House Majority Leader Steve Scaliz 16 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: blaming President Joe Biden's policies. 17 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: How many more terrorists are in our country because Joe 18 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: Biden opened up the southern. 19 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 2: Border and Chinese intelligence agents. 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 3: More on that in just a second, But this hour 21 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: is going to be exciting.

I want to talk about 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 4: the insanity that luckily is making national news the subway 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 4: in New York where they announced anybody who's a Zionist 29 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 4: needs to get off the train now, and people chanting, 30 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 4: what the hell is going on? Did you say ber 31 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 4: Lin in nineteen thirty six? 32 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 5: Now? 33 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: It's crazy? 34 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 3: AnyWho this story should be getting more intention Eight dudes 35 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: with ties to isis arrested. Who would it would be 36 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: actually better in a way if they had snuck across 37 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: the border without encountering anybody. The fact that they did 38 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: encounter border patrol and. 39 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: Went through the process we currently have. 40 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: In place and still got into the country because they 41 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: barely do anything when they encounter you. I mean, what 42 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 3: is the They call it a vetting process. 43 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 2: What is the vetting process? 44 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 4: It's utterly insufficient, obviously, and so I think this is 45 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 4: a useful screw up. It's so ugly and clearly unacceptable. 46 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 4: It illustrates the fact that the border is so overwhelmed. 47 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 4: The folks at the border are so overwhelmed. Any quote 48 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: unquote vetting they're doing is is almost hilariously inadequate. We 49 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 4: need serious change right now. 50 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: I heard. 51 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 4: I know if the vast majority of Americans agree with 52 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 4: us as well on that. 53 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 3: One of your terrorist experts was on some cable channel 54 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: the other day talking about the terrorist attack we've mostly 55 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 3: forgotten that happened in uh, outside of Moscow at that concert. 56 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: Remember watching the footage of that. They just ran through 57 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: the building shooting people. Yeah, somebody could put something like 58 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: that together in the United States. 59 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 4: Hope those were Tajiks too, weren't they. I did that allegedly. 60 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: I don't remember where they were from, but they did 61 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: have the whole isis ties thing. And uh, hopefully it'd 62 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 3: be hard to get your hands on weapons, but I 63 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: don't know. 64 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: That it would be. Oh in the US. 65 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 4: No, you just go down to some you know, degenerate 66 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 4: blue city and wave some cash in front of gang 67 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: members and you'll have all the guns you want. 68 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: Let's go a little more reporting on this before we talk. Uh, 69 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: just more from that Fox report Michael. 70 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: Sources say a majority of these suspected terrorists were found 71 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: in New York, where a democratic councilman says he's worried 72 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: there could be another attack in the Big Apple. 73 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: It's frightening and we're headed for another nine to eleven. 74 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,799 Speaker 2: I predicted that. I think we should have a secure border. 75 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 2: We should know who's coming into our country. We don't notable. 76 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 4: That's a democratic councilman. I think the problem has become 77 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: so enormous and so unmistakable. 78 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: I mean, again, look at the poll numbers. 79 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 4: I'm not surprised to hear Democrats speaking out a little 80 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 4: more forcefully because they hear their constituents howling for something 81 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 4: to be done. 82 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 3: I guess this happens. I was just thinking, there's been 83 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: some examples in my life. I guess where there's a 84 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: problem clearly coming and you know it, but you just 85 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: don't want to deal with it now, or it seems 86 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 3: too hard or something, and then it happens, and then 87 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: you're like, yeah, probably dealt with that earlier. 88 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: This is an extreme example of that. 89 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, obviously you can't just let hundreds of 90 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 3: thousands of random men from the Middle East to come 91 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: across your border or China or wherever. 92 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, exactly. 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 4: And it's become so well known around the world that 94 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: anybody you want in the US just send them to 95 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 4: the Mexican border and say, yeah, yeah, they're killing everybody 96 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: in my village. 97 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I need asylum. 