I am Rob Smith filling in for the great Buck Sexton. If you like me, check out my podcast. Can't cancel Rob Smith wherever you get your podcasts. So, look, politicians lie like they breathe. This is nothing new. It is practically a part of the job description. Look, politicians lie and lie and lie. Then they take a deep breath.
Then they lie some more. Then the ones in DC go have dinner at the Diplomat. Then they go back to their office and they lie some more, and then they take a deep breath. Then they lie some more. Then they get on the phone, lie to their donors, get more money so that they can lie to you. This is what politicians do. And I am no longer
shocked by this. But guys, the lies that are coming from the Biden administration our next level, precisely because these people are lying about the very things that are currently making your life and mine that much harder. Yeah, I said my life. Look you see me on the TV screen and hear me on the podcast. But I am not some multi millionaire. I am not Kim Kardashian. I'm not jumping on my yacht after this show. I am very far from it. Look, guys, gas and groceries that
are more expensive hurts. It hurts me, It hurts you who it does not hurt who does not really care about all of this stuff any further than the lies that they tell you from the podium. Are the people
in the Biden administration? Are these bureaucrats, These people who have been in DC screwing up for decades and decades and decades and have failed up into these positions that they are so obviously not ready for Pasin point, Joe Biden's been in DC longer than I've been a live folks here, he is messing things up, And these people will lie to you over and over again and tell you that it is someone else's fault. These people are
passing the buck no pun intended, every single day. If your groceries are more expensive, it's the fault of those evil meat companies. Yeah, we're looking at you, Hormel. That's why it's your fault. Spam is more expensive, as spam is even meat. If your gas is more expensive. It's because of you guessed it, Vladimir Putin. He is the Left's favorite super villain. He is the villain. He is the person that they want you to believe is making
your gas prices this high. Listen to Biden's liar in chief, White House Press Secretary Karin John Pierre, as she shuffles through her binder of lies to give a camera response when asked about these gas prices. Final question on gas prices. Americans are now spending five thousand dollars a year on gasolina, almost double what they did a year ago. Where are people supposed to go to get all that extra cash,
to get the extra cash to pay for gas? Yeah? Well, I mean one of the things that we've been very clear about is to do everything in our power to make sure that we lower costs. You know, it is important we see it. The President understands what the American people is going through, and that's why we're doing everything
that we can. We've made multiple announcements in the past several several months of what we're doing, whether it's the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, whether it's the Ethanol fifteen to make sure that the American people are not feeling Putin's price hike. This is where this is coming from. Sixty to seventy percent of the current price hike that we have seen has come from Pune's aggression against Ukraine. Yes, it's Putin's price hike. Punine's aggression against Ukraine. You know, don't mind
your lie in eyes that will read that. According to Triple A data, gas has doubled in price since Biden took office in January twenty twenty one. While the fifty billion dollars war in Ukraine, that war that is still
going on. By the way, that the DC and the Establishment, all of these people have basically printed out all of this money to send over there has only been going on for four months, by the way, DC crooks, how is that going Oh, and don't even think about mentioning the fact that one of the first things that Joe Biden did when he took office was he killed the Keystone pipeline. These policies matter, folks, and these policies are what are making your gas in mind that much more expensive.
