Speaker 1: You're listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Looks like the state of
Speaker 1: Florida has delivered a huge blow to the Disney Corporation today,
Speaker 1: revoking a decades old rule that allows the company to
Speaker 1: operate as an independent government around its theme park. Is
Speaker 1: this the way forward for conservatives to actually fight fire
Speaker 1: with fire, friends, It's time for all one. But I
Speaker 1: am announcing today that we are expanding the call of
Speaker 1: what they are going to be considering this week, and
Speaker 1: so yes, they will be considering the congressional map, but
Speaker 1: they also will be considering termination of all special districts
Speaker 1: that were enacted in Florida prior to nineteen sixty eight,
Speaker 1: and that includes the Red Creek Improvement District. Welcome hold
Speaker 1: al on on, buck Sexton, don't mess with the scantists.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who gets it. He understands that
Speaker 1: we are in a conflict, a battle for the soul
Speaker 1: and the future of this country, and the woke left
Speaker 1: is trying to kick at the load bearing walls of
Speaker 1: our civilization with all of its might. We can sit
Speaker 1: around and say to ourselves, you know what, let's try
Speaker 1: to create a neutral space. Let's not be too rough
Speaker 1: with the other side. They may be angry about that,
Speaker 1: or we can realize that corporations have been largely weaponized
Speaker 1: by the left in the culture and let's just be
Speaker 1: honest political wars in this country right now to try
Speaker 1: to silence conservatism, traditional values, you name it. Corporations are
Speaker 1: the shock troops of the woke left. The biggest, most
Speaker 1: powerful and wealthy corporations in America in particular, and that
Speaker 1: includes Disney, the great American purveyor of dreams and cartoons
Speaker 1: and fairy tales that was then. Now Disney has executives
Speaker 1: who want to make sure that children are exposed to
Speaker 1: enough trans content and non binary characters who have pan
Speaker 1: sexual identity and ideology. I don't even know what some
Speaker 1: of this stuff means. I don't think anybody knows what
Speaker 1: some of the stuff means, quite honestly, including the people
Speaker 1: who used the words. But Disney has kind of lost
Speaker 1: its mind. Here is the Wall Street Journal writing about
Speaker 1: this special district that might just be going away when
Speaker 1: it comes to Disney. It was created in nineteen sixty seven,
Speaker 1: known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District. It exempts Disney
Speaker 1: from a host of regulations in certain taxes and fees.
Speaker 1: It saves Disney tens of millions of dollars a year, accord,
Speaker 1: according to a person familiar with the company's finances who
Speaker 1: studied the issue over a decade ago. So this is
Speaker 1: a big deal for Disney. Now why is this happening
Speaker 1: Because Disney decided to try to influence state politics very
Speaker 1: aggressively and go against the legislature in the state of
Speaker 1: Florida as it was passing a parental rights and education law.
Speaker 1: So here's really the message that Governor ro On De
Speaker 1: Santis is giving to the Disney Corporation. You don't like it,
Speaker 1: build your own Florida. In fact, here's Florida State Representative
Speaker 1: Randy Fine saying Disney is a guest, but gotta be
Speaker 1: on your best behavior. What this is about is about
Speaker 1: Disney not recognizing that they are a guest in our state.
Speaker 1: They are a California company that is a guest in
Speaker 1: the state of Florida, and they are a guest that
Speaker 1: has had special privileges that no other company has had.
Speaker 1: If you want special privileges, you'd better be on your
Speaker 1: best behavior. And when you come in and misrepresent a
Speaker 1: bill that overwhelming majorities of Republicans, Democrats, even Biden voters support,
Speaker 1: you're going to have an issue in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: Gonna have an issue. The left does this all the time.
Speaker 1: Companies will decide that if you have a bathroom policy
Speaker 1: that says you have to use the gender that you
Speaker 1: actually are for bathroom and changing room purposes, there are
Speaker 1: companies that will say, will no longer do business, will
Speaker 1: no longer film our movie in your state. That's the
Speaker 1: way the left plays the game. On the right, we
Speaker 1: sit around and say, oh, but it's capitalism. Let's just
Speaker 1: let commerce be our guide. Not so easy. And what
Speaker 1: you've seen here is a reversal. The left thought they
Speaker 1: could go on offense, and they were going to take
Speaker 1: down Florida, which has been the free state of Florida
Speaker 1: in the pandemic, economically better off than all these lockdown
Speaker 1: blue Lib states. They would go after Governor Ron De Santis,
Speaker 1: who is increasingly the most prominent and effective Republican politician
Speaker 1: in America. I think I'm not even sure anybody argues
Speaker 1: he's not the most effective Republican in the country right now,
Speaker 1: I'd be wondering who else would be even in the conversation.
Speaker 1: Maybe Governor young Kin, but he's just getting started in Virginia.
Speaker 1: We'll have to see. And this is all over the
Speaker 1: Parental Rights Bill. Think about how aggressive the left was
Speaker 1: with this. They renamed the bill, and that had all
Speaker 1: the all of their toadies and cronies in the news media,
Speaker 1: all of their supplicants in the corporate legacy media calling
Speaker 1: it that don't say gay bill, when this was just
Speaker 1: a made up term to describe a bill that in
Speaker 1: no way says you can't say gay. That's absurd, right,
Speaker 1: Even the White House still digging in on this one
Speaker 1: and pretending that we can't actually read the bill, which
Speaker 1: is now a law. By the way, here's Deputy White
Speaker 1: House Press Secretary Karen Jean Pierre saying just that our
Speaker 1: view this is that but don't say gay bill is
Speaker 1: really crystal clear. It's wrong. That's our view. It is
Speaker 1: just wrong. Okay, So what's wrong about it? Tell us
Speaker 1: what's wrong? Explain Democrats to the American people. What part
Speaker 1: of preventing state paid, state funded bureaucrats teachers from talking
Speaker 1: to children, not forever. I'm not talking about eighth graders
Speaker 1: and teenagers, and you know, people are going through hormonal changes,
Speaker 1: and adolescens have a five year olds and six year olds. Kindergartens.
