WEBVTT - Buck’s First Thoughts - Reckless Rhetoric Leads To Riots 

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:05.840
<v Speaker 1>get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure

0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe on the iHeart app or wherever you get

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>your podcasts. I really do think it's depressing that we

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>all expect things to just get worse in Minneapolis, and

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>we expect that this will spread to other cities. We

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:25.479
<v Speaker 1>should be able to have a national conversation or at

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>least have some kind of understanding that we the American

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>people all want justice and that there needs to be

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>a cooling of passions and tempers here because a lot

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>of innocent people are going to get hurt otherwise. But instead,

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>it's just it seems so clear that the wave of

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>mayhem and anarchy is just going to continue to build up,

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Democrat demagoguery around all this is just going

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>to get worse. But you know, these days, what you

0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>see online is so already curated in ski because the

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>big tech sensors are making sure that you can only

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>say certain things, and everything that you do online is

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>public in a sense, right. So tech has become so

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>advanced now that if you're using your PC your computer

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>anyplace and you're accessing public WiFi, what you're doing online,

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing on your computer. It's just as easy

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to see by someone else at the right technology as

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>you're seeing it yourself. Kind of takes away the whole

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>notion of what a personal computer or PC should be.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Your activities, your data may no longer really be personal,

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>right the bad guys can get to it. Express VPN

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.440

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like the difference between mailing a postcard and mailing

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>a letter. Express VPN is akin to that sealed envelope.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>station in Brooklyn Center. If you've seen the photos of it,

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 1>if you see what's going on here, it looks like

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>they're prepared for a protracted siege. You have law enforcement

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 1>officers that have nothing to do with the specific incident

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>of the shooting, the killing of Dante Wright, who are

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>being attacked by angry people in a mob Antifa self

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>described Antifa members now showing up. This is a litmatch

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>thrown into a tinderbox sitting atop a big pool of gasoline.

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 1>This is a highly combustible situation right now, and everyone

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>needs to just take a step back and think about

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>what's really going on here. The city of Minneapolis has

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>already been through far too much, and the rest of

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>the country has dealt with the reverberations. As you recall,

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>last summer, there were b LM protests that broke out

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>across the country, and it needs to be said more

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.119
<v Speaker 1>more people need to know this, need to hear this

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that in a year of a pandemic where we had

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 1>lockdowns and we had people interacting less, far fewer people

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 1>than in living memory, going to bars and restaurants and

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>subways and being out in public places, so you should

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>expect that the violence rate in the country would be far,

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.119
<v Speaker 1>far lower than in previous years. Instead, what we had

0:03:56.240 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>was a massive spike arise of murders and other violent

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>crimes and including rapes, sexual assaults, assault with a deadly

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>weapon arise across the country not seen in over twenty years.

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>The worst murder rate. They're expecting. They still compile the

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>numbers and they'll give us the official date. I believe

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>in September, the worst murder rate since nineteen ninety five nationwide.

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>And there's one major factor in all of this. The

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd police incident in Minneapolis, his death, the riots

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that ensued afterwards, the undermining of police, the call through

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>defund police, and communities becoming less safe as a result.

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 1>People suffer because of these bad ideas. People suffer because

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 1>of these lies. We all need to understand this. We

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 1>need to be honest about it. I know right now

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that there is that cheap virtue signaling going on all

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>over the place by people who live in safe communities,

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 1>who don't know crime from a firsthand experience, and who

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 1>think that standing in solidarity with rioters and looters is

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>somehow making anything better. It actually just makes everything worse.

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>But the ruling class and the elites, members of the

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Democrat Party, Silicon Valley, corporate America, they are very clear

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and where their sympathies lie. And there's also it seems

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>very little willingness to say to people, stop being reckless,

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 1>stop saying things that are not true. People with major platforms.

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Corey Bush, member of Congress, tweeted this out about Officer Potter,

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>who has already resigned and who is now facing criminal culpability.

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>There have been about fifteen of these taser firearm mistake

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>shootings that have occurred over the last decade or so.

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 1>So this has happened before, and in most of the

0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>cases there was no criminal charge, especially if the person

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and if no one was killed. In a couple of

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>cases there have been criminal charges. An Officer Potter may

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>very well get an involuntary manslaughter charge as a result,

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>but that's already in process. Right there. There is an

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>accountability that is going on here that will never be

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>true justice in the sense that you can't bring back Dante,

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>right there's nothing to bring him back to stop that

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>tragic accident from happening. But here's what Cory Bush. Remember

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the House representative said about all this that she would

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 1>rather she tweeted this. The twenty six year veteran cop,

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>former president of the police union doesn't know the difference

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>between a taser and a gun. And you say more

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>training would have fixed this, Nah, But I bet you

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>would have known the difference if Dante wasn't a black boy,

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>or if he was her loved one. And quote that's

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>from a representative, Cory Bush. That is a in sight

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>unfair and deeply unhelpful thing to say. Right now, there

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely no evidence whatsoever of racial animus in this incident.

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>In fact, if anything, what we see on video is

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>someone who is clearly trying to do one thing, makes

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>an awful mistake that she is responsible for, and then

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>realizes the error that she's just committed and that the

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>tragedy that ensued, and knows that it's too late and

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.239
<v Speaker 1>she can't take that bullet back. But this has happened

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 1>before the timing of this, I mean beyond just the

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>fact that it's a tragedy in and of itself, but

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the timing of this right before we're expected to hear

0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>about the George Floyd verdict. I mean it rather the

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Derek Chauvin verdict about the death of George Floyd, which

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 1>is next week. I mean the jury could be deliberating

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>as soon as next week. Right now, it would be

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>hard to think of a more tense situation. And people

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>who have platforms, people who have power here in the

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 1>national conversation, should use it responsibly. But we shouldn't expect

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>that to happen, not with today's Democrat party. We've got

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>an open border, we've got out of control spending, we've

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.119
<v Speaker 1>got real fears of inflation. People are starting to wise

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>up to the fact that the Faucii consensus is never

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>going to just let us go back to normal. That

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>they're not even really thinking there is such a thing

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>as everyone just stops wearing masks and lives their lives,

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>that they're not going to give up that control. People

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.839
<v Speaker 1>are starting to see through this Biden administration and so

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>what do they want here? That's right, an issue of

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>racial justice according to the left, to rally around to

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>make it seem like there is a righteous cause for

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the left, when in this case and this reality, what

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do is just create excuses for more destruction, violence,

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and anarchy in the streets. What was better as a

0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 1>result of BLM riots lad Year? What improved? Oh, they

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>got the main demand, which was defunding of police in

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:09.559
<v Speaker 1>some cities, and crime sword and people died and misery spread.

0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>It's very straightforward. The cops are not the problem, all right.

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.640
<v Speaker 1>We have to be adults in America. We have to

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 1>be willing to say things that are obviously true. We

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>have to fight this effort to shut down your ability

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.559
<v Speaker 1>to observe what you know to be true. There is

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a war on observation going on right now. You can't

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>see what's actually true and not true about lockdowns and

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>vaccine policies and all the rest of it. Shut up

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and do what you're told you can't see and come

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>to your own conclusions about how crime is getting worse

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and how BLM activists by million dollar mansions for themselves

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>while they're actually supposed to be, you know, helping poor

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.320
<v Speaker 1>communities and dealing with police relations. Right you're not allowed

0:09:56.360 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to notice these things. You're told what to think, and

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.199
<v Speaker 1>if you disagree, you're shouted down. They're not even trying

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>to convince you of anything anymore. And you're certainly not

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>supposed to notice that BLM as a movement has blood

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>on its hands. You look at what's happened over the

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>last year, over the last twelve months, and because of

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the defunding of police, because of the change in perception

0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>about community police relations and the fact that law enforcement

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 1>does not feel backed up in their jobs, more people

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>are dead than one otherwise be more people have suffered.

