1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back. Everybody's second hour of The 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show underway. Now, Well, I've 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: been talking a lot about elections. It is decision day 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: in Wyoming and the Alaska at least primary decision day, 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: and Alaska has kind of a weird primary. But yeah, 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney's about to get the boots. So that's good news. 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: He's gonna get tossed out of office here soon. She 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: richly deserves it. But there's another election process of sorts 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: that has occurred that we wanted to bring to your 11 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: attention here. As you know, we've been all over the 12 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: progressive prosecutor issue really for as long as we've been 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: on air together, because this has led to a massive 14 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: increase lib lunatic prosecutors who just think, let criminals go free. 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: The criminal justice system is racist. Just don't even lock 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: people up, don't even charge them. One hundred arrests, no 17 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: big deal, must have had a bad day a hundred 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: times in a row. It's resulted in less safe cities, 19 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: It's resulted in more people being murdered, rape, robbed, assaulted. 20 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: We all see it, we know it. The numbers all 21 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: back it up. And some of the worst offenders in 22 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: the progressive prosecutor pantheon are the former now DA of 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: San Francisco, chess At Boudan, Brag Alvin Bragg in New 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: York City, Kim Fox in Chicago, and Gascone of Los Angeles. 25 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: Now there is a recall effort underway, has been a 26 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: recall effort, I have to say, underway to get rid 27 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: of Gascon in Los Angeles, after the successful recall effort 28 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: to get rid of Boudan in San Francisco, and unfortunately 29 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: the recall effort has hit a little snag clay. There's 30 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: so much going on here. This is so interesting, isn't it. 31 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: To get a recall measure on the ballot for the 32 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: upcoming election, you needed to have five hundred for the partition. 33 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: This is from the LA Registrar County Registrar. Five hundred 34 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: and sixty six thousand, eight hundred and fifty seven signatures. 35 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: Now they had over seven hundred thousand signatures to recall Gascone, 36 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: but we just find out today that only five hundred 37 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: and twenty thousand and fifty signatures were found to be 38 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: valid one hundred and ninety five thousand, seven hundred and 39 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: eighty three signatures they have said are invalid. Now this 40 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: is I've seen the reasons. There's all kinds of stuff, 41 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: and we can get into some of the what the 42 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: basis is for alleged basis for removing these signatures may be, 43 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: but Clay, a lot of people are pointed to something 44 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: right now. It's really interesting. What percentage of man in 45 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: ballots in the twenty twenty election were rejected in Los 46 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: Angeles County less than one percent, basically none. What percentage 47 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: of signatures to get this Gascon recall recall on the 48 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: ballot were rejected almost thirty percent. It's about mathematically a 49 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: sixty x when you add it all up. For every 50 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: one signature from a mail in ballot or from a 51 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: mail in ballot in general, for every one that was 52 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: rejected in twenty twenty, sixty signatures were rejected in the 53 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: Gascon effort. I have a feeling at best here they 54 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: decided to get a whole lot more strict with the 55 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: rules when it was their guy who wanted the strict rules. Yeah, 56 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: and also the idea of a written recall effort feels 57 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: really antiquated to me in a modern era right where 58 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: you're sitting and looking at every signal signature and all 59 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: of these right, we had massive issues in Michigan with 60 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: a lot of the people who wanted to be on 61 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: the ballot in Michigan. Now Tutor Dixon ended up being 62 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: the nominee. I spent a lot of time up in 63 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: Michigan and was talking to people about this, But they 64 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: had a bunch of people that they thought were going 65 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: to be leading Republican contenders for governor that weren't able 66 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: to get these signatures validated. It just seems like it's messy, 67 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: doesn't it. I mean, when you're talking about almost two 68 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: hundred thousand signatures being rejected, you're almost to the point 69 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: now where whatever ballot measure you're trying to advocate for 70 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: needs to get twice as many as the minimum number 71 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: in order to feel like you even have a chance 72 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: to get on the ballot itself. And getting gascone out 73 