48
00:02:51,177 --> 00:02:53,257
Speaker 1: let's get into it. So what happened today with inflation?

49
00:02:54,577 --> 00:02:58,497
Speaker 1: The short version is it's bad. It's bad. The data,

50
00:02:58,737 --> 00:03:03,337
Speaker 1: if Fauci was an economist, shows that the country is

51
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:08,297
Speaker 1: suffering and inflation is high. It is. In fact, inflation

52
00:03:08,457 --> 00:03:12,137
Speaker 1: is still at eight point two percent. It is the

53
00:03:12,217 --> 00:03:15,737
Speaker 1: highest mortgage rates you're seeing right now in twenty years,

54
00:03:16,457 --> 00:03:20,937
Speaker 1: and you've got prices excluding energy and food rose six

55
00:03:20,977 --> 00:03:23,137
Speaker 1: point six percent year over year. This is a mess

56
00:03:23,737 --> 00:03:26,377
Speaker 1: for the lips put simply a mess. They know this.

57
00:03:27,417 --> 00:03:29,137
Speaker 1: What are they going to say about it? What they

58
00:03:29,177 --> 00:03:32,697
Speaker 1: what they want just to understand for everybody. What they

59
00:03:32,737 --> 00:03:36,537
Speaker 1: want to do is to tell you, hey, we had

60
00:03:36,577 --> 00:03:39,417
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this, This is just you know,

61
00:03:39,457 --> 00:03:42,017
Speaker 1: the way the economy functions. Man, It's just like big

62
00:03:42,097 --> 00:03:44,537
Speaker 1: numbers and stuff. They don't want people to say, hold

63
00:03:44,537 --> 00:03:48,497
Speaker 1: on a second. The Republicans have been saying, don't spend

64
00:03:48,537 --> 00:03:50,817
Speaker 1: that much money, that's crazy, and Democrats have said, well,

65
00:03:50,817 --> 00:03:54,977
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend all the money, and they did. And

66
00:03:55,057 --> 00:03:58,657
Speaker 1: the bad thing that we said what happened, inflation is happening.

67
00:03:59,297 --> 00:04:01,377
Speaker 1: So you know, if it's as though we were telling

68
00:04:01,417 --> 00:04:05,457
Speaker 1: the Democrats, hey, please don't we're all on this boat together,

69
00:04:05,937 --> 00:04:08,137
Speaker 1: please don't poke holes in the side of the boat.

70
00:04:08,137 --> 00:04:09,697
Speaker 1: And they're like, I got an idea. I'm gonna poke

71
00:04:09,737 --> 00:04:11,657
Speaker 1: holes in the side of the boat. And then it

72
00:04:11,737 --> 00:04:14,217
Speaker 1: starts sinking. And then look at us. They're like, why

73
00:04:14,337 --> 00:04:17,737
Speaker 1: is the boat sinking? And we say, because you poked

74
00:04:17,777 --> 00:04:19,937
Speaker 1: holes in it, which is why we told you, you morons.

75
00:04:19,937 --> 00:04:23,937
Speaker 1: And this is exactly that is inflation right now summarized

76
00:04:24,017 --> 00:04:28,297
Speaker 1: for you. That is the reality of inflation. And the

77
00:04:28,337 --> 00:04:31,257
Speaker 1: Democrats roll in it today. We all see it, we

78
00:04:31,337 --> 00:04:34,417
Speaker 1: all know it. And now I guess the best they

79
00:04:34,417 --> 00:04:38,577
Speaker 1: can do is, oh, here you go, Brian Deese, who

80
00:04:38,737 --> 00:04:44,177
Speaker 1: is there? The bagdad Bob of the administration's economic policies.

81
00:04:45,137 --> 00:04:48,217
Speaker 1: Here he is saying, our policies are making the difference.

82
00:04:48,217 --> 00:04:50,737
Speaker 1: You're there, buddy. Prices are too high. But the message

83
00:04:50,737 --> 00:04:52,617
Speaker 1: the president is delivering is that you have a president

84
00:04:52,617 --> 00:04:56,097
Speaker 1: administration that's waking up every day trying to address that

85
00:04:56,177 --> 00:04:58,577
Speaker 1: problem head on. And we are making progress. We are

86
00:04:58,657 --> 00:05:01,617
Speaker 1: making progress on energy prices. We are making progress. We

87
00:05:01,817 --> 00:05:04,457
Speaker 1: just have to stay at it. And so we have