Speaker 1: You gotta talk to kindergartens about gender identity. When people
Speaker 1: find out that that's what the bill actually says, they go, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that seems normal, including Democrats, I might add, a
Speaker 1: majority of Democrats in the state of Florida actually believe
Speaker 1: that this builds a good idea. So why is it
Speaker 1: so evil? What's so wrong about it? Well, here is Jensaki,
Speaker 1: who is a woman of the left, explaining that teachers
Speaker 1: should be inserting ideas about gender identity into the minds
Speaker 1: of very very small children. Watch, don't parents have a
Speaker 1: right to have concerned? I mean we're talking specifically here
Speaker 1: about teaching about sex and kindergarten through third grade. I
Speaker 1: have to say, as a parent, I would have problems
Speaker 1: with that. But the laws not about teaching sex education.
Speaker 1: It's about teaching about gender identity. And so what do
Speaker 1: you do if a parent or a kid should I say,
Speaker 1: a kid in one of these elementary schools says, what
Speaker 1: about Sally? Sally has two moms or I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if I'm a girl or a boy. I mean, these
Speaker 1: are kids who are experiencing, you know, these moments in
Speaker 1: their lives. I also think that these are not There
Speaker 1: is not a big record of there being either sex
Speaker 1: education or extensive gender identity education in these schools, and
Speaker 1: this is creating a problem or a political cudgel about
Speaker 1: an issue that I don't think exists. Isn't that fascinating?
Speaker 1: You just saw the White House Press secretary tell anybody
Speaker 1: who was watching, and that was on CNN plus plus.
Speaker 1: By the way, I had too good job control of him.
Speaker 1: I like that CNN plus plus plus that she's saying,
Speaker 1: it's not about teaching sexual sexuality or anything like that,
Speaker 1: it's about gender identity training. Oh okay, how many people
Speaker 1: even knew what gender identity was until the last few years.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about adults, people that have been around for
Speaker 1: decades and decade. She actually wants that to happen. She
Speaker 1: wants kids to learn this stuff, and then she says
Speaker 1: it's not happened. Doesn't make any sense. We come back,
Speaker 1: We'll have more on Governor n Descantis is scorched Earth
Speaker 1: tactics and I mean that in a good way against
Speaker 1: Disney with a host of I'm right with Jesse Kelly
Speaker 1: here on the first TV jac Kelly, let's talk about
Speaker 1: protecting your online data. A lot of companies promise your
Speaker 1: privacy is guaranteed. We know that's not true. That's why
Speaker 1: you need a new privacy and cybersecurity application tool called
Speaker 1: Secure spelled SEK. You are. Security is using proprietary encryption
Speaker 1: and offering secure instant messaging and email with Secure all
Speaker 1: of your communications based on servers and data centers hosted
Speaker 1: in Switzerland without using any of the big tech platforms.
Speaker 1: Privacy is a big issue now. Without real security, people
Speaker 1: can read your emails, messages, even your bank information. Secure
Speaker 1: will never mind your data and never ask for your
Speaker 1: phone number. You can send emails to your doctor, banker, lawyer,
Speaker 1: or anyone else with total confidence you're not being spied
Speaker 1: on by your internet provider or Big Peck. Secure is
Speaker 1: your solution to stop the constant theft of your digital identity.
Speaker 1: Costs only five dollars from the messenger, only ten dollars
Speaker 1: from the messenger and email combination package. Go to secure
Speaker 1: dot com and take back your privacy today. That's sekuar
Speaker 1: dot com. Use promo code buck for twenty five percent off.
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly stops buying a moment, stick around, and we
Speaker 1: will vote on these two bills. It is my hope
Speaker 1: that we will be able to proceed civilly and with
Speaker 1: decorum and with respect for one another. Read the next bill. Democrats,
Speaker 1: they're throwing a temperate tantrum today on the floor of
Speaker 1: the Florida House of Representatives as that legislative body voted
Speaker 1: to revoke Disney's special governing status, with a bill now
Speaker 1: headed to wrong de Santis's desk for his signature. Some
Speaker 1: are concerned that the Florida governor might be going too
Speaker 1: far and fear that the bill conflicts with a pro
Speaker 1: business stance that conservatives usually favor. My next guest disagrees
Speaker 1: is one thing that weak Sauce around here joining me now,
Speaker 1: the host of I'm Right with Jesse Kelly here on
Speaker 1: the first TV and of course syndicated radio host nationally.
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly, what's up, Jesse. I don't like the loser
Speaker 1: mentality buff That's what's up. I'm not talking about you,
Speaker 1: but what I've said about this. You and I've talked
Speaker 1: about this privately before on the right. Government has only
Speaker 1: grown for the last hundred years. So we've never had
Speaker 1: a win. And people think we have, you know, because
Speaker 1: while we had Trump, or we had Braggin or something
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, we've had some election wins. But if
Speaker 1: you believe in limited government and all that, like we do,
Speaker 1: you've never had a win in your life. What you've had.
Speaker 1: What you think conservatism is, if that's the word we
Speaker 1: still want to use for it, is complaining when they win.
Speaker 1: That's not what we do. That's a hypocritical they're liars.
Speaker 1: That's wrong. We think that's conservatism, is complaining when they win.
Speaker 1: We don't even understand what winning is. If a corporation
Speaker 1: declares war on your values. We have the biggest children's
Speaker 1: corporation in the world. You could probably say in the
Speaker 1: Whirlwind Disney. If they have decided they are going to
Speaker 1: purposely pervert in groom children, they've declared war on your values.
Speaker 1: If they've declared war, make war. Yes, what we're doing
Speaker 1: is right, make them feel pain, make them fear you.
Speaker 1: And we have these We have so many losers on
Speaker 1: our side, and I honestly I sympathize with them who
Speaker 1: just believe that the second you encroach, the second you
Speaker 1: make them feel any pain at all, it's we've gone
Speaker 1: too far. This isn't doing it the right way. We're
Speaker 1: in a war for the future of the country. To
Speaker 1: make war interesting that you use that term war, because
Speaker 1: you're not the only one the chief Commissar of a
Speaker 1: teacher's unions, the AFT Randy Weingarden chief Commissar should be
Speaker 1: her official title. This is what she says about the
Speaker 1: preental rights bill in Florida. Watch this same it. It's
Speaker 1: this notion. And look where you know, we've been very
Speaker 1: lucky in America, and we in some ways live in
Speaker 1: a bubble for a long time. This is propaganda, This
Speaker 1: is misinformation. This is the way in which war star,
Speaker 1: This is the way in which hatred starts. This is
Speaker 1: the way in which wars starts. She says, talking about
Speaker 1: a parental rights bill that explicitly prevents five year olds
Speaker 1: from being told, Oh, you think you're a boy, No,
Speaker 1: you're actually a girl. Let's get you on some hormone therapy. Look,
Speaker 1: it's been the greatest benefit for them. Buck. This is
Speaker 1: something I know you talk about on your shows all
Speaker 1: the time. The biggest win for the communists in this country.