0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>And what exactly is gained by all this defund police

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.839
<v Speaker 1>which I know Ben and Jerry's, the ice cream company,

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 1>has now said that they want to abolish police. Look,

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>they're a bunch of morons who have done far too

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>much to push type two diabetes on the country. Okay,

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.440
<v Speaker 1>by the way, boycott them. Let me just throw that

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:53.199
<v Speaker 1>out there right now. Donat that ice cream. If every

0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>person who had a rational view of America in the country,

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.439
<v Speaker 1>who was center right said I'm not going to buy

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>anywhere Ben and Jerry's, they may actually feel that a

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit. They may actually realize shut up and make

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>my you know, Oreo cookie swirl or whatever it is.

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Whatever they make, I usually can't eat it because they

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>have gluten in a lot of their ice cream. That's

0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the truth. We need to take action or else this

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.679
<v Speaker 1>stuff continues. Defund the police is moronic. It's a stupid

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>thing to say. There are bad people in this country.

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>There are bad, violent, destructive people of all races and backgrounds,

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and we all need to be universally held to account

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 1>for our actions. We cannot break the law, we become

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a lawless society. The foundation upon which everything else is built.

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.960
<v Speaker 1>All of our prosperity and all of good fun stuff

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>out there, and all the systems that we benefit from

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>every day, they all start to crumble if we don't

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>have rule of law and we are all responsible as individuals,

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:57.199
<v Speaker 1>as human beings for our actions. There is no license

0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to loot or riot or attack. And getting rid of

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 1>cops is the dumbest thing I have ever heard in

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a public policy debate. It's honestly the stupidest thing I've

0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>ever heard. What are we going to do? Then? We're

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna start sending in social workers? Have they thought this through?

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>Do they think that unarmed social workers are going to

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 1>want to be involved in violent domestic disputes? You're going

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to send in a social worker if somebody's calling the

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:28.959
<v Speaker 1>police because they're worried that there could be a drive

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>by in their neighborhood. I'm glad the social worker will

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.920
<v Speaker 1>be there to say, hey, let's all be nice to

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>each other while the bullets are flying over their heads.

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Could it be any dumber? No, But this is where

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:47.319
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat Party is now, reckless demagoguery, brainwashing and stupidity

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>on a national scale to pretend they care so much

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>about minority communities. You know, all these MSNBC anchors who

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.400
<v Speaker 1>are millionaires, who live in very safe areas, who send

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>their kids to private schools, they're the first ones to

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 1>tell you, Oh, but you know, we don't need so

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.079
<v Speaker 1>much police. Really, they should spend a few nights in

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the highest crime areas of major cities, especially these days,

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>and walk around the streets and see how they feel

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>about cops after that. I have a feeling it would

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>change their tunes. But it's just a bunch of virtue

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>signaling cowards, just reveling in their demagoguery. That's what they do,

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's what they care about. The full text of

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>of of what of your requests? Uh? And UH make

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>sure that you know we sit down and and go

0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 1>through it and see how we can implement. I don't

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>believe that officers need to necessarily have weapons. Uh, you know,

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 1>every time they they're they're making a traffic stop or

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>or engaged in situations that don't necessarily call for uh

0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>for weapons. We know that are other many other jurisdictions

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>or even around the world where that is, you know,

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:09.800
<v Speaker 1>necessarily the case it's not needed. So that's the mayor

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, which, as I understand it has

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 1>been a place that's very much deteriorated to the last

0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>ten or fifteen years and much higher crime. And this

0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>is this is someone who has a public platform, has

0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>public power and trust, who's saying something that is just

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>is just shockingly stupid, but also somewhat commonplace these days

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>to say things that no rational person would think is

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 1>a good idea. Yes, because we have we've had a

0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 1>major surge in violent crime in the country last year.

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Now's the time, in a country with hundreds of millions

0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>of firearms in circulation already, now's the time to tell

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 1>cops do your jobs, but don't be armed. That's what

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the guys saying. Yeah, for traffic stops, don't don't be armed. Um,

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 1>perhaps the this individual doesn't spend much time on the internet,

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 1>he would know that a New Mexico State Police officer,

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:10.920
<v Speaker 1>darry And Jarrett, was murdered just over the weekend. You

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't You didn't hear a lot about this one. Not

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of solidarity marches, and not a lot of

0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>people walking around trying to raise awareness about the risk

0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 1>that law enforcements. Law enforcement takes. Omar Felix Queva had

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>a rifle and executed Officer darry and Jarrett at close

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 1>range during a routine daylight traffic stop. But sure, let's

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>give our cops even less of a chance anytime they

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 1>pull over somebody who has an outstanding warrant for a

0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 1>violent crime, like, oh, that's right. As we've now found out,

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 1>because the stories are never accurate in the early hours

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>about the victims. When BLM decide that somebody is one

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of their hallowed victims, one of the one of the

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>martyrs of the movement, the initial story are never really

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>true about their background. That that's always the case. There's

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 1>there's this you know, we at first it's usually the

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>person's you know, a family man, an honor student and

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 1>everything else. And then when we say, well, hold on

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 1>a second, this person actually, in the case of George Floyd,

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>for example, held a gun to a pregnant woman's belly

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>during a home invasion. They said, that doesn't matter. Well,

0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 1>it mattered when we had all these photos of somebody,

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, either in their high school graduation cap and gown,

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 1>or when we're being told that they were an honor

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>student or a family man, or a hard working person

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>or whatever whatever it is, that's all to be said.

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.200
<v Speaker 1>But then we find out the person either resisted or

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>rest had a long criminal history, had a violent criminal history.

0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>In the case of Dante Right, the individual, this individual

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>held a gun to a woman and tried to rob

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred dollars from her. Okay, that's that, you know,

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 1>arm armed robbery. But if you talk about this so

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you're you're it's a problem and understand this. That doesn't

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>change anything about the culpa bill of the officer, Officer Potter,

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 1>but it does affect the narrative and the perception of

0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>how these events affect society, of how people should view

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 1>these these situations. Same thing where you bring up, you know,

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 1>resisting arrest, it is possible to say, don't resist arrest, Comma,

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and this officer made a terrible mistake. Those are both true. Statements.

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>You should not resist arrest, you should not violently fight

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.640
<v Speaker 1>with cops when they're trying to rescue, and you, if

0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you're a cop, you gotta be able to discern, even

0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 1>in very tense moments, between your taser or your fire

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.240
<v Speaker 1>or or else. You shouldn't be a cop. It's that simple.

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I remember when you know, when I was, when I

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 1>was overseas, it was just on all the basis. I

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.080
<v Speaker 1>mean an a D. If you got an and I

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.200
<v Speaker 1>mean an a D out on the range, accidental discharge,

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.639
<v Speaker 1>an a D. You know, walk into the to the

0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.520
<v Speaker 1>dining hall or whatever, if you fired off around by

0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.680
<v Speaker 1>accident you or you were going home. Basically you were done,

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.919
<v Speaker 1>even if no one was hurt. So you know, they

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the It's a cardinal rule of firearms safety. And

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>obviously officer Potters is paying, in our own way, a

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.359
<v Speaker 1>very high price for this. But we're gonna we're gonna

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.919
<v Speaker 1>now disarmed It was defund police. Now it's gonna be

0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 1>disarmed police. Who's gonna want to take these jobs? I

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:18.959
<v Speaker 1>know there's a lot of law enforcement that listens to

0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:23.119
<v Speaker 1>this show all across the country, and I couldn't. I

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 1>couldn't tell them in good in good faith, Yeah, keep

0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.160
<v Speaker 1>doing your job, especially if you're in a relatively high

0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:31.080
<v Speaker 1>crime area. You know, I mean, I have I have

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 1>an uncle who is a police officer in south central

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 1>for fifteen years, police officer in south central Los Angeles.

