<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

0:00:14.937 --> 0:00:17.977
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

0:00:17.977 --> 0:00:27.897
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome the Hold On. I'm

0:00:27.897 --> 0:00:33.497
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton. Is the left fighting a losing battle on

0:00:33.657 --> 0:00:37.097
<v Speaker 1>many fronts of the culture war Right now, it certainly

0:00:37.177 --> 0:00:40.577
<v Speaker 1>seems like it's moving in that direction, which would be

0:00:40.617 --> 0:00:43.857
<v Speaker 1>the first time in a long time that the Democrat Party,

0:00:44.057 --> 0:00:49.097
<v Speaker 1>the progressives of those who seek to do damage to

0:00:49.217 --> 0:00:54.697
<v Speaker 1>our lasting traditional cultural institutions may find themselves with the

0:00:54.737 --> 0:00:59.177
<v Speaker 1>American people saying enough is enough. But first, the Supreme

0:00:59.217 --> 0:01:02.817
<v Speaker 1>Court decision that we're all waiting for that is expected

0:01:02.937 --> 0:01:07.097
<v Speaker 1>based upon a leak of an earlier draft to overturn

0:01:07.697 --> 0:01:11.217
<v Speaker 1>Row the Wade has not been released as of yet.

0:01:11.577 --> 0:01:14.417
<v Speaker 1>It could come any day now. It is likely to

0:01:14.457 --> 0:01:18.017
<v Speaker 1>come in the next week or so. And that means

0:01:18.057 --> 0:01:19.697
<v Speaker 1>that there are going to be some people who view

0:01:19.737 --> 0:01:24.417
<v Speaker 1>this as a massive, a massive move in the right

0:01:24.457 --> 0:01:27.457
<v Speaker 1>direction when it comes to the rights of unborn babies.

0:01:27.897 --> 0:01:31.337
<v Speaker 1>There will be others, however, the activists of the pro

0:01:31.457 --> 0:01:34.857
<v Speaker 1>abortion movement who are enrage And one thing you notice

0:01:34.857 --> 0:01:36.457
<v Speaker 1>about so many of the people that are the most

0:01:36.537 --> 0:01:42.297
<v Speaker 1>vocal in favor of abortion. They often seem unhinged and

0:01:42.417 --> 0:01:46.537
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit nasty. Here's a pro choice activist, for examples,

0:01:46.857 --> 0:02:33.897
<v Speaker 1>shouting some abscenity, obscenities at students for like what such

0:02:33.977 --> 0:02:38.337
<v Speaker 1>anger and also sadness at the same time from a

0:02:38.377 --> 0:02:41.537
<v Speaker 1>young woman who clearly is bit lost. But there are

0:02:41.537 --> 0:02:45.297
<v Speaker 1>so many of these abortion activists, these people for whom

0:02:45.337 --> 0:02:50.737
<v Speaker 1>abortion is really they find the fundamental freedom of women

0:02:51.617 --> 0:02:56.697
<v Speaker 1>that seem deeply unhappy, unsettled, perhaps even a bit unhinged,

0:02:57.257 --> 0:02:59.617
<v Speaker 1>And that's gonna get a whole lot worse if the

0:02:59.657 --> 0:03:03.417
<v Speaker 1>decision does come down as a five four overturning of

0:03:04.097 --> 0:03:08.817
<v Speaker 1>Row the Wade. Democrats don't have any particular messaging on

0:03:08.897 --> 0:03:13.017
<v Speaker 1>this that holds together makes sense. Vice President Harris, for example,

0:03:13.057 --> 0:03:18.297
<v Speaker 1>has said recently that there's nothing about abortion that will

0:03:18.297 --> 0:03:23.537
<v Speaker 1>require anyone to abandon their faith. Well, if you're a Catholic,

0:03:23.577 --> 0:03:27.097
<v Speaker 1>for example, a believing Catholic who follows the tenets of

0:03:27.137 --> 0:03:30.537
<v Speaker 1>the church, that's not true. Despite the fact that there

0:03:30.537 --> 0:03:36.497
<v Speaker 1>are Democrat activists and Democrat politicians who say otherwise. There

0:03:36.617 --> 0:03:39.577
<v Speaker 1>is in fact a connection or many people of faith

0:03:39.657 --> 0:03:43.377
<v Speaker 1>to the need to protect unborn babies in the womb,

0:03:43.977 --> 0:03:48.217
<v Speaker 1>and this seems like a major a major blow to

0:03:48.337 --> 0:03:50.937
<v Speaker 1>the Left is coming at least in the days ahead

0:03:50.937 --> 0:03:53.777
<v Speaker 1>here from the reversal of Roe v. Wade, And after

0:03:53.977 --> 0:03:58.297
<v Speaker 1>decades of being able to lean on this stake constitutional right,

0:03:59.017 --> 0:04:01.337
<v Speaker 1>now they'll have to actually take this to the States,

0:04:01.337 --> 0:04:04.817
<v Speaker 1>which means making an argument instead of just shouting about

0:04:04.857 --> 0:04:07.377
<v Speaker 1>how it's a right, it's a right. So they may

0:04:07.457 --> 0:04:09.657
<v Speaker 1>lose because of the courts on that one. On the

0:04:09.697 --> 0:04:16.057
<v Speaker 1>issue of the transagenda and transgender athletes specifically, much more

0:04:16.097 --> 0:04:18.217
<v Speaker 1>likely that the Left is going to be losing ground

0:04:18.657 --> 0:04:21.497
<v Speaker 1>as we see it play out going into the midterm elections.

0:04:22.537 --> 0:04:27.177
<v Speaker 1>Megan Rappino is a female soccer player from the US

0:04:27.337 --> 0:04:30.497
<v Speaker 1>national team who is for the end of her career.

0:04:30.657 --> 0:04:35.737
<v Speaker 1>She's almost forty, and she has given some very dismissive

0:04:36.457 --> 0:04:41.017
<v Speaker 1>and snide comments recently about anybody who plays women's sports

0:04:41.057 --> 0:04:45.257
<v Speaker 1>being upset at the fact that there are men, biological males,

0:04:45.857 --> 0:04:54.137
<v Speaker 1>individuals with male genitalia, x Y chromosomes, etc. That anyone

0:04:54.137 --> 0:04:57.577
<v Speaker 1>who's upset about that play about them playing in female

0:04:57.617 --> 0:05:02.657
<v Speaker 1>sports is being childish, being selfish. I mean, here's one

0:05:02.817 --> 0:05:05.337
<v Speaker 1>example of a quote from her show Me the evidence

0:05:06.217 --> 0:05:10.377
<v Speaker 1>that trans women are taking everyone's scholarships, dominating in every sport,

0:05:10.417 --> 0:05:14.377
<v Speaker 1>winning every title. I'm sorry, it's just not happening. So

0:05:14.417 --> 0:05:18.057
<v Speaker 1>we need to start from inclusion, period and as things arise,

0:05:18.217 --> 0:05:19.897
<v Speaker 1>I have confidence that we can figure it out, but

0:05:19.937 --> 0:05:22.777
<v Speaker 1>we can't start from the opposite. It's cool and frankly disgusting,

0:05:23.417 --> 0:05:25.017
<v Speaker 1>she said. So we need to really take a step

0:05:25.017 --> 0:05:27.097
<v Speaker 1>back and get a grip on what we're talking about here,

0:05:27.497 --> 0:05:30.457
<v Speaker 1>because people's lives are at risk. Kid's lives are at

0:05:30.537 --> 0:05:33.217
<v Speaker 1>risk when the rates of suicide, rates of depression, negative

0:05:33.257 --> 0:05:35.857
<v Speaker 1>mental health, and a drug abuse. We're putting everything through

0:05:35.897 --> 0:05:39.817
<v Speaker 1>God forbid a transperson be successful in sports. Get a grip,

0:05:39.897 --> 0:05:42.577
<v Speaker 1>take a step back. And she also said something along

0:05:42.617 --> 0:05:45.817
<v Speaker 1>lines of your daughter's high school volleyball team, isn't that important?

0:05:45.857 --> 0:05:50.177
<v Speaker 1>Get over yourself. She's a fraud and an imbecile. Fraud

0:05:50.217 --> 0:05:53.617
<v Speaker 1>insofar as if men were allowed to play in women's sports,

0:05:53.657 --> 0:05:56.217
<v Speaker 1>nobody would ever heard of her because she would be

0:05:56.257 --> 0:06:00.817
<v Speaker 1>dominated not just by any male professional soccer player, by

0:06:01.817 --> 0:06:04.297
<v Speaker 1>trained fifteen and sixteen year old men. As we know,

0:06:04.337 --> 0:06:06.337
<v Speaker 1>they actually were able to defeat the women's national team

0:06:06.337 --> 0:06:08.377
<v Speaker 1>and a friendly not long ago. I think they are

0:06:08.377 --> 0:06:11.537
<v Speaker 1>actually fourteen and fifteen year old. So fourteen and fifteen

0:06:11.577 --> 0:06:13.577
<v Speaker 1>year old men can beat the best women's soccer team

0:06:13.617 --> 0:06:17.337
<v Speaker 1>in the world. Yeah, so start with that, which I

0:06:17.337 --> 0:06:19.697
<v Speaker 1>think is just interesting because after she was able to

0:06:19.777 --> 0:06:23.737
<v Speaker 1>use sex segregated sports to her advantage for decades, now

0:06:23.737 --> 0:06:26.097
<v Speaker 1>she wants to laugh for the destruction of that. But

0:06:26.097 --> 0:06:28.577
<v Speaker 1>but notice also the way that this is framed as

0:06:28.737 --> 0:06:31.977
<v Speaker 1>you either don't want people to live or you allow,

0:06:32.617 --> 0:06:34.657
<v Speaker 1>you know, a two hundred and fifty pound man to

0:06:34.737 --> 0:06:40.377
<v Speaker 1>play on a women's field hockey team. That's just completely unfair.