Speaker 1: It actually isn't even corporate America. It isn't Hollywood, it
Speaker 1: isn't sports or whatever else you're mad they took over.
Speaker 1: The biggest thing for them has been to educate the children.
Speaker 1: They have taken children from well meaning parents for seven
Speaker 1: eight hours a day, and they've done this for decades,
Speaker 1: and they've taught these children to hate themselves, hate their parents,
Speaker 1: hate their country. Now they've flat out moved that into
Speaker 1: a really even more disgusting sexual realm. That is their
Speaker 1: bread and butter. They're not trying, by the way, to
Speaker 1: make your kids gay. They're trying to destroy your kids
Speaker 1: mentally and physically, so your kids will hate you and
Speaker 1: hate your country. Because a broken person is easy to
Speaker 1: convert to communism. That is the goal they're trying to
Speaker 1: break things. Because look, if you get some ten year
Speaker 1: old boy who chops his penis off, it gets a
Speaker 1: bunch of puberty blockers. What are the chances that boy,
Speaker 1: if he even lives to eighteen or nineteen, becomes a
Speaker 1: voting card carrying Democrat his whole life. They're about one hundred.
Speaker 1: But if you have a child who's been top manners
Speaker 1: who doesn't believe and that loves his country again not political,
Speaker 1: loves this country, says yes, sir, no, ma'am, good kid.
Speaker 1: What are the chances that child's going to be the
Speaker 1: political enemy of the Democratic Party, They're very, very high.
Speaker 1: They're simply recruiting new people in schools have been their
Speaker 1: bread and butter, and threatening to take that away from
Speaker 1: them is a huge threat to them. On this topic
Speaker 1: of winning and actually pushing the advantage when the right
Speaker 1: all of a sudden actually has one or has done
Speaker 1: this a few times. Recently has been a rough week,
Speaker 1: rough month. You could argue a rough year for Biden
Speaker 1: the Democrats. I think that much is clear. But the
Speaker 1: term that you know right at the heart of this
Speaker 1: whole Disney situation. And I still what was amazing to
Speaker 1: me was remember where that that corporate executive referred to
Speaker 1: one of her children as pan sexual, And I remember
Speaker 1: I made some comment like I don't even know what
Speaker 1: pan sexual means, and all these blue check journals jump
Speaker 1: in like, maybe you shouldn't be such an idiot. I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: maybe people shouldn't be lunatics. How about that? I mean,
Speaker 1: we are seeing the left exposed in a way that
Speaker 1: I think is almost surprising to some Democrats who don't
Speaker 1: really know who's calling the shots and who's really running
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes of the party, where the real
Speaker 1: power centers are, you know, people that have been voting
Speaker 1: Democrat because they're like unions for the last forty years
Speaker 1: or whatever. But Jesse, the term groomer really upsets them.
Speaker 1: And I think that's interesting. What you know, when they
Speaker 1: call when they call conservatives, they call you, call me,
Speaker 1: call anybody a racist for example. If that doesn't bother
Speaker 1: me at all, insofar as it's just anderis and a lie.
Speaker 1: It's annoying that they do it, but it doesn't really
Speaker 1: you know, you don't get a real right when you
Speaker 1: call some of these people on the left groomers, or
Speaker 1: rather say that their policies go toward grooming, they get
Speaker 1: really upset. And I wonder why you think that is
Speaker 1: because it's effective, because it's true, and because it's effective.
Speaker 1: And what's wild about this bug is it's not just
Speaker 1: you and me a couple of right wingers Gavin on
Speaker 1: your show about this, it's them in their own words.
Speaker 1: Of course, libs of TikTok. That Twitter account's been famous
Speaker 1: it's been all over the news lately. But Libs of TikTok,
Speaker 1: that account doesn't do right wing commentary. That account takes
Speaker 1: a video that a crazy teacher with pink here at
Speaker 1: eight thousand piecings in their face, put on video, put
Speaker 1: it out there for public consumption, and Libs of TikTok
Speaker 1: simply takes it and puts it on Twitter. This is
Speaker 1: what this teacher said. This is what this teacher said,
Speaker 1: This is what this teacher said. These people, they thrive
Speaker 1: in the darkness, and this is actually a great news.
Speaker 1: This is one of the things they really screwed up.
Speaker 1: They loved COVID, and they used COVID to destroy the
Speaker 1: economy like they want to do, and they used it
Speaker 1: to get Donald Trump out of office. But they did
Speaker 1: not think about the fact that COVID and the school
Speaker 1: closures brought school home for parents. Parents still thought kids
Speaker 1: were learning reading, writing, and arithmetic in schools, when really
Speaker 1: they were learning some really disgusting things. And the communists
Speaker 1: did not see that coming parents. This has been a
Speaker 1: shock for them. You don't have to call them anything
Speaker 1: specific except for what they are. We're not calling them groomers.
Speaker 1: They are groomers. If you're a kindergarten teacher and you're
Speaker 1: upset that you can't tell a little boy that he
Speaker 1: can become a little girl, you are a groomer. That's
Speaker 1: what you are. Yes, It's interesting that the teachers unions,
Speaker 1: as I say, the education commissars, were so excited at
Speaker 1: the prospect of getting paid to have their members stay
Speaker 1: home and do their jobs and abandoned children for months
Speaker 1: on end. They didn't think through the second order of this,
Speaker 1: the second step of this, which was going to be Oh,
Speaker 1: but now parents will be home and they'll hear the
Speaker 1: kind of indoctrination that your children will be subjected to.
Speaker 1: If Republicans don't make this a huge issue going in
Speaker 1: the mid terms, we honestly we don't even deserve to win.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's where we are. If we
Speaker 1: aren't willing to push on what is clearly a major
Speaker 1: week spot on the left. What's the point, Jesse. Not
Speaker 1: only all your one hundred percent right bucket is the issue.
Speaker 1: There shouldn't be a Florida thing. There should be every
Speaker 1: race in all fifty states that Senate, Congress, all the
Speaker 1: way down to school board. Every Republican in the country.
