00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, everybody. Welcome to the Clay Travis and Buck

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: Sexton Show. I'm back from Sunny Saint Louis. Great to

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: see a lot of you out there. Thank you for

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: coming out to the event last night. I'm in solo today,

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: play on a much deserved vacation with the missus. I

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: told them that Clay needs to experience his first professional

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: massage of his life, as he is going to a

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,319
Speaker 2: place where there is a spa. We will see if

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: that happened. Play. The people have made their wishes known.

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: We have to see if you are, in fact a

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: massage guy, massage officionado. I will say I actually didn't

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: know that spa like going to the spa was named

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,639
Speaker 2: for the city in Belgium, which is a place where

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: there are hot springs and people used to go to convalesce.

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: I didn't know that until I don't know, last year

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: or so. So It's crazy how we don't learn things.

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: But there's a lot to learn today from the news cycle.

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: First off, we have a We didn't get into this

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: earlier in the week, and I wanted to a federal

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: judge has had blocked the Florida law that ends child

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: sex transition, surgery and hormones. I want to discuss that

24
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: with you. In New York City still going with its

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: plan to house migrants from in private homes. According to

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: Eric Adams, but this is also interesting to me. New

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: York has joined a number of other cities that have

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: decided to sue the car makers Hyundai and Kia out

29
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: of South Korea because they've made cars too easy to steal.

30
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: This is what the Democrat metropolisies have been relegated to.

31
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: Now they have to actually sue the car company. It's

32
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: too easy to steal your car. It's your fault. I

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe they should sue the companies back and

34
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: or sue the cities back and say how about you

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: enforce the law and there'll be fewer criminals running around

36
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: doing all of this. Speaking of criminals, also, the Lulu

37
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: Lemon CEO has doubled down on the firing of two

38
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: employees who tried to intervene during a mass shoplifting event.

39
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: This isn't someone with pulling one shirt off the rack

40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: and trying to stuff it somewhere where no one will

41
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: see this is just walking into a store, filling bags

42
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: with expensive merchandise and walking out because nothing will happen.

43
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: And the CEO of this ath leisure company, Lulu Lemon,

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: has said, yeah, that's right, You're not not allowed to

45
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: do anything about it, which is now increasingly. This is

46
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: the demand the Democrats have of you. This is the

47
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: demand that they make. But we'll get into some of that. Also,

48
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: want to take a lot of your calls today eight

49
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: hundred to eight A two got some Chris Christy throwing

50
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: punches in the presidential race. You can hear what Chris

51
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: Christie says, decide for yourself whether you find any of

52
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: it worthwhile or not. We have reached out to I

53
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: have to assume there's a campaign. We've reached out to

54
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: his people. We're waiting to hear back. We've reached out

55
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: to Nicki Haley's people. I believe she will be joining

56
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: us at some point. We've had vivek on If there's

57
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: anyone that you think we need to have on, please

58
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: let us know from the presidential primary side of things,

59
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: because I think it's important for all of you to hear.

60
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: I had some people last night telling me in person

61
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: they want. They want us to have RFK Junior back

62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: on for a more extensive Oh, Nicky is joining us

63
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. That's great, we have RFK Junior join us.

64
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: I had an appointment, so Clay had to handle that

65
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: interview solo. But this time, I promise you, if we

66
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: have RK on RFK Junior on, I would be there

67
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: to ask because I have a lot of questions. People

68
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: keep asking me, what do you think, what do you

69
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: think about an RFK unity take it with Trump? Or

70
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: what do you think about a third way? Or is

71
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: he going to shake things up? And I say, all

72
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: I really know right now is he's right on COVID

73
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: issues pretty much top to bottom. And he's been more

74
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: honest and forthright and write longer on that than almost

75
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: anybody else in the political game I can think of.

76
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: I mean, there are a few others who are closed,

77
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: but he's been very good on that. Beyond that, I'd

78
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: have to look and see and ask. But see, that's

79
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: the great thing we can do that we all get

80
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: to learn here together. These people who want tremendous power,

81
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: who want to lead the country, or even just lead

82
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: the conversation in the country. This show gives them an

83
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: opportunity to tell all of you millions of American voters

84
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: what it is that they really stand for, and you

85
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: get to make your own decision as to whether or

86
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: not you think they're being honest with you or they

87
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: straight up will they get the job done? How are

88
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: they doing? Something Else's top of mind for me right now,

89
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: which this isn't something I thought I would come in

90
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: today talking about. But you may have seen Elliott Page.

91
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: Elliott Page is an actor who was an act is

92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: an actress who now is a transgender male, a female

93
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: who has had top surgery cut her cut her hair

94
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: very short. You probably know her best from the movie Juno.

95
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: In fact, the only thing I've ever seen her in

96
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 2: was movie You Know, where she plays a pregnant woman.

97
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: And it's worth noting that she played a pregnant woman

98
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: who ended up having the baby, and that alone, because

99
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: there was some consternation in the film about whether she

100
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: should actually have the child. That alone got a lot

101
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: of criticism from the left. What do you mean she

102
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: had a baby that wasn't planned, so, you know, demonic

103
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: and monstrous, But that's a different conversation. She is out

104
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: there as the I think right now the most famous

105
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: Hollywood female to male transition individual, I think, the most

106
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: famous female to male trans Hollywood person. And she's given

107
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: this interview where she says that someone attacked her outside

108
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: a Los Angeles hotel. It was a while ago too,

109
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: this is not recent, and said I'm going to bleeping

110
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: gay bash you. That's the quote. Now, this is just

111
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: I think everyone realizes a step away in terms of

112
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: the plausibility when you hear this. Of the individuals who

113
00:06:53,440 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: we found out later were two aspiring Nigerian actors. But

114
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: Jesse Smolette told us that these two men in I

115
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: think they were specially wearing Maga hats at the time,

116
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: but they yelled this is Maga Country on the streets

117
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: of Chicago at two o'clock in the morning. Now, you

118
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: could argue that there are a lot of parts of

119
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: the country that maybe do feel quite maga, but I

120
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: don't think that that's something that anybody would be shouting

121
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: on the streets of Chicago in particular. You know, I

122
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: don't think anyone's running around yelling in Brooklyn this is

123
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: Maga country. The whole thing. It was so absurd from

124
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: the start, which is why I even go back and

125
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: check this. When I was doing a radio six to

126
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: nine for Premier Networks, I had a podcast. I mean

127
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: the title of the show, which is the title of

128
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: the podcast, Jesse Smolette is lying to you. It was

129
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: like the first week that thing came out. But I

130
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 2: bring up the Elliott which we all know now is true.

131
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: It's true to the point of it's shocking that anybody

132
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: went along with it, But there were a lot of

133
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 2: people who did, including Kamala Harris. Remember that, Oh Jesse Smolette,

134
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: the greatest guy. Horrible, this thing happened to him, you know,

135
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: the attack on the street. Anyway, so Elliott Page says this,

136
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: No one brought it up at the time. But why

137
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: do I care enough to talk to you about this?

