You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Earlier today, in Jerusalem, President Biden put her on on notice about its nuclear ambitions during a joint news conference. Well it is really Prime Minister Yea or Lapide. But despite the tough talk, the President is simultaneously trying to revive the Obama era nuclear deal that has caused a lot of friction with
America's closest ally Israel. So what else will unfold during Biden's Middle East trip? I'll discuss and tonight's holding one. We mean what we say as we mean what we say. They have an opportunity to accept disagreement has been laid down. If they don't, maybe it absolutely clear. We will not be said again, we will not allow Ran to acquire a nuclear weapon. Welcome all the line on buck Sexton. Joe Biden saying in no uncertain terms there that in
a nuclear Iran is a totally unacceptable state. But what does that mean? What is this Biden regime that has really set new records of incompetence, that has no political capital to spend even among Democrat voters these days. That is completely plummeting in the polls, that has shown no capability at home or abroad to improve on or anything. How seriously will the mullah's take Biden's word on this?
Did they listen to the words of a commander in chief who seems too old, who seems feeble, who seems befuddled and foggy at par too many times? Did they hear that and say, yeah, you know, we're going to change our policies here, We're gonna divert away from what seems to be a serious effort here to reach full nuclear breakout capability. Well, the Israeli Prime Minister Pain told Biden they get tougher run around because He's like, look, words alone aren't going to be enough. Words will not
stop them, mister President. Diplomacy will not stop them. The only thing that will stop I run is knowing that if they continue to develop their nuclear program, the free world will use force. The only way to stop them is to put a credible military threat on the table. You have said many times, mister President, that big countries do not bluff. I completely agree. It should not be a bluff. But the real thing the Iranian regime must know that if they continue to deceive the world, they
will pay a heavy price. That price, it seems, would be, at a minimum, military airstrike against the running facilities if they continue on this pathway. Because economic pressure may not be enough, the US and Israel did put out this joint declaration. The United States stresses that integral to this pledge is the commitment never to allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, and that it is prepared to use
all elements of its national power to ensure that outcome. Again, words that seem strong on this issue, but not particularly specific, and that then leads us to why Joe Biden is on the issue of foreign policy, a president that nobody can really put stock in. You'll recall that in two thousand and eight, when Barack Obama was the Democrat nominee, Joe Biden was a third tier candidate in that election.
He got a very small percentage of the actual vote and was generally a joke alongside people like Dennis Cucinage, but he was added to the Obama ticket specifically. Joe Biden was at it specifically because of his foreign policy acumen, right, the ability that Joe Biden would bring to the Obama White House to understand the complex foreign policy issues of the day. And then you can fast forward in your head through eight years of an Obama regime that was
on the foreign policy side, a total disaster. You had the Syrian Civil War breakout. Obama kept saying that we would lead on that issue and we would stop the violence. Were more than half a million people died in that conflict.
It also coincided with the rise of the Islamic State, which happened after Obama pulled troops out of Iraq, and all of a sudden we had a security vacuum in that country, a sudden security vacuum that was filled by Isis lunatics who managed to seize control of a few, well a large portion of that country and a few million people who fell under the reign of that terror regime.
The toppling of the Kadafi government in Libya led by people like Hillary Clinton, Obama's then secretary of State, and then eventually we all know what happened in the e Benghazi debacle. But you look across the board, whether it's Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, China, policy and for eight years while Biden was one of the primary voices and supposedly one of the main architects of the Obama administration's foreign policy, it all was a mess.
