WEBVTT - Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 04-21-22

0:00:11.657 --> 0:00:14.937
<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 --> 0:00:22.857
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts. Looks like the state of

0:00:22.857 --> 0:00:25.977
<v Speaker 1>Florida has delivered a huge blow to the Disney Corporation today,

0:00:26.097 --> 0:00:30.177
<v Speaker 1>revoking a decades old rule that allows the company to

0:00:30.217 --> 0:00:33.577
<v Speaker 1>operate as an independent government around its theme park. Is

0:00:33.577 --> 0:00:36.657
<v Speaker 1>this the way forward for conservatives to actually fight fire

0:00:36.697 --> 0:00:45.777
<v Speaker 1>with fire, friends, It's time for all one. But I

0:00:45.817 --> 0:00:49.697
<v Speaker 1>am announcing today that we are expanding the call of

0:00:49.737 --> 0:00:52.297
<v Speaker 1>what they are going to be considering this week, and

0:00:52.337 --> 0:00:55.417
<v Speaker 1>so yes, they will be considering the congressional map, but

0:00:55.537 --> 0:01:00.097
<v Speaker 1>they also will be considering termination of all special districts

0:01:00.297 --> 0:01:03.497
<v Speaker 1>that were enacted in Florida prior to nineteen sixty eight,

0:01:03.657 --> 0:01:10.297
<v Speaker 1>and that includes the Red Creek Improvement District. Welcome hold

0:01:10.337 --> 0:01:13.217
<v Speaker 1>al on on, buck Sexton, don't mess with the scantists.

0:01:13.577 --> 0:01:17.057
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy who gets it. He understands that

0:01:17.097 --> 0:01:20.777
<v Speaker 1>we are in a conflict, a battle for the soul

0:01:20.937 --> 0:01:23.697
<v Speaker 1>and the future of this country, and the woke left

0:01:23.777 --> 0:01:25.657
<v Speaker 1>is trying to kick at the load bearing walls of

0:01:25.657 --> 0:01:28.777
<v Speaker 1>our civilization with all of its might. We can sit

0:01:28.857 --> 0:01:31.417
<v Speaker 1>around and say to ourselves, you know what, let's try

0:01:31.417 --> 0:01:34.217
<v Speaker 1>to create a neutral space. Let's not be too rough

0:01:34.257 --> 0:01:36.497
<v Speaker 1>with the other side. They may be angry about that,

0:01:36.617 --> 0:01:40.617
<v Speaker 1>or we can realize that corporations have been largely weaponized

0:01:40.657 --> 0:01:43.017
<v Speaker 1>by the left in the culture and let's just be

0:01:43.057 --> 0:01:45.817
<v Speaker 1>honest political wars in this country right now to try

0:01:45.857 --> 0:01:50.897
<v Speaker 1>to silence conservatism, traditional values, you name it. Corporations are

0:01:50.897 --> 0:01:53.577
<v Speaker 1>the shock troops of the woke left. The biggest, most

0:01:53.577 --> 0:01:57.377
<v Speaker 1>powerful and wealthy corporations in America in particular, and that

0:01:57.497 --> 0:02:03.697
<v Speaker 1>includes Disney, the great American purveyor of dreams and cartoons

0:02:03.737 --> 0:02:07.417
<v Speaker 1>and fairy tales that was then. Now Disney has executives

0:02:07.457 --> 0:02:09.257
<v Speaker 1>who want to make sure that children are exposed to

0:02:09.377 --> 0:02:14.217
<v Speaker 1>enough trans content and non binary characters who have pan

0:02:14.417 --> 0:02:18.377
<v Speaker 1>sexual identity and ideology. I don't even know what some

0:02:18.417 --> 0:02:19.977
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff means. I don't think anybody knows what

0:02:20.017 --> 0:02:21.777
<v Speaker 1>some of the stuff means, quite honestly, including the people

0:02:21.777 --> 0:02:24.137
<v Speaker 1>who used the words. But Disney has kind of lost

0:02:24.137 --> 0:02:27.697
<v Speaker 1>its mind. Here is the Wall Street Journal writing about

0:02:27.737 --> 0:02:30.177
<v Speaker 1>this special district that might just be going away when

0:02:30.217 --> 0:02:33.057
<v Speaker 1>it comes to Disney. It was created in nineteen sixty seven,

0:02:33.097 --> 0:02:36.257
<v Speaker 1>known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District. It exempts Disney

0:02:36.257 --> 0:02:38.857
<v Speaker 1>from a host of regulations in certain taxes and fees.

0:02:39.257 --> 0:02:42.857
<v Speaker 1>It saves Disney tens of millions of dollars a year, accord,

0:02:43.097 --> 0:02:45.337
<v Speaker 1>according to a person familiar with the company's finances who

0:02:45.337 --> 0:02:49.457
<v Speaker 1>studied the issue over a decade ago. So this is

0:02:49.497 --> 0:02:51.697
<v Speaker 1>a big deal for Disney. Now why is this happening

0:02:52.017 --> 0:02:56.297
<v Speaker 1>Because Disney decided to try to influence state politics very

0:02:56.337 --> 0:03:01.177
<v Speaker 1>aggressively and go against the legislature in the state of

0:03:01.217 --> 0:03:04.537
<v Speaker 1>Florida as it was passing a parental rights and education law.

0:03:05.057 --> 0:03:08.057
<v Speaker 1>So here's really the message that Governor ro On De

0:03:08.137 --> 0:03:12.537
<v Speaker 1>Santis is giving to the Disney Corporation. You don't like it,

0:03:12.577 --> 0:03:15.697
<v Speaker 1>build your own Florida. In fact, here's Florida State Representative

0:03:15.777 --> 0:03:18.817
<v Speaker 1>Randy Fine saying Disney is a guest, but gotta be

0:03:18.817 --> 0:03:21.737
<v Speaker 1>on your best behavior. What this is about is about

0:03:21.817 --> 0:03:25.577
<v Speaker 1>Disney not recognizing that they are a guest in our state.

0:03:25.617 --> 0:03:27.777
<v Speaker 1>They are a California company that is a guest in

0:03:27.817 --> 0:03:29.777
<v Speaker 1>the state of Florida, and they are a guest that

0:03:29.857 --> 0:03:33.057
<v Speaker 1>has had special privileges that no other company has had.

0:03:33.257 --> 0:03:35.817
<v Speaker 1>If you want special privileges, you'd better be on your

0:03:35.857 --> 0:03:38.857
<v Speaker 1>best behavior. And when you come in and misrepresent a

0:03:38.977 --> 0:03:45.257
<v Speaker 1>bill that overwhelming majorities of Republicans, Democrats, even Biden voters support,

0:03:45.577 --> 0:03:48.137
<v Speaker 1>you're going to have an issue in the state of Florida.

0:03:48.377 --> 0:03:51.337
<v Speaker 1>Gonna have an issue. The left does this all the time.

0:03:51.857 --> 0:03:56.257
<v Speaker 1>Companies will decide that if you have a bathroom policy

0:03:56.337 --> 0:03:58.657
<v Speaker 1>that says you have to use the gender that you

0:03:58.737 --> 0:04:03.337
<v Speaker 1>actually are for bathroom and changing room purposes, there are

0:04:03.337 --> 0:04:05.377
<v Speaker 1>companies that will say, will no longer do business, will

0:04:05.377 --> 0:04:08.857
<v Speaker 1>no longer film our movie in your state. That's the

0:04:08.897 --> 0:04:10.817
<v Speaker 1>way the left plays the game. On the right, we

0:04:10.817 --> 0:04:13.457
<v Speaker 1>sit around and say, oh, but it's capitalism. Let's just

0:04:13.537 --> 0:04:16.737
<v Speaker 1>let commerce be our guide. Not so easy. And what

0:04:16.857 --> 0:04:19.617
<v Speaker 1>you've seen here is a reversal. The left thought they

0:04:19.657 --> 0:04:21.537
<v Speaker 1>could go on offense, and they were going to take

0:04:21.577 --> 0:04:24.377
<v Speaker 1>down Florida, which has been the free state of Florida

0:04:24.497 --> 0:04:28.217
<v Speaker 1>in the pandemic, economically better off than all these lockdown

0:04:28.297 --> 0:04:31.657
<v Speaker 1>blue Lib states. They would go after Governor Ron De Santis,

0:04:31.657 --> 0:04:35.817
<v Speaker 1>who is increasingly the most prominent and effective Republican politician

0:04:35.977 --> 0:04:39.097
<v Speaker 1>in America. I think I'm not even sure anybody argues

0:04:39.137 --> 0:04:42.377
<v Speaker 1>he's not the most effective Republican in the country right now,

0:04:42.417 --> 0:04:45.537
<v Speaker 1>I'd be wondering who else would be even in the conversation.

0:04:45.617 --> 0:04:48.257
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Governor young Kin, but he's just getting started in Virginia.

0:04:48.337 --> 0:04:50.937
<v Speaker 1>We'll have to see. And this is all over the

0:04:51.017 --> 0:04:54.137
<v Speaker 1>Parental Rights Bill. Think about how aggressive the left was

0:04:54.177 --> 0:04:57.017
<v Speaker 1>with this. They renamed the bill, and that had all

0:04:57.217 --> 0:05:00.817
<v Speaker 1>the all of their toadies and cronies in the news media,

0:05:01.337 --> 0:05:06.177
<v Speaker 1>all of their supplicants in the corporate legacy media calling

0:05:06.177 --> 0:05:08.657
<v Speaker 1>it that don't say gay bill, when this was just

0:05:09.057 --> 0:05:11.777
<v Speaker 1>a made up term to describe a bill that in

0:05:11.817 --> 0:05:14.617
<v Speaker 1>no way says you can't say gay. That's absurd, right,

0:05:15.097 --> 0:05:18.217
<v Speaker 1>Even the White House still digging in on this one

0:05:18.497 --> 0:05:21.097
<v Speaker 1>and pretending that we can't actually read the bill, which

0:05:21.137 --> 0:05:22.897
<v Speaker 1>is now a law. By the way, here's Deputy White

0:05:22.897 --> 0:05:27.777
<v Speaker 1>House Press Secretary Karen Jean Pierre saying just that our

0:05:27.857 --> 0:05:32.377
<v Speaker 1>view this is that but don't say gay bill is

0:05:32.417 --> 0:05:34.977
<v Speaker 1>really crystal clear. It's wrong. That's our view. It is

0:05:35.017 --> 0:05:39.057
<v Speaker 1>just wrong. Okay, So what's wrong about it? Tell us

0:05:39.057 --> 0:05:44.097
<v Speaker 1>what's wrong? Explain Democrats to the American people. What part

0:05:44.497 --> 0:05:52.017
<v Speaker 1>of preventing state paid, state funded bureaucrats teachers from talking

0:05:52.057 --> 0:05:55.577
<v Speaker 1>to children, not forever. I'm not talking about eighth graders

0:05:55.577 --> 0:05:58.977
<v Speaker 1>and teenagers, and you know, people are going through hormonal changes,

0:05:58.977 --> 0:06:02.457
<v Speaker 1>and adolescens have a five year olds and six year olds. Kindergartens.