138
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: Why do I care enough to bring this up with you,

139
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: because usually celebrities saying things that are untrue or dumb,

140
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: or a combination of the two is not really news. Well,

141
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: because you'll notice there is a wave of hysteria now

142
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: because for the first time, the trans agenda of the

143
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: Democrat Party. I don't even think it should really just

144
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: be referred to as the agenda of the left, because

145
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: it's the Democrat Party. The trans agenda of the Democrat

146
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: Party has come up against legal resistance in some states.

147
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: It has come up against some states that have passed

148
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: law saying when it comes to children, we are not

149
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: going to allow under the guise of medicine. Where does

150
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: this medical procedure that they're doing on children? How many

151
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 2: years of study have they done, what are the long

152
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: term implications and what's really going on here? No, no, no,

153
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 2: Suddenly it is the standard of care for some young

154
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: person who is having a psychological and identity crisis, and

155
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: there's pushback. There's finally meaningful pushback, which is why you

156
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: now have the hysteria coming out. Now is a moment

157
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm some of you are going to tell me. Also,

158
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: Ellen Page has a book that has just launched. What

159
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: a great way to get publicity. You claim that there

160
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: was a someone yelling, yelling hateful things at you, and

161
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: the Human Rights Campaign yesterday declared, for the first time

162
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: in its over forty years of operation, the Human Rights

163
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: Campaign has said that there is a state of a

164
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: urgency right now for LGBTQ plus Americans. It has issued

165
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 2: a guidebook alongside this warning because they want people to

166
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: be safe when traveling to places in the country that don't.

167
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: Florida is one of them. Let's just be that they've

168
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: attacked Florida. We've seen what was it, Senior, Remember the

169
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: NAACP attack Florida. Now the Human rights campaign saying for

170
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: LGBTQ plus people, there are places you can't go and

171
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: can't be safe. Notice the extent they're willing to go to.

172
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: The hysteria around stopping miners from making life altering body

173
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: mutilation surgery, and also the hormones. You know, the hormones

174
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: that people are taking. Can They'll say, oh, some of

175
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: it is reversible. They don't know really what it does

176
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: to someone over the long time, over the long term.

177
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: But because that is not just treated as though it

178
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: is the next great civil rights struggle of our era

179
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: by everybody in the country, because there are parents out

180
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 2: there in particular, say my thirteen year old is being

181
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 2: told to do this by school. Basically that's the most

182
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: commonplace that it happens. And I don't want the state

183
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: to weigh in and say that this is now gender

184
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: affirming care. I'd also have a question for all the

185
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: people who push this stuff. If it's gender affirming care

186
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 2: for the transition, what is it when there's the D transition.

187
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: Is that gender d affirming? How does that work gender negating?

188
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: Have they figured that one out? Anyone who says that's

189
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: not a problem or an issue doesn't know what they're

190
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: talking about or is lying to you. There's a Navy

191
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: seal Kristin Beck. Now Chris Beck was always Chris Back,

192
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: became Christen Beck. I believe now Chris Beck. I saw

193
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: him recently on a podcas detransition. This is the biggest

194
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: mistake of his life, his life. Yeah, how much you

195
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: heard about that in the mainstream media? And that was

196
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: an adult, that was an elite warrior, that was somebody

197
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: who was having a psychological crisis. Do you hear anything

198
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: about it if it's gender affirming? Care? I need some

199
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: of the talking heads who are so depraved and just

200
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: remorseless about this. I mean, think about some of the

201
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: people that are pushing this. Do any of you really

202
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: think that Joe Scarborough and Mika really believe that fourteen

203
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: year old should be trying to mess with their genders.

204
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: Nobody really thinks they believe that. But will they say

205
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: that on MSNBC because the latte drinking audience of libs

206
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: wants to hear it. Yes, does it matter that this

207
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: affects the perception nationally when CNN and The New York

208
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: Times and MS we'll talk more about CNN later, that

209
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: place is in total free fall. Yay? But does it

210
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: matter when all of this is going on to the No,

211
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: they don't care about the paycheck, just about the ratings.

212
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: Really more just about the paycheck because these are all

213
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: corporate media institutions that they can decide even if you

214
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: have bad ratings, if you're singing the right tune, they

215
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: can keep you around. But there's so much dishonesty. There's

216
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: so so much obvious propaganda around this issue, and I've

217
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: never heard anyone explain that. What do they say about

218
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: the A D transition? How can you be affirming a

219
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: gender that was yours since birth, you just didn't know

220
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: it until you were a teenager or adulthood, and then

221
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: have the reality that a pretty good percentage actually realized

222
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: that was a mistake. So what was the affirmation If

223
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: the affirmation was wrong, why is this important? Well, when

224
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: you're fifteen and you don't know anything about anything, really,

225
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: you shouldn't be making decisions that you have to look

226
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: back on the rest of your life with tremendous regret

227
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 2: because medical professionals were too cowardly to do anything for you.

228
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: Your own parents either pushed it, which does happen sometimes.

229
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: It just saw she's an actress from Transformers as a

230
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: photo going around everywhere. She's got three young boys. I

231
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: guess their ages, I don't know. Look like they're eight,

232
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: ten and twelve. I'm not sure what there a drubs

233
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: something like that, all dress and present as girls. Megan Fox?

234
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: Is that Megan Fox? Megan Fox? Yeah, photos, three boys

235
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: all think they're girls. Does anyone think that that's because

236
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: maybe that particular parent is a lib who has adopted

237
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: this and pushed this on our own children as a lifestyle,

238
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: as a fashion that makes her feel good about herself. Okay, well,

239
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: if you don't believe that, what are the statistics, What

240
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: are the chances three for three all three boys? I

241
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: think it's pretty low. People say, well, but it happens

242
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: to parents that have that are that are conservative. Happens, yeah,

243
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: because then as the kids get older, they go to

244
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: these institutions, they go to grammar schools and high schools

245
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: and colleges and corporate America and the media. They're all

246
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: telling them all, your gender is this fluid thing and

247
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: it changes and you'll be celebrated for And a lot

248
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: of parents feel powerless about it. A lot of parents

249
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: feel like, well, what I was talking to some of

250
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: them last night. I was talking to a social worker

251
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: last night in Saint Louis about this. I told him

252
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: he should call in sometime. He was saying, what they're

253
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: doing to kids, What they're doing to children right now

254
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: these institutions is monstrous. But they're the ones telling you that,

255
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, there's a threat now. The community is

256
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: under threat if you won't go along with gender transition

257
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: surgeries for fifteen year olds or twelve year olds. Monstrous,

258
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: that's what they want to tell you. We have to

259
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: hold the line for sanity somewhere. And I think that

260
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: this isn't even something we could view as a victory.

261
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: This is just more a question of are we refusing

262
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: to concede utter defeat on this issue. Let me know

263
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: what you think about all this eight under two A

264
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: two two eight a two. You know, inflation and prices arising,

265
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 2: and with the current stock market volatility, retirement accounts are

266
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: not in great shape. My retirement accounts is not looking

267
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: so good these days. It's been a rough twelve months

268
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: or so. Phoenix Capitol Group, though, says it's time to

269
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: diversify your investments. They recommend high value US oil and

270
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: gas investments with current fields that range from eight percent

271
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: to twelve percent APY, paid monthly. That's a better rate

272
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: of return than banks or CDs with no middleman. There

273
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,920

287
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: right now, and we're about to talk about the allegations

288
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: against Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, the Biden family, an FBI source,

289
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: an FBI whistleblower, and more. Representative Annapolina Luna of Florida

290
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: is with us. Congresswoman. Appreciate you being here and thanks

291
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: for making the time. Tell us we haven't talked about

292
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: this yet on the show, so I need you to

293
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 2: set this up for everybody a little bit. What is

294
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: going on with the House looking into bribery allegations, the

295
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: whistleblower and Biden.

