Alaska Senate Candidate Kelly Tshibaka on Beating Murkowski

8 Apr 2022

CLAY: We are joined now by Alaskan Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka. She is running in the primary that will be going on, and then I want to ask you about this, Kelly, because I think it’s kind of fascinating. I know we’ve got a lot of listeners in Alaska. But you guys have ranked-choice voting, is my understanding, and the top four end up being able to compete.

How will that work? What would you tell people who are listening to us right now that want you to defeat Lisa Murkowski? How should they rank going forward? What is the way that the voting will exist there compared to what a lot of times is different than a usual election?

TSHIBAKA: Well, it’s great to be with you. Thanks so much for having me. I’m calling in from Noorvik, Alaska, which is on the western edge of our state so we’re like a border state with Russia so I’m hoping that the connection stays great. As far as ranked choice this November, the answer is really simple. The top four candidates will go forward.

Right now, it’s basically a head-to-head with me and Lisa Murkowski. We’re both going to the general election. The Democrat has dropped out, and I don’t know who the other two candidates will be because nobody else has raised, you know, more than several thousand dollars. The answer for everybody who wants Kelly to win is: put Kelly as number one and don’t put anybody else.

And I’m confident that we have a really strong chance of winning. The Alaska Republican Party has officially censured Murkowski. They did that before I ever announced my candidacy. She is not allowed to use the Republican name in her election. She’s running to, quote, “keep Alaska independent,” like Bernie Sanders is independent and she’s voting a majority of the time with Bernie Sanders now.

And then the Alaska Republican Party has endorsed me as well as President Trump. I functionally am the Republican nominee and Alaska always votes Republican in statewide elections. So when it comes to this ranked-choice business, if you just vote Kelly and keep everything else blank, I’m confident I will be the number one candidate in the ranked-choice scenario.

Anybody else who drops off, your ballot’s still going to count, we don’t need to worry about anything else. And so a poll that came out last week by Breitbart says that in the ranked-choice scenario I will win by two points currently, and we still have seven months to expand that lead. So it’s looking really good!

BUCK: Kelly, it’s Buck. I just want to say thanks for joining us, and I’ve been very clear. I don’t have to do what some journos — I’m not a journalist — do where they pretend not to support or not on to support one way or another. For me, the Murkowski vote against Kavanaugh is an unforgivable political sin. I’m just wondering, is that what spurred you on to decide that Murkowski doesn’t really represent in any meaningful way the GOP? What got you into this race? Why did you decide that you wanted to do this?

TSHIBAKA: Buck, that’s definitely one that’s really high for many Alaskans. It’s like she indicted him simply for being male. She opposed Kavanaugh, she filibustered Amy Coney Barrett, and then, of course, what the heck did she do yesterday in giving her full support to this justice who bends over backwards to defend child sex abusers and refuses to distinguish between two genders?

For me, this is really concerning as an Alaskan mom of five children. But the vote that absolutely got me into this — I am not a politician by background, even though I am an anti-swamp bureaucracy whisperer — is February 24th, 2021. I watched Lisa Murkowski cast the tie-breaking vote to advance the nomination of this radical environmentalist Deb Haaland to be Biden’s interior secretary.

She said, “This will hurt Alaska; I have many of you givings about it but I’m gonna do it anyway,” and she did this knowing that Deb Haaland plans to champion Biden’s energy annihilating agenda. And with that single vote she killed thousands of oil and gas and natural resource jobs across our state without feeling it at all. But I felt it like a kick in the gut.

Because my mom got an oil job before I was born, and that oil job helped my parents fight their way into working class America because my parents had ended being homeless in Alaska, and they just struggled like heck to get their feet up under them. By the way, it was because of that oil job that they moved into a mobile home and then into their starter home and then had me.

And if it wasn’t for that job I don’t know where our story would have been. So Lisa Murkowski doesn’t feel it, though, Buck, because her dad literally appointed her to that Senate seat. She is the product of Washington, D.C., insiders and the political elite. She doesn’t depend on the resource industry in Alaska. She doesn’t know what it means to depend on other Alaskans.

But I owe everything to this state and to the Alaskans who came around my family and gave us the opportunities we had. When she killed all those jobs, I just thought, ‘She’s not fighting for us. She’s fighting to be popular in D.C., but who’s looking out for all of us Alaskans?” I’m gonna fight for the people who fought for me. It’s just that simple.

CLAY: Kelly, you’ve got an incredible bio. You’ve got five kids, as you just mentioned. Your parents were homeless in Alaska for a time. You were the first in your family to go to college, and then you went on to Harvard Law School. What was the cultural experience like for you to go from Alaska to all the way in to Boston and find yourself at Harvard Law School? I went to law school. It’s a bit of a cultural challenge for anyone. What was that experience like for you?

TSHIBAKA: Well, the best part of Harvard Law meeting my amazing husband who — as a first-generation Congolese immigrant — his dad grew up in a mud hut in the rain forest of Africa. And I love my husband dearly. However, at Harvard Law they don’t take very well to outspoken conservatives from Alaska, and I won’t be bullied, and I won’t be silenced and I won’t controlled.

My dad always said, you know, “Talk straight, kid. They might not like what you say, but they’ll always know where you stand, and that’s called integrity.” And I really value my integrity, and so they posted death threats regularly against me in the student common. I think that’s funny when liberals and leftists post death threats, because, look, I grew up in the land of predators.

When you walk outside your front door, I was taught to look both ways ’cause you don’t know what’s gonna eat you. (chuckles) And so it just didn’t faze me much because, you know, this is Alaska, and you gotta look out for yourself no matter where you’re going — and there’s just not much bite to the leftists’ bark. I guess I’ll put it that way.

And so also learned looking back that going to Harvard Law and having all those death threats really trains you well for running for the U.S. Senate. And that was my experience there. I got trained well, I learned well, but I didn’t stop talking and expressing my conservative views. So that was Harvard. (chuckles)

BUCK: We’re speaking to Senate candidate for the Republican Party in Alaska, Kelly Tshibaka. And, Kelly, I just want to know — ’cause there’s so much focus on the energy industry right now and obviously the price of gas people are paying at the pump is a major concern for a lot of families struggling to make ends meet.

