Welcome the Hold On. I'm 4 00:00:27,897 --> 00:00:33,497 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton. Is the left fighting a losing battle on 5 00:00:33,657 --> 00:00:37,097 Speaker 1: many fronts of the culture war Right now, it certainly 6 00:00:37,177 --> 00:00:40,577 Speaker 1: seems like it's moving in that direction, which would be 7 00:00:40,617 --> 00:00:43,857 Speaker 1: the first time in a long time that the Democrat Party, 8 00:00:44,057 --> 00:00:49,097 Speaker 1: the progressives of those who seek to do damage to 9 00:00:49,217 --> 00:00:54,697 Speaker 1: our lasting traditional cultural institutions may find themselves with the 10 00:00:54,737 --> 00:00:59,177 Speaker 1: American people saying enough is enough. But first, the Supreme 11 00:00:59,217 --> 00:01:02,817 Speaker 1: Court decision that we're all waiting for that is expected 12 00:01:02,937 --> 00:01:07,097 Speaker 1: based upon a leak of an earlier draft to overturn 13 00:01:07,697 --> 00:01:11,217 Speaker 1: Row the Wade has not been released as of yet. 14 00:01:11,577 --> 00:01:14,417 Speaker 1: It could come any day now. It is likely to 15 00:01:14,457 --> 00:01:18,017 Speaker 1: come in the next week or so. And that means 16 00:01:18,057 --> 00:01:19,697 Speaker 1: that there are going to be some people who view 17 00:01:19,737 --> 00:01:24,417 Speaker 1: this as a massive, a massive move in the right 18 00:01:24,457 --> 00:01:27,457 Speaker 1: direction when it comes to the rights of unborn babies. 19 00:01:27,897 --> 00:01:31,337 Speaker 1: There will be others, however, the activists of the pro 20 00:01:31,457 --> 00:01:34,857 Speaker 1: abortion movement who are enrage And one thing you notice 21 00:01:34,857 --> 00:01:36,457 Speaker 1: about so many of the people that are the most 22 00:01:36,537 --> 00:01:42,297 Speaker 1: vocal in favor of abortion. They often seem unhinged and 23 00:01:42,417 --> 00:01:46,537 Speaker 1: quite a bit nasty. Here's a pro choice activist, for examples, 24 00:01:46,857 --> 00:02:33,897 Speaker 1: shouting some abscenity, obscenities at students for like what such 25 00:02:33,977 --> 00:02:38,337 Speaker 1: anger and also sadness at the same time from a 26 00:02:38,377 --> 00:02:41,537 Speaker 1: young woman who clearly is bit lost. But there are 27 00:02:41,537 --> 00:02:45,297 Speaker 1: so many of these abortion activists, these people for whom 28 00:02:45,337 --> 00:02:50,737 Speaker 1: abortion is really they find the fundamental freedom of women 29 00:02:51,617 --> 00:02:56,697 Speaker 1: that seem deeply unhappy, unsettled, perhaps even a bit unhinged, 30 00:02:57,257 --> 00:02:59,617 Speaker 1: And that's gonna get a whole lot worse if the 31 00:02:59,657 --> 00:03:03,417 Speaker 1: decision does come down as a five four overturning of 32 00:03:04,097 --> 00:03:08,817 Speaker 1: Row the Wade. Democrats don't have any particular messaging on 33 00:03:08,897 --> 00:03:13,017 Speaker 1: this that holds together makes sense. Vice President Harris, for example, 34 00:03:13,057 --> 00:03:18,297 Speaker 1: has said recently that there's nothing about abortion that will 35 00:03:18,297 --> 00:03:23,537 Speaker 1: require anyone to abandon their faith. Well, if you're a Catholic, 36 00:03:23,577 --> 00:03:27,097 Speaker 1: for example, a believing Catholic who follows the tenets of 37 00:03:27,137 --> 00:03:30,537 Speaker 1: the church, that's not true. Despite the fact that there 38 00:03:30,537 --> 00:03:36,497 Speaker 1: are Democrat activists and Democrat politicians who say otherwise. There 39 00:03:36,617 --> 00:03:39,577 Speaker 1: is in fact a connection or many people of faith 40 00:03:39,657 --> 00:03:43,377 Speaker 1: to the need to protect unborn babies in the womb, 41 00:03:43,977 --> 00:03:48,217 Speaker 1: and this seems like a major a major blow to 42 00:03:48,337 --> 00:03:50,937 Speaker 1: the Left is coming at least in the days ahead 43 00:03:50,937 --> 00:03:53,777 Speaker 1: here from the reversal of Roe v. Wade, And after 44 00:03:53,977 --> 00:03:58,297 Speaker 1: decades of being able to lean on this stake constitutional right, 45 00:03:59,017 --> 00:04:01,337 Speaker 1: now they'll have to actually take this to the States, 46 00:04:01,337 --> 00:04:04,817 Speaker 1: which means making an argument instead of just shouting about 47 00:04:04,857 --> 00:04:07,377 Speaker 1: how it's a right, it's a right. So they may 48 00:04:07,457 --> 00:04:09,657 Speaker 1: lose because of the courts on that one. On the 49 00:04:09,697 --> 00:04:16,057 Speaker 1: issue of the transagenda and transgender athletes specifically, much more 50 00:04:16,097 --> 00:04:18,217 Speaker 1: likely that the Left is going to be losing ground 51 00:04:18,657 --> 00:04:21,497 Speaker 1: as we see it play out going into the midterm elections. 52 00:04:22,537 --> 00:04:27,177 Speaker 1: Megan Rappino is a female soccer player from the US 53 00:04:27,337 --> 00:04:30,497 Speaker 1: national team who is for the end of her career. 54 00:04:30,657 --> 00:04:35,737 Speaker 1: She's almost forty, and she has given some very dismissive 55 00:04:36,457 --> 00:04:41,017 Speaker 1: and snide comments recently about anybody who plays women's sports 56 00:04:41,057 --> 00:04:45,257 Speaker 1: being upset at the fact that there are men, biological males, 57 00:04:45,857 --> 00:04:54,137 Speaker 1: individuals with male genitalia, x Y chromosomes, etc. That anyone 58 00:04:54,137 --> 00:04:57,577 Speaker 1: who's upset about that play about them playing in female 59 00:04:57,617 --> 00:05:02,657 Speaker 1: sports is being childish, being selfish. I mean, here's one 60 00:05:02,817 --> 00:05:05,337 Speaker 1: example of a quote from her show Me the evidence 61 00:05:06,217 --> 00:05:10,377 Speaker 1: that trans women are taking everyone's scholarships, dominating in every sport, 62 00:05:10,417 --> 00:05:14,377 Speaker 1: winning every title. I'm sorry, it's just not happening. So 63 00:05:14,417 --> 00:05:18,057 Speaker 1: we need to start from inclusion, period and as things arise, 64 00:05:18,217 --> 00:05:19,897 Speaker 1: I have confidence that we can figure it out, but 65 00:05:19,937 --> 00:05:22,777 Speaker 1: we can't start from the opposite. It's cool and frankly disgusting, 66 00:05:23,417 --> 00:05:25,017 Speaker 1: she said. So we need to really take a step 67 00:05:25,017 --> 00:05:27,097 Speaker 1: back and get a grip on what we're talking about here, 68 00:05:27,497 --> 00:05:30,457 Speaker 1: because people's lives are at risk. Kid's lives are at 69 00:05:30,537 --> 00:05:33,217 Speaker 1: risk when the rates of suicide, rates of depression, negative 70 00:05:33,257 --> 00:05:35,857 Speaker 1: mental health, and a drug abuse. We're putting everything through 71 00:05:35,897 --> 00:05:39,817 Speaker 1: God forbid a transperson be successful in sports. Get a grip, 72 00:05:39,897 --> 00:05:42,577 Speaker 1: take a step back. And she also said something along 73 00:05:42,617 --> 00:05:45,817 Speaker 1: lines of your daughter's high school volleyball team, isn't that important? 74 00:05:45,857 --> 00:05:50,177 Speaker 1: Get over yourself. She's a fraud and an imbecile. Fraud 75 00:05:50,217 --> 00:05:53,617 Speaker 1: insofar as if men were allowed to play in women's sports, 76 00:05:53,657 --> 00:05:56,217 Speaker 1: nobody would ever heard of her because she would be 77 00:05:56,257 --> 00:06:00,817 Speaker 1: dominated not just by any male professional soccer player, by 78 00:06:01,817 --> 00:06:04,297 Speaker 1: trained fifteen and sixteen year old men. As we know, 79 00:06:04,337 --> 00:06:06,337 Speaker 1: they actually were able to defeat the women's national team 80 00:06:06,337 --> 00:06:08,377 Speaker 1: and a friendly not long ago. I think they are 81 00:06:08,377 --> 00:06:11,537 Speaker 1: actually fourteen and fifteen year old. So fourteen and fifteen 82 00:06:11,577 --> 00:06:13,577 Speaker 1: year old men can beat the best women's soccer team 83 00:06:13,617 --> 00:06:17,337 Speaker 1: in the world. Yeah, so start with that, which I 84 00:06:17,337 --> 00:06:19,697 Speaker 1: think is just interesting because after she was able to 85 00:06:19,777 --> 00:06:23,737 Speaker 1: use sex segregated sports to her advantage for decades, now 86 00:06:23,737 --> 00:06:26,097 Speaker 1: she wants to laugh for the destruction of that. But 87 00:06:26,097 --> 00:06:28,577 Speaker 1: but notice also the way that this is framed as 88 00:06:28,737 --> 00:06:31,977 Speaker 1: you either don't want people to live or you allow, 89 00:06:32,617 --> 00:06:34,657 Speaker 1: you know, a two hundred and fifty pound man to 90 00:06:34,737 --> 00:06:40,377 Speaker 1: play on a women's field hockey team. That's just completely unfair. 