Get some of your VIP emails 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: a little bit later. A tough weekend in the news 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: cycle once again for the Biden Harris campaign because Joe 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: Biden appeared in public and proceeded to speak and walk, 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: and that's not a good look for the Biden campaign. 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: When Biden shows up and does things, everyone goes, oh 12 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 1: my gosh, this guy. It's not only I think the 13 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: gasp of this guy's the president, there's also the end 14 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: he thinks he should be president for four more years. 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: That is just too much for any reasonable person to bear. Also, 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: the Iowa poll numbers. This is a des Moines Register 17 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: and Seltzer poll. Who is considered the pollsters pollster out 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: of Iowa, Donald Trump at fifty percent, Joe Biden at 19 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: thirty two percent, RFK Junior at nine percent. Trump up 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: eighteen points on Biden in Iowa is Landslide Electoral College territory. 21 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,839 Speaker 1: If that holds, I don't think anybody disagrees that that's 22 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: what that would be. I know we're six now, wait 23 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: five five months out, four and a half, four four 24 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: and a half, four and a half months out, fourth 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: basically be four months from I mean the election is 26 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: November fifth, so we're exactly four months away in July fourth. 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: This is going to come very quickly, as we all know. 28 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: Right the time period I feel like in the election 29 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: year of January to June feels like an eternity. And 30 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: then once you get into the summer months, because September 31 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: October fly by as like almost it feels like one day. 32 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: So we will continue to look at these numbers and 33 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: what they indicate also interesting, Claire, I don't think we 34 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: talked about this in the first hour. Pew Research says 35 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of voters are quote double haters, dislike 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: both the Republican and Democrat candidates. This is the highest 37 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: number in history, and it is twice what it has 38 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: been in twenty twenty, twenty twelve, two thousand and eight 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: going way back. So there's a lot of antipathy in 40 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: this election cycle right now, and perhaps one of the 41 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: other ways that we can take a look at this 42 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: big piece Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan, a bunch of big 43 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: names of the New York Times on the resistance to 44 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: a new Trump administration has already started. Clay, we would 45 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: have expected this. I don't think if Joe Biden was 46 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: doing well, they would be running this piece at this time, 47 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: this early on. But it is effectively, I think, meant 48 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: to be a calming mechanism for Democrats to the degree 49 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: that it can be that they will do. They will 50 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: pull every trick they can help, every activist, judge, every 51 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Soros funded DA, you know, whatever they can do to 52 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: try to stop the Trump agenda. And one thing I 53 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: thought was particularly noteworthy in this piece. They are stockpiling 54 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: abortion medicine. I mean they're actually and they're saying. This 55 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: is from Jay Insley, the governor Washington. He says five 56 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: Democratic governors have established stockpiles of MEFI pristone to guard 57 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: against the Trump administration, using federal power to stop its 58 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: intrastate distribution New York, California, Massachusetts. This is interesting because 59 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: the federal government can just decide very and has I 60 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: think this is in many cases an abuse of the 61 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: interstate Commerce clause, and this is a huge problem. But 62 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: the government can say, well, even if you're going to 63 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: a state where the thing is okay, you can't cross 64 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: the state lines to do the thing that's okay. So 65 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: even if mif At Pristo. But I mean, they're really 66 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: freaking out about this. Well, we didn't even hardly talk 67 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: about it, I don't think. But Friday's Supreme Court decision 68 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: about the whether or not the challengers had standing to 69 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: challenge collectively, I think it's basically just known as the 70 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: Morning After Pill, right, and it was nine to Ozho 71 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: that they didn't have standing. And we'll see what Supreme 72 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: Court opinions come out with presidential immunity and certainly the 73 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: how the Sarbaines Oxley Act can be applied on the 74 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: Jan six related cases. But I think what they're running 75 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: into is it's really hard to get Trump on abortion. 76 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: And remember when he ran in twenty fifteen, Maureen Dowd 77 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: asked Donald Trump, have you ever paid for an abortion? 78 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: And Trump responded, that's a really interesting question and just 79 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: moved on. My point on that is Trump appointed the 80 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: justices that got Roe v. Wade overturned Roe v. Wade 81 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: was a disaster of a federal case. But what he 82 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: has said so far is just every state should have 83 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: the right to do whatever they want. And I think 84 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: that's hard to mobilize on. Combine that buck. 85 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 2: With I do think on twenty twenty two they had 86 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 2: a lot of success with oh democracies on the ballot. 