We've got 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: so much to discuss today, That's always the way it is. 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: But I'm already fired up about a Clay is fired 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: up to tell you about all of the things. And 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: we've got a big announcement for our friend mister Alex Berenson, 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: who will be joining later on. One of the ultimate 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: contrarian voices who I think we can all agree turned 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: out to be right on almost all of the major issues, 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: if not all the major issues of the pandemic, despite 12 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 1: the hysteria around it. Alex will be with us with 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: his big announcement in the third hour of the program. 14 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: We've got that, and oh, we also have updates on 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: the shooting, the shooting in Highland Park. Will discuss red 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: flag laws, parental responsibility, more information. We find here, more 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: people looking around saying if we can't stop this one, 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: we meaning the parents, law enforcement, the red flag law. 19 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: If you're not going to stop this guy, we have 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: to really rethink a lot of the processes procedures that 21 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: are in place. That's a conversation we'll certainly be having. 22 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: But today just starts with I think the recognition from 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 1: all the Biden's staffers and all the Democrats out there, 24 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: including CNN anchors and New York Times writers, etc. That 25 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: we are in July. They're back from the holiday weekend 26 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: Independence Day, which I know, independence day for a lot 27 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: of Libs. Sad fourth of July said, I don't know 28 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: if they still wish that, you know, we were subjects 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: of the British crown, but they get they get a 30 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: little sadder for too many American flags for them, those 31 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: American flags a little triggering, can be a little bit 32 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: upsetting to some on the left. But now they're coming 33 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: into this period, this July period. Clay yesterday was talking 34 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: about running out the clock. The clock is running out. 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: That is the reality they all face. How are they 36 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: going to turn this around? The sentiment polling, the party 37 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: affiliation generic Republican versus Democrat, Biden support polling, all of 38 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: this stuff, it's looking like a stock market crash from 39 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine that I get to date, right, it's 40 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: pretty rough. And Clay the quote that I think more 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: than any other that is gonna stick. You know how, 42 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes there's a quote, you know, Obama, you didn't build 43 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: that that one. People remember that one anonymous Democrat here 44 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: calls the Biden administration. I love it. Just random democrats 45 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: they're talking to. CNN reported on this the quote is rutterless, aimless, 46 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: and hopeless. I think that may be the most perfect 47 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: three word encapsulation of this White House I've ever heard. 48 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean buck that they are not desperately working behind 49 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: the scenes as we speak. I got texted this morning 50 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: by a buddy who works on Capitol Hill and he 51 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: said they are trying to pass a massive tax increase 52 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: before the end of this month because they know that 53 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: they are going to lose Congress, and once they lose Congress, 54 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: nothing is getting passed for two years. And they have 55 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: suddenly realized what the reality is that basically all they 56 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: did was come in and throw money at COVID and 57 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: then pass an infrastructure bill. Otherwise, with control of the 58 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: White House and control of the Senate and the House 59 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: of Representatives, they have not managed to implement anything that 60 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: is going to last at all. And so my concern 61 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: right now, everybody who is on the right side of 62 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: history here everyone who is a Republican needs to be 63 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: aware that this is the Biden administration's last stand and 64 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: they are going to try to push through a massive 65 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: tax increase, a further expansion of prescription drugs. They're trying 66 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: to spend a trillion more dollars before the clock runs 67 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: out on Biden's ability to pass legislation without real Republican involvement. 68 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: We talked about this book whether it might happen. It has, 69 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: and it's a recognition of what you just read about 70 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: the rudderless nature of the Biden administration. They're basically saying, 71 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: screw it, We're going to pass bills while we can. 72 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: This is our last chance there may be. This is 73 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: straight out of the Democrat playbook. This is Democrat one 74 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: O one. When in doubt, spend more of the public's 75 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: money and then tell everybody what a great job you're doing. 