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell him to walk around without a firearm

0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and to go up to people and get involved in

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.440
<v Speaker 1>disputes and pull them over and try to write them

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>a ticket and try to you know, one of the

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>most dangerous things cops do is in fact, traffic stops.

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.199
<v Speaker 1>But you see the voices out there right now that

0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.919
<v Speaker 1>get attention for the Democrat media aren't people who actually

0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 1>know anything about law enforcement, about you four incidents. They're

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>people that appeal to the masses with their emotions. You know,

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:09.080
<v Speaker 1>they're They're the people at MSNBC who just oh, they're

0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:14.359
<v Speaker 1>just channeling all this emotion right now, But then they

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 1>say things that end up hurting people when they're implemented.

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>There are negative consequences to bad ideas. Something we always

0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>have to remember. This stuff is not without a cost.

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.159
<v Speaker 1>But the people who bear the cost are not you know,

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.640
<v Speaker 1>wealthy upper middle class journalists or well off or wealthy

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 1>TV news anchors or people who are making pr decisions

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 1>at big corporations. No, they don't pay the price. No. Instead,

0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the people that are the most likely to suffer from

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 1>violent crimes in the neighborhoods in the first place, their

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>percentages just go up. And when things get worse, and

0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:58.199
<v Speaker 1>that sense of misery and foreboding that exists. And I mean,

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I've I've spent because of my time in the NYPD,

0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:06.919
<v Speaker 1>considerable time in the actual worst neighborhoods in New York City,

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.239
<v Speaker 1>and I can tell you that it feels like a

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 1>different place than the wealthier or even just more run

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of the mill parts in terms of crime of New

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:20.359
<v Speaker 1>York City. And I wish some of these journos would

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>do the same, because maybe they would shut their mouths.

0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.439
<v Speaker 1>There's so much you're just not allowed to say about

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 1>COVID and lockdowns. It's very frustrating. As you know, it's

0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 1>been one of the things that's made me particularly angry

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:36.520
<v Speaker 1>at the big tech corporations. I mean, I think I'm

0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:40.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the most vocal anti fauci voices out there,

0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.359
<v Speaker 1>and I know there are some others, and I appreciate them.

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.479
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I feel a real solidarity with them.

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 1>But I've got to tell you, the way that big

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 1>tech has weighed in on this stuff, it's just appalling.

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>It's awful the way that they've shut down free and

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.880
<v Speaker 1>open exchange of ideas. And you know that if you've

0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.480
<v Speaker 1>tried to share your political opinions in general, these days,

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>it's really difficult to have a civil conversation. You get

0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 1>attacked by trolls, you get swarmed by lunatics. Well that's

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 1>why there's caucus Room dot com. This is a social

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:13.040

<v Speaker 1>in your neighborhood, no bots or trolls. It's a great

0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.320

<v Speaker 1>in your area. Caucus Room is made by conservatives for conservatives.

0:21:56.080 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>listeners just like you Caucus room dot com. Let's talk

0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:02.879
<v Speaker 1>about if you have received the J and J vaccine.

0:22:02.920 --> 0:22:05.480
<v Speaker 1>A lot of folks are probably wondering what should I do,

0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:08.400
<v Speaker 1>what should I look out for. What's your advice to them? Well,

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the first bit of advice is really don't worry very

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.160
<v Speaker 1>much because, just as we've said, it's a very very

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.320
<v Speaker 1>rare event. That's the first thing. The second thing, the

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:21.760
<v Speaker 1>bracket of time when this occurs was between six and

0:22:21.840 --> 0:22:25.439
<v Speaker 1>thirteen days, so it's between one and two weeks. So

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 1>if you've got your vaccine several weeks ago, then it

0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:32.200
<v Speaker 1>makes it even less likely that you should have any

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 1>concern at all. If you've had it within a few days,

0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>just stay heads up for symptoms severe headache, abdominal pain,

0:22:39.359 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 1>chest pain, things like that. But again underscoring Savannah, it

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 1>is a very very rare event, so you don't want

0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:51.159
<v Speaker 1>people who've just received the vaccine to be overly worried

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 1>about this. This is a rare occurrence. The pause is

0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:57.680
<v Speaker 1>just as an abundance of caution to really scope out

0:22:57.720 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the situation a little bit more closely. The pause is

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>an abundance of caution. You know, you got to mitigate

0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:09.960
<v Speaker 1>because there could be a diminution of the parabellic upswing

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>of the hypotheses of the Isosceles triangle. And you know,

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I really do feel like sometimes this guy is just

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:20.640
<v Speaker 1>broke it into a few high school textbooks and wants

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:22.679
<v Speaker 1>to just throw out a bunch of a bunch of

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>science sounding jargon, math and science jargon at us. You know,

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 1>when you have Savannah, you get the shot, and when

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the photosynthesis kicks in and you have the oxo ribo

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:40.119
<v Speaker 1>nucleic acid that is a part of the overall you

0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>know Dalwinnian notion of it. Just just blabber right that.

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 1>But people go home, doctor Foucher, You're so smart. Doctor

0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Foucher's so smart. He's such a smart man. What are

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 1>we doing? So now it's don't worry. Yesterday was pause

0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine. Now it's don't worry. And I just want

0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to say when I tell you guys, because I'm thinking

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:00.680
<v Speaker 1>about this all the time, and I know I get

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:02.399
<v Speaker 1>I get a lot of feedback from you all, and

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 1>I want the feed. I want you to tell me

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>what you think about what we're doing here. You you

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:08.919
<v Speaker 1>are this show. This show is for you, and I

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:12.480
<v Speaker 1>want to know what you're thinking. So send us an

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.000
<v Speaker 1>email at Team Bucket, iHeartMedia dot com, or send me

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.640
<v Speaker 1>a message on Facebook or Instagram. Just type in Buck

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Sexton on what comes up, send a message. I see it.

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Producer Mark sees it too, but I see it. And

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:25.920
<v Speaker 1>because on the vaccines, I want to be very clear,

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to you know, push any water, bully

0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 1>anyone in anything. People say, Buck, why would you get

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine You've already had COVID? And I say, I know,

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:39.640
<v Speaker 1>isn't it so stupid? The only reason that I would

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 1>get that. I'm scheduled to get a vaccine in about

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:45.879
<v Speaker 1>sixty days, so in a while, because I do it,

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I've got anybodies in my system, I've already had the virus,

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 1>and in a short period of time, I'm going to

0:24:50.080 --> 0:24:55.679
<v Speaker 1>introduce that same immune response through this, you know, genetic

0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.040
<v Speaker 1>coding response or whatever. I mean, very just you know,

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>very few people really understand how these vaccines actually work.

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>This is not your standard. This isn't putting just dead

0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>virus into your system. This is something else. But the

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 1>reason that I've said I would do it, And I'm

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:12.440
<v Speaker 1>not trying to push anybody else here. I'm just saying

0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:15.840
<v Speaker 1>because I in New York, where I currently live and

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 1>my family is, and where I work, they have already

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 1>started to experiment with vaccine passports, and you know, so

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm willing to take the risk more so so I

0:25:25.600 --> 0:25:27.840
<v Speaker 1>can live a normal I can live a normal life.

