5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: You know how those magicians start all these tricks. Take

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: a card, take any car, all right, I'm starting that way,

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: sort of, Take a scam, any scam. Now. The thing

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: with magician card tricks is, I imagine every now and

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: then the magician's trick doesn't work. Something screws up, or

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: the magician screws up, or something happens. But usually if

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: you're any good at magic, these tricks work the same

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: thing with this. Pick a scam. Just pick any scam.

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 2: You can all pick one out in your own mind.

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Just pick a scam. There's zillions of scams. I love scams.

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: They helped me prove my point. Paul doesn't know anything

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: about scams. He's very very naive. I think that if

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: you you know, if I was a scammer, I targeted

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: him right and left, and just again and again and

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: again and again and again and again. Nonetheless, Pick atty scam,

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: all right, you've done that. Whatever that scam is that

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: you've picked in your mind. Tell me that it isn't

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: enabled by Democrats. There's a reason that almost all scammers

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: are Democrats. For instance, are there any Somali Republicans? I mean,

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: I swear they talk about, Well, the Democrats pandered the

25
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: Somali vote. That's why yilan Omar and all of that.

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: That's why they couldn't go the whistle other thing in Minnesota?

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: Are there any Somalis that are Republicans? Look at all

28
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: of the people who scam welfare programs here in the

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: big American cities. They're all Democrats. They all know who

30
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: it is that provides cover for them. The Democrats are

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: the offensive line and the scammers of the running backs.

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: Now we're going to start here with a story that

33
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: we covered only a couple of podcasts ago, because there's

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: a big update on it. If you are behind in

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: your podcast, or if you're somebody who commits the terrible

36
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: sin of not listening to every one of them. We

37
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: did a segment on the people that are scamming here

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin the Service Dog program in order to get

39
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: around the requirement, get around the restriction against pets in

40
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: a rental property. A lot of rental properties say no pets,

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: but the law requires that you accept service animals even

42
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: if you don't accept other pets. You can't say no pets.

43
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: In therefore, the service animal can't commit. So what happens?

44
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: There are people out there that are certifying every snail, duck, snake,

45
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: pit bull as a service animal. We talked about that recently.

46
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: There's an update on that, And again, where did I

47
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: start this? Procrasts provide cover for all scammers. First, you

00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: dot com. Anyway, we were discussing this issue with regard

58
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: to the fake service animals and emotional support animals. The

59
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: Republicans well, the Wisconsin legislature passed because the legislature writer

60
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: is controlled by Republicans. It has got to be done.

61
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: With the Republican votes, they passed a bill that will

62
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: crack down on the abuse of this. It has become

63
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: a significant issue and problem for a lot of rental

64
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: property owners and their residents. Many people, for example, prefer

65
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: to move into a building with no pets allowed. Obviously,

66
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: if you have a pet, you don't want to move

67
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: into that building. Some property owners simply don't want the

68
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: damage caused by pets, etc. And a whole lot of businesses,

69
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: including a zillions of hotels, they say pets are welcome

70
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: because a lot of people have pets, et cetera. So

71
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: it's a situation that the marketplace can easily work on. Nonetheless,

72
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: it's become a major problem because there are a lot

73
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: of people who have animals and want to live in

74
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: places where no animals are allowed. So they just get

75
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: a certification that they're a service animal, even though they're not,

76
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: and even though the person doesn't need any kind of service.

77
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: There are guide dogs for the blind. I swear I

78
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: don't know really of any other kind of people who

79
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: need a service animal. There are some They started this

80
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: whole thing of emotional support and it's just I think

81
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: it was for people that had extreme neuroses where they

82
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: were just scared of life, and some having an animal

83
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: make them feel better. Now it's everybody with anxiety, which

84
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: apparently is everybody under the age of fifty. I start anxiety, anxiety.

85
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: I watched these YouTube videos of somebody being pulled over

86
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: for a cop I have anxiety. How come they all

87
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: have anxiety? It's the cop. Yeah, you want to find

88
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: somebody as anxiety a cop? See. I see. The thing

89
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 2: is everybody has anxiety. It's only people that are like

90
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: under the age of forty who decided that their anxiety

91
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: is something that the rest of the world should give

92
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: a crap about. Of course you have anxiety. You've been

93
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: pulled over by the cops and you have drugs in

94
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: your car. Of course you have anxiety about that. Anyway,

95
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: So we passed this bill in Wisconsin, passed the Assembly

96
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: on the Senate, pulling back on this and requiring much

97
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: more stringent regulations to provide certification for a service atible.

98
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: Tony Evers vetoed the bill. So far as I can tell,

99
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: this bill wasn't even controversial. You wouldn't think that abuse

100
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: of the service animal thing would be a Democrat versus

101
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: Republican issue. I'm sure some of the people who scam

102
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: the service animal thing are Republicans, and I'm sure that

103
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: some of the people that are bothered by the scam

104
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 2: and victimized by it are Democrats. But when it comes

105
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: to any type of scamming, the party that gives cover

106
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: for the scammers is the Democrats. So you know, when

107
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: evers is is a veto, he's got to give reasons

108
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: for it. Now, I'm gonna tell you what the reason

109
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: he vetoed it is. You know what the real reason

110
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: he vetoed He's an idiot. Well, I mean, that's a

111
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: part of it. The reason he vetoed it is because

112
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: the Republicans passed it. This is just this snit that

113
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: they have. You see, at the same you talk about

114
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: prompt arrangement syndrome, but it's really becoming Republican rangers and well,

115
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: Republicans passed the bill. We're just we're just against it.

116
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: But he's got to come up with raisins. And he said,

117
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: first of all, you should have included the disability community

118
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: and your discussions on this. First of all, I don't

119
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: even know who's the disability community. People with legitimate disabilities

120
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: and have an advocacy group, or everybody who just Clay,

121
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: I mean, who is supposed to include. Secondly, what does

122
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: that have anything to do with whether or not the

123
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: bill is properly crowded. He doesn't put anything in his

124
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: veto message as to what is flawed in the bill. Well,

125
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: it should have included these people, and it may not

126
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: take it a consideration. This and a letter of the

127
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Assembly. Evers said he wants to prevent fraudulent representation.

128
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: But see that's the thing number goods. Well, yeah, I

129
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: want to do that, except, of course they never can

130
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: come up with a way to do it. For the Democrats,

131
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: every scammer is a Somali, and as we've seen in Minnesota,

132
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: they all knew that the Somalis were scamming the programs

133
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: that dealt with COVID and so on, but they didn't

134
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: want to do anything about it because they didn't want

135
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: to lose the Somali vote. Now, the only way that

136
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: makes any sense is if they assumed that all Somalis

137
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: are scammers. I don't know if all Samalis are scammers,

138
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: but we know the Democrats think that way because they

139
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: didn't want to stop the scammers for Somalis, for fear

140
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: that all Somalis would then turn against them. Bringing us

141
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 2: back to Ebers, but vit to the bill because he

142
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: felt it unfairly affects people with disabilities who have legitimate needs.

