We appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: Gonna get to some big news for buck Sexton to 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: here in a moment, but we have got a lot 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: to discuss. Joe Biden's approval rating hits thirty three percent 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: in the New York Times poll. If it's at thirty 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: three percent in the New York Times poll, which is 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: effectively an all time low, I believe for Biden. What 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: is it in reality? Sixty four percent of Democrats of 11 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: Democrats in that same poll just came out this morning, 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: don't want Joe Biden to run. The first two COVID 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: shots are only five percent effective at keeping you from 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: getting COVID. Remember when they told you last year at 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: this time, if you get the COVID shot, you will 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: neither get nor spread COVID record scratch, Actually ninety sent 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: chance that you still will get COVID. They're only five 18 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: percent effective at protecting you. Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon. He 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: is a patron saint of those of us who have 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: refused to get the COVID shot, but he is not 21 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: eligible for the US Open or able to enter the country. 22 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,639 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris even can't talk about abortion. Twitter and Elon 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: Musk so much to get to new gengers going to 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: join US at one thirty. Ron Johnson, Senator from Wisconsin 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: at two thirty. But first, Buck Sexton is now an 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: engaged man. Congratulations, Buck, I believe based on the photo 27 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: that I saw you did it from? Is that your 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: apartment building in New York City that I have seen 29 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: amazing view up there? What was it like to actually, 30 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: you've never proposed before. Nope, you are a forty year 31 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: old man who has never been engaged, never married. What 32 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: was the experience like? And how quickly has the wedding 33 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: app paratus shifted into full speed? Because I'll tell you 34 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: when I got engaged many years ago, the thing that 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: most stunned me about it was how much knowledge women 36 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: all carry in their head about weddings that I had 37 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: never given a thought to. How quickly that process was 38 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: underway soon after I got engaged. Give you a couple 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: of things, and then I promised, we'll talk about the 40 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: news for everybody. People. People want to hear about yes, 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: they do. So. Uh. The one thing I will say 42 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: is pretty pretty funny. But she had absolutely no idea. 43 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: So I had met with her dad because I went 44 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: asked for the hand. I went down to Asheville, where 45 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: her family has a home. Yes, and obviously Asheville was 46 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: a memorable experience for many reasons. And I asked for 47 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: her hand from her father. How did you do that? 48 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: By the way, how did you end up isoed where 49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: you asked him to take me to see a piece 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: of property that they were thinking about. Smart? So we 51 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: kind of went like a walk in the woods. Yeah, 52 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And so I asked for the hand. 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: And then the plan was to just find a perfect 54 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: sunset on the rooftop when nobody nobody would be up there. Yeah, 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: and uh and I and I went up there. She 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: had no idea. So I went down was Saturday night? 57 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: Is this Saturday after Saturday night? Saturday night? Yeah? It 58 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: was really nice. I actually saw two listeners who were 59 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: visiting New York City from Chicago on our way to 60 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: the restaurant, and they're like, hey, Buck, and I was like, 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: I just got engaged, Like we listened all the times. 62 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: That was great. We had some visitors from She saw 63 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: the picture go out on social media too. You texted 64 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: Ali who also, by the way, we should mention engaged 65 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: like last week too. I know love is in the 66 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: air on the Clay and Buck Show. Yeah, there's producer 67 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: Ali is engaged a couple of weeks ago. I'm engaged now. 68 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: So as for the wedding stuff, I will tell you 69 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: man that our basic approach to this and and then 70 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: we had to start trashing Joe Biden. Our basic approach 71 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: to this is We're gonna try to throw a big, 72 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: fun engagement part at New York City for everybody. You'll 73 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: be invited the team, you know, We'll just we just 74 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: want to throw a big party in New York and 75 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: then we're gonna have a immediate family and you know, 76 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: best man, best do not best one what do you 77 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: call it? And brought made of honor or whatever. Yeah, 78 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: but like just very small um at a church sooner 79 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: rather than later, Like what's the time frame like to 80 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: get it done in the next six months, which is 81 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: the next six months? I mean, because this is my 82 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: understanding and I'm sure a lot of people out there 83 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: listening know this. This is the busiest year for weddings 84 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: on record. I believe I actually was down when I 85 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: was at Rosemary Beach one of the times Buck. I 86 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: was working out in the gym and the guy next 87 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: to me was a big fan and he owned wedding 88 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: venues all over the country West Coast primarily, and he 89 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: was talking. So I was working out there in the 90 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: in the gym. I was just sided him for fifteen 91 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: or twenty minutes on the machine and uh, and he 92 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: was talking about how busy all of it is every 93 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: day of the week. Basically, people are getting married now 94 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: because so many people couldn't in twenty twenty, twenty twenty 95 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: one because of COVID, and twenty twenty two is supposedly 96 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: the biggest wedding year ever. So this is this is 97 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: stressing me out a little bit. Now. Yeah, you know, 98 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: I'll have to figure all this stuff out, but yeah, 99 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: we can get married. So there we go fast. So 100 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: let's go. Well, congratulations. The pictures are up on social media. 101 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: They should be up on Clay and buck dot com 102 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: if they're not already.

Well, and her dad is a third generation 108 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: Fighter pilot.

