Let me be clear on this. 21 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 3: The Speaker of the House said that they would get 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 3: this done on the second try, and they did so. 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 3: A promise made, a promise kept on that now it 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 3: goes to the Senate, it will not result in a removal. 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 3: I think, but what are the optics of this? How 26 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: do people view it politically? Irrespective of I think the 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: four gone conclusion about the outcome. Let's start with Representative Buck, 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 3: which is a great name. 29 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: This is cut too. He does not like this vote 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: play it. Did you reconsider your vote at all before tonight? 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 4: Because you were receiving a lot of backlash. I would 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 4: tune into Fox News occasionally I would hear your name 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 4: always used vain on this particular issue. 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: Did you reconsider it all? 35 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: No? 36 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 4: The reality is the facts didn't change. In my opinion 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 4: of him. I protested for twenty five years. I know 38 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 4: what a high crime and misdemeanor are and I know 39 00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 4: that this doesn't qual. 40 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: This is a policy difference. 41 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 4: You can try to put lipstick on this pig, it 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 4: is still a pig. And this is a terrible impeachment. 43 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 4: If that's a terrible precedent. The first impeachment of Donald 44 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: Trump was a bad impeachment, and we've got to stop 45 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 4: this in this body or we are going to lose 46 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 4: our credibility with further lose our credibility with the American public. 47 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 3: Well, I think he lost some credibility when he just 48 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: said the first impeachment of Donald Trump was bad, but 49 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 3: put that aside for a moment, because there were two 50 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: There were two there, Representative Buck, he's messing up my 51 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: name and play. This is what it really comes down to, 52 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 3: I understand. And we had some various dute observations from 53 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: from listeners yesterday on this, and we got the emails 54 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: that there's a case to be made that you have 55 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 3: to hold this official Mayork as accountable for what he 56 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: is doing. 57 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: I view it as follows. 58 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 3: They're already maneuvering to make it seem like they want 59 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: to fix the border, and Republicans are the ones standing away. 60 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 3: For example, US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has drafted plans 61 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: to do a jail break of migrants or a detention 62 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 3: break I should say of migrants because of the budget 63 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: bill not going through. So now they're threatening just so 64 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 3: everyen's clear on this, Immigrations and custom Customs Enforcement under 65 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: Biden is saying, hey, we might just have to let 66 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of migrants that we are detaining for 67 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: now out free and clear because Republicans wouldn't go along 68 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: with our border security bill. That to me, I know 69 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 3: it's dishonest, But that's more powerful politics than we're impeaching 70 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 3: the Orcus. He won't be removed, and even if he 71 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: was removed, they'd replace him with somebody else. And I 72 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 3: know you keep I'll let you make your point, but 73 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: I think you have an important one on this as well. 74 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: My concern is we are setting ourselves up for Joe 75 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: Biden to say, you know what, the border is a mess. 76 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to replace may Orcus and we're going to 77 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: have a new border zar. And then he says I 78 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: fixed it. 79 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: He's gonna I think he has the ability to two 80 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: step here, because remember right now, Biden is minus thirty 81 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: five on the border. Of every issue under the sun, 82 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: the border is the weakest for Biden. 83 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: How do they rectify it. 84 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: While still maintaining the wide open border, which is ultimately 85 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: what they want. One They rectify it by saying, hey, 86 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: we tried to fix. 87 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: The border issue. 88 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: Republicans refuse to go along with us and support it, 89 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: and therefore they are responsible for the issue at the border. 90 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: You and I know that's not true. 91 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: We all know that Democrats had complete control of Congress 92 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: in twenty one and twenty two and could have passed 93 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: any bill they wanted, and instead they left the order 94 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: wide open. We also know that Biden has the executive 95 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: authority to be able to implement the same policies that 96 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: he reversed that Trump put in place, which would effectively 97 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: turn the border into a secure zone and reduce the 98 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: number of illegal entrance to a trickle of what it 99 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: is now. We all know that could happen, but he's 100 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: going to blame Republicans for not signing on to his 101 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: border bill. 102 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: That's part one. Part two is buck. 103 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: I think a few months from now, after Mayorcas is protected, 104 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: Biden asks for Mayorcas's resignation and says that he's