So we're 18 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: hoping to get that done next fall.

I think you'll have an awesome time 22 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: there and count me in. It's gonna be fantastic. So 23 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: in every SEC football game I go to when I'm there, 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: of course that is my favorite SEC team. That's the 25 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: way this works. So I'm excited, just like a purely 26 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: free agent. Yeah. So here we are now in the 27 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: midst of two things going on. In the background of 28 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: all all the stuff with Ukraine, the ward everything, we'll 29 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: take a pause on that for a second, you have 30 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: the final stage of COVID restriction and regulation and all 31 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: that almost gone everywhere, although not everywhere. So let's remember 32 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: that there's still some random, arbitrary and capricious COVID restriction. 33 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: And anyone who says, oh, buck, this is not my problem, really, 34 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: go fly on a plane. Go fly on a plane, 35 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: and you'll still have people walking. You'll still have them 36 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: on the loudspeakers. Mask up between bites. You're like, what, 37 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: there is no such thing as a mask that is 38 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: effective when you mask up between bites. But we'll get 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: into that at a moment. First of all, I want 40 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: to talk about the controversy surrounding the quote. They're calling 41 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: it the don't Say Gay bill. Now, that is the 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: terminology of lg LGBTQ plus activists to attack the bill 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: and to attack specifically the Ronda Santis component, or rather 44 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: Ron de Santis as the governor of Texas and whether 45 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: he will sign this or not. It's actually called a 46 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: lot of people be hearing this the first the parental 47 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: Rights and Education Bill, and what's happened is LGBTQ activists 48 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: have dubbed it that don't say gay bill. Here's what 49 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: it actually does. You cannot teach in the state of 50 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: Florida under this bill lessons about sexuality, sex, sexual orientation, 51 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: and gender identity to pre K to third graders. That's 52 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: what's actually now. Now I would go beyond just that's 53 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: entirely reasonable too. Why the heck would someone be outraged 54 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: at the notion that you shouldn't be teaching the school. 55 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: Parents can teach their kids about these things as they 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: see fit as parents, right, that's part of the parental 57 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: rights in education. Parents should have that conversation with kids. Clay, 58 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Why would someone want to, as a matter of state policy, 59 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: instruct five year olds in sex, sexuality and gender identity. 60 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: You're a parent, I'm not. What do you think about this? 61 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: And to me, it strikes me is what the heck 62 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: is wrong with these people. It seems very reasonable not 63 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: to be having those conversations with kindergarteners and first graders 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: and say pre k and second graders and third graders 65 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: to me as a parent in school. But if you disagree, 66 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: the great thing about being a parent is you are 67 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: not limited to what your kids learn in school. You 68 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: can sit down and have conversations with them about any 69 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: number of subjects that you feel are important to me. 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: And I've raised three boys, or working on raising three boys. 71 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: My kids are fourteen, eleven, and seven. There are conversations 72 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: this is not going to shock anybody that I can 73 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: have with a fourteen year old and that I need 74 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: to have with a fourteen year old that are totally 75 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: different than conversations that I can have with a seven 76 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: year old. And this is crazy. I mean trying to 77 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: think how to phrase this without getting the case. There's 78 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: young kids out there in the car. Santa Claus for kindergartener's, 79 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: first grader, second graders, and third graders is a big deal. 80 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: That's a normal conversation that you have. You're excited for 81 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: Santa Claus to come to town. That conversation for a 82 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: ninth to tenth and eleventh grader is totally different. Right, 83 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: Take it outside of the realm of something that's culturally charged, 84 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: and just talk about how you discuss Santa Claus with 85 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: young kids compared to what you would say with teenagers. 