Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Shoe podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. More bad news on
Speaker 1: the economic front for the American people, as the GDP
Speaker 1: in this country shrank by one point four percent last quarter,
Speaker 1: well blow the one percent growth that had been predicted
Speaker 1: by economists. Surprise, Oh yeah, such a surprise. Democrats are
Speaker 1: blaming the economic slowdown on everything from Vladimir Putin to
Speaker 1: people not paying their fair share to anyone who's been
Speaker 1: paying attentions in twenty twenty one. Just the latest evidence
Speaker 1: that Bidenomics is not working for the American people. Friends,
Speaker 1: it is time for holding on. Welcome to holding on on,
Speaker 1: buck Sexton. Bad economy. Biden can't turn it around, and
Speaker 1: he's responsible for so much of the crappy decision making
Speaker 1: as we've seen. So what are they gonna do. Well,
Speaker 1: they're gonna lie to you about it. They're gonna try
Speaker 1: to hide the football. They're gonna try to pretend that
Speaker 1: it's someone else's fault. But we're not going to let
Speaker 1: them get away with that. Here's a graphic that'll show
Speaker 1: you where we are right now. GDP growth in the
Speaker 1: Biden administration and a sad Biden face. They're one point
Speaker 1: four percent down in this quarter. Now, this is this Isiden,
Speaker 1: very solemn face. This is of course, what could be
Speaker 1: the beginning of a recession. You get two quarters of
Speaker 1: negative economic growth, you are officially in a recession. And
Speaker 1: we could well be seeing that because remember inflation is
Speaker 1: at a forty year high eight point five percent for
Speaker 1: the last month, which is a lot, and that is
Speaker 1: just eating away at any economic gains, any financial gains
Speaker 1: folks could have. So how do the people American people
Speaker 1: feel about the economy right now? Well, two percent think
Speaker 1: it's excellent, and I think they're probably in the employee
Speaker 1: of the West wing of this White House and or
Speaker 1: just completely disconnected from reality. Maybe they can't read a survey,
Speaker 1: or they like being more poor than they were before.
Speaker 1: Eighteen percent say good, Yeah, those are left wing Democrats
Speaker 1: who hate Trump so much. That's down twenty six percent
Speaker 1: from last year. By the way, forty two percent say poor,
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent say fair. I mean, these are huge
Speaker 1: increases in the negative direction for the economy because things
Speaker 1: are not going well. People actually can observe this, right,
Speaker 1: you see what's going on with the price of gas.
Speaker 1: You see how much more expensive your grocery bill is.
Speaker 1: You know that, you feel that that's real. They can
Speaker 1: tell you it's not, but you know that they're lying
Speaker 1: to you. So that's an issue. Biden's got to figure
Speaker 1: a way to spin this because they are heading into
Speaker 1: a nightmarish mid term election. Going to be so great
Speaker 1: for America, freedom and all that is good in the world,
Speaker 1: but the Democrats are going to be really sad. Despite
Speaker 1: the GDP drop for the first quarter, Biden wants you
Speaker 1: to know, there's enormous, enormous growth in the economy. Watch
Speaker 1: this one. I think we're what you're seeing is enormous
Speaker 1: growth in the country that it was affected by everything
Speaker 1: from COVID and the COVID blockages that we've occurred along
Speaker 1: the way, COVID blockages or something, you know whatever, something
Speaker 1: like that. Right, No, no, No, What you've actually seen is,
Speaker 1: first of all, we spend too much money and lockdowns
Speaker 1: which were championed by Democrats, but they did occur under
Speaker 1: the Trump administration at some level too. So we do
Speaker 1: need to be cognizant of reality because we're not the left,
Speaker 1: We're not going to make it up. Here, we spend
Speaker 1: too much money. The inflation is a problem. Remember, the
Speaker 1: Democrats want to spend even more money though already beyond
Speaker 1: the existing the existing deficit spending that's going to be
Speaker 1: going on based on automatic spending in the federal budget.
Speaker 1: So they're crazy. I mean, they're just going to make
Speaker 1: this whole thing worse. But what are they going to do? Well?
Speaker 1: You see the politics of envy and of class warfare
Speaker 1: are always the go to for Democrats because people are
Speaker 1: feeling the pain right now at the pump, at the
Speaker 1: grocery store, paying their mortgage. Go try to buy a
Speaker 1: used car, You'll say to yourself, mine, gosh, this has
Speaker 1: gotten really expensive used cars. Both think about that. And
Speaker 1: Joe Biden says that if we really want to turn
Speaker 1: this thing around, you know, we have to do again,
Speaker 1: like I said, a little class warfare. Let's just talk
Speaker 1: about how Republicans need to pay their fair share. Why
Speaker 1: for our Republican friends are really interested in doing something
Speaker 1: about dealing with the economic growth, and they should help
Speaker 1: us continue to lower the deficit, which we've done last
Speaker 1: year over three and fifty billion dollars. They should be
Speaker 1: willing to work with us to have a tax code
Speaker 1: that is actually one that works, and everybody pays their
Speaker 1: fair share, and they should be in a position where
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be raising taxes on middle class folks. You
Speaker 1: should be raising taxes on people who everyone acknowledges in
Speaker 1: the vast majority of Republicans on paying their fair share.
Speaker 1: The vast majority of Republicans, notices aren't paying their fair
Speaker 1: share last time I checked. You know, Jeff Bezos is
Speaker 1: a huge Democrat, big lid, and go down the list.
Speaker 1: A lot of the richest people in the country, in
Speaker 1: the world are Democrats. We know this, right. Nancy Pelosi's
Speaker 1: super rich, He's a Democrat. There's so many rich Democrats. Hollywood,
Speaker 1: New York City, the Upper East Side, Santa Monica. These
Speaker 1: are all Democrats strongholds. In fact, the wealthiest parts of
Speaker 1: every city in the country are overwhelmingly Blue Democrats stronghold.
