1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: More lockdowns and mandates, hitting cities not just in the 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: US but around the world. The new measures come as 3 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: the tragic impact of school closures and public health mitigation 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: and rules become increasingly clear. We'll take a look at 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: the latest fauciite tyranny and its effects in tonight's Hold 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: the Line. Welcome to Hold the Line. I'm buck Sexton. 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: President Biden addressing the nation today because we have an 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: all time high of COVID cases in the United States. 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: We're hitting global highs now actually for COVID cases all 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: over the world. But hold one second. I thought we 11 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: had this amazing vaccine. It was going to stop the spread. 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: It was all supposed to work, just according to their plan. 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: Except it didn't. We can all see it. They can 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: pretend like we can't, but we can, and we know. 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: And we remember they said, please get the shot, and 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: then they said, yeah, kind of have to get the 17 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: shout was get the shot or else, But it's going 18 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: to end the pandemic. That was the promise, right, get 19 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: the shot or else. But we promise you the pandemic 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: will one once you do. And then sixty plus percent 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: of all Americans and ninety percent plus of those at 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: high risk got the shot, and guess what, it's still 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: spread all over the place. So much for her community 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: at sixty percent vaccines. Right. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has to 25 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: address the nation saying, oh, it's still a pandemic of 26 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: the unvaccinated. Watch this one. This from today. We have 27 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: in hand all the vaccines we need to get every 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: American fully vaccinated, including the booster shot. So there's no excuse, 29 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: no excuse for anyone being unvaccinated. This continues to be 30 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: a pandemic of the unvaccinated. So we got to make 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: more progress. And for patients who still haven't gotten your 32 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: kids vaccinated, please get them vaccinated. It's a pandemic of 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: the unvaccinated. Except they don't even use the term breakthrough 34 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: cases anymore because if they did, we would have to 35 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: say how many breakthrough cases? Oh, they're all over the place. 36 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: You can't even keep track them anymore. The vaccine has 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: clearly failed as a firewall against infection and spread. Yeah, 38 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: that's where we are, folks. We can all see it. 39 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: They're lying to you. They're lying to you. Yeah, the 40 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: vaccines are good if you're particularly in that protection window 41 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: of a few months at limiting your risk, although not 42 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: eliminating it of hospitalization and death, but as a means 43 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: of preventing the infection and spread of the virus. Now, 44 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: this is about personal protection now, not community protection. But 45 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: they won't let it go. They won't let it go. 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: Now we have some people in major cities making demands 47 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: that we go back to some of the same failed 48 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: policies of the past, like school closures. Joe Biden of 49 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: course not coming down hard on the public sector or 50 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: teachers unions. And they're slothful, insanity of trying to shut 51 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: down schools again, you know, because they're all so scared. Way, 52 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: but aren't they all vaccinated or haven't they had the 53 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: chance to get vaccinated? What's the big deal? Biden saying 54 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: that he thinks schools should remain open. Watch, Look, we 55 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: have no reason to think at this point. And almicron 56 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: is worse for children than previous variants. We know that 57 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: our kids can be safe when in school. By the way, 58 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: that's why I believe schools should remain open. You know, 59 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: they have what they need because of the American Rescue 60 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: Plan or the first month we were in office or 61 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: second month that I signed in March we provided the 62 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: States with a hundred and thirty billion with a b 63 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: billion dollars to specifically keeps our students safe and schools open. 64 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: Schools open at least, it seems the Democrats have realized 65 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: that it is politically disastrous for them to shut down 66 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: schools again when schools are low risk places for children 67 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: to begin with, children are at low risk from COVID, 68 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: and there are enormous damaging consequences to shutting it all down, right, 69 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: we should all be quite aware of that at this point. 70 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: But guess what. Detroit Public Schools, for example, are a 71 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: place that still want to shut down if they can. 72 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: The public sector unions in Chicago and even in New 73 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: York are making noise about closing schools right now. Some 74 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: schools are so short on staff that the de facto 75 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: go into a shutdown status at least for a few days, 76 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: maybe a few weeks, but a full on mandated shutdown. 77 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: Here's Detroit Public School board member defending school closures. We 78 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: are aggressively testing and providing free testing for all of 79 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: our staff. We see those numbers over the holiday has 80 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: continued to impact our community. A number of people have 81 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: had reamicron virus I just recovered myself right before enduring Christmas, 82 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: so we know that it's highly contagious, and we just 83 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: want to flatten the curve, and I think that is 84 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: certainly the best way to go to keep everyone safe. 85 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: They can't flatten the curve. I mean, why are we 86 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: even still pretending there's no there's no flattening the curve 87 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: by shutting down schools not even going to make a 88 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: dent in it. The data in New York City suggested 89 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: that restaurants, for example, where a place that maybe less 90 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: than one percent of actual COVID transmission was occurring, but 91 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: they shut down restaurants because, you know, just do stuff. 