0:06:03.177 --> 0:06:06.897
<v Speaker 1>You gotta talk to kindergartens about gender identity. When people

0:06:06.937 --> 0:06:09.177
<v Speaker 1>find out that that's what the bill actually says, they go, well, yeah,

0:06:09.177 --> 0:06:12.737
<v Speaker 1>that's that seems normal, including Democrats, I might add, a

0:06:12.857 --> 0:06:16.657
<v Speaker 1>majority of Democrats in the state of Florida actually believe

0:06:16.697 --> 0:06:19.137
<v Speaker 1>that this builds a good idea. So why is it

0:06:19.257 --> 0:06:23.057
<v Speaker 1>so evil? What's so wrong about it? Well, here is Jensaki,

0:06:23.377 --> 0:06:28.457
<v Speaker 1>who is a woman of the left, explaining that teachers

0:06:28.537 --> 0:06:33.137
<v Speaker 1>should be inserting ideas about gender identity into the minds

0:06:33.137 --> 0:06:37.577
<v Speaker 1>of very very small children. Watch, don't parents have a

0:06:37.697 --> 0:06:40.737
<v Speaker 1>right to have concerned? I mean we're talking specifically here

0:06:41.097 --> 0:06:44.617
<v Speaker 1>about teaching about sex and kindergarten through third grade. I

0:06:44.657 --> 0:06:47.177
<v Speaker 1>have to say, as a parent, I would have problems

0:06:47.177 --> 0:06:51.017
<v Speaker 1>with that. But the laws not about teaching sex education.

0:06:51.257 --> 0:06:55.497
<v Speaker 1>It's about teaching about gender identity. And so what do

0:06:55.537 --> 0:06:58.137
<v Speaker 1>you do if a parent or a kid should I say,

0:06:58.137 --> 0:07:02.097
<v Speaker 1>a kid in one of these elementary schools says, what

0:07:02.257 --> 0:07:06.017
<v Speaker 1>about Sally? Sally has two moms or I'm not sure

0:07:06.057 --> 0:07:08.417
<v Speaker 1>if I'm a girl or a boy. I mean, these

0:07:08.457 --> 0:07:12.377
<v Speaker 1>are kids who are experiencing, you know, these moments in

0:07:12.417 --> 0:07:15.897
<v Speaker 1>their lives. I also think that these are not There

0:07:15.977 --> 0:07:18.897
<v Speaker 1>is not a big record of there being either sex

0:07:19.017 --> 0:07:23.337
<v Speaker 1>education or extensive gender identity education in these schools, and

0:07:23.417 --> 0:07:27.377
<v Speaker 1>this is creating a problem or a political cudgel about

0:07:27.377 --> 0:07:31.097
<v Speaker 1>an issue that I don't think exists. Isn't that fascinating?

0:07:31.097 --> 0:07:34.977
<v Speaker 1>You just saw the White House Press secretary tell anybody

0:07:34.977 --> 0:07:37.137
<v Speaker 1>who was watching, and that was on CNN plus plus.

0:07:37.137 --> 0:07:38.817
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I had too good job control of him.

0:07:38.857 --> 0:07:43.817
<v Speaker 1>I like that CNN plus plus plus that she's saying,

0:07:44.257 --> 0:07:48.777
<v Speaker 1>it's not about teaching sexual sexuality or anything like that,

0:07:49.057 --> 0:07:52.817
<v Speaker 1>it's about gender identity training. Oh okay, how many people

0:07:52.857 --> 0:07:56.097
<v Speaker 1>even knew what gender identity was until the last few years.

0:07:56.137 --> 0:07:58.257
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about adults, people that have been around for

0:07:58.377 --> 0:08:01.657
<v Speaker 1>decades and decade. She actually wants that to happen. She

0:08:01.697 --> 0:08:03.177
<v Speaker 1>wants kids to learn this stuff, and then she says

0:08:03.217 --> 0:08:06.297
<v Speaker 1>it's not happened. Doesn't make any sense. We come back,

0:08:06.337 --> 0:08:08.977
<v Speaker 1>We'll have more on Governor n Descantis is scorched Earth

0:08:09.097 --> 0:08:12.217
<v Speaker 1>tactics and I mean that in a good way against

0:08:12.217 --> 0:08:14.137
<v Speaker 1>Disney with a host of I'm right with Jesse Kelly

0:08:14.177 --> 0:08:16.617

<v Speaker 1>will vote on these two bills. It is my hope

0:09:18.737 --> 0:09:21.857
<v Speaker 1>that we will be able to proceed civilly and with

0:09:21.897 --> 0:09:29.777
<v Speaker 1>decorum and with respect for one another. Read the next bill. Democrats,

0:09:29.817 --> 0:09:31.937
<v Speaker 1>they're throwing a temperate tantrum today on the floor of

0:09:31.977 --> 0:09:36.337
<v Speaker 1>the Florida House of Representatives as that legislative body voted

0:09:36.377 --> 0:09:41.337
<v Speaker 1>to revoke Disney's special governing status, with a bill now

0:09:41.417 --> 0:09:45.017
<v Speaker 1>headed to wrong de Santis's desk for his signature. Some

0:09:45.337 --> 0:09:47.697
<v Speaker 1>are concerned that the Florida governor might be going too

0:09:47.737 --> 0:09:50.897
<v Speaker 1>far and fear that the bill conflicts with a pro

0:09:51.057 --> 0:09:55.977
<v Speaker 1>business stance that conservatives usually favor. My next guest disagrees

0:09:56.137 --> 0:09:58.977
<v Speaker 1>is one thing that weak Sauce around here joining me now,

0:09:59.017 --> 0:10:01.417
<v Speaker 1>the host of I'm Right with Jesse Kelly here on

0:10:01.457 --> 0:10:04.057
<v Speaker 1>the first TV and of course syndicated radio host nationally.

0:10:04.457 --> 0:10:08.377
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Kelly, what's up, Jesse. I don't like the loser

0:10:08.417 --> 0:10:11.097
<v Speaker 1>mentality buff That's what's up. I'm not talking about you,

0:10:11.137 --> 0:10:14.457
<v Speaker 1>but what I've said about this. You and I've talked

0:10:14.497 --> 0:10:18.777
<v Speaker 1>about this privately before on the right. Government has only

0:10:18.817 --> 0:10:20.937
<v Speaker 1>grown for the last hundred years. So we've never had

0:10:20.937 --> 0:10:23.297
<v Speaker 1>a win. And people think we have, you know, because

0:10:23.297 --> 0:10:25.537
<v Speaker 1>while we had Trump, or we had Braggin or something

0:10:25.577 --> 0:10:28.337
<v Speaker 1>like that. Yeah, we've had some election wins. But if

0:10:28.337 --> 0:10:31.377
<v Speaker 1>you believe in limited government and all that, like we do,

0:10:31.777 --> 0:10:34.337
<v Speaker 1>you've never had a win in your life. What you've had.

0:10:34.457 --> 0:10:37.337
<v Speaker 1>What you think conservatism is, if that's the word we

0:10:37.577 --> 0:10:40.217
<v Speaker 1>still want to use for it, is complaining when they win.

0:10:40.657 --> 0:10:44.857
<v Speaker 1>That's not what we do. That's a hypocritical they're liars.

0:10:44.897 --> 0:10:48.777
<v Speaker 1>That's wrong. We think that's conservatism, is complaining when they win.

0:10:49.097 --> 0:10:52.417
<v Speaker 1>We don't even understand what winning is. If a corporation

0:10:52.577 --> 0:10:56.497
<v Speaker 1>declares war on your values. We have the biggest children's

0:10:56.577 --> 0:10:59.097
<v Speaker 1>corporation in the world. You could probably say in the

0:10:59.097 --> 0:11:02.257
<v Speaker 1>Whirlwind Disney. If they have decided they are going to

0:11:02.457 --> 0:11:08.177
<v Speaker 1>purposely pervert in groom children, they've declared war on your values.

0:11:08.337 --> 0:11:13.377
<v Speaker 1>If they've declared war, make war. Yes, what we're doing

0:11:13.537 --> 0:11:17.217
<v Speaker 1>is right, make them feel pain, make them fear you.

0:11:17.337 --> 0:11:19.897
<v Speaker 1>And we have these We have so many losers on

0:11:19.937 --> 0:11:22.657
<v Speaker 1>our side, and I honestly I sympathize with them who

0:11:22.777 --> 0:11:26.417
<v Speaker 1>just believe that the second you encroach, the second you

0:11:26.537 --> 0:11:29.097
<v Speaker 1>make them feel any pain at all, it's we've gone

0:11:29.137 --> 0:11:32.177
<v Speaker 1>too far. This isn't doing it the right way. We're

0:11:32.417 --> 0:11:34.177
<v Speaker 1>in a war for the future of the country. To

0:11:34.497 --> 0:11:37.497
<v Speaker 1>make war interesting that you use that term war, because

0:11:37.657 --> 0:11:40.857
<v Speaker 1>you're not the only one the chief Commissar of a

0:11:40.937 --> 0:11:46.217
<v Speaker 1>teacher's unions, the AFT Randy Weingarden chief Commissar should be

0:11:46.217 --> 0:11:49.057
<v Speaker 1>her official title. This is what she says about the

0:11:49.057 --> 0:11:52.937
<v Speaker 1>preental rights bill in Florida. Watch this same it. It's

0:11:52.977 --> 0:11:57.537
<v Speaker 1>this notion. And look where you know, we've been very

0:11:57.657 --> 0:12:00.097
<v Speaker 1>lucky in America, and we in some ways live in

0:12:00.097 --> 0:12:04.657
<v Speaker 1>a bubble for a long time. This is propaganda, This

0:12:04.737 --> 0:12:09.937
<v Speaker 1>is misinformation. This is the way in which war star,

0:12:10.337 --> 0:12:14.137
<v Speaker 1>This is the way in which hatred starts. This is

0:12:14.137 --> 0:12:17.257
<v Speaker 1>the way in which wars starts. She says, talking about

0:12:17.297 --> 0:12:22.417
<v Speaker 1>a parental rights bill that explicitly prevents five year olds

0:12:22.457 --> 0:12:24.657
<v Speaker 1>from being told, Oh, you think you're a boy, No,

0:12:24.737 --> 0:12:29.217
<v Speaker 1>you're actually a girl. Let's get you on some hormone therapy. Look,

0:12:29.737 --> 0:12:32.457
<v Speaker 1>it's been the greatest benefit for them. Buck. This is

0:12:32.497 --> 0:12:34.537
<v Speaker 1>something I know you talk about on your shows all

0:12:34.577 --> 0:12:38.097
<v Speaker 1>the time. The biggest win for the communists in this country.

0:12:38.297 --> 0:12:41.937
<v Speaker 1>It actually isn't even corporate America. It isn't Hollywood, it

0:12:42.057 --> 0:12:44.497
<v Speaker 1>isn't sports or whatever else you're mad they took over.

0:12:44.817 --> 0:12:48.217
<v Speaker 1>The biggest thing for them has been to educate the children.

