1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: We are going to hopefully send all of you into

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: the weekend filled with fire, vigor, brimstone, and happiness.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: That's a lot of different.

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 2: A lot of different emotions to try to bring the task,

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: but we will do that today. We appreciate all of

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: you hanging out with us. A bunch of stuff to

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: get into. We've got Robert Menendez charged with felony bribery.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna lay out some of those details.

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: And make a connection between what Menendez's wife was alleged

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: to have been doing alongside of what Hunter Biden was

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: doing for the Biden crime family, and talk about those aspects.

15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: John Fetterman tears up and cries as he discusses the

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: fact that he has difficulty processing information, speaking auditory issues.

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: That's kind of a big reason why he doesn't belong

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: in the United States Senate.

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: We will just.

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: Discuss also the debates as we get ready for Wednesday

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: debates and begin to discuss them. Gavin Newsom is going

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: to be involved. He's going to be physically present What

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: in the world is going on here? It's just a

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: weird sort of lurking aspect of this primary season. What

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: is California's governor doing? All of that and more, But

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: we begin with the news of Robert Menendez, who is

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate,

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: charged yet again with felonies. He beat the prior felony charges,

29
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I believe back in twenty ten when a hung jury

30
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 2: refused to convict him Democrat senator from New Jersey. Here

31
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: is Bill Hemmer Dana Perino announcing those charges.

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: The US Attorney for the Southern District out on New

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: York except to announce the unsealing of an indictment and

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: the charging of US Senator Robert Menendez, the senior yet

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: senator from the state of New Jersey, and his wife Nadine,

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: with bribery offenses in connection with their corrup relationship. They

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: say of three businessmen out of New Jersey.

38
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 4: Six years ago he had similar charges that were basically

39
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 4: it resulted in a hung journey, so dis charges were

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: dismissed at that time. In twenty eighteen, they said that

41
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: that's when this one case ended. But in the indictment

42
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: today they say this new corrupt relationship began around twenty eighteen,

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 4: so that would have been the same.

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: Year the cocky This year, Buck, if you beat felony

45
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: charges as he's sitting United States senator and you nearly

46
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: narrowly avoided going to prison, most people would say, Hey,

47
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: maybe I dial it back. Here's a couple of the details.

48
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: There are photos out there. He was evidently paid in

49
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: bricks of gold, which is which that's how I prefer.

50
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: To be paid.

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 5: Just to be clear, if anyone you know, is anybody

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 5: out there wants to bribe you.

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: And here I'm reading from the indictment, and again these

54
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: are allegations over four hundred and eighty thousand dollars in cash,

55
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing closets,

56
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: and a safe was discovered in the home along with

57
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: seventy thousand dollars in a safe deposit box. Some of

58
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: the envelopes contain the fingerprints and or DNA of these

59
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: individuals who are accused, alongside as code defendants of basically

60
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: a large bribery scheme that involved providing favors in particular

61
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: to Egypt. Buck, what is your reaction when you see

62
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: these charges come out on Menendez, who, it should be

63
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: again reinforced, is a sitting United States Senator of the

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: member of the Democrat Party who says that he will

65
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: not resign, he will stay in office.

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Your thoughts the.

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 5: Recklessness of continuing to do anything even vaguely shady as

68
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: a senator who has been indicted a Democrat senator.

69
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Mind you, you know, so there's a.

70
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: Special threshold here, right, This isn't this isn't a Ted

71
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 5: Stevens situation for those who remember what happened there where

72
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: they went after him for not, you know, reporting fully

73
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 5: repairs done on his home or something. And they didn't

74
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: hit right, That's what I was going to say. It

75
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 5: hit exculpatory evidence. They knew that he actually thought he

76
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: wasn't doing anything wrong, and they didn't care, and they

77
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 5: tried to get him anyway, and then they lost it.

78
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 5: Republicans lost a Senate seat. That Senate seat was then

79
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 5: part of what was necessary to get all of Obamacare

80
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: through anyway. Clay, It's uh, it's quite a thing to

81
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 5: watch because a Democrat is going to have a higher

82
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 5: threshold of guilt. I'm sorry, I just think that that's true.

83
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: To get indicted in the first place, to come along

84
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 5: with a second indictment is a quite a show of

85
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 5: brazen this year and the fact that he's accused of giving.

86
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 5: You know, here's what ends up happening in these cases.

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 5: Because I follow the Bob McDonald case very closely. Not

88
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 5: a lot of people did, but I found that fascinating

89
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 5: and I ended up being right, even a lot of conservatives.

90
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 5: This is like over a decade ago, but they were

91
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 5: people were arguing with me, and I was saying, guys, yes,

92
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 5: it's gross that his wife accepted a rolex or something

93
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: from someone kind of when he was a governor. But

94
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: he didn't do anything right. He didn't promise anything, and

95
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 5: he didn't do anything. So yeah, should he probably not

96
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 5: accept those gifts or at least list those gifts so

97
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 5: it's public knowledge or whatever. Sure, but to go after

98
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 5: him for honest services fraud, which they are going after

99
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 5: Menendez for here, there has to be a fraud, right.

100
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 5: It can't just be because now you get into and

101
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 5: this is what Scalia said in the nine to oh

102
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: slapdown as a nine to oh slapdown of those charges.

103
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 5: You know, if someone gives you a good restaurant at

104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 5: a table because you're the governors that are you violating

105
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 5: the law? I mean there has to be more than so.

106
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 5: Now in this case with Menendez, based on the allegations

107
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 5: unproven yet in court, and presumption of innocence does still matter.

108
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 5: I feel like we're often losing that these days in society.

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 5: But Clay, when they're giving you gold bricks and envelopes

110
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 5: of money and you're passing along sensitive information to you know,

111
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 5: allegedly to the government of Egypt to help the government

112
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: of Egypt with things they're not supposed to know, and

113
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 5: when you're promising to do favors, if that is not

114
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: corruption and bribery. Nothing is corruption in bribery. So if

115
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 5: these things are true, he's in a lot of trouble.

116
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what I would also point out, I think

117
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: I think it is worth drawing an analogy here. The

118
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: FBI and the Department of Justice rated Menendez's homes. They

119
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: were able to find these envelopes of cash, these gold bars.

120
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: They put together this incredible conspiracy case that they have

121
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: now brought out. Again, these are allegations. I think it's

122
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: worth asking, Okay, why did none of this happen with

123
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden and Joe Biden right, because effectively, what it

124
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 2: appears Menendez was doing was using his wife as the

125
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: locusts to be receiving payment for his actions. That's what

126
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: the Biden crime family did with Hunter. And if you

127
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: go in and actually look at the under oath testimony

128
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: that has been made so far, the IRS agents said

129
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: that Hunter Biden was being tipped off and that they

130
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: weren't allowed to actually conduct raids on his property to

131
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: be able to uncover more evidence of his criminal culpability.

132
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: To my knowledge, Buck, there has never been any raid

133
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: of any of Joe Biden's properties. Now, they went and

134
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: searched after the classified documents were found, But.

135
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: This is in Menendez.

136
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: They basically are just crushing him for what appears to

137
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: be very similar behavior between his wife and Hunter Biden's activities.

