1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: Rolling through the Friday edition of the program, will you're 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: joined now by Alaskan Senate candidate Kelly Shabaka. She is 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,159 Speaker 1: running in the primary that will be going on. And 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: then I want to ask you about this, Kelly, because 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: I think it's kind of fascinating. I know we've got 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: a lot of listeners in Alaska, but you guys have 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: ranked choice voting, is my understanding, and a top four 10 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: end up being able to compete. How will that work? 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,959 Speaker 1: What would you tell people who are listening to us 12 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: right now that want you to defeat Lisa Murkowski? How 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: should they rank going forward? What is the way that 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: the voting will exist there compared to what a lot 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: of times is different than a usual election. Well, it's 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: great to be with you, Thanks so much for having me. 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm calling in from Norvik, Alaska, which is on the 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: western an edge of our state, so we're like a 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: border state with Russia. So I'm hoping that the connection 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: stays great. As far as ranked choice this November, the 21 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: answer is really simple. The top four candidates will go forward. 22 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Right now, it's basically a head to head with me 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: and Lisa Murkowski. We're both going to the general election. 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: The Democrat has dropped out, and don't know who the 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: other two candidates will be because there's nobody else's raised 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: more than several thousand dollars. The answer for everybody who 27 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: wants Kelly to win is put Kelly is number one, 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: and don't put anybody else. And I'm confident that we 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: have a really strong chance of winning. The Alaska Republican 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: Party has officially censured Murkowski. They did that before I 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: ever announced my candidacy. She is not allowed to use 32 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: the Republican name in her election. She's running to quote 33 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: keep Alaska independent, you know, like Bernie Sanders is independent, 34 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: and she's voting a majority of the time with Bernie Sanders. 35 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: Now and then, the Alaska Republican Party has endorsed me 36 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: as well as President Trump. I functionally am the Republican 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: nominee and Alaska always votes Republican in statewide elections. So 38 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: when it comes to this ranked choice business, if you 39 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: just vote Kelly and keep everything else blank, I'm confident 40 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: I will be the number one candidate. And the ranked 41 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: choice scenario, anybody else who drops off your ballot's still 42 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: going to count. We don't need to worry about anything else. 43 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: And so a pull that came out last week by 44 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: bright Bart says that in this ranked choice scenario, I 45 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: will win by two points currently and we still have 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: seven months to expand that lead. So it's looking really good. Kelly, 47 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: it's buck. I just want to say thanks for joining us, 48 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: and I've been very clear. I mean, I don't have 49 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: to do with some journalism. I'm not a journalist do 50 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: where they pretend not to support or not support one 51 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: or the other. For me, the Murkowski vote against Kavanaugh 52 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: is an unforgivable political sin. I'm just wondering if is 53 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: that what spurred you on to decide that Ki doesn't 54 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 1: really represent in any meaningful way the GOP and what 55 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: got you into this race? Why did you decide that 56 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: you wanted to do this? But that's definitely one that's 57 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: really high for many Alaskans. It's like she indicted him 58 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: simply for being male, and she opposed Kavanaugh. She Philibus, 59 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: ord Amy Coney Barrett, and then of course what the 60 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: heck did she do yesterday? And giving her full support 61 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: to this justice who bends over backwards to defend child 62 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: sex abusers and refuses to distinguish between two genders. For me, 63 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: it is really concerning as an Alaskan mom of five children. 64 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: But the vote that absolutely got me into this. I 65 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: am not a politician by background, even though I am 66 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: an anti swamp bureaucracy whisper. February twenty four, twenty twenty one, 67 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: I watched Lisa Murkowski cast the tie breaking vote to 68 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: advance the nomination of this radical environmentalist, Deb holland And 69 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: to be Biden's Interior Secretary, and she said, this will 70 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: hurt Alaska. I have misgivings about it, but I'm going 71 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: to do it anyway. And she did this knowing that 72 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: Deb Holland planned to champion Biden's energy annihilating agenda, and 73 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: with that single vote, she killed thousands of oil and 74 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: gas and natural resource jobs across our state without feeling 75 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: it at all. But I felt it like a kick 76 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: in the gut because my mom got an oil job 77 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: before I was born. In that oil job help my 78 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: parents fight their way into working class America, because my 79 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: parents had ended up being homeless in Alaska and they 80 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: just struggled like heck to get their feet up under them. 81 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: But it was because of that oil job that they 82 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: moved into a mobile home and then into their starter 83 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: home and then had me. And if it wasn't for 84 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: that job, I don't know where our story would have been. 85 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: So Lisa Markowski doesn't feel it, though, Buck, because her 86 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: dad literally appointed her to that Senate seat. She is 87 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: the product of Washington DC insiders and the political elite. 88 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: She doesn't depend on the resource industry in Alaska. She 89 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: doesn't know what it means to depend on other Alaskans. 90 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: But I owe everything to this state and to the 91 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: Alaskans who came around my family and gave us the 92 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: opportunities we had. When she killed all those jobs, I 93 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: just thought, she's not fighting for us. She's fighting to 94 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: be popular in DC. But who's looking out for all 95 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,119 Speaker 1: of us Alaskans. I'm going to fight for the people 96 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: who fought for me. It's just that simple. Kelly, you 97 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: got an incredible bio. You got five kids. As you 98 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: just mentioned, your parents were homeless in Alaska for a time. 99 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: You were the first in your family to go to college, 100 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: and then you went on to Harvard Law School, What 101 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: was the cultural experience like for you to go from 102 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: Alaska to all the way into Boston and find yourself 103 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: at Harvard Law School. I went to law school. It's 104 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: a bit of a cultural challenge for anyone. What was 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: that experience like for you? Well, the best part of 106 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: Harvard Law was meeting my amazing husband, who as a 107 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: first generation Congolese immigrant, his dad grew up in a 108 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: mud hut in the rainfall of Africa. And I love 109 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: my husband, Jerley. However, Harvard Law they don't take very 110 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: well to outspoken conservatives from Alaska. And I won't be bullied, 111 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: and I won't be silence, and I won't be controlled. 