With civilian casualties mounting 4 00:00:23,577 --> 00:00:26,377 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, the White House officially declares its position that 5 00:00:26,457 --> 00:00:30,297 Speaker 1: Russia is committing war crimes. Also had a stunning emission 6 00:00:30,377 --> 00:00:33,097 Speaker 1: from The New York Times about the authenticity of Hunter 7 00:00:33,137 --> 00:00:36,177 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop to a look at those stories in tonight's 8 00:00:36,297 --> 00:00:45,417 Speaker 1: hold the Line, welcome to hold the on on buck Sexton. 9 00:00:45,537 --> 00:00:50,537 Speaker 1: The conflict in Ukraine drags on, gets worse, more civilian casualties, 10 00:00:50,537 --> 00:00:54,737 Speaker 1: more atrocities, and now as we see even war crimes 11 00:00:54,777 --> 00:01:00,457 Speaker 1: allegations being made by the Biden administration against Russia officially 12 00:01:00,577 --> 00:01:03,497 Speaker 1: and out in the open. Here a Secretary of State 13 00:01:03,537 --> 00:01:06,457 Speaker 1: blinkin saying that Russia is in fact committing war crimes 14 00:01:06,457 --> 00:01:10,697 Speaker 1: in Ukraine. Yesterday, President Biden said that, in his opinion, 15 00:01:11,377 --> 00:01:16,177 Speaker 1: war crimes have been committed in Ukraine. Personally, I agree 16 00:01:17,337 --> 00:01:21,497 Speaker 1: intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime. After all the 17 00:01:21,497 --> 00:01:24,457 Speaker 1: destruction of the past three weeks, I find it difficult 18 00:01:24,457 --> 00:01:29,097 Speaker 1: to conclude that the Russians are doing otherwise. I don't 19 00:01:29,097 --> 00:01:32,377 Speaker 1: think that Vladimir Putin really cares much. I think that 20 00:01:32,857 --> 00:01:35,617 Speaker 1: he would expect that he would not ever come under 21 00:01:35,617 --> 00:01:38,697 Speaker 1: the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, which Russia left 22 00:01:38,697 --> 00:01:43,137 Speaker 1: some years ago anyway, as a signatory. And he figures 23 00:01:43,177 --> 00:01:46,017 Speaker 1: that whatever he has to do to get his ultimate 24 00:01:46,017 --> 00:01:49,257 Speaker 1: objectives in Ukraine, he's willing to go to those lengths 25 00:01:49,337 --> 00:01:53,097 Speaker 1: we face with the Russians, we being, of course the West, 26 00:01:53,177 --> 00:01:58,897 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians America a very dedicated opponent here, one who 27 00:01:58,937 --> 00:02:03,697 Speaker 1: is ruthless and vicious and has certainly a willingness to 28 00:02:04,097 --> 00:02:07,897 Speaker 1: break not just the norms of warfare in a general sense, 29 00:02:07,937 --> 00:02:11,937 Speaker 1: but specifically to violate the Geneva Convention and engage in 30 00:02:12,097 --> 00:02:15,177 Speaker 1: war crimes. Now, what are we going to do about 31 00:02:15,177 --> 00:02:17,417 Speaker 1: all this? We've already put sanctions in place, We've given 32 00:02:17,417 --> 00:02:22,137 Speaker 1: more munitions. Well, the Biden administration has stepped up some 33 00:02:22,217 --> 00:02:25,297 Speaker 1: of the rhetoric, but not a whole lot has changed 34 00:02:25,377 --> 00:02:28,337 Speaker 1: or shifted about their ultimate position with regard to Ukraine. 35 00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:33,057 Speaker 1: Here is Nancy Pelosi, for example, who just a few 36 00:02:33,137 --> 00:02:34,737 Speaker 1: days ago was talking about how she won't want to 37 00:02:34,737 --> 00:02:37,537 Speaker 1: blow up all the different Russian tanks that she saw 38 00:02:37,537 --> 00:02:41,097 Speaker 1: in the long convoy Yeah, General Pelosi, it's a terrifying thought. 39 00:02:41,537 --> 00:02:45,697 Speaker 1: She says that Joe Biden has done a masterful job 40 00:02:45,857 --> 00:02:51,497 Speaker 1: managing the situation. Yeah. For second, and just say President 41 00:02:51,777 --> 00:02:56,297 Speaker 1: Biden has done a masterful job in managing in this 42 00:02:56,497 --> 00:03:04,217 Speaker 1: situation in a way that is collaborative, not condescending or dictating, 43 00:03:04,417 --> 00:03:11,457 Speaker 1: but collaborative. The unity of the Jesus, not only that 44 00:03:11,577 --> 00:03:21,217 Speaker 1: G seven, but the nature alliance has been remarkable to behold. 45 00:03:21,217 --> 00:03:24,497 Speaker 1: Biden has done a masterful job. It's terrifying that Nancy 46 00:03:24,497 --> 00:03:27,017 Speaker 1: Pelosi says that outlad with a straight face. And some 47 00:03:27,097 --> 00:03:30,577 Speaker 1: people in this country, we'll believe her. Biden voters will 48 00:03:30,617 --> 00:03:35,337 Speaker 1: believe anything it seems that they are told. And there 49 00:03:35,337 --> 00:03:38,257 Speaker 1: are some who are also wondering, when is there going 50 00:03:38,297 --> 00:03:40,337 Speaker 1: to be more of a focus on what's going on 51 00:03:40,537 --> 00:03:43,977 Speaker 1: here in America? Right we still have a lot of 52 00:03:44,097 --> 00:03:47,657 Speaker 1: major challenges, crises in fact, whether it's the border crime 53 00:03:47,697 --> 00:03:53,177 Speaker 1: in cities, getting inflation under control, getting the economy running 54 00:03:53,177 --> 00:03:55,537 Speaker 1: at the kind of pace that we would like to 55 00:03:55,577 --> 00:03:58,577 Speaker 1: see in this country, Dealing with over one hundred thousand 56 00:03:58,737 --> 00:04:02,977 Speaker 1: drug mostly opioid overdoses in this country every year, COVID. 57 00:04:03,097 --> 00:04:05,177 Speaker 1: What's going to actually happen going forward? Are we still 58 00:04:05,177 --> 00:04:07,897 Speaker 1: going to be dealing with this? Nancy Pelosi doesn't want 59 00:04:07,897 --> 00:04:09,577 Speaker 1: to hear it. She wants you to know that it's 60 00:04:09,617 --> 00:04:12,337 Speaker 1: annoying to ask any questions about COVID because you know, 61 00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:16,937 Speaker 1: people are dying in Ukraine. Watch. Yeah, I just want 62 00:04:16,937 --> 00:04:18,817 Speaker 1: to think into that a little bit more on the cover, Reli, 63 00:04:19,177 --> 00:04:21,297 Speaker 1: this would be a third time, my third pet time 64 00:04:21,297 --> 00:04:24,777 Speaker 1: I would ask a Coli. Yeah, well it's substitute, you 65 00:04:24,817 --> 00:04:28,897 Speaker 1: like substitut Yeah, while people are dying in the Ukraine 66 00:04:28,937 --> 00:04:34,937 Speaker 1: and all of that. You know, pretty snarky from Pelosi. 67 00:04:35,017 --> 00:04:37,457 Speaker 1: While people are dying in the Ukraine, So no questions 68 00:04:37,497 --> 00:04:40,697 Speaker 1: allowed about what's going on here in America. Pelosi just 69 00:04:40,737 --> 00:04:43,337 Speaker 1: swapped those aside. You know, she's way too into the 70 00:04:43,417 --> 00:04:45,337 Speaker 1: virtue signaling, but how much she cares, you know, General 71 00:04:45,377 --> 00:04:47,417 Speaker 1: Pelosi ready to go to the front lines. I'm sure, 72 00:04:48,217 --> 00:04:51,217 Speaker 1: I don't know that's never going to happen. Meanwhile, the 73 00:04:51,297 --> 00:04:55,017 Speaker 1: media is doing everything that they can to help I 74 00:04:55,057 --> 00:04:57,417 Speaker 1: think at some level of Biden administration keep the entire 75 00:04:57,457 --> 00:05:01,417 Speaker 1: focus of the public's attention on the situation in Ukraine, 76 00:05:01,417 --> 00:05:03,577 Speaker 1: a country that, while certainly a warren, it is terrible. 77 00:05:03,617 --> 00:05:06,257 Speaker 1: What's going on over there. It is thousands of miles away, 78 00:05:06,257 --> 00:05:07,817 Speaker 1: and we have a very large country here with a 79 00:05:07,817 --> 00:05:10,177 Speaker 1: lot of other things that are in fact going on on. 80 00:05:10,977 --> 00:05:13,337 Speaker 1: They certainly don't want to talk to you about this 81 00:05:14,137 --> 00:05:17,497 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop. Turns out that whole laptop story, you know, 82 00:05:17,537 --> 00:05:22,217 Speaker 1: the one that Big Tech suppressed right before the twenty 83 00:05:22,257 --> 00:05:27,297 Speaker 1: twenty election, actively shut down, pretended it was disinformation or 84 00:05:27,337 --> 00:05:30,417 Speaker 1: the result of hacked material. Whatever they had to do, 85 00:05:30,777 --> 00:05:34,457 Speaker 1: they threw all their weight behind the Democrat candidated. Is 86 00:05:34,497 --> 00:05:37,617 Speaker 1: appalling what Big Tech did, because we had been led 87 00:05:37,657 --> 00:05:40,617 Speaker 1: to believe for a long time that they were platforms, 88 00:05:40,617 --> 00:05:44,177 Speaker 1: that they were not actually publishers, they didn't have editorial positions, 89 00:05:44,217 --> 00:05:48,537 Speaker 1: that they would use their enormous influence in dissemination of 90 00:05:48,577 --> 00:05:52,057 Speaker 1: information to push one way or the other. Turns out 91 00:05:52,137 --> 00:05:55,097 Speaker 1: that was all a lie. And also the very idea 92 00:05:55,097 --> 00:05:58,177 Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden's laptop is anything other than entirely real, 93 00:05:58,297 --> 00:06:02,217 Speaker 1: corroborated and true, that was also a lie. New York 94 00:06:02,217 --> 00:06:06,057 Speaker 1: Times confirming today the laptop is authentic. People familiar with 95 00:06:06,137 --> 00:06:10,297 Speaker 1: the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between mister Biden 96 00:06:10,337 --> 00:06:13,937 Speaker 1: mister Archer and others about beres men other foreign business activity. 