1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: So Biden's first year in office as president has officially 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: come to fruition. It has happened. He's been there an 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: entire year. Part of me actually thinks I should probably 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: say congratulations at Joe Biden for even making it a year. 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: What does the first year look like? A border crisis 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: which is out of control. I was just at the 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: border over the last several days, and there are now 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: locals who are refusing to call border patrol because they 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: are being attacked after they call border patrol. That's right, 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: they're being attacked. There are people they're saying, don't call 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: border patrol now because the cartel members that coyotes are 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: watching and if they see you spot them and then 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: call in, they will actually come after you and they 14 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: will shoot at you. It is actually happening at the border. 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: We're even told stories about game wardens who have been 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: calling in illegal immigrant crossings and they have been targeted 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: by those in Mexico. Why Because they can get away 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: with it, So why not. That's one of the biggest 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: issues that we now have at the border. We now 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: have fifty sixty seventy people coming across the time and 21 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: when they get to America, they ask for you to 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: call the border patrol agents because they know they're probably 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: not going to be sent back home. They just want 24 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: to make it to America. This is Biden's America year one. Now, 25 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: a year ago, I was in the same exact spot, 26 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: the same exact place in Mexico on the border on 27 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: the Rio Grant a year ago when Donald Trump was president. 28 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: Still this was not the case, not even close. When 29 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: you go to the border then there was very little traffic, 30 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: very small numbers. Of course, there were people still trying 31 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: to come across, but we were active. Fast forward one 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: year later, and it's very clear that this president put 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: out a welcome mat and that welcome at is being used. 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 1: It is being used on a daily basis by thousands 35 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: of people trying to get across the border. The resources 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: that I saw at the border were unbelievable vans to 37 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: carry large numbers of illegal immigrants. We saw helicopters, blackhawks, 38 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: king airs, we saw drones, we saw blimps. We saw 39 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: it all. Now, this is what the sit of Texas 40 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: is doing because the federal government is not involved in 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: much of what I just described, because Biden said, when 42 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: I get elected, it's a welcome, Matt, come on over. 43 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: We won't kick you out. Now. That's just one of 44 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 1: the major problems. And usually traditionally when you're the president, nited, 45 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: it's America. Having one problem is bad enough. Let's move 46 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: on to the supply chain crisis again, something that has 47 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: been created by this present that was not there beforehand. 48 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: This is the present that did not do enough to 49 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: get supply chain issues under control early on. He's a 50 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: guy that didn't mandate or advocate or demand answers for 51 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: not running our ports twenty four seven because of union 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: workers and bureaucracy in California. This is a man there 53 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: is nothing more than a puppet for the Chinese who 54 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: gets to decide what we get when we get it, 55 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: and we are totally dependent on them. Then you look 56 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: at the issue of inflation. If you made fifty grand 57 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 1: last year, it's worth about forty five thousand this year 58 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: because the price of goods have skyrocket, the price of 59 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: services have skyrocket. You had that with supply chain supplying 60 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: demand issues which have had prices skyrocket. It's the worst 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: in my entire lifetime. Now again I go back to 62 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: a normal presency. Any one of the issues I just 63 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: mentioned would be enough for people to start going, oh 64 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: my gosh, it's not going well. But now we're on 65 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: to a long list. You have rising gas prices that 66 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: have really hurt middle Americans and poor Americans more than 67 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: anybody else, because when you used to be able to 68 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: go get a gas tank at thirty five dollars and 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: now you're paying fifty eight bucks, it hurts and it 70 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: takes disposable income out of your pocket. How about more 71 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: COVID deaths have happened now under this President of the 72 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: United States of America while he has the vaccine than 73 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: actually happened under Donald Trump's presidency all in his first year. 74 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: He has a thirty three percent approval rating right now. 75 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: This because he's done things that