Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Good morning everybody. It's Common SenseRadio. Happy Thursday to all of you.
Almond in the morning, Jamie Allman. Pleased and privileged to be back
with you one on four nine atPatriot and you are in the right place.
So you got to hear this.This is a Republican Congressman, Wesley
Hunt. And you know the biglie, well several of them, like,

(00:24):
for instance, Joe Biden's telling andwe'll get to that little bit whying
again about his role in the civilrights movement, which I don't know how
they allow this guy to keep gettingaway with lying about his role in the
civil rights movement. I mean,you talk about all these people who are
fact checkers. Remember when Donald Trumpwas around, and television stations and networks

(00:44):
all had their own private fact checkingteam and they all go after whenever it
is that Trump said. It's likethey do not. I mean, the
New York Times had an entire teamdesigned around fact checking Donald Trump. But
now one time as the news media, the mainstream media ever fact checked Joe
Biden on his I was in thecivil rights nonsense. I mean he even

(01:07):
has admitted it back in the day, and they don't for some reason.
He's been around so long. He'ssuch a dinosaur that nobody even remembers that
it wasn't very long ago that plagiaristJoe Biden also lied about his role in
the Civil rights movement. Had toadmit it. So I have no idea
why, But anyway, there's thisbig lie going around that and this has

(01:30):
kind of been promoting on the vieweverything else that the people who want to
try to force election integrity by daringto demand photo IDs at the polling places
and to vote are somehow racist.And of course you all are, like

(01:52):
me, your sensible people, andyou immediately your BS meter pins because you
know that built into that assumption isthis idea somehow that black people are just
not up to snuff enough to haveIDs or driver's licenses or whatever. So
Wesley Hunt is this guy from Texas. He's a Republican from Texas. He

(02:16):
lays it out during a recent hearing, and I think, really super well
and recon remember Grant for having mehere today to speak about voting rights in
America, the country that I lovedearly. More importantly, I'm here to
talk about the left's soft bigotry oflow expectations because it's a Democrat Party,
not the Republican Party that thinks solittle of Black America as the people of

(02:38):
color, that they'd make the casethat being black in America means we can't
obtain a government id to vote.And that's not only a ridiculous assertion,
it's demeaning and it's insulting when itcomes down to it. Many of my
colleagues on the left like to pretendthat we're still living in the nineteen fifties.
Well we're not. Yeah, I'vegot some good news for you.

(02:58):
It's twenty twenty four, and Iknow year it is because I've been black
for just over forty years. AndI'm also the son of a retired lieutenant
colonel who grew up in a segregatedSouth. You see, my parents grew
up in at Jim Crow South inthe fifties and sixties in New Orleans,
Louisiana. Their next generation, myparents had three kids. My sister,

(03:19):
brother and I all went to WestPoint, all three of us. We
all served our country in combat.And I sit before you today as a
city of United States congressman in adistrict and a suburb of Houston, Texas,
as a white majority district that PresidentTrump would have won by twenty five
points and I won by almost thirtypoints. And that doesn't happen unless we've
made some incredible progress in this greatnation. Now, my colleagues on a

(03:44):
left like to say that common sensevoting laws, including requiring a government issued
ID, a racist, in,discriminatory and burdensome. Do you know what
my father had back in the fortiesand fifties before it was even cool,
a government issued ID? And continuingin his footsteps, I do have multiple
government issued IDs? And why thatmight be shocking to many people in this

(04:06):
country. People may ask, how'sthat happen? It's very simple personal responsibility
for all Americans in this country,regardless of what you look like. Sitting
with me today, is my GlobalEntry card, my Military ID card,
my Texas driver's license, my TexasLicensed to carry because that's how we roll

(04:28):
on Texans, my Congressional card,and of course the good old fashioned American
passport. What sorcery is this?What am I? The black Kudini?
How was I able to pull offthing impossible and attain not one, not
two, not three, but sixgovernment issue IDs? Personal responsibility in this

(04:50):
country? I fought for this countryas in a passion helicopter pilot to protect
free and fair elections, and havinga government issued ID as a racist.
It's American. You need to havean idea to drive a car, to
check into the airport open to beckaccount, you need an ID for basically
everything to be a responsible adult inthis country, except for voting, apparently

(05:14):
a quote to the left, Imean you need an ID to return a
pair of jeans. I mean,so this idea that somehow black people are
just not developed enough to have IDsis completely ridiculous, And this guy's good,
I have to tell you, andI have to admit I hope this
doesn't make me sound stupid, butI've never heard of this guy, and

