According to an article 4 00:00:22,617 --> 00:00:25,217 Speaker 1: by NBC News, the White House has become rattled by 5 00:00:25,217 --> 00:00:28,097 Speaker 1: the presidents sinking approval rating and a growing list of 6 00:00:28,217 --> 00:00:32,857 Speaker 1: crisis items that Joe Biden appears unable to resolve. With 7 00:00:32,937 --> 00:00:35,057 Speaker 1: the interm elections right around the corner of Democrats are 8 00:00:35,057 --> 00:00:37,777 Speaker 1: now ringing the alarm bell saying if things don't improve, 9 00:00:37,897 --> 00:00:41,657 Speaker 1: they could be headed for a wipeout of historic proportions. 10 00:00:42,017 --> 00:00:50,777 Speaker 1: Let's hope. So, friends, it's time for holding lone. Welcome 11 00:00:50,777 --> 00:00:53,177 Speaker 1: to hold a line on buck Sexton. Biden's had a 12 00:00:53,257 --> 00:00:56,697 Speaker 1: rough presidency so far, folks, no way around that. It's 13 00:00:56,697 --> 00:00:58,857 Speaker 1: not looking more and more obvious to everybody. It's actually 14 00:00:58,857 --> 00:01:02,097 Speaker 1: a catastrophe. Build back better, which never even happened. If 15 00:01:02,137 --> 00:01:05,057 Speaker 1: it had, would have actually made things worse. You've also 16 00:01:05,097 --> 00:01:06,777 Speaker 1: got I'm not going to shut down the economy. I'm 17 00:01:06,777 --> 00:01:08,857 Speaker 1: gonna shut down the virus. Didn't shut down the virus, 18 00:01:08,897 --> 00:01:11,657 Speaker 1: but certainly done plenty of damage to the economy. And 19 00:01:11,777 --> 00:01:14,897 Speaker 1: people are figuring this out, not just people like me 20 00:01:14,897 --> 00:01:16,657 Speaker 1: who are Republicans who know that Joe Biden was an 21 00:01:16,657 --> 00:01:20,897 Speaker 1: imbecile from the start. I'm talking about independent swing voters, 22 00:01:21,417 --> 00:01:24,137 Speaker 1: the people who will look at the results of a 23 00:01:24,177 --> 00:01:26,897 Speaker 1: Biden presidency and say I don't want any more of 24 00:01:26,897 --> 00:01:29,657 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, and the Democrat Party, of course, 25 00:01:29,737 --> 00:01:32,737 Speaker 1: goes along with them because they're in charge. We've got 26 00:01:32,737 --> 00:01:35,697 Speaker 1: a midterm election coming up. How is it looking for 27 00:01:35,937 --> 00:01:41,017 Speaker 1: Biden as we approach this critical midterm election. Well, five 28 00:01:41,217 --> 00:01:44,017 Speaker 1: thirty eight has pulled together an aggregate of polls to 29 00:01:44,017 --> 00:01:49,777 Speaker 1: show that fifty four percent disapprove and only forty percent 30 00:01:50,297 --> 00:01:52,977 Speaker 1: forty point eight percent approve, which is near an all 31 00:01:53,057 --> 00:01:59,457 Speaker 1: time low for any president. So here we are. You'd think, 32 00:01:59,497 --> 00:02:01,417 Speaker 1: given what they promised to us, that Joe Biden would 33 00:02:01,417 --> 00:02:05,697 Speaker 1: be taking victory laps, but instead you have the media 34 00:02:06,297 --> 00:02:10,577 Speaker 1: running out of options for defense of this astration. They 35 00:02:10,617 --> 00:02:13,817 Speaker 1: don't even know what to say. NBC News had a 36 00:02:13,857 --> 00:02:15,737 Speaker 1: story over the week, and that you have to read 37 00:02:15,817 --> 00:02:18,617 Speaker 1: to believe, because there's so much in there about a 38 00:02:18,617 --> 00:02:21,417 Speaker 1: White House in disarray, about a commander in chief who 39 00:02:21,857 --> 00:02:25,857 Speaker 1: seems befuddled by the most straightforward situations, who has to 40 00:02:25,897 --> 00:02:29,537 Speaker 1: have his staffers clean up his messes on a regular basis, 41 00:02:29,537 --> 00:02:33,897 Speaker 1: and then who gets aggravated with them because they try 42 00:02:33,897 --> 00:02:36,817 Speaker 1: to help clarify some of the comments that Bidens made. 43 00:02:36,897 --> 00:02:40,777 Speaker 1: This from NBC News. Crises have piled up in ways 44 00:02:40,777 --> 00:02:42,857 Speaker 1: that have at times made the Biden White House look 45 00:02:43,257 --> 00:02:48,217 Speaker 1: flat footed. That's generous record inflation, high gas prices arise 46 00:02:48,257 --> 00:02:50,977 Speaker 1: in COVID case numbers, and now a Texas school masacer. 47 00:02:51,057 --> 00:02:54,097 Speaker 1: That is one more horrific reminder that Biden has been 48 00:02:54,177 --> 00:02:57,617 Speaker 1: unable to get Congress to pass legislation to herb gun violence. 49 00:02:57,977 --> 00:02:59,817 Speaker 1: Democratic leaders are at a loss about how he can 50 00:02:59,817 --> 00:03:03,377 Speaker 1: revive his prospects by November, when midterm elections may cost 51 00:03:03,457 --> 00:03:08,537 Speaker 1: his party control of Congress. You don't say this is 52 00:03:08,657 --> 00:03:12,257 Speaker 1: NBC News saying wow, oh yeah, it's really been tough 53 00:03:12,297 --> 00:03:14,977 Speaker 1: for this Biden administration. I guess it's kind of hard 54 00:03:15,017 --> 00:03:17,737 Speaker 1: for Joe to deliver on all those things he promised, 55 00:03:17,737 --> 00:03:19,417 Speaker 1: and of course it's heart for Joe Biden. Joe Biden 56 00:03:19,497 --> 00:03:21,617 Speaker 1: is an imbecile. We all know it, you know, and 57 00:03:21,657 --> 00:03:24,417 Speaker 1: I know this is obvious. It's been obvious all along. 58 00:03:24,977 --> 00:03:28,057 Speaker 1: This presidency was foisted on the American people through the 59 00:03:28,217 --> 00:03:33,217 Speaker 1: conniving media, pretending that somehow Joe Biden wasn't to call 60 00:03:33,257 --> 00:03:36,497 Speaker 1: it past his prime is far too generous. We all 61 00:03:36,537 --> 00:03:39,537 Speaker 1: saw this coming. Who's gonna be a trojan horse, a 62 00:03:39,577 --> 00:03:42,497 Speaker 1: guy who's been in politics a long time. So the 63 00:03:42,497 --> 00:03:45,097 Speaker 1: American people think he can't be that bad, rights Joe Biden, 64 00:03:45,857 --> 00:03:49,097 Speaker 1: But actually he's just a frontman for a far left 65 00:03:49,097 --> 00:03:51,737 Speaker 1: wing agenda that has done tremendous damage to the country, 66 00:03:51,737 --> 00:03:54,617 Speaker 1: and not just damage in rhetorical terms. It's not oh, 67 00:03:54,217 --> 00:04:00,737 Speaker 1: I don't like Biden's last speech he gave on US 68 00:04:00,937 --> 00:04:03,337 Speaker 1: trade relations with Asia or something. No, No, this is 69 00:04:03,377 --> 00:04:05,777 Speaker 1: stuff that affects people in their day to day like, 70 00:04:05,937 --> 00:04:10,537 Speaker 1: for example, a gas price four dollars and sixty one 71 00:04:10,577 --> 00:04:13,497 Speaker 1: cents a gallon. Now, if Joe Biden, let's be fair, 72 00:04:13,897 --> 00:04:17,177 Speaker 1: president doesn't entirely control gas prices. But if Joe Biden, 73 00:04:17,217 --> 00:04:22,177 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, more to the point, we're not obviously 74 00:04:22,297 --> 00:04:27,577 Speaker 1: hostile toward domestic production of energy that is fossil fuel based. 75 00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:31,937 Speaker 1: If they weren't obviously hostile toward the oil and gas industry, 76 00:04:32,377 --> 00:04:34,577 Speaker 1: you might say, well, you know, this is just kind 77 00:04:34,617 --> 00:04:37,657 Speaker 1: of a tough time. But no, we have inflation hitting, 78 00:04:38,017 --> 00:04:40,977 Speaker 1: we have the price of gas high, and we have 79 00:04:41,137 --> 00:04:46,457 Speaker 1: all kinds of ideological impediments in place by these lunatic 80 00:04:46,537 --> 00:04:49,737 Speaker 1: left wing democrats when it comes to domestic energy, so 81 00:04:49,777 --> 00:04:52,657 Speaker 1: that it's over six dollars a gallatin in parts of California. 82 00:04:52,657 --> 00:04:55,537 Speaker 1: I mean, the prices are getting crazy both and it's 83 00:04:55,657 --> 00:04:57,777 Speaker 1: not surprising. And the price of gas started to go 84 00:04:57,857 --> 00:05:01,017 Speaker 1: up right when Joe Biden took office. So what are 85 00:05:01,017 --> 00:05:02,857 Speaker 1: they going to tell you? Oh, that's right, whatever they 86 00:05:02,897 --> 00:05:04,417 Speaker 1: have to tell you so they can stay in power, 87 00:05:04,457 --> 00:05:07,817 Speaker 1: because these people are buffoons, they're incompetence. So here's biden 88 00:05:07,857 --> 00:05:12,977 Speaker 1: economic advisor Elia Rouse, all those gas prices and you 89 00:05:13,097 --> 00:05:17,617 Speaker 1: guessed it Russia's fault. He completely understands that. But let's 90 00:05:17,617 --> 00:05:22,097 Speaker 1: be very clear that the increase in gas prices is largely, 91 00:05:22,617 --> 00:05:26,137 Speaker 1: especially a late due to Putin's war on Ukraine. And 92 00:05:26,217 --> 00:05:29,977 Speaker 1: it is really important that Russia stopped this war. And 93 00:05:30,057 --> 00:05:32,377 Speaker 1: that is what the EU is trying to do by load, 94 00:05:32,497 --> 00:05:37,017 Speaker 1: by putting more pressure on Russia, by cutting off part 95 00:05:37,057 --> 00:05:41,337 Speaker 1: of the reserves and the resources that he's using to 96 00:05:41,337 --> 00:05:44,377 Speaker 1: fund the war, because they understand just how important this 97 00:05:44,897 --> 00:05:48,017 Speaker 1: war is for preserving democracy and for protecting the EU 98 00:05:48,417 --> 00:05:52,497 Speaker 1: going forward, preserving democracy. That's right. The war in Ukraine 99 00:05:52,537 --> 00:05:56,697 Speaker 1: is about preserving the democratic order in every other country 100 00:05:56,697 --> 00:05:59,977 Speaker 1: all over the world. Apparently that's quite a bid a statement. 