5
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: just logistics issues? Oh well, we'll get into all of that.

30
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Go check it out. Okay, I'm not a big professional

31
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: sports guy, as you know. If you listen to this podcast,

32
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: you could even say, in general, I don't care very

33
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: much about professional sports. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy

34
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: watching from time to time. But for me, the role

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: that professional sports plays in my life would be a

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: lot like the role that video games plays in other

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: people's lives. It's an enjoyable thing in moderation that you

38
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: don't want to spend too much time doing. That's just

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: my opinion. But occasionally a story does pop up, a

40
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: situation does come about where you have some real crossover

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: and you have a broader issue that all of us

42
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: can see is worth understanding and discussing. Here's a situation.

43
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: John Gruden, even I knew who this guy was, stepped

44
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: down as the Raiders head coach just yesterday after The

45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,559
Speaker 1: New York Times reported that the coach made racist, misogynistic

46
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: and homophobic comments at a bunch of different people. So

47
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: this is the emails have been obtained by the New

48
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: York Times. So here's what's going on. There was apparently

49
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: some kind of a an investigation into uh, you know,

50
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: NFL practices, commentary, behind the scenes, things like that, and

51
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: a whole lot of private emails have now been scoured

52
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: over and they've gone into people's hands who were looking

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: at this kind of stuff. And there's a it's over

54
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: a seven year period ending in twenty and eighteen. Gruden

55
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: was criticizing Goodell, the commissioner, and other people. And here's look.

56
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: He said stuff that you know, you shouldn't say. It

57
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: depends on what comment exactly we're talking about here, but

58
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: he said things that were unwise, that were not in

59
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: good taste. But I would say this as well, this

60
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: notion that all private commentary that that if you had

61
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: the if you had access to everything that a person

62
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: had ever written or said that you could still think

63
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: that they would get up, they would get a pass,

64
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: they'd be able to get away from the woke mob

65
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: coming for them. I just think that's absurd. I think

66
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: it's not reality. I think everybody needs to understand that

67
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: this is something that if you were to yourself have

68
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: your emails in the hands of somebody looking or your

69
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: text messages looking to ruin you or destroy you, there

70
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: would be real problems for you. I mean pretty much

71
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: anybody I think says or text or emails something at

72
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: some point in time that they don't think would be

73
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: good to have out loud. And look, there are varying

74
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: degrees of bad here, I would say for the things

75
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: that Gruden wrote. But this guy had one hundred million

76
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: dollar contract over ten years to coach the Raiders and

77
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: that's now all gone and he has resigned effectively in disgrace,

78
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: and it's because of things that he said that he

79
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: thought were private that have now come out. Now there's

80
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: a few lessons here, I mean one of them would

81
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: be you, really, anytime you text or write anything, you

82
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: should start to think of it as could this end

83
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: up publish somewhere. Even if you're a private person. You

84
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: just don't know. And I know that's it's a difficult

85
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: way to live our lives. It's a difficult way for

86
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: us to think about these things. But it's it's safe

87
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: practice if you can, if you can do it, if

88
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: you can have that discipline. Clearly mister Gruden did not

89
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: think of it that way. But also I have to wonder,

90
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: so what happens to him now? I mean, these were

91
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: comments that he made privately to individuals who were not

92
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: offended by them. He made comments that were offensive. Is

93
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: this policing what an individual privately believes at some level?

94
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't He was writing from a private

95
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: email address, so his emails, as I understand it, got

96
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: caught up in this investigation. He was not using company

97
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: servers or or using things that somebody would be generally

98
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: in a you know, day to day sense, more careful about.

99
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: And now he's done. Now he's finished. Because he said

100
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: the wrong things. He offended groups that will demand and

101
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: they already have that he be punished severely for this.

102
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: I wish we did not live in a country where

103
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: this was the case, where you would lose your job,

104
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: your livelihood because of things that you said that you

105
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: believe were private, that did not actually harm anyone, that

106
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: were not directed at anybody who felt harmed by it,

107
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: but that you're just not allowed to use certain language

108
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: or have certain beliefs, even in private, because if it

109
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: comes out publicly, you'll be ruined. It's a shame, But

110
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: it does seem like that is where we are as

111
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: a country, and that's the reality that we all face here.

