1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: A former bartender and the Secretary of State effectively square 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: off in the Munich Security Conference. AOC goes at it 3 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: with Marco Rubio, as well as many other clips from 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: the security conference there. Over in Germany, former President Obama 5 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: acknowledges that aliens are real on this It is President's 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: Day and senders are wondering why on earth were we 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: ever funding trans lesbian dance in Uganda. I think all 8 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: that more coming up. My name is Joe Bob. Thanks 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: so much for tuning in together. We're charging the course 10 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: of America's cultural comeback. Show starts right now. Welcome into 11 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: the show. I hope you had a fantastic weekend and 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: happy President's Day. Obviously other shows are taking it off, 13 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: but we, because we care about the American people, the 14 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: American ideals, and just Western civilization more broadly, are happy 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: to be here with you on this auspicious of President's days. 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: You know, it is interesting having presidents Days when different 17 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: administrations are in power. I think I've just noticed, like 18 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm happy this President's Day. Let us know TPTATPUSA dot 19 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: com if you happen to be a little bit more 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: joyful this President's Day as opposed to President's days of 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: the past, and then you know, it goes like you know, disappointed, 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: then happy, than a time period of disappointment, then you're 23 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: happy again. Just a thought. I'd hearous if that's happening 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: to you. But like I said, you can email us 25 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: TPT ATPUSA dot com anytime you want. That is the 26 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: email address. You can also give a comment wherever it 27 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: is that you happen to be watching this. And remember, 28 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: if those emails are disgusting, bigoted, vile in all nature, 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: we actually will probably read them on the show because 30 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: that's the sort of thing we like around here. It 31 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: fits right in with the vibe. According to a bunch 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: of the lid people that you know call us mean names, 33 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: that's exactly what we do here, is just awful terribleness. 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: So if that email TPTATPUSA dot com or comment is 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: awful and terrible, good chance of actually being read here 36 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: on the show. Now I realize it's a Monday and 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: people are getting back into the flow of things, and 38 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: even in fact it's a holiday, it's not exactly the 39 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: day where you want to be biting off these massive 40 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: chunks of necessary ideological disagreement. But that is, unfortunately the 41 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: position we find ourselves in after the Munich Conference, which 42 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: I think is actually still going on technically, where Senator 43 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: Rubio gave a fantastic speech and AOC also talked, as 44 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: well as Governor Newsom and several other people who will 45 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: get to later on in the show. As that's going on, 46 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: what we feel, what we know is actually happening is 47 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: not these policy disputes, although of course those are there. 48 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: It's not like the financial stability of the globe as 49 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: it interacts with the United States economy and how it's 50 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: just trying to fit. All of those things are being 51 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: talked about, But what is really at the heart of 52 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: all of this is Western civilization. More broadly, what is 53 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: at the core of every single global argument or debate 54 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: or conversation is the overall Western civilization discussion. Is Western 55 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: civilization a good thing? What is Western civilization if it 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: goes away due to the fact that Europe led in 57 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: a gazillion Third worlders into the country. Is that a 58 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: bad thing? I happen to think yes. But really what 59 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: took shape at the Munich Security Conference is that discussion, 60 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: and it really took place in many parts between two individuals, 61 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: one being a former bartender, the other being a Secretary 62 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: of State and former senator. The bartender also is a 63 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: social media influencer. Oh and his a vote in Congress. 64 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: I keep forgetting that part. Congresswoman at AOC didn't face 65 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: off in the traditional sense with Secretary of State Mark 66 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: or Rubiom, but the different talks they both gave effective 67 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: Lee were a rhetorical battle with one another, even if 68 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily in the same time sequence. What she 69 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: was saying is pushing what I believe was an anti 70 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: Western civilization philosophy, And what Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, 71 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: was pushing was, Hey, we have to defend Western civilization 72 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: because look around us, there's electricity in the building, among 73 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: many other fascinating and fabulous things that the Western world 74 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: has brought to well, all of the Western world. Those 75 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: two things were what we're in opposition in Munich. Yeah, 76 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: the policy stuff, yeah, the financial stuff. But what we're 77 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: really talking about when the important thing that needs to 78 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: be discussed and hammered out, especially at levels like that, 79 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: is whether or not Western civilization is worth saving and 80 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: worth defending. What is it? Do we want to keep it? 81 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: Of course, my answer is yes, But I'd like to 82 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: go back and forth between the former bartender and the 83 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: Secretary of State and try to figure out for ourselves, well, 84 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: what is this thing that we want hold on to, 85 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: Should we hold on to it? What are the ramifications 86 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: of if we don't hold on to it. We'll start 87 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: off with an opening salbum and these aren't in chronological 88 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,559 Speaker 1: order as a timeline goes, but they just make sense 89 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: in more of a conversational dialogue component. So this is 90 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: the former bartender AOC discussing what she believes our culture 91 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: is and possibly whether or not it should be upended. 92 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: How deeply rooted is Western civilization. Here's AOC's answer clip six. 93 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 2: But you know, I think it's also important to note 94 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: how thin that foundation is. Culture is changing, culture always changed. 95 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: Culture for the entire history of human civilization has been 96 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 2: a fluid, evolving thing that that is a response to 97 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 2: the conditions that we live in. And so they want 98 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: to take this mantle of culture at the end of 99 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: the day, though, is you know, it is very thin. 100 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: A couple things we have to get to here. First. One, 101 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm not entirely sure what she means by culture. For 102 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: some reason, A bunch of libs think culture means were cool, 103 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: the fun, interesting foods that come from around the world. 