Speaker 1: So what is he even talking about. Republicans have to
Speaker 1: pay their fair share. Yeah, okay, a small business owner
Speaker 1: who lives in Oklahoma is making fifty grand a year.
Speaker 1: He's not paying his fair share. A lot of Republicans
Speaker 1: just like that, folks. It's all just blather from these idiots,
Speaker 1: because what are they gonna say, we're bad at our jobs,
Speaker 1: we don't know what we're doing. Our whole class warfare
Speaker 1: stick isn't going to get it done. I mean, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden somehow maybe what was it, seventeen million dollars after
Speaker 1: he was vice president. That's interesting, five million of it unexplained,
Speaker 1: by the way. But oh, he's just fighting for the folks.
Speaker 1: You see, he cares about the working class, sure he does.
Speaker 1: You know who else pretends that cares so much about
Speaker 1: the working class, Chuck Schumer. And now that they're saying
Speaker 1: as well, Republicans who aren't in power and don't get
Speaker 1: to make decisions, they're not doing anything to make this better.
Speaker 1: Here's the Senate majority leader. Democrats are focused like a
Speaker 1: laser on developing and passing legislation to lower costs and
Speaker 1: improve americans daily lives. It is our top priority, and
Speaker 1: higher gas prices is the place where Americans feel it
Speaker 1: the most. But passing legislation to fight higher gas prices
Speaker 1: at the pump is at the very top of our list.
Speaker 1: The American people didn't send us here to just point
Speaker 1: fingers a blame at each other. That seems to be
Speaker 1: what our colleagues on the other side of the ai'll do.
Speaker 1: They don't have any constructive suggestions, no constructive suggestions. How
Speaker 1: about get out of the way, stop taxing people, stop
Speaker 1: with your regulation, unleash the energy sector, fossil fuel energy,
Speaker 1: that is is, stop telling industry that you're going to
Speaker 1: be taxing them even more, Stop telling people that they're
Speaker 1: not paying their fair share. Get out of the way.
Speaker 1: America is the greatest engine of economic prosperity and growth
Speaker 1: of any country in history. Get out of the way lives.
Speaker 1: But they won't do it. Fact Pelosi, who somehow it's
Speaker 1: really good at investing in the stock market for somebody
Speaker 1: who has a whole lot of what would be considered
Speaker 1: inside information, right but anyway, Nancy Pelosi, but they're exempted
Speaker 1: from that. As you know, Congress doesn't really have to
Speaker 1: play by insider information laws the same way as other people.
Speaker 1: Belosi says that it's exploitation by the oil companies. That's
Speaker 1: the problem for gas prices. Watch so lowering cost at
Speaker 1: the pump, lowering cost at the kitchen table. That's what
Speaker 1: Democrats are about. And again we're going to beginning down
Speaker 1: this path with very serious legislation that is for now
Speaker 1: recognizing COVID and what that has done to supply the Ukraine,
Speaker 1: what that has done to supply, but ignizing there is
Speaker 1: an ongoing exploitation and manipulation that its own fair to
Speaker 1: America's working families. Ah Yes, brainless pseudo populism. Courtesy of
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. We'll have more on today's disappointing economic news
Speaker 1: with economists Steve Moore. We come back for a moment.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about protecting your home. Because can someone steal
Speaker 1: your home online? Well, yeah, in a sense, they can.
Speaker 1: It's called home title theft. Here's what they do, the
Speaker 1: bad guy cyber thieves. They forge a document stating you
Speaker 1: sold your home to them because your home's title exists online,
Speaker 1: and then they take out loans against your home and
Speaker 1: stick you with the payments. You often won't find out
Speaker 1: about this until you get the payment demands to the mail,
Speaker 1: perhaps even an eviction notice from your home. Here's what
Speaker 1: I think you should do. Okay, register your home address
Speaker 1: right now at home tuttlelock dot com. You'll see if
Speaker 1: you're already a victim, you might not even know it yet,
Speaker 1: and you can actually protect your home when you sign up.
Speaker 1: Tell them Buck Sex and sent you you've got a
Speaker 1: listener discount hometuntlelock dot com Again, that's home tetlelock dot com.
Speaker 1: Even more coming up next. Stay with us. I'm concerning
Speaker 1: you about a recession given the GDD reports nation the
Speaker 1: contraction at one point four percent. Well, I'm not concerned
Speaker 1: about a recession. I mean, you're always concerned about that recession.
Speaker 1: But the GDP, you know, filled to one. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know whatever that's supposed to mean. Despite the bad news
Speaker 1: about America's economic growth, President Biden is saying he's, you know,
Speaker 1: not that worried about our recession. Really probably worth noting
Speaker 1: he wasn't worried about the long term effective inflation either.
Speaker 1: But here we are at least one major financial institution
Speaker 1: is worried about a recession. This week, economist at Deutsche
Speaker 1: Bank predicted a quote major recession could be on its way,
Speaker 1: claim it would likely be worse than the investment bank
Speaker 1: initially predicted. So could America be headed for recession or
Speaker 1: is there still time to let's say right the plane
Speaker 1: I mean now. Senior economic at FreedomWorks, Steve Moore, Steve,
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Thank you. I mean, so
Speaker 1: just put it in the context. How bad is the
Speaker 1: news today before I get the predictions and the other
Speaker 1: things going here? One point five I'm sorry, one point
Speaker 1: four percent GDP decrease. What's that like? It's very negative
Speaker 1: and it's shockingly negative. I mean, first of all, anytime
Speaker 1: you get a negative number on GDP, that's bad. It
Speaker 1: means the economy is contracting. It means people are getting poorer.
Speaker 1: But more importantly, you know, we should be booming right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, COVID is over, businesses are reopening,
Speaker 1: people are going out back out to restaurants and stores.