112
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: So I am not somebody who cares very much about

113
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: professional sports to bring this full circle as you already no,

114
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: but I am someone who feels like we now the

115
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: wokeness has just gotten to be a true psychological plague

116
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: in this country, and no one's allowed to No one's

117
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: allowed to say, hey, that was an intemperate moment. That

118
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: was a I said something dumb. I'm sorry, I shouldn't

119
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: have written that that was and everyone goes, Okay, you

120
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: know you're not a bad person. You don't hate such

121
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: and such individual or group of people or whatever. You

122
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: just said something that you were not supposed to say

123
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: and then move on from there. No, now it has

124
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: to be your ruin. You're destroyed forever all right. Now

125
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: we have the Southwest Airlines situation. And this is really

126
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: interesting because there have been people who have come out

127
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: and said that there is oh and I should mention

128
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: the Texas State Executive Order now from Governor Rabbitt that

129
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: there can be no vaccine mandates of any kind in

130
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: the state of Texas. It's kind of what I was

131
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: trying to advocate for with a different governor a while

132
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: ago when there was the conscience opt out that was

133
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: being discussed in the state of South Dakota. But corporate

134
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: interests prevailed there, as they tend to do in that state.

135
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: With that individual. Here we have Governor Abbott stepping up

136
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: and trying to do a little bit more about the situation,

137
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: and we'll address that. I'll address that in a second,

138
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: because first we have all these cancelations. Here's a situation.

139
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines, courting The Daily Mail, top executive says operations

140
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: are pretty well back to normal after the company was

141
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: forced to cancel more than twenty three hundred flights over

142
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: the holiday weekend, which it claims was the result of

143
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: FAA delay programs in Florida. Southwest CEO Gary Kelly apologized

144
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: to frustrated passengers. He was on Good Morning America. He was,

145
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: He denied the chaost was caused by pilots upset over

146
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: the vaccine mandates. As of nine am Easter Time Tuesday,

147
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: Southwest had canceled eighty seven flights, or two percent of

148
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: its daily operations, and delayed more than two one hundred

149
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: and forty. Federal Aviation Administration acknowledge delays in parts of Florida,

150
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: but pushback against Southwest air Traffic Control explanation it just

151
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: but the airline behind on Friday, Kelly said. The FAA

152
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: said Sunday some airlines were experiencing problems because planes and

153
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: crews were out of position. So who do we believe here?

154
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I find it very hard to believe that

155
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, one airline has two thousand flights

156
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: canceled in what is it, twenty three hundred flights canceled

157
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: in a forty eight hour period, just because because of

158
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: problems that still don't seem like they're able to be discussed.

159
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: But if these were pilots who were deciding on their own,

160
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: but in a collective action, right, so this wasn't a

161
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: part of the plan. Here wasn't to use the union

162
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: because there it's technically illegal, right, you can't actually strike

163
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: if you're a pilot in the union in this way.

164
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: So they didn't actually go through that, They didn't go

165
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: through that situation. Instead, they just did it on their own.

166
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: Assuming that's true, it would continue. Well, we'll have to

167
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: see what are the possibilities here play this one out.

168
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: You know that the apparatus of control absolutely does not

169
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: want people to realize that if they push back enough

170
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: and effectively enough, there could in fact be an end

171
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: to some of these mandates. That companies won't be able

172
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: to do the bidding of the Biden administration, not without

173
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: paying a price that's too high for them. So they

174
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: want to avoid people coming to that recognition. So what's

175
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: one way to do that, Well, to pretend that that's

176
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: not what's happened here and to say that that was

177
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: never the case, just to lie about it. That's one option,

178
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: which I know a lot of people on the right believe.

179
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Certainly seems like that's a likely scenario. Another option is

180
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: that there was a collective direct action here by pilots

181
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: and perhaps and others at Southwest Airlines that now has

182
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: been nipped in the bud. That now has been shut

183
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: down by Southwest executives who went out and reached out

184
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: to you know, the bosses, basically reached out to the

185
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: different pilots and said you're out. One more day, you're gone.

186
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: And maybe that I'm just saying, these are the possibilities.

187
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 1: That's certainly possible. And then the third possibility here is

188
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: that somehow this just happened to occur and it is

189
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: just a fluke and it has nothing to do with

190
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: the mandate of actually mandate, and all these pilots just

191
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: happened to be out at the same time on the

192
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: same day or whatever they're saying. It was some some

193
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: issue with air traffic control, which that just doesn't sound

194
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: realistic at all. Why didn't affect all the other flights?

195
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: Then all the other airlines some were having some delays,

196
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: but this amount of delay. So those are the options

197
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: as I see them, and I find it very hard

198
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: to believe that this just occurred. I'm finding it very

199
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: hard to believe that this was just a thing that

200
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: happened and there was nothing to do with a vaccine mandate.