104 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: Ron Atkinson did a fantastic bit about this where he 105 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: effectively said, hey, now that we have all the recipes, 106 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: maybe we can send the people back that don't actually 107 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: share the cultural values. Because that's what we're talking about. 108 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: When we're talking about culture. We're not talking about the 109 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: music in the cool little Latin rhythm or you know, 110 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: eating tacos or whatever wherever you come from from around 111 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: the world. That isn't actually what culture is. Those are components. 112 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: But what culture is is a way of organizing your life. 113 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: It's a way of living. It's a way of being 114 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: in a society that has a culture. And so I 115 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: never quite understand what libs say when they say, well, 116 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: now culture is evolving, technology, technology is evolving, but human 117 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: nature has been pretty rock solid in its place since 118 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: the dawn of time. That's that's kind of the whole 119 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: thing that we're trying to discover in the West is 120 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: what is human nature? And how do we circumnavigate within 121 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: the confines of what human nature is? But to the 122 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: point of well, it's actually very thin. Western civilization is 123 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: a very it's it's very barely there. It's it kind 124 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: of just popped up and and it wasn't really around 125 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: and now it's here. But if it goes away, that's 126 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: not super bad. Okay, Well, what does Marco Rubio have 127 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: to say about the thinness of the civilization that effectively 128 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: built the world, not only the West but the entire world? 129 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: What does he have to say about that cut seven. 130 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: For five centuries before the end of the Second World, 131 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: where the West had been expanding. It's missionaries, it's pilgrims, 132 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 3: it's soldiers, it's explorers pouring out from its shores to 133 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: cross oceans, sett on new continents, those vast empires extending 134 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 3: out across the globe. 135 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: Oh, shoot, that doesn't seem very thin. And I don't 136 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: think he even captured the expanse of it. He said 137 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: five century, that's five hundred years that I would argue 138 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: that Western civilization goes back far further than that, probably 139 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: five centuries before Christ. Even you start having philosophers come 140 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: up with ideas, and Athens is where all of the 141 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: philosophy of human nature kind of starts, Like what is 142 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: being a person? You got Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and then 143 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: that goes down the line with thinkers that are trying 144 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: to figure out what the conditions of human nature are, 145 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: and then that melds with Jerusalem, and effectively Christianity, melded 146 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: with the philosophy of Athens, becomes this flourishing society, this 147 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: civilization that grows into a vast, expansive Roman Empire, which 148 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: exerts its power and influence all over the world and 149 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: gives us technological advances that humankind hadn't seen. And then 150 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: we fast forward to the part that Marco Rubio is 151 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: talking about over the five hundred years of Western civilization 152 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: and Christianity spreading around the world and things getting better 153 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: for everybody. But again Aoc says that that's very thin. 154 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: The entirety of humanity and the way that we think 155 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: about things. It's very it's very thin kind of tear. 156 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: It's like a piece of paper that you can tear, 157 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: and you know, nothing will be intact anymore if Western 158 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: civilization gets toppled. But you know, it's thin, it's it's 159 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: not really there. I could probably go on and on 160 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: about that, but I do want to get to a 161 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: lot of this stuff, and I know this is gonna 162 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: take up, eat up a good chunk of time. So, uh, 163 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: what does AOC kind of respond to that? And again 164 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: I recognize that this isn't an actual conversation, it is 165 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 1: an actual dialogue, But effectively, this is the response from 166 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: people like AOC when it talks when they talk about well, 167 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: why why are people drawn you know, to the way 168 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: that humans have lived for thousands of years? Why is 169 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: it that way? I think this is the best answer 170 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: that she could give and cut head eye. 171 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: We can't underestimate the appeal of going back to these 172 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: well worn grooves. A lot of what we talk about 173 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: when we talk about a class based internationalist perspective also 174 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: means ending the hypocrisy towards the global south. 175 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: Okay, so she's then talking about the different class wars, 176 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: But I think the big point that she pointed as 177 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: it's hard to deny you can't underestimate, you know, the 178 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: appeal of people reverting back to the things that have 179 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 1: traditionally worked throughout the scope of history. You know, all 180 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: of the transgender stuff, all of the woke stuff, which 181 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: is effectively libs trying to bend human nature or bend 182 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: reality to fit what they want reality to be, rather 183 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: than accepting human nature in reality and operating within that, 184 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, that thing that they continually try to do. Well, 185 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: First of all, human nature rejects that, But what does 186 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 1: that actually mean? Well, people themselves reject that. So what 187 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: do we do? We retreat back to the things that 188 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: we've always known, that have been true throughout the course 189 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: of history. What she's effectively saying is, look, I understand 190 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: why some people might think that men and women are 191 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: two separate things, and the gender zirr or z or 192 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: the pronouns zig zap, zem, whatever it is. I understand 193 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: why the appeal of like pushing that off to the side. 194 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: But what we can't do is let that happen. We 195 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: need to continue to promote this class warfare that exists 196 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: in our heads because we're trying to bend human nature 197 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: that has existed through the entirety of humanity, bend reality 198 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: to fit what we want it to be, rather than 199 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: accept what it is and operate within those confines. Now, 200 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: what Marco Rubio said in response to that, and again 201 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: I have to keep reiterating, I know this is not 202 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: a conversation in a dialogue, but we're really facing two 203 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: diametrically opposed ways of looking at the world, visions, as 204 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: Thomas sol might call it, between Marco Rubio's constrained vision 205 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: of the world that says, hey, there are parameters that 206 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: we have to operate in, and this is the best 207 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: way that we found to operate within those parameters, or 208 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: the unconstrained vision of AOC that says, anybody, anything can 209 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: be anything, and all of the things are changeable. So anyways, 210 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: here is a Secretary of State Rubio's effective response to 211 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: that in cut nine. 212 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 3: An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained, 213 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 3: or subordinated to systems beyond its control. One that does 214 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 3: not depend on others for the critical necessities of its 215 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 3: national life, and one that does not maintain the polite 216 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: pretense that our way of life is just one among many, 217 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 3: and that asks for permisison before it acts. And above all, 218 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: an alliance based on the recognition that we the West 219 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 3: have inherited together. What we have inherited together is something 220 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 3: that is unique and distinctive and irreplaceable. 