97 00:06:14,377 --> 00:06:16,617 Speaker 1: Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from 98 00:06:16,617 --> 00:06:19,217 Speaker 1: a cash of files that appear to have come from 99 00:06:19,217 --> 00:06:23,657 Speaker 1: a laptop abandoned by mister Biden in a Delaware repair shop. 100 00:06:23,977 --> 00:06:26,377 Speaker 1: The email and others in the cash were authenticated by 101 00:06:26,377 --> 00:06:30,897 Speaker 1: people familiar with them and with the investigation. So that 102 00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:34,857 Speaker 1: is real, That is true. The laptop always, I don't know, 103 00:06:34,937 --> 00:06:36,337 Speaker 1: for a lot of you watch it are saying, fuck, 104 00:06:36,457 --> 00:06:38,417 Speaker 1: we haven't known this for a long time. Yeah, but 105 00:06:38,497 --> 00:06:41,697 Speaker 1: now they're admitting it. They really haven't actually done any 106 00:06:41,697 --> 00:06:45,937 Speaker 1: additional reporting per se. They haven't done anything to authenticate 107 00:06:46,097 --> 00:06:49,737 Speaker 1: this other than just admit what was already known. But 108 00:06:49,777 --> 00:06:53,937 Speaker 1: one was highly politically inconvenient for them right before people 109 00:06:53,937 --> 00:06:57,097 Speaker 1: were casting votes for Joe Biden or Donald Trump in 110 00:06:57,137 --> 00:07:00,617 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. And the media has no regret 111 00:07:00,657 --> 00:07:02,817 Speaker 1: about this, As you know, their job, in their own 112 00:07:02,817 --> 00:07:06,177 Speaker 1: minds is to advance the cause, the narrative of the Democrats, 113 00:07:06,257 --> 00:07:09,737 Speaker 1: the left, the progressives. So for them, it's not an 114 00:07:09,737 --> 00:07:14,457 Speaker 1: issue that they were incredibly stunningly wrong on this because 115 00:07:14,937 --> 00:07:18,057 Speaker 1: it was to a purpose propaganda. That's what they were 116 00:07:18,097 --> 00:07:20,697 Speaker 1: doing here. You go remember this one. Back in the 117 00:07:20,777 --> 00:07:23,537 Speaker 1: day when this was actually underway, the suppression of the story. 118 00:07:23,817 --> 00:07:26,497 Speaker 1: The NPR put out a statement on why they're not 119 00:07:26,577 --> 00:07:29,937 Speaker 1: covering the Hunter laptop story. We don't want to waste 120 00:07:29,977 --> 00:07:32,697 Speaker 1: our time in stories that are not really stories, and 121 00:07:32,737 --> 00:07:34,497 Speaker 1: we don't want to waste the listeners and readers time 122 00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:36,657 Speaker 1: on stories that are just pure distractions. That was the 123 00:07:36,697 --> 00:07:39,897 Speaker 1: managing editor for News at NPR gets of course, taxpayer 124 00:07:39,977 --> 00:07:44,297 Speaker 1: dollars to be a crappy left wing news source among 125 00:07:44,377 --> 00:07:47,817 Speaker 1: so many others out there. And not only did they lie, 126 00:07:47,897 --> 00:07:51,617 Speaker 1: but the current president then candidate himself, Joe Biden, back 127 00:07:51,657 --> 00:07:54,497 Speaker 1: in October of twenty twenty, lied and said that this 128 00:07:54,577 --> 00:07:58,657 Speaker 1: is a Russian Russian disinformation campaign. Watch it. His own 129 00:07:59,097 --> 00:08:02,457 Speaker 1: national security advisor told him that what is happening with 130 00:08:02,577 --> 00:08:07,857 Speaker 1: his buddy, Well, I will his buddy, Rudy Giuliani. He's 131 00:08:07,897 --> 00:08:11,457 Speaker 1: being used as a Russian pawn. He's being fed information 132 00:08:11,817 --> 00:08:15,697 Speaker 1: that is Russian that is not true. And then what happens, 133 00:08:15,817 --> 00:08:19,097 Speaker 1: Nothing happens, and then you find out that everything is 134 00:08:19,137 --> 00:08:22,177 Speaker 1: going on here about Russia is wanting to make sure 135 00:08:22,457 --> 00:08:24,977 Speaker 1: that I do not get elected to the the next president 136 00:08:25,017 --> 00:08:28,417 Speaker 1: United States because they know I know them and they 137 00:08:28,777 --> 00:08:32,857 Speaker 1: know me. I don't understand why this president is unwilling 138 00:08:32,897 --> 00:08:36,137 Speaker 1: to take on Putin when he's actually paying bounties to 139 00:08:36,217 --> 00:08:40,217 Speaker 1: kill American soldiers in Afghanistan. That was a lie at 140 00:08:40,217 --> 00:08:42,497 Speaker 1: the end there too. He's lying about the laptop. He's 141 00:08:42,537 --> 00:08:46,417 Speaker 1: lying about the bounties. He's saying that Russia is scared 142 00:08:46,457 --> 00:08:52,977 Speaker 1: of him. Apparently not, Joe apparently not. And then even 143 00:08:53,417 --> 00:08:56,497 Speaker 1: this well last year in April of twenty twenty one, 144 00:08:57,417 --> 00:08:59,537 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was able to get away with playing this 145 00:08:59,577 --> 00:09:01,697 Speaker 1: game with the media that he didn't know if it 146 00:09:01,817 --> 00:09:04,297 Speaker 1: was his laptop, and the people in the media, the 147 00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:08,617 Speaker 1: LIB journals role, oh yeah, that seems credible. Watch and 148 00:09:08,697 --> 00:09:11,497 Speaker 1: when they ask you if was your laptop you say 149 00:09:11,657 --> 00:09:14,297 Speaker 1: you don't know, which is hard to believe unless you 150 00:09:14,377 --> 00:09:17,057 Speaker 1: read the book. Yeah, and then it's kind of like, 151 00:09:17,097 --> 00:09:22,577 Speaker 1: I'm surprised you have shoes on. Yeah, you know, you know, Yeah, 152 00:09:22,617 --> 00:09:26,017 Speaker 1: I made it today. Hants for the problem, fans for 153 00:09:26,017 --> 00:09:31,697 Speaker 1: the problem. Hands are always the problem. Yeah, now, you know, Look, 154 00:09:31,777 --> 00:09:34,177 Speaker 1: I really don't know. And the fact of the matter 155 00:09:34,337 --> 00:09:38,697 Speaker 1: is it's a red herring. He's lying, obviously, and Jimmy 156 00:09:38,777 --> 00:09:41,257 Speaker 1: Kimmel was there to launder the lies with laughs. That 157 00:09:41,377 --> 00:09:43,337 Speaker 1: was the point. Ha ha. You couldn't even know if it. 158 00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:46,417 Speaker 1: Of course it was just laptop only. A presidential election 159 00:09:46,497 --> 00:09:49,897 Speaker 1: hanging in the balance here, you know, no big deal, right, disgusting. 160 00:09:50,537 --> 00:09:53,337 Speaker 1: We have more on the delayed authentication. Yeah, as if 161 00:09:53,337 --> 00:09:56,137 Speaker 1: they authenticated it really of Hunter Biden's laptop with the 162 00:09:56,417 --> 00:09:59,417 Speaker 1: deputer editor of a deputy editor of Real Clear Investigations, 163 00:09:59,417 --> 00:10:01,817 Speaker 1: Ben Weinarten. We come back first. I want to talk 164 00:10:01,817 --> 00:10:03,777 Speaker 1: to about protecting your online data. A lot of companies 165 00:10:03,817 --> 00:10:06,097 Speaker 1: promise your privacy is guaranteed. We know that's not true. 166 00:10:06,377 --> 00:10:09,017 Speaker 1: That's why you need a new privacy and cybersecurity application 167 00:10:09,057 --> 00:10:13,057 Speaker 1: tool called Secure spelled SEK.

He be a part of our team, 189 00:11:12,697 --> 00:11:15,017 Speaker 1: dedicated to preserving the very essence of who we are 190 00:11:15,417 --> 00:11:20,937 Speaker 1: free Americans. Today's revelation by The New York Times that 191 00:11:21,057 --> 00:11:24,537 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop was in fact authentic come as a 192 00:11:24,617 --> 00:11:26,417 Speaker 1: surprise to someone the left, but if you were paying 193 00:11:26,417 --> 00:11:29,577 Speaker 1: attention back in twenty twenty, pretty obvious from the very beginning. 194 00:11:29,697 --> 00:11:33,497 Speaker 1: Laptop contained explicit photographs of Hunter emails that were authenticated 195 00:11:33,497 --> 00:11:35,977 Speaker 1: by recipients and a providence that led directly to a 196 00:11:35,977 --> 00:11:39,257 Speaker 1: computer repair shop in the same town which Hunter Biden 197 00:11:39,337 --> 00:11:41,337 Speaker 1: had a home in, or rather Joe Biden has a 198 00:11:41,337 --> 00:11:43,697 Speaker 1: home in. Despite the obvious fact that the laptop and 199 00:11:43,777 --> 00:11:46,177 Speaker 1: contents were real, the left clung to the idea that 200 00:11:46,217 --> 00:11:49,777 Speaker 1: it was Russian disinformation. I claimed that many of them 201 00:11:49,777 --> 00:11:52,177 Speaker 1: had to know was an outright lie. As late as 202 00:11:52,177 --> 00:11:55,057 Speaker 1: September of last year, the White House was still sticking 203 00:11:55,137 --> 00:11:58,577 Speaker 1: with that BS story. Watch the President has said, and 204 00:11:58,617 --> 00:12:02,337 Speaker 1: you have tweeted that allegations of wrongdoing based on files 205 00:12:02,457 --> 00:12:05,977 Speaker 1: pulled from Hunter Biden's laptop are Russian disinformation. There is 206 00:12:06,017 --> 00:12:08,737 Speaker 1: a new book by political reporter that finds some of 207 00:12:08,737 --> 00:12:10,817 Speaker 1: the files on there are genuine. Is the White House 208 00:12:10,857 --> 00:12:15,097 Speaker 1: still going with Russian disinformation? I think it's broadly known 209 00:12:15,137 --> 00:12:17,577 Speaker 1: and widely known, Peter, that there was a broad range 210 00:12:17,577 --> 00:12:24,377 Speaker 1: of Russian disinformation back in twenty twenty m this information. Huh. 211 00:12:24,617 --> 00:12:28,337 Speaker 1: Joining me now is the deputy editor of Real Clear Investigations, 212 00:12:28,417 --> 00:12:30,737 Speaker 1: Ben wine Garden, my friend, Ben. Good to see you, 213 00:12:31,977 --> 00:12:35,017 Speaker 1: but it's always a pleasure. Thanks for having me. I wonder. 