00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and everybody, Friday edition of The

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Bucked Sexton Show. A lot of big

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: news and a lot of discussion coming your way. We

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: have right now Joe Biden actually is speaking. We may

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: pick up some of this live as it happens here

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: in a moment, but you have Biden first off, telling

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: everybody how the economy is great, but it's not. But

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna go with that because what else. What else

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: is he gonna say, I'm bad at my job. But

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: it's really supposed to be about signing executive orders this

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: speech which is going on as I'm talking to you

13
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: right now, to protect abortion. Although it's so interesting they

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: always call it abortion access or abortion rights or reproductive rights.

15
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Why not just say abortion If there's no problem with abortion,

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: we all know why. But an executive order they're talking

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: about here to try to give more ease of abortion

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: all across the country at least do whatever they can

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: at the federal level. We'll discuss that. We've also got

20
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: the shocking and really sad announcement of the assassination of

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He was killed early

22
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: Friday morning in western Japan. He was on the campaign

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: trail for other candidates in Japan, somebody who did a

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: lot of great things for his country. Some of the

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: media action to this, of course, shows you how politicized

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: and insane NPR and other news outlets actually have become.

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: This isn't new, but they've been for a while. We

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: will have we will have Senator Haggarty joining us at

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour. Who is the former the

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: former Ambassador to Japan, Clay Do I have that one right?

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: He'll enjouring us to talk about the legacy of shinzo

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: Abe and just what his thoughts are about what this means,

33
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: what can we take away from this? Anytime the political

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: assassination of a figure of this magnitude, I mean globally known,

35
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: there will be reverberations. There is there's a shock wave

36
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: that goes through the psyche of certainly all of our

37
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: allies and all of the rest of the world along

38
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: with it. But first, oh, we have an update for

39
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: you on the bodega worker who was being held in

40
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: prison here in New York City for what seems to

41
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: be on video, a clear case of self defense. We've

42
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: got that story for you. But as Biden is addressing

43
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: the nation right now, actually, you know what can we

44
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: let's we're just going to pick this up for one second.

45
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Here's the president talking right now. This is the horrific

46
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: reality that Rose sought to end the practice of medicine

47
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: should not I should not be frozen in the nineteenth century.

48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: So what happened? The descending opinion says as clear as

49
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: you can possibly say it. Here's the quote. Neither in law,

50
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: nor facts, nor attitudes have provided any new reason to

51
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: reach a different result than Row in case he did.

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: And that has changed. Excuse me, all that's changed is

53
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: this court end of quote. All this change is this court.

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: And I wasn't about the constitution or the law. It

55
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: was about a deep, long seating antipathy toward Row and

56
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: the broader right to privacy, as the Justice wrote in

57
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: their descent. And I quote the majority has overrule rowing

58
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: Casey for one and only one reason, because it has

59
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: always despised them, and now it has the votes to

60
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: discover you get the he's gonna sign you got the idea.

61
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Clay, It's it's like the legal analysis of

62
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: an ignorant, spoiled child, and he's the President of the

63
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: United States does it doesn't even address, first of all,

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: the undermining of the Supreme Court that's going on from

65
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: the White House itself is deeply troubling. We'll talk about

66
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Kavanaugh was just chased out of a restaurant last night

67
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: in DC because of lib fanatics. And here's Joe Biden.

68
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: I thought he was supposed to unite the country. Well,

69
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of people buck In a recent Harvard

70
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Harris Pole said that they do not believe the Supreme

71
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Court should be deciding abortion. And what I would say

72
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: in general about the way I believe this should be

73
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: talked about is, first, if you truly believe in democracy,

74
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: which is what we are constantly being lectured surrounding January sixth,

75
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: Our democracy is under attack. Our sacred institutions are no

76
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: longer able to represent the people. This is the very

77
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: fruition of democracy. Returning Roe v. Wade to the States

78
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, we have fifty state laboratories, let's allow

79
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: this debate to actually be engaged in the political process