296
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, it's I don't know if we have

297
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: enough time but to kind of chalk it up in

298
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 4: a nutshell long story show or the House Oversight Committee

299
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 4: has been working to collect evidence to prove that this administration,

300
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: this family, and Joe Biden specifically, has indeed been guilty

301
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 4: of public corruption. And we've found that we had recently,

302
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 4: just a couple of weeks ago, subpoenaed bank records from

303
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 4: four different banks of about twenty that we suspect, where

304
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: we found that the Biden family was receiving money from

305
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 4: foreign nationals basically using and selling the Biden name in

306
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 4: order to personally enrich themselves, and they moved these funds

307
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 4: between twenty companies. So that comes a couple of weeks ago,

308
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 4: and then this week, Representative Comber had requested a document

309
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 4: from the SBI that basically outlined and proved that Biden,

310
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 4: as Vice President in the Obama administration, had received a

311
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,479
Speaker 4: five million dollar transfer from a foreign national and an

312
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: effort to sway American policy. And ultimately what ended up

313
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 4: happening is the SBI not only refused to hand over

314
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 4: this document it's not a classic document, but then they

315
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 4: also too said that their own source, who has been

316
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 4: a human source with the FBI for over ten years,

317
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 4: very credible. They've even paid this source over six figures

318
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: for the information that they have that they were and

319
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: they had credible fears that if this individual was unmasked

320
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 4: to Representative Comer and Oversight, that they had credible fears

321
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 4: that this person would be killed.

322
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: So the allegation, I mean, do we know any of

323
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: the specifics, Congresswoman, about what was there, what the quid

324
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: pro quo was, I mean, we you know, what level

325
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: of detail have we been able to get about what

326
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 2: this FBI source was alleging.

327
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 4: What we do know is that this individual has proof

328
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 4: that there's a five million dollar bank transaction that at

329
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 4: the time Vice President Biden received for his word to

330
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 4: influence American foreign policy. And what I can tell you

331
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 4: is that we've been trying very hard to get this

332
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: document and that the SBI has own wall dust. That's

333
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 4: actually part of the reason why we are now tomorrow

334
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 4: meeting to work on the markup for the bill to

335
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 4: actually hold the director of the FBI in content of Congress.

336
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: Now, holding the FBI director and contempt wouldn't result in

337
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: any actual legal action against him because the DOJ is Biden, right,

338
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 2: So that's not really going to change anything. Why isn't

339
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: the FBI sharing information with Congress on an overside committee.

340
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember from back in the CIA days

341
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: what the overside committee wants the overside committee is supposed

342
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 2: to get.

343
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 4: That's a question that we're all asking and in my opinion, Buck,

344
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 4: just based on what I've witnessed, what I've heard, and

345
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 4: what I've personally seen over the last couple of months

346
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 4: as being in office, the SBI has some serious issues.

347
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 4: I mean, they have a goal, right now that's currently

348
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 4: leaking information to Hunter Biden about his own case that

349
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 4: the FBI is investigating. So I think that we're at

350
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 4: the point now where, you know, the Republican Party, although

351
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 4: we don't control Senate or the White House, we do

352
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 4: control the House, and you know, there has to be

353
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 4: some peece behind a lot of what's happening, because exactly

354
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: like you had mentioned, you know, these three letter agencies

355
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 4: seem to think that they're not held accountable to anyone,

356
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 4: and really the last line of defense for the American

357
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: people is Congress, and so they need to be held accountable.

358
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 4: We need to be subpoenaing all this information, and so

359
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 4: Representative Comer has been doing a good job on with

360
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 4: the help of Representative Jim Jordan, who's head of House Judiciary.

361
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: But right now, I mean, the more information that we

362
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 4: put out buck even just on those bank transactions that

363
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 4: I had outlined earlier. I mean, MSNBC, CNN, and ABC

364
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: refused to even cover it. It was only Fox News

365
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 4: that was covering it. So they're really trying to suppress

366
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: this information. In my opinion, the corporate establishment media is

367
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 4: working with the DNC and some of these three letter

368
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: agencies to runcover for Biden.

369
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 2: Speaking to Congressoman Ana Paulina Luna of Florida and Congressoman

370
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden, Clay and I talked about this a lot.

371
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: He still thinks that they may drop real charges, not

372
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: some deferred prosecution, pays a fine, make the whole thing

373
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: go away, but that there'll be a real charge against

374
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden based on what you're seeing, the information that

375
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: you've seen already. Do you think that's possible? And also,

376
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: how could there not be unless the system is corrupt.

377
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: I think that's the question. A lot of people are

378
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: asking him. If you get paid millions of dollars you

379
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: don't declare you don't pay taxes on it. I thought

380
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: that was kind of a big problem.

381
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 4: It is a big problem, and I don't think that

382
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 4: we will have any charges brought until, you know, we

383
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: have a new Republican president. And unfortunately, that's what it's

384
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: coming down to, because many of these people that are

385
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 4: appointed are indeed appointed because of their political leanings and

386
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: support of that administration. And right now, exactly like you

387
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: had stated, I mean, there's so much information on Hunter Biden,

388
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 4: and yet they're refusing to act, just like the SBI

389
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 4: had this information about Joe Biden, and they've had had

390
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 4: it since twenty sixteen previously, and they chose to sad

391
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 4: on that they had it in twenty twenty. They chose

392
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: to stad on it and they're not doing anything with it.

393
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 4: So they have the evidence, they have the testimony of

394
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 4: people that are bringing it forward of not just the

395
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: human source, but there's multiple whistleblowers that have come forward

396
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 4: about the Biden family and about Joe Biden specifically. And

397
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 4: it's really interesting because one of our best whistle blowers

398
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 4: that actually had proof that Joe Biden and his family

399
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: was receiving illegal basically pay for play schemes, the dj

400
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: is now trying to charge as an illegal arms trafficker,

401
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: even though he's never sold or tried to broker any

402
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: deals with any for organizations for arms. So they are,

403
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: in my opinion, using their position to not just intimidate,

404
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 4: but to prevent people from coming forward with the threat

405
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 4: of ruining their lives.

406
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: How do we get any accountability in the FBI? If

407
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: people ask me this question, Congresswoman, and they'll ask, usually

408
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: in the context of the intel community CIA, and I say, look,

409
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: you'd have to have leadership that would understand the institution

410
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: well enough that they would know how to change the culture.

411
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 2: But you'd also have to get rid of a lot

412
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: of people, a lot of programs, and cut a lot

413
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: of funding. Do you think there's stomach for that in

414
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: the next in the next Republican administration? You think that

415
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 2: from what you're hearing from some of your fellow members

416
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: of Congress on the Republican side, at least there would

417
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: be a willingness to do something about that. I mean,

418
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 2: I remember when Eric Holder was held in contempt when

419
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 2: he was Attorney General, right, I mean, you know, we

420
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 2: do what we can, but that's not going to change

421
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: that much.