214 00:12:35,097 --> 00:12:39,537 Speaker 1: I mean, there's on the one end, there's the outrage 215 00:12:39,537 --> 00:12:41,737 Speaker 1: that any normal person would feel who's paying attach to 216 00:12:41,737 --> 00:12:45,817 Speaker 1: the election, that the media just completely lied about this, 217 00:12:46,017 --> 00:12:49,097 Speaker 1: and then when it finally doesn't really affect them anymore, 218 00:12:49,617 --> 00:12:52,297 Speaker 1: you get this sort of kind of maybe our ride 219 00:12:52,337 --> 00:12:54,777 Speaker 1: it was all real, We lie to your thing. How 220 00:12:54,817 --> 00:12:57,617 Speaker 1: do we have any accountability for this whatsoever? I mean, 221 00:12:57,657 --> 00:12:59,457 Speaker 1: I guess for me, the problem is I already think 222 00:12:59,457 --> 00:13:01,857 Speaker 1: the mediaize all the time. So what are we supposed 223 00:13:01,857 --> 00:13:05,617 Speaker 1: to do about it? Well, it's also three layers of 224 00:13:05,697 --> 00:13:09,857 Speaker 1: people or entities that are culpable here. It's the media, 225 00:13:10,217 --> 00:13:14,497 Speaker 1: which ran with a letter written by signed by national 226 00:13:14,577 --> 00:13:19,417 Speaker 1: security law enforcement intel officials who hated Donald Trump's guts 227 00:13:19,497 --> 00:13:23,857 Speaker 1: and wanted him ruined from before his election in twenty sixteen. 228 00:13:23,977 --> 00:13:27,177 Speaker 1: So so you have a media that worked hand in 229 00:13:27,217 --> 00:13:30,377 Speaker 1: hand with a national security apparatus through virtually the entire 230 00:13:30,377 --> 00:13:33,137 Speaker 1: presidency and before to try and take him down. Then 231 00:13:33,177 --> 00:13:37,777 Speaker 1: you have big tech which also suppressed the story, and 232 00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:41,537 Speaker 1: we've seen poles to indicate that substantial percentages of voters 233 00:13:41,617 --> 00:13:45,217 Speaker 1: would have been swayed had they been aware of what transpired. 234 00:13:45,497 --> 00:13:48,297 Speaker 1: There's the real world impact of all of this, which 235 00:13:48,377 --> 00:13:51,417 Speaker 1: is that the Biden family's dealing is the real story 236 00:13:51,457 --> 00:13:55,457 Speaker 1: around Hunter Biden and other Biden family members who profited 237 00:13:55,537 --> 00:13:59,617 Speaker 1: from deals with all manner of foreign powers, including Russia, 238 00:14:00,017 --> 00:14:03,697 Speaker 1: Ukraine and communist China. Is to what extent does that 239 00:14:03,777 --> 00:14:07,297 Speaker 1: impact national security and foreign policy when Joe Biden was 240 00:14:07,377 --> 00:14:09,897 Speaker 1: vice president and now today when he's the commander in chief, 241 00:14:09,897 --> 00:14:12,417 Speaker 1: the president of the United States. So all of these 242 00:14:12,457 --> 00:14:16,737 Speaker 1: different layers of accountability have never been addressed. And when 243 00:14:16,737 --> 00:14:20,177 Speaker 1: it comes to our media, it is remarkable how brazen 244 00:14:20,217 --> 00:14:21,817 Speaker 1: they are. I mean, let's not forget The New York 245 00:14:21,777 --> 00:14:25,457 Speaker 1: Times buried this twenty four paragraphs into a piece. They 246 00:14:25,697 --> 00:14:28,697 Speaker 1: talk about burying the lead. The headline is not Yes, 247 00:14:28,737 --> 00:14:30,897 Speaker 1: we've now confirmed, after more than a year and a half, 248 00:14:30,937 --> 00:14:34,857 Speaker 1: what everyone else knew, including a political reporter and dozens 249 00:14:34,857 --> 00:14:37,377 Speaker 1: of other sources, that this was real. This was not 250 00:14:37,537 --> 00:14:40,297 Speaker 1: Russian disinformation. And by the way, of course, those national 251 00:14:40,297 --> 00:14:43,417 Speaker 1: security officials have never been held to account or recanted 252 00:14:43,537 --> 00:14:47,697 Speaker 1: or retracted. But remember almost every aspect of the Russia Gate, 253 00:14:47,817 --> 00:14:51,497 Speaker 1: Russian collusion conspiracy theory, which the media served as the 254 00:14:51,537 --> 00:14:56,417 Speaker 1: stenographers for this very same national security and intel apparatus. 255 00:14:56,497 --> 00:14:59,217 Speaker 1: All of the lies from the Steel dossier and all 256 00:14:59,257 --> 00:15:03,057 Speaker 1: the poisonous fruit onward. They have never retracted virtually any 257 00:15:03,097 --> 00:15:05,217 Speaker 1: of that. I mean, the Washington Post has come out 258 00:15:05,217 --> 00:15:07,817 Speaker 1: and retracted a couple of things, but they have not 259 00:15:07,937 --> 00:15:11,377 Speaker 1: handed their Pulitzer prizes back, which are based in garbage. 260 00:15:11,417 --> 00:15:15,777 Speaker 1: It was a fraudulent information operation. So let's stop talking 261 00:15:15,817 --> 00:15:19,617 Speaker 1: for a second about Russian disinformation operations. What about our 262 00:15:19,697 --> 00:15:25,297 Speaker 1: ruling classes disinformation operations to destroy American political dissenters from 263 00:15:25,337 --> 00:15:30,777 Speaker 1: their orthodoxy. And you you mentioned the different aspects of 264 00:15:30,817 --> 00:15:35,057 Speaker 1: possible corruption that came up here in the Hunter Biden 265 00:15:35,137 --> 00:15:40,857 Speaker 1: laptop story, and that also were quickly covered up, right, 266 00:15:40,857 --> 00:15:42,177 Speaker 1: I mean, we knew about this, and then all of 267 00:15:42,217 --> 00:15:44,017 Speaker 1: a sudden, the media says, oh, it's a non story. 268 00:15:44,137 --> 00:15:47,257 Speaker 1: NPR says, we wouldn't waste our time with such a thing. 269 00:15:47,857 --> 00:15:51,857 Speaker 1: It's it's pretty outrageous in retrospect, but I also feel 270 00:15:51,857 --> 00:15:55,857 Speaker 1: like it's it's unsurprising. And you would you mentioned all 271 00:15:55,857 --> 00:16:00,257 Speaker 1: the different people from the intelligence community, for example, came 272 00:16:00,257 --> 00:16:02,657 Speaker 1: out and said it was Russian disinformation. I think in 273 00:16:02,737 --> 00:16:06,817 Speaker 1: their men mind's been they are totally willing to be 274 00:16:07,577 --> 00:16:11,857 Speaker 1: intentionally absurdly wrong as long as it serves the political 275 00:16:11,857 --> 00:16:13,857 Speaker 1: purpose of the moment. I don't think they care about 276 00:16:13,857 --> 00:16:17,897 Speaker 1: credibility or ethics or integrity, which is why there's no 277 00:16:17,937 --> 00:16:22,697 Speaker 1: embarrassment now when this comes out. Yeah, tier point, it's 278 00:16:22,697 --> 00:16:26,737 Speaker 1: all about the ends justifying the means. And since you 279 00:16:26,817 --> 00:16:30,337 Speaker 1: started by asking about that question of accountability, I think 280 00:16:30,377 --> 00:16:33,257 Speaker 1: that's really everything in the scheme of things. If no 281 00:16:33,337 --> 00:16:37,417 Speaker 1: one ever pays a price for malfeasance, whether it's the 282 00:16:37,577 --> 00:16:42,977 Speaker 1: creation of the entire Russiagate information operation, whether as we reported, 283 00:16:42,977 --> 00:16:45,777 Speaker 1: for real clear investigations. Just a week ago, Paul Sperry 284 00:16:45,817 --> 00:16:49,897 Speaker 1: did this amazing report connecting all the dots showing DNC 285 00:16:50,337 --> 00:16:55,177 Speaker 1: Obama administration, Ukrainian efficiacial collusion in the run up to 286 00:16:55,217 --> 00:16:58,577 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election on behalf of the Quentin campaign 287 00:16:58,657 --> 00:17:01,777 Speaker 1: and against the Trump campaign. When it comes to every 288 00:17:01,777 --> 00:17:05,777 Speaker 1: single aspect of these efforts, impeachment number one and all 289 00:17:05,857 --> 00:17:09,257 Speaker 1: of the Masha nations around that created in part by 290 00:17:09,257 --> 00:17:12,497 Speaker 1: the way it seems, by Eric Cramella, who was essential 291 00:17:12,857 --> 00:17:18,217 Speaker 1: to Democrat Ukrainian Hillary Clinton campaign collusion against the Trump campaign. 