(05:38):
maybe those of you who are morewell versed in the world than I am
know of him. But this guyis good. Black America does not need
well meaning liberals putting their arms aroundus and telling us how we should go
to the polls. In fact,if you look at recent headlines and polls,
you will find that black men specificallyin this country are more than effort

(06:00):
to participate in the next president shoeelection. That is true. That is
true, and I've got proof ofit. This is the Black Entertainment Network.
They're talking to black voters, andthese people have ideas, and these
people are registered to vote. Andhere's a little bit of how they sounded

(06:23):
infinitively right now. I couldn't tellyou that if they opened the post tomorrow
on voting for Joe Biden to whatchanged life? The inflation and the things
that we're going through right now.I want the right person so that I'm
not paying eight dollars for eggs fifteendollars for gas, even though things may
be improving economically. But you feelthere's a disconnect, Yeah, there is

(06:44):
a disconnect. But the way theselast three or four years have been,
this is the worst it's ever beenin my life. I never would have
even considered thinking about voting for DonaldTrump, but living in America needs last
or it's a consideration, a considerYeah, it's a consideration, and believe
me, in my opinion, it'smore than a consideration for that individual.

(07:09):
He just probably didn't want to admitit on beet because there are a bunch
of people running around making black peoplefeel like Uncle Tom's traders or whatever you
want to call them, when thefact of the matter is their movement is
pretty pretty heavy, and we're seeingwe're seeing poles, and even beet is

(07:29):
mentioning the poles. But you know, keep in mind the pressure that the
left wing, mostly white people.Thank you, Malcolm X for warning black
people about liberal white people, becausethey're the black person's worst enemy, because
not only do they lie about blackpeople, they also have like zero expectations
of them in terms of the softbigotry of low expectations. But the movements

(07:55):
there, which is why you're gettingall these people who are talking about Crow
and all this other nonsense. Andthis is gold right here. Reflected in
some polls, while seventy seven percentof likely black voters say they intend to
support mister Biden, former President Trumpleads Biden in several battleground states, including

(08:18):
Georgia, where he lost by roughlytwelve thousand votes, and faces charges of
election interference. Yeah, nobody cares. Nobody cares. We see election interference
every day. I mean, Letitia, Fannie, you know, Jack,
all the other guys out there.That's election interference. So we see election

(08:39):
interference at the local, at themedia level too. But when you listen
to Wesley Hunt, he lays itout. He says, you know you're
not gonna be able to stop thistrain, and they and they know it,
so they're trying to pull out allthe stops to try and scare black
people into thinking they're going to belynched at polling places, or that something

(09:03):
as simple as a photo ID issomehow discriminating against them. And believe me,
I'm glad Wesley Hunt is out there. I'd never heard of him before,
but hopefully you know, of coursehe'll be written off by the joy
Raids of the world as some kindof Uncle Tom but too bad, and
I think I know why, andI'm really looking forward to these results.

(09:24):
For the record twenty twenty two midtermsin Georgia, it proved that election integrity
and ballid accessibility can be achieved handin hand. After the twenty twenty election,
Georgia passed a voter election integrity law, and subsequently, the Department of
Justice filed a lawsuit against the stateof Georgia alleging that the Georgia law is

(09:45):
discriminatory and aims to restrict citizens fromvoting. President Biden even called this low,
called this law, and I quoteJim Crow two point zero really in
my humble opin, and referencing JimCrow for common sense election integrity laws is
offensive to those who actually experienced JimCrow, like my parents and their parents

(10:09):
before them. In fact, thelaw wasn't discriminatory at all, because in
the twenty twenty two midterms, Georgiavoters shattered voter turnout records across the state.
And despite that record breaking turnout inGeorgia, the DOJ lawsuit is still
pending. I suspect that it's becausetheir record breaking turnout resulted and a Republican

(10:33):
governor being elected in Georgia. ButI digress. I'm going to say the
choire part out loud, which Itend to do. I have a lot
of respect for John Lewis, butthe John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is
not about protecting voting rights. It'sabout solidifying Democrat power nationally. It's about
federal control over state and local elections, which, by the way, is

(10:56):
unconstitutional. It's about diminishing the securityof our elections. And voter integrity laws
aren't discriminatory. They are required fora functioning constitutional so invariably you do know
that the people who are crying theloudest about Jim Crow, Laws and beyond

