Everybody, thank you for joining us much 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: to get to first up a little roadmap for you. 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: We have Senator rand Paul be joining us this hour, 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: bottom of the hour on the destruction of due process, 6 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: some big COVID news, and some other news of the day. 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: We always enjoy talking to Senator Rand Paul. Doctor Ben 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: Carson second hour. You all know him from well just 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: being amazing. He's the retired neurosurgeon, former HUD secretary under Trump. 10 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: He's got a new book out and is talked about 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: as a possible VP candidate. And I have to say 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say odds on favorite. We'll ask him about it, 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: of course, but Clay, I think fair to say if 14 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: you were the choice, strong choice, and nobody would be 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: chocked or taken aback at it. I mean it would, 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: it would make it. It's I think nothing but upside. 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a total upside choice, no downside for 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: a President Trump's ticket if you were to go with 19 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: doctor Carson. So we'll talk to about that. Also, just 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: such a brilliant and humble man. Brilliant and humble is 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: such a nice commendation. In politics these days, you don't 22 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: get a lot of that. You get a lot of 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: the other You get a lot of dumb and arrogant. 24 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: But doctor Carson brilliant, humble. We'll talk to him in 25 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: just a bit. The fact that the governor of New 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: York and Chuck Schumer, I think now too, right, Well, 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: they both were trying to show us how to grill 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: over the weekend. You see this, they pulled it down. Yeah, 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: operating a grill with stone cold burgers on it. You know, 30 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: it's like, if you're gonna do the photo op, turn 31 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: on the grill, you know, actually, grill, don't go through, 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: don't be a mime standing at the grill. 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: Hokeel and Humor's pretty funny. It goes to my thing, buck, 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: of just be normal. It's amazing how many politicians can't 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: just be normal, like just be a normal person. 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: Of course, but you know, if you ever have to 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: be told just be normal, it's because you have difficulty 38 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: being normal. Right, So that's it's kind it's kind of 39 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: a self fulfilling proposition. But anyway, we will talk about 40 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: some of this. They're thinking about banning masks on the subway. 41 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: And this is deja vou for me. I on safety 42 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: concerns because early on of the pandemic, you know, right 43 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: about when there was a massive increase in all kinds 44 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: of crime, particularly violent crime, across the country. I said, masks. 45 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: You know, whether you're watching an old Western or you're 46 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, everyone knows the guys with the masks on 47 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: are the bad guys, you know, the ones who are 48 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: hiding their faces, And now they're thinking about trying to 49 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: ban them on the subway. We'll talk about that debate. 50 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: I think that is really interesting. And we've got some 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: other things too, like Rubio big column on whether he'll 52 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: be the VP. Clay we'll discuss because we're getting close now. 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: Right now, we're a couple of weeks out from when 54 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: a few weeks whatever, a month out from when Trump 55 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: is going to have to say who the VP is 56 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: going to be. And we'll dive into that. But I 57 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: need to start with this because I have no choice. 58 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: You know, this is my of all the news cycle 59 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: stories we get into, the look at Biden, he's so decrepit, 60 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: you know, because and Clay's gonna give you the counterpoint 61 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: or the you know, the other side of this point 62 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: a bit, but I have to talk about it because 63 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: everyone's talking about it. He was at a star studded 64 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: That's what you have to always say for celebrities. You know, 65 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: some of those celebrities I don't know, haven't done anything 66 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: in a long time. 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 2: There's actually an interesting article that Biden is only able 68 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: to get celebrities over the age of fifty now, which 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 2: again I'm cautiously optimistic that we got some data that 70 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: younger people, and I'm defining younger broadly as under fifty 71 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: are making rational choices in a way that frankly, people 72 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: older than fifty, particularly in the Hollywood celebrity ranks, even aren't. 73 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, the the defensive democracy argument, I had thought it 74 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: would be residenting mostly clay with the purple haired nos 75 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: ring you know, hashtag resistance crowd. It's actually a lot 76 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: of retirees they're saying, I mean, relatively speaking. That's where 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: there's been a shift. There are older people who think 78 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: that Biden is somehow a guardian of democracy versus Trump. 79 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: But but first up, we've got to so I said, 80 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: star studied fundraiser that was the big thing in California. 81 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: There's this there's this fundraiser, and we can't know it's radio, 82 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: so we can't really show you that. We'll put the 83 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: clip up at clayanbuck dot com just for easy access. 