88
00:05:04,657 --> 00:05:07,097
Speaker 1: policies that are going to make a difference. We have

89
00:05:07,137 --> 00:05:09,417
Speaker 1: policies that have already made a difference. We just have

90
00:05:09,457 --> 00:05:11,897
Speaker 1: to stay the Oh they've made a difference, all right,

91
00:05:12,497 --> 00:05:18,057
Speaker 1: made everything more expensive. There's the difference. Who we've seen it. No,

92
00:05:18,377 --> 00:05:21,617
Speaker 1: anytime you hear about administration, officials say there's still work

93
00:05:21,697 --> 00:05:24,097
Speaker 1: to do. We've made progress, but there's still work to do.

94
00:05:24,137 --> 00:05:29,017
Speaker 1: Anything like that. That is their way of admitting, yeah,

95
00:05:29,177 --> 00:05:31,377
Speaker 1: we suck at this, but we don't want to we

96
00:05:31,377 --> 00:05:34,017
Speaker 1: don't want to say that out loud. So we're just

97
00:05:34,057 --> 00:05:37,937
Speaker 1: gonna come up with something else. They're just gonna come

98
00:05:38,017 --> 00:05:40,817
Speaker 1: up with some other way to tell you about all

99
00:05:40,857 --> 00:05:43,657
Speaker 1: this stuff. It is madness, folks. And so then that

100
00:05:43,697 --> 00:05:46,457
Speaker 1: brings me to the January sixth, the end so funny.

101
00:05:46,497 --> 00:05:50,057
Speaker 1: They call it the insurrection investigation over at CNN. At

102
00:05:50,097 --> 00:05:53,577
Speaker 1: Fox they called the riot, you know, the January sixth riot. Yeah,

103
00:05:53,577 --> 00:05:57,537
Speaker 1: it was a riot, Okay, bad Idea didn't like it.

104
00:05:57,817 --> 00:06:00,657
Speaker 1: Day one thought it was bad, said so at the time,

105
00:06:01,097 --> 00:06:03,537
Speaker 1: it's not an insurrection. We all know that. Only moron

106
00:06:03,577 --> 00:06:07,457
Speaker 1: say it's an insurrection LEXNN. But the funny part about

107
00:06:07,457 --> 00:06:09,737
Speaker 1: this is that they really think they're gonna subpoena Trump.

108
00:06:10,817 --> 00:06:12,897
Speaker 1: This is this is the big story, the big reveal today,

109
00:06:12,897 --> 00:06:16,657
Speaker 1: because honestly, season five or whatever this is of Chan

110
00:06:16,777 --> 00:06:19,617
Speaker 1: six Insurrection just not really getting it done for me.

111
00:06:19,657 --> 00:06:22,617
Speaker 1: The acting is a little subpar, the writing, a little slow,

112
00:06:22,737 --> 00:06:25,817
Speaker 1: visual effects. I gotta say, I could not put this

113
00:06:25,897 --> 00:06:29,137
Speaker 1: on my recommended list on Netflix. It's just not very interesting, folks,

114
00:06:29,177 --> 00:06:34,697
Speaker 1: not very good. It's an obvious distraction from what's actually

115
00:06:34,697 --> 00:06:38,377
Speaker 1: happening to people, which is they're getting poorer. Democrats have

116
00:06:38,457 --> 00:06:41,177
Speaker 1: made you poorer, less free, and more miserable as a country.

117
00:06:41,217 --> 00:06:45,097
Speaker 1: That's what they've been able to do. Oh and more unsafe,

118
00:06:46,297 --> 00:06:48,137
Speaker 1: and they now try to run from that too. On

119
00:06:48,377 --> 00:06:51,137
Speaker 1: the crime issue, they're realizing, oh, it turns out letting

120
00:06:51,137 --> 00:06:54,897
Speaker 1: all the criminals free and not punishing criminals is bad

121
00:06:54,937 --> 00:06:58,337
Speaker 1: for public safety. What goes up must come down. These

122
00:06:58,337 --> 00:07:03,297
Speaker 1: are the most obvious things, you know in our reality.

123
00:07:03,457 --> 00:07:05,977
Speaker 1: These things are as obvious as the existence of gravity.