92 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: So now we're seeing that the teachers unions, who are 93 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: really the bad guys so to speak, in this whole situation, 94 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: they're just awful. They've got their chief Commissar Wine Garden 95 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: out there saying a vaccine mandate for kids five and 96 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: over is necessary for keeping our schools safe? Is your 97 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: is the American Federation of Teachers now supportive of mandatory 98 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: vaccination for all students five and over. What Gavin Newsom 99 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: did in California is really the best model, which is 100 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: that the semester after they are, they go from emergency 101 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: use to full authorization, and the FDA has done everything 102 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: that they need to do. That's what California has said. 103 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: That is the semester that they become mandatory. But and 104 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: you support that national and I personally support that. I 105 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: support vaccine mandate. She says for kids five and up. Now, 106 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: she's a teacher's union hack, so it's not surprising that 107 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: she's going to take this maximal or maximum Democrat Fauci 108 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: Hite position. I guess it's not surprising either than that 109 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: the Surgeon General Vevec Murphy has said that kids five 110 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: and up it's critical for them to be vaccinated. Watch this, 111 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: I would say, at this point, it is still not 112 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: clear that kids are more susceptible to amurcron compared to adults. 113 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: But we do know that in many parts of the 114 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: world that kids have had a lower vaccination rate, which 115 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: may be one of the operative elements here. That's driving 116 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: you know, kids stayed only get sick, but to have 117 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: some kids end up in the hospital. It's why, you know, 118 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: I think we have even more work to do here 119 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: to get more children vaccinated. We've done We've been more 120 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: than two hundred million people vaccinated, fully vaccinated in our country, 121 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: millions who are boosted, but kids saying I had vaccines 122 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: authorized later for them, you know, because the studies took 123 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: longer to do, and that was important to do thoroughly. 124 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: But now we've got to really push put our foot 125 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: on the accelerator. Get our kids who are five and 126 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: above vaccinated. It's more critical than ever. Kids do not 127 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: need this shot, but they won't give it up. Friends, 128 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: They're not going to be They're not going to be 129 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: done with this until your children are on a vaccination 130 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: schedule for COVID, which has about a one in a 131 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: million chance of killing any individual child in this country. 132 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: They're going to want your kid to get the shot 133 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: every year because it is going to be various every year. Right, 134 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: we cannot reason with these neurotic control freaks. They are 135 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: incapable of reason. At this point. All we can do 136 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: is point out the truth and takeaway power. That's all 137 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: we can do. All Right, We've got mental health issues, 138 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: suicide rates on the rise among American's children. It is awful, 139 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: and it's becoming difficult to ignore the damaging effects of 140 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: the Governm's COVID nineteen policies. We come back, we'll talk 141 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: to the president of the Brownstone Institute, Jeffrey Tucker, about 142 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: the impact these policies are having on a generation of 143 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: American kids. Stay with us for that. The tremendous effect 144 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: that school closures and public health mandates are having on 145 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: America's school children are becoming harder to ignore. In addition 146 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: to failing behind in their academics, falling behind, rather, children 147 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: and teams are now increasingly suffering from mental health issues. 148 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: In his morning newsletter, New York Times reporter David Leonhardt 149 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: writes that the issues have been quote aggravated by the 150 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: isolation and disruption of the pandemic. Three medical groups, including 151 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: the American Academy of Pediatrics, recently declared a national state 152 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: of emergency in children's mental health. They said a dramatic 153 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: increases in Emergency Department of visits for all mental health emergencies. 154 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,599 Speaker 1: New York Times isn't the only outlet that seems to 155 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: be getting a message over At CNN, doctor Richard bess 156 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,119 Speaker 1: Or acknowledged the lack of focus on the unintended consequences 157 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: of COVID policy. Watch this what we've learned over the 158 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: past two years, is that there's significant risk keeping children 159 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: out of school in terms of not just educational learning, 160 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: but socialization and mental health and in all kinds of 161 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: things that are really, really important. And we had put 162 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: the big emphasis over these past two years on reducing 163 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: as much as possible the risk of infection, and with that, 164 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: I don't think we paid enough attention to the risks 165 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: of mental health by keeping kids out of school. You 166 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: don't say for more on this, let me bring in 167 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: the president of the Brownstone Institute, Jeffrey Tucker. Jeffrey, thank 168 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: you for with us. Yeah, it's a pleasure to be here. 169 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: And yes, I'm outraged too to listen to these comments. 