Looks like the state of 4 00:00:22,857 --> 00:00:25,977 Speaker 1: Florida has delivered a huge blow to the Disney Corporation today, 5 00:00:26,097 --> 00:00:30,177 Speaker 1: revoking a decades old rule that allows the company to 6 00:00:30,217 --> 00:00:33,577 Speaker 1: operate as an independent government around its theme park. Is 7 00:00:33,577 --> 00:00:36,657 Speaker 1: this the way forward for conservatives to actually fight fire 8 00:00:36,697 --> 00:00:45,777 Speaker 1: with fire, friends, It's time for all one. But I 9 00:00:45,817 --> 00:00:49,697 Speaker 1: am announcing today that we are expanding the call of 10 00:00:49,737 --> 00:00:52,297 Speaker 1: what they are going to be considering this week, and 11 00:00:52,337 --> 00:00:55,417 Speaker 1: so yes, they will be considering the congressional map, but 12 00:00:55,537 --> 00:01:00,097 Speaker 1: they also will be considering termination of all special districts 13 00:01:00,297 --> 00:01:03,497 Speaker 1: that were enacted in Florida prior to nineteen sixty eight, 14 00:01:03,657 --> 00:01:10,297 Speaker 1: and that includes the Red Creek Improvement District. Welcome hold 15 00:01:10,337 --> 00:01:13,217 Speaker 1: al on on, buck Sexton, don't mess with the scantists. 16 00:01:13,577 --> 00:01:17,057 Speaker 1: This is a guy who gets it. He understands that 17 00:01:17,097 --> 00:01:20,777 Speaker 1: we are in a conflict, a battle for the soul 18 00:01:20,937 --> 00:01:23,697 Speaker 1: and the future of this country, and the woke left 19 00:01:23,777 --> 00:01:25,657 Speaker 1: is trying to kick at the load bearing walls of 20 00:01:25,657 --> 00:01:28,777 Speaker 1: our civilization with all of its might. We can sit 21 00:01:28,857 --> 00:01:31,417 Speaker 1: around and say to ourselves, you know what, let's try 22 00:01:31,417 --> 00:01:34,217 Speaker 1: to create a neutral space. Let's not be too rough 23 00:01:34,257 --> 00:01:36,497 Speaker 1: with the other side. They may be angry about that, 24 00:01:36,617 --> 00:01:40,617 Speaker 1: or we can realize that corporations have been largely weaponized 25 00:01:40,657 --> 00:01:43,017 Speaker 1: by the left in the culture and let's just be 26 00:01:43,057 --> 00:01:45,817 Speaker 1: honest political wars in this country right now to try 27 00:01:45,857 --> 00:01:50,897 Speaker 1: to silence conservatism, traditional values, you name it. Corporations are 28 00:01:50,897 --> 00:01:53,577 Speaker 1: the shock troops of the woke left. The biggest, most 29 00:01:53,577 --> 00:01:57,377 Speaker 1: powerful and wealthy corporations in America in particular, and that 30 00:01:57,497 --> 00:02:03,697 Speaker 1: includes Disney, the great American purveyor of dreams and cartoons 31 00:02:03,737 --> 00:02:07,417 Speaker 1: and fairy tales that was then. Now Disney has executives 32 00:02:07,457 --> 00:02:09,257 Speaker 1: who want to make sure that children are exposed to 33 00:02:09,377 --> 00:02:14,217 Speaker 1: enough trans content and non binary characters who have pan 34 00:02:14,417 --> 00:02:18,377 Speaker 1: sexual identity and ideology. I don't even know what some 35 00:02:18,417 --> 00:02:19,977 Speaker 1: of this stuff means. I don't think anybody knows what 36 00:02:20,017 --> 00:02:21,777 Speaker 1: some of the stuff means, quite honestly, including the people 37 00:02:21,777 --> 00:02:24,137 Speaker 1: who used the words. But Disney has kind of lost 38 00:02:24,137 --> 00:02:27,697 Speaker 1: its mind. Here is the Wall Street Journal writing about 39 00:02:27,737 --> 00:02:30,177 Speaker 1: this special district that might just be going away when 40 00:02:30,217 --> 00:02:33,057 Speaker 1: it comes to Disney. It was created in nineteen sixty seven, 41 00:02:33,097 --> 00:02:36,257 Speaker 1: known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District. It exempts Disney 42 00:02:36,257 --> 00:02:38,857 Speaker 1: from a host of regulations in certain taxes and fees. 43 00:02:39,257 --> 00:02:42,857 Speaker 1: It saves Disney tens of millions of dollars a year, accord, 44 00:02:43,097 --> 00:02:45,337 Speaker 1: according to a person familiar with the company's finances who 45 00:02:45,337 --> 00:02:49,457 Speaker 1: studied the issue over a decade ago. So this is 46 00:02:49,497 --> 00:02:51,697 Speaker 1: a big deal for Disney. Now why is this happening 47 00:02:52,017 --> 00:02:56,297 Speaker 1: Because Disney decided to try to influence state politics very 48 00:02:56,337 --> 00:03:01,177 Speaker 1: aggressively and go against the legislature in the state of 49 00:03:01,217 --> 00:03:04,537 Speaker 1: Florida as it was passing a parental rights and education law. 50 00:03:05,057 --> 00:03:08,057 Speaker 1: So here's really the message that Governor ro On De 51 00:03:08,137 --> 00:03:12,537 Speaker 1: Santis is giving to the Disney Corporation. You don't like it, 52 00:03:12,577 --> 00:03:15,697 Speaker 1: build your own Florida. In fact, here's Florida State Representative 53 00:03:15,777 --> 00:03:18,817 Speaker 1: Randy Fine saying Disney is a guest, but gotta be 54 00:03:18,817 --> 00:03:21,737 Speaker 1: on your best behavior. What this is about is about 55 00:03:21,817 --> 00:03:25,577 Speaker 1: Disney not recognizing that they are a guest in our state. 56 00:03:25,617 --> 00:03:27,777 Speaker 1: They are a California company that is a guest in 57 00:03:27,817 --> 00:03:29,777 Speaker 1: the state of Florida, and they are a guest that 58 00:03:29,857 --> 00:03:33,057 Speaker 1: has had special privileges that no other company has had. 59 00:03:33,257 --> 00:03:35,817 Speaker 1: If you want special privileges, you'd better be on your 60 00:03:35,857 --> 00:03:38,857 Speaker 1: best behavior. And when you come in and misrepresent a 61 00:03:38,977 --> 00:03:45,257 Speaker 1: bill that overwhelming majorities of Republicans, Democrats, even Biden voters support, 62 00:03:45,577 --> 00:03:48,137 Speaker 1: you're going to have an issue in the state of Florida. 63 00:03:48,377 --> 00:03:51,337 Speaker 1: Gonna have an issue. The left does this all the time. 64 00:03:51,857 --> 00:03:56,257 Speaker 1: Companies will decide that if you have a bathroom policy 65 00:03:56,337 --> 00:03:58,657 Speaker 1: that says you have to use the gender that you 66 00:03:58,737 --> 00:04:03,337 Speaker 1: actually are for bathroom and changing room purposes, there are 67 00:04:03,337 --> 00:04:05,377 Speaker 1: companies that will say, will no longer do business, will 68 00:04:05,377 --> 00:04:08,857 Speaker 1: no longer film our movie in your state. That's the 69 00:04:08,897 --> 00:04:10,817 Speaker 1: way the left plays the game. On the right, we 70 00:04:10,817 --> 00:04:13,457 Speaker 1: sit around and say, oh, but it's capitalism. Let's just 71 00:04:13,537 --> 00:04:16,737 Speaker 1: let commerce be our guide. Not so easy. And what 72 00:04:16,857 --> 00:04:19,617 Speaker 1: you've seen here is a reversal. The left thought they 73 00:04:19,657 --> 00:04:21,537 Speaker 1: could go on offense, and they were going to take 74 00:04:21,577 --> 00:04:24,377 Speaker 1: down Florida, which has been the free state of Florida 75 00:04:24,497 --> 00:04:28,217 Speaker 1: in the pandemic, economically better off than all these lockdown 76 00:04:28,297 --> 00:04:31,657 Speaker 1: blue Lib states. They would go after Governor Ron De Santis, 77 00:04:31,657 --> 00:04:35,817 Speaker 1: who is increasingly the most prominent and effective Republican politician 78 00:04:35,977 --> 00:04:39,097 Speaker 1: in America. I think I'm not even sure anybody argues 79 00:04:39,137 --> 00:04:42,377 Speaker 1: he's not the most effective Republican in the country right now, 80 00:04:42,417 --> 00:04:45,537 Speaker 1: I'd be wondering who else would be even in the conversation. 81 00:04:45,617 --> 00:04:48,257 Speaker 1: Maybe Governor young Kin, but he's just getting started in Virginia. 82 00:04:48,337 --> 00:04:50,937 Speaker 1: We'll have to see. And this is all over the 83 00:04:51,017 --> 00:04:54,137 Speaker 1: Parental Rights Bill. Think about how aggressive the left was 84 00:04:54,177 --> 00:04:57,017 Speaker 1: with this. They renamed the bill, and that had all 85 00:04:57,217 --> 00:05:00,817 Speaker 1: the all of their toadies and cronies in the news media, 86 00:05:01,337 --> 00:05:06,177 Speaker 1: all of their supplicants in the corporate legacy media calling 87 00:05:06,177 --> 00:05:08,657 Speaker 1: it that don't say gay bill, when this was just 88 00:05:09,057 --> 00:05:11,777 Speaker 1: a made up term to describe a bill that in 89 00:05:11,817 --> 00:05:14,617 Speaker 1: no way says you can't say gay. That's absurd, right, 90 00:05:15,097 --> 00:05:18,217 Speaker 1: Even the White House still digging in on this one 91 00:05:18,497 --> 00:05:21,097 Speaker 1: and pretending that we can't actually read the bill, which 92 00:05:21,137 --> 00:05:22,897 Speaker 1: is now a law. By the way, here's Deputy White 93 00:05:22,897 --> 00:05:27,777 Speaker 1: House Press Secretary Karen Jean Pierre saying just that our 94 00:05:27,857 --> 00:05:32,377 Speaker 1: view this is that but don't say gay bill is 95 00:05:32,417 --> 00:05:34,977 Speaker 1: really crystal clear. It's wrong. That's our view. It is 96 00:05:35,017 --> 00:05:39,057 Speaker 1: just wrong. Okay, So what's wrong about it? Tell us 97 00:05:39,057 --> 00:05:44,097 Speaker 1: what's wrong? Explain Democrats to the American people. What part 98 00:05:44,497 --> 00:05:52,017 Speaker 1: of preventing state paid, state funded bureaucrats teachers from talking 99 00:05:52,057 --> 00:05:55,577 Speaker 1: to children, not forever. I'm not talking about eighth graders 100 00:05:55,577 --> 00:05:58,977 Speaker 1: and teenagers, and you know, people are going through hormonal changes, 101 00:05:58,977 --> 00:06:02,457 Speaker 1: and adolescens have a five year olds and six year olds. Kindergartens. 