80
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: is the very fundamental essence of democracy, which is why

81
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: I think seventy five of the American public in a

82
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: Harvard Harris Pole is saying the Supreme Court shouldn't be

83
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: making this decision. Second part of this, and Buck, I

84
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: think you elucidated this well when the initial leaked opinion

85
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: came down. What this does is turn the conversation from

86
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: should Roe v. Wade be the law of the land

87
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court too? What should the rules and

88
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: regulations and laws look like as it pertains to abortion,

89
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: not Hey, we're ending this conversation because the Supreme Court

90
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: has said in Roe v. Wade this is a constitutional right,

91
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: but instead putting it back to the states and saying,

92
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: let's have some difficult conversations. When should abortion be legal?

93
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: When should it not be legal? And what we've seen, Buck,

94
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: is Democrats in the space of twenty five years have

95
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: gone from abortion should be safe, legal, and rare, which

96
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: was what Joe Biden used to argue, was certainly what

97
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton said to now trying to codify nine months

98
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: where if you decide two days before you're scheduled to

99
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: give delivery that instead you want to have an abortion,

100
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: you can do it in many of these states. And

101
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: if they have codified it by the way, in Colorado,

102
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: for example, they recently made sure that the law explicitly

103
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: says all nine months of her pregnancy anytime you will.

104
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's clear in the text of the law

105
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: that it's for any time, any reason. Ninety percent of

106
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: Americans believe that that should not be permissible, and a

107
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: substantial majority believes nine month abortion is murder. I agree

108
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: with him, and that's why I believe that even people

109
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: like Tim Ryan who are running for Senate in Ohio,

110
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: and Stacy Abraham's down in Georgia, and certainly the Reverend

111
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: Raphael Warnock running against Hershall Walker, these guys and girls

112
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: who are running on the Democrat platform should have to

113
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: answer the question do you believe nine month abortions should

114
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: be legal? Do you believe that should be the case,

115
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,239
Speaker 1: because the vast majority of American public in every state

116
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: and all over the country does not believe that. And

117
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: I can tell you the conversation that I can tell

118
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: you what they will say, and you know what they

119
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: will say, and everyone here has heard what they will say,

120
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: which is, I believe it should be a women's choice.

121
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: It says though they're part of a cult. And this

122
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: is the slogan that they know. They're just supposed to say.

123
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: You're being asked a policy question, right to your to

124
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: your point, Clay, do you think it should be legal

125
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: at nine months? That is the question. They will not say, yes,

126
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: I think it should be legal. They'll never say it.

127
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: They'll say did say he destroyed? He got destroyed for it? Right?

128
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: But I'm saying the smarter ones will say, well, I

129
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: believe it should be a woman's choice, which is another

130
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: way of saying, yes, it should be legal. Joe Biden

131
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: playing this game. It's it's really it's hard to listen

132
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: to these people, even some of them, people that have

133
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: went to you know, Harvard Law School, and they're supposed

134
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: to know something about the law. They act like because

135
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: it was decided, that decision can never change, even though

136
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: that is actually the history of the Supreme Court itself.

137
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: Put it. Put that aside, you know, I mean, what

138
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: do they think of dread Scott, What do they think?

139
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: What do they think of Plessy? Right? Oh, well it

140
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: was decided. Their argument is garbage and they know it.

141
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: But even someone like Joe Biden, he says, oh no,

142
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: we've all settled this, we all know we can play

143
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: video of him ten fifteen years ago saying, well, in

144
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: abortions of tragedies, we want as fuel these as possible.