101 00:05:59,977 --> 00:06:02,937 Speaker 1: The Biden administration keeps making about this, by the way, 102 00:06:02,937 --> 00:06:04,617 Speaker 1: on the inflation issue, because you know, we have the 103 00:06:04,617 --> 00:06:09,377 Speaker 1: worst inflation in forty years. Yeah, look at that. Biden 104 00:06:09,377 --> 00:06:13,977 Speaker 1: advisor Brian Deese, whoever this guy is, says, oh, look, 105 00:06:14,057 --> 00:06:17,617 Speaker 1: we're in a transition phase, folks. You know it happens. 106 00:06:17,657 --> 00:06:21,177 Speaker 1: Watch where does the White House see inflation? Do you 107 00:06:21,617 --> 00:06:25,097 Speaker 1: see it moderating? Is it going higher or do you 108 00:06:25,137 --> 00:06:28,697 Speaker 1: see a slowdown? Well, I think where we are right 109 00:06:28,737 --> 00:06:31,577 Speaker 1: now is in a transition, transitioning from what has been 110 00:06:31,617 --> 00:06:35,017 Speaker 1: a historically strong economic recovery to what can be more 111 00:06:35,097 --> 00:06:40,977 Speaker 1: stable and resilient growth. Transition to that more stable Biden 112 00:06:41,137 --> 00:06:43,897 Speaker 1: was supposed to be the transition as and he comes 113 00:06:43,897 --> 00:06:45,857 Speaker 1: into office and we're gonna have a great economy and 114 00:06:45,857 --> 00:06:49,337 Speaker 1: everything's normal and stable and good, and that's what they 115 00:06:49,377 --> 00:06:51,857 Speaker 1: were promising us. But that's not what happened at all, 116 00:06:51,897 --> 00:06:55,177 Speaker 1: and nobody should have believed that in the first place. 117 00:06:55,257 --> 00:07:00,177 Speaker 1: But people are unfortunately susceptible to the kind of propaganda 118 00:07:00,337 --> 00:07:03,177 Speaker 1: that the Democrat aligned media puts out there on a 119 00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:06,337 Speaker 1: regular basis. Oh back to that NBA. Speaking of which, 120 00:07:06,377 --> 00:07:10,457 Speaker 1: back to the NBC News mbasc NBC News story. President 121 00:07:10,497 --> 00:07:13,137 Speaker 1: has also told aids he doesn't think enough Democrats go 122 00:07:13,177 --> 00:07:16,457 Speaker 1: on television to defend him. A particular sore spot is 123 00:07:16,497 --> 00:07:20,017 Speaker 1: his slumping poll numbers. He's mystified that his approval rating 124 00:07:20,017 --> 00:07:22,177 Speaker 1: has dropped to a level approaching that of his predecessor, 125 00:07:22,217 --> 00:07:25,657 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, ranked by historians whatever that means, as one 126 00:07:25,657 --> 00:07:29,337 Speaker 1: of the worst presidents in history. Biden is mystified. Nobody 127 00:07:29,337 --> 00:07:32,577 Speaker 1: else is mystified. Everybody else understands exactly why this guy's 128 00:07:32,617 --> 00:07:35,737 Speaker 1: president is in the dumpster, and the dumpster has gasoline 129 00:07:35,737 --> 00:07:38,457 Speaker 1: poured on it and is already on fire. That's what 130 00:07:38,497 --> 00:07:40,817 Speaker 1: we're actually dealing with right now. But somehow Joe Biden 131 00:07:40,937 --> 00:07:42,177 Speaker 1: is like, what do you mean they think that I'm 132 00:07:42,217 --> 00:07:45,617 Speaker 1: not doing a great job. And he's now apparently telling 133 00:07:45,697 --> 00:07:50,417 Speaker 1: his staffers that they shouldn't speak out to clean up 134 00:07:50,497 --> 00:07:53,177 Speaker 1: his verbal message that he makes and that he's the 135 00:07:53,257 --> 00:07:55,257 Speaker 1: president and there needs to be a greater respect of that. 136 00:07:55,337 --> 00:07:58,817 Speaker 1: But they realize this guy is completely out of his depth, 137 00:07:58,857 --> 00:08:02,417 Speaker 1: always has been, is a mediocrity was a mediocrity at 138 00:08:02,457 --> 00:08:05,097 Speaker 1: best in American politics. A senator from Delaware. Yeah, I 139 00:08:05,097 --> 00:08:07,497 Speaker 1: did a lot of really great stuff. And now he's 140 00:08:07,537 --> 00:08:09,257 Speaker 1: a president, and the American people are suffering, and the 141 00:08:09,297 --> 00:08:11,857 Speaker 1: Democrat Party, which has been in charge for now almost 142 00:08:11,897 --> 00:08:14,857 Speaker 1: while going on two years, has made a mess of things. 143 00:08:15,257 --> 00:08:18,937 Speaker 1: Not a surprise, folks, but the consequences, the consequences are 144 00:08:18,977 --> 00:08:21,857 Speaker 1: now we're all seeing. We'll have more on this situation 145 00:08:21,937 --> 00:08:25,337 Speaker 1: with former advisor to President Trump Jason Miller in a moment. 146 00:08:25,537 --> 00:08:27,617 Speaker 1: Let's talk about protecting your online data for a minute. 147 00:08:27,657 --> 00:08:29,697 Speaker 1: A lot of companies promise your privacy is guaranteed, but 148 00:08:29,817 --> 00:08:31,897 Speaker 1: that's just not true.

The 187 00:10:43,937 --> 00:10:48,097 Speaker 1: President Biden's approval ratings continuing to drop, Democrats are rightly 188 00:10:48,377 --> 00:10:51,537 Speaker 1: worried about a total wipeout of the coming midterm elections. 189 00:10:51,657 --> 00:10:54,577 Speaker 1: Please please make it happen. In addition to the potential 190 00:10:54,617 --> 00:10:58,937 Speaker 1: red way, President Biden's also reportedly upset that his predecessor's 191 00:10:58,977 --> 00:11:01,977 Speaker 1: approval ratings are higher than his are at the same 192 00:11:01,977 --> 00:11:05,737 Speaker 1: time in the first term of their respective presidencies. So 193 00:11:05,817 --> 00:11:08,337 Speaker 1: less than two years since his election has the Biden 194 00:11:08,417 --> 00:11:11,977 Speaker 1: presidency become a lost call already? I mean now, former 195 00:11:12,057 --> 00:11:15,417 Speaker 1: Senior advisor to former President Trump and the CEO of 196 00:11:15,817 --> 00:11:20,257 Speaker 1: get Her, Jason Miller. Jason, what do you think, man, Biden? 197 00:11:20,417 --> 00:11:23,577 Speaker 1: The Titanic is sinking? How fast is it going down? 198 00:11:23,617 --> 00:11:27,137 Speaker 1: What's going to happen? But if you can literally find 199 00:11:27,177 --> 00:11:30,417 Speaker 1: a way to merge the Titanic with the Hindenberg, you'd 200 00:11:30,457 --> 00:11:32,897 Speaker 1: basically have where Joe Biden is right now. It's a 201 00:11:32,937 --> 00:11:36,897 Speaker 1: bad situation and only getting worse. And the problem with 202 00:11:37,097 --> 00:11:40,777 Speaker 1: the essentially the candidate that the Democrats have and Joe Biden, 203 00:11:41,137 --> 00:11:43,577 Speaker 1: is that you can't take him in change any of 204 00:11:43,657 --> 00:11:47,777 Speaker 1: his behaviors. You can't eliminate the well apparent sundowners that 205 00:11:47,857 --> 00:11:50,977 Speaker 1: he suffers from. You can't get him to be sharper 206 00:11:51,097 --> 00:11:53,937 Speaker 1: or smarter on the stump. And his policies are bad 207 00:11:53,977 --> 00:11:56,417 Speaker 1: news because the more he starts to talk about them, 208 00:11:56,657 --> 00:11:59,297 Speaker 1: the more he starts to alienate not just those voters 209 00:11:59,297 --> 00:12:02,537 Speaker 1: in the middle, but even those core Democratic constituencies they 210 00:12:02,577 --> 00:12:06,617 Speaker 1: take for granted, including African Americans and Hispanic Americans, particularly 211 00:12:06,617 --> 00:12:11,777 Speaker 1: with inflation. So you may have seen in this NBC 212 00:12:12,497 --> 00:12:15,057 Speaker 1: News report over the weekend, had a lot of really 213 00:12:15,057 --> 00:12:18,097 Speaker 1: interesting stuff because I guess at this point they realize 214 00:12:18,177 --> 00:12:20,497 Speaker 1: it's gonna get out one way or another. They can't 215 00:12:20,537 --> 00:12:23,857 Speaker 1: just hold up everything for Biden and prop him up entirely, 216 00:12:24,217 --> 00:12:26,097 Speaker 1: so at least they can get some clicks while they 217 00:12:26,097 --> 00:12:28,897 Speaker 1: have to tell some version of some of the truth. 218 00:12:29,297 --> 00:12:31,177 Speaker 1: But the quote that I thought was so funny was 219 00:12:31,257 --> 00:12:34,777 Speaker 1: any assessment of Biden's performance needs to take into account 220 00:12:34,777 --> 00:12:38,297 Speaker 1: the epic challenges he faced from the start. That are 221 00:12:38,337 --> 00:12:41,217 Speaker 1: they really going with that the presidency's a hard job, 222 00:12:41,337 --> 00:12:43,537 Speaker 1: Biden needs a blanket over his knees and should go 223 00:12:43,617 --> 00:12:47,097 Speaker 1: feed the squirrels. Now? Is that where we are? Well, 224 00:12:47,137 --> 00:12:51,337 Speaker 1: they're already blaming Ukraine, the invasion of Ukraine, for anything 225 00:12:51,457 --> 00:12:53,337 Speaker 1: bad that's happening in the world. In fact, I couldn't 226 00:12:53,377 --> 00:12:56,297 Speaker 1: believe that today's a Wall Street Journal op ed literally 227 00:12:56,377 --> 00:12:59,577 Speaker 1: leads with, well, there's inflation, but it's because of Putin 228 00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:02,337 Speaker 1: in Ukraine. Here's one of the things, buck if it 229 00:13:02,377 --> 00:13:03,777 Speaker 1: kind of one of those hear me now, believe me 230 00:13:03,857 --> 00:13:06,977 Speaker 1: later types. The best thing for Republicans is to have 231 00:13:07,097 --> 00:13:10,217 Speaker 1: Joe Biden on the ballot in twenty twenty four. And 232 00:13:10,417 --> 00:13:13,577 Speaker 1: I think that President Trump announces that he's definitely running 233 00:13:13,937 --> 00:13:16,817 Speaker 1: that locks in Biden to run against him. Biden will say, 234 00:13:16,857 --> 00:13:18,817 Speaker 1: you know what, guys, I'm the only one who's actually 235 00:13:18,817 --> 00:13:21,337 Speaker 1: beaten Trump. Let me do it, give me another chance. 