Speaker 1: If they're smart and you're happy to be morally right.
Speaker 1: If they're smart, they'll be running on this issue. Even
Speaker 1: Democrat parents, we have all the poll numbers. Even Democrat
Speaker 1: parents do not want their kids getting sexually indoctrinated in kindergarten.
Speaker 1: They do not. This is the biggest winner of an
Speaker 1: issue in the world. And the Communists are so stupid
Speaker 1: and so insane. They're pushing back hard and wading into it.
Speaker 1: They should be shutting up about this and trying to
Speaker 1: move away. They can't stop talking about it. Jen Saki's
Speaker 1: still running her fat mouth on the news every single
Speaker 1: day about how sad it is that we can't tell
Speaker 1: little girls they can become little boys. This is wonderful.
Speaker 1: It's a winner that gift wrapped for us. Take it.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Florida, Jesse, real quick, what's is this like
Speaker 1: a Miami Weiss homage we got going on here? With
Speaker 1: the T shirt with the blazer? What are you, don Johnson?
Speaker 1: Did you get you some blonde hair dye? Are you
Speaker 1: living on a houseboat and driving around in a ferrari?
Speaker 1: What is okay? Okay, full disclosure. I have I have
Speaker 1: to explain I was actually doing some radio work, and
Speaker 1: I had forgotten. I was in the middle of something,
Speaker 1: and I had forgotten I was doing your show. And
Speaker 1: I looked at my photo and I thought, oh jeez,
Speaker 1: I gotta do Buck now. And I didn't. I just
Speaker 1: ran and grabbed the sport coded I knew as soon
Speaker 1: as I sat down. I looked, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: Buck's gonna say something. He's gonna say. And of course
Speaker 1: you did. All right, Just go, just go lock up
Speaker 1: the bad guys. Thanks for having us, Jesse. There we go.
Speaker 1: Just weeks after it's launched, folks, CNN's parent company has
Speaker 1: announced that the news network's long hyped streaming service, CNN Plus,
Speaker 1: is going bye. By what a shame. We'll have more
Speaker 1: on that with the editor of the Fourth Watch newsletter
Speaker 1: and podcast, Steve Krackaur. Coming up after the break, Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the newest sponsor here to hold the line,
Speaker 1: the Silencer Shop. I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment.
Speaker 1: For many gun owners, using a suppressor is a must.
Speaker 1: They protect your hearing and improve your accuracy because it
Speaker 1: minimizes recoil. Suppressors are one hundred percent legal and forty
Speaker 1: three states, So if you want to practice safe, accurate shooting.
Speaker 1: The best way is to get your suppressors through the
Speaker 1: silencer Shop. They have a variety of suppressor starting at
Speaker 1: just three hundred and sixty five dollars. My friends at
Speaker 1: silencer Shop are the industry leaders for suppressors. They're a
Speaker 1: Texas based company that excel at customer service. Each phone call, email,
Speaker 1: direct messenger comment is answered promptly, and they treat you
Speaker 1: like family. Their customer reviews are amazing. On trust Pilot,
Speaker 1: Silencershop has an average rank a four point nine out
Speaker 1: of five stars based on over twenty five thousand reviews.
Speaker 1: We can get more details online at the Silencershop website
Speaker 1: that silencershop dot com, silencershop dot com, or go on
Speaker 1: Instagram at Instagram dot com slash Silencershop. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back with more. Hold the line. It's a bad day
Speaker 1: for streaming services today. Warner Brothers Discovery announced that CNN
Speaker 1: Plus to recall it. CNN, the streaming service that was
Speaker 1: hyped is one of the most significant developments in the
Speaker 1: history of CNN, will shut down on April thirtieth, just
Speaker 1: one month after it launched. Meanwhile, earlier this week, Netflix
Speaker 1: announced that it suffered its first subscriber loss in more
Speaker 1: than a decade in the first quarter of twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: with a net loss of two hundred thousand subscribers globally.
Speaker 1: The news spooked investors, causing IT shares to plunge more
Speaker 1: than twenty five percent in extended trading. What's going on here?
Speaker 1: Netflix is projected to lose two million subscribe and CNN
Speaker 1: Plus was canceled before it even got started. Correlation between
Speaker 1: companies going woke then broke can't be ignored. Ken it
Speaker 1: for people finally starting to see the left in big
Speaker 1: text secret agenda? And is that costing the bottom line?
Speaker 1: Let's ask editor of Fourth Watch newsletter and podcast, mister
Speaker 1: Steve krak Our crack. Good to see it, hey bug,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. What do you think, man?
Speaker 1: What the heck is this? I mean, CNN spent over
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars preparing for the launch of CNN Plus.
Speaker 1: Is this the biggest news media launch failure in history?
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some other things that would maybe
Speaker 1: be in the running, but I can't think of any
Speaker 1: bigger can you? No? I think that this is this
Speaker 1: is certainly up there. We are on day twenty three
Speaker 1: of CNN Plus and it will shut down on day
Speaker 1: thirty two. I mean it calls to mind Quibby, which
Speaker 1: was that mobile video app that they spend even more money.
Speaker 1: I believe it was seven hundred and fifty million on content,
Speaker 1: but that at least lasted like six months. Nine months. No,
Speaker 1: this is sing how fast it came down. But the
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is, first of all, we could
Speaker 1: talk about the content that was on there and why
Speaker 1: it maybe wasn't so killing to a lot of people,
Speaker 1: considering it was essentially the content that was on CNN
Speaker 1: that people were already not very interested in for free,
Speaker 1: and now they're charging an up charge of three to
Speaker 1: five dollars for it. But also this launched it just
Speaker 1: as Discovery now Warner Brothers Discovery took over the company.
Speaker 1: This was a pet project of Jeff Zucker and the
Speaker 1: old administration. They launched this thing, and now they're trying
Speaker 1: to sustain it. The new company comes in and said,
Speaker 1: this has none of our fingerprints on it. We didn't
Speaker 1: want this thing to launch in the first place. And
Speaker 1: then rather than just seeing this through for a few months,
Speaker 1: they said, let's cut the cord. This is done. Pretty shocking,
Speaker 1: but also you know, this is this is how business
Speaker 1: gets done these days, so so I think there's districts.