292 00:17:18,817 --> 00:17:22,657 Speaker 1: If there is no accountability for any of these officials, 293 00:17:22,657 --> 00:17:25,017 Speaker 1: and we've become familiar with all of these people who 294 00:17:25,097 --> 00:17:29,177 Speaker 1: otherwise would have been never heard from in our bureaucracy, 295 00:17:29,377 --> 00:17:32,857 Speaker 1: the Peter Structs of the world, Andy McCabe on and 296 00:17:32,937 --> 00:17:36,217 Speaker 1: on down the list, Stefan Hopper, all of these shady, 297 00:17:36,297 --> 00:17:40,657 Speaker 1: shadowy figures who essentially worked to try and bring down 298 00:17:40,737 --> 00:17:43,177 Speaker 1: a candidate and then a president of the United States, 299 00:17:43,377 --> 00:17:45,777 Speaker 1: if none of them ever pay a price for their malfeasance, 300 00:17:45,977 --> 00:17:49,977 Speaker 1: whereas their political opponents always pay the maximum price. I'm 301 00:17:50,017 --> 00:17:54,017 Speaker 1: thinking now, for example, of the January sixth Unselect Committee 302 00:17:54,017 --> 00:17:57,417 Speaker 1: in its jihad against political dissenters. Well, we don't have 303 00:17:57,497 --> 00:18:00,657 Speaker 1: a republic anymore, and we have the full weaponization of 304 00:18:00,737 --> 00:18:03,857 Speaker 1: all the powers of the federal government, legitimate powers and 305 00:18:03,857 --> 00:18:07,537 Speaker 1: then illegitimate powers that it's usurped against political opponents. And 306 00:18:07,577 --> 00:18:09,137 Speaker 1: I've been writing about that for a year and a half. 307 00:18:09,217 --> 00:18:11,297 Speaker 1: The war on wrong think, the warren dissenters in this 308 00:18:11,377 --> 00:18:15,377 Speaker 1: country is the most damaging, disturbing revelation that we've seen 309 00:18:15,817 --> 00:18:18,417 Speaker 1: over the last five years. They'll send the d J 310 00:18:18,657 --> 00:18:21,417 Speaker 1: after you. In fact, back in December twenty twenty, Biden 311 00:18:22,017 --> 00:18:25,017 Speaker 1: lied of course, said the laptop is disinformation and then 312 00:18:25,217 --> 00:18:28,577 Speaker 1: essentially suggest that the DOJ may look into it. Watch 313 00:18:29,297 --> 00:18:36,737 Speaker 1: thank you. You still think the story from the Fall 314 00:18:37,057 --> 00:18:45,057 Speaker 1: of alt Son. Yes, yes, yes, shod love you man, 315 00:18:45,097 --> 00:18:48,777 Speaker 1: You're a one horse pony. I'll tell you, thank you, 316 00:18:49,137 --> 00:18:53,137 Speaker 1: thank you. I promise you my Justice Department will be 317 00:18:53,217 --> 00:18:55,777 Speaker 1: totally on its own making his judgments about how they 318 00:18:55,777 --> 00:19:02,777 Speaker 1: should pursue. Thank you, my DJ. What what was that? 319 00:19:05,177 --> 00:19:08,297 Speaker 1: The very same DJ that says that parents are terrorists 320 00:19:08,297 --> 00:19:13,617 Speaker 1: if they dared to question draconian coronavirus policies or racial 321 00:19:13,697 --> 00:19:17,257 Speaker 1: Marxism critical race theory in schools. We're supposed to have 322 00:19:17,337 --> 00:19:20,657 Speaker 1: confidence in that DOJ, The DOJ that apparently acts with 323 00:19:20,697 --> 00:19:23,297 Speaker 1: a double standard when it comes to those who engage 324 00:19:23,297 --> 00:19:25,897 Speaker 1: in political violence on the left versus those who engage 325 00:19:25,897 --> 00:19:29,497 Speaker 1: on political violence on the right. It's laughable. You know 326 00:19:29,817 --> 00:19:32,777 Speaker 1: that the virtually the entire deep state has basically cast 327 00:19:32,857 --> 00:19:37,217 Speaker 1: anyone who dares ask naughty questions about twenty twenty election 328 00:19:37,297 --> 00:19:42,377 Speaker 1: integrity or coronavirus policies, or in the DHS's latest terror bulletin, 329 00:19:42,817 --> 00:19:47,377 Speaker 1: you have them questioning anyone who dares to dare ask 330 00:19:47,417 --> 00:19:51,057 Speaker 1: a question about the wisdom of allowing unvetted Afghan refugees 331 00:19:51,057 --> 00:19:55,017 Speaker 1: by the thousands into the country, cast them as potential 332 00:19:55,137 --> 00:19:57,657 Speaker 1: terrorist threats. To the country and potentially the pre eminent 333 00:19:57,737 --> 00:20:00,657 Speaker 1: terrorist threat to the country. So we know that all 334 00:20:00,697 --> 00:20:04,777 Speaker 1: of these various bureaucracies have been weaponized against opponents to 335 00:20:05,537 --> 00:20:07,977 Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost it's scary to think this way 336 00:20:08,377 --> 00:20:10,657 Speaker 1: when Joe Biden speaks like that, you know, beyond the 337 00:20:10,657 --> 00:20:13,457 Speaker 1: fact that he just shrugs off the millions of dollars 338 00:20:13,457 --> 00:20:16,497 Speaker 1: that his family has taken in from corrupted and often 339 00:20:16,617 --> 00:20:19,617 Speaker 1: adversarial countries. But then I say, my dj is on 340 00:20:19,657 --> 00:20:21,297 Speaker 1: top of it. The only way that you hear that, 341 00:20:21,417 --> 00:20:23,977 Speaker 1: the way that I think you should take that, if 342 00:20:24,017 --> 00:20:26,097 Speaker 1: you're prudent right now, is this is like a mob 343 00:20:26,097 --> 00:20:27,777 Speaker 1: bus saying, oh yeah, they'll take care of it. They'll 344 00:20:27,777 --> 00:20:29,257 Speaker 1: be sure to cover it up and make sure it 345 00:20:29,257 --> 00:20:32,457 Speaker 1: never sees the light of day. Then we'll come back 346 00:20:32,697 --> 00:20:34,537 Speaker 1: with you here in the next segument just a moment. 347 00:20:34,537 --> 00:20:39,097 Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, Thanks for having me. Recently 348 00:20:39,177 --> 00:20:42,937 Speaker 1: released footage shows a man detained by police in twenty 349 00:20:43,017 --> 00:20:47,577 Speaker 1: twenty California highway patrol pleading that he can't breathe. The 350 00:20:47,657 --> 00:20:50,857 Speaker 1: man then died in police custody while he was saying 351 00:20:50,897 --> 00:20:53,977 Speaker 1: that it's a familiar sounding story, it is not George 352 00:20:53,977 --> 00:20:56,697 Speaker 1: Floyd's story. I'll dig into the details coming up next. 353 00:20:56,697 --> 00:21:06,017 Speaker 1: Stay with us. Shocking never before seeing video has been 354 00:21:06,017 --> 00:21:09,297 Speaker 1: released showing the final moments of a Los Angeles DUI 355 00:21:09,417 --> 00:21:12,617 Speaker 1: suspect who died after being pinned to the ground face 356 00:21:12,697 --> 00:21:15,777 Speaker 1: down by California Highway patrol as they tried to take 357 00:21:15,857 --> 00:21:19,377 Speaker 1: a blood sample. The victim, Edward Bronstein, can be heard 358 00:21:19,377 --> 00:21:24,897 Speaker 1: screaming I can't breathe repeatedly until he died in police custody. Warning, 359 00:21:25,097 --> 00:21:27,817 Speaker 1: the video is very disturbing and it is hard to watch. 360 00:21:28,937 --> 00:21:31,537 Speaker 1: If you're bringing the fight to this not using it 361 00:21:31,657 --> 00:21:33,897 Speaker 1: at all, I can't have a seat and provide your arm. 362 00:21:34,617 --> 00:21:38,577 Speaker 1: This is your last opportunity. Otherwise you're going face down 363 00:21:38,577 --> 00:21:54,457 Speaker 1: on the mat and we're gonna keep on going to 364 00:21:54,577 --> 00:22:06,017 Speaker 1: stop yelling. It's horrifying. Incident took place two months before 365 00:22:06,017 --> 00:22:08,897 Speaker 1: the murder of George Floyd, case that shocked the nation 366 00:22:08,977 --> 00:22:12,337 Speaker 1: and sent protesters flood the streets to riot and destroy 367 00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:16,617 Speaker 1: parts of major US cities. But will there be outrage 368 00:22:16,737 --> 00:22:20,417 Speaker 1: over the murder of Edward Bronstein? Will there be riots? 369 00:22:21,137 --> 00:22:25,937 Speaker 1: Will there be justified lawlessness? A national conversation, Let's bring 370 00:22:25,977 --> 00:22:28,817 Speaker 1: in deputy editor of Real Clear Investigations, Ben Weyingarten to 371 00:22:28,817 --> 00:22:31,057 Speaker 1: talk to us about this. Ben, thanks for staying with us, 372 00:22:31,937 --> 00:22:37,937 Speaker 1: Thanks for having me back. I think it's unfortunately very 373 00:22:38,057 --> 00:22:42,617 Speaker 1: likely here that we'll see that the first inclination of 374 00:22:42,657 --> 00:22:45,697 Speaker 1: the Democrat aligned left wing media in this country when 375 00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:49,057 Speaker 1: there's an incident of police violence isn't even necessarily to 376 00:22:49,217 --> 00:22:53,017 Speaker 1: gauge the use of force in and of itself, but 377 00:22:53,177 --> 00:22:56,617 Speaker 1: to figure out, well, is the victim an African American. 