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 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Clay Travis 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. Great to have you here with me. 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: Clay on vacation, and we have much to discussed today 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: here in the world of well, a lot of things, 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: but certainly banking, finance, the economy, the dollars in your 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: bank account, the dollars in your pocket. What is going 8 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: to happen. We've got the new inflation numbers. I'll break 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: that down for you. A little bit of a calm, 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: it seems right now a lot of the regional banks 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: that got smashed yesterday had a big rally, so it 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: seems like confidence in them has been at least four 13 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: now restored. We've also got a crisis with the NYPD 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: switching gears here to criminal justice and policing resigning at 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: a record breaking pace. So that's an we're going to 16 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: discuss later on in the program. More fallout from that 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: Stanford Dean and students who were shouting down Fifth Circuit 18 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: Federal Appeals Court Judge Duncan. We'll discuss that. And we've 19 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: also got more on the border and oh and Trump 20 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: has some words about DeSantis in a new video that 21 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: we'll discuss here on the program. Trump seems to be 22 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: of the mind that saying that Florida is not Rhnda 23 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: Santis's success story, that that is going to be a 24 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: worthwhile line of attack. We will discuss that here in 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: just a little bit. But you all remember Donald Rumsfeld, right, 26 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: Remember he was Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush. 27 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: Very much the first person I think for a lot 28 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: of people who comes to mind with the Iraq of 29 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: two thousand and three and a whole range of other 30 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: things from the War on Terror. And he had had 31 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: a bunch of prominent roles in the White House before that. 32 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy had been in government for a 33 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: long time in different capacities. But that very famous little 34 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: moment where he was discussing known, known unknowns and unknown unknowns. 35 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: I am concerned right now in the financial sector and 36 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: about things that would affect all of us when it 37 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: comes to the unknown unknowns. I'm just gonna put a 38 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: few things out there, right because, as I always tell you, 39 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: nobody can predict the future, but we can at least 40 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: look at the odds, look at what's going on right now. 41 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: SVB bank, all the depositors Silicon Valley Bank, and the 42 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: people that were banking, they're thinking that they were just 43 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: putting money in a bank and not some version of 44 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: a very low yield hedge fund or a mutual fund 45 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: or something. They have been back stopped by this program 46 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: with the government, the FED, the FDIC, with you know, 47 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: the financial alchemy of it's not a bailout, but it 48 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: actually is a bailout, because if it wasn't a bailout, 49 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the bank would have gone under. So it is a bailout. 50 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,239 Speaker 1: But it seems like people have calmed down a bit, 51 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: and as I said, the regional banks have recovered. But 52 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: there are some issues right now that are also out there. 53 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: First of all, inflation, what are the newest numbers, slows 54 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: to six percent from six point four percent a month ago. 55 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: So the FED is now considering pausing its interest rate 56 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: hikes because of the banking crisis. But you see, this 57 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: all just takes us back to the basic problem. What 58 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: did I say yesterday? This all comes from a decision 59 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: to crush the bond market, destroy anyone's ability really to 60 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: get a pretty standard yield for savings accounts, treasury bonds, 61 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: you name it. Bonds from companies bonds in general, you 62 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: couldn't get any income on the money that you had saved, 63 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: whether you're an individual or an institution, unless you took 64 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: riskier pathways. And the government decided alongside this whole process 65 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: that they were going to keep printing money through quantitative 66 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: easing through QE, so interest rates were kept artificially low. 67 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: You can't get money from your savings account, and they 68 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: keep on pushing more money into the system. This has 69 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: caused inflation. How do you deal with the inflation? Well, 70 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: how do you bring it down? You have to let 71 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: interest rates normalize. The problem with letting interest rates normalize, 72 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: they say too quickly, is that there will be economic 73 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: pain associated with that. We started to see a little 74 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: bit of that with the bank failures that have just occurred, 75 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: the run on SVB, the banks that were on the brink, 76 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: it seemed, and now we're told, oh, don't worry, it'll 77 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: all be fine. But the fundamental problem remains, what is 78 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: the Fed going to do? Now? What does this mean 79 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: for inflation? For the cost of everything that you need 80 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: to feed yourself, your family, pay your rent, gas up 81 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: your car, buy the things you need, whether it's healthcare 82 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: or a dozen eggs, buy the things you need day 83 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: in and day Yeah, what does it mean for you? 84 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: And the answer is they don't really know. And this 85 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: is where I get into the unknown unknowns and also 86 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: the plans that may start to get a little bit 87 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: more attention out there. But first, let me put this 88 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: before we get into the possible plans, Let's look at 89 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: some things that are happening. So Credit Suisse has had 90 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: its shares a huge, a huge bank, has had its 91 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: shares fall to an all time low. It is the 92 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: seventh largest investment bank in the world, and it has 93 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: said it has material weakness. So that's not that's not 94 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: a good sign right now. Maybe that's just because of 95 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: a few specific things for Credit sweets. Okay, fine, you know, 96 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: but people will point out that there have been problems 97 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: there for a while Archagos I believe it was called 98 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: the five point five billion dollars loss they took because 99 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: of this Archagos fiasco. There going to get too deep 100 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: into the weeds on it, point being there are issues. 101 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: That's a really big bank, that's a really big problem. 102 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: You've also got the staff of Facebook finding out today. 103 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: The tech sector has already been in a big decline 104 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: staff of Facebook finding out that ten thousand jobs are 105 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: about to get cut thirteen percent of all Facebook staff. 106 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: And Mark Zuckerberg, like the AI robot he is made real, 107 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: is telling everybody to get ready for a quote new 108 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: economic reality that will continue for many years. As in 109 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: they are doing efficiency. I actually read the letter they 110 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: put out, not a particularly warm and fuzzy one about 111 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: the efficiency cuts Love be making at Facebook. This is 112 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: happening all over the place. Big tech companies that seem 113 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: like they were money printing machines and at the time 114 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: they were just a few years ago, are laying off 115 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: large numbers of people, a lot of the tech stocks 116 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: that were really drivers of the economy, and we're propping 117 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: up the stock market overalls, where most of the games 118 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: were coming from. They've gotten whacked pretty badly in the 119 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: last well last year, depends on which one you're looking at, 120 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: but things are rough right now. If you also look 121 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: at car Loan defaults, another indicator, not quite housing defaults, 122 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: but car Loan defaults, they are right now, way up. 123 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: They're the highest they have been in a number of 124 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: a number of decades I think at this point. So 125 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: this is higher than it's been in quite some time, 126 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: and that's obviously really disconcerting as well. So what are 127 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: they going to do about all of this now? I 128 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: brought up the unknown unknowns because look at how quickly 129 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: SVB turned into a financial crisis that required the entire 130 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: attention of the White House, the Fed, the Treasury, and 131 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: what was it a month ago? Jim Kramer was on 132 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: TV by SVB, you know whatever? Sure, I think there's 133 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: actually there are people that they trade based upon the opposite. 