236 00:13:21,697 --> 00:13:23,737 Speaker 1: I think the sooner President Trump gets out there and 237 00:13:23,777 --> 00:13:26,217 Speaker 1: says he's running in twenty twenty four, that's gonna lock 238 00:13:26,337 --> 00:13:28,697 Speaker 1: Biden and saying, you guys aren't pulling me out of here, 239 00:13:28,897 --> 00:13:31,377 Speaker 1: whether or not have half a brain or no brain left, 240 00:13:31,617 --> 00:13:33,497 Speaker 1: and it could be a big win for Republicans in 241 00:13:33,537 --> 00:13:36,257 Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty four. So you were a senior 242 00:13:36,457 --> 00:13:40,537 Speaker 1: Trump advisor, Jason, and I think it's interesting that the 243 00:13:41,457 --> 00:13:44,857 Speaker 1: dynamic right now for this presidency apparently involved some of 244 00:13:44,897 --> 00:13:49,257 Speaker 1: his top advisors cleaning up his mess I call it 245 00:13:49,297 --> 00:13:52,257 Speaker 1: clean up on aile Biden so frequently in the press 246 00:13:52,697 --> 00:13:56,417 Speaker 1: that now he is pushing back, saying, stop cleaning up 247 00:13:56,457 --> 00:13:59,217 Speaker 1: what I say. Let me speak directly to the people 248 00:13:59,777 --> 00:14:02,777 Speaker 1: without you changing what I say or trying to alter 249 00:14:03,657 --> 00:14:06,057 Speaker 1: the perception of what I'm saying after the fact, to 250 00:14:06,097 --> 00:14:08,617 Speaker 1: the point where even in this article at NBC News 251 00:14:08,617 --> 00:14:11,017 Speaker 1: wrote there was something about how Biden has to remind 252 00:14:11,137 --> 00:14:16,257 Speaker 1: his staffers that he's the president. That's I mean, what 253 00:14:16,377 --> 00:14:18,377 Speaker 1: do you even say to that? I mean, that's pretty sad. 254 00:14:18,417 --> 00:14:20,657 Speaker 1: And the thing is is that in a couple times here, 255 00:14:21,057 --> 00:14:23,257 Speaker 1: what Biden has said that his staff has gone back 256 00:14:23,257 --> 00:14:25,697 Speaker 1: and change has actually been the right thing. In fact, 257 00:14:26,017 --> 00:14:27,857 Speaker 1: last week, when Biden came out and said that the 258 00:14:27,937 --> 00:14:32,097 Speaker 1: US would equivocally defend Taiwan in the threat of an 259 00:14:32,097 --> 00:14:34,897 Speaker 1: invasion from China, in my opinion, that was the right 260 00:14:34,937 --> 00:14:37,537 Speaker 1: things the first time I've said Biden's actually done something right, 261 00:14:37,857 --> 00:14:40,977 Speaker 1: sends the correct signal to Taiwan, correct signal to allies 262 00:14:41,017 --> 00:14:43,777 Speaker 1: like Japan, the right signal to China, and you know it. 263 00:14:43,857 --> 00:14:46,857 Speaker 1: This is actually what deterrence is about, something we did 264 00:14:46,857 --> 00:14:49,097 Speaker 1: not have when it came to Ukraine or anything else 265 00:14:49,337 --> 00:14:53,017 Speaker 1: ever since Biden's fumbling of Afghanistan. But literally no sooner 266 00:14:53,057 --> 00:14:55,737 Speaker 1: did those words come out of Biden's mouth that the 267 00:14:55,777 --> 00:14:59,337 Speaker 1: State Department and the White House started backtracking on it. Now, 268 00:14:59,377 --> 00:15:03,137 Speaker 1: so nobody has any respect for the Biden administration domestically 269 00:15:03,217 --> 00:15:07,017 Speaker 1: or internationally. What do you think the playbook is here 270 00:15:07,097 --> 00:15:08,697 Speaker 1: that they're going to try to run. I mean, the 271 00:15:08,737 --> 00:15:12,857 Speaker 1: polls that we could show are pretty stunning. Um And 272 00:15:13,137 --> 00:15:17,537 Speaker 1: in fact, Biden has already been expressing concern about the 273 00:15:17,657 --> 00:15:21,257 Speaker 1: losses that he's taken with support from suburban women, the 274 00:15:21,417 --> 00:15:24,977 Speaker 1: demographic that Democrats have really counted on in the in 275 00:15:25,017 --> 00:15:27,977 Speaker 1: the Trump and post Trump era to try to come 276 00:15:27,977 --> 00:15:30,697 Speaker 1: to their their aid at the ballot box. Suburban women 277 00:15:30,777 --> 00:15:34,737 Speaker 1: are turns out, there they're unhappy with baby formula shortages, 278 00:15:34,737 --> 00:15:37,177 Speaker 1: the worst inflation in forty years, and an economy that's 279 00:15:37,177 --> 00:15:39,697 Speaker 1: on the brink of recession, and the highest gas prices 280 00:15:39,697 --> 00:15:42,177 Speaker 1: they've seen in recent memory. Turns out, you know a 281 00:15:42,417 --> 00:15:44,257 Speaker 1: lot of women in the suburbs or anywhere else are 282 00:15:44,337 --> 00:15:46,817 Speaker 1: upset with that. So what do you think the playbook 283 00:15:46,857 --> 00:15:50,577 Speaker 1: then become? It becomes? Is it really? And while people 284 00:15:51,137 --> 00:15:57,337 Speaker 1: are suffering through all this obvious economic deprivation and all 285 00:15:57,337 --> 00:15:59,857 Speaker 1: the challenges that are being brought right now to just 286 00:15:59,897 --> 00:16:02,617 Speaker 1: paying the bills, are Democrats going to turn around and 287 00:16:02,657 --> 00:16:05,097 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, January sixth, vote for us? Is that? 288 00:16:05,177 --> 00:16:07,537 Speaker 1: Is that the plan? What's the plan? I think they're 289 00:16:07,537 --> 00:16:09,257 Speaker 1: gonna Yeah, I think they're gonna try to do that. 290 00:16:09,337 --> 00:16:11,457 Speaker 1: I think they'll also try to rally around Roe v. 291 00:16:11,617 --> 00:16:14,777 Speaker 1: Wade being overturned or likely being overturned based on that 292 00:16:14,897 --> 00:16:17,217 Speaker 1: draft decision. But here's the thing, Buck, this is like 293 00:16:17,297 --> 00:16:20,337 Speaker 1: being down by two touchdowns with only one possession left 294 00:16:20,377 --> 00:16:22,537 Speaker 1: in the game. Even if you score a touchdown, you're 295 00:16:22,537 --> 00:16:25,417 Speaker 1: still going to come up short. And Biden's problem really 296 00:16:25,497 --> 00:16:27,897 Speaker 1: is twofold number one. You can't teach an old dog 297 00:16:27,937 --> 00:16:29,537 Speaker 1: new tricks. So it's not as though you're going to 298 00:16:29,577 --> 00:16:32,857 Speaker 1: go get Biden to as a reference before start being sharp, 299 00:16:32,977 --> 00:16:35,537 Speaker 1: or stop making fumbles, or get him to do something 300 00:16:35,537 --> 00:16:38,097 Speaker 1: that's kind of funky outside the box. He's well too 301 00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:40,617 Speaker 1: far advanced in both his age and his career to 302 00:16:40,737 --> 00:16:44,297 Speaker 1: do something new. The other problem, it's the economy stupid. 303 00:16:44,537 --> 00:16:48,577 Speaker 1: I tell you Carvill's line was absolutely genius from some 304 00:16:48,737 --> 00:16:52,377 Speaker 1: thirty years ago, and it's the case Biden cannot reverse 305 00:16:52,697 --> 00:16:57,057 Speaker 1: this inflation trend by spending more money and reflexively, the 306 00:16:57,137 --> 00:17:00,577 Speaker 1: only thing Democrats know how to do is spend more money. Well, 307 00:17:00,617 --> 00:17:03,177 Speaker 1: of course you know this. You start printing more money 308 00:17:03,217 --> 00:17:05,897 Speaker 1: without anything to back it up, without anything changing, that's 309 00:17:05,897 --> 00:17:08,177 Speaker 1: just going to make inflation worse. So I see this 310 00:17:08,217 --> 00:17:12,497 Speaker 1: as being a dual pronged problem for Joe Biden. I 311 00:17:12,537 --> 00:17:16,057 Speaker 1: don't see any way they can reverse course. If this 312 00:17:16,217 --> 00:17:20,537 Speaker 1: is the absolute wipe out, the political annihilation that I 313 00:17:20,577 --> 00:17:22,377 Speaker 1: don't want to get ahead of myself, but I'm certainly 314 00:17:22,377 --> 00:17:24,537 Speaker 1: hoping it is for Democrats for so many reasons. I mean, 315 00:17:24,577 --> 00:17:28,377 Speaker 1: for me, COVID alone and their approach to COVID should 316 00:17:28,377 --> 00:17:32,137 Speaker 1: be justification for just a complete destruction of their power 317 00:17:32,137 --> 00:17:35,017 Speaker 1: at the ballot box. But do you think that there's 318 00:17:35,097 --> 00:17:37,977 Speaker 1: Do you think that we could see a Biden announcement 319 00:17:38,017 --> 00:17:39,777 Speaker 1: that he's not going to seek a second term. If 320 00:17:39,777 --> 00:17:42,297 Speaker 1: that happens, how do you see that part playing out? 321 00:17:44,057 --> 00:17:47,057 Speaker 1: I would like to think so. But Joe Biden is 322 00:17:47,097 --> 00:17:50,137 Speaker 1: one of the most stubborn people in politics, and this 323 00:17:50,217 --> 00:17:52,777 Speaker 1: is one of the We've seen little flashes of this 324 00:17:52,857 --> 00:17:54,417 Speaker 1: from time to time, or see a little bit of 325 00:17:54,417 --> 00:17:57,257 Speaker 1: the Joe Biden anger lash out. But that's where I 326 00:17:57,257 --> 00:18:00,657 Speaker 1: think President Trump jumping in could force Joe Biden to 327 00:18:00,697 --> 00:18:04,457 Speaker 1: stick around. Joe Biden, just by nature, by his DNA, 328 00:18:04,777 --> 00:18:07,017 Speaker 1: won't want to quit, won't want to give in, and 329 00:18:07,057 --> 00:18:08,417 Speaker 1: that could be a way to lock him in. So 330 00:18:08,457 --> 00:18:11,497 Speaker 1: I think that could be a two front success, both 331 00:18:11,537 --> 00:18:14,697 Speaker 1: with President Trump making an early declaration and then also 332 00:18:14,737 --> 00:18:17,257 Speaker 1: getting Biden to commit to sticking around. And boy, I 333 00:18:17,337 --> 00:18:19,177 Speaker 1: tell you, the Democrats are going to be cranky when 334 00:18:19,177 --> 00:18:21,377 Speaker 1: they know they have Joe Biden locked in for twenty 335 00:18:21,377 --> 00:18:23,617 Speaker 1: four and they can't do anything about it. It's a 336 00:18:23,657 --> 00:18:27,657 Speaker 1: scenario I love. Cranky Biden could be a name that 337 00:18:27,857 --> 00:18:31,257 Speaker 1: a certain former president attaches to the current president at 338 00:18:31,297 --> 00:18:33,417 Speaker 1: some point in the near future. We'll have to see Jason. 