He 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: is Jade Vance, recently elected senator from Ohio and Senator. 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,319 Speaker 1: First of all, thanks for making the time for us. 16 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: I want to start right here. I was just talking 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: about Joe Biden saying, and this is a direct quote 18 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: from him, anyway, not a major breach when directly asked 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: about the Chinese spy balloon that traversed the entire United States, 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Doesn't it seem like that's kind of a major breach 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: to you, and if it's not, what in the world 22 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: would Biden consider to be a major breach. Well, it 23 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: is a major breach. And I actually attended to classified 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: briefing yesterday, so I'll be a little bit careful about 25 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: what we learned and what we didn't learn or what 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: we still don't know. But I will say having sat 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: through that brief I came away with two thoughts. One 28 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: to confirmed my view that we should have shot this 29 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: thing down the moment it entered North American airspace, which 30 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: remember that it started out of Alaska. We were aware 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: of that. On January the twenty eighth, it went through 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: a major chunk of Canada, completely unoccupied, uninhabited territory, maybe 33 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: sparsely populated parts of Canada, where we could have easily 34 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: shot this thing down, and we should have. The second 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: thing is it was a major breach. In fact, we 36 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: don't fully know what the Chinese learned from it, but 37 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: we know that the balloon had intelligence gathering capabilities. We 38 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: know they learned a lot about some important American military installations, 39 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: and we know that we actually aren't fully aware of 40 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: exactly what they learned. And that's a big problem, right 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: You don't want a foreign balloon of America's biggest adversary 42 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: floating overhead for days without being fully aware of what 43 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 1: they were, what they're gathering. So it was a major 44 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: problem that should have been shot down. And I think 45 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is being really, really careless when he 46 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: tries to downplay this. He should level with the American people. 47 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: I would actually respect Biden more if he came out 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: and said, look, this was a mistake. We should have 49 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: shot it down earlier, and it's a big problem, and 50 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: it suggests a major escalation from the Chinese. You just 51 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: got elected from Ohio and you wrote a fabulous book, 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: Hillbilly Elegy. I bet you saw James Carville go on 53 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: MSNBC and call Marjorie Taylor green trash. You guys are 54 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: around this. We're around the same age you and me. 55 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm from Tennessee. You grew up in Kentucky and Ohio 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: in that area. You know that that is among the 57 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: most pejorative terms out there that you can toss on someone. 58 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: He also said she dressed like white trash. When you 59 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: look at Democrats basically becoming the party of the woke, 60 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: white college educated, I'm curious how you would respond to 61 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: that because Carville helped to get Bill Clinton elected in 62 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: ninety two and ninety six. He's a Louisiana guy. I'm 63 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: stunned that he would go on, you can have lots 64 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: of issues with people a variety of backgrounds, but to 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: call her white trash, it just felt like such a 66 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: window into what Democrats have become, and even that Carville 67 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: himself has become that. Yeah. I mean, I have a 68 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: few thoughts about this play, and I could probably talk 69 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: about this for longer than you have time. But first 70 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: of all, James Carville calling somebody white trash, I mean, 71 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: isn't that the ultimate potfole kettle black moment? The second 72 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: the second reaction to have to you know, Marjorie, as 73 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: you may know, is a good friend of mine. I 74 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: think she's I think she doesn't get credit from the 75 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: media for actually being much more thoughtful than they realize 76 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: and a much a bigger leader I think in our 77 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: movement than people realize in the future. But but look, 78 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: this is why Democrats lose working class white people, that's 79 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: my entire family, because they speak about us with such 80 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: incredible disrespect and derision. And by the way, Clay there 81 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: is no group in America that you can get away 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: talking about like that like that without losing your job 83 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: or losing your livelihood. The double standard. People are aware 84 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: of it, and it's why all of this talk about 85 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: white privilege and all these other things is completely bogus 86 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: because people know that if you are a middle class, 87 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: working class white person, the media can talk about you 88 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: like a sewer rat and they'll