1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: your podcasts. I really do think it's depressing that we

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: all expect things to just get worse in Minneapolis, and

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: we expect that this will spread to other cities. We

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: should be able to have a national conversation or at

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: least have some kind of understanding that we the American

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: people all want justice and that there needs to be

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: a cooling of passions and tempers here because a lot

11
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: of innocent people are going to get hurt otherwise. But instead,

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: it's just it seems so clear that the wave of

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: mayhem and anarchy is just going to continue to build up,

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: and the Democrat demagoguery around all this is just going

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: to get worse. But you know, these days, what you

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: see online is so already curated in ski because the

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: big tech sensors are making sure that you can only

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: say certain things, and everything that you do online is

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: public in a sense, right. So tech has become so

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: advanced now that if you're using your PC your computer

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: anyplace and you're accessing public WiFi, what you're doing online,

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: what you're doing on your computer. It's just as easy

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: to see by someone else at the right technology as

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: you're seeing it yourself. Kind of takes away the whole

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: notion of what a personal computer or PC should be.

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: Your activities, your data may no longer really be personal,

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: right the bad guys can get to it. Express VPN

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,440

29

00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,880

00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: It's like the difference between mailing a postcard and mailing

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: a letter. Express VPN is akin to that sealed envelope.

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: station in Brooklyn Center. If you've seen the photos of it,

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: if you see what's going on here, it looks like

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: they're prepared for a protracted siege. You have law enforcement

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: officers that have nothing to do with the specific incident

47
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: of the shooting, the killing of Dante Wright, who are

48
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: being attacked by angry people in a mob Antifa self

49
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: described Antifa members now showing up. This is a litmatch

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: thrown into a tinderbox sitting atop a big pool of gasoline.

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: This is a highly combustible situation right now, and everyone

52
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: needs to just take a step back and think about

53
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: what's really going on here. The city of Minneapolis has

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: already been through far too much, and the rest of

55
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: the country has dealt with the reverberations. As you recall,

56
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: last summer, there were b LM protests that broke out

57
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: across the country, and it needs to be said more

58
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: more people need to know this, need to hear this

59
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: that in a year of a pandemic where we had

60
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: lockdowns and we had people interacting less, far fewer people

61
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: than in living memory, going to bars and restaurants and

62
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: subways and being out in public places, so you should

63
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: expect that the violence rate in the country would be far,

64
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: far lower than in previous years. Instead, what we had

65
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: was a massive spike arise of murders and other violent

66
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: crimes and including rapes, sexual assaults, assault with a deadly

67
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: weapon arise across the country not seen in over twenty years.

68
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: The worst murder rate. They're expecting. They still compile the

69
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: numbers and they'll give us the official date. I believe

70
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: in September, the worst murder rate since nineteen ninety five nationwide.

71
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: And there's one major factor in all of this. The

72
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: George Floyd police incident in Minneapolis, his death, the riots

73
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: that ensued afterwards, the undermining of police, the call through

74
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: defund police, and communities becoming less safe as a result.

75
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: People suffer because of these bad ideas. People suffer because

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: of these lies. We all need to understand this. We

77
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: need to be honest about it. I know right now

78
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: that there is that cheap virtue signaling going on all

79
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: over the place by people who live in safe communities,

80
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: who don't know crime from a firsthand experience, and who

81
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: think that standing in solidarity with rioters and looters is

82
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: somehow making anything better. It actually just makes everything worse.

83
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: But the ruling class and the elites, members of the

84
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Democrat Party, Silicon Valley, corporate America, they are very clear

85
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 1: and where their sympathies lie. And there's also it seems

86
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: very little willingness to say to people, stop being reckless,

87
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: stop saying things that are not true. People with major platforms.

88
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Corey Bush, member of Congress, tweeted this out about Officer Potter,

89
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: who has already resigned and who is now facing criminal culpability.

90
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: There have been about fifteen of these taser firearm mistake

91
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: shootings that have occurred over the last decade or so.

92
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: So this has happened before, and in most of the

93
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: cases there was no criminal charge, especially if the person

94
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: and if no one was killed. In a couple of

95
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: cases there have been criminal charges. An Officer Potter may

96
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: very well get an involuntary manslaughter charge as a result,

97
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: but that's already in process. Right there. There is an

98
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: accountability that is going on here that will never be

99
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: true justice in the sense that you can't bring back Dante,

100
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: right there's nothing to bring him back to stop that

101
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: tragic accident from happening. But here's what Cory Bush. Remember

102
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: the House representative said about all this that she would

103
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: rather she tweeted this. The twenty six year veteran cop,

104
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: former president of the police union doesn't know the difference

105
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: between a taser and a gun. And you say more

106
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: training would have fixed this, Nah, But I bet you

107
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: would have known the difference if Dante wasn't a black boy,

108
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: or if he was her loved one. And quote that's

109
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: from a representative, Cory Bush. That is a in sight

110
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: unfair and deeply unhelpful thing to say. Right now, there

111
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of racial animus in this incident.

112
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: In fact, if anything, what we see on video is

113
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: someone who is clearly trying to do one thing, makes

114
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: an awful mistake that she is responsible for, and then

115
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: realizes the error that she's just committed and that the

116
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: tragedy that ensued, and knows that it's too late and

117
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: she can't take that bullet back. But this has happened

118
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: before the timing of this, I mean beyond just the

119
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: fact that it's a tragedy in and of itself, but

120
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: the timing of this right before we're expected to hear

121
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: about the George Floyd verdict. I mean it rather the

122
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: Derek Chauvin verdict about the death of George Floyd, which

123
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: is next week. I mean the jury could be deliberating

124
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: as soon as next week. Right now, it would be

125
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: hard to think of a more tense situation. And people

126
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: who have platforms, people who have power here in the

127
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: national conversation, should use it responsibly. But we shouldn't expect

128
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: that to happen, not with today's Democrat party. We've got