145
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: Now it's abortions healthcare. It's like it's like having your

146
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: tonsils looked at. I mean, they want the power. They

147
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: want to achieve the power through lying about this, to

148
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: continue to make us all live underlies about this, and

149
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: we just have to fight. We have to fight them

150
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: on this because when people know what's really going on,

151
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: the Democrats lose on this, they lose well. And I

152
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: think that's why the debate over the specific details of

153
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: abortion is now occurring in a way that it was

154
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: not occurring when the argument is should Rove Wade be law,

155
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: And that's why I think Republicans, far from running from this,

156
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: should focus on the fact that this is being sent

157
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: back to the States, and then on the nine month abortion,

158
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: on the third trimester abortion, where if you're like me

159
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: and you have been fortunate to have kids, I will

160
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: tell you Buck and I hope you know one day

161
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: you get to experience this as well, when you go

162
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: through having kids and you get to find out the

163
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: sex and you get to see the heartbeat through the

164
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: sonogram and everything else. It changes it from a philosophical

165
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: debate for many people, which I think a lot of

166
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: people out there. If you're young, you're in your teens,

167
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: you're in your twenties, and you're listening to us talk

168
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: about issues like these until you actually go through the

169
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: process of having a baby and hopefully get to go

170
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: through the process of having a baby multiple times. And

171
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: by having a baby, I mean the person that you're

172
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: with has the baby. Because all I did was stand

173
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: and watch the delivery three different times. But I got

174
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: to be in that in that hospital room when the

175
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: baby is being born. It's such a miraculous experience that

176
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: is hard to even explain if you haven't been through it.

177
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: Getting to go in, finding the sex out, being so

178
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: concerned about all the testing that is being done to

179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: make sure that your baby is healthy and the mom

180
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: is healthy all throughout that process, it will change you.

181
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: And I think the conversations are complex, they're difficult, and look,

182
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: I think people who are of good spirit and good

183
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: mind can come to different opinions on a variety of

184
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: different aspects here. But to me, nine month pregnancy, seven month,

185
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: eighth month, when the baby can survive outside the womb,

186
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: that's murder. I think the Democrat leadership is monstrous on

187
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: this issue. I mean, honestly morally moved really wildly in

188
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: there from talking about where they are now where they

189
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: are today. Yeah, what will Joe Biden say on this?

190
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: What will Tamala Harris? What do they say? What are

191
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: they saying right now? What does Elizabeth Warren say? What

192
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: does Chuck Schumer say? What does Nancy Pelosi say? These

193
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: people on the issue of life in the womb are

194
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: moral monsters. It's we just have to face up to that, folks.

195
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: They Elizabeth Warren thinks that crisis pregnancy centers wish women harm. Yeah,

196
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: I saw that like a psychopath. I mean, this is

197
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: what the Democrat party. And I know it's hard for

198
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: people to process this, to think about this. How can

199
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: we've only got two major political parties in this country,

200
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: sorry libertarians, how can people actually process that one political

201
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: party has been so monstrously morally in the wrong on

202
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: this issue for decades and in recent years just to

203
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: the point where it's like psychopathy on display. Well, now

204
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: we finally have a chance to fight back against this

205
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: and to change the law to at least reflect what

206
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: you're talking about which is a basic sanity, right. I

207
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: mean we may, yes, it may not be life protected

208
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: everywhere always as the pro life movement, by the way

209
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: wants it to be. But at least it'll be a

210
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: lot closer to something where there can be some discussion

211
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: about this. There's no discussion about whether a baby that

212
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: has a heart and fingers and you know, a heartbeat

213
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: and a brain is a baby. We got to get

214
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: past that third trimester is to me not a real

215
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: debate that should exist. And that's why I take it

216
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: outside of abortion because it's so charged. And yesterday I

217
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: think I use the estill the baby that gets shot

218
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: in the woman that they treat that as hamaside. You

219
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: have to treat it as a murder like I don't

220
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: understand how you wouldn't and a double murder if the

221
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: mom and the baby who would otherwise survive are killed.

222
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: And that becomes a really difficult, I think argument for

223
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Democrats to make. There's an incongruity with the way they

224
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: talk about this as just a healthcare procedure that's no

225
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: big deal. You know, if somebody were to slip a

226
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: woman an abortion drug. You know, this has been something

227
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: that has come up before against or wishes. I do

228
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: believe there are jurisdictions that will prosecute that as manslaughter.

