1 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 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome on in second hour of The 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Cities are having a 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: rough one last couple of years all of the country. 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: I know we have listeners in cities all over America, 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: so you know what I'm talking about. Crime rates way up. 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: We often focus on the violent crime issue. Will get 8 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: to some of that at a moment, but also the 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: day to day quality of life crimes and the cleanliness 10 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: of streets, the ability to walk down the street and 11 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: not step over needles that have been used for illegal 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: drug use, to step do not have to step over 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 1: human waste and refuse to put it in polite terms. 14 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: Places like San Francisco have had major problems with this, 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: and you may have seen over the weekend this video 16 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: is up on the Daily Mails up on Foxnews dot 17 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: com of elementary school kids getting off the bus and 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: having to walk through a crowd of homeless drug addicts. 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: This is in broad daylight, just shooting up. Richie Wynn, 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: who is a recovering addict self describer covering addict, posted 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: this video of San Francisco's open air drug market. And 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: now I know people are going to say, well, what 23 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: what are we supposed to do or what should they 24 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: do about this? You know, we don't want to lock 25 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: people up forever. There is, in fact a middle ground 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: between putting someone in prison for decades for drug use 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: and not encouraging them to shoot up heroin in broad 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: daylight in front of school children. There are middle grounds, 29 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: there are things that can be done. And I think 30 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: one of the big lies that was told by the 31 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: defund the police and mass incarceration democrats was that your 32 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: choices are locked somebody up for thirty years for non 33 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: violent crime and do nothing. You're seeing this in San Francisco. 34 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: I even play I tweeted about this last week. It 35 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: was a fascinating exercise and how there's a left wing 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: mindset that they want to go and defend any kind 37 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: of criminality as as just suck it up, deal with it. 38 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: Why is it a big deal? In New York you 39 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: have these they're not even really biker gangs, because they're 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: on ATVs like the kind that some of you do, 41 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, off roading ATVs in rural areas on New 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: York City streets, and they have illegal dirt bikes that 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: they'll get a hundred of them together. It makes an 44 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: incredible amount of noise. I mean like shakes the windows 45 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: of everyone. They drive past, and they get into these 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: mobs and they drive around, and it's illegal in fact 47 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: to do this. You're not allowed to do this. But 48 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: people say, oh, what's the big deal, what's the big deal? 49 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: The big deal, Clay is, as we know, criminality and 50 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: the decay of major cities has been encouraged by a 51 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: Democrat party that sees these things somehow as I don't 52 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: know what we deserve, what we need to suffer through 53 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: collectively as a society. They're facing real political consequences for 54 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: this now and I think people have finally decided enough 55 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: is enough. Yeah, it is. And ultimately to me, there 56 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: are three probably main issues that the twenty two midterms 57 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: are going to be decided on before all is said 58 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: and done. Inflation, gas prices, you can roll all that 59 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: in together, crime, and I still think COVID is going 60 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: to be a underlying vote for a lot of people. Now. 61 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: There are other issues foreign policy, certainly failures of the 62 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: Biden administration, what happened in Afghanistan combined with the Ukraine 63 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: Russia war, the border. There are lots of things you 64 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: can point to that are disasters for Joe Biden right now, 65 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: in fact, basically everything that he's touched. But the crime 66 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: on city streets and the random's nature of it. It's 67 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: not just crime because people can get used to the 68 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: idea of there's always going to be a criminal underworld element. 69 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: And if two guys who are involved in uh in 70 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: in illicit activity end up shooting at each other, we 71 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: wish that didn't happen, but it's not necessarily a surprise 72 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: that that would occur. What's happening more and more, and 73 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: you see it in New York City because there's so 74 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: many of these stories that go viral. But New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, La, 75 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: basically every city in America now, middle of the day 76 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: totally innocent people victims, and that didn't happen after we 77 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: got the crime wave under control in the nineties, we 78 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: drove in New York City. It's a great example. Buck 79 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: You said, what was it, twenty six hundred murders a 80 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: year that were happening in one and it went all 81 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: the way down to under three hundred sub three hundred, 82 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: which is an unbelievable success story. And then the success 83 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: became so pronounced that people started to feel so safe 84 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: that they said, oh, now the police are racist. They're 85 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: stopping and then questioning and frisking too many people. And 86 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: there's an owners since that security is here and now. 87 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: And I've been saying for years Buck, being concerned that 88 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: the police are two owners is a luxury of a 89 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: low crime environment, and we don't have that luxury anymore. 