Hey everybody, it is the Clay Travis 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show on this Thursday, July fourteen. So 4 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: glad to have you rolling with us all across the country. 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in. We've got more on inflation the economy. Obviously, 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: this is going to be a story every day until 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: the election and thereafter because it's so bad. It's such 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: a situation of well compounding errors, I think over time, 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: and we'll discuss that to be sure. Also, COVID stuff, folks, 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: there's a new I want to make sure I get 11 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: this one right. You know, it used to be we 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: had the place names, you know, lime disease, ebola virus. 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Now it's all that's racist. See now it's all BA 14 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: five two three seven niner. I mean, it's getting real 15 00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: complicated to keep track of the various versions of these viruses. 16 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: There's a new one that has been so actually, this 17 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: one has a cool name, so I don't know if 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: that makes it an allusion to Greek mythology Centaurus. Covid 19 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: subvariant they're saying has been found in the Netherlands, so 20 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I don't know you would you 21 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: want to get BA seven two five to niner or 22 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: do you want the centaur COVID because probably scary sound 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: dig right? So that remix? Man I said, I had 24 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: the Alpha, I had the Omicron. I you know, I 25 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: feel like the remix. I'm probably gonna get the remix. 26 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on the road for the entire fall 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: for the bus tour college football season again. In fact, Buck, 28 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be with me. And one of 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: the markets were number one overall in the nation, Austin, 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: Texas for the opener Alabama Texas game. But I'm guaranteed 31 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: already to get whatever variant is circulating on the road 32 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: this fall. I would put one hundred percent odds that 33 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: I'll get COVID a third time, just hopefully we won't 34 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: get it at the same time because we were about 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: a week apart our COVID diagnoses this last season. You know, 36 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: during the COVID season, we were about a week apart 37 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,839 Speaker 1: and even though we were about what six hundred miles 38 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: apart or something. So that's coming your way, folks, Masks, 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: the World Health Organization, they're talking about it. So this 40 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: is why. I actually love it when the libs on 41 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: Twitter and other places refer to me as an anti 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: mask fanatic. Yes, I'm an anti mask zealot. Yes, this 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: is a hill I will die on, Not because of 44 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: COVID and unmasking myself, by the way, So that's something 45 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: we'll get to it. You guys. By the way, for 46 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: people you're in New York City, you're going to have 47 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: to wear masks again. Like I would bet almost every 48 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: dollar that I put into the into gambling, which is 49 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: too much, that both New York and La by November 50 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: will be wearing masks again, if not beforehand. As of 51 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: this morning, the La County Health director Barbara Ferrare, and 52 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: I mean, these it's amazing how many of these city 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: health directors seem like they should be teaching gender studies 54 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: at Wellesley. You know, there's such a political and cultural crossover. 55 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: Wait a second, I thought health doctors were you know, 56 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: health directors were supposed to be science nerds. You don't 57 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: really get that much of it. But so Los Angeles 58 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: may return to mask mandate soon, she was saying. So 59 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: that's the whole county of Los Angeles with millions of residents. 60 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: That was this morning, they're already saying it, so well, 61 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: we'll get into some of that, and later this week, 62 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I believe we're gonna have Alex Barnson joined because the 63 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 1: data on vaccines just keeps on coming and I don't care. 64 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: This should be a bigger story. More people should be 65 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: talking about this. The fact that we just had sixty 66 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: thousand National Guard members roughly sixty thousand who faced firing 67 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: last week over booster mandates is completely insane and outrageous. 68 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: So we'll stay on this, and I feel like we're 69 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: talking about it even before we met. Do you think 70 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: Buck imagine in a different world Trump is still the president. 71 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: Don't you think the media, the Washington Post, The New 72 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: York Times, MSNBC, CNN, Don't you think they'd be aggressively 73 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: investigating the COVID shot and blaming Trump for saying this 74 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: was going to be ninety five percent effective and we're 75 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: basically down to five percent effective. Because because Biden basically 76 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: has been driving the COVID shot, it's as if they 77 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: won't ask basic questions. Do you think it would be 78 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: different if Trump were an office as it pertains to 79 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: the shot, there would be breathless stories on the front 80 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 1: page of the Washington Post about how Jared Kushner owned 81 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars of an ETF that, as part 82 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: of its portfolio, owned six percent of Fiser. So as 83 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: a passive investor in an ETF, you know five years 84 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: ago he is in the pocket of big Farmer. I mean, 85 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: they would be writing the craziest stuff imaginable about how 86 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: the vaccines have corrupted Trump. But that said, I do believe. 