201
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: But I do worry that they will crush this. And

202
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: then once again the Fauciite incrementalism will feel like it's unstoppable.

203
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: And what we're heading for, and I think you know

204
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: this as well as I do. What we're heading for

205
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: is this winter, there will be a mandate for you

206
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: to fly, a vaccine mandate for you to fly on

207
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: domestic flights. And they'll do it right before probably Thanksgiving

208
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: or maybe right before Christmas, because they know that that's

209
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: the time of year when a lot of people who

210
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: don't even fly very often will be flying to see

211
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: their families. And they'll say, sorry, you gotta do it.

212
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: That's what the science demands. That's what they'll say. That's

213
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: what they'll do. And I think we can all understand

214
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: why that's troublesome to say the least, and something we

215
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: should fight back against. But I'm just not really sure

216
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: if we're going to be able to do it effectively enough.

217
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 1: We'll come back to this in a moment. The Tunneled

218
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Towers Foundation helps us keep our commitment to never forget over.

219
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: This year, the foundation honored GoldStar and fallen first responder

220
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: families with young children and catastrophically injured veterans and first

221
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: responders with two hundred mortgage free homes. Chairman and CEO

222
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: Frank Siller paid tribute to the fallen by walking from

223
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: the Pentagon to Shanksill and then on to Ground zero.

224
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: This is more than five hundred miles. We went through

225
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: six states over forty two days starting in August, all

226
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: the way through nine to eleven. There were towers of

227
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: light shining at the Pentagon and Shanks for memorials. In

228
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: remembrance on Veterans Day, the names we lost in the

229
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: War on Terror will also be said out loud, do

230
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: good and help America to never forget, never forget our heroes.

231
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: Donate eleven dollars a month to tunnel to towers at

232
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: t twot dot org. That's t the number two t

233
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: dot org. T twot dot org. So Texas has an

234
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: anti mandate mandate. That's where we are now, thanks to

235
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: the Governor of Texas. And this is gonna raise a

236
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: lot of interesting issues. Legal challenges are coming for the

237
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: of course. Here's the situation. This from the Washington Post.

238
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Oh, whoops, well, we don't have

239
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: to use the Post. We'll use somebody else here. Texas

240
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: Governor Greg Abbott bans any COVID vaccine mandate including for

241
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: private employers. This Texas Tribune banning any entity, including private business,

242
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: from requiring vaccination for employees or customers. Abbott also called

243
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: on legislature to pass a law at the same effect,

244
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: promising to rescind the executive order once that happened. The

245
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: legislature is in this year's third special legislative session, which

246
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: which ends October nineteenth, so he's saying the order mark,

247
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: or rather this piece is saying the order marks a

248
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: significant reversal after Abbott previously gave private businesses the choice

249
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: to mandate vaccines for workers, so he stepped it up

250
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: in response to the federal government's overreach. He has stepped

251
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: it up and said that he believes this is the

252
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: right the right move, especially given the fact that Biden

253
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: administrations coming for everybody now, at least everybody with over

254
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: one hundred employees. If you remember that previous mandate that

255
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: they had and or rather roll out that they had,

256
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: they haven't really instituted it yet. So this will be

257
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: interesting because you do have some people on the right,

258
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: including Dan Crenshaw here, remember a congress former Navy seal,

259
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: who don't like the way Abbot is going about this.

260
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Look I hate that we have to play this game. Right,

261
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: this isn't the right way to govern. Go to go

262
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: from mandate to mandate against a mandate, it's not the

263
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: right way to govern. I still generally believe in this

264
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: whole freedom of association principle, where you can associate with

265
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: people you want to associate with as an employer, as

266
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: an employee. But here's the thing. The federal government already

267
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: took that first step, and they're still in the process

268
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: of writing the rule under OSHA that would require businesses

269
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: to vaccinate their employees or have them fired. Right, this

270
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: is an absurd rule. This is such an overreach, it's unconstitutional.

271
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: And so these reactions are seeing from the states are well,

272
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: they're a reaction to that overstep in the first place.

273
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: I think he is accurate, but I would disagree with

274
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: his sense that this is something we have to be

275
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: that we should be concerned when states stand up for

276
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: individual freedom. I actually think that that is a role

277
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: the states should play against the federal government, especially in

278
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: moments of overreach. And this idea, this takes me back

279
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: to the conservatism, if you will, the mainstream conservatism of

280
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: the nineties and the early two thousands where people would assume, oh,

281
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: we'll just keep the government out of it, and then

282
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: that's the best that's the best outcome. Well, that's not

283
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: how it works. Right now. Anywhere, the government, whether it's

284
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: at the state or local or federal level, has all

285
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: kinds of regulations about business, about commerce that are in effect.