90 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: And every American all over this country just about is 91 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: starting to say, we've got to fix this mess. We 92 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: started to have a criminal justice system in the last 93 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: few years. Really BLM took this into a new stratosphere, 94 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: exponentially expanded upon this, or pushed the momentum even further. 95 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: We had a country where, all of a sudden, in 96 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: all of the blue enclaves, which include cities and red stays. 97 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: I would note, I mean you talk to people in Houston, 98 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: talk to people in Dallas, in Austin, they've had terrible 99 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: crime problems in recent years. So this isn't just a 100 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: blue state phenomenon. It's really a city anywhere phenomenon. But 101 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats run effectively every large city in the entire country. 102 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: I mean maybe with one or two exceptions. I think 103 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: Fort Worth is like fifty fifty Democrat Republican. But you 104 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: think of another city that is a quarter of a million, 105 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: a half a million or more, and overwhelming they're all 106 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: Democrat run. But what they decided was that social justice 107 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: and virtue signaling we're going to be running the prosecutor's 108 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: offices and the police commissioner's office. And we see how 109 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: that has played out all over the country. It has 110 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: been misery and despair for the law abiding. And that 111 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: brings me to this this case in New York of 112 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: Jose Alba, who is a sixty two year old bodega 113 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: worker and employee, and now it turns out there's even 114 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: some audio clay where he says he was he was 115 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: assaulted by this individual's now deceased, who was on parole 116 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: for attacking a police officer and had other I believe 117 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: other criminal arrest beyond that. You see it all on 118 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: the video. He thinks that he has a right to 119 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: man handle a person, to assault the person more than 120 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: behind the counter, behind the counter of a effectively a 121 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: small grocery store. And he thinks him it's all on 122 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: very clear video, and he decides that he's going to intimidate, 123 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: he's going to assault, he's going to threaten. The man 124 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: had already Albat already been threatened with a knife by 125 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: the girlfriend came in afterwards, by the way, and did 126 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: stab Alba and was not even arrested for this or 127 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: charged for this in any way. What is the message? 128 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: I ask everybody listening to this. Yeah, there's there's you know, 129 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: there's crime happening, and all these cities across the country. 130 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: In this instance, now there's clear video, it's a national 131 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: news story. What message is Alvin Bragg, the district attorney, 132 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: the progressive sorrows back District Attorney of New York showing 133 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: by charging Jose Alba, a hard working, law abiding Latin America, 134 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: American family man. What is the lesson that is being 135 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,679 Speaker 1: taught to America? Buy this guy being charged with second 136 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: degree murder. You're not allowed to defend yourself. Do the 137 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: dictates of social justice now extend to if a criminal, 138 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: if a thug attacks you, you gotta let it happen. 139 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but there's too much oppression in the country 140 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: and you gotta let it happen to you. In this case, 141 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: because what I can't even think. I don't even know 142 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: what Bragg thinks he's doing here other than criminalizing self defense. 143 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: And I think a couple of details here for people 144 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: who may not have paid attention to this book. This 145 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: guy was working behind the counter. Woman comes in to 146 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: buy potato chips, a bag of chips for her kid. 147 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: Tries to pay, and her card is rejected. So the 148 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: guy says, you've got to put the chips back, you 149 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: didn't pay for them, and she gets upset says I'm 150 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: gonna go get my boyfriend, flashes to your point buck 151 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: a knife as part of this disagreement. The boyfriend comes back. 152 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: This guy's what sixty two years old, sixty one years old, 153 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean close to a senior citizen. Small guy, the 154 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: boyfriend thirty seven years old. I believe, as you mentioned, 155 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: violent felon comes around the counter corners. The owner of 156 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: this employee owners another guy. By the way, He's now 157 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: not allowed to go back to his job because the 158 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: owner is so terrified that the friends of the deceased 159 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: felon will come after him. That doesn't surprise me at all. 160 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: I think we talked about that. I said, I don't 161 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: know how he goes back to work after this, comes 162 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: around the counter corners this employee who has nowhere to go. 163 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: He's already had a knife flashed at him. He shoved 164 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: and pushed into this corner, and he reacts by grabbing 165 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: a knife that happens to be behind the counter, stabbing 166 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: this guy, and he gets charged. Initially, Buck he had 167 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bail, and they tried 168 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: to get five hundred thousand dollars bail before that, And 169 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: you could watch the video yourself. Even Mayor Adams New 170 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: York City has already come out. I don't necessarily think 171 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: this is the right move for politicians in general when 172 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: they are criminal cases proceeding. But the Mayor already came 173 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: out and essentially said, hey, this looks like self defense 174 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: to me, and said that it was wrong the situation 175 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: that was in play here. This is textbook self defense, 176 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: and it is all on video, the entire exchange, and 177 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: now there's audio of it too, so there's no doubt 178 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: as to the facts here. So again I come back 179 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: to this question, what does the District Attorney of America's 180 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, in Manhattan and of America's largest city. What 181 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: does he think he is teaching the people of New 182 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: York or what is he showing them by charging this 183 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: guy with murder? I mean, what is the point of 184 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: this other than to say, when thugs come after you, 185 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: when criminals assault you, you let it happen, or we 186 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: will lock you up, we will send you to prison. 187 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: And anybody who lives in a city with Democrats sorros 188 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: prosecutors has got to think this is now apparently the 189 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: new normal. I am to be physically violated and hope 190 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: that I'm not choked out to death or stabbed by 191 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: the knife that this guy had already They'd already flashed 192 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: the knife at him. He had every reason to believe 193 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: the boyfriend had probably taken the knife from the girlfriend 194 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: and now was coming after and behind. What are we 195 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: to saying other than we are no longer in a 196 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: society worth defending if the people in power, who are 197 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: supposed to have a monopoly on the use of force 198 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: by the state, will not allow you to defend yourself 199 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: in these circumstances. And remember where all of this started. 200 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: They wanted to buy a bag of chips and didn't 201 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: have the money to buy it, and so he told 202 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: them they needed to put the chips back, which is 203 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: what employees are supposed to do in retail establishments when 204 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: people don't have the money to buy. And she was 205 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: furious over the fact that that had occurred and brought 206 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: her boyfriend in to try to rough up this employee 207 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: over sixty years old, who happens to work in this 208 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: little corner convenience store. What do you think, by the way, well, 209 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: what do you think the how do you think this 210 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: case goes if the guy who gets stabbed, because again, 211 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: anybody could get upset in a moment, and you know, right, 212 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: the guy who gets stabbed is a white guy who 213 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: works for a big investment bank and he assaulted this guy. 214 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: Do you think their second degree murder charge is brought 215 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: by Alvin Bragg? No? I think the identity politics plays 216 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: a big role here, and I think honestly, if the 217 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: employee had been a white guy, it would be far 218 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: more explosive than he is. I believe he's from the 219 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: Dominican Republican Latino. He's an immigrant. He is what we 220 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: are encouraging all the time in this country, which is 221 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: law abiding, hard working citizens. People come here through the 222 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: right process, through the right way, work hard for years. 223 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: He had already been assaulted and had guns pulled on 224 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: him and knives pulled on him previously in this store, 225 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: kept showing up, kept doing his job. If we won't 226 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: stand up for jose Alba, who do we stand up 227 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: for and doesn't have massive resources. That's the other thing here. 228 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: And so when they throw the book at him and 229 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: try to get five hundred thousand dollars in bail, effectively, 230 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: what they're saying is you aren't able to leave Rikers 231 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: the prison where he was and as you mentioned, Buck, 232 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: he was stabbed multiple times by this woman as a 233 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: part of the fallout from this fight, and so he 234 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: has wounds that I believe have since become infected after 235 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: he was put in the prison because he didn't get 236 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: the medical treatment that he needed as a guy in 237 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: his sixties based on getting knife wounds. And I believe 238 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: we said it last week when we were discussing it. 239 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: The other thing about this is the guys, what does 240 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: he do for him? By the way, that now that's 241 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: frisal violence. When she came in, there was there wasn't 242 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: an imminent threat against She should be a boyfriend, She 243 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: should be charged, Yes, but she has not been charged. 244 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: Why is that the case? But this poor guy, now, 245 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: who did it? Unleash any of this? All he said was, hey, 246 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: put the chips back, you can't pay for them. Now 247 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: this guy is unable to go back to his job 248 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: buck and where is he going to be able to work? 249 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: I don't know how many other convenience stores. Most of 250 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: these guys don't own a lot of them. How is 251 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: he going to be able to make a living going forward? 252 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: This is just it feels like a total miscarriage. And 253 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: Go and Go fund may pull down his defense fund. 254 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: Of course they would. That's right. They should not allowed 255 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: to raise money for your defense in this country. Innocent 256 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: until proven guilty does not count when wokeness is involved. 