87 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: I do believe this, and people can argue with me. 88 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: I think that there is a clear psychological link between 89 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: being a true believer lib a leftist and being a 90 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: neurotic and a hypochondriact. So I think that the I 91 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: think the hypochondriacts of America are overwhelmingly leftist in their 92 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: political thinking, and so there would be a crossover even 93 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: if Trump was the president. And that's why I've said 94 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: to you before my biggest goal when I got to 95 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: speak to Trump but he was still in office, as 96 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: I've said, was to have a conversation with the man 97 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: and push as much as possible to make sure that 98 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: he was on the same page about how lockdowns were 99 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: a bad idea, mask mandates were crazy. I was in 100 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: his office clades May of twenty twenty, no masks. No 101 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: in the White House is wearing that. You know, it 102 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: was very clear they understood this. But I remember I said, 103 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: no lockdowns at the federal level, sir, right, and we're 104 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: not going to do anything. He said, absolutely. It wasn't 105 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: about what the politicians were saying to me. It was 106 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: about what was reality. And you're already seeing this making 107 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: making a bit of a comeback right now, and I 108 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: think we're we're heading for it, so we can we 109 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: can return to that one later. I know you've got 110 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: a lot of thoughts on the ao AOC. Two interesting things. One, 111 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: she's somebody who doesn't mind, actually a scratch that she 112 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: encourages the harassment of public officials, including Supreme Court justices. 113 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: And I want everyone to understand judicial intimidation is in 114 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: a different category. Prosecutorial intimidation is in a different category 115 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: from even harassing members of Congress. There are laws against 116 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: this stuff, right, but they've been saying, forget it, it's 117 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: so important all this other stuff. She got a little 118 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: bit harassed and said she was going to punch somebody. Yeah, 119 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 1: on the accepts of the Capitol. You'll bring us into 120 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: that story. But Biden is shuffling around. What did he did? 121 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: He had to get led to his seat in the 122 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: video and clap for no reason. But there's a viral video. 123 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: He's in Israel right now and he's done this thing 124 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: where he finishes speaking a couple of times now and 125 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: he turns and he like panamindes as if he's supposed 126 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: to be shaking hands with someone and there's no one 127 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: else there. And in this clip, which I tweeted out 128 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: you can go watch it at Clay Travis on Twitter, 129 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: he not only turns and appears to think that he's 130 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: shaking hands with someone who isn't there, the Israeli official 131 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: that is with him has to come over and sort 132 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: of take him by the elbow and lead him to 133 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: where he needs to be seated. And it looks like 134 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: something that you would see. He's also, you know, walking uncomfortably, 135 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: very gingerly on the stage. It looks like something that 136 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: you would see happen in a nursing home. And I'm 137 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,119 Speaker 1: sure Biden right now buck is worse because he probably 138 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: hasn't slept very much for that travel to Israel. But 139 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: I watch it and I think, how can we do 140 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: thirty more months of this, and he had his schedule truncated. 141 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: They limited the amount of time he was going to 142 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: spend doing this because they know that he's folks, he's 143 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: running He's running out of gas. Okay, he's running out 144 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: of energy day in and day out. And on the 145 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: one hand, I think the press is happy because all 146 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: foreign reporting, in particular, you know, people read it and 147 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: they go, Okay, we're not there. Whatever Reuters, whatever the 148 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: AP and the New York Times are writing, tends to 149 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: be the perception of what's going on overseas. And I 150 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: think we're to point right now where because the price 151 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: of gas is so high, because inflation is so high, 152 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: because everyone's understand the worker wages are down, and you 153 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: look at all these economic factors that are really concerning. 154 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: The media is happy to have Biden on the world stage, 155 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: right Biden astride the globe, kind of shuffling though, taking 156 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: tiny little steps and hoping he doesn't fall down, because 157 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: at least that's not the domestic front where he's losing 158 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: so much ground politically. But I also think this is 159 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: reminding people we got some big problems on the world stage, 160 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: and we've got mister McGoo. Biden here wandering around as 161 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: the commander in chief who has a long history of failure. 162 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: On the one hand, you have Iran trying to get 163 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. I mean, I know they say, oh, was 164 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: that really? What's going on? They just enriched to twenty 165 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: percent with new centrifugees at the four DO nuclear plant. 166 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: That was that was reported just a few days ago. 167 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: So when Ron's enrichment's going up, Iran getting nukes could 168 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: very well happen on Biden's watch, Clay, very very possible, 169 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,239 Speaker 1: very likely situation. I think now the war in Ukraine 170 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: is going badly and he is begging the Saudiast to 171 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: pump more oil. All of the three major issues mid 172 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: East piece instability, iron nuclear weapons, Saudi Arabian oil and 173 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: Russia Ukraine these are not issues you want Joe Biden handling. 