1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. The second hour of Plan Bucks starts 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: right now, and we have been discussing on the show 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: pretty much daily last couple of weeks the prospect of 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: a Trump indictment by. 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 2: This Special Council. 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 1: Jack Smith, let me say this is one of those 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: times where I hope all of the reporting from the 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: Democrat media is wish casting. I hope that their whole 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: mentality of the walls are closing in and the obsession 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,959 Speaker 1: they have with anything to get Trump is justified. At 12 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: any moment. Now they will finally get what they've wanted 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: for years, which is Trump to be branded a criminal 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: and even to spend time in a prison cell. That 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: is what the Democrat base wants. That is not a 16 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: fringe belief among Demos. That is what they want to happen. 17 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: And I think we have to take all of this 18 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: seriously just because one they've already indicted the Republican front 19 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: runner in New York City. Now that one I've said 20 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,279 Speaker 1: this all along, I think my analysis is looking even 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: more prescient, maybe than when I first said it. I 22 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: think the New York indictment was the break in the 23 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: dam for what was going to come later. There's no 24 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: downside for Alvin Bragg in New York City to bring 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: this criminal charge against Trump. There's downside for the rule 26 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: of law. There's downside for New Yorkers who think to themselves, 27 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: can Republicans get a fair trial in this town? 28 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: Is that really a thing? 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: Now? 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: Are we not just a one party state politically? But 31 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: from a law and order judicial system criminal justice perspective? 32 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: Is New York City a place where you cannot go 33 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: a fair trial as a Republican? I think, you know, 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: unless maybe you're in like local court in Staten Island. 35 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: I think the answer is, yeah, you can't get a 36 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: fair trial, certainly if you're a Republican politician. Not with 37 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg calling the shots. So that was the first 38 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: prosecution as we know, that still to be decided. I 39 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: think that the case, the trial is set for what 40 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: is it next March? 41 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 4: Oh? 42 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,119 Speaker 2: You mean right? 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: And the absolute thick of the Republican primary. It's a 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: criminal trial. Trump's going to have to show up. This 45 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: isn't a civil trial. You can't have this in absentia. 46 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: You know the lawyers will handle it. It's a criminal trial. 47 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: As absurd as it is, that process is going to 48 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: go through. The process is the punishment. Don't ever forget it. 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Democrats live by that maxim But now we have the 50 00:02:53,840 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: latest on the possible federal charges against Donald Trump. Now, 51 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: if you remember Andrew Weisman. Andrew Weisman, just as a 52 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: quick review was they called him Muller's pit pull. He 53 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: was the guy who was really running the first Special 54 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Council investigation of Donald Trump under when when Trump was president, 55 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: the so called Muller probe. And then we had that 56 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: moment where they'd all said, oh, Muller, you know, Muller 57 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: is an FBI director and a former marine and as 58 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: an Americans as anybody could, you know, as much an 59 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: American patriot as anybody could ever be, and he'll do 60 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: what's right. And then we saw him up there and 61 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: he's like, well, you know, I don't really know what 62 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: you know, the stuff and the things and they're going 63 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: after you know, I don't know. 64 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 2: And it it was really shocked. 65 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that when they had Muller finally being 66 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 1: asked questions by Congress, and everyone goes, this guy should. 67 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: Have been retired many years ago. 68 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: Why did They do that because Weissman is a Democrat 69 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: attack guy and we all know it. So they had 70 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: to have Muller as the figurehead, Weissman as the guy 71 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: who was really trying to and the Trump presidency. He 72 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: was hoping to get a special counsel under Muller that 73 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: would have put forward charges, a recommendation of charges that 74 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: even if the DOJ, which you know it's Trump's DOJ, 75 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: had not acted on, would have been the basis for 76 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: an impeachment and removal proceeding in the Congress. 77 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: That was the hope. Obviously that didn't happen. 78 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: But so Weissman is here saying it is clear, and 79 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: I want to tell you what the reporting is on 80 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: this week, and see, just because he's a partisan hack 81 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that everything he says is untrue. Even the 82 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: most aggressive propagandists will tell you all throughout history. You 83 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: have to have some truth. You can't just lie all 84 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: the time. There has to be some baseline truth. And 85 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: I think the baseline truth here for Weisman is charges 86 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: against Trump, based on where things are in the process 87 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: are likely. And I'm not talking about six months from now. 88 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: These charges could come down next week. That's what most 89 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: people are saying here he is play eight. 90 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 4: It is legally permissible and possible to tell someone they 91 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 4: are target, to issue a target letter, and for them 92 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: eventually not to be charged. But I think when you're 93 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 4: talking about the forum president, this is something that is 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 4: complying sort of with a pro former DJ rule and 95 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 4: is just something that happens before you charge. And I 96 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 4: think in any ways, it's not news. Everyone's known, including 97 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 4: the defense camp, that Donald Trump has been the target 98 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 4: of this investigation for quite some time. This is really 99 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 4: a formality, and I think there's no question that he 100 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 4: is going to get charged. I think it's just a 101 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 4: question now when and if it's going to be in 102 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 4: Florida or DC. 103 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: Now they have a grand jury in Miami. This was 104 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: reported earlier this week, so as I'm talking to you here, 105 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: not far from where I am, they have a grand 106 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: jury that has been meeting in secret as they do, 107 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: and there have been senior Trump aids, a former Trump 108 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: spokesman and others have been called to testify in front 109 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: of that grand jury in Miami. Here in Florida, so 110 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: it could be DC, it could be Florida where the 111 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: charges are officially and where the trial ends up being held. 112 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: But the point that he makes that I think we 113 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: have to look at seriously is everybody knows why is 114 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: it a special council because it involves Trump, Right, That's 115 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: how this whole thing came together. So of course he's 116 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: the target of the inquiry. Why is do oj informing 117 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: officially reported on here in the New York Times, It's 118 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: all over the place. Why are they reporting on this step? 119 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: Because I do think that this is just going through 120 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: the motions before they're going to put charges officially against Trump, 121 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: that he's going to be indicted. So what they're really 122 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: saying here this is from the New York Times piece 123 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: and this in court papers. Last year, prosecutors indicated that 124 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: they were scrutinizing whether mister Trump had broken laws governing 125 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: the handling of national security documents and whether he had 126 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: obstructed government efforts to retrieve them. Mister Trump was found 127 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: to have added more than three hundred documents with classified 128 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: markets at mar A Lago, his private club and residence, 129 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: including some found in a search there by FBI agents 130 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: two months after lawyers for the president said a diligent 131 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: search had not turned. 