(11:18):
really are not Black Americans. Yourarely hear it. They're always liberal whites
on television, in the White House, in Congress and beyond, because that's
how they trade in race baiting,in menacing black people, in conjuring old

(11:39):
videos, in film clips from Mississippiburning, and it's completely demeaning to black
people. And I think this hasbeen going on for a long time.
Black people finally do realize what's upwith the white liberal They're beginning to understand
exactly what Malcolm X was talking about. Your phone calls are welcome. Three

(12:01):
one four, five, five,six sixty one oh four. It's common
Sense Radio. Good morning everybody,and happy Thursday to all of you and
yours. It's common Sense Radio.Jamie Allman here, happy to be back
in the saddle for you here atone O four nine The Patriot in the
Almond the Morning Show. So whenWesley Hunt mentioned that he went to West
Point, as did two of hisbrothers as well, I first thing he

(12:24):
came to me is like, oh, yeah, I've heard about what happened
at West Point, and did youknow that they changed their mission statement?
They have officially changed their mission statement. I'm like, oh, Lordie,
can't wait to talk to Jim Carafano, West Point grad about this one.
So the west Point previous mission statementwas to educate, train, and inspire

(12:50):
the coreal cadets so that each graduateis a commissioned leader of character committed to
the values of duty, honor,country. So West Point now has revised
the mission statement and it reads likethis, to build, educate, train,
and inspire the corps of cadets tobe commissioned leaders of character committed to

(13:16):
the Army values. Now that,of course, no one knows really what
that is. And I can guesswhat an army value is, and I'm
sure that it's awesome and amazing,but you notice how nebulous that term is,

(13:37):
and how that term could literally justkind of float around everywhere. Army
values can be plugged into anything thatthe Defense Secretary or whatever comes up with,
and it's got to be infuriating.First of all, you can you
can say, well, why didthey change it? Why is it's so

(14:00):
important for West Point to take outI mean, I literally red line out
duty, honor, and country andreplace it with Army values. No demeaning
army values. By the way,I'm sure they're amazing, but we really,
like actually don't know what they are. We know what duty, honor

(14:22):
and country are, however, rightlike, we really don't know what conservative
and liberal is, right. Imean, I got into a discussion with
somebody based on a John Stewart clipwhere John Stuart was like, don't act
you know, you can love Trump, but don't act like that's patriotism.
I go, John Stewart, Nora. No one on the planet really knows

(14:43):
what patriotism is. They love throwingit around, doing whatever, especially liberals,
which is really weird. Liberals arenow kind of the new McCarthy era
legion, and people always looking forthe commis, always looking for the lack
of patriotism they love. That arethe threats to democracy. Putin putin,

(15:07):
putin all this stuff. It's reallyweird how the left is now transformed in
like this nineteen fifties weirdo John BirtSociety Club. It's really strange, but
it's going on. But why wouldthe army decide that that's going to They're
going to take out duty, honorand country and replace it with army values

(15:30):
that basically can be anything anything theywanted to be very interesting. If you're
a military person, maybe you couldchime in two three, one, four,
five, five, six sixty oneoh four. So Joe Biden,
this is it is amazing. Thenews media at one time had entire teams

(15:50):
of people whose job it was tofact check Donald Trump pretty much every time
he opened his mouth. Uh,the individuals like the New York Times and
the whole team of people dedicated tofact checking Donald Trump. I remember there

(16:12):
was a and usually what happens isthese news organizations. I remember one.
I can't remember what it was.It was like more of a of a
national thing than it was. Theyall own local television stations and there was
always some guy who was tasked withyou know, I'm I'm the fact checker
here. It's always during the election, and what happened. Fact checkers now

(16:33):
are basically an army of media propagandistswho go out and try to change whatever
narrative is reaching us peasants. Youknow, they try to They always want
to correct us. Oh no,actually, know what you're thinking really isn't
the case. Here's what we're thinking, and that's you know, this army

(16:53):
that's unleashed for the mainstream media.But no one has bothered to fact check
Joe Biden over decades now, Imean back in nineteen eighty seven they did
when he was continuing to lie abouthis role in the civil rights movement.
But just two days ago in Milwaukee, Joe Biden lied about it again.

