1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to 2 00:00:03,279 --> 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 Act or wherever you get 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: your podcasts. I've been right about Faucci the whole time. 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: You know that, I know that, and it's good to 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: be right. But in this case, I wish I had 7 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: been wrong because of what it has meant for the country. 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: So many people have been holding this guy up as 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: though he's the great hero of the pandemic. What we're 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: going to find out is that Fauci, based on the truth, 11 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: based on facts and numbers and reality, Fauci is somebody 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: that is worse in how he responded the pandemic than 13 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: even Cuomo and knew some of some of these idiot 14 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: governors that did a terrible job. We'll get to that, 15 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: but you know, Flag sees in his here, folks, and 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: I've been telling you about our friends at Allegiance Flag Supply, 17 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: a great American small business where the founders started the 18 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: company because they were tired of buying American flags that 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: got tangled up and just worn out really quickly when 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: they're out on display. And they really believe strongly that 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: the American flag should be made here in America. You 22 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: might be saying to yourself, A flag is a flag, 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: isn't it? Buck? No, my friends, if you've had an 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: American flag in front of your house and you've ever 25 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: experienced the constant tangling around poles or the quick deterioration 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: because of wind, rain, sun, this is where American flags 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: from Allegiance Flag Supply stand out.

I highly recommend 47 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: you dive into some of them yourself. If you get 48 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: a moment, or just listen to this show, I'll do 49 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: it for you because what you'll see is a lot 50 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: of what we've been told, including by Fauci himself, from 51 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: the beginning of the pandemic. Was not really reflective of 52 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: the conversation going on behind the scenes. A lot of 53 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: what was going on here involved things like telling colleagues 54 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: that retail masks don't really do very much, if anything. 55 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: He was aware there was a possible lab leak. There 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: was some talk of gain and function possibility in terms 57 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: of the lab leak theory. So An here's an example. 58 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: You know, now, the truth starts to come out over 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: a year into this pandemic of the guy who was 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: elevated to be essentially in charge without any meaningful oversight 61 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: without anybody being able to say, hold on a second, 62 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: who is this little clown you know here? I am. 63 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just a humble doctor who happens to have 64 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: almost stalin like authority overall of American society. And you know, 65 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: maybe I have to be on the cover of in 66 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Style magazine. Maybe I've got to have a book deal, 67 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: which we now know He's got a book coming out 68 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: as well, Expect the Unexpected. Isn't it such a clever title? 69 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: I come up with all the best things, all the 70 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: best titles. This is an email in February of twenty 71 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: twenty that I think you should you should know about. 72 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: This is this is real Freedom of Information Act request 73 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: from Anthony Fauci, National Institute of Health, and it's to 74 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: a woman named Silvia. And here's what he says, Sylvia. Quote. 75 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: spreading infection of people who are not infected, rather than 77 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you 78 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: buy in the drug store is not really effective in 79 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: keeping out virus which is small enough to pass through material. 80 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: It might provide some slim benefit in keeping out droplet droplets. 81 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: If someone coughs or sneezes on you, I do not 82 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are 83 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: going to a very low risk location. I'm sorry. Does 84 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: that Does that seem like what what we've been told 85 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: all along here about this? Does that seem like what 86 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: the storyline has been Ah, it's small enough. The virus 87 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: is small enough to pass through the mask material. This 88 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: is from doctor Anthony Fauci in February of twenty twenty. 89 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: If you've said that at any point in the past year, 90 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 1: a guy's the virus just goes through this mesh, it 91 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: doesn't actually protect you to wear this mask. And ninety 92 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: five masks give some protection. And I've always said that, 93 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: but cloth masks, bandanas, handkerchiefs a joke, absurd. That's with 94 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: Fouci was saying. But you weren't allowed to say this before. 95 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: In fact, Harvard epidemiologist Martin Coldorf I believe is his name, 96 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: had his account on Twitter suspend it for saying that 97 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: masks really don't do very much. You weren't allowed to 98 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: say this. There are so many of these emails that 99 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: I think are important for you to see. Here's one. 100 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: This comes from This is a tweet from Sarah Westwood 101 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: at the DC Examiner. Peter Dazak, who is deeply involved 102 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: both in Wuhan coronavirus research and in missing in the 103 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: public about the likelihood of a lab league, thanked Fauci 104 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: for helping dispel the myths around COVID origins and blamed 105 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: Fox News for targeting his grants. It's it's amazing, isn't it? 106 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: It says from Anthony Fauci to Peter Dazak Tony as 107 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: the R zero one grant publicly targeted by Fox News 108 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: reporters at the presidential press briefing last night. I just 109 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: wanted to say a personal thank you on behalf of 110 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: our staff and collaborators for standing up and stating that 111 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID nineteen 112 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: from a bat to human spillover, not a lab release. So, 113 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, thanks so much, Faucci. Those bad people at 114 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Fox News. This is what's going on behind the scenes. 115 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: These are the actual conversations that are going on. These 116 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: are the things that are determining health policy. But here's 117 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: my favorite of all these emails. I mean, certainly the 118 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: mask thing, the science. You gotta listen to the science. 