President Joe Biden is 4 00:00:22,857 --> 00:00:25,177 Speaker 1: making a plea to federal lawmakers to take action to 5 00:00:25,297 --> 00:00:28,457 Speaker 1: curb gun violence in America. Of course, Democrats never explained 6 00:00:28,497 --> 00:00:31,577 Speaker 1: how their legislation would stop the shootings. As a matter 7 00:00:31,577 --> 00:00:33,977 Speaker 1: of fact, their ideas tend to have the opposite of 8 00:00:34,017 --> 00:00:36,737 Speaker 1: their intended effect. And it's all good though, as long 9 00:00:36,737 --> 00:00:39,977 Speaker 1: as they do something right. That's what they seem to think. Friends, 10 00:00:40,137 --> 00:00:48,617 Speaker 1: it's time for hold the line. Welcome to hold on. 11 00:00:48,697 --> 00:00:51,817 Speaker 1: I'm Buck Sexton. He had another chance last night, Joe Biden, 12 00:00:51,857 --> 00:00:54,137 Speaker 1: President of United States. Better for worse. I think we 13 00:00:54,177 --> 00:00:56,937 Speaker 1: all see it's pretty much always for worse. But he 14 00:00:56,937 --> 00:00:59,697 Speaker 1: had an opportunity to bring together the American people and 15 00:00:59,977 --> 00:01:04,457 Speaker 1: say some intelligent things, first of all, about the national 16 00:01:04,857 --> 00:01:07,457 Speaker 1: healing process that should still be underwear in the aftermath 17 00:01:07,457 --> 00:01:10,857 Speaker 1: of the horrific shooting in Uvalde, amongst some other shootings 18 00:01:10,897 --> 00:01:12,897 Speaker 1: as well in recent days that having gotten nearly as 19 00:01:12,937 --> 00:01:17,577 Speaker 1: much attention but also atrocious the shooting in Oklahoma, for example. 20 00:01:18,497 --> 00:01:21,977 Speaker 1: But Joe Biden took the opportunity to give a speech 21 00:01:22,057 --> 00:01:25,977 Speaker 1: that was rooted in emotional blackmail, a lot of untruth, 22 00:01:26,097 --> 00:01:29,977 Speaker 1: a lot of misdirection, and was basically just an opportunity 23 00:01:30,457 --> 00:01:34,777 Speaker 1: to attack his political opponents instead of actually looking at 24 00:01:34,817 --> 00:01:38,577 Speaker 1: what would be serious about trying to stop violence in 25 00:01:38,617 --> 00:01:41,577 Speaker 1: this country. Joe Biden wants to tell you how much 26 00:01:41,577 --> 00:01:44,497 Speaker 1: he hates the NRA and the gun owners out there 27 00:01:44,497 --> 00:01:47,177 Speaker 1: who don't want to go along with this. Here he says, though, 28 00:01:47,217 --> 00:01:52,257 Speaker 1: that he has by partisan legislation to do something. This time, 29 00:01:53,417 --> 00:01:56,577 Speaker 1: we have to take the time to do something, and 30 00:01:56,617 --> 00:02:00,537 Speaker 1: this time it's time for the Senate to do something. 31 00:02:01,137 --> 00:02:03,657 Speaker 1: But as we know, in order to do any get 32 00:02:03,697 --> 00:02:06,057 Speaker 1: anything done in the Senate, we need a minimum of 33 00:02:06,137 --> 00:02:11,377 Speaker 1: ten Republican senators. I support the partisan efforts that include 34 00:02:11,417 --> 00:02:14,497 Speaker 1: small group of Democrats and Republicans centers trying to find 35 00:02:14,497 --> 00:02:18,697 Speaker 1: a way, But my god, the fact that the majority 36 00:02:18,697 --> 00:02:22,297 Speaker 1: of the Senate Republicans don't want any of these proposals 37 00:02:22,617 --> 00:02:26,377 Speaker 1: even to be debated or come up for a vote, 38 00:02:27,377 --> 00:02:32,137 Speaker 1: I find unconscionable. We can't fail the American people again. 39 00:02:33,657 --> 00:02:36,897 Speaker 1: Do what, Joe, That's really what this comes in. Okay, 40 00:02:36,937 --> 00:02:38,977 Speaker 1: do what we'll talk about some of the things that 41 00:02:39,017 --> 00:02:41,137 Speaker 1: he said should be done. And see, the reason they 42 00:02:41,137 --> 00:02:43,177 Speaker 1: want to get so much of the emotion out there 43 00:02:43,377 --> 00:02:46,817 Speaker 1: is that they just want a mobilized mentality on this 44 00:02:46,897 --> 00:02:50,657 Speaker 1: issue without having to explain how then the actions that 45 00:02:50,737 --> 00:02:55,657 Speaker 1: they want taken wouldn't actually change anything that we've seen 46 00:02:55,777 --> 00:02:58,457 Speaker 1: going on. And for example, Biden mentioned there have been 47 00:02:58,657 --> 00:03:01,297 Speaker 1: twenty mass shootings. Now, how you define mass shootings is 48 00:03:01,337 --> 00:03:04,497 Speaker 1: something that people There are different definitions of it out there, 49 00:03:04,497 --> 00:03:06,617 Speaker 1: but usually it's three or more people who have been shot. 50 00:03:06,857 --> 00:03:10,977 Speaker 1: Often these mass shootings involve gang activity and other criminal 51 00:03:11,017 --> 00:03:16,417 Speaker 1: activity that is completely in a different category from the 52 00:03:16,497 --> 00:03:19,897 Speaker 1: kind of mass murder that we saw in that school 53 00:03:19,897 --> 00:03:22,177 Speaker 1: in Uval Day. But here's Biden saying, there have been 54 00:03:22,217 --> 00:03:25,537 Speaker 1: twenty mass shooting since you've all day watched, since Valdi 55 00:03:25,857 --> 00:03:28,817 Speaker 1: just over a week ago, there have been twenty other 56 00:03:28,937 --> 00:03:32,657 Speaker 1: mass shootings in America, each with four or more people 57 00:03:32,737 --> 00:03:39,417 Speaker 1: killed or injured, including yesterday at a hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 58 00:03:39,657 --> 00:03:43,577 Speaker 1: a shooter to liberally target a surgeon using an assault 59 00:03:43,617 --> 00:03:45,377 Speaker 1: up and he bought just a few hours before his 60 00:03:45,537 --> 00:03:50,937 Speaker 1: rampage that left a surgeon, another doctor, receptionist and a 61 00:03:50,977 --> 00:03:56,457 Speaker 1: patient dead and many more injured. That doesn't count the 62 00:03:56,497 --> 00:04:01,057 Speaker 1: carnage we see every single day. It doesn't make the headlines. 63 00:04:02,537 --> 00:04:06,057 Speaker 1: So how would any of the things which include an 64 00:04:06,057 --> 00:04:11,697 Speaker 1: assault rifle, band, magazine limitation, How would any of these 65 00:04:11,737 --> 00:04:17,057 Speaker 1: things that he wants, safe storage requirements, red flag laws 66 00:04:17,697 --> 00:04:19,737 Speaker 1: would they have stopped? He said there have been twenty 67 00:04:19,737 --> 00:04:22,057 Speaker 1: mass shootings. Would they have stopped any of those mass shooting? 68 00:04:22,537 --> 00:04:25,177 Speaker 1: If the answer is yes, Joe Biden should tell us 69 00:04:25,657 --> 00:04:28,457 Speaker 1: how and which mass shooting would have been stopped. Let's 70 00:04:28,457 --> 00:04:32,617 Speaker 1: just say, for example, the shooter in Tulsa, Oklahoma, had 71 00:04:32,657 --> 00:04:35,217 Speaker 1: been told sorry, there's an assault rifle ban. In effect, 72 00:04:35,737 --> 00:04:38,377 Speaker 1: shooter could have just bought a pistol, just as lethal, 73 00:04:38,417 --> 00:04:41,737 Speaker 1: could have used two pistols, like the horrific mass shooting 74 00:04:41,777 --> 00:04:44,297 Speaker 1: at Virginia Tech, where it was two pistols. It was 75 00:04:44,337 --> 00:04:46,177 Speaker 1: not a rifle that was used in that mass shooting. 76 00:04:46,657 --> 00:04:48,457 Speaker 1: In fact, if you look at the ford Hood shooting, 77 00:04:48,457 --> 00:04:51,937 Speaker 1: another mass shooting, high casualty account many debts attributed to 78 00:04:51,977 --> 00:04:56,617 Speaker 1: that incident. That horrific incident, pistols, not a rifle. So 79 00:04:57,297 --> 00:05:01,057 Speaker 1: changing the weapon isn't going to actually change the lethal 80 00:05:01,097 --> 00:05:05,017 Speaker 1: intent of psychopathic Hillers, So how would it have stopped anything? 81 00:05:05,017 --> 00:05:08,337 Speaker 1: He doesn't even pretend that he has an answer to that. 82 00:05:08,897 --> 00:05:11,937 Speaker 1: But what he does want, of worse is political mobilization. Here. 83 00:05:11,937 --> 00:05:16,137 Speaker 1: He wants people who are Democrats and I guess some independence, 84 00:05:16,137 --> 00:05:18,177 Speaker 1: although he's not winning over any independence with this from 85 00:05:18,257 --> 00:05:21,697 Speaker 1: the numbers that we can see. He wants his political rivals, 86 00:05:21,777 --> 00:05:25,177 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, to suffer the consequences of not going 87 00:05:25,217 --> 00:05:28,777 Speaker 1: along with these proposals that quite clearly would do nothing 88 00:05:28,817 --> 00:05:33,777 Speaker 1: to stop gun violence in any meaningful way. Why. I've 89 00:05:33,777 --> 00:05:36,737 Speaker 1: been in this fight for a long time. I know 90 00:05:36,777 --> 00:05:41,937 Speaker 1: how hard it is, but I'll never give up. Congress fails, 91 00:05:42,537 --> 00:05:44,657 Speaker 1: I believe this time a majority of the American people 92 00:05:44,657 --> 00:05:47,377 Speaker 1: won't give up either. I believe the majority of you 93 00:05:47,457 --> 00:05:50,017 Speaker 1: will act to turn your outrage into making this issue 94 00:05:50,297 --> 00:05:57,417 Speaker 1: central to your vote. Enough enough, No, he's wrong, that's 95 00:05:57,457 --> 00:06:00,697 Speaker 1: not going to happen. But it does make the left 96 00:06:00,777 --> 00:06:04,977 Speaker 1: wing anti gun base feel good about themselves. Really, so 97 00:06:05,057 --> 00:06:08,177 Speaker 1: much of Democrat politics around guns is just they don't 98 00:06:08,177 --> 00:06:11,937 Speaker 1: like gun owners in general, lawful gun owners, criminals Democrats 99 00:06:11,977 --> 00:06:14,657 Speaker 1: always have a soft spot for, but lawful gun owners 100 00:06:14,697 --> 00:06:17,497 Speaker 1: they do not like, and they want to always remind 101 00:06:18,137 --> 00:06:22,657 Speaker 1: everybody of that fact in whatever ways they can. Um karine. 102 00:06:22,737 --> 00:06:25,977 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre says that Biden knows how to get things 103 00:06:25,977 --> 00:06:29,377 Speaker 1: done because he's taken on the gun lobby. Watch thanks. 