Seems like there always seem to 13 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: be some obstacles that come up big tech. Not always 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: really that fond of us being able to talk to 15 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: as many of you as we are, so just be 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: aware of that.

We're joined 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: now by Congressman Jim Jordan from Ohio, and he is 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: a fantastic battler on the grand stage that is in 23 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 1: the middle of so much chaos this week on Capitol Hill. Jim, 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: we appreciate the time. I man, what do you expect 25 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: to see happen this week as it comes with the 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: reconciliation with infrastructure, with the debt ceiling, all that coming 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: together this week? What's the end result in your mind? Well, 28 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: I mean, let's hope it doesn't happen. I'm gonna be 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: with you guys in congrats on all the success, amazing 30 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: show you have. Um, let's see what happens. But let's 31 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: hope it doesn't. That they get the only thing they 32 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: get passes, you know, some bill to keep the government open, 33 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: and we funded the current levels, which are frankly bad 34 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: enough out of these ridiculous spending levels they're proposing. So 35 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: we're just gonna see. I mean, it's frankly gonna be 36 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: up and Nancy Pelosi and she can get the votes 37 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: they typically do, but I hope they don't. This would 38 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: be the first chance that we actually slow down their 39 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: crazy agenda and all the bad things they've done in 40 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: the nine months where they've controlled the federal government. Do here. 41 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it feels sometimes like we're going to talk 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: about this a lot, but the debt ceiling. We've seen 43 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: this fight play out before. It always gets raised one 44 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: way or another. The budget bill looks like it's going 45 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: to get passed one way another. So is the best 46 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: we can hope for just the pressure to bring some 47 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,399 Speaker 1: changes so that we get from They keep saying three 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: point five trillion. I'm hearing it's really all in more 49 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: like five trillion. We just pare that down a little bit. 50 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: I mean, what, I don't know if we could talk 51 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: about victory, but what does a best effort look like 52 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: from the GOP side with this budget mess? Well, the 53 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: best effort would be the one point two that's supposedly 54 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: got a little bit of real infrastructure in it, that 55 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: that doesn't pass on Thursday. That's the day she's now given. 56 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: So hopefully that doesn't pass on Thursday. If that doesn't 57 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: pass on Thursday, then the so called moderate Democrats in 58 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: the House aren't going to be willing support a three 59 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: point five because but you know, the hardcore progressive, the 60 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: hard left in their conference won't support to one point two, 61 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: and nothing happens other than they just fund the government 62 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: for some length of time at current levels what's typically 63 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: called around the discount as the continuing resolution. So you 64 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: fund government at the current levels, which would be much 65 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: better than what they're proposing. So I hope that's the 66 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: end game and that we never get to this. Certainly 67 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: never get to this three point five. But that's going 68 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: to in the end depend on, you know, a lot 69 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: on what happens in the Senate too, with Senator Mansion, 70 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: Senator Cinema and those who said they're not going to 71 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: go for that level of spending. What are you hearing 72 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: and what do you expect when all the rubber kind 73 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: of meets the road here As it pertains to Mansion 74 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: and Cinema, there are reports that Cinema has said, hey, 75 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: she doesn't want any tax increases at all. Mansion certainly 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: has said, hey, I don't feel comfortable at three point 77 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: five trillion, even though the cost is higher than that, 78 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: but at that number, and he might want it at one. 79 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: Mansion also has said, hey, I don't even want to 80 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: do this now, Let's wait and see where we are. 81 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Maybe after the first of the year. If you were 82 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: kind of crystal ball gazing here, Congressman, how do you 83 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: see this shaken out? Well, yeah, it's hard to say. 84 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you just don't know what she's 85 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: going to be able to get. What's spear policy going 86 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: to be able to get her conference to do this 87 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: week again, I think the American people are done with 88 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: all this. They've seen, you know, I say, every policy 89 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: area they've screwed up and went from secure border to chaos. 90 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: We went from sabled prices to record inflation. We went 91 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: from you know, respect around the globe to what happened 92 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: in the debaquin Afghanistan, and we went from safe city. 93 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean, every policy area they've screwed up. So I 94 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: think what the American people want is don't don't go 95 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: raising our taxes, increases spending, making the economy worse than 96 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 1: you've already done. So I think that's what the American 97 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: people want. I don't know what they're gonna be able 98 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: to get. I really don't know. Remember, the vote was 99 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: supposed to happen yesterday, the vote on the one point 100 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: two trained dollar packets, that's right, So policy has already 101 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: misled her own members. She promised them to get through 102 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: US crisis. A few weeks back, she promised in the 103 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: vote was going to be yesterday and that didn't happen. 