339 00:18:33,697 --> 00:18:36,697 Speaker 1: Always good to see. Thanks for being with us, Thank you, sir. 340 00:18:38,937 --> 00:18:42,497 Speaker 1: President Biden visited Yuvalda, Texas this weekend, as blue states 341 00:18:42,497 --> 00:18:44,977 Speaker 1: around the country begin their efforts to impose stricter gun 342 00:18:45,017 --> 00:18:47,457 Speaker 1: control laws in the wake of the deadly mass shooting 343 00:18:47,457 --> 00:18:49,777 Speaker 1: in that small town. It's like a closer look at 344 00:18:49,777 --> 00:18:53,577 Speaker 1: what the gun control crowd has in store after the break. First, 345 00:18:53,657 --> 00:18:55,337 Speaker 1: let's talk about protecting your home. I don't know if 346 00:18:55,377 --> 00:18:57,337 Speaker 1: you saw this, but there was a recent story about 347 00:18:57,377 --> 00:18:59,417 Speaker 1: an Arizona real estate agent that found the home she 348 00:18:59,457 --> 00:19:02,137 Speaker 1: lived in was listed for sale. Problem was, she wasn't 349 00:19:02,177 --> 00:19:04,897 Speaker 1: selling her home. She was the victim of home title fraud, 350 00:19:04,937 --> 00:19:08,017 Speaker 1: a devastating crime happening all over the country. According to 351 00:19:08,017 --> 00:19:09,817 Speaker 1: the experts at home title lock the crime is in 352 00:19:10,057 --> 00:19:13,137 Speaker 1: credibly profitable and hard to detect. An identity thief simply 353 00:19:13,137 --> 00:19:15,537 Speaker 1: creates a fake title transfer for your home and refiles 354 00:19:15,537 --> 00:19:17,737 Speaker 1: as the new owner that he can take out loans 355 00:19:17,737 --> 00:19:20,777 Speaker 1: on your home or sell it. Typical identity theft services 356 00:19:20,817 --> 00:19:24,177 Speaker 1: don't cover you, and neither does homeowners insurance. Home title 357 00:19:24,217 --> 00:19:27,297 Speaker 1: lock does. However, home title Lock puts a barrier around 358 00:19:27,337 --> 00:19:30,777 Speaker 1: your home's title virtually the instant they detect anyone tampering 359 00:19:30,777 --> 00:19:32,577 Speaker 1: with your home title, they help shut it down, and 360 00:19:32,657 --> 00:19:35,377 Speaker 1: they help get you get your home back in your name. 361 00:19:35,737 --> 00:19:37,817 Speaker 1: Here's what you should do now, go to hometitlelock dot 362 00:19:37,817 --> 00:19:40,737 Speaker 1: com and read the testimonials from FBI agents and government officials. 363 00:19:41,057 --> 00:19:43,217 Speaker 1: Then register or address to see if you're already a 364 00:19:43,297 --> 00:19:45,457 Speaker 1: victim and don't even know it. When you protect your home, 365 00:19:45,697 --> 00:19:47,817 Speaker 1: tell them Buck sent you to get thirty free days 366 00:19:47,857 --> 00:19:51,497 Speaker 1: of protection. Home titlelock dot com. That's home titlelock dot 367 00:19:51,577 --> 00:19:54,937 Speaker 1: com and we'll be right back with more. Hold the line. 368 00:19:59,417 --> 00:20:04,417 Speaker 1: It will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer, 369 00:20:04,777 --> 00:20:10,617 Speaker 1: or import handguns anywhere in Canada, and we'll acquire the 370 00:20:10,737 --> 00:20:14,977 Speaker 1: permanent alteration of long gun magazines so they can never 371 00:20:15,377 --> 00:20:20,497 Speaker 1: hold more than five rounds. Prime Minister of Canada Justin 372 00:20:20,577 --> 00:20:25,737 Speaker 1: Trudeau announcing his proposal to freeze handgun transactions. If passed, 373 00:20:26,137 --> 00:20:29,137 Speaker 1: the law would make buying all short barreled firearms illegal 374 00:20:29,137 --> 00:20:32,457 Speaker 1: and impose a five round limit on magazines. Trudeau is 375 00:20:32,497 --> 00:20:35,297 Speaker 1: not the only politician looking to make it more difficult 376 00:20:35,297 --> 00:20:38,057 Speaker 1: to purchase firearms. Here in the US, at least three 377 00:20:38,097 --> 00:20:41,417 Speaker 1: states are moving ahead with some form of gun control legislation. 378 00:20:41,937 --> 00:20:44,577 Speaker 1: So is any of this actually likely to be effective 379 00:20:44,697 --> 00:20:48,777 Speaker 1: in preventing the mass shootings like the one that occurred 380 00:20:48,817 --> 00:20:51,857 Speaker 1: in uval Day, Texas? Joman now to discussed President of 381 00:20:51,897 --> 00:20:55,577 Speaker 1: the Crime Prevention Research Center, John Lott, John, thank you 382 00:20:55,577 --> 00:20:58,737 Speaker 1: breeing with us. It's great to talk to you. Gainbuck. 383 00:20:59,377 --> 00:21:03,977 Speaker 1: Let's start with the Canada law or expected law if 384 00:21:03,977 --> 00:21:07,977 Speaker 1: you will. You know you had justin Trudeau saying, this 385 00:21:08,057 --> 00:21:10,657 Speaker 1: is what experts and law enforcement of calling for for 386 00:21:10,697 --> 00:21:12,777 Speaker 1: a long time. He's a politician. He makes stuff up 387 00:21:12,817 --> 00:21:16,057 Speaker 1: a lot. I get that. What's the reality one of 388 00:21:16,537 --> 00:21:21,017 Speaker 1: gun violence in Canada? Handgun sales in Canada and magazine 389 00:21:21,057 --> 00:21:26,337 Speaker 1: limitations as a means of stopping violence. Look, Canada since 390 00:21:26,417 --> 00:21:30,097 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty four has had very strict regulations on handguns. 391 00:21:30,097 --> 00:21:34,017 Speaker 1: You have to get a license to do that. Truggo's 392 00:21:34,057 --> 00:21:38,137 Speaker 1: father ended concealed carry in Canada in the mid nineteen seventies, 393 00:21:39,257 --> 00:21:42,057 Speaker 1: but there have been reports from the Royal Canadian amount 394 00:21:42,137 --> 00:21:45,737 Speaker 1: of Police. Even with the registration and licensing of handguns 395 00:21:45,737 --> 00:21:48,817 Speaker 1: that they've had, as I say, since thirty four, they 396 00:21:48,857 --> 00:21:51,337 Speaker 1: can't point to any crimes that they've been able to 397 00:21:51,377 --> 00:21:55,257 Speaker 1: solve as a result of registration licensing. The people who 398 00:21:55,257 --> 00:22:00,417 Speaker 1: have had and guns have been largely drug dealer type situations, 399 00:22:00,977 --> 00:22:02,857 Speaker 1: and the notion that they're going to be able to 400 00:22:02,857 --> 00:22:05,857 Speaker 1: stop drug dealers from be able to go and get 401 00:22:05,897 --> 00:22:09,937 Speaker 1: guns is probably no more realistic than they've been able 402 00:22:09,977 --> 00:22:12,457 Speaker 1: to stop drug dealers from getting illegal drugs to go 403 00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:15,377 Speaker 1: and sell. It's not like drug dealers can go to 404 00:22:15,417 --> 00:22:18,217 Speaker 1: the police and say, look this other dealers stole my drugs, 405 00:22:18,257 --> 00:22:20,377 Speaker 1: can you help us get them back. They have to 406 00:22:20,377 --> 00:22:22,977 Speaker 1: set up their own little militaries to go and protect 407 00:22:23,057 --> 00:22:26,617 Speaker 1: that extremely valuable property that they have. And the notion 408 00:22:27,057 --> 00:22:30,017 Speaker 1: that somehow, if I could think my fingers and cause 409 00:22:30,097 --> 00:22:34,617 Speaker 1: all legal drugs to disappear from Canada and all guns, 410 00:22:34,657 --> 00:22:38,377 Speaker 1: that illegal drugs wouldn't start coming back into the country, 411 00:22:38,417 --> 00:22:40,657 Speaker 1: and they'd be bringing in the weapons that they need 412 00:22:40,697 --> 00:22:43,457 Speaker 1: to protect that very valuable property at the same time 413 00:22:44,177 --> 00:22:47,497 Speaker 1: just isn't very serious. And what do we know about 414 00:22:47,497 --> 00:22:51,217 Speaker 1: the history of magazine limitations. But first of all, there 415 00:22:51,217 --> 00:22:54,337 Speaker 1: are an estimated, as I've seen it John, twenty million 416 00:22:54,417 --> 00:22:59,577 Speaker 1: guns in Canada. Already people have more magazines. Gun owners 417 00:22:59,577 --> 00:23:02,697 Speaker 1: have more magazines than guns usually, So you're talking about 418 00:23:02,737 --> 00:23:06,337 Speaker 1: tens of millions of magazines already in circulation, and now 419 00:23:06,417 --> 00:23:08,977 Speaker 1: they're saying there's going to be a five round limit 420 00:23:09,057 --> 00:23:12,817 Speaker 1: in magazines. New magazine sold is? I mean, they did 421 00:23:12,857 --> 00:23:14,697 Speaker 1: something I believe similar to this in New York with 422 00:23:14,777 --> 00:23:18,657 Speaker 1: the Safe Act. What do we know about trying to 423 00:23:18,777 --> 00:23:21,697 Speaker 1: combat mass shootings or gun violence of any cry of 424 00:23:21,737 --> 00:23:25,097 Speaker 1: any kind by making it a crying to have a 425 00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:29,257 Speaker 1: bigger magazine? Right? Well, I mean we had the Federal 426 00:23:29,297 --> 00:23:31,977 Speaker 1: Assault of Its banned from ninety four to two thousand 427 00:23:32,057 --> 00:23:34,297 Speaker 1: and four, where we had a limit of ten rounds 428 00:23:34,817 --> 00:23:38,937 Speaker 1: in a magazine. The Safe Act