0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:29.840
<v Speaker 1>But I agree with some of you say, well, isn't

0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:32.399
<v Speaker 1>that a little bit? I mean, I'm so anti mask

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>as you know, outdoor masking moronic, zero reason to do that.

0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:42.159
<v Speaker 1>Indoor masking and limited circumstances at sometimes you know, maybe,

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:46.119
<v Speaker 1>but in general, I mean, I think mask mandates don't work.

0:25:46.280 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>I think mask mandates are a disaster. And I think

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:52.200
<v Speaker 1>that masking is the initial knee bending that leads to

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.440
<v Speaker 1>all this other madness in our society. I actually shared

0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>this was actually this is great I shared on Twitter today.

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:01.800
<v Speaker 1>If you have probably you also all should be following

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>me on Twitter please if you're not already, And it's this.

0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 1>It was almost exactly a year ago. It was like

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a year and a week ago, there was a piece

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:14.560
<v Speaker 1>in the Washington Post. I'm just waiting for this too.

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:18.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm just waiting for this to be taken down or

0:26:18.320 --> 0:26:20.919
<v Speaker 1>for social media companies to come after me. This is

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the right below the democracy dies in darkness. You know

0:26:23.800 --> 0:26:28.200
<v Speaker 1>header in the Washington Post everyone wore flu masks during

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eighteen I'm sorry, everyone wore masks during the

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:38.880
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighteen flu pandemic. They were useless. That was in

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Post a year ago. Everyone wore masks during

0:26:44.080 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen eighteen flu pandemic. They were useless. That was

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the headline, not that they didn't work that well. Useless.

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.679
<v Speaker 1>And you know what that line is. That line is

0:26:54.760 --> 0:27:00.439
<v Speaker 1>taken from the considered this seminal work work of history

0:27:00.920 --> 0:27:04.399
<v Speaker 1>on the Spanish flu pandemic of nineteen eighteen. The author

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>just writes, Look, they did this everywhere. Didn't do a

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 1>damn thing, but people were obsessed, and there was mask fashion,

0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 1>and there was you know, mask all kinds of stuff. Right. Oh,

0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, how do you where does your where should

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you shave your mustache? A lot of mustaches back? Then?

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Where should you save shave your mustache so that it

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 1>doesn't affect your mask and all this stuff, and they

0:27:27.560 --> 0:27:31.880
<v Speaker 1>were useless, was the quote. Now, if I say that today,

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:35.360
<v Speaker 1>I get kicked off social media and treated like a troglodyte.

0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>But this was in the Washington Post, friends, a year ago.

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:44.000
<v Speaker 1>And what's amazing is the sheeple out there, mate, mate,

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:47.120
<v Speaker 1>they they see stuff like this. And when I point

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:48.760
<v Speaker 1>this out to them, or I of course show them

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 1>the Fauci lines from a year ago, you know, you

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.280
<v Speaker 1>know it may it may actually make you feel a

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:57.680
<v Speaker 1>little better, but you know, when you're out in the crowd,

0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you know it doesn't really do anything to wear a mask.

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 1>They say, well, but the science has changed, Oh yeah,

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:11.040
<v Speaker 1>how and then they point to some uh, some not

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:15.920
<v Speaker 1>real world study they point to essentially spray water through

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 1>a mask and saying, well, there's less vapor. So since

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:23.080
<v Speaker 1>there's less vapor, there's there's you know, it's effective, it's

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:27.199
<v Speaker 1>stopping the virus. And then then you show them all

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.119
<v Speaker 1>these CDC studies. There was a big one, I think

0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.640
<v Speaker 1>it was up in Canada because they say, well, doctors

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:33.960
<v Speaker 1>to wear them, and you say, okay, well, the CDC

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:38.400
<v Speaker 1>study fromp in Canada about masks during flu season for dentists,

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 1>specifically for for dental personnel, showed the dentists who wear

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 1>masks during procedures versus those who don't. No change in

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the transmission for those healthcare personnel during the flu season.

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:50.640
<v Speaker 1>And it was a pretty big So that's a real

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>world study. And there's tons of this out there if

0:28:53.400 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to see it. The Danish mask study. Oh well,

0:28:56.560 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 1>yeah that you know. Sure it didn't stop people from

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>getting it, but you could not give it to another

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:04.760
<v Speaker 1>person if you have it on and they have it.

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 1>There's always there's always an excuse, right, there's always an excuse.

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:11.840
<v Speaker 1>The CDC numbers on mask mandates within the margin of error.

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 1>That's how well the mandate works. But you can't bring

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:17.240
<v Speaker 1>this up. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not letting this go

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:20.719
<v Speaker 1>because friends, they're they're trying to change the wiring in

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>our brains with all this stuff. They are making you

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:29.479
<v Speaker 1>a compliant little stooge. And I hate it. I resent

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.760
<v Speaker 1>it every They do it to me too, because you'll say, well, buck,

0:29:32.760 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 1>do you wear a mask in New York? I have.

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 1>They will evict me from my home if I don't,

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I will be kicked out of the grocery store. I

0:29:42.760 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 1>will I will get you know even more dad bod

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 1>going on here without even being a dad. Because I

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>can't go to the gym, all these things will happen.

0:29:49.880 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I have no I have no choice. And if they

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 1>call the police, the police will enforce against me. They

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>will arrest me. Right so I am. I am not

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 1>conceited to their argument. I'm conceding to their superior force.

0:30:03.160 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I tried. I went maskless for months and months and months.

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Then I was told deal man, everyone's complaining about you.

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:10.720
<v Speaker 1>This is getting out of control. Oh and by the way,

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:12.800
<v Speaker 1>since I got the virus two months ago when I

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:15.360
<v Speaker 1>was walking around with no mask on, was I ever infected? No?

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Did I ever put anyone at risk? We know for

0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>a fact scientifically no. I did not. Never, there was

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>no risk, zero risk. But you're not allowed to see

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>once again, you're not allowed to observe. There's a war

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 1>on observation right now that the Democrats and the left

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 1>are waging. You don't know what you're seeing, you don't

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 1>know what's really happening. You're not allowed to even say,

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:44.560
<v Speaker 1>hold on a second, they're pausing a vaccine. If you

0:30:44.680 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 1>had called for a vaccine, pause on your Facebook page

0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:51.880
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago. If you had said, guys, I just

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I've read some data on Johnson and Johnson, and you

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 1>know something's going on here. We got to really look

0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:01.600
<v Speaker 1>into this boom. Facebook would lock you out, They shut

0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:04.640
<v Speaker 1>you down, they take your account away. Think of the

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 1>effect that that has on our conversation about this. This

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 1>is the new public square. They are the phone company,

0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, circa nineteen fifty. This is how people communicate,

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:23.880
<v Speaker 1>and they control it. The biggest enemies of free speech

0:31:23.960 --> 0:31:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and free expression in the country right now are the

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:33.520
<v Speaker 1>most powerful platforms of communication in the world. This is

0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 1>the great irony we're dealing with. But the point of

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:40.120
<v Speaker 1>making about the vaccines is does that change the thinking

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 1>at all for the people that believe that they have

0:31:42.080 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 1>all this figured out? Does that change the hubrists and

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the arrogant mentality of those who say, oh, I just

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:53.720
<v Speaker 1>listen to the science, I just listen to Fauci. How

0:31:53.720 --> 0:31:55.760
<v Speaker 1>many times did those guys get to be wrong before

0:31:56.120 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a normal person would say, maybe something's up here now.