104 00:06:30,017 --> 00:06:33,057 Speaker 1: If the resident thinks that Congress must act immediately to 105 00:06:33,497 --> 00:06:35,897 Speaker 1: end this apidemic of gun violence, is he going to 106 00:06:35,937 --> 00:06:38,337 Speaker 1: bring any of the key players from Capitol Hill to 107 00:06:38,377 --> 00:06:44,257 Speaker 1: the beach with him tonight? Okay? Um uh so, I 108 00:06:44,297 --> 00:06:48,857 Speaker 1: don't have a whole thing that he knows how to 109 00:06:48,897 --> 00:06:50,897 Speaker 1: get things done. He does, he does. I mean, he's 110 00:06:51,057 --> 00:06:56,177 Speaker 1: he's beating the gun lobby before he has but it's 111 00:06:56,217 --> 00:06:58,137 Speaker 1: not it's not say this is how it's done, but 112 00:06:58,177 --> 00:07:00,817 Speaker 1: it's not his thing. It's actually fact we saw he 113 00:07:00,937 --> 00:07:04,297 Speaker 1: did that in the Senate during his crow Congress days, 114 00:07:04,297 --> 00:07:08,217 Speaker 1: that he beat the gun lobby. Think about this beat 115 00:07:08,417 --> 00:07:13,977 Speaker 1: the gun lobby as if there's some all powerful enemy 116 00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:17,097 Speaker 1: out there. That's the gun lobby. The problem that they 117 00:07:17,137 --> 00:07:20,017 Speaker 1: have is gun owners, as in Americans who have Second 118 00:07:20,017 --> 00:07:23,337 Speaker 1: Amendment rights who don't agree with this nonsense. That's it. 119 00:07:23,377 --> 00:07:24,937 Speaker 1: At the end of the day. By the way, since 120 00:07:24,937 --> 00:07:30,017 Speaker 1: we're talking about ending or rather limiting mitigating violence to 121 00:07:30,057 --> 00:07:32,457 Speaker 1: the greatest of your possible loss of life. Look at 122 00:07:32,457 --> 00:07:34,577 Speaker 1: Democrat policies and cities all across the country. Do you 123 00:07:34,577 --> 00:07:36,857 Speaker 1: think they're really strict about enforcing gun crimes when it 124 00:07:36,897 --> 00:07:40,097 Speaker 1: comes to when it comes to people who are associated 125 00:07:40,137 --> 00:07:43,257 Speaker 1: with gangs, people who have a previous criminal history. Not 126 00:07:43,377 --> 00:07:48,897 Speaker 1: in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago. Oh no, no, 127 00:07:49,017 --> 00:07:52,817 Speaker 1: they're letting them walk. In many cases, they're giving them 128 00:07:52,897 --> 00:07:55,377 Speaker 1: plea bargains that they should never be handing to people 129 00:07:55,377 --> 00:07:57,857 Speaker 1: with any kind of violent intent who are carrying firearms 130 00:07:57,857 --> 00:08:01,257 Speaker 1: on the streets. But you know, social justice. And then 131 00:08:01,297 --> 00:08:06,377 Speaker 1: there's this Oregon's decriminalization of drugs, for example, Democrats push 132 00:08:06,457 --> 00:08:09,377 Speaker 1: this Oregan's first in the nation's scheme to decriminalize drugs 133 00:08:09,377 --> 00:08:12,057 Speaker 1: and encourage those possessing them to seek medical help has 134 00:08:12,057 --> 00:08:15,697 Speaker 1: been blighted with problems. They've had a seven hundred percent 135 00:08:15,737 --> 00:08:19,057 Speaker 1: increase in overdoses in the past year seven x. Another 136 00:08:19,097 --> 00:08:22,537 Speaker 1: Democrat policy like going soft on crime, like defunding police 137 00:08:22,577 --> 00:08:25,657 Speaker 1: that results in people dying in large numbers. Why don't 138 00:08:25,657 --> 00:08:28,537 Speaker 1: they address that? Because these large numbers of people that 139 00:08:28,577 --> 00:08:31,737 Speaker 1: are dying from this one hundred thousand plus overdoses last year. 140 00:08:31,897 --> 00:08:36,337 Speaker 1: Now Democrats would rather just do a lot of virtue signaling. 141 00:08:38,057 --> 00:08:39,777 Speaker 1: Let's talk about protecting your home first. I don't know 142 00:08:39,777 --> 00:08:41,257 Speaker 1: if you saw this. There was a recent story about 143 00:08:41,257 --> 00:08:43,417 Speaker 1: an Arizona real estate agent who found that the home 144 00:08:43,497 --> 00:08:45,817 Speaker 1: she lived and was listed for sale. That's fine, right, 145 00:08:45,817 --> 00:08:48,697 Speaker 1: except no, it wasn't actually selling her home. He was 146 00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:51,097 Speaker 1: the victim of home title fraud, a devastating crime that 147 00:08:51,137 --> 00:08:53,457 Speaker 1: happens all over the country. According to the experts at 148 00:08:53,497 --> 00:08:55,857 Speaker 1: home title lock, the crime is incredibly profitable and hard 149 00:08:55,857 --> 00:08:58,817 Speaker 1: to detect. An identity thief simply creates a fake title 150 00:08:58,857 --> 00:09:00,977 Speaker 1: transfer for your home and refiles as the new owner. 151 00:09:01,217 --> 00:09:03,017 Speaker 1: Then he can take out loans on your home or 152 00:09:03,057 --> 00:09:06,017 Speaker 1: sell it. Typical identity theft services don't cover you, and 153 00:09:06,097 --> 00:09:09,937 Speaker 1: neither does homeowners insurance. Home title lock does. Home title 154 00:09:10,177 --> 00:09:12,537 Speaker 1: puts a barrier around your home's titled the instant. They 155 00:09:12,537 --> 00:09:15,137 Speaker 1: detect anyone tampered with your home's title, They help shut 156 00:09:15,137 --> 00:09:17,017 Speaker 1: it down, and they help get your home back in 157 00:09:17,097 --> 00:09:20,177 Speaker 1: your name.

David, thanks 200 00:12:01,097 --> 00:12:04,697 Speaker 1: for being with us, Thanks for having me. So this 201 00:12:04,817 --> 00:12:08,977 Speaker 1: is officially someone arrested for attempted murder of a sitting 202 00:12:08,977 --> 00:12:12,897 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justice. Don't I don't know how much digging 203 00:12:12,937 --> 00:12:18,337 Speaker 1: around you did, David into the Democrat media, but this 204 00:12:18,497 --> 00:12:23,177 Speaker 1: was covered, if at all, as like a page seven 205 00:12:23,297 --> 00:12:26,537 Speaker 1: midway down the fold story. In a way, it was 206 00:12:26,577 --> 00:12:29,337 Speaker 1: pretty shocking. No mention of it at all last night 207 00:12:29,537 --> 00:12:32,777 Speaker 1: on PBS airwaves or on PBS's website. It may may 208 00:12:32,857 --> 00:12:36,457 Speaker 1: have updated it today, but this happened yesterday. It was 209 00:12:36,497 --> 00:12:39,337 Speaker 1: a minor news item in either the New York Times 210 00:12:39,377 --> 00:12:41,657 Speaker 1: a Washington Post. I can't remember now which one it was. 211 00:12:42,377 --> 00:12:46,497 Speaker 1: But if this had been let's say, you had a 212 00:12:46,617 --> 00:12:50,737 Speaker 1: sodomayor under similar threat with a pending decision, does anyone 213 00:12:50,777 --> 00:12:52,777 Speaker 1: think that the media wouldn't act like this was the 214 00:12:52,817 --> 00:12:54,737 Speaker 1: great And by the way, it is a grave threat 215 00:12:54,777 --> 00:12:58,777 Speaker 1: to the institutions of our government. But it feels like 216 00:12:58,777 --> 00:13:00,777 Speaker 1: the partisanship is all that really matters to a lot 217 00:13:00,817 --> 00:13:04,617 Speaker 1: of the folks in the media. Well, yeah, it doesn't 218 00:13:04,697 --> 00:13:07,097 Speaker 1: get tiring to always say. Imagine if it had been 219 00:13:07,537 --> 00:13:10,937 Speaker 1: you know, a liberal who has happened to you or whatever, 220 00:13:11,097 --> 00:13:13,137 Speaker 1: you'd have you know, we'd have we'd be in the 221 00:13:13,137 --> 00:13:17,977 Speaker 1: midst of a national conversation about right wing violence. You know, 222 00:13:18,537 --> 00:13:20,297 Speaker 1: it would be front page news. We'd still we talk, 223 00:13:20,377 --> 00:13:22,937 Speaker 1: we'd be talking about it all the time on every 224 00:13:22,937 --> 00:13:26,377 Speaker 1: single cable network. And these people just simply don't care 225 00:13:26,577 --> 00:13:30,977 Speaker 1: because they other people incite and instigate this sort of thing. 226 00:13:31,017 --> 00:13:33,697 Speaker 1: And it's not just I'm not saying that Chuck Schumer, 227 00:13:34,257 --> 00:13:37,497 Speaker 1: you know, is responsible for the actions of a madman, 228 00:13:37,977 --> 00:13:41,297 Speaker 1: but I will say that it's not. It's it's the 229 00:13:41,457 --> 00:13:46,737 Speaker 1: constantly calling people child murderers, fascists, insurrectionists. You're talking about 230 00:13:47,337 --> 00:13:51,177 Speaker 1: people on the right and dehumanizing them. So if I 231 00:13:51,217 --> 00:13:53,737 Speaker 1: thought those things were true that they said, I would 232 00:13:53,737 --> 00:13:55,217 Speaker 1: pick up a gun too. I mean, we'd all want 233 00:13:55,217 --> 00:13:57,417 Speaker 1: to pick up guns. It would be a rational thing 234 00:13:57,457 --> 00:13:59,537 Speaker 1: to do. But it's of course an insidious lie, and 235 00:13:59,617 --> 00:14:01,977 Speaker 1: yet they do it all the time. And it's it's 236 00:14:02,017 --> 00:14:06,137 Speaker 1: just this whole rhetoric that you see on MSNBC that 237 00:14:06,217 --> 00:14:08,777 Speaker 1: now you hear senators. I mean, Chuck Schumer is a 238 00:14:08,897 --> 00:14:11,657 Speaker 1: very powerful man, and the things he said in that clip, 239 00:14:11,977 --> 00:14:17,617 Speaker 1: I mean there's specific threats to specific people. It's just insanity. Yeah, 240 00:14:17,657 --> 00:14:19,577 Speaker 1: I mean to anybody would say, well, oh, he's just 241 00:14:19,617 --> 00:14:23,857 Speaker 1: talking about what political consequences they have lifetime appointments to 242 00:14:23,857 --> 00:14:27,577 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court? Well, how are they gonna feel the 243 00:14:27,617 --> 00:14:30,617 Speaker 1: fury of the public for a decision that some leftist 244 00:14:30,697 --> 00:14:32,977 Speaker 1: lunatics don't like. I mean, there's you know, it's not 245 00:14:33,017 --> 00:14:35,617 Speaker 1: like when you're running against somebody in the general election 246 00:14:35,657 --> 00:14:37,657 Speaker 1: you're saying, oh, you know, you're gonna feel the fury 247 00:14:37,697 --> 00:14:40,577 Speaker 1: of at the ballot box, and these are these are judges. 