Speaker 1: This is Buck's first thoughts. The news you need to
Speaker 1: get for your day in forty five minutes. Make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe on the iHeart Act or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. I've been right about Faucci the whole time.
Speaker 1: You know that, I know that, and it's good to
Speaker 1: be right. But in this case, I wish I had
Speaker 1: been wrong because of what it has meant for the country.
Speaker 1: So many people have been holding this guy up as
Speaker 1: though he's the great hero of the pandemic. What we're
Speaker 1: going to find out is that Fauci, based on the truth,
Speaker 1: based on facts and numbers and reality, Fauci is somebody
Speaker 1: that is worse in how he responded the pandemic than
Speaker 1: even Cuomo and knew some of some of these idiot
Speaker 1: governors that did a terrible job. We'll get to that,
Speaker 1: but you know, Flag sees in his here, folks, and
Speaker 1: I've been telling you about our friends at Allegiance Flag Supply,
Speaker 1: a great American small business where the founders started the
Speaker 1: company because they were tired of buying American flags that
Speaker 1: got tangled up and just worn out really quickly when
Speaker 1: they're out on display. And they really believe strongly that
Speaker 1: the American flag should be made here in America. You
Speaker 1: might be saying to yourself, A flag is a flag,
Speaker 1: isn't it? Buck? No, my friends, if you've had an
Speaker 1: American flag in front of your house and you've ever
Speaker 1: experienced the constant tangling around poles or the quick deterioration
Speaker 1: because of wind, rain, sun, this is where American flags
Speaker 1: from Allegiance Flag Supply stand out. Their flags are made
Speaker 1: from two hundred denier nylon, a material strong and durable
Speaker 1: but lightweight enough to fly nicely in a breeze. The
Speaker 1: flags are also made with mold resistant material and crafted
Speaker 1: using double needle lock stitching. In addition, when you buy
Speaker 1: their flags, that you receive their non tangle flagpole spinners
Speaker 1: that ensure your flag will spin around the pole and
Speaker 1: no longer get tangled. Allegiance Flag Supply Blink. Allegiance Flag

Speaker 1: Fauci emails drop in all over the place now thanks
Speaker 1: to a Freedom of Information Act request. I highly recommend
Speaker 1: you dive into some of them yourself. If you get
Speaker 1: a moment, or just listen to this show, I'll do
Speaker 1: it for you because what you'll see is a lot
Speaker 1: of what we've been told, including by Fauci himself, from
Speaker 1: the beginning of the pandemic. Was not really reflective of
Speaker 1: the conversation going on behind the scenes. A lot of
Speaker 1: what was going on here involved things like telling colleagues
Speaker 1: that retail masks don't really do very much, if anything.
Speaker 1: He was aware there was a possible lab leak. There
Speaker 1: was some talk of gain and function possibility in terms
Speaker 1: of the lab leak theory. So An here's an example.
Speaker 1: You know, now, the truth starts to come out over
Speaker 1: a year into this pandemic of the guy who was
Speaker 1: elevated to be essentially in charge without any meaningful oversight
Speaker 1: without anybody being able to say, hold on a second,
Speaker 1: who is this little clown you know here? I am.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just a humble doctor who happens to have
Speaker 1: almost stalin like authority overall of American society. And you know,
Speaker 1: maybe I have to be on the cover of in
Speaker 1: Style magazine. Maybe I've got to have a book deal,
Speaker 1: which we now know He's got a book coming out
Speaker 1: as well, Expect the Unexpected. Isn't it such a clever title?
Speaker 1: I come up with all the best things, all the
Speaker 1: best titles. This is an email in February of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty that I think you should you should know about.
Speaker 1: This is this is real Freedom of Information Act request
Speaker 1: from Anthony Fauci, National Institute of Health, and it's to
Speaker 1: a woman named Silvia. And here's what he says, Sylvia. Quote.
Speaker 1: Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from
Speaker 1: spreading infection of people who are not infected, rather than
Speaker 1: protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection. The typical mask you
Speaker 1: buy in the drug store is not really effective in
Speaker 1: keeping out virus which is small enough to pass through material.
Speaker 1: It might provide some slim benefit in keeping out droplet droplets.
Speaker 1: If someone coughs or sneezes on you, I do not
Speaker 1: recommend that you wear a mask, particularly since you are
Speaker 1: going to a very low risk location. I'm sorry. Does
Speaker 1: that Does that seem like what what we've been told
Speaker 1: all along here about this? Does that seem like what
Speaker 1: the storyline has been Ah, it's small enough. The virus
Speaker 1: is small enough to pass through the mask material. This
Speaker 1: is from doctor Anthony Fauci in February of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: If you've said that at any point in the past year,
Speaker 1: a guy's the virus just goes through this mesh, it
Speaker 1: doesn't actually protect you to wear this mask. And ninety
Speaker 1: five masks give some protection. And I've always said that,
Speaker 1: but cloth masks, bandanas, handkerchiefs a joke, absurd. That's with
Speaker 1: Fouci was saying. But you weren't allowed to say this before.
Speaker 1: In fact, Harvard epidemiologist Martin Coldorf I believe is his name,
Speaker 1: had his account on Twitter suspend it for saying that
Speaker 1: masks really don't do very much. You weren't allowed to
Speaker 1: say this. There are so many of these emails that
Speaker 1: I think are important for you to see. Here's one.
Speaker 1: This comes from This is a tweet from Sarah Westwood
Speaker 1: at the DC Examiner. Peter Dazak, who is deeply involved
Speaker 1: both in Wuhan coronavirus research and in missing in the
Speaker 1: public about the likelihood of a lab league, thanked Fauci
Speaker 1: for helping dispel the myths around COVID origins and blamed
Speaker 1: Fox News for targeting his grants. It's it's amazing, isn't it?
