1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: All right, third hour of Clay and Buck kicks off. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Now you know, Clay had to run to a flight, 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: so it's just the Buckster solo for this hour. I'll 4 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: be back with us tomorrow. Joining me right now. Our 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: friend Julie Kelly declassified is her sub stack. She's done 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: so much fantastic work on the issue of pardons for 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: j six justice involved individuals. It's the terminal left views 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: is for actual criminals, so I guess we'll find something 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: else for them. Some people say political prisoners depends. Julie. 10 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: Appreciate you being with us. I want to get into 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: I want to get into some of the appointees if 12 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,319 Speaker 1: I can here with you for a second. I'm sure 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: you're following this closely. I know you know some of 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: these individuals. What are you thinking? I from the tea 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: leaf reading that I can do, from the various senators 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 1: and statements and things they've put out, it seems like 17 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: Pete is rallying up on Capitol Hill, getting more Senators 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: to come to his side, and I would put the 19 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: likelihood of his confirmation going higher today than certainly it 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: seemed to be yesterday. 21 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: Sure that sounds about right, Buck, You know you just 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: can't allow the caving in to these hit jobs, these 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: character assassination attempts by the media and Democrats, and it 24 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: appears some Republicans are behind this as well. So by 25 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: sticking with Pete's nomination, the President and everyone else on 26 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 2: this side demonstrates that those Breck Cavanaugh days are over 27 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: and it simply will not be tolerated because if this 28 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: nomination for somehow, somehow goes south, either maybe at the 29 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: hands of a group of Republican senators who don't want 30 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: the military reforms, who want to keep pumping billions of 31 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: dollars in Ukraine and other places, you know, to keep 32 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: the laundering machine of military defense contracts going, then you 33 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: know that will be a troublesome sign. Lly think that 34 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: it was a good sign today that the President spoke 35 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: out and also Pete himself, So your announcis is probably 36 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 2: spot on right there. 37 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll continue to follow it. I just feel 38 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: like we could get more updates while we're here on air. 39 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: In this hour, let's transition to what's going on with 40 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: the j six pardons that everyone's hoping are going to 41 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: be coming. I think it will be worthwhile. Julie for 42 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: you to remind everybody of you know, in the aftermath 43 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: of the Hunter Biden pardon, for example, and there was 44 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: really no dispute over the facts. Hunter Biden committed many 45 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: many crimes, and they tried to make it go away, 46 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: or they tried to make it go away the first time, 47 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: and then they finally made it go away with the 48 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: presidential pardon the second time, and they were looking the 49 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: other way the whole time because he was a protected Democrat. This, 50 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats have started to say, makes it seem like 51 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: there's even more of a leeway. I don't know if 52 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: Trump needs it obviously, but more of a leeway for 53 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: Trump to pardon J six individuals. How do you see that? 54 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: And do they feel like, Wow, this is really, you know, 55 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: helping show the two tier justice system that we've been 56 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: subjected to exactly. 57 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: And I do have a piece up at my subject 58 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: you Classified with Julie Kelly that talks about hardening all 59 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: January sixth defendants, regardless of their charges or their convictions, 60 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: because unlike the kid glove handling of Hunter Biden, who 61 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: was never subjected to a pre dawn armed raid by 62 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: the counter Terrorism Task Force, like all these j sixers are. 63 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: I know you saw the ring camera video I just 64 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: posted the other night of an FBI swat raid at 65 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: six o'clock in the morning, just this past October of 66 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: sec of a J six subject. So Hunter Biden wasn't 67 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: subjected to the torment the J sixers, especially those on 68 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: non exists charges right concocted charges. He was handled with 69 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: kid gloves the entire process. He did not face the 70 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: true criminal charges that he should have starting with the violations. 71 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: But I do think Bock it is a gift to 72 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 2: the president and to J six defendants because it does 73 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: it has created momentum for a blanket amnesty for J sixers, 74 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: regardless of their accusations against them. So to that point, 75 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: I think it's helpful because there is internal and external 76 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 2: debate as to what a pardon for J sixers look like. 77 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: Of course, the easy, low hanging fruit, you know, the 78 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: nine hundred or so who have been charged with misdemeanors before, 79 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: common misdemeanors that are not violent, that have never been 80 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: used in this capacity or wait previously and never will again. 81 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: So it's easy to pardon those. But there is some 82 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: dispute about how to handle those who were charged or 83 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: convicted with assault school police officers. Well, even those who 84 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 2: were charged or convicted had to face this highly partisan, 85 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: rigged legal and judicial system in Washington at you and 86 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: I and Clay have been talking about for years. They 87 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 2: were all of their due process rights were violated by 88 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: the government, by the judges, and of course by jurors, 89 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: which is why the DOJ has a one hundred percent 90 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: conviction rate before Washington the se juries. Why because they 91 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,119 Speaker 2: are all Democrats who hate Donald Trump and his supporters. 