Grin Jehan Pierre is so bad it almost makes you long for the days of Jensaki, who looked at least lied to us without having to check her notes every fifteen seconds. It's almost enough to make me want to watch her upcoming MSNBC show, just playing nobody's gonna watch that show. Taxpaer dollars paid for the Jensaki Show for the past year of our lives, and only the brain dead executives at MSNBC wanted that one renewed. And of course that brings me to the media. Yes, they are
to blame. And look, I know that it's low hanging fruit. As a conservative commentator, political figure, whatevery want to call me, I know that blaming the media is low hanging fruit. I know that everybody does it. But you have to understand we do this for a reason, and the reason we do this is because these people are corrupt. These people are basically the propaganda communications arm of the DNC
and onto the media. Like I said, they are to blame because when Democrats are in charge in this country, it is all propaganda, all the time from these people. You're not going to get any sort of real, straight down the line analysis from your MSNBC's or your CNN's or anywhere else in the world because their jobs and the way they see this is to protect democrats in the Democrat agenda. First, that comes before facts, That comes before truth, That comes before reporting what you were seeing
with your own two Wise and trust me, folks. I went to Columbia University for journalism school. I worked that, I have worked at NBC News and Yeah Who News in all of these places. I know how the propaganda works from behind the scenes. But you gotta say that the propaganda that you're seeing right now, this is vastly different from when Obama was president. And the biggest difference
is this, it is equally as awful. In fact, this Biden administration is probably even worse than the Obama administration. But when Obama's president, no matter what you think of the policies, this was a young, good looking dude with a nice looking family, right, So the media and the entertainment establishment was able to sell this misery with somebody that was charismatic enough to sell it. Now, compare that to this, so yes and what's a plod because they
gets somewhere they need to go, oh cackling, cammy. The media propaganda wanted you to think Kamala Harris was a female Obama. They wanted you to think she was gonna come save the day for Black America and white America, and he's gonna bring us all together. Instead we got this cackling, cringe lightweight who somehow treated like she's above
any criticism because she's black and female. Now, this media propaganda is also used to spread you the lie that inflation that you were saying with just poof in the thin air. I believe it's transitory, but I don't mean to suggest that these pressures will disappear in the next month or two. This is an unprecedented shock to the global economy. It's led to a huge shift into manned away from surfaces and toward goods. These people are so old,
These people have been doing this for so long. These people are so deep in the bubble that they have no idea which way is up. These people do not care. And the same media propaganda that has given you somebody like Janet Yellen, who has been wrong at every major turn and is held up as some sort of authority on what's going on, these people want you to just shut up. If you have a problem with the inflation
that they told you is going to be transitory. Just listen to this Washington Post reporter on of course MSNBC telling you to shut up about inflation because hey, you still got a job and food to eat. There's a great deal of Americans where it is uncomfortable that they're spending more, but they are not going to go under. You know, you got to stop complaining when there's so many people who literally the inflation rate means they may
only have two meals instead of three. There are Americans who did extremely well in the last two years in the market. You still have your job, and yeah, it's costing you more for guests, but guess what, You're still gonna take that holiday, that Fourth of July vacation. You could still eat out. So I want to need you to calm down and back off because it feeds into this fear, and then this fear feeds into people making decisions that creates the very thing that they're fearful up.
These people are ridiculous, These people are liars. These people have such a disdain for anybody who's managed to build and do something for themselves. It's completely crazy. So you should just stop complaining about it. But honestly, the buck stops with Biden, who's running this country as easily as he rides a bike. But seriously, I honestly believe people who voted for Biden wanted a UNI or someone who
would turn the temperature in this country down. Instead, he just kind of yells at us all the time, like the angry old man that he is. I don't want to hear anymore of these lies about reckless spending. We're changing people's lives. Biden and his flax lie and lie and lie. But America is hurting. You feel it. I feel it. Everyone feels it. And that's the truth. All right. Democrat controlled cities around the country are poised to surpass
twenty twenty ones murder and violent crime rates. We'll have more on that with KTT Seattle radio host Jason Rantz when we come back. Let's talk about protecting your home for a minute. You know that I'm skeptical by nature, So when I first heard about home tattle theft and the idea that thieves can literally steal your home, I was like, really, and some cyber criminal really forged my name off the tattle of my home and takeover as the new owner. Turns out, yeah, he can as rare
