So over 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: the weekend, a couple of different stories that I think 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: are very connected began to play out relating to as 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure every single one of you knows, June is 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: pride mounk.

Congratulations by the way, 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: to those of us who are prideful out there. Maybe 12 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: I'm sure we have a lot of gay and lesbian 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: listeners all over the country, many of whom may well 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: vote for Republicans, and we certainly welcome you into this 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: brigade of sanity in an insane world. There is an 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: amazing amount of woke hypocrisy out there as it pertains 17 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: to the Pride agenda. One of our writers, buck Guy 18 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: named Bobby Barak, who we've had on the show, did 19 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 1: a great piece where he compared the way that big 20 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: American corporations embrace pride events in the United States on 21 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: their corporate accounts, but pretend that pride is not occurring 22 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: at all on their Chinese and Middle Eastern related accounts. 23 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: In other words, it's sort of a woke capitalism to 24 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: lean into pride in the United States while pretending it 25 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: doesn't exist anywhere else on selective selective woke capitalism. I 26 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: went on over the weekend yesterday with our friend Will 27 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: Caine and Enis Cantor, and we were calling out the NBA, 28 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: which is the woke as sports league in America, for 29 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: not being willing to say, hey, we support basic human 30 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: rights in China while denigrating American institutions to the utmost 31 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: here and I saw two things that really stood out 32 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: to me in a big way. One and I don't 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: even know if you saw this, buck five members of 34 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team refuse to wear a 35 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: Pride flag on their jerseys because they said it conflicted 36 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: with their religious beliefs. They didn't say, hey, gay people 37 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't have rights. They just said, hey, we're not gonna 38 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: wear the Pride flag on our uniforms. And it has 39 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: turned into a major cultural flashpoint also round the same 40 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: time Buck, these videos from a Dallas Pride event went 41 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 1: viral and if you guys didn't see them, And I 42 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: understand a lot of you don't live in the sort 43 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: of social media universe in the same way that Buck 44 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: and I do, but these were spread, these videos widely 45 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: across the entirety of the Internet. And we're talking about Dallas, Texas, 46 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 1: by the way, we're not talking about New York City 47 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: or San Francisco. Dallas, which is in Texas, which is 48 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: a state where we have a monster audience. And I 49 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: think a lot of people wouldn't anticipate necessarily this would 50 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: take place in Dallas. Transgender basically, uh, well, what would 51 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: you even call it, Buck, like a transgender It's it's 52 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: almost like lap dances, drag show. And they were drag 53 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: show specifically put on. So I mean, I I details 54 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: behind this. Yes, it's troubling. Um, it's a drag show 55 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: specifically intended for kids. Now, I wanted them to understand this. 56 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: This is men who are dressed up as women, and 57 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: they are wearing what we would consider if they were 58 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: actually women, provocative attire. Strings. Yeah, thigh high boots, fish nets. 59 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: That is how they are dressed. They are dancing in 60 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: a way that is intended to be sexually provocative. And 61 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: children were and this was even on video, putting like 62 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: dollar bills in the g's. When I see children, eight 63 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: year olds, year old, six year olds, little kids, okay 64 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: not even teenagers putting dollar bills in the g strings 65 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: of these male dressed as women, drag trans or whatever, 66 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: drag individuals. It was the event. I actually have the 67 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: flyer in front of me. It was called Drag the 68 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: Kids to Pride, And there was a huge neon sign 69 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: that all of these adults were dancing under that said 70 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: it's not gonna lick itself. I mean, they're not talking 71 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: about stamps here, folks, like there's a problem. There's a problem. 72 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: I would just say, so here's my I saw these videos, 73 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: and my first thought was, what would the reaction be 74 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: if this was a show basically and it was only 75 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: straight women, right, and you had like if I took 76 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: my seven year old to a to a seven year 77 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: old boy, Clay to a strip club and there were 78 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: women gyrating all over him and he was putting dollar bills. 79 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: He was putting dollar bills, I would expect child Services 80 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: to maybe come visit you and you'd be in some 81 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: you'd have it, I would get I think I would 82 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: get arrested, is the way that I was thinking about it. 83 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: So take it outside of the transagenda and just put 84 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: it on. Hey, if you have I have a first grader. 