tonight The institute ░░░░░░░░ for libertarian institute also ░░░░░░░░ editorial director at antiwar ░░░░░░░░ Scott Horton Big Jim ░░░░░░░░ with you Obviously never ░░░░░░░░ good look going to ░░░░░░░░ country with something banned ░░░░░░░░ the country regardless of ░░░░░░░░ the laws may be ░░░░░░░░ you re from Having ░░░░░░░░ that this is not ░░░░░░░░ cannabis cartridges is it ░░░░░░░░ I really do feel ░░░░░░░░ brittney griner because Biden ░░░░░░░░ WNBA is a radio ░░░░░░░░ in Delaware I don ░░░░░░░░ even know Kennedy w ░░░░░░░░ ba Start with the ░░░░░░░░ reports He has no ░░░░░░░░ Hot 66wnba Listen stupid ░░░░░░░░ be there This is ░░░░░░░░ than that Yes on ░░░░░░░░ level you ve got ░░░░░░░░ feel for her but ░░░░░░░░ feel for the fact ░░░░░░░░ even if we get ░░░░░░░░ back there s tens ░░░░░░░░ thousands of people in ░░░░░░░░ for smoking pot in ░░░░░░░░ country Granted it s ░░░░░░░░ little more draconian over ░░░░░░░░ but note to self ░░░░░░░░ m not happy she ░░░░░░░░ in the position she ░░░░░░░░ in but we can ░░░░░░░░ discount the stupidity of ░░░░░░░░ actions Kennedy Chris hon ░░░░░░░░ else is Russia looking ░░░░░░░░ They want us to ░░░░░░░░ helping Ukraine or something ░░░░░░░░ like that This is ░░░░░░░░ making an example of ░░░░░░░░ American citizen a prominent ░░░░░░░░ citizen was moraynor famous ░░░░░░░░ Russia and sh making ░░░░░░░░ example to further his ░░░░░░░░ purposes around the world ░░░░░░░░ it s ridiculous I ░░░░░░░░ to god there is ░░░░░░░░ exchange for her to ░░░░░░░░ home to her family ░░░░░░░░ so it s I ░░░░░░░░ you re absolutely right ░░░░░░░░ heap there is some ░░░░░░░░ of negotiation that takes ░░░░░░░░ that gets her home ░░░░░░░░ as you pointed out ░░░░░░░░ has played basketball in ░░░░░░░░ professionally for six years ░░░░░░░░ is common for WNBA ░░░░░░░░ when the season ends ░░░░░░░░ in America they play ░░░░░░░░ It s not as ░░░░░░░░ on the women s ░░░░░░░░ turns out and basketball ░░░░░░░░ a little stripes Scott ░░░░░░░░ is interesting because our ░░░░░░░░ of state is going ░░░░░░░░ find his Russian counter ░░░░░░░░ in cambodia and finally ░░░░░░░░ to him about brittney ░░░░░░░░ Aren t there other ░░░░░░░░ he should be talking ░░░░░░░░ him about Yeah I ░░░░░░░░ this whole thing is ░░░░░░░░ surreal and you know ░░░░░░░░ woman her life is ░░░░░░░░ important her fate is ░░░░░░░░ important here But just ░░░░░░░░ of the ironny After ░░░░░░░░ and a half months ░░░░░░░░ secretary of state is ░░░░░░░░ to talk to the ░░░░░░░░ foreign minister about this ░░░░░░░░ basketball player and her ░░░░░░░░ but not about the ░░░░░░░░ war that we re ░░░░░░░░ right on Russia s ░░░░░░░░ border It s the ░░░░░░░░ reckless policy that s ░░░░░░░░ us closer to nuclear ░░░░░░░░ than any time since ░░░░░░░░ or even 1962 1962 ░░░░░░░░ our side re to ░░░░░░░░ talk with the other ░░░░░░░░ whatsoever and they blatantly ░░░░░░░░ they want to prolong ░░░░░░░░ war in order to ░░░░░░░░ Russia and fight till ░░░░░░░░ last ukrainean and look ░░░░░░░░ the situation on the ░░░░░░░░ Ukraineans are losing and ░░░░░░░░ and losing and might ░░░░░░░░ their whole southern coast ░░░░░░░░ when their democratically elected ░░░░░░░░ soft and average soft ░░░░░░░░ and went and stopped ░░░░░░░░ from negotiating to prolong ░░░░░░░░ war It s an ░░░░░░░░ outrage and Antony Blinken ░░░░░░░░ be run out of ░░░░░░░░ Kennedy I agree and ░░░░░░░░ should be joined by ░░░░░░░░ Austin and Jake Sullivan ░░░░░░░░ for slightly different reasons ░░░░░░░░ all of them but ░░░░░░░░ don t have a ░░░░░░░░ with that at all ░░░░░░░░ will Russia get out ░░░░░░░░ this Jim Well listen ░░░░░░░░ that I think the ░░░░░░░░ we re all speaking ░░░░░░░░ is you know if ░░░░░░░░ really is Putin s ░░░░░░░░ hike and no one ░░░░░░░░ it is but if ░░░░░░░░ in Ukraine is the ░░░░░░░░ of evil economic we ░░░░░░░░ end the war Putin ░░░░░░░░ embarrassing us on the ░░░░░░░░ stage because we look ░░░░░░░░ in this instance Strategically ░░░░░░░░ look weak and no ░░░░░░░░ president would have let ░░░░░░░░ get that far It ░░░░░░░░ not a Republican thing ░░░░░░░░ don t think Barack ░░░░░░░░ would let it get ░░░░░░░░ far That s my ░░░░░░░░ The perception is we ░░░░░░░░ weak on the world ░░░░░░░░ and I think the ░░░░░░░░ this drags out the ░░░░░░░░ Putin gets out of ░░░░░░░░ our nose in it ░░░░░░░░ that s the sad ░░░░░░░░ of right now Kennedy ░░░░░░░░ right u from a ░░░░░░░░ president to potentially a ░░░░░░░░ one meanwhile in Florida ░░░░░░░░ Ron DeSantis suspending a ░░░░░░░░ prosecutor for his soft ░░░░░░░░ crime policies DeSantis saying ░░░░░░░░ county state attorney Andrew ░░░░░░░░ what a name He ░░░░░░░░ so diverse He neglected ░░░░░░░░ duties and the law ░░░░░░░░ not charging certain crimes ░░░░░░░░ We are going to ░░░░░░░░ sure that our laws ░░░░░░░░ enforced and that no ░░░░░░░░ prosecutor puts himself above ░░░░░░░░ law and I can ░░░░░░░░ you the states and ░░░░░░░░ localities that have allowed ░░░░░░░░ to happen they are ░░░░░░░░ the day Kennedy we ░░░░░░░░ t want the day ░░░░░░░░ do we DeSantis took ░░░░░░░░ with lauren s refusal ░░░░░░░░ enforce laws against child ░░░░░░░░ change surgeries and abortion ░░░░░░░░ That state attorney lauren ░░░░░░░░ seen a spike in ░░░░░░░░ crime in recent years ░░░░░░░░ homicides at their highest ░░░░░░░░ since 1994 I loved ░░░░░░░░ lot about 1994 but ░░░░░░░░ the Tampa homicides Will ░░░░░░░░ see more liberal prosecutors ░░░░░░░░ the boot from conservative ░░░░░░░░ in the near future ░░░░░░░░ hahn So what DeSantis ░░░░░░░░ doing has nothing to ░░░░░░░░ with crime and everything ░░░░░░░░ do with choice Quite ░░░░░░░░ the Florida law violates ░░░░░░░░ Florida constitution which under ░░░░░░░░ 1 section 12 grants ░░░░░░░░ right to privacy to ░░░░░░░░ floridean A very broad ░░░░░░░░ to privacy that extends ░░░░░░░░ abortion and gender reassignment ░░░░░░░░ which the Florida legislature ░░░░░░░░ legislating against right in ░░░░░░░░ outed and if DeSantis ░░░░░░░░ what s good for ░░░░░░░░ he would walk off ░░░░░░░░ push back off the ░░░░░░░░ of the anti choice ░░░░░░░░ because he can read ░░░░░░░░ polls and saw what ░░░░░░░░ in Kansas and it ░░░░░░░░ not unthinkable he losing ░░░░░░░░ Florida and his natural ░░░░░░░░ are gone Kennedy well ░░░░░░░░ least someone s doing ░░░░░░░░ because you know it ░░░░░░░░ a misnomer to say ░░░░░░░░ on crime because certain ░░░░░░░░ like Mike hit up ░░░░░░░░ Portland they don t ░░░░░░░░ there s such a ░░░░░░░░ as crime and taken ░░░░░░░░ justice reform and thrown ░░░░░░░░ so far out of ░░░░░░░░ Scott even having conversations ░░░░░░░░ rational police reforms don ░░░░░░░░ enter here because there ░░░░░░░░ is no policing Scott ░░░░░░░░ Yeah you know leave ░░░░░░░░ to these progressives to ░░░░░░░░ blow it There s ░░░░░░░░ much pressure built up ░░░░░░░░ this country on the ░░░░░░░░ and on the right ░░░░░░░░ the lockdowns were a ░░░░░░░░ red pill for a ░░░░░░░░ of Americans on the ░░░░░░░░ It s not just ░░░░░░░░ atf Your local police ░░░░░░░░ very much be the ░░░░░░░░ of your life and ░░░░░░░░ as well and then ░░░░░░░░ happens is these progressive ░░░░░░░░ come in and instead ░░░░░░░░ reforming the obvious things ░░░░░░░░ need reform like accountability ░░░░░░░░ cops who break the ░░░░░░░░ and demilitarizing the police ░░░░░░░░ nighttime swat raids and ░░░░░░░░ kinds over atrocities Instead ░░░░░░░░ come in and essentially ░░░░░░░░ violent crimes or refuse ░░░░░░░░ prosecute them legalize brazen ░░░░░░░░ and you know raise ░░░░░░░░ guess it was in ░░░░░░░░ where they raised the ░░░░░░░░ theft limit up to ░░░░░░░░ 000 essentially declaring open ░░░░░░░░ on retail stores and ░░░░░░░░ kind of thing And ░░░░░░░░ they go after people ░░░░░░░░ defend their property or ░░░░░░░░ their own life as ░░░░░░░░ saw in the case ░░░░░░░░ the bodega store clerk ░░░░░░░░ in New York just ░░░░░░░░ couple of weeks ago ░░░░░░░░ the progressives of course ░░░░░░░░ have their premises all ░░░░░░░░ and of course they ░░░░░░░░ blown our opportunity mostly ░░░░░░░░ reform policing in the ░░░░░░░░ and we ll hear ░░░░░░░░ the right wing reactionaries ░░░░░░░░ and more that well ░░░░░░░░ you had your chance ░░░░░░░░ now it s back ░░░░░░░░ the thin blue line ░░░░░░░░ law and recorder You ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump called for ░░░░░░░░ death penalty to drug ░░░░░░░░ the other day and ░░░░░░░░ s what we get ░░░░░░░░ reaction to the progressives ░░░░░░░░ their opportunities Kennedy yeah ░░░░░░░░ s no actual reform ░░░░░░░░ s who DeSantis is ░░░░░░░░ you cannot just choose ░░░░░░░░ laws you enforce when ░░░░░░░░ are a state s ░░░░░░░░ You don t get ░░░░░░░░ That s not what ░░░░░░░░ is about Kennedy it ░░░░░░░░ is Jimmy I want ░░░░░░░░ bring up something here ░░░░░░░░ youngest daughter for a ░░░░░░░░ time during the pandemic ░░░░░░░░ watched every episode of ░░░░░░░░ s anatomy three times ░░░░░░░░ there s 18 seasons ░░░░░░░░ too Kennedy she wanted ░░░░░░░░ be a surgeon Should ░░░░░░░░ have sent her into ░░░░░░░░ or with a scalpel ░░░░░░░░ point is sometimes kids ░░░░░░░░ know are very firm ░░░░░░░░ their decision making about ░░░░░░░░ they want in the ░░░░░░░░ Now she wants to ░░░░░░░░ a voiceover actor or ░░░░░░░░ federal investigator so she ░░░░░░░░ changed course Listen I ░░░░░░░░ it s better than ░░░░░░░░ my son was watching ░░░░░░░░ was watching 50 50 ░░░░░░░░ of grey s anatomy ░░░░░░░░ s a different show ░░░░░░░░ together What does he ░░░░░░░░ to be now Hey ░░░░░░░░ Hey girl But here ░░░░░░░░ the thing You re ░░░░░░░░ to talk about how ░░░░░░░░ gender fluidity can be ░░░░░░░░ at Demi Lovato and ░░░░░░░░ switched back a day ░░░░░░░░ after identifying the opposite ░░░░░░░░ a woman Someone at ░░░░░░░░ can change their mind ░░░░░░░░ don t know that ░░░░░░░░ be a wake up ░░░░░░░░ not to let 5 ░░░░░░░░ olds choose a body ░░░░░░░░ surgery that will change ░░░░░░░░ for life People see ░░░░░░░░ s a basic decent ░░░░░░░░ disorders on the DeSantis ░░░░░░░░ of this argument and ░░░░░░░░ s reckless to have ░░░░░░░░ have a that level ░░░░░░░░ choice When Lincoln was ░░░░░░░░ he wanted to be ░░░░░░░░ ninja turtle We didn ░░░░░░░░ stuff him in a ░░░░░░░░ and tell him to ░░░░░░░░ crime It would have ░░░░░░░░ better and had more ░░░░░░░░ around the house but ░░░░░░░░ re decent parents despite ░░░░░░░░ Kennedy oh the child ░░░░░░░░ I love all of ░░░░░░░░ conversations This is fantastic ░░░░░░░░ that s why you ░░░░░░░░ the man panel and ░░░░░░░░ ve been cast as ░░░░░░░░ stars of this show ░░░░░░░░ We ll see more