129
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: an open border, we've got out of control spending, we've

130
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 1: got real fears of inflation. People are starting to wise

131
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: up to the fact that the Faucii consensus is never

132
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: going to just let us go back to normal. That

133
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: they're not even really thinking there is such a thing

134
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: as everyone just stops wearing masks and lives their lives,

135
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: that they're not going to give up that control. People

136
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: are starting to see through this Biden administration and so

137
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: what do they want here? That's right, an issue of

138
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: racial justice according to the left, to rally around to

139
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: make it seem like there is a righteous cause for

140
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: the left, when in this case and this reality, what

141
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: they're going to do is just create excuses for more destruction, violence,

142
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: and anarchy in the streets. What was better as a

143
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: result of BLM riots lad Year? What improved? Oh, they

144
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: got the main demand, which was defunding of police in

145
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: some cities, and crime sword and people died and misery spread.

146
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: It's very straightforward. The cops are not the problem, all right.

147
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: We have to be adults in America. We have to

148
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: be willing to say things that are obviously true. We

149
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: have to fight this effort to shut down your ability

150
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: to observe what you know to be true. There is

151
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: a war on observation going on right now. You can't

152
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: see what's actually true and not true about lockdowns and

153
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: vaccine policies and all the rest of it. Shut up

154
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: and do what you're told you can't see and come

155
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: to your own conclusions about how crime is getting worse

156
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: and how BLM activists by million dollar mansions for themselves

157
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: while they're actually supposed to be, you know, helping poor

158
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: communities and dealing with police relations. Right you're not allowed

159
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: to notice these things. You're told what to think, and

160
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: if you disagree, you're shouted down. They're not even trying

161
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: to convince you of anything anymore. And you're certainly not

162
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: supposed to notice that BLM as a movement has blood

163
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: on its hands. You look at what's happened over the

164
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: last year, over the last twelve months, and because of

165
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: the defunding of police, because of the change in perception

166
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: about community police relations and the fact that law enforcement

167
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: does not feel backed up in their jobs, more people

168
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: are dead than one otherwise be more people have suffered.

169
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: And what exactly is gained by all this defund police

170
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: which I know Ben and Jerry's, the ice cream company,

171
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: has now said that they want to abolish police. Look,

172
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: they're a bunch of morons who have done far too

173
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: much to push type two diabetes on the country. Okay,

174
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: by the way, boycott them. Let me just throw that

175
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: out there right now. Donat that ice cream. If every

176
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: person who had a rational view of America in the country,

177
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: who was center right said I'm not going to buy

178
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: anywhere Ben and Jerry's, they may actually feel that a

179
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: little bit. They may actually realize shut up and make

180
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: my you know, Oreo cookie swirl or whatever it is.

181
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: Whatever they make, I usually can't eat it because they

182
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: have gluten in a lot of their ice cream. That's

183
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: the truth. We need to take action or else this

184
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: stuff continues. Defund the police is moronic. It's a stupid

185
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: thing to say. There are bad people in this country.

186
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: There are bad, violent, destructive people of all races and backgrounds,

187
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: and we all need to be universally held to account

188
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: for our actions. We cannot break the law, we become

189
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: a lawless society. The foundation upon which everything else is built.

190
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: All of our prosperity and all of good fun stuff

191
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: out there, and all the systems that we benefit from

192
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: every day, they all start to crumble if we don't

193
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: have rule of law and we are all responsible as individuals,

194
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: as human beings for our actions. There is no license

195
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: to loot or riot or attack. And getting rid of

196
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: cops is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in

197
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: a public policy debate. It's honestly the stupidest thing I've

198
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: ever heard. What are we going to do? Then? We're

199
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: gonna start sending in social workers? Have they thought this through?

200
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: Do they think that unarmed social workers are going to

201
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: want to be involved in violent domestic disputes? You're going

202
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: to send in a social worker if somebody's calling the

203
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 1: police because they're worried that there could be a drive

204
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: by in their neighborhood. I'm glad the social worker will

205
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: be there to say, hey, let's all be nice to

206
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: each other while the bullets are flying over their heads.

207
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: Could it be any dumber? No, But this is where

208
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party is now, reckless demagoguery, brainwashing and stupidity

209
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: on a national scale to pretend they care so much

210
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: about minority communities. You know, all these MSNBC anchors who

211
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: are millionaires, who live in very safe areas, who send

212
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: their kids to private schools, they're the first ones to

213
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: tell you, Oh, but you know, we don't need so

214
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: much police. Really, they should spend a few nights in

215
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: the highest crime areas of major cities, especially these days,

216
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: and walk around the streets and see how they feel

217
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: about cops after that. I have a feeling it would

218
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: change their tunes. But it's just a bunch of virtue

219
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: signaling cowards, just reveling in their demagoguery. That's what they do,

220
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: and that's what they care about. The full text of

221
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: of of what of your requests? Uh? And UH make

222
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: sure that you know we sit down and and go

223
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: through it and see how we can implement. I don't

224
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: believe that officers need to necessarily have weapons. Uh, you know,

225
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: every time they they're they're making a traffic stop or

226
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: or engaged in situations that don't necessarily call for uh

227
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: for weapons. We know that are other many other jurisdictions

228
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: or even around the world where that is, you know,

229
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: necessarily the case it's not needed. So that's the mayor

230
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, which, as I understand it has

231
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: been a place that's very much deteriorated to the last

232
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years and much higher crime. And this

233
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: is this is someone who has a public platform, has

234
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: public power and trust, who's saying something that is just

235
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: is just shockingly stupid, but also somewhat commonplace these days

236
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: to say things that no rational person would think is

237
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: a good idea. Yes, because we have we've had a

238
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: major surge in violent crime in the country last year.

