WEBVTT - Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 07-07-22 0:00:11.657 --> 0:00:14.937 You're listening to the Buck Sexton Choke podcast, make sure 0:00:14.937 --> 0:00:17.937 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 0:00:17.977 --> 0:00:22.537 wherever you get your podcasts. A new study from the 0:00:22.577 --> 0:00:26.297 global think tank the World Resources Institute claims that unless 0:00:26.337 --> 0:00:29.777 Americans cut back on beef consumption, the world is going 0:00:29.817 --> 0:00:33.817 to see massive food shortages by twenty fifty. That's right, peasants, 0:00:33.897 --> 0:00:36.577 it's time to trade in your cheeseburger for a handful 0:00:36.577 --> 0:00:40.497 of crickets. Gross. I'll explain why this is nothing more 0:00:40.497 --> 0:00:44.777 than the same elatest population panic we've seen for over 0:00:44.817 --> 0:00:54.017 a century in tonight's old welcome to hold on, I'm 0:00:54.057 --> 0:00:57.257 Buck Sexton. They want you to put down your hamburger, folks. 0:00:57.337 --> 0:01:00.257 They want you to, of course, stop using fossil fuels, 0:01:00.937 --> 0:01:07.097 ride bicycles, take shorter showers. You'll notice, conservation is always 0:01:07.137 --> 0:01:11.297 at your costs, not there. Somehow, it's not even really conservation. 0:01:11.337 --> 0:01:14.537 It's actually just the reduction in your standard of living 0:01:14.577 --> 0:01:17.977 under the rubric up saving the planet, the water that 0:01:18.057 --> 0:01:21.937 you use, the air that you breathe, everything that you 0:01:22.017 --> 0:01:24.137 buy at the store that you need, all of that 0:01:24.377 --> 0:01:27.217 they want under their thumb. They want to control things. Well, 0:01:27.617 --> 0:01:31.217 my friends, here is a reality. They also want to 0:01:31.257 --> 0:01:34.977 control the burgers that you will eat. CNN headline, here 0:01:35.377 --> 0:01:38.617 to help save the planet cut back to a hamburger 0:01:39.057 --> 0:01:41.377 and a half per week. First of all, I'm just 0:01:41.377 --> 0:01:43.937 going to throw this out there. Who eats a half 0:01:43.937 --> 0:01:47.377 a hamburger a week? As in either one or two? Right, 0:01:47.817 --> 0:01:51.737 I'm not half hamburger guys running around, That's not really 0:01:51.737 --> 0:01:53.817 a thing, is it. Maybe you split one with your 0:01:53.857 --> 0:01:56.977 or your husband, your girlfriend, whatever. But anyway, here's from 0:01:56.977 --> 0:01:59.457 the CNN article, Americas will The Americans will need to 0:01:59.497 --> 0:02:03.057 cut their average consumption of beef by about forty percent 0:02:03.097 --> 0:02:05.977 and Europeans by twenty two percent for the world to 0:02:06.057 --> 0:02:08.457 continue to feed the ten billion people expecting to live 0:02:08.497 --> 0:02:10.777 on this planet in twenty fifty, according to a new 0:02:10.817 --> 0:02:15.177 report from the World Resources Institute. Goes on to say 0:02:15.217 --> 0:02:17.697 about nine point eight billion people will live on the 0:02:17.697 --> 0:02:20.137 planet by twenty fifty. That's up from seven billion people 0:02:20.137 --> 0:02:22.937 in twenty ten. Demand for food is projected to outpace 0:02:23.057 --> 0:02:26.937 population growth, increasing by more than fifty percent as people's 0:02:26.937 --> 0:02:30.097 incomes in the developing world are expected to increase, according 0:02:30.137 --> 0:02:33.897 to the report. Now, order and where did this all 0:02:33.937 --> 0:02:38.297 come from? This notion that we're just going to overpopulate 0:02:38.337 --> 0:02:41.137 the earth. There'll be too many human being and then 0:02:41.417 --> 0:02:43.777 we'll all run out of food, and so they'll be 0:02:43.857 --> 0:02:47.697 massive reductions and population because we won't be able to 0:02:47.737 --> 0:02:49.857 actually handle it. We won't be able to feed the 0:02:49.937 --> 0:02:54.457 massive population on this planet. It's not a new idea, 0:02:54.497 --> 0:02:58.617 and it's one that returns in cycles over time. You 0:02:58.617 --> 0:03:01.657 could even go back to Thomas Mouthless. He was an 0:03:01.657 --> 0:03:04.817 English cleric and a scholar the turn of the nineteenth century. 