Every single day Charlie was so instrumental not 176 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 16: just getting President Trump elected, but really this Maga genesis 177 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 16: in the next generation, in Gen Z and the next generation. 178 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 16: But the seeds that Charlie planted, we're seeing the fruits 179 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 16: of those, and I pray we continue to see the 180 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 16: fruits of those every day. And to your point, what 181 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 16: Charlie said is the only way it could have happened, 182 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 16: because to parse through every single one of these I 183 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 16: think of my friend Coy Griffin, who was there that day, 184 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 16: never went inside the building. He's cowboys for Trump. He 185 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 16: went up there at a megaphone and simply went up 186 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 16: on the steps to pray over the crowd. He got 187 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 16: on a megaphone, prayed over the crowd, and then he left. 188 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 16: He got stuck in solitary confinement for two weeks. He 189 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 16: wasn't able to see attorney, wasn't able to call a 190 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 16: family member, slept on a cold floor for praying on 191 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 16: a megaphone, and their story after story after story like that. 192 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 5: You mentioned trespassing. 193 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 16: That's the worst that some people did not even knowing 194 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 16: they were trespassing when it was a fence basically like this. 195 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 16: It was green, this is metal, It was plastic that 196 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 16: was taken down within minutes before I even arrived. We 197 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 16: marched from this location down to the house. When I 198 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 16: got there, there were no fences up. You had no 199 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 16: idea that there was any barricade that anyone had crossed through. 200 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 16: And so a lot of people entered that day that 201 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 16: space not even realizing that they were breaking the law 202 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 16: going into a place. Now, obviously we saw some of 203 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 16: the violence, we saw the attacks. The question is how 204 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 16: much of that was instigated. We're only getting We're only 205 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 16: getting the tip of the iceberg on how involved the 206 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 16: federal government was how many FBI agents were there, which 207 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 16: ones of those actually instigated anything. 208 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 5: How many ANTIFA and BLM members were there. 209 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 16: We know John Sullivan, we know many other BLM and 210 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 16: ANTIFA were there to instigate violence. 211 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 5: But the bottom line is we don't know. We still 212 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 5: know less than we know. 213 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 16: There's a lot we don't know, and the question is 214 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 16: will we ever get to the bottom of it. But 215 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 16: to the stories, it's just crazy. I mean, they weren't given. 216 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 16: Shane Jenkins, big dude, big burly guy. You look at him, 217 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 16: you think, man, that's a tough guy. When he talks 218 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 16: about just sitting in that cell. He was in there 219 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 16: for over a thousand days. There were months that he 220 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 16: went where he couldn't brush his teeth, he couldn't clip 221 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 16: his nails, he couldn't no haircuts, I mean, little simple 222 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 16: things like that, but just treated like animals. And you 223 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 16: compare the way that January six ers were treated compared 224 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 16: to BLM and Antifa, who were burning down our country 225 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 16: for four years, who were actually trying to destroy our 226 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 16: country from within, who professed that they want to destroy America, 227 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 16: they want to remake it and their their anarchist, communist vision. 228 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 5: When we're talking about January six ers. 229 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 16: We're talking about patriots that love this country, that want 230 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 16: to restore the values of this nation. So huge difference 231 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 16: between the people that were arrested and the way they 232 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 16: were treated from all of the real insurrectionists that got 233 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 16: away with it. Most of the guys in BLM that 234 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 16: were burning down their cities never even got charged. Most 235 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 16: of Antifa never even got charged. And that when you 236 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 16: look at it, it's the two tiers of justice spend. 237 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 14: A lot of those BLM rioters got settlements from the 238 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 14: cities that they that they helped burn down. 239 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 5: That's so crazy. 240 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 14: Yeah, So that's when you talk about an arco tyranny. 241 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 14: It's the law binding people that try and do things 242 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 14: the right way that the regime will target and harass. 243 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 14: And it's the rioters, the law breakers, the criminals, the 244 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 14: illegal immigrants that get free chast, they get money, they 245 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 14: get subsidies, and then they get settlements from blue states 246 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 14: and blue cities. You know what's an interesting story. You 247 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 14: can throw this up to twelve reporting from Paul Sperry. 248 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 14: New records show US Capitol Police Captain Michael Byrd, who 249 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 14: fatally shot unarmed j six protester Ashley bad of It 250 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 14: without warning, has been running an unaccredited daycare center with 251 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 14: wife Kolesca from their Maryland homes. 252 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: Now two thousand and eight record. 253 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 14: Yeah, that Maryland has received over one hundred and ninety 254 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 14: million dollars in HHS daycare funds. 255 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: Well, if it's unaccredited, is the idea that they're not right? Apparently? 256 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 15: I don't think I'm ever gonna get mad at someone 257 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 15: for running an question. 258 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 14: He submerged, you can throw up to eleven. It's just 259 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 14: funny how these different storylines bend seem to overlap. So 260 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 14: this is from town Hall. On January sixth, Questions emerge 261 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 14: about Michael Bird's taxpayer funded Maryland daycare that's out of 262 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 14: town Hall. 263 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: So, well, think about it's just it's just one of 264 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: those funny, funny overlaps. 265 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 16: Yeah, think about the way Michael Bird was treated well 266 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 16: while BLM was raging across America. He shoots without warning, 267 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 16: as you mentioned, an unarmed civilian, who a veteran of 268 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 16: our country, who was simply there, you know again, wanting 269 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 16: answers to a stolen election, shoots and kills her, no accountability. 270 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 16: In fact, he gets promoted and and you look at 271 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 16: how officers were treated, obviously George Floyd and Chauvin and 272 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 16: that whole charade, how they were treated, but the difference 273 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 16: between the left and the activist response to it. The 274 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 16: bird became a hero to the left for murdering Ashley Babbitt, 275 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 16: while other cops who actually were doing their jobs against 276 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 16: real criminals were demonized and ostracides and lost their jobs 277 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 16: many times. 278 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 5: It is it's again. It all goes back to that 279 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 5: double standard. 280 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 16: But then you also compare that now to what we're 281 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 16: finally finding out. I mean, how did it take this 282 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 16: long to get some answers. Shout out to Nick Shirley 283 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 16: in the work he did, but to get some answers 284 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 16: on this fraud and shout out to Doge. The only 285 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 16: real reason that we have most of these all of 286 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 16: this fraught information about all these fake daycares. 287 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: I got it is because of Doge. 288 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 14: I got a wrap, Ben.

Very proud of the real America's Voice team 293 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 14: being on the ground with Ben Burke one, putting the 294 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 14: resource on the ground to highlight some of the stories 295 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 14: of and listen, whatever you think about January sixth, whatever 296 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 14: you think about it, because yeah, we shouldn't have been, 297 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 14: you know, going inside a capitol. But I remember, by 298 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 14: the way, Blake, I remember doing that show live that 299 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 14: morning with Charlie from Phoenix and being like, please get out, 300 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 14: please get out, because we knew what they were gonna do, 301 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 14: they were gonna use this against. 302 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: This It was so obviously bad. It was so yes. 303 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 14: But regardless of what you know, what you think about 304 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 14: the particulars on that day, these were a lot of 305 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 14: really amazing patriots that got caught up in a drag 306 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 14: net and a man hunt. As you said in the 307 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 14: first segment, that should have been reserved for the likes 308 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 14: of Nicholas Maduro. The way that they came in, guns ablazing, 309 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 14: raiding these people's homes was an absolute travesty and a mistrial, 310 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 14: a miscarriage of justice. And I'm glad that we're celebrating 311 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 14: their stories because so many of these people had their 312 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 14: lives absolutely ruined for basically a trespassing charge. Okay, let 313 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 14: me first tell you about our friends over at y Refi. 314 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 14: Private student loan debt in the United States totals about 315 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 14: three hundred billion dollars, and about forty five billion of 316 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 14: that is labeled as distressed. Why refly refinance is distressed 317 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 14: and default of private student loans that others won't touch. Now, 318 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 14: these are distinct from different than the federal student loans, 319 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 14: so don't confuse them. So these are if you have 320 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 14: private student loans, which is the way we should have 321 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 14: been doing college and university loans from the beginning. It 322 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 14: really got screwed up when the federal government got involved. 323 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: So if you have private student loan debt, they can 324 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: help you. 325 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 14: They provide you with a custom loan payment based on 326 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 14: your ability to pay.

Yes, so, but she was 375 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 15: the opposition leader, so she was a common figurehead for 376 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 15: the Venezuelan opposition. And then right after they abducted Maduro, 377 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 15: it seemed plausible that they would say, okay, installed the 378 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 15: opposition leader because we'd been endorsed the Venezuela position. 379 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 14: We said, they actually went an election and she got 380 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 14: the Nobel Peace Prize and. 381 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,120 Speaker 1: The assumption it was assumption. 382 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 15: And then she won the Nobel Peace Prize back in 383 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 15: October instead of Trump, and Trump was just very publicly 384 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 15: campaigning for that award in an interesting way, and they 385 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 15: awarded it to her instead. She actually did even the 386 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 15: day she received it, she dedicated it to Trump. Yes, uh, 387 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 15: but apparently they believed she should have refused it. 388 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 14: Now, this was a rumor. It's unsubstantiated, but it was stated. 389 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: It was reported by the Washington So so they which 390 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: we know, never lies about anything. The Washington Post has So. 391 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 14: The rumor has been going around that Trump soured on 392 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 14: Machado because she didn't just decline the award and offer 393 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 14: it to Trump. 394 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: I thought that that sounded silly. Okay. 395 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 14: So there's a big piece in the New York Times 396 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 14: that is detailing why the Trump administration decided not to 397 00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 14: back Marina Maria Karina Machado as Maduro's replacement, and it 398 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 14: has nothing to do with her winning the Nobel Peace Prize. 399 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 14: So I don't know if you want to take this 400 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 14: or if. 401 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 15: You sure, Well, what's probably the most interesting about it 402 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 15: is it seems honestly the first bullet point that of 403 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 15: it is the most interesting, which is apparently Marco Rubio 404 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 15: talked to President Trump out of doing it. He said, 405 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 15: I'll quote from Ryan Savegia's summary, if the United States 406 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 15: tried to back the opposition, it could further destabilize the 407 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,959 Speaker 15: country and require a more robust military presence inside of it, 408 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 15: and a classified CAA intelligence analysis reflected that view. 409 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: They were also frustrated that they believed. 410 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 15: Her assessments of the situation in Venezuela were inaccurate, that 411 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 15: she underestimated Maduro's strength, that they were skeptical of. 412 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: Her ability to seize power. 413 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 15: Apparently, Rick Grinnell would go and have meetings and he 414 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 15: was just very annoyed. 415 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 14: With her and tried to have an in person meeting 416 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 14: us try to guarantee her security, and apparently she refused 417 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 14: to do that or it somehow didn't materialize despite those 418 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 14: promises and those assurances of security. 419 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: But also. 420 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 14: They asked for a list of political prisoners. Apparently that 421 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 14: didn't happen. Over time, the relationship deteriorated, according to people 422 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 14: briefed on the interactions Machado and her team ignored the 423 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 14: request for a list of political prisoners. So there was 424 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 14: also this issue that Machado had been taking a pretty 425 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 14: forceful stance asking for more sanctions against Maduro backed businesses 426 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 14: and products. 427 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: The whole thing is she does and that alienated her 428 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: from the business class. 429 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 15: Well, she comes off as just generally being very uncompromising, 430 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 15: So it has like, for example, Mashada was upset that 431 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 15: Rick Grannell did not denounce Maduro as illegitimate, when Grenell 432 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 15: believed that that would undercut any diplomatic thing. Was no 433 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 15: negotiations with Maduro's government. They were still trying to have 434 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 15: a conversation, so we were open to a negotiated exit 435 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 15: for Maduro, and she seemed to kind of have the 436 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 15: attitude of Maduro just has to quit, and so it 437 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 15: just seems like they got very fed up with her, which 438 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 15: is a very good adventure in third world politics. 439 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 14: I suppose it sounds like she basically there's reason to 440 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 14: believe that she had alienated many members of Venezuela's like 441 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 14: sort of elite right business class, the civil society. 442 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 15: Our position is that she's the valid opposition leader and 443 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 15: that her proxy won the election, so you kind of 444 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 15: you believe in elections or you don't as well. And 445 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 15: I think the opening point is one of the most interesting, 446 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 15: which is Rubio arguing if we back the opposition, it 447 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 15: could destabilize the country. Reading between the lines there, that 448 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 15: kind of suggests there's there's more support for the regime. 449 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 15: Might have otherwise thought. 450 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 14: I mean, even if it's seventy thirty, you don't want 451 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 14: to inflame the thirty. I mean, that's a landslide by 452 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 14: any measure. But you want to bring the entire country 453 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 14: together as much as possible, So you want to instead 454 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 14: of picking favorites, picking sides, you want to establish a 455 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 14: transition that makes a little bit more diplomatic sense. We 456 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 14: got to hit another break. Senator Ron Johnson comes up next. 457 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. 458 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 17: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm 459 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 17: Terrence Bates. Today marks the five year anniversary of the 460 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 17: J six demonstration at the US Capitol.