124
00:07:06,017 --> 00:07:09,297
Speaker 1: But Democrats, we gotta gotta make some trade offs. They

125
00:07:09,297 --> 00:07:12,297
Speaker 1: figured there's no just bad. The only trade off is

126
00:07:12,297 --> 00:07:14,217
Speaker 1: that they get power by lying to people about what

127
00:07:14,257 --> 00:07:18,297
Speaker 1: will happen. That is the fundamental Democrat tradeoff. We say,

128
00:07:18,337 --> 00:07:20,617
Speaker 1: you're just going to make everything worse for everybody. They say, well,

129
00:07:20,697 --> 00:07:22,337
Speaker 1: but we'll lie to people and then will be in power.

130
00:07:22,417 --> 00:07:26,257
Speaker 1: That's it what they did on criminal justice. You know

131
00:07:26,337 --> 00:07:30,097
Speaker 1: I'm right, that's why you're watching or listening. There's no

132
00:07:30,137 --> 00:07:32,897
Speaker 1: sign of identity theft slowing down, and why should it.

133
00:07:33,017 --> 00:07:36,537
Speaker 1: More than fourteen billion dollars were stolen from identity theft

134
00:07:36,617 --> 00:07:39,977
Speaker 1: victims last year alone. Cyber criminals. It's a big success

135
00:07:39,977 --> 00:07:41,417
Speaker 1: for them. Right for the rest of us, it is

136
00:07:41,417 --> 00:07:44,297
Speaker 1: a nightmare, a huge headache. It's so easy for the

137
00:07:44,337 --> 00:07:48,057
Speaker 1: bad guys to steal your identity online, but LifeLock by

138
00:07:48,097 --> 00:07:51,257
Speaker 1: Norton makes it easy to help protect yourself by monitoring

139
00:07:51,257 --> 00:07:53,337

140
00:07:53,377 --> 00:07:55,617
Speaker 1: miss on your own. If you become a victim of

141
00:07:55,617 --> 00:07:59,737
Speaker 1: identity theft, a US based LifeLock restoration specialist will be

142
00:07:59,777 --> 00:08:01,937
Speaker 1: dedicated to your case and work to fix it. Now,

143
00:08:02,017 --> 00:08:04,297
Speaker 1: no one can prevent all identity theft or monitor all

144
00:08:04,337 --> 00:08:08,297
Speaker 1: transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock by Norton makes it

145
00:08:08,337 --> 00:08:11,337
Speaker 1: easy to help protect yourself off save up at twenty

146

Speaker 1: five percent off your first year by going to LifeLock

147
00:08:14,257 --> 00:08:17,817
Speaker 1: dot com slash buck. That's LifeLock dot com slash buck

148
00:08:17,857 --> 00:08:20,577
Speaker 1: for twenty five percent off. I tell my family, I

149
00:08:20,617 --> 00:08:23,697
Speaker 1: tell everybody, you got to have LifeLock. You just, you know,

150
00:08:24,257 --> 00:08:27,177
Speaker 1: otherwise you find out about this when your identity has

151
00:08:27,177 --> 00:08:30,097
Speaker 1: already been stolen on God knows what's happening. LifeLock. They're

152
00:08:30,097 --> 00:08:32,017
Speaker 1: watching out for you. And then if you have a problem,

153
00:08:32,057 --> 00:08:34,497
Speaker 1: it's almost like you got an insurance policy of sorts

154
00:08:34,497 --> 00:08:37,097
Speaker 1: because they'll come and help you deal with that problem.

155
00:08:37,457 --> 00:08:39,017
Speaker 1: And I've had to have them help me deal with

156
00:08:39,017 --> 00:08:44,577
Speaker 1: it before, so it's really really worthwhile. We have Oh my,

157
00:08:44,697 --> 00:08:49,257
Speaker 1: what else do I? Oh? Biden? Not a joke, Not

158
00:08:49,297 --> 00:08:52,017
Speaker 1: a joke. I mean, the economy is kind of a

159
00:08:52,097 --> 00:08:55,377
Speaker 1: joke these days, but it's not a funny one. The

160
00:08:56,057 --> 00:09:01,617
Speaker 1: Biden administration try to get the South East to hold

161
00:09:01,657 --> 00:09:07,297
Speaker 1: back on dropping two million barrels a day of output.

162
00:09:07,817 --> 00:09:09,617
Speaker 1: They try to get them to hold back on that

163
00:09:10,337 --> 00:09:14,697
Speaker 1: until after the election. So not in some bringing you know,

164
00:09:14,737 --> 00:09:18,337
Speaker 1: the they're not actually caring about the big picture here.