You 113 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: can reach out at Buck Sexton on Twitter congratulate him. 114 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: You can also go see the pictures on his Instagram, 115 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: and I think also on Twitter, and again I think 116 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: we'll get him up at Clay and Buck dot com. 117 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: But all that fantastic. The opposite of fantastic is Joe 118 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: Biden's presidency right now. That's what you call a transition 119 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: in the business. And Buck thirty three percent approval in 120 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 1: the New York Times poll. This is the lowest Joe 121 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: Biden approval rate that I have seen anywhere. And we 122 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: know the New York Times is not exactly predisposed to 123 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: favor Republican leaning politicians or anything. If anything, this is 124 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: biased still in Biden's favor, but sixty four percent of 125 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: Democrats and you and I were texting over the weekend. 126 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: Sunday front page New York Times. Essentially that article, which 127 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: was devastating to Joe Biden, argues that he doesn't have 128 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: the capability to be president. There were a bunch of 129 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: different details, but one of them was, Hey, we're initially 130 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: planning to go from Europe to the Middle East and 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: be on the road for ten days, and we didn't 132 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: think he could do it, so we went all the 133 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: way back across the Atlantic. Now they're coming back to 134 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Israel. Buck that combo. And 135 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: the reason why it's important to me is when they 136 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: published that article on Sunday, they knew they were going 137 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: to double barrel him, for lack of a better way 138 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: to phrase it, on Monday with this poll and otherwise 139 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: other words, all of the editors had this in planning, 140 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: and it seemed like Sunday and now Monday, they are 141 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: the media now trying to make it so that Joe 142 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: Biden is unable to run for reelection in twenty four 143 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: That was my read. You agreed, disagree? How would you 144 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: assess these combo stories front page from the New York 145 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: Times and their significance. So he's the oldest president in 146 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: American history, which was actually written in the New York Times. 147 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: It's interesting, not because we didn't know that. Obviously, the 148 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: president's age has been public all along, but you don't 149 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: hear them ever say it in that way. This is 150 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: literally the oldest president we have ever had in the 151 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: history of the republic. And he's telling us he wants 152 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: six more years. Everybody, Okay, six more years is what 153 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: he is saying he wants right now. This is completely 154 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: outrageous and unacceptable, I think Clay because I was I 155 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: was looking at the parts of the New York Times 156 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: piece that really stuck out to me. First of all, 157 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: they do this thing, which is the classic, well behind 158 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: closed doors, he's sharpest attacked, and he's correcting where our 159 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: commas are misplaced in speeches, and yeah, out in public 160 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: gets a little more a touch and go. I think 161 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats have real and they said things like they're 162 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: limiting his schedule. He basically isn't available at night. They 163 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: don't let anyone see him from the press on the weekends. 164 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, this is the retired and out of 165 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: public life presidency for a guy who shouldn't have been 166 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: in charge in the first place, even when he was 167 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: in a good state of mental health. I mean, I 168 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: didn't think Joe Biden was unimpressive even before he was 169 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: in cognitive decline. But he's operating this kind of quasi 170 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: retired presidency right now, which is obviously not what we want. 171 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: Here's where I think we're heading, though. They talked about 172 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: fear of him having a sundowner moment right of sundowning, 173 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: where if you have Alzheimer's or dementia, you can from 174 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: the late afternoon into the late into the evening or 175 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: at night really just be completely not of sound mind. 176 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you can basically be speaking in gibberish. I 177 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: think the people around him are realizing, with all the 178 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: stage managing they're doing and all their word he's gonna trip. 179 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: They see that he's shuffling. This is from the New 180 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: York Times, and this is the people that are with 181 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: him all day long. Folks. Okay, they're trying to set 182 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: us up for the possibility here we may have a 183 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: president who goes full on gibberish speaking cognitive decline in 184 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: public in one incident that is irretrievable. We may have 185 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden breakdown out of the next year or sooner 186 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: and just starts spewing total nonsense. They keep saying, it's 187 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: a stutter. It's not a stutter, folks. I saw Biden 188 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: speech just twenty years ago. It's not that he is. 189 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: It's not that he has some childhood. That's a total 190 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: that's total malarkey, Okay, Clay. I think I think we 191 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: may have a real moment of crisis where it is 192 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: clear that the President of the United States in office 193 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: starts starts spewing true nonsense. I mean, starts essentially speaking 194 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: in gibberish, and we realize that the twenty fifth Amendment 195 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: actually has to be used. I think that's what people 196 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: around him are realizing. The data in here is pretty 197 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: challenging for him, right the number of and I'll just 198 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: kind of hit you with in this article in New 199 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: York Times, Joe Biden has only given thirty eight interviews 200 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: so far in his presidency. Trump did, and remember they 201 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: were always talking about Trump in the twenty fifth Amendment. 202 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: At the same period in time, Trump had done a 203 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: d and sixteen interviews Barack Obama had done a hundred 204 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: and ninety eight, and so you look at the last 205 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: couple of presidents and then I thought this was I mean, 206 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: the data points on what exactly is going on there 207 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: are pretty pretty crippling to Joe Biden. To combine this 208 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: with and Buck, the other number that's crazy about this 209 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: poll that they did that they released on the front 210 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: page of New York Times today, ninety four percent of 211 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: those under the age of thirty five do not want 212 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden to run for president. Again, these are Democrats, 213 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: sixty four percent of Democrats overall, ninety four percent of 214 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: those thirty five. And in this New York Times piece 215 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: from Sunday, Buck it says, basically the Harvard Harris poll 216 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: about the number of people that don't want him to run, 217 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: sixty percent of those sixty five and older do not 218 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: want him to run. So, look, this is a universal 219 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: belief that I think when you look at that press conference, 220 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: the awful one that he had. I guess it was 221 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: on Friday, right that we played some of the cuts 222 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: from where he reads in quote repeat the line, there 223 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: is right now an overwhelming certainty whether you're a Democrat, Republican, 224 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: or independent that Joe Biden is not in a good 225 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: place mentally, and Buck, thirty more months. As we've been 226 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: talking about on this show for a long time, look 227 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: at what the presidency did to Barack Obama, look at 228 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: what it did to Certainly, when you look at the 229 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: before and after pictures of George W. Bush, this guy 230 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: has got thirty more months minimum of being president. And 231 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 1: to your point, he's asking for four years on top 232 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: of the two and a half years that he already 233 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: has remaining. It is not conceivable to me that this 234 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: is possible. I mean, the Democrats were so dishonest and 235 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: so desperate to have somebody who could, in a pandemic year, 236 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: defeat Donald Trump that they have put a command ender 237 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: in chief in place who we can all see is 238 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: one bad day away from saying crazy stuff on live 239 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: television and drooling all over himself. One day, he couldn't 240 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: do an hour interview with us, Buck, I mean, I've 241 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: used this example before, but you and I went down 242 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: to Marrow Lago. Trump had no handlers. He set across 243 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: the table from us, and he talked to us for 244 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: a full hour. They said all the time Trump couldn't 245 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: be president because of the twenty fifth Amendment. If you 246 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: and I got invited, we never would. But if they said, hey, 247 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: we want you guys to come to the White House, 248 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: we want you to do an hour interview with Joe 249 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: Biden Buck, I legitimately believe that after one hour talking 250 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: to us, he would no longer be able to be 251 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: President of the United States. I think it would go 252 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: so poorly for Joe Biden just trying to answer our 253 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: questions without prescripting, without pre knowledge of what we were 254 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: going to ask, that I believe that he would have 255 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: to that he would have to step down one hour 256 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: with us. The good news for the republic play is 257 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 1: that they founding fathers foresaw a possibility where someone may 258 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: have to step in a vice president. Even the bad 259 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: news is that we know who the vice president is 260 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: right now, and we'll come back with If you haven't 261 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: heard this one, folks, one of the best commala moments 262 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: of all time. It's coming up in a second. Verizon 263 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: at and T and T Mobile are continue to charge 264 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: you a premium fee every month for data that you're 265 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: not even using. So instead of paying something close to 266 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a month to your current provider get 267 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: talk text and data for just thirty dollars a month 268 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: with pure Talk.