248 00:14:40,777 --> 00:14:43,417 Speaker 1: He did have to step back from that and apologize, 249 00:14:43,417 --> 00:14:47,057 Speaker 1: But I mean, I also can't forgive or forget that 250 00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:51,057 Speaker 1: in the immediate aftermath of the leak of the draft opinion, 251 00:14:51,137 --> 00:14:55,057 Speaker 1: David and the protests outside some of these judges, including 252 00:14:55,137 --> 00:15:00,657 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh's home, which are explicitly clearly illegal under federal statute. 253 00:15:00,777 --> 00:15:03,537 Speaker 1: And as I've explained this to anybody who asks, oh, okay, 254 00:15:03,537 --> 00:15:06,417 Speaker 1: so if I'm being prosecuted, I can hire a mob 255 00:15:06,537 --> 00:15:09,577 Speaker 1: to go stand outside the home of my prosecutor, screaming 256 00:15:09,617 --> 00:15:12,577 Speaker 1: crazy stuff. That's the justice system we think we're allowed 257 00:15:12,577 --> 00:15:15,977 Speaker 1: to have. So Jensaki at the time was saying, well, 258 00:15:16,017 --> 00:15:17,897 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of stuff that people are 259 00:15:18,017 --> 00:15:21,017 Speaker 1: upset about, so no big deal for these protests outside 260 00:15:21,017 --> 00:15:25,937 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices homes, and it's conservative justices. Let's be honest. Yeah, 261 00:15:25,977 --> 00:15:28,097 Speaker 1: of course, I mean they would never let this happen 262 00:15:28,297 --> 00:15:30,737 Speaker 1: to the others. But I'll say that, you know, you 263 00:15:30,777 --> 00:15:33,497 Speaker 1: make a good point. These are lifetime appointments for a reason. 264 00:15:33,657 --> 00:15:38,257 Speaker 1: They're lifetime appointments because we don't want justices pressured by 265 00:15:38,377 --> 00:15:44,137 Speaker 1: by politics, by protests, by picketing. And yet the Senate, 266 00:15:44,417 --> 00:15:47,737 Speaker 1: the Senate leader tells people to go to the president. 267 00:15:47,777 --> 00:15:50,737 Speaker 1: They actually said. I think Saki said like something like, 268 00:15:50,857 --> 00:15:52,737 Speaker 1: you know, it's just part of the process or whatever 269 00:15:52,777 --> 00:15:56,017 Speaker 1: she said. It was basically encouragement for people to go 270 00:15:56,137 --> 00:16:01,777 Speaker 1: and pressure politically lifetime lifetime judges. I mean, it's it's 271 00:16:01,817 --> 00:16:04,777 Speaker 1: an attack on on separation of power, it's an attack 272 00:16:04,817 --> 00:16:08,817 Speaker 1: on civility and decency. I'm all, listen, I'm basically a 273 00:16:08,857 --> 00:16:12,377 Speaker 1: First Amendment um, you know, absolutist. I mean, if you 274 00:16:12,417 --> 00:16:14,537 Speaker 1: want to you know, go on the street and yellow people, 275 00:16:14,817 --> 00:16:18,337 Speaker 1: you know from you know, decent you know, decent space. 276 00:16:18,377 --> 00:16:21,497 Speaker 1: That's fine by me, but they're but to have our leaders, 277 00:16:21,617 --> 00:16:25,057 Speaker 1: to have left wing leaders basically inciting and egging on 278 00:16:25,137 --> 00:16:28,457 Speaker 1: these people, that is completely out of line. And you know, 279 00:16:28,537 --> 00:16:30,177 Speaker 1: and that's why I think part of the reason why 280 00:16:30,217 --> 00:16:32,377 Speaker 1: they don't cover this stuff. You wrote in The Federalist, 281 00:16:32,457 --> 00:16:34,697 Speaker 1: David that normally I wouldn't blame Democrats for the actions 282 00:16:34,697 --> 00:16:37,977 Speaker 1: of extremists. The problem is that not only does the 283 00:16:38,057 --> 00:16:40,377 Speaker 1: left continue to push the boundaries with humor like threats, 284 00:16:40,657 --> 00:16:43,217 Speaker 1: but they are engaged in the relentless daily smearing of 285 00:16:43,217 --> 00:16:47,377 Speaker 1: their political opponents as seditious, vote stealing, child murdering, fascists 286 00:16:47,417 --> 00:16:50,497 Speaker 1: and insurgents. If this were true, violence would be justified. 287 00:16:50,537 --> 00:16:53,417 Speaker 1: But it's just a sinister lie. I mean, I do 288 00:16:53,537 --> 00:16:57,217 Speaker 1: think that that we have reached a point now where 289 00:16:57,217 --> 00:17:02,017 Speaker 1: you have the total normalization of from the left, from 290 00:17:02,017 --> 00:17:05,457 Speaker 1: the Democrats, of treating anyone who would cast a vote 291 00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:08,857 Speaker 1: for any Republican as effectively a threat to our government. 292 00:17:08,937 --> 00:17:11,297 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what this whole direction thing is all about. 293 00:17:11,457 --> 00:17:15,497 Speaker 1: They don't care about the you know, the very foolish 294 00:17:15,537 --> 00:17:19,617 Speaker 1: and simple minded and you know, in some cases criminal 295 00:17:19,657 --> 00:17:21,697 Speaker 1: depending what they did. People that were actually in the 296 00:17:21,777 --> 00:17:24,857 Speaker 1: Capitol on January six. It's about everybody. It's about everyone 297 00:17:24,857 --> 00:17:28,617 Speaker 1: whoever casts a vote for a Republican Yeah, have you 298 00:17:28,737 --> 00:17:32,297 Speaker 1: noticed that, you know, I've noticed that people demand that 299 00:17:32,337 --> 00:17:34,577 Speaker 1: I take some kind of ownership of people who went 300 00:17:34,577 --> 00:17:36,657 Speaker 1: into the Capitol. I don't have anything to do with them. 301 00:17:36,737 --> 00:17:39,377 Speaker 1: I don't agree with what they did. I don't probably 302 00:17:39,377 --> 00:17:42,297 Speaker 1: even agree with their philosophical ideas if they have any ideas. 303 00:17:42,297 --> 00:17:44,577 Speaker 1: I don't know if they had any. But yet you 304 00:17:44,697 --> 00:17:47,897 Speaker 1: have a person who tries to wipe out Bernie Sanderson, 305 00:17:47,977 --> 00:17:50,537 Speaker 1: tries to wipe out Republican leadership, or you have someone 306 00:17:50,617 --> 00:17:53,137 Speaker 1: showing up someone's house where you have a summer of 307 00:17:53,377 --> 00:17:57,337 Speaker 1: rioting and you know, and murder, and you know, the 308 00:17:57,417 --> 00:18:00,297 Speaker 1: destruction of the lives of thousands of people. And no, 309 00:18:00,497 --> 00:18:02,777 Speaker 1: they don't take any any ownership of that. They don't. 310 00:18:02,857 --> 00:18:05,137 Speaker 1: They just disconnect from it like it has zero to 311 00:18:05,217 --> 00:18:07,897 Speaker 1: do what they're reatoring. Well, it can't. You know, again, 312 00:18:07,937 --> 00:18:09,617 Speaker 1: we're trying, you know, they want us to play by 313 00:18:09,657 --> 00:18:11,577 Speaker 1: two sets of rules, and that you can't have a 314 00:18:11,657 --> 00:18:15,657 Speaker 1: civil society of functioning democratic republic, when you have two 315 00:18:15,697 --> 00:18:18,297 Speaker 1: sets of rules where you put you know, when one 316 00:18:18,337 --> 00:18:20,857 Speaker 1: person doesn't show up for a subpoena, you put him 317 00:18:20,857 --> 00:18:23,457 Speaker 1: in shackles, and the other guy gets you know, nothing 318 00:18:23,497 --> 00:18:26,297 Speaker 1: happens to him. I mean, you just simply can't function 319 00:18:26,377 --> 00:18:28,417 Speaker 1: that way. And that's literally what's happening. I know I'm 320 00:18:28,457 --> 00:18:30,697 Speaker 1: jumping all over, but I think these things are connected. 321 00:18:31,777 --> 00:18:33,257 Speaker 1: Agree with you. By the way, De Santis had a 322 00:18:33,297 --> 00:18:35,657 Speaker 1: good statement in the Kavanaugh threat situation. He said, it 323 00:18:35,697 --> 00:18:37,337 Speaker 1: wasn't even just the fact that this guy was looking 324 00:18:37,377 --> 00:18:39,777 Speaker 1: to murder someone, which is very serious in itself, that 325 00:18:39,977 --> 00:18:43,137 Speaker 1: was being done in service of changing the outcome at 326 00:18:43,177 --> 00:18:46,177 Speaker 1: the judicial branch of government. And that is really really problematic. 327 00:18:46,177 --> 00:18:49,177 Speaker 1: I mean, this is someone who was looking to alter 328 00:18:49,257 --> 00:18:52,657 Speaker 1: the course of this nation through violence, and it's coming 329 00:18:52,657 --> 00:18:55,337 Speaker 1: at a time when Democrats are suggesting that people who 330 00:18:55,337 --> 00:18:59,337 Speaker 1: don't agree with them are a threat to the government itself. Yeah, 331 00:18:59,377 --> 00:19:03,337 Speaker 1: I mean, the leak itself, most likely, almost surely was 332 00:19:03,417 --> 00:19:07,297 Speaker 1: meant to put pressure on the justices who might turn 333 00:19:07,377 --> 00:19:11,057 Speaker 1: overturn rov way and the things that, you know, a 334 00:19:11,137 --> 00:19:13,857 Speaker 1: Senate leader of standing on the steps of the Scode 335 00:19:13,937 --> 00:19:18,177 Speaker 1: is yelling about consequences, is trying to make them intimidate 336 00:19:18,337 --> 00:19:20,937 Speaker 1: those judges. This is just it's a outlandish I don't 337 00:19:20,977 --> 00:19:23,857 Speaker 1: even know historically speaking as certainly in modern history, nothing 338 00:19:23,897 --> 00:19:26,337 Speaker 1: like this has happened. I mean, the closest I can 339 00:19:26,617 --> 00:19:29,177 Speaker 1: think of is when Barack Obama sort of braided the 340 00:19:30,297 --> 00:19:33,457 Speaker 1: Supreme Court for upholding the First Amendment. But other than that, 341 00:19:33,537 --> 00:19:36,537 Speaker 1: I really, I really can't think of any comparable situation 342 00:19:36,617 --> 00:19:39,457 Speaker 1: to this. David, appreciate joining us, Thanks for being here. 343 00:19:40,577 --> 00:19:42,697 Speaker 1: Thank you. At first, I want to talk you about 344 00:19:42,697 --> 00:19:45,777 Speaker 1: protecting your online data. A lot of companies promise your 345 00:19:45,777 --> 00:19:48,337 Speaker 1: privacy is guaranteed, but we know that's not true. That's 346 00:19:48,337 --> 00:19:51,257 Speaker 1: why you need a new privacy and cybersecurity application tool 347 00:19:51,337 --> 00:19:54,897 Speaker 1: called Secure. It's spelled SEK.