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I saw, for example, the Tucker monologue. Lass Tucker did

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.000
<v Speaker 1>a monologue last not on this, and he kept saying,

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:11.440
<v Speaker 1>why do they want us to wear masks after we're vaccinated.

0:32:11.960 --> 0:32:14.240
<v Speaker 1>He posed this question, and he didn't get to I

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:19.400
<v Speaker 1>know what their answer is. Even after vaccination, there's a

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>tiny percentage of people who could still get infected, five

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 1>percent by the Fiser numbers, whatever it is. And so

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 1>if it saves just one life, this is the this

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 1>is the well spring of all the tyranny. If it

0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:35.760
<v Speaker 1>could theoretically save just one life, you have to deal

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 1>with this for our health policy. Faucism. The fauci id

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 1>consensus is the speed limit must now be ten miles

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 1>an hour. That is what has happened in this country,

0:32:47.080 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 1>where the speed limit now must be ten miles an hour.

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't like it, you can't drive, you

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>can't leave your home, actually, and we'll arrest you if

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you do anything else. It's not the country I want

0:32:57.440 --> 0:32:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to live in. It's not a country I'm going to

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:06.400
<v Speaker 1>accept either. And the grubby little fingers of the states

0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>authoritarian democrats here, they're not taking they're not taking their

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>hands off the wheels of power. They're not going to

0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 1>do it. They want to control you. They want to

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:18.760
<v Speaker 1>keep this going as long as possible. They like you compliant,

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>they like you scared, stay home, wear a mask, don't

0:33:23.040 --> 0:33:26.040
<v Speaker 1>see people, do what we tell you, get whatever shots

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:31.240
<v Speaker 1>we tell you. Do you think that that upsets the

0:33:31.560 --> 0:33:34.600
<v Speaker 1>nanny state leftists? Or is this a dream come true

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the power they have. It could be

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 1>that possibly someone who's had COVID like myself, could they

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 1>be reinfected. They're very small numbers of it, But guess what,

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 1>almost none of them are really getting sick. You're you're

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 1>not reading stories of oh my goodness, thousands of people

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:51.960
<v Speaker 1>being reinfected, they're in the hospital and they're dying. Those

0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 1>stories don't exist. You'll read about a random, very rare

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 1>person getting reinfected or getting infected when they've been vaccinated.

0:33:59.280 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 1>But the good is that even if you got infected

0:34:02.520 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 1>from COVID, after you've been vaccinated, you have some immunity,

0:34:06.000 --> 0:34:10.719
<v Speaker 1>a partial immunity, and it lessens the degree or significance

0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:14.480
<v Speaker 1>of the disease. So almost everything out there's good news.

0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>This is why I so much think doctor Fauci should

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:22.000
<v Speaker 1>be voluntarily removed from TV, because what he says is

0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:25.480
<v Speaker 1>such a disservice and such fear monitoring, and almost all

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 1>of what he says isn't even matched by the science

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 1>of his own institute. So really what we need to

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:33.359
<v Speaker 1>do is here from a lot of different experts, and

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:35.839
<v Speaker 1>then people need to realize that the risk factors are

0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:38.840
<v Speaker 1>different depending on your age. You mentioned that Johnson and

0:34:38.920 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Johnson vaccine very very safe, and if you're over eighty,

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:45.440
<v Speaker 1>without question, it's the only one you can get, take it.

0:34:45.480 --> 0:34:48.000
<v Speaker 1>If you're over seventy, take it, But it does depend

0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:50.479
<v Speaker 1>on your age. If you're under twenty five, the chance

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:52.680
<v Speaker 1>of dying from this is one in a million. So

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.839
<v Speaker 1>your risk factors do depend on whether you judge whether

0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:58.080
<v Speaker 1>you take a vaccine. It's not the same for everybody.

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Everything Senator round Paul saying there is provably demonstrably true.

0:35:04.400 --> 0:35:05.960
<v Speaker 1>But do you ever do you ever hear this? I mean,

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 1>they've there have been teachers unions that as part of

0:35:08.560 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>their demands, and the teachers unions have just shown what

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a disgraceful, disgusting mess they are in the past year.

0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Just just thuggish democrat political machinery. And it's all the

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:24.680
<v Speaker 1>teachers unions are good for. But the truth here, with

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:27.440
<v Speaker 1>everything that's going on, the truth of the situation is

0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:31.799
<v Speaker 1>that we can't have real conversations about risk. We can't

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 1>actually have real discussions about who's at risk and who's not.

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:39.160
<v Speaker 1>They wanted children, Teachers Union wanted children to get vaccinated.

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Why kids, The kids are fine. But what they do

0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is they say that's not true. Kids can still get it.

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:48.799
<v Speaker 1>And they'll point and they'll say, look, you know, one

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:52.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred children have died believed to have died from COVID

0:35:52.600 --> 0:35:56.920
<v Speaker 1>in the United States. Okay, I mean that's one hundred

0:35:56.960 --> 0:35:59.520
<v Speaker 1>children out of a country three hundred and thirty million people.

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:03.200
<v Speaker 1>There are viruses that you know, that are that are

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:05.439
<v Speaker 1>floating around in the air all the time that kids

0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:08.080
<v Speaker 1>can still get they can die. We have to accept

0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that there's not a zero mortality future from COVID. That's

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 1>not realistic. That's not gonna happen, just like there's not

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a zero mortality from flu future for the world. So,

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:21.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the people that have pushed for all this stuff,

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the lockdowners, you gotta understand what their next moves are

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be. We keep seeing these reports, Oh, the vaccines

0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:35.000
<v Speaker 1>are effective for six months. Okay, what happens then we're

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:37.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna are we supposed to go through this every year? Oh?

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you can't actually see people and do things.

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.799
<v Speaker 1>You gotta get the second and then what about when

0:36:42.800 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the booster, you know, doesn't work on the new variant

0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:47.439
<v Speaker 1>or something. I mean, you're just gonna We're all gonna

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:49.879
<v Speaker 1>go insane. I mean, we're all just gonna completely lose

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:52.000
<v Speaker 1>our minds over this stuff over time. And I think

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people have. I believe that mass media

0:36:56.000 --> 0:37:00.320
<v Speaker 1>has combined to create combined with mass hysteria to create

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 1>the environment we're currently living in. You've never had so

0:37:05.280 --> 0:37:08.080
<v Speaker 1>many hysterics able to reach out and talk to so

0:37:08.120 --> 0:37:10.560
<v Speaker 1>many other hysterics that at one point in human history

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 1>speaking of hysterics, here's CNN with their I guess he's

0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 1>still unpaid as a contributor. But doctor Fauci, who really,

0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you know he's I know he's at the National Institute

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:24.960
<v Speaker 1>of Allergy and Infectious Disease, but he really should just

0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:30.480
<v Speaker 1>be chirond as favorite CNN and MSNBC guest, because they're

0:37:30.520 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 1>also emotionally and professionally invested in this guy not being

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:37.719
<v Speaker 1>a little tyrannical moron, which I think he is. But

0:37:37.800 --> 0:37:40.400
<v Speaker 1>here's CNN talking about what Tucker said on his monologue,

0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:43.320
<v Speaker 1>which I brought up before Play six TV personality Tucker

0:37:43.360 --> 0:37:46.959
<v Speaker 1>Carlson said on TV about vaccines in general. He said,

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:50.400
<v Speaker 1>if the vaccine, if vaccines are effective, there's no reason

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:52.800
<v Speaker 1>for people who have received the vaccine to wear masks

0:37:52.880 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 1>or avoid physical contact. So maybe it doesn't work and

0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:59.520
<v Speaker 1>they're simply not telling you that. Let me repeat that again.