286
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: So there is no protection of the sacred neutral space

287
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: of commerce that is going on right now. That's a fantasy, right,

288
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: We can't do that because you know, we shouldn't be

289
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: mandating against a mandate. There are all kinds of mandates

290
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: in place. Just look at look at the regulations that

291
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: exist even in the state of Texas for businesses to

292
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: operate safely for the taxes that are taken from them

293
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: for the licensing there. I could sit here and just

294
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: read through thousands of pages probably of different regulations and

295
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: mandates and things that exist that affect businesses right now

296
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: in the state of Texas, in any state. So it's

297
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: a question of should a state use its power to

298
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: protect individual freedom and autonomy. That's not tyranny, that's protecting freedom. Conservatives,

299
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: I think, or people on the right in general, can

300
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: get this a little bit confused. They think we're protecting

301
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: the sacred neutral space. You see this in the realm

302
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: of education as well, where we had thought, oh, we'll

303
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: just teach history, not history that likes America or hates America,

304
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: just teach history. Well, history is not mathematics. There's always

305
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: going to be some narrative, and so you might want

306
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: to be actually involved in understanding what the narrative is

307
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: that children are being taught. You might want to be

308
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: involved in learning what it is that kids are being

309
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: brainwashed with and try to push it away from hating

310
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: America toward a fuller better understanding of this country that

311
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: understands the blessings and the incredible nation that has been

312
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: bequeathed to us by our forefathers. But see, we thought

313
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: we could have a neutral space. That's not really a

314
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: thing that exists, and we think we can have a

315
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: totally free market. Maybe if we just avoid government overreach

316
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: that is also a thing that does not exist. I tried,

317
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: some of you, remember, I tried to get at least

318
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: one state to go and start taking affirmative steps, start

319
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: taking action in defense or freedom instead of being passive

320
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: and waiting for the faucy steamroller to crush everybody in

321
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: every state. And what do the federal government do. They

322
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: revvd up the faucy steamroller, just like I said they would.

323
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: And now Governor Abbott has realized this and goes, okay, well,

324
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: let's have a state mandate against the mandate. You might say, well,

325
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: buck the federal government, supremacy clause, all the stuff. Okay,

326
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: let's take it to the courts. But at least then

327
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: you're giving some cover for people in that state to

328
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: avoid getting the shots. He friends, time is everything here.

329
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: Time is everything. If the shot gets into the arms

330
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: of people who don't want it, that's done. Now they've

331
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: bent the NAT they've gotten the shot. So delay is

332
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: your friend here. Using the process to protect freedom is

333
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: your friend. At some level, we have to start understanding

334
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: tactics because the other side abuses the system for tactical

335
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: advantage all the time. Notice I'm not saying break the system,

336
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: but let's use it for our States have tremendous power

337
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: over individuals, and when you look at their health, tremendous

338
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: power left to them. Right, the federal government really doesn't.

339
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: But states under quarantine authority and under all kinds of regulations,

340
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the states can do a lot of things.

341
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: If they choose to and if they choose to protect

342
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: individual freedom from a vaccine, that is a thing to

343
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: be celebrated. It's not a thing to sit around and say, oh,

344
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: but that's too much government. Oh it's it's too much

345
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: government when it comes to defending freedom. But those same people,

346
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: you'll notice, aren't saying, well, we should we should have

347
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, no rules about how businesses conduct themselves other

348
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: than just the enforcement of basic contracts with each other.

349
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: No regulations whatsoever about you know, how long people can work,

350
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: or minimum wage or anything else. Right, why don't we

351
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: have minimum wage laws in these states? You might say, oh, buckle,

352
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: that's an infringement. Okay, but I like to live in

353
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: the real world, and the real world you can either

354
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: use power to protect the individuals and they're freedom, or

355
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: you can allow the authoritarian left to crush them under

356
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: the Fauci steamroller. That's really where the debate is right now.

357
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: So I think Governor Abbott is doing the right thing,

358
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: even if he does get overruled. Now, I want to

359
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: tell you about this piece in than Delhi Wire. This

360
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: was stunning. Luke Rosiak is the author here Dliwire dot

361
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: com and hat tip to Luke Rosiac for this one.