132 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 2: Up any more. 133 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: Now here's where this is going to be a big fight. 134 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: Are the documents classified? If Trump says they're not. It's 135 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: not actually an easy question for the Democrats who want 136 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: to take him down to answer. Not by the letter 137 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: of the law, he was the president of the United States. 138 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: If he says that he took these documents because he 139 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: declassified them, there's some process, but it's not codified process. 140 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: It's if the president. Let me give you what I mean. 141 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: We used to call it when I was the CIA. 142 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: We called it when a president goes on TV. It's 143 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: real time declassification. So if Obama went on TV, for example, 144 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: and he did in different capacities and say, yeah, there 145 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: are drone strikes we're doing in Pakistan. Whoa hold on 146 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: a second, Wait, we don't talk about that. Oh well, 147 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: he's the president. So he says it, and guess what 148 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: he's allowed to That is now real time declassification, something 149 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: that you know, lower level government employees would never be 150 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: able to talk about. 151 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: So that's just the decision of the commander in chief. 152 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: So with them, and they're gonna I know, all the 153 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: Democrats and all the lawyers that hate Trump are gonna 154 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: be oh my gosh. But you know, there has to 155 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: be a there has to be this thing where he 156 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: asked the community, and that's generally how they do it, 157 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: but that's not always how it's done. And since it's 158 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: not always how it's done, the reality here, you could 159 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: say the presidential custom has to be taken into account. 160 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: So what they're if the documents are not in fact classified, 161 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: meaning that Trump has declassified, this is going to be 162 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: at the heart of the dispute. 163 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: What are we even talking about now? 164 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: What they're going to say is that he that him 165 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: and his people knew they had documents that were still 166 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: rightly classified, that they lied about having those documents, and 167 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: that's where the obstruction comes in. They also may try 168 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: to hit him with a mishandling national defense information charge 169 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: here now we will see here we are Trump, by 170 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: the way, responding on truth Social Now. This was in 171 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: response to him being told he was going to be indicted. 172 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: Reports were all out on that yesterday. Trump responded, no 173 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: one has told me I'm being indicted, and I shouldn't 174 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: be because I've done nothing wrong. But I have assumed 175 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: for years that I am a target of the weaponized 176 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: DOJ and FBI. Well, he definitely is a target of 177 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: the weaponized dj and FBI, so we know that. I 178 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: don't think they're going to go through all of this. 179 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to go through this whole 180 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: process and not bring charges. I don't think the Democrat 181 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: apparatus could allow that, right, think about this from their 182 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: side of the chessboard. They're going to have another special council, 183 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: another special council meant to get Trump, and this one's 184 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: also not gonna recommend charges at the end. 185 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: What a in an election year? What are the chances 186 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: of that? Right? 187 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: Think about it from the perspective of Democrat deviousness, Think 188 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: about how they're trying to play this out, and I 189 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: think you get to a much more likely place. So 190 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: it's stunning that this is where we are. It's upsetting 191 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: because for the country, this is such a this is 192 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: such an abuse of the public trust. Would they be 193 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: bringing these charges against Donald Trump if he wasn't running? 194 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: Now? 195 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: They do hate him a lot, so it's possible that 196 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: the answer is yes, But I think most likely no. 197 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: I think they view this as an opportunity to stop 198 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: him while he's running. And think about the way this 199 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: would be such a flexing of muscles for the Democrat machinery. 200 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: Not only will they be saying we'll turn the DOJ 201 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: against you, will even do it in an election, seir 202 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: for your presidential front runner. Oh oh, what message does 203 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: that send to all the rest of us? If you 204 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: think that they wouldn't do this to anybody else, I 205 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: think you know you're not paying attention, right, We all 206 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: know this. Their belief is that by by taking Donald 207 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: Trump and prosecuting him while he's running for president, the 208 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: chilling effect on everybody else on the right, on all 209 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: conservatives is, see, we control this system. You think these 210 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: elections matter will get you no matter who you are, 211 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: We'll get you, even if you're a former president, if 212 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: you stand in our way, and if you threaten the system, 213 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: Is that the message that is going to be received? 214 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: Is it going out? I am sitting here, I pray 215 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: for the country that we do not have to go 216 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: through this. That the Democrats, maybe just for their own 217 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: selfish reasons, they think, oh wait, but if we do that, 218 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: maybe it'll rally everybody behind everybody behind Trump, and maybe 219 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, then Trump will actually be in an even 220 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: stronger position to beat Biden. So it hasn't happened yet, 221 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: But I think psychologically the right has to prepare for this. 222 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: And what are we going to do about it? 223 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: One thing that I haven't heard from any but even 224 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: the most the most ardent of all of the people 225 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: who are in Trump's circling around him and the people 226 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: that are all in on voting for him as their 227 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: candidate in this primary, what is the response going to be? Yeah, 228 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: I'll fight it, I know that, but fighting it while 229 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: he's running that itself is unfair, right, So what are 230 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: we going to do? I haven't heard a good answer. 231 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: I don't have the answer yet, but maybe that's small chance. 232 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: This doesn't come to pass. I think it will. I 233 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 2: think it will. 234 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: I think the country has to get ready for it, 235 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: because this takes us into uncharted territory in a really 236 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: unsettling way.