Speaker 1: I was talking to this on radio to day with
Speaker 1: my COHS Clay, and I said, it seems to me
Speaker 1: like this is actually a Jeff Zucker project, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: this whole CNN plus had to be put together because
Speaker 1: he just left a couple of months ago, so he
Speaker 1: must have been the one. I mean, so so really
Speaker 1: this is a It's almost like Zucker was the guy,
Speaker 1: you know, driving the Titanic and he happened to switch
Speaker 1: places with somebody else before it hit the iceberg, right exactly. Look,
Speaker 1: this has been in the works for more than a
Speaker 1: year now. They've been hiring up people building this thing,
Speaker 1: building the technology, getting some marque names depending on how
Speaker 1: you want to look at it, but certainly spending marquee
Speaker 1: dollars to get talent from Box News and from and
Speaker 1: from MSNBC and from NPR and from all other places.
Speaker 1: They finally brought them in and this thing was set
Speaker 1: to launch in March, and Jeff gets fired, essentially gets
Speaker 1: pushed out in February. But rather than pump the brakes
Speaker 1: at this point and started to think all right, maybe
Speaker 1: this we need to why why we launched this without
Speaker 1: having it everything kind of the clear leadership team in place.
Speaker 1: They just rolled on ahead, put this thing out there.
Speaker 1: And as we know, about one hundred fifty thousand subscribers
Speaker 1: right now, approximately ten thousand people watching every day. Those
Speaker 1: numbers are not very good. And yes, for only three
Speaker 1: weeks in, but that is not a good launch, particularly
Speaker 1: when you think about how much money they've they've invested
Speaker 1: into this, and how much time and energy and marketing
Speaker 1: they put into this. It's not off to a good start.
Speaker 1: You would think that maybe they have a longer leash
Speaker 1: with the new bosses, say, look at cutter losses now
Speaker 1: it's done. Certainly a lot of schadenfreude on the right
Speaker 1: about this. Let's be honest, we're having a good time
Speaker 1: with it. There's a lot of memes, mister Krakauer that
Speaker 1: go around today that are having some fun at CNN's expense.
Speaker 1: People sharing some memorable moments from CNN pass to give
Speaker 1: a sense as to why did Americans apparently not want
Speaker 1: to pay for hard hitting interviews like this one with
Speaker 1: Bryan Stelter. So fourt to two years later, did the
Speaker 1: two of you now happily retired, Do you still watch CNN? Everybody? Yeah,
Speaker 1: here's the difference though. Here's a difference though. I used
Speaker 1: to anchor at CNN and now why just yellow at CNA. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody does that too, Right, you can just email me, Dave,
Speaker 1: that would be great feedback. We'll take your feedback anytime.
Speaker 1: I mean, the team here just pull that one. We
Speaker 1: could have a lot more fun with CNN stuff they've
Speaker 1: said on the air. But what what was the premise here? Was?
Speaker 1: What that a channel that struggles and has maybe a
Speaker 1: third in the prime in primetime hours, a third the
Speaker 1: viewership of say Fox News. It's it's competitor obviously from
Speaker 1: the other side of the aisle, is going to become
Speaker 1: a digital b myth? Why, like, what was the thinking here?
Speaker 1: Just so everyone understands, I mean, because CNN is the
Speaker 1: is the airport channel, right, It's the thing that like,
Speaker 1: it's on shelf and so that's what you have to buy.
Speaker 1: It's it's the moldy bread that's all you've got in
Speaker 1: the store when you're stuck in an airport that's snowed in.
Speaker 1: So what was the idea here? Yeah, and the glass
Speaker 1: half full version that would be that when new major
Speaker 1: news breaks a war in Ukraine, people turn on CNN
Speaker 1: on the day to day basis. They don't have any
Speaker 1: talent that moves the needle. What was the thing behind it?
Speaker 1: I have no idea, But let me tell you there's
Speaker 1: three major problems, and Brian Stelter, right there is very
Speaker 1: much exemplifies one of them. Brian has a show on
Speaker 1: Sunday that not that many people watch. Now he has
Speaker 1: a show on CNN Plus every day of the week.
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper has a show every day of the week,
Speaker 1: and it's about the news. Now we show on CNN
Speaker 1: Plus called Jake Tapper's Book Club, so you can hear
Speaker 1: about the books that Jake Tapper brees. Anderson Cooper has
Speaker 1: a news show on CNN. He has a show about
Speaker 1: parenting on CNN Plus. Why who thinks that people need this?
Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea. Another major red flag is that, look,
Speaker 1: CNN does have content that's discovery, like Stanley Tucci Show,
Speaker 1: but none of these shows have hit the way that
Speaker 1: like Anthony Bourdein's show has. And I mentioned Anthony Bourdein
Speaker 1: because Stanley he died three or four years ago. But
Speaker 1: he was a major part of the CNN plus marketing.
Speaker 1: Just the last couple of months. They don't have the
Speaker 1: kind of hits that they used to have when it
Speaker 1: comes to these news is shows. So instead, yes, you
Speaker 1: can go and get the Anthony Bourdaine archives, but he
Speaker 1: is sadley passed away four years ago now, so that
Speaker 1: I agree that he he Steve would have been the
Speaker 1: closest thing that they had to a tent pole, a
Speaker 1: kind of big name, big show that might have been
Speaker 1: able to draw in other folks. Absolutely. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that's a model for what you might want with
Speaker 1: a streaming service. It's a binge able show and you
Speaker 1: can watch multiple episodes. It's not tied to news at
Speaker 1: the moment. It's a lot different than say, watching Chris
Speaker 1: Wallace interview someone like Diane ben Furstenberg for an hour.
Speaker 1: Why I have absolutely no idea? Do we know? I
Speaker 1: got to ask you, so, Steve Justserver says, you used
Speaker 1: to Steve knows CNN, used to work at CNN. He
Speaker 1: knows the ropes over there very well. Do you think
Speaker 1: they're going to pay out Chris Wallace is twelve million
Speaker 1: or whatever obscene salary they're giving him. How does that work?