get away with it. 89 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: And that's a big double standard. How And you see 90 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: it in particular because Ohio is a perfect window into that, right, 91 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: Ohio used to be a toss up state, and because 92 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: Democrats have become so derisive in the way that they 93 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: talk about so many people in the state, people who 94 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: have to work for a living, blue collar I don't 95 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: even know how they can get back that group, right, 96 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I know what, Maybe it shouldn't have been 97 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: staggering to me, but to go on MSNBC and say 98 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: it so explicitly, it was just crazy to me. Yeah. No, 99 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: it's a big part of the reason why why they're 100 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: suffering politically. Look, people want to have basic respect from 101 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: their political leaders. This is America, after all. We are 102 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: not ruled by kings, were ruled by nobody. We're led 103 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: and governed by our fellow citizens, and if you don't 104 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: have respect for people, how can you possibly expect to 105 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: earn their vote. It's interesting to compare what Carvil said 106 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: to Biden's State of the Union address, where look, there 107 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: were all of these problems with it. He was doing 108 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: a victory lap on an economy that's a disaster. He 109 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: didn't even mention the Chinese by balloon. He didn't sound grating. 110 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: Look great, we can go through all the problems. But 111 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: the one thing that I think Republicans we've got to 112 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: be careful about with Biden is that while a lot 113 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: of people don't like US policies, they don't hate him 114 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: at a personal level. And he talked about forgotten towns, 115 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: and he talked about bad trade deals and the loss 116 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: of manufacturing, the loss of dignity that comes along when 117 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: you lose a job. I thought that was actually pretty 118 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: effective politically. But the problem with Biden and the Democrats 119 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: is they are completely led and surrounded by people like 120 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: James Carville who really hate a big chunk of the 121 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: population in Middle America. And you can't run from that, 122 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: and you can't pretend it isn't there when you're a Democrat, 123 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: you're talking about twenty twenty four as we look forward. 124 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: I believe you have endorsed Donald Trump for twenty twenty 125 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: four in your mind, is it pretty much a foregone 126 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: conclusion that Biden is going to be the guy for Democrats? 127 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: And if so, what does that tell us about the 128 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: Democrat Party? You know, I don't know. Play it's crazy 129 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: to me that it's anything close to a four gone collusion, 130 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: because he clearly is not the same I bet Joe 131 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: Biden once in twenty sixteen, reasonably briefly. He's just a 132 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: fundamentally different person than that seven years later, So it's 133 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: shocking to me that he could lead the country potentially 134 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: for another six years. But he sounded like a man 135 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: during the State of the Union who was going to 136 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: run again. So I do think he's the likely Democratic nominee, 137 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: and you know, I think Trump is the likely nominee. 138 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: I think he's certainly the front runner. Obviously I've endorsed him, 139 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: But I think we're going to have a tough primary 140 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: on the Republican side, at least I expect that we will. 141 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: When you look forward and think about what's going to happen. 142 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: You saw the State of the Union from Joe Biden, 143 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: and I bet you even picked up on the fact 144 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: that he sounded a little bit like Donald Trump. I mean, 145 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: he didn't sound anything like the Joe Biden who has 146 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: governed the first two years. What happens for the next 147 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: two years you're now in the Senate. What can get done, 148 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: what should get done in the remainder of the Biden regime. Well, look, 149 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: I think that Joe Biden realizes politically that the border 150 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: as a disaster, and this is one area where, you know, 151 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: I think it's the most important crisis that we face 152 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: as a country. And if Biden is willing to meet 153 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: us halfway or anyway, it's where we should be most 154 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: willing to cut a deal for the American people. If 155 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: we can stop or at least reduce the flow of 156 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: illegal migrants, of illegal drugs, of criminal activity across the border, 157 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: we should do it. I think it would be good 158 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: for Biden politically, but I don't care about that. I 159 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: just want to stop the border crisis, and I think 160 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: that's the most important thing that we can do. I 161 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: think there's maybe some room to work on what we're 162 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: doing with China on beefing up our industrial capacity. You know, 163 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: we need to be manufacturing weapons that we could use, 164 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: God forbid if we get into a conflict with China 165 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: two years on the road, five years down the road. 166 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: Right now, our country is not capable of producing the 167 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: weapons systems we would need for any potential future conflict. Again, 168 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: you hope that it doesn't happen, but the best way 169 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: to prevent it from happening is to make sure you're 170 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: ready for it. I think it'll potentially ways to work 171 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: with Joe Biden on that, but look, by and large, 172 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats are already running for reelection in the Senate. 