(17:15):
I can progressed for one second.Look, you know, I've been very
involved for a while. I knowI don't look like I just arrived,
but all kid decide, I didn'trealize even though I was deeply involved initially
in the civil rights movement, thatgot me involved to run from the first
place. Yeah, deeply involved inthe civil rights movement. And again that

(17:37):
is a proven falsehood. Joe Bidenwas never deeply involved in the civil rights
movement. And in fact, theperson you could probably ask best would be
Joe Biden himself. When I marchedin the civil rights movement, I did
not march with a twelve point programand marched with tens of thousands of others

(18:02):
to change attitudes, and we changedattitudes. So that was in nineteen eighty
seven, when Joe Biden claimed hemarched in the civil rights movement. I
was seventeen years old. Like manyof you, I participated in sit ins
to de segregate the restaurants and moviehouses of Wilmington, Delaware. I come
out of the Civil Rights movement.I was one of those guys that sat

(18:23):
in and marched and all that stuff. This is eighty seven. And then
months later, actually there was somefact checking going on and they said,
hey, man, you never marchedin the Civil rights movement. Come on,
he had a drop out of thepresidential race that you know sixties.
I was, in fact, veryconcerned about the Civil Rights movement. I

(18:48):
was not an activist. I workedat an all black swimming pool in the
east side of Wilmington, Delaware.I was involved. I was involved in
what they were thinking, what theywere feeling. Involved, But I was
not out marching. I was notdown in Selma, I was not anywhere
else. I was a suburbanite kidwho got a dose of exposure to what

(19:08):
was happening to black Americans when Iin my own city as a lifeguard.
How does a guy like this whodropped out of a presidential race in nineteen
eighty eight because he was revealed tobe not only a liar but also a
fraudster, a plagiarist. How didthis guy wind up coming back and winding

(19:33):
up in the White House. It'sstunning, but it happens because no one
is paying attention at all. Hemade the same lie decades later when he
was with Obama. You know,when I was a teenager in Delaware,
for real, I got involved inthe civil rights movement. We have the
eighth largest black population in America.Most people don't know that, and mass

(20:00):
then I'd go to Reverend Harry's churchwhere we'd meet in order to organize and
figure where we were gonna go.I mean, this is impossible to believe
that, with all the fact checkingout there, that this guy gets out
of a presidential race in nineteen eightyeight because he's a liar and a huckster

(20:21):
and a charlatan. And then decadeslater he just regenerates the lie again and
nobody's paying attention, nobody brings itup in the mainstream media and beyond.
And then in Milwaukee he lies again. This is a guy, absolutely who
has no fear at all that anybody'sgonna question him in the mainstream media and

(20:42):
beyond. No fear at all.Hubris, Yeah, totally teflone. Yeah,
all right, coming up, arevery well. I think he's pretty
amazing. Attorney General Andrew Bailey isgonna join us. He he is hot
on the trail of this Hazelwood Eastfight. We'll follow up on that.

(21:04):
The Patriots use up eight after thehouse. Good morning, everybody, it's
common since radio Jamie Allman here.Happy to be back in the saddle with
you. It's Almond in the morning, one O four nine and the Patriot
Be careful out there, people.Some people reporting they are hearing sirens Matthew

(21:26):
on the Facebook page saying I'm hearinghim in South County. So Bindy's online
too, saying that there is uhstorms on the way to uh north Saint
Louis County. So be careful everybody, and uh we'll be watching out for
you. Andrew Bailey, he isMissouri's Attorney General and he's a darn good

(21:47):
one and you're gonna be able tomeet him tonight at Johnny's Hideout. You
know. Rick Pogue has been alongtime friend of mine and an overall great
guy, tremendous conservative, and he'samazing so well. He is part owner
of Johnny's Hideout down there, ahigh ridge, and that's where we're going
to be able to see Andrew Baileyright there in the flesh tonight from five

(22:11):
point thirty I think to seven seventhirty somewhere around there, I'll be down
there to shake Andrew Bailey's hand andcongratulate you, by the way, on
doing amazing work at the latest ofcourse is you and going after this idea
of changing some of our juvenile lawsthat seemed to be letting a lot of

(22:33):
people off the hook who shouldn't be. Of course, the lynch pin of
this is the fight that happened hazelat East and this girl who basically pounded
another girl's headed to the ground.I don't know what the racial connotations of
all this was, but it's happeningall around the country, it seems.
Andrew Bailey, how you doing,good morning this morning? How you doing?
Man? Hey, Jamie, thankyou so much for having me on.