119 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 1: Fauci says, you have to mask up. Here's one from 120 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: Christian Anderson on Friday, February thirty first, twenty twenty, to 121 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: doctor Anthony Fauci. He writes, Hi, Tony, Yes, I saw 122 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: this earlier, and both Eddie and myself are quoted in it. 123 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: It's a great article. The problem is our phylogenetic analyzes 124 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: aren't able to answer whether the sequences are unusual at 125 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: individual residues, except if they are completely off on a 126 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: philogenetic tree. The virus looks totally normal, and the close 127 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: clustering with bats suggests that bats serve as the reservoir. 128 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: The unusual features of the virus make up a really 129 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: small part of the genome genome, so one has to 130 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: look really closely at all the sequences to see that 131 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: some of the features potentially look engineered. Oh so this 132 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: was in January of twenty twenty. Some aspects of the virus, 133 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: according to a top researcher here, did look like they 134 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: had been engineered. But how is it that we had 135 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: a whole year of being told it was a conspiracy theory? 136 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: How is it that we spend all of this time 137 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: being led to believe that anybody who had questions about 138 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: mask effectiveness. Remember, you weren't even allowed to say things 139 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: like masks barely work if they work at all, which 140 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: is obviously true. Oh no, they work, Fauci says, they work. Okay, 141 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: how many times did I ask you in this show 142 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: how well do they work? If they can't tell you, 143 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: then where is the science they're basing this on. If 144 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: they're guessing if it's a good instinct, that's not the 145 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: same as being able to prove it. That's not the 146 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: same as scientific fact. That's where so much of this 147 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: just falls apart. That's where it becomes so very clear 148 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: that there was a lot of politics involved in these decisions. 149 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: This was not a straightforward situation. This was not just 150 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: whatever the science said. That's that's what was relayed to 151 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: the public. Enormously consequential and highly politicized decision making from 152 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci. And another part of this that I think 153 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: is so interesting is all the emails you see in 154 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: which Fauci's talking about you know, this celebrity or that 155 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: media outlet wants to do a profile on him, wants 156 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: to do an interview with him, wants and we know 157 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: this guy loved it because he's on TV every five minutes. 158 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: Vanity is a human constant. Unfortunately, scientists are no way 159 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: immune to it, and in fact, many scientists, I think 160 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: are more susceptible to it because they've gone through most, 161 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: if not all, of their lives being nerds who don't 162 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: get the appreciation they deserve, at least in their own minds. 163 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: So the moment that they get a taste of fame, 164 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: the moment they have power, you expect that, because they're scientists, 165 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: they're going to wield that judiciously. Of course, not some will, 166 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: very few will. Most would be just like Fauci, someone 167 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: who all of a sudden found himself going from really 168 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: unremarkable bureaucrat to the most powerful and recognizable person in 169 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: America with the possible exception of Donald Trump when he 170 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: was president, and even that sometimes felt like Fauci. Fauci 171 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: was able to override him. Fauci was critical in delivering 172 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: the presidency to Joe Biden. So he is certainly a 173 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: hero to the left. But when you look at the 174 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: email correspondence, would you have a better understanding of who 175 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: this guy is? You can see that he was part 176 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: of crafting a narrative. It was not all about facts, 177 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: it was not all about science. And they hind a 178 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: lot of this from their in their discussions in front 179 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: of the public and in the pronouncements from on high. 180 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: They got a lot wrong, and they hit a lot 181 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: when it came to information that went against their so 182 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: called consensus. Fauci should be held to account for this, 183 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: but you know it will end up happening. He will 184 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: go off into the sunset, rich and famous and a 185 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: hero to Democrats because they take care of their ideological warriors. 186 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Fauci has been, a failure in 187 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: the pandemic, a failure to keep American safe and to 188 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: speak difficult truths and to take unpopular but scientifically based positions. No, 189 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: he did what the left Democrat mob, what the collectivists, 190 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: what the quadruple maskers wanted him to do, at every 191 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: step of the way. Good for Fauci, bad for America. 192 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: And that's what you see in these emails. And yes, 193 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have egg on their face. 194 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: This was an idea that it was first put forward 195 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: by Mike Pompeio, Secretary of State Donald Trump. And look, 196 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them, 197 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: and there was because Trump was saying so much else 198 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: that was just out of control, and because he was, 199 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, making a frankly racist appeal talking about kung 200 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: flu and the China virus. His notion that put forward 201 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: that this may have or that he said flatly that 202 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: this came from that lab, was widely dismissed. But actually 203 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: there's some real reason. We don't know. By the way, 204 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: we still don't know. We absolutely don't know. But now 205 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: serious people are saying, and he's a serious inquiry. Wow, 206 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: serious people. Huh, serious people were saying all along, but 207 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: he lets you in there. That's I don't know. ABC 208 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: News is Jonathan Carl formerly a Fox News I believe 209 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: he let you in on what the corporate media's secret 210 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: is here, not really much of a secret. They were 211 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: opposed to this because Trump was for this. They were 212 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: opposed to this because it was damaging to Donald Trump 213 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: to have the whole media saying he lies, he's lying, 214 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: he's wrong, it didn't come from a lab, So that 215 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: was their motivation, the truth being accurate, and this is 216 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: not a thing of minor consequence. Don't you think it's 217 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: important to know isn't isn't the ultimate test and trace 218 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: finding out where this outbreak began and how it happened? 