Real America's Voice Congressional 463 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 17: correspondent Minnie Ray Harmony joining us right now from a 464 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 17: lot White House with the very latest. 465 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 9: So Benny, first of all, get afternoon. 466 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 17: I'm curious what the atmosphere is like between the White 467 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 17: House and the US Capitol on this day. 468 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 18: Yeah, good afternoon, Terrence. So this morning President Trump he 469 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 18: departed to go speak with House GOP at the Kennedy Center. 470 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 18: We have not heard a lot of word from the 471 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 18: Trump administration in regards to this from imborants this five 472 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 18: year anniversary of January sixth. But I will say on 473 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 18: the congressional side, there are many things happening. Many House 474 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 18: Democrats are holding different hearings to just go after the 475 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 18: Republicans and the administration for January sixth. And another thing 476 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 18: that I find very interesting, Terrence, is the January sixth 477 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 18: Select Committee that was chaired by Bnny Thompson of the House. 478 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 18: They ended up this was after January sixth. They put 479 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 18: together this committee to try to find wrongdoing from the 480 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 18: Trump administration. And I just want to point out to 481 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 18: our viewers that they found nothing. There was no indictments, 482 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 18: there was no criminal charges brought because of that Select Committee. 483 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 18: And honestly, this whole January sixth talking point was truly 484 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 18: created by the Democrats to try to make the Republicans 485 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 18: look bad, and that's I think that's what a lot 486 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 18: of people hear in the Admin believe as well, you. 487 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 17: Know, And a lot of the conversation is revolved around 488 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 17: narrative versus reality and what actually happened. And it seemed 489 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 17: that that's also part of the ongoing conversation getting to 490 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 17: the bottom of what actually happened. 491 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 492 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 18: Absolutely, And I will say the press members that are 493 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 18: just right here inside the briefing room, there has been 494 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 18: a little bit of conversation. I will say, I think 495 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 18: I believe it was the Washington Post. I heard a 496 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 18: few reporters talking wondering about what this march is going 497 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 18: to look like, if Marjorie Taylor Green will show up, 498 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 18: and just some of the things that could happen today 499 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 18: that we're not sure of. So this march is going 500 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 18: to be incredible, and I think honoring j six Ers 501 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 18: is truly incredible. And I'm glad Real America's. 502 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: Voice does that. 503 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 9: Absolutely. 504 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 17: Any Ray Harmony reporting from the White House will also 505 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 17: have live coverage from the march here in just a 506 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 17: little while. Stay tuned to Real America's Voice. 507 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 13: This movement will not be silenced you're listening to the 508 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 13: Charlie Kirk show. 509 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 19: That was a game plan, open up the borders, flood 510 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 19: blue states with more people would be counting the census, 511 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 19: that gives them more members of Congress, make them more 512 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 19: dependent on government, that grows government, that gives them greater power. Again, 513 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 19: that is what the Democrat Party is all about. 514 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 9: Power Again. 515 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 19: The shutdown wasn't about literally the enhanced sub so he 516 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 19: was about making sure that President Trump has no success. 517 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 19: They want They're happy to take anybody hostage, whatever the 518 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 19: claudal damage, bad economy, so that they can win in 519 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 19: November and retain power. 520 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: Democrats want power. 521 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 14: They want to rule over the ashes, and they don't 522 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 14: care how they get it. That was the point made 523 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 14: by the great Senator Ron Johnson from the state of Wisconsin. 524 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 14: He joins us now, Senator, welcome back to the show. 525 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 14: It's great to see you. I happen to be on 526 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 14: that same show coming on after you, and I was 527 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 14: watching the program you were with Charlie Hurd. I was 528 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 14: on a few segments later and I was watching you, 529 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 14: going like he's absolutely right, and I text your team. 530 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 14: I was like, I got to get them on to 531 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 14: talk about this. Because what we're seeing in so many 532 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 14: of these blue states and with the Somali fraud ring 533 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 14: is you see that the tentacles of flooding the world 534 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 14: with Third worlders and illegal immigrants, and we're seeing now 535 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 14: that this is not just fraud, this could have voting implications. 536 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 14: You mentioned the census, maybe build out that point of 537 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 14: how what this scheme for power is really all about. 538 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 9: Well, happy to year guys. 539 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. 540 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 19: My concern about what's been uncovered in Minnesota with the 541 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 19: you know, Somali childcare fraud and medicaid fraud that type 542 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 19: of thing is that people will say, Okay, well we 543 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 19: found it. That's the problem. It's it's literally just a 544 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 19: tip of the iceberg. These programs have been designed to 545 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 19: be abused, to be difficult to really investigate and convict 546 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 19: people based on fraud. But the bottom line, you know, 547 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 19: Democrats have always just sought power to conservatives. It makes 548 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 19: no sense. I mean, I've got enough dealing with my 549 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 19: own life. I mean, why don't want to control somebody 550 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 19: else's life. But that's what democrats want to do. That 551 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 19: they want to grow government so they can have the 552 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 19: power to control the people's lives and in order to 553 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 19: grow government. They've created all these programs that people sign 554 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 19: up for. They daisy chain them, so you sign up 555 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 19: for one, you qualify for. 556 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 9: Another or another another. 557 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 19: They open the borders during Obama and then again during 558 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 19: Biden to allow people to flood in this country. Very 559 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 19: few people really understand that even illegal immigrants get counted 560 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 19: in the census. So when you counted the census, then 561 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 19: they basically reapportion the congressional seats. Those states, the sanctuary 562 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 19: states that encourage the illegal immigrants to flood to their states, 563 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 19: they get more members of Congress. 564 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 9: That means they've got more votes. 565 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 19: And when you've got Congress as evenly divided as we are, 566 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 19: one of two seats may make the difference between having 567 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 19: Democrats in total control of government like they were when 568 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 19: they passed or Obamacare to carry out some other massive 569 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 19: communist and socialist type of program that, as we're seeing 570 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 19: with Obamacare, is utterly failed. 571 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 9: But it was designed to fail. So again that's the 572 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 9: whole point. 573 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 19: All these programs are designed to grow government, to make 574 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 19: more people dependent on government, so they've got the power 575 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 19: that people are dependent on voting them back into office. 576 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 9: It's sick to conservative. 577 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 19: It makes no sense whatsoever, but that's exactly what democrats are. 578 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 9: That's what they're all about. 579 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 14: Yeah, well, I couldn't help hear that you were echoing 580 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 14: some of the sentiments from the great Stephen Miller play 581 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 14: cut two ten. 582 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: This was not a loophole. 583 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 8: The bodym Administration Secretary of Homeland Security Allehandra Majorkis devised 584 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 8: a scheme to fly illegal aliens into the country and 585 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 8: then to escort them in mass across the board by 586 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 8: the millions, and to give them something known as parole, 587 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 8: which gives them a work permit, which gives them a 588 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 8: which gives them a Social Security number, which gives them 589 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 8: access to the voting This was the plan all along 590 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 8: to get them here illegally so they can get free 591 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 8: government benefits, get hooked to welfare, and be able to 592 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 8: participate in American elections. 593 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 14: And one more clip here for you, Senator. This is 594 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 14: from Nick Shirley and David. We had Nick Shirley on 595 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 14: the show. We don't know David's last name, but he's 596 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 14: a patriot in Minnesota that helped uncover this massive viral story. 597 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 14: And now they're talking about how these Somali immigrants are 598 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 14: engaging potentially. I mean, I think it's fairly certain in 599 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 14: voter fraud play cut two nineteen, and. 600 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 9: They're all Somali. 601 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 20: You're talking probably one hundred thousand or more people, and 602 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,479 Speaker 20: they're all living rent free. They're driving a vehicle that 603 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 20: you paid for, they're eating food that you paid for. 604 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 20: Everything they do is something you paid for. 605 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 15: And for instance, now entire block, well, then go and 606 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 15: vote for wall specific candidate. 607 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 20: They'll have one person go there and collect all the 608 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 20: ballots and nobody tracks. They could say they have nine 609 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 20: people living in an apartment, They're going to send them 610 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 20: nine ballots, and then they have someone who comes along 611 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 20: collects all the ballots. 612 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: So the scheme, the jig is up here. Yea, even 613 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: when it's not that bad. 614 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 15: I remember accounts like so a lot of them don't 615 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 15: speak English. So if you can't speak English, you're allowed 616 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 15: to have an interpreter in the booth. And there's tons 617 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 15: of accounts where you bring in everyone all at once, 618 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 15: and they have the same guy going like that's our guy, 619 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 15: that's our guy, that's our guy. 620 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: That's a guy. 621 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 15: Yeah, really really making you know, really displaying the sanctity 622 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 15: of the secret. 623 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 14: Ballot yeah, yeah, it's so exactly. I mean, it seems 624 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 14: like the jig is up. We pay these people to 625 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 14: come here, we settle them, we give them free money, 626 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 14: they loot the system, commit fraud, and then they vote Democrat. 627 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 14: The question is what do you do about it now? 628 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 19: Senator, Well, the problem is you've got about half the 629 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 19: country that votes Democrat, and they have no problem with this. 630 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 19: They also want to get their guys and gals into office, 631 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 19: so they just look the other other way. My concerned 632 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 19: about only focusing on what's happening in Minnesota, and I'm 633 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,479 Speaker 19: happy to do that. We have to use that as 634 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 19: a springboard to investigate all the fraud is. You know, 635 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 19: I'm older than you guys. I live through the development 636 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 19: of the you know, the Big State, the War on poverty, 637 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 19: which is utterly failed. But what it did do is 638 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 19: grew government. Back then, when I grew up, you know, 639 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 19: my dad worked, my mom stayed at home. 640 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 9: We weren't very wealthy, but we had a great life. 641 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 19: You know, parents of faith, they loved their kids, supportive homes, 642 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 19: but that was the norm. 643 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 9: You didn't need to earn her families. 644 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 19: Nowadays you can't really survive that way and what's really 645 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 19: tragic is the individuals that do work the tail off, 646 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 19: you know, making seventy eighty ninety thousand bucks a year 647 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 19: in a place like Wisconsin, paying taxes, carrying the load 648 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 19: for the people who then do videos on social media 649 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 19: taunting the hard workers saying, look all these bets. If 650 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 19: it's I'm getting, they'll take how much money I've got 651 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 19: on my EBT card? Thank you for funding my lifestyle? 652 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 19: Is it is just galling And you take a look 653 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 19: at some of the work by people like farm Center 654 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 19: Phil Graham that talks about on average people in the 655 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 19: way you benefiting from the wealth fair state, not get 656 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 19: down about fifty seven thousand dollars a year tax free 657 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 19: benefits consider their depth. They don't have to work, which 658 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 19: is why I've got about twenty percent of the adult 659 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 19: male work of population out of the workforce permanently. 