221 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: At the risk of going on too long here, I 222 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: think that last thing that he said is we are 223 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: inheritors of a group people throughout the history of civilized 224 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: thought who have decided to build on what human nature is, 225 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: recognizing what it is and adapting accordingly. Because, like you said, 226 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: and like we've been saying, you can't change reality, you 227 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: can't alter what human nature is to try and fit 228 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: what you want the world to be. It's better to 229 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: want what you can actually have, which is this wealth 230 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: of Western knowledge that, for some reasons Libs continue to 231 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: try and push to the side. Mark Rubio also said 232 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: many things in the sense of well, we're not here 233 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: to manage the decline of Western civilization, we're here to 234 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: defend it. And what he hopes that all of our 235 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: European allies would do the same. They wouldn't let Third 236 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: worlders just flood into their countries and upend their culture 237 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: and up end their society, even though they might bring 238 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: some tasty food, which also I don't entirely think is true. 239 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: I think all of the tasty food has been found 240 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: out in any of the you know, Somali food that 241 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: Mayor Jacob Fray was forced to choke down at that 242 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: restaurant as he moved his spoon around like a toddler. 243 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: We don't actually need that part of the culture there 244 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: but also, you know, the way that people behave we 245 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: don't need that necessarily. And what Marca Rubio is trying 246 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: to say, and what we Westerners are trying to convey 247 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: to the rest of the world is hey, this has worked. 248 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: Look around you everything. I mean, obviously they're political disagreements 249 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: and policy disagreements, and yeah, there's you know, difficulties within 250 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: interpersonal relationships your family at home. But outside of all that, 251 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: thirty thousand feet up, zoom out, everything is pretty dang good. 252 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: If you were given the choice of hey, you're gonna 253 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: be born anywhere, but it's gonna be any time. If 254 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: you were to give a choice where you wanted to 255 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: be born, it would be obviously in the United States 256 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: of America and right now. But you know, you could 257 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: also say a Western country and what right now? Because 258 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: what the West has developed has been unparalleled, I mean 259 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: obviously throughout the course of human history. That is why 260 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: it's worth defending. We are the inheritors of that civilization, 261 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: built by people who have understood that human nature is unchanging, 262 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: unlike someone like AOC. The last little salvo we have 263 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: here is I think you know, past all of this, 264 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: like Western thought, you kind of have to bring it 265 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: down back to reality of which side here do you 266 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: want to be on just from a you know, an 267 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: argumentative standpoint, but from a this is how we do 268 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: things standpoint. In one of her talks at the Munich 269 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: Security Conference Congress from an AOC was talking about, well, 270 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: how do you engage with people who want to promulgate 271 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: human nature as a real thing? How do you stop this? 272 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: And what she says, I think is fascinating, This is 273 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: cut ten. 274 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: Important to remember that there are more of us than them. 275 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 2: And to your earlier question when you said, you know, 276 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: what do you say to people who don't know what 277 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: to do in this time? Every one of us can 278 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 2: be stannd in the gears of an injustice and whether 279 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: it is a delay, whether it is saying no. I 280 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: think about how all the people in Minneapolis refuse to 281 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: let ice ICE officers use the bathroom in their establishments. 282 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a small thing, but it matters. 283 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: So in effect, she says, hey, we want to stop 284 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: all of this by really any means necessary, all the 285 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: way from overthrow of Western civilization to not letting people 286 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: who were enforcing the laws that libs themselves agreed upon 287 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: in the last most broad immigration overhaul in nineteen ninety six, 288 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: thirty years ago, all the way from the top f 289 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: overthrowing westernization down to not letting those people use the 290 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: bathroom in your facility. I like, Okay, well, very very 291 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: brief side tangent, I actually would really love the fact 292 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: if businesses would restrict their bathroom usage. I don't really 293 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: like I live in southern California. I don't really like 294 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: going into a bathroom and it smells like a homeless 295 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: and just took a shower in the sink. So that 296 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: on that one, that one point, I will concede. Maybe 297 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: bathroom discrimination is good. It's stupid in what they're doing 298 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, but maybe we should broaden that out to 299 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: again include people who don't want to use my like 300 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: people like myself who don't want to use bathrooms that 301 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 1: are also second to you know, heroin usage or meth 302 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: So there's that. Okay, So do you want to be 303 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: on the side that says, hey, let's throw sand in 304 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: the gears that's literally the terminology that she used, or 305 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: do you want to be on the side that says, hey, 306 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: you know, we got some differences globally speaking, but we 307 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: can still work together. This is a presser that Marco 308 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 1: Rubio recently gave with the Prime Minister of Slovakia, I believe, 309 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: in which he was asked by somebody who probably agrees 310 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: with AOC's worldview. Hey, we need to create conflict, we 311 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: need to create tension. Let's ask them a contentious question. 