92 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: So from beginning to end, Box this has been a 93 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: rigged system no American should have faced. It violates our constitution, 94 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: It violates everything that we're about. And that is why 95 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: I believe support able to depart in and if Joe 96 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: Biden can do it for his son covering eight years, 97 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: then I think the president and his team can do 98 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 2: it for they now almost sixteen hundred JAY six defendants. 99 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: What are something you mentioned someone who just had a 100 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: SWAT team recently and for J six related offenses. What 101 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: are some of the sentences that have been handed down 102 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: for people for what is essentially assault on a police officer. 103 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean, just to give us a sense of what 104 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: some of these what some of these you know, judges 105 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: have decided is fair when it comes to Trump supporters 106 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: and an assault on a police officer. I have a 107 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: feeling it was very different when it was BLM supporters 108 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: assaulting police officers, which we all got to watch for 109 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: an entire summer in twenty twenty. But give us a 110 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: sense of that, right. 111 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 2: So to your point the letter, all charges against BLM 112 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: and Antifa, all federal charges were dropped by the DCUs 113 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: Attorney and the Department of Justice. So anyone who was 114 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: charged with assaulting police, and of course the police were 115 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: the bad guys. Back then, you remember that book, right, 116 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: there were congressional hearings from Democrats about part police and 117 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: Secret Service and how they treated those protesters who were 118 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: trying to you know, they burned down part of Saint 119 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: Church across from the White House, they tried to scale 120 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 2: the White House Spence, But the bad guys in that 121 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: scenario were the police officers. January sixth, they again assaultant 122 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: and a tax protesters standing outside. They weren't doing anything 123 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: close to what the Elmina people were attempting to do 124 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, yet they received medals. They received you know, 125 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: praise by the President. They were considered heroes, not the 126 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: villains if they were just six months previously. But to 127 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: your question, egregious sentences handed down for those accused of 128 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: confrontations with police. Five seven ten years in federal prison 129 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: for a man named Tom Webster, a former New York 130 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: Police New York City Police Department officer. He was on 131 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: detailer greasing mansion. He's a former marine, has never been 132 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: in trouble in his life. He confronted a SUGDC Metro 133 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: police officer who repeatedly was shoving a woman down the 134 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: steps outside the Capitol. He got in a confrontation with 135 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: the police officer. He called him a communist, said you 136 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: don't attack American citizens. Nonetheless, the judge only allowed the 137 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: jury to see the confrontation with mister Webster in the 138 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: DC police officer, not what that police officer had been 139 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: doing ten to twelve minutes previously. Thomas Webster immediately convicted 140 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: one of the first trials in Washington in the spring 141 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two, sentenced to ten years hard time 142 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: in federal prison. Never had a criminal record. Now there's 143 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: nothing comparable, not only in Washington, DC, for a case 144 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: like first, alcona police officer in the entire country. So again, 145 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: the sentences, like every other part of this prosecution, is 146 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 2: so such a double standard of justice and it just 147 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: cannot cannot stand, and I don't think that president in 148 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: the end will allow it to stand. 149 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: Do we have any sense, truly, are you hearing anything 150 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: from your your sources and people in Trump circles that 151 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: you talk to about whether we can expect some emin 152 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: in action, right, because this is the harm, especially for 153 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: those incarcerated, is a day to day thing. It's every day. 154 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: So every day after Trump takes office that nothing has 155 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: happened is another day that they are suffering. Do we 156 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: have any indications as to how quickly these pardons may 157 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: come down or we just don't know? 158 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I I it's an issue. I think it's 159 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: a priority. I know that it's a priority with the 160 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: team and with the president. You know, it's You're it's 161 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 2: very complicated because you do have people who are in 162 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: federal prison. You've got hundreds of them in prison right 163 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: now on various charges or about to be sent to prison. 164 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: You know, they're not stopping this. So I think that 165 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 2: there are very intense internal discussions as to what can 166 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: be done on day one. I fully expect something will 167 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: be done on day one, and then how it will 168 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 2: proceed from there, what the proper venue is, whether attorney's office, 169 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: whether it's mean justice. You know how the rest of 170 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: those cases, convictions and those in prison especially are handbos so. 171 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: But you're right, every day that goes on is another 172 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: day that that incarcerated defendant and his or her family 173 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 2: members suffers. And I don't think that that sort of 174 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: suffering is something the president and his administration is going 175 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: to want to prolong. 176 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: Declassified is Julie's sub stack.