112 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: My dad always said, you know, talk straight kids. They 113 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: might not like what you say, but they always know 114 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: where you stand, and that's called integrity. And I really 115 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: value my integrity. And so they posted death threats regularly 116 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: against me in the student common and I think that's fun. 117 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: England liberals and leftist post death threats because look, I 118 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: grew up in the land of predators. When you walk 119 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: outside your front door, I was taught to look both 120 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: ways because you don't know what's going to eat you. 121 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: And so it just didn't FaZe me much, because you know, 122 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: this is Alaska and you've got to look out for 123 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: yourself no matter where you're going, and there's just not 124 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: much bite to leftist spark. I guess I'll put it 125 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: that way. And so I've also learned looking back that 126 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: going to Harvard Law and having all those death threats 127 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: really change your well for running for the US Senate. 128 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: And that was my experience there. I got trained well, 129 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: I learned well that I didn't stop talking and expressing 130 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: my conservative views. That was Harvard. We're speaking to a 131 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: Senate candidate for the Republican Party in Alaska, Kelly Chuvaka. 132 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: And Kelly, I just want to know because there's so 133 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: much focus on the energy industry right now and how 134 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: obviously the price of gas people are paying at the 135 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: pump is a major concern for a lot of families 136 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: struggling to make ends meet. The geopolitical situation because of Russia, 137 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: Ukraine and the price of gas in recent weeks, and 138 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: how that's affected it. What is the truth because the 139 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: Biden administration makes it seem like they're they're all in favor, 140 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: you know, drill wherever you want. Lots of permits out there, 141 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: you must know in your home state of Alaska what 142 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: the truth is of this and how are they making 143 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: it harder to produce fossil fuel energy and to bring 144 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: down those gas prices with domestic production in Alaska. So 145 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: Biden's an expert at the blame game. You know, for 146 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: a while it was Putin's fault, and it's some meat 147 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: industry fault, the oil industry fault, Republican's fault. It's really 148 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: only Biden's fault. When Biden feels at the blame game, 149 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: he then plays the spectrum of deception game. And this 150 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: misinformation thing. Oh, we'll look up here. Because we talk straight, 151 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: we just call it lies. There's anyone who knows the 152 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: oil industry knows that you can give out the permits 153 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: all you want, or the lease is all you want. 154 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: But if you kind of draw the analogy to a 155 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: lease in an apartment building, we can find the papers, 156 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: but if you don't hand over the keys, a paper 157 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: is meaningless. That's sort of what they're doing. They'll say, oh, 158 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: you know, we've randing out all the leases, but then 159 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: they'll hold us up with the permits. They'll hold us 160 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: up with environmental survey reviews. There is an entire process 161 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: in the oil industry. Once you get a lease, you've 162 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: got to get your permits, you've got to get your 163 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: vironmental surveys. You've got to go through exploration, development, drilling 164 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: before you can actually start producing. So I'll give you 165 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: the example of anwar. The courts have set open an our, 166 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: Congress is set open an our. Trump let us open anwark. 167 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: Biden has come in and shut it down, and even 168 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: though everybody has told him open it from courts and 169 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Congress is set. Deb Holland, who's only there because of 170 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: Senator Murkowski, has held us up, saying she has to 171 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: redo the environmental impact survey that was previously done and 172 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: approved over two years. I remember, we've done decades of 173 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: EIS reviews and pass them all simply because she wants 174 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: to hold us up. So we're cleared and green to 175 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: go for Anmar and Deb Hollands the want to shut 176 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: us down. So that's kind of that spectrum of deception 177 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Oh leave said drill, baby, drill, and 178 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: they're the ones who are shutting us down. If you 179 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: want to know the real truth, I've toured more miles 180 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: in states than it takes to circumnavigate the globe. Here 181 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: I am in Norvik. I can't even count the number 182 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: of people I've talked to who in one year have 183 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: gone completely bankrupt, lost their homes, lost their cars, lost 184 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: their bank accounts, lost everything because of this Biden administration 185 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: and all their money that was tied to oil, whether 186 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: it was jobs, contracts, etc. All because of the decisions 187 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: made by Deb holland confirmed by Lisa Murkowski. So do 188 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: not believe those lies. I'm sitting up here fighting for 189 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: the people just like my mom and dad who have 190 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: lost everything because of them. Kelly, if people want to 191 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: support you instead of Lisa Murkowski, what would you tell 192 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: them to do? You told them how to vote, where 193 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: would you tell them to go?

You'll remember earlier in the week we 225 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: told you that there was the first Capital Hill defendant 226 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: from January sixth who was found not guilty, and it 227 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: was because Capitol Hill Police, at least it was plausible 228 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: according to the judge, that he was waved in by 229 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: Capitol police. This had come this way, sir. He didn't 230 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: destroy anything, didn't attack anyone, so he was not guilty 231 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: on all charges. So usually government, I bring us up 232 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: just because the government doesn't usually lose these kinds of cases. 233 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean, when the federal government decides that you're going 234 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: down and you go to trial. Just understand what Clay, 235 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: correct me if this is off. It's something like this, right, 236 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: About ninety eight percent of cases at the federal level 237 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: are plea bargained, right, so about ninety eight percent of 238 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 1: them never even see the inside of a court. And 239 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: then I don't know what the stats are, but I 240 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: know the federal government wins a vast majority of the 241 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: federal cases that criminal cases that it brings, right, no 242 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: doubt it is. The Feds do not lose very often, 243 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: and that's partly because they have the resources to bring 244 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: to bear on these cases that are infinitely more committed, 245 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: and also they tend to bring charges in cases that 246 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: they feel very confident about. So with that in mind, 247 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: what just is happening in Michigan? And this has just 248 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: come out, so we're just giving you breaking news here. 249 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm reading from Julie Kelly, who we've had on the 250 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: show before to talk about the January sixth defendants, the jury, 251 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: and the Whitmer trial. This is the kidnapping case in Michigan. 