98 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 4: And whoever whatever agent you want gets into the United 99 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 4: States and back in the homeland, they're probably the various 100 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 4: you know, war lords and ISIS leaders and Chinese intelligence 101 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 4: chiefs are probably saying, wait. 102 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 2: A minute, no, it can't be that easy. Stop it. 103 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 4: No country behaves like that. You have to convince. Oh yeah, 104 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 4: the US just letting in anybody who wants to come in. 105 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 4: It's really shocking. Yes, how about some mainstream media coverage 106 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 4: of it. This is NBC, which focuses on, you know, 107 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 4: maybe things have changed, that whole executive order that Joe 108 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 4: Biden put through a week or so ago. 109 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 3: Maybe you know, they've closed the barn door. Finally, let's 110 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: see new evidence. 111 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 5: Migrants who cross the border illegally are still being released 112 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 5: into the US by border agents. A senior DHS official 113 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 5: tells NBC News those releases have dropped by more than half, 114 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 5: but are still happening because agents don't have enough space 115 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 5: to detain the large numbers of arriving migrants. An internal 116 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 5: mimic to Border patrol agents in San Diego, directs agents 117 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 5: there to release migrants into the United States. Overall illegal 118 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 5: border crossings under the new policy are still high, but 119 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 5: have dropped from four thousand to three thousand per day. 120 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 5: The record nearly ten million migrants entering the US since 121 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 5: he took office. 122 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: Wow. 123 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 5: But the Border Patrol Union says the president's new action 124 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 5: is not tough enough. 125 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: That's NBC News, ladies and gentlemen. 126 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 4: The idea that you could come apply to be somewhere 127 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,119 Speaker 4: and you get to stay there as your probably phony 128 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 4: application is being assessed or the course of years and years. 129 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 4: This is very odd practice, like showing up to buy 130 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: somebody's house and saying saying, by the way, I'm living 131 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 4: here now. Well, you decide on my offer, I get 132 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 4: to live here, and if you throw me out, you're 133 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: the bad guy. 134 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 2: It's just well again, it's insane. 135 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: Remember we had the polling like a week ago that 136 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: a majority of Americans now favor a wall. 137 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the majority of Americans, including independence and a 138 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 4: substantial chunk was that forty percent of Democrats are in 139 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: favor of deporting. 140 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: All illegal aliens. 141 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 4: It is overwhelmingly popular which if you just if you 142 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: want to say, if we took calls, Jay, I'm starting 143 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 4: to get you. You know, I think Joe Biden is just 144 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: a He doesn't lead at all. He's just a prostitute 145 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 4: to whatever is his voters want him to do. He 146 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 4: just he has no principles, He's just Yeah. But his 147 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 4: voters want him to kick all these people out of 148 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: the country and secure the border. 149 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 2: What are they doing? 150 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 4: Well? 151 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, The wording from that CBS poll was, would you 152 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: be in favor of deporting all undocumented immigrant? 153 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: Which was has. 154 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: Never been on the table, will never be on the table, 155 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: It would be undoable even if they passed it. And 156 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: yet nearly two thirds of Americans said, yeah, I'd be 157 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: all for that. How do you not read that in 158 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: the White House and think, oh, we are so far 159 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 3: to the left of America on this no wonder. We're 160 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: losing by thirty to fifty points depending on the question 161 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 3: on this. 162 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: Issue, and yet they're tied. Yet overall they're tied. 163 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 4: Right, Oh, that's discouraging. I hate to end on a 164 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 4: discouraging note. You know, here's a tangent in the mood 165 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 4: for a tangent. I was thinking about this, and it's 166 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 4: this may be a poor example now because of what 167 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 4: I was just saying about the overwhelming support among Americans 168 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 4: for closing the border and having seen immigration policies, But 169 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 4: like in the early days of the Biden administration, when 170 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 4: just undoing anything Trump did seemed like the right thing 171 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 4: to do, I don't. 172 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 2: What am I driving at. I think. 