The geopolitical situation because of Russia, Ukraine, and the price of gas in recent weeks and how that’s affected it. What is the truth? Because the Biden administration makes it seem like they’re all in favor. Drill wherever you want! lots of permits out there. You must know in your home state of Alaska what the truth is of this. And how are they making it harder to produce fossil fuel energy and to bring down those gas prices with domestic production in Alaska?

TSHIBAKA: So Biden’s an expert at the blame game. for a while it was Putin’s fault and it’s the meat industry fault, the oil industry’s fault, Republicans’ fault. It’s really only Biden’s fault. When Biden fails at the blame game, he then plays the spectrum of deception game, and this misinformation thing. Well, look. Up here, because we talk straight, we just call it lies.

There is a… Anyone who knows the oil industry knows you can give out the permits all you want or the leases all you want. But if you kind of draw the analogy to a lease in an apartment building, we can sign the papers but if you don’t hand over the keys a paper is meaningless. That’s sort of what they’re doing. They say, “Oh, you know, we gave out the leases.”

But they hold us up with the permits, they hold us with environmental survey reviews. There is an entire process in the oil industry of once you get a lease you’ve gotta get your permits, you’ve gotta get your environmental surveys, you’ve gotta go through exploration development, drilling, before you can actually start producing. So I’ll give you the example of ANWR.

The courts have said open ANWR. Congress has said open ANWR. Trump let us open ANWR. Biden has come in and shut it down, and even though everybody has told him “open it” from courts and Congress, et cetera, Deb Haaland — who’s only there because of Senator Murkowski — has held us up saying she has to redo the environmental impact survey that was previously done and approved over two years.

Remember we’ve done decades of EIS reviews and passed them all. Simply because she wants to hold us up! So we’re cleared and green to go for ANWR, and Deb Haaland’s the one who shut us down. So that’s kind of that spectrum of deception I’m talking about. “Oh, we’ve said, ‘Drill, baby, drill,'” and they’re the ones who are shutting us down. If you want to know the real truth I’ve toured more miles in state than it takes to circumnavigate the globe.

Here I am in Noorvik. I can’t even count the number of people I’ve talked to who in one year have gone completely bankrupt, lost their homes, lost their cars lost their bank accounts, lost everything because of this Biden administration, and all their money that was tied to oil, whether it was jobs, contracts, et cetera, all because of the decisions made by Deb Haaland, confirmed by Lisa Murkowski. So do not believe those lies. I’m sitting up here fighting for the people just like my mom and dad who have lost everything because of them.

CLAY: Kelly, if people want to support you instead of Lisa Murkowski, what would you tell them to do? You told them how to vote. Where would you tell them to go?

TSHIBAKA: We’re at KellyForAK.com, K-e-l-l-y, f-o-r, AK.com, KellyforAK.com.

CLAY: Fantastic stuff.

BUCK: Thanks so much.

CLAY: We appreciate the time. That’s Kelly Tshibaka. She is running as the Republican in Alaska potentially to beat Lisa Murkowski. That’s gonna be a race worth following for sure.

Julie Kelly Explains the Stunning Whitmer Trial Verdict

8 Apr 2022

CLAY: Julie Kelly just called in. She’s been great at helping to defend some of these people on January 6 and tell their story. Julie, we’re trying to contextualize exactly what happened. We appreciate you being flexible because we saw you tweeting all about it. What happened in this Whitmer trial in the last 30 minutes or so? What has the jury officially determined?

KELLY: The jury in Grand Rapids did not hand down a simple conviction in the alleged Whitmer kidnapping plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer in 2020. It was four men who faced numerous charges, including a charge that would have landed them in prison for the rest of their lives. Conspiracy to kidnap. They also were charged with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction.

Not a single conviction. Two men were completely acquitted. The other two men — including the alleged ringleader, Adam Fox — the jury was deadlocked on their guilt, so the judge declared a mistrial on their two cases. This is… It’s hard to overstate what a stunning blow this is for the U.S. Department of Justice, a well-deserved blow.

I’m telling you, Clay and Buck, some people need to answer for what they did, not just to these men, but to the American people by arresting these men, blaming this concocted plot on Donald Trump, and producing all these damaging headlines for him as millions of Americans were voting in the 2020 presidential election. This is, as I tweeted earlier, a bigger scandal than Russiagate. This is yet another example — a more flagrant and possibly far more damaging example — of the FBI, once again, interfering in a presidential election to sabotage Donald Trump.

BUCK: Julie, can you just tell us…? Thanks for being with us. This is Buck. Can you tell us some of the…? I read just an excerpt from I think it was last summer where even the Democrat lib media started to say, “Yeah, this Whitmer case is actually a little shakier than perhaps we had anticipated” or whatever, right? Doesn’t matter. They’re obviously trying to, you know, come up with a certain narrative. What sort of things were these informants saying? Why did this case fall apart, essentially?

KELLY: Well, I really have to credit this judge and this jury. They took almost five days to very carefully deliberate all of the evidence before them, and I’ll tell you. The judge who I really like, especially — if you’re listening (chuckles) — D.C. district court judges, he — I don’t want to say “concealed,” but he ruled with on behalf of the government in a number of cases that withheld really egregious examples of how the FBI agents and their informants were putting this whole plot together and entrapping these men, inducing them to try to commit crimes.

But there were at least a dozen FBI agents, undercover agents and informants involved in this. You basically had one (chuckles) FBI asset per defendant. There are also men who face state charges. These men didn’t even know each other before the FBI got involved! They are going on excursions and trips that were planned by the FBI, that were paid for by the FBI.