219 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: Isn't that more important than any other test and trace 220 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: we can really do? How can you prevent the next 221 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: outbreak if you don't know where this one came from 222 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: or what happened it? Ah? Yes, this does really matter, 223 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: doesn't It's It's not just something that you can cast 224 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: aside as scoring political points. But there's another part of 225 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: this that I find so curious and people are catching 226 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: onto this. We're also told that there was a opposition 227 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: to the lab league theory because of concerns of racism, 228 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: that if the virus escape from a Chinese lab, there 229 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: would be more racism against Chinese people, Chinese Americans, Asian Americans, whatever, 230 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: that everybody in the AAPI community would be at greater risk. 231 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: Journals really believe this. But to give you a sense 232 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: of how superficial they're thinking is, journos believe this without 233 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: stopping to think. Hold on a second, why is it 234 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: gonna create racist backlash if people think that this happened 235 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: as a result of scientific experiments in a lab, but 236 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: not if people believe as was the official narrative for 237 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: almost a year that we had millions of people die 238 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: and billions of people infected because some Chinese guys were 239 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: drinking bat soup or eating pangol and kebabs. Why why 240 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: would one result in racism but the other would not. 241 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm just that the thinking here doesn't seem to make 242 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: any sense, does it. I think it's much more It's 243 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: much easier to wrap your head around an accident at 244 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: a lab than it is for people to think, oh, well, 245 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: if people in China want to just eat exotic pets 246 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: in highly unsanitary conditions in these markets, you know that's fine, 247 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: that's a cultural tradition or whatever. No, this never made sense, 248 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: this theory, or this this approach coach to it. But 249 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: this is what they've This is what they've said, and 250 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: there's serious argument out there right now that when we 251 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: look further into this, we're going to find that there 252 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: was human recklessness, not just human error, but human recklessness 253 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: at the very heart of the COVID pandemic. Think about 254 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: what that will do. You want to talk about losing 255 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: faith in institutions, I've already lost a lot of faith 256 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: in the bureaucratic medical institutions out there, places like the 257 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: CDC and the NIH. I've lost faith in anybody who's 258 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: a blue check MD who's been out there cheerleading for 259 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: lockdowns and masks all along because other people were saying so, 260 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: and then the moment that there were BLM protests, it 261 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: all changed. Well, BLM protests are about saving lives, so 262 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: we gotta have those, even though we're at the time 263 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: they were saying human gatherings of any kind were completely unsafe. 264 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: Lives a day, that's what they told us. But what 265 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: you've seen here as well is that there's a final 266 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 1: recognition among anybody who is paying attention that there's a 267 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: mass mental illness from COVID, that there is a pandemic PTSD, 268 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: there's COVID nineteen derangement syndrome from people that have never 269 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: been sick, and many of them are vaccinated, and they 270 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: still go around acting like they should be absolutely terrified 271 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: of this. And I see this here in New York City. 272 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: I see it every day. There are still countless people 273 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: walking along the streets who are massed up outside. So 274 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: if they're worried about the virus, I have to assume 275 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: they're vaccinated. And if they're vaccinated and outside alone, walking 276 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: in fresh air, and worried about this virus. They really 277 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: should be worried about a piano falling off a rooftop 278 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: because the movers made a mistake somewhere and crushing them 279 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: like a cartoon character. Because it's about that risky. I 280 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: cannot guarantee you that if you walk down the streets 281 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: of New York City, a brick won't fall off the 282 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: facade and hit you in the head. I can't guarantee 283 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 1: you that a a moving company isn't going to let 284 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: a piano slip out the window and crush you. But 285 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: I know that you shouldn't worry about that. I know 286 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: that if you go through your life with that concern, 287 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: you're just really stealing from yourself. And it's even worse 288 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: because these panicked lockdowners also want to steal from you. 289 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: They want to steal your time, your peace of mind, 290 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: your productivity. This all comes with a cost. Doctor Scott Atlas, 291 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: formerly of the Trump COVID Task Force, had this to say, 292 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: play as far as I know, there's no evidence that 293 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 1: the vaccines don't cover the variance. I think even doctor 294 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: Fauci said that, you know so I think there's a 295 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: lot of issues here. We're not going to go for 296 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: a zero COVID world or a zero risk world. If 297 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: we do, then you better live in your lock your 298 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: doors and never come out again. I mean, that's just irrational. 