It just showed a total lack of strategic thinking and understanding. And so why would we believe anything would be better now that now that Biden and not Obama is running the show, is the commander in chief. We know that there was this deeply flawed irandeal signed assigned by the Obama administration in which it was pretty clear that Obama mortgaged, if you will, sold out the rest of his foreign
policy goals in the Middle East. No peace process progress, for example, not even the start of a failed peace process under the Obama administration. But it was also they get this Iran deal. But the Iran deal just allowed for Iran to get a lot wealthier and to integrate itself into the global financial community and not have to actually submit itself to the full scale across the board inspections of everything, including including military facilities, and never really
eliminated its ability to get to that eventual breakout. Range. Didn't stop the Iran deal. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action they called. It didn't stop them from developing ballistic missile capability, it didn't deal with Iranian support for terrorist groups all across the region. And so the Trump administration came in and said this is nonsense. We're just going to put a lot of pressure on Iran again that
they stopped this crap. Now the Biden administrations in office, and they're trying to get a nuclear deal, and here's Biden just this week saying they won't wait forever for that deal. Watch. We've laid out for the people, for the leadership of Iran what we're willing to accept. No, no, to get back into JCPOA. We're waiting for the response when that occurred. When that will come, I'm not certain, but we are not going to wait forever. We're not
going to wait forever or what I mean. You can almost imagine the mullah's asking that question out about what exactly is Joe Biden going to do? What evidence is there that Joe Biden is a force to be reckoned with as a foreign policy mind and as commander in chief now of the United States. Not much right, not much of anything. It's pretty shocking when you see this
continue to play out Joe Biden. It's it's reckless that he has done so much damage to our economy and has been so incompetent as president, forcing mask and vaccine mandates on people. All this idiocy, But when you see the global issues that Biden is actually facing. We already have a war in Europe that seems to have no end in sight. The Obama industrate, I'm sorry, the Biden administration has deeply mismanaged that. And now we have the possibility of a nuclear Iran on Biden's watch, and maybe
a Chinese invasion of Taiwan too. All these things could happen. And if you're our enemies, if you're the bad guys, what better time than now while you have the confused, doddering fool Joe Biden in the White House, we'll have more on his trip to than at the least with former White House Deputy National Security Advisor Steve Yates coming up at first, let's off've got the newest sponsor to
hold the line off grid. Panama A lot even worried about the reported food shortages and power outages headed our way. You're not alone. If you look at the skyrocket and cost of energy and food prices going through the roof. We're certainly heading in the wrong direction. Many are choosing to go off grid. When you think of going off grid, you think of living in the mountains, somewhere away from civil right. But there's actually a safe option for going
totally off grid in Panama, Central America. A modern home starts at only one hundred thousand dollars. These homes are fully set up on a self sustaining farm, with all of your needs met right on the property. Panama offers a stable government, cost effective, high quality medical care, and
a fantastic climate. There are only twenty four homes being offered in the community, so reach out to them quickly at off grid Panama dot com or call them now at nine oh four two three six four seven three seven. Again that's off grid Panama dot com or nine zero four two three six four seven three seven. Be patient, leave the message. We think that's going to set out quickly. They'll call everyone back though within twenty four hours we'll
be right back with more. Hold the line. While on is Middle East trip, President Biden is trying to reassure leaders that two things can be true at the same time. The United States can pursue a new nuclear deal with Iran, and can also use military force as a last resort to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. So which is it? Let's ask a senior fellow of the America First Policy Institute and former White House Deputy National Security Advisor Dvates.
Do you good to see you? Good to see you, Buck? Thank you. Let's start with the Iran equation here. There were some moments, for example, when Biden was in Israel where he said just earlier this week, the US will use force as a last resort. Watch this one in the past, that you'll do anything, and you say it again, that you'll ensure Iran would not acquire nuclear weapons. Does that also mean, sir, that you would use force against Iran? Is that what that means if I was the last resort? Yes,
So do you think one he means that? And to how worried are you we're going to get to that point? Well, it's something that you concern everyone if we should we should get to that kind of a point. I mean, we've as a nation had somewhat of our fill of protracted and dangerous wars in the broader Middle East, and that certainly would be quite a dramatic development. I think we have to take a step back when President Biden
is speaking. I wish it weren't so, but we never quite know when the president declares a policy whether he's actually setting it or whether a member of his staff is going to call for a cleanup on Aisle four and try to say this is what the president meant.
But in the broader Middle East, as you know very well, these words will carry a lot of weight, will reverberate, and really, if he was serious about trying to avoid that outcome, he would have embraced, rather than somewhat marginalized, the Abraham Accords, and he would have embraced the maximum pressure policy rather than going back to the tried and true appeasement which has led to this potential nuclear breakout.