174 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: No and Buck were simultaneously now talking in the wake 175 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: of that nine point one percent inflation report yesterday that 176 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: we talked so much about on the show. They're now 177 00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: talking about a one point basis point rise three quarter 178 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: point basis point right at the FED meeting, which is 179 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: going to happen in a couple of weeks. A three 180 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: quarter point raise was the highest since nineteen ninety four, 181 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: and the numbers were so bad in that nine point 182 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: one percent report that they're talking about a full one 183 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: point interest raise, the likes of which, frankly, most of 184 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: us haven't seen in our lives, and that is going 185 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: to further torpedo the economy and lead us even more 186 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: into into a recession. It's guaranteed recession. And I feel 187 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: raised at one percentage point, I think we're already probably 188 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: close to recession. I think we're in one now. Yeah, 189 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: But you raise the interest rate one point, you are 190 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: And look, at some level, there are people who are 191 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: being who are trying to be honest about this, I think, 192 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: who understand these mechanisms. They're saying, we gotta we gotta 193 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: take the medicine now, we gotta take the pain now. 194 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: Some of us we're warning about this situation that we're 195 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: heading into that we're just seeing the beginnings of. Now. 196 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: When it came to COVID lockdowns, when it came to 197 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: the stimulus payments or you know, on the PPP and 198 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: all these things, all of the madness. I mean, we 199 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: spent what was it, six trillion dollars. Additionally, in the 200 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: federal budget roughly six trillion dollars in about a two 201 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: year period. Yep. That's completely insane, folks, And some of 202 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: us were saying it was insane the whole time. I 203 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: have never been piled on as much in my life 204 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: as when I said publicly that we should have reopened 205 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: for business and gone about our lives in April of 206 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Yes, in time for Easter. Remember they were 207 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: thinking about that. Oh yeah, I remember some of us 208 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: were telling people. You know, it turns out if you're 209 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: going to truly run an experiment where you're just going 210 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: to print money and see the outer limits of what 211 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: that will do to your currency, you find out long 212 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: and hard. And we're about to find out long and hard. 213 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Biden likes to brag about the economic recovery, 214 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: the Biden boom they tried to call it before everything 215 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: fell apart. We still buck don't have the same number 216 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: of people working today as we did in February of 217 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. For all of the talk about recovery, we 218 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: still have fewer people out there working than we had 219 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: in February of twenty twenty, after over two years. Because 220 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: these lockdowns were the most disastrous decision that we could 221 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: have possibly made at all, and there still hasn't really 222 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: been anyone who's had to pay the consequences for these 223 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: awful decisions. I'm also curious the unemployment right. You know, 224 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: there are a few things that are going on that 225 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: don't really seem to make a whole lot of sense 226 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: clay that are that are troubling indicators within the economy. 227 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: I think one is there everyone is going to start 228 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: feeling this in their communities, and a lot of communities, 229 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: I should say, there's a housing shortage, and not just 230 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: in places that are used to housing housing shortages, which 231 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: are you know, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, a 232 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: number of other major cities, but it's spreading to places 233 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: that are usually thought of as having much better housing supply. Phoenix, Arizona, 234 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: for example, lots of different places in Florida. But I 235 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: think that's the as a result of the boom and 236 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: people moving there. But nationwide, you're seeing more and more 237 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: communities that aren't used this. Why are there's not enough 238 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: housing being built to keep up with population and with demand. 239 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: That's one thing that's interesting. And the unemployment rate, what 240 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: is it sits at three point six point six percent. Right, 241 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: we have an unemployment rate at three point six percent, 242 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: and yet we have a lot of businesses still saying 243 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: that they can't find workers willing to do the jobs 244 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: that they have open. And we have people saying the 245 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: economy isn't working for them, isn't going well, And yet 246 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: we're told that the unemployment rate is so very low. Right, 247 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: So you have millions and millions of open jobs, eleven 248 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: million open jobs and a three point six percent unemployment rate. 249 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: Why aren't wages rising? Traumatic, Like, what should happen is, okay, 250 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: you need them to do the job, wages have to rise. 251 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: Why aren't wages rising? So there's there's some dysfunction in 252 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: the economy. I haven't had good explanations for. I think 253 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: everybody who wants to work is working. The problem is 254 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: the share of working age population is actually down pretty 255 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: substantial compared to February of twenty twenty. A lot of 256 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: people just are choosing not to even be seeking jobs. 257 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: They don't want to work. Yeah, because usually an unemployment 258 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: figure that's really low, it's cause for celebration. Everybody knows 259 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: this unemployment figure isn't telling us that we've got some 260 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: great economy that we should be all so thankful for. 261 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: Everyone feels the economy is not what it should be 262 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: right now, come back into more on this and also 263 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: Clay will talk us through the AOC situation.