378 00:22:56,657 --> 00:22:59,977 Speaker 1: If the answer is no, the police violence seems markedly 379 00:23:00,177 --> 00:23:07,057 Speaker 1: less important to them. I think you're right, and it's 380 00:23:07,057 --> 00:23:09,577 Speaker 1: really sick and cynical, and we should say this is 381 00:23:09,657 --> 00:23:13,617 Speaker 1: harrowing video. So set aside the identity politics, set aside 382 00:23:14,217 --> 00:23:17,617 Speaker 1: the merits or demerits of the cops training, and what 383 00:23:17,657 --> 00:23:21,017 Speaker 1: the policies and practices are in California. It's horrible video 384 00:23:21,137 --> 00:23:26,097 Speaker 1: to watch. Unfortunately, I think the first inclination of our 385 00:23:26,257 --> 00:23:29,697 Speaker 1: benighted corporate media is to always go towards is this 386 00:23:29,737 --> 00:23:33,417 Speaker 1: story useful to our agenda or not? And when it 387 00:23:33,457 --> 00:23:39,457 Speaker 1: comes to acts of police violence on suspects, that usually 388 00:23:39,497 --> 00:23:41,497 Speaker 1: goes right to identity politics. And you see this with 389 00:23:41,537 --> 00:23:44,337 Speaker 1: all matter of stories when the media is very open 390 00:23:44,417 --> 00:23:48,057 Speaker 1: and transparent about who a victim or an aggressor is, 391 00:23:48,217 --> 00:23:50,537 Speaker 1: versus when they hide it, and you see it starts 392 00:23:50,537 --> 00:23:52,337 Speaker 1: to trickle out in social media and then you wait 393 00:23:52,377 --> 00:23:55,177 Speaker 1: at twelve hours and then you suddenly find out the 394 00:23:55,257 --> 00:23:58,817 Speaker 1: identities of those involved. And that's said because what the 395 00:23:58,857 --> 00:24:01,177 Speaker 1: media ought to do, if we had a media that 396 00:24:01,217 --> 00:24:06,057 Speaker 1: actually cared about imparting knowledge and information about events that 397 00:24:06,097 --> 00:24:08,217 Speaker 1: you can make decisions for yourself, is that they ought 398 00:24:08,257 --> 00:24:12,177 Speaker 1: to report without fear or favor. But so often instead 399 00:24:12,817 --> 00:24:17,177 Speaker 1: people use their privilege, purchase positions in the media to 400 00:24:17,657 --> 00:24:20,657 Speaker 1: advance agendas useful to them, or like we just talked 401 00:24:20,657 --> 00:24:24,657 Speaker 1: about in that last segment, to suppress stories that cut 402 00:24:24,697 --> 00:24:28,217 Speaker 1: against narratives that would hurt them. And that's what I 403 00:24:28,257 --> 00:24:31,417 Speaker 1: think we'll probably see here. I suspect. I hope we're 404 00:24:31,457 --> 00:24:35,377 Speaker 1: not going to see damage and devastation wrought across the country. 405 00:24:35,737 --> 00:24:37,737 Speaker 1: And it's really remarkable to step back and look at 406 00:24:37,777 --> 00:24:40,857 Speaker 1: it almost two years later, the anti cultural revolution that 407 00:24:40,977 --> 00:24:44,057 Speaker 1: did sweep the country when the media felt the identity 408 00:24:44,057 --> 00:24:46,937 Speaker 1: politics were ripe to take advantage of and exploit a 409 00:24:46,937 --> 00:24:49,857 Speaker 1: horrible situation. And you mentioned this to the George Floyd 410 00:24:49,937 --> 00:24:56,217 Speaker 1: protests triggered riots in America not seen in decades. I 411 00:24:56,257 --> 00:25:00,097 Speaker 1: would say the only riots that were similar in scale 412 00:25:00,217 --> 00:25:02,777 Speaker 1: would have been after the assassination of Martin Luther King 413 00:25:02,857 --> 00:25:05,377 Speaker 1: Junior back in nineteen sixty eight. So going back quite 414 00:25:05,377 --> 00:25:11,217 Speaker 1: a ways, and obviously to a very a tragic incident 415 00:25:11,337 --> 00:25:15,457 Speaker 1: with the assassination of MLK Junior, and I do though, 416 00:25:15,617 --> 00:25:19,217 Speaker 1: as I look at this the situation of the individual 417 00:25:19,257 --> 00:25:23,857 Speaker 1: who died in custody of the California Highway Patrol, I 418 00:25:23,977 --> 00:25:28,057 Speaker 1: have to say there was this immediate rush right when 419 00:25:28,097 --> 00:25:32,297 Speaker 1: the George Floyd incident happened, not only from the media, 420 00:25:32,377 --> 00:25:36,737 Speaker 1: but corporations all across the country to suggest that this 421 00:25:36,777 --> 00:25:41,377 Speaker 1: was representative of law enforcement in terms of racism, But 422 00:25:41,537 --> 00:25:45,937 Speaker 1: wasn't really about the policy or the procedure that was 423 00:25:46,057 --> 00:25:49,217 Speaker 1: used per se. It was really the cops are racist, 424 00:25:49,257 --> 00:25:51,577 Speaker 1: so we all have to go now and march in 425 00:25:51,617 --> 00:25:54,817 Speaker 1: the streets about racist cops. This video, as horrific as 426 00:25:54,817 --> 00:25:58,977 Speaker 1: it is, shows that there are other instances of individuals 427 00:25:59,017 --> 00:26:03,177 Speaker 1: who suffer from the tactics used here, of police doing 428 00:26:03,217 --> 00:26:06,537 Speaker 1: a immobilization hold of some kind, putting knee on the neck, 429 00:26:06,577 --> 00:26:09,697 Speaker 1: knee on the back, shoulder, blades, etc. And that this 430 00:26:09,737 --> 00:26:12,337 Speaker 1: is something that was happening elsewhere in the country. It 431 00:26:12,377 --> 00:26:14,377 Speaker 1: just feels like, Ben, if we had talked about police 432 00:26:14,417 --> 00:26:17,937 Speaker 1: brutality and the specifics of the incident with George Floyd 433 00:26:17,977 --> 00:26:21,337 Speaker 1: with regard to police tactics instead of just acting like 434 00:26:21,377 --> 00:26:25,337 Speaker 1: that was representative of racism all throughout law enforcement, maybe 435 00:26:25,457 --> 00:26:28,417 Speaker 1: we would have gotten sooner to policies that would prevent 436 00:26:28,417 --> 00:26:30,697 Speaker 1: the sort of thing from happening, instead of having the 437 00:26:30,697 --> 00:26:36,537 Speaker 1: country go through riots for months. Yeah, absolutely, and inflicting 438 00:26:36,577 --> 00:26:40,897 Speaker 1: in the process tons of damage, between one and two 439 00:26:40,937 --> 00:26:44,577 Speaker 1: billion dollars of damage it's estimated on cities across the country, 440 00:26:44,977 --> 00:26:48,857 Speaker 1: leading to the pulling back of police forces and defunding 441 00:26:48,857 --> 00:26:53,057 Speaker 1: of police forces, which has generated at the very amentium coincided, 442 00:26:53,137 --> 00:26:57,497 Speaker 1: and I think it's pretty clear caused a massive uptick 443 00:26:57,577 --> 00:27:03,817 Speaker 1: in violent crime, threatening terrorizing law abiding citizens in cities 444 00:27:03,817 --> 00:27:06,897 Speaker 1: and suburbs across the country. So it's your point. Of course, 445 00:27:06,937 --> 00:27:09,497 Speaker 1: they didn't want to grapple with the merits of what happened, 446 00:27:09,537 --> 00:27:13,017 Speaker 1: even though would have been better for the country. Instead, 447 00:27:13,057 --> 00:27:16,217 Speaker 1: the first inclination was to jump to race and by 448 00:27:16,217 --> 00:27:19,657 Speaker 1: the way, when it comes to the Floyd incident, there's 449 00:27:19,737 --> 00:27:23,097 Speaker 1: no evidence that this was a racially driven incidents of 450 00:27:23,097 --> 00:27:25,297 Speaker 1: the police forces. And the other aspect if we're going 451 00:27:25,337 --> 00:27:27,777 Speaker 1: to talk about the politics of these things, which I 452 00:27:27,817 --> 00:27:30,137 Speaker 1: find really beyond distasteful in the first place, but the 453 00:27:30,177 --> 00:27:33,137 Speaker 1: media forces it there is what about the fact that 454 00:27:33,177 --> 00:27:37,737 Speaker 1: these are often police forces in blue cities or blue states, 455 00:27:37,777 --> 00:27:41,817 Speaker 1: other blue jurisdictions. So if police are systemically racist and 456 00:27:41,897 --> 00:27:44,617 Speaker 1: it's happening in blue locus across the country, then is 457 00:27:44,617 --> 00:27:47,337 Speaker 1: that the Democratic Party is systemically racist? I mean, of 458 00:27:47,337 --> 00:27:50,777 Speaker 1: course they don't want to grapple with the implications of 459 00:27:50,817 --> 00:27:53,017 Speaker 1: the rhetoric that they spew, but they ought to be 460 00:27:53,057 --> 00:27:57,377 Speaker 1: asked about that. I think that's true. And you see 461 00:27:57,817 --> 00:28:01,497 Speaker 1: that while they talk about police reform in the context 462 00:28:01,537 --> 00:28:05,337 Speaker 1: of criminal justice reform, that's a phrase that sounds good 463 00:28:05,337 --> 00:28:07,857 Speaker 1: to people. Then a criminal justice reform as it has 464 00:28:07,897 --> 00:28:10,977 Speaker 1: been practiced by progressive prosecutors and city across the country 465 00:28:11,657 --> 00:28:15,857 Speaker 1: and law enforcement agencies now in those blue jurisdictions, has 466 00:28:15,897 --> 00:28:20,537 Speaker 1: resulted in a whole lot more crime, more murders, more assaults, 467 00:28:20,577 --> 00:28:24,017 Speaker 1: more rapes. And you have to wonder at what point 468 00:28:24,017 --> 00:28:27,417 Speaker 1: does the left recognize that many of their narratives around 469 00:28:27,417 --> 00:28:32,777 Speaker 1: these issues are just more destructive. Yeah, fomenting injustice in 470 00:28:32,817 --> 00:28:37,697 Speaker 1: the name of social justice, And ironically it's the most 471 00:28:37,817 --> 00:28:41,857 Speaker 1: woke cohort among leftists when you look at polling that's 472 00:28:41,857 --> 00:28:45,417 Speaker 1: been done on this is white liberal elites. That's who 473 00:28:45,417 --> 00:28:48,737 Speaker 1: pushes this, White liberal elites who don't have to deal 474 00:28:48,777 --> 00:28:51,937 Speaker 1: with the consequences of these policies. Ultimately, it's the people 475 00:28:52,257 --> 00:28:54,577 Speaker 1: living in the most dangerous areas who has to have 476 00:28:54,657 --> 00:28:58,737 Speaker 1: to deal with the consequences of these soros das across 477 00:28:58,777 --> 00:29:02,137 Speaker 1: the country. So it's disastrous all around American people. The 478 00:29:02,137 --> 00:29:05,977 Speaker 1: American people can make Democrats pay at the ballot box, 479 00:29:06,017 --> 00:29:09,937 Speaker 1: but we're talking about decades, decades of punishment being Ina 480 00:29:10,217 --> 00:29:13,537 Speaker 1: did on bluelocals across the country because of these very 481 00:29:13,697 --> 00:29:18,177 Speaker 1: dangerous ideologies that didn't manifest themselves in even more dangerous policies. 