252 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: If you guys remember, it received a ton of attention 253 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: the idea that these right wing zealots were attempting to 254 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. They have been unable to 255 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: reach a full verdict on a lot of these charges, 256 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: but many of them are coming back now not guilty. 257 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: And I'm reading from Julie Kelly, the alleged ring leader 258 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 1: of the kidnapping trial. They couldn't reach a verdict on conspiracy, 259 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: even conspiracy to kidnapped. One of the offendants, not guilty 260 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: on kidnapping. Also in terms of gun charges, not guilty 261 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: on the gun charges. So what is appearing to be 262 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: the verdict of this jury is that effectively they bought 263 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: the argument that the FBI had entrapped these men to 264 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: a large extent. Again, based on what is just coming 265 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: down the verdict in the Michigan Governor Whitmer kidnapping case, 266 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: it appears that many of these jurors have bought the 267 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: idea that the FBI was in trapping these guys. And 268 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: this is going to be a big story, and I 269 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: bet come Monday we'll talk about it in greater detail. 270 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: But this is the final, you know, twenty minutes of 271 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: the show. This number the details just coming down. This 272 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 1: is from last summer from BuzzFeed News. An examination of 273 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: the evidence in the case by BuzzFeed reveals that some 274 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: of those informants acting under the direction of the FBI 275 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: played a far larger role than have been previously reported. 276 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: Working in secret, they did more than just passively observe 277 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: and report on the actions of the suspects. Instead, they 278 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: had a hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, 279 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: starting with its inception. The extent of their involvement raises 280 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: questions as to whether there would have even been a 281 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: conspiracy without them. For BuzzFeed to write this because remember, folks, 282 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: in the early days of this Gretchen Whittmer was the 283 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: was an extreme lockdowner. Okay, she was one of the 284 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: worst Fauciite disciples. Literally had a Faucy pillow behind her 285 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: during cable news hits to show how much she worshiped 286 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: Saint Fauci Clay. Right, I'm not that is one hundred 287 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: percent fact. She had a Faucy crocheted pillow behind her. 288 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: And then the news of this story of the kidnapping 289 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: of Gretchen Whitmer by by right wing radicals, it turns 290 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: out actually their politics were even far murkier and less 291 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: clear than that. But it immediately turned into anybody who 292 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: opposes Gretchen Whitmer is one of these right wing radical 293 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: insurrectionist trumpers. Right, they used it as this attack on 294 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: the right. So the left piled on these guys right 295 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: away and said that it was Trump's fault that people 296 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: are threatening violence, not even threatening violence, plotting violence against 297 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: the sitting governor of Michigan, all this stuff, and then 298 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: when the actual evidence came out, it was just a 299 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: very different case and that clearly two of these guys 300 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: were found not guilty, not guilt charges. Yeah, and that's 301 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: a huge just just from a prosecutorial standpoint, Clay, right, 302 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: like that is this is what a prosecutor, federal prosecutor's 303 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: nightmare to lose a case like this. Well, and it 304 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: also makes it hard buck to bring additional charges in 305 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: a future case because you just lost two of the 306 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: people that were involved in your case or not guilty. 307 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: So how are you going to prove that the other 308 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: two guys are guilty? We've actually got she's done a 309 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: great job covering this, Julie. Kelly just called in. She's 310 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: been great at helping to defend some of these people 311 00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: in January sixth and tell their story. Julie, we're trying 312 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: to contextualize exactly what happened. We appreciate you being flexible 313 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: because we saw you tweeting all about it. What happened 314 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: in this Whitmer trial in the last thirty minutes or so? 315 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: What is the jury officially determined? The jury in red 316 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: Rapids that hand down a single conviction in the alleged 317 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: kidnapping plot to kidnap gret to Whitmer in twenty twenty, 318 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: you have four men who faced numerous federal charges, including 319 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: a charge that would have landed them in prison for 320 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: the rest of their lives conspiracy to kidnaps. They also 321 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: were charged with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, 322 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: not a single conviction. Two men were completely acquitted. The 323 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: other two men, including the alleged ring leer Adam A. Fox, 324 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: the jury was dead lost on their guilt, so the 325 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: judge declared a mistrial on their two cases. This is 326 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: It's hard to overstate what a stunning blow this is 327 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: for the US Department of Justice, A well deserved blow. 328 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, playing books, some people need to 329 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 1: answer for what they did to be not just to 330 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: these men, but to the American people by arresting these men, 331 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: blaming this concocted plot on Donald Trump and producing all 332 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: these damaging headlines for him as millions of Americans were 333 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: voting from the twenty twenty presidential election. This is, as 334 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: I tweeted earlier, a bigger scandal than Russia Gate. This 335 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: is yet another example, a more flagrant and possibly far 336 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: more damaging example of the FBI once again interfering in 337 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: a presidential election to sabotage Donald Trump. Julie, can you 338 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,239 Speaker 1: just tell us thanks for being with us? Buck? Can 339 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: you tell us some of the I read just an 340 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: exerpt from I think it was last summer where even 341 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: the Democrat lived media started to say, yeah, this Widmer 342 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: case is actually a little shakier than perhaps we had anticipated. 343 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: Or you know whatever, right doesn't matter. They're obviously trying 344 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: to come up with a certain narrative. What sort of 345 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: things were these informants? I mean, why did this case 346 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: fall apart? Essentially? Well, I really have to credit this 347 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: judge and this jury. They took almost five days to 348 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: very carefully deliberate all of the evidence before them. And 349 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the judge who I really liked, especially 350 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 1: after listening to DC District Cord judges. I don't want 351 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: to say concealed, but he ruled with on behalf of 352 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: the government in number of cases that withheld really egregious 353 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: examples of how the FBI agents and their informants were 354 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: putting this whole plot together and trapping these men, inducing 355 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: them to try to commit crimes. But there were at 356 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: least a dozen FBI agents underc other agents and informants 357 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: involved in this. You basically had one FBI asset per defendant. 