Takes less money than you probably think, and 34 00:02:01,897 --> 00:02:05,977 Speaker 1: I have personally had fantastic results already. All Right, this 35 00:02:06,217 --> 00:02:10,577 Speaker 1: is the situation out in Los Angeles with Gascone, the 36 00:02:11,257 --> 00:02:14,097 Speaker 1: recall GASCO member, he's the district attorney. He is one 37 00:02:14,137 --> 00:02:19,337 Speaker 1: of these progressive prosecutors. Okay, he came into office with 38 00:02:19,377 --> 00:02:23,017 Speaker 1: the whole let's just put fewer people in prison because 39 00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:26,537 Speaker 1: the numbers people like gascon and believe the numbers are 40 00:02:27,257 --> 00:02:31,857 Speaker 1: racist of how many people are in prison who are minorities. 41 00:02:32,137 --> 00:02:35,257 Speaker 1: So the system is therefore de facto racist, which means 42 00:02:35,297 --> 00:02:38,297 Speaker 1: mean to end mass incarceration. This is the belief of 43 00:02:38,337 --> 00:02:43,017 Speaker 1: the progressive prosecutor. Now we look at this, we say, Okay, 44 00:02:43,577 --> 00:02:48,257 Speaker 1: it's built on flawed assumptions, it's built on flawed logic. 45 00:02:48,377 --> 00:02:51,737 Speaker 1: But the whole edifice of the progressive prosecutor is coming apart. 46 00:02:51,737 --> 00:02:54,657 Speaker 1: Now why because of things like what's going on right 47 00:02:54,697 --> 00:02:59,097 Speaker 1: now in Namas City, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, 48 00:03:00,177 --> 00:03:03,657 Speaker 1: and Gascone has a big problem on his hands right now. 49 00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:06,417 Speaker 1: There's already a movement to recall him that has the 50 00:03:06,497 --> 00:03:08,537 Speaker 1: required signatures. We'll talk about that in a second. But 51 00:03:08,577 --> 00:03:11,057 Speaker 1: this is the kind of story that when you hear 52 00:03:11,097 --> 00:03:14,737 Speaker 1: you say, what the heck are these libs doing? What 53 00:03:14,817 --> 00:03:19,537 Speaker 1: do they think they are talking about? Like, how do 54 00:03:19,617 --> 00:03:23,657 Speaker 1: they think this makes any sense at all? So a 55 00:03:23,857 --> 00:03:28,217 Speaker 1: gang member fatally shot to El Monte, which is a 56 00:03:28,297 --> 00:03:31,417 Speaker 1: kind of east it's a small city east of Los Angeles, 57 00:03:31,497 --> 00:03:34,377 Speaker 1: or it's maybe part of eastern Los Angeles County I think. 58 00:03:35,657 --> 00:03:39,377 Speaker 1: But El Monte had two police officers who were killed 59 00:03:40,177 --> 00:03:44,017 Speaker 1: in a line of duty, and they were killed by 60 00:03:44,337 --> 00:03:49,177 Speaker 1: an individual who should not have been on the streets 61 00:03:49,217 --> 00:03:52,577 Speaker 1: at all. All Right, there's this individual, his last name 62 00:03:52,577 --> 00:04:00,057 Speaker 1: as Flores, and Flores had a strike on his record 63 00:04:00,097 --> 00:04:03,017 Speaker 1: for burglary and then another strike and then got a 64 00:04:03,057 --> 00:04:06,137 Speaker 1: third strike. And you know what Gascon did, didn't enforce 65 00:04:06,177 --> 00:04:09,497 Speaker 1: the three strikes rule, said oh, let's let's not actually 66 00:04:10,337 --> 00:04:12,657 Speaker 1: take this guy and send a prison for a few 67 00:04:12,737 --> 00:04:16,857 Speaker 1: years when he was a felon in possession of a firearm. 68 00:04:16,857 --> 00:04:18,457 Speaker 1: It's very important. We'll get to that in a moment. 69 00:04:18,457 --> 00:04:21,577 Speaker 1: So he's got burglary charges, drug charges, and now firearm charge. 