Speaker 1: I figure probably right, it's a talent contract. I would
Speaker 1: say that the talent is going to get paid out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think these Chris Wallace for sure. I'm curious about
Speaker 1: people like Don Lemon who launched a talk show called
Speaker 1: The Don Lemon Show and it aired one episode and
Speaker 1: now it's done. What does he I'm sure you have
Speaker 1: the clause in the contract that and now I've got
Speaker 1: to talk show even if it airs or not. And
Speaker 1: I have to say, I mean, look, CNN plus hired
Speaker 1: more than two hundred people to work on now they
Speaker 1: have said they will essentially pay nine months severance, which
Speaker 1: is very nice for maybe a low level production assistant
Speaker 1: that thought they were coming on to this new big
Speaker 1: thing and it lasted for four weeks and now they're
Speaker 1: out of a job. They do have nine months severance,
Speaker 1: but it's a total disaster. And look, I noticed last
Speaker 1: week that something was wrong when the at scene and
Speaker 1: Twitter account, which you mentioned. I used to work at CNN.
Speaker 1: One of my jobs was running the at scene on
Speaker 1: Twitter account fifty eight million followers. You know how many
Speaker 1: times the at scene and Twitter account mentioned CNN plus
Speaker 1: zero zero times they have mentioned their own streaming channel.
Speaker 1: There was no marketing coordination behind this. There was no
Speaker 1: effort to sample content or to get it out into
Speaker 1: different streams. It was a mess from I know you
Speaker 1: have a fantastic media newsletter you put out, but I
Speaker 1: do think fit the most prominent media critic in America
Speaker 1: needed to weigh in on this one as well, former
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. So here's what he says. Congratulations to
Speaker 1: CNN plus other decision to immediately fold for lack of
Speaker 1: ratings or viewers in any way, shape or form. It
Speaker 1: was like an empty desert out there. Despite spending one
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars. In any event, there's just
Speaker 1: one more piece of CNN and fake news you don't
Speaker 1: want to bother with anymore. I mean, Steve, I think
Speaker 1: I think he pretty much nails the key points. He does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, the great thing about Donald Trump is that
Speaker 1: he was such a media critic and a I mean,
Speaker 1: I wish that was a tweet now that would have
Speaker 1: been been going virals. Sadly he can't tweet. No, I
Speaker 1: he nailed it. Yeah, it was. It was doomed kind
Speaker 1: of from the beginning. It did never really made a
Speaker 1: ton of sense. I think about you know, we mentioned
Speaker 1: Chris Wallace is like this big splashy higher casey hunt
Speaker 1: from MSNBC. Rex Chapman, the guy who has a lot
Speaker 1: of tweets so that he sort of steals from other
Speaker 1: people and other memes. It was. I watched a couple
Speaker 1: of clips of his show. It's just painful. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if they ever thought Grex Cheman as
Speaker 1: a Twitter followers, so let's give him a TV show,
Speaker 1: but without actually seeing how he is on TV. It's
Speaker 1: just it was ill conceived and it was clearly they
Speaker 1: got a lot of money to do this thing, three
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars and that's exciting, and you can fire
Speaker 1: a lot of people, but you have to have content
Speaker 1: you have and this honestly connects to Netflix. I mean,
Speaker 1: part of the problem is with what's declining right now
Speaker 1: is the quality of the content. There's so much content
Speaker 1: out there now. You have to be good, and I
Speaker 1: know that's subjective, but you have to be good, and
Speaker 1: it's a lot of woke crap. I just actually want
Speaker 1: something that lets my brain relax and turn off at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, not that tells me that,
Speaker 1: you know, it's time for transgender youth indoctrination or something.
Speaker 1: But anyway, and you know they'll do it in like
Speaker 1: movies about the ninth century Viking conquest of England. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're really they're really going all out with this stuff
Speaker 1: these days. Crack, we'll have you back. Good to see him,
Speaker 1: my man, Thanks for being here. Thank you. Democrats are
Speaker 1: starting to sweat as a number of one safe house
Speaker 1: races have moved to the toss up column and laid
Speaker 1: his polls. But come back in a moment here with
Speaker 1: commentary edit at the Washington Examiner, con Carol, he's going
Speaker 1: to give us take on the coming storm. Look, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm skeptical by nature when I first found out about
Speaker 1: this thing called hometittlefafts, Like, come on, thieves really can
Speaker 1: steal your home online? Well, yeah, actually they can. Cyber
Speaker 1: criminals can forge your name off the tittle of your
Speaker 1: home online and then take over as a new owner.
Speaker 1: Turns out that this is not that difficult to do.
Speaker 1: The FBI says it's a rapidly growing crime, and you're
Speaker 1: not covered by usual identity theft programs. Home title lock
Speaker 1: has earned my trust. Hometelelock, what you need to put
Speaker 1: a barrier around your home's title. The instant they detect
Speaker 1: anyone tampering with your home's title, they mobilize to help
Speaker 1: shut it down. To just go to hometetlelock dot com
Speaker 1: now register your address and see if you're already a
Speaker 1: victim of this crime and don't even know it. When
Speaker 1: it comes to protecting your home, tell them buck Sexton
Speaker 1: sent you. You'll get the listener discount. Go to hometetlelock
Speaker 1: dot com again, that's hometitlelock dot com. As the midterm
Speaker 1: elections draw closer and Biden's approval rating is dropping by
Speaker 1: the day, many seats in the House and Senate the
Speaker 1: Democrats once thought were safe seemed to be up for grabs.
Speaker 1: Even CNN, a reliable cheerleader for Democrats, is starting to
Speaker 1: sound the alarm bells and the possibility that Democrats could
Speaker 1: get hammered in November. Check out this headline from CNN Politics.
Speaker 1: The House playing field is a playing field rather sorry,
Speaker 1: the house playing field is coming into focus and it's
Speaker 1: not a pretty picture for Democrats. So will we see
Speaker 1: that red wave come crashing down this November? I mean
Speaker 1: out to discuss where we are. Commentary editor at The
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner con Carl con good to see it, read
Speaker 1: to be here, buddy. So look, I know we're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking to this a lot in the months ahead,
Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna be saying, well, it's a lifetime in politics, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1: The Democrats are already starting to look for the panic
Speaker 1: button a little bit. So I want you to put
Speaker 1: this into context. I mean, how bad is it looking
Speaker 1: for them at this stage? Because I actually think it's
Speaker 1: going to get worse for them too. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it definitely could. Mind's about to totally repeal Title forty two.