0:12:48.537 --> 0:12:51.657
<v Speaker 1>They have taken children from well meaning parents for seven

0:12:51.777 --> 0:12:53.977
<v Speaker 1>eight hours a day, and they've done this for decades,

0:12:54.297 --> 0:12:57.217
<v Speaker 1>and they've taught these children to hate themselves, hate their parents,

0:12:57.217 --> 0:13:00.137
<v Speaker 1>hate their country. Now they've flat out moved that into

0:13:00.177 --> 0:13:04.177
<v Speaker 1>a really even more disgusting sexual realm. That is their

0:13:04.217 --> 0:13:07.257
<v Speaker 1>bread and butter. They're not trying, by the way, to

0:13:07.417 --> 0:13:11.217
<v Speaker 1>make your kids gay. They're trying to destroy your kids

0:13:11.257 --> 0:13:14.697
<v Speaker 1>mentally and physically, so your kids will hate you and

0:13:14.777 --> 0:13:17.617
<v Speaker 1>hate your country. Because a broken person is easy to

0:13:17.657 --> 0:13:20.977
<v Speaker 1>convert to communism. That is the goal they're trying to

0:13:21.017 --> 0:13:24.137
<v Speaker 1>break things. Because look, if you get some ten year

0:13:24.137 --> 0:13:26.497
<v Speaker 1>old boy who chops his penis off, it gets a

0:13:26.497 --> 0:13:29.657
<v Speaker 1>bunch of puberty blockers. What are the chances that boy,

0:13:29.777 --> 0:13:32.257
<v Speaker 1>if he even lives to eighteen or nineteen, becomes a

0:13:32.377 --> 0:13:35.697
<v Speaker 1>voting card carrying Democrat his whole life. They're about one hundred.

0:13:36.337 --> 0:13:38.617
<v Speaker 1>But if you have a child who's been top manners

0:13:38.657 --> 0:13:41.777
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't believe and that loves his country again not political,

0:13:41.977 --> 0:13:44.617
<v Speaker 1>loves this country, says yes, sir, no, ma'am, good kid.

0:13:44.857 --> 0:13:46.657
<v Speaker 1>What are the chances that child's going to be the

0:13:46.697 --> 0:13:50.177
<v Speaker 1>political enemy of the Democratic Party, They're very, very high.

0:13:50.217 --> 0:13:53.257
<v Speaker 1>They're simply recruiting new people in schools have been their

0:13:53.297 --> 0:13:56.257
<v Speaker 1>bread and butter, and threatening to take that away from

0:13:56.297 --> 0:13:59.097
<v Speaker 1>them is a huge threat to them. On this topic

0:13:59.377 --> 0:14:02.817
<v Speaker 1>of winning and actually pushing the advantage when the right

0:14:03.097 --> 0:14:05.457
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden actually has one or has done

0:14:05.497 --> 0:14:08.057
<v Speaker 1>this a few times. Recently has been a rough week,

0:14:08.497 --> 0:14:11.137
<v Speaker 1>rough month. You could argue a rough year for Biden

0:14:11.217 --> 0:14:14.137
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats. I think that much is clear. But the

0:14:14.257 --> 0:14:16.097
<v Speaker 1>term that you know right at the heart of this

0:14:16.097 --> 0:14:20.337
<v Speaker 1>whole Disney situation. And I still what was amazing to

0:14:20.377 --> 0:14:23.377
<v Speaker 1>me was remember where that that corporate executive referred to

0:14:23.417 --> 0:14:25.777
<v Speaker 1>one of her children as pan sexual, And I remember

0:14:25.777 --> 0:14:27.857
<v Speaker 1>I made some comment like I don't even know what

0:14:27.977 --> 0:14:31.537
<v Speaker 1>pan sexual means, and all these blue check journals jump

0:14:31.577 --> 0:14:33.577
<v Speaker 1>in like, maybe you shouldn't be such an idiot. I'm like, no,

0:14:33.737 --> 0:14:37.217
<v Speaker 1>maybe people shouldn't be lunatics. How about that? I mean,

0:14:37.577 --> 0:14:41.337
<v Speaker 1>we are seeing the left exposed in a way that

0:14:41.497 --> 0:14:44.257
<v Speaker 1>I think is almost surprising to some Democrats who don't

0:14:44.257 --> 0:14:46.617
<v Speaker 1>really know who's calling the shots and who's really running

0:14:46.857 --> 0:14:48.857
<v Speaker 1>the behind the scenes of the party, where the real

0:14:48.937 --> 0:14:51.097
<v Speaker 1>power centers are, you know, people that have been voting

0:14:51.097 --> 0:14:53.337
<v Speaker 1>Democrat because they're like unions for the last forty years

0:14:53.417 --> 0:14:58.697
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. But Jesse, the term groomer really upsets them.

0:14:59.097 --> 0:15:02.137
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's interesting. What you know, when they

0:15:02.177 --> 0:15:04.377
<v Speaker 1>call when they call conservatives, they call you, call me,

0:15:04.457 --> 0:15:07.737
<v Speaker 1>call anybody a racist for example. If that doesn't bother

0:15:07.857 --> 0:15:11.017
<v Speaker 1>me at all, insofar as it's just anderis and a lie.

0:15:11.377 --> 0:15:13.377
<v Speaker 1>It's annoying that they do it, but it doesn't really

0:15:13.497 --> 0:15:15.097
<v Speaker 1>you know, you don't get a real right when you

0:15:15.177 --> 0:15:17.497
<v Speaker 1>call some of these people on the left groomers, or

0:15:17.577 --> 0:15:21.817
<v Speaker 1>rather say that their policies go toward grooming, they get

0:15:22.057 --> 0:15:25.097
<v Speaker 1>really upset. And I wonder why you think that is

0:15:26.857 --> 0:15:30.497
<v Speaker 1>because it's effective, because it's true, and because it's effective.

0:15:30.617 --> 0:15:33.057
<v Speaker 1>And what's wild about this bug is it's not just

0:15:33.217 --> 0:15:35.537
<v Speaker 1>you and me a couple of right wingers Gavin on

0:15:35.617 --> 0:15:39.137
<v Speaker 1>your show about this, it's them in their own words.

0:15:39.217 --> 0:15:42.257
<v Speaker 1>Of course, libs of TikTok. That Twitter account's been famous

0:15:42.257 --> 0:15:45.617
<v Speaker 1>it's been all over the news lately. But Libs of TikTok,

0:15:46.737 --> 0:15:50.737
<v Speaker 1>that account doesn't do right wing commentary. That account takes

0:15:50.817 --> 0:15:53.737
<v Speaker 1>a video that a crazy teacher with pink here at

0:15:53.817 --> 0:15:58.257
<v Speaker 1>eight thousand piecings in their face, put on video, put

0:15:58.257 --> 0:16:01.217
<v Speaker 1>it out there for public consumption, and Libs of TikTok

0:16:01.337 --> 0:16:04.617
<v Speaker 1>simply takes it and puts it on Twitter. This is

0:16:04.657 --> 0:16:07.137
<v Speaker 1>what this teacher said. This is what this teacher said,

0:16:07.177 --> 0:16:11.177
<v Speaker 1>This is what this teacher said. These people, they thrive

0:16:11.377 --> 0:16:13.417
<v Speaker 1>in the darkness, and this is actually a great news.

0:16:13.497 --> 0:16:15.337
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the things they really screwed up.

0:16:15.497 --> 0:16:18.297
<v Speaker 1>They loved COVID, and they used COVID to destroy the

0:16:18.337 --> 0:16:20.097
<v Speaker 1>economy like they want to do, and they used it

0:16:20.137 --> 0:16:22.577
<v Speaker 1>to get Donald Trump out of office. But they did

0:16:22.577 --> 0:16:25.217
<v Speaker 1>not think about the fact that COVID and the school

0:16:25.257 --> 0:16:29.577
<v Speaker 1>closures brought school home for parents. Parents still thought kids

0:16:29.617 --> 0:16:33.337
<v Speaker 1>were learning reading, writing, and arithmetic in schools, when really

0:16:33.377 --> 0:16:37.297
<v Speaker 1>they were learning some really disgusting things. And the communists

0:16:37.337 --> 0:16:40.057
<v Speaker 1>did not see that coming parents. This has been a

0:16:40.057 --> 0:16:43.057
<v Speaker 1>shock for them. You don't have to call them anything

0:16:43.177 --> 0:16:47.217
<v Speaker 1>specific except for what they are. We're not calling them groomers.

0:16:47.537 --> 0:16:51.497
<v Speaker 1>They are groomers. If you're a kindergarten teacher and you're

0:16:51.577 --> 0:16:54.137
<v Speaker 1>upset that you can't tell a little boy that he

0:16:54.137 --> 0:16:57.817
<v Speaker 1>can become a little girl, you are a groomer. That's

0:16:57.817 --> 0:17:01.657
<v Speaker 1>what you are. Yes, It's interesting that the teachers unions,

0:17:01.697 --> 0:17:04.937
<v Speaker 1>as I say, the education commissars, were so excited at

0:17:04.977 --> 0:17:09.377
<v Speaker 1>the prospect of getting paid to have their members stay

0:17:09.417 --> 0:17:12.257
<v Speaker 1>home and do their jobs and abandoned children for months

0:17:12.257 --> 0:17:15.057
<v Speaker 1>on end. They didn't think through the second order of this,

0:17:15.177 --> 0:17:17.497
<v Speaker 1>the second step of this, which was going to be Oh,

0:17:17.577 --> 0:17:19.417
<v Speaker 1>but now parents will be home and they'll hear the

0:17:19.497 --> 0:17:22.257
<v Speaker 1>kind of indoctrination that your children will be subjected to.

0:17:22.537 --> 0:17:24.777
<v Speaker 1>If Republicans don't make this a huge issue going in

0:17:24.777 --> 0:17:26.777
<v Speaker 1>the mid terms, we honestly we don't even deserve to win.

0:17:26.817 --> 0:17:29.097
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that's where we are. If we

0:17:29.137 --> 0:17:33.137
<v Speaker 1>aren't willing to push on what is clearly a major

0:17:33.217 --> 0:17:37.017
<v Speaker 1>week spot on the left. What's the point, Jesse. Not

0:17:37.057 --> 0:17:39.657
<v Speaker 1>only all your one hundred percent right bucket is the issue.

0:17:39.657 --> 0:17:42.377
<v Speaker 1>There shouldn't be a Florida thing. There should be every

0:17:42.457 --> 0:17:45.977
<v Speaker 1>race in all fifty states that Senate, Congress, all the

0:17:46.017 --> 0:17:48.737
<v Speaker 1>way down to school board. Every Republican in the country.

0:17:48.777 --> 0:17:51.017
<v Speaker 1>If they're smart and you're happy to be morally right.

0:17:51.497 --> 0:17:54.097
<v Speaker 1>If they're smart, they'll be running on this issue. Even

0:17:54.257 --> 0:17:57.337
<v Speaker 1>Democrat parents, we have all the poll numbers. Even Democrat

0:17:57.377 --> 0:18:01.697
<v Speaker 1>parents do not want their kids getting sexually indoctrinated in kindergarten.

0:18:01.777 --> 0:18:04.337
<v Speaker 1>They do not. This is the biggest winner of an

0:18:04.377 --> 0:18:08.617
<v Speaker 1>issue in the world. And the Communists are so stupid

0:18:08.777 --> 0:18:12.937
<v Speaker 1>and so insane. They're pushing back hard and wading into it.

0:18:12.977 --> 0:18:14.977
<v Speaker 1>They should be shutting up about this and trying to

0:18:15.017 --> 0:18:18.137
<v Speaker 1>move away. They can't stop talking about it. Jen Saki's

0:18:18.457 --> 0:18:20.857
<v Speaker 1>still running her fat mouth on the news every single

0:18:20.937 --> 0:18:23.497
<v Speaker 1>day about how sad it is that we can't tell

0:18:23.577 --> 0:18:26.137
<v Speaker 1>little girls they can become little boys. This is wonderful.