going 105 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: to put someone new in who will do a better 106 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: job of implementing his border policy than Mayorcas has. That 107 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: then will be the old Potomac two step, the Texas 108 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: two step, whatever you want to call it. With that 109 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: card in your backpocket, Jack, that will allow him. Maybe 110 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: it takes the border from a negative thirty five issue 111 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: to just a negative fifteen issue, because enough middle of 112 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: the road voters and enough people who are upset about 113 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: what's going on are willing to say, yeah, the borders 114 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: a mess, but really it's both parties that aren't fixing it. 115 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's doing his best. That's the message they're going 116 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: to sell. And I'm concerned that making it look like 117 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: Mayorcis is responsible for this takes Biden a little bit 118 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: off the hook. 119 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 3: And just remember, wasn't it just back in twenty twenty 120 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 3: when all those Democrats, when there was the cast of 121 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: thousands running for the Democrat primary, in the Democrat primary, 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: when they were asked if they thought that illegals should 123 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 3: get Obamacare, they all raise their hands. 124 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: Do you remember that? Yeah? 125 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 3: I mean, this is a party, and including Biden, this 126 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: is a party that embraced open borders, that kicked the 127 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: border wide open, that trampled anybody who tried to stand 128 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: in the way of this. And now they're going to 129 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: turn around and they're going to lie to everyone. The 130 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: whole thing is going to be, oh, we're we're we 131 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 3: understand this is a problem and the immigration system is 132 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: the problem, and we're here to fix it too. And 133 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: and we can all roll our eyes at this, but 134 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: look what just happened in Long Island. Yeah, they ran 135 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 3: a Democrat who said, oh, I'm a I'm a super 136 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 3: I'm hawkish on the border, and they ran him against 137 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: somebody who wasn't born in this country. And you know, 138 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: you could say, well that's not fair. Well, you know, 139 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 3: the optics of this are what they are right now, 140 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: and they lost by eight points. And I just feel 141 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 3: like everyone needs to understand the truth of what the 142 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: Democrats have done at the border is going to get 143 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: shouted down by their propaganda about how now Joe Biden. 144 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: Wants to fix it. 145 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 3: And I told you abou the ICE releases, and this 146 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: brings us back to Mayorcus and what does this really accomplish. 147 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: They don't have the votes in the Senate, so he's 148 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 3: not going to lose his job. And and to your point, 149 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 3: there's even the possibility that Biden could start to say, 150 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: as we closer to the election, you know we're gonna 151 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: want we want to push for a more consensus candidate 152 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: run DHS Majorcus has done a great job. I don't 153 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: think he'll do that, but he could do that, and 154 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 3: it wouldn't be bad, but it wouldn't be bad politics, 155 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: and the GOP has no answer to it right now. 156 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: This dilutes to me the argument that Joe Biden is 157 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: responsible for the border and look, this is a sports 158 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: analogy that many of you, I think will understand. This 159 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: is like the assistant coach getting fired when the head 160 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: coach is under stress and people are saying, boy, that 161 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: the losing strikes really going poorly, and you say, well, 162 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: it's the offensive coordinator's fault. It's the defensive coordinator's fault. 163 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: It takes away and buys time for the head coach 164 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: when they're able to argue that a subordinate is responsible 165 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: for or the failure. So to me, when you look 166 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: at this, I'm concerned that Republicans are playing into Democrats' hands. 167 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: Biden should be the one getting impeached. But Biden is 168 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: the one who is a disastrous presidential candidate president who 169 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: is refusing He's also a disastrous presidential candidate right now, 170 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: but he's refusing to do the job to secure the border. 171 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: That is an impeachable offense in my mind. Ultimately, Majorcus 172 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: serves at the discretion of the president. If you're upset 173 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: with a cabinet official, to me, you should go after 174 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: the president, not the cabinet official. The cabinet officials like 175 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: punching down, you know, like I don't respond very often 176 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: on social media to people who chirp and they have 177 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: like one thousand followers, right, like most of the time 178 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: don't even see what they're saying. But it would be 179 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: like me punching down because like, if somebody's got millions 180 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: of followers upset with me, sometimes I'll respond on social 181 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: media because that's at least a fair fight, me going 182 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: after some random guy that kind of feels like what 183 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: the Republican House is doing. I don't think here's a 184 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: good question for you, Buck. What percentage