And also just can he tell everybody, Stephen, what is going on with regard to the Iranian nuclear program right now? There was a headline a couple of days ago, I think it was from Reuters that at fordaw the Iranians have enriched uranium again. They have or are enriching it again, taken up to twenty percent that got new and their best centrifuges spinning in a highly fortified facility, So what's
going on there? Well, even the Biden administration's top envoy was somewhat sadly admitting that the Iranians are much closer to a breakout point in the year and a half of the Biden administration than they were before under the maximum pressure policies of the previous administration used to be there are estimates of weeks or months for them to be able to reach the dangerous threshold, but they're now enriching uranium up to a percentage point where experts say
it could be really just a matter of a day or two, the equivalent of flipping a switch. That's pretty shocking, and that was coming from a negotiator that has already tried to give them all kinds of benefits to induce them back into an agreement. I mean, Stephen, is this going to a place where you know, up to this point there's been this sense of status quo, means Iran could go toward a nuclear repon at some point. There's gonna be a lot of negotiation, but it's not necessarily
going to happen. Are we heading toward Iran's getting the nukes, or Iran's going to suffer through massive air strikes to stop them from getting the nukes. I mean, are we on is that the trajector right now? Or is the third way still possible? Well, I think that there are some alternatives that are possible, And first and foremost, I think the biggest mistake would be for the President or anyone else to lead us into a one on one
situation with the run. We have some substantial allies in the region that have skin in this game, and in some ways we should allow them to step up and
play their role. We we know for sure that Israel is quite concerned and would probably be willing and able to act independently if it got to nuclear breakout territory any but the Saudis have a pretty deep vested interest, and one of the key parts of this trip was supposedly applying some good traditional realism to American foreign policy in engaging the largest, most capable ally in the region to balance and deter the Iranians. And this focus can't
just be in the nuclear program. It has to be on the leadership, and they're building a stronger balance of power against Iran. That's what was lost when the Biden team minimized or sort of brushed aside, the Abraham Accords approach. So there's also, of course, the Saudi situation. Biden is heading the Saudi Arabia to advance the US interests their energy security a huge part of this, but also a lot of conversation around how when Trump was in office,
Jamal Kashogi human rights that became the huge focus. And right now Biden's going over to the Saudis to say, hey, can you pump some more oil? Is he going to address the Kashogi issue. We'll get to that second, But first off, he says he will send a direct message
of Saudi's peace and extraordinary opportunities. Watch this one, and when I see the Saudi leadership tomorrow, I'll be carrying a direct message message of peace and extraordinary opportunities that a more stable and integrated region could bring to the region and quite frankly, the whole world. Now, there are some points of optimism here in the Saudi relationship with the US ally Israel. Right now you're going to have the Saudi's allowing even more flights in the Saudi airspace.
They're moving toward total normalization of relations. But it's interesting because that really got going under Biden's predecessor, didn't it. It did, And frankly, it's being driven by countries and leaders in the region. In some ways, that's a healthy development. People tried to say the Trump administration was isolationist or
was bad towards alliances. It was quite the opposite, having allies being willing and able to step up and shape their own regions and engage in collective self defense and deterrence. That minimizes the need for the United States that has stepped in in a time of emergency. That's good for the United States, it's good for the alliances, and it's
good for those countries in the region. And it's really been this pathology that tries to drag us back into the grievances of the Palestinians may have or an overly narrow focus on a few issues, and when people want to talk about human rights, I don't really take any of them seriously. If they're okay with a president engaging a leader of China where there's an admitted international genocide, the crushing of Hong Kong and threatening of neighbors by
a nuclear power. If you don't talk about these issues with regard to engagement there. Then there's got to be space in the engagement of Saudi Arabia to do real things to try to bottle up Iran and advance American interests without having to enter another war. As overseas, he has also been speaking about the US relationship with Ukraine
and the Russian invasion of that country. Seems the bid administration policy where he says out loud that it's whatever it takes, as long as it takes to defeat Russia. We just sent them some more advanced long range rocket systems.
Where do you think that's going, Steve Well sadly, it just seems to be in a long term slow burn, and we just empirically, you have to acknowledge that the territory of Ukraine has been there's a significant percentage that has been lost to Russia in this conflict so far, and there's no real terms on the table for that.
Going another way, we also have become very out of balance in terms of Americans chipping in another billion dollars here, another billion dollars there, and the Europeans collectively are giving much much less, and so we really need to get back to a healthier approach, pressing the Europeans to step up and take care of other Europeans because apparently we have challenges in the Middle East that require attention that the President is highlighting, and there's been this long talk
of a pivot to Asia that never seems to happen because we continue to provide a welfare safety net to Europeans. Steve, thanks for the perspective and expertise. Appreciate it, my pleasure. Thank you. Buck. It's becoming increasingly obvious that the Left is desperate to spin the inflation numbers report to make it look like they're actually fighting the forty year high inflation rates. But Americans are smarter than that. We'll have that story coming up with the founder and executive director
of Power the Future, Daniel Turner. Let'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. Problem was, she wasn't selling her home. She 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 incredibly
profitable and hard to detect an identity. If he simply creates a fake title transfer for your home and refiles as a new owner, then he 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 tedle lock does. Home title lock puts a barrier around your home's title. The instant they detect anyone tampering with it, they help shut it down. They go to hometitlelock dot com.