Speaker 1: You've got the all of these factors that should be
Speaker 1: We should be bib or six or seven percent positive
Speaker 1: growth right now. And I think if Trump for president,
Speaker 1: that's about where we would be. It's amazing how much
Speaker 1: bideness screwed up this economy in fourteen months now. The
Speaker 1: driving factor behind this bad report was inflation. Inflation is
Speaker 1: the villain here. If you look at the nominal GDP,
Speaker 1: that's the GDP not adjusted for inflation, there was a
Speaker 1: solid number. We grew by five five and a half percent.
Speaker 1: The problem is all of those gains were just eroded
Speaker 1: by this tidal wave of inflation. That's how we got
Speaker 1: a negative number. So you better do something, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: about spending, which is why yesterday when he announced that
Speaker 1: we're going to forgive one point six trillion dollars of
Speaker 1: debt and you have the federal government pay that off,
Speaker 1: and then today he says we're gonna have another thirty
Speaker 1: three billion dollars for Ukraine. They're just spending money like
Speaker 1: it's candy, and that's the driving force of this inflation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to ask just a little more about that
Speaker 1: specific points, Steve, because they're now saying, of course it's
Speaker 1: the Putin price hike, which that's not going to fly
Speaker 1: there because we can see inflation was starting long before
Speaker 1: what happened in Ukraine. That's talking point fell away pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: But they are saying, well, there was a lot of
Speaker 1: spending that occurred during lockdowns, let's say, and under the
Speaker 1: Trump administration, and so this is really you're hearing this argument.
Speaker 1: Biden only spent one point nine trillion of emergency COVID
Speaker 1: funding in twenty twenty one. It was all that Trump
Speaker 1: indoors spending in twenty twenty that was the problem. What
Speaker 1: do you say to that? Sure, I mean we spent
Speaker 1: poor order five trillion dollars we didn't have on COVID,
Speaker 1: you know, so it's true. Okay, that's reality. All this
Speaker 1: money we borrowed, more money than we possibly could. You
Speaker 1: have to wonder what did we get from four to
Speaker 1: five trillion dollars? A million people still died of COVID.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think if we just a department of
Speaker 1: government just help people be safe, do the right thing.
Speaker 1: This is a dangerous virus. You know, all this money
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been spent and we wouldn't have this big
Speaker 1: problem with inflation. Right now. We've got to get the
Speaker 1: spending down. We've got to get you know, America drilling
Speaker 1: again and getting our energy independent again, and the FED
Speaker 1: is going to have to suck some of this inflation
Speaker 1: out of the economy. Now. I've done a number of
Speaker 1: interviews today. People always ask, well, wasn't that going to
Speaker 1: hurt the economy if we if we try to fight
Speaker 1: the inflation. And my point is, look, if if if
Speaker 1: I had a diagnosis said you've got a tumor, the
Speaker 1: first thing you do is take out the tumor, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this idea that we just let
Speaker 1: this inflation linger. The longer lingers, the worse it's going
Speaker 1: to get. We haven't had inlay you know this. We
Speaker 1: haven't an inflation like this in forty years. We had
Speaker 1: one point five percent inflation when Trump left. Fourteen months later,
Speaker 1: we're eight and a half percent. And again, the match
Speaker 1: that lit this forest fire was out of control government
Speaker 1: spending and yes some of it was under Trump, and
Speaker 1: then Biden came in and spent another three trillion. So
Speaker 1: you published a piece on foxens dot com today in
Speaker 1: which you warned about stagflation. Just remind everybody what would
Speaker 1: that look like and why do you think we could
Speaker 1: be heading towards stagflation? Well, for those who are not
Speaker 1: familiar with that term, because we haven't had it for
Speaker 1: a long time in America, stagflation is the combination of
Speaker 1: runaway inflation, which we clearly have right now, plus a retreating,
Speaker 1: shrinking economy. Now we're not in a segulation now again,
Speaker 1: if we, if we, the economy couldn't rally this quarter.
Speaker 1: But it remembered, two quarters in a row of negative
Speaker 1: growth is officially any recession. So we've had one quarter,
Speaker 1: we get one more quarter. We are technically in a recession.
Speaker 1: I still think there's time to adjust to this. But
Speaker 1: when I hear Biden talk about, you know, we're a
Speaker 1: raise spending, and then I hear Chuck Schumer yesterday saying
Speaker 1: the best way to fight inflation was the major tax increase. Really,
Speaker 1: how in the world is a major tax increase going
Speaker 1: to cause the economy to do better? A very good
Speaker 1: question I'm wondering. I was gonna ask you about it.
Speaker 1: Here here's Pelosi and Schumer blaming oil company profiteering and
Speaker 1: hoarding for high Guy's process watch. They are hoarding the
Speaker 1: windfall while keeping prices high for people at the pump.
Speaker 1: And this time of war, at any time, there's no
Speaker 1: excuse for big oil companies to protect, to profiteer, to
Speaker 1: price gal or exploit families. Oil companies last year made
Speaker 1: record profits on these tragedies, almost like vultures. We have
Speaker 1: the Ukraine tragedy, we have the COVID tragedy, and do
Speaker 1: they try to make things better? No, they come in
Speaker 1: and make record profits. What do you say to that
Speaker 1: all companies are in business to make money and to
Speaker 1: make profits, And are we supposed to believe that all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Joe Biden came into office, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, these companies got greedy. I mean, companies
Speaker 1: always try to make as much money as they can.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't have this crisis in energy and the high
Speaker 1: gas prices that are reaching five and in some cases
Speaker 1: six dollars a gallon around the country if we just
Speaker 1: continue to promote American oil and gas. Let's not forget that.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden said multiple times when he was running for
Speaker 1: president and even as president that his objective and many
Speaker 1: of his of his aides have said the same thing.
Speaker 1: We want to destroy the American oil and gas industry.