84 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: You can go see it there. But Biden had one 85 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: of his you know, looks like he doesn't know where 86 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: he is. And Obama has to come along, as we've 87 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: all done with elderly relatives of our own at different 88 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: parts in our lives. You have sort of guide him 89 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: and make sure he doesn't stumble and fall. And you 90 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: see Biden's legs walking, you know, very mechanically, very slowly 91 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: and unsteadily, and it's just a bad visual. And now 92 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: I open up, I open up all these websites. I'm 93 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: going to hand this to Clay so you can tell 94 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: me what he thinks is going on here. Daily Mail 95 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: Secret Democrat Democrat plot to replace Biden revealed how Clinton, Obama, 96 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: Pelosi and Schumer will topple the aging president and when 97 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 1: they'll do it. I open up the New York Post. 98 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: Top of the New York Post right now. I mean, 99 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: the headline is killing Dems softly. The Obama Biden arm 100 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: grab wasn't just a senior moment. This is Piers Morgan's piece, 101 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: it was when everyone realized the president is not fit 102 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: for office. Clay, I'm sticking with it. I think I agree, 103 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: but I don't think it's going to change anything. It's 104 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of this talk until the debate, 105 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: and then they'll pop them full of whatever they have 106 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: to for the debate, and they'll get through the summer 107 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: telling everybody that he's just got four more years at him. 108 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: Are you feeling more and more confident in your last 109 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: minute palace coup idea? I am? I am? 110 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 2: I mean, And by the way, I think we got 111 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: to talk also about black voters per CNN abandoning Biden 112 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: in big numb here, here's what's going on. 113 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: You see that, by the way, he's going for the 114 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: He's going for two bets there, He's going for steak dinner. 115 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: And on top of this, I'm gonna have to send 116 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: him to the Spa for the weekend or something double 117 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: steak dinner. You might have to buy out and just 118 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like when you're deciding to go 119 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: from a motel to hotel when you're playing monopoly and 120 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: you've got a good run going. 121 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: But I look at this right now, And I've always 122 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 2: thought June twenty seventh, which is next Thursday, was a 123 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 2: super strange date to decide to do a debate. And 124 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: when this date came out, I saw it as an 125 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: extreme sign of weakness, because if you're the incumbent president, 126 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: why in the world. Remember, incumbent presidents typically do pretty 127 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 2: poorly in the very first debate. Think about that historically, 128 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 2: We've talked about it on this program. Mitt Romney wiped 129 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: the floor with Barack Obama in the twenty twelve first 130 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 2: presidential debate. 131 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: At a shocking level, at a level that Democrats were 132 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: basically weeping afterward. 133 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 2: Yes, and then we saw, I thought to be fair, 134 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: Trump was the worst version of himself in the first 135 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: debate in twenty twenty against Biden. And you wonder why 136 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: is that? Typically it's because the president, in some way, 137 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: this president, more so than almost anyone, is coddled inside 138 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: of their own bubble. And when you become the president 139 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: of the United States, a lot of people exist to 140 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: tell you that you're doing an amazing job. And for 141 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: this president, who takes almost no questions for the press, 142 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: who certainly is not, let's be honest, able to aggressively 143 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: consume media on his own. It's not like Biden is 144 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 2: sitting around late at night in the Oval office assessing 145 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: overall perspectives on his performance so far. I think that 146 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: they are setting him up with a prove it or 147 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: go home stole performance here on June twenty seventh. And 148 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: here's my rationale. But let me just lay it out 149 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: for you, Buck. The numbers haven't moved. So they said, hey, look, 150 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: State of the Union, We're going to show how good 151 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: we are. 152 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Numbers didn't move. 153 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: They said, hey, we're going to nail Trump with thirty 154 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 2: four different felony charges. Numbers don't move. That suggests to 155 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: me that most people have made up their mind about 156 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: Trump and Biden and that they aren't going to adjust. 157 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: At some point you recognize that that's the case. And 158 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: what I've said is, I think on June twenty seventh, 159 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: he's going to perform poorly, and even though the standard 160 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 2: is low, I think he's not going to do well enough, 161 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: and then you'll have a long break. It was odd, Buck, 162 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 2: think about this. The timing on it's weird too. If 163 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: you really want to hit the ground running, June twenty 164 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: seventh immediately leads into July fourth weekend, most people you 165 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: and me included, are going to be out with our 166 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: family somewhere friends. You're not going to be sitting around 167 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: debating politics. It's a Thursday, by everybody's going to be 168 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: on the road getting ready for July fourth. So all 169 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: of this is strange. I think he'll do poorly June 170 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: twenty seventh. I think they'll have a major discussion over 171 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 2: the July fourth holiday, and I think sometime in July 172 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: he'll announce that he's freeing his delegates and the real 173 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: battle begins. 