0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:04.320
<v Speaker 1>So maybe it doesn't work and they're simply not telling

0:38:04.360 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 1>you that. What do you have to say to Tucker Carlson. Yeah,

0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:11.719
<v Speaker 1>that's just the typical crazy conspiracy theory. Why would we

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:14.239
<v Speaker 1>not tell people if it doesn't work? Look at the data.

0:38:14.400 --> 0:38:18.080
<v Speaker 1>The data are overwhelming. In the three vaccines that have

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:22.799
<v Speaker 1>been approved for use in an emergency use authimization, the

0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Jay and Jay, the Fiser, and the Moderna. You had

0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty thousand, forty four thousand, and forty thousand people in

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a clinical trial with an overwhelming signal of efficacy. So

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any idea what he's talking about. How

0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:41.439
<v Speaker 1>dangerous is it for a TV personality like that, who

0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:44.399
<v Speaker 1>does have an audience of millions to speculate about something

0:38:44.440 --> 0:38:47.760
<v Speaker 1>like that. Well, it's certainly not helpful to the public

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:50.719
<v Speaker 1>health of this nation or even globally. You know, I

0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:53.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want to get into arguments about Tucker Carlson, but

0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:57.040
<v Speaker 1>to me, it's just, you know, it's counter to what

0:38:57.080 --> 0:39:00.160
<v Speaker 1>we were trying to accomplish, to protect the safe, the

0:39:00.239 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>end the health of the American public. Why can't that

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 1>little fascists tell us when we can stop wearing masks?

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:09.480
<v Speaker 1>When give us a date or give us the numbers,

0:39:09.480 --> 0:39:11.960
<v Speaker 1>give us the metrics. Why can't give up the control?

0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Better to attack Tucker Carlson for asking that was a

0:39:15.440 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 1>question that he brought up in the context of a

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:20.480
<v Speaker 1>fifteen minute monologue where it's clear he's not anti vaccines

0:39:20.520 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and he's not saying they don't work. He's just trying

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to work through a problem that we're not allowed to

0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:29.000
<v Speaker 1>really talk about because the lockdowners are authoritarians. And I'm

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 1>actually the process of trying to find an employee or

0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:35.640
<v Speaker 1>two to join some of my Freedom Hunt activities. And

0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:39.239
<v Speaker 1>it's a tough out there right now because you've got

0:39:39.239 --> 0:39:41.640
<v Speaker 1>people that don't necessarily know if they're could be able

0:39:41.640 --> 0:39:43.279
<v Speaker 1>to stay remote in their job. I mean, they like

0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:46.160
<v Speaker 1>it if they don't. There's all this change that's currently

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 1>going on, and I think we're just beginning to see

0:39:49.320 --> 0:39:54.560
<v Speaker 1>how much our work life balance has really shifted as

0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a result of these pandemic policies, but it's it's getting

0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:00.440
<v Speaker 1>more complicated all the time, and that just reminds me

0:40:00.520 --> 0:40:04.640

0:41:10.640 --> 0:41:15.840
<v Speaker 1>announced that he plans to pull US troops out of

0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Afghanistan by September eleventh of this year, clearly noting the

0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:25.200
<v Speaker 1>symbolism here of that day and an end to a

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:30.759
<v Speaker 1>war that has raged for twenty years. We have been

0:41:31.239 --> 0:41:33.920
<v Speaker 1>deployed in Afghanistan. We've had US military in Afghanistan for

0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty years. And I remember I was in Afghanistan a

0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 1>decade ago. The situation then was largely the same as

0:41:42.120 --> 0:41:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the situation now, except there were far more troops in

0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:47.799
<v Speaker 1>the country at that time. But the same things you'd

0:41:47.840 --> 0:41:51.840
<v Speaker 1>hear about how the Taliban is on the offensive, and

0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the central government is corrupt and weak in an effective

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:57.680
<v Speaker 1>and their forces toe to toe without US support, won't

0:41:57.680 --> 0:42:00.319
<v Speaker 1>be able to go won't be able to go up

0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:05.359
<v Speaker 1>in battle against the Taliban without losing. And I just

0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 1>remember thinking that everyone that I knew who was handling

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:10.920
<v Speaker 1>that issue at the at the highest levels honestly of

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the intelligence community in the US government, was very negative

0:42:16.120 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 1>on the long term product that was in twenty ten

0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:24.000
<v Speaker 1>very negative on the prospects of Afghanistan's future and felt

0:42:24.000 --> 0:42:26.440
<v Speaker 1>like we could stay and just keep holding it together,

0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:30.799
<v Speaker 1>or eventually realized that enough is enough. Well, the same

0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:33.840
<v Speaker 1>voice is the very hawkish Republican voices that you always

0:42:34.000 --> 0:42:37.359
<v Speaker 1>hear on this point are out there telling you, oh,

0:42:37.560 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>we we shouldn't do it. Here here he is the

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:42.920
<v Speaker 1>guy I've never seen. Lindsey Graham has never seen a

0:42:42.960 --> 0:42:45.200
<v Speaker 1>troop deployment or a war that even like, as far

0:42:45.200 --> 0:42:46.680
<v Speaker 1>as I can tell, I don't know what it is

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:51.080
<v Speaker 1>with this guy always looking to bomb another country and

0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:54.160
<v Speaker 1>show what it's wrong. So it gets applause from the

0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:57.600
<v Speaker 1>think tank set on K Street in DC. Here he

0:42:57.760 --> 0:43:04.040
<v Speaker 1>is play eleven. Biden's become an incredibly destabilizing American president.

0:43:04.960 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 1>He took a border that was pretty calm and turned

0:43:08.080 --> 0:43:11.640
<v Speaker 1>it into chaos. The Mid East had been transformed on

0:43:11.680 --> 0:43:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Trump's watch, where the Arabs were working with Israelis and

0:43:15.239 --> 0:43:18.640
<v Speaker 1>had Iran in a box. He's taken Iran and let

0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:22.000
<v Speaker 1>him out of the box. They're talking about enriching uranium

0:43:22.040 --> 0:43:24.759
<v Speaker 1>at sixty percent now, which is a direct threat to

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:28.480
<v Speaker 1>the existence of the state of Israel. The Russians are

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:32.320
<v Speaker 1>challenging him in the Ukraine, and now he is withdrawing

0:43:32.440 --> 0:43:36.880
<v Speaker 1>forces in Afghanistan against sound military advice. To all of

0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you who are listening, you remember where you're at. On

0:43:39.080 --> 0:43:43.760
<v Speaker 1>September eleventh, two thousand and one, our military told President

0:43:43.840 --> 0:43:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Biden that if you withdraw all of our forces, al

0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Kaeda and Isis will come roaring back. Afghanistan would disintegrate

0:43:52.160 --> 0:43:55.080
<v Speaker 1>into civil war, and we can avoid all of that

0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 1>by having three to five thousand American forces making sure

0:43:59.160 --> 0:44:02.000
<v Speaker 1>that ISIS and al Kada never come back to hurt us.

0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:06.439
<v Speaker 1>He rejected that advice. Afghanistan is going to tear rate

0:44:06.480 --> 0:44:09.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty rapidly. Al Kada and ISIS are going to come back.