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: in LA is something that cuts across partisan lines in 74 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 1: a substantial way. Much like we saw what happened down 75 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: in San Francisco with Chesa Houdin, and you didn't mention him, 76 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: but Philadelphia. I mean, we've talked a little bit about then, 77 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: Larry Krasner. Philadelphia is on pace right now for the 78 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: deadliest and highest level shootings that have ever existed in 79 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: the history of Philadelphia, and a lot of it is 80 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: being pointed at Larry Krasner as the reason. And certainly 81 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: if you're listening to us in Los Angeles now, I've 82 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: been fortunate gotten to spend a lot of time in 83 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: LA over the years. I really liked the city of 84 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. But my goodness, the amount of health and 85 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: safety and danger that has changed in the last decade 86 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: in LA is pretty significant. And we haven't talked much 87 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: about it, Buck, but they're having a big mayoral election 88 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and that's really kind of being divided 89 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: in many ways along political lines, even though both of 90 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: the final two, if I remember correctly, are both Democrats. 91 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: One of them was a long time Republican developer who 92 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: is now saying, hey, I'm a Democrat as well. Karen 93 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: Bass is on one side, and what's the guy who's 94 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: going to be Karen Bass hopefully? I mean, I think 95 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: he's the more more rational and reasonable of the LA 96 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: mayoral candidates, and it would be a big win, and 97 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: he's actually been endorsed by a lot of a lot 98 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: of the people who are just fed up in Los 99 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: Angeles with the collapse that they've seen there. There's a 100 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: big point of hypocrisy here as well, because in the 101 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Gascone recall effort. Now, Gascone is up for reelection in 102 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four anyway, and it is looking very unlikely 103 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: that he will be reelected because even Democrats realize, Look, 104 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: I think I sent you a photo of it this morning. Play. 105 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I live in midtown Manhattan. I live within 106 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: a stone's throw of Time Square, right in the heart 107 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: of the city, and I walk out my front door 108 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: and there are used needles and drug baggies fifty feet 109 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: from the from the front door. I mean, this is 110 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: just what happens when you decriminalize open air drug usage. 111 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: When when all of a sudden, shooting up heroin and 112 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: broad daylight in front of children on a crowded street 113 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: is no big deal. You see a lot more of it, right, 114 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: And when you don't prosecute people that are gang members 115 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: and have you know, multiple felonies already on the record, 116 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: you don't give them a stiff sentence, they end up 117 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: shooting somebody, and that's what's happened in Krasner's Philadelphia. You know, 118 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: there were twelve people who were shot Friday night alone 119 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. And I know people say, well, some weekends 120 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: there's you know, thirty or forty shot in Chicago. Well 121 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: it's one night, and Philly is a fraction the size 122 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: of Chicago. Philadelphia is going to end up having one 123 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: of the highest murder rates in the entire country. And 124 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: it all coincides with Kami lunatic Krasner being the prosecutor 125 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: who comes in and just says, prosecuting criminals feels racist 126 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: to me, which, by the way, that that sentiment, I 127 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: would argue, is completely insane, right, because what you're effectively, 128 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: what you're claiming with all of this, is that the 129 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: disparate impact of prosecution, somehow you never take into effect 130 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: the disparate impact on the communities where this violence is occurring. 131 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: You know, are you going to side with the ninety 132 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: nine percent of minorities who are law abiding or the 133 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: one percent in certain communities who are not law abiding? Right? 