Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 04-21-22

with fire, friends, It's time for all one. But I am announcing today that we are expanding the call of what they are going to be considering this week, and so yes, they will be considering the congressional map, but they also will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to nineteen sixty eight, and that includes the Red Creek Improvement District. Welcome hold al on on, buck Sexton, don't mess with the scantists.

This is a guy who gets it. He understands that we are in a conflict, a battle for the soul and the future of this country, and the woke left is trying to kick at the load bearing walls of our civilization with all of its might. We can sit around and say to ourselves, you know what, let's try to create a neutral space. Let's not be too rough

with the other side. They may be angry about that, or we can realize that corporations have been largely weaponized by the left in the culture and let's just be honest political wars in this country right now to try to silence conservatism, traditional values, you name it. Corporations are the shock troops of the woke left. The biggest, most powerful and wealthy corporations in America in particular, and that includes Disney, the great American purveyor of dreams and cartoons

and fairy tales that was then. Now Disney has executives who want to make sure that children are exposed to enough trans content and non binary characters who have pan sexual identity and ideology. I don't even know what some of this stuff means. I don't think anybody knows what some of the stuff means, quite honestly, including the people who used the words. But Disney has kind of lost

its mind. Here is the Wall Street Journal writing about this special district that might just be going away when it comes to Disney. It was created in nineteen sixty seven, known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District. It exempts Disney from a host of regulations in certain taxes and fees. It saves Disney tens of millions of dollars a year, accord, according to a person familiar with the company's finances who studied the issue over a decade ago. So this is

a big deal for Disney. Now why is this happening Because Disney decided to try to influence state politics very aggressively and go against the legislature in the state of Florida as it was passing a parental rights and education law. So here's really the message that Governor ro On De Santis is giving to the Disney Corporation. You don't like it, build your own Florida. In fact, here's Florida State Representative Randy Fine saying Disney is a guest, but gotta be

on your best behavior. What this is about is about Disney not recognizing that they are a guest in our state. They are a California company that is a guest in the state of Florida, and they are a guest that has had special privileges that no other company has had. If you want special privileges, you'd better be on your

best behavior. And when you come in and misrepresent a bill that overwhelming majorities of Republicans, Democrats, even Biden voters support, you're going to have an issue in the state of Florida. Gonna have an issue. The left does this all the time. Companies will decide that if you have a bathroom policy that says you have to use the gender that you actually are for bathroom and changing room purposes, there are companies that will say, will no longer do business, will

no longer film our movie in your state. That's the way the left plays the game. On the right, we sit around and say, oh, but it's capitalism. Let's just let commerce be our guide. Not so easy. And what you've seen here is a reversal. The left thought they could go on offense, and they were going to take down Florida, which has been the free state of Florida in the pandemic, economically better off than all these lockdown

blue Lib states. They would go after Governor Ron De Santis, who is increasingly the most prominent and effective Republican politician in America. I think I'm not even sure anybody argues he's not the most effective Republican in the country right now, I'd be wondering who else would be even in the conversation. Maybe Governor young Kin, but he's just getting started in Virginia. We'll have to see. And this is all over the Parental Rights Bill. Think about how aggressive the left was

with this. They renamed the bill, and that had all the all of their toadies and cronies in the news media, all of their supplicants in the corporate legacy media calling it that don't say gay bill, when this was just a made up term to describe a bill that in no way says you can't say gay. That's absurd, right, Even the White House still digging in on this one and pretending that we can't actually read the bill, which

is now a law. By the way, here's Deputy White House Press Secretary Karen Jean Pierre saying just that our view this is that but don't say gay bill is really crystal clear. It's wrong. That's our view. It is just wrong. Okay, So what's wrong about it? Tell us what's wrong? Explain Democrats to the American people. What part of preventing state paid, state funded bureaucrats teachers from talking

to children, not forever. I'm not talking about eighth graders and teenagers, and you know, people are going through hormonal changes, and adolescens have a five year olds and six year olds. Kindergartens. You gotta talk to kindergartens about gender identity. When people find out that that's what the bill actually says, they go, well, yeah, that's that seems normal, including Democrats, I might add, a majority of Democrats in the state of Florida actually believe