as you'd think. According to the FBI, This crime is growing faster than credit card fraud, and you're not covered by homeowners insurance or comment at any theft programs. Home tetlelock earned my trust. Home teedlelock puts a virtual barrier around your home's title. The instant they detect anyone tampering with their homes title, they mobilize to help shut it down. Here's what I urge you to do. Number one, go to hometetlock dot com and read the testimonials from FBI
agents and government officials. Number two, register your home address to see if you're already victim and don't even know it. When you protect your hometell them buck sex and send you to get my listener discount hometetlelock dot com. That's hometetlelock dot com. America may be heading for a summer of violence, as a number of major cities across the country are on track to surpass last year's rates of
violent crime and homicide. According to a recent study from Foxnews, violent crime is up in the cities of Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and in New York City, where it's up a staggering twenty five point eight percent. Wow. The city of Seattle, Washington, is also seeing a continued rising crime, a statistic made possible by the loss of about a quarter of its entire police department over the last two years. Let me bring in someone who knows
a thing or two about this topic. Conservative talk show host on KTT in Seattle, Jason Rants, all right, no, absolutely, thanks for joining us. Look, Jason, Seattle looks a certain way to those of us who kind of just see the videos and stuff on Twitter, and we see kind of like all the insanity. But you know you live there. That's how you know. You've built such a national profile here, and so you would know how is Seattle coping with
this police shortage. Well, so there's two separate issues. Number One, the city has gotten significantly cleaner than it has been in the past due to a mayor starting to take
seriously this crisis. On the other hand, at the same exact time we have this increase in violence, we have an increase in non violent crime as well, and it's led in large part to permissive policies, some on the city level, some at the state level that basically say we're not going to put bad guys where they belong, which is in jail, and we have so few cops. We have just a little over eight hundred police officers. Now, two years ago that number should have been between fifteen
hundred and sixteen hundred. They've now lowered their goal to about fourteen hundred, but we're still very long ways away from there, and we're very clearly not keeping up with the need because frankly, not only do we have a retention problem, but we have a recruitment problem, and ither thing is really being done that's working. Yeah, So I have a question. So these shortages that we're talking about right now now, are these things that have happened over
the past couple of years. Are these things that have happened CENTERLA over the past decade. And what I'm trying to ask is how much of this stuff is directly related to all of the defund the police and sort of anti cop rhetoric we've been hearing from the left over the past couple of years. Yeah, over the course of the last two years, it's definitely accelerated. But this was a problem going into the defund movement, where they were still short staff, but nowhere near where they are now.
We've lost somewhere around four hundred and fifty officers just in the last two years, and that really started to surge, this exodus around the time of the BLM movement and all of the riots that we were pretending are mostly peaceful. And then beyond that, you have, of course, the politicians who constantly are upping the rhetoric, almost as if it's a competition to see who can be the most anti cop.
And when you're constantly calling cops racist, and then you have the national conversation and rhetoric around police officers, it's hard for a lot of folks to say, yeah, I want to get into this as a job or stay in this as a job. And so we saw so many people just deciding to either leave some of the big cities like Seattle, New York, LA. All of these cities have been having this problem, but others are just saying, yeah, I just don't want to do this anymore. It's not
worth it all right. So, Washington State is one of several jurisdictions that has banned police from chasing criminals, which is crazy. Um. In a recently recorded nine one one call, a man actually calls the police on the police for chasing them. Take a listen, and my wifefended and the illegal Purswe the capital tend that people they're not plased to be able to change illegal they can have not changed if there's an illegal. You know, I don't mean to laugh, but it's all so crazy when you think
about it. So I want to ask you how are cops on the streets in Seattle, UM dealing with these kind of restrictions. I mean, they're upset that they're saying, you are not allowing us to do our jobs. In the case of that audio that you just played, because I broke that story. When I heard that audio for the first time, I was like, oh my gosh, it's really in capital encapsulates what this problem is. Where you make these different changes to laws. They're not happening in
a bubble. The criminals actually know that. And so what cops are saying now is that they're seeing the behaviors of criminals starting to change, which means they can't effectively do their jobs and or it's more dangerous for them to do their jobs. So in the case of that audio, this suspect's name is Isaac Sissel. He was accused of holding his girlfriend hostage in that car with a weapon. Thus, under the law, it's a little bit of a gray area.
