1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us. Buck, We'll be 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: back with me on Tuesday. I am back from what 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: might be described as a disastrous golf performance at the 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: Live Nashville Golf event. Hank Haney says he can fix 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: my swing as he once fixed Rush swing, So we'll 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 1: see whether or not that can become a reality. We 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: have got a lot to discuss with all of you 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: as we roll into the weekend. 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: Right off the. 11 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: Top, still no verdict, no ruling, no decision on what 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: exactly is going to happen when it comes to presidential 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: immunity for Donald Trump as it pertains to the January 14 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: sixth cases brought by Jack Smith. As we've told you 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: for some time on this program, it feels like these 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: are going to be released at the absolute latest time imaginable. 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: Next week is scheduled to be the last day, last 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: couple of days of release from the opinions I believe. 19 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: I was texting with Shannon Breem earlier. She covers the 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: Supreme Court for Fox News. She said there are still 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: sixteen cases that are outstanding, including the Trump immunity case, 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: and what's going to end up happening with the jan 23 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: sixth cases, the Fisher case that you've heard us talk 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: about a lot with Julie Kelly in terms of whether 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: or not that those charges under Sarvaine's Oxley of basically 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: messing up a proceeding are going to be allowed to proceed. 27 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: So all of that still to come. 28 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: And we're sitting six days away from the big debate 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: on June twenty seventh in Atlanta on CNN, no crowds, President, 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: but Joe Biden has to stand for ninety minutes, and 31 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has now gone to camp. David basically ended 32 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: everything on his schedule to prepare for a ninety minute 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: debate that is already being called essentially his campaign in 34 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: that if he does poorly in this, the race is 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: effectively over. I've got a lot of thoughts on that, 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: as you can well imagine. We'll talk about that a 37 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: little bit maybe in the second hour. Of course, we 38 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: will take your calls on a Friday as we often 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: do eight hundred and two two eight A two, and 40 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: Kelly Leffler, former Senator from Georgia, is going to be 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: with us in the final hour of the program. She's 42 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: doing great work to help make sure that Georgia turns 43 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: back read with her advocacy group down there. We will 44 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: discuss many different issues with her in the third hour 45 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: of the program. 46 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: But she's the only guest right now scheduled to be 47 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 2: with us. 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: So let's dive in because I think there are a 49 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: couple of stories that are not getting the amount of 50 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: attention that they should have that I want to discuss 51 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: with all of you. First, you probably have heard that 52 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg, who charged Donald Trump with thirty four felonies, 53 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: who elevated misdemeanors too felonies at a time when he 54 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: almost always is lowering felonies to misdemeanors, has dropped all 55 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: of the charges against the Columbia University protesters who took 56 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: over campus buildings. Clearly violated laws on trespassing. There are 57 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: arguable assaults that were created and involved in the takeover 58 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: of those buildings. 59 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: But let's listen. 60 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I believe it has cut for to a discussion about 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: the charges all being dropped there here it is nowadays the. 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: Manhattan District Attorney's office has dropped criminal charges against dozens 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 3: of anti Israel protesters who barricaded themselves in buildings at 64 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: Columbia University back in April without even. 65 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: A slap on the wrist. 66 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: And now there's outrage over this move and it is 67 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: growing fast. Nate Floy is live with the latest on 68 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: this story for US Nate. 69 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 2: Hey, Jackie. 70 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: So, the cases of thirty one Columbia Universities students and 71 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: staff members arrested at Hamilton Hall are now dismissed. Prosecutors 72 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 4: say there is insufficient evidence to prove the defendants cause 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 4: damage or injured anybody because of a lack of security 74 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: camera footage and the fact that protesters wore face masks. 75 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: This is bonkers. 76 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: I would imagine New York City Mayor Eric Adams is 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: furious about this. This is not a difficult case to 78 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: actually prosecute. They arrested the protesters illegally trespassing in the 79 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: building after they had taken control of the building, after 80 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: they had chained the doors, and refuse to leave. This 81 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: is one of the easiest cases imaginable. But the charges 82 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: are being dropped and at the same time they have 83 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: done everything they can. I believe they're going to try 84 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: to put Trump in prison. On July eighth when he 85 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: shows up for sentencing. I expect that Alvin Bragg will 86 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: request prison time for Trump. That remains to be seen. 87 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: The reports have been that the district attorney, Alvin Bragg 88 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: will actually share his impressions of what the punishment should 89 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: be in court filings, although I would suspect those will 90 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: leak immediately in the New York Times, the Washington Post, 91 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: probably the New York Times will break that story before 92 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: the court filings have hardly even hit the docket. So 93 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: I want to bring this up because there are two 94 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: instances of late that have not received substantial amounts of 95 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: attention that I believe should have, of clear crimes being 96 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: committed by Democrats where absolutely nothing has happened to them. 97 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: Now there are lots of examples of this. Certainly we 98 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: could go in and talk about doctor Fauci and all 99 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: the lies that he's told. Hunter Biden finally getting prosecuted, 100 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: convicted in Delaware soon to be convicted, I believe, based 101 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: on the fact that he clearly didn't pay millions of 102 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: dollars in taxes in California when that case is scheduled 103 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: to go to trial in September. But two cases that 104 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: I haven't heard very many people talk about and I 105 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: want to hit you with the details on them here. 106 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland, the Attorney General of the United States, is 107 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: refusing to turn over audio recordings of President Biden being 108 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,679 Speaker 1: questioned by Robert Herr, the special counsel. 