WEBVTT - Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 06-07-22

<v Speaker 1>You're listening to The Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

0:00:14.937 --> 0:00:17.937
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

0:00:17.977 --> 0:00:23.097
<v Speaker 1>wherever you get your podcasts. It stay two for nearly

0:00:23.137 --> 0:00:26.577
<v Speaker 1>ten thousand migrants marching through southern Mexico, many from Venezuela,

0:00:26.657 --> 0:00:29.897
<v Speaker 1>heading straight for the US border. They timed their journey

0:00:29.897 --> 0:00:32.257
<v Speaker 1>to coincide with the Summit of the America's in Los

0:00:32.257 --> 0:00:34.977
<v Speaker 1>Angeles this week. Migration activists say this group could be

0:00:34.977 --> 0:00:37.897
<v Speaker 1>one of the region's largest caravans in recent years. So

0:00:38.057 --> 0:00:41.297
<v Speaker 1>what's the Biden administration doing about this? Well, the borders

0:00:41.337 --> 0:00:43.977
<v Speaker 1>are says that they're sending billions of dollars in Central

0:00:43.977 --> 0:00:48.017
<v Speaker 1>America to create economic opportunity. That'll fix it fast. We'll

0:00:48.057 --> 0:00:56.977
<v Speaker 1>talk about this in hold the line, Welcome, Hold on.

0:00:57.177 --> 0:00:59.657
<v Speaker 1>I'm Buck Sexton. So the border is still a mess.

0:00:59.897 --> 0:01:02.897
<v Speaker 1>You may not know what's going on with it these

0:01:02.937 --> 0:01:04.977
<v Speaker 1>days because the media is not really talking much about

0:01:04.977 --> 0:01:07.617
<v Speaker 1>it because they do have, of course, an election coming up,

0:01:07.697 --> 0:01:11.657
<v Speaker 1>and the Democrats know this issue does not pull well

0:01:11.737 --> 0:01:15.777
<v Speaker 1>for them, that the Biden regime refuses to enforce the

0:01:15.857 --> 0:01:19.137
<v Speaker 1>law and meaningful fashion when it comes to our southern border,

0:01:19.177 --> 0:01:22.977
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to immigration, in general, and with Title

0:01:23.057 --> 0:01:26.057
<v Speaker 1>forty two just kind of hanging on for now. They

0:01:26.097 --> 0:01:30.897
<v Speaker 1>have some tool in place that they're willing to use

0:01:30.977 --> 0:01:33.217
<v Speaker 1>to turn back people who have entered into this country

0:01:33.657 --> 0:01:37.057
<v Speaker 1>illegally and in violation of immigration laws. But Paddle forty

0:01:37.057 --> 0:01:39.777
<v Speaker 1>two is not going to last forever. And even with

0:01:39.857 --> 0:01:41.577
<v Speaker 1>Paddle forty two, you have a lot of people who

0:01:41.577 --> 0:01:43.817
<v Speaker 1>are coming into the country illegally. In fact, in April

0:01:44.137 --> 0:01:45.897
<v Speaker 1>was over two hundred thousand. It was the most that

0:01:45.977 --> 0:01:47.777
<v Speaker 1>had been in two decades, the most it had been

0:01:47.777 --> 0:01:52.097
<v Speaker 1>in fact, for the entire Biden regime thus far. So

0:01:52.137 --> 0:01:54.257
<v Speaker 1>there's a big problem, there's no question about that. At

0:01:54.257 --> 0:01:58.257
<v Speaker 1>our southern border, it is a mess. So what does

0:01:58.337 --> 0:02:01.817
<v Speaker 1>the border Czar Kamala Harris say is going to be

0:02:01.817 --> 0:02:04.617
<v Speaker 1>done about this? One turns out Vice President Harris, who

0:02:04.617 --> 0:02:06.857
<v Speaker 1>has been to the border we believe one time, maybe

0:02:07.177 --> 0:02:09.857
<v Speaker 1>announced more than one point nine billion dollars a new

0:02:09.897 --> 0:02:15.977
<v Speaker 1>private sector commitments to create economic opportunity in northern Central

0:02:15.977 --> 0:02:19.497
<v Speaker 1>America as part of her role addressing the root causes

0:02:19.537 --> 0:02:22.577
<v Speaker 1>of migration from Central America. In May of twenty twenty one,

0:02:22.737 --> 0:02:25.897
<v Speaker 1>the Vice President launched the Call to Action for businesses

0:02:25.897 --> 0:02:29.737
<v Speaker 1>and social enterprises to make significant commitments to promote economic

0:02:29.737 --> 0:02:33.577
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for people in the region. Aggregate commitments under this

0:02:33.617 --> 0:02:37.737
<v Speaker 1>initiative now total more than three point two billion dollars. Now, look,

0:02:38.457 --> 0:02:43.177
<v Speaker 1>it's fine to be trying to help with economic prosperity

0:02:43.297 --> 0:02:46.897
<v Speaker 1>and a near neighbor, in this case Central America, But

0:02:47.057 --> 0:02:49.177
<v Speaker 1>does anybody think this is actually gonna deal with the

0:02:49.217 --> 0:02:51.297
<v Speaker 1>fact that we have hundreds of thousands of people coming

0:02:51.297 --> 0:02:54.457
<v Speaker 1>into the country illegally right now? And also how likely

0:02:54.617 --> 0:02:57.177
<v Speaker 1>is it that the economic calculus for somebody from say

0:02:57.217 --> 0:03:01.057
<v Speaker 1>Al Salvador or Honduras or Guatemala of the Northern Triangle countries,

0:03:01.777 --> 0:03:04.337
<v Speaker 1>We'll think, you know what, my country is so prosperous

0:03:04.377 --> 0:03:07.617
<v Speaker 1>right now, who needs America? That's pretty unlikely. To look

0:03:07.657 --> 0:03:10.577
<v Speaker 1>at the GDP per capita, if you look at wages,

0:03:10.657 --> 0:03:13.537
<v Speaker 1>you look at the likely financial future of somebody in

0:03:13.537 --> 0:03:16.617
<v Speaker 1>those countries versus somebody who comes into America, including of

0:03:16.657 --> 0:03:20.017
<v Speaker 1>course millions of people come into America illegally. And the

0:03:20.137 --> 0:03:22.337
<v Speaker 1>numbers really speak for themselves on this one. I mean,

0:03:22.337 --> 0:03:24.777
<v Speaker 1>we could see people are voting with their feet, so

0:03:24.857 --> 0:03:29.377
<v Speaker 1>to speak. Southwest border encounters in fiscal year twenty nineteen,

0:03:29.417 --> 0:03:31.857
<v Speaker 1>it was nine hundred and seventy seven thousand. Right fiscal

0:03:32.057 --> 0:03:35.537
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty pandemic hits four hundred and fifty eight thousand

0:03:36.057 --> 0:03:41.697
<v Speaker 1>bisically year twenty twenty one one point seven three four million,

0:03:42.217 --> 0:03:44.377
<v Speaker 1>and now just in April of twenty two, two hundred

0:03:44.417 --> 0:03:48.217
<v Speaker 1>and thirty four thousand, thousand, one month. Understand, we're going

0:03:48.257 --> 0:03:50.737
<v Speaker 1>to be close to what we were at for fiscal

0:03:50.817 --> 0:03:53.617
<v Speaker 1>year twenty twenty two, which was a record setting year

0:03:53.697 --> 0:03:59.377
<v Speaker 1>for illegal migration. So the situation is not improving at all.

0:03:59.977 --> 0:04:02.937
<v Speaker 1>And in fact, everybody who's paying attention to the border,

0:04:02.977 --> 0:04:06.377
<v Speaker 1>everybody who's watching this play out, will say the moment

0:04:06.417 --> 0:04:08.977
<v Speaker 1>Total forty two is gone, which is really only used

0:04:08.977 --> 0:04:11.457
<v Speaker 1>for Central American and Mexican migrants to tell them they

0:04:11.457 --> 0:04:14.337
<v Speaker 1>can't come into the country, then there'll be a huge surge.

0:04:14.377 --> 0:04:17.217
<v Speaker 1>Already under way. You have people making their way to

0:04:17.257 --> 0:04:20.497
<v Speaker 1>the to the United States in a caravan. But beyond that,

0:04:20.497 --> 0:04:23.297
<v Speaker 1>there are many loopholes that exist even for those who

0:04:23.337 --> 0:04:26.777
<v Speaker 1>show up from Mexico or Northern Triangle countries in Central

0:04:26.817 --> 0:04:30.497
<v Speaker 1>America illegally. Um and then beyond that there are those

0:04:30.537 --> 0:04:32.217
<v Speaker 1>who come from all over the world, people from the

0:04:32.257 --> 0:04:36.777
<v Speaker 1>Middle East, from from Asia, from Africa, South America. Here is,

0:04:36.817 --> 0:04:41.057
<v Speaker 1>for example, a central I'm sorry, a Venezuelan rather South

0:04:41.057 --> 0:04:45.417
<v Speaker 1>American migrant who was interviewed and said that he wants

0:04:45.417 --> 0:04:54.977
<v Speaker 1>the US to go fix the economy in Venezuela. A

0:04:57.137 --> 0:05:09.617
<v Speaker 1>need a job in Iszuela, Beatira, fix the economy in

0:05:09.657 --> 0:05:12.737
<v Speaker 1>my country, and maybe I would stay there. They're saying, well,

0:05:12.777 --> 0:05:15.137
<v Speaker 1>that's not going to happen. That's the problem because we

0:05:15.137 --> 0:05:19.497
<v Speaker 1>don't run Venezuela. Venezuela went pretty deep into the socialism

0:05:19.537 --> 0:05:23.177
<v Speaker 1>realm and destroyed its economy despite having the largest proven

0:05:23.177 --> 0:05:26.897
<v Speaker 1>oil reserves in the world. So, yeah, this is not

0:05:26.937 --> 0:05:29.737
<v Speaker 1>going to change anytime soon. But understand this, the Democrats

0:05:30.337 --> 0:05:33.337
<v Speaker 1>fundamentally do not want this to change. They're in charge

0:05:33.417 --> 0:05:35.377
<v Speaker 1>right now. You got the White House, you got a

0:05:35.417 --> 0:05:38.217
<v Speaker 1>majority in the House and a defacto majority in the Senate,

0:05:38.617 --> 0:05:41.097
<v Speaker 1>so they're calling the shots. At the federal level. Immigration

0:05:41.177 --> 0:05:43.857
<v Speaker 1>is a federal issue, so they talk about how, oh,

0:05:43.897 --> 0:05:45.577
<v Speaker 1>we're going to do something at the border, but they

0:05:45.577 --> 0:05:49.457
<v Speaker 1>don't actually want to do anything because this situation they

0:05:49.537 --> 0:05:53.497
<v Speaker 1>believe benefits their long term electoral prospects and their power.

