WEBVTT - Noem vs Biden 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.640 All right, thank god it's Friday, right TGIF. Thank you 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:05.880 Scott Shannon, thanks to all of you for being with us. 0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:08.240 Toll free or number eight hundred and nine four one. 0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.000 Sean you want to be a part of the program. 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.960 Christy Gnome is saying, Hey, why don't you come work 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.680 for us? If you're in law enforcement, it's gonna join us. 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:18.119 At the bottom of this half hour. We have a 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:22.720 lot of ground to cover today as we cover what 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:28.480 is the battle, the race to destroy capitalism as we 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.880 know it, which is everything in the Biden agenda. Now, 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.400 is it true, Linda, tell me if this is true 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.279 that Joe Biden now said that we're gonna have a 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.360 travel band with India. I don't know. Isn't that historical 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.720 racist xenophobia on his part? I mean, based on his 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.080 own definition of course, right, I would think, just just 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:54.800 saying anyway. House Republicans, by the way, they are now 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:59.160 questioning whether the Biden administration inflated the census count in 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.480 Blue State. Now a letter that's sent out by more 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.959 than a dozen House Republicans today questioning the Commerce Secretary 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.839 on whether there was any political interference in the final 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:14.600 census numbers. Would any of this shock you would any 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:19.280 of its surprise, you know it wouldn't. The population results 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.840 released by the Census Bureau strikingly different from the population 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.600 evaluation estimates only released a couple of months ago in 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:31.120 December of twenty twenty, and remarkably the differences all benefit 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.560 traditionally blue states, which gained population compared to the estimates, 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.800 over red stage which tended to lose population. I have 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:44.080 one word for every Republican. It's called a lawsuit challenge it. See, 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.559 we have this other branch of government. I know Joe 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:51.400 ignores your branch, the legislative branch. Well, the judicial branch, 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:55.400 coequal branch is designed to resolve conflicts between the executive 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.720 and legislative branches. So we'll see. What are the fascinating 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:06.960 rollouts of Tim Scott's speech the other night is that 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.959 I'm watching the comments of Biden and Harris and watching 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:18.280 them back pedal on the claim that America is racist 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.880 because of what Tim Scott said. And I'll tell you 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.640 the backlash that now exists in terms of how the 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:33.400 medium mob frankly, they sound racist to me. The viciousness, 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:38.240 the repulsive comments you know at Jack at Twitter allowed 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:42.200 for twelve hours the trending of Uncle Tim before he 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.720 finally stopped it. Now, it was a Republican of any kind, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.720 they would have been suspended, they would have been banned permanently. 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.079 But of course there's not any equal application of standards 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:57.400 anywhere in this country anymore, especially a justice system. So anyway, 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.920 in an interview with the Today's Show, clip aired of 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:06.400 the speech given by Tim Scott, Biden was asked to 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.639 respond to Scott's remarks, No, I don't think the American 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.160 people are racist, and he went on to give his explanation, 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.480 but I think after four hundred years, African Americans have 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.880 been left in a position where it so far behind 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.400 the eight ball in terms of education, health, in terms 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.120 of opportunity. My first question hearing him was, what the 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.359 hell did you do the eight years of a vice president? 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:32.520 Because it wasn't you, And it wasn't Obama that gave 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.960 more money to historically black colleges. That was Donald Trump. 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.640 It wasn't Obama and Biden that shattered record low unemployment 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.960 numbers at one record after another for African Americans and 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.720 Hispanic Americans. We've gone through the list many times. That 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.760 was Donald Trump that did all that Donald Trump that 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.520 put in place criminal justice reform to end the disparate 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:01.480 sentencing that was created in large part art by Biden's 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.640 ninety four crime Bill, when he was calling, you know, 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:09.080 kids in the streets President, predators, you know, And the idea, 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.560 it just sticks to it. I know, I'm the only 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.600 one that'll say it. I can't help it. The idea 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:19.240 that this guy partnered with the former clansmen and praised 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.800 the former klansmen and praised the other segregationist, praised the 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.400 guy that filibustered the sixty four Civil Rights Act, sixty 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.599 five Voting Rights Act, partnering with that former clansmen to 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.400 stop the integration of schools because he didn't want schools 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.400 to be racial jungles. How does he get a pass? 