The lead informant, a man named Dan Shepherd, was compensated at least $60,000 from the FBI. (audio drop) The other informant is a convicted felon with a rap sheet in nine states who committed at least two other crimes, but he was paid about $20,000 from this FBI. You guys, if you had the best fiction writer in the world, you could not write up the corruption, the scandal, and really just the depravity of this FBI operation that spanned several cases, by the way. It wasn’t just in Michigan. This is run out of FBI field offices in numerous states.

CLAY: Julie, I appreciate again, you coming on with us on quick notice story has just broken. The other thing to keep in mind is Gretchen Whitmer is up for reelection in 2022, and there’s some talk that she could possibly be a contender in 2024 if Joe Biden is not running.

This is going to be a significant campaign issue, I would think, in the state of Michigan, because she gained a lot of sympathy over this coverage, the idea that someone was trying to kidnap her — and now all this evidence has come out, and a jury in Michigan has determined that there wasn’t a crime committed at all by any of these four men so far.

KELLY: That’s exactly right, and Gretchen Whitmer, if you rewind back to 2020 — think about two years ago — she and Donald Trump were in a very public feud about her continuation of these very Draconian lockdown policies in her state.

CLAY: Yep.

KELLY: So they were very vocal opponents of each other. So the question is, “What did Gretchen Whitmer know? What was her complicity in this FBI sting operation?” What came out in the trial was that the FBI had pull cameras and other laser devices around her cottage, which is where this I may not was supposed to occur. They already had her cottage under surveillance.

She was not under any danger at any time, yet she did days or a few weeks of interviews in October of 2020 blaming Donald Trump for this, inciting right-wing militia who wanted to kidnap and possibly kill her. These were the sort of things were she was saying as people were voting. We need to find out what she knew, how much a part of this sting operation she was actually a part of.

CLAY: Julie Kelly fantastic.

BUCK: One quick thing, Julie. I just wanted to know if you’d weigh in for a minute on Matthew Martin of January 6th, that prosecution. He was acquitted earlier this week. I just wanted you to tell us about that.

KELLY: Can we just take a quick moment and bask in some good news (chuckles) as far as the American justice system this week? Because we haven’t had any in years. So Matthew Martin charged with (garbled) misdemeanors related to January 6th. He opted for a bench trial before Trevor McFadden, who’s a Trump appointee, and basically the judge — after Matthew Martin’s testimony — concluded that, yes, he had been waved into the building.

But more than that, you had for the first time a U.S. Capitol Police official testifying under oath that they indeed stood by and allowed people into the building. They claimed they were overwhelmed. They couldn’t prevent them from coming in. So they just stood by to make sure no one was hurt. This has huge consequences. In fact, a defendant today retracted his plea deal on these same charges based on what happened in court this week. So it’s sort of a game-changer for a lot of these cases.

BUCK: Yeah, quite an insurrection when Capitol are saying, “Right this way! Go into this room, please.” Julie, thanks so much for being with us and all your work on this. We appreciate it. We’ll talk to you again about it soon.

KELLY: Absolutely. Thanks for having me on, guys.

CLAY: Big news there. Glad we could get Julie on to break it all down for us.

Stephen Miller: It’s the Worst Immigration Crisis in History

8 Apr 2022

BUCK: “Biden is Creating the Worst Illegal Immigrant Crisis Ever.” That’s the headline up at FoxNews.com opinion right now. I wrote it last night because I’m just furious about what’s happening here. We’ve been trying to update you about every step of this disaster as it is unfolding with the end of Title 42. But everything the Biden regime has done so far, it seems like they want the border to be wide open.

Biden is creating the worst illegal immigrant crisis everhttps://t.co/0PIifUShr5

— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) April 8, 2022

They want there to be massive, massive inflows of illegal immigrants into this country. Somebody who knows this issue backwards and forwards and was on the front lines of trying to secure the border during the Trump administration is Stephen Miller. He was a former senior adviser to President Trump in the White House, and he’s also the president of America First Legal. He joins us now. Stephen, great to have you back.

MILLER: Great to be here. Thank you.

BUCK: So, Stephen, I’ve been talking to my Border Patrol sources this week and checking in on the numbers as they stand so far as well as the projections from DHS. We’re staring at what feels like the immigration iceberg, so to speak, and the Biden administration is yelling, “Full speed ahead!” Pretended illegal immigration numbers a month away. What’s going on here?

MILLER: Well, I often tell people that I’ve run out of adjectives to describe how bad it already is. You know when Joe Biden came into office in January of 2021, we were already — within a few weeks of him taking the oath of office — in a full-blown border crisis. We all remember the images for that hot minute when the media was actually covering it and then they realized, “Holy crap.

“This is terrible for Biden’s poll numbers. We’re not gonna talk about it again for a year.” The situation since then has gotten unimaginably worse. We’ve gone from four or five thousand apprehensions a day to now 8,000 apprehensions a day. So we’ve doubled what was true, five-alarm fire crisis levels. That’s where we are now. So, it’s much worse than anything we’ve ever had before in American history because 2021 was the highest level since records have been kept.

That’s your starting point! Your baseline under Joe Biden is the worst year in American history. So how do you even describe where we are right now? Not in May, when Title 42 is gone, right now, today, when we are at 8,000 apprehensions a day plus 2,000 got-aways that we know of. By “know of,” I mean these are people Border Patrol sees escape or thee able to deduce the size of a group from footprints or from a fence cut or from drone surveillance, et cetera.

That’s 10,000. And then you have another group which is the unknown got-aways which — of course by definition — are unknown. So your daily numbers crossing exceed 10,000 a day right now. No nation in history has experienced any illegal immigration wave of that size ever. You can’t find any historical precedent for it.

You could scour the history books for your entire life. It’s now on top of that that they’re saying, “Okay. Now let’s get rid of Title 42,” and we’re gonna go from 10,000 to some unknowably larger number at which point in time, you could get any thesaurus in the world; there would be no adjective to describe how bad that is.