104 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: Now she's promises going to be Thursday. So we'll see 105 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: how this all shakes out. But the truth is, nobody 106 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: knows what we are. The only thing we do know 107 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: is everything they have done has been a disaster. So 108 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: let's hope that this is not the same thing. We're 109 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: speaking to Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio and Congressman we 110 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: have seen images coming out of the US Mexico border 111 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: in the last week and a half or so that 112 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: has finally got people paying attention to it because they 113 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: can visualize what it means to have a lawless and 114 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: de facto open border. The numbers, though, have been staggering 115 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: all summer. It looks like the Senate is not going 116 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: to be able to get through amnesty through reconciliation thanks 117 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: to the parliamentary and saying no, that's not actually giving 118 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: mass amnesty is not a budgetary measure. But where do 119 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: you think this political divide over illegal immigration goes and 120 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: do you think it plays a major role in the 121 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: upcoming mid terms as a as a real weakness for 122 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Of course it does. We had Secretary 123 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: of Orcas Buck say last week he said in front 124 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: of the front of Congress, Oh, the border is secure, 125 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: and you're like, what are you people talking about. We 126 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: got a briefing. Magiciary Committee got a briefing last week 127 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: from people in the Biden administration. They actually and we 128 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: asked the sort of fundamental question, where are they? Where 129 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: are the Haitian immigrants? Where they at? How many you 130 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: are in the country, how many sent back? They couldn't 131 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: even tell us where everyone was at. And they even 132 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: said this, They said, oh, some of them we think 133 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: went back, turned around and went back on their own. 134 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: And I wanted to just laugh on the phone call. 135 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you talking about? So they made 136 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: this thousand mile track or whatever it is, and they 137 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: get here, Oh, we'll just turn around and go back 138 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: because of you know, you know, if there's some some 139 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: border patrol agents on horses or whatever. I mean, it's 140 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: crazy the things they say and the idea that now 141 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: there were fifteen thousand us of the bridge, we can 142 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: have Togo. We don't know where they're all at. And 143 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: there's another fifteen to twenty to thirty thousand coming in 144 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: a caravan and they have no clue how they're going 145 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: to deal with this. So yes, this is going to 146 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: have an impact in the next selection because Americans are 147 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: tired of this administration not being honest with them, not 148 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: being honest with them on the border security issue, not 149 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: being honest with them on COVID, on natural meeting and 150 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: all this other stuff. They're sick of the lie. So 151 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: heck you up going to play out in the election. 152 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: I think we're going to take back the House in 153 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: a big way. How much fear do you think there 154 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: is when you see Joe Biden's approval rankings tanking like 155 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: they are basically across Congressman all facets. Right, We talked 156 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: about earlier in the show that he's lost the public 157 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: trust on COVID, certainly on the economy, Democrats just don't 158 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: even seem to understand the very rubrics or basics of 159 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: how our economy works. Where does this lead? Right? And 160 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: the answer might be to a majority in the House, 161 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: which would be great in a majority in the Senate, 162 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: But is Joe Biden going to be able to lead 163 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: basically after this year? Where are we headed. No, it's 164 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: it's bad where we're headed. You're right. Economically, they got 165 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: the dumbest plan in history. Their plan is lockdown the economy, 166 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,559 Speaker 1: spend like crazy, pay people not to work, help people. 167 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: You can't be evicted if you don't pay a rent, 168 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: and then for everyone is paying their rent and everyone 169 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: who is working, Oh, by the way, we're going to 170 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: raise your taxes. Literally the dumbest economic plan you could 171 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,239 Speaker 1: ever see. And then what do they do. Also they're 172 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: telling people particually in New York yesterday, they're telling people, oh, 173 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: you were heroes of year ago healthcare workers, but now 174 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna fire you. You don't do what government says, 175 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: even if you have natural immunity to totally stupid. That's 176 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: their economic plan. So, of course there are people who 177 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: got some common sense in the Democrat Party, a few 178 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: of them at least, who are saying this is great. 