299 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: And in fact, the fear, the fear inciting fear in 300 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: search of zero COVID risk is so harmful and it 301 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: just indicates so many things wrong, including it totally undermines 302 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: the trust in public health leadership. And this has really 303 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: been devastating to that I'm not sure what's going to 304 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: happen the next time we need experts. It's all true. 305 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: People should have tremendous skepticism about anyone who holds themselves 306 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: up as a as a public health expert based on 307 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: what we've seen. This is one of the legacies of Fauciism, 308 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: those who come forward who say they know and they 309 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: don't know. They say it's science, and it's really not. 310 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: And then we find out what they call science as 311 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: actually politics that has a substantial impact. That's a reminder 312 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: to everyone you better beware when someone accumulates too much 313 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: power and has no accountability. Just because they wear a 314 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 1: lab coat doesn't mean it's all going to be just 315 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: fine living at a digital age where your personal data 316 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: is always under attack, Your online privacy seems to be 317 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: a thing of the past.

Visis not white 336 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: white supremacist terrorists. Terrorism. You gotta be on the lookout 337 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: for it all the time. It's all over the place 338 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: any moment. Now, Now, are there white supremacists? Yes? Are 339 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: there white supremacist terrorists? Yes? Are they really a threat 340 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: worthy of the kind of attention and focus that they 341 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: get from the Biden administration, from the current federal government, 342 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: from this regime, No, they are not. Why do they 343 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: focus so much on this because it creates a climate 344 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: of of weaponized association of sorts. Right, you weaponize the 345 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: fact that there are right wingers who are in some 346 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: way connected through this tenuous, idealized logical thread to some 347 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,959 Speaker 1: of the extreme far right white nationalist types out there. Right, 348 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: they say, well, you're on the right. So this is 349 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: basically saying, well, if you're a mainstream Democrat who's been 350 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: voting Democrat for fifty years, and you know you're a 351 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: union worker in Ohio who's Catholic and votes Democrat, you're 352 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: the same as an Antifa lunatic who tries to burn 353 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: down at federal courthouse or burned down at church. Right, 354 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: the exact same thing. That's what they try to do. 355 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: They try to paint with this intentionally the broadest possible 356 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: brush and sweep everybody in the right in this morally 357 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: evil and from a security perspective, imminent threat of the 358 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: white nationalist terrorists. This is also why you have such 359 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: a focus on the January sixth insurrection. That's why they 360 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: call it an insurrection when it was not that. There 361 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: was no there was no serious threat or even serious 362 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: plot to overthrow the United States government by force. This 363 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: is insane, all right. If one guy with a cart 364 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: that says I am now the president of the United States, 365 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: you know, walks it through Times Square and then tries 366 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: to wrestle a police officer to the ground, that's not 367 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: an insurrection, right, There are limits on the level of 368 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: absurdity we will allow the other side to get away 369 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: with in their description of things. It was a riot, 370 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: something the left is not only comparable with and engages 371 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: with on a regular basis, but often celebrates and justifies. 372 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: We say, no, the riot was bad, breaking the laws bad. 373 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: They should not have done that. They should be punished. 374 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they should be held in solitary confinement 375 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: for months on end. Under the trumped up, pardon the phrase, 376 00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: allegation that they were really a mortal threat the United States. 377 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: It's government. I keep reading all these news headlines. They say, 378 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: the lethal riot on January sixth, the deadly riot on 379 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: January sixth. The only person who died from the riot 380 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: was a rioter. Nobody else died from the riot. But 381 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: they keep repeating this. All right, having a heart attack 382 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: two days later is not a riot induced violent death. 383 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: That's not the same thing. But they keep saying it. 384 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: Why because they need this. They have to create a 385 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: story for themselves here of the righteous left wing of 386 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: the Democrats restoring decency and normalcy to America. Keep in mind, 387 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: they're restoring decency by defining everybody who does not agree 388 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: with their agenda as being evil and worthy of suppression, 389 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: worthy of the force of the state being brought to 390 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: bear against them. This is not a recipe for a 391 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: healthy political climate. And that's putting it mildly. But this 392 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: is what we are up against. Terrorism from white supremacy 393 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. That's 394 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: what they say. Look at the way that the Democrat mindset, 395 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: that Democrat left was always underplaying and defining away and 396 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: trying to trying to minimize the threat of Islamic terrorism 397 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: in America, which for years and years was the biggest, 398 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: the biggest terrorist threat we face. It's obvious they used 399 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: to put up these graphics. I remember I was at 400 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: CNN once they did this, the number of people killed 401 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: by white supremacist terrorists versus the number of people killed 402 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: by Islamic terrorists. And they would start after nine to eleven, 403 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: so they wouldn't include nine to eleven. They would cut 404 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: that out and say, see, look at the statistics. And 405 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: then I would have to sit there and say, okay, 406 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 1: we'll hold on a second. How many Muslim Americans are 407 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: there in this country. Let's it's roughly it's roughly five 408 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: to ten million, something like that. It's two or three 409 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: percent of the population. Maybe along those lines. How many 410 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: white males are there in America it's a very large 411 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: chunk of the population by comparison, or just how many 412 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: white people or in America it's it's still a majority 413 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: of the country. So now you're talking about over one 414 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million people instead of a few million. 