70 00:04:21,657 --> 00:04:24,377 Speaker 1: Three strikes, you're out in California, that's the law. The 71 00:04:24,457 --> 00:04:26,657 Speaker 1: law is three strikes, you're out. What a gascon do? 72 00:04:27,577 --> 00:04:30,177 Speaker 1: We just ignored the law, which now the courts have 73 00:04:30,177 --> 00:04:33,377 Speaker 1: already said you can't do that anymore. Gascone, an appeals 74 00:04:33,377 --> 00:04:35,617 Speaker 1: court in the state of California has said, you don't 75 00:04:35,617 --> 00:04:36,897 Speaker 1: get to make up you don't get to be the 76 00:04:36,897 --> 00:04:38,817 Speaker 1: district attorney and just make up the laws as you 77 00:04:38,857 --> 00:04:42,177 Speaker 1: see fit. That's not how it works. But he did 78 00:04:42,257 --> 00:04:45,697 Speaker 1: in this case ignore the law. So a felon, convicted 79 00:04:45,737 --> 00:04:49,617 Speaker 1: felon found with a loaded firearm, what do you think 80 00:04:49,617 --> 00:04:51,417 Speaker 1: he got, folks, I'm just wondering, what do you think 81 00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:57,337 Speaker 1: He actually served three years in prison? Zero he's supposed 82 00:04:57,337 --> 00:04:59,417 Speaker 1: to get you to three years in prison just for that. 83 00:04:59,857 --> 00:05:06,057 Speaker 1: He served zero. He got probation, two years of probation. Now, 84 00:05:06,057 --> 00:05:08,697 Speaker 1: if you're wondering, hey, is this just a guy who's 85 00:05:09,617 --> 00:05:11,857 Speaker 1: in the struggle, trying to you know, trying to do 86 00:05:11,897 --> 00:05:15,897 Speaker 1: his best, trying to make things happen the right way, 87 00:05:16,057 --> 00:05:19,697 Speaker 1: and made a few wrong turns in his life. Gang 88 00:05:19,737 --> 00:05:25,217 Speaker 1: member Flores had quiet the word quiet tattooed on his 89 00:05:25,297 --> 00:05:28,577 Speaker 1: face because he was a well known member of the 90 00:05:28,697 --> 00:05:32,537 Speaker 1: Quiet Village gang, which engages in oh you guest, did 91 00:05:32,617 --> 00:05:38,937 Speaker 1: drug trafficking, murder, racketeering, etc. So a guy who literally 92 00:05:39,057 --> 00:05:43,937 Speaker 1: has I am a gang member tattooed on his face 93 00:05:44,937 --> 00:05:48,457 Speaker 1: was not only given a sweetheart deal the law was 94 00:05:48,497 --> 00:05:55,217 Speaker 1: ignored on his behalf for a buy gascone for the 95 00:05:55,257 --> 00:06:01,457 Speaker 1: three strikes rule. And now because he stabbed his girlfriend. 96 00:06:01,577 --> 00:06:03,777 Speaker 1: Gang member with the I'm in a gang tattooed on 97 00:06:03,817 --> 00:06:06,657 Speaker 1: his face like neon signs saying I'm a criminal, please 98 00:06:06,657 --> 00:06:11,097 Speaker 1: lock me up. Stabbed his girlfriend. She was hiding from 99 00:06:11,177 --> 00:06:14,537 Speaker 1: him in a motel. He found her in the motel 100 00:06:14,977 --> 00:06:18,257 Speaker 1: was trying to break in. Police came and then Flores, 101 00:06:18,377 --> 00:06:20,777 Speaker 1: the gang member with the I'm a gang member tattooed 102 00:06:20,777 --> 00:06:24,337 Speaker 1: on my face, who should, understate law, be in prison. 103 00:06:24,857 --> 00:06:29,137 Speaker 1: Murdered two police officers in a gunfight. He was killed too, 104 00:06:29,817 --> 00:06:33,177 Speaker 1: So there's some silver lining of the situation. Flores was 105 00:06:33,257 --> 00:06:37,857 Speaker 1: killed at the scene, but these officers lost their lives. 