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.159 And then the most bizarre part of the equation is 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:46.120 Kamala Harris called him out on this in a primary debate. 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.200 Haven't heard a word since doors anyone in the mob. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.880 The media dared to ask Kamala Harris, well, you said 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.880 this about Joe. I think she was asked one time. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.240 Her answer was, Oh, that was only it was only 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.920 a campaign, that was only a debate. Oh, those those comments, 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.800 what you said on that debate stage more and sincere. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.160 But to think now. Kamala Harris also goes on record, no, 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:13.600 I don't think America's a racist country. Now, even Tim 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.480 Scott described that racists do exist in this country. There 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.560 are ignorant racist people in the world. You're always gonna 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.159 have dumb, ignorant people. Unfortunately, you're gonna have people that 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:28.560 you know are evil also in their hearts, all backgrounds, 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:33.400 all racists. But it doesn't mean systemic racism. Is what 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.040 the question was here, which they have been saying, you know, 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.280 to what part you know, Jen Socket didn't want to 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.200 answer the question. I us she's still circling back on 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.120 the question of what about Joe Biden's past on the 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.320 issues of right. Nobody wants to touch it in the 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.400 media mob. They just try to ignore me when I 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.760 ring it up. Okay, we'll just ignore Hannity and hope 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.560 that nobody else picks up on it. That's pretty much 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:02.040 what they do. But that's all because Tim Scott led 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.600 the way on this. Now, there are important discussions to have. 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.839 You know, you want to know Joe is not wrong 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.440 when he talks about the educational system, and he's not 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:16.320 wrong when he talks about violence in our inner cities. 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:21.080 This is something we pointed out repeatedly when he was 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:26.040 vice president and Obama was president, and Obama's home city 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.880 of Chicago, the death toll that was going on even then, 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.000 and the number of people shot every weekend, and the 0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:36.400 people shot and killed whose names you never hurt here 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.680 because it doesn't fit the political agenda of those that 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:46.280 selectively choose which issues they want to highlight based on 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:51.000 what political how they can politicize something. That's why if 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:55.240 it's about a cop shooting at an African American and 0:06:55.880 --> 0:07:00.280 involved in that shooting will usually know their names, especially 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.880 now with all these these bodycam videos being released day 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.000 after day after day. In most cases, they are showing 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.480 a trend here that the cops have a hard job 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.480 and that they have to determine in a fraction of 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.880 a second whether or not the person that has been 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.400 resisting arrest, running away from them, whatever the situation happens 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.480 to be, whether that is a gun in their hand, 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.720 and then they have to act. And in many of 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.120 these cases we're finding, yeah, the people did have a 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.160 gun in their hand and they were about to shoot cops. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.280 You know, three videos that we've shown in just the 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:41.080 last two weeks on television showed that. So that's happening. Well, 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:46.080 it's fascinating though. Two is you know, I had somebody 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.040 remind me Rush said, let' he say. He said, it's 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.560 hard to compete with Santa Claus Russia. Lombad said that 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.600 I'd never hear I'd never heard him say that, but 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:57.480 that sounds like Rush because Rush had that unique ability 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.520 to take on pretty much everything and is voice will 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.880 forever be missed. And anyway, it's kind of a great 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.200 point when you think about where we are and the 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:14.280 appeal of socialism, especially among younger people, because they don't 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:18.040 seem to realize that it's been tried in many forms, 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.600 It's been given many names, and every time it is tried, 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:26.320 it fails spectacularly. The idea that everything the New Green 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.960 Deal is promising, from pre K education through