422
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 4: Christ I think that it really depends on who the

423
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 4: president is. You know, in my opinion, we need a

424
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 4: fire breathing dragon who is really aggressive on foreign policy

425
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 4: and wants to actually, you know, do the right thing

426
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 4: and help end some of this corruption. I exactly like

427
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 4: you'd stated, you know, I think people in general, I'm

428
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 4: I'm frustrated. I know people are as well, because it's like, well,

429
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 4: we know this is happening, but like what's going to change?

430
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 4: And it's kind of you know, it feels like sometimes

431
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: a defeated perspective because it's just agreed tous what they're doing.

432
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 4: But you know, I think it's gonna really depends on

433
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 4: what happens next administration. I'm sure you saw what happened

434
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 4: with the debt negotiations, and I think and I voted

435
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 4: no against raising the debt ceiling for trillion because again,

436
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: like you had stated, cutting funding is a huge deal,

437
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 4: and yet it didn't seem like there was as aggressive

438
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 4: action towards some of these three letter agencies that could

439
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 4: have been there. And so I think that it is

440
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 4: people one holding your representatives accountable because it does matter.

441
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 4: You do have a voice, and your representatives will respond,

442
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: especially if people are calling in, you know. But also too,

443
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: it does depend on leadership, and that's why I think

444
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four is gonna be so important.

445
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: What do you think is the most important issue or

446
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: two that the Republican Congress under Speaker McCarthy's leadership can

447
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: realistically achieve between now and election day.

448
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 4: Well, I thought the first one was everything with the

449
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: debt ceiling, and that's kind of gone to pass. But

450
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: I think it's really going to be using these hearings

451
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 4: to hold people accountable I would love to see an

452
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 4: impeachment of my orcists and some of these bureaucruts have

453
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: their positions completely defunded, which is something that we can

454
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 4: do under the Wolden Rule. So I think that that's

455
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 4: really going to be something that you know, we're a

456
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,239
Speaker 4: very slim majority, and it's projected. I think just kind

457
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 4: of with everything happening with members stepping down and whatnot,

458
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 4: that we'll probably have like a three person majority by September.

459
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: And so every single Republican in this conference is really

460
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 4: going to have to work together and have their voices

461
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 4: be heard, otherwise we won't get anything done. But it

462
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 4: is going to be interesting to kind of see, you know,

463
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 4: we are. I've never been so happy to have the

464
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 4: founding fathers engineer our country the way that they did

465
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 4: with the checks and balances. But I am so happy

466
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 4: that we're at least in the majority right now because

467
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: we can stop a lot of the bad legislation that

468
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 4: this administration is trying to push through.

469
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luda, Congresswoman, thanks for being with us. Appreciated.

470
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: I always want to call her Anna, but you know, Congresswoman,

471
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you very much. So here here we go.

472
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 5: We have more information about the Biden crime family, but

473
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 5: we keep running into this roadblock.

474
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: I feel the frustration that a lot of you have.

475
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: And as I said, when I was seeing some of

476
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: our listeners out in Saint Louis last night and they're

477
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: asking me questions on stage, and then, you know, after

478
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: after we did our our live event, and I look

479
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 2: at them and they ask these questions, and I say,

480
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: I I hope we can change it. I don't know,

481
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 2: because I'm not going to say, oh, yeah, everything's gonna

482
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: be fine. You know, the three letter agencies there, they've

483
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: learned their lesson. They haven't learned their lesson. They haven't changed.

484
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: All they thought they had to do was waited out

485
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: under Trump. It's one of the most true things that

486
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: I ever heard about the State Department specifically. It's a

487
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: it's a joke, but I think it's really more a

488
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: mission statement than a joke, which is that presidents come

489
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 2: and go, but the State Department is forever. It's what

490
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: the bureaucrats there say. I don't know. I don't know

491
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 2: what jokes they make about the CIA. They're probably very

492
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 2: funny too, But point here is nothing changed, Nothing changed

493
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 2: in those institutions, not really, not at all. And these

494
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: are areas of our civic life where there has to

495
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: be some degree of good faith in operation. This is

496
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: why prosecutors and the Soros backed prosecutors, and the concerted

497
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: effort by Democrats to undo the rule of law in

498
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: these cities is so destructive because there's not a lot

499
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: you can do. When a prosecutor decides that he's not

500
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: going to or she's not going to enforce the law,

501
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: you can vote them out. And this is really what

502
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: we're talking about here. Well, okay, you can achieve political

503
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: power to try some reforms, but in the case of

504
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 2: a three letter agency, it's more than one individual that's

505
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: the problem. It's not just one Sorow's prosecutor. It's an

506
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: army of them, so to speak, that are embedded in

507
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: these places, and not just not just the you know,

508
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: the famous or the most famous of these three letter agencies,

509
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: c I, A, FBI. You know, they're in the EPA,

510
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: They're in DHS, they're they're all over the place. They're

511
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 2: in a whole range of these institutions. And how do

512
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: we clean things up, how do we make things better

513
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: in them? And I get asked this question, I say,

514
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: you would have to have a Congress and an executive

515
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: that was willing to do things that would be unpopular

516
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: with some folks in the moment. Oh my gosh, look

517
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 2: what you're doing. There's a there's a old again, another

518
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: old joke, but the fireman first strategy. You might have

519
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 2: heard of this before. It's whether you're gonna cut municipal funding.

520
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: You see variations of this all over the country. The

521
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: second you say, hey, can we can we cut this

522
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: program of that program says, oh no, you're you're that's

523
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 2: gonna result. You're gonna you're cutting the fire department, You're

524
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: cutting the police department. Right, Oh no, you can't do that.

525
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: None of us are gonna be safe. You see this

526
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: with the budget negotiations too. Every dollar of additional spending

527
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: beyond the preset spending is sacred. That's the approach the

528
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: Democrats take. It's it's maniacal, but it's effective. So you

529
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: would have to come in and say we are going

530
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: to we're gonna cut FBI funding, cut IRS funding. Democrats,

531
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: as you've noticed, they want to massively increase IRS funding.

532
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: That is not an accident. That's not incidental because the

533
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 2: funding of the IRS to make it the tax stazi

534
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 2: serves multiple purposes for them. They use it as a

535
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: weapon against their enemies all of a sudden, you know,

536
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: people are gonna get audited. Who are I don't know,

537
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: talk radio hosts, stuff like that, and also pushing for

538
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: even more revenue for an overtax population, and pushing even

539
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: more revenue out of the fifty percent of the population

540
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: that pays all of the taxes. That's the plant. That's

541
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: what they're doing right now. Eight hundred two eight two

542
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 2: eight A two. I do want to talk to you

543
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 2: about the CNN collapse because here here is my thesis

544
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: for you on that Trump broke CNN twice twice, not once,

545
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: but twice, which is amazing, and I will explain. I'll

546
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: explain that in just a second. On nine to eleven,

547
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: two nine and seventy seven people lost their lives, and

548
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: today nine eleven related illnesses continue to take lives. Yet

549
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 2: a whole generation knows little to nothing about our nation's

550
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: darkest day. The tunuelt To Towers nine to eleven Institute

551
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: is writing this wrong by educating kids in kindergarten through

552
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: twelfth grade about nine to eleven nonfiction first person accounts

553
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 2: are told through videos and the Discovering Heroes book series.