91 00:06:41,097 --> 00:06:44,417 Speaker 1: Everyone knows it. Everyone at a very basic common sense 92 00:06:44,497 --> 00:06:48,257 Speaker 1: level understands how absurd this is. But wokeness demands you 93 00:06:48,337 --> 00:06:53,057 Speaker 1: embrace absurdity. Wokeness the left, the Democrat party demand of 94 00:06:53,137 --> 00:06:56,457 Speaker 1: you that you reject what you can see with your 95 00:06:56,457 --> 00:07:00,977 Speaker 1: own eyes, reject what you can observe yourself. And that's why. 96 00:07:01,017 --> 00:07:02,977 Speaker 1: And also, of course there's a lot of virtue signaling here. 97 00:07:03,017 --> 00:07:06,537 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I care so much about trans inclusivity and sports, 98 00:07:06,737 --> 00:07:10,217 Speaker 1: so I'm a good person. What about the women men 99 00:07:10,257 --> 00:07:12,537 Speaker 1: who are trying really hard to be the best in 100 00:07:12,577 --> 00:07:18,137 Speaker 1: their sport, just essentially abolishing that for them is somehow 101 00:07:18,777 --> 00:07:25,457 Speaker 1: the dismissiveness, the snide tone Rapino is gross. And then 102 00:07:25,497 --> 00:07:29,657 Speaker 1: there's Olympic swimmer Sharon Davies, who's who revealed recently she 103 00:07:29,737 --> 00:07:34,497 Speaker 1: has received death threat because she spoke out against trans 104 00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:37,577 Speaker 1: women also known as men who think they are women 105 00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:41,577 Speaker 1: in women's sport. Why so it really is, you know, 106 00:07:41,617 --> 00:07:44,297 Speaker 1: everybody is scared because the moment you try to speak out, 107 00:07:44,377 --> 00:07:46,457 Speaker 1: just ask for furnish, you get called names, you get 108 00:07:46,457 --> 00:07:49,697 Speaker 1: death threats, you get the cras wringing up your employers 109 00:07:49,897 --> 00:07:52,257 Speaker 1: trying to get your sack, trying to get your unemployed. 110 00:07:52,777 --> 00:07:55,577 Speaker 1: You know, there's not being respectful debate on both sides 111 00:07:55,617 --> 00:07:58,817 Speaker 1: of this, you know, I it has to be out 112 00:07:58,857 --> 00:08:00,817 Speaker 1: in the open. You know, it's trying to light on 113 00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:03,377 Speaker 1: everything to find solutions for everybody. And that's what this 114 00:08:03,417 --> 00:08:05,377 Speaker 1: has always been about. From my side. It's never been 115 00:08:05,417 --> 00:08:10,977 Speaker 1: about excluding trans people. It's been about promote too fast forward, 116 00:08:12,937 --> 00:08:17,857 Speaker 1: promoting fair sport. Yeah, that is certainly what it's about, 117 00:08:17,857 --> 00:08:21,817 Speaker 1: among other things. And then there's this video the American people, 118 00:08:21,817 --> 00:08:25,057 Speaker 1: I think recognizing that even in the US Navy, the 119 00:08:25,177 --> 00:08:29,857 Speaker 1: pronoun mania and the trans inclusivity doctrine our mandatory. This 120 00:08:29,897 --> 00:08:33,737 Speaker 1: is a US Navy training video. Watch them. Hi, my 121 00:08:33,817 --> 00:08:36,057 Speaker 1: name is Johnny, and I use he him pronouns. Hi. 122 00:08:36,137 --> 00:08:38,657 Speaker 1: And I'm County and I use Chi her pronouns. And 123 00:08:38,697 --> 00:08:42,017 Speaker 1: we're here to talk about pronouns. What is a pronoun? 124 00:08:42,177 --> 00:08:46,137 Speaker 1: A pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name, 125 00:08:46,377 --> 00:08:49,137 Speaker 1: and it's also how people are referred to us in conversations. 126 00:08:49,417 --> 00:08:51,977 Speaker 1: Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to 127 00:08:52,017 --> 00:08:56,537 Speaker 1: affirm someone's identity. It is a signal of acceptance and respect. 128 00:08:56,977 --> 00:08:59,497 Speaker 1: If it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do 129 00:08:59,577 --> 00:09:03,377 Speaker 1: we go about creating a safe space for everybody? That's 130 00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,417 Speaker 1: a good question. A really good way to do that 131 00:09:05,497 --> 00:09:08,617 Speaker 1: is to use inclusive language. Instead of saying something like 132 00:09:08,817 --> 00:09:14,137 Speaker 1: hey guys, you can say hey everyone or hey team yeah. 133 00:09:14,137 --> 00:09:16,457 Speaker 1: And now that you say that, Another way that we 134 00:09:16,497 --> 00:09:19,977 Speaker 1: could show that we're allies and that we accept everybody 135 00:09:20,017 --> 00:09:22,937 Speaker 1: is to maybe include our pronouns in our emails or 136 00:09:23,137 --> 00:09:28,977 Speaker 1: like we just did, introduce ourselves using our pronouns. This 137 00:09:29,457 --> 00:09:33,657 Speaker 1: stuff continues on this wokeness infiltrating all across the military. 138 00:09:33,657 --> 00:09:35,937 Speaker 1: We're gonna end up losing a major ward. At one point, year, 139 00:09:35,937 --> 00:09:37,417 Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna say, why why do we not have 140 00:09:37,457 --> 00:09:39,417 Speaker 1: the a spree accord to fight a battle to the 141 00:09:39,537 --> 00:09:43,257 Speaker 1: very end, because we're worried about pronouns that our friend 142 00:09:43,417 --> 00:09:45,737 Speaker 1: ned Ryan of American majority coming up in Just as 143 00:09:45,737 --> 00:09:47,737 Speaker 1: I can to tell us about the political landscape, as 144 00:09:47,777 --> 00:09:49,457 Speaker 1: there are some elections today and of course the big 145 00:09:49,457 --> 00:09:53,857 Speaker 1: election coming up this fall, stick around, Let's talk about 146 00:09:53,857 --> 00:09:55,537 Speaker 1: protecting your home for a minute.

And there was a big election that just 188 00:12:13,817 --> 00:12:17,337 Speaker 1: happened last week that has some indicators of what we 189 00:12:17,377 --> 00:12:19,377 Speaker 1: could be expecting this fall when it comes to Hispanic 190 00:12:19,417 --> 00:12:23,217 Speaker 1: vote in the GOP. Whenever we're talking politics, we want 191 00:12:23,257 --> 00:12:25,737 Speaker 1: a man who has his finger on the pulse, who 192 00:12:25,817 --> 00:12:29,217 Speaker 1: is a prognosticator par excellence, who understands where all this 193 00:12:29,257 --> 00:12:32,177 Speaker 1: stuff is going. We've got to talk to our friend, Ned, Ryan, 194 00:12:32,377 --> 00:12:36,617 Speaker 1: CEO of American Majority. He joins us. Now, my main name, 195 00:12:37,297 --> 00:12:39,537 Speaker 1: my main man, Ned, How are you buddy? Good to 196 00:12:39,577 --> 00:12:42,137 Speaker 1: see you, hey, I'm doing well. Book. Good to be 197 00:12:42,137 --> 00:12:46,457 Speaker 1: back with you. So the victory of Myra Flores in 198 00:12:46,537 --> 00:12:51,257 Speaker 1: Texas's District thirty four last week to you, one district 199 00:12:51,537 --> 00:12:55,497 Speaker 1: tucked down along the US Mexico border, Rio Grande Valley. 200 00:12:56,057 --> 00:13:00,737 Speaker 1: What do you take from that? Within, Well, I'm pretty 201 00:13:00,777 --> 00:13:05,057 Speaker 1: optimistic buck already. I don't want to get overly optimistic 202 00:13:05,097 --> 00:13:08,457 Speaker 1: though looking at these results, but I do think things 203 00:13:08,497 --> 00:13:10,657 Speaker 1: are moving in our favor and a lot of different ways. 204 00:13:10,697 --> 00:13:12,377 Speaker 1: I mean, go back and look at December. There was 205 00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:16,177 Speaker 1: a bolt done of the Hispanic community in which they 206 00:13:16,177 --> 00:13:17,817 Speaker 1: were asked who do you plan on voting for in 207 00:13:17,857 --> 00:13:20,217 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two mid terms, and it was thirty 208 00:13:20,217 --> 00:13:23,257 Speaker 1: seven percent Republican thirty seven percent Democrats. So they've been 209 00:13:23,297 --> 00:13:26,897 Speaker 1: signed along the way that you get to April, Joe 210 00:13:26,937 --> 00:13:30,057 Speaker 1: Biden's approval rating with the Hispanic community was only at 211 00:13:30,097 --> 00:13:34,377 Speaker 1: twenty six percent. And the thing that the Hispanic community 212 00:13:34,417 --> 00:13:37,297 Speaker 1: has made very clear is their number one issue is inflation. Right. 