The only 275 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: thing that's different is the monthly bill.

Cities 290 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: are having a rough one last couple of years all 291 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: of the country. I know we have listeners in cities 292 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: all over America, so you know what I'm talking about. 293 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: Crime rates way up. We often focus on the violent 294 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: crime issue. Will get to some of that in a moment, 295 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: but also the day to day quality of life crimes 296 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: and the cleanliness of streets, the ability to walk down 297 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: the street and not step over needles that have been 298 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: used for illegal drug use, to step do not have 299 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: to step over human waste and refuse to put it 300 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: in polite terms. Places like San Francisco have had major 301 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: problems with this, and you may have seen over the 302 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: weekend this video is up on the Daily Mails up 303 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: on Foxnews dot com of elementary school kids getting off 304 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: the bus and having to walk through a crowd of 305 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: homeless drug addicts. This is in broad daylight, just shooting up. 306 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: Richie Wynn, who is a recovering addict self describer covering addict, 307 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: posted this video of San Francisco's open air drug market 308 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: and now I know people are going to say, well, 309 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: what what are we supposed to do or what should 310 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: they do about this? You know, we don't want to 311 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: lock people up forever. There is, in fact a middle 312 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: ground between putting someone in prison for decades for drug 313 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: use and not encouraging them to shoot up heroin in 314 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: broad daylight in front of school children. There are middle grounds, 315 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: there are things that can be done. And I think 316 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 1: one of the big lies that was told by the 317 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: defund the police and mass incarceration democrats was that your 318 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: choices are locked somebody up for thirty years for non 319 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: violent crime and do nothing. You're seeing this in San Francisco. 320 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: I even play I tweeted about this last week. It 321 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: was a fascinating exercise and how there's a left wing 322 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: mindset that they want to go and defend any kind 323 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: of criminality as as just suck it up, deal with it. 324 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: Why is it a big deal? In New York you 325 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: have these they're not even really biker gangs, because they're 326 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: on ATVs like the kind that some of you do, 327 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,959 Speaker 1: you know, off roading ATVs in rural areas on New 328 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,479 Speaker 1: York City streets, and they have illegal dirt bikes that 329 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: they'll get a hundred of them together. It makes an 330 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: incredible amount of noise. I mean like shake the windows 331 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: of everyone they drive past, and they get into these 332 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: mobs and they drive around, and it's illegal in fact 333 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: to do this. You're not allowed to do this. But 334 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: people say, oh, it's the big deal. What's the big deal? 335 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: The big deal, Clay is, as we know, criminality and 336 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 1: the decay of major cities has been encouraged by a 337 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: Democrat party that sees these things somehow as I don't 338 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: know what we deserve, what we need to suffer through 339 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: collectively as a society. They're facing real political consequences for 340 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: this now, and I think people have finally decided enough 341 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: is enough. Yeah, it is. And ultimately to me, there 342 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: are three probably main issues that the twenty twenty two 343 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: midterms are going to be decided on before all is 344 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: said and done. Inflation, gas prices, you can roll all 345 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: that in together, crime, and I still think COVID is 346 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: going to be a underlying vote for a lot of people. Now. 347 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: There are other issues foreign policy, certainly failures of the 348 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: Biden administration, woul happened in Afghanistan, combined with the Ukraine 349 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: Russia war, the border. There are lots of things you 350 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: can point to that are disasters for Joe Biden right now, 351 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: in fact, basically everything that he's touched. But the crime 352 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: on city streets and the randomized nature of it. It's 353 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,479 Speaker 1: not just crime because people can get used to the 354 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: idea of there's always going to be a criminal underworld element. 355 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: And if two guys who are involved in illicit activity 356 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: end up shooting at each other, we wish that didn't happen, 357 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: but it's not necessarily a surprise that that would occur. 358 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: What's happening more and more, and you see it in 359 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: New York City because there's so many of these stories 360 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: that go viral. But New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, LA, 361 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: basically every city in America now middle of the day 362 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: totally innocent people victims, And that didn't happen after we 363 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: got the crime wave under control in the nineties, we 364 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: drove in New York City. It's a great example. Buck, 365 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: you said, what was it, twenty six hundred murders a 366 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: year that were happening in two nine one, and it 367 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: went all the way down to under three hundred, sub 368 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: three hundred, which is an unbelievable success story. And then 369 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: the success became so pronounced that people started to feel 370 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: so safe that they said, oh, now the police are racist. 371 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: They're stopping and then questioning and frisking too many people. 372 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: And there's an owners since that security is here and now. 373 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: And I've been saying for years Buck being concerned that 374 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: the police are two owners is a luxury of a 375 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: low crime environment, and we don't have that luxury anymore. 376 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: And every American all over this country just about is 377 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: aarding to say, we've got to fix this mess. We 378 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: started to have a criminal justice system in the last 379 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: few years. Really BLM took this into a new stratosphere, 380 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: exponentially expanded upon this, or pushed the momentum even further. 381 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: We had a country where, all of a sudden, in 382 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: all of the blue enclaves, which include cities and red states, 383 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: I would note, I mean, you talk to people in Houston, 384 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: talk to people in Dallas, in Austin, they've had terrible 385 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 1: crime problems in recent years. So this isn't just a 386 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: blue state phenomenon. It's really a city anywhere phenomenon. But 387 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats run effectively every large city in the entire country. 388 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe with one or two exceptions. I think 389 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: Fort Worth is like fifty fifty Democrat Republican. But you 390 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: think of another city that is a quarter of a million, 391 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: a half a million or more, and overwhelming they're all 392 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 1: Democrat run. But what they decided was that social justice 393 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 1: and virtue signaling we're going to be running the prosecutor's 394 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: offices and the police commissioner's office. And we see how 395 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 1: that has played out all over the country. It has 396 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: been misery and despair for the law abiding. And that 397 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: brings me to this this case in New York of 398 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: Jose Alba, who is a sixty two year old bodega 399 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: worker employee, and now it turns out there's even some 400 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: audio clay where he says he was he was assaulted 401 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: by this individual's now deceased, who was on parole for 402 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: attacking a police officer and had other I believe other 403 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: criminal arrest beyond that. You see it all on the video. 