college education, 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:35.960 through loan forgiveness and government daycare and government wages guaranteed 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.040 and jobs guaranteed and healthcare guaranteed, well that's predicated on 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.680 the idea that they're actually capable of following through and 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.520 accomplishing the promises that they're making. The false hope of 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.040 the false security that they offer. But I would argue 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.760 that the same people said that, well, they wouldn't squander 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.800 the Social Security lock box money, and they did, and 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.760 Medicare and social Security are headed towards insolvency. The same 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.240 people that promise you get to keep your doctor plan 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.760 and save money, we're gonna We're gonna trust them again 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.800 because none of those promises were fulfilled. The same people 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:16.480 that can't keep law and order and allow basic security 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:21.920 and safety for every citizen, especially in cities and states 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.800 that have been run by liberal Democrats for decades. And 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.800 the same people that promise good schools for your kids 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.040 every two and four years. They've done a miserable job 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:32.800 with that too. Now we're going to trust them with 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.280 all this, and somehow we're going to be dumb and 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.199 gullible enough to believe this. You know, two trillion dollars 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.400 of emergency COVID relief, three trillion dollars boost a ball 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:48.040 out money and down payments for every new Green deal, 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:55.760 fantast socialist fantasy ever, and everything's infrastructure now, child cares, infrastructure, educations, infrastructure, 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.680 everything's infrastructure, None of its infrastructure. All is the new 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.880 Green deal socialism. They just don't want to call it 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:08.600 what it is. Free pre K education, free childcare, free college, 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:13.760 community colleges, free loan forgiveness. We're gonna tax the evil 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.040 rich and the corporations and people that actually make a 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.280 profit in capital gains, but you're gonna get childcare and 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:25.280 school meals schools. Yeah. Great, can't wait to see the 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.600 government healthy food menu that they're gonna offer kids. I'm 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.840 sure they're gonna love it. Sounds like something Linda might 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.000 put together and prevent kids from getting McDonald's and a 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.240 happy meal where they could actually be happy enjoying their meal. Anyway, 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.240 that's what they're promised done on this Friday. Are you 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.640 feeling good? Yeah? Boy? Did you tell Liam we've been 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:51.200 talking about them? Oh? Liam heard the segment. Liam heard 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.679 the segment and with Uncle Sean or with me. First 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.720 of all, Liam said to me, what is the happy meal? 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.800 First part of this argument. He doesn't know And five 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.400 years old, he doesn't know what a happy meal is 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.560 the only kid in America five years old that doesn't 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.040 know what a happy meal is. And I said, do 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.800 you think that mamma makes good chicken nuggets and French 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.840 fries at home. He goes, oh yeah, mamma, they're the best, 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:21.000 okay else other than what you give him. So he 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.960 doesn't have any reference point to to to sample what 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.400 the other fair that exists out there taste like. I 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.240 gotta tell you, I think I'm gonna go out on 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.360 a limb here, was gonna take a risk and say 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.680 that my food might be a little bit better than McDonald's. 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.200 You know, I'm just taking a limb here and say 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.560 you're you're happy meal chicken nuggets and air fried French 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:45.240 fries that don't include a toy, and he's gonna like 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.840 the toy, and he's gonna enjoy those french fries probably 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.400 a lot more than your air fried French fries. I 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.960 don't think so. I don't think so. Don't hate it 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:55.520 till you try it. Let me tell you it's a 0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:00.400 game changer. Progressive lawmakers in the squad and now ragging 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.400 that they own Joe Biden. They're bragging about it. They're 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:08.280 bragging they're setting the agenda. You got to tweet Congresswoman 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:14.040 Omar Yeah. Key policies that have been progressive sponsored bills 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.320 from more than a decade now being pushed by the potus, 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:22.599 free pre K, free community college tax, the rich tax, corporations, 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:27.599 paid family leave, childcare, school meals. That's the power of organizing. 