that this builds a good idea. So why is it so evil? What's so wrong about it? Well, here is Jensaki, who is a woman of the left, explaining that teachers should be inserting ideas about gender identity into the minds of very very small children. Watch, don't parents have a right to have concerned? I mean we're talking specifically here about teaching about sex and kindergarten through third grade. I have to say, as a parent, I would have problems

with that. But the laws not about teaching sex education. It's about teaching about gender identity. And so what do you do if a parent or a kid should I say, a kid in one of these elementary schools says, what about Sally? Sally has two moms or I'm not sure if I'm a girl or a boy. I mean, these are kids who are experiencing, you know, these moments in

their lives. I also think that these are not There is not a big record of there being either sex education or extensive gender identity education in these schools, and this is creating a problem or a political cudgel about an issue that I don't think exists. Isn't that fascinating? You just saw the White House Press secretary tell anybody who was watching, and that was on CNN plus plus. By the way, I had too good job control of him.

I like that CNN plus plus plus that she's saying, it's not about teaching sexual sexuality or anything like that, it's about gender identity training. Oh okay, how many people even knew what gender identity was until the last few years. I'm talking about adults, people that have been around for decades and decade. She actually wants that to happen. She wants kids to learn this stuff, and then she says

it's not happened. Doesn't make any sense. We come back, We'll have more on Governor n Descantis is scorched Earth tactics and I mean that in a good way against Disney with a host of I'm right with Jesse Kelly here on the first TV jac Kelly, let's talk about protecting your online data.

Jesse Kelly stops buying a moment, stick around, and we will vote on these two bills. It is my hope that we will be able to proceed civilly and with decorum and with respect for one another. Read the next bill. Democrats, they're throwing a temperate tantrum today on the floor of the Florida House of Representatives as that legislative body voted to revoke Disney's special governing status, with a bill now

headed to wrong de Santis's desk for his signature. Some are concerned that the Florida governor might be going too far and fear that the bill conflicts with a pro business stance that conservatives usually favor. My next guest disagrees is one thing that weak Sauce around here joining me now, the host of I'm Right with Jesse Kelly here on the first TV and of course syndicated radio host nationally. Jesse Kelly, what's up, Jesse. I don't like the loser

mentality buff That's what's up. I'm not talking about you, but what I've said about this. You and I've talked about this privately before on the right. Government has only grown for the last hundred years. So we've never had a win. And people think we have, you know, because while we had Trump, or we had Braggin or something like that. Yeah, we've had some election wins. But if you believe in limited government and all that, like we do, you've never had a win in your life. What you've had.

What you think conservatism is, if that's the word we still want to use for it, is complaining when they win. That's not what we do. That's a hypocritical they're liars. That's wrong. We think that's conservatism, is complaining when they win. We don't even understand what winning is. If a corporation declares war on your values. We have the biggest children's corporation in the world. You could probably say in the

Whirlwind Disney. If they have decided they are going to purposely pervert in groom children, they've declared war on your values. If they've declared war, make war. Yes, what we're doing is right, make them feel pain, make them fear you. And we have these We have so many losers on our side, and I honestly I sympathize with them who just believe that the second you encroach, the second you make them feel any pain at all, it's we've gone too far. This isn't doing it the right way. We're

in a war for the future of the country. To make war interesting that you use that term war, because you're not the only one the chief Commissar of a teacher's unions, the AFT Randy Weingarden chief Commissar should be her official title. This is what she says about the preental rights bill in Florida. Watch this same it. It's this notion. And look where you know, we've been very lucky in America, and we in some ways live in a bubble for a long time. This is propaganda, This

is misinformation. This is the way in which war star, This is the way in which hatred starts. This is the way in which wars starts. She says, talking about a parental rights bill that explicitly prevents five year olds from being told, Oh, you think you're a boy, No, you're actually a girl. Let's get you on some hormone therapy. Look, it's been the greatest benefit for them. Buck. This is something I know you talk about on your shows all

the time. The biggest win for the communists in this country. It actually isn't even corporate America. It isn't Hollywood, it isn't sports or whatever else you're mad they took over. The biggest thing for them has been to educate the children. They have taken children from well meaning parents for seven eight hours a day, and they've done this for decades, and they've taught these children to hate themselves, hate their parents, hate their country. Now they've flat out moved that into