213 00:13:37,337 --> 00:13:39,017 Speaker 1: What a shocker. Right, for the rest of the country, 214 00:13:39,057 --> 00:13:42,217 Speaker 1: it's inflation. For the Hispanic community, it's inflation. So they're 215 00:13:42,217 --> 00:13:45,657 Speaker 1: looking at this and blaming Joe Biden and the Democratic 216 00:13:45,697 --> 00:13:48,697 Speaker 1: Party for what's taking place rightly. So, so I think 217 00:13:48,697 --> 00:13:50,537 Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of different trends that are pointing 218 00:13:50,537 --> 00:13:52,617 Speaker 1: in our direction that are going to be very beneficial 219 00:13:52,657 --> 00:13:56,297 Speaker 1: to the Republicans with the Hispanic community come this fall. 220 00:13:56,977 --> 00:13:59,777 Speaker 1: I think the Flora's victory is an indication of that. 221 00:14:00,297 --> 00:14:03,457 Speaker 1: I actually, Buck, I gotta tell you, when you're looking 222 00:14:03,497 --> 00:14:07,537 Speaker 1: at some of these approval ratings Joe Biden various demographics. 223 00:14:07,937 --> 00:14:10,057 Speaker 1: Not only is he taking with the Hispanics, he's taken 224 00:14:10,377 --> 00:14:13,217 Speaker 1: with the Asian American community. I think seventy six percent 225 00:14:13,217 --> 00:14:15,577 Speaker 1: of them voted for him in twenty twenty he's down 226 00:14:15,577 --> 00:14:18,697 Speaker 1: at fifty three percent. So it's not only the Hispanic community, 227 00:14:18,737 --> 00:14:21,777 Speaker 1: but there's other demographics that Joe Biden is very very 228 00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:26,697 Speaker 1: badly present. Quinnipiac poll shows that Biden's approval among Hispanic 229 00:14:26,777 --> 00:14:29,977 Speaker 1: voters dropped from May of twenty twenty one, it was 230 00:14:30,097 --> 00:14:33,057 Speaker 1: fifty five percent. I mean, you know, solid numbers there 231 00:14:33,097 --> 00:14:37,417 Speaker 1: for Biden May of twenty twenty two, twenty six percent. 232 00:14:38,057 --> 00:14:41,697 Speaker 1: That is do not pass, go, do not collect two 233 00:14:41,777 --> 00:14:44,857 Speaker 1: hundred dollars kind of approval number. That is rough stuff 234 00:14:44,937 --> 00:14:49,017 Speaker 1: right there. And you're seeing that kind of holding over 235 00:14:49,097 --> 00:14:51,697 Speaker 1: the course of months. It's not like it's bumping up 236 00:14:51,697 --> 00:14:54,377 Speaker 1: and down and going in Biden's bay and then dropping 237 00:14:54,377 --> 00:14:56,577 Speaker 1: back down. No, it's holding pretty steady at that twenty 238 00:14:56,577 --> 00:14:58,777 Speaker 1: six point seven twenty eight percent of bruval rating in 239 00:14:58,777 --> 00:15:01,857 Speaker 1: the Hispanic community. I mean, these are all teletell signs 240 00:15:01,857 --> 00:15:05,137 Speaker 1: that they have real problem. I'm stating the obvious, Buck 241 00:15:05,177 --> 00:15:09,057 Speaker 1: when I say this, Democrats are facing an absolute slacking 242 00:15:09,737 --> 00:15:11,817 Speaker 1: come this fault, in fact so much Buck, I mean, 243 00:15:11,857 --> 00:15:14,857 Speaker 1: I'm here in my home state of Virginia, where it 244 00:15:14,897 --> 00:15:17,297 Speaker 1: was a twelve point flit between twenty twenty and twenty 245 00:15:17,337 --> 00:15:20,017 Speaker 1: twenty one. When you look at Biden versus Junkin, I 246 00:15:20,097 --> 00:15:22,057 Speaker 1: have to tell you I feel very comfortable in saying 247 00:15:22,097 --> 00:15:24,697 Speaker 1: anything that Joe Biden won by twelve or thirteen points 248 00:15:24,697 --> 00:15:27,657 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty is absolutely in play in twenty twenty two. 249 00:15:27,897 --> 00:15:29,577 Speaker 1: In fact, so much so, I'd even go out on 250 00:15:29,577 --> 00:15:31,857 Speaker 1: a limb and say this, Buck, I think anything that's 251 00:15:31,857 --> 00:15:34,577 Speaker 1: twenty points are less that Joe Biden won in twenty 252 00:15:34,577 --> 00:15:39,177 Speaker 1: twenty might absolutely be competitive this fall. So what are 253 00:15:39,217 --> 00:15:42,097 Speaker 1: some of the races than some of the states or 254 00:15:42,257 --> 00:15:45,817 Speaker 1: districts that are high profile that you think could be 255 00:15:45,857 --> 00:15:48,537 Speaker 1: in the indigetable maybe a bit of a reach but 256 00:15:48,697 --> 00:15:53,257 Speaker 1: gettable category going into this fall. The easiest place to 257 00:15:53,297 --> 00:15:56,337 Speaker 1: start is with the statewide with the Senate. You look 258 00:15:56,377 --> 00:16:00,577 Speaker 1: at Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire. I think those are 259 00:16:00,617 --> 00:16:04,617 Speaker 1: absolutely real pickup opportunities for Republicans. Where I think it 260 00:16:04,697 --> 00:16:07,577 Speaker 1: gets very interesting is when you start to look at 261 00:16:07,617 --> 00:16:12,217 Speaker 1: states like Connecticut and Washington in Colorado, where people are thinking, no, 262 00:16:12,337 --> 00:16:15,017 Speaker 1: that there's no way those could be competitive in twenty 263 00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:17,497 Speaker 1: twenty two, But those are right at the twenty nineteen 264 00:16:17,577 --> 00:16:20,857 Speaker 1: I think Colorado was fourteen point margin of victory for 265 00:16:20,937 --> 00:16:24,017 Speaker 1: Biden in twenty twenty. I think those three Senate races 266 00:16:24,097 --> 00:16:26,537 Speaker 1: could be highly competitive. I'm not saying we're going to 267 00:16:26,577 --> 00:16:29,097 Speaker 1: win them. I think we might be able to sneak one, 268 00:16:29,177 --> 00:16:33,537 Speaker 1: maybe two of them, though that would be fantastic obviously. 269 00:16:33,657 --> 00:16:36,137 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm certainly hopeful by the way Moe Brooks 270 00:16:36,177 --> 00:16:40,257 Speaker 1: swearing off the day in against what is it britt 271 00:16:40,297 --> 00:16:44,217 Speaker 1: in britt in Alabama? What do you think of? What 272 00:16:44,257 --> 00:16:47,057 Speaker 1: do you think of that race for that Senate seat? 273 00:16:47,097 --> 00:16:50,337 Speaker 1: You know, Brooks got the Trump endorsement, The Trump endorsement 274 00:16:50,377 --> 00:16:53,577 Speaker 1: got went drawn. I mean, I've known Mo Brooks, so 275 00:16:53,577 --> 00:16:55,857 Speaker 1: I knew himhen he was a congressman. He was really 276 00:16:55,857 --> 00:16:58,137 Speaker 1: good on the border, really good on immigration. That's all 277 00:16:58,177 --> 00:17:00,577 Speaker 1: I really remember about his time then, though, So what 278 00:17:00,937 --> 00:17:05,257 Speaker 1: went on here, Well, it really came down to Moe 279 00:17:05,337 --> 00:17:08,977 Speaker 1: Brooks announcing in front of a very large rally that 280 00:17:09,137 --> 00:17:11,937 Speaker 1: he thought we needed to move past the twenty twenty elections, 281 00:17:12,337 --> 00:17:14,537 Speaker 1: which of course is a big issue with Trump. On 282 00:17:14,577 --> 00:17:17,177 Speaker 1: top of that, he was running a rather lackluster campaign 283 00:17:17,217 --> 00:17:20,697 Speaker 1: at the time. I think a combination of factors Trump 284 00:17:20,737 --> 00:17:24,097 Speaker 1: Trump pulled the endorsement. I have to tell you what 285 00:17:24,257 --> 00:17:27,537 Speaker 1: irritated Trump coming down the home stretch in the primary 286 00:17:28,217 --> 00:17:31,657 Speaker 1: was that Mo actually continued to use that endorsement after 287 00:17:31,697 --> 00:17:34,497 Speaker 1: it had been rescinded and sent out a mail or so. 288 00:17:34,537 --> 00:17:36,857 Speaker 1: People I think were a little surprised that Trump endorsed 289 00:17:36,857 --> 00:17:42,177 Speaker 1: britt afterwards in the runoff. I was not actual. How 290 00:17:42,177 --> 00:17:44,417 Speaker 1: do you have any any prediction for us on that one? 291 00:17:44,457 --> 00:17:48,457 Speaker 1: People are voting as we speak. I gotta tell you, 292 00:17:48,497 --> 00:17:51,057 Speaker 1: I would love to see Moe Win being completely honest, 293 00:17:51,097 --> 00:17:54,017 Speaker 1: but I'm giving Brits the nod. I think she's going 294 00:17:54,057 --> 00:17:55,097 Speaker 1: to be able to pull it out because you have 295 00:17:55,097 --> 00:17:59,057 Speaker 1: to understand she's Shelby's former chief of staff, and Shelby 296 00:17:59,097 --> 00:18:02,217 Speaker 1: has a very powerful machine inside of Alabama. Even though 297 00:18:02,217 --> 00:18:04,817 Speaker 1: Trump is very popular and Trump is very popular as well. 298 00:18:04,857 --> 00:18:07,337 Speaker 1: So I think those two combined factors are going to 299 00:18:07,377 --> 00:18:09,617 Speaker 1: make it very hard for Moe to overcome. But hey, 300 00:18:09,697 --> 00:18:11,497 Speaker 1: I would love to see Moe win. I just think 301 00:18:11,497 --> 00:18:15,177 Speaker 1: BRIT's gonna pull it out to night. And uh, you know, 302 00:18:15,217 --> 00:18:18,577 Speaker 1: the the race between herschel Walker, you know, I I 303 00:18:18,617 --> 00:18:23,377 Speaker 1: interviewed herschel earlier today on Radio UM and he showed 304 00:18:23,417 --> 00:18:28,017 Speaker 1: a real grasp of the issues and particular fluency I 305 00:18:28,057 --> 00:18:32,017 Speaker 1: think in connecting to people over the issue of gas prices. 