76 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: And that often, unfortunately works. Bring out, you know, bring 77 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: out the money hose and just spray it everywhere and 78 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: tell people, look at all the great stuff we' That 79 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: may be a little more problematic as a cell when 80 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: you have the worst inflation you've seen in forty years, 81 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: because people realize because they're feeling those The thing about 82 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: inflation is that people, people are dealing with it. It's 83 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: not a theoretical right. It's not oh well, there's crime 84 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: in other cities, but not my city. Wherever you are, 85 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: you're dealing with inflation. You're dealing with this monetary policy 86 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: disaster unfolding that's really making people feel that they can't 87 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: afford their basic bills. They can't afford and they're certainly 88 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 1: not saving, they're not getting ahead. And with all of 89 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: that going on, the let's spend more and tax more 90 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: may be less effective than it would be during a 91 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: time when things feel a little bit more normal, at 92 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: least on the inflation front. And then again, Clay, you 93 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: look at who is in charge here, and we always 94 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: say who would your draft right, who is your top 95 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: draft pick from the Biden administration? You say, you know what, 96 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: we're going to bring somebody into a future Republican administration. 97 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: Make your choice. Now. I can't think of anyone in 98 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: the Biden White House on the economic side and the 99 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: policy side that I would think that person really knows 100 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: how to get it done. But then again, there is 101 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, for example, who's out there telling everybody we're 102 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: making all the things with the prices go down or something. 103 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: So we're working on bringing down basically the cost of 104 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: what life requires for people. I mean, what does that 105 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: even mean? The cost of what life requires for people? 106 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: It's such an awkward phrasing, Buck, I mean, I know 107 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is old and not very good at speaking, 108 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: but Kamala Harris was supposed to be the future of 109 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. She can't even speak. She makes Julia 110 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: Louis Dreyfuss on Veep seem like it's not satirical enough. 111 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: Every time I see her speak, I'm left just shaking 112 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: my head over how in com that is. It's crazy. 113 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 1: And did you see, by the way, we didn't mention 114 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: this yesterday? Did you see Biden's tweet demanding that gas 115 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: prices come down over the weekend. Yes, even Jeff Bezos said, 116 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: I basically have to take aim at this. And good 117 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: for Jeff Bezos at Amazon, who obviously owns the Washington Post. 118 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: But when Jeff Bezos is calling out the White House 119 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: and there's so much misinformation out there, I know there 120 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: was supposed to be a misinformation zar, but when Jeff 121 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: Bezos is calling out the White House for their inability 122 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: to actually speak. Here's what Joe Biden said. This was 123 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: over the weekend. My message to the company's running gas 124 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: stations and setting prices at the pump is simple. This 125 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,559 Speaker 1: is a time of war and global peril. Bring down 126 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: the price you are charging at the pump to reflect 127 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: the cost you're paying for the product, and do it now. Buck. 128 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: Your average gas station owner is making a couple of 129 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: pennies on gas. And I understand. I just filled up 130 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: my tank of gas on the way into the show today, 131 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: over one hundred and thirty dollars to fill up. I 132 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: understand why people are angry about that. But the gas 133 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: stations buy in large make their money off what people 134 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: buy in the convenience store, not off the price of gas. 135 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: And this is where Bezos responded, Buck Ouch. Inflation is 136 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: far too important a problem for the White House to 137 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: keep making statements like this. It's either straight ahead misdirection 138 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: or a deep misunderstanding of basic market dynamics. That's Bezos, 139 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, just just taking an example here of at 140 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: this point in the Trump presidency versus the Biden presidency, 141 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: because we're supposed to believe that Trump doesn't know anything, 142 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: and he's so ignorant and all this, you know, all 143 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 1: the media was all saying this. Trump not only held 144 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: the line on this against the Democrats, a lot of 145 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: the policy consensus on China and trade was, oh my gosh, 146 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: if he pokes China over this, then we're gonna we're 147 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: gonna have a trade war. It's gonna be terrible, and 148 