415 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: So when when one group I used to have to 416 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: do this analysis I would argue with people at CNN 417 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: because they would say, well, the threat for years, even 418 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: when ISIS was doing mass casualty attacks, even when we 419 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: were we were using a multi billion dollar anti terrorism 420 00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: security apparatus Post nine to eleven to deal almost exclusively 421 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: with jee hottest terrorism perhaps a better way of describing, 422 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: a better term for it, gee hottest terrorism. And when 423 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 1: you're talking about roughly one percent of the US population 424 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: that was responsible for being a community from which the 425 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 1: largest percentage of terrorism came from at that at that 426 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: period in time, right ices, So when you look at 427 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: the proportionality of this, comparing it to to you know, 428 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: right wing white America, well you're you're comparing something that 429 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: is all automatically a much a smaller percentage of the population, 430 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: a much smaller group of the population comprising a much 431 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: larger percentage of the terrorist threat. That that was the 432 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: debate during the War on Terror years that we'd have 433 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: to go through. And now I look at this and 434 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: I say, Okay, white supremacist terrorism, what really is what 435 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: really is a threat? Are they so concerned with are 436 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: they trying to stop someone from let's say the the 437 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: the Charleston church shooter, that guy that that was a 438 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: white supremacist terrorist. That's that's exactly what we're talking about here. 439 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: They're going to stop that. Is that the the focus 440 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: the federal government or is it on the January sixth 441 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: Commission and just running around and calling everybody white supremacist, 442 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: anybody who supported Donald Trump, anybody who's a Republicid who 443 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: had questions about the election, or who you know, pushed 444 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: against fought against COVID lockdown's you know, last night I 445 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: saw on Tucker's show. This is just a side note, 446 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: but I saw on Tucker's show you had the numbers, 447 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: the statistics for vaccine hesitancy, and we have all the 448 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: major media networks. They're saying it's a it's a right 449 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: wing male, white male phenomenon to not get vaccinated, when 450 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: sure enough, the BYPOC community in this country comprises well, 451 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about Latinos and African Americans have the lowest 452 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: vaccination rates still, but yeah, you go, you see on 453 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: TV all you hear about is though, you know, the 454 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: white male Republicans who won't get vaccinated. It because these 455 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: these are narratives, stories that are not true, that make 456 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: people who believe certain things feel better about themselves and 457 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: their beliefs. That's what democrats, that's what the left needs 458 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: to hear. And so now it's all about, you know, 459 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: white supremacy, and everyone's a white supremacist running around. This 460 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: is what the left says. Remember, Joe Biden is supposed 461 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: to be the great fighter against white supremacy all of 462 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: a sudden. Really he's a rich, old white guy who 463 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: does whatever advances his interest. But I'm sure he's deeply 464 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: concerned about communities of color. This is the whole This 465 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: is the whole storyline. This is what they do, and 466 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: we hear about this all the time. But they also 467 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: talk about the existential threat of climate change. These people 468 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: are nuts. No normal well adjusted Americans walking around worried 469 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: about the existential threat of climate change or worried about 470 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: the threat of white supremacist terrorism or another insurrection against 471 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: the government. But these are constants in the way the 472 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: Democrat Party talks about life in America today. There's an 473 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: obsession with race, and really with creating racial discord among 474 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: Democrats and exploiting it for their own purposes. Remember, if 475 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,479 Speaker 1: the black community did not vote over ninety percent Democrat, 476 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to win presidential election, so the 477 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: stakes here are very high. They'll say whatever they have 478 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: to say the Democrat apparatus, Joe Biden his administration. They'll 479 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: say whatever they have to say for power, because that 480 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: is the motivating principle. Everything else is just window dressing. 481 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: And the data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as 482 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are. 483 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: But they don't have lawyers, they don't have they don't 484 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: have accountants, but they have great ideas. Does anyone doubt 485 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: this whole nation be better off from the investments those 486 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: people making. I promise you that's why I set up 487 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: to National Small Business Administration that's much broader, because they're 488 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: going to get those loans. They don't have lawyers, they 489 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: don't have accountants, Biden says of black entrepreneurs. That's not true. 490 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 1: So I just why is it okay that Joe Biden 491 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: can say something so demonstrably and obviously false on this 492 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: issue and the media just goes along with it. It's 493 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: just not accurate at all. I mean, it's obviously not accurate. 