85 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: If I took my first grader, or my fifth grader, 86 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: or probably my eighth grader to a strip club and 87 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: I allowed them to put dollar bills inside of g strings, 88 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: I probably would get arrested. I certainly would get investigated 89 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: for by Child's Services and it would be a massive story. 90 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: So what is wild to me about this is how 91 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: it is being mainstreamed as normal that you would take 92 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: your kid to a trans show and be putting dollar 93 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: bills in the g strings of these performers. I mean, 94 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: this is this is crazy. This is not an adult event. 95 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: This is specifically designed, as you read from the flyer, 96 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: for children, and combined with the Tampa Bay Raise event 97 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: the players making their choice. I think we're in an 98 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: interesting pivot point, and let me explain what I mean 99 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: by this. Buck To me, there is a difference between saying, hey, 100 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: if this is a lifestyle that is that you think 101 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: makes sense for you as an adult, you do whatever 102 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: makes you happy, you make your choices in your own life, 103 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and requiring, in the case of the Tampa Bay Rays, 104 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: as a condition of employment. Basically, hey, you're going to 105 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: have to wear a special uniform endorsing this and also 106 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: at the same time requiring it, uh, even permitting it, 107 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: I should say, for kids to show up at a drink. 108 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the tolerance here has moved beyond 109 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: tolerance to a mandate of insanity. Yeah, I think you're 110 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: being I mean, now now you're getting there. I think 111 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: this is way too polite talking about oh, the corporate 112 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: and the and the Rays and all the stuff. This 113 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: is deviancy. I mean, this is gross. There's something there's 114 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: something wrong here because exactly what you said, if you 115 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: were to if you were to change, if these were 116 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: adult females, yeah, dancing under the same you know, sign, 117 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: wearing the same stage and the same outfits, and you 118 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: had five year olds putting dollar bills in their underwear, 119 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: people would say that this is child abuse. And it is. 120 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: This is child abuse. I mean the I mean, honestly, 121 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: the fact that they had them dancing and they had 122 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: the sign in the background, it's just mind blowing, like 123 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: I don't understand any adult in Clay the parents brought 124 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: their own children to this event that this isn't like 125 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: the school board snuck this in and no one knew 126 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: what was going on. Why would a parent take their 127 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: eight year old to this? How is that even possible? 128 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a fantastic question. And I think the 129 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: bigger picture here is it's moved beyond Hey, I support 130 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: your ability to make life choices that make you happier 131 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: to it really feels like this this performance was akin 132 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: to what we have seen in schools right where there's 133 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: a reason why for our entire history. Like I will 134 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: buy into the idea. Certainly in nineteen forty if you 135 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: were gay, you didn't feel comfortable in many parts of 136 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: the country saying you were gay. But the idea that 137 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: what's the most recent data that you shared on the show, 138 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: like twenty percent of gen Z now identifies as lg BTQ, yes, transgender, LBGQ, whatever, 139 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: it is, twenty percent, one in five. That is a 140 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: how landish percentage of people relative to what I would 141 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: say the nineties and the two thousands, where people who 142 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: may have not been comfortable being full versions of themselves 143 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: to me, this has changed now we're in the element. 144 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: This feels like recruitment, right. It feels like you are 145 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: trying to put on events to convince kids, like, why 146 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: in the world would there be a transgender show where 147 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: kids are putting dollar bills in the g strings of 148 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: transgender perform than this is okay to exist? Yeah, if 149 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: this is okay, I want I want every I want 150 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: every Democrat politician that walks around, you know, talking about 151 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: how how you know they are big fighters for the 152 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus community. Everything, is this okay? This involves children? 