138
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 5: I mean, you imagine if the FBI did a full

139
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 5: on rate of a back in the day of Hunter

140
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 5: Biden stuff.

141
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh what they would have found. What they would have

142
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: found would have been.

143
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: I mean, the only reason we know this stuff is

144
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: because he actually just handed his laptop over and then

145
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: refused to pay for it when he was asked to

146
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: pay for it.

147
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean likened in.

148
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 5: You know at some at some point, you know, I,

149
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 5: I like, there's the Jordan Peterson thing that I've makes

150
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 5: the rounds on the internet where he says, no one

151
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 5: really gets away with anything, meaning okay, maybe you get

152
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 5: away with it in some context, but eventually, and you know,

153
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: Hunter's gone through his life protected because of who his

154
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 5: dad is, and so he hasn't really had to exercise

155
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 5: judgment and develop the skills of a person that and

156
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 5: you know, deal with the consequences, which a big part

157
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 5: of judgment is consequence, right, A big broad of judgment

158
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 5: is learning. You know, I touched that stove, I burned

159
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 5: my hand. I'm not going to do that again. And

160
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: I think Hunter Biden in the sense is is kind

161
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 5: of a political brat. And you see that in the

162
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 5: way that this has all gone down on the on

163
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 5: the Menendez thing. They'll bring it back to that for

164
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 5: a second. He had the hung jury before. Interestingly, he

165
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 5: was tied to this guy Melgan, remember this, who was

166
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 5: a doctor, an eye doctor here in Florida, and he

167
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 5: went away for I think he got seventeen years for

168
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: Medicare fraud, and Trump at the very end commuted him

169
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 5: commuted his sentence, so he was going to serve seventeen

170
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: years and Donald Trump, a Democrat supporting a Democrat there

171
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 5: with Menendez. Trump came along and thought that that was

172
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 5: too harsh or whatever and commuted it. But Melgan has

173
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 5: been on the radar of the Feds this whole time.

174
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 5: So for me, this is kind of like, you know,

175
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 5: maybe because I'm watching the Sopranos. Have you ever watched the Sopranos? Oh,

176
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 5: I love it, this great show. I'm actually in the

177
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 5: midst of the Sopranos right now. To me, this is

178
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: a little bit like if Tony Soprano finds out when

179
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 5: he finds out that the Feds are on him, they

180
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 5: try to like, you know, bring the heat down or whatever.

181
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 5: It's like Menendez found out the fair I mean, they

182
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 5: indicted him, and he was like, yeah, business as usual,

183
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 5: let's go right back to the well on this one,

184
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: which it feels like it's almost a compulsion at that point,

185
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 5: like something is wrong with this guy.

186
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?

187
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 5: You're the chair of the Cenate Foreign Relations Committee, You're

188
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 5: a high profile guy.

189
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean I think it's probably just a

190
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: belief that the rules don't apply to him, because if

191
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: you already beat the charges, once you think that you

192
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 2: have the power, the cachet, the panache to be able

193
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: to continue this behavior.

194
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 5: But again, this is this kind of comes Yeah, yeah,

195
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 5: I just want I don't want to interpret a thought.

196
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 5: Just one thing I'm already thinking about is his best

197
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 5: maneuvering right now instead of yeah, they'll be legal maneuvering,

198
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: But his best defense is going to be making sure

199
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 5: that Joe Biden is prepared to pardon him at the end.

200
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 5: Like whatever political maneuvering he can do is going to

201
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 5: be to make sure that he's lined up for a part.

202
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 5: What does he have on Joe? You know, this is

203
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 5: where that stuff. This is where the old Potomac two

204
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 5: step makes a big difference.

205
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: I also, when I saw these charges, Buck couldn't help

206
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: but think New Jersey almost elected a Republican governor. What

207
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: did it come down to, like twenty thousand votes or

208
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 2: something like that. Yeah, in twenty twenty one would have

209
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: been a huge upset and they would never have brought

210
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: these charges on an Endez if there were a Republican governor.

211
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: Was that was one of my first thoughts.

212
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 2: So Menendez doesn't have the protection partly because if they

213
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: have to replace him, they'll just throw another Democrat in.

214
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: And so you know, in a fifty one to forty

215
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: nine Senate, if there were a Republican governor, I don't

216
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: think they would have ever charged him because then the

217
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: Republican governor could appoint a Republican And you're talking about

218
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: the control of the United States Senate truly being at

219
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: an even tally where suddenly Kamala Harris has to continue

220
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: to break the tie on any kind of issues. Now,

221
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: I don't think really the Senate's going to be able

222
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: to pass anything over the next year and a half

223
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: until we go through the twenty twenty four election. But

224
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: I do think this this raises the biggest issue. And

225
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: I know we've talked about this some, but I think

226
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: we need to keep hammering at home so much. Prosecutorial

227
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: decision making is everything when it comes to who gets

228
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: charged and what they get charged for, and we don't

229
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 2: talk enough about that, I think as a collective media,

230
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: because I think a lot of people don't really understand

231
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: the process of investigations. But fuck you, me and every

232
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: person out there listening to us right now could be

233
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: charged with a crime.

234
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: Even if you think.

235
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,479
Speaker 2: You are the cleanest, almost honest living person on the planet,

236
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: if the full might of the federal government decided to

237
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: investigate every tax return you've ever filed, decided to look into.

238
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: Every maneuver that you've ever made in your.

239
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: Life, they would find something that you have done that

240
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 2: is improper. So when you don't go after egregious wrongdoing

241
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: like Hunter, Biden and Buck we talked a little bit

242
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: off the year about the quid pro quo to me

243
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 2: when there's a WhatsApp message saying to a Chinese foreign entity,

244
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: if you don't do give me this money right now,

245
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: then my dad and the entire Biden family will ensure

246
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: that you regret it for every day, basically, I'm paraphrasing

247
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: the rest of your life. That's pretty quote close to

248
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,359
Speaker 2: a quid pro quo. And Berezma getting into the prosecutor

249
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: fired that they didn't like is pretty close to a

250
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 2: quit pro quote. The evidence against Joe Biden seems to me,

251
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: having read the indictment of Menendez, every bit as consequential

252
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 2: as the evidence against Menendez. When you think about the

253
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 2: millions of dollars, the payments, the fact that it was

254
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: wired very shadily through all the I.

255
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 5: Mean, okay, hold on, we didn't I got a back

256
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 5: that up a little bit. We didn't find four hundred

257
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 5: thousand dollars in cash stashed in envelopes. That's clearly not

258
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 5: being declared.

259
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: I might add, but Hunter got millions of dollars in cash.

260
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: We don't know how he got it all and didn't

261
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 2: declare it or pay it. The Hunter stuff, yeah, I'm

262
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: talking about for Joe Biden. Oh well, but the difference

263
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: is because it's the wife, right, Like the wife is

264
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: being connected directly. I'm saying Hunter was doing it. Maybe

265
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 2: it was smarter because Joe Biden's not the fall girl here,

266
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: but Hunter was doing effectively what the wife.

267
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Of Menendez was doing. In my opinion, it's.