229
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean right, I mean you think about are the

230
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: mom and you are the dad who are sitting around.

231
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: I can just tell you how devastating it is if

232
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: you threat I'll give you an example, Buck, when I

233
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: was in the delivery room for my second kid. Everything

234
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: was going smooth, and suddenly the obstetrician there who was

235
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: delivering the baby said his heart rate is starting to drop.

236
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: We think the cord might be caught around his neck.

237
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: And they said, we need all the nick you people

238
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: rushed in here. So when you are there and you're

239
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: expecting a totally normal birth and suddenly they bring in

240
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: the entire nick you squad. I have never experienced a

241
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: fear like that ever before in my life. And so

242
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: when you have, and I know a lot of people

243
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: out there listening to us right now have probably been

244
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: through far worse than this, associated with deliveries and everything

245
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: associated with that. But that expecting a totally safe, normal

246
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: birth to say, and we were fortunate because everything ended

247
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: up being fine. Our obstetrician handled it. He came out,

248
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: he's one hundred percent healthy. Everything is great, but to

249
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: have that moment from everything is fantastic to oh, my goodness,

250
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: this baby's life might be in danger. This might be

251
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: a really fraught delivery where the nick you is involved.

252
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: It's terrifying on a level that you can't even comprehend

253
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: until you suddenly find yourself in the middle of it.

254
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: And I just I can't conceive of anybody who's gone

255
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: through a pregnancy in the third trimester in any way

256
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: being able to believe that's something other than a baby.

257
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Come back into some of this if we have some

258
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: important sound some of the clips of Joe Biden's speech

259
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: still going on right now. By the way, he's haranguing

260
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: the country over abortion and it's a women's right and

261
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: privacy and all this stuff. We can also get into

262
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: the bodega employee here in New York who defended himself

263
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: some movement in the right direction. In that case, at

264
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: least we'll talk about that. There's an endless number of

265
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,119
Speaker 1: people who are sending us letters and emails with compliments

266
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: about our amazing sponsor relief factor. One after another. The

267
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: story's changed, but they all end the same way. Finally,

268
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: people have broken free of the chronic pain that was

269
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: keeping them from leading a full life. We've even seen

270
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: at Clay and I in our own families. Relief Factor

271
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: was created by doctors and perfected by over fifteen years

272
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: of scientific research with four key ingredients. Relief Factor is

273
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: a one hundred percent drug free product that addresses joint pain,

274
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: that kind of pain you feel in your knees, hips, back,

275
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: neck and shoulders. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered

276
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: relief Factor, and about seventy percent of them go on

277

284
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: break down many of these stories, including evidently Brett Cavanahaw

285
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: can't even have a steak. Oh but wasn't a well

286
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: done steak by the way, buck, but he got chased

287
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: out of Morton's in Washington, DC. We'll talk about that

288
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the program, but we are

289
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: going to be joined in the next segment here by

290
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee Senator Bill Haggerty, former Ambassador to Japan, talk about

291
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: a shocking story that happened late last night as many

292
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: of you were either in bed or getting ready to

293
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: go to bed, Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot

294
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: and assassinated while he was campaigning in a street in Japan.

295
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: Unprecedented level of political violence, violence in general is rare

296
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: in Japan. First assassination since the nineteen thirties of a

297
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: political figure, and so we are going to discuss us

298
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: with Senator Haggerty what this means for Japanese United States relations,

299
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: what former Prime Minister Abe was like, based on the

300
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: relationship that Bill Haggerty had with him when he was

301
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: an ambassador, and contextualize what the overall impact could be

302
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: as China continues to attempt to exert its strong influence

303
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: in the Pacific region. What will this do to Japanese

304
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: American relations? If anything, it's a big discussion. Buck you

305
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: were in the CIA. He's not the Prime minister right now,

306
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: but was an incredibly influential figure. Yeah, we'll be talking

307
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: about that in just a moment, and a lot more

308
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: news stories as well that we've got to break down