306 00:18:32,537 --> 00:18:35,137 Speaker 1: You know, if if there's one Senate race that you 307 00:18:35,897 --> 00:18:38,417 Speaker 1: are you really you know, what's the biggest one for 308 00:18:38,457 --> 00:18:40,017 Speaker 1: you that you that you think is going to be 309 00:18:40,057 --> 00:18:42,137 Speaker 1: the harbinger of things to come? I mean, is it 310 00:18:42,537 --> 00:18:47,017 Speaker 1: that race between Warnock and herschel Walker or is it 311 00:18:47,137 --> 00:18:49,097 Speaker 1: Laxalt out of Nevada? I mean, which one are you 312 00:18:49,097 --> 00:18:54,457 Speaker 1: gonna be watching most closely? I feel really confident about Georgia, 313 00:18:54,537 --> 00:18:58,017 Speaker 1: Arizona and Nevada. I think the one that's going to 314 00:18:58,057 --> 00:19:01,217 Speaker 1: tell you is going to be a disaster. Is New Hampshire. 315 00:19:02,257 --> 00:19:04,697 Speaker 1: If we take back New Hampshire. I think it's game 316 00:19:04,697 --> 00:19:09,297 Speaker 1: on with those other homes. Verbe at home. Who's in 317 00:19:09,337 --> 00:19:11,977 Speaker 1: that one? And what how's it looking right now? Boy, 318 00:19:12,017 --> 00:19:14,137 Speaker 1: It's one of those things. I have to tell you. 319 00:19:14,177 --> 00:19:17,017 Speaker 1: It's been a little They wanted Sunu, the NSC was 320 00:19:17,257 --> 00:19:20,737 Speaker 1: recruiting Governor Sonounu. We might not get the top quality 321 00:19:20,777 --> 00:19:22,417 Speaker 1: candidate that we want, but I think at this point 322 00:19:22,417 --> 00:19:25,457 Speaker 1: it's twenty twenty two buck and I think any Democrat 323 00:19:25,537 --> 00:19:27,897 Speaker 1: that's on the ballot and a lot of these states, 324 00:19:27,937 --> 00:19:30,057 Speaker 1: you have to look at Biden's approval rating. It's in 325 00:19:30,097 --> 00:19:32,937 Speaker 1: the low thirties. I think he's maybe thirty seven thirty 326 00:19:32,937 --> 00:19:35,977 Speaker 1: eight percent in New Hampshire. And I would remind people 327 00:19:36,417 --> 00:19:39,537 Speaker 1: in the twenty ten shellacking, Obama was at forty four 328 00:19:39,577 --> 00:19:42,457 Speaker 1: point seven percent approval and he got absolutely hosed in 329 00:19:42,497 --> 00:19:45,097 Speaker 1: the House and the Senate races, and Joe Biden is 330 00:19:45,137 --> 00:19:47,537 Speaker 1: well below that mark, not only nationally, but when you 331 00:19:47,537 --> 00:19:50,137 Speaker 1: get to these individual states, he's in the low thirties, 332 00:19:50,137 --> 00:19:51,857 Speaker 1: even in the high twenties, and some of these key 333 00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:55,497 Speaker 1: center races.

Turns 365 00:21:38,457 --> 00:21:41,897 Speaker 1: out the wall of separation between church and state, which 366 00:21:41,937 --> 00:21:44,337 Speaker 1: doesn't actually exist in the First Permendment or the Constitution, 367 00:21:44,897 --> 00:21:47,097 Speaker 1: isn't quite what a lot of Libs thought it was. 368 00:21:47,417 --> 00:21:50,297 Speaker 1: We're joined now by Bethany Mandel. She's editor of Heroes 369 00:21:50,297 --> 00:21:54,137 Speaker 1: of Liberty and contributing writer at Desirete News. Talk to 370 00:21:54,217 --> 00:21:56,817 Speaker 1: us about all this, Bethany, thanks for being here, Hey, 371 00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:00,457 Speaker 1: thanks much for having me. From first, Gill, what was 372 00:22:00,497 --> 00:22:04,217 Speaker 1: at issue in this six three Supreme Court decision that 373 00:22:04,377 --> 00:22:06,737 Speaker 1: came down today? What are the facts of the case 374 00:22:06,737 --> 00:22:09,777 Speaker 1: that folks need to know. Yeah, So, basically, this Preme 375 00:22:09,817 --> 00:22:13,897 Speaker 1: Court decided that parents in Maine can use their tuition 376 00:22:13,977 --> 00:22:17,617 Speaker 1: vouchers for religious schools, not just you know, any old 377 00:22:17,617 --> 00:22:20,057 Speaker 1: private school, but that they have to be able to 378 00:22:20,137 --> 00:22:24,737 Speaker 1: use those tuition vouchers even at religious schools. So it 379 00:22:24,817 --> 00:22:27,977 Speaker 1: was a pretty big decision for school choice advocates today. 380 00:22:29,537 --> 00:22:34,537 Speaker 1: And so what do you think this means nationwide for 381 00:22:34,657 --> 00:22:38,497 Speaker 1: the trend It seems of school choice and specifically religious 382 00:22:38,497 --> 00:22:42,537 Speaker 1: school of choice. Yeah. Absolutely, So for states that this 383 00:22:42,657 --> 00:22:45,697 Speaker 1: choice is granted, it opens up the door to a 384 00:22:45,737 --> 00:22:48,017 Speaker 1: lot more a lot more religious schools to be able 385 00:22:48,097 --> 00:22:50,537 Speaker 1: to take this money. And so, you know, not just 386 00:22:50,657 --> 00:22:53,897 Speaker 1: Catholic schools, but you know, schools of any religious persuasion 387 00:22:53,977 --> 00:22:58,177 Speaker 1: can take this money from voucher programs and and you know, 388 00:22:58,537 --> 00:23:03,297 Speaker 1: expand their programming into parochial programs that were that were 389 00:23:03,337 --> 00:23:08,457 Speaker 1: just sort of channeled before into private education without any 390 00:23:08,497 --> 00:23:12,217 Speaker 1: sort of religious structure. The basics, as I see here, 391 00:23:12,417 --> 00:23:16,337 Speaker 1: that this could increase school voucher programs, tax credits to 392 00:23:16,417 --> 00:23:21,017 Speaker 1: fund scholarships, and tax exempt educational savings accounts. The Supreme 393 00:23:21,097 --> 00:23:25,577 Speaker 1: Court decision reads, under the new program, parents designate the 394 00:23:25,657 --> 00:23:28,457 Speaker 1: secondary school that would like their child to attend, public 395 00:23:28,537 --> 00:23:31,737 Speaker 1: or private, and the school district transmits payments to that 396 00:23:31,897 --> 00:23:36,057 Speaker 1: school to help defray the cost of tuition. Also, the 397 00:23:36,097 --> 00:23:38,817 Speaker 1: documented states that if a state uses taxpayer money to 398 00:23:38,817 --> 00:23:42,097 Speaker 1: pay for students attending non religious private schools, it must 399 00:23:42,177 --> 00:23:47,337 Speaker 1: also use taxpayer funds to pay for attendance at religious schools. So, 400 00:23:47,937 --> 00:23:50,937 Speaker 1: I mean, do we expect that this will perhaps increase 401 00:23:51,217 --> 00:23:56,017 Speaker 1: enrollment at schools that are a Christian, Jewish, or Muslim 402 00:23:56,017 --> 00:24:00,177 Speaker 1: and anything else that may be involved here or what? What 403 00:24:00,057 --> 00:24:03,177 Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah? No, absolutely. I mean for 404 00:24:03,217 --> 00:24:05,257 Speaker 1: a lot of parents who wanted to pull their kids 405 00:24:05,257 --> 00:24:08,297 Speaker 1: out of the public school system, money was a huge consideration, 406 00:24:08,337 --> 00:24:10,497 Speaker 1: and so they were sort of, you know, in Maine 407 00:24:10,577 --> 00:24:13,577 Speaker 1: or in similar states, they were deciding, you know, we'll 408 00:24:13,617 --> 00:24:15,817 Speaker 1: send our kids to a private school that's better than 409 00:24:15,857 --> 00:24:18,217 Speaker 1: the publics. But if the money can't go to a 410 00:24:18,337 --> 00:24:21,057 Speaker 1: religious school, then I guess we'll try to