165
00:09:18,737 --> 00:09:21,937
Speaker 1: This is just what is in the short term political

166
00:09:21,937 --> 00:09:25,817
Speaker 1: interests of Democrat All that matters. All that matters, Okay.

167
00:09:26,337 --> 00:09:28,497
Speaker 1: So then they when they are pushed on this, the

168
00:09:28,577 --> 00:09:31,857
Speaker 1: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia put out an official letter and

169
00:09:32,097 --> 00:09:35,617
Speaker 1: with like the like the palm tree and the swords

170
00:09:35,657 --> 00:09:39,177
Speaker 1: and stuff, you know, saud eat stuff, And they put

171
00:09:39,177 --> 00:09:42,657
Speaker 1: out an official letter that said, hey, look, we know

172
00:09:42,857 --> 00:09:45,977
Speaker 1: that you guys in the Biden White House I'm paraphrasing

173
00:09:46,017 --> 00:09:49,057
Speaker 1: here asked us to delay this a month, but we

174
00:09:49,097 --> 00:09:50,977
Speaker 1: don't think it's in the overall economic interest of the

175
00:09:50,977 --> 00:09:54,497
Speaker 1: market to do so. So sorry. Now they didn't want

176
00:09:54,537 --> 00:09:56,097
Speaker 1: this to come out. This is a this is a

177
00:09:56,217 --> 00:10:00,777
Speaker 1: backhand to the Biden regime. This is you know, this

178
00:10:00,897 --> 00:10:04,337
Speaker 1: is definitely showing them that there's not a lot of

179
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:09,977
Speaker 1: respect from the Saudi Saudi regime, Saudi monarchy such a

180
00:10:10,057 --> 00:10:14,537
Speaker 1: as it is for Biden and company. And he is.

181
00:10:14,617 --> 00:10:18,697
Speaker 1: Here's an example of a reporter. This guy's actually doing

182
00:10:18,737 --> 00:10:20,937
Speaker 1: a really good job talking to Brian again the bad

183
00:10:21,017 --> 00:10:24,257
Speaker 1: Dad Bob of Biden's economic policies. As guy D's a

184
00:10:24,377 --> 00:10:27,777
Speaker 1: reporter drills down on this question of did you ask

185
00:10:27,817 --> 00:10:30,297
Speaker 1: the Saudis to basically fudge the numbers on the price

186
00:10:30,337 --> 00:10:33,457
Speaker 1: of gas just before the election for the most obvious reason,

187
00:10:33,537 --> 00:10:35,937
Speaker 1: just so people think, oh, maybe Biden's not such a moron?

188
00:10:36,377 --> 00:10:38,817
Speaker 1: And is that what happened? Here's how that went, Brian.

189
00:10:38,857 --> 00:10:42,697
Speaker 1: The Saudis themselves said this morning that the US requested

190
00:10:42,737 --> 00:10:45,017
Speaker 1: a one month delay to the OPEC plus output. I

191
00:10:45,057 --> 00:10:46,817
Speaker 1: wonder why that would be, Brian, Can you tell me

192
00:10:46,857 --> 00:10:49,017
Speaker 1: whether you did ask the Saudis for a one month

193
00:10:49,137 --> 00:10:52,097
Speaker 1: delay to that decision? Are they telling the truth? Look,

194
00:10:52,097 --> 00:10:55,537
Speaker 1: we clearly communicated our views to OPEC members that we

195
00:10:55,537 --> 00:10:58,337
Speaker 1: thought it was shortsighted for them to take the action

196
00:10:58,377 --> 00:11:01,177
Speaker 1: that they were contemplating, and they announced ran you didn't

197
00:11:01,177 --> 00:11:02,897
Speaker 1: ask the question, So I'm going to ask it again.

198
00:11:03,137 --> 00:11:06,417
Speaker 1: Did you ask the Saudis to delay that decision for

199
00:11:06,457 --> 00:11:08,817
Speaker 1: a month? Are they telling the truth or not? Look,

200
00:11:08,857 --> 00:11:11,297
Speaker 1: I'm not going to I'm not going to get on

201
00:11:11,897 --> 00:11:17,097
Speaker 1: air and disclose private conversations that the Opportunity societ is

202
00:11:17,097 --> 00:11:18,857
Speaker 1: true or not. Is it true or not? What I

203
00:11:18,897 --> 00:11:21,137
Speaker 1: will say, what I will say. What I will say

204
00:11:21,137 --> 00:11:24,577
Speaker 1: clearly is that the communications that we've had WIVOPEC members