They'll be back on Monday. 262 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: I have told him he is under orders to get 263 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: the first professional massage of his life. We will see 264 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: if he goes for it. He's at a very nice 265 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: bed and breakfast and spa situation. A lot of news 266 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: going on right now, a lot of things happening. We 267 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: have Governor Ronda Santis of Florida has spoken out on 268 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: the migrant flights that have landed in Sacramento, California. Gavin Newsom, 269 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: if you remember, was saying this might be kidnapping, which 270 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: is completely idiotic. But then again, Gavin Newsom said it, 271 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: so none of this is surprising. FBI Director Ray has 272 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: caved to the House Oversight Committee request to see the 273 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: document that has to do with the allegation of a 274 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: five million dollar bribe scheme to Joe Biden when he 275 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: was vice president. We had Congressman Annapolina Luna on yesterday 276 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: all on this very issue, and today the news is 277 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: Ray has said, fine, fine, you get to see the 278 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: informant report from within the FBI, someone who was we're told, 279 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: very credible based on what has been released in the past, 280 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: what his FBI interactions have been, will discuss some of that. 281 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: You've got, oh boy, some back and forth over whether 282 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: Trump is imminently. 283 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 2: Going to be charged. 284 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: I can tell you that there were stories up yesterday 285 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: that had claimed even that Mark Meadows was working This 286 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: is from the Dependent, which is a UK publication that 287 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows had flipped. The Meadows camp has said that 288 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: is not true at all. 289 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: So there's conflicting. 290 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,959 Speaker 1: Reporting about This is what I'm getting at with all 291 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: of you. Whether or not there will be a prosecution 292 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: of Trump imminently, meaning in the next few days. This 293 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: would be a federal prosecution, different from what we've seen 294 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: in New York City. Trump has been told there are 295 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: many reports that he has been told that he is 296 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: a target of the investigation that Jack Smith is running 297 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: as a special council. Another special council against Trump. We're 298 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: going to have to talk about this, not the first one. 299 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: There's a special council while he's president. Now there's a 300 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: special council looking at January sixth and the documents that 301 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: covers Trump partially when he was president and now while 302 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: running for president. This is show damaging but will for 303 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: the Republic. I think the obvious political bias here of 304 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: the targeting is a parent for all the sea. 305 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that as well. 306 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: And to start ups off today, I wanted to because 307 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: we had a number of calls yesterday. Some we're able 308 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: to get to you, others just coming in with a 309 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: lot of people sharing their views on Mike Pence generally 310 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: and more specifically Pence running for president. Right now, there 311 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: is some polling out, some early polling for Iowa. Now 312 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: it's just Iowa that I'm looking at here, and I 313 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: know it's super early, and you know, you can take 314 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: this for what it's worth. There was a Wall Street 315 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: Journal call row of editorial. 316 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 2: I read everything, so I read these things. There was 317 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: a Wall Street Journal call row of editorial. 318 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: Looking at how in the past these numbers that we're 319 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: looking at here today with other candidates have changed dramatically. Essentially, 320 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: somebody could be at five percent today and all of 321 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: a sudden rock it up and even win or come 322 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: close to winning. 323 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: In Iowa. You look at the. 324 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: Numbers for Ted Cruz very early on, and then he 325 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: went on to win eye. 326 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: We look at the numbers for. 327 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: A whole range of different candidates, and they improved dramatically 328 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: over a pretty short period of time. So here's where 329 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: we are today. Here's the numbers as we can we 330 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: can see them. Trump is at thirty nine percent for Iowa. 331 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: DeSantis is at twenty nine percent. Now, the news story 332 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: that was getting some attention here is that the shift. 333 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: Is just in this poll the shift is. 334 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: Down nine for Trump, up five for De Santas in 335 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: one state, in the Iowa coxes that's it. But Senator 336 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: Scott is at seven percent, Hailey is at six percent, 337 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: and Pence is at four and Ramaswami is at four. 338 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: I gotta say, Vivek, probably it's got to think very 339 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: well of being tied with the former vice president of 340 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: the United States in the polls right now, and the 341 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: head to head, the head head polling has Trump at 342 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: forty five in Iowa, DeSantis at forty three in Iowa. Okay, 343 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: that's just that's just a snapshot of perception many months 344 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: before Iowa actually happens. Let's take a look at what 345 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: Mike Pence is saying for a moment. I think yesterday 346 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: there was certainly a willingness for many of the people 347 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 1: writing in and calling in to say they respect Mike Pence, 348 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: they like him, a lot of you like him. Do 349 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: you think he's going to be president? No, didn't really 350 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: get that sense. I didn't really hear from anybody. Now 