174 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: So I will I will indulge further this theory. I think. 175 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think are people all of you 176 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: right now? I think it's maybe fifty to fifty, but 177 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: it might be sixty forty. 178 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 3: You know. 179 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's close. Those who think that it won't 180 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: be buying those who think that it will at this point. 181 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: But I want to indulge this theory for a second. 182 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: And it's also an opportunity for me to throw out 183 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: there that the most respected and consistently accurate polster out 184 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: of des Moines Des Moines Register and Seltzer has right 185 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: now Trump at fifty percent. Joe Biden at thirty two percent. 186 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Now Trump one Iowa twenty sixteen and twenty twenty he 187 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: did not win Iowa by almost twenty points. Everybody, this 188 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: is an absolute shock poll moment because this is not 189 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: a poll. This isn't somebody who's oh, it's a Trump pollster. 190 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: It's not a you know, it's not some weak online 191 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: poll or something on the Drudger poll all the time. 192 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: She's always right. Yes, she's considered the best pollster for 193 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: the state of Iowa. And she is an RFK junior. 194 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: Let me add is at nine percent. So that also 195 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: adds to maybe part of why Biden is so far 196 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: behind right, because he may be losing some considerable support 197 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: in Iowa to RFK Junior. So we can return to 198 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: this poll in a second. I just wanted to lay 199 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: it out though. Is that's a that's a warning sign, 200 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: that's a a an oh my gosh moment. I think 201 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,239 Speaker 1: for Democrats right now, and I don't like to overstate 202 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: their concerns, but Clay, how do they get around the 203 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: issue of And this is what I keep remember. I've 204 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: said along Biden, it'll be Biden or Kamala said Biden 205 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: or or Kamala. The argument or the debate is over 206 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: whether there's some other plan, which the Daily Mail is 207 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: saying now and here's Morgan and everyone's saying, remember, it's 208 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: not just replacing a president. It's replacing a president and 209 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: replacing the person who is in a job to replace 210 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: the president. You know what I'm saying. And that's how 211 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: do you get around the Kamala factor in all of 212 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: this if you're the Democrat party without just causing an 213 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: absolute uproar dissension and look, more RFK junior voters, maybe 214 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: more people that are just saying I'm going third, third party. 215 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: So you only break the glass on the fire extinguisher 216 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: if the fire's really going right. You don't do it 217 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: when you're like, hey, does it smell a little smoky 218 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: in here? You do it because you're gonna lose and 219 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: you've recognized it. So this is a desperate move. I'm 220 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: gonna put out the fire, let me grab it. That's 221 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: what I think is going on here. 222 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: The way you get over it, I think is one 223 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 2: Michelle Obama, which I understand people say she doesn't want 224 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 2: to do it all those things, black woman who's actually 225 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: popular as opposed to a black. 226 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: Women people don't like. 227 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 2: If Michelle Obama doesn't want to need it, doesn't want 228 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 2: the job, then, and by the way, comes in as 229 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: some sort of savior at the Chicago I might mention 230 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: her hometown the base of Barack and Michelle Obama, Chicago, Illinois, 231 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: where this convention is taking place. Then I think you 232 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: go to the full floor and you free every delegate 233 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 2: and if Kamala can get the calculus put together to win, 234 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 2: then she will. But I think Democrats have shown themselves 235 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 2: to be diabolical. If identity politics helps them, they will 236 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 2: argue that no black man or woman in America has 237 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: a chance because Joe Biden will keep them from being 238 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: put in chains by Donald Trump. If identity politics doesn't 239 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: help them, then they will do whatever is necessary to 240 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: grab on to the gears of political power. I think 241 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 2: it will be a desperate ploy. By the way, let 242 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: me say this, buck, I want Biden to be the 243 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: nominee because I think he should have to run on 244 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: the choices that he may and I think Trump will 245 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 2: beat him, and I think that's a conclusion Democrats are 246 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: coming to. So this is not some Hey, I don't 247 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: want Joe Biden to be the nominee, because I think 248 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 2: he is the most beatable. But I think Buck they 249 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 