0:03:04.857 --> 0:03:08.417 He wrote an influential essay that claim that population growth 0:03:08.417 --> 0:03:12.497 would eventually outstrip food production, leading to mass starvation. Essentially, 0:03:12.977 --> 0:03:15.097 you're going to get to a point where there are 0:03:15.097 --> 0:03:17.297 so many people you can't feed the people you have, 0:03:17.417 --> 0:03:18.777 no matter what you do, and then you're gonna have 0:03:18.817 --> 0:03:21.177 massive die off until they get back down to the 0:03:21.257 --> 0:03:28.017 level that the earth can actually sustain. This might sound 0:03:28.177 --> 0:03:31.777 right if you could predict the future, if you knew 0:03:31.777 --> 0:03:36.457 where technology was going. But you can and they didn't, 0:03:36.897 --> 0:03:38.497 and so it was really wrong. But this is a 0:03:38.537 --> 0:03:43.857 graph that shows Malthus's theory in action. Population rises exponentially 0:03:43.857 --> 0:03:46.577 in outstrips food production. You see what he didn't think 0:03:46.577 --> 0:03:51.337 about was m maybe there will be more food production 0:03:51.617 --> 0:03:55.337 along with the more people, because one we'll just get 0:03:55.377 --> 0:03:59.777 better at making food, and two we'll just use more 0:03:59.777 --> 0:04:02.977 of the very abundant resources on this massive planet of 0:04:02.977 --> 0:04:05.737 ours to make more food. Right, we make the food 0:04:05.777 --> 0:04:07.457 for the people. We're not trying to make food to 0:04:07.497 --> 0:04:12.417 store and massive mass if silos that no one ever eats. Right, 0:04:12.457 --> 0:04:14.297 We're trying to feed the population we have. Of course 0:04:14.297 --> 0:04:16.257 there is some food storage. But you get what I'm saying. 0:04:16.897 --> 0:04:19.217 What was mouth is really all about? Well, his solution 0:04:19.577 --> 0:04:23.857 to this was essentially to kill off poor people. Yeah, 0:04:23.897 --> 0:04:26.497 it sounds like a libelite, doesn't he. We should facilitate 0:04:26.497 --> 0:04:31.417 the operations of nature in producing mortality. Instead of recommending 0:04:31.457 --> 0:04:35.137 cleanliness to the poor, we should encourage contrary habits in 0:04:35.217 --> 0:04:38.257 our towns. We should make the streets narrower, crowd more 0:04:38.257 --> 0:04:42.097 people into the houses, and court the return of the play. 0:04:43.097 --> 0:04:48.497 This English intellectual from just a few generations back, a 0:04:48.577 --> 0:04:52.857 very influential one at that, really believe that we should 0:04:53.417 --> 0:04:57.137 make life miserable for poor people so that they're living 0:04:57.137 --> 0:04:59.497 in filthy conditions, and maybe then the play will come 0:04:59.497 --> 0:05:01.097 back and kill them off, and then we'll have enough 0:05:01.137 --> 0:05:04.577 food for the middle class end more importantly, of course, 0:05:04.577 --> 0:05:06.777 the rich people to have. I mean, this is some 0:05:06.857 --> 0:05:10.897 crazy stuff, right, except it hasn't gone away from This 0:05:11.777 --> 0:05:15.577 is infused in the climate movement of today in so 0:05:15.617 --> 0:05:19.257 many ways. And the globalists, the global elite, the Davos set, 0:05:19.297 --> 0:05:21.657 they're always so worried about how we're going to feed 0:05:21.697 --> 0:05:25.217 the world and the drain on our resources and our climate. 