102 00:06:03,177 --> 00:06:06,897 Speaker 1: You gotta talk to kindergartens about gender identity. When people 103 00:06:06,937 --> 00:06:09,177 Speaker 1: find out that that's what the bill actually says, they go, well, yeah, 104 00:06:09,177 --> 00:06:12,737 Speaker 1: that's that seems normal, including Democrats, I might add, a 105 00:06:12,857 --> 00:06:16,657 Speaker 1: majority of Democrats in the state of Florida actually believe 106 00:06:16,697 --> 00:06:19,137 Speaker 1: that this builds a good idea. So why is it 107 00:06:19,257 --> 00:06:23,057 Speaker 1: so evil? What's so wrong about it? Well, here is Jensaki, 108 00:06:23,377 --> 00:06:28,457 Speaker 1: who is a woman of the left, explaining that teachers 109 00:06:28,537 --> 00:06:33,137 Speaker 1: should be inserting ideas about gender identity into the minds 110 00:06:33,137 --> 00:06:37,577 Speaker 1: of very very small children. Watch, don't parents have a 111 00:06:37,697 --> 00:06:40,737 Speaker 1: right to have concerned? I mean we're talking specifically here 112 00:06:41,097 --> 00:06:44,617 Speaker 1: about teaching about sex and kindergarten through third grade. I 113 00:06:44,657 --> 00:06:47,177 Speaker 1: have to say, as a parent, I would have problems 114 00:06:47,177 --> 00:06:51,017 Speaker 1: with that. But the laws not about teaching sex education. 115 00:06:51,257 --> 00:06:55,497 Speaker 1: It's about teaching about gender identity. And so what do 116 00:06:55,537 --> 00:06:58,137 Speaker 1: you do if a parent or a kid should I say, 117 00:06:58,137 --> 00:07:02,097 Speaker 1: a kid in one of these elementary schools says, what 118 00:07:02,257 --> 00:07:06,017 Speaker 1: about Sally? Sally has two moms or I'm not sure 119 00:07:06,057 --> 00:07:08,417 Speaker 1: if I'm a girl or a boy. I mean, these 120 00:07:08,457 --> 00:07:12,377 Speaker 1: are kids who are experiencing, you know, these moments in 121 00:07:12,417 --> 00:07:15,897 Speaker 1: their lives. I also think that these are not There 122 00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:18,897 Speaker 1: is not a big record of there being either sex 123 00:07:19,017 --> 00:07:23,337 Speaker 1: education or extensive gender identity education in these schools, and 124 00:07:23,417 --> 00:07:27,377 Speaker 1: this is creating a problem or a political cudgel about 125 00:07:27,377 --> 00:07:31,097 Speaker 1: an issue that I don't think exists. Isn't that fascinating? 126 00:07:31,097 --> 00:07:34,977 Speaker 1: You just saw the White House Press secretary tell anybody 127 00:07:34,977 --> 00:07:37,137 Speaker 1: who was watching, and that was on CNN plus plus. 128 00:07:37,137 --> 00:07:38,817 Speaker 1: By the way, I had too good job control of him. 129 00:07:38,857 --> 00:07:43,817 Speaker 1: I like that CNN plus plus plus that she's saying, 130 00:07:44,257 --> 00:07:48,777 Speaker 1: it's not about teaching sexual sexuality or anything like that, 131 00:07:49,057 --> 00:07:52,817 Speaker 1: it's about gender identity training. Oh okay, how many people 132 00:07:52,857 --> 00:07:56,097 Speaker 1: even knew what gender identity was until the last few years. 133 00:07:56,137 --> 00:07:58,257 Speaker 1: I'm talking about adults, people that have been around for 134 00:07:58,377 --> 00:08:01,657 Speaker 1: decades and decade. She actually wants that to happen. She 135 00:08:01,697 --> 00:08:03,177 Speaker 1: wants kids to learn this stuff, and then she says 136 00:08:03,217 --> 00:08:06,297 Speaker 1: it's not happened. Doesn't make any sense. We come back, 137 00:08:06,337 --> 00:08:08,977 Speaker 1: We'll have more on Governor n Descantis is scorched Earth 138 00:08:09,097 --> 00:08:12,217 Speaker 1: tactics and I mean that in a good way against 139 00:08:12,217 --> 00:08:14,137 Speaker 1: Disney with a host of I'm right with Jesse Kelly 140 00:08:14,177 --> 00:08:16,617 Speaker 1: here on the first TV jac Kelly, let's talk about 141 00:08:16,617 --> 00:08:19,057 Speaker 1: protecting your online data.

Read the next bill. Democrats, 163 00:09:29,817 --> 00:09:31,937 Speaker 1: they're throwing a temperate tantrum today on the floor of 164 00:09:31,977 --> 00:09:36,337 Speaker 1: the Florida House of Representatives as that legislative body voted 165 00:09:36,377 --> 00:09:41,337 Speaker 1: to revoke Disney's special governing status, with a bill now 166 00:09:41,417 --> 00:09:45,017 Speaker 1: headed to wrong de Santis's desk for his signature. Some 167 00:09:45,337 --> 00:09:47,697 Speaker 1: are concerned that the Florida governor might be going too 168 00:09:47,737 --> 00:09:50,897 Speaker 1: far and fear that the bill conflicts with a pro 169 00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:55,977 Speaker 1: business stance that conservatives usually favor. My next guest disagrees 170 00:09:56,137 --> 00:09:58,977 Speaker 1: is one thing that weak Sauce around here joining me now, 171 00:09:59,017 --> 00:10:01,417 Speaker 1: the host of I'm Right with Jesse Kelly here on 172 00:10:01,457 --> 00:10:04,057 Speaker 1: the first TV and of course syndicated radio host nationally. 173 00:10:04,457 --> 00:10:08,377 Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, what's up, Jesse. I don't like the loser 174 00:10:08,417 --> 00:10:11,097 Speaker 1: mentality buff That's what's up. I'm not talking about you, 175 00:10:11,137 --> 00:10:14,457 Speaker 1: but what I've said about this. You and I've talked 176 00:10:14,497 --> 00:10:18,777 Speaker 1: about this privately before on the right. Government has only 177 00:10:18,817 --> 00:10:20,937 Speaker 1: grown for the last hundred years. So we've never had 178 00:10:20,937 --> 00:10:23,297 Speaker 1: a win. And people think we have, you know, because 179 00:10:23,297 --> 00:10:25,537 Speaker 1: while we had Trump, or we had Braggin or something 180 00:10:25,577 --> 00:10:28,337 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, we've had some election wins. But if 181 00:10:28,337 --> 00:10:31,377 Speaker 1: you believe in limited government and all that, like we do, 182 00:10:31,777 --> 00:10:34,337 Speaker 1: you've never had a win in your life. What you've had. 183 00:10:34,457 --> 00:10:37,337 Speaker 1: What you think conservatism is, if that's the word we 184 00:10:37,577 --> 00:10:40,217 Speaker 1: still want to use for it, is complaining when they win. 185 00:10:40,657 --> 00:10:44,857 Speaker 1: That's not what we do. That's a hypocritical they're liars. 186 00:10:44,897 --> 00:10:48,777 Speaker 1: That's wrong. We think that's conservatism, is complaining when they win. 187 00:10:49,097 --> 00:10:52,417 Speaker 1: We don't even understand what winning is. If a corporation 188 00:10:52,577 --> 00:10:56,497 Speaker 1: declares war on your values. We have the biggest children's 189 00:10:56,577 --> 00:10:59,097 Speaker 1: corporation in the world. You could probably say in the 190 00:10:59,097 --> 00:11:02,257 Speaker 1: Whirlwind Disney. If they have decided they are going to 191 00:11:02,457 --> 00:11:08,177 Speaker 1: purposely pervert in groom children, they've declared war on your values. 192 00:11:08,337 --> 00:11:13,377 Speaker 1: If they've declared war, make war. Yes, what we're doing 193 00:11:13,537 --> 00:11:17,217 Speaker 1: is right, make them feel pain, make them fear you. 194 00:11:17,337 --> 00:11:19,897 Speaker 1: And we have these We have so many losers on 195 00:11:19,937 --> 00:11:22,657 Speaker 1: our side, and I honestly I sympathize with them who 196 00:11:22,777 --> 00:11:26,417 Speaker 1: just believe that the second you encroach, the second you 197 00:11:26,537 --> 00:11:29,097 Speaker 1: make them feel any pain at all, it's we've gone 198 00:11:29,137 --> 00:11:32,177 Speaker 1: too far. This isn't doing it the right way. We're 199 00:11:32,417 --> 00:11:34,177 Speaker 1: in a war for the future of the country. To 200 00:11:34,497 --> 00:11:37,497 Speaker 1: make war interesting that you use that term war, because 201 00:11:37,657 --> 00:11:40,857 Speaker 1: you're not the only one the chief Commissar of a 202 00:11:40,937 --> 00:11:46,217 Speaker 1: teacher's unions, the AFT Randy Weingarden chief Commissar should be 203 00:11:46,217 --> 00:11:49,057 Speaker 1: her official title. This is what she says about the 204 00:11:49,057 --> 00:11:52,937 Speaker 1: preental rights bill in Florida. Watch this same it. It's 205 00:11:52,977 --> 00:11:57,537 Speaker 1: this notion. And look where you know, we've been very 206 00:11:57,657 --> 00:12:00,097 Speaker 1: lucky in America, and we in some ways live in 207 00:12:00,097 --> 00:12:04,657 Speaker 1: a bubble for a long time. This is propaganda, This 208 00:12:04,737 --> 00:12:09,937 Speaker 1: is misinformation. This is the way in which war star, 209 00:12:10,337 --> 00:12:14,137 Speaker 1: This is the way in which hatred starts. This is 210 00:12:14,137 --> 00:12:17,257 Speaker 1: the way in which wars starts. She says, talking about 211 00:12:17,297 --> 00:12:22,417 Speaker 1: a parental rights bill that explicitly prevents five year olds 212 00:12:22,457 --> 00:12:24,657 Speaker 1: from being told, Oh, you think you're a boy, No, 213 00:12:24,737 --> 00:12:29,217 Speaker 1: you're actually a girl. Let's get you on some hormone therapy. Look, 214 00:12:29,737 --> 00:12:32,457 Speaker 1: it's been the greatest benefit for them. Buck. This is 215 00:12:32,497 --> 00:12:34,537 Speaker 1: something I know you talk about on your shows all 216 00:12:34,577 --> 00:12:38,097 Speaker 1: the time. The biggest win for the communists in this country. 217 00:12:38,297 --> 00:12:41,937 Speaker 1: It actually isn't even corporate America. It isn't Hollywood, it 218 00:12:42,057 --> 00:12:44,497 Speaker 1: isn't sports or whatever else you're mad they took over. 219 00:12:44,817 --> 00:12:48,217 Speaker 1: The biggest thing for them has been to educate the children. 220 00:12:48,537 --> 00:12:51,657 Speaker 1: They have taken children from well meaning parents for seven 221 00:12:51,777 --> 00:12:53,977 Speaker 1: eight hours a day, and they've done this for decades, 222 00:12:54,297 --> 00:12:57,217 Speaker 1: and they've taught these children to hate themselves, hate their parents, 223 00:12:57,217 --> 00:13:00,137 Speaker 1: hate their country. Now they've flat out moved that into 224 00:13:00,177 --> 00:13:04,177 Speaker 1: a really even more disgusting sexual realm. That is their 225 00:13:04,217 --> 00:13:07,257 Speaker 1: bread and butter. They're not trying, by the way, to 226 00:13:07,417 --> 00:13:11,217 Speaker 1: make your kids gay. They're trying to destroy your kids 227 00:13:11,257 --> 00:13:14,697 Speaker 1: mentally and physically, so your kids will hate you and 228 00:13:14,777 --> 00:13:17,617 Speaker 1: hate your country. Because a broken person is easy to 229 00:13:17,657 --> 00:13:20,977 Speaker 1: convert to communism. That is the goal they're trying to 230 00:13:21,017 --> 00:13:24,137 Speaker 1: break things. Because look, if you get some ten year 231 00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:26,497 Speaker 1: old boy who chops his penis off, it gets a 232 00:13:26,497 --> 00:13:29,657 Speaker 1: bunch of puberty blockers. What are the chances that boy, 233 00:13:29,777 --> 00:13:32,257 Speaker 1: if he even lives to eighteen or nineteen, becomes a 234 00:13:32,377 --> 00:13:35,697 Speaker 1: voting card carrying Democrat his whole life. They're about one hundred. 