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: all these awful things gonna happen. And then people realize, 149 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: hold on a second, China is already in a trade 150 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: war with us. It's just a one way trade war. Yeah, 151 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: it just we don't we don't. We just get slapped 152 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: around in this country and American workers and American productivity suffers, 153 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: and China gets away with it. Trump came in and said, 154 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 1: I actually understand this dynamic. Let's do it my way. 155 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 1: And just to be clear, the Democrats haven't really reversed 156 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: much of the Trump talking about doing it. Did they 157 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: talk about it, but they haven't done it because they 158 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 1: realized that on tariffs, Trump was right, and Trump was 159 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: right even against some you know, conservative journals of opinion 160 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: and everything else. Joe Biden comes in and sounds like 161 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: somebody who would fail a high school economics class it 162 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: really every single time he opens his mouth about the economy. 163 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: What he is telling gas stations in this tweet, what 164 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: he's tongue to do is please start to go bankrupt 165 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: so that Democrats for less or pay for it. Yes, 166 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: that is what he is telling them. Please sell it 167 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: at a loss and maybe he'll make it up on volume. 168 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: As the old joke goes, it is outrageously stupid. But 169 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: I mean the Kamo says, you bring on the price 170 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: of stuff. Karine Jean Pierre, Here we go. Here's the 171 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: White House spokesperson. She also is trying to tell you, 172 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: don't worry, we're not in a recession. Sure, consumer spending 173 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: remains strong and above pre pandemic trends, business investment investment 174 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: remains strong, and household balance sheets remains strong. So we 175 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: do not believe that we are in a recession. Clay, 176 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: this this approach that they have of guys, things are 177 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: really good in the economy. You just don't understand they are. 178 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: They are hitting the accelerator in the car as it 179 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: is going toward the brick wall of this election. I'll 180 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,599 Speaker 1: be very surprised if we aren't already in a recession. 181 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: Now we're through the second quarter. The Atlanta Fed has 182 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: now lowered their forecast to a negative GDP growth in 183 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: the second quarter as well, and typically recessions are defined 184 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. Now they 185 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: officially announce inside of the FED, Hey, here, we are 186 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: in a recession, but I believe we're there. What the 187 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: Biden administration is trying to avoid and why they're so 188 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: desperately saying we're not is not in a recession is 189 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: because once people become aware that they're in a recession, 190 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: their buying habits change. And since two thirds of our 191 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: economy is effectively spending, right, what people do in terms 192 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: of consumer behavior does in fact go a long way 193 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: towards determining whether we're in a recession. The psychology of 194 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: recession eventually leads to recession. But we're already there. I 195 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: just want to throw it as well. The on the 196 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: one hand, you always know when somebody has a crap 197 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: argument when the argument changes every day, right, and this 198 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: is true about anything, right, I mean, you know you 199 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: see this on a range of the way the way 200 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: that they try to defend CRT in schools, right, there 201 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: is no CRT in schools. You don't know what CRT is. Oh, 202 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: actually CRT is great. That's just one example. There are 203 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: tons of examples of this. And they tell you, on 204 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: the one hand, the economy is good, it's great, best 205 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: job creation since World War Two. They tell us right there, 206 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: they have these lines, and everyone kind of goes, wait, 207 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: hold on what They're just gas lighting us, right, And 208 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: of course they are. And then you find out they say, oh, 209 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: we have no problem with energy, we have no problem 210 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: with the oil companies. We're not over regulating. You see 211 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: this The latest here from from a number of business groups. 212 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: This was up on Fox Business this morning, is that 213 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: the consumer financial Consumer Finance Protection Bureau Financial Protection Bureau 214 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: is out of control under Biden's director and just running 215 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: aroun harassing, finding and regulating businesses left and right for nonsense. 216 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: That's what's actually going on. People just don't hear about 217 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: it because the media doesn't want people to know the story. 