153 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: I want to know if I want every Democrat in 154 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: the state of Texas to start with to answer the 155 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: question was this was this show okay? Because they're not. 156 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: I haven't seen any condemnations of it from it. Obviously 157 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: on the right, a lot of people are outraged about it. 158 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: How could anyone think that this is anything other than sick? 159 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the the notion that this would 160 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: be okay. And I think to your point, Clay about 161 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: the brainwashing, it's not just the kids that are being brainwashed, yea, 162 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: the parents who are bringing the kids. They're saying, oh yeah, 163 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: this is about inclusiveness. This is about diversity and inclusion. 164 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: This is about some thirty year old guy wearing fishnets, 165 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: dressed as you know, with with women's makeup and a 166 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: wig on, shaking his I mean, there are photos I 167 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 1: can't even describe on this radio show what some of 168 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: the photos show without feeling like it's just sorted. It's 169 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: just I think the way to think about it to 170 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: me is, immediately, if it's just a standard strip club environment, 171 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: which by and large is women in lingerie and kids 172 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: are nowhere near strip clubs. In fact, you'll regularly, at 173 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: least historically, some dad will go to a strip club 174 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: and he'll leave his kids in the car outside. Remember this, 175 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: This story happened like quite a few times. And then 176 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: child Human Services shows up and they say, hey, this 177 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: is you know, they do an investigation of whether this 178 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: guy gets to continue to be a parent. And by 179 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: the way, that's front page news stories and local communities 180 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: and everybody talks about how awful it is. And so 181 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking to myself, can you imagine if the 182 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: dad takes his six year old and walks right in 183 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: the strip club and has the six year old sit 184 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: alongside the stage and start putting dollar bills in the 185 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: in the g strings and the thongs and everything. I mean, 186 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: like this would be it's unbelievable that this could be 187 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: mainstream in many ways. And to your point, it's happening 188 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: in Dallas, and I feel like a lot of parents 189 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: are not even aware of what's going on. And by 190 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: the way, there's a lot of gay and lesbian people 191 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: who also think this is crazy. They're like, wait, I've 192 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: got kids, Like, what are you talking about this? Every 193 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: gay friend and I have many close games in the 194 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: New York City. Every day friend that I speak to 195 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: about this says that this is just bizarre that they 196 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: think that this co opting of pride not about civil 197 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: rights or equal rights, equal rights, but being about this 198 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: trans ideology and also really pushing it on children. No 199 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: one should be pushing a sexual agenda of any kind 200 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: anywhere in the vicinity, which is what the Florida bill did, 201 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: which ended up being such a controversy. We're starting to 202 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: get into some very you know, the left. You're realizing 203 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: why there's so much sensitivity. While they they hate this 204 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: term grummer being used, it really sends them into fits 205 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: of rage. Okay, well, why are some people on the 206 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: left and where it's not random isolated events here and there. 207 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: It seems like there's something within the system here of 208 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: left wing activism that wants to subject younger and younger 209 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: children to this stuff. And I mean, I'm kind of 210 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: hard to shock, but the photos and the mines and 211 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: the verbiage of this event in Dallas over the weekend, 212 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: I was just jaw dropping, honestly, And I do think 213 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: that there should be questions asked about how this event 214 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: came to be, why does it exist? Right? I mean, 215 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: if you are the kind of parent who is taking 216 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: your kid to I'm just gonna toss this out there, 217 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: to a transgender strip show. Basically, I don't think your 218 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: kids are likely to be anti gay, right. I mean, 219 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: they may have a lot of other issues, but I 220 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: don't think this is going to be the thing where 221 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: you're like, hey, I was afraid that my eight year 222 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: old was anti gay, so I cleansed him of his 223 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: anti gayness by taking him to a transgender stretch drags. 224 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: I mean to be not that you know, but I 225 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: don't think that these the performers were necessarily trans. They're 226 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: just they're men dressed as as women. So there it's 227 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: a drag show, not a track. I think I don't know. 228 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: I am I am not. This goes beyond my expertise. 229 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: So people who dress up as women might still consider 230 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: themselves men. Um yes, oh yes, and a lot of 231 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: there's some of them are I believe are just our 232 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: gay man, you know, dress and drag as women. I don't. 233 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily a TRANSI issue. Again, we 234 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: have Nammy Wolf joining later. We could ask her. Now 235 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: that you're walking me through it, I think I think 236 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: you're right. I can't even keep up with all this 237 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: at this point, to be quite honest with you, I 238 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: mean I I just see this and the Democrat Party. 