494 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: There's no debate about this. There are plenty of black 495 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: entrepreneurs who have access to and use lawyers and accountants, 496 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: and very good ones at that. So what is Biden 497 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: really saying just blather, it's just pandering. It's pandering from 498 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: an old, out of touch white guy. The Democrat Party 499 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: is propping up like its weekend at Bernie's presidency. That's 500 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: what's going on. But you won't ever hear that from 501 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: the media. Why well, because they understand, they know what 502 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: the game is here, they understand what's really going on. 503 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: In fact, if you're wondering, I Barack Obama came out 504 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: and said it straight up recently that Joe Biden, mister moderate, 505 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: amtrack Joe from Scranton, his purpose is to finish the job. 506 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: As Obama says that the Obama administration started or got 507 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: going for eight years, that this really is Joe Biden 508 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: is the third term of Obama, just without Obama actually 509 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: living in the White House. Here's the former president Obama 510 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: sanging himself play eleven. And I think that what we're 511 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: seeing now as Joe Biden and the administration are essentially 512 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: finishing the job. And I think it'll be an interesting test. 513 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: Ninety percent of the folks who were there were there 514 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: in my administration. They are continuing and building on the 515 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: policies we talked about whether it's affordable, character our climate 516 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: change agenda and Paris Piece Accords, and figuring out how 517 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: do we improve the ladders to mobility through things like 518 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: community colleges. And if, as I think they will be, 519 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: they're successful over the next four years, I think that 520 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: will have an impact. A classic Obama ism too here. 521 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 1: You know, if they're successful, that will have an impact. 522 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so brilliant. Look what you litto. 523 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: If they win the game, they will probably be victorious. 524 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean, oh my gosh. Obama's a genius. It's amazing. 525 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: I know this is what we always hear. But what 526 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: he says about how many people this is just the 527 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 1: Obama administration without Obama. That's what you've got. That's what 528 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: you've got here with this Democrat Democrat apparatus. That's why 529 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: I refer to it as an apparatus. It's really not 530 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: a job about Joe Biden. It's about the people who 531 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: are around him. It's about those who are running these 532 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 1: federal agencies and and pushing the agenda of this White 533 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: House bed behind closed doors. Also on this point about 534 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: systemic racism. And remember, you know, the white supremacist terrorism 535 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: is just the the worst manifestation of the systemic racism 536 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:33,760 Speaker 1: that we are to believe is has infected every aspect 537 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: of American society. Is everywhere you get, every institution, every 538 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: agency of government, there's there's systemic racism everywhere where? Where 539 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: is it? How is it? What? How do we deal 540 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: with it all? Don't don't ask any questions, just shut 541 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: up and listen to the diversity and inclusion lecture that's 542 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: America today. Here's an Ebrahm Kendy. Want to find a 543 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: racism expert. This guy is supposed to be one of 544 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: the great experts on racism. It's made a whole career 545 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 1: out of it. Here's what it sounds like when he 546 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,759 Speaker 1: tries to explain at a conference what racism is. Play three. 547 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: You talked about the importance of defining racism. But unless 548 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: I missed it, which is possible, I didn't hear your 549 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: personal definition. Is there is there one that you would 550 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,759 Speaker 1: offer us, like, how do you define racism? Sure? So racism. 551 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 1: I would define it as a collection of racist policies 552 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: that lead to racial inequity, that are substantiated by racist ideas. Sure, 553 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 1: a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity 554 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: that are substantiated by racist ideas, And anti racism is 555 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: pretty simple using the same terms. Anti racism is a 556 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: collection of anti racist policies leading to racial anybody want 557 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:04,480 Speaker 1: to take guests equity substantiated by anti racist ideas. Ah, 558 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,839 Speaker 1: so you understand that the definition is it's whatever he 559 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: says it is, because all those other terms, well, what 560 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 1: does that mean? What's a racist policy, what's racial equity, 561 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: What's what's a you know, just racial outcome. It's all 562 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: subject to not just interpretation, to the whims of the individuals, 563 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: the high priests of the critical race theory religion, if 564 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:36,240 Speaker 1: you will, they get to determine what this really means 565 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: in practice. And that's the whole point. This is about power. 566 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: What is what is a standard definition of racism, one 567 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: that people can understand and and people could use to 568 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 1: guide their own actions in their own lives. Racism is 569 00:37:53,320 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: thinking about or treating people differently, good or bad, because 570 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: of their race. It is immoral to make distinctions based 571 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: upon skin color. It is immoral to have different legal 572 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: or personal treatment of an individual because of their of 573 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 1: the pigment in their skin. It's immoral, it's wrong. That's 574 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: a definition of racism that also can be meaningful to 575 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 1: people in terms of how to guide their own actions 576 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: and how to act in their lives. What Ibraham Kenny 577 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 1: gave you is do what I say, or else you're 578 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 1: a racist. Support the policies I want, or else you're 579 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: a racist, and thus the whole game is given away. 580 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: We're hosts of a three hour show, Meek and I 581 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: about politics. But I mean, it's not good for this 582 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: country to be talking about politics twenty four hours. Say 583 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: that's not who we are fighting about well, or even 584 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: talking about politics, obsessing about politics. People looking at MSNBC 585 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: or Fox twenty four hours a day or CNN twenty 586 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,080 Speaker 1: four hours a day. I feel like, you know, then 587 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: to Ferris Bueller, what are you still doing it? Go out? 588 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: Like do something? Get out? You know, I tell you 589 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:19,799 Speaker 1: sometimes even morning Joe has something worthwhile to say, and 590 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 1: I will admit that to you. Now, no one's watching 591 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: anything twenty four hours a day. I know that's intentional exaggeration. 