Read the testimonials from government officials to tell you about this crime and then take action. Register your address to see if you're already a victim and don't even know it. And when you protect your hometell them Buck sent you to get thirty free days of protection. Hometitleock dot com hometitlelock dot com. I understand inflation is a real challenge to American families. I'm doing everything within my power by executive orders to bring down the price and address to
Prudent price syite. Prudent's war is already hurting American families at the gas pump from Prudent's price site in gasoline. Prudent invaded Ukraine, oh Dale with this Prudent price syite. Whenever they are my power to blunt Prudent's gas price. The Left is now desperate to spend the inflation numbers report to make it look like they're fighting the forty year high inflation rates. And no one wants to hide
this problem more than President Joe Biden. Here's Council of Economic Advisors Chairwoman Cecilia Rouse admitting that President Biden is relying on the Federal Reserve to fix his inflation problem. You know, the President is giving the Federal Reserve the space it needs to do what it needs to do to control inflation. The Federal Reserve has the dual mandate of controlling prices while maintaining maximum employment. It is doing what it needs to do. Other presidents have tried to
intervene in the actions. As President has said, they're independent. He respects what they need to do. And part of what the Federal reserves actions will do, and we're already seeing it is to cool off the housing market, which will find its way into helping with rent. So it's obvious we need to fight these inflation rates. But the president is not willing to do the work, Well, who are we going to rely and actually get the job done?
I mean now in studio, founder and executive director of the Future, Daniel Turner, Daniel Man, thanks for being here. Great to be here. So why are we seeing the inflation numbers that we're seeing right now? I mean, so much of it is driven by really high energy prices. Right Everything that we consume, transport, eat, manufacture, it requires energy. And as energy prices have gone up, the price of those goods have gone up, and all those prices ultimately
get passed onto the consumer. So if one of the ways to tackle energy, besides the outrageous spending bills coming out of DC, the other way to really tackle inflation would be to do everything possible to drive down the
price of energy, and that would ultimately drive down prices. So, talking for a second about the ways in which the Biden administration has made it harder for them to be energy fossil fuel energy production in this country, what are the things the one that everyone points a keystone axel pipeline canceling that for example, Okay, that goes in the column.
What else, though, what else have they done that has made it either more expensive or just more onerous from a regulatory perspective to do the refining as well as the exploration and bringing that gas up from the ground. Yeah, Unfortunately, this is an industry that requires a lot of government cooperation because of just the nature of the industry. So
Biden keeps talking about these nine thousand leases that we have. Great, we have those leases, but you need government permission to do exploratory drilling, and that's just one set of permissions. Then you need another set of permissions to do actual drilling and extraction. And once you extract oil and gas, you don't have permission necessarily to transport it. That's another
set of permissions. And all of these stages and all these steps require the government's cooperation, and all of them are being shut down by the Department of Interior, predominantly the Department of Interior. You add on top of that just land use access. So on passover on Good Friday, twenty percent of the land was made available when we have been given a promise of one hundred percent of land leases. Deb Holland, Secretary of Interior, only announced twenty percent.