179 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: And you saw a few people vote against some of 180 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: this package over the last few weeks that they were 181 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: putting together this three point five three. In those package, 182 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: you saw some of them vote against it because they 183 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: got at least some common sense, and they go, oh, 184 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: the folks I represent are seeing all the Bologna that 185 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: we're doing. They're not going to be pleased with this. 186 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: How am I going to win reelection? So yeah, it's 187 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: having an impact. Joe Biden hasn't led the first nine 188 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: months when he controls Congress, when his party controls Tyers, 189 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how he's going to lead at all 190 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: when we take back the House and the Senate next 191 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: year comers from Jordan. We obviously want to focus as 192 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: much as we can here on the way forward in 193 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: the future, but there are some unfinished bits of business 194 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: from the past that I do know many in our 195 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: audience want resolution of, want clarity on, and that certainly 196 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: includes what we now know more than ever. I mean, 197 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: we've known for years was the Russia collusion hoax under 198 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: the Trump administration. There is an ongoing probe, right the 199 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: Durham investigation, the former US attorney from Connecticut leading this. 200 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: There has been an indictment now of a lawyer who 201 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: essentially was laundering Clinton campaign OPO research to the FBI 202 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: and lying about it. That's the allegation. So we're starting 203 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: to see the real origins of this. Do you think 204 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: there's more coming in the Durham probe and do you 205 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: think there'll be any real accountability for what was done 206 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: to the Trump administration? Now, great question. I'm cautiously optimistic, 207 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why, because remember, the indictment on 208 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: the false statement to the FBI wasn't a false statement 209 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: made to John Durham by mister Zussman. It wasn't a 210 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: false statement made to Durham's investigative team. It was I 211 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: said to someone last week, I said, it wasn't a 212 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: false statement. It was the false statement. It was the 213 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: false statement made to the FBI Jim Baker, the Chief 214 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: Council of the FBI on September sixteenth, twenty sixteenth, when 215 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: this whole Sharad began. So Durham's going all the way 216 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: back to the beginning and said, what you guys did 217 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: started on a false statement made to not anybody but 218 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: the Chief Council of the FBI and mister Baker. That's 219 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: pretty significant. So and it was. Plus it was a 220 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven page indictment. These normal false false statements the FBI, 221 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: are you know, a couple of page saying Okay, they 222 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: lie to the investigative team doing the investigation. That's not 223 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: the case here. So I think that's unique. I think 224 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: that's distinctive, and that says something when you see a 225 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: twenty seven page indictment. So I'm custiously optimistic. But we'll 226 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: have to wait and see. The problem, of course, was 227 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: we would hope for this information from Durham a year 228 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: and a half ago, and now we're getting it now. 229 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: But we'll just have to see. And what do you 230 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: make Congress before we let you go? And we appreciate 231 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: Congress and Jim Jordan of Ohio spending some time with 232 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: us here on the Clay and Buck Show. Why can't 233 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: we see, if not all, certainly most of the footage 234 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: from the so called insurrection on January sixth? That's people 235 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,119 Speaker 1: ask me that, and I, you know, with an intel background, 236 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: I say that that smells fishy to me. Yeah, well 237 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: you saw the judge did release some of it last week, okay, 238 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: And I thought I thought that was a good thing. Look, 239 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: the hallmark of a free society, free government. There's transparency 240 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: you can't have. You can't have Hillary Clinton saying oh no, no, 241 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: my emails. You're not going to get to see those 242 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: even though they were supposed to. You can't have all 243 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: this that gap Jim come, you can't have you can't 244 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: have unelected people like Million Fouty making decisions that all. 245 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: The hallmark of how our system is supposed to work 246 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: is transparency in accords with the Constitution. So I'm for 247 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: releasing all that information to make sure that Americans can 248 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: see it so we know exactly what exactly what took place. 249 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: And I'm also for anyone who did wrong to be 250 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: held accountable. If you did wrong that day on January six, 251 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: you should be prosecuted. And guess what, that's exactly what's 252 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: happening to those people who did wrong. That's the way 253 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: it's supposed to work in our country, and we want 254 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: to make sure continues to do so. Congressman Jordan always 255 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: appreciate you come by to hang out with us.