106 00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:42,217 Speaker 1: Two brave officers lost their lives in this situation. And 107 00:06:42,337 --> 00:06:44,377 Speaker 1: this guy should. When I say shouldn't have been on 108 00:06:44,417 --> 00:06:49,177 Speaker 1: the streets, I don't mean that gang member Flores. If 109 00:06:49,257 --> 00:06:52,377 Speaker 1: only the DA had been a little bit more sane, 110 00:06:52,497 --> 00:06:55,657 Speaker 1: Gascon would have kept him off the streets. The law 111 00:06:55,897 --> 00:06:59,857 Speaker 1: stated that he should not have been on the streets 112 00:06:59,937 --> 00:07:05,617 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles or anywhere else for that matter. Gascon 113 00:07:05,737 --> 00:07:08,057 Speaker 1: just ignored the law. Now they're two dead cops. Now 114 00:07:08,017 --> 00:07:11,137 Speaker 1: there are two wives of police officers in Los Angeles 115 00:07:11,137 --> 00:07:15,137 Speaker 1: getting handed a folded flag, kids growing up without dads. 116 00:07:15,857 --> 00:07:21,537 Speaker 1: Why Because Gascone is a lunatic progressive Democrat. This is 117 00:07:21,537 --> 00:07:24,377 Speaker 1: what they have done in city after city. Now there 118 00:07:24,497 --> 00:07:28,777 Speaker 1: is a movement to recall Gascone Recall George Gascone dot 119 00:07:28,777 --> 00:07:32,697 Speaker 1: com slash petition. They've gotten five hundred and sixty six 120 00:07:32,697 --> 00:07:38,577 Speaker 1: thousand signatures as of this morning, and or five hundred 121 00:07:38,577 --> 00:07:40,617 Speaker 1: sixty seven thousand, which is what they need, but they 122 00:07:40,617 --> 00:07:42,737 Speaker 1: say in order to make sure they get over the 123 00:07:42,777 --> 00:07:45,297 Speaker 1: threshold when they verify, they need six hundred and fifty 124 00:07:45,297 --> 00:07:49,177 Speaker 1: to seven hundred thousand. So if you are allowed, you know, 125 00:07:49,177 --> 00:07:51,697 Speaker 1: if you are living in Los Angeles, if you are 126 00:07:51,777 --> 00:07:55,617 Speaker 1: somebody who can sign this petition, please sign the petition. 127 00:07:56,297 --> 00:07:59,057 Speaker 1: Please get rid of this lunatic, and we need to 128 00:07:59,097 --> 00:08:01,337 Speaker 1: get rid of Gascone, just like they did. Look San 129 00:08:01,377 --> 00:08:06,577 Speaker 1: Francisco libs finally said enough is enough. This is democrats, 130 00:08:06,577 --> 00:08:09,497 Speaker 1: This isn't some right wing conspiracy. Democrats are saying, I 131 00:08:09,537 --> 00:08:13,617 Speaker 1: don't really want to be dealing with somebody burglarizing my 132 00:08:13,657 --> 00:08:17,497 Speaker 1: house and the cops not coming because the city council 133 00:08:17,857 --> 00:08:20,777 Speaker 1: thinks that it's racist. They just assume it's racist. By 134 00:08:20,777 --> 00:08:25,897 Speaker 1: the way, plenty of people who are breaking into breaking 135 00:08:25,937 --> 00:08:29,217 Speaker 1: into people's houses and whatever who come from all different backgrounds. 136 00:08:29,297 --> 00:08:32,457 Speaker 1: But the city council assumes it's racist to call police 137 00:08:32,697 --> 00:08:36,017 Speaker 1: because this was in San Francisco, because then police violence 138 00:08:36,417 --> 00:08:40,617 Speaker 1: may be used against a person, a man of color 139 00:08:41,097 --> 00:08:44,217 Speaker 1: in this case. That is the they're building laws based 140 00:08:44,217 --> 00:08:48,057 Speaker 1: on this, they're making regulations based on this. It's completely insane. 