239 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: There's something very rotten in the soul of the modern 240 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: left right now. There's something that's really gone off the rails. 241 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: That's what I think. The point in a big, big 242 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: picture here is progressive ism demands that it continue to 243 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: be more progressive, and so at some point it leads 244 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: itself off the edge of a cliff because people start saying, 245 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: wait a minute, this doesn't make any sense. And I 246 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: think that's where we are right where most people are 247 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: okay with somebody being gay or even people being trans, 248 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: who were adults. That's okay, like you make adult choices 249 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: for yourself, But then they keep having to push it 250 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: further and further. And I see it in the world 251 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: of sports, when all of a sudden, buck, we've got Hey, 252 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: the trans agenda requires you to believe that a man 253 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: who identifies as a woman should be able to compete. 254 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: Did you see that great picture over the weekend of 255 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: the woman who came in third place holding her baby 256 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: while two trans guys kissed. Yes, it's crazy, but all 257 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: of this madness continues, and that's why we care so 258 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: much about election election integrity, and that's why AMAC does 259 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: as well. They're the Association of Mature American Citizens engaging 260 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: members of the association to become poll watchers and election 261 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: workers as well. They're encouraging them to do a deeper 262 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: dive in their states and local communities. That means learning 263 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: their election statutes, forming task forces, and asking questions of 264 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: election administrators to keep the process open and fair. Election 265 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: integrity important now during the ongoing primaries, and it's certainly 266 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: going to be that much more important this November when 267 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: the midterm election is here. AMAX worked tirelessly to push 268 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: back against the left and vows to remain steadfast throughout 269 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: the midterms and beyond.

Thank you Clay, Thank 333 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: you Travis for having me on. And it is worse 334 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: than people imagine. You know, down in the Huma sector, 335 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: you're you're seeing about sixteen hundred apprehensions a day. We 336 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: know a hum officials told me that they've already had 337 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: twenty one deaths this year from heat related issues from 338 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: migrants trying to illegally cross the border. And so it 339 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: is a human tragedy. It is not humane. It's insane 340 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: what the Biden administration is doing. But one of the 341 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: big things I just want to keep emphasizing because we 342 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: keep losing these adjectives to describe how terrible it is. 343 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: But so far this fiscal year, there have been nearly 344 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: one point five million encounters of people illegally entering our country. 345 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: So these are the people we know about, not the gataways. 346 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: And that is literally like the population of a place 347 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: like Dallas, Texas or San Diego and just less than 348 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: a year that has tried to illegally come into our country. 349 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: We know the Biden administration now wants a DHS to 350 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: grant asylum. I've got another lawsuits President Biden over that. 351 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: So the Biden administration is decriminalized, incentivized people coming here, 352 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: and we are seeing the results the consequences of not 353 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: only a broken Congress that's damaging this country for years, 354 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: but now when you combine that with Joe Biden, absolutely 355 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: devastating and literally this is the biggest invasion of this 356 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: country since the southwest border, since the Alamo. Hey, aj 357 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: Bernavigen's buck. I just want to know what you think 358 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: could reasonably be not to I mean, there's a lot 359 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: of that could be done. Is there anything that the 360 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: Biden administration could be pushed to do that they would 361 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 1: be willing to do that might start to begin to 362 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: secure the border more? I mean, I just I want't know, Well, 363 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: what should we expect because right now it feels like 364 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: last year was pretty much the worst on record for 365 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: illegal crossings. They're going into a midterm election here with 366 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: another year of perhaps the worst illegal crossing numbers we've 367 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: really seen, certainly in thirty years. And I want to 368 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: know what you think they'll do if they do get 369 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: wiped out in the mid terms, if it is bad 370 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: for the Democrats, will they start to take