But the police said, actually, we can in fact chase you in this case because it's the probable cause for a violent crime, and there's some nuances with Washington state laws it relates to domestic violence. So they decided to go ahead and chase anyway. They ended up making the arrest and he's going to be charged it looks like officially and it's going to go through the process. But you know, there are criminals who are very clearly taking
advantage of the law as is written. That's why we're seeing a ten thousand percent increase in catalytic converter theps in the state of Washington since twenty nineteen. If you can commit a crime very quickly, get in your car and just drive away, you don't even have to speed away. Police cannot chase you. The only way that they can chase you is if there is amongst a few examples of probable cause for a violent crime. So I'm gonna
have to this very high bar. So I'm going to ask you this a quick one and then a little bit along one quickly. This defund the police rhetoric and all that stuff. Now we know that this is coming from the clowns on the national stage, right because it helps them get Twitter followers and raise money and all that other stuff. How much of this stuff is coming from the local politicians on the ground. Well, actually, Seattle is one of those exceptions to what you just said.
There are a lot of folks on the ground, activists and and in the Seattle City Council who were pushing very hard to defund the police, and they created a whole bunch of problems along the way, as we've seen not just here but across the country. When you defund the police, Hey, gus, what crime surges? So we actually did have It's still i think a minority voice as far as the general population, but they were pushing and
they saw some significant wins as far as their agenda goes. Interesting, all right, So recently San Francisco, DA, Tessa Boudine was recalled in La County, DA. George Gascon is facing a similar effort. Do you think the pendulum is swinging back toward a tougher stance on crime in the cities, Like, do you think that the people that live in these cities are just getting tired of the rhetoric because it's
making their streets so much more dangerous. Yeah, the question is whether or not you're seeing this regional momentum, which very clearly is happening. I mean San Francisco, that's progressives. I know that Chessa Boudin wanted to pretend that it was all this conservatives who are doing Conservatives clearly were not responsible for what happened with the recall because there are very few in San Francisco. So from a regional perspective or a local perspective, you're seeing it, especially in
San Francisco. The question is will that extend nationwide? And I don't know the answer to that yet, because there are two issues that you have to compete with. Number One, the George Gascon recall is significant. This has been the general campaign that the national media has paid the most attention to. Yeah, they talked about Jessibudine, but it was really always about George Gascon. He's got a much bigger
name recognition. If that fails, I fear that the momentum, at least from the media framing of it, is going to shift towards the negative. Because we're putting so much pressure on voters delivering in Los Angeles County because George Gascon and what he stands for. Beyond that, let's say the momentum continues to stay in this direction, which I certainly hope it does. Just because you recall George Gascon doesn't mean you got rid of some of the judges
who have gone very easy on criminals. Just because you win a couple of elections on a council level doesn't mean that you've shifted all of the power dynamics to the side that doesn't want to be found or doesn't want to go light on crime. So we're not going to see a shift take place overnight, at least publicly that the voters might not experience that. And I just
I caution folks to understand it takes time. You Democrats talk about institutionalizing things, well, they've institutionalized all these laws and policies and that's not easy to undo. So we just got to make sure that we're sticking with the momentum even after some wins, because the change doesn't happen overnight. All right. Always always a pleasure, always very informative. Jason Rands from Seattle, thank you very much for joining us.
Thank you. I appreciate it all right. Pride Month is generating a lot more controversy this year as videos like drag shows that include children go viral.

Yes, it is Pride month now, the annual time that the LGBTQI AK plus plus Yes that's a real acronym sort of spreads their joy all over the world. But look over the past several years it has become especially controversial. Editor has moved away from a message of love and acceptance to now sexualizing young kids.