134 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: They actually manage money based on the opposite of what 135 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: Jim Kramer recommends on his TV show. It's pretty funny. 136 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: I think there's an index that someone's created where you 137 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: go in the opposite direction. But here you have here, 138 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: you have a series of major challenges to the economy, 139 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: and you have also a few things that have happened 140 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: in rapid succession that no one seemed to see coming. 141 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: And right right now it feels like, oh, maybe things 142 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: are getting a bit better. But those unknown unknowns they 143 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: linger out there. What would it take for us to 144 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: really go off the cliffire financially systemic weakness in a 145 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: major bank somewhere? Well, Credit Suista said they have that, 146 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: but maybe that's not enough. Maybe they'll figure that out. 147 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: How many of these massive financial institutions have made a 148 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: similar bet to what SVB did, or have taken other 149 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: risky ventures onto their balance sheets that could really create enormous, 150 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: enormous problems down the line. So many of the people 151 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: you'll see on TV or economists and people in the 152 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: financial sector who don't actually manage money, and they've been 153 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: wrong many, many times in the past, but because they 154 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: have a long and establish history of being wrong, it 155 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: seems they continue to go on TV and tell you 156 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. They have no idea. I will 157 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: tell you they have no idea what's going on. You 158 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: know who looks really prescient right now would be Ron 159 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: Paul and the people that have said the FED which 160 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: was really created to avoid, isn't it supposed to avoid 161 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: the very situation we are in right now, all this inflation, 162 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: all this money printing and then trying to control the recession. 163 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: Nobody wants there to be pain, but what goes up 164 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: must come down. I mean, there's some fundamental realities here 165 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: that a government structure is not really able to manage. Right. 166 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: We can't actually have people who decide that we're just 167 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: never going to have it. If we could create a 168 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: situation where we never have a painful economic downturn, well 169 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: of course we would want that. That's not reality, that's 170 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: not the way this is going to shake out. And 171 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: then that brings me to something else that I wanted 172 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: to spend a little more time on today, because I 173 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: know people are are concerned about it, and I think 174 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: in the post COVID world of easy authoritarianism that we 175 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: fell into in this country, the notion of a central 176 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: bank digital currency a CBDC is something we all have 177 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: to take very seriously. Because here's how you may be 178 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: thinking about the situation right now of the economy. You 179 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: might be thinking, so the FED is screwing things up 180 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: once again. They're not a bunch of geniuses. They're they're 181 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: not you know, the wizard behind the curtain making everything 182 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: run and look great. They're actually creating a lot of 183 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: these dislocations and a lot of these distortions in the 184 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: market by FED policy. And now they're telling us, well, 185 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: they're going to fix it, But they're they're riding the 186 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: tiger or riding the dragon on this one. They're not 187 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: really determining how this thing goes. They're just doing their 188 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: best to make it less bad than it would otherwise be. 189 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: You would be thinking, well, we have to figure out 190 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: a way to lessen the power of some of these 191 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: institutions going forward, right, But you have to remember for 192 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: government failure, failure never is met with we shouldn't do 193 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: this next time, it's we need more power and more resources. 194 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: So how do you get that? You might be thinking, well, 195 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: we need to look more at I mean, the whole 196 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: range of things, right, and go back, go and listen 197 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: to all the old Ron Paul lectures. He's still giving lectures, 198 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: but go go and listen to the things that that 199 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: he said about what the fed, the boom bust cycles, 200 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it, what it does. And 201 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: people are talking about cryptocurrencies now and all the rest 202 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: ways of getting outside of this centralized government control. But 203 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: that's if you think the answer here is less central 204 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: government control. The people in charge, you know what they 205 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: think The answer is more more government control, more ability 206 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: to determine exactly what you can do with the money 207 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: that you have. And that brings us to a central 208 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: bank digital currency, which is something that I do want 209 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: to speak to you about a little bit, because it's 210 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: already happening in places. There are different kinds of CBDCs 211 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: out there, but major economies, you know, like China, India, 212 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: they already have this. As you know, China has gotten 213 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: rid of cryptocurrencies. So centralization, top down centralization of money 214 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: through a digital currency is happening elsewhere in the world, 215 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: and there are arguments underway right now about how to 216 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: do this in America. They've been happening for a while. 217 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: This is not a conspiracy theory. This is off the 218 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: front pages of the Wall Street Journal. It's just a 219 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: question of how deep into this we go and what 220 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: we actually do with it. It's going to happen at 221 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: some level. So I want to talk to you about 222 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,599 Speaker 1: that because right now it feels to me like that 223 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: come before the storm. I don't think we are out 224 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: of the storm. We've just we had a squall, but 225 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: the big one is still coming. That is the sense 226 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: that I have. And when you look at the options 227 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: that the people in charge have at this point, if 228 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 1: they have one shock from an unknown unknown, this whole 229 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: thing all of a sudden gets really really ugly. Look, 230 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: a lot of small business owners that survive the pandemic 231 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: have been taking advantage of sizeable refunds from the IRS. 232 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: The money is coming from an IRS program called the 233 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: Employee Retention Credit or ARC. Your business may be eligible 234 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: for a payroll tax refund of up to twenty six 235 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: thousand dollars per employee kept on payroll during COVID nineteen. 236 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: To see if your business qualifies, go to get Refunds 237 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: dot Com.