268
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: A shame too, because Joe Biden's a doctor, so clearly

269
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: she knows better. That's a doctor would never engage in behavior,

270
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: never makes such mistakes. By the way, speaking of mistakes,

271
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: fifty percent decline in testosterone overall failure. I'm sure you

272
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: saw Joe Biden can't even figure out how to get

273
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: off the stage forgot to shake the hands of the

274
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: Brazilian leader. This guy needs testoster even a lot more

275
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: than testosterone. But I don't know that we've ever had

276
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: a white house with a lower amount of testosterone in it.

277
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: We're down fifty percent compared to what your grandfather's great

278
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: grandfathers had.

279
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: Not good.

280
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,960

00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, the.

298
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 5: Hundreds of residents of Memphis, Texas. Play have been reaching

299
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 5: out to let us know there is indeed a Memphis, Texas,

300
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: although that caller was from Memphis, Tennessee. But I learned

301
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 5: something new about geography of the lone Star state today.

302
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 5: So there you go. Even as a New Yorker, do

303
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 5: you feel like there are towns? Do you know every

304
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 5: town in Nashville? I know most towns in New York,

305
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: but I couldn't say that I know every town in

306
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 5: New York State. I bet there are a few that

307
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: would slip past me.

308
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: I think I know most of the Nashville area, but

309
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: I mean there are I mean.

310
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 5: Statewide, I mean the whole long state of Tennessee. Are

311
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 5: there any towns that they could still pass one hundred percent?

312
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: Places that I wouldn't know exist? Yeah, me too.

313
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 5: Sometimes sometimes even happens in our callers. I'll say they're

314
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 5: from somewhere in New York. I'm like, where is that

315
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 5: in New York? So learning is one of the fun

316
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 5: things about this show. One thing that democrats will not learn,

317
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: and that is what we call a smooth transition, is

318
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 5: what to do about crime and violence and how to

319
00:16:53,920 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 5: improve the situation on America's streets. Kamala Harris, who I

320
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: want to remind everybody cause I think this has been

321
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 5: kind of forgotten. I think this has been left by

322
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 5: the wayside. She was at one point the borders are.

323
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: The borders are. Do you remember that, everybody, Kamala Harris,

324
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 5: borders are. And then there was that hole, Oh, we've

325
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: been to the border, she said in the interview, to

326
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 5: which I believe it was less her whole the interview

327
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 5: had to say, no, you have it.

328
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: So by by been to the border.

329
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 5: You mean actually not not to the border. Kamala did

330
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 5: not do herself any favors in that period of time,

331
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 5: and she was the borders are. But now she is

332
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 5: another czar of sorts clay. She has announced that she

333
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 5: will oversee the first ever White House Office of Gun

334
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 5: Violence Prevention.

335
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: Play two.

336
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 6: I have some big news to share. We are announcing

337
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 6: the creation of the first ever US Office of Gun

338
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 6: Violence Prevention. And we are doing this work in large

339
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 6: part because of the activism, the organizing, the marching, the

340
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 6: voting of all of you leaders, big students, parents, teachers,

341
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 6: community leaders who understand that living free from gun violence

342
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 6: should be a right. So we're going to work on

343
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 6: us together We're going to continue to fight for reasonable

344
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 6: gun safety laws and for the ability of all people

345
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 6: to live their best lives, free from fear, free from violence.

346
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 5: Now that's on the delusional side of the equation as

347
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 5: to what to do about this, Clay, A hat tip

348
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 5: to you for putting this on my radar, this Wall

349
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: Street Journal opinion piece, Mayor Eric Johnson of Dallas, America's

350
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 5: cities need Republicans, and I'm becoming one. While Dallas has thrived, elsewhere,

351
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 5: democratic policies have exacerbated crime and homelessness. So here is

352
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 5: a mayor who is saying that he is changing party

353
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 5: affiliation because to be a Republican mayor in this day

354
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: and age is to be one who cares about the safety, security,

355
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 5: and the law and order of his city. To be

356
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 5: a Democrat is to be on board for the destruction

357
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 5: of those things.

358
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: Well, it's crazy to have a policy on gun violence

359
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: and not the number one policy on gun violence be

360
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: if you use a gun violently, you should go to

361
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: jail for the longest possible sentence. Imaginable, right, I mean,

362
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 2: it is laughably absurd to say that you care about

363
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: gun violence and focus on the guns and not the

364
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: people who are perpetrating the crimes with the guns. Because

365
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: what Democrats would do is and what they are doing

366
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: all over the country is allow people who engage in

367
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: violent behavior with weapons to get back out on the

368
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: street faster, to be able to continue to engage in

369
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: violent behavior with weapons. So Kamala Harris, I mean, every

370
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: single time she speaks, it feels to me like she's

371
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: talking to a room full of kindergarteners in her speech

372
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 2: patterns and the way that she just naturally communicates. But

373
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 2: this would be the first question that anyone with a

374
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: functional brain should ask. Okay, you have this new gun violence,

375
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: what would you even call it? Like working group, whatever

376
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 2: the focus, whatever, however you want to define it.

377
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: How are you going to allow crimes.

378
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 2: Of violence to go without significant punishment when they involve guns?

379
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: And the answer is they don't have one.

380
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: And I give credit to Eric Johnson I think is

381
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: his name in Dallas, who is basically saying Democrat policies

382
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: are broken. And the one thing, particularly as they pertain

383
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: the cities, the one thing I will say that the

384
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: Biden administration has done is it's removed the Donald Trump argument.

385
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: Because if you're living in New York City right now,

386
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 2: or you're living in San Francisco, or you're living in Washington,

387
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: DC or Chicago. These cities effectively do not have opposition parties.

388
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: And when you do not have an opposition party, every

389
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: decision that's being made is being made by a Democrat

390
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: based policy decision maker, and all of them are disastrous.

391
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: I mean, is there anyone listening to us right now

392
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: who lives in Chicago, who lives in San Francisco, who

393
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: lives in New York City, who lives in Washington, d C.

394
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: Atlanta?

395
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean cities all over the country where you say, hey,

396
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: you know what things are going really well here? Sometimes

397
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: cities are somewhat protected by having red state governor or

398
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: red state government.

399
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. I'm here in Nashville.

400
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 2: We have typically Democrat mayors, and by and large they've

401
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,239
Speaker 2: been fairly moderate, although I don't know whether that's going

402
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: to continue to be the case. But you have a

403
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 2: red state that governs those places. So you have that

404
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: interplay between red and blue, which at least provides some

405
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: sort of opposition party aspect in these places, the places

406
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: that are blue throughout. It seems to me Buck Chicago's

407
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: in Illinois entirely blue state. New York City obviously in

408
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: New York entirely blue state. DC is not a state,

409
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: but the entire government is all run by Democrats. Same

410
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: thing San Francisco. Everything falls apart. And I wonder the

411
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 2: cognitive dissonance that that predict that that that that presages,

412
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: that that creates is you have to acknowledge. Wait a minute,

413
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 2: everything that I want to support is creating the disastrous

414
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 2: situation that I find myself in. And I wonder how

415
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: many people are slowly having sort of the red pill

416
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 2: moment where they say, maybe Democrat policies actually don't make sense.

417
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: It's not that what Democrats do on crime and their

418
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 5: approach to crime is suboptimal.