a really even more disgusting sexual realm. That is their bread and butter. They're not trying, by the way, to make your kids gay. They're trying to destroy your kids mentally and physically, so your kids will hate you and hate your country. Because a broken person is easy to convert to communism. That is the goal they're trying to break things. Because look, if you get some ten year old boy who chops his penis off, it gets a

bunch of puberty blockers. What are the chances that boy, if he even lives to eighteen or nineteen, becomes a voting card carrying Democrat his whole life. They're about one hundred. But if you have a child who's been top manners who doesn't believe and that loves his country again not political, loves this country, says yes, sir, no, ma'am, good kid. What are the chances that child's going to be the political enemy of the Democratic Party, They're very, very high.

They're simply recruiting new people in schools have been their bread and butter, and threatening to take that away from them is a huge threat to them. On this topic of winning and actually pushing the advantage when the right all of a sudden actually has one or has done this a few times. Recently has been a rough week, rough month. You could argue a rough year for Biden the Democrats. I think that much is clear. But the term that you know right at the heart of this

whole Disney situation. And I still what was amazing to me was remember where that that corporate executive referred to one of her children as pan sexual, And I remember I made some comment like I don't even know what pan sexual means, and all these blue check journals jump in like, maybe you shouldn't be such an idiot. I'm like, no,

maybe people shouldn't be lunatics. How about that? I mean, we are seeing the left exposed in a way that I think is almost surprising to some Democrats who don't really know who's calling the shots and who's really running the behind the scenes of the party, where the real power centers are, you know, people that have been voting Democrat because they're like unions for the last forty years or whatever. But Jesse, the term groomer really upsets them.

And I think that's interesting. What you know, when they call when they call conservatives, they call you, call me, call anybody a racist for example. If that doesn't bother me at all, insofar as it's just anderis and a lie. It's annoying that they do it, but it doesn't really you know, you don't get a real right when you call some of these people on the left groomers, or rather say that their policies go toward grooming, they get

really upset. And I wonder why you think that is because it's effective, because it's true, and because it's effective. And what's wild about this bug is it's not just you and me a couple of right wingers Gavin on your show about this, it's them in their own words. Of course, libs of TikTok. That Twitter account's been famous it's been all over the news lately. But Libs of TikTok,

that account doesn't do right wing commentary. That account takes a video that a crazy teacher with pink here at eight thousand piecings in their face, put on video, put it out there for public consumption, and Libs of TikTok simply takes it and puts it on Twitter. This is what this teacher said. This is what this teacher said, This is what this teacher said. These people, they thrive in the darkness, and this is actually a great news. This is one of the things they really screwed up.

They loved COVID, and they used COVID to destroy the economy like they want to do, and they used it to get Donald Trump out of office. But they did not think about the fact that COVID and the school closures brought school home for parents. Parents still thought kids were learning reading, writing, and arithmetic in schools, when really they were learning some really disgusting things. And the communists did not see that coming parents. This has been a

shock for them. You don't have to call them anything specific except for what they are. We're not calling them groomers. They are groomers. If you're a kindergarten teacher and you're upset that you can't tell a little boy that he can become a little girl, you are a groomer. That's

what you are. Yes, It's interesting that the teachers unions, as I say, the education commissars, were so excited at the prospect of getting paid to have their members stay home and do their jobs and abandoned children for months on end. They didn't think through the second order of this, the second step of this, which was going to be Oh, but now parents will be home and they'll hear the kind of indoctrination that your children will be subjected to.

If Republicans don't make this a huge issue going in the mid terms, we honestly we don't even deserve to win. I mean, I think that's where we are. If we aren't willing to push on what is clearly a major week spot on the left. What's the point, Jesse. Not only all your one hundred percent right bucket is the issue. There shouldn't be a Florida thing. There should be every race in all fifty states that Senate, Congress, all the way down to school board. Every Republican in the country.

If they're smart and you're happy to be morally right. If they're smart, they'll be running on this issue. Even Democrat parents, we have all the poll numbers. Even Democrat parents do not want their kids getting sexually indoctrinated in kindergarten. They do not. This is the biggest winner of an issue in the world. And the Communists are so stupid and so insane. They're pushing back hard and wading into it. They should be shutting up about this and trying to

move away. They can't stop talking about it. Jen Saki's still running her fat mouth on the news every single day about how sad it is that we can't tell little girls they can become little boys. This is wonderful. It's a winner that gift wrapped for us. Take it. Speaking of Florida, Jesse, real quick, what's is this like a Miami Weiss homage we got going on here? With the T shirt with the blazer? What are you, don Johnson?