86 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: This doesn't seem like a crazy idea at all, and 87 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: I think it's evidence. This is what I think is 88 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: going on. I think that Democrats are so utterly aware 89 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: that they're going to get destroyed in twenty twenty two 90 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: that they are desperate to find something to attack Ron 91 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: de Santis with in Florida as the governor's race comes 92 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: up there, And so they are manufacturing issues because they 93 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: totally failed on the biggest issue, which is COVID. And 94 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: this is why I think ultimately maybe the Supreme Court 95 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: is going to give Democrats a little bit of a 96 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: gift here as it pertains to the timing of the Rov. 97 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: Wade case that they're hearing with Mississippi and Texas, because 98 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: if they make a big decision there, and by the way, 99 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be a big decision. 100 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna uphold Mississippi and strike down in 101 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: some way what Texas is doing. That's my prediction. But 102 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: Democrats are desperate to find something buck to hang their 103 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: hat on other than COVID, other than the border, other 104 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: than the murder rate, other than Ukraine, and other than 105 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: what's going on with Afghanistan. And so they're gonna go 106 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: all in on issues like these and claim, oh, Republicans 107 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: are awful reprobates for not wanting to talk about gay 108 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: issue US with kindergarteners. That's the line they're gonna try 109 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: to play, and they're gonna argue at saying something that 110 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: it isn't. This is the only time you've seen recently 111 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: some kind of pushback to parental rights. Parental involvement in 112 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: education has been a huge winner for Republicans now stretching 113 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: back for over a year. We saw this because of 114 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: what parents saw during COVID, critical race theory training, the 115 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: shutdown of schools, the masking of kids, all of this. 116 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: It has been the GOP that says, hold on a second, 117 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: parents should get more of a say here. Parents should 118 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: be able to speak out of the school board meetings 119 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: than you had the Biden administration putting out that weird 120 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: memo about dj under Biden that this is essentially like 121 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: domestic terrorists for these parents to show up and there's 122 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: FBI agents looking into this, which was completely outrageous and 123 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: should be remembered going forward, as we see a lot 124 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: of the tactics used to silence descent in places like Canada, 125 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: they'll do it here too. But Clay here is Rhonda Santis, 126 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: who is not gonna He's just not gonna. You know, 127 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: he's not gonna take it. He's not gonna take it 128 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: anymore whatever, you know what I mean, He's not going 129 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: to take it. On the lies here about what they 130 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: don't say gay bill is consvercial. It's not called that. 131 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: It's the Parental Rights and Education Bill. So I'm sorry 132 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: to use it, but just to see that propaganda line 133 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: is called on. People are going on marches now just 134 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: shouting gay, gay gay. There's video of this out there. 135 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: Rohda Santis is like, stop lying about this crigal rights 136 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: and education. Well, critics called, we don't say gay bill 137 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: is on the Senate. Does it say that in the bill? 138 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: Does it say that in the bill? I'm asking I'm 139 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: asking you to tell me what's in the bill, because 140 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: you are pushing false narratives. It doesn't matter what critics 141 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: say it advanced flash construction on sexual identity and gender 142 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: orientizations four who or for grades pre K through three, 143 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: five year old, six year old seven year olds, and 144 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: the idea that you wouldn't be honest about that and 145 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: tell people what it actually says. It's why people don't 146 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: trust people like you, because you peddle false narratives. And 147 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: so we just subbused you there, and we're gonna make 148 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: sure that parents are able to send their kid to 149 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into their 150 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: school curriculum. So Clay, I mean, you know, first of all, 151 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: Ronda Santists is great when it comes to dealing with 152 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: the media and their fake narratives. But I mean, I 153 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: have good thinking. I'm not a parent, but I remember 154 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: I think I was. I think it was the third 155 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: it might have been the fourth grade. I remember the 156 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: first time I had, you know, the birds and the 157 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: bees talk. And it didn't come from my parents initially. 