0:05:25.297 --> 0:05:28.857 This is still going on now. You may have seen, 0:05:28.937 --> 0:05:33.057 for example, these Georgia guidestones, the Stonehenge of Georgia they 0:05:33.097 --> 0:05:37.337 call It's been around since nineteen seventy nine. There was 0:05:37.377 --> 0:05:39.777 an explosion and then they tore it down. Someone tried 0:05:39.817 --> 0:05:41.097 to blow this thing up and then it was so 0:05:41.137 --> 0:05:42.657 messed up they had to tear it down. I guess 0:05:42.697 --> 0:05:46.697 because it was unsafe to be around. Now, look, don't 0:05:46.697 --> 0:05:50.217 destroy property. It's not nice, but that's bad. That's suppose 0:05:50.217 --> 0:05:53.137 it destroyed property. That is a vandalism. But what was 0:05:53.217 --> 0:05:55.377 more interesting, I think as part of this story was 0:05:55.417 --> 0:05:58.337 when people found out about and maybe this, I mean, 0:05:58.617 --> 0:06:01.497 who knows what the real motivation was here. The ten 0:06:01.577 --> 0:06:06.377 principles on the Georgia Guidestone maintain humanity under five hundred 0:06:06.417 --> 0:06:12.017 million in perpetual balance with nature, guide reproduction wisely, improving 0:06:12.017 --> 0:06:18.297 fitness and diversity, unite humanity with a living new language, rule, passion, faith, tradition, 0:06:18.297 --> 0:06:21.097 all things. And it gets a little more boring below that. 0:06:22.457 --> 0:06:25.377 But being not a cancer on the earth, leave room 0:06:25.417 --> 0:06:29.017 for nature, Leave room for nature. There's a kind of 0:06:29.137 --> 0:06:33.137 environmentalist radicalism underpinning all this. In fact, there's a Malthusian 0:06:33.657 --> 0:06:36.937 go back to every buddy Thomas Malthis Malthusian ethos at 0:06:36.937 --> 0:06:40.257 work here. Five hundred million people, perpetual balance with it. 0:06:40.257 --> 0:06:43.137 Who says that's a perpetual balance five hundred million, but 0:06:43.217 --> 0:06:46.337 where it's seven billion right now? Right? So what am 0:06:46.337 --> 0:06:48.937 I missing here? So we're supposed to we're supposed to 0:06:49.017 --> 0:06:52.497 kill off six point five billion people, that's their idea, 0:06:52.737 --> 0:06:54.817 or just watch them all die or something. What are 0:06:54.817 --> 0:06:57.977 they really saying here, folks? There is, as I've said, 0:06:58.017 --> 0:07:00.777 not only in malenthusiasm, but also a nihilism and a 0:07:00.817 --> 0:07:05.857 desire for totalitarian control that is infused in these environmentalists 0:07:05.897 --> 0:07:09.657 and sustainability movement, so much so that not only the 0:07:09.737 --> 0:07:13.337 telling you to lay off the cheeseburgers, peasant, you don't 0:07:13.337 --> 0:07:15.897 need those cheeseburgers looking a little tubby anyway, right, that's 0:07:15.897 --> 0:07:18.577 what they're telling you. But they also want you to 0:07:18.617 --> 0:07:21.897 really consider seriously, because you know, got to be responsible 0:07:21.937 --> 0:07:24.937 stewards of the environment, that you should be eating bugs 0:07:25.657 --> 0:07:28.297 is from the World Economic Forum website. Five reasons why 0:07:28.337 --> 0:07:33.537 eating insects could reduce climate change. Time magazine says, they're healthy, 0:07:33.537 --> 0:07:37.017 they're sustainable, So why don't humans eat more bugs? CNN? 0:07:37.377 --> 0:07:39.777 The food that can feed and maybe save the planet 0:07:40.177 --> 0:07:42.977 bugs The Guardian. If we want to save the planet, 0:07:43.017 --> 0:07:47.777 the future of food is insect you know, libs. I 0:07:47.857 --> 0:07:50.337 just want to say, why don't you choke down a 0:07:50.377 --> 0:07:54.057 mouthful of cockroach first? You know, let's see them do it. 0:07:54.377 --> 0:07:58.137 Instead of Bill Gates walking around with his giant belly 0:07:58.577 --> 0:08:01.017 and his billions of dollars trying to control the whole 0:08:01.017 --> 0:08:03.617 planet telling everybody what they should be eating. I want 0:08:03.617 --> 0:08:06.177 to see Bill get on a treadmill. Okay, I don't 0:08:06.177 --> 0:08:08.297 really need advice from these people about how to live 0:08:08.377 --> 0:08:10.777 my life. But it's not just advice, it's control that 0:08:10.817 --> 0:08:13.257 they want. They want to tell you what you can 0:08:13.257 --> 0:08:16.417 and can't do, and they come up with these extremely 0:08:16.497 --> 0:08:22.097 grandiose convoluted and honestly insane theories in order to justify 0:08:22.217 --> 0:08:25.857 this level of control. This is behind the Biden administration 0:08:26.497 --> 0:08:30.257 pushing for all of these reductions in climate in emissions 0:08:30.257 --> 0:08:33.337 to protect a climate they say climate is an existential threat. 