173 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: We're not working all that hard because the Senate Democrats 174 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: have us in a lot of recess because they're trying 175 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: to defend their political territory. They're not thinking about governing. 176 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: So I don't think a whole lot is going to 177 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: get done. We can prevent the bad, maybe get some 178 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: things accomplished on the border in China, but that's the 179 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: posture for the next couple of years. I know you've 180 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: probably not had much time or experience with him, but 181 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: John Fetterman was elected at the same time that you were. 182 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: He's been in the hospital now for two nights. He's 183 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: in there for a third day. What is your experiment's 184 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: experiment experience been like with John Fetterman, and what do 185 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: you think about his potential health prognosis so far as 186 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: you can tell? You know, I mean, first I wish 187 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: the guy the very best. You know, he's got some 188 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: serious health problems. It's been very clear in communicating with 189 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: him the little that I have that he has some 190 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: serious hangovers from a stroke. But but on the one hand, look, 191 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: we can pray for his recovery, and I certainly have 192 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: and will continue to do so. And all the other hand, 193 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: acknowledge the unbelievable dishonesty of the media where when people 194 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: raised his health as a potential problem for him serving, 195 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: the media shot it down, did not investigate it, did 196 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: not really ask the questions that should be asked of 197 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: anybody after a serious health consequence or emergency, whether they're 198 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: Republicans or Democrats. So I think the fact that John 199 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: continues to struggle is sad. I also think it's an 200 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: incredible indictment of the media. They should have been on 201 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: top of this from the very beginning. The people of 202 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania should be made aware of those problems that a 203 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: lot of them worked because the media didn't do their job, 204 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: no doubt. All right, easy question for you to close 205 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: out here. I imagine you'll be watching the Super Bowl. 206 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: I imagine you're also still ruling the fact that the 207 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals lost in the way that they did to 208 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. What happens? Who wins? Why? Well, 209 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: look play. I think that as the Kansas City Chiefs 210 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: are playing not just the Eagles, but with the referees 211 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: on their side like they did against the Cincinnati Bengals, 212 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna win a massive Super Bowl victory. I don't know, 213 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, the Eagles can't beat both the Chiefs and 214 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: the refs. I have poked some of my colleagues who 215 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: are from the Kansas City area about this, but I 216 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: will never get over the officiating of that AFC Championship game. 217 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: And I gotta be honest, I don't really care who wins, 218 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: but I'll certainly be watching like everybody else. By the way, 219 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: as a Baggels fan, what did you think of the 220 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 1: Cincinnati mayor's proclamation? We played that I think on Monday 221 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: of maybe a couple weeks ago. It's one of the 222 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 1: craziest proclamations I've ever seen. For people who don't remember, 223 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: the Democrat mayor of Cincinnati basically gave the most trash 224 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: talking thing that I've ever seen any politician put out there. 225 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: I would think people at Cincinnati are still kind of 226 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: fired up about that, because clearly the Kansas City Chiefs 227 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: players took note because Travis Kelsey was ripping the mayor, 228 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: which I've also never seen after a glan Well, you know, 229 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: obviously he's a Democrat. I'm a Republican, but I admire 230 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: the fire in the belly because look, a lot of 231 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: us were pissed off about this. I am not Clay. 232 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: I have never, i think, in my life as a 233 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: sports fan, complained about the officiating as much as I 234 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: have the last couple of weeks. I've just never seen 235 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: anything like it. Yeah, I know it's a mess. There's 236 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: no doubt at all that it was a mess. Well, 237 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: we'll talk to you again soon.