Welcome back to Clay an Buck. We have 248 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: David McCormick with us now. He is the former CEO 249 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: of the Hedgewater of the Hedge Fund rather Bridgewater candidate 250 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: for US Senate in Pennsylvania in the last election cycle. 251 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: A combat veteran West Point graduate, author of a new 252 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: book that is out now, Superpower in Peril, a battle 253 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: Plan to renew America. David, good to have you back 254 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: on the program. Hey Bucks, thanks for having me. I 255 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: appreciate it. So we got a couple of things, big 256 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: things to get into here. First of all, breaking news 257 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: just in the last couple of minutes, a Russian jet 258 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: has collided with a US drone over the Black Sea 259 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: and international airspace. I want to get into all the 260 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: banking stuff. You ran Bridgewater, one of the biggest hedge 261 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: funds in the world. You know the banking stuff very well. 262 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: But first tapping into your combat veteran side. You went 263 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: to West Point. You have served in different government national 264 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: security related roles. How concerned are you about the trajectory 265 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: right now in Ukraine. Well, I'm very concerned about it 266 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: in the sense that you know, Putin is an aggressor here. 267 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: He has challenged the sovereign sovereignty of Ukraine. And I 268 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: think we are in the right position to be supporting 269 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians because I think it's in US interest but 270 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: we got to do that with a lot of care, 271 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: and we got to make sure the things that we're 272 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: sending there aren't being corrupted and used in ways it's 273 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: inconsistent with the mission. And we got to be careful. 274 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: And incidents like you describe are the things that are unexpected. 275 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: We got to be careful that US troops don't in 276 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: any way get drawn in. So I'm a among those 277 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: who think what's happening in Ukraine is an important US interest. 278 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: I think China is watching carefully, but I also understand 279 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: those who are skeptical, and we have to be careful 280 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: not to get drawn into something bigger. Now on under 281 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: the financial side of things, there's a lot of messages 282 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 1: to clean up right now in a bunch of different 283 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: a bunch of different areas of the world. Yeah, so, 284 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: so tell us. I mean, first of all, is the bailout, 285 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: the backstopping, whatever it is, Is this the right thing 286 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: to do? How do you see things as they are 287 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: right now? Before we get into where the financial and 288 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: sector and economics sector are going. But what do you 289 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: think about what they've done up to this point? Well, 290 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: I think you got to start and I'll be very 291 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: brief but you've got to look at how we got 292 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: here because it answers part of your question. So we 293 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: are here because of excess excess over the last ten 294 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: years in terms of too much fiscal spending, but extreme 295 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: excess in the last two years under Joe Biden, enormous 296 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: amount of spending, forty percent increase in discretionary spending. We're 297 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: an all time high in our debt of thirty one 298 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. And that excess of spending has been matched 299 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: with extremely low interest rates for more than a decade. 300 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: And as a consequence of that, we have inflation. And 301 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: that inflation is something we got to control. And so 302 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: the Fed, ironically, in trying to help stop the problem 303 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: it created, raised interest rates quickly. And now we've got 304 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: a gap between the assets and the liabilities, and that 305 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: is across the whole banking sector. It's not just across SBB, 306 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: and that's the macro problem. Now. Second SBB, Silicon Valley 307 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: Bank wasn't terribly managed a bank terrible risk management. It's 308 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: appropriate that the whole leadership team got fired, But the 309 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: regulators made a big mistake here. The San Francisco Federal 310 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,239 Speaker 1: Reserve should have known this It's obvious what was going 311 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: to happen when interest rates rise, that the balance sheets 312 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: on the banks are gonna be underwater. They're gonna have 313 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: to sell assets. And because these assets were so the 314 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,439 Speaker 1: deposits are so concentrated, it's created a real problem, not 315 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: just for Silicon Valley Bank but for others. Now, in 316 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: terms of what the government has done, I think it's 317 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: it's appropriate the equity holders lose their lose their money. 318 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: I think it's appropriate that the credit holders lose lose 319 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: their money. I'm very concerned about the bailout of these 320 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 1: uninsured deposits, and I I'm concerned for two reasons. First, 321 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, the guy who had the landscaping business and 322 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: landscaped Silicon Valley Bank and the company would have ten 323 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. He lost that ten thousand dollars. But the 324 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: rich Silicon Valley venture capitalists got one hundred percent on 325 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: their dollars, and uh, and that that seems wrong, that 326 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: seems inappropriate. Second, we got a moral hazard. We got 327 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: a moral hazard problem where there's eight trillion dollars of 328 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: uninsured bank deposits, and so did we now just set 329 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: a precedent where we're going to bail out eight trillion 330 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: dollars of of insured bank deposits if we need to, 331 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: I don't think so. So we're sending a dangerous press, 332 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: and then that for that reason I would oppose it. 333 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: Oppose a bailout of any kind. We're speaking to David McCormick. 334 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: He's a former combat veteran ran for Senate in Pennsylvania 335 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: in a tough primary there against doctor Oz and also 336 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: is the author of a new book that is out, 337 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: Superpower in Peril, A Battle Plan to New America. All right, David, 338 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: where is this all going? I mean credit suite? Back 339 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: to the financial thing, because people are worried about their money, 340 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: I think rightfully, so, they're worried about their savings and 341 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: they're worried about their jobs. So what happens now? I 342 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: mean credit suits. They're saying, has I think that, you know, 343 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: systemic issues or something? There is some term that they 344 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: used to say it's not looking good over there. And 345 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: there are some other banks I'm sure that also have 346 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: similar problems, maybe not as badly as SVB, But do 347 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: you feel like this is the beginning of a real 348 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: plunge or has this is this something that if we 349 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: handle appropriately, or is handled appropriately, We're not heading into 350 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: a major recession. Well. One of the things I've learned 351 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: along the years is to just have humility about the 352 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: ability to predict anything. Here, I would say that a 353 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: couple of things. In response to your question. The biggest 354 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: important thing in banking is to have confidence. Confidence in 355 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: the banking system. The deposits that old people put in 356 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: the banks are not available to take out because they 357 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,479 Speaker 1: lend those, so there's a fraction of the deposits available. 358 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: So people have to have confidence, and the governments try 359 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: to take steps to put confidence in place. We'll see 360 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: how much it works. The underlying problem that I described, 361 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: where people have bought assets and had long duration assets 362 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: and now they're worth a lot less is a big problem. 