134 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: But for Krasner, it's an easy decision. He's made that 135 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: decision and this is what we see. We see it. 136 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: It's spiraling out of control. Well, let me clear this 137 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: up to LA may or. Race is going to come 138 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: down to Rick Caruso, who is a former developer, billionaire 139 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: and former Republican and he's going up against Karen vast 140 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: So that's the decision that La is going to have 141 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: to make. To your point on Philadelphia and the allegations 142 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: Larry Krasner would toss out that policing is racist, I 143 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: think you destroy that argument with one analogy, and I 144 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: think it's a good one that I would encourage everybody 145 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: out there. There's my men and women violent thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 146 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: it's true. As soon as you ask somebody say, okay, 147 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: it's racist here because fifty people who are going to 148 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: being arrested for violent crime or black and they only 149 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: represent twelve percent of the population. Whatever it is, say, okay, 150 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: ninety seven percent of the people that are being arrested 151 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: for violent crime in America regularly, certainly well over ninety 152 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: percent in every community. You know what they are mail? 153 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: Is it sexist that police are police waging war on 154 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: men by arresting men wildly er percentages than their percentage 155 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: of population. If you took the left wing view on 156 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: this the the what's the word where misogyny is hating women? Andrew? 157 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: Is it? No? Not? It's uh, miss, what's the word 158 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: for hating men? I'm blanking on right now. I don't 159 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 1: even know it's there is a word, and I think 160 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: it's androw something or other. I'm forgetting right now. But anyway, 161 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: if you took the left wing argument about criminal justice 162 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: and race to apply it to gender, what you would 163 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: you would you would go through all the same iterations. 164 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: You'd say, there are so many men who are in 165 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: prison u for crimes they didn't commit, and women get 166 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: off for murders all the time. This is what is 167 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: often said, right and they would say, or miss Andrew, 168 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how Miss Andrew was like, yeah, okay, okay, yeah, 169 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: And there are so many men who are in prison 170 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: who who are innocent, and beyond that, we should just 171 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: let a lot of men who are murderers out of prison, 172 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: because clearly it can't be true that there are more 173 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: men committing murders than women. Therefore, let's just empty out 174 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: the prison population of murderers and see what happens. That 175 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: is the argument that the left has engaged in just 176 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: with race instead of gender involved. And you know, you 177 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: see this playing out with kras and you see this 178 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: playing out with Gascombe. But just another thing, clay on 179 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: the process, the recall process, and how I mean here 180 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: that they're saying things like I pulled this up so 181 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: I could see exactly the reasons they got rid of 182 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: a lot folks. Almost two hundred thousand signatures found to 183 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: be invalid, right, not registered. Max number of times signed 184 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: different an address, different address, thirty two thousand. That's that's 185 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: close to being the margin. You know how you know 186 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: there were thousands of people who voted in the wrong 187 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: county in Georgia in the twenty twenty election and their 188 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: votes were counted, and they don't they don't seem to care. 189 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: Molly Molly Hemingway over the Federalists that excellent work on this. 190 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: They just figure, well, they basically should count because people's 191 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: votes should count. So we're just going to ignore the rules. Notice, 192 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: the left becomes hyper focused on ways to use integrity 193 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: laws about elections or anything else when it's to their advantage, 194 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: and when it's not to their advantage, those laws are racist. Yeah, 195 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: and it's systemic racism, not just racism, systemic racism. So 196 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: I would ask all of you out there, the next 197 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: time you hear maybe it's your kids, maybe it's your 198 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: grandkids arguing the criminal justice system is systemically racist, just 199 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: set them down and say is it also systemically sexist? 200 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: And then walk through that argue with them and see 201 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: what their reaction is, because a lot of times when 202 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: people play the systemic racism card, they expect because there 203 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: is a fear in your racist If you question anything 204 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: that has to do with systemic racism allegations, just say, yeah, 205 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: you know what, In addition to being systemically racist, I 206 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: think our criminal justice system is systemically sexist because men 207 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: are overwhelmingly going to prison and it's not fair. And 208 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: just see what the reaction is. Why are police so sexist? 209 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: Why are they consistently arresting men and not arresting women? 210 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: And in order to balance things out in society, should 211 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: we just arrest fewer men for violent crimes? Should we 212 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: just Look, it's not fair. Clearly men aren't just committing 213 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: more violent crimes than women, The argument goes, so we 214 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: should just arrest fewer men for violent crimes. This is 215 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: the argument laid bare for everybody. So there you go, 216 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: and what happens when you do that? By the way, 217 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: there's more c what a shock A smart thing you 218 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: can do right now, folks, has put yourself in the 219 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: best financial situation possible.