Speaker 1: It says from Anthony Fauci to Peter Dazak Tony as
Speaker 1: the R zero one grant publicly targeted by Fox News
Speaker 1: reporters at the presidential press briefing last night. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to say a personal thank you on behalf of
Speaker 1: our staff and collaborators for standing up and stating that
Speaker 1: the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: from a bat to human spillover, not a lab release. So,
Speaker 1: you know, thanks so much, Faucci. Those bad people at
Speaker 1: Fox News. This is what's going on behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: These are the actual conversations that are going on. These
Speaker 1: are the things that are determining health policy. But here's
Speaker 1: my favorite of all these emails. I mean, certainly the
Speaker 1: mask thing, the science. You gotta listen to the science.
Speaker 1: Fauci says, you have to mask up. Here's one from
Speaker 1: Christian Anderson on Friday, February thirty first, twenty twenty, to
Speaker 1: doctor Anthony Fauci. He writes, Hi, Tony, Yes, I saw
Speaker 1: this earlier, and both Eddie and myself are quoted in it.
Speaker 1: It's a great article. The problem is our phylogenetic analyzes
Speaker 1: aren't able to answer whether the sequences are unusual at
Speaker 1: individual residues, except if they are completely off on a
Speaker 1: philogenetic tree. The virus looks totally normal, and the close
Speaker 1: clustering with bats suggests that bats serve as the reservoir.
Speaker 1: The unusual features of the virus make up a really
Speaker 1: small part of the genome genome, so one has to
Speaker 1: look really closely at all the sequences to see that
Speaker 1: some of the features potentially look engineered. Oh so this
Speaker 1: was in January of twenty twenty. Some aspects of the virus,
Speaker 1: according to a top researcher here, did look like they
Speaker 1: had been engineered. But how is it that we had
Speaker 1: a whole year of being told it was a conspiracy theory?
Speaker 1: How is it that we spend all of this time
Speaker 1: being led to believe that anybody who had questions about
Speaker 1: mask effectiveness. Remember, you weren't even allowed to say things
Speaker 1: like masks barely work if they work at all, which
Speaker 1: is obviously true. Oh no, they work, Fauci says, they work. Okay,
Speaker 1: how many times did I ask you in this show
Speaker 1: how well do they work? If they can't tell you,
Speaker 1: then where is the science they're basing this on. If
Speaker 1: they're guessing if it's a good instinct, that's not the
Speaker 1: same as being able to prove it. That's not the
Speaker 1: same as scientific fact. That's where so much of this
Speaker 1: just falls apart. That's where it becomes so very clear
Speaker 1: that there was a lot of politics involved in these decisions.
Speaker 1: This was not a straightforward situation. This was not just
Speaker 1: whatever the science said. That's that's what was relayed to
Speaker 1: the public. Enormously consequential and highly politicized decision making from
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci. And another part of this that I think
Speaker 1: is so interesting is all the emails you see in
Speaker 1: which Fauci's talking about you know, this celebrity or that
Speaker 1: media outlet wants to do a profile on him, wants
Speaker 1: to do an interview with him, wants and we know
Speaker 1: this guy loved it because he's on TV every five minutes.
Speaker 1: Vanity is a human constant. Unfortunately, scientists are no way
Speaker 1: immune to it, and in fact, many scientists, I think
Speaker 1: are more susceptible to it because they've gone through most,
Speaker 1: if not all, of their lives being nerds who don't
Speaker 1: get the appreciation they deserve, at least in their own minds.
Speaker 1: So the moment that they get a taste of fame,
Speaker 1: the moment they have power, you expect that, because they're scientists,
Speaker 1: they're going to wield that judiciously. Of course, not some will,
Speaker 1: very few will. Most would be just like Fauci, someone
Speaker 1: who all of a sudden found himself going from really
Speaker 1: unremarkable bureaucrat to the most powerful and recognizable person in
Speaker 1: America with the possible exception of Donald Trump when he
Speaker 1: was president, and even that sometimes felt like Fauci. Fauci
Speaker 1: was able to override him. Fauci was critical in delivering
Speaker 1: the presidency to Joe Biden. So he is certainly a
Speaker 1: hero to the left. But when you look at the
Speaker 1: email correspondence, would you have a better understanding of who
Speaker 1: this guy is? You can see that he was part
Speaker 1: of crafting a narrative. It was not all about facts,
Speaker 1: it was not all about science. And they hind a
Speaker 1: lot of this from their in their discussions in front
Speaker 1: of the public and in the pronouncements from on high.
Speaker 1: They got a lot wrong, and they hit a lot
Speaker 1: when it came to information that went against their so
Speaker 1: called consensus. Fauci should be held to account for this,
Speaker 1: but you know it will end up happening. He will
Speaker 1: go off into the sunset, rich and famous and a
Speaker 1: hero to Democrats because they take care of their ideological warriors.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Fauci has been, a failure in
Speaker 1: the pandemic, a failure to keep American safe and to
Speaker 1: speak difficult truths and to take unpopular but scientifically based positions. No,
Speaker 1: he did what the left Democrat mob, what the collectivists,
Speaker 1: what the quadruple maskers wanted him to do, at every
Speaker 1: step of the way. Good for Fauci, bad for America.
Speaker 1: And that's what you see in these emails. And yes,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have egg on their face.