173 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 4: There's way too much representation and too little leadership in 174 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 4: a lot of government. In other words, just fulfilling the 175 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 4: whims of this constituency or that constituency, whether it's a 176 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 4: good idea or not, in a way that you wouldn't 177 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 4: have done in the old days because you wouldn't have 178 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 4: known about those temporary whims of a constituency. Because communication 179 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 4: is so fast and easy now, you can have you know, 180 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: sixty jackasses in your district mad about a good policy 181 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 4: because they don't understand it, and you'd be completely swayed 182 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 4: by that as a congress person. And I'm looking to 183 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 4: our own industry and you see it reflected in various 184 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 4: websites and news channels and stuff like that. They have 185 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 4: the ability now to track second by second when people 186 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 4: tune in, when they tune out what you're doing doing 187 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 4: when they tune out what you're doing, when they're staying tuned. 188 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 4: It's in Radio two, but we ignore it for various reasons. 189 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 4: But you become this like you're being jerked on a chain, 190 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 4: serving the momentary whims of the audience in a way 191 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 4: that seems like good business at first, but then it's 192 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 4: to me, it's like shoveling in sugar. That first bite 193 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 4: sounds great, tastes great and all, but you just keep 194 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 4: shoveling it in until you're sick. 195 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 2: It's a it's how do I explain this? 196 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 4: Being in Congress has always been a balance between being 197 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 4: a leader and being a representative. And if your constituents 198 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 4: want something loathsome, stupid and unconstitutional, that's when you got 199 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 4: to be a leader. And I just I think we've 200 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 4: got too much representative and not enough leader in our politics. 201 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: I think that's pretty clear. 202 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 5: The Armstrong and Getty Show, Rhoe podcasts and Our Hot 203 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 5: Lakes and. 204 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: The Armstrong Congetti Show. 205 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: This is from a guy I don't know, journalist in Australia, 206 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 3: A dude. Nobody on the left knows how to speak 207 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 3: to young men because every five seconds this has why 208 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: so many young men voted for Trump and are moving 209 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 3: away from the Democratic Party, where the younger people used 210 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: to all flock to the Democrats. Nobody on the left 211 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 3: knows how to speak to young men, because every five 212 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: seconds at a leftist meeting, you have to either do 213 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 3: a land acknowledgment or go around in a circle and 214 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 3: pay homage to the power of queer joy or some crap. 215 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 2: He actually says, yes, it's briefly. 216 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 3: I know this because I used to be a socialist, 217 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: and this is how all these organizations act. I saw 218 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 3: all this with my own eyes. You have to literally 219 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 3: be self flagellating to be in the left as a 220 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 3: young man these days, and this is probably the understanding 221 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: and experience in perspective of ninety percent of young men. 222 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 3: The feeling is that you have to always constantly apologize 223 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 3: for effing existing and just the crime of being born. 224 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 3: And this is why the right is so effective at 225 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 3: hoovering all these people up, because the experience of constant 226 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: self flagellation and self criticism is effing exhausting and annoying, 227 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 3: and nobody wants to wake up every day feeling like 228 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 3: they are an s person just for the. 229 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 2: Crime of being born. I like that. Amen to that. 230 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 3: He also goes on, we have to fix this because 231 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: I hate watching young guys fall into the Andrew Tait masculinity, 232 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 3: and then he goes through a couple of examples of that. 233 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: Because they got nowhere to turn to, They're going to 234 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 3: these like super over the top extremist weirdos just to 235 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: find somebody that's you know, appealing to them and not criticize, Yeah, 236 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 3: not criticizing them for being a man. This is an 237 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: existential threat for the Left and even an existential threat 238 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 3: for humanity itself because the end result if we don't 239 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 3: fix these gender warfare dynamics is South Korea style gender 240 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: hyper war and a total fertility rate of point four. 241 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: And humanity just gets wiped out. 242 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: That is absolutely I mean, that is absolutely true on 243 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 3: the left, if you're going to continue to make U 244 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: males feel bad about even being born. 245 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 2: You're not gonna win a lot of elections or ever 246 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: get that crowd. 247 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 4: My heart bleeds for the little boys in public schools 248 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: or continually treated as if their maleness is a defect. 249 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 2: I know, it's horrorbies. 250 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 4: It's their energy, They're boundless.

