4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: We go through this cycle over and over again. There

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: was a mass shooting, and immediately there's an effort to

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: try to use this to try to exploit the crisis

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: for political points. I can't tell you how many people

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: I had already just in my own world of social

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: media and trying to share thoughts and opinions. I was

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: referring to Governor Christine Nomes transgender bill in South Dakota,

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: and I had all these comments about how why won't

12
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: you talk about the quote Trump supporter? End quote? They

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: would say, who just engaged in a mass shooting? The

14
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: white supremacist Trump supporter that engaged in a mass shooting.

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: There was no evidence whatsoever to support that that was

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: what happened. There was none when this was being said

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: last night, and yet they went with it anyway. They

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: decided that it was too useful in this moment of

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: heightened emotions and sense of crisis to bash political opponents

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: who weren't even talking necessarily about this awful incident. And

21
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: this is what you see people that leverage the Internet

22
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: for their own power. That you social media as a weapon,

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: and unfortunately the social media companies themselves are increasingly a

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: political weapon. They use this to silence those ideas groups,

25
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: those individuals who they view as outside of the mainstream

26
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: or somehow opposed to the dominant democrat consensus. But you

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: can do something about this. When you anonymize your connection,

28
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: you can serve the Internet freely without wondering who's going

29
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: to get a hold of your search history or your

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: viewing habits, or what they'll do with that information. Because

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: what they have now, who knows what it will be

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: in five years, how much more they're going to go.

33
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: You know, China has a social credit system in place

34
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: that makes determinations about you based upon what you do online,

35
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: what apartment you can rent or house you can buy,

36
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: and all sorts of information down to the very granular.

37
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: We have even better technology here if it's turned against us,

38
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: So take technology into your hands to take action against this.

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: That's what you can do with Express VPN. When you

00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: a link, you know that the big tech companies can

42
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,960

53
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: A horrific mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado at a grocery store,

54
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: and what do they do right away? What do they

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: decide must happen? Politicization? We can't even wait for the

56
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: basic facts to come out. We can't even know the

57
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: person's name. And already I can tell you last night,

58
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: all over the place, there were charges flying about how

59
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: this must be a white supremacist, it must be a

60
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: Trump supporter. Maybe it was somebody from the Capitol Hill riot.

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: The stuff that was being said and shared, including from

62
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: people who work in media and are supposed to have

63
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: some ethics supposed to have some standards. Was appalling. And

64
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: now today we find out more information and we can

65
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: see that the people who were or jump to conclusions,

66
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: they don't care. It doesn't matter. It felt good for

67
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: them in the initial stages to bludgeon their political opponents

68
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: for something that has nothing to do with them. It

69
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: was gratifying for leftists to use this tragedy as an

70
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to push their agenda. And we keep going through this.

71
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: It stretches back years. It stretches back to the Obama administration,

72
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: to Sandy Hook, to terrible incidents mass shootings before that,

73
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: to Columbined and we come to the same Democrat claims

74
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: that are rooted in emotion and demonizing people who are

75
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: lawful gun owners who believe in the Second Amendment to

76
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: advance a political agenda. Eventually, they don't win. Usually they

77
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: back off of this issue because people learn that what

78
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: they're recommending would not have prevented the incident at hand,

79
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: and in fact, would do very little, if anything, to

80
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: help anyone when it comes to gun violence. But ultimately,

81
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: this is about the underlying philosophy of Democrats wanting to

82
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: disarm you, all of you everyone. They do not believe

83
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: that individuals should be able to own weapons in defense

84
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: of themselves and as a defense against tyranny from the state.

85
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: They do not believe in it, and everything that they

86
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: say other than that is just incrementalism to that same end,

87
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: trying to take guns out of the hands of people

88
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: who are law abiding and who do nothing wrong, not

89
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: only with those fires, nothing wrong in general. But first

90
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: let's get to the facts as we know them, the

91
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: details of this case. This is the Bolder police Chief

92
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: Maris Harold earlier today play nineteen forty pm on Monday,

93
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: regarding the suspect. At approximately to forty pm on Monday

94
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,239
Speaker 1: March twenty, officers were dispatched to King's Supers on Tablemasa Drive.

95
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: Officers arrived on the scene within minutes and immediately entered

96
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 1: the store and engaged the suspect. There was this exchange

97
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: of gunfire which such best was shot. No other officers

98
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: were injured. The suspect was taken into custody at three

99
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: twenty eight pm. He was transported to the hospital for treatment.

100
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: Now in stable condition. This suspect has been identified as

101
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: a mod ALYSSA twenty one of our Vada. He has

102
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: been charged with ten counts of murder in the first

103
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: degree and will be shortly transported the bull to County jail.

104
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Ten counts of murder in the first degree. Is this

105
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: an act of terror? I saw people insisting that it

106
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: was before we knew anything about the shooter. I saw

107
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: Democrats leaping on this as an opportunity to push an

108
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: agenda that this is somehow tied to Trump everything that

109
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: is awful. These people are mentally, absolutely committed to the

110
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: notion that anything that is awful and terrible and bad

111
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: can be put on Donald Trump. He's the ultimate boogeyman,

112
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: and they won't let it go. It has nothing to

113
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: do with Trump, and no intelligent, honest person would say otherwise.

114
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: But they were It's all over the internet last night,

115
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: all of the commentariat, you know, the commentators on the left.

116
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: That's what they were saying. That's what they were telling people.

117
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: And we now know that the individual Ahmad, I've seen

118
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: it said and spelled two different ways, but his first

119
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: name is Ahmad. There's a good chance that what they're

120
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: saying is Alyssa may be an alternative spelling, but it's

121
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: Ahmad al Issa. We don't know anything about this man

122
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: about his mental health as I speak to you now,

123
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: and this is going to be rapidly evolving and changing.

124
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna learn about the social media footprint, We're gonna

125
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: learn about what his neighbors and friends and all those

126
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: things are going to I'm in. But one thing you

127
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: have to understand is that the people that try to

128
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: exploit this before they know anything, who sees upon emotion,

129
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: who call the NRA a terrorist organization that was done yesterday,

130
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: who say the NRA should be treated like a crime

131
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: family ordering murders, and the people that say this insane

132
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: stuff when the facts actually come out, if the facts

133
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: largely or entirely contradict the initial narrative, They're not sorry,

134
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: They're not even embarrassed. That's the point. This is about

135
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: the exercise of raw power. This is about exploiting emotions.

136
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: This is about getting people angry at the other so

137
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: that you can get the angry people to do and

138
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: believe what you want them to the same way I've

139
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: told people that you have to have a different a

140
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: different understanding of hypocrisy. The left does not care about

141
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: being hypocritical. They have power. They use it when they

142
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: can enforce different standards, they will just like all autocrats,

143
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: just like all dictatorial regimes, they don't shy away from this.

144
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: They don't view it as a problem. They don't care.

145
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: They just do it because they can, because they get

146
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: away with it. The same thing is true about the

147
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: immediate exploitation of a mass shooting like this. They view

148
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,479
Speaker 1: it as an opportunity for a political agenda and also

149
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: to exercise some of their disdain for the other side,

150
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: use it as an excuse to scream abuse at people

151
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: who they disagree with politically on other things that have

152
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the actual shooting itself. So they're

153
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: not sorry about this. They don't view this as a

154
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: moment where they should be more honest or they should

155
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: do some introspection. No, when a MSNBC watching New York

156
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Times reading lib screams at you online and says, see

157
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: another white supremacist Trump supporter shot up a bunch of

158
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: people in Boulder, Colorado, and there's no evidence to support that,

159
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: and we don't have any reasonable connection between between these

160
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: things based on the facts at hand. And then even

161
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: when they're proven to be untrue, they don't care because

162
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: they enjoyed disparaging you. They enjoyed that those moments in

163
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: time when they felt really righteous, really virtuous for trashing you,

164
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: for trashing the millions and millions of Americans who own

165
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: firearms legally across the country and who are a bulwark

166
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: against tyranny and let me say, a tyranny from the

167
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: government that we increasingly should take very seriously. Okay, freedom

168
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,239
Speaker 1: is at the lowest ebb in this country in my lifetime.

169
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: That's a fact, worse than it was after nine eleven.

170
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: Some of the overreaches and some of the you know,

171
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: the government actions there, at least domestically, I'm talking about internally,

172
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: the worst place freedom has been in my lifetime. So

173
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: that's going on forty years, and the Democrats are set

174
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: on doing everything that can while they can to make

175
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: sure that you do not have the right to bear arms.

176
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: They're going as far on this as they possibly can,

177
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: as far as they can get away with it. This

178
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: is why I get so frustrated, because the people that

179
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: have been that spent four years calling for a need

180
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: for greater honesty from let's say, Donald Trump, they come

181
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: into office, the Biden administration, it's just lies all over

182
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: the place, constantly lying to you, lying about their intentions.

183
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: Lying about the numbers at the border. Oh, we'll get

184
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: into that. Lying about a lot of things, things that

185
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: matter to you, okay. Not not lying about a crowd

186
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: eyes or the size of one's hands, or lying of

187
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, all the things that they were they were

188
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: completely apoplectic about in the media when Trump was president.

189
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: Not lying about irrelevancies, not lying about you know, personal

190
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: peccadillos or whatever. No lying about policy in ways that

191
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: affect your life. This is central to what the Democrats do.

192
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: It's central to their whole approach. And we go through this,

193
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: and I heard that Senator Ted Cruz talking about it

194
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: the same thing every time. The n RA is a

195
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: terrorist organization. You know, they trot out some some victims

196
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: of other shootings or people who were near victims of

197
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: other shootings, you know, hog and others, and they try

198
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: to get somebody deep platform who defends a Second Amendment.

199
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: They try to scare some Republican members of Congress into

200
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: abandoning the Second Amendment. And this is the push pull

201
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: every time. Doesn't matter that the policies they proposed wouldn't

202
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: actually make anyone safe or doesn't matter. It's about control

203
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: and about them getting their way deal with it. That's

204
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: what they really think here, Senator chat Cruise talking about

205
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: exactly at this play twenty one and every time there's

206
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater where this committee

207
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: gets together and proposes a bunch of laws that would

208
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: do nothing to stop these murders. Senator from Connecticut just

209
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 1: said the folks on the other side of the aisle

210
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: have no solutions. While the Senator from Connecticut knows that

211
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: is false, and he knows that's false because Senator Grassley

212
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: and I together introduce legislation Grassley Cruse targeted at violent criminals,

213
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: targeted at felon's, targeted at fugitives, targeted at those with

214
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: serious mental disease, to stop them from getting firearms, to

215
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: put them in prison when they try to illegally buy guns.

216
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: What happens in this committee after every mass shooting is

217
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Democrats proposed taking away guns from law abiding citizens because

218
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: that's their political objective. But what they propose not only

219
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: does it not reduce, it makes it worse. It makes

220
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: it worse. Here's another point I want to make for

221
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: all of you. A lot of them know that, and

222
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: they don't care. This is about control, This is about power.

223
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: People are upset, they're scared, they're emotional. Democrats see those things,

224
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: They recognize those realities, and it's an opportunity for them.

225
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: You know, in the Congresses you mentioned the House of

226
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: Representatives last week, for the second time, we've passed two

227
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: important initial pieces on gun violence prevention. The problem is

228
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: in the Senate, even with the majority, a slim majority,

229
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: because of the filibuster, it's going to be very, very

230
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: difficult to get anything done. You know, the filibuster to

231
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: many of us is a tool and instrument for government gridlock.

232
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: And we need action, and we need it right away.

233
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: So what are you calling for today, Well, we need

234
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: to do away with the filibuster. You know that. What's

235
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: what's what we're seeing happening in America is Republicans in

236
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: the Senate are more interested in eroding voting laws and

237
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: increasing gun rights when you know, it really should be

238
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: the other way around. We need to look at making

239
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: sure that we have safe communities and that people aren't

240
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: afraid and terrified of going to the grocery store or

241
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: going to a school. And the majority of Americans support

242
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: common sense gun violence prevention legislation. But we can't get

243
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: anything done in the Senate because a majority doesn't rule.

244
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: It's the filibuster that rules. Oh look at that. It's

245
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: so convenient, isn't it. You know, the Democrats want to

246
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster. They want to steamroll the Republicans.

247
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: They're looking for any opportunity to do this, and sure enough,

248
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: this mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado is yet another another excuse,

249
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: another attempt to dramatically change the way the United States

250
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: Senate operates. Remember they use the filibuster against Republicans on

251
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Then it was fine, then it was important.

252
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,479
Speaker 1: It was the system, you see, it was our sacred institutions.

253
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: What do I keep telling you? This is about the

254
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: raw exercise of power. Right, when I am weak, I

255
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: ask for freedom because it is according to your principles.

256
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: When I am strong, I demand obedience because it is

257
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: according to my principles. That's how the Democrats do politics

258
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: all the time. So this notion that there are rules

259
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: that we can expect them to abide by if they

260
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: can get away with breaking them, there are principles that

261
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: we share with them that they won't abandon it. The

262
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: first sign of it being inconvenient, You won't you might

263
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: want to drop that entirely. They just don't have the

264
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: ability to do some of these things. That's what stops them.

265
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: They don't have the actual raw power. They know that

266
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: the backlash would be too much for them. But here

267
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: we are at Think of all the reasons they've given

268
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: so far, and I'm talking about members of Congress, those

269
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: who are involved in the process. Think of all the

270
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: different ways that they've said to us, we need to

271
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster. They've said it's because in

272
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: favor of HR one, for changing elections dramatically federalizing elections

273
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: and getting rid of essentially all elections. Safeguards DC statehood.

274
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: That's another big one. We got to get to DC statehood.

275
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: They get rid of the filibuster for amnesty. Of course,

276
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: that's I think the most likely place they'll do it. Ambassy. Now,

277
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: let's get rid of the filibuster for gun control. Anything

278
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: Democrats want to do, you'll notice, is a justification for

279
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: getting rid of the filibuster if Republicans won't go along.