351 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: you disagree, our lines are open eight hundred two two 352 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: two eight a two, and we are trying to reach 353 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: out to Mike Pence. We're trying to get him to 354 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: come on the show, so hopefully we'll get him the 355 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. We already have Nicki Haley coming 356 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 1: on on Tuesday. I've told the team in response to 357 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: many of your requests, people have said, well, what do 358 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: you think of RFK? I said, I've I've got to 359 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: talk to him myself. Let me talk to him, let 360 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: me ask him some questions. We're gonna reach out to 361 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: RFK Junior again. We're gonna have we'll have to have 362 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: the VEC back on in the weeks ahead of but 363 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna get everybody in the mix here, gonna you're 364 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: gonna get to hear from everyone. I think we do 365 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: have Chris Christy coming on, or we should have Chris. 366 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: Christi coming on. 367 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean, even though if you saw what he's done 368 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: so far, he is he's just going all in against Trump. 369 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: That is what Chris Christie is doing. Now, does he 370 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: get the numbers to get on that debate stage in 371 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: terms of donations, in terms of the popular support the 372 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: votes that he needs, We'll see. But he's a big 373 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: enough name with big enough numbers. I'm gonna have Asa 374 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: Hutchinson on probably not. I mean, I think we do 375 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: have to set some kind of a cap. I think, oh, 376 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: if a team just told me we've reached out to 377 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: Christie's team several times, no response, which to me says, 378 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you're not going to come on 379 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: this show and I don't know, has he let me 380 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: know team? Has he gone on Shawn's radio show, for example, 381 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: or Glenn's radio show. I mean, if you're not going 382 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: to go on those shows, you're not really running for 383 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: Republican You're not really running as a Republican president. I 384 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: mean that's my opinion. But you know, if you're not 385 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: going to go on the biggest talk radio programs in 386 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: the country as a Republican, I don't think it's fair 387 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: to say that you really. 388 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: So maybe he's just running. 389 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: This this mission to destroy Trump and that's all it is. 390 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: We'll see. 391 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: But Pence, this was interesting we had discussed here on 392 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: the show because I think the January sixth opinion of 393 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: these different candidates gives you some insight into how they 394 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: view themselves, well visa VI Trump certainly, but also how 395 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: much do they really view how much do they understand 396 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: what we're up against here with the usage of the 397 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: justice system as a weapon of politics. I thought this 398 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: was a moment for Mike Pence. 399 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: It's going to be very difficult for me. 400 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: If he comes in the show, We're gonna have to 401 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: ask him about this is you know, we asked Ron 402 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: DeSantis about pardons on this show when he came on. 403 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: If he were to be president, Trump has said that 404 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: there will be pardons for January for some January sixth defendants. 405 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis has says he would certainly consider very specific 406 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: language pardons for January sixth defendants, and if Trump were 407 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: to be indicted and convicted some ifs there, he would 408 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: also consider it for him. Here is what Mike Pence 409 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: said when he was asked. I think this was what 410 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: his CNN town hall guys that right his CNN town hall. 411 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: We've got a couple of clips of him saying talking 412 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: about the January sixth pardon issue. 413 00:23:59,400 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 2: Play two. 414 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 3: You know, on the day of January sixth, I issue 415 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 3: a tweet demanding that people leave the capital and the violence, 416 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 3: and I said that those that fail to do that 417 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 3: should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 418 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 3: And I continue to believe that today we cannot ever 419 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 3: allow what happened on January sixth to happen again in 420 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 3: the heart of our democracy. And I'll stand by the 421 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 3: decisions and the due process of court in our laws. 422 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 3: And I have no interest or no intention of pardoning 423 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 3: those that assaulted police officers or vandalize our capital. They 424 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 3: need to be answerable to the. 425 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 1: Law, fullest extent of the law. Mister Pennce, Okay, well 426 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: as somebody who has some familiarity with how criminal law 427 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: can be applied in different circumstances from my time working 428 00:24:53,600 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: on terrorism cases. There's what the law does to you 429 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: if it decides to give you some grace and some mercy. 