404 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,719 Speaker 1: He thinks that he has a right to man handle 405 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: a person, to assault the person more behind the counter, 406 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: behind the counter of a effectively a small grocery store, 407 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: and he thinks, and it's all on very clear video, 408 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: and he decides that he's going to intimidate, He's going 409 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: to assault, He's going to threaten the man had already 410 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: Albert already been threatened with a knife by the girlfriend 411 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: came in afterwards, by the way, and did stab Alba 412 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: and was not even arrested for this or charge for 413 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: this in any way? What is the message? I ask 414 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: everybody listening to this. Yeah, there's there's you know, there's 415 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: crime happening, and all these cities across the country. In 416 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: this instance, now there's clear video, it's a national news story. 417 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: What message is Alvin Bragg, the district attorney, the progressive 418 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: sorrows back district Attorney of New York showing by charging 419 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: Jose Alba, a hard working, law abiding Latin America, American 420 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: family man. What is the lesson that is being taught 421 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: to America by this guy being charged with second degree murder? 422 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: You're not allowed to defend yourself? Do the dictates of 423 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: social justice now extend to if a criminal, if a 424 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: thug attacks you, you gotta let it happen. I'm sorry, 425 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: but there's too much oppression in the country, and you 426 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: gotta let it happen to you in this case, because 427 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: what I can't even think, I don't even know what 428 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: Bragg thinks he's doing here other than criminalizing self defense. 429 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: And I think a couple of details here for people 430 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: who may not have paid attention to this buck. This 431 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: guy was working behind the counter. Woman comes in to 432 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: buy potato chips, a bag of chips for her kid. 433 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: Tries to pay and her card is rejected. So the 434 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: guy says, you've got to put the chips back you 435 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: didn't pay for them, and she gets upset says I'm 436 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: gonna go get my boyfriend flashes to your point buck 437 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: a knife as part of this disagreement. The boyfriend comes back. 438 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: This guys what sixty two years old? Sixty one years old, 439 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean close to a senior citizen. Small guy, the 440 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: boyfriend thirty seven years old. I believe, as you mentioned, 441 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: violent felon comes around the counter corners. The owner of 442 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: this employee owners another guy. By the way, He's now 443 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: not allowed to go back to his job because the 444 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: owner is so terrified that the friends of the deceased 445 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: felon will come after him. That doesn't surprise me at all. 446 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: I think we talked about that. I said, I don't 447 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: know how he goes back to work after this comes 448 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: around the counter corners. This employee who has nowhere to go. 449 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: He's already had a knife flashed at him. He shoved 450 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: and pushed into this corner, and he reacts by grabbing 451 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: a knife that happens to be behind the counter, stabbing 452 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: this guy, and he gets charged. Initially, Buck he had 453 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bail, and they tried 454 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: to get five hundred thousand dollars bail before that, And 455 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: you can watch the video yourself. Even Mayor Adams New 456 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: York City has already come out. I don't necessarily think 457 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: this is the right move for politicians in general when 458 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: they're criminal cases proceeding. But the mayor already came out 459 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: and essentially said, hey, this looks like self defense to me, 460 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: and said that it was wrong the situation that was 461 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: in play here. This is textbook self defense, and it 462 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: is all on video, the entire exchange, and now there's 463 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: audio of it too, so there's no doubt as to 464 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,639 Speaker 1: the facts here. So again I come back to this question, 465 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: what does the District Attorney of America's you know, in 466 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: Manhattan and of America's largest city, what does he think 467 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: he is teaching the people of New York or what 468 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: is he showing them by charging this guy with murder? 469 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: I mean, what is the point of this other than 470 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: to say, when thugs come after you, when criminals assault you, 471 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 1: you let it happen, or we will lock you up, 472 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: we will send you to prison. And anybody who lives 473 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: in a city with democrats, sorrows prosecutors has got to 474 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: think this is now apparently the new normal. I am 475 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: to be physically violated and hope that I'm not choked 476 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: out to death or stabbed by the knife that this 477 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: guy had already They'd already flashed the knife at him. 478 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 1: He had every reason to believe the boyfriend had probably 479 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: taken the knife from the girlfriend and now was coming 480 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: after and behind. What are we to say other than 481 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: we are no longer in a society he worth defending 482 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: if the people in power, who are supposed to have 483 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: a monopoly on the use of force by the state 484 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: will not allow you to defend yourself in the circumstances. 485 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: And remember where all of this started. They wanted to 486 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: buy a bag of chips and didn't have the money 487 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: to buy it, and so he told them they needed 488 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,479 Speaker 1: to put the chips back, which is what employees are 489 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: supposed to do in retail establishments when people don't have 490 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: the money to buy, and she was furious over the 491 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: fact that that had occurred and brought her boyfriend in 492 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 1: to try to rough up this employee over sixty years old, 493 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: who happens to work in this little corner convenience store. 494 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: What do you think, by the way, well, what do 495 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: you think? How do you think this case goes if 496 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: the guy who gets stabbed, because again, anybody could get 497 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: upset in a moment, and you know, right, the guy 498 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: who gets stabbed is a white guy who works for 499 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: a big investment bank and he assaulted this guy. Be 500 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: do you think their second degree murder charges brought by 501 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg? No. I think the identity politics plays a 502 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: big role here, and I think honestly, if the employee 503 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: had been a white guy, it would be far more 504 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: explosive than it he is. I believe he's from the 505 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: Dominican Republican Latino. He's an immigrant. He is what we 506 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: are encouraging all the time in this country, which is 507 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: law abiding. Yes, hard working citizen people come here through 508 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: the right process, through the right way, work hard for years. 