We've removed the million acres of land for oil and gas exploration in Alaska, a million acres in the Gulf of Mexico, and just this week announcing we'removing more oil and gas leases from the Gulf and from the Atlantic. So again they're sending all these signals to the industry saying we're not going to let you produce oil and gas easily, and so the industry is responding in kind by producing lesson prices going up. So we know that the latest numbers, We've got this from Fox Business just
reporting on it nine point one percent in June. So that's more of a acceleration than one's expected forty year high. Right, you put out this statement on how Biden is not fighting inflation properly. With inflation exploding at home, President Biden heads to Saudi Arabia hat in hand to beg for more oil. If he wants to stop his terrible inflation, Biden shouldn't be in Saudi Arabia begging for oiler. Should be in America's Permian basin telling energy workers he's going
to get out of the way. Yeah, why doesn't he do that? I mean, if we're going to ask the Saudi's to turn our more capacity, why is in Biden try, I have never heard this White House say we want to expand oil production here at home. No, that's a great point. He's never said anything like that. He's given these saphisms, I want to do everything possible to increase energy production, but he's never said I want to see America produce more So. He's going to the Saudis, he's
there right now. He's sent envoys to Venezuela and to the Iranians, right so he understands we have a supply problem, but he's not interested in that supply coming from domestic producers. And just case in point, last week or two weeks ago, when the major CEOs of the energy industry were in DC, he refused to meet with them. Deb Holland, I'm sorry, Jennifer Granham, Secretary of Energy, met with them, but the President made it he was proud of the fact he
wouldn't meet with them. So again, he doesn't want to cooperate with us. And we can't survive without cooperation from government. So this White House wants to say that they have they're doing everything they can to deal with the energy crunch right now at the high price of gas, But they also think that the people that actually produced the
gas are basically dirty and immoral. He talks with more hostility towards the oil and gas industry in America than he does to the rest of the world, right than he does about our arch enemies. He has much more favorable opinions about gij ping than he does about American fossil fuel industry, and that's telling here is representative. Hakim Jeffries, for example, was asked about Biden's high inflation numbers. This is interesting to see what a political challenge this is
for Democrats. Watch this one, and I think that President Biden has continued to lead in a way that has brought about a strong economic recovery from the standpoint of low unemployment, increased wages, and significant job growth. I believe nine million jobs have been created under the presidency of Joe Biden. That's a record in American history. But issues remain, certainly as it relates to increased costs. So, yeah, Jakim Jeffries are saying the Biden's done a good job in
this economic recovery, and yet the American people disagree. Yeah. Yeah, the polling all shows that they put this squarely in Joe Biden's hands, and the American people aren't following for the fact that this administration has allowed them to go back to work and thought that that's job creation, right, So they don't believe that the president's job numbers. They also don't believe that first montage you play. They don't believe the pudin price hike, at the pudent price inflation.
They don't believe it's COVID. They don't believe it's supply chain. They're putting the energy crisis at Joe Biden's hands because they remember the campaign when he said, very clearly he said to that girl, look at me in the eye. I'm going to tell you I'm putting oil and gas out of business. They listen to him and and they believe him, and that's what he said he was going to do, and he's doing it. If the domestic oil producers had a White House that said, you know what,
let's just let's just do it. Let's drill, baby, drill, let's go for it. What kind of additional capacity could be brought online. I know it would take time, it's not an overnight thing. But let's say within the next couple of years, what will we be looking at. I mean, it took the president, the Trump administration in two solid years to get to true energy independence. We started celebrating it at the end of eighteen beginning of twenty nineteen.
So the industry takes a while to come online. But it did happen because the industry itself felt that they were getting the right signals from government that they were going to get out of the way. President Trump was incredible for this industry, but he didn't discover a new oil patch. We had no new technology that came about the miracle of a President Trump did for oil and gases.
He just let us do our darned jobs. And if this administration said, like, you guys are the experts, you do it responsibly, you do it better than anyone else in the world. Go out and find oil and gas and bring us to market, we would We would be bringing two or three million more barrels a day. And when we back to a dollar eighty nine a gas a gallon gas like we saw under President Trump, would be back to sixty dollar barrel oil. You know, this industry wants to make its money off of volume. It
doesn't want to make its money off of price. But the Biden does administration believes in government. They don't believe in freedom markets. Daniel, thanks very well, I appreciate it. Yeah. With the mid terms approaching fast, even the far left media outlets are starting to warn of a red wave on the way. We'll talk with Ryan Grudowski, author of They're Not Listing, when we return.

are tanking. So when we start to see Democrat voters changing their minds in the upcoming midterm elections, what I mean now, someone who knows this stuff backwards and forwards author of they're not listening and also check out his National Populist newsletter on substack, Ryan Gerdusky, Ryan, good to be with you man, Thank you for having me. So you've got this great piece the long shots which Republicans
can win that we least expect. Walk us through some of this, tell us who I mean, These are not the ones you're saying we're gonna win. These are ones you're saying in the piece because of the trajectory of the GOP right now because of the beginnings of the red wave, we could win and some of them are really pretty surprising. So take us through some of them. That's exactly right. So you have a lot of areas that Republicans are kind of cast out in New England
California where Republicans could see some resurgence. So let's take in new hand, New England. You've Alan Fung in Rhode Island's second congres National This is the western portion of Rhode Island. Alan Fung is the guy who's run for governor twice loss but he did very well in the western half of it. This is a district that's tracking right over time, and it could be the first time
Republicans see a victory in Rhode Island in decades. Similarly, in New Hampshire second Congressional district, you have thirty six year old Mayor George Hansell, who is a mayor of a fairly large town in the region called Keene, New Hampshire. He won by a huge margin for his mayoral reelection. He's running in a fairly democratic area. But once again, this is an area that went Republican in twenty ten or the twenty ten read way that they had there.