(22:55):
Man, I'm excited to get tosee you this evening, to hang
out with my friend Rick Boage.A great Patriots, and I appreciate y'all.
Look what happened, what happened withthis attack with these students in Hazelwood
School District is abominable. This ishorrendous. We see a fight breakout at
two point thirty in the afternoon ona Friday, in broad daylight on a

(23:17):
public street, multiple teams involved,just right next to where the school is
located, in their students at theschool, and we see an aggressor,
an attacker who violently pummels a victimand bashes the victim's head repeatedly into the
hard contry. Clearly the attacker intendedto inflict serious physical injury. When you've

(23:38):
got teens of this age committing adultcrimes first degree assault, those teams need
to face adult consequences. That's theonly way we're gonna get a handle on
this thing. Let's not forget theseteams grow up in Corey Bush's congressional district.
Corey Busch has called for the defundingof police. They've watched for years
as Kim Gardner and the city refusedto prosecute criminals, so they think it's

(23:59):
okay to do whatever you want.The need to feel the repercussions of the
law, and that way we canget a handle on this and put a
stop so that the next generation doesn'tgrow up in the same culture of violence.
Yeah, I mean, there's nodoubt about it. I mean it's
weird because in this society where thereis a segment of our society who believes
that men can be women and womencan be men and all this other nonsense,

(24:22):
Certainly you've got to be able tocome to a conclusion. It's sometimes
at fifteen year old is an adult, bottom line, and they can and
you listen, when you make achoice to pound somebody's head to the ground,
that's a choice that you make basicallyas an adult. I mean,
people who are fifteen years old knowexactly what they're doing here. Yeah,

(24:45):
that's right. This attacker knew betterand had multiple opportunities to disengage for the
fight. Look, once she hadrendered the victim incapable of resisting, there
was no need to continue bashing thevictim's head into the concrete. So that
proves the intent to inflict serious physicalinjury. But let me say this as
well, they're multiple teams in vaulthere. Where is our juvenile system.
The entire purpose of the juvenile systemis to prevent this sort of thing from

(25:08):
happening. Juvenile officers have the abilityto take personal and subject matter jurisdiction over
teams who are exhibiting behavior that isinjurious to the team or the teen's community,
or teens who are beyond printal control. And so it should have never
gotten to this level. It shouldhave never, you know, escalated to
the point that now there's a youngwoman who's fighting for her life and critical

(25:29):
condition in the hospital, and myheart goes out to the victim. Oh,
there's no question about it. Sohow as an attorney general, how
does this manage? How does youroffice act or what is the breadth of
your ability and power in a situationlike this to intervene if you haven't if
you can intervene at all. Well, right now, we're watching the case

(25:52):
closely. At the end of theday, it's up to the juvenileficers.
The juvenile officers work for the circuitjudges. There are forty six circuits in
the state of Missouri, and sothere are forty six juvenile officers. I
mean, each works for the presidingjudge. I think long term, what
we need to look at here isstructural reform to our juvenile system to inject
a level of transparency and accountability.Right now, it's as if the umpires

(26:12):
are picking the batting order for abaseball game. We wouldn't think that's a
good idea in any other context.So moving the juvenile officers out of the
judiciary as a proposal that's moving throughthe General Assembly, I think that helps
inject a level of transparency and accountability, because we need to know why it
is that in the state of Missourifewer and fewer youth have been committed to
the Division of Youth Services. Inthe past years, the juvenile officers used

(26:33):
to send troubled youth to dys fortreatment and rehabilitation so they didn't end up
in this kind of situation, andthose numbers have declined sharply. Why is
that We need answers to those questions. That's the kind of juvenile system reform
I'm talking about. Yeah, there'sno question about it. And what do
you sense I mean, I wouldimagine that in this state you could even

(26:53):
get Democrats on board with this conceptbecause clearly the and now crime is out
of hand, and clearly there arepeople running around who even brag about the
fact that nothing really can happen tothem because they're juveniles. I mean,
we've had videotape of guys put inthe back seat of cars and the first

(27:14):
thing they announce is, well,I'll see you in twelve hours because I'm
in the juvenile system. Now,yeah, that's right. It has no
deterrent effect. And look, it'sthe adult criminals know they don't want to
go to prison, so all toooften they co opt the teens into committing
the crime for them. Why doyou think it is that you see fourteen
year olds committing karjackis and then drivingone hundred miles per hour down Saint Louis
City streets. It's because the adultshave formed a criminal conspiracy to cajole the

(27:38):
teams into behaving that way by joiningtheir gangs and then forcing them to commit
these crimes. So we've got toadd a deterrent effect. The juvenile officers
need to step up. We needmore juvenile jurisdiction over troubled youths, troubled
teams to prevent these types of thingsfrom escalating the point that we now have
a first degree assault and a youngvictim fighting for her life. But let
me say that's too Jamie. There'sanother element to this that the mainstream media