measures at 371 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: the border or is this just going to continue on 372 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: because they're so ideologically devoted to it. You know, what 373 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: could they do? What would they do? But Buck, I 374 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: think what is happening is that whoever speaking in Joe 375 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: Biden's earpiece, that they are hardcore radical leftists and this 376 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: is all part of that whole neo Marxist strategy where 377 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: they want to fundamentally, you know, change American society, not 378 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: based on immigration, but they want people to become dependent 379 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: on a central authority in Washington, DC. And so the 380 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: Biden administration is shown that they have absolutely no respect 381 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: for federal law and they certainly have no patience for 382 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: the Constitution. And I don't think they have any discernible 383 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: strategy other than doing whatever meets the far left agenda. 384 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: They're going to ignore the Constitution and basically deny that 385 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: it's damaging anyone's lives. But we know that, you know, 386 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: places like human Arizona coaches County Arizona are being overwhelmed 387 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: not only by the amount of people illegally entering the 388 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: country and you know, the devastation to the desert southwest, 389 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: but also social resources. And it's one of the reasons 390 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: why when I sued President by and I argued earlier 391 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: this year at the Supreme Court that they cannot withdraw 392 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: the public charge rule because the Biden administration wants to 393 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: give benefits you know, housing, food, snap, all that govern 394 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: all those government benefits to non citizens, and so that 395 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: will continue to incentivize people breaking the law and quite 396 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: frankly coming here for the wrong reasons. What are you 397 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: hearing on the ground. I know you're running for the Senate. 398 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: Obviously there's an open governor's race going on too. Arizona 399 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: is going to be one of the top battlegrounds in 400 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: the entire country. We know how close and how much 401 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: of a mess things were in the twenty twenty presidential election. 402 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: What are you hearing from people on the ground about 403 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: their opinion of the direction of the country and Joe 404 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: Biden's first year and a half in office as we 405 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: sit five months from mid term election day. Well, you know, 406 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: I grew up here in Arizona. Guy, I am the 407 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: first generation American, and I know why people want to 408 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: come to this country because the rule law means something 409 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: that everyone has an opportunity, you know, an equal chance 410 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: to get ahead, no matter who they are, how you 411 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: spell your last name. And I'm a public school kid. 412 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: I still live in the same neighborhood I grew up. 413 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: And when I go to the grocery store, when I 414 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: talk to the postal carry, when I talk to folks 415 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: in our neighborhood, and my wife and I are walking 416 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: our donks, people cannot believe how gas prices have gone 417 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: through the roof. People are smart enough to know when 418 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: gas prices shoot through the roof, that has an effect 419 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: on everything. It affects the what happens at the grocery 420 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: store in effect impacts what people are paying for rent 421 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 1: or housing. Prices here have gone through the roof. So 422 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,959 Speaker 1: people know something is fundamentally wrong. And no matter how 423 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: much Joe Biden or Cartel Kelly or you know, Nancy 424 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: Plots or whoever tries to deny, it's their fault. The 425 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 1: reality is as a result of the reckless spending and 426 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: these COVID relief bills that spent money we don't have, 427 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: and concentrated power in DC and the Biden administration canceling 428 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, auctions, offshore drilling, you know exploration in places 429 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: like you know, Alaska that has an impact on our economy. 430 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: And people know Joe Biden, Mark Kelly, Chuck Humor and 431 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: Antipolosi the Democrats are responsible as they control all the 432 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: levers of power and they've created a mess of our economy. 