There are overall six congressional seats in New England that are up for grabs for Republicans, two in Connecticut, one in Rhode Island, two in New Hampshire, and one in Maine, those two being the long shots. In California in the Central Valley, and people talk about the Hispanic moving towards Republican,
especially working class Hispanics. There's no better part of working class spacks in the Central Valley of California, which is three congressional districts, two which are representing currently by Democrats, one by a Republican. California's ninth congressional district, Republican Tom Patty is making a bid to win one of those
congressional seats. If he wins, it will also mean that Republicans carry the nearby thirteenth Congressional District and the twenty second Congressional District, which is currently helped by Republican David Valdeo. Those are just some of the areas that people are looking. Similarly in the Northwest right now, Republicans just have four congressional seats, but there's four more that are vulnerable. Republican Canada Alec Scarleto's is running and he is the subject
of Clint Eastwood's movie fifteen seventeen to Paris. He's running too. So is he the guy who was on the bullet train who ran and grabbed the guy who at the AK forty seven who was going to do the mass casualty terror attack. Is that that's the guy? Yeah, Yeah, that's him. Yes, he's so. He's running for Congress. Two years ago he did fairly well. I got in the mid forties, didn't win. Is running now in an open
seat and in a Republican wave here who knows? And if he wins, it means Republicans are probably picking up two or three more seats in the Pacific Northwest, which would be monumental area that Republicans really haven't won many seats in a very very long time. Now, if the Senate is going to come down to a couple of races control of the Senate, Ryan, what are the races and how do you think the GOP is looking in them? Well, there's five major races. New Hampshire where the incumbent Republican
people have been selling New Hampshire is an easy Democrat win. However, the Democrat incumbents popularity is in the high thirties. You have Georgia, which is Democrat hell currently Arizona, Nevada, and then Pennsylvania, which is a retiring Republican seat for Pat Toomey. Republicans are in a mixed shape. In Nevada, certainly they have a top tier candidate, Adam Adam Laxolt. In the other states not they didn't do amazing recruitment. However, in
a wave year that may not matter as much. Certainly there's problems with the races in Georgia right now. Of herschel Walker is not the strongest candidate. He's had many many flubs in his background is troublesome. However, he could still pull up an upset there. If it is truly this astronomical wave A, Republicans are going to pick up victories left, right and center. Then it's going to be
the shocking victory will be Joe od in Colorado. Now Colorado, once again, Republicans haven't won statewide or presidential races two thousand and four. However, they have one in two and ten and in two thou and fourteen, and the Republican the Democrat rather said Bennett when he ran in twenty sixteen, only got fifty percent against a much underfunded candidate who got forty six percent, not a huge amount of money for a state that people considered to be completely blue.
So if there's been your shocking victory will be Joe od in the Colorado Senate race. And there's even been some talk in Democrats circles and some pieces in places like the New York Times, Ryan, I've seen on concerns about races in places like Oregon in Washington State, what are you seeing there? Yeah, Oregon is Oregon special this year because they have not only a Republican and Democrat, but an independent candidate, a former Democrat turned independent running
statewide for governor. She's received the independent has received endorsements from prominent Democrats and prominent former Republicans from the state liberal Republicans, so it's really up for grabs. Republicans have only won one statewide race in Oregon since two thousand and haven't won the governor's race since nineteen eighty two. So Christine Dreisen running for governor. Drazen running for governor, she could be the first Republican governor in forty years.
If she's able to pull off this upset. Washington Post, by the way, released an article titled Trump potential twenty twenty four announcement could wreak havoc on the mid terms? Ryan Play. This went out for us a little bit. First off, is it believe now? I mean, I know with Trump, let's believed could change tomorrow because Trump changes his mind and who knows, But does it believe he'll likely, in your estimation, announce before the election. If he does,
what do you think that does to the election? And what does it what does it all look like? You know, people were guessing he was going to announce on fourth of July weekend, which obviously came and went with no announcement. Is he going to announce for September? When they're saying possibly? But once again it's Donald Trump. I don't think that he is in any rush to announce. He is the presumptive.