205
00:11:24,577 --> 00:11:27,817
Speaker 1: and continuing have been based on our assessment of the

206
00:11:27,857 --> 00:11:32,697
Speaker 1: economic circumstances of supply and demanding global oil markets. Ah,

207
00:11:34,137 --> 00:11:37,097
Speaker 1: that's yes. By the way, we all know that that's

208
00:11:37,177 --> 00:11:40,337
Speaker 1: very obvious what's going on here. He's cornered and just

209
00:11:40,377 --> 00:11:42,657
Speaker 1: doesn't want to take the political hit for his side

210
00:11:42,697 --> 00:11:45,577
Speaker 1: of saying, yeah, we basically told the Saudi's keep pumping

211
00:11:45,577 --> 00:11:49,177
Speaker 1: out that oil, don't make any change until after the election.

212
00:11:49,217 --> 00:11:52,097
Speaker 1: If they wanted to say, keep pumping that oil as

213
00:11:52,137 --> 00:11:54,057
Speaker 1: far as the eye can see, I'd say, oh, maybe

214
00:11:54,057 --> 00:11:57,097
Speaker 1: they're making a macroeconomic push here. They realize fossil fuels

215
00:11:57,177 --> 00:11:59,097
Speaker 1: or the lifeblood of the economy. Oh no, no, no,

216
00:11:59,177 --> 00:12:02,617
Speaker 1: it was just a little delay, fudge, fudge the schedule

217
00:12:02,657 --> 00:12:05,777
Speaker 1: a little bit to help the Libs. Didn't work out

218
00:12:05,777 --> 00:12:07,817
Speaker 1: for them the way they thought it would. Now people

219
00:12:07,897 --> 00:12:12,137
Speaker 1: know there's desperation. There's desperation, and there's also just no

220
00:12:12,217 --> 00:12:17,657
Speaker 1: respect for this. This Biden regime, that's for sure. John

221
00:12:17,697 --> 00:12:20,097
Speaker 1: Fetterman is running, as we discussed yesterday on the show,

222
00:12:20,257 --> 00:12:24,337
Speaker 1: and it's putting people in this very odd position of

223
00:12:24,977 --> 00:12:28,017
Speaker 1: having talked about a guy who had a stroke and

224
00:12:28,737 --> 00:12:33,017
Speaker 1: point out that he is incapacitated still by this stroke

225
00:12:33,137 --> 00:12:37,097
Speaker 1: and therefore should not even be considered a possible candidate,

226
00:12:37,417 --> 00:12:40,297
Speaker 1: certainly in this cycle for the United States Senate. But

227
00:12:40,417 --> 00:12:42,897
Speaker 1: Democrats are power hungry and ruthless, so they just do

228
00:12:42,977 --> 00:12:47,297
Speaker 1: not care. So we are all supposed to avoid observing

229
00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:51,897
Speaker 1: what is playing for anyone to see. That's that's the

230
00:12:52,017 --> 00:12:54,977
Speaker 1: game here, right, You're just not I don't see anything.

231
00:12:56,057 --> 00:13:03,177
Speaker 1: Trevor Noah, the just deeply unfunny comedian, handed a platform

232
00:13:03,257 --> 00:13:06,577
Speaker 1: that was massively successful and turned it into a total nothing.

233
00:13:08,337 --> 00:13:11,217
Speaker 1: He had the Well, he's not the only one who's

234
00:13:11,217 --> 00:13:13,697
Speaker 1: saying this. There's this move on the left. The Democrats

235
00:13:13,697 --> 00:13:16,337
Speaker 1: are trying to make it seem like having a stroke

236
00:13:16,457 --> 00:13:22,977
Speaker 1: and then having cognition issues is somehow similar to a person,

237
00:13:23,097 --> 00:13:27,697
Speaker 1: let's say, losing their limb in warfare from enemy action.