363 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: And the inflation that we have in our economy is 364 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: likely going to lead the FED to raise rates to 365 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: the point where we go into recession, and that is 366 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: going to be very challenging for our economy, and it's 367 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: part of the broader thing I try to address in 368 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: my book about Superpower and Peril. I think this is 369 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: just evidence of a decline Americans in decline economically. From 370 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: a national security perspective, spirits and the client's uninevitable, but 371 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: neither is renewal. It depends on what we do. And 372 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: so my book Superpower and Peril lays out the plan 373 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: for educating our people, for confronting China and for securing America, 374 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: and part of that is to get our fiscal house 375 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: in order and to get back to more normal policy. 376 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: We've lived in access for a long time, and whenever 377 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: there's access, there creates all sorts of distortions in the markets. 378 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: And that's what we're dealing with right now. Is there 379 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: any way you think realistically that the Fed will be 380 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: able to navigate these interest rate raises without plunging us 381 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: into what even the Biden administration will have to admit 382 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: is a recession. Yeah, listen, I think it's gonna be 383 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: very difficult. And you know, if you go back, and 384 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: I just read recently the book about Paul Bulker during 385 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: his time there, and what happens with inflation is there's 386 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: you know, if you take the pedal off too quickly 387 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: and lower rates too quickly, inflation comes back. And so 388 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: you've got to break the back of inflation, both with 389 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: your movement, with your moves and interest rates. But also 390 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: with your rhetoric and signaling. And I think it's going 391 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: to be very difficult not to be very tough minded 392 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: on inflation, because the inflation has an insidious impact on 393 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: our economy and is very challenging for politically. So I 394 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: think we're likely to go into recession. I think it's 395 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: likely going to be a tough period, and that's why 396 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: I think a renewal agenda is really important. There's lots 397 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: of problems in the country just beyond the economic ones 398 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 1: you and I are talking about, and so my argument 399 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: in the book is that we need leadership as conservatives 400 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: that's going to put great candidates forward that can win 401 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: primaries and win general elections, is going to put a 402 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: positive agenda forward for how to solve these problems, and 403 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: it's going to do the work to get absentee ballots 404 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: and voter registration so we can win elections and take 405 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: the country in the right direction. And this book is 406 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: meant to be a blueprint for how to do that. 407 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: A battle plan to renew america superpower in peril is 408 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: the book. If We'll let you go, David, you think 409 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: you're not running for president because this book looks like 410 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 1: the kind of book somebody might write if they were 411 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: running for president. Well, first, I started writing the book 412 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: before I ran for the Senate. At this point, now 413 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: that the books done, my wife did tell me I 414 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: got to get a job of some sort bucks So 415 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think. I don't think she's very 416 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: open minded about that. But I have been thinking about 417 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: running for the Senate in Pennsylvania. I've not decided yet. 418 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: There's twenty four Senator Casey set will be open for election, 419 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: and and so we'll think about that and pray about 420 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: it and make a decision later this year. I suspect gotcha, 421 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: So maybe running for something fair enough. David McCormick, everybody's 422 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: superpower and peril. David, thanks for calling in.

And Joe Biden's got a problem. Everybody always 451 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: got a lot of problems. But one thing. We just 452 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: had a breaking news alert in the last hour that 453 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 1: a Russian fighter jet has collided in international airspace over 454 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: the Black Sea with a US Reaper drone. But that's 455 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: gonna raise tensions a little bit there. What's going on? 456 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: What are the chances of that just happening. Perhaps the 457 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: Russian jet was trying to get a much closer look 458 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: at the drone. Who knows. We will find out more 459 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: well that Pentagon will tell us some stuff and then 460 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: we'll find out more beyond that, I am sure in 461 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: the hours ahead. But something to keep an eye on. 462 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: But the bigger political problem that Joe Biden has is 463 00:26:54,880 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: that his party has gone nuts. And this is something 464 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: that you see on a range of issues where even 465 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: Democrats are starting to say, some Democrats, this is just 466 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: too much. I can't go along with this. And they're 467 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: not areas, they're not fringe beliefs of the Democrat Party. 468 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: They're opposing. They are things that are coming from the 469 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: White House itself. They're the most mainstream of Democrat positions 470 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: because in many cases they are now the mandatory positions 471 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 1: that you must hold if you are going to be 472 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: a Democrat who is held in good standing by the left, 473 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: by the you know, the Jacobins who run that party, 474 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: the radicals, the Marxists. So that's interesting, that's worth keeping 475 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: in mind. Right, this is now required orthodoxy for a 476 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: lot of Democrats that are causing problems for them. And 477 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: I had mentioned this in the first hour. I wanted 478 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: to just bring you back to the situation of the 479 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: Stanford University, well, Stanford Law School, part of the university aftermath, 480 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: when you had Judge Duncan of the Fifth Circuit who 481 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: was shouted down by a bunch of of of screeching harpies, 482 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: I mean, just lunatics in that room. I saw the 483 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: whole video. I can't play the audio. There's so much, 484 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: there's so much cursing and shouting that you can just 485 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: imagine they have a federal judge invited to a law 486 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: school to speak to them about the law. He's actually 487 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: doing the interpretation of law on the Fifth Circuit. You 488 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: think that law students might think they have something to learn, 489 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: and even if they don't that they would sit there 490 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: and be respectful. They're supposed to be officers of the court. 491 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: But really the law schools have become social justice activist 492 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,239 Speaker 1: training centers. That's what they are. That's what the so 493 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: called elite lass was. I thought it was so funny 494 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: too that one of the one of the you know, 495 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: just childish students says shouted something like, yeah, well, you 496 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: couldn't even get into this law school. It's so interesting. 