1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Senner going to be back with you in studio.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: It's been a while, it's been crazy, certainly politically, and

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this piece of paper that

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: everyone's talking about. Christopher Ray, the FBI director, has been

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: hell bent on not giving a document that it reportedly

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: ties Joe Biden to some sort of bribery scheme to Congress.

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: This is shocking on its face, but now we're being

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: told that on Monday, he's going to bring this document

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: to Congress.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: Finally, what do we know about it outside of that?

11
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: Well, the facts are simple. Which is an informant let

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: the FBI know that he or she had evidence that

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 3: Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme, and it

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: was a bribery scheme of five million dollars from a

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: foreign country. We don't know what country. We're told it's

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: not China, so it's some country not China, when Joe

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: Biden was vice president. Allegedly it was a five million

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: dollar bribery scheme in exchange for changes in US policy.

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 3: We don't know what kind of changes in US policy.

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: We also know that this informant called the FBI gave information.

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: This was an informant the FBI had used before in

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 3: multiple cases. They'd relied on this informant on matters that

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: had nothing to do with Joe Biden. So this is

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: someone presumably the FBI had reason to trust, reason to

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: give weight to what they had to say. And so

26
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: the FBI recorded the results of that phone call on

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: a document called an FD ten twenty three. That is

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: a document that the FBI uses when you have an

29
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: informant reporting information, they write down the contents of the call. Now,

30
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: what we don't know is what happened next. What we

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 3: also don't know is what did the call say what exactly?

32
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: We have details that have basically been leaked out, but

33
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: we don't know the specifics. And so the House of

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: Representatives said, quite reasonably, we want to see the damn

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: piece of paper. We want to see the document. We

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: want to see what this informant told you about. Was

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: Joe Biden corrupt and on the take from a foreign nation?

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: Obviously the next step is going to be we want

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: to know what you did about it. Did you go

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: interview the guy, did you go investigate with their documentary evidence?

41
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: What did you do next? Or did you just bury it?

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: Did you just slow walk it? We have a different

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: whistleblower in the IRS who says the Abiden administration is

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: slow walking the investigations into Hunter Biden, deliberately putting roadblocks

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: in the way, deliberately avoiding investigating it. We know that

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: the FBI did that with Hunter Biden's laptop, that they

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 3: had the laptop and they sat on it and did

48
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: nothing because presumably they wanted to protect Joe Biden. And

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: so this was all headed to an epic battle where

50
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 3: Chris Ray, the director of the FBI, was saying, no,

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: you can't have this document, and James Comer and the

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 3: House said fine, we're gonna hold you in contempt. And

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: I got to say, thankfully, at the last minute blinked.

54
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: The director of the FBI was about to be held

55
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: in contempt to Congress when suddenly he blinked and said, okay,

56
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: you can see the document, but we're going to carry

57
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: it over to you and Comer and the ranking Democrat.

58
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: The two of you can sit down and review the

59
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: document in person. And Comer said, okay, So that is

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: going to happen today today. The FBI is going to

61
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 3: carry the document over. I don't know what it contains,

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: but that is happening today, And on the face of it,

63
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: it is an informant the FBI had trusted in the past,

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: who had been reliable in the past, who alleged that

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,559
Speaker 3: Joe Biden was directly involved in a multimillion dollar bribery scheme.

66
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: This piece of paper.

67
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: Is this a power play by the FBI and Christopher

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: Ray just to say you can't have the piece paper,

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: we'll let you look at it. Or is this a

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: we don't want this piece of paper to get out

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: to the public because so damning to the president who

72
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: was then the vice president went Apparently this bribery scheme

73
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: allegedly happened. Why are they so helpent on protecting this

74
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: piece of paper? Could it be both the same time,

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: or is it probably the fact that this is a

76
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: much bigger deal than they want anybody to know about.

77
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, look that there are a combination of factors, and

78
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: to be fair, we don't know for sure right now.

79
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: On one level, the FBI is naturally protective of information

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 3: involving confidential informants. The FBI gets confidential informants all the time.

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: They don't want to out their confidential informants. So that

82
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: is a reasonable law enforcement instinct, let's protect our informants

83
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: on the other side. And look, we've talked about this before.

84
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 3: I've known Chris Ray for twenty five plus years. Chris

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: Ray is not a hardcore lefty. He's not even a Democrat.

86
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: Chris Ray is a company man. Chris Ray is non political,

87
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: non ideological, but he views his role as I've got

88
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: to protect the institution of the FBI. And I mean

89
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: I have been on the phone yelling at Chris Ray

90
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: explaining to him, you're not, in fact protecting the FBI.

91
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 3: When you protect the hardcore partisans who've corrupted the FBI,

92
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 3: you are hurting the institution. If you actually cared about

93
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: the institution, you wouldn't protect those partisans who are perverting

94
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: law enforcement. You would instead hold them to account and

95
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: you would terminate them. You would clean a house. That's

96
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 3: what needs to happen. And when it comes to Congress,

97
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 3: I think Chris Ray has a very limited view of accountability.

98
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: He has a view that the FBI is above reproach

99
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: and how dare anyone ask what the hell they're doing?

100
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: So when Congress asked for something, he has an imperious

101
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: response of we don't report to you and He's right,

102
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: they don't report to Congress. He reports to the Department

103
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: of Justice. The Department of Justice, on the other hand,

104
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: is directly accountable to Congress, and Congress is accountable to

105
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: the American people. And when Chris Ray says, we don't

106
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 3: report to you, what he's really saying to the American

107
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: people is, we don't report to the American people. We

108
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: have no standards that govern us. We are the FBI.

109
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: We can do whatever the hell we want, and that

110
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: is profoundly harmful for the rule of law and for

111
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: fair and impartial administration of justice.

112
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: There's a time also aspect of this piece of paper center.

113
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: It's a piece of paper apparently that the FBI has

114
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: had for quite some time. James Comer mentioned that, and

115
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: I want to play it for people because I think

116
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: that also brings a different dynamic into this. How long

117
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: have they had this and what have they not done

118
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: since they've had it? Before we play that, though, I

119
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: want to tell you about Patriot Mobile. If you are

120
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: sick and tired of giving your money to woke companies

121
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: and organizations that are obviously fighting against your value, and

122
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: we've seen a lot of this lately with Bud light,

123
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: and target. The list goes on and on. With cell phone,

124
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: you really didn't have an option for many years. You

125
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: just had to go along with it because there was

126
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: big companies. They were given a ton of money to

127
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: left its organizations. You don't have to do that anymore.

128
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile was the only conservative Christian cell phone company

129
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: in the US, and when you pay your bill, they're

130
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: actually fighting for what you believe in. Now you get

131
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 2: the same great coverage you're used to right now, except

132
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: you're giving your money to an organization that's fighting for

133
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: the First and the Second Amendment, fighting for a veterans,

134
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: fighting for a police, and fighting for the rights of

144
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: was talking about the years this letter has just been

145
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: sitting there and if it wasn't for Wistlebler, we wouldn't

146
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: know they ever had it.