660 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 9: So they don't have to. 661 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 19: We pay them not to work. We now pay for 662 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 19: their healthcare and the Medicaid expansion. The Obamacare expansion and 663 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 19: Medicaid is crowding out disabled children from providers because it's 664 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 19: more lucrative to get reimbursed nine dollars to one dollar 665 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 19: for a single adult so again, this has been designed. 666 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 19: Obamacare was designed to make people dependent on government for 667 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 19: the healthcare, so it could be abused, you know, provider 668 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 19: tax I mean. 669 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 9: I could go on and on and on. This is 670 00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 9: by design. 671 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 19: This exactly what the Democrat Party set out to do, 672 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 19: and it's worked marvelously well for them. 673 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 9: It's terrible for America. 674 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 14: So is the issue Senator in this block Grant the way, 675 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 14: it's sort of like the federal government's giving money to 676 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 14: a state like Minnesota or Wisconsin or wherever, Ohio, and 677 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 14: then the state is then entrusted with policing the system. 678 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 14: So it but if you get a state like Minnesota 679 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 14: where the Democrat politicians are incentivized, especially with a community 680 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 14: that votes in blocks, like the Somali community, they're incentivized 681 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 14: to then turn the other cheek, to turn a blind 682 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 14: eye to the fraud right in front of them. Is 683 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 14: that the problem with the system or is it run 684 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 14: deeper than that? 685 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 19: The overall problem is just the massive amount of money 686 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 19: we spend. Now, JO issues an improper payment report since 687 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 19: two thousand and three. Since that point in time, they've 688 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 19: logged about two point eight trillion dollars of improper payments. 689 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 19: Now that's a very imprecise term. That also is probably 690 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 19: just the tip of the iceberg. So yeah, I mean, 691 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 19: the federal government is the easiest entity to fleece, and 692 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 19: so it gets fleeced all the time. And I keep 693 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 19: pointing out, you know, the somalies, they're relatively new this country. 694 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 19: They're amateurs relative to the entrench interest, you know, the 695 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 19: military destri complex. I mean, I can tell you a 696 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 19: story after a story of small businesses who create a 697 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 19: product for the defense industry sold at pennies on the 698 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 19: dollar versus what the big contractor bought them and then 699 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 19: started charging the Defense Department for. So again, we get 700 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 19: fleeced across the board on every in every program of government. 701 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 19: So the solution is you have to reduce the size, 702 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 19: scope and cost government. But that's not the path we're on. 703 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 19: And regrettably, you know, I was one of the big 704 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 19: holdouts on the Reconciliation bill because I was imploring, I 705 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 19: was begging the administration of my colleagues, you guys, we 706 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 19: have to return to a reasonable pre pandemic global spending. 707 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 9: This is absurdity. 708 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 19: We went from four point four trillion to over seven 709 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 19: trillion dollars. We have to return to a reasonable baseline. 710 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 19: But you know, doing those types of spending reductions, that 711 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 19: kind of constraint, it's not polically popular. It's often set 712 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 19: here in Washington. See show me a member of Congress 713 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 19: whoever lost because they spent too much money. You can't. 714 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 19: And that's until the public, until the public demands it. 715 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 19: And that's the beauty of the Nick Shirley video is 716 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 19: the working people this country, and the question is are 717 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 19: there enough of them? They've seen that that are properly 718 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 19: outraged by how they are getting screwed, how they're being. 719 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 9: Taken advantage of. 720 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 19: These people then go on social media and taunt them 721 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 19: for giving this lifestyle where they don't have to work. 722 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 9: You work your tail, if you pay. 723 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 19: The taxes, and I'll live in I'll live in the 724 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 19: lap of luxury, off off of the benefits you provide me. 725 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 9: Are there enough for Americans? 726 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 19: Have we already crossed that rubicon where there are too 727 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 19: many people going to vote themselves benefits, vote for Democrats, 728 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 19: and this democracy, this republic is over. That's the sixty 729 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 19: four thousand dollars question. I can't answer it. 730 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: Well, it's terrifying fo the road that you're presenting. 731 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 14: It's something Blake and I argue about off the air 732 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 14: all the time. Are there is there enough virtue left 733 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 14: in the people? You know, we often say that you 734 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 14: get the leaders that you deserve. And you know, Charlie's 735 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 14: message was always like be a type of person worthy 736 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 14: of great leadership. 737 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: It starts individually. Are there enough good people left? Right? 738 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 7: And that? 739 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: And that is the question. 740 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 14: The other question, though, Senator, is you know, how do 741 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 14: we reform our elections so that you know, Somali one 742 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 14: Somali can collect eight different ballots, nobody checks it, just 743 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 14: hands them all in and that's you know, Trump was 744 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 14: mentioning it this morning with in front of the House, 745 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 14: GOP guys, the Save Act play cut two twenty. 746 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 7: You want to have voter ID, you order to insist 747 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 7: on it. You order to insist on it. The only 748 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 7: reason somebody doesn't want that is because they want to cheat, 749 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 7: and you would have passed the Safe Act or whatever 750 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:52,439 Speaker 7: you're going. 751 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 5: To call is it. 752 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,879 Speaker 14: I mean, so it's getting mentioned again, Senator, Is there 753 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 14: any hope of this? Is there any political will or 754 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,000 Speaker 14: do we have the votes? 755 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:02,880 Speaker 9: One of the. 756 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 19: Reasons I reluctantly again I think the philibusterers prevent us 757 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 19: from being a socialist nation for decades. But Democrats they're 758 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 19: gonna over, They're gonna get rid of the philibusters. 759 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 9: So we better beat him to the punch and to 760 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 9: do it. 761 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 19: So we actually passed pieces of legislation like to Save 762 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 19: Act some overall. 763 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 9: Federal controls and the controls are out put in. 764 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,200 Speaker 19: Place are the same thing as our State Department advises 765 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 19: other nations to hold free and fairy elections. 766 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 9: We don't follow all on advice. 767 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,439 Speaker 14: Senator, could I keep you for another segment here, because yeah, 768 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 14: we've got a lot left to discuss that we're coming 769 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 14: up against a break here. We'll be right back more 770 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 14: with Senator Ron Johnson when we return. All right, welcome 771 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 14: back to Charlie Kirkshow we continue with Senator Ron Johnson 772 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 14: here on the stream in Real America's voice and podcasting. 773 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 14: Senator Ron Johnson, you brought up you opened a huge 774 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 14: can of worms right before the break, and I. 775 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 1: Had to keep you there. 776 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 14: But you said something that Blake and I have been 777 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 14: having ongoing debates about the filibuster. I am still on 778 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 14: the fence because I don't believe with Murkowski and Susan 779 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 14: Collins and Mitch McConnell. Right now that we even have 780 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 14: the votes to do much and anything good, Rampaul is 781 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 14: always a wild card. Maybe you get fifty plus one 782 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 14: on some of these. 783 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 15: The concern is do we eliminate the filibuster and then 784 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 15: we're not able to pass anything other than the most 785 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 15: you know, Oh, we avoid another government shutdown, and then 786 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 15: Democrats take power and it's just that much easier for 787 00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,280 Speaker 15: them to tee off on. They're much more explicit, ambitious agenda, 788 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 15: national abortion, national you know, DC statehood, Puerto Rico statehood, 789 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 15: a lot of stuff that they've talked about, packing the courts. 790 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 19: Well, first of all, they're going to do that when 791 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 19: they regain power. They purged the two senators that prevented 792 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 19: that last time. Again it's unfortunately they don't respect to 793 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 19: the minority rights in the Senate. Uh So, the first 794 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 19: step would be to lay out the powerful agenda that 795 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 19: we could pass, and I will take presidential leadership. And 796 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 19: I'm not talking about a laundry lip list of you know, 797 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,879 Speaker 19: three or four dozen items. I'm talking about the three 798 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 19: or four or five things that we must do, starting 799 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 19: with restoring dry elections. And that's that's your Democrats use COVID, 800 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 19: They exploited it. They complete contrary to the Baker Carter 801 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 19: Bipartisan Commission said that appstein balloting is probably the greatest 802 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,280 Speaker 19: threat to election integrity. 803 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 9: Correct, They you know, double the number of appstee ballots. 804 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:35,800 Speaker 9: They have mail in balloting. 805 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,439 Speaker 19: Which is why I think Biden, if he actually got 806 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 19: the eighty million votes for. 807 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 9: Whatever he got me, it's a joke. 808 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 19: So again, we've got we have to restore integrityory elections 809 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 19: or or this this thing's over because the Democrats will cheat. 810 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,840 Speaker 9: They're designing the system to cheat. Uh, and they'll cheat. 811 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I totally agree, you know. 812 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 14: So my question, so, my big white whale is the voting, 813 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 14: voting integrity, voter voter, I d But it's also immigration. 814 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,959 Speaker 14: And I don't believe that we have the political will 815 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 14: or the motivation within either the House or the Senate 816 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 14: to get real immigration work done. And I mean, listen, 817 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 14: I'm in favor of a net zero immigration moratorium. 818 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:16,400 Speaker 1: I get it. 819 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:20,280 Speaker 14: Not everybody's on that wavelength with me, but we cannot 820 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 14: be flooding our country. It's not just illegal immigrants, Senator, 821 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,440 Speaker 14: there is one point two million green cards to legals, 822 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 14: family reunification, chain migration, visa lottery, diversity lottery, all this 823 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,759 Speaker 14: stuff's gotta go. I mean, we don't need it. We 824 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 14: got the AI Revolution nipping at our heels. We're not 825 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 14: gonna need a lot of these jobs, robotics, even for 826 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,359 Speaker 14: things like farming and different industries that have typically been 827 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 14: the ones that are loudest in the room trying to 828 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 14: get more immigrants into the country. We were watching the 829 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 14: eraser of American culture before our eyes, and you think 830 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 14: about how many babies different immigrants groups are having compared 831 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 14: to native born Americans. This thing is a ticking time 832 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 14: bomb and we're gonna lose the country if we don't 833 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 14: get that. But we don't have it. So if I'm 834 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,399 Speaker 14: going to do filibuster, nuke the Philiberts, that's what I want. 835 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,240 Speaker 14: I want those two things. I don't know your reaction 836 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 14: to that, and if there's anything else on your laundry 837 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 14: list that you think we need to get done, well. 838 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,360 Speaker 19: The major thing Democrats exploited in our immigration law was 839 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 19: credible fear, the incredibly low standard versus the standard for 840 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 19: actual asylum, which is kind of. 841 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:20,839 Speaker 9: Hard to prove. 842 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,879 Speaker 19: And so we've got to get that initial hurdle much 843 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 19: closer to the general asylum standard. That should be a 844 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 19: reasonably easy fix, not really complex legislatively. But again, you 845 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 19: start with these are the things that have to be done, 846 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 19: make sure that we've got the votes to do it. 847 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 19: I want't dow this philibuster until we have that done. 848 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 7: Now. 849 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 19: Short of that, and Mike Lee's the champion of this, 850 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,280 Speaker 19: we could also stay here in town, stay in legislative 851 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 19: a session and do a talking philibuster. 