Hold The Line w/ Buck Sexton - 06-30-22

experience a summer of increased violence. Who city and state leaders are blaming the issue on guns rather than their own failure to enforce the laws, and they're undermining of the NYPD. Friends, It's time for hold the line. Welcome to hold the line on buck Sexton. It happened to the neighborhood that I grew up in here in New York City, the Upper East Side, a place not generally thought of as having much, if any violent crime going on.

It's one of the safest areas, safest neighborhoods in all of New York City, and yet there was an execution style killing their last night. A young woman twenty years old shot in the back of the head. It is believed that her killer was an ex boyfriend. The NYPD telling reporters today that he had a history of threats and violence against her. She was supposed to meet with the father of her child on the street and he came up behind her allegedly and killed her on the street.

This is the kind of crime that gets a lot of attention because of the heinousness of it, and it also is another fatal shooting on the streets of New York at a time when the numbers are far too high.

Now we have gone through before this situation where there was far too much violence in the streets of New York, as well as many other cities across the country, Houston, Philadelphia, Atlantis, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, they've all seen substantial rises and smaller cities like Saint Louis and burming Hammon Little

Rock rises in violent crime. And the way we deal with this successfully is to actually start enforcing the laws in a meaningful way against the criminal element, against those in our society who are breaking the law. But that's

not the plan that Democrats want to go with. Instead, their focus is on getting rid of and stopping the guns, as if there's any real hope, as if there's any realistic chance that they're going to pass more laws when you already have in place like New York very restrictive gun laws, but pass more laws elsewhere that stop people who are criminals from breaking those laws to use guns illegally in shootings like the tragic one that happened just

last night in New York. Here is the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, at the scene of that shooting of the twenty year old mother. This entire day, we have been addressing the problem of the over proliferation of guns on our street, how readily accessible they are, and how there is just no fear in using these

guns on innocent New Yorkers. When a mother's pushing a baby carriage down the block, or an individual a woman is pushing a baby carriage down the block and his shouting point blank range, it shows just how of this

national problem is impact in families. So he's focused on the guns instead of progressive prosecutors who will not bring the necessary cases with the severity that is commensurate with the offenses, won't do that in New York City, won't do that in so many places across the country, and instead focuses on guns because this is more politically acceptable to him, as if New York, which has what they call a river of steel or the steel pipeline that comes from a number of other states that have more

accessible firearms laws. People illegally sell those farms. It's called a straw purchase, the violation of federal law. People legally sell those guns to individuals and then they take them across state lines and they use them in heinous crimes. This is something that I had not seen before in New York, but it might be something that becomes more

common in New York City. A gunman on a scooter in broad daylight, on a little scooter there, tried a drive by scooter shooting, actually tried to commit a murder via scooter shooting. You see it here. Nobody was hurt in this shooting, fortunately, but this just goes to show you this is broad daylight caught on camera. The criminal element does not have fear of police action. They think they're going to get away with the stuff, and unfortunately,

in so many cases they a are. And this is because Democrat leadership in places like New York lack the political will to do what is necessary, which is lock up criminals and back the police. We see what the numbers tell us. I mean, here's a graph showing murders starting in twenty eleven New York City to twenty twenty one. You see it was at five hundred and fifteen and then it dropped way down. It actually got below three hundred. And then look at that in twenty twenty the BLM movement.

All of a sudden that NYPD gets a billion dollar budget cut. There are all these changes being made, like the playing Closed Police Division, one of the most useful, most effective anti crime units of the NYPD, the largest police department in America, is taken off the streets, reassigned to other units. They effectively disband that unit, and we see the predictable results. None of this is surprising, I mean, none of this is oh wow, how did we get here?