Welcome back, play and 284 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: fuck some problems with the economy. Biden representing America on 285 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: the world stage, It's not a good thing. I like 286 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: to remind everyone because I think it shows you just 287 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: how much of the Biden. The consensus opinion around Biden 288 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: from DC and the Beltway folks is a complete fabrication. 289 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: He was brought onto the Obama presidential ticket as a 290 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: vice president to be the steady hand on foreign policy. 291 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: The Obama administration's foreign policy, in many ways, was the 292 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: single most disastrous area of decision making. Didn't have as 293 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: much impact necessarily on the American people, let's say healthcare 294 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: and other things. But if you're just looking for what 295 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: would get the lowest grade between the huge civil war 296 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: in Syria and the civil war and the coup in Libya, 297 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: there were plenty of things, plenty of things that you 298 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: could point to and you'd say this was an absolute mess. Oh, 299 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: the rise of isis and all. I mean, I could 300 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: see here all day. Biden was supposed to be the 301 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: foreign policy guy guiding all of that, and we just 302 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: were supposed to forget it. Interestingly enough, Bolton Clay, did 303 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: you see this Bolton from the Trump administration. He's been 304 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: in DC a long time, John Bolton. I actually think 305 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: I did Red Eye with him once at Fox, believe 306 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: it or not. You know, the back in the dash 307 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: and the way back in the day. Yeah. Um, do 308 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: we have him talking about the coup plotting? Yes, we do. 309 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: This is what he said. Just cnize, Jake Tapper, this 310 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: is this is pretty amazing moment play. One doesn't have 311 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: to be brilliant to attempt to coup. I disagree with 312 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: that as somebody who has helped planned coup data not here, 313 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: but you know other places. It takes a lot of work. 314 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: And that's not what he did. It was just stumbling 315 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: around from one idea to another. Ultimately, he did unleash 316 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: the rioters at the Capitol as to that, there's no doubt, 317 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: but not to overthrow the constitution to buy more time 318 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: to throw the matter back to the States to try 319 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: and redo the issue. Okay, So so here, here's where 320 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: I find so interesting about this Clay a couple of 321 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: different different parts of this. I remember Bolton was brought 322 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: into the title follow up. When someone says, hey, I've 323 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: planned a bunch of coups in my day, I can't 324 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: imagine there's very many Americans who could say that. So, 325 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's a kind of a record 326 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: drop moment. Let me tell you, you know, Aptin Walrus 327 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: mustache there is being a little grandi hosts or he's 328 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: not the guy who planned planned to coup, you know occasionally. 329 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to talk about a coup Libya, 330 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: I mean, look what happened in Libya. We got rid 331 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: of Kadafi. That's a coup, folks, where we gave air cover, 332 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: we helped the Now we're that was leading from behind. 333 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, I know we've we've toppled government, and of 334 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: course America's toppled governments. We just a regular basis. I 335 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: just thought it's funny though that he hates Trump. Okay, 336 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: he is an anti Trumper, wrote that wrote a book 337 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: trashing Trump the whole thing. One of these people who 338 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: goes to work for the Trump administration. Oh, I didn't 339 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: know what Trump would be like and either wants a 340 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: senior role. And then the moment that Trump doesn't like 341 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: him anymore, you know, he turns on them, which I 342 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: think that's in and of itself pretty gross. You know, 343 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: if you work like I've never, I don't. I don't 344 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: trash people that I have professional relations ships with unless 345 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: they have publicly wronged me in some way or done 346 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: something right. I mean, you don't. You don't leave somebody 347 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: that you've worked with. Look, oh, I hate that person. Um. 348 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: But it was interesting because even he says, folks, this 349 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: goes to the January sixth situation. He's like, guys, this 350 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: wasn't a coup. He's like, yes, I know coups when 351 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: I see And this is what I have been saying 352 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: for eighteen months now, Clay. This is where we talk 353 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: about day in and day out. It was a riot. 354 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: It was not a coup. This word insurrection is just silly. 355 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: I mean, it's ridiculous. It was mostly not entirely you know, 356 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: middle aged folks who are really upset about the election, 357 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: who trespassed on the Capitol grounds and took a bunch 358 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: of selfies, including a guy with like a fur hat 359 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: and a spear I mean, there were clearly some folks 360 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: who were a little bit a little off who were there, 361 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: and there were some people who attack police and did 362 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: some things. But even Bolton, who hates Trump, will admit 363 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: this is not a coup. Folks. I know a coup 364 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: when I see one, and CNN still sits around, they're gonna, 365 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be capital insurrection for the weeks ahead. Well, 366 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: I don't even know buck when they're going to end 367 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: all of this January sixth hearings. I mean, when Liz 368 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: Cheney loses her primary, what happens then? I think it's 369 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: like August sixteenth or something in that neighborhood where the 370 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: primary in Wyoming will occur, that it appears she's going 371 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: to get totally and utterly destroyed, so she's no longer 372 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: going to be a congresswoman once we get to August. Really, 373 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: I mean, she loses the Republican primary, I know the 374 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: election is in November, but what exactly is going to 375 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: occur once they lose the House, which there's a virtual 376 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: certainty that Democrats are going to lose the House. The 377 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: Senate is more of a toss up as you look 378 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: at as you look going forward, Buck, I just I 379 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: really