143
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't specify how that legislation does that, he just

144
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: says it. He also said the bill should have been

145
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 2: developed with input from disability advocates and stakeholders. Okay, we're

146
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: gonna move on now, but hold that thought there. No

147
00:08:53,280 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: matter what the scam is serious level of serious like this,

148
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 2: trivial Democrats provides provide cover for the scammers. This doesn't

149
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: fall directly into the level of scam because it's something

150
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 2: beyond that. There's a very interesting development on the issue

151
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,239
Speaker 2: of the m RNA vaccines Mountain. There is significant confusion

152
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: here with regard to COVID vaccines. Not all of them

153
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: were mRNA vaccines. One of those that is still available

154
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: is a more traditional vaccine. The mRNA vaccines were the

155
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: ones that developed were developed by Moderna and Pfizer. They

156
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: were thought to be the most effective against the COVID

157
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: nineteen virus, but they were very, very new and radical

158
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: in the way that they worked. They caused this development

159
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: of spike protein in your body, and this is supposed

160
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: to help out your immune system. So the focus here

161
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: is only on the mRNA vaccines. When they were developed,

162
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 2: they were given an emergency approval, and the emergency approval

163
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: means that meant that you didn't have to go through

164
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: a long term check of side effects, downsides and so on.

165
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: The vaccines have now been out that vaccines were developed

166
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: right at the end of twenty Most people didn't start

167
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: getting them until twenty twenty one, so about five years

168
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: into this if people having gotten them, we're beginning to

169
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: get And as I said, I think it would take

170
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: fifteen to twenty years to know long term whether or

171
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: not these things were a good thing or a bad thing.

172
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: And since that was the case, best to be very,

173
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: very cautious. The greater the risk you were for COVID,

174
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: the more it seemed to be that it was a

175
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: good idea. The less you were at a risk, the

176
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: less if you would be dying of COVID, then for example,

177
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: dying of a side effect from the vaccine, maybe you

178
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: would err on the side of getting the vaccine. On

179
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: the other hand, you're somebody highly unlikely to die of

180
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: the vaccine. You would seem to err on the side

181
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 2: of not getting it because the downside of the vaccine

182
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: may outweigh the downside of you getting COVID or getting

183
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 2: a serious case of COVID. Anyway, the head of the

184
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 2: CDC during the time that these vaccines were approved is

185
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: now calling for the mRNA COVID vaccines to be pulled

186
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: off the market. This is a story you will not

187
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say not. You will likely not see in

188
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: the mainstream media, and if it is in the mainstream media,

189
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: downplayed Robert Redfield. He was the head of the CDC

190
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty. And you said, well,

191
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,359
Speaker 2: he was a Trumper. Remember that the vaccines were developed

192
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: under Trump, they were beginning, they were distributed under Biden.

193
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: Operation warp speed was Trump and Trump was putting on

194
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: the gas fitalist. Let's get going with the vaccines. Vaccines, vaccines, vaccines.

195
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: So the CDC during the period of Trump was not

196
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 2: anti vax not in hisharst term. Robert Redfield. Let me

197
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: quote from an interview he gave to the Epic Times.

198
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: COVID vaccines from Pfizer and MODERNA should be pulled from circulation.

199
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: Centers for Disease Control of Prevention official said in a

200
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: new interview quote, I would really like to see the

201
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: mRNA vaccine use curtailed, and personally, I'd like to see

202
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: it eliminated. There are simply too many unknowns. Robert Redfield

203
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 2: said he's been treating patients who have so called long COVID.

204
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: For I heard about long COVID. No one knows for

205
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: certain if long COVID is directly because of COVID nineteen,

206
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: but it's suspected. Long COVID are the people who didn't

207
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: bounce out of COVID and just have developed a number

208
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: of long term kind of their lengthy malais in their

209
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: lives and so on. Anyway, Redfield, who's a physician no

210
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: longer than in the CDC, he said he's been treating

211
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: a number of people with long COVID. Now listen to

212
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: what he has to say here and again, this is

213
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: a guy who has a bias toward thinking that the

214
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: MRA vaccines were good because they were developed when he

215
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: was at the CDC. But he apparently has an open mind,

216
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 2: he said, as well as people suffering from vaccine injuries.

217
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: He said he still favors a protein based COVID nineteen

218
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: vaccine from Novavax. Now again, Novavax is the one that's

219
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: a more traditional vaccine. The mRNA vaccines are Pfizer and

220
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: moreto He said he still supports the one from Novavax,

221
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 2: but no longer advises receiving the mRNA shots, even though

222
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: he thinks they prevented deaths among seniors early in the pandemics.

223
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: He said, Look, I do think these shots did provide

224
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 2: some protection against COVID, and of course, as we all know,

225
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: I think we knew it at the time, but we

226
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: certainly know in retrospect who died from COVID, old people

227
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 2: and people who had lots of other abidities. So Redfield

228
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: saying he did think that they did provide help for

229
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: that group that was at highest risk. Now, you recall

230
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: my commentary on all of this is the one size

231
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: fits all, one size fits all, I just as I

232
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: can teach it just it was insane to me that

233
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: people would give these things to kids. Find the long

234
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: list of kids who died of COVID. It doesn't exist.

235
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: So what are you in the world are you doing?

236
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: Putting a jab of something that you have. We've never

237
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: have any idea what it's going to mean long term,

238
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: because a brand new kind of thing and giving it

239
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: to a kid who isn't going to get not only die,

240
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: or get even very sick from COVID. So again Redfield

241
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: saying he does think that when COVID was really roaring

242
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: through in twenty one and twenty two, it did work

243
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: to aid some people extremely high risk by knocking down

244
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: the seriousness of the virus they got. Anyway, quote, I

245
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: don't advocate the mRNA vaccines anymore because as you get

246
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 2: to the idea of vaccine injury, which I give you

247
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: an mRNA vaccine, what I do is turn your body

248
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: into a spike protein production factory, and spike protein is

249
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: a very immune, a toxic protein. In other words, he's

250
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: you know, when the mRNA vaccines redeveloped. Okay, it gives

251
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: you spike protein, but it's going to fade right out

252
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: of your body real quickly. There's a strong body of

253
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: evidence that it's not that the spike protein sticks around

254
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: long term, and that can strew up your immune system.

255
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: We want to have an immune system that works, but

256
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: you don't want an immune system that's too strong, because

257
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: the MS is too strong creates all these autoimmune diseases

258
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: that are out there. So Redfield saying now that we're

259
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: deeply into COVID and the forms of COVID that are

260
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: out there are not as deadly as people who develop

261
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: their outamidity, he does not believe that we should be

262
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: giving out the mRNA vaccines anymore. Scam probably isn't the

263
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: right word for this, although some people would use it.

264
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: There's a theme that we're gonna available for the next

265
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: couple of podcasts though, and it's this most government regulators.

266
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: It's changing now with Kennedy and the Trump administration. Most

267
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: government regulators with regard to health and drugs and so on,

268
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: I believe are no more than lobbyists and shills for

269
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: the drug companies. There are numerous ways of combating illness

270
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: and creating wellness and so on. Drugs are merely one

271
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: of them. I mentioned on one of the podcasts last week,

272
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: the old debate about it. You have a heart problem,

273
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: you go to a cardiologist, he says, take medication. You

274
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: go to a heart surgeon. He says, you need surgery. Well,

275
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: of course, don't both say that that's the thing they do.

276
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: Plus it's the way they make money. It's the part

277
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: they do. Likewise, the drugs. Is there a role for vitamins?