109 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: You'll recall that Joe. 110 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: Biden came out and claimed that he was misquoted, that 111 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: he was asked all sorts of questions that he believed 112 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: were outside the pale of the investigation, claiming you remember 113 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: in a fiery press conference back in I believe February 114 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: that his own son's death bow had been brought up, 115 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: and the fact that he couldn't remember when that happened, 116 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: or that he got dates confused, was a sign of 117 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: somehow this being an unfair investigation. And remember the ultimate 118 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: decision of Robert Herr was that Joe Biden was a 119 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: well meaning elderly man who didn't have the mental faculties 120 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: to be charged with crimes that he actually committed. Well, 121 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: I believe it's incredibly important, particularly because the Biden White 122 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: House is now claiming that videos showing clear cognitive and 123 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: physical decline of Joe Biden are cheap fakes. I believe 124 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: that all of us should be able to hear Joe 125 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: Biden answer the questions of Robert Her. There are audio 126 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: files as we are soon to enter presidential voting time. 127 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: Don't you believe that, given the fact that Joe Biden 128 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have very many interviews that he gives period, we 129 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: should be able to hear Biden answering questions of Robert 130 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: Her and make our own determination about how he sounds, 131 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: either positive or negative. Is this a man that we 132 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: believe can get on the phone with Ukraine, with Russia, 133 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: with China and try to deal with major geopolitical issues 134 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: that are unspooling on a day to day basis. Or 135 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: is his mental and physical cognition a severe issue? 136 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: To me? 137 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: This is not a remotely difficult question. And the Republicans 138 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: in Congress voted and said, we believe that this tape 139 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: should be released. Merrick Garland said no. They held him 140 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: in contempt because he's refusing to comply with a request 141 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: from Congress. And Merrick Garland's own Department of Justice said, hey, 142 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: guess what, this is not a violation of the law. 143 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: We can do whatever we want here. So Merrick Garland 144 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: clear contempt of Congress, no prosecution at all. He's above 145 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: the law, which Joe Biden, of course claims no one is. Meanwhile, 146 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: Steve Bannon is having to appeal to the Supreme Court 147 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: because otherwise he's going to have to begin a four 148 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: month jail sentence on July first. That's a pretty direct comparison. 149 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: Bannon defies Congress's orders and he's put in prison for 150 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: four months. Merrick Garland defies Congressional request that he merely 151 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: released the actual audio files of Joe Biden's investigation. That 152 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: hearing that questioning of Robert Hrr and the Department of 153 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: Justice says, hey, Merrick Garland doesn't have any criminal culpability 154 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: at all. He can just thumb his nose at Congress. 155 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: That's pretty significant. Second one, and I think this is 156 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: massive and it's important to understand where we are when it. 157 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: Comes to the justice system. 158 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: No charges at all are being brought in this classified 159 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: document case which Robert Hurr was investigating against Joe Biden, 160 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: even though they found that he willfully retained classified documents. 161 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: Remember classified documents that likely originated from his days in 162 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: the Senate or potentially when he was Vice president, that 163 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: he kept in files beside his corvette, and that he 164 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: bragged about finding on audio to his ghostwriter of his book. 165 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: The ghostwriter, as soon as this classified document investigation began, 166 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: tried to delete all of the audio files of his 167 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: interviews with Joe Biden. They know this, They uncovered that 168 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: he had done it. Nothing has happened to him at all. 169 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 5: I want to. 170 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: Repeat this because I think this is actually a situation 171 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: where Republicans are dropping the ball in Congress. This is 172 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: not a very complicated case. The ghostwriter of Joe Biden's autobiography, 173 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: Remember these guys don't actually write their own autobiographies. The 174 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: ghostwriter had on tape Joe Biden bragging about retrieving classified 175 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: documents that he shared with his ghostwriter. Who knows what 176 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: else Joe Biden was saying on those audio tapes. As 177 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: soon as the Robert Hurr investigation began, the ghostwriter of 178 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: this book tried to delete all of the audio files 179 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: that he had of Joe Biden. That's clear destruction of evidence. 180 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: Why has he not been this ghostwriter hauled directly in 181 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: front of Congress and made to answer questions under oath. 182 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: But on a larger scale, how. 183 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: In the world have no charges been brought against him, 184 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: to say nothing of Joe Biden, but at least he 185 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: has presidential immunity because he's currently in office, and there's 186 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: a Department of Justice idea that you can't be prosecuted. 187 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: But we know that Joe Biden willfully retained classified documents, 188 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: bragged about having them on audio, and that his ghostwriter 189 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: then tried to delete all of the files as soon 190 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: as he knew this investigation began. How many of you 191 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: even know that. One of the big challenges that frustrates 192 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: me in general is every day there is a fire 193 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: hose worth of stories that are spraying out in every direction. 194 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: And one of the big problems that we have is 195 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: the Republican Party doesn't do a good job figuring out 196 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: what matters and what needs to be focused on. I mean, honestly, 197 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: how many of you even knew that ghostwriter story? How 198 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: many of you knew that Joe Biden is on tape 199 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: bragging about having classified documents to his ghostwriter, and that 200 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: the ghost tried to destroy all. 201 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: Of these files. 202 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: That is very clear evidence destruction of evidence. It's an 203 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: easy case to bring in a federal investigation. Yet nothing 204 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: has happened to this ghostwriter, and for the most part, 205 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: nobody has talked about it at all. Why is this 206 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: not a major point of discussion. Why is this guy, 207 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: this ghostwriter not hauled immediately before Congress and made to 208 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: answer questions? And how in the world can you justify 209 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: him not being charged with crimes. He's not president, he 210 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: doesn't have presidential immunity. These conversations that he tried to 211 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,599 Speaker 1: destroy happened back when Biden was vice after Biden was 212 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: vice president, not when he was president. There's no claim 213 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: that these are somehow protected conversations. However, Republicans dropped the 214 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: ball on this. And what might that ghostwriter say if 215 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,080 Speaker 1: he was actually facing criminal charges, and as should be 216 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: the case, people were trying to put him in prison, 217 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: might he turn on Joe Biden and actually share a 218 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: lot more incriminating evidence. This is just no brainer, basic 219 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: blocking and tackling not being executed. It's an easy story 220 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: for everyone out there to understand. Why is the Republican 221 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: Party not focusing on this story? Biden on audio bragging 222 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: about having classified documents that he had no business being 223 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: able to retain, and his ghostwriter who told him to 224 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: suddenly destroy all that evidence. That's a pretty big decision 225 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: for a ghostwriter to make. That he goes into a 226 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: computer and starts trying to destroy all the files of 227 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: all of his investigations. You don't think somebody told. 228 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 2: Him to do that? 229 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: How do we not have this guy under oath? How 230 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: is he not being charged? I want to talk about 231 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: this more, but I think it's very instructive. As Alvin 232 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: Bragg continues to drop charges against everybody arrested in Colombia, 233 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: as Merrick Garland thumbs his nose at congressional demands that 234 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: he released the actual audio files of Biden's Robert Her investigation, 235 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: and as the ghost writer here knowingly destroying evidence to 236 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: try to protect Joe Biden. How is this not a 237 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: bigger story? Why is he not under oath? How is 238 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: he avoided being charged? We'll talk about all that more. 239 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: Born on America's darkest day of nine to eleven, The 240 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: Tunnel the Towers Foundation's been helping America's heroes ever since. 241 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: When a first responder, a military service member doesn't come 242 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: home and young kids are left behind, Tunnel of Towers 243 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: pays the mortgage of the family home to lift the 244 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: financial burden for severely injured veterans and first responders. Tunnel 245 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: of Towers builds mortgage free smart homes, enabling severely injured 246 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: heroes to move around their homes more independently. Through the 247 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: foundation's Homeless Veteran program, Tunnel of the Towers is providing 248 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: housing and services to homeless veterans more than thirty three 249 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: hundred help last year alone.