0:18:26.177 --> 0:18:28.417
<v Speaker 1>It's a winner that gift wrapped for us. Take it.

0:18:28.937 --> 0:18:31.737
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Florida, Jesse, real quick, what's is this like

0:18:31.777 --> 0:18:35.657
<v Speaker 1>a Miami Weiss homage we got going on here? With

0:18:35.697 --> 0:18:38.137
<v Speaker 1>the T shirt with the blazer? What are you, don Johnson?

0:18:38.217 --> 0:18:41.137
<v Speaker 1>Did you get you some blonde hair dye? Are you

0:18:41.177 --> 0:18:43.537
<v Speaker 1>living on a houseboat and driving around in a ferrari?

0:18:43.657 --> 0:18:46.817
<v Speaker 1>What is okay? Okay, full disclosure. I have I have

0:18:46.857 --> 0:18:51.617
<v Speaker 1>to explain I was actually doing some radio work, and

0:18:52.537 --> 0:18:54.537
<v Speaker 1>I had forgotten. I was in the middle of something,

0:18:54.537 --> 0:18:56.617
<v Speaker 1>and I had forgotten I was doing your show. And

0:18:56.657 --> 0:18:58.857
<v Speaker 1>I looked at my photo and I thought, oh jeez,

0:18:58.857 --> 0:19:01.297
<v Speaker 1>I gotta do Buck now. And I didn't. I just

0:19:01.417 --> 0:19:03.777
<v Speaker 1>ran and grabbed the sport coded I knew as soon

0:19:03.817 --> 0:19:05.537
<v Speaker 1>as I sat down. I looked, and I thought, oh,

0:19:05.577 --> 0:19:07.897
<v Speaker 1>Buck's gonna say something. He's gonna say. And of course

0:19:07.937 --> 0:19:11.297
<v Speaker 1>you did. All right, Just go, just go lock up

0:19:11.297 --> 0:19:14.617
<v Speaker 1>the bad guys. Thanks for having us, Jesse. There we go.

0:19:18.897 --> 0:19:21.817
<v Speaker 1>Just weeks after it's launched, folks, CNN's parent company has

0:19:21.817 --> 0:19:25.337
<v Speaker 1>announced that the news network's long hyped streaming service, CNN Plus,

0:19:25.417 --> 0:19:27.937
<v Speaker 1>is going bye. By what a shame. We'll have more

0:19:28.017 --> 0:19:30.617
<v Speaker 1>on that with the editor of the Fourth Watch newsletter

0:19:30.617 --> 0:19:34.497
<v Speaker 1>and podcast, Steve Krackaur. Coming up after the break, Let's

0:19:34.497 --> 0:19:36.297
<v Speaker 1>talk about the newest sponsor here to hold the line,

0:19:36.337 --> 0:19:38.817
<v Speaker 1>the Silencer Shop. I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment.

0:19:38.857 --> 0:19:41.017
<v Speaker 1>For many gun owners, using a suppressor is a must.

0:19:41.257 --> 0:19:43.897
<v Speaker 1>They protect your hearing and improve your accuracy because it

0:19:43.977 --> 0:19:47.297
<v Speaker 1>minimizes recoil. Suppressors are one hundred percent legal and forty

0:19:47.337 --> 0:19:49.737
<v Speaker 1>three states, So if you want to practice safe, accurate shooting.

0:19:49.977 --> 0:19:51.977
<v Speaker 1>The best way is to get your suppressors through the

0:19:52.137 --> 0:19:54.737
<v Speaker 1>silencer Shop. They have a variety of suppressor starting at

0:19:54.737 --> 0:19:56.937
<v Speaker 1>just three hundred and sixty five dollars. My friends at

0:19:56.937 --> 0:19:59.537
<v Speaker 1>silencer Shop are the industry leaders for suppressors. They're a

0:19:59.577 --> 0:20:03.297
<v Speaker 1>Texas based company that excel at customer service. Each phone call, email,

0:20:03.337 --> 0:20:05.737
<v Speaker 1>direct messenger comment is answered promptly, and they treat you

0:20:05.777 --> 0:20:08.617
<v Speaker 1>like family. Their customer reviews are amazing. On trust Pilot,

0:20:08.697 --> 0:20:10.977
<v Speaker 1>Silencershop has an average rank a four point nine out

0:20:11.017 --> 0:20:13.577
<v Speaker 1>of five stars based on over twenty five thousand reviews.

0:20:13.857 --> 0:20:16.417
<v Speaker 1>We can get more details online at the Silencershop website

0:20:16.457 --> 0:20:20.177
<v Speaker 1>that silencershop dot com, silencershop dot com, or go on

0:20:20.217 --> 0:20:23.897
<v Speaker 1>Instagram at Instagram dot com slash Silencershop. We'll be right

0:20:23.937 --> 0:20:32.817
<v Speaker 1>back with more. Hold the line. It's a bad day

0:20:32.857 --> 0:20:37.417
<v Speaker 1>for streaming services today. Warner Brothers Discovery announced that CNN

0:20:37.457 --> 0:20:41.177
<v Speaker 1>Plus to recall it. CNN, the streaming service that was

0:20:41.217 --> 0:20:43.057
<v Speaker 1>hyped is one of the most significant developments in the

0:20:43.097 --> 0:20:46.737
<v Speaker 1>history of CNN, will shut down on April thirtieth, just

0:20:46.977 --> 0:20:50.977
<v Speaker 1>one month after it launched. Meanwhile, earlier this week, Netflix

0:20:51.057 --> 0:20:53.697
<v Speaker 1>announced that it suffered its first subscriber loss in more

0:20:53.697 --> 0:20:56.177
<v Speaker 1>than a decade in the first quarter of twenty twenty one,

0:20:56.217 --> 0:20:59.497
<v Speaker 1>with a net loss of two hundred thousand subscribers globally.

0:20:59.777 --> 0:21:02.457
<v Speaker 1>The news spooked investors, causing IT shares to plunge more

0:21:02.497 --> 0:21:06.297
<v Speaker 1>than twenty five percent in extended trading. What's going on here?

0:21:06.777 --> 0:21:11.257
<v Speaker 1>Netflix is projected to lose two million subscribe and CNN

0:21:11.297 --> 0:21:14.777
<v Speaker 1>Plus was canceled before it even got started. Correlation between

0:21:14.777 --> 0:21:17.137
<v Speaker 1>companies going woke then broke can't be ignored. Ken it

0:21:17.657 --> 0:21:19.857
<v Speaker 1>for people finally starting to see the left in big

0:21:19.897 --> 0:21:22.577
<v Speaker 1>text secret agenda? And is that costing the bottom line?

0:21:22.737 --> 0:21:26.657
<v Speaker 1>Let's ask editor of Fourth Watch newsletter and podcast, mister

0:21:26.657 --> 0:21:29.777
<v Speaker 1>Steve krak Our crack. Good to see it, hey bug,

0:21:29.857 --> 0:21:31.857
<v Speaker 1>thanks for having me on. What do you think, man?

0:21:31.937 --> 0:21:34.097
<v Speaker 1>What the heck is this? I mean, CNN spent over

0:21:34.217 --> 0:21:37.297
<v Speaker 1>three hundred million dollars preparing for the launch of CNN Plus.

0:21:38.617 --> 0:21:42.977
<v Speaker 1>Is this the biggest news media launch failure in history?

0:21:42.977 --> 0:21:44.777
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there are some other things that would maybe

0:21:44.777 --> 0:21:46.337
<v Speaker 1>be in the running, but I can't think of any

0:21:46.377 --> 0:21:49.137
<v Speaker 1>bigger can you? No? I think that this is this

0:21:49.217 --> 0:21:51.577
<v Speaker 1>is certainly up there. We are on day twenty three

0:21:51.617 --> 0:21:54.297
<v Speaker 1>of CNN Plus and it will shut down on day

0:21:54.417 --> 0:21:57.537
<v Speaker 1>thirty two. I mean it calls to mind Quibby, which

0:21:57.617 --> 0:22:02.977
<v Speaker 1>was that mobile video app that they spend even more money.

0:22:03.017 --> 0:22:05.417
<v Speaker 1>I believe it was seven hundred and fifty million on content,

0:22:05.737 --> 0:22:08.417
<v Speaker 1>but that at least lasted like six months. Nine months. No,

0:22:08.897 --> 0:22:11.857
<v Speaker 1>this is sing how fast it came down. But the

0:22:11.897 --> 0:22:13.577
<v Speaker 1>truth of the matter is, first of all, we could

0:22:13.617 --> 0:22:15.977
<v Speaker 1>talk about the content that was on there and why

0:22:16.057 --> 0:22:18.417
<v Speaker 1>it maybe wasn't so killing to a lot of people,

0:22:18.497 --> 0:22:21.857
<v Speaker 1>considering it was essentially the content that was on CNN

0:22:21.977 --> 0:22:24.617
<v Speaker 1>that people were already not very interested in for free,

0:22:24.617 --> 0:22:26.977
<v Speaker 1>and now they're charging an up charge of three to

0:22:27.097 --> 0:22:30.257
<v Speaker 1>five dollars for it. But also this launched it just

0:22:30.417 --> 0:22:34.097
<v Speaker 1>as Discovery now Warner Brothers Discovery took over the company.

0:22:34.177 --> 0:22:36.577
<v Speaker 1>This was a pet project of Jeff Zucker and the

0:22:36.617 --> 0:22:39.697
<v Speaker 1>old administration. They launched this thing, and now they're trying

0:22:39.697 --> 0:22:41.857
<v Speaker 1>to sustain it. The new company comes in and said,

0:22:41.897 --> 0:22:43.817
<v Speaker 1>this has none of our fingerprints on it. We didn't

0:22:43.817 --> 0:22:45.617
<v Speaker 1>want this thing to launch in the first place. And

0:22:45.617 --> 0:22:47.777
<v Speaker 1>then rather than just seeing this through for a few months,

0:22:47.777 --> 0:22:51.257
<v Speaker 1>they said, let's cut the cord. This is done. Pretty shocking,

0:22:51.297 --> 0:22:53.417
<v Speaker 1>but also you know, this is this is how business

0:22:53.457 --> 0:22:55.977
<v Speaker 1>gets done these days, so so I think there's districts.

0:22:56.097 --> 0:22:57.577
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to this on radio to day with

0:22:57.617 --> 0:23:00.217
<v Speaker 1>my COHS Clay, and I said, it seems to me

0:23:00.377 --> 0:23:04.817
<v Speaker 1>like this is actually a Jeff Zucker project, right, I mean,

0:23:04.857 --> 0:23:07.697
<v Speaker 1>this whole CNN plus had to be put together because

0:23:07.737 --> 0:23:10.657
<v Speaker 1>he just left a couple of months ago, so he

0:23:10.777 --> 0:23:13.177
<v Speaker 1>must have been the one. I mean, so so really

0:23:13.177 --> 0:23:15.537
<v Speaker 1>this is a It's almost like Zucker was the guy,

0:23:15.817 --> 0:23:19.697
<v Speaker 1>you know, driving the Titanic and he happened to switch

0:23:19.737 --> 0:23:24.057
<v Speaker 1>places with somebody else before it hit the iceberg, right exactly. Look,

0:23:24.097 --> 0:23:25.657
<v Speaker 1>this has been in the works for more than a

0:23:25.737 --> 0:23:28.777
<v Speaker 1>year now. They've been hiring up people building this thing,

0:23:28.817 --> 0:23:32.737
<v Speaker 1>building the technology, getting some marque names depending on how

0:23:32.737 --> 0:23:34.817
<v Speaker 1>you want to look at it, but certainly spending marquee

0:23:34.817 --> 0:23:37.977
<v Speaker 1>dollars to get talent from Box News and from and

0:23:38.017 --> 0:23:42.377
<v Speaker 1>from MSNBC and from NPR and from all other places.