Speaker 1: So they reduced dramatically the amount of oil and gas
Speaker 1: we produce, and guess what happens. That means the price
Speaker 1: goes up. And for those oil companies that have the
Speaker 1: oil gas, they have gotten a profit out of this,
Speaker 1: because the price of oil under Biden went from sixty
Speaker 1: dollars to one hundred and ten dollars a barrel. What
Speaker 1: are we looking at in the next six months. It
Speaker 1: feels like we've got some bad indicators here. Inflation is
Speaker 1: obviously at this forty year high, and the Biden administration
Speaker 1: when they come. It would be one thing if they
Speaker 1: were saying, Stephen, that they were going to do the
Speaker 1: right things to fix it. But sometimes it sounds like
Speaker 1: they're trying to make it worse exactly. That's what makes
Speaker 1: me so nervous about this. You know, they want to
Speaker 1: spend more, they want to tax more. There was a
Speaker 1: new regulation that came out last week that's going to
Speaker 1: cost our companies six billion dollars to comply. You know
Speaker 1: the fact that the borders out of control, the rising
Speaker 1: energy prices reverberate throughout the economy. We now have globally
Speaker 1: a food shortage, which is a you know, it could
Speaker 1: be a catastrophe, is real hunger and even a famine
Speaker 1: in many areas of the world. So these are troubling times.
Speaker 1: And I just want to point again to the fact
Speaker 1: that we've let this inflation monster out of the bottle
Speaker 1: and it's hard to get hard to stick that genie
Speaker 1: back in the bottle. But we better do it quickly
Speaker 1: because there's no way we're going to get growth in
Speaker 1: the economy if you've got eight nine percent inflation, it's
Speaker 1: almost impossible. Steve, appreciate the expertise as always, Thanks for
Speaker 1: being I wished I had a better upbeat thing. We
Speaker 1: can still get as as my buddy Larry Cudloy says,
Speaker 1: the cavalry is coming, but right now the policy regime
Speaker 1: in Washington is very negative. Yeah, obviously that's what we
Speaker 1: see happening. Steve, thanks so much, Thank you, Thank care
Speaker 1: of President Biden yesterday declared a room full of teachers
Speaker 1: that America's children are quote yours when they're in the classroom.
Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't like that one. My parents disagree.
Speaker 1: We've got more on it with New York Post Commis
Speaker 1: Carol Markowitz in a moment. I want to talk to
Speaker 1: you about protecking your online data. First, A lot of
Speaker 1: companies say your privacy is guaranteed. We know that's not true.
Speaker 1: That's why you need a new privacy and cybersecurity application
Speaker 1: called Secure. Its spelled SEK. You are. Security is using
Speaker 1: proprietary encryption and offering secure instant messaging and email with
Speaker 1: secure all of your communications based on service and data
Speaker 1: centers hosted in Switzerland without using any of the big
Speaker 1: tech platforms. Privacy is a big issue now. Without real security,
Speaker 1: people can read your emails, messages, even your bank information.
Speaker 1: Secure will never mind your data and never ask for
Speaker 1: your phone number. You can send emails to your doctor, banker, lawyer,
Speaker 1: or anyone with total confidence you're not being spied on
Speaker 1: by your internet provider or big tech. Secure is your
Speaker 1: solution to stop the constant theft of your digital identity.
Speaker 1: Costs only five dollars to the messenger, only ten dollars
Speaker 1: to the messenger and email combination packet. Go to secure
Speaker 1: dot com and take back your privacy today. That's sekure
Speaker 1: dot com and use promo code buck for twenty five
Speaker 1: percent off. We'll be right back with more. Hold the line.
Speaker 1: And our Board of Education, we we ban critical race theory.
Speaker 1: And so people in corporate media and on the left,
Speaker 1: what do they say, say, Oh, these conservatives they don't
Speaker 1: want to teach about slavery or anything like that, which
Speaker 1: is nonsense. Florida's statutes say, you know, teach about all
Speaker 1: these different things, including things like slavery in the civil
Speaker 1: rights movement. That is not critical race theory. I mean,
Speaker 1: that is just those are historical facts. That's part of
Speaker 1: American history. And so we're doing all of that. About
Speaker 1: what we've said to teachers is those are the standards
Speaker 1: if you're if you're departing from that and you're teaching
Speaker 1: kids based on race, or if you're doing any of
Speaker 1: this stuff, you're departing from the standards, and you could
Speaker 1: be you could be disciplined as a result of that.
Speaker 1: Evorada Santists has put his state of Florida at the
Speaker 1: forefront of the battle against critical race theory and woke
Speaker 1: teachers unions from rejecting certain public school textbooks to enacting
Speaker 1: the parent Parents' Rights in Education Bill Zennis has led
Speaker 1: a push to form education standards and practices in the sunshine.
Speaker 1: So when will others follow suit? See the light? Let's
Speaker 1: ask New York Post columnist Carol Markowitz. Carol, great to
Speaker 1: have you give up. Thanks for having me. It's amazing,
Speaker 1: isn't it? To watch as the narrative shifted, because early
Speaker 1: on they were they were talking about this don't say
Speaker 1: gay bill, and it sounds, of course, so ominous, that
Speaker 1: sounds horrible. You're gonna say you can't say that we're gay.
Speaker 1: I mean, the left censor's words and says you can't
Speaker 1: say things. Of course, that's not in the bill. That's
Speaker 1: not the name of the bill. The whole thing was
Speaker 1: a big propaganda fight from the activists, and turns out
Speaker 1: people in the state of Florida and actually crossed the country,
Speaker 1: including Democrats, are supportive of it. It's such an obvious thing.
Speaker 1: Who wants their case through third grader learning about sexual
Speaker 1: orientation or any kind of gender you know, mishmash that
Speaker 1: they have going on right now. I think that's such
Speaker 1: a basic thing for so many parents. And the thing
Speaker 1: was about this don't say gay bill is It's just
Speaker 1: as much don't say straight straight is a sexual orientation.
Speaker 1: So the idea that you couldn't talk about gay relationships,
Speaker 1: you can't talk about any relationships, you can't get into
Speaker 1: sexual orientation at all. And I think that's a great thing.