Did you get you some blonde hair dye? Are you living on a houseboat and driving around in a ferrari? What is okay? Okay, full disclosure. I have I have to explain I was actually doing some radio work, and I had forgotten. I was in the middle of something, and I had forgotten I was doing your show. And I looked at my photo and I thought, oh jeez, I gotta do Buck now. And I didn't. I just ran and grabbed the sport coded I knew as soon as I sat down. I looked, and I thought, oh,

Buck's gonna say something. He's gonna say. And of course you did. All right, Just go, just go lock up the bad guys. Thanks for having us, Jesse. There we go. Just weeks after it's launched, folks, CNN's parent company has announced that the news network's long hyped streaming service, CNN Plus, is going bye. By what a shame. We'll have more on that with the editor of the Fourth Watch newsletter

and podcast, Steve Krackaur. Coming up after the break, Let's talk about the newest sponsor here to hold the line, the Silencer Shop. I'm a big supporter of the Second Amendment.

Hold the line. It's a bad day for streaming services today. Warner Brothers Discovery announced that CNN

Plus to recall it. CNN, the streaming service that was hyped is one of the most significant developments in the history of CNN, will shut down on April thirtieth, just one month after it launched. Meanwhile, earlier this week, Netflix announced that it suffered its first subscriber loss in more than a decade in the first quarter of twenty twenty one, with a net loss of two hundred thousand subscribers globally. The news spooked investors, causing IT shares to plunge more

than twenty five percent in extended trading. What's going on here? Netflix is projected to lose two million subscribe and CNN Plus was canceled before it even got started. Correlation between companies going woke then broke can't be ignored. Ken it for people finally starting to see the left in big text secret agenda? And is that costing the bottom line? Let's ask editor of Fourth Watch newsletter and podcast, mister Steve krak Our crack. Good to see it, hey bug,

thanks for having me on. What do you think, man? What the heck is this? I mean, CNN spent over three hundred million dollars preparing for the launch of CNN Plus. Is this the biggest news media launch failure in history? I mean, there are some other things that would maybe be in the running, but I can't think of any bigger can you? No? I think that this is this is certainly up there. We are on day twenty three of CNN Plus and it will shut down on day

thirty two. I mean it calls to mind Quibby, which was that mobile video app that they spend even more money. I believe it was seven hundred and fifty million on content, but that at least lasted like six months. Nine months. No,

this is sing how fast it came down. But the truth of the matter is, first of all, we could talk about the content that was on there and why it maybe wasn't so killing to a lot of people, considering it was essentially the content that was on CNN that people were already not very interested in for free, and now they're charging an up charge of three to five dollars for it. But also this launched it just as Discovery now Warner Brothers Discovery took over the company.

This was a pet project of Jeff Zucker and the old administration. They launched this thing, and now they're trying to sustain it. The new company comes in and said, this has none of our fingerprints on it. We didn't want this thing to launch in the first place. And then rather than just seeing this through for a few months, they said, let's cut the cord. This is done. Pretty shocking, but also you know, this is this is how business gets done these days, so so I think there's districts.

I was talking to this on radio to day with my COHS Clay, and I said, it seems to me like this is actually a Jeff Zucker project, right, I mean, this whole CNN plus had to be put together because he just left a couple of months ago, so he must have been the one. I mean, so so really this is a It's almost like Zucker was the guy, you know, driving the Titanic and he happened to switch

places with somebody else before it hit the iceberg, right exactly. Look, this has been in the works for more than a year now. They've been hiring up people building this thing, building the technology, getting some marque names depending on how you want to look at it, but certainly spending marquee dollars to get talent from Box News and from and from MSNBC and from NPR and from all other places.