312 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: This is how Marco Rubio handled that cut eleven. 313 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: Let me speak one more point, because I think you 314 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 3: asked him question in order to like see if you 315 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: can get him against us with something about, oh, you 316 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 3: criticize a lot of countries didn't like what we did 317 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 3: in Venezuela. That's okay, that was in our national interest. 318 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 3: I'm sure there's something he'll do one day that we 319 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 3: don't like him. We'll say we didn't like you did this. 320 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 3: So what that doesn't mean we're not going to be friends, 321 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 3: we're not going to be partners, We're not going to 322 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 3: be able to cooperate with one another. Countries express their 323 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 3: opinion all the time. We have very close allies that 324 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 3: didn't like what we did in that regard, I can 325 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 3: tell you what it was successful. 326 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: So the question again posed ultimately at the end of 327 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: this is which side do you want to be on. 328 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: Is the West this thin, very very fragile, Well you 329 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: can make there. It is pretty fragile, and that's why 330 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: we need to defend it. But is it this thin, 331 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: non justifiable thing that if it goes away, like Marco 332 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: Rubio said in a clip we played earlier, is the 333 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: West just another system among many of the other systems 334 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: that also work, or is it the system that has 335 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: promoted them the most prosperity for the most people in 336 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: the most efficient way to become the greatest civilization mankind 337 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: has ever known? Is Western civilization worth saving? And which 338 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: side do you want to be on? Do you want 339 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: to be on the side where the guy says, hey, 340 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: we did some things. People didn't like some things, but 341 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: we are a strong and powerful nation and we can 342 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: still cooperate on other things even if you didn't like 343 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: the big thing that we did. He specifically they're talking 344 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: about arresting the president of it as well, Buttero, he's 345 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: specifically talking about that, but more broadly speaking, is like, 346 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, we can still cooperate. We're gonna do what 347 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: we want to do because what's in our interest is 348 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: in our interest, and frankly, you can't stop us. But 349 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we can't be friends. Or do you 350 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: want to be on the side of someone saying, hey, 351 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: disrupt and don't let anything happen because we think of 352 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: their mean I know which side, iebon But TBTATBUSA dot 353 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: com if you'd like send along your thoughts. There is 354 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: Western civilization worth defending. And I know we didn't cover 355 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: really we didn't even scratch the surface of the value 356 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: of Western civilization. We don't have time to do that here. 357 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: I just really do think that that is the fundamental 358 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: question before us right now. Do we want a civilization 359 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: that is built around the constraints of human nature and 360 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: operating within those, or this idea that anything can be anything? 361 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: There's no moral guide and there's no there's no actual, 362 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: real tangible thing. It's just all of this floating stuff 363 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: that isn't organized in chaotic but we should run the 364 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: world that way. That wasn't the best description of what 365 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: they do. Do you believe in something or do you 366 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: not as effectively what this is? Let us know TBT 367 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: at TPUSA dot com. Coming up next, we've got we've 368 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: got getting to the point, which again I still believe 369 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: that the jingle to that is a little bit abrasive 370 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: to my rambly personality. But let us know, TV dot 371 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: com we'll be right back after breakdown, go away. Would 372 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: and should the US actually commit US troops to defend 373 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: Taiwan if China were to move? 374 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: You know, I think that, uh, this is such a 375 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: you know, I. 376 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: Think that this is a today. 377 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: This is of course a very long standing. 378 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: You know, in her defense, strategic ambiguity is a tough 379 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: word to remember. It's not it's it's actually the US policy. 380 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: So this is actually interesting here. I think she was trying 381 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: to figure out, oh, shoot, there is an actual answer 382 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: to this based on like how our foreign policy is said. 383 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: Obviously she can have her own opinion, but there is 384 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: a flub up that we all remember when President Biden 385 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: was on stage and Anderson Cooper asked like, Hey, what 386 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: are we going to do? And he said, oh, yeah, 387 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: we'll absolutely defend Taiwan militarily if China ever invades. And 388 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper's like, hold on, what this is like a 389 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: major policy decision? That are you announcing something right here? 390 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: And he was like ooh, I don't know, you know, 391 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: because his brain didn't work anyways, all of that is 392 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: to say this, the US has strategic ambiguity. In other words, 393 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 1: we won't say whether or not we're going to defend 394 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: Taiwan militarily, specifically to not allow China to plan based 395 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: on what our answer is. I don't know if AOC 396 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: was fighting for that answer or just like fighting to 397 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: say something, but that was what was that forty seconds 398 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: of you know the well, I'm not going to redo it. 399 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: You all watched it good times at the Munich Security Conference. 400 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: It is time to get to the point. Get to 401 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: the pine. Get to the pine. Like I said, I 402 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: think that that is like an affront to my overall personality. 403 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: Then get to the point. Get to the point is 404 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: where we cover very briefly but impactfully, the top headlines 405 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: going around, maybe not even necessarily the top headlines, but 406 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: interesting headlines going around that we'd like to bring to 407 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: you but don't have time to get to for a 408 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: full segment of the show. So headline number one point 409 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: number one. ICE Local Police Deals is up nine hundred 410 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: and fifty percent under President Trump. That is from NEWSMAX 411 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: agreements between the US Customs and Enforcement ICE and local 412 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies allowing officers to perform federal immigration within 413 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: the confines of the municipally run jails or prisons. All 414 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: of those collaboratively have surged nine hundred and fifty percent 415 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: in the first year, reaching one hundred sorry, one thousand, 416 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty eight participating agencies as of last month. 