0:05:53.657 --> 0:05:56.137
<v Speaker 1>Most importantly, of all, that this will mean when there's

0:05:56.177 --> 0:06:00.097
<v Speaker 1>an eventual amnesty for the fifteen twenty, perhaps more than

0:06:00.137 --> 0:06:02.977
<v Speaker 1>twenty million illegal immigrants in the country at that point,

0:06:03.857 --> 0:06:07.137
<v Speaker 1>that they will be able to count on a lot

0:06:07.177 --> 0:06:09.457
<v Speaker 1>of votes from the illegal immigrants who came to the

0:06:09.457 --> 0:06:12.817
<v Speaker 1>country who are eventually given some form of amnesty. I

0:06:12.857 --> 0:06:14.617
<v Speaker 1>know they'd say, oh, well, they won't be able to vote. Well,

0:06:14.617 --> 0:06:17.257
<v Speaker 1>actually they will. They'll just take their time with passing

0:06:17.257 --> 0:06:20.177
<v Speaker 1>that legislation after they get the initial amnesty. This is

0:06:20.177 --> 0:06:25.257
<v Speaker 1>why Democrats, even very dull Democrats, even very dumb Democrats

0:06:25.257 --> 0:06:29.417
<v Speaker 1>like Beto O'Rourke, are saying, yeah, the border situation is

0:06:29.457 --> 0:06:34.777
<v Speaker 1>fantastic because it's effectively in a wide open entryway for

0:06:35.377 --> 0:06:38.697
<v Speaker 1>illegal immigrants who will eventually vote Democrat and who will

0:06:38.737 --> 0:06:41.497
<v Speaker 1>have children in America who will likely support the Democrat party.

0:06:41.537 --> 0:06:45.017
<v Speaker 1>So he loves the situation. Watch and we all agree

0:06:45.097 --> 0:06:47.217
<v Speaker 1>that we want the border to be better. In fact,

0:06:47.417 --> 0:06:51.577
<v Speaker 1>I think the border is pretty great right now. Borders

0:06:51.697 --> 0:06:53.617
<v Speaker 1>pretty great right now. I mean, they sometimes just say

0:06:53.617 --> 0:06:55.177
<v Speaker 1>it out loud that they don't want this to stop.

0:06:55.217 --> 0:06:59.377
<v Speaker 1>They just don't want the American people overall to know

0:07:00.137 --> 0:07:02.937
<v Speaker 1>that they actually prefer this situation in the border. They

0:07:03.017 --> 0:07:06.577
<v Speaker 1>just don't want the American people to be aware of

0:07:06.617 --> 0:07:10.337
<v Speaker 1>how duplicitus and how dishonest the Democrat Party from the

0:07:10.377 --> 0:07:12.177
<v Speaker 1>top down, from buying the White House all the way

0:07:12.177 --> 0:07:14.257
<v Speaker 1>down the rest of the Democrat Party apparatus are on

0:07:14.257 --> 0:07:18.057
<v Speaker 1>this issue of immigration. They say they recognize it as

0:07:18.057 --> 0:07:21.057
<v Speaker 1>an issue, but really they recognize it as an issue

0:07:21.577 --> 0:07:25.257
<v Speaker 1>insofar as they have to process these illegal migrants faster.

0:07:25.777 --> 0:07:28.857
<v Speaker 1>They don't actually want to stop the inflow of illegal migrants.

0:07:28.857 --> 0:07:31.817
<v Speaker 1>Certainly Beto O'Rourke, who is a moron but is a Democrat,

0:07:32.617 --> 0:07:35.217
<v Speaker 1>that is very much the way that they see this.

0:07:35.817 --> 0:07:38.457
<v Speaker 1>I will have more on this with Arizona Attorney General

0:07:38.457 --> 0:07:41.137
<v Speaker 1>and candidate for US Senate Mark Bernovitch when we come back.

0:07:41.817 --> 0:07:44.257

<v Speaker 1>Arab Policy Title forty two remains in limbo, but migrant

0:10:02.897 --> 0:10:06.337
<v Speaker 1>shelters in Bordertown say now is the time to prepare

0:10:06.377 --> 0:10:09.817
<v Speaker 1>for its end. With a massive migrant caravan already heading

0:10:09.857 --> 0:10:12.777
<v Speaker 1>toward at our border, many are concerned that the termination

0:10:12.777 --> 0:10:15.657
<v Speaker 1>of tittle forty two will open the floodgates even more

0:10:15.777 --> 0:10:19.577
<v Speaker 1>to illegal immigration. More than a year, Arizona's Attorney General

0:10:19.657 --> 0:10:22.217
<v Speaker 1>Mark Bernovich has been fighting to get the Biden administration

0:10:22.217 --> 0:10:25.617
<v Speaker 1>to do its job, from suing DHS Secretary Mayorchis to

0:10:25.697 --> 0:10:29.377
<v Speaker 1>the CDC to present Biden himself. A. G. Bernovich is

0:10:29.417 --> 0:10:32.417
<v Speaker 1>doing everything in his power to protect this community, stop

0:10:32.457 --> 0:10:36.177
<v Speaker 1>the White House from rescinding Tittle forty two. Burney, General

0:10:36.217 --> 0:10:39.177
<v Speaker 1>of the State of Arizona joins me. Now, A G. Bernovitch,

0:10:39.297 --> 0:10:42.457
<v Speaker 1>good have you, sir? Thank you bolling me. I really

0:10:42.457 --> 0:10:46.777
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it. So just tell me this. The end of

0:10:46.817 --> 0:10:48.937
<v Speaker 1>Tittle forty two would be a problem. But as I

0:10:49.017 --> 0:10:53.697
<v Speaker 1>understand it, mister Attorney General, the reality of Title forty two,

0:10:53.737 --> 0:10:57.057
<v Speaker 1>as it is at the border right now, whether it's Arizona, Texas,

0:10:57.097 --> 0:11:00.817
<v Speaker 1>you name it, is that they're not really using it

0:11:00.897 --> 0:11:07.137
<v Speaker 1>except against illegal Mexican and Central American migrant. What's going on? Yeah,

0:11:07.177 --> 0:11:09.577
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know you mentioned this that we haven't

0:11:09.617 --> 0:11:12.377
<v Speaker 1>been involved often so many lawsuits against the Biden administration

0:11:12.697 --> 0:11:15.177
<v Speaker 1>trying to force to do them to do their job.

0:11:15.537 --> 0:11:17.937
<v Speaker 1>Now we went into court, we let the coalition, our

0:11:18.017 --> 0:11:21.137
<v Speaker 1>lawyers argued that the Biden administration could not resend the

0:11:21.257 --> 0:11:23.737
<v Speaker 1>Title forty two. And what we had found out they

0:11:23.737 --> 0:11:25.457
<v Speaker 1>were doing was they would trying to play these games

0:11:25.457 --> 0:11:28.697
<v Speaker 1>where they were trying to create exclusions and exceptions for

0:11:28.897 --> 0:11:31.297
<v Speaker 1>people from certain countries, and the court told them they

0:11:31.657 --> 0:11:34.217
<v Speaker 1>could not do that. But we have seen the Biden

0:11:34.217 --> 0:11:37.017
<v Speaker 1>administration in the past when we sued him over the

0:11:37.137 --> 0:11:40.737
<v Speaker 1>permanent Guidance or that time, most temporary guidance, where they

0:11:40.737 --> 0:11:43.537
<v Speaker 1>were not supporting people deportation orders. You know, they would

0:11:43.537 --> 0:11:45.657
<v Speaker 1>tell the court they're doing it, and they would slightly

0:11:45.697 --> 0:11:48.017
<v Speaker 1>tweak the policy, and then they would say, well, we're

0:11:48.057 --> 0:11:51.217
<v Speaker 1>following that decision, but then they would change and create

0:11:51.217 --> 0:11:53.577
<v Speaker 1>a new policy. So the one thing that has been

0:11:53.697 --> 0:11:58.137
<v Speaker 1>very consistent is the Biden administration is trying to systematically

0:11:58.537 --> 0:12:02.097
<v Speaker 1>undermine the rule of law and basically eradicate our entire

0:12:02.137 --> 0:12:05.497
<v Speaker 1>southern border. I know, folks like we've talked about this

0:12:05.537 --> 0:12:07.577
<v Speaker 1>where we thought at one point they maybe wanted to

0:12:07.617 --> 0:12:10.057
<v Speaker 1>abolish ice, but it's clear they just wanted to radicate

0:12:10.137 --> 0:12:12.977
<v Speaker 1>the southern border. So that's why I keep adding to

0:12:13.017 --> 0:12:15.737
<v Speaker 1>go into court and keep getting these injunctions, keep getting

0:12:15.777 --> 0:12:18.017
<v Speaker 1>these restraining orders. Just to try to get the Bide

0:12:18.017 --> 0:12:21.977
<v Speaker 1>administration to do your actual job. Entitled forty two is

0:12:21.977 --> 0:12:24.377
<v Speaker 1>one of the last things we have left in our toolbox,

0:12:24.457 --> 0:12:27.857
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everything I can to save it. Here's a

0:12:27.937 --> 0:12:31.657
<v Speaker 1>list of some of the cases you've brought. Arizona v.

0:12:32.057 --> 0:12:37.657
<v Speaker 1>Garland challenging DHS fast Track Asylum system, Arizona VCDC challenging

0:12:37.697 --> 0:12:40.017
<v Speaker 1>the replication of Title forty two we were just discussing.

0:12:40.257 --> 0:12:44.777
<v Speaker 1>You've also challenged DHS's final guidance, challenging Biden administrations illegal

0:12:44.817 --> 0:12:49.217
<v Speaker 1>violation led into cancelation of border wall construction, and once

0:12:49.257 --> 0:12:53.577
<v Speaker 1>again challenging INTERM guidance. So you are not afraid to

0:12:53.617 --> 0:12:56.777
<v Speaker 1>take the Feds into court over this stuff. How have

0:12:56.897 --> 0:13:00.897
<v Speaker 1>these challenges played out? You're winning, some, losing some something

0:13:00.897 --> 0:13:04.857
<v Speaker 1>in between. What's going on? Yeah, I mean we unfortunately,

0:13:04.897 --> 0:13:07.217
<v Speaker 1>for example, in the border wall, you know that's still

0:13:07.217 --> 0:13:10.897
<v Speaker 1>a litigation. We didn't know we were successful at the

0:13:10.897 --> 0:13:14.177
<v Speaker 1>bending of Apple. We're continuing to litigate it. One thing

0:13:14.217 --> 0:13:17.137
<v Speaker 1>you did not mention is that I literally argued to

0:13:17.137 --> 0:13:19.537
<v Speaker 1>you a Supreme Court in February of the public charge rule.