141 00:08:49,097 --> 00:08:52,017 Speaker 1: But the Democrats have lost their minds. I mean this 142 00:08:52,137 --> 00:08:55,737 Speaker 1: is I don't say that for effect. I don't say 143 00:08:55,817 --> 00:08:59,337 Speaker 1: that so that people feel like, you know, oh yeah, no, No, 144 00:08:59,537 --> 00:09:05,577 Speaker 1: the Democrats have gone bonkers. They've gone barkers. It's so clear. 145 00:09:06,217 --> 00:09:08,497 Speaker 1: And this story in Los Angeles just says at all 146 00:09:08,497 --> 00:09:10,337 Speaker 1: And by the way, these there's more more of this 147 00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:12,737 Speaker 1: the more you dig into it. Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, 148 00:09:12,737 --> 00:09:15,617 Speaker 1: we gotta get rid of him, Gascon and Los Angeles 149 00:09:15,617 --> 00:09:18,057 Speaker 1: gotta get rid of him. Got to sign these recall petitions, 150 00:09:18,137 --> 00:09:22,137 Speaker 1: Gotta get these guys out of office. I mean, this 151 00:09:22,217 --> 00:09:25,897 Speaker 1: is a truly a public safety issue. These maniacs, who 152 00:09:25,977 --> 00:09:29,897 Speaker 1: come straight out of the progressive anti racism tradition have 153 00:09:30,097 --> 00:09:33,657 Speaker 1: destroyed safety in these cities, destroyed it, and everybody knows it, 154 00:09:33,737 --> 00:09:38,057 Speaker 1: and the numbers support it. And they're the Democrats understand 155 00:09:38,097 --> 00:09:39,977 Speaker 1: that this is a huge vulnerability for them, but they 156 00:09:40,017 --> 00:09:42,257 Speaker 1: don't want to admit it too openly, because that would 157 00:09:42,297 --> 00:09:45,697 Speaker 1: be like saying, hey, Buck Sexton, people like him were 158 00:09:45,777 --> 00:09:48,937 Speaker 1: right the whole time. Oh my gosh, yes, we were 159 00:09:49,017 --> 00:09:52,497 Speaker 1: right the whole time about all of this. I was 160 00:09:54,617 --> 00:09:59,057 Speaker 1: strident critic of the BLM movement in June of twenty twenty, 161 00:09:59,057 --> 00:10:01,497 Speaker 1: and never mind now two years later. For two years 162 00:10:01,537 --> 00:10:04,217 Speaker 1: I was saying, they're not helping anybody, they're not going 163 00:10:04,257 --> 00:10:07,937 Speaker 1: for justice, they're not saving any lives. They're destroying neighborhoods, 164 00:10:08,017 --> 00:10:11,417 Speaker 1: they're destroying relationships with the police, they're undermining police departments, 165 00:10:11,497 --> 00:10:14,497 Speaker 1: and they're eradicating law and order and people are suffering 166 00:10:14,537 --> 00:10:17,097 Speaker 1: and people are dying because of it. That's what happens 167 00:10:17,137 --> 00:10:20,617 Speaker 1: when you let lunatic leftists run things. Democrats Democrat parties 168 00:10:20,657 --> 00:10:23,417 Speaker 1: lost its mind, folks. That's where we are. You know, 169 00:10:23,417 --> 00:10:26,137 Speaker 1: we're living in a world of bubbles right now. Financial bubbles, 170 00:10:26,177 --> 00:10:29,097 Speaker 1: the tech bubble, the stock market bubble, the crypto bubble, 171 00:10:29,137 --> 00:10:31,137 Speaker 1: and could be even a housing bubble coming up here. 172 00:10:31,257 --> 00:10:33,897 Speaker 1: It's an uncertain time, that's for sure. And what work 173 00:10:33,977 --> 00:10:36,497 Speaker 1: what worked before for us financially may not work again. 174 00:10:37,057 --> 00:10:40,217 Speaker 1: So how do you prepare for the future.