419
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 1: It's that it is the opposite of what would be helpful.

420
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 5: And what would be helpful is to back and support

421
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 5: law enforcement who are faithfully, you know, executing their role,

422
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 5: to have prosecutors who will make the you know, make

423
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 5: the distinction between somebody who, yeah, people make mistake, people

424
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 5: should get a second chance. And then there are people

425
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 5: that are carjacking, you know, mothers with their children in

426
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 5: front of them in broad daylight and pistol whipping the

427
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 5: mom and you know you got to go to prison, Okay,

428
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 5: I mean you know you've got to actually lock people

429
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 5: up who are a menace, who are violent, who are unrepentant,

430
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 5: and who are a danger to society. And you know

431
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 5: what you see in so many of these cities. And

432
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 5: this is why the whole gun violence thing.

433
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: All they use.

434
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 5: They use the emotional issue. This is what democrats do.

435
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 5: They use the emotional issue of gun violence to push

436
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 5: for firearms restrictions that will do nothing other than antagonize

437
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 5: lawful Second Amendment, you know, exercising Americans.

438
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Like the whole point is, oh, we have to limit your.

439
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 5: Ar magazine, or oh we have to get rid of

440
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 5: your your your bump stock or whatever. And then you

441
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 5: go into cities claim what do you see all these

442
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 5: soros prosecutors decline in huge numbers. And this is particularly

443
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 5: true in Philadelphia, where I think Krasn of the DA

444
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 5: there was declining at one point like fifty percent of

445
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 5: repeat offenders who had an illegal handgun on them because

446
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: they don't they you know, they think the demographics of

447
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 5: who's being arrested with illegal handguns in Philly and other

448
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 5: cities as well is a social justice problem. Yeah, and

449
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 5: so they won't actually prosecute that's what happens.

450
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: Well, they've convinced a lot of white Democrats that it's

451
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: racist to try to put criminals behind bars because too

452
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 2: often the criminals are black. And so this whole concept,

453
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: and I keep hammering it, but I think it's important.

454
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 2: Being concerned that you're too mean to criminals is a

455
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: legacy of a low crime environment. If you have super

456
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: low crime, then you can say, Okay, maybe we're putting

457
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 2: too many people in jail. But what becomes a cycle

458
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: is you let to people out of jail. Crime goes

459
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 2: back up, and people say, hey, why do we let

460
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: the criminals out of jail in the first place. And honestly,

461
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: the Soros entire concept, I don't even really understand it.

462
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 5: It feels like it's meant to destabilize and undermine society

463
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 5: honestly because they're you know, it's rooted I guess in

464
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 5: some really pathological guilt complex, and maybe a white guilt complex.

465
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 5: That's where Soros gets this from. But I mean to

466
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: look at the numbers. Clay, a city like Washington, d C.

467
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 5: One you and I have both been residents of and know, well,

468
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 5: in Washington, d C. You have about six hundred thousand residents.

469
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 5: I think close to half the city is black. I

470
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 5: think that's right, three hundred thousand. And you have a

471
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 5: prison population. The DC prison at any point time is

472
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 5: about twelve hundred people. Well, you could double the size

473
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 5: of that prison population, right, You could have two thousand

474
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 5: people in prison and make the whole city a lot safer,

475
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 5: including for the three hundred thousand African Americans who live

476
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 5: in DC who are committing no crimes and just want

477
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 5: to live their lives and saved you like everybody else.

478
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 5: But the Soros point of view is it's a problem

479
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 5: because of the percentages of who is incarcerated in DC,

480
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 5: because of the numbers it's by. The DC prison system

481
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 5: is ninety to ninety three percent African American on any

482
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 5: given day.

483
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: And what it is, Buck, is white guilt becomes at

484
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: tax on black lives. So if you want to talk

485
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: about white supremacy, probably the single most destructive thing that

486
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: white people are doing in America today is not protecting

487
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: black people in inner cities because they've decided that it's racist.

488
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, you look at the data, Buck, what many

489
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: of black people want in inner city neighborhoods more police.

490
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: That's what they're begging for.

491
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 2: So you have white people who want to get on

492
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: social media and talk about how much of how much

493
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: of you know, social justice warriors they are, and they

494
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 2: end up creating situations that are worse than.

495
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: If they had done nothing at all.

496
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I grew up in Manhattan, so this is

497
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 5: going to be unsurprising. I knew people who, during the

498
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: early stage of BLM lived in almost entirely white suburbs

499
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: of the country, you know, ninety percent, or you know

500
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 5: a place in the country where there's effectively zero diversity,

501
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 5: almost no diversity at all, in multimillion dollar homes who

502
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: were on social media loudly advocating for the dissolution of

503
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 5: police forces, and places like Minneapolis. And I mean that

504
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 5: is the contemporary liberal today. When you actually go into

505
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 5: black communities, whether it's in Baltimore or you know, DC

506
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 5: or New York or wherever, and you just walk around

507
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 5: and you speak to them, people have done this. They say, no,

508
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 5: we want more police, we want more security on the streets.

509
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: We had more law and order because that's what everybody wants.

510
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 5: Yes, And yet there's this disconnect, the Soros mindset, this disconnect.

511
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: I mean, look at Minneapolis, use it as an example

512
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: where George Floyd died.

513
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: Almost to a person. I bet if you.

514
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: Ask anybody who's living in inner city Minneapolis, is your

515
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 2: life better or worse than it was before May of

516
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, when Black Lives Matter took up arms and

517
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: decided that we needed to fundamentally change the way that

518
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 2: we police in America. By almost every statistical measure, in Minneapolis,

519
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: things are worse. They have half as many cops I

520
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 2: think is the current data. The murder rate has more

521
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: than doubled than what it was before George Floyd, crimes

522
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: of violence have skyrocketed, and everything is worse BLM. If

523
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: you look at the data, the more active BLM is

524
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: in a city, the more Black people who die because

525
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: they are advocating for policies that actually, unbelievably, really, when

526
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: you consider the name of the organization as Black Lives Matter,

527
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: actually lead to the death of more black people. I mean,

528
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: that is unambiguously true based on the data.

529
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 5: If you told me, if I were the mayor of

530
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 5: DC and you told me that, and I looked up

531
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 5: those numbers of other day. That's why I know them

532
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 5: said that the prison system on any given day is

533
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 5: it's like ninety seven percent mail, which.

534
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: We always talk about, of course, because.

535
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know who does the violence, guys, it's just reality,

536
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 5: no one to do.

537
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: The police are sexist, no one. That argument has never made.

538
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: Men are being discriminated against. Nobody ever argues it.

539
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 5: But if you told me that you had to expand, uh,

540
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 5: you know, the the DC prison population by I don't know,

541
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 5: thirty or forty percent. So let's say you take it

542
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 5: from roughly one thousand to thirteen hundred or fourteen hundred.

543
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: But it would save fifty.

544
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 5: Lives and take you know, a you know, maybe a

545
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 5: thousand felonies, serious felonies off the streets of DC for

546
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 5: the next year. I think that's a reasonable calculation to

547
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 5: make one hundred. I think that's a reasonable calculation. The

548
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 5: problem is Democrats do not. That's mass incarceration, that systemic racism.