482 00:29:18,617 --> 00:29:20,337 Speaker 1: Then thanks again for your time. That are good to 483 00:29:20,337 --> 00:29:25,737 Speaker 1: see you, but it's my pleasure you too. As the 484 00:29:25,777 --> 00:29:29,337 Speaker 1: negotiations to re enter the Iran nuclear agreement continue, President 485 00:29:29,417 --> 00:29:31,737 Speaker 1: Biden might be getting ready to hand the Islamic Republic 486 00:29:31,777 --> 00:29:34,057 Speaker 1: a big victory that I'll have implications for the war 487 00:29:34,137 --> 00:29:37,377 Speaker 1: on terror. More on that with the Heritage Foundations, Peter Brooks. 488 00:29:37,377 --> 00:29:39,337 Speaker 1: When we return, first, I want to talk to you 489 00:29:39,337 --> 00:29:42,857 Speaker 1: about protecting your online data. Hackers capitalize on uncertainty and 490 00:29:42,937 --> 00:29:45,457 Speaker 1: Russia's invasions, the type of chaos that can put American 491 00:29:45,537 --> 00:29:48,537 Speaker 1: homeowners at risk of being hacked. You can expect scams 492 00:29:48,577 --> 00:29:52,417 Speaker 1: like robocalls, texts for fake donations, and emails with unfamiliar attachments. 493 00:29:52,457 --> 00:29:55,097 Speaker 1: We know those scams. There's a bigger scam it's harder 494 00:29:55,097 --> 00:29:57,377 Speaker 1: to detect and harder to stop. Could cost you your home. 495 00:29:57,857 --> 00:30:00,257 Speaker 1: Called home tittle fraud. It happens when a hacker finds 496 00:30:00,257 --> 00:30:03,377 Speaker 1: your home tittle online, forges your signature, takes out loans, 497 00:30:03,497 --> 00:30:06,337 Speaker 1: leaves you with the bills. This is very difficult to 498 00:30:06,377 --> 00:30:08,697 Speaker 1: detect in advance unless you have the right people on 499 00:30:08,697 --> 00:30:11,537 Speaker 1: your side. That's home idle lock. All you have to 500 00:30:11,537 --> 00:30:14,177 Speaker 1: do is go to home titlelock dot com and enter 501 00:30:14,217 --> 00:30:16,537 Speaker 1: your addresses. Se if you're already a victim, it's smart 502 00:30:16,577 --> 00:30:19,537 Speaker 1: to do this good practice. Go to hometitlelock dot com again. 503 00:30:19,577 --> 00:30:22,457 Speaker 1: That's home titlelock dot com. We'll be right back with 504 00:30:22,697 --> 00:30:31,337 Speaker 1: Peter Brooks. Stay with us. The White House might be 505 00:30:31,377 --> 00:30:33,577 Speaker 1: on the verge of making a big concession to Iran, 506 00:30:33,657 --> 00:30:37,137 Speaker 1: as the Biden administration is considering the removal of its 507 00:30:37,177 --> 00:30:41,577 Speaker 1: Islamic Revolutionary Guardcore from the terror blacklist, reversing a key 508 00:30:41,617 --> 00:30:45,137 Speaker 1: policy from the Trump era. Is the White House failing 509 00:30:45,177 --> 00:30:49,017 Speaker 1: to delist the IRGC from the Foreign Terrorist Organization list 510 00:30:49,057 --> 00:30:51,817 Speaker 1: in order to get a deal with Iraq. We're still 511 00:30:51,857 --> 00:30:54,257 Speaker 1: in the negotiations, so I'm not going to speculate or 512 00:30:54,297 --> 00:30:57,097 Speaker 1: outline from here what the final details look like. And 513 00:30:57,217 --> 00:31:01,537 Speaker 1: these are likely the group responsible for firing missiles US 514 00:31:01,617 --> 00:31:04,577 Speaker 1: facilities in Iraq. So as long as Americans aren't killed, 515 00:31:04,577 --> 00:31:07,537 Speaker 1: are there no consequences for something like that? All in 516 00:31:07,777 --> 00:31:12,977 Speaker 1: an effort to get a nuclear deal? Interesting questions? How 517 00:31:13,017 --> 00:31:15,777 Speaker 1: far will they go to restore that Iran nuclear deal 518 00:31:16,057 --> 00:31:18,817 Speaker 1: and what will the cost possibly be to our national security? 519 00:31:19,297 --> 00:31:22,057 Speaker 1: Let's ask a senior fellow of Weapons and mass destruction 520 00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:25,617 Speaker 1: and counter proliferation at the Heritage Foundation, Peter Brooks. Peter, 521 00:31:25,657 --> 00:31:28,817 Speaker 1: thanks for being with us, Good do with you? Just 522 00:31:28,897 --> 00:31:32,217 Speaker 1: let everybody know because it's not getting really very much 523 00:31:32,297 --> 00:31:35,057 Speaker 1: attention in the media at all. Right now, what's going 524 00:31:35,097 --> 00:31:39,457 Speaker 1: on with this Iran nuclear deal? Well, the Bide administration 525 00:31:39,617 --> 00:31:41,337 Speaker 1: for about a year now has been trying to get 526 00:31:41,377 --> 00:31:44,097 Speaker 1: back into it or renegotiate something else. They talked about 527 00:31:44,137 --> 00:31:47,737 Speaker 1: it being longer and stronger, and now after round and 528 00:31:47,897 --> 00:31:50,857 Speaker 1: rounds of negotiation, it looks like they're going to do 529 00:31:50,937 --> 00:31:55,537 Speaker 1: something that's shorter and riskier. They seem to be moving 530 00:31:55,577 --> 00:31:58,577 Speaker 1: back into the original deal, which the Trump administration got 531 00:31:58,617 --> 00:32:02,097 Speaker 1: out of for good reason. Now we're all trying to 532 00:32:02,137 --> 00:32:06,737 Speaker 1: find out what we can in the news and from 533 00:32:06,777 --> 00:32:09,657 Speaker 1: other sources to find out what's really going on in 534 00:32:09,817 --> 00:32:14,457 Speaker 1: these negotiations. But as you saw with that White House pressor, 535 00:32:14,497 --> 00:32:18,657 Speaker 1: they're they're not telling us a lot. So what is 536 00:32:18,697 --> 00:32:21,897 Speaker 1: this IRGC move if this were to happen, How big 537 00:32:21,897 --> 00:32:25,177 Speaker 1: a deal is this? And also are there other concessions 538 00:32:25,217 --> 00:32:28,297 Speaker 1: that are reportedly underway on the US side that everybody 539 00:32:28,297 --> 00:32:31,097 Speaker 1: should be aware of. Well, I'm worried we're going to 540 00:32:31,137 --> 00:32:33,977 Speaker 1: go back to the original deal, which is in twenty fifteen, 541 00:32:34,057 --> 00:32:37,617 Speaker 1: which was seriously flawed. I mean it, first of all, 542 00:32:37,657 --> 00:32:40,457 Speaker 1: it had sunset provisions, and that's a kind of a 543 00:32:40,537 --> 00:32:44,177 Speaker 1: diplomatic term, meaning that certain provisions of this will expire, 544 00:32:44,977 --> 00:32:46,457 Speaker 1: and some of them are going to expire in the 545 00:32:46,497 --> 00:32:49,137 Speaker 1: next couple of years, because we're already several years into 546 00:32:49,137 --> 00:32:52,897 Speaker 1: this agreement, especially on issues of uranium enrichment, which allows 547 00:32:52,897 --> 00:32:56,377 Speaker 1: Iran to move towards a nuclear weapon. The original deal 548 00:32:56,417 --> 00:32:59,377 Speaker 1: also didn't capture ballistic missiles, and of course this is 549 00:32:59,377 --> 00:33:01,977 Speaker 1: an ideal way to deliver a nuclear weapon. I mean, 550 00:33:02,017 --> 00:33:05,217 Speaker 1: Iran has the world the Middle East largest arsenal of 551 00:33:05,217 --> 00:33:08,217 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles, and you just heard the reporter refer to 552 00:33:08,257 --> 00:33:12,577 Speaker 1: the attack last week in to Iraq with ballistic missiles 553 00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:15,417 Speaker 1: from from Iran. You know, they share them with their 554 00:33:15,457 --> 00:33:19,297 Speaker 1: friends such as the Houthies and hes Bollah and Hamas. 555 00:33:19,937 --> 00:33:22,657 Speaker 1: There's other issues as well as the inspection regime of 556 00:33:22,657 --> 00:33:25,977 Speaker 1: the original agreement is troubling. It doesn't allow for any 557 00:33:26,017 --> 00:33:29,257 Speaker 1: time anywhere inspections, which in my view is required if 558 00:33:29,297 --> 00:33:31,737 Speaker 1: you're going to have any sort of confidence in an agreement. 559 00:33:32,017 --> 00:33:35,457 Speaker 1: And Iran has put all of its military facilities and 560 00:33:35,537 --> 00:33:41,737 Speaker 1: bases off limits to the International Atomic Energy Agencies inspectors looks. 561 00:33:42,097 --> 00:33:45,497 Speaker 1: So this is having the IRGC is really the one 562 00:33:45,697 --> 00:33:48,097 Speaker 1: and the military the ones who are moving forward this 563 00:33:48,417 --> 00:33:52,137 Speaker 1: nuclear program, and you know it wishes which my view 564 00:33:52,257 --> 00:33:54,417 Speaker 1: is is going to lead to a weapons program, and 565 00:33:54,417 --> 00:33:57,977 Speaker 1: it has been a weapons program in the past, so 566 00:33:58,017 --> 00:34:00,697 Speaker 1: there's all sorts of things. The other thing, um Buck, 567 00:34:00,777 --> 00:34:03,337 Speaker 1: is that the Iranians never came clear on what they 568 00:34:03,377 --> 00:34:07,657 Speaker 1: were doing. Previously called the Possible Military Dimensions. They denied 569 00:34:07,697 --> 00:34:11,697 Speaker 1: they ever had a nuclear weapons program. The Israelis spirited 570 00:34:11,737 --> 00:34:15,097 Speaker 1: some information out of Tehran which they shared with the world, 571 00:34:15,177 --> 00:34:17,617 Speaker 1: showed that they did have a weapons program and it 572 00:34:17,697 --> 00:34:21,137 Speaker 1: had designs to build up to like five nuclear weapons. 