0:06:41.097 --> 0:06:44.417
<v Speaker 1>Everyone knows it. Everyone at a very basic common sense

0:06:44.497 --> 0:06:48.257
<v Speaker 1>level understands how absurd this is. But wokeness demands you

0:06:48.337 --> 0:06:53.057
<v Speaker 1>embrace absurdity. Wokeness the left, the Democrat party demand of

0:06:53.137 --> 0:06:56.457
<v Speaker 1>you that you reject what you can see with your

0:06:56.457 --> 0:07:00.977
<v Speaker 1>own eyes, reject what you can observe yourself. And that's why.

0:07:01.017 --> 0:07:02.977
<v Speaker 1>And also, of course there's a lot of virtue signaling here.

0:07:03.017 --> 0:07:06.537
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I care so much about trans inclusivity and sports,

0:07:06.737 --> 0:07:10.217
<v Speaker 1>so I'm a good person. What about the women men

0:07:10.257 --> 0:07:12.537
<v Speaker 1>who are trying really hard to be the best in

0:07:12.577 --> 0:07:18.137
<v Speaker 1>their sport, just essentially abolishing that for them is somehow

0:07:18.777 --> 0:07:25.457
<v Speaker 1>the dismissiveness, the snide tone Rapino is gross. And then

0:07:25.497 --> 0:07:29.657
<v Speaker 1>there's Olympic swimmer Sharon Davies, who's who revealed recently she

0:07:29.737 --> 0:07:34.497
<v Speaker 1>has received death threat because she spoke out against trans

0:07:34.537 --> 0:07:37.577
<v Speaker 1>women also known as men who think they are women

0:07:38.057 --> 0:07:41.577
<v Speaker 1>in women's sport. Why so it really is, you know,

0:07:41.617 --> 0:07:44.297
<v Speaker 1>everybody is scared because the moment you try to speak out,

0:07:44.377 --> 0:07:46.457
<v Speaker 1>just ask for furnish, you get called names, you get

0:07:46.457 --> 0:07:49.697
<v Speaker 1>death threats, you get the cras wringing up your employers

0:07:49.897 --> 0:07:52.257
<v Speaker 1>trying to get your sack, trying to get your unemployed.

0:07:52.777 --> 0:07:55.577
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's not being respectful debate on both sides

0:07:55.617 --> 0:07:58.817
<v Speaker 1>of this, you know, I it has to be out

0:07:58.857 --> 0:08:00.817
<v Speaker 1>in the open. You know, it's trying to light on

0:08:00.897 --> 0:08:03.377
<v Speaker 1>everything to find solutions for everybody. And that's what this

0:08:03.417 --> 0:08:05.377
<v Speaker 1>has always been about. From my side. It's never been

0:08:05.417 --> 0:08:10.977
<v Speaker 1>about excluding trans people. It's been about promote too fast forward,

0:08:12.937 --> 0:08:17.857
<v Speaker 1>promoting fair sport. Yeah, that is certainly what it's about,

0:08:17.857 --> 0:08:21.817
<v Speaker 1>among other things. And then there's this video the American people,

0:08:21.817 --> 0:08:25.057
<v Speaker 1>I think recognizing that even in the US Navy, the

0:08:25.177 --> 0:08:29.857
<v Speaker 1>pronoun mania and the trans inclusivity doctrine our mandatory. This

0:08:29.897 --> 0:08:33.737
<v Speaker 1>is a US Navy training video. Watch them. Hi, my

0:08:33.817 --> 0:08:36.057
<v Speaker 1>name is Johnny, and I use he him pronouns. Hi.

0:08:36.137 --> 0:08:38.657
<v Speaker 1>And I'm County and I use Chi her pronouns. And

0:08:38.697 --> 0:08:42.017
<v Speaker 1>we're here to talk about pronouns. What is a pronoun?

0:08:42.177 --> 0:08:46.137
<v Speaker 1>A pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name,

0:08:46.377 --> 0:08:49.137
<v Speaker 1>and it's also how people are referred to us in conversations.

0:08:49.417 --> 0:08:51.977
<v Speaker 1>Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to

0:08:52.017 --> 0:08:56.537
<v Speaker 1>affirm someone's identity. It is a signal of acceptance and respect.

0:08:56.977 --> 0:08:59.497
<v Speaker 1>If it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do

0:08:59.577 --> 0:09:03.377
<v Speaker 1>we go about creating a safe space for everybody? That's

0:09:03.377 --> 0:09:05.417
<v Speaker 1>a good question. A really good way to do that

0:09:05.497 --> 0:09:08.617
<v Speaker 1>is to use inclusive language. Instead of saying something like

0:09:08.817 --> 0:09:14.137
<v Speaker 1>hey guys, you can say hey everyone or hey team yeah.

0:09:14.137 --> 0:09:16.457
<v Speaker 1>And now that you say that, Another way that we

0:09:16.497 --> 0:09:19.977
<v Speaker 1>could show that we're allies and that we accept everybody

0:09:20.017 --> 0:09:22.937
<v Speaker 1>is to maybe include our pronouns in our emails or

0:09:23.137 --> 0:09:28.977
<v Speaker 1>like we just did, introduce ourselves using our pronouns. This

0:09:29.457 --> 0:09:33.657
<v Speaker 1>stuff continues on this wokeness infiltrating all across the military.

0:09:33.657 --> 0:09:35.937
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna end up losing a major ward. At one point, year,

0:09:35.937 --> 0:09:37.417
<v Speaker 1>and everyone's gonna say, why why do we not have

0:09:37.457 --> 0:09:39.417
<v Speaker 1>the a spree accord to fight a battle to the

0:09:39.537 --> 0:09:43.257
<v Speaker 1>very end, because we're worried about pronouns that our friend

0:09:43.417 --> 0:09:45.737
<v Speaker 1>ned Ryan of American majority coming up in Just as

0:09:45.737 --> 0:09:47.737
<v Speaker 1>I can to tell us about the political landscape, as

0:09:47.777 --> 0:09:49.457
<v Speaker 1>there are some elections today and of course the big

0:09:49.457 --> 0:09:53.857
<v Speaker 1>election coming up this fall, stick around, Let's talk about

0:09:53.857 --> 0:09:55.537
<v Speaker 1>protecting your home for a minute. You know that I'm

0:09:55.537 --> 0:09:57.697
<v Speaker 1>skeptical by nature, So when I first heard about home

0:09:57.737 --> 0:09:59.977
<v Speaker 1>tittle theft and the idea that thieves can literally steal

0:10:00.017 --> 0:10:02.737
<v Speaker 1>your home, I was like, really, and some cyber criminal

0:10:02.777 --> 0:10:04.777
<v Speaker 1>really forge my name off the tittle of my home

0:10:04.777 --> 0:10:06.977
<v Speaker 1>and take over as the new owner. Turns out, yeah

0:10:06.977 --> 0:10:09.297
<v Speaker 1>he can. It's not as rare as you'd think. According

0:10:09.297 --> 0:10:12.017
<v Speaker 1>to the FBI, crime is growing faster than credit card fraud,

0:10:12.017 --> 0:10:14.777
<v Speaker 1>and you're not covered by homeowners insurance or comment at

0:10:14.777 --> 0:10:18.417
<v Speaker 1>any theft programs. Home tetlelock earned my trust. Home tetlelock

0:10:18.497 --> 0:10:21.657
<v Speaker 1>puts a virtual barrier around your home's title. The instant

0:10:21.657 --> 0:10:24.177
<v Speaker 1>they detect anyone tampering with their home's title, they mobilize

0:10:24.217 --> 0:10:26.057
<v Speaker 1>to help shut it down. Here's what I urge you

0:12:03.057 --> 0:12:08.977
<v Speaker 1>There were some primary and special elections underway today in Alabama, Georgia,

0:12:09.057 --> 0:12:13.737
<v Speaker 1>and Virginia. And there was a big election that just

0:12:13.817 --> 0:12:17.337
<v Speaker 1>happened last week that has some indicators of what we

0:12:17.377 --> 0:12:19.377
<v Speaker 1>could be expecting this fall when it comes to Hispanic

0:12:19.417 --> 0:12:23.217
<v Speaker 1>vote in the GOP. Whenever we're talking politics, we want

0:12:23.257 --> 0:12:25.737
<v Speaker 1>a man who has his finger on the pulse, who

0:12:25.817 --> 0:12:29.217
<v Speaker 1>is a prognosticator par excellence, who understands where all this

0:12:29.257 --> 0:12:32.177
<v Speaker 1>stuff is going. We've got to talk to our friend, Ned, Ryan,

0:12:32.377 --> 0:12:36.617
<v Speaker 1>CEO of American Majority. He joins us. Now, my main name,

0:12:37.297 --> 0:12:39.537
<v Speaker 1>my main man, Ned, How are you buddy? Good to

0:12:39.577 --> 0:12:42.137
<v Speaker 1>see you, hey, I'm doing well. Book. Good to be

0:12:42.137 --> 0:12:46.457
<v Speaker 1>back with you. So the victory of Myra Flores in

0:12:46.537 --> 0:12:51.257
<v Speaker 1>Texas's District thirty four last week to you, one district

0:12:51.537 --> 0:12:55.497
<v Speaker 1>tucked down along the US Mexico border, Rio Grande Valley.

0:12:56.057 --> 0:13:00.737
<v Speaker 1>What do you take from that? Within, Well, I'm pretty

0:13:00.777 --> 0:13:05.057
<v Speaker 1>optimistic buck already. I don't want to get overly optimistic

0:13:05.097 --> 0:13:08.457
<v Speaker 1>though looking at these results, but I do think things

0:13:08.497 --> 0:13:10.657
<v Speaker 1>are moving in our favor and a lot of different ways.