That's eight three three four zero four g LD. 191 00:11:29,057 --> 00:11:36,497 Speaker 1: Take action on this please today. Now. There's also the 192 00:11:36,977 --> 00:11:42,577 Speaker 1: Biden regime running around, essentially threatening the oil companies. President 193 00:11:42,657 --> 00:11:45,497 Speaker 1: Biden on Wednesday called on US oil refiners to produce 194 00:11:45,577 --> 00:11:49,937 Speaker 1: more gasoline and diesel, saying their profits of triple triple, 195 00:11:50,097 --> 00:11:53,697 Speaker 1: there good time for you to pay a fair share. 196 00:11:55,257 --> 00:12:01,537 Speaker 1: Econmic gross from the inside out. It's time for a nap. 197 00:12:02,297 --> 00:12:04,457 Speaker 1: As Americans are struggling with the record high price at 198 00:12:04,457 --> 00:12:07,257 Speaker 1: the pump. The Democrats realize this is a huge political 199 00:12:07,337 --> 00:12:09,897 Speaker 1: liability for them, which is why they're taking it so seriously. 200 00:12:10,817 --> 00:12:15,937 Speaker 1: But here's the problem again. I am here talking to 201 00:12:15,977 --> 00:12:21,537 Speaker 1: you from a position of living in reality, right talking 202 00:12:21,537 --> 00:12:23,697 Speaker 1: to you about what's actually happening. There are other people 203 00:12:23,737 --> 00:12:26,377 Speaker 1: that are trying to manipulate you, propaganda, Biden of course, 204 00:12:26,417 --> 00:12:31,257 Speaker 1: many others. But here's what reality tells us. The refiners 205 00:12:31,897 --> 00:12:36,977 Speaker 1: are already at their capacity right now. These are businesses 206 00:12:36,977 --> 00:12:40,497 Speaker 1: that are responding to incentives in the market. If they 207 00:12:40,537 --> 00:12:44,777 Speaker 1: could make more, they would make more. The more you 208 00:12:44,817 --> 00:12:49,377 Speaker 1: read about what's going on in the petroleum industry, the 209 00:12:49,417 --> 00:12:51,617 Speaker 1: more you see that this is just now a stupid 210 00:12:51,657 --> 00:12:55,377 Speaker 1: talking point from a stupid white house. They're just profiteering 211 00:12:55,457 --> 00:12:59,497 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. They have competitors. So if the 212 00:12:59,537 --> 00:13:02,897 Speaker 1: oil companies thought that there was an operation, if they 213 00:13:02,937 --> 00:13:06,257 Speaker 1: just had excess capacity, guess what, they would be producing 214 00:13:06,297 --> 00:13:12,017 Speaker 1: more and making more money, right. But they're not because 215 00:13:12,217 --> 00:13:15,577 Speaker 1: of the limitations of the refining processes that are already 216 00:13:15,617 --> 00:13:17,977 Speaker 1: in place. It's not easy. It's not a light switch. 217 00:13:18,177 --> 00:13:22,497 Speaker 1: It's not make more oil happen. And you know, OPEC 218 00:13:22,657 --> 00:13:29,497 Speaker 1: is a cartel. The US oil companies are hamstrung by 219 00:13:29,537 --> 00:13:32,137 Speaker 1: all these different regulations and all they don't have the 220 00:13:32,177 --> 00:13:37,497 Speaker 1: same spare capacity to just turn on at a moment's notice. Well, 221 00:13:37,537 --> 00:13:38,977 Speaker 1: they wrote a letter. By the way, the head of 222 00:13:39,017 --> 00:13:42,377 Speaker 1: the American Patroleum instrue that's right, petroleum lobbying organization. I 223 00:13:42,457 --> 00:13:46,017 Speaker 1: understand this, But they also represent eleven million jobs, they 224 00:13:46,057 --> 00:13:48,017 Speaker 1: represent businesses. But I'm telling you this is coming from 225 00:13:48,017 --> 00:13:51,337 Speaker 1: the petroleum industry. But what they're saying is true. Right, 226 00:13:51,417 --> 00:13:53,977 Speaker 1: Just because they just because people who work in petroleum 227 00:13:54,017 --> 00:13:57,097 Speaker 1: are saying it, doesn't mean it's untrue. Despite what libs 228 00:13:57,137 --> 00:14:03,577 Speaker 1: and Democrats and environmental wackos may say, US refiners cannot 229 00:14:03,577 --> 00:14:06,097 Speaker 1: increase capacity beyond current levels. If they could, they would 230 00:14:06,097 --> 00:14:07,977 Speaker 1: have done it already. This is a letter to the 231 00:14:08,017 --> 00:14:11,177 Speaker 1: White House from the American Patroleum Institute. All we appreciate 232 00:14:11,217 --> 00:14:13,857 Speaker 1: the opportunity to open increased dialogue with the White House. 