Privacy is a big issue now. Without real security, 352 00:20:08,097 --> 00:20:10,697 Speaker 1: people can read your emails, your messages, even your bank information. 353 00:20:11,017 --> 00:20:13,617 Speaker 1: Secure will never mind your data, never ask your phone number. 354 00:20:13,777 --> 00:20:15,817 Speaker 1: You can send emails to your doctor.

We'll be right back with more. 362 00:20:34,857 --> 00:20:42,977 Speaker 1: Hold the line. Pandemic Arab policy. Title forty two remains 363 00:20:42,977 --> 00:20:46,777 Speaker 1: in limbo, but migrant shelters in Bordertown say now is 364 00:20:46,817 --> 00:20:49,777 Speaker 1: the time to prepare for its end. With a massive 365 00:20:49,937 --> 00:20:53,537 Speaker 1: migrant caravan already heading toward our border, many are concerned 366 00:20:53,537 --> 00:20:56,097 Speaker 1: that the termination of Title forty two will open the 367 00:20:56,097 --> 00:20:59,857 Speaker 1: floodgates even more to illegal immigration. More than a year, 368 00:20:59,897 --> 00:21:02,657 Speaker 1: Arizona's Attorney General, Mark Bernovich has been fighting to get 369 00:21:02,697 --> 00:21:05,817 Speaker 1: the Biden administration to do its job. From suing DHS 370 00:21:05,897 --> 00:21:10,657 Speaker 1: Secretary Mayorchis to the CDC to present Biden himself. Bernovitch 371 00:21:10,777 --> 00:21:13,537 Speaker 1: is doing everything in his power to protect this community, 372 00:21:13,577 --> 00:21:17,337 Speaker 1: stop the White House from rescinding Title forty two. Berney 373 00:21:17,337 --> 00:21:20,657 Speaker 1: in general the state of Arizona, joins me. Now A G. Bernovich. 374 00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:23,577 Speaker 1: Good to have you, sir. Thank you Bob for having me. 375 00:21:23,617 --> 00:21:27,857 Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. So just tell me this. The 376 00:21:27,977 --> 00:21:30,057 Speaker 1: end of Tittle forty two would be a problem. But 377 00:21:30,097 --> 00:21:34,337 Speaker 1: as I understand it, mister Attorney General, the reality of 378 00:21:34,337 --> 00:21:36,737 Speaker 1: Title forty two as it is at the border right now, 379 00:21:36,897 --> 00:21:40,897 Speaker 1: whether it's Arizona, Texas, you name it, is that they're 380 00:21:40,937 --> 00:21:44,937 Speaker 1: not really using it except against illegal Mexican and Central 381 00:21:44,977 --> 00:21:49,217 Speaker 1: American migrant. What's going on? Yeah, I mean, you know 382 00:21:49,777 --> 00:21:52,217 Speaker 1: you mentioned this that we'ven't been involved in so many 383 00:21:52,297 --> 00:21:55,937 Speaker 1: lawsuits against the Bide administration trying to force them to 384 00:21:55,977 --> 00:21:58,457 Speaker 1: do their job. Now we went into court, we led 385 00:21:58,457 --> 00:22:01,657 Speaker 1: the coalition, our lawyers argued that the Biden administration who 386 00:22:01,697 --> 00:22:04,417 Speaker 1: could not resume the title forty two. And what we 387 00:22:04,457 --> 00:22:06,137 Speaker 1: had found out they were doing was they were trying 388 00:22:06,137 --> 00:22:08,337 Speaker 1: to play these games where they were trying to create 389 00:22:08,497 --> 00:22:11,937 Speaker 1: exclusions and exceptions for people from certain countries, and the 390 00:22:11,977 --> 00:22:14,697 Speaker 1: court told them they could not do that. But we 391 00:22:14,777 --> 00:22:17,097 Speaker 1: have seen the Biden administration in the past when we 392 00:22:17,137 --> 00:22:20,617 Speaker 1: suit him over the permanent guidance or that time most 393 00:22:20,617 --> 00:22:24,257 Speaker 1: temporary guidance where they were not supporting people deportation orders. 394 00:22:24,457 --> 00:22:26,137 Speaker 1: You know, they would tell the court they're doing it, 395 00:22:26,297 --> 00:22:28,777 Speaker 1: and they would slightly tweak the policy, and then they 396 00:22:28,777 --> 00:22:31,497 Speaker 1: would say, well, we're following that decision, but then they 397 00:22:31,497 --> 00:22:34,377 Speaker 1: would change and create a new policy. So the one 398 00:22:34,417 --> 00:22:37,697 Speaker 1: thing that has been very consistent is the Biden administration 399 00:22:37,817 --> 00:22:41,657 Speaker 1: is trying to systematically undermine the rule of law and 400 00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:45,217 Speaker 1: basically eradicate our entire southern border. I know, folks like 401 00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:48,337 Speaker 1: we've talked about this where we thought at one point 402 00:22:48,337 --> 00:22:50,817 Speaker 1: they maybe wanted to abolish ice, but it's clear they 403 00:22:50,817 --> 00:22:53,217 Speaker 1: just want to eradicate the southern border. So that's why 404 00:22:53,617 --> 00:22:55,977 Speaker 1: I keep having to go into court and keep getting 405 00:22:55,977 --> 00:22:58,857 Speaker 1: these injunctions, keep getting these restraining orders, just to try 406 00:22:58,937 --> 00:23:01,217 Speaker 1: to get the Biden administration to do their actual job. 407 00:23:01,817 --> 00:23:04,697 Speaker 1: Entitle forty two is one of the last things we 408 00:23:04,777 --> 00:23:06,777 Speaker 1: have left in our toolbox, so I'm doing everything I 409 00:23:06,817 --> 00:23:10,177 Speaker 1: can to save it. Here's that list of one of 410 00:23:10,217 --> 00:23:15,897 Speaker 1: the cases you've brought Arizona v. Garland challenging DHS fast 411 00:23:15,897 --> 00:23:20,057 Speaker 1: Track Asylum system, Arizona VCDC, challenging the replication of Title 412 00:23:20,097 --> 00:23:23,217 Speaker 1: forty two. We were just discussing. You've also challenged DHS's 413 00:23:23,257 --> 00:23:27,937 Speaker 1: final guidance, challenging Biden administrations illegal violation, led into cancelation 414 00:23:28,057 --> 00:23:32,177 Speaker 1: of border wall construction, and once again challenging interim guidance. 415 00:23:32,257 --> 00:23:36,577 Speaker 1: So you are not afraid to take the Feds into 416 00:23:36,657 --> 00:23:40,177 Speaker 1: court over this stuff. How have these challenges played out? 417 00:23:40,297 --> 00:23:44,737 Speaker 1: You're winning, some losing some something in between. What's going on? Yeah, 418 00:23:44,737 --> 00:23:47,537 Speaker 1: I mean we unfortunately, for example, in the border wall, 419 00:23:48,057 --> 00:23:49,897 Speaker 1: you know, that's still a litigation. We didn't know we 420 00:23:49,977 --> 00:23:53,657 Speaker 1: were successful at the beginning to appen. We we're continuing 421 00:23:53,697 --> 00:23:56,697 Speaker 1: to litigate it. One thing you did not mention is 422 00:23:56,737 --> 00:23:59,817 Speaker 1: that I literally argued to a Supreme Court in February 423 00:23:59,857 --> 00:24:02,017 Speaker 1: of the public charge rule, and this is where the 424 00:24:02,017 --> 00:24:06,097 Speaker 1: Biden administration tries is trying to give government welfare medicst 425 00:24:06,177 --> 00:24:09,257 Speaker 1: non citizens. And so I'm very confident we're gonna win 426 00:24:09,297 --> 00:24:11,257 Speaker 1: that case. We had take that all the way to 427 00:24:11,297 --> 00:24:13,857 Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court. You know, we got the restraining 428 00:24:13,977 --> 00:24:16,937 Speaker 1: order to stop a Title forty two from being revoked, 429 00:24:16,977 --> 00:24:19,457 Speaker 1: and you know on the permanent guidance, some of these 430 00:24:19,457 --> 00:24:21,977 Speaker 1: other cases are still winding them way through the courts, 431 00:24:22,017 --> 00:24:25,497 Speaker 1: and unfortunately, what the Biden administration is shown is a 432 00:24:26,257 --> 00:24:30,337 Speaker 1: complete disregard not only for administrative procedures, but they're shredding 433 00:24:30,337 --> 00:24:33,417 Speaker 1: the constitution of the process. And so I'm doing everything 434 00:24:33,417 --> 00:24:35,617 Speaker 1: I can but to try to hold them accountable and 435 00:24:35,657 --> 00:24:38,897 Speaker 1: to try to force them to just follow the existing law. 436 00:24:39,217 --> 00:24:42,417 Speaker 1: And so you know, we've been very successful in some cases. 437 00:24:42,657 --> 00:24:44,777 Speaker 1: In some cases we literally are having to take to 438 00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:47,457 Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court to make sure the court orders 439 00:24:47,497 --> 00:24:49,977 Speaker 1: the Biden administration just follow the law and do the 440 00:24:50,057 --> 00:24:53,937 Speaker 1: right thing. So with that in mind, what would need 441 00:24:54,017 --> 00:24:57,377 Speaker 1: to happen for I mean, right now, obviously a federal 442 00:24:57,457 --> 00:24:59,897 Speaker 1: judges said Title forty two cannot be rescinded as it 443 00:24:59,937 --> 00:25:03,657 Speaker 1: currently stands. At some point it will be rescinded. One 444 00:25:03,657 --> 00:25:08,257 Speaker 1: would assume, right it's a pandemic related CDC authority. So 445 00:25:08,577 --> 00:25:12,457 Speaker 1: what would have to happen for it to be legal? 446 00:25:12,777 --> 00:25:16,137 Speaker 1: And what would be the change is necessary from your 447 00:25:16,177 --> 00:25:18,737 Speaker 1: perspective that the Biden administration could make so that they 448 00:25:18,737 --> 00:25:21,617 Speaker 1: wouldn't get the massive search. I mean, we already have 449 00:25:21,697 --> 00:25:23,937 Speaker 1: a huge caravan. They asked him a ten to fifteen 450 00:25:23,937 --> 00:25:26,817 Speaker 1: thousand on the way, So what could they do differently? 