CLAY: Stephen, I appreciate you joining us. I’m reading Marco Rubio from this morning:

Several Central American leaders have informed me that traffickers are spreading the word that Biden is going to allow anyone who crosses the border to stay if they file for asylum

A massive illegal immigration surge is coming & those who pushed to end Title 42 are to blame

— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) April 8, 2022

Okay. So let’s presume that this is true. Buck and I were discussing this yesterday, Stephen. What could possibly be the goal of the Biden administration in making this choice, given that their approval ratings are already total track, they’re staring at a red wave in the midterm elections? What is their game plan? What are they gaining by this, why are they doing it?

MILLER: Well, if you look at several positions of the Democratic Party, I would argue that this is the one that will have by far the most irreversible consequences for our country. If you look at their policies on crime as an example, if you look at their policies on critical race theory as an example, they’re all enormously unpopular with normal human beings, really, including in the Democratic Party too. So the question of course becomes, why?

I think the answer to that is that Democrats are interested and have always been interested in long-term structural power, and so they’re willing to sacrifice short-term pain for long-term gain. First of all, I think they’ve already written off Biden. I’m not the first person to say this. I don’t think they think he’s gonna be the nominee, and I don’t think that they think that if by some miracle he were to become the nominee, that he’ll be in the Oval Office five years from now.

So they’re playing the long game here and they know — look at California — that large scale, uninterrupted illegal immigration — and, by the way, nothing that we have today even compares to what was happening in eighties or nineties. It’s so much worse today, that it’s California times 10. But you look at California.

This is a state that went for Nixon, went for Eisenhower, went for Reagan, went from HW in ’88. Basically, one of the most conservative states in the whole country. Beautiful coastline, beautiful weather and wildly conservative, basically paradise. Now look at California. So they understand that they are setting the stage for long-term Democratic governance.

BUCK: We’re speaking to Stephen Miller. He is the president of America First Legal and a former senior adviser to President Donald Trump. Stephen, are you seeing indicators — ’cause some of the people that I know and work with who really dig into the minutia of DHS rules and regulations and how the bureaucracy functions, they’re already saying that one of the plans here is going to be to make it easier for illegals.

Once Title 42 goes, they’re going to streamline the process so that we won’t see 15, 20,000-person campsites, so to speak, or groupings by the border the way we did months ago. It’ll just be invisible, largely, because there will be so many people going in and immediately being led into the country with either a notice to appear or an alternative to detention policy, which just means essentially the honor system. Is that even possible? Can the bureaucracy do that and get away with it if the Biden regime says that’s what they want?

MILLER: It is possible, and it’s indeed the plan — and you’re very wise for mentioning it. So since the beginning of the Biden administration, their entire strategy for dealing with the mass migration that they invited has been to accelerate this entry, hence the secret flights that we’ve all seen covered on Fox News and elsewhere. So when they add bodies to the border, when they add more personnel to the border, when they add more facilities to the border, it’s not for the purpose of repatriation, you know, i.e., deportation.

It’s for the purpose of getting people here illegally and more quickly inside the country, and so you remember, again, going back to where we had these images early on of people overthrowing Border Patrol facilities. Their solution to that was not to get people back home, which would have made the whole problem go away in a few weeks.

Their solution was to line up more transportation, to get those people more quickly to their city of choice inside the United States. So that is going to be their sole and entire strategy for the tsunami of illegal immigration that is coming and building and growing. And to your point about asylum — this is especially insidious — we know that these are not asylum seekers. Everybody understands this.

These are overwhelmingly economic migrants. And then there’s also, of course, a portion of criminals, a portion of drug traffickers, a portion of sex traffickers, et cetera. But that’s your grouping. These are not people — with rare exceptions — that would meet any recognized definition of asylum. But if you change the regulations, which they’re doing, to make it easier for someone to get asylum and to allow them to get their benefits far more quickly, you’re minting new citizens at the border.

When you’re granted asylum — I don’t know if many people realize this — that doesn’t mean, “Oh, you get to live here.” No, no. Asylum is a six-year path to American citizenship. Once you’re granted asylum, you’re immediately eligible for all federal benefits in the country. Within a year of granting asylum, you’re eligible for United States green card which is basically full, permanent resident. Five years after that, you can become a United States citizen. So the goal here is to create an illegal alien-to-citizen pipeline.

CLAY: Stephen, you mentioned that you don’t think Biden will be the nominee and that some element before this is about the long game, not about any current political calculus, necessarily. Who’s the nominee for the Democratic Party, in your mind, if you had to place a bet right now in 2024?

— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) April 7, 2022

MILLER: I don’t think that they know, which is part of the reason why they are so panicky right now. I don’t think that they know, because logic would say that it would have to be the vice president, Kamala Harris, who has arguably had the worst debut as the vice president since anyone has been keeping track of these things. She’s the only person who has somehow managed to be even less articulate than Joe Biden.

But if you were to say you go beyond Biden, you go beyond Harris, and you look more broadly, I could see a situation where they take a hard look, for example, at Gavin Newsom. Now, you and I, if we were advising somebody running against Gavin Newsom, we could come up with a list of 500 lines of attack. But I think for them, always the next place they would go is, “Okay, who are the governors of large, Democrat states?” But I don’t think they know who their nominee is going to be right now.

CLAY: Do you think Hillary might be the nominee?

MILLER: I think she would like to be, I’m sure. Whatever she may say publicly, in her heart I’m sure that she would like it, and there’s still obviously a pretty strong Clinton faction in the party. I don’t think that faction is strong enough to overcome the AOC wing of the party. I could be wrong. Obviously in Biden, they went with a throwback. It turned out that he’s the most radical leftist president in the history of this country. But I don’t know if they’ll be able to do another throwback candidate again.

BUCK: Do you think immigration, Stephen, could be an essential component of — as we’re calling it — the election reckoning that we hope happens in 2022 if the American people know about it? Is it high enough to the radar, does it get enough attention that this could be a critical piece of really delivering a stinging rebuke to the Democrat leftists?

MILLER: I would go even further than that. I would say it’s indispensable. It’s not only something that can give us a massive majority, I think that if we want to win the size of a majority that we’re gonna need to repair the damage that’s been done by the last year plus — it will be two years by then — we have to put this as a central issue before voters.