They finally brought them in and this thing was set to launch in March, and Jeff gets fired, essentially gets pushed out in February. But rather than pump the brakes at this point and started to think all right, maybe this we need to why why we launched this without having it everything kind of the clear leadership team in place. They just rolled on ahead, put this thing out there. And as we know, about one hundred fifty thousand subscribers

right now, approximately ten thousand people watching every day. Those numbers are not very good. And yes, for only three weeks in, but that is not a good launch, particularly when you think about how much money they've they've invested into this, and how much time and energy and marketing they put into this. It's not off to a good start. You would think that maybe they have a longer leash with the new bosses, say, look at cutter losses now

it's done. Certainly a lot of schadenfreude on the right about this. Let's be honest, we're having a good time with it. There's a lot of memes, mister Krakauer that go around today that are having some fun at CNN's expense. People sharing some memorable moments from CNN pass to give a sense as to why did Americans apparently not want to pay for hard hitting interviews like this one with Bryan Stelter. So fourt to two years later, did the

two of you now happily retired, Do you still watch CNN? Everybody? Yeah, here's the difference though. Here's a difference though. I used to anchor at CNN and now why just yellow at CNA. Yeah, everybody does that too, Right, you can just email me, Dave, that would be great feedback. We'll take your feedback anytime. I mean, the team here just pull that one. We could have a lot more fun with CNN stuff they've said on the air. But what what was the premise here? Was?

What that a channel that struggles and has maybe a third in the prime in primetime hours, a third the viewership of say Fox News. It's it's competitor obviously from the other side of the aisle, is going to become a digital b myth? Why, like, what was the thinking here? Just so everyone understands, I mean, because CNN is the is the airport channel, right, It's the thing that like, it's on shelf and so that's what you have to buy.

It's it's the moldy bread that's all you've got in the store when you're stuck in an airport that's snowed in. So what was the idea here? Yeah, and the glass half full version that would be that when new major news breaks a war in Ukraine, people turn on CNN on the day to day basis. They don't have any talent that moves the needle. What was the thing behind it? I have no idea, But let me tell you there's three major problems, and Brian Stelter, right there is very

much exemplifies one of them. Brian has a show on Sunday that not that many people watch. Now he has a show on CNN Plus every day of the week. Jake Tapper has a show every day of the week, and it's about the news. Now we show on CNN Plus called Jake Tapper's Book Club, so you can hear about the books that Jake Tapper brees. Anderson Cooper has a news show on CNN. He has a show about parenting on CNN Plus. Why who thinks that people need this?

I have absolutely no idea. Another major red flag is that, look, CNN does have content that's discovery, like Stanley Tucci Show, but none of these shows have hit the way that like Anthony Bourdein's show has. And I mentioned Anthony Bourdein because Stanley he died three or four years ago. But he was a major part of the CNN plus marketing. Just the last couple of months. They don't have the kind of hits that they used to have when it

comes to these news is shows. So instead, yes, you can go and get the Anthony Bourdaine archives, but he is sadley passed away four years ago now, so that I agree that he he Steve would have been the closest thing that they had to a tent pole, a kind of big name, big show that might have been able to draw in other folks. Absolutely. I mean, I think that's a model for what you might want with a streaming service. It's a binge able show and you can watch multiple episodes. It's not tied to news at

the moment. It's a lot different than say, watching Chris Wallace interview someone like Diane ben Furstenberg for an hour. Why I have absolutely no idea? Do we know? I got to ask you, so, Steve Justserver says, you used to Steve knows CNN, used to work at CNN. He knows the ropes over there very well. Do you think they're going to pay out Chris Wallace is twelve million or whatever obscene salary they're giving him. How does that work? I figure probably right, it's a talent contract. I would

say that the talent is going to get paid out. Yeah, I think these Chris Wallace for sure. I'm curious about people like Don Lemon who launched a talk show called The Don Lemon Show and it aired one episode and now it's done. What does he I'm sure you have the clause in the contract that and now I've got

to talk show even if it airs or not. And I have to say, I mean, look, CNN plus hired more than two hundred people to work on now they have said they will essentially pay nine months severance, which is very nice for maybe a low level production assistant that thought they were coming on to this new big thing and it lasted for four weeks and now they're out of a job. They do have nine months severance,

but it's a total disaster. And look, I noticed last week that something was wrong when the at scene and Twitter account, which you mentioned. I used to work at CNN. One of my jobs was running the at scene on Twitter account fifty eight million followers. You know how many times the at scene and Twitter account mentioned CNN plus zero zero times they have mentioned their own streaming channel.