0:13:19.857 --> 0:13:22.537
<v Speaker 1>And this is where the Biden administration tries is trying

0:13:22.537 --> 0:13:26.297
<v Speaker 1>to give government welware benefits to non citizens, and so

0:13:26.537 --> 0:13:28.537
<v Speaker 1>I'm very confident we're gonna win that case. We had

0:13:28.577 --> 0:13:30.897
<v Speaker 1>to take that all the way to the US Supreme Court.

0:13:31.337 --> 0:13:34.057
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got the restraining order to stop Title

0:13:34.137 --> 0:13:36.777
<v Speaker 1>forty two from being revoked, and you know, on the

0:13:36.897 --> 0:13:39.257
<v Speaker 1>permanent guidance, some of these other cases are still winding

0:13:39.257 --> 0:13:42.017
<v Speaker 1>the way through the courts, and unfortunately, what the Biden

0:13:42.017 --> 0:13:46.537
<v Speaker 1>administration is shown is a complete disregard not only for

0:13:46.817 --> 0:13:50.257
<v Speaker 1>administrative procedures, but they're shredding the constitution of the process.

0:13:50.297 --> 0:13:52.897
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm doing everything i can about to try

0:13:52.897 --> 0:13:55.257
<v Speaker 1>to hold them accountable and to try to force them

0:13:55.497 --> 0:13:58.657
<v Speaker 1>to just follow the existing law. And so you know,

0:13:58.697 --> 0:14:02.017
<v Speaker 1>we've been very successful in some cases. In some cases

0:14:02.057 --> 0:14:04.017
<v Speaker 1>we literally are having to take to the US Supreme

0:14:04.057 --> 0:14:06.937
<v Speaker 1>Court to make sure the court orders the Biden administration

0:14:07.377 --> 0:14:09.497
<v Speaker 1>just follow the law and do the right thing. So

0:14:09.697 --> 0:14:14.257
<v Speaker 1>with that in mind, what would need to happen for

0:14:14.537 --> 0:14:16.817
<v Speaker 1>I mean, right now, obviously a federal judges said Title

0:14:16.857 --> 0:14:20.337
<v Speaker 1>forty two cannot be rescinded as it currently stands. At

0:14:20.377 --> 0:14:23.097
<v Speaker 1>some point it will be rescinded. One would assume, right

0:14:23.137 --> 0:14:27.737
<v Speaker 1>it's a pandemic related CDC authority. So what would have

0:14:27.857 --> 0:14:32.137
<v Speaker 1>to happen for it to be legal and what would

0:14:32.137 --> 0:14:35.457
<v Speaker 1>be the change is necessary from your perspective that the

0:14:35.537 --> 0:14:38.657
<v Speaker 1>Bide administration could make so that they wouldn't get the

0:14:38.697 --> 0:14:41.017
<v Speaker 1>massive seert. I mean, we already have a huge caravan.

0:14:41.257 --> 0:14:43.737
<v Speaker 1>They asked him a ten to fifteen thousand on the way,

0:14:43.857 --> 0:14:46.137
<v Speaker 1>So what could they do differently? And then how could

0:14:46.137 --> 0:14:48.137
<v Speaker 1>we get and then what happens when title forty two

0:14:48.177 --> 0:14:52.537
<v Speaker 1>goes Yeah, Title forty two, I think we all recognize

0:14:52.937 --> 0:14:55.697
<v Speaker 1>it's like the little kid the story about holding the

0:14:55.697 --> 0:14:57.897
<v Speaker 1>finger in the diet. I mean, that's all we're doing.

0:14:57.897 --> 0:15:00.257
<v Speaker 1>These are stock out measures, and it's because of the

0:15:00.257 --> 0:15:03.297
<v Speaker 1>bid administration is feeling to build the wall, which when

0:15:03.337 --> 0:15:05.657
<v Speaker 1>it was working, they tried to resume the remain in

0:15:05.657 --> 0:15:09.297
<v Speaker 1>Mexico policy. They aren't importing people's deportation orders. They're trying

0:15:09.297 --> 0:15:13.577
<v Speaker 1>to incentimize to monetize people coming here by giving government benefits.

0:15:13.577 --> 0:15:16.057
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to stop that. So Tip forty two, what

0:15:16.137 --> 0:15:19.217
<v Speaker 1>we basically argued is that, look, if the Biden administration

0:15:19.257 --> 0:15:21.377
<v Speaker 1>wants to rescind it, what has been good for the

0:15:21.417 --> 0:15:23.977
<v Speaker 1>goose is good for the Gander and in accents, these

0:15:24.057 --> 0:15:27.297
<v Speaker 1>left wing groups, they always sue Republican administrations trying to

0:15:27.297 --> 0:15:30.177
<v Speaker 1>tell them they cannot change rules or policies without going

0:15:30.177 --> 0:15:33.617
<v Speaker 1>through the proper rulemaking process. So what we've said and

0:15:33.657 --> 0:15:35.977
<v Speaker 1>what the judge agreed with, is that if the Biden

0:15:35.977 --> 0:15:39.017
<v Speaker 1>administration wants to rescind to revolt Title forty two, they

0:15:39.057 --> 0:15:41.737
<v Speaker 1>have to go through the process, the legal process, and

0:15:41.817 --> 0:15:46.937
<v Speaker 1>that would include rulemaking and public notice in comment. And

0:15:47.017 --> 0:15:51.537
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, ultimately, if the administration wants to change that policy,

0:15:51.857 --> 0:15:54.177
<v Speaker 1>they can, but we've argued that they have to do

0:15:54.217 --> 0:15:57.137
<v Speaker 1>it in the legally correct way, and that basically means

0:15:57.177 --> 0:16:00.617
<v Speaker 1>the states get to have input saying this has happens

0:16:00.657 --> 0:16:03.737
<v Speaker 1>will affect us and this is how illegal immigration is

0:16:03.777 --> 0:16:06.977
<v Speaker 1>impacting us all over the country. So they have to

0:16:06.977 --> 0:16:09.297
<v Speaker 1>provide that notice and they have to provide public input

0:16:09.337 --> 0:16:12.857
<v Speaker 1>and notice and from the states as well. So you

0:16:12.897 --> 0:16:15.457
<v Speaker 1>are currently the attorney general in Arizona, you are running

0:16:16.057 --> 0:16:19.337
<v Speaker 1>for a Senate seat on the Republican side from your state.

0:16:19.457 --> 0:16:21.857
<v Speaker 1>You have a primary to get through here with your

0:16:22.817 --> 0:16:28.457
<v Speaker 1>primary opponent being Blake Masters. Trump. Donald Trump, former presidented States,

0:16:28.577 --> 0:16:31.897
<v Speaker 1>endorsed Masters and today he put out a statement I

0:16:31.897 --> 0:16:34.017
<v Speaker 1>wanted to let you react to at mister attorney general,

0:16:34.057 --> 0:16:36.537
<v Speaker 1>he said that Mark Ernovitch is such a disappointment to me.

0:16:36.977 --> 0:16:39.417
<v Speaker 1>He is the current Arizona Attorney general. And while he

0:16:39.497 --> 0:16:42.097
<v Speaker 1>understands what took place in the twenty twenty presidential election

0:16:42.417 --> 0:16:44.857
<v Speaker 1>and that it was rigden stolen, he only views it

0:16:44.857 --> 0:16:47.097
<v Speaker 1>as something he would not like to see happen again.

0:16:47.257 --> 0:16:49.897
<v Speaker 1>That was a statement that former President Trump put out.

0:16:51.137 --> 0:16:53.257
<v Speaker 1>How do you respond to that? I mean, I think

0:16:53.817 --> 0:16:56.377
<v Speaker 1>I've heard your policies, and I've seen a lot of

0:16:56.377 --> 0:16:59.057
<v Speaker 1>what you've you've done as attorney general. It would seem

0:16:59.057 --> 0:17:03.777
<v Speaker 1>to be in line with President Trump's ideology. So what

0:17:03.897 --> 0:17:08.537
<v Speaker 1>happened here? Yeah, you know, I can never control other

0:17:08.537 --> 0:17:10.297
<v Speaker 1>people are going to say or do. And what I've said,

0:17:10.377 --> 0:17:13.857
<v Speaker 1>I literally told President Trump this is that if you

0:17:13.977 --> 0:17:16.937
<v Speaker 1>care about securing the border, if you care about confirming

0:17:17.017 --> 0:17:19.537
<v Speaker 1>good federal judges that are divorced laws, it is and

0:17:19.697 --> 0:17:23.217
<v Speaker 1>not create policy. You care about low energy prices and

0:17:23.377 --> 0:17:26.777
<v Speaker 1>energy independence, if you care about low taxes, low regulation,

0:17:27.217 --> 0:17:30.417
<v Speaker 1>you go through that entire agenda. I've actually been there.

0:17:30.457 --> 0:17:32.737
<v Speaker 1>I mean I was the prosecutor and I began my

0:17:32.857 --> 0:17:35.537
<v Speaker 1>career game prosecutor protecting our communities. I worked in a

0:17:35.577 --> 0:17:37.577
<v Speaker 1>think tank called the gold Waters to where I wrote

0:17:37.577 --> 0:17:41.697
<v Speaker 1>extensively about federalism and low energy prices. And now as

0:17:41.737 --> 0:17:43.777
<v Speaker 1>an age, look at all I've done, whether we're suing

0:17:43.817 --> 0:17:47.897
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration of run constitutional vaccine mandates were literally

0:17:48.017 --> 0:17:49.897
<v Speaker 1>last year and I brought this up to the president.

0:17:50.217 --> 0:17:52.937
<v Speaker 1>The most important election case in the generation is literally

0:17:52.977 --> 0:17:56.537
<v Speaker 1>called Bernavichi DNC. And when the left wing groups tried

0:17:56.577 --> 0:17:59.337
<v Speaker 1>to come into places like Arizona, I fought them all

0:17:59.377 --> 0:18:03.297
<v Speaker 1>the way to the Supreme Court, and the court appelability

0:18:03.297 --> 0:18:06.737
<v Speaker 1>of states like Arizona and other states now to enact

0:18:06.777 --> 0:18:10.337
<v Speaker 1>election integrity measures that limit and restrict palliate harvest out

0:18:10.337 --> 0:18:12.697
<v Speaker 1>of precinct voting. So I've actually been in the forefront

0:18:12.697 --> 0:18:14.657
<v Speaker 1>of these fights. So you get a lot of folks

0:18:14.697 --> 0:18:17.297
<v Speaker 1>now that come up and they talk the talk. They've

0:18:17.337 --> 0:18:19.777
<v Speaker 1>never walked the walk, they've never actually been in the fight.