549
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 5: And this is why these things don't get better. Eight

550
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 5: hundred two two two eight to two. If you're in Dallas,

551
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 5: by the way, you want to speak to us about

552
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 5: the situation, I don't. We don't have a station in

553
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 5: Dallas one of the very few parts of the country

554
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 5: we actually aren't on. But if you're in the Dallas

555

Speaker 2: many of you are listening all over the country. And

594
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 2: we are joined now by Congressman Mark Green, who represents

595
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: the seventh District of the State of Tennessee in the

596
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: House of Representatives. He's the chairman of the Committee on

597
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: Homeland Security. He also is my congressman. I didn't even

598
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 2: know exactly what district I was going to be in

599
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: because they redistricted in the state of Tennessee, and my

600
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: neighborhood is actually one congressman or the other congressman's by street.

601
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: So thank you for all the.

602
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 2: Work you're doing. Congressman, thank you for repping me and

603
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: my family. And before we even get into the work

604
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: that you're doing here, I know you're in the House,

605
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: but when you saw that the Senate changed their clothing

606
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: rules to allow John Fetterman to preside in shorts and

607
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: basically a T shirt, what was your reaction.

608
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 7: I think it's a joke, Clay, And first, thanks for

609
00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 7: having me on. I really appreciate being on this sh

610
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 7: and I've got the best bosses in the world in

611
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 7: the seventh District of Tennessee, you being one of them.

612
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 7: This whole thing is a joke. I mean, imagine if

613
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 7: he were to go and meet a foreign dignitary or

614
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 7: it's so disrespectful. I can't really words. I'm speechless over it.

615
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 7: But it's just an accommodation for this guy, that's all

616
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 7: it is. And I honestly we should be more concerned

617
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 7: that he can't form a full sentence.

618
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 8: But you know, the clothing thing is laughable.

619
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 5: Congson Green, it's buck. Thanks for being here with us.

620
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 5: I know you're chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security,

621
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 5: so you are very much in the loop and up

622
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 5: to speed.

623
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: On what's going on at our southern border.

624
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 5: As people see these numbers, and really, I think a

625
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 5: lot of the videos the photos brings it home. Just

626
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 5: an endless stream masses and masses of people coming across

627
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 5: that border, ten thousand a day now, kind of numbers

628
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 5: that are near the all time highs. What's going on?

629
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean, who.

630
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 5: Isn't getting across right now? Is what I always want

631
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 5: to know. I mean, you see the processing, you see

632
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 5: what's going on. How is this not an open border?

633
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 7: Oh, it is a complete open border. It's intentional from

634
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 7: Mayericus and Biden. This is what they want. They want

635
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 7: to fundamentally change the nature of our country and basically

636
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 7: empower democrats into perpetuity. That's their goal, and they're willing

637
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 7: to accept, you know, rapist criminals, human traffickers, drug traffickers

638
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 7: coming into the country and potentially you know, I mean

639
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 7: eighteen thousand Chinese nationals, many in the age of the military,

640
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 7: with former associations with the military, just being released into

641
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 7: the country. It's insane and it has to be intentional.

642
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 2: Congressman, I saw a study, and I'm curious if this

643
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 2: would comport with the numbers than the data that you've seen.

644
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: We don't talk a lot about who's making money off

645
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 2: of getting these individuals illegally into our country. And by

646
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 2: the way, it's the Mexican cartels. I saw that they

647
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: are going to make this year more money. I think

648
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 2: the number was thirteen billion dollars. The estimate that I

649
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 2: saw on illegal trafficking. This is not fentanyl, this is

650
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: not drug related. This is illegal human smuggling, getting illegals

651
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 2: into this country. And to put that in context, that

652
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: is more than the NFL is going to make this year.

653
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 2: So smuggling people illegally into the country, for the Mexican

654
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 2: cartels is a better business than football. Does that comport

655
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 2: with some of the numbers that you're seeing and are

656
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: I mean, is it an important for everybody to understand

657
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: what a big business this is for the cartels in

658
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: terms of the profits they're making.

659
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:52,479
Speaker 8: Yeah.

660
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 7: Absolutely, I think people should understand that Biden's open border,

661
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 7: Mayericus open border is funneling. And your number, I think

662
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 7: is accurate. The number I saw was fourteen billion for

663
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 7: humans and thirteen billion for drugs. We had crossed the

664
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 7: nexus issue where the humans actually make them more than

665
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 7: the drugs.

666
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: Isn't that wild to even think about that human smuggling

667
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: is more valuable now for them than drug dealing.

668
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, the price point.

669
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 7: You know, you can re smuggle an individual and then

670
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 7: that individual comes across and does crime for you on

671
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 7: the other side to pay you back. If it's not

672
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 7: a cash deal, you know, with the drug it's a

673
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 7: one time thing. So that's that's what they're thinking.

674
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 5: So Congressman, when the bid administration says that they're on this,

675
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 5: I mean, I've seen, for example recently they talk about

676
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 5: the border and they bring up these refugee processing centers

677
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 5: they're going to set up. I think they said in

678
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 5: Colombia Guatemala and Costa Rica. So basically at different way

679
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 5: stations or different points a lot the way up through

680
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 5: you know, from from our south up through Mexico and

681
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 5: the United States are trying to stop people, they say.

682
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 5: But as I'm looking at this, I'm just thinking to myself,

683
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 5: why would any First of all, you could always apply,

684
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 5: get rejected and then just come across the border the

685
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 5: way they have anyway? And for most people, why why

686
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 5: apply at a migrant processing center when you just walk

687
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 5: in and say you're a migrant, you know what I mean?

688
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: Like this, this to me is just it's unseerious policy

689
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: that they're pushing.

690
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 7: Actually, what's going to happen is what they do with

691
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 7: their CBP one app at those processing centers. They're just

692
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 7: gonna claim asylum and then those people have a ticket

693
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 7: from Guatemala or from Panama to come into the US.

694
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 7: This isn't gonna stop any oh.

695
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: It's so it's even worse concrecsations. It's worse than what

696
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: I thought you're saying.

697
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 5: Basically, now they just get like a get into the

698
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 5: country free card exactly.

699
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 7: This is just gonna incentimize more migration. And interestingly enough,

700
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 7: had a conversation with the Guatemalan president about this compels

701
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 7: Guatemala if they cooperate to violate Guatemala's immigration laws. So

702
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 7: I mean, we're not even being a good neighbor.

703
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,439
Speaker 1: Where does this all end?

704
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 2: I mean, because I think you probably would agree, Congressman,

705
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 2: that we are going to set all time record highs

706
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong and follow this logic.

707
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean, like Buck just said, I mean, when you're

708
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: telling five hundred thousand we've been talking about during the

709
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 2: course of the show, and you're telling five hundred thousand Venezuelans, Hey,

710
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: as long as you were here before July thirty first, you.

711
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: Can go get a job. Now.

712
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: To me, that means millions of Venezuelans are going to

713
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 2: start the march, if they haven't already north, They're never

714
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: going to go back to Venezuela.

715
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: They're going to be in this country forever. So where

716
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: does this end?