554
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: These accounts are moving and unparalleled. Kids won't forget these

555
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: true stories. The institute offers full curriculum units with scripted

556
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 2: social studies, lessons, activities, and background for teachers. There's a

557
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: Speaker's Bureau for classrooms with access to nine to eleven

558
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: first responders, survivors and loved ones. To never forget. We

559
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: must educate future generations. Let's help our nation honor its valve.

560
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: Last weekend, my wife Carrie participated in Tunnel the Towers

561
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: Foundation climb, going up one hundred and four floors of

562
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: one World Tower. With the support of so many of you,

563
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: she broke through her goal and all that money goes

564
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: right to Tunnel the Towers and its incredible mission. Last

565
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: night in Saint Louis, we raised over one thousand dollars

566
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: just because of the attendees who came in and we

567
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 2: asked them to donate. So this is a mission we're

568
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: on all the time because we want to help Tunnel

569
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: the Towers. Join us. Please donate eleven dollars a month.

570
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't eleven dollars every month, eleven dollars a month.

571
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: Teach dot org. That's t the number two t dot org.

572
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 3: The voices of sanity in an Insane world, LADYE Travis said,

573
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: Buck Sexton, all.

574
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: Right, welcome back. We're gonna talk about the continued collapse,

575
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: the ongoing freefall, because it's freefall. CNN having a rough time,

576
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 2: as it deserves to. It really disgraced itself during the

577
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: Trump administration. The egos over there, starting with Zucker the

578
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: ousted head of CNN, who was conducting a longtime affair

579
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: with his number two at CNN. Sure she got the job.

580
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: There was no favoritism there at all. But you'll recall

581
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: they never could get over being called fake news. They

582
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: never could get past the ego blow of Trump saying

583
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 2: what was just true. I always also like to remind

584
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: everybody that the usage of fake news as a term

585
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: by Trump was response a response to what the Democrats

586
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: were doing. Democrats were to undermine the MAGA voters of

587
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen saying they believe fake news online, as in,

588
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: you know, stories about you know, Hillary is actually a

589
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: lizard person from outer space. Oh.

590
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 5: Also, do we want to talk UFOs today or later

591
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 5: this week? I'm just putting that out I'm sitting here

592
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 5: and I'm open to anything.

593
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm open to anything that has evidence. And some people

594
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: I really like and trust and I think are very smart,

595
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: are big UFO believers, and I need someone. We need

596
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: to get somebody on here. Could just may be So

597
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 2: where are we with this exact the UFO thing? Anyway,

598
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that, but back to I'm just

599
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 2: putting that out there because I'm with you solo for

600
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: the next couple of days. Clay's on a couple's retreats

601
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: with the missus and some friends, and he's taken some

602
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: days off to rest recoup, and they'll be back in

603
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 2: action with us on Monday. So I'm gonna be with

604
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 2: you a few days. I think we should talk about

605
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 2: UFOs a little bit. It's getting all this attention. I

606
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: sit here as a Hey team, Was it Molder or

607
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: Scully who was the skeptic? I never watched enough of

608
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 2: the X Files. I should probably go back Scully. So

609
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm is that the Is that the lady I'm apparently,

610
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: you know, breaking news? I'm the lady here. Yeah, I'm Scully.

611
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: I'm Scully in this one. I don't see the UFO thing.

612
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I will tell you this. I don't

613
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 2: know if my family's listening to this at all. My

614
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 2: family is split on this one. My immediate family were

615
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: split on this one. There are a couple of skeptics,

616
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 2: and there are some there are some molders, there are

617
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: some two believers about the UFO thing. And I sit

618
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: here and I go, what am I missing? You know,

619
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: if it make.

620
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 5: The little flying saucer appear somewhere, and I don't even

621
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 5: care if little green men get out, or if it's

622
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 5: even just like Amiba's under a microscope, but just show

623
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 5: me the show me the UFO and I saw of

624
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 5: You are probably thinking I'm crazy because there's all the

625
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 5: dots on the screens and stuff and others.

626
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 2: You think, yeah, of course, Buck. It's amazing, isn't it,

627
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 2: this debate that we're having over a UFOs. Because right

628
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 2: there's a guy who came forward, Oh yeah, producer Rally

629
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 2: telling me in New York City, the sky because of

630
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 2: the fires in forest fires in Canada, the air quality

631
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 2: in New York City is the worst in the whole country.

632
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 2: Right now. I'll tell you when I was in uh

633
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: China back in twenty nineteen, so right before the I

634
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: was in I was in China right before the pandemic,

635
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: and I was there for I don't know a week.

636
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 2: We can change and you'd see to the pollution. I

637
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: was in Shanghai, and the whole sky and everything from

638
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: just the pollution gathered. It was really dystopian, unsettling. And

639
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 2: I thought a lot about China was very dystopian. I'll

640
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 2: just add that I thought this is not gonna this

641
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 2: is not heading to a happy place everybody. But that's

642
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 2: not a surprise. But New York City's what's up?

643
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: Oh?

644
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: Oh Pence? So what I'm pretty sure Mike is saying,

645
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: all hell's breaking loose because Pence Pence has announced. So

646
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: now you know the skies. It is a little bit

647
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: like in Ghostbusters, right when the skies turned like what

648
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: was it purple or something? And because the key Master

649
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 2: and Gozer and all that. So Pence is Pence has announced.

650
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 2: We played some of that announcement for you. See it.

651
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 2: Oh we do. If you're a Pence. We have some

652
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 2: Pence people who have called in. Please stay with me.

653
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 2: I will get you. I just want to talk about

654
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: the CNN thing for a second. Because I know there

655
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 2: have to be some Pence people out there. I also

656
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: note that there are a fair amount of they are

657
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: a fair amount of people that seem really really anti Pence.

658
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: I would like to hear from them too. I'm Republicans,

659
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: so I know, I know there are people that think

660
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 2: Mike Pence is great and he's their candidate, and some

661
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 2: of them have already called in. So we've we've got

662
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 2: we've got proof of life on that one, right, we

663
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 2: know they exist, and I also I'm curious to hear

664
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: for anyone who feels very strongly against Mike Pence, because

665
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: I would guess that for a lot of the GOP

666
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 2: bass right now and for a lot of you, this

667
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 2: is my guest. I could I could be off Pence

668
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: is just not the guy for the moment, and so

669
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 2: him running, you know, you think it's gonna be a

670
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: little bit like Nikky Haley running or you know you're

671
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: not deeply anti and you're not pro you're just kinda

672
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: meh whatever about it. That's my guess. I could be wrong.

673
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: So that's why I put it out to you, and

674
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 2: I want to know. But back to ceing n of

675
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 2: the fake news controversy, from the very beginning. So they

676
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 2: were saying fake news. Trump turned it around on them,

677
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: and he really forced a journalistic self immolation over at CNN.

678
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: I mean, they just did they they lit their own

679
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: building on fire. They destroyed it as a as a temple,

680
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 2: as a monolith of supposed journalism. CNN was gone. It

681
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 2: turned into the weber Jim Acosta and although oh he wasn't.