0:13:10.697 --> 0:13:12.377
<v Speaker 1>I mean, go back and look at December. There was

0:13:12.417 --> 0:13:16.177
<v Speaker 1>a bolt done of the Hispanic community in which they

0:13:16.177 --> 0:13:17.817
<v Speaker 1>were asked who do you plan on voting for in

0:13:17.857 --> 0:13:20.217
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty two mid terms, and it was thirty

0:13:20.217 --> 0:13:23.257
<v Speaker 1>seven percent Republican thirty seven percent Democrats. So they've been

0:13:23.297 --> 0:13:26.897
<v Speaker 1>signed along the way that you get to April, Joe

0:13:26.937 --> 0:13:30.057
<v Speaker 1>Biden's approval rating with the Hispanic community was only at

0:13:30.097 --> 0:13:34.377
<v Speaker 1>twenty six percent. And the thing that the Hispanic community

0:13:34.417 --> 0:13:37.297
<v Speaker 1>has made very clear is their number one issue is inflation. Right.

0:13:37.337 --> 0:13:39.017
<v Speaker 1>What a shocker. Right, for the rest of the country,

0:13:39.057 --> 0:13:42.217
<v Speaker 1>it's inflation. For the Hispanic community, it's inflation. So they're

0:13:42.217 --> 0:13:45.657
<v Speaker 1>looking at this and blaming Joe Biden and the Democratic

0:13:45.697 --> 0:13:48.697
<v Speaker 1>Party for what's taking place rightly. So, so I think

0:13:48.697 --> 0:13:50.537
<v Speaker 1>there's a whole lot of different trends that are pointing

0:13:50.537 --> 0:13:52.617
<v Speaker 1>in our direction that are going to be very beneficial

0:13:52.657 --> 0:13:56.297
<v Speaker 1>to the Republicans with the Hispanic community come this fall.

0:13:56.977 --> 0:13:59.777
<v Speaker 1>I think the Flora's victory is an indication of that.

0:14:00.297 --> 0:14:03.457
<v Speaker 1>I actually, Buck, I gotta tell you, when you're looking

0:14:03.497 --> 0:14:07.537
<v Speaker 1>at some of these approval ratings Joe Biden various demographics.

0:14:07.937 --> 0:14:10.057
<v Speaker 1>Not only is he taking with the Hispanics, he's taken

0:14:10.377 --> 0:14:13.217
<v Speaker 1>with the Asian American community. I think seventy six percent

0:14:13.217 --> 0:14:15.577
<v Speaker 1>of them voted for him in twenty twenty he's down

0:14:15.577 --> 0:14:18.697
<v Speaker 1>at fifty three percent. So it's not only the Hispanic community,

0:14:18.737 --> 0:14:21.777
<v Speaker 1>but there's other demographics that Joe Biden is very very

0:14:21.777 --> 0:14:26.697
<v Speaker 1>badly present. Quinnipiac poll shows that Biden's approval among Hispanic

0:14:26.777 --> 0:14:29.977
<v Speaker 1>voters dropped from May of twenty twenty one, it was

0:14:30.097 --> 0:14:33.057
<v Speaker 1>fifty five percent. I mean, you know, solid numbers there

0:14:33.097 --> 0:14:37.417
<v Speaker 1>for Biden May of twenty twenty two, twenty six percent.

0:14:38.057 --> 0:14:41.697
<v Speaker 1>That is do not pass, go, do not collect two

0:14:41.777 --> 0:14:44.857
<v Speaker 1>hundred dollars kind of approval number. That is rough stuff

0:14:44.937 --> 0:14:49.017
<v Speaker 1>right there. And you're seeing that kind of holding over

0:14:49.097 --> 0:14:51.697
<v Speaker 1>the course of months. It's not like it's bumping up

0:14:51.697 --> 0:14:54.377
<v Speaker 1>and down and going in Biden's bay and then dropping

0:14:54.377 --> 0:14:56.577
<v Speaker 1>back down. No, it's holding pretty steady at that twenty

0:14:56.577 --> 0:14:58.777
<v Speaker 1>six point seven twenty eight percent of bruval rating in

0:14:58.777 --> 0:15:01.857
<v Speaker 1>the Hispanic community. I mean, these are all teletell signs

0:15:01.857 --> 0:15:05.137
<v Speaker 1>that they have real problem. I'm stating the obvious, Buck

0:15:05.177 --> 0:15:09.057
<v Speaker 1>when I say this, Democrats are facing an absolute slacking

0:15:09.737 --> 0:15:11.817
<v Speaker 1>come this fault, in fact so much Buck, I mean,

0:15:11.857 --> 0:15:14.857
<v Speaker 1>I'm here in my home state of Virginia, where it

0:15:14.897 --> 0:15:17.297
<v Speaker 1>was a twelve point flit between twenty twenty and twenty

0:15:17.337 --> 0:15:20.017
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. When you look at Biden versus Junkin, I

0:15:20.097 --> 0:15:22.057
<v Speaker 1>have to tell you I feel very comfortable in saying

0:15:22.097 --> 0:15:24.697
<v Speaker 1>anything that Joe Biden won by twelve or thirteen points

0:15:24.697 --> 0:15:27.657
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty is absolutely in play in twenty twenty two.

0:15:27.897 --> 0:15:29.577
<v Speaker 1>In fact, so much so, I'd even go out on

0:15:29.577 --> 0:15:31.857
<v Speaker 1>a limb and say this, Buck, I think anything that's

0:15:31.857 --> 0:15:34.577
<v Speaker 1>twenty points are less that Joe Biden won in twenty

0:15:34.577 --> 0:15:39.177
<v Speaker 1>twenty might absolutely be competitive this fall. So what are

0:15:39.217 --> 0:15:42.097
<v Speaker 1>some of the races than some of the states or

0:15:42.257 --> 0:15:45.817
<v Speaker 1>districts that are high profile that you think could be

0:15:45.857 --> 0:15:48.537
<v Speaker 1>in the indigetable maybe a bit of a reach but

0:15:48.697 --> 0:15:53.257
<v Speaker 1>gettable category going into this fall. The easiest place to

0:15:53.297 --> 0:15:56.337
<v Speaker 1>start is with the statewide with the Senate. You look

0:15:56.377 --> 0:16:00.577
<v Speaker 1>at Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire. I think those are

0:16:00.617 --> 0:16:04.617
<v Speaker 1>absolutely real pickup opportunities for Republicans. Where I think it

0:16:04.697 --> 0:16:07.577
<v Speaker 1>gets very interesting is when you start to look at

0:16:07.617 --> 0:16:12.217
<v Speaker 1>states like Connecticut and Washington in Colorado, where people are thinking, no,

0:16:12.337 --> 0:16:15.017
<v Speaker 1>that there's no way those could be competitive in twenty

0:16:15.057 --> 0:16:17.497
<v Speaker 1>twenty two, But those are right at the twenty nineteen

0:16:17.577 --> 0:16:20.857
<v Speaker 1>I think Colorado was fourteen point margin of victory for

0:16:20.937 --> 0:16:24.017
<v Speaker 1>Biden in twenty twenty. I think those three Senate races

0:16:24.097 --> 0:16:26.537
<v Speaker 1>could be highly competitive. I'm not saying we're going to

0:16:26.577 --> 0:16:29.097
<v Speaker 1>win them. I think we might be able to sneak one,

0:16:29.177 --> 0:16:33.537
<v Speaker 1>maybe two of them, though that would be fantastic obviously.

0:16:33.657 --> 0:16:36.137
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm certainly hopeful by the way Moe Brooks

0:16:36.177 --> 0:16:40.257
<v Speaker 1>swearing off the day in against what is it britt

0:16:40.297 --> 0:16:44.217
<v Speaker 1>in britt in Alabama? What do you think of? What

0:16:44.257 --> 0:16:47.057
<v Speaker 1>do you think of that race for that Senate seat?

0:16:47.097 --> 0:16:50.337
<v Speaker 1>You know, Brooks got the Trump endorsement, The Trump endorsement

0:16:50.377 --> 0:16:53.577
<v Speaker 1>got went drawn. I mean, I've known Mo Brooks, so

0:16:53.577 --> 0:16:55.857
<v Speaker 1>I knew himhen he was a congressman. He was really

0:16:55.857 --> 0:16:58.137
<v Speaker 1>good on the border, really good on immigration. That's all

0:16:58.177 --> 0:17:00.577
<v Speaker 1>I really remember about his time then, though, So what

0:17:00.937 --> 0:17:05.257
<v Speaker 1>went on here, Well, it really came down to Moe

0:17:05.337 --> 0:17:08.977
<v Speaker 1>Brooks announcing in front of a very large rally that

0:17:09.137 --> 0:17:11.937
<v Speaker 1>he thought we needed to move past the twenty twenty elections,

0:17:12.337 --> 0:17:14.537
<v Speaker 1>which of course is a big issue with Trump. On

0:17:14.577 --> 0:17:17.177
<v Speaker 1>top of that, he was running a rather lackluster campaign

0:17:17.217 --> 0:17:20.697
<v Speaker 1>at the time. I think a combination of factors Trump

0:17:20.737 --> 0:17:24.097
<v Speaker 1>Trump pulled the endorsement. I have to tell you what

0:17:24.257 --> 0:17:27.537
<v Speaker 1>irritated Trump coming down the home stretch in the primary

0:17:28.217 --> 0:17:31.657
<v Speaker 1>was that Mo actually continued to use that endorsement after

0:17:31.697 --> 0:17:34.497
<v Speaker 1>it had been rescinded and sent out a mail or so.

0:17:34.537 --> 0:17:36.857
<v Speaker 1>People I think were a little surprised that Trump endorsed

0:17:36.857 --> 0:17:42.177
<v Speaker 1>britt afterwards in the runoff. I was not actual. How

0:17:42.177 --> 0:17:44.417
<v Speaker 1>do you have any any prediction for us on that one?

0:17:44.457 --> 0:17:48.457
<v Speaker 1>People are voting as we speak. I gotta tell you,

0:17:48.497 --> 0:17:51.057
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see Moe Win being completely honest,

0:17:51.097 --> 0:17:54.017
<v Speaker 1>but I'm giving Brits the nod. I think she's going

0:17:54.057 --> 0:17:55.097
<v Speaker 1>to be able to pull it out because you have

0:17:55.097 --> 0:17:59.057
<v Speaker 1>to understand she's Shelby's former chief of staff, and Shelby

0:17:59.097 --> 0:18:02.217
<v Speaker 1>has a very powerful machine inside of Alabama. Even though

0:18:02.217 --> 0:18:04.817
<v Speaker 1>Trump is very popular and Trump is very popular as well.