238
00:13:28,257 --> 00:13:31,537
Speaker 1: Here's Trevor Noah. I'm not vouching for phetom and over

239
00:13:31,657 --> 00:13:33,697
Speaker 1: doctor Os or anything like that, but I do think

240
00:13:33,737 --> 00:13:36,737
Speaker 1: this whole debate is veering into the territory of saying

241
00:13:36,737 --> 00:13:40,057
Speaker 1: that people with disabilities cannot be lawmakers, which is trash,

242
00:13:40,377 --> 00:13:44,177
Speaker 1: all right, especially since America already has disabled lawmakers serving

243
00:13:44,257 --> 00:13:50,097
Speaker 1: right now. It shouldn't even spotified. Dan Crenshaw is missing

244
00:13:50,097 --> 00:13:53,457
Speaker 1: an eye, Tammy Duckworth lost both her legs, right, and

245
00:13:53,537 --> 00:13:58,857
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell he's literally melting all the time. Okay, this

246
00:13:59,097 --> 00:14:03,017
Speaker 1: is so transparently stupid as an argument that it's it

247
00:14:03,177 --> 00:14:05,137
Speaker 1: feels like a frustrating waste of time to even But

248
00:14:05,177 --> 00:14:09,257
Speaker 1: there are others who are saying this too. Having issues

249
00:14:09,297 --> 00:14:13,497
Speaker 1: of mental nission, as in not being able to process information,

250
00:14:13,897 --> 00:14:16,817
Speaker 1: not having all your faculties of judgment and decision making

251
00:14:17,377 --> 00:14:22,937
Speaker 1: functioning is different from losing a leg or an eye

252
00:14:23,097 --> 00:14:29,257
Speaker 1: to enemy action. Obviously, obviously, But you see, they're they're

253
00:14:29,297 --> 00:14:32,657
Speaker 1: desperate and be and as a result of that desperation,

254
00:14:33,057 --> 00:14:35,617
Speaker 1: they're making arguments that they have to know at some

255
00:14:35,777 --> 00:14:44,137
Speaker 1: level are flimsy, absurd, obtuse, idiotic. They don't care. All

256
00:14:44,137 --> 00:14:47,457
Speaker 1: they care about is will this serve the purpose of

257
00:14:47,737 --> 00:14:50,897
Speaker 1: running out the clock on this Fetterman election so that

258
00:14:50,897 --> 00:14:54,777
Speaker 1: people will just go I guess Fetterman's okay, he's still running. Sure,

259
00:14:54,857 --> 00:14:57,257
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem like he really is all there, and

260
00:14:57,257 --> 00:14:59,657
Speaker 1: he has to read off of a screen. But this

261
00:14:59,817 --> 00:15:02,417
Speaker 1: is what we are, what we are up against, This

262
00:15:02,457 --> 00:15:05,617
Speaker 1: is the reality of what we're dealing with, and everybody

263
00:15:05,617 --> 00:15:10,257
Speaker 1: should just be very aware. The other side they they

264
00:15:10,257 --> 00:15:13,737
Speaker 1: have no principles in this stuff. There's no principles. It

265
00:15:13,777 --> 00:15:15,377
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what they used to say and know what

266
00:15:15,417 --> 00:15:19,817
Speaker 1: they say now. Total contradiction, abandonment of common sense and reason,

267
00:15:20,257 --> 00:15:24,377
Speaker 1: just about power dynamics. Whatever works is what they will do.

268
00:15:24,537 --> 00:15:26,697
Speaker 1: Whatever works for them, not whatever's best for the country.

269
00:15:26,737 --> 00:15:30,977
Speaker 1: The country, the country's interests are irrelevant. The democrats ability

270
00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:33,377
Speaker 1: to be in charge of the country as all that matters,

271
00:15:34,017 --> 00:15:39,297
Speaker 1: to wield the apparatus of government, that's the single most

272
00:15:39,497 --> 00:15:49,657
Speaker 1: important thing to them. This was interesting. AOC was confronted

273
00:15:49,737 --> 00:15:54,137
Speaker 1: by shouting protesters. She had a bronx town hall event

274
00:15:55,417 --> 00:15:58,817
Speaker 1: for voting to send weapons to Ukraine, and I just

275
00:15:58,857 --> 00:16:03,017
Speaker 1: wanted to do these are these These are democrats who

276
00:16:03,417 --> 00:16:04,977
Speaker 1: didn't get the memo that you're not allowed as a

277
00:16:04,977 --> 00:16:09,257
Speaker 1: democrat all to criticize AOC. She's amazing, stunning and brave, fierce,

278
00:16:10,217 --> 00:16:13,457
Speaker 1: hashtag fear stunning, and brave. Um, you're not. You know,

279
00:16:13,497 --> 00:16:16,297
Speaker 1: she's a social media influencer who happens to be in Congress.