278
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: That's there a role for exercise? Is there a role

279
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: for this? Is there a role for that? There's probably

280
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 2: a role in certain cases for certain things. But what's

281
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: happened is is that the companies that make drugs want

282
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: drugs to be the answer for everything. Not surprisingly, they

283
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: sell drugs. You go to one of the local gas

284
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 2: stations in town. Ask him, if you want to ask

285
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: the guy who owns the gas station, do you want

286
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: everybody to buy a Tesla? I wouldn't think so. He's

287
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: selling gas. Did you follow that analogy or not? Let

288
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: me turn my attention to this. If there's anything I understand,

289
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: it's human nature. Trump's advisors, according to recent reports, almost

290
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: to the point of being unanimous, are encouraging him to

291
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: more focus on the issue of affordability. It's clearly, right

292
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: now a powerful political issue. I know why Trump is

293
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 2: resistant to this. Trump's resistant to this because he's aware

294
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: that inflation stopped growing almost the moment he started changing policy.

295
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: The problem is the massive spikes in prices are still here.

296
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: The fact that they happen because of Biden and the Democrats.

297
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: It's frost and Trump that somehow he's being blamed for

298
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: a problem that he has helped to solve that was

299
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: created by the Democrats. And I think what his advisors

300
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: are telling him is, I know you're frosted by this,

301
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 2: and I know that we're asking you to buy into

302
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: something that isn't your fault. But the reality is that

303
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 2: this is a powerful political issue and you have to

304
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: be out there on it if nothing else. Start pointing

305
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: out that all the inflation, all the problems that have

306
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 2: been created here happened under Biden and the Democrats, and

307
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: happened because of what they consciously did. From the Wall

308
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: Street shurtle. During closed door meetings of recent weeks, the

309
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 2: president's aids have pressed him to calibrate his message on affordability.

310
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: Aids presented Trump with surveys from one of the president's

311
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: own posters detailing voters concerns about the cost of living.

312
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: His team has begun showing him social media posts that

313
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: illustrate how Americans view the economy. Top advisors have taken

314
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 2: turns talking to their boss about his economic messaging and

315
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: the need to emphasize what voters are feeling. Almost every

316
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: senior White House official is involved in the effort. So

317
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 2: again I understand why Trump is resisted to this. On

318
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: the other hand, like it or not, this is becoming

319
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: an issue that it's just insane that it is because

320
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: it's becoming a democratic issue, as they say, the folly

321
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: of the party. Everywhere Democrats run things, the cost I

322
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: shouldn't say everywhere. Virtually everywhere Democrats run things, the cost

323
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: of living us higher than it is. Republicans run things

324
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 2: in part because of the macs of taxation that they

325
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: have that not only is the taxes that we pay,

326
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 2: but are built into all of the products that we buy.

327
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 2: Look at the inflation that we had during the period

328
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 2: of time that Biden was the president, a conscious decision.

329
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: They wanted to lift us out of COVID by inflating

330
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: the economy, figuring that we remember the court it be transitory.

331
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: So here's Trump. So one of I note today a

332
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: big statement was released by the Trump administration talking about

333
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 2: the fact that gas prices continue to go down and

334
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: that the trend it appears to be long term. No,

335
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 2: there's always regional fluctuations, and gasoline prices the only standard

336
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 2: I go buy are the gas stations that I buy

337
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 2: my gas from normally, which is usually the ones out

338
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 2: here with the radio station, because it's cheaper than in

339
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: the city of Milwaukee. And it still seems to be

340
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: pretty dog onload of me, and the trend seems to

341
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 2: be downward, and then overall national average has been downprending

342
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 2: for a lengthy period of time. Whether or not that's

343
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: because of Trump or not, he's obviously pointing this out,

344
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: which means he's getting at least some of the message

345
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: from his advisors that you need to be talking about

346
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: these things. I would argue the best way to talk

347
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: about it is to draw attention to people as to

348
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: why this is happening. Everything democrats do drives up the

349
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: cost of everything else. Simple example, there are millions and

350
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 2: again part of the problem is is that you you

351
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 2: have to expain millions of examples by not punishing shoplifters.

352
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 2: And in most big cities, even if they arrest you

353
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: for shoplifting, the cops and the das don't do anything

354
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: to you. We drastically drive up the costs of the

355
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: prices because the businesses have to include all of the

356
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: lost What do they call it. There's a term for it,

357
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 2: something edge slipage, whatever it is. But whatever, you know,

358
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: all the stuff that stole it from them, they have

359
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 2: to inflate the prices of everything else to cover those

360
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: amounts of losses. Now, going back to the original premise

361
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 2: of all of this, if there's scammers out there, it's

362
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: Democrats providing them cover. I want to quote from a

363
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 2: column on the Wall Street Journal by Kimberly Strassel. Republicans

364
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 2: in recent years were handed the gift of California, that

365
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: collapsing paragon of climate virtue, an excellent argument for the

366
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: GOP's own better at energy agenda. Their Christmas present this

367
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: year is Minnesota. If the party has the wits to

368
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: seize on the moral of that state's epic frauds story,

369
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 2: America's welfare system is irredeemably broken. Now. The point that

370
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 2: she's making here is that the Somali thing in Minnesota

371
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: was not a one off. The Somali's was simply an

372
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: example of a huge group of people who share the

373
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: same ethnicity getting involved in doing something that's going on everywhere,

374
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: which is scamming the welfare programs we have. Back on

375
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: my old TV show, my old pair of the late

376
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: JJ Planyan made the famous comment running an aunt of

377
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 2: profit agency in Milwaukee has a license to steal. I

378
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: quote it because he's exactly right. It doesn't mean that

379
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: all the anti property agencies in Milwaukee's were stealing, but

380
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: every one of them that did was able to get

381
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 2: away with it. It's really really easy because you're stealing

382
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: money from the government, and the government it isn't coming

383
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: out of any government officials pockets. And often the same

384
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: with the Somali situation. If a Milwaukee anti property agentgency

385
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 2: and they've been a zilly good take away, say take

386
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: any of them is swiping something. Those agencies are run

387
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: by influential people in politics. In that case, it's in

388
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: the central city, so the politicians give them cover, not

389
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 2: wanting to hack them off by cutting off their scam.

390
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: By creating all of these programs, we make it very

391
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: very easy for all of them to be ripped off.

392
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: And in the case of the situation in Minnesota, you

393
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: had the governor and state officials there fully aware the

394
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: scamming was going on, but they didn't want to stop

395
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: it because they wanted to let the Somalis get away

396
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 2: with it. Back to Strassol. The Minnesota story in which

397
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: Somali frauds there's built taxpayers out of more than one

398
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: billion dollars has many ugly storylines to choose from. It

399
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: is a parable of failed assimilation and the need for

400
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 2: policies that heat the melting pot. It's another warning of

401
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: identity politics, of fraudsters using quote minority owned status to

402
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: cash in and crying racism to evade scrutiny. It's a

403
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: scandal of politicians who look the other way, more eager

404
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: to win votes than to enforce the law. There's an

405
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: editorial also in the Wall Street Jennal the Great Entitlement

406
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: State gift Grift. It's the same thing when you create

407
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: all of these Let's suppose we have I'll just use

408
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 2: round numbers here, one hundred government programs. Now, let's imagine

409
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: instead of one hundred, you have one hundred thousand government programs.

410
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: There's going to be more scamming with one hundred thousand,

411
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 2: because there's more programs to scam. If there's only one

412
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: hundred of them, maybe you can keep an eye at

413
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: all of them, but the more that are out there,

414
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: there are gonna be scammers that look at every single

415
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: one of them. In terms of the ethnic component of this,

416
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: there are certain ethnic groups that seem to specialize in

417
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,479
Speaker 2: certain frauds. The Nigerians are all over the Internet. The

418
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: Somalis apparently are all over COVID eight program. There are

419
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: other ethnic groups that specialize in Often this is done

420
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 2: from overseas, contacting elderly people who may have lost some

421
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: of their skepticism and try to scam a mount of money.