852 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 9: And you really need to talk to Mike Lee. How 853 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 9: you do that? 854 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: We had him on Yeah, I like that idea, I 855 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: actually like So. 856 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 19: We actually discussed that this morning, myself and Rick Scott 857 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,440 Speaker 19: and Mike Lee's we need to start talking to our 858 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 19: colleagues about that, because right now you don't have the 859 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,919 Speaker 19: votes for limiting the filbuster. So that's just true. But yeah, 860 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,760 Speaker 19: I think we need to express our colleagues and the Republican 861 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 19: Conference go okay. Short of that, there are things we 862 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 19: have to do, and we talked to actually starting. 863 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 9: About saving with start with the Save Act. 864 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 19: Let's take that basic step to restore that level of 865 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 19: intager And again, I don't want to take over elections. 866 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 9: That's a slippery slow. 867 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 19: But there have to be some basic federal standards for 868 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 19: elections that states have to follow so that we have 869 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 19: free and fair elections. 870 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 9: That you know don't produce illegitimate votes. 871 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:36,319 Speaker 1: Well, God bless you for that. 872 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 14: I endure Senator Lees because that would be I mean, 873 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 14: the question is Thune at that point? It would you know, 874 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 14: Senator Thune be on board with changing the rules and 875 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,839 Speaker 14: make people actually sit and stand on the Senate floor 876 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 14: and argue until they lose. 877 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 1: Lose team, I don't know you would know better. Is 878 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: there any appetite from Senator Thune. 879 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 19: Well, we've got to sell it. And I come from 880 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 19: a manufacturing background. So what I've suggests as we need 881 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 19: to put the Senate when we do that, on a 882 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 19: continuous shift, do a scale down staff. I mean, I 883 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 19: don't want abuse that staff, but I mean it's pretty easy. 884 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 19: You know, you put three shifts, people come in eight 885 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 19: hour shifts. You know, we've got to be around available. 886 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 19: Don't have to be on the floor, but we just 887 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,880 Speaker 19: have to be available in case there's a quorum call 888 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 19: or whatever. 889 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 9: So it's entirely doable. You just have to have the 890 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 9: will to do it. I always drove my kids, not sustain. 891 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 2: No. 892 00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 9: Three courters of the word can't is can. It just 893 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,239 Speaker 9: requires you will publish again. 894 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 14: I can imagine big frustrated you is your child if 895 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 14: you kept hitting me with that one. But yes, absolutely, 896 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 14: I totally agree. We just you just need to have 897 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 14: the political will and I just you know, I hope 898 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,680 Speaker 14: for the best froom, Senator Thoon, I just I don't 899 00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,839 Speaker 14: hold my breath unfortunately. I want to get to one 900 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 14: other topic here really quick. Yesterday the President announced that 901 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 14: we are is a big win for Maha, going from 902 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 14: seventy two jabs for children, and they're moving it down 903 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 14: more in alignment with European some of the other industrialized nations. 904 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 1: Eleven injections. What do you make of this? 905 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 14: You were huge when it came to fighting the COVID jabs, 906 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,760 Speaker 14: and so I wanted to get your comments on that, Senator, an. 907 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,320 Speaker 9: Incredibly important first step. 908 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 19: I give you, Bobby Kennedy and the President all the 909 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,920 Speaker 19: credit in the world for doing this, and I'm sure 910 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 19: it's not popular in the medical establishment, who let's face it, 911 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 19: they literally do not understand that much about vaccines. They're 912 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,840 Speaker 19: just totally safe, effective, and then they move forward. Okay, 913 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 19: So I would recommend your listeners read Vaccines Amen Aaron Series. 914 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 9: There are a lot of good books. 915 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 19: Mccullucha is a good one out Dissolving Illusions, Turtles all 916 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 19: the way down, but one that brings it all together 917 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 19: most powerfully is Aaron Series Vaccines. 918 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:43,839 Speaker 7: Men. 919 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,600 Speaker 19: Read that and you'll startcoming to understand really what a 920 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 19: reasonable debate is about vaccines and how we should approach it. 921 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 19: But I'm happy that we're going more to our European model, 922 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 19: spacing them out and do real science. 923 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 9: And that's what it takes. 924 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 19: Time because we have not had true, rigorous studies on 925 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 19: the safety and effectans of these vaccines. We simply have it. 926 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 19: And that's what Bobby Kenny's been pointing out. That's what 927 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 19: Aaron Siri proves in his book. There's a much more 928 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 19: rational way approaching this. Our approach hasn't been rational this day. 929 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,359 Speaker 19: So again it's a great first step I had. 930 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 14: We had Aaron Siri on the show for a long 931 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 14: form conversation and it was fascinating. 932 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:24,479 Speaker 1: I learned a ton. 933 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,400 Speaker 14: He cross examined some of these big pharma folks that 934 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:34,120 Speaker 14: are supposed to be experts in injections and vaccines and 935 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,280 Speaker 14: in depositions. It gets them to admit that there hasn't 936 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,479 Speaker 14: been studies on these. It's just, I mean, it will 937 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 14: blow your mind when you hear the lack of evidence 938 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:49,440 Speaker 14: of science that backs some of these broad sweeping mandates 939 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 14: for our children. We have ten seconds left here, Senator. 940 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 14: I don't know if you looks like you're trying to say. 941 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 19: You should outrage all of your listeners to the extent 942 00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 19: that we've been lied to by the medical SAMs from 943 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 19: our federal health agents. We're not being lied to anymore 944 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:02,839 Speaker 19: with the Bobby Kennedy. 945 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,359 Speaker 1: God bless you, Senator. We'll have you back on again soon. 946 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:05,759 Speaker 1: Thank you. 947 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 14: We'll be right back here. 948 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,839 Speaker 17: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. I'm 949 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 17: Terrence Bates. Today marks the five year anniversary of the 950 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,399 Speaker 17: J six demonstration at the US Capital. Today's anniversary being 951 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 17: marked with the march from the Ellipse to the Capitol 952 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 17: and a memorial to Ashley Babbitt. Real America's Voice Lawn 953 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 17: Border host Ben Berkram is in DC and on the 954 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:38,879 Speaker 17: ground preparing for that march. 955 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 7: He joins us Knive. 956 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 17: Now, I've been talk about this march and kind of 957 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,320 Speaker 17: all of what's happening even surrounding the march that's upcoming 958 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 17: here in the next say, ten to fifteen minutes. 959 00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 16: Well, it's pretty surreal, Terrence. I was here five years ago, actually, 960 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 16: just about at the same location. President Trump gave his 961 00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 16: speech right where we we got some of the organizers 962 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 16: Jay Sixers, about two hundred of them that are gathered 963 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 16: right now. They're going to start marching in about fifteen minutes. 964 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:05,760 Speaker 16: And this is where it all started, at the ellipse. 965 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,400 Speaker 16: Just behind the camera is the Washington Monument. President Trump 966 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 16: came out, gave that impassioned speech, and then we planned 967 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,360 Speaker 16: a peacefully march down to the Capitol, and then everything 968 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 16: else happened that we saw that day. To be back 969 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 16: here five years later to see the weaponization of our 970 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 16: Justice Department against January six Ers, I actually had an 971 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 16: FBI friend who reached out to me and said they 972 00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 16: were taken off of all actual jihattist terror cases in 973 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 16: America under Joe Biden and focused on January six Ers. 974 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 5: That's how insane this got. 975 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 16: Little grandmas that were just simply out there exercising their 976 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 16: First Amendment right. And so now to see where we're 977 00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 16: at now. Most of them have been pardoned. There's a 978 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,360 Speaker 16: few more that still need pardons. Joe Biggs and Stuart 979 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 16: Rhoades still need full pardons, along with about ten others. 980 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 16: But to see where we're at now, thank god. That's 981 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,879 Speaker 16: all I can say is, thank god Kamala Harris didn't win. 982 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 16: There's still more work to be done, though. We need 983 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 16: to hold the people accountable that allowed that to happen. 984 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 16: It's been called the Fed surrection, the federal involvement in it, 985 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 16: the deep state, and beyond that, the people that were 986 00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,840 Speaker 16: really truly trying to undermine our country from within. Terrence 987 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,440 Speaker 16: it ties to everything. It ties to open borders. It 988 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,799 Speaker 16: ties to communism and socialism on Arizon America. It ties 989 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 16: to jihadism on Arizon in America. So all of this 990 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 16: is tied together. Today we celebrate people like Ashley Babbitt. 991 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 16: Her mom's going to be laying a wreath, and we 992 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,480 Speaker 16: remember that, and we look to where can we go 993 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 16: from here? 994 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 5: To move forward as a nation. 995 00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 7: You know, moving forward? 996 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,879 Speaker 17: I think even figuratively, today's march one step at a time, 997 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 17: one foot after the other, moving forward. It seems to 998 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,359 Speaker 17: me that for many of the people, even though they've 999 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 17: been pardoned, the whole idea of being able to move 1000 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 17: forward is going to be a challenge simply because their 1001 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 17: life was upended just by. 1002 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:53,880 Speaker 7: Being in Washington, d C. 1003 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 9: On January fifth. 1004 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 17: January sixth, six seeds me five years ago. 1005 00:49:58,800 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, you're right. 1006 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 16: I mean many of them lost their homes, lost their vehicles, 1007 00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 16: went in bankruptcy, many of them lost their lives. You 1008 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,240 Speaker 16: had a lot that committed suicide, they lost their marriages, 1009 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 16: they lost obviously, lost their jobs and even going back 1010 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:12,640 Speaker 16: into the community. 1011 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 5: That's why this stand in the gap. 1012 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,560 Speaker 16: A foundation was created that were Real America's Voice News 1013 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,839 Speaker 16: has partnered with to help the January sixth ers get 1014 00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,800 Speaker 16: back on their feet, even getting a job. Now if 1015 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 16: they look you up, they google your name and you're 1016 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 16: seen as a January sixth defendant even though you were pardoned. 1017 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 16: A lot of them are getting blackballed from jobs. So 1018 00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 16: major issues obviously with kids emotionally, kids growing up without 1019 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 16: their parents, everything else that goes along with that. 1020 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,200 Speaker 5: So this is a much deeper issue. 1021 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,720 Speaker 16: And as you said, it's day by day, it's step 1022 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 16: by step, and events like this are part of that 1023 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,320 Speaker 16: that healing process to get people back on their feet. 1024 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:52,760 Speaker 17: I'm curious if they want compensation. You've obviously been talking 1025 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 17: with many of the people, even the hundreds, the some 1026 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 17: fifteen hundred or so who have been pardoned, But do 1027 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 17: they want compensation. Pardon is one thing, but getting paidback 1028 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 17: for the years you've lost and for the earning potential 1029 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 17: and other things that you've lost, it seems like that 1030 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 17: would be a challenge. 1031 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I've never I've it's a great question. 1032 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,399 Speaker 16: I've never actually heard anyone say that directly that they 1033 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,600 Speaker 16: want to be paid. But there's no question that they 1034 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 16: want to be able to get back to their life. 1035 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,480 Speaker 16: They want justice. The word is justice if you ask. 1036 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,280 Speaker 16: We had Enrique Tarrio on the press conference Real America's 1037 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 16: Voice Nudes did this morning, and he said retribution. 1038 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 5: They want. 1039 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 16: The biggest thing that everyone that I talked to that 1040 00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 16: they want is justice. They want the people that caused 1041 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 16: it held accountable. They want the das and the judges 1042 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 16: that were behind it held accountable, and the people that 1043 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 16: stole the election. Ultimately, they want justice for the undermining 1044 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 16: of America. 1045 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 17: All Right.