417 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the whole sanctuary city thing. This 418 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: is like the well, we're not going to cooperate. It 419 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 1: looks like you are, which is great. The Supreme Court 420 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: really does need to rule on this, and I think 421 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: they're going to. I'm hoping for a broad, sweeping no, 422 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: you can't not not some like super narrow Scotus decision 423 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: that says, well, technically, under this rule, this is wrong here. 424 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: I hope there's a broad like sanctuary states are like 425 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: sanctuary cities or sanctuary municipalities anywhere, and I use sanctuary 426 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: in quotes are not allowed. I hope that's what happens. 427 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: But even if it isn't, ultimately it's a super narrow decision. 428 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: This is good. Nine hundred and fifty percent increase in 429 00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: agencies that are saying, yeah, we'll go ahead, and we'll 430 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: go ahead and comply with the federal law, which is 431 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: crazy to have to think about point number two. Jeffries, 432 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: the minority Speaker of the House, the House minority leader, 433 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: which I found out is not a racial thing. It's 434 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: actually who has the minority of votes in the House. 435 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: So Libs currently have less than the majority, which is 436 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: the Conservatives in the House of Representatives. You know, I 437 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: always thought that being the minority leader was a pretty 438 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: racist thing to say. Honestly, turns out it's actually the 439 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: people who have the less votes. And if you don't 440 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: know whether or not I'm kidding, I'm not. I didn't 441 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: actually know. Jeffries, the Minority Leader, goes all in on 442 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: jerry mandering House control on the line. CNN is the source. 443 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: Now this is actually going to be really interesting. The 444 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: Supreme Court has upheld effectively California's incredibly jerrymandered districts. I 445 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: tend to be of the mind that, hey, that's gonna 446 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,719 Speaker 1: blow back in your face. And I also say this 447 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: with you know, conservative districts, districts that are like, hey, 448 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: this is a thirty point swing, so let's narrow it 449 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: down to a ten point swing, so where we're still 450 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: going to effectively and reliably win this seat, but we 451 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: can also shift that extra twenty percent into another district 452 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: that we can also win there. That's effectively what jerry 453 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: mandering is. I, as a guy who's run campaigns for 454 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: a decent amount of time I guess had run campaigns 455 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: for a decent amount of time, would say, hey, you 456 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: just closed the gap in a totally non winnable area. 457 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: And I think this is on both sides of political spectrum. 458 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: I don't think this is necessarily the long term win 459 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: that you might think. Specifically in California, some of those districts, yes, 460 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: they've effectively taken away or taken the conservative constituency out 461 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: of some of the red districts and put them into 462 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: more reliable districts, but those don't those votes don't change, right. 463 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 1: All you've done is effectively narrow the gap just a 464 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: little bit more and put it in reach of conservatives 465 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: in California who want a voice. In other words, yeah, 466 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't go the right way this cycle, but 467 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: long term, what you've just done is effectively made race 468 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: is way more competitive for people who didn't feel like 469 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: they had a chance. And again, I know Texas is 470 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: doing the same thing on the conservative side. I don't 471 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: know that politically speaking, that's the best move. But bottom 472 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: line is the Libs are going all in on the 473 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: jerry mandering. They're pushing initiatives in Georgia as well as 474 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: a couple of other states in kind of reaction to 475 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: what's going on in Texas and California. But like I said, 476 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: long term, I'm not entirely sure that it is going 477 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: to be a good play for really either whatever side 478 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: is doing it in whatever respective state. Not exactly sure 479 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: if that's going to be the best pay here Another point, 480 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: next point. Female athletes hit back at weird in derogatory 481 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: comments about their appearance. Female international athletes, including a Wels 482 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: Welsh rugby player, a gymnast, a soccer player. They call 483 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: it footballer because his headline is from the BBC. He's 484 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: spoken to the BBC a by receiving weird in derogatory 485 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 1: comments criticizing their appearance, backlash has been received. Bottom line, 486 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: and I think the main point of this, and the 487 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: main idea as to why bringing this on makes sense, 488 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: is that a Women in Sports survey recently cited articles 489 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: revealing a decline in girls' aspirations to professional sports career 490 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: from thirty eight percent to twenty three percent. In other words, 491 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: the amount of women who want to compete in sports 492 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: is going down, to which I say, huh, why why 493 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: could why would that possibly be the case? Is it 494 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: because people are being mean about their appearances? Or is 495 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: it the fact that it's dangerous because dudes are playing? 496 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: I do how could I just email us tbtatpusay dot 497 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: com if you have any any reason to us to 498 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: believe why why could this possibly be happening? I am 499 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: just dumbfounded, you know, I I happen to believe that. 500 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: You know that. I'm not even email us tptatp sitting 501 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: up for you if you have any guesses as to 502 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: why women may not be wanting to participate in sports 503 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: at the level that they once were. And again, I 504 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: I just happened. There's no way that it's the dudes 505 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: that are beating up on the women that's the reason. 506 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: But I could just be I could be wrong. Let 507 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: us know if you think I'm wrong that that actually 508 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: is a huge variable in that. On to the next point, 509 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: influencer claims that Billy Eilish got him deported from the 510 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: US over a joke about her ice criticism. Remember when 511 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: Billie Eilish, the singer went up on the Grammys and 512 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: did this whole thing nobody's legal on stolen Land. I 513 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: was like, hey, you own a big house on stolen Land. 514 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: So this guy says, well, I'm going to move into 515 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 1: your house and he didn't. By the way, just for 516 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: the record, that's just an online comment pointing out the 517 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: fact that what she said was ridiculous. Anyway, Apparently this 518 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: guy was from Australia, and he says, writing in a 519 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: social media post, I think her legal team called DHS. Honestly, 520 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: the agents were super nice and laughed about it, but 521 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: there was nothing I could do. Then he said, you know, 522 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: maybe the evil leftis are still in charge of the bureaucracy. 