it's difficult for me to contemplate what the goal 380 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: is even now, because the goal has been, Hey, we're 381 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: going to attack Donald Trump as much as we can. 382 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: It's clearly not registering politically to help Joe Biden in 383 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: any way. And so it's a distraction in nine point 384 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: one percent inflation times. Do you have a sense for 385 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, do they think, oh, this January sixth hearing 386 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: is really working for us? I mean, what would Democrats 387 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: say if you gave them truth serum and they weren't 388 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: just trying to spin in public? I mean, even rings 389 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: are awful. I think it's almost a delay tactic clay 390 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: where they know there's no good stories to tell about 391 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: the administration. So this is the safe space that they 392 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: can emotionally and they can emotionally run to the Democrat Party, 393 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: faithful the base, the left. They can just watch night 394 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: after night insurrection coverage, insurrection coverage, because otherwise CNN would 395 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 1: have to say, yeah, so the inflation rates really bad, 396 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: and the crime rate is still really high, and the 397 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: border is all the things were talking about, the borders 398 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: wide open. It's a total mess. They don't want to 399 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: discuss those things. They don't want to talk about the 400 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: price of gas, so this is something else for them. 401 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: But on the insurrection issue, and this was really interesting, 402 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: aoc here was speaking to a journalist. I guess, I know, 403 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: somebody came up and asked some questions on the Capitol 404 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: steps and she said something that I know what she 405 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: was trying to convey here. And yes, she's hysteric and 406 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: not very bright, and it's really sad and quite pathetic 407 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: that the Democrat, the younger Democrats particularly, looked to her 408 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: as someone that they should listen to about honestly anything. 409 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: But here she is saying that there's some stuff we 410 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: haven't found out yet with all this investigation Clay these insurrectionists, 411 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 1: and that there were actual officers working with this and 412 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: we never got to the bottom of that, and we 413 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,239 Speaker 1: never got any answers about that, and until this day 414 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: we're just supposed to pretend that that never happened. I 415 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: have no idea what happened to the people on the 416 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: inside who were very clearly sympathetic with what was going on. 417 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: But I'm opening the doors might open back, and I'm 418 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: supposed to sit here and pretend like none of that 419 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: ever happened, and then right afterwards you have a massive 420 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: you know, you just have this idea that throwing money 421 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: at that problem is going to make it go away 422 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: without any accountability. And so this is this is where 423 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: these things are breaking down. We're not safe. And it's 424 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: not just about members of congressot being safe. The staff 425 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: workers aren't safe. The janitors aren't safe. Like we need 426 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of this. Okay, First of all, 427 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: the janitors aren't safe. Put aside as I said the 428 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: hysteria for a second. Is she accusing Capitol police at 429 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: some level of an inside job? That's what it sounds like. 430 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: Sympathetic open the doors, you know, told them to come in, 431 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: told them to go into certain areas. This is AOC 432 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: saying that. Right if you or I say Capitol Hill 433 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: police let people in, we're conspiracy theorists. That's not true. 434 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: It was an insurrection. What is she saying, Clay, Well, 435 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: she's pointing out it is true, which is there was 436 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: almost no security at all at the Capitol on that day. Now, 437 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: partly that's because the idea of calling out the troops 438 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: was considered to be racist. When Senator Tom Cotton and 439 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: Arkansas suggested it as a way to provide protection during 440 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: the summer of riots. But there is on video some 441 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Capitol police just opening up the doors and removing the 442 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: barricades and letting people go in to the capitol. That 443 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: has been a defense that has been offered on behalf 444 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: of some of the January sixth defendants. So she is 445 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: speaking to truth, a truth that Democrats don't want to 446 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: consider it all, which is many of these people did 447 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: not violently trespass into the Capitol. They were effectively waved in. 448 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: If they were holding hearings to get to the bottom 449 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: of the insurrection instead of the obvious political show trials 450 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: they're having. Why don't we I'm sure we could find 451 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: out very easily who were the member of Capitol Hill 452 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 1: Police who on video, as you point out, were effectively 453 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: escorting people into certain areas that the Capitol after it 454 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: had supposedly been blocked off two civilians. Well, what did 455 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: they do? Why did they do that? Did they tell 456 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: people it was okay? Did they wave people inside the 457 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: actual building and say all right, they're going to go 458 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: in there. Where's all that testimony? Where's the discussion AOC 459 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: is bringing it up? I feel like we should be 460 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: able to bring it up to I think it's a 461 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: very valid point that she is raising. And if you're 462 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: truly concerned about January sixth, if you are truly concerned 463 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: about the precedent that it's set and the danger going forward, 464 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't you instead of retrospectively looking back at what took place, 465 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't you be trying to guarantee that something like that 466 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: never happened again, which would be a part of an 467 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: investigation to look