280
00:16:16,297 --> 00:16:19,777
Speaker 1: So you're not allowed to not allowed to point out

281
00:16:19,777 --> 00:16:23,417
Speaker 1: things like, Hey, isn't the left in this country supposed

282
00:16:23,417 --> 00:16:28,017
Speaker 1: to be opposed to war overseas? That's not in the

283
00:16:28,057 --> 00:16:31,017
Speaker 1: actual defense of the United States of America. Like I

284
00:16:31,057 --> 00:16:34,297
Speaker 1: thought they had a whole anti war peace movement. Ah.

285
00:16:34,337 --> 00:16:36,217
Speaker 1: Not when there's a Democrat in charge, though, and not

286
00:16:36,257 --> 00:16:39,857
Speaker 1: when the military industrial complex has major interests at stake.

287
00:16:40,017 --> 00:16:44,297
Speaker 1: Here are some Democrats given AOC some some rough stuff,

288
00:16:44,457 --> 00:16:48,297
Speaker 1: concress warmang. None of this natters unless there's a nuclear war,

289
00:16:48,617 --> 00:16:52,697
Speaker 1: which you voted to send arms and weapons in Ukraine, Hosya.

290
00:16:53,377 --> 00:16:57,217
Speaker 1: She's left the Democratic Party you originally voted. You ran

291
00:16:57,337 --> 00:17:00,977
Speaker 1: as an outsider. Yeah, you've been voting to start this war.

292
00:17:01,977 --> 00:17:10,057
Speaker 1: When you're voting to start there will be no neighbors.

293
00:17:10,217 --> 00:17:13,617
Speaker 1: Is a nuclear bomb you voted to mobilize and send

294
00:17:13,657 --> 00:17:18,737
Speaker 1: money for Ukrainian Nazis. You're a toward You have done nothing.

295
00:17:19,137 --> 00:17:23,137
Speaker 1: Tulsa Gathered has shown guts. Where are you shown toward? It?

296
00:17:23,257 --> 00:17:28,057
Speaker 1: Is okay? Now, obviously we've got some Tulsa fans in

297
00:17:28,097 --> 00:17:32,257
Speaker 1: the audience. There not big AOC fans. But if there's

298
00:17:32,337 --> 00:17:34,697
Speaker 1: one area where I think it's well, there are a

299
00:17:34,737 --> 00:17:36,497
Speaker 1: lot of them, but one area where it is very

300
00:17:36,537 --> 00:17:39,137
Speaker 1: easy to illustrate this point I make about how Democrats

301
00:17:39,217 --> 00:17:43,377
Speaker 1: are bereft of durable principle instead of situational principle. We

302
00:17:43,417 --> 00:17:45,457
Speaker 1: have a principle tomorrow it's gone, now it's back, depends

303
00:17:45,457 --> 00:17:48,657
Speaker 1: on what's best for them instead of having situational ethics.

304
00:17:50,217 --> 00:17:54,657
Speaker 1: What democrats do on the issue of war and peace

305
00:17:55,257 --> 00:17:58,257
Speaker 1: is a perfect example of this. They the anti war

306
00:17:58,417 --> 00:18:02,177
Speaker 1: movement disappears. The left wing anti war movement effectively doesn't

307
00:18:02,177 --> 00:18:07,097
Speaker 1: exist under Democrat presidents. It only exists under Republican presidents

308
00:18:07,137 --> 00:18:12,697
Speaker 1: as a tool of opposing that administration. This is you

309
00:18:12,777 --> 00:18:14,577
Speaker 1: play this out. I obviously with Bush, but then you

310
00:18:14,617 --> 00:18:19,137
Speaker 1: go to Obama. Obama escalated in Afghanistan, surge over one

311
00:18:19,177 --> 00:18:22,577
Speaker 1: hundred thousand troops, way way up from the number when

312
00:18:22,577 --> 00:18:28,017
Speaker 1: he came into office for what obviously didn't work that

313
00:18:28,057 --> 00:18:33,737
Speaker 1: whole Obama eight years in Afghanistan achieve nothing, nothing durable,

314
00:18:33,777 --> 00:18:37,297
Speaker 1: certainly because Taliban runs the country, so was there Where

315
00:18:37,377 --> 00:18:38,777
Speaker 1: was the anti war movement With all that, Where was

316
00:18:38,777 --> 00:18:41,537
Speaker 1: the anti war movement when Obama was having drone warfare

317
00:18:41,577 --> 00:18:44,417
Speaker 1: and blowing up a lot of people along the afpac

318
00:18:44,537 --> 00:18:47,977
Speaker 1: border area, including a lot of innocent civilians. There were