(28:00):
is ignoring, but that you willappreciate. Hazelwood has a history of placing
divisive racial DEI programs above the safetyof its students. That's where these teams
go to school. And in twentytwenty one, Hazelwood demanded that the school
resource officers, the uniform police officersthat are in the schools to protect the
youth, take the school's DEI training. Well, the police department said,

(28:22):
no, we're not going to dothat. We have our own trainings.
We're not part of the school,we're part of the police department. And
so the school system booted them out. So this is a school district that
has a history of radical, progressive, divisive racial policies being placed ahead of
the safety of students. One wonderswhat role that contributed to this first degree
assault. Well, it seems likeit's almost happening all over the country.

(28:44):
We're seeing video after video pop upof these gangs, many of the black
youths who are beating up white peoplein hallways and beyond. And I can't
help but figure that this must bein some way, shape or form and
outgrowth of what's being taught in theschools. And I would go to critical
race theory too, where the childrenare being manipulated. They're being tricked into

(29:11):
either believing that they are victims orthat they are perpetrators. And I think
the racial division being created by theseso called programs designed to solve racism are
actually backfiring and having a hugely negativeimpact on our children. Well, let's
think about what happened in Germany inthe nineteen twenties and thirties. The Nazi
Party told the German people that theyhad been subjugated, that they were being

(29:33):
put out, that there was systemicracism in their country and in their culture.
And next thing, you know,brown shirts were breaking windows and rounding
people up for beatings and concentration camps. So yeah, this kind of racially
divisive programming and indoctrination has real worldnegative consequences. We've got to put an
end to it. Now. Weare equal under the law. The Constitution

(29:53):
is supposed to be coloredlde and that'swhy these programs are illegal and unconstitutional,
and we've got to stumped them outwhile we still. We really appreciate too,
your adherents and your love of theMissouri Constitution. You know, there
is a pattern among some Republicans,and for that matter, even some Conservatives
where they kind of have this handsoff local control approach, which I agree

(30:15):
with. I mean, our preferenceis always to have local control, but
sometimes we have to step in,the state has to step in, or
the state's officers, including you,have to step into a locality. I
think we made a mistake during theCOVID deal where there wasn't enough done at
the gubernatorial level to get in andpin Sam Page's ears back a little bit

(30:38):
on his shut down policies and everythingelse. And so I really appreciated the
fact that you stepped in in thisKim Gardner situation and finally said, hey,
listen, these cities serve at theleisure of the state. It's why
we even had the North County Courtplan and why the state legislats were able
to intervene there. So you madesure that with all the must scularity of

(31:00):
the Attorney General's office, you camein and did something about what was happening
at the city prosecutor level. Yeah, that's right. Look, it's a
very different relationship between the states andfederal government, right. We have it
in the federal constitution. We havea federal democratic republic where the federal government
has limited authority and the states havethe rest of the authority. But in
a lot of ways, the statespre existed the federal government because the thirteen

(31:23):
Colonies existed before there was a UnitedStates Constitution. But it's different at the
state level. Counties and municipalities arepolitical subdivisions of the state, So the
state retains authority, and when wesee a breakdown in local control, absolutely
the state has a responsibility to stepin. Look, five hundred and forty
two businesses had left downtown Saint Louisbecause of Kim Bardner. She had a

(31:45):
ninety six percent non prosecution rate.Victims were suffering. This one woman was
holding the entire state hostage. Wecouldn't let that go on any longer.
We took bold action and ultimately removedher, and we're prepared to do that
again if necessary. Yeah, Imean, at this point, some things
have calmed down with her replacement,but at this point she there is there

(32:07):
any further action that can be takenagainst her. I don't care whether it's
the bar or whatever it is.What kind of further action could be taken?
Yeah, well, she's still gotliability. We're not done with this
yet. I mean, you sawUS published the Gardener Reports that lay out
laid out the evidence we had,and that was intended to lay out a
framework to propose legislative changes before thelegislature got moving this session, so that

(32:30):
we could have the necessary tools inplace to prevent this from happening in the
future or to be able to respondappropriately and swiftly. But we're continuing to
pursue documents that we believe will establishat a minimum civil, possibly professional or
administrative, and potentially criminal liability onKim Gardner's behalf. Again, what this
woman did to not only things,but to the state of Missouri is abhorrent,