257 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: I hope and I bet there are a bunch of 258 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: defense attorneys in the New York area who listened to 259 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: this show. My hope is that jose Alba is going 260 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: to have great legal representation and somebody will be willing 261 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: to represent him on a pro bono basis. You know 262 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: that he tells on no no, But I was going 263 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: to say one other thing to add into this is 264 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: that on the legal side, Lez Eldon, who's the Republican 265 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: candidate for governor who's a good guy, A good candidate, 266 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: has been a good congressman. He keeps making the promise 267 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: he will fire Alvin Bragg, the district attorney, on day 268 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: one when he becomes the governor. I think for a 269 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: lot of people, that's compelling. I think it should be compelling. Oh. 270 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: I hope somebody out there who's listening to us right 271 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: now in the New York area would reach out and 272 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: be willing to give their legal representation for free to 273 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: a man who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it. 274 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: On nine to eleven, our nation lost nearly three thousand 275 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: people killed in a terror attack in American soil.

Biden was talking about 295 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: the gun shooting incidents, the new bill that was passed 296 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: that probably is not going to have much of an 297 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: impact on anything. They had a ceremony outside the White House. 298 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: Biden is reading off the teleprompter. The shooting in South 299 00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: Florida at Marjorie Stoneman High happened in twenty eighteen. Presumably 300 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: the teleprompter says twenty eighteen. Here's Joe Biden saying it 301 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 1: was nineteen eighteen where Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. 302 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: Nineteen eighteen. He's one hundred years off. Buck. You know 303 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: what's it gonna take. I mean you you actually asked 304 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: this question at some point. What I do believe that 305 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: it will take what I described, which is the full 306 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: on visible meltdown in front of everybody. But that will 307 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: that's actually, as an American, deeply troubling. If the country 308 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,719 Speaker 1: has to see that that he couldn't get it, wouldn't 309 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: recognize nineteen eighteen as being totally wrong in his mind 310 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: and not being able to read it. I'm sure they 311 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: weren't a hundred years wrong in the teleprompter. I mean, 312 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: how nervous are you if you're the guy who's typing 313 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: in or the girl who's typing in everything for Biden 314 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: and the teleprompter right now used to mean the wrong thing. 315 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, we're at nuclear war.

It was a sweeping 340 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: red victory, the likes of which we are hoping to 341 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: maybe have some echoes of in this upcoming big term election. 342 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: Joining us now we have the man most at the 343 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: center of that Republican revolution of ninety four, former Speaker 344 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: of the House, Newt gang Rich. Mister speaker, thanks for 345 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: being with us, sir, Well, it's great to be with you. 346 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: And I was intrigued by that mystery you guys were 347 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: advertising just now, so so we have to shift gears 348 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: here for a second. But that sounded fascinating. I'm delighted 349 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: to be with you, and I really appreciate the chance 350 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: to talk about my new book, Defeating Big Government Socialism, 351 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: which I think is the most important book I've written. Yeah, No, 352 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: we want to ask you about the book for sure, Speaker. 353 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: First though, the Joe Biden situation. I'm sure you saw 354 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: of the weekend New York Times reporting on this. Everyone's 355 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: been seeing it for a while. Has there ever been 356 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: anything like this in living memory in American politics where 357 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: you have a commander in chief or anyone at this 358 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: level who seems to so clearly not be physically medically 359 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: capable of doing the job. No, I think you'd have 360 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: to go back to Woodrow Wilson having a stroke and 361 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: being literally totally incapacitated at his wife, Edith actually ran 362 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: the government a different era, of course, and so they 363 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: just isolated Wilson and kept him in the bedroom, and 364 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: she became the person who delivered messages and essentially she 365 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: ran the United States government. That's the only occasion ever 366 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: that I can remember that where you can say you 367 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: had a president who was literally incapable, and in his case, 368 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 1: it was a very severe rope which he never recovered from. Um. 369 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: The notion that you're watching and I don't want to 370 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: say these things too personally because it's so painful, Um, 371 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: but you're you're watching somebody who seems to be on 372 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: the surface cognitively decaying right in front of your eyes. UM. 373 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean the other day where Joe had to kept 374 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: prompting him to say God Bless America, she said, because 375 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: she couldn't get him to say it. Um, And he 376 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: just was, I guess this weekend when he read the 377 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: actual text that said, you know, repeat this line. Um. 378 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: Those are the sort of things where you begin to wonder. First, 379 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: it's very badly staffed. Uh, they know, because you you 380 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: only bring him out when he's practiced at nine times. Uh, 381 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: and they're clearly bringing him out without any practice, and 382 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: the result is he's embarrassing for the country. Somebody made 383 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: the comment that it is European trip. All the European 384 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: he was treated him kind of like the aging grandfather 385 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: who they had to say, Kenny, they had to make 386 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: sure he didn't hurt himself. Yeah, mister speaker, can he 387 