158 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,119 Speaker 1: It came from an old a student a year ahead 159 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: of me, who just randomly we're out going on the 160 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: sports field, either we're playing like you know, kickball or 161 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: soccer or something. He grabs me and he goes do 162 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: you know where babies come from? And I said no, 163 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: and he goes, it's when you poke a lady or 164 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: belly button, then a baby comes out. Now technically not 165 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: really true. But then I went and I had a 166 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: talk with my mom and my dad and I and 167 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: they kind of explained where babies came from. It turns 168 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: out not from just the belly button, but the point 169 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: being that's, you know, parents should be involved in that 170 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: kind I always remember that. I was like terrified, quiz 171 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna fail anyway, but I know I want to 172 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: talk to my parents about this. But I feel like 173 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: for so many people that's you know, there are sensitive, 174 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: sensitive issues things that come up, and that's where parental 175 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: rights come in. No one's saying you can't teach about 176 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: you know, safe they did. I remember this. They did 177 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: this in my high school safe sex practices and all 178 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I think we're a freshman high school, 179 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: sixth grade. When I was in grammar school, we had 180 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: some health class where they got into some of this stuff. 181 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: It's just about the age five, six and seven year 182 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: olds when you are yes, that's exactly right. When you're 183 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: hitting puberty, it's important to have biological conversations with kids 184 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: about what is happening to them that doesn't happen in kindergarten, 185 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: first grade, second grade, third grade. My wife is great 186 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: on topics like these, because that's the other thing is 187 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: you should let your kid choose their gender and respect 188 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: it when they're like in first grade. That's an argument 189 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: of transgender advocates and my wife we're having this conversation. 190 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't let our kids pick what food 191 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: they eat in first grade, because if they did, they 192 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: would pick candy cake. You know, we don't allow kids 193 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: to pick their meals when their kindergarten, first grade, second grade, 194 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: third grade, and we're going to allow them to pick 195 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: their gender. And certainly, if we're not allowing them to 196 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: pick their meals, we don't need to be having a 197 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: larger conversation about society and sex roles for young kids. 198 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: But again, this is the desperation because I think, look, 199 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats are aware, even though they won't acknowledge it, 200 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: that they got crushed on masks and that they're wrong, 201 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: and that the vast majority of the American public team 202 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: reality as we call them, has lined up and we 203 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: need to play the ridiculous clip from the New New 204 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: York City mayor here maybe in the next segment about 205 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: what's going on there. Democrats are aware that they lost 206 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: the battle on whether America is an awful racist place 207 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: because parents don't believe that, and they don't believe that 208 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: they should their kids should be being taught that, which 209 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: is effectively what critical race theory is. And so they're 210 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: looking for something in the classrooms where they can win 211 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: a battle to try to change the narrative of what 212 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: is going on in public schools. They're going to lose 213 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: this one too, I think, but there will be You say, 214 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: Disney's getting pressure. Have you seen this? They want Disney 215 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: to speak out and say something about this Florida bill. 216 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: When I think most people out there listening, regardless of 217 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: whether you're a Democrat, Republican or independent, if you've raised 218 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: young kids, preschoolers, kindergarteners, first grader, second graders, third graders, 219 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: they don't need to be enmeshed in human sexuality discussions. Yeah, 220 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: and also, if I were a parent, I'm not yet, 221 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: but if I were a parent, I wouldn't want some 222 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: bureaucrat randomly being the one that introduces my child to 223 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: this kind of discussion. I would want to have some 224 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: time period as a child grows and develops a little 225 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: bit where we could have a father son or father daughter, etc. 226 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: Discussion or mother son mother daughter. We'll come back into 227 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: this in a second though on the masking of children 228 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: and how it's still going on in New York City schools. 229 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: Then we've got a guest who's gotta deep dive for 230 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: us into where are we now with a China reaction 231 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: to the war in Ukraine and how would that affect 232 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: possible plans for Taiwan. That's just at the bottom of 233 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: the hour.