0:18:04.857 --> 0:18:07.337
<v Speaker 1>So I think those two combined factors are going to

0:18:07.377 --> 0:18:09.617
<v Speaker 1>make it very hard for Moe to overcome. But hey,

0:18:09.697 --> 0:18:11.497
<v Speaker 1>I would love to see Moe win. I just think

0:18:11.497 --> 0:18:15.177
<v Speaker 1>BRIT's gonna pull it out to night. And uh, you know,

0:18:15.217 --> 0:18:18.577
<v Speaker 1>the the race between herschel Walker, you know, I I

0:18:18.617 --> 0:18:23.377
<v Speaker 1>interviewed herschel earlier today on Radio UM and he showed

0:18:23.417 --> 0:18:28.017
<v Speaker 1>a real grasp of the issues and particular fluency I

0:18:28.057 --> 0:18:32.017
<v Speaker 1>think in connecting to people over the issue of gas prices.

0:18:32.537 --> 0:18:35.137
<v Speaker 1>You know, if if there's one Senate race that you

0:18:35.897 --> 0:18:38.417
<v Speaker 1>are you really you know, what's the biggest one for

0:18:38.457 --> 0:18:40.017
<v Speaker 1>you that you that you think is going to be

0:18:40.057 --> 0:18:42.137
<v Speaker 1>the harbinger of things to come? I mean, is it

0:18:42.537 --> 0:18:47.017
<v Speaker 1>that race between Warnock and herschel Walker or is it

0:18:47.137 --> 0:18:49.097
<v Speaker 1>Laxalt out of Nevada? I mean, which one are you

0:18:49.097 --> 0:18:54.457
<v Speaker 1>gonna be watching most closely? I feel really confident about Georgia,

0:18:54.537 --> 0:18:58.017
<v Speaker 1>Arizona and Nevada. I think the one that's going to

0:18:58.057 --> 0:19:01.217
<v Speaker 1>tell you is going to be a disaster. Is New Hampshire.

0:19:02.257 --> 0:19:04.697
<v Speaker 1>If we take back New Hampshire. I think it's game

0:19:04.697 --> 0:19:09.297
<v Speaker 1>on with those other homes. Verbe at home. Who's in

0:19:09.337 --> 0:19:11.977
<v Speaker 1>that one? And what how's it looking right now? Boy,

0:19:12.017 --> 0:19:14.137
<v Speaker 1>It's one of those things. I have to tell you.

0:19:14.177 --> 0:19:17.017
<v Speaker 1>It's been a little They wanted Sunu, the NSC was

0:19:17.257 --> 0:19:20.737
<v Speaker 1>recruiting Governor Sonounu. We might not get the top quality

0:19:20.777 --> 0:19:22.417
<v Speaker 1>candidate that we want, but I think at this point

0:19:22.417 --> 0:19:25.457
<v Speaker 1>it's twenty twenty two buck and I think any Democrat

0:19:25.537 --> 0:19:27.897
<v Speaker 1>that's on the ballot and a lot of these states,

0:19:27.937 --> 0:19:30.057
<v Speaker 1>you have to look at Biden's approval rating. It's in

0:19:30.097 --> 0:19:32.937
<v Speaker 1>the low thirties. I think he's maybe thirty seven thirty

0:19:32.937 --> 0:19:35.977
<v Speaker 1>eight percent in New Hampshire. And I would remind people

0:19:36.417 --> 0:19:39.537
<v Speaker 1>in the twenty ten shellacking, Obama was at forty four

0:19:39.577 --> 0:19:42.457
<v Speaker 1>point seven percent approval and he got absolutely hosed in

0:19:42.497 --> 0:19:45.097
<v Speaker 1>the House and the Senate races, and Joe Biden is

0:19:45.137 --> 0:19:47.537
<v Speaker 1>well below that mark, not only nationally, but when you

0:19:47.537 --> 0:19:50.137
<v Speaker 1>get to these individual states, he's in the low thirties,

0:19:50.137 --> 0:19:51.857
<v Speaker 1>even in the high twenties, and some of these key

0:19:51.857 --> 0:19:55.497
<v Speaker 1>center races. I think it's gonna be a good fall,

0:19:55.657 --> 0:19:59.097
<v Speaker 1>ned keeper fingers on the prize. Thanks so much for

0:19:59.137 --> 0:20:01.657
<v Speaker 1>being with us, my friend. Good to see you, Thanks Bud.

0:20:03.177 --> 0:20:06.537
<v Speaker 1>All right, coming up, a major decision on religious freedom

0:20:06.617 --> 0:20:09.817
<v Speaker 1>comes down in a sixty three ruling from the Supreme

0:20:10.257 --> 0:20:12.177
<v Speaker 1>What does it mean for people who want to be

0:20:12.257 --> 0:20:14.657
<v Speaker 1>able to use Devout your program to send their kids

0:20:14.657 --> 0:20:20.097
<v Speaker 1>to Catholic, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, any schools out there. We'll

0:20:20.137 --> 0:20:23.737

0:20:23.777 --> 0:20:26.497
<v Speaker 1>talk you about protecting your online data. A lot of

0:20:28.897 --> 0:20:31.257
<v Speaker 1>not true. That's why you need a new privacy and

<v Speaker 1>Hold the line. A blow for a religious freedom today,

0:21:24.897 --> 0:21:28.577
<v Speaker 1>struck by the Supreme Court in a six three decision

0:21:29.177 --> 0:21:31.377
<v Speaker 1>that will make it a whole lot easier for our

0:21:31.417 --> 0:21:34.937
<v Speaker 1>parents across the country who want their children to go

0:21:35.017 --> 0:21:38.457
<v Speaker 1>to religious schools to be able to do so. Turns

0:21:38.457 --> 0:21:41.897
<v Speaker 1>out the wall of separation between church and state, which

0:21:41.937 --> 0:21:44.337
<v Speaker 1>doesn't actually exist in the First Permendment or the Constitution,

0:21:44.897 --> 0:21:47.097
<v Speaker 1>isn't quite what a lot of Libs thought it was.

0:21:47.417 --> 0:21:50.297
<v Speaker 1>We're joined now by Bethany Mandel. She's editor of Heroes

0:21:50.297 --> 0:21:54.137
<v Speaker 1>of Liberty and contributing writer at Desirete News. Talk to

0:21:54.217 --> 0:21:56.817
<v Speaker 1>us about all this, Bethany, thanks for being here, Hey,

0:21:56.857 --> 0:22:00.457
<v Speaker 1>thanks much for having me. From first, Gill, what was

0:22:00.497 --> 0:22:04.217
<v Speaker 1>at issue in this six three Supreme Court decision that

0:22:04.377 --> 0:22:06.737
<v Speaker 1>came down today? What are the facts of the case

0:22:06.737 --> 0:22:09.777
<v Speaker 1>that folks need to know. Yeah, So, basically, this Preme

0:22:09.817 --> 0:22:13.897
<v Speaker 1>Court decided that parents in Maine can use their tuition

0:22:13.977 --> 0:22:17.617
<v Speaker 1>vouchers for religious schools, not just you know, any old

0:22:17.617 --> 0:22:20.057
<v Speaker 1>private school, but that they have to be able to

0:22:20.137 --> 0:22:24.737
<v Speaker 1>use those tuition vouchers even at religious schools. So it

0:22:24.817 --> 0:22:27.977
<v Speaker 1>was a pretty big decision for school choice advocates today.

0:22:29.537 --> 0:22:34.537
<v Speaker 1>And so what do you think this means nationwide for

0:22:34.657 --> 0:22:38.497
<v Speaker 1>the trend It seems of school choice and specifically religious

0:22:38.497 --> 0:22:42.537
<v Speaker 1>school of choice. Yeah. Absolutely, So for states that this

0:22:42.657 --> 0:22:45.697
<v Speaker 1>choice is granted, it opens up the door to a

0:22:45.737 --> 0:22:48.017
<v Speaker 1>lot more a lot more religious schools to be able

0:22:48.097 --> 0:22:50.537
<v Speaker 1>to take this money. And so, you know, not just

0:22:50.657 --> 0:22:53.897
<v Speaker 1>Catholic schools, but you know, schools of any religious persuasion

0:22:53.977 --> 0:22:58.177
<v Speaker 1>can take this money from voucher programs and and you know,

0:22:58.537 --> 0:23:03.297
<v Speaker 1>expand their programming into parochial programs that were that were

0:23:03.337 --> 0:23:08.457
<v Speaker 1>just sort of channeled before into private education without any

0:23:08.497 --> 0:23:12.217
<v Speaker 1>sort of religious structure. The basics, as I see here,

0:23:12.417 --> 0:23:16.337
<v Speaker 1>that this could increase school voucher programs, tax credits to

0:23:16.417 --> 0:23:21.017
<v Speaker 1>fund scholarships, and tax exempt educational savings accounts. The Supreme

0:23:21.097 --> 0:23:25.577
<v Speaker 1>Court decision reads, under the new program, parents designate the

0:23:25.657 --> 0:23:28.457
<v Speaker 1>secondary school that would like their child to attend, public

0:23:28.537 --> 0:23:31.737
<v Speaker 1>or private, and the school district transmits payments to that

0:23:31.897 --> 0:23:36.057
<v Speaker 1>school to help defray the cost of tuition. Also, the

0:23:36.097 --> 0:23:38.817
<v Speaker 1>documented states that if a state uses taxpayer money to

0:23:38.817 --> 0:23:42.097
<v Speaker 1>pay for students attending non religious private schools, it must

0:23:42.177 --> 0:23:47.337
<v Speaker 1>also use taxpayer funds to pay for attendance at religious schools. So,