235 00:13:36,337 --> 00:13:38,617 Speaker 1: But if you have a child who's been top manners 236 00:13:38,657 --> 00:13:41,777 Speaker 1: who doesn't believe and that loves his country again not political, 237 00:13:41,977 --> 00:13:44,617 Speaker 1: loves this country, says yes, sir, no, ma'am, good kid. 238 00:13:44,857 --> 00:13:46,657 Speaker 1: What are the chances that child's going to be the 239 00:13:46,697 --> 00:13:50,177 Speaker 1: political enemy of the Democratic Party, They're very, very high. 240 00:13:50,217 --> 00:13:53,257 Speaker 1: They're simply recruiting new people in schools have been their 241 00:13:53,297 --> 00:13:56,257 Speaker 1: bread and butter, and threatening to take that away from 242 00:13:56,297 --> 00:13:59,097 Speaker 1: them is a huge threat to them. On this topic 243 00:13:59,377 --> 00:14:02,817 Speaker 1: of winning and actually pushing the advantage when the right 244 00:14:03,097 --> 00:14:05,457 Speaker 1: all of a sudden actually has one or has done 245 00:14:05,497 --> 00:14:08,057 Speaker 1: this a few times. Recently has been a rough week, 246 00:14:08,497 --> 00:14:11,137 Speaker 1: rough month. You could argue a rough year for Biden 247 00:14:11,217 --> 00:14:14,137 Speaker 1: the Democrats. I think that much is clear. But the 248 00:14:14,257 --> 00:14:16,097 Speaker 1: term that you know right at the heart of this 249 00:14:16,097 --> 00:14:20,337 Speaker 1: whole Disney situation. And I still what was amazing to 250 00:14:20,377 --> 00:14:23,377 Speaker 1: me was remember where that that corporate executive referred to 251 00:14:23,417 --> 00:14:25,777 Speaker 1: one of her children as pan sexual, And I remember 252 00:14:25,777 --> 00:14:27,857 Speaker 1: I made some comment like I don't even know what 253 00:14:27,977 --> 00:14:31,537 Speaker 1: pan sexual means, and all these blue check journals jump 254 00:14:31,577 --> 00:14:33,577 Speaker 1: in like, maybe you shouldn't be such an idiot. I'm like, no, 255 00:14:33,737 --> 00:14:37,217 Speaker 1: maybe people shouldn't be lunatics. How about that? I mean, 256 00:14:37,577 --> 00:14:41,337 Speaker 1: we are seeing the left exposed in a way that 257 00:14:41,497 --> 00:14:44,257 Speaker 1: I think is almost surprising to some Democrats who don't 258 00:14:44,257 --> 00:14:46,617 Speaker 1: really know who's calling the shots and who's really running 259 00:14:46,857 --> 00:14:48,857 Speaker 1: the behind the scenes of the party, where the real 260 00:14:48,937 --> 00:14:51,097 Speaker 1: power centers are, you know, people that have been voting 261 00:14:51,097 --> 00:14:53,337 Speaker 1: Democrat because they're like unions for the last forty years 262 00:14:53,417 --> 00:14:58,697 Speaker 1: or whatever. But Jesse, the term groomer really upsets them. 263 00:14:59,097 --> 00:15:02,137 Speaker 1: And I think that's interesting. What you know, when they 264 00:15:02,177 --> 00:15:04,377 Speaker 1: call when they call conservatives, they call you, call me, 265 00:15:04,457 --> 00:15:07,737 Speaker 1: call anybody a racist for example. If that doesn't bother 266 00:15:07,857 --> 00:15:11,017 Speaker 1: me at all, insofar as it's just anderis and a lie. 267 00:15:11,377 --> 00:15:13,377 Speaker 1: It's annoying that they do it, but it doesn't really 268 00:15:13,497 --> 00:15:15,097 Speaker 1: you know, you don't get a real right when you 269 00:15:15,177 --> 00:15:17,497 Speaker 1: call some of these people on the left groomers, or 270 00:15:17,577 --> 00:15:21,817 Speaker 1: rather say that their policies go toward grooming, they get 271 00:15:22,057 --> 00:15:25,097 Speaker 1: really upset. And I wonder why you think that is 272 00:15:26,857 --> 00:15:30,497 Speaker 1: because it's effective, because it's true, and because it's effective. 273 00:15:30,617 --> 00:15:33,057 Speaker 1: And what's wild about this bug is it's not just 274 00:15:33,217 --> 00:15:35,537 Speaker 1: you and me a couple of right wingers Gavin on 275 00:15:35,617 --> 00:15:39,137 Speaker 1: your show about this, it's them in their own words. 276 00:15:39,217 --> 00:15:42,257 Speaker 1: Of course, libs of TikTok. That Twitter account's been famous 277 00:15:42,257 --> 00:15:45,617 Speaker 1: it's been all over the news lately. But Libs of TikTok, 278 00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:50,737 Speaker 1: that account doesn't do right wing commentary. That account takes 279 00:15:50,817 --> 00:15:53,737 Speaker 1: a video that a crazy teacher with pink here at 280 00:15:53,817 --> 00:15:58,257 Speaker 1: eight thousand piecings in their face, put on video, put 281 00:15:58,257 --> 00:16:01,217 Speaker 1: it out there for public consumption, and Libs of TikTok 282 00:16:01,337 --> 00:16:04,617 Speaker 1: simply takes it and puts it on Twitter. This is 283 00:16:04,657 --> 00:16:07,137 Speaker 1: what this teacher said. This is what this teacher said, 284 00:16:07,177 --> 00:16:11,177 Speaker 1: This is what this teacher said. These people, they thrive 285 00:16:11,377 --> 00:16:13,417 Speaker 1: in the darkness, and this is actually a great news. 286 00:16:13,497 --> 00:16:15,337 Speaker 1: This is one of the things they really screwed up. 287 00:16:15,497 --> 00:16:18,297 Speaker 1: They loved COVID, and they used COVID to destroy the 288 00:16:18,337 --> 00:16:20,097 Speaker 1: economy like they want to do, and they used it 289 00:16:20,137 --> 00:16:22,577 Speaker 1: to get Donald Trump out of office. But they did 290 00:16:22,577 --> 00:16:25,217 Speaker 1: not think about the fact that COVID and the school 291 00:16:25,257 --> 00:16:29,577 Speaker 1: closures brought school home for parents. Parents still thought kids 292 00:16:29,617 --> 00:16:33,337 Speaker 1: were learning reading, writing, and arithmetic in schools, when really 293 00:16:33,377 --> 00:16:37,297 Speaker 1: they were learning some really disgusting things. And the communists 294 00:16:37,337 --> 00:16:40,057 Speaker 1: did not see that coming parents. This has been a 295 00:16:40,057 --> 00:16:43,057 Speaker 1: shock for them. You don't have to call them anything 296 00:16:43,177 --> 00:16:47,217 Speaker 1: specific except for what they are. We're not calling them groomers. 297 00:16:47,537 --> 00:16:51,497 Speaker 1: They are groomers. If you're a kindergarten teacher and you're 298 00:16:51,577 --> 00:16:54,137 Speaker 1: upset that you can't tell a little boy that he 299 00:16:54,137 --> 00:16:57,817 Speaker 1: can become a little girl, you are a groomer. That's 300 00:16:57,817 --> 00:17:01,657 Speaker 1: what you are. Yes, It's interesting that the teachers unions, 301 00:17:01,697 --> 00:17:04,937 Speaker 1: as I say, the education commissars, were so excited at 302 00:17:04,977 --> 00:17:09,377 Speaker 1: the prospect of getting paid to have their members stay 303 00:17:09,417 --> 00:17:12,257 Speaker 1: home and do their jobs and abandoned children for months 304 00:17:12,257 --> 00:17:15,057 Speaker 1: on end. They didn't think through the second order of this, 305 00:17:15,177 --> 00:17:17,497 Speaker 1: the second step of this, which was going to be Oh, 306 00:17:17,577 --> 00:17:19,417 Speaker 1: but now parents will be home and they'll hear the 307 00:17:19,497 --> 00:17:22,257 Speaker 1: kind of indoctrination that your children will be subjected to. 308 00:17:22,537 --> 00:17:24,777 Speaker 1: If Republicans don't make this a huge issue going in 309 00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:26,777 Speaker 1: the mid terms, we honestly we don't even deserve to win. 310 00:17:26,817 --> 00:17:29,097 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's where we are. If we 311 00:17:29,137 --> 00:17:33,137 Speaker 1: aren't willing to push on what is clearly a major 312 00:17:33,217 --> 00:17:37,017 Speaker 1: week spot on the left. What's the point, Jesse. Not 313 00:17:37,057 --> 00:17:39,657 Speaker 1: only all your one hundred percent right bucket is the issue. 314 00:17:39,657 --> 00:17:42,377 Speaker 1: There shouldn't be a Florida thing. There should be every 315 00:17:42,457 --> 00:17:45,977 Speaker 1: race in all fifty states that Senate, Congress, all the 316 00:17:46,017 --> 00:17:48,737 Speaker 1: way down to school board. Every Republican in the country. 317 00:17:48,777 --> 00:17:51,017 Speaker 1: If they're smart and you're happy to be morally right. 318 00:17:51,497 --> 00:17:54,097 Speaker 1: If they're smart, they'll be running on this issue. Even 319 00:17:54,257 --> 00:17:57,337 Speaker 1: Democrat parents, we have all the poll numbers. Even Democrat 320 00:17:57,377 --> 00:18:01,697 Speaker 1: parents do not want their kids getting sexually indoctrinated in kindergarten. 321 00:18:01,777 --> 00:18:04,337 Speaker 1: They do not. This is the biggest winner of an 322 00:18:04,377 --> 00:18:08,617 Speaker 1: issue in the world. And the Communists are so stupid 323 00:18:08,777 --> 00:18:12,937 Speaker 1: and so insane. They're pushing back hard and wading into it. 324 00:18:12,977 --> 00:18:14,977 Speaker 1: They should be shutting up about this and trying to 325 00:18:15,017 --> 00:18:18,137 Speaker 1: move away. They can't stop talking about it. Jen Saki's 326 00:18:18,457 --> 00:18:20,857 Speaker 1: still running her fat mouth on the news every single 327 00:18:20,937 --> 00:18:23,497 Speaker 1: day about how sad it is that we can't tell 328 00:18:23,577 --> 00:18:26,137 Speaker 1: little girls they can become little boys. This is wonderful. 329 00:18:26,177 --> 00:18:28,417 Speaker 1: It's a winner that gift wrapped for us. Take it. 330 00:18:28,937 --> 00:18:31,737 Speaker 1: Speaking of Florida, Jesse, real quick, what's is this like 331 00:18:31,777 --> 00:18:35,657 Speaker 1: a Miami Weiss homage we got going on here?