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: continue for thirty more months? In your mind? I know 388 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: you're not a doctor and we aren't either, but as 389 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: you watch to your point every single day, it appears 390 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: that his cognitive decline is getting worse. I believe he's 391 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 1: almost the exact same age as you. I assume that 392 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: you've known Joe Biden at least on some level over 393 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: the years. Oh, clearly doesn't have his fastball anymore. What happens, Well, 394 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: Biden was never the smartest guy in the room, but 395 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: Biden's strength was and he was a happy, go lucky, 396 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: friendly politician in a very very small state, which was 397 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: the winning the Senate race was the equivalent of running 398 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: for county commission and you know Birmingham or Cleveland or 399 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: what you um. And he was a Gladhander. Remember, his 400 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: first presidential race ended because he idiotically, uh quoted verbatim 401 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: a speech by Neil Kinnick, the labor leader about his 402 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: uh village upbringing. Now think to think yourself, what kind 403 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: of a mind this is? This is Biden number twenty 404 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: years ago. What kind of a mind he thinks that 405 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: you can take a quote about a Welsh home mining 406 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: village and turn it into a quote about your life 407 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: in Scranton and not have the national press, who are 408 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: presently figure out that this whole thing was playing. He 409 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: just plagiarized it. So he had collapsed. He got out 410 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: of the race because he just you know, he can't 411 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: get major leaguing effect. You probably can't hit the triple 412 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: a pitcher. Um. And he now slower and he's weaker. Um. 413 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: And I was about the same age. Uh. You know, 414 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm fortunately, I guess in a little bit better shape, 415 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: and I thank God for that. But you know, you're 416 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: looking at the guy. It's fighting to have the commander 417 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: she for the most powerful military in the world, relied 418 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: upon my allies all of the planet. This incapable, and 419 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: of course it means but the real power goes to 420 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: his staff, and that his staff is very, very left wing, 421 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: far and away the most radical staff ever in the 422 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: White House and in the Executive branch. And so these 423 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: people are just running a monk. They're doing things that 424 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: atually no American favors. We're speaking to a former Speaker 425 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: of the House. New Gangrige's got a book out Defeating 426 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: big Government Socialism, Saving America's Future. It's just out this week. 427 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: You should all pick up a copy. Mister speaker, you 428 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: were right at the at the crest of that red 429 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: wave in ninety four. Are you feeling like we're heading 430 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: into a similar situation now in this mid term? What 431 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: are you seeing that? And it's a combination of just 432 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: bad performance, the price of gasoline, the price of food, 433 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: the number of people being killed, the scale of the 434 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: openness of the border just go down less an. I 435 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: think there's a sense that things are just spinning out 436 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: of control. That when you look at it, you know, 437 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: people don't want big government socialism, they don't want radical 438 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: woke policies. They don't want children being taught that if 439 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: you're white, you're bad. I mean, the degree that what 440 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: the current Democratic Party is dedicated to a series of 441 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: radical beliefs is astonishing. It is in not any way 442 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party that I compete with twenty or thirty 443 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: years ago. And all of that is thinking in part 444 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: of defeating big government socialism is that this is the 445 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: fourth wave of failure in a big wave of failure 446 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: under Lyndon Johnson, another wave of failure under Jimmy Carter, 447 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: a wave of failure under back Obama, and now we 448 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: have the Biden failure. But we've never closed the deal 449 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: with the American people. We've never convinced them it's not 450 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: just a personality problem, but that the basic core policies 451 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: are wrong, that the core values are wrong, and that 452 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: you have to decide that you're going to root out 453 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: those kinds of polities and those kinds of values. And 454 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: that's why I talk about big government socialism and try 455 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: to lay out the case in the book that that 456 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: any citizen can pick up the book and take chapters 457 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: and use them, you know, to go to their friends 458 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: or to go to the local coffee shop and win 459 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: the argument about what's going on, because what's going wrong 460 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: as a matter of principles, it's not a matter of 461 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: personal dysfunction. We're talking to former Speaker of the House, 462 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: New Ginger. It's the last question for you. You're in Georgia. 463 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of comparison of Joe Biden to 464 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter. Fair or foul in your mind. I also 465 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: know you're a historian. How would you assess the riven? 466 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: I think it's very unfair to Carter. Carter was a 467 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: very smart guy. He was a he was a nuclear engineer, 468 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: um very successful. But Carter very similar at the values 469 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: that he was convinced to implement. Let's go work. So 470 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: he's a big guy doing things. Yeah, a bright guy 471 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: with bad ideas. Everyone should go get the book Defeating 472 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: big government Socialism by New Gangrits.