682
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 2: He lost his White House hard pass. Oh, the First

683
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 2: Amendment is dead.

684
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 5: Jim Acosta has to show an ID and check in

685
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 5: before he gets access to the West Wing, which a

686
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 5: lot of people don't have access to.

687
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: But you know the whole thing, right, and you saw

688
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: all these different hosts who were supposedly giving you the news,

689
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: who were really just boring opinion hosts reading off a

690
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 2: prompter who don't have much to say other than Trump Hitler. Well,

691
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 2: that in the post Trump era predictably resulted in the

692
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: professional defenestration of a number of senior CNN figures. No,

693
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 2: most don't bleek Jeff Zucker and then Chris Cuomo. Bro

694
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 2: Cuomo was like, hey, like, what do you mean I

695
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: can't advise my brother, No, not when you're going to

696
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: be reporting on your brother and doing interviews with him

697
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: at night. That's and not telling the audience about it

698
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: that that could be kind of an issue. Thank you.

699
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 2: Defenestration want to go with that as word of the day,

700
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: crazy historical fact. Defenestration of Prague. You know, those guys lived.

701
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure it was because there was a manure

702
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 2: cart under the window something like that. Someone could fact

703
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 2: checking on that one. But the guys who were defenestrated,

704
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: which then led to massive warfare throughout Europe. But they

705
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 2: lived that even though they were thrown out the window.

706
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 2: So CNN had this whole problem, and it was because

707
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 2: Trump broke them. I mean, he just spiritually emotionally defeated

708
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: CNN as an entity that is I think beyond dispute

709
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: at this point, because to go against him, they decided

710
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 2: that there were no rules and they exposed to every

711
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 2: They exposed themselves for everyone to see as abject partisan hacks. Okay,

712
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 2: that is CNN destruction number one. CNN then tried to

713
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 2: limp along and do a redo with this guy, Chris

714
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 2: licked the big piece in the Atlantic, which, if you

715
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 2: want to know what b minus students from Northeastern lib

716
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 2: schools and coastal coastal universities. If you want to know

717
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 2: what they read or pretend to read, it's The Atlantic.

718
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: They read one article from it once a month, maybe

719
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 2: second and say, I read the Atlantic, But I did

720
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: read the Atlantic, So I'm admitting that to all of you.

721
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 2: So I could read this are And it was a

722
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: big profile with a lot of access to the head

723
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: of CNN. And what was interesting was that, first off,

724
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: it makes clear CNN destruction two point zero was you

725
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: guessed it, Trump's town hall, the Trump town hall. They

726
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 2: just lost their minds over there, all the different anchors,

727
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: they were all crying about it and how could we

728
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: have platformed him? And the fact that you had all

729
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: these pro Trump people in the audience and Caitlyn Collins

730
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 2: get steamrolled to the whole thing, and so much so

731
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 2: that he Chris licked this guy who came over from

732
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: He was at Morning Joe, and then he was at

733
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,919
Speaker 2: the Cold No, not the Colbert what's the Late Show

734
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 2: with Colbert whatever? That is, right, Stephen Colbert Show. And

735
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 2: then he moved over to take over CNN. It didn't

736
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: last much more than a year. This is why he

737
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 2: didn't last though. This I don't know. I don't know

738
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 2: this guy never. I never talked to him. I talked

739
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 2: to Jeff Zucker a bunch of times when I was

740
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 2: over as a contributor at CNN, before I realized they

741
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: had all completely lost their minds and hated Republicans and

742
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: any Republican in the Trump era who still was going

743
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 2: on CNN. I was like, you're just getting You're just

744
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: getting punched in the face. There's no point. The audience

745
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 2: hates you, they're not listening, the anchors hate you, they

746
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 2: all despise you. So that's I turned down a job

747
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 2: at CNN without a job in TV because Trump had

748
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 2: just won the election. They wanted me to stay around,

749
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 2: and I said, no, I'd rather just do my own thing,

750
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 2: thank you, because I was pro Trump. I voted for him.

751
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: I was so psyched that he had won. And I

752
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: was like, I don't I don't want to go on

753
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: CNN so they can be.

754
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 5: Like, so like explain to us, like why you think that,

755
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 5: like voting for Hitler is not voting for Hitler.

756
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 2: You know, I just didn't really need that in my

757
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: day to day. But Chris Slick, this guy ended up

758
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 2: sounding not that crazy. Here's from the article. I think

759
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: he's a lib, but he's not totally insane, he said,

760
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 2: apparently to CNN staff, do not virtue SignAll, tell the truth,

761
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 2: ask questions, getting at the truth, not collecting facts for

762
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: one side or collecting facts for another side. Ask the

763
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: tough questions. It's an incredibly sensitive, divisive issue of when

764
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: there's a Venn diagram the country can agree on if

765
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: we get there with the facts. Yeah, this guy is

766
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 2: gone because he showed up at CNN and he was like,

767
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: everybody knows, did this place turn into a laughing stock

768
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: and a partisan, you know, clown show. Can we at

769
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 2: least get back to some basic reality? And CNN, with

770
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 2: its collective Biden voting, Hillary and Obama loving voice, shouted out, no,

771
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 2: we shall not return to the facts, sir, you shall

772
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: be fired. So that's what CNN did, and it's because

773
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 2: the Trump town hall. Two times, two times, CNN has

774
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 2: fallen victim to the Trumpster. So that is what happened.

775
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 2: You know, when you're younger, you're invincible. Whatever life serves

776
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 2: you, you take it on. But as you get older, you

777
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 2: start feeling the creaks and cracks in your body, especially

778
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: after exercise, that's why we on the show recommend Relief Factor.

779
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 2: You know, Clay and I were both in our forties.

780
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: We've got those aches and pains now that just start

781
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: coming and going. But relief Factors amazing. It helps so much.

782
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 2: I've been taking it and it just works. Our friends

783
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 2: at Relief Factor are so supportive of the show too,

784
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 2: and they were supportive of Rush when he was on

785
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 2: before that for years, and I'm benefiting from their pain

786
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 2: relief product. I take their recommended three packets a day,

787
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 2: and here's what it does. Stuff doesn't hurt as much.

788
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 2: I've got this pain in my left shoulder in particular,

789
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 2: that just it doesn't just hurt when I work out now,

790
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 2: but even sometimes reaching for things whatever. I take the

791
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 2: relief Factor and guess what, it doesn't hurt. The inflammation

792
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: goes down. Relief Factor is one hundred percent drug free,

Speaker 2: us on Monday. Send you all these best regards. This

812
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: is Buck. I'm rocking at solo today and holy smokes,

813
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 2: I am getting inundated with photos from the Big Apple,

814
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: New York City in golf in a orange haze because

815
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: of these Canadian Thanks Canada, these Canadian wildfires and the

816
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 2: photos are really stark stuff. I mean it looks it

817
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 2: looks a little bit like what you would think the

818
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: atmosphere on Mars might be or something if you were

819
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 2: to be walking around. Kind of reminds me of the

820
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 2: Great smog of London of nineteen fifty two. I'm sure

821
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: if you're a watcher of the Crown and somebody who

822
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 2: watches that series, you would know about the great smog

823
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 2: of London in nineteen fifty two. But it's a bit

824
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 2: like that in terms of what it looks like outside

825
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 2: of New York City. So I hope it just passes quickly.