were unconscionable, like leaving 76 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 1: Americans behind in Afghanistan, abandoning American allies in Afghanistan, abandoning 77 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: actual American cistens in Afghanistan. And then there was some 78 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: good news. The good news was the Supreme Court struck 79 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: down the vaccine mandate, and the Dominoes are already following 80 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: ge which has government contracts. That's why they went with 81 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: a vaccine mandate has now suspended their COVID nineteen vaccine 82 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: or test requirements after the US Supreme Court ruling. That 83 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: is the first domino of a major company that has fallen, 84 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: and more will happen because the Supreme Court's ruling. What 85 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: are the President ninetents America have to say about all 86 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: of this when it comes to the Supreme Court? While 87 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: our president is clearly a tyrant, a tyrant I would 88 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: argue with clear cognitive issues. If you've watched them recently, 89 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. And Biden now calls 90 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: on employers to implement coronavirus and vaccine mandates despite the 91 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: Supreme Court ruling. That is exactly what a tyrant would do. 92 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: And if you think the other little tyrants that are 93 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: obsessed with the big tyrant are going to back down, 94 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: you're wrong. This is an article that came out over 95 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: the weekend. A Pulitzer Prize winning LA Times columnists Michael 96 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: hills Zick has now called for death of anti vax 97 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: Deputy DA to be mocked. That's right, along with all 98 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: unvaccinated who've died from COVID. No other way to make 99 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: sure the lessons of these teachual moments are heard. The 100 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: columnists rights. I'm going to read for you part of 101 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: this so you understand the column's title, mocking anti vaxxers. 102 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: COVID desk is ghoulish, yes, but may be necessary by 103 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: Michael hilt Zick. Among all the ways that COVID nineteen 104 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: effects our lives, a pandemic confronts us with a profound 105 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: moral dilemma. How should we react to the deaths of 106 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: the unvaccinated. On the one hand, a hallmark of civilized 107 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: thought is the sense that every life is precious. On 108 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: the other, those who have deliberately flouted sober medical advice 109 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: by refusing a vaccine known to reduce the risk of 110 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: serious disease from the virus, including the risk to others, 111 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: and end up in the hospital or the grave can 112 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: be viewed as receiving their just desserts. This is actually 113 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: in in the La Times. This is the psychopass of 114 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: the left, defending the psychopaths of the lefts and defending 115 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: the president of the United States of America. The vaccine 116 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: is not the cure to COVID, and mandates don't work. 117 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: That is what Kelly Earnby said before her unvaccinated death 118 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: from COVID, which they are mocking. That's even more true 119 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: of those who not only refuse the vaccine for themselves, 120 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: but publicly advocated that others do so. It has become 121 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: common online and in social media for vaccine refusers and 122 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: anti vaccine advocates to become the target of verticule after 123 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: they come down with COVID nineteen and especially if they 124 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: die from it. The LA Times Rights. Now, what's even 125 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: more disgusting about this La Times article is it actually 126 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: talks about a website that's been named for the former 127 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: Republican candidate for president who became one of the first 128 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: political notables to come to the disease after publicly defying 129 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: social distancing measures. They're referring to Herman Kaine. They're actually 130 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: giving out what they're now referring to, these six psychopaths, 131 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: the same people that believe, by the way, an abortion 132 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: on demand. So and part of me says, we really 133 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised by this. They now give out it 134 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: the quote Herman Kaine Award to people who die. There's 135 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: other sites out there like sorry anti vaccer dot com 136 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: that hosts snippets and photographs of anti vaccine advocates, often 137 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: taken at their deathbeds to publicly mock them. The issue 138 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: of how to think the La Times says about the 139 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: deaths of unvaccine has been thrown into high relief locally 140 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: by the case of Kelly arneb, a prominent Orange County 141 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: Republican and deputy district attorney who crusade against vaccine mandates 142 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: and died of COVID around New Year's Day unvaccinated. Earnby's 143 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: death promptly came to symbolize the riff and a social 144 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: fabric caused by the ravages of COVID. Some online commentators 145 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: greeted her demise with glee. These the tyrants of the left, 146 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: These are the psychos and sickos in this country, provoking 147 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: her political friends to push back against what been chimpman, 148 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: a coast to Message OPI official called bigotry and hate 149 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: directed at her when she died. My colleague Nicholas Goldberg 150 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: recently talked about the rife and the social fabric that 151 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: this species of callous commentary represents. Mocking anti vaxers when 152 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: they get sick has become a bit of a sport. 