When you defund and undermine your cops, and when you have progressive lunatics running your prosecutors offices, which New York and many other cities in America do, right now, the criminals run free, and they prey on people, and they hurt people, and they kill people, and the numbers get worse, and the cops know this, and they know they don't have the political backing. They know that every time the mayor's officer in New York puts out some statement, it's

always about how they have to be ready. The new police units are being trained in de escalation, and they're going to make sure that they're not even scaring the community. Cops are only scary to criminals, to the bad guys in New York. All right, we actually like our cops here, but the left, the Democrats, especially rich Democrats who live in very safe areas, they feel like this won't really affect them. They don't care. A lot of cops are leaving. The NYPD's had an exodus. Police are on pace to

quit and retire once again in record numbers. They tried a recent recruiting drive and they got they want thousand. I think they got about six hundred, so just a little over half of the numbers that they wanted. That's a substantial shortfall that they're going to have to figure out what to do about. And it's not even just the NYPD in New York City that has this problem of horrible Democrat leadership results in the kinds of challenges that we're seeing here in the city. I mean the

decrease in quality of life, the increase in crime. Governor Kathy Hokel, who is among the dumbest people in American political life to day, when she was asked because she wants to pass these laws now to make it harder for people to bring guns into legally on firearms into businesses, so the business is going to have to opt into

allowing you to carry while you're in that business. Just makes it more annoying because you know, a criminal who's going into rob a liquor store or a bank is going to say, whoa hold on a second, this business does not allow lawful firearm carry, So I'm not going to go in there and rob it. Obviously that's not going to happen. So when Cathy Hicks asked if she has any data to back up her latest gun restriction ideas,

here's what she says. Do you have the numbers to show that it's the concealed carry permit holders that are committing crimes because the lawful gun to owner will say that you're attacking the wrong person. It's really people that are getting these guns illegally that are causing the violence, not the people going and getting the permit legally, and that's the basis for the whole Supreme Court argument. Do you have the numbers. I don't need to have numbers.

I don't. I don't have to have a data point to point two to say that this is going to make. All I know is I have a responsibility to the people to state to have sensible gun safety laws. I don't need the numbers. I'm just gonna do what I want. She's a moron, but that's not going to help. All right. The Supreme Court dealta blow to the Biden administration today

limiting the regulatory authority of the Environmental Protection Agency. Coming up, we'll talk to the founder and executive director of Power the Future, Daniel Turner, to explain what the new rules mean for American energy production.

Another major ruling coming out of the Supreme Court today in a setback for the Biden administration's efforts to combat climate change. They say, Court said in a sixty three ruling, the Environmental Protection Agency lacks broad authority to shift the nation's energy production away from coal burning power plans toward cleaner sources, including solar and wind power.

Driven now to discuss one of the most important environmental environmental decisions in a long time founder and executive director of Power the Future, Daniel Turner. Daniel, what's up man? Thanks for having me, Um Well, going to be with you. So just tell us what went down that day with us? What was that issue in this particular Supreme Court case when it comes to the EPA and its ability to make administrative law. Essentially, Yeah, this is ten years in

the making, right. This really started with the Obama EPA legislation like the Clean Air Act and giving it really really wide interpretation and administrators determining, well, if the Clean Air Act says this, therefore were allowed to regulate whole industries, right, And we were shutting down coal plants because it was under the Clean Air Act. And finally, the Governor of West Virginia and I'm in the great state of West

Virginia right now doing this, so I'm honored. Finally, the Attorney General of West Virginia pushed back and said, no, no, no, like you. If Congress wants to change the mandate of the Clean Air Act or any legislation, Congress has to write legislation on it. Bureaucrats cannot arbitrarily interpret them as they want. That has not within their power. That's all the courts did today was saying, no, Congress, you need

to write a law if you want that result. And the Democrat members of Congress are apoplectic, calling this, you know, irresponsible and radical. They're just saying, Congress, do your job. And what kind of costs? I mean, do we have any sense as to what this regulation would have meant in terms of making energy more expensive, making it harder for the power companies, the power producers to do what

they do for the people that need their product. Yeah, that's a tough one to answer because I look at this included in that as well as the human cost. Like I said, this is ten years in the making, and you have to remember when Obama ran for president, he said, I'm not going to make coal illegal. I'm just going to say that if you own a coal plant when I'm president, you're going to go bankrupt. We have shut down since then about two hundred coal plants nationwide.