2: will here's my concern. They're diabolical. I think they'll say, 250 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 2: all we got to do is win the Midwest. They 251 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: go get Josh Shapiro, and they go get they go 252 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 2: get Gretchen Whitmer, the governors of Pennsylvania and Michigan, and 253 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 2: they say we're gonna win with our Midwest duo, and 254 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: they kick, and that's how they end up with. And 255 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: they could be either way, Whitmer as the leader or 256 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: Shapiro as the Whitmer. I don't like Newsom, I don't 257 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 2: like Pritzker, I don't like Kamala. I think they're diabolical, 258 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 2: Bernie and and everybody. And they'll get in line. They'll 259 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: get in line and say, you know what, this is 260 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: the best ticket. And you know what, Kamala can run 261 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 2: in twenty eight and prove herself, but this is the 262 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: save Democracy ticket coming out of the Big ten. 263 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: I still don't think it's going to happen, but I 264 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: will say there are people that are banging this drum 265 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: louder than ever right now, so I want to want it. 266 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: At least we're going to continue to air it out 267 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: and look at it, because I mean, what, you can't 268 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: count anything out of politics at this stage of the story, 269 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: right given what we've already seen, the indictments against Trump, 270 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: the criminal conviction, the conviction of Hunter Biden, the looming 271 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court decisions, the looming debate. I mean, there's so 272 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: much here. It is it is definitely going to be 273 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: an interesting political cycle. That much we can know. Oh 274 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: and just Clay, I think it's absolutely the case Democrats. 275 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, they're not counting out the Sunbelt, but 276 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: the Ross Belt states are clearly their paths a peri. 277 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: It's the only way they can do it. And the 278 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: fact that Iowa is at seventy six percent of Iowa 279 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: voters under the age of thirty five disapprove of Biden 280 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: right now. I mean, these are the Iowa numbers, particularly 281 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: because they're from a very reliable polster. I know, you 282 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: can't extract. You know, Michigan is not Iowa, but they're 283 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: close to each other, and there's you know, there's some 284 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: indications there, and you know that this is I think 285 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: a moment where they should be very conservative. Let's come 286 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: let's come back and talk about some of the IOE numbers. 287 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: And also you mentioned young black mail support for Biden 288 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: and for Trump actually is the more interesting component of it. 289 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: We'll get into that here coming up in just a second. 290 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: But we're really pleased to welcome another new sponsor to 291 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: this very fast expanding roster on this radio program.

Put up a 328 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: poll question, Buck, what percentage of this audience right now? 329 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: Now you can share it and see if your audience 330 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: feels differently on social and certainly we can share it 331 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 2: from Clay and Buck two. But right now, three thousand 332 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: of you voted in the first five minutes, sixty percent 333 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: of you say you do not believe Joe Biden will 334 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: be the nominee in twenty twenty four. Now, obviously this 335 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: would be unprecedented, unheard of in many peoples. 336 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: I thought it was about sixty forty, by the way, 337 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: That's what I would have guessed. 338 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: So you may well have nailed the poll results. We'll 339 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 2: see whether those change it all. In the meantime, it's 340 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: hard for us here in the US to comprehend what 341 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: a day in the life of our friends in Israel's 342 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 2: like sound of sirens warning of incoming missile attacks just 343 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: one chilling example. Seeing anti Israel protests around the world 344 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 2: is another. They see parts of the world protesting their 345 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: efforts to rescue Israeli hostages. It's important to remind our 346 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 2: friends and our ally they aren't alone. One of the 347 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 2: many reasons we've partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians 348 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 2: and Jews. That's the IFCJ and organization going the distance 349 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: to show Israelis they're not alone, that people halfway across 350 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 2: the world care about them and their safety. We'd like 351 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: you to join us and stand with the IFCJ, raise 352 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: your voices, show your support this month, asking you to 353 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 2: sign a pledge that'll be shared with the President of Israel. 354 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: To go sign the pledge, go to SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. 355 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: That support IFCJ dot org. Welcome back into clay Enbuck. 356 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: We're joined out by Senator rand Paul Love, Kentucky. Senator 357 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 2: Paul appreciate you making the time for us. 358 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 4: Hey, guys, thanks for having me. 359 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: Let's start with that, if you would tell us about 360 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: the hearing tomorrow up on the Hill and your ongoing 361 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen origins investigation. What's the latest and what are 362 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: you trying to get to next. 363 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 4: This is a big step forward. This is the first 364 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 4: bipartisan full committee hearing on the origins of the virus. 