358 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: There are also men who face state charges there. These 359 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: men didn't even know each other before the FBI got involved. 360 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: They were going on excursions and trips that were planned 361 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: by the FBI that were paid for by the FBI. 362 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: The lead informant, a man named Dan Chaffel, was paid 363 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: at least compensated at least sixty thousand dollars from the FBI. 364 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: The other informant is a convicted felon with a rap 365 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: sheet and nine states who committed at least two other crimes, 366 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: but he was paid about twenty thousand dollars from this FBI. 367 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,959 Speaker 1: I mean, you, guys, if you had the best fiction 368 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: writer in the world, you could not write up the corruption, 369 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: the scandal, and really just the depravity of this FBI 370 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 1: operation that spanned several states. By the way, it wasn't 371 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: just in Michigan. This FBI field office is a numerous Julie, 372 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: I appreciate again you coming on with us in a 373 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: quick notice here as this story is just broken. The 374 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: other thing to keep in mind is Gretchen Whittmer is 375 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: up for reelection in twenty twenty two, and there's some 376 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: talk that she could potentially be a contender in twenty 377 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 1: twenty four. If Joe Biden is not running. This is 378 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: going to be a significant campaign issue, I would think 379 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: in the state of Michigan, because she gained a lot 380 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: of sympathy over this coverage, the idea that someone was 381 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: trying to kidnap her. And now all this evidence has 382 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: come out and a jury in Michigan has determined that 383 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: there wasn't a crime committed at all by any of 384 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: these four men so far. That's exactly right. And you 385 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: know that Gretchen Whittmer, you rewind back to twenty twenty, 386 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: think about two years ago, she and Donald Trump were 387 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: in a very public feud about her continuation of these 388 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: very draconian lockdown policies in her state. So they were 389 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: very vocal opponents of each other. So the question is 390 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: what did Corretchen Whitmer know? What was her complicity in 391 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: this FBI sting operation. What came out in a trial 392 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: is that the FBI had pulled cameras and other laser 393 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: devices around her cottage, which is where this kidnapping was 394 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: supposed to occur. They already had her cottage under surveillance. 395 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: She was not under any danger at any time, yet 396 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,959 Speaker 1: she did weeks of days. There are a few weeks 397 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: of interviews in October of twenty twenty, blaming Donald Trump 398 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: for this, inciting right wing militias who wanted to kidnap 399 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: and possibly kill her. These are the sorts of things 400 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: she was staying is people were voting. We need to 401 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: find out what she knew, how much of a part 402 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: of this sting operation she was actually a part of. 403 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: Julie Gelli was fantastic. One good thing. Just wanted to 404 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: know if you'd weigh in for a minute on the 405 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: Matthew Martin of January sixth, that prosecution he was acquitted 406 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: or this week, I just wanted you to tell us 407 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: about that. Can we just take a quick moment in 408 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: bask in some good news as far as the American 409 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: justice system this week, because we haven't had any in years. 410 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: And so Matthew Martin, charged with the foremost common misdemeanors 411 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: related to January sixth, He opted for a bench traub 412 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: before Trevor McFadden, who's a trumpet pointee and basically the 413 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: judge after Matthew Martin's testimony concluded that yes, he had 414 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: been waved into the building, but more than that, you 415 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: had for the first time a US Capitol Police official 416 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: testifying under oath that they indeed stood by and allowed 417 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: people into the building. They claimed they were overwhelmed, they 418 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: couldn't prevent them from coming in, so they just stood 419 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: by to make sure no one was hurt. This has 420 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:51,880 Speaker 1: huge consequences. In fact, defended today retracted his plea deal 421 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: on these same charges based on what happened in court 422 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: this week. So a sort of a game changer for 423 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: a lot of these cases. Yeah, quite an insurrection when 424 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill police are saying, right this way, go into 425 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: this go into this room please.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 450 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: We roll through the Friday edition of the program and Buck, 451 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: right now, I am looking by the way, We're gonna 452 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: talk with Alaska Senate candidate Kelly Chewbacca at one thirty. 453 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: She is running as the Republican candidate against what is 454 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: going to be I actually want to get into some 455 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: of the details of how Alaska is going to elect 456 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: a senator, because Alisa Murkowski is the current senator there. 457 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: But they do ranked choice voting in the Senate race, 458 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: and I'm actually intrigued to see how exactly that is 459 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: going to go. But right now, as I am talking 460 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: to you, Buck, I'm looking at updated murder rates all 461 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: over the country because crime has not declined in twenty 462 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: twenty two. And you and I I think we're both 463 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: prescient on this, where initially Democrats said, oh, well, you know, 464 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: the crime went up in twenty twenty because of the 465 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: pandemic and all the COVID related restrictions, when the reality 466 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 1: was Buck, it's skyrocketed in the wake of George Floyd, 467 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: in the BLM protest, in the demonization of all police 468 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,959 Speaker 1: officers across the country. But I just want to hit 469 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: you with some cities, many of these cities we are 470 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: on right now. So far this year, murder is up 471 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: twenty percent in Saint Louis over last year. Murder is 472 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: up and these are decent sized cities I'm trying to pick. 473 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: Murder is up twenty percent. In San Francisco, Murder is 474 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: up forty percent year to year. These are year to 475 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: year numbers in New Orleans, murder is up ninety two percent. 476 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: Buck in Milwaukee, where we are number one right now 477 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: in the audience, we appreciate everybody listening in Milwaukee, but 478 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: those are staggering numbers versus twenty twenty one, when, by 479 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: the way, the numbers were up pretty significant there as well. 480 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: Houston according to this data, where we are also number 481 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: one in the marketplace. Appreciate all you in Houston up 482 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: twenty one percent, Dallas up double digits, Cleveland up double digits, 483 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: Cincinnati up over thirty percent. Birmingham, Alabama, another city, were 484 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: number one, forty one percent increase in murder, Atlanta up 485 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: forty three percent. I mean, these are staggering numbers. Buck, 486 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: Baltimore up nearly double digits after it continues to skyrocket. 