That’s what gets you from a modest Republican majority to a historically large Republican majority, and here’s the other trip with this: The reason why Democrats have got in the away in the past with illegal immigration — of course, again, what’s happening now has no comparison in history — is because Republicans haven’t played the populist card against it.

So their hope is that they can keep their share of the vote amongst Latino voters and amongst other immigrant voting blocs while then continuing to have large-scale immigration and Republicans will sort of do the Paul Ryan, “Oh, we’re for this too. Illegal immigration is great!” If you actually go to minority communities and immigrant communities and you say, “Democrats are destroying your economic prospects.

“They’re destroying your schools. They’re destroying your health care, your safety. They’re putting drugs in your communities. They do not see you as equal citizens, but you’re pawns in their game,” you can make huge gains in those communities, and that’s when you’re in wipeout territory in the midterms.

BUCK: That’s where we need to be. Stephen Miller, everybody, America First Legal. He’s the president, formerly adviser to President Trump. Stephen, always appreciate your expertise on this, my friend. Thanks for being with us.

MILLER: Thank you. Talk soon.

Walmart to Pay Truckers Up to $110,000 a Year

8 Apr 2022

BUCK: Walmart. You may have seen this, ’cause I know you’re a Wall Street Journal reader. Did you already see this?

CLAY: Oh, I did see this.

BUCK: Ah, all right. So, I was gonna try —

CLAY: It’s pretty crazy. It speaks to how difficult it is to hire people right now. I think it’s gonna blow the mind of our audience what the salary is for drivers right now.

BUCK: So, if you… We always talk about this, but, if you’re in the talk radio business, the truckers are always listening. Truckers are there with you, man. They’re there with you, a lot of time for three hours a day. We’re rolling with you all across the country. Clay and I know we can count on our trucker listeners, and that’s why it’s fun to do live events.

They’ll come up, like, “I’m a Clay and Buck trucker.” We got some of those high fives down in Houston. We love you guys and gals. You’re fantastic. Some of you, apparently, should take Clay and me out for a steak or maybe help us.

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: You know, Papa Buck needs a new pair of shoes or something. Throw me a C note. Throw me a hundo, because Walmart is now offering $110,000 starting pay for truck drivers — for Walmart, in-house truck drivers.

CLAY: It is amazing.

BUCK: This is laws of supply and demand in the labor market at work: 110K, Clay! That’s serious cash for a job that’s a really necessary job. Americans are being reminded of this.

Biden Spreads Fiction That GOP Viciously Abused KBJ

8 Apr 2022

CLAY: Ketanji Brown Jackson was officially introduced a little bit over an hour ago at the White House, and as part of the introduction, Joe Biden continued to spread the fiction that what happened to Judge Jackson in the Senate Judiciary Committee was somehow wildly inappropriate and unfair. Here is Joe Biden talking about all of the vile accusations that she had to handle.

.@POTUS: “I knew the person I nominated would be put through a painful and difficult confirmation process. […] What Judge Jackson was put through was well beyond that. It was verbal abuse, the anger, constant interruptions, the most vile, baseless assertions and accusations.” pic.twitter.com/AQYId6PSxC

— The Hill (@thehill) April 8, 2022

BUCK: Give me a Fauci-ing break. You gotta be kidding me, man. That’s outrageous. It was worse than abuse? Clay, they accused Brett Kavanaugh of being a serial gang rapist 30 years ago with not weak evidence, zero evidence. And the only reason this backfired is enough people figured out, “If they can do this to Kavanaugh, they’ll do it to your dad, they’ll do it to your brother, they’ll do it to anyone if it is within their power needs.” It’s just… Who can watch this? Like the legal analysts at CNN are, “Oh, it’s so hard what KBJ went through.” They asked about her decisions! Some of her decisions really didn’t look so good.

CLAY: Questionable.

BUCK: Really questionable — and they asked her what a woman is. No one said that she’s a horrible person or a rapist or anything. Sorry. I just drives me insane.

CLAY: You’re a hundred percent right. I mean, they called Judge Kavanaugh a serial rapist in front of his two young daughters and his wife. They quizzed him on specific lying from his high school yearbook, Buck. Whatever you think about questions that that were asked of Judge Jackson, they all 100% had something to do with her overall jurisprudence.

The idea that you could compare the two in any way is a complete fiction, and honestly if you look at what happened with Amy Coney Barrett, it was more difficult than what happened to Judge Jackson. They tried to turn into Amy Coney Barrett into… What’s the show with Elisabeth Moss, where they all walk around, they have no —

BUCK: Oh, oh, The Handmaid’s Tale.

CLAY: The Handmaid’s Tale.

BUCK: Have you seen it? I haven’t.

CLAY: I haven’t either. I heard it’s good. But they tried to turn her into The Handmaid’s Tale as if she were some total, crazy zealot. If anything, I thought KBJ got held to a relatively relaxed standard all dealing directly with her jurisprudence as a judge.

BUCK: As we know, being a woman who is brilliant, attractive, accomplished, happily married with many kids makes you a zealot.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: Makes you a zealot. That’s what the left thinks.

CLAY: No doubt.

C&B Know How to Stop Crime: Lock Up Criminals

8 Apr 2022

CLAY: Buck, I’m looking at updated murder rates all over the country because crime has not declined in 2020. And you and I, I think, were both prescient on this where initially Democrats said, “Oh, well, crime went up in 2020 because of the pandemic and all the covid-related restrictions,” when the reality was, Buck, it skyrocketed in the wake of George Floyd and the BLM protests and the demonization of all police officers across the country.

But I just want to hit you with some cities. Many of these cities we are on right now. So far this year, murder is up 20% in St. Louis over last year. Murder is up — and these are decent-sized cities I’m trying to pick. Murder is up 20% in San Francisco. Murder is up 40%, year to year — these are year-to-year numbers — in New Orleans. Murder is up 92%, Buck, in Milwaukee, where we are number one right now in the audience.