451 00:25:26,937 --> 00:25:28,657 Speaker 1: And then how could we get and then what happens 452 00:25:28,697 --> 00:25:32,737 Speaker 1: when Title forty two goes Yeah, Title forty two, I 453 00:25:32,777 --> 00:25:36,097 Speaker 1: think we all recognize it's like the little kid the 454 00:25:36,137 --> 00:25:38,457 Speaker 1: story about holding the finger in the diet. I mean, 455 00:25:38,497 --> 00:25:41,057 Speaker 1: that's all we're doing. These are stock out measures, and 456 00:25:41,097 --> 00:25:44,417 Speaker 1: it's because the Biden administration is feeling to build the wall, 457 00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:46,737 Speaker 1: which when it was working, they tried to ascend the 458 00:25:46,777 --> 00:25:50,137 Speaker 1: remain in Mexico policy. They aren't deporting people's deportation orders. 459 00:25:50,257 --> 00:25:53,177 Speaker 1: They're trying to incentimize and monetize people coming here like 460 00:25:53,257 --> 00:25:56,817 Speaker 1: in government benefits. We're trying to stop that. So Type 461 00:25:56,897 --> 00:25:59,737 Speaker 1: forty two. What we basically argued is that, look, if 462 00:25:59,737 --> 00:26:02,297 Speaker 1: the Biden administration wants to rescind it, what has been 463 00:26:02,337 --> 00:26:04,497 Speaker 1: good for the goose is good for the gander and 464 00:26:04,617 --> 00:26:07,657 Speaker 1: an assents these left wing groups, they always sue Republican 465 00:26:07,697 --> 00:26:10,617 Speaker 1: administrations trying to tell them they cannot change rules or 466 00:26:10,617 --> 00:26:14,457 Speaker 1: policies without going through the proper rulemaking process. So what 467 00:26:14,497 --> 00:26:16,537 Speaker 1: we've said, and what the judge agreed with, is that 468 00:26:16,897 --> 00:26:19,457 Speaker 1: if the Biden administration wants to restend to revolt Title 469 00:26:19,537 --> 00:26:22,017 Speaker 1: forty two, they have to go through the process, the 470 00:26:22,097 --> 00:26:26,697 Speaker 1: legal process, and now would include rulemaking and public notice 471 00:26:26,817 --> 00:26:31,897 Speaker 1: in common and so yeah, ultimately, if the administration wants 472 00:26:31,937 --> 00:26:35,017 Speaker 1: to change that policy, they can, but we've are that 473 00:26:35,057 --> 00:26:37,337 Speaker 1: they have to do it in the legally correct way, 474 00:26:37,497 --> 00:26:40,737 Speaker 1: and that basically means the states get to have input 475 00:26:41,057 --> 00:26:43,617 Speaker 1: saying this has happens will affect us and this is 476 00:26:43,617 --> 00:26:47,417 Speaker 1: how illegal immigration is impacting us all over the country. 477 00:26:47,457 --> 00:26:49,617 Speaker 1: So they have to provide that notice and they have 478 00:26:49,657 --> 00:26:52,457 Speaker 1: to provide public input in notice in common from the 479 00:26:52,497 --> 00:26:55,617 Speaker 1: states as well. So you are currently the attorney general 480 00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:58,857 Speaker 1: in Arizona, you are running for a Senate seat on 481 00:26:58,857 --> 00:27:02,057 Speaker 1: the Republican side from your state. You have a primary 482 00:27:02,097 --> 00:27:05,577 Speaker 1: to get through here with your primary opponent being like 483 00:27:05,937 --> 00:27:11,017 Speaker 1: Masters Trump Donald Trump, former present the United States Dorist Masters, 484 00:27:11,057 --> 00:27:13,617 Speaker 1: and today he put out a statement I wanted to 485 00:27:13,697 --> 00:27:15,857 Speaker 1: let you react to a mister attorney general. He said 486 00:27:15,897 --> 00:27:18,497 Speaker 1: that Mark Bernovitch is such a disappointment to me. He 487 00:27:18,617 --> 00:27:21,417 Speaker 1: is the current Arizona attorney general, and while he understands 488 00:27:21,417 --> 00:27:23,977 Speaker 1: what took place in the twenty twenty presidential election and 489 00:27:24,017 --> 00:27:26,297 Speaker 1: that it was rigged and stolen, he only views it 490 00:27:26,297 --> 00:27:28,537 Speaker 1: as something he would not like to see happen again. 491 00:27:28,697 --> 00:27:31,337 Speaker 1: That was a statement that former President Trump put out, 492 00:27:32,577 --> 00:27:34,697 Speaker 1: how do you respond to that? I mean, I think 493 00:27:35,257 --> 00:27:37,817 Speaker 1: I've heard your policies, and I've seen a lot of 494 00:27:37,817 --> 00:27:40,497 Speaker 1: what you've you've done as attorney general. It would seem 495 00:27:40,497 --> 00:27:45,217 Speaker 1: to be in line with President Trump's ideology. So what 496 00:27:45,337 --> 00:27:49,257 Speaker 1: happened here? Yeah, you know, Buck, I can never control 497 00:27:49,697 --> 00:27:51,297 Speaker 1: whether people are going to say or do, and what 498 00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:54,737 Speaker 1: I've said, I'm literally told President Trump this is that 499 00:27:54,977 --> 00:27:57,537 Speaker 1: if you care about securing the border, if you care 500 00:27:57,537 --> 00:28:00,337 Speaker 1: about confirming good federal judges that were the first laws 501 00:28:00,377 --> 00:28:03,297 Speaker 1: it is, and not create policy. You care about low 502 00:28:03,417 --> 00:28:07,457 Speaker 1: energy prices and energy independence, if you care about low taxes, 503 00:28:07,497 --> 00:28:11,417 Speaker 1: low regulation, you go through that entire agenda. I've actually 504 00:28:11,417 --> 00:28:13,777 Speaker 1: been there. I mean, I was a prosecutor and I 505 00:28:13,817 --> 00:28:16,817 Speaker 1: began my career game prosecutor protecting our communities. I worked 506 00:28:16,817 --> 00:28:18,777 Speaker 1: in a think tank called the Goldwater to where I 507 00:28:18,777 --> 00:28:22,977 Speaker 1: wrote extensively about federalism and low energy prices. And now 508 00:28:23,017 --> 00:28:24,977 Speaker 1: as an age, look at all I've done. Whether we're 509 00:28:25,017 --> 00:28:28,897 Speaker 1: suing the Biden administration of run constitutional vaccine mandates were 510 00:28:28,897 --> 00:28:31,337 Speaker 1: literally last year, and I've brought this up to the President. 511 00:28:31,657 --> 00:28:34,377 Speaker 1: The most important election case in the generation is literally 512 00:28:34,417 --> 00:28:38,017 Speaker 1: called Bernavici, DNC, And when the left wing groups tried 513 00:28:38,017 --> 00:28:40,777 Speaker 1: to come into places like Arizona, I fought them all 514 00:28:40,817 --> 00:28:43,577 Speaker 1: the way to the Supreme Court and the Court of 515 00:28:43,697 --> 00:28:47,337 Speaker 1: heel ability of states like Arizona and other states now 516 00:28:47,577 --> 00:28:51,137 Speaker 1: to enact election integrity measures that limit and restrict ballot 517 00:28:51,137 --> 00:28:53,537 Speaker 1: harvesting and out of preseine voting. So I've actually been 518 00:28:53,577 --> 00:28:55,457 Speaker 1: in the forefront of these fights. So you get a 519 00:28:55,457 --> 00:28:57,817 Speaker 1: lot of folks now that come up and they talked 520 00:28:57,857 --> 00:29:00,497 Speaker 1: the talk, they've never walked the walk, They've never actually 521 00:29:00,497 --> 00:29:02,177 Speaker 1: been in the fight. And then they can say a 522 00:29:02,217 --> 00:29:04,817 Speaker 1: lot of things now, but where's the evidence, where's the 523 00:29:04,897 --> 00:29:08,017 Speaker 1: receipts as kids saying nowadays with what they've actually done. 524 00:29:08,057 --> 00:29:10,337 Speaker 1: And I've been in the forefront of this and holding 525 00:29:10,417 --> 00:29:12,577 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I think it's important 526 00:29:12,617 --> 00:29:15,857 Speaker 1: to be principled. Arizona taken on Mark Kelly because the 527 00:29:15,897 --> 00:29:19,097 Speaker 1: stakes are so high, and if you want someone that 528 00:29:19,337 --> 00:29:23,857 Speaker 1: understands limited government, federalism and concernative principles, then I'm the 529 00:29:23,897 --> 00:29:27,857 Speaker 1: guy learning General Bernovitch, State of Arizona. Good to see you, Sara, 530 00:29:27,937 --> 00:29:30,337 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us today. Thanks Mark, Thank you 531 00:29:30,457 --> 00:29:36,177 Speaker 1: very much. Each morning, the president of the United States 532 00:29:36,217 --> 00:29:39,417 Speaker 1: receives a highly classified briefing on the most important issues 533 00:29:39,457 --> 00:29:43,377 Speaker 1: facing the country. It's called the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. 534 00:29:43,577 --> 00:29:46,817 Speaker 1: It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you 535 00:29:46,857 --> 00:29:49,697 Speaker 1: can hear your very own PDB in the form of 536 00:29:49,697 --> 00:29:53,017 Speaker 1: a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former 537 00:29:53,017 --> 00:29:56,777 Speaker 1: CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll 538 00:29:56,777 --> 00:29:59,137 Speaker 1: bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most important 539 00:29:59,137 --> 00:30:02,297 Speaker 1: issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence and 540 00:30:02,337 --> 00:30:13,177 Speaker 1: analysis you need to start your morning. One of the 541 00:30:13,177 --> 00:30:17,177 Speaker 1: most liberal cities in America is putting its progressive prosecutor 542 00:30:17,257 --> 00:30:21,537 Speaker 1: on notice. Finally, the first time ever, San Francisco has 543 00:30:21,657 --> 00:30:25,777 Speaker 1: recalled its district attorney, Chessi bud Dan, as voters hold 544 00:30:25,817 --> 00:30:28,737 Speaker 1: him responsible for a surge in murders, violent crime, and 545 00:30:28,937 --> 00:30:32,337 Speaker 1: shameless shoplifting. So will this recall send a message to 546 00:30:32,457 --> 00:30:36,177 Speaker 1: soft on crime prosecutors across the country. Let's ask former 547 00:30:36,257 --> 00:30:40,937 Speaker 1: NYPD Coppen conservative commentator John Cardillo. John, good to see you. Hey, 548 00:30:40,977 --> 00:30:43,777 Speaker 1: Bacco is good to be again. So this is a 549 00:30:43,777 --> 00:30:47,977 Speaker 1: good thing. It's not a seismic shift, right, I'm sure 550 00:30:48,017 --> 00:30:52,937 Speaker 1: they're going to