forward, not just back. Has there been 468 00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: a single major takeaway from all of the Democrat histrionics 469 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill of this Next time, our security will 470 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: be much better because this won't happen again from a 471 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: security perspective. No, it's all Donald Trump is hitler. That's 472 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: basically what it all comes down to. And there this is. 473 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: This is why normal people who haven't been brainwashed into 474 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: this go, yeah, it's a riot, Okay, it was bad, 475 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: don't do it. But the way they're treating people in 476 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: this riot, Clay, including you, sent this to me, I 477 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: hadn't seen not getting any attention. Tell everybody about it. 478 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: Why don't we set it up. We'll come back and 479 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: tell folks. Yeah, and we'll talk about it. There's a 480 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: sixty nine year old grandma who is being sent to 481 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: prison for sixty days because of trespassing on January sixth. 482 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: I want to talk about it. We'll discuss that's coming 483 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: up in the meantime. If you are using this summer 484 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: to move the family to a new town, maybe a 485 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: new home, prior to school starting, this is the time 486 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: to do it. If that move means you're going to 487 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: be looking for a home mortgage, your first phone call 488 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: should be American Financing. This company will get you ready 489 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: for the moment you walk through the door of your 490 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: next home and say this is the one.

I listened every day to actually be sitting 512 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: here in the studio with you. We are honored to 513 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: have the best, the best guy coming before us in 514 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: all radio and New York. So thank you so much 515 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: for that. Appreciate it. Lead In was a term I 516 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: was looking forward. Yeah. So look there's a there's a 517 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: fair amount of national attention right now in this case 518 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: that we were talking about. I guess last week first 519 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: time it came up, Jose Alba and Clay and I 520 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: have mentioned that the so just for review for everybody, 521 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: this guy was working at his bodega. He was attacked 522 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: by somebody over a bag of potato chips. Didn't want 523 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: to pay for the bag of potato chips. He was 524 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: assaulted twice, ended up stabbing the guy who then died. 525 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: Jose Alba, sixty two years old, charged with murder. We 526 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: know that bail has been given, but the case is 527 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: still ongoing. What do you think's happening here? Mark? This 528 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: is very bad. He's a pillar of the community. Everybody said. 529 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: He was a wonderful guy, always to everybody. If he 530 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: didn't have any money, sometimes he'd let it go for 531 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: a while. He can't sell the potato chips because the 532 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: woman's debit card isn't working. She said, I'm gonna go 533 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,719 Speaker 1: get my boyfriend. Well, I assume that man he'll come 534 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: in and pay. He comes in again and shoves this 535 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: guy against a wall, starts hitting him. It's a vicious, big, strong, 536 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: tough guy. Been in prison. The last time was for 537 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: assaulting a cop. Jose Alba had a box cutter there 538 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: and it wasn't a knife. It was a box cutter, 539 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: and that's what you do in a bode He opened 540 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: boxes all day, so he somehow got a hold of 541 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: it and ended up killing this guy. The police arrest him, 542 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: take him away to prison. They don't treat his wounds. 543 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: They get all infected. He's still on antibiotics trying to 544 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: get over those wounds. The woman pulled out her knife 545 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: out of her person, establishing the girlfriend of the guy 546 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: who assaulted him. Yeah, the girlfriend was stabbing him, put 547 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: a bunch of wounds all over him. She's never been arrested, 548 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: not even charged with anything. All that is. Not only arrested, 549 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: but they didn't charge him with manslaughter. Accidentally was murdered. 550 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: They went right for murder. Horrible, Mark, You've been in 551 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: New York a long time. We talked someone with Buck 552 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: about this too. Over the years, you have seen the 553 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: streets be unsafe, moved to safe, and now increasingly moving 554 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: to unsafe again. And that seems to be a general 555 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: proposition shared by white, Black, Asian Hispanic New Yorkers everywhere. 556 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: What are you hearing from people about the demand for 557 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: police to be able to do their job again and 558 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: essentially a repudiation of the BLM defund the police movement. 559 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: How widespread are you seeing and hearing it in New 560 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: York City right now? Very widespread? And this is different 561 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: from the front before. Before it was sometimes telling the police, 562 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, let this go, let this crime go, don't 563 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: go after the minor group. This is something altogether different. 564 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: This is it started with no bail. They have this 565 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: New York State past this no bail, so criminals are 566 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: all released immediately. Then this new DA comes in in January, 567 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: writes a memo the first day, no jail. Even when convicted. 568 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: We will not seek jail sentences for anybody. So you 569 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: got no bail, no jail. Now at this case, this 570 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: is another new level no self defense. You can't even 571 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: argue self defense. If you talk to the real police experts. 