233 00:14:14,097 --> 00:14:18,177 Speaker 1: The administration's misguided policy agenda shifting away from domestic oil 234 00:14:18,177 --> 00:14:22,457 Speaker 1: and natural gas has compounded inflationary pressures and added headwinds 235 00:14:22,457 --> 00:14:25,537 Speaker 1: to companies daily efforts to meet growing energy needs while 236 00:14:25,537 --> 00:14:31,417 Speaker 1: reducing emissions. So here's a big problem they've got, folks. 237 00:14:31,777 --> 00:14:34,577 Speaker 1: They laid out ten different things that are you wouldn't 238 00:14:34,577 --> 00:14:37,417 Speaker 1: even believe all of the regulatory steps before they can 239 00:14:37,497 --> 00:14:41,137 Speaker 1: drill more lots of regulation permitting process, before they can 240 00:14:41,177 --> 00:14:44,737 Speaker 1: refine more lots of regulation permitting process. And it's been 241 00:14:44,777 --> 00:14:48,457 Speaker 1: made more onerous, not just in the last twenty years, 242 00:14:48,497 --> 00:14:51,337 Speaker 1: but particular in the last eighteen months by the Biden administration. 243 00:14:52,457 --> 00:14:55,177 Speaker 1: They can have it both ways. They can't be lecturing 244 00:14:55,257 --> 00:14:58,577 Speaker 1: us about transitioning to green energy away from fossil fuels 245 00:14:59,137 --> 00:15:01,697 Speaker 1: and telling us they're taking steps in that process and 246 00:15:01,737 --> 00:15:04,017 Speaker 1: then say, oh, we're not making it harder for the 247 00:15:04,057 --> 00:15:06,537 Speaker 1: fossil fuel companies to produce. We're not making it harder 248 00:15:06,577 --> 00:15:10,337 Speaker 1: for the oil companies to pump oil out of the around. 249 00:15:10,497 --> 00:15:13,737 Speaker 1: They absolutely are. They need to make the leasing process 250 00:15:13,777 --> 00:15:16,897 Speaker 1: more streamline. They need to make the regulatory process for 251 00:15:17,137 --> 00:15:20,137 Speaker 1: more exploration, for more refining streamline. They need to open 252 00:15:20,217 --> 00:15:23,417 Speaker 1: up all onshore drilling, and they should think about offshore 253 00:15:23,497 --> 00:15:27,657 Speaker 1: drilling all of this, but they don't want to do that. 254 00:15:28,497 --> 00:15:30,417 Speaker 1: And you see the problem that they have right now 255 00:15:30,537 --> 00:15:34,497 Speaker 1: is they need more oil. They know this for political reasons. 256 00:15:34,497 --> 00:15:38,177 Speaker 1: Democrats know they need more oil. Now. The oil industry 257 00:15:38,177 --> 00:15:40,577 Speaker 1: is saying, look, we can produce more, but it takes 258 00:15:40,577 --> 00:15:44,297 Speaker 1: a while, and so you gotta give us the runway 259 00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:46,377 Speaker 1: to do this. You know, give us a you know, 260 00:15:46,417 --> 00:15:48,457 Speaker 1: a year or two years, and we're gonna get up 261 00:15:48,457 --> 00:15:51,297 Speaker 1: and running. We've got we can have greater capacity, but 262 00:15:51,377 --> 00:15:53,657 Speaker 1: you gotta stop standing in our way and making this 263 00:15:53,737 --> 00:15:57,537 Speaker 1: harder and making it cost