replace. When the mayor London Breed puts 551 00:30:52,937 --> 00:30:55,217 Speaker 1: forward his replacement and they have elections, they're going to 552 00:30:55,257 --> 00:30:58,777 Speaker 1: replace him with a Democrat to San Francisco. But at 553 00:30:58,857 --> 00:31:00,857 Speaker 1: least it's moving in the right direction here. What do 554 00:31:00,897 --> 00:31:04,777 Speaker 1: you think? Yeah, I mean, look one thing about We'll 555 00:31:04,817 --> 00:31:07,697 Speaker 1: get into this guy ratible as they come, right. Aaron's 556 00:31:07,697 --> 00:31:14,097 Speaker 1: for whether underground members, convicted cop killers, contemporaries of such 557 00:31:14,137 --> 00:31:19,457 Speaker 1: illustrious luminaries as Bill Ayres and Assada Shakur, who the 558 00:31:19,737 --> 00:31:22,897 Speaker 1: Joanne Chesimar and wrights a bit on those, I mean, 559 00:31:22,937 --> 00:31:28,657 Speaker 1: just radical radical terrorists. But here's the thing. Jesse Bodin 560 00:31:29,417 --> 00:31:33,577 Speaker 1: did not do one thing that he did not tell 561 00:31:33,657 --> 00:31:36,937 Speaker 1: people he was going to do any campaigned. Nothing was 562 00:31:36,977 --> 00:31:39,897 Speaker 1: a surprise with this guy. He laid out the blueprint 563 00:31:40,097 --> 00:31:44,217 Speaker 1: during his campaign then executed it to the letter. San 564 00:31:44,297 --> 00:31:49,057 Speaker 1: Franciscans is radical leftist. Fuck. Maybe they don't really like 565 00:31:49,337 --> 00:31:53,337 Speaker 1: the real life version of these utopian which are really 566 00:31:53,417 --> 00:31:57,057 Speaker 1: dystopian policies they promote. Because he didn't do anything he 567 00:31:57,057 --> 00:32:00,937 Speaker 1: didn't say he was going to do. Here he is 568 00:32:01,017 --> 00:32:03,177 Speaker 1: last night, by the way, in his concession speech, here's 569 00:32:03,217 --> 00:32:06,257 Speaker 1: Jesse Budan soon to be the former District Attorney of 570 00:32:06,417 --> 00:32:12,297 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Watch. People are angry, they're frustrated, and I 571 00:32:12,337 --> 00:32:17,657 Speaker 1: want to be very clear about what happened tonight. The 572 00:32:17,777 --> 00:32:23,857 Speaker 1: right wing billionaires outspent us three to one. They exploited 573 00:32:23,857 --> 00:32:29,937 Speaker 1: an environment in which people are appropriately upset, and they 574 00:32:29,977 --> 00:32:33,377 Speaker 1: created an electoral dynamic where we were literally shadow boxing. 575 00:32:34,817 --> 00:32:38,697 Speaker 1: I mean, this is amazing. We just take this is amazing. 576 00:32:38,977 --> 00:32:42,937 Speaker 1: The right wing billionaires are I mean, sixty percent of 577 00:32:42,977 --> 00:32:46,497 Speaker 1: San Franciscans voted to kick this clown out of office 578 00:32:46,817 --> 00:32:50,217 Speaker 1: because they're sick of the home invasions, the assaults on 579 00:32:50,257 --> 00:32:53,657 Speaker 1: the street, the theft, the armed robbery, you name it. 580 00:32:54,377 --> 00:32:57,377 Speaker 1: And why does he think they're all so upset? This 581 00:32:57,417 --> 00:33:00,457 Speaker 1: guy is like a lunatic. Oh, I mean, didn't you 582 00:33:00,497 --> 00:33:03,617 Speaker 1: see the AGM and cameras that that hidden footage of 583 00:33:03,697 --> 00:33:08,017 Speaker 1: Hilarry Ellison and Elon must upping raw sewage and Herwin 584 00:33:08,137 --> 00:33:10,857 Speaker 1: needles on the streets of San Francisco. I mean, the 585 00:33:10,857 --> 00:33:13,417 Speaker 1: guys out of his mind. Look, he was letting bad 586 00:33:13,497 --> 00:33:18,977 Speaker 1: guys go free. He wasn't prosecuting worse bad guys. And 587 00:33:19,057 --> 00:33:23,777 Speaker 1: he and so many other Democrats have abandoned quality of life. Crimes. 588 00:33:23,777 --> 00:33:26,257 Speaker 1: They won't even touch him, which we know. You and 589 00:33:26,297 --> 00:33:28,617 Speaker 1: I know this, right, we both in some fashion with 590 00:33:28,657 --> 00:33:30,777 Speaker 1: the NYPD. You were over there on the intel side, 591 00:33:30,777 --> 00:33:33,897 Speaker 1: I was there on the law enforcement side. We know 592 00:33:34,017 --> 00:33:36,737 Speaker 1: that when you addressed what Rudy Giuliani get, addressing quality 593 00:33:36,737 --> 00:33:39,577 Speaker 1: of life crimes typically leads to a reduction in the 594 00:33:39,577 --> 00:33:42,657 Speaker 1: bigger crimes. This had nothing to do with anyone or 595 00:33:42,657 --> 00:33:45,097 Speaker 1: anything other than you're so polite in the way you 596 00:33:45,137 --> 00:33:50,177 Speaker 1: say his name as well Chessebo'dan's refusal to be a prosecutor. 597 00:33:50,617 --> 00:33:54,017 Speaker 1: He wanted to be a far less activist, not the 598 00:33:54,097 --> 00:33:58,417 Speaker 1: chief law enforcement officer, the chief prose prosecutorial officer of 599 00:33:58,497 --> 00:34:02,377 Speaker 1: the city of San Francisco. It's amazing, John, because as 600 00:34:02,417 --> 00:34:04,857 Speaker 1: we all know, there was a thirty percent increase in 601 00:34:04,937 --> 00:34:09,697 Speaker 1: homicides in nationwide in twenty twenty to twenty twenty one. 602 00:34:10,817 --> 00:34:14,537 Speaker 1: George Floyd Movement and BLM and all this played into this, 603 00:34:14,577 --> 00:34:17,177 Speaker 1: of course, But the progressive prosecutors, they had already been 604 00:34:17,257 --> 00:34:21,457 Speaker 1: seeded into all these different city bureaucracies in the years 605 00:34:21,537 --> 00:34:24,017 Speaker 1: leading up to this, in part because I think of 606 00:34:24,057 --> 00:34:27,657 Speaker 1: the media stoking a racial panic over the election of 607 00:34:27,697 --> 00:34:30,697 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, right so twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, you start 608 00:34:30,737 --> 00:34:34,497 Speaker 1: seeing the Chessa bou Dan and you know the Kim 609 00:34:34,577 --> 00:34:38,537 Speaker 1: Fox and these other Larry Kraszner, these progressive prosecutors taking office. 610 00:34:39,057 --> 00:34:41,737 Speaker 1: And it wasn't just that they had one year. The 611 00:34:41,937 --> 00:34:44,497 Speaker 1: next year, twenty twenty two to twenty twenty one was 612 00:34:44,577 --> 00:34:47,097 Speaker 1: also terrible in these cities. So we knew it wasn't 613 00:34:47,137 --> 00:34:49,697 Speaker 1: just a pandemic blip or whatever crap they were saying 614 00:34:49,697 --> 00:34:52,097 Speaker 1: at the time, the lies they were telling. In San Francisco, 615 00:34:52,137 --> 00:34:55,977 Speaker 1: for example, twenty twenty two verses twenty twenty one. Larceny 616 00:34:56,097 --> 00:35:00,297 Speaker 1: so far this year up twenty percent, assaults up eleven percent, 617 00:35:00,337 --> 00:35:04,537 Speaker 1: homicides up eleven percent, rape up nine percent. So they 618 00:35:04,577 --> 00:35:07,777 Speaker 1: had a terrible year of crime rise across the country, 619 00:35:07,777 --> 00:35:11,617 Speaker 1: but in San Francisco, San Francisco specific, and it keeps going. John, 620 00:35:11,657 --> 00:35:14,937 Speaker 1: I think that was what people disabled. Enough is enough? Yeah, 621 00:35:14,937 --> 00:35:16,937 Speaker 1: I mean it goes back to addressing those quality of 622 00:35:16,937 --> 00:35:20,097 Speaker 1: life crimes, right, the broken windows pleasing strategies you do. 623 00:35:20,377 --> 00:35:22,537 Speaker 1: And I talk about this a lot, and so sometimes 624 00:35:22,537 --> 00:35:25,057 Speaker 1: I don't delve into it when we're on air, but 625 00:35:25,217 --> 00:35:27,777 Speaker 1: it's important to understand that maybe you have new viewers, 626 00:35:27,857 --> 00:35:30,217 Speaker 1: which I'm sure you do with your audience grows who 627 00:35:30,457 --> 00:35:33,257 Speaker 1: or maybe younger, they don't understand we're talking about. And simply, 628 00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:36,697 Speaker 1: but what Rue Giuliani his police commissioners understood in New 629 00:35:36,777 --> 00:35:40,057 Speaker 1: York City in the nineties when they manage a crime reduction, 630 00:35:40,177 --> 00:35:43,217 Speaker 1: crime fell off a cliff in New York is if 631 00:35:43,257 --> 00:35:45,897 Speaker 1: you go after the little things, the big things follow. 632 00:35:46,057 --> 00:35:49,097 Speaker 1: Very simply put, if you arrest a guy or a 633 00:35:49,217 --> 00:35:52,617 Speaker 1: shoplifting or jumping the turnstile in the subway not paying 634 00:35:52,657 --> 00:35:57,057 Speaker 1: the fair oftentimes when you run their information after the arrest, 635 00:35:57,497 --> 00:36:03,017 Speaker 1: you find they had warrants for delany robbery, delany burglary, felony. 636 00:36:03,057 --> 00:36:05,897 Speaker 1: Has solved some of these bigger crimes, and but getting 637 00:36:05,897 --> 00:36:08,657 Speaker 1: those people off the street, returning them on those warrants 638 00:36:08,977 --> 00:36:13,377 Speaker 1: to a judge, you were reducing crime across the board. Again, 639 00:36:13,457 --> 00:36:16,257 Speaker 1: these progressive das. I'm so glad you brought up Larry 640 00:36:16,297 --> 00:36:20,937 Speaker 1: Krasner in Philadelphia. He was really George Soros' first experiment 641 00:36:21,097 --> 00:36:25,057 Speaker 1: with funding far left district attorneys to affect social change 642 00:36:25,057 --> 00:36:27,777 Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. And look where Philadelphia is today. 