Out today 261 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: and Monday, and we'll be certainly talking a lot over 262 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: the next several days about the upcoming debate and what 263 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: we should expect to see. 264 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: From the debate. 265 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: As Joe Biden is now at Camp David for the 266 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: next seven days, preparing for what he is going to 267 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: theoretically be able to do. Remember, debate's only ninety minutes. 268 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: There are two different commercial breaks presumably that will knock 269 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: out six or seven minutes from the overall debate. 270 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: So you're then down to what eighty three minutes ish. 271 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: Trump will talk for half of that time, We're only 272 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: talking about Joe Biden having to talk for thirty five 273 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: or forty minutes. He's preparing for one full week to 274 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: talk for the amount of time that I talk to 275 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: you every hour. 276 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: Think about how crazy that is. 277 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: The President of the United States has cleared his entire 278 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: schedule to go to Camp David and prepare to talk 279 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: to all of you for about forty five minutes at 280 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: the absolute apex, more likely thirty eight forty two minutes 281 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: somewhere in there when you factor in the amount of 282 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: time for the commercial breaks. I mean, honestly, with the 283 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: questions being asked, he probably only has to talk for 284 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: about thirty five minutes. He's preparing for one full week 285 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: to do that. And I know that many of you 286 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: out there agree with me that Biden is not going 287 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: to be the nominee, and I bet Buck, I bet 288 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: I bet Buck told you the last two days. Oh, 289 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm sticking to it. Clay's going to be buying me 290 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 1: a stake. There's no way that they are going to 291 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: move on from Biden. Let me lay out for you 292 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: what I. 293 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 2: Think is actually going on here. 294 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: June twenty seventh is the earliest we have ever had 295 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: a presidential debate in American political history. 296 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 2: Three months earlier. 297 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: In fact, than we have ever had an American presidential debate. 298 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: Why is that happening? 299 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: I don't think enough people are sitting back and saying, 300 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: wait a minute, what's the decision process here? Why did 301 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: the Biden team want to have a debate this early? 302 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: I don't blame Trump. He said he would debate Biden anytime, 303 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: any place, anywhere. And Biden said, Okay, we want June 304 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: twenty seventh, and we want I believe it's September tenth. 305 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: The team can check me on that if we're wrong. 306 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: Both of those are very early. But the June twenty 307 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: seventh date, in particular, I just said, when you have 308 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: the speech writer trying to delete all the audio files 309 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden, it should send the antenna up. 310 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 2: You know, you usually don't. 311 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: Catch a liar telling a grand lie. That's usually not 312 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: how lies get discovered. It's usually something small that just 313 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: doesn't add up, and you pull that thread and it 314 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: leads to a much more substantial lie. Big grand lies 315 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 1: are actually sometimes easier to get away with because if 316 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: the why isn't being told, it would be a foundational why. 317 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: People always say, like, how does Bernie Madeoff happen? How 318 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: does Ron happen? Because so many people are afraid to 319 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: even consider that the very substance of the entity itself might. 320 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 2: Be based on a fraud. People just don't want to. 321 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: Make that leap because if you're wrong on that, then 322 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: you look like a crazy person. If you came out 323 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: right before Enron imploded and you said, I got this 324 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: crazy idea. I think this Houston energy company that's one 325 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: of the biggest in the world, I think it's all 326 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: a big shell game. You came out and you said 327 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: about Bernie made Off. Hey, this guy who's been raising 328 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: money for decades has some of the richest people out 329 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: there supporting him. I think all of this is just 330 00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: a pyramid scheme. The foundational why is so substant Anchel 331 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: that in order to even make the argument, you have 332 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: to be willing to look a little bit crazy. Buck 333 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: and I, by the way, today is our three year 334 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: anniversary of this show. Starting one of the first couple 335 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: of months that we were on, we had Alex Bearnson 336 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: on in our New York City studio. I believe it 337 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: was July of twenty twenty one ish, right as they 338 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: were ramping up all of the COVID shooting, COVID shotting. 339 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: I think they're going to be on the tenth COVID 340 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: shot this fall. I'm not even kidding. The number is 341 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: now ten if you have kept all of them up 342 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: to date. And Alex Berenson came on with us, and 343 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: we were one of the only shows in America that 344 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: would have this conversation, and he said, the data reflects 345 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: that the COVID shot isn't working. In the summer of 346 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, if you remember, we were in the 347 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: middle of what they were calling hot vax summer, everybody 348 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,479 Speaker 1: was going to make up for the fact that they 349 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: hadn't been able to do anything all through twenty twenty. 350 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow was getting on her show and she was 351 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: lecturing you and saying, hey, if you get the shot, 352 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: you won't get COVID. The President of the United States 353 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: told everyone in a CNN town hall back when he 354 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: actually spoke to people and his brain worked at least 355 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: a little bit, he said, if you get the COVID shot, 356 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: you won't get COVID. That was a promise they all 357 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: made to you. They try to pretend they didn't, but 358 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: that's exactly what they told all of us. And in 359 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 1: encouragement to go get the COVID shot, Alex Parenson came 360 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: on with us and he said, hey, SHOT's not working. 361 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: And a lot of people out there said, wait a minute, 362 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: shots not working. We even got blowback. A lot of 363 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: people wrote nasty things about this. I know you'll be 364 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: stunned for even being willing to have that conversation with 365 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: Alex Parence. And guess what, we were one hundred percent right. 