Speaker 1: I have a kindergartener, I have a third grader, and
Speaker 1: I have a sixth grader, and I know that the
Speaker 1: sixth grader can handle things that the younger two just
Speaker 1: simply can't. Seems like common SAIS is something that the
Speaker 1: state of Florida is embracing. And I also think that
Speaker 1: as Democrats continue to speak on the issue of schools
Speaker 1: and the teachers unions and shutdowns and CRT and gender
Speaker 1: identity theory and all this other stuff, more and more
Speaker 1: Americans saying what's going on here? And then there's just
Speaker 1: the general philosophy the Democrats seem to have. I mean,
Speaker 1: this was just just recently Biden talking to a room
Speaker 1: full of teachers. This is what This is what he
Speaker 1: said to a room full of teachers. Watch. You've heard
Speaker 1: me say many times about our children, but it is true.
Speaker 1: They're all our children. And the recent years the teachers
Speaker 1: are the years because you recognize that they're not somebody
Speaker 1: else's children are like yours when they're in the classroom.
Speaker 1: They're not somebody else's children. They're like yours when you're
Speaker 1: in the classroom. I don't have kids. You do, but
Speaker 1: I'm guessing you don't think that that your kids belong
Speaker 1: to the teachers too. I'm just saying, nobody was cleaning
Speaker 1: up puke three nights ago, and my kids were all
Speaker 1: sick overnight except me. So unless somebody wants to step
Speaker 1: in and help out with that, they're not their kids
Speaker 1: and my teacher. My kids have had really phenomenal teachers,
Speaker 1: both in Florida and in New York, who cared a
Speaker 1: lot about them, who worried about them, who made sure
Speaker 1: that they were okay, But when my kids went to
Speaker 1: the next grade, those teachers didn't like feel longing for
Speaker 1: them like I will when they go to college, for example.
Speaker 1: It's a very different relationship. It's nice for a teacher
Speaker 1: to care about their students, but it's not a parental
Speaker 1: relationship at all. And the idea that these kids belong
Speaker 1: to anybody but the parents, it's step one in this fight.
Speaker 1: Those are my kids and they're not anybody else's kids.
Speaker 1: And I think that there's also an awakening that has
Speaker 1: happened across the country in Florida very much on the
Speaker 1: forefront of this, and that is who are the schools really?
Speaker 1: Who is operating the school system and to whose benefit?
Speaker 1: Right during the pandemic in particular, Florida was open much faster,
Speaker 1: much sooner in terms of its schools than so many
Speaker 1: other places. Here is the American Federation of Teachers, I
Speaker 1: call her the Education Commissar Randy Weingarten talking about how
Speaker 1: Republicans just hate public schools. Watch. The bottom line is this,
Speaker 1: they just don't want public schools, you know, they you know,
Speaker 1: Milton Friedman didn't want public schools, and they wanted to
Speaker 1: have choice or universal voucher systems, but this time they
Speaker 1: don't even care if they even have public education, and
Speaker 1: they won't brutalize anyone who is in their way. What
Speaker 1: do you make of this, Carol? So you know, I
Speaker 1: have three kids in public schools, and it's very interesting
Speaker 1: because in Florida I feel safe leaving them in book
Speaker 1: schools because I know that Randy Winegarden simply won't have
Speaker 1: the kind of control over them that she has in
Speaker 1: places like, say in New York, and part of a
Speaker 1: large part of that is Governor de Santists and the
Speaker 1: laws that he is passing. I feel confident that my
Speaker 1: kids won't be brainwashed into leftism here, and that's such
Speaker 1: a big thing for parents. I'm not against public schools again.
Speaker 1: I could send my kids to private I choose not to.
Speaker 1: And I think the idea that that conservatives hate public
Speaker 1: schools and want to smash them is ridiculous. And nobody
Speaker 1: did more to smash the public school system than Randy Winegarden.
Speaker 1: She said that schools were not essential, basically, and we
Speaker 1: believed her. So I'm very much for school vouchers to
Speaker 1: get kids out of the public school systems where Winegarden
Speaker 1: has a lot of control. But for places like Florida,
Speaker 1: where Ronda Santist stands between us and these insane teachers unions,
Speaker 1: you know, public schools were great. What are you what
Speaker 1: are you seeing right now from the governor? I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously the Parents Rights Bill covered a number of issues,
Speaker 1: but just the what is the overall philosophy that he's
Speaker 1: using for the public school system in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if this could be a model for
Speaker 1: some other states because on the pandemic, I'll just say it,
Speaker 1: Florida was the model and it's why you live there now. Florida,
Speaker 1: Florida was the beacon of sanity and actual usage of
Speaker 1: data while all these other places completely lost their minds.
Speaker 1: So what does that look like from education content? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's really what I'm thinking that it's going to be
Speaker 1: a model for other states to follow if they, you know,
Speaker 1: take the lead. I think that they should. I think we'll.
Speaker 1: Governor to Santis is doing is presenting a very kid's
Speaker 1: first model of schooling, which is something we just simply
Speaker 1: haven't had for a while. This leftism, this leftist vocism
Speaker 1: that spreading in public schools around the country it's very serious,
Speaker 1: it's very damaging, and it's and you know, we started
Speaker 1: this conversation with whether CRT it means not teaching history.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. As round To Santa said in the first clip,
Speaker 1: the CRT means that you'll have less time for history,
Speaker 1: you won't be learning enough math. It really will have
Speaker 1: a long term harm on academics. So parents who want
Speaker 1: their kids to learn should motivate their politicians to follow
Speaker 1: round to Santis's lead. And I just want to know
Speaker 1: what you think of the ability to mobilize parents going
Speaker 1: into this midterms. Are there still folks? Probably less so
Speaker 1: in Florida because things have been better there in terms
Speaker 1: of the schools being open. But do you get the
Speaker 1: sense that parents will perhaps surprise people in Virginia. We
Speaker 1: saw this, let's say, with the Young Can election, because
Speaker 1: they're angry about what was done to their kids during
Speaker 1: the pandemic and they want the chance to vote on
Speaker 1: this issue. Do you think that's going to happen or
Speaker 1: is that wishful thinking? No? Absolutely, I speak to so
Speaker 1: many parents around the country that are still fuming about it.