But also 186 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 2: just personally, you know, something that I think about now 187 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: all the time what this is going to mean for 188 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: these people and their families. And yes, I definitely would 189 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: love to come back on when that happens, in any 190 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: future action taken to free these political prisoners. 191 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: Julie tell everybody Julie, thank you so much. 192 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: Take care but thanks. 193 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: The Preborn Network of Clinics deserves our donations all year round, 194 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: not just on a week that includes giving Tuesday.

All right, welcome back 221 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: in Play and Buck. Here we've got the fight over 222 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: Trump nominees continuing to heat up. A lot of reporting today, 223 00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: a lot of interest, particularly in the Pete Hegseth nomine 224 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: nation for possible sectuary defense. Also, this assassination, I think 225 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: you'd have to call it that. It's certainly what it 226 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: looks like on the video. There's very clear video of 227 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: the hit happening in New York City. Police hunting for 228 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: the gunman. Now the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, in 229 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: a brazen targeted attack, killed right basically outside of our 230 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: New York City radio studio and just right in the 231 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: middle of midtown Manhattan. And just yeah, I mean, we 232 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: don't have any more details about it other than it 233 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: looks like the guy had a suppressor on a pistol 234 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: based on the video that I've seen, and took a 235 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: shot and then he's gun jammed. We tried to take 236 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: a second shot, and then he came up and shot 237 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: a few more rounds. So that's you know, that's not 238 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: something that I mean, I don't know. There's a lot 239 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: of ways that you could think this could go. To me. 240 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: It seems like somebody probably had a either a deep 241 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: personal vendetta against him, or there might be some financial 242 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: situation that we're not aware of. But we just we 243 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: have nothing to go on in terms of motive. All 244 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: we have is this video at this stage, so we've 245 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: got that. Also, I thought this was this was interesting 246 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: on the nominees for the different Trump picks. As you know, 247 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: we've said Cash Bettel is the move for FBI, and 248 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: Cash is a great guy, and I'm hoping he'll come 249 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: and join us and talk here soon about I'm hoping 250 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: he gets through to the FBI because there's a couple 251 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: of things there. Because you got a current FBI director, 252 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: he'd have to step down or be fired. I think 253 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: Trump will do that. But you know, there's a few 254 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: different pieces that are moving around there, but I think 255 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: Cash will end up as FBI director. But he was, 256 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: according to CNN here informed by the FBI, the current FBI, right, 257 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: not the one that he's supposed to be leading, that 258 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: he had been targeted as part of an Iranian cyber 259 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: attack of his personal communications. So this is all we 260 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: have on this one. But I just we're being told 261 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: here that the FBI that Cash is supposed to be 262 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: taking over taking the reins for right, has come out 263 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: and said, hey, would be FBI director, Iran has hacked 264 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: into your I'm assuming probably cell phone. I'm not sure 265 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: if the details are really out, but his personal communication, 266 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: so cell phone, right, And now I'm sitting I'm going, 267 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: why would Iran do that? 268 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: Right? 269 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: How did Iran do that? And something doesn't smell right there, 270 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Something doesn't smell right about 271 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: that situation. I don't know. Obviously it's cyber hacked. That's bad. 272 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: But I'm saying there's more to this. There's more to this. 273 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: You are in the of a deep state strikes back moment, 274 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: not just with cash but in general, because I think 275 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: the reality is setting in that there's going to be 276 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: a new sheriff in town, a bunch of new sheriffs 277 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: in town with this Trump administration. And they're serious about 278 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: the kinds of changes that they want to go forward with, right, 279 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: They're serious about reforming these institutions and getting rid of 280 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the ideological capture and the left wing 281 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: orthodoxy and some of the brainwashing even that's gone on 282 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: in there. The burrowing, the deep state, burrowing of Democrats 283 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: into places where they can influence policy but have absolutely 284 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: no oversight from the voter, where they can decide what 285 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: people can and can't do with their own land, their 286 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: own money, their own a whole range of things, and 287 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: they're just bureaucrats, right, They're not supposed to have these 288 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: kinds of powers. This is going to come to I mean, 289 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: I would like this, it's going to come to an end. 290 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: This is going to come to a very different phase, 291 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: certainly in this Trump administration that we have seen before. 