487 00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: These are big, massive increases, and the Democrats don't don't 488 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: have an answer for it. In fact, let's play this 489 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: audio because I do think it's just so emblematic of 490 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: the refusal to acknowledge the issue. And it is Jen 491 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: Saki here she is. Do you remember the four boxes 492 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: that we had on all the TV's, So right now, 493 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: just to give you a sense, so CNN Pentagon as 494 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: many as eighty five US troops on heightened alert. Okay, true. 495 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: Same on MSNBC. CNBC is doing their own thing about 496 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: the market. And then on Fox is Janine Pierro talking 497 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: about soft on crime consequences. I mean, what does that 498 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: even mean? Right? So there's an alternate universe on some coverage. 499 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: What's scary about it is a lot of people watch that. Yeah, 500 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: the alternate universe is the one that Jen Saki is 501 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: living in. Because let's just this was actually perfect. She 502 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,719 Speaker 1: looks at the left wing networks and compares them to Fox. 503 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: There what matters more to the day to day lives 504 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: and existence of the average American The elevated status of 505 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: some NATO troops overseas at one point in time, or 506 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: the possibility of being bludgeoned to death on the way 507 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: home from work by somebody who's been arrested fifty times 508 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: by the municipal or state authority where you live. Which 509 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: one is more likely to affect the American people listening 510 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: to this? How many more Americans are the victims of larceny, burglary, rape, murder, assault? 511 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: Go down the list of all the crimes and the 512 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: huge spike in them and the tens of thousands, the 513 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people that are suffering as a 514 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: result of the I'm not even talking about the normal 515 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: day to day crime that we've gotten used to in 516 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: this country that is already too high before the surge, Clay, 517 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the last almost two years. Now we 518 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: know it's not COVID. And here's what they won't do. 519 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: You know, they make it seem like it's also complicated. 520 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: All we need to have we need to come up 521 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: with some new strat geeze and community outreach. Step one, 522 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: lock up criminals. And this is the thing that they're 523 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: not willing to do. Lock up criminals. People who break 524 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: the law need to be taken off the streets and 525 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: serve time in prison. If you ask, it's actually an 526 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: even bigger problem. I'm here in New York City. The 527 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,719 Speaker 1: stats on crime in New York City, Clay in my 528 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: I live in Midtown, so I live right in the 529 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: middle of it, right Grand larceny is up seventy four 530 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: percent year over year. People, they're just stealing stuff all 531 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: over the place. My beloved scooter, although it did get replaced, 532 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 1: stolen in the blink of an eye, you know, and 533 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: you're lucky to still have your scarves. Oh man, well, 534 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: that's you know. I hide the fancy ones in my pocket. 535 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: I make sure that no one knows. But you know, 536 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: the reality here, Clay, is that they won't do the 537 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: most fundamental, the most obvious things to deal with the 538 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: problem because it goes against their ideology. So they come 539 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: up with all these other ex planations. Did you see 540 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: this just real quick in San Francisco. I just thought 541 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: this was amazing because you know, do you have these 542 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: libs who clearly they vote for Democrats and they you know, 543 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: they wanted their woke, but they also have to deal 544 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: with the reality sometimes. This is the CEO of Kraken, 545 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: Jesse Powell. He just wrote this email yesterday. We shut 546 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: down Kraken's global headquarters on Market Street in San Francisco 547 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: after numerous employees were attacked, harassed, and robbed on their 548 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: way to and from the office. Business partners were afraid 549 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: to visit after being victimized. Crime, mental illness, and drug 550 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: abuse are out of control in this city, which is 551 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: dramatically underreported because it's so common commonplace. The police are 552 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: known to arrest the same offenders dozens of times. Thanks 553 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: to the district Attorney's catch and release program CHESSI Budan, 554 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: which has resulted in numerous preventable murders of innocent No doubt, 555 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: this is what's happening in cities all across the country 556 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: where Democrats are in charge. Joe Biden maybe the only 557 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: thing he's ever been right on, Buck, nineteen ninety four 558 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: past the crime bill, and you can trace a substantial 559 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: decline in crime to this country to what happened in 560 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. And I keep saying this, but it's 561 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: so true. Being concerned about incarceration rates of criminals is 562 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: a luxury of a low crime environment. If you are 563 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: sitting around saying, man, we are being too difficult on 564 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: violent criminals, then what you are really saying is I 565 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: feel safe. And Buck, there are a lot of people 566 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: in big cities all over this country who don't feel 567 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: safe right now. And I always say, one way to 568 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: check and see whether your neighborhood is safe is by 569 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: the question that I would ask is how many women 570 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: feel comfortable going out for a jog or a walk 571 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: by themselves in the evening? Right It's a great test 572 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: of safety in any number of neighborhoods, Would your wife, 573 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: would your daughter, would your girlfriend feel comfortable going for 574 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: a jog in the neighborhood or not? And I would 575 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: submit to you that over the last four or five years, 576 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: the number of women who feel safe going out to 577 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: walk after dark, going for a jog some places even 578 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: during the day, that feel safe in their neighborhoods has 579 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: plummeted all over this country. And it's why to me, Buck, 580 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: You know, we talk about COVID and this needs to 581 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: be a reckoning in twenty twenty two as well. But 582 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: until there are consequences over crime, and I think it's 583 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: going to happen, you're already seeing it happened, Buck CHESSI 584 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: Buddan's getting recalled the same thing as happening in La, 585 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: where the das are being overwhelmingly rejected by was at Gascon. 