523 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: But he effectively he was at Lax Airport, I guess, 524 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: and got the pained. I don't know if he actually 525 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 1: has been deported and sent out of the country, but 526 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: he believes that the Eilish's lawyers called eyes or called 527 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: immigration said hey, this guy's not here legally, get him out, 528 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: which is so hilariously ironic that Yeah, it's hard to 529 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: it's hard to bear unconfirmed whether or not that actually happened, 530 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: but that's what that's what he thinks happened. On to 531 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: the next point, the last point wrapping up, Obama clarifies 532 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: alien comments after telling podcasts that they are real. You know, 533 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: regardless of what this says, he said he was trying 534 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: to match the spirit of the Speed Round. I don't 535 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: happen to believe that to be I think that what 536 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: Barack Obama said was what he meant. This I believe 537 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: is cut twelve. This is what he said, and now 538 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: he's trying to backtrack. 539 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 3: Are aliens real? 540 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 4: They're real? But I haven't seen him, and and they're 541 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 4: not being kept in it fifty one. There's no underground 542 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 4: facility unless there's this ormous conspiracy and they hit it 543 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 4: from the President of the United States, What was the 544 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 4: first question you wanted answered when you became president? Where 545 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 4: are the aliens? 546 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 2: The aliens? 547 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: So there is form, President Barack Obama confirming beyond all 548 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: reasonable doubt that there are in fact aliens. And the 549 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: fact that he said, well, they're not being captain area 550 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: fifty one makes me think they're probably being captain area 551 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: fifty one. I think that confirms a lot more than 552 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: what President Obama thinks say. That's probably why he's trying 553 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: to backtrack. No no, no, no, no no no. I was 554 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: just participating in the spirit of the speed round by 555 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: saying something that we're all curious about. Oh that'll do 556 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: it for a wrapping up the point or what does 557 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: it get to the point? Appreciate you sticking around. Coming 558 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: up next, we've got another one of our fantastic segments 559 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: called official Business, where we go around the political world 560 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: to elected officials and bureaucrats alike and discuss what they 561 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: have said during Official bi Business. TPTATPSA dot com is 562 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: the email address. We'll be right back after the breaknek Away. 563 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,760 Speaker 2: I think what we identify is that in a rules 564 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 2: based order, hypocrisy is vulnerability, and so I think what 565 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 2: we are seeking is a return to a rules based 566 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 2: order that eliminates the hypocrisies around when too often in 567 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 2: the West we'd look the other way for inconvenient populations 568 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 2: to act out these paradoxes. 569 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: What's difficult about the paradoxes of Western minority groups is 570 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 1: that the paradoxes that exist within that paradox are much 571 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 1: more of a bureaucratic paradox than a paradox that unfortunately 572 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: is led to is kmmalist Harris like in this lady's 573 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: ear telling her what to say here, I'm not entirely 574 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: sure what that was. Interestingly enough, I watched it enough 575 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: times where I do know what she means, and she's 576 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: also wrong on that front. Two. But just get to 577 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: the point, which I realize is ironic for me to 578 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,360 Speaker 1: say to another person, which is why we have a 579 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: whole segment built out of get to the freaking point. 580 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: But also, congress woman, get the freaking point. All right, 581 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: it's time for one of my favorite things that we 582 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: have added to the show. When legislators and bureaucrats alike 583 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: speak with authority on a platform that they have been 584 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: given to by the people of this country, it is 585 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: official business. Starting off with official business, we have a 586 00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: dude in a dress. Producer Glenn is rolling his eyes 587 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: thinking that, dang it, now we got to take it 588 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: off of YouTube. But we have to talk about this. 589 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: This is Sarah McBride, who is a dude in address, 590 00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: also with a congressional vote for some reason, ironically discussing 591 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: trans people with a bunch of women. So well, I'll 592 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: save the iron the overwhelming irony till afterward. But I 593 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: want you to watch this clip. It's rather long, but 594 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: it's a lot of it worth discussing, which unfortunately probably 595 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: enough time to get to most of it. But this 596 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,240 Speaker 1: is cut thirteen. 597 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 5: There is no question in the United States that, after 598 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 5: decades of historic progress on gener equality writ large and specifically, 599 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 5: more recently on LGBTQ rights, that we are facing, as 600 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 5: you mentioned, a well organized, well funded, right wing regressive movement, 601 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 5: and they really have placed trans people at the center 602 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 5: of that effort. But we should be clear that the 603 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 5: consequences of this anti trans effort, not only out of 604 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 5: out of proximity, but out of intentionality, will include consequences 605 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 5: for women of all backgrounds, because at the end of 606 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 5: the day, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, and sexism are all rooted 607 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 5: in the same prejudice, the belief that one perception at 608 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 5: birth should dictate who you are, how you act, what 609 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 5: you do, who you love, and. 610 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 1: How you dress. 611 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 5: And it's why threats toward trans people are threats toward 612 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 5: all women. 613 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: Before I get into my actually what I think is 614 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: a very interesting take the one observation at birth. Fun fact, 615 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: your anatomy stays with you through the duration of your 616 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: life unless and for unless, of course, you get it 617 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,000 Speaker 1: chopped off or in even worse cases, your parents are 618 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,399 Speaker 1: blinded by woke ideology and chop it off for you. 619 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 1: That it's not just an observation at birth, the you 620 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: can observe it threat the duration of life. But here's 621 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: what I think is actually maybe a hot take, and 622 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: it may take a little bit longer than maybe won't 623 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: get to with the rest of this stuff, but now 624 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: we will. I actually think that this is a good thing. 