170 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, oh, we've learned that shutting down kids schools 171 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: can be bad for kids. We've learned that there's a 172 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: psychological cost to massively disrupting people's lives and closing their 173 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: schools and forcing them into zoom classes. We've you know, 174 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: who could have who could have seen this coming, who 175 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: could have known this well? You know, it was an 176 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: outrage that this ever happened. The kids were at a 177 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: vanishing low risk of COVID in the in the first place. 178 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: The whole country was shut down not just schools for 179 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: a pandemic that hadn't basically hadn't yet arrived. And here 180 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: we are two years later with a genuine US pandemic, 181 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: with sickness all over the country, exacerbated by the locked ins, 182 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: and surrounded by astonishing carnage, you know, profoundly affecting the 183 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: children more than anybody else. So this is a moral outrage, 184 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: and we're going to be paying a price for this 185 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: for decades. Hence, given the realities of the data, and 186 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: you alluded to some of it, there, children are very 187 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: very low risk, not only of serious disease themselves. In fact, 188 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: it's generally the case they don't even know they have 189 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: the disease because it's so minor, particularly for those under 190 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: the age of twelve. But what is the argument now, 191 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean, when the teachers unions are as they currently 192 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: are for everyone watching this in places like New York 193 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: and Chicago and Detroit, and I'm sure you'll see more 194 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: of this in Los Angeles, advocating for shutdowns that they 195 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: say will be weeks. But who knows. Of course, is 196 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: there even a good faith argument we made at this point? 197 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean, how could we be at this place Jeffrey 198 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: two years in. Well, you know, it's a very outside 199 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: of the pandemic. There is a perception that somehow kids 200 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: were going to be the super spenders, and they believed 201 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: this from their models that you know, we're fifteen years 202 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: out of date, and you can look at and see 203 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: the model models by the Glasses and cartermet and the 204 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: rest of these people. They were convinced that the way 205 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: disease spreads is through classrooms and school buses, and so 206 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: that was their first target, was to shut down the schools. 207 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: That they paid no attention to the data and nothing 208 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: about the particulars of COVID, which you know is a 209 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: very bad virus, but fortunately and mercifully it spared children, 210 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: unlike nineteen eighteen, or for that matter, unlike sixty seven 211 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: sixty eight or fifty seven fifty eight. So you know, 212 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: we should have known this, but instead we targeted the schools, 213 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: shut them all down, thinking that was going to somehow 214 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: stop the pandemic. You know, I don't know what the 215 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: effect of the school shutdowns were on the spread of 216 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: the virus, but it doesn't matter. Here we are two 217 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: years in and the viruses everywhere. There were a million 218 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: infections just over the last couple of days United States. Right, 219 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: So two years in, we're still dealing with this stuff. 220 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: Everybody's going to get COVID and people are going to 221 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: acquire their immunities, so that, in other words, this pandemic 222 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: ends exactly the way competent epidemiologists always predicted. It has 223 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the lockdowns. So shutdowns, capacity restrictions, 224 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: travel restrictions, barclosures, church closures, and all the rest of 225 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: the things they did. It did nothing to achieve anything 226 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: that it ruined a lot of lives. Yeah, utter madness, 227 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: and it did tremendous damages. I think now even those 228 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: who were advocating for this at some level are beginning 229 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: to understand. And that's how you have some politicians. This 230 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: has become very partisan. As we know, there are some Democrats, 231 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: like New York Cities mayor Eric Adams who are saying 232 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: that there does need to be a limit on how 233 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: much the acolytes of Fauci can traumatize children and get 234 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: away with it. He didn't use those words. Let's listen 235 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: to his words, right, Adults must stop traumatizing children. We 236 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: must stop giving the appearance appearance that this is area 237 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: among those who are making a decision. Michael mulgra and 238 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: I on the same page that we need to create 239 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: a safe environment. He understands that poor black and brown 240 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: children that are homeless, over one hundred thousand in the 241 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: city did not have access to high speed broadband. He 242 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: understands that hundreds of thousands of children don't have food 243 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: at home to eat. The stabilizing diet from them comes 244 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: from school. He understands the increasing attempt to suicide when 245 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: we close down our schools before. So this is not 246 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: the thing. The thing is that this continuation of creating 247 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: hysteria that doesn't exist. Some sense there, it seems, well, 248 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, as he was talking, I'm just remembering these 249 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: memos that I saw being circulated in February of March 250 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, in which you know, Cartermitri was a 251 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: top advocate of closing in schools, said, don't worry about 252 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: it's just close to schools. The kids would rather be 253 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: posting on Instagram anyway. Well, what kids, I mean the 254 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: kids that he knew his friends, people in his neighborhood. 