In the past few weeks, outrage has poured out from Pride events held across the country and Dallas, an event called Dragged the Kids to Pride had young children handing money to twerking drag queens with bright neon lights, saying quote, it's not going to lick itself. And in San Francisco, a middle school held a drag show with a crowd of students cheering on for the performer. So as sexualizing young kids the right response and message Pride months should
be pushing. Well, let's ask the president of the log Cabin Republicans, America's oldest LGBT organization for Republicans, Charles Moran. Charles, thank you so much for joining, Thanks for having me on. I think you forgot two and an S somewhere in there. We're Alpha ne Americ. Now we're not just the letters. Yes, it's the two S S plus Kia, two Spirited everything else. So look, Charles, it seems like this has all gotten
a little crazy over the past couple of years. What is your thoughts on the overall craziness of what we're saying? And then this kid that drag show staying well, Rob. I think it's really important that we're having this conversation this month, and I think one of the things that Americans are realizing is that this has gone from a month of visibility to a month of woke corporate advertising and just has gone way too far over the line. It's I don't think that LGBT visibility has any problem
in society today in America. We definitely are having struggles in other parts of the country and of excuse me, the world where it's still illegal gay in sixty eight countries and we're in some way, shape or form, eight of them you can be executed for. And we're doing work to bring attention to that. But here in America, you can't walk down the street without a rainbow bat lacking you in the face, and you know, having the
this woke corporate mentality that really isn't authentic. And I think that Americans are waking up and seeing like we have moved beyond this issue of victimhood. And that's one of the things that you know, I think America and Republican leadership over the last couple of years is you know, we've moved beyond the era of victimhood. Liberals and the left love to put people in their box whether or not you're black, or you're brown, or you're gay, or
Asian or Latino or Jewish or whatever. If you're not a victim, you're of no use to the Democrats. And I think you're literally of no use to them. And you said something very interesting that I want to make a point it because you mentioned the places all over the world where you can still be executed for being gay, right, and so when you look at all of these corporations, they sort of change their logos to the Pride month
flags on Twitter right here. But when you look at the Middle East branch of all of these corporations, those logos they write the same, right Yeah, Mercedes, Benz, BMW, Cisco, Oracle, a lot of like these multinational corporations, pharma companies, whatever. Um. It's funny how they'll and even you know, we saw with the Disney mess, you know, with them coming out and trashing round Santis and you know we stood up
very round Santis um. You know. But at the same time, Disney was still taking their cruise ships to countries in the in the Caribbean that we're that still um like criminalized homosexuality. It's just so blatant that the hypocrisy is just to line their pockets with those pink dollars or stand up for it anymore. Of course, And it's so funny that you bring up Disney, Okay, it so obviously then don't say a gay slur against you know, Rhonda Santis and the Parental Rights and Education Act that he
passed in Florida. Of course, that don't say gay thing was a complete lie, right, and the left doesn't. The thing about this is and I said this earlier today in my opening sort of manifesto, the left lies and lies and lies, then they take a date breath, and then they lie some more. And it's very interesting that you bring up Disney, because now you know, the Lightyear movie that came out over the past weekend underperformed, some
would say it flopped. These people in Disney put a lesbian kiss into that movie that nobody wanted, nobody asked for. Apparently they put it in the deleted it, then put it in again, then tried to, you know, have a pr blitz about it. Apparently there's something about this that is turning off parents, and I think it's the push
of all of this stuff on kids. And speaking of which, so the Oklahoma Pride Alliance has a flyer and don't put this up on the screen and it says this calling all musicians, drag artists, dancers and talent ages thirteen to twenty. Oklahoma Pride Alliance Youth is currently accepting applications for performers. Don't miss your chance to perform at Pride Fest. Look, I don't know when sort of indoctrinating kids and putting all of this stuff in and bringing like child drag
beans and all that stuff. I don't know when that started, but it needs to end now. And so Charles with you and the Lockhabn Republicans. So what are you doing to sort of get the word out that there are gays and lesbians in this country that do not want this. Well, one of the first things is being vocal invisible about it. And it's very obviously to break through the mainstream media narrative.