They've done away with vaccine mandates to 269 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 1: get into bars, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, all those things. 270 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: They also have done away with kids having to wear 271 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: masks in schools, and by the way, most kids immediately 272 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: stopped wearing masks because they don't want to wear masks 273 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: and their parents recognize now that masks make no impact. 274 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: But what's crazy is they are still mandating mask for 275 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: kids under the age of five. Let me repeat that. So, 276 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: if you're in kindergarten through twelfth grade now in New 277 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: York City schools, you don't have to wear a mask. 278 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: If you are a two, three, a four year old 279 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: and you are in PreK or you're in daycare, you 280 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: are still required to wear a mask in New York City. 281 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: This makes absolutely no sense because younger kids are under 282 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: even less risk. It doesn't make sense for a sixteen 283 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: year old to be wearing a mask, but a sixteen 284 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: year old old is statistically far more in danger from 285 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: COVID even though it's virtually zero danger than a two 286 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: year old is so to the credit of the media 287 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: member here. New York City Mayor Eric Adams was asked 288 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: about why that discrepancy existed. He said that it was 289 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: necessary to keep New York from having to go back 290 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: into a lockdown. I wish I was making this up. 291 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: A group of parents brought me and talk to their 292 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: children and explained to them. I told them, you're going 293 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: to be taking off your mask like your big brothers 294 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: and sisters are doing now. You know, when you have 295 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: big brothers and sisters, sometimes they do things first to 296 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: make sure it's safe for you. And those children they 297 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: understand it because they trust their parents and they trust 298 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: their leadership. They're not tainted like adults. You know. They 299 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: still feel that we have to make the right decisions 300 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: for them. And I'm with the parents. I wanted those 301 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: masks off, I said it in January, but I have 302 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: to do it right to make y'all city protect his 303 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: children and don't close down the city again. No no, no, 304 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: I mean Clay, We're not letting us go. We're not 305 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: letting it go. Here here the new mayor is saying, 306 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: I'm with parents, I want the mask. Then say the 307 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: masks come off the kids. Don't be an idiot the mask. 308 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: This is what we're seeing. Masks are the least necessary 309 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: for children, the least likely to work even if masks 310 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: did work, which they don't because of how children will 311 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: actually interact with them day in and day out, and lockdowns. 312 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: Shutting down the city didn't work. So he's saying we 313 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: can't stop doing this thing that doesn't work in order 314 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: to prevent doing another thing that we now know doesn't work, 315 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: which I think now this is this is like the 316 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: definition of COVID mania. That and also wear spauci. I 317 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: think he fell in the couch cushion. Someone should go 318 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: look for him. The anti science aspect here. If you 319 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: are fine with kindergarten through twelfth graders not wearing masks, 320 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: there is zero data to support that two three and 321 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: four year olds need to wear masks. So and then 322 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: the idea that if they stop wearing masks that there's 323 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: going to be necessity of lockdowns. I give credit to 324 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: Eric Adams because he's been better than Bill de Blasio. Now, 325 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: granted that is not a very high bar to reach, 326 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: but he does seem to be trying to get New 327 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: York City back to normalcy and to have some semblance 328 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: of an idea that the crime rate is a major 329 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: issue and that New York as a tourist hub cannot 330 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: return to normalcy as long as you're requiring vaccine, passports 331 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: and masks. But there's no reasonable basis, no data to 332 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: support whatsoever the idea that two year olds need to 333 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: be wearing a mask in New York City and saying, hey, 334 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: those kids understand that older kids don't have to do things. Yeah, 335 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: that makes sense when we talk about kids aging in 336 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: the way we treat them, Like by the way the 337 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: bill in Florida which says kindergartener should be talked to 338 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: about sexual issues different than seventh and eighth graders, it 339 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense in mask. I want to tell you, 340 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: as we roll into this break, everybody's trying to save money. 341 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: We got an all time high in gas prices and 342 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: mortgage rates are going to be going up very soon. Joe, 343 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: you could say a thousand dollars a month just by 344 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: getting hooked up with a new mortgage at American Financing. 