430 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: And there's what the law can. 431 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: Do to you if you are deemed well. In the 432 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: case of a terrorist obviously an enemy of the state, 433 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everything becomes a ten year mandatory 434 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: federal minimum. What do we see on January sixth, Yes, 435 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: there were some individuals, There were people who were violent 436 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: against police. There were a lot of people in BLM 437 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: riots who were violent against police. How many of them 438 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: got eight years in federal prison? Just wondering how many 439 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: of them got decades? I mean the longest sentence I 440 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: think so far was for the oathkeeper head, who got 441 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: eighteen years in federal prison, no violence, no weapons, all 442 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: for conspiracy. Does that seem fair? I would want to 443 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: ask former Vice President Pens does that seem fair to you? 444 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 2: Okay? 445 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: And then let's take it to an even more egregious 446 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: miscarriage of justice. They held January sixth defendants in many 447 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: cases in solitary confinement as though they were a risk 448 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: to others. Refuse to give them pre trial release. These 449 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: are first time non violent offenders. Refuse to give some 450 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: of them pre trial release because judges in DC decided 451 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: that they were a risk for a second insurrection, as 452 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: if they were going to get out of prison. Their 453 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: lives are ruined, their jobs are gone, They're facing years 454 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: and years in prison. They're branded terrorists by the regime, 455 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: by the Biden White House in some cases, for doing 456 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: nothing more than walking into a building with police talking 457 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: to them and chatting with them friendly as they walked, 458 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: and then they're going to try another insurrection. Really does 459 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: anyone believe that? I don't think so well. Does any 460 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: reasonable rational person believe that I have to amend that 461 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: the answer is of course, no, Democrats have convinced themselves 462 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: as people are all enemies of the state. 463 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: You know what their ultimate crime was. For those who 464 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 2: were nonviolent, It's. 465 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: All a question of scale, right, It's all a question 466 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: of equal justice under the law. Why is somebody who 467 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: showed up and threw a punch on January sixth at 468 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,239 Speaker 1: a police officer a terrorist and a person that has 469 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: to spend years and years in prison. But the hundreds, 470 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: if not thousands of BLM riders in twenty twenty throughout 471 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: that summer who threw bricks and rocks and punches and 472 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: more at cops, were any of them locked up for 473 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: years based on that? 474 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 4: No. 475 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: If you remember, Kamala Harris was raising money to get 476 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: them out of prison, the Bail Fund. 477 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 2: Remember that. 478 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: So we all understand that the justice system is being 479 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: weaponized against one side. This is not too excuse behavior. 480 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: You can't hit cops, you can't destroy public property. 481 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: We believe in rule of law there should be punishment, 482 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: but the punishment should be fair. It should be. 483 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: Commensurate with the offenses, not escalated into acting. 484 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 2: Like these are all members of al. 485 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: Qaeda or something you know al Qaeda in Maga hats 486 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: which is what has effectively. 487 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 2: Been done by the Biden d OJ. 488 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: Pence was pushed further on this one, and he was 489 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: asked again about whether he would pardon Trump. 490 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: Here's what he says, Play three. 491 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 3: If Donald Trump is convicted of a crime and you're 492 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 3: elected president, would you pardon him? Well, I don't want 493 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 3: to speak about hypotheticals. I'm not sure I'm going to 494 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 3: be elected president of the United States, but I believe 495 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 3: we have a fighting chance. 496 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 2: I really believe we do. 497 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 3: And if you are, and I would hope again, Dan, 498 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 3: you're as persistent as ever, living up. 499 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: To its reputation. 500 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: Look, there are real issues the American people are facing, 501 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 3: and rather than talking about that, I want to talk 502 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 3: about what the people you're in Iowa talking about, which 503 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 3: is the failed policies divide. 504 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: Didn't really address the question, which I thought was not 505 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: I would I would expect more from former Vice President Pence, obviously, 506 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: if they try to lock Donald Trump up for the 507 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: charges that have been discussed and that we are told 508 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: they're imminent. I'm just reporting on what is being reported 509 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: to you on that. I know it's unsettling, it's upsetting, 510 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: but I don't know anyone who doesn't believe they're that 511 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: these charges are coming at this point, including the Trump camp. 512 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 2: So why evade the question? For Pence? 513 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: We need somebody who knows what time it is in 514 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: this country. We need somebody who understands what we are 515 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: up against and the nature of the opposition. They are 516 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: weaponizing the law, they are abusing their power, they are 517 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: ruining people's lives, they are lying about it all, and 518 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:04,479 Speaker 1: they don't care. So we have to win. That's a 519 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: big part of this, right, That's really step one, which 520 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: is what this whole primary process is all about. We 521 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: have to win, but we also have to have someone 522 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: in place who knows what it is that the opposition 523 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: is trying to do. They are not trying to be fair, 524 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: they don't care, they like the double standards. Is Mike 525 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: Pence demand for this moment? Is he a fighter? 526 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 2: I'll leave that to you. 527 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: You know, one, hundreds of thousands of Americans are experiencing 528 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: every day pain, but they found relief from a company 529 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: that's been a big part of this show for a 530 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: long time, relief Factor.