239
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: Now's the time, in a country with hundreds of millions

240
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: of firearms in circulation already, now's the time to tell

241
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: cops do your jobs, but don't be armed. That's what

242
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: the guys saying. Yeah, for traffic stops, don't don't be armed. Um,

243
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: perhaps the this individual doesn't spend much time on the internet,

244
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: he would know that a New Mexico State Police officer,

245
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: darry And Jarrett, was murdered just over the weekend. You

246
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: didn't You didn't hear a lot about this one. Not

247
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: a lot of solidarity marches, and not a lot of

248
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: people walking around trying to raise awareness about the risk

249
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: that law enforcements. Law enforcement takes. Omar Felix Queva had

250
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: a rifle and executed Officer darry and Jarrett at close

251
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: range during a routine daylight traffic stop. But sure, let's

252
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: give our cops even less of a chance anytime they

253
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: pull over somebody who has an outstanding warrant for a

254
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: violent crime, like, oh, that's right. As we've now found out,

255
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: because the stories are never accurate in the early hours

256
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: about the victims. When BLM decide that somebody is one

257
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: of their hallowed victims, one of the one of the

258
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: martyrs of the movement, the initial story are never really

259
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: true about their background. That that's always the case. There's

260
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: there's this you know, we at first it's usually the

261
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: person's you know, a family man, an honor student and

262
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: everything else. And then when we say, well, hold on

263
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: a second, this person actually, in the case of George Floyd,

264
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: for example, held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly

265
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: during a home invasion. They said, that doesn't matter. Well,

266
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: it mattered when we had all these photos of somebody,

267
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, either in their high school graduation cap and gown,

268
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: or when we're being told that they were an honor

269
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: student or a family man, or a hard working person

270
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: or whatever whatever it is, that's all to be said.

271
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: But then we find out the person either resisted or

272
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: rest had a long criminal history, had a violent criminal history.

273
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: In the case of Dante Right, the individual, this individual

274
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: held a gun to a woman and tried to rob

275
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars from her. Okay, that's that, you know,

276
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: arm armed robbery. But if you talk about this so

277
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: you're you're it's a problem and understand this. That doesn't

278
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: change anything about the culpa bill of the officer, Officer Potter,

279
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: but it does affect the narrative and the perception of

280
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: how these events affect society, of how people should view

281
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: these these situations. Same thing where you bring up, you know,

282
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: resisting arrest, it is possible to say, don't resist arrest, Comma,

283
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: and this officer made a terrible mistake. Those are both true. Statements.

284
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: You should not resist arrest, you should not violently fight

285
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: with cops when they're trying to rescue, and you, if

286
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: you're a cop, you gotta be able to discern, even

287
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: in very tense moments, between your taser or your fire

288
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: or or else. You shouldn't be a cop. It's that simple.

289
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: I remember when you know, when I was, when I

290
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: was overseas, it was just on all the basis. I

291
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: mean an a D. If you got an and I

292
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: mean an a D out on the range, accidental discharge,

293
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: an a D. You know, walk into the to the

294
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: dining hall or whatever, if you fired off around by

295
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: accident you or you were going home. Basically you were done,

296
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: even if no one was hurt. So you know, they

297
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: that's the It's a cardinal rule of firearms safety. And

298
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: obviously officer Potters is paying, in our own way, a

299
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: very high price for this. But we're gonna we're gonna

300
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: now disarmed It was defund police. Now it's gonna be

301
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: disarmed police. Who's gonna want to take these jobs? I

302
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of law enforcement that listens to

303
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: this show all across the country, and I couldn't. I

304
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: couldn't tell them in good in good faith, Yeah, keep

305
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: doing your job, especially if you're in a relatively high

306
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: crime area. You know, I mean, I have I have

307
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: an uncle who is a police officer in south central

308
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: for fifteen years, police officer in south central Los Angeles.

309
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell him to walk around without a firearm

310
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: and to go up to people and get involved in

311
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: disputes and pull them over and try to write them

312
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: a ticket and try to you know, one of the

313
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: most dangerous things cops do is in fact, traffic stops.

314
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: But you see the voices out there right now that

315
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: get attention for the Democrat media aren't people who actually

316
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: know anything about law enforcement, about you four incidents. They're

317
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: people that appeal to the masses with their emotions. You know,

318
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: they're They're the people at MSNBC who just oh, they're

319
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: just channeling all this emotion right now, But then they

320
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: say things that end up hurting people when they're implemented.

321
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: There are negative consequences to bad ideas. Something we always

322
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: have to remember. This stuff is not without a cost.

323
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 1: But the people who bear the cost are not you know,

324
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: wealthy upper middle class journalists or well off or wealthy

325
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: TV news anchors or people who are making pr decisions

326
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: at big corporations. No, they don't pay the price. No. Instead,

327
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: the people that are the most likely to suffer from

328
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: violent crimes in the neighborhoods in the first place, their

329
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: percentages just go up. And when things get worse, and

330
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: that sense of misery and foreboding that exists. And I mean,

331
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: I've I've spent because of my time in the NYPD,

332
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: considerable time in the actual worst neighborhoods in New York City,

333
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 1: and I can tell you that it feels like a

334
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: different place than the wealthier or even just more run

335
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: of the mill parts in terms of crime of New

336
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: York City. And I wish some of these journos would

337
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: do the same, because maybe they would shut their mouths.

338
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: There's so much you're just not allowed to say about

339
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: COVID and lockdowns. It's very frustrating. As you know, it's

340
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: been one of the things that's made me particularly angry

341
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: at the big tech corporations. I mean, I think I'm

342
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: one of the most vocal anti fauci voices out there,

343
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: and I know there are some others, and I appreciate them.

344
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 1: By the way, I feel a real solidarity with them.

345
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: But I've got to tell you, the way that big

346
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: tech has weighed in on this stuff, it's just appalling.