send them 411 00:24:21,137 --> 00:24:24,937 Speaker 1: to a different sort of more morally aligned private But 412 00:24:25,017 --> 00:24:26,897 Speaker 1: now they don't have to make that choice. Now they 413 00:24:26,897 --> 00:24:29,857 Speaker 1: can they can have their money follow their student to 414 00:24:29,937 --> 00:24:32,177 Speaker 1: a religious school or to not a religious school, and 415 00:24:32,177 --> 00:24:34,337 Speaker 1: that really opens the door for a lot of religious 416 00:24:34,337 --> 00:24:37,777 Speaker 1: schools that had been hampered by the fact that, you know, 417 00:24:37,817 --> 00:24:40,977 Speaker 1: their competitors down the road, who didn't have a religious 418 00:24:40,977 --> 00:24:43,817 Speaker 1: affiliation were able to take a lot more cash from 419 00:24:43,857 --> 00:24:45,937 Speaker 1: the state, and now they're able to take it too. 420 00:24:46,857 --> 00:24:50,297 Speaker 1: The Chief Justice John Roberts, who joined the majority in 421 00:24:50,337 --> 00:24:54,617 Speaker 1: this sixth three decision, wrote that Maine's non sectarian requirement 422 00:24:54,697 --> 00:25:00,017 Speaker 1: for otherwise generally available tuition assistance payments violates the free 423 00:25:00,137 --> 00:25:05,257 Speaker 1: exercise clause of the First Amendment. What do you think, Yeah, 424 00:25:05,337 --> 00:25:08,937 Speaker 1: I mean, it absolutely does parents have to you know, 425 00:25:09,817 --> 00:25:12,577 Speaker 1: I don't understand why they. I mean, I do understand 426 00:25:12,617 --> 00:25:16,257 Speaker 1: why they limited the use of these funds for religious schools. 427 00:25:16,257 --> 00:25:20,417 Speaker 1: It's because they wanted to handicap them, and it was 428 00:25:20,617 --> 00:25:23,857 Speaker 1: against the religious freedom, the religious rights of these schools 429 00:25:23,857 --> 00:25:25,497 Speaker 1: to be able to take this money just like any 430 00:25:25,497 --> 00:25:28,377 Speaker 1: other private school. And so yeah, I mean it was 431 00:25:28,417 --> 00:25:33,897 Speaker 1: a long time coming. Also in the minority opinion here, 432 00:25:33,977 --> 00:25:37,937 Speaker 1: Justice Soda Mayor shared her thoughts as follows. This Court 433 00:25:38,017 --> 00:25:42,377 Speaker 1: continues to dismantle the wall of separation between church and 434 00:25:42,457 --> 00:25:46,097 Speaker 1: state that the Framers fought to build. The Court has 435 00:25:46,257 --> 00:25:49,857 Speaker 1: upended constitutional doctrine shifting from a rule that permits states 436 00:25:50,737 --> 00:25:55,097 Speaker 1: to decline to fund religious organization the one that requires states, 437 00:25:55,777 --> 00:26:01,577 Speaker 1: in many circumstances to subsidize religious indoctrination with taxpayer dollars. 438 00:26:02,497 --> 00:26:04,537 Speaker 1: I honestly do wonder as I read this if Justice 439 00:26:04,537 --> 00:26:07,377 Speaker 1: Soda Mayor knows that the wall of separation between church 440 00:26:07,457 --> 00:26:11,497 Speaker 1: and state isn't actually a thing. Yeah, I mean, and 441 00:26:11,537 --> 00:26:13,937 Speaker 1: it's also disturbing that she thinks, just sending your kids 442 00:26:13,937 --> 00:26:17,617 Speaker 1: who a Jewish school or Catholic schools religious indoctrination. No, 443 00:26:17,737 --> 00:26:21,617 Speaker 1: it's just education. There is so much wrong with that 444 00:26:22,337 --> 00:26:24,097 Speaker 1: statement that I don't even know where to begin to 445 00:26:24,177 --> 00:26:28,057 Speaker 1: unpack it. Yeah, I mean, she's she's citing this obviously, 446 00:26:28,257 --> 00:26:30,817 Speaker 1: and you could say it's a very common talking point 447 00:26:31,177 --> 00:26:34,337 Speaker 1: among people that are either atheist or believe very strongly 448 00:26:34,897 --> 00:26:39,617 Speaker 1: in and denigrating any kind of public, public exercise of 449 00:26:39,697 --> 00:26:42,657 Speaker 1: religion or anything in the public cheer. Of course, it 450 00:26:42,697 --> 00:26:44,537 Speaker 1: doesn't appear in the first round. It doesn't appear in 451 00:26:44,577 --> 00:26:47,737 Speaker 1: the Constitution anywhere, and they speak of it with reverences 452 00:26:47,777 --> 00:26:50,937 Speaker 1: as though it does. So. I mean, I think that 453 00:26:50,937 --> 00:26:53,217 Speaker 1: this at least shows that on some key issues of 454 00:26:53,897 --> 00:26:57,137 Speaker 1: First Amendment freedom, this Court seems to be unified with 455 00:26:57,177 --> 00:27:00,017 Speaker 1: a sixth three at least a sixth three decision, which 456 00:27:00,097 --> 00:27:02,857 Speaker 1: is a good thing. I also want to ask what 457 00:27:02,937 --> 00:27:07,297 Speaker 1: you think about the big push going on right now 458 00:27:07,457 --> 00:27:13,097 Speaker 1: from the leg separately from this, to push for children 459 00:27:13,137 --> 00:27:16,657 Speaker 1: to be exposed to drag perform which this has become 460 00:27:16,697 --> 00:27:20,217 Speaker 1: a big cultural flashpoint. A lot of people will openly 461 00:27:20,297 --> 00:27:23,217 Speaker 1: say this is a good thing and that drag like 462 00:27:23,337 --> 00:27:26,817 Speaker 1: why does drag queen story our have to be something 463 00:27:26,857 --> 00:27:30,457 Speaker 1: that people get behind? Why not just have adult males 464 00:27:30,537 --> 00:27:33,497 Speaker 1: or adult females dressed as they normally would reading to children? 465 00:27:33,497 --> 00:27:36,137 Speaker 1: Like what what do they get out of this? I 466 00:27:36,457 --> 00:27:38,497 Speaker 1: don't know, I mean, where is justice? Soota my word? 467 00:27:38,617 --> 00:27:42,257 Speaker 1: Right now, let's let's protect children from this religious indoctrination 468 00:27:42,737 --> 00:27:45,377 Speaker 1: of the drag queens. This is this is part of 469 00:27:45,377 --> 00:27:48,577 Speaker 1: their religion. They think that, you know, drag queens have 470 00:27:48,617 --> 00:27:53,137 Speaker 1: to have this access to children, and therefore why didn't 471 00:27:53,177 --> 00:27:56,697 Speaker 1: their horizons. I'm really not sure. What it comes down 472 00:27:56,737 --> 00:27:59,737 Speaker 1: to is just the total sexualization of childhood, which is 473 00:27:59,777 --> 00:28:04,377 Speaker 1: their ultimate goal. And I really I don't understand the 474 00:28:04,497 --> 00:28:09,777 Speaker 1: fervent desire to expose children to gyrating men dressed as women. 475 00:28:09,857 --> 00:28:13,777 Speaker 1: But there's so so much wrong with it, and your 476 00:28:13,777 --> 00:28:15,937 Speaker 1: parents can do whatever they want to do, but we're 477 00:28:15,977 --> 00:28:19,137 Speaker 1: paying for it with our tax dollars in public schools, 478 00:28:19,737 --> 00:28:22,617 Speaker 1: in public school library and when they do these events 479 00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:26,217 Speaker 1: in New York City and also in the public libraries 480 00:28:26,217 --> 00:28:30,457 Speaker 1: as well. Yes, it just seems to me that this 481 00:28:30,497 --> 00:28:32,737 Speaker 1: would be such an easy issue to be dealt with 482 00:28:32,777 --> 00:28:35,697 Speaker 1: by just everyone agreeing. There's no reason for this to 483 00:28:35,697 --> 00:28:39,377 Speaker 1: be happening in the first place. But it's obviously important 484 00:28:39,417 --> 00:28:42,377 Speaker 1: to a segment of the left that young children are 485 00:28:42,457 --> 00:28:49,297 Speaker 1: exposed to people who are men who are dressed as women. Yeah. Yeah, 486 00:28:49,337 --> 00:28:52,257 Speaker 1: I really don't understand it. I mean it used to be, 487 00:28:52,697 --> 00:28:55,697 Speaker 1: you know, when Pride Month was around, I don't know, 488 00:28:56,337 --> 00:28:59,257 Speaker 1: five years ago, it was just a celebration and it 489 00:28:59,297 --> 00:29:01,937 Speaker 1: was just, you know, everyone has to accept us. And 490 00:29:02,937 --> 00:29:06,457 Speaker 1: now it's become sort of force fit, not just at us, 491 00:29:06,457 --> 00:29:09,457 Speaker 1: but also our children. And if you don't want your 492 00:29:09,777 --> 00:29:13,297 Speaker 1: taugh oddler being read a book about Swish, go the 493 00:29:13,337 --> 00:29:16,617 Speaker 1: Drag Queen's Hips, which is a real book. Suddenly you're 494 00:29:16,617 --> 00:29:21,297 Speaker 1: a bigott. The line keeps on going farther and farther, 495 00:29:21,977 --> 00:29:24,217 Speaker 1: and we should have drawn it a long time ago, 496 00:29:24,337 --> 00:29:27,337 Speaker 1: and now with the drag Queen Story hour, I think 497 00:29:27,417 --> 00:29:30,097 Speaker 1: finally we're starting to realize that they're just all out 498 00:29:30,137 --> 00:29:36,057 Speaker 1: assault on childhood, on innocence, on all of it. Bethanny, 499 00:29:36,137 --> 00:29:41,697 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Thank you.