It's 266 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: a function of math.

Actually here he is saying that, you know, 295 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: because we're all looking back at this debacle of the 296 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: withdrawal and how it went down the way that it did. 297 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: Commander McCann, I'm sorry. Sentcom Commander McKenzie is saying that 298 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: they wanted to leave twenty five hundred troops. I won't 299 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: share my personal recommendation to the president, but I will 300 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: give you my honest opinion, and my honest opinion in 301 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: view shaped my recommendation, I recommended that we maintained two 302 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: thousand five hundred troops in Afghanistan, and I also recommended 303 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: earlier in the fall of twenty twenty that we maintained 304 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: four thousand, five hundred at that time. Those are my 305 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: personal views. I also have a view that the withdrawal 306 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: of those forces would lead inevitably to the collapse of 307 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: the military forces and eventually the Afghan government. Clay. This 308 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: is something that's going to be debated a lot because 309 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has now tried to say that unless 310 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: they withdrew on the previously agreed to timetable, the Taliban 311 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: was going to engage in a major offensive, which would 312 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: have brought US troops into combat in a substantial way. 313 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: But if that's the case, then the twenty five hundred 314 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: number doesn't really makes sense because the twenty five hundred 315 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: can work to support Afghan forces that we're fighting, which 316 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: as we know, all melted away and stopped fighting very rapidly. 317 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: But that only worked as long as the ceasefire was 318 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: in place between the US and the Taliban, which had 319 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: been in place for a long time since the Trump administration. 320 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: If it was going to be open warfare with the Taliban, 321 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: we're going to need more than twenty five hundred troops. 322 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: But if what the Biden administration says is true, then 323 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: why were the general saying leap behind twenty five hundred troops? 324 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying doesn't make sense. Something's up. Yeah, 325 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: And honestly, I think we've caught Joe Biden in another 326 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: lie buck because if you play twenty six, cut cut 327 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: twenty six here, you just heard the statements from McKenzie 328 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: about wanting twenty five hundred troops on August nineteenth. To 329 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden told George Stephanopolis exactly the opposite of that. 330 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: He's basically saying his general's never said that. So somebody's 331 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: lying here, and it sounds like to me it's Biden. 332 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: Your time military advisers warned against with drawing on this timeline. 333 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: They wanted you to keep about twenty five hundred troops. No, 334 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: they didn't. It was it. That wasn't true. That wasn't true. 335 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: They didn't tell you that they wanted troops to stay. No, 336 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: not at not in terms of whether we were going 337 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: to get out in a time frame all troops. They 338 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: didn't argue against that. So no one, no one told 339 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: your military advices did not tell you No, we should 340 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: just keep twenty troops. It's been a stable situation for 341 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: the less several years. We can do that, we can 342 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: continue to do that. No, no one said that to 343 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: me that I can recall Joe. I mean to Joe 344 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: Biden first of all, what he can recall to be 345 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: fair and open. Really he I mean, I'm being honest 346 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: with everybody. There's yeah, no joke, I don't remember. We 347 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: could all understand that that might be reality. None the 348 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: looks does not make us sleep soundly at night in 349 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: this country. But anyway, beyond that play, someone's lying. I mean, 350 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: either either Joe doesn't remember or someone's lying. I'm not 351 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: sure which one's better or worse. I think Joe Biden's lying, 352 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: and I think it's also possible. I mean again, I 353 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: think Joe Biden's defense for a lot of these lies 354 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: is honestly his incompetence and his failed mental state. I 355 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: was looking at this. We need to talk. We talked 356 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: about the Axios poll and how no one trusts Joe 357 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: Biden anymore. I snagged this because I looked at it 358 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: and I was like, this is crazy. Fifty six percent 359 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: of people right now buck don't believe that Joe Biden 360 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: has mental faculties capable of being president fifty six percent 361 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: according to the most recent poll that is out there 362 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: analyzing his overall mental state. And frankly, I question who 363 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: the forty four percent? And I guess we've reached that 364 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: number with ninety five percent of the media willing to 365 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: lie in favor of Joe Biden's mental state. So think 366 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: about it to be if we had an honest media. No, 367 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: it's it's very well said. I mean it's it's a 368 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: total and complete joke. Opposite of a total incomplete joke. 369 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: How about my guy, Mike Lindel, he invented my pillow 370 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: and that they started at all with my pillow.