347
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: It's awful the way that they've shut down free and

348
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: open exchange of ideas. And you know that if you've

349
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: tried to share your political opinions in general, these days,

350
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: it's really difficult to have a civil conversation. You get

351
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: attacked by trolls, you get swarmed by lunatics. Well that's

352
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: why there's caucus Room dot com. This is a social

353

Speaker 1: in your neighborhood, no bots or trolls. It's a great

359
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,320

Speaker 1: au cus r oom dot com to interact with other

367
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: listeners just like you Caucus room dot com. Let's talk

368
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: about if you have received the J and J vaccine.

369
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: A lot of folks are probably wondering what should I do,

370
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: what should I look out for. What's your advice to them? Well,

371
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: the first bit of advice is really don't worry very

372
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: much because, just as we've said, it's a very very

373
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: rare event. That's the first thing. The second thing, the

374
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: bracket of time when this occurs was between six and

375
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: thirteen days, so it's between one and two weeks. So

376
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: if you've got your vaccine several weeks ago, then it

377
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: makes it even less likely that you should have any

378
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: concern at all. If you've had it within a few days,

379
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: just stay heads up for symptoms severe headache, abdominal pain,

380
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: chest pain, things like that. But again underscoring Savannah, it

381
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: is a very very rare event, so you don't want

382
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: people who've just received the vaccine to be overly worried

383
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: about this. This is a rare occurrence. The pause is

384
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: just as an abundance of caution to really scope out

385
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: the situation a little bit more closely. The pause is

386
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: an abundance of caution. You know, you got to mitigate

387
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: because there could be a diminution of the parabellic upswing

388
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: of the hypotheses of the Isosceles triangle. And you know,

389
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: I really do feel like sometimes this guy is just

390
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: broke it into a few high school textbooks and wants

391
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: to just throw out a bunch of a bunch of

392
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: science sounding jargon, math and science jargon at us. You know,

393
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: when you have Savannah, you get the shot, and when

394
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: the photosynthesis kicks in and you have the oxo ribo

395
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: nucleic acid that is a part of the overall you

396
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: know Dalwinnian notion of it. Just just blabber right that.

397
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: But people go home, doctor Foucher, You're so smart. Doctor

398
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: Foucher's so smart. He's such a smart man. What are

399
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: we doing? So now it's don't worry. Yesterday was pause

400
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: the vaccine. Now it's don't worry. And I just want

401
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: to say when I tell you guys, because I'm thinking

402
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: about this all the time, and I know I get

403
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: I get a lot of feedback from you all, and

404
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: I want the feed. I want you to tell me

405
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: what you think about what we're doing here. You you

406
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: are this show. This show is for you, and I

407
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: want to know what you're thinking. So send us an

408
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: email at Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com, or send me

409
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: a message on Facebook or Instagram. Just type in Buck

410
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: Sexton on what comes up, send a message. I see it.

411
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: Producer Mark sees it too, but I see it. And

412
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: because on the vaccines, I want to be very clear,

413
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to you know, push any water, bully

414
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: anyone in anything. People say, Buck, why would you get

415
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: the vaccine You've already had COVID? And I say, I know,

416
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: isn't it so stupid? The only reason that I would

417
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: get that. I'm scheduled to get a vaccine in about

418
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: sixty days, so in a while, because I do it,

419
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: I've got anybodies in my system, I've already had the virus,

420
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: and in a short period of time, I'm going to

421
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: introduce that same immune response through this, you know, genetic

422
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: coding response or whatever. I mean, very just you know,

423
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: very few people really understand how these vaccines actually work.

424
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: This is not your standard. This isn't putting just dead

425
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: virus into your system. This is something else. But the

426
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: reason that I've said I would do it, And I'm

427
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: not trying to push anybody else here. I'm just saying

428
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: because I in New York, where I currently live and

429
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: my family is, and where I work, they have already

430
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: started to experiment with vaccine passports, and you know, so

431
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm willing to take the risk more so so I

432
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: can live a normal I can live a normal life.

433
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: But I agree with some of you say, well, isn't

434
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: that a little bit? I mean, I'm so anti mask

435
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: as you know, outdoor masking moronic, zero reason to do that.

436
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: Indoor masking and limited circumstances at sometimes you know, maybe,

437
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: but in general, I mean, I think mask mandates don't work.

438
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: I think mask mandates are a disaster. And I think

439
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: that masking is the initial knee bending that leads to

440
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: all this other madness in our society. I actually shared

441
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: this was actually this is great I shared on Twitter today.

442
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: If you have probably you also all should be following

443
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: me on Twitter please if you're not already, And it's this.

444
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: It was almost exactly a year ago. It was like

445
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: a year and a week ago, there was a piece

446
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: in the Washington Post. I'm just waiting for this too.

447
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for this to be taken down or

448
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: for social media companies to come after me. This is

449
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: the right below the democracy dies in darkness. You know

450
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: header in the Washington Post everyone wore flu masks during

451
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighteen I'm sorry, everyone wore masks during the

452
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen flu pandemic. They were useless. That was in

453
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: the Washington Post a year ago. Everyone wore masks during

454
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighteen flu pandemic. They were useless. That was

455
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: the headline, not that they didn't work that well. Useless.

456
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: And you know what that line is. That line is

457
00:26:54,760 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: taken from the considered this seminal work work of history

458
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: on the Spanish flu pandemic of nineteen eighteen. The author

459
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: just writes, Look, they did this everywhere. Didn't do a

460
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: damn thing, but people were obsessed, and there was mask fashion,

461
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: and there was you know, mask all kinds of stuff. Right. Oh,

462
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, how do you where does your where should

463
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: you shave your mustache? A lot of mustaches back? Then?

464
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: Where should you save shave your mustache so that it

465
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: doesn't affect your mask and all this stuff, and they

466
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: were useless, was the quote. Now, if I say that today,

467
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: I get kicked off social media and treated like a troglodyte.

468
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: But this was in the Washington Post, friends, a year ago.