0:18:20.057 --> 0:18:21.657
<v Speaker 1>And then they can say a lot of things now,

0:18:21.897 --> 0:18:24.577
<v Speaker 1>but where's the evidence, where's the receipts? As kids saying

0:18:24.577 --> 0:18:27.017
<v Speaker 1>nowadays with what they've actually dined. And I have been

0:18:27.057 --> 0:18:29.337
<v Speaker 1>in the forefront of this and Alden at the end

0:18:29.337 --> 0:18:32.097
<v Speaker 1>of the day, I think it's important to be principled

0:18:32.137 --> 0:18:35.977
<v Speaker 1>Arizona taking on Mark Kelly because the stakes are so high,

0:18:36.017 --> 0:18:40.697
<v Speaker 1>and if you want someone that understands limited government, federalism

0:18:40.697 --> 0:18:44.777
<v Speaker 1>and conservative principles, then I'm the guy learning. General Bernovitch,

0:18:44.897 --> 0:18:46.777
<v Speaker 1>State of Arizona. Good to see you, Sara, Thanks for

0:18:46.817 --> 0:18:49.377
<v Speaker 1>being with us today. Thanks mart, Thank you very much.

0:18:51.697 --> 0:18:54.897
<v Speaker 1>January sixth, Committee's primetime dog and Pony show is set

0:18:54.897 --> 0:18:57.577
<v Speaker 1>for this coming Thursday. Public specto comes a week after

0:18:57.577 --> 0:19:01.017
<v Speaker 1>a former trade advisor to President Trump, Peter Navarro, was

0:19:01.057 --> 0:19:03.657
<v Speaker 1>placed in leg irons and arrested for resisting a subpoena

0:19:03.857 --> 0:19:06.417
<v Speaker 1>from the Committee. We'll have more on this situation with

0:19:06.457 --> 0:19:09.817
<v Speaker 1>Claremont Institute fellow Ben Weingarten in a moment, I'm sorry

0:19:09.817 --> 0:19:11.497
<v Speaker 1>about checking your home for a minute. I don't know

0:19:11.497 --> 0:19:12.937
<v Speaker 1>if you saw this, but there was a recent story

0:19:12.937 --> 0:19:15.057
<v Speaker 1>about an Arizona real estate agent that found the home

0:19:15.137 --> 0:19:17.417
<v Speaker 1>she lived and was listed for sale. The problem was

0:19:17.457 --> 0:19:19.417
<v Speaker 1>that she actually wasn't selling her home. She was the

0:19:19.497 --> 0:19:22.777
<v Speaker 1>victim of home title fraud, a devastating crime happening all

0:19:22.777 --> 0:19:25.057
<v Speaker 1>of the country. According to the experts at home title

0:19:25.057 --> 0:19:27.657
<v Speaker 1>lock The crime is incredibly profitable and hard to detect.

0:19:27.897 --> 0:19:31.217
<v Speaker 1>An identity thief simply creates a fake title transfer for

0:19:31.337 --> 0:19:33.977
<v Speaker 1>your home and refiles as the new owner that he

0:19:34.017 --> 0:19:36.057
<v Speaker 1>can take out loans on your home or sell it.

0:19:36.337 --> 0:19:39.777
<v Speaker 1>Typical identity theft services don't cover you, and neither Dove's

0:19:39.817 --> 0:19:43.617
<v Speaker 1>Homeowner's insurance. Home title lock does. Home title Lock puts

0:19:43.617 --> 0:19:46.097
<v Speaker 1>a barrier around your home's title the instant. They detect

0:19:46.097 --> 0:19:48.537
<v Speaker 1>anyone tampering with your homes title, They help shut it down.

<v Speaker 1>They help get your home back in your name. So

0:19:50.737 --> 0:19:53.097
<v Speaker 1>here's what you should do. Go to home titlelock dot com,

0:19:53.337 --> 0:19:56.337
<v Speaker 1>read the testimonials from FBI agents and government officials. Then

0:19:56.377 --> 0:19:58.017
<v Speaker 1>regish to your address to see if you're already a

0:19:58.057 --> 0:20:00.177
<v Speaker 1>victim and don't even know it. When you protect your home,

0:20:00.257 --> 0:20:02.457
<v Speaker 1>tell him buck Sexton sent you to get thirty free

0:20:02.537 --> 0:20:06.217
<v Speaker 1>days of protection hometitlelock dot com. Home titlelock dot com

0:20:06.217 --> 0:20:13.857
<v Speaker 1>will be right back with more. Hold the line. They

0:20:13.977 --> 0:20:17.377
<v Speaker 1>chose a different route. They didn't call my attorney. Instead,

0:20:17.457 --> 0:20:23.017
<v Speaker 1>they went with this shock and awe terrorist stretchy. Yeah,

0:20:23.257 --> 0:20:25.377
<v Speaker 1>let me go to the airport and then take me

0:20:25.457 --> 0:20:29.617
<v Speaker 1>with five agents like I'm an Al Qaeda terrorist rocked

0:20:29.657 --> 0:20:31.257
<v Speaker 1>me into a car and the next thing I know,

0:20:31.617 --> 0:20:34.937
<v Speaker 1>man in leg irons and handcuffs, strip search. I mean

0:20:34.937 --> 0:20:37.017
<v Speaker 1>it was not without comedy. I mean, at one point

0:20:37.057 --> 0:20:39.897
<v Speaker 1>the FBI agents couldn't find the door to go into

0:20:39.937 --> 0:20:42.977
<v Speaker 1>where I was supposed to go. The fingerprint machine didn't work.

0:20:43.017 --> 0:20:45.297
<v Speaker 1>But by the you know, people do not want to

0:20:45.337 --> 0:20:50.617
<v Speaker 1>sit in solitary confinement and leg irons, denied food, denied water,

0:20:51.017 --> 0:20:54.777
<v Speaker 1>denied an attorney and this is what we live in.

0:20:55.737 --> 0:20:58.697
<v Speaker 1>From wet House Trade advisor Peter Navarro speaking out on

0:20:58.777 --> 0:21:01.617
<v Speaker 1>becoming the first Trump aid to be indicted in the

0:21:01.617 --> 0:21:05.657
<v Speaker 1>criminal investigation and the events on January sixth and arrested. Obviously,

0:21:06.057 --> 0:21:09.817
<v Speaker 1>circumstances of that raised questions about the abuse of power

0:21:09.817 --> 0:21:12.537
<v Speaker 1>by the left, as in their abusing power and the

0:21:12.657 --> 0:21:15.137
<v Speaker 1>vindictive nature of their efforts to keep Trump out of

0:21:15.177 --> 0:21:17.937
<v Speaker 1>the White House and of course to punish members of

0:21:17.937 --> 0:21:21.657
<v Speaker 1>his administration after the fact. Join me now to dive

0:21:21.697 --> 0:21:25.497
<v Speaker 1>into this with us. Fellow at the Claremont Institute, Ben Weingarten, Ben,

0:21:25.497 --> 0:21:29.097
<v Speaker 1>how are you, buddy? Well? Buck? How about you? I

0:21:29.177 --> 0:21:32.457
<v Speaker 1>mean not great when I see that the Stasi are

0:21:32.497 --> 0:21:36.497
<v Speaker 1>alive and well courtesy of the Democrat run FBI. Here,

0:21:36.537 --> 0:21:41.297
<v Speaker 1>what the heck is going on? Yeah, this Peter Navarro case,

0:21:41.537 --> 0:21:45.537
<v Speaker 1>I think is a remarkable illustration of what is a

0:21:45.617 --> 0:21:49.577
<v Speaker 1>two tier, which is to say, injustice system that we

0:21:49.657 --> 0:21:54.337
<v Speaker 1>are currently suffering under as a country. And the split screen,

0:21:54.417 --> 0:21:56.577
<v Speaker 1>as I argue in a recent piece of The Federalist,

0:21:56.657 --> 0:22:01.097
<v Speaker 1>is remarkable. Between Hillary Clinton's campaign lawyer, Michael Sussman, who

0:22:01.137 --> 0:22:04.977
<v Speaker 1>gets off for clearly lying to the FBI with multiple

0:22:05.017 --> 0:22:08.857
<v Speaker 1>smoking guns, but he's a protected member of the regime,

0:22:08.897 --> 0:22:11.737
<v Speaker 1>and he's protected by a jerry truly of his peers

0:22:12.057 --> 0:22:14.337
<v Speaker 1>and a dain and a like minded judge in Washington,

0:22:14.457 --> 0:22:18.097
<v Speaker 1>d C. For lying to the FBI. And here you

0:22:18.177 --> 0:22:23.057
<v Speaker 1>have Peter Navarro who refuses to essentially submit to a

0:22:23.177 --> 0:22:30.577
<v Speaker 1>holy illegitimate sham Soviet Soviet show trial style committee, and

0:22:30.657 --> 0:22:33.097
<v Speaker 1>he gets shackled at the airport. He isn't even given

0:22:33.097 --> 0:22:36.297
<v Speaker 1>the courtesy of being given a call asked you if

0:22:36.297 --> 0:22:38.897
<v Speaker 1>he wants to see his lawyer turn himself in, Not

0:22:39.017 --> 0:22:41.137
<v Speaker 1>that he should be in this situation in the first place,

0:22:41.377 --> 0:22:44.777
<v Speaker 1>but he is clearly viewed as an enemy of the regime,

0:22:44.817 --> 0:22:47.897
<v Speaker 1>and consequently the regime comes down on him with its

0:22:47.937 --> 0:22:51.777
<v Speaker 1>full force really an unprecedented fashion here in terms of

0:22:51.777 --> 0:22:56.817
<v Speaker 1>this criminal contempt referral. But Michael Sussman walks free with

0:22:56.937 --> 0:22:59.737
<v Speaker 1>his head held high. It's a perfect illustration of a

0:22:59.777 --> 0:23:03.617
<v Speaker 1>two tier justice system, and it's been on stark display

0:23:03.657 --> 0:23:06.377
<v Speaker 1>for odyssey over the last five plus years, but this

0:23:06.497 --> 0:23:09.777
<v Speaker 1>is maybe the most obagious example of it. On that

0:23:09.817 --> 0:23:12.537
<v Speaker 1>to your justice system. You wrote in The Federalist that