Look at the cost of energy right now, right look at the looming blackouts that are coming. This is all the instability of the electric grid. But look at what we've done to coal communities around the country where we've taken industries that used to employ thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, and we've taken away their job. None of these green jobs ever materialized. Right, We've put them in underwater mortgages. We've shuttered their schools because there's

no funding. And now what are old coal communities have? They have opioid problems, suicide problems defended, all problem is worse in old coal towns. Right. So we've destroyed the lives of tens of thousands of Americans in the name of climate change, and no one's cried about them. Right. Power the future has I have you have? But the Obama administration, the Biden administration. Just yesterday, Jena McCarthy, one of the climates ares was, was applauding the number of

fossil fuel unemployment that has happened under her watch. They're happy that they're destroying the lives of Americans. So that's the biggest hole that it's taken. Chief Justice John Roberts was quoted in the majority opinion as saying a writing capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity. Maybe a sensible solution to the crisis of

the day. But it is not plausible that Congress gave the EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme. A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself or an agency acting pursue into a clear delegation from that representative body. I mean, I gotta say anything that reigns in the administrative state these days I view as a good thing. Daniel. I wanted

your take on this. I mean, I think what we saw during COVID, never mind, when you think about what's going on in the energy industry, was that three letter Federal agencies that decide that they have a lot of power to make law unto themselves, essentially are a huge threat to liberty, to commerce, to the everyday lives of

the American people. You raise a great point because COVID is the next step of the climate movement, as they've wanted the Biden administration to declare climate change in national emergency. And when you declare something in national emergency or a health emergency, you can shut down people's churches, right, You can force them to close their business, you can force people to be locked in their homes all for the greater good. And where does their authority come from. It

comes from this huge bureaucratic, unelected, regulatory state. So you're absolutely right. The left loves the bureaucracy and they love regulation because it's nebulous, it's vague, it's all encompassing. The left does not like the law because the law is specific. And if you want to work in the DC swamp and you want to advance an agenda, you need thousands of regulations. You need a big, nebulous world. And so

this is a huge wind for victory. It's a win for the energy industry, it's a huge win for freedoms in America. Quite frankly, that we're taking power back from the government also wors if you give us out there. Daniel on the state of the Biden administrations and treaties, quests, begging whatever you want to call it, to foreign governments to produce like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, to produce more oil instead of really encouraging it here at home. What's what's

the latest on that? Yeah, you know, last week, but the major oil CEOs were summoned to DC. But President Biden was very proud that he refused to meet with them. He sent Jennifer Granholm, which is, you know, a know nothing staffer really to deal with them. So he's made these tremendous outreaches to the Saudis, to Venezuela, to Iran. He wants the whole world to produce more oil, but he won't make the slightest overture to America because it

blows up his green agenda. And it just it's just fascinates me to see this guy really hat in hand, going around the world asking for an increase in oil production, knowingly need to produce more oil, but refusing to look here domestically. He needs the radical green movement on his side and h and he's not going to anger them

before the midterm. But we're suffering as a result. Are we seeing any movement from the Biden administration to get some of the regulation out of the way so that there can be more exploration and refining and producing of gasoline for the consumer market or are they taking even basic steps in that direction, or they holding out even though the elections looming. No, they're going to hold out as long as possible. Like I talk to people in

this base all the time. An oil driller told me just the other day that he's one of these quote unquote nine thousand leases we hear about. But he said, I can't get my right of way permitting right, the permission to actually drill a Well, that's the next step after your lease, and it's being held up by the Department of Interior. And he said it's been months and months that we're just waiting for them to give the green lights. So again, this is the power of the