309
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,760

Speaker 1: eight two two eight eight two if you want to

Speaker 1: call in on the phone line. And as we had

334
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: just had a few moments ago, the Prime Minister of Japan,

335
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: Shinzo former Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe was assassinated

336
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: early this morning in Japan. And we have somebody now

337
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: who knew him and who understands the political situation and

338
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: in his tragic day, can explain to us a bit

339
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: of what's going on here. Senator Bill Haggerty from Tennessee,

340
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: who was also formerly the US Ambassador to Japan. Senator Hagherty,

341
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: thanks for thanks for joining us against sir. Certainly, certainly

342
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: it is a sad day, though I must say I

343
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: was called right after the Prime minister was shot. We

344
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: were all just in shock, praying that he would survive.

345
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: It's a tragic day not only for Prime Minister Abe,

346
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: his family, for the nation of Japan, frankly for the

347
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: US Japan Alliance. He may have been the best known

348
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Prime Minister of Japan on the world stage since World

349
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: War Two. Senator Haggerty, what do you think people should

350
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,479
Speaker 1: when they're thinking about Abe, his legacy and what he

351
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: did for that country, what should we all know? Well,

352
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think he's the most consequential

353
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: leader that Japan has had since World War Two. Interestingly,

354
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: he's the first Prime Minister of Japan that was born

355
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: after World War Two. He's also the longest serving Prime

356
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: minister to Japan. I was very fortunate to be the

357
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: US Ambassador to Japan starting in nineteen seventy nineteen, sorry,

358
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, when President Trump appointed me to be his

359
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: representative to Japan, and I worked very closely with the

360
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Abe. If I look at what we accomplished

361
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: from that point forward, as you were called, North Korea

362
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: had really ratcheted things up. It began back in twenty

363
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: sixteen with multiple tests, and back at that point in time,

364
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: the Obama administration was deploying what they called strategic patients.

365
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: I guess that means looking the other way. North Korea

366
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: completely ramped up during that period. We were left to

367
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: deal with that. In fact, President Obama one President Trump

368
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: that North Korea would be as biggest challenge coming into office,

369
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: and he certainly delivered on that promise. Prime Minister Abbe

370
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: was an incredible ally. At that point. We put in

371
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: place three consecutively stronger sets of economic sanctions on North Korea,

372
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: stronger sanctions than North Korea had ever seen. That was

373
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: the maximum pressure campaign, and you remember how heavily it

374
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: ramped up, but we pushed it, pushed it, pushed it,

375
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: and got that to a place where we had no

376
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: more tests, and you know, really went from a position

377
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: of maximum tension in the region to one where we

378
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: had the first ever leader to leader meeting between President

379
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: Trump and Kim jungun. But I could not imagine that

380
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: happening without the leadership and support of Prime Minister Abbe

381
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: because his help on the United Nations Security Council meant

382
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: that we were able to impose those sanctions right away,

383
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: bringing along Russia and China might add, and putting those

384
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: sanctions in place was terribly important. Senator appreciate you joining us.

385
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: I know it's tough for anyone who had known him well.

386
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: He seems to have been an incredibly well liked and

387
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: respected figure, certainly in the Pacific Rim, but also now

388
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: when you look at the challenges that China is attempting.

389
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: I think I saw this morning that they were continuing

390
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: to basically fly planes more and more into this is

391
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: China into the Taiwan space. When you look at the

392
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: strategic imperatives that are at play here, what does Abe's

393
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: death mean in the larger context of United States Pacific relations?

394
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: And what do you think China's goal is here? Buck

395
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: and I talked a lot about m I five and

396
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 1: the FBI joint press conference and statement that they put out.