625 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 1: Not in the sense of, like, I agree with what 626 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: this guy's saying, but in the sense of if libs 627 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,720 Speaker 1: are beholden to the strategy that the woke, crazy trans 628 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: people are doing, which is tying those two ideas together, 629 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: the ideas being, you know, women's rights or minority rights 630 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 1: in general, tying themselves hitching their wagon to that, I 631 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: think that bodes well for conservatives right. The left has 632 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: or needs to have an objective of separating the LGB 633 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: with the t q I A plus whatever. What the 634 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: crazy wokes, the trans advocates like dude, former dude, the 635 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: guy in address Sarah McBride, what they're doing is they're 636 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: trying to hitch their wagon to things that we do 637 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: agree on. We agree that, hey, your skin color shouldn't 638 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,400 Speaker 1: dictate the rights that you have. This is this country 639 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,720 Speaker 1: is created for all different types of people of all kinds. 640 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 1: We all agree on that. We agree on well, at 641 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: least we should agree that this country shouldn't be based 642 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,160 Speaker 1: on race. It should be a value set of an ideal. 643 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: We are founded by a creed, not by a racial makeup, 644 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: which is actually very unique in the course of human history. 645 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: Won't go down that rabbit hole at this time. But 646 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: because we agree that they try to manipulate it, the 647 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 1: trans rights people try to manipulate it in such a way. Okay, well, 648 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 1: this is all the same thing, right, women's rights, minority 649 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 1: rights are all the same as trans rights. No, they 650 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,879 Speaker 1: are freaking not. And it's actually a really clever way 651 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: of trying to tie things in together that the trans 652 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: people are trying to use to manipulate well all of 653 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: their lib friends, who are very very easily manipulated. And 654 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,440 Speaker 1: when I say I like that, it's because it makes 655 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: our arguments actually easier. It makes our arguments to go, hey, 656 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: right here, all of the woke racial stuff is tied 657 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: to the trans stuff by their own doing. Now again, 658 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: like I said, I think people should be equal, but 659 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: equity is a terrible thing. It's effectively communism. So if 660 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,280 Speaker 1: you're trying to force the same outcomes for different races, 661 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: it's just not going to happen. You get less freedom 662 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: and less prosperity. Both of those things decline. So when 663 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 1: they're trying to push things on a racial basis, but 664 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: then tying it to trans people, that just makes our 665 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: arguments easier to make. So I like it in the 666 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: sense not that I agree with anything that they said, 667 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: but I like it because it makes their arguments harder 668 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: to make. When you have the Alphabet community that goes 669 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: after the LGB, and that's aside from what you think 670 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: about the LGB right now, the TQIA two, spirit plus 671 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: whatever all being combined into one thing actually makes their 672 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: arguments harder. Dave Chappelle had a great stand up bit 673 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: where he effectively says, you know, the Alphabet community is 674 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: driving together in a car and the tea is sitting 675 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: in the backs, and I have to go to the bathroom, 676 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, all of the other Alphabet people 677 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: are like, you know, you're making this trip take way longer, 678 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 1: and you know, for that I approve, you know, because 679 00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 1: of my outlook on the world. Dang, that is all 680 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 1: the official bit. We will there is more official business 681 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: that we didn't play today that we will play tomorrow, uh, 682 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: because I thought that that point from McBride there congress 683 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 1: Men Congress six pickfride was worth the explaining just a 684 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,160 Speaker 1: little bit. But we'll get to that official business uh tomorrow. 685 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: Coming up after the break, a very very brief but 686 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: very very important update on America. It has no political weighing, 687 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: what wait, whatsoever, but it is, in my opinion, very 688 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: very important, and I believe it'll be very very important 689 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: to you as well as well as our male tbttps 690 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: dot com. If you have any emails dot commons concerns, 691 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,320 Speaker 1: criticisms of the show, we'll be right back after the 692 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:05,959 Speaker 1: breakdowt go away. 693 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 6: What laws were changed in the last twelve months that 694 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 6: made it so that we went from the most open 695 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 6: border in American history, hundreds of thousands of people coming 696 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,839 Speaker 6: to this country illegally every month to virtually zero. What 697 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 6: laws did we pass I want to get I want 698 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 6: you to give credit to Congress for acting to pass 699 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 6: these incredible laws that resulted in this decrease. 700 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,799 Speaker 4: No laws were passed, sir, nothing new. 701 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 6: Wait what, no laws were passed? 702 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,920 Speaker 1: No new laws were passed, So that's stand at Bernie Marino. 703 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: I love this type of thing. I'm a big fan 704 00:42:54,440 --> 00:43:00,839 Speaker 1: of exploiting the absurdities by simple rational questions. Not hey, 705 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: we're following law, which is true. If you're saying, hey, 706 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: we're just following the law, that is entirely true. But 707 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 1: I like the sarcastic, satirical take of Now. I want 708 00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,439 Speaker 1: to give credit to Congress for passing these brand new 709 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,839 Speaker 1: spank and clean laws that we didn't have before, and 710 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 1: you guys being able to enact that, and then forcing 711 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: the witness there, who I'm sure as a friendly to say, 712 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: no new laws actually got passed. Oh we mean, so 713 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 1: we're just enforcing the law from thirty years ago that 714 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: Libs agreed on. Yes, sir, that is that is the case, 715 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 1: all right, in the very very brief time we have here. 716 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: This is apropos of nothing. I just saw this headline 717 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: and I needed to bring it to you because I 718 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 1: do think wherever you live in this country, this will 719 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: impact your life, possibly even greatly, possibly something that you 720 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: do multiple times a year. If you're the certain kind 721 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: of person that does this sort of thing. I think 722 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 1: this will affect people everywhere for the better. Costco launched 723 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 1: a mobile app for ordering their custom cakes and deli trays, 724 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 1: easing customer woes. If you don't know this, if you're 725 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 1: you know, not a Costco member, in other words, anti American, 726 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: but I'm a Sam's Club member, and they're basically the 727 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: same thing. Wrong. Wrong. If you're a Costco member, you 728 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 1: know that in order to order a sheet cake or 729 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: a deli platter or whatever, you have to go into 730 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: the store and then fill out a paper and then 731 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: send it in and then it'll be ready, you know, 732 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,800 Speaker 1: whatever data is. You have to be physically in the store, 733 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,800 Speaker 1: which is a total antiquated way of thinking about things. 