It was 1070 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 7: the first invitation and I just wasn't sufficiently prophetic to 1071 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,439 Speaker 7: know how short time was, and I thought I could 1072 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,399 Speaker 7: do it later. And this is the visit that I'm 1073 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,800 Speaker 7: doing later.

I got to fan boy 1078 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 14: a little bit. I do that rarely, very rarely, but 1079 00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,040 Speaker 14: you know, I Blake understands this because we we we 1080 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,600 Speaker 14: make content and there's only so much content you can 1081 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,760 Speaker 14: consume when you're making content as well. 1082 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 1: You've got you know you It's true. 1083 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 14: But America this Week, which is funny that I got 1084 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,279 Speaker 14: the name wrong.

But 1104 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 14: so let's start at the big question. Help us make 1105 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,600 Speaker 14: sense of our current moment. If you had to distill 1106 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 14: all of these disparate pieces, Somali fraud and democrats are 1107 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,560 Speaker 14: now pro maduro, and you know you've got cultural elements 1108 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:23,320 Speaker 14: weaving throughout. 1109 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,239 Speaker 1: What are you observing? What are you thinking about right now? 1110 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: Walter Kern? 1111 00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,840 Speaker 7: Well, let me, just for those who don't know me, 1112 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 7: introduce my point of view and my reasons for having it. 1113 00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 7: I'm chiefly a novelist, and I was a literary critic 1114 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,799 Speaker 7: and a kind of columnist for all kinds of magazines, 1115 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 7: from Time to the New Republic, Harper's Magazine, fairly liberal magazines. 1116 00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 7: And I see us as living inside a story. There's 1117 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:57,799 Speaker 7: a big story that goes back thousands of years, and 1118 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 7: there's a smaller story that goes back just years and 1119 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,400 Speaker 7: then weeks and then days. And what I tried to 1120 00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:11,280 Speaker 7: do is examine what's going on in terms of narrative, 1121 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,719 Speaker 7: but not in the sense of pushing a narrative, as we, 1122 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 7: you know, often see the mainstream media doing, trying to 1123 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 7: get us to pick a preferred version of reality, but 1124 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 7: in terms of a real drama, a drama that involves 1125 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 7: the big things our lives, our freedom, our history as 1126 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,400 Speaker 7: a culture, and the big events that affect it. So 1127 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:40,000 Speaker 7: if I were to take this moment in time, January 1128 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,680 Speaker 7: twenty twenty six and tell you where we are in 1129 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,839 Speaker 7: the current story as I see it, I would say 1130 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:52,760 Speaker 7: we're at a first act break in which we suddenly 1131 00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:57,719 Speaker 7: look around and realize that not only were we right 1132 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:01,759 Speaker 7: to distrust a certain kinds of authority, you know, in 1133 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 7: the media and in government, you know, particularly I think 1134 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 7: under Biden, when we weren't even treated to the facts 1135 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 7: about his you know, health situation and mental condition. But 1136 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 7: due to this Somali UH fraud, which I think is 1137 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 7: just an aperture into a bigger story, we're suddenly realizing 1138 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:28,320 Speaker 7: that we've been in the middle of a daylight theft, 1139 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 7: a theft of our resources, of our money, of our attention, 1140 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 7: of our ability to interpret things. Suddenly a new filter 1141 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 7: is dropping, and we're seeing that politics is not just 1142 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 7: about ideology, but it's about UH resources. And what I 1143 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,920 Speaker 7: think is the ongoing cover up of a great diversion 1144 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:58,960 Speaker 7: of our resources. So as Americans suddenly think about themselves, 1145 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 7: you know, paying the bill, paying their taxes, raising their families, 1146 00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:06,160 Speaker 7: in light of what seems to have been an almost 1147 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,680 Speaker 7: full scale across the board. You know, we have the 1148 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:13,800 Speaker 7: Minnesota example as a microcosm, but the macrocosmic example extends, 1149 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 7: you know, to the federal government and to many many states. 1150 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 7: We ask ourselves, are we in a society anymore that 1151 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 7: we can go on supporting? Just as the revolutionary colonists 1152 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 7: wondered if they could survive under the British we're starting 1153 00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,240 Speaker 7: to realize that we may be in a situation in 1154 00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,680 Speaker 7: which the very legitimacy of our government, you know, and 1155 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 7: its promises to protect us, to use our resources wisely 1156 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 7: to provide for the common welfare such as we believe 1157 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 7: it's necessary, are all empty, and in fact we've been 1158 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,200 Speaker 7: in the middle of a con job. It's like it's 1159 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:56,960 Speaker 7: I knew a big con man in my life, a 1160 00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 7: guy who called himself Clark Rockefeller and who was a 1161 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 7: friend of mine for years, turned out not to be 1162 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 7: a Rockefeller, turned out in fact to be a murderer. 1163 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 7: And I remember the week after he was exposed in 1164 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:13,120 Speaker 7: the news as a German immigrant who had a whole 1165 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 7: other name and a whole other history than I had 1166 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,480 Speaker 7: known him to have for ten years. I suddenly felt 1167 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,880 Speaker 7: like I was floating in space. I was like, I 1168 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,200 Speaker 7: don't know the guy's real name. All the stories he 1169 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,439 Speaker 7: told me seemed to have been a cover up for 1170 00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 7: a life of crime. I don't know his motives. I 1171 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 7: don't know if I'm in danger when I'm around him. 1172 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 7: Because he was exposed as a suspect in the double murder, 1173 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 7: a Grizzly double murder many years before. And I went 1174 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 7: to the bank that day and I thought, I'm giving 1175 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,240 Speaker 7: the bank my money, but I don't know where it 1176 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 7: goes after I hand it over. I was giving a 1177 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 7: key to a contractor who had to work on my house, 1178 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 7: and I said, but what if he is part of 1179 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:59,520 Speaker 7: a burglary ring? And suddenly everything that, all the bonds 1180 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 7: of trial and all the expectations of reciprocity that go 1181 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,200 Speaker 7: into daily living were broken. And I think we're in 1182 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 7: that as Americans. We suddenly looked around and realized we're 1183 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,760 Speaker 7: on a space walk when we thought we were secure 1184 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 7: inside of space ship. 1185 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 1: Hmmm. 1186 01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 14: Yeah, I really relate to that, actually, because you know, 1187 01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 14: given what we're going through with you know, the trial 1188 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 14: for Charlie's assassin coming up, and you know, all these 1189 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,240 Speaker 14: conspiracy theories swirling. It's it's sort of it suddenly occurred 1190 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:36,040 Speaker 14: to me that you know, listen, we went from don't 1191 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 14: trust the experts to never question the non experts. 1192 01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 1: You know, It's like, but that's what you're talking about. 1193 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 14: It's like the legitimacy of the system when it becomes. 1194 01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: In question. 1195 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 14: In such a massive way, especially following COVID and some 1196 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,000 Speaker 14: of the revelations that we that we learned in that 1197 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 14: in the wake of that. It's it feels like there's 1198 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 14: no solid ground place your feet. 1199 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 7: Well, you know, imagine a draw. 1200 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 1: Thirty seconds, Walter, thirty seconds. I to take a break. 1201 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 7: Imagining a drama in which you find out your wife 1202 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,760 Speaker 7: is cheating on you, but then you find a letter 1203 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,160 Speaker 7: and find out she's cheating you with your best friend. 1204 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:15,200 Speaker 7: Oh not only your best friend, three of your best friends. 1205 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 7: And you look around and you think, can I trust anything? 1206 01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 7: How do I go forward? Where to? What do I 1207 01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 7: cling now? In order to have solidity? And that's I 1208 01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:26,520 Speaker 7: think where we are? 1209 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I want to. I want to. 1210 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,040 Speaker 14: I think it's probably worth I don't know, Blake, please 1211 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 14: chime in here, but I wonder if it's worth going 1212 01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 14: back through the through the ticker tape here and figuring 1213 01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,040 Speaker 14: out how we got here, or if it's more important 1214 01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,040 Speaker 14: to look forward. But I think you know, you are 1215 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 14: a man of great experience. 1216 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 1: Blowing through the breaks, so we can do both. And 1217 01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: we're doing a full hour. We're going to continue. 1218 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 14: Okay, we are good to go through the clock right now. 1219 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 14: I am told I'm guys. 1220 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 1: The new excitement of the new year. 1221 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,560 Speaker 15: You don't know about this, Walter, but we were on radio. 1222 01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 15: But now we're not on radio, so we still adapt in. 1223 01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 14: Actually, it's worth saying the story we opted out. I mean, 1224 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 14: there was a narrative going around that people that we 1225 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 14: got kicked off, right to know, we were actually offered 1226 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,720 Speaker 14: to go back on radio. But one of the reasons 1227 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 14: that we didn't is because Charlie and I had already 1228 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:15,840 Speaker 14: decided that we were not going to for various reasons. 