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:12.960
<v Speaker 1>He's paving the way for another nine eleven. Now, I

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 1>want to be very clear that I don't care that

0:44:16.760 --> 0:44:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden is a Democrat, and I don't care that

0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:22.400
<v Speaker 1>this may not be the most popular thing to say

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:26.120
<v Speaker 1>on conservative talk radio right now. I think the war

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:30.000
<v Speaker 1>in Afghanistan needs to end. I wanted Trump to end it.

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I wanted Trump to end our military presence. He did not.

0:44:35.040 --> 0:44:38.279
<v Speaker 1>I want Biden to end our military presence. I'm not

0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:39.919
<v Speaker 1>going to do this thing. I'm not going to play

0:44:39.960 --> 0:44:42.719
<v Speaker 1>this game of saying I want other men and women

0:44:42.840 --> 0:44:48.719
<v Speaker 1>down range fighting, you know, in Afghanistan when it politically

0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:54.000
<v Speaker 1>suits me. No, you know how I felt during the

0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump years, I wanted the president to end our military

0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:02.120
<v Speaker 1>involvement in Afghanistan. I am going to stand on that

0:45:02.239 --> 0:45:07.319
<v Speaker 1>same viewpoint now, all right, Otherwise what am I'm just

0:45:07.560 --> 0:45:10.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, look, I know there's so many conservatives out there,

0:45:10.320 --> 0:45:12.560
<v Speaker 1>is in the media that's just all about I mean,

0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:15.480
<v Speaker 1>just raising donor money and like, you know, maga hats

0:45:15.480 --> 0:45:18.399
<v Speaker 1>when it's popular, and then you know, oh, they're all

0:45:18.400 --> 0:45:21.440
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, you know, they're hi ekei and free

0:45:21.480 --> 0:45:24.040
<v Speaker 1>market pioneers when they think that's popular, and then back

0:45:24.040 --> 0:45:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to the maga hat they say whatever they've got to say.

0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:28.919
<v Speaker 1>You all know that I want the war in Afghanistan,

0:45:29.320 --> 0:45:31.480
<v Speaker 1>our involvement, I should say to end there. So I'm

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:33.200
<v Speaker 1>not going to pretend that that's not what I wanted.

0:45:33.360 --> 0:45:35.719
<v Speaker 1>If I wanted under Trump last year, I wanted under

0:45:35.760 --> 0:45:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Biden now, So I'm not going to do this thing

0:45:38.360 --> 0:45:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and hit him for yet. Is the border a mess

0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 1>because of Biden? One hundred percent? Everything else that I've

0:45:42.160 --> 0:45:45.799
<v Speaker 1>said about that stuff is that all stays. But I

0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:49.960
<v Speaker 1>do think the war in Afghanistan are pardon the war

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:55.080
<v Speaker 1>in Afghanistan needs to end, and I understand that that

0:45:55.280 --> 0:45:58.520
<v Speaker 1>is there's a very real possibility the Taliban will end

0:45:58.560 --> 0:46:01.560
<v Speaker 1>up taking over substantial control there. And I will tell

0:46:01.600 --> 0:46:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you right now that I will if there is a

0:46:03.480 --> 0:46:07.960
<v Speaker 1>terrorist attack plan from Afghan soil that involves the Afghan regime,

0:46:07.960 --> 0:46:11.880
<v Speaker 1>the Taliban, whatever part it may be, I will advocate

0:46:12.000 --> 0:46:18.160
<v Speaker 1>for a not a US military you know, pinprick invasion,

0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:21.120
<v Speaker 1>but scorched earth and whatever we got to do, however

0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 1>we gotta do it. Not not letting them take another

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:28.560
<v Speaker 1>generation of Americans, you know, twenty years worth of people

0:46:28.600 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 1>who are serving the in the military and wound them

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:35.399
<v Speaker 1>and kill them. And we're trying to create democracy. No, no, no,

0:46:36.840 --> 0:46:39.200
<v Speaker 1>if they if they if they poke the dragon again,

0:46:39.719 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 1>we go back breathing whatever fire we have to. That

0:46:42.680 --> 0:46:45.840
<v Speaker 1>should be our attitude. It's the way it used to be.

0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:50.239
<v Speaker 1>So it's the old approach in America when we when

0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:53.160
<v Speaker 1>someone decides that they're going to attack us, we go back.

0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:54.960
<v Speaker 1>We hit them with everything we've got until they can't

0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:58.760
<v Speaker 1>hit us anymore. And that's that. So that really should

0:46:58.760 --> 0:47:01.520
<v Speaker 1>be the attitude. I think it's not that we're going

0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:04.879
<v Speaker 1>to go rebuild other people's countries for them, and that

0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 1>has been the case for for a while. Now. Now

0:47:07.200 --> 0:47:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I understand people say it's a relatively small military presence. Yeah,

0:47:11.719 --> 0:47:14.120
<v Speaker 1>but maybe in three years it won't be relatively small.

0:47:14.160 --> 0:47:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the Taliban becomes ascended. In our three thousand troops

0:47:16.520 --> 0:47:19.239
<v Speaker 1>there's not enough. And now now we're going to get

0:47:19.280 --> 0:47:22.600
<v Speaker 1>deeper and deeper into it. You know, there is the

0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:26.200
<v Speaker 1>quagmire theory of how these things work. It's it's it's

0:47:26.239 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 1>not a lie. This can happen. Marco Ruby another, You've

0:47:30.239 --> 0:47:33.040
<v Speaker 1>got all these Republican foreign policy hawks, you know, making

0:47:33.080 --> 0:47:36.880
<v Speaker 1>sure that the raytheon stock stays where it is and

0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:41.200
<v Speaker 1>keeps going up. Here's Marco Rubio plate twelve. Well, that

0:47:41.280 --> 0:47:44.160
<v Speaker 1>was a decision that began under President Trump, and so

0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:46.600
<v Speaker 1>they've just what they've announced is that they're going to

0:47:46.640 --> 0:47:50.120
<v Speaker 1>stick with President Trump's decision with regards to Afghanistan. Look,

0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:51.759
<v Speaker 1>the outcome is going to be a terrible thing. The

0:47:51.760 --> 0:47:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Taliban's i believe, will eventually take over the country as

0:47:54.640 --> 0:47:56.320
<v Speaker 1>they were in charge before, and it's not going to

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:58.239
<v Speaker 1>be a good outcome. The flip side of it is

0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:00.680
<v Speaker 1>that I'm not sure what the pathway to a better

0:48:00.719 --> 0:48:04.640
<v Speaker 1>feature in the near term ones. And you know, given

0:48:04.680 --> 0:48:07.040
<v Speaker 1>all the other needs we're facing around the world. You know,

0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:09.520
<v Speaker 1>once President Trump made that decision, I think the die

0:48:09.560 --> 0:48:11.359
<v Speaker 1>was cast in that regarden. Do you think the US

0:48:11.440 --> 0:48:15.479
<v Speaker 1>has made enough progress on training the Afghan security forces?