280
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: What was one of the favorite lines of Obama for

281
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: his eight years as president, The Republicans are obstructing which

282
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: was just a fancy way of saying Republicans won't do

283
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: what I say, and that's bad. No, you can disagree,

284
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: you can try to persuade, but the other political party

285
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: not just not just conceding, not just deciding that they

286
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: no longer stand for anything. That's not the expectation that

287
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: anyone should have in this country. But this is where

288
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: we are. But understand this too. The emotionally driven Democrat

289
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: party is going to use the emotions of this moment

290
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: where people are very upsets, very saddening. I know, the

291
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: police officer was killed in the Boulder shooting at the

292
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: grocery store, and you know he had seven kids. You

293
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: had nine other people just going to get groceries killed,

294
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: two in the parking lot, eight inside. It's it's horrible,

295
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: it's absolutely terrible. And yet instead of seeing this for

296
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: what it is and waiting to learn whether there even

297
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: is a law that you could pass. I mean, it's

298
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: illegal to murder people, it's illegal to go into a

299
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: store with a gun, it's illegal. There's a lot of

300
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: things that I'm sure we're illegal here. But the impulse

301
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: to pass a law from the authoritarian Democrat mindset isn't

302
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: really so much to protect us. It's to add to

303
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: their own power, because they're smart enough to figure out

304
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: this isn't actually the laws. They talk about a background

305
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: check system, for example, that's what they say now here.

306
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: Here's the Colorado AG. Colorado unfortunately has a lot of

307
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: very left wing people in high office. Play five. We

308
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: in Colorado have a background check law, but if people

309
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: go to surrounding states, they can get a weapon without

310
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: having a background check. That is a common sense measure

311
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: that's supported by overwhelming majorities. The fact that we didn't

312
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: get such a law after prior mass shootings is hard

313
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: to understand. We need a federal law. I know that

314
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: our members of Commerce from Colorado have run on this issue,

315
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: are committed to this issue. We need a national background

316
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: check law because otherwise people can go to surrounding states

317
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: and get a weapon without having to go through a

318
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: background check. Which makes sense, get a weapon without having

319
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: to go through a background check. They really want to

320
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: pass this national background check law universal background checks, which

321
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: would mean that for any private transfer you would have

322
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: to go to a federal a federal federally licensed dealer.

323
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: Would also mean in some versions of the bill that

324
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: even if you were to lend a shotgun, let's say,

325
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: to a friend to go hunt it for the weekend,

326
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: you got to you got to go to a licensed

327
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: firearms dealer first to run the background check system. Who

328
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: thinks this is really going to stop crime? Somebody who

329
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: wants to be a mass murderer or a mass shooter,

330
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: First of all, a lot of the time they would

331
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: pass a background check, which we know has also happens

332
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: that kind of all, they're willing to either steal or

333
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: illegally get a firearm. And it's not hard to do

334
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: with over three hundred million firearms in circulation already in

335
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: the United States. Not difficult. So what does this really do?

336
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: Ninety nine percent of people are just going to be

337
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: you know who go through this changed bill situation, are

338
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: just going to be harassed. Doesn't stop anyone who's bad

339
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: from doing anything bad. Well, remember that what happened was

340
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: that President Trump spent four years dismantling the process in

341
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: presidents or President Trump spent four years dismantling the peaceful,

342
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: orderly process of allowing people to apply for asylum. For example,

343
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: he cut funding to the Northern Triangle countries. Here, he

344
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: cut funding and shut down offices where immigrants could actually

345
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: apply for asylum and their home countries without coming to

346
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: the border. And so, you know, I'm very confident that

347
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: President Biden is doing everything that he can. But frankly,

348
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: he's cleaning up a mess that was left here there

349
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: by President Trump and his systematic and inhumane attacks on

350
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: the immigration system. Blah blah blah. Just a bunch of nonsense,

351
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: Just a bunch of nonsense, Senator Duckworth. There are many

352
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: many others who were saying the same stuff. This is babel, Okay,

353
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: we all know what's happening here, but they're just trying

354
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: they're trying to convince you that the southern border, which

355
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: is in crisis, which is looking like it's going to

356
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 1: have more illegal migrants crossing than what you had in

357
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: the during the Obama crisis and the Trump crisis combined,

358
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: the worst the border has been in twenty years, according

359
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: to people I know who devote their lives to immigration

360
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: issues and trying to secure our border. And they're telling

361
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: you that this is Trump's fault because he dismantled the

362
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: orderly process. It wasn't an orderly process. Senator Duckworth, trying

363
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 1: to debate this. I would love you. You know what,

364
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: Let's let we'll put it out there. She can come

365
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: on the show. We can debate this. How orderly the

366
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: process was. I was down there at the border. I

367
00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: saw how orderly the asylum process was. It was dozens,

368
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: if not hundreds of people at a time showing up,

369
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: waving down border patrol and then gaming the system and

370
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: staying in the country and not showing up for immigration hearings.

371
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: And even if they do show up, they probably get

372
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: to stay anyway. All you have to do is get

373
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: into the country. That's the whole game. Get out of custody,

374
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: get into the country, and you're home free. We know it,

375
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: we've been through it, we've seen it. But they pretend

376
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: this system was working well before. That's the part of

377
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: this that to me is just it's so obviously false.

378
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: But they don't care. I know, not everyone gets to spend,

379
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: you know, or should spend. And I don't recommend this.

380
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: Hours and hours a day reading all this stuff. I

381
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: have to do that. That's my job. So when I

382
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: see this, it's amazing to me because in my head

383
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, nobody who understands what has been happening at

384
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: the southern border for the last ten years, never mind

385
00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: the last three or four years. Would ever say that

386
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: it was an orderly process that Trump destroyed. That's a

387
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: laughably stupid statement. I mean, it really screams ignorance of

388
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: what's going on. But it's actually worse than ignorance, because

389
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: I think it's it's malicious. It's lies. She's lying to

390
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: you about this, or rather giving you an assessment of

391
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: the situation that is so fundamentally flawed that the best

392
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: you can say for it is she is doing this

393
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: on purpose for political reasons. Protecting good old Joe Biden

394
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: is what this is really all about. We're two months

395
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: into the presidency, and what do you get. Open borders

396
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: Joe right away. Open borders Joe. They can do whatever

397
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: they want, They can say whatever they want about this,

398
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: to try to confuse things, to try to make you

399
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: think that that's not what's really going on. Joe Biden

400
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: is the cause of this crisis. And to say that

401
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: this is orderly is just a huge lie. Another part

402
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: of this that I want to get to, you had

403
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: majorca speaking of the lies around this. You had Mayorcas,

404
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: who's the DHS chief, go on TV over the weekend,

405
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: did the Sunday shows. We played a bunch of the

406
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: clips for you yesterday from this and MAJORCA said, we're

407
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: turning families away, and that, to me, that's such a

408
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: classically disingenuous lie. And the initial reporting that I had

409
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: heard or that I had read was that it was

410
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: about sixty percent that were being led into United States

411
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: family units now, which is what most of the surge is.

412
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: It's the surge is family units and unaccompanied miners. There

413
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: is not a huge surge of single adult males coming

414
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: to the border. It's family units and unaccompanied miners. That's

415
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: what's driving this giant increase in the numbers. Why is

416
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: that Because they know the system and they're exploiting seems

417
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: cracks in our system, and they're in some cases, you know,

418
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: selling custody of their children to the They're selling their

419
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: children into the hands of the cartels, entrusting the cartels

420
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: to get into the border. There's this awful, awful statistics.

421
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: There are awful statistics about the amount of sexual abuse

422
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: that the children suffer. Because this is a long journey

423
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: to go from Honduras to the US Mexico border. They're

424
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: not hopping on a flight and getting out after a

425
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: couple of hours. I mean they're traveling overland. So this

426
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: journey with that the caravans go through, for example, from Honduras,

427
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: from Guatemala, from El Salvador, this takes weeks. And yet

428
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: they tell us, may Orcus tells us that families are

429
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: being turned away. And I said, the initial figure you'll

430
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: remember if you listen to go back and check me yesterday,

431
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: I said, and the Axios figure that that had initially

432
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: been been used is um was was over sixty percent.

433
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: I spoke to uh Art Arthur yesterday, the Center for

434
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: Immigration Studies, and we talked to him. He said, he

435
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: said he had also read that the figure was this.

436
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: He's an immigration expert. The figure was over sixty percent

437
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: of families. And I kept asking him. I kept saying

438
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: to him in that interview, well, why is it only

439
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: sixty Why is it? That doesn't make sense to me.

440
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: There's there's no way that even though that's a lot, right,

441
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good your odds are pretty good. Sixty percent.

442
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: You get to stay in America forever, and and remember

443
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: you get expelled, you can just come back. Because this

444
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: Biden administration is not gonna have a problem. He just

445
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: try it again, So you know your odds are really

446
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: good if you come twice. But I said to you,

447
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't I don't believe. And I was talking on

448
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: the first TV yesterday about this with Art Arthur. I said,

449
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: I and I just have a hard time believing that

450
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: forty percent of families are getting turned away. Know on

451
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: what grounds? Well, guess what amember I told you yesterday. Also,

452
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: I said, they say it's in the sixties, I believe

453
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: it's more like seventy or eighty. You can, it'd be fun.

454
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: Go back. If you're listening on radio, you can go

455
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: back and listen to the Buck Sexton podcast. It's on

456
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: the iHeart app. It's in the podcast Apple podcast store.

457
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Go back and listen to the first part of the

458
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: show where I talk about this. Because I said, they

459
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: say it's over sixty, I bet it's more like eighty.

460
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: Guess what comes out today Axios story. According to Byron

461
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: York here, the Biden administration in the last week expelled

462
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: thirteen percent of migrant families in the past week. So

463
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: when Mayorcas goes on TV and says we are expelling families,

464
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: the reason he leaves out the number, which was a

465
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: huge tale. It's very obvious what's going on here to

466
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: anybody who understands these Democrats and how they play the

467
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: game is eighty seven percent of families are staying in

468
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: the United States. Let into the US, and they're home free.

469
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: This is the cause of the crisis. Eighty seven percent

470
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: of families in the last week. One hundred percent really

471
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: of children. I mean maybe it's ninety nine percent, but

472
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: unaccompanied miners are led in the United States. That's an

473
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: open border, folks. That's as much an open border as

474
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: anybody's ever seen anywhere really in the modern world, when

475
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: we have some border enforcement. I mean, this is crazy.

476
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: Eighty seven percent of families get to stay, the whole

477
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: family unit. This adds up. This makes sense. This I believe.

478
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: I didn't believe that sixty was high, but not that high.

479
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, eighty seven percent. That sounds about right. Your

480
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: odds are almost nine out of ten. Then if you

481
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 1: get to the border, you're a family unit, or you're

482
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: claiming to be a family unit, you're going to be

483
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: released the American interior. That's a really good deal for

484
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: people who want to skip the immigration line and come

485
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: into a country that as rule of law, you know,

486
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: not a lot of corruption. You know, the police aren't

487
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: going to kidnap you and murder you here without incident.

488
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: That stuff happens in Central America. That stuff happens in Mexico. Okay,

489
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: we all know it. We have a better school system,

490
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: better healthcare system. But the people who are arriving, we're

491
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: supposed to have an immigration system for the benefit of America,

492
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: and you are supposed to be able to ask in

493
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: a you know, other countries have merit based immigration systems.

494
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: They give people points, they say, Okay, here's what we think,

495
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: and it's like an admissions process for a college. Well,

496
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: is that and is that inherently racist? Is that wrong?

497
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: Is that bad? Because Canada has one, Australia has one.

498
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: Now those countries also have asylum and refugee programs. But

499
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: this is not really going through the asylum refugee program.

500
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: This is abusing it, and it's dramatically expanding the numbers

501
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: of what we would expect. But that's really what you

502
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: need to know. Majorcas goes on TV and says to you,

503
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: looks the American people through a camera in the eyes

504
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: all across the country and says we are expelling families

505
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: at the border. That's what he said, right, Nine out

506
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: of ten families they're letting right into the US within

507
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: seventy two hours. Does anybody think that this crisis is

508
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: going to go away? Does anybody really think that this

509
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: is going to change anytime soon? No. The reason the

510
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: Democrats are frazzled right now, the reason the Biden administration

511
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: is on defense is because we're actually seeing what's going on.

512
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: We are aware of the situation and the circumstances right

513
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: now because the facilities are overwhelmed, and it's hard to

514
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: hide that. Their challenge isn't isn't there really about what

515
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: the long term implications of this kind of migration are.

516
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: Because they're fun with that. Their problem is Hold on

517
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: a second. If people figure this out when we're telling

518
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: them what to do about immigration down the line, will

519
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: they believe us when we want amnesty? Will they believe

520
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: Democrats when they say they'll be increased enforcement at the border.

521
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: How can you trust anything? DHS Secretary Mayorker says on

522
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: behalf of the bid administration when he makes the highly

523
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: misleading claim that they're turning families away at the border.

524
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: Dot dot dot. Yeah, a few thirteen percent of them

525
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: the last week. The rest of the business of being

526
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: in the Senate basically was just you know, put aside.

527
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: And I think we need to bring back a real

528
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: legislative process. If you thought you had to actually stand

529
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: up and vote on something, you'd actually work to get

530
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: an amendment to change it, as opposed to saying I

531
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: don't even have to think about it. I'm just going

532
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: to show up and I'm going to be part of

533
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: a filibuster that doesn't inspire cooperation. It just keeps people

534
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: in their separate camps. So I think it's going to

535
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: take a little bit of change in order to get

536
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: to where people have to work together. And surprisingly, in

537
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: my own mind, I think, you know, getting rid of

538
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: the filibuster will actually have that result. See totally normal change.

539
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: A process that, when there are Democrats in charge, or

540
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: rather when there are Republicans in charge, is absolutely sacred

541
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: to our institutions and is necessary for defending the rights

542
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: of political the political minority from majoritaryan tyranny and all

543
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: that stuff. And then oh my gosh, democrats are in

544
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: charge and all of a sudden, it's whoa, let's let's

545
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: let's cooperate more. This is like their unity claim Remember

546
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: what the unity claims were like when Biden came into office.

547
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: Unify with us or else better. You better like this

548
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: unity that we're going to enforce upon you, or we're

549
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: coming after you. That was the way it was done.