366 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: And now we're on the tenth COVID shot. In July 367 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, when everybody was getting their first 368 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: couple of COVID shots, if I had come on and 369 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: said this thing's gonna be garbage and by June of 370 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, they're gonna be telling you that the 371 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: tenth COVID shot is coming. Some of you would have 372 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: nodded your head and said, yeah, you're right. A lot 373 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: more of you would have said you're crazy, even on 374 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: this show, and certainly they would have tried to shut 375 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: us down. So I understand why some of you are 376 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: hesitant to really think about this. The only reason Joe 377 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: Biden is having the debate on June twenty seventh is 378 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: because internally there are people who don't believe that he 379 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: is capable of being president of the United States, and 380 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: this is his attempt to try to prove to them 381 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: that he can still run. I'm telling you, that's what 382 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: this is about. Nothing else adds up. Why on June 383 00:22:54,680 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: twenty seventh, the week before July fourth, in the middle 384 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 1: of the summer, when a lot of you are going 385 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: to finish your work on Friday and you're going to 386 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: hop in your cars or you're gonna get ready for 387 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: your travel to go on a family vacation. When July 388 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: fourth sets up on a Thursday and a Friday before 389 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: the RNC convention even starts, before the DNC convention occurs, 390 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: why would there be a presidential debate. Biden isn't even 391 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: officially the nominee. Trump isn't even officially the nominee. And 392 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: if you were out there and you were making the argument, okay, well, 393 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: the reason why this makes sense on June twenty seventh 394 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: is because Biden's trying to get more momentum. 395 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 2: The date doesn't even add. 396 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: Up Thursday night before a major summer holiday. 397 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: A lot of you, and I can see you out there, 398 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 2: a lot of you are already not even going to. 399 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: Go into work on June twenty eighth. You're going to 400 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: start your vacation earlier. A lot of you are already going. 401 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 2: To be on vacation on June twenty seventh. 402 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: You know, you know why they finished the NBA Finals 403 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: as early as they do, because historically, television ratings go 404 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: down a lot in the summer because so many people 405 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: are traveling, and when you get out of sorts with 406 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: your travel schedule, you don't watch live programming like you ordinarily. 407 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: Would you ever think about that? Why do they finish 408 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: sports in early June? Why do they have television program 409 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: for those of you who are old enough to remember, 410 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: why do they have television program that starts in September 411 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: and finishes in May? Because once the summer travel season starts, 412 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: people pay less. 413 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: Sins, pay less attention. 414 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: This isn't about Biden changing the momentum. This is about 415 00:24:55,040 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: Biden proving that he can actually run. This isn't even 416 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: about Trump or the Republicans at all. This is about 417 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats not believing in Joe Biden. This is his 418 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: show me moment, and I'm gonna be honest with y'all. 419 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure that I want Trump to dominate 420 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:29,360 Speaker 1: Biden in six days. This might sound counterintuitive, but I'm 421 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: actually more afraid of Democrats pulling the rug out from 422 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: under Joe Biden because I think Biden's gonna lose, And 423 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: anybody out there who's arguing to you, well, he's gonna 424 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: be great in the debate. They already made this argument 425 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: with the State of the Union, proving that your brain 426 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: works well enough for you to talk for thirty eight 427 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: minutes or sixty two minutes, or whatever the length of 428 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: time he talked in the State of the Union. Biden's 429 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: in worship now than he was before the State of 430 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: the Union, because no matter what he does on the 431 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: debate stage, every time he goes up and down the 432 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: stairs of Air Force one or every time he walks 433 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: across the White House lawn, all of us see the reality, 434 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: which is Biden is not physically or mentally capable to 435 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: be president of the United States. 436 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: We all know this deep down. Democrats know this. That's 437 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 2: why the debate's happening in June. 438 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: And I know Buck doesn't want to believe me on this, 439 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: but tell me that this doesn't all add up. This 440 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: is about Biden either passing or failing the nomination test. 441 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: If he fails, soon after July fourth, they will trot 442 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: him out. He will say that he has righted the 443 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 1: American ship, but that he understands it's time for a 444 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: new generation of leadership and he is stepping down and 445 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: won't run in twenty twenty four or accept the nomination. 446 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: And as a result, he's going to free all of 447 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: his delegates in August in Chicago to support whichever Democrat 448 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: they decide is the appropriate nominee. 449 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 2: Tell me why that doesn't make sense. That's if he 450 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 2: does poorly. 451 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: If he does well, they're going to still try to 452 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: drag him across the finish line. Because really the date 453 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: for Biden here is when he's officially nominated in August 454 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: once he's officially nominated. 455 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 2: This is set in stone. 456 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: June twenty seventh is about Biden having to pass the 457 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: test for Democrats second debate September tenth, that's at least 458 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: when people are going to start early voting. I don't 459 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: really have any major alarm bells going off about September tenth, 460 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 1: but June twenty seventh, all of your antenna should be up. 461 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: All of you should be asking the question, why, what's 462 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: actually motivating this? 463 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 2: Think about it. I'll take your calls. 464 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: I'll lay this argument out a little bit more clearly 465 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: and where I think we're going and what I think 466 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: it means. But again, think aggressively. Don't listen to what 467 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: they're telling you on CNN or MSNBC or even on 468 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: a lot of the Fox News shows, because I don't 469 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: think they're thinking like you have to be thinking on 470 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: this June twenty seventh date. It's unprecedented, very unique. What's 471 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: actually the reason why it's happening? This is Biden's pass 472 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: or fail. He's either going to prove that he can 473 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: be the nominee or Democrats are kicking him to the curb. 474 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: I hope he's the nominee because I'll tell you what 475 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: I think they're going to do if he's not when 476 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: we come back. 477 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 6: Uh. 478 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: Look, Buck's got a great friend in the financial research industry, 479 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: Porter Stansbury, and he did something this month most CEOs 480 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: would never dare to do. He reduced his salary to 481 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: a dollar a year, choosing a different compensation plan with 482 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: a different kind of currency. Porter's on record saying he 483 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: did it because he's found a much better way to 484 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: save and get paid. Because Porter sees a new form 485 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: of money in America. It's making some people rich. Many 486 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: of the wealthiest people in America use it. You can too. 487 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: Porter's forthcoming plan doesn't involve gold or bitcoin, but what 488 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: he's going to use is a secret currency that not 489 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: very many people know much about.