0:23:12.937 --> 0:23:15.897
<v Speaker 1>Michael Sessman walking free from DC Federal court, and I

0:23:16.017 --> 0:23:20.257
<v Speaker 1>harried and bewildered former Donald Trump advisor Peter Navarro being

0:23:20.257 --> 0:23:22.737
<v Speaker 1>hauled before it following his account of a harrowing arrest

0:23:22.777 --> 0:23:27.377
<v Speaker 1>and entertainment ought to be ingrained indelibly in the American mind,

0:23:29.537 --> 0:23:32.177
<v Speaker 1>and in some ways, in some respects, I think that's

0:23:32.297 --> 0:23:34.897
<v Speaker 1>kind of the point of the exercise. They want to

0:23:34.937 --> 0:23:37.977
<v Speaker 1>have something like a perp walk of a Peter Navarro,

0:23:38.537 --> 0:23:41.497
<v Speaker 1>treat him as if he's some hardened criminal that ought

0:23:41.497 --> 0:23:44.417
<v Speaker 1>to be shackled and dragged in front of a DC

0:23:44.577 --> 0:23:48.857
<v Speaker 1>federal court, precisely to send a message to the American

0:23:48.937 --> 0:23:52.017
<v Speaker 1>people that those who have views like Peter Navarro and

0:23:52.057 --> 0:23:57.057
<v Speaker 1>who served the band Orange Man faithfully, their threats to society,

0:23:57.137 --> 0:24:00.497
<v Speaker 1>to our democracy and thus they're going to be treated

0:24:00.617 --> 0:24:03.217
<v Speaker 1>as such as enemies of the regime. But if you

0:24:03.257 --> 0:24:06.417
<v Speaker 1>were at Michael Sussman, a senior Democrat lawyer and good

0:24:06.457 --> 0:24:09.577
<v Speaker 1>standing who served in the Justice Department for years under

0:24:09.617 --> 0:24:13.457
<v Speaker 1>Democrat administration, well you're going to be protected. You are,

0:24:13.777 --> 0:24:18.097
<v Speaker 1>you are a made man in the regime, and anyone

0:24:18.097 --> 0:24:20.377
<v Speaker 1>else who was on the other side who errs to

0:24:20.457 --> 0:24:23.297
<v Speaker 1>threaten their power and privilege, because let's not forget what

0:24:23.377 --> 0:24:26.497
<v Speaker 1>was Peter Navarro's seminal contribution in the Trump administration. It

0:24:26.537 --> 0:24:29.097
<v Speaker 1>was to take on communist China, something of course you

0:24:29.177 --> 0:24:32.177
<v Speaker 1>can't do if you're in their regime. You're going to

0:24:32.257 --> 0:24:35.257
<v Speaker 1>pay a massive price for it, including facing the long

0:24:35.377 --> 0:24:40.897
<v Speaker 1>arm of the law. So we also have the January

0:24:40.977 --> 0:24:46.497
<v Speaker 1>six hearings, primetime hearings coming up in just what two

0:24:46.577 --> 0:24:50.937
<v Speaker 1>days now, Ben Here's PBS News can hardly contain their excitement.

0:24:50.937 --> 0:24:53.137
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure about this one. On the January sixth hearing

0:24:53.137 --> 0:24:55.937
<v Speaker 1>that's coming up on Thursday, they want to show all

0:24:56.017 --> 0:24:59.137
<v Speaker 1>of the investment materials that they have got from people

0:24:59.137 --> 0:25:02.377
<v Speaker 1>like mak Meadows, Trump's from a chief of staff, testimony

0:25:02.417 --> 0:25:05.657
<v Speaker 1>from people connected to the militia groups and testimony from

0:25:05.697 --> 0:25:10.617
<v Speaker 1>people who actually shot the documentary footage and a companied

0:25:10.977 --> 0:25:14.017
<v Speaker 1>the various actors through from election day all the way

0:25:14.137 --> 0:25:16.297
<v Speaker 1>through to January sixth, and so none of this has

0:25:16.337 --> 0:25:20.097
<v Speaker 1>been seen by anyone before other than the investigators on

0:25:20.097 --> 0:25:22.017
<v Speaker 1>the January sixth Committee, and so for the first time,

0:25:22.057 --> 0:25:24.057
<v Speaker 1>they're going to present this and at the first hearing

0:25:24.057 --> 0:25:26.217
<v Speaker 1>on June ninth, the idea is to present a roadmap

0:25:26.497 --> 0:25:30.777
<v Speaker 1>all criminality. I don't think that's going to happen, and

0:25:30.817 --> 0:25:32.617
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if anyone's gonna watch. What do you think.

0:25:34.657 --> 0:25:36.937
<v Speaker 1>I think for the small percentage of Americans who are

0:25:36.977 --> 0:25:38.897
<v Speaker 1>going to watch, it'll be people who have already made

0:25:38.937 --> 0:25:41.497
<v Speaker 1>up their minds on this topic. I'm not sure what

0:25:41.657 --> 0:25:46.537
<v Speaker 1>we're litigating eighteen months on, but do think it is notable.

0:25:46.777 --> 0:25:49.297
<v Speaker 1>First of all, the Justice Department has been pretty busy.

0:25:49.337 --> 0:25:52.457
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't just hauling Peter Navarro before a federal judge.

0:25:52.737 --> 0:25:57.697
<v Speaker 1>They also issued new charges of seditious conspiracy on the

0:25:57.697 --> 0:26:01.217
<v Speaker 1>eve of these hearings, all in my view, with the

0:26:01.257 --> 0:26:05.537
<v Speaker 1>express purpose of trying to create the narrative essentially that

0:26:05.897 --> 0:26:10.737
<v Speaker 1>MAGA equals terrorist, that those who believed in the big

0:26:10.777 --> 0:26:13.737
<v Speaker 1>lie about questions of the integrity of the twenty twenty election,

0:26:14.017 --> 0:26:18.897
<v Speaker 1>hold dangerous views that led to a dangerous, violent insurrection,

0:26:19.017 --> 0:26:21.777
<v Speaker 1>and that consequently there has to be a counter terrorism

0:26:21.817 --> 0:26:24.937
<v Speaker 1>strategy to pursue all of them, up to and including

0:26:25.217 --> 0:26:30.177
<v Speaker 1>the Ayatolla Trump who issued the thoughts that unleashed this insurrection.

0:26:30.537 --> 0:26:32.337
<v Speaker 1>That is the narrative that they're going to put forth.

0:26:32.577 --> 0:26:35.097
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the American people buy it. The polling

0:26:35.137 --> 0:26:38.697
<v Speaker 1>bears that out. The fact that Democrats are focused on

0:26:38.737 --> 0:26:42.777
<v Speaker 1>this several months out from the midterm elections, I think

0:26:42.857 --> 0:26:44.897
<v Speaker 1>says it all about the fact that they have nothing

0:26:44.937 --> 0:26:49.217
<v Speaker 1>to run on except trying to smear their opponents as

0:26:49.337 --> 0:26:51.817
<v Speaker 1>dangerous to society. And it's not going to work because

0:26:51.817 --> 0:26:55.097
<v Speaker 1>I think people understand that the Democrat Party's policies have

0:26:55.137 --> 0:26:57.657
<v Speaker 1>been dangerous to our health, our well being, our peace,

0:26:57.697 --> 0:27:01.657
<v Speaker 1>our prosperity, and that this is a deeply cynical effort

0:27:01.697 --> 0:27:05.297
<v Speaker 1>which is running rough shot over our most basic liberties

0:27:05.577 --> 0:27:09.057
<v Speaker 1>and justice. They are posing the very threat they claim

0:27:09.137 --> 0:27:11.857
<v Speaker 1>their political opponent supposed, because this is what they do.

0:27:12.017 --> 0:27:15.697
<v Speaker 1>They project, it's all they have. January six, Committee's newest

0:27:15.737 --> 0:27:18.377
<v Speaker 1>TV production advisor is this guy, James Goldston. I'm sure

0:27:18.417 --> 0:27:22.137
<v Speaker 1>you've seen this been former president of ABC News, master

0:27:22.297 --> 0:27:26.097
<v Speaker 1>documentary storyteller who ran Good Morning America Nightline. He wants

0:27:26.097 --> 0:27:28.857
<v Speaker 1>to draw eyeballs of Americans who haven't followed the ins

0:27:28.857 --> 0:27:31.817
<v Speaker 1>announced of the Capitol Hill riot, and has getting access

0:27:31.817 --> 0:27:34.817
<v Speaker 1>to official White House photographs from January six that have

0:27:34.937 --> 0:27:38.097
<v Speaker 1>never been seen publicly. They say, so this is I mean,

0:27:38.097 --> 0:27:42.097
<v Speaker 1>they're actually bringing in people to make this the biggest

0:27:42.137 --> 0:27:48.057
<v Speaker 1>spectacle possible, right, That's what this is. Yeah, it's so transparent,

0:27:48.257 --> 0:27:51.177
<v Speaker 1>it would almost be laughable if it wasn't so serious

0:27:51.257 --> 0:27:54.377
<v Speaker 1>the ways in which they're abusing their powers and chilling people.

0:27:54.657 --> 0:27:57.977
<v Speaker 1>Because let's not forget the dozens and dozens of people

0:27:57.977 --> 0:27:59.897
<v Speaker 1>who have been hauled in front of this committee. They

0:27:59.897 --> 0:28:03.417
<v Speaker 1>have to pay lawyers for all that work. They're being bankrupted.