292 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: That also brings me to the Pete Hegseth pick, which 293 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: the more they hate it, the more. I mean, as 294 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: I've already said, I like Pete, great guy, and I'm 295 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: hoping he gets through and I think you do a 296 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: great job. But the more they're just kicking and screaming 297 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: about it, the more I'm like, wow, hey, he is 298 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: really shaking them up. I mean, what you're getting the 299 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: sense of is you know, people talked about there's this 300 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis possibility. Also Wall Street Journal reported on that 301 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: Ron is great, I think the best governor America. I 302 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: don't know if they get as freaked out about him 303 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: being a possible Secretary of Defense as they would Pete. 304 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: And anyway, I just think it's interesting the fact that 305 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: they're so all in against Pete. You know a lot 306 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: about a person by who their enemies are, and Pete's 307 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: enemies are the absolute worst. So that's I think that's 308 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: very encouraging. I want to take your calls in this, 309 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: by the way, on all the different pick that are 310 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: in the mix here eight hundred two two two eight 311 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,719 Speaker 1: a two Let up those lines. We'll get to it, 312 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: all right. So the name Brad Thomas might be new 313 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: to you, but he's not a new name around the 314 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 1: White House.

I just saw reported New York Post 331 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: saying not a single senator is opposing Pete's nomination. So 332 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: it's looking like Pete's going to be a nexte very 333 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: defensive there. It's not official, not official, I shouldn't obviously, 334 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: not official until he has the job. But it is 335 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: looking good for him right now. We had we have 336 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: him on Capitol Hill. We're not going to play it 337 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: because you really, those of you who spent time in 338 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. No, it is just echoes everywhere in those 339 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: hallways on the marble steps. But I can tell you 340 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: Pete said he was asked by reporters. He's with his wife. 341 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: He said, I spoke to Trump this morning. He said 342 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: keep fighting. Pete's insisting he's not going to back down 343 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: and he's not going to let the media do this one. 344 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: So it looks like those senators who were having you know, 345 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Lindsey Graham just wanted some attention. I don't know, 346 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: you know, they were having some problems again with some 347 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: of the stuff that had been reported, some of it alleged, 348 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: some of it fact, but they were having issues with whatever, 349 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: or maybe they just thought that, you know, having a 350 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: guy who's not former board member of raytheon or something 351 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: as secretary of Defense is a bad idea. But anyway, 352 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: it's looking good for Pete. Happy for happy for my friend, 353 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: and I think that that will be fantastic if it 354 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: goes through. So a little bit, you know, this morning, 355 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: it was starting to be you had, you had Graham, Urkowski, Collins, Ernst. 356 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: I didn't mention this. Jony Ernst was kind of ify 357 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: on it from what I had seen, And it looks 358 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: like Pete with his up on Capitol Hill, he slipped 359 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: it around. So that means it's looking good right now 360 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: from a Senate confirmation point. He still has the President's 361 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 1: full backing, and so my expectation right now is that 362 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: Pete's actually going to get through. We've also got the 363 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: big Supreme Court oral arguments this morning on the trans 364 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: surgery for minors issue, and I just want to note 365 00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: they call it gender affirmation surgery, And isn't that that's 366 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: so interesting. You're supposed to use a term that effectively 367 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: seeds the argument it is affirming their new gender, as 368 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: if it is possible to really do that. You can't 369 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: actually change genders. It's not a thing they know. And 370 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, but gender and sex are different. I know, 371 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: they get into all the twist and turn and all 372 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: this stuff. They'll say that, and then they'll say that 373 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: a man who identifies as a woman should be able 374 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: to get into a boxing ring with a woman and 375 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: just absolutely, you know, beat her into a coma. And 376 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,959 Speaker 1: then that's fair because she's actually a woman. Right, So 377 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, they get into all this sort of 378 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: campus Wesleyan or Brown University faculty lounge talk about gender 379 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: and identity and all this stuff, but ultimately it's no, 380 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: this is a woman now, and you have to say 381 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: it's a woman. And we've seen where it goes right, 382 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: We've seen the slope is very slippery. You have to 383 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: remember that people say slippery slope fallacy. It's actually not 384 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: a fallacy. The slope is very slippery. And we have 385 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: Matt Walsh who's done great work on this. Lots of 386 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: respect for what he's done on this issue. He's taken 387 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 1: a lot of heat for it. He's got a lot 388 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: of death threats for it. He's out there in front 389 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: of he was obviously isn't live. He was out there 390 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: in front of the Supreme Court speaking on this issue. 