There was no marketing coordination behind this. There was no effort to sample content or to get it out into different streams. It was a mess from I know you have a fantastic media newsletter you put out, but I do think fit the most prominent media critic in America needed to weigh in on this one as well, former President Donald Trump. So here's what he says. Congratulations to CNN plus other decision to immediately fold for lack of ratings or viewers in any way, shape or form. It

was like an empty desert out there. Despite spending one hundreds of millions of dollars. In any event, there's just one more piece of CNN and fake news you don't want to bother with anymore. I mean, Steve, I think I think he pretty much nails the key points. He does. Yeah, I mean, the great thing about Donald Trump is that he was such a media critic and a I mean, I wish that was a tweet now that would have been been going virals. Sadly he can't tweet. No, I

he nailed it. Yeah, it was. It was doomed kind of from the beginning. It did never really made a ton of sense. I think about you know, we mentioned Chris Wallace is like this big splashy higher casey hunt from MSNBC. Rex Chapman, the guy who has a lot of tweets so that he sort of steals from other people and other memes. It was. I watched a couple of clips of his show. It's just painful. I mean, I don't know if they ever thought Grex Cheman as a Twitter followers, so let's give him a TV show,

but without actually seeing how he is on TV. It's just it was ill conceived and it was clearly they got a lot of money to do this thing, three hundred million dollars and that's exciting, and you can fire a lot of people, but you have to have content you have and this honestly connects to Netflix. I mean, part of the problem is with what's declining right now is the quality of the content. There's so much content

out there now. You have to be good, and I know that's subjective, but you have to be good, and it's a lot of woke crap. I just actually want something that lets my brain relax and turn off at the end of the day, not that tells me that, you know, it's time for transgender youth indoctrination or something. But anyway, and you know they'll do it in like movies about the ninth century Viking conquest of England. I mean, they're really they're really going all out with this stuff

these days. Crack, we'll have you back. Good to see him, my man, Thanks for being here. Thank you. Democrats are starting to sweat as a number of one safe house races have moved to the toss up column and laid his polls. But come back in a moment here with commentary edit at the Washington Examiner, con Carol, he's going to give us take on the coming storm. Look, you know, I'm skeptical by nature when I first found out about this thing called hometittlefafts, Like, come on, thieves really can

steal your home online? Well, yeah, actually they can. Cyber criminals can forge your name off the tittle of your home online and then take over as a new owner. Turns out that this is not that difficult to do. The FBI says it's a rapidly growing crime, and you're not covered by usual identity theft programs. Home title lock has earned my trust.

As the midterm elections draw closer and Biden's approval rating is dropping by the day, many seats in the House and Senate the Democrats once thought were safe seemed to be up for grabs. Even CNN, a reliable cheerleader for Democrats, is starting to sound the alarm bells and the possibility that Democrats could get hammered in November. Check out this headline from CNN Politics.

The House playing field is a playing field rather sorry, the house playing field is coming into focus and it's not a pretty picture for Democrats. So will we see that red wave come crashing down this November? I mean out to discuss where we are. Commentary editor at The Washington Examiner con Carl con good to see it, read to be here, buddy. So look, I know we're gonna be talking to this a lot in the months ahead, and everyone's gonna be saying, well, it's a lifetime in politics, YadA, YadA.

The Democrats are already starting to look for the panic button a little bit. So I want you to put this into context. I mean, how bad is it looking for them at this stage? Because I actually think it's going to get worse for them too. Yeah, I mean it definitely could. Mind's about to totally repeal Title forty two. There's going to be a huge border crisis. There's a

lot of bad news yet to come. But even before that, you know, we're looking at a house it's going to lose twenty to thirty seats, which would give a strong Republican majority in twenty twenty four. So here's the generic ballot according to Rasmussen, or Republican versus Democrat. This congressional ballot forty seven percent, Republican Democrat thirty nine percent. Now, we would usually expect going into a midterm election that the party in power, which is the Democrat party, is

going to be at something of a disadvantage. But how does this lineup come with what we've seen before at this stage a midterm, in the sorry midterm election, in the first term of a new president. Are these numbers that look like what we saw going into twenty ten with the historic Tea party wave or could it be even bigger? How do you engage it? It's it's bigger, it's much bigger. The party out of power always looks good.