255 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: There have been millions of children around the world who 256 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: have starved because of the supply chain breakages, and and 257 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: the poor kids all over the country that were denied 258 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: access to school lunches and just basic education. People have 259 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: lost two years of their educational experiences if they're unfortunate 260 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: enough to live in in a blue state. I mean, 261 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: just the oppression that's taken place, I don't I don't 262 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: see how anybody can defend it. I think it's a 263 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: long pasttime which we get some genuine apologies, not these 264 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: little surreptitious Oh, we've learned that things aren't as good 265 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: as we thought they would be. No, let's just let's 266 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: let's have some truth and some honesty about what's happened 267 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: to this country and to the children, and and and 268 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: some apologies and some admissions that these people tended to 269 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: know things they couldn't have known, and they they wrecked 270 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: social and market functioning in this country and took away 271 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: our religious liberties and ruined education for two years from 272 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: millions and hundreds of millions of students around the world. 273 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's appalling, and I think it's time 274 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: for a long pastime for honesty. I agree with you. 275 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: We're starting to see a little bit of that, but 276 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: it's just beginning. Yeah, and accountability would be nice too, Jeffrey, 277 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: accountability would be nice. Yeah, thanks for being with us.

As Democrats look to the year ahead, 299 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: some are eyeing potential changes to the filibuster as a 300 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: way to revive President Biden's social spending plan and of course, 301 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: to pass voting rights legislation. That's what they call it. 302 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: A handful of Senate Democrats, as well as President Biden, 303 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: have been pushing for and accept of course, to the 304 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: filibuster to allow them to move on the election bill, 305 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: But Senators Joe Mansion of West Virginia and Kirsten Cinema 306 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: of Arizona have so far held firm their support for 307 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: keeping the sixty vote hurdle in place. You know, our institutions, 308 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. Morgan Zeggers, founder of Young 309 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: Americans Against Socialism, joins me to break it all down, Morgan, 310 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: what's going on? Does it much? Buck? How are you doing? 311 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm all right, I'm all right. Happy new year? Senate 312 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is he having a happy new year? 313 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: I guess we'll have to see. He said that he'll 314 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: force the filibuster filibuster vote by Martin Luther King Junior 315 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: day in order to pass a sweeping election reform bill. 316 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: Here's a piece from a so called dear colleague note, 317 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: let me be clear, January sixth was a symptom of 318 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: a broader illness and effort to delegitimize our election process, 319 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: and the Senate must advance systemic democracy reforms to repair 320 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: our republic or else the events of that day will 321 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: not be an admiration. They will be the new norm. 322 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: Given the urgency of the situation and eminence of the votes, 323 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: we as Senate Democrats, must urge the public in a 324 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: variety of different ways to impress upon their senators the 325 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: importance of acting and reforming the Senate rules if that 326 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: becomes a prerequisite for action to save our democracy. Wolf Morgan, 327 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: it was a mouthful to read. I'm sure it was 328 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: painful to the years for folks. But what's the reality 329 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: of this. I mean, it's a little frustrating that whole paragraph. 330 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: How many times city call us a democracy. We're not 331 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: one of those. Buck. That's just my first thing. A second, 332 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: the other weird word is illness. He said that there's 333 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: a greater illness that they have to fight that you know, 334 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: Jan six was just a tiny part of So that's 335 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: a little concerning because if you remember, I think last week, 336 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, our vice president, said that one of her 337 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: biggest focuses, her big concern is protecting the democracy that 338 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: we have moving forward. And again it's a little concerning, 339 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: and I think everything after jan six has been justified 340 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: because they're able to now use that whole situation to 341 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: claim that we're these evil political opponents that deserve this 342 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: treatment put against us. So at the end of the day, 343 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: I mean, when we look at twentieth century, the rise 344 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: of the left in all other countries, what they usually 345 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: do is immediately once they gain power, they start to 346 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: change the structure. And in situations like Venezuela where they 347 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: democratically elected to democratic socialists like Chavez, once those men 348 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,959 Speaker 1: were democratically put into power, they started to change and 349 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: remove restrictions that were placed into the government specifically to 350 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: limit the power of people like themselves. And so seeing 351 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: that in America today is just so so concerning, And 352 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's one of the most important things 353 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: that we need to focus on to prevent. Here's Senator 354 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion on a filibuster carve out for voting rights specifically. 