We're talking 258 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: about the election that is going on. The NBA has 259 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: announced that they are not going to play games on 260 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: election day this year, and instead all thirty teams are 261 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 1: going to play the day before and they are going 262 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: to encourage everyone to go out and vote. I'm sure 263 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: in an incredibly woke fashion. Every time I think, hey, 264 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: maybe sports is starting to get back a little bit 265 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: too normal and they're just going to entertain us, they 266 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: do something like this. They've never taken off election day before. 267 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: It's normal because they're entertainers. They entertain pretty much every 268 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: day of the week. Instead, all thirty teams will play 269 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: the day before, they will lecture us about politics, and 270 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: they will not play on election day. I don't think 271 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: it's going to move the needle, but it does move 272 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: the needle of annoying people like me, So there's that. 273 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: It's not going to change. I doubt it will change 274 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: any of the election outcomes, although you know who knows 275 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: in a supertit election anything can. But it just goes 276 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: to show you. I think that the Democrat apparatus, in 277 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: all of its forms and all of its manifestations is mobilizing. 278 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: They are circling the wagons. They're doing everything they can 279 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: to prevent the electoral justice that they so richly deserve. 280 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the thing the Democrats have sucked 281 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: at running the country for the last two years. They 282 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: just have We all know it, We've all seen it. 283 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: So I'm sorry that people now regret their votes for Biden. 284 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that people were disappointed because they believed 285 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: all the stupid talking points. But they shouldn't vote for 286 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: the same thing because they don't want to admit that 287 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: they were wrong. That's just how I feel about this. 288 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: I'm not even on the COVID thing yet, and you 289 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: know that's when I really lose my mind. Well, we're 290 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: going to talk with Alex Barnson at the top of 291 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: the next hour about the COVID thing. Buck. One thing 292 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: I do wonder about the raid is whether I know, 293 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about whether Trump might announce for 294 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four before the mid term, did the raid 295 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: serve as a default Trump announcement in that it basically 296 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: soaked up all of the attention and instead of pointing 297 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: out all of the things that Joe Biden is doing wrong. Now, 298 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: all of the attention is on should there or should 299 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: there not have been a raid? On Donald's important question. 300 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: Nashville Nostro damas more or less likely today that Trump 301 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: is going to be indicted in your mind, meaning do 302 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: you as a moving more toward that or a little 303 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: bit back from that. I think it's more likely still 304 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 1: that he's going to be indicted because I don't think 305 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: you can do this raid and then basically just come 306 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: up an empty hand, right. I think that's hard to 307 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: justify for all of the Democrat voters because I think 308 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: that's right and gets right. If you own a business, 309 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: this past couple of years has been rough, sure you 310 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: could use a break.

Look 330 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: at that. It's like magic, Clay, I just will it 331 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: into existence. There you go. We have Kelly Shabaka with 332 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: us now. She's running for Senate up in the great 333 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: state of Alaska. Kelly, thanks for calling and appreciate you 334 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: making the time. I know it's a big day. I'm 335 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: so happy to be with you and thanks for making 336 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: time for me. So tell us about what everybody, not 337 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: just across the country, but certainly in your home State 338 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: of Alaska's We've got a great Alaska audience listening to this. 339 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: What do they need to know about why they should 340 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: go with you as the real Republican here over Lisa 341 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: Murkowski as the fake Republican. Maybe I just gave too 342 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: much away, but go ahead. I think you just summed 343 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: it up. But here's like three top reasons. Number one, 344 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: we need someone who's going to block all those Biden 345 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: nominees that are harmful for Alaska, instead of having a 346 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: senator who's confirmed nearly all the radical nominees, including those 347 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: leftist environmentalists who are working to shut down our state 348 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: and pursue the energy annihilating agenda that's killing our fossil 349 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: fuel industry and driving up gas prices. Number two, we 350 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: need a senator who isn't bought and paid for by 351 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: dark money from DC insiders and radical environmentalists and big tech, 352 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: and instead have a senator who represents our Alaska voices 353 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: and won't be bullied, silenced, and controlled by the DC insiders. 354 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: And I'd say number three, we need a senator who 355 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: doesn't say one thing in Alaska and do the opposite 356 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: in DC and instead votes for what's in the best 357 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: interests of Alaska, Like right now, Senator Murkowski says she 358 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: supports our Second Amendment interest but then she goes back 359 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: to DC and works with Joe Biden and the Democrats 360 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: to vote for red flag laws and she loses her 361 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: NRA endorsement and votes for gun control. Well, we love 362 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: our guns up here. We have to look both ways 363 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: when we walk outside our door to see a Brizley 364 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,959 Speaker 1: bear is coming. So we need a senator who just 365 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: talks straight. Claire, I told you about the grizzly bears everywhere. 366 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: They really are everywhere. We're talking to Kelly Shabaka. She 367 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: is a candidate for Alaska Senate. All right, So explain 368 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: what Buck and I were trying to make sense of 369 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: this ranked choice voting system. And obviously we are borderline 370 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: intelligent on this issue, and that's probably an exaggeration. We 371 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: don't really understand it that well. So today, is it 372 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: right that there will be four people who advance to 373 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: the general election? And if you are, people are listening 374 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: to us right now and they are big supporters of yours. 375 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: What's the best way to vote both now and in November. 376 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: From a ranked choice perspective, I can break it all 377 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: down super simple. Today, vote Kelly, and in November vote 378 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: Kelly number one. Leave the rest of your ballot blank. 379 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: The ballot will not be disqualified. You won't lose your vote. 380 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: And this is what's actually happened. Project Veritas exposed undercover 381 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: videos that Lisa Murkowski colluded with her campaign staff to 382 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: deceive Alaskans and manipulate this change in our election system 383 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: so she'd have some kind of a limited chance of 384 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: being able to maintain the forty one year Murkowski monarchy. 385 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: They hand down our Senate seat like a birthright, but 386 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't belong to the Murkowskis. It belongs to Alaska. 387 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: So what we're doing is fighting to get our Senate 388 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: seat back in the hands of Alaskans. She wouldn't win 389 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: this primary. If it was a party primary, her career 390 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: would be done today, but instead she wants to drag 391 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: it on to November, and I'm confident we're going to 392 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: retire her. The way that we do that is we 393 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: vote Kelly number one in November. If we get fifty 394 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: percent on round one, we win. Otherwise, what happens is 395 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: number four drops off, Number three drops off. Their subsequent 396 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: votes go and get resorted into person one in person two, 397 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: it'll be a head to head between me and Lisa Murkowski. 398 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you I've talked to thousands of Alaskans. 399 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: Even common sense Democrats are supporting us because they can't 400 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: line up with Joe Biden and Lisa Murkowski. So I 401 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: think we're gonna win this. We just have to wait 402 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: to November to do it. Okay, Kelly, that's important because 403 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there listening to us right 404 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: now are used to Republican primaries and Democrat primaries. If 405 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: you were running against Lisa Murkowski today for the Republican 406 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: nomination in Alaska, you would trounce her, right. That's absolutely correct. 407 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: She knows it. I know it. The data shows it. 408 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: That's why she had to manipulate a change in the 409 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: election system so she would survive. We're speaking to Kelly Shabaka. 410 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: The primary is today in Alaska. She's running for Senate there. 