But on the generic ballot question, generally Republicans fare worse than Democrats, So that the Republicans are eight points ahead already in this point points to a huge year. There are way ahead of where they were in twenty ten and in twenty fourteen. So if you were just looking at the numbers you didn't know anything else, you would expect this coming twenty twenty two to be worse for

Democrats than twenty ten or twenty fourteen. The way here is some of the Democrat party line starting to pull apart. I mean, people are realizing they got a big problem here. Here is Stephen Ratner, who's a former Obama advisor, who was on MSNBC and he shared some numbers for the public's ability to trust one party or the other with

a variety of topics. Watch this one, people ask which party would you trust to handle an issue more in Congress, and on inflation, it was the Republicans forty six to thirty two, so I spread up fourteen points. National charity of all things it was forty eight to thirty five, a spread of thirteen points. And on the economy it was forty seven to thirty six, to spread of eleven points. And so they're simply not a belief in among the American people that the Democrats are well equipped to handle

pretty much any problem at the moment. Unfortunately, it seems almost like the perception is settling in across America. Democrats not good at governing, good at whining about about January sixth all day long, not about actually running the country. It's well earned. Look, I mean, this is a president who butchered the job in Afghanistans, who has no credibility on foreign policy, so while Ukraine's not helping him, this is a president that created the border crisis by ending

Trump's remain in Mexican policy. This is a president that created the inflation crisis by having a huge trillion dollars in on this bill that was completely a unipartisan All of these problems are of his own creation. They've earned these bad numbers and they're going to get justice in

twenty twenty two. What do you think are some of the races Senate side or if you think one on the House side is particularly noteworthy as a as a bellweather as as something that's indicative of a larger trend right now, I know we still have primaries to go with, but in terms of contested states or contested districts, what are you watching as Oh, if if Republicans start to run the table with the following, it's going to be a red wave the likes we've never seen. I mean,

what are the states you're looking at? Sure, I'm a Senate guy from probably going to big senate state Senate races and not House races, but I think you know, if you look at someplace like New Hampshire or Arizona where Hassan is barely hanging on, if that state goes red, it's going to be just a huge year or for the Republicans. And then if you want to stretch it even just a little bit further, of course, in Nevada you have Mortest Castro out there and she's falling behind.

But right next door or not right next or two states over in Colorado, then it's up as well. And if it's a big enough way, I think you can see them losing in the states like Colorado too. Here is the mainstream media or the democraticle on corporate media as I prefer to call them, showing how worried they are about what they're calling a Trump takeover. Of course in twenty twenty four, based on how these mid terms, well,

they're assuming it'll be Trump. Watch this. A part of what we have to do here in the mid term is portray a message of unfinished business. We have to put Trump back on the ballot. But that means that does not mean that that we get to make every Republican steam like Trump. It means that we have to literally explain that if if Republicans win the House and the Senate in twenty twenty two, they will reinstall a

Trump in twenty twenty four. I mean, first of all, like no, but beyond that, also, that's not going to help them going to the mid terms. They have no other playbook, right, I mean, if you look at the congressional calendar. All that they have left to do is the Juniory six committee. That's the there only play that they have. And so that's why you saw you know, news breaking this week where they tried to shame you know, Chip Roy and Mike Lee with text to Mark Meadows.

The only thing they have is January sixth, and so they're gonna try to make as much hay, as much drama as again at the January six committee, and it's just not gonna work. Amazing to watch the solid playout. What's your prediction. We'll play this back for you after the election for Senate because you're a Senate guy, Senate pick up, gop. What are we looking at? In your mind? I say they get fifty four. Fifty four, that'd be nice,

that'd be a breaking, nice, solid majority. Or do you want to give us a house number or you want to hold back on that one. No, No, I'll go ahead and say, um, twenty five. Wow, I think I think it's gonna be more like fifty. So calm, We'll have to see. We'll have to see. I mean, I'm a hopeful guy. What can I tell you? Let's let's see.

Thanks so much man, good to see you anytime. When reporters call out Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on the soaring crime and just dysfunction in her city, she tells them she will not dignify their comments. Oh yeah, that's right. We got that story coming from the Windy City and more. In quick hits up neck, Joe Biden seems confused when answering a question about Title forty two and the White House doubles down on keeping America dependent on for an oil.