469
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: And what's amazing is the sheeple out there, mate, mate,

470
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: they they see stuff like this. And when I point

471
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: this out to them, or I of course show them

472
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: the Fauci lines from a year ago, you know, you

473
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: know it may it may actually make you feel a

474
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: little better, but you know, when you're out in the crowd,

475
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: you know it doesn't really do anything to wear a mask.

476
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: They say, well, but the science has changed, Oh yeah,

477
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: how and then they point to some uh, some not

478
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: real world study they point to essentially spray water through

479
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: a mask and saying, well, there's less vapor. So since

480
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: there's less vapor, there's there's you know, it's effective, it's

481
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: stopping the virus. And then then you show them all

482
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: these CDC studies. There was a big one, I think

483
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: it was up in Canada because they say, well, doctors

484
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: to wear them, and you say, okay, well, the CDC

485
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: study fromp in Canada about masks during flu season for dentists,

486
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: specifically for for dental personnel, showed the dentists who wear

487
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: masks during procedures versus those who don't. No change in

488
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: the transmission for those healthcare personnel during the flu season.

489
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: And it was a pretty big So that's a real

490
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: world study. And there's tons of this out there if

491
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: you want to see it. The Danish mask study. Oh well,

492
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: yeah that you know. Sure it didn't stop people from

493
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: getting it, but you could not give it to another

494
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: person if you have it on and they have it.

495
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: There's always there's always an excuse, right, there's always an excuse.

496
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: The CDC numbers on mask mandates within the margin of error.

497
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: That's how well the mandate works. But you can't bring

498
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: this up. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not letting this go

499
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 1: because friends, they're they're trying to change the wiring in

500
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: our brains with all this stuff. They are making you

501
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 1: a compliant little stooge. And I hate it. I resent

502
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: it every They do it to me too, because you'll say, well, buck,

503
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: do you wear a mask in New York? I have.

504
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: They will evict me from my home if I don't,

505
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: I will be kicked out of the grocery store. I

506
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: will I will get you know even more dad bod

507
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: going on here without even being a dad. Because I

508
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: can't go to the gym, all these things will happen.

509
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: I have no I have no choice. And if they

510
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: call the police, the police will enforce against me. They

511
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: will arrest me. Right so I am. I am not

512
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 1: conceited to their argument. I'm conceding to their superior force.

513
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: I tried. I went maskless for months and months and months.

514
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: Then I was told deal man, everyone's complaining about you.

515
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: This is getting out of control. Oh and by the way,

516
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 1: since I got the virus two months ago when I

517
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: was walking around with no mask on, was I ever infected? No?

518
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: Did I ever put anyone at risk? We know for

519
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: a fact scientifically no. I did not. Never, there was

520
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: no risk, zero risk. But you're not allowed to see

521
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: once again, you're not allowed to observe. There's a war

522
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: on observation right now that the Democrats and the left

523
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: are waging. You don't know what you're seeing, you don't

524
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: know what's really happening. You're not allowed to even say,

525
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: hold on a second, they're pausing a vaccine. If you

526
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: had called for a vaccine, pause on your Facebook page

527
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: two weeks ago. If you had said, guys, I just

528
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: I've read some data on Johnson and Johnson, and you

529
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: know something's going on here. We got to really look

530
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: into this boom. Facebook would lock you out, They shut

531
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: you down, they take your account away. Think of the

532
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: effect that that has on our conversation about this. This

533
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: is the new public square. They are the phone company,

534
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, circa nineteen fifty. This is how people communicate,

535
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: and they control it. The biggest enemies of free speech

536
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: and free expression in the country right now are the

537
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: most powerful platforms of communication in the world. This is

538
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: the great irony we're dealing with. But the point of

539
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: making about the vaccines is does that change the thinking

540
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: at all for the people that believe that they have

541
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: all this figured out? Does that change the hubrists and

542
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: the arrogant mentality of those who say, oh, I just

543
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: listen to the science, I just listen to Fauci. How

544
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: many times did those guys get to be wrong before

545
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: a normal person would say, maybe something's up here now.

546
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: I saw, for example, the Tucker monologue. Lass Tucker did

547
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: a monologue last not on this, and he kept saying,

548
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: why do they want us to wear masks after we're vaccinated.

549
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: He posed this question, and he didn't get to I

550
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: know what their answer is. Even after vaccination, there's a

551
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: tiny percentage of people who could still get infected, five

552
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: percent by the Fiser numbers, whatever it is. And so

553
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: if it saves just one life, this is the this

554
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: is the well spring of all the tyranny. If it

555
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: could theoretically save just one life, you have to deal

556
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: with this for our health policy. Faucism. The fauci id

557
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: consensus is the speed limit must now be ten miles

558
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: an hour. That is what has happened in this country,

559
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: where the speed limit now must be ten miles an hour.

560
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: And if you don't like it, you can't drive, you

561
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: can't leave your home, actually, and we'll arrest you if

562
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: you do anything else. It's not the country I want

563
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: to live in. It's not a country I'm going to

564
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: accept either. And the grubby little fingers of the states

565
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: authoritarian democrats here, they're not taking they're not taking their

566
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: hands off the wheels of power. They're not going to

567
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: do it. They want to control you. They want to

568
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: keep this going as long as possible. They like you compliant,

569
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: they like you scared, stay home, wear a mask, don't

570
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: see people, do what we tell you, get whatever shots

571
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: we tell you. Do you think that that upsets the

572
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: nanny state leftists? Or is this a dream come true

573
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: in terms of the power they have. It could be

574
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: that possibly someone who's had COVID like myself, could they

575
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: be reinfected. They're very small numbers of it, But guess what,

576
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: almost none of them are really getting sick. You're you're

577
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: not reading stories of oh my goodness, thousands of people

578
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: being reinfected, they're in the hospital and they're dying. Those

579
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: stories don't exist. You'll read about a random, very rare

580
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: person getting reinfected or getting infected when they've been vaccinated.