Speaker 1: Their kids lost at least a year of school in
Speaker 1: some places, it's really crazy that they, you know, people
Speaker 1: think that they just move on, that we just forget
Speaker 1: what happened. I personally can't forget, and my kids are
Speaker 1: in a much better place now. But it's the whole package.
Speaker 1: It's not just that schools closed, it's that we were
Speaker 1: gas lit every step of the way into believing that
Speaker 1: schools were somehow more unsafe than bars or you know,
Speaker 1: any number of things. So many dumb precautions were taken,
Speaker 1: and the story broke today that a lot of the
Speaker 1: COVID funds were used for programs like CRT. I mean,
Speaker 1: that is really what you know. The problem is here
Speaker 1: is that all of these things are leftists are using
Speaker 1: to push their agenda in our schools, and people like
Speaker 1: Governor de Santists are saying, no, we won't stand for it.
Speaker 1: We just need more people like him around the country
Speaker 1: to speak up. Daryl, always good to see you, Thanks
Speaker 1: for being with us. Thank you, Buck, thank you. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden announced today he'd be asking Congress for indgial thirty
Speaker 1: three billion dollars in Adukraine. That's on top of the
Speaker 1: billions we've already spent or sent them in arms since
Speaker 1: February So is all of this actually making a difference
Speaker 1: on the ground, and what's the long term planned here?
Speaker 1: Our friend Bill Roggio stops by to answer that. Stay
Speaker 1: with us. This morning, President Biden requested even more money
Speaker 1: from Congress to aid the Ukrainians fending off Russia's invasion.
Speaker 1: Biden requested an additional thirty three billion dollars, which he
Speaker 1: says will help to ensure military aid, hospitality, and food
Speaker 1: supply to Ukraine in their time of need. So how
Speaker 1: much money are we going to give Ukraine before Putin
Speaker 1: considers us to be actually joining them in some more
Speaker 1: meaningful way in this fight? According to Joe Biden, we're
Speaker 1: never going to stop actually watched, as long as the
Speaker 1: assaults and the trustees continue, We're going to continue to
Speaker 1: suppind military systems. It's critical this funding gets improved and
Speaker 1: improved as quickly as possible. So we're pumping billions of
Speaker 1: dollars into this conflict. Is it even making a difference
Speaker 1: the way that we had hoped? Joined me now to discuss,
Speaker 1: Senior felt the foundation for defensive Democracies, Bill Roggio, Bill,
Speaker 1: good to see it. Thanks about always a pleasure. So
Speaker 1: the Associated Press reports the Assistants package, which is now
Speaker 1: heading to Congress for consideration, would be more than twice
Speaker 1: as large as the initial thirteen point six billion dollars
Speaker 1: a defense and economic aid for Ukraine and lesser allies
Speaker 1: that Congress enacted last month is now almost already exhausted.
Speaker 1: Thirty three billion dollars a lot of money, just the
Speaker 1: right move. What's it going to get us? It is
Speaker 1: a lot of money. We had to keep in mind.
Speaker 1: We probably spent about, oh, I don't know, twenty thirty
Speaker 1: billion dollars a year on Afghan security courses and in
Speaker 1: the end we saw what that got us. People were
Speaker 1: very quick to leave Afghanistan, to abandon Afghanistan because of
Speaker 1: the costs that war drug out for twenty years, and
Speaker 1: we were now, we're very quick to get into a
Speaker 1: war that looks to be looks to be an extended conflict,
Speaker 1: and this is war that's going to require if the
Speaker 1: Ukrainians are going to fend off the Russians, and I'm
Speaker 1: not sure they're able to do that with the weapons
Speaker 1: and the money that they're getting, this is going to
Speaker 1: be This could take months, this could take years the
Speaker 1: way things are developing. And we also run the risk
Speaker 1: the longer this conflicts extended, the more weapons and more
Speaker 1: advanced weaponry we supply to the Ukrainians, the more the
Speaker 1: Russians can view US as an active in this war.
Speaker 1: And you know, I worry about the risk of coming
Speaker 1: into direct conflict with Russia. Not because Russia can beat
Speaker 1: us on the battlefield. I'm certain after what we witness
Speaker 1: in the Ukraine that they can. It's that Russia is
Speaker 1: a nuclear armed state with ten times more nuclear weapons
Speaker 1: than US, and when two superpowers go head to head,
Speaker 1: all bets are off, and those are the risks are
Speaker 1: This is what I fear is not really being discussed
Speaker 1: in Washington today. Now, explain how you think that will
Speaker 1: that could play out. I mean, at some point, and
Speaker 1: Putin has been saying very bellicost things. He's straight up
Speaker 1: said right that he will he will use nukes if
Speaker 1: somebody thinks they're going to get into Ukraine, meaning obviously
Speaker 1: user NATO, US and NATO get into Ukraine, He'll he'll
Speaker 1: go to the absolute matt on this. But short of
Speaker 1: a full scale military intervention, do you think there is
Speaker 1: a point at which Putin's calculation dramatically changes? I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, is it training, Is it just provision of
Speaker 1: even bigger, more advanced military systems to the Ukrainians. How
Speaker 1: do you think that is assessed. Yeah, it's very difficult
Speaker 1: to understand what Russia, what Putin's red lines are when
Speaker 1: it comes to this military aid. So here's a scenario
Speaker 1: to think of what happens if Putin decides to strike
Speaker 1: assembly points for weapons being transitioned into Ukraine better inside
Speaker 1: of Poland. Then you have an attack on a NATO
Speaker 1: member and we have a there's a possible escalation. These
Speaker 1: are the things that can happen. This is what I
Speaker 1: really worry about, not understanding, not knowing what provens rent minds.