391 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 1: You'll hear their activist sort of shouting and trying to 392 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: stop him from being able to speak. But I think 393 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: it'll be clear enough to use. We want to play 394 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: some of it. Here's here's Matt Walsh on why this 395 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: gender transition law, or banning the gender transitions of miners 396 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: in Tennessee is an absolute moral necessity and a legal 397 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: necessity for the court play. 398 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 4: We recognize three very basic truths. First, that biology is real, 399 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 4: It is immutable, It is not subject to the whims 400 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 4: of any individual or government or medical organization. Men are men, 401 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 4: Women are women. 402 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. 403 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 4: You cannot change a person's biological identity, you cannot change their. 404 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: Sex, and you should not try. 405 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 4: Second, that the most essential and fundamental duty of any 406 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 4: society is to protect their children. A country that cannot 407 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: or will not protect its children is a country that 408 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 4: deserves to die and will. 409 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: Children are innocence and helpless. 410 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 4: They know very little about themselves, very little about the 411 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 4: world around them. The third truth is this that gender ideology, 412 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 4: the radical leftist doctrine that claims that girls can be 413 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: boys and boys can be girls, and that such an 414 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 4: impossible transition can be made possible through irreversible drugs and surgery. 415 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: Gender ideology is deeply sinister. 416 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 4: It is a unique threat to children in particular. 417 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: He's right all three points. And Matt has been on 418 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: this issue for a long time and understands that they're 419 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: always shifting and always changing the arguments to avoid the 420 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: obvious truths in front of your face. Right, They're always 421 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: trying to make this about Oh, there's some other external entity, 422 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: some other organization that blesses this. Therefore you can't think 423 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: about what's really going on, or this is about being kind, 424 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: even though it's not about being kind. It's about people 425 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: telling you that you have to live a lie, you 426 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: have to live their lie. Essentially, the fact that this 427 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: has been able to go as far as it has, 428 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: which we're now at the phase already where they have 429 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: put men and women's prisons, men and women's sports, men 430 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: and women's locker rooms, this is what is inevitably was 431 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: going to turn into. And I remember this from over 432 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: a decade ago, when I would talk about this on 433 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: my show in the early days, I said, you know, 434 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: this is there's no way they're going to stop here, 435 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: because the unchangeable logic immutable, the unchangeable logic of this. 436 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: The enduring truth is that what they are telling you 437 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. And if it doesn't matter, for example, 438 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: what your genitalia is, and society is not allowed to 439 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: make rules that separate people and treat people by their 440 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: gender and treat people differently. If society is not allowed 441 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: to do that, why does some effort to change genitals 442 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: signify a change in gender. They have no answer for this. 443 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: They don't even attempt to answer this, and you know, 444 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: I know that they will occasionally play this game. They 445 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: try this sometimes and say, what about individuals who are intersex, 446 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: which is a very rare but real medical condition where 447 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: you have some formation of both male and female parts. 448 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: It can manifest itself differently. Well, those generally, in those 449 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: cases they based upon the development of those characteristics, the 450 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: person ends up living as either one or the other. 451 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: And that's not what the transagenda is about. That's not 452 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: because that's an incredibly rare condition and that's something that 453 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: is medically that is real and that does happen. But no, 454 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: they want people who have lived their life for twenty 455 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, they're in their thirties, their forties. They say, well, 456 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: now i'm a woman, you have to treat me like 457 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: I'm a woman. It's very rarely that it's and I 458 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: shouldn't say's very rare, but it's more rare that it 459 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: goes in the other direction, or a woman wants to 460 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: be male. Though the lawyer who argue this before the 461 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,199 Speaker 1: Supreme Court falls into that category. If this was just 462 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: about individual adults making choices, then I could see how 463 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people come to the okay, well it's fine, 464 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: let people make their own choices conclusion. But it never 465 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: is that. And this is what I was talking to 466 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: Clay about before he had to jet. They want you 467 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: to start. This is why the pronoun thing is so important. 