So that is 395 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: not a big surprise, but you may have to search 396 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: out a little bit harder than you ordinarily would. As 397 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: we talked with Congressman Jim Jordan at the top of 398 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: our two here of the program about what's going on 399 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: with the budget. One of the big issues I think 400 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: that's going on as we work our way through this 401 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: budget process is every year the Democratic Party has become 402 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: more and more divorced from the idea of understanding basic business. 403 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: And I'm going to play a couple of clips here 404 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: from people who just don't understand the basic rules of economics. 405 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: And not surprisingly, Jensaki leading the charge of the Biden 406 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: administration on this three point five trillion reconciliation bill, she 407 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: was asked about the possibility of taxes going up basically 408 00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: through the charges for products rising because of taxes going 409 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: up for corporations, and I want you to listen to 410 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: her completely a logical response to that question. The Joint 411 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: Committee on Taxation say more than sixteen percent of taxpayers 412 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: would see their taxes increase under the bill. That's we've 413 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: proved by the House Ways and Means Committee. Will the 414 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: President sign that film, Will he insists on the changes 415 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: so that he will maintain his commitment that taxes won't 416 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: go up on people making four hundred thousand dollars a year. 417 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: I have not looked at the document. Obviously, the president's 418 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: commitment remains not raising taxes for anyone making less than 419 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars a year. There are some and 420 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if this is the case in this 421 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: report who argue that in the past companies have passed 422 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: on these costs to consumers. I'm not sure if that's 423 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: the argument being made in this report. We feel that 424 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: that's unfair and absurd, and the American people would not 425 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: stand for that. Well, that's what business does, Jensaki, When 426 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: their costs increase. In order to make a profit, they 427 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: have to increase what they are charging customers or else 428 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: they lose money. That's the very foundation of basic level 429 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: business knowledge. And I don't care whether Jensaki thinks bucket's 430 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: unfair and absurd that that's the basic rule of capitalism. 431 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: But this is the kind of lack of knowledge we're 432 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: dealing with, principle for an economy in the hands of 433 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: social justice warriors should be a terrifying thing to everybody 434 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: because they do not understand, i mean, the basics of 435 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: supply and demand of costs. They ignore this stuff constantly. 436 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean, the Democrats are really the Americans largely now 437 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: the American Socialist Party, or they share a lot of 438 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: DNA and a lot of hopes and dreams with what 439 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: we would consider straight up European socialists. And all you 440 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: have to do is, you know, you look to our 441 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: south and you see a country, for example, like Venezuela 442 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: or Cuba. But Venezuela is the example I have in 443 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: mind where if you run an economy on fair as 444 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: in on social justice. Another these terms are used on equity, right, 445 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: you run it, not equity like the stocks that one trades, 446 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: but on equity as in what is a fair outcome 447 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: according to people in power, you get disaster. I mean 448 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: that's actually at the heart of the Venezuelan crisis. As 449 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: everybody knows, the Venezuelans used to be pretty well off, 450 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: certainly by South American and Western standards. As a nation. 451 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: They have the largest proven oil reserves in the world, 452 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: larger even than Saudi Arabia. And yet it's a country 453 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: that has had trouble feeding itself in recent years. And 454 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: this is because clay One and they instituted price controls 455 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: because the rich, bad capitalists, we're making things too expensive. Jensaki, 456 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: you would think from the sound bite would say, well, 457 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: the Majuro regime they're really about fairness, because they said, 458 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: you know, a dishwasher doesn't cost X, let's make it 459 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: cost why just because we say so. That was the 460 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: beginning of the spiral. Also, of course, land appropriation, redistribution, 461 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: governed intervention, government seizure, lawlessness, and crime in the streets. 