509 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: He had already been assaulted and had guns pulled on 510 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: him and knives pulled on him previously in this store, 511 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: kept showing up, kept doing his job. If we won't 512 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: stand up for Jose Alba, who do we stand up 513 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: for and doesn't have massive resources, that's the other thing here. 514 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: And so when they throw the book at him and 515 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: try to get five hundred thousand dollars in bail, effectively, 516 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: what they're saying is you aren't able to leave Rikers 517 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: the prison where he was and as you mentioned, Buck, 518 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: he was stabbed multiple times by this woman as a 519 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: part of the fallout from this fight, and so he 520 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: has wounds that I believe have since become infected after 521 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: he was put in the prison because he didn't get 522 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: the medical treatment that he needed as a guy in 523 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: his sixties based on getting knife wounds. And I believe 524 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: we said it last week when we were discussing it. 525 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: The other thing about this is the guys what does 526 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: he do for him? By the way, that now, that's 527 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: reprisal violence. When she came in there was there, It 528 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: wasn't an imminent threat against she should be charged, yes, 529 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: but she has not been charged. Why is that the case? 530 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: And but this poor guy, now who did it unleash 531 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: any of this. All he said was, hey, put the 532 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: chips back, you can't pay for them. Now this guy 533 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: is unable to go back to his job buck and 534 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: where is he going to be able to work? I 535 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: don't know how many other convenience stores. Most of these 536 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: guys don't own a lot of them. How is he 537 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: going to be able to make a living going forward? 538 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: This is just it feels like a total miscarriage. And 539 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: Go and Go fund may pulled down as defense fund. 540 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: Of course they would, That's right. They should not allowed 541 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: to raise money for your defense in this country. Innocent 542 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: until proven guilty does not count when wokeness is involved. 543 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: I hope and I bet there are a bunch of 544 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: defense attorneys in the New York area who listened to 545 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: this show. My hope is that jose Alba is going 546 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: to have great legal representation and somebody will be willing 547 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: to represent him on a pro bono basis. You know 548 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: the details on No No, But I was going to 549 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: say one other thing to add into this is that 550 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,920 Speaker 1: on the legal side, Leez Eldon, who's the Republican candidate 551 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: for governor, who's a good guy, A good candidate has 552 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: been a good congressman. He keeps making the promise he 553 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: will fire Alvin Bragg, the Disric attorney, on day one 554 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: when he becomes the governor. I think for a lot 555 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: of people that's compelling. I think it should be compelling. Oh. 556 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: I hope somebody out there who's listening to us right 557 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 1: now in the New York area would reach out and 558 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: be willing to give their legal representation for free to 559 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: a man who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it. 560 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: On nine to eleven, our nation lost nearly three thousand 561 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: people killed in a terror attack in American soil. Tunnel 562 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: to Towers has been supporting America's heroes and their families 563 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: ever since, and when a first responder, a military service 564 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: member doesn't come home and young kids are left behind, 565 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers pays off the mortgage to lift the 566 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: financial burden bring the family stability. US Army specialist Jason Wheeler, 567 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: one such hero, re enlisted after nine to eleven, but 568 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: training accident injuries left him unable to walk. After years 569 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: of trying to manage, specialist, Wheeler and his family moved 570 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: into a mortgage free smart home custom design for his needs. 571 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: Our nation's heroes, people who put their lives on the 572 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: line for our country and our communities.

We're pleased to be 579 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: joined by Senator Ron Johnson from the great state of Wisconsin. 580 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: You've got a big election battle coming up in a 581 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: little bit less than four months, and Senator appreciate you 582 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: making the time with us. I wanted to start with 583 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 1: this one. I've been following this story of weather. Through 584 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: the Reconciliation Bill, the Biden administration is going to be 585 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: able to pass potentially attacks, increase and spend hundreds of 586 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: billions of dollars more right before they get whipped in 587 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: the House and hopefully in the Senate as well. What 588 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: if anything, do you know about the timeline there and 589 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: are Republicans going to be able to basically run out 590 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: the clock and keep Joe Biden from making any worse 591 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: decisions than he's already made. Well, first of all, I 592 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: have to congratulate Buck. That's great news. Thank you, sirs 593 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: who don't know, thank you. Senator Buck is now engaged. 594 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: He is soon to be a married man. I'm a 595 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: fiance for the first time. Very exciting. That's great. But 596 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: in terms of what the Democrats might do, first of all, 597 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: understand how insane it is in terms of what they're proposing. 598 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: We've already we're at eight point six percent inflation, a 599 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: forty year high. They realize how damaging that is. I mean, Wisconsin, 600 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: of the top ten issues, that's those are all top ten, 601 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, high inflation, high gasoline prices, that's it. And 602 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: so what is their solution? More spending. Now, apparently some 603 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: of them want to increase taxes as well, and I 604 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: guess they in their minds they think, well, if it's 605 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: paid for, it's not gonna be inflationary. No, you know, 606 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: I'm not the only business guy that viewed taxes as 607 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: a cost, right, So it's you know, if you increase 608 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 1: people's taxes, a business person's tax, they'll increase their cost. 609 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: That will also drive up inflation. So it's insane. What 610 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,479 Speaker 1: they are doing. When you consider the state of our 611 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: economy right now now, I don't don't think we've got 612 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: the I haven't seen the second quarter GDP, but there 613 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: were predictions that might be negative, which would be definition 614 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: of a recession. If it isn't the true definition, it's 615 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: going to be close forty year high inflation. This is 616 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: not the time to be increasing taxes or incur massive 617 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: amounts of additional government spending that let's face it, what 618 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: they'll do, if that's spending, is they'll spend it on programs. 