When Chaston Buddha Judge got on TV and started trashing the parental rights backed in Florida with Governor Stantis Lockhabn, Republicans jumped right in and I got on TV and imediately and called them a liar. When you see will corporate media continuing to push this, it's part of a larger narrative that I see, and it's it's a lot of people see it, and it's born out of the
identification of critical race theory. But it's this destruction of cultural morays in Western society that the left and Marxists really deem is being an impediment to their takeover of Western civilization. They've taken down religion, they're trying to take down race. Now they're trying to take down gender, and they're using things like schools, the entertainment industry, will corporations as an attempt to just blur the lines that gender
doesn't matter in society. And we all know I mean and me is a firm art and gay man that gender has an absolute construct and it's had an important construct in Western society. And the left, just as they've tried to tear down race, they've tried to weaponize religion, they've tried to weaponize our history. Now they're wept trying to weaponize gender. And it's it's partner this march on the left to remove these types of cultural morays that
are so important. And gay conservatives are standing up and saying enough is enough. This is not LGBT equality, This is woke, radical gender ideology. This is not the same as as as as pride, it's not the same as equality, and under no circumstances should this be misconstrued. And somebody has to stand up and say it, and we are and so are moms and dads and parents across the country. There are supportive of LGBT equality, but they are not going to go down this road of a radical gender
redefinition and society absolutely. And so let me ask you this, what do you say to some conservatives that you know, maybe watching this right now, that say they need to get rid of pride altogether. I don't care if you clean it up. I don't care if you take the kids out of it. There is no space for this at all. So what do you say to them? You know, people can have their moment to celebrate whatever they want.
You know, here in New York where I am for the next few days, you know, that was the birth of Stonewall in places life loss as we had the Black Cat UM. The birth of the of the real gay civil rights movement with political work was the Briggs Initiative in California and then Governor Ronald Reagan was heavily involved with that UM, you know, to to help gays
come out of the closet as conservatives UM. And there is a there is a component where we can you know, be proud of who we are, of our accomplishments as a community and how we take care of one another. It doesn't all have to be drag shows and camp and you know, we have built a real community. And you know, Rob, you're part of our conservative UM community as well. Like we take care of one another, we
look out for one another. And that's if we go back to de Toqueville and the founding of America where we have groups of people who have a similar shared interest, where we do communities us, where we're looking out for one another. A lot of us are single, may not ever have kids. We've got to be there for another And there's a lot of positive ways that pride can manifest itself, senior housing, healthcare for one another, making sure that we're there to look after one another so the
government doesn't have to do it. So there is really an opportunity for pride to be used as something constructive for our community. But what we're seeing right now is a marketing show that just can't really be put in any kind of positive frame whatsoever. It's just destructive, all right. President of the log Cabin Republicans, Charles Moran, always spicy, Thank you so much for joining, Thank you all right.
A major victory for Second Amendment advocates today as a Supreme Court strikes down New York's arbitrary limits on concealed carry permits. The host of counter Culture on the Epic Times, Danielle de Suza, joins us next to give her tay stay with us. Each morning, the President of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country. It's called the President's Daily Brief,
or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear your very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to start your morning. We the President, myself, many of us are deeply concerned and troubled by the
Supreme Court's ruling today. It I believe defies common sense and the Constitution of the United States. Vice President Kamala Harris deeply concerned and unhappy about the scotus ruling this morning on concealed carry permits in New York. But this is a huge win for supporters of the Second Amendment. As scotus Blog reported this morning, the Supreme Court strikes down a New York gun control law that required people to show quote proper cause to get a license to
carry a concealed handgun outside the home. The vote is sixty three. Joining me now to discuss is Danielle de Susa, host of Counterculture with Danielle de Susa. Thank you so much for joining me. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Hi, Rob, thanks so much for having me. I mean, I think what's so crazy about this is Kaplin Harris. She is no legal scholar. She literally clearly has not read the Constitution, has not read the Second
Amendment to see that our rights shall not be infringed. Yeah, it's very interesting about that. And so when you look at all the conversation that's happening on social media today, because you know, I follow people on the right and the left, it's really interesting and important to follow people on the left because they have to see just how