So 264 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: I saw this story and I thought to myself, is 265 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: this real? This is this is funny. So Joe Biden 266 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: has refused an interview with Fox in advance of the 267 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And this is not necessarily uncommon at all. 268 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: The network that carries the Super Bowl, and right now 269 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: it's CBS, NBC or Fox. They rotate every three years. 270 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: Starting in a couple of years they will add ABC 271 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: to the rotation, so there will be the super Bowl 272 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: will be on either ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox free 273 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: over the air broadcast networks every four years. And Joe 274 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: Biden is refusing to sit for an interview with Fox. Now, look, 275 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's not capable, as you just heard anyway, not 276 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: a major breach as he said when he set for 277 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: an interview trying to explain the Chinese spy balloon. But 278 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: Joe Concha does really good work at Fox News. He's 279 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: been on the show as well, and not doing a 280 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: sit down interview for the Super Bowl. And I believe 281 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: Brett Baer, who is a straight down the middle in 282 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: my opinion jurnalist who works at Fox News, would have 283 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: conducted that interview. But Joe Conscience says, and I agree 284 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: with him that it's gutless. Let's play cut two. For 285 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden not to do the super Bowl interview, by 286 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: the way, that would be a huge audience for him. 287 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: This is a tradition that goes back to two thousand 288 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: and four. So George W. Bush sat down with every network, 289 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: and even Barack Obama sat down with every network concluding 290 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: this one. And Donald Trump did the interviews. But for 291 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: him not to do this, he is the most protected 292 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: president and the most handled president and the least accessible 293 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: president that we have ever seen of the TV era. 294 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: And for him not to do this right now, gutless 295 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: is the right word. You know. It's interesting it is 296 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: gutless now. I probably because they're starting to get a 297 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: lot of criticism. Karine Jehan Pierre put out a statement 298 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: and said the President was looking forward to an interview 299 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: with Fox Soul to discuss the Super Bowl, the state 300 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: of the Union, and critical issues impacting the everyday law 301 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: of black Americans. We've been informed Fox Corp. Has asked 302 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: for the interview to be canceled. I've never heard of 303 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: Foxhoul and I'm not taking a shot at anybody who 304 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: works there, but I have heard of Fox News. You 305 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: might have as well. It's the most watch network on cable. 306 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: No one else has ever demanded that they be interviewed 307 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: by a niche segment of an overall network, and so 308 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: this is this is pretty crazy. What it really represents 309 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: is what I think you're going to have to get 310 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: used to as Joe Biden prepares for the twenty twenty 311 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: four election, they are going to aggressively restrict his sit 312 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: down interviews with virtually anyone, and the people that they 313 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: do allow to conduct sit down interviews with him are 314 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: mostly going to be members of the propaganda left wing 315 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: media outlets. So the fact that Brett Bayer, who I 316 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: think does a really good job on his show, was 317 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: not allowed to interview Joe Biden, where as you heard 318 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: Joe conscious say it has become a tradition. There are 319 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: tens of millions of people watching. I had the numbers. 320 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: I think it was twenty seven million people watched Joe 321 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: Biden State of the Union on Tuesday over a hundred 322 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: million are going to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday. 323 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: So if you are the president of the United States 324 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: and you want to reach out to the biggest possible 325 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: audience to speak with, why in the world would you 326 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: turn down Fox News? To me, this is a no 327 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: brainer if you truly want your message to get out there. 328 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: The tradition and the trend is that you do these 329 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: interviews and so not doing the interview and then demanding 330 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: that you be interviewed by a group that no one's 331 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: ever heard of before. Frankly, it's just part and parcel 332 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: of Joe. I believe cowardice. Like everything else. The cost 333 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: of ammunition has gone up in the past year, making 334 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,959 Speaker 1: every trip to the gun range more expensive. That's why 335 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: I want to tell you about a cost effective alternative 336 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: to keep your skills sharp.