Is 275 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 4: that putting it out before hapes You all rejected her, 276 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 4: as I said, like a rabbit raccoon when she was 277 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 4: in the primary.

Okay, Well, then when 279 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 4: the same thing happened the presidential election. 280 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 2: Why is your explanation completely different? 281 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: That is funny that that has never really been put 282 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: to anybody. Your party rejected her when she ran before, 283 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: not like right winger your own party, like the most 284 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: active people. 285 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 2: In your party. 286 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: Primary voters said no to her before she even got 287 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: to the first contest. So wow, how is it shocking 288 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 3: that she got rejected by a larger group of people? 289 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 4: And it's become a so oft observed fact, it's a truism. 290 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: It's working its way toward being a cliche that when. 291 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris on the View then Colbert was it Colbert 292 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 4: or Kimmel, it doesn't matter. Could not say how she 293 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 4: would be different than the extremely unpopular Biden administration. That 294 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 4: that was one of the most pivotal political moments in 295 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 4: any campaign. I mean, that is so widely discussed right now, 296 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 4: there's no point in bringing it up. Everybody knows it. 297 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 4: But as I was reading the long top tier editorial 298 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 4: writer editorial writers of the Washington Post dialogue about what happened? 299 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 4: How did we get a result that didn't come up? 300 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 3: I haven't seen any criticism of Kamala Harris as a 301 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: candidate from the left at all. 302 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: Maybe that's coming. 303 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 3: I don't know, but I have seen more than I 304 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 3: have ever seen before, and more than I expected of 305 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: people saying we have democrats have gone too far down 306 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: the road of progressiveness in the culture wars.

It's Winston Smith. 349 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 4: When his spirit was so completely broken, he actually internalized 350 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 4: that he loved Big Brother. 351 00:18:59,320 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 5: You know. 352 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: He was fully cognizant of the evil of it. 353 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and just driving home the message that if you're 354 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 3: told something enough, you will come to believe it, which 355 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 3: is highly troubling, but it seems to be the way 356 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 3: our minds work. 357 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 4: And my militants about this topic and some others. You know, 358 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 4: if I run into a transgender person, whatever that means, again, 359 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 4: it's a mental problem, and I hope you find healing 360 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 4: and happiness. I truly do. I'm never going to hurt 361 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 4: anybody's feelings or humiliate them, or try to discriminate against 362 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 4: them in any meaningful way. 363 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: I think that would be terrible and cruel. 364 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 4: But at the same time, I understand from Orwell and 365 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 4: others what it does to you when you submit to 366 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 4: that sort of ideological oppression. It breaks your spirit, and 367 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 4: I won't do it. Having said that, I just came 368 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 4: across this. Big Brother isn't just watching. He's changing how 369 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 4: your brain works. And this is so interesting. It was 370 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 4: a study done by an Australian research group at a 371 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 4: couple of different colleges in Australia, and the methodology is 372 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 4: a little long and difficult to explain, but what they 373 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 4: found was if these people subjects of the experiment were 374 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 4: aware that they were being watched, and they showed them 375 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 4: these are the closed circuit cameras. We're making sure that 376 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 4: everything's on the up and up, and we want to 377 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 4: observe so we can look at it later. And in fact, 378 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 4: here's the control room, here the TV monitors that we'll 379 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 4: be using, and blah blah blah. Then they did tests 380 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 4: on awareness of and sensitivity to various stimuli, including faces. 381 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 2: Cutting to the end. I know this is utterly unclear, 382 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: Cutting to the end. 383 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 4: What they found was when people were aware of being watched, 384 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 4: they were hyper sensitive to images of faces. 385 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: They became cautious and. 386 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 4: Odes on edge, and I would describe it as borderline afraid. 