in New York imposed 429 00:23:38,977 --> 00:23:41,297 Speaker 1: a seven round limit, but that was struck down by 430 00:23:41,377 --> 00:23:45,377 Speaker 1: the courts. Look, I don't know if these guys know 431 00:23:45,577 --> 00:23:48,737 Speaker 1: much about guns at all, but probably not. But a 432 00:23:48,737 --> 00:23:51,617 Speaker 1: magazine is essentially a box with a spring in it. 433 00:23:51,777 --> 00:23:56,097 Speaker 1: I've seen people with very simple machine tools create a 434 00:23:56,137 --> 00:24:01,457 Speaker 1: magazine literally in less than two minutes from scratch. The 435 00:24:01,497 --> 00:24:03,777 Speaker 1: notion that you're going to be able to stop criminals 436 00:24:03,777 --> 00:24:06,377 Speaker 1: from be able to go and get magazines just isn't 437 00:24:07,097 --> 00:24:11,657 Speaker 1: very believable or realistic. And so you know, they can 438 00:24:11,697 --> 00:24:15,217 Speaker 1: go and pass these types of rules. But these rules, 439 00:24:15,297 --> 00:24:18,577 Speaker 1: as with the gun control rules, generally, are going to 440 00:24:18,697 --> 00:24:22,337 Speaker 1: primarily impact law abiding citizens who are going to be 441 00:24:22,377 --> 00:24:25,657 Speaker 1: obeying these rules that are there. And when you're talking 442 00:24:25,657 --> 00:24:29,937 Speaker 1: about magazine limits generally, I'll give you an example of 443 00:24:29,977 --> 00:24:32,337 Speaker 1: how it affects law abiding citizens. So let's say you're 444 00:24:32,337 --> 00:24:36,017 Speaker 1: gonna have somebody engage in a mass public shooting. They're 445 00:24:36,017 --> 00:24:38,857 Speaker 1: going to go and take multiple magazines with them. It's 446 00:24:38,977 --> 00:24:41,337 Speaker 1: only takes literally a couple of seconds, as I know, 447 00:24:41,457 --> 00:24:44,097 Speaker 1: you know, to be able to swap out one magazine 448 00:24:44,097 --> 00:24:47,817 Speaker 1: and replace it with another one. But if you're one 449 00:24:47,857 --> 00:24:50,657 Speaker 1: of the twenty two million concealed carry permit holders in 450 00:24:50,697 --> 00:24:55,017 Speaker 1: the United States, virtually always the only magazine that you're 451 00:24:55,057 --> 00:24:56,937 Speaker 1: going to have is going to be the magazine that's 452 00:24:57,017 --> 00:25:00,577 Speaker 1: in your gun at the time. And if you limit 453 00:25:00,617 --> 00:25:03,817 Speaker 1: the size of magazines, and these are law abiding individuals, 454 00:25:04,137 --> 00:25:06,817 Speaker 1: you essentially limit the number of rounds that the law 455 00:25:06,857 --> 00:25:10,337 Speaker 1: abiding citizens that's going to carry. They're not going to 456 00:25:10,417 --> 00:25:13,177 Speaker 1: go and carry around a lot of extra magazines because 457 00:25:13,217 --> 00:25:16,177 Speaker 1: the odds that anyone bad thing is going to happen 458 00:25:16,217 --> 00:25:18,617 Speaker 1: at any one point in time is pretty low. But 459 00:25:18,657 --> 00:25:21,297 Speaker 1: if you're a mass public shooter or somebody who's intent 460 00:25:21,417 --> 00:25:24,337 Speaker 1: on doing that, you know, you know you're going to 461 00:25:24,497 --> 00:25:27,057 Speaker 1: need to have multiple magazines at that time, and so 462 00:25:27,097 --> 00:25:30,257 Speaker 1: you're gonna take them with you. And so really those 463 00:25:30,297 --> 00:25:34,337 Speaker 1: types of rules, look, I want to do something about 464 00:25:34,377 --> 00:25:37,377 Speaker 1: these shootings, but I want to do something that actually matters. 465 00:25:37,697 --> 00:25:40,897 Speaker 1: And the thing is these types of rules, whether it's 466 00:25:40,937 --> 00:25:44,137 Speaker 1: things like background checks on the private transfers of guns 467 00:25:44,137 --> 00:25:47,857 Speaker 1: and so called universal background checks, or salt weapons bands 468 00:25:47,977 --> 00:25:51,457 Speaker 1: or what have you, you know, they're not going to 469 00:25:51,497 --> 00:25:54,897 Speaker 1: do anything beneficial. They could cause some harm. And I 470 00:25:54,977 --> 00:25:57,897 Speaker 1: really wish we would go and concentrate on what I 471 00:25:57,937 --> 00:26:00,537 Speaker 1: think is the central problem here, whether it's Canada or 472 00:26:00,577 --> 00:26:03,657 Speaker 1: the United States, and that is these gun free zones. 473 00:26:04,217 --> 00:26:06,537 Speaker 1: You go and you make it so that guns are 474 00:26:06,537 --> 00:26:10,297 Speaker 1: banned in a particular place, and that creates more problems 475 00:26:10,337 --> 00:26:13,057 Speaker 1: because it actually creates a magnet for these people to 476 00:26:13,137 --> 00:26:15,737 Speaker 1: go and do the attack. Somebody just has to read 477 00:26:15,857 --> 00:26:19,657 Speaker 1: things like the Buffalo Shooters manifesto or read the diaries 478 00:26:19,777 --> 00:26:24,017 Speaker 1: or other things. These guys explicitly go and target places 479 00:26:24,417 --> 00:26:27,457 Speaker 1: where law abiding citizens are prevented from being able to 480 00:26:27,497 --> 00:26:30,537 Speaker 1: go and protect themselves, whether it's the Canadian laws that 481 00:26:30,617 --> 00:26:32,817 Speaker 1: are there. They're going to make it more costly, more 482 00:26:32,857 --> 00:26:36,217 Speaker 1: difficult for the types of proposals they're being talked about here, 483 00:26:36,857 --> 00:26:38,857 Speaker 1: it's going to be the most vulnerable people who are 484 00:26:38,857 --> 00:26:40,897 Speaker 1: going to be harmed, and it's going to just create 485 00:26:41,017 --> 00:26:43,937 Speaker 1: more places where the criminals are going to have an 486 00:26:43,937 --> 00:26:47,337 Speaker 1: advantage over the victims. John California, New York, and New 487 00:26:47,417 --> 00:26:50,577 Speaker 1: Jersey are all considering some form of gun legislation. We 488 00:26:50,617 --> 00:26:54,377 Speaker 1: already know that's been reported, and California Governor Gavin Newsom 489 00:26:54,497 --> 00:26:56,937 Speaker 1: says that while the US Senate stands highly by and 490 00:26:57,017 --> 00:26:59,977 Speaker 1: activist federal judges strike down common sense gun laws across 491 00:26:59,977 --> 00:27:04,257 Speaker 1: our nation, California will act with the urgency this crisis demands. 492 00:27:04,817 --> 00:27:07,937 Speaker 1: I mean, California, New York, New Jersey, they already have 493 00:27:08,017 --> 00:27:10,777 Speaker 1: a lot of gun laws. So what is this really 494 00:27:10,817 --> 00:27:13,857 Speaker 1: just about an assault weapons ban? Is that? Is that 495 00:27:13,897 --> 00:27:17,337 Speaker 1: what this is pushing for? No, I mean, they just 496 00:27:17,337 --> 00:27:19,697 Speaker 1: want to make it they want to ban guns. Look, 497 00:27:19,697 --> 00:27:22,457 Speaker 1: I mean after the Buffalo shooting, which, by the way, 498 00:27:22,537 --> 00:27:26,817 Speaker 1: the Buffalo shooter, if you read his manifesto specifically picked 499 00:27:26,817 --> 00:27:29,497 Speaker 1: in a AR fifteen. There was New York state compliant 500 00:27:29,497 --> 00:27:33,537 Speaker 1: because New York has a stricter a'll sualten span than 501 00:27:33,617 --> 00:27:36,297 Speaker 1: we had originally with the federal law. But he picked 502 00:27:36,337 --> 00:27:38,337 Speaker 1: it because he knew it was going to get people upset, 503 00:27:38,417 --> 00:27:39,937 Speaker 1: and that's the reason why he wanted to do He 504 00:27:39,977 --> 00:27:43,057 Speaker 1: knew there'd be calls for more gun control after he 505 00:27:43,137 --> 00:27:46,977 Speaker 1: did his attack. The bizarre thing is Biden goes to 506 00:27:47,017 --> 00:27:49,937 Speaker 1: Buffalo and what does he call for The number one thing? 507 00:27:49,937 --> 00:27:52,177 Speaker 1: He calls for it as a sault weapon band. Well, 508 00:27:52,537 --> 00:27:54,817 Speaker 1: the guy got the gun in New York. New York 509 00:27:54,857 --> 00:27:58,537 Speaker 1: has an assault weapons ban, and Biden's saying, if we 510 00:27:58,577 --> 00:28:01,937 Speaker 1: only had a federal assault weapons band that somehow like 511 00:28:02,017 --> 00:28:04,577 Speaker 1: we had in the nineties and the early two thousands, 512 00:28:04,577 --> 00:28:07,857 Speaker 1: and that would have stopped this attack. So it's just 513 00:28:08,337 --> 00:28:12,337 Speaker 1: but the media doesn't push back on these things. You know. 514 00:28:13,537 --> 00:28:16,777 Speaker 1: The number one thing that Biden normally refers to as 515 00:28:17,097 --> 00:28:20,417 Speaker 1: background checks on the private transference of guns. California already 516 00:28:20,417 --> 00:28:26,617 Speaker 1: has that new York has that. I wish one reporter 517 00:28:27,137 --> 00:28:30,137 Speaker 1: would go and ask Biden, say, look, you mentioned this 518 00:28:30,217 --> 00:28:34,137 Speaker 1: law proposal many times. Can you tell me one mass 519 00:28:34,217 --> 00:28:38,097 Speaker 1: public shooting this century, just one that would have been 520 00:28:38,137 --> 00:28:40,817 Speaker 1: stopped if such a law had been in effect and 521 00:28:40,897 --> 00:28:44,417 Speaker 1: it had been perfectly enforced, Because there's none, and you'd 522 00:28:44,417 --> 00:28:48,577 Speaker 1: have to admit that there's none. But the main point 523 00:28:48,617 --> 00:28:50,337 Speaker 1: that I think that they want to have this is 524 00:28:50,377 --> 00:28:52,937 Speaker 1: just to make it costly for people to have guns. 525 00:28:52,937 --> 00:28:56,217 Speaker 1: In Washington, DC, where they have it, it coust one 526 00:28:56,297 --> 00:28:58,897 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five dollars to do a background check 527 