218 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: Did you see bucking And I want to play some 219 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: audio yesterday from our good friend Karin John Pierre attempting 220 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: to respond to the Joe Biden voicemail for Hunter. But 221 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: did you see I mean, they just dropped this on Friday, 222 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 1: even in the midst of this gas price crisis. They 223 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: are declining to allow more offshore drilling. The Biden administration 224 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,359 Speaker 1: effectively banned it in the Atlantic and the Pacific. Now offshore. 225 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: This got dropped on a Friday. The Wall Street Journal 226 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: had a good article about it, but most people didn't 227 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: even notice it. So Joe Biden later this month is 228 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: going to Saudi Arabia where he is going to get 229 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: on Ben Didnee and beg the Saudis to produce more oil. 230 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: This is how you know the climate change insanity is 231 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: out of control. If we produce the oil, it's unacceptable, 232 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: But if somebody else produces the oil, it's acceptable. It's 233 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: the same impact on the economy. It doesn't matter if 234 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia or Venezuela, or Iran or Russia. The only 235 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: difference is instead of giving them billions of dollars, we 236 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: make billions of The first thing Biden jim when he 237 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: came into office day one, was canceled the Keystone XEL pipeline. 238 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: The State Department, including under the Obama administration, spent years 239 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: assessing the carbon footprint of that pipeline. You know what 240 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: I found, oils coming out of the ground one way 241 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: or another one. We can either benefit from it or 242 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: we cannot benefit from it. And you know what, the 243 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: damnist libs decided, let's let other people benefit from it 244 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: because the climate change. Because they're emotional wrecks emotional rex 245 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: but also so dishonest that this could ever have arisen. 246 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: But I wanted to speaking of dishonesty, I'm gonna play 247 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: you these clips of the White House finally getting asked 248 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: about the Joe Biden voicemail for Hunter.

Listen to 273 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: this yesterday. Why is there a voicemail of the president 274 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: talking to his son about his overseas business dealings? If 275 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: the President has said he's never spoken to his son 276 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: about his overseas business, Well, first, I'll say that what 277 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: the President said stands. So if if that's what the 278 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: President said, that that is what stands. And second secondly, 279 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: but secondly, secondly, he says, I think you're clear. How 280 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: is that not him talking to his son about his 281 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: overseas business. We're not from this podium.

Illinois does have a red flag law, 335 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: and the red flag law clearly did not act or 336 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: did not work as people would would like it to 337 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: and hope that it will in a circumstance like this. 338 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: But the Democrats are making this as they always do 339 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: about guns, guns, guns. It's only about guns, the only 340 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: thing they ever want to talk about. And here is 341 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, who is a Democrat hack 342 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: unfortunately speaking about this issue. This location is just twenty 343 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: minutes from the house I grew up in, and I 344 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: know it was extremely well. It's just another horrific reminder 345 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: of the violence, and ly the gun violence that we face, 346 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: and that we must do everything in our power too. 347 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: And we don't need any more reminders of this. Clay, 348 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: this is everyone agrees, and everyone wants no mass shootings. Okay, 349 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: we have to start. I know the left doesn't like 350 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: to actually give any good faith to the other side. 351 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: Democrats like to think Republicans are all monsters and we 352 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: all want there to be no shootings. They need to 353 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: stop acting like they have the answers because they clearly don't. 354 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: I mean, if you can't stop this person who is 355 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,640 Speaker 1: effectively visibly insane before this even happened, I mean, look, 356 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: if you were constructing a school or mass shooter for 357 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: a movie, it would be this guy, and it didn't. 358 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: They didn't stop him. So what are we supposed to 359 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: take from this? What do we say? Yesterday Buck, we 360 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: said that you and I, who are far from trained psychologists, 361 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: are psychiatrists, could watch the videos that this kid put 362 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: on social media and say he's mentally stable, mentally ill. 363 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: And yesterday I said, as a dad of three, I 364 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: don't understand how a father and a mother could ever 365 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: allow a kid like this to end up with a gun. 366 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: And here is the thing. I mean, we found out 367 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: since that he threatened to