387 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 4: They became hyper aware of, oh my god, who's watching 388 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 4: me and why? In other words, it changes your psyche 389 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 4: to know you're being surveiled in ways that we're just 390 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 4: beginning to understand. 391 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 3: I can feel that, I feel that if I become 392 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 3: aware there's a camera in you know, you're a lobby 393 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: of something. 394 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: You just look around, you see a camera. It makes it. 395 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 2: You can feel that something changes. 396 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And again it's not known exactly how much 397 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 4: and in what way, which worries me. I've heard it 398 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 4: said that a surveiled society is a an obedient society, 399 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 4: a polite society. 400 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 3: Well, we might as well figure out how it affects us, 401 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 3: because it's here, a lot of places, in coming other places. 402 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: We will all be surveiled all the time, soon everywhere, 403 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 3: and it's getting closer every day. 404 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 4: If our purpose is to make ourselves insane as a society, 405 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 4: we're doing very very well. Sure, I congratulate us home 406 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 4: completely different topic. I thought this was great. Alan Dershowitz 407 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 4: and Andrew Stein wrote this piece what Trump can do 408 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 4: about sanctuary cities, because Trump is vowed to do plenty 409 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: about it. Also bring sanity back to colleges, in elementary schools, 410 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 4: to the Department of Education, and stuff like that. And 411 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 4: I love the ideas, but sometimes the mechanics are a 412 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 4: little mysterious. What levers does he have exactly? And Dershowitz 413 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 4: and what I say the guy's name is. Stein wrote 414 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 4: that a constitutional showdown is looming over the border policies. 415 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 4: We've all heard Tom Holman saying, we're going to deport 416 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 4: these people. We're gonna round them up. You can either 417 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 4: help or not. I liked what Holman said too. He said, 418 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 4: all right, if you're not gonna support us, you're not 419 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 4: going to cooperate with us, We're gonna put two three times. 420 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: As many ICE agents in your city. That's fine, We'll 421 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: get it done. 422 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 4: Denver Mike Johnston has said he'd be willing to go 423 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 4: to jail to prevent deportations. 424 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 2: All right, put him there. What a hell to die 425 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: on again? 426 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 3: I just say, you're gonna go to jail to protect 427 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 3: criminals who've committed crime, because that's where we're starting with. 428 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 3: People are committing crimes in the United States and are 429 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: here illegally. You're gonna go to jail to make sure 430 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 3: that they don't get deported. 431 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: You're nuts, you know. 432 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 4: I wish you could somehow get to what is going 433 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 4: on in a guy like that's head. I mean, my 434 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 4: guess is that he has a desire to be accepted 435 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 4: and to be seen as enlightened and progressive and merciful, 436 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 4: and that desire is so strong in him. It's like, 437 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 4: you know, being a horny seventeen year old male or 438 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 4: being starving, starving, hungary. It just so perverts his sense 439 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 4: of priorities. I don't get that at all. 440 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: Newpole out today similar numbers to what we've had before. 441 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 3: Two thirds of Americans want all illegals deported. That's never 442 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 3: gonna happen. But the ones that have committed crimes in 443 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 3: the United States are gonna get deported. So the percentage 444 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 3: on that's got to be like ninety percent, and you're 445 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 3: going to be You're going to die on that ill 446 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: you nutjobs. I really think they are. Again, it's very strange. 447 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 3: I mean, even if we just deported the twenty percent 448 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 3: who are the most derelict, lazy, useless, and or criminal, 449 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 3: that'd be an enormous victory, just a fabulus. Well, there 450 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: are six hundred thousand criminals here illegally right now at 451 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 3: least sure. 452 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: Anyway, how will this all be resolved by the courts? 453 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: They write? 454 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 4: Article six of the Constitution mandates that federal law quote 455 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 4: shall be the supreme law of land, notwithstanding the laws 456 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 4: of any state. The Tenth Amendment reserves to the states 457 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 4: all powers quote not delegated to the United States by 458 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 4: the Constitution, nor prohibited by it by it. 459 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 2: To the states. Oh right, that is work correct. 