550
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: That was what they were saying. There was no reaching

551
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: across the aisle to try to find common ground. It

552
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: was the ground that you will find is our ground.

553
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: That's the left. There's no common ground. You want her

554
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: to be common Come where we are and do what

555
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: we tell you. That's reaching across the They're gonna reach

556
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: across the aisle to pull you to their side and

557
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: make you obey. And Hillary, how wow, she's back. Hillary's

558
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: there just to tell you exactly that you know now

559
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: now it's oh, yeah, we should just get rid of

560
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: the filibuster so that Democrats here's what they know. Democrats

561
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: believe and they're there. This is pretty widespread among them

562
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: that they can get or if they can get to

563
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: a place where they get rid of the filibuster and

564
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: they just run the table on legislation. I mean, they

565
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: steamroll the Republicans for the next two years roughly that

566
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: it's it's worth it to them because they can enact

567
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: structural changes that will offset any backlash from their authoritarian madness. Right.

568
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, people might say, wow, Democrats are really going

569
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: for broke here, They're really running rough shot. They're using

570
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: the steamroller approach to the political opposition and even changing

571
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: the rules of the game as they're playing it, which

572
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: is what eliminating the filibuster now is all about. But

573
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: the Democrat calculation here, I think people need to understand

574
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: this is, well, if they get HR one, and if

575
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: they get amnesty, and if they get gun control, and

576
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: if they get you go down this list, if they

577
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: get DC statehood, it's worth it. Whatever backlash they're concerned

578
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: about receiving from the other side is worth it. They

579
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: should just accept it. They should just handle it because

580
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: they'll win over the long term. These are structural changes

581
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: to our politics. That's what they're trying to accomplish. That

582
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: they make it so we're in a different political environment

583
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: in this country going forward, not just for an election,

584
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: for all elections. That's the whole point. And Rashida to Leave,

585
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: for example, is out there saying that anyone who opposes

586
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: DC statehood, which is just stacking two Senate votes, among

587
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: other things, stacking two Senate votes in the Democrat column.

588
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: That's why they want it. She's very upset about this

589
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: play fifteen In opposing DC statehood, which is overwhelmingly supported

590
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: by the people of Washington. These representatives and their dark

591
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: money backers over the Heritage Foundation, that's right, are telling

592
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: over seven hundred thousand Americans to sit down, shut up,

593
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: and enjoy this all authoritarian system implemented by a bunch

594
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: of elites who thought it was okay to enslave people

595
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: for their selfish monetary game hundreds of years ago. It

596
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: is shameful that anyone would claim to support democracy and

597
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: freedom and oppose statehood, That anyone would support democracy and

598
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: freedom and oppose statehood here. So when the constitution is

599
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 1: an argument that Democrats have in their favor on some issue,

600
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: which is rare. But when they when they think they

601
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: can make a constitutional argument, it's our sacred democracy in

602
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: our institutions. When, as is the case here, the founding

603
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: fathers explicitly made clear that DC statehood was not the intent,

604
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: and this is addressed in the Federalist papers. This is

605
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: addressed in our founding during our founding by the great

606
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: minds that were behind our system of government. Then it's oh,

607
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: they're a bunch of former slave owners and we can't. Well,

608
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: who cares what they had to say, Let's make DC

609
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: a state. The principle at work. Whatever democrats want is justified.

610
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: There is no principle. Whatever they want to do, that's

611
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: what they should do. If it enhances their power, if

612
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: they get their way, justify it. After the factor, we

613
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: don't even justify it at all. Just do it. Just

614
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: cram it down the other sides wrote and tell them

615
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: to deal with it. This is the this is the

616
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: Biden approach on a whole range of issues and just

617
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: getting started. What is the latest and what should we

618
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: take from this shooting in Boulder, Colorado, The politics around this,

619
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: and the way that it's already being used by Democrats

620
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: who see this as an opportunity to push an agenda

621
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: while also not caring what the fact that many of

622
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: them jump to conclusions right away on this one and

623
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: we're incorrect. Our friend Kurt Schlichter is with us now

624
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: senior columnists at townhall dot com. Army veteran lawyer and

625
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: guy who knows some things. Mister Schlichter, Good to have

626
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: you back, Good to be here. Buckets. Kind of a

627
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: sad day, but I think it's important that we talk

628
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 1: about this stuff. I think it is too because I

629
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: was trying to shed some light on the Christy Gnome nonsense.

630
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: And I'll talk to you about that too last night

631
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,959
Speaker 1: on social media because I thought she had an abominable

632
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: showing on Tucker Carlson's Carlson. We'll get to that. We'll

633
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 1: get to that in a moment. But I say something

634
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: about that. I didn't even I hadn't even said anything

635
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: about the shooting, and Bolt hadn't read about it and

636
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: know about it. I just was following the stories that

637
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: I was following, and I have all these people saying, yeah,

638
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you should actually spend some time thinking

639
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: about the white supremacist Trump supporter that just shot a

640
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: bunch of people in Boulder, Colorado, as if that in

641
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: any way attached to what I was talking about, which

642
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,839
Speaker 1: is transgender sports in South Dakota. But anyway, that's just

643
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: the way this seems to go. Now we find out

644
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: the guy's name is Ahmad al Issa, and he frequently posted,

645
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: according to journalist Andy No, on social media about Islamophobia

646
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 1: and depression of him because of his devout Islamic faith.

647
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that this goes in the white supremacist

648
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: Trump supporter category, Kurt, I think it's safe to say

649
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,919
Speaker 1: that we should wait until more facts are in. Well,

650
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, if this was a good faith argument instead

651
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: of a blatant power grab and a lie, I would

652
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: agree with you. But of course it's beyond the point.

653
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: It's not even close to the point. Truth is just

654
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: a bourgeois concept, a buck. It doesn't matter. Now. I

655
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: want to be really clear here. A lot of conservatives

656
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: are pointing out the hypocrisy and the lies that have

657
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: been used against them, but this is not We are

658
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: not doing the same thing they are doing. We are

659
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: not blaming all Muslims because this one particular idiot went

660
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: out and did something horrific for which I hope he hangs.

661
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: We are pointing out that the narrative that the left

662
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: attempts to make is a lie. It's an attempt to

663
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: grab power. It doesn't rely on facts, it relies on

664
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: blatant dishonesty, and it is immune to reason. So I

665
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: don't believe in reasoning with them. I believe in mocking them,

666
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: and that's what we're doing. And you know, I think

667
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: normal people we're seeing it. Buck. I think normal people

668
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: are going, yeah, well, they've lied to me again and

669
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 1: again and again, and this is just the latest one.

670
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that this NonStop barage of lies helps

671
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: people wake up. And I see the initial Democrat leadership

672
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: response to this in Congress and you know, the Democrat media,

673
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: and it's all the it's all the stuff that we

674
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: always say, Oh, this, this needs to be the grounds

675
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: for pushing a national, national universal background check, or this

676
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: this shows that you know, Donald Trump's rhetoric, or either

677
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: they do all these things and there's no accountability for

678
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: this now. I mean, no one apologizes, no one cares.

679
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: You know, we learned up. Maybe this guy passed a

680
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: background check. Maybe he actually went in and you know,

681
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: and and actually sat down and bought a gun legally

682
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: through the process, but people didn't know that he was

683
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: a psychopathic, murderous lunatic, and so he managed to buy

684
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: a gun. But they're still saying, oh, background checks, right,

685
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 1: And if it turns out that I'm right in my prediction,

686
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that this guy probably got this gun legally,

687
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: they're still gonna say there needs to be a background

688
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: check system. So you say, well, if the incident is

689
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 1: not the reason for this new push, why are you

690
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: tying the incident to the political push for background checks

691
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: in the first place. And I think we know the answer,

692
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: but it's worth pointing out for everybody. Well, look, it's

693
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: a fact free environment. Look, we're not going to reason

694
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: our way to convince these people of anything because they're

695
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 1: not trying to be reasonable. They're trying to exercise power.

696
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: They're trying exercise power by disenfranchising us and disarming us.

697
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 1: They at the same time they want to defund the police,

698
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 1: which is just amazing. The idea that the solution to

699
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 1: terrorist violence is to make ourselves more vulnerable to terrorist

700
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: violence by disarming us is insane. If you're being reasonable,

701
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: if your purpose is to create a nation of serfs,

702
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: then it is a terrific, terrific idea to proceed this

703
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: way because they want us vulnerable, they want us scared,

704
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: they want us unable to defend our liberty and our lives.

705
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: That's what they want. How do I know, because that's

706
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: what they tell me on social media. This isn't a fantasy.

707
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: I'm not drawing conclusions. I'm simply repeating what I hear

708
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: directed against me and other people on social media. They

709
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: like this. They like the idea of us being afraid

710
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: and cowering. Look at what's happened over the last year.

711
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 1: This whole COVID thing would be blocked inside and terrified.

712
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: This gives them more power, and they like it. I

713
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: think that. And we're speaking of Kurt Schlichter. He's a

714
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: senior columnist at townhall dot com, army veteran lawyer. I think,

715
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: Kurt that now more than ever, I've been saying this

716
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: to people, the idea of the Second Amendment as a

717
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: as a check on government tyranny should be taken very

718
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's something that should ever have not been

719
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 1: taken seriously, but it should be more apparent to us

720
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: why that need exists when you have the government, as

721
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: we've seen for the last twelve months, telling you that

722
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: you cannot go to church, that they will they will.

723
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: Actually they were in some parts of the country they

724
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: were threatening to arrest you if you gathered with more

725
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: than five family members in your own home, that they

726
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: will arrest you if you try to open your business

727
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, for the crime of wanting to serve food

728
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: to people that are looking to buy it from you,

729
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 1: that they will take away your freedom, they will destroy

730
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 1: your business because a bunch of little lab coat tyrants,

731
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: because little Fauci, the fascist says. So that should be

732
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: a wake up call to everybody. And I mean that.

733
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean this government. This government locked people away in

734
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 1: nursing homes and then filled nursing homes with people with

735
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: COVID in places like New York and New Jersey and

736
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: now we're seeing Michigan. And if you had a problem

737
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: with that, if you were trying to protest against it,

738
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: they were willing to lock you up in jail. That's

739
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: the actual government you're dealing with. An armed citizenry is

740
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: a d to preventing tyranny. However, I mean, it is

741
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: a backstop. It's not had to be new. I guess

742
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: you could arguably say they used once or twice in

743
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: very very small incidents like Athens, Tennessee. We are so

744
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: far now. The fact that we are so far away

745
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: from having to use armed violence to protect our rights

746
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: is not to say that that could never happen, that

747
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: that needs to be there as a final backstop. But Buck,

748
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: We've got a whole bunch of other things. We can still,

749
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 1: at least at least outside of big blue cities, elect

750
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: representatives who support our interests. We can still appeal to

751
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: the court sometimes will get a fair hearing. All we

752
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: can still speak our mind. Sometimes there are still things

753
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: that we can do and we should be doing. However,

754
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: none of that, The mere fact that we are not

755
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: completely oppressed by net right now does not eliminate the

756
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: fact that that could happen down the road. I believe

757
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: that every healthy, law abiding American adult who is willing

758
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 1: to bear arms because there's some people are consciousential sly

759
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: object to it, should be armed and ready to defend themselves,

760
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: their family, their community, and their constitution if necessary. I

761
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: lived through the La riots. I saw what happened when

762
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: order broke down. It's not a hypothetical. I had some

763
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: I had some live from some website. You talk about these,

764
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: these these collapses of society, and they never seem to happen. Well,

765
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: I spent three weeks in the streets in Los Angeles

766
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: with an M sixteen. It happens. It's not common. But

767
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: all I can say is an American who was carrying

768
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 1: in that supermarket yesterday might have been able to stop it. Yes,

769
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: I know an armed police who was shot and killed

770
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:52,399
Speaker 1: and several others were wounded. The carrying weapons is not

771
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: a one percent guarantee that you will always be victorious

772
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 1: over a criminal, terrorist, or other violent scumbag, but it

773
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: does give you a fighting chance. And I believe every

774
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: American should do two things. Every American should be able

775
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: to lawfully use violence in the rare, rare occasions it's

776
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 1: necessary to defend life and liberty. And I believe every

777
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 1: American should be trained and keep themselves proficient on basic

778
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: life saving techniques. That is our job as citizens, you know,

779
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: buckets like we've given over so much of what it

780
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: means to be an American citizen to other people. We've

781
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: outsourced it to a police, or the EMTs, or the

782
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: teachers or somebody else. But democracy is hard work. Freedom

783
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: is hard work. As citizens, we have to be able

784
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,919
Speaker 1: to stand up and take a personal stand. And that's

785
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: why I believe that every American should have the right

786
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: to keep in bear arms and then includes carrying a

787
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: concealed or open weapon in order to lawfully be able

788
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: to enforce the law and protect the defenseless. We're speaking

789
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: of kirschlichteror Townhall dot com senior columnist and a former

790
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: well he's still a lawyer actually, and an United States

791
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: Army vetter. And yeah, I guess you're a lawyer for life. Kurt.

792
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: Let's let's switch. Let's let's put your lawyer hat on

793
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: here for a moment. To what happened with Christy Nome

794
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: last night. I've been critical of her on social media

795
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: before the Tucker interview. She went on the Tucker Interview

796
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: to say, you know, to say her her side of things.

797
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: I will also point out that the comparisons with Governor

798
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis of Florida, I think have always been overblown.

799
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: Florida is the fourth largest state in I'm sorry, the

800
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: third largest state actually in the country, and has major

801
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: cities like Miami and Tampa and others. South Dakota, lovely place,

802
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: lovely people, has the population less than the population of

803
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: San Jose, California, and has an actual population density that's

804
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 1: right along what you'd expect in an island chain in

805
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: the South Pacific. Now, I know a lot of South

806
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: Dakota's love that that's very different. For the purposes of

807
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: dealing with COVID than what you have in Florida. Okay,

808
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: so put that aside for a second. I think people

809
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: were way too Oh she's so great, she's withstanding the pressure.

810
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: It's an entirely read state, and you know there's there's

811
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 1: eleven people every mile or something, which is totally different.