734 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 1: They're now rolling out the fact that you can order remotely. 735 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: There have been several people who have been like, yeah, well, 736 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 1: the closest Costco to me, they have the cheapest desserts, 737 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: it's the best, but they are forty five minutes away. 738 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: Don't want to try forty five minutes to order my 739 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,240 Speaker 1: cake and then two days later drive forty five minutes 740 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 1: back to Costco. This is a major announcement by in 741 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: my opinion, the best warehouse retailer. If you happen to disagree, 742 00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: if you happen to be a Sam's Club person, that's fine. 743 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 1: I guess we're big tent party. You can join us 744 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: in the conservative movement. But you're wrong. You're just wrong. 745 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,719 Speaker 1: Tvt ATVs dot com. You think ibrog. I'm actually I'm 746 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,399 Speaker 1: excited because generally stuff like this is when we get 747 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 1: the most to emails. We get like thirty emails saying 748 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: you idiot. Sam's Club is so much better. And I 749 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: appreciate and I tolerate all of you folks who send 750 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: those emails, even though unfortunately you're wrong. Our mailback segment 751 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,960 Speaker 1: will be coming up right after the break. If you'd 752 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 1: like to be included. TBT ATPZ dot com, don't go ahead, 753 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:46,160 Speaker 1: We'll be right back after this. 754 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 3: You're gonna go into that building an American and you're 755 00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,239 Speaker 3: gonna come out at Canadian. I'm gonna go in into 756 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 3: that building an American, and I'm going to come out 757 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 3: of a Canadian when I'm found. 758 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 1: Peter all right, big smiles everyone. How does it feel 759 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:16,800 Speaker 1: to be Canadian? It feels great. I feel like instantly changed, 760 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:17,239 Speaker 1: you know. 761 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,439 Speaker 3: On the drive home, I was letting everyone in front 762 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 3: of me, and then we went to go get lunch 763 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 3: and it. 764 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 4: Was completely crowded. 765 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: Sounds like I'll come back, and I just. 766 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 3: I've fully embraced being a Canadian already. 767 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:37,879 Speaker 1: So that's interesting, mostly because, especially here in California, I've 768 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: been told my entire life that being gay is not 769 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:46,759 Speaker 1: a choice. But clearly he could just sign up at 770 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: the whatever the Canadian I kid, I kid, I kid. 771 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 1: That's that's a bunch of libs. I am for that. 772 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,200 Speaker 1: By the way, if you are a lib who hates 773 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 1: this country and wants to move to Canada, let me 774 00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 1: know how I can ship into your GoF on me 775 00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,759 Speaker 1: account as long as you promise to leave and relinquish 776 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 1: your US citizenship and live in America's hat. I'll help 777 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: support that decision of yours for a multitude of reasons. 778 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,840 Speaker 1: But audios, which they don't say in Canada because they 779 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 1: don't have the crazy ramp at South America a illegal immigration. 780 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,839 Speaker 1: All right, get mail back, let's get to our let's 781 00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,520 Speaker 1: get before we go off the Canadian rails here Jim 782 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,759 Speaker 1: and Marlene on the topic of voting, So this had 783 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 1: to open up a new bank account. I needed a 784 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 1: birth certificate, a marriage license showing my new married name, 785 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: and a driver's license. You need three freaking forms of 786 00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 1: IDA to open a bank account. That's a absolutely what 787 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 1: you should need in order to vote. I think you 788 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 1: should prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you're able to 789 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 1: vote in this country. And if you can't prove it, 790 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 1: then yeah, I guess you don't want to vote very much. 791 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: That's not my problem. Good point in opening a bank account? 792 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: Amy says this what happened to the Minnesota fraud and 793 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: investigation went dead? Amy, I think it did not go 794 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 1: dead in reality. I think online people have moved to 795 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 1: different things. They've navigated around to different issues that people 796 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:18,280 Speaker 1: are talking about. But in reality, I think the Minnesota 797 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:22,680 Speaker 1: fraud investigation is still very very much alive, and I 798 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 1: think give it a little while, give it a couple months, 799 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,359 Speaker 1: and I can almost guarantee you the Trump administration is 800 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 1: not going to let that one go. I don't think 801 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 1: they should do this. I don't agree with holding off 802 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 1: announcements right before elections, But if I were to cynically 803 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 1: make a guess here, that's probably when you're gonna say, hey, 804 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: a couple billion dollars got stolen from you by these 805 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 1: people in charge. Also, best of luck in November. Make 806 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: sure you show your ID. I don't like that. But 807 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 1: also if I were to make a bet, I don't know. 808 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: Let's see. On the topic of the Olympics, Scott says, 809 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: anyone bad mouthing the US should be off the team. 810 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:10,880 Speaker 1: No whiny little b words. And he's talking about the 811 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: men as well. Uh, you know, yeah, that is one 812 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 1: of the things. There's so many different thoughts we can 813 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 1: expand to on this, Scott, I appreciate that. Here's what 814 00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 1: I'll say about this. The only time Olympic athletes are 815 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,839 Speaker 1: asked questions about the politics of their country as when 816 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,440 Speaker 1: the conservatives in the White House. There were two Olympics 817 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four when President Biden 818 00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 1: was in office, and did anybody ask, hey, how do 819 00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: you feel about the president's dementia? No? Nobody even was 820 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 1: asked the question. So, yeah, shut up and ski. That's 821 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: gonna say. Dribble, But it's Ski that's gonna do. If 822 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: I was here at at turning point tonight, see tomorrow, 823 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:57,600 Speaker 1: same time, same place. God bless America.