But what do 501 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: you think he said, Buck, when Chuck Schumer he's depositive? 502 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: Did he immediately genuflect and pray to the vaccine gods 503 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: for after only eight shots making this a cold that 504 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: he'll recover from in a week, like ninety nine point 505 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: seven percent of everybody else with shots or no shots, 506 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: Because that's what I think probably if we call it 507 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: the COVID genuflection, Clay, Yes, test positive for COVID despite 508 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: the fact that you've had eight shots or whatever the 509 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: heck number we're on now, you immediately say you're thankful 510 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: for your COVID shot lest you would have been far sicker. 511 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: So can I just throw one thing out there really quickly? 512 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: They're going to be telling you with a straight face, guys, 513 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: the fifth, sixth, and seven shots are what really gets 514 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: it done. They're going to be telling you this this year, Okay. 515 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: I just I want to like, can we mark this 516 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: or the transcript? They're going to be telling you in 517 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: just a matter of months, shots five, six and seven 518 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: they'll take care of it. And we mentioned this earlier 519 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: in the show, but I think it's worth reflecting a 520 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: preprint store a study that is being reported on. We 521 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: got an article up about it at OutKick. First two 522 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: COVID shots are now five percent effective at keeping you 523 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: from getting or spreading COVID. Third booster shot only twenty 524 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: percent effective. Both of those numbers continue to fade rapidly. 525 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: So Mansion, it appears Buck and We've been talking about this, 526 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: and I just want to make people aware of it. 527 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is going to try to ram through at 528 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: least a more spin that could be accompanied by a 529 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: tax cut. So we're going to talk to Senator Ron 530 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: Johnson and third out of the program, we'll see what 531 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: he expects there. We really are in a situation where 532 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: Republicans need to just run out the clock because by 533 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: the end of July it gets very difficult to get 534 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: anything passed. In August or September. The fiscal year calendar ends, 535 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: I believe on September thirtieth, so it's very difficult to 536 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: get a budget bill passed. Again, we'll ask about this, 537 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: but I just want all of you out there to 538 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: recognize that the Biden administration is becoming aware of the 539 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: landslide that is going to move against them in the 540 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: House and potentially the Senate, and as a result, they 541 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: are trying to get through whatever legislation they can in 542 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: the next month or so. We need people to hold 543 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: the ground and keep Biden from making it worse. So 544 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: Mansion sounds like he's going to be willing to make 545 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: this happen. Those are quotes that we're out there that 546 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: have come out since we started the show. The other 547 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: part of news that has broken since we started the show, 548 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: but Joe Biden has headed to Saudi Arabia to go 549 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: on bended knee to that country and beg for them 550 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: to produce more oil, because of course, somehow it's better 551 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 1: for Saudi Arabia to be producing more oil as opposed 552 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: to the United States. And as part of that story 553 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: we talked about, they said they couldn't have combined it 554 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: with the European trip because Biden couldn't manage. But he's 555 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: headed to the Middle East this week. And we all 556 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: recall under the Trump administration, I think it was in 557 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, the Jamal Kashogie incident where 558 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: Democrats lost their minds for weeks about how Donald Trump 559 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: wasn't doing enough to Saudi Arabia and Donald Trump is 560 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: in the pocket of the Saudis and all this stuff, 561 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: cut off diplomatic relations with them, take it to them 562 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: out all this stuff. Joe Biden's going over there now 563 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: to beg them to produce more oil. Guess there's in 564 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: charge everybody. I just want everyone to be clear. It 565 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: is the same MBS. Okay, same guy. But when it 566 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: was Trump in office, speaking to the Saudis was always 567 