422
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 2: The thing about, well, your credit cards are all going

423
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: to be frozen unless you send us one hundred and

424
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: ninety five dollars right now, etc. Some of these are

425
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: government programs, some of them are out and out scams.

426
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: Generally speaking, though, if you have one of these programs

427
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: that it is being scammed, the political party and the

428
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: political movement that will try to allow the scam to

429
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: continue and oppose any effort to crack down in the

430
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 2: scam will be the Democrats. There's a whole other issue

431
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: about this that we're going to be addressing in the future,

432
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 2: dealing with why so many children are being diagnosed with autism.

433
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: I'll give you a little bit of a hint on this.

434
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: In order for somebody to build the government or build

435
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: an insurance company for autism treatment. You need an autism patient.

436
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: It's the same thing as what's going on over a

437
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: children's hospital. In order for all these gender therapy quacks

438
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: to be out there chopping off body parts, you need

439
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: to have kids who think that they're of the other

440
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: gender so that you can start mutilating them and counseling

441
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 2: them and filling their heads with crap. You have a

442
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 2: vested interest in claiming a problem exists if you make

443
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: money by addressing the problem. There should be a rule

444
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: of law with regard to that, or a billing's rule

445
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 2: on that. But I'm not pithy enough to come up

446
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 2: with one off the top of my head. This is

447
00:27:54,520 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 2: the Marked Belling podcast. This is the Mark Belling brief rule.

448
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: Here as a way of delving into the next topic.

449
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: Government officials never get credit for the problems they solve

450
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: because the public tends to look forward. I'm going to

451
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 2: give you a perfect example of this and how people

452
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: misjudge the politics of something. After the First Gulf War,

453
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: the first one, remember Schwartzkoff and Desert Storm get a

454
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 2: rack out of Kuwait. We sent in the American military

455
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: and it not only got a rack out of Kuwait

456
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: to chased all of the Iraqi troops right back to Baghdad.

457
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: There were virtually no American casualties. It was as simply over,

458
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: we's not only solved the problem we knew Toed Saddam

459
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: Black knocked out a lot of his stuff, drove them

460
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: right back to Baghdad, and he knew that knew enough

461
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: not to try to invade anybody ever again. Following that war,

462
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: Bush's approval rating was over eighty percent. So everybody just

463
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 2: assumed that he would sail the reelection in nineteen ninety two,

464
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: and the big shots at the Democratic Party Cuomo at

465
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: the time was one of them. They all said, well,

466
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 2: we're not going to run in ninety two because there's

467
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: no way Bush is going to lose a weight until

468
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: ninety six. That's where you got the second string. That's

469
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: where this no account governor from Arkansas Clinton got into

470
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 2: the race. But then what happened was Bush's popularity decided

471
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 2: to skid because of the economy and other factors. Nobody

472
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: voted for him for reelection on the basis of what

473
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 2: he had done solved that problem in Iraq because they

474
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 2: were looking onto an oh thing. One of the issues

475
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: that I think is frustrating Trump is he thinks that

476
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: he's accomplished a lot of people aren't getting credit for

477
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: and that's because you never get any credit for what

478
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: you'd Okay, fine, that's not a problem anywhere I'm looking

479
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: at this. Why haven't you fix this hair which brings

480
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: us to the border. You will not see much coverage

481
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 2: of not only the fact that the border crossings have

482
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: been reduced, but how many lives we have saved by

483
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 2: identifying the children that were smuggled into this country. Tom

484
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 2: Holman gave an interview over the weekend. Let me remind

485
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: you of the number of children that came across the

486
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: border illegally under Biden. The best estimate is three hundred

487
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: thousand unaccompanied. That number is stagger when you think about

488
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: how many of the people that is, and you'll recall

489
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: what the scam of the smugglers were get the kids

490
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 2: across the country. And once the kids got across the country,

491
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: the parents figured it would be easier for them to

492
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: get across as well. The problem is they were simply released.

493
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 2: They weren't with their parents, they weren't with anybody, and

494
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: Lord only knows what happened to them, as I said.

495
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: ICE has estimated that the number was three hundred thousand

496
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: over the weekend. In an interview, Tom Homan has said

497
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: that they've managed to identify and find sixty two thousand

498
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: of them, and many of them were in the sex trade.

499
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: Of course they were in the sex trade. You're thirteen

500
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: years old. You need some way to support yourself. The

501
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 2: smugglers that are bringing you what are going to monetize you?

502
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: Elsey to monetize a thirteen year old. Not only by

503
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: finally ceiling off the border, are we stopping all of

504
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: the new ones from coming in? ICE and the related

505
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 2: agencies are rescuing children from this human trafficking that's been

506
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 2: going on on. That term human trafficking. How long has

507
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: that term been around you? Fifteen twenty years. When it

508
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: first came up, it was an issue of the left.

509
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: I don't recall anybody on the right really talking about

510
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: human trafficking. It was the media started to discover and

511
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: focus on all of the children that were being exploited,

512
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 2: and for that matter, women that were being traffic simply

513
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: means being moved around, moved around for the purposes of

514
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 2: prostituting them. Out almost having them in slavery. There were

515
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: a number of people who would come from eight countries

516
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: in Southeast Asian which they were living in somebody's basement,

517
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: almost enslaved. Numerous other instances of people, you know, fifteen

518
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: year olds being brought across the border and put into prosity.

519
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: It was an issue that was brought up on the

520
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 2: left anymore, though the Left doesn't talk about human trafficking

521
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: at all, and I contend the reason they don't talk

522
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: about it is it's become apparent the overwhelmingly the largest

523
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: sources of human trafficking was the bringing of people across

524
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: the border that Biden stopped and forcing. Once they realized

525
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: that human trafficking was something that their side was causing

526
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: by their non enforcement of the border, they shut up

527
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: about it. Now, if IUCE does any attempt to identify

528
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants here in the United States, that's considered to

529
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: be a bad thing, when in many instance is what

530
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: they are trying to recover. Here are illegal immigrants who

531
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: are in children who are in desperately terrible shape, that

532
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: are not here with their parents, that are being exploited

533
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:12,479
Speaker 2: in every ugly manner imaginable. Now, as I stated, Trump

534
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: is clearly frustrated that he's not getting any credit for

535
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: solving any of these things, not only from the media,

536
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: but from anybody else. You can say the same thing

537
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 2: for almost every Republican who's ever been elected to anything.

538
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: The media isn't going to give you credit for anything.

539
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: But as for the public and sometimes your own base,

540
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: it's the same as we approach everything else in life.

541
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 2: I'll use an analogy. I like to use analogies. When

542
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: do people pray by and large, I don't mean, I

543
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: don't mean very religious people. Well, when by and large

544
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: do most people pray? In other words, of people who

545
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: only pray occasionally, when do they pray something bad is happening,

546
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: you're asking God for help. How many people pray after

547
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 2: some great thing occurred and they go and pray for

548
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 2: forty five minutes, thanking God that this great thing occurred.

549
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 2: Not many We've seen, for example, when people, you know,

550
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 2: after nine to eleven, people were wondering whether or not

551
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: there was going to be a Muslim jihad and whether

552
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 2: or not there was going to be tear all over

553
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 2: the United States permanently, and buildings are going to be

554
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: blown up all over. People were filling churches and praying.

555
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: When COVID broke out, people were praying to God, oh

556
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: don't let this wipe us out. The point that I'm

557
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: making is people tend to focus on the problem in

558
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: front of them rather than the success behind them. So

559
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 2: the people that are trying to disempower Trump and put

560
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 2: themselves back into power want all of you to forget

561
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: all of the problems they created when they had power.