regulatory state. Where some guy in the Permian basin he needs deb Hollands. Okay, right, where are the governors to say, no, no, no, We don't need some bureaucrat three thousand miles away in DC to tell us that we can develop our land. So they're slow walking the entire process. And it's deliberate, right. They want this green revolution. They want wind and solar, even though they don't work, even though they're expensive, even though they're made in Chinese slave camps. They want wind

and solar. And if the American people have to die in the process, that's just the necessary casualty in this great transformation. Daniel, appreciate you being with us thank you. In response to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Democrats, including Joe Biden, are threatening to eliminate the Senate filibuster in order to enshrine abortion rights in US federal law. We'll have more on that with senior writer at The

Federalist David Harsani after the break. First's talk about protecting your most viable asset, your home. I don't know if you saw this, but there's a recent story about an Arizona real estate agent that found the home she lived and was listed for sale. The problem was she wasn't selling her home. He was the victim of home title fraud,

a devastating crime happening all over the country. According to the experts at home title lock, the crime is in profitable and hard to detect, and identity thief simply creates a fake title transfer for your home and refiles as the new owner. Then you can take out loans on your home or sell it. Typical identity theft services don't cover you, and neither there's homeowner's insurance. Home title lock does home tuttle lock would say a barrier around your

home's title. The instant they detect anyone tampering with your home's title, they help shut it down and help get your home back in your name. Here's what you should do. Go to home tuttlelock dot com and read the testimonials from FBI agens and govern officials. Then register address to see if you're already a victim and don't even know it. When you protect your hometell him buck sends you to get thirty free days or protection. Home titlelock dot com.

That's home titlelock dot com. David HARSTANGI stops by in a moment, stay with us. I believe we have to hoify Roe v. Wade in the law, and the way to do that is to make sure the Congress roots should do that. And if the filibuster gets in the way, it's like voting rights should be. We provide an exception for this required exception to the filibuster for this action.

Only took President Biden about a week to call on Congress to cudify the right to an abortion into federal law, even if it requires getting rid of the filibuster in the Senate. Reuters is now reporting that Biden officials are concerned that more radical moves would be politically polarizing ahead of November's midterm elections, undermining public trust in institutions like the Supreme Court. So could we see this end to the filibuster a one off end maybe, or the potential

political consequences too much for Democrats to bear. Joining me now to discuss Senior editor at The Federalist David Harsani, David, appreciate you being with us. Oh, it is a pleasure. Thank you. So I have to say I wish they would stop with the This issue is so important that will break the filibuster, because I remember when a year ago it was a char one is so important that we will have to break the filibus or of course they didn't, But I mean, how do we even take

them seriously on this stuff? After a while, it's like, either get rid of the filibuster or don't, but stop stop pretending. Well, don't don't get rid of it. Yeah I don't like it, but I'm just saying I'm just kidding. Yeah, I get, I get yeah, yeah. I mean I don't think they're going to do it. I just think this is for show. Because a lot of people are mad about Rob Wade on the left, so he wants to

pretend that he's doing something. I don't think it's going to happen, but I do think it's really destructive, mostly because you're normalizing the idea that if you don't get what you want, you could just simply, you know, destroy it norm or destroy an institution like the Supreme Court if you don't like it. I mean, Biden is literally in Madrid criticizing and attacking an institution in the United States. I mean, I think that's unprecedented. I'm not one hundred

percent sure, but it was pretty bad. Also, the funny thing about this, maybe not so funny, is that he wants to make an exception for the Philip Buster only for stuff he wants, so that only Democrats can use it for bills they want to pass, but Republicans they can't use it. Right, it doesn't work that way. Harry Reid tried this with the judicial filibuster and it was destroyed. And if Democrats do it now, it will be destroyed for legislation and they'll pay a heavy price in the