0:48:15.520 --> 0:48:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I hope so. I don't have a tremendous

0:48:17.080 --> 0:48:20.920
<v Speaker 1>amount of I hope I'm wrong because of the implications,

0:48:21.040 --> 0:48:23.279
<v Speaker 1>but I don't have a lot of faith that the

0:48:23.400 --> 0:48:26.200
<v Speaker 1>current government Afghanistan will be able to survive or hold

0:48:26.200 --> 0:48:33.120
<v Speaker 1>on for long the Taliban. My personal opinion everything I

0:48:33.120 --> 0:48:36.040
<v Speaker 1>mean I know is I think the Taliban will have

0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 1>an Afghan againstand control by the Taliban again, and that

0:48:41.000 --> 0:48:43.040
<v Speaker 1>not a good outcome. But it's a direction that we're headed,

0:48:43.080 --> 0:48:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and the previous administration agreed to that. The current administration

0:48:46.960 --> 0:48:49.319
<v Speaker 1>stuck with it, and that's where we're going. I think

0:48:49.360 --> 0:48:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that's where we should go. And I'll have to revisit this,

0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe in a year, maybe in eighteen months,

0:48:55.160 --> 0:48:57.920
<v Speaker 1>because I think what Mark Rubio says here, he understands

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.040
<v Speaker 1>the basic facts and storyline of this. The gods, the

0:49:00.080 --> 0:49:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Senate Form Relation Committee. I mean, he's he's pretty he's

0:49:03.880 --> 0:49:07.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty knowledge about this stuff. Uh yeah, the Taliban will

0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:09.319
<v Speaker 1>be ascendant, and there's a chance of Taliban will take

0:49:09.360 --> 0:49:11.839
<v Speaker 1>over much, not all, but much of the country, and

0:49:11.880 --> 0:49:14.040
<v Speaker 1>perhaps they will then forward some kind of a power

0:49:14.080 --> 0:49:19.680
<v Speaker 1>sharing agreement. But it's not my problem. You know, We've

0:49:19.760 --> 0:49:21.840
<v Speaker 1>we've gone through this, right, we remember, we're rock. We

0:49:21.880 --> 0:49:23.399
<v Speaker 1>try to build a better country, and then they want

0:49:23.400 --> 0:49:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, now they want us out. And then we

0:49:26.040 --> 0:49:28.399
<v Speaker 1>had Isis and all this stuff, and we're all told, oh,

0:49:28.400 --> 0:49:31.279
<v Speaker 1>we're imperialless in America. Now we we've done this, we

0:49:31.440 --> 0:49:33.000
<v Speaker 1>try to go in and get rid of the bad

0:49:33.040 --> 0:49:38.240
<v Speaker 1>dictators and get rid of the Jihatas and build nice societies. Nope, enough,

0:49:39.239 --> 0:49:42.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I don't want anyone being sent on our

0:49:42.840 --> 0:49:46.200
<v Speaker 1>behalf as the American people, to go do this anymore.

0:49:47.080 --> 0:49:49.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, what we really need to be concerned about

0:49:49.360 --> 0:49:52.600
<v Speaker 1>is if things get really hot with China in the

0:49:52.600 --> 0:49:54.440
<v Speaker 1>next five to ten years, are we ready for that?

0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:58.839
<v Speaker 1>All right, Afghanistan is done well, we've been through this,

0:49:59.080 --> 0:50:01.560
<v Speaker 1>We've done everything that we can do. Well, we'll still

0:50:01.600 --> 0:50:03.080
<v Speaker 1>give them aid and you know, the thing that you

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:06.120
<v Speaker 1>gotta remember, there's also going to be support, back channel

0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:09.240
<v Speaker 1>support and stuff that you know, you can't talk about

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:11.799
<v Speaker 1>publicly that's going to be going on where the US

0:50:11.880 --> 0:50:15.000
<v Speaker 1>government's gonna be helping the Afghan government. That's obviously going

0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to happen, but it's just no longer going to be

0:50:18.800 --> 0:50:23.080
<v Speaker 1>our military presence holding this whole place together. And people say, well,

0:50:23.080 --> 0:50:27.360
<v Speaker 1>what about South Korea and what about Germany? The Taliban

0:50:27.400 --> 0:50:29.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't about to take over Germany. I mean, there's not

0:50:29.160 --> 0:50:32.719
<v Speaker 1>an imminent threat of war in these countries. So those

0:50:32.760 --> 0:50:36.160
<v Speaker 1>are strategic military bases with host partner nations that actually

0:50:36.480 --> 0:50:39.600
<v Speaker 1>want us for the most part, in country, and our

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:43.680
<v Speaker 1>troops are not at any risk in Germany, or or

0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:47.319
<v Speaker 1>in South Korea, or or in Japan. So that's a

0:50:47.440 --> 0:50:50.879
<v Speaker 1>very different circumstance, isn't it. If the Nazis were still

0:50:50.920 --> 0:50:54.880
<v Speaker 1>running around Germany controlling you know, the whole states, you know,

0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the Nazis were running Bavaria as the Taliban is running

0:50:58.760 --> 0:51:02.520
<v Speaker 1>parts of Afghanistan, and then you'd have a more similar circumstance.

0:51:03.440 --> 0:51:07.400
<v Speaker 1>But it's time to go, and you know, like I said,

0:51:07.560 --> 0:51:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of people change their stuff. I

0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:11.880
<v Speaker 1>know they're you know, there are people who as radio

0:51:11.920 --> 0:51:13.880
<v Speaker 1>hosts were calling Trump an idiot and he's awful, and

0:51:13.880 --> 0:51:16.600
<v Speaker 1>then they were the big Trump cheerleaders, even they were

0:51:16.640 --> 0:51:20.640
<v Speaker 1>pretending they weren't. I thought we should have ended Afghanistan

0:51:20.800 --> 0:51:23.520
<v Speaker 1>under Trump, and this is the timeline that the Trump

0:51:23.560 --> 0:51:26.080
<v Speaker 1>administration then sent out. Biden's going to stay with it.

0:51:26.360 --> 0:51:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe this is the right move, and I think

0:51:28.640 --> 0:51:31.359
<v Speaker 1>it will get ugly. I think there will be cost

0:51:31.400 --> 0:51:34.959
<v Speaker 1>to this, but it's not I couldn't sit here and say,

0:51:35.000 --> 0:51:38.799
<v Speaker 1>if you made me Secretary of Defense, I could not

0:51:38.880 --> 0:51:41.800
<v Speaker 1>sit here and say to you the American people, including

0:51:41.840 --> 0:51:43.880
<v Speaker 1>all the people listening to this who are active and

0:51:43.960 --> 0:51:47.440
<v Speaker 1>former military. We've got people in the Special Operations community

0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:49.759
<v Speaker 1>who listened to the show. We have seals, we have

0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:53.399
<v Speaker 1>sf we have Marines who listened to this show. I

0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:55.560
<v Speaker 1>could not say to them, yeah, I want you to

0:51:55.600 --> 0:51:57.239
<v Speaker 1>I want you to stay in Afghanistan. I think this

0:51:57.280 --> 0:51:59.520
<v Speaker 1>mission is worth it. And I certainly couldn't say to

0:51:59.520 --> 0:52:03.560
<v Speaker 1>any their earns, I want to put your your children

0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:07.319
<v Speaker 1>in harm's way for this mission set And so if

0:52:07.320 --> 0:52:09.600
<v Speaker 1>that's how I feel, would I send my own son

0:52:09.960 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 1>if I had one to secure Hellman Province at this point.

0:52:14.000 --> 0:52:16.120
<v Speaker 1>If I were the Secretary of Defense, no, I would

0:52:16.120 --> 0:52:20.080
<v Speaker 1>not so come with May. That's how I feel about this,

0:52:20.120 --> 0:52:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm I'm not going to trash this policy because

0:52:23.760 --> 0:52:26.720
<v Speaker 1>the Biden administration is following through on it. Our troops,

0:52:26.960 --> 0:52:29.760
<v Speaker 1>our national security is more important than those kinds of games.