345 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: Think about how much twelve thousand dollars a year difference 346 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: could make for you. I know everybody's busy, but this 347 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: call only takes ten minutes. And instead of arguing with 348 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: your wife or your husband about whether you called or not, 349 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: how about one of you guys just grabs your phone 350 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: right now and calls American Financing at eight hundred seven 351 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: seven seven eighty one oh nine. Put your financial house 352 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: in order, make the decision to save tens of thousands 353 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: of dollars, maybe even one hundred thousand or more over 354 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: the life of your loan. Eight hundred seven seven seven 355 00:18:53,280 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: eighty one o nine American Financing dot net. What is 356 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: China going to do? As US sanctions escalate against Russia 357 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: and as the conflict in Ukraine continues to become more 358 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: violent and threatens to bring in further outside actors, what 359 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: is China doing in the midst of all this. We've 360 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: got somebody who's thought about written about this a lot. 361 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: Stephen Mosier, president of the Population Research Institute, an author 362 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: of a dozen books on China, including his latest bully 363 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: of Asia. Why China's dream is the new threat to 364 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: world order? Stephen, thanks so much for being with us. Well, 365 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 1: it's good to be with you, guys. So you had 366 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: a piece of the New York Post just a couple 367 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: of days ago. With us distracted by Ukraine, she is 368 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: plotting his own invasion. We've been talking about this possibility 369 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: for months. How sure are you that that is the 370 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: Chinese a strategy in response to Ukraine? And what indicators 371 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 1: are we seeing? Well, we're seeing for the last few years, 372 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: of course, multiple indicators. We have repeated incursions. I think 373 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: we're up to a couple of thousand incursions by Russian 374 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: Chinese fighters and bombers into Taiwan airspace. We have repeated 375 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: threats from Beijing that if Taipei were to move in 376 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: the direction of independence declare independence, that that would be 377 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 1: a red line that would trigger an invasion. And we 378 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: see the building up of an amphibious force for the 379 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: first time in China, which is what they would need 380 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: to invade Taiwan on the beaches. So they are all 381 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: kinds of signs. And actually Sijing Ping is behind schedule 382 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: because the Emperor of China said he was going to 383 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: retake Taiwan by twenty twenty. It's now twenty twenty two. 384 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: It seems to be the attacks seems to have been 385 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: delayed by his releasing a bioweapon on the world, killing 386 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: six million people, so he's pushed back his timetable. But 387 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: make no mistake, he wants to be the great unifier, 388 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: just as Vladimir Putin wants to re establish the old 389 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: Russian Empire. So the leader of China wants to take 390 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: back all of the last territories, first and foremost Taiwan. 391 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: But also there are lots of territories around China's periphery 392 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: that once belonged to the Chinese Empire that I think 393 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 1: Sijian King would like to get back. Some of them 394 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: are in Russia. By the way, would we see a 395 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: major national response international response, I should say, akin to 396 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: what we have seen with Russia invading Ukraine if China 397 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: invaded Taiwan. Or is China's position in the global stratosphere 398 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: of economic relationships so much more significant that there would 399 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: not be an ability to isolate China and impose sanctions 400 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: on them. Well, that's a very interesting question because Jimping 401 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: is looking at Ukraine as a test case and judging 402 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: from the ration of the West West sort of reaction 403 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: he's likely to get if he moves into Taiwan. I 404 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: would argue that Taiwan has much more strategic significance than 405 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: Ukraine does because Ukraine is a grain basket. We feel 406 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: sympathy for the people of Ukraine. But look, ninety four 407 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: percent of the chips in the world are made in Taiwan. 408 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: If you lose Taiwan, you lose the vast majority of 409 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: the chip manufacturing capability of the world. And China engages 410 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: in economic warfare. Look at what they've done to Australia. 411 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: They've banned sixteen different Australian products, so they would not 412 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: hesitate to use their control of chips to dominate other countries. 413 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: And then if Taiwan poles, you give the Chinese navy 414 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 1: open access to the Pacific and the next stop is 415 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: Hawaii and the West Coast to the United States. Right now, 416 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: the Chinese Navy is hemmed in by what by South Korea, 417 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: by Japan, by the island chain down to Taiwan, through 418 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 1: the Philippines and into the South China Sea. If they 419 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: get Taiwan, they have deep water ports we're speaking to 420 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 1: Stephen Moser. He's president of the Population Research Institute. He's 421 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: got a piece with the US. Distracted by Ukraine, she 422 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: is plotting his own invasion the New York Posts. Stephen, 423 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: how do you think I mean? We're watching right now 424 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: a contest between a relative superpower, with Russia certainly a 425 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: regional superpower against what had been and is an outgunned 426 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: and outmanned Ukraine. But Ukraine seems to be by most analyzes, 