0:28:03.537 --> 0:28:08.257
<v Speaker 1>In many cases. They're probing into your communications, into anyone

0:28:08.297 --> 0:28:12.377
<v Speaker 1>who is even remotely related to Trump World, essentially, so

0:28:12.417 --> 0:28:15.777
<v Speaker 1>that dragnet in and of itself, it's a punishment by

0:28:15.897 --> 0:28:19.097
<v Speaker 1>process here. And obviously, look it has led to the

0:28:19.177 --> 0:28:22.417
<v Speaker 1>DOJ pursuing a Peter Navarro. So even though in some

0:28:22.497 --> 0:28:26.177
<v Speaker 1>ways it's a joke, it's a sham it's completely one sided,

0:28:26.297 --> 0:28:30.097
<v Speaker 1>it has no particular purpose, it's arguably unlawful and clearly

0:28:30.137 --> 0:28:33.057
<v Speaker 1>doesn't follow congressional rules. At the same time, it is

0:28:33.097 --> 0:28:37.137
<v Speaker 1>doing real substantive damage here, and the spectacle aspect of it,

0:28:37.177 --> 0:28:39.577
<v Speaker 1>the fact that of course they literally bring in a

0:28:39.657 --> 0:28:44.657
<v Speaker 1>corporate media executive to stage manage the whole kabuki production,

0:28:45.137 --> 0:28:48.417
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't distract us from the deathly seriousness of this. On

0:28:48.497 --> 0:28:50.377
<v Speaker 1>top of the fact that you can make an argument

0:28:50.457 --> 0:28:52.777
<v Speaker 1>that the Congressional Committee, it would appear, is colluding with

0:28:52.817 --> 0:28:55.057
<v Speaker 1>the DOJ when the DOJ is acting like it is,

0:28:55.257 --> 0:28:57.737
<v Speaker 1>and you have members of the Committee who've been badgering

0:28:57.777 --> 0:29:01.337
<v Speaker 1>the DOJ to take a more aggressive approach for weeks now,

0:29:01.497 --> 0:29:04.137
<v Speaker 1>that in and of itself is a huge violation of norms,

0:29:04.177 --> 0:29:06.657
<v Speaker 1>if not far worse than that. But of course they'll

0:29:06.697 --> 0:29:09.057
<v Speaker 1>say that it's the other side that's violating norms, because again,

0:29:09.297 --> 0:29:11.217
<v Speaker 1>the projection is they have But I think we shouldn't

0:29:11.257 --> 0:29:15.017
<v Speaker 1>been distracted totally by the spectacle here, because the substance

0:29:15.057 --> 0:29:18.697
<v Speaker 1>of this is really dangerous, disturbing, and chewing. Ben, thank

0:29:18.697 --> 0:29:21.977
<v Speaker 1>you for the insights as always, thanks for having me back.

0:29:23.617 --> 0:29:25.897
<v Speaker 1>Democrats are renewing their efforts to make it more difficult

0:29:25.897 --> 0:29:29.457
<v Speaker 1>for Americans to purchase so called assault weapons. Their latest

0:29:29.457 --> 0:29:33.617
<v Speaker 1>prosal a one thousand percent tax on AAR fifteens. We

0:29:33.657 --> 0:29:35.297
<v Speaker 1>have more on that with senior writer a National Review,

0:29:35.377 --> 0:29:41.977
<v Speaker 1>Charles Cook in a moment. Each morning, the President of

0:29:41.977 --> 0:29:44.937
<v Speaker 1>the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the

0:29:44.937 --> 0:29:48.177
<v Speaker 1>most important issues facing the country. It's called the President's

0:29:48.217 --> 0:29:53.017
<v Speaker 1>Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well,

0:29:53.017 --> 0:29:55.817
<v Speaker 1>now you can hear your very own PDB in the

0:29:55.857 --> 0:29:58.857
<v Speaker 1>form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright,

0:29:59.097 --> 0:30:03.017
<v Speaker 1>a former CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern,

0:30:03.097 --> 0:30:05.217
<v Speaker 1>I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most

0:30:05.257 --> 0:30:08.777
<v Speaker 1>important issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence

0:30:08.777 --> 0:30:19.097
<v Speaker 1>and analysis you need to start your morning. Imminent danger

0:30:19.177 --> 0:30:23.857
<v Speaker 1>to themselves and others such that they might commit mass murder,

0:30:24.297 --> 0:30:28.097
<v Speaker 1>have a constitutional right to access a firearm, and to

0:30:28.257 --> 0:30:31.897
<v Speaker 1>deny them that right would quote trample on an individual's

0:30:31.937 --> 0:30:35.657
<v Speaker 1>due process and second memo rights you know didn't have

0:30:35.737 --> 0:30:39.217
<v Speaker 1>due process, you know who didn't have their constitutional right

0:30:39.257 --> 0:30:44.137
<v Speaker 1>to life? Respected the kids at Parkland and Sandy Hook

0:30:44.377 --> 0:30:48.377
<v Speaker 1>and Yuvalde and Buffalo, and the list goes on and on.

0:30:48.697 --> 0:30:54.617
<v Speaker 1>So spare me the book about constitutional rights. Congressman David

0:30:54.657 --> 0:30:57.417
<v Speaker 1>Clin of Rhode Island has had just about enough of

0:30:57.537 --> 0:31:00.377
<v Speaker 1>you know, that whole constitution thing. In the wake of

0:31:00.417 --> 0:31:03.857
<v Speaker 1>several high profile mass shootings, Democrats are once again pushing

0:31:03.897 --> 0:31:07.817
<v Speaker 1>for stricter gun control measures, including opposing a one hundred

0:31:07.897 --> 0:31:12.257
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, one thousands and excise tax on AAR fifteens

0:31:12.657 --> 0:31:15.617
<v Speaker 1>Congressman Don Buyer a Virginia instead of the proposal quote

0:31:16.457 --> 0:31:20.137
<v Speaker 1>what's intended to do is what it's intended to do

0:31:20.217 --> 0:31:23.617
<v Speaker 1>is provide another creative pathway who actually makes some sensible

0:31:23.657 --> 0:31:26.297
<v Speaker 1>gun control happen. We think that a one thousand percent

0:31:26.337 --> 0:31:28.377
<v Speaker 1>fee on assault weapons it's just a kind of restrictive

0:31:28.377 --> 0:31:32.537
<v Speaker 1>measure that creates enough fiscal impact qualify for reconciliation. For

0:31:32.697 --> 0:31:35.577
<v Speaker 1>some perspective, a one thousand percent tax on an AR

0:31:35.657 --> 0:31:39.217
<v Speaker 1>fifteen would add between five thousand to twenty five to

0:31:39.297 --> 0:31:41.817
<v Speaker 1>twenty thousand dollars to their final sale price, depending on

0:31:41.857 --> 0:31:44.297
<v Speaker 1>what state you buy it. In jo talking about that,

0:31:44.417 --> 0:31:47.297
<v Speaker 1>senior writer for a National Review, Charles Cook, Charles, what

0:31:47.377 --> 0:31:51.417
<v Speaker 1>do you make of this? Well, I'll take them one

0:31:51.457 --> 0:31:56.057
<v Speaker 1>by one. The first quote you played, it's not really

0:31:56.377 --> 0:31:59.977
<v Speaker 1>a gun control issue so much as it's an entire

0:32:00.497 --> 0:32:08.217
<v Speaker 1>US Constitution issue. It's a representative's job to respect civil

0:32:08.217 --> 0:32:11.897
<v Speaker 1>liberties and constitutional right to take an oath to do so.

0:32:13.537 --> 0:32:16.057
<v Speaker 1>On the second one, I mean, look, that will be

0:32:16.097 --> 0:32:18.897
<v Speaker 1>struck down within ten seconds by the courts. They never

0:32:18.977 --> 0:32:23.097
<v Speaker 1>ruled explicitly on such measures for the Second Amendment, but

0:32:23.177 --> 0:32:25.497
<v Speaker 1>in other areas of the Bill of Rights, the courts

0:32:25.497 --> 0:32:28.177
<v Speaker 1>have made it clear you cannot, for example, shut down

0:32:28.217 --> 0:32:31.937
<v Speaker 1>the free press by putting a thousand percent tax on

0:32:32.137 --> 0:32:36.977
<v Speaker 1>inc or on bandwidth. That is a non starter. It

0:32:37.017 --> 0:32:39.097
<v Speaker 1>is almost as though they try to remind everybody of

0:32:39.137 --> 0:32:41.817
<v Speaker 1>the protections of the Constitution by coming up with new

0:32:41.857 --> 0:32:44.737
<v Speaker 1>ways to violate them, or maybe all the ways that

0:32:44.857 --> 0:32:48.297
<v Speaker 1>they trot out. Once again, there's a renewed focus, by

0:32:48.297 --> 0:32:51.977
<v Speaker 1>the way, on the banning of assault weapons. Nancy Pelosi

0:32:52.417 --> 0:32:54.737
<v Speaker 1>actually said that she'll be bringing forward legislation to have

0:32:54.817 --> 0:32:58.137
<v Speaker 1>them banned this week. I mean, first off, I'm always

0:32:58.177 --> 0:33:00.217
<v Speaker 1>so curious about this. So is it just going to

0:33:00.217 --> 0:33:03.097
<v Speaker 1>be a ban on new purchases of them, and so

0:33:03.217 --> 0:33:07.057
<v Speaker 1>it won't touch the I don't know, forty fifty million

0:33:07.497 --> 0:33:11.097
<v Speaker 1>AAR fifteen style rifles already in circulation in America. I mean, Charles,

0:33:11.097 --> 0:33:13.537
<v Speaker 1>how is this even supposed to theoretically work as a

0:33:13.617 --> 0:33:20.377
<v Speaker 1>legislative act? I don't know. Yeah, fifteen is the most

0:33:20.497 --> 0:33:23.577
<v Speaker 1>commonly owned rifle in the United States by a long way.

0:33:23.937 --> 0:33:26.737
<v Speaker 1>The Supreme Court, in the Hella decision said that any

0:33:26.737 --> 0:33:29.497
<v Speaker 1>weapon that is in common use is protected, so this

0:33:29.657 --> 0:33:35.297
<v Speaker 1>is presumptively unconstitutional. Clearly, mass shooters in recent years have

0:33:35.417 --> 0:33:39.097
<v Speaker 1>come to favor the AR fifteen, although most mass shootings

0:33:39.097 --> 0:33:44.617
<v Speaker 1>are still committed with people wielding handguns. But the AR

0:33:44.697 --> 0:33:49.777
<v Speaker 1>fifteen is not really statistically the problem in the United States.

0:33:49.857 --> 0:33:53.297
<v Speaker 1>I mean, rifles have all sorts use less frequently in

0:33:53.897 --> 0:33:57.297
<v Speaker 1>murders than hands and feet, and the subset that are

0:33:57.337 --> 0:34:01.897
<v Speaker 1>pitrarily described as assault weapons are used so infrequently that

0:34:01.937 --> 0:34:04.897
<v Speaker 1>the FBI doesn't keep statistics. It just rolls them into

0:34:04.937 --> 0:34:08.137
<v Speaker 1>the rifle number, you know. So to try and get

0:34:08.257 --> 0:34:11.497
<v Speaker 1>rid of tens of millions of the most commonly owned

0:34:11.577 --> 0:34:15.657
<v Speaker 1>rifle in the United States in this way is ridiculous.

0:34:15.737 --> 0:34:19.177
<v Speaker 1>But also it's not going to happen. And I wonder

0:34:19.217 --> 0:34:23.457
<v Speaker 1>at what point people such as Nancy Pelosi, who don't

0:34:23.497 --> 0:34:26.977
<v Speaker 1>want more ar fifteens, as she puts it, on the street.