Speaker 1: This was an idea that it was first put forward
Speaker 1: by Mike Pompeio, Secretary of State Donald Trump. And look,
Speaker 1: some things may be true even if Donald Trump said them,
Speaker 1: and there was because Trump was saying so much else
Speaker 1: that was just out of control, and because he was,
Speaker 1: you know, making a frankly racist appeal talking about kung
Speaker 1: flu and the China virus. His notion that put forward
Speaker 1: that this may have or that he said flatly that
Speaker 1: this came from that lab, was widely dismissed. But actually
Speaker 1: there's some real reason. We don't know. By the way,
Speaker 1: we still don't know. We absolutely don't know. But now
Speaker 1: serious people are saying, and he's a serious inquiry. Wow,
Speaker 1: serious people. Huh, serious people were saying all along, but
Speaker 1: he lets you in there. That's I don't know. ABC
Speaker 1: News is Jonathan Carl formerly a Fox News I believe
Speaker 1: he let you in on what the corporate media's secret
Speaker 1: is here, not really much of a secret. They were
Speaker 1: opposed to this because Trump was for this. They were
Speaker 1: opposed to this because it was damaging to Donald Trump
Speaker 1: to have the whole media saying he lies, he's lying,
Speaker 1: he's wrong, it didn't come from a lab, So that
Speaker 1: was their motivation, the truth being accurate, and this is
Speaker 1: not a thing of minor consequence. Don't you think it's
Speaker 1: important to know isn't isn't the ultimate test and trace
Speaker 1: finding out where this outbreak began and how it happened?
Speaker 1: Isn't that more important than any other test and trace
Speaker 1: we can really do? How can you prevent the next
Speaker 1: outbreak if you don't know where this one came from
Speaker 1: or what happened it? Ah? Yes, this does really matter,
Speaker 1: doesn't It's It's not just something that you can cast
Speaker 1: aside as scoring political points. But there's another part of
Speaker 1: this that I find so curious and people are catching
Speaker 1: onto this. We're also told that there was a opposition
Speaker 1: to the lab league theory because of concerns of racism,
Speaker 1: that if the virus escape from a Chinese lab, there
Speaker 1: would be more racism against Chinese people, Chinese Americans, Asian Americans, whatever,
Speaker 1: that everybody in the AAPI community would be at greater risk.
Speaker 1: Journals really believe this. But to give you a sense
Speaker 1: of how superficial they're thinking is, journos believe this without
Speaker 1: stopping to think. Hold on a second, why is it
Speaker 1: gonna create racist backlash if people think that this happened
Speaker 1: as a result of scientific experiments in a lab, but
Speaker 1: not if people believe as was the official narrative for
Speaker 1: almost a year that we had millions of people die
Speaker 1: and billions of people infected because some Chinese guys were
Speaker 1: drinking bat soup or eating pangol and kebabs. Why why
Speaker 1: would one result in racism but the other would not.
Speaker 1: I'm just that the thinking here doesn't seem to make
Speaker 1: any sense, does it. I think it's much more It's
Speaker 1: much easier to wrap your head around an accident at
Speaker 1: a lab than it is for people to think, oh, well,
Speaker 1: if people in China want to just eat exotic pets
Speaker 1: in highly unsanitary conditions in these markets, you know that's fine,
Speaker 1: that's a cultural tradition or whatever. No, this never made sense,
Speaker 1: this theory, or this this approach coach to it. But
Speaker 1: this is what they've This is what they've said, and
Speaker 1: there's serious argument out there right now that when we
Speaker 1: look further into this, we're going to find that there
Speaker 1: was human recklessness, not just human error, but human recklessness
Speaker 1: at the very heart of the COVID pandemic. Think about
Speaker 1: what that will do. You want to talk about losing
Speaker 1: faith in institutions, I've already lost a lot of faith
Speaker 1: in the bureaucratic medical institutions out there, places like the
Speaker 1: CDC and the NIH. I've lost faith in anybody who's
Speaker 1: a blue check MD who's been out there cheerleading for
Speaker 1: lockdowns and masks all along because other people were saying so,
Speaker 1: and then the moment that there were BLM protests, it
Speaker 1: all changed. Well, BLM protests are about saving lives, so
Speaker 1: we gotta have those, even though we're at the time
Speaker 1: they were saying human gatherings of any kind were completely unsafe.
Speaker 1: Lives a day, that's what they told us. But what
Speaker 1: you've seen here as well is that there's a final
Speaker 1: recognition among anybody who is paying attention that there's a
Speaker 1: mass mental illness from COVID, that there is a pandemic PTSD,
Speaker 1: there's COVID nineteen derangement syndrome from people that have never
Speaker 1: been sick, and many of them are vaccinated, and they
Speaker 1: still go around acting like they should be absolutely terrified
Speaker 1: of this. And I see this here in New York City.
Speaker 1: I see it every day. There are still countless people
Speaker 1: walking along the streets who are massed up outside. So
Speaker 1: if they're worried about the virus, I have to assume
Speaker 1: they're vaccinated. And if they're vaccinated and outside alone, walking
Speaker 1: in fresh air, and worried about this virus. They really
Speaker 1: should be worried about a piano falling off a rooftop
Speaker 1: because the movers made a mistake somewhere and crushing them
Speaker 1: like a cartoon character. Because it's about that risky. I
Speaker 1: cannot guarantee you that if you walk down the streets
Speaker 1: of New York City, a brick won't fall off the
Speaker 1: facade and hit you in the head. I can't guarantee
Speaker 1: you that a a moving company isn't going to let
Speaker 1: a piano slip out the window and crush you. But
Speaker 1: I know that you shouldn't worry about that. I know
Speaker 1: that if you go through your life with that concern,
Speaker 1: you're just really stealing from yourself. And it's even worse
Speaker 1: because these panicked lockdowners also want to steal from you.