462 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of things that democrats in this 463 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: country are comfortable with and like as a tool of 464 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: policy happen in Venezuela. But you know, Clay, it's gotten 465 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: so bad there that the last couple of weeks the 466 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: Maduro regime has had to start outsourcing to the private 467 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: sector state run agricultural and food producing industries because the 468 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: people are sick of what they call the Maduro diet, 469 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: which is quasi starvation. Because when you don't have incentives aligned, 470 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: when you don't have people that can make a profit, 471 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: that are going to benefit, and where there's no upside 472 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: or downside to efficiency and doing things the right way, 473 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: you get bread literal breadlines. Now, I know we're not 474 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: quite at breadlines, folks, but if you apply the same 475 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: principles and understanding, you see why what Jensaki says makes 476 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: Clay the capitalist want to do, you know, backflips and 477 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: throw things at the wall. Yeah, and here's that's clip 478 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: one from Jensaki. Here's clip two where she says the 479 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: three point five trillion all our reconciliation package will actually 480 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: cost nothing. There's not a disagreement about the fundamentals of 481 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 1: what we're trying to achieve. And there is agreement that 482 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: we need to address the climate crisis, that we need 483 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: to cut costs for childcare, for college, that we need 484 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: to make it easier for women to rejoin the workforce, 485 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: we need to rebuild and modernize our infrastructure. So there's 486 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: agreement on that. There's a basic discussion that needs to 487 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: happen or is ongoing. We're right in the weeds of 488 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: it now on what the size of the package looks like. 489 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: But I will also note, and we've done this a 490 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: little bit over the past couple of days, but that 491 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: this package, the reconciliation package, would cost zero dollars. So 492 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, what we are, the case we're making 493 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: here is that there needs to be agreement on the 494 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: different components. There's broad agreement on the goals, and then 495 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: there needs to be agreement on what the revenue pay 496 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: for us are. That's a lie, like if you like 497 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: your doctor, you can keep your doctor, it's an intentional, 498 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: malicious and meaningful lie. Yeah. And what I would say 499 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: is again, it also reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of basic economics. 500 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the equivalent what the Biden administration 501 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,880 Speaker 1: is arguing when they say it has a cost of zero, 502 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: is the equivalent of saying, hey, Santa Claus buys all 503 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,120 Speaker 1: of the presence that he puts underneath the tree. It 504 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: doesn't cost any of the families anything. You might need 505 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: to turn the radio down if you have young kids 506 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: in your car, because I don't want to disabuse them 507 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: of their incredible notion here. But it's a fantastical reality 508 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: that you would argue it's a form of magical monetary policy. 509 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: This modern monetary idea, the three point five trillion dollars 510 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: is coming directly out of American families pockets, and it's 511 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: being given to the government. And that three point five trillion, 512 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: which frankly, I believe the American people could use in 513 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: a more efficacious manner to grow the economy, is instead 514 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: going to be given to the government and wasted, as 515 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: most government programs do, on excesses which are not remotely 516 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 1: necessary for the country to grow in a prosperous way economically, 517 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: and so it's a direct why to say that there 518 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: is no cost here, that it caused zero. And it's 519 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: akin to Santa Claus brings every Christmas present, and so 520 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: Christmas doesn't cost anything to anybody. That's what they're basically arguing, 521 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: a fantastical Santa Clause based economic policy in the Biden 522 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: White House right now. You want to restell me that 523 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: something is wrong when the Democrats start using words they 524 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: don't have to use to describe things that otherwise would 525 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: be very straightforward. You know, when they start using terms 526 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: like undocumented, what does that even mean? It's a nonsense term. 527 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: When they say things about the debt clay or about 528 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: the budget rather like it won't have any cost, what 529 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: does that mean? When they say pay fors they're going 530 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: to use pay fors. There's another word for pay for us. 531 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: It's called tack. They are changing the words they use 532 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: to obscure the actual impact and intent of their policies 533 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: because the ideological left is driving the Democrat Party and 534 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: they don't want the center of the country, or enough 535 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: of the center of the country to catch on to 