(32:52):
and we are going to continue topursue that until we run down every
last thread. Attorney General Andrew Bailey, if you guys want to meet him,

Becky Noble. Oh yeah, andyour phone calls to eight o'clock hour,

(34:45):
teeing up three, one, four, five, five, six sixty one.
Good morning this morning, everybody.Happy Thursday to all of you.
Everybody feel better now than the Houseis past legislation to go after TikTok.
Yeah, while we still make allof our all the medicines that the pharmaceutical
companies make are made in China mmhm, you know, for like pennies

(35:07):
and then they charge you two thousandover the actual raw price to the medicine.
Oh, I'm sorry. The pharmaceuticalsis the one who mostly fund uh
members of the House of Representative.Oh okay, never mind, Yeah,
no, wonder TikTok. You gotour own government CIA FBI spying on us

(35:29):
thanks to the Patriot Act. ButTikTok is the enemy because it's collecting information
on your twelve year old gotcha sellingfarmland the Chinese? Uh, sometimes even
near near near military installations, gid, it's TikTok, right, okay,
gotcha? We we don't ever haveany tariffs on Chinese goods shipped here.

(35:52):
No, but no problem. China'slike yeah, making bank if you really
want to do something about China andthe threat of and then do something about
the threat of China. This TikTokstuff is absolutely nonsense. And you know
what, the House of Representatives andeverybody and they know it. And guess
what, Jake Sullivan says, it'sgoing to be even further. You know,

(36:14):
They're just want to be clear aboutwhat this bill is all about,
because a lot of people are goingaround throwing around the words ban TikTok,
TikTok band and the ultimate object ofthe bill is about a question of ownership.
Do we want TikTok as a platformto be owned by an American company
or owned by China? Oh?I see, So this is actually about

(36:36):
the government controlling who owns what inAmerica? Right, gotcha? Just wait
until somebody takes us a step further. It's it's never going to end.
I'm with the seventeen Republicans or fifteenwho voted against it. It's a bad
idea, and it doesn't it doesnothing about the real threat of China.
Becky Noble, Welcome to the show. Are you on TikTok? I am

(37:00):
not. I am I'm not either, But you know, people love it,
you know, I I yeah,I I get for the most part
that there there are teenagers and youngpeople who are talking and doing whatever it
is they do on TikTok. ButI just, uh, yeah, I
don't. I don't have a goodfeeling about it. I'll put it that
way. I don't. I don't. I don't want it. It might

(37:22):
be a trivial thing, and andand it and we do need to worry
about, you know, spy balloonsflying across the country and nobody cares,
and and like you just said,the Chinese buying up farmland near military installations.
Yeah, those are priorities. ButI just, you know, I've
thought about it, but I justI don't feel good about it. Yeah,
well, we hook up with China. I mean, everybody hear the

(37:44):
Wuhan lab Oh yeah that one.Yeah, yeah, that's a Chinese and
American collaboration in China, where wherewhere they're where they're toying around with gain
of function research on viruses. Itprobably ended up being reason why there was
the COVID outbreak. But right,but nonetheless, this is all ridiculous,

(38:05):
and I wish most Americans would actuallyunderstand this is all a russe. This
is all a uniparty effort to distractus. I mean, I mean even
the Chinese when they floated those balloonsover Becky, it was like they were
They're getting information in so many differentways that I don't blame them for floating
balloons up because everybody's gonna freak outabout the balloons, while our other hand

(38:29):
is in all their computers. It'slike really crazy, right, Yeah,
I mean you've got to think thatthey have got they've stolen so much of
our intellectual property and stolen so muchof our technology that there is a bazillion
different ways that they're gaining information andgaining intelligence about Americans and about the US

(38:50):
in general. That that, Yeah, the whole TikTok thing is is it's
kind of a giant Hey look overhere, look at this shiny thing over
here, and and and the otherthing too, is that you know,
when you talk to people about theirkids being on TikTok, and it's it's
a you know, if you're goingto tell people that their kids are in
danger of something, that's going tomake them pay attention. Yeah, that

(39:12):
that that's a great way to makethem pay attention. And while you're doing
something else, while while you're doingsomething else over here, you know,
yeah, I mean or even Idon't know whether you're talking to me on
a cell phone or whatever. Becauseare you in the basement right now because
of the storms? Okay, sowe came back up. Yeah we had
sirens about fifteen minutes ago. Yeah. Oh so so you're not one of
those people who the minute there's badweather you decided I'm gonna go out and

(39:34):
shoot a video for TikTok. Nono, okay o good? No?
Usually what right when the siren goesoff, I tend to go down to
my basement. Yeah right, great. Whenever you're speaking to me on it's
probably owned by the Chinese, right, not owned by it, but you
know the Chinese made it. Uh. And so that's already an end if

(39:55):
you really want it, if somebodyreally wants to presumably, uh, go
ahead and and latch onto what BeckyNoble's up to, or or what Jamie
Almond's daughters doing on TikTok. TheChinese aren't interested in that. They've got
bigger fish to fry. No.I yeah, I'm I'm I'm pretty boring,
you know, and they're they're they'renot gonna care about what I'm doing.