427 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: although there's a lot of back and forth on this, 428 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: punching considerably above its weight and causing real problems for 429 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: the Russian invasion. How do you foresee an actual Chinese 430 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: invasion of Taiwan going? Is it possible the Taiwanese could 431 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: also put up a very stiff resistance that might not 432 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: just complicate things, but even for China's ambitions, Well, I 433 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: think we ought to complicate things for trying to right now. 434 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: I think we ought to clearly armed Taiwan and to 435 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: the point where it becomes a kind of porky pine 436 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: and any invading force comes across the Taiwan Straits would 437 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: wind up with a bunch of quills in their face 438 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: and a bunch of ships on the bottom the true 439 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: transports on the bottom of the Taiwan Straits. So what's 440 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: in Taiwan's favor is that seventy seven percent of the 441 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: people of Taiwan they would take up arms and fight 442 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: against the communist Chinese invaders. Number one. Number two, They've 443 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: got a ninety mile wide moat, which is pretty good moat, 444 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: and amphibious landings are not easy to carry off. We 445 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: did in World War Two. We've had a lot of practice. 446 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: China has zero practice in that regard, so they could 447 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: go badly, very very quickly. So I think those things 448 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: are weighing in Taiwan's favor. Against that, of course, you'd 449 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: have to say, as you pointed out, China has a 450 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: population ten times out of Russia, it has an economy 451 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: ten times out of Russia, it has a much larger navy, 452 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: so that weighs in China's favor. But if things go 453 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: badly for Putin, and I kind of suspect they will, 454 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: that he's going to reach some sort of compromise withdraw 455 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: his troops, then Taiwan is going to be safe for 456 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: some years to come. Make no mistake, you know, Jinking 457 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: has much grander ambitions than Putin does. I mean Putin 458 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: wants to be you know, the reincarnation of Peter the Great. 459 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: He wants to re establish Greater Russia, you know, striding 460 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: ruthlessly over Greater Russia's imperial domains. But Shijing Ping, like 461 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: Chinese emperor's past, is pursuing a much more grandiose vision. 462 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: He wants to rule over all under heaven. That's what chenshaw, 463 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: which is how you say it in Chinese. All under 464 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: heaven means literally everything. So he doesn't want he won't 465 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: be satisfied with just Taiwan. He wants to extend his 466 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: reach throughout Asia. And I wouldn't be surprised now that 467 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: Putin is the supplicant in the relationship, now that Putin 468 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: and Russia are the junior partner in the relationship with China, 469 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: that he wouldn't want to approach on Russia at some 470 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: point as well. So Putin ought to be careful. He's 471 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: in dealing with she, you know, his frenemy, right, his 472 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: frenemy friend or enemy that can switch from day to day. 473 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: He has to be very careful because China has global ambitions. Stephen, 474 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: how would we commit troops actual boots on the around 475 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: troops to defend Taiwan, in your opinion, because we have 476 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: the strategic ambiguity policy which is constantly being sort of 477 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: himmed in haught On, but we've never really said and 478 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: if we did, would South Korea, would Japan, would Australia, 479 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: would any European countries? And how quickly could we get 480 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: there in the event of an invasion? Kind of take 481 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: me into China begins the invasion in the United States, 482 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: does what Well. I wrote a book about this called 483 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: China Attacks back twenty years ago, and of course it 484 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: was a novel, but I sort of imagine how the 485 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: attack would take place and how we might get involved. Best, 486 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: the best way to defend against a Chinese invasion of 487 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: Taiwan is simply to put the seventh Fleet in the way, 488 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: half the seventh Fleet patrolling the Taiwan Straits. That's what 489 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 1: we did in the Offshore Islands crises. In nineteen fifty 490 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 1: eight under President Eisenhower, former general who knew what he 491 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: was doing. He was asked about an invasion of ii Wan, 492 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: and he said, any invasion of Taiwan will have to 493 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: run over the seventh Fleet. And it never happened. Australia 494 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: and Japan have both said that they would contribute to 495 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: the defense of Taiwan. So there's already a kind of 496 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: alliance forming, which is upset China. China's foreign minister just 497 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: said yesterday that he's very upset about the fact that 498 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: the US seems to be creating a NATO in Asia. Well, 499 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: we're not creating a NATO in Asia, my goodness. The 500 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party is creating a NATO in Asia by 501 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: being constantly aggressive against its near neighbors and forcing them 502 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: countries like India and Japan and Australia to join together 503 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: and ask US for help. So they're forging the alliance 504 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: that they claim to be threatened by. Stephen Moser, thank 505 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: you so much.