365 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: We'll have four scientists, two scientists who believe the evidence 366 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 4: points towards it come from the lab, and two scientists 367 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 4: who believe the opposite. But interestingly, one of those scientists 368 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 4: is a good friend of Anthony Fauci's, and privately Bob 369 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 4: Gary said, oh my goodness, this is not a conspiracy. 370 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 4: This is real. Everything looks like it came from the lab. 371 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 4: And then in public he wrote a paper four days 372 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 4: later at the behest of Anthony Fauci that concluded, there's 373 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 4: no way it could have come from the lab. If possible, 374 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 4: your nuts if it came from the lab. So he'll 375 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 4: be one of the Democrats scientists testifying. Well, what'll make 376 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 4: it interesting is this first time we've had scientists on 377 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 4: both sides of this issue in a public forum, essentially 378 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 4: debating this issue and with questions from Republicans and Democrats 379 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 4: on it. The big step forward. The Democrats, heretofore, have 380 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 4: refused to have any kind of participation in this. So 381 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 4: this is the first time Democrats haveapatisticated in any hearing, 382 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 4: any bipartisan hearing center. 383 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: Paul I watched the Doctor. First of all, thanks for 384 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 2: coming on. I watched the Doctor Fauci hearing in front 385 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 2: of the House Committee, and what still staggers me is 386 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 2: how committed Democrats are to defending Fauci, even though many 387 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: of the arguments he made frankly from a scientific perspective, 388 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: have now been proven to be bunk, whether it's the 389 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 2: six foot social distancing, whether it's making kids wear masks. 390 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 2: As Buck has pointed out for some time, Fauci, to 391 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: my knowledge, has never said, hey, you know what, you're 392 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 2: going too far when you do X or Y. 393 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: He never did it. Why do you. 394 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 2: Think Democrats are still committed to defending him over pursuing 395 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 2: the truth and are you optimistic that's ever going to change. 396 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 4: I think Democrats by and large are committed to the 397 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 4: idea that the common man is incompetent, that the common 398 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 4: man should not be allowed the freedom to make medical 399 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: and that experts no better than the common man. And 400 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 4: so Anthony Fauci is sort of the extreme representative of 401 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 4: what the Democrats believe, that experts should decide what kind 402 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 4: of health care you should get, and what kind of 403 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: medicines you should take, and whether you should take a vaccine. 404 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 4: And they fear that criticism of him is criticism of 405 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 4: central authority or central planning with regard to healthcare. And 406 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 4: so I think because their commitment is so strong, I 407 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 4: think that's why in the end they defend him, even 408 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 4: though now most of the things he said have been 409 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 4: debunked or been flat out wrong. 410 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: Paul with us nowth Kentucky Senator, do you think that 411 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: the end goal here other than getting to the truth, 412 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 1: do you still have any hope of accountability for what 413 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: was done during COVID and including covering up the origins 414 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: of the virus, the intentional cover up from the health authorities, 415 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: And do you think that there's still room to hope 416 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: that we can get a change in what the policy 417 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: would be going forward, Because I mean, I would just 418 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: sit here and say, in my mind, they would run 419 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: the same playbook again if they could, They wouldn't. They 420 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: might make some adjustments to it, but overall, I think 421 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that the Democrats and the 422 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: Democrat dominated health establishment would go back to from COVID. 423 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 4: So our first hearing will be laying out the evidence 424 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 4: for this COVID virus originating in the Wulan lab. The 425 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 4: second hearing we'll be talking about how we could reform 426 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 4: government's evaluation of gain of function research. They have to 427 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 4: realize that the NIH has steadfast reviews to divulge information, 428 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 4: all of which is not classified, but they will not 429 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 4: give us the deliberations on why they concluded the research 430 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 4: in Wuhan was not gain of function and this was 431 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 4: kind of glossed over in the House arings. Fauci continues 432 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 4: to say, oh, according to the definition of the P 433 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 4: three COO Committee, this Safety Committee, it wasn't gain of function. 