87 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 2: Remember Michael Beschlos was on MSNBC saying, I don't know 88 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: if I'll be executed or not if the Republicans take 89 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: back Congress. Republicans took back the House, and basically nothing's happened. 90 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: I think that it is. And when you're trying to 91 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: put your chief political rival in prison for the rest 92 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: of his life, it's hard to argue that you're the 93 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 2: stewards of democracy. What do they run on. That's why 94 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 2: I think they have to replace Biden, because he's everything 95 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: he's done is a failure. 96 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: I think if you were to do a sane and honest, 97 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: side by side comparison of the extreme things done to 98 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: Trump and the extreme things done by Trump, we can 99 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: Let's let's start with Tom. 100 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: It's a great analogy. 101 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: Yes, extreme things done to Trump. The first sorry, the 102 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: Russia collusion hoax, which was a hoax. That is not 103 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,119 Speaker 1: an exaggeration at all. As we know, even the Muller 104 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: probe was unable to find anything having to do with 105 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: Russia and the Trump campaign working together to steal the election. 106 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: Not a single vote was changed by Russians hacking into machines, 107 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: but they used, as I always say, the process is 108 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: the punishment. So the Russia collusion hoax, that is an 109 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 1: extreme thing done to Trump. The first impeachment of Trump, 110 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: the second impeachment of Trump, the holding of four criminal indictments, 111 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: four indictments to drop so that they all happen in 112 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: the election year. Okay, the so do you just put that? 113 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Put that in the column. The changing of New York 114 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: state law so that Trump can be sued for a 115 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: an alleged sexual assault from thirty years ago, right, I 116 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: mean that was basically they changed the law so that 117 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: now you can be civilly sued for something that the 118 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: statute of limitations exist for a reason. You just can't 119 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: defend yourself against things that happened thirty years ago. That 120 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: someone says you did a thing, and you say, well, 121 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: I mean I didn't do the thing, So how are 122 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: you proving? But they went after Trump on that the 123 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty million dollars of four hundred and 124 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: eighty million dollars of judgments against him. I mean, I know, sorry, 125 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: this is going on for a long time because of 126 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: all the things, okay, that's in the a column of 127 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: extreme things done to Trump? What are the extreme things 128 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: that Trump has done? The Muslim band. Supreme Court ended 129 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: up upholding that, by the way, it wasn't a Muslim 130 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: band that was hysterical. Lie. The saying both people people 131 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: along both sides were good, that's a lie. That's not 132 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: the only thing that I think that a reasonable person 133 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: could point to would be the post twenty twenty election 134 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: rhetoric from Trump, or the January or the rhetoric you know, 135 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: leading up to and on January sixth, and to this, 136 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: I would just say Trump wasn't in any way criminally 137 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: culpable for anything that happened on that day. And emotions 138 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: are running very high, and Democrats, Biden voters had been 139 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: rioting for months and it was like our sacred democracy 140 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: on display, even during you know, COVID and everything else. 141 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: So I'm just if you're going to do a fair okay, 142 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: January sixth, you know, that's the thing that they will 143 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: point to and say, but it wasn't a coup, it 144 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: wasn't an insurrection. It was one Republican or you know, 145 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: one right of center riot. You add up all the 146 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: other things they've done to Trump. Who are the real extremists, 147 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: That's really what this is all getting to, or rather, 148 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: who is using extreme political measures against their opponents? And 149 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: I think it's not a close call. I think it's 150 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: not close at all. This is why their argument is 151 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: not working. And I was mentioning, I'm seeing these ads 152 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: all over Georgia television, dementia or dishonesty about the prices 153 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: and inflation related issues that many families, not only in Georgia, 154 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: where I am for the next couple of days, but 155 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: all over the country. Georgia just happens to be a battleground. 156 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: That's why I think they have. 157 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: To pull the ripcord and end up with a new candidate, 158 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: because if you have a new candidate, you can go 159 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 2: back to running. Trump is an unprecedented threat to American democracy, 160 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: and insert new candidate is a better choice for America. 