319
00:18:47,977 --> 00:18:49,417
Speaker 1: a couple of people here and there, By the way,

320
00:18:49,457 --> 00:18:52,857
Speaker 1: they've since the people who were willing to criticize Obama

321
00:18:53,017 --> 00:18:58,217
Speaker 1: over droning innocent civilians in the War on Terror, they've

322
00:18:58,217 --> 00:19:01,017
Speaker 1: all become Republicans basically, or I shouldn't say republicans, they've

323
00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:06,057
Speaker 1: all become refugees from the Democrat Party. They have all

324
00:19:06,137 --> 00:19:08,937
Speaker 1: left the Democrat Party no longer wish to be a

325
00:19:09,017 --> 00:19:13,257
Speaker 1: part of that. I think that that says a lot.

326
00:19:15,297 --> 00:19:17,577
Speaker 1: I think it does say a lot. Here is Tulsi,

327
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:19,657
Speaker 1: by the way, since she's been making so many headlines

328
00:19:19,697 --> 00:19:22,937
Speaker 1: this week, saying, if you go against Hillary Clinton the

329
00:19:22,977 --> 00:19:29,617
Speaker 1: Democrat Elites, your political future in the Democrat Party is over.

330
00:19:30,017 --> 00:19:34,217
Speaker 1: I think that the Democratic Party leaders, people like Hillary Clinton,

331
00:19:34,337 --> 00:19:36,617
Speaker 1: people who've been in charge for a very long time,

332
00:19:37,137 --> 00:19:41,097
Speaker 1: foment this kind of culture of fear and like, hey,

333
00:19:41,097 --> 00:19:43,617
Speaker 1: if you go against us, like you're dead, you're on

334
00:19:43,657 --> 00:19:47,817
Speaker 1: the list. You have kind of the very loud activists

335
00:19:47,857 --> 00:19:50,097
Speaker 1: and the who don't represent I think even the majority

336
00:19:50,097 --> 00:19:53,097
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party, but the aocs of the world

337
00:19:53,457 --> 00:19:57,537
Speaker 1: who are almost like these radical religious zealots, and they

338
00:19:57,577 --> 00:20:02,177
Speaker 1: are ideologues, and whatever they choose is the battle of

339
00:20:02,217 --> 00:20:05,337
Speaker 1: the day. If you are against them on that, forget it.

340
00:20:05,457 --> 00:20:11,217
Speaker 1: You're done. Yep, that's how it goes. Now. I weren't.

341
00:20:11,337 --> 00:20:13,697
Speaker 1: I've been telling conservatives, but this Telci Gaber is not

342
00:20:13,697 --> 00:20:16,177
Speaker 1: a conservative. She goes to Democrats and a lot of things,

343
00:20:16,617 --> 00:20:18,857
Speaker 1: but she does break with them on some core issues

344
00:20:19,017 --> 00:20:23,617
Speaker 1: and really just around honesty and decency and so on

345
00:20:23,697 --> 00:20:26,937
Speaker 1: those points, it's very I think she has a very

346
00:20:26,937 --> 00:20:30,377
Speaker 1: interesting and particularly valid perspective. But I mean she's not

347
00:20:30,737 --> 00:20:32,657
Speaker 1: She's not about to run as Donald Trump's running. Me

348
00:20:32,697 --> 00:20:34,697
Speaker 1: to keep seeing people say this, I don't think that's Look,

349
00:20:34,737 --> 00:20:36,017
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, I'll admit it. I don't think that's

350
00:20:36,017 --> 00:20:40,977
Speaker 1: going to happen. Joy Bay huh. It was her birthday,

351
00:20:41,977 --> 00:20:45,257
Speaker 1: so I want to wish her a happy birthday along

352
00:20:45,297 --> 00:20:49,497
Speaker 1: with President Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, who singled out

353
00:20:50,617 --> 00:20:55,497
Speaker 1: perhaps the dumbest political commentator on television today for a

354
00:20:55,537 --> 00:20:59,577
Speaker 1: happy birthday, and my whole Biden family. Happy Birthday, Joy.

355
00:20:59,937 --> 00:21:03,137
Speaker 1: No one is better name than you. You've brought joy

00:21:11,297 --> 00:21:14,257
Speaker 1: And as a former teacher, I know that there's so

359
00:21:14,297 --> 00:21:18,457
Speaker 1: many students out there whose lives you've changed. You speak

00:21:18,497 --> 00:21:20,777
Speaker 1: your mind, you speak from a heart, You stand up