397
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: What should Americans know about China's perspectives and intent right now? Well,

398
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: I think Prime Minister saw this earlier than most world

399
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: leaders play. If you think about it, he was the

400
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: one that articulated the free and open endo Pacific strategy

401
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: long before others. We're talking about the real threat that

402
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: China posed, and if you think about it, President Trump

403
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: was the one that changed that entire dynamic back in

404
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen when he began to talk about China in

405
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: a way that I certainly appreciated, but few Americans would

406
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: have thought of at that point. And if you'd asked

407
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: the average American in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, you know

408
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: as China our friend or as China our adversary. They

409
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: probably would have said T shirts, you know, things at

410
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: Walmart that we get China's our friend. In fact, President

411
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: Trump changed that dynamic here in America. But Prime Minister

412
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: Abbey started that conversation before that when he articulated the

413
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: free and open end of a Pacific strategy. That was

414
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: the foundation of what we now call the Quad. That's

415
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: the alliance that we have between the United States, Japan,

416
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: Australia and India. Abe put a tremendous amount of time

417
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: bringing India into the fold. I was with Abbe and

418
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Modi of India, you know, in meetings, watching

419
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the personal relationship that those two gentlemen built. I saw

420
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: the relationship that Prime Minister Abbe and President Trump had.

421
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: It was the strongest relationship I think President Trump enjoyed

422
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: with any world leader. And I did everything I could

423
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: in my power to make certain that that relationship got

424
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: stronger every time. So as we look forward, just I

425
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: think we need to give a lot of credit to

426
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Abe in terms of his vision of needing

427
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: the need to keep the Indo Pacific free and open

428
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: and away from the You know and clear of the

429
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: sort of influence that China is trying to impose throughout

430
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: the region. I was just with Prime Minister Abe in

431
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: April of this year, and he was very clear with

432
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: me that the policy of strategic patients, you know, that

433
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: that had been deployed by the Obama administration was bankrupt.

434
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: He was also questioning whether our policy of strategic ambiguity

435
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: relating to Taiwan was one that was going to work

436
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: going forward, particularly given what's happened in Afghanistan. The fact

437
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: that many of our allies now don't trust us, you know,

438
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: the Biden administration has caused many people to wonder. After Afghanistan,

439
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: I think where we stand, and I've encouraged this administration

440
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 1: to stand strong in Asia. The Biden administration is, you know,

441
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: pushing forward. They've actually elevated the Quad to a higher

442
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: level now where where it's leader to leader level meetings.

443
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: I've encouraged that. I want to support them where I

444
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: can because it's in our national interest to do this.

445
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: But we have got to be strong at this point,

446
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: and the Taiwan situation with respect to China is going

447
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: to be the biggest flashpoint we may experience, so what's

448
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: happening in What happened in Afghanistan, I think precipitated this

449
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: massive step up by China and the Taiwan straight. They're

450
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: watching great carefully what happens in Ukraine right now. This

451
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: is all a matter of great concern, and going forward,

452
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: I think we're going to miss a leap like I'm

453
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: gonna strabe. We're speaking to Senator Bill Haggerty of Tennessee,

454
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: former US Ambassador to Japan under former President Trump. Senator Haggerty,

455
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: you may have seen this right away. There were some

456
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: efforts from left wing media outlets to take political stances

457
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: or to frame this assassination in a very specific way.

458
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: The one that got the most attention, I think was NPR.

459
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: They initially from their official account, said former Japanese Prime

460
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: Minister Shinzo Abe a divisive arch conservative. And there were

461
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: others too who seemed to be taking this position that

462
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: Abe was an ultra conservative. There was something concerning to

463
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: them about what he did when he was in power.

464
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: Why did Democrats have a problem, Why did they have

465
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: a problem with this man? I mean, they didn't even

466
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: let any of this, There was no mourning period, there

467
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: was nothing. They immediately sought to pass some judgment. What

468
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: is it that we need to know about how he

469
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: upset democrats, some left wing democrats in this country. I

470
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: think it's reprehensible anytime the word conservative is used, you've

471
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: got the left wing and their allies in the media

472
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 1: that just want to condemn it and jump on it.

473
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: If you think about Abe, he was a great uniter.