0:23:42.697 --> 0:23:44.777
<v Speaker 1>They finally brought them in and this thing was set

0:23:44.777 --> 0:23:47.977
<v Speaker 1>to launch in March, and Jeff gets fired, essentially gets

0:23:47.977 --> 0:23:50.857
<v Speaker 1>pushed out in February. But rather than pump the brakes

0:23:50.857 --> 0:23:53.697
<v Speaker 1>at this point and started to think all right, maybe

0:23:53.697 --> 0:23:56.777
<v Speaker 1>this we need to why why we launched this without

0:23:56.857 --> 0:23:59.297
<v Speaker 1>having it everything kind of the clear leadership team in place.

0:23:59.337 --> 0:24:01.857
<v Speaker 1>They just rolled on ahead, put this thing out there.

0:24:01.897 --> 0:24:05.217
<v Speaker 1>And as we know, about one hundred fifty thousand subscribers

0:24:05.297 --> 0:24:09.097
<v Speaker 1>right now, approximately ten thousand people watching every day. Those

0:24:09.217 --> 0:24:12.457
<v Speaker 1>numbers are not very good. And yes, for only three

0:24:12.457 --> 0:24:15.377
<v Speaker 1>weeks in, but that is not a good launch, particularly

0:24:15.417 --> 0:24:17.777
<v Speaker 1>when you think about how much money they've they've invested

0:24:17.857 --> 0:24:21.017
<v Speaker 1>into this, and how much time and energy and marketing

0:24:21.017 --> 0:24:23.257
<v Speaker 1>they put into this. It's not off to a good start.

0:24:23.297 --> 0:24:25.577
<v Speaker 1>You would think that maybe they have a longer leash

0:24:25.697 --> 0:24:28.057
<v Speaker 1>with the new bosses, say, look at cutter losses now

0:24:28.217 --> 0:24:32.577
<v Speaker 1>it's done. Certainly a lot of schadenfreude on the right

0:24:32.617 --> 0:24:34.577
<v Speaker 1>about this. Let's be honest, we're having a good time

0:24:34.617 --> 0:24:38.497
<v Speaker 1>with it. There's a lot of memes, mister Krakauer that

0:24:38.657 --> 0:24:41.457
<v Speaker 1>go around today that are having some fun at CNN's expense.

0:24:41.497 --> 0:24:46.777
<v Speaker 1>People sharing some memorable moments from CNN pass to give

0:24:46.777 --> 0:24:50.377
<v Speaker 1>a sense as to why did Americans apparently not want

0:24:50.377 --> 0:24:53.057
<v Speaker 1>to pay for hard hitting interviews like this one with

0:24:53.257 --> 0:24:56.217
<v Speaker 1>Bryan Stelter. So fourt to two years later, did the

0:24:56.257 --> 0:25:02.257
<v Speaker 1>two of you now happily retired, Do you still watch CNN? Everybody? Yeah,

0:25:02.697 --> 0:25:06.017
<v Speaker 1>here's the difference though. Here's a difference though. I used

0:25:06.017 --> 0:25:10.817
<v Speaker 1>to anchor at CNN and now why just yellow at CNA. Yeah,

0:25:10.937 --> 0:25:14.297
<v Speaker 1>everybody does that too, Right, you can just email me, Dave,

0:25:14.337 --> 0:25:16.777
<v Speaker 1>that would be great feedback. We'll take your feedback anytime.

0:25:17.817 --> 0:25:20.257
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the team here just pull that one. We

0:25:20.257 --> 0:25:22.217
<v Speaker 1>could have a lot more fun with CNN stuff they've

0:25:22.217 --> 0:25:25.617
<v Speaker 1>said on the air. But what what was the premise here? Was?

0:25:25.657 --> 0:25:29.177
<v Speaker 1>What that a channel that struggles and has maybe a

0:25:29.337 --> 0:25:32.177
<v Speaker 1>third in the prime in primetime hours, a third the

0:25:32.257 --> 0:25:35.257
<v Speaker 1>viewership of say Fox News. It's it's competitor obviously from

0:25:35.257 --> 0:25:37.937
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the aisle, is going to become

0:25:37.977 --> 0:25:41.937
<v Speaker 1>a digital b myth? Why, like, what was the thinking here?

0:25:41.977 --> 0:25:44.137
<v Speaker 1>Just so everyone understands, I mean, because CNN is the

0:25:44.337 --> 0:25:46.017
<v Speaker 1>is the airport channel, right, It's the thing that like,

0:25:46.097 --> 0:25:48.057
<v Speaker 1>it's on shelf and so that's what you have to buy.

0:25:48.097 --> 0:25:50.337
<v Speaker 1>It's it's the moldy bread that's all you've got in

0:25:50.337 --> 0:25:53.097
<v Speaker 1>the store when you're stuck in an airport that's snowed in.

0:25:53.577 --> 0:25:57.417
<v Speaker 1>So what was the idea here? Yeah, and the glass

0:25:57.417 --> 0:25:59.657
<v Speaker 1>half full version that would be that when new major

0:25:59.737 --> 0:26:03.097
<v Speaker 1>news breaks a war in Ukraine, people turn on CNN

0:26:03.177 --> 0:26:05.417
<v Speaker 1>on the day to day basis. They don't have any

0:26:05.417 --> 0:26:08.537
<v Speaker 1>talent that moves the needle. What was the thing behind it?

0:26:08.617 --> 0:26:10.337
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea, But let me tell you there's

0:26:10.377 --> 0:26:13.737
<v Speaker 1>three major problems, and Brian Stelter, right there is very

0:26:13.817 --> 0:26:16.697
<v Speaker 1>much exemplifies one of them. Brian has a show on

0:26:16.737 --> 0:26:19.297
<v Speaker 1>Sunday that not that many people watch. Now he has

0:26:19.297 --> 0:26:21.417
<v Speaker 1>a show on CNN Plus every day of the week.

0:26:21.737 --> 0:26:23.497
<v Speaker 1>Jake Tapper has a show every day of the week,

0:26:23.897 --> 0:26:26.417
<v Speaker 1>and it's about the news. Now we show on CNN

0:26:26.417 --> 0:26:28.497
<v Speaker 1>Plus called Jake Tapper's Book Club, so you can hear

0:26:28.537 --> 0:26:30.857
<v Speaker 1>about the books that Jake Tapper brees. Anderson Cooper has

0:26:30.857 --> 0:26:32.897
<v Speaker 1>a news show on CNN. He has a show about

0:26:32.937 --> 0:26:37.337
<v Speaker 1>parenting on CNN Plus. Why who thinks that people need this?

0:26:37.417 --> 0:26:40.617
<v Speaker 1>I have absolutely no idea. Another major red flag is that, look,

0:26:40.697 --> 0:26:45.417
<v Speaker 1>CNN does have content that's discovery, like Stanley Tucci Show,

0:26:45.457 --> 0:26:47.817
<v Speaker 1>but none of these shows have hit the way that

0:26:47.857 --> 0:26:50.537
<v Speaker 1>like Anthony Bourdein's show has. And I mentioned Anthony Bourdein

0:26:50.817 --> 0:26:53.137
<v Speaker 1>because Stanley he died three or four years ago. But

0:26:53.297 --> 0:26:55.897
<v Speaker 1>he was a major part of the CNN plus marketing.

0:26:56.017 --> 0:26:58.377
<v Speaker 1>Just the last couple of months. They don't have the

0:26:58.457 --> 0:27:00.017
<v Speaker 1>kind of hits that they used to have when it

0:27:00.057 --> 0:27:02.417
<v Speaker 1>comes to these news is shows. So instead, yes, you

0:27:02.417 --> 0:27:04.577
<v Speaker 1>can go and get the Anthony Bourdaine archives, but he

0:27:04.737 --> 0:27:08.177
<v Speaker 1>is sadley passed away four years ago now, so that

0:27:08.857 --> 0:27:10.897
<v Speaker 1>I agree that he he Steve would have been the

0:27:10.897 --> 0:27:13.417
<v Speaker 1>closest thing that they had to a tent pole, a

0:27:13.497 --> 0:27:15.377
<v Speaker 1>kind of big name, big show that might have been

0:27:15.417 --> 0:27:19.217
<v Speaker 1>able to draw in other folks. Absolutely. I mean, I

0:27:19.217 --> 0:27:21.097
<v Speaker 1>think that's a model for what you might want with

0:27:21.137 --> 0:27:23.337
<v Speaker 1>a streaming service. It's a binge able show and you

0:27:23.337 --> 0:27:26.097
<v Speaker 1>can watch multiple episodes. It's not tied to news at

0:27:26.097 --> 0:27:30.337
<v Speaker 1>the moment. It's a lot different than say, watching Chris

0:27:30.337 --> 0:27:34.777
<v Speaker 1>Wallace interview someone like Diane ben Furstenberg for an hour.

0:27:35.017 --> 0:27:37.537
<v Speaker 1>Why I have absolutely no idea? Do we know? I

0:27:37.577 --> 0:27:39.897
<v Speaker 1>got to ask you, so, Steve Justserver says, you used

0:27:39.897 --> 0:27:41.697
<v Speaker 1>to Steve knows CNN, used to work at CNN. He

0:27:42.097 --> 0:27:44.777
<v Speaker 1>knows the ropes over there very well. Do you think

0:27:44.777 --> 0:27:47.137
<v Speaker 1>they're going to pay out Chris Wallace is twelve million

0:27:47.217 --> 0:27:49.937
<v Speaker 1>or whatever obscene salary they're giving him. How does that work?

0:27:49.977 --> 0:27:54.457
<v Speaker 1>I figure probably right, it's a talent contract. I would

0:27:54.457 --> 0:27:56.857
<v Speaker 1>say that the talent is going to get paid out. Yeah,

0:27:56.857 --> 0:28:00.177
<v Speaker 1>I think these Chris Wallace for sure. I'm curious about

0:28:00.177 --> 0:28:02.457
<v Speaker 1>people like Don Lemon who launched a talk show called

0:28:02.457 --> 0:28:04.657
<v Speaker 1>The Don Lemon Show and it aired one episode and

0:28:04.737 --> 0:28:07.257
<v Speaker 1>now it's done. What does he I'm sure you have

0:28:07.377 --> 0:28:11.577
<v Speaker 1>the clause in the contract that and now I've got

0:28:11.577 --> 0:28:13.817
<v Speaker 1>to talk show even if it airs or not. And

0:28:14.137 --> 0:28:16.857
<v Speaker 1>I have to say, I mean, look, CNN plus hired

0:28:17.097 --> 0:28:21.337
<v Speaker 1>more than two hundred people to work on now they

0:28:21.377 --> 0:28:24.857
<v Speaker 1>have said they will essentially pay nine months severance, which

0:28:24.897 --> 0:28:27.457
<v Speaker 1>is very nice for maybe a low level production assistant

0:28:27.457 --> 0:28:29.217
<v Speaker 1>that thought they were coming on to this new big

0:28:29.257 --> 0:28:31.937
<v Speaker 1>thing and it lasted for four weeks and now they're

0:28:31.937 --> 0:28:33.817
<v Speaker 1>out of a job. They do have nine months severance,

0:28:34.057 --> 0:28:38.737
<v Speaker 1>but it's a total disaster. And look, I noticed last

0:28:38.777 --> 0:28:40.897
<v Speaker 1>week that something was wrong when the at scene and

0:28:40.937 --> 0:28:43.177
<v Speaker 1>Twitter account, which you mentioned. I used to work at CNN.