0:08:33.577 --> 0:08:37.137 This is behind the Dutch farmers being told they can't 0:08:37.217 --> 0:08:40.337 actually farm food anymore, or at least not the way 0:08:40.337 --> 0:08:43.897 they're used to, because of climate emissions. This is all 0:08:43.897 --> 0:08:48.857 about control and adherence to a religion that is actually nihilism. 0:08:48.897 --> 0:08:52.857 It's not really a religion. It's the complete destruction of 0:08:53.017 --> 0:08:56.617 meaning of humanity and replacing it with the earth. That's 0:08:56.617 --> 0:09:00.057 what matters. Not humanity nor the Earth is here for us, 0:09:00.097 --> 0:09:04.537 humanity's playground. Deal with it, libs. All right. President Biden 0:09:04.537 --> 0:09:07.897 continues to struggle with the out of control inflation situation. 0:09:08.057 --> 0:09:10.417 We come back, Carol Markowitz going to break that down 0:09:10.457 --> 0:09:13.737 for us, the raging dumpster fire that is the Buiden economy. 0:09:14.097 --> 0:09:16.337 Permon you are.

We'll be right back with more. 0:10:10.097 --> 0:10:18.777 Hold the line. President Biden is struggling to get a 0:10:18.817 --> 0:10:21.977 handle on soaring inflation, so much so that members of 0:10:21.977 --> 0:10:24.737 his own party seem to be viewing him as political kryptonite. 0:10:25.017 --> 0:10:27.937 Do Democratic candidates in Ohio even declining to share the 0:10:28.017 --> 0:10:30.417 stage with him at an event in Cleveland. In a 0:10:30.497 --> 0:10:32.657 recent op ed, New York Post, comms Karl Mark Whitz 0:10:32.657 --> 0:10:37.017 says that Biden's economy is a flaming dumpster fire, writing 0:10:37.377 --> 0:10:40.657 as a stock market continues to tank, inflation stays high, 0:10:40.697 --> 0:10:43.297 and people really feel the crunch. Many experts think a 0:10:43.337 --> 0:10:46.177 recession is on the horizon. The ship needs to be 0:10:46.177 --> 0:10:48.697 turned around, but the president first needs to recognize that 0:10:48.737 --> 0:10:53.097 he's set sail at all. Yep, I agree, He joins 0:10:53.137 --> 0:10:55.577 me on our discuss Carol Mark. Who's good to see Carol. 0:10:55.577 --> 0:10:59.217 What's up, Hi, Buck? Thanks for having me. I gotta say, 0:10:59.257 --> 0:11:02.537 it's always a bad sign when your side of things, 0:11:03.217 --> 0:11:06.617 as we're seeing with this White House, kind of changes. 0:11:06.697 --> 0:11:10.257 The messaging feels like almost every day. Some days it's 0:11:10.737 --> 0:11:13.617 the economy is actually great, you know, you stupid peasants 0:11:13.617 --> 0:11:17.377 stopped complaining about gas. Other days it's we've done an 0:11:17.377 --> 0:11:21.697 amazing job with the employment situation, so don't complain about 0:11:21.737 --> 0:11:25.097 how inflation super high. And then it's putin's price high. 0:11:25.217 --> 0:11:27.897 Maybe things aren't so great. You know which one is it? 0:11:28.057 --> 0:11:31.577 And I just wonder, I mean, I'm still holding on 0:11:31.617 --> 0:11:34.417 to that sixteenth cents we saved last fourth of July. 0:11:34.977 --> 0:11:38.297 But yeah, you know, it's funny because when the Biden 0:11:38.297 --> 0:11:43.097 administration points to successes, like unemployment is very low, that 0:11:43.297 --> 0:11:45.897 is because of them. But when there's something wrong, like 0:11:45.937 --> 0:11:48.817 the gas prices are very high, that's because of somebody else. 0:11:49.097 --> 0:11:52.697 It's really quite convenient. And you know, I think that 0:11:53.057 --> 0:11:55.417 you know, what we have going on with this administration 0:11:55.497 --> 0:11:57.177 is that they don't know what they think. They don't 0:11:57.177 --> 0:11:59.817 know what they're supposed to be doing, and they get 0:11:59.977 --> 0:12:03.057 mocked by people like the Chinese state media. And it's 0:12:03.137 --> 0:12:05.417 scary to watch because the president is out to lunch, 0:12:05.417 --> 0:12:08.497 so we have no idea what is actually thinking. Last 0:12:08.577 --> 0:12:12.377 night in Cleveland, for example, I didn't hold supporters that 0:12:12.937 --> 0:12:15.817 you know, they're they're doing some work on inflation or 0:12:15.857 --> 0:12:18.257 something watched. We got a long way to go because 0:12:18.897 --> 0:12:23.217 because of the I call it the Putin tax increase. 