572 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: It's about twenty five hundred criminals in New York committing 573 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: these crimes, and they know who they are. They could 574 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: round him up in a week and put them in jail. 575 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: But you got this crazy district attorney who doesn't believe 576 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: in putting anybody in jail. That's why this guy that 577 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: did this thing in the bodega, he'd been arrested twenty 578 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: seven times and he's still out walking around, not put 579 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: in jail. And the real villain here is the governor 580 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: of New York. District Attorney in New York is actually 581 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: a state job. He works for her. Kathy Hokel. Kathy 582 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: Hokel one of the dumbest people in politics. We say here, 583 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't know about one of I think think she's 584 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: number one. That's bold, that's bold. She will not fire 585 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 1: this guy. And even if you're not going to fire 586 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: the guy, she's his bust. She should have called him 587 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: the night of this incident and said, drop the charges, 588 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: let it go, or I will have to remove you. 589 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: She has just been awful on this. And blame Joe Biden. 590 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: This is going on in twenty six cities with these 591 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: lunatic district attorneys. He's the head of the Democratic Party. 592 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: He should call them all to Washington in one big 593 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: room and see, you guys can't do this. You're killing us. 594 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: I think it's so important, Mark saying Clay about how 595 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: it's in the twenty six cities. You go down a 596 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: list of major American cities who have a true progressive 597 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: sorrows back financially, not just the ideologically prosecutor New York, Philadelphia, 598 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: San Francisco although not anymore, Los Angeles though maybe not 599 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: anymore there either. You go down a list of major 600 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: cities the same thing playing on ever, or this became 601 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 1: fashionable and criminal justice circles as the Left took over. 602 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: We're speaking to Mark Simone. He's on at ten am 603 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,239 Speaker 1: to noon Eastern time on w r NYC. Congrats. By 604 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: the way, I'm being a number. We always talk about 605 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: the cities were number one. He is number one across 606 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: all formats in New York City in his time slot. 607 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: Mark Clay and I also often discuss the draft, so 608 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: to speak, if we had to pick somebody from the 609 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: Biden administration, particularly on economic issues, who would it be, 610 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: Because we're willing to concede that while maybe disagreeing with 611 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: the policy, disagreeing with the decision making of the last 612 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: Democrat administration, the Obama administration, there were some smart people. 613 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: I mean they brought in Rattner, who's a smart guy 614 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: from private equity world to be the autos are I 615 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: mean he's a smart guy. I'm not sure I agree 616 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: with you know what he was doing, but he's a 617 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: smart guy. Who do you pick? I mean, you've actually 618 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: done some looking into who's making the economic decisions. Not 619 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, really the advisors around him. These are not 620 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: people you would want running your hotdogs, den never mind 621 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: running the economy of the United States now. The great 622 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: economist Steve Moore just published the study today. They looked 623 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: at all the people involved in economic decisions in the bidenministrations, 624 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: about sixty people. See how much business experience there? The 625 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: number is zero, no business experience of any kind, which 626 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: means when you start doing these stupid regulations, you have 627 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: no clue as to what it would do to a business, 628 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: or what it would cost a business, or what it 629 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: ends up costing the customer. So the biggest fan of 630 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is Jimmy Carter. He is so grateful that 631 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden for now becoming the worst president ever and 632 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: getting that nickname away from Jimmy Carter Mark. There are 633 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: many people fleeing high tax areas New York City, LA, Chicago, 634 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 1: moving to Texas, moving to Florida, moving to Tennessee, where 635 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: I live. Have you ever seen anything like the high 636 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: end abandonment of New York City that is going on 637 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: right now? And do you think Eric Adams, the relatively 638 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: still new mayor, is going to have any success at 639 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: all persuading people to either come back or delay their 640 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: decision to potentially depart. Yeah, I don't know a lot. First, 641 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: you got a lot of people leaving. Maybe we've seen 642 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: that before. But the dangerous thing is you've got businesses leaving. 643 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: You know, there's an old thing about poverty causes crime. 644 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: You have to remember it's the other way around. Crime 645 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: causes poverty. The businesses start leaving. Look at Los Angeles. 646 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: Starbucks has to close some stores because it's too dangerous. 647 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: Seven to eleven now saying they may close every Los 648 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: Angeles location. Businesses leave, corporations leave, people leave. Then you 649 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: end up with ruined neighborhoods and crime just flourishes even more. 650 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: We've never seen anything like this in New York. You're 651 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: as actually a shortage of moving vans. It's a big 652 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: prom in here. I'm not getting a joke. You can't 653 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 1: get a moving van. There's like a three month wait now. 654 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: So Mayor Adams comes into office here with a lot 655 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: of support and fanfare around him from the media. They 656 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: say he's well police captain is what I often hear about, 657 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: which is not really you know, he's sort of had 658 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: a role in law enforcement. But well, but they say 659 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna come in, he's gonna clean things up. How's 660 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: it going in America's biggest city so far? He's taken 661 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,839 Speaker 1: the peat Buddha Judge approach, which is, if you've got 662 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 1: a problem, go there, take some pictures, make a speech, 663 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: and then you're done. That's what Pete Buddha Jag does. 664 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: Supply chain crisis, Picture me at the docks, I'll make 665 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: a speech. Airport crisis, I'll take a picture at the airport. 