kill the family, that he 368 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: had sixteen knives, that the police had been called multiple 369 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: times to the house. And I'm reading from foxnews dot 370 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: Com right now, Buck, And this is where I get 371 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: fired up as a parent. The father of the twenty 372 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: one year old man charged with killing seven people sponsored 373 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: his son's firearm owners identification card two and a half years, 374 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: despite police being called after this kid threatened to kill 375 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: everyone in the house. So, Buck, this is where I 376 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: get really fired up about parenting out there. How in 377 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: the world did this dad allow and facilitate his kid 378 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: to get all of these firearms when he had threatened 379 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: to kill the family, and you had called the police 380 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: because you were afraid of him yourself. I mean, we 381 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: can talk about all the laws we want to pass, 382 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: and we can talk until we're red in the face, 383 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: blue in the face, whatever analogy you want to use, 384 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: but ultimately, mom and dad are in the house with 385 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: these kids all the time. They know them better than anyone, 386 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: or at least they should. How did they do such 387 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: an awful job? I mean, we don't need the government 388 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: involved here. This is just mom and dad in the house. 389 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: Your kid is so mentally ill that he's threatening to 390 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: kill the entire family with knives, and then you facilitate 391 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: and sign on to him buying multiple weapons, multiple guns. 392 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just parenting fell on steroids. Buck 393 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: and and again, no one seems willing to even hardly 394 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: have these conversations about moms and dads and the choices 395 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: that they're making. But I just I am sickened that 396 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: a dad would ever facilitate this when the kid is 397 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: threatening to kill the whole family. He's not safe in 398 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: your house, why would he be safe for other people 399 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: outside of the house. This kid needed to be committed 400 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: to an insane style. It seems the parents recklessness, Yes, 401 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: would seem to be an accurate, just huge part of 402 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: the story here of these of the parents. Now that 403 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 1: we also get this, he was on law enforcement's radar, 404 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: of course, and we just had this huge debate and 405 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: I'm when I say, just in the last few weeks 406 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: about red flag laws and red flag laws, I forget it. Was. 407 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: I think it was a center. Murphy from Connecticut said 408 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: this will save thousands of live the red flag law 409 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: legislation that was just passed at the bipart. It's not 410 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: going to do anything. It's just going to annoy some 411 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: people that are law abiding, and the criminals are going 412 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: to keep doing what they do. Here is Lake County 413 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: Sheriff's deputy telling everybody yesterday that police knew the shooter 414 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: and actually took weapons from him back in twenty nineteen. 415 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: This was a delayed report, so Highland Park still responded 416 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: to the residence a week later, spoke with Cremo, spoke 417 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,239 Speaker 1: with Primo's parents, and the matter was being handled by 418 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: mental health professionals. At that time, there was no law 419 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: enforcement action to be taken. It was a mental health 420 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: issue handled by those professionals. The second occurred in September 421 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. A family member reported that Cremo said 422 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: he was going to kill everyone, and Cremo had a 423 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: collection of knives. The police responded to his residence. The 424 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: police removed sixteen knives, a dagger, and a sword from 425 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: Cremo's home. At that time, there was no probable cause 426 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: to arrest. There were no complaints that were signed by 427 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: any of the victims. Put aside, Clay, just that the 428 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: due process violations that I think are just inherent in 429 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: red flag legislation, right, and put aside all the ways 430 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: that it could be abused and everything else, which I'm 431 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: not saying those aren't important. I'm just saying for our 432 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: discussion right now, just in terms of efficacy, Illinois has 433 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 1: red flag laws to prevent the purchasing of firearms, right, 434 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: that's what Illinois has, or to take away I should 435 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: to take away you're legally owned firearms. If it doesn't 436 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: stop this guy, If the law enforcement apparatus doesn't stop 437 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: this individual with those kinds of laws and play, who 438 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: do they stop? I just buck again, And I know 439 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: there are a lot of parents out there reacting like 