643 00:36:27,817 --> 00:36:30,377 Speaker 1: It's a mess. I have phillyops reached out to me 644 00:36:30,417 --> 00:36:32,537 Speaker 1: on Twitter on Facebook all the time telling me how 645 00:36:32,577 --> 00:36:35,537 Speaker 1: bad it is. But it's very simple. If you address 646 00:36:35,657 --> 00:36:38,377 Speaker 1: the quality of life crimes, if you actually enforce the 647 00:36:38,457 --> 00:36:43,217 Speaker 1: law as crazy as it sounds, buck crime drops, and 648 00:36:43,257 --> 00:36:46,777 Speaker 1: when you do the opposite, prime rises. The big city 649 00:36:46,777 --> 00:36:49,257 Speaker 1: crime spike isn't just San Francisco, as I noted a 650 00:36:49,257 --> 00:36:52,537 Speaker 1: moment ago, John, and again in its second year of 651 00:36:52,657 --> 00:36:55,177 Speaker 1: rise right twenty twenty, twenty twenty one was the worst 652 00:36:55,257 --> 00:36:57,457 Speaker 1: year pretty much ever for a one year crime spike 653 00:36:57,577 --> 00:37:00,537 Speaker 1: nationwide twenty twenty one verse twenty twenty two, though San 654 00:37:00,537 --> 00:37:03,337 Speaker 1: Francisco's up seven point eight percent, New York City though 655 00:37:03,977 --> 00:37:07,017 Speaker 1: with a new mayor, up thirty eight percent, Los Angeles 656 00:37:07,057 --> 00:37:11,297 Speaker 1: eleven percent, Chicago thirty five percent, Philadelphia twenty two. Philadelphia 657 00:37:11,377 --> 00:37:13,897 Speaker 1: last year had its all time murder record, and it's 658 00:37:14,057 --> 00:37:17,177 Speaker 1: just running slightly below that pace six months into twenty 659 00:37:17,217 --> 00:37:19,937 Speaker 1: twenty two. John, I, I just want to know what 660 00:37:20,097 --> 00:37:22,337 Speaker 1: your take is on I've got a theory that in 661 00:37:22,377 --> 00:37:25,617 Speaker 1: some of these cities they're realizing that the progressive prosecutors, 662 00:37:25,617 --> 00:37:28,737 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just essentially suicidal for the city, but 663 00:37:28,897 --> 00:37:31,737 Speaker 1: bringing in a kind of mainstream Democrat who's still a 664 00:37:31,777 --> 00:37:34,297 Speaker 1: little you know, wishywashi. That's not going to turn the 665 00:37:34,337 --> 00:37:37,177 Speaker 1: momentum around. They're gonna need a Giuliani like figure to 666 00:37:37,177 --> 00:37:40,457 Speaker 1: come in and say there's a new sheriff in town. 667 00:37:40,937 --> 00:37:43,137 Speaker 1: I mean New York City is the proof of that, right, 668 00:37:43,537 --> 00:37:45,497 Speaker 1: Eric said Eric Adams. I mean the guy who's in 669 00:37:45,577 --> 00:37:49,617 Speaker 1: New York City police officer, retired as a New York 670 00:37:49,617 --> 00:37:54,057 Speaker 1: City Police captain. And crime is rising in New York City. 671 00:37:54,097 --> 00:37:57,257 Speaker 1: Why because instead of being a leader, instead of saying 672 00:37:57,257 --> 00:37:59,097 Speaker 1: I had twenty three years in the New York City 673 00:37:59,097 --> 00:38:02,097 Speaker 1: Police Department, I made a d behind my name. But 674 00:38:02,137 --> 00:38:04,697 Speaker 1: I know it works, and I know what doesn't to 675 00:38:04,777 --> 00:38:07,697 Speaker 1: reduce crime. What's he doing? He's deferring to guys like 676 00:38:07,777 --> 00:38:10,977 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg, the bar left Manhattan District that won't prosecute 677 00:38:10,977 --> 00:38:14,937 Speaker 1: anyone for anything. He's now beholding the radicals in the 678 00:38:15,017 --> 00:38:18,737 Speaker 1: New York City Council and crime is rising. Also important 679 00:38:18,777 --> 00:38:21,417 Speaker 1: notice city like Portland, Ted Wheeler, one of the furthest 680 00:38:21,457 --> 00:38:23,937 Speaker 1: left mayors in the United States. There was a period 681 00:38:24,177 --> 00:38:26,497 Speaker 1: in those years you mentioned Buck twenty one, twenty two, 682 00:38:26,577 --> 00:38:30,857 Speaker 1: twenty to twenty one when Portland saw an eight hundred 683 00:38:31,057 --> 00:38:35,617 Speaker 1: percent increase in murders. This is unheard of. We haven't 684 00:38:35,617 --> 00:38:39,777 Speaker 1: seen these numbers since the seventies. Crazy, but we'll see 685 00:38:39,817 --> 00:38:41,977 Speaker 1: if people are waking up. Even Democrats they got to 686 00:38:42,017 --> 00:38:43,817 Speaker 1: wake up too, because they've managed to take over and 687 00:38:43,857 --> 00:38:47,217 Speaker 1: now destroy their own cities. John, my friend, always words 688 00:38:47,217 --> 00:38:50,017 Speaker 1: a wisdom. Good to see it, great to see a buck. Thanks. 689 00:38:55,657 --> 00:38:58,377 Speaker 1: Billionaire Elon Musk seems to have won at least one 690 00:38:58,417 --> 00:39:01,417 Speaker 1: battle against Twitter. Earlier this week, Must threaten to walk 691 00:39:01,457 --> 00:39:03,657 Speaker 1: away from a deal to buy the social media company 692 00:39:03,657 --> 00:39:06,897 Speaker 1: if it didn't allow him and his legal team full 693 00:39:06,937 --> 00:39:10,417 Speaker 1: access to its internal data to address concern about the 694 00:39:10,457 --> 00:39:13,697 Speaker 1: number of spambots on the platform. In a letter to Twitter, 695 00:39:13,777 --> 00:39:16,777 Speaker 1: must attorney wrote Twitter's latest offer to simply provide additional 696 00:39:16,897 --> 00:39:20,577 Speaker 1: details regarding the company's own testing methodologies, whether through written 697 00:39:20,577 --> 00:39:24,977 Speaker 1: materials or verbal explanations, is tantamount to refusing mister Musk's 698 00:39:25,057 --> 00:39:28,617 Speaker 1: data requests. Twitter's effort to characterize it otherwise is merely 699 00:39:28,617 --> 00:39:31,217 Speaker 1: an attempt to obfuscate and confuse the issue. Mister Musk 700 00:39:31,297 --> 00:39:33,337 Speaker 1: has made it clear he does not believe that the 701 00:39:33,337 --> 00:39:37,337 Speaker 1: companies lacks testing methodologies are adequate, so he must conduct 702 00:39:37,457 --> 00:39:40,897 Speaker 1: his own analysis the data he has requested as necessary 703 00:39:40,937 --> 00:39:43,537 Speaker 1: to do so. After Twitter had about forty eight hours 704 00:39:43,577 --> 00:39:47,057 Speaker 1: of deliberation, it appears Musk will receive the information he 705 00:39:47,097 --> 00:39:50,377 Speaker 1: asked for. Joined me now to discuss former Facebook intelligence 706 00:39:50,417 --> 00:39:54,377 Speaker 1: analyst and director of Heritage's Heritage Foundations Tech Policy Center 707 00:39:54,737 --> 00:39:57,697 Speaker 1: Para Frederick Carrett. Thanks for being with us, orts, thanks 708 00:39:57,697 --> 00:40:00,417 Speaker 1: for having me. So let's start with what is it 709 00:40:00,457 --> 00:40:02,657 Speaker 1: forever and at home? You know, people work in this 710 00:40:02,657 --> 00:40:04,377 Speaker 1: stuff and the media care a lot more about the 711 00:40:04,377 --> 00:40:07,657 Speaker 1: Twitter situation, I think than everyday folks. But so explain 712 00:40:07,777 --> 00:40:12,257 Speaker 1: to us what the issue was here. There are too 713 00:40:12,257 --> 00:40:15,377 Speaker 1: many bots on. Basically, Elon, as the purchaser of Twitter, 714 00:40:15,457 --> 00:40:17,257 Speaker 1: wants to know how many fake accounts there are? Is 715 00:40:17,297 --> 00:40:21,377 Speaker 1: that what this is exactly? And the lawyers, the letters 716 00:40:21,417 --> 00:40:24,657 Speaker 1: that are flying between the lawyers, Elon's lawyers at least 717 00:40:24,697 --> 00:40:28,177 Speaker 1: are saying that this is a clear material breach of 718 00:40:28,177 --> 00:40:31,857 Speaker 1: the takeover agreement because Twitter has said we're not going 719 00:40:31,897 --> 00:40:33,737 Speaker 1: to let you look under the hood in this way. 720 00:40:33,937 --> 00:40:37,097 Speaker 1: We're not going to reveal proprietary information. They're calling it 721 00:40:37,177 --> 00:40:39,697 Speaker 1: private information that they don't want to reveal to the 722 00:40:39,737 --> 00:40:43,537 Speaker 1: public about their bot counting. And their spam methodologies. So 723 00:40:43,577 --> 00:40:47,897 Speaker 1: Twitter has itself publicly said that we the platform is 724 00:40:47,897 --> 00:40:51,457 Speaker 1: comprised of only five percent bots, but Elon said, nah, 725 00:40:51,537 --> 00:40:53,617 Speaker 1: I've done a little digging with my own people, and 726 00:40:53,657 --> 00:40:56,737 Speaker 1: we're thinking it could be upwards of twenty percent bots, 727 00:40:57,257 --> 00:41:00,257 Speaker 1: composed of you know, what the platform is, or the 728 00:41:00,257 --> 00:41:04,057 Speaker 1: automated accounts that are on the platforms vice the real legitimate, 729 00:41:04,097 --> 00:41:08,137 Speaker 1: authentic users. So that's what this is about, because if 730 00:41:08,217 --> 00:41:12,097 Speaker 1: Twitter is comprised of twice any percent bobs, then Elon's 731 00:41:12,177 --> 00:41:14,657 Speaker 1: not getting his money's worth out of this platform. It 732 00:41:14,737 --> 00:41:17,897 Speaker 1: doesn't Hey, it's not real political discourse that's going on. 733 00:41:17,977 --> 00:41:21,657 Speaker 1: It's not real authentic users that are engaging with each other. 734 00:41:21,697 --> 00:41:25,137 Speaker 1: It's you know, those automated accounts that push various you 735 00:41:25,137 --> 00:41:29,817 Speaker 1: can push propaganda, you can push advertising, you can push 736 00:41:29,857 --> 00:41:33,697 Speaker 1: all sorts of crazy things, you know, strings and puppeteers 737 00:41:33,737 --> 00:41:37,017 Speaker 1: from state ling actors like the CCP can run rampant 738 00:41:37,017 --> 00:41:40,177 Speaker 1: on these platforms too. So Elon wants to know what 739 00:41:40,257 --> 00:41:44,297 Speaker 1: he's paying for, and Twitter has thus far said, we're 740 00:41:44,497 --> 00:41:46,137 Speaker 1: not going to let you in on that because all 741 00:41:46,137 --> 00:41:50,377 Speaker 1: of that is proprietary to us, our private platform. In 742 00:41:50,417 --> 00:41:53,297 Speaker 1: an article on the Verge, they wrote that Twitter will 743 00:41:53,337 --> 00:41:57,497 Speaker 1: give Elon Musk fire hose data access to settle bot complaints, 744 00:41:57,497 --> 00:42:00,617 Speaker 1: and Twitter preparing to grant Elon Musk unprecedented access to 745 00:42:00,817 --> 00:42:03,337 Speaker 1: platform data in an effort to address his concerns about 746 00:42:03,377 --> 00:42:09,057 Speaker 1: automated accounts. So this fire hose of data they're talking about, 747 00:42:10,217 --> 00:42:11,777 Speaker 1: how could they assume that? I mean, if someone's going 748 00:42:11,817 --> 00:42:14,097 Speaker 1: to buy your company, don't they and you have an 749 00:42:14,097 --> 00:42:16,017 Speaker 1: agreement with them that they're looking at they're doing their 750 00:42:16,097 --> 00:42:18,737 Speaker 1: due diligence. How could they hide this? I mean, that's 751 00:42:18,817 --> 00:42:22,217 Speaker 1: it just seems like this is so basic. Yeah, no kidding, 752 00:42:22,217 --> 00:42:24,377 Speaker 1: And that's why I think what's going through Elon's head 753 00:42:24,417 --> 00:42:27,577 Speaker 1: as well. He wants to make sure that he's what 754 00:42:27,657 --> 00:42:30,617 Speaker 1: he was promised is what he's actually getting. So if 755 00:42:30,657 --> 00:42:32,937 Speaker 1: that fire hose of data comes at him, you know, 756 00:42:33,017 --> 00:42:35,497 Speaker 1: Elon knows a lot of smart people in the industry. 