WEBVTT - Will We EVER Get Accountability For EVIL? 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:06.760 A couple things, just real quick, because we're going to 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:08.360 move on. We have to talk about law fair and 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:08.880 everything else. 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:11.559 A couple things. Remember that you and I we do 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.680 not decide elections. I wish we did. 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:18.120 You were informed, I'm informed. The hardcore GOP voter does 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:22.880 not decide elections. The independent voter does. It sucks the 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:25.279 people who blow this way and that way. I'll vote 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.680 for a Democrat, I'll vote for a republic. They're all 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.320 over the map. These are the people who decide elections. Okay, 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.520 so we have some pull numbers out and they're terrible. 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.120 We have a midterm election coming up, and Trump has 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:42.640 a sixty percent disapproval rating. He is being disapproved of. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.800 This is not by you and me said, don't email me, 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:51.760 I love it. Stop talking about independence, immigration, Iraan economy, inflation. 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.760 But okay, what's wrong with these people? Are they stupid? 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.080 They're not stupid, They're just not informed. They don't have 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.880 any idea about anything. They go whichever way the wind blows. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:08.160 They also feel very strongly about this. Sixty six percent 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.880 of independence sixty six percent say that the Trump administration 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:17.920 is not focused enough on domestic matters. All that's happening 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.880 while Lindsey Graham goes on the news every single night 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:21.679 and says stuff like this. 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.720 Here's what I tell President Trump. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.399 Keep it up for a few more weeks. 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.640 Take carg Island, where all of the resources they have 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.119 to britis ol control that island. Let this regime down, avine. 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:35.360 Is this going to though, Take carg Island? Is it 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.600 going to involve US troops on the ground. Let me 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.600 just read you something from the Atlantic does an assessment 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.200 on that. They say US troops may well take carg Island. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.679 We believe their ability to do so, but only to 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.600 endurea ballistic missile strikes, drone attacks, petrochemical smoke, all without 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.280 a reliable means of obtaining logistical support. The result could 0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.960 be a grinding war of attrition. They talk about how 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.960 far away they would be from recent. 0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.200 Sort of tired of all this armchair quarterback. And it's 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.520 been amazing military operation. God bless the fallen. 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:04.760 But it's a difference. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.520 Let me talk about trips on the I trust the Marines, 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.000 not that guy. I trust the O DVE. We got 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:14.560 two marine expeditionary units sailing to this island. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:15.919 We did AEO Jima. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:17.280 We can do this. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.359 We lost over six thousand marines on ego Jima. Lindsey 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.000 Graham is going to get us destroyed in the midterms. 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.440 Might want to call him, mister President. Tom shut his mouth. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:33.800 We'll move on. 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.799 I love feeling great at the end of the day. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:38.079 That's really the difference. 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.359 It's not in the morning when you wake up, good 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.359 night sleep, bad nights sleep, whatever you had. You wake up, 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.360 cup coffee, breakfast, You're all right. You're all right for 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.440 a while. Do you hit that wall? So many people do. 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.600 I did for a very long time. Three four in 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.920 the afternoon, you're staring up at the clock. 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.760 Oh my gosh. We you don't have to hit that wall. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.120 Fact, you can feel as good when you get home 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.840 as you did when you left for the day with 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:10.600 natural herbal supplements from Chalk.

Congratulations, Now that 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.000 we'll talk about Democrats. First, we'll focus on them, although 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.600 that's that's not where I'm actually going with this. We're 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.280 gonna get to the GOP and fail your theater. But 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:01.680 first we understand what the communists, what the Democrats want. 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.480 It's very obvious to anybody who's paying attention the notion 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:09.160 that they're just well meaning, just a little misguideed. Surely 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.720 we've put such childish notions aside right now. The Communists 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:17.320 in the United States of America are painfully aware of 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:21.320 something I hope you have accepted. The mass importation of 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:26.599 foreigners guarantees they will get power and hold power forever 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.600 in this country. The mass importation of foreigners guarantees that 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.200 if we mass deport foreigners, the Democrat party. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:35.520 Completely ceases to exist. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:40.600 And I'm not making that a stretch. Please understand that 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.599 I don't mean Democrats are going to become the forty 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.839 sixty party. Democrats are a twenty percent party in this 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.160 country if we deport foreigners. And you may deny that, 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.920 but Democrats know it full well. Why do you think 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.360 they fight so hard to bring them here, keep them here, 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.719 And why would they fight so hard art against having 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.200 to show ID American citizenship to vote. It's such a 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.200 simple concept. Eighty percent of Americans support it. 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:07.520 Well. 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.599 Democrats know those numbers. So why would they take the 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.880 twenty percent side of an eighty percent issue? Because if 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.400 they relent on this issue, If they relent, they're done. 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.000 Their very existence is at stake. Here's what they've been 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.839 saying underneath the surface. 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.080 The Save Act is a voter purge bill. Most of 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.800 its core elements don't even talk about voter ID. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.080 The Save Act is a massive voter suppression bill that 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.640 would make it very difficult for millions of Americans, especially 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.400 women who have changed their name. Their name on their 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.680 birth certificate no longer matches the name on their real 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.279 ID or driver's license. It would cause chaos to voting 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.840 and really strength the voting roles five or ten percent. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.479 His bill would make it more difficult for people who 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.040 generate are not inclined to vote for him to vote. 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.560 It would make it harder to get They have to 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.400 show identification of some of the identifications passports or birth 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.720 certificates that are hard to come up with and most 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:10.080 difficult for people who are less likely to vote for Trump. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:16.599 This bill is about stopping groups from voting who tend 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:21.160 to vote for Democrats. This is again about. 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.200 Rigging the next election. 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.919 Republicans will make it harder for you to vote because 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.640 if this bill passes, you will need to show a 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:35.240 photo ID and proof of citizenship in every single state, 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.720 but a student ID won't count. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:40.560 I call it Jim Crow two point zero, and it 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.920 is that it makes it more difficult most the thing 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:45.760 that most Americans you be able to do them. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:50.680 Only American citizens can vote in American elections. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:53.880 Nobody's trying to change that. 0:06:55.120 --> 0:07:03.000 Non Citizen voting in federal elections is already it is 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:08.479 a federal crime. If a non citizen illegally votes in 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:13.720 a federal election, they could be prosecuted and even sentenced 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:18.680 up to five years in prison. Who's going to commit 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.920 this kind of fraud knowing that they could be in 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.320 prison for five years. 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.240 They're obvious. They come out and say it. 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.080 They've imported so many foreigners now, especially in these blue districts. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.320 They feel comfortable saying things on television and that no 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.680 politician in America in history Republican or Democrat would ever say. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.160 I mean, I think, how bnkers it is that Chris 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.440 Murphy can go on television and say this and he 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:49.360 doesn't have any fear. 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.680 It has failed to deliver for the people we care 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:57.360 about most, to the undocumented Americans that are in this country. 0:07:58.920 --> 0:07:59.960 Okay, we got it. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.200 Democrats are communists, They're demonic, they're evil trying to burn 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:03.840 down the country. 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.480 We got it. Now. 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:12.400 You know, the other night, I was out of town 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.800 with my wife, Bob out of town. We were an 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.040 hour away, but my kid had a track meet and 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.280 we were on the way to the track meet. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:20.000 We were hungry. 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:25.680 Now, I wanted in an out burger. Telling you right now, 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.800 I wanted in an outburger. That was my agenda. I 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.880 knew there was an in and out burger coming up, 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.600 and that's what I wanted. And I knew Ab the 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.560 health freak. I knew she wasn't going to go for 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.560 in and out burger. And it's a salad is something. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.600 I knew what I was going to get. But I 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:47.760 also knew something else. Years ago, Bob had a bad 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.960 experience at Applebee's. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.319 We don't have to get into the details. I like Applebee's. 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.839 She had a bad experience, one of those experiences where 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:03.200 she said, I'll never eat there again. Okay, So we're 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.720 driving towards the track meet and I said I'm hungry, 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.400 and she said I'm hungry too. And I said, well, 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.880 we got two choices in this area. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:14.560 She said, what are they? 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.400 I said, we got Applebee's or we got in and 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.960 Out Burger. And she said, oh, well, I can't eat 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:27.560 an Applebee's. Let's go to In and Out Burger. You see, 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:31.800 what I did was wrong, deceitful. What I did was 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.480 I gave her the illusion of choice. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.760 There was no choice. I knew there was no choice. 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.800 The Republican Party, in many ways, exists to give you, 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.520 the voter, me the voter, the illusion of choice. We 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.880 know Democrats are demonic, communists and evil. We know they're 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.400 trying to burn the country down, and so we want opposition. 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.800 We want someone to stop the demons from burning the 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.960 country down. I'm going to introduce you to three Republicans, 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.480 and I want you to keep something in mind. All 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.840 three of these Republicans are from red states. I could 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.280 get elected in any one of these states if I 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.240 ran for Senate and actually earned the Republican nomination. These 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.719 states could elect anybody, this is who they send to 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:16.200 the Senate. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:21.240 I'm the only candidate advocating a comprehensive approach that includes 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.000 a long, hard earned pathway to citizenship. There's some people 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.080 saying we need to limit legal immigration. To me, they're 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.440 just looking at a different world than I am. We'll 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.120 be down to two workers for every retiree in the 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.680 next twenty years. We're going to need more legal immigration. 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.680 Do you think that whatever you're working on will have 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.800 to include a path to citizenship for Dreamers? 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:40.160 I do. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.280 I've been pretty outspoken on that for even last September, 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.760 Senator Tillis and I both put out a proposal to 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.560 get citizenship for those individuals that are in the Doctor 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.199 program or were eligible for the Doctor program. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:11:01.280 Doctor recipients must have a permanent legislative solution deserve nothing less. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.360 We need to take action and pass legislation that will 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.560 unequivocally allow these young men and women to stay in 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:16.400 the only home, in the only country they've known. In 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.720 the past, I've supported a number of bills that would 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.679 have allowed these individuals to remain in the United States 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.640 without a fear, without fear of a court decision hanging 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:30.200 in the balance. But each time partisan disagreements have prevented 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:35.000 us from turning anything into law, Madam President, when it 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:42.560 comes to immigration laws, Congress on a bipartisan basis never 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.240 fails to fail. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.600 Do we need then, to anyone who's here illegally that 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.720 hasn't committed a crime? Senator Curtis, should there be a 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.360 path a citizenship? Is that what compassion means to you? 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.760 Or should these people not be allowed to stay? 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.720 Well, then let me ask you a question. Is there 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:02.560 any law, any rule broken in our country where we 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:07.520 don't have a consequence defined? So why don't we have 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.160 a consequence defined when it comes to coming into this 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.640 country without documentation? We continue to allow these people to 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.320 be here, but we haven't defined what their consequence. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:24.120 Is, So that that's an action from from policymakers. Absolutely, 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.760 all right, So what what would you say we need 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:27.000 to do? 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.760 Then? What's your answer to that? I guess it is 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:30.680 like every other. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.280 So first of all, you have to define amnesty, But 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.959 any other crime that's committed here in our country, we 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:43.080 define what, we define what the punishment is, and we've 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.319 we've failed to do that in this case. 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:56.160 I misspoke. I said three Republicans. That's four South Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:57.959 blood red states. 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.800 Those are the senators they send. And those senators get 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:03.640 to Washington, d C. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.720 Not to fight for you or me, not to fight 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:11.320 against the demonic communists. They go there to control you, 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.120 to control me. They go there to present you and 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:19.040 me with the illusion of choice. And so I'm sorry, 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.720 I'm not even gonna play the John Thune SoundBite about 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.520 to save to reconciliation. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.120 We might do this, so we might. 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.000 I'm tired of fail your theater because I understand the 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.000 game now. I'm sure you understand the game now as well. 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.080 I'm tired of the illusion of choice. I would like 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:37.480 a real choice from now on. 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.360 Pall. That may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right, 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:42.480 all right. 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:47.120 I have to blame cowboy Closstrum for something. You see, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.800 when I first started drinking coffee, I used to put 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.520 the fruity little creamer things in there, the French vanilla 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.640 or whatever, and I never felt manly about it. I 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.440 always felt like it wasn't right. I felt like, this 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.319 isn't what John Wayne would do. And so I made 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.920 a decision. This years ago. I decided, you know what, 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.280 I'm only gonna drink black coffee, just like John Wayne 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.080 did and all the Cowboy movies. And I just cut 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.800 myself off. No cream, no sugar, straight black coffee. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:17.080 It's good. 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.040 And then I discovered cowboy colostrum. You see, it's not 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.240 made to be put in your coffee, although you can. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:28.440 It's for your gut. It's heartburn, gut problems, it's for 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.440 your gut. But I started putting a couple of scoops 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:37.920 in my coffee and minus chocolate. It's delicious. And I've 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.680 started to like it again. And I've stopped drinking black 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:45.360 coffee because Cowboy colostrum is so delicious. Also, I don't 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:51.200 get heartburn anymore. Cowboycolostrum dot com code JESSETV. 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:01.880 You know what blesses me. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.480 I know there are so many things to complain about, 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.400 and so many of those things are valid. I'm not 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:10.280 saying they're not, but that so many of the evils 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.960 of the COVID era they are in small ways, not 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.080 in every way, but in small ways being righted. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:19.480 And one of those ways is this. The people who were. 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:23.120 Attacked had their careers, had their lives attacked during COVID 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.120 for being right. They were almost always the ones who 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:29.280 were right. They're now the ones holding the power. They're 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.480 now the ones who are trying to make things right, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.600 and that blesses me. One of those people who stands 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.280 out maybe the most, is doctor j Batacharia and i 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:42.960 h director and acting CDC director, Doctor j How many 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.720 titles do you have on your business card at this 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:45.320 point in time. 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.520 It's a little it's a little crazy longing. A lot 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.040 of mouths to Atlanta these days, Jesse. It's nice to 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.520 be with you. 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.120 No, it's great to it. In fact, I'm want to 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.600 focus on that. I'm want to focus on something nerdy. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:01.880 What do you do now? 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.240 Like what? Okay, you're in Atlanta? Why are you in Atlanta? 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.320 More people are watching? Why are you not in Washington, 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:06.640 d C? 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.320 What? What? What are your roles? What do you do? Yeah? 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.560 So the first the NIH what we do is we 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:15.240 fund science. That's what we're supposed to do. Fund science 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:18.120 that improves people's health. That that's the and that mostly 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.080 takes place in Bethesda, Maryland, but it also takes place 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.600 all across the country. Fund all the all the scientists 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:27.400 around the country who work on geeky scientific projects. Uh, 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:29.800 it got really political during the pandemic. But we're turning 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.160 it all where I'm from that and focus on what's 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.040 supposed to be focused on, which is science that improves 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:38.120 people's health. That's in Bethesda, Maryland, near d C. And 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.920 then the other job I have now is acting director 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.520 of the Center for Disease Control, which is in Atlanta, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.120 and what it's supposed to do, and actually, you know, 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.480 it has done a really great job over the many 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.160 many years. What is uh boots on the ground for 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.760 public health, like when there's a disease outbreak, when you 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.240 know you want a tobacco cessation for you know, like 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.200 helping people quit quit smoking or whatever. That's what the 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.080 CDC's supposed to do. And it's had a long, great 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.359 track record. A lot of public trust, as you said, 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.200 got broken during the pandemic. I view my job primarily 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:13.720 is to help these organizations rebuild the trust because they 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.560 are great organizations. They have a long track record of 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:21.480 success in their respective spheres, and I want them both 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:22.920 to get back to that. And you know, it's been 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.119 really fun to watch just in the last year a 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.760 lot of people in both organizations embrace this idea that 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.399 we can do better and will do better, and embrace 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:32.920 the idea of making American healthy again. 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:38.280 Okay, how does one go about that earning back that trust? 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:39.960 Because you're right, we have to have it. The trust 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.639 has to be there. The trust was violated by these organizations. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.000 Now you have to come in with the mop and 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.240 the cleaning supplies and try to clean up the mess 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:49.520 someone else left for you. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:53.760 Where do you begin, Well, I think first let's see 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.720 what the endgame is. Right, So, the way that the 0:17:56.840 --> 0:18:00.600 organizations and public health and science regains trust by actually 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.200 delivering on this promise of making American health. If we 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:07.520 can find cures for diseases like sickle cellingia, which the 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:11.680 NI actually has. If we can we can get treatments 0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:14.399 for cystic fibrosis, if we can make the lives of 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.760 of of kids with autism better or prevent autism, if 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.960 we can address the problems of Alzheimer's is if we can 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.399 actually deliver on all of these promises that science can do, 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.040 that will rebuild trust and for public health. If we 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.000 can instead of being seen as like and I think 0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:33.760 this was part of the danger during the pandemic because 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:35.280 it's sort of seen as like, Okay, they get to 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.360 tell you whether it or a mask, or like tell 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.880 you whether you must or must not take a vaccine. Instead, 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.680 just become partners good, give good advice to you about 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.760 like what does a scientific haven say. It doesn't say 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.320 when it reflects when there's a scientific controversy, to reflect 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.600 that controversy in our message and say, well, we're not 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.679 sure being able to be humble partners of the American 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.359 people in public health in ways that and empowers people 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.600 to make their health better if we actually achieved after 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.480 the American people, that's how you achieved trust. 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.160 What's a Missouri versus Biden? 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.320 Okay, that is a case that I was involved with 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:18.280 in twenty twenty three, twenty twenty two. Maybe the state 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:21.040 of Missouri reached out to me because what they had 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.679 seen and I personally had seen it as well, is 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:27.120 that a lot of a lot of social media would 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.200 suppress different views about how to manage the pandemic. 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:30.639 Right. 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.040 So I was a very big advocate for the idea 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.960 of focused protection. The Great Barrington Decoration is something I 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.800 wrote co wrote with. The idea was you protect older 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:43.000 people better and you don't close schools lead You don't 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:46.199 do lockdowns. You let people allow them to have regular 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:48.840 lives that are her low risk while protecting older people better. 0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:54.600 And I noticed online there was actually quite difficult, Like 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.520 I put messages up on Twitter. I joined Twitter for 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.320 the first time twenty twenty one, and it was it 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.160 was very, very evident that there was those messages being suppressed. 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.320 It was also evident to me from looking around from 0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:09.600 my friends who were fellow dissidents that they could not 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:12.240 get their message up. They were people with vaccine injured 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.840 patients on Facebook who were just talking to each other 0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:18.720 vaccine injuries around around COVID vaccine that got their private 0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:23.720 message groups completely knocked offline. And the question is why, 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:25.840 what's purpose is why would Facebook have any interest in 0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.640 doing that. The Missouri versus Biden case was a case 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:30.760 brought by the Missouri Attorney General and then joined by 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:35.480 the Louisiana Treny General, essentially arguing that the Biden administration 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:43.080 had orchestrated essentially a widespread program to suppress free speech online. 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.199 They would go and people like from the White in 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:50.560 the White House, the CDC, even unfortunately the NIH to 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.879 some degree, the surch and General's Office and also the 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.560 State Department would go to social media companies and essentially 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.280 tell them, if you don't take these people off, if 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:02.160 you don't if you don't censor these people or these 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.479 ideas anyways, then you were going to go after your company. 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:10.120 That court case went to a circuit court who they 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:12.720 that circuit court essentially what they found was that this 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.080 was like a like an al Capone scheme jesse, where 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.840 like you know, you know that, you know, the Alcophone 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:20.560 will go to shoot some Chicago business. Say that's a 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:22.520 nice business. You got there to be terrible something happened 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:24.520 to it. That's the role that the government played when 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.479 they would go and tell social media companies you got 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:28.800 to censor these people or the sensor of these ideas 0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:32.600 went all the way to Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court, uh, 0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.399 we got to an injunction saying that the Governm's not 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.919 allowed to do this. The Supreme Court then lifted that 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:40.520 injunction in the decision that will shock me to my 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.080 dying days, essentially saying that I and other people who 0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.640 had been censored did not have standing to sue that 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:50.439 we were not allowed to be that. In fact, the 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:53.280 State that the government could in fact go to these 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:55.119 companies tell them as long as they told them to 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:59.000 suppress ideas and not named particular people, then the government 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:01.720