When we come back, we'll speak to 502 00:29:48,897 --> 00:29:52,217 Speaker 1: Kara Frederick of the Heritage Foundation about just what this 503 00:29:52,257 --> 00:29:54,097 Speaker 1: means and where it's all going to stay with us. 504 00:29:58,337 --> 00:30:01,057 Speaker 1: Each morning, the President of the United States receives a 505 00:30:01,137 --> 00:30:04,657 Speaker 1: highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country. 506 00:30:04,977 --> 00:30:08,537 Speaker 1: It's called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered 507 00:30:08,577 --> 00:30:11,657 Speaker 1: by America's spies and analy Well, now you can hear 508 00:30:11,697 --> 00:30:14,777 Speaker 1: your very own PDB in the form of a podcast 509 00:30:14,817 --> 00:30:18,857 Speaker 1: hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 510 00:30:19,217 --> 00:30:21,937 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 511 00:30:21,977 --> 00:30:24,777 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 512 00:30:24,977 --> 00:30:28,337 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 513 00:30:28,377 --> 00:30:40,417 Speaker 1: start your morning. Elon Musk, a step closer to his 514 00:30:40,897 --> 00:30:45,657 Speaker 1: actual takeover of Twitter. Board has met of that company 515 00:30:45,657 --> 00:30:50,177 Speaker 1: and they have approved Elon's takeover bid. So what does 516 00:30:50,177 --> 00:30:51,577 Speaker 1: this mean? How do we get to this point? Where 517 00:30:51,577 --> 00:30:53,977 Speaker 1: are we going? What does it mean for free speech? 518 00:30:54,617 --> 00:30:56,417 Speaker 1: All that good stuff we got? Kara Frederick with us, 519 00:30:56,457 --> 00:31:00,017 Speaker 1: now director of the Tech Policy Center at the Heritage Foundation, 520 00:31:00,137 --> 00:31:04,937 Speaker 1: former Facebook employee, She knows how these big tech companies work. Kara, 521 00:31:05,057 --> 00:31:07,577 Speaker 1: thanks for being back with us. Of course, thanks for 522 00:31:07,617 --> 00:31:11,577 Speaker 1: having me Buck. So how much of a milestone is 523 00:31:11,617 --> 00:31:15,977 Speaker 1: this that Elon's actually gotten the approval of the board 524 00:31:16,017 --> 00:31:19,937 Speaker 1: over at Twitter. First of all, are you surprised at all? 525 00:31:20,057 --> 00:31:21,657 Speaker 1: Is this what you were expecting? And where do we 526 00:31:21,697 --> 00:31:25,337 Speaker 1: go from here? Look, I will say I'm a little surprised. 527 00:31:25,377 --> 00:31:27,137 Speaker 1: The last time I was on the program, I was like, 528 00:31:27,537 --> 00:31:30,417 Speaker 1: I'll give it fifty fifty at this point, because they've 529 00:31:30,457 --> 00:31:33,857 Speaker 1: thrown up obstacles in his way again and again and again, 530 00:31:34,217 --> 00:31:39,697 Speaker 1: the Joint SECDJ investigation, allegations of sexual misconduct, the board 531 00:31:39,697 --> 00:31:42,537 Speaker 1: taking the poison pill from the beginning, so I was 532 00:31:42,697 --> 00:31:45,737 Speaker 1: not so sanguine about this actually coming to fruition. So 533 00:31:45,777 --> 00:31:48,897 Speaker 1: I think this is a pretty big milestone. But as 534 00:31:48,977 --> 00:31:52,417 Speaker 1: Elon himself has said today, there's three things that are 535 00:31:52,457 --> 00:31:56,977 Speaker 1: still unresolved that need to be fixed. Basically before this 536 00:31:57,057 --> 00:32:00,497 Speaker 1: goes forward. One the bot issue, right, he wants to 537 00:32:00,537 --> 00:32:04,537 Speaker 1: get it under five percent, the funding that all has 538 00:32:04,577 --> 00:32:08,177 Speaker 1: to come together. And number three, the shareholders still have 539 00:32:08,337 --> 00:32:12,137 Speaker 1: to vote to approve this take over. So three things, 540 00:32:12,177 --> 00:32:15,057 Speaker 1: some little, some not so little, but again, this is 541 00:32:15,057 --> 00:32:17,257 Speaker 1: a This is a massive win I think for the 542 00:32:17,337 --> 00:32:20,257 Speaker 1: people on the side of free speech and for Elon himself. 543 00:32:21,417 --> 00:32:23,657 Speaker 1: So what are the steps down? I mean you mentioned 544 00:32:23,657 --> 00:32:28,857 Speaker 1: so there'll be voter approval, a stock shareholder approval. Do 545 00:32:28,897 --> 00:32:31,577 Speaker 1: we have any idea of what a timeline could be before? 546 00:32:31,897 --> 00:32:34,537 Speaker 1: I mean, basically, people want to know when are all 547 00:32:34,617 --> 00:32:37,017 Speaker 1: the Libs who are crying at their desks at the 548 00:32:37,137 --> 00:32:40,297 Speaker 1: mere prospect of free speech and Twitter? When are the 549 00:32:40,337 --> 00:32:42,457 Speaker 1: tears going to start to flow? Because this is a 550 00:32:42,537 --> 00:32:47,537 Speaker 1: done deal and it's all over for the open censorship 551 00:32:47,537 --> 00:32:50,577 Speaker 1: of conservatives on Twitter. You know, I think they should 552 00:32:50,617 --> 00:32:53,457 Speaker 1: get the tissues out at this point. I'm not quite 553 00:32:53,497 --> 00:32:56,897 Speaker 1: sure exactly when in terms of a timeline, but I 554 00:32:57,017 --> 00:32:59,697 Speaker 1: do think the shareholders would be wise to vote in 555 00:32:59,737 --> 00:33:03,537 Speaker 1: favor of this because right now Twitter is trading considerably 556 00:33:03,617 --> 00:33:07,897 Speaker 1: below what Elon's actually offering per share for the company. 557 00:33:08,257 --> 00:33:10,337 Speaker 1: Stocks are up a little bit. I think one percent 558 00:33:10,457 --> 00:33:12,417 Speaker 1: was the last figure I saw before I came on here, 559 00:33:12,497 --> 00:33:15,697 Speaker 1: But you know it is I think the fiduciary duty 560 00:33:16,137 --> 00:33:18,217 Speaker 1: of the board they did it right, they said yes, 561 00:33:18,297 --> 00:33:21,537 Speaker 1: and for their shareholders to actually let Elon take this 562 00:33:21,577 --> 00:33:24,297 Speaker 1: thing over. So I think that the Libs better get 563 00:33:24,337 --> 00:33:28,137 Speaker 1: their tissues out and again our prague Agerwall and all 564 00:33:28,177 --> 00:33:31,337 Speaker 1: of his lackeys better keep cleaning up the platform because 565 00:33:31,377 --> 00:33:36,057 Speaker 1: at this point, I think Elon's coming. If Twitter becomes 566 00:33:36,097 --> 00:33:40,897 Speaker 1: a true free speech guided platform, right, I mean, Elon's 567 00:33:40,897 --> 00:33:43,217 Speaker 1: always said, illegal stuff will still be illegal. You know, 568 00:33:43,257 --> 00:33:47,777 Speaker 1: you can't operate a digital you know, illegal drug market 569 00:33:47,817 --> 00:33:49,497 Speaker 1: or something on the platform. Obviously there are going to 570 00:33:49,537 --> 00:33:52,217 Speaker 1: be some things that they still don't allow and police. 571 00:33:53,137 --> 00:33:57,097 Speaker 1: But if Twitter does actually allow, you know, important political 572 00:33:57,137 --> 00:33:59,297 Speaker 1: debate from both sides of the aisle as part of 573 00:33:59,337 --> 00:34:02,457 Speaker 1: its mission going forward, do you think that will have 574 00:34:02,697 --> 00:34:06,497 Speaker 1: a meaningful impact on the way some of the other platforms, 575 00:34:06,537 --> 00:34:10,977 Speaker 1: notably your former employer Facebook, maybe even TikTok, approach their 576 00:34:11,257 --> 00:34:13,977 Speaker 1: approach censorship, because you know, then they won't all be 577 00:34:14,017 --> 00:34:16,017 Speaker 1: in it together, right, at least they'll be a break 578 00:34:16,057 --> 00:34:20,457 Speaker 1: in and the chains are breaking in the links of 579 00:34:20,497 --> 00:34:23,857 Speaker 1: the chain of collusion here. You know, Buck, you took 580 00:34:23,857 --> 00:34:26,217 Speaker 1: the words out of my mouth. Number one, I have 581 00:34:26,257 --> 00:34:30,177 Speaker 1: no hope for TikTok. So take that CCP own nonsense 582 00:34:30,257 --> 00:34:32,177 Speaker 1: out of here. Do what you gotta do to get 583 00:34:32,217 --> 00:34:34,817 Speaker 1: the kids off TikTok. Throw it away. Table that for 584 00:34:34,817 --> 00:34:38,217 Speaker 1: a second, Facebook, potentially. But what you said is the 585 00:34:38,337 --> 00:34:42,897 Speaker 1: bigger issue. It's breaking that ideological monopoly. What most people 586 00:34:42,977 --> 00:34:46,257 Speaker 1: don't know is that these tech companies, they move in concerts. 