Appreciate 498 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us as we are 499 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: rolling through the Friday edition of the program talking about 500 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: the fact that we clearly have a two tiered system 501 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: of justice. Some of you out there say, Okay, that's true, 502 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: what are we going to do about it? I think 503 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: that's a very valid response. I think that's probably the 504 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: number one response that is out there. And I've called 505 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: pretty aggressively for red state DA's and red state attorney 506 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: generals to turn the tables and start to file charges 507 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: against Democrats, because I think you have to put the 508 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: fear in them that the precedents they've set as it 509 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: pertains to Republicans will be applied even lead to them 510 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: as well. That's the only way. And that disappoints me 511 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: as a lawyer, because I'm old school in the sense 512 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: that I want to aspire to the standards of Lady Justice. 513 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: And I've talked with you guys quite a lot about 514 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: Lady Justice. She's blind for a reason. If you have 515 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: seen the traditional scales of justice, the aspiration is to 516 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: treat everyone equal, no matter what they look like. And 517 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: that's why Lady justice is blind because the idea that 518 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: your identity should implicate whether you're found guilty or innocent, 519 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: or whether you're even charged with a crime, should not 520 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: come into play. And I'll be the first to tell 521 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: you that America has often failed to live up to 522 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: that aspiration, which is why my most recent book I 523 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: made the argument that we have come full circle in 524 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: the world of justice where it used to be. For 525 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: those of you who grew up and read probably the 526 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: most famous American novel of the twentieth century, I would 527 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: wager to Kill a Mockingbird. Certainly, I would bet the 528 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: most read just about book of the American twentieth century 529 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: work of fiction. Atticus Finch is the heroic lawyer, and 530 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: I believe Makeum Alabama if I'm remembering the specific scout, 531 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: his daughter, coming of age, Jim, her brother. He is 532 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 1: defending Tom Robinson, who is is a black man accused 533 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: of sexually assaulting raping a white woman. And the evidence 534 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: clearly demonstrates that Tom Robinson didn't do it. But Mayella Eyule, 535 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: and some of you, by the way, probably cheated and 536 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 1: wanted to watch the Gregory Peck movie because you should 537 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: have read the book. But you watched the movie instead, 538 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: so you're seeing this in the context of the movie 539 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: as opposed to the book. I'm on to you. You 540 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: can come clean now, go back and read the book now. 541 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: But the important thing is that book published in nineteen 542 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: sixty about a nineteen thirties crime in the American South 543 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: where justice was not rendered because of the identity of 544 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: the alleged criminal. What we now have created, crazily is 545 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: a world where your political identity and your gender and 546 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: racial identity impacts whether or not you get charged with 547 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: the crime and how you're treated. And I was thinking 548 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: about this recently. I don't know that we have discussed it, 549 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: but I got an email notification recently Nashville, my hometown, 550 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: in a part of Nashville, they're going to paint the 551 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: rainbow for Pride month on the road and they're going 552 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: to have a gay Pride insignia in some way on 553 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: the road, as many different cities across the country now have. 554 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 2: And what's wild. 555 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: Is, if you want to talk about disparate notions of justice, 556 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: have you seen that they are prosecuting people for putting 557 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: tire marks on painted roadways as hate crimes. I'm sided 558 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 1: like this is crazy to me. First of all, I'm 559 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 1: not in favor. Let me just put it on the record. 560 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: I'm not in favor in general of painting roadways with 561 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: political messages of any sort. 562 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 2: I don't think that's a good idea. 563 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: It seems like a waste of funds. It seems like 564 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: something that you have to constantly go back and adjust. 565 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: But if you do it on a public roadway and 566 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 1: someone decides that they want to send the message that 567 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: they disagree with whatever is on the public roadway, how 568 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: is that a hate crime? And I'm gonna be honest 569 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: with you, I would be content neutral on this application. 570 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 2: It wouldn't make me happy if. 571 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 1: For July fourth, they decided we're gonna paint the American 572 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: flag on roadways everywhere, and somebody who was upset with 573 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: America decided that they wanted to disrespect the American flag 574 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: painted on the roadway by putting skin marks on them, by. 575 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 2: Burning out burning rubber on it. 576 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 1: I wouldn't agree with that decision, but I would say 577 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: they should be able to do that for presuming they're 578 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 1: not violating some sort of motor ordinance, And it certainly 579 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a hate crime. If you paint a roadway, 580 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: it seems to me you're encouraging people to give you 581 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: their opinion of the road if it's just black asphalt. 582 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't think most people really think about the road 583 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: as having a political opinion. 584 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 2: I don't hear anybody trying. Am I crazy on this? 585 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 2: Or is the idea that we're. 586 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: Going to paint roads with political messages not bonkers? Now, 587 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: if you decide you own a business and you have 588 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: a parking lot and you want to paint your entire 589 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: parking lot in the Pride flag or the American flag, 590 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: or the supporting police flag, the blue flag, all of 591 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: that would be fine to me. And you could potentially 592 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: charge somebody if you own the physical parking lot with 593 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 1: a crime for trespassing into facing your property. That would 594 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: be fine. But on a public roadway that all of 595 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 1: us pay for, I just want them to fix the potholes. 596 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: I have to dodge potholes everywhere I drive in Nashville. 597 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: Why are they deciding that they need to put a 598 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 1: Pride flag on a public roadway. You want to hang 599 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: a Pride flag outside of your business, you want to 600 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: hang an American flu, whatever you want. 601 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 2: To do, go for it. That's capitalism. 