Speaker 1: They want to steal your time, your peace of mind,
Speaker 1: your productivity. This all comes with a cost. Doctor Scott Atlas,
Speaker 1: formerly of the Trump COVID Task Force, had this to say,
Speaker 1: play as far as I know, there's no evidence that
Speaker 1: the vaccines don't cover the variance. I think even doctor
Speaker 1: Fauci said that, you know so I think there's a
Speaker 1: lot of issues here. We're not going to go for
Speaker 1: a zero COVID world or a zero risk world. If
Speaker 1: we do, then you better live in your lock your
Speaker 1: doors and never come out again. I mean, that's just irrational.
Speaker 1: And in fact, the fear, the fear inciting fear in
Speaker 1: search of zero COVID risk is so harmful and it
Speaker 1: just indicates so many things wrong, including it totally undermines
Speaker 1: the trust in public health leadership. And this has really
Speaker 1: been devastating to that I'm not sure what's going to
Speaker 1: happen the next time we need experts. It's all true.
Speaker 1: People should have tremendous skepticism about anyone who holds themselves
Speaker 1: up as a as a public health expert based on
Speaker 1: what we've seen. This is one of the legacies of Fauciism,
Speaker 1: those who come forward who say they know and they
Speaker 1: don't know. They say it's science, and it's really not.
Speaker 1: And then we find out what they call science as
Speaker 1: actually politics that has a substantial impact. That's a reminder
Speaker 1: to everyone you better beware when someone accumulates too much
Speaker 1: power and has no accountability. Just because they wear a
Speaker 1: lab coat doesn't mean it's all going to be just

Speaker 1: According to the Intelligence Community, Terrorism from white supremacy is
Speaker 1: the most lethal threat to homeland today. Visis not white
Speaker 1: white supremacist terrorists. Terrorism. You gotta be on the lookout
Speaker 1: for it all the time. It's all over the place
Speaker 1: any moment. Now, Now, are there white supremacists? Yes? Are
Speaker 1: there white supremacist terrorists? Yes? Are they really a threat
Speaker 1: worthy of the kind of attention and focus that they
Speaker 1: get from the Biden administration, from the current federal government,
Speaker 1: from this regime, No, they are not. Why do they
Speaker 1: focus so much on this because it creates a climate
Speaker 1: of of weaponized association of sorts. Right, you weaponize the
Speaker 1: fact that there are right wingers who are in some
Speaker 1: way connected through this tenuous, idealized logical thread to some
Speaker 1: of the extreme far right white nationalist types out there. Right,
Speaker 1: they say, well, you're on the right. So this is
Speaker 1: basically saying, well, if you're a mainstream Democrat who's been
Speaker 1: voting Democrat for fifty years, and you know you're a
Speaker 1: union worker in Ohio who's Catholic and votes Democrat, you're
Speaker 1: the same as an Antifa lunatic who tries to burn
Speaker 1: down at federal courthouse or burned down at church. Right,
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. That's what they try to do.
Speaker 1: They try to paint with this intentionally the broadest possible
Speaker 1: brush and sweep everybody in the right in this morally
Speaker 1: evil and from a security perspective, imminent threat of the
Speaker 1: white nationalist terrorists. This is also why you have such
Speaker 1: a focus on the January sixth insurrection. That's why they
Speaker 1: call it an insurrection when it was not that. There
Speaker 1: was no there was no serious threat or even serious
Speaker 1: plot to overthrow the United States government by force. This
Speaker 1: is insane, all right. If one guy with a cart
Speaker 1: that says I am now the president of the United States,
Speaker 1: you know, walks it through Times Square and then tries
Speaker 1: to wrestle a police officer to the ground, that's not
Speaker 1: an insurrection, right, There are limits on the level of
Speaker 1: absurdity we will allow the other side to get away
Speaker 1: with in their description of things. It was a riot,
Speaker 1: something the left is not only comparable with and engages
Speaker 1: with on a regular basis, but often celebrates and justifies.
Speaker 1: We say, no, the riot was bad, breaking the laws bad.
Speaker 1: They should not have done that. They should be punished.
Speaker 1: I don't think they should be held in solitary confinement
Speaker 1: for months on end. Under the trumped up, pardon the phrase,
Speaker 1: allegation that they were really a mortal threat the United States.
Speaker 1: It's government. I keep reading all these news headlines. They say,
Speaker 1: the lethal riot on January sixth, the deadly riot on
Speaker 1: January sixth. The only person who died from the riot
Speaker 1: was a rioter. Nobody else died from the riot. But
Speaker 1: they keep repeating this. All right, having a heart attack
Speaker 1: two days later is not a riot induced violent death.
Speaker 1: That's not the same thing. But they keep saying it.