411 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: And Kelly, I see you're a Harvard lograd from two 412 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: thousand and two. Very impressive, by the way, the decision 413 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: by Murkowski to vote to impeach Donald Trump and to 414 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: maintain that she is a Republican who did this what 415 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 1: do you think her calculation was, Like, who is she 416 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: trying to please with that one? What game was she playing? 417 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: When you look at her rhetoric and the thing she's done, 418 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: I think she has a personal vendetta against Donald J. Trump, 419 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: whether he's a president or whether he's just a citizen. 420 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: The fact is, it's not a constitutional to impeach somebody 421 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: who's no longer holding office as president or in any 422 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: position in the government. It's just a personal vendetta for her. 423 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: But Lisa Rakowski can't really hold herself out as a 424 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 1: Republican when she's voting with Chuck Schumer twenty percent more 425 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: often than she votes with Ted Cruz, and when she's 426 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: voting with Joe Biden seventy percent or more of the time, 427 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: she's often that tie breaking vote on nominees or on 428 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: legislation for Joe Biden, just saving Kamala the walkdown Pennsylvania Avenue. 429 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: We all know up here in Alaska that she's not 430 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: a Republican. Our Republican Party has actually censured her and 431 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: removed her from membership. The only people who are still 432 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: pretending she's a Republican really is Mitch McConnell, And we 433 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: can't figure out why it gets up here in Alaska. 434 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: She looks like a Democrat, she talks like a Democrat, 435 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: she walks like a Democrat. Her campaign has run by 436 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: Democrats and funded by Democrat. That makes you, uh, that's right, 437 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: a Democrat. She's wondering, Kelly, that's what it is. Sarah 438 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: Palin's running in a congressional race up there. Any thoughts 439 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: on that one, just you know, she's somebody who really 440 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: put Alaska on the national political maps on years ago. 441 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: Any any thoughts at all? That one's going to be 442 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 1: a tight race. So that's to close and finish our 443 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: vacant congressional seat from when our congressman passed away earlier 444 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: this year, and that one's going to be decided today, 445 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: and she has a very tight race with another Republican 446 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: who has been endorsed by our Republican party. So we'll 447 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: see what happens up here. They're splitting the vote and 448 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: then there's a Democrat in that race and that's the 449 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: ring choice election, So we're going to see how that 450 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: plays out today. She's got a lot of support, but 451 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: so does her challenger, her Republican challenger. We'll see what happens. Kelly, 452 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: you got a law degree, is Buck just mentioned? I 453 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: do too, and we've talked a ton about this more 454 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: lago raid by the FBI. What was your reaction when 455 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: you heard it happened. You know something that Buck and 456 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: I share in common is our background in national security. 457 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: I spent over a decade doing oversight of the FBI. 458 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: I come from the watchdog world, so not only from 459 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: pass as a recovering lawyer, but my past is doing 460 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: oversight of the FBI. This is very disturbing. We're seeing 461 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: that there's violation of the equal treatment of law, and 462 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: we're seeing a concern here. At least we need to 463 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: ask questions why they didn't use least interestsive means, that's 464 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: our Fourth Amendment protection. We need to ask why didn't 465 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: they just enforced their subpoena to ask for documents instead 466 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: of going in with a warrant and invading a home 467 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: and flipping over things and looking in face and people's clothes. 468 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: These are the kind of questions we need to ask 469 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: because it looks like a politicization and weaponization of law 470 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: enforcement against political enemies and opponents, and you're not doing 471 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: that against other people who are political friends and allies, 472 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: and that's concerning. So it's time for Congress to ask 473 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: some hard questions. It's time to hold DJ and FBI 474 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: officials accountable, and there's lots of ways to do that. Kelly, 475 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: good luck today, good luck in November. I'm sure we'll 476 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: talk to you again. She is Kelly Shabaka. She is 477 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: running for the Alaskan Senate seat that is currently occupied 478 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: by Lisa Murkowski. Thank you for the time. Thanks, and 479 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: I make Kelly for AK dot com if people want 480 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 1: to learn more, have a great day. Thank you.