581
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: But the good is that even if you got infected

582
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: from COVID, after you've been vaccinated, you have some immunity,

583
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: a partial immunity, and it lessens the degree or significance

584
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: of the disease. So almost everything out there's good news.

585
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: This is why I so much think doctor Fauci should

586
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: be voluntarily removed from TV, because what he says is

587
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: such a disservice and such fear monitoring, and almost all

588
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 1: of what he says isn't even matched by the science

589
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: of his own institute. So really what we need to

590
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: do is here from a lot of different experts, and

591
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: then people need to realize that the risk factors are

592
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: different depending on your age. You mentioned that Johnson and

593
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: Johnson vaccine very very safe, and if you're over eighty,

594
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: without question, it's the only one you can get, take it.

595
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: If you're over seventy, take it, But it does depend

596
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,479
Speaker 1: on your age. If you're under twenty five, the chance

597
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: of dying from this is one in a million. So

598
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: your risk factors do depend on whether you judge whether

599
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: you take a vaccine. It's not the same for everybody.

600
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: Everything Senator round Paul saying there is provably demonstrably true.

601
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: But do you ever do you ever hear this? I mean,

602
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: they've there have been teachers unions that as part of

603
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: their demands, and the teachers unions have just shown what

604
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: a disgraceful, disgusting mess they are in the past year.

605
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: Just just thuggish democrat political machinery. And it's all the

606
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: teachers unions are good for. But the truth here, with

607
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: everything that's going on, the truth of the situation is

608
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: that we can't have real conversations about risk. We can't

609
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: actually have real discussions about who's at risk and who's not.

610
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: They wanted children, Teachers Union wanted children to get vaccinated.

611
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: Why kids, The kids are fine. But what they do

612
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: is they say that's not true. Kids can still get it.

613
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: And they'll point and they'll say, look, you know, one

614
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: hundred children have died believed to have died from COVID

615
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: in the United States. Okay, I mean that's one hundred

616
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: children out of a country three hundred and thirty million people.

617
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: There are viruses that you know, that are that are

618
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 1: floating around in the air all the time that kids

619
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: can still get they can die. We have to accept

620
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: that there's not a zero mortality future from COVID. That's

621
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: not realistic. That's not gonna happen, just like there's not

622
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: a zero mortality from flu future for the world. So,

623
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, the people that have pushed for all this stuff,

624
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 1: the lockdowners, you gotta understand what their next moves are

625
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: gonna be. We keep seeing these reports, Oh, the vaccines

626
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: are effective for six months. Okay, what happens then we're

627
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: gonna are we supposed to go through this every year? Oh?

628
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: And you know, you can't actually see people and do things.

629
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: You gotta get the second and then what about when

630
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: the booster, you know, doesn't work on the new variant

631
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: or something. I mean, you're just gonna We're all gonna

632
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: go insane. I mean, we're all just gonna completely lose

633
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: our minds over this stuff over time. And I think

634
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people have. I believe that mass media

635
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 1: has combined to create combined with mass hysteria to create

636
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: the environment we're currently living in. You've never had so

637
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: many hysterics able to reach out and talk to so

638
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: many other hysterics that at one point in human history

639
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: speaking of hysterics, here's CNN with their I guess he's

640
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: still unpaid as a contributor. But doctor Fauci, who really,

641
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: you know he's I know he's at the National Institute

642
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: of Allergy and Infectious Disease, but he really should just

643
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: be chirond as favorite CNN and MSNBC guest, because they're

644
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: also emotionally and professionally invested in this guy not being

645
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: a little tyrannical moron, which I think he is. But

646
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: here's CNN talking about what Tucker said on his monologue,

647
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: which I brought up before Play six TV personality Tucker

648
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 1: Carlson said on TV about vaccines in general. He said,

649
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: if the vaccine, if vaccines are effective, there's no reason

650
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: for people who have received the vaccine to wear masks

651
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: or avoid physical contact. So maybe it doesn't work and

652
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: they're simply not telling you that. Let me repeat that again.

653
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: So maybe it doesn't work and they're simply not telling

654
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: you that. What do you have to say to Tucker Carlson. Yeah,

655
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: that's just the typical crazy conspiracy theory. Why would we

656
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: not tell people if it doesn't work? Look at the data.

657
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: The data are overwhelming. In the three vaccines that have

658
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: been approved for use in an emergency use authimization, the

659
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: Jay and Jay, the Fiser, and the Moderna. You had

660
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: thirty thousand, forty four thousand, and forty thousand people in

661
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: a clinical trial with an overwhelming signal of efficacy. So

662
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't have any idea what he's talking about. How

663
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: dangerous is it for a TV personality like that, who

664
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: does have an audience of millions to speculate about something

665
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: like that. Well, it's certainly not helpful to the public

666
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: health of this nation or even globally. You know, I

667
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: don't want to get into arguments about Tucker Carlson, but

668
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: to me, it's just, you know, it's counter to what

669
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: we were trying to accomplish, to protect the safe, the

670
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: end the health of the American public. Why can't that

671
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: little fascists tell us when we can stop wearing masks?

672
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: When give us a date or give us the numbers,

673
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: give us the metrics. Why can't give up the control?