0:34:27.017 --> 0:34:28.777
<v Speaker 1>Of course, most of them aren't on the street or

0:34:28.777 --> 0:34:31.577
<v Speaker 1>anywhere near it, but she doesn't want them on the street,

0:34:32.057 --> 0:34:35.457
<v Speaker 1>as she says. I wonder at what point they will

0:34:35.537 --> 0:34:38.777
<v Speaker 1>realize that every time they bring forward a plan to

0:34:38.817 --> 0:34:42.097
<v Speaker 1>ban them, people go right out and buy them. I mean,

0:34:42.137 --> 0:34:44.217
<v Speaker 1>she knows this isn't going to pass, She knows there

0:34:44.217 --> 0:34:45.897
<v Speaker 1>aren't the votes in the Senate, she knows it's not

0:34:45.937 --> 0:34:49.457
<v Speaker 1>going to happen. She probably knows it's unconstitutional. Why say it?

0:34:49.497 --> 0:34:53.777
<v Speaker 1>She's actually working against her own names. Charles David French,

0:34:53.817 --> 0:34:56.377
<v Speaker 1>formerly of Natural View, years back wrote a piece in

0:34:56.377 --> 0:34:59.977
<v Speaker 1>which he was criticizing American gun culture and so that

0:35:00.017 --> 0:35:03.977
<v Speaker 1>many gun owners are idolaters. In the Dispatch, he wrote,

0:35:04.537 --> 0:35:08.537
<v Speaker 1>the idolatrous fringe is no longer fringe. They bear arms

0:35:08.537 --> 0:35:11.577
<v Speaker 1>with religious intensity, and there's zeal for their weapons. They

0:35:11.617 --> 0:35:13.617
<v Speaker 1>send a message that their identity and their power are

0:35:13.657 --> 0:35:17.497
<v Speaker 1>defined by the guns they love. Is this just or

0:35:17.617 --> 0:35:19.937
<v Speaker 1>for somebody who I believe used to defend the Second

0:35:19.977 --> 0:35:23.657
<v Speaker 1>Amendment for at least somewhat for a living. What's this

0:35:23.737 --> 0:35:27.937
<v Speaker 1>all about? Well? I responded to David, and I texted

0:35:28.017 --> 0:35:30.097
<v Speaker 1>him and said, I profoundly disagree with you on this,

0:35:31.217 --> 0:35:33.857
<v Speaker 1>and I wrote it up at National Review. David four

0:35:33.937 --> 0:35:36.657
<v Speaker 1>years ago wrote a piece in The Atlantic in which

0:35:36.697 --> 0:35:41.097
<v Speaker 1>he strenuously defended what he described as gun culture, and

0:35:41.137 --> 0:35:44.777
<v Speaker 1>now he says he couldn't write that piece again. Well,

0:35:44.817 --> 0:35:47.377
<v Speaker 1>nothing's changed in that four year period. As I suggest

0:35:47.537 --> 0:35:51.137
<v Speaker 1>gently in the piece, I think David's changed gun culture

0:35:51.497 --> 0:35:54.177
<v Speaker 1>hasn't changed. All of the things that David points to

0:35:54.257 --> 0:35:58.217
<v Speaker 1>as evidence for what he calls idolatry were true beforehand.

0:35:59.377 --> 0:36:05.297
<v Speaker 1>Politicians raffling off guns, politicians running on the basis of

0:36:05.337 --> 0:36:09.337
<v Speaker 1>their support for the Second Amendment at the slogan pro

0:36:09.497 --> 0:36:17.097
<v Speaker 1>gun pro god, you know, the preference for black guns,

0:36:17.177 --> 0:36:20.617
<v Speaker 1>you know, R fifteens. Is this sort of tactical culture that,

0:36:20.857 --> 0:36:23.057
<v Speaker 1>by the way, gun owners have been making fun of

0:36:23.097 --> 0:36:28.937
<v Speaker 1>themselves for a decade now, and even people walking outside

0:36:29.057 --> 0:36:33.097
<v Speaker 1>in protests or political allies with their guns. That's not

0:36:33.257 --> 0:36:36.657
<v Speaker 1>new either. That there's nothing really that's changed since twenty eighteen.

0:36:36.897 --> 0:36:38.977
<v Speaker 1>People change their mind in politics all the time. It's

0:36:38.977 --> 0:36:42.297
<v Speaker 1>absolutely fine. But I think we shouldn't pretend here that

0:36:42.417 --> 0:36:47.577
<v Speaker 1>anything much has been altered. In gun culture since twenty eighteen,

0:36:47.577 --> 0:36:50.217
<v Speaker 1>and this stuff's been in the American mainstream now for

0:36:50.217 --> 0:36:54.817
<v Speaker 1>thirty years. You may have seen Charles that the actor

0:36:54.977 --> 0:37:00.337
<v Speaker 1>Matthew McConaughey was speaking today from the West Wing podium

0:37:00.697 --> 0:37:04.457
<v Speaker 1>during the White House Press conference about gun control. Here's

0:37:04.497 --> 0:37:06.937
<v Speaker 1>just a clip of what he said. We want secure

0:37:06.977 --> 0:37:09.457
<v Speaker 1>and safe schools, and we want gun laws that won't

0:37:09.457 --> 0:37:11.377
<v Speaker 1>make it so for the bad guys to get these

0:37:11.457 --> 0:37:20.897
<v Speaker 1>damn guns, so we know it's on the table. We

0:37:21.017 --> 0:37:23.977
<v Speaker 1>need to invest in mental health care. We need to

0:37:23.977 --> 0:37:28.697
<v Speaker 1>say for schools, we need to restrain sensationalize media coverage.

0:37:30.777 --> 0:37:34.457
<v Speaker 1>We need to restore our family values. We need to

0:37:34.497 --> 0:37:43.137
<v Speaker 1>restore our American values. And we need responsible gun ownership.

0:37:43.417 --> 0:37:48.897
<v Speaker 1>Responsible gun ownership. We need background checks. We need to

0:37:48.977 --> 0:37:51.857
<v Speaker 1>raise the minimum age to purchase in a our fifteen

0:37:51.977 --> 0:37:57.097
<v Speaker 1>rifle to twenty one. We need a waiting period for

0:37:57.417 --> 0:38:01.137
<v Speaker 1>those rifles. We need red flag laws and consequences for

0:38:01.257 --> 0:38:04.697
<v Speaker 1>those who abuse them. And Charles far bid for me

0:38:04.777 --> 0:38:08.657
<v Speaker 1>to argue with the platitudes about you know, America and

0:38:08.737 --> 0:38:12.617
<v Speaker 1>making people safer, but the moment he veered into actual policy,

0:38:12.657 --> 0:38:15.217
<v Speaker 1>I just think of none of that would have stopped

0:38:15.297 --> 0:38:17.377
<v Speaker 1>the Yuvalde shooting or from what we can see, any

0:38:17.417 --> 0:38:22.217
<v Speaker 1>of the recent mass shooting. No, I wouldn't nothing he mentioned,

0:38:22.737 --> 0:38:26.457
<v Speaker 1>with the exception potentially of a red flag law, would

0:38:26.457 --> 0:38:31.217
<v Speaker 1>have even intersected with this. And I like Matthew McConaughey,

0:38:31.257 --> 0:38:33.817
<v Speaker 1>and he was, funnily enough, a lot more reasonable in

0:38:33.937 --> 0:38:38.577
<v Speaker 1>that little Clifton Joe Biden is. But we have background checks,

0:38:38.857 --> 0:38:41.057
<v Speaker 1>and I find it irritating when people say we need

0:38:41.097 --> 0:38:43.417
<v Speaker 1>background checks. I think a lot of Americans are under

0:38:43.417 --> 0:38:45.897
<v Speaker 1>the impression that there is no background check system at all.

0:38:46.537 --> 0:38:50.697
<v Speaker 1>I think that's one reason why support for background checks

0:38:50.777 --> 0:38:53.937
<v Speaker 1>goes from ninety percent to fifty percent or lower every

0:38:53.937 --> 0:38:57.617
<v Speaker 1>time it's actually raised in earnest, because people recognize we

0:38:57.657 --> 0:39:00.337
<v Speaker 1>already have a system. What they're talking about is expanding

0:39:00.377 --> 0:39:03.737
<v Speaker 1>it to private transfers. Often private interstate transfers at aren't

0:39:03.737 --> 0:39:06.657
<v Speaker 1>commercial at tour. So he shouldn't have put it like that.

0:39:07.377 --> 0:39:09.937
<v Speaker 1>I think the first half of his comments were appropriate.

0:39:10.217 --> 0:39:12.697
<v Speaker 1>I actually do think we have a mental health problem.

0:39:12.817 --> 0:39:15.297
<v Speaker 1>I think we've become far too lax about letting people

0:39:15.417 --> 0:39:18.537
<v Speaker 1>who are mentally ill wander around the stress in the

0:39:18.617 --> 0:39:21.177
<v Speaker 1>name of kindness. For some reason we think this is

0:39:21.257 --> 0:39:24.537
<v Speaker 1>kind to them when it's not. But I also think

0:39:24.537 --> 0:39:27.537
<v Speaker 1>this is an extremely difficult problem to solve. I don't

0:39:27.537 --> 0:39:31.097
<v Speaker 1>have many answers either. It's so rare, and you know,

0:39:31.137 --> 0:39:33.537
<v Speaker 1>people think that's a callous thing to say, to point

0:39:33.577 --> 0:39:35.697
<v Speaker 1>out that mass shootings are rarest if you're somehow down

0:39:35.697 --> 0:39:37.977
<v Speaker 1>playing them. I'm not. I'm a parent of two. You know,

0:39:38.057 --> 0:39:40.537
<v Speaker 1>I felt the same way everyone else did when I

0:39:40.577 --> 0:39:43.537
<v Speaker 1>heard this news. But it is also about as likely

0:39:43.737 --> 0:39:46.057
<v Speaker 1>as say, being thrown by lightning or being killed in

0:39:46.097 --> 0:39:49.097
<v Speaker 1>an earthquake, and those things are really difficult to stop too,

0:39:49.137 --> 0:39:51.777
<v Speaker 1>because we don't know when they're going to happen. So,

0:39:52.017 --> 0:39:54.017
<v Speaker 1>you know, the part of what Matthew McConaughey said that

0:39:54.057 --> 0:39:57.217
<v Speaker 1>I oppose the most, you know my views on policy

0:39:57.977 --> 0:40:00.097
<v Speaker 1>and with you on that. The part I object to

0:40:00.177 --> 0:40:02.057
<v Speaker 1>the most is when he said we know how to

0:40:02.097 --> 0:40:04.897
<v Speaker 1>deal with this. This is a line Joe Biden keeps using.