161 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: The problem that they have right now, Buck is that's 162 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: the campaign they ran in twenty twenty. Some of you 163 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 2: out there listening to us right now bought that argument. 164 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: You did, and you've had buyers remorse since we've taken calls. 165 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: People say, you know what, I was upset over COVID. 166 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 2: I was fearful. I didn't like the way that twenty 167 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: twenty was going, and Biden said, I'll bring back normalcy. 168 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: We got war in Europe, war in the Middle East. 169 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 2: Ten million illegals have entered our country on the southern border. 170 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:21,239 Speaker 2: Crime has skyrocketed, Your cost of goods has far exceeded 171 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 2: on average, your individual wage games which is a default 172 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 2: a tax. And you're looking around and you're saying, you 173 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: know what, nostalgically, the Trump era wasn't that bad. I'm 174 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: talking about middle of the road voters out there. They're 175 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 2: going to vote for Trump because his presidency was better 176 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: for the average person than Biden has been. And so 177 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 2: the only way you get the story back to Trump, 178 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 2: I think, is if you don't have an incumbent Democrat 179 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: president who has stunk it up. Now, look, I want 180 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: Biden to be the nominee because I think he has 181 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 2: to run on his job as president, and I think 182 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: he's done a really poor job but if they suddenly 183 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 2: pull the switcherrou and they put someone This is another 184 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: reason why I think it would not be Kamala right, 185 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: because they can tar and feather Kamala with Biden's failures. 186 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: If you can get someone in. 187 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: There who has not been in the White House, that 188 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: person can run the Biden democracy case against Trump in 189 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: a way that maybe gets them across the finish line. 190 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: I just don't think people are suddenly going to break 191 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: four and a half months out after you've had Biden 192 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 2: president for three and a half years. I don't think 193 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: you're suddenly going to convince people, hey, you know what, 194 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: Biden's actually done a good job. I want more of this. 195 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 2: I think he's dead in the water, and that doesn't 196 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: even factor in his dementia or his physical and mental 197 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: weakness on the global stage and on every single event. 198 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: That's why I think they're at the ripcord moment. They're 199 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: at the break the glass on the fire extinguisher moment. 200 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 2: And next week, the June twenty seventh, strangely scheduled presidential 201 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: debate I think has the potential for everybody to jump 202 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: right off the Biden team and say, you know what, 203 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: it's time for a change. You know, the person is 204 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: the most difficult to persuade on this, doctor Jill biden 205 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: Buck in my opinion, who has to know better than 206 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: anybody how bad a shape Joe's in and wants to 207 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: hang on to that power. 208 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: Just one more thing, you know, because I was talking 209 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: about how the the BLM rioted all summer in twenty twenty, 210 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: and that was considered not just it was it was 211 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: like a patriotic act. It was for racial presses whatever 212 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: which was. It was insane. It actually made everything worse 213 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: for everybody. A lot of people died because of what 214 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: BLM did in twenty twenty. But this is interesting to 215 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: me that they're the ACLU, as part of the resistance 216 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: two point zero is preparing to immediately challenge, upon a 217 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: Trump victory, the usage of the Insurrection Act to make 218 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: sure that Trump, by federal court order, is not able 219 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: to call in the National Guard or federal forces to 220 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: stop massive rolling riots. Gee, everyone, what why. 221 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 4: Would the ACLU right now be preparing, according to the 222 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 4: New York Times, not some right wing blog, why would 223 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 4: the ACLU be trying to tie a future Trump administration's 224 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 4: hands when it comes to putting down massive destructive riots. 225 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: It's almost like they're preparing for this if they don't 226 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: get their way, just like they were in twenty twenty 227 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: by the way, with all the boarded up stores. 228 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 2: And remember, they're gonna reject the thing they claimed was 229 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: so unacceptable to do. They're going to reject the validity 230 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 2: of the election results in twenty twenty four to two, right, 231 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: They're going to try to get Kamala Harris to refuse. 232 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: That's why they changed the law to make it less likely. 233 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: But this, I'm telling you, they're going to do everything 234 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: that they claim Republicans are going to do. 235 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: Just get ready for it. 236 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: That's where we're headed, I think, so we should get 237 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: ready for it.