00:28:59,177 --> 00:29:01,497 Speaker 1: on a private transfer of a gun. That may not 528 00:29:01,617 --> 00:29:03,697 Speaker 1: stop you or I from be able to get a gun, 529 00:29:03,777 --> 00:29:07,857 Speaker 1: but my research indicates the very people who benefit the 530 00:29:07,937 --> 00:29:11,377 Speaker 1: most from owning guns, poor minorities, the people who are 531 00:29:11,417 --> 00:29:14,577 Speaker 1: most likely victims of violent crime, one hundred and twenty 532 00:29:14,577 --> 00:29:17,737 Speaker 1: five dollars just for the background check might make the 533 00:29:17,817 --> 00:29:20,817 Speaker 1: difference between whether or not they're legally able to obtain 534 00:29:20,817 --> 00:29:23,537 Speaker 1: a gun to protect themselves and their families. But I'll 535 00:29:23,577 --> 00:29:26,577 Speaker 1: just give you a simple example of how these laws 536 00:29:26,697 --> 00:29:29,777 Speaker 1: purposely do that. Let's say, Buck, you and I were 537 00:29:29,817 --> 00:29:32,777 Speaker 1: in Washington, DC, and I'm going to give you four guns. 538 00:29:32,777 --> 00:29:36,177 Speaker 1: It's just John giving Buck four guns. You would think 539 00:29:36,617 --> 00:29:39,377 Speaker 1: just one person giving one other person four guns and 540 00:29:39,417 --> 00:29:42,777 Speaker 1: should just be one background check, right, No, they require 541 00:29:42,817 --> 00:29:46,177 Speaker 1: a separate background check with a separate fee on each one. 542 00:29:46,657 --> 00:29:49,817 Speaker 1: So for me to do that transit, it's five hundred 543 00:29:49,817 --> 00:29:54,457 Speaker 1: dollars California. And understand, it's like the New York. It's 544 00:29:54,457 --> 00:29:56,457 Speaker 1: like the New York gun permit situation where they just 545 00:29:56,497 --> 00:29:58,337 Speaker 1: they charge you three hundred dollars and they make it 546 00:29:58,377 --> 00:30:00,137 Speaker 1: five hundred, and then they make it three hundred when 547 00:30:00,137 --> 00:30:02,617 Speaker 1: the NA says they're going to sue. I mean, got 548 00:30:02,617 --> 00:30:05,057 Speaker 1: a lot of issues here, John, appreciate your expertise on this, 549 00:30:05,097 --> 00:30:06,497 Speaker 1: and we're going to talk to you about this more 550 00:30:06,617 --> 00:30:08,617 Speaker 1: certainly in the weeks ahead.

A New York 555 00:30:24,977 --> 00:30:27,857 Speaker 1: Time survey is once again demonstrating the devastating toll the 556 00:30:27,857 --> 00:30:30,257 Speaker 1: pandemic has had on children's mental health. We'll have more 557 00:30:30,257 --> 00:30:32,617 Speaker 1: on that. The host of Counterculture on the Epic Times 558 00:30:32,697 --> 00:30:39,217 Speaker 1: Danielle de SUSA when we come back. Each morning, the 559 00:30:39,257 --> 00:30:42,497 Speaker 1: President of the United States receives a highly classified briefing 560 00:30:42,497 --> 00:30:45,377 Speaker 1: on the most important issues facing the country. It's called 561 00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:49,217 Speaker 1: the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered by America's 562 00:30:49,217 --> 00:30:52,177 Speaker 1: spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear your very 563 00:30:52,257 --> 00:30:55,337 Speaker 1: own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by 564 00:30:55,377 --> 00:30:59,457 Speaker 1: me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer.

After two years of lockdown, social distancing, 569 00:31:19,777 --> 00:31:22,297 Speaker 1: and mask wearing, we are finally starting to understand the 570 00:31:22,457 --> 00:31:26,537 Speaker 1: devastating toll the pandemic had on children's mental health. In 571 00:31:26,537 --> 00:31:28,497 Speaker 1: a recent New York Times survey of three hundred and 572 00:31:28,497 --> 00:31:32,177 Speaker 1: sixty two school counselors nationwide, they described many students as 573 00:31:32,297 --> 00:31:35,937 Speaker 1: frozen socially and emotionally at the age they were when 574 00:31:35,937 --> 00:31:40,257 Speaker 1: the pandemics started. Nearly all counselors, ninety four percent said 575 00:31:40,257 --> 00:31:43,137 Speaker 1: their students were showing more signs of anxiety and depression 576 00:31:43,137 --> 00:31:46,337 Speaker 1: than before the pandemic. Eighty eight percent said students were 577 00:31:46,337 --> 00:31:50,257 Speaker 1: having more trouble regulating their emotions, and almost three quarters 578 00:31:50,257 --> 00:31:54,137 Speaker 1: said they were having more difficulty solving conflicts with friends. 579 00:31:54,577 --> 00:31:57,937 Speaker 1: Jomany now to discuss Danielle de Suza, host of Counterculture 580 00:31:58,057 --> 00:32:01,057 Speaker 1: with Danielle de Susan. Danielle, good to see you. I'm 581 00:32:01,097 --> 00:32:05,377 Speaker 1: glad free to see you. So, Danielle, America's school children 582 00:32:05,457 --> 00:32:08,337 Speaker 1: didn't just have learning loss when it comes to reading 583 00:32:08,337 --> 00:32:13,537 Speaker 1: in math, but social emotional skills devastating to them in 584 00:32:14,217 --> 00:32:18,177 Speaker 1: those capacities. And there was no benefit to this. I mean, 585 00:32:18,497 --> 00:32:21,177 Speaker 1: what do we do now that we're seeing the full 586 00:32:21,217 --> 00:32:23,497 Speaker 1: scope of what was done to our children in the 587 00:32:23,577 --> 00:32:28,337 Speaker 1: name of protecting them. This is pure evil. Honestly, our 588 00:32:28,457 --> 00:32:32,297 Speaker 1: children were basically turned into these sacrificial lambs. They were 589 00:32:32,337 --> 00:32:34,497 Speaker 1: thrown under the bus and for what, as you said, 590 00:32:34,537 --> 00:32:37,417 Speaker 1: for what purpose? It was literally only for the idiocy 591 00:32:37,457 --> 00:32:40,617 Speaker 1: of the left, so they could keep promoting these evil policies. 592 00:32:40,857 --> 00:32:42,777 Speaker 1: And now even we see that kids who are in 593 00:32:43,057 --> 00:32:45,937 Speaker 1: sixth grade basically have the emotional level of the learning 594 00:32:45,977 --> 00:32:48,057 Speaker 1: skills of a child who's in third grade, and a 595 00:32:48,177 --> 00:32:50,617 Speaker 1: third grader basically has the skills of a child who's 596 00:32:50,657 --> 00:32:53,097 Speaker 1: in first grade, they literally haven't been in school for 597 00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:55,577 Speaker 1: about two years. So what if that tell us that 598 00:32:55,857 --> 00:32:57,817 Speaker 1: entire time of those couple of years. How are they 599 00:32:57,817 --> 00:32:59,697 Speaker 1: going to make that up at that age? That's such 600 00:32:59,697 --> 00:33:02,417 Speaker 1: a huge difference, and I think parents are honestly done 601 00:33:02,417 --> 00:33:04,817 Speaker 1: with that. Even in New York, in DC and all 602 00:33:04,857 --> 00:33:07,457 Speaker 1: of these left wing areas, they basically decided they're not 603 00:33:07,497 --> 00:33:10,337 Speaker 1: going to wear masks themselves. They're tired of this them selves. 604 00:33:10,417 --> 00:33:12,937 Speaker 1: The vaccine passports they're sick of. And so why have 605 00:33:13,017 --> 00:33:15,137 Speaker 1: the kids are Why are they the ones who basically 606 00:33:15,137 --> 00:33:16,897 Speaker 1: had to bear the brunt of this and have these 607 00:33:16,937 --> 00:33:20,937 Speaker 1: long term emotional depression loneliness issues when the rest of 608 00:33:21,017 --> 00:33:23,577 Speaker 1: us have moved on with our lives. This is from 609 00:33:23,617 --> 00:33:26,737 Speaker 1: the New York Times article that finally took a look 610 00:33:26,737 --> 00:33:28,977 Speaker 1: at some of these numbers. I think, unfortunately far too late, 611 00:33:29,017 --> 00:33:31,337 Speaker 1: and after the New York Times, played among many other 612 00:33:31,497 --> 00:33:35,177 Speaker 1: major Democrat aligned media outlets, played a huge role in 613 00:33:35,297 --> 00:33:40,377 Speaker 1: creating the political momentum for these kinds of policies, including 614 00:33:40,417 --> 00:33:42,577 Speaker 1: the school lockdowns and all the damage they did. This 615 00:33:42,737 --> 00:33:45,417 Speaker 1: from that article, Kids have the highest list is quotes 616 00:33:45,457 --> 00:33:48,177 Speaker 1: from counselors. Kids have the highest level of anxiety I've 617 00:33:48,217 --> 00:33:51,497 Speaker 1: ever seen, anxiety about basic safety and fear of what 618 00:33:51,537 --> 00:33:54,857 Speaker 1: could happen. I've seen more physical fights this year than 619 00:33:54,897 --> 00:33:59,257 Speaker 1: in my fifteen years combined. The foundational skills for learning 620 00:33:59,617 --> 00:34:01,937 Speaker 1: need to be re taught. I mean, that's just that's 621 00:34:02,097 --> 00:34:04,497 Speaker 1: devastating from school counselors. This is the New York Times 622 00:34:04,497 --> 00:34:08,257 Speaker 1: reporting on it. Yeah, and you know, the left, they 623 00:34:08,297 --> 00:34:10,377 Speaker 1: act like they're the ones who care so much about 624 00:34:10,377 --> 00:34:12,337 Speaker 1: mental health. They act like they're the ones who are 625 00:34:12,377 --> 00:34:15,617 Speaker 1: just the nice guys, and AOC will make videos saying, oh, 626 00:34:15,657 --> 00:34:18,057 Speaker 1: you know, make sure you change into your pj's at 627 00:34:18,177 --> 00:34:20,537 Speaker 1: night so that you have some good mental health. You 628 00:34:20,577 --> 00:34:23,097 Speaker 1: can kind of distinguish your day from your night. And 629 00:34:23,217 --> 00:34:26,177 Speaker 1: yet us on the right, you know, sometimes we act like, oh, yeah, 630 00:34:26,217 --> 00:34:28,497 Speaker 1: you know, they're the nice people, but we're tough, and 631 00:34:28,537 --> 00:34:30,577 Speaker 1: it's like, no, actually, we're the ones who care about 632 00:34:30,617 --> 00:34:33,137 Speaker 1: mental health. We're the ones who actually care about kids 633 00:34:33,337 --> 00:34:35,857 Speaker 1: and see them going through this, and not only when 634 00:34:35,857 --> 00:34:38,177 Speaker 1: they're lonely and locked up at home, but then they 635 00:34:38,217 --> 00:34:40,257 Speaker 1: go back to school. They're wearing masks, they can't even 636 00:34:40,297 --> 00:34:42,737 Speaker 1: see each other, and so we're the ones that actually 637 00:34:42,777 --> 00:34:44,937 Speaker 1: care about, you know, where these kids end up going 638 00:34:44,937 --> 00:34:47,977 Speaker 1: in life, not only academically, but just as human beings. 