0:40:04.977 --> 0:40:06.977
<v Speaker 1>We know how to do this. I'm afraid we don't.

0:40:07.217 --> 0:40:10.577
<v Speaker 1>We don't actually what he says, we know how to

0:40:10.617 --> 0:40:13.617
<v Speaker 1>stop COVID, Actually we don't. It's another point where we

0:40:14.097 --> 0:40:17.417
<v Speaker 1>do not actually, So very good point, Charles, Thanks as

0:40:17.417 --> 0:40:20.537
<v Speaker 1>always for being with us. Appreciate it, thanks for having me.

0:40:22.857 --> 0:40:26.057
<v Speaker 1>You'll never guess why Stacy Abram has asked a young

0:40:26.337 --> 0:40:29.857
<v Speaker 1>kid to take his mask off for a photo. The hypocrisy,

0:40:29.937 --> 0:40:31.657
<v Speaker 1>my friends, get ready for it? Well how that story

0:40:31.657 --> 0:40:40.977
<v Speaker 1>and more coming up in quickt Burger King introduced a

0:40:41.017 --> 0:40:43.937
<v Speaker 1>new Pride Whopper which is gaining a lot of attention,

0:40:44.057 --> 0:40:46.977
<v Speaker 1>and one Senator Bragg's about not having to worry about

0:40:47.577 --> 0:40:51.017
<v Speaker 1>gas prices because you know, she's fancy. She has an

0:40:51.057 --> 0:40:54.017
<v Speaker 1>electric car, unlike the peasants out there. These stories and

0:40:54.097 --> 0:40:56.577
<v Speaker 1>more in quickets. Let's get right to it. So it

0:40:56.697 --> 0:40:59.177
<v Speaker 1>is Pride Month, as you have seen if you've bought

0:40:59.177 --> 0:41:04.217
<v Speaker 1>anything or seeing any statements public statements from companies anywhere

0:41:04.217 --> 0:41:07.737
<v Speaker 1>in America right now. Burger King has introduced a new

0:41:08.377 --> 0:41:12.217
<v Speaker 1>Pride whopper where you can order it with two tops

0:41:12.337 --> 0:41:17.057
<v Speaker 1>or two bottoms of buns. The campaign is running only

0:41:17.097 --> 0:41:21.057
<v Speaker 1>in Austria until June twentieth, but so far it has

0:41:21.057 --> 0:41:24.657
<v Speaker 1>gained negative traction among some fast food eaters. Weight So

0:41:24.697 --> 0:41:29.057
<v Speaker 1>it has two tops or two top buns, two bottom bun? What?

0:41:29.977 --> 0:41:34.777
<v Speaker 1>Okay whatever? I have not eaten a Burger King burger

0:41:34.777 --> 0:41:38.697
<v Speaker 1>in a long time because gluten the buns. But anyway,

0:41:38.217 --> 0:41:42.057
<v Speaker 1>pride whopper the thing now can't buy a burger without

0:41:42.057 --> 0:41:47.537
<v Speaker 1>some politics involved. Senator Debbie seven Owl, she has found

0:41:47.537 --> 0:41:51.857
<v Speaker 1>herself getting some media attention here because look, gas price

0:41:51.937 --> 0:41:54.137
<v Speaker 1>is really highs you know, in the country right now,

0:41:54.297 --> 0:41:57.497
<v Speaker 1>and it's reaching records. Got to get the Bide administration credit.

0:41:57.537 --> 0:41:59.257
<v Speaker 1>They keep breaking records, just not the kind of records

0:41:59.257 --> 0:42:00.737
<v Speaker 1>you want to break if you want to stay in power.

0:42:01.457 --> 0:42:04.417
<v Speaker 1>Yeas is really expensive. We could be heading toward five

0:42:04.497 --> 0:42:09.777
<v Speaker 1>dollars a gallon nationally as the average, and everyone's seeing

0:42:09.777 --> 0:42:11.817
<v Speaker 1>this is a promise not going to get better anytime soon.

0:42:12.577 --> 0:42:16.657
<v Speaker 1>Senator Debbie Stavin now has had a moment here where

0:42:16.697 --> 0:42:18.977
<v Speaker 1>she bragged it. You know, she went on a road

0:42:18.977 --> 0:42:21.377
<v Speaker 1>trip but shed just gotten her cool new electric vehicle.

0:42:21.977 --> 0:42:25.137
<v Speaker 1>So all those gas stations she passed, she could just

0:42:25.257 --> 0:42:28.777
<v Speaker 1>laugh at the peasants who can't afford their gas or

0:42:28.817 --> 0:42:31.857
<v Speaker 1>the electric vehicle that she was in. So yeah, no problem.

0:42:31.897 --> 0:42:33.937
<v Speaker 1>Watch as I'd just have to say, just on the

0:42:33.977 --> 0:42:37.857
<v Speaker 1>issue of gas prices. After waiting for a long time

0:42:38.177 --> 0:42:40.617
<v Speaker 1>to have enough chips in this country to finally get

0:42:40.697 --> 0:42:44.297
<v Speaker 1>my electric vehicle, I got it and drove it from

0:42:44.337 --> 0:42:48.577
<v Speaker 1>Michigan to hear this last weekend and went by every

0:42:48.617 --> 0:42:51.017
<v Speaker 1>single gas station and didn't matter how high it was.

0:42:51.137 --> 0:42:53.777
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm looking forward to the opportunity for us

0:42:53.817 --> 0:42:56.537
<v Speaker 1>to move to vehicles that aren't going to be dependent

0:42:56.697 --> 0:43:02.257
<v Speaker 1>on the whims of the oil companies in the international markets.

0:43:03.177 --> 0:43:05.857
<v Speaker 1>I mean so much, so much stupidity in that short clip,

0:43:05.857 --> 0:43:09.257
<v Speaker 1>but also the whims of the oil companies. Yes, because

0:43:09.257 --> 0:43:11.657
<v Speaker 1>the oil companies just decide, you know what, It's not

0:43:11.697 --> 0:43:13.537
<v Speaker 1>like this is a global market and we have competitors,

0:43:13.577 --> 0:43:15.377
<v Speaker 1>so why don't we just charge one hundred dollars a gallon?

0:43:15.457 --> 0:43:19.377
<v Speaker 1>Everyone will pay that, right. The amount of stupid among

0:43:19.417 --> 0:43:22.377
<v Speaker 1>Democrats who are elected office is, no matter how much

0:43:22.377 --> 0:43:28.257
<v Speaker 1>you see it, always astonishing. Always. Stacy Abrahams, the fake

0:43:28.297 --> 0:43:30.457
<v Speaker 1>governor of Georgia, who is now running to be the

0:43:30.497 --> 0:43:33.097
<v Speaker 1>actual governor of Georgia and will likely lose again and

0:43:33.137 --> 0:43:34.977
<v Speaker 1>then still be the fake governor of Georgia because she's

0:43:34.977 --> 0:43:38.377
<v Speaker 1>almost certain to claim that she was cheated in some way.

0:43:38.617 --> 0:43:40.977
<v Speaker 1>She asked a young kid to take his mask off

0:43:41.737 --> 0:43:44.977
<v Speaker 1>for a photo because she said that she has gotten

0:43:45.017 --> 0:43:47.617
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of trouble taking photos with kids with

0:43:47.777 --> 0:44:01.897
<v Speaker 1>masks on why for a seconds? Okay, I trouble taking

0:44:01.937 --> 0:44:08.297
<v Speaker 1>mask kids. Okay, ah, yes, she got a little bit

0:44:08.297 --> 0:44:10.857
<v Speaker 1>of trouble because people realize the hypocrisy of an adult

0:44:11.337 --> 0:44:16.977
<v Speaker 1>who is obese is at substantially greater risk from COVID

0:44:18.057 --> 0:44:20.977
<v Speaker 1>by a factor of at least ten, if not maybe

0:44:21.017 --> 0:44:24.057
<v Speaker 1>a hundred times more than a child is the wire

0:44:24.137 --> 0:44:28.857
<v Speaker 1>children mass near an obese adult. That's an interesting quite

0:44:29.017 --> 0:44:31.577
<v Speaker 1>who is not mass? Right? Someone want to explain that? Oh, no,

0:44:31.657 --> 0:44:34.817
<v Speaker 1>of course not. But she realizes that the optics of

0:44:34.817 --> 0:44:37.417
<v Speaker 1>this not very good, right, so she of course had

0:44:37.457 --> 0:44:39.977
<v Speaker 1>him changed to take a mask for the photo. Daily

0:44:40.017 --> 0:44:43.177
<v Speaker 1>Mail headline Eco preachers Harry and Meghan are accused of

0:44:43.457 --> 0:44:47.617
<v Speaker 1>enormous hypocrisy for taking one hundred and sixty thousand pound

0:44:47.817 --> 0:44:51.977
<v Speaker 1>flight back from the Jubilee in the UK to la

0:44:52.057 --> 0:44:54.697
<v Speaker 1>in what they call a Russian oligarch style private jet

0:44:54.737 --> 0:44:58.497
<v Speaker 1>for people who don't care about the planet. Yes, here

0:44:58.577 --> 0:45:00.657
<v Speaker 1>is a news flash for anybody who didn't already know this.

0:45:01.057 --> 0:45:05.137
<v Speaker 1>Megan and Harry do not care about the planet. These

0:45:05.177 --> 0:45:07.777
<v Speaker 1>are people. They are very rich for no reason other

0:45:07.857 --> 0:45:10.977
<v Speaker 1>than being rich. People being born and in the case

0:45:11.017 --> 0:45:13.897
<v Speaker 1>of Harry being born into the royal family. Megan marrying

0:45:13.897 --> 0:45:18.417
<v Speaker 1>into that royal family. They are preposterous, They're un serious,

0:45:18.817 --> 0:45:21.657
<v Speaker 1>they aren't very bright, and I guess we can leave

0:45:21.697 --> 0:45:24.617
<v Speaker 1>it there. That's ever. Tonight's hold the line, the No

0:45:24.737 --> 0:45:43.377
<v Speaker 1>Spin news that Bill O'Reilly is next fieldside. Each morning,

0:45:43.537 --> 0:45:46.537
<v Speaker 1>the President of the United States receives a highly classified

0:45:46.537 --> 0:45:49.577
<v Speaker 1>briefing on the most important issues facing the country. It's

0:45:49.577 --> 0:45:53.097
<v Speaker 1>called the President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered by

0:45:53.137 --> 0:45:56.297
<v Speaker 1>America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear your

0:45:56.417 --> 0:45:59.617
<v Speaker 1>very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted

0:45:59.617 --> 0:46:03.257