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:32.600 Let's keep going. Congresswoman Omar bragging she controls and owns 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:37.839 Joe's agenda. Congresswoman Accio Cortez, Not enough credit is given 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:42.880 to the countless activists, organizers, advocates whose relentless work is 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:48.120 why we're even hearing anything about universal childcare. White supremacy 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:53.880 is terrorism, labor, living wages tonight. Yes, we cannot stop 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:58.640 until it's done. Keep going. Another squad member, Congresswoman Presley, 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.520 listening to this an address, I hear the influence of 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.840 organizers across the generations. You have brought us to this moment. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:13.440 You've demanded union jobs, living wages, healthcare, paid leave, medical leave. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.640 This is a once in a generation moment. They're bragging 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:22.719 they own them. Just I told you, Joe, Nancy and 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.560 Chuck are scared to death of the squad. The squad, 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.840 the Green New Deal, socialist run the country. My final 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:36.240 numbers in I mean, Donald Trump's first joint speech before 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.760 Congress had nearly twice the viewership of Joe Biden's low 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.960 rated speech. Only twenty four million Americans tune. And I'm 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:49.920 gonna tell you why, because America's figured this out already. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.079 Nobody in the media mob, they're not going to talk 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:56.720 about it. They've figured out Joe is a radical leftist. 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.800 They got it. Everyone hears it, they pick up an 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.520 they see it, and they they've come to their conclusion. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.160 What is the point of He's not going to tell 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.599 the truth about core packing, doesn't talk about it, not 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.160 going to acknowledge the crisis at the border, not going 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.480 to talk about DC statehood. He's not going to talk 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.520 about He's just gonna give you or everything is infrastructure 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.760 and investment. No, it's higher taxes for everybody. We're all 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.960 gonna pay. We're all gonna be now, we're gonna be 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.520 energy independent. Every American will pay the corporate rate because 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.320 they're going to pass that on to every American, and 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.240 we're all going to pay more to fill up our 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.520 gas tanks and heat and cool our homes. People have 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.200 figured it out. Here's the next stage of danger that 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.480 we need to pay attention to. Delhi Caller had a 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:48.880 piece today Overrun by disinformation. Liberal groups are urging Biden 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:55.560 to crack down. Are you ready for this on free speech? Now? 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.520 Do you understand what that is? If it wasn't bad 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.720 enough that the medium mob is ninety nine percent radical left, 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.640 it wasn't bad enough. Groups are trying to silence conservative 0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:11.800 talk radio as they've been doing for decades, and silence 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.920 the few voices on Fox and I say few because 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:20.680 it has diverse opinions, as everybody can tell, to silence 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.800 every conservative voice? What does that mean? Crack down on 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:28.040 free speech? They actually want him to create a federal 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:33.360 task force to combat disinformation, you mean, like as defined 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.680 by at Jack at Twitter and big tech that didn't 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.800 want to run with the Hunter laptop story before the election, 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.240 nor did they ask tough questions or Joe, and they 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.440 protected him in the Candidate Protection program. Governor Christy know 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.280 him next well. Even one of fake news CNNs, I 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:55.240 guess one of their medical Punda and somebody that works 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.720 for fake news CNN had the same observation that I 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:04.360 did and said it was really bad optics and questioned 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.440 why when the speech was given to both Houses of 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.840 Congress there were only two hundred people in a chamber 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.480 that holds sixteen hundred, Especially since everybody that works in 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.520 the House and the Senate in Washington. They have been 0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:23.080 given every opportunity to be vaccinated since early late December 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.680 of last year. So, in other words, Biden is now 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:31.000 out there saying yesterday saying, well, Americans should keep wearing 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:37.800 masks even if they're vaccinated. It's their patriotic responsibility for 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.640 God's sake. That's his quote. I'm like, well, hang on 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:45.840 a second, because my understanding was as they and I 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:47.960 refuse to tell people what to do because I'm not 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.800 a doctor. You know, I bring on doctors to interview 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.800 them so that you can make an informed decision for yourself. 