Are you 334 00:18:41,177 --> 00:18:43,537 Speaker 1: living on a houseboat and driving around in a ferrari? 335 00:18:43,657 --> 00:18:46,817 Speaker 1: What is okay? Okay, full disclosure. I have I have 336 00:18:46,857 --> 00:18:51,617 Speaker 1: to explain I was actually doing some radio work, and 337 00:18:52,537 --> 00:18:54,537 Speaker 1: I had forgotten. I was in the middle of something, 338 00:18:54,537 --> 00:18:56,617 Speaker 1: and I had forgotten I was doing your show. And 339 00:18:56,657 --> 00:18:58,857 Speaker 1: I looked at my photo and I thought, oh jeez, 340 00:18:58,857 --> 00:19:01,297 Speaker 1: I gotta do Buck now. And I didn't. I just 341 00:19:01,417 --> 00:19:03,777 Speaker 1: ran and grabbed the sport coded I knew as soon 342 00:19:03,817 --> 00:19:05,537 Speaker 1: as I sat down. I looked, and I thought, oh, 343 00:19:05,577 --> 00:19:07,897 Speaker 1: Buck's gonna say something. He's gonna say. And of course 344 00:19:07,937 --> 00:19:11,297 Speaker 1: you did. All right, Just go, just go lock up 345 00:19:11,297 --> 00:19:14,617 Speaker 1: the bad guys. Thanks for having us, Jesse. There we go. 346 00:19:18,897 --> 00:19:21,817 Speaker 1: Just weeks after it's launched, folks, CNN's parent company has 347 00:19:21,817 --> 00:19:25,337 Speaker 1: announced that the news network's long hyped streaming service, CNN Plus, 348 00:19:25,417 --> 00:19:27,937 Speaker 1: is going bye. By what a shame. We'll have more 349 00:19:28,017 --> 00:19:30,617 Speaker 1: on that with the editor of the Fourth Watch newsletter 350 00:19:30,617 --> 00:19:34,497 Speaker 1: and podcast, Steve Krackaur.

They have a variety of suppressor starting at 359 00:19:54,737 --> 00:19:56,937 Speaker 1: just three hundred and sixty five dollars. My friends at 360 00:19:56,937 --> 00:19:59,537 Speaker 1: silencer Shop are the industry leaders for suppressors.

We'll be right 369 00:20:23,937 --> 00:20:32,817 Speaker 1: back with more. Hold the line. It's a bad day 370 00:20:32,857 --> 00:20:37,417 Speaker 1: for streaming services today. Warner Brothers Discovery announced that CNN 371 00:20:37,457 --> 00:20:41,177 Speaker 1: Plus to recall it. CNN, the streaming service that was 372 00:20:41,217 --> 00:20:43,057 Speaker 1: hyped is one of the most significant developments in the 373 00:20:43,097 --> 00:20:46,737 Speaker 1: history of CNN, will shut down on April thirtieth, just 374 00:20:46,977 --> 00:20:50,977 Speaker 1: one month after it launched. Meanwhile, earlier this week, Netflix 375 00:20:51,057 --> 00:20:53,697 Speaker 1: announced that it suffered its first subscriber loss in more 376 00:20:53,697 --> 00:20:56,177 Speaker 1: than a decade in the first quarter of twenty twenty one, 377 00:20:56,217 --> 00:20:59,497 Speaker 1: with a net loss of two hundred thousand subscribers globally. 378 00:20:59,777 --> 00:21:02,457 Speaker 1: The news spooked investors, causing IT shares to plunge more 379 00:21:02,497 --> 00:21:06,297 Speaker 1: than twenty five percent in extended trading. What's going on here? 380 00:21:06,777 --> 00:21:11,257 Speaker 1: Netflix is projected to lose two million subscribe and CNN 381 00:21:11,297 --> 00:21:14,777 Speaker 1: Plus was canceled before it even got started. Correlation between 382 00:21:14,777 --> 00:21:17,137 Speaker 1: companies going woke then broke can't be ignored. Ken it 383 00:21:17,657 --> 00:21:19,857 Speaker 1: for people finally starting to see the left in big 384 00:21:19,897 --> 00:21:22,577 Speaker 1: text secret agenda? And is that costing the bottom line? 385 00:21:22,737 --> 00:21:26,657 Speaker 1: Let's ask editor of Fourth Watch newsletter and podcast, mister 386 00:21:26,657 --> 00:21:29,777 Speaker 1: Steve krak Our crack. Good to see it, hey bug, 387 00:21:29,857 --> 00:21:31,857 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. What do you think, man? 388 00:21:31,937 --> 00:21:34,097 Speaker 1: What the heck is this? I mean, CNN spent over 389 00:21:34,217 --> 00:21:37,297 Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars preparing for the launch of CNN Plus. 390 00:21:38,617 --> 00:21:42,977 Speaker 1: Is this the biggest news media launch failure in history? 391 00:21:42,977 --> 00:21:44,777 Speaker 1: I mean, there are some other things that would maybe 392 00:21:44,777 --> 00:21:46,337 Speaker 1: be in the running, but I can't think of any 393 00:21:46,377 --> 00:21:49,137 Speaker 1: bigger can you? No? I think that this is this 394 00:21:49,217 --> 00:21:51,577 Speaker 1: is certainly up there. We are on day twenty three 395 00:21:51,617 --> 00:21:54,297 Speaker 1: of CNN Plus and it will shut down on day 396 00:21:54,417 --> 00:21:57,537 Speaker 1: thirty two. I mean it calls to mind Quibby, which 397 00:21:57,617 --> 00:22:02,977 Speaker 1: was that mobile video app that they spend even more money. 398 00:22:03,017 --> 00:22:05,417 Speaker 1: I believe it was seven hundred and fifty million on content, 399 00:22:05,737 --> 00:22:08,417 Speaker 1: but that at least lasted like six months. Nine months. No, 400 00:22:08,897 --> 00:22:11,857 Speaker 1: this is sing how fast it came down. But the 401 00:22:11,897 --> 00:22:13,577 Speaker 1: truth of the matter is, first of all, we could 402 00:22:13,617 --> 00:22:15,977 Speaker 1: talk about the content that was on there and why 403 00:22:16,057 --> 00:22:18,417 Speaker 1: it maybe wasn't so killing to a lot of people, 404 00:22:18,497 --> 00:22:21,857 Speaker 1: considering it was essentially the content that was on CNN 405 00:22:21,977 --> 00:22:24,617 Speaker 1: that people were already not very interested in for free, 406 00:22:24,617 --> 00:22:26,977 Speaker 1: and now they're charging an up charge of three to 407 00:22:27,097 --> 00:22:30,257 Speaker 1: five dollars for it. But also this launched it just 408 00:22:30,417 --> 00:22:34,097 Speaker 1: as Discovery now Warner Brothers Discovery took over the company. 409 00:22:34,177 --> 00:22:36,577 Speaker 1: This was a pet project of Jeff Zucker and the 410 00:22:36,617 --> 00:22:39,697 Speaker 1: old administration. They launched this thing, and now they're trying 411 00:22:39,697 --> 00:22:41,857 Speaker 1: to sustain it. The new company comes in and said, 412 00:22:41,897 --> 00:22:43,817 Speaker 1: this has none of our fingerprints on it. We didn't 413 00:22:43,817 --> 00:22:45,617 Speaker 1: want this thing to launch in the first place. And 414 00:22:45,617 --> 00:22:47,777 Speaker 1: then rather than just seeing this through for a few months, 415 00:22:47,777 --> 00:22:51,257 Speaker 1: they said, let's cut the cord. This is done. Pretty shocking, 416 00:22:51,297 --> 00:22:53,417 Speaker 1: but also you know, this is this is how business 417 00:22:53,457 --> 00:22:55,977 Speaker 1: gets done these days, so so I think there's districts. 418 00:22:56,097 --> 00:22:57,577 Speaker 1: I was talking to this on radio to day with 419 00:22:57,617 --> 00:23:00,217 Speaker 1: my COHS Clay, and I said, it seems to me 420 00:23:00,377 --> 00:23:04,817 Speaker 1: like this is actually a Jeff Zucker project, right, I mean, 421 00:23:04,857 --> 00:23:07,697 Speaker 1: this whole CNN plus had to be put together because 422 00:23:07,737 --> 00:23:10,657 Speaker 1: he just left a couple of months ago, so he 423 00:23:10,777 --> 00:23:13,177 Speaker 1: must have been the one. I mean, so so really 424 00:23:13,177 --> 00:23:15,537 Speaker 1: this is a It's almost like Zucker was the guy, 425 00:23:15,817 --> 00:23:19,697 Speaker 1: you know, driving the Titanic and he happened to switch 426 00:23:19,737 --> 00:23:24,057 Speaker 1: places with somebody else before it hit the iceberg, right exactly. Look, 427 00:23:24,097 --> 00:23:25,657 Speaker 1: this has been in the works for more than a 428 00:23:25,737 --> 00:23:28,777 Speaker 1: year now. They've been hiring up people building this thing, 429 00:23:28,817 --> 00:23:32,737 Speaker 1: building the technology, getting some marque names depending on how 430 00:23:32,737 --> 00:23:34,817 Speaker 1: you want to look at it, but certainly spending marquee 431 00:23:34,817 --> 00:23:37,977 Speaker 1: dollars to get talent from Box News and from and 432 00:23:38,017 --> 00:23:42,377 Speaker 1: from MSNBC and from NPR and from all other places. 433 00:23:42,697 --> 00:23:44,777 Speaker 1: They finally brought them in and this thing was set 434 00:23:44,777 --> 00:23:47,977 Speaker 1: to launch in March, and Jeff gets fired, essentially gets 435 00:23:47,977 --> 00:23:50,857 Speaker 1: pushed out in February. But rather than pump the brakes 436 00:23:50,857 --> 00:23:53,697 Speaker 1: at this point and started to think all right, maybe 437 00:23:53,697 --> 00:23:56,777 Speaker 1: this we need to why why we launched this without 438 00:23:56,857 --> 00:23:59,297 Speaker 1: having it everything kind of the clear leadership team in place. 439 00:23:59,337 --> 00:24:01,857 Speaker 1: They just rolled on ahead, put this thing out there. 440 00:24:01,897 --> 00:24:05,217 Speaker 1: And as we know, about one hundred fifty thousand subscribers 441 00:24:05,297 --> 00:24:09,097 Speaker 1: right now, approximately ten thousand people watching every day. Those 442 00:24:09,217 --> 00:24:12,457 Speaker 1: numbers are not very good. And yes, for only three 443 00:24:12,457 --> 00:24:15,377 Speaker 1: weeks in, but that is not a good launch, particularly 444 00:24:15,417 --> 00:24:17,777 Speaker 1: when you think about how much money they've they've invested 445 00:24:17,857 --> 00:24:21,017 Speaker 1: into this, and how much time and energy and marketing 446 00:24:21,017 --> 00:24:23,257 Speaker 1: they put into this. It's not off to a good start. 