619 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: They'll make it possible for people to stay out of 620 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: the workforce, which exacerbates the inflationary problem because now we 621 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: have even fewer goods being produced because in Wisconsin, for example, 622 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,919 Speaker 1: manufacturers can't hire enough people. So this is insane they're 623 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: even talking about it. I mean, let's just hope because 624 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: I think Hereson Cinema has always been on the records 625 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 1: saying she doesn't want tax increases, So maybe she'll hold 626 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: out even if Joe Manson wants to increase taxes. Speaking 627 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: of Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Senator I get 628 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: to in the background, have CNN on here as I'm 629 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,800 Speaker 1: doing the show every day, and so I get exposed 630 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: to a whole lot of the fixed station on the 631 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: Jan six hearings that is ongoing. What are the Senate 632 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 1: Democrats at this point trying to accomplish I'm sorry, well, 633 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: the Congressional Democrats, I should say, what are they trying 634 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: to accomplish with this? What is the point of all 635 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: of this? And how much longer do you think this 636 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 1: charade is going to go on? Of the Democrat Jan 637 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: six show trials. I viewed this as just a massive 638 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: diversionary operation, which is what I think the Russian hoaks was, 639 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: and as a diversionary operation to take people's eyes off 640 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: of what wrongdoing occurred, whether it's John Brennan or Andrew 641 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: McCabe or James Comy or you know, any of those 642 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: corrupt individuals in our sort of law enforcement during the 643 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: last part of the Obama administration. So again, this is 644 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: just a diversion operation. They can't defend their record. And 645 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: you know, Joe Biden promised to fundamentally transform America. We're 646 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: seeing what it looks like now, open borders, a flood 647 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs for you here, I inflation 648 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: in record gasoline prices, rising crime. This is America in 649 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty two, and we don't have enough 650 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:11,479 Speaker 1: baby formula because of government, So they can't defend their 651 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: record there. And by the way, none of those things 652 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: just happened. Those were all caused by Democrat policies, democratic governments. 653 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: So all they've got is January sixth. And again, I 654 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: always thought it was amazing how within seconds of what 655 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: we all condemned by the way, the violence, they came 656 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: up with this phrase that there were thousands of armed 657 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: insurrectionists when there weren't. But I mean, I'm sorry, that 658 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 1: was not an insurrection. Violence. We condemned it, no doubt 659 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: about it. But when you look at videos of the 660 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 1: people inside the Capitol staying within the rope lines, that's 661 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: not armed insurrections to do. I would think they'd like 662 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: actually have firearms and maybe be using them and maybe 663 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: like crouching behind some of the statues. Again, this is 664 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: what the Democrats have done. They seized on January six 665 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: to first of all, divert attention away from the hundreds 666 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: of riots that caused what two billion dollars worth of damage, 667 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: two thousand law enforcement injured. You know, a couple dozen 668 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: people killed during those summer rise but don't worry about those, 669 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,399 Speaker 1: including in Kenosha, which you know, so and so many 670 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: businesses burned to the ground in Kenosha. I didn't see 671 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: any fires on January six As a matter of fact, 672 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: they didn't see any firearms in the capitol either, Because 673 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: I asked the FBI witness in one of our hearings, 674 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: said how many firearms were confiscated zeros what she testified to. 675 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: So again, this is a massive diversion operation, that's all 676 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: it is. Again, they want to make sure that the 677 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is banned from politics for life, and they 678 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: also want to paint everybody that's voted for Trump is 679 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: a potential domestic terrorist. And of course Mark Garland is 680 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 1: going right along with it. I mean, it is grotesque 681 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: the unequal administrats of justice here when you take a 682 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: look at how they are handling the January sixth defendants 683 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: versus you have a kid glove treatment for the summer writers. 684 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 1: But there's no comparison. Yeah, I don't. I'm glad you 685 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: brought that up. And by the way, I want to 686 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: encourage everybody listening right now, we're number one in Milwaukee 687 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: We appreciate everybody listening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We've got a 688 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: big audience all over the state, but a lot of 689 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 1: other people from other states as well. I would encourage 690 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: you to go to Ron Johnson for Senate dot com 691 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: because Senator Johnson is going to have a major battle 692 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: on his hands this November to get reelected to the Senate. 693 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,640 Speaker 1: We're certainly doing everything that we can on this show 694 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: to make that happen. Senator you just mentioned. We talked 695 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: that believe it's on Friday with Julie Kelly. I've donated money. 696 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 1: We got eighty people, according to her, that are still 697 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: imprisoned have not been allowed out after the January sixth riots. 698 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: How outlandish is that when you compare the way that 699 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 1: we have treated so many other actual hardened criminals all 700 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: over this country, that those people are still walcked up, 701 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: many of them in solitary confinement, and frankly a lot 702 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: of them without adequate legal representation. I think it's grow tests. 703 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: I think it's obscene. By the way, I listened to 704 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 1: your interview with the Julius. She's one of the few 705 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,319 Speaker 1: journals that are focusing on this. You know, I led 706 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,960 Speaker 1: a letter to Merrick Garland, just asking him, you know, 707 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: compare contrast how did you deal with the summer writers 708 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: versus how are you handling January sixth? And again there's 709 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,280 Speaker 1: no comparison. So I mean, I guess I've been hopeful 710 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: that their attorneys would be defending them, but I don't 711 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,919 Speaker 1: think so many of them just had public defenders who 712 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: seem to be trying to re educate them by reports, 713 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 1: and you hope that some judges would intervene here and go, 714 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: this is a grotesque miscarriage justice. Now again, I condemn 715 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: the violence. I want to see anybody that committed acts 716 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: the violence to be prosecuted full extended the law. But 717 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 1: what happened to speedy trial? These people have been languishing 718 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: and they don't even have courtdate set. No, it is 719 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: it is a travesty of justice at this point in 720 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: time in terms of how these defendants are being held. Again, 721 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: I'm not defending the violence whatsoever, but we do have 722 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: a just as process. It's supposed to be equal justice, 723 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 1: and of course we know it's not. Take a look 724 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: at the kid run club or kid glove treatment for Hunter. 725 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: Biden speaking to Senator Ron Johnson, Senator very important that 726 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: you win your reelection to all of us, to our audience. 727 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: So where can folks go to your website to get 728 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 1: involved to help out, well, it is Ron Johnson to Senate. 729 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: Also with all the wise and distortions.