Crime is mostly a state and local issue, 559 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: but there are certainly federal. 560 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: Components to it. 561 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: And when you see what the narrative is from the Democrats, 562 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: the national Democrat narrative starting in twenty twenty, and how 563 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: it has continued to this day, you can see that 564 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: something very much changed. There's a non partisan think tank, 565 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: the Council on Criminal Justice. 566 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 2: This was looked at just a few what was it 567 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 2: a few. 568 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: Months ago, and it says that it tells you that 569 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: the following right, that so this is for the beginning 570 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three. That for last year, that last 571 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: year for which we have full data, the homicide rate 572 00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: pretty much stayed the same across the country. Now, there 573 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: are some who will try to tell you, oh, okay, 574 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: it dropped like three or four percent. Some will tell you, well, 575 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, it dropped a little bit it's up nationally 576 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: thirty percent since twenty nineteen, thirty four percent. Actually, so 577 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: you're talking about a third, more than a third increase 578 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: in homicides. That is now a durable new metric, like 579 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: that line is staying where it is. And this is 580 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: something that would, I would hope would be a massive 581 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: priority of anybody in a position of politics to deal 582 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: with it. But I think you need to need to 583 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: hear this Cree. Jean Pierre wants you to know that 584 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: the maiden administration has already dealt with. 585 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 2: The crime problem. Play six. 586 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 5: Recent study shows that fifty percent of retail workers have 587 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 5: seen some sort of retail and another nearly fifty percent 588 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 5: are afraid to go to work. So is the president 589 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 5: aware of retail theft? And how come the problems become 590 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 5: so pervasive? Under is a ten years? 591 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 6: So look what I can tell you is, unlike congressional Republicans, 592 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 6: the President has taken action. He has taken action to 593 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 6: deal with the crime, hiring police officers. You've seen that 594 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 6: from his actions that he's taken to cut crime. And 595 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,760 Speaker 6: it started with the American Rescue Plan. The American Rescue 596 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 6: Plan had billions of dollars that went into communities to 597 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 6: hire police officers. So we have taken actions. We have 598 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 6: made sure that we do everything that we can to 599 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 6: try and protect communities and to make sure that police 600 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 6: officers are hired. 601 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just nonsense, right, What does she even 602 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: say hiring police? Okay, where are you hiring the police officers? 603 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: What are you telling the police officers to do? Well, 604 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: you don't as a federal government, you don't really tell 605 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: them anything. But what is their mission? Are they able 606 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 1: to do their jobs? Or's the Biden White House with 607 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: the DOJ acting as the internet, going to make some 608 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: consent decree necessary for a police department. You know, there 609 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: are police departments that, because of racism allegations, have federal 610 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: overwatch on them, and then everyone goes, oh gosh, and 611 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: they have to share all their data and who are 612 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: they arresting and all the rest of it. Yeah, fifty percent, 613 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: think about that fifty percent. 614 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 2: This is from the White House. 615 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: She's being asked this question by by It wasn't a 616 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: Fox News guy, I don't think. I don't know who 617 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: that was, but by one of the members of the 618 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: Press Corps. Fifty percent of retail workers are afraid to 619 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: go to work because of all the crime. Think about 620 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: that now, they're always telling you in these different cities. Oh, 621 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: but you know it's it's mostly just property crime. Why 622 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 1: should you have to worry if someone is willing to 623 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: go into a store that you work in and brazenly 624 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,399 Speaker 1: not the old shoplifting. 625 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: Can we just talk with this for a second. 626 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: It used to be shoplifting with somebody you know, stole 627 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: some merchandise, stuffed it up their shirt or it'll put 628 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,479 Speaker 1: it in their pant leg and try to walk out 629 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: with nobody paying. That was our old version of shoplifting, 630 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: by and large in America. The new version, the democrat, 631 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: the post George Floyd BLM two point zero version of 632 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: shoplifting is get a big bag like Santa Claus would have, 633 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: and fill it with all the gifts you want, except 634 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: it's stolen merchandise, and then just walk out of the place, 635 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 1: just you know, take take the big bag of your 636 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: stolen goods, and know that the retail workers around you 637 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: they feel demeaned in this process. Their jobs are over 638 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: the long run, put at risk by this process because 639 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: the stores are getting robbed so much that they can't 640 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 1: make money, and then they get shut down.