592 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm not quibbling with that, but I'm just saying, obviously 593 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: that's the case. But I think that it is an 594 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: important reminder here because we've gone through a period of 595 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: time where we have been cut off from actual human contact, 596 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 1: where we've been consuming I think, so much more information 597 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: media than at any other time, and have more options 598 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: in the consumption of information media. You know, pick the 599 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: pick who you're going to give your time to, and 600 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: guard your time. One of the most important lessons we 601 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: all and I think as we get older, is how 602 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 1: how necessary it is to protect your time and not 603 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: to I mean, I have some things that I always 604 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: say to myself and I tell to those who are 605 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: close to me. Don't let the unimportant affect the important. Right. 606 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 1: This is, you know, don't don't take a you know, 607 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 1: a meeting with somebody who is going to make your 608 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: boss think you're being disloyal for having that meeting just 609 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,919 Speaker 1: because you think you're going to be a nice guy 610 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: by taking the meeting, right, you know, don't allow the 611 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: unimportant to affect the important. But also that that's the 612 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,399 Speaker 1: thing that I often say, I think, and it's true 613 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 1: in relationships, you know, don't take a phone call from 614 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: your ex wife if it or from your ex husband 615 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: if your your current husband is going to say, well, well, 616 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 1: why are you talking to that guy? You know, don't 617 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: allow things like that to creep up in your life. 618 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 1: It's very easy to do so. And not with that, 619 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,760 Speaker 1: with with having good intentions too. Oh, I just needed 620 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: to I didn't want someone to feel like I was 621 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: being rude. I can't tell you how many times in 622 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: my life I just I made a decision because I 623 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 1: didn't want to be rude, and then I ended up 624 00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: being more rude in a sense, we're more problematic, created 625 00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: an issue out of that desire to be polite not 626 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: hurt someone's feelings. Okay, I'll you know, I'll hear them out, 627 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: or i'll take this call, or i'll have this meeting 628 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, and then I have a 629 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: problem later, you know, Then all of a sudden, I 630 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: got an issue because I'm trying to be a You 631 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: can try to be a good guy or gal and 632 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: end up making mistakes that are much bigger than you anticipate. 633 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 1: So you've got to remember. And that's why I have 634 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 1: that rule, don't let the unimportant effect the important. And 635 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: then another one is just learning, and this is I 636 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,720 Speaker 1: know I got off on a tangent there, but learning 637 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,919 Speaker 1: to protect your time The one thing you can never 638 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,880 Speaker 1: get back is your time. The one thing that you 639 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: cherish more certainly as you get older, as you have 640 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 1: a more of a perspective on it, is how valuable 641 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: your time is to you. And it's possible right now 642 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: without even thinking about it. I think, more than in 643 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: any period in human history, to just waste and waste 644 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 1: and waste more time with all these these quick, fixed 645 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 1: attention grabbers. They oh, you know, turn here's another flashing light, 646 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: here's another thing to click on, here's another. Some of 647 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: that is good, some of that is worthwhile. I work 648 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: in news media. I think news and politics are important. 649 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: But it's all within it's all within a context, it's 650 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: all within a framework of you gotta make sure that 651 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 1: you turn off, don't you don't have a news channel 652 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 1: in the background all day. I don't think that's a 653 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: good idea. No matter what the news channel is, don't 654 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: have it in the background all day. Maybe if you're 655 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: at the office and you're in the workplace, that's one thing, 656 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: But I mean when you're at home, get away from it. 657 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: Shut it down, Shut it down, think about your life, 658 00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: Think about who you are, what you're doing, your relationships, 659 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: that matter to you. You know, we've now finally, I 660 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: think as a nation, we're realizing, Okay, COVID's over. Basically, 661 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: it's never really over, right. It's like saying, well, you know, 662 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,399 Speaker 1: even after the Great Influenza pandemic of nineteen eighteen, there 663 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,879 Speaker 1: were still flues. There's still people that died from a flu, 664 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: but the pandemic was over. The COVID pandemic is in 665 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:26,319 Speaker 1: this country over. There's still COVID and there's still people 666 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: who will die from but it's it's not a pandemic anymore. 667 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: And for some of us, we've been living pretty normal 668 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: lives for a while. But for others, they're finally waking 669 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: up to oh, now they have to make decisions and 670 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: determinations about how they spend their time. Now there's actual 671 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,800 Speaker 1: human interaction that they're going to have to manage and 672 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,840 Speaker 1: deal with. And for some people, I think that's going 673 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,760 Speaker 1: to be a challenge. That's going to be an issue. 