147
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Here's where we had to say on Fox.

148
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: They've had the document for four years. We don't know

149
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: if they've even investigated it. That's my fear that they

150
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 4: never did anything. Which you look at what's happened with

151
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: the RS. With the RS was the blowers claim is

152
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: they were told to stand down. There's a pattern within

153
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 4: our federal government of when looking at any type of

154
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 4: wrongdoing by the Biden family, that people in the government

155
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: bureaucracy have told rank and foul government employees to stand

156
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 4: out or to give them the file and don't worry

157
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: about it. That's basically what Director Ray has told me.

158
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 4: I have demonstrated a pattern of Joe Biden traveling all

159
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: over the world, and weeks after he leaves the country,

160
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: his family starts mysterious getting wires from that foreign country

161
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: into shell companies that then are wired back to the

162
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: individual family. Let me ask you, not normal behavior.

163
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: If this letter is as damning as it seems it

164
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: could be, Senator, what happens next? Can if Comer looks

165
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: at the FBI director and says, hey, did you guys

166
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: investigate this? And he says, I'm not going to tell

167
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: you if he claims it's an ongoing investigation, how do

168
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: we find out more? What are the options on the table?

169
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 2: And could this go to even bigger stand offs?

170
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at it, certainly? Could you know? I will

171
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: say what James was saying right there is really significant

172
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: this pattern. Joe Biden gets on a plane, he flies

173
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 3: to a foreign country. This is mostly when he was

174
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: vice president. He lands in the foreign countries there for

175
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: a day or two, he leaves, and then a few

176
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: weeks later, millions of dollars start coming from that foreign

177
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: country in wires to shell companies that distribute that money

178
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 3: to Biden family members. He said, that's not normal. I

179
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 3: actually think that's not normal. Is an insane understatement. That's friggin' bizarre. Look,

180
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 3: I've been in the Senate eleven years. My family doesn't

181
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: get wires from foreign countries, Like, why would we. I

182
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 3: don't know of anyone in the Senate whose family gets

183
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: wires from foreign countries. That would be bizarre. I don't

184
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: know of anyone in the federal government I don't know

185
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: of any cabinet official. I don't know of anyone whose

186
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 3: family miraculously gets paid off by shady Ukrainians or shady

187
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: Chinese communists. I mean, these facts, this is these are

188
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: criminal allegations. These are allegations of serious criminal corruptions. And

189
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: it's not like, oh, oh, come now, who hasn't had

190
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: a few million dollars sent to your uncle Benny when

191
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: you happen to come back from Beijing. Well, no, no,

192
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: normal people don't do that. And by the way, the

193
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 3: Chinese communists don't send a few million dollars in exchange

194
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: for nothing. It's not publisher's clearinghouse. They don't show up

195
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: with Ed McMahon at your door and say, guess what,

196
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: here's a check for you. It's not because they like

197
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's aviators. They're getting something for it. They're not

198
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: in the business of giving away money. And so the

199
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 3: fact that the FBI, and by the way, they've had

200
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 3: it four years four years ago, who was President Donald Trump.

201
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: So this is during the Trump administration. The FBI gets

202
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: this in information. But the FBI, the deep state is

203
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: so corrupted. Listen, the FBI was waging war against Donald Trump.

204
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 3: The FBI was functionally on the Biden presidential campaign, and

205
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: we also know that from the Twitter files. I get

206
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 3: that sounds like it should be hyperbole. Come on, that

207
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: can't be right, and yet it's reality until we look

208
00:11:55,240 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: at the Twitter files where the FBI was asking big tech, Hey,

209
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: don't run any stories on the Hunter Biden laptop. Hey

210
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: suppress anyone else from even talking about it. Hey use

211
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: your monopoly power to silence discussion of topics that would

212
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 3: hurt Joe Biden in the election. Why well, they don't

213
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 3: actually state it, but it's not complicated to figure out

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 3: because they wanted Biden to win and Trump to lose,

215
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: and that level of corruption. So this report comes in,

216
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 3: and by the way, it is unusual. Look, I worked

217
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: at DOJ. I worked five years at the Texas Attorney

218
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: General's office to get to get a report of a

219
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: senior government official getting millions of dollars of bribes from

220
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: a foreign nation. I've never seen that happen before. That's bizarre,

221
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: just that report. Now, the report may not be true,

222
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 3: although the fact that the informant was someone else who

223
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: had proven reliable and they relied on before, that gives

224
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: it greater indissia of reliability.

225
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: The media is really, by the way, looked over that point.

226
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 2: I think we should just make it very clear. This

227
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: was a person who the FBI trusted, who they've used

228
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: before as an informant before on other issues not related

229
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 2: to the five million dollar bribery accusation with a former

230
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 2: vice president Joe Biden. That is significant. It should be

231
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: leading on the front page of newspapers. No one's talking

232
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: about this first off, but they're certainly not telling you

233
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: that piece of information.

234
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 3: Look our newspapers, our major networks. They are corrupt. I

235
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 3: don't use the phrase mainstream media because there's nothing mainstream

236
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 3: about the Marxists who are running these institutions. The phrase,

237
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: as you know that, I use as corrupt corporate media.

238
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: They are corporations. Their political decision is decided from the

239
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 3: corner office, and they are right now the left wing

240
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party. They're not talking about these facts.

241
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: But you asked, what are the next steps. Look, comer's

242
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 3: gonna look at this document number one. See, okay, what

243
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: was reported? The obvious next question is going to be

244
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: what'd you do? Do you interview with him? Okay, I

245
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 3: want to see the notes from that interview. I assume

246
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: they interviewed the guy. If they didn't interview the guy,

247
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: holy crap. Yeah, so I'm assuming they interviewed him. I'm

248
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 3: the level of malfeasans. If they didn't even bother to

249
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: follow up on it, somebody should be fired and maybe

250
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: go to jail. If they didn't follow up on it,

251
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: I'm going to assume they did. The next thing Comber

252
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: is going to ask, let me see the meeting notes. Now,

253
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:29,479
Speaker 3: it's worth noting this document, the twenty three it's not classified.

254
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: Why is that, by the way for people to understand?

255
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: Because we hear it's not classified, so we assume that

256
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: it's not as important.

257
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: That's not always classified typically involves national security matters. So

258
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: if you have a schematic of the electronics of the

259
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 3: F thirty five, that's classified. Sure, we don't want our

260
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: enemies to know how our advanced fighter jets operate. If

261
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: you have a spy, we've got a spy in Moscow

262
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: that tells us something Putin's saying, whether it's an American

263
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: spy or it's a Russian asset for US asset who's

264
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: doing something that's classified. Because you don't want to expose

265
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: our intelligence. There's lots of things, but generally things that

266
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: are classified deal with either the military or foreign policy.