of Americans even 185 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: know who mayorcis is? How many people could identify Mayorcus 186 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: twenty five percent, twenty percent, A tiny percentage of American 187 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: voters know who the HHS secretary is. We need to 188 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: stop the GOP needs to stop playing to the base 189 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: and stop trying to be the person who gets the 190 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: most cheers on Fox News and understand what the race 191 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: is going to turn into now, which is fighting over 192 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: the two or three percent who are actually going to 193 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: show up, who are in the middle, and determine which 194 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: way these states go. We are not going to have 195 00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: a ten point fifteen point landslide in swing states. It's 196 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: just not going to happen. Yeah, Right, So we need 197 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: to understand what the real dynamics are here. And it 198 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: look it's early, it's February. Uh, there's there's some time, 199 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: I think to get this messaging right. But Democrats are 200 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: playing this from given the hand. Uh, given the reality 201 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: of what they have done. 202 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: The fact that Democrats are so brazenly trying to rewrite 203 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 3: history and change the script now should be an indicator 204 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 3: of the ruthlessness. Ruthlessness, yes, through which they were trying 205 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 3: to achieve power. 206 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 2: Thank you. That was a tough one to say. I 207 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: think the challenge too, is. 208 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: Take yourself out of the equation, because I understand some 209 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: of our listeners are out there. You're like, I know 210 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: who Majorcus is, I know who's responsible for what's going 211 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: on at the border. 212 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: That's fine, You're right. 213 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: You are more sophisticated in your knowledge than the average 214 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: voter is. I'm always thinking about the appe voter because 215 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: to me, that's how you win. And the average voter 216 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: out there is super busy. They're concerned about whether or 217 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: not they got Valentine's Day reservations. They're worried about getting 218 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: their kids to a basketball game, or who's going to 219 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: be taking care of the kids on the weekend when 220 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: mom or dad has to work because they got to 221 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,479 Speaker 1: make extra money to deal with the reality of Bidenomics. Right, 222 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: They're not sitting around analyzing nuances of border policy. They 223 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: have a generalized sense that things cost way too much. 224 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: They certainly know that they're not as comfortable with their 225 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: wife or their kids being out late at night as 226 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: they used to be in cities. They understand that there is, 227 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: especially if they live anywhere near a city, that there 228 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: is a massive. 229 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 2: Amount of illegal immigration going on on. 230 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: They know all those things because it impacts and influences 231 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: their day to day life. They're not going to be 232 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: watching may Orcas at an impeachment hearing. You've got to 233 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: make the case against Biden. To me, Mayorcas is punching down. 234 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: Biden is the responsible party here, He's the incompetent one. 235 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: Anything that dilutes the attack to me from Joe Biden 236 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: is a misaligned target on behalf of the Republican Party. 237 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: And that's my concern with the Mayorcas decision in general. 238 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: If you want to call in and yell at Clay 239 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: and tell him how wrong he is eight two two 240 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: two eight eight two, I agree with him. Though, so 241 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: technically you'd be yelling at both of us, but that's fine. 242 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: We want to hear from you. We want to know 243 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: what you think, so light us up. You know, the 244 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: sound of an unborn baby's heartbeat is an incredible thing, 245 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: and to a pregnant mother it's a forever bonding experience 246 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: to hear that sound. I think, just three. 247 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: Weeks into life, a baby's heart begins ends to beat, 248 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: even while being so tiny in the mother's womb. At 249 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: five weeks, a baby's heartbeat can be heard on an ultrasound. 250 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: The staff working at Preborn's Network of clinics knows this 251 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 3: all too well. These clinics welcome pregnant mothers into their 252 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 3: facilities as they consider life or abortion for their unborn child. 253 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 3: As they encourage life, They offer support and resources for 254 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: up to two years after childbirth, and they offer to 255 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: introduce that mother to her child via ultrasound. Preborn needs 256 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 3: our help to save these precious, tiny souls. For just 257 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 3: twenty eight dollars, you could be the difference between the 258 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: life or death of a baby. When you make a 259 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: tax deductible donation of any amount, you'll be helping save 260 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,239 Speaker 3: the lives of unborn children again for twenty eight dollars. 261 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 3: You could be the difference between a child being born 262 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: or child being lost to abortion. This is the mission, 263 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 3: This is the godly pathway that Preborn clinics are undertaking 264 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 3: day in and day out.