See the Whole Foods in downtown 642 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: San Franz that was supposed to serve Twitter headquarters that 643 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: had was it five hundred and nine to one one 644 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 1: calls in one year? 645 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 2: Something crazy like that, four hundred and eighty or four 646 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 2: fifty or something. 647 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: More than one a day? 648 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 2: Oh okay? What changed? 649 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: Well, when you have a criminal who walks into one 650 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: of these stores and understands that they can steal more 651 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: in five minutes than they would make in say a 652 00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: minimum wage job in a day or a week, and 653 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 1: they don't care about the damage they're doing to society. 654 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: They don't care about theft as a bad thing that 655 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: people should not do. 656 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 2: They know that. 657 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: The retail employees, I mean, I mentioned to you yesterday 658 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: the CEO of Lulu Levin stands behind firing to employees 659 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: for trying to stop somebody from stealing. 660 00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 2: It's just stuff. 661 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: He says, Okay, interesting, that's one approach, And I mean, 662 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: think about it. 663 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 2: Those people lost their jobs. They lost their jobs. 664 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: They've been working for this company in a Lulu lemon 665 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: and they are fired and treated horribly for trying to 666 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 1: do the right thing, which is to stop someone from stealing. 667 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 1: But no Democrats, especially rich democrats like the CEO of 668 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: lul lemon. It's an opportunity to virtue signal. Oh you know, 669 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 1: I don't care. It's you know, people need it more 670 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 1: than we do. Let them steal, let them take this 671 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: stuff will be fine. I mean, I might have to 672 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: shut down a few stores and fire hard working people 673 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: who show up and do the right thing, but you know, 674 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 1: I'll seem like I'm a big supporter of Democrat left 675 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: policies in all of this. Oh wow, the team sent 676 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: me this is This is This gives you a sense 677 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: of where things are. This is from the New York Post. 678 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 1: A pair of shady teenagers sank to a new low 679 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,320 Speaker 1: when they looted an eight year old boys Upper west 680 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: Side sidewalk lemonade stand. The crooks waited until Julian Lynn 681 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: had his back turned. They snatched his money jar with 682 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,359 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars and ran away, Well drove 683 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: away on two scooters. 684 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 2: It was a scooter drive by scooter theft. 685 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: I feel disappointed in humanity, the young entrepreneur told, I 686 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: love the upperwest Side dot com. I didn't realize that 687 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: somebody would want to rob an eight year old Of 688 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 1: course they do. Of course they do rob robed a 689 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,879 Speaker 1: little eight year old boy. Think about it, Think about 690 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 1: what kind of person does that? Do you think the 691 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: kind of person who would in broad daylight rob an 692 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: eight year old boy lemonade? 693 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 2: Stand? 694 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: Do you think they're going to go on to be 695 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: Rhodes scholars and start their own businesses and do great things. 696 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: I don't think they're on a very good path. Do 697 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: you think it's better to let them get away with it? 698 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: Or if the cops catch them, to just say, yeah, 699 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: you know, no big deal, no problem. We don't want 700 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: to put this on anyone's record. We don't want to 701 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 1: make things harder for them. Right, this is what's going on, 702 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,919 Speaker 1: and every sane, honest person sees it. Democrats have gone 703 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: as far as they can to effectively legalize crime. This 704 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: is also why, going back to the stealing with bags 705 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,120 Speaker 1: full of the stolen merchandise, even if the cops come, 706 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: nothing's going to happen to these people. They have no 707 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: fear anymore of the consequences of their law breaking. So 708 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: why would they stop? Why would they stop? And this 709 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 1: is why when I say, when I say that these 710 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: are decisions that are being made. Notice how many times 711 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: Democrat policies in the major cities we hear about some 712 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 1: horrible crime. Someone's you know, pushed another person in front 713 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: of a subway train. That happened recently in New York 714 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: City on the on the Upper East Side. A young woman, 715 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: she's paralyzed now because some vagrant maniac through her in 716 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,720 Speaker 1: front of a train. Guy is long history of drug abuse, 717 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 1: many interactions with police, all this stuff. How many times 718 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 1: can you get arrested before they do something? Well, you know, 719 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg and the district attorneys in places like Philadelphia, 720 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: Saint Louis, San Francisco, their real approach is, look, you 721 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: steal as much as you want, We're not going to 722 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 1: do anything to you. You know, break into a car, 723 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: steal some cars, do all that stuff. You know, that's 724 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,879 Speaker 1: that's just property crime. After the fiftieth the rest, though, 725 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: if we catch you because you murdered somebody, we might 726 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: have to lock you up for a bit. Seems to 727 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: be the mentality. These people who do the horrible things 728 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,759 Speaker 1: have been arrested many, many, many times. Maybe it would 729 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: be better if there was some real punishment for all 730 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: of the crimes they had been doing before, maybe they 731 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 1: would have been taken out of society for a while 732 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: so that they wouldn't have posed a risk to their 733 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 1: fellow human beings. This is not complicated stuff, really, it's 734 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: actually quite straightforward. But Democrats would rather live in a 735 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 1: country where they get to feel virtuous at the expense 736 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,640 Speaker 1: of others, or they get to virtue signal among their 737 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: fancy friends at Malibu and Hampton's cocktail parties, while the 738 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:39,919 Speaker 1: working people day to day. 739 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,000 Speaker 2: Retail is one of the biggest employers in the whole country. 740 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: I think something like ten percent of the workforce is 741 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 1: in retail in some capacity. Half of them are scared 742 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: to do their jobs. Why because if some maniac shows 743 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: up half naked, you know, throwing bottles of yurin around, 744 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: stealing stuff and threatening to stab somebody, the cops will 745 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: arrive and say, all right, I will kind of take 746 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: him out of here, but the D's gonna let him go. 747 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: Welcome to Democrat dystopia. That's the country we live in now. 748 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: I hope people take it take this into account when 749 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 1: they think about who they want to put in power 750 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: and who they're gonna vote for. 751 00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 2: Bud. 752 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 1: The brainwashing among the libs is very powerful.