long run for it. Plus, it wasn't that long ago that Biden himself was saying ending the filibuster was a dangerous thing to do. In fact, it was in twenty nineteen when he said this, should they ended the legislative filibusters, that's what's needed from I think we have to make that call on the fire. Ending the filibuster is a very dangerous thing to do because it's been used by progressives the whole career, our whole time to make sure

that we did not get rolled over. Yeah, he says back in twenty nineteen, there David that ending the filibuster's bad idea. I mean, does that even even pay attention Like Joe Biden arguing with Joe Biden from five minutes ago, five years ago, it just doesn't matter to any of the people that are supporting him right to say whatever, no principles, just go for it. Yeah, I mean he called he called the filibuster a pillar of democracy in you know, two thousand and five or whenever it was.

But this is a man who will drop fifty year old, you know positions, you know, because someone on Twitter is mocking him like that, like he did with the High Amendment. So he has zero principles and he's always been this way. He's never at any principles. People confuse his spinelessness and in trying to always be loved by the center of the Democratic Party for a moderate, for moderation, and that's not what it is at all. So I don't think people care about that. They don't pay attention. Most on

the left, they just don't care anyway. They have two sets of rules we're supposed to play by. Democrats use the filibuster on Donald Trump, I think in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty, like three hundred and something times, twenty eight times. I think, so they're they're incredibly shameless hypocrites about this. And I'm I'm a huge fan of the filibuster. I think it's one of the only things saving federalism

in any kind of way. If we didn't have it, I think it would lead to such a distabled destabilization of government. So I'm a big fan of it. And Democrats in the Senate used to be big fans of it as well. Yeah, I mean back in two thousand and five. Even Chuck Schumer began in two thousand and five, you mentioned a year said if Republicans can't get their way in the courts, we will not let them change

the rules. Watch this one. Because they can't get their way on every judge to change the rules in midstream, to wash away two hundred years of history. They want to make this country into a banana republic, where if you don't get your way, you change the rules. Are we gonna let them? I mean, first of all, Chuck Schumer's such a shameless, bloviating clown, but you know, been the Senate a very long time, gets away with it somehow.

I just think it's interesting the same people that are always telling us about how there's a need to protect the institutions of our democracy until all of a sudden it's not giving them what they want, and then it's like, let's pack the court, let's get rid of the filibuster. Anything goes. Literally, the court gave back an issued to the voters, and they keeps calling it anti democracy. I've not had one of these people explained to me how

it's anti democracy. I mean, you know, and they say the same thing about the you know about the EPA decision that came down. You know that that democracies overWe because you have to go to voters and Congress to ask them to do something. I don't even understand, because really, all it means to them, democracy is getting what they want, and that's a day that is a bit out of republic,

you know, if we allow that to happen. Here's AOC, by the way, who I actually think because of her social media and media presidents and ability to draw the conversation in many ways as crazy as it is among the more powerful democrats, certainly when it comes to the national conversation from the left, here she is straight up saying, yeah, let's let's pack the court, let's end the filibuster, go

for it. I believe that the president should come out in favor, forcefully in favor of expanding the Supreme Court. I believe that the president should forcefully come out in favor of abolishing the Senate filibuster. Those two actions dramatically increase political pressure and makes it much harder to resist. I just I love this. It's like they don't even

remember you mentioned the Harry Read situation. They don't remember what happened with that, changing the rules just because they want or two at that one point in time, right, they didn't like the long term consequences of that. It's like we're reasoning with spoiled children here. They're just like, oh, well, just this one time for the thing we really want, and of course there's a lot of different things that they just really want that one time, as if that's

not going to come back to bite them. It's kind of amazing. Well, well, of course, But you know, I think that there's a difference between her and some of the other people, and I'm not you know, if I take her seriously, you know, which I'm trying to do. One is that I think that the Harry Reads of the world and the Chuck Shumers of the world know better and are just cynical political operators who don't care

what they destroy to get what they want. I think she is a I don't know what's called her, a Marxist, Okay. I think she wants to incrementally go towards a centralized federal control that overrides the will of states, that essentially destroys the United States government in its present form. So if I take her seriously, so that's the difference between the two, and she is, i think, you're right, a much more powerful voice than people give her credit for.