497 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: I want to I wonder how many of the people 498 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: in that room that were shouting at the judge got in, 499 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: not because their el sets were so high, but under 500 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: the diversity and inclusion exceptions to what the rest of 501 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: the student body is supposed to achieve in terms of 502 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: grades and scores. I would just wonder about that. I 503 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: would wonder how many of them are really as smart 504 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: as I think they are. And there's also a difference 505 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: between cognitive ability or test taking ability and wisdom. And 506 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: as all of you listening to this, especially those of 507 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: you who have lived more years on this earth than 508 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: I have, no wisdom is the most important. Wisdom is 509 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,239 Speaker 1: the thing that really matters and makes the difference, and 510 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: that room had none of it. They lined up just 511 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: this is the last day or so reporting from the 512 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: Washington Free Beacon that these activists lined up to do 513 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: a shame walk of sorts for the dean who apologized 514 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: on behalf of Stanford University to the judge. So now 515 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: more students are shaming publicly the dean who apologize for 516 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: the behavior of the childish, maniac students that we're shouting 517 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: down this This is Biden's Democrat Party. This is why 518 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm telling you this. These little activists, social justice warriors 519 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 1: at Stanford Law School. They've been doing this for years now. 520 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: This is their mentality has been the same, stretching back 521 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: for the last decade. And so they're now there are 522 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're people that work in the DOJ 523 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: and they work for the White House, and they're they're 524 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: in the structures of power there. This is not just 525 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: student radicals who will deal with the reality of life 526 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: when they get out. They are the Democrat base. Now, 527 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: they are the Democrat Party. This is why Biden is 528 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: in this uficult position, not that difficult for Joe Biden 529 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: because he is a man with no honor or integrity 530 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: to protect in the first place, because Joe Biden has 531 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: no integrity to protect. He has a lot of latitude 532 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: for what he can do. It doesn't matter what does 533 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: he believe, what should he believe? That's always the Biden response. 534 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: Who is Joe Biden? Who do you need him to be? 535 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: That's how Joe Biden approaches everything in politics and life, 536 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: stretching back for as long as he's been a public figure, 537 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: which is longer than I've been alive. So he's the 538 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: right guy for this job. But it's a difficult job 539 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: pretending to be something when it counts with the voters, 540 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: while he is something entirely else when it comes to 541 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: the governance that he presides over as the head of 542 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. Whether he's a puppet or not doesn't matter. 543 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: He's still the figurehead. Right. So this brings me to 544 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: this interview he did on The Daily Show, and here 545 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has asked about there are a number of 546 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: states that are that are banning transgender surgery for children. 547 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: How many of you listening to this right now had 548 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: never even heard of transgender surgery, including doctors. By the way, 549 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: transgender surgery for children until the last five years made 550 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: the last two or three years. I think the answer 551 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: is a lot. Almost everybody. This is new. There are 552 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: no long term studies. There is no real sense as 553 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: to how this could be medicine because this is not 554 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: studied in any meaningful way. They won't talk about it. 555 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: They just want to be able to do it. They 556 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: want to be able to do gender mutilation of children 557 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: and call it medicine. And they are. You see how 558 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: they how they have turned on the issue of abortion. 559 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: For example, the left to Democrat party used to say, oh, 560 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: it's just you know, safe, legal and rare, or oh, 561 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: we wanted to be something that people women can shoot 562 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: for themselves as a freedom, but you know, we're not 563 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: going to celebrate it. Oh no, And then eventually they 564 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: were celebrating it. You know, take my word for it. 565 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: You'll see women at these pro abortion marches. You know, 566 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: Shout your Abortion was a whole campaign for Shout your 567 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: Abortion a whole campaign for a while, celebrities talking about 568 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: how abortion was such a great decision for them, Usually 569 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: women who were actresses, who you know are on marriage 570 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: number five and you know, I've had I've made a 571 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: mess of their lives. But anyway, though, they'll say Oh, 572 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: abortion was such a great, great thing for my career. 573 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: That's usually what they say. So they do end up 574 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: celebrating it, and they're willing to completely forget about the 575 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: morality that is involved and that the loss of a life. 576 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: So given their position on an abortion, you have to 577 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: understand if left unchecked, the psychological contagion of gender ideology 578 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: for kids, for adolescence, for prepubescent children, that gender contagion 579 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: ideology is something that they will they will go from 580 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: saying it is rare. Why do you focus on it? 581 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: It is rare? Why are you making such a big 582 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: deal of it too? It is mandatory and you better 583 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: celebrated or else. You know, this is coming the slippery slope, 584 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: as everyone says on Twitter these days, is the undefeated champion. 585 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: You know what they're going to do. So we stand 586 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: and fight or we know where they're going to take 587 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,919 Speaker 1: this politically, stand in fight, we stand up and say 588 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 1: enough is enough or the pathway is clear. I bring 589 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: you Joe Biden, good old fashioned Joe guy was alive 590 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 1: when the Second World War was ending, right, Joe Biden's 591 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: been around forever. He's such a traditional Democrat, a union 592 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, lunch pail carrying, pro labor democrat, you know, 593 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,280 Speaker 1: all this sort of stuff that doesn't even exist anymore, 594 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: by the way, but that's what they'll say. That guy, 595 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: Grandpa Joe, you can count on him. Here he is 596 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:02,879 Speaker 1: when speaking about gender mutilation of children. Teenagers, thirteen year olds, 597 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: fourteen year olds have their genitalia removed, and they say transition. 598 00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: There is no transition. You know. Jordan Peterson, bless him. 599 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: You know, he takes he takes important shots on important 600 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: issues he may have seen recently. And he got a 601 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: little profane, he got a little fiery on Twitter. He 602 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: pointed out, there is no transitioning of a pianist to 603 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: a vagina. That is not possible for humanity, for a 604 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: human being, it cannot be done. It is not a 605 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: thing that is medically possible. So then why do they 606 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: say we're going to create No, they don't, and that's 607 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 1: for adults. They want to try similar procedures involving children. 608 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: This is madness, This is monstrous. And yet Joe Biden, 609 00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: good old fashioned, middle of the road Joe. Here he 610 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,839 Speaker 1: is when he's asked about transgender kids play fifteen. What's 611 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: going on in Florida? Is my mother would say close 612 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,479 Speaker 1: to sinful. I mean, it's just terrible what they're doing. 613 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: Not like you know, a kid wakes up one morning 614 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 1: and says, you know, I decided I want to become 615 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: a man, or I want to become a woman, or 616 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: I want to change. I mean, what are they thinking 617 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: about here? We're human beings. They love, they have feelings, 618 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,439 Speaker 1: they have inclinations that are I mean, it's just to me, 619 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 1: is I don't know? It's cruel. And the way we 620 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: do it is we make sure we pass legislation like 621 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: we passed on same sex marriage. If you best with that, 622 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: you're breaking the law and you're gonna be held accountable. 623 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: First of all, notice the Biden go to he has 624 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: he can't really just discuss what it is that his 625 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: side wants, so he does this.