440 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: I am to this. Your kid has sixteen knives, a dagger, 441 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: and a sword and is threatening to kill everyone in 442 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: your family, and then you aid and abet him in 443 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: going to buy four guns, even if he wasn't going 444 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: to do violence to you and your family, which you 445 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: evidently took seriously enough that you called the police. Think 446 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: about the kid doing violence to himself, Buck, I'm reading, 447 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: I mean the police. They thought he was going to 448 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: kill himself, Clay. So, if you were a gun dealer, 449 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: would you feel good about selling a firearm this guy 450 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: walks in? All right, we all know what he looks like, 451 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: we all know he presents. Would you feel good about 452 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,239 Speaker 1: selling this guy a rifle? I mean, I know you say, 453 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: don't judge a book by its cover. This cover was insane, obviously. Yeah, 454 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: and again I wanted the dad I'm reading from this 455 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: when he bought was under twenty one when he signed up. 456 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: There was insufficient basis to establish a clear and present 457 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: danger and deny the FOID application in Illinois. I mean, 458 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: how many kids ever have sixteen knives, a dagger, and 459 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: a sword in their possession. That's weird in and of itself. 460 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's just be honest. And then you threatened 461 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: to kill your entire family, You threatened to kill yourself, 462 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: and dad goes out and helps this mentally unstable kid, 463 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: even if he wasn't going to behave violently towards others. 464 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: What's the number one way? I bet teenagers kill themselves, 465 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: young adults kill themselves. Men they shoot themselves. So why 466 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: would you want him to have possession of weapons? At all, 467 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 1: So it is it possible? Maybe here because I'm trying 468 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: to make sense of this. You know you're a parent. 469 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a parent yet, is that you know? You 470 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: know you ever see the movie The Good Son with 471 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: McCaulay culkin. It's one of them back in the day, 472 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: right way back in the day, and he's this little 473 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: boy and it's you know, I forget where it's even said. 474 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: And he's basically evil. Okay, he's he's a little twelve 475 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: year old boy and he's evil. And the parents, of 476 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: course don't want to believe it. They don't want to 477 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: believe it. Are we just at a place where their 478 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: parents were in denial of the possibility that you could 479 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: have a child who is actually evil? I mean, by 480 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: the way, this guy's an adult. The problem is he 481 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: looks fourteen. He's actually twenty two. I would buy maybe 482 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: that you don't want to acknowledge that your kid's evil, 483 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: but or, and again, evil's probably the wrong word mentally 484 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: ill because is it the wrong word? Though? It's an 485 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: interesting question. Now, yeah, he behaved in an evil fashion, 486 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: But looking at these videos and everything else, I feel 487 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: like the kid is so clearly mentally ill that it's 488 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: hard to even assess, but what I will say is, 489 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: as a parent, you took his threats to kill the 490 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: entire family seriously enough that you called the police. That 491 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: to me means that you don't just think, oh, I'm 492 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm willfully blind. This kid's not a threat. You thought 493 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: he was a threat to your own family, and certainly 494 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: he's a threat to himself if he's threatening to kill 495 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: himself and you ate it and abetted him and going 496 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: to get weapons. I mean, look, it feels it feels 497 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: like this is somebody if you have had a dog 498 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: that was a danger to humans, and we all know 499 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: what that as a dog that had already bitten somebody, 500 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: you know, drawn real blood, send someone to the hospital, 501 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: and he said, you know what, I'm just gonna let 502 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: it off the leash and just run around the neighborhood 503 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: just to see what happens. You actually would be held 504 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: criminally responsible for that. And it's even worse than It's 505 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: like they had kids over and they said, oh, why 506 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: don't you go play with our dog in the back backyard. 507 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: Everybody out there listening to us right now, you can 508 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: be strongly in favor of the Second Amendment and gun rights. 509 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: But if you have a kid that you believe can't 510 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: handle guns, you need to speak up and you need 511 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: to speak out. It seems seriously so many missed, so 512 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: many missed miss red flags or just ineffective responses.