0:12:23.497 --> 0:12:27.137 The third reason I ran was to unify the country. 0:12:27.297 --> 0:12:29.657 Do you unify it? That's been the harder part of 0:12:29.657 --> 0:12:33.817 it right now. No, I'm serious, because we've become so divided. 0:12:35.577 --> 0:12:38.617 I mean, it's stunning. He really it feels to me 0:12:38.697 --> 0:12:41.337 like the Biden White House now the pitches just to 0:12:42.297 --> 0:12:45.057 really dumb people or people who are living in total denial. 0:12:45.097 --> 0:12:47.977 I mean, this Putin price hike thing, no one really 0:12:48.017 --> 0:12:52.057 believes that's what's going on. No, nobody believes that's what's 0:12:52.057 --> 0:12:55.817 going on because gas prices were going up before Putin 0:12:55.857 --> 0:12:59.417 invaded Ukraine. So no, of course it doesn't make any sense. 0:12:59.457 --> 0:13:02.257 And you know, the actual scary thing to me was 0:13:02.297 --> 0:13:07.217 when the White House Twitter account tweeted that the gas 0:13:07.217 --> 0:13:09.937 station should be reducing the prices, and it's just like, 0:13:10.097 --> 0:13:13.817 if the president really believes that the individual gas stations 0:13:13.817 --> 0:13:16.817 are setting these prices, that's that's terrifying to me. Buff 0:13:17.017 --> 0:13:19.057 I mean, it's just econ one oh one that they 0:13:19.057 --> 0:13:22.097 don't seem to grasp. And then again the Chinese media 0:13:22.497 --> 0:13:24.857 weighing in on this and saying, well, look, the president 0:13:24.937 --> 0:13:30.257 finally believes that capitalism is you know, just a bad thing. 0:13:30.537 --> 0:13:33.857 And it's kind of scary to watch. I mean, you 0:13:33.937 --> 0:13:39.097 mentioned Biden talking about gas stations and the messaging from 0:13:39.097 --> 0:13:41.897 this White House on the gas beating up on gas stations. 0:13:41.897 --> 0:13:43.937 I mean this should be like, you know, beating up 0:13:44.057 --> 0:13:47.457 on Delhi's and Bodegas for the price for the price 0:13:47.497 --> 0:13:50.777 of Eggs. It's like, well, if it's gone up everywhere else, 0:13:50.857 --> 0:13:53.137 guess what, it's going to go up with them too. 0:13:53.817 --> 0:13:55.857 But here he is. Here is his tweet. My message 0:13:55.857 --> 0:13:58.257 to the company is running gas stations and setting prices 0:13:58.257 --> 0:14:00.417 at the pump is simple. This is a time of 0:14:00.457 --> 0:14:03.457 war and global peril. Bring down the price you are 0:14:03.577 --> 0:14:05.777 charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're paying 0:14:05.777 --> 0:14:10.057 for the product, and do it now? Does the president 0:14:10.217 --> 0:14:12.017 not understand that a business has to make a profit 0:14:12.097 --> 0:14:14.377 or else it goes out of business? Like? Is he 0:14:14.577 --> 0:14:17.977 so stupid? And I actually I wonder because I've always 0:14:17.977 --> 0:14:20.657 thought Joe Biden was dumb, and actually Democrats used to 0:14:20.697 --> 0:14:22.377 admit that he's just not a smart guy. He's never 0:14:22.457 --> 0:14:24.577 been a smart man. But he's kind of like an actor. 0:14:24.617 --> 0:14:26.977 He says the required lines, he looks the part. And 0:14:27.017 --> 0:14:30.377 so he was a center from Delaware, right, who cares? 