355 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: Mansion seems like he's going to hold line. Want to 356 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: have your react to it, play it. The need for 357 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: us to protect democracy as we know it and the 358 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: Senate as it is operated for two hundred and thirty 359 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: two years are extremely extremely high bars that we must 360 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: be very careful for willing too. So I'm talking. I'm 361 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: not agreeing to any of this to the extent. I 362 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: want to talk and see all the options we have open. 363 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, I'm thankful that he would 364 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 1: say that, But it's also I mean, how much can 365 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: you trust a politician? I think people on the right 366 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: we get so excited when we see someone like Joe 367 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: Manchin who stands up against the left. But how long 368 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: will he be on our side on this? Because when 369 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: I was looking this morning, I saw Senator Schumer, the 370 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: majority leader. He was saying, their only focus with dealing 371 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: with Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema is to just push push, push, 372 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: and pressure pressure, pressure them until they change their mind 373 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: to do the right thing. As he was saying, So, 374 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: I really worry about what's going on behind the scenes 375 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 1: in DC right now, and I worry also with the 376 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: favors that we see, the pork that we see going 377 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes that most Americans don't know is 378 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 1: going on. That's what I'm like, all Right. I hope 379 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: they don't have much on his head, and I hope 380 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: that he can have a strong backbone on this. There's 381 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: also going to be a lot of Democrat augury around 382 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: this issue, that's for sure. Here is Senator Marquee saying 383 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: that the GOP is attempting to carve out the voting 384 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: rights of black and brown Americans. Watch this one. We 385 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: cannot allow for the Republican Party to use the sixty 386 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: vote margin that has to be reached in order to 387 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: pass strengthening legislation for voting rights in our country to 388 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: be the obstacle that blocks the protection against the erosion 389 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: of rights that's going on right now in Texas, in Arizona, 390 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: in Florida, in Georgia, in red state after red state. 391 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: And if that's what the Republicans are going to do, 392 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: then the filibuster must go so that we can strengthen 393 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: voting rights. Yeah, gotta undermine the system to protect the system. 394 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: Or saying, by the way, when they're talking about voting rights, 395 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 1: they mean things like, you know, basic verification for mail 396 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: in ballots or hard ballot harvesting measures. All of a 397 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: sudden that that's just about racism. Yeah, I mean this 398 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: whole identification thing. It's racist when you have to show 399 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: it to vote. But now you need to be able 400 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 1: to show your vaccination card to do anything in cities 401 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: like New York City that are run by the left completely. Now, 402 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 1: this is Senator Markie. I don't know if you remember 403 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: his campaign video where it took the JFK quote of 404 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 1: ask not what your country can do for you, ask 405 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: what you can do for your country. It took that quote, 406 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: flipped it, and he said it's time for us to 407 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: start asking what our country can do for us. Now, 408 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: this is a straight up socialist, and it's funny to 409 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: hear him talk about why we need to get rid 410 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: of the filibuster when the filibuster was put in place 411 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: to stop people like him from doing damaging things that 412 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: would ruin the future of the country for future generations. 413 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: So I'm really fuming on this one, buck because it's 414 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: not funny. It's not okay to use things like accusations 415 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: of racism and nationalism and white supremacy and all these 416 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: evil words that they have thrown at us when it's 417 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: something as serious as a filibuster or packing the court 418 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: or getting rid of the electoral college. Like I said, 419 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: in every other country where leaders are democratically elected and 420 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: it transitions in to a dictatorial regime that has socialism intotalitarianism, 421 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: it usually starts by those leaders, once in power, removing 422 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: restrictions on their power, removing any limitations that are specifically 423 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: put there on purpose. So this is very concerning, and 424 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: we are following that same timeline of other countries. Morgan 425 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,959 Speaker 1: switching gears here for just a moment before we let 426 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: you get back to spending the country from socialism in 427 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: a Saturday in a choro. The New York Times released 428 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: a headline just days before the anniversary of the January 429 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: sixth riot. Every day is January six now. The Times 430 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: headline read, so, I know we're all seeing a left 431 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: wing media outlets during fear, suspicion, paranoia in a country 432 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: that certainly needs no more of that right now. But 433 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: what are your expectations for what we're going to see 434 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: from them of the next few days. Bug. They are 435 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: going to stretch this as much as they can. They're 436 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: going to take every ounce of opportunity with this situation. 437 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: I knew it on January six as it was happening. 438 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: I remember I was cutting the meat in my kitchen 439 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: for dinner and saying, Oh my gosh, this is going 440 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: to be the justification they've needed to now weaponize the bureaucracy, 441 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: the law enforcement agencies, everything in the federal government against us, 442 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what they've been doing. Honestly, Buck, I 443 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: can't believe it's already been a year since this happened 444 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: and we know basically nothing about it. We know nothing 445 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: about the relationship the communication between Nancy Pelosi and the 446 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: Capitol Police. We know nothing about the relationship or the 447 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: communication between any of the inner agencies. And it really 448 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: concerns me. I think most Americans, whether you're on the 449 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: right or the left, we just want transparency on this. 450 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: It's time to declassify some information, and I hope when 451 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: we get power in twenty twenty two in the House, 452 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: in the Senate, we start looking into this information. They 453 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: have that JAN six committee. Well, that's controlled by the left. 454 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: Right now, I bet you when it's controlled by the right, 455 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: or at least I hope and pray when it's controlled 456 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: by the right, we investigate JAN six. But for some 457 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: other reasons, Morgan, I always appreciate the perspective. Good to 458 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: see you. Thank you. About one hundred thousand Russian troops 459 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: remain poised on you Krane's border, with intelligence analysts predicting 460 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: the number of microw to one hundred and seventy five 461 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: thousand in the coming days. Talking to Jim Carafano of 462 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: the Herriage Foundation in just a moment about it stay 463 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: with us. After a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, 464 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: President Biden claimed he would respond decisively if Russia decides 465 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: to invade Ukraine. In a statement released by Press Secretary 466 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: Jensaki following what was said, President Biden urged Russia to 467 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: de escalate tensions with Ukraine. He made clear that the 468 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: United States and its allies and partners will respond decisively 469 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: if Russia further invades that country. Vladimir Putin fired back, 470 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: reportedly saying sanctions would be a quote colossal mistake. As 471 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: the Russian president trying to soften Biden up more so 472 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: than they already is. Let me bring in James Karafano, 473 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: vice president of the Herriage Foundation and an army veteran, 474 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: to get his perspective. Jim, always good to have you 475 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,719 Speaker 1: at New Year. All right, Let's just first get to this. 476 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: Where do we stand right now? I mean, how how 477 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: close to the brink of an actual hot war in Ukraine? 478 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: Are the Russians taking things? Well? You know, I think 479 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 1: the honest answer is we just don't know. And the 480 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: reason for that is literally everything is in place to 481 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: do an invasion, so we'll only know if there's an 482 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: invasion when they invade. And the only person who knows 483 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: for sure is Vladimir Putin, who would order that. So look, 484 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: I have people who are telling me they think that 485 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: we are literally moments away from troops marching into the Ukraine. 486 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: And I have other people that say, well, they're going 487 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: to wait until after the Olympics, and the other people 488 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: who say, well, the Putin will wait and see what 489 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 1: kind of concessions he gets get. If he gets good concessions, 490 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: then you know, maybe he'll you know, just take a 491 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: piece of the country. So I think it I think 492 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: right now, we don't know, and we won't know until 493 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: putin this science, and which of course is never the 494 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: situation that you want. You never want to go into 495 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: a competition basically only being able to play defense and 496 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: letting the other guy decide the time in place of 497 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: when the next move is. I mean to that point 498 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: about the reaction that may come from this, especially from 499 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: the Biden regime. He said that the US will respond 500 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: decisively if Putin were to invade Ukraine. People hear that 501 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: and take very different things away from this. I understand that, 502 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: you know, there's some strategic ambiguity that I'm sure the 503 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: White House will want to say they want to keep 504 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: here with what exactly? But what do you think that means? 505 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: What would responding decisively mean from the Biden lexicon, but 506 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: also in reality or rather from those who are just 507 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: trying to analyze this, what would that look like? Well, 508 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: one thing that that would deter Bootin, and that's the 509 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: problem is the administration said we need to de escalate. 510 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: Well that's nonsense, because escalation implies that both sides need 511 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: to back down. Well, he created the crisis, He's not 512 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: going to back down. So our strategy goes in with 513 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: the wrong premise. The strategy should be supporting the sovereignty 514 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: and the independence of the Ukrainian people. So that that 515 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: has me worried off the top. And Biden's actually held 516 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: back on providing support to Ukraine because he doesn't want 517 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: to escalate the conflict. Well, that's just a nonsense, nonsense strategy. 518 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I would never recommend anybody go over to 519 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: MSNBC for military analysis as a general matter, but specifically 520 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: from Joe Scarborough, I think it's a risky proposition. But 521 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: he's part of this chorus that's saying move aggressively in 522 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: the situation. Watch this. We've got to be aggressive in 523 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: our defense of our allies and Ukraine, despite what you 524 00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: hear from prudent propagandist propagandists as the world, and yes 525 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: even here in America, despite what you hear. We have 526 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: to defend our democratic allies. And it's time for the 527 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: Biden White House to start speaking more clearly and more 528 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: aggressively and telling us how they're going to stop this 529 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: invasion from happening. I mean, getting a little yelly there, 530 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: but okay, what is that supposed to mean? What are 531 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: the what's the Biden, White House gonna do. I mean, 532 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: we're not going to send troops in, right right, Jim, Well, 533 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: that's that's the old Joe scar Look, we're not gonna 534 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: We're not gonna fight for Ukraine, and honestly, we don't 535 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: have to. There's forty four million Ukrainians. They can fight 536 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: for their own country, but we have a vested interest 537 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: in their success. And the turning Putin would would mean 538 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: the more resources we put in there before there's a conflict, 539 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: the more likely that there won't be a conflict. By restraining, 540 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: putting in resources and giving Ukrainians things to help defend themselves. 