Welcome back in play Travis buck Sexton 541 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: Show close it out the first hour here Wednesday edition 542 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: of the program. We just had a real, I think, nuanced, 543 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: intelligent discussion about how to respond to Highland Park Kamala Harris. 544 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: She went to Highland Park. She had a lot to say. Listen, 545 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: takes seriously as seriously as you are, because you've been 546 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,760 Speaker 1: forced to have to take it seriously. The whole nation 547 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: should understand and have a level of aptitude to understand 548 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 1: that this can happen anywhere in any Peaklebon community emission 549 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: stand together, let's speak out. So she used the word 550 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: if you couldn't hear that audio necessarily fantastically well. She 551 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: used the word seriously. They're off the top about eight times. 552 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: And I'm not claiming that either Buck or I or 553 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: are perfect word smiths when it comes to speaking on 554 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: a daily basis. But Buck, if you or I were 555 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: talking to the media as frequently as Joe Biden and 556 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris are, do you have any doubt that we 557 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: would be infinitely better at speaking to the media on 558 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: how all of these issues than they are. I mean, 559 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: I just I can't believe how atrocious, in particular Kamala 560 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: Harris is, because at least you can point to Joe 561 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 1: Biden and say, hey, you know, I don't think we 562 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: do a poor job speaking now, but we're relatively young 563 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: guys relative to politicians ages. If we were eighty, I 564 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: don't know that we'd be great at it. But Kamala 565 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: is so bad at her job, which is communication. They're 566 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: really legitimately atrocious at speaking to the American public. It's 567 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: remarkable how much incompetence there is in this white US. 568 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember it was a very different I 569 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: think back to this. It was early on when I 570 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: had left the CIA and I was doing media stuff 571 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: over at the at the Blaze. Glenbeck started my career 572 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: over at the Blaze dot com. And we're covering the 573 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: covering the Obama administration. You know, this is twenty eleven, 574 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: and it was always man there. You had you had 575 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: some of these people like White House Chief of Staff 576 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: Ram Emmanuel, for example. Nobody was saying. No one thought 577 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 1: Ram Emmanuel was an idiot. Rom Emanuel was was cunning, 578 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: he was ruthless. No one thought he was dumb. You know, 579 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: I've said this about Obama. Obama wasn't dumb. I just 580 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: disagreed with Obama. Grenuously, you don't end up the editor 581 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: of the Harvard Law Review and fake your way there. 582 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to be a very smart guy there. 583 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: So but you know, just the point here we don't 584 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: do what the Democrats do is everybody I disagree with 585 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: is so dumb. I don't don't do that. We're not 586 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: saying that. That's why I bring that up as as 587 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: a preamble here, because a lot of the people in 588 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: the Biden administration are really dumb. Okay, I just it's 589 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: just the truth and I know it seems so simplistic, 590 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: but this is you have people who this is not 591 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: even there a team for the Democrats. I think you 592 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: have a lot of folks who realize that this was 593 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: probably going to be a very difficult presidency to prop up, 594 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: and a lot of the smarter people went with some 595 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: of the other younger, more inspiring candidates early on the campaign, 596 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 1: and maybe they were boxed out of Biden world. But 597 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: just you look at this, I mean, the Kamala who 598 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: is supposed to be the messenger for this administration that 599 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: anybody has any faith in, even Democrats. The answer is, 600 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think there is one. This 601 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: is a problem when checking a box. Cosmetic diversity is 602 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: a huge part of how you fill out your administration. 603 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: And that's what Joe Biden did. He's an old white guy. 604 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,399 Speaker 1: He's afraid of being a target for being an old 605 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: white guy, and so he zealously looked not towards the 606 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 1: individual talents of the members of his cabinet, but to 607 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: make sure that they all fulfilled some form of cosmetic diversity. 608 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: And nothing is a better example of that than as 609 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: Vice President than mayor Pete. You just run down the list. Buck, 610 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: we said earlier, there's no one that I trust to 611 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: be competent in this entire administration. Do you think, though, 612 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to make this seamless transition to 613 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: forget about Trump. Ron Descantis is the scariest person in 614 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: the history of the Republic. Ron Descantis is gonna bring 615 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,319 Speaker 1: it all crushing down because they're already starting. Yes, one 616 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: hundred percent. DeSantis is the new great evil on the 617 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,879 Speaker 1: horizon for Democrats. If you thought they would only say 618 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 1: it about Trump, just wait, we'll talk about it next 619 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: and you are going to enjoy it. Fleet Travis and 620 00:36:52,480 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth. Three