562
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: This is why when the left focuses on ice, they

563
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 2: always try to find some sympathetic figure whose life is

564
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: being rowned, who is doing just all of these wonder things,

565
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 2: and never focus on all of the out and now

566
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 2: crooks that have been caught, or the many children said,

567
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: these children are being deported in many cases, the children

568
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 2: that are being grabbed up, our children that were put

569
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 2: in the sex trade, that we're living in abject squalid

570
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 2: that were being terribly abused, or that it's still running

571
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: around with these bracelets because they still owe money to

572
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: their smugglers. And how's a thirteen year old kid going

573
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: to pay back a smuggler? You can only imagine. Woman's

574
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 2: an interesting character. He's also right now a ping pond ball.

575
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: As many deportations as there ben Trump is frustrated that

576
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 2: ICE has not gotten more people out. From the perspective

577
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: of Homan, He's trying to explain that, look at the

578
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: abuse that we're getting when our agents come in, we

579
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 2: not only we have to be extremely peaceful, we've got

580
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: civilians that are trying to obstruct us. In the meantime,

581
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: Trump is wondering why the numbers aren't any higher from

582
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 2: the perspective of Home and he is a hard guy

583
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: who thinks the illegal shouldn't be in here. But he's

584
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 2: also if you just listen to him, because he's seen

585
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: so many of these cases of children that have been

586
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 2: put in terrible situations that they've rescued. And then to

587
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 2: hear lefties try to claim that they're on the side

588
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: of humanity and human compassion and concern when they were

589
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: perfectly fine with eleven year old girls being used as

590
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 2: sex toys for twenty five gang leaders. And let me

591
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: be well, that isn't what's going on. Well what do

592
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: you think is going on? How do you think those

593
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: children are getting By the fact that MSNBC isn't telling

594
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: you that that's what's going on doesn't mean it's not

595
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: going on. Now, let me move to an issue that

596
00:36:52,960 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: is making some people on my side uncomfortable, not uncomfortable

597
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: about it. Let's back into the story this way. I'm

598
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 2: going to quote from the twenty seventeen Pharawell address of

599
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 2: the outgoing President of the United States. For those of

600
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: you who don't even know recent history, that would have

601
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: been Obama. See when presidents leave, they give a farewell address.

602
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 2: George Washington's was the most famous turned out to be prophetic.

603
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 2: This is a section from Obama and the farewell addresses.

604
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: In the case of Washington, he was warning about issues

605
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: that needed to be confront of the future. When you've

606
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 2: got an egomaniact like Obama, his farewell address is going

607
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 2: to be to draw attention to and pat himself on

608
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 2: the back for every great thing that he did. I'm

609
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 2: pretty sure Trump's farewell address will kind of be like that.

610
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: You think Trump's farewell address will be looking forward to

611
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 2: future already. You think it's going to be a legacy

612
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: of going out about all the great and wonderful things

613
00:37:54,080 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 2: that he did. Anyway, here's Obama again. This is Obama

614
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 2: and what he's bragging about. We have taken out tens

615
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 2: of thousands of terrorists. In fact, under Obama, drone strikes

616
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: increased tenfold, which created anti US backlash in several nations.

617
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: When Obama campaigned for president in two thousand and seven,

618
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: he said, quote, we will again set an example for

619
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 2: the world that the law is not subject to the

620
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: whims of stubborn rulers. Many Americans voted for Obama two

621
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: thousand and eight expected a sea change in Washington. However,

622
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 2: in his first weeks in office, Obama authorized widespread secret

623
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: attacks against foreign suspects, some of which spurred headlines when

624
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: drones slaughtered wedding parties and other innocents. In twenty ten,

625
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: Obama's Director of National Intelligence, Senatece Blair, stunned Washington by

626
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 2: announcing that the administration was also targeting Americans for killing.

627
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 2: Blair revealed a Congressional committee that the news stand for

628
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: extraditional killing sport and again, this is Obama's guy. Whether

629
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: that American is involved in a group that is trying

630
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: to attack us, whether that American has or is a

631
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 2: threat to other Americans. We don't target people for free speech.

632
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 2: We target them for taking actions The threatned Americans. In

633
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: other words, Obama's rhetoric was to brag about the terrorists

634
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 2: that he was killing is dropping drones all over the place.

635
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 2: Most Americans supported this, and if anything, some wanted even

636
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 2: more of it. Most Americans were perfectly fine with bombing

637
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 2: out terrorists in other countries so that they could stop

638
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 2: their plotting to attack and kill people here. Now, where

639
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 2: am I going with this? Let's accept whether you agree

640
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 2: with that or not. Let's accept Obama's premise for a

641
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: moment that going out and targeting and killing terrorists is

642
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: a good thing. Obama did it right and left that

643
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 2: he bragged about it, and he bragged about it in

644
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 2: his farewell address. Our foreigners were smuggling drugs into the

645
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 2: United States terrorists? If not? Why not? Now, I think

646
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: you're grasping at what issue I'm driving at, which is

647
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 2: the attacks and the drug boats. And in particular, this

648
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 2: was a second strike on that Venezuelan on the drug

649
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 2: the Venezuelan drug boat that was hit a second time,

650
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 2: apparently under the authorization of Hegesath.

651
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 3: Well, why did you hit it again? Why is it

652
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 3: okay to kill vague people.

653
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 2: That Obama says were terrorist, but it's not okay to

654
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 2: kill foreigners that are smuggling drugs into the United States.

655
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: Are the drugs that are being smuggled into the United States,

656
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: the highly addictive stuff that is coming in, any less

657
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: dangerous than the threat of terrorists, I would argue not.

658
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: There are a lot of issues out there that I

659
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 2: worry about, a lot of issues that are difficult ones

660
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: you wring your hands about, and so on. Whether or

661
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 2: not we dropped a second by bomb and killed a

662
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 2: few of the smugglers that didn't die at the time

663
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 2: we dropped the first one is not anything that's causing

664
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: me to lose sleep. As for the people who arguing, well,

665
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 2: this is an extradicial action, how is it any more

666
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: extra judicial than all of Obama's terror strikes? Now again,

667
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 2: what I do, we're bringing up these issues is trying

668
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: to force people to develop some sort of ideology and

669
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: consistent thinking. Liberals will never do this because simply what

670
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: we do is good, the other side does is bad.

671
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: They focus, I think, on the second strike because they

672
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: weren't getting anywhere persuading people that knocking out the drug

673
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 2: boats is a bad thing. To say, well, the drugs

674
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 2: are all gone and all this the only reason to

675
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 2: drop the second strike is just to go and kill people. Well,

676
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: even I don't deny that, but what was the point

677
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: of dropping the drone, of using the drone bombs and

678
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 2: the terrorists? The point was to kill him because they

679
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 2: are bad people. So which is it? If there's a

680
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: democratic president, terrorists are bad, but there's a Republican president,

681
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 2: terrorists are not bad. One of the more common sense

682
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: Republican members of the Congresses, Anna Paulina. She posted on

683
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: x Obama authorized over five hundred strikes and the press

684
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: said nothing. She essentially right about that. You go back

685
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: to the eight years of Obama, see how much press

686
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: coverage and outrage there were over all of Obama's drone attacks.