826
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm friends and family are telling me they're kind of

827
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: avoiding going outside. One of our producers, Greg and New

828
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 2: York City says that it even makes your eyes water

829
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 2: a little bit when you're outside. It's not good. So

830
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 2: I hope that'll all get cleaned up. I can assure you.

831
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 2: The printing presses, so to speak, or getting fired up

832
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 2: with articles about how this is climate change, climate change,

833
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 2: So how is it client it's a fire with wind

834
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: that has blown the smoke from the fire south because

835
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 2: of a very big fire or series of fires. Well

836
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 2: they'll say that you know why the fire happened because

837
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 2: they're the grass or you know, the not fauna, the flora.

838
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: You know, the plants and things were dry because oh

839
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:44,959
Speaker 2: everything's more dry because of climate change. Usually, the most

840
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 2: I think the most common cause of forest fires is human,

841
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: meaning people light the fire, either on purpose or by accident.

842
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 2: But they'll there'll be articles about the climate change situation

843
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 2: and how that ties into this. In fact, one of

844
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 2: my constant frustrations. I do like to watch the occasional

845
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: Nature program. You know, I've always since I was a

846
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: little kid. My mom could even attest to this. I

847
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 2: I think I wrote in the first grade that I

848
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 2: want to be an animal conservationist. When I grew up,

849
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to spell conservationists, but I

850
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 2: had learned the term from watching so many National Geographic specials.

851
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 2: I had all of them on VHS. I had the

852
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: National Geographic on Jimpanzees, the National Geographic on Sharks, the

853
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 2: National Geographic some of you know what I'm talking about.

854
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 2: They actually had a pretty great series back in the day.

855
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 2: And this is before you could use drones and automatic

856
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 2: cameras for everything, so the photographers had to get up

857
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: close and it was you know, the footage was a

858
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: little bit more exciting because now, I mean, you know,

859
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 2: they they basically attach a GoPro to a great white

860
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 2: shark's head and you know, you see everything that's going on.

861
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: But back in the day, photographers had to do a

862
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 2: little more. Why am I telling you about animals? I

863
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 2: actually just ran myself so far off the tracks that

864
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 2: I could even remember animal conservationist. Oh that I can't win.

865
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 2: I did this to myself last night at Saint Louis too.

866
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 2: I went off a tangent of a tangent, and I

867
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 2: had to ask some of the front row what was

868
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: my main thesis here? And they reminded me and I

869
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 2: stayed on track. I was fine, But you can't watch

870
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: any any programming National Geographic Style, uh, you know, Earth

871
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 2: and these things on Netflix without getting a lecture on

872
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: climate change. At some point, the voice over will be like,

873
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 2: but what is really causing the destruction of the you know,

874
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 2: double quested cormorant? Climate change? He said there here, like

875
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 2: really really, Yeah, sure that's what's causing It's always it's

876
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 2: always climate change. Yeah, So they'll be writing about that,

877
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 2: I am sure, in the next twenty four hours. But

878
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 2: how there's some somehow tied to it. But yeah, it's

879
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: it's worse today than it is yesterday. Everyone's thawing me

880
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: New York cities and in rough shape Saint Louis. Speaking

881
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 2: of cities, I was there last night, and it was

882
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 2: great to go check it in and hang out with

883
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 2: our affiliate there in Saint Louis. Appreciate everybody listening, and

884
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 2: I did a live event and it was interesting to

885
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,280
Speaker 2: me because it was my first time in city limits.

886
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 2: The only time I had been in the Saint Louis

887
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 2: area before was actually an interview Mike Pence as part

888
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 2: of the Hill TV project at the Hill dot com

889
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 2: that I launched a few years ago. I was a

890
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 2: host there, but I went to interview Mike Pence and

891
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 2: I went right from the airport to some venue outside

892
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 2: the city. So I never really experienced Saint Louis at all.

893
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,240
Speaker 2: So it was my first time being in that city,

894
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 2: and as you know, I had the experience. I'm hitting

895
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 2: the Midwest tour a little bit more of these days,

896
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 2: I've realized as a New Yorker, I've spent obviously a

897
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 2: ton of time in the Northeast and in New York

898
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: and DC. Now I live in Florida, I've spent a

899
00:51:54,600 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 2: lot of time in the South for one family eye

900
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 2: family in the South in Virginia, but also some of

901
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: the government work that I did took me to Virginia

902
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 2: and other places, military facilities where I would spend weeks

903
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 2: on end, and then then the West Coast. I spent

904
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: a lot of time in California. I haven't spent as

905
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: much time in the Midwest as I would like to,

906
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:18,959
Speaker 2: so I'm going to be spending a little more time.

907
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,919
Speaker 2: And I went to Chicago last year for the first time,

908
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 2: and I had that experience where I turned to carry

909
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,799
Speaker 2: at the Silver Bean in Millennium Park and I said,

910
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 2: is it really I wonder if the crime here is

911
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: really as bad as everyone says. And then in about

912
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 2: an hour and a half later, there was a fatal

913
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 2: shooting broad daylight right next to where we were. Right

914
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 2: there at the Bean. Sixteen year old shot and killed

915
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 2: another sixteen year old, and I said, okay, oh yeah, no,

916
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 2: the violence here is bad, really bad, not even limited

917
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 2: to certain areas of the city that need additional attention.

918
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 2: So I was at Saint Louis and I'm excited to

919
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,959
Speaker 2: I see the arch and I'm excited to check out

920
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 2: the greatest barbecue and all the different things that Saint

921
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 2: Louis has to offer. And I get into the I'm

922
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: going to this station radio station. I get to the

923
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 2: Uber and I say to the gentleman who's driving me,

924
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: we're chatting up. I'm chatting hi up a little bit.

925
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,399
Speaker 2: We're talking because I always like to get a little

926
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 2: bit of a sense of, you know, what's going on

927
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 2: in the city. So he said, oh, we've got great

928
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 2: baseball here and everything else. And I said, so, uh, well,

929
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 2: what should I know? Where should I go? And he says, well,

930
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 2: first of all, don't go out walking by yourself at

931
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 2: night downtown. I look at him, I'm like, wait a second,

932
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 2: we're in we're in downtown, but right now you're telling

933
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 2: me that you don't think it's your You're a lifetime

934
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,399
Speaker 2: Saint Louis, and you're telling me you don't think it's

935
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 2: safe for me to walk around in the downtown of

936
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: the city at night. And he's like, I wouldn't do it.

937
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: I said, okay, that's not and then I went I

938
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 2: saw more. I saw a whole bunch of folks last night.

939
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 2: You know, hundreds of people came out and we we

940
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 2: got to chat, and they all told me one after

941
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 2: another when I shared this experience of them as they said, yeah, yeah,

942
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 2: that's Unfortunately the reality of that city now it has

943
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 2: become and it has been for years. It is very

944
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 2: dangerous now. They mostly, pretty much all of them, I

945
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 2: think I met in person, live in the suburbs, and

946
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 2: it's nice and it's quiet, it's pretty, and they have land,

947
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 2: and you know, they're they're so so for them. This

948
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 2: city isn't a day to day problem for them, but

949
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 2: they're very aware of the fact that Saint Louis has

950
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: a very high homicide rate. Depending on the year and

951
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 2: the numbers you use, it's usually in the top three

952
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 2: for shootings in the country. I think it might have

953
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,800
Speaker 2: even been number one in the last couple of sometime

954
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years, it's usually Saint Louis.