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.960 Here different view points, some that I agree with, something 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.560 that I might disagree with, but at least you get 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:07.040 to get some context and texture to the you must 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:10.960 get vaccinated crowd out there. And I'm a believer in science, 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:14.480 and I'm not anti vACC at all. Not one bit 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.280 of me is I just want I just don't feel 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.280 it's my position as a talk show host. I don't 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.879 know anything about your medical condition, and I'm also a 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.000 believer in medical privacy. I don't think you should have 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:30.800 to answer everyone's question all the time. Are you vaccinated? Okay, 0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.879 that the ideas, you get vaccinated to protect yourself if 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:38.919 it's the right decision for you, in consultation with your doctor. 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.080 And I urge people to do all their research on 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:45.879 their own, get as much information as possible, consult with 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.000 as many doctors that you might have, or people that 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:53.200 you trust that are doctors or medical researchers or scientists 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.240 that you have faith in, and then based on your 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.159 medical condition and consultation with your doctor, you make an 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:03.840 informed decision. And you know, I am grateful that. Okay, well, 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:09.080 we do have three vaccines. I've read the efficacy response 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.159 on all three of them. I suggest you read it 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.679 as well. Anyway, somehow this is now so it just 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:20.480 is a little odd that Biden is saying, if you're vaccinated, 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:24.120 you should keep wearing your masks. It's your patriotic responsibility. 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.919 And if everybody was vaccinated in the House and the 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.840 Senator at least had access to it, and if they 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.280 want to keep people in masks, I guess they can indoors, 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.919 he's saying, even outside half the time, they can't make 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:40.520 up their mind on that. The National Park Service in 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:45.480 South Dakota denied South Dakota's request to hold the fireworks 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:50.720 display at Mount Rushmore. Now. Governor Christy Nome says she's 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.919 suing the Biden administration over the decision to allow the 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.400 Fourth of July fireworks at Mount Rushmore this year. They 0:18:57.560 --> 0:19:00.760 deny the state request to hold this fire works display, 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:06.480 citing concerns about COVID nineteen and tribal objections and potential 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:10.720 danger to the park itself. Anyway, this lawsuit is moving forward. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.640 Governor Christi Nomo South Dakota joins us, Now, how are you, hi, Sean, 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.119 I'm doing good. How are you doing I'm good now. 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.040 I think it's important to remind people you never put 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:25.760 any mandate in place at all. You urge people to 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.960 be smart in your state, but you didn't mandate anything. 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:33.440 You didn't mandate mask wearing, social distancing. But you told 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.600 people in South Dakota that this is what the science 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.080 at this moment it often changed, was telling us to 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:43.600 do right. That's exactly right. Yes, we didn't do any mandates. 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.760 We talked about personal responsibility, trusting people to make the 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.640 best decisions for them, their families, and their businesses. In fact, 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.480 we were the only states that never once closed a 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.760 single business church issue to shelter place or did any 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.360 kind of a mandate. So you know, the people here 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.919 in South Dakota just have gotten through this remarkably well, 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.520 and we have the fastest growing economy in the nation now. 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.439 I believe because of it. Everybody who wanted to have 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.280 a little freedom in the last year they came to 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:13.240 South Dakota, moved, spent their money, took their vacation, and 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:18.320 we're doing really well. So let's talk about the parks 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:21.399 National Park Service denial of this request. I have a 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:26.879 fireworks display. Well, it's dis punitive and political. You know, 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.879 we had had fireworks on July third, the night before 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.160 Independence Day, every year for many years until President Obama 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.880 came into office, and then he took them away said 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.680 that there was environmental concerns. So one of the things 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.600 when I first got elected as governor was I asked 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.080 President Trump to help me bring them back. It's our 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:48.960 one chance to really show off South Dakota, but also 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.040 focus on Mount Rushmore, our founding fathers, and really talk 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:56.560 about our nation's independence on a worldwide scale. Everybody could 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.320 see the show when we had the fireworks display, because 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.119 there was nothing like it. President Trump did help us 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:07.640 get the fireworks back We did all kinds of environmental studies. 