That's m antisx dot com. 351 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: Flee Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of 352 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back in. We have evidently in the last few 353 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: minutes reports have emerged, and we'll maybe have some audio 354 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: for you at the end of the program, that we 355 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: have shot down another object somewhere over Alaska, potentially another 356 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: Chinese spy balloon. Details are still emerging as as we 357 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: are in the process again. New York Times Pentagon shoots 358 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: down an unidentified object over Alaska, possibly a second balloon 359 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: that broke nine minutes ago. So we will see what happens. 360 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: Now what I would say, and here's a little bit 361 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: more breaking news on that. The White House says the 362 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: US military shot down an object flying at forty thousand 363 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: feet in US territorial waters over or Alaska in the 364 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: last hour, so we again, maybe more details coming out. 365 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: At a minimum, it sounds like Joe Biden has finally 366 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,719 Speaker 1: decided that maybe it is in fact a major breach 367 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: to allow foreign aircraft to come into the United States 368 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: and fly across the entire country. And obviously this is 369 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: also a major moment here of disrespect in the fact 370 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: that China, having just sent a balloon across, is now 371 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: potentially going to be trying to do it again. This 372 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: is supposedly much smaller than the Chinese spy balloon, about 373 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: the size of a small car, So maybe what's going 374 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: on is China is trying different objects to penetrate American 375 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: airspace to see how we respond. But that news is 376 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: out there and has broken in the last ten minutes. 377 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: So if we get any further information about that between 378 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: now when we close out the program, we certainly will 379 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: discuss it in further detail. But remember the Chinese spy 380 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: balloon initially entered in Alaska, and reports are that this 381 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: object has been shot down off the coast of Alaska. 382 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: So maybe we have finally decided that Chinese foreign aircraft 383 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: is not allowed to traverse American skies. But we will 384 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: see what exactly the report is as these details come out. 385 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: Certainly I would imagine Sean Hannity will be talking about 386 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: it and we will discuss it for sure on Monday, 387 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: by which time all of this information will be out there. 388 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: Remember it's about a week ago that news broke. I 389 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: think almost exactly a week ago on the Friday edition 390 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: of the program that we discussed that Chinese spy balloon. 391 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: A couple of stories out there that I also want 392 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: to hit. There is a story I don't know how 393 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: many of you saw it in the New York Times 394 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: ripping this program alongside of Russia Limbaugh as one of 395 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: the foremost purveyors of misinformation on the audio waves in 396 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: the country. I believe the New York Times ranked US 397 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: as number three in the nation for purveying misinformation. According 398 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: to producer Ali, who sent this information to us yesterday, 399 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: is based on a study by the Brookings Institute. I 400 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: want to put this out there for everyone who might 401 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: be willing to share this with the Brookings Institute. I 402 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: will extend an open invitation to the Brookings Institute scholars 403 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: who have been analyzing the audio of this program and 404 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: claim that we are among the foremost purveyors of misinformation 405 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,679 Speaker 1: in the country. I will extend an open invite to 406 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: anyone from the Brookings Institute that would like to come 407 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: on this program next week and exploiting what misinformation we 408 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: have been sharing with all of you are esteemed audience, 409 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: and make the case that we are among the foremost 410 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: purveyors of misinformation in the country, which is what their 411 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: allegation is. I would like to hear the specific instances 412 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: of misinformation that they allege we have been sharing with 413 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: all of you. I will give the Brookings Institute scholars 414 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: the opportunity to come on this program and make the 415 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: case to all of you that we are regularly spreading 416 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: falsehoods to you. I would like to hear what their 417 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: metrics are. I would like to hear their evidence. Open 418 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: forum invite. We don't run and hide on this program 419 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 1: if you're going to attack us in the pages of 420 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: the New York Times and argue that we are misinformation authorities, 421 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: the third worst in the high and the entire country, 422 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: both this show by name and Russia Limbaugh by Show 423 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: by name attacking not only this show presently, but also 424 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: the legacy of Russia Limbaugh. I want them to come 425 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: on with the specifics and tell this show what we, 426 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: in their mind have shared with all of you that 427 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: is misinformation, so you can judge for yourself. I bet 428 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,719 Speaker 1: that we will not get a response, but consider this 429 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: to be a public invite to the Brookings Institute, because 430 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: here's what's going on with this. In my opinion, this 431 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 1: is the way they go after our advertising and our distribution. 