639 00:34:49,017 --> 00:34:52,417 Speaker 1: Here's a chart of the behaviors that are being observed 640 00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:56,977 Speaker 1: now that parents, teachers, everyone is obviously so concerned about 641 00:34:57,017 --> 00:35:00,257 Speaker 1: and should be. Eighty six percent of kids are having 642 00:35:00,257 --> 00:35:03,817 Speaker 1: trouble focusing on class work, seventy two percent breaking classroom rules, 643 00:35:03,857 --> 00:35:07,977 Speaker 1: sixty nine percent having trouble with time management skills, fifty 644 00:35:07,977 --> 00:35:11,297 Speaker 1: eight percent having trouble collaborating with p and fifty two 645 00:35:11,657 --> 00:35:14,937 Speaker 1: skipping class. I mean, this is this is devastating. These 646 00:35:14,937 --> 00:35:20,417 Speaker 1: are all dramatic increases, Danielle, that correspond specifically with the 647 00:35:20,497 --> 00:35:23,177 Speaker 1: period not only at school lockdowns, but just of the 648 00:35:23,337 --> 00:35:29,537 Speaker 1: general politicization of COVID treatment of children with mandatory mask 649 00:35:29,657 --> 00:35:33,217 Speaker 1: wearing social distancing. I mean, I'm sure you've seen some 650 00:35:33,217 --> 00:35:37,377 Speaker 1: of the videos, Danielle. They put kids in band in 651 00:35:37,497 --> 00:35:42,617 Speaker 1: band class in school in like plastic actual bubbles. They 652 00:35:42,657 --> 00:35:45,257 Speaker 1: had some people who who had holes in their masks 653 00:35:45,257 --> 00:35:47,497 Speaker 1: so they could play the clarinet, as if that was 654 00:35:47,497 --> 00:35:52,177 Speaker 1: going to keep them safe, right, And I've even heard 655 00:35:52,177 --> 00:35:54,937 Speaker 1: stories about you know, a little boys on a basketball 656 00:35:54,977 --> 00:35:58,057 Speaker 1: team and the mom of him, you know, tells the kids, hey, 657 00:35:58,097 --> 00:36:00,017 Speaker 1: make sure you tattle on one of the other little 658 00:36:00,017 --> 00:36:02,177 Speaker 1: boys of his mask goes below his nose, make sure 659 00:36:02,217 --> 00:36:04,537 Speaker 1: you turn him in. So, in other words, turning them 660 00:36:04,537 --> 00:36:07,937 Speaker 1: into kind of these little like socialist goolog enforcers where 661 00:36:07,937 --> 00:36:10,617 Speaker 1: they're basically turning on each other and you know, you're 662 00:36:10,657 --> 00:36:13,097 Speaker 1: afraid because your friend's going to tell on you things 663 00:36:13,097 --> 00:36:15,897 Speaker 1: like that. So they're not only sowing this culture of loneliness, 664 00:36:15,937 --> 00:36:19,297 Speaker 1: but this culture of resentment, of basically making them into 665 00:36:19,297 --> 00:36:22,137 Speaker 1: these little political bonds. And it's really sad. I mean, 666 00:36:22,217 --> 00:36:24,457 Speaker 1: not only are they not learning, but they're not even 667 00:36:24,577 --> 00:36:27,017 Speaker 1: learning teamwork. They're not learning how to actually play on 668 00:36:27,057 --> 00:36:29,657 Speaker 1: a team. Not just one example, but it's really just 669 00:36:29,697 --> 00:36:33,417 Speaker 1: so sad and disgusting. I mean, the emotional health chart 670 00:36:33,497 --> 00:36:36,737 Speaker 1: the data is showing and again these lockdowns did not 671 00:36:36,817 --> 00:36:39,457 Speaker 1: keep kids safe. They were never necessary. There was no 672 00:36:39,817 --> 00:36:41,977 Speaker 1: positive trade off from this at all. That's what we 673 00:36:42,017 --> 00:36:46,137 Speaker 1: also know now ninety four percent showing signs of anxiety 674 00:36:46,177 --> 00:36:49,377 Speaker 1: or depression, eighty eight percent having trouble with emotional regulation, 675 00:36:50,057 --> 00:36:53,217 Speaker 1: and sixty seven percent showing signs of low self esteem. 676 00:36:53,417 --> 00:36:57,017 Speaker 1: By the way, a social skills chart also looking really 677 00:36:57,097 --> 00:37:00,657 Speaker 1: rough for children, seventy three percent having trouble solving conflict 678 00:37:00,657 --> 00:37:03,217 Speaker 1: with friends, fifty nine percent having trouble making new friends, 679 00:37:03,257 --> 00:37:05,897 Speaker 1: fifty one percent harassing peers online, and then a lot 680 00:37:05,897 --> 00:37:09,177 Speaker 1: of fighting as well. I mean, this was all many 681 00:37:09,177 --> 00:37:11,297 Speaker 1: of us predicted this. I was gonna say, it's predictable. 682 00:37:11,337 --> 00:37:14,857 Speaker 1: We said you're going to devastate children, and Democrats push 683 00:37:14,897 --> 00:37:17,217 Speaker 1: for all this stuff, and I guess now we're supposed 684 00:37:17,217 --> 00:37:19,057 Speaker 1: to forget they were wrong about everything and they really 685 00:37:19,137 --> 00:37:23,537 Speaker 1: hurt millions and millions of kids. Yeah, well you mentioned, 686 00:37:23,537 --> 00:37:27,217 Speaker 1: you know, harassing people online, things like that, and you know, honestly, 687 00:37:27,257 --> 00:37:30,217 Speaker 1: that's what their kind of role models do. That's what 688 00:37:30,297 --> 00:37:33,217 Speaker 1: AOC does. That's what the squad does. They basically make 689 00:37:33,297 --> 00:37:36,217 Speaker 1: these videos, they go on Twitter kind of just complaining 690 00:37:36,257 --> 00:37:38,217 Speaker 1: about things, and then they get all of the children, 691 00:37:38,297 --> 00:37:39,977 Speaker 1: or should I say not even the children. It's their 692 00:37:40,017 --> 00:37:43,217 Speaker 1: woke teachers to march with them to do these climate 693 00:37:43,217 --> 00:37:46,137 Speaker 1: activists things. Of course, for those they're fine to gather. 694 00:37:46,297 --> 00:37:48,217 Speaker 1: They don't have to do any social distancing for those 695 00:37:48,297 --> 00:37:50,977 Speaker 1: kinds of things. But that is basically this, you know, 696 00:37:51,097 --> 00:37:53,337 Speaker 1: this youth culture. They're trying to create, to turn them 697 00:37:53,337 --> 00:37:55,657 Speaker 1: into activists, to make it so that their feelings are 698 00:37:55,737 --> 00:37:58,777 Speaker 1: hurt whenever possible. And if they're at home, if they're 699 00:37:58,817 --> 00:38:01,457 Speaker 1: not even around other kids, then all they're hearing are 700 00:38:01,497 --> 00:38:03,497 Speaker 1: things that are coming from their woke teachers. And I 701 00:38:03,497 --> 00:38:06,297 Speaker 1: think that's what has caused so many parents to start seeing, 702 00:38:06,337 --> 00:38:08,417 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, is this what my child is learning? 703 00:38:08,417 --> 00:38:11,777 Speaker 1: Because they're seeing it on zoom, they're seeing online and 704 00:38:11,937 --> 00:38:14,897 Speaker 1: it is literally led to parents saying this is horrible. 705 00:38:14,937 --> 00:38:16,657 Speaker 1: They need to go back to school. But also what 706 00:38:16,737 --> 00:38:19,897 Speaker 1: are the teachers teaching them? By the way, switching gears 707 00:38:19,897 --> 00:38:21,457 Speaker 1: here for a second, eighty l seventy percent of the 708 00:38:21,537 --> 00:38:24,697 Speaker 1: nation's baby formula supply was out of stock over the weekend, 709 00:38:25,177 --> 00:38:27,577 Speaker 1: and this past weekend, desperate parents in Michigan waited in 710 00:38:27,577 --> 00:38:29,577 Speaker 1: a mile long line, and many of them at the 711 00:38:29,697 --> 00:38:32,097 Speaker 1: end of waiting were turned away empty handed. Here's what 712 00:38:32,217 --> 00:38:36,457 Speaker 1: Biden saying about Operation Fly formulas of last week. I 713 00:38:36,537 --> 00:38:39,137 Speaker 1: know parents all across the country you're worried about finding 714 00:38:39,257 --> 00:38:43,337 Speaker 1: enough infant formula to feed their babies. Today, I'm invoking 715 00:38:43,337 --> 00:38:46,297 Speaker 1: what they're called the Defense Production Act to ensure that 716 00:38:46,377 --> 00:38:50,817 Speaker 1: manufacturers have the necessary ingredients to make safe, healthy infant 717 00:38:50,857 --> 00:38:55,617 Speaker 1: formula here at home. And I'm also announcing Operation Fly Formula. 