267
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: This has not been classified. It is something that is

268
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: referred to as law enforcement confidential, which is I go

269
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: back to the FBI. Is not unreasonable. That is a

270
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: general matter what confidential informants put forward should be protected,

271
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: because going back to the drug mule, if the drug

272
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: mule knew that he or she would be outed, you

273
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: wouldn't come forward and provide information. And law enforcement depends

274
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: upon the idea that we're going to protect enforcements. In

275
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: this instance, however, there is a massive public interest in

276
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: knowing was the vice president of the United States, who

277
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: now happens to be the President of the United States

278
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: corrupt and being paid off by a foreign nation. That

279
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 3: is an issue of public importance. I would say, at

280
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 3: the very highest level, if the president is on the

281
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: take from one of our enemies, every American deserves to

282
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: know about it. And Congress has a right not just

283
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 3: to write an obligation to get to the bottom of that.

284
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: You know, you look at impeachment a lot of discussion

285
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: about high crimes and misdemeanors. Yeah, but treason and bribery

286
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: are explicitly named reason for a good reason, impeachment lies

287
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: for trees and bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

288
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: Treason and bribery are right at the top of the

289
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: list there, at the top of the pyramid. They're the

290
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: worst things a president can do. And if a president

291
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: is being bribed by a foreign nation who is an

292
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: enemy of America to make decisions against America's interest, that

293
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: could well be not just bribery, but treason as well.

294
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: Now we don't know, I'm engaging in speculation upon speculation there.

295
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: Why don't know because the I won't release the information.

296
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: So Comber's going to sit down and look at it.

297
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 3: Depending on what it says. Comber's next question is going

298
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 3: to be did you interview the person? And I assume

299
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: there's going to be an escalation from there to say

300
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 3: this information needs to go public, we need to have

301
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: a hearing, depending on the credibility of the source. If

302
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: I were Comer, I'd say I want this informant to testify. Now,

303
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: at some level, the concerns about why you want an

304
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: informant their identity to be protected, presumably those concerns are

305
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: less here. If it's a drug mule, you want to

306
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: protect the identity because the drug dealers will murder him.

307
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good reason. Sure, one would hope Joe

308
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: Biden is not going to murder this informant. So the

309
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 3: reasons of protecting a witness from violence from the target

310
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 3: of whatever it is the forman is passing on should

311
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: presumably be less now depending on the foreign nation. If

312
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: it's Russia, if it's North Korea, if it's Iran. I

313
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: mean there are enemies of America, China. We know it's

314
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: not China, but at least okay, we actually don't know anything.

315
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: What is being said in the leaky world suggests that

316
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 3: it's not China, but you know, there are friends. It

317
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: could be I'm just picking a country out of the hat.

318
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: It could be France. France presumably's not going to whack

319
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: the guy for making it public. Iran might or Russia.

320
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: So who the country is matters in terms of the

321
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 3: risk to the individual. Could easily be Ukraine. We obviously

322
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: know of Hunter Biden's long history of being paid for,

323
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: paid and paid for by Barisma and making millions of dollars,

324
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: so Ukraine is certainly a real contender given the other

325
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 3: history or it's another country, we don't know about it altogether,

326
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: and that that could open a whole new chapter in there.

327
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: But I think the House will believe assuming there's there there. Now, look,

328
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: it's possible. You look at this document. The guy's a

329
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,959
Speaker 3: crank and he says, you know, little green men who

330
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 3: were Martians arrived and gave cash to Joe Biden.

331
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: But if that's true, why would they really do this

332
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: to protect this document the way they make any sense

333
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: to Yeah, you would just say here, see it right?

334
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: Why would you fight so hard to the point where

335
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: you're almost held in contempt to Congress?

336
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, the next stage will be to fight to make

337
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: this information public. And so comer took as an intermediate ground.

338
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: Let's look, I'm glad Ray gave in. And by the way, look,

339
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: at some level, Ray had a stronger hand, and that

340
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: if Ray is held in contempt to Congress, the next

341
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: step of contempt holding does not is not self executing.

342
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 3: In order for Ray to go to jail for that,

343
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: DOJ has to prosecute him, And the chances that the

344
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: Biden DOJ would prosecute Chris Ray for contempt of Congress

345
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 3: are zero zero chance. But at the same time, look,

346
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: the FBI relies on subpoenas all the time, like in

347
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: a gazillion different cases, they're sending subpoenas out. The FBI

348
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 3: doesn't really want the director of the FBI held in

349
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: contempt for refusal to comply with a subpoena. That's a

350
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: problem for the FBI and Chris Ray. Eric Holder was

351
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 3: held in contempt of Congress when he was Attorney General

352
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 3: and the Eric Holder DOJ refused to prosecute him. So

353
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 3: there's a history with Obama of ignoring contempt findings. You know,

354
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 3: Ray is not the partisan that Holder is. Chris Ray,

355
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 3: I think, really wants to avoid being held in contempt

356
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 3: of Congress. He wouldn't wear it as a badge of

357
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 3: honor in a way that Holder was such a partisan

358
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: he was glad to do so. That's why Ray blinked.

359
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: He's at least providing this information. What I don't know

360
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: is how bad the information is. The House is going

361
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: to try to make it public, and you may see

362
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: an escalation of this battle.

363
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: I want to ask you one other question about whistleblowers

364
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: and how important they're becoming because we're finding all this

365
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: out from whistleblowers. And before I get your response to that,

366
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: I want to tell you in our friends they gust

367
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: of Precious Medals. You know what's been going on in

368
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: the economy, you know what's been happening with interest rates,

369
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: you know what's been happening with bank failures. If you

370
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: are in retirement, you're close to retirement, and you are

371
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 2: just tired of being stressed out, you know that there's

372
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: not a lot of time to make up losses. That's

373
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: why you should call a gust of Precious Medals. Now

374
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: I use them, and the reason why is I want

375
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 2: to diversified portfolio. I want to protect some of my

376
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: hard earned assets in gold, and you can protect your

377
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: retirement in this crazy economy with a gold IRA. Now

378
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 2: when you call Augusta Precious Medals, they're going to actually

379
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: do a one on one web conference with you. They're

00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: an account. So call the company that I use and

Speaker 2: that peace of mind that you want Augusta Precious Metals

390
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: dot Com. Lastly, on this Senator, whistleblowers are becoming a

391
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 2: really big deal and a big problem for this White House.

392
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: They are risking their careers when they come out as whistleblowers.

393
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 2: Yet we're seeing this start to get I think some

394
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 2: momentum where people are becoming brave because they're seeing other

395
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: people be brave.

396
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: This is all from a whistleblower here.

397
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: How big of an issue is this going to be

398
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 2: for the Biden administration moving forward and for the deep

399
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 2: state because we've never seen this, at least in my lifetime,

400
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: never seen this many whistleblowers come forward with such big info.

401
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I think it's going to become bigger and

402
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: bigger in part. Listen, you look at what's happened right now.