0:23:47.937 --> 0:23:50.937
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do we expect that this will perhaps increase

0:23:51.217 --> 0:23:56.017
<v Speaker 1>enrollment at schools that are a Christian, Jewish, or Muslim

0:23:56.017 --> 0:24:00.177
<v Speaker 1>and anything else that may be involved here or what? What

0:24:00.057 --> 0:24:03.177
<v Speaker 1>What do you think? Yeah? No, absolutely. I mean for

0:24:03.217 --> 0:24:05.257
<v Speaker 1>a lot of parents who wanted to pull their kids

0:24:05.257 --> 0:24:08.297
<v Speaker 1>out of the public school system, money was a huge consideration,

0:24:08.337 --> 0:24:10.497
<v Speaker 1>and so they were sort of, you know, in Maine

0:24:10.577 --> 0:24:13.577
<v Speaker 1>or in similar states, they were deciding, you know, we'll

0:24:13.617 --> 0:24:15.817
<v Speaker 1>send our kids to a private school that's better than

0:24:15.857 --> 0:24:18.217
<v Speaker 1>the publics. But if the money can't go to a

0:24:18.337 --> 0:24:21.057
<v Speaker 1>religious school, then I guess we'll try to send them

0:24:21.137 --> 0:24:24.937
<v Speaker 1>to a different sort of more morally aligned private But

0:24:25.017 --> 0:24:26.897
<v Speaker 1>now they don't have to make that choice. Now they

0:24:26.897 --> 0:24:29.857
<v Speaker 1>can they can have their money follow their student to

0:24:29.937 --> 0:24:32.177
<v Speaker 1>a religious school or to not a religious school, and

0:24:32.177 --> 0:24:34.337
<v Speaker 1>that really opens the door for a lot of religious

0:24:34.337 --> 0:24:37.777
<v Speaker 1>schools that had been hampered by the fact that, you know,

0:24:37.817 --> 0:24:40.977
<v Speaker 1>their competitors down the road, who didn't have a religious

0:24:40.977 --> 0:24:43.817
<v Speaker 1>affiliation were able to take a lot more cash from

0:24:43.857 --> 0:24:45.937
<v Speaker 1>the state, and now they're able to take it too.

0:24:46.857 --> 0:24:50.297
<v Speaker 1>The Chief Justice John Roberts, who joined the majority in

0:24:50.337 --> 0:24:54.617
<v Speaker 1>this sixth three decision, wrote that Maine's non sectarian requirement

0:24:54.697 --> 0:25:00.017
<v Speaker 1>for otherwise generally available tuition assistance payments violates the free

0:25:00.137 --> 0:25:05.257
<v Speaker 1>exercise clause of the First Amendment. What do you think, Yeah,

0:25:05.337 --> 0:25:08.937
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it absolutely does parents have to you know,

0:25:09.817 --> 0:25:12.577
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why they. I mean, I do understand

0:25:12.617 --> 0:25:16.257
<v Speaker 1>why they limited the use of these funds for religious schools.

0:25:16.257 --> 0:25:20.417
<v Speaker 1>It's because they wanted to handicap them, and it was

0:25:20.617 --> 0:25:23.857
<v Speaker 1>against the religious freedom, the religious rights of these schools

0:25:23.857 --> 0:25:25.497
<v Speaker 1>to be able to take this money just like any

0:25:25.497 --> 0:25:28.377
<v Speaker 1>other private school. And so yeah, I mean it was

0:25:28.417 --> 0:25:33.897
<v Speaker 1>a long time coming. Also in the minority opinion here,

0:25:33.977 --> 0:25:37.937
<v Speaker 1>Justice Soda Mayor shared her thoughts as follows. This Court

0:25:38.017 --> 0:25:42.377
<v Speaker 1>continues to dismantle the wall of separation between church and

0:25:42.457 --> 0:25:46.097
<v Speaker 1>state that the Framers fought to build. The Court has

0:25:46.257 --> 0:25:49.857
<v Speaker 1>upended constitutional doctrine shifting from a rule that permits states

0:25:50.737 --> 0:25:55.097
<v Speaker 1>to decline to fund religious organization the one that requires states,

0:25:55.777 --> 0:26:01.577
<v Speaker 1>in many circumstances to subsidize religious indoctrination with taxpayer dollars.

0:26:02.497 --> 0:26:04.537
<v Speaker 1>I honestly do wonder as I read this if Justice

0:26:04.537 --> 0:26:07.377
<v Speaker 1>Soda Mayor knows that the wall of separation between church

0:26:07.457 --> 0:26:11.497
<v Speaker 1>and state isn't actually a thing. Yeah, I mean, and

0:26:11.537 --> 0:26:13.937
<v Speaker 1>it's also disturbing that she thinks, just sending your kids

0:26:13.937 --> 0:26:17.617
<v Speaker 1>who a Jewish school or Catholic schools religious indoctrination. No,

0:26:17.737 --> 0:26:21.617
<v Speaker 1>it's just education. There is so much wrong with that

0:26:22.337 --> 0:26:24.097
<v Speaker 1>statement that I don't even know where to begin to

0:26:24.177 --> 0:26:28.057
<v Speaker 1>unpack it. Yeah, I mean, she's she's citing this obviously,

0:26:28.257 --> 0:26:30.817
<v Speaker 1>and you could say it's a very common talking point

0:26:31.177 --> 0:26:34.337
<v Speaker 1>among people that are either atheist or believe very strongly

0:26:34.897 --> 0:26:39.617
<v Speaker 1>in and denigrating any kind of public, public exercise of

0:26:39.697 --> 0:26:42.657
<v Speaker 1>religion or anything in the public cheer. Of course, it

0:26:42.697 --> 0:26:44.537
<v Speaker 1>doesn't appear in the first round. It doesn't appear in

0:26:44.577 --> 0:26:47.737
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution anywhere, and they speak of it with reverences

0:26:47.777 --> 0:26:50.937
<v Speaker 1>as though it does. So. I mean, I think that

0:26:50.937 --> 0:26:53.217
<v Speaker 1>this at least shows that on some key issues of

0:26:53.897 --> 0:26:57.137
<v Speaker 1>First Amendment freedom, this Court seems to be unified with

0:26:57.177 --> 0:27:00.017
<v Speaker 1>a sixth three at least a sixth three decision, which

0:27:00.097 --> 0:27:02.857
<v Speaker 1>is a good thing. I also want to ask what

0:27:02.937 --> 0:27:07.297
<v Speaker 1>you think about the big push going on right now

0:27:07.457 --> 0:27:13.097
<v Speaker 1>from the leg separately from this, to push for children

0:27:13.137 --> 0:27:16.657
<v Speaker 1>to be exposed to drag perform which this has become

0:27:16.697 --> 0:27:20.217
<v Speaker 1>a big cultural flashpoint. A lot of people will openly

0:27:20.297 --> 0:27:23.217
<v Speaker 1>say this is a good thing and that drag like

0:27:23.337 --> 0:27:26.817
<v Speaker 1>why does drag queen story our have to be something

0:27:26.857 --> 0:27:30.457
<v Speaker 1>that people get behind? Why not just have adult males

0:27:30.537 --> 0:27:33.497
<v Speaker 1>or adult females dressed as they normally would reading to children?

0:27:33.497 --> 0:27:36.137
<v Speaker 1>Like what what do they get out of this? I

0:27:36.457 --> 0:27:38.497
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I mean, where is justice? Soota my word?

0:27:38.617 --> 0:27:42.257
<v Speaker 1>Right now, let's let's protect children from this religious indoctrination

0:27:42.737 --> 0:27:45.377
<v Speaker 1>of the drag queens. This is this is part of

0:27:45.377 --> 0:27:48.577
<v Speaker 1>their religion. They think that, you know, drag queens have

0:27:48.617 --> 0:27:53.137
<v Speaker 1>to have this access to children, and therefore why didn't

0:27:53.177 --> 0:27:56.697
<v Speaker 1>their horizons. I'm really not sure. What it comes down

0:27:56.737 --> 0:27:59.737
<v Speaker 1>to is just the total sexualization of childhood, which is

0:27:59.777 --> 0:28:04.377
<v Speaker 1>their ultimate goal. And I really I don't understand the

0:28:04.497 --> 0:28:09.777
<v Speaker 1>fervent desire to expose children to gyrating men dressed as women.

0:28:09.857 --> 0:28:13.777
<v Speaker 1>But there's so so much wrong with it, and your

0:28:13.777 --> 0:28:15.937
<v Speaker 1>parents can do whatever they want to do, but we're

0:28:15.977 --> 0:28:19.137
<v Speaker 1>paying for it with our tax dollars in public schools,

0:28:19.737 --> 0:28:22.617
<v Speaker 1>in public school library and when they do these events

0:28:22.617 --> 0:28:26.217
<v Speaker 1>in New York City and also in the public libraries

0:28:26.217 --> 0:28:30.457
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yes, it just seems to me that this

0:28:30.497 --> 0:28:32.737
<v Speaker 1>would be such an easy issue to be dealt with

0:28:32.777 --> 0:28:35.697
<v Speaker 1>by just everyone agreeing. There's no reason for this to

0:28:35.697 --> 0:28:39.377
<v Speaker 1>be happening in the first place. But it's obviously important

0:28:39.417 --> 0:28:42.377
<v Speaker 1>to a segment of the left that young children are

0:28:42.457 --> 0:28:49.297
<v Speaker 1>exposed to people who are men who are dressed as women. Yeah. Yeah,

0:28:49.337 --> 0:28:52.257
<v Speaker 1>I really don't understand it. I mean it used to be,

0:28:52.697 --> 0:28:55.697
<v Speaker 1>you know, when Pride Month was around, I don't know,

0:28:56.337 --> 0:28:59.257
<v Speaker 1>five years ago, it was just a celebration and it

0:28:59.297 --> 0:29:01.937
<v Speaker 1>was just, you know, everyone has to accept us. And