Right now, 268 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: as we set four and a half months out the 269 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: Iowa pole, were Biden's fallen behind by eighteen points, that 270 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 2: really the the only pathway to victory he has is 271 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: sweeping the big ten states that he has to win. 272 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: He can't lose one of them Wisconsin, minnes Wisconsin, Michigan, 273 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: and Pennsylvania. And if that's true compared to the map 274 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: that Trump has, at some point the panic sets in. 275 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: And I think we're starting to see the panics set 276 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: in where there isn't some sort of expected outcome. I 277 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: saw the axios this morning. I always like to see 278 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: what their lead story is. It's that in the wake 279 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: of the Hunter Biden trial, a lot of people inside 280 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: the Biden team are saying, why in the world did 281 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: Biden run? Because they had bought into the idea that 282 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: this Hunter Biden thing was all It's a hoax, the 283 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: Ashley Biden mess, the Halle Biden mess, all of the 284 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: crises that surround his family. They bought into, Oh, this 285 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 2: is just not real. And when the court case happened. 286 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 2: You have to say, oh, my, this is real. Like 287 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: he was sleeping with his dead brother's wife and he 288 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 2: got her on crack and he broke up his own marriage. 289 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 2: And Biden knew all this and he ran for president. Anyway, 290 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: I think there's a holy crap moment kind of setting 291 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 2: in for a lot of people who've had blinders on 292 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 2: as it pertains to Biden. 293 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that the fact that Biden 294 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: sits right now as President of the United States is 295 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: a remarkable testament to the powers of political delusion in 296 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: this country. I mean, this guy, this guy was a loser, 297 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, decades ago. I mean, this has been known 298 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: on the presidential stage. I mean at the national level. 299 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: You know, if Delaware wants to have this clown as 300 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: their center, I mean that's on Delaware. But the fact 301 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: that they managed to do this, and remember, he wasn't 302 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: even really leading. It's not like he came out of 303 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: the gates and everyone said, oh, it has to be Biden. 304 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: The machine made a decision and he was the end 305 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: product of that machinery. 306 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: So he got smoked in Iowa and New Hampshire by 307 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 2: all those voters, and then Cliburne said, you're the choice 308 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 2: the If you're watching Game five of the NBA Finals tonight, 309 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: how about downloading Prize Picks.

It was interesting there were 328 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: people at the campus protests who were wearing masks because 329 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: of COVID and just disease spreading in general from aerosol 330 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: eyes virus. But then there were more and more who 331 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 1: also came out to say, no, it's because we don't 332 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: want our jobs to be taken away from us, because 333 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: we're a part of these protests. So it was a combination. 334 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was more their neurotic anti COVID stuff. 335 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: There were some of that. They said that. But point is, 336 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: you're not seeing a lot of masking these days for 337 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: COVID the way you used to, which is interesting because 338 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: people still get colds and viruses and things and almost 339 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 1: like it never worked, and we've always known this. It 340 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,360 Speaker 1: didn't work to stop the Spanish influenza outbreak of nineteen eighteen. 341 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: But anyway, this is another part of the equation, though Clay. 342 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: If you can't see someone's face, you don't know who 343 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: they are. If society can't tell who people are, the 344 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: criminal elements have a freer hand. And that is why 345 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 1: I think it is so interesting that the Governor of 346 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: New York, Kathy Hokeel, is pushing for a ban on 347 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: masks in the subways. There's also people who are calling 348 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: for a ban on masks at protests, which I think 349 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: is interesting. That's another level of it, if you will. 350 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: So there are states that have had this in place 351 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: for a long time. What's interesting is that in the past, 352 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why they ban masks was because 353 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: of the history of the ku Klux Klan, all right, 354 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: and they didn't want there to be this ability to have, 355 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, racists gather together, hide their identity and terrorize 356 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: a community or a neighborhood. So the left was in 357 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: favor of that. But now they got rid of mask 358 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: laws in some places, or at least they've stopped enforcing 359 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: them because of COVID. New York previously this is the 360 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: AP banned public mask wearing by groups of three people 361 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: or more under a law dating back to the nineteenth century, 362 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: when upstate tenant farmers dressed as Native Americans and rose 363 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: up violently against landlords. The law was lifted when COVID 364 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: nineteen struck. Until two years ago, riders were required to 365 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: wear masks on public transit as well, so there was 366 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: a mask They went from a masked ban to a 367 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: lift of the ban to a mask mandate, and now 368 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: it looks like they're going back to a ban Why 369 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: because criminals wear masks. Some of us said this all along. 