460 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 4: The constitutional question is whether the authority to regulate immigration, 461 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 4: including the power to deport illegal aliens, is a power 462 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 4: delegated to the federal government, And they write a, of 463 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 4: course it is. Border crossers can travel from state to 464 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 4: state unhindered, So entry anywhere in the US is entry everywhere. 465 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 4: Thus the federal government alone has the authority to control 466 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 4: the right to enter and remain, as it does the 467 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 4: power to exclude, deport, and prosecute those who violate immigration laws. 468 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 2: Now, to me, the only question. 469 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 3: I'm not an expert in all this law stuff, but 470 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 3: to me, the only question has been how did it 471 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 3: go this long? Where a county, a city, of state 472 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 3: can declare themselves sanctuary. 473 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: That's nuts. 474 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 4: Well, here's the rub, they write, the Constitution does not 475 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: prohibit states from providing food, healthcare, housing, driving privileges, and 476 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 4: other necessities to everyone within its borders, nor does it 477 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 4: compel the states to employ resources to aid the federal government. 478 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 4: The Supreme Court has articulated an anti commandeering doctrine that 479 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 4: prohibits the Feds from quote conscripting the state's officers directly 480 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 4: to enforce federal law, and they write about how the 481 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 4: doctrine's been revised over the years, and there's no real 482 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 4: clear guidance on how it would press ically apply to 483 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 4: sanctuary cities. Much would depend on these specific state action 484 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 4: at issue, Bob about the President's established when some Southern 485 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 4: state officials try to prevent the enforcement of federal court's 486 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 4: desegregation orders. Strongly suggest that states and cities may not 487 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 4: actively block legitimate enforcement of federal law, but. 488 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 2: They don't have to help, right is that make them help? 489 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: In Between these extremes are a variety of state actions 490 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 4: and refusal to act. 491 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 2: Give some examples. 492 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 3: I can see legally how that's the thing. And I 493 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 3: guess if you live in a nut job place like 494 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 3: San Diego County just voided body the other day, where 495 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 3: your constituents, a majority of your constituents say, yeah, don't 496 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 3: help the federal government deport people are committing crimes in 497 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 3: our county and here legally, if a majority agrees with that, okay, 498 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 3: I can't believe there are very many places where that's 499 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 3: the case, including like you saw the city council meeting 500 00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 3: in Chicago. People are horrified they're spending so much money 501 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 3: on illegals. I find it hard to believe that the 502 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 3: majority of people would be okay with keeping criminals there 503 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 3: who are there illegally. 504 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 4: I know, it's a bizarre notion. I can't believe anybody 505 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: believes it. But so these guys, who are pretty solid 506 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 4: legal scholars just think, all right, we're not doing nothing 507 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 4: they can get away with. But even a whiff of 508 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,959 Speaker 4: opposition or impediment would be actionable, and the federal government, 509 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 4: could you take measures? What measures I might be, I 510 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 4: don't know. It's still it's obscene to me that you would. 511 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 4: And look, I am fully acquainted with the argument that 512 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 4: if the immigrant community fears any interaction with the government 513 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 4: will lead them to be deported, they won't report a rape, 514 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 4: they won't report when these Venezuelan monsters kidnap them and 515 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 4: torture them and take over their apartment. They'll be afraid 516 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 4: to talk to any authorities. We can't have that. I 517 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 4: get that, and I actually respect it on one level. 518 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 4: But the idea that you have have a violent criminal 519 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 4: that you're going to put out on the streets and 520 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 4: you're fully aware they've got a detainer, a detainment order 521 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 4: from the ICE, and you, well, we're not going to 522 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 4: help them. We're going to release that rapist or that 523 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 4: arm drobber or whatever onto the streets because we don't 524 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 4: believe there's such thing as an illegal human. You are 525 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 4: just you're incapable of operating in the adult world. You 526 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 4: shouldn't You shouldn't even be like you should have a caretaker. 