uninformed they are. But literally, people are saying that it's so cool that, you know, this is sarcasm that the Supreme Court just struck down the law to about you know, the right to the Supreme Court just struck down this concealed carry thing for New York. While they're about to strike down the right of women to have an abortion, you have to make the note that abortion is not in the constitution. These people have no idea what's in
the constitution. But let me go to this. So Justice Stephen Bryer issued a statement on the new ruling, saying that, quote, only by ignoring an abundance of historical evidence supporting regulations restricting the public carriage of firearms can the Court conclude that New York's law is not quote, consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation. That is what comes when you actually read the Constitution, when you actually know
what's in there. So, Danielle, question to you is why is the left so high up on this horse? Like, why is this the hill that they are so ready and willing to not only die on, but to show their complete ignorance about. Yeah. Well, I think the timing of this was probably just really a gut punch for them because they were so ready to pass these restrictions
in the Senate. I think they felt really good about themselves, They felt like they were on a great role, and then they realized, oh wait, no, actually, even if we have something, it could get struck down by the Supreme Court, or it wouldn't even be constitutional. Clearly. But I think i'd have to go to Clarence Thomas with what he said. He basically wrote that the Second Amendment is not an
inferior amendment. So some people try to think, oh, well, you know, maybe the First Amendment for a speech or due process, all of these other things, they are more important than the Second Amendment is one that we can just keep chipping away at, and every time there's a school shooting or whatever happens, let's just keep chipping away
at this. But it truly is an amendment, and it has the same pity and tenacity as all of the other amendments, and so I think we have to protect it because we don't need to explain why we have this right. That right is already there, and if we want to exercise that right, that is our right. So New York was taking away one of our fundamental rights. And that's very interesting. In speaking of New York again, So Democratic Governor Kathy Hokel of New York is of
course unhappy about the decision. In her response, and I want you to watch this. It really speaks to a lack of common sense that has always coming from the left about this issue. So watch her reaction to the
news from the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the United States of America has stripped away the State of New York's right and responsibility to protect its citizens with a decision which we are still digesting, which is frightful in its scope of how they are setting back this nation in our ability to protect our citizens, back the days of our founding fathers. So, I, look, I'm not some Second Amendment sort of like scholar. I am very much pro to A. Look, I'm a veteran, I was
in the military. I believe in Americans fundamental rights to protect themselves. Right. You got a black guy and a woman over here talking that are both very pro to A. But the thing that irritates me the most about what Kathy Hulk was saying is that it is divorced from
common sense. So what she is trying to tell these people that she is lying to is that this law is going to make the streets more dangerous because it is allowing or it is going to make it harder for them to protect themselves, which is completely ridiculous, right, And so they are lying to their people for what reason.
I am very curious as to what your thoughts on this are, Yeah, it's completely ridiculous, And I guess I would just want to point out first that even when she's holding up those papers, it's clear she hasn't even actually read the decision. She's basically saying, Wow, this is so long, this is so much work. I actually don't even know what's in these documents other than the fact that I know I'm against it. I know it's setting
us back in history. And I feel like the left, you know, they always say that they always act like anything they want is going to push us forward, that's progress, but anything that the conservatives want is setting us back in time. Well, I would say this is actually huge progress because now you know, women in New York, like myself can protect themselves if we are walking around on the street. And I'm sure she's noticed and others have
noticed that it's not a safe place. The city has taken a clear downward spiral with homelessness and crime, and unfortunately the police are not always there next to you to jump in and help you, and so sometimes you have to be ready for those things. But again, we don't even need to justify ourselves in this because it's
our right. But Sadly, I do think many people who live in Democrat areas and live in cities probably will actually need to be using this more than if you live somewhere else where you might be surrounded by more people who are carrying here. Unfortunately, that's pretty unlikely. It's basically been impossible to get this concealed carry license, even if you explained all these things. Here are death threats, here are reasons why I need this. Yeah, good luck.
