646 00:36:12,657 --> 00:36:15,617 Speaker 1: But it's just that he just wants to have the maximum, 647 00:36:15,697 --> 00:36:18,977 Speaker 1: you know, war of the words piss off MBS and 648 00:36:19,097 --> 00:36:21,697 Speaker 1: think that there will be no direct consequences. And right 649 00:36:21,697 --> 00:36:24,417 Speaker 1: now the consequences are all of us are paying at 650 00:36:24,417 --> 00:36:27,977 Speaker 1: the pump. I mean, in some states minimum wage doesn't 651 00:36:28,017 --> 00:36:31,217 Speaker 1: cover two gallons of gas. So so tina to that end. 652 00:36:31,257 --> 00:36:34,057 Speaker 1: Just for folks at home, what actually matters to them? 653 00:36:34,377 --> 00:36:38,137 Speaker 1: Are we looking at gas lines allow the Carter era? 654 00:36:38,177 --> 00:36:41,417 Speaker 1: Are we looking at shortages even more than we've already seen? 655 00:36:41,617 --> 00:36:44,097 Speaker 1: I mean, what's the gas picture looking like this summer? 656 00:36:45,657 --> 00:36:49,097 Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly think so, especially hopefully people have 657 00:36:49,137 --> 00:36:51,737 Speaker 1: transitioned away from diesel cars, which I know we're all 658 00:36:51,777 --> 00:36:55,257 Speaker 1: the rage with environments about fifteen years ago. I mean, 659 00:36:55,297 --> 00:36:58,257 Speaker 1: everything about this is remnant of the Carter administration. The 660 00:36:58,337 --> 00:37:02,857 Speaker 1: only difference is at least Carter had a Chairman of 661 00:37:02,897 --> 00:37:06,857 Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve who actually had the ponies to raise 662 00:37:06,977 --> 00:37:10,737 Speaker 1: rates on time. Right now, interest rates are one percent. 663 00:37:11,577 --> 00:37:15,017 Speaker 1: When interest rates were lack or when inflation was last 664 00:37:15,057 --> 00:37:19,617 Speaker 1: at eight point three eight point five percent, Paul Volper 665 00:37:20,137 --> 00:37:23,897 Speaker 1: brought up, you know, interest rates into the double digits. 666 00:37:23,937 --> 00:37:25,977 Speaker 1: So that is how behind the curve that bet is 667 00:37:25,977 --> 00:37:28,217 Speaker 1: on inflation. So I think it's going to be worse 668 00:37:28,217 --> 00:37:30,737 Speaker 1: than the Carter administration. But that just because I'm a pessimist, 669 00:37:30,737 --> 00:37:33,337 Speaker 1: and that's why you have to be here. Buff Joseph 670 00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:36,137 Speaker 1: Reality courtesy of Tina Always going to see Thanks for 671 00:37:36,177 --> 00:37:41,697 Speaker 1: being with us, Thank you buck. Elon Musk maybe rethinking 672 00:37:41,697 --> 00:37:43,777 Speaker 1: his acquisition of Twitter. We'll have that store a few 673 00:37:43,817 --> 00:37:52,417 Speaker 1: in quick hits, stay with us. Elon Musk may be 674 00:37:52,657 --> 00:37:56,737 Speaker 1: souring on his potential acquisition of Twitter, and a Canadian 675 00:37:56,857 --> 00:38:00,537 Speaker 1: HR professional says HR departments and recruiters are trying to 676 00:38:00,537 --> 00:38:03,337 Speaker 1: put conservatives out of work. We have these stories, any 677 00:38:03,417 --> 00:38:06,337 Speaker 1: quick kits. Let's get right to it. Look, there's very 678 00:38:06,377 --> 00:38:10,577 Speaker 1: few things that recently have freaked out the left and 679 00:38:10,617 --> 00:38:14,777 Speaker 1: the lives more than the prospect of Twitter becoming a 680 00:38:14,817 --> 00:38:18,377 Speaker 1: free speech platform, meaning that there would be very clear rules. 681 00:38:18,377 --> 00:38:20,217 Speaker 1: You can't do things that are illegal, you can't say 682 00:38:20,217 --> 00:38:22,937 Speaker 1: things that are legal, etc. But beyond that, you could 683 00:38:22,937 --> 00:38:27,617 Speaker 1: share disfavored opinions, maybe even quote misinformation, which as we know, 684 00:38:27,697 --> 00:38:30,017 Speaker 1: ends up a lot of time being right anyway. And 685 00:38:30,057 --> 00:38:32,537 Speaker 1: the left completely panicked about that because Elon Musk is 686 00:38:32,537 --> 00:38:34,337 Speaker 1: the richest man in the world and he says that 687 00:38:34,377 --> 00:38:38,217 Speaker 1: he's going to buy Twitter. Well, unfortunately, that may not 688 00:38:38,297 --> 00:38:41,377 Speaker 1: actually happen. We'll see. Here's a letter from Musk, who's 689 00:38:41,377 --> 00:38:43,457 Speaker 1: threatening to walk away from the Twitter deal. He said 690 00:38:43,457 --> 00:38:47,097 Speaker 1: based on Twitter's behavior to date and the company's latest correspondence. 