0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.080 We jumped through all the hoops that the federal government 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:13.919 wanted us too. We studied our water quality, we worked 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:17.399 with our tribes, we went through all of the fire concerns, 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:20.800 did back burning, and signed a memorandum of agreement. Hell 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.240 hosted the fireworks last year. Now this year, we already 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.960 had that agreement in place, Yet the Biden administration when 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.840 they came in, refused to give us our permits, even 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:33.720 though we had already shown and done all of the 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:37.840 work and had the memorandum signed, and with no reason 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.119 to tell us of why they were denying us the 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:44.720 opportunity to host this show. So my only ability to 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:48.119 really try to get fairness on this issue is to 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.880 sue them, and that is what I'm doing on behalf 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:55.359 of you, frankly our state, but our nation and the 0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:59.040 ability to celebrate our independence the way that our founders 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.680 encouraged us to. It's pretty outrageous. You've you've jumped through 0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.360 every hoop the environmental concern issue in this case, though 0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:12.200 they're specifically cited concerns about COVID nineteen. Now, I don't know, 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:15.920 maybe I'm onto something if even a fake news CNN 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:20.960 medical expert and paid medical analyst says the same thing 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:24.840 about the joint speech to Congress the other day that 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.280 Biden gave and everybody was in masks and the social 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.879 distancing that we all saw with the idea. I thought, 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:36.080 my understanding, Governor is that if you get vaccinated, you're 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:38.560 good to go, and life was supposed to get back 0:22:38.560 --> 0:22:41.800 to normal. That doesn't seem normal to me. And now 0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.880 he's saying, even if you're vaccinated, it's your patriotic duty 0:22:44.920 --> 0:22:48.080 to keep wearing masks. And up until this week we 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:53.000 were told that we even needed masks outdoors. Still, yeah, 0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:56.720 they're not using science. It's actually it's just stupid. And 0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:58.960 that's what's so heard about what we see our federal 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:02.400 government doing right now. We hosted this event last year. 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:06.000 I had thousands of people there, over seventy five hundred 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:09.040 people there, did no social dance distancing. We did hand 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.840 out masks if people wanted them, but we didn't mandate them. 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.679 We did contact tracing. We had people from all over 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:18.200 the country come to Mount Rushmore to celebrate our nation's independence, 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:23.320 and we did not see any cases and spread happening 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.520 because of bringing those people together because they were careful 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.159 and smart. And I told people over and over again, 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.760 I said, if you were scared, stay home. And even 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.119 President Biden has stood up in front of us and 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.960 told us that by July fourth, we should be back 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:42.320 to normal and we could celebrate our independence from this virus. 0:23:42.800 --> 0:23:45.560 What better way to do that than by gathering everybody 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:49.439 at Mount Rushmore to celebrate our nation's independence. I couldn't 0:23:49.440 --> 0:23:52.160 agree with you more. Tell me about the process where 0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:56.440 I'm sure you've spoken at length with the attorneys representing 0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:59.000 the state of South Dakota and representing you on this. 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:02.160 What are telling you? Where can you get in an 0:24:02.160 --> 0:24:06.439 emergency injunction? Now it's April thirtieth. You don't have a 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:09.119 whole lot of time, especially when you're talking about working 0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:12.639 its way through a court system. We don't. When they 0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:16.200 denied us the permits that we're supposed to be allocated 0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:19.040 to us because of the memorandum of Agreement is when 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:21.919 we started working on what our options were. We have 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:25.520 filed the lawsuit today. We're going to push it as 0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:28.199 fast as we can, but obviously we're dealing with the 0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:32.280 court system. You know, I believe that We've got a 0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:34.359 tough challenge in front of us, but this is the 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.600 option that we have. We've already we can prove that 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:40.159 we've done the environmental studies so that we've studies have 0:24:40.240 --> 0:24:43.360 found that there's no significant impact on the surrounding environment. 0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:48.600 We have a go No Go wildland fire enforest checklist 0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:52.080 that there's all kinds of entities of local, state, and 0:24:52.160 --> 0:24:55.040 federal that can declare if there's any fire risk that 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:57.560