447 00:24:23,297 --> 00:24:25,577 Speaker 1: You would think that maybe they have a longer leash 448 00:24:25,697 --> 00:24:28,057 Speaker 1: with the new bosses, say, look at cutter losses now 449 00:24:28,217 --> 00:24:32,577 Speaker 1: it's done. Certainly a lot of schadenfreude on the right 450 00:24:32,617 --> 00:24:34,577 Speaker 1: about this. Let's be honest, we're having a good time 451 00:24:34,617 --> 00:24:38,497 Speaker 1: with it. There's a lot of memes, mister Krakauer that 452 00:24:38,657 --> 00:24:41,457 Speaker 1: go around today that are having some fun at CNN's expense. 453 00:24:41,497 --> 00:24:46,777 Speaker 1: People sharing some memorable moments from CNN pass to give 454 00:24:46,777 --> 00:24:50,377 Speaker 1: a sense as to why did Americans apparently not want 455 00:24:50,377 --> 00:24:53,057 Speaker 1: to pay for hard hitting interviews like this one with 456 00:24:53,257 --> 00:24:56,217 Speaker 1: Bryan Stelter. So fourt to two years later, did the 457 00:24:56,257 --> 00:25:02,257 Speaker 1: two of you now happily retired, Do you still watch CNN? Everybody? Yeah, 458 00:25:02,697 --> 00:25:06,017 Speaker 1: here's the difference though. Here's a difference though. I used 459 00:25:06,017 --> 00:25:10,817 Speaker 1: to anchor at CNN and now why just yellow at CNA. Yeah, 460 00:25:10,937 --> 00:25:14,297 Speaker 1: everybody does that too, Right, you can just email me, Dave, 461 00:25:14,337 --> 00:25:16,777 Speaker 1: that would be great feedback. We'll take your feedback anytime. 462 00:25:17,817 --> 00:25:20,257 Speaker 1: I mean, the team here just pull that one. We 463 00:25:20,257 --> 00:25:22,217 Speaker 1: could have a lot more fun with CNN stuff they've 464 00:25:22,217 --> 00:25:25,617 Speaker 1: said on the air. But what what was the premise here? Was? 465 00:25:25,657 --> 00:25:29,177 Speaker 1: What that a channel that struggles and has maybe a 466 00:25:29,337 --> 00:25:32,177 Speaker 1: third in the prime in primetime hours, a third the 467 00:25:32,257 --> 00:25:35,257 Speaker 1: viewership of say Fox News. It's it's competitor obviously from 468 00:25:35,257 --> 00:25:37,937 Speaker 1: the other side of the aisle, is going to become 469 00:25:37,977 --> 00:25:41,937 Speaker 1: a digital b myth? Why, like, what was the thinking here? 470 00:25:41,977 --> 00:25:44,137 Speaker 1: Just so everyone understands, I mean, because CNN is the 471 00:25:44,337 --> 00:25:46,017 Speaker 1: is the airport channel, right, It's the thing that like, 472 00:25:46,097 --> 00:25:48,057 Speaker 1: it's on shelf and so that's what you have to buy. 473 00:25:48,097 --> 00:25:50,337 Speaker 1: It's it's the moldy bread that's all you've got in 474 00:25:50,337 --> 00:25:53,097 Speaker 1: the store when you're stuck in an airport that's snowed in. 475 00:25:53,577 --> 00:25:57,417 Speaker 1: So what was the idea here? Yeah, and the glass 476 00:25:57,417 --> 00:25:59,657 Speaker 1: half full version that would be that when new major 477 00:25:59,737 --> 00:26:03,097 Speaker 1: news breaks a war in Ukraine, people turn on CNN 478 00:26:03,177 --> 00:26:05,417 Speaker 1: on the day to day basis. They don't have any 479 00:26:05,417 --> 00:26:08,537 Speaker 1: talent that moves the needle. What was the thing behind it? 480 00:26:08,617 --> 00:26:10,337 Speaker 1: I have no idea, But let me tell you there's 481 00:26:10,377 --> 00:26:13,737 Speaker 1: three major problems, and Brian Stelter, right there is very 482 00:26:13,817 --> 00:26:16,697 Speaker 1: much exemplifies one of them. Brian has a show on 483 00:26:16,737 --> 00:26:19,297 Speaker 1: Sunday that not that many people watch. Now he has 484 00:26:19,297 --> 00:26:21,417 Speaker 1: a show on CNN Plus every day of the week. 485 00:26:21,737 --> 00:26:23,497 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper has a show every day of the week, 486 00:26:23,897 --> 00:26:26,417 Speaker 1: and it's about the news. Now we show on CNN 487 00:26:26,417 --> 00:26:28,497 Speaker 1: Plus called Jake Tapper's Book Club, so you can hear 488 00:26:28,537 --> 00:26:30,857 Speaker 1: about the books that Jake Tapper brees. Anderson Cooper has 489 00:26:30,857 --> 00:26:32,897 Speaker 1: a news show on CNN. He has a show about 490 00:26:32,937 --> 00:26:37,337 Speaker 1: parenting on CNN Plus. Why who thinks that people need this? 491 00:26:37,417 --> 00:26:40,617 Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea. Another major red flag is that, look, 492 00:26:40,697 --> 00:26:45,417 Speaker 1: CNN does have content that's discovery, like Stanley Tucci Show, 493 00:26:45,457 --> 00:26:47,817 Speaker 1: but none of these shows have hit the way that 494 00:26:47,857 --> 00:26:50,537 Speaker 1: like Anthony Bourdein's show has. And I mentioned Anthony Bourdein 495 00:26:50,817 --> 00:26:53,137 Speaker 1: because Stanley he died three or four years ago. But 496 00:26:53,297 --> 00:26:55,897 Speaker 1: he was a major part of the CNN plus marketing. 497 00:26:56,017 --> 00:26:58,377 Speaker 1: Just the last couple of months. They don't have the 498 00:26:58,457 --> 00:27:00,017 Speaker 1: kind of hits that they used to have when it 499 00:27:00,057 --> 00:27:02,417 Speaker 1: comes to these news is shows. So instead, yes, you 500 00:27:02,417 --> 00:27:04,577 Speaker 1: can go and get the Anthony Bourdaine archives, but he 501 00:27:04,737 --> 00:27:08,177 Speaker 1: is sadley passed away four years ago now, so that 502 00:27:08,857 --> 00:27:10,897 Speaker 1: I agree that he he Steve would have been the 503 00:27:10,897 --> 00:27:13,417 Speaker 1: closest thing that they had to a tent pole, a 504 00:27:13,497 --> 00:27:15,377 Speaker 1: kind of big name, big show that might have been 505 00:27:15,417 --> 00:27:19,217 Speaker 1: able to draw in other folks. Absolutely. I mean, I 506 00:27:19,217 --> 00:27:21,097 Speaker 1: think that's a model for what you might want with 507 00:27:21,137 --> 00:27:23,337 Speaker 1: a streaming service. It's a binge able show and you 508 00:27:23,337 --> 00:27:26,097 Speaker 1: can watch multiple episodes. It's not tied to news at 509 00:27:26,097 --> 00:27:30,337 Speaker 1: the moment. It's a lot different than say, watching Chris 510 00:27:30,337 --> 00:27:34,777 Speaker 1: Wallace interview someone like Diane ben Furstenberg for an hour. 511 00:27:35,017 --> 00:27:37,537 Speaker 1: Why I have absolutely no idea? Do we know? I 512 00:27:37,577 --> 00:27:39,897 Speaker 1: got to ask you, so, Steve Justserver says, you used 513 00:27:39,897 --> 00:27:41,697 Speaker 1: to Steve knows CNN, used to work at CNN. He 514 00:27:42,097 --> 00:27:44,777 Speaker 1: knows the ropes over there very well. Do you think 515 00:27:44,777 --> 00:27:47,137 Speaker 1: they're going to pay out Chris Wallace is twelve million 516 00:27:47,217 --> 00:27:49,937 Speaker 1: or whatever obscene salary they're giving him. How does that work? 517 00:27:49,977 --> 00:27:54,457 Speaker 1: I figure probably right, it's a talent contract. I would 518 00:27:54,457 --> 00:27:56,857 Speaker 1: say that the talent is going to get paid out. Yeah, 519 00:27:56,857 --> 00:28:00,177 Speaker 1: I think these Chris Wallace for sure. I'm curious about 520 00:28:00,177 --> 00:28:02,457 Speaker 1: people like Don Lemon who launched a talk show called 521 00:28:02,457 --> 00:28:04,657 Speaker 1: The Don Lemon Show and it aired one episode and 522 00:28:04,737 --> 00:28:07,257 Speaker 1: now it's done. What does he I'm sure you have 523 00:28:07,377 --> 00:28:11,577 Speaker 1: the clause in the contract that and now I've got 524 00:28:11,577 --> 00:28:13,817 Speaker 1: to talk show even if it airs or not. And 525 00:28:14,137 --> 00:28:16,857 Speaker 1: I have to say, I mean, look, CNN plus hired 526 00:28:17,097 --> 00:28:21,337 Speaker 1: more than two hundred people to work on now they 527 00:28:21,377 --> 00:28:24,857 Speaker 1: have said they will essentially pay nine months severance, which 528 00:28:24,897 --> 00:28:27,457 Speaker 1: is very nice for maybe a low level production assistant 529 00:28:27,457 --> 00:28:29,217 Speaker 1: that thought they were coming on to this new big 530 00:28:29,257 --> 00:28:31,937 Speaker 1: thing and it lasted for four weeks and now they're 531 00:28:31,937 --> 00:28:33,817 Speaker 1: out of a job. They do have nine months severance, 532 00:28:34,057 --> 00:28:38,737 Speaker 1: but it's a total disaster. And look, I noticed last 533 00:28:38,777 --> 00:28:40,897 Speaker 1: week that something was wrong when the at scene and 534 00:28:40,937 --> 00:28:43,177 Speaker 1: Twitter account, which you mentioned. I used to work at CNN. 535 00:28:43,257 --> 00:28:45,257 Speaker 1: One of my jobs was running the at scene on 536 00:28:45,297 --> 00:28:48,257 Speaker 1: Twitter account fifty eight million followers. You know how many 537 00:28:48,257 --> 00:28:51,017 Speaker 1: times the at scene and Twitter account mentioned CNN plus 538 00:28:51,697 --> 00:28:56,377 Speaker 1: zero zero times they have mentioned their own streaming channel. 