433 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: And so whether it's at the gas pump, the grocery store, 434 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: or all the gangs now that are infiltrating our neighborhoods, 435 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: people are upset and they know that something is fundamentally wrong, 436 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: and quite frankly, we're on the wrong path. And that's 437 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: why as long as we have good, solid candidates that 438 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: can articulate and defend our conservative values, we win. But 439 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: we need to stand up to the leftist mob. Speaking 440 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: to Attorney General Mark Bernovich for the state of Arizona's 441 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: running for Senate there as well, Adi Bernovich, the crime issue, 442 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: we're talking today a lot about progressive prosecutors and the 443 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: reckoning that the American people, notably in the cities where 444 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: these prosecutors are making decisions that affect people's lives. There's 445 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: a recognition, I think that this has been disastrous. I 446 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: know Phoenix has seen something of an increase in murders 447 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. Are has the state 448 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: of Arizona hit by the progressive prosecutor reality as well 449 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: in any of the cities, and what could be done 450 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: to bring down crime in your state? Well, we have 451 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: seen and I was a gang prosector. It began my 452 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: career as a gang prosecutor as a federal prosecutor. So 453 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: I understand this issue, and I understand when people enter 454 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: the social compact. This is why people enter government and 455 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: they elect people because it's the primary function of government, 456 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: you know, public safety. And so we now in Phoenix 457 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: you have a democratic mayor, you have a democratic city council. 458 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: You know, they have demonized the police departments to some extent. 459 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: We have the federal government now investigating, you know, our 460 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: police department over allegations related to civil rights abuses. And 461 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: so when you don't have law enforcements back on a 462 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: local level, and when you have the federal government trying 463 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,479 Speaker 1: to micromanage what they're doing, you're going to get police 464 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: departments that are worried about, you know, not doing their job, 465 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: and they aren't as effective. We've seen that in bigger 466 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: cities like New York, where you know, stop and frist 467 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: policies get revoked and you end up with more crime. 468 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: And as you guys have talked about, both of you 469 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: have talked about, when you end up with progressive prosecutors 470 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: in places like Cook County, Illinois and San Francisco, LA 471 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: that ignore crimes, that will not prosecute property crimes under 472 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: less than a thousand dollars, you end up with more crime. 473 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: And this goes back to you know, the broken windows 474 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: theory James Q. Wilson wrote about when you allow little crimes, 475 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: so called little crimes, property crimes, you know, crimes with 476 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, you know, public spray painting, you know, low 477 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: level crimes, you end up seeing more and more crimes 478 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: that empowers the gangs, and then you end up with 479 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: more violence in your communities. And so I have always 480 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: been a big believer that you need to aggressively prosecute 481 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: every crime. If if it's a crime, and if on 482 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: the books, you have to prosecutor, and if you don't, 483 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: if prosecutors turn their blind eye to that, then you 484 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: will end up with more crime and a disrespect quite 485 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: frankly for the system and the undermining of the rule 486 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: of law. And you know, once again, the whole reason, 487 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: you know, our system, our country is based on a 488 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: constitutional you know constitution that believes in the separation of 489 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: powers and federalism, but it also believes that we have 490 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: to have consistency and certainty in the application of the law. 491 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: And that's what the rule of law is all about. 492 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: How's the American county prosecutor doing, Mark, Well, you know, unfortunately, 493 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: rest are soul. The county prosecutor was having doing some issues, 494 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: some cases weren't being prosecuted, and she recently just passed away. 495 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: So we now have a new prosecutor um that's taken 496 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: over the county prosecutor's office. So you know, we'll see 497 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: how that office managesition. I didn't realize interesting, yes, and 498 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: so it's been in transition, and you know, we've obviously, 499 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, our office is doing now, you know, a 500 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: bunch of you know, drug cases because the cartels are 501 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: pouring drugs into our state. We're seeing the price off 502 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: and all dramatically decline. We've been very aggressive and prosecuting 503 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: human trafficking cases. But you know, as you allude to 504 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: the how many attorneys, the district attorneys, they are the 505 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: primary people that have to prosecute, you know, the arm robberies, 506 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: the homicide. That is their job. And you know, quite frankly, 507 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: later this week we've been involved. Our office prosecuted a 508 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: case involving a degenerate killer who raped and brutally killed 509 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: a seven year old girl who's been forty years ago, 510 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: and we are still fighting to him and executed the 511 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: execution except for this Wednesday. And I tell folks all 512 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: the time that we need to have certainty and consistency, 513 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: and when people commit the alternate crimes, they deserve the 514 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: alterimate punishment. So I'm doing everything I can to make 515 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: sure I'm holding these degenerate criminals accountable.