Speaker 1: Why because they need this. They have to create a
Speaker 1: story for themselves here of the righteous left wing of
Speaker 1: the Democrats restoring decency and normalcy to America. Keep in mind,
Speaker 1: they're restoring decency by defining everybody who does not agree
Speaker 1: with their agenda as being evil and worthy of suppression,
Speaker 1: worthy of the force of the state being brought to
Speaker 1: bear against them. This is not a recipe for a
Speaker 1: healthy political climate. And that's putting it mildly. But this
Speaker 1: is what we are up against. Terrorism from white supremacy
Speaker 1: is the most lethal threat to the homeland today. That's
Speaker 1: what they say. Look at the way that the Democrat mindset,
Speaker 1: that Democrat left was always underplaying and defining away and
Speaker 1: trying to trying to minimize the threat of Islamic terrorism
Speaker 1: in America, which for years and years was the biggest,
Speaker 1: the biggest terrorist threat we face. It's obvious they used
Speaker 1: to put up these graphics. I remember I was at
Speaker 1: CNN once they did this, the number of people killed
Speaker 1: by white supremacist terrorists versus the number of people killed
Speaker 1: by Islamic terrorists. And they would start after nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't include nine to eleven. They would cut
Speaker 1: that out and say, see, look at the statistics. And
Speaker 1: then I would have to sit there and say, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll hold on a second. How many Muslim Americans are
Speaker 1: there in this country. Let's it's roughly it's roughly five
Speaker 1: to ten million, something like that. It's two or three
Speaker 1: percent of the population. Maybe along those lines. How many
Speaker 1: white males are there in America it's a very large
Speaker 1: chunk of the population by comparison, or just how many
Speaker 1: white people or in America it's it's still a majority
Speaker 1: of the country. So now you're talking about over one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million people instead of a few million.
Speaker 1: So when when one group I used to have to
Speaker 1: do this analysis I would argue with people at CNN
Speaker 1: because they would say, well, the threat for years, even
Speaker 1: when ISIS was doing mass casualty attacks, even when we
Speaker 1: were we were using a multi billion dollar anti terrorism
Speaker 1: security apparatus Post nine to eleven to deal almost exclusively
Speaker 1: with jee hottest terrorism perhaps a better way of describing,
Speaker 1: a better term for it, gee hottest terrorism. And when
Speaker 1: you're talking about roughly one percent of the US population
Speaker 1: that was responsible for being a community from which the
Speaker 1: largest percentage of terrorism came from at that at that
Speaker 1: period in time, right ices, So when you look at
Speaker 1: the proportionality of this, comparing it to to you know,
Speaker 1: right wing white America, well you're you're comparing something that
Speaker 1: is all automatically a much a smaller percentage of the population,
Speaker 1: a much smaller group of the population comprising a much
Speaker 1: larger percentage of the terrorist threat. That that was the
Speaker 1: debate during the War on Terror years that we'd have
Speaker 1: to go through. And now I look at this and
Speaker 1: I say, Okay, white supremacist terrorism, what really is what
Speaker 1: really is a threat? Are they so concerned with are
Speaker 1: they trying to stop someone from let's say the the
Speaker 1: the Charleston church shooter, that guy that that was a
Speaker 1: white supremacist terrorist. That's that's exactly what we're talking about here.
Speaker 1: They're going to stop that. Is that the the focus
Speaker 1: the federal government or is it on the January sixth
Speaker 1: Commission and just running around and calling everybody white supremacist,
Speaker 1: anybody who supported Donald Trump, anybody who's a Republicid who
Speaker 1: had questions about the election, or who you know, pushed
Speaker 1: against fought against COVID lockdown's you know, last night I
Speaker 1: saw on Tucker's show. This is just a side note,
Speaker 1: but I saw on Tucker's show you had the numbers,
Speaker 1: the statistics for vaccine hesitancy, and we have all the
Speaker 1: major media networks. They're saying it's a it's a right
Speaker 1: wing male, white male phenomenon to not get vaccinated, when
Speaker 1: sure enough, the BYPOC community in this country comprises well,
Speaker 1: we're talking about Latinos and African Americans have the lowest
Speaker 1: vaccination rates still, but yeah, you go, you see on
Speaker 1: TV all you hear about is though, you know, the
Speaker 1: white male Republicans who won't get vaccinated. It because these
Speaker 1: these are narratives, stories that are not true, that make
Speaker 1: people who believe certain things feel better about themselves and
Speaker 1: their beliefs. That's what democrats, that's what the left needs
Speaker 1: to hear. And so now it's all about, you know,
Speaker 1: white supremacy, and everyone's a white supremacist running around. This
Speaker 1: is what the left says. Remember, Joe Biden is supposed
Speaker 1: to be the great fighter against white supremacy all of
Speaker 1: a sudden. Really he's a rich, old white guy who
Speaker 1: does whatever advances his interest. But I'm sure he's deeply
Speaker 1: concerned about communities of color. This is the whole This
Speaker 1: is the whole storyline. This is what they do, and
Speaker 1: we hear about this all the time. But they also
Speaker 1: talk about the existential threat of climate change. These people
Speaker 1: are nuts. No normal well adjusted Americans walking around worried
Speaker 1: about the existential threat of climate change or worried about
Speaker 1: the threat of white supremacist terrorism or another insurrection against
Speaker 1: the government. But these are constants in the way the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party talks about life in America today. There's an
Speaker 1: obsession with race, and really with creating racial discord among
Speaker 1: Democrats and exploiting it for their own purposes. Remember, if
Speaker 1: the black community did not vote over ninety percent Democrat,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to win presidential election, so the
Speaker 1: stakes here are very high. They'll say whatever they have
Speaker 1: to say the Democrat apparatus, Joe Biden his administration. They'll
Speaker 1: say whatever they have to say for power, because that
Speaker 1: is the motivating principle. Everything else is just window dressing.
Speaker 1: And the data shows young black entrepreneurs are just as
Speaker 1: capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are.
Speaker 1: But they don't have lawyers, they don't have they don't
Speaker 1: have accountants, but they have great ideas. Does anyone doubt
Speaker 1: this whole nation be better off from the investments those
Speaker 1: people making. I promise you that's why I set up
Speaker 1: to National Small Business Administration that's much broader, because they're
Speaker 1: going to get those loans. They don't have lawyers, they
Speaker 1: don't have accountants, Biden says of black entrepreneurs. That's not true.