We appreciate everybody listening in Milwaukee. But notice these are staggering numbers versus 2021 when, by the way, the numbers were up pretty significantly there as well. Houston, according to this data — where we are also number one in the marketplace, appreciate all you in Houston — up 21%. Dallas up double digits. Cleveland up double digits. Cincinnati up over 30%.

Birmingham, Alabama — another city we’re number one — 41% increase in murder. Atlanta up 43%. These are staggering numbers, Buck. Baltimore up nearly double digits after it continues to skyrocket. These are big, massive increases, and the Democrats don’t have an answer for it. In fact, let’s play this audio because I do think it’s just so emblematic of the refusal to acknowledge the issue. And it is Jen Psaki. Here she is.

BUCK: Yeah, the alternate universe is the one that Jen Psaki is living if because let’s just… This was actually perfect. She looks at the left-wing networks and compares them to Fox there. What matters more to the day-to-day lives and existence of the average American? The elevated status of some NATO troops overseas at one point in time, or the possibility of being bludgeoned to death on the way home from work by somebody who’s been arrested 50 times by the municipal or state authority where you live?

Which one is more likely to affect the American people listening to this? How many more Americans are the victims of larceny, burglary, rape, murder, assault? Go down the list of all the crimes and the huge spike in them, and the tens of thousands, the hundreds of thousands of people that are suffering as a result of this. I’m not even just talking about the normal day-to-day crime that we’ve gotten used to in this country that is already too high before the surge, Clay.

I’m talking about the last almost two years now. We know it’s not covid. And here’s what they won’t do. They make it seem like it’s all so complicated. “Oh, we need to have… We need to come up with some new strategies and community outreach.” Step one: Lock up criminals — and this is the thing that they are not willing to do. Lock. Up. Criminals.

People who break the law need to be taken off the streets and serve time in prison. If you ask, it’s actually an even bigger problem. I’m here in New York City. The stats on crime in New York City, Clay, in my neighborhood — I live in Midtown, so I live right in the middle of it, right? Larceny — grand larceny is up 74% year over year!

CLAY: It’s crazy.

BUCK: People, they’re just stealing stuff all over the place! My beloved scooter, although it did get replaced, was stolen in the blink of an eye!

CLAY: (laughing) You’re lucky to still have your scarves!

BUCK: Oh, man. Well, I hide the fancy ones in my pocket. I make sure that no one knows. But the reality here, Clay, is that they won’t do the most fundamental, the most obvious things to deal with the problem because it goes against their ideology. So they come up with all these other explanations. Do you see this, just real quick, in San Francisco?

I just thought this was amazing, because you have these libs who clearly vote for Democrats, and they’re woke. But they also have to deal with the reality sometimes. This is the CEO of Kraken, Jesse Powell. He just wrote this email yesterday. “We shut down Kraken’s global headquarters on Market Street in San Francisco after numerous employees were attacked, harassed and robbed on their way to and from the office.

“Business partners were afraid to visit after being victimized. Crime, mental illness, and drug abuse are out of control in this city, which is dramatically underreported because it’s so commonplace. The police are known to arrest the same offenders dozens of times, thanks to the District Attorney Chesa Boudain’s catch-and-release program which has resulted in numerous preventable murders of innocent people.”

CLAY: No doubt. No doubt.

BUCK: This has been happening in cities all across the country where Democrats are in charge.

CLAY: Joe Biden — maybe the only thing he’s been right on, Buck — 1994 passed the crime bill, and you can trace a substantial decline in crime to this country to what happened in 1994. I keep saying this, but it’s so true: Being concerned about incarceration rates of criminals is a luxury of a low-crime environment. If you are sitting around saying, “Man, we are being too difficult on violent criminals,” then what you are really saying is, “I feel safe.”

And, Buck, there are a lot of people in big cities all over this country who don’t feel safe right now. And I always say one way to check and see whether your neighborhood is safe is by the question that I would ask is: How many women feel comfortable going out for a jog or a walk by themselves in the evening? Right? It’s a great test of safety in any number of neighborhoods.

Would your wife, would your daughter, would your girlfriend feel comfortable going for a jog in the neighborhood or not? I would submit to you that over the last four or five years, the number of women who feel safe going out to walk after dark, going for a jog — some places even during the day, that feel safe in their neighborhoods — has unlimited all over this country.

And it’s why to me, Buck, you know, we talk about covid and this needs to be a reckoning in 2022 as well. But until there are consequences over crime — and I think it’s gonna happen. You’re already seeing it happen, Buck. Chesa Boudain’s getting recalled. The same thing is happening in L.A. where the DAs are being overwhelmingly rejected.

Was it Gascon, I think, in L.A. who overwhelmingly was repudiated by other DAs because of his soft-on-crime policies? This is happening everywhere, and there have to be consequences for these DAs, too, because their choice not to prosecute and their choice not to hold people accountable for violating the law is leading to tons of deaths than otherwise.

And then we can’t underrate… I believe the number of police shooting deaths have skyrocketed so far this year again — again — and that is because we have so demonized police in this country, and it has real tangle, consequential results in terms of their safety on the streets.

BUCK: A lot of foreign policy issues in general, I’d say, you should be able to have a conversation without getting overly testy even with people who disagree, because it’s very complicated and there’s multiple things going on, a lot of things to consider. We’re talking about straightforward stuff. We want fewer people on the streets clubbing old ladies with lead pipes and stealing their handbags! Doesn’t everyone agree?

CLAY: Yes, which by the way, everyone agrees with: White, Black, Asian, Hispanic!

BUCK: But the Democrat apparatus pretends that that’s not what’s going on. The Democrat apparatus tells us that they’re reforming a racist criminal justice system, or they’re pushing for “equity and inclusion” by doing “more community outreach” with police resources instead of just protecting everybody. And you and I always talk about, the communities that suffer the most from the idiot lib decisions of people like Pelosi and AOC and Schumer, they don’t suffer. They live in fancy houses. They’re millionaires; they’re doing great.