812
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: Would you get in other places? All right? On this

813
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: transgender bill, which would protect transgender which would protect women

814
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: from competing against transgender males and sports, she claims that

815
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: this is because she can't win a lawsuit against the

816
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: NC double A. That's why she did it. What do

817
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: you make of that claim? Because she she sent it

818
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: back for style revisions or whatever it's called. Right, she

819
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 1: sent it back down, wouldn't sign it. What do you

820
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: make of this? I think she I think she has

821
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: blown it. I think she has completely screwed this up.

822
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: I think she's destroyed her chances. Now, you and I

823
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: were both at Seapack. I don't know if you met her.

824
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: I met her when she walked through the bar, got

825
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: my picture with her, tiny little thing. I looked like

826
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: incredible bulk next to her, But I was unimpressed. I

827
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: always I don't know, I you know, I was willing

828
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: to give her a hearing. And I understand it's a

829
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: small state. Uh. Maybe she had some good ideas, but

830
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 1: she made no connection with the activists who were hanging

831
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: out there, and she seemed distinctly uncomfortable with people who

832
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: were you know, ideological. Uh. There's been a lot of

833
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: hype about her. I think, Uh, she has shown here

834
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 1: that she will roll over under pressure. This idea about well,

835
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: i'd lose a lawsuit, Well, how do you know? How

836
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: do you know what the lawsuit is? Uh? And and

837
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: are you telling me it's not worth fighting for that?

838
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: We just just oh, well, it's gonna be hard. We

839
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 1: should give in. Sorry. I don't need that as a president.

840
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,720
Speaker 1: I don't need that at all. I think she really

841
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: messed herself up. Uh. And I think it's going to

842
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: take a lot for her to come back and fix it.

843
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: You know, if this bill was terrible, why was she

844
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: not working with the Republicans to fix it before? Or

845
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: what I've said, I mean, this is sometimes you know

846
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: the answer without even getting that deep into the details here, Kurt,

847
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: Because there's no way that you just figured out in

848
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: the last few days that there was this big problem

849
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: of lawsuits men. I mean it's laughable. Anybody believes that

850
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: is being put on. I mean they're being they're being fooled. Well,

851
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: it's like saying, yeah, I mean competent, but in a

852
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,239
Speaker 1: different way because I can't work with my own you know,

853
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: deep bread legislature to get the laws passed that I want.

854
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: That's that's her argument. That's why it's better. I found

855
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: her appearance on Tucker overly rehearsed. Uh smarty too. I

856
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 1: thought she was smartie, and I don't think Tucker was

857
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: being unfair to her. Yeah, No, it was totally descending.

858
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: I thought Tucker was actually very easy on her. I

859
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: thought he let her talk and talk and talk. I mean,

860
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: I don't expect him to be a cross examiner. You know,

861
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: he brings a guest on. They should say what they want,

862
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: he should ask tough questions, which he did. I was

863
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: distinctly unimpressed. And I think she uh, I think she

864
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: believes we're stupid. I think she thinks that we are

865
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: stupid and we're going to take another chap. I've got

866
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: an article on town Hall coming out on her on Thursday,

867
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: and it's not going to be pretty. I'm I'm greatly disappointed.

868
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: But I'm glad too. I'm glad that we found this

869
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,879
Speaker 1: out now instead of being disappointed after we elected her. Look,

870
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 1: people don't understand why we like Donald Trump. It wasn't

871
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: the TV show. We don't watch that crap. It wasn't

872
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 1: because he was a nudeological conservative. He was not. It

873
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: wasn't because of his mean tweets. Okay, maybe a little

874
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: about his mean tweets. It was because he stood behind

875
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,720
Speaker 1: us and did what he said he was going to do.

876
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: She said, I'm going to sign this bill, and then

877
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 1: she changed her mind. Then she folded under pressure to

878
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: Nancy as Amazon, Chambert Commerce corporate interests. You know, she

879
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: wants to be in tight with them. I think you

880
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: can all see what happened here. I think I look.

881
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: I hope that people realize. I hope people realize who

882
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: she really is as a politician. I don't know. It's

883
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: not personal. I don't care, but this is not This

884
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: is not the leader we need. We got to leave

885
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: it there, Kurt, But check out Kurt's column at townhall

886
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: dot com. Mister Schleector, thank you so much, sir, thanks

887
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: for having me. I don't know if you could really

888
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: hear it that clearly, but I wanted you to hear it.

889
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 1: There's Governor Cuomo to a supporter saying, I'm not going anywhere, Darling.

890
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not. I'm not. I think calling

891
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: someone darling like that is that's fine. I mean, I'm

892
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: not one of those people that gets upset about that stuff.

893
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: My point here is he's not going anywhere, folks. My

894
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: inclination all along, you know he has with Steward at

895
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 1: this point. You see what happens is that is that

896
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: the allegations there was there was the surge of allegations

897
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: against him, and really some of the first were the

898
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: most the most serious, the most credible. And then recently

899
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: they've started to get a little more. Oh I heard

900
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: he did a thing to some other person, or he

901
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: said something that I didn't really like, but it wasn't

902
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: really over the line that they've they've lost a little

903
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: bit of of punch with the more read I'm just

904
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 1: saying with the more morere recent allegations have not been

905
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: as as as you know, intense, and he's also because

906
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 1: of all this, and it's almost I don't want to

907
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 1: pretend that this is some plot from the beginning or

908
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: anything else. But it's almost like this was meant to

909
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: save his his governorship because I said, ah, along, the

910
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 1: bigger problem was that Governor Cuomo failed miserably and catastrophically

911
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: on the issue of the nursing homes. And that was

912
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: that's obvious. Now, that's that's the worst thing that he did.

913
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: But because when those revelations were coming out, I know

914
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: there's still ongoing investigations, but there was this focus of

915
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: the sexual harassment stuff, and the Democrats all said we

916
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: think he should not all of them, but a lot

917
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: of Democrats that we think he should resign. But they

918
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. This guy manages to just stay where

919
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: he is, the governor of New York manages to just

920
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: stay put for another month or two. He's going to

921
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: be fine. He's going to keep his job. It's it's appalling,

922
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: but it's also kind of amazing. You know, you sit here,

923
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: do you think, hold on a second, that's not the

924
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 1: way this should go. That's not how this should happen.

925
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: But wow, this guy is shameless and ruthless and durable

926
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: in a way that defies any sense of psychological normalcy.

927
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy just he is the governor and

928
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: always will be in his mind, and there's no changing that.

929
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: And the allegations against him, as true as they all seem,

930
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 1: and the nursing home disaster, as clear as that now,

931
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: is not enough to get rid of Governor Cuomo. President

932
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,279
Speaker 1: Trump back in action. Haven't really heard much from him

933
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 1: in a little while. Now he's starting to call into shows,

934
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: He's doing podcasts now. Trump is emerging from a period

935
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: of regrouping, taking a little time to play some golf,

936
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,760
Speaker 1: see some folks after he had been president for four years.

937
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: But this is the beginning I think of a Trump

938
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:31,839
Speaker 1: led opposition to this Biden and Democrat insanity. Right, this

939
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 1: is what I've been expecting for some time. Who will

940
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 1: be kingmaker? They've said, is it going to be Trump?

941
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: Because that's a role that he seems very suited to.

942
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: I believe the answer is yes. I'm not sure the

943
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: President's going to run again. No one's sure other than

944
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: maybe the president, I'm sorry, the former president himself number

945
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: forty five, Donald Trump. But there's a lot that he

946
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 1: can do and I believe will do to be helpful

947
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: before that. Other than that, And one of the things

948
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: is that he's saying he's going to come back in

949
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: a few months now. This is through one of his

950
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: former senior advisors. He's going to come back with his

951
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 1: own social media platform. That is a fascinating possibility, and

952
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 1: it's a necessary one because we know all about the

953
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: censorship that's going on these days, and social media sites

954
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: are openly suppressing points of view that involve being a

955
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 1: Trump supporter, question lockdowns. I've dealt with this myself. They

956
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: pretended to be open platforms. They're not. They act like

957
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: the op ed section of the New York Times. So

958
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 1: instead of letting social media sites revoke your right to

959
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: free speech, how about revoking their right to your data. Now,

960
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: you could just deactivate all of your social media accounts,

961
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: but that would be giving the left what they want instead.

962
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 1: I use Express VPN. When you use Express VPN, it's

963
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: so easy. Just download the app to your phone, very straightforward.

00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:54,080

00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: IP address. That makes your activity more difficult to trace

966
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: and sell to advertisers and Express VP and couldn't be

967
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: easier to set up. You just tap one button on

00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: your phone or computer and you're protected. Express VPN also

969

Speaker 1: encrypts one percent of your data to protect you from

970
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,479
Speaker 1: hackers and internet bad guys. It's finally time to say

00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:16,360

976
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: So let's hear from President Trump, who is back in

977
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: action play clip one. In order to accomplish the Green

978
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: New Deal nonsense. They're destroying it with Woke. When Shina

979
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: looks at Woke and they see the biggest problem we

980
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: have is doctor Seuss. In the meantime, they're building factories

981
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: and trying to kill us in so many different ways.

982
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: They laugh at us, they think we're so frankly, they

983
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: think our country is when they look at this, when

984
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: our competitors look at what's going on in our country,

985
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 1: taking down the statues to great heroes and so many

986
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: other things. Now I do it because I want to

987
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: do what's right, and they are destroying our country. And

988
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: the President knows this. Biden administration is just not up

989
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: for the challenge of China, not at all. I think

990
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: it's very clear at this point that they they simply

991
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: have not been They are not prepared for this. They're

992
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: not able to deal with China, and that that really

993
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: came across in the exchange that then Tony blink In,

994
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State, had up in Alaska with China,

995
00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: where China said, you know, you're just not speaking to

996
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: us from a position of strength. You're going to see

997
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: more of that. You're gonna see more disrespect from the

998
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: Chinese government, from the Chinese Communist Party against this Biden

999
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: administration because Biden in the foo les around him don't

1000
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: see the world for what it really is. They don't

1001
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: understand human nature. They are they're utopianists. They believe that

1002
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 1: if only the government was in charge of more, everything

1003
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,640
Speaker 1: would be so much better. It might even be perfect.

1004
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 1: You've just got to hand everything over to the government

1005
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: and the right people in charge of the government. That's

1006
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: absolutely essential. But the inward problems, the inward looking problems

1007
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: in this country, the fractures of our culture, our history,

1008
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 1: or politics, that are all getting so much focused right now.

1009
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: It does nothing except weak in the country. When we

1010
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: disparage our shared history, when we have these kinds of divisions.

1011
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: We don't actually, we don't benefit in any way. There

1012
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: are people in this country who benefit because it helps

1013
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: them acquire and utilize more power. That's what happens. That

1014
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: is the reality of the circumstances of we find ourselves

1015
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: in with this wokeness, this absurd notion that if we

1016
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: have an ever evolving and hypersensitive political correctness at the

1017
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: heart of American culture, politics, and thought, it's gonna make

1018
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: this country better, it's gonna make us stronger. No, it

1019
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: just has some people tearing us down from the inside,

1020
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, from within the American family broadly speaking, and

1021
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: China is a beneficiary of this. We have a war

1022
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,680
Speaker 1: on merits in this country underway. We have a war

1023
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 1: on objective truth underway in this country. Relativism, collectivism. These

1024
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: are ideas that arose the very foundations of the American experiment,

1025
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: and the people that control some of the commanding heights

1026
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: of our republic, the people that actually run the major institutions,

1027
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: not only of government, but of public health as we've seen,

1028
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: and of our corporations, major corporations, social media, certainly the

1029
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: news media. They are devotees of these ideas. They really

1030
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: believe in all of this, and it's very damaging. I mean,

1031
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: it's very concerning for the immediate future of this country.

1032
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's a problem right now. It's only going

1033
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: to become a bigger problem in time. And you know,

1034
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 1: Trump is seeing that this is he's correct when he's

1035
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: identifying that this is effectively a left wing administration with

1036
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: a pseudomoderate at the head. But the decisions that they're

1037
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: making across the board, there's no moderation, there's no let's

1038
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: do things in a way that Republicans can get on

1039
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: board with because it's just objectively good for the country.

1040
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, really really try. I want you to think

1041
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: about that what has been because if you say, oh, well,

1042
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: the COVID bill, Yeah, the Republicans wanted COVID relief too.

1043
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: They didn't want a two trillion dollar bill that had

1044
01:02:57,600 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: a lot of money that had nothing to do with

1045
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 1: COVID relief, so that the problem wasn't the area the

1046
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: areas of that bill that actually had to do with

1047
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 1: helping people because of the COVID pandemic. The problem was

1048
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Democrats wanted to use it as a grab bag of

1049
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: goodies to hand out to their special interests and their

1050
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: own you know, their own political base. That was the

1051
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 1: point of all that. And so Trump is right when

1052
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: he talks about this administration. I think people were, We're

1053
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 1: really encouraged to hear from the former president this way,

1054
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: and this is a voice that we need more. We

1055
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 1: need more of this in our politics right now. We

1056
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: need more of this somebody who's just going to speak

1057
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: the truth and let it fly. That's one of the

1058
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: things I miss about Trump. It was so refreshing to

1059
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: have somebody with a big platform and tens of millions

1060
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 1: of supporters who would say the fake news media or

1061
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: a bunch of frauds and jerks, and then they would

1062
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: scream and shout, no, he's he's destroying the country, is

1063
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: a fascist and was all wise, and what he was

1064
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: saying was true, and he would stand and say it again,

1065
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 1: and he would not bend the knee on those issues.

1066
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it was It was a wonderful thing, and

1067
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 1: I already miss it. But that same voice would be

1068
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 1: good to have now telling the American people that what's

1069
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: going on here with this Biden administration is incredibly left wing.

1070
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Here he is Play three, take a look at what's

1071
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: coming up and I predicted it all. Now I must

1072
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: say I never thought that Biden, and it's not Biden,

1073
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: it's other people that are, you know, putting stuff in front.