587 00:34:46,257 --> 00:34:48,977 Speaker 1: So Google's going to look to Facebook, Facebook's gonna look 588 00:34:48,977 --> 00:34:51,297 Speaker 1: to Twitter. They're all gonna look at each other and see, 589 00:34:51,457 --> 00:34:54,217 Speaker 1: are you making this decision? Okay, we're gonna follow suit. 590 00:34:54,257 --> 00:34:57,577 Speaker 1: We feel comfortable when one tech company makes a content 591 00:34:57,657 --> 00:35:01,017 Speaker 1: moderation decision, so we can make it too. But Twitter, 592 00:35:01,097 --> 00:35:03,457 Speaker 1: if they are going to be the stalwart, if they're 593 00:35:03,537 --> 00:35:06,137 Speaker 1: gonna you know, poke their head above the press, the 594 00:35:06,137 --> 00:35:09,817 Speaker 1: parapet and basically say no we believe in the first 595 00:35:10,057 --> 00:35:12,937 Speaker 1: I meant within the bounds of the law. Elon's words, 596 00:35:13,017 --> 00:35:16,217 Speaker 1: that is going to break that ideological monopoly. So they 597 00:35:16,257 --> 00:35:19,217 Speaker 1: can't all move in concert and then sort of point 598 00:35:19,257 --> 00:35:21,457 Speaker 1: fingers at each other when something like the Hunter Biden 599 00:35:21,537 --> 00:35:24,737 Speaker 1: laptop story is suppressed so that's what I see, and 600 00:35:24,857 --> 00:35:27,777 Speaker 1: you pointed it out very clearly, is that breaking of 601 00:35:27,777 --> 00:35:31,537 Speaker 1: the ideological monopoly Twitter is going to be a wrench 602 00:35:31,577 --> 00:35:35,257 Speaker 1: in the spokes effectively, and will all be excited as conservatives, 603 00:35:35,457 --> 00:35:40,777 Speaker 1: as freedom minded people for that to happen. I think 604 00:35:40,777 --> 00:35:44,737 Speaker 1: it's an internal chat chat companies Slack. I've never used it. 605 00:35:44,777 --> 00:35:46,377 Speaker 1: I've read a lot of stories about this one. I 606 00:35:46,417 --> 00:35:49,657 Speaker 1: know a lot of corporations use This kind of reminds 607 00:35:49,657 --> 00:35:51,737 Speaker 1: you of what Aol instant messenger was back in the 608 00:35:51,817 --> 00:35:55,617 Speaker 1: day for some people, but Slack has banned it. That 609 00:35:55,697 --> 00:35:58,497 Speaker 1: it was in the news this week the immigration restriction 610 00:35:58,697 --> 00:36:03,137 Speaker 1: group Federation for American Immigration Reform from using any of 611 00:36:03,177 --> 00:36:07,497 Speaker 1: its services for allegedly violating the company's terms of service. 612 00:36:08,777 --> 00:36:11,737 Speaker 1: But they said they wrote a letter to Slack quote, 613 00:36:11,737 --> 00:36:14,497 Speaker 1: you should be advised that fairies well aware there are 614 00:36:14,537 --> 00:36:16,857 Speaker 1: government actors who are actively trying to CeNSE their Americans 615 00:36:16,937 --> 00:36:19,777 Speaker 1: right to freedom of speech and their use of tech platforms, 616 00:36:20,057 --> 00:36:23,697 Speaker 1: including particular individuals the Department of Homeland Security. Evidence that 617 00:36:23,737 --> 00:36:26,337 Speaker 1: there was intervention by government officials in this matter would 618 00:36:26,377 --> 00:36:28,537 Speaker 1: be of supreme interest not only to fair but to 619 00:36:28,657 --> 00:36:32,657 Speaker 1: the general public. Preserve all intern communications in this anticipation 620 00:36:32,657 --> 00:36:35,657 Speaker 1: of probable litigation. You know, my friend Alex Barrinson, I know, 621 00:36:35,737 --> 00:36:38,537 Speaker 1: is in a lawsuit, ongoing lawsuit that has made it 622 00:36:38,577 --> 00:36:42,057 Speaker 1: past the initial phases and is going into discovery against Twitter. 623 00:36:42,497 --> 00:36:45,297 Speaker 1: It seems to me that the Federation for American Immigration 624 00:36:45,337 --> 00:36:48,097 Speaker 1: Reform President he are saying to Slack, Well, if you 625 00:36:48,097 --> 00:36:51,057 Speaker 1: guys were colluding with the government, the sitting Biden administration, 626 00:36:51,137 --> 00:36:55,737 Speaker 1: for example, this is going to be a legal issue. Exactly. 627 00:36:55,777 --> 00:36:59,697 Speaker 1: It's time to start treating these companies as quasi state actors. 628 00:36:59,777 --> 00:37:03,417 Speaker 1: We've seen this happen again and again, Jimsaki telling Facebook 629 00:37:03,417 --> 00:37:07,137 Speaker 1: we're working with them to flag problematic posts, her doing 630 00:37:07,137 --> 00:37:09,817 Speaker 1: it again to Spotify during the Joe Rogan issue when 631 00:37:09,817 --> 00:37:13,697 Speaker 1: he platforming doctor Malone. Where you have Joe Biden saying 632 00:37:13,737 --> 00:37:17,257 Speaker 1: private companies need to do more to police COVID misinformation, 633 00:37:17,577 --> 00:37:21,257 Speaker 1: DHS Secretary Majorca saying that we're working with these private 634 00:37:21,257 --> 00:37:25,417 Speaker 1: companies to ensure legitimate use of the platform, and then 635 00:37:25,457 --> 00:37:29,537 Speaker 1: the leaks from the Disinformation Board saying that we're operationalizing this, 636 00:37:29,857 --> 00:37:33,017 Speaker 1: working with the government, working with the executives a Twitter 637 00:37:33,337 --> 00:37:37,377 Speaker 1: to police American speech. This is indicative of a pattern 638 00:37:37,497 --> 00:37:40,977 Speaker 1: that we've seen again and again and again. And you're right, 639 00:37:41,057 --> 00:37:43,657 Speaker 1: is it a legal issue? Doesn't render these quote unquote 640 00:37:43,657 --> 00:37:47,257 Speaker 1: private companies as potential state actors. I think that's a 641 00:37:47,257 --> 00:37:49,737 Speaker 1: pretty good argument that it does. And I will say 642 00:37:49,897 --> 00:37:53,297 Speaker 1: when the climate change experts come out and who work 643 00:37:53,337 --> 00:37:56,457 Speaker 1: for the government and basically say we're working with platforms 644 00:37:56,497 --> 00:37:59,537 Speaker 1: to take down climate or potentially push them to take 645 00:37:59,577 --> 00:38:03,097 Speaker 1: down climate denialism. YouTube already institute is something like that 646 00:38:03,177 --> 00:38:07,057 Speaker 1: last October, then you have a big problem on your hands. 647 00:38:07,097 --> 00:38:10,417 Speaker 1: This is government and tech company collusion and big tech 648 00:38:10,457 --> 00:38:13,937 Speaker 1: are the new enforcers of what his right speak according 649 00:38:13,977 --> 00:38:17,177 Speaker 1: to the government. Huge problem. Take him to court. Put 650 00:38:17,177 --> 00:38:19,217 Speaker 1: the hammet on on these tech companies for this, because 651 00:38:19,217 --> 00:38:22,857 Speaker 1: they cannot be the mouthpiece of the Biden administration to 652 00:38:23,017 --> 00:38:28,817 Speaker 1: the detriment of the American citizen period. Gara Frederick always illuminating. 653 00:38:28,857 --> 00:38:35,297 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, Thanks Bud Biden fell off 654 00:38:35,337 --> 00:38:38,817 Speaker 1: his bike. Trump has some thought that's coming up next 655 00:38:38,977 --> 00:38:49,297 Speaker 1: quick it. Oh, it's time for those stories we throw 656 00:38:49,377 --> 00:38:50,977 Speaker 1: together for you at the end to make sure you 657 00:38:50,977 --> 00:38:53,737 Speaker 1: don't miss them. Some are wacky, some are crazy, some 658 00:38:53,857 --> 00:38:57,417 Speaker 1: are fun, some are oh my gosh, and more quick hits. 659 00:38:57,537 --> 00:39:00,177 Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. We have, as you know, 660 00:39:00,897 --> 00:39:04,577 Speaker 1: bicycle gate, not really just kidding. Joe Biden slipped on 661 00:39:04,617 --> 00:39:06,657 Speaker 1: his bike a little bit. He's fine, didn't hurt himself, 662 00:39:06,697 --> 00:39:08,377 Speaker 1: but it just looked a little goofy for a second. 