Speaker 1: So I just why is it okay that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: can say something so demonstrably and obviously false on this
Speaker 1: issue and the media just goes along with it. It's
Speaker 1: just not accurate at all. I mean, it's obviously not accurate.
Speaker 1: There's no debate about this. There are plenty of black
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs who have access to and use lawyers and accountants,
Speaker 1: and very good ones at that. So what is Biden
Speaker 1: really saying just blather, it's just pandering. It's pandering from
Speaker 1: an old, out of touch white guy. The Democrat Party
Speaker 1: is propping up like its weekend at Bernie's presidency. That's
Speaker 1: what's going on. But you won't ever hear that from
Speaker 1: the media. Why well, because they understand, they know what
Speaker 1: the game is here, they understand what's really going on.
Speaker 1: In fact, if you're wondering, I Barack Obama came out
Speaker 1: and said it straight up recently that Joe Biden, mister moderate,
Speaker 1: amtrack Joe from Scranton, his purpose is to finish the job.
Speaker 1: As Obama says that the Obama administration started or got
Speaker 1: going for eight years, that this really is Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is the third term of Obama, just without Obama actually
Speaker 1: living in the White House. Here's the former president Obama
Speaker 1: sanging himself play eleven. And I think that what we're
Speaker 1: seeing now as Joe Biden and the administration are essentially
Speaker 1: finishing the job. And I think it'll be an interesting test.
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of the folks who were there were there
Speaker 1: in my administration. They are continuing and building on the
Speaker 1: policies we talked about whether it's affordable, character our climate
Speaker 1: change agenda and Paris Piece Accords, and figuring out how
Speaker 1: do we improve the ladders to mobility through things like
Speaker 1: community colleges. And if, as I think they will be,
Speaker 1: they're successful over the next four years, I think that
Speaker 1: will have an impact. A classic Obama ism too here.
Speaker 1: You know, if they're successful, that will have an impact.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so brilliant. Look what you litto.
Speaker 1: If they win the game, they will probably be victorious.
Speaker 1: I mean, oh my gosh. Obama's a genius. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I know this is what we always hear. But what
Speaker 1: he says about how many people this is just the
Speaker 1: Obama administration without Obama. That's what you've got. That's what
Speaker 1: you've got here with this Democrat Democrat apparatus. That's why
Speaker 1: I refer to it as an apparatus. It's really not
Speaker 1: a job about Joe Biden. It's about the people who
Speaker 1: are around him. It's about those who are running these
Speaker 1: federal agencies and and pushing the agenda of this White
Speaker 1: House bed behind closed doors. Also on this point about
Speaker 1: systemic racism. And remember, you know, the white supremacist terrorism
Speaker 1: is just the the worst manifestation of the systemic racism
Speaker 1: that we are to believe is has infected every aspect
Speaker 1: of American society. Is everywhere you get, every institution, every
Speaker 1: agency of government, there's there's systemic racism everywhere where? Where
Speaker 1: is it? How is it? What? How do we deal
Speaker 1: with it all? Don't don't ask any questions, just shut
Speaker 1: up and listen to the diversity and inclusion lecture that's
Speaker 1: America today. Here's an Ebrahm Kendy. Want to find a
Speaker 1: racism expert. This guy is supposed to be one of
Speaker 1: the great experts on racism. It's made a whole career
Speaker 1: out of it. Here's what it sounds like when he
Speaker 1: tries to explain at a conference what racism is. Play three.
Speaker 1: You talked about the importance of defining racism. But unless
Speaker 1: I missed it, which is possible, I didn't hear your
Speaker 1: personal definition. Is there is there one that you would
Speaker 1: offer us, like, how do you define racism? Sure? So racism.
Speaker 1: I would define it as a collection of racist policies
Speaker 1: that lead to racial inequity, that are substantiated by racist ideas. Sure,
Speaker 1: a collection of racist policies that lead to racial inequity
Speaker 1: that are substantiated by racist ideas, And anti racism is
Speaker 1: pretty simple using the same terms. Anti racism is a
Speaker 1: collection of anti racist policies leading to racial anybody want
Speaker 1: to take guests equity substantiated by anti racist ideas. Ah,
Speaker 1: so you understand that the definition is it's whatever he
Speaker 1: says it is, because all those other terms, well, what
Speaker 1: does that mean? What's a racist policy, what's racial equity,
Speaker 1: What's what's a you know, just racial outcome. It's all
Speaker 1: subject to not just interpretation, to the whims of the individuals,
Speaker 1: the high priests of the critical race theory religion, if
Speaker 1: you will, they get to determine what this really means
Speaker 1: in practice. And that's the whole point. This is about power.
Speaker 1: What is what is a standard definition of racism, one
Speaker 1: that people can understand and and people could use to
Speaker 1: guide their own actions in their own lives. Racism is
Speaker 1: thinking about or treating people differently, good or bad, because
Speaker 1: of their race. It is immoral to make distinctions based
Speaker 1: upon skin color. It is immoral to have different legal
Speaker 1: or personal treatment of an individual because of their of
Speaker 1: the pigment in their skin. It's immoral, it's wrong. That's
Speaker 1: a definition of racism that also can be meaningful to
Speaker 1: people in terms of how to guide their own actions
Speaker 1: and how to act in their lives. What Ibraham Kenny
Speaker 1: gave you is do what I say, or else you're
Speaker 1: a racist. Support the policies I want, or else you're
Speaker 1: a racist, and thus the whole game is given away.