718 00:38:55,777 --> 00:38:58,017 Speaker 1: Be'st to be able to speed up the import of 719 00:38:58,057 --> 00:39:01,777 Speaker 1: infant formula and start getting more formulate in stores as 720 00:39:01,817 --> 00:39:05,257 Speaker 1: soon as possible. I've directed the Department of Defense and 721 00:39:05,457 --> 00:39:08,457 Speaker 1: the Department of Health and Human Services to send aircraft 722 00:39:08,497 --> 00:39:12,817 Speaker 1: planes overseas to pick up infant formula that meets US 723 00:39:12,937 --> 00:39:15,497 Speaker 1: health and safety standards so we can get it on 724 00:39:15,497 --> 00:39:19,337 Speaker 1: a store shelves faster, too, A little too late, Danielle, 725 00:39:19,377 --> 00:39:22,657 Speaker 1: what do you say, Oh my goodness, Well, they have 726 00:39:22,777 --> 00:39:26,737 Speaker 1: literally sent forty billion dollars to Ukraine. Meanwhile there is 727 00:39:26,817 --> 00:39:28,937 Speaker 1: no baby formula on the shelves. So what does that 728 00:39:29,017 --> 00:39:32,737 Speaker 1: tell us? Not only is the Biden administration incompetent, but 729 00:39:32,857 --> 00:39:37,337 Speaker 1: literally our politicians have sheer indifference towards American families and 730 00:39:37,377 --> 00:39:40,697 Speaker 1: American babies who are starving. So this is literally a 731 00:39:40,777 --> 00:39:42,737 Speaker 1: vision out of a third world country. You see people 732 00:39:42,817 --> 00:39:45,697 Speaker 1: lining up outside they cannot get basic things that they need. 733 00:39:45,857 --> 00:39:47,577 Speaker 1: This is a first world country and they should be 734 00:39:47,617 --> 00:39:51,857 Speaker 1: able to have baby formula. We think so, Danielle, thanks 735 00:39:51,857 --> 00:39:53,377 Speaker 1: for being with us. I always going to see you 736 00:39:54,577 --> 00:40:00,057 Speaker 1: thank you. Transgendero swimmer Leah Thomas is speaking out and 737 00:40:00,177 --> 00:40:03,577 Speaker 1: gave a strange reason as to why he pardon me, 738 00:40:03,777 --> 00:40:06,377 Speaker 1: continues to dominate the competition. We'll have the video for 739 00:40:06,417 --> 00:40:15,497 Speaker 1: you and quick hits, stay with us. Transgender swimmer Leah 740 00:40:15,497 --> 00:40:19,777 Speaker 1: Thomas offers an explanation as to how Thomas dominates the 741 00:40:19,777 --> 00:40:22,577 Speaker 1: competition and a jury hands down the verdict in the 742 00:40:22,617 --> 00:40:26,497 Speaker 1: case of Clinton lawyer Michael Sussman didn't go as we 743 00:40:26,537 --> 00:40:28,497 Speaker 1: would have hoped. Folks, we got those stories in quick kids. 744 00:40:28,577 --> 00:40:32,017 Speaker 1: Let's go. First of all, Leah Thomas biological male swimming 745 00:40:32,217 --> 00:40:35,577 Speaker 1: in the NCAA Championships against females and one which is 746 00:40:35,577 --> 00:40:38,617 Speaker 1: a surprise to nobody because we all know that biological 747 00:40:38,657 --> 00:40:41,537 Speaker 1: male would have a huge advantage over women. Leah Thomas 748 00:40:41,617 --> 00:40:45,257 Speaker 1: is not a woman. Leah Thomas was formerly a different 749 00:40:45,337 --> 00:40:48,977 Speaker 1: name and has now said that this individual has transitioned 750 00:40:49,017 --> 00:40:53,017 Speaker 1: to being a female. That is not possible and it 751 00:40:53,097 --> 00:40:55,417 Speaker 1: is not true and she should not be or he 752 00:40:55,457 --> 00:40:59,417 Speaker 1: should not be swimming against actual women. It's unfair, we 753 00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:02,617 Speaker 1: all know it, but Leah Thomas doesn't care. Watch There's 754 00:41:02,657 --> 00:41:06,417 Speaker 1: a lot of factors that go into a race and 755 00:41:06,737 --> 00:41:11,617 Speaker 1: how well you do. And the biggest change for me 756 00:41:11,817 --> 00:41:16,897 Speaker 1: is that I'm happy. And sophomore year I had my 757 00:41:16,937 --> 00:41:20,937 Speaker 1: best times competing with the men. I was miserable, and 758 00:41:21,017 --> 00:41:27,257 Speaker 1: so having that belifted is incredibly relieving and allows me 759 00:41:27,337 --> 00:41:34,257 Speaker 1: to put my all into training, into racing. Yeah. So 760 00:41:34,417 --> 00:41:39,657 Speaker 1: this individual claims happiness, and therefore the destruction of women's 761 00:41:39,657 --> 00:41:41,657 Speaker 1: sports as we know it, which is happening before our 762 00:41:41,697 --> 00:41:46,257 Speaker 1: very eyes, doesn't matter because because Leah Thomas is happy. Now. Oh, okay, 763 00:41:46,417 --> 00:41:50,817 Speaker 1: I guess the unfairness of this, the biological unreality of 764 00:41:50,857 --> 00:41:55,817 Speaker 1: this is somehow supposed to be irrelevant. Okay. So the 765 00:41:55,977 --> 00:42:00,177 Speaker 1: Clinton campaign created the Russia collusion hoax against Donald Trump. 766 00:42:00,217 --> 00:42:03,297 Speaker 1: We've known that for years now, but the Durham probe 767 00:42:03,417 --> 00:42:07,897 Speaker 1: has tried to get even more answers here. And Michael Sassman, 768 00:42:07,937 --> 00:42:12,137 Speaker 1: who's a lawyer, was charged with line to the FBI 769 00:42:12,177 --> 00:42:14,977 Speaker 1: about representing the Hillary Clinton campaign when he was pushing 770 00:42:15,497 --> 00:42:20,257 Speaker 1: the Russia collusion lie to the FBI. He was doing it, 771 00:42:20,257 --> 00:42:22,937 Speaker 1: of course, on behalf of the Clinton campaign. But a 772 00:42:23,097 --> 00:42:26,457 Speaker 1: DC jury, a bunch of NPR listening libs, of course, 773 00:42:26,497 --> 00:42:29,337 Speaker 1: I'm sure DC jury found him not guilty. Here you go, 774 00:42:29,417 --> 00:42:32,777 Speaker 1: Democratic lawyer Michael Sussman found not guilty Tuesday on the 775 00:42:32,777 --> 00:42:36,497 Speaker 1: fall Statements charge of concealing his representation of Hillary Clinton's 776 00:42:36,497 --> 00:42:40,137 Speaker 1: presidential campaign from the FBI while he pushed since debunked 777 00:42:40,137 --> 00:42:45,137 Speaker 1: Trush Russia Trump Russia claims to the Bureau in twenty sixteen. 778 00:42:46,897 --> 00:42:49,697 Speaker 1: So yeah, he got away with it, folks, got away 779 00:42:49,697 --> 00:42:52,497 Speaker 1: with it. Found not guilty. There you go. Whatever he 780 00:42:52,497 --> 00:42:56,057 Speaker 1: was doing there for the Clinton campaign worked for them. 781 00:42:56,137 --> 00:42:57,377 Speaker 1: What do you think the lessons? Do you think they 782 00:42:57,377 --> 00:42:59,737 Speaker 1: won't ever do this again? Kidding met, Hillary's trying to 783 00:42:59,737 --> 00:43:01,537 Speaker 1: figure out how she could do this again the next election, 784 00:43:01,537 --> 00:43:03,057 Speaker 1: which she still wants to run him. By the way 785 00:43:03,617 --> 00:43:09,097 Speaker 1: over at CNN, occasionally the truth kind of just seeps 786 00:43:09,097 --> 00:43:11,577 Speaker 1: out by accident. Here's the CNN guests admitting the high 787 00:43:11,577 --> 00:43:15,417 Speaker 1: gas prices are caused by less US gas production. Wow. Watch, 788 00:43:15,897 --> 00:43:18,417 Speaker 1: road trips are going to be way more expensive this summer. 789 00:43:18,457 --> 00:43:20,977 Speaker 1: We now have nine states where the average is four 790 00:43:21,337 --> 00:43:24,297 Speaker 1: dollars and ninety cents a gallon or higher, the latest 791 00:43:24,337 --> 00:43:28,057 Speaker 1: being Arizona, Illinois and New York. California now stands at 792 00:43:28,177 --> 00:43:31,777 Speaker 1: six fifteen a gallon. As Pete mentioned, the national average 793 00:43:31,897 --> 00:43:34,337 Speaker 1: four sixty two a gallon. That's up forty four cents 794 00:43:34,337 --> 00:43:36,497 Speaker 1: from a month ago. The problem is that supply just 795 00:43:36,577 --> 00:43:39,657 Speaker 1: cannot keep up with really strong demand as people travel more. 796 00:43:39,857 --> 00:43:41,737 Speaker 1: The US is not producing as much as it used to, 797 00:43:42,137 --> 00:43:44,897 Speaker 1: neither is OPEC, and so prices have nowhere to go 798 00:43:45,017 --> 00:43:51,537 Speaker 1: but up. Yes, indeed, and then there was this a 799 00:43:52,377 --> 00:43:56,537 Speaker 1: climate change lunatic. Of course, there's so many of them, 800 00:43:56,577 --> 00:43:58,657 Speaker 1: because it's a religious belief for people who are too 801 00:43:58,857 --> 00:44:00,417 Speaker 1: in their own minds. I think they're too smart for 802 00:44:00,457 --> 00:44:05,537 Speaker 1: actual religion. Smear the mona Lisa to product protest climate change. Now. 803 00:44:05,537 --> 00:44:08,217 Speaker 1: I know people would say, Buck, you shouldn't show this because, 804 00:44:08,377 --> 00:44:12,217 Speaker 1: first of all, you know, this guy's obviously a lunatic. 805 00:44:12,337 --> 00:44:14,417 Speaker 1: But he shouldn't show this because he wants the attention. No, 806 00:44:14,497 --> 00:44:17,937 Speaker 1: The point is, climate change activists are basically all different 807 00:44:17,937 --> 00:44:20,377 Speaker 1: degrees of crazy. These people believe the Earth is going 808 00:44:20,417 --> 00:44:23,017 Speaker 1: to melt unless we have some total government control of CEO. Two. 809 00:44:23,017 --> 00:44:25,977 Speaker 1: Imagine it's never gonna happen. All these programs and policies 810 00:44:26,017 --> 00:44:28,497 Speaker 1: they talk about, it's never gonna happen. They're wrong. I'm right. 811 00:44:28,537 --> 00:44:30,217 Speaker 1: I mean, we all know this, right, We'll come back 812 00:44:30,217 --> 00:44:31,737 Speaker 1: in ten years and we're gonna see. Oh, it turns 813 00:44:31,737 --> 00:44:33,537 Speaker 1: out that Buck guy everything eats up is true, just 814 00:44:33,537 --> 00:44:36,297 Speaker 1: like with COVID by the way, but they're lunatics, and 815 00:44:36,337 --> 00:44:37,577 Speaker 1: so we have to show that they're even going to 816 00:44:37,617 --> 00:44:39,737 Speaker 1: destroy the most famous painting in the world if they could, 817 00:44:39,737 --> 00:44:41,777 Speaker 1: which fortunately they weren't able too, because it's in a 818 00:44:41,817 --> 00:44:45,977 Speaker 1: protective case to get attention for their idiotic cause. Yeah, 819 00:44:46,457 --> 00:44:48,217 Speaker 1: that's different. The Nights hold the line the nose Spin 820 00:44:48,217 --> 00:45:07,137 Speaker 1: News with a Bill O'Reilly is next. Shields High.