1074
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: But I never thought that. I never thought that Biden

1075
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: in a million years, would be worse nobody did, would

1076
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: be far worse than Bernie Sanders. This is Bernie Sanders

1077
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: on steroids. This is what he's doing with all and

1078
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 1: that you haven't seen anything yet. So the Second Amendment

1079
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: is going to be obliterated and there's no stopping him

1080
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: and our le leadership Mitch isn't strong enough to stop people.

1081
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Never was. It's like one of the big secrets. But

1082
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,120
Speaker 1: he had the majority. But now that he's not in

1083
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 1: the majority, he's not doing his thing. He's not doing

1084
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: what he should be doing. Now. Bernie Sanders, i think,

1085
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 1: to be fair, would have been a little bit worse

1086
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: than Biden on some issues. But here's the difference. I think.

1087
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: I think the assessment that it's worse to have Biden

1088
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: pushing a left wing agenda than Bernie Sanders pushing it

1089
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: is true. And here's why. Bernie Sanders is honest about

1090
01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 1: who he is and what he believes. Now that doesn't

1091
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 1: mean that these are good ideas, doesn't mean they wouldn't

1092
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: be catastrophic, obviously. But he says I'm a democratic socialist.

1093
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 1: He says I don't like rich people, even though I

1094
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: am one. Bernie Sanders, I'm not, but Bernie Sanders is.

1095
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: He says he doesn't like rich people. He says he

1096
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: wants Wall Street to pay more in taxes and everyone

1097
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: else to pay more in taxes who are high earners.

1098
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: And he wants free this and free that, free healthcare,

1099
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: free college tuition. You know, he wants college college debt

1100
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: to be forgiven. He wants all these things. With Biden,

1101
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 1: what you have is somebody who pretends to be a

1102
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 1: moderate elder statesman. With Biden, would you have as somebody

1103
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: who pretends that he's a uniter, who's reasonable, who's, you know,

1104
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 1: this sort of grandfatherly figure to the country, but who's

1105
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: pushing about eighty percent of what you get from Bernie Sanders.

1106
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really resonate with the American people the

1107
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: same way. Oh, this is what left wing politics means.

1108
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: This is, you know, the disaster at our southern border.

1109
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: And let me also say, I think Bernie Sanders is

1110
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 1: better than Biden on immigration issues, which the Sandernistas would

1111
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: hate to hear this, but it's true because at least

1112
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders one is honest about the fact that he

1113
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: wants a pathway to citizenship for everybody and always has been,

1114
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: and wants amnesty and doesn't pretend that he wants any

1115
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: of that, any of that to change. But also he

1116
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: thinks that there are problems with continued illegal immigration for

1117
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 1: workers and wages. You know, he was He's a little

1118
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: different on the issue immigration than Joe Biden was. Joe

1119
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: Biden's whatever the Democrat Party wants at any point in time.

1120
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: The places where you had some crossover with Bernie Sanders

1121
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 1: and Trump even were on trade and on workers wages

1122
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: and immigration. Illegal immigration does affect workers' wages. So it's

1123
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: a complicated picture, but I think that it would be

1124
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: I wish that the election choice had been Bernie Sanders

1125
01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: versus Donald Trump. Instead, there's this I think that what

1126
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: we have is a fundamentally dishonest choice, or we had

1127
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 1: a fundamentally dishonest choice because Joe Biden pretends to be

1128
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 1: something other than that which he is. Oh, and speaking

1129
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: of how things are going at the border, here's Trump

1130
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: on well, here's Trump on how the media just constantly

1131
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 1: protects him. Play for Yeah, you don't have the same

1132
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: people in there. I mean, you might have the same people,

1133
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: but it's a whole different it's a whole different set

1134
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: of questions. It's ridiculous, the questions that are asking, you know,

1135
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: what did you have for dinner? What kind of ice

1136
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: cream do you have? As he walks out, they don't.

1137
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: They never talk to me that way. And that's okay.

1138
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: I had a lot of press conferences. I enjoyed press

1139
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:25,640
Speaker 1: conferences because you get the word out. It's the only

1140
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 1: way to get an honest word out because the press

1141
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 1: is really not a free press. The press is not

1142
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 1: a free press in our country. Okay, So the way

1143
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 1: you get the press out is with press conferences. Now

1144
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't need him because the press protects him totally.

1145
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: It's totally true. The press protects Joe Biden. And it's

1146
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: despicable because it's dishonest. You know, I don't hammer people

1147
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: in the media who say that they are they are

1148
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: Biden supporters and and that they they're honest about that.

1149
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: I hammer people who claim to be journalists who are

1150
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 1: obviously Biden supporters and who are lying to your face

1151
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: about it all the time. Now, I know Biden's supposed

1152
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: to have a press conference on Thursday, He's gonna do

1153
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: what he normally does. I'll do the whole you know,

1154
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: here am Joe Biden. Um, I'm here to bring the

1155
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 1: country together. And we're gonna listen to the science and

1156
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: shot and where's my blankee? You know? I mean that's

1157
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: that's what. We know what it's gonna sound. We know

1158
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be. And unless Biden, as I've always said,

1159
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: walks out on stage without his pants on, um, you know,

1160
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: muttering about how it's time to go, you know, feed

1161
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: the baby seals in the zoo or something, they're gonna

1162
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,719
Speaker 1: say that he's great, shape, tiptop, no problem, this guy's great.

1163
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 1: You know, you're starting to see people say, yeah, maybe

1164
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: they got to have a little bit of a longer

1165
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: look at a President Harris situation. Maybe maybe you got

1166
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 1: to start looking at, you know, what's going to happen

1167
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: here a few a few years down the line. I

1168
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: think it's important we all understand this that they're gonna

1169
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:29,719
Speaker 1: lie about this, no matter what they're gonna lie about

1170
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: whether Joe Biden is up for the job, because they've

1171
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: lied about that all along. And then even if we

1172
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 1: get to the point where it is clear that that

1173
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: the Biden Harris administration is really the Harris Biden administration,

1174
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,840
Speaker 1: they'll say nobody could have seen this coming, Nobody could

1175
01:10:49,880 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: have ever known. You know, Joe Biden was tip top

1176
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: and he was doing a great job. Total wise, it's

1177
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: all propaganda. What's it like to just sit around? I

1178
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: wonder for people who work in journalism and be engaged

1179
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: in a perpetual fraud. You know, I have my frustrations,

1180
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: and you know, being in the media business is not

1181
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 1: not easy. I mean, I'm blessed that I can do it,

1182
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: but it's also you know, they're the rough days. But

1183
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: at least what I do every day is honest, and

1184
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: I take a lot of I take a lot of

1185
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 1: solace in that I guess when things are tough, or

1186
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: when things don't don't go my way, or when people

1187
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: are writing horrible things to me, whatever. There's a fundamental

1188
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: honesty to saying what you think and telling people who

1189
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:34,000
Speaker 1: you are and what you believe. And American journalism is

1190
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: rooted in the falsehood that they're not all effectively Democrat partisans,

1191
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: and that they're not all just supporting Joe Biden at

1192
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: this moment, which they are doing there, and if they're

1193
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: not doing it, they're identified as a far right conservative

1194
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: pretty much. That's that's the way this works. Yeah, and

1195
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: obviously you've heard the presidents say, and you've heard are

1196
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: both doctor Fauci and doctor Wilenski say that we believe

1197
01:11:56,560 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: it's a mistake to get rid of mask mandates. Obviously,

1198
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: governors have a certain authority there, but so do corporations,

1199
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:09,759
Speaker 1: so do employers, so do individuals. And we're making concerted

1200
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: efforts to make sure that people know that whether or

1201
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: not there's a mandate in place, people that it's in

1202
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: the people's strong interests, strong interest to continue to wear

1203
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: a mask until such time as people have had a

1204
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: chance to be vaccinated. Until such time, I want to

1205
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: be very cool. That's Andy Slavitt, the you know White House,

1206
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, one of the White House COVID advisor people,

1207
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: until such time as people have had a chance to

1208
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: be vaccinated. Now, I want to be very clear about this.

1209
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: They're saying that that they'll have you know, enough doses

1210
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 1: for everybody to have gotten vaccinated, whatever it is, by

1211
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 1: June or July. Do you think that this summer, after

1212
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 1: a couple of months, when it's it's true, that everybody

1213
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 1: in the country will have at least had a fair

1214
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: shot to get vaccinated, meaning that if they really want

1215
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,000
Speaker 1: to that it's in their power to do so. It's free,

1216
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: it's in all communities, all across the country. I really

1217
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: think they're gonna say, Okay, everyone's had their chance. Now

1218
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 1: you can have your Now, you can have your your

1219
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,639
Speaker 1: freedom and your autonomy back. You can breathe fresh air

1220
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: without this mask theatrics going on. I want you to

1221
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 1: remember that I'm saying this now because this is going

1222
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 1: to be one of these buck moments where I say

1223
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 1: to you in July, guess what now they're now they're

1224
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 1: going back on what they told us before. They're moving

1225
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 1: the goal post for the hundredth time. That's what's going

1226
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: to happen in this instance. What will be what will

1227
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 1: be the case is that in July they'll say, oh,

1228
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 1: it's an equity issue because not enough minorities are vaccinate.

1229
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:40,879
Speaker 1: It's sorry, you got to keep them asking up everywhere.

1230
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh it's a you know, it's it's an issue of

1231
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: social justice because there's a disproportion and impact on you know,

1232
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:54,679
Speaker 1: communities of of color from the vaccination program hasn't gotten

1233
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:56,639
Speaker 1: in those communities to the same degree. And the truth

1234
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:00,839
Speaker 1: is there's a lot of vaccination hesitancy among people, including

1235
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: among people from minority communities. So do we do We

1236
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: then have to wait until the bureaucrats are satisfied that

1237
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: they've done everything possible to convince people in the minority

1238
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: community who haven't gotten vaccinated that they should, because how

1239
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,960
Speaker 1: long is that going to take? Never mind, I mean,

1240
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:22,559
Speaker 1: I know there are people listening to this right now.

1241
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: We're like, I'm not geting vaccinated, and buck, I know

1242
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,959
Speaker 1: there are a lot of you. And if you're relatively

1243
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: young and healthy, I think that's you know, first of all,

1244
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 1: it's you're right across the board. It should be you're

1245
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: right across the board and trim whether you do this.

1246
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 1: But beyond that, even based on the data on the science,

1247
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 1: you know, if you're young, but you know you have

1248
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: to get vaccinated as a protection for other people, they say, oh, okay,

1249
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 1: so now the government could force a needle in your

1250
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: arm because of the distant prospect that you may infect

1251
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: other people who also have the opportunity to get vaccinated

1252
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: and therefore should be protected. But there's some some off chance.

1253
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: This is health, this is health policy see Stalinism. All right,

1254
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 1: everyone needs to understand what we're going through here. This

1255
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:09,640
Speaker 1: is unprecedented. What's going on in this country unprecedented, and

1256
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: they're making this crap up as they go along, and

1257
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: it's disgusting and they've been wrong over and over again.

1258
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm just I wanted to go on the record here.

1259
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,599
Speaker 1: They're telling you that you should mask up until everyone's

1260
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: had a chance to be vaccinated. And then in July,

1261
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: when people are saying, come on, let's get rid of

1262
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 1: these dumb ass mandates and lockdowns once and for all,

1263
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:34,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, sorry, there's a there's some angle about

1264
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, racism or social justice or whatever, and we

1265
01:15:38,280 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 1: can't get rid of the mass mandates yet. Guarantee you

1266
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen. Sarsani time, our friend David Harsani

1267
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:49,679
Speaker 1: with us now from National Review. We're gonna talk filibuster reform,

1268
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk gun control and yes, DC statehood with

1269
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 1: the man who will be writing about and has written

1270
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,360
Speaker 1: about all of these things and more. David, great to

1271
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: have you. Let's jump right into it with DC statehood opposition.

1272
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm now seeing, fascinatingly enough, racist. If you don't want

1273
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: DC to be a state, you're racist. Have you seen this? Yeah?

1274
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:13,120
Speaker 1: But I mean everything's racist, right if you disagree with it,

1275
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: So that is not the norm. Now. The funny thing

1276
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 1: is as actually that DC has continued, you know, over

1277
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,719
Speaker 1: the past few decades, has been less and less African

1278
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: American and more and more white. So that argument's fizzle out,

1279
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 1: I think. But I mean there are many many other

1280
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: arguments against it. Yeah, let's make some of them, because

1281
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: right now there's this whole belief that you know, I'm

1282
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:36,360
Speaker 1: seeing people that are supposed to be intelligent blue check

1283
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: types from the liberal media. We're saying, well, you know,

1284
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: they didn't know that South Dakota was going to be

1285
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: a state either. You know, there's a lot of this stuff.

1286
01:16:44,720 --> 01:16:47,799
Speaker 1: This was actually dealt with. I mean, tell everybody, DC

1287
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: statehood is not something that the founders left unremarked upon. Actually,

1288
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: the founders did know South Dakota was going to be

1289
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: a state. They didn't know how it would look like

1290
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,600
Speaker 1: or what the name would be, but they made provisions

1291
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: in the Constitution to allow for new states. They also

1292
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: specifically created the federal district not to be a state.

1293
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:12,600
Speaker 1: It exists, its whole existence is not you know, is

1294
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 1: to not be a state so that you don't have

1295
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: There are many reasons for it. You didn't want to

1296
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 1: have a federal government under a state government answering to

1297
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 1: it and being in its own district. You didn't want

1298
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 1: a place that would just accumulate power because you're not

1299
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,719
Speaker 1: supposed to have a you know, idea. We don't want

1300
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: a permanent political class that we have now, and all

1301
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,680
Speaker 1: those reasons, you know, why we don't make it a

1302
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: state and why we don't give them a vote, and

1303
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,640
Speaker 1: really the whole thing is just a cynical ploy to

1304
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: get more senators. That's not going to happen because you

1305
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,920
Speaker 1: need to change the constitution to do it. So why

1306
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 1: so much focus on those What do they think they

1307
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: accomplished by making so much noise about this right now?