Speaker 1: We're hosts of a three hour show, Meek and I
Speaker 1: about politics. But I mean, it's not good for this
Speaker 1: country to be talking about politics twenty four hours. Say
Speaker 1: that's not who we are fighting about well, or even
Speaker 1: talking about politics, obsessing about politics. People looking at MSNBC
Speaker 1: or Fox twenty four hours a day or CNN twenty
Speaker 1: four hours a day. I feel like, you know, then
Speaker 1: to Ferris Bueller, what are you still doing it? Go out?
Speaker 1: Like do something? Get out? You know, I tell you
Speaker 1: sometimes even morning Joe has something worthwhile to say, and
Speaker 1: I will admit that to you. Now, no one's watching
Speaker 1: anything twenty four hours a day. I know that's intentional exaggeration.
Speaker 1: I'm not quibbling with that, but I'm just saying, obviously
Speaker 1: that's the case. But I think that it is an
Speaker 1: important reminder here because we've gone through a period of
Speaker 1: time where we have been cut off from actual human contact,
Speaker 1: where we've been consuming I think, so much more information
Speaker 1: media than at any other time, and have more options
Speaker 1: in the consumption of information media. You know, pick the
Speaker 1: pick who you're going to give your time to, and
Speaker 1: guard your time. One of the most important lessons we
Speaker 1: all and I think as we get older, is how
Speaker 1: how necessary it is to protect your time and not
Speaker 1: to I mean, I have some things that I always
Speaker 1: say to myself and I tell to those who are
Speaker 1: close to me. Don't let the unimportant affect the important. Right.
Speaker 1: This is, you know, don't don't take a you know,
Speaker 1: a meeting with somebody who is going to make your
Speaker 1: boss think you're being disloyal for having that meeting just
Speaker 1: because you think you're going to be a nice guy
Speaker 1: by taking the meeting, right, you know, don't allow the
Speaker 1: unimportant to affect the important. But also that that's the
Speaker 1: thing that I often say, I think, and it's true
Speaker 1: in relationships, you know, don't take a phone call from
Speaker 1: your ex wife if it or from your ex husband
Speaker 1: if your your current husband is going to say, well, well,
Speaker 1: why are you talking to that guy? You know, don't
Speaker 1: allow things like that to creep up in your life.
Speaker 1: It's very easy to do so. And not with that,
Speaker 1: with with having good intentions too. Oh, I just needed
Speaker 1: to I didn't want someone to feel like I was
Speaker 1: being rude. I can't tell you how many times in
Speaker 1: my life I just I made a decision because I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be rude, and then I ended up
Speaker 1: being more rude in a sense, we're more problematic, created
Speaker 1: an issue out of that desire to be polite not
Speaker 1: hurt someone's feelings. Okay, I'll you know, I'll hear them out,
Speaker 1: or i'll take this call, or i'll have this meeting
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be, and then I have a
Speaker 1: problem later, you know, Then all of a sudden, I
Speaker 1: got an issue because I'm trying to be a You
Speaker 1: can try to be a good guy or gal and
Speaker 1: end up making mistakes that are much bigger than you anticipate.
Speaker 1: So you've got to remember. And that's why I have
Speaker 1: that rule, don't let the unimportant effect the important. And
Speaker 1: then another one is just learning, and this is I
Speaker 1: know I got off on a tangent there, but learning
Speaker 1: to protect your time The one thing you can never
Speaker 1: get back is your time. The one thing that you
Speaker 1: cherish more certainly as you get older, as you have
Speaker 1: a more of a perspective on it, is how valuable
Speaker 1: your time is to you. And it's possible right now
Speaker 1: without even thinking about it. I think, more than in
Speaker 1: any period in human history, to just waste and waste
Speaker 1: and waste more time with all these these quick, fixed
Speaker 1: attention grabbers. They oh, you know, turn here's another flashing light,
Speaker 1: here's another thing to click on, here's another. Some of
Speaker 1: that is good, some of that is worthwhile. I work
Speaker 1: in news media. I think news and politics are important.
Speaker 1: But it's all within it's all within a context, it's
Speaker 1: all within a framework of you gotta make sure that
Speaker 1: you turn off, don't you don't have a news channel
Speaker 1: in the background all day. I don't think that's a
Speaker 1: good idea. No matter what the news channel is, don't
Speaker 1: have it in the background all day. Maybe if you're
Speaker 1: at the office and you're in the workplace, that's one thing,
Speaker 1: But I mean when you're at home, get away from it.
Speaker 1: Shut it down, Shut it down, think about your life,
Speaker 1: Think about who you are, what you're doing, your relationships,
Speaker 1: that matter to you. You know, we've now finally, I
Speaker 1: think as a nation, we're realizing, Okay, COVID's over. Basically,
Speaker 1: it's never really over, right. It's like saying, well, you know,
Speaker 1: even after the Great Influenza pandemic of nineteen eighteen, there
Speaker 1: were still flues. There's still people that died from a flu,
Speaker 1: but the pandemic was over. The COVID pandemic is in
Speaker 1: this country over. There's still COVID and there's still people
Speaker 1: who will die from but it's it's not a pandemic anymore.
Speaker 1: And for some of us, we've been living pretty normal
Speaker 1: lives for a while. But for others, they're finally waking
Speaker 1: up to oh, now they have to make decisions and
Speaker 1: determinations about how they spend their time. Now there's actual
Speaker 1: human interaction that they're going to have to manage and
Speaker 1: deal with. And for some people, I think that's going
Speaker 1: to be a challenge. That's going to be an issue.