757 00:42:35,577 --> 00:42:39,177 Speaker 1: I hope he has an army of data scientists, of programmers, 758 00:42:39,217 --> 00:42:42,537 Speaker 1: of people who can actually comb through this data and 759 00:42:42,617 --> 00:42:45,457 Speaker 1: make sense of it. That would be great and look 760 00:42:45,497 --> 00:42:48,857 Speaker 1: and basically double check the methodologies for bot counting and 761 00:42:48,897 --> 00:42:51,857 Speaker 1: all of these spam accounts. So that would be fantastic, 762 00:42:51,897 --> 00:42:54,457 Speaker 1: But you're right, it's the most basic thing. And what 763 00:42:54,537 --> 00:42:57,497 Speaker 1: I think this actually does end up highlighting buck is 764 00:42:57,537 --> 00:43:00,937 Speaker 1: the fact that these tech companies they do not operate 765 00:43:00,977 --> 00:43:03,977 Speaker 1: with transparency as one of their major goals or one 766 00:43:04,017 --> 00:43:08,137 Speaker 1: of their major values whatsoever. If Elon Musk, the richest 767 00:43:08,177 --> 00:43:10,857 Speaker 1: man in the world, has to beg and beg and 768 00:43:10,977 --> 00:43:14,177 Speaker 1: beg to get access to a platform that he should 769 00:43:14,297 --> 00:43:17,017 Speaker 1: ultimately end up owning, then this is a problem. Think 770 00:43:17,017 --> 00:43:20,537 Speaker 1: of what the average American user gets when they sign 771 00:43:20,617 --> 00:43:23,777 Speaker 1: up for these tech companies. It ain't transparency. Well, what 772 00:43:23,817 --> 00:43:25,777 Speaker 1: do you what do you think he may find here? 773 00:43:25,817 --> 00:43:29,497 Speaker 1: Because there's clearly some sensitivity on the part of the 774 00:43:29,657 --> 00:43:34,377 Speaker 1: current and hopefully soon to be former Twitter leadership about 775 00:43:34,457 --> 00:43:38,617 Speaker 1: their data their practices. Do you have some sense of 776 00:43:39,337 --> 00:43:43,057 Speaker 1: what Elon could be looking at beyond just bots? You know, 777 00:43:43,137 --> 00:43:47,377 Speaker 1: Twitter's had a long heads up right now, so they've 778 00:43:47,417 --> 00:43:49,497 Speaker 1: had time to sort of try to clean up their act. 779 00:43:49,697 --> 00:43:53,097 Speaker 1: There were reports initially when the deal first emerged in 780 00:43:53,137 --> 00:43:55,777 Speaker 1: the public eye that they were sort of mining their 781 00:43:55,857 --> 00:43:59,617 Speaker 1: p's and ques, that they were halting all a product 782 00:43:59,697 --> 00:44:03,297 Speaker 1: tinkering and any sort of different sort of evolutions of 783 00:44:03,337 --> 00:44:06,417 Speaker 1: their product. From being shipped so that remember everyone was 784 00:44:06,457 --> 00:44:09,777 Speaker 1: experienced on the conservative side at least that there was 785 00:44:10,177 --> 00:44:13,737 Speaker 1: tick in user counts and whatnot. So I think they've 786 00:44:13,737 --> 00:44:16,257 Speaker 1: had a while to try to clean up their act 787 00:44:16,297 --> 00:44:20,177 Speaker 1: and get those content moderation processes. If they don't want 788 00:44:20,177 --> 00:44:23,737 Speaker 1: Elon to investigate and look at what they're doing that's 789 00:44:24,137 --> 00:44:28,377 Speaker 1: obviously been very biased, they're probably cleaning that up right now. 790 00:44:28,377 --> 00:44:30,737 Speaker 1: They've probably had a lot of time to clean it up, 791 00:44:31,297 --> 00:44:34,617 Speaker 1: as you know, we in the intelligence community to burn 792 00:44:34,657 --> 00:44:36,937 Speaker 1: all the documents and whatnot would have done before we're 793 00:44:36,977 --> 00:44:40,577 Speaker 1: getting out of embassies overseas, So I think it's I 794 00:44:40,617 --> 00:44:43,177 Speaker 1: think they've been given a lot of lead time to 795 00:44:43,177 --> 00:44:45,537 Speaker 1: clean up their act. But you know, Elon's good and 796 00:44:45,617 --> 00:44:48,217 Speaker 1: again he has really powerful friends who are good at 797 00:44:48,217 --> 00:44:50,737 Speaker 1: this stuff too, so we'll see. I think they'll be 798 00:44:50,737 --> 00:44:53,057 Speaker 1: able to ferret something out for the American people to 799 00:44:53,137 --> 00:44:56,937 Speaker 1: look at. Do you think this transaction, the purchase of Twitter, 800 00:44:57,257 --> 00:45:02,217 Speaker 1: which could have enormous implications for our information ecosystem on 801 00:45:02,257 --> 00:45:05,377 Speaker 1: the new side, just free speech implications in general, Do 802 00:45:05,417 --> 00:45:08,257 Speaker 1: you think Elan's gonna actually end up the owner of 803 00:45:08,297 --> 00:45:11,457 Speaker 1: Twitter based on what you're seeing? You know, book I 804 00:45:11,497 --> 00:45:14,137 Speaker 1: think it's fifty fifty. And just in terms of what 805 00:45:14,177 --> 00:45:17,857 Speaker 1: Elon's thinking himself, he could be walking away or he 806 00:45:17,897 --> 00:45:21,497 Speaker 1: could again be setting himself up for those more advantageous 807 00:45:21,617 --> 00:45:24,777 Speaker 1: terms and actually trying to get this platform added discount. 808 00:45:24,857 --> 00:45:27,577 Speaker 1: So at this point, you know, I was a little 809 00:45:27,617 --> 00:45:31,097 Speaker 1: skeptical in the beginning. Then my hope really really spiked. 810 00:45:31,137 --> 00:45:33,697 Speaker 1: But look at what they're throwing at him. Remember when 811 00:45:33,737 --> 00:45:36,857 Speaker 1: the board took those poison pills. Look at the Joint 812 00:45:36,897 --> 00:45:42,097 Speaker 1: SEC and DOJ investigations by the Biden administration reportedly into 813 00:45:42,257 --> 00:45:46,297 Speaker 1: his other business dealings. Look at the sexual misconduct allegations. 814 00:45:46,337 --> 00:45:49,617 Speaker 1: I mean, these people are throwing everything they can at Elon. 815 00:45:49,777 --> 00:45:53,377 Speaker 1: And if he ends up actually confirming that the bobs 816 00:45:53,417 --> 00:45:55,817 Speaker 1: are only at five percent or in an area that 817 00:45:55,897 --> 00:45:58,857 Speaker 1: Twitter sets they are, I really really hope he does, 818 00:45:58,897 --> 00:46:02,377 Speaker 1: and I really hope he takes over breaks the ideological 819 00:46:02,417 --> 00:46:06,417 Speaker 1: monopoly that these big tech companies have over Americans and 820 00:46:07,217 --> 00:46:09,897 Speaker 1: uses it as a force for free speech in the world, 821 00:46:10,097 --> 00:46:13,057 Speaker 1: as he says, So I hope it goes through. Right now, 822 00:46:13,137 --> 00:46:16,097 Speaker 1: I think it's fifty fifty. To be completely honest, do 823 00:46:16,177 --> 00:46:19,457 Speaker 1: any of these free speech devoted platforms that have been 824 00:46:19,497 --> 00:46:21,737 Speaker 1: popping up in the last couple of years. I mean, 825 00:46:21,777 --> 00:46:24,897 Speaker 1: you were at Facebook, which is kind of the granddaddy 826 00:46:24,937 --> 00:46:26,297 Speaker 1: of all this, if you will, right, I mean, the 827 00:46:26,457 --> 00:46:29,657 Speaker 1: biggest one and the one that really got the whole 828 00:46:29,697 --> 00:46:32,937 Speaker 1: social media revolution started. So do you think that whether 829 00:46:32,977 --> 00:46:36,577 Speaker 1: it's Getter or truth Social or any of them, could 830 00:46:36,577 --> 00:46:40,377 Speaker 1: they maybe break parlor? Could they maybe break out? You know, 831 00:46:40,457 --> 00:46:44,217 Speaker 1: I think it really depends on their underlying technologies. So 832 00:46:44,497 --> 00:46:46,577 Speaker 1: there's a company called Rumble that you're familiar with, the 833 00:46:46,657 --> 00:46:50,857 Speaker 1: YouTube competitive competitor, and there they have their own cloud 834 00:46:50,897 --> 00:46:55,977 Speaker 1: hosting services. There's other even specifically designed cloud hosting services 835 00:46:55,977 --> 00:46:58,617 Speaker 1: that are for free speech, like righte Forge. So you know, 836 00:46:58,737 --> 00:47:03,257 Speaker 1: it depends on if they make themselves themselves invulnerable to 837 00:47:03,537 --> 00:47:06,697 Speaker 1: something like Amazon Web Services yanking a parlor off of 838 00:47:06,697 --> 00:47:10,177 Speaker 1: their cloud hosting services. So, conservatives, if they build with 839 00:47:10,257 --> 00:47:14,417 Speaker 1: that full digital stack in mind and have an acknowledgement 840 00:47:14,497 --> 00:47:17,857 Speaker 1: that the infrastructure actually matters, not just the platforms sitting 841 00:47:17,857 --> 00:47:20,777 Speaker 1: on top of those cloud oasting services and those servers, 842 00:47:21,057 --> 00:47:23,217 Speaker 1: then I think they have a chance at survival. But 843 00:47:23,297 --> 00:47:25,657 Speaker 1: if they just ride on top of what these big 844 00:47:25,657 --> 00:47:28,817 Speaker 1: tech platforms have already built, then you know there's always 845 00:47:28,817 --> 00:47:30,937 Speaker 1: the chance that you're going to get snuffed out, or 846 00:47:31,017 --> 00:47:34,217 Speaker 1: you have to be beholden to the ideology of these 847 00:47:34,257 --> 00:47:37,297 Speaker 1: companies and what they're pushing. Dare I always appreciate it. 848 00:47:37,297 --> 00:47:56,137 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us. Thanks Buck.