CLAY: They got security guards. Yes.

BUCK: It’s the people that they’re pandering to in high-crime communities by saying, “Oh, the cops aren’t your friend. We’re gonna make this all better. We’re gonna have bail reform and criminal justice reform, and that’s gonna make your community better.” Those are lies, and the people that they’re pandering to with those lies are being hurt. They’re literally, physically being hurt by those lies.

CLAY: Numbers for you, Buck. This is from Sunday. So, unfortunately, it may have increased since then. Police officers shot in the line of duty through Sunday, 101 of them. That is — and this is a staggering number — a 43% increase from 2021. The numbers have been skyrocketing in general. Buck, 2021 was the highest rate of officer shootings in a generation.

So we now, compared to 2021, are up 43% on police officer shootings so far through this year, through the first quarter, compared to the worst year in a generation. This is real, consequential, at the very essence of being safe in this country. I hit you with the numbers on murders, but that police officer number should be staggering. It should be being asked of so many different Democrat politicians across the country.

BUCK: You can see also, Clay, since the beginning of BLM 2.0 after George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis and the BLM movement and the protests and the riots and the Republicans all of a sudden on defense. Let’s just be honest about it: The Trump administration went on defense for a while there on criminal justice issues, talking about doing “criminal justice reform” for about six weeks or so until the statues started to come down and the riots started to go after federal courthouses.

And then all of a sudden, I think there was a snapping back into reality on the right. But you can see the spike in all these crimes we’re talking about started when the left went on offense with its ideas about criminal justice across the board — for prosecutes, for police, for judges, for everything — and they had already been putting people in these places, in these positions for years.

But then they felt the Chesa Boudins and the Larry Krasners and others, “Oh, now’s my moment, now we’re gonna show what real criminal justice reform means.” And, Clay, you and I both know what means and everyone listening knows what it means. More dead people, more assaulted people, more crime, more disorder on the streets. That’s what this actually has meant. So you want this to stop, folks, we gotta take power away from the people that have done this and have made these decisions — and that means the reckoning, Clay, of 2022 must occur.

CLAY: The great reckoning has to happen.

Dem Senator: Trump Wing of GOP at War with Transgender Kids

8 Apr 2022

CLAY: Buck, what percentage of Americans do you think would agree with our discussion when we said, “Hey, if you’re under 18 years old, you shouldn’t get any form of gender-reassignment surgery”?

BUCK: Say, 75%.

CLAY: Yeah, 75 or 80%. It may even be higher than that, and the reason why I bring it up is, what they are trying to do is convince you that you are on the fringe, outside of the mainstream media of society if you have that opinion and it is an unacceptable opinion to have and it is a very calculated choice to be making. Again, I am saying — and everybody out there can have different opinions on this — just wait until you’re 18 years old.

Wait until you are 18 years old, ’til you’ve reached the age of majority, to have surgery like this. Now, I think it probably would be better to wait even longer just to kind of make certain that you want to make a choice that is that long lasting in your life, would be my opinion. But the idea that we’re allowing under 18-year-olds to be treated like this, to be treated as if this is a medical condition is a fringe idea, that they’re trying to make it seem like is not a fringe idea? That’s the clear intent right now.

BUCK: And can we just be clear? It’s obviously a radical change that they are proposing to societal norms here, and so instead of admitting that and saying, “Hey, it turns out there’s this whole new realm of belief and science and ideology that means that kids can, you know, be trans at age 6 or age 4 and need to be told about this,” they just say, “Do what we say or else you’re a bigot!”

They go on offense right away. They act like we’re the crazy people — and, Clay, no 10-year-old thinks about gender hormone or transition surgery without adults advocating for it, and there are already states where if you don’t “gender affirm,” if you gender… First of all, yellow line that terminology because it’s actually… It’s transition. It’s not “affirm.” It’s not even really change. It’s doing something else to yourself — and if you don’t do that, you can be held liable under state law.

CLAY: Yeah. And look at what Senator Chris Murphy is trying to do. We just said — and Buck and I may not be perfectly right on this, but I think 75 to 80% is a reasonable number of American adults that believe that children should not be treated with gender changing drugs, with gender changing surgeries when they are minors. Well, Senator Chris Murphy, he wants you to know, this is “the Trump wing” of the Republican Party that has declared war against transgender kids. That’s what they’re saying. Listen to this.

Last night I just had enough. I’m sick and tired of transgender kids getting bullied. So I went to the Senate floor to call out the adults who relentlessly and shamelessly target these kids.

I hope you’ll watch this. pic.twitter.com/COK6QSGZy4

— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) April 8, 2022

BUCK: So Senator Murphy, he’s a moron.

CLAY: This is not true at all.

BUCK: Let start with this, Clay. And also does he know the data on the longtime implications of suicide for people who do transition? Because their suicide rate is astronomically higher after transitions, by the way.

CLAY: Because there is, I believe, the idea that if — sometimes people make the decision if I just changed this, then everything would be perfect in my life. Everybody out there knows. And sometimes it can be true, right? Sometimes if you’re an alcoholic and you stop drinking alcohol, your life can change in a big way. There are things you can do that represent substantial changes that make you healthier, that make you better off.

Say, if you’re a drug addict and you leave behind drugs. But there are a lot of people, I think, who are unhappy teenagers, 13 or 14 years old, and they think, “Oh, the reason why I’m unhappy is because I’m not comfortable in my own skin, in my own gender. If I just change my gender, I’d be happy,” and then what happens, Buck, some of these people change their own gender and then they aren’t any happier. But the idea here is not that you say that transgender kids are awful or that they don’t deserve respect. You just say, “Wait until you are an adult to make a life changing choice, just like we do with marriage or driving a car.”

BUCK: Dr. McHugh says about trans children? They just need love and good parenting and support until they’re adults, and then see where they are.

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: Pretty straightforward.

CLAY: That’s eminently rational. That’s the choice I think that should be made everywhere.