1308
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 1: Because I worry that it's about it's kind of modern

1309
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: Bailey argument, or it's you know, okay, fine, maybe we

1310
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: won't break the filibuster for DC statehood. Not that that

1311
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: as you put not that that even would be what

1312
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: has But that's not the point. Okay, fine, we won't

1313
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: get this, but maybe we do have to go all

1314
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: out for HR one, or we have to break the

1315
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: filibuster for amnesty, or is what do you see happening?

1316
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: Why are they pushing for this? Yeah, I mean, I

1317
01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:19,640
Speaker 1: think that's right. You know. First of all, I think

1318
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: they just want to normalize the idea for a long

1319
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: term goal. But I also think that they want to

1320
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: make Republicans look like they're anti democratic because many of

1321
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 1: them stand off for what's in the Constitution. I don't

1322
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:34,600
Speaker 1: think it's a popular idea. I think you're right that

1323
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: it's part of a larger sort of push to you know,

1324
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 1: to you know, to make it look like Republicans always

1325
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: saying no to everything. They don't want people to have

1326
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: voting rights and all the usual misleading stuff. David Harsani

1327
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 1: with US now. He's at National Review dot com to

1328
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: read his latest and David has also written a book.

1329
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: David title The book is on guns, First Freedom, First Freedom.

1330
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: Now we have another gun control argument upon us, the

1331
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: terrible shooting in Atlanta area, and now we have this Boulder,

1332
01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: Colorado shooting. There's a lot of talk obviously about the

1333
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: the not just the politicization around gun control. But last night,

1334
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:16,519
Speaker 1: if anybody spent some time on social media, and I'd

1335
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: never recommend before you go to bed reading blue check

1336
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 1: liberal social media stuff on Twitter, because you'll just think

1337
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: that the world is coming to an end and we're

1338
01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: all just getting dumber all the time. But they were

1339
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: saying that clearly this is a Trump supporter. Clearly this

1340
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 1: is another white supremacist national white nationalist, and that's turns

1341
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: out the guy's a devout Muslim with the first name

1342
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,639
Speaker 1: off mad or his name is off mad al Issa.

1343
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 1: And now the whole ship is going to be well,

1344
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: maybe we can't get as much out of the white

1345
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 1: nationalist terrorist angle, so it's all gonna be in on

1346
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: gun control. They're saying universal background checks, But David, we

1347
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 1: don't even know this. Did this guy pass a background check?

1348
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:59,679
Speaker 1: Bad guys in the past have passed background checks? Yeah,

1349
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. I don't know how he

1350
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 1: got his gun. They know that they want to incrementally

1351
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 1: take away everyone's gun, so they for them, there's no

1352
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 1: question of how to move forward. For me, I have

1353
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: to see how he got his gun before we can

1354
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 1: discuss with any other than you know, in an emotional

1355
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: way what to do or what happened or if there's

1356
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 1: anything we can do. So there's nothing you can do

1357
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 1: about it. Is there any real data to support the

1358
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 1: notion that if we had universal background checks, which would

1359
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: then have this league, you know, this legal ramification for

1360
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 1: private sale among family members, let's say, or loaning your weapon,

1361
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: depending on what actually goes through different versions of the bill.

1362
01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 1: You know, if you loaned your weapon to your brother

1363
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 1: in law or something so he could go hunting of

1364
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: the weekend. There are versions of universal background checks that

1365
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 1: would be well you have to go to a federally

1366
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,679
Speaker 1: licensed firearms dealer to have them run a Knicks check

1367
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:49,280
Speaker 1: on your brother in law, etc. Right, So it's it's

1368
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: hugely irritating and harassing for people out there across the board.

1369
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,240
Speaker 1: Is there any data to suggest that it would actually

1370
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: notably cut down on crime. I'll tell you yes, but

1371
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think so. I think that there

1372
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: would be there's a marginal you know, do have marginal effect,

1373
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:08,599
Speaker 1: and even then people will just find a different way.

1374
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: Those people and you know, it's just meant, as you said,

1375
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:14,720
Speaker 1: to harass gun owners you know, who have gone through

1376
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 1: a background check, person originally bought that gun, went through

1377
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,759
Speaker 1: a background check, giving it to someone for the purpose

1378
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:22,599
Speaker 1: of any crime, as a straw purchase or straw purchase,

1379
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: or or illegal to give it to anyone who you

1380
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,840
Speaker 1: know is mentally ill, etc. Laws exist for all these things.

1381
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: They should be upheld. I am for that, but I'm

1382
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:35,679
Speaker 1: not for creating new laws that inhibit law abiding people

1383
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,680
Speaker 1: who need weapons or want weapons. It's a constitutional right

1384
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 1: from getting them. It's that simple. And these tragedies don't

1385
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: change my mind on that because I don't believe any

1386
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,160
Speaker 1: of the laws that they want will will change it,

1387
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: nor do I believe that they're worth it. So, you know,

1388
01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 1: but they'll keep coming back with the same exact argument

1389
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: every time, no matter what the situation, and vast a

1390
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:58,719
Speaker 1: number of situations like this, you have a young person

1391
01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: who's mentally ill. Probably I don't know about this case.

1392
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't even want to. This guy was running around

1393
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,320
Speaker 1: shirtless shooting people in a grocery store. I mean very

1394
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: you know. There may be some terrorists motive of some kind,

1395
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 1: we don't know, but I think I mean psychopathy is

1396
01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 1: a fair is a fair bet. Yeah. But you'll notice,

1397
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 1: of course that if it was a white person, regardless

1398
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:19,840
Speaker 1: of why they did it or what it is, it

1399
01:22:19,880 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 1: would be a reflection on the whole country. It would

1400
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: be that we're white supremacists, we're racists. The whole country

1401
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,160
Speaker 1: is the problem. But now when it's not that narrative,

1402
01:22:27,160 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it becomes a very individualistic act.

1403
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, it's going to become about a

1404
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,439
Speaker 1: gun control and not anything else. And it's just very

1405
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 1: frustrating that we can't actually have a real conversation about this,

1406
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: because this is these are horrifying events. Even though gun

1407
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: violence generally has been down over the past thirty years,

1408
01:22:43,760 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 1: these events are terrifying and we should try to figure

1409
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: out ways to help. But all they want to do

1410
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 1: is they have their preconceived notions about guns that they

1411
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: just move forward in the same way every time. We're

1412
01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: speaking of David harsan E got to National Review dot

1413
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,360
Speaker 1: com for his latest pieces on this and other topics

1414
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: as well, and David filibuster reform. I mean, I gotta

1415
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: say I love this. Right, We've we've already got the term.

1416
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 1: We've already got the phrase to make this sound like

1417
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: something other than what it is, which is, you know,

1418
01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: eliminating the filibuster, right, I mean, if I'm if I'm

1419
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,439
Speaker 1: trying to erase something from existence, if I put down

1420
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: a mouse trap because I don't want a mouse running

1421
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 1: around my house anymore, I'm not doing mouse reform, right,

1422
01:23:24,840 --> 01:23:27,559
Speaker 1: like I'm trying to get rid of a thing. And

1423
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: to call this filibuster reform because Democrats want a majoritarian

1424
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:35,240
Speaker 1: rule in the Senate, they want to get everything through

1425
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:38,560
Speaker 1: as fast as they can. I mean, it's it's unprincipled,

1426
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: but it's it's almost if the stakes weren't so high,

1427
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:43,639
Speaker 1: I'd say it's largely amusing because they just don't care.

1428
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: It just it doesn't matter what they said three years ago,

1429
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:51,719
Speaker 1: three months ago about this. It's all about what works now. Right.

1430
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: When Democrats want to create a law, they're filling a loophole.

1431
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,759
Speaker 1: When they want to destroy law, they are, you know, reform.

1432
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:03,760
Speaker 1: It's reform. So they always have the right words, the

1433
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:07,800
Speaker 1: the extraordinary hutzpah there's another word really for it. Of

1434
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: of this, of their argument is it's mind boggling. I mean,

1435
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, thirty Democrats and a letter to save

1436
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: the filibuster not not not in some abstract way, but

1437
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sorry, in an abstract way as a law,

1438
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 1: and that is some kind of neutral you know, as

1439
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: a neutral principle, not as some kind of like trick,

1440
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 1: right supposedly, But now they want to destroy it. They've

1441
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 1: used it five hundred times since twenty fourteen, Republicans haven't

1442
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,679
Speaker 1: even used it in years, and they're they're they're claiming

1443
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: that Mitch McConnell is causing gridlock. They make this claim

1444
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 1: a week after passing a two trillion dollar bill, like

1445
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: what you doesn't even make any sense what they're saying,

1446
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:48,320
Speaker 1: But yet they move forward and the media frames that

1447
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: is there in their you know argument, and and this

1448
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 1: is why, um, you know, this is the most dangerous thing,

1449
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: in my view of you know, of any law they

1450
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 1: want to pass. This filibuster reform stuff is the most dangerous.

1451
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: Do you think that, you know, I have Republican and

1452
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, conservative friends in the media, and they all say, oh,

1453
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: but you know, Joe Manchild won't go along. Oh but

1454
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 1: so and so I'm not convinced. Actually, I mean, they

1455
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 1: just they passed this one point nine trillion dollars spending bill.

1456
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 1: They made people wait for months and months without any

1457
01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: of the of the COVID relief they should have been getting,

1458
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: so they could do this right. That was the gamble

1459
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: they took. They passed Obamacare back in whatever was two

1460
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, two and ten period without a single

1461
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:36,439
Speaker 1: Republican vote. They used the nuclear option on the judicial

1462
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 1: filibuster under Harry Reid. I mean, if I'm looking at

1463
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 1: this over the last ten years, I say, no, I

1464
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:44,040
Speaker 1: think they actually wanted. I think they actually do want

1465
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:46,200
Speaker 1: to get rid of the filibuster. But I have people saying, oh,

1466
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:51,480
Speaker 1: they'll never get there. What do you think? Complicated? Complicated

1467
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 1: question in the sense that I think that they often,

1468
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: and this is not just Democrats, which Republicans sometimes act

1469
01:25:57,520 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: as if they have a majority. They think they'll have

1470
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 1: it forever. Um. The problem is here. I think that

1471
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: they view it like this, we get rid of the filibuster,

1472
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,080
Speaker 1: and we can pass something big, and that once you

1473
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 1: pass something big, it's impossible to pull it back, like Obamacare,

1474
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:13,720
Speaker 1: for instance, So they feel like it's worth it even

1475
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 1: if Republicans come back, because Republicans aren't going to you

1476
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: know what what are we're going to pass a marginal

1477
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: a marginal tax rate cut or something exactly right, So

1478
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 1: you know, that's how they view it. On the other hand, though,

1479
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what bill exactly they're going to put

1480
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: forward that will you know, get people on board like

1481
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: moderates on board to destroy the filibuster? Meaning what bill

1482
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 1: do they don't they have the votes for? Like what

1483
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: bill are they at fifty fifty? Like the uh, you know,

1484
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 1: Green New Green Deal or Green New Deal. I mean,

1485
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're going to get mansion or cinema

1486
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: or anyone else for that. The gun control bill, I

1487
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 1: don't know about that. A tax hike they don't need.

1488
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: That's they can use reconciliational. I think it's amnesty. I've

1489
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: been saying that all and that's my prediction. I think

1490
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,719
Speaker 1: that that's the place where they view it as so

1491
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 1: momentous and such a structural change in American politics that

1492
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:08,560
Speaker 1: it's worth it, all the blowback, all the risk is

1493
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: worth it for amnesty. Do you think that may? I mean,

1494
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,799
Speaker 1: you know, a lot a lot of people say that's dangerous.

1495
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 1: What do you think that's dangerous? Because I think that

1496
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 1: that is as much as the people you know, have

1497
01:27:20,360 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 1: a good talk on immigration. When you really dive into

1498
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: the numbers and polling, people do not like illegal immigration,

1499
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: didn't They don't love amnesty and all of that. I

1500
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:29,800
Speaker 1: think if you do that in that way, they'll be

1501
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 1: big blowback. But then there won't be a filibuster left

1502
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 1: and Republicans can pass money for walls and whatever they

1503
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: want right with the So we're fifty one, so well,

1504
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 1: you know, and I think Joe Biden, if that happens,

1505
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:44,240
Speaker 1: you see what's happening now on the border, I can't

1506
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:47,000
Speaker 1: imagine people like that. So I don't know. I mean,

1507
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 1: I think that would be dangerous and I don't see

1508
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:50,800
Speaker 1: Mansion going along with something like that. But you know,

1509
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: you never know. I mean, he is kind of he

1510
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 1: doesn't really have very strong principles, it seems to me,

1511
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: so he can be pushed around a bit. You always

1512
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 1: got that, you know, the induced means for Democrat politicians

1513
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 1: right now, when when it's really important to the to

1514
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: the DNC, to the Biden White House to get it done.

1515
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 1: I mean, people got to stop thinking about it's just

1516
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: about votes, it's about a board seat on Netflix. You know,

1517
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 1: it's about you know, you know, Fauci's got a book

1518
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: that's coming out from Simon and Schuster Children's book This

1519
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 1: uh expected to come out later this spring. David, you

1520
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 1: know I mean this, You know, do the bidding of

1521
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: the left become a millionaire? All these people from the

1522
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: Obama administration that that went into the Obama administration with

1523
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 1: like less than one hundred thousand dollars in net assets,

1524
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: like Jen Psaki, they come back they're multimillionaires. Now, Oh gosh,

1525
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 1: what big benefits? Yeah, I know, but you know they

1526
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 1: care about power in some sense too, so I you

1527
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 1: might be right. I mean, I just think HR one

1528
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 1: people when you say, oh, voting rights, they love it.

1529
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 1: But when you ask them do you think someone should

1530
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 1: show an ID to vote? They are like, you know,

1531
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:55,719
Speaker 1: eighty percent four that. So I think that passing something

1532
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: sometimes is easier, But there's big blowack after and that

1533
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: could happen with like HR one, which I don't think

1534
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: will pass hopefully, or you know, some kind of amnisty

1535
01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 1: bill which could be tucked into some bigger bill on immigration,

1536
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: it might happen. I don't think, you know, I don't

1537
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 1: have any kind of big, definitive stand here, I think

1538
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:13,320
Speaker 1: you might be right about that, but I think it's

1539
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: dangerous for death before I, by way, I agree that

1540
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 1: it is. It is dangerous Democrats because I think also

1541
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 1: already they're seeing the illegal immigration crisis at the border.