536 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: what's going on such that they'll actually suffer political consequences, 537 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: and the ramifications of this will not be known in 538 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: time for the mid terms to actually punch back at 539 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats. So that's why they're using all this Listen 540 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: for you here, all this fuzzy language investments. Investment is 541 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: government spending, which means taking money from you and me 542 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: and the people listening to this show, and then spending 543 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: it on things that Nancy Pelosi believes should get more 544 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: funding that, you know, address the climate crisis. There's something 545 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: in this budget Bill Clay about, and I'm not kidding 546 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: tree equity. I don't even know what tree equity. Do 547 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: you know what tree equity? Oh, I don't know what 548 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: tree equity is. People that I thought that oak trees 549 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: and magnolia has got along really well. I didn't know 550 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: that the oak trees were oppressing the maple trees or whatever. 551 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, tree equity is in there under the Green 552 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: New Deal section, which of course they're calling combating climate change. 553 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: The fact that she says there's agreement about all these things, 554 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: there's absolutely not agreement. She's in a fifty fifty divided 555 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: Senate environment, she's in a handful of House seats giving 556 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: the Democrats leverage a Biden administration that is underwater approval rating, 557 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: circling the toilet bowl, and there's agreement on everything they 558 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: want to do on the biggest tax increase of our lives. 559 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: That's where we are. And by the way, since all 560 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: of you out there understand that money doesn't grow on trees, 561 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: that we can't have a Santa Claus economic policy, you 562 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: might want to save some money.

If 587 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: you want to call in, tell us about a conundrum 588 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: you may be facing for the shot or job law 589 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: situation that's playing out in a lot of states across 590 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: the country right now. But one thing that we'll spend 591 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: more time in a few moments here is the increasingly 592 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: obvious religious zeal with which many of the Fauciites approach 593 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: all things COVID mitigation, lockdown, vaccination, all of it. And 594 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: how some of us have been warning all along that 595 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: this is going to be used the same mentality of 596 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: compliance and shut up. And the experts know what needs 597 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: to be done here, no matter how many times they 598 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: fail and how stupid they look, they know what needs 599 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: to be done. And there'll be other areas of public 600 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: policy that very much affect your life where the government 601 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: is going to try to micro manage things for you 602 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: because they're saving the planet. That's what the whole Green 603 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: New Deal climate change catastrophism mindsets about, right. I will 604 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: never forget a few years ago when Greta Thunberg was 605 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: I think sixteen at the time. She's an adult now 606 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: and a public figure, so we are allowed to criticize her. 607 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: One of the reasons the Democrats liked Greta Thunberg so 608 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: much was that they all worshiped the child emperor of 609 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: climate change. And if you said anything about how this 610 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: is bizarre, she's sixteen. She doesn't know how a pizzeria works, 611 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: never mind how the global economy should work. You were 612 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: shouted at for being a child basher. That was the term, Claire. 613 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: Were you ever called the child basher for criticizing Greta 614 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: Because I was once or twice and I wasn't even bashinger. 615 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: I was making fun of the adults who listened to her. Yeah, 616 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: that was the whole. I mean, I understand they try 617 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: to paint you into a corner. Right the minute you 618 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: come out and respond to someone who's stepping into the 619 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: public arena, and they were under the age of a teen, 620 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god, how dare you disagree 621 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: with somebody under the age of eighteen, which was again 622 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of the Democrat plan, right. They don't actually 623 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: attack the substance of what you say, they attack your 624 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: ability to say it. So if you criticize Black Lives Matter, 625 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: it's not a criticism of Black Lives the matter, it's 626 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: an endorsement of your own racism or your own white fragility. 