Speaker 1: That's very dangerous and I don't hear and I'm not
Speaker 1: aware of any conversations happening inside of Washington, inside of
Speaker 1: policy makers circles. Everyone is keen to defeat the Russians.
Speaker 1: I would love for the Russians to lose, but there
Speaker 1: could be unintended consequences to that, and we should at
Speaker 1: least be discussing them and gaining them out so as
Speaker 1: not to get into an armed conflict with Russia over Ukraine.
Speaker 1: So is this making a difference in the way that
Speaker 1: we had we had hope, meaning the aid, the provision
Speaker 1: of weapons and assistance to Ukraine, because in the early
Speaker 1: days it felt like there was a lot of talk
Speaker 1: of how the Russians had been bloodied so badly that
Speaker 1: maybe this thing would come to a negotiated selement quickly.
Speaker 1: Now it looks like this is and by the way,
Speaker 1: I expected this, and I believe you did too, that
Speaker 1: this is going to drag out into a much longer
Speaker 1: conflict that the Russian military machine it's it's not nimble,
Speaker 1: but it's vast and it is it does have a
Speaker 1: lot of capability over a long period of time to
Speaker 1: grind down an enemy. So I mean, is this is
Speaker 1: this really the US goal now? To continue to arm
Speaker 1: what will effectively be a long standing war in Europe,
Speaker 1: to arm the Ukrainian side of it. I mean, how many,
Speaker 1: how many months? How many years you think we go
Speaker 1: on with this? Yeah, that's the real question. How long
Speaker 1: can we afford to go long along with this while
Speaker 1: the you know, the world is essentially on the precipice
Speaker 1: of a recession. We have rising prices all across the board.
Speaker 1: How long can a conflict like this extent? I think
Speaker 1: the answer is the weapons to your first question, the
Speaker 1: weapons the Ukraine have both have helped to drive back
Speaker 1: the Russians from Kim Right Russians. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the mistakes that were made by the Russians in
Speaker 1: and around Kiv are of the Russians making, and not
Speaker 1: necessarily of the weapons systems we sent. The weapon systems
Speaker 1: we're sending now it's not having the effect that we
Speaker 1: are hoping, which would be to blunt or halt a
Speaker 1: Russian advance. The Russians, as you had just said, they're grinding, slowly,
Speaker 1: taking over village after village, maybe advancing a mile two
Speaker 1: three a day along that eastern and southern front. It's
Speaker 1: a grind. This is something the Russians are geared to do.
Speaker 1: This is what I expected them to do around Kiev,
Speaker 1: and they just stopped. So I was a little surprised
Speaker 1: by that. But what's happening in the east is exactly
Speaker 1: what both you and I have expected to happen. And
Speaker 1: I'm not sure the weapons systems that we're providing is
Speaker 1: enough to stop that. They're going to need far more
Speaker 1: advanced weaponry, which they're going to need training on and
Speaker 1: a lot more of it. Than what we're seeing. The
Speaker 1: Russians have the advantage in logistics, they have the advantage
Speaker 1: of artillery, and there looks like they're getting the advantage
Speaker 1: in the numbers. The logistical problems you need graining that's
Speaker 1: a big that's a big issue. The length of their
Speaker 1: supply lines from the east from sorry, from the west
Speaker 1: to the east, that's a very difficult to overcome. So
Speaker 1: you know, are we by providing these weapons and not
Speaker 1: looking to help for some type of political settlement? Here
Speaker 1: are we extending in this war? Were leading to the
Speaker 1: eventual the further destruction of the Ukrainian economy and its infrastructure.
Speaker 1: I don't have the answers to these things, but I again,
Speaker 1: nobody seems to even be asking these quess Do we know?
Speaker 1: I mean, has has Putin to the degree that let's
Speaker 1: just say this could be known and we could take
Speaker 1: him at his word? Do we know what Putin's ask is?
Speaker 1: If you will to stop this war? Like, what would
Speaker 1: it take for? Because I saw that, you know, the
Speaker 1: territorial concessions even for don Boss and Lohansk and the
Speaker 1: area in the east of Ukraine. Zelenski said, well, that's
Speaker 1: off the table, Okay, well, but do we know what
Speaker 1: Putin would want in order to stop the war. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think both sides are light years apart. It's what
Speaker 1: would stop them. Putin certainly wants all of Leukonskin Dennis
Speaker 1: blah blahs, that's certainly for sure. And I believe he
Speaker 1: also wants to Hocupy. This has been stated by a
Speaker 1: Russian commander and this was very obvious from their operations.
Speaker 1: I believe that the Russians want full control of the
Speaker 1: Black Sea, including Odessa. And on the other side, Zelenski,
Speaker 1: which was willing to conceive these again in the darkest
Speaker 1: days at the beginning of this war, Zelenski was willing
Speaker 1: to concede, basically concede the don bust. They're not willing
Speaker 1: to do that anymore so when both sides, there's zero
Speaker 1: room for negotiations here. And I think the pouring in
Speaker 1: of Western weapons has buoyed up the Ukrainians, and that's great.
Speaker 1: The Ukrainians have a right to defend their country, a
Speaker 1: right to fight as long as they want. But I
Speaker 1: think what this is doing is is making the gap
Speaker 1: between a political settlement between the two sides further and further.
Speaker 1: It's just extending the fight. At some point the two
Speaker 1: sides are going to have to sit down and hash
Speaker 1: out what is that. What is the end of this war?
Speaker 1: And I don't see that end in sight. Bill. Appreciate
Speaker 1: your perspective as always, Thanks for being with us. Thanks Buck,
Speaker 1: always a pleasure. Great to see you all right. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden once again short circuits during his recent address on Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Like we say, it's not something that's enjoyable to watch,
Speaker 1: but you need to see it and understand what's going on.