586 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: I think in La who overwhelmingly was repudiated by other 587 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 1: das because of his soft darted crime policies. This is 588 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: happening everywhere, and there have to be consequences for these 589 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 1: das too, because their choice not to prosecute and their 590 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: choice not to hold people accountable for violating the law 591 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: is leading to tons of deaths that otherwise and then 592 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: we can't underrate. I believe the number of police shooting 593 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: deaths have skyrocketed so far this year again again, and 594 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: that is because we have so demonized police in this 595 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: country and it has real tangible consequential results in terms 596 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 1: of their safety on the streets. Look at the decisions 597 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 1: that have been made by Democrats over the last year, 598 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 1: but also just the policies they've been pushing in recent 599 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: years and the consequences of them. I mean, we're not 600 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: sitting here Clay talking about the marginal tax rate for 601 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: top earners being thirty seven or thirty nine percent. Look, people, 602 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: can you know we could agree to disagree what's going 603 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: to cause more growth? You know, on a lot of 604 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: foreign policy issues in general, I'd say you should be 605 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: able to have a conversation without getting overly testy when 606 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: people who kind of disagree, because it's very complicated and 607 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: it's multiple things going on, a lot of things to 608 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: we're talking about straight forward stuff. We want fewer people 609 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: on the streets clubbing old ladies with lead pipes and 610 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: stealing their handbags. Doesn't everyone agrees with what bage, but 611 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: but the Democrat apparatus pretends that that's not what's going on. 612 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: The Democrat apparatus tells us that they're reforming a racist 613 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: criminal justice system, or they're they're pushing for equity and 614 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: inclusion by doing more community outreach with police resources instead 615 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: of just protecting everybody. And as you and I always 616 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: talking about the communities that suffer the most from the 617 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: live decisions of people like Pelosi and AOC and Schumer, 618 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: they don't suffer. They live in fancy houses, they're they're millionaires, 619 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: they're doing security guards. Yes, it's it's the people that 620 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: they are pandering too in high crime communities by saying, oh, 621 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,879 Speaker 1: the cops aren't your friend. We're gonna make this all better. 622 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna have bail reform and criminal justice form, and 623 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 1: that's gonna make your community better. Those are lies, and 624 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: the people that they're pandering to with those lies are 625 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: being hurt. They're literally physically being hurt by those lies. 626 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: Numbers for you, Buck, This is from Sunday, so unfortunately 627 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: it may have increased since then. Police officers shot in 628 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: the line of duty through Sunday one hundred and one 629 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: of them, that is, and this is a staggering number. 630 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: A forty three percent increase from twenty twenty one. The 631 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: numbers have been skyrocketing in general. Buck twenty twenty one 632 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: was the highest rate of officers shootings in a generation. 633 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 1: So we now compared to twenty twenty one, are up 634 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: forty three percent on police officer shooting so far through 635 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: this year, through the first quarter, compared to the worst 636 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 1: year in a generation. I mean, this is real consequential 637 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: at the very essence of being safe in this country. 638 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: I hit you with the numbers on murders, but that 639 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: police officer number should be staggering, should be being asked 640 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 1: of so many different Democrat politicians across the country. And 641 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: you can just see Clay also from the beginning of 642 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: BLM two point zero, after George Floyd's killing in Minneapolis 643 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: and the BLM movement and the protests and the riots 644 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: and the Republicans all of a sudden on defense on 645 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: criminal Let's just be honest about it. The Trump administration 646 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: went on defense for a while there on criminal justice issues, 647 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: talking about doing criminal justice reform for about six weeks 648 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: or so, until the statues started to come down and 649 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: the riots started to go after federal court houses, and 650 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden I think there was a 651 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: snapping back into reality on the right. But you can 652 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: see that the spike in all these crimes we're talking 653 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: about started when the left went on offense with its 654 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: ideas about criminal justice across the board, for prosecutors, for police, 655 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: for judges, for everything. And they had already been putting 656 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: people in these places in these positions for years, but 657 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: then they felt the Chessibu Dans and the Larry Krasner's 658 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,279 Speaker 1: and others.

That's the headline up at Foxnews 705 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: dot Com Opinion right now. I wrote it last night 706 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 1: because I'm just furious about what's happening here. We've been 707 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: trying to update you about every step of this disaster 708 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: as it is unfolding. With the end of Title forty two, 709 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: but everything the Biden regime has done so far it 710 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 1: seemed like they want the border to be wide open. 711 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: They want there to be massive, massive inflows of illegal 712 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,360 Speaker 1: immigrants into this country. Somebody who knows this issue backwards 713 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: and forwards and was on the front lines of trying 714 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:22,760 Speaker 1: to secure the border during the Trump administration is Stephen Miller. 715 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: He was a former senior advisor to President Trump in 716 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,320 Speaker 1: the White House, and he's also the President of America 717 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 1: First Legal He joins us now, Steven, great to have 718 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: you back, great to be here. Thank you. So see, 719 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: but I've been talking to my border patrol sources this 720 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: week and checking in on the numbers as they stand 721 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: so far, as well as the projections from DHS. We're 722 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: staring at what feels like the immigration iceberg, so to speak, 723 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: and the Biden administration is yelling full speed ahead unprecedented 724 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: illegal immigration numbers a month away. What's going on here? Well, 725 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,240 Speaker 1: I often tell people that a run out of actors 726 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: that describe how that it already is. You know, when 727 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden came into office in January of two thousand 728 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 1: and twenty one, we were already within a few weeks 729 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: of him taking the oath of office in a full 730 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: blown border crisis. We all remember the images for that 731 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 1: hot minute when the media was actually covering it, and 732 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 1: then they realize, holy craft, this is terrible for Biden's 733 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,919 Speaker 1: pull numbers. We're not going to talk about it again 734 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 1: for a year. The situation since then has gotten unimaginably worse. 