I got the media. So 734 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 1: if you want to know the truth, go to wis 735 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 1: facts dot com.

It's happening more and more. 748 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: Here's what happens there. Cyber thieves combine your real social 749 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: Security number with a mismatched or phony name to create 750 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,320 Speaker 1: new identities. They then use that bogus info to apply 751 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 1: for credit cards, unemployment benefits, all different sorts of things 752 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: like that, for instance, Eventually you're the one stuck with 753 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: liability and a mess to clean up.

Welcome back in Clay. 763 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: Travis Buck Sexton show Buck Over the weekend, I believe 764 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 1: you actually watched a sporting event. Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon, 765 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: and he is one of the guys alongside of Kyrie 766 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 1: Irving in the NBA, Aaron Rodgers in the NFL, who 767 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: has been willing to discuss the fact that he did 768 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,280 Speaker 1: not get the COVID shot. And I have stopped calling 769 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 1: it the COVID vaccine because it's not a vaccine. Data 770 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: has come out recently and it's only continuing to get 771 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: worse from here. We hired Ian Miller at Ian MC 772 00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: We've had him on the show a couple of times, 773 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 1: does a great job at the data. He has an 774 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 1: article up at OutKick right now. The first two COVID shots, 775 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 1: the Maderna or the Fiser shots that many of you 776 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 1: may have been forced to get at work. You may 777 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: have gotten because a year ago you believed what the 778 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: government was telling you. They are now five percent effective 779 00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: at keeping you from getting COVID. The third booster is 780 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 1: only twenty percent effective. These numbers would never have gotten 781 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: these shots approved by the FDA, which wants it to 782 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: be over fifty percent efficacy to call it a vaccine. 783 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,360 Speaker 1: So I want to play this audio for you, Buck. 784 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: You and I have been talking about how they're ramping 785 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: up the COVID fear porn as I have called it 786 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 1: for some time as we move into the fall. And 787 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 1: Djokovic was asked, he's not allowed to come into the country. 788 00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,560 Speaker 1: We still have a restriction for foreign visitor who have 789 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: not gotten the cod shot. You are not eligible to 790 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 1: come into the country, evidently, and so Djokovic will not 791 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 1: be able to actually play at the US Open, And 792 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,840 Speaker 1: he was asked about that decision. He wasn't able to 793 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:20,160 Speaker 1: go to the Australian Open. And I think we talk 794 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: a lot about athletes being brave and taking risks and 795 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: being outspoken. It's funny how Djokovic is not a hero 796 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 1: because he's saying something that the left wing in the 797 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: country is upset about when it comes to the COVID shot. 798 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: But I want you to listen to him here and then, Buck, 799 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,479 Speaker 1: I'm curious what you think, as a big tennis fan 800 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,439 Speaker 1: about the idea that the US Open, which is in 801 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 1: your home state basically of New York, would not have 802 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: the best tennis player in the world arguably able to 803 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: compete over this ridiculousness. Listen to them all vaccinated, and 804 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 1: I'm not planning to get vaccinated. So the only good 805 00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:02,239 Speaker 1: news I can have is them removing the mandate mandated 806 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,879 Speaker 1: green vaccine card or whatever you call it to enter 807 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: the United States or exemption it's or yeah, I don't 808 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 1: know what. I don't think the exemption is realistically possible, 809 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,760 Speaker 1: or if that is possibility, I don't know what exemption 810 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,439 Speaker 1: would be about. So I don't know that I don't 811 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 1: have much chances there. I think it's just whether or 812 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: not they remove this in time for me to get 813 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: to your say, what do you think about this? I 814 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 1: mean a lot of you, by the way, when I 815 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 1: shared this story on social media, said he should just 816 00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,760 Speaker 1: come up through the southern border. They're letting everybody across there, 817 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: and they're not mandating that those people have COVID shots 818 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: in order to enter our country, which is true, and 819 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: it's sad and it's ridiculous, and it's obviously satire. But 820 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 1: I feel like maybe his best route to the US 821 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 1: open is just to go down to Mexico and walk 822 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: right across the border instead of flying. In the fact 823 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: that there are so many people that are still willing 824 00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: to go along with this, I think is part of 825 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,719 Speaker 1: what you and I have talked about a bit and 826 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,879 Speaker 1: will continue to talk about here, which is there is 827 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: a mental health breakdown that has occurred in this nation 828 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,160 Speaker 1: and around the world because not of COVID per se, 829 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 1: but the way COVID was handled and the response to COVID, 830 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: Because if it had really just been about the data, 831 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 1: if it had really been about what was truly at 832 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 1: a risk for individuals, this would have been something that 833 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: was of high concern for senior citizens effectively, and everybody 834 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: else would have largely just said, look, i might get sick. 835 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm one of the very unlucky who's at low 836 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: risk who will have a really bad outcome, but I'm 837 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,839 Speaker 1: just going to live my life, and I'm just going 838 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 1: to live my life. Should have been everyone's attitude more 839 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: or less starting in the summer of twenty twenty, and 840 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: that there are so many people that are still willing 841 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: to do this to this day, I think just shows 842 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 1: you this is about power now, and this is about 843 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 1: people who want an affirmation that they were on the 844 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,640 Speaker 1: right side of history when they were on the wrong 845 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: side of history. Yeah, this is Novak Djokovic is a 846 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 1: big thumb in the eye of the establishment. I mean, 847 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,279 Speaker 1: I really believe this by the way. I mean you 848 00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 1: may have seen it. I tweeted about this over the weekend. 