687
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: There was coverage of it, but it was never outrage,

688
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 2: and the coverage was very, very minor, and if there

689
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: was any take on it, it was generally a good thing,

690
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 2: a successful hit. Now, an obvious example was the bragging

691
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: and crowing ensuring when we hit bin Laden, nobody, well,

692
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't see nobody. Virtually everyone can agree that Obama

693
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: that Bin Laden had it coming in. It was a

694
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 2: good thing that we took out him as the leader

695
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: of a major terrorist movement that attacked the United States

696
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 2: of America, the other people that were underlings in lower levels,

697
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: at the level of terror and so on. Generally speaking,

698
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 2: when we were taking them out with these hits, it

699
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 2: was perceived as a good thing. And Anna Paulina Luna

700
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: is pointing out in her commentary here that Obama drop

701
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: had authorized five hundred strikes, press had nothing continuing. Meanwhile,

702
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 2: an admiral with a strike package and intel reports protects

703
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 2: the Americans from narco terrorists. Good term, And all of

704
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 2: a sudden people decide to virtue signal the mental gymnastics

705
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 2: of politics by those who lack critical thinking skills. Oh

706
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: is that good critical thinking skills? Someone who would lack

707
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: critical thinking skills, that would be the definition of someone

708
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: who's a liberal, a definition of somebody who watches MSNBC

709
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 2: and rather than processing to evaluate and decide whether or

710
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 2: not any of the things that they're listening to or

711
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: nodding their head, no, do not completely contradict something that

712
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: we're listening to a nod in their head about a

713
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 2: year ago, that would be the lacking of critical thinking skills.

714
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,240
Speaker 2: Back to Anna Paulina Luno, who states this so well,

715
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 2: those who lack critical thinking skills is truly impressive. I

716
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 2: will one hundred percent continue to back the men who

717
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: stand up and protect this country against those that are

718
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,279
Speaker 2: trying to murder our citizens. Well done, Secretary of War,

719
00:44:53,360 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 2: Pete hegxith, We thank you for protecting Americans. Now, then

720
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: there's this whole issue of lack of unity on the

721
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 2: right of some of the people who are America First

722
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: are somehow taking an extremely narrow view of what America

723
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 2: First means it. Somehow drug dealers that are thirty five

724
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 2: miles off off our coast, boats that are filled with fentanyl,

725
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 2: well that's not America First. But if there were somehow

726
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 2: in Savannah, Georgia, it would be a different thing. The

727
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 2: larger point, though, is this, if there are people that

728
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: are not on our shores, met them in the water,

729
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 2: or in Central Africa or the Middle East, and they

730
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 2: are plotting to do approcious things to our people, innocent civilians.

731
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 2: We've been established now through several different presidents, that we

732
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 2: have accepted that it is okay to kill them. And

733
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 2: as they say Obama was the drone attack or a

734
00:45:54,960 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 2: chief problem of global terrorism is still real. It would

735
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 2: certainly seem as though a greater problem is the amount

736
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: of illegal drugs that are flooding this country from overseas,

737
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 2: and the more they come in in this great quantity

738
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 2: is why they're so inexpensive. It has explained any number

739
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: of times. The root of the fenodol crisis is how

740
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 2: cheap it is. Because there's so damn much of it,

741
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: they lace fedidol into less potent drugs. It's so perverse.

742
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,919
Speaker 2: It used to be that drug dealers would water down

743
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 2: their stuff. They would use like telcumpowder and put it

744
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: into the cocaine because it looked the same, so that

745
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: people would be spending more more pronounce in the cocaine

746
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 2: when a lot of it was the tail comporter. Because

747
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 2: the tail comporter is so cheap. Fedidol is so cheap

748
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 2: that they're lacing it into less potent drugs because the

749
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 2: fedool is so inexpensive because it's flowing into this country.

750
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 2: So Trump's bombing some of them that are bringing the

751
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 2: stuff in. Let's pull the delegation here, Paula, you bothered

752
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 2: that Trump is bombing these people?

753
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: Load?

754
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: Are you bothered by the second bomb being dropped?

755
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 3: No?

756
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 2: I mean even if I thought, well, maybe you didn't

757
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 2: have to drop the second Bob on my priority list

758
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 2: of things that I'm going to be worried about, it's

759
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 2: whether or not I have to take a whiz before

760
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 2: the end of your day's podcast would be at a

761
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 2: higher priority level than that. This is the Mark Belling podcast.

762
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: This is the Mark Belling podcast. Now, let me explain

763
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 2: something about gloating and crowing. Do you want some help

764
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 2: on the rules of gloating and crowing? Don't gloat and

765
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 2: crow very close to the time that it could be

766
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 2: shoved back in your face. You see what I'm saying now.

767
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: For example, the time for a Brewer fan to gloat

768
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 2: and crow would have been after they knocked the Cubs

769
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: out of the postseason and you aren't even going to

770
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 2: play them again for months. You get months of not

771
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 2: this coming back to bite you. Gloating and crowing about

772
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: beating the Bears, I would suggests, is not advisable because

773
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 2: you play them again in twelve days. Now, if you

774
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 2: beat them then again, it's still dangerous because you could

775
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 2: bump into them and the playoffs that they could have

776
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: the last left. But this is not the time to

777
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: gloat and crow. You understand that, No, don't you don't

778
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 2: let me discuss the Packer Bear game, which is football

779
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 2: games go. Aside from the fact that the Packers one

780
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 2: was a very entertaining game, do you have any analysis

781
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 2: of the game Before I give you mind, I'll give

782
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,879
Speaker 2: you the opportunity to analyze the game. Paul said, they're

783
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 2: evenly matched teams. The Packers defense has stepped out to

784
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 2: notch in past years. I can't disagree with any of that. Really,

785
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: I will say this, I think the primary reason that

786
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 2: the game was close is because of unbelievable missed opportunities

787
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 2: by Green Bay in the first half. I thought the

788
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 2: Bears played extremely well in the second half, but the

789
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 2: Packers dominated them in the first half, but they didn't

790
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 2: have a massive scoring edge to show for it, in

791
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 2: part because of the terrible pass interception by Love really

792
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 2: the only bad play he made in the entire game,

793
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,720
Speaker 2: and I think he said that the cold weather affected

794
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: his grip. Was a bad read and whenever you have

795
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 2: a case of a receiver that's open and there's the

796
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 2: defender above and beyond him, you got to throw it

797
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: high enough to get past the first defender and not

798
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: to so long that it gets to the second one.

799
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,439
Speaker 2: It was a terrible pick and it edited a drive

800
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 2: and it cost the Packers a scoring opportunity at a

801
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 2: time in which the Bears were not moving the ball

802
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: at all in the Packers who were moving good will.

803
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 2: There was also the Packers were just plagued by penalty

804
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 2: after penalty after penalty in the first half, one of

805
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: which just created a Bear drive. I mean, Kishawn Nixon

806
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 2: certainly had a weird game, didn't he. I mean, I

807
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 2: can't honestly say he had a good or a bad game.

808
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 2: It's hard to say because he screwed so much up,

809
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,879
Speaker 2: but he made so many good plays in the end,

810
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 2: you might say it's a wash. He's almost responsible entirely

811
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: for one of their scores, and then he was responsible

812
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 2: partly responsible at the end of the game for them

813
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 2: not scoring. But the Packers are very, very dominant in

814
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 2: the first half. Now, I have to say I have

815
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 2: this general feeling with regard to football games unless one

816
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 2: team is just way better than the other. If you

817
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 2: dominate a team but you don't have as many points

818
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 2: in the board to show for it, it usually comes

819
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 2: back to haunt you when you lose the game, because

820
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 2: things even out. That's been my experience, and even when

821
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 2: the Packers took off to what was it think that

822
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 2: they have a I think they had a seventeen seventeen

823
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 2: or eighteen point lead at one point of the game.