717
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if we're at six million illegals so far,

718
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: why would there not be an all time record of

719
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 2: three or four million? Now, because I think, Congressman, given

720
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 2: the fact that we've got an election next November, what

721
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: they're going to be saying is if you want to

722
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: come to America. You need to come now because we

723
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 2: don't know who's going to win, and they may shut

724
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 2: down the border, which is going to create even more chaos.

725
00:38:59,080 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?

726
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 7: No, you're not, You're absolutely right. This is this is

727
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 7: an incentive, right, so people, they've incentivized people to come,

728
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 7: and it's just like you know China looking at Taiwan

729
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 7: that the biggest risk is right now because Joe Biden's

730
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 7: President of the United States, the biggest incentive to come

731
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 7: into America from.

732
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,720
Speaker 8: Wherever you are in the world.

733
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 7: And these people are coming from one hundred and sixty

734
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 7: different countries. It's not just Latin America and the Caribbean.

735
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 7: It's right now until next November, and so there it is.

736
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 7: There is some interesting movement though in the Democrat camp.

737
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 7: In fact, my committee this week we had a hearing

738
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 7: and one of the Democrats who was making the closing

739
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 7: comments actually admitted that the drug cartels had control of

740
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 7: the southern border, which is a huge movement of the needle.

741
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 7: And you've got Mayor Adams, of course, you know, demanding

742
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 7: that Biden do something now. His solution is money sent

743
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 7: to him, which is just more of an incentive, but

744
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 7: it at least them. You know, saying this is a

745
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 7: crisis is a huge help. And at some point, you know,

746
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 7: Joe Biden's going to have to listen to these people

747
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 7: or he won't be their nominee.

748
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 5: So what happens then, I mean, Congressman, it seems like

749
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 5: this issue, it couldn't be any more clear. There's a

750
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 5: massive problem at our border right that is obvious to

751
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 5: anybody who pays attention and cares to know about it.

752
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 5: The Biden administration so far just seems to be wanting

753
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 5: to process people. I mean that the processing centers are

754
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 5: setting up abroad is an even better example of it

755
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 5: than I realized. So are we just going to see

756
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 5: what another two million and twenty twenty four going to

757
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 5: the country or do you think that the Biden White

758
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 5: House is going to do something that actually stops the

759
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 5: flow in a meaningful way, at least for the election year.

760
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 7: Joe Biden's going to wear this around his neck for

761
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 7: the election if he gets to be their nominee, and

762
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,320
Speaker 7: if he doesn't act, he's not going to be president

763
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 7: of the United States. Everywhere I go, this is the

764
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 7: number one issue, and they're increasingly Democrats saying this is unsustainable,

765
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 7: and so our art comment is, just enforce the existing

766
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 7: laws on the books. If you just enforce the existing

767
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 7: laws on the books, that would stop seventy five percent

768
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 7: of it. Reinstate Trump's policies, that'll stop ninety percent of it.

769
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 7: Pass hr TOW the bill we passed, and that will

770
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 7: stop all of it. That bill's sitting in the Senate

771
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 7: waiting on the Senate to do something. So at a minimum,

772
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 7: he could fire my arcus and then you know, say, oh,

773
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 7: I didn't realize this was bad, this bad, and oh,

774
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 7: you know, we'll fix it. That's that's the course of action.

775
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 7: Will he go that way? Yeah, I don't know, but

776
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 7: I certainly hope something happens. If he doesn't, we're gonna

777
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 7: we're gonna hold Mayerica's accountable and try to get him

778
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 7: out of that seat.

779
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: Congressman, last question for you, do you think Joe Biden

780
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 2: is actually going to run as the nominee in twenty

781
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,880
Speaker 2: twenty four based on what you see, based on what

782
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: all of us see, I'm sure there's constant talk about it,

783
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 2: both Democrats and Republicans in the House, sort of behind

784
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 2: closed doors. What's going on here. You're a doctor, You've

785
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: got a long background. You're not a doctor like Jill

786
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: Biden's a doctor, You're an actual doctor. What do you

787
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 2: think is going on here? Is he fit to be

788
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 2: able to be president of the United States?

789
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 7: He is clearly not fit. The performance in Vietnam, you know,

790
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 7: just recently at the UN. I mean, the guy is

791
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 7: it's an embarrassment to the country and his cognitive abilities.

792
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 7: There is clearly some significant cognitive decline there, most probably

793
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 7: age related. And I don't Your question though, is do

794
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 7: I think he stays on the ticket and talking to

795
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 7: the Democrats, they're getting to the point where they think

796
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 7: it's too late to pull him. Now, if that's the case,

797
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 7: then I guess he stays on and they go to

798
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 7: their convention, and they have all these super delicates, so

799
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 7: they could, I guess, pull him at the convention. But

800
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 7: I can't imagine that he stays. I just I don't

801
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 7: know how they can justify that to the American people.

802
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: But if he can't stay, how does he go? Yeah,

803
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 2: that's that's the question, right.

804
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 5: This is what we're stuck on all the time, Congressman,

805
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 5: because I mean, I could see the argument for why

806
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 5: he's got to go. But no one's been able to

807
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 5: convince me of how they let that happen without disaster

808
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 5: electorally for the Democrats.

809
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 7: Well, if they put the right person in. I mean,

810
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 7: there are harder people out there for us to run

811
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 7: against than Biden. So you know it may be you know,

812
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 7: and there be an advantage to them to do that

813
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 7: and have him step down. Now, you know, they could

814
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 7: use the constitution, they could ask him to step down.

815
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 7: They could replace Harris first, and then you know, declarum incompetent.

816
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 7: I mean, there's there's many different possibilities of how to

817
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 7: do it.

818
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 8: You know, the question is do they have the will?

819
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 5: All right, Congress and Greed appreciate you being with us, sir,

843
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,400
Speaker 2: heard anyone that hates name tags. I despise them and

844
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 2: have for years. You, sir, are brilliant in this regard.

845
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 2: I was not expecting that you would get anti name

846
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: tag fan mail, but there you go.

847
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: Shena fall In.

848

849
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 5: and understands great talent when she hears it. I mean,

850
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 5: think about this, like we're not adult. I mean I

851
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 5: understand name tags for four year olds like oh, like

852
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 5: you know, you're Bob, I'm Sarah like you know, but

853
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 5: you're an adult. You walk up to somebody and say hi,

854
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 5: my name is and you shake hand. I don't need

855
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 5: a little helper. I don't need a little thing that

856
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 5: says your name here. You just tell me your name

857
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 5: if I want to know your name. And by the way,

858
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 5: I'm probably gonna forget it because everyone forgets everyone else's name.

859
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 5: So who cares but that you would wear this sort

860
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 5: of nerdy thing that says your name on it. It

861
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 5: does remind me of the Uh didn't they do it

862
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 5: in the office like they walked? They had they had.

863
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 2: The office is the I think it's the funniest, Like

864
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 2: it's on my wife watches the Office and Beverly Hills.

865
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 5: Like they wrote different did they write like the bags

866
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 5: of different nationalities?

867
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 8: Yes?