153 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: He wrote, I have a slightly different take to be 154 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: in with let's stipulate that not all people unvaccinated against 155 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: COVID are alike. Some have remained unvaccinated for legitimate medical reasons. 156 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: They may be children for whom the co vaccine hasn't 157 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: yet been officially ruled safe, or people with genuine medical 158 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: reasons for avoiding the vaccine. Some may have legitimate, legitimately 159 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: faced obstacles in getting two a vaccine side and receive 160 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: the full series of shots before becoming exposed to the disease. 161 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: Others may have refused the vaccine because they've been deceived 162 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: by the misinformation and disinformation spread by the anti vaccine crowd, 163 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: such as anchors on Fox News. Yes, let's come after 164 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: every conservative and assume that we're all anti vactors, even 165 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: though it's Donald Trump and conservatives that advocated for Operation 166 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: Warp Speed. Yes, let's relight history and let's mock those 167 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: that die. This is the la times. I've warned you, 168 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: and I told you in our podcast this was coming. 169 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: I told you that the left wanted to divide this 170 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: country into two groups of people, those who have rights 171 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: and liberties only if you comply with it they believe in, 172 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: which is you must be vaccinated, and if you don't 173 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 1: comply and believe in that, then there will be hell 174 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: to pay. And that's exactly what we are witnessing right now. 175 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: And they want to blame people conservative commentators like myself, 176 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: even though actually vaccinated. The deaths of all those all 177 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: those victims are truly I guess they claim to be sad. Right. Finally, 178 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: there are those who have voiced public opposition to the vaccines, 179 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: not all of whom are unvaccinated themselves. Some have couched 180 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: their opposition and policy terms. Arnby fell into that category. 181 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: She asserted opposition not to the vaccines as such, but 182 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: to vaccination mandates. That would be me, by the way. 183 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: So I guess if I get COVID, even on vaccinated, 184 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: and die, then the lefts will the left will immediately 185 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: start writing articles about me and mock and laugh at 186 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: my death. That's the new normal now in America's media, 187 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: quote the La Times says, I don't think the government 188 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: should be in or excuse me, they quote, I should 189 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: say the now disease individual by saying, quote, I don't 190 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: think the government should be involved in mandating what vaccine 191 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: vaccinated people are, what vaccines people are taking, She said 192 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: during live stream town hall in November the third, twenty nineteen, 193 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: during an unsuccessful campaign for the States Assembly. If the 194 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: government is going to mandate vaccine, what else will they mandate? 195 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: And by the way, I couldn't agree more with that logic, right, 196 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: because if they want to take away all your rights 197 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: over a mandate of a vaccine, if you give them 198 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: that right, then what's next. That's exactly when the Supreme 199 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 1: Court said these psychopaths and tyrants are wrong. Of course, 200 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: the LA Times will overlook that the town hall pre 201 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: day of the pandemic. The mandate that Earnby opposed then 202 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: was a law tightening the immunization rules for California school 203 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: children by eliminating exemptions based on personal belief. Again makes sense. 204 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: These psychopaths, these tyrants of the public government, they have 205 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: no problem taking away every single right that you have 206 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: because they don't believe that you should have rights. They 207 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: believe the government should dictate to you what your rights 208 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: are depending on what day of the week it is 209 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: and what you did to make them happen, which means 210 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: you have no rights at all. Back to the LA Times, 211 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: but Earnby made clear that her opposition extended to the 212 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: COVID vaccines. In August, she posts a statement on her 213 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 1: Facebook page supporting Huntington Beats firefighters who were opposing a 214 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: vaccine mandate. By the way, if anybody was honest and 215 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: true to their convictions, it's this woman who died. Earnby. 