824
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 2: I didn't feel a sense of comfort about the whole

825
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 2: thing because the Bears had so many missed opportuity. The

826
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 2: Bears rather couldn't do anything, and I just figured at

827
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: some point they were going to and then they did,

828
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 2: and the teams then from that point kind of match

829
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 2: scores going back and forth. Next turnovers. The Bears all

830
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 2: season have thrived and winning the turnover battle. In this game,

831
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 2: technically the turnovers were even, and I say technically because

832
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 2: the only Bears turnout was that pick at the end

833
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 2: of the game. However, if Nixon had simply brought knocked

834
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: the ball down rather than caught it, it would have

835
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 2: been the same thing. As I explained last week, a

836
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 2: fourth down play is the same as a turnover. If

837
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 2: the Bears had not completed that pass, it would have

838
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 2: been turnover on downs because it was a fourth dound play.

839
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 2: So it's sort of a turnover and sort of not

840
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 2: a turnover, but the earlier turnover committed by Jordan Loves

841
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 2: a score. Turnovers in my mind, usually equate to a

842
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 2: score if a team commits three turnovers and the other

843
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,959
Speaker 2: side commits none. It's amazing how many times the team's

844
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 2: loses by three touchdowns. It just happens again and again

845
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:40,959
Speaker 2: and again and again and again. I'm not a great

846
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 2: believer in home field advantage anymore in the NFL. I

847
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 2: don't know that this game in Chicago is going to

848
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: be that much different. I thought that the Packers had

849
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 2: a slight edge over the Bears, but didn't take full

850
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 2: advantage of that edge over the Bears. With regard to

851
00:51:55,640 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 2: the ultimate end of the game. That fourth thound play

852
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 2: that will be talked about for some time, I thought

853
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 2: it was a terrible play called by Ben Johnson. And

854
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson is a spectacular coach of the Bears. However,

855
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: he's learned at the feet of the head coach of

856
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 2: the Lions. He came from the Lions, Campbell, and it's

857
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 2: just this constant going for broke, going for broke, going

858
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 2: for broke, going for broke. The Packers were not particularly

859
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: effective at stopping the run up the middle, and it's

860
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 2: clear that the Packers missed DeVante Wyatt. I thought Kyle

861
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 2: Brooks did a very very good job, and so did

862
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 2: Engebari and sort of trying to plug the middle on

863
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 2: some of these runs, and they tried to move the

864
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 2: linebackers closer to the line of scrimmage. But I think

865
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 2: Denver's going to try to run right up the gut

866
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 2: of the Packers. And the Packers go to Chicago in

867
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 2: two weeks, they're going to try to run right up

868
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 2: the gut of the Packers and so on. And given

869
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,439
Speaker 2: the fact that the Bears still had timeouts, the time

870
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 2: on the clock was not particularly relevant. I think that

871
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 2: they should have run up the middle. Secondly, great credit

872
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 2: must go to the Packer defenders. All gay. Caleb Williams

873
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 2: of the Bears was getting outside the pocket, usually to

874
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 2: his right. Now, interestingly, this play was to the left.

875
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: He was getting out of the pocket to the right,

876
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 2: and that was buying time to find an open receiver.

877
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 2: On a play like this, with everyone expecting a run

878
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 2: in every and packed into the middle, the Packers right

879
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 2: side of the defense our left as we watch. In

880
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 2: other words, the Bears left offensive side is the Packers

881
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 2: right defensive side. They all contained going wide, and when

882
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 2: Williams kind of rolled out in that direction. None of

883
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 2: the Packers were in there biting on a run play

884
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 2: and so on. They were all off to the side,

885
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 2: and that forced Williams to have to throw into the

886
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 2: end zone and the defender, Nixon, was in pretty good

887
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 2: position to either knock down the passer simply defend it.

888
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 2: But I think that probably what the Bears are thinking

889
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: of doing in that case was having Williams rollout and

890
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 2: the first option was for him to simply run for

891
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 2: the first Now, with everybody thinking the Packers in the

892
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 2: middle of the Packers had I thought pretty good containment

893
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 2: on that play. Now following is almost a no brainer topic.

894
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 2: I've been against a college football playoff when they had

895
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 2: just the two teams. I said, it was perfectly fine.

896
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: You can always figure out who the two best teams are.

897
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 2: You don't need no, no, no. Then we had a four.

898
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:14,919
Speaker 2: Then it's gonna be eighth, Then it's gonna be twelve,

899
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: and the next thing you know, it's gonna the season's

900
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: gonna be going on until the middle of June. That

901
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: everybody's gonna be into the playoffs. It doesn't matter how

902
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 2: many teams it was. Whenever there's fourth, then what about

903
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: these teams there's a controversy. If you put in more teams,

904
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 2: there won't be a controversy. There's always gonna be a controversy.

905
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 2: So now they go to twelve and there's a total controversy.

906
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 2: People are wondering how in the world you could have

907
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 2: twelve teams in this and Notre Dame is not one

908
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: of them. And I agree Notre Dame got shafted, but

909
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 2: it isn't just that simple. Notre Dame is I think

910
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 2: one of the best twelve teams in college football. There

911
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 2: are two teams in that college football playoff that I

912
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 2: think Notre Dame would be favored by fourteen points over.

913
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 2: I think they'd be favored by at least fourteen over

914
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 2: two Lane, and probably fourteen or so over James Madison.

915
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 2: Yet they're both in. Part of it is how they

916
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 2: structure this. They say that at least five of the

917
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 2: twelve have to win their conference. Well, so many conference

918
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:10,959
Speaker 2: winners stunk. The ACC winner was Duke, You couldn't put

919
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 2: them in. They have five losses, So you couldn't put

920
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 2: in the conference winner from the ACC. That means you

921
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 2: grab off to two other conferences. So the winner of

922
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 2: the American Conference got in and the winner of the

923
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 2: Sun Belt Conference got in. Then they have this rule

924
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 2: that at least one of the members of the group

925
00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 2: of five gets in. Those are the lesser conferences. Will

926
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 2: two of them got in, but one of them had

927
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 2: to get in because they couldn't put in the winner

928
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 2: of the ACC because the ACC, which is a bad league,

929
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 2: had a five way playoff for first place, and the

930
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 2: two worst teams of the five qualified for the championship

931
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: and the worst of those two teams do won the

932
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 2: title game, So you had to squeeze all of these

933
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 2: teams in. So then you have you're down to which

934
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 2: team you're gonna include in which one. Here's the bitch

935
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 2: that Notre Dame has the playoffs put out these rankings

936
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 2: every week starting in the mid season, and all season

937
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 2: Notre Dame was ranked eight or nine. Notre Dame didn't

938
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 2: pay this past week. How do they go from being

939
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 2: ranked eight or nine to being ranked thirteenth? And the

940
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 2: answer is they shouldn't be putting out these prelaboratory rankings

941
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 2: unless they're going to stick to them. It came down

942
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 2: to in the end, Miami, Notre Dame in Alabama, and well,

943
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's better than Miami. The reality is Miami played

944
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 2: Notre Dame early in the season and beat them. Now,

945
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 2: there are other games later on that Miami had bad

946
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 2: losses as well. Notre Dame of dominant wins, but they

947
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:32,359
Speaker 2: had that. Alabama got in even though they badly lost

948
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 2: the SEC title game because they're in the SEC. Do

949
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 2: I think Alabama's the second best team in the SEC

950
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 2: or the third best team in the SEC? No, I

951
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 2: think about the fifth best team in the SEC. But

952
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,919
Speaker 2: they were in there in their Alabama in any event,

953
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 2: without regard to whether or not Notre Dame got screwed

954
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 2: or not. The whole problem is once you scrape down

955
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 2: to twelve, you're going to have more controversies than if

956
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 2: there were three or four. Now, if they did it

957
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 2: the old way and they had a two, you probably

958
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 2: just have a rematch of the Ohio State Indiana game,

959
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,280
Speaker 2: because everybody thinks that the best two teams in the country.