Here he is 779 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 1: back in twenty eleven talking about how they just switched 780 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,800 Speaker 1: from one lie to another to another, and they don't 781 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 1: care play it. 782 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 7: Back in the seventies eighties, we had to get rid 783 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,080 Speaker 7: of free on. We had to stop using aerosol spray 784 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 7: cans because that was creating the hole in the ozone folks, 785 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 7: it was. 786 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: The panic over the ozone hole was as big a. 787 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 7: Panic as any of you who remember any panic associated 788 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:22,360 Speaker 7: with global warming. 789 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:23,800 Speaker 2: I mean it was big. 790 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 7: They had naps, they had charts, they showed us how 791 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 7: big the hole was, and it was going to lead 792 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 7: to skin cancers and it was going to lead to 793 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 7: global warming. It was going to lead all it was. 794 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 7: It was going to be an absolute disaster, and the 795 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 7: hole was getting bigger, and they finally found out it 796 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,640 Speaker 7: was aerosol. So people started making jokes about spraying right 797 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 7: guard was causing an ozone hole. Now, of course, back then, 798 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,239 Speaker 7: I your host as big as skeptic then as now, 799 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 7: and I laughed at it. What do you are you 800 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 7: really trying to tell us? You really want us to 801 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 7: believe that aerosol spray cans are causing a hole in 802 00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,760 Speaker 7: atmospheric ozone? And they were dead serious. They recently measured 803 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 7: the ozone holes the same size and it fluctuates, it 804 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 7: changes in size year to year. If the measurements are correct, 805 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 7: we can basically no longer say we understand how ozone 806 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 7: holes come into being. It was the same hoax, the 807 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 7: same tactic, the same technique. It was the same. 808 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 2: In fact, the New. 809 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 7: York Times in January of twenty ten had a story 810 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 7: on the ozone hole is mending? That hole the Earth's 811 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 7: ozone layer slowly mending, considered a big victory for environmental 812 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,360 Speaker 7: policy makers, But a new report scientists say there's a downside. 813 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 7: The repair make a tribute. 814 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 2: To global warming. 815 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 7: So a year ago the hole was reducing, but that 816 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,400 Speaker 7: was causing global warming. Before the ozone hole, it was 817 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 7: acid rain, and then it was nuclear winter, and they 818 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:53,320 Speaker 7: went from global warming. 819 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 2: To compact fluorescent light bulbs. 820 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 7: I'm telling you every aspect of it is a lie, 821 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 7: every environmental claim, everyone that's apocalyptic, it's a lie, full fledged, 822 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 7: one hundred percent through and through. 823 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:13,880 Speaker 2: Absolutely true. 824 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,280 Speaker 1: And we know that what Rush said is absolutely true 825 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: because where's the apocalypse never happens. Eventually they have to 826 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: walk some of this stuff back. They'll say, oh, it's 827 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 1: not really the ozone, but it's really CO two, and 828 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: then they just switch to the next one. Largely because 829 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 1: these are people. If you're looking for people who can 830 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: be easily brainwashed, and this actually comes from the literature 831 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: on totalitarian states and brainwashing, you have to find someone 832 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:50,720 Speaker 1: who is, as Hannah Arrent called them, an adamized subject. 833 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:55,280 Speaker 1: So a person who feels disconnected doesn't mean they're alone, 834 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,919 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they live in a cabin by themselves way 835 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 1: out in the woods. It just means they feel discnnected 836 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: from a society around them and then lack purpose and 837 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,760 Speaker 1: meaning in their day to day. People who lack purpose 838 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 1: and meaning are easy to pick off for propagandists, and 839 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: that is what and demagogues and totalitarians, and this is 840 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:20,240 Speaker 1: why you see within the leftist movement, the environmentalist climate 841 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,520 Speaker 1: change wackos, same people that were masking alone in car 842 00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,640 Speaker 1: same people who say men can get pregnant. It's all 843 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 1: because they are susceptible, their psychology, their emotional state, they 844 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: are susceptible to these kinds of extreme and dishonest messages. 845 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 2: We got some. 846 00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: Calls in let's see we let's get to a Debbie 847 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,919 Speaker 1: in another lot of North Carolina. Love on the shop. 848 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm just that's what's call it in Debbia, North Carolina. 849 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:50,839 Speaker 2: What's going on? 850 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,839 Speaker 8: Hi, Buck, thank you so much for filling such an 851 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,200 Speaker 8: enormous hole left by Rush Limbaugh. To get to the point, 852 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 8: there is a town in North Carolina called Canton, and 853 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,879 Speaker 8: today the people who work at the paper mill are 854 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 8: losing their jobs because the factory is closing. That's the 855 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 8: reason Donald Trump walked down that escalator. That's the reason 856 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 8: that he became our president, because he cared about the 857 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 8: regular people of the men and women and children of America. 858 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 8: You know, he would have been he was a great 859 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 8: president to me. I mean, he accomplished so many things. 860 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:34,359 Speaker 8: He would have even been greater had those investigation, all 861 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 8: of those investigations never come to fruition. And my question 862 00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:45,240 Speaker 8: is as far as Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis. Once 863 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:50,200 Speaker 8: all of those investigations were proven wrong, bogut, where were 864 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,239 Speaker 8: they in support of him? They weren't. None of them 865 00:49:54,320 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 8: came out in support of Donald Trump afterwards, and I 866 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 8: just I have no respect for that, you know, I 867 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 8: just don't. 868 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,759 Speaker 1: Debbie, thank you for calling in. Well, look, we may 869 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,839 Speaker 1: have since you bring that up, we're hoping we may 870 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: actually get Mike Pence on the show tomorrow. 871 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,000 Speaker 2: So here's what I'll say to all of you. 872 00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 1: Send me go to clayanbuck dot com, become a VIP, 873 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,799 Speaker 1: send in questions and maybe I can get a couple 874 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: of questions from the audience for Pence. You can also 875 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: send me your thoughts on Twitter at buck Sexton. It's 876 00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 1: not confirmed yet, but we're trying to get Pence for tomorrow, 877 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,800 Speaker 1: so now's a good time.