539 00:28:56,417 --> 00:28:59,377 Speaker 1: There was no marketing coordination behind this. There was no 540 00:28:59,457 --> 00:29:02,217 Speaker 1: effort to sample content or to get it out into 541 00:29:02,257 --> 00:29:06,097 Speaker 1: different streams. It was a mess from I know you 542 00:29:06,177 --> 00:29:09,417 Speaker 1: have a fantastic media newsletter you put out, but I 543 00:29:09,657 --> 00:29:13,457 Speaker 1: do think fit the most prominent media critic in America 544 00:29:14,657 --> 00:29:17,097 Speaker 1: needed to weigh in on this one as well, former 545 00:29:17,097 --> 00:29:21,537 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. So here's what he says. Congratulations to 546 00:29:21,657 --> 00:29:25,457 Speaker 1: CNN plus other decision to immediately fold for lack of 547 00:29:25,577 --> 00:29:28,497 Speaker 1: ratings or viewers in any way, shape or form. It 548 00:29:28,537 --> 00:29:31,057 Speaker 1: was like an empty desert out there. Despite spending one 549 00:29:31,097 --> 00:29:33,377 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars. In any event, there's just 550 00:29:33,417 --> 00:29:35,457 Speaker 1: one more piece of CNN and fake news you don't 551 00:29:35,457 --> 00:29:38,057 Speaker 1: want to bother with anymore. I mean, Steve, I think 552 00:29:38,177 --> 00:29:41,737 Speaker 1: I think he pretty much nails the key points. He does. Yeah, 553 00:29:41,977 --> 00:29:43,857 Speaker 1: I mean, the great thing about Donald Trump is that 554 00:29:43,937 --> 00:29:47,617 Speaker 1: he was such a media critic and a I mean, 555 00:29:47,657 --> 00:29:49,257 Speaker 1: I wish that was a tweet now that would have 556 00:29:49,297 --> 00:29:52,257 Speaker 1: been been going virals. Sadly he can't tweet. No, I 557 00:29:53,017 --> 00:29:55,657 Speaker 1: he nailed it. Yeah, it was. It was doomed kind 558 00:29:55,697 --> 00:29:57,697 Speaker 1: of from the beginning. It did never really made a 559 00:29:57,697 --> 00:29:59,417 Speaker 1: ton of sense. I think about you know, we mentioned 560 00:29:59,457 --> 00:30:02,377 Speaker 1: Chris Wallace is like this big splashy higher casey hunt 561 00:30:02,417 --> 00:30:05,817 Speaker 1: from MSNBC. Rex Chapman, the guy who has a lot 562 00:30:05,857 --> 00:30:08,057 Speaker 1: of tweets so that he sort of steals from other 563 00:30:08,097 --> 00:30:11,777 Speaker 1: people and other memes. It was. I watched a couple 564 00:30:11,817 --> 00:30:14,297 Speaker 1: of clips of his show. It's just painful. I mean, 565 00:30:14,337 --> 00:30:16,337 Speaker 1: I don't know if they ever thought Grex Cheman as 566 00:30:16,337 --> 00:30:18,257 Speaker 1: a Twitter followers, so let's give him a TV show, 567 00:30:18,497 --> 00:30:21,137 Speaker 1: but without actually seeing how he is on TV. It's 568 00:30:21,137 --> 00:30:25,457 Speaker 1: just it was ill conceived and it was clearly they 569 00:30:25,497 --> 00:30:26,857 Speaker 1: got a lot of money to do this thing, three 570 00:30:26,977 --> 00:30:30,337 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars and that's exciting, and you can fire 571 00:30:30,377 --> 00:30:32,617 Speaker 1: a lot of people, but you have to have content 572 00:30:32,657 --> 00:30:35,337 Speaker 1: you have and this honestly connects to Netflix. I mean, 573 00:30:35,857 --> 00:30:38,617 Speaker 1: part of the problem is with what's declining right now 574 00:30:38,857 --> 00:30:42,177 Speaker 1: is the quality of the content. There's so much content 575 00:30:42,177 --> 00:30:44,377 Speaker 1: out there now. You have to be good, and I 576 00:30:44,417 --> 00:30:46,457 Speaker 1: know that's subjective, but you have to be good, and 577 00:30:46,497 --> 00:30:48,497 Speaker 1: it's a lot of woke crap. I just actually want 578 00:30:48,537 --> 00:30:50,657 Speaker 1: something that lets my brain relax and turn off at 579 00:30:50,697 --> 00:30:52,377 Speaker 1: the end of the day, not that tells me that, 580 00:30:52,457 --> 00:30:55,977 Speaker 1: you know, it's time for transgender youth indoctrination or something. 581 00:30:56,017 --> 00:30:57,937 Speaker 1: But anyway, and you know they'll do it in like 582 00:30:58,217 --> 00:31:01,537 Speaker 1: movies about the ninth century Viking conquest of England. I mean, 583 00:31:01,537 --> 00:31:03,697 Speaker 1: they're really they're really going all out with this stuff 584 00:31:03,737 --> 00:31:06,297 Speaker 1: these days. Crack, we'll have you back. Good to see him, 585 00:31:06,297 --> 00:31:10,937 Speaker 1: my man, Thanks for being here. Thank you. Democrats are 586 00:31:10,937 --> 00:31:13,137 Speaker 1: starting to sweat as a number of one safe house 587 00:31:13,297 --> 00:31:15,617 Speaker 1: races have moved to the toss up column and laid 588 00:31:15,657 --> 00:31:17,537 Speaker 1: his polls. But come back in a moment here with 589 00:31:17,577 --> 00:31:20,257 Speaker 1: commentary edit at the Washington Examiner, con Carol, he's going 590 00:31:20,297 --> 00:31:23,097 Speaker 1: to give us take on the coming storm.

As the midterm 608 00:32:14,937 --> 00:32:18,377 Speaker 1: elections draw closer and Biden's approval rating is dropping by 609 00:32:18,417 --> 00:32:20,737 Speaker 1: the day, many seats in the House and Senate the 610 00:32:20,737 --> 00:32:23,897 Speaker 1: Democrats once thought were safe seemed to be up for grabs. 611 00:32:24,257 --> 00:32:28,417 Speaker 1: Even CNN, a reliable cheerleader for Democrats, is starting to 612 00:32:28,497 --> 00:32:31,097 Speaker 1: sound the alarm bells and the possibility that Democrats could 613 00:32:31,217 --> 00:32:35,137 Speaker 1: get hammered in November. Check out this headline from CNN Politics. 614 00:32:35,177 --> 00:32:39,017 Speaker 1: The House playing field is a playing field rather sorry, 615 00:32:39,057 --> 00:32:42,377 Speaker 1: the house playing field is coming into focus and it's 616 00:32:42,457 --> 00:32:45,257 Speaker 1: not a pretty picture for Democrats. So will we see 617 00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:48,937 Speaker 1: that red wave come crashing down this November? I mean 618 00:32:48,937 --> 00:32:51,777 Speaker 1: out to discuss where we are. Commentary editor at The 619 00:32:51,777 --> 00:32:55,737 Speaker 1: Washington Examiner con Carl con good to see it, read 620 00:32:55,777 --> 00:32:58,217 Speaker 1: to be here, buddy. So look, I know we're gonna 621 00:32:58,217 --> 00:33:00,177 Speaker 1: be talking to this a lot in the months ahead, 622 00:33:00,257 --> 00:33:03,737 Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna be saying, well, it's a lifetime in politics, YadA, YadA. 623 00:33:04,057 --> 00:33:06,657 Speaker 1: The Democrats are already starting to look for the panic 624 00:33:06,697 --> 00:33:08,257 Speaker 1: button a little bit. So I want you to put 625 00:33:08,297 --> 00:33:10,497 Speaker 1: this into context. I mean, how bad is it looking 626 00:33:10,537 --> 00:33:12,537 Speaker 1: for them at this stage? Because I actually think it's 627 00:33:12,577 --> 00:33:15,617 Speaker 1: going to get worse for them too. Yeah, I mean 628 00:33:15,657 --> 00:33:19,617 Speaker 1: it definitely could. Mind's about to totally repeal Title forty two. 629 00:33:19,657 --> 00:33:22,097 Speaker 1: There's going to be a huge border crisis. There's a 630 00:33:22,097 --> 00:33:24,977 Speaker 1: lot of bad news yet to come. But even before that, 631 00:33:25,377 --> 00:33:26,977 Speaker 1: you know, we're looking at a house it's going to 632 00:33:27,057 --> 00:33:29,777 Speaker 1: lose twenty to thirty seats, which would give a strong 633 00:33:29,817 --> 00:33:34,377 Speaker 1: Republican majority in twenty twenty four. So here's the generic 634 00:33:34,537 --> 00:33:38,697 Speaker 1: ballot according to Rasmussen, or Republican versus Democrat. This congressional 635 00:33:38,737 --> 00:33:43,017 Speaker 1: ballot forty seven percent, Republican Democrat thirty nine percent. Now, 636 00:33:43,097 --> 00:33:45,737 Speaker 1: we would usually expect going into a midterm election that 637 00:33:45,777 --> 00:33:47,857 Speaker 1: the party in power, which is the Democrat party, is 638 00:33:47,857 --> 00:33:51,057 Speaker 1: going to be at something of a disadvantage. But how 639 00:33:51,057 --> 00:33:54,857 Speaker 1: does this lineup come with what we've seen before at 640 00:33:54,897 --> 00:33:57,777 Speaker 1: this stage a midterm, in the sorry midterm election, in 641 00:33:57,777 --> 00:34:01,657 Speaker 1: the first term of a new president. Are these numbers 642 00:34:01,697 --> 00:34:03,897 Speaker 1: that look like what we saw going into twenty ten 643 00:34:04,057 --> 00:34:06,377 Speaker 1: with the historic Tea party wave or could it be 644 00:34:06,417 --> 00:34:10,577 Speaker 1: even bigger? How do you engage it? It's it's bigger, 645 00:34:10,657 --> 00:34:14,217 Speaker 1: it's much bigger. The party out of power always looks good. 646 00:34:14,537 --> 00:34:18,097 Speaker 1: But on the generic ballot question, generally Republicans fare worse 647 00:34:18,217 --> 00:34:21,337 Speaker 1: than Democrats, So that the Republicans are eight points ahead 648 00:34:21,377 --> 00:34:23,977 Speaker 1: already in this point points to a huge year. There 649 00:34:23,977 --> 00:34:25,937 Speaker 1: are way ahead of where they were in twenty ten 650 00:34:26,017 --> 00:34:28,857 Speaker 1: and in twenty fourteen. So if you were just looking 651 00:34:28,857 --> 00:34:31,017 Speaker 1: at the numbers you didn't know anything else, you would 652 00:34:31,057 --> 00:34:34,257 Speaker 1: expect this coming twenty twenty two to be worse for 653 00:34:34,337 --> 00:34:37,897 Speaker 1: Democrats than twenty ten or twenty fourteen. The way here 654 00:34:38,017 --> 00:34:43,057 Speaker 1: is some of the Democrat party line starting to pull apart. 