Let me ask you this. Do you 635 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: think Joe Biden would sign a law that would prohibit 636 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: parents stopping gender transition surgery for their kids if a 637 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: medical professional slash activist decided that it was appropriate. I 638 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: think he would. I think he wouldn't a heartbeat. I 639 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: think that Joe Biden has been a lie his entire 640 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: public life.

They get to choose all that we're talking 662 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: about protections for children. And where does Joe Biden stand 663 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: on this? He's saying, it's not like they wake up 664 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: one day and decide, I'm just gonna know, that's exactly 665 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,880 Speaker 1: what they do. Because the society around them, because TikTok, 666 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: because the Democrat Party, because Holly would all, because people 667 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: they look up to who have neither wisdom nor morality 668 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: to draw upon, tell them, this will make you the 669 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: center of attention, This will make you live your truth, 670 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: This will make your life better. They're being lied to. 671 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: They are being lied to, and Joe Biden is the 672 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: liar in chief. That's what you see here. So all 673 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: this stuff about, Oh he's gonna return us to normalcy. Oh, 674 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fine. You know you can trust good 675 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: old Joe. Grandpa Joe gets asked about gender mutilation of 676 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: miners and what does he say, Come on, man, we 677 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: need to pass a law. And he mentions, he mentions 678 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: the gay marriage, which is for adults. What does that 679 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 1: have to do with gender mutilation of miners for transgender purposes? 680 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: What does he even think he's talking? Doesn't even matter. 681 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: He's just there to fool enough of the easily fooled 682 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: so that the great mass of the left can get 683 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: their way. That's it, and it's it's wrong, folks, It's wrong. 684 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: He's something that everyone needs to understand. It's all based 685 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: in all based in lies, all based in misrepresentations.

And the positions of various GOP 711 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: contenders on Ukraine. It's something that got a bit of 712 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: attention last night. Tucker Carlson reached out his show and 713 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: reached out to contenders for the GOP domination because we 714 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: now have a full scale war going on in Europe 715 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: between two advanced industrialized economies and one of them has 716 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: a whole lot of nukes and a whole lot of 717 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: energy reserves. And this is a big deal. It's also 718 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 1: in the backdrop of all the things we're seeing economically 719 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,479 Speaker 1: play out right now too. You can't just leave all 720 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: this stuff on the side. This is factoring into the 721 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: sense of public unease right now. And I'll tell you this, 722 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: Does it feel like things are good right now in 723 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: the country honestly? Economically? Does it feel like things are good? 724 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:24,320 Speaker 1: On the world stage? Biden is soon to be out 725 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 1: there telling everybody he is running for reelection and what 726 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: a great economy it is. I mean, he's going to 727 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: make these claims. The media is going to back him up. 728 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 1: And I'm just here to tell you they're lying to you. 729 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: They're lying. Do you you know that? But get ready 730 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,359 Speaker 1: for it because it should annoy you. It should be 731 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: something that you find very frustrating. There should be a 732 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: part of you that feels like, wow, they are brazen, 733 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: because what's their alternative to admit that Biden is an 734 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: imbecile to agree with Republicans that many of the things, 735 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: whether it's the reduction in pursuing fossil fuels that has 736 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 1: happened because of the Biden administration, the decisions that have 737 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: been made across the board when it comes to regulation, taxation, 738 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,439 Speaker 1: that all these things make us poorer, more depressed, less 739 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: free as a nation, less prosperous. No, they're never going 740 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: to met any of that. But Biden's got his handsful 741 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: right now because there's only so much the media can 742 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 1: do to make things seem better than they are. And 743 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: on the issue of Ukraine and Russia, I do think 744 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: that the GOP is going to have a bit of 745 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: a fight on its hands here. Internally, Democrats are They're 746 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,279 Speaker 1: the party of if there's a war that we can 747 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:51,320 Speaker 1: fund or fight in that doesn't actually benefit America, Democrats 748 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,680 Speaker 1: are all in. Democrats and Lindsay Graham sign them up. 749 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: I mean, not to fight, but sign them up to 750 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: send your children and your money to that conflict. Republicans 751 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: at least tend to be more likely to there a 752 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of provisos, a lot of 753 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: caveats in this because I just mentioned that Lindsay Graham, 754 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: but there are others as well. But there are at 755 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,479 Speaker 1: least conservatives within the GOP tent who if there's gonna 756 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: be a war, it's to protect us and protect our interests. 757 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they're wrong about those interests, or maybe they're miscalculating, 758 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 1: but at least that's their purpose. So what are we 759 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: doing in Ukraine right now? And one are the various 760 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: candidates for on the Republican side think about it. I 761 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 1: thought it was very interesting that you had Ron de Santis, 762 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,800 Speaker 1: who is not yet running for president, and everyone is 763 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,480 Speaker 1: assuming that he will run, but we're not certain of that. 764 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: Obviously hasn't happened yet. Here's what he shed about America's 765 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,919 Speaker 1: objective in Ukraine, And again hat tip to Tucker's show 766 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 1: forgetting this information, and Tucker read this on Fox last night. 767 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: Without question, peace should be the objective. The US should 768 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 1: not provide assistance that could require the deployment of American 769 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 1: troops or enable Ukraine to engage in offensive operations beyond 770 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 1: its borders. F sixteens and long range missiles should therefore 771 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: be off the table. These moves would risk explicitly drawing 772 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: the United States into the conflict and drawing US closer 773 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: to a hot war between the world's two largest nuclear powers. 774 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:37,360 Speaker 1: That risk is unacceptable. I agree that risk is unacceptable. 775 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 1: I think that is an eloquent and well thought out 776 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 1: position from Rhonda santists on this one. Trump was in Iowa, 777 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: and I mean he put this in. He also responded 778 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 1: in writing, but I thought it he'd better to hear 779 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:57,799 Speaker 1: this that Trump said, this is clip three. He is 780 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 1: the only candidate who will make this promise that he 781 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 1: will prevent World War three. Play it standing before you today. 