1542
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 1: They're thinking about the midterms right now, and I think

1543
01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:28,959
Speaker 1: it does look ugly for the House of Representatives for Democrats.

1544
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 1: I think that's I think I think they got an

1545
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 1: issue already and they know it, and they're just they're

1546
01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 1: just getting started to that end. Before we let you go, David,

1547
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:39,760
Speaker 1: two months in the Biden presidency worse than you honestly expected,

1548
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: about what you expected, or a little better than you expected.

1549
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:45,760
Speaker 1: It's about what I expected. I mean, I maybe it's

1550
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 1: a little worse in the sense that I thought that

1551
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: Biden would pull it back to some kind of more

1552
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,880
Speaker 1: moderate positions, but obviously he's going full blown, you know,

1553
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 1: left wing agenda items. I think that that's going to

1554
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:57,200
Speaker 1: hurt him in the board of thing. I did not

1555
01:29:57,280 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 1: expect it, but that you know and probably should have,

1556
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:01,439
Speaker 1: and that I think is going to be something that

1557
01:30:01,479 --> 01:30:03,360
Speaker 1: harms them more than they think. Like you mentioned in

1558
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:05,639
Speaker 1: the House races, Democrat Republicans are going to get six

1559
01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:09,640
Speaker 1: new districts already, right seats and now you're talking about

1560
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of seat Arizona on Texas and elsewhere with

1561
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 1: this matters, David Arsani, everybody go to due to a

1562
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 1: National Review dot Com for his latest friend, David David,

1563
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 1: thanks so much, man, good have you? Thank you so.

1564
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 1: First of all, that what you're saying is wrong, that's

1565
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:31,920
Speaker 1: that's a fake narrative. So first of all, when we

1566
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 1: did the first pharmacies that had it were CVS and

1567
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,679
Speaker 1: Walgreens and they had a long term care mission. We've

1568
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:40,759
Speaker 1: done almost seventy five percent of the seniors in Palm

1569
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 1: Beach and the reason is because you had the strong

1570
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 1: retail footprint. And it's wrong, it's wrong, it's a fake narrative.

1571
01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 1: I just disabused you of the narrative, and you don't

1572
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:51,800
Speaker 1: care about the facts because obviously I laid it out

1573
01:30:51,800 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: for you in a way that is irrefutable, and so

1574
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:58,280
Speaker 1: it's clearly not no, no, no, you're wrong. You're wrong.

1575
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 1: You're wrong, Yes, sir, that is how you have to

1576
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:04,680
Speaker 1: talk to the fake news media. Governor Ron de santists

1577
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:07,320
Speaker 1: putting on a clinic. No, that that's what you have

1578
01:31:07,320 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: to do. You couldn't really hear what the reporter was saying.

1579
01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 1: They're very well the press comments. I'll to tell you

1580
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:16,640
Speaker 1: she she went down. They didn't public's you know, supermarkets,

1581
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,519
Speaker 1: didn't they donate one hundred thousand dollars to your campaign

1582
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 1: or something like that. The allegation here being that there

1583
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:29,519
Speaker 1: was some favoritism in the vaccination site program meant to

1584
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 1: help Ron de santists, right, specifically, meant meant to help

1585
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:37,719
Speaker 1: Ron de Santists. I'm sorry his donors, and he comes

1586
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: back at them and he says, he's like, no, no,

1587
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,440
Speaker 1: not true. We've actually done a great job on vaccinations.

1588
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 1: This is bull. I've given you the facts and figures,

1589
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 1: you have the data, and you just can't let them

1590
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:51,919
Speaker 1: do what they're doing, which is they they present themselves

1591
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:55,519
Speaker 1: as journalists, but they're activists. You can tell the people

1592
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,679
Speaker 1: in the Democrat aligned media, which is ninety five percent

1593
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:00,600
Speaker 1: of the media. They show up at these press conferences

1594
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 1: and most of them want to get their their little clip,

1595
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:08,800
Speaker 1: the little viral moment that goes on CNN, where they're

1596
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: effectively not actually trying to get information, but but posing

1597
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: an editorial as though it's a question meant to get

1598
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 1: meant to get data. They're editorializing, and the make believe

1599
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 1: is that they're just trying to get answers. And Rhonda

1600
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 1: Santis is totally right. That is the way you've got

1601
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: to handle little fake news media. And that's one of

1602
01:32:32,760 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 1: the greatest lessons we learned from President Trump. Going on

1603
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 1: offense against against the news media is an absolute necessity.

1604
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:45,679
Speaker 1: You must go on offense against the fake news media

1605
01:32:45,800 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 1: or else they will be on perpetual offense against you.

1606
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 1: So that's a very important I mean, that's that's a

1607
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:57,520
Speaker 1: critical place for all of this. I think it's essential

1608
01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 1: that everyone understand that Republicans going forward need to take

1609
01:33:03,160 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 1: that attitude, need to say, I'm sorry, what you're saying

1610
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 1: is nonsense. It's bs. I don't you know. We can't

1611
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,639
Speaker 1: deal with this this garbage anymore. All right, you don't

1612
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 1: have to give them some fake deference. Now, if a

1613
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 1: journalist shows up and asks a real question and get

1614
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: you know, wants a real answer, fine, of course, that's

1615
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 1: why we have press conferences. But the moment somebody's grants it,

1616
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 1: the moment someone's acosta ing and grandstanding under the pretense

1617
01:33:28,400 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 1: of being a journalist. You got to call it out

1618
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 1: otherwise they get away with the game. Otherwise the fake

1619
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:38,760
Speaker 1: news just continues and in fact gets rewarded for what

1620
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:44,680
Speaker 1: it's doing. Rock and roll, fellow Patriots, It's time for

1621
01:33:44,920 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: roll call producer Mark Man. It is Tuesday, and I

1622
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 1: know you're feeling all right. I got a cold though,

1623
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:12,840
Speaker 1: So if for anyone who was wondering, why did I

1624
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 1: sound a little weird today or why am I kind

1625
01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 1: of my voice coming in and out? If I sound

1626
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm not depressed, we're down. I just my

1627
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 1: voice isn't what it normally is because it's all inflamed.

1628
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't. I don't feel good today,

1629
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: So I'm just just pushing through. But you're feeling good, right, Yeah,

1630
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm feeling okay, Okay. I don't think I can host

1631
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 1: the show in your absence though, Yeah, I don't want to.

1632
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to put that on you. Three hours

1633
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:39,640
Speaker 1: a lot of radio to carry. Well. I feel like

1634
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 1: the audience would tune out when I started talking about sports. Yep,

1635
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert in politics. What am I talking about? Yeah? Well,

1636
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:48,639
Speaker 1: I mean, but there are sports lovers in the audience.

1637
01:34:48,680 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, a segment or two, they'd

1638
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:54,559
Speaker 1: think it was fantastic. So if you did it, are

1639
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:56,519
Speaker 1: you hosting the sports topics, because then I don't think

1640
01:34:56,560 --> 01:34:58,160
Speaker 1: they would like that very much. No, I'm saying, well,

1641
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:00,040
Speaker 1: you hosting sports topics for a couple of seconds, I

1642
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 1: would work out great. Three hours of sports might be

1643
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: a lot. That's always amazing me. I never listened to

1644
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: sports talk radio. That's just the fact that people can

1645
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 1: talk about sports for Are there three hour SportsTalk radio shows?

1646
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 1: There is really only one hour. There are five hour

1647
01:35:11,360 --> 01:35:18,480
Speaker 1: sports talk shows. You're kidding, No, I don't. I don't

1648
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:21,519
Speaker 1: how like, how is that a think about? Like? How

1649
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:23,680
Speaker 1: is that a thing think about? In a city like

1650
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:27,000
Speaker 1: New York got the Jets, the Giants, the Mets, the Yankees,

1651
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 1: got the basketball teams, You've got the hockey teams. There's

1652
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 1: enough to talk about that's remarkable. And people call in

1653
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 1: and they want to talk about their team. Yeah, every day,

1654
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 1: you know, I just I don't know. I there's a

1655
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:42,840
Speaker 1: part of it feels like I wish I could get

1656
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 1: particularly about college basketball. I wish I cared about college

1657
01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 1: basketball with the kind of emotional poll and and and

1658
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 1: involvement and investment. That's what I'm looking for, emotional investment

1659
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:57,160
Speaker 1: that so many other millions of Americans seemed. I mean,

1660
01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:00,680
Speaker 1: they look like March madness and college basketball people look

1661
01:36:00,680 --> 01:36:03,799
Speaker 1: at me like I'm an alien from outer space because

1662
01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:07,679
Speaker 1: I've I've never watched a college basketball game in full ever,

1663
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 1: but really never, Huh. I've never seen a full college bout.

1664
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 1: I've seen in bars when I'm drinking and in my

1665
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:17,439
Speaker 1: single days when I was like trying to actually get

1666
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:19,920
Speaker 1: a girl's phone number or something. I've seen in the

1667
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:23,720
Speaker 1: background and maybe feigned interest so that I looked like

1668
01:36:23,760 --> 01:36:25,920
Speaker 1: I was normal and cool. But I know, I've never

1669
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 1: watched a full college about I've always thought, if I

1670
01:36:29,600 --> 01:36:32,000
Speaker 1: didn't go to this school, why do I care? Point one?

1671
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 1: And then point two, wouldn't I just watch I've watched

1672
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot of NBA games. Why why wouldn't I just

1673
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:39,920
Speaker 1: watch professional basketball? That's what I don't understand. Well, see,

1674
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 1: I will admit I did not watch a single college

1675
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:46,799
Speaker 1: basketball game before the tournament that didn't involve my modern

1676
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,439
Speaker 1: Offstra because you know, I don't really care. But when

1677
01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:53,559
Speaker 1: the tournament comes in, the games are so exciting, they're

1678
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:56,720
Speaker 1: usually down to the wire. There's very food, few blowouts.

1679
01:36:56,960 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 1: It's just fun to watch the sport, you know what

1680
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean. You know, look, I enjoy watching a basketball game.

1681
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 1: I guess it's just somehow ncable a march madness. It

1682
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 1: it drives these huge ratings and there's this this it's

1683
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 1: a real cultural phenomenon. And I just I'm not I'm

1684
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 1: not criticizing it. I just I don't like it doesn't

1685
01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:20,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't land with me. You know, I sort of

1686
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 1: sit here like, I don't. I don't get it. You know,

1687
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm to get excited about Gonzaga playing Duke or something.

1688
01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:27,639
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't go to these schools. I don't care.

1689
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm an old man now. I don't know. I don't.

1690
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't get it. But what I'm curiously, you didn't

1691
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:35,400
Speaker 1: go to any sporting events when you were in college.

1692
01:37:34,439 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: I I I went no. I mean I had friends

1693
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:41,200
Speaker 1: on teams that I would show up for occasionally and

1694
01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:43,840
Speaker 1: watch like a quarter of and then I would usually

1695
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:45,400
Speaker 1: want to go to a party somewhere and I would

1696
01:37:45,479 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 1: leave um and and for homecoming, I went to the

1697
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:52,640
Speaker 1: parties that were around the field. Like what do you

1698
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,600
Speaker 1: call that? When you do the you know, you're in

1699
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,160
Speaker 1: the parking lot with the kegs and things. Yeah, usually

1700
01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,880
Speaker 1: like a homecoming is what it's called. Yeah, no, no,

1701
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:03,639
Speaker 1: what do you call tailgating? Tailgating? Yeah, so I would

1702
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:06,559
Speaker 1: do that. And I think I saw in my four

1703
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 1: years at Amherst College, which is a small D three school,

1704
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 1: and nobody really cares about their sports except amhers versus Williams.

1705
01:38:12,280 --> 01:38:13,840
Speaker 1: We're supposed to care about that. I look at them,

1706
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, why, uh, you know, I always thought the

1707
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:20,559
Speaker 1: football players at my school, I had some some of

1708
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 1: the football players at at my school were my friends.

1709
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: Most of them were jerks and I did not like them.

1710
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 1: A few of them were good buddies of mine, and

1711
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:29,760
Speaker 1: I was just kind of laughing. I'm like, they're D three,

1712
01:38:29,800 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 1: they stink, Like who cares? I don't get it. What's

1713
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:33,920
Speaker 1: why am I supposed to be impressed by this? We're

1714
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 1: not even good at this. We're Division three school to football.

1715
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 1: The quarterback was like my size, Like who cares? Oh,

1716
01:38:39,720 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 1: I guess quarterbacks aren't that big. But you get what

1717
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, it wasn't if you go to Ohio

1718
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 1: State and you go to a football game with one

1719
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people in the stands or whatever. Like I

1720
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:53,280
Speaker 1: could see that big exciting. Yeah I get that, but

1721
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:56,320
Speaker 1: D three level that you're they're basically just playing for fun,

1722
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:58,599
Speaker 1: to do, something to do during college, Yeah, but people

1723
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:00,600
Speaker 1: got so into it. Always be Oh, I was in

1724
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 1: the class of seventy five, and I still come to see,

1725
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, amorous versus Williams that sit there, Like why

1726
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 1: who gives anyway? Anyway? I know, I know, it's just

1727
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:11,959
Speaker 1: like I'm barely American. You guys gotta remember I'm from Manhattan,

1728
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:14,360
Speaker 1: which is like not even really America. It's like a

1729
01:39:14,800 --> 01:39:18,759
Speaker 1: it's like some little, you know, cosmopolitanist enclave or something.

1730
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 1: You know, it's just a different, different thing. This is

1731
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:24,639
Speaker 1: also why you know, I sit around that I tell people,

1732
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 1: although see, I'm honest about these things. Like there are

1733
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 1: other people that come from New York or come from DC,

1734
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,480
Speaker 1: and they pretend, oh yeah, like I work in conservative

1735
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 1: media and I love country music or something. It's really

1736
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, look, country music can be really great, but

1737
01:39:39,720 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't pretend that I'm some big country music buff

1738
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:44,680
Speaker 1: because I think it's going to appeal the fact that

1739
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:47,439
Speaker 1: my radio show is played in a lot of parts

1740
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 1: of the country where country music is really popular. Like

1741
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:52,360
Speaker 1: I respect country music, but I don't know. I guess

1742
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: I just like I'm just not a fraud. I think

1743
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 1: that's I don't. I don't like being a phony. So anyway, um,

1744
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: let's get to uh where are we here? Okay? Yeah?