868
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 2: Uh, my wife watches the Office and Beverly Hills nine

869
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: O two one oh. Now, so like when I walk

870
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 2: through the house, there's basically always either the Office or

871
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills now two and oh and I hate to

872
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: admit it, but I get sucked into these shows like

873
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm busy and I'm thinking, you know, I gotta do this,

874
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: I gotta do that. Forty five minutes later, an hour later,

875
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: I'm sitting down on the couch watching either of those

876
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: shows because they're almost irresistible.

877
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 5: Wait wait, wait, because Laura, I mean, I don't know

878
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 5: if she's listening or not, she prefers nine O two

879
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 5: ande O to the OC because that's always a big

880
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 5: that's always a bit fight.

881
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: Well, I think.

882
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 2: Lara's generation because Lara is two years older than me,

883
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 2: which would make her five years older than you.

884
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: I think, right, so the OC.

885
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: By the time the OC became popular, I think we

886
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 2: were already married. So nine two and oh was her

887
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 2: high school and early into college, jam I think. So anyway,

888
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 2: I'm watching it's amazing. And I will say this on

889
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 2: the name tag front because it just happened this week.

890
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 2: We've been going you one day, Buck will be back

891
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 2: in this. I'm sure your parents did it. We go

892
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 2: and we walk around the school to meet you basically

893
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: go through your kid's day to meet all the teachers.

894
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: So we had seventh grade and then we had tenth grade.

895
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 2: So we basically go through and meet all the teachers,

896
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 2: and you wear name tags and I wrote my name

897
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: on it. And we're sitting around, we're walking around or whatever,

898
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm wearing the name tag and my wife's like, you're

899
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 2: supposed to write your son's name tag on the name

900
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 2: tag two, not just yours. So she was like, you're

901
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 2: so cocky. You just presume that all you need to

902
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 2: do is write your own. But I never even thought

903
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 2: about that, Like, you're supposed to now write to your

904
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 2: boy buck, not only my own name. I was evidently

905
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 2: supposed to write my son's name as well, so people

906
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: would know who my kid was. I didn't even think

907
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 2: about it, like this name tag business. Maybe I'm anti

908
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: name tag too.

909
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 5: I'm just telling you, the more you think about it,

910
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 5: the more you'll realize. And especially whenever whenever I've had

911
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 5: to go to events or something. First of all, if

912
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 5: I'm like the you know, not to be that guy.

913
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 5: If I'm the keynote speaker, I'm definitely not wearing a

914
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 5: name tag, okay, cause you're supposed to know who I

915
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 5: am if I'm giving the speech, and if you don't,

916
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 5: you'll find out when I'm on the stage. I like

917
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 5: the interaction of hi, my name is and meeting people.

918
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 5: So I'm just telling you people might think that I'm

919
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 5: being a stickler here, but name tags no good.

920
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: Get rid of them. You don't need them.

921
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: So speaking of not being them, we teased this and

922
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 2: the story just came down while we were talking, so

923
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 2: we played was it yesterday or two days ago? The

924
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 2: Washington Post was investigating, and maybe our New York team

925
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 2: can give us a few more details here. But my

926
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 2: understanding is basically, there is a pizza festival in Brooklyn

927
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 2: that is taking place tomorrow and there are it's like

928
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 2: a pizza taste test festival where they have all these

929
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: different local pizza places in New York City, which is

930
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 2: very well known for having great pizza, and there are

931
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: all different types of pizza. And I've got a huge

932
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 2: percentage of you out there are monster pizza fans, and

933
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: certainly if you live in New York City. When I

934
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 2: was a kid, but going to New York City, one

935
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 2: of the cool things to do was to go into

936
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 2: the pizza shop and get a pizza, slice of pizza

937
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 2: right and be able to experience that as a tourist,

938
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 2: I've met a huge percentage of our listeners have done

939
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 2: that at some point in time. And I know in

940
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 2: Chicago you're like, we like the deep dish, And in

941
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 2: Detroit area they're talking, you know, Detroit's pizza.

942
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: You know what it is.

943
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 2: Detroit style pizza is square. I didn't know this until

944
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 2: I started dating my wife, whose family is all from

945
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,399
Speaker 2: the Michigan in Detroit area. But it's really a deep

946
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: dish kind of square pizza. There's all different sorts of

947
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 2: pot types of pizza. And people can argue about him

948
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: and everything else. The Washington Post Buck did an entire

949
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 2: piece on whether pizza shops should be associated with a

950
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 2: guy who has had controversial past comments which are all

951
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 2: intended to be jokes, right, that are sometimes considered to

952
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 2: be too aggressive or unacceptable. And I read this entire

953
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: piece to first of all, these are food reporters. I

954
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 2: don't know why you have food reporters in the first place.

955
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to go review, go review

956
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: restaurants or whatever, that's fine.

957
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: Is it controversial for.

958
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: Pizza places to engage in a pizza festival? I just

959
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 2: the idea of this entire premise is crazy. And they

960
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 2: say here's here's a guy who is who is upset

961
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 2: Joe Rosenthal, Minnesota based mathematician who has positioned himself as

962
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: the conscience of the food and restaurant industries.

963
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: Oh, he sounds like a lot of fun.

964
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about a guy who

965
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 2: has chicks for days, Joe Rosenthal. The chicks just lose

966
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 2: it when they find out that this guy's the conscience

967
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 2: of the food and restaurant industry. Has been leading the

968
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 2: charge against those involved with the pizza festival. He has

969
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 2: posted regularly on his Instagram account with its thirty three

970
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 2: thousand followers, writing pizzeria's influencers and trade publications are showing

971
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 2: that Portnoy can continue his violent misogyny and campaigns of

972
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 2: abuse and they will continue to support him. He wants

973
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: the public to know about past behaviors and pressure them

974
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 2: to not participate.

975
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: It's a pizza festival. I'm sorry, it's a pizza festival.

976
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 2: It's hard for me buck to even conceptualize of a

977
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 2: less controversial thing that could be going on that a

978
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: pizza festival. It's hard for me to think of a

979
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 2: thing that could have less of a political agenda than

980
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 2: a pizza festival, and the Washington Post is covering this

981
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 2: more aggressively than they are Hunter Biden's illegal deal.

982
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 5: I mean, what is going on here? There's there's something

983
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 5: that you're seeing more and more of it. It has

984
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 5: existed for years, but it's become more apparent and nastier.

985
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 5: And it is those who work for some of the

986
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 5: traditional corporate Democrat platforms, and we know the big ones,

987
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 5: right New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC. They have

988
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 5: a real animosity for people that are on the outside

989
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 5: and have built brands. I mean, look at the way

990
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 5: even someone who's not right wing but who is open

991
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 5: to other ideas, like Joe Rogan, who has built such

992
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 5: massive influence in the digital space, and they go they

993
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,759
Speaker 5: go after him a New York Times, Washington Post on

994
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 5: the COVID stuff, on a whole range of things, to

995
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 5: say it's misogynistic, sexist. Uh, there's a lot of envy

996
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 5: and a lot of resentment in the media now. There

997
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 5: are people that work at the New York Times, that

998
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 5: work at the Washington Post in particular, and other similar

999
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 5: papers who really think that someone like a Portnoy is

1000
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 5: a danger to society because he has influence and he's

1001
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 5: not supposed to the editorial board at the Washington Post

1002
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 5: is supposed to. So there's it's personal for them at

1003
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 5: some level when they're dealing with some of these media figures.