0:14:31.737 --> 0:14:33.577 But maybe he is so stupid that he thinks a 0:14:33.657 --> 0:14:36.617 business can just charge what they actually pay for the 0:14:36.697 --> 0:14:40.737 product to consumers and still be a business. I like 0:14:40.857 --> 0:14:44.057 that all these Twitter users started writing to like Lamborghini 0:14:44.097 --> 0:14:46.337 and Chanel and saying like, bring down the price of 0:14:46.377 --> 0:14:49.737 your product right now? You know in a joking passion 0:14:50.057 --> 0:14:54.697 attendance tweet, I'm in for some chanel, you know, price reductions. 0:14:55.017 --> 0:14:57.697 Joe Biden can make that happen for us. But yeah, 0:14:57.857 --> 0:15:00.537 it's it's it's as if he doesn't understand that oil 0:15:00.657 --> 0:15:02.937 is sold on the global market. It is not something 0:15:02.977 --> 0:15:05.217 that the individual gas station at the end of your 0:15:05.217 --> 0:15:08.297 block sets the price on. It is not something that 0:15:08.337 --> 0:15:11.777 they can control and absolute these and you know, where 0:15:11.817 --> 0:15:14.937 were they when nobody was driving, when nobody was flying, 0:15:14.977 --> 0:15:16.977 and these gas stations were not making money. I mean, 0:15:17.017 --> 0:15:19.057 when the oil companies were not making money. It wasn't 0:15:19.097 --> 0:15:21.977 quite as much quite a concern at that point. And 0:15:22.577 --> 0:15:26.297 it's just again, it's like baffling to watch this administration 0:15:26.697 --> 0:15:30.057 make these calls and have these tweets, because it really 0:15:30.057 --> 0:15:34.497 shows an administration adrift and really with no bearings of 0:15:34.657 --> 0:15:38.417 what's actually happening. Who you know, it's funny. I've talked 0:15:38.417 --> 0:15:40.537 to Clay on this about radio a lot on our 0:15:40.617 --> 0:15:43.777 radio show, and it's I do think it's instructive here 0:15:44.017 --> 0:15:47.497 because as much as I disagreed with a lot of 0:15:47.817 --> 0:15:51.257 I'm pretty much all of Obama administration policy, but you know, 0:15:51.377 --> 0:15:54.097 I thought they were wrong on things. There were some 0:15:54.177 --> 0:15:56.777 people in that administration, at the senior levels in that 0:15:56.817 --> 0:15:59.737 White House who I would admit were smart. I think 0:15:59.777 --> 0:16:02.577 they were wrong, but they were smart and had some 0:16:02.657 --> 0:16:05.257 degree of competence and capability. I just think they were 0:16:05.297 --> 0:16:10.737 pursuing the wrong policies in this Biden white House. I 0:16:10.777 --> 0:16:13.017 actually I think it's really the b team. And I'm wondering, 0:16:13.057 --> 0:16:15.617 you know, do you do you see anybody here? You go, 0:16:15.657 --> 0:16:18.577 you know that person. That person would be apart from 0:16:18.617 --> 0:16:21.817 whether you agree with them, could be in any presidential administration. 0:16:21.857 --> 0:16:24.377 Like I feel like this is this is like the 0:16:24.417 --> 0:16:26.337 streams who never do the reading for the class and 0:16:26.377 --> 0:16:29.377 they're making all the they're making all the decisions. Do 0:16:29.417 --> 0:16:32.537 you mean our vice president here? Yeah? Absolutely, I think 0:16:32.577 --> 0:16:34.337 that they're I think none of them have done the 0:16:34.417 --> 0:16:37.537 reading and they always come off it's sort of unprepared. Again, 0:16:37.577 --> 0:16:39.697 I think when you when you talk about the economy 0:16:39.817 --> 0:16:42.737 and you don't have any care about what the people 0:16:42.777 --> 0:16:44.257 are going through. I mean, we saw this a lot 0:16:44.257 --> 0:16:47.537 with Jen Saki when she was just she'd make comments like, oh, 0:16:47.657 --> 0:16:50.417 the tragedy of the treadmill or all the other comments 0:16:50.457 --> 0:16:53.457 about just inflation or people not being able to get 0:16:53.457 --> 0:16:56.417 the items that they need. There's just there's no connection 0:16:56.457 --> 0:17:00.217 to the American people where they understand our pain. I 0:17:00.297 --> 0:17:03.577 think you're absolutely right. With the Obama administration, at least 0:17:03.577 --> 0:17:06.497 you felt like when things were not going their way, 0:17:06.497 --> 0:17:09.217 that they were aware of it. This administration just pretends 0:17:09.217 --> 0:17:13.217 it's not happening. It seems delusional art up. Yeah, it 0:17:13.297 --> 0:17:15.097 seems like they're really delusion. By the way, you mentioned this. 0:17:15.177 --> 0:17:18.657 The Chinese state affiliated media saw the Biden tweet. The 0:17:18.737 --> 0:17:21.577 China Daily EU bureau chief tweeted back at the president. 