Welcome back in glat your avas Buck Sexton show. 534 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. There's an 535 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: interesting conversation about what might happen going forward in the 536 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: situation with China and Taiwan. We got a lot of 537 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 1: people who want to weigh in on a variety of 538 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: different topics. Sue in North Carolina, Let's take a couple 539 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: of your calls here, Sue, what you got for us? Yes, 540 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: he love, all right, how are you? It's the greatest, 541 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you, Miss Rush. But you guys are 542 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: real close. Thanks we miss Rushed too. Yes, oh, yes, 543 00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: I had a question. Well, actually two shot ones. I 544 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: did some research and the percentage of oil that we 545 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: get from Russia. What I'm trying to understand is if 546 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: this percentage that I got, six percent is that low, 547 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, why are gas prices going up so fast 548 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: and such exorbitantly if this seems like a very low percentage. 549 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: I think it's around ten percent is the number that 550 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: I've seen. I'm not sure what number you've seen, Buck, 551 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: but it's not different obviously that much than the number 552 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: that you are talking about. As well. The larger issue 553 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: is the degree to which we're concerned about oil and 554 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,959 Speaker 1: gas coming into this country, right, and an ideal world, 555 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: we would not even have to consider bringing in oil 556 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: and gas from anywhere else. And thankfully we have created 557 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: some energy independence for ourselves thanks to the oil and 558 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: gas industry in this country. I think yesterday with Trisha Regan, 559 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: she was discussing the amount of oil and gas that's 560 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: produced by this country compared to maybe what's the ground 561 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia and what's in the ground in Venezuela. 562 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: And we don't have necessarily the long range history of 563 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: oil in the ground that those other countries have. But look, 564 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the overall issues. Remember, it's a 565 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: global marketplace for oil and gas, so Europe is having 566 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: to pay more and having more difficulty getting oil and gas, 567 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: which drives up the cost there. It's not just what 568 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: the price is going to be for this good in 569 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: the United States, right, So I think that's worth considering. 570 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: And again to what extent are we able not only US, 571 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: but also Russia, because if russia gas is not being 572 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly purchased by Europe, Europe's going to have to replace 573 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: that somewhere else, which is going to drive up the 574 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: cost for other providers as well. Right, it's a global 575 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: issue with trying to figure out how many barrels are 576 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: going to how many different places around the world. There's 577 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: also speculation that affects all this too, where people start 578 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: to wonder, play you brought up from before. The price 579 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,719 Speaker 1: of wheat right now is skyrockety rocketing, right, and this 580 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: is this is anticipating supply shortages and being reflected in 581 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: the market. Same thing is true with oil too. It's 582 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: not just what the price of oil is today, it's 583 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: what the market believes the price of oil will be 584 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: in thirty days and ninety days, and that also can 585 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: have a major effect. And this is the you're you're 586 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: seeing all the economic indicators right now that you would 587 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: want for a healthy economy. Things are trending very much 588 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: now in the wrong and for wheat, by the way 589 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 1: people might be out there. This is the biggest impact 590 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: of Ukraine. Ukraine produces a huge percentage of the global wheat, 591 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: all of the bread basket or the grain basket, so 592 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: to speak. Of the Soviet Union, which is part of 593 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: why it was you know, it's the Soviet policy that 594 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: led to the Holidamor was because of the industrialization of 595 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: the Five Year Plan under Stalin, they they change the 596 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: way that they liquidated the cool locks, who were independent 597 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: farmers as a class. This is back in the Soviet 598 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: Union late nineteen thirties or sorry, early nineteen