663 00:39:08,897 --> 00:39:11,737 Speaker 1: And it's funny to watch how you point this out 664 00:39:11,777 --> 00:39:16,577 Speaker 1: and some members of the regimes protectors and the media 665 00:39:16,657 --> 00:39:19,577 Speaker 1: is say, oh, it's you know, it's fine. Everybody falls, 666 00:39:19,617 --> 00:39:23,097 Speaker 1: everybody slips. What's the big deal. Well, you know, it's 667 00:39:23,137 --> 00:39:24,857 Speaker 1: not a big deal until they make it a big deal. 668 00:39:24,897 --> 00:39:26,457 Speaker 1: And at some point you say to yourself, what the 669 00:39:26,457 --> 00:39:31,457 Speaker 1: heck is going on here? But Trump, always able with 670 00:39:31,617 --> 00:39:35,297 Speaker 1: the one liner, is always ready to step into the fray. 671 00:39:35,417 --> 00:39:39,857 Speaker 1: Had this to say about the habit that several previous 672 00:39:39,897 --> 00:39:43,417 Speaker 1: presidents have had about riding bicycles while they're in office. 673 00:39:43,457 --> 00:39:47,777 Speaker 1: Plot one of the greatest travesties of all is to 674 00:39:47,817 --> 00:39:50,977 Speaker 1: see a person in the White House who, even after 675 00:39:51,137 --> 00:39:55,817 Speaker 1: years of political experience, has absolutely no clue how to 676 00:39:55,897 --> 00:39:58,337 Speaker 1: be the president of the United States. And I hope 677 00:39:58,337 --> 00:40:01,617 Speaker 1: he has recovered because, as you know, he fell off 678 00:40:01,617 --> 00:40:06,337 Speaker 1: his bicycle. To them, No, I'm serious, I hope he's Okay, 679 00:40:08,097 --> 00:40:15,137 Speaker 1: fell off a bicycle. I make this pledge to you today. 680 00:40:15,217 --> 00:40:21,057 Speaker 1: I will never ever ride a bicycle. Never ride a bicycle. 681 00:40:21,097 --> 00:40:23,017 Speaker 1: I'm not a big bicycle got to be out. I 682 00:40:23,057 --> 00:40:25,297 Speaker 1: do ride any scooter in to do this show, which 683 00:40:26,177 --> 00:40:27,857 Speaker 1: is a very fun way to get around. You don't 684 00:40:27,857 --> 00:40:31,057 Speaker 1: necessarily look like a badass that's putting it mildly, but 685 00:40:31,177 --> 00:40:32,777 Speaker 1: you do get there quickly and it it's fun and 686 00:40:32,857 --> 00:40:36,057 Speaker 1: just sort of scoot scooting around. Bicycle's not for me, 687 00:40:36,257 --> 00:40:39,377 Speaker 1: not for the former president either, and maybe president again. 688 00:40:40,097 --> 00:40:42,497 Speaker 1: So I believe that we are all fighting a war 689 00:40:42,617 --> 00:40:46,137 Speaker 1: against noise, and there are people who are on the 690 00:40:46,177 --> 00:40:48,097 Speaker 1: side of the inconsiderate and the people who are in 691 00:40:48,097 --> 00:40:51,297 Speaker 1: the side of the considerate. This is a battle between 692 00:40:51,657 --> 00:40:57,697 Speaker 1: evil and good, between those who have some desire to 693 00:40:57,817 --> 00:41:00,097 Speaker 1: protect civilization and those who don't care if it comes 694 00:41:00,097 --> 00:41:02,817 Speaker 1: a part of the themes. And excessive noise is all 695 00:41:02,857 --> 00:41:05,297 Speaker 1: over the place these days, people on their speaker phones 696 00:41:05,337 --> 00:41:09,297 Speaker 1: and restaurants playing their bluetooth speakers. At the beach, I 697 00:41:09,297 --> 00:41:12,697 Speaker 1: don't want to hear whatever the make believe DJ of 698 00:41:12,737 --> 00:41:15,137 Speaker 1: the Moment thinks we all need to hear at the beach. 699 00:41:15,177 --> 00:41:17,177 Speaker 1: I just want to hear the waves and the birds 700 00:41:17,217 --> 00:41:19,737 Speaker 1: and quiet. I don't want to hear their crappy music. Right. 701 00:41:19,817 --> 00:41:22,417 Speaker 1: Everyone understands that this is the civilized response, and those 702 00:41:22,457 --> 00:41:25,337 Speaker 1: who don't aren't very civilized. And you know, if someone's 703 00:41:25,377 --> 00:41:28,297 Speaker 1: having a wedding and they ask you, hey, can you 704 00:41:28,337 --> 00:41:31,737 Speaker 1: maybe just stop with the lawnmower. It's their wedding day, 705 00:41:31,857 --> 00:41:33,777 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you just wait before you have to 706 00:41:33,777 --> 00:41:35,777 Speaker 1: take care of the lawn right away. The lawn is 707 00:41:35,817 --> 00:41:37,777 Speaker 1: not gonna the lawn is not gonna catch on fire 708 00:41:37,817 --> 00:41:39,617 Speaker 1: if you don't cut it right. In that moment, New 709 00:41:39,697 --> 00:41:43,297 Speaker 1: York posted a story about how this a woman continued 710 00:41:43,377 --> 00:41:48,457 Speaker 1: with our lawnmower even during a wedding next door. The 711 00:41:48,457 --> 00:41:51,057 Speaker 1: neighbors are having a wedding in their yard. They couldn't 712 00:41:51,057 --> 00:41:54,257 Speaker 1: even hear the vows because the lawnmower was so loud, 713 00:41:55,017 --> 00:41:59,297 Speaker 1: and couldn't We couldn't get this. They couldn't get this 714 00:41:59,337 --> 00:42:03,097 Speaker 1: neighbor to stop with the lawnmower. So it's got to 715 00:42:03,177 --> 00:42:08,057 Speaker 1: tell you, you know, be considerate. Excess noise unacceptable, and 716 00:42:08,217 --> 00:42:10,857 Speaker 1: excess noise when it's not next Sarah, if you can 717 00:42:10,897 --> 00:42:13,577 Speaker 1: time it out, you know, no reason, no reason for that. 718 00:42:14,897 --> 00:42:18,697 Speaker 1: Here's a poster photograph in New Jersey school that says, 719 00:42:18,737 --> 00:42:22,017 Speaker 1: if your parents aren't accepting of your identity, I'm your 720 00:42:22,057 --> 00:42:25,977 Speaker 1: mom now. Poster includes a bear and bearcubs colored like 721 00:42:26,497 --> 00:42:32,097 Speaker 1: the the Pride flags. I believe that's that's what this 722 00:42:32,177 --> 00:42:35,177 Speaker 1: is all about. Um, there needs to stop being this 723 00:42:35,257 --> 00:42:38,377 Speaker 1: movement among leftists and and some people in the schools 724 00:42:38,777 --> 00:42:43,217 Speaker 1: to try to have kids become trans without their parents knowing, 725 00:42:43,497 --> 00:42:45,937 Speaker 1: because we all know that this is really weird and 726 00:42:45,977 --> 00:42:49,177 Speaker 1: they need to stop, and that there's a social contagion 727 00:42:49,257 --> 00:42:53,337 Speaker 1: going on here. But very they get very tense when 728 00:42:53,337 --> 00:42:55,497 Speaker 1: you bring that stuff up. And then the White House 729 00:42:55,497 --> 00:42:59,057 Speaker 1: Press secretary response to a question about the recession, and 730 00:42:59,097 --> 00:43:01,337 Speaker 1: here's what she said. You got to see it. The 731 00:43:01,457 --> 00:43:05,737 Speaker 1: President said, there's no inevitability around the recession, but there 732 00:43:05,857 --> 00:43:09,937 Speaker 1: is a greater deal of market concern about exactly that. 733 00:43:10,617 --> 00:43:12,977 Speaker 1: And I know the inflation that you're number one concern, 734 00:43:13,057 --> 00:43:15,057 Speaker 1: But can you talk a little bit about if you're 735 00:43:15,057 --> 00:43:18,977 Speaker 1: doing anything at all to prevent a recession or arising unemployment. 736 00:43:19,417 --> 00:43:21,417 Speaker 1: So the way that we see this, and you've heard 737 00:43:21,497 --> 00:43:24,097 Speaker 1: us talk about this, that we're in a moment of transition. 738 00:43:24,817 --> 00:43:28,737 Speaker 1: We have seen. We are in a unique situation with 739 00:43:28,937 --> 00:43:33,897 Speaker 1: our with the historical gains, with our economy the way 740 00:43:33,937 --> 00:43:36,777 Speaker 1: that we see it as unemployment rate has held steady 741 00:43:36,817 --> 00:43:40,217 Speaker 1: at three point six, which is also near historic lows. 742 00:43:40,657 --> 00:43:45,017 Speaker 1: Business and investment remains strong, Household balance sheets remains strong. 743 00:43:45,617 --> 00:43:48,137 Speaker 1: There was an analysis that came out recently that showed 744 00:43:48,177 --> 00:43:51,937 Speaker 1: middle class Americans had an additional ten thousand dollars in 745 00:43:52,057 --> 00:44:03,177 Speaker 1: savings then before the pandemic. All right, not not good 746 00:44:03,257 --> 00:44:05,777 Speaker 1: talking points from the White House. Not a good narrative 747 00:44:06,657 --> 00:44:08,857 Speaker 1: as ever. Tonight's hold the line the no spinos of 748 00:44:08,857 --> 00:44:28,297 Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly is next Bill Tie. Each morning, the President 749 00:44:28,337 --> 00:44:31,217 Speaker 1: of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on 750 00:44:31,257 --> 00:44:34,057 Speaker 1: the most important issues facing the country.