ineffective. Well, Democrats don't want 264 00:15:57,577 --> 00:15:59,217 Speaker 1: to do that. You think they want to go talk 265 00:15:59,217 --> 00:16:02,337 Speaker 1: to the Sierra Club and all their wealthy environmentalist donors 266 00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:05,417 Speaker 1: in Malibu and say, yeah, you know, Joe Biden's er, 267 00:16:05,537 --> 00:16:07,297 Speaker 1: we're going to produce a lot more oil the next 268 00:16:07,337 --> 00:16:10,337 Speaker 1: two to five years. So what do you mean we're 269 00:16:10,377 --> 00:16:14,257 Speaker 1: all gonna die because of climate change. This is ideologically 270 00:16:14,377 --> 00:16:17,097 Speaker 1: driven and we all know it, and they're just trying 271 00:16:17,137 --> 00:16:20,657 Speaker 1: to avoid the consequences of their bad decision making. That's 272 00:16:20,657 --> 00:16:23,377 Speaker 1: what this is all about. Speaking of bad decision making, 273 00:16:23,857 --> 00:16:25,457 Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot of places we could 274 00:16:25,497 --> 00:16:30,817 Speaker 1: go here. Turns out there they're putting Kamala Harris in 275 00:16:30,897 --> 00:16:37,377 Speaker 1: charge of online or online Harassment task Force. Oh that's 276 00:16:37,417 --> 00:16:41,297 Speaker 1: gonna be great. Kamala's in charge of the online Harassment 277 00:16:41,337 --> 00:16:46,057 Speaker 1: task Force. I mean, you know, what is this gonna 278 00:16:46,097 --> 00:16:49,297 Speaker 1: look like? I'm just wondering. You know, they're they're really 279 00:16:49,337 --> 00:16:52,457 Speaker 1: they're it was the border, it was Ukraine, you know. 280 00:16:52,497 --> 00:16:56,217 Speaker 1: And now they're scaling down Kamala's portfolio to the kind 281 00:16:56,217 --> 00:16:59,617 Speaker 1: of stuff and honestly, you know, you this is that's 282 00:16:59,617 --> 00:17:01,697 Speaker 1: something that you would think like a first lady would have, 283 00:17:02,177 --> 00:17:04,977 Speaker 1: as in not an elected official or appointed official, just 284 00:17:05,017 --> 00:17:08,617 Speaker 1: somebody who's married to an official or the first husband. 285 00:17:08,697 --> 00:17:12,777 Speaker 1: You know, I'm a modern man. But the point here 286 00:17:12,817 --> 00:17:18,617 Speaker 1: being they know that Kamala can't really do anything. Kamala 287 00:17:18,977 --> 00:17:23,377 Speaker 1: is It's as though you put the chief diversity educator 288 00:17:23,417 --> 00:17:26,017 Speaker 1: of Wesleyan University in the Vice President's office and you 289 00:17:26,177 --> 00:17:28,657 Speaker 1: now you're supposed to say, oh, yeah, no, she's really 290 00:17:28,697 --> 00:17:31,457 Speaker 1: accomplished and really knows what she's doing. She absolutely does not, 291 00:17:33,257 --> 00:17:35,697 Speaker 1: doesn't have an impression, doesn't have an impressive legal background. 292 00:17:35,777 --> 00:17:41,457 Speaker 1: Just maneuvered within the Democrat apparatus of the state of California, 293 00:17:41,737 --> 00:17:45,257 Speaker 1: which is like Soviet system in terms of it being 294 00:17:45,297 --> 00:17:48,057 Speaker 1: one party, as well as she can as much as 295 00:17:48,057 --> 00:17:49,857 Speaker 1: she could. And that was it. That was the whole thing, 296 00:17:51,097 --> 00:17:54,697 Speaker 1: all right, team, I can't believe it, But we're already 297 00:17:54,697 --> 00:17:56,097 Speaker 1: at the end of the show for today, but please 298 00:17:56,097 --> 00:17:57,857 Speaker 1: make sure you check out the Clay and Buck show 299 00:17:58,217 --> 00:18:00,177 Speaker 1: coming up.