Speaker 1: There's going to be a huge border crisis. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of bad news yet to come. But even before that,
Speaker 1: you know, we're looking at a house it's going to
Speaker 1: lose twenty to thirty seats, which would give a strong
Speaker 1: Republican majority in twenty twenty four. So here's the generic
Speaker 1: ballot according to Rasmussen, or Republican versus Democrat. This congressional
Speaker 1: ballot forty seven percent, Republican Democrat thirty nine percent. Now,
Speaker 1: we would usually expect going into a midterm election that
Speaker 1: the party in power, which is the Democrat party, is
Speaker 1: going to be at something of a disadvantage. But how
Speaker 1: does this lineup come with what we've seen before at
Speaker 1: this stage a midterm, in the sorry midterm election, in
Speaker 1: the first term of a new president. Are these numbers
Speaker 1: that look like what we saw going into twenty ten
Speaker 1: with the historic Tea party wave or could it be
Speaker 1: even bigger? How do you engage it? It's it's bigger,
Speaker 1: it's much bigger. The party out of power always looks good.
Speaker 1: But on the generic ballot question, generally Republicans fare worse
Speaker 1: than Democrats, So that the Republicans are eight points ahead
Speaker 1: already in this point points to a huge year. There
Speaker 1: are way ahead of where they were in twenty ten
Speaker 1: and in twenty fourteen. So if you were just looking
Speaker 1: at the numbers you didn't know anything else, you would
Speaker 1: expect this coming twenty twenty two to be worse for
Speaker 1: Democrats than twenty ten or twenty fourteen. The way here
Speaker 1: is some of the Democrat party line starting to pull apart.
Speaker 1: I mean, people are realizing they got a big problem here.
Speaker 1: Here is Stephen Ratner, who's a former Obama advisor, who
Speaker 1: was on MSNBC and he shared some numbers for the
Speaker 1: public's ability to trust one party or the other with
Speaker 1: a variety of topics. Watch this one, people ask which
Speaker 1: party would you trust to handle an issue more in Congress,
Speaker 1: and on inflation, it was the Republicans forty six to
Speaker 1: thirty two, so I spread up fourteen points. National charity
Speaker 1: of all things it was forty eight to thirty five,
Speaker 1: a spread of thirteen points. And on the economy it
Speaker 1: was forty seven to thirty six, to spread of eleven points.
Speaker 1: And so they're simply not a belief in among the
Speaker 1: American people that the Democrats are well equipped to handle
Speaker 1: pretty much any problem at the moment. Unfortunately, it seems
Speaker 1: almost like the perception is settling in across America. Democrats
Speaker 1: not good at governing, good at whining about about January
Speaker 1: sixth all day long, not about actually running the country.
Speaker 1: It's well earned. Look, I mean, this is a president
Speaker 1: who butchered the job in Afghanistans, who has no credibility
Speaker 1: on foreign policy, so while Ukraine's not helping him, this
Speaker 1: is a president that created the border crisis by ending
Speaker 1: Trump's remain in Mexican policy. This is a president that
Speaker 1: created the inflation crisis by having a huge trillion dollars
Speaker 1: in on this bill that was completely a unipartisan All
Speaker 1: of these problems are of his own creation. They've earned
Speaker 1: these bad numbers and they're going to get justice in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. What do you think are some of
Speaker 1: the races Senate side or if you think one on
Speaker 1: the House side is particularly noteworthy as a as a
Speaker 1: bellweather as as something that's indicative of a larger trend
Speaker 1: right now, I know we still have primaries to go with,
Speaker 1: but in terms of contested states or contested districts, what
Speaker 1: are you watching as Oh, if if Republicans start to
Speaker 1: run the table with the following, it's going to be
Speaker 1: a red wave the likes we've never seen. I mean,
Speaker 1: what are the states you're looking at? Sure, I'm a
Speaker 1: Senate guy from probably going to big senate state Senate
Speaker 1: races and not House races, but I think you know,
Speaker 1: if you look at someplace like New Hampshire or Arizona
Speaker 1: where Hassan is barely hanging on, if that state goes red,
Speaker 1: it's going to be just a huge year or for
Speaker 1: the Republicans. And then if you want to stretch it
Speaker 1: even just a little bit further, of course, in Nevada
Speaker 1: you have Mortest Castro out there and she's falling behind.
Speaker 1: But right next door or not right next or two
Speaker 1: states over in Colorado, then it's up as well. And
Speaker 1: if it's a big enough way, I think you can
Speaker 1: see them losing in the states like Colorado too. Here
Speaker 1: is the mainstream media or the democraticle on corporate media
Speaker 1: as I prefer to call them, showing how worried they
Speaker 1: are about what they're calling a Trump takeover. Of course
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, based on how these mid terms, well,
Speaker 1: they're assuming it'll be Trump. Watch this. A part of
Speaker 1: what we have to do here in the mid term
Speaker 1: is portray a message of unfinished business. We have to
Speaker 1: put Trump back on the ballot. But that means that
Speaker 1: does not mean that that we get to make every
Speaker 1: Republican steam like Trump. It means that we have to
Speaker 1: literally explain that if if Republicans win the House and
Speaker 1: the Senate in twenty twenty two, they will reinstall a
Speaker 1: Trump in twenty twenty four. I mean, first of all,
Speaker 1: like no, but beyond that, also, that's not going to
Speaker 1: help them going to the mid terms. They have no
Speaker 1: other playbook, right, I mean, if you look at the
Speaker 1: congressional calendar. All that they have left to do is
Speaker 1: the Juniory six committee. That's the there only play that
Speaker 1: they have. And so that's why you saw you know,
Speaker 1: news breaking this week where they tried to shame you know,
Speaker 1: Chip Roy and Mike Lee with text to Mark Meadows.
Speaker 1: The only thing they have is January sixth, and so
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to make as much hay, as much
Speaker 1: drama as again at the January six committee, and it's
Speaker 1: just not gonna work. Amazing to watch the solid playout.
Speaker 1: What's your prediction. We'll play this back for you after
Speaker 1: the election for Senate because you're a Senate guy, Senate
Speaker 1: pick up, gop. What are we looking at? In your mind?
Speaker 1: I say they get fifty four. Fifty four, that'd be nice,
Speaker 1: that'd be a breaking, nice, solid majority. Or do you
Speaker 1: want to give us a house number or you want
Speaker 1: to hold back on that one. No, No, I'll go
Speaker 1: ahead and say, um, twenty five. Wow, I think I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be more like fifty. So calm, We'll
Speaker 1: have to see. We'll have to see. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: a hopeful guy. What can I tell you? Let's let's see.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much man, good to see you anytime. When
Speaker 1: reporters call out Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on the soaring
Speaker 1: crime and just dysfunction in her city, she tells them
Speaker 1: she will not dignify their comments. Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: We got that story coming from the Windy City and more.
