WEBVTT - Episode 42: The One Man Who Can Save the Left from Itself 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.000 Up next, how woud for Gianno called well part of 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:07.920 the gig which as Democrats continue to embrace an increasingly 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:12.440 radical agenda. There's only one man, I said, only one 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:15.120 man who can save the left from itself. But whether 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.480 liberals heat his warnings or continue their descent and too 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.919 woke madness remains an open question. This is Outlive with 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:35.800 Gianno Caldwell. Welcome back to Outow with Gianno called Blow. 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:38.240 I've got an amazing show for you guys this week 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.600 that's a little different than usual. I'm going to SELLO 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:43.960 this episode because I really want to focus on someone 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.879 who have concluded is the only person who can save 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:52.920 the left from completely and perhaps irreversibly going off the 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.400 rails into wokeness and progressiveness. But before I tell you 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.920 who it is, I want to play for you a 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.279 clip of earlier this month pointing liberals to something they 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.200 need to be made more aware of. They have a 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:10.319 bad case of progressive phobia. That's the phrase coined by 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.640 Stephen Pinker to describe a brain disorder that strikes liberals 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:20.360 and makes them incapable of recognizing progress. It's like situational blindness, 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.679 only what you can't see is that your dorm in 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:31.959 is better than the South before the Civil War. If 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.760 you think America is more racist now than ever, more 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.920 sexist than before women could vote in, more homophobic than 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:42.000 when blow jobs were a felony, you have progressive phobia 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.160 and should adjust your mask because it's covering your eyes. 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.080 I'm sure some of you recognize that voice, and you're like, 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:54.560 that cannot be who I think it is. It actually is. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.840 That was none other than liberal comedian, I said, liberal 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:03.160 comedian Bill maher given a monologue on this HBO talk show. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.520 You know, it's It's interesting to me because I've been 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:11.000 watching Bill Maherr fairly closely these last several months, and 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.600 I happen to find myself agreeing with the number of 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.640 things that he's been saying. Now, that doesn't mean I 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.359 agree with everything that he says, because I think he's 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.920 still wrong on a number of issues. But what I 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.320 can appreciate it's his consistency and willingness to call out 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.680 his side when he believes they're going in the wrong direction. Now, 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.760 I'll tell you I had an opportunity to meet Bill 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:39.280 maher I was actually called by someone that you all 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.520 may know, some of you may love some of you 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.080 may not love her, but and Colter called me up 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.800 one day while I was in l A at my 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.600 home and she said, hey, Bill says that he's available 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.120 for dinner on Friday at the Polo Lounge. And I 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.560 immediately said Bill who, And she said, Bill Maher, he 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:02.040 can come have dinner with us after for his show. So, man, 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.600 that's interesting. You know, obviously seen Bill Maher on television. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.960 I'm interested in his point of view, and I was 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:12.040 more so looking forward to a robust conversation, a debate, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.839 if you will, the talk of politics, culture, and see 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.240 where he's coming from beyond the TV screen, because some 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.720 people are totally different than they are on television. And 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.520 I found Bill Maher to be a very reasonable guy 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.520 on a number of issues. So I was kind of 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:33.000 surprised by that, especially considering how polarizing he's seemed to be. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.600 And he sometimes makes them really uh, I mean to 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.920 put it lightly, some wrong predictions on things. He talked 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.800 about Russia Gate as an example of something that Trump 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.560 he colluded with Russia and later admitted that it was wrong. 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:52.000 He called it erroneous reporting. So he's made some statements 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.840 He's talked about faith in a negative way, and we're 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.760 talking about uh, anybody believing because he's an atheist. But 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.600 then on some of these political issues I find him 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:05.040 to be in some cases correct. You know. It's it's 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.040 interesting that he talked about the progressive phobia. He talked about, 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.080 you know, talking about race and how people feel as 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.840 though we've not made any progress to a more perfect union, 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.920 which I think that is a lie. The notion in 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.200 America has made no progress towards a more perfect union 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:23.800 is absurd. It's a false narrative. And just to just 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.200 to give you a little bit of a fact right here, 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:31.400 according to Pew Research Center, of all US newlyweds had 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.800 a spouse of a different race or ethnicity, compared to 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:40.760 just three in n seven. You can talk about the 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:45.320 fact that being accused of racism as a social death 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.000 sentence these days, or rather, I mean that, let's be clear, 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.760 maybe being accused of racism on the right as a 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.599 as a death sentence, because people like Senator white House, 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.200 who we recently discovered belongs to a whites only club, 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:01.760 is what the report things said. He belongs to a 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.599 white only club, And it's been reported and I've not 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.640 seen any condemnation from the Democratic Party. I've not seen 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.520 anything from the White House. You talk about Hunter Biden, 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.479 I mean he's been accused of racism, and rightfully, so 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.880 you see him and I've talked about it on this episode, 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.840 on an episode of this podcast before. If you haven't 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.120 listened to it about Hunter Biden, take a listen. He 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.479 in word in word in word, Hennessy rates in words 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.680 is what is what he told his attorney. He used 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.960 the actual in word over text message. It has been reported, 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:34.440 no condemnation from the Democratic Party, no statement from the 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:39.440 White House. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden himself now has the ability 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.279 to sell art pieces for fifty thousand or hundreds of 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.000 thousands of dollars since that incident has occurred. If it 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:48.880 was a Republican I don't have to tell you what 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.760 what it would be at this point. I think you 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.719 already know that. We got a very bunch of very 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.320 smart people listening to me right now, so you understand that. 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.440 But it's not even about that your side or my 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.400 side per se. It's not about that in the sense 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:04.880 that right should be right and wrong should be wrong. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.840 And that's why I can appreciate the sentiment from Bill Maher. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.640 We got a black vice president, y'all, we had a 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:18.600 former president that was African American. A number of counties 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.720 supported Barack Obama. A lot of people were inspired by 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:27.599 Barack Obama. Even Republicans have admitted that we have made 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.680 tremendous progress in this country. That doesn't mean we're done. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.880 I think there's some issues that need to be taken 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:35.760 care of them. Talking about police reform, I think that's 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.120 an issue, and we just found out that Tim Scott 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.360 has come to a deal with some Democrats for bipartisan 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.159 framework for police reform. So we're not done, by no measure. 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:49.320 But to say that things are so bad and they're 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:54.440 so just out of control, it's a lie. And I 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.080 think we need to just admit that to ourselves. We 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.280 made a lot of progress. There's more work to be done, 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.960 but we made a lot of progress. You know. I 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:08.640 think two reasons why the Democratic Party will continue to 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:13.320 push this the notion that things are so bad, and 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.400 I think it's it's important for us all to understand 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.040 the why of it. I think back when I was 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.440 growing up and I was on the South side of Chicago, 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.520 and we would see the politicians that would come into 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:30.080 our neighborhoods on a pretty uh, inconsistent basis. So when 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:31.680 I say that, I'm talking about the only time you 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:35.320 really saw them was around election time. And they make 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.440 all these promises. They would make all these promises, how 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.560 they're gonna fix this, fix that, do this, just give 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.320 them a chance to reelect them, whatever the case, and 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.520 you look around, nothing gets done. You don't see him 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:51.000 again into the next election. And with people they go 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.760 at them. And I'm talking about the constituents in the 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:57.120 neighborhood who challenged them and say, well, you said this 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.840 was gonna happen, and it didn't happen. What would they do. 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:05.080 They would blame racism on their own party. Mind you. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:11.600 They would say the politicians, which were the senior Democrats, uh, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.320 were white that were in the areas of downtown in 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.360 the North Side, which is in areas where you mostly 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.000 see white residents or constituents. They would say, they're giving 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.680 them all the resources. They don't care about us. They're 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.600 racist people, these white politicians. And then you look and 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.800 you say, man, y'all belong to the same party. You're 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:35.400 comfortable being in the party with these racist people who 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:40.000 seemingly don't keep their promises and are withholding resources from 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:44.440 your community. Yeah, that's what they would say. And you 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.320 know what the truth of the matter is, especially on 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.400 the national level, they keep the lie going and I 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:54.040 can call it the big lie if you will, because 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.880 they want to lock in a permanent base of voters. 0:08:56.920 --> 0:09:01.640 They're called African Americans, who they know are people who 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.120 care a lot about racism because we've experienced these policies 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.719 of racism. We've experienced what the Democrats done in terms 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.440 of Jim Crow. We've seen that, we've seen slavery, we've 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.840 seen even Uh died Frank Uh. Something passed under the 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:20.760 Obama administration which really put the same standards of these 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.240 major banks like JP Morgan Chase Bank of America on 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.360 small community banks that were black owned, random out of 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.760 business they couldn't afford to keep up. So now we 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.280 have less black banks. We're talking about banks in which 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:35.080 African Americans who may not have had the best credit profile, 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.480 they might not have had it, those banks were more 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.040 willing to lend than the JP Morgan shakes in the 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.440 Banks of America. They were much more willing. This is 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.000 what democratic policies, policies have done to the African American community, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.640 and they keep up the narrative of racism, which does exist. 