But so it was 303 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 3: at m RNA, but it was in New York City. 304 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 3: It was get the shot or lose your job. 305 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 2: That's it. It was get the shot or you're done. 306 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 3: And uh, there's I'm surprised that more people on the 307 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 3: right aren't advocating for this. 308 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. 309 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 3: Maybe Trump has talked about this. Why haven't we agreed 310 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 3: to rehire every person from every branch of the military, 311 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 3: you know, we owe it to them. 312 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 2: I don't know what that is. 313 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 3: Pay with that with back pay, with you know, increase 314 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 3: in rank that would have come from from duration of service. 315 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. 316 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 3: But you and I sit here, man, I'll say this 317 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 3: is one where maybe we're disconnected from even a majority 318 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 3: of the GOP base At this point. People just want 319 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 3: to move on. 320 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: I don't. I am like you. 321 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: You brought up what New York City did and making 322 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 3: everyone like me get I'm still angry about it. 323 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 2: You live in Miami, Now what huge reason? You know? 324 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: People say, oh, we'll do something about it. I did. 325 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 3: I moved to Florida, which I never thought I would do. 326 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: I do love it here, by the way, especially in February, 327 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 3: but I never thought I would leave New York City. 328 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 3: I love New York City, but the leadership of New 329 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 3: York betrayed me and betrayed the Constitution. 330 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: And I have not let it go, and I will 331 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,959 Speaker 2: not let it go. I don't know. 332 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 3: Maybe Trump's gonna start talking about this, but I'm not 333 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 3: sure that people really care. 334 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. I do think that that's a no brainer. 335 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: But to get ninety five percent is such an extraordinary 336 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: number of parents to agree on anything. And the fact 337 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: that you care more and I know all of you do.

I got a wife who 445 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 3: cooks really well. I got a mother in law who 446 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 3: cooks really well. I got sisters in law who are 447 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 3: amazing cooks. So basically I get fat at family holidays. 448 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 3: That's that's what I'm blaming for all. 449 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 1: So, and I get that that is there. There is 450 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: pressure on women for Valentine. I mean, are in Thanksgiving. 451 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: But that's a family pressure situation right where you could 452 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: argue that's worse. But I don't know that there's a 453 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: relationship aspect to that. 454 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 3: I also want to put out there speaking about pressure, 455 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: the pressure to buy roses. Suddenly this flower, which I 456 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 3: think is even technically a weed of some kind, as 457 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 3: thorns all over it. But anyway, this this the rose. 458 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 3: It's probably not true. I know nothing about botany, so 459 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 3: I just made that up. 460 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 2: But the rose is suddenly very very expensive. 461 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 3: You'll notice all is that true country? Or maybe I 462 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 3: just never buy roses and so I realize how expensive 463 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 3: they are. That may be the case. You know a 464 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 3: dozen roses will run you are pretty penny. I bring 465 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 3: this up because I think we can take some of 466 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 3: the stress off of Valentine's Day for all the guys 467 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 3: out there, we're buying a dozen. 468 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 2: Roses for their ladies. I don't know. Maybe some ladies 469 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 2: buy a dozen roses for their guy. Although there are other. 470 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 3: Ways to celebrate Valentine's Day, here is a way to 471 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 3: handle all this. Senate Candidate Barbara Lee has a solution 472 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 3: to our problems of cost and inflation and buying roses 473 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 3: and Valentines and paying the rent and all of it. 474 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 3: Clay a fifty dollars an hour five zero minimum wage 475 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 3: cut one play it. 476 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 5: Both of our Democratic opponents are calling for a minimum 477 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 5: wage between twenty five, twenty and twenty five dollars an hour. 478 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 5: You're calling for a fifty dollars an hour federal minimum wage. 479 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 5: That's seven times the current national minimum wage of seven 480 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 5: to twenty five an hour.