527 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 4: You certainly shouldn't be running anything. 528 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 3: I'm strong and get the reality is this is fabulous. 529 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 2: I thank you. That's enough of that. This is crazy, 530 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: That's what it is. Yeah, but damn it, we weren't 531 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: allowed to ask about the big guys. This is the 532 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 2: United States of America. Let's not play James. 533 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: This is the Armstrong and Getty Show, the arm Strong 534 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: and Getty Show. 535 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 4: This is interesting and not terribly shocking. Well, I guess 536 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: when you get down to the the granular details, it 537 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 4: is fairly shocking. But Americans are more reliant than ever 538 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 4: on government aid. An aging population, economic distress raised dependence 539 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 4: on federal and state support, and it matters a hell 540 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 4: of a lot for our elections. As you might guess. 541 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal looking into a major study. This is 542 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 4: a little graphics heavy, but I can interpret it for you. 543 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 4: They're talking about the share of personal income from government assistance. 544 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 4: How in how many counties is it twenty five percent 545 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 4: or more? In nineteen seventy, government safety Net money accounted 546 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 4: for significant income. 547 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: That's more than twenty five percent. 548 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 4: Twenty five percent or more in fewer than one percent 549 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 4: of America's counties. 550 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: So say that again, in what year? 551 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 4: In nineteen seventy it was less than one percent? Okay, okay. 552 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 4: In two thousand it went from less than one percent 553 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 4: to roughly ten percent. The year two ten percent. 554 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 2: Which a tenfold increase is not minor. 555 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 4: In the year twenty twenty two, fifty three percent, more 556 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 4: than half of US counties drew at least a quarter 557 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 4: of their income from government aid. 558 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 3: So this is we were talking about this last week, 559 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: and now that it's the average person in the bottom quintile. 560 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 3: I know this is a lot of complicated talking, but 561 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 3: the bottom twenty percent of income earners in America get 562 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 3: on average sixty eight thousand dollars per household of transfer payments. 563 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 3: And that's left out of every argument about we have 564 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 3: the highest inequality of any nation in the world. They 565 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 3: never include this stuff and what you just talked about there, 566 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 3: that's never included in these conversations from Bernie Sanders or 567 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 3: probably Tim Walls tonight in the debate. People live in 568 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 3: paycheck to paycheck. Well, more people are getting the handouts 569 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 3: from the government than ever before by all lot. 570 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 4: And as we've discussed with Craig the healthcare Guru, socialism 571 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: is not a light switch. It's a fungus oh that 572 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 4: spreads across a country, and it's programmed benefits and yeah, yeah, sure. 573 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 2: It starts getting across there's just no stopping it. Yeah. 574 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 4: So the big reasons for this dramatic growth are interesting. 575 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 4: Some of them I think most conservatives would reject out 576 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 4: of hand, but it gets a little complicated when you 577 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 4: dig into it. There are much larger share of Americans 578 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 4: who are seniors. Period, we're living longer, and we've aged 579 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 4: as a population not having kids anymore. And healthcare raw sorry, 580 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 4: healthcare costs have risen fairly dramatically as they've gotten more fantastic. 581 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 4: The technology we have at our disposal to keep ourselves 582 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 4: healthy and alive is truly awe inspiring, but it costs. 583 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and as my doctor said last week, What exactly 584 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 3: is the point? Sometimes he wonders, as we just get 585 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 3: you know, our brains don't work, our bodies don't work, 586 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,480 Speaker 3: but we hang around longer at a great expense. 