Speaker 1: It's a lot easier to maintain relationships with people when
Speaker 1: they're just in the superficial realm of digital communication, when
Speaker 1: you have to give somebody your presence and your attention,
Speaker 1: physical presence and actual attention, not multitasking eight people in
Speaker 1: different text messages at once and sending out four emails
Speaker 1: and all this that feels very different. So just remember
Speaker 1: that it is a precious thing when you This is
Speaker 1: why I always say to all of you that you
Speaker 1: spend your time with me, you listen to this show.
Speaker 1: I understand that there's there's quite literally tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of podcasts you could listen to the Deal with Politics,
Speaker 1: and those are the ones that people have heard of.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's over a million podcast total in the
Speaker 1: Apple Store, just to give you a sense of it.
Speaker 1: But I know that if you're listening to me, you're
Speaker 1: you're making the choice not to listen to a lot
Speaker 1: of other shows. And so that's a precious thing because
Speaker 1: I don't I don't recommend spending four or eight or
Speaker 1: ten hours of your day in the news realm entity capacity,
Speaker 1: and I think that's become far too easy for us,
Speaker 1: And you can own almost create an escapism of despair
Speaker 1: through news, which is not healthy psychologically. A lot of
Speaker 1: people in America around the world created an escapism of
Speaker 1: pandemic despair. Now, obviously they're not escaping the pandemic by
Speaker 1: doing this. No, the opposite. They immersed themselves emotionally and
Speaker 1: psychologically so deeply in it that they block out. You know,
Speaker 1: why haven't I talked to my brother in five years?
Speaker 1: You know why why haven't I visited you know, my
Speaker 1: elderly grandparents or parents in six months? Well during the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I know there are reasons for that, but you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying in general, why why haven't I worked
Speaker 1: harder at my job? Why haven't I lost those twenty
Speaker 1: pounds I've been trying to lose for the last ten years.
Speaker 1: You know, you can start to use the distraction of
Speaker 1: the world collapsing all around you through news, which is
Speaker 1: going to take a focus on the negative as a
Speaker 1: means of avoiding what really matters to you in your
Speaker 1: day to day life and what you can control. So yes,
Speaker 1: spend your time with me, Listen to this show, and
Speaker 1: then you know, that's it. Maybe maybe one or two
Speaker 1: news shows if you want at night before you go
Speaker 1: to bed, and you know, a scan of a newspaper
Speaker 1: headlines if you will, But that's it. Don't get dragged
Speaker 1: into this, because I do believe that there is a
Speaker 1: real mental health crisis in this country that's being made
Speaker 1: worse by social media that's being made that has been
Speaker 1: made much worse by the lockdowns, and then just by
Speaker 1: this Democrat machinery of constant hysteria out there about the
Speaker 1: insurrection and about all the white supremacist terrorists and the
Speaker 1: institutional racism and the killer cops and all the you know,
Speaker 1: all these just completely exaggerated threats to America, to Americans
Speaker 1: in their day to day lives. Um, it's it's easy
Speaker 1: to start to feel down about it. And I know
Speaker 1: for a lot of you who got used to having
Speaker 1: there was a certain look. It was fun when Trump
Speaker 1: was president. He was putting out entertaining tweets and he
Speaker 1: was engaging, and it was like never a dull moment
Speaker 1: in America with the Trump presidency going on. Now there's
Speaker 1: just something depressing about a Biden presidency. I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of things that are depressing about it, but we
Speaker 1: can all feel that, and in the media focus on
Speaker 1: the negative all the time, not about the Biden presidency.
Speaker 1: Of course, so we're depressed because Biden's the president, and
Speaker 1: then the media wants us to think they're all these
Speaker 1: other horrible things going on that we have to be
Speaker 1: so focused on that aren't caused by the Biden administration.
Speaker 1: This is just my appeal to all of you. Take
Speaker 1: time to relax your mind and be with people who
Speaker 1: matter and do it every day. Relax your mind, however
Speaker 1: that is, get away from these things, get away from
Speaker 1: the fixation on left right, left right, and you know
Speaker 1: all the challenges of politics today, and then jump back
Speaker 1: into the fray with me rested, ready refreshed. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's about striking a balance here. So you know,
Speaker 1: I trash a lot of the nonsense that said on
Speaker 1: Morning Joe, and rightfully so, but I will tell you
Speaker 1: when it comes to establishing some kind of a balance
Speaker 1: in your life and keeping news in its proper place.
Speaker 1: News and information have a They have a piece of
Speaker 1: your day to day, but you control how much it
Speaker 1: is and you keep it there. You don't allow it
Speaker 1: to start creeping into you know, everything becomes political and
Speaker 1: everything is just a constant information loop. Because that that
Speaker 1: addiction to the despair of news can become its own
Speaker 1: escape mechanism from the things that are important in your life.
Speaker 1: Right as at some level of escapism can be good,
Speaker 1: but you don't want to escape into a spare as
Speaker 1: a means of and this is what Democrats do with
Speaker 1: things like climate change. Oh, it's a catastrophic it's gonna
Speaker 1: end the world. It's existential. I guess I don't have
Speaker 1: to think about the fact that I'm a huge phony
Speaker 1: who pretends to care about, you know, the Black Lives
Speaker 1: Matter or movement, and really I just wanted to put
Speaker 1: something on my Instagram page. But oh, I don't have
Speaker 1: time to think about that because the existential threat of
Speaker 1: climate change just keeps me up at night. You see
Speaker 1: what I mean. I don't have time to think about
Speaker 1: how poorly I treat my coworkers are employees, because I'm
Speaker 1: too busy being worried about about, you know, fighting systemic
Speaker 1: racism and police departments across the country by putting a
Speaker 1: few hashtags on my Twitter account, right, Yeah, you see
Speaker 1: how that works. Central to the Democrat ethos