Even Harvard 546 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: admitted Florida, we've seen no why think of any achievement 547 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: gaps between rich poor, black white because we actually had 548 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: kids in school and so that's going to have a 549 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: huge impact negative in these other states, and we will 550 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: have mitigated a lot of the damage by having it 551 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: here in Florida. And you can't put a price tag 552 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: on that. You can't put a price tag on opportunity 553 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: for kids and making sure parents have the ability and 554 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: of course the separate from the budget. You know, we 555 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: believe that when parents send their kids to school, it's 556 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: for education, not for indoctrination. And we're going to hold 557 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: out line a Florida govern Arohnda Santas of Florida there 558 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,160 Speaker 1: continuing to lead the way on so many issues. And 559 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: I still keep asking this question and by the people 560 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: always answer it like, look, well, if you've not thought 561 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: of this. No, No, I ask it rhetorically. I know 562 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: there are plenty of reasons why, but I asked the 563 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 1: question to bring attention to it. Why aren't more Republican governors, 564 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: including in much better states than Florida following De Santis's lead. 565 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 1: He takes on Disney, he wins. He takes on the 566 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: woke left, he wins. He takes on Fauciism, he wins. 567 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: And he is turning Florida increasingly not just into a 568 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: beacon of freedom from COVID and COVID lockdown madness, but 569 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: also an increasingly read state that is implementing conservative policies 570 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: and ideas with considerable success. So I just I asked 571 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,239 Speaker 1: the question. I know it's because there are a lot 572 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: of corporatists out there, including governors of varia red states, 573 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: or people who want those I want those corporate donations 574 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: to flow, They want the New York Times to write 575 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: nice things about them. You know, they're not one of 576 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: the bad Republicans. So I think it's worth noting De 577 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: Santis continues to lead the charge on so many of 578 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: these things. I always tell everybody this. The second he 579 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: disappoints me, I'll say it hasn't happened yet. Hasn't happened yet, Clay, 580 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: I look at things, you know, Buck, I'm always trying 581 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: to figure out how to get to sixty percent. Right. 582 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: I want to And I understand people out there who 583 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: are like, Hey, I want to win no matter what. 584 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: I want to win by five thousand votes if necessary. 585 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to be in a position in twenty 586 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: twenty two or in twenty twenty four where we're sitting 587 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: around and you feel like you can't go to sleep 588 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: because forty thousand ballots may come rolling in that are 589 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: going to change the outcome of an entire election. Right, 590 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: And regardless of what you think in twenty twenty that 591 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: happened in twenty sixteen, that happened. These were really pen 592 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: prick elections one way or the other. And in fact, 593 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: you can say that for the entire twenty first century 594 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: because the only race that happened in the twenty first century. 595 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: Think about this for a minute where both sides said, yeah, 596 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with who won, and there's no shady Shenanigan's 597 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: funny business that was involved is Obama oh eight? Think 598 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: about that, Buck, We've had now twenty plus years of 599 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: Elections two thousand Bush v. Gore two thousand and four 600 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: Bush Kerry Democrats said, hey, John Carry in Ohio, some 601 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: key business went on there. Oh eight, Obama one. I 602 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: think almost everybody agrees. Twelve Carry, I mean, sorry, Romney 603 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: versus Obama, very tight. Sixteen Trump versus Hillary, Now twenty 604 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 1: Trump versus Biden. Who is the person that can kick 605 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: down the door and actually give us a landslide election. 606 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,399 Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking about, because I think we're gonna 607 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: get a red wave in twenty two. Who is that 608 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: candidate in twenty four that is going to not just win, 609 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: but by like nine o'clock Eastern on election Night, We're 610 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: gonna be like, let's pop it, let's pop the champagne. 611 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: There is a Republican back in the White House. I 612 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: do think it's worth noted Republicans accepted the election outcome 613 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight really without complaint, and two 614 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 1: and twelve without complaint. It was Democrats who in twenty 615 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: sixteen decided to make up a fantasy of Russia stealing 616 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: the election because there are a bunch of babies who 617 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 1: assumed that Hillary was going to shatter the ultimate class 618 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,959 Speaker 1: ceiling got a couple calls that look interesting to uh 619 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: to my eyes. Let's get to them right now. Elaine 620 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: in Florida, Elaine, you got a story to tell us? Hi, 621 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: I gotta say. I love my governor. I think he 622 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: can do it, but we don't want to give him 623 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: up down here. So yeah, but going back to the 624 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: to the drag shows. Um, so we are formerly of 625 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: New York.

And these shows are everywhere, 629 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 1: and they honestly compared it to take in the kids 630 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: to Disney on ice or stuffed me straight Live like 631 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,919 Speaker 1: it was no big deal. They think it's clean, fun 632 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: entertainment for the kids. And they were even upset that 633 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: the eight year old cried at the event and didn't 634 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: want to be there.