602 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: But how have we set the precedent that there's going 603 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: to be a greater punishment for someone for deciding that 604 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: they want to burn out on a Pride flag on 605 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: a public roadway than there is for someone at Columbia 606 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 1: University who is making the decision that they're going to 607 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: take over a campus building. If you were thinking to yourself, 608 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: just in the larger context, what's a greater threat to 609 00:36:55,520 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: the public a guy in a car burning rubber on 610 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 1: a Pride flag or thirty some odd protesters taking over 611 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 1: a campus building and refusing to come out and using 612 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: chains to lock the doors. If you were in charge 613 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: of justice and you had to decide which of those 614 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: two guys should face the most severe punishment, wouldn't you 615 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: choose for the person who locked themselves inside of a 616 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: building to face a more severe punishment than the guy 617 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: on the public road who decided to burn out on 618 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: a Pride flag. I don't know how we have reached 619 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: a place where defacing a Pride mural is considered a 620 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 1: hate crime when it's on a public street. And again, 621 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't agree with the idea of painting public streets 622 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: with any slogans or do they do Black Lives Matter 623 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: plaza outside of Lafayette Park. 624 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 2: I think that was stupid to do. 625 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 1: I don't think public roads should make and have political 626 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: slogans on them of any degree. But think about the 627 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,959 Speaker 1: two tiered aspect of justice that we have created, where 628 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 1: Democrats try to put you in prison for the rest 629 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: of your life if you upset them, and Republicans for 630 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: the most part, do absolutely nothing to democrats. I'm in 631 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: favor of Lady Justice being blind, that is the aspirational goal. 632 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: But if Lady Justice is clearly peking, if you've basically 633 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: turned the blindfold and ripped it off and you're throwing 634 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: the book at Republicans or conservatives, I'm sorry you have 635 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: to do the same thing to Democrats because that's how 636 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: you actually even the scales. And I was seeing the 637 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,000 Speaker 1: story with what they're doing to people who are burning 638 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: rubber on Pride flags on public streets. They have surveillance 639 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: cameras set up to try to catch people not behaving 640 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: respectfully enough when it comes to driving over the flag 641 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 1: on the road. They are setting traps like a speed trap. 642 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: It's a hate crime trap. They're trying to catch people 643 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:29,319 Speaker 1: not respecting the road enough that they have painted and 644 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 1: people are just saying this is totally fine. By and large, 645 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: people aren't asking the question, which to me is very basic. 646 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: Why do we have to paint roads? Can we fix potholes? 647 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: I live in Nashville. There are potholes everywhere. At a 648 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: cold winter, they still haven't fixed them all. My priority, 649 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 1: call me crazy, of any road is make me able 650 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 1: to drive on it without exploding my tires without having 651 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: to basically be off road trying to hitting big potholes. 652 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,720 Speaker 1: And it seems to me that Democrats are like, no, no, no, 653 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 1: We got to make sure that we have the gay 654 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: pride flag on the road, and if you don't drive 655 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,719 Speaker 1: over it respectfully enough, we're going to try to put 656 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 1: you in prison. 657 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 2: It seems to me you would have. 658 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: A First Amendment argument Again, if you want to argue 659 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 1: that somebody violated the law because they burned rubber because 660 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,839 Speaker 1: they drove too fast, I understand that on some level, 661 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,279 Speaker 1: but that's not what they're doing. They're trying to do 662 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: hate crimes. 663 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,160 Speaker 2: Now. For driving over gay pride flags. 664 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: You create the problem that is make it impossible basically 665 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: to not drive over the flag, and then try to 666 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 1: punish to the full extent of the wall. I haven't 667 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: heard anybody asking why are we painting? But the second part, 668 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: why are we painting the roads? Second part, why in 669 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: the world, Why in the world is this happening? And 670 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: almost no one is speaking out about it at all. 671 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: It's crazy and I would stand on principle on this, 672 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: even if it's for July fourth, we painted the American 673 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: flag on a road. If somebody decided that they wanted 674 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: to disrespect the American flag, I wouldn't agree with it, 675 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 1: but I certainly wouldn't agree with trying to put them 676 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: in prison. I just there are so many crazy things 677 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,439 Speaker 1: that happen every day that I think sometimes we aren't 678 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: paying attention to how crazy they are and to establishing 679 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:38,240 Speaker 1: what is considered appropriate and inappropriate. And they set traps 680 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,439 Speaker 1: and then they spring them, and a lot of people 681 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: don't even realize what's going on. I want to tell you, 682 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,480 Speaker 1: speaking of setting traps, how about the number one trap 683 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 1: out there being that there's almost no testosterone in the 684 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: Biden White House. In fact, sadly, the amount of testosterone 685 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: in the United States is at an all time low. 686 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: You have half of the testosterone that your grandfather or 687 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: great grandfather had. Probably if you are a man listening 688 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: to me right now, guys who stormed the beaches at 689 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: Normandy probably not going to surprise you. They were a 690 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: lot tougher than you were. They had a lot higher 691 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: levels of testosterone.

Appreciate her joining 718 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: us right now. Kelly, let's just start off first of all, 719 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,879 Speaker 1: it's good to talk with you. I think I saw 720 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: you a couple of months ago down in April at 721 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 1: Year event. Really enjoyed speaking at the Greater Georgia event 722 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 1: you put on. I know you're fighting battles every single 723 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: day down in Georgia. How optimistic are you as we 724 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: sit about four and a half months out that Georgia 725 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 1: is going to flip back to a red state and 726 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 1: Trump is going to beat Biden in your state. 727 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 6: Well, client, it's great to be back with you. We 728 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 6: had a blast together in Georgia is so grateful for 729 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 6: you coming down and speaking to hundreds of grassroots activists 730 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,440 Speaker 6: and leaders in Georgia. You know, what we're doing in 731 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 6: Georgia is going to put us in a very different 732 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,400 Speaker 6: position than we were in in twenty twenty. So I 733 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,960 Speaker 6: was just speaking at a Republican lawyers group and we 734 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 6: were talking about how the preparation and the readiness is 735 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 6: so much more informed by what happened in twenty twenty 736 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,919 Speaker 6: and we're looking ahead to win in twenty twenty four. 737 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 6: But it's going to take work every single day on 738 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 6: the ground, and that's what we're doing. We're doing voter roll, cleanup, 739 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 6: voter registration, making sure that kids in colleges know that 740 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 6: the conservative movement is where freedom and opportunity is. We're 741 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,360 Speaker 6: reaching out to the black and Hispanic communities, so we 742 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 6: see that momentum on the ground. We're taking nothing for granted. 743 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 6: And look the polls. The polls look positive, but the 744 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,760 Speaker 6: only one that matters is on November fifth. 745 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:14,920 Speaker 2: No doubt. 746 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,360 Speaker 1: And as you look at those polls and kind of 747 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,040 Speaker 1: think forward June twenty seventh, we've been having a discussion 748 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: about this. You've run for office before, you know, when 749 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: people really kind of start to pay attention. A lot 750 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,479 Speaker 1: of times people say the election actually begins after Labor Day. 751 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: Why is this debate happening six days from now? What 752 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,160 Speaker 1: do you think June twenty seventh tells us about the 753 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: state of this race? H Clay? 754 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,560 Speaker 6: I think it tells us a lot. I think it 755 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 6: tells us that voters are ready for this to happen. 