955
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 2: I think New Orleans is usually on that list as well.

956
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 2: Baltimore is always pretty high on that list. There are

957
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 2: a number of these cities, and I just remember thinking

958
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 2: to myself, here, I'm I'm a visitor to this place.

959
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm all excited to be here. I'm excited to spend

960
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 2: some time with with Missourians and talk to them about

961
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 2: what they think is going on in the country and

962
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 2: just have that experience and to hear that the largest

963
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 2: city in the state has this problem. To me, it's

964
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:19,319
Speaker 2: just a shouldn't this be an all hands on deck situation? Right,

965
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 2: shouldn't this be the primary focus of the city, you know,

966
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 2: city legislature, the mayor's office, that everybody. Because it's a

967
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 2: great city. It's right of the Mississippi River, it's got

968
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 2: great food, it's got great sports. I'm like the you

969
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 2: know you fix, They've got all these big employers. I

970
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 2: learned a lot. I always find it whenever I go somewhere.

971
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 2: The first time I approach it like a CIA officer,

972
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 2: you know, area familiarization, Right, I approach it, but I

973
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 2: just want to know as much as I can about

974
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 2: the place in a short time, so I have some

975
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 2: sense of what's going on. And there's so much cool

976
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 2: stuff happening there. And this is the same thing. When

977
00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 2: I was in Chicago, I had the same Now, I've

978
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 2: spent time in other cities that have high levels of violence,

979
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 2: and you know that's unfortunately there's a lot of similarities

980
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 2: that you experienced here. But I'm in Chicago. I think

981
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 2: this is Chicago is beautiful. It is a beautiful city,

982
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 2: is a historic city, It has amazing food, it has

983
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 2: really cool culture. I'm like this place. I was also

984
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: there on a seventy five degree day, which everyone tells

985
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 2: me is you know, if you're going to see Chicago,

986
00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 2: go in in seventy five degrees. But it was amazing.

987
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 2: But it has too high of a crime rate, and

988
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 2: it is the single biggest anxiety that I think the

989
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 2: residents their deal with day in and day out, and

990
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 2: certainly the same thing in Saint Louis. And I sit

991
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 2: here and I just say, what is it going to take?

992
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 2: What threshold has to be crossed? You know, they had

993
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 2: Kim Gardner was a Sorospack prosecutor. There she's out, they said.

994
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: The new prosecutor, I think is a little bit better,

995
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 2: the new sort of main city prosecutor. But what does

996
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 2: it take for some of these Democrat enclaves entirely controlled

997
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 2: by Democrats. You notice this is it's a recurring theme.

998
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 2: It's a recurring story. You have a major city, you

999
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 2: have a crime rate that is far too high, You

1000
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,959
Speaker 2: have far too many people, and disproportionately young black men

1001
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 2: losing their lives to violence on the streets, and the

1002
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 2: Democrat Party does what what is the answer to this?

1003
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 2: They talk about racism in the police department and the

1004
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 2: need for more community investment, This isn't fixing anything. Neither

1005
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 2: of those things are fixing anything. And really, and the

1006
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 2: first one about the racism in the police department is

1007
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: just a distraction. It's meant to avoid dealing with the

1008
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 2: real issue, which is how are laws being enforced? You know,

1009
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 2: they told me that some of the residents again told

1010
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 2: me that there are a lot of low level traffic

1011
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:02,640
Speaker 2: infractions that in downtown Saint Louis aren't observed at all,

1012
00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 2: meaning if someone just flies through a red light, they

1013
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 2: won't pull them over. They don't care. Now, I don't

1014
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 2: know if this is just their perception or if this

1015
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 2: is almost administrative reality now with law enforcement there. I

1016
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 2: do know that in Chicago you're not allowed to chase

1017
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 2: somebody on foot really for a whole range of reasons.

1018
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 2: So if a felon decides to run, the cops aren't

1019
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 2: supposed to give chase. Well, that makes the in a

1020
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 2: whole range of circumstances. It's not all circumstances, but that

1021
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 2: makes it a lot easier to be a criminal, doesn't it.

1022
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: Oh wait, there are the cops. Well, I'm going to

1023
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 2: run and they're not going to be able to drive

1024
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: after me, and they're probably not even going to be

1025
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 2: able to chase after me on foot, because that's not

1026
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 2: department policy. It sounds like that can't be true. But

1027
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 2: these are the laws that have been and these are

1028
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 2: the policies that have been implemented in these places. And

1029
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 2: I just I put this out there because to me,

1030
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 2: this should be one of the biggest issues, This should

1031
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 2: be one of the biggest drivers or independent votes to

1032
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 2: go to Republicans. The only answers Republicans who are going

1033
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 2: to actually enforce the law. Everything else is noise. And

1034
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 2: so I don't know what that means for Saint Louis

1035
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 2: and for Baltimore, and for New Orleans and for these

1036
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 2: these Democrat single party enclaves. But for the rest of

1037
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 2: the country and in states where there's still some sanity

1038
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 2: at the state legislative level, you have to just you

1039
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 2: have to enforce the law, and that means all the

1040
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 2: laws you have to I see this trend, this troubling

1041
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 2: trend of people who when the police pull them over.

1042
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 2: You've probably seen this on Instagram and it's on TikTok

1043
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 2: all the time now, and they view it as a

1044
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 2: game to just be as antagonistic to the police as

1045
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 2: possible and refuse to obey any commands and dare them

1046
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 2: to do something about it. This is a widespread attitude,

1047
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling you. You see, it's all over the internet. Now.

1048
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 2: You know that the officer will say, you know, you

1049
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 2: were speeding and your life you know, and your registration's expired,

1050
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 2: and I need you to provide idea. They say, no,

1051
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do it. The officer says, come on,

1052
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 2: you know, I'll pull you out of the car. No,

1053
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 2: and maybe they start, you know, cursing at the officer

1054
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 2: or whatever. That mentality, that stuff at the lower level

1055
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: is the foundation of the degradation of the rest of

1056
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 2: the society around it through higher crime. The little stuff

1057
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 2: turns into the big stuff when everyone thinks that they

1058
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 2: can just well whenever thinks that the laws aren't going

1059
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 2: to be enforced, the criminals take advantage of it. And

1060
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 2: there's no answer from Democrats on this at all. Ending

1061
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 2: mass incarceration was not an answer. It actually made things worse.

1062
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 2: Ending mass incarceration which didn't even really happen. But when

1063
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 2: I when I go to these great American cities, whether

1064
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 2: it's San Francisco or New York or Chicago, or Saint

1065
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 2: Louis or wherever. And I see this playing out, it

1066
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 2: is just so frustrating, and I almost wish that we

1067
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 2: could say, can we put aside all the rest of

1068
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 2: politics for a second here, Libs, Democrats, can we sit

1069
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,960
Speaker 2: down and get serious. You have to enforce the law,

1070
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 2: and you have to punish criminals who refuse to obey laws,

1071
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 2: or else this never gets better, or else people are

1072
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:25,240