573 00:34:21,337 --> 00:34:23,737 Speaker 1: But the Uranians, as part of the agreement, we're supposed 574 00:34:23,777 --> 00:34:26,937 Speaker 1: to show everything they had and everything they had done 575 00:34:27,137 --> 00:34:31,017 Speaker 1: to the IAEA so the IAEA could sufficiently and effectively 576 00:34:31,137 --> 00:34:35,457 Speaker 1: monitor this agreement. So there's real problems even with the 577 00:34:35,457 --> 00:34:38,217 Speaker 1: original agreement, and now we hear that there may be 578 00:34:38,337 --> 00:34:43,057 Speaker 1: things such as delisting the IRGC, perhaps transfers of transfers 579 00:34:43,057 --> 00:34:46,457 Speaker 1: of money to Iran, which anytime you put money in 580 00:34:46,497 --> 00:34:50,817 Speaker 1: Iran's pockets, it's going to go for things like military modernization, 581 00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:55,577 Speaker 1: supporting has Blah, supporting the regime in Syria, you know, 582 00:34:55,617 --> 00:34:59,217 Speaker 1: supporting the Huti repel rebels and Yemen. So this is 583 00:34:59,337 --> 00:35:01,297 Speaker 1: very troubling. But once again, we don't have a lot 584 00:35:01,337 --> 00:35:04,217 Speaker 1: of information. The administration is not keeping us up to 585 00:35:04,297 --> 00:35:08,377 Speaker 1: speed on what's going on on these negotiations in Europe. 586 00:35:08,617 --> 00:35:12,097 Speaker 1: Pater there has been some reporting that there will be 587 00:35:12,177 --> 00:35:17,057 Speaker 1: concessions made to Russian interests and particularly in the fossil 588 00:35:17,137 --> 00:35:21,097 Speaker 1: fuel sector with regard to the Iran nuclear deal. Can 589 00:35:21,097 --> 00:35:22,417 Speaker 1: you walk us through that, because I think a lot 590 00:35:22,417 --> 00:35:24,457 Speaker 1: of people give them what's going on with Ukraine right now, 591 00:35:24,497 --> 00:35:26,897 Speaker 1: we're saying, wait a second, we're doing carve outs for 592 00:35:26,977 --> 00:35:31,097 Speaker 1: Russia in an Iran nuclear deal. Yeah, that's fuzzy too. 593 00:35:31,537 --> 00:35:34,337 Speaker 1: You know, the Administration's not telling us a lot directly 594 00:35:34,417 --> 00:35:37,577 Speaker 1: on this, not on the record, but what we're hearing is, remember, 595 00:35:37,617 --> 00:35:39,617 Speaker 1: the Russians were the first ones to were the ones 596 00:35:39,657 --> 00:35:43,257 Speaker 1: who allowed Ron to build its first nuclear reactor at 597 00:35:43,257 --> 00:35:45,297 Speaker 1: Boucher if you remember. That goes back gosh to the 598 00:35:45,377 --> 00:35:50,177 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, and they're involved in servicing this reactor, and 599 00:35:50,537 --> 00:35:53,657 Speaker 1: their nuclear agency wants the ability to do business there. 600 00:35:53,657 --> 00:35:56,977 Speaker 1: I mean, this is one of Russia's besides you know, 601 00:35:57,017 --> 00:35:59,697 Speaker 1: the export of energy, This is one of the other 602 00:35:59,897 --> 00:36:03,337 Speaker 1: fields that they're very heavily involved in. Is nuclear is 603 00:36:03,417 --> 00:36:06,777 Speaker 1: nuclear power, and there is rumor out there that that's 604 00:36:06,817 --> 00:36:09,497 Speaker 1: exactly what the administration has done, has given them a 605 00:36:09,537 --> 00:36:12,937 Speaker 1: carve out. Now, originally they wanted an entire carve out 606 00:36:12,977 --> 00:36:15,177 Speaker 1: to say that they could do on other issues of 607 00:36:15,257 --> 00:36:18,417 Speaker 1: doing business with Iran. But what we're hearing now is 608 00:36:18,417 --> 00:36:21,177 Speaker 1: that they're just talking about the nuclear sector. And I 609 00:36:21,177 --> 00:36:24,377 Speaker 1: think this is obviously a bad ideas well, considering what 610 00:36:24,377 --> 00:36:28,697 Speaker 1: we're seeing going on in Ukraine. Peter switching gears here 611 00:36:28,697 --> 00:36:32,017 Speaker 1: for a moment to the situation in Ukraine. You're a 612 00:36:32,097 --> 00:36:36,017 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, a nuclear proliferation expert. In the background of 613 00:36:36,017 --> 00:36:37,937 Speaker 1: all the conversations about should the US do a no 614 00:36:38,017 --> 00:36:40,817 Speaker 1: fly zone, how involved should we get, what should the 615 00:36:40,897 --> 00:36:45,337 Speaker 1: NATO allies do? There are people who keep reminding everybody 616 00:36:45,457 --> 00:36:49,857 Speaker 1: that there are thousands of nuclear weapons in Russian in 617 00:36:49,937 --> 00:36:54,897 Speaker 1: Russian hands, and things come up like tactical nuclear strike 618 00:36:55,017 --> 00:36:59,017 Speaker 1: as a possibility. How much of a worry is that 619 00:36:59,057 --> 00:37:00,977 Speaker 1: for you? I mean, essentially, Peter, for what we know, 620 00:37:01,737 --> 00:37:05,417 Speaker 1: what would make Putin launch a new under what circumstances? 621 00:37:05,457 --> 00:37:07,577 Speaker 1: I mean, I know we don't have clear answers, but 622 00:37:07,617 --> 00:37:11,577 Speaker 1: we must have some idea. But we're obvious closely watching this. 623 00:37:11,737 --> 00:37:15,737 Speaker 1: I mean, we're, you know, involved within a situation that 624 00:37:15,857 --> 00:37:20,057 Speaker 1: involves a nuclear weapon state and Putin has brandished his 625 00:37:20,217 --> 00:37:24,057 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. He talked about increasing their alert status to 626 00:37:24,137 --> 00:37:27,737 Speaker 1: a special combat duty regime, which everybody's trying to figure 627 00:37:27,777 --> 00:37:31,977 Speaker 1: out exactly what that means. But they're also you mentioned 628 00:37:31,977 --> 00:37:34,617 Speaker 1: a couple of things Buck. One is the tactical nuclear weapons. 629 00:37:34,697 --> 00:37:38,937 Speaker 1: Russia has about two thousand tactical nuclear weapons, which is 630 00:37:38,977 --> 00:37:41,817 Speaker 1: basically a ten to one advantage over US. We have 631 00:37:41,857 --> 00:37:45,097 Speaker 1: about one hundred station in Europe with NATO, and we 632 00:37:45,137 --> 00:37:47,297 Speaker 1: have one hundred back here in the United States. And 633 00:37:47,377 --> 00:37:50,137 Speaker 1: the concern is that the Russians might use these tactical 634 00:37:50,217 --> 00:37:53,817 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, which are lower yield nuclear weapons than the 635 00:37:53,857 --> 00:37:57,297 Speaker 1: big ICBMs we think about the city busters. They might 636 00:37:57,377 --> 00:38:02,017 Speaker 1: use them in what's called a escalate to de escalate strategy. 637 00:38:02,177 --> 00:38:05,377 Speaker 1: In other words, if things weren't going very well for Russia, 638 00:38:05,577 --> 00:38:10,737 Speaker 1: Russia could explode a tactical nuclear weapon over you know, 639 00:38:10,937 --> 00:38:14,497 Speaker 1: Ukrainian territory, over even over the ocean to send a 640 00:38:14,537 --> 00:38:17,777 Speaker 1: signal to those who might be intervening or playing a 641 00:38:17,897 --> 00:38:21,937 Speaker 1: role in the Ukrainian nuclear I'm sorry, the Ukrainian crisis. 642 00:38:22,337 --> 00:38:25,857 Speaker 1: That Russia means business, and they may go further so 643 00:38:26,177 --> 00:38:30,817 Speaker 1: including too, you know, bigger nuclear weapons, including intercontinental ballistic missiles. 644 00:38:31,017 --> 00:38:34,297 Speaker 1: So there's a concern that Russia might actually use these, 645 00:38:34,937 --> 00:38:38,257 Speaker 1: and this would be break the seventy five year taboo 646 00:38:38,377 --> 00:38:41,937 Speaker 1: or international norms against using these using these sort of weapons. 647 00:38:41,937 --> 00:38:44,857 Speaker 1: So there's a tremendous concern. Russia has fifteen hundred and 648 00:38:44,897 --> 00:38:50,337 Speaker 1: fifty deployed nuclear weapons at the ICBMs level that could 649 00:38:50,337 --> 00:38:53,217 Speaker 1: be used against the United States that are restricted along 650 00:38:53,257 --> 00:38:56,737 Speaker 1: with ours under the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. But yeah, 651 00:38:56,777 --> 00:38:59,537 Speaker 1: when you're dealing with the nuclear state, this is something 652 00:38:59,617 --> 00:39:05,097 Speaker 1: to worry about, consider, especially considering our concerns about, you know, 653 00:39:05,137 --> 00:39:10,257 Speaker 1: the state of Vladimir Putin's uh, you know, views on 654 00:39:10,377 --> 00:39:14,417 Speaker 1: the evolving situation in Ukraine and in Europe. Here, thanks 655 00:39:14,457 --> 00:39:17,017 Speaker 1: for the expertise, Good to see you, Thanks for having me. 656 00:39:19,417 --> 00:39:23,577 Speaker 1: Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo is naming names, accusing several 657 00:39:23,577 --> 00:39:27,297 Speaker 1: of his former colleagues of engaging in blatant misconduct. Oh, 658 00:39:27,337 --> 00:39:29,857 Speaker 1: CNN fighting with CNN. This will be interesting, got that 659 00:39:29,897 --> 00:39:38,577 Speaker 1: coming up. In quickets, Chris Cuomo takes aim at his 660 00:39:38,617 --> 00:39:41,457 Speaker 1: fellow CNN colleagues and a court filing and the American 661 00:39:41,497 --> 00:39:45,377 Speaker 1: Federation of Teachers apparently doesn't know what the Ukrainian flag 662 00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:49,337 Speaker 1: looks like. Our many social studies teachers apparently in the group. 