655 00:34:43,097 --> 00:34:46,257 Speaker 1: I mean, people are realizing they got a big problem here. 656 00:34:46,337 --> 00:34:50,057 Speaker 1: Here is Stephen Ratner, who's a former Obama advisor, who 657 00:34:50,097 --> 00:34:53,537 Speaker 1: was on MSNBC and he shared some numbers for the 658 00:34:53,537 --> 00:34:55,937 Speaker 1: public's ability to trust one party or the other with 659 00:34:55,977 --> 00:34:58,737 Speaker 1: a variety of topics. Watch this one, people ask which 660 00:34:58,857 --> 00:35:01,457 Speaker 1: party would you trust to handle an issue more in Congress, 661 00:35:01,977 --> 00:35:05,977 Speaker 1: and on inflation, it was the Republicans forty six to 662 00:35:06,097 --> 00:35:10,377 Speaker 1: thirty two, so I spread up fourteen points. National charity 663 00:35:10,417 --> 00:35:12,297 Speaker 1: of all things it was forty eight to thirty five, 664 00:35:12,337 --> 00:35:14,977 Speaker 1: a spread of thirteen points. And on the economy it 665 00:35:15,017 --> 00:35:17,577 Speaker 1: was forty seven to thirty six, to spread of eleven points. 666 00:35:18,017 --> 00:35:21,817 Speaker 1: And so they're simply not a belief in among the 667 00:35:21,857 --> 00:35:25,337 Speaker 1: American people that the Democrats are well equipped to handle 668 00:35:25,497 --> 00:35:28,897 Speaker 1: pretty much any problem at the moment. Unfortunately, it seems 669 00:35:28,937 --> 00:35:32,857 Speaker 1: almost like the perception is settling in across America. Democrats 670 00:35:33,337 --> 00:35:37,057 Speaker 1: not good at governing, good at whining about about January 671 00:35:37,097 --> 00:35:40,377 Speaker 1: sixth all day long, not about actually running the country. 672 00:35:41,337 --> 00:35:44,297 Speaker 1: It's well earned. Look, I mean, this is a president 673 00:35:44,377 --> 00:35:47,537 Speaker 1: who butchered the job in Afghanistans, who has no credibility 674 00:35:47,537 --> 00:35:50,337 Speaker 1: on foreign policy, so while Ukraine's not helping him, this 675 00:35:50,497 --> 00:35:53,017 Speaker 1: is a president that created the border crisis by ending 676 00:35:53,057 --> 00:35:55,457 Speaker 1: Trump's remain in Mexican policy. This is a president that 677 00:35:55,497 --> 00:35:59,457 Speaker 1: created the inflation crisis by having a huge trillion dollars 678 00:35:59,497 --> 00:36:03,057 Speaker 1: in on this bill that was completely a unipartisan All 679 00:36:03,097 --> 00:36:05,897 Speaker 1: of these problems are of his own creation. They've earned 680 00:36:06,097 --> 00:36:08,457 Speaker 1: these bad numbers and they're going to get justice in 681 00:36:08,457 --> 00:36:11,137 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. What do you think are some of 682 00:36:11,177 --> 00:36:13,737 Speaker 1: the races Senate side or if you think one on 683 00:36:13,777 --> 00:36:17,177 Speaker 1: the House side is particularly noteworthy as a as a 684 00:36:17,217 --> 00:36:20,297 Speaker 1: bellweather as as something that's indicative of a larger trend 685 00:36:21,097 --> 00:36:23,297 Speaker 1: right now, I know we still have primaries to go with, 686 00:36:23,417 --> 00:36:26,817 Speaker 1: but in terms of contested states or contested districts, what 687 00:36:27,177 --> 00:36:30,217 Speaker 1: are you watching as Oh, if if Republicans start to 688 00:36:30,297 --> 00:36:32,897 Speaker 1: run the table with the following, it's going to be 689 00:36:32,937 --> 00:36:34,657 Speaker 1: a red wave the likes we've never seen. I mean, 690 00:36:34,657 --> 00:36:37,497 Speaker 1: what are the states you're looking at? Sure, I'm a 691 00:36:37,657 --> 00:36:40,137 Speaker 1: Senate guy from probably going to big senate state Senate 692 00:36:40,177 --> 00:36:42,937 Speaker 1: races and not House races, but I think you know, 693 00:36:42,937 --> 00:36:47,057 Speaker 1: if you look at someplace like New Hampshire or Arizona 694 00:36:47,257 --> 00:36:52,017 Speaker 1: where Hassan is barely hanging on, if that state goes red, 695 00:36:52,177 --> 00:36:53,657 Speaker 1: it's going to be just a huge year or for 696 00:36:53,697 --> 00:36:56,337 Speaker 1: the Republicans. And then if you want to stretch it 697 00:36:56,377 --> 00:36:59,177 Speaker 1: even just a little bit further, of course, in Nevada 698 00:36:59,257 --> 00:37:03,097 Speaker 1: you have Mortest Castro out there and she's falling behind. 699 00:37:03,497 --> 00:37:05,337 Speaker 1: But right next door or not right next or two 700 00:37:05,337 --> 00:37:08,057 Speaker 1: states over in Colorado, then it's up as well. And 701 00:37:08,777 --> 00:37:10,657 Speaker 1: if it's a big enough way, I think you can 702 00:37:10,737 --> 00:37:14,177 Speaker 1: see them losing in the states like Colorado too. Here 703 00:37:14,377 --> 00:37:17,977 Speaker 1: is the mainstream media or the democraticle on corporate media 704 00:37:18,017 --> 00:37:20,937 Speaker 1: as I prefer to call them, showing how worried they 705 00:37:20,977 --> 00:37:24,377 Speaker 1: are about what they're calling a Trump takeover. Of course 706 00:37:24,457 --> 00:37:26,737 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, based on how these mid terms, well, 707 00:37:26,737 --> 00:37:29,377 Speaker 1: they're assuming it'll be Trump. Watch this. A part of 708 00:37:29,377 --> 00:37:30,937 Speaker 1: what we have to do here in the mid term 709 00:37:31,497 --> 00:37:34,617 Speaker 1: is portray a message of unfinished business. We have to 710 00:37:34,657 --> 00:37:36,897 Speaker 1: put Trump back on the ballot. But that means that 711 00:37:36,977 --> 00:37:39,217 Speaker 1: does not mean that that we get to make every 712 00:37:39,217 --> 00:37:42,137 Speaker 1: Republican steam like Trump. It means that we have to 713 00:37:42,217 --> 00:37:46,377 Speaker 1: literally explain that if if Republicans win the House and 714 00:37:46,457 --> 00:37:49,257 Speaker 1: the Senate in twenty twenty two, they will reinstall a 715 00:37:49,297 --> 00:37:54,217 Speaker 1: Trump in twenty twenty four. I mean, first of all, 716 00:37:54,257 --> 00:37:57,097 Speaker 1: like no, but beyond that, also, that's not going to 717 00:37:57,177 --> 00:38:00,257 Speaker 1: help them going to the mid terms. They have no 718 00:38:00,297 --> 00:38:02,737 Speaker 1: other playbook, right, I mean, if you look at the 719 00:38:02,737 --> 00:38:05,177 Speaker 1: congressional calendar. All that they have left to do is 720 00:38:05,217 --> 00:38:08,217 Speaker 1: the Juniory six committee. That's the there only play that 721 00:38:08,257 --> 00:38:10,257 Speaker 1: they have. And so that's why you saw you know, 722 00:38:10,337 --> 00:38:12,657 Speaker 1: news breaking this week where they tried to shame you know, 723 00:38:12,737 --> 00:38:15,657 Speaker 1: Chip Roy and Mike Lee with text to Mark Meadows. 724 00:38:15,697 --> 00:38:18,817 Speaker 1: The only thing they have is January sixth, and so 725 00:38:18,857 --> 00:38:20,737 Speaker 1: they're gonna try to make as much hay, as much 726 00:38:20,817 --> 00:38:23,257 Speaker 1: drama as again at the January six committee, and it's 727 00:38:23,257 --> 00:38:26,737 Speaker 1: just not gonna work. Amazing to watch the solid playout. 728 00:38:26,777 --> 00:38:29,217 Speaker 1: What's your prediction. We'll play this back for you after 729 00:38:29,217 --> 00:38:32,897 Speaker 1: the election for Senate because you're a Senate guy, Senate 730 00:38:32,937 --> 00:38:35,497 Speaker 1: pick up, gop. What are we looking at? In your mind? 731 00:38:37,057 --> 00:38:42,137 Speaker 1: I say they get fifty four. Fifty four, that'd be nice, 732 00:38:42,177 --> 00:38:44,257 Speaker 1: that'd be a breaking, nice, solid majority. Or do you 733 00:38:44,257 --> 00:38:45,737 Speaker 1: want to give us a house number or you want 734 00:38:45,737 --> 00:38:48,577 Speaker 1: to hold back on that one. No, No, I'll go 735 00:38:48,577 --> 00:38:53,137 Speaker 1: ahead and say, um, twenty five. Wow, I think I 736 00:38:53,137 --> 00:38:55,457 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be more like fifty. So calm, We'll 737 00:38:55,497 --> 00:38:57,457 Speaker 1: have to see. We'll have to see. I mean, I'm 738 00:38:57,457 --> 00:39:01,057 Speaker 1: a hopeful guy. What can I tell you? Let's let's see. 739 00:39:01,097 --> 00:39:05,737 Speaker 1: Thanks so much man, good to see you anytime. When 740 00:39:05,777 --> 00:39:09,217 Speaker 1: reporters call out Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on the soaring 741 00:39:09,257 --> 00:39:12,017 Speaker 1: crime and just dysfunction in her city, she tells them 742 00:39:12,257 --> 00:39:16,177 Speaker 1: she will not dignify their comments. Oh yeah, that's right. 743 00:39:16,537 --> 00:39:19,217 Speaker 1: We got that story coming from the Windy City and more. 744 00:39:19,457 --> 00:39:28,377 Speaker 1: In quick hits up neck, Joe Biden seems confused when 745 00:39:28,417 --> 00:39:30,657 Speaker 1: answering a question about Title forty two and the White 746 00:39:30,657 --> 00:39:34,017 Speaker 1: House doubles down on keeping America dependent on for an oil. 747 00:39:34,057 --> 00:39:36,697 Speaker 1: We have those stories to quick hit. Let's get right 748 00:39:36,777 --> 00:39:42,017 Speaker 1: to it. So Joe Biden was asked about Title ford. 749 00:39:42,097 --> 00:39:45,297 Speaker 1: Now he did. To be fair, he did clarify this today. 