216 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: She wasn't against vaccines. She was against mandating vaccines from 217 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: the federal government. And she stayed consistent. And this is 218 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: who the left is cheering her death. Quote. The vaccine 219 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: is not the cure to COVID and mandates won't work, 220 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: she wrote, And she was right. It should be clear 221 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: that opposing vaccine mandates as a substitute for opposing vaccination 222 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: itself is a fundamentally incoherent position. The writer writes, it's 223 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: a little more than the Garden Valley small government Republican ideology. 224 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: That's what it was in Earnby's hands. Now again, look 225 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: at what she wrote. This individual who's a Republican said 226 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: the vaccine is not the cure to COVID. All we 227 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: can all agree that's true. Now, hell, even Fauci is 228 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: now saying that we can see that mandates don't work. 229 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: And by the way, anywhere in the world where they 230 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: don't have the same rights we have here. Where they've 231 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: done vaccine mandates, it hasn't worked for them either. I 232 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: want small government, I want lower taxes. I want to 233 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: protect our freedoms, she said during her discussion of vaccine 234 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: mandates at the Down Hall. What's wrong with that? Well, 235 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: this is why liberals hater. Contrary to Earnby's assertions, however, 236 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: mandates do work. Requirements that people provide evidence of vaccination 237 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: before attending public events or entering restaurants or bars have 238 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: been associated with heightened vaccine rates abroad. So, in other words, 239 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: mandates right, you have no rights, you must do it, 240 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: and we will divide you into two sectors in society, 241 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: and the La Times is advocating for this and writing right. 242 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: They're saying, look, we've seen around the world. If you 243 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: take away people's rights and you tell them they can't 244 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: do things unless they do what you tell them to do, 245 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: it will work. That's what they're that's literally their argument. 246 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: Take away everyone's personal rights and then you can get 247 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: society to get on board. And if you don't, they're 248 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: gonna have a horrible life because we won't let them 249 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: do anything. As for their vaccine mandates, is a slippery 250 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: slope to more government control, as Earnby maintained government mandates 251 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: have been with us for untold decades. The writer rights, 252 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: we require drivers to wear seat belts. Well, there's that's 253 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: a stupid analogy, and I'll tell you why driving is 254 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: not a mandate. No one's mandated to drive. Driving by 255 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: the way as a privilege. It's not a right. And 256 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: if this idiot who wrote this article understood rights, she 257 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: would never use as part of her argument, this again ignorant, 258 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: flawed logic argument that somehow driving is a right. It's 259 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: not a right, it's a privilege. We take away the 260 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: privilege all the time from people that drive drunk, people 261 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: that drive too fast, people that have too many racks. 262 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: It's a privilege, not a right to drive in America. 263 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: So the idea that she's gonna try to connect vaccine 264 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: mandates to driving and driver's license mandates is maybe one 265 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: of the dumbest arguments I've ever seen. But again, this 266 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: is the La Times and the Left. What do you 267 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: expect We require drivers to wear a seat belt? She says, 268 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: cars to be equipped with air bags and drivers to 269 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: observe speed limits and avoid pedestrians. We banned smoking in 270 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: public areas again another bad example, but I won't waste 271 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: your time on that. I think you can connect those dots. 272 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: Vaccine mandates themselves have been part of the educational system 273 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: for longer than anyone can remember. In every state in 274 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: the Union. California requires kate through twelve pupils to have 275 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: as many as twenty doses of immunsations against polio, measles, mums, robella, 276 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: whooping cough, have tis in, chicken pox. So, in other words, 277 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: go get this one or did you forget to mention? 278 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: And you're closing argument early times that all of those 279 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: things you can actually have personal beliefs exemptions from. We 280 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: haven't really mandated them. We give you a way to 281 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: not take them if you have a problem. That's where 282 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: you're again wanting to take away all of our rights 283 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: right now. You don't want us to have the right 284 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: to say no. You only want to have the right 285 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: to mandate what we can and cannot do. That's the difference. Now, 286 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: that's the problem. Now you want to mandate everything. All 287 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: of the vaccines that you just mentioned, every single one 288 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: of them, every single one of them. You could get 289 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: a religious exemption or a personal exemption from those vaccines. 