663 00:39:49,457 --> 00:39:52,137 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at this all in quick hits. 664 00:39:52,177 --> 00:39:57,497 Speaker 1: First of all, CNN want to mess that place was 665 00:39:57,657 --> 00:40:01,137 Speaker 1: and still is in so many ways very bad people 666 00:40:01,177 --> 00:40:05,937 Speaker 1: in the senior leadership there, including the now ousted now 667 00:40:05,977 --> 00:40:10,857 Speaker 1: ousted Jeff Zucker, who's a nasty fellow, and some of 668 00:40:10,857 --> 00:40:15,137 Speaker 1: the anchors there are also deeply narcissistic, dishonest, and bad people. 669 00:40:15,537 --> 00:40:18,297 Speaker 1: And Chris Cuomo, whatever you think of him, is taking 670 00:40:18,337 --> 00:40:21,057 Speaker 1: shots at some of them. Former seeing an anchor Chris 671 00:40:21,137 --> 00:40:23,857 Speaker 1: Cuomo bashed fellow, seeing an anchors Don Lemon and Jake 672 00:40:23,937 --> 00:40:26,217 Speaker 1: Tapper at a court filing, seeing n foster a culture 673 00:40:26,297 --> 00:40:30,777 Speaker 1: in which exceptions the network standards and practice were routinely sanctioned. 674 00:40:30,777 --> 00:40:32,697 Speaker 1: And that culture began at the top with Jeff Zucker 675 00:40:32,737 --> 00:40:35,937 Speaker 1: and Gullist. As long as CNN's ratings would not be hurt, 676 00:40:36,017 --> 00:40:38,257 Speaker 1: Zucker and Gullis were more than willing to overlook major 677 00:40:38,297 --> 00:40:42,577 Speaker 1: transgressions by CNN personalities. Are just Don Lemon and Jake Tapper, 678 00:40:43,257 --> 00:40:46,777 Speaker 1: or even to engage in blatant misconduct themselves. Oh man, 679 00:40:46,817 --> 00:40:48,977 Speaker 1: I don't have to read more of this because I 680 00:40:49,057 --> 00:40:51,097 Speaker 1: want to know what this misconduct is. I mean, if 681 00:40:51,097 --> 00:40:54,497 Speaker 1: it's being essentially pundits pretending to be journalism. Of course 682 00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:56,457 Speaker 1: that's what Tapper does, with Cuomo does, would all of 683 00:40:56,457 --> 00:40:59,097 Speaker 1: them do ridiculous? Anyone who watch them thinks they're watching 684 00:40:59,177 --> 00:41:02,657 Speaker 1: journalisms isn't very smart, But that's what CNN's audience. They 685 00:41:02,697 --> 00:41:06,737 Speaker 1: still buy into that stuff. So, yeah, he's taking shots 686 00:41:06,737 --> 00:41:08,457 Speaker 1: at some people here. We'll have to see. There's a 687 00:41:08,457 --> 00:41:10,497 Speaker 1: lot of money at stake. He's suing them for millions 688 00:41:10,537 --> 00:41:13,497 Speaker 1: and millions of dollars. What a mess, What a joke 689 00:41:13,697 --> 00:41:18,017 Speaker 1: CNN has turned into. And it is a place that well, 690 00:41:18,057 --> 00:41:20,457 Speaker 1: hopefully we'll have to do a whole house cleaning there. 691 00:41:21,217 --> 00:41:24,817 Speaker 1: The American Federation of Teachers is run by Randy Weearden. 692 00:41:26,017 --> 00:41:29,857 Speaker 1: Randy Weearden is really a propagandist for the left. She 693 00:41:29,937 --> 00:41:32,897 Speaker 1: doesn't really care about kids. She cares about adults who 694 00:41:33,017 --> 00:41:36,777 Speaker 1: vote Democrat, paying their teachers union dues and giving the 695 00:41:36,817 --> 00:41:38,817 Speaker 1: Democrats a lot of votes. That's really the job. It's 696 00:41:38,817 --> 00:41:41,697 Speaker 1: certainly not about children. Let's remember that the American Federation 697 00:41:41,737 --> 00:41:44,457 Speaker 1: of Teacher has worked directly with doctor Anthony Fauci in 698 00:41:44,457 --> 00:41:47,257 Speaker 1: the run up to school closures to make sure that 699 00:41:47,297 --> 00:41:49,817 Speaker 1: schools were closed down because adults were so scared of 700 00:41:49,817 --> 00:41:51,977 Speaker 1: the virus. And then of course pretty much everybody got 701 00:41:52,017 --> 00:41:54,337 Speaker 1: sick anyway, because you know, he can't stop the virus, 702 00:41:54,657 --> 00:41:58,217 Speaker 1: they pretended. But anyway, Randy Winegarden, you've seen they've now moved. 703 00:41:58,217 --> 00:42:01,417 Speaker 1: The mass mobilization of a left has gone from total 704 00:42:01,497 --> 00:42:06,297 Speaker 1: COVID panic and paranoia to all things Ukraine. They all 705 00:42:06,337 --> 00:42:08,897 Speaker 1: care so much about Ukraine all the time. Suddenly, even 706 00:42:08,897 --> 00:42:10,577 Speaker 1: though very few of them can find on a map, 707 00:42:10,937 --> 00:42:12,937 Speaker 1: and I think even fewer of them would be able 708 00:42:12,977 --> 00:42:16,217 Speaker 1: to pick out the Ukrainian flag. Here is wine Garden 709 00:42:16,257 --> 00:42:21,497 Speaker 1: holding up a WE stand with Ukraine sign. The Ukrainian 710 00:42:21,577 --> 00:42:26,977 Speaker 1: flag is upside down, but I guess they didn't really 711 00:42:26,977 --> 00:42:29,977 Speaker 1: want to look that one up beforehand. You all know 712 00:42:30,817 --> 00:42:34,097 Speaker 1: that I think that doctor Anthony Fauci is responsible for 713 00:42:34,177 --> 00:42:40,617 Speaker 1: more misery, despair, and health reductions and even perhaps untimely 714 00:42:40,697 --> 00:42:43,537 Speaker 1: deaths from things like deaths of despair than any other 715 00:42:43,577 --> 00:42:47,697 Speaker 1: person in America. I think he has been catastrophically damaging 716 00:42:47,777 --> 00:42:50,457 Speaker 1: during COVID, not helpful in fact, in the least, he's 717 00:42:50,457 --> 00:42:52,897 Speaker 1: a little megalomaniac. He's a tyrant and what he's done 718 00:42:52,977 --> 00:42:55,657 Speaker 1: is awful. Case you're wondering what I think of this guy. 719 00:42:56,137 --> 00:42:58,777 Speaker 1: But he disappeared for a few moments there, and we're 720 00:42:58,817 --> 00:43:01,817 Speaker 1: making some jokes about trying to find him. You lost 721 00:43:01,857 --> 00:43:04,617 Speaker 1: in the couch cushions, like the little tyrant lilipution that 722 00:43:04,657 --> 00:43:08,577 Speaker 1: he is. And it turns out Fauci has re emerged. 723 00:43:08,617 --> 00:43:11,817 Speaker 1: But this is the even more important part. He's re 724 00:43:11,937 --> 00:43:14,777 Speaker 1: emerged to let everybody know we might have to mask 725 00:43:14,857 --> 00:43:16,457 Speaker 1: up again and do all that crap. It didn't work 726 00:43:16,457 --> 00:43:18,417 Speaker 1: the last time, one hundred times that he told us 727 00:43:18,417 --> 00:43:21,497 Speaker 1: to do it watched. We have to be careful that 728 00:43:21,617 --> 00:43:25,937 Speaker 1: if we do see a surge as a result of that, 729 00:43:25,937 --> 00:43:30,697 Speaker 1: that we're flexible enough to reinstitute the kinds of interventions 730 00:43:30,737 --> 00:43:34,537 Speaker 1: that could be necessary to stop an additional surge that 731 00:43:34,537 --> 00:43:38,177 Speaker 1: could mean a return of mandatory masking, especially in areas 732 00:43:38,377 --> 00:43:41,417 Speaker 1: of high transmission. They've never been able to stop a 733 00:43:41,457 --> 00:43:43,057 Speaker 1: search with this crap. I mean, how many times we 734 00:43:43,097 --> 00:43:45,057 Speaker 1: have to go through it doesn't work, doesn't do, it 735 00:43:45,057 --> 00:43:48,377 Speaker 1: has no effect at least Governor Randa Santis is out 736 00:43:48,377 --> 00:43:50,377 Speaker 1: there are pointing out that for example, to travel mask 737 00:43:50,457 --> 00:43:56,377 Speaker 1: mandate on planes is something that only morons or totalitarians 738 00:43:56,377 --> 00:43:58,977 Speaker 1: could support. Watch and if you look now what they 739 00:43:59,057 --> 00:44:04,937 Speaker 1: just did. They extended the forced masking on airplanes and 740 00:44:04,977 --> 00:44:08,857 Speaker 1: on transportation. Now think about this. You go on an 741 00:44:08,897 --> 00:44:11,697 Speaker 1: airplane and if you just want to sit there and 742 00:44:12,257 --> 00:44:15,377 Speaker 1: read a magazine without a mass, they say that's the 743 00:44:15,417 --> 00:44:17,497 Speaker 1: worst thing in the world. But if the person right 744 00:44:17,537 --> 00:44:21,417 Speaker 1: next to you pulls the mass down and fake sip 745 00:44:21,457 --> 00:44:23,977 Speaker 1: on water for two hours, then they don't have to 746 00:44:24,017 --> 00:44:26,897 Speaker 1: wear the mask. I mean, give me a break. This 747 00:44:27,017 --> 00:44:30,737 Speaker 1: is theater. This should not be extended. It should have 748 00:44:30,777 --> 00:44:33,257 Speaker 1: never been done in the first place. But clearly now 749 00:44:34,337 --> 00:44:38,657 Speaker 1: this is a farce. It is a farce speaking truth. 750 00:44:38,657 --> 00:44:40,777 Speaker 1: It's what we do here. That's every time I hold 751 00:44:40,817 --> 00:44:42,777 Speaker 1: the line. The no spinoos of Bill Riley is next, 752 00:44:43,137 --> 00:45:00,457 Speaker 1: Jill Tigh. There's a battle going on right now, but 753 00:45:00,497 --> 00:45:02,497 Speaker 1: maybe the most important fight our country's had since the 754 00:45:02,537 --> 00:45:05,577 Speaker 1: Revolutionary War. Once again, it's about our freedom. People like 755 00:45:05,577 --> 00:45:08,177 Speaker 1: you and me are being canceled, our speech increasingly censored 756 00:45:08,177 --> 00:45:10,857 Speaker 1: by big tech and corporate media. Can't let that happen. 757 00:45:11,217 --> 00:45:13,897 Speaker 1: Found to fight back, Please stand with us and support 758 00:45:13,977 --> 00:45:15,857 Speaker 1: the first team. He be a part of our team 759 00:45:15,897 --> 00:45:18,217 Speaker 1: dedicated to preserving the very essence of who we are 760 00:45:18,657 --> 00:45:19,417 Speaker 1: free Americans,