756 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 6: But more importantly, this debate needs to happen because Americans 757 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 6: want to hear the contrast between the two visions and 758 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 6: the two records that have been clearly demonstrated uniquely now 759 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 6: in both presidencies. And you know, I think Democrats are 760 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,000 Speaker 6: a little concerned about what's going on with their candidate, 761 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 6: and I think this is going to be a pressure test, 762 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 6: and it's a huge opportunity to make sure that President 763 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 6: Trump tells the story of his four years in office 764 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 6: how it elevated Americans across the board. And I don't 765 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 6: know how Biden is going to defend his record. I 766 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 6: think it's super critical that we hear from him because 767 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 6: we're in a perilous place in this country. I mean, 768 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,840 Speaker 6: we have unprecedented risks at home and abroad, and he 769 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 6: needs to answer for where he has put this country. 770 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 1: We're talking to Kelly Lefler. All right, Kelly, you owned 771 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 1: a WNBA franchise in Atlanta, and so you know the 772 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 1: struggles to get attention, how difficult it's been to build 773 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: this business for people out there who aren't familiar with 774 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:54,719 Speaker 1: your tenure as the owner of the WNBA franchise in Atlanta. 775 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,840 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark is playing there tonight. I believe there's a 776 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: massive amount of attention for this game, particularly because she's 777 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: bringing that amount of attention. But before we get to 778 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, what was your experience like as a WNBA 779 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,800 Speaker 1: owner and why are you not still a WNBA owner. 780 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,760 Speaker 6: Well, the short answer to your last question is because 781 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 6: the WNBA stopped being about basketball and started being about 782 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 6: partisan politics. But let me tell you, being a team 783 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,200 Speaker 6: owner for a decade was an incredible experience because for 784 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 6: most of that time, the league was about sport and 785 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 6: the uniting power of basketball. And I saw that firsthand 786 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 6: when I lived in Chicago during the nineties during the 787 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 6: Bulls run, I had a fifty dollars standing room only 788 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 6: ticket and it was exciting. I saw how a team 789 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 6: can unite a city, and I wanted to bring that 790 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,719 Speaker 6: spirit of basketball to Atlanta. So for a decade, my 791 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 6: business partner and I were fifty to fifty owners in 792 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 6: the team. And you know, it's interesting that the debates 793 00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 6: in Atlanta. This game tonight is in Atlanta, and that's 794 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 6: exactly where the Olympics were held in ninety six. That 795 00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 6: David Stern, if you remember, the commissioner of the NBA, 796 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,319 Speaker 6: was inspired to create a women's league. And I think 797 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 6: he'd be rolling over in his grave right now if 798 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 6: he saw that what Caitlin Clark brings to the league 799 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 6: and how she's being treated, because at that time, we 800 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,880 Speaker 6: would have done anything to have a player like that, 801 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,720 Speaker 6: a phenom, a sensation, And the WNBA is effectively turning 802 00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,319 Speaker 6: their back on her. She's been shunned from the Olympics, 803 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 6: and they're defending all her detractors in the league. So 804 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,919 Speaker 6: it's really puzzling that we have this great player that's 805 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 6: elevating the game, that is responsible for one third of 806 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,240 Speaker 6: ticket sales in a league that's reportedly losing fifty million dollars, 807 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,280 Speaker 6: and it could really help restore and actually save the league. 808 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 1: You had issues in the WNBA because you had a 809 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: crazy idea and you just kind of hinted at that, Hey, 810 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,320 Speaker 1: this league should bring everybody together. If I remember correctly, 811 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: your issues with the WNBA to a large extent dealt 812 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 1: with them going all in on BLM, and what I 813 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: think is one of the craziest stories of the entire 814 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,359 Speaker 1: twenty twenty sports calendar year for people out there who 815 00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: have forgotten the individual, and I believe was Waukeshaw, Wisconsin 816 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: who was shot. He was armed with a knife. He 817 00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:25,839 Speaker 1: was a person who had abused women. The woman who 818 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 1: he had abused called asking for police come to protect her, 819 00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 1: and all of the WNBA women wrote his name on 820 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 1: the T shirts that they made and protested the police 821 00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin showing up to protect that woman. I felt 822 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 1: like I was taking crazy pills. You had two as well. 823 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,800 Speaker 6: I did. Because the WNBA was formed to empower women, 824 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,240 Speaker 6: to inspire young girls. I was a young girl playing 825 00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 6: in sports that we didn't really have women role models, 826 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 6: but I loved Michael Jordan and to see women standing 827 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,240 Speaker 6: up for a their women would have been really amazing. 828 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 6: But they insisted on partnering with this BLM organization. Marxist 829 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 6: leadership self avowed Marxists, put a Marxist on the WNBA 830 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 6: Social Justice Committee, and BLM was all about defunding the police. 831 00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 6: And at that time, I said, we need to use 832 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,040 Speaker 6: sports for unity. And I think we all remember during 833 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 6: twenty twenty when the Last Dance played on ESPN during 834 00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 6: the pandemic and everyone was so excited. It brought people together. 835 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 6: But the WNBA went against that and said, no, we're 836 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 6: going to stand with BLM and not stand with the 837 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 6: basketball and the bigger community. So I was the only 838 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 6: sports team owner to stand up and speak out against 839 00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,320 Speaker 6: it and say we should unite around the American flag. 840 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 6: We can use this to bring people together, to inspire 841 00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 6: people through these challenging times. And for that, they attacked 842 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 6: me and tried to cancel me, and I refused to 843 00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,240 Speaker 6: bend the knee. 844 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 1: Well, it's super brave and I'm glad you're telling that 845 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: story to the extent this audience hasn't heard it. We're 846 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 1: talking to former US Senator Greater Georgia chairwoman Kelly Leffler. 847 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,399 Speaker 1: All right, tonight, Kaitlin Clark is coming to Atlanta. Why 848 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 1: do you think the WNBA has tripped all over itself? 849 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 1: In the way that they have responded to Caitlin Clark. 850 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,040 Speaker 1: What is the story here? And certainly I think, but 851 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: I'm curious what your opinion is. Is it about something 852 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: other than basketball itself? 853 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,000 Speaker 6: Well, it shouldn't be. The story is Caitlin Clark can 854 00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 6: save the WNBA if the WNBA can get politics out 855 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 6: of the way. But they can't because they won't let it. 856 00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 6: You know, if you look at what Caitlyn Clark has 857 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,959 Speaker 6: done in terms of bringing attention a spotlight viewership record 858 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,080 Speaker 6: viewership was just hit last week with three million people 859 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 6: watching the sky Fever game. Arenas are selling out when 860 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 6: she plays there. Nike has given her a something like 861 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 6: twenty eight million dollar contract, and she's a great player. 