0:28:43.257 --> 0:28:45.257
<v Speaker 1>One of my jobs was running the at scene on

0:28:45.297 --> 0:28:48.257
<v Speaker 1>Twitter account fifty eight million followers. You know how many

0:28:48.257 --> 0:28:51.017
<v Speaker 1>times the at scene and Twitter account mentioned CNN plus

0:28:51.697 --> 0:28:56.377
<v Speaker 1>zero zero times they have mentioned their own streaming channel.

0:28:56.417 --> 0:28:59.377
<v Speaker 1>There was no marketing coordination behind this. There was no

0:28:59.457 --> 0:29:02.217
<v Speaker 1>effort to sample content or to get it out into

0:29:02.257 --> 0:29:06.097
<v Speaker 1>different streams. It was a mess from I know you

0:29:06.177 --> 0:29:09.417
<v Speaker 1>have a fantastic media newsletter you put out, but I

0:29:09.657 --> 0:29:13.457
<v Speaker 1>do think fit the most prominent media critic in America

0:29:14.657 --> 0:29:17.097
<v Speaker 1>needed to weigh in on this one as well, former

0:29:17.097 --> 0:29:21.537
<v Speaker 1>President Donald Trump. So here's what he says. Congratulations to

0:29:21.657 --> 0:29:25.457
<v Speaker 1>CNN plus other decision to immediately fold for lack of

0:29:25.577 --> 0:29:28.497
<v Speaker 1>ratings or viewers in any way, shape or form. It

0:29:28.537 --> 0:29:31.057
<v Speaker 1>was like an empty desert out there. Despite spending one

0:29:31.097 --> 0:29:33.377
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of millions of dollars. In any event, there's just

0:29:33.417 --> 0:29:35.457
<v Speaker 1>one more piece of CNN and fake news you don't

0:29:35.457 --> 0:29:38.057
<v Speaker 1>want to bother with anymore. I mean, Steve, I think

0:29:38.177 --> 0:29:41.737
<v Speaker 1>I think he pretty much nails the key points. He does. Yeah,

0:29:41.977 --> 0:29:43.857
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the great thing about Donald Trump is that

0:29:43.937 --> 0:29:47.617
<v Speaker 1>he was such a media critic and a I mean,

0:29:47.657 --> 0:29:49.257
<v Speaker 1>I wish that was a tweet now that would have

0:29:49.297 --> 0:29:52.257
<v Speaker 1>been been going virals. Sadly he can't tweet. No, I

0:29:53.017 --> 0:29:55.657
<v Speaker 1>he nailed it. Yeah, it was. It was doomed kind

0:29:55.697 --> 0:29:57.697
<v Speaker 1>of from the beginning. It did never really made a

0:29:57.697 --> 0:29:59.417
<v Speaker 1>ton of sense. I think about you know, we mentioned

0:29:59.457 --> 0:30:02.377
<v Speaker 1>Chris Wallace is like this big splashy higher casey hunt

0:30:02.417 --> 0:30:05.817
<v Speaker 1>from MSNBC. Rex Chapman, the guy who has a lot

0:30:05.857 --> 0:30:08.057
<v Speaker 1>of tweets so that he sort of steals from other

0:30:08.097 --> 0:30:11.777
<v Speaker 1>people and other memes. It was. I watched a couple

0:30:11.817 --> 0:30:14.297
<v Speaker 1>of clips of his show. It's just painful. I mean,

0:30:14.337 --> 0:30:16.337
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they ever thought Grex Cheman as

0:30:16.337 --> 0:30:18.257
<v Speaker 1>a Twitter followers, so let's give him a TV show,

0:30:18.497 --> 0:30:21.137
<v Speaker 1>but without actually seeing how he is on TV. It's

0:30:21.137 --> 0:30:25.457
<v Speaker 1>just it was ill conceived and it was clearly they

0:30:25.497 --> 0:30:26.857
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of money to do this thing, three

0:30:26.977 --> 0:30:30.337
<v Speaker 1>hundred million dollars and that's exciting, and you can fire

0:30:30.377 --> 0:30:32.617
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, but you have to have content

0:30:32.657 --> 0:30:35.337
<v Speaker 1>you have and this honestly connects to Netflix. I mean,

0:30:35.857 --> 0:30:38.617
<v Speaker 1>part of the problem is with what's declining right now

0:30:38.857 --> 0:30:42.177
<v Speaker 1>is the quality of the content. There's so much content

0:30:42.177 --> 0:30:44.377
<v Speaker 1>out there now. You have to be good, and I

0:30:44.417 --> 0:30:46.457
<v Speaker 1>know that's subjective, but you have to be good, and

0:30:46.497 --> 0:30:48.497
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot of woke crap. I just actually want

0:30:48.537 --> 0:30:50.657
<v Speaker 1>something that lets my brain relax and turn off at

0:30:50.697 --> 0:30:52.377
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, not that tells me that,

0:30:52.457 --> 0:30:55.977
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's time for transgender youth indoctrination or something.

0:30:56.017 --> 0:30:57.937
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, and you know they'll do it in like

0:30:58.217 --> 0:31:01.537
<v Speaker 1>movies about the ninth century Viking conquest of England. I mean,

0:31:01.537 --> 0:31:03.697
<v Speaker 1>they're really they're really going all out with this stuff

0:31:03.737 --> 0:31:06.297
<v Speaker 1>these days. Crack, we'll have you back. Good to see him,

0:31:06.297 --> 0:31:10.937
<v Speaker 1>my man, Thanks for being here. Thank you. Democrats are

0:31:10.937 --> 0:31:13.137
<v Speaker 1>starting to sweat as a number of one safe house

0:31:13.297 --> 0:31:15.617
<v Speaker 1>races have moved to the toss up column and laid

0:31:15.657 --> 0:31:17.537
<v Speaker 1>his polls. But come back in a moment here with

0:31:17.577 --> 0:31:20.257
<v Speaker 1>commentary edit at the Washington Examiner, con Carol, he's going

0:31:20.297 --> 0:31:23.097
<v Speaker 1>to give us take on the coming storm. Look, you know,

0:31:23.177 --> 0:31:25.297
<v Speaker 1>I'm skeptical by nature when I first found out about

0:31:25.297 --> 0:31:27.777
<v Speaker 1>this thing called hometittlefafts, Like, come on, thieves really can

<v Speaker 1>steal your home online? Well, yeah, actually they can. Cyber

0:31:31.497 --> 0:31:33.817

0:31:33.817 --> 0:31:35.777
<v Speaker 1>home online and then take over as a new owner.

0:31:36.257 --> 0:31:38.417
<v Speaker 1>Turns out that this is not that difficult to do.

0:31:38.457 --> 0:31:41.417
<v Speaker 1>The FBI says it's a rapidly growing crime, and you're

0:31:41.457 --> 0:31:45.777
<v Speaker 1>not covered by usual identity theft programs. Home title lock

0:32:14.937 --> 0:32:18.377
<v Speaker 1>elections draw closer and Biden's approval rating is dropping by

0:32:18.417 --> 0:32:20.737
<v Speaker 1>the day, many seats in the House and Senate the

0:32:20.737 --> 0:32:23.897
<v Speaker 1>Democrats once thought were safe seemed to be up for grabs.

0:32:24.257 --> 0:32:28.417
<v Speaker 1>Even CNN, a reliable cheerleader for Democrats, is starting to

0:32:28.497 --> 0:32:31.097
<v Speaker 1>sound the alarm bells and the possibility that Democrats could

0:32:31.217 --> 0:32:35.137
<v Speaker 1>get hammered in November. Check out this headline from CNN Politics.

0:32:35.177 --> 0:32:39.017
<v Speaker 1>The House playing field is a playing field rather sorry,

0:32:39.057 --> 0:32:42.377
<v Speaker 1>the house playing field is coming into focus and it's

0:32:42.457 --> 0:32:45.257
<v Speaker 1>not a pretty picture for Democrats. So will we see

0:32:45.297 --> 0:32:48.937
<v Speaker 1>that red wave come crashing down this November? I mean

0:32:48.937 --> 0:32:51.777
<v Speaker 1>out to discuss where we are. Commentary editor at The

0:32:51.777 --> 0:32:55.737
<v Speaker 1>Washington Examiner con Carl con good to see it, read

0:32:55.777 --> 0:32:58.217
<v Speaker 1>to be here, buddy. So look, I know we're gonna

0:32:58.217 --> 0:33:00.177
<v Speaker 1>be talking to this a lot in the months ahead,

0:33:00.257 --> 0:33:03.737
<v Speaker 1>and everyone's gonna be saying, well, it's a lifetime in politics, YadA, YadA.

0:33:04.057 --> 0:33:06.657
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats are already starting to look for the panic

0:33:06.697 --> 0:33:08.257
<v Speaker 1>button a little bit. So I want you to put

0:33:08.297 --> 0:33:10.497
<v Speaker 1>this into context. I mean, how bad is it looking

0:33:10.537 --> 0:33:12.537
<v Speaker 1>for them at this stage? Because I actually think it's

0:33:12.577 --> 0:33:15.617
<v Speaker 1>going to get worse for them too. Yeah, I mean

0:33:15.657 --> 0:33:19.617
<v Speaker 1>it definitely could. Mind's about to totally repeal Title forty two.

0:33:19.657 --> 0:33:22.097
<v Speaker 1>There's going to be a huge border crisis. There's a

0:33:22.097 --> 0:33:24.977
<v Speaker 1>lot of bad news yet to come. But even before that,

0:33:25.377 --> 0:33:26.977
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're looking at a house it's going to

0:33:27.057 --> 0:33:29.777
<v Speaker 1>lose twenty to thirty seats, which would give a strong

0:33:29.817 --> 0:33:34.377
<v Speaker 1>Republican majority in twenty twenty four. So here's the generic

0:33:34.537 --> 0:33:38.697
<v Speaker 1>ballot according to Rasmussen, or Republican versus Democrat. This congressional

0:33:38.737 --> 0:33:43.017
<v Speaker 1>ballot forty seven percent, Republican Democrat thirty nine percent. Now,

0:33:43.097 --> 0:33:45.737
<v Speaker 1>we would usually expect going into a midterm election that

0:33:45.777 --> 0:33:47.857
<v Speaker 1>the party in power, which is the Democrat party, is

0:33:47.857 --> 0:33:51.057
<v Speaker 1>going to be at something of a disadvantage. But how

0:33:51.057 --> 0:33:54.857
<v Speaker 1>does this lineup come with what we've seen before at

0:33:54.897 --> 0:33:57.777
<v Speaker 1>this stage a midterm, in the sorry midterm election, in

0:33:57.777 --> 0:34:01.657
<v Speaker 1>the first term of a new president. Are these numbers

0:34:01.697 --> 0:34:03.897
<v Speaker 1>that look like what we saw going into twenty ten

0:34:04.057 --> 0:34:06.377
<v Speaker 1>with the historic Tea party wave or could it be

0:34:06.417 --> 0:34:10.577
<v Speaker 1>even bigger? How do you engage it? It's it's bigger,

0:34:10.657 --> 0:34:14.217
<v Speaker 1>it's much bigger. The party out of power always looks good.