674
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: Better to attack Tucker Carlson for asking that was a

675
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: question that he brought up in the context of a

676
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: fifteen minute monologue where it's clear he's not anti vaccines

677
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: and he's not saying they don't work. He's just trying

678
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: to work through a problem that we're not allowed to

679
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: really talk about because the lockdowners are authoritarians. And I'm

680
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: actually the process of trying to find an employee or

681
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: two to join some of my Freedom Hunt activities. And

682
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: it's a tough out there right now because you've got

683
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: people that don't necessarily know if they're could be able

684
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: to stay remote in their job. I mean, they like

685
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: it if they don't. There's all this change that's currently

686
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: going on, and I think we're just beginning to see

687
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: how much our work life balance has really shifted as

688
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: a result of these pandemic policies, but it's it's getting

689
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: more complicated all the time, and that just reminds me

690
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: that when you're running a business, HR issues can kill you. Right,

691
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: you've got those wrongful termination suits, minimum wage requirements, labor regulations,

692
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: and HR manager salaries are not cheap, as you know,

693
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,919
Speaker 1: an average of seventy thousand dollars a year. Bambi, which

708
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: announced that he plans to pull US troops out of

709
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: Afghanistan by September eleventh of this year, clearly noting the

710
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: symbolism here of that day and an end to a

711
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: war that has raged for twenty years. We have been

712
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: deployed in Afghanistan. We've had US military in Afghanistan for

713
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: twenty years. And I remember I was in Afghanistan a

714
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: decade ago. The situation then was largely the same as

715
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: the situation now, except there were far more troops in

716
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: the country at that time. But the same things you'd

717
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 1: hear about how the Taliban is on the offensive, and

718
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: the central government is corrupt and weak in an effective

719
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: and their forces toe to toe without US support, won't

720
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: be able to go won't be able to go up

721
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: in battle against the Taliban without losing. And I just

722
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: remember thinking that everyone that I knew who was handling

723
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: that issue at the at the highest levels honestly of

724
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 1: the intelligence community in the US government, was very negative

725
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: on the long term product that was in twenty ten

726
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: very negative on the prospects of Afghanistan's future and felt

727
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: like we could stay and just keep holding it together,

728
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: or eventually realized that enough is enough. Well, the same

729
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: voice is the very hawkish Republican voices that you always

730
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: hear on this point are out there telling you, oh,

731
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: we we shouldn't do it. Here here he is the

732
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: guy I've never seen. Lindsey Graham has never seen a

733
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: troop deployment or a war that even like, as far

734
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: as I can tell, I don't know what it is

735
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: with this guy always looking to bomb another country and

736
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: show what it's wrong. So it gets applause from the

737
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: think tank set on K Street in DC. Here he

738
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: is play eleven. Biden's become an incredibly destabilizing American president.

739
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: He took a border that was pretty calm and turned

740
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: it into chaos. The Mid East had been transformed on

741
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: Trump's watch, where the Arabs were working with Israelis and

742
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: had Iran in a box. He's taken Iran and let

743
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: him out of the box. They're talking about enriching uranium

744
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: at sixty percent now, which is a direct threat to

745
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,480
Speaker 1: the existence of the state of Israel. The Russians are

746
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: challenging him in the Ukraine, and now he is withdrawing

747
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 1: forces in Afghanistan against sound military advice. To all of

748
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: you who are listening, you remember where you're at. On

749
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 1: September eleventh, two thousand and one, our military told President

750
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: Biden that if you withdraw all of our forces, al

751
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: Kaeda and Isis will come roaring back. Afghanistan would disintegrate

752
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: into civil war, and we can avoid all of that

753
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: by having three to five thousand American forces making sure

754
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: that ISIS and al Kada never come back to hurt us.

755
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: He rejected that advice. Afghanistan is going to tear rate

756
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: pretty rapidly. Al Kada and ISIS are going to come back.

757
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: He's paving the way for another nine eleven. Now, I

758
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: want to be very clear that I don't care that

759
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is a Democrat, and I don't care that

760
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: this may not be the most popular thing to say

761
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: on conservative talk radio right now. I think the war

762
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan needs to end. I wanted Trump to end it.

763
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: I wanted Trump to end our military presence. He did not.

764
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: I want Biden to end our military presence. I'm not

765
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 1: going to do this thing. I'm not going to play

766
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: this game of saying I want other men and women

767
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: down range fighting, you know, in Afghanistan when it politically

768
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: suits me. No, you know how I felt during the

769
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: Trump years, I wanted the president to end our military

770
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: involvement in Afghanistan. I am going to stand on that

771
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: same viewpoint now, all right, Otherwise what am I'm just

772
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, look, I know there's so many conservatives out there,

773
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: is in the media that's just all about I mean,

774
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: just raising donor money and like, you know, maga hats

775
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 1: when it's popular, and then you know, oh, they're all

776
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, they're hi ekei and free

777
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: market pioneers when they think that's popular, and then back

778
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: to the maga hat they say whatever they've got to say.

779
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,919
Speaker 1: You all know that I want the war in Afghanistan,

780
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: our involvement, I should say to end there. So I'm

781
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: not going to pretend that that's not what I wanted.

782
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: If I wanted under Trump last year, I wanted under

783
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: Biden now, So I'm not going to do this thing

784
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: and hit him for yet. Is the border a mess

785
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: because of Biden? One hundred percent? Everything else that I've

786
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: said about that stuff is that all stays. But I

787
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: do think the war in Afghanistan are pardon the war

788
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan needs to end, and I understand that that

789
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: is there's a very real possibility the Taliban will end

790
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: up taking over substantial control there. And I will tell

791
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: you right now that I will if there is a

792
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: terrorist attack plan from Afghan soil that involves the Afghan regime,

793
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 1: the Taliban, whatever part it may be, I will advocate

794
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: for a not a US military you know, pinprick invasion,

795
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: but scorched earth and whatever we got to do, however

796
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: we gotta do it. Not not letting them take another

797
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: generation of Americans, you know, twenty years worth of people

798
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: who are serving the in the military and wound them

799
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: and kill them. And we're trying to create democracy. No, no, no,

800
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: if they if they if they poke the dragon again,

801
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: we go back breathing whatever fire we have to. That

802
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: should be our attitude. It's the way it used to be.

803
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: So it's the old approach in America when we when

804
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: someone decides that they're going to attack us, we go back.