0:29:02.937 --> 0:29:06.457
<v Speaker 1>now it's become sort of force fit, not just at us,

0:29:06.457 --> 0:29:09.457
<v Speaker 1>but also our children. And if you don't want your

0:29:09.777 --> 0:29:13.297
<v Speaker 1>taugh oddler being read a book about Swish, go the

0:29:13.337 --> 0:29:16.617
<v Speaker 1>Drag Queen's Hips, which is a real book. Suddenly you're

0:29:16.617 --> 0:29:21.297
<v Speaker 1>a bigott. The line keeps on going farther and farther,

0:29:21.977 --> 0:29:24.217
<v Speaker 1>and we should have drawn it a long time ago,

0:29:24.337 --> 0:29:27.337
<v Speaker 1>and now with the drag Queen Story hour, I think

0:29:27.417 --> 0:29:30.097
<v Speaker 1>finally we're starting to realize that they're just all out

0:29:30.137 --> 0:29:36.057
<v Speaker 1>assault on childhood, on innocence, on all of it. Bethanny,

0:29:36.137 --> 0:29:41.697
<v Speaker 1>thanks for being with us. Thank you. The Twitter Board

0:29:41.857 --> 0:29:45.977
<v Speaker 1>has approved officially Elon must take over bid for that

0:29:46.057 --> 0:29:48.777
<v Speaker 1>social media giant. When we come back, we'll speak to

0:29:48.897 --> 0:29:52.217
<v Speaker 1>Kara Frederick of the Heritage Foundation about just what this

0:29:52.257 --> 0:29:54.097
<v Speaker 1>means and where it's all going to stay with us.

0:29:58.337 --> 0:30:01.057
<v Speaker 1>Each morning, the President of the United States receives a

0:30:01.137 --> 0:30:04.657
<v Speaker 1>highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country.

0:30:04.977 --> 0:30:08.537
<v Speaker 1>It's called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered

0:30:08.577 --> 0:30:11.657
<v Speaker 1>by America's spies and analy Well, now you can hear

0:30:11.697 --> 0:30:14.777
<v Speaker 1>your very own PDB in the form of a podcast

0:30:14.817 --> 0:30:18.857
<v Speaker 1>hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer.

0:30:19.217 --> 0:30:21.937
<v Speaker 1>Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen

0:30:21.977 --> 0:30:24.777
<v Speaker 1>to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country,

0:30:24.977 --> 0:30:28.337
<v Speaker 1>giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to

0:30:28.377 --> 0:30:40.417
<v Speaker 1>start your morning. Elon Musk, a step closer to his

0:30:40.897 --> 0:30:45.657
<v Speaker 1>actual takeover of Twitter. Board has met of that company

0:30:45.657 --> 0:30:50.177
<v Speaker 1>and they have approved Elon's takeover bid. So what does

0:30:50.177 --> 0:30:51.577
<v Speaker 1>this mean? How do we get to this point? Where

0:30:51.577 --> 0:30:53.977
<v Speaker 1>are we going? What does it mean for free speech?

0:30:54.617 --> 0:30:56.417
<v Speaker 1>All that good stuff we got? Kara Frederick with us,

0:30:56.457 --> 0:31:00.017
<v Speaker 1>now director of the Tech Policy Center at the Heritage Foundation,

0:31:00.137 --> 0:31:04.937
<v Speaker 1>former Facebook employee, She knows how these big tech companies work. Kara,

0:31:05.057 --> 0:31:07.577
<v Speaker 1>thanks for being back with us. Of course, thanks for

0:31:07.617 --> 0:31:11.577
<v Speaker 1>having me Buck. So how much of a milestone is

0:31:11.617 --> 0:31:15.977
<v Speaker 1>this that Elon's actually gotten the approval of the board

0:31:16.017 --> 0:31:19.937
<v Speaker 1>over at Twitter. First of all, are you surprised at all?

0:31:20.057 --> 0:31:21.657
<v Speaker 1>Is this what you were expecting? And where do we

0:31:21.697 --> 0:31:25.337
<v Speaker 1>go from here? Look, I will say I'm a little surprised.

0:31:25.377 --> 0:31:27.137
<v Speaker 1>The last time I was on the program, I was like,

0:31:27.537 --> 0:31:30.417
<v Speaker 1>I'll give it fifty fifty at this point, because they've

0:31:30.457 --> 0:31:33.857
<v Speaker 1>thrown up obstacles in his way again and again and again,

0:31:34.217 --> 0:31:39.697
<v Speaker 1>the Joint SECDJ investigation, allegations of sexual misconduct, the board

0:31:39.697 --> 0:31:42.537
<v Speaker 1>taking the poison pill from the beginning, so I was

0:31:42.697 --> 0:31:45.737
<v Speaker 1>not so sanguine about this actually coming to fruition. So

0:31:45.777 --> 0:31:48.897
<v Speaker 1>I think this is a pretty big milestone. But as

0:31:48.977 --> 0:31:52.417
<v Speaker 1>Elon himself has said today, there's three things that are

0:31:52.457 --> 0:31:56.977
<v Speaker 1>still unresolved that need to be fixed. Basically before this

0:31:57.057 --> 0:32:00.497
<v Speaker 1>goes forward. One the bot issue, right, he wants to

0:32:00.537 --> 0:32:04.537
<v Speaker 1>get it under five percent, the funding that all has

0:32:04.577 --> 0:32:08.177
<v Speaker 1>to come together. And number three, the shareholders still have

0:32:08.337 --> 0:32:12.137
<v Speaker 1>to vote to approve this take over. So three things,

0:32:12.177 --> 0:32:15.057
<v Speaker 1>some little, some not so little, but again, this is

0:32:15.057 --> 0:32:17.257
<v Speaker 1>a This is a massive win I think for the

0:32:17.337 --> 0:32:20.257
<v Speaker 1>people on the side of free speech and for Elon himself.

0:32:21.417 --> 0:32:23.657
<v Speaker 1>So what are the steps down? I mean you mentioned

0:32:23.657 --> 0:32:28.857
<v Speaker 1>so there'll be voter approval, a stock shareholder approval. Do

0:32:28.897 --> 0:32:31.577
<v Speaker 1>we have any idea of what a timeline could be before?

0:32:31.897 --> 0:32:34.537
<v Speaker 1>I mean, basically, people want to know when are all

0:32:34.617 --> 0:32:37.017
<v Speaker 1>the Libs who are crying at their desks at the

0:32:37.137 --> 0:32:40.297
<v Speaker 1>mere prospect of free speech and Twitter? When are the

0:32:40.337 --> 0:32:42.457
<v Speaker 1>tears going to start to flow? Because this is a

0:32:42.537 --> 0:32:47.537
<v Speaker 1>done deal and it's all over for the open censorship

0:32:47.537 --> 0:32:50.577
<v Speaker 1>of conservatives on Twitter. You know, I think they should

0:32:50.617 --> 0:32:53.457
<v Speaker 1>get the tissues out at this point. I'm not quite

0:32:53.497 --> 0:32:56.897
<v Speaker 1>sure exactly when in terms of a timeline, but I

0:32:57.017 --> 0:32:59.697
<v Speaker 1>do think the shareholders would be wise to vote in

0:32:59.737 --> 0:33:03.537
<v Speaker 1>favor of this because right now Twitter is trading considerably

0:33:03.617 --> 0:33:07.897
<v Speaker 1>below what Elon's actually offering per share for the company.

0:33:08.257 --> 0:33:10.337
<v Speaker 1>Stocks are up a little bit. I think one percent

0:33:10.457 --> 0:33:12.417
<v Speaker 1>was the last figure I saw before I came on here,

0:33:12.497 --> 0:33:15.697
<v Speaker 1>But you know it is I think the fiduciary duty

0:33:16.137 --> 0:33:18.217
<v Speaker 1>of the board they did it right, they said yes,

0:33:18.297 --> 0:33:21.537
<v Speaker 1>and for their shareholders to actually let Elon take this

0:33:21.577 --> 0:33:24.297
<v Speaker 1>thing over. So I think that the Libs better get

0:33:24.337 --> 0:33:28.137
<v Speaker 1>their tissues out and again our prague Agerwall and all

0:33:28.177 --> 0:33:31.337
<v Speaker 1>of his lackeys better keep cleaning up the platform because

0:33:31.377 --> 0:33:36.057
<v Speaker 1>at this point, I think Elon's coming. If Twitter becomes

0:33:36.097 --> 0:33:40.897
<v Speaker 1>a true free speech guided platform, right, I mean, Elon's

0:33:40.897 --> 0:33:43.217
<v Speaker 1>always said, illegal stuff will still be illegal. You know,

0:33:43.257 --> 0:33:47.777
<v Speaker 1>you can't operate a digital you know, illegal drug market

0:33:47.817 --> 0:33:49.497
<v Speaker 1>or something on the platform. Obviously there are going to

0:33:49.537 --> 0:33:52.217
<v Speaker 1>be some things that they still don't allow and police.

0:33:53.137 --> 0:33:57.097
<v Speaker 1>But if Twitter does actually allow, you know, important political

0:33:57.137 --> 0:33:59.297
<v Speaker 1>debate from both sides of the aisle as part of

0:33:59.337 --> 0:34:02.457
<v Speaker 1>its mission going forward, do you think that will have

0:34:02.697 --> 0:34:06.497
<v Speaker 1>a meaningful impact on the way some of the other platforms,

0:34:06.537 --> 0:34:10.977
<v Speaker 1>notably your former employer Facebook, maybe even TikTok, approach their

0:34:11.257 --> 0:34:13.977
<v Speaker 1>approach censorship, because you know, then they won't all be

0:34:14.017 --> 0:34:16.017
<v Speaker 1>in it together, right, at least they'll be a break

0:34:16.057 --> 0:34:20.457
<v Speaker 1>in and the chains are breaking in the links of

0:34:20.497 --> 0:34:23.857
<v Speaker 1>the chain of collusion here. You know, Buck, you took

0:34:23.857 --> 0:34:26.217
<v Speaker 1>the words out of my mouth. Number one, I have

0:34:26.257 --> 0:34:30.177
<v Speaker 1>no hope for TikTok. So take that CCP own nonsense

0:34:30.257 --> 0:34:32.177
<v Speaker 1>out of here. Do what you gotta do to get

0:34:32.217 --> 0:34:34.817
<v Speaker 1>the kids off TikTok. Throw it away. Table that for

0:34:34.817 --> 0:34:38.217
<v Speaker 1>a second, Facebook, potentially. But what you said is the

0:34:38.337 --> 0:34:42.897
<v Speaker 1>bigger issue. It's breaking that ideological monopoly. What most people

0:34:42.977 --> 0:34:46.257
<v Speaker 1>don't know is that these tech companies, they move in concerts.