362
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: On June twenty second, Scott Smith was arrested at a

363
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: Loudon County, Virginia school board meeting, a meeting that was

364
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: ultimately deemed an unlawful assembly after many attendees vocally opposed

365
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: a policy on transgender students. What people did not know

366
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: is that weeks prior, on May twenty eighth, Smith says

367
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: a boy allegedly wearing a skirt entered a girl's bathroom

368
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: at nearby stone Bridge High School, where he sexually assaulted

369
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: Smith's ninth grade daughter. Juvenile records are sealed, but Smith's attorney,

370
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Lancaster, told The Daily Wire that a boy was

371
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: charged with two counts of forcible sodomy, one count of

372
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: anal sonomy, one count of forcible fallatio related to an

373
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: incident that day at that school. If someone would have

374
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: sat and listened for thirty seconds to what Scott had said,

375
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: they would have been mortified and heartbroken, Scott's attorney said.

376
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: As a result of the viral video showing his arret,

377
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: Smith became the poster child for the National School Board

378
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: Association had since suggested could be a form of domestic terrorism,

379
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: a white blue collar mail who showed up to harangue

380
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: obscure public servants on his local school board. If someone

381
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 1: would have sat and listened for thirty seconds, they would

382
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: have I read that to a second ago would have

383
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: been mortified and heartbroken. Minutes before Smith's arrest, the Loudon

384
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: County Public Schools superintendent lectured the public that concerns about

385
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: the transgender policy were misplaced because the school system had

386
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: no record of any assault occurring in any school bathroom.

387
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: And quote, friends, this is what you get with the

388
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: woke left. They humiliated his father whose daughter was sexually assaulted.

389
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: They humiliated him for trying to speak out about the

390
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 1: sexual assault. And then you had school officials pretending that

391
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: there had never been a sexual assault by a trans individual,

392
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: a trans teenager, using the policies, using this, you know,

393
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: using this trans bathroom situation in order to have easy

394
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: access to an assault a young girl. This is what

395
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: wokeness does to people. It corrupts and corrodes their soul.

396
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: It destroys their sense of basic morality and decency. The

397
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: cause becomes more important than the than the individuals that

398
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: are destroyed or harmed by it. You know, they don't

399
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: care what the end result is. They care that they

400
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: are for any individual, they care what they're getting as

401
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: a collective. And so because this went against the narrative,

402
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: they covered it up, because this was a story that

403
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: did not go along with the we all have a

404
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: there's a trans agenda here for bathroom use policy that

405
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: is just totally fine and there's no concerns and anyone

406
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: who has any issues with this is a bigot. That's

407
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: the narrative. Turns out that's not true. We've known that's

408
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: not true. Now we have proof, and they're willing to

409
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: cover up the sexual assault of a young girl in

410
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: order to get their way when it comes to policy.

411
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: This is the Left that you're dealing with. Do not

412
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: forget it. They are They're insidious. They're insidious. They will

413
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: do evil things and think themselves brave in the process,

414
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: think that they're making the better decision. It's a noble

415
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: a noble evil that they believe they do by covering

416
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: up a story like this, or by making sure that

417
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: people don't jump to the wrong conclusions about the entire

418
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: trans agenda because of one incident. Yes, the Left likes

419
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: to make those kinds of calculations for you. I say,

420
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: we should all be exposed to the truth and be

421
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: able to speak the truth. And that's the society that

422
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: we should live in. Anyway. Hatch up the Deli Wire

423
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: for their reporting on this one. Really incredible, harrowing, well

424
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: harrowing story. Good journalism by Luca Rosiak here. Oh and

425
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: I'd mentioned this just to close us out today. Kamala Harris,

426
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen the video where she's pretending to

427
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: be a normal, nice person with kids. They hired child

428
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: actors so it could all look so so nice and

429
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: normal when Kamas talking about, oh my gosh, when you

430
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: see the craters on the moon, it's just amazing to

431
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: see the craters on the moon, and the kids are

432
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: all yay. But the kids are actors, and Kamala is

433
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: just not likable. And the Democrats are gonna try and

434
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: try because the Democrat elites, the Democrats who write big

435
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 1: checks to NGOs and live in mansions and live in

436
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, brownstones in Brooklyn or haciendas in Malibu or whatever,

437
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: they think that this is their candidate. They just have

438
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: to find the way to sell her to the American

439
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: people for the next election and it's not gonna work.

440
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: It's not gonna work that much, I can tell you.

441
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna close out the show today with that, my friends,