587 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 4: Right, Well, it could be the money is the point 588 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 4: in at least some situations, although it's I understand it's 589 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 4: an odd conundrum that a person could sit around rubbing 590 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 4: their chin thinking about for a long time. You're not 591 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 4: going to turn down medical advances because it's every advance 592 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 4: is an incremental step. It can lead toward other advances 593 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 4: or cures or what have you. But at the same 594 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 4: time you and your doctor are quite right, Hey, good news. 595 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 4: We can keep alzheimer suffering Granny alive for one more year. 596 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 4: We can stave off for cancer with this new gene therapy. 597 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. 598 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 2: What are we doing here? Yeah? 599 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 4: Anyway to get back to the major thread of the thing, 600 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 4: rouni here. At the same time, many communities, so it's 601 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 4: the aging and the development of medical technology number one. 602 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 4: At the same time, any communities have suffered from economic 603 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 4: declient because of the challenges, including the loss of manufacturing, 604 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 4: leaving government money. Is the larger share of people's income 605 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 4: in such places. I you know, I could bore you 606 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 4: to death. I won't because I do this for a 607 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 4: living and kind of enjoy getting the paycheck. But one 608 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 4: of the big debates in conservative circles these days is 609 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 4: the question of the reagan Esque free trade global economy 610 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 4: conservatives versus what's being called the new conservatism or whatever you. 611 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 3: Want to call it. And everybody's always government conservatism. Some 612 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 3: people call it, yeah, industrial. 613 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,239 Speaker 2: Planning, you know. 614 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 4: Sometimes people even call it central planning, what have you, 615 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 4: And are bellowing at each other about it, as if 616 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 4: the solutions and the questions and answers are very simple. 617 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 4: They're not at all. They're trillions of dollars at stake. 618 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 4: So I understand why the people making lots and lots 619 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 4: of money want to keep that money flowing. They don't 620 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 4: care how much unemployment there is in rural Pennsylvania, for instance. 621 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 4: At the same time, oh oh, and the other point 622 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 4: I was going to make on the side of the new. 623 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 2: Conservatives. 624 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,879 Speaker 4: Back in Reagan's day, we didn't have the situation where 625 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 4: our chief global adversary is our one of our chief 626 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 4: trading partners technology partners, and practically indispensable to the world economy. 627 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 4: So if you are pitching free global trade of a 628 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 4: reaganesque sort, your pitching continued interaction slash dependence with China, 629 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 4: which is just a bad idea. Times have changed, the 630 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 4: arguments have to change too, So I have sympathy with 631 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 4: both sides, but it is not simple. So for its 632 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 4: analysis of government spending, EIG, which is the folks doing 633 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 4: the analysis, used the government definition of income that includes 634 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 4: spending on programs that American pay into, such as Medicare 635 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 4: and Social Security. Another major government health program, Medicaid, is counted. 636 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 4: The analysis also includes unemployment insurance, food stamps, the Earned 637 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 4: Income tax credit, veterans benefits, pell grants, COVID Era payments, 638 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,319 Speaker 4: and other income supports. States helped pay for some of 639 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 4: these programs, like Medicaid, but the federal government covers roughly 640 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 4: seven seventy percent of the cost, and it doesn't include 641 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,919 Speaker 4: other ways government spending floods into corners of America, such 642 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:33,720 Speaker 4: as farm subsidies or military bases. So this spending accounts 643 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 4: for big and growing share of not only the income 644 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 4: of the nation, but also our national debt. We are 645 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 4: addicted to government spending slash social programs as a country. 646 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 3: There's no weaning off that either. I don't believe in 647 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 3: no backwards. I don't think it's possible. 648 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 4: No, but you do have to be honest about the 649 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 4: dollars and cents coming and going, and we're headed for 650 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 4: a cliff. 651 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 3: So we went from one percent nineteen seventy to over 652 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 3: half now correct. 653 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 2: That's unbelievab. 654 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 3: Not very many people could tell you that Armstrong and 655 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 3: Getty