849 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: Until people in this country see Fauci as the moral 850 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 1: and policy equivalent of a biosecurity war criminal, we have 851 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,880 Speaker 1: not actually looked at the full scope of what was 852 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: done to in this country, of people who were told 853 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 1: they weren't able to hug their dying relatives, of people 854 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,480 Speaker 1: whose businesses were destroyed, of people who were fired from 855 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 1: decades of military service for not getting a vaccine, that 856 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 1: if they looked at the data, now, would the first 857 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 1: vaccine even really be approved? You have to wonder about this, No, 858 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 1: it would, you know, with the very first at five 859 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 1: percent effectiveness, there is a zero percent chance that this 860 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:57,400 Speaker 1: thing would get approved. But I worried Clay and on 861 00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: one part. One thing that kept coming with my mind 862 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,759 Speaker 1: over the week end is I you read I think 863 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 1: I told you I read Unbroken recently. You know the 864 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 1: book Unbroken, unfortunately made into a bad movie by Angelina Jolie, 865 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 1: but a very good book about Zamparini, who was this 866 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:17,080 Speaker 1: track unbelievable Louis Zampreti. It's an amazing book for anybody. 867 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,160 Speaker 1: I haven't read it. I highly recommend But it's fascinating 868 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 1: because the Japanese treatment of prisoners of war. First, the 869 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,800 Speaker 1: Japanese treatment of the Chinese was on a same plane 870 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 1: of moral atrocity as anything else that occurred in World 871 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,920 Speaker 1: War Two. Murdered and raped millions of people, it was 872 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:40,240 Speaker 1: absolutely horrific. But the Japanese, the Japanese treatment of American 873 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: prisoners of war were true war crimes, right of the 874 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,839 Speaker 1: worst kind. And initially when Japan surrendered, there was this 875 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: sense of they need to you know, we're gonna hunt 876 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 1: down the war criminals and hold them. But then there 877 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 1: was a movement within Japan, including somebody who later on 878 00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,759 Speaker 1: who was initially thought of as a war criminals, later 879 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Japan, of hey, we need to 880 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: forget Oh yeah, we did some bad stuff. Everybody does 881 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: some bad stuff, but you know, we need to move 882 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,240 Speaker 1: on to other thinking. And there was a whole shift internally. 883 00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 1: It didn't want to spend time thinking about this, didn't 884 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,880 Speaker 1: want to spend time. And I worried that there's something 885 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: like that with the COVID lockdowns and then the mask 886 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: mandates and the vaccination mandates going on now, where people 887 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 1: just are deciding we can't even handle the reality of 888 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: how stupid and oppressive this was. I'm not saying it 889 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,319 Speaker 1: was as bad as the treatment of POWs, but I'm 890 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 1: just saying this is the there's a unwillingness to grapple 891 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 1: with what we have done, the same way that they 892 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,160 Speaker 1: were unwilling to grapple with the atrocities they committed in Japan. 893 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of Look, I'm just 894 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: gonna say, a lot of leftists in this country who 895 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 1: are just pretending like they were right all along here 896 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: or they just don't want to talk about it because 897 00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 1: they did tremendous damage to people and they're still doing it. 898 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I've got to pull up right now. You 899 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:58,040 Speaker 1: guys can go vote at Clay Travis. Do you believe 900 00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: that Djokovic should be able to play in the US Open? 901 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 1: Simple question? Should he be able to enter the country 902 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 1: and play in the US Open? You went to the 903 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 1: US Open last year, if I remember correctly, Buck, I'm 904 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: gonna go again this year. Yeah, isn't it crazy that 905 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 1: Djokovic would not be able to play? Right? But so 906 00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 1: that the bureaucracy of the USTA is super left wing, 907 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 1: no surprise to you. As a sports guy. I know 908 00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: that from people who have been coaches and who have 909 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 1: played some of the you know, satellite tournaments, et cetera. 910 00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,720 Speaker 1: Super left wing bureaucracy, and tennis is popular. It's more 911 00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,000 Speaker 1: popular probably in this country with Democrats than it is 912 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 1: with Republicans. As a spectator sport, I'm just a few 913 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,920 Speaker 1: sports like that. Yeah, I'm just guessing tennis is one 914 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,360 Speaker 1: of them. So this is why they're very you know, 915 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,360 Speaker 1: they they have they had very you know, very clear 916 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 1: policies about vaccine mandates. And there are a lot of 917 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 1: people I saw I went outdoors to the US Open 918 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 1: last year. People were masked outside. There was a lot 919 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: of that going on. You had to show your COVID 920 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,160 Speaker 1: shots to be able to get in. Are theoretically right? 921 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean there was a pretty quick glance, but they 922 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: were shouting and everybody to show their their vaccine cards. Um. 923 00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,760 Speaker 1: I really do think that there are a lot of people, 924 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, and for people say, well, how bad is it? 925 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 1: Economists this past weekend had a big story. You know what. 926 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: It was the global learning loss that has occurred that 927 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,200 Speaker 1: will result in not just developmental delay, but likely a 928 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:21,360 Speaker 1: developmental gap, particularly in poorer countries and the poorer people 929 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 1: in those countries, they will never get to the level 930 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: of literacy and basic academic capability, basic understanding of complex 931 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 1: systems that they would learn in school. They will never 932 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,799 Speaker 1: get there, and they'll never really even be able to 933 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,480 Speaker 1: calculate how bad this damage is. But now the Democrats 934 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,600 Speaker 1: and the people that push this stuff and the bureaucracy 935 00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: is turning around saying, well, nobody could have known. That 936 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,520 Speaker 1: is a lie. They're lying to you. I mean the 937 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:49,319 Speaker 1: scope of I mean, you know you and I talk 938 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: about this here. I think there needs to be more 939 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:56,360 Speaker 1: conservative media focus on this. The devastation and the to 940 00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 1: the brink of totalitarianism that we suffered through because of 941 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: COVID is not something that we should just let pass, 942 00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 1: and especially as we're going into an election. Here, I 943 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 1: want to read a tweet for you that will perfectly 944 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:14,239 Speaker 1: crystallize this from Randy Weingarten. She just sent it out, 945 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,880 Speaker 1: which I will hit you with when we come back 946 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:21,400 Speaker 1: in the next segment. This should be the single issue 947 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 1: that motivates every single person. Do you believe that the 948 00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,720 Speaker 1: Florida's and the Tennessee's and the Georgia's and the Texas 949 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: and the Red States versus New York California. This is 950 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 1: your chance to have a referendum on COVID because they're 951 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 1: not letting it disappear. They're trying to bring it back 952 00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,080 Speaker 1: again as we get ready for the mid terms. Talk 953 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,239 Speaker 1: about that too. Men's dress yous are not known for 954 00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 1: their comfort style. Yes, good looking, sure, comfortable, not very often. 955 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 1: That's all changed thanks to Wolf and Shepherd.