1745
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:06,680
Speaker 1: Roll calls? We actually have people sending in roll calls stuff?

1746
01:40:07,080 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 1: And wait, where are we here? Where? Where did it go?

1747
01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 1: Bruce and Mark? Where? Oh? There it is Facebook dot com,

1748
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 1: slash buck Sexton or team buck at. iHeartMedia dot com.

1750
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:28,960

Speaker 1: hold on a second, Ashley, let's do this one. Hey Buck,

1752
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 1: I've listened to you for for years, not quite one

1753
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 1: of the original crew, but long enough to be a

1754
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:42,200
Speaker 1: Shield's High chick. I am replanning a COVID wedding currently,

1755
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 1: so I might just have all the emotions going on,

1756
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:46,880
Speaker 1: but I'm so happy to hear you have a new

1757
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 1: lady in your life and I wish you all the happiness. Well,

1758
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 1: thank you, Ashley. Yeah, her name is Debrah. It's not

1759
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: actually snow Princess. We met right before lockdown, I mean

1760
01:40:57,320 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 1: a couple a few months before, like, but I mean

1761
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 1: we met like right before the and so we've spent

1762
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 1: my twenty twenty was defined by Deborah and Tolou and

1763
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:12,160
Speaker 1: Talus an animal, and I understand that's a different you know,

1764
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 1: canine companionship is is never not the same thing as

1765
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, the person that is your significant other. But

1766
01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: those are those are my ladies, that those are my

1767
01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:26,679
Speaker 1: two ladies for the whole of lockdown, and it really

1768
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:29,479
Speaker 1: help producer. Mark was very fortunate and that he got married.

1769
01:41:29,960 --> 01:41:33,559
Speaker 1: What you got married five months before lockdown? Something that

1770
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 1: I got married late November of twenty nineteen, and then

1771
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 1: we went to lockdown in March. Yeah, so let's say December, January, February. Yeah,

1772
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 1: three like three months basically about three months. Wow, look

1773
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:46,559
Speaker 1: at you, just under the wire and you had a

1774
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 1: big wedding with people dancing and enjoying life and not

1775
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,599
Speaker 1: quadruple masking with goggles on, terrified of their own shadow.

1776
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:57,720
Speaker 1: Isn't that nice? Yes? I think we would not have

1777
01:41:57,840 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 1: ended up having a wedding at all if I would

1778
01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:02,000
Speaker 1: have had to be with any of the COVID stuff. Yeah, no,

1779
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:03,720
Speaker 1: I mean though the way that they've they've done all

1780
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 1: this stuff. Now you know, they're still telling people they

1781
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,000
Speaker 1: don't even think they should be able to do outdoor

1782
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 1: weddings this summer. I'm sitting I'm like, why outdoor is safe?

1783
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 1: What is the problem here? And people are vaccing it?

1784
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I lose I lose my mind. I

1785
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 1: lose my mind? What else to say about it? All right? Alex, Hey,

1786
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:23,080
Speaker 1: bucking Mark, I heard you complaining about being on the

1787
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:26,880
Speaker 1: treadmill with a mask on. Get a peloton and join

1788
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:29,959
Speaker 1: us in the Team Buck group. All the other peloton

1789
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:33,680
Speaker 1: listeners join and tell the other peloton listeners to join

1790
01:42:33,760 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 1: Team Buck. Lastly, I spent the day yesterday in Manhattan.

1791
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 1: It was beautiful in NYC. My wife and I meandered

1792
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 1: our way from fifty seventh and first to twenty third

1793
01:42:43,160 --> 01:42:45,680
Speaker 1: and ninth. I did not wear a mask for the

1794
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:47,720
Speaker 1: entire walk. I wanted to see if anyone was going

1795
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:51,000
Speaker 1: to comment. No one did. Actually saw a good number

1796
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:53,200
Speaker 1: of folks with no mask. Let's let's let's hope this

1797
01:42:53,280 --> 01:42:58,760
Speaker 1: is a trend. She'll tie well, Alex, you walk not

1798
01:42:58,880 --> 01:43:02,240
Speaker 1: too far from the buck, my friend, So you were

1799
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 1: definitely crossing through my neck of the woods and see

1800
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 1: Team Buck is closer than we even realized, Producer Mark,

1801
01:43:09,320 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: They're not just in our hearts, in our minds, they're

1802
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,840
Speaker 1: actually physically around. Yeah, they're everywhere. Yeah they're They're all

1803
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:21,080
Speaker 1: over the place. And as for as for masking on

1804
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:22,840
Speaker 1: this show, that's good to hear the people, I think

1805
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:26,599
Speaker 1: because as the weather gets warmer, you will see more

1806
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: mask non compliance outside. It's never even really been clear

1807
01:43:31,160 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: to me because they've always said mask outdoors if you

1808
01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:38,000
Speaker 1: can't social distance, okay, Well I just everyone that sees

1809
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:42,439
Speaker 1: me outside should just assume that my plan is to

1810
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 1: social distance, okay, and they can leave me, leave me

1811
01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 1: alone and go blank themselves, like they should just assume

1812
01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:52,599
Speaker 1: that that's where we are, and that would be my thing.

1813
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:55,280
Speaker 1: Let's see what we get here, Nancy or it's hey, Buck,

1814
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 1: I listen to you Tuesday night. I'm in La. The

1815
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 1: station is the Patriot, which I think is affiliated with

1816
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 1: I believe she means KiB but she wrote Kiev in

1817
01:44:05,439 --> 01:44:07,720
Speaker 1: here or Kiev as I believe it said in the

1818
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 1: Ukrainian But I don't think I think she right Prus Mark.

1819
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: She probably means KiB. Yes, our station in Los Angeles. Correct, yes,

1820
01:44:14,520 --> 01:44:18,759
Speaker 1: because otherwise the Petri being affiliated with the station than Kiev.

1821
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how big a Team Buck Kiev is

1822
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:26,160
Speaker 1: as a station. It's very um does not sound large. Yeah,

1823
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:29,599
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten the syndicating radio outside of America yet.

1824
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:32,519
Speaker 1: We are not, as far as I understand, we are

1825
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 1: not syndicated in Ukraine. Although if there is some Team

1826
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:39,000
Speaker 1: Buck Ukraine out there, and I know, I don't if

1827
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:41,040
Speaker 1: you're a Team Buck born in Ukraine and now live

1828
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 1: in America, you're just Team Buck America wherever you are,

1829
01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 1: I mean actual Team Buck in Ukraine right now? Do

1830
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:50,240
Speaker 1: let us know? Because that would be fun. Because we've

1831
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:54,840
Speaker 1: had in the past. We got Team Buck South Korea, Afghanistan,

1832
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:58,720
Speaker 1: Iraq based pretty much anywherehere there's United States military. Germany,

1833
01:44:59,000 --> 01:45:02,280
Speaker 1: we got Team Buck FO representing there. We also have

1834
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:06,280
Speaker 1: had on the civilian side, Team Buck Israel. I'm sorry, yeah,

1835
01:45:06,280 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 1: Team Buck Israel, Team Buck Ireland. Where else have we

1836
01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 1: had international folks right in from like Australia. Australia, Yeah,

1837
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:19,759
Speaker 1: English speaking English speaking countries like that, for sure. There's

1838
01:45:19,800 --> 01:45:22,640
Speaker 1: some Team Buck Canada. I haven't heard much from them

1839
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: in a while. What's up Team Buck Canada. I haven't

1840
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:25,639
Speaker 1: heard from you in a while. What's going on? Uh?

1841
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,760
Speaker 1: Getting a little frosty up there? So but yeah, if

1842
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,920
Speaker 1: there's Team Bucky Crane, let us know about the masks,

1843
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:34,880
Speaker 1: Nancy Rights. They're saying opening Disneyland that you cannot scream

1844
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,160
Speaker 1: or lap when you're on a ride. I just had

1845
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:39,920
Speaker 1: to tell you a loyal fan, thanks, Nancy. Yeah, that's

1846
01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:42,439
Speaker 1: this is what happens. I mean, when you're not allowed

1847
01:45:42,479 --> 01:45:46,519
Speaker 1: to point out how stupid their rules are, their rules

1848
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:49,400
Speaker 1: get dumber when you just like like a like a

1849
01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 1: good little a good little surf right when you mask

1850
01:45:54,240 --> 01:45:58,360
Speaker 1: up between bites and you don't challenge how stupid that is,

1851
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 1: then it turns into you're only allowed to chew ten

1852
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:05,720
Speaker 1: times and then you have to mask up regardless. You know.

1853
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 1: Then then they just keep pushing because their attitude is

1854
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:14,040
Speaker 1: no matter how stupid the regulation may be, if there's

1855
01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:17,679
Speaker 1: a theoretical possibility it may stop someone from getting COVID,

1856
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:21,839
Speaker 1: it is justified. That's really been their approach all along.

1857
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:26,040
Speaker 1: If it saves just one COVID case, has been the

1858
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:29,600
Speaker 1: way that they've approached this. And this is actually a

1859
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 1: recipe if they were to continue with this. This is

1860
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: the recipe for the ruination of the country that we

1861
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:36,680
Speaker 1: live in. More roll call to finish us up here,

1862

1870
01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:03,600
Speaker 1: the way to make it happen. And we got to

1871
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:06,880
Speaker 1: get the word out, all right. Al Buck on the

1872
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 1: comments of condemnation for Cuomo's alleged acts towards some women

1873
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 1: from Biden, Schumer, and de Blasio, it's just posturing and

1874
01:47:15,520 --> 01:47:19,000
Speaker 1: distraction from the more serious situation, which is the nursing

1875
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 1: home debts. Reminds me of a famous Archie Bunker quote.

1876
01:47:23,280 --> 01:47:26,639
Speaker 1: Generosity is a great thing, especially when it doesn't cost

1877
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:30,759
Speaker 1: you anything. Onwards, Sir Al, I've been saying I agree

1878
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:34,760
Speaker 1: with you. I've been saying this all along, that the

1879
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:41,559
Speaker 1: focus on the sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo removes a

1880
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:44,920
Speaker 1: lot of the attention, unfortunately, removes a lot of the

1881
01:47:44,960 --> 01:47:50,839
Speaker 1: attention from what should get far more of the press,

1882
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:59,200
Speaker 1: certainly attention, which is the lethal stupidity and thuggishness in

1883
01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 1: the behavior of Cuomo with regard to the nursing homes

1884
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 1: and the cover up in all of it. That's a

1885
01:48:05,479 --> 01:48:08,160
Speaker 1: much bigger scandal. It's awful of that is what happened.

1886
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:11,760
Speaker 1: And they focused on the sexual harassment allegations, which have

1887
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:14,799
Speaker 1: resulted in you know that there's there's I think Cuomo

1888
01:48:14,880 --> 01:48:18,320
Speaker 1: is going to end up staying because of that. He's

1889
01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:21,360
Speaker 1: managed to live to fight another day as a politician

1890
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 1: because they they met, they turned the whole public's attention

1891
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Speaker 1: onto the sexual harassment stuff. And look, it wasn't This

1892
01:48:30,080 --> 01:48:34,400
Speaker 1: stuff is bad, but it wasn't at that level where

1893
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:37,920
Speaker 1: it was just truly unsustainable anymore. He was able to

1894
01:48:37,920 --> 01:48:42,679
Speaker 1: still say, oh, let's wait for investigation, let's not jump

1895
01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:49,200
Speaker 1: to conclusions, let's wait to see what the investigator's fine.

1896
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,680
Speaker 1: Right that he was able to do that, and that

1897
01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:55,559
Speaker 1: was all it took for him to, you know, stay

1898
01:48:55,560 --> 01:48:57,640
Speaker 1: in it, and he is staying in it. He's not

1899
01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:00,759
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. In my estimation, I think Governor

1900
01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:04,320
Speaker 1: Cuomo has managed to make it through this all right. Michael,

1901
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:07,680
Speaker 1: Hey Buck, I'm a union pipe fitter in western Pennsylvania.

1902
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:09,200
Speaker 1: Have been a fan of yours since your days on

1903
01:49:09,240 --> 01:49:12,400
Speaker 1: the Blaze, even though my union towed the party line.

1904
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:14,640
Speaker 1: Myself and a pilot guys and my local voter for

1905
01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 1: Trump because we knew what the Left was going to

1906
01:49:17,000 --> 01:49:19,840
Speaker 1: do to our industry. Our work is dependent on building

1907
01:49:19,920 --> 01:49:25,800
Speaker 1: natural gas fired powerhouses. The contractors have backed out. Well,

1908
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:28,520
Speaker 1: Michael Man, great to have somebody out in Western PA

1909
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,759
Speaker 1: who's a union member who listens. I hope you, Michael,

1910
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:36,040
Speaker 1: will get all of your union brothers and sisters to

1911
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 1: please listen to the Buck Section shows. Well, tell them

1912
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:41,280
Speaker 1: they will, I think, enjoy, appreciate, and certainly learn from

1913
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 1: this show, even if their politics don't totally align with mine.

1914
01:49:44,800 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 1: I think that we do a show that that is

1915
01:49:48,439 --> 01:49:52,519
Speaker 1: information dense enough and an analytic enough that even those

1916
01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:55,760
Speaker 1: who don't align with me on everything see value in

1917
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:59,720
Speaker 1: hearing the perspective, see value in giving me some of

1918
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:06,000
Speaker 1: their time so they understand the argument from a conservative perspective.

1919
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 1: That's gonna be it for us. Today here though, in

1920
01:50:09,560 --> 01:50:12,960
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hut, and we've got a lot that I'm

1921
01:50:13,000 --> 01:50:16,120
Speaker 1: sure we're gonna have to get to tomorrow, So please

1922