370 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: I just think it's interesting to they can't figure out 371 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 1: what they wanted. They've have been truly on every side 372 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: of this issue, every side of the mask and I 373 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: think we have audio of them discussing this, if I'm 374 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: not mistaken. 375 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 2: This is Kathy Hokel and Eric Adams. They had a 376 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 2: press conference to discuss issues with crime on the subway 377 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,439 Speaker 2: and considering banning the wearing of masks. It's just so interesting. 378 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 2: There's probably a ton of you listening to us on 379 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 2: war who have been having to deal with the mask 380 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: mandate all over New York City. Remember Buck, I know 381 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 2: you do. When they were going to make you show 382 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 2: your VAX card to go to McDonald's in New York City, 383 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 2: Like you couldn't even go into a fast food restaurant 384 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 2: without having your VAX card on you to say nothing. 385 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 2: Of course, you had to have masks, and you had 386 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: to put your mask on between bites and between drinks, 387 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 2: and they would walk around and make sure that they 388 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: were on top of this. Listen to them now, Kathy 389 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: Hokele and Eric Adams making a decision that you know what, 390 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: criminals actually are taking advantage of this and they're where 391 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: masks and we need to maybe change that. 392 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 5: Listen, people have hid under the guise of wearing a 393 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 5: mask for COVID to commit commit criminal acts and bill acts. 394 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 5: And I've seen down all the time to go back 395 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 5: to the way it was of COVID when you should 396 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 5: not be able to wear a mask a protests and 397 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 5: our subway systems and other places. 398 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: I agree with him, there's no reason, there's no reason 399 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: to allow people. And people say, well, it's a public 400 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: safety issue. It's a public safety issue. The mask mandate 401 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: that they pushed was a published what they said was 402 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: for public safety. They were wrong about the safety implications, 403 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: but for the you know if basically if you can 404 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: mandate them, you can mandate not them, or you know 405 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: that you can't. 406 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: Wear them, the opposite of a mandate. I do think 407 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 2: that it's very important, not only on the subway, but 408 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: I think protesters should not be able to wear masks, 409 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 2: and you should be arrested immediately if you try to 410 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 2: protest wearing a mask, because that to me is indicative 411 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 2: of an intent to one not actually stand up for 412 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 2: whatever you believe in, but two to potentially engage in 413 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 2: criminal acts and avoid all responsibility for it. 414 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 3: And so your point is, yes, KKK. 415 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 2: They war hoods for a reason because they didn't want 416 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 2: to be identified and they wanted to be able to 417 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 2: terrorize people with their political beliefs. Well, aren't Isn't that 418 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: the reason why many protesters are wearing masks and those 419 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 2: what are those kaifas or however you pronounce it, the 420 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: scarf that they lap around their face cafias. The reason 421 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: they're doing the same thing now to avoid being held 422 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 2: responsible for what they are doing. 423 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 3: While they're protesting. 424 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: Eric Adams is right on this, And a little bit 425 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:52,360 Speaker 2: of praise to Eric Adams. 426 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 3: He did you see a speech I shared it. 427 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 2: I think it was last week Wednesday or Thursday, in 428 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 2: the wake of the respond to the Nova protest in 429 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: basically saying, hey, these people all went to an innocent rave, 430 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 2: of all things. I believe it was the Nova Rave 431 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 2: where two hundred and sixty some odd innocent people were 432 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 2: murdered and where many people were kidnapped, and many people 433 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 2: in New York City showed up to protest in favor 434 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: of what happened at that event, and Eric Adams came 435 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 2: out and forcefully said this is unacceptable. And I give 436 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: him credit for that. As the mayor of New York City, 437 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: he's been far better on these issues than Joe Biden has. 438 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 2: I don't think he's been a great mayor. I think 439 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: Buck you'd have to say he's been better than the 440 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 2: disaster that Deblasio was. Now he's not Rudy, he's not Bloomberg, 441 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 2: but he's not as bad as to Bill Deblasio was, 442 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: who may be the worst mayor in any of our 443 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 2: lives in terms. 444 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 3: Of his impact. 