403
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 3: The FBI has never been held in such lowercas guard

404
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: as it is right now. The Department of Justice has

405
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 3: never been held in such low regard as it is

406
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: right now. That's actually not good for America. DJ is

407
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 3: incredibly important to this country. The FBI is incredibly important

408
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: to this country. We want a strong, vibrant, effective FBI

409
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 3: and DOJ that is nonpartisan, that's not a political weapon,

410
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: that's not targeting the enemies of the White House, that

411
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 3: is targeting bad guys, that is enforcing the law. And

412
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 3: I think part of the reason why we're seeing whistleblowers

413
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: come forward is there are thousands and thousands of good,

414
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 3: honorable people of patriots who sign up to be in

415
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 3: the FBI or the DOJ. You know, Ben, your dad's

416
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: a cop. Why did your dad sign up to be

417
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: a copy.

418
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: You want to keep you ale safe in service country,

419
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: plain and simple.

420
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 3: There are thousands of patriots just like that who say,

421
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 3: I want to be an FBI agent. What a great

422
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: Go go after drug traffickers, go after terrorists, go after kidnappers,

423
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 3: go after bank robbers. I mean, that's that's fun stuff.

424
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: That's important stuff. Look, my my favorite show on TV

425
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 3: is Criminal Minds. I love you know, the bau going

426
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 3: after serial killers. That stuff's awesome. Height he hates it,

427
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: by the way, absolutely hates it. I turn it on

428
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 3: TV and it's look, you're dealing with crazy psychopaths, who are,

429
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 3: you know, eating someone's liver like it's uh, you know,

430
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: with fava beans. I mean it's uh. She's like, why

431
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 3: is that evil and darkness coming into our house. I'm like, no, no, no,

432
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for the good guys. They're catching the But

433
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 3: the FBI does incredible work in lots of different areas.

434
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: As it the politicization has gotten more brazen, there are

435
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: thousands of people within those agencies who are horrified. I

436
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: talked to a USA's assistant US attorneys who are really concerned.

437
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: They don't like that DOJ acts like it's part of

438
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 3: the DNC. They don't like that the FBI has such

439
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: an obvious double standard that it's laughable. And so I

440
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 3: think you're going to see more whistleblowers of people who

441
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: believe in the mission of the agency and they're offended

442
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 3: that these cynical partisans are willing to destroy it to

443
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: achieve a political end.

444
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, great point there.

445
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see how this unfolds. We're

446
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: obviously going to cover it on verdict and let everybody

447
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: know how this moves forward after this document comes out.

448
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: I do want to get something else.

449
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 3: By the way, for the record, this podcast today has

450
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: already covered the topic more than CNN will in a year.

451
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, one podcast throwing MSNBC in there as well, that

452
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: might be in a decade.

453
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: You know, if they had viewers, you might know about it.

454
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 2: You and I I wish sometimes people could see our

455
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 2: text threads. I try not to send you something unless

456
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: it's to me shocking. Over the weekend, I was looking

457
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: at different podcasts. I was scrolling through, and there's a

458
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: New York Times podcast. It's very popular called The Daily,

459
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: usually ranks the top of the podcast charts. But there

460
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 2: was a title that I saw that shocked me, and

461
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: I sent it to you and I was like, you

462
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: got to.

463
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 3: See those as you know, Verdict has beaten The Daily

464
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 3: more than once.

465
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: Yes, which which makes me very very happy. This one though.

466
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: The title of this and I want to throw it

467
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: up there with the first audio clip because I want

468
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: people to understand that the context of what they were doing,

469
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: which was basically saying the Republican Party chose a war

470
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: on transgenderism, which is not the case at all, And

471
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 2: their title they had was how the GOP picked trans

472
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 2: kids as a rallying cry. Now, before we play the audio,

473
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: I want people to understand one thing center, and that

474
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: is we didn't pick it as a rallying cry.

475
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: We saw the.

476
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: Abuse of children at the hands of these activists and

477
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: surgeons at places like Vanderbilt that are mutilating at very

478
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: young ages, doing things that you can never reverse, and

479
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: talking about they're making millions, like we should be getting

480
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 2: into this because we're making so much money, acting almost

481
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: like it. They're drug dealers at that point, like, hey,

482
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 2: once we grab them, they need us for life. They

483
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 2: gotta have hormones, they gotta have this, they gotta have this.

484
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,959
Speaker 2: This is a seven figure deal for us. Grab as

485
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: many of these kids as you can bring in here.

486
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 2: We didn't pick this. We started defending children. And yet

487
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: The New York Times and their big podcast actually says

488
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 2: there was some scheme behind closed doors for conservatives to

489
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: use this as a rallying cry to get votes.

490
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. So you texted this podcast to me.

491
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: I'd actually seen the title. Now, I don't listen to

492
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 3: the Daily I have no interest in listening to what

493
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: The New York Times dissembles and lines.

494
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: This first time ever listened by the way.

495
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: But I do look at the podcast charts and this

496
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 3: was the number one podcast episode in the country. So

497
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: I saw the title before you sent it to me.

498
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 3: I had seen it earlier in the day and it

499
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 3: was the number one episode or earlier this past week.

500
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 3: And I will tell you I cursed out loud. I

501
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 3: literally saw the title and it made me curse out loud, like, wait,

502
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: how the GOP picked trans kids of the rallying cry?

503
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 3: We didn't pick them, You lunatics started cutting their genitals

504
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 3: off like this all healthcare. This is Marxism perfectly captured.

505
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 3: They start this new phenomenon. Let's take little kids, eight, nine,

506
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: ten year olds, Let's cut their genitals off, let's sterilize them,

507
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 3: make them never able to have babies. And then we'll say,

508
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: how did you guys pick this issue? We'll stop doing

509
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: this and we won't make it an issue like it is.

510
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 3: It is the most perverse Freudian projection slash jiu jitsu

511
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: you could imagine. Were they engage in conduct that is shocking.

512
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: Go back through any period of human history three years ago,

513
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: ten years years ago, fifty years ago, one hundred years ago,

514
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: five hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, two thousand

515
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: years ago, all right, two thousand years ago. The when

516
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 3: Jesus walked the earth. You walked up to people, You

517
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 3: walked up to the Romans in Jerusalem, said hey, what

518
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: do you think of the idea of cutting the genitals

519
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: off eight year old kids? They'd say you're insane, yes,

520
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: and they might well crucify you like this has been

521
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 3: a lunatic idea for the entire existence of the human

522
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: race until about the last thirty six months, when a

523
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: bunch of reality denying zealots decided it was a good idea.

524
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: And what is the old gray Lady The New York Times,

525
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: the paper of records say, oh, conservatives invented this issue. No,

526
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: it wasn't an issue until you started doing something truly horrifying.

527
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: All right, play this first clip.

528
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,959
Speaker 5: I think for some on the right this was a

529
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 5: matter of genuine concern, but there were somewhere this was

530
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 5: also a political decision, or a calculator decision. They saw

531
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 5: this as a potent issue, and they began to realize

532
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 5: that this could replace gay marriage, is something that could

533
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 5: help them organize, raise money, get attention, become relevant.