468 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: The pronoun thing is so important because it is a 469 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: concession right off the bat, and they say, be polite, 470 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: use the preferred pronoun, use the preferred announce your pronoun. 471 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: So now everyone does this normalize pronoun announcement, so that 472 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: then everyone is doing it, so then it feels like 473 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: it's just this thing that's out there, and then people 474 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: can choose what they want and it's all a concerted campaign. 475 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: When we know that in a just normal society, and 476 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: look at someone that's a he, that's a she, you know, 477 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: and in a very rare moment. If you don't know, 478 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: you ask, and you get to the biological reality of 479 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: it real fast because you can tell by their voice, 480 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: you can tell by their facial features. I mean, this 481 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: is not this is not really as complicated as they 482 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: want to make it seem. But ultimately it comes down 483 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: to power, because the power to make you say things 484 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: that you know are untrue, the power to make you 485 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: go along with lies and to make you celebrate them, 486 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: to make you believe them, is the ultimate political power. 487 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this is what totalitarian systems want. For example, right, 488 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: this is something I've made quite a study of. I 489 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe it's in my next next, it's in 490 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: my book which will be coming out in the fall. 491 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,959 Speaker 1: Totalitarian systems always have to be built upon lies and 492 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: the forced belief in lies, because once people no longer 493 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: are even entitled to parse what is true and what 494 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: is false, you can tell them and make them believe 495 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: or make them live their lives as though they believe 496 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: absolutely anything. And if we're going to be a society 497 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: where a two hundred and fifty pound man with you know, 498 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: a beard and chest hair, who grows his hair long 499 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: and gets his fingernails painted because this stuff does happen, 500 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: says you know, I'm a woman now and you have 501 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: to just go along with that. And if you're a woman, 502 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: or if your daughter is a thirteen year old, she 503 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: is to change in the same dressing room and she 504 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: has This is where we have to draw a line. 505 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: And Matt Walsh is completely correct. I think the Supreme 506 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: Court is going to draw this line just on the 507 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: issue of gender affirming care, which is another way of saying, 508 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, gender transition surgery, sex change operation is what 509 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: we used to call them. I mean, interesting, why don't 510 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: we call that anymore because you're changing it. Notice they 511 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: wanted to be affirming it. The language is very important here, 512 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: which is just like what the pronoun thing. The language 513 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: component matters gender affirmation, that's what you're supposed to call it. 514 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: They're not illegal aliens, they're undocumented. Just give them documents 515 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: and then everything is fine. Right, So, now, actually they're migrants. 516 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: Now you've noticed, they've they've completely even gotten beyond the undocumented. 517 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: Now it's now migrants is the new term. And I 518 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 1: even find myself using it sometimes because unfortunately, unfortunately, and 519 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: people argue with me on this but they're wrong. Some 520 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: of the people who are here entered illegally but are 521 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: not current in an illegal status because they are pending 522 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: an asylum hearing, and our law lets them do that, 523 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 1: so that you know, and you could say, oh, but 524 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: they've they've lied. Yeah, well that's what the hearing is for. 525 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: So anyway, this is why I think the gender issue 526 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: is so important to the left as well. And this 527 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: is another one of the games they play, why do 528 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: you care about it so much? They'll say, well, why 529 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: do they care about it so much? They're the ones 530 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: that have made this a big issue. I know. I'm 531 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: not sitting here saying that there should be trans individuals 532 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: competing against men in sports. You know, I'm not the 533 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: one pushing this or sorry, competing against women in sports, 534 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I just think it's 535 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: so important that we're able to say what is true. 536 