445 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 2: And he's at least sometimes getting to the right result 446 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: even with the craziness of New York City. 447 00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: I think I think Eric Adams is I don't think 448 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: he has the managerial skill set to do what is 449 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: necessary in New York City in turn around, I think 450 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: he sometimes lacks the political will as well. However, he's 451 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: not malicious. He's not intentionally upending aspects of life in 452 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: New York City because he thinks that people need to 453 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: suffer more, because that's what justice demands. Deblasio was effectively 454 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: malicious in his approach to the city. It was you know, 455 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 1: if there's more crazy homeless people throwing things at you 456 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: on the streets, like that's the society we need to 457 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: live in, because that's fair. You know, Deblasio was intentional destruction. Adams, 458 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: I think sometimes can be in over his head, but 459 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that he is hoping that things get 460 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: worse for New Yorkers, because shared misery is what socialism 461 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: is all about at the end of the day, Like 462 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: Deblasio was ideologically predisposed toward New York's destruction and unfortunately 463 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: got very far because when he took over New York 464 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,159 Speaker 1: it was in the best shape it has been in 465 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: in my in our lifetime, and pretty much every respect. 466 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: But the mask issue on the subways is just also 467 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: I think a little bit of a desperation because remember 468 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: when they deployed the National Guard and then they got 469 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: rid of it, you know, they lasted for a week 470 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: or two because that wasn't going to do anything. Fundamentally, 471 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: The problem is they have to lock up more criminals. 472 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: They have to lock up people who hurt people for 473 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: longer periods of time. There have to be punishments for 474 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: people who assault you know, New York City subway riders 475 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: and they have to be taken out of circulation. They 476 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: have to be taken out of you know, being able 477 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: to walk around and continue to do this. If you 478 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: have a city where people can get arrested fifty or 479 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: one hundred times without real punishment, you're going to have 480 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: a city where people are in fear on the subway 481 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: and everything around that. I mean, even the mask issue, well, 482 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: I agree with it. It's nibbling around the edges. But 483 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: Democrats are terrified of disparate impact through the enforcement of 484 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: criminal justice laws. Who's going to end up in Rikers 485 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: Island in larger numbers if they enforce the criminal justice 486 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: laws as they are written, not going to be Trump Vhoters. 487 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 2: I can tell you that, Buck, when we come back 488 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 2: to see the story that's starting to trend a little 489 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: bit that the Biden people are nervous that Joe Biden 490 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 2: has to stand up for ninety minutes for the debate 491 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 2: at CNN next week, and that they are potentially trying 492 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: to get it changed so that both candidates sit. I 493 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 2: talk to some people inside of the Trump team and 494 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 2: this was one of the things that they cared about 495 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 2: the most. They didn't want necessary. I mean, they would 496 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: have preferred audience all those things. One of the things 497 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 2: they cared about the most was they want Biden standing 498 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: because they legitimately aren't sure that he can manage to 499 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 2: stand for ninety minutes, walk out onto the stage, do 500 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 2: all those things. Can you believe we're at a point 501 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 2: where one of the candidates would be contemplating the physical 502 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 2: advantage they get from merely requiring someone to stand for 503 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 2: ninety minutes? Has that ever been a calculus that's ever 504 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 2: occurred that you can remember of an actual debate. And 505 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, if Joe Biden, Joe Biden gets dizzy 506 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: and falls down on stage, Kamala Harris is the Democrat nominee. 507 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 1: That's how I see it. And I think that is 508 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: that I don't think they can come back from that. 509 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: And by the way, you know this because you've done it, 510 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 2: standing under those bright lights is not easy to do 511 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 2: staring into them. There are a lot of mechanical things 512 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: that the average person who hasn't stood underneath those big 513 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: Kleague lights can think about. And I'm telling you, I'm 514 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 2: not convinced that Biden is going to avoid a frozen 515 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 2: moment in ninety minutes if he has to stand up. 516 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: I mean, how many times has he stood up for 517 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 2: ninety minutes and answered questions in the past four years? 518 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 3: Has he done it? 519 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: Maybe once at a long debate, I mean at a 520 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 2: long press conference. He hasn't done any years. Whatever they're 521 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: going to juice him up with. I could use some 522 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 2: of that to finish the yeas on my book. I 523 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 2: can tell you I could use some of that. I 524 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: could use some of that Biden juice. Whatever it is. 525 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: What organizations and causes are your current credit card company supporting? 526 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 3: Do they align with your values? 527 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 2: New and better credit card that supports our shared values 528 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 2: out there.