627 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: And if you said something negative about Greta Thunberg, it 628 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: was a function of you hating kids not disagree, which 629 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: is eke, which is also insane, of course, but it's 630 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: it's a human it's a human shield tactic, and that's 631 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: why they liked it. I mean, every adult who listened 632 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: to Greta Thunberg when she was going to the un 633 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: and on CNN should be deeply ashamed. But I think 634 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: this is great because when the left play, when the 635 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: crazy left goes after the crazy left, it is a 636 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: highly entertaining spectacle because you're watching people that have neither 637 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: principles nor sanity go after each other. And you know, 638 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: it's like the Irano Rock War when Kissinger said you 639 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: hope they could both lose. Here is Greta, who is 640 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: now an adult so they can't play. They're like, oh, 641 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: she's just a kid. Why are you you remember when 642 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: as I love it, She's like, how dare you? Whatever 643 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: we're supposed to be, Oh my gosh, she's challenging the 644 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: world to save itself from climate change. Here she is 645 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: mocking the Biden administration on climate change leadership issues. This 646 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: is not about some expensive, politically correct green act of 647 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: bunny hugging or blah blah blah, build back better blah 648 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: blah blah, green economy blah blah blah net zero by 649 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty fifty blah blah blah net zero by 650 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: twenty fifty blah blah blah net zero blah blah blah, 651 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: climate neutral blah blah blah. This is all we're here 652 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: from our so called leaders words, words that sound great 653 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: but so far has led to no action. And the 654 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,959 Speaker 1: climate change is a religious belief for people who think 655 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: they're too smart for religion, and she is a high 656 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: priest of this religion. Play. I honestly believe she could 657 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: get up there and say climate change and then just 658 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: say blah blah blah blah blah blah blah the whole 659 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: time and people would clap in that audience like trained seals. 660 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter what she says. Yeah, and we talked about 661 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: this before. I mean, I literally spend no moments of 662 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: my life worried about climate change. I just zero zero. 663 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there are lots of things that I'm concerned about. 664 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: The fact that we just had a new murder rate 665 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: record of growth going back to nineteen sixty from the FBI. 666 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: The fact that we're about to have the highest tax 667 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: increase of all time, the fact that we have a 668 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: president who is I believe mentally incapable of analyzing tough 669 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 1: decisions and understanding data to be able to make reason 670 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: choices as it pertains to leading our nation's response to COVID. 671 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: Those are just a few of the things that I 672 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: think about and worry about on a day to day basis. 673 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: Climate change, literally, I do not think about it other 674 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: than when we occasionally play a clip or I scroll 675 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: through the news feed and see that it's a story 676 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: of the day. I turned to page I mean, I 677 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: just really don't spend any time on it at all. 678 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: I mean I could. There's interesting conversations to be had 679 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: with people about things like, you know, us role in Afghanistan. 680 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: You can get into some back and forth and understand 681 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 1: that at least there are competing values in that's right. 682 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: The climate change catastrophists are just looney tunes. I mean 683 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: they really aren't. I can't even have a conversation with 684 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: them because it has gone into that realm of the 685 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: brain where there should be, in my opinion, a relationship 686 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: with God in some sense of an actual meaning beyond 687 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: the here and now. They have filled it with you know, 688 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: mother Earth and we have to protect her. But not 689 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: if it means they actually have to take shorter showers. 690 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: You Clay had private jets or not? Have they get 691 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: to be in the private jets. They're not going to 692 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: sell you their homes on Martha's Vineyard or in Malibu 693 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,839 Speaker 1: at a discount for some reason, even though they think 694 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: the coasts are gonna be underwater in ten years. It's 695 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: so strange how that happened We've got more COVID madness 696 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 1: to talk about here. In a moment, our buddy, doctor 697 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: Marty McCarry had some thoughts on natural immunity. Plus these 698 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: videos of NBA players, one in particular, going megaviral, so 699 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: the sports world, Clay dominating the news world. Who would 700 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: have known that the athletes would make more sense than 701 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: the fauciites love to see it? Buck, what'll play some 702 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: of that for you? That's all coming up in just 703 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: a few minutes. Stick around team.