735 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 1: We've gone from four or five thousand apprehensions a day 736 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: to now eight thousand apprehensions a day, so we've doubled 737 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: what was true five alarm fire crisis levels. That's where 738 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,919 Speaker 1: we are now. So it's much worse than anything we've 739 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,840 Speaker 1: ever had before in American history, because twenty twenty one 740 00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: was the highest level since records have been kept. That's 741 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 1: your starting point, your baseline under Joe Biden is the 742 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: worst year in American history. So how do you even 743 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,120 Speaker 1: describe where we are right now? Not in May when 744 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: Title forty two is gone, Right now today, when we 745 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: were at eight thousand are hundreds a day plus two 746 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 1: thousand gataways that we know of a day, and by 747 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 1: no of I mean these are people bought a patrol 748 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: seas escape or they are able to deduce the size 749 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: of a group from a footprints or from a fence cut, 750 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: or from drone surveillance, etc. So that's ten thousand, and 751 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: then you have another group, which are the unknown gataways, 752 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 1: which of course by definition are unknown. So you're daily 753 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: numbers crossing exceed ten thousand a day right now. No 754 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 1: nation in history has experienced any legal immigration wave of 755 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: that size. Ever, you can't find any historical precedent for it. 756 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,399 Speaker 1: You can scour the history books your entire life. It's 757 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: now on top of that, they're saying, Okay, now let's 758 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: get rid of Title forty two, and we're going to 759 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 1: go from ten thousand to some unknowably larger number, at 760 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: which point in time you can get any of the 761 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 1: source in the world will be no attractives left to 762 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 1: describe how bad that is. Steven appreciate you joining us. 763 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: I'm reading Marco Rubio from this morning. He tweeted out, 764 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,280 Speaker 1: several Central American leaders have informed me traffickers are spreading 765 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,319 Speaker 1: the word Biden's going to allow anyone who crosses the 766 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,480 Speaker 1: border to stay if they file for asylum. A massive 767 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: illegal immigration surge is coming, and those who pushed to 768 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: end Title forty two are to blame. Okay, so let's 769 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: presume that this is true. Buck and I were discussing 770 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: this yesterday, Stephen, What could possibly be the goal of 771 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: the Biden administration in making this choice, given that their 772 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,319 Speaker 1: approval ratings are already total trash, They're staring at a 773 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,240 Speaker 1: red wave in the midterm election. What is their game plan? 774 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,480 Speaker 1: What are they gaining by this? Why are they doing it? Well? 775 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: If you look at several positions at the Democratic Party, 776 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 1: I would argue that this is the one that will 777 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:57,720 Speaker 1: have by far the most irreversible consequences for our country. 778 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 1: But you know, if you look at their paul on 779 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: crime as an example, you can look at their policies 780 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 1: on critical race theory as an example. They're all enormously 781 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: unpopular with normal human beings, really, including in the Democratic Party. Two. 782 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 1: So the question, of course becomes why. I think the 783 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 1: answer to that is that Democrats are interested, and have 784 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 1: always been interested in long term structural power, and so 785 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 1: they're willing to sacrifice short term pain for long term gain. 786 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,080 Speaker 1: First of all, I think they've already written off by it, 787 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 1: and I'm not the first person to say this. I 788 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 1: don't think they think he's going to be the nominee, 789 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,839 Speaker 1: and I don't think that they think that if by 790 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,919 Speaker 1: some miracle he were to become the nominee that he'll 791 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: be in the Oval office five years from now. So 792 00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 1: they're playing the long game here, and they know look 793 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 1: at California, that large scale, uninterrupted illegal immigration and by 794 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: the way, nothing that we have today you can compare 795 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 1: us to what was happening in eighties or nineties. I 796 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 1: so much worse today that it's California times ten. But 797 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 1: you look at California. This was the state that went 798 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 1: for Nickson, win for Ivan howerwin for Reagan, went for 799 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,360 Speaker 1: hw and eighty eight basically one of the most conservative 800 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:11,319 Speaker 1: states in the whole country. Beautiful, beautiful weather and wildly conservative. 801 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 1: Basically paradise. Now look at California, so they understand that 802 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: they are setting the stage for a long term democratic governance. 803 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Stephen Miller. He is the president of 804 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: America First Legal and a former senior advisor to President 805 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Stephen, are you seeing indicators Because some of 806 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 1: the people that I know and work with, who really 807 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 1: dig into the minutia of DHS rules and regulations and 808 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,360 Speaker 1: how the bureaucracy functions, they're already saying that one of 809 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,839 Speaker 1: the plans here is going to be to make it 810 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: easier for illegal Once Title forty two goes, they're going 811 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,400 Speaker 1: to streamline the process so that we won't see fifteen 812 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 1: or twenty thousand person you know, camp site so to speak, 813 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 1: or grouping by the border the way we did months ago. 814 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: It'll just be invisible, largely because there'll be so many 815 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,160 Speaker 1: people going in and immediately being led into the country 816 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: with either a notice to appear or an alternative to 817 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: detention policy, which just means essentially the honor system. Is 818 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: that even is that possible? I mean, can the bureaucracy 819 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:19,720 Speaker 1: do that and get away with it? If the Biden 820 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 1: regime says that's what they want, it is possible, and 821 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: it's indeed the plan, and you're very wise for mentioning it. 822 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: So since the beginning of the Biden administration, their entire 823 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: strategy for dealing with the mass migration that they invited 824 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,960 Speaker 1: has been to accelerate its entry. Right hence the secret 825 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,800 Speaker 1: flights that we've all seen cover on Fox News and elsewhere. 826 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: So when they add bodies to the border, when they 827 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 1: add more personnel to the border, when they add more 828 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 1: facilities to the border, it's not for the purpose of repatriation. 829 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 1: I e. Deportation. It's for the purpose of getting people 830 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: here illegally and more quickly inside the country. And so 831 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,040 Speaker 1: if you member going again back to when we had 832 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 1: those images early on people overflowing bordercultural facilities, their solution 833 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: to that was not to get people back home, which 834 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: would have made the whole problem go away in a 835 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: few weeks. Their solution was to line up more transportation 836 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: to get those people more quickly to their city of 837 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 1: choice inside the United States. So that is going to 838 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 1: be their sole, an entire strategy for the tsunami legal 839 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 1: immigration that is coming and building and growing. And to 840 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: your point about asylum, and this is especially insidious. So 841 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: we know that these are not asylum seekers. Everybody understands this. 842 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 1: These are overwhelmingly economic migrants. And then there's also, of 843 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 1: course a portion of criminals, a portion of drug traffickers, 844 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 1: a portion of sex traffickers, etc. But that's your grouping. 