0:17:22.057 --> 0:17:25.737 Now US president finally realized that capitalism is all about exploitation. 0:17:25.857 --> 0:17:29.497 He didn't believe this before. That's pretty awesome. I gotta say, 0:17:30.777 --> 0:17:33.577 it's just it's it's scary, and this is what we're 0:17:33.697 --> 0:17:36.177 what we're dealing with. And you know, Trump got a 0:17:36.177 --> 0:17:39.137 lot of criticism when he was president about us being 0:17:39.217 --> 0:17:41.297 mocked on the world stage. I mean, this is worse 0:17:41.377 --> 0:17:44.577 than a lot of the mockery that the Trump administration received. 0:17:44.577 --> 0:17:47.897 I don't like the Chinese state media pointing out that 0:17:47.937 --> 0:17:50.577 our president doesn't seem to understand the capitalism is the 0:17:50.617 --> 0:17:54.017 best system to have ever existed. And you know, it's 0:17:54.057 --> 0:17:57.017 just it's again. It's scary to watch and I am 0:17:57.737 --> 0:18:01.537 genuinely baffled by the behavior of this administration on the 0:18:01.577 --> 0:18:06.537 world stage. Yeah, Mark, Whit's always on point. Thanks for 0:18:06.617 --> 0:18:09.057 joining us. Where are you creat is now? It's fifth 0:18:09.057 --> 0:18:12.457 month and the administration has begun to talk endgame. We'll 0:18:12.497 --> 0:18:13.897 have more on that with the senior fellow at the 0:18:13.897 --> 0:18:17.617 Foundation for Defensive Democracy, Bill Roggio, coming up. But I 0:18:17.617 --> 0:18:19.777 want to talk to you about protecting your most valuable asset, 0:18:19.817 --> 0:18:21.537 your home. I don't know if you saw this, but 0:18:21.577 --> 0:18:23.377 there was a recent story about an Arizona real estate 0:18:23.417 --> 0:18:25.537 agent and found out the home she lived in was 0:18:25.577 --> 0:18:28.457 for sale. Problem was, she wasn't actually selling her home. 0:18:28.537 --> 0:18:30.697 She was the victim of home title fraud, a devastating 0:18:30.697 --> 0:18:33.977 crime happening all over the country. According to the expert 0:18:34.017 --> 0:18:36.417 at home Title Lock, the crime is incredibly profitable and 0:18:36.457 --> 0:18:39.377 hard to detect. An identity thief simply creates a fake 0:18:39.417 --> 0:18:41.857 title transfer for your home and refiles as the new owner. 0:18:42.657 --> 0:18:44.417 Then you can take out loans on your home or 0:18:44.497 --> 0:18:47.577 sell it. Typical identity theft services don't cover you neither. 0:18:47.617 --> 0:18:51.257 There's homeowners insurance. Home title lock does home tutle Louck 0:18:51.297 --> 0:18:53.897 puts a barrier around your home's title. The instant they 0:18:53.897 --> 0:18:56.617 detect anyone champer with your home's title, they help shut 0:18:56.657 --> 0:18:58.617 it down and help get your home back in your name. 0:18:58.897 --> 0:19:00.697 So here's what you should do. But at hometuttle loock 0:19:00.737 --> 0:19:03.937 dot com. Read the testimonials from FBI agents and government officials. 0:19:04.257 --> 0:19:06.577 Then register your address to see if you're already a 0:19:06.617 --> 0:19:08.897 victim and don't even know it.