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.319 I'm not saying that it doesn't exist, so I don't 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.960 want anybody to misunderstand me here. It does exist, but 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:58.680 they need to get things set straight in their own 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:03.160 house before they do anything. But it's not just the politicians. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.120 Mara even goes after fellow comedian Kevin Hart, who is 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.640 arguably the biggest star in the business. There is a 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.400 recurrent theme on the far left that things have never 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.319 been worse. Kevin Hard expressed a view many hold when 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.400 he told The New York Times, You're witnessing white power 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.959 and white privilege at an all time high. This is 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.920 one of the big problems with wokeness, that what you 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.920 say doesn't have to make sense or jibe with the facts. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:36.480 Wherever be challenged, lest the challenge itself be conflated with racism. 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.640 But saying white power and privilege is at an all 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:44.319 time high, it's just ridiculous. Higher than a century ago, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.880 the year of the Tulsa race massacre, higher than the 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:52.360 years when the KKK rode unchecked and Jim Crow went unchallenged, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.720 higher than the nineteen sixties when the Supremes and Willie 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.360 Mays still couldn't stay in the same hotel as the 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.480 white people they were working with higher than during slavery, 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.120 and I mean actual slavery, not Prince doesn't like his 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:16.360 record contract slavery. Racism is still, unfortunately still with us. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:22.920 We have the footage in policing, housing, job discrimination, segregated schools, 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.200 wealth inequality. The legacy of injustice sadly lives on and 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:32.000 demands remedial action. I understand as best I can how 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:36.240 racism sends a person's soul so much that they might 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.199 see it everywhere, but seeing clearly is necessary for actually 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:44.960 fixing problems. And clearly racism is simply no longer everywhere. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.720 It's not in my home, and it probably isn't in yours, 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.000 if I read my audience right, and I think I do. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.760 For most of the country, the most unhipped thing you 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.920 could ever be today is a racist. Even Derek shaw 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.360 And was not backed up by his fellow officers, and 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.840 that never used to happen. The low point of race 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:11.439 relations wasn't Kim Kardashian wearing corn rows, even though it 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.040 happened on Snapchat, and George Wallace standing in the doorway didn't. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.280 Because here's the thing, kids, there actually was a world 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:22.640 before you got here. Again, I'm pretty sure you're scratching 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:27.960 your head saying Bill Maher said that. Yes, folks, Bill 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:31.280 Maher said that, I'm sure a lot of you are shocked. 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.840 And I'm gonna be honest, I've been shocked. I've been 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.880 watching on a weekly basis. I've been seeing some of 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.559 the things that you've been saying. I mean, attacking a 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:46.400 fellow comedian, uh, someone who you know, arguably is the 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.680 most successful comedian in the business. Kevin Hard is everywhere, 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:54.800 and it's so shocking. With as much success as um, 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.160 Kevin Hard is game for him to say that white 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:01.160 supremacy is at all time high. Now, this isn't a 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.800 defense of white supremacists, because they exist. I want to 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.360 be clear about that. But you and I damn well 0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.880 know that that cannot be true. Bro, You're in every movie. 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.280 This guy is in every movie he's directing, he's producing, 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.960 They're throwing money at him. If white supremacy was supremacy, 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:22.920 was it all time high? You could not be in 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.720 a position to even make that comment with it actually 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:30.959 getting a response. Come on, Kevin Hart, Come on, bro, 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:35.280 do better. Don't jump on the woke bagwagon's because it 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.360 seems to be a lot of media light there. Let's 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.720 speak truth. We can be consistent and our values. We 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.240 can tell the truth because there's enough messed up stuff 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:47.600 going on out here that you can be honest and 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.200 consistent and you can say, man, you know things, uh 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.520 may not be exactly how I would want to see him. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.400 I think there's a lot of progress to be made, 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.120 but certainly there's been a lot of progress. Had Remember 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.040 Jada Pickett Smith when she said Hollywood all white. I 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.400 don't know if y'all remember that. Jada Pickett Smith, her 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.400 husband is Will Smith. She said, you know, everybody who's 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.640 winning an award is all white. Hollywood is all white. 