666 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 1: That's it. Adams is not doing what you gotta do, 667 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: which is what they all gotta do. What Trump would do. 668 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: Get everybody in a room and start screaming, have it 669 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: out with everybody in a big, huge conference room. And 670 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: they don't do the same thing with hocals. You should 671 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: be at one police plaza or at the DA's office 672 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: arguing about this stuff.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 705 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: We are joined now by Senator Ted Cruz of Texas 706 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: nine point one percent inflation yesterday, Senator, And there's lots 707 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 1: of rumors, lots of attempts. It appears that Democrats are 708 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: still trying to get through a large, massive tax increase 709 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: and additional spending bills. Reports are that would have to 710 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: happen before the end of the month. What are you 711 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: hearing about the likelihood of those chances and how significant 712 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 1: is it that Republicans and maybe Joe Mansion or Kirsten 713 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: Cinema can come together to stop it from happening. Where 714 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 1: are we, well, Clay, It's a very real danger. We 715 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: have inflation raging out of control, and the reaction of 716 00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,800 Speaker 1: the Democrats in Washington is to pour gasoline on the fire. 717 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: And they are actively trying to pass yet another iteration 718 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's build back Broke plan, and they want 719 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: to spend trillions of dollars more. They want to borrow 720 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: trillions of dollars more, and they want to jack up 721 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 1: taxes on small businesses and job creators. Right as the 722 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: economy is threatening to slide into a recession. The solution 723 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 1: of Democrats is jack up taxes and cause even more 724 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: people to lose their jobs. It really makes no sense 725 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: whatsoever as to the question of what are the likelihood 726 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: if it's happening. It depends quite simply on whether fifty 727 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 1: Democrats get on the same page. Schumer has gone to 728 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: mansion in cinema on bended knee, and if they agree 729 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: to go along with spending trillions of dollars and jackie 730 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,919 Speaker 1: up taxes, it would be difficult to think of a 731 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: more foolish step for Congress to take. But that's where 732 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: Democrats want to take us right now, Senator Cruz, it's back. 733 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: Why do you think they want to do this? It's 734 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: just there are some levels of crazy that it seems 735 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: even Democrats would recognize as such. Given the reality of 736 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,640 Speaker 1: the economy, inflation, the likelihood of a recession, the possible 737 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: one percent fed interest rate hike, they want to raise taxes. 738 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: Is this kind of like the Obama moment from years 739 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: ago where he just said it's the right thing to do, 740 00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: as in some people just need to pay more. It is, 741 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: and I think it's just ideology. I mean, the problem 742 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: with today's Democrats is there no moderate Democrats left in 743 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: Congress that they've been driven out of the party, and 744 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: the people that are driving the agenda are the radical left. 745 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: You still have people who call themselves socialist. Bernie Sanders 746 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: is the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. You have 747 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: people like Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and AOC that are 748 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: driving the substance of agenda and it's the only thing 749 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: they know. Yeah, you don't know if you remember the 750 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: old Saturday at Live skit with Christopher Walkin and there's 751 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: a banned practicing and he keeps saying more cowbell, We 752 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: need more cowbell. From their perspective, this is more cowbell. 753 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: They have one solution, and it's tax and spend, tax 754 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: and spend and whatever the problem is. Their only solution 755 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: is more cowbell, trillions and more spending. And if inflation 756 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: gets worse, well they'll just blame it all on Putin 757 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,800 Speaker 1: sentaor Cruz. We had Sentator Holly on earlier this week, 758 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: and he got into it with a cow Berkeley law professor. Oh, 759 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,959 Speaker 1: and I'm sure you've seen that clip and probably talked 760 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: about it some where. Are you mentioned how the Democrats 761 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,279 Speaker 1: have basically lost their mind? And I think this is 762 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: emblematic of it perfectly. I don't know that there's a 763 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,880 Speaker 1: Democrat out there who is willing to say that men 764 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: can't get pregnant. How did we ever reach this point 765 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: in we're so far down what I call the woke 766 00:41:56,560 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 1: waterfall that you have to believe truly crazy things. It 767 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: really is. It's nutty and crazy town. You know the 768 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: hearing that Democrats held on abortion and Row versus Wade, 769 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: the three witnesses they had, every one of them introduced 770 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: themselves and said, and my pronouns are that was the 771 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 1: first sentence out of all three of their witnesses. It 772 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: is truly nutty. And that particular law professor maybe the 773 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: most extreme witness I've ever seen testify in the Senate. 774 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: At one point, John Cornan asked her does a baby 775 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: who has been born? Does that baby have value? She 776 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: sat there for four full seconds in silence, and then 777 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 1: finally she struggled to get out the word yes. He 778 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 1: then asked the question, does that same baby the day 779 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: before it's born have value? She refused to answer that question, 780 00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 1: and her answer instead was, I believe the person with 781 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: the capacity for pregnancy has value, Senator tech Cruise of Texas. Senator, 782 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 1: we appreciate you being with us, sir, Thank you so much. Look, no, 783 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 1: thank you.