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: If we lose what is true, what's the point of 537 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: free speech? If we lose what is true? What's the 538 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: point of the First Amendment? And you know that's you know, 539 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: that's where it is. Look, I u uh man, it's 540 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: so much of a seesaw here. I'm now, I'm not 541 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: getting people telling me some inside. It's so hard. This 542 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: is all an info op, right, And I'm just going 543 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: on what people are telling me that they've heard from 544 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: other people. But now I'm hearing a couple of senators 545 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: are getting a little uh uh oh. No, I'm sorry. Well, 546 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: they they're they're they're gonna be hm. I gotta I 547 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: gotta parse this a little bit. There are some senators 548 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: who may be still concerned. It's different reporting on. This 549 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: is all I'm saying. Anyway, I think I think Pete's 550 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: I think Pete's right now as of today. I think 551 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: he's got the senators he needs on his side. Man, 552 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: what a what a seesaw? This is come back. I'll 553 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: take some of your calls, also take some of your 554 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: VP emails to help close us out in just a minute. 555 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: To my fellow firearms owners, I was actually rearranging my 556 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: gun closet yesterday, which I gotta tell you, I'm not 557 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: a big closet rearranger, but this was fun. You know 558 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: the value of a great day. It's a range, and 559 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: while it's got everything you need, those visits can get expensive, 560 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: particularly because of all that Ammo man. I bought Ammo 561 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: recently bought a whole bunch of nine millimeter is.

It turns into like a game and you realize, Wow, 569 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: the shooting mechanics, the basic mechanics, particularly the trigger pull, 570 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: that is so important. I've got some bad habits and 571 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: I'm still working on. Mantis X helps me with them. 572 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: I tend to I tend to pull and anticipate and 573 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: drop a little left, drop a little left.

I've been to his room 591 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: many years ago. I would love to go back. I 592 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: will go back at some point and something else that 593 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to get you before we close up shop today. 594 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 3: The the judge who was overseeing the case against Hunter Biden, 595 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 3: Federal Judge Mark Scarze, wrote a. 596 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: Scathing judicial opinion where he noted that Biden lied about 597 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: his son in his presidential pardon. I won't get into 598 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: all this. It goes into some details, but the long 599 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: and the short of it is the whole. Oh, but 600 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: Hunter was a drug addict. That's why he didn't pay 601 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: his taxes. No, Hunter had, by his own admission, stop 602 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: using drugs at that point, set up LLCs and was 603 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: trying to be sophisticated in his tax evasion, So that 604 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: is a lie. So I just think it's so perfect 605 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: it encapsulates who Joe Biden really is that even when 606 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: he's pardoning his son for his serial criminal violations that 607 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: were blatant, that were egregious, and that any other American 608 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 1: would go to prison for, he lies to make it 609 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 1: seem Joe Biden lies to make it seem like you 610 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: should have even more sympathy for his son, that somehow 611 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: here you go. Two federal judges expressly rejected mister Biden's 612 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: argument that the government prosecuted Biden because of his familiar 613 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: relation to the present sident and the president's own attorney 614 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: general and justice personnel oversaw the investigation leading to the charges. 615 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: In the President's estimation, this legion of federal civil servants 616 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 1: are unreasonable people. The Constitution provides the president with broad 617 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the 618 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: United States, But nowhere does the Constitution give the president 619 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: the authority to rewrite history. End quote. Yeah, President's a liar, 620 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: and not a liar about little things. Not a liar 621 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: about his golf game, which apparently is not very good either. 622 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: According to Trump, he's a liar about the big stuff 623 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: and always has been and always will be. And he 624 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: fell asleep in a meeting, you know, a public meeting 625 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: in Africa in Angola. So you know the fact that 626 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: this guy's still even the president just goes to show you. 627 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: I mean, how can they have a problem with any 628 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: of Trump nominees for posts under him under his administration 629 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: when Joe Biden's the president and we think about that 630 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: for a second, So they can have a dementia pation 631 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: as the president. But we're supposed to demand perfection or 632 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, however you want to frame it. But Trump 633 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: is not supposed to get the appointees that he wants 634 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: for his cabinet. That strikes me as that strikes me 635 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: as quite unfair, doesn't it. Thanks for being here with us, 636 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: one or mindy.