862 00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 6: She's all about basketball, but she's not about the leftist 863 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 6: political ideology that the league wants everyone to bow down to. 864 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,399 Speaker 6: And so they're you know, seeing the challenges of that 865 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 6: where players are lashing out against Caitlyn. Caitlyn is rising 866 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 6: above it. She's playing through it. She's one of the 867 00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 6: fiercest competitors out there. She can take the physicality, she 868 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 6: can take the toughness. We've even had to have a 869 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 6: congressman from Indiana write a letter to the league that says, 870 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,279 Speaker 6: wait a minute, you know, it feels like there's a 871 00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 6: player that's being treated differently. Meanwhile all the other players 872 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 6: are saying, well, she gets special whistles, and I just say, Okay. 873 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 6: That's when you know they actually don't have an answer 874 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 6: for her skill level, because if you're blaming it on 875 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 6: the refs, she has a record. You can look at 876 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 6: her stats right now. She's one of the top players 877 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,359 Speaker 6: in the league. She's certainly the best rookie in the league, 878 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,880 Speaker 6: and she's been overtly left off of the Olympic roster. 879 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,399 Speaker 6: So look, she still has a chance to save the league. 880 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 6: The league can recover from this if they embrace her 881 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,200 Speaker 6: and elevate her just like every other player. But we 882 00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,560 Speaker 6: haven't seen that happening yet. 883 00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 1: You've been a really successful entrepreneur in your career. I'm 884 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 1: curious how you would assess this because sometimes it seems 885 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 1: to me that people would rather be part of a 886 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,680 Speaker 1: small company or entity that they have control over than 887 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,200 Speaker 1: build something truly massive. And you mentioned Jordan in the 888 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: Last Dance and going to watch him play fifty dollars 889 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 1: tickets in Chicago. To me, that's a perfect example, Jordan 890 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 1: and Larry Bird and Magic Johnson came into the league 891 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 1: and they changed it forever and made people care about 892 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,000 Speaker 1: the NBA that might not have before. We just saw 893 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 1: one more recently in the late nineties, Tiger Woods came 894 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: into the PGA and brought a brand new audience and 895 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: took the PGA to a different level than golf had 896 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,879 Speaker 1: ever been before. Why do you think the WNBA, which 897 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 1: you know better than anybody, has been begging and starved 898 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: for attention and trying to make people care about their sport, 899 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: has been given this Tiger Woods like gift and tripped 900 00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 1: all over it. 901 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 6: Well, and let me even add one more example, and 902 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,719 Speaker 6: I've had a commissioner with it. A conversation with NBA 903 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,160 Speaker 6: Commissioner Adam Silver about this his vision for the WNBA. 904 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 6: Look at what Venus and Serena Williams did for tennis, 905 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 6: the audiences they brought in, they banded that sport that 906 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 6: could have been tremendous. The fact is Caitlin Clark does 907 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 6: not fit the mold that they want in the WNBA. 908 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 6: She doesn't bring the inter sectional qualities that they think 909 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,560 Speaker 6: are required to put on a pedestal. And they want 910 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:33,239 Speaker 6: to make sure that they preserve this left wing ideology, 911 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:34,719 Speaker 6: and if you don't buy into it and you don't 912 00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 6: promote it, then you can't be promoted on their platform. 913 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 6: And that's just really tragic for the league and for 914 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 6: the valuations of the teams. I think, you know, if 915 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 6: that's going to hold them back, it's a shame because 916 00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 6: here we have a talented player that's potentially influencing thousands 917 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 6: of other young girls who want to be part of athletics. 918 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,439 Speaker 6: Maybe not basketball, maybe it's tennis or golf, but they 919 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,120 Speaker 6: want to see that there's a chance for them to succeed. 920 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 6: And yet we have WNBA players going down the road 921 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,560 Speaker 6: of advocating to allow men in sports. They're writing op 922 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,439 Speaker 6: ed after op ed about it, and this is where 923 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 6: the league stands right now, and it's not heading in 924 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,640 Speaker 6: the right direction given the platform they've been offered. 925 00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,360 Speaker 1: Would you have ever believed you said you grew up 926 00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 1: playing sports. I know a lot of people out there 927 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 1: listening did as well. Would you ever believe that we'd 928 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,439 Speaker 1: find a place where a woman like Dawn Staley, who 929 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,680 Speaker 1: is probably right now the most prominent women's coach in 930 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 1: all of college I think that's fair to say, would 931 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:33,759 Speaker 1: be saying, hey, if you're a man who identifies as 932 00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,279 Speaker 1: a woman, you should be able to come and get 933 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,439 Speaker 1: a women's scholarship and compete in women's basketball. Like twenty 934 00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 1: years ago, would you have believed this would have ever 935 00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:40,760 Speaker 1: been possible. 936 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,279 Speaker 6: I can't believe it today, Certainly not twenty years ago. 937 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 6: In fact, before she passed, I had the opportunity to 938 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:55,720 Speaker 6: meet the late great Pat Summit, whot so hard, amazing woman, 939 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,960 Speaker 6: and fought so hard to have women have the same opportunity. 940 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,960 Speaker 6: Now they're virtually trying to hand it to men on 941 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 6: the silver platter. And you know, while the American team 942 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 6: USA is going for their eighth consecutive Olympic gold medal, 943 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 6: who knows the ninth one may not be possible because 944 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 6: there may be a man playing on Team Spain or 945 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 6: you know whatever. So you know, it's one of those 946 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:20,399 Speaker 6: things that it's you can't believe it, and you hope 947 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,360 Speaker 6: that we can get back to normal. But I was 948 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,240 Speaker 6: the first senator in the history of the United States 949 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,840 Speaker 6: to introduce protecting women in girls' sports language in the Senate. 950 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,120 Speaker 6: I could only get a few other Republican senators on 951 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,399 Speaker 6: that bill with me, and it didn't even get brought 952 00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 6: to the floor, and I was criticized for it being 953 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,759 Speaker 6: divisive because everyone said, we don't need a bill to 954 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 6: do that. Well, four years later, we should have had 955 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,680 Speaker 6: that bill because too many girls are getting excluded, too 956 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,400 Speaker 6: many boys are in girls' locker rooms, and now states 957 00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 6: are trying to codify and the federal government through Title 958 00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:58,240 Speaker 6: nine rollbacks, trying to codify allowing men in women's sports 959 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 6: and in men's women's locker rooms, and it's not fair 960 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:02,240 Speaker 6: to young girls. 961 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 2: It's absolutely crazy. Kelly Leffler. 962 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 1: I just came back from Atlanta with my kids, went 963 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 1: and watched the Atlanta Braves play absolutely amazing time. 964 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,240 Speaker 2: Georgia needs to go back red. How can people help. 965 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,480 Speaker 1: If they're listening to you right now and they're around 966 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 1: and they're listening, they're in Georgia or they're around the 967 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:20,959 Speaker 1: country and they want to help what you're doing. 968 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 6: Well, First of all, if you're in Georgia, go to 969 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 6: Greater Georgia dot com sign up to get involved and 970 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 6: we'll get you involved right away.