They confessed. I believe 564 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: the guy's name is McGuire, James McGuire. I think I 565 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 2: got that right. 566 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 3: Team. You can let me know if I'm wrong, but 567 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 3: I give credit to him. 568 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 2: He went on social media over the weekend and he said, hey, 569 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,479 Speaker 2: full disclosure. I bought into the Very Fine People hoax. 570 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 2: I thought that it was legitimate and that Trump had 571 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 2: said that Neo Nazis were very fine people at the 572 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 2: Charlottesville situation. 573 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 3: I would say, Buck, I'm curious if you would agree. 574 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: I know Russia was more impactful in terms of what 575 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 2: went on there, but there were a few hundred or 576 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 2: a few thousand dollars spent on the Russian ads on Facebook. 577 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 2: Anybody who's ever bought Facebook ads knows how inconsequential that 578 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: is when you're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars 579 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: being spent on political ads. I think the Very Fine 580 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 2: People hoax might have been the most defective lie told 581 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 2: about Trump because so many people still believe it, even 582 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 2: if they are intelligent Otherwise people. This is why I 583 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: always think you and me and everyone out there, the 584 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 2: millions of people out there listening to us, we know 585 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 2: the very fine people hoax occurred. I think there's still 586 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 2: a lot of reasonable, very legitimate people who have success 587 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 2: in fields that trust the media to be honest with 588 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 2: them and have no idea they relied to about that. 589 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: I haven't seen data on this in a while, but 590 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: I know that three years into Trump's term, you still 591 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: had an enormous number of Democrats who believed that Russia 592 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: had actually changed votes by the way in the election. Yeah, 593 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: I could go back and find you some of the polling, 594 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: but you know, for fifty percent, maybe even sixty percent 595 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: of Democrats thought that Russia had actually changed the votes 596 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen years into Trump's election. So that was 597 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: a another very effective lie. I mean, the whole Russia 598 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: collusion thing. I remember Trump told me this in the 599 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: Oval awful awful, sorry, Oval office probably feels awful if 600 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: you have to be stuck there too much when you're 601 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: president after a while, right, Who didn't one of the 602 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: presidents describe the White House as feeling like a prison. 603 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: But Trump told me in the Oval Office that and 604 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: I thought this was a very astute, very Trump company. 605 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't even make any sense. Yeah, Russia collusion thing, 606 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: You're you're gonna work with Russia to become president, and 607 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: then Russia is gonna have a thumb on you to 608 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: be able to destroy you at any point in time. 609 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: Trump Trump knows Putin and his ilk far too well 610 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: to think that. 611 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 2: That also understands leverage and negotiation. You would never want 612 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 2: to pry in that position. 613 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: This is like, are you gonna go borrow ow money 614 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 1: from a loan shark if you don't need the loan 615 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: sharks money. I mean, it just makes no sense. It 616 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: was a dumb idea. There was no part of it 617 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,439 Speaker 1: that held together if you just thought it through. It's 618 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: gonna work with the Russians to do some you know, 619 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: hacking into voting machines or whatever. The whole thing was idiotic. 620 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: Entire Democrat aligned mainstream media believed it, and still I 621 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: think a lot of them believe it. If you go 622 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: on like the Bill Marsha would say, Russia collusion was 623 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 1: the collusion was a hoax. They still have Democratic guests 624 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: are going, oh no, it's you know, there was the 625 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: thing and the you know the meeting and the Trump Tower. 626 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: They they won't give it up. They won't give it up. 627 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: The reason why I think the Very Fine People hoax 628 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 2: was so impactful is Biden cited it as the entire 629 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 2: reason he ran for president in twenty twenty and as if, oh, 630 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 2: I saw what happened at Charlottesville. Now, if we had 631 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 2: an honest media, we basically have hundreds or thousands of 632 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 2: Charlottesville's taking place every single week all over this country 633 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 2: since October seven. And Joe Biden claimed he was going 634 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 2: to restore the soul of the nation. I would argue 635 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 2: that he's made the soul of the nation far more 636 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 2: toxic than maybe it's ever been in any of our lives. 637 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 2: But the fact that we have guys like this who 638 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 2: are intelligent, coming out and saying, oh, I'm now seeing 639 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 2: the truth makes me optimistic that increasingly people are opening 640 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 2: their eyes, particularly young people, black, White, Asian and Hispanic, 641 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 2: who may well be breaking for Trump in numbers we've 642 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 2: never seen for a Republican candidate. I think there's a 643 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 2: lot of reason for optimism. Time to add on some steam, 644 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 2: and I'm seeing that steam all over Georgia with the 645 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 2: dementia or dishonesty ads, which I give credit. I think 646 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 2: they're really effective and I've seen them a ton. Just 647 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 2: watching regular programming down here in Georgia with my family 648 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 2: over Father's Day weekend. 649 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,800 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, everybody. We'll be talking to 650 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: you more tomorrow. See you then,