I mean, you probably weren't going to get it unless you're literally Caffy hokel and you are some person who has you know, secret service level kind of release around you all the time. They always have armed security. They always in speaking of which, and I think I got time to go to one more here. This is the View's Whoopie Goldberg, and she is saying this, by the way, from a protected set at ABC Studios right on the Upper West side of New York City. This is heard
declaring the new concealed carry law insane. We have been trying to figure out how to get a handle on all that has been going on in this city, in particular with gun laws, and it makes you wonder, what does this mean? We saying to me, well, yes you can. Yeah. That's the thing about it is is that And what I love about the view is that it is literally be dumbish on television. These people are so misinformed and
uninformed about everything that they opine on. But this is the case of a New York City liberal that has protection everywhere she goes, from the car service to the armed guards that are protecting the set, declaring you're an eye. Regular citizens are our ability to protect ourselves completely insane. We are short on time, so I'm gonna let you go, but thank you so much. Danielle Desuza, host of Counterculture with Danielle de SUSA to join me to talk about
this very important issue. Thanks Rob. All Right, Americans are feeling a major economic pinch between inflation and high gas prices, but don't worry. The White House has a plan to save you eighteen whole since we've got the video that in tonight's Quick Hits, stay right there, Congressman Eric Swalwell makes up a doozy of the story and Biden gets tongue tied yet again. Oh my god, I mean, so what else is new? Those stories in tonight's Quick Hits
let's get to it. Eric Swawell is tweeting stories again. He loves telling. His story is probably some of the same stories he told Fang Fang in bed that Chinese spy. But that's neither here nor there. This is what he said in a tweet. He said this today. I gave a tour in the Capitol and was stopped by a father with his young boy. The father yelled at me, Hey Swalwell, and then told his son that Swalwell, he's trouble. He doesn't back Trump. I kept walking and felt sad
for the boy. He's being raised in a cult family. Oh that Eric Swalwell. He is such a stand up guy. He is such a proud American. He is such a good American that he was duped into having an affair with a Chinese spy. And what kills me about the
left folks. What kills me about the people these leftist Democrat politicians is that these people know that they are so deeply protected by the Democrats in the mainstream media and that entire infrastructure, that they can walk around with their noses held up high at people that voted for Donald Trump, knowing like Eric Swawell does that he literally had an affair with a Chinese spy, okay, And so these people pretend that these things don't exist while they
look down on Trump voters. So instead of you know, figuring out what was going on with China, instead of maybe investigating this woman that conned her way into his bed, he spends all of his time trying to demonize people that voted for Trump. And don't think that this just is about Donald Trump. It'll be about Donald Trump, It'll be about Rhonda Santis, it'll be about any other Republican because all of these people, All that these people do
is demonize the other side. Speaking of demonizing the other side, that is pretty much all that Joe Biden does. But now Biden, oh, he has got another tongue twister for us again. He is creating words right now. Look at this. America is a nation that can be defined in a single word. I can define Biden in a single word, and that word is embarrassing, you know. And the thing about this is people is this. There are people that actually voted for Joe Biden. There's some of them out there,
you know. Apparently maybe some of them are even watching right now. Apparently you have been red pilled by all of the nonsense that you've been seeing. You've come over to the dark side. If that is you, I would say welcome. But here's the thing that really irritates me. We are not allowed to talk about the fact that Joe Biden is frail and weak and weird. We're not allowed to talk about the fact that the oldest president
in United States history regularly does this. The guy falls off the bike, guy trips up, he trips up the Air Force one. He does all of these things. And let me tell you this, if Trump had messed up in front of so many cameras in this way all the time, you would see weeks and weeks and weeks of media coverage. It would literally be NonStop with these people sort of talking about how unfit for office he is. But we don't see that with Joe Biden because we
have an entire infrastructure that is covering for him. It is ridiculous and it is un American. Speaking of which, Karen Jean Pierre, the Biden administrations liar in chief, as I said earlier, tells you she is lying to you, or she's telling you that saving just a little bit of money on your gas will go a long way. He sees this as an opportunity to a straightforward, simple way to deal with the pain that the American people is dealing with, giving them some relief at the That's
what we're talking about. It's straightforward, it's simple. The President would like Congress to act. We're talking about, you know, eighteen cents per gallon, which is going to go a long way. If you look at the average of states as thirty cents. Just looking at those two things, that's almost fifty cents. That's going to go a long way for three months. That's it. Three months. That's a if.
But yeah, absolutely, but we're going to continue to work hard and to to get the American public some really wow that eighteen cents, while it's gonna go a very long way. You know, you add that to what was it that they that they saved us at the fourth of July in twenty twenty one, was like sixteen cents. While you put that all together, you may have enough for a hot dog. These people are ridiculous. You have to understand that they say these things because they live
in the bubble that they never get out of. Well, look that is all the time we have for tonight the No Spin News Bill Riley is coming up next. As my good friend Buck would say, she'll tie