When you can make 510 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 3: everybody rich, let's pay everybody two hundred thousand dollars a year. 511 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: I don't look, these people have no And again sometimes 512 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: these opinions are so dumb. I have to be careful 513 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: not to curse. No freaking idea on basic economics. This 514 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: reminds me of when I was a kid, and I 515 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: remember sitting around watching television and the national debt would 516 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: come on. And when you're a kid, you don't understand 517 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: anything about inflation. You have a childlike economic knowledge, which 518 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: is basically what most Democrats have. And I would always say, 519 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: how could we possibly have a national debt? We can 520 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: just print more money. And the idea of a fifty 521 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: dollars minimum wage buck they're going to pay everybody. You 522 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: mentioned McDonald's. Every fast food worker in California now makes 523 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: twenty dollars an hour, and Big Max are going to 524 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: start costing fifteen dollars in California. 525 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: I mean, this is the biggest story that no. 526 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: One seems able to tell, and this frustrates me in 527 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: many ways. People feel it, but Republicans are unable to 528 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: explain it. 529 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: Let me distill it down into a sentence. 530 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: Since Joe Biden became president, every single person has gotten 531 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: a tax increase because inflation has grown more than your 532 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: wages have grown. So inflation, the average cost is up 533 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: nearly twenty percent for everything since Joe Biden came into office. 534 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 3: So we can add fifty dollars an hour minimum wage 535 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 3: to congressional election, Long Island and Mayork has impeachment to 536 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 3: our call, our call for the next segment. 537 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 2: Let's let's take some calls on this. 538 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, but it's an inability to just distill 539 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: this down. Everything costs too much. You have less money 540 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: in your pocket since Joe Biden became president. Your wages 541 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: have not kept pace with the inflation rate. Still, and 542 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: even in the stock market, you basically have made no 543 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: money over the last three years because inflation has gone 544 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: up more than the Dow has. 545 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: I was looking at the math on this. 546 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 1: Since Joe Biden came into office, at best you have 547 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: tread water because cost has gone up so much. 548 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: Look, it's tax time. 549 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: Your company sent you Sir W two's or the ten 550 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: ninety nine, and you're being bombarded with advertising from tax 551 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: return services offering to help you file with the IRS. 552 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 1: Same time a year when cyber scammers who've stolen your 553 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: identity race to file a bogus tax return with the 554 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: IRS to get your refund ahead of you. 555 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 2: They're successful. 556 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: Last year, they collectively stole more than a billion dollars 557 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: of refund money. 558 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 2: How they pull that off. 559 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: They stole online identities through a data reach or planting 560 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: malware on your device, and they had enough info to 561 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: file those fake tax returns.

This was on a single channel. 595 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: The answer is now, the super Bowl. Over one hundred 596 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: and twenty million people watched on CBS.

I just wanted to say 643 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 8: that the American people are sick and high tired of 644 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 8: seeing public servants that work for us not do their jobs, 645 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 8: and we want some accountability. So I would like for 646 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 8: y'all to spend some time on talking about the impeachment 647 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 8: impact and how it can educate and highlight the terrible 648 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 8: policies that this current administration has been following, so that 649 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 8: we can continue the conversation and keep the awareness going 650 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 8: about how terrible this is for our country and putting 651 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 8: us at risk. 652 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: I appreciate all the things that you're saying, Rebecca. I 653 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: think that impeaching Majorcis is going to have a zero 654 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: impact on this. 655 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 3: I will say that I thought that removing Kevin McCarthy 656 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 3: would have a zero impact for the most part, and 657 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 3: I think that that was true. And I know that 658 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 3: wasn't a popular opinion at the time, but I think 659 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 3: it was true. 660 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: I think, look again, twenty percent of the American public 661 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: maybe even has any. 662 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 2: Idea who mayorcus is. 663 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 1: If you want to impeach Biden and put him on 664 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: trial for the failures at the border, I'm one hundred 665 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: percent in favor of that. He's the guy that's going 666 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: to be on the ballot in November. Maybe one or 667 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 1: two people get percent get swayed buck. The data reflected 668 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: that that was ridiculous. Liz Cheney Jan six hearings did 669 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: have an impact on the midterm election. 670 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 2: We thought it was ridiculous. They put it on primetime. 671 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 3: I think, if you look at the exit polling, we 672 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 3: should do this. I'm gonna go out here and have 673 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 3: a guest clay that in Long Island's there congressional district. 674 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 3: I bet threats to democracy was considered an important thing. 675 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 2: Even though we think it's silly. A lot of people don't. 676 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 1: And when Trump's on the ballot, they're able to make 677 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: that argument. They said Trump in abortion got the win. 678 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: There will break that down for you in more Next