Speaker 1: In quick hits up neck, Joe Biden seems confused when
Speaker 1: answering a question about Title forty two and the White
Speaker 1: House doubles down on keeping America dependent on for an oil.
Speaker 1: We have those stories to quick hit. Let's get right
Speaker 1: to it. So Joe Biden was asked about Title ford.
Speaker 1: Now he did. To be fair, he did clarify this today.
Speaker 1: He was asked about this yesterday. But we do want
Speaker 1: to show you. Oh I'm sorry, I asked about this
Speaker 1: earlier today and then had to clarify it later in
Speaker 1: the day. But here's what the Commander in chief sounded
Speaker 1: like when he was asked at a a press conference about
Speaker 1: Title forty two, and he clearly thought that he just
Speaker 1: didn't know what the hell he's talking about. Watch this
Speaker 1: laying no what I'm considering it is continuing to hear
Speaker 1: from my First of all, there's going to be an
Speaker 1: appeal by the Justice Department, because as a matter of principle,
Speaker 1: we want to be able to be in a position
Speaker 1: where if in fact it is strongly concluded by the
Speaker 1: scientists that we need a Title forty two, that we
Speaker 1: be able to do that, but there has been no
Speaker 1: decision on extending Title forty two. You can just sort
Speaker 1: of see the wires getting crossed in real time where
Speaker 1: he thinks he's talking about the CDC weighing in on
Speaker 1: the mask mandate and the DOJ bringing a challenge to
Speaker 1: the judge in Florida who overturned it, but he actually
Speaker 1: then gets confused with Title forty two, which is also
Speaker 1: a CDC authority that has to do with the Southern border,
Speaker 1: which the CDC is not currently involved in, trying to
Speaker 1: weigh in on and have the DOJ overturned. Because it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, just all scrambled up there, folks. He's the
Speaker 1: commander in chief. Though Democrats thought this was really a
Speaker 1: really good idea, Biden's climate advisor Gina McCarthy says Biden
Speaker 1: remains absolutely committed to not moving forward with an additional
Speaker 1: drilling on public lands. Watch this one. President Biden remains
Speaker 1: absolutely committed to not moving forward with additional drilling on
Speaker 1: public lands. The challenge that we faced was that we
Speaker 1: had a court that ordered that a new lease to
Speaker 1: be done. The Department of Energy had no choice but
Speaker 1: to put it out. But they also find found ways
Speaker 1: to reduce the size of that in its impact. And
Speaker 1: we'll keep doing what we need to do to appeal
Speaker 1: those decisions and to make our case in a court.
Speaker 1: I mean, they keep telling you that they're going to
Speaker 1: do everything they can to bring down the price of gas,
Speaker 1: but they actually aren't interested in doing that. They're interested
Speaker 1: in saying that because it's politically important for them, but
Speaker 1: they would rather continue the charade of oh yeah, just
Speaker 1: give us some time, will we'll figure this out when
Speaker 1: there actually comes to decision making no interest. This is
Speaker 1: honestly one of my favorite moments of the week. Laura
Speaker 1: Lightfoot is a terrible mayor. It's just a fact. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's obvious. Everybody knows this. Even Democrats know that she's
Speaker 1: just really bad at the job. Chicago is in rough shape.
Speaker 1: The crime is completely out of control, It's worse than
Speaker 1: it has ever been, and there's all kinds of dysfunction
Speaker 1: on the streets. It's not a well run city. We
Speaker 1: know this. And here's a Redding reporter. I don't know
Speaker 1: this guy is, who's just like you know, you're horrible
Speaker 1: at this and you shouldn't run for reelection. Right. Here's
Speaker 1: how that wet when he asked the mayor to her face,
Speaker 1: every time you have a press conference, you say crime
Speaker 1: is down, the economy is booming. Well that's not true.
Speaker 1: But get your question, sir. Across the street, we had
Speaker 1: a police officer on duty the victim of a hit
Speaker 1: and run. We have Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent miles, now
Speaker 1: referred to as the Mile of Fear. The water Tower
Speaker 1: Place has thrown the keys back to the lender. They
Speaker 1: say they don't want to be in Chicago anymore. Real
Speaker 1: Chicagoans are asking me, how could you possibly even consider
Speaker 1: running for reelection as mayor of the City of Chicago
Speaker 1: after all the harm you've caused. Well, I disagree with
Speaker 1: you fundamentally, and I don't think I need to address
Speaker 1: any and dignify your comments one second further. Next question,
Speaker 1: Notice how she doesn't even have a real response to
Speaker 1: those allegations. Right, how about we've brought crime down in
Speaker 1: the last six months twenty percent and we've had more
Speaker 1: economic value. I'm making up those numbers when we're saying
Speaker 1: if she actually had a worthwhile response, you would have.
Speaker 1: I mean, that guy's just called you out. He's just
Speaker 1: straight up said you're bad at your job. Someone says
Speaker 1: you're bad at your job, and you're good at your job.
Speaker 1: You fight back, You don't say, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: dignify that with a response, but she is bed at
Speaker 1: her job. Here's former Health Advisor President Joe Biden, doctor
Speaker 1: Michael austar Home saying that, yeah, the mass mandate was
Speaker 1: really overstated. Watched, you know, without sounding as a contrarian
Speaker 1: or somehow I'll trying to undercut public health. You have
Speaker 1: to know that I am a very pro respiratory protection
Speaker 1: masking person, but that requires an in ninety five respirator.
Speaker 1: We know it is how highly infectious this virus is,
Speaker 1: and to use facecloth carverings or even surgical masks leaves
Speaker 1: you still largely unprotected and that is a big challenge. Well,
Speaker 1: if you look at the mask mandate, it was all
Speaker 1: about the vast majority of people wearing facecloth carverings or
Speaker 1: surgical masks, or if you're on a plane and you're
Speaker 1: eating or drinking, you don't have to wear it at all.
Speaker 1: I think the mask mandate has been really overstated in
Speaker 1: terms of how much you can protect people. It sounds
Speaker 1: like me for the last two years. And I'm not
Speaker 1: some doctor who is an adviser to Biden, but I
Speaker 1: just know things. Not a moron. As everything, I to
Speaker 1: hold a line the Nose. Spin News with Bill Areley
Speaker 1: is next Field's high