432 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: Right they say, oh, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, you 433 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: can't be allowed to listen to them. Google, you have 434 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: to restrict any of their links, you have to restrict 435 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: their YouTube videos, Apple iTunes. How in the world would 436 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: you let tens of millions of people download this program 437 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: when it is a top purveyor of misinformation in the 438 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: entire country. Of course, misinformation is so broadly defined. Buck 439 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: and I both endeavor every single day you listen to 440 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: this program. You know, if we get a act wrong, 441 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: we come on and try to immediately correct it. I 442 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: do not believe for anybody that does three hours of 443 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: life programming that there are very many shows out there 444 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: in the country that have fewer factual errors on a 445 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: day to day basis than we do, but we get 446 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: things wrong, and when we're aware of them, we come on. 447 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: We try to tell you immediately, but you'll note what 448 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: happens is we have expanded the universe of what facts 449 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: are and what misinformation is, so that if we share 450 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: facts with you and then it leads to an opinion, oh, well, 451 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: that's not permissible because that's misinformation. And then you know 452 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: what often happens is what we tell you were months 453 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: ahead of and then everybody else starts to catch up 454 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: and they say, well, they never correct the fact that 455 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: what we did was misinformation. And I'll give you an 456 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: example of that that is out there right now. Study 457 00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: just came down. Turns out people are dying of heart 458 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: attacks way more than they did before COVID story. Even 459 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: the Today Show did headline since COVID, more young people 460 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: are dying of heart attacks. Oh what that sounds like 461 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: something you might hear here. Media's catching up. The age 462 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: group hit the hardest. Reading from the article, people between 463 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: twenty five and forty four, who have seen a twenty 464 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: nine point nine percent relative increase in heart attack deaths 465 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: over the first two years of the pandemic, so thirty 466 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: percent higher than would have been expected. You've probably noticed 467 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: this in your own lives. It's a lot of people young, 468 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: otherwise healthy twenty five forty four suddenly dropping dead. Heart 469 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: attacks are also up in people between the ages of 470 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: forty five and sixty four, nearly by twenty percent, and 471 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: heart attacks are even up in those over sixty five, 472 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: who have seen nearly a fourteen percent relative increase in 473 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: the amount of heart attacks. Now, in this entire article, 474 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: you know what they don't mention as a potential cause 475 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: of these increases in heart attacks, COVID shot. Entire article 476 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: says this is what happens when people get COVID. Now, 477 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: maybe that's true. Maybe there are going to be more 478 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: heart attacks in people who got COVID. I've had it twice. 479 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: I hope it's not true. But don't you think that 480 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: maybe it would be worthwhile to mention the COVID shot, 481 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: something that was mandated by the government, as potentially being 482 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: involved in why heart attack deaths are up nearly thirty 483 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: percent twenty nine point nine percent in people aged twenty 484 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: five to forty four. I think that's a fair question 485 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: to ask, particularly because the data overall shows that almost 486 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: everyone under the age of forty five who gets COVID 487 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: has almost no impact from it. Yet we made all 488 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: those people, many of them get the COVID shot, in 489 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: order to be able to go to school, or to 490 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: be able to work, or to go to military. Is 491 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: this misinformation? Is the Brookings Institute upset that I would 492 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: share this factual information with you and then say, hey, 493 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: let's discuss what might be causing that, because that, to 494 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 1: me seems like what the job should be. Hey, here's 495 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: a pace of factual data. Now let's discuss why this 496 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,959 Speaker 1: piece of factual data exists. That, to me is the 497 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: very essence of our job. Is that misinformation that I said, Hey, 498 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: could the COVID shot maybe be involved in a massive 499 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: increase in relative heart attack deaths in young people? Doesn't 500 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: seem outlandish to me. In fact, that's the entire higher 501 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,239 Speaker 1: basis of science. Something happens, and then we try to 502 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: figure out why it happened, and people toss out all 503 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: sorts of hypotheses. It could be that heart attack deaths 504 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: are up thirty percent because of the Chinese spy balloon. 505 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: I think it's unlikely, but it could be a hypothesis. 506 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: And obviously I'm being hyperbolic and being ridiculous. So the 507 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: Brooking Institute understands right there are legitimate and illegitimate potential 508 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: causes of everything. Discussing them when it's unclear why they 509 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: might have occurred is the very essence of what an 510 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: informed public should do, because I would think, call me 511 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: crazy if we are giving COVID shots two people that 512 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: don't need them, and in fact, instead of protecting them, 513 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: the COVID shot for young people is adding any degree 514 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: of danger at all to our overall lives and the 515 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: lives of our kids and our grandkids. I think that's 516 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: kind of important, and I think those are very significant 517 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: questions to be asking. I think what you'll see Brookings 518 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: Institute is that this show has been way ahead of 519 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: most of the dgra ramises in the media in explaining 520 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: and discussing data that is significant in all of your lives. 521 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: And we've been proven correct an awful lot of the time. 522 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: But I just wanted to put that out there. The 523 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: Brookings Institute is welcome to send their most esteemed misinformation 524 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: expert to come on this program and tell all of 525 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: you who are listening right now that we, fucking myself 526 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 1: are a couple of imbeciles. Who are making the world 527 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: a worst place by spreading misinformation every single day. I'd 528 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: like to know what they consider misinformation to be on 529 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: this program we come back, I'll give you a pick 530 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: on the Super Bowl and ride off into the weekend 531 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: with all of you.