thirties, and 599 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: they liquidated the coolocks as a class, and then there 600 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: was a massive famine where millions of people, which is 601 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: called the Holidamor in Ukraine starved to death because that 602 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: was the region that was the region that was supposed 603 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: to provide the grain for much of the rest of 604 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union, but because of the industrialization policies and 605 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: collective farms, people starved to death. A reminder that that's 606 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: what happens when you put the government in charge of 607 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 1: an entire economy and they're a bunch of commies and 608 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: the wheat prices are skyrocketing is such an extent which 609 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: immediately then filters into everything else. Right, So inflation is 610 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: seven and a half percent, I would be very surprised 611 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,479 Speaker 1: if we're not going to double digit inflation almost just 612 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: based on the price of gas by itself, but when 613 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: you look at what's happening with oil, I mean with 614 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: wheat prices. I don't think that's getting anywhere near the 615 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: same amount of attention. But they are skyrocketing at an 616 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: even higher rate and fast rate than the price of 617 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 1: oil is. Right now. We got Suzanne in Liverpool, New York. 618 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm from New York. I don't even know there was 619 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: a Liverpool, New York. Did to know? Susanne, Thanks so much. 620 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: Here we are and it's sunny but cold. You got 621 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: me thinking about talk when you were talking about the 622 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: volunteers and the people fighting in the Ukraine. The eighteen 623 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: to thirty four year olds took me back to nine 624 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: eleven when my husband and my uncle saw the the 625 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: towers going down. My aunt called me and she said, 626 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: this my uncle Marsh. Marsh wants to talk to Pete. 627 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: And they hung up, and all of a sudden, my 628 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: husband is running around the house here and I said, 629 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: what are you doing? He said, I'm looking for my 630 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: tan jacket. What for? Because Marsh has got the guns 631 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: in the car and we are going down to New 632 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: York City. They had both served in World War Two 633 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: and they were ready to go again. They were both 634 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: eighty six years old. And it got and it got 635 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: me to thinking, how will our eighteen to thirty four 636 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: year old act if it should come to such in 637 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 1: this country. Again, it's it's very interesting, Susan and I 638 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: you know, I had such a great story by the way, too. Yeah, 639 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: I'll talk about the call the Greatest generation. I mean, Clay, 640 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know you go back in your lineage 641 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: you had people served in in the Big One, in 642 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: World War Two or or perhaps other US conflicts in 643 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: the past. We have a we have a warrior class 644 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: in this country. In essence, we have a volunteer military, 645 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: and we have people who are warriors and they've been 646 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: fighting our wars now for for many decades. If we 647 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: had an all hands on deck situation, so to speak. 648 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: With that, it's going back to that pole, Quinnipiac pole. 649 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people in World War Two, 650 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: it was if you were of age and your number 651 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: got called, you were going basically right. I think there 652 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: are a lot of people right now in this country 653 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,200 Speaker 1: because of what they've been told about America, who would 654 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: not want to go even if it was an attack, 655 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 1: an invasion of the homeland. That's why. And for those 656 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: of you who missed that discussion, I'd encourage you to 657 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: go listen to the first Hour podcast. But eighteen to 658 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: thirty four year olds were less likely to be willing 659 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: to fight if America was invaded then those who are 660 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: sixty five and older, and that to me was a 661 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 1: staggering part. Now, also, it was disgusting that the average Democrat, 662 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 1: only forty percent of Democrats were willing to fight if 663 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: we were invaded like Ukraine is being invaded.

Fantastic 668 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: story though about those World War Two veterans