(40:19):
But yeah, I mean when youtalk about you know, yeah,
I'm on an iPhone. So weknow the Chinese involvement in Apple, But
how many other companies are do theChinese have at least, you know,
some minute vested interest in that nobodyreally knows about. I mean, the
the the the the number of thosecompanies could be endless, and you know,

(40:40):
so to be worrying about uh uhTikTok, you know, and and
and someplace where where there's people,you know, posting videos of their cats.
You know. Yeah, it's apossibility, but I don't think it's
it's nearly the possibility that of awhole lot of other things that the Chinese
can be gleaning information about America andabout Americans on. Oh yeah, and

(41:05):
Becky, the Chinese involvement even inour real estate market is incredible. Oh
yeah, I mean, if they'rebuying up entire neighborhoods, it's I mean
so so yeah, I do believeit's because of the I think the incestuous
relationship between our lawmakers in Congress aswell, not only in the Senate but

(41:25):
also in the House. And they'reties to companies that make a lot of
money off of their relationships with China. And they're not making any money off
they're off of TikTok, so,but they're making money off the other things.
And so they decided they could goafter TikTok. But oh they won't
dare demand that that pharmaceuticals be madein America. They still made in China.

(41:50):
And when Donald Trump threatened China andinfecting post tariffs on Chinese goods,
he was called a xenophobe and acrazy guy. Uh but but these guys
going after TikTok makes them somehow brilliant. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Tariffs sort of way to go.If you really want to handicap China,
you need to impost tariffs, whichis completely and totally conservative as far as

(42:12):
I'm concerned. Oh yeah, yeah, definitely, And I think that's probably
one of the reasons that they areprobably very very concerned that Donald Trump is
going to get reelected because because theyknow what's coming, and they know that
that they are not going to gethandled with the kid gloves that Joe Biden
and his administration are handling them with. And you know, I'll put even

(42:35):
put my tinfoil hat on here fora minute, and I'll say that I
think one of the reasons that thatJoe Biden doesn't really care about China is
because the money is still flowing in. Oh yeah, yeah, you know
so though, so so people willbe assuaged by the attack on TikTok and
think that the whole thing is overwith and oh yeah, now we really

(42:57):
got China because we we took TikTokaway from a I was like, no,
you don't even know they have ofit. And by the way,
I really I'm surprised no one hasactually made a tinfoil hat. It's like,
you know, we always talk aboutthe tinfoil hat thing, but you
know, no one's ever thought tomake one, because I'd wear one.
Yeah, yeah, you know.And it's the same it's the same principle

(43:17):
as when Hillary Hillary Clinton said deplorablesfive minutes later, there were T shirts
and capitalism. Man, absolutely,somebody should be out there making a tinfoil
hat. Where are they? Imean? And plus I don't even know
where that came from, but Ilike the idea we might be able to
actually glean a lot out of that, I would think. All right,

(43:37):
So, Becky, what's going onon gumshoe politics? Well, I am
talking about what our attorney generally Imissed a lot of it because I was
taking cover, but talking about thefight there at Yea the East good And
you know where does that come from? Where do kids? How are kids
becoming so angry? You know,they learn it, they learn actually is

(44:00):
part of the curriculum, if youcan believe it. I think so too.
And yeah, and I do bringthat up, you know when you're
I don't know if they're teaching CRTin the Hazelwood School district, so I
can't say that, but you know, if they're teaching some sort of element
of it, if you're teaching kidsto hate each other, that's gonna be
a problem. Yeah, it's happeningall over the country. I mean,

(44:20):
every time you turn around, there'sanother video of a bunch of black kids
beating up a white kid, rightright, right, and it's you know,
they're gonna be surprised that this hashappened. Yeah, yeah, no
doubt. All Right, Well,Becky Noble Gumshoe politics, and that's gonna