782 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: I am the only candidate who can make this promise 783 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: I will prevent World War three because I really believe 784 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 1: you're going to have world working. He will prevent world Now, 785 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,839 Speaker 1: that's an important promise to be able to keep. That's 786 00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 1: something that really we all, you know what we're all 787 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: I would well, I think all Democrats would even go 788 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: along with that one. Certainly all same people would go 789 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:39,720 Speaker 1: along with wanting a future Trump administration to be successful 790 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,920 Speaker 1: in keeping the promise of averting World War three. I 791 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 1: think that's a big deal. We all know that. So 792 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 1: that's a central issue. I think you're going to see 793 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: this getting fought out a whole lot more in public. 794 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: I also think you're going to see an increase in 795 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,759 Speaker 1: the kinds of technology and the personnel and everything else 796 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: that the Russians and the Ukrainians are putting onto their 797 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,280 Speaker 1: front lines. Going into the spring fighting season, the Russians 798 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:13,799 Speaker 1: have reportedly had a massive call up of more not 799 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: just reservists, but conscripts. So this is going to be 800 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: a fight that gets even bloodier, and it's going to 801 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 1: go on for years. And the US has to understand 802 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: now and has to have the discussion now about what 803 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,760 Speaker 1: our objectives are war and peace. This stuff really matters, 804 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: matters to all of us. We've gone through twenty years 805 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: of the American people having our men and women in 806 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 1: uniform deployed overseas. Trump got us to the end of it. 807 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 1: Biden did pull the troops out of Afghanistan. And you know, 808 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,879 Speaker 1: I keep saying this because I just want to make 809 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,319 Speaker 1: sure that we don't have four more years of Democrat 810 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,520 Speaker 1: because that's really forget. Biden is just the puppet Democrat regime, 811 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: democrat apparatus running the country. He is going to point 812 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 1: to Afghanistan as a success, and it's going to resonate 813 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,200 Speaker 1: with a lot of people not the war as a success, 814 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 1: obviously the withdrawal, because memories are fading about what a 815 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 1: debacle the actual withdrawal was and who we left behind. 816 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 1: And all people will know is when Biden says, you know, 817 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: I pulled out the troops. He did, So that's going 818 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: to be a useful narrative for him. The same way 819 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 1: you're seeing Biden moderate on he's monitoring on fossil fuels. 820 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: You see, he just is going to approve this project. 821 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:34,280 Speaker 1: The environmentalists are all upset about it. He's moderated on police. 822 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: See he's saying we need more cops, and he's not 823 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: defund the police. And the Biden that you and I know, 824 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: as in the Democrat administration that currently exists, isn't what 825 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 1: is going to be presented to swing voters to independence 826 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:57,479 Speaker 1: in Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania. You get it. That's 827 00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 1: not what's what all the ads they're going to run 828 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: and all the media narrative is going to be all 829 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Yeah, he's a moderate, he's a moderate. I 830 00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: want to get to how much of a lie that 831 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 1: is in a moment. But I want everyone to understand 832 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: that that's where this is going, that the reality of Joe. 833 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 1: But you're not running against the reality of Joe Biden, 834 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 1: a decrepid old buffoon who spent decades doing whatever would 835 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,319 Speaker 1: keep him in power in Delaware as a senator, you know, 836 00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,840 Speaker 1: as a machine politician for the Democrat Party who was 837 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 1: a joke to Democrats until five minutes ago. That's not 838 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: who you ran against. Was, you know, moderate normalcy, always 839 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,760 Speaker 1: always grinning at people and saying that he feels their pain, 840 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, we're all just human beings. Let's 841 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,800 Speaker 1: all just hug it out. The whole thing was a farce. 842 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 1: He's the president. Now you're going to be running against 843 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,839 Speaker 1: the fiction that they're able to create with grains of 844 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 1: truth behind it about Joe Biden. So understand that. Okay, 845 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: that's one part of this. And then there's this from 846 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,479 Speaker 1: from Donald Trump. I am a two time Trump voter. 847 00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,319 Speaker 1: I think that Donald Trump will wait, yes, sorry, two times. 848 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,959 Speaker 1: I was like he didn't get two terms. Two time 849 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 1: Trump voter obviously voted for from in twenty sixteen and 850 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. I think that Trump did a very 851 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 1: good job as president. There are some areas where I 852 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 1: wish things have been a little different, but overall, a 853 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 1: very good job as president, and I think that he 854 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 1: has a lot to bring to the table now, and 855 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,759 Speaker 1: I think he could be a very good president in 856 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 1: his second term. I also think that he needs to 857 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 1: have people around him who will tell him the truth, 858 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,759 Speaker 1: the truth about some of the positions he's taken. By 859 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: the way recently, some of the videos he's put out, 860 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,760 Speaker 1: some of the policy ideas really engaging, really worthwhile stuff 861 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: shows both the ability to learn and the ability to 862 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 1: project division for the future that I think would be 863 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: quite good for the country. But then there's other stuff 864 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 1: that comes out sometimes and I just I look at 865 00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 1: this and I say, what is this? What is this 866 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,040 Speaker 1: all about? Why? Why is Trump taking this approach? Who 867 00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: is advising him? Or maybe it's just Trump himself, but 868 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: he needs advisors then to tell him this is not 869 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 1: the way, sir, talk about you as the leader of 870 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,000 Speaker 1: the party with great ideas that will raise up all 871 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,799 Speaker 1: Republicans and with it the entire nation be bigger. Then 872 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,439 Speaker 1: some of the petty stuff. This isn't twenty sixteen. You're 873 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 1: not the guy that everyone's laughing at who has to 874 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:31,240 Speaker 1: show everybody who you know, the real the real alpha 875 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,920 Speaker 1: dog is right that it's not twenty sixteen. You have 876 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 1: been the president. There has to be a change. And 877 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:38,799 Speaker 1: I bring it up because that he put out this 878 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,359 Speaker 1: video and I want you to hear it. And if 879 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: you think I'm missing this or whatever, by all means 880 00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: I want to open up the lines. Like I said, 881 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,359 Speaker 1: I want to encourage the best of Trump, the best 882 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,880 Speaker 1: of his ideas, the best of what he's got. And 883 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,319 Speaker 1: you know, we are in a primary officially, and so 884 00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: when I see this video, I think, no, no, no no, 885 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 1: this is not this is not people. By the way, 886 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 1: people say that it's it's funny. If I say maga, 887 00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 1: they say you're supposed to say maga. And if I 888 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,960 Speaker 1: say maga, people yell at me. He'd say it spposed 889 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 1: to be maga. I mean, I think this is tomato tomato. Right. Anyway, 890 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 1: here is Donald Trump praising Well you'll hear for yourself. 