Closing out second hour, 505 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking with Alex Barrenson. Let me give 506 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: you a little preview for what I think. This conversation 507 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: with Alex Barrenson is so important and sometimes we can 508 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: ask him questions. But a lot of you may not 509 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: be familiar with this buck. I think I mentioned this 510 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: on Friday because Alex had it up on his sub stack. 511 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: So almost everybody out there under stands that China restricts 512 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: what its citizens are able to see on the Internet. 513 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: And obviously they have the historic Great Wall of China. 514 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: They have effectively built a Great Wall of China for 515 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: the Internet too, and they restrictive websites you can go 516 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: to which information opinions can be distributed. It really is 517 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,719 Speaker 1: all encompassing and it's being run by the government. What 518 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: has happened in the United States? Buck, and this is scary? 519 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: Is everyone out there listening to us right now? Even 520 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: most Democrats would say, Okay, the government deciding what you 521 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: can see on the Internet is a clear violation of 522 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: the First Amendment and state action and it shouldn't be occurring. 523 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: But what is occurring, and what Alex Barnson has got 524 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: literally written receipts of, is the Biden White House has 525 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: been putting pressure on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, you name it, 526 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 1: social media companies and saying why are these people allowed 527 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: to share these opinions? And so what we're ending up 528 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: with is a default American restriction of First Amendment speech 529 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: that is being led and cheerleaded by the Biden White House, 530 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: but implemented by Big tech companies, and so that nexus 531 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: has made it difficult to try to attack censorship there, 532 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: Did I make that understandable? I hope to everybody out 533 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: there who may not be active on social media and 534 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: you may not care, right, yes, I mean there are rules. 535 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: There are rules about the government, even even on the 536 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: intelligence community side. For example, you know, you can't pay 537 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: someone to do something on behalf of the government that 538 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: would be illegal for you to do, right, Yeah, that's 539 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: this is this is why. And otherwise we just say, hey, 540 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: we can't, we're not We're not. You know, they're torturing people, right, 541 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: I mean this and we never we wouldn't have to 542 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: go through the memo and all the water boarding and 543 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Right, So it's illegal to do something 544 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: to others that you and the government can't do yourself, 545 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: which obviously makes sense. But this is we'll see what 546 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to them about this in a minute. 547 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: What Alex Barrenson has here is the crossing of the 548 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: bright red line of the First Amendment by the federal government. 549 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: This is no longer Hey, they're implying that maybe there 550 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: should be more action taken, and as we know, the 551 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: federal government has enormous sticks and clubs to bring to 552 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: bear against any company that doesn't do their bidding. This 553 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: is swat that guy down, that individual private citizen. He's 554 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: saying stuff that hurts our agenda that we don't like. Yes, 555 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: so you know this is this is a huge, an 556 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: egregious first aim in violation. And I think the part 557 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: of this that's gonna be really interesting is Clay He's 558 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: not the only one. Yeah, there are others. It's just 559 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: a question of whether you can get the docks, which 560 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: is why him bringing this lawsuit. By the way I 561 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: saw in the lobby of Fox News yesterday, I think 562 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: we might have to ask him if he can dunk. 563 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: He's like six four. Do you know that he's a 564 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: big dude, surprising. I mean, he's not O'Reilly big. O'Reilly 565 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: could play center for the Knicks. But Barrenson's kind of 566 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: a big, surprisingly tall fellow. You know that's interesting. I 567 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: won't have to ask him what his basketball background was, 568 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: what he thinks about the NBA decided. I bet he's 569 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: got I bet he's got a nice jump shot and 570 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: can go left. I'm just throwing about Aleson's I think 571 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: Alex a pretty good sports fan if I remember. But 572 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: what he has is I believe it's Andy Slavitt, who 573 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 1: was one of the top advisors of the Biden White 574 