750 00:39:45,297 --> 00:39:47,217 Speaker 1: He was asked about this yesterday. But we do want 751 00:39:47,217 --> 00:39:48,617 Speaker 1: to show you. Oh I'm sorry, I asked about this 752 00:39:48,617 --> 00:39:51,377 Speaker 1: earlier today and then had to clarify it later in 753 00:39:51,417 --> 00:39:54,137 Speaker 1: the day. But here's what the Commander in chief sounded 754 00:39:54,137 --> 00:39:55,777 Speaker 1: like when he was asked at a a press conference about 755 00:39:55,777 --> 00:40:00,177 Speaker 1: Title forty two, and he clearly thought that he just 756 00:40:00,257 --> 00:40:01,737 Speaker 1: didn't know what the hell he's talking about. Watch this 757 00:40:04,897 --> 00:40:09,417 Speaker 1: laying no what I'm considering it is continuing to hear 758 00:40:09,497 --> 00:40:13,257 Speaker 1: from my First of all, there's going to be an 759 00:40:13,257 --> 00:40:17,817 Speaker 1: appeal by the Justice Department, because as a matter of principle, 760 00:40:17,937 --> 00:40:19,377 Speaker 1: we want to be able to be in a position 761 00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:23,897 Speaker 1: where if in fact it is strongly concluded by the 762 00:40:24,617 --> 00:40:28,457 Speaker 1: scientists that we need a Title forty two, that we 763 00:40:28,617 --> 00:40:31,057 Speaker 1: be able to do that, but there has been no 764 00:40:31,137 --> 00:40:35,457 Speaker 1: decision on extending Title forty two. You can just sort 765 00:40:35,457 --> 00:40:38,177 Speaker 1: of see the wires getting crossed in real time where 766 00:40:38,817 --> 00:40:43,297 Speaker 1: he thinks he's talking about the CDC weighing in on 767 00:40:43,337 --> 00:40:46,817 Speaker 1: the mask mandate and the DOJ bringing a challenge to 768 00:40:46,857 --> 00:40:49,937 Speaker 1: the judge in Florida who overturned it, but he actually 769 00:40:49,937 --> 00:40:52,257 Speaker 1: then gets confused with Title forty two, which is also 770 00:40:52,297 --> 00:40:54,897 Speaker 1: a CDC authority that has to do with the Southern border, 771 00:40:55,217 --> 00:40:58,817 Speaker 1: which the CDC is not currently involved in, trying to 772 00:40:58,857 --> 00:41:02,777 Speaker 1: weigh in on and have the DOJ overturned. Because it's just, 773 00:41:02,937 --> 00:41:06,577 Speaker 1: you know, just all scrambled up there, folks. He's the 774 00:41:06,577 --> 00:41:09,097 Speaker 1: commander in chief. Though Democrats thought this was really a 775 00:41:09,137 --> 00:41:14,297 Speaker 1: really good idea, Biden's climate advisor Gina McCarthy says Biden 776 00:41:14,617 --> 00:41:17,537 Speaker 1: remains absolutely committed to not moving forward with an additional 777 00:41:17,657 --> 00:41:20,937 Speaker 1: drilling on public lands. Watch this one. President Biden remains 778 00:41:21,057 --> 00:41:26,057 Speaker 1: absolutely committed to not moving forward with additional drilling on 779 00:41:26,177 --> 00:41:29,257 Speaker 1: public lands. The challenge that we faced was that we 780 00:41:29,337 --> 00:41:32,737 Speaker 1: had a court that ordered that a new lease to 781 00:41:32,777 --> 00:41:35,897 Speaker 1: be done. The Department of Energy had no choice but 782 00:41:36,017 --> 00:41:39,257 Speaker 1: to put it out. But they also find found ways 783 00:41:39,297 --> 00:41:42,217 Speaker 1: to reduce the size of that in its impact. And 784 00:41:42,257 --> 00:41:44,737 Speaker 1: we'll keep doing what we need to do to appeal 785 00:41:44,817 --> 00:41:48,137 Speaker 1: those decisions and to make our case in a court. 786 00:41:50,097 --> 00:41:52,697 Speaker 1: I mean, they keep telling you that they're going to 787 00:41:52,737 --> 00:41:55,057 Speaker 1: do everything they can to bring down the price of gas, 788 00:41:55,057 --> 00:41:59,137 Speaker 1: but they actually aren't interested in doing that. They're interested 789 00:41:59,137 --> 00:42:01,937 Speaker 1: in saying that because it's politically important for them, but 790 00:42:01,937 --> 00:42:05,017 Speaker 1: they would rather continue the charade of oh yeah, just 791 00:42:05,057 --> 00:42:08,457 Speaker 1: give us some time, will we'll figure this out when 792 00:42:08,697 --> 00:42:11,897 Speaker 1: there actually comes to decision making no interest. This is 793 00:42:11,937 --> 00:42:14,137 Speaker 1: honestly one of my favorite moments of the week. Laura 794 00:42:14,217 --> 00:42:17,537 Speaker 1: Lightfoot is a terrible mayor. It's just a fact. Okay, 795 00:42:17,537 --> 00:42:19,937 Speaker 1: it's obvious. Everybody knows this. Even Democrats know that she's 796 00:42:19,977 --> 00:42:22,977 Speaker 1: just really bad at the job. Chicago is in rough shape. 797 00:42:22,977 --> 00:42:24,697 Speaker 1: The crime is completely out of control, It's worse than 798 00:42:24,737 --> 00:42:27,337 Speaker 1: it has ever been, and there's all kinds of dysfunction 799 00:42:27,417 --> 00:42:29,337 Speaker 1: on the streets. It's not a well run city. We 800 00:42:29,417 --> 00:42:31,537 Speaker 1: know this. And here's a Redding reporter. I don't know 801 00:42:31,577 --> 00:42:34,617 Speaker 1: this guy is, who's just like you know, you're horrible 802 00:42:34,657 --> 00:42:37,137 Speaker 1: at this and you shouldn't run for reelection. Right. Here's 803 00:42:37,137 --> 00:42:39,177 Speaker 1: how that wet when he asked the mayor to her face, 804 00:42:39,777 --> 00:42:42,057 Speaker 1: every time you have a press conference, you say crime 805 00:42:42,137 --> 00:42:46,297 Speaker 1: is down, the economy is booming. Well that's not true. 806 00:42:46,337 --> 00:42:49,537 Speaker 1: But get your question, sir. Across the street, we had 807 00:42:49,577 --> 00:42:52,257 Speaker 1: a police officer on duty the victim of a hit 808 00:42:52,337 --> 00:42:56,537 Speaker 1: and run. We have Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent miles, now 809 00:42:56,657 --> 00:43:00,977 Speaker 1: referred to as the Mile of Fear. The water Tower 810 00:43:01,057 --> 00:43:04,097 Speaker 1: Place has thrown the keys back to the lender. They 811 00:43:04,097 --> 00:43:07,497 Speaker 1: say they don't want to be in Chicago anymore. Real 812 00:43:07,577 --> 00:43:11,897 Speaker 1: Chicagoans are asking me, how could you possibly even consider 813 00:43:13,097 --> 00:43:15,697 Speaker 1: running for reelection as mayor of the City of Chicago 814 00:43:15,737 --> 00:43:19,257 Speaker 1: after all the harm you've caused. Well, I disagree with 815 00:43:19,297 --> 00:43:22,817 Speaker 1: you fundamentally, and I don't think I need to address 816 00:43:22,857 --> 00:43:27,697 Speaker 1: any and dignify your comments one second further. Next question, 817 00:43:29,217 --> 00:43:32,257 Speaker 1: Notice how she doesn't even have a real response to 818 00:43:32,257 --> 00:43:35,497 Speaker 1: those allegations. Right, how about we've brought crime down in 819 00:43:35,537 --> 00:43:38,537 Speaker 1: the last six months twenty percent and we've had more 820 00:43:38,577 --> 00:43:41,177 Speaker 1: economic value. I'm making up those numbers when we're saying 821 00:43:41,217 --> 00:43:43,617 Speaker 1: if she actually had a worthwhile response, you would have. 822 00:43:44,017 --> 00:43:45,417 Speaker 1: I mean, that guy's just called you out. He's just 823 00:43:45,457 --> 00:43:47,777 Speaker 1: straight up said you're bad at your job. Someone says 824 00:43:47,777 --> 00:43:49,457 Speaker 1: you're bad at your job, and you're good at your job. 825 00:43:49,897 --> 00:43:51,537 Speaker 1: You fight back, You don't say, I'm not going to 826 00:43:51,577 --> 00:43:54,737 Speaker 1: dignify that with a response, but she is bed at 827 00:43:54,737 --> 00:43:57,537 Speaker 1: her job. Here's former Health Advisor President Joe Biden, doctor 828 00:43:57,577 --> 00:44:01,137 Speaker 1: Michael austar Home saying that, yeah, the mass mandate was 829 00:44:01,177 --> 00:44:05,257 Speaker 1: really overstated. Watched, you know, without sounding as a contrarian 830 00:44:05,617 --> 00:44:08,577 Speaker 1: or somehow I'll trying to undercut public health. You have 831 00:44:08,617 --> 00:44:11,657 Speaker 1: to know that I am a very pro respiratory protection 832 00:44:11,737 --> 00:44:16,177 Speaker 1: masking person, but that requires an in ninety five respirator. 833 00:44:16,337 --> 00:44:19,177 Speaker 1: We know it is how highly infectious this virus is, 834 00:44:19,177 --> 00:44:22,737 Speaker 1: and to use facecloth carverings or even surgical masks leaves 835 00:44:22,737 --> 00:44:26,577 Speaker 1: you still largely unprotected and that is a big challenge. Well, 836 00:44:26,617 --> 00:44:28,577 Speaker 1: if you look at the mask mandate, it was all 837 00:44:28,577 --> 00:44:31,857 Speaker 1: about the vast majority of people wearing facecloth carverings or 838 00:44:31,897 --> 00:44:34,497 Speaker 1: surgical masks, or if you're on a plane and you're 839 00:44:34,537 --> 00:44:36,617 Speaker 1: eating or drinking, you don't have to wear it at all. 840 00:44:37,017 --> 00:44:40,097 Speaker 1: I think the mask mandate has been really overstated in 841 00:44:40,177 --> 00:44:43,657 Speaker 1: terms of how much you can protect people. It sounds 842 00:44:43,697 --> 00:44:46,057 Speaker 1: like me for the last two years. And I'm not 843 00:44:46,177 --> 00:44:48,297 Speaker 1: some doctor who is an adviser to Biden, but I 844 00:44:48,337 --> 00:44:51,657 Speaker 1: just know things. Not a moron. As everything, I to 845 00:44:51,657 --> 00:44:53,857 Speaker 1: hold a line the Nose. Spin News with Bill Areley 846 00:44:53,977 --> 00:45:10,417 Speaker 1: is next Field's high