960
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 2: If you add it to four, I don't think it'd

961
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 2: be too hard to come up with the four. You

962
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 2: have more controversy rather than left less. The more teams

963
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 2: that you included. This also the more teams you include

964
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 2: the greater the chance that somebody that didn't have that

965
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 2: great of a regular season gets hot at the end

966
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 2: and knocks off a team that was better and finally

967
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: this for ever since they've done it, I've made fun

968
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 2: of NASCAR and the way they have a championship. Automobile

969
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 2: racing is different than team sports, but NASCAR's people and

970
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: the idiots in the media want automobile racing to be

971
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 2: like a team sport, meaning that you have a season,

972
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 2: and you have a champion, and you have playoffs to

973
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 2: get to the championship. The way NASCAR used to do

974
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: it is they gave everybody points in at the end

975
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 2: of the year, whoever had the most points won the championship.

976
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 2: NASCAR decided that it wanted to be like football, so

977
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 2: they had had drivers qualify for the playoffs, and then

978
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 2: the last race the top four drivers who ever finished

979
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 2: the highest one the overall championship, without regard to whether

980
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 2: or not they had the most points during the course

981
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 2: of the season. I think that is unbelievably stupid and

982
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 2: has watered down the entire season. All right, there is

983
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 2: the alternative. Formula one does it the way NASCAR used

984
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 2: to They ad a point says, the season goes along

985
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: and whoever has the most points at the end of

986
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 2: the season wins a championship. Formula one is I just

987
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 2: it's just to me the oddest thing in America. It

988
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: is unbelievably popular on social media and has people that

989
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 2: yap about it all the time, but nobody watches the race.

990
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 2: What they do is they like watch the Netflix shows

991
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 2: about it, but the actual races. The final race of

992
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 2: the season, deciding the championship, was yesterday morning. It started

993
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 2: an hour earlier our time because it was in It's

994
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 2: an Abu Dhabi. First of all, isn't Abu Dhabi kind

995
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 2: of a funny sounding game for a country. I mean

996
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 2: it sounds like Fred Flintstone. Yeabab Aba Dabi. It's an

997
00:58:55,720 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 2: oil rich country the Emirates. Going into the race, the

998
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 2: points leader was Lando Norris. He drives from McLaren. See

999
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 2: in Formula one, the team that you're on is more

1000
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 2: important than any of your driving skills, and McLaren all

1001
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 2: year has been the best team over the last few

1002
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 2: races of the season. The most dominant driver, however, has

1003
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 2: been Max for Stappen, multiple past champion and a driver

1004
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,439
Speaker 2: for Red Bull so the way the points were set

1005
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 2: up in this race, for Stappen had to win and

1006
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 2: Norris had to finish fourth or less for Verstappen to

1007
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 2: win the championship. So all Norris needed to do is

1008
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 2: finish in the top three and less than that if

1009
00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 2: Max Verstappen doesn't win. So the race went exactly as

1010
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 2: you expected it would go. Max for Stappen won the

1011
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 2: race by about an hour and a half. I mean,

1012
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 2: he's over here and everybody else was like they were

1013
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 2: like still in a rack. But Lando Norris finished third,

1014
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 2: and all Lando Norris was trying to do is avoid

1015
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 2: crashing because you coul yeah you finished twenty six and

1016
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 2: get knocked to the back of the pack and so on.

1017
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 2: And because he's driving for McLaren and their team, their

1018
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 2: cars are so strong, all he had to do was

1019
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 2: say I had a fourth place. His teammate was running second.

1020
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 2: He's not going to pass him up because he only

1021
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 2: needed to be third in So you could say that

1022
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 2: it was an undramatic end, and that's why NASCAR goes

1023
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 2: the other way. Well, the way Formula One had it

1024
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 2: was not a dramatic Lando Norris drove safely and was

1025
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 2: good enough that he could get into third place. I

1026
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 2: still think the model that Formula one has is greater.

1027
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 2: What I would do is give a lot of points

1028
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,120
Speaker 2: for winning a race, and then one point for each

1029
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 2: successive thing to steal encourage winning. I am guessing, however,

1030
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 2: that even though zillions of people listen to my podcast,

1031
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 2: only a tiny fraction of those zillions watch the Formula

1032
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 2: one race. To me, it's a simple thing to decide

1033
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 2: what to do. There is no sports on on Sunday.

1034
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm not going to start at seven o'clock in the

1035
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 2: morning watching football pregame shows. I can't stand pregame shows

1036
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: for anything. So the race is on and I had it.

1037
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 2: I'll admit it was clearly boring. I mean the first

1038
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 2: lap for Stappan took the lead, Okay, Max is gonna win?

1039
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Is Norris gonna finish in the top three? Landa Norris

1040
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: is running around there and second and third the whole race,

1041
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 2: and he was just McClaren cars were so strong. That's

1042
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 2: all he needed to do. I think there's a chance

1043
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:18,919
Speaker 2: that if he pedaled it, he could have won the race.

1044
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 2: But why why take the risk? Go hard into the turns,

1045
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 2: run the risk of spinning out and so on if

1046
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 2: you only need to finish in third place. The big

1047
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: problem with Formula One, see NASCAR has bent over backwards

1048
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 2: to have every race nineteen cars in the lead lap

1049
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the race, seven cars right in

1050
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 2: the in the hunt going to the thing, and Formula

1051
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 2: One has done just the opposite. Some teams are so

1052
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 2: superior in a particular season than anybody else that the

1053
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 2: races are all parades. And McLaren just had the best

1054
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 2: team this year in the best cars, and then winning

1055
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 2: all the races, and then Red Bull with for Stapping

1056
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 2: came on at the end and everybody else's racing for fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth, ten,

1057
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 2: eleventh and twelve places. I mean, the way they do

1058
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 2: it it places like Slinger still seems to me to

1059
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 2: make more sense. Actually, IndyCar here in the United States

1060
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 2: probably has it the best. They tend to have competitive

1061
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 2: races with maybe eight to ten drivers having a chance

1062
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 2: of winning the race. There's that everyone thinks the packers

1063
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 2: are going to lose next week in Denver. I mean

1064
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,440
Speaker 2: I swear everyone thinks that, don't you well, I mean

1065
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 2: everyone thinks that because and the fact of the matter

1066
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 2: is you look at the Packers' schedule before this past Sunday,

1067
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 2: they needed to beat the Bears twice, and who cares

1068
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 2: what happens in the game in Denver, And the presumption

1069
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 2: is that the team is going to focus on it that

1070
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 2: way as well. What people tend to think is going

1071
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 2: to happen, however, often is not what happens. Is it

1072
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 2: possible the Packers could beat Denver and lose to the Bears.

1073
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 2: It's very possible that that's what could happen. That's today's podcast.

1074
01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 2: Next one will be released on Wednesday. Talk to you then.