That's home titlelock 0:19:15.097 --> 0:19:23.337 dot com. Bill Roggio up next, Stay with us. The 0:19:23.337 --> 0:19:25.577 war in Ukraine is now in its fifth month, and 0:19:25.737 --> 0:19:28.857 any hope of a quick resolution to the conflict has vanished. 0:19:29.377 --> 0:19:31.777 Last week, President Biden announced get another eight hundred and 0:19:31.817 --> 0:19:34.937 twenty million dollar aid package to the embattled nation, even 0:19:34.977 --> 0:19:39.017 as the administration itself is tempering expectations. Last week, US 0:19:39.097 --> 0:19:42.737 Director of National Intelligence Avril Haynes laid out three scenarios 0:19:43.057 --> 0:19:46.297 for how the conflict could end. Some far less optimistic 0:19:46.497 --> 0:19:48.737 than the US had initially hoped for. You were to 0:19:48.777 --> 0:19:50.977 bring some more insight, A senior fellot the Foundation for 0:19:50.977 --> 0:19:54.417 Defensive democracies, Bill Rogio, Bill, always good to see it. 0:19:54.417 --> 0:19:56.937 Thanks for being with us, Thanks for having me bub 0:19:57.177 --> 0:19:58.857 All right, so before we get to the scenarios laid 0:19:58.857 --> 0:20:01.457 out by d and I Haines, what are things looking 0:20:01.497 --> 0:20:04.017 like right now on the ground in Ukraine? Not a 0:20:04.017 --> 0:20:08.817 lot of reporting about it. Yeah, there's the Russians took 0:20:08.857 --> 0:20:13.377 control of the duties the Chunk and Seferdines, so they've 0:20:13.497 --> 0:20:17.977 essentially consolidated control full control of Luhan Province. That's one 0:20:18.017 --> 0:20:20.577 of the two provinces that make up the don Bas region, 0:20:20.937 --> 0:20:23.657 the other Janettes. That's the Russians are on the move there. 0:20:24.897 --> 0:20:26.737 You know, Look, we keep hearing that. You know, the 0:20:26.817 --> 0:20:31.217 Russians don't have morale, they're losing equipment, they're losing men 0:20:31.257 --> 0:20:33.377 at a rapid case, and yet they're still advancing on 0:20:33.417 --> 0:20:38.017 the ground. Today they're advancing towards a small city called Severesk, 0:20:38.017 --> 0:20:40.257 and they're moving to look to take on the last 0:20:40.257 --> 0:20:44.817 two major cities in Dante Province. Whether the Ukrainians them 0:20:44.937 --> 0:20:47.737 or not, I think after what we witnessed this Russian 0:20:47.737 --> 0:20:51.777 offenses in the last two months, it's grinding, but it's effective. 0:20:51.817 --> 0:20:54.737 It's brutally effective. This is what I affected them to 0:20:54.817 --> 0:20:57.457 do in Kiv, and they tried to do a lightning 0:20:57.457 --> 0:21:01.337 assault and it seems the Russians debris organize. The reporting 0:21:01.417 --> 0:21:04.737 has become from Ukraine on the Ukrainian side has become 0:21:04.737 --> 0:21:07.657 a lot more grim, a lot. It was very hopeful 0:21:07.697 --> 0:21:10.617 two months ago after the Battle of Kiev, and now 0:21:10.697 --> 0:21:12.977 things now that we're talking, you know again, you have 0:21:13.057 --> 0:21:17.697 the National Director of Intelligence talking about something we discussed 0:21:17.697 --> 0:21:21.497 that months ago, about these three scenarios and that two 0:21:21.497 --> 0:21:25.137 of them are not very good. So now let's look 0:21:25.137 --> 0:21:27.777 at these scenarios that have been laid out in this 0:21:28.017 --> 0:21:29.777 I think it was a was it a leaked assessment 0:21:29.817 --> 0:21:32.537 bill that everyone's reporting on now or at least some 0:21:32.617 --> 0:21:35.577 assessment the government has um? What can you tell us 0:21:35.577 --> 0:21:39.137 about that? Yeah, you know, that's I'm not sure how 0:21:39.177 --> 0:21:42.097 this came out. I thought it was publicum. But yet 0:21:42.217 --> 0:21:46.337 basically the Director of National Security arbro Haines said that, 0:21:46.457 --> 0:21:49.217 you know, look AT's three things, that there's three outcomes here. 0:21:49.337 --> 0:21:51.937 The first could be the Russians can break through and 0:21:52.097 --> 0:21:55.577 take even more territory in Ukraine, and I think that's 0:21:55.577 --> 0:21:57.297 what we're seeing now. Everyone thought they were going to 0:21:57.337 --> 0:22:01.017 hold the Russians at Saint Paris. Once that front broke, 0:22:01.057 --> 0:22:05.497 the Russians advanced a pretty significant amount of territory. The 0:22:05.537 --> 0:22:08.057