1004
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 5: You know, I'm sure you I'm sure you felt a

1005
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 5: lot of sports from some of the from the ESPN people,

1006
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 5: et cetera, you know, who are in that more establishment

1007
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 5: sports model mode.

1008
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know what the I only know ESPN.

1009
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's other places and other you know, sports

1010
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 5: pages that people pay attention to. But that's I always

1011
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 5: think of a part of this as well, and that's

1012
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 5: why you see And then there's also just Clay the

1013
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 5: Marxist politicize everything to the last pizza crust. And that's

1014
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:03,719
Speaker 5: something else that.

1015
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: They do here.

1016
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,919
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like I mean OJ Simpson, I'll

1017
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 2: just use him as an example. OJ Simpson is not

1018
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 2: a very likable guy. He committed double murder. But if

1019
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 2: OJ Simpson like was involved in salsa or OJ Simpson

1020
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 2: had like a chili tasting contest, right, like something that

1021
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:28,720
Speaker 2: is completely not controversial, I mean chili or salsa or whatever.

1022
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 2: It's crazy to me that you would build your entire

1023
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 2: free time, Like, these guys are angry that there's a

1024
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 2: pizza festival going on. You want the pizza festival to

1025
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: not exist?

1026
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: I mean right, Like, just think I always go to

1027
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: like the end result here.

1028
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,839
Speaker 2: If this guy that The Washington Post is legitimizing by

1029
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 2: putting two reporters on this story and covering it and

1030
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: spending probably not kidding, hundreds of hours on this several

1031
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 2: thousand word piece that they wrote about a pizza festival.

1032
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: What's the end result?

1033
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 2: If this guy gets what he wants, there isn't a

1034
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 2: pizza festival, how is that beneficial? Like a pizza festival

1035
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 2: is something that people would enjoy and you can go

1036
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 2: and you can eat pizza and you can spend fun time.

1037
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 2: Like sometimes I think you need to go to the

1038
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 2: end result of what these people want, and it is

1039
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 2: a less joyful existence, right, Like he's trying to shut

1040
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 2: down a pizza festival.

1041
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 1: If this were super political.

1042
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 2: Like let's say this is a rally against illegal immigration

1043
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,720
Speaker 2: or something, then I could see like, Okay, I'm fired

1044
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 2: up about this.

1045
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: It's political.

1046
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 2: What this guy is trying to do is shut down

1047
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 2: something that people will enjoy and replace it with nothing.

1048
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,280
Speaker 5: But as you know, whether it's pizza or sports. Now,

1049
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 5: the attitude of the left is everything is political. If

1050
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 5: you hold the wrong views, they will boycott your donut bakery.

1051
00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 5: They don't care. If you are not part of the team.

1052
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 5: You are a target. If you oppose you know, mandatory

1053
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 5: vaccination or masking. If you don't think that men can

1054
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,240
Speaker 5: become women, if you think that we should have border

1055
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 5: security and immigration law should be enforced, you are day

1056
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 5: facto a target. You are not even collateral damage anymore.

1057
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 5: You are actually to be targeted if and when they

1058
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 5: have you know, the bandwidth and the ability to do so.

1059
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 5: And that's why I brought up something even like, you know,

1060
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 5: could I get a fair trial in New York versus

1061
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 5: a trial in Florida. You see that the mentality now

1062
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 5: is intentionally to make everything so political that nothing can

1063
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 5: be a political and to force everyone to choose sides

1064
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 5: on everything, and it becomes exhausting. I mean, I would

1065
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 5: love it if there were whole areas where we weren't

1066
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 5: constantly being having politics shoved down our throats. Sports obviously

1067
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 5: view most of most, yeah, but you know, movies and

1068
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 5: TV shows and everything. I wish we could all just

1069
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 5: sort of take a moment, relax and say there are

1070
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:57,959
Speaker 5: things in life that we can all enjoy that aren't

1071
00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 5: about who you're going to vote for.

1072
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: They reject that.

1073
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 5: The Washington Post rejects that Dave Portnoy is not even

1074
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 5: a Republican, might I note, but he's just rogue enough

1075
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 5: from the regime line, and he's enough of a you know,

1076
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 5: enough of a a maverick that he bothers them. And

1077
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 5: so they even want to make his pizza fest or

1078
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 5: whatever one byte what is it one bite fest or something?

1079
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, we have I'll text him and see if

1080
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 2: we can get him on next week because I'm curious

1081
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 2: how this goes on. But I'm just like, just think

1082
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 2: about this sometimes. What's the end result of what these

1083
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 2: people want. It's a less joyful, fun society, right, because

1084
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 2: what they're trying to do, I mean, imagine getting this

1085
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 2: worked up about trying to shut down a pizza festival.

1086
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 2: That's what they want, and that's what they're trying to do.

1087
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 2: And that's the end result of so much of this

1088
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 2: cancel culture. It's ending things that people like I mean,

1089
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 2: you can go take the step to Roseanne, right, The

1090
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 2: Roseanne Show is pretty funny. Roseanne is a talented comedian

1091
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 2: and the show about the Connors and everybody else like

1092
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 2: people enjoyed that, But because Roseanne sends out a tweet,

1093
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 2: suddenly what she creates cannot be enjoyed by people like

1094
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 2: it was before.

1095
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: It's just it's I think you said it.

1096
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 2: Well, there is everything as political, but it also just

1097
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: strips the joy out of life.

1098
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: And I've seen it with sports right.

1099
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 2: I can't even go watch a game without having to

1100
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 2: worry about who some of the quarterback votes for.

1101
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: I'll just say it real quick.

1102
00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 5: So I know we got to go to break but

1103
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 5: I remember, and it was before he bought X And

1104
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 5: I know, you know, Elon Musk for some people is controversial, complicated.

1105
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the guy is amazing and overall

1106
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 5: I think a hugely positive force. But when he just

1107
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 5: said that wokeness is effectively taken as a license to

1108
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 5: be really vicious, just to be really mean to people

1109
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 5: and feel good about it, that was a brilliant insight

1110
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 5: because it is so true, and that was honestly the

1111
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 5: thing that Elon said that stuck with me more than

1112
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 5: anything else.

1113
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 2: That is perfectly distilled. Writing a book not easy it

1114
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 2: takes focus and a lot of research. I just went

1115
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 2: through it in the middle of it right now. Our

1116
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 2: friend Dutch Minden Hall also just authored a book this

1117
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 2: year titled Money Shackles. Dutch knows a thing or two

1118
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 2: about money, how to invest it. He's co founder CEO

1119
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: of rad Diversified, a company helping thousands of Americans determine

1120
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 2: which alternative investment vehicles are right for them. And this

1121
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 2: term money shackles, what does it mean? These shackles represent

1122
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 2: the financial hamstrings Americans have fought with for decades with

1123
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 2: a stigma attached. Go to school, get in debt, buy

1124
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 2: a car, get in debt. He believes it's the wrong

1125
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 2: thoughts and the wrong teachings. And his book he'll give

1126
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 2: you his strategies to use debt to your advantage and

1127