1229 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,720 Speaker 14: But it's also one of the benefits is that we 1230 01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,560 Speaker 14: get to just continue on with guests like you, where 1231 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 14: we don't have to do this chot be start and 1232 01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:27,200 Speaker 14: stop things. So yeah, so but yeah, how did we 1233 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,520 Speaker 14: get here to this moment? Then, Walter? How did we 1234 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,360 Speaker 14: get to a point where we can't trust the ground 1235 01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:33,000 Speaker 14: under our feet? 1236 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 7: Well? I think it's act one because the Trump presidency 1237 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 7: and the re election of Donald Trump provided a kind 1238 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 7: of refresh to the whole cycle. You know, that was 1239 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:49,480 Speaker 7: a point which people who had anticipated and worked hard 1240 01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,440 Speaker 7: to bring about a result on the behalf of Donald 1241 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 7: Trump's election succeeded and sat down for a minute, reflected 1242 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,320 Speaker 7: on our expectations and the promises that they felt they'd 1243 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,760 Speaker 7: been made, and started over. And that first year of 1244 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:10,160 Speaker 7: Trump is a pretty natural, uh, a pretty natural time 1245 01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:14,120 Speaker 7: span to review. When he came in exactly almost a 1246 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 7: year ago, I think people were expecting justice. They wanted 1247 01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 7: an immediate kind of redemption and even revenge for the sins. 1248 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 21: Of COVID, for the deep state hoaxes coop against him 1249 01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 21: that had been going on for years, and for the 1250 01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 21: deceptions that had come from the opposite party and from 1251 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:47,080 Speaker 21: our own government in an attempt to unseat him, from 1252 01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 21: the legal cases. 1253 01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 7: That were flimsy, to the charges about Russia and so on. 1254 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,040 Speaker 7: So everybody got in their seat and they prepared for 1255 01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,560 Speaker 7: a gunfight at the OK Corral. And it didn't happen, 1256 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 7: And there was a lot of instant dissatisfaction, a lot 1257 01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,480 Speaker 7: of it fermented and aggravated by his enemies who want 1258 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:11,400 Speaker 7: to create dissatisfaction. And his followers, Look, he's not doing anything, 1259 01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 7: nothing will happen. He's not what he promised. He's not 1260 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 7: the gunslinger, he's not the agent of justice. He's just 1261 01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 7: another politician. Well, I think that's just changed because both 1262 01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,240 Speaker 7: the revelations of this fraud which can which are really 1263 01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,640 Speaker 7: an extension of the dose revelations, but with much more 1264 01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:39,439 Speaker 7: vividness has suddenly come a spate of actions on his part. 1265 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:43,960 Speaker 7: Whether it's this Maduro raid, whether it's what we're seeing 1266 01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:48,400 Speaker 7: right now in Minnesota, which is a two thousand agent 1267 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,400 Speaker 7: descent of federal force on what appears to be a 1268 01:04:53,400 --> 01:05:02,880 Speaker 7: criminal racket of almost unimaginable riches and financial dimensions. And 1269 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 7: so this is the year of action. So combined with 1270 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 7: that sense of you know, floating and displacement that I 1271 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 7: described before, we're also getting a feeling, oh wow, we 1272 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:18,240 Speaker 7: just shifted gears and the thing that we maybe some 1273 01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,240 Speaker 7: longed for and felt frustrated that they hadn't gotten immediately 1274 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 7: is now going to come very swiftly. And whether or 1275 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:35,520 Speaker 7: not it's too late, whether or not it's you know, 1276 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 7: people have gotten too cynical to even believe justice as possible, 1277 01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,240 Speaker 7: I don't know. But it's an action time, and he's 1278 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 7: trilegraphing it all across the board. 1279 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: I guess it's interesting me. 1280 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,280 Speaker 15: As Andrew pointed out, you've been around a little longer 1281 01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:53,240 Speaker 15: than us, I do think if you want to reason. 1282 01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 1: For autamtics long, Yeah, if you want. 1283 01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:56,800 Speaker 15: To reason for optimism, you can look at in the 1284 01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:01,040 Speaker 15: late seventies, America was in Malaise as Carter. Even in 1285 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 15: the nineties, you get you know, Chuck Palinak is writing 1286 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 15: these novels about how everything's fake and terrible. 1287 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:07,920 Speaker 1: In the nineties, everything's awful. 1288 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,560 Speaker 15: And of course maybe I'm only going off the movie here, 1289 01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 15: but I know one of your books, Up in the 1290 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:16,360 Speaker 15: Air is about a lot of the onwee from. You know, 1291 01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 15: since the corporate world is getting detached from human values 1292 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 15: and such, so is there anything to be said? 1293 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,560 Speaker 1: This might just be a constant. Are things truly worse now? 1294 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 15: Or maybe are we just psychologically worse because of the Internet. 1295 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 22: For example, Worse isn't a word I like to use, 1296 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:39,480 Speaker 22: because the framing around better and worse is always changing. 1297 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 7: You can look at it in the short term, the 1298 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 7: long term, and so on. I think that things are 1299 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:50,160 Speaker 7: actually starting to become hopeful because we've started to reach 1300 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 7: the roots of some of the problems that before we 1301 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:59,160 Speaker 7: were confused, baffled and depressed by. I think people are 1302 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,560 Speaker 7: starting to feel a shit sense of agency and uh 1303 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 7: and comprehension about how these bad systems work and what 1304 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:13,160 Speaker 7: might disrupt them. And I think they are moving out 1305 01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 7: of a period of cynicism about bred by their I 1306 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:24,800 Speaker 7: think over exaggerated expectations of action into a sense that 1307 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 7: maybe it's possible for the bad guys to be defeated. 1308 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,840 Speaker 7: We now know who they are, we know how their 1309 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:35,080 Speaker 7: formulas work, we know how their crimes are set up, 1310 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,760 Speaker 7: we know the scale of them, which I think is 1311 01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:43,440 Speaker 7: shocking people. And it's not Elon Musk anymore as it 1312 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 7: was last spring and sort of putting himself out front. 1313 01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:52,600 Speaker 7: Is people like Nick Shirley and you know the commoners 1314 01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 7: who are suddenly picking up the pitchforks. But they're picking 1315 01:07:56,720 --> 01:07:59,440 Speaker 7: up the pitchforks in a pretty constructive way. You know, 1316 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,800 Speaker 7: they're they're they're not baying for revenge, they're not rioting, 1317 01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:07,760 Speaker 7: they're not you know, just foaming at the mouth. They 1318 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:10,959 Speaker 7: know where to look, and they're finding the evidence. They're 1319 01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,400 Speaker 7: gathering it, they're sharing it, and they are I think, 1320 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 7: preparing themselves for action, and they're also persuading their neighbors 1321 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:23,559 Speaker 7: and friends. I think you know that all of this 1322 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:28,719 Speaker 7: new critical information dropped over the holidays was a great 1323 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:34,519 Speaker 7: opportunity for people to share it and discuss it and 1324 01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 7: meditate on it. So just as January is when the 1325 01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:42,800 Speaker 7: New Year's resolutions kick in. I think this is kind 1326 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:48,880 Speaker 7: of harmonically timed for people who want to kick into gear. 1327 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 14: Yeah, and you know, it's I have so many thoughts, Walter, 1328 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:56,160 Speaker 14: you know, I agree with you.

So, Walter, you know, it occurs to me 1487 01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:23,840 Speaker 14: that so much of what we're talking around here is 1488 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,880 Speaker 14: either a byproduct or a relative close cousin to this 1489 01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 14: media industrial complex that was blown up at the advent 1490 01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,000 Speaker 14: of the Internet, and then it's been sort of this 1491 01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:38,680 Speaker 14: slow death march, you know, cable cutters, things, you know, 1492 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:41,919 Speaker 14: we've been moving more digitally. That's created a massive opportunity 1493 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:45,800 Speaker 14: for shows like this. Creators like Charlie now myself from 1494 01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 14: Blake are now public figures. So it's but it's also 1495 01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:54,840 Speaker 14: created a conundrum for truth, for veracity. How do you 1496 01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,200 Speaker 14: verify things now we've got Ai Blake was just telling 1497 01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,280 Speaker 14: me he couldn't verify whether Maderia. 1498 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,960 Speaker 15: It was crazy story that you've almost certainly heard where 1499 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,800 Speaker 15: they blew up Madag Chavez's mausoleum. 1500 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, who goes shout. I can't I literally can't figure 1501 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 1: out if it's true or not. 1502 01:18:08,439 --> 01:18:10,760 Speaker 15: Because people are posting photos and other people are saying 1503 01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,599 Speaker 15: that is an AI fake photo, and I haven't been 1504 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:13,880 Speaker 15: able to. 1505 01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,240 Speaker 1: Look in deep enough and it either could be true. 1506 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,640 Speaker 1: So what do we do in this landscape? 1507 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 15: There was another one someone posted a thread that was like, 1508 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:26,560 Speaker 15: I work at uber eats and they're scamming everyone and 1509 01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,160 Speaker 15: like all their stuff, Like they're doing all this scummy 1510 01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 15: stuff like special expedited delivery stuff that's all fake. It's 1511 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 15: just done to get more money out of you. And 1512 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,120 Speaker 15: he had all this evidence and he sent it to 1513 01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:40,080 Speaker 15: a journalist and that was all AI fabrications. It was 1514 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:44,439 Speaker 15: like an AI done hit job against a food delivery company. 1515 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:48,759 Speaker 14: Well, all of these examples underscore the question I'm asking, 1516 01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:50,800 Speaker 14: and I haven't really distilled it in a very good 1517 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 14: good question yet, But will do you strike me as 1518 01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:58,320 Speaker 14: a guy who is, you know, very concerned with what 1519 01:18:58,400 --> 01:18:59,360 Speaker 14: is the ultimate truth? 1520 01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:00,519 Speaker 1: What is the deepest truth? 1521 01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,479 Speaker 14: What do we do when you have a population of 1522 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 14: three hundred and fifty million people, not to mention the 1523 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 14: global population all trying to suss through these different, you know, 1524 01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:12,680 Speaker 14: disparate information streams. How do you get everybody on the 1525 01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:15,360 Speaker 14: same page, How do you how do you get truth across? 1526 01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 1: What do we do in this in this landscape. 1527 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,799 Speaker 7: You don't try to get everyone on the same page. 1528 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:26,839 Speaker 7: That was an illusion in a grandiose mythological white whale 1529 01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:30,240 Speaker 7: that was pursued in the age of television and mass media. 1530 01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,679 Speaker 7: It's no longer possible, and I don't think it's any 1531 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 7: longer desirable. One of the virtues of people not knowing 1532 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,280 Speaker 7: what's real beyond the horizon is that they start concentrating 1533 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:46,200 Speaker 7: on what's within their horizon. We have spent far too 1534 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:50,200 Speaker 7: long in the United States knowing what's going on in 1535 01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,920 Speaker 7: New York, knowing what's going on in Los Angeles, knowing 1536 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,400 Speaker 7: what's going on in Washington, and not knowing what's going 1537 01:19:55,439 --> 01:20:02,799 Speaker 7: on across the street. The the difficulty of painting truth 1538 01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,680 Speaker 7: about what's going on around the world should cause us, 1539 01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,519 Speaker 7: I think, to slightly give up on it, because there 1540 01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:13,840 Speaker 7: is a family, a house, a street, a town, a neighborhood, 1541 01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:18,439 Speaker 7: a church, a group of friends that needs your attention. 