805
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: We hit them with everything we've got until they can't

806
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: hit us anymore. And that's that. So that really should

807
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: be the attitude. I think it's not that we're going

808
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: to go rebuild other people's countries for them, and that

809
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: has been the case for for a while. Now. Now

810
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: I understand people say it's a relatively small military presence. Yeah,

811
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: but maybe in three years it won't be relatively small.

812
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: Maybe the Taliban becomes ascended. In our three thousand troops

813
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: there's not enough. And now now we're going to get

814
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 1: deeper and deeper into it. You know, there is the

815
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: quagmire theory of how these things work. It's it's it's

816
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: not a lie. This can happen. Marco Ruby another, You've

817
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: got all these Republican foreign policy hawks, you know, making

818
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: sure that the raytheon stock stays where it is and

819
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: keeps going up. Here's Marco Rubio plate twelve. Well, that

820
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: was a decision that began under President Trump, and so

821
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: they've just what they've announced is that they're going to

822
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: stick with President Trump's decision with regards to Afghanistan. Look,

823
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: the outcome is going to be a terrible thing. The

824
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: Taliban's i believe, will eventually take over the country as

825
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: they were in charge before, and it's not going to

826
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: be a good outcome. The flip side of it is

827
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: that I'm not sure what the pathway to a better

828
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: feature in the near term ones. And you know, given

829
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: all the other needs we're facing around the world. You know,

830
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: once President Trump made that decision, I think the die

831
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: was cast in that regarden. Do you think the US

832
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,479
Speaker 1: has made enough progress on training the Afghan security forces?

833
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope so. I don't have a tremendous

834
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: amount of I hope I'm wrong because of the implications,

835
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: but I don't have a lot of faith that the

836
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: current government Afghanistan will be able to survive or hold

837
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: on for long the Taliban. My personal opinion everything I

838
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: mean I know is I think the Taliban will have

839
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: an Afghan againstand control by the Taliban again, and that

840
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: not a good outcome. But it's a direction that we're headed,

841
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: and the previous administration agreed to that. The current administration

842
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 1: stuck with it, and that's where we're going. I think

843
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: that's where we should go. And I'll have to revisit this,

844
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 1: you know, maybe in a year, maybe in eighteen months,

845
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: because I think what Mark Rubio says here, he understands

846
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: the basic facts and storyline of this. The gods, the

847
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 1: Senate Form Relation Committee. I mean, he's he's pretty he's

848
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 1: pretty knowledge about this stuff. Uh yeah, the Taliban will

849
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: be ascendant, and there's a chance of Taliban will take

850
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: over much, not all, but much of the country, and

851
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: perhaps they will then forward some kind of a power

852
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: sharing agreement. But it's not my problem. You know, We've

853
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: we've gone through this, right, we remember, we're rock. We

854
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: try to build a better country, and then they want

855
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, now they want us out. And then we

856
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,399
Speaker 1: had Isis and all this stuff, and we're all told, oh,

857
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: we're imperialless in America. Now we we've done this, we

858
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: try to go in and get rid of the bad

859
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 1: dictators and get rid of the Jihatas and build nice societies. Nope, enough,

860
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't want anyone being sent on our

861
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: behalf as the American people, to go do this anymore.

862
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, what we really need to be concerned about

863
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: is if things get really hot with China in the

864
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: next five to ten years, are we ready for that?

865
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: All right, Afghanistan is done well, we've been through this,

866
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: We've done everything that we can do. Well, we'll still

867
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: give them aid and you know, the thing that you

868
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 1: gotta remember, there's also going to be support, back channel

869
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 1: support and stuff that you know, you can't talk about

870
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: publicly that's going to be going on where the US

871
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: government's gonna be helping the Afghan government. That's obviously going

872
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: to happen, but it's just no longer going to be

873
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: our military presence holding this whole place together. And people say, well,

874
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: what about South Korea and what about Germany? The Taliban

875
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: isn't about to take over Germany. I mean, there's not

876
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: an imminent threat of war in these countries. So those

877
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: are strategic military bases with host partner nations that actually

878
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: want us for the most part, in country, and our

879
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: troops are not at any risk in Germany, or or

880
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: in South Korea, or or in Japan. So that's a

881
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 1: very different circumstance, isn't it. If the Nazis were still

882
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: running around Germany controlling you know, the whole states, you know,

883
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: the Nazis were running Bavaria as the Taliban is running

884
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: parts of Afghanistan, and then you'd have a more similar circumstance.

885
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: But it's time to go, and you know, like I said,

886
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people change their stuff. I

887
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: know they're you know, there are people who as radio

888
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 1: hosts were calling Trump an idiot and he's awful, and

889
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: then they were the big Trump cheerleaders, even they were

890
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: pretending they weren't. I thought we should have ended Afghanistan

891
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: under Trump, and this is the timeline that the Trump

892
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: administration then sent out. Biden's going to stay with it.

893
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: I believe this is the right move, and I think

894
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: it will get ugly. I think there will be cost

895
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,959
Speaker 1: to this, but it's not I couldn't sit here and say,

896
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 1: if you made me Secretary of Defense, I could not

897
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: sit here and say to you the American people, including

898
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 1: all the people listening to this who are active and

899
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: former military. We've got people in the Special Operations community

900
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: who listened to the show. We have seals, we have

901
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 1: sf we have Marines who listened to this show. I

902
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: could not say to them, yeah, I want you to

903
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,239
Speaker 1: I want you to stay in Afghanistan. I think this

904
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: mission is worth it. And I certainly couldn't say to

905
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: any their earns, I want to put your your children

906
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: in harm's way for this mission set And so if

907
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: that's how I feel, would I send my own son

908
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: if I had one to secure Hellman Province at this point.

909
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: If I were the Secretary of Defense, no, I would

910
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: not so come with May. That's how I feel about this,

911
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm not going to trash this policy because

912
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,720
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is following through on it. Our troops,

913
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 1: our national security is more important than those kinds of games.