0:34:14.537 --> 0:34:18.097
<v Speaker 1>But on the generic ballot question, generally Republicans fare worse

0:34:18.217 --> 0:34:21.337
<v Speaker 1>than Democrats, So that the Republicans are eight points ahead

0:34:21.377 --> 0:34:23.977
<v Speaker 1>already in this point points to a huge year. There

0:34:23.977 --> 0:34:25.937
<v Speaker 1>are way ahead of where they were in twenty ten

0:34:26.017 --> 0:34:28.857
<v Speaker 1>and in twenty fourteen. So if you were just looking

0:34:28.857 --> 0:34:31.017
<v Speaker 1>at the numbers you didn't know anything else, you would

0:34:31.057 --> 0:34:34.257
<v Speaker 1>expect this coming twenty twenty two to be worse for

0:34:34.337 --> 0:34:37.897
<v Speaker 1>Democrats than twenty ten or twenty fourteen. The way here

0:34:38.017 --> 0:34:43.057
<v Speaker 1>is some of the Democrat party line starting to pull apart.

0:34:43.097 --> 0:34:46.257
<v Speaker 1>I mean, people are realizing they got a big problem here.

0:34:46.337 --> 0:34:50.057
<v Speaker 1>Here is Stephen Ratner, who's a former Obama advisor, who

0:34:50.097 --> 0:34:53.537
<v Speaker 1>was on MSNBC and he shared some numbers for the

0:34:53.537 --> 0:34:55.937
<v Speaker 1>public's ability to trust one party or the other with

0:34:55.977 --> 0:34:58.737
<v Speaker 1>a variety of topics. Watch this one, people ask which

0:34:58.857 --> 0:35:01.457
<v Speaker 1>party would you trust to handle an issue more in Congress,

0:35:01.977 --> 0:35:05.977
<v Speaker 1>and on inflation, it was the Republicans forty six to

0:35:06.097 --> 0:35:10.377
<v Speaker 1>thirty two, so I spread up fourteen points. National charity

0:35:10.417 --> 0:35:12.297
<v Speaker 1>of all things it was forty eight to thirty five,

0:35:12.337 --> 0:35:14.977
<v Speaker 1>a spread of thirteen points. And on the economy it

0:35:15.017 --> 0:35:17.577
<v Speaker 1>was forty seven to thirty six, to spread of eleven points.

0:35:18.017 --> 0:35:21.817
<v Speaker 1>And so they're simply not a belief in among the

0:35:21.857 --> 0:35:25.337
<v Speaker 1>American people that the Democrats are well equipped to handle

0:35:25.497 --> 0:35:28.897
<v Speaker 1>pretty much any problem at the moment. Unfortunately, it seems

0:35:28.937 --> 0:35:32.857
<v Speaker 1>almost like the perception is settling in across America. Democrats

0:35:33.337 --> 0:35:37.057
<v Speaker 1>not good at governing, good at whining about about January

0:35:37.097 --> 0:35:40.377
<v Speaker 1>sixth all day long, not about actually running the country.

0:35:41.337 --> 0:35:44.297
<v Speaker 1>It's well earned. Look, I mean, this is a president

0:35:44.377 --> 0:35:47.537
<v Speaker 1>who butchered the job in Afghanistans, who has no credibility

0:35:47.537 --> 0:35:50.337
<v Speaker 1>on foreign policy, so while Ukraine's not helping him, this

0:35:50.497 --> 0:35:53.017
<v Speaker 1>is a president that created the border crisis by ending

0:35:53.057 --> 0:35:55.457
<v Speaker 1>Trump's remain in Mexican policy. This is a president that

0:35:55.497 --> 0:35:59.457
<v Speaker 1>created the inflation crisis by having a huge trillion dollars

0:35:59.497 --> 0:36:03.057
<v Speaker 1>in on this bill that was completely a unipartisan All

0:36:03.097 --> 0:36:05.897
<v Speaker 1>of these problems are of his own creation. They've earned

0:36:06.097 --> 0:36:08.457
<v Speaker 1>these bad numbers and they're going to get justice in

0:36:08.457 --> 0:36:11.137
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. What do you think are some of

0:36:11.177 --> 0:36:13.737
<v Speaker 1>the races Senate side or if you think one on

0:36:13.777 --> 0:36:17.177
<v Speaker 1>the House side is particularly noteworthy as a as a

0:36:17.217 --> 0:36:20.297
<v Speaker 1>bellweather as as something that's indicative of a larger trend

0:36:21.097 --> 0:36:23.297
<v Speaker 1>right now, I know we still have primaries to go with,

0:36:23.417 --> 0:36:26.817
<v Speaker 1>but in terms of contested states or contested districts, what

0:36:27.177 --> 0:36:30.217
<v Speaker 1>are you watching as Oh, if if Republicans start to

0:36:30.297 --> 0:36:32.897
<v Speaker 1>run the table with the following, it's going to be

0:36:32.937 --> 0:36:34.657
<v Speaker 1>a red wave the likes we've never seen. I mean,

0:36:34.657 --> 0:36:37.497
<v Speaker 1>what are the states you're looking at? Sure, I'm a

0:36:37.657 --> 0:36:40.137
<v Speaker 1>Senate guy from probably going to big senate state Senate

0:36:40.177 --> 0:36:42.937
<v Speaker 1>races and not House races, but I think you know,

0:36:42.937 --> 0:36:47.057
<v Speaker 1>if you look at someplace like New Hampshire or Arizona

0:36:47.257 --> 0:36:52.017
<v Speaker 1>where Hassan is barely hanging on, if that state goes red,

0:36:52.177 --> 0:36:53.657
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be just a huge year or for

0:36:53.697 --> 0:36:56.337
<v Speaker 1>the Republicans. And then if you want to stretch it

0:36:56.377 --> 0:36:59.177
<v Speaker 1>even just a little bit further, of course, in Nevada

0:36:59.257 --> 0:37:03.097
<v Speaker 1>you have Mortest Castro out there and she's falling behind.

0:37:03.497 --> 0:37:05.337
<v Speaker 1>But right next door or not right next or two

0:37:05.337 --> 0:37:08.057
<v Speaker 1>states over in Colorado, then it's up as well. And

0:37:08.777 --> 0:37:10.657
<v Speaker 1>if it's a big enough way, I think you can

0:37:10.737 --> 0:37:14.177
<v Speaker 1>see them losing in the states like Colorado too. Here

0:37:14.377 --> 0:37:17.977
<v Speaker 1>is the mainstream media or the democraticle on corporate media

0:37:18.017 --> 0:37:20.937
<v Speaker 1>as I prefer to call them, showing how worried they

0:37:20.977 --> 0:37:24.377
<v Speaker 1>are about what they're calling a Trump takeover. Of course

0:37:24.457 --> 0:37:26.737
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty four, based on how these mid terms, well,

0:37:26.737 --> 0:37:29.377
<v Speaker 1>they're assuming it'll be Trump. Watch this. A part of

0:37:29.377 --> 0:37:30.937
<v Speaker 1>what we have to do here in the mid term

0:37:31.497 --> 0:37:34.617
<v Speaker 1>is portray a message of unfinished business. We have to

0:37:34.657 --> 0:37:36.897
<v Speaker 1>put Trump back on the ballot. But that means that

0:37:36.977 --> 0:37:39.217
<v Speaker 1>does not mean that that we get to make every

0:37:39.217 --> 0:37:42.137
<v Speaker 1>Republican steam like Trump. It means that we have to

0:37:42.217 --> 0:37:46.377
<v Speaker 1>literally explain that if if Republicans win the House and

0:37:46.457 --> 0:37:49.257
<v Speaker 1>the Senate in twenty twenty two, they will reinstall a

0:37:49.297 --> 0:37:54.217
<v Speaker 1>Trump in twenty twenty four. I mean, first of all,

0:37:54.257 --> 0:37:57.097
<v Speaker 1>like no, but beyond that, also, that's not going to

0:37:57.177 --> 0:38:00.257
<v Speaker 1>help them going to the mid terms. They have no

0:38:00.297 --> 0:38:02.737
<v Speaker 1>other playbook, right, I mean, if you look at the

0:38:02.737 --> 0:38:05.177
<v Speaker 1>congressional calendar. All that they have left to do is

0:38:05.217 --> 0:38:08.217
<v Speaker 1>the Juniory six committee. That's the there only play that

0:38:08.257 --> 0:38:10.257
<v Speaker 1>they have. And so that's why you saw you know,

0:38:10.337 --> 0:38:12.657
<v Speaker 1>news breaking this week where they tried to shame you know,

0:38:12.737 --> 0:38:15.657
<v Speaker 1>Chip Roy and Mike Lee with text to Mark Meadows.

0:38:15.697 --> 0:38:18.817
<v Speaker 1>The only thing they have is January sixth, and so

0:38:18.857 --> 0:38:20.737
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna try to make as much hay, as much

0:38:20.817 --> 0:38:23.257
<v Speaker 1>drama as again at the January six committee, and it's

0:38:23.257 --> 0:38:26.737
<v Speaker 1>just not gonna work. Amazing to watch the solid playout.

0:38:26.777 --> 0:38:29.217
<v Speaker 1>What's your prediction. We'll play this back for you after

0:38:29.217 --> 0:38:32.897
<v Speaker 1>the election for Senate because you're a Senate guy, Senate

0:38:32.937 --> 0:38:35.497
<v Speaker 1>pick up, gop. What are we looking at? In your mind?

0:38:37.057 --> 0:38:42.137
<v Speaker 1>I say they get fifty four. Fifty four, that'd be nice,

0:38:42.177 --> 0:38:44.257
<v Speaker 1>that'd be a breaking, nice, solid majority. Or do you

0:38:44.257 --> 0:38:45.737
<v Speaker 1>want to give us a house number or you want

0:38:45.737 --> 0:38:48.577
<v Speaker 1>to hold back on that one. No, No, I'll go

0:38:48.577 --> 0:38:53.137
<v Speaker 1>ahead and say, um, twenty five. Wow, I think I

0:38:53.137 --> 0:38:55.457
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna be more like fifty. So calm, We'll

0:38:55.497 --> 0:38:57.457
<v Speaker 1>have to see. We'll have to see. I mean, I'm

0:38:57.457 --> 0:39:01.057
<v Speaker 1>a hopeful guy. What can I tell you? Let's let's see.

0:39:01.097 --> 0:39:05.737
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much man, good to see you anytime. When

0:39:05.777 --> 0:39:09.217
<v Speaker 1>reporters call out Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on the soaring

0:39:09.257 --> 0:39:12.017
<v Speaker 1>crime and just dysfunction in her city, she tells them

0:39:12.257 --> 0:39:16.177
<v Speaker 1>she will not dignify their comments. Oh yeah, that's right.

0:39:16.537 --> 0:39:19.217
<v Speaker 1>We got that story coming from the Windy City and more.