534
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: Okay, become relevant. So you got to understand. Look the

535
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 3: New York Times, they're in Manhattan. They're all little Marxists,

536
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 3: They're all woke. They all think this is a wonderful thing,

537
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: and they think anyone who disagrees with them is truly

538
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 3: a nutbag. By the way, they look at forty nine

539
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 3: states and they think probably forty six of them are insane.

540
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 3: They might acknowledge California, New Jersey, and may Well for

541
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: New Yorkers to even admit New Jersey exists as hard

542
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: valid point. The Connecticut they might be able to do.

543
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 3: They might say Grantwiches is okay. But most of the

544
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: country they think were a bunch of Neanderthals and Rubes

545
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 3: and apparently the only way to become relevant is to

546
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 3: be upset at the insanity of what they're doing. But

547
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 3: listen to the second clip.

548
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 5: You know, I don't think we should assume that some

549
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: of these gay rights groups would automatically move to trans

550
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: issues at the same time. Once that court made a decision,

551
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 5: they were without an issue that they had used to

552
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 5: organize and to raise money and to rally support for years,

553
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 5: so they needed to kind of figure out what to

554
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 5: do next. And you could see this sort of trend

555
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 5: toward embracing trans issues, and it began around then.

556
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: So this is an interesting moment when The New York

557
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 3: Times accidentally has a brief instance of honesty because what

558
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 3: they acknowledged is, and I talked about before the jiu Jitsu,

559
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: this is true of the left. What they are doing

560
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 3: they accused the other side of doing. It's straight out

561
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: of Slolenski. For just a moment that lefty reporter acknowledged, gosh,

562
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,959
Speaker 3: these gay rights organizations had a business model. They had

563
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 3: a business model that raised money. They raised money, and

564
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: it was a fight over gay marriage. Fight to give

565
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 3: to gay marriage. Give us money, pay our bills. By

566
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 3: the way, we want to live really nice lifestyles off

567
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: the money you give. We're going to fight for gay marriage. Hurrah, Hurrah, hurrah.

568
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 3: Well goes to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court decides Bergafel,

569
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 3: and suddenly gay marriage is the law of the land

570
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 3: in all fifty states. And they're sitting there, and that's

571
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: what the New York Times just acknowledge, going.

572
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: Oh crap, what's next.

573
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 3: Our whole issue that exists for us, we just wan on.

574
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: So if that's actually what we're about, we ought to

575
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: pack up our stuff and go home and tell all

576
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: of our donors go give to something else, because you

577
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: got what you wanted. But that's not if you're a grifter. Yeah,

578
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: you got a grift. And so what the New York

579
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 3: Times is acknowledging is they said, Okay, well we got

580
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 3: what we wanted on gay marriage, so let's move to

581
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: trans stuff. Because trans stuff, that's the next issue we

582
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: can energize and create. And then it became a political movement.

583
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: And then, in significant part because the left controls entertainment

584
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: and journalism, it became evidence of virtue. It became evidence

585
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: of how enlightened you are. Like, if you think there's

586
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: a problem with severing the healthy genitals of a child,

587
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 3: clearly you're the problem. Because we've decided this is the

588
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 3: essence of being sensitive and woke. And as the New

589
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 3: York Times said, this was all a business model.

590
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: I think one of the other shocking things that they

591
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: said here are they implied is that there was a

592
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: bunch of conservatives in a room. You've run for office,

593
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: you've worked on campaigns as well. The idea that Republicans

594
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: were sitting in a room somewhere and saying, all right,

595
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: let's figure out a way to fundraise over trans kids,

596
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 2: trans bathrooms, trans ideology in public schools, and in doctor nation.

597
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 2: It's impossible to have that conversation because the other side

598
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 2: would have to do all those things to even have

599
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: that conversation. You couldn't control that the way that they're

600
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 2: trying to imply here, which is that the GOP did

601
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: this out of thin air. No, you actually had activists

602
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: doing this. Look at even Gay Pride Month. It's longer

603
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: a month, it's two months. We know that from what

604
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: just happened at Target. They started putting everything in the

605
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 2: stores before it was Gay Pride Month.

606
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 3: Well, here play this next clip, because this is where

607
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 3: they engage in their sort of fantasy about what's going

608
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 3: on on the other side.

609
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 5: I guess the issue of bathrooms just wasn't resonating with

610
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 5: the public, at least at the time, so some conservative

611
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 5: strategists began looking around for other ways to frame transgender rights,

612
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 5: says an issue that could be winning for the Republican Party.

613
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: So what's funny about this? And let's go back to

614
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 3: the projection. So a minute ago, he just admitted the

615
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: gay rights groups needed a reason to exist and needed

616
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: a business model. And so they decided to embrace the

617
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: trans issues in order to keep raising money. They're envisioning

618
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 3: some nefarious Republican strategists in a smoke filled room, so

619
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 3: they don't name this is the issue, the campaign against

620
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 3: transgender rights as mobilized conservatives. Now they don't name them.

621
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 3: They don't know who it is either, and they're making

622
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 3: it up. Here's the dirty little secret. Most Republican officeholders

623
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 3: are terrified to talk about this. I serve in the

624
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: United States Senate. I served with forty eight other Republicans.

625
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 3: Forty of them wouldn't bring this topic up if you

626
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 3: put a gun to their head. They want to talk

627
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 3: about slightly reducing capital gains taxes and not really ticking

628
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 3: off the chamber of commerce. That's actually the bulk of

629
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: our Republican party is It is still people who are

630
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 3: afraid of their own shadows. So the idea that it

631
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 3: was some political strategists that came up with this is insane. Frankly,

632
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: the people talking about this are a handful of journalists

633
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 3: and activists, people like Matt Walsh. Matt Walsh has done

634
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: heroic efforts exposing what's going on. Libs of TikTok has

635
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 3: done heroic efforts exposing what's going on, and then folks

636
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 3: like you and me who are talking about it. But

637
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 3: to be honest, not only is there not this mysterious

638
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 3: Republican strategist, almost all the Republican strategists are like, no, no, no,

639
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: please don't talk about these issues. Please don't talk about them.

640
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: We're scared of them. So they are. The New York

641
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 3: Times just acknowledged that on the left it is a

642
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 3: business model decision. The irony is on the right, everyone

643
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 3: engaged in the business model is saying, don't get anywhere

644
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: near this. And I got to say, look, my view

645
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: is very simple, which is we should protect children, and

646
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 3: no child, no eight year old, no nine year old,

647
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: no ten year old, has the emotional maturity to make

648
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: a decision that is life altering. And actually I want

649
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 3: to elaborate on that, but let's play the last clip

650
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: because the last clip will set up the elaboration.

651
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

652
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 5: So they realized that there was a power to the

653
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 5: issue of fairness and sports and to the medical issue

654
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 5: like should trans teenagers miners have access to what's known

655
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 5: as gender or firming care. What I mean by that

656
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 5: is a range of treatments that can include mental health support,

657
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 5: hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and in rare cases, surgery.

658
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: Rare cases.