434 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 4: But he didn't resent the research to that committee. So 435 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 4: Anthony Fauci did it by himself. Now we know that 436 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 4: they meet at something called dual Use Research of concerned 437 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 4: gain of function meeting. We know that they met on 438 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 4: the Wuhan research to discuss whether it was gain of function, 439 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 4: but they won't give us is the deliberations. If scientists 440 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 4: made an argument on both sides and we want to 441 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 4: reform it, we need to understand what mistakes they need 442 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 4: in their assessment to say that it wasn't dangerous the 443 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 4: research going on in Wuhan. But anyway, we have a 444 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 4: bill that is largely written. We've talked to scientists across 445 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 4: the United Dates about this and got an input. We're 446 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 4: still getting input from scientists on this. We've presented it 447 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 4: to the Democrats. The only chance of passing it, you know, 448 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 4: in this Congress, would be if Democrats in the Senate 449 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 4: would actually actively support it. So that's what the goal 450 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 4: of these hearings are is really mostly to try to 451 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 4: get Democrats on board for reforming gain of function oversight, 452 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 4: and we'll see if we get there. As far as accountability, 453 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 4: you know, Anthony Fauci getting is Justice Iertz and going 454 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 4: to jail. That would require a new administration and a 455 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,199 Speaker 4: new Attorney general to objectively look at that. I do 456 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 4: think he's lied under oath repeatedly. 457 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: We're talking to Senator Ran Paul. 458 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 2: You hit on something that I think is really important, 459 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 2: and it seems as if we were giving American taxpayer 460 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 2: dollars to aid in research in Chinese labs, which I 461 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 2: think a lot of Americans, myself included, say why in 462 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: the world would we be doing that in the first place? 463 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 2: Because Fauci says, oh, I don't know what they were doing. Necessarily, 464 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 2: it's a limited amount of money. But why are they 465 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 2: getting American taxpayer dollars in the first place? Would be 466 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 2: Part one for you Part two, and you've hit on 467 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: this before, but I think it's so important. COVID was 468 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 2: a relatively non lethal virus that was created. There is 469 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: the potential to create an incredibly lethal virus. How afraid, 470 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 2: are you, based on what you have seen about gain 471 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 2: a function research, that the next time we have a 472 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: lab error like this, or we have a virus created 473 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 2: like this that gets out, it could be far more 474 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: deadly and far more dangerous than anything we saw with COVID. 475 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's my biggest worry. Really, if you listen to 476 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 4: Robert Redfield, who's a virologist with a thirty year history 477 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 4: in virology, who is the CDC director under Trump, he'll 478 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 4: tell you that his concern is that there are viruses 479 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 4: out there that have up to fifty percent mortality. COVID 480 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 4: had abou zero point three percent. It's about three times 481 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 4: worse than the flu, which is bad. But you know, 482 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 4: we can sometimes have three hundred thousand people die from 483 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 4: the fluid in our country and we had a million dogs. 484 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 4: And I don't downplay it. That's it was a significant event. 485 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 4: But imagine what it would have been like if it 486 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 4: would have been an overall death rate of five percent 487 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 4: or fifty percent. You're talking about civilization changing events at 488 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 4: that point. You're talking about fourteenth century plague where a 489 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 4: third of Europe died. We're talking about the scourge of 490 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 4: when a third of a city would die when smallpox 491 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 4: came to town. So yeah, we have to be ready 492 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 4: and we have to be prepared the next time this 493 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 4: comes around. It's also why we should continue to talk 494 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 4: about natural immunity. You get a viral pandemic that gets started, 495 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 4: even if you have lightning fast production of a vaccine, 496 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 4: and even if it works, maybe it'll work better the 497 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 4: next time. But even it should work, you're going to 498 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 4: have six months to a year even with a lightning 499 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 4: fast development of a vaccine. What you need to do 500 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,719 Speaker 4: is realize who's at most risk, and then they need 501 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 4: to be protected by people who have recovered from the 502 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 4: from the virus. Because Anthony Falalcy threw out the window 503 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 4: any idea of natural immunity. See, we should have populated 504 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 4: all of the nursing homes with young people who had 505 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 4: already recovered from COVID. You know, I'm not a young 506 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 4: person anymore. But I got COVID in March or two 507 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 4: weeks later. I had my immunity. I volunteered at my 508 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 4: local hospital, and I was useful. I would go into 509 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 4: the station's room and help nurses and orderlies and everybody 510 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 4: else to flip patients over who were on the ventilator 511 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 4: just to be one extra set of hands so someone 512 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 4: else didn't have to risk getting the virus. We should 513 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 4: have done that as a national strategy, but instead Anthony 514 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 4: Vauci continue to him and on too, Oh, we don't 515 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 4: know about it. You still have to wear four masks, 516 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 4: even though you've recovered from it. You got to wear 517 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 4: a mask on a plane instead of any kind of 518 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 4: common sense. He threw it out the window. But he 519 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 4: also threw out the one thing you can do without 520 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 4: a vaccine is to try to have the young people 521 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 4: who have recovered from a disease be the protectors of 522 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 4: the vulnerable. 