1542 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:21,719 Speaker 7: I promise you those were the things that they tried 1543 01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,160 Speaker 7: to break up during COVID. When the powers that be 1544 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:30,440 Speaker 7: tried to leverage that pandemic into permanent rule for themselves, 1545 01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:34,200 Speaker 7: they knew that their first strike had to be at 1546 01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:37,559 Speaker 7: your church, at your hardware store, at your grocery store, 1547 01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,599 Speaker 7: at your family, at your dinner table. Well, those are 1548 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:44,360 Speaker 7: the things you have to reclaim first. You know, I 1549 01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:49,600 Speaker 7: have a friend who's very into solar magnetic storms and 1550 01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:53,759 Speaker 7: sort of doom and apocalypse around, you know, big earth 1551 01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:56,800 Speaker 7: changes and so on. And I thought to myself one 1552 01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,679 Speaker 7: night he'd warned me that there was a big ejection 1553 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 7: of plasma from the sun and might all the lights 1554 01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:04,679 Speaker 7: might go out. And I said, well, if the lights 1555 01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,240 Speaker 7: go out, where do I start? What do I do next? 1556 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:10,320 Speaker 7: I figure out who I can trust, I figure out 1557 01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,880 Speaker 7: what I have to trade. I figure out, you know, 1558 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:16,799 Speaker 7: what I can defend and who I'm going to defend. 1559 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 7: And all those questions that would come in the wake 1560 01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,200 Speaker 7: of a disaster are ones that we need to be 1561 01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:26,320 Speaker 7: asking right now, because the disaster is this, as you say, 1562 01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:31,559 Speaker 7: melting of reality and starting on first principles and starting 1563 01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,120 Speaker 7: at home and starting with the world you can look 1564 01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,519 Speaker 7: around and see with your own eyes is the solution. 1565 01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:42,040 Speaker 7: And then those pods, as it were, those cells, just 1566 01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,679 Speaker 7: like the body. The body isn't made of some big 1567 01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:50,679 Speaker 7: giant piece of you know, chicken McNugget. It's got cells 1568 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:57,439 Speaker 7: in it, little active, isolated engines that link up and 1569 01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,760 Speaker 7: work together, and at the cellular lefe Well, we have 1570 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:05,120 Speaker 7: to I think renew our uh you know, renew our 1571 01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,880 Speaker 7: contracts if we're going to have a bigger social contract. 1572 01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,120 Speaker 7: And this vain thought that everybody is going to be 1573 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:17,599 Speaker 7: guided by some obelisk that beams truth down from the 1574 01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 7: central authorities is does not serve us. Well, it causes 1575 01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,120 Speaker 7: it to ignore our own garden. 1576 01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,479 Speaker 1: Mhmm. Yeah, I love. I love what you're saying. 1577 01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 14: I mean we've been, you know, saying for a long 1578 01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 14: time politics starts local, and you're kind of broadening that 1579 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,559 Speaker 14: conversation to sort of say, look. 1580 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,320 Speaker 15: We just got an email today someone who said they 1581 01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,720 Speaker 15: were inspired to get involved in Maricopa County politics. 1582 01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:41,679 Speaker 1: Great Charlie. 1583 01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 14: Well, yeah, absolutely, I mean that is that is where 1584 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:49,800 Speaker 14: it starts, you know, Walter, I mean, I gotcha. My 1585 01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:51,639 Speaker 14: problem with you, Walter is I want to talk about 1586 01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,639 Speaker 14: too many things and there's just not enough time. 1587 01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:55,080 Speaker 7: Well, I'll come back. 1588 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:58,400 Speaker 14: I'm still bound by the clock here. I yeah, I 1589 01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,560 Speaker 14: would be remiss if I didn't give you an opportunity 1590 01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,679 Speaker 14: to talk about what Charlie's assassination meant for our country. 1591 01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,479 Speaker 14: And you know, as I'm hearing you talk earlier, you 1592 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:12,479 Speaker 14: mentioned Nick Shirley and this sort of new wave that 1593 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 14: is slowly kind of forming. You've got Dan Bongino that's 1594 01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,080 Speaker 14: coming back, and he's right, you know, he's saying he's 1595 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:23,040 Speaker 14: gonna wage war on certain you know, influences within maybe 1596 01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:24,400 Speaker 14: the conservative movement and beyond. 1597 01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:29,599 Speaker 1: I just think it's interesting. I believed, in my whole heart. 1598 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,600 Speaker 14: Especially after we got past the memorial, that there was 1599 01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,160 Speaker 14: gonna be this sifting of the movement. There was gonna 1600 01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,519 Speaker 14: be this like this changing of the guard, sort of 1601 01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:43,240 Speaker 14: a new out of necessity, this newness that was going 1602 01:23:43,320 --> 01:23:45,200 Speaker 14: to be created out of the chaos and the loss. 1603 01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:50,120 Speaker 14: And I just so, without feeding you answers, I want 1604 01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:51,880 Speaker 14: to hear what you have to say, but I believe 1605 01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 14: that there is something that we are observing. It it 1606 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:57,000 Speaker 14: will not become clear to us until some time now. 1607 01:23:57,120 --> 01:24:01,160 Speaker 14: But what what did losing Charlie? What did you observe? 1608 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 14: What did it mean? And where are we going next? 1609 01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,280 Speaker 7: Well, to be very cold about it and systematic, as 1610 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 7: though I don't have a heart. A power vacuum develops 1611 01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:17,880 Speaker 7: when someone of Charlie's magnitude and competence and gifts is lost, 1612 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:23,680 Speaker 7: and in that power vacuum, all sorts of opportunistic creatures 1613 01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:27,559 Speaker 7: come rushing in and they live by the law of 1614 01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:31,080 Speaker 7: the jungle. How much space that has been left vacant 1615 01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,639 Speaker 7: can I occupy? How securely can I occupy it? How 1616 01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,920 Speaker 7: can I fend off competitors? And that was a frankly 1617 01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:41,080 Speaker 7: ugly process to watch, and I guess it still goes 1618 01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,400 Speaker 7: on to some extent, But in another way, it's a 1619 01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:47,800 Speaker 7: tribute to how big a space he occupied that it was, 1620 01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,200 Speaker 7: that it left so much vacant for so many sort 1621 01:24:51,240 --> 01:24:56,559 Speaker 7: of competitive Darwinian struggles over power and attention. 1622 01:24:58,360 --> 01:24:58,960 Speaker 1: But I think the. 1623 01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,160 Speaker 7: Real meaning of the thing is the meaning of the 1624 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:05,479 Speaker 7: moment after that I felt and others felt, which was 1625 01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:09,680 Speaker 7: someone has just given in what it was not understood 1626 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 7: as a war but suddenly looks like one because of 1627 01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 7: the combatant falling given everything. And he's given everything in 1628 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,960 Speaker 7: the purest way. He he, he. You know, he wasn't 1629 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:24,560 Speaker 7: a man behind us a plexiglass. He was someone openly 1630 01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:29,800 Speaker 7: sitting with a square stance before a crowd of his 1631 01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:36,320 Speaker 7: fellow Americans, taking all comers, listening and speaking back. He 1632 01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:40,960 Speaker 7: was the avatar of openness he and that that openness 1633 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:46,200 Speaker 7: was rewarded with destruction was I think a shock that 1634 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,719 Speaker 7: showed us how far we'd gone, how far we'd fallen. 1635 01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:55,160 Speaker 7: You know, when when when, truly you know, when demagogues 1636 01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:58,320 Speaker 7: and people who are you know, have armies behind them 1637 01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 7: and so on, are assassin well, you know, h that 1638 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,599 Speaker 7: they kind of lived by the sword. But to live, 1639 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:08,439 Speaker 7: but to live by the word and die by the 1640 01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:11,639 Speaker 7: sword is a whole other thing. And to watch someone 1641 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:13,840 Speaker 7: who lived by the word die by the sword was 1642 01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:17,640 Speaker 7: a terrible moment, and it affected me deeply. I'll be 1643 01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,559 Speaker 7: honest with you. I'm a little old for you know, 1644 01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,760 Speaker 7: campus activism and and a lot of the other things 1645 01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,479 Speaker 7: that try would take you all well. 1646 01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:30,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know I was. 1647 01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,840 Speaker 7: I was. I was aware with him, aware of him 1648 01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:36,360 Speaker 7: in my peripheral vision, and suddenly when he moved to 1649 01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:39,559 Speaker 7: the center of my vision in this terrible way, terrible way, 1650 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,040 Speaker 7: I saw the best and worst of America in one 1651 01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:48,639 Speaker 7: lightning flash. I saw someone who still believed that freedom 1652 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:54,320 Speaker 7: of speech a sort of candor about your spiritual and 1653 01:26:54,560 --> 01:27:00,320 Speaker 7: religious beliefs uh in dialogue with people who maybe flat 1654 01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,599 Speaker 7: out opposed them can still lead to a happy ending. 1655 01:27:04,240 --> 01:27:09,240 Speaker 7: That faith lives on. It was liberated from his body, 1656 01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:13,960 Speaker 7: but it's spread everywhere, and I think it's starting to 1657 01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:19,919 Speaker 7: reassemble itself after a period of darkness. I mean, everybody 1658 01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 7: was traumatized, whether they know it or not. And some 1659 01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 7: people aren't their best under trauma. You know, they become 1660 01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:32,479 Speaker 7: very selfish or even kind of evil. But there is 1661 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:38,479 Speaker 7: a waking up to the fact that this was a 1662 01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:42,000 Speaker 7: good force. It was almost too good for the world. 1663 01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:50,920 Speaker 7: It was dispersed by hatred, envy, of resentment, jealousy, perhaps. 1664 01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,479 Speaker 15: Even I mean, you won't think I think it is 1665 01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:58,439 Speaker 15: the best thing about this horrible tragedy that I've brought 1666 01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:03,479 Speaker 15: up is Charlie truly was cut down at his absolute peak, 1667 01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 15: and so in a sense, his peak does live on forever. 1668 01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:13,240 Speaker 15: He's always as he was on that campus in throughout 1669 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:16,719 Speaker 15: the year twenty twenty five. He was at his peak 1670 01:28:16,760 --> 01:28:18,759 Speaker 15: form in terms of argument, he was at his peak 1671 01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:21,639 Speaker 15: form in terms of how well he lived his life. 1672 01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:26,519 Speaker 15: He was getting better and better, and there's something very 1673 01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:29,840 Speaker 15: there's something very powerful about that, and that's a lot 1674 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:33,280 Speaker 15: of the power of martyrs is the way they can 1675 01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:36,439 Speaker 15: endure forever. You never have to see them make mistakes 1676 01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:38,120 Speaker 15: or get old or lose their fastball. 