Psaki: Biden Backs “Gender-Affirming Health Care” for Kids

8 Apr 2022

BUCK: We know that in New Jersey, they are soon going to be teaching students — in the 2022-2023 school year, they’re gonna be teaching kids — in the second grade, mind you, about gender identity. So this is happening in schools. But you could say even worse than the teaching of gender identity or even more destructive is what Jen Psaki said. This is from the White House. This is not a fringe thing that we’re making a big deal out of, whatever.

They are coming for your kids using the apparatus all over the country. They want to start using federal law to go after people who try to stand in the way of this agenda. “It’s a civil rights violation!” Oh, they’re sending the Feds after you, the same people who said that parents who show prep at school board meetings and are a little bit testy are kind of like terrorists.

That same DOJ. They may decide that a doctor who doesn’t “gender affirm” an 8-year-old but tries to actually just have some 8-year-old live with their gender until later on, that’s not what this White House is okay with. They’ll send people after you. Here is Jen Psaki saying that it is “gender-affirming health care” for transgender kids to have them take the full transgender surgery and the hormones. Play clip 1.

Jen Psaki says sex reassignment surgery and puberty blockers for KIDS is “a best practice and potentially lifesaving.” pic.twitter.com/1bOaerdsCh

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 7, 2022

BUCK: They’re gonna send the Feds after you, Clay, if you don’t want the gender-transition people to cut children’s… You can’t even talk about this stuff without… It’s just… It’s horrific!

CLAY: Yeah, and it is absolutely crazy that we have reached this point where… Just think about it. Take it outside of transgender-related issues for a moment right now and just think about this. You can’t drive a car in most states until you’re 16 years old. You can’t, certainly, vote. You can’t go sign up and join the military. You aren’t considered an adult until you’re 18 years old. You can’t buy a beer until you’re 21. You can’t rent a car in some places, Buck, until you’re 25.

Why do those age limits exist? Because we believe, rightly, for anyone who has ever been a teenager and certainly for anyone who has ever raised a teenager, that teenagers often make really bad decisions. And you’re going to tell me that a 13-year-old who is uncertain about their gender, probably uncertain about many things in their life, that you should fill them up with hormones and start to change their gender?

In a way, sometimes, that becomes virtually irreversible in terms of your ability to have children, in terms of your ability to live a life without difficulty? This is child abuse, to me — and, Buck, take it outside of transgender-related issues. Think about how often we heard over the years about, for instance, in Africa there are some places where they will have surgery on girls’ genitals in order to try —

BUCK: Female Genital Mutation. FGM.

CLAY: That’s right. It’s gotten a ton of attention over the last 20, 30 years. And people say, “Man, this is unbelievable that this would ever be allowed to happen, that someone would have this surgery happen to them. It’s awful.” But that that would occur is considered universally to be an awful thing to a minor. Well, you can have surgery that are occurring to minors.

You can pump them full of all sorts of hormones that are changing what their body would naturally do? This is child abuse, and I don’t… I mean, the idea that Jen Psaki argued there, Buck, that it’s a constitutional violation to say, “Hey, you gotta wait ’til you’re 18 years old to make a choice like this”? That’s not true, it’s crazy.

What’s a Biromantic Asexual?

8 Apr 2022

CLAY: All this Disney — I don’t even know what you would call it — like, sort of ritualized humiliation of their CEO with all of these crazy different terms that we don’t even know being tossed out. So, this is Disney executive producer Latoya Raveneau, who said that she is a “biromantic asexual.” That’s how she defines herself. Listen to this as she discusses the challenges at Disney of being a biromantic asexual.

NEW: Disney executive producer Latoya Raveneau says she identifies as a “bi-romantic asexual” and that she wants to “use [her] content” at Disney to educate children about “the pockets of the LGBTQ community that you don’t see,” such as the asexual community. pic.twitter.com/gNJ0CItgqV

— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) April 7, 2022

BUCK: I don’t… I don’t know.

CLAY: You’re a single guy. Can you imagine if you had to date a… So, we’re trying to figure out exactly what this is. A biromantic asexual is like the friend zone forever.

BUCK: I was gonna say, “If a woman tells you on a date that she is, at the end of the date, she’s like, ‘Just so you know, I’m romantic but asexual,’ you’re probably not doing as well as you thought you were as a guy in that situation.”

CLAY: It sounds like the worst date ever!

BUCK: Your friend zone forever.

CLAY: Friend zone forever. Not only friend zone! Responsible for all of the romance and you get none of the sex. And, by the way, you’re also competing in the romance field with women and men. First of all, who signs up for these relationships? I can’t think of anything worse than being perpetually friend zoned as the goal of the relationship.

It’s not like, “Hey, I’m just not that interested in you but maybe one day down the line I could be interested in you,” which is the friend zone dichotomy, the difficult spot to be. This is forever. “I just want you to spend money and take me out to dinner and wine and dine me, but I have no interest at all in any sort of intimate relationship with you ever.” Buck, how are these people exist?

BUCK: So I guess if you’re a bisexual aromantic… I’m sorry. (laughing)

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: No, no. Biromantic… I just messed it up again!

CLAY: Something I’ve heard of.

BUCK: Well, I guess there probably are some bisexual aromantics. That’s a whole other. But if you’re a biromantic asexual, then that would mean that you’re happy to have, like, dates with people and think that they’re just dreamy but, like, everyone’s going home separately, you know what I mean? That’s the situation, I think. Right? Am I missing something?

CLAY: Yeah, I think that’s right. The awkward, like, kiss or don’t kiss scenario isn’t even in play, which makes me wonder: Who are these people that are actually that and are, like, bragging about it.

BUCK: Uh, Clay? Uh, you’ve been married, what, 15 years now, man? The awkward end-of-night hug —

CLAY: Eighteen years.

BUCK: So, 18 years? The awkward, end-of-night hug? You’re lucky you don’t have to deal with that, my friend.

CLAY: There’s a lot of married people who have been like, “Hey, I’ve been in an asexual relationship for a long time.”