0:34:46.257 --> 0:34:48.977
<v Speaker 1>So Google's going to look to Facebook, Facebook's gonna look

0:34:48.977 --> 0:34:51.297
<v Speaker 1>to Twitter. They're all gonna look at each other and see,

0:34:51.457 --> 0:34:54.217
<v Speaker 1>are you making this decision? Okay, we're gonna follow suit.

0:34:54.257 --> 0:34:57.577
<v Speaker 1>We feel comfortable when one tech company makes a content

0:34:57.657 --> 0:35:01.017
<v Speaker 1>moderation decision, so we can make it too. But Twitter,

0:35:01.097 --> 0:35:03.457
<v Speaker 1>if they are going to be the stalwart, if they're

0:35:03.537 --> 0:35:06.137
<v Speaker 1>gonna you know, poke their head above the press, the

0:35:06.137 --> 0:35:09.817
<v Speaker 1>parapet and basically say no we believe in the first

0:35:10.057 --> 0:35:12.937
<v Speaker 1>I meant within the bounds of the law. Elon's words,

0:35:13.017 --> 0:35:16.217
<v Speaker 1>that is going to break that ideological monopoly. So they

0:35:16.257 --> 0:35:19.217
<v Speaker 1>can't all move in concert and then sort of point

0:35:19.257 --> 0:35:21.457
<v Speaker 1>fingers at each other when something like the Hunter Biden

0:35:21.537 --> 0:35:24.737
<v Speaker 1>laptop story is suppressed so that's what I see, and

0:35:24.857 --> 0:35:27.777
<v Speaker 1>you pointed it out very clearly, is that breaking of

0:35:27.777 --> 0:35:31.537
<v Speaker 1>the ideological monopoly Twitter is going to be a wrench

0:35:31.577 --> 0:35:35.257
<v Speaker 1>in the spokes effectively, and will all be excited as conservatives,

0:35:35.457 --> 0:35:40.777
<v Speaker 1>as freedom minded people for that to happen. I think

0:35:40.777 --> 0:35:44.737
<v Speaker 1>it's an internal chat chat companies Slack. I've never used it.

0:35:44.777 --> 0:35:46.377
<v Speaker 1>I've read a lot of stories about this one. I

0:35:46.417 --> 0:35:49.657
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of corporations use This kind of reminds

0:35:49.657 --> 0:35:51.737
<v Speaker 1>you of what Aol instant messenger was back in the

0:35:51.817 --> 0:35:55.617
<v Speaker 1>day for some people, but Slack has banned it. That

0:35:55.697 --> 0:35:58.497
<v Speaker 1>it was in the news this week the immigration restriction

0:35:58.697 --> 0:36:03.137
<v Speaker 1>group Federation for American Immigration Reform from using any of

0:36:03.177 --> 0:36:07.497
<v Speaker 1>its services for allegedly violating the company's terms of service.

0:36:08.777 --> 0:36:11.737
<v Speaker 1>But they said they wrote a letter to Slack quote,

0:36:11.737 --> 0:36:14.497
<v Speaker 1>you should be advised that fairies well aware there are

0:36:14.537 --> 0:36:16.857
<v Speaker 1>government actors who are actively trying to CeNSE their Americans

0:36:16.937 --> 0:36:19.777
<v Speaker 1>right to freedom of speech and their use of tech platforms,

0:36:20.057 --> 0:36:23.697
<v Speaker 1>including particular individuals the Department of Homeland Security. Evidence that

0:36:23.737 --> 0:36:26.337
<v Speaker 1>there was intervention by government officials in this matter would

0:36:26.377 --> 0:36:28.537
<v Speaker 1>be of supreme interest not only to fair but to

0:36:28.657 --> 0:36:32.657
<v Speaker 1>the general public. Preserve all intern communications in this anticipation

0:36:32.657 --> 0:36:35.657
<v Speaker 1>of probable litigation. You know, my friend Alex Barrinson, I know,

0:36:35.737 --> 0:36:38.537
<v Speaker 1>is in a lawsuit, ongoing lawsuit that has made it

0:36:38.577 --> 0:36:42.057
<v Speaker 1>past the initial phases and is going into discovery against Twitter.

0:36:42.497 --> 0:36:45.297
<v Speaker 1>It seems to me that the Federation for American Immigration

0:36:45.337 --> 0:36:48.097
<v Speaker 1>Reform President he are saying to Slack, Well, if you

0:36:48.097 --> 0:36:51.057
<v Speaker 1>guys were colluding with the government, the sitting Biden administration,

0:36:51.137 --> 0:36:55.737
<v Speaker 1>for example, this is going to be a legal issue. Exactly.

0:36:55.777 --> 0:36:59.697
<v Speaker 1>It's time to start treating these companies as quasi state actors.

0:36:59.777 --> 0:37:03.417
<v Speaker 1>We've seen this happen again and again, Jimsaki telling Facebook

0:37:03.417 --> 0:37:07.137
<v Speaker 1>we're working with them to flag problematic posts, her doing

0:37:07.137 --> 0:37:09.817
<v Speaker 1>it again to Spotify during the Joe Rogan issue when

0:37:09.817 --> 0:37:13.697
<v Speaker 1>he platforming doctor Malone. Where you have Joe Biden saying

0:37:13.737 --> 0:37:17.257
<v Speaker 1>private companies need to do more to police COVID misinformation,

0:37:17.577 --> 0:37:21.257
<v Speaker 1>DHS Secretary Majorca saying that we're working with these private

0:37:21.257 --> 0:37:25.417
<v Speaker 1>companies to ensure legitimate use of the platform, and then

0:37:25.457 --> 0:37:29.537
<v Speaker 1>the leaks from the Disinformation Board saying that we're operationalizing this,

0:37:29.857 --> 0:37:33.017
<v Speaker 1>working with the government, working with the executives a Twitter

0:37:33.337 --> 0:37:37.377
<v Speaker 1>to police American speech. This is indicative of a pattern

0:37:37.497 --> 0:37:40.977
<v Speaker 1>that we've seen again and again and again. And you're right,

0:37:41.057 --> 0:37:43.657
<v Speaker 1>is it a legal issue? Doesn't render these quote unquote

0:37:43.657 --> 0:37:47.257
<v Speaker 1>private companies as potential state actors. I think that's a

0:37:47.257 --> 0:37:49.737
<v Speaker 1>pretty good argument that it does. And I will say

0:37:49.897 --> 0:37:53.297
<v Speaker 1>when the climate change experts come out and who work

0:37:53.337 --> 0:37:56.457
<v Speaker 1>for the government and basically say we're working with platforms

0:37:56.497 --> 0:37:59.537
<v Speaker 1>to take down climate or potentially push them to take

0:37:59.577 --> 0:38:03.097
<v Speaker 1>down climate denialism. YouTube already institute is something like that

0:38:03.177 --> 0:38:07.057
<v Speaker 1>last October, then you have a big problem on your hands.

0:38:07.097 --> 0:38:10.417
<v Speaker 1>This is government and tech company collusion and big tech

0:38:10.457 --> 0:38:13.937
<v Speaker 1>are the new enforcers of what his right speak according

0:38:13.977 --> 0:38:17.177
<v Speaker 1>to the government. Huge problem. Take him to court. Put

0:38:17.177 --> 0:38:19.217
<v Speaker 1>the hammet on on these tech companies for this, because

0:38:19.217 --> 0:38:22.857
<v Speaker 1>they cannot be the mouthpiece of the Biden administration to

0:38:23.017 --> 0:38:28.817
<v Speaker 1>the detriment of the American citizen period. Gara Frederick always illuminating.

0:38:28.857 --> 0:38:35.297
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for being with us, Thanks Bud Biden fell off

0:38:35.337 --> 0:38:38.817
<v Speaker 1>his bike. Trump has some thought that's coming up next

0:38:38.977 --> 0:38:49.297
<v Speaker 1>quick it. Oh, it's time for those stories we throw

0:38:49.377 --> 0:38:50.977
<v Speaker 1>together for you at the end to make sure you

0:38:50.977 --> 0:38:53.737
<v Speaker 1>don't miss them. Some are wacky, some are crazy, some

0:38:53.857 --> 0:38:57.417
<v Speaker 1>are fun, some are oh my gosh, and more quick hits.

0:38:57.537 --> 0:39:00.177
<v Speaker 1>Let's get right to it. We have, as you know,

0:39:00.897 --> 0:39:04.577
<v Speaker 1>bicycle gate, not really just kidding. Joe Biden slipped on

0:39:04.617 --> 0:39:06.657
<v Speaker 1>his bike a little bit. He's fine, didn't hurt himself,

0:39:06.697 --> 0:39:08.377
<v Speaker 1>but it just looked a little goofy for a second.

0:39:08.897 --> 0:39:11.737
<v Speaker 1>And it's funny to watch how you point this out

0:39:11.777 --> 0:39:16.577
<v Speaker 1>and some members of the regimes protectors and the media

0:39:16.657 --> 0:39:19.577
<v Speaker 1>is say, oh, it's you know, it's fine. Everybody falls,

0:39:19.617 --> 0:39:23.097
<v Speaker 1>everybody slips. What's the big deal. Well, you know, it's

0:39:23.137 --> 0:39:24.857
<v Speaker 1>not a big deal until they make it a big deal.