Because a lot of younger people and people who are really plugged in online, etc. I think they are far. You know, they listen to her, they listen to her normalizing these her insane ideas, and it is also dangerous. It's a dangerous that she's treated seriously. Yeah, she's also truly weekly and obviously ignorant on so much and in so many ways. None of her supporters seem to care. You know, you just just blabbers on online and they think she's amazing and yes, queen and all this stuff,

you see, all stunning stuff. Anyway, Well, we're gonna try to say the country, David while we can. Thanks for being with us, my friend anytime. Thank you. Florida Governor Ronda Santist taking another step to protecting parental rights in his date by throwing a support behind conservative school board candidates. We have more on that with Sarasota County school board Member Bridget Ziegler. 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. Florida Governor Ronda Santists took the next step in protecting parents' rights in education across his state by jumping into local school board races with crucial endorsements booting last week. We need strong local school board members who are committed to advancing our agenda to put students first and protect parents' rights. I'm proud to endorse ten local school board candidates who will set our children up for success.

Sarasota County school Board Member Bridget Ziegler was one of the ten candidates endorsed by Descantists, and she joins me now. Bridget, thanks for being with us. Thank you so much for having me so. The governor launched the Desantists Education Agenda, which is a student first, parents centered initiative focused on setting Florida's children up for success, ensuring parental rights and education,

and combating the woke agenda from infiltrating public schools. How do the school boards play into this and what are you looking to do? Well. First of all, I want to thank Governor to Santis. It's remarkable that a governor chimed in and local school board races and a lot of people talk about how unprecedented is but so many things and the leadership that Rona Santis has done is unprecedented, and he realizes how important the decisions that are made

at the local level. I think we all saw that during COVID and all the items that you just highlighted part of his education agenda. While great being led by the governor, and then we have our Republican led state legislature, but it comes down to local elected officials at the school board level to hold that line, and they do

play a critical role. I'm proud to be in humble to be a part of the ten that he endorsed, and proud to say that I am looking forward to holding that line as I have since I first got on the board. So you're already on the board. What are the kind of changes that you're seeking to do?

I mean, I would assume there are other new school board members who are also looking I mean, given the incredible focus honestly, at the national level on some of the school board meetings in Virginia and obviously other states including Florida, parents all of the country really focused in on this. So what are some of the things that you're trying to accomplish at your Florida school board in Sarasota Well, first and foremost, so just to set the stage,

we have a board of five. While it's nonpartisan, you can go based on the policy philosophy, and we have a majority liberal board, as you'll find across the country. And so first and foremost, it's understanding that as an elected official, you work for the people. That is something

that has been lacking. I think you mentioned it when you talk about people coming to school board meetings and being frustrated because they've been met with disdain with parents whom they serve, being bothered by the concerns that they have. So I think it's in critical We have three seats up in Sarasota County. We have the opportunity to flip the board to a conservative majority that are focused on serving the people, for detecting parental rights and ensuring that

we're having academic focus not political agendas. That is going to be a huge focus and a huge opportunity. Now there's going to be other boards across the state and country where they may not have a majority. But you need a strong, vocal, common sense conservative that is there to serve the mission of the school district. Understand taxpayers pay into this system. Make sure that they understand that they are there to serve the people with the focus

of academic excellence. And so when you look at his agenda, when you look at what I hope to see in Sarahceta County, a lot of that is going to it's the mindset of the board, the public servants, if you will, because right now they are not public servants, they're self serving themselves. And was there one incident that got you first? Essentially, did something happen either with your own children in the school system or near where you live that got you