290 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: So when you say what changed, you should be able 291 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: to answer your own question this one. You don't want 292 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 1: anyone to be able to be exempt from anything that 293 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: you mandate any longer. That is the problem, and it's 294 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: a big one. Now. I want you to hear how 295 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 1: the other media has jumped on board of this conversation. 296 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: This happened on CNN from Michael smirkonnisey as a weekend show, 297 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: where he talked about maybe should we mock Americans who 298 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: die of COVID after opposing vaccine mandates? Take a listen 299 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: to how he describes it in a disgusting way. Question 300 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: peculiar to these days? Is it wrong to mock people 301 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: who publicly crusade against the COVID vaccine and then die 302 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: of the disease? Or does it drive home the message 303 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: about saving lives? Their entire websites that are devoted to 304 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: such mockery. Sorry anti vaxer dot com gleefully tally's stories 305 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: and photos of anti vaccine advocates who end up in 306 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: the ICU, intubated and or day from the disease. One 307 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: recent case of this kind of tasteless taunting spurred two 308 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: dueling opinion pieces in the Los Angeles Times. Orange County 309 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: Republican Kelly Earnby, a former assistant DA and State Assembly 310 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: candidate who had lobbied publicly against the COVID vaccines, passed 311 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: away earlier this month at age forty six from COVID complications. 312 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: She was unvaccinated. Earnby's death unleashed a torrent of reaction 313 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: on the Internet on her own Facebook page, under a 314 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 1: Christmas collage that she had posted there, now more than 315 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: forty six hundred comments summer sympathy, notes many others are not. 316 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: In response to the piling on LA Times, columnist Nicholas 317 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: Goldberg wrote, I don't understand how crowing over the death 318 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: of others further's useful debate or increases vaccination rates. But 319 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: a few days later, Goldberg's colleague Michael Hiltzig published a 320 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: column expressing the exact opposite quote, mocking anti vaxer's COVID 321 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: deaths is ghoulish, yes, but maybe necessary. Michael Hilson joins me. 322 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: Now he's the LA Times Business columnist. He's also a 323 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: Publitzer Prize winner. Michael, Let's make clear at the outset 324 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: you are not talking about the everyday people who don't 325 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: get vaxed sadly contract COVID and die. You're talking about 326 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: people with a platform, right, Yes, Because if you disagree 327 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: with the Left, if you disagree with the White House, 328 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: if you disagree with Joe Biden, they believe you should 329 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: be publicly ridiculed. This is no different than public flogging. 330 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: This is no different than taking somebody out into the 331 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: Times Square and mocking them and letting people throw things 332 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: at them. It's no different. Listen to what they're they're saying. 333 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: They're saying, look, if you come out and say you're 334 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: against vaccines, right and officially who argues against vaccine dies 335 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: from COVID nineteen sparks big reaction online, right, And they're saying, 336 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: this is basically really what you deserve. This is what 337 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: you deserve. You deserve this that's I mean, this is 338 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: how sick these people are. They're actually hoping that people 339 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: get COVID who have been public figures saying and questioning 340 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: the vaccine or not taking the vaccine. And in that scenario, 341 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: they believe that you should immediately be mocked and your 342 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: death should be celebrated, because it doesn't it just mocking 343 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: someone dying. This is celebrating your demise, celebrating your death. 344 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: It's sick, that's correct, Michael. In my column I made 345 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 1: a distinction. I pointed out that the unvaccinated really fallen 346 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: free category. There are those who can't get vaccinated for 347 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 1: legitimate reasons, small children, people with genuine medical contraindication vaccination. 348 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: Then there's a fairly large group of people who I 349 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: think have been duped into resisting the vaccine, duped by 350 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: misinformation and disinformation about the vaccines and sort of nonsense 351 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: about preserving our freedoms in the face of this pandemic. 352 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 1: Real targets who are important here are those who spent 353 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: the last few months or years of their lives crusading 354 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: against sensible, safe policies such as vaccination and social distancing 355 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: and what have you, and ended up paying the ultimate 356 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: price for their own basically their own funneling. I'm gonna 357 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: put on the screen the paragraph that I highlighted from 358 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: your column. It's this mockery is not necessarily the wrong 359 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: reaction to those who publicly mocked anti COVID measures and 360 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: encouraged others to follow suit before they perished of the disease. 