Speaker 1: We'll have that and some other things for you in
Speaker 1: quickit stay with us. The President has a senior moment
Speaker 1: today for sure, and DHS Secretary More New York announces
Speaker 1: the US is getting its own Ministry of Truth. To
Speaker 1: Barro from More Worlds nineteen eighty four, we have those
Speaker 1: stories in quicks. Let's get into it. Look, I don't
Speaker 1: like to have to point out a person cognitive to
Speaker 1: blind due to aid. I've seen this in my own
Speaker 1: life and members of my own family. It's a sad thing,
Speaker 1: and it's something that it's just the nature of getting older.
Speaker 1: You reach a certain age, this is going to happen.
Speaker 1: But this guy is not running the local hardware store.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is the President of the United States. He
Speaker 1: has the nuclear codes, he has tremendous power. He can
Speaker 1: sign or not sign legislation that has enormous effect on
Speaker 1: the lives of the American people. You can declare war.
Speaker 1: We're in the midst of the world, facing off against
Speaker 1: a very aggressive Russia and the biggest war in Europe
Speaker 1: since World War Two, and Joe Biden's the commander in chief.
Speaker 1: I bring this all to you because here he is
Speaker 1: while talking about Russia's kleptocracy. Watch really close of that
Speaker 1: will enhance our underlying effort to accommodate the Russian oligarchs
Speaker 1: and make sure we take there. I will be gotten gage.
Speaker 1: We're gonna accommodate them. We're gonna seize their yachts, their
Speaker 1: luxury homes. Another they'll be gotten gags of Pruden's cleptocracy. Yeah, cleptocracy.
Speaker 1: The guys who are the cleptocracy. But these are bad guys. Yeah.
Speaker 1: As President United States, everybody Democrats thought this was a
Speaker 1: really great move, really responsible move for all of us. Yeah. Sure.
Speaker 1: D NHS Secretary mayorc Us has announced the formation of
Speaker 1: this is real a government misinformation and Disinformation Governance Board Watch.
Speaker 1: We have just established miss and Disinformation Governance SPORT in
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security to more effectively combat this
Speaker 1: threat not only to election security, but to our homeland security.
Speaker 1: Disinformation as a threat to our homeland security. Now, I
Speaker 1: know they're saying right now that it's really just in
Speaker 1: the context of Russian disinformation. I think also on migration issues.
Speaker 1: I think I saw something like that. But they're saying
Speaker 1: it's a very limited disinformation they're concerned with this. Does
Speaker 1: anyone think that it's going to stay there? This term
Speaker 1: disinformation is just really a word that is weaponized to
Speaker 1: silence those who do not agree with the consensus narrative.
Speaker 1: That is what disinformation actually means. That is what it
Speaker 1: is actually about. Okay, as a way as they use it,
Speaker 1: And the Russians actually have the term disinformatzia, which is
Speaker 1: their version of disinformation, obviously just with a little bit
Speaker 1: of Russian flair. They use it all the time. And
Speaker 1: guess what, America, if you look back at what happened
Speaker 1: with our own government, with the deep state, with the media,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of disinformation about oh, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump colluding with Russia stuff like that. Remember
Speaker 1: that that was a well, what would we call that,
Speaker 1: a huge concertive campaign to mislead the American people into something,
Speaker 1: to thinking something that has tremendous political consequence, that would
Speaker 1: assist one part of the ideological spectrum in this country
Speaker 1: at the expense of the other. That's disinformation, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Oh so maybe they're doing a disinformation bureau or whatever
Speaker 1: they're calling it, so that they can show us all
Speaker 1: their expertise in doing disinformation. I don't know, maybe that's
Speaker 1: what's going on. Biden. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says he
Speaker 1: is concerned about all the divisiveness and the culture wars
Speaker 1: out there. Watched this one, and we are concerned with
Speaker 1: some of the policies that are less curriculum, more about division,
Speaker 1: more about bringing politics into the schools. They said at
Speaker 1: the onset, our schools should not be the place for
Speaker 1: culture wars. Our parents want our children to recover from
Speaker 1: what was missed during the pandemic for the misconstruction. They
Speaker 1: want the mental health needs of their students cared for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the division and culture wars and the schools is the
Speaker 1: result of the Left turning these places into ideological and
Speaker 1: doctrine nation factories, public schools, very young kids too. And
Speaker 1: then the right because of what happened with zoom instruction
Speaker 1: at home, when the lunatic faucia, it's shut down schools
Speaker 1: for well a year basically. Then we actually had parents
Speaker 1: who saw what was being taught with their kids and
Speaker 1: they were upset about that, rightly so and so now, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's a culture war, but it was a one
Speaker 1: way war before. Now it's going both ways in the
Speaker 1: schools as it should, as it should, people should know
Speaker 1: what's going on. I don't know if the Libs are
Speaker 1: ever going to let this go. I think they're going
Speaker 1: to spend four years, some of them masking ostentatiously, so
Speaker 1: not to really defend themselves from a virus, but because
Speaker 1: the mask is a political symbol. And this is another
Speaker 1: example of how insane they are. Biden will not eat
Speaker 1: dinner with the White House Correspondence event because of COVID. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the headline. Biden to skip the eating portion of
Speaker 1: the code or a correspondence dinner to limit his COVID risk.
Speaker 1: But he's around people all the time elsewhere. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're so full of it, aren't. It's ridiculous. That's everything
Speaker 1: that's hold the line. The Nostpin News with Bill Riley
Speaker 1: is next Field's eye. Each morning, the President of the
Speaker 1: United States receives a highly classified briefing on the most
Speaker 1: important issues facing the country. It's called the President's Daily
Speaker 1: Brief or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well,
Speaker 1: now you can hear your very own PDB in the
Speaker 1: form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright,
Speaker 1: a former CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern,
Speaker 1: I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most
Speaker 1: important issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence
Speaker 1: and analysis you need to start your morning.