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: House for COVID in a meeting with Twitter, wanted to 575 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: know why Alex Barrenson was being allowed to continue to 576 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: have a Twitter account, and shortly after that meeting, Alex 577 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: Barrenson was taken off of Twitter. So, look, this is 578 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: not what we talked about on this show. Buck. Remember 579 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: when the White House came out and Jen Saki lectured 580 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: everyone and said, hey, tech companies, you better be careful 581 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: what people are saying on your platforms. And then Joe 582 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,719 Speaker 1: Biden came out and said, you're killing people because of 583 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: the information that was there, which actually all ended up 584 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: being true by the way, So they were trying to 585 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: sense her accurate information because it conflicted with their preferred 586 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: media narrative. And we should probably mention it's only a 587 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: story because of the extreme hypocrisy in the Biden White House. 588 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: But Jill Biden, doctor Jill Biden, as all the left wingers, 589 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 1: what have you say? Has gotten four COVID shots and 590 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: she now has tested positive for COVID as well. She's 591 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: trying to kill our grandma's. But I have to remind 592 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: everybody that for about the first eighteen months of COVID, 593 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: there was this really despicable game that the lib media played, 594 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: whereby if you were opposed to masking eventually opposed to 595 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates when those came out, but opposed to lockdowns, 596 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: and you got COVID, it was always what did you do? 597 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: You know, maybe if you took the virus. This is 598 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: why we say things. If you follow Clay and me 599 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: on Twitter, we'll say things like should have taken the 600 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: virus more seriously because they made it to serve their 601 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: political purposes. They made getting COVID a moral failing and 602 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: one that was subjective, meaning when libs got COVID, it 603 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: was they did everything possible. Yea. When anyone else got COVID, 604 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: especially if you were vocal about opposting this stuff, it 605 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 1: was c that's what you get for not taking the virus. 606 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: And I always objected. The people would ask me, not 607 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: even trying to be mean, to say, you know, I 608 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: had it twice, you had it twice, say where'd you 609 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: get it? As if it's like a flat screen TV 610 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: that I picked up yesterday, It's like I don't know 611 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: where I got it. The number of people that are continued. 612 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: I think Lloyd Austin, the Defense Secretary, I think they 613 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,879 Speaker 1: announced yesterday he's had four shots, and now he's had 614 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: COVID a couple of times. The number of people that 615 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 1: have gotten four shots and are testing positive for COVID 616 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 1: is continuing to grow at such a rate. We talked 617 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: about yesterday the visor CEO, Albert Borla, I believe tested positive. 618 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,760 Speaker 1: Did you go through and read some more of those comments? 619 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: Pronuncia to roll off one of my favorite, the four condoms, 620 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: But my wife got pregnant anyway, I'm so glad I 621 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: used the four condoms. Is one of the funniest Internet 622 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: comments I've seen in a very long time. I just 623 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: love the fact that they have stopped protecting Maderna and 624 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: Fiser and Johnson and Johnson and the COVID shot because 625 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: for a long time you couldn't ridicule them. And what 626 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: I saw beneath the Borla is the masses are waking up. 627 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: There's a lot of sheep that have been running off 628 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: the side of a hill, a lot of limmings, I 629 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: should say, I guess that are suddenly saying, hey, maybe 630 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: running off the side of this hill just because everybody's 631 00:35:57,840 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: doing it is not this morning. You know, the lemming 632 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: thing is not true. The lemming thing is made up. 633 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: Lemmings do not run off a cliff to their death. 634 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 1: Maybe I'll get more into this is very this is 635 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: very interesting. Actually, lemmings for no reason. We've been slandering 636 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: lemmings for no reason. Lemmings not jump off cliffs. They 637 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: are actually a little furry animals that like to stay alive, 638 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: just like all others. And it goes back to a 639 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty eight Disney video Clay that won an Oscar 640 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: for Best Documentary, where the lemmings were jumping in the water. 641 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: It's all staged man kind of like the Marlago ring. No, 642 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: I can't believe that. Fleet Travis and Buck Sexton on 643 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,120 Speaker 1: the front lines of truth.