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.640 Where's the black actress and the actors? And and this 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.320 thing really really moved. It became a trending topic, I 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.000 think on Twitter, but certainly on social media. Everyone was 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.520 talking about it. It was all a buzz. Now you 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.720 see these awards show. You see all these black actors 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.720 that are winning awards, directors, producers, etcetera, etcetera. And Kevin 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.840 Hard is one of those people. So how could you 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.200 say white supremacy is at an all time high. What 0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:39.320 sense does that make? This is where we are now 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:43.640 in our country. Whatever makes it's gonna make the most noise, 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.960 gets the most attention. Saying white supremacy is at an 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.200 all time high gets the most attention. It's gonna get 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.400 the most headlines. That's what people are doing these days. 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.840 Is not based in truth. It's not factual, and the 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:58.440 left needs to hear bier Mar's message. They need to 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:02.320 hear it. Now. This wasn't Bill Maher's first time attacking 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.200 his own side. Back in April, he sounded an awful 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:10.280 lot like a conservative while discussing COVID, the media and 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.240 the less irrational alarmist approach to the pandemic. Don't spend 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.400 me when it comes to my health. Over the past year, 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.920 the COVID pandemic has prompted the medical establishment, the media, 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.960 and the government to take a scared straight approach to 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.440 getting the public to comply with their recommendations. Well, I'm 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:34.320 from a different school, giving me straight, doc because in 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.920 the long run, that always works better than you can't 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:48.920 handle the truth. Um now, I get it. Doctors tell 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.880 people lies because they don't trust you to finish the 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:58.080 antibiotics after your dick starts feeling better. And media, well, 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.320 I think we all know if it bleeds, it leads. 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.720 The more they can, the more they can get you 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.680 to stay inside and watch their panic porn, the higher 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:10.480 the ratings. Researchers at Dartmouth built a database recently monitoring 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.280 the COVID coverage of the major news outlets across the 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.840 world and found that while other countries mixed the good 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.400 news in with the bad, the US national media reported 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.640 almost bad news, and even as things were getting better, 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:28.160 the reporting remained negative. Trust and traditional media has declined 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:32.040 to an all time low, and many news professionals are 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:38.360 determined to do something about it. Right They're not. They're 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.640 really not. Now, I'll tell you by the numbers. For 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.840 the first time ever, fewer than half of all Americans 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:50.000 um have trust and traditional media. According to some data 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:54.520 that came out of Americans agree with the statement of 0:16:54.600 --> 0:17:01.000 journalists and reporters are purposely trying to miss lead people 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:05.160 by saying things they know are foss or gross exaggerations. 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:09.480 Fifty six percent of Americans I didn't say, fifty six 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:14.399 percent of Republicans I said, fifty six percent of Americans 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:20.639 believe the journalists and reporters are lying to us. This 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:25.560 was in January. This came out and Axios. This wasn't 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.600 in a right wing blog. This came out in Axios. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:34.040 Fifty eight percent of Americans think that most news organizations 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:37.560 are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:44.680 than with informing the public. Fifty eight percent feel this way. Now, 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.520 if you don't believe there's been media amount practice when 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.760 it comes to COVID and just about any other issue, 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.960 let's go back to Hunter Biden in an N word. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.240 If it were someone else, Now, let's let's not even 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:58.960 say if it was Don Junior, Donald Trump Junior, or 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.720 a Republican forget, I don't even don't even think about that. 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:05.199 Let's let's not even talk about the political parties and 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.639 how it would have impacted them. If it was a 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.359 sixteen year old girl. New New York Times I believe 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:13.800 it was. The New York Times did a piece on 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.840 the sixteen year old who used the INN word profusely, 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.680 and they reported on her and she lost all kind 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.679 of uh college opportunities. You can mention anybody, just a 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:28.960 regular person, be the manager at Hooters now I did 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.359 use the word Hooters. I actually enjoyed their chicken wings. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.639 I had something yesterday. I usually get the chicken wings, 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.520 curly fries, barbecue sauce hot on the side, and bread it. 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:42.080 So I I enjoyed the food the food. Let's let's 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.880 just imagine if it was Hooters for a second. If 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.680 the manager of Hooters sent text messages like Hunter Biden 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:53.560 and someone saw that, it would have one likely made 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.320 the local news to probably became a national story. Three 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.320 he would have been fired the same day, and everyone 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.000 will be talking about how bad racism is in America. 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:07.200 The President of the United States, his son, Hunter Biden, 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.920 did the N words at the N word profusely, unchecked, 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:16.479 no condemnation, so no media holding him to account. I mean, 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.480 there were some outlets that reported in Fox News reported it, um. 0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.679 I think the Hell might have did something on it. 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.879 There was a New York Post did something on it. 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.119 I know that for sure. There were some outlets, but 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:29.119 we're talking about the range of New York New York Times. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.200 I didn't see anything, and it's still to this day, 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.960 haven't seen anything about it. Not seeing anything in the 0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:37.320 Washington Post, not seeing anything in these major publications that 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:41.880 oftentimes talk about these issues. It's media malpractice at all 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.520 time high. And we see people do not trust the 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:50.200 media anymore, and for good reason, and for absolute good reason. 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.119 Now there's some good news organizations out there. There are 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.159 some great journalists out there there do their job without 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.600 fear of favor to any political party. They just do 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:03.040 their job, and we respect those folks, and our hats 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.600 goals off to them. But I'll tell you there needs 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:08.800 to be more of this truth telling. And I'm liking 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:11.479 what Bill Martins saying. Let's roll that next clip. And 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:15.680 politicians they lie because it's their nature to cover their 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.840 ass they don't get blamed if things goes badly, and 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:27.960 also to keep in practice. But when all of our 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:34.000 sources for medical information have an agenda to spin us, yeah, 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:37.679 you wind up with a badly misinformed population, including on 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:42.720 the left. Liberals often mocked the Republican misinformation bubble, which 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:45.719 of course is very real. Ask anyone who works at 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:52.000 Hillary's pizza parlor. And we do know conservatives have some 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.920 loopy ideas about COVID, like the third of Republicans who 0:20:55.920 --> 0:20:58.720 believe it couldn't be spread by someone showing no symptoms. 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.040 But what about liberals? You know the high information by 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:07.400 the science people. In a recent Gallop survey, Democrats did 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.439 much worse than Republicans and getting the right answer to 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:14.000 the fundamental question, what are the chances that someone who 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:18.280 gets COVID will need to be hospitalized? The answer is 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:23.800 between one and five of Democrats thought it was over 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:31.840 another put the chances at so almost of Democrats are 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.760 wildly off on this key question, and also have a 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:40.040 greatly exaggerated view of the danger of COVID two and 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:45.360 the mortality rate among children, all of which explains why 0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:48.119 today the states with the highest sheriff of schools that 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:51.760 are still closed are all blue states. So if the 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.040 right wing media bubble has to own things like climate 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:59.960 change denial, shouldn't liberal media have to answer for how 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.959 did your audience wind up believing such a bunch of 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:15.119 crap about COVID. A new report in the Atlantic says 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.840 the media won't stop putting pictures of the beach on 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:22.119 stories about COVID, even though it's looking increasing like the 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:26.399 beach is the best place to avoid it. Sunlight is 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.879 the best disinfected, and vitamin D is the key to 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:34.360 a robust immune system. Texas lifted its COVID restrictions recently, 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:37.639 and their infection rates went down in part because of 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:43.280 people getting outside. Bill Maher is saying, hey, liberals, why 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:46.520 aren't you following the science, the same thing conservatives have 0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:49.679 been saying since the start of a pandemic. If you 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:53.800 look at the numbers, if you look it folks, the 0:22:54.119 --> 0:22:58.280 like Rhondo Santiz, who clearly followed the science in his state, 0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.400 if you look at people like Gavin Newsom, and let's 0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.480 be honest, folks, I want to tell you I lived 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:11.320 in Los Angeles since last year, and uh may, I 0:23:11.359 --> 0:23:14.399 couldn't do it anymore. I could not be locked in 0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:17.040 my house. I was locked in the house for two months. 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:21.359 Couldn't go anywhere. I lived in this really fancy building 0:23:21.440 --> 0:23:24.480 downtown l A. I couldn't use any of the manise. 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:26.080 I couldn't go to the pool. And I'm not trying 0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:27.919 to say that I'm so good, but yeah, it was 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:29.840 a great building. I worked hard. I'm glad to have 0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.960 lived in that building. But I couldn't use anything. Paying 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:35.120 the same amount of rent all of this other stuff, 0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:37.119 and you couldn't use anything. And Gavin Newsom and the 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:41.680 politicians there seemingly didn't have it figured out because they didn't, 0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:45.080 and it took me all of a week to figure out, 0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.359 maybe I should move to a place where this freedom. 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:50.359 That was after two months trying to see what was 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.480 going on with COVID, I said, man, you know what, 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:56.560 Florida's open, Miami's open. And it took me two weeks 0:23:56.600 --> 0:24:01.120 to move there where people seemingly by did by the science, 0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:06.359 they followed the rules. And then we saw the distinction 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:11.480 between places like California and Florida, where California a very 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:15.960 large state, Florida very large state. You saw California completely 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:20.600 shut down, Florida open. What was the difference the numbers 0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:24.240 of COVID infections through the roof in California and not 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:29.480 so much in Florida, an open state. Think about that 0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:33.800 for a minute, an open state, less infections. There was 0:24:33.880 --> 0:24:35.760 one group that followed the science and the other one 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.760 didn't it and jeopardize their population even more. Bill Maher, 0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.920 he shocked people when he defended Republican Governor RHN de 0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:48.040 Santis from the attacks of the media and the Democratic Party. 0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:50.520