interested in doing this in the first place? And what are the kind of things that you you've heard of? I mean, usually people decide they want to join the school board because they want to address something you've told us some of the things you want to do on the positive side, But is there wokeness and CRT and Sarah Soda. I feel like people wouldn't think that's happening, but there are very red states that have some very

left wing school board stuff going on. So I got on the board early on with an eight month old. I was a new mom, and as many people understand, as soon as you become a parent, the entire world, in the view that you look at the world changes. Government takes a long time to work. I dealt with a lot of nonprofits and focused on children's issues, but there was a vacancy and I ran and I stepped off that legend, and I'm glad I did because it surprised me and it was a calling through that time.

I was surprised to see the antics and this is back in twenty fourteen, that the behavior of the board and that disdain that has been going on. That's not a new thing. But to go to current events, over some time, there's more of the bureaucrats see in those typical challenges that I saw. But over some time in the last four to six years, particularly aggressively in the last three with the social agendas the CRT broadly termed but and also the gender ideology. It was a very

big concern of mine. I launched a major focus in twenty eighteen around parental rights, because while it was around gender diverse guidelines and it's not anti anything, I'm just very focused on parental rights and ensuring parents have a

voice in a seat at the table. In those provisions, it said it's up to a student and a student alone to determine which gender and facilities that a student would use, and precluded staff from notifying parents, and it's said in elementary cases it's a case by case basis. And to me, just the emphasis of this is this government body indicating they know better than parents, and as a parent, that was wrong. And where does that end? And we're seeing that I was back in twenty eighteen,

so we've just seen it or rode further. I'm so grateful that the public has It's unfortunate that it took the much, but I'm grateful that people see it and we have a moment we need to course correct for our children and for their future and for the future of this country. And again I go back to Ron de sciances or governor. I am so grateful because he's

been bold. He has highlighted all the issues that so many people wouldn't weren't willing to take on and he's done it with gusto and fact based and so I am privileged in honor to live in Florida and to have his endorsement. But I implore anyone who's listening, watching to take a role, take an active role in knowing when your school board elections are. And Sarah in Florida their August twenty third. Most people think elections and they

think November in the state of Florida. Because partisan August twenty third, I can't say it enough to make sure that people show up because local government is truly where things happen, and education is key when you think about the local economy, the future of your community, in the future of this country. So I will keep fighting. We need strong backbones conservatives that are willing to understand as a public servant, you serve the people. And I'm looking

forward to the outcome. I'm obvious twenty three because I think there's a lot of energy and a lot of support and need to change this right the ship if you will. I know some other states are looking at the very detailed descantis education agenda and implementing parts of it. Perhaps they'll take it on wholesale over time. We have that education agenda by bullet point, keep schools open and reject lockdowns, educate, don't indoctrinate, Ensure parental rights and education,

and keep woke gender ideology out of schools. Support robust civics education, expand workforce development techno education. Reject the use of CRT, increased teacher pay, continue support for school security, mental health initiatives, Protect the rights of parents, Guarantee the right of parents in curriculum transparency. I mean, those all seem like really good things to me. Bridget is your school board on board? How could you? Again so common sense?

How could anyone deny these? And again it is he Ron de SAMs is a remarkable leader, and that's why so many people are flocking to Florida. Again, make so much consense. But ironically and surprisingly, we have many school board members across the state who are trying to reject it. But this is the key part. They're rejecting it because it is a from a partisan standpoint, because they perhaps the Democrats and liberal Democrats or progressives doesn't line up

with their agenda. Everything that the governor has listed out is focused on academic outcomes for our students to achieve and that is the purpose of education. So it is again it's a breath of fresh air that he's taking this fight all the way down and making everyone aware the impact that local school board elections have. His agenda is again common sense and resonating with not just Republicans,

but NPAs and former Democrats. I say that because we're seeing numbers of people leave the Democrat Party because of their progressive, extreme agenda that does not resonate with the real life issues that people are worried about, particularly their children as they raise and want them to be productive, successful members of society. Bridget, good luck to you in this mission. Thank you so much for being with us.