474
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: He's the one that brought together the Endopacific strategy, one

475
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: that brought India into the folds. He's the one that

476
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: pulled Australia and you know, his own nation together with

477
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: the United States, strengthening the relationship there and one of

478
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: the most vital, one of the most strategic areas in

479
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: the world. Prime Ministrabe has been a leader, and he's

480
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: done that by uniting, not by dividing, but bringing allies together.

481
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: I think, you know, they'll point to, you know, you know,

482
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: particular issues. There have been political issues between South Korea

483
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: and Japan for years. That's a difficulty that has persisted

484
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: through Lee or after leader in Japan. And I've put

485
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: a lot of time and effort into trying to get

486
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: stronger economic ties between those two nations. That's South Korea

487
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: Japan and the United States. Similarly, I think we have

488
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: an opportunity with stronger military ties. We get along very

489
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: well with militaries of both nations. The political history there

490
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: is challenging, and I think it's regrettable upon the death

491
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: of strong world leader like this that we've got these

492
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: news outlets that want to jump on the polo ticks

493
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: immediately try to take signs and not stand back and

494
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: recognize the incredible impact and as I said, this leader,

495
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Abe will be the viewed as I think

496
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: the most consequential leader in post World War two history

497
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: for Japan and the impact of it's going to be

498
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: fought for generations going forward. Senator Haggerty, we appreciate the

499
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: time on short notice reacting to the death of Prime

500
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: Minister Abbe, and we hope you have a fantastic weekend.

527
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: having a good early start to your weekend. So Joe

528
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: Biden spoke, it's probably about to hop on a plane

529
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: and fly or a helicopter or whatever. Hop to the

530
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: beach in Delaware would be my expectation, which is why

531
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: they have him talking earlier in the day. Also earlier

532
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: in the day, he's not having to go to bed

533
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: and get this is just embarrassing, Buck. I want to

534
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 1: play these couple of cuts for you guys. First of all,

535
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: we'll play the short one. Joe Biden tries to say

536
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: district of Columbia and fifty states, reading off of a teleprompter.

537
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: Remember they had the monster sized teleprompter because to make

538
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: sure he can see it. This is what Joe Biden

539
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: sounded like, reading how many states we have and where

540
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: he is located. Listen to this right now and all there.

541
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, Buck, I know that people misspeak,

542
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: certainly everybody out there listening to us. Can we play

543
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: that one more time? I misspeak all the time. You

544
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: misspeak all the time. We're on the air for three

545
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: hours plus we were doing Hannity last night together. But

546
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: at least we were not dressed in the exact same

547
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: out I'm always excited when I say that we have

548
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: not showed up in our twin outfits. I chose a

549
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: crazy colored jacket a little bit because I was like,

550
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: there's no way Buck's going to be wearing plum. But

551
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: let's listen to this. Let's listen to this one more time,

552
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: Joe Biden talking about the country. Listen right now, only

553
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: thirty more months, all right, So that's ridiculous. He's reading

554
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: off of a teleprompter he can't even read. But now, Buck,

555
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: we need to put together an unfortunate list of all

556
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: the different times he's done this. He's reading the commands

557
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: that they are writing to him in the teleprompter. Remember

558
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: when he said at the end of his State of

559
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: the Union, go get him and everybody was like, why

560
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: is that randomly there? Because I think it was a

561
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: statement that somebody needed to go get him off of

562
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: the off of the rost room there in the House

563
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: of Representatives. In the news business, where we do have

564
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: to read off prompters sometimes, or at least people who

565
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: are anchors and do their shows on TV, will we

566
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: call this going with the full ron Burgundy, where you'll

567
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: just read whatever's in front of you. You know, you

568
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: just you put in a prompter, Burgundy will read it,

569
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: which is really funny. If you haven't seen Anchorman, you

570
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: don't know what we're talking about. But we found out that,

571
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: by the way, that Rod Burgundy podcast that they advertise

572
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: sometimes during our show, they cowherd in Us are like

573
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: the three most downloaded podcasts at iHeart, And evidently there's

574
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you out there that love the Rod