0:39:24.897 --> 0:39:26.457
<v Speaker 1>And at some point you say to yourself, what the

0:39:26.457 --> 0:39:31.457
<v Speaker 1>heck is going on here? But Trump, always able with

0:39:31.617 --> 0:39:35.297
<v Speaker 1>the one liner, is always ready to step into the fray.

0:39:35.417 --> 0:39:39.857
<v Speaker 1>Had this to say about the habit that several previous

0:39:39.897 --> 0:39:43.417
<v Speaker 1>presidents have had about riding bicycles while they're in office.

0:39:43.457 --> 0:39:47.777
<v Speaker 1>Plot one of the greatest travesties of all is to

0:39:47.817 --> 0:39:50.977
<v Speaker 1>see a person in the White House who, even after

0:39:51.137 --> 0:39:55.817
<v Speaker 1>years of political experience, has absolutely no clue how to

0:39:55.897 --> 0:39:58.337
<v Speaker 1>be the president of the United States. And I hope

0:39:58.337 --> 0:40:01.617
<v Speaker 1>he has recovered because, as you know, he fell off

0:40:01.617 --> 0:40:06.337
<v Speaker 1>his bicycle. To them, No, I'm serious, I hope he's Okay,

0:40:08.097 --> 0:40:15.137
<v Speaker 1>fell off a bicycle. I make this pledge to you today.

0:40:15.217 --> 0:40:21.057
<v Speaker 1>I will never ever ride a bicycle. Never ride a bicycle.

0:40:21.097 --> 0:40:23.017
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a big bicycle got to be out. I

0:40:23.057 --> 0:40:25.297
<v Speaker 1>do ride any scooter in to do this show, which

0:40:26.177 --> 0:40:27.857
<v Speaker 1>is a very fun way to get around. You don't

0:40:27.857 --> 0:40:31.057
<v Speaker 1>necessarily look like a badass that's putting it mildly, but

0:40:31.177 --> 0:40:32.777
<v Speaker 1>you do get there quickly and it it's fun and

0:40:32.857 --> 0:40:36.057
<v Speaker 1>just sort of scoot scooting around. Bicycle's not for me,

0:40:36.257 --> 0:40:39.377
<v Speaker 1>not for the former president either, and maybe president again.

0:40:40.097 --> 0:40:42.497
<v Speaker 1>So I believe that we are all fighting a war

0:40:42.617 --> 0:40:46.137
<v Speaker 1>against noise, and there are people who are on the

0:40:46.177 --> 0:40:48.097
<v Speaker 1>side of the inconsiderate and the people who are in

0:40:48.097 --> 0:40:51.297
<v Speaker 1>the side of the considerate. This is a battle between

0:40:51.657 --> 0:40:57.697
<v Speaker 1>evil and good, between those who have some desire to

0:40:57.817 --> 0:41:00.097
<v Speaker 1>protect civilization and those who don't care if it comes

0:41:00.097 --> 0:41:02.817
<v Speaker 1>a part of the themes. And excessive noise is all

0:41:02.857 --> 0:41:05.297
<v Speaker 1>over the place these days, people on their speaker phones

0:41:05.337 --> 0:41:09.297
<v Speaker 1>and restaurants playing their bluetooth speakers. At the beach, I

0:41:09.297 --> 0:41:12.697
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear whatever the make believe DJ of

0:41:12.737 --> 0:41:15.137
<v Speaker 1>the Moment thinks we all need to hear at the beach.

0:41:15.177 --> 0:41:17.177
<v Speaker 1>I just want to hear the waves and the birds

0:41:17.217 --> 0:41:19.737
<v Speaker 1>and quiet. I don't want to hear their crappy music. Right.

0:41:19.817 --> 0:41:22.417
<v Speaker 1>Everyone understands that this is the civilized response, and those

0:41:22.457 --> 0:41:25.337
<v Speaker 1>who don't aren't very civilized. And you know, if someone's

0:41:25.377 --> 0:41:28.297
<v Speaker 1>having a wedding and they ask you, hey, can you

0:41:28.337 --> 0:41:31.737
<v Speaker 1>maybe just stop with the lawnmower. It's their wedding day,

0:41:31.857 --> 0:41:33.777
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe you just wait before you have to

0:41:33.777 --> 0:41:35.777
<v Speaker 1>take care of the lawn right away. The lawn is

0:41:35.817 --> 0:41:37.777
<v Speaker 1>not gonna the lawn is not gonna catch on fire

0:41:37.817 --> 0:41:39.617
<v Speaker 1>if you don't cut it right. In that moment, New

0:41:39.697 --> 0:41:43.297
<v Speaker 1>York posted a story about how this a woman continued

0:41:43.377 --> 0:41:48.457
<v Speaker 1>with our lawnmower even during a wedding next door. The

0:41:48.457 --> 0:41:51.057
<v Speaker 1>neighbors are having a wedding in their yard. They couldn't

0:41:51.057 --> 0:41:54.257
<v Speaker 1>even hear the vows because the lawnmower was so loud,

0:41:55.017 --> 0:41:59.297
<v Speaker 1>and couldn't We couldn't get this. They couldn't get this

0:41:59.337 --> 0:42:03.097
<v Speaker 1>neighbor to stop with the lawnmower. So it's got to

0:42:03.177 --> 0:42:08.057
<v Speaker 1>tell you, you know, be considerate. Excess noise unacceptable, and

0:42:08.217 --> 0:42:10.857
<v Speaker 1>excess noise when it's not next Sarah, if you can

0:42:10.897 --> 0:42:13.577
<v Speaker 1>time it out, you know, no reason, no reason for that.

0:42:14.897 --> 0:42:18.697
<v Speaker 1>Here's a poster photograph in New Jersey school that says,

0:42:18.737 --> 0:42:22.017
<v Speaker 1>if your parents aren't accepting of your identity, I'm your

0:42:22.057 --> 0:42:25.977
<v Speaker 1>mom now. Poster includes a bear and bearcubs colored like

0:42:26.497 --> 0:42:32.097
<v Speaker 1>the the Pride flags. I believe that's that's what this

0:42:32.177 --> 0:42:35.177
<v Speaker 1>is all about. Um, there needs to stop being this

0:42:35.257 --> 0:42:38.377
<v Speaker 1>movement among leftists and and some people in the schools

0:42:38.777 --> 0:42:43.217
<v Speaker 1>to try to have kids become trans without their parents knowing,

0:42:43.497 --> 0:42:45.937
<v Speaker 1>because we all know that this is really weird and

0:42:45.977 --> 0:42:49.177
<v Speaker 1>they need to stop, and that there's a social contagion

0:42:49.257 --> 0:42:53.337
<v Speaker 1>going on here. But very they get very tense when

0:42:53.337 --> 0:42:55.497
<v Speaker 1>you bring that stuff up. And then the White House

0:42:55.497 --> 0:42:59.057
<v Speaker 1>Press secretary response to a question about the recession, and

0:42:59.097 --> 0:43:01.337
<v Speaker 1>here's what she said. You got to see it. The

0:43:01.457 --> 0:43:05.737
<v Speaker 1>President said, there's no inevitability around the recession, but there

0:43:05.857 --> 0:43:09.937
<v Speaker 1>is a greater deal of market concern about exactly that.

0:43:10.617 --> 0:43:12.977
<v Speaker 1>And I know the inflation that you're number one concern,

0:43:13.057 --> 0:43:15.057
<v Speaker 1>But can you talk a little bit about if you're

0:43:15.057 --> 0:43:18.977
<v Speaker 1>doing anything at all to prevent a recession or arising unemployment.

0:43:19.417 --> 0:43:21.417
<v Speaker 1>So the way that we see this, and you've heard

0:43:21.497 --> 0:43:24.097
<v Speaker 1>us talk about this, that we're in a moment of transition.

0:43:24.817 --> 0:43:28.737
<v Speaker 1>We have seen. We are in a unique situation with

0:43:28.937 --> 0:43:33.897
<v Speaker 1>our with the historical gains, with our economy the way

0:43:33.937 --> 0:43:36.777
<v Speaker 1>that we see it as unemployment rate has held steady

0:43:36.817 --> 0:43:40.217
<v Speaker 1>at three point six, which is also near historic lows.

0:43:40.657 --> 0:43:45.017
<v Speaker 1>Business and investment remains strong, Household balance sheets remains strong.

0:43:45.617 --> 0:43:48.137
<v Speaker 1>There was an analysis that came out recently that showed

0:43:48.177 --> 0:43:51.937
<v Speaker 1>middle class Americans had an additional ten thousand dollars in

0:43:52.057 --> 0:44:03.177
<v Speaker 1>savings then before the pandemic. All right, not not good

0:44:03.257 --> 0:44:05.777
<v Speaker 1>talking points from the White House. Not a good narrative

0:44:06.657 --> 0:44:08.857
<v Speaker 1>as ever. Tonight's hold the line the no spinos of

0:44:08.857 --> 0:44:28.297
<v Speaker 1>Bill O'Reilly is next Bill Tie. Each morning, the President

0:44:28.337 --> 0:44:31.217
<v Speaker 1>of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on

0:44:31.257 --> 0:44:34.057
<v Speaker 1>the most important issues facing the country. It's called the

0:44:34.097 --> 0:44:38.217
<v Speaker 1>President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies

0:44:38.217 --> 0:44:41.057
<v Speaker 1>and analysts. Well, now you can hear your very own

0:44:41.137 --> 0:44:44.097
<v Speaker 1>PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by me

0:44:44.457 --> 0:44:48.377
<v Speaker 1>Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. Each morning

0:44:48.377 --> 0:44:50.977
<v Speaker 1>at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen to twenty

0:44:51.017 --> 0:44:53.857
<v Speaker 1>minutes of the most important issues facing the country, giving

0:44:53.897 --> 0:44:57.337
<v Speaker 1>you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to start

0:44:57.537 --> 0:44:58.137
<v Speaker 1>your morning,