891 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 1: Play clip one. For those of you that didn't notice, 892 00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 1: Florida was doing great long before Ronda Sanctus scot There 893 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 1: people are fleeing from New York to Florida and other 894 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: places because of high taxes and out of control crime. 895 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 1: It's really bad, not because of the governor. Thank you, 896 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,799 Speaker 1: mister president for doing that, but it's not because of 897 00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,280 Speaker 1: the governor. Florida was doing fantastically. You had a governor 898 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 1: named Rick Scott who did a very good job. Even 899 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,520 Speaker 1: Charlie Chris the Democrat, did a good job, but he 900 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,800 Speaker 1: had very good numbers. Sunshine and ocean are very alluring. 901 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: It's not too hard to work with those factors. So 902 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:00,839 Speaker 1: just remember Florida was doing really well long before run 903 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 1: to Sanctist got there. Okay, first of all, this sanctis 904 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:10,120 Speaker 1: nickname Trump. Trump's nicknames used to crumble his opponents. Okay, 905 00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 1: a low energy Jeb. Jeb never recovered for his presidency, 906 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: never or or a presidential campaign, never recovered from that 907 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,520 Speaker 1: little Marco right with with Marco Rubio. That was at 908 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 1: the time. And by the way, some people say that 909 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 1: this stuff is unfair and it's childish, but I'm just saying, 910 00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:27,879 Speaker 1: at the time, these things worked. Say what you will 911 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:32,359 Speaker 1: about them. They worked. The sanctus I don't, I don't. 912 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,839 Speaker 1: I don't think so, I don't. I guess it's sanctimony, 913 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 1: is what we're kind of going for. Here. Um, it's 914 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 1: just not it's not clever enough, it's not worthy of 915 00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:45,359 Speaker 1: Trumpian nickname. It's just it's just not gonna work. So 916 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 1: I'm here to to just be honest with all of 917 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 1: you about what I see happening here in this primary. Look, 918 00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,279 Speaker 1: it's still super early. Descendus isn't even in the primary, 919 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: so why is he attacking a popular Republican governor. And 920 00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,759 Speaker 1: then on the issue of what's happened in Florida, if 921 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,280 Speaker 1: all of you knew, the number of people in conservative 922 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: media who have moved to Florida in the last three 923 00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,279 Speaker 1: years is mind blowing. There's been nothing like this ever 924 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 1: before in my lifetime in this country. So many of 925 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 1: your favorite hosts, commentators, TV radio, podcasts, you name it 926 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 1: have moved to Florida and either doing partially you know, 927 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:22,800 Speaker 1: six months of the year or something like that, or 928 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,920 Speaker 1: here year round. And it's because this has become a 929 00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:31,439 Speaker 1: symbol of something, something is happening in this state that 930 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:36,719 Speaker 1: the right and conservatism is seizing on. There's a momentum here. 931 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,359 Speaker 1: And you see this from the eight hundred thousand people 932 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: who have I'm in Florida right now. You see this 933 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,040 Speaker 1: from the eight hundred thousand people who have moved to 934 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 1: Florida since the beginning of the pandemic. You see this 935 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 1: from the lowest crime rate the state has had in 936 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 1: fifty years. It's always it's always had great weather, it's 937 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,239 Speaker 1: always had you in recent memory, at least low or 938 00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 1: no state taxes on income. So that's not going to 939 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,839 Speaker 1: cut it. And it was the best state to be 940 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 1: in during COVID. I know because I was a New 941 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: Yorker who had come down to Florida during COVID to 942 00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: experience normalcy when other states and other places I remember, 943 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,279 Speaker 1: I mean Texas, I was very disappointed in Texas during 944 00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,839 Speaker 1: the pandemic. I love the state of Texas. I've thought 945 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,320 Speaker 1: about moving there to live many times in my life. 946 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:23,200 Speaker 1: But during the pandemic. Abbott was not very good. He 947 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,959 Speaker 1: got better, he got you know, he got wise on 948 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 1: La COVID in lockdowns, but it took him a while. 949 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,840 Speaker 1: Florida was the best state during the pandemic. We have 950 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,400 Speaker 1: to be honest here about what happened, where we had 951 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 1: our victories, where we had our losses, and when you 952 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: have not a single statewide elected Republican in Florida for 953 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 1: the first time since the Civil War. That's different, that's 954 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,719 Speaker 1: not a normal thing. Praising Charlie Christ. First of all, 955 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,359 Speaker 1: he was a Republican when he ran the state, which 956 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 1: is hilarious because Charlie Christ has literally been a Republican, 957 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 1: a Democrat, and an independent. But this is not the way, 958 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 1: This is not the way for Trump. I want. I 959 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 1: want more of the ideas. I want more of the leader. 960 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 1: I want the narrative. You know, there's a there's a 961 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 1: time and a place for the brawling and the fighting. 962 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,239 Speaker 1: But for me, this it just didn't work. If you 963 00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 1: think I'm wrong by all means, let me know if 964 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,759 Speaker 1: there are some Trump voters out there, and I mean 965 00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 1: obviously a lot of Trump voters, I mean people for 966 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 1: whom Trump is the only option, the only option to 967 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 1: take on Biden. If you like this or didn't like 968 00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: this ad, let me know. I'm very curious. Eight hundred 969 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,880 Speaker 1: two two to eight eight two. We'll get into some 970 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,600 Speaker 1: of that later on in the hour. So I think 971 00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 1: that's very It's look, it's it's gonna be a heck 972 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,399 Speaker 1: of a primary, folks, gonna be a heck of a fight. 973 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,280 Speaker 1: I think that much is clear, you know. Nine hundred 974 00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: dollars a lot of money. I don't care what part 975 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:45,560 Speaker 1: of life you're in.