0:39:19.457 --> 0:39:28.377
<v Speaker 1>In quick hits up neck, Joe Biden seems confused when

0:39:28.417 --> 0:39:30.657
<v Speaker 1>answering a question about Title forty two and the White

0:39:30.657 --> 0:39:34.017
<v Speaker 1>House doubles down on keeping America dependent on for an oil.

0:39:34.057 --> 0:39:36.697
<v Speaker 1>We have those stories to quick hit. Let's get right

0:39:36.777 --> 0:39:42.017
<v Speaker 1>to it. So Joe Biden was asked about Title ford.

0:39:42.097 --> 0:39:45.297
<v Speaker 1>Now he did. To be fair, he did clarify this today.

0:39:45.297 --> 0:39:47.217
<v Speaker 1>He was asked about this yesterday. But we do want

0:39:47.217 --> 0:39:48.617
<v Speaker 1>to show you. Oh I'm sorry, I asked about this

0:39:48.617 --> 0:39:51.377
<v Speaker 1>earlier today and then had to clarify it later in

0:39:51.417 --> 0:39:54.137
<v Speaker 1>the day. But here's what the Commander in chief sounded

0:39:54.137 --> 0:39:55.777
<v Speaker 1>like when he was asked at a a press conference about

0:39:55.777 --> 0:40:00.177
<v Speaker 1>Title forty two, and he clearly thought that he just

0:40:00.257 --> 0:40:01.737
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what the hell he's talking about. Watch this

0:40:04.897 --> 0:40:09.417
<v Speaker 1>laying no what I'm considering it is continuing to hear

0:40:09.497 --> 0:40:13.257
<v Speaker 1>from my First of all, there's going to be an

0:40:13.257 --> 0:40:17.817
<v Speaker 1>appeal by the Justice Department, because as a matter of principle,

0:40:17.937 --> 0:40:19.377
<v Speaker 1>we want to be able to be in a position

0:40:19.417 --> 0:40:23.897
<v Speaker 1>where if in fact it is strongly concluded by the

0:40:24.617 --> 0:40:28.457
<v Speaker 1>scientists that we need a Title forty two, that we

0:40:28.617 --> 0:40:31.057
<v Speaker 1>be able to do that, but there has been no

0:40:31.137 --> 0:40:35.457
<v Speaker 1>decision on extending Title forty two. You can just sort

0:40:35.457 --> 0:40:38.177
<v Speaker 1>of see the wires getting crossed in real time where

0:40:38.817 --> 0:40:43.297
<v Speaker 1>he thinks he's talking about the CDC weighing in on

0:40:43.337 --> 0:40:46.817
<v Speaker 1>the mask mandate and the DOJ bringing a challenge to

0:40:46.857 --> 0:40:49.937
<v Speaker 1>the judge in Florida who overturned it, but he actually

0:40:49.937 --> 0:40:52.257
<v Speaker 1>then gets confused with Title forty two, which is also

0:40:52.297 --> 0:40:54.897
<v Speaker 1>a CDC authority that has to do with the Southern border,

0:40:55.217 --> 0:40:58.817
<v Speaker 1>which the CDC is not currently involved in, trying to

0:40:58.857 --> 0:41:02.777
<v Speaker 1>weigh in on and have the DOJ overturned. Because it's just,

0:41:02.937 --> 0:41:06.577
<v Speaker 1>you know, just all scrambled up there, folks. He's the

0:41:06.577 --> 0:41:09.097
<v Speaker 1>commander in chief. Though Democrats thought this was really a

0:41:09.137 --> 0:41:14.297
<v Speaker 1>really good idea, Biden's climate advisor Gina McCarthy says Biden

0:41:14.617 --> 0:41:17.537
<v Speaker 1>remains absolutely committed to not moving forward with an additional

0:41:17.657 --> 0:41:20.937
<v Speaker 1>drilling on public lands. Watch this one. President Biden remains

0:41:21.057 --> 0:41:26.057
<v Speaker 1>absolutely committed to not moving forward with additional drilling on

0:41:26.177 --> 0:41:29.257
<v Speaker 1>public lands. The challenge that we faced was that we

0:41:29.337 --> 0:41:32.737
<v Speaker 1>had a court that ordered that a new lease to

0:41:32.777 --> 0:41:35.897
<v Speaker 1>be done. The Department of Energy had no choice but

0:41:36.017 --> 0:41:39.257
<v Speaker 1>to put it out. But they also find found ways

0:41:39.297 --> 0:41:42.217
<v Speaker 1>to reduce the size of that in its impact. And

0:41:42.257 --> 0:41:44.737
<v Speaker 1>we'll keep doing what we need to do to appeal

0:41:44.817 --> 0:41:48.137
<v Speaker 1>those decisions and to make our case in a court.

0:41:50.097 --> 0:41:52.697
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they keep telling you that they're going to

0:41:52.737 --> 0:41:55.057
<v Speaker 1>do everything they can to bring down the price of gas,

0:41:55.057 --> 0:41:59.137
<v Speaker 1>but they actually aren't interested in doing that. They're interested

0:41:59.137 --> 0:42:01.937
<v Speaker 1>in saying that because it's politically important for them, but

0:42:01.937 --> 0:42:05.017
<v Speaker 1>they would rather continue the charade of oh yeah, just

0:42:05.057 --> 0:42:08.457
<v Speaker 1>give us some time, will we'll figure this out when

0:42:08.697 --> 0:42:11.897
<v Speaker 1>there actually comes to decision making no interest. This is

0:42:11.937 --> 0:42:14.137
<v Speaker 1>honestly one of my favorite moments of the week. Laura

0:42:14.217 --> 0:42:17.537
<v Speaker 1>Lightfoot is a terrible mayor. It's just a fact. Okay,

0:42:17.537 --> 0:42:19.937
<v Speaker 1>it's obvious. Everybody knows this. Even Democrats know that she's

0:42:19.977 --> 0:42:22.977
<v Speaker 1>just really bad at the job. Chicago is in rough shape.

0:42:22.977 --> 0:42:24.697
<v Speaker 1>The crime is completely out of control, It's worse than

0:42:24.737 --> 0:42:27.337
<v Speaker 1>it has ever been, and there's all kinds of dysfunction

0:42:27.417 --> 0:42:29.337
<v Speaker 1>on the streets. It's not a well run city. We

0:42:29.417 --> 0:42:31.537
<v Speaker 1>know this. And here's a Redding reporter. I don't know

0:42:31.577 --> 0:42:34.617
<v Speaker 1>this guy is, who's just like you know, you're horrible

0:42:34.657 --> 0:42:37.137
<v Speaker 1>at this and you shouldn't run for reelection. Right. Here's

0:42:37.137 --> 0:42:39.177
<v Speaker 1>how that wet when he asked the mayor to her face,

0:42:39.777 --> 0:42:42.057
<v Speaker 1>every time you have a press conference, you say crime

0:42:42.137 --> 0:42:46.297
<v Speaker 1>is down, the economy is booming. Well that's not true.

0:42:46.337 --> 0:42:49.537
<v Speaker 1>But get your question, sir. Across the street, we had

0:42:49.577 --> 0:42:52.257
<v Speaker 1>a police officer on duty the victim of a hit

0:42:52.337 --> 0:42:56.537
<v Speaker 1>and run. We have Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent miles, now

0:42:56.657 --> 0:43:00.977
<v Speaker 1>referred to as the Mile of Fear. The water Tower

0:43:01.057 --> 0:43:04.097
<v Speaker 1>Place has thrown the keys back to the lender. They

0:43:04.097 --> 0:43:07.497
<v Speaker 1>say they don't want to be in Chicago anymore. Real

0:43:07.577 --> 0:43:11.897
<v Speaker 1>Chicagoans are asking me, how could you possibly even consider

0:43:13.097 --> 0:43:15.697
<v Speaker 1>running for reelection as mayor of the City of Chicago

0:43:15.737 --> 0:43:19.257
<v Speaker 1>after all the harm you've caused. Well, I disagree with

0:43:19.297 --> 0:43:22.817
<v Speaker 1>you fundamentally, and I don't think I need to address

0:43:22.857 --> 0:43:27.697
<v Speaker 1>any and dignify your comments one second further. Next question,

0:43:29.217 --> 0:43:32.257
<v Speaker 1>Notice how she doesn't even have a real response to

0:43:32.257 --> 0:43:35.497
<v Speaker 1>those allegations. Right, how about we've brought crime down in

0:43:35.537 --> 0:43:38.537
<v Speaker 1>the last six months twenty percent and we've had more

0:43:38.577 --> 0:43:41.177
<v Speaker 1>economic value. I'm making up those numbers when we're saying

0:43:41.217 --> 0:43:43.617
<v Speaker 1>if she actually had a worthwhile response, you would have.

0:43:44.017 --> 0:43:45.417
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that guy's just called you out. He's just

0:43:45.457 --> 0:43:47.777
<v Speaker 1>straight up said you're bad at your job. Someone says

0:43:47.777 --> 0:43:49.457
<v Speaker 1>you're bad at your job, and you're good at your job.

0:43:49.897 --> 0:43:51.537
<v Speaker 1>You fight back, You don't say, I'm not going to

0:43:51.577 --> 0:43:54.737
<v Speaker 1>dignify that with a response, but she is bed at

0:43:54.737 --> 0:43:57.537
<v Speaker 1>her job. Here's former Health Advisor President Joe Biden, doctor

0:43:57.577 --> 0:44:01.137
<v Speaker 1>Michael austar Home saying that, yeah, the mass mandate was

0:44:01.177 --> 0:44:05.257
<v Speaker 1>really overstated. Watched, you know, without sounding as a contrarian

0:44:05.617 --> 0:44:08.577
<v Speaker 1>or somehow I'll trying to undercut public health. You have

0:44:08.617 --> 0:44:11.657
<v Speaker 1>to know that I am a very pro respiratory protection

0:44:11.737 --> 0:44:16.177
<v Speaker 1>masking person, but that requires an in ninety five respirator.

0:44:16.337 --> 0:44:19.177
<v Speaker 1>We know it is how highly infectious this virus is,

0:44:19.177 --> 0:44:22.737
<v Speaker 1>and to use facecloth carverings or even surgical masks leaves

0:44:22.737 --> 0:44:26.577
<v Speaker 1>you still largely unprotected and that is a big challenge. Well,

0:44:26.617 --> 0:44:28.577
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the mask mandate, it was all

0:44:28.577 --> 0:44:31.857
<v Speaker 1>about the vast majority of people wearing facecloth carverings or

0:44:31.897 --> 0:44:34.497
<v Speaker 1>surgical masks, or if you're on a plane and you're

0:44:34.537 --> 0:44:36.617
<v Speaker 1>eating or drinking, you don't have to wear it at all.

0:44:37.017 --> 0:44:40.097
<v Speaker 1>I think the mask mandate has been really overstated in

0:44:40.177 --> 0:44:43.657
<v Speaker 1>terms of how much you can protect people. It sounds

0:44:43.697 --> 0:44:46.057
<v Speaker 1>like me for the last two years. And I'm not

0:44:46.177 --> 0:44:48.297
<v Speaker 1>some doctor who is an adviser to Biden, but I

0:44:48.337 --> 0:44:51.657
<v Speaker 1>just know things. Not a moron. As everything, I to

0:44:51.657 --> 0:44:53.857
<v Speaker 1>hold a line the Nose. Spin News with Bill Areley