575
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: Burgundy voice. So here is Joe Biden reading. Listen carefully,

576
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: he is reading the instructions that they are giving him

577
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: inside of the teleprompter. They want him to read what

578
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: he just said again for emphasis. Listen, it is not

579
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: worthy that the percentage of women who registered to vote

580
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: and cast a ballot is consistently higher than the percentage

581
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: of the men who do so. End of quote. Repeat

582
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: the line. Women are not without electoral man or political

583
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: or all right, So you should say that end of quote,

584
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: which is weird in and of itself, that he's reading

585
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: end of quote, right, That is a strange behavior. But

586
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: then let's listen to that first like six seconds again.

587
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: This is a sign this dude, he's gone full Ron Burgundy,

588
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: but at least Ron Burgundy was back in the anchorman

589
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: days being played for laughs. He wasn't the leader of

590
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: the free world. Just the first like six or seven

591
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: seconds again, so you can clearly hear what he's doing.

592
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: He's reading end of quote, and then repeat that line.

593
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: These are instructions to him. It is not worthy that

594
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: the percentage of women who registered to vote and cast

595
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: a ballot is consistently higher than the percentage of the

596
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: men who do so. End of quote. The line all right,

597
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this is sad and embarrassing. I would think

598
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: that he would have read this beforehand and they would

599
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: have said, hey, we want you to emphasize what you

600
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: just said. Repeat the line. This is a quote. You know.

601
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: There's very good piece in the New York Post as well.

602
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: Um that that I'm trying to track it down. I

603
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: think it was. It wasn't our who's our our friend

604
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: from Fox usually comes on to talk about all things Biden.

605
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 1: It was a different author, but it's about how Miranda,

606
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: Miranda Vine's great, She's on with us a lot. It

607
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: was a different author I think was Maureen Callahan. Does

608
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: that sound right? Okay? But but I read the piece

609
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: this morning, and it was all about how the Biden family,

610
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 1: very much like the Kennedy family, is an absolute mess,

611
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: yes of corruption and kind of really unethical, gross behavior

612
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: and all. And you know, Joe Biden. You never hear

613
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden has had a staffer when he was

614
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: a senator, a person who worked for him, not a

615
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: person who made believe that she saw him fifty years

616
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: ago and you know, had no contact with him whatsoever,

617
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: accused him of sexual assault. Never hear that anymore. You

618
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: look all across the Biden family. Hunter Biden, did you

619
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: see this stuff yesterday about he's in like a deprivation

620
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: tank as part of his sato therapy and he's smoking

621
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: crack in the in the deprivation which is like the

622
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: oper This is like going into rehab and bringing your

623
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: crack pipe with you. And the media has no and

624
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: he's getting millions of dollars from China. Apparently we sold

625
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: oil to a company that is Tie affiliated, you know,

626
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: the tie to Hunter Biden and the company that he

627
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: set up in the billions of dollars. This is the

628
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, they are Strategic Reserve and Buck. We played

629
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: that audio of Joe Biden calling and saying I think

630
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: you're in the clear. How many times have you ever

631
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: said to somebody who didn't do anything wrong, I think

632
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 1: you're in the clear. But ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC.

633
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: None of those networks even covered the Biden voicemail to

634
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden saying I think you're in the clear. It

635
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: is almost as if the stories don't exist, and if

636
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: you're a left wing voter, you might not know that

637
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: they exist. This is why our audience keeps growing, because

638
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: at least we tell you what's true. The President of

639
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: the United States has a crackhead son who takes millions

640
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: of dollars from our biggest global enemies under the pretense

641
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: that he has business advice for them. And this is

642
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: when he's not impregnating strippers and pretending he's not the

643
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: father Clay. We could go all day with this stuff. Man,

644
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 1: media doesn't care. Just go with the Biden mythology, just

645
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: like they did with Camelot, except this is seedier. How

646
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: about you can't even have Supreme Court justices, he gets

647
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,479
Speaker 1: state dinners. We'll talk about it. Fleet Travis and Buck