659
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: Now what they're trying to do, Play the next clip,

660
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 3: because let's see how rare the cases are. They say,

661
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: rare cases, so keep playing.

662
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 5: I think the reason the numbers are growing is because

663
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 5: in some parts of the country it's more acceptable to

664
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 5: come out as transgender and care is more accessible, and

665
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 5: medical professionals will tell you that kids do need this

666
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 5: kind of treatment at this point in their life when

667
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 5: there are a lot of changes going on in their bodies,

668
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: and it makes sense from that perspective to delay some

669
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 5: of these changes until these miners can come to terms

670
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 5: with what exactly they want to do in terms of transition.

671
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 5: And we're not talking about many kids getting medical treatment.

672
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 5: The best numbers we have show that maybe four thousand

673
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 5: kids began hormonetherapy in twenty twenty one. But it was

674
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 5: going on and it's caught the eye of conservatives, and

675
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 5: they're uncomfortable with the idea of trans people in general,

676
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 5: and they're uncomfortable with the idea of kids transitioning. So

677
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 5: it made sense, you know, both for a policy perspective,

678
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 5: and from a political perspective that Republicans seized on trans

679
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 5: youth as an issue.

680
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 3: So I'll tell you what I uncomfortable with. I'm uncomfortable

681
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 3: with a bunch of sadistic Marxists sterilizing and mutilating children.

682
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 3: And there's so much in what the New York Times

683
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: said there that that just frankly infuriates me. So one

684
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 3: of the things they said is, well, there's a range

685
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: of treatment that is gender affirming care. And boy, the

686
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 3: Left is good at euphemisms. Affirming is good, And wouldn't

687
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 3: you want something that affirms your gender. You're a man,

688
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 3: let's affirm your gender like like that seems wonderfully positive,

689
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 3: and it is. It is language that would make George

690
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: Orwell blush because it is the opposite of gender affirming.

691
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 3: It is trying to medically alter the gender that you are.

692
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: And then he gave a list of options, and the

693
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 3: first he said was counseling. Okay, fine, everyone's for counseling.

694
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: Like if a kid's troubled, they ought to have counselors,

695
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 3: they ought to have a therapist. That's a fairly mild

696
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 3: So he starts off with oh, yeah, yeah, that's real.

697
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 3: And then he says, hormone treatments and puberty blockers. Now,

698
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 3: hormone treatments and puberty blockers are re powerful drugs that

699
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 3: permanently alter the physiology of a child. And what that

700
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 3: can mean is, for a little girl, it can permanently

701
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 3: remove the ability of that girl to ever have children.

702
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 3: For a little boy, it can permanently remove the ability

703
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 3: of that boy to father children. And then they said,

704
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 3: in rare cases, just four thousand, I mean, you know,

705
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 3: what's the big deal. Four thousand kids were sterilizing. Why

706
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 3: are you upset about that? In rare cases? Surgery? Now

707
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 3: number one, those cases are not that rare. We're finding

708
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 3: hospitals after hospitals after hospitals who have these crazy euphemism.

709
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: They call them top surgery and bottom surgery. So top

710
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 3: surgery they cut the healthy breasts off young girls. Now,

711
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 3: by the way you cut them off, they don't grow back.

712
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 3: And we're seeing hundreds of cases of kids who had

713
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 3: this happen to them, or in some cases adults who

714
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 3: had this happened to them, who a few years later say,

715
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 3: my god, that was a terrible decision and it's not

716
00:40:59,160 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 3: coming back.

717
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: Done. Is done.

718
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: And to be clear, look, a top surgery is if

719
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: you have a woman who has breast cancer and she

720
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 3: has to have a masectomy or double misseectomy, that can

721
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 3: be part of saving her life. But to do that

722
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 3: to a child means that child will never breastfeed her daughter.

723
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 3: As bad as top surgery as bottom surgery, and we

724
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 3: don't need to get overly graphic, but it is surgically

725
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: removing healthy genitals from kids. Now, listen, if an adult

726
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 3: wants to do that, if you're twenty years old and

727
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 3: you decide you want to get it chopped off, do it. Look,

728
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 3: I grieve for you. I think that's actually a terrible decision.

729
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 3: But I think as an adult, if you want to

730
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: do it, you can. No eight year old has the

731
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 3: maturity to know that. Look, when I was eight, I

732
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 3: wanted to be a dinosaur. Who in their right mind

733
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 3: would implant velociraptor clause on me because I wanted to

734
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 3: be a dinosaur. And inevitably, when this is happening, the

735
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 3: culprit is not the child. The child is the victim.

736
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 3: The culprit is the adult. If you sterilize a child,

737
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,479
Speaker 3: you're engaged in child abuse. You don't have a right

738
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 3: to say I've decided that my child will never be

739
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 3: able to have children of his orro own. That's not

740
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 3: your right. An adult can make that decision. Look, if

741
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 3: an adult wants to go make the decision to give

742
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 3: up his or her ability to have children, you can

743
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 3: do that. A child doesn't have the maturity and an

744
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 3: adult doesn't have the right. And by the way, look

745
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 3: the issue of protecting children. I've spent a lifetime fighting

746
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 3: to protect children. When I was Solicitor General of Texas,

747
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 3: I litigated case after case after case of people that

748
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 3: engaged in the rape of children. Mediine versus Texas. One

749
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 3: of the biggest cases I argued, and one at the

750
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 3: Supreme Court, involved two teenage girls who were gang raped

751
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 3: and murdered in the city of Houston. Kennedy versus Louisiana.

752
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 3: Another case I argued at the Supreme Court involved a

753
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 3: man who viciously raped a seven year old girl in Texas.

754
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: Texas has a law, the Texas Sexually Violent Civil Commitment Law,

755
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 3: that provides that if you're a sexually violent predator and

756
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 3: you're adjudicated to be that, that you can be civilly

757
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 3: committed to prevent you from either raping women or raping children.

758
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 3: A court of appeals in Texas struck that law down.

759
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 3: I personally argued the appeal in the Texas Supreme Court

760
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 3: and won a unanimous victory nine to zero, reinstating that law.

761
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 3: So when it comes to protecting children from sexual violence,

762
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: I have spent decades doing this.

763
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 2: If there's anything I can say, and I think you

764
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 2: would agree with me on this one, is we didn't

765
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 2: ask for this war, but we are going to protect

766
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: and defend children at all costs. And that's something that

767
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 2: more concerns need to be about. They need to be

768
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: fighting harder. We need to be talking about this more.

769
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: We need to be exposing it more. And if you remember,

770
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: they mentioned New York Times and it just reminded me.

771
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 2: Had he mentioned bathrooms, you know they'd start in the

772
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: schools where a little timmy if he said he was

773
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:05,760
Speaker 2: Susie could go in the girl's bathroom.

774
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: It was father's.

775
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 2: They came out and said, I don't want my I

776
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 2: don't want to buy.