He's presumptively running already. He would have the absolute lead if he did run as of this point, before debates happen or anything else. You know, who knows, But he is and he's got tons of money, so he doesn't have to rush to win to run. I think a lot of Democrats are hoping he does because they'll make the entire election about Donald Trump again. But really, what some voters minds is Joe Biden. It was like the
abortion comment abortion. The abortion decision came and went, and Democrats didn't receive any long lasting, real major bump in the polls. Neither did Joe Biden. Republicans generic ballot fell a point, but it's slowly climbing back up again. I just don't think these are the major concision issues on concerned voters minds, especially with a recession likely coming in Q four of this year, which would be near election day.
Even CNN is admitting the Democrats are going to face some real problems holding on to seats in the midterms. Then a recent article, they wrote the President Biden's approval ratings falling to the lowest levels of his presidency, that traditional pattern threatens Democrats, that sweeping losses in November's mid term elections ryan a pickup of what in the House and a balance of what in the Senate. In your mind, is a red wave the likes of which the Republicans
should be proud of. What is is what is hitting the number properly in your mind. If they hit two hundred and thirty five, that will be a very successful election, and thirty seas will be great. If they went two hundred and fifty will be a monumental, generational victory, the likes of which we really haven't seen Republicans hit that kind of a number. Anything more than that is just, you know, astronomical. But two hundred and thirty five, I
think would be reasonable. Two two hundred and forty, possible two hundred and fifty and a real big red wave, and anything more than that is just really cherries on the cake at that point. That means the Democrats will have really no functional power in Washington in the House, and they could even have defective Republicans and it really won't matter.

AOC admit she knows some more information about January sixth, apparently, and there's still been no Democrat that can tell us what a woman is, which is interesting. We got that and more coming up in quickts. AOC has some interesting information she shares about January sixth, and there has still been no Democrat that can tell us what a woman is, at least publicly. So we got
those stories in quick. Kids. Let's get to it. First of all, Oh my, here we have AOC talking about Capitol Hill police. Now, if I were to say a letting, I have said this before, but if I were to say, it's very strange that there's video of Capitol Hill police officers waving waving on some of the rioters on January sixth, that's a conspiracy. I'm a conspiracy theorists and bad person
for you been bringing it up. But AOC is very upset about the fact that she believes there are or the thought that she believes there are insurrectionists among the Capitol Hill police officers who were, as she says, holding the doors open for them on January six and who were effectively the enablers of the insurrection. Here she is
member of Congress freaking out about it. Watch if these insurrectionists and that there were actual officers working with this, And we never got to the bottom of that, and we never got any answers about that, and then to this day we're just supposed to pretend that that never happened. I have no idea what happened to the people on the inside who were very clearly sympathetic with what was going on and opening the doors wide open for that. So she's allowed to bring this up, of course, because
she's a Democrat. But it does raise some questions, doesn't it. Why did members of Capital police essentially wave on rioters that day? If this was really about security, securing the capital in the future, if this was about preventing something like that from happening again, wouldn't that be one of the first questions we would see answered. Wouldn't we have those those Capital Police officers testifying about why they just moved the barricades out the way and said, come on.
It seems kind of important, doesn't as to me? But then again, I also think it's important to be able to tell people what a woman is, which I think is pretty straightforward, like this shouldn't be that hard. It appears that there are Democrats who are still totally unable to answer this. The president of the National Women's Law Center was asked, and this is what you said about the very complicated question what is a woman? Since you
are the president of the National Women's Law Center. I was hoping that you could define what a woman is for us in this committee. Hearing that there are people who identify as non binary, I think, okay, we're not going to go there. I was hoping maybe you would be. I was hoping that maybe you would say something that maybe we learned in high school biology that has to do with X and Y chromosomes, but to which define male and female. But I guess we're not going to
get in there. Nope, we are not. Not with these democrats. And here is Kamala taking a page on a Biden's playbook with some you just got to hear this one. Watch together. We are expanding access to transportation. Seems like maybe it's a small issue. It's a big issue. You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home whatever that means. All right, that's different than I told the line No spinoos with Bill Riley is next. She'll tie