541 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: We think that we're trying to de escalate, but we're not. 542 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: We're just encouraging Putin to act before we act. So 543 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: he's already kind of missed the bubble there. Sanctions have 544 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: no relevance at all. Sanctions are not or deterrent. This 545 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 1: country is sanctioned proof, and the reason for that is 546 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: it's an authoritarian dictatorship. They can always rewire things to 547 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: make sure the stuff that they need. They can get 548 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: all the caviare and vodka that they require. So the 549 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: notion that somehow sanctions or deter them is just not true. 550 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: And let's and there's not widespread appetite even for sanctions 551 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: in Europe. Many Europeans, for example, say, what are you 552 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: gonna do sanctioned gas exports? Then we're going to freeze 553 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: this winter if we don't if we sanction Russian gas exports. 554 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: So even if there's a war, there will be people 555 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: that say, we still have to buy Russian gas because 556 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: we have no alternative. So just the threat of saying sanctions, 557 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: not only does it not sound tough to the Russians, 558 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: it actually said that's all you got in the kit bag, 559 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: that's all you got to push back on me. Yeah, 560 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: seems like we know where that's heading. Another part of 561 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: this is of course going to be here we are 562 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: under a Biden administration after four years of being told 563 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: that Trump was in Putin's pocket. Meanwhile Biden's in office 564 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: less than a year and already looks like Russia may 565 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: decide now is the time to go into Ukraine. It's 566 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: interesting that, of course Putin went after Crimea when Obama 567 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: was president and Biden was the vice president. But seems 568 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: like they're already preparing for this. Jim Here's over at CNN. 569 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: Someone saying that this is really about Trump vindicating the 570 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: aims of Russia. It's about Trump somehow. Watch this, Ukraine 571 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: wants to be shielded by the West, and so yeah, 572 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: sanctions are not enough in the view of President so Lenskipe. 573 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: But of course the US and NATO are also promising 574 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: to strengthen the military posture and provide some defensive weapons 575 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: for Ukraine to try to deter a Russian attack. You 576 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: had to President Trump on behalf or vindicating the aims 577 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: of Russia pressuring Ukraine when he was president. Joe Biden 578 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: is taking a different posture. He's supporting Ukraine, but it's 579 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: clearly a standoff that's very difficult. On the other hand, 580 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: I will say one thing, Russia knows that the United 581 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: States is not going to deploy military forces to defend Ukraine. Okay, 582 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: just rewriting history here. This is just not this is 583 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: not reality this guy's talking about as what happened with Trump. 584 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: First of all, Donald Trump gave weapons to Ukraine, weapons 585 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: that the Russians didn't want the Ukrainians to have. And 586 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: so not only did he actually gave real capability to 587 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians that they needed and wanted, Putin tried nothing 588 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: on his watch, so somehow claiming that this is Trump's 589 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: fault is ridiculous. Look, there's two reasons this is happening. 590 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 1: One is Afghanistan. Because Biden looks so reckless and clueless 591 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: and deer in the headlights and incapable of dealing with 592 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: the situation and spend more time trying to cover up 593 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: his own failures than he did responding to the crisis. 594 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: People said, Okay, we know what kind of president we 595 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: are facing. And then they looked around the president and 596 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,240 Speaker 1: what did they see. All these see the same Obama 597 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: people that the Russians and the Chinese and the North 598 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: Korebians and the Iranians played for eight years, and they say, 599 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: we know how this game is played. So Putin is 600 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: going into this with the playbook of the other team 601 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: in his hands and knowing who the coach is and 602 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 1: what plays are going to call. He has absolutely every advantage. 603 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: And that's why he's moving with such aggression and such confidence. Jim, 604 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be talking about this more, unfortunately, 605 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,240 Speaker 1: a lot more in the weeks ahead. Appreciate your perspective 606 00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:01,800 Speaker 1: on your expertise, Like to say, Happy New Year, but Ukraine. Yeah, 607 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: good to see you, buddy. He's got to go three 608 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: through three Ukraine, in Taiwan and run. He's got to 609 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: get all three right right now. He doesn't look like 610 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: he's going to make the playoff. Not a surprise. Good 611 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: to see him, Thank you buddy. For over a year now, 612 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: the left has been claiming the question legitimacy of an 613 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: election is a dangerous democracy. But what happens when one 614 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: of the room does it? We got that story and more. 615 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: We're coming up in quick kits, so it'll be sure 616 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: to stay with us. Marjorie Taylor Green's Twitter band was 617 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: apparently too little, too late, and the views Anna Navarro 618 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: Concock's her own big lie about the twenty sixteen election. 