777
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 3: Stephen Smith in Louden County, Yeah, the father of the

778
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 3: fourteen year old girl who was sexually assaulted in the

779
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 3: bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt. That's the result

780
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 3: of this bathroom issue. And they said New York Times said, oh,

781
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 3: the bathroom issue didn't work. Really ever heard of Glenn Youngkin. Yeah, because,

782
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 3: to be honor, he would not be governor were it

783
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 3: not for their out of controlled ideology and endangering that

784
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 3: little girl and then the school superintendent lying about it

785
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 3: and insisting it never happened, and transferring that boy to

786
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 3: another school where that boy sexually assaulted another little girl

787
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 3: and arresting the father. And interestingly enough, a bunch of

788
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 3: suburban moms in northern Virginia who had voted for Joe

789
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 3: Biden a year earlier were so horrified by the extremes

790
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: of the left that they voted Republican and elected Glen Younk.

791
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 3: And I will say I did get in trouble on

792
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 3: a related issue on this on Twitter. So Trevor Noah,

793
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 3: you know, the really lousy left wing comic who was

794
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 3: on air for a while and then he wasn't funny

795
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 3: enough and got canceled. You can tell I'm grieving over that.

796
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 3: There was if you remember in California, there was like

797
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 3: a gender reveal party where they had set off. I

798
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 3: guess it was like fireworks, and it was going to

799
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 3: be blue or pink to tell everyone the sex of

800
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 3: their soon to be born baby. And they set it

801
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 3: off and it started a fire, and it was kind

802
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 3: of a big scandal because it was a fire, like

803
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 3: you shouldn't start a fire obviously. But Trevor Noah went

804
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 3: on air and said, well, why are they doing this?

805
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: After all? How do they know? How do they know

806
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 3: what the gender is? They won't know for years until

807
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: the child decides what gender he or she is. How

808
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 3: do they know? And you know what, since the dawn

809
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 3: of time, when babies have been born, doctor, I suspect

810
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 3: who's ever walked the planet. When they've handed mom their baby,

811
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 3: the first sentence out of the mouth has been it's

812
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 3: a boy or it's a girl. So somehow they figured

813
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 3: it out for millennia.

814
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: Have that experienced three times? And they got it right

815
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: on all.

816
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: Three both my girls. You know what, they didn't say,

817
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 3: here's a homo sapey in it. In five years, you'll

818
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 3: figure out its gender.

819
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:21,959
Speaker 1: It's whatever you want it to be. Yeah, never said

820
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 1: by a doctor.

821
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 3: So I will say I took Trevor Noah's little comment

822
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 3: and I did retweet it and I said, look, at

823
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: some level, Trevor has a point, because you know, many

824
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 3: liberal boys never do grow testicles. Yeah, that kind of

825
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 3: got me in trouble. I sort of had a little

826
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 3: bit of a lefty backlash.

827
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: On that, and I can tell you lost a lot

828
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: of sleep over that.

829
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, at least ten twelve seconds.

830
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: At least at least I want to end with some

831
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 2: good news, and that is another radical bid nominee. And

832
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: tell everybody this because Republicans are starting to get their

833
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 2: act together and realize that you can stop these radical

834
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: nominees from Joe Biden.

835
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: Talk little about the latest one to bite the dust.

836
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 3: Well, in twenty twenty three, first six months of twenty

837
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 3: twenty three, three and exactly three non judicial Biden nominees

838
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 3: have been defeated in the Senate. All three have been

839
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 3: defeated in the Senate Commerce Committee, where I'm the ranking member.

840
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 3: I'm the senior Republican on Commerce. So I've led the

841
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: opposition to all three, and we've defeated all three. No

842
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 3: other committee has taken down a non judicial nominee. The first,

843
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 3: as you know, was Gg Sohn. We've talked about her.

844
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 3: The radical left wing activist nominated to the Federal Communications Commission.

845
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 3: We built opposition to her. She would have used the

846
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: power of that very powerful regulatory agency to silence conservatives,

847
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 3: to target our enemies. She was defeated the White House Withdrewer.

848
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 3: The second was Phil Washington. Phil Washington, very nice man,

849
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 3: veteran of the military, need to be administrator of the FAA,

850
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 3: the Federal Aviation Administration. The only problem is he didn't

851
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: know a damn thing about airplanes, had no background in aviation,

852
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 3: no background in aviation safety. Again, I led the opposition

853
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 3: to him. We unified Republicans on the committee, and then

854
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 3: we picked off Democrats who said, we actually ought to

855
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 3: have a guy in charge of the FAA who knows

856
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 3: something about planes, who can keep us safe. This wasn't ideological.

857
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 3: This is Look, you and I both get our airplanes

858
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 3: all the time. We'd like our kids when they get

859
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 3: on a plane to be safe and not to crash

860
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 3: going from point A to point B. We'd like an

861
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 3: FAA that knows how to do that. So the third

862
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 3: example was a woman named Ann Carlson, and Carlson was

863
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 3: nominated to be the administrator of the Federal Highway Traffic

864
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: Safety Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety in Administration NITSA.

865
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 3: Now NITSA has a very important job. It's charged with

866
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 3: focusing on safety in automobiles on highways, looking at how

867
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 3: do we make cars more safe? How do we protect

868
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:01,240
Speaker 3: our families?

869
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 1: That important job.

870
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 3: Yes, And once again, just like with the FAA, the

871
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 3: FA is a safety job. Biden administration didn't care about

872
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 3: the safety component. Let's nominate someone who doesn't know anything

873
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 3: about safety, because it doesn't matter. They treated it instead

874
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 3: as a political patronage job. Let's take care of someone

875
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 3: who's a Democrat, who will make Democrat politicians happy, and

876
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 3: who cares if they know anything about how to do

877
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 3: the job NITSA. Likewise, they nominated someone that has no

878
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 3: real background in safety. But what is she? She's an

879
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: environmental activist and extremist. She's a law professor at UCLA

880
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 3: that runs their environmental litigation clinic, and that spends her

881
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 3: time suing energy companies trying to force the Green New Deal.

882
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 3: And in fact, she has a very lucrative business with

883
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 3: a for profit law firm where she brings these lawsuits

884
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,840
Speaker 3: over and over and over again. And so she was

885
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 3: quite out in the open and saying this is great.

886
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to use NITSA to push the Green New Deal,

887
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 3: to push to fight climate change. In other words, I'm

888
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 3: going to use NITSA to say, let's prohibit every internal

889
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 3: combustion engine in America. Let's force every car to be electric.

890
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 3: Never mind, if you want to drive a suburban, we're

891
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 3: not gonna let you why. We're gonna claim its safety,

892
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 3: which is absurd. But it was all about politics and ideology,

893
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 3: and they were quite open and brazen about it. If

894
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 3: you look at if you look at some of the

895
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 3: things that Ann Carlson said, and I've got to find it. Ah, Okay,

896
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 3: here it is. Here's one quote from an Carlson quote.