We've got a cut for you, 536 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: will play at for you when we come back. Appreciate 537 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: all of you.

They've been helping Americans ever since one 540 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 1: of our darkest days of nine to eleven, when a 541 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: first responder, a military service member doesn't come home and 542 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 1: young kids are left behind. Tunnel of the Towers pays 543 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: the mortgage on the family home to lift the financial 544 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: burden and bring stability for severely injured veterans and first responders. 545 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: Tunneled to Towers builds mortgage free smart homes, giving severely 546 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: injured heroes the ability to live more independent lives.

I believe KNC Chiefs 567 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: are gonna win twenty four twenty. I think this is 568 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: going to be a game that Patrick Mahomes takes over. 569 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: I like Travis Kelsey for the first touchdown. I like 570 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: the under in this game. You can grab this clip, 571 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: will play it on Monday if I'm totally wrong, and 572 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: I will own it. But I think Patrick Mahomes wins 573 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 1: super Bowl number two, and the good people of Kansas 574 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: City win a second Super Bowl, and the Philadelphia Eagles 575 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts will emerge as the losers in this 576 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: particular game, des by the fact that obviously they've had 577 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: a fantastic season as well.

Our crew 585 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: will get them there, all right, I want to make 586 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: sure that we give you the absolute latest, as I 587 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: told you we would do as we went to break. 588 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: We've got a couple of different cuts. Let's play the 589 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: first one from on Kirby, I'll react, and then we'll 590 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: play the second one. We have shot down an object 591 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: off the coast of Alaska. Listen, so I can confirm 592 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 1: that the Department of Defense was tracking a high altitude 593 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 1: object over Alaska airspace in the last twenty four hours 594 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 1: out The object was flying at an altitude of forty 595 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: thousand feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety 596 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 1: of civilian flight. Out of an abundance of caution and 597 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 1: at the recommendation of the Pentagon, President Biden ordered the 598 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: military to down the object. And they did, and it 599 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: came to an inside our territorial waters. Those waters right 600 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: now are frozen, but inside territorial airspace and over territorial waters. 601 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: Fighter aircraft assigned to US Northern Command took down the 602 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: object within the last hour. Okay, that just happened. That's 603 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: John Kirby's spokesperson for the Pentagon. Let's also hear the 604 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: second clip here for a little bit more detail. The 605 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: Chinese aircraft. No, it was It was much much smaller 606 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: than the spy balloon that we took down last Saturday. 607 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: The way it was described to me was roughly the 608 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: size of a small car, as opposed to a payload 609 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 1: that was like two or three buses size right, So 610 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: much much smaller and no significant payload, if you will, Okay, 611 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 1: this is a big deal because it further accelerates China's 612 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: clear attempt to probe our territorial defenses. Because again, we'll 613 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: find out more details about this, but it begs the 614 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: question of whether the first Chinese spy balloon larger, more significant, 615 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: and turned into a major international incident, and if now 616 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: China has sent a new smaller surveillance craft of some 617 00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: sort to try to enter American airspace again. It's not 618 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: only incredibly insulting and disrespectful, I would argue, now it's 619 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: becoming an accelerant in what is effectively a cold war 620 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: with China. More details on this will emerge throughout the 621 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: course of the weekend. We certainly will be talking about 622 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 1: it on Monday. While I appreciate the Biden administration shooting 623 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: down this object, it also begs the question if you 624 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: really did the right thing the last time Why did 625 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 1: you let the spy balloon in to go across the 626 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: entire country and decide that you had to shoot down 627 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: this one. That would suggest that the Biden administration is 628 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: now admitting we aired in allowing that spy balloon to 629 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: cross the country. It's also suggestive that China basically decided, potentially, hey, 630 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: we can put whatever we want an American airspace and 631 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: they'll do nothing more. Monday