361 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: The dangers of which they belittled. Expand on that. Sure, 362 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: you know, we have a sort of a cultural habit 363 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: of not speaking ill of the dead, of treating the 364 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: deceased looking at the good they've done during their lives. 365 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that in this case that's entirely appropriate, 366 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: because so many of them actually have promoted reckless, dangerous policies, 367 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: and as I wrote there, they took innocent people along 368 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: with them. So there it is. If you don't agree 369 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: with the government, and you don't agree with the government's objective, 370 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: if you don't agree with what the state mandates that 371 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: you agree with or believe in, we will then cheer 372 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: on your death. This is happening in the United States 373 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: of America, not in another country. In America, you have 374 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: a president who was just shut down by the Supreme Court, 375 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: and even after he was shut down by the Supreme 376 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: Court with his vaccine mandates, he comes out and immediately 377 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: says that he believes that you should do it anyway 378 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: and not listen to the Supreme Court, which is psychotic. 379 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: This is, by the way, what a tyrant would do. 380 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: So apparently this is all they've got left. Folks, tell 381 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: you how to live your life. And if you don't 382 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: mocking you, if you die, you how many people have 383 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 1: died have been vaccinated this country a lot? Should we 384 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: mock them too? Should we mock people that die of 385 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: COVID that got vaccinated because they got vaccinated and quote, 386 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: it didn't work and it didn't save their life. Because 387 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: there have been people that have been vaccinated that have died. 388 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: That's inhumane. You know, I think that America is an 389 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 1: incredible country. I do not think that America is becoming 390 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: an even greater country right now based on what I'm seeing. 391 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: America should be better than this. America should never be 392 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: a place where people mock other people's death because they 393 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: get sick of a pandemic. They get sick during a 394 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: time of a pandemic, and just because you disagree on 395 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: how you want to medically approach that pandemic, you then 396 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: cheer on the deaths of people who die that you 397 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: disagree with. I'm not cheering for anyone to get COVID. 398 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: I'm not cheering for anyone to die. I think that's 399 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: pure evil. I think it's psycho I think it's sick. 400 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: And this is the Democratic Party and this is exactly 401 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: what they are cheering right now. It is pure evil 402 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: to do this. So when you see all the bad 403 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: news coming from this White House and you look at 404 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: this presence approval rating and you see how low it 405 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: is now at thirty three percent, never forget how they 406 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: treat you. Never forget what they think of you if 407 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: you don't agree with them, Because it's not just going 408 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: to be on COVID. I want to make that clear. Okay, 409 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: It's not just gonna be COVID. It's gonna be a 410 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: litany of other things. And they're gonna publicly shame you, 411 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: and they're gonna mock you, and they're gonna laugh at you, 412 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: and they're gonna treat you like you are less than 413 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna treat you like you are a subclass citizen. 414 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: They are going to treat you differently because you don't 415 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 1: go along with what they say you must believe in, 416 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: or what you must go along with. Remember this when 417 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,239 Speaker 1: it comes to election day, because this is all they 418 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: believe in right now. They believe it's appropriate to write 419 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: these types of columns, and they believe it's appropriate for 420 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: the government to take away your rights. When you've got 421 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: mainstream newspapers like the La Times, saying publicly that mocking 422 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: the death of Amphi of actors is now necessary to 423 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: create a teachable moment. You know you can't trust these people, 424 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: and you never should moving forward, because this is about power, 425 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: It is about control. It is about making sure that 426 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: no matter what they win and you lose, you either 427 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: get on your knees and kiss their feet, and if 428 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: you don't, they will come for you. They will wish 429 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: death on you, and they will celebrate it when you die. 430 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: And it's in writing now. This isn't speculation, it is 431 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: in writing. I hope every one of you will share 432 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: this podcast with your family and friends, and I will 433 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: see you back here tomorrow