691 00:38:47,097 --> 00:38:50,897 Speaker 1: In particular, mister Musk believes the company's actively resisting and 692 00:38:51,017 --> 00:38:54,617 Speaker 1: thwarting his information rights under the merger agreement. This is 693 00:38:54,657 --> 00:38:58,777 Speaker 1: a clear material breach of Twitter's obligations under the merger agreement, 694 00:38:59,017 --> 00:39:03,777 Speaker 1: and mister Musk reserves all rights resulting therefrom including his 695 00:39:03,937 --> 00:39:07,297 Speaker 1: right not to consummate the transaction and his right to 696 00:39:07,457 --> 00:39:12,577 Speaker 1: terminate the merger agreement. So this is concerning to those 697 00:39:12,577 --> 00:39:15,177 Speaker 1: of us who are hoping that this may open a 698 00:39:15,297 --> 00:39:17,897 Speaker 1: pathway for Twitter to be a true free speech platform. 699 00:39:18,697 --> 00:39:21,017 Speaker 1: If must doesn't buy it, then Twitter goes back to 700 00:39:21,137 --> 00:39:25,177 Speaker 1: its old habits, most likely of suppressing conservative and doing 701 00:39:25,217 --> 00:39:29,857 Speaker 1: everything in its power to elevate the ideology of the 702 00:39:29,937 --> 00:39:33,497 Speaker 1: left as though it is sacrosanct truth. Of course, it's 703 00:39:33,537 --> 00:39:35,977 Speaker 1: not the case. They were wrong about so much during COVID. 704 00:39:35,977 --> 00:39:37,737 Speaker 1: They've been wrong about so much that it's hard to 705 00:39:37,777 --> 00:39:41,177 Speaker 1: even begin to list it all out here. But Elon 706 00:39:41,737 --> 00:39:43,897 Speaker 1: buying Twitter would be a great thing for free speech. 707 00:39:43,897 --> 00:39:46,937 Speaker 1: A great thing for our republic in my opinion, and 708 00:39:46,977 --> 00:39:49,817 Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen because they're playing games and because 709 00:39:49,817 --> 00:39:53,417 Speaker 1: the woke libs are trying to mess up the deal, 710 00:39:53,617 --> 00:39:56,177 Speaker 1: then well be a loss for all of us. So 711 00:39:56,257 --> 00:39:58,297 Speaker 1: let's hope it goes through. But by the way, Elon 712 00:39:58,417 --> 00:40:02,537 Speaker 1: also caught our eye over the weekend because he asked 713 00:40:02,577 --> 00:40:05,097 Speaker 1: an important question that he shared a meme that says 714 00:40:05,617 --> 00:40:07,737 Speaker 1: things I'll never see in my life, and it had 715 00:40:07,737 --> 00:40:11,217 Speaker 1: photos of a dragon, a dinosaur, and a unicorn. And 716 00:40:11,257 --> 00:40:14,377 Speaker 1: also it says the Epstein Maxwell client list. He added, 717 00:40:15,057 --> 00:40:18,577 Speaker 1: the only thing more remarkable than DJ not leaking this 718 00:40:18,617 --> 00:40:21,017 Speaker 1: list is that no one in the media cares. Doesn't 719 00:40:21,097 --> 00:40:28,257 Speaker 1: that seem odd? Well, yes, it does seem quite odd, 720 00:40:28,417 --> 00:40:33,537 Speaker 1: doesn't it Given the history of the Department of Justice 721 00:40:33,537 --> 00:40:39,537 Speaker 1: in recent years of leaking very sensitive information for political purposes. Certainly, 722 00:40:40,217 --> 00:40:41,937 Speaker 1: doesn't it seem like this is the kind of thing 723 00:40:41,937 --> 00:40:45,377 Speaker 1: that might just get out there. Don't we have some 724 00:40:45,537 --> 00:40:50,217 Speaker 1: right to know who was involved in this way? Who 725 00:40:50,337 --> 00:40:56,337 Speaker 1: was involved with Epstein and Maxwell? Is that something that 726 00:40:56,377 --> 00:40:58,017 Speaker 1: could be public record? I mean, we don't know if 727 00:40:58,017 --> 00:41:00,297 Speaker 1: it actually did anything criminally, but who was on that list? 728 00:41:01,057 --> 00:41:03,097 Speaker 1: We want to ask them some questions like why are 729 00:41:03,137 --> 00:41:05,497 Speaker 1: you on the list? But that never somehow makes it 730 00:41:05,537 --> 00:41:07,617 Speaker 1: to the light of day. I wonder why, notice how 731 00:41:07,697 --> 00:41:09,177 Speaker 1: they set up I'm just gonna tell you this is 732 00:41:09,217 --> 00:41:13,937 Speaker 1: my analysis of that. You had Maxwell and Epstein with 733 00:41:13,977 --> 00:41:18,297 Speaker 1: a massive surveillance operation and clearly meant to entrap some 734 00:41:18,297 --> 00:41:20,177 Speaker 1: of the richest and most powerful people in the world. 735 00:41:20,697 --> 00:41:24,697 Speaker 1: And yet none of that surveillance data, none of the 736 00:41:24,897 --> 00:41:28,257 Speaker 1: blackmail material has ever even been spoken about, never mind 737 00:41:28,657 --> 00:41:32,817 Speaker 1: shared with the public. Is so interesting in a criminal investigation, 738 00:41:32,857 --> 00:41:36,057 Speaker 1: isn't it all? Right? Now, here's a Canadian HR professional 739 00:41:36,057 --> 00:41:38,977 Speaker 1: who tells conservatives that recruiters in HR will get them 740 00:41:38,977 --> 00:41:42,297 Speaker 1: fired for their politics. Yeah, you don't say, watch I'm 741 00:41:42,337 --> 00:41:46,497 Speaker 1: a recruiter. It's a small, small, small industry, smaller than 742 00:41:46,537 --> 00:41:50,457 Speaker 1: you'd think. Same with HR. So if you're looking for 743 00:41:50,497 --> 00:41:54,897 Speaker 1: a job, or maybe trying to keep a job, maybe 744 00:41:55,377 --> 00:42:02,737 Speaker 1: just maybe think about what you're putting on social media. Again, 745 00:42:02,857 --> 00:42:06,817 Speaker 1: freedom fighters, I know you're not really big with stats, 746 00:42:06,857 --> 00:42:10,657 Speaker 1: and you know facts aren't your thing, you know, But 747 00:42:11,017 --> 00:42:13,897 Speaker 1: what I can tell you, what is the fact is 748 00:42:13,897 --> 00:42:18,337 Speaker 1: that recruiters talk, and recruiters, like the majority of Canada 749 00:42:18,817 --> 00:42:21,417 Speaker 1: don't agree with you. Do you know what that means? 750 00:42:21,937 --> 00:42:24,257 Speaker 1: Do you have any of guesses, any guesses what that means? 751 00:42:24,257 --> 00:42:26,657 Speaker 1: What that means is that if you need a job, 752 00:42:27,097 --> 00:42:29,217 Speaker 1: you might not get one. If you want to keep 753 00:42:29,217 --> 00:42:33,577 Speaker 1: a job, you might not get to do that. They're telling, yeah, 754 00:42:33,577 --> 00:42:36,337 Speaker 1: you better tell the line of the left wing agenda 755 00:42:36,377 --> 00:42:38,417 Speaker 1: here or else not gonna get a job. I could 756 00:42:38,457 --> 00:42:41,777 Speaker 1: fire from your job. Here you go, folks, they've infiltrated everything, 757 00:42:41,857 --> 00:42:44,697 Speaker 1: including hr as every tonight told the line the nose 758 00:42:44,697 --> 00:43:04,017 Speaker 1: spinoos of Bill O'Reilly is next feels high. Each morning, 759 00:43:04,137 --> 00:43:07,137 Speaker 1: the President of the United States receives a highly classified 760 00:43:07,177 --> 00:43:10,217 Speaker 1: briefing on the most important issues facing the country. It's 761 00:43:10,257 --> 00:43:13,697 Speaker 1: called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered by 762 00:43:13,737 --> 00:43:16,897 Speaker 1: America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear your 763 00:43:17,017 --> 00:43:20,217 Speaker 1: very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted 764 00:43:20,257 --> 00:43:23,897 Speaker 1: by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 765 00:43:24,257 --> 00:43:26,937 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 766 00:43:26,977 --> 00:43:29,697 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 767 00:43:29,977 --> 00:43:33,377 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 768 00:43:33,377 --> 00:43:34,537 Speaker 1: start your morning.