845 00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 1: These are not people that are with rare exceptions there 846 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 1: would mean any recognized definition of asylum. But if you 847 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,320 Speaker 1: change the regulations which they're doing to make it easier 848 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 1: for someone to get a asylum and to allow them 849 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,919 Speaker 1: to get that benefit, far more quickly. You're minting new 850 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,480 Speaker 1: citizens at the border when you're granted asylum. I don't 851 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,280 Speaker 1: know if many people realize this. That doesn't mean, oh, 852 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 1: you get to live here. No, no no, no. Asylum is 853 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: a six year path to American citizenship. Once you're granted asylum, 854 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: you're immediately eligible for all federal benefits in the country. 855 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 1: Within a year of granting asylum, you're eligible for a 856 00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 1: United States Green Car, which makes you a full permanent resident. 857 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 1: Five years after that, you can become a United States citizen. 858 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 1: So the goal here is to create any legal alien 859 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 1: to citizen pipeline. Stephen, you mentioned that you don't think 860 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 1: Biden will be the nominee, and that some element of 861 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 1: this is about the long game, not about any time 862 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 1: any current political calculus. Necessarily who's the nominee for the 863 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,239 Speaker 1: Democratic Party in your mind if you had to place 864 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,760 Speaker 1: a bet right now in twenty twenty four. I don't 865 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: think that they know, which is part of the reason 866 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: why they are so panicky right now. I don't think 867 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 1: that they know because logic would say that it would 868 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: have to be the vice president Kamala Harris, who has 869 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,239 Speaker 1: arguably had the worst debut as a vice president since 870 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,000 Speaker 1: anyone who's been keeping track of these things, she's the 871 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 1: only person who has somehow managed to be even less 872 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 1: articulate than Joe Biden. But if you were to say 873 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,440 Speaker 1: you're go beyond Biden, you go beyond Harris, and you 874 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: look more broadly, I could see a situation where they 875 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: take a hard look, for example, at Gavin Newsom. Now, 876 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,320 Speaker 1: you and I, if we were, you know, advising somebody 877 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 1: running against Gavin Newsom, we could come up with a 878 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 1: list of, you know, five hundred lines of attack. But 879 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,439 Speaker 1: I think for them they would always the next place 880 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,359 Speaker 1: they would go would be, Okay, who are who are 881 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: the governors of large Democrat states? But I don't think 882 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 1: they know who their nominee is going to be? Right now? 883 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: Do you think Hillary might be the nominee? I think 884 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,880 Speaker 1: she would like to be. I'm sure whatever she may 885 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 1: say publicly in her heart and I'm sure that she 886 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,919 Speaker 1: would like it. And there's still obviously a pretty strong 887 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,280 Speaker 1: Clinton faction in the party. I don't think that faction 888 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:10,240 Speaker 1: is strong enough to overcome the AOC wing of the party. 889 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 1: I could be wrong. Obviously, Obviously in Biden they want 890 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 1: with a throwback turned out that he's the most radical 891 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 1: leftist president in the history of this country. But I 892 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,120 Speaker 1: don't know if they'll be able to do another throwback 893 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:29,399 Speaker 1: candidate again. Do you think immigration Stephen could be an 894 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 1: essential component of, as we're calling it, the election reckoning 895 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 1: that we hope happens in twenty twenty two. If the 896 00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 1: American people know about it, is it high enough on 897 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,439 Speaker 1: the radar, does it get enough attention that this could 898 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: be a critical piece of really delivering a stinging rebuke 899 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,359 Speaker 1: to the Democrat leftists? I would belie even further than that. 900 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 1: I would say it's indispensable. It's not only something that 901 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: can give us a massive majority. I think that if 902 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,759 Speaker 1: we want to win the size of a majority, that 903 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,399 Speaker 1: we're going to need to repair the damage that's been 904 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 1: done over the last year plus you know, will be 905 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,319 Speaker 1: two years by then. We have to put this as 906 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 1: a central issue before voters. That's what gets you from 907 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:16,880 Speaker 1: a modest Republican majority to a historically large Republican majority. 908 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: And here's the other trip with this. The reason why 909 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: Democrats have gotten the way in the past with illegal immigration. 910 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 1: Of course, again what's happening now has no comparison in history, 911 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,879 Speaker 1: is because Republicans haven't played the populist card against it, 912 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:34,439 Speaker 1: So their hope is that they can keep their their 913 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,399 Speaker 1: share of the vote amongst Latino voters and amongst other 914 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,560 Speaker 1: immigrant voting blocks while then continue to have large slow 915 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,279 Speaker 1: legal immigration and Republicans will just sort of do the 916 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,279 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan of oh Well work for this too well. 917 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:50,600 Speaker 1: Elegal immigration is great if you actually go to minority 918 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,840 Speaker 1: communities and immigrant communities and you say Democrats are destroying 919 00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,480 Speaker 1: your economic prospects. They're destroying your schools, they're destroying your healthcare, 920 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,239 Speaker 1: your safety, they're drugs in your communities. They do not 921 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,800 Speaker 1: see you as equal citizens, but your ponds in their game. 922 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,239 Speaker 1: You can make huge gains in those communities, and that's 923 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,160 Speaker 1: when you're a wipeout territory in the midterms. That's where 924 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: we need to be. Stephen Miller, everybody America first Legal 925 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:21,640 Speaker 1: He's the president formerly adviser to President Trump.

So we had to 960 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 1: play this audio. Actually, the conversation continued through the break, 961 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,680 Speaker 1: as it often does all this Disney, I don't even 962 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,000 Speaker 1: know what you would call it, like sort of ritualized 963 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: humiliation of their CEO with all of these crazy different 964 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: terms that we don't even know being tossed out. So 965 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:32,040 Speaker 1: this is Disney. Executive producer LaToya Ravino said that she 966 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:37,320 Speaker 1: is a bi romantic, a sexual. That's how she defines herself. 967 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:42,840 Speaker 1: Listen to this as she discusses the challenges at Disney 968 00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 1: of being a bi romantic a sexual. I identify as 969 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,160 Speaker 1: like a bi romantic a sexual. I've had a lot 970 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 1: of learning and growing about myself this year, kind of 971 00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,360 Speaker 1: facilitated by how comfortable I felt on the Proud Family 972 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,160 Speaker 1: and with my media team at Disney TVA. And so 973 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,760 Speaker 1: it's just sort of this creative dissonance between my personal 974 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: experience where I feel so safe and so supported. I 975 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 1: mean like I wasn't like in the closet, but like 976 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm real out now. I want to use my content 977 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 1: to like go deeper, like talk about how non monolithic 978 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,280 Speaker 1: the LGBTQ plus community as an asexual ass an a sexual. 979 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 1: Like it's just like I feel like a lot of 980 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 1: people don't know what that is. I have to like 981 00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:22,759 Speaker 1: have a dissertation ready at any given time.