523 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: Center around Paul, before we let you go out, I 524 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: just wanted to give you a chance to weigh in 525 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 1: on just what's going on with the weaponization of the 526 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: Justice Department in an election year against Donald Trump and 527 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: obviously local prosecution as well in the case of New 528 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 1: York and Atlanta. What this means for due process rights 529 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: and just the rule of law in general, and how 530 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: you think we can start to address what's clearly unjust 531 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 1: from the Justice Department. 532 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 4: You know, I think a lot of people on the left, 533 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 4: they run these endless things on CNN to same one 534 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 4: network about the end of democracy. It's the end of 535 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 4: the world of Donald Trump should win. But I actually 536 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 4: think it's closer and more accurate to say that we 537 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 4: could ruin the foundation of this country if the justice 538 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 4: system escapes from impartiality and becomes a partisan weapon. And 539 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 4: there's no question. If you can find an objective progressive person, 540 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 4: ask them whether or not anybody's ever been prosecuted for 541 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 4: expired bookkeeping crimes about paying off a woman, you know, 542 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 4: I mean, there's no way in the world that's ever 543 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 4: been prosecuted before, and so it's selective prosecution. Ask an 544 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 4: objective lawyer whether or not you can besecutor for something 545 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 4: they don't even inform me the crime of the sixth 546 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 4: Amendment says yet to be notified of the crime, it 547 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 4: was impossible to know. And the judge in the end said, well, 548 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 4: you can convict him of any other secondary crime you 549 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 4: want to, but you have to figure out a secondary crime. 550 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 4: You don't even all have to agree, Well, you have 551 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 4: to know what you've been accused of in order to 552 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 4: defend yourself. So I think that's going to be thrown 553 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 4: out on six Amendment account. But I do worry that 554 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 4: there are people around the country. Everywhere I travel, people 555 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 4: are coming up, they called into your show. These are 556 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 4: people who are truly worried. Can I still participate in America? 557 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 4: Can I give money? Can I go to a rally 558 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 4: without getting on a list, and that all of a 559 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 4: sudden they're going to be investigating my tax status, investigating 560 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 4: my business, and it'll be selective prosecution if it comes 561 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 4: to that, and if the majority people believe that we 562 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 4: are in for I think strife in our country, and 563 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:50,719 Speaker 4: I hope it doesn't come to that. 564 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: Senator round Paul, appreciate you being with us or thanks 565 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: so much? 566 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 4: Thanks as no. 567 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: It has been two years since the overturning of Roe v. 568 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: Weight. 569 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: Supreme Court stepped in and did what should have been 570 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: done decades ago. But unfortunately that hasn't meant that the 571 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: abortion rate has lowered. In fact, on the contrary, it 572 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: increased in twenty twenty three. So what can we do 573 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: in the meantime to save lives. That's where Preborn comes in. 574 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: This is a nonprofit organization that is doing everything it 575 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: can to help women in crisis and help at risk 576 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: babies by providing an alternative to abortion.

In one case, mom had her 584 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: little at this point boy sitting on her knee, and 585 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: it was all because she went into a preborn clinic. 586 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: Lives are saved every day in this way.

Woke up, had a nice cup of 603 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: Crocket coffee, the greatest coffee in America, coffee for people 604 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 2: who love America and American history. You know who I 605 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 2: bet did not have a cup of Crockett coffee. Buck 606 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: are good, buddy, Chuck Schumer, who decided that he was 607 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: going to celebrate Father's Day by bragging about his grilling skills. 608 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 2: He now has had to delete the post you mentioned 609 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 2: it off the top a little bit. 610 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: Schumer, who is the. 611 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: Probably would you say, the most competent democrat in America 612 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 2: in terms of actually holding office and being able to 613 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: wield power. I know that Joe Biden is President of 614 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 2: the United States, but his mental faculties, as we've been 615 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 2: discussing and will continue to discuss this program and beyond, 616 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 2: are certainly in question. I think, Chuck Schumer, if you 617 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 2: were pointing to a Democratic mean, Hakeem Jeffries is not 618 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 2: the speaker. Nancy Pelosi has stepped down. Kamala Harris is 619 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 2: a disaster. I think you'd actually have to kind of 620 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 2: by default come to Schumer and say, of Democrats in 621 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 2: positions of power, he's the most competent. 