897
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 3: I think our set salvation relies not on the goodwill

898
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 3: of individuals. Instead, governments and markets need to take steps

899
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 3: to make us pay for the full cost of the

900
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 3: behaviors in which we engage. A carbon price on energy

901
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 3: usage is a good start. In other words, we need

902
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 3: to be saved from ourselves. So she wanted to get

903
00:50:57,760 --> 00:50:58,280
Speaker 3: on political.

904
00:50:58,280 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: It seems pretty political.

905
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 3: You wanted to use NITSA to save you from yourself.

906
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 3: You think you want a suburban, but really what you

907
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 3: want as a prius, and I'm gonna say a suburban

908
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 3: isn't safe and a prius is safer. Now, mind you, you

909
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 3: might be a lot more likely to die in a

910
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 3: traffic accident, which is the entire purpose of NITSA to

911
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 3: try to minimize that outcome. But I think the planet

912
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 3: will be safer. So this was their nominee. As with

913
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 3: Gigi Sohn, as with Phil Washington, I and my team

914
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 3: led the fight to defeat her nomination. We made the

915
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 3: case to all of the Republicans on the Commerce Committee,

916
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 3: and then we began systematically reaching out to Democrats, and

917
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 3: we did something we did in all three of these

918
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 3: prior nominations, which is we reached out to stakeholders. We

919
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 3: reached out to people who were likely to care about

920
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 3: this nomination and to pay the price for the consequences.

921
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 3: And so we got energy producers engaged in speaking out

922
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 3: and saying, this woman is a radical, don't put her

923
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 3: in this very important agency. We got farmers and ranchers

924
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 3: in the ag community to speak out, because look, if

925
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 3: you are going after internal combustion engines, Last I checked

926
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 3: a tractor uses one of those. Last I checked a

927
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 3: truck uses one of those. Last I checked, a combine

928
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 3: uses one of those, and driving up the cost for

929
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 3: farmers and ranchers is really harmful to AG. So the

930
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 3: AG community got engaged. They began reaching out, and what's amazing,

931
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 3: Biden Whitehouse this last week pulled her nomination. So we

932
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 3: still haven't had a hearing on it, but I think

933
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 3: they're shell shocked after losing not one, but two nominees.

934
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 3: They were so publicly and both of them they said

935
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 3: we're gonna win, We've got the votes, and it turned

936
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,439
Speaker 3: out no, they didn't, and we defeated them. To be clear,

937
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,879
Speaker 3: all three of these nominees were defeated not by going

938
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 3: into the gut or not by getting personal, not by engaging.

939
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: Not by politics.

940
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 3: They were defeated on substance that their records were incompatible

941
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 3: with the jobs to which they've been nominated. And so

942
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 3: at a time when there's reason to be dismayed from

943
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 3: lots of things, get another victory for the good guys.

944
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 3: That's a reason to celebrate.

945
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: It certainly is.

946
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 2: And you every once in a while I will send

947
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 2: out a tweet that makes me laugh. Usually your very

948
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: plan on Twitter. You don't take a lot of shots.

949
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: You don't get snarky with people, but there was one

950
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 2: this week that I think everyone should see in case

951
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 2: they missed it before we put it up there.

952
00:53:18,960 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about our friends at chalk.

955
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 2: of your strength and vitality, you feel fatigue and weakness

956
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 2: setting in.

975
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,919
Speaker 2: laugh center because it dealt with Representative Jamal Bowman from

976
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 2: New York. Let's throw it up there on the screen

977
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 2: because it's pretty darn funny and put it into context

978
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 2: for people what this had to deal with.

979
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 3: So, Jamal Bowman is a hardcore left wing Democrat from

980
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 3: New York. I don't know the guy at all, but

981
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 3: he's he's on the AOC progressive looney socialist left. And

982
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 3: he came out with a statement and he said we

983
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 3: must stop drilling for oil completely. And in fact his

984
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 3: quote was the United States must quote stop drilling for

985
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 3: fossil fuels completely or Americans will continue to suffer from

986
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 3: severe weather event. These people are not serious. These people

987
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 3: are not real. They're not actually focused on reality, They're

988
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,240
Speaker 3: not focused on details. So I sent a tweet, I said, lunacy.

989
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 3: When he rows a row boat from New York City

990
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 3: to DC and then rides a horse to the Capitol,

991
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 3: he might have some credibility I won't hold my breath. Yeah. Look,

992
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 3: and by the way, the jacket he's wearing in that

993
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 3: picture is made from petroleum products. The buttons on the

994
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 3: jacket are made from petroleum products. His belt is made

995
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 3: from petroleum products. His glasses are made from petroleum products.

996
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 3: His shoes are made for petroleum products. He's literally wearing

997
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:47,359
Speaker 3: oil and gas. When he's done pointing to the socialist

998
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 3: future he wants us to go, he will get into

999
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 3: big suburban and drive to his office. Every week he

1000
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 3: either flies from New York to d C or he

1001
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 3: takes the train from New York to d C, neither

1002
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 3: which will work without oil and gas. The utter hypocrisy

1003
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 3: and the thing about the crazy left, they don't have

1004
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,879
Speaker 3: an answer to that. Look. One of the actually two

1005
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 3: of the proponents of the Green New Deal, which which

1006
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 3: advocates abolishing oil and gas, it advocates abolishing jet fuel,

1007
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 3: are the two senators from Hawaii. They're both two of

1008
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 3: the original sponsors of the Green New Deal. I've pointed

1009
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 3: out I don't know about you, but if you looked

1010
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 3: at a map, yeah, like Hawaii, Uh, you're not driving

1011
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 3: an electric car there? Like? How exactly? Okay, No, airplanes.

1012
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 3: So apparently you're just gonna stay on Hawaii. Okay, you

1013
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 3: want to be a hunter gatherer, you know you could

1014
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 3: go fishing, and but you're not going to d C.

1015
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 3: You don't get to go from one to the other.

1016
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 3: If you would like to go from Hawaii to d C,

1017
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 3: you need jet fuel. If you don't got jet fuel.

1018
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: You ain't getting there.

1019
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 3: You ain't getting there. And these radicals, they don't care.

1020
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 3: This is all about virtue signaling. He might as well

1021
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 3: be pointing saying, go sterilize that child. This is showing

1022
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 3: his his theology, and it's not related to reality or

1023
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 3: anything people are actually living.

1024
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is why I say the Democratic Party is

1025
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 2: dying or dead.

1026
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: It's now socialist communist Marxists. That's what it looks like.

1027
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: H And he's a leader.

1028
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 3: By the way, he wants to take away your guest stove.

1029
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 3: He wants to take away your suburban like an Carlson Hold.

1030
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 2: Didn't the media say that was a myth. No one

1031
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 2: ever really wanted to take it except New York State

1032
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 2: has now done it. New York State has now done it.

1033
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 2: Unless you're really rich.

1034
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the really rich people are grandfathered out because they

1035
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 3: are the party of really rich people. You got to

1036
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 3: understand the rules they want to impose.

1037
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: There are rules.

1038
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,760
Speaker 3: For thee and not for me. They are rules they

1039
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: want to put on the rest of America, but not

1040
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:52,680