Good to see him, Thank you so much. Yes, who's probably the most excited about the news of President Biden doesn't want to count drunk driving as a felony, Nancy Pelosi, that story coming up in quick Hits. DHS Secretary may work us found the admits that he understands why border patrol agent morale is down, and the White House COVID response coordinator says that a COVID shot once a year is the goal. I've seen that one coming, In fact, I think we did. But it's probably gonna be more

than once. That's gonna be every year. Time for quick hits. Let's get to it. One of the most annoying things that you'll see about the Democrats and the leftist mentality is their usage of children for political messaging that has nothing thing to do with kids. Right. They'll put children forward about gun control and act like, oh, but it's because you know, we're also scared of the gun violence

that's going to be visited upon small children. I've seen kids at protests who are toddlers holding up these signs. Why are they making their children do this stuff? Well, a young child in Arkansas was, by their parents direction, leading a my body, My Choice protest. So they love

to politicize children. It's also why they like to indoctrinate them at the schools as young as they possibly can, to brainwash people, to make them believe in a leftist orthodoxy, and most importantly, to make them incapable as they grow older, of thinking for themselves, of thinking through issues as an individual instead of just going along with the herd. President Biden said something pretty weird today. He's pandering. It's what he's always doing. You know. Biden is now the big

criminal justice reform. Remember Biden was the guy in the nineties just signed the big tough on crime federal bill that now he's apologizing for. It's actually a pretty good bill, but now he's apologizing for it because you know, social justice means that criminal should get away with things. Apparently, here's Biden saying he doesn't want to count drunk driving as a felony. Watched you only arrest for the purpose of dealing with a felony that's committed, and I don't

count drunk driving as a felony. And that's interesting, is Joe Biden. You have to wonder is it that he's so old that he isn't really with it sometimes or is it more that he's just always been really dumb. It's tough to tell. Is it more cognitive impairment from age, or Joe Biden is actually just kind of a low IQ guy. I'm persuadable either way on this one. So today a border patrol, or rather a border ruling came down.

That means that remain in Mexico is going is ending is effectively over which the Bide administration wants to do because they want the continued illegal immigration to flood into the country. They like this, they don't want it to stop, and they're willing to act in bad faith and effectively ignore their obligation under federal their border to get there. They simply don't care. It's a border that's the worst it's ever been from the perspective of lawlessness in law

and order. And here is may Orchis admitting, yeah, you know, border patrol morale is down, and he gets why. Watch if you could just talk a little about the challenges we have, how the department is really going about trying to curtail this. What's the most effective efficient way, and now what is our path forward? So I will tell you the frustration of the individuals, you know, with the badges on the ground and the whole striped firearms is earned. Yeah,

just we need to be very clear about that. In our border patrol agents. You know, their morale is down and I understand why. Yeah, because you're a tool of the left and you won't actually allow for the border to be secured and for the laws to be faithfully enforced. Pretty straightforward. White House COVID nineteen response corp Intro doctor she'sh Ja says, you know, once a year COVID shot.

That's what we're going for forever. Watch. So is the COVID shot going to end up being like the flu shot or at some point will we not have to get it? Good question. Right now, we do not have a vaccine that's going to give you lifelong protection. Our vaccines so far have been giving about sort of six to twelve months of protection. My hope is as we continue to make improvements, that we will get to a

point where you get to an annual COVID shot. That's not quite where we are, but right, but we are making progress, and I think that is the goal is let's get it to once a year. Americans are used to it, most Americans will get it. That'll be a great way to manage the virus. Are you gonna be mandatory? Though? Notice how they had to admit the shot nowhere near as good as they said, not even close. They live view, they don't care. That's everything I told. The line The