We have those stories to quick hit. Let's get right to it. So Joe Biden was asked about Title ford. Now he did. To be fair, he did clarify this today. He was asked about this yesterday. But we do want to show you. Oh I'm sorry, I asked about this earlier today and then had to clarify it later in the day. But here's what the Commander in chief sounded like when he was asked at a a press conference about Title forty two, and he clearly thought that he just

didn't know what the hell he's talking about. Watch this laying no what I'm considering it is continuing to hear from my First of all, there's going to be an appeal by the Justice Department, because as a matter of principle, we want to be able to be in a position where if in fact it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need a Title forty two, that we be able to do that, but there has been no

decision on extending Title forty two. You can just sort of see the wires getting crossed in real time where he thinks he's talking about the CDC weighing in on the mask mandate and the DOJ bringing a challenge to the judge in Florida who overturned it, but he actually then gets confused with Title forty two, which is also a CDC authority that has to do with the Southern border, which the CDC is not currently involved in, trying to weigh in on and have the DOJ overturned. Because it's just,

you know, just all scrambled up there, folks. He's the commander in chief. Though Democrats thought this was really a really good idea, Biden's climate advisor Gina McCarthy says Biden remains absolutely committed to not moving forward with an additional drilling on public lands. Watch this one. President Biden remains absolutely committed to not moving forward with additional drilling on public lands. The challenge that we faced was that we had a court that ordered that a new lease to

be done. The Department of Energy had no choice but to put it out. But they also find found ways to reduce the size of that in its impact. And we'll keep doing what we need to do to appeal those decisions and to make our case in a court. I mean, they keep telling you that they're going to do everything they can to bring down the price of gas,

but they actually aren't interested in doing that. They're interested in saying that because it's politically important for them, but they would rather continue the charade of oh yeah, just give us some time, will we'll figure this out when there actually comes to decision making no interest. This is honestly one of my favorite moments of the week. Laura Lightfoot is a terrible mayor. It's just a fact. Okay, it's obvious. Everybody knows this. Even Democrats know that she's

just really bad at the job. Chicago is in rough shape. The crime is completely out of control, It's worse than it has ever been, and there's all kinds of dysfunction on the streets. It's not a well run city. We know this. And here's a Redding reporter. I don't know this guy is, who's just like you know, you're horrible at this and you shouldn't run for reelection. Right. Here's how that wet when he asked the mayor to her face, every time you have a press conference, you say crime

is down, the economy is booming. Well that's not true. But get your question, sir. Across the street, we had a police officer on duty the victim of a hit and run. We have Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent miles, now referred to as the Mile of Fear. The water Tower Place has thrown the keys back to the lender. They say they don't want to be in Chicago anymore. Real Chicagoans are asking me, how could you possibly even consider running for reelection as mayor of the City of Chicago

after all the harm you've caused. Well, I disagree with you fundamentally, and I don't think I need to address any and dignify your comments one second further. Next question, Notice how she doesn't even have a real response to those allegations. Right, how about we've brought crime down in the last six months twenty percent and we've had more economic value. I'm making up those numbers when we're saying if she actually had a worthwhile response, you would have.

I mean, that guy's just called you out. He's just straight up said you're bad at your job. Someone says you're bad at your job, and you're good at your job. You fight back, You don't say, I'm not going to dignify that with a response, but she is bed at her job. Here's former Health Advisor President Joe Biden, doctor Michael austar Home saying that, yeah, the mass mandate was really overstated. Watched, you know, without sounding as a contrarian

or somehow I'll trying to undercut public health. You have to know that I am a very pro respiratory protection masking person, but that requires an in ninety five respirator. We know it is how highly infectious this virus is, and to use facecloth carverings or even surgical masks leaves

you still largely unprotected and that is a big challenge. Well, if you look at the mask mandate, it was all about the vast majority of people wearing facecloth carverings or surgical masks, or if you're on a plane and you're eating or drinking, you don't have to wear it at all. I think the mask mandate has been really overstated in terms of how much you can protect people. It sounds like me for the last two years. And I'm not some doctor who is an adviser to Biden, but I

just know things. Not a moron. As everything, I to hold a line the Nose. Spin News with Bill Areley is next Field's high