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: so awful and terrible. But when Biden goes over there 568 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: to beg for a little more of that black gold 569 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: to come out of the ground, it's just politics, man, 570 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: it's just foreign policy. No big deal. I bring it 571 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 1: up not because it's a surprise, but it is important 572 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: for us all to remember the people who harangue us 573 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: all from the biggest LIB platforms in the country are 574 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: frauds with no principles. Just remember that. And as a 575 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: part of that trip over there, you oftentimes get gifts 576 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: to kind of pave the way. And remember Biden referred 577 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: to Saudi Arabia as a pariah state, basically said he 578 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: would have no interaction with him. He's now going on. 579 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 1: Ben didnee over there. And today in the last hour, 580 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal announced and broke this news that 581 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's Department of Justice, which we all know is 582 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: maybe the most political Department of Justice ever headline Wall 583 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: Street Journal exclusive PGA tour faces antitrust probe in live 584 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: golf battle Okay, for those of you who haven't been 585 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: paying attention to this, the Live Tour is owned by 586 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: the Saudies, so the PGA Tour has been going in 587 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: a battle with the Live Tour. So for Biden's administration 588 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: to allow this news to be broken the week that 589 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 1: they are going to Saudi Arabia, it feels very much 590 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: like a gesture of goodwill to the Saudis to say, hey, 591 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna look into the PGA and it's anti competitive 592 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: behavior associated with this. Now, if you're not a big 593 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: golf fan, you may not have paid attention to this 594 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: battle that's been going on where the Live Tour has 595 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: been trying to sign some of the biggest golfers. Buck 596 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,239 Speaker 1: your dad knows all about this. They signed Phil Mickelson, 597 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: they signed we can have him on as a special 598 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: guest just to talk about this topic. I know I 599 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: have not followed this at all. Dustin Johnson, I mean 600 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: it is and brooks Kaepka. There are a lot of 601 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: guys that have made the move from the PGA Tour 602 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: to the Live Tour and they've been castigated by the 603 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: mainstream media because the Live Tour is owned by the Saudis. 604 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,760 Speaker 1: But I just don't think it's coincidental that this story 605 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: about a Department of Justice investigation into a major competitor 606 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: of the Saudis comes out the week that Joe Biden 607 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: is headed to Saudi Arabia. I'm also wondering when all 608 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: the people with the Ukraine flags and their bios are 609 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,760 Speaker 1: gonna stop to realize that Russia is taking more ground 610 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: every day, that Russia, the Russian War in Ukraine, that Biden, 611 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Oh, thankfully we got Joe Biden. They 612 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 1: were saying, he's a real foreign policy as he's gonna 613 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: be great. We may not, people keep talking about us 614 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: supplying them, We may not be able to supply them 615 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: with enough bombs on artillery shelves and everything else to 616 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: help them even keep the fight going. Clay, So, on 617 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 1: the foreign policy side of things, Biden is a disaster too. 618 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: But the thing is there are so many disasters here 619 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: at home that people aren't even paying attention to that one. Well, 620 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: we talked about this when it happened, Buck, We said, 621 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: how long will the United States people care about what's 622 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: going on in Ukraine? And the answer seemed to be 623 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: about three weeks. And then everybody basically turned the page 624 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: and doesn't really care anymore. Ye and Vladimir Putin gambled 625 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: on that effectively that our interest level would be low, 626 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 1: and now he is slowly taking over. Remember when Biden 627 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 1: was going to cripple the Russian economy. Apparently he read 628 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: it wrong off the prompter. He didn't cripple the Russian economy, 629 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: but he did cripple ours. Good job. We'll break that 630 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: down in more plus Twitter battle with Elon Musk. What's 631 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: going on there? We'll give you the latest. Hang with Us. 632 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: Third hour Sleet Travis and Buck Sexton on the