674 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:56,359 Speaker 1: It's a lot easier to maintain relationships with people when 675 00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: they're just in the superficial realm of digital communication, when 676 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: you have to give somebody your presence and your attention, 677 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 1: physical presence and actual attention, not multitasking eight people in 678 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,400 Speaker 1: different text messages at once and sending out four emails 679 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 1: and all this that feels very different. So just remember 680 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 1: that it is a precious thing when you This is 681 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 1: why I always say to all of you that you 682 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 1: spend your time with me, you listen to this show. 683 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: I understand that there's there's quite literally tens of thousands 684 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: of podcasts you could listen to the Deal with Politics, 685 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 1: and those are the ones that people have heard of. 686 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there's over a million podcast total in the 687 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 1: Apple Store, just to give you a sense of it. 688 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,399 Speaker 1: But I know that if you're listening to me, you're 689 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 1: you're making the choice not to listen to a lot 690 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: of other shows. And so that's a precious thing because 691 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: I don't I don't recommend spending four or eight or 692 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: ten hours of your day in the news realm entity capacity, 693 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 1: and I think that's become far too easy for us, 694 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: And you can own almost create an escapism of despair 695 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: through news, which is not healthy psychologically. A lot of 696 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: people in America around the world created an escapism of 697 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: pandemic despair. Now, obviously they're not escaping the pandemic by 698 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,640 Speaker 1: doing this. No, the opposite. They immersed themselves emotionally and 699 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: psychologically so deeply in it that they block out. You know, 700 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 1: why haven't I talked to my brother in five years? 701 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: You know why why haven't I visited you know, my 702 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,720 Speaker 1: elderly grandparents or parents in six months? Well during the pandemic. 703 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 1: I know there are reasons for that, but you know 704 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,600 Speaker 1: what I'm saying in general, why why haven't I worked 705 00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,240 Speaker 1: harder at my job? Why haven't I lost those twenty 706 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: pounds I've been trying to lose for the last ten years. 707 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 1: You know, you can start to use the distraction of 708 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:56,239 Speaker 1: the world collapsing all around you through news, which is 709 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: going to take a focus on the negative as a 710 00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 1: means of avoiding what really matters to you in your 711 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 1: day to day life and what you can control. So yes, 712 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 1: spend your time with me, Listen to this show, and 713 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,279 Speaker 1: then you know, that's it. Maybe maybe one or two 714 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 1: news shows if you want at night before you go 715 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: to bed, and you know, a scan of a newspaper 716 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 1: headlines if you will, But that's it. Don't get dragged 717 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: into this, because I do believe that there is a 718 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,839 Speaker 1: real mental health crisis in this country that's being made 719 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: worse by social media that's being made that has been 720 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,759 Speaker 1: made much worse by the lockdowns, and then just by 721 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: this Democrat machinery of constant hysteria out there about the 722 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: insurrection and about all the white supremacist terrorists and the 723 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,640 Speaker 1: institutional racism and the killer cops and all the you know, 724 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: all these just completely exaggerated threats to America, to Americans 725 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,560 Speaker 1: in their day to day lives. Um, it's it's easy 726 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,719 Speaker 1: to start to feel down about it. And I know 727 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,760 Speaker 1: for a lot of you who got used to having 728 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 1: there was a certain look. It was fun when Trump 729 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: was president. He was putting out entertaining tweets and he 730 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,760 Speaker 1: was engaging, and it was like never a dull moment 731 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,240 Speaker 1: in America with the Trump presidency going on. Now there's 732 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 1: just something depressing about a Biden presidency. I mean a 733 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,120 Speaker 1: lot of things that are depressing about it, but we 734 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 1: can all feel that, and in the media focus on 735 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: the negative all the time, not about the Biden presidency. 736 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: Of course, so we're depressed because Biden's the president, and 737 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: then the media wants us to think they're all these 738 00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: other horrible things going on that we have to be 739 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: so focused on that aren't caused by the Biden administration. 740 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 1: This is just my appeal to all of you. Take 741 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,319 Speaker 1: time to relax your mind and be with people who 742 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 1: matter and do it every day. Relax your mind, however 743 00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 1: that is, get away from these things, get away from 744 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,880 Speaker 1: the fixation on left right, left right, and you know 745 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 1: all the challenges of politics today, and then jump back 746 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 1: into the fray with me rested, ready refreshed. You know, 747 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 1: it's it's about striking a balance here. So you know, 748 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 1: I trash a lot of the nonsense that said on 749 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,600 Speaker 1: Morning Joe, and rightfully so, but I will tell you 750 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,960 Speaker 1: when it comes to establishing some kind of a balance 751 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 1: in your life and keeping news in its proper place. 752 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: News and information have a They have a piece of 753 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,160 Speaker 1: your day to day, but you control how much it 754 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 1: is and you keep it there. You don't allow it 755 00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,239 Speaker 1: to start creeping into you know, everything becomes political and 756 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:47,319 Speaker 1: everything is just a constant information loop. Because that that 757 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 1: addiction to the despair of news can become its own 758 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 1: escape mechanism from the things that are important in your life. 759 00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,880 Speaker 1: Right as at some level of escapism can be good, 760 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 1: but you don't want to escape into a spare as 761 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 1: a means of and this is what Democrats do with 762 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: things like climate change. Oh, it's a catastrophic it's gonna 763 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,440 Speaker 1: end the world. It's existential. I guess I don't have 764 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: to think about the fact that I'm a huge phony 765 00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: who pretends to care about, you know, the Black Lives 766 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,279 Speaker 1: Matter or movement, and really I just wanted to put 767 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,880 Speaker 1: something on my Instagram page. But oh, I don't have 768 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 1: time to think about that because the existential threat of 769 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: climate change just keeps me up at night. You see 770 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,759 Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't have time to think about 771 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:32,080 Speaker 1: how poorly I treat my coworkers are employees, because I'm 772 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: too busy being worried about about, you know, fighting systemic 773 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,600 Speaker 1: racism and police departments across the country by putting a 774 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: few hashtags on my Twitter account, right, Yeah, you see 775 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,800 Speaker 1: how that works. Central to the Democrat ethos