622 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: Is that a crazy position? Or would you sign on 623 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: to that? I don't. I mean, you know, it's like 624 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: it's like choosing the best way to get your hand 625 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: chopped off like this. 626 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm trying to think, Yeah, I get, you know, 627 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 2: it's it's not an ideal question. But the fact that he, 628 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 2: who I think would suffice on that answer, like who 629 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 2: is the most competent Democrat and leadership position, is so 630 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 2: unable on Father's Day to just have a normal post 631 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: For those of you who didn't see it, he clearly 632 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 2: has no idea how to grow. And I'm not claiming 633 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 2: to be the grill master, but I wouldn't post a 634 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 2: photo of myself bragging about my grilling and having I'm 635 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 2: gonna tell you. 636 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: Some things wrong. And Carrie, she's I think she's actually 637 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: on her way to Costco right now, So Heaven knows, Actually, 638 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: Heaven knows what that bill is going to look like. 639 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: No matter how big the bill is, she's saving me money. 640 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: That's the amazing thing about Costco. She spends five hundred 641 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: bucks at Costco, but she saved me three hundred in 642 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: spending the five hundred. You see, this is the This 643 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: is Costco math for those of us actually on TikTok 644 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: girl math. My wife is an expert in girl math. 645 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: She comes back from a sale and lets me know 646 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 1: that she saved me a bundle of money despite the 647 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: fact that she has spent a ton. That's how girl 648 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: math on Costco on TikTok, I'm told works. So I 649 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,919 Speaker 1: had to dinner. We went out. You know, we don't 650 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: go out that much. I would say, I like staying home. 651 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: I'm really like like I like my wife, ginger pajama pants, 652 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: my ginger tea, no relation to the dog, just I 653 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: like the flavored ginger tea. That's like my ideal night. 654 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: We went out, though, and I'll tell you the problem 655 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: you mentioned, the girl master issue. I just make better 656 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: steaks at home. Now, then you can get at ninety 657 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: percent of places that serve steak, maybe even ninety five percent. 658 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: What is the stake that you make for yourself cost 659 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,360 Speaker 1: versus what you pay out, Like, what is it? I 660 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: don't even know the answer to this, what say cost? Yeah, yeah, 661 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: I mean we have two butchers we go down here. 662 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: I'd say, if you're getting a good cut of meat, 663 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: you can do it for whatever the steakhouse price is. 664 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: If it's a particularly prized piece of meat, you're probably 665 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: paying about a third of what the cost actually is. 666 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: And and you know, but pretty safe territory, it's half. 667 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: It's like half the price. I mean, if a steak 668 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 1: at your local restaurant, you know, your local steakhouse cost 669 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: you fifty bucks, you should be able to do it 670 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: for like twenty at home. You know, I think that's 671 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: a pretty fair so, you know, because look, they got 672 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: to pay for the labor and the restaurant and everything else. 673 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: But you know, you're you're definitely way down the scale. 674 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: But once you get good at making your own steaks 675 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: at home, man, I'm telling you, it's tough. It's tough 676 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: out there because I think, and I know I'm trying 677 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: to it's like I'm tying it all into inflation everything else. 678 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: I think places are cutting back on the quality of 679 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: the meat. They're buying. I think people are cutting corners 680 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: in places. Now. We were at a very nice restaurant 681 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: and meat was tough. It was tough steak and it 682 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: should not have been. And I've had this in a 683 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: number of places. Now. You know, the thing you really 684 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: don't want with steak is too fatty or too chewy. 685 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else is noticing this. I'm 686 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: finding more and more restaurants I go to. I think 687 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: they're skimping on the meat. And that's why I like 688 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: making the meat at home. 689 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean wouldn't shock me at all because the 690 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 2: cost for so many of these restaurants has skyrocket and 691 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 2: I have to imagine what how many people can afford it? Well, 692 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 2: look at when you talk about what a cost to 693 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 2: serve your you have your family Chick fil A, right, 694 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 2: Chick fil A? Those places they serve exactly the same 695 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 2: product at exactly the same level. 696 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: So it's a really good indicator of inflation. You go 697 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: into a restaurant, they're saying, oh, we're giving you a 698 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: New York strip? 699 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 2: Is it? 700 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 1: Choice? Is it? You know? Where are we at grade 701 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: A or are we dry age? And you add all 702 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: these things in I'm telling you there should be like 703 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 1: a steak inflation counter out there, because I'm the steaks 704 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: are not as good. They're lowering the steaks, you could say, 705 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: speaking of steaks, Buck Sexton maybe having to pay me 706 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: two high end steaks. I'm gonna make sure we go 707 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: to the right place the data on black voters and 708 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: Biden and Iowa. We'll talk about it next week.