619 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: It is time for crickets. Let's start with the view 620 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: the dumbest show on television I think, really of any kind. 621 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: I mean, there might be some reality TV shows with 622 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 1: you know, drunken former debutante throwing wine at each other 623 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: that are a little bit dumber, but it's a close call. 624 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: Ann Navarro says Donald Trump was illegitimately elected in twenty 625 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: sixteen when she won on rant, She's among the dumbest 626 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 1: political analysts you'll find anywhere in television or any medium 627 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: for that matter. Here she is. And we've seen Republican 628 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 1: after Republican who on January sixth was shocked and calling 629 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,800 Speaker 1: for investigation and for truth and for reaction and action 630 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: from Trump. We've seen them bow down to Trump because 631 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: they want to stay elected, and because they're putting their 632 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: own positions over democracy and over defending the US institution 633 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: of a legitimate election. Look, I felt, I felt that 634 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: Donald Trump had not been legitimately elected. I thought he'd 635 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: gotten help from the Russians. But you know what, it 636 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: would have never occurred to me to take up arms 637 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: against Donald Trump. That's just not what we do in America. 638 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: There we have it. Yeah, twenty twenty or twenty sixteen 639 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 1: election rather stolen. It's a lot to say that illegitimately elected, 640 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: that's the phrase. There are allowed to say whatever they want, 641 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: of course, and this is in large part because they 642 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,920 Speaker 1: have the backing of social media for their propaganda. This 643 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: is a huge problem for this country going forward when 644 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: you have a small group of tech oligarchs who effectively 645 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: can determine what is allowed to be said in the 646 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: public sphere. Because that is the power that the social 647 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: media behemits have at this point. That's a big issue, right, 648 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,439 Speaker 1: But Democrats aren't shying away from this. They like the censorship. 649 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: They want to be able to shut down things that 650 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: they don't like. They want to kick their competitors in 651 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,919 Speaker 1: the political space out of the public square. They don't 652 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 1: want to meet them head on in the marketplace of ideas. 653 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: They want to silence. Here is Representative Jayapaul, for example, 654 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: telling everybody that banning conservative lawmakers that's not enough. Watch. 655 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: It's no secret that our social media companies have been 656 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: part of their algorithms promoting disinformation. And I think that 657 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 1: these steps are important, but frankly a little too little 658 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: and a little too late. The reality is it's not 659 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: just Marjorie Taylor Green. All over Twitter, social media, Facebook, 660 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: all of these companies have been using algorithms that are 661 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: just about clickbait, not about truth. Too little, too late, 662 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: just about clickbait, not about truth. Who determines what that 663 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: truth is? Oh, that's right. The Lib run progressive supercompanies 664 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: like Google and Twitter and Facebook, and they of course 665 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 1: don't want to have any regulation of that. Right. We 666 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: have all kinds of I do radio for three hours 667 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: a day. I can't just start cursing. There's a lot 668 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 1: of things. There was the fairness doctrine and radio for 669 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: a long time. There were a lot of things that 670 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: are regulated on the radio. But somehow these big tech 671 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,439 Speaker 1: companies they can't be regulated by the FCC the same 672 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,720 Speaker 1: way they can't be told sorry, you have to actually 673 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: play by a set of rules to allow for a free, 674 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: open communication. No, I disagree. I think they should be. 675 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: I think it's time conservatives Republicans actually did something about it. 676 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: Then there's the governor of New York. Kathy HOCl didn't 677 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 1: win any election, she was the lieutenant governor. Then Andrew 678 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 1: Cuomo was grabbing a staff female staff members in places 679 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: he shouldn't have been, and that got him in trouble, 680 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 1: and so she now Hocal is the governor of New York. 681 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 1: New York is going through its really worst ever period 682 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: of COVID cases. And what does the idiot governor of 683 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 1: New York say, Well, you know, if you're with the 684 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: kids and you're at home, you know, take them out, 685 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 1: get them vaccinated. That sounds like a great idea. Watch 686 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,919 Speaker 1: I'm a parent, and I'm saying the kids are home 687 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: they're driving me a little nuts today. Let's take them 688 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: out to get their vaccinations so when they go back 689 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 1: to school on Monday, and let me put an exclamation 690 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: point on it, back to school on Monday, that they 691 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: are safe. So parents, I'm pleading with you, they're safe 692 00:39:55,239 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: without the vaccines. Children do not need this accination, which 693 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: is a short lived vaccination as we know in terms 694 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: of its protection, but they just won't ever give it up. 695 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: Doctor Robert Malone was on the Joe Rogan podcast recently 696 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: and got a lot of attention for it. He is 697 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: a world class expert on MR and A vaccines and 698 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 1: has been shining a light on things like the lack 699 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: of a willingness to approach early treatment for COVID from 700 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,720 Speaker 1: the faucciite regime and the Biden administration, among other things, 701 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 1: but specifically on the issue of masks. He points out 702 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: FAUCI has no integrity watch. Are cotton and surgical masks 703 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: effective at preventing the spread of omicron? Yeah? When the 704 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:48,720 Speaker 1: CDC says they are effective, in fact they are, Doctor Malone, 705 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: that's a lie. Is that not true? Yes, it's I mean, 706 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: it's Tony. What can I say? Tony has no integrity. 707 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: He lies all the time. And I've me and my 708 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 1: peers have been watching this for decades and we just 709 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,280 Speaker 1: shrug our shoulders and shake our heads and say, it's fouci. 710 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: It is fauci. That's if for hold the line, the 711 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: no Spinows with Bill O'Reilly is next, shields high,