1677 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:41,840 Speaker 1: They're always in that pristine form. Yeah, Blake. 1678 01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 14: Blake helped write the eulogy that we published at tposa 1679 01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 14: dot com the day after, and I still don't know 1680 01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:52,960 Speaker 14: how you wrote. 1681 01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:53,439 Speaker 1: It, Blake. 1682 01:28:54,000 --> 01:29:00,679 Speaker 14: As in the morning Charlie died, I basically shell shocked, 1683 01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,479 Speaker 14: like the world didn't make sense. I remember trying, you know, 1684 01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 14: I was supposed to get out a statement, you know, 1685 01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:11,680 Speaker 14: about Charlie. We had received word that he had he 1686 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,599 Speaker 14: was gone, you know, because there was some confusion about that, 1687 01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:19,400 Speaker 14: and I remember trying to write, you know, whatever it 1688 01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:23,120 Speaker 14: was I was supposed to write. And President Trump ended 1689 01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:28,360 Speaker 14: up true socially that Charlie was dead, and I remember 1690 01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:31,360 Speaker 14: just being so relieved. I mean, I couldn't put one 1691 01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,040 Speaker 14: foot in front of the other. It was like, you know, 1692 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:34,760 Speaker 14: it was like that scene out of Saving Private Ryan, 1693 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:38,120 Speaker 14: where it was just you know, it's just everything was 1694 01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:41,200 Speaker 14: moving in slow motion, but my body couldn't I couldn't 1695 01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:44,080 Speaker 14: make it function. So the fact that Blake in the 1696 01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:46,040 Speaker 14: in the middle of that night got the words out. 1697 01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:47,680 Speaker 14: But one of the things he said was that you know, 1698 01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:51,160 Speaker 14: Charlie will will never grow old. You know, we'll never 1699 01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 14: see him, you know, lose lose any of the grandeur 1700 01:29:55,360 --> 01:30:00,240 Speaker 14: and the glory of his youth. And I guess in 1701 01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 14: some ways this far removed from it. I feel comforted 1702 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:06,400 Speaker 14: in some ways that I always get to remember him 1703 01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,400 Speaker 14: that way, but I hate that I have to remember 1704 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 14: him too. So it's a bittersweet feeling. But I know 1705 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,719 Speaker 14: that he's gone and there's no bringing him back. 1706 01:30:13,439 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 7: But well, you know, I don't mean to be disputatious 1707 01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:22,839 Speaker 7: or niggling, but I don't think he was at his peak. 1708 01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:23,840 Speaker 7: I think he was. 1709 01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:24,720 Speaker 1: I actually agree with this. 1710 01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,800 Speaker 7: I think he was ascending toward his peak. He was 1711 01:30:28,840 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 7: on an obvious track. He had momentum. He was like, 1712 01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:37,400 Speaker 7: he was like a mountain climber who can suddenly see 1713 01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 7: the top of the mountain, the top of Everest. They've 1714 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:43,920 Speaker 7: got their pack, and you know they're going to get there, 1715 01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:46,879 Speaker 7: you know they're going to even get there or beyond, 1716 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:52,160 Speaker 7: and suddenly it's over. What that You know that happens 1717 01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:56,519 Speaker 7: to poets, rock stars, saints and a lot of people 1718 01:30:57,360 --> 01:31:00,880 Speaker 7: who die young and yet inspire us to pick up 1719 01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,320 Speaker 7: their pack and carry it and I think we're going 1720 01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:04,719 Speaker 7: to have to go where he was going. 1721 01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:06,439 Speaker 1: I totally. 1722 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:08,479 Speaker 14: I mean, a lot of people, you know, speculate was 1723 01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:09,599 Speaker 14: Charlie going to be president? 1724 01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:12,080 Speaker 1: Who knows? 1725 01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:14,479 Speaker 7: He was the kind of he was the kind of 1726 01:31:14,560 --> 01:31:16,880 Speaker 7: guy what I love about him. What I love about 1727 01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:19,479 Speaker 7: him was that he seemed like he still had the 1728 01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:22,599 Speaker 7: ability to change, He still had the ability to learn 1729 01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,639 Speaker 7: and to formulate new conclusions. Hey, he might have gotten 1730 01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:28,720 Speaker 7: to age thirty five and decided, I don't want to 1731 01:31:28,760 --> 01:31:31,200 Speaker 7: be the president of the United States. I want to 1732 01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:34,400 Speaker 7: be X or I want to you know, write a 1733 01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:37,240 Speaker 7: book or whatever it was. I mean, though, he was 1734 01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,360 Speaker 7: dedicated to action and the turning Point I think is 1735 01:31:41,280 --> 01:31:44,800 Speaker 7: most impressive to me in terms of getting stuff done. 1736 01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,080 Speaker 7: Like turning Point, people wake up every day and they 1737 01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:52,960 Speaker 7: achieve goals that are small in the short term and 1738 01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,120 Speaker 7: huge in the long term. And we're not a society 1739 01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:59,080 Speaker 7: like that anymore. To see anybody be effective anymore, especially 1740 01:31:59,080 --> 01:32:02,840 Speaker 7: in a large scale movement, is astonishing, you know, and 1741 01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:07,720 Speaker 7: especially without tons of money. But I think that, you know, 1742 01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:12,080 Speaker 7: he uh, I don't know what my original point was. 1743 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:15,400 Speaker 24: Actually I straight a bit there, But I don't know 1744 01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:17,320 Speaker 24: how he would have ended up. I only know that 1745 01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:21,080 Speaker 24: wherever he chose to go, he would have gotten there, 1746 01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:22,599 Speaker 24: and he would have gotten there. 1747 01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:24,640 Speaker 7: Superbly. 1748 01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:27,080 Speaker 15: What if he wasn't waiting, What if he'd really gone 1749 01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 15: for becoming a college football coach? 1750 01:32:30,200 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 1: That was what you said. 1751 01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:33,640 Speaker 15: He always said if he got tired of gave up, 1752 01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:35,360 Speaker 15: he would just quit and coach college He would. 1753 01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:37,320 Speaker 14: He would joke at our chat all the time. He'd 1754 01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 14: be like, fine, I give up. 1755 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,840 Speaker 1: You know I quit. I retired. He's like, I'm gonna 1756 01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:41,839 Speaker 1: go coach college football. 1757 01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:43,960 Speaker 15: Universe where people are like, did you know that that 1758 01:32:44,160 --> 01:32:45,080 Speaker 15: college football coach? 1759 01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:46,680 Speaker 1: He's studio political opera. 1760 01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 14: Exactly, Walter, You, you and Matt have a great show. 1761 01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:54,200 Speaker 14: I want to make sure people know where to find 1762 01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:55,920 Speaker 14: it and how to follow you on that stuff. We 1763 01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,280 Speaker 14: still have about six minutes here, but I really really 1764 01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:01,600 Speaker 14: love your guys his content there, So please like, what 1765 01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:04,679 Speaker 14: are you doing with Matt? And what should what should 1766 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:05,720 Speaker 14: people know about what you're up to? 1767 01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:11,519 Speaker 7: So, Matt Tayibe is a muck raking reporter from the left. Really, 1768 01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:13,960 Speaker 7: I think he was at his greatest fame during the 1769 01:33:13,960 --> 01:33:20,000 Speaker 7: Occupy Wall Street years as he basically took on high 1770 01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:25,400 Speaker 7: finance and showed they had committed crimes all through what 1771 01:33:25,439 --> 01:33:30,320 Speaker 7: we now call the financial crisis. But like me, sometime 1772 01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:34,760 Speaker 7: around the first year of the Trump president's first Trump presidency, 1773 01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:40,080 Speaker 7: he started to see his colleagues fall for this ridiculous 1774 01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:45,360 Speaker 7: and un you know, unverifiable story of Trump being a 1775 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:50,240 Speaker 7: Russian agent, and it alienated him from his cohort, as 1776 01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:52,600 Speaker 7: it did me. I was probably a little more to 1777 01:33:52,640 --> 01:33:54,600 Speaker 7: the right than Matt taibe are a little more to 1778 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:58,320 Speaker 7: the center. But we both found ourselves after a few 1779 01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:07,320 Speaker 7: years feeling deserted by are supposedly principled and supposedly conscientious colleagues, 1780 01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,360 Speaker 7: and so we came together in a sense of in 1781 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,120 Speaker 7: the sense of both being stranded by not getting on 1782 01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:16,680 Speaker 7: the rushigate train. And what we try to do on 1783 01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:21,880 Speaker 7: our podcast that's a huge sports fan and is give 1784 01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:26,880 Speaker 7: you a sort of skybox play by play, a big 1785 01:34:26,920 --> 01:34:32,040 Speaker 7: picture narration of events as though they were a game. 1786 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,360 Speaker 7: Now we realize they're not a game, but we try 1787 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 7: to treat them as one, with a lot of humor, 1788 01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:41,840 Speaker 7: with a lot of you know, mischief, and kind of 1789 01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:45,799 Speaker 7: pop cultural reference, so that the heaviness of things doesn't 1790 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:51,519 Speaker 7: destroy people. It's important to keep a light spirit. And 1791 01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:56,360 Speaker 7: when you talk about black pilling, absolutely, when you talk 1792 01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,960 Speaker 7: about black pilling, you're talking about the thing that bothers 1793 01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:02,120 Speaker 7: me most. And people who want good things to happen, 1794 01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 7: despair is a sin, and spreading despair is practically the 1795 01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:12,240 Speaker 7: sin that they tell us is the unforgivable sin against 1796 01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:15,879 Speaker 7: the Holy Spirit. When you try to destroy someone's spirit 1797 01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:20,559 Speaker 7: with pessimism, with cynicism, and you know, a little bit 1798 01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:22,760 Speaker 7: of that goes a long way, but when you try 1799 01:35:22,800 --> 01:35:24,880 Speaker 7: to give them the feeling that nothing you can do, 1800 01:35:25,280 --> 01:35:28,120 Speaker 7: nothing you can say, and no one you can appeal 1801 01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:31,479 Speaker 7: to will it ever help you. It's lost and you're 1802 01:35:31,520 --> 01:35:34,680 Speaker 7: just living out the clock on this earth, feeling the 1803 01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:38,160 Speaker 7: pain and feeling the depression. You may as well go 1804 01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:43,040 Speaker 7: kill yourself. Well, that for me is that for me 1805 01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:46,519 Speaker 7: is the enemy in all respects. Because as long as 1806 01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:49,759 Speaker 7: you have a lightness, as long as you have a flow, 1807 01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:52,680 Speaker 7: as long as you have sort of a light on 1808 01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 7: in your heart and in your mind, there's a chance 1809 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:59,360 Speaker 7: for change. But that is absolute death. And the black 1810 01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,719 Speaker 7: pill people who tell you know you've been betrayed again 1811 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,720 Speaker 7: don't expect anything, and they think they're being grown up, 1812 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:08,360 Speaker 7: and they think they're being sophisticated, but what they're really 1813 01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:12,439 Speaker 7: doing is sending you to an early grave. And what 1814 01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:16,000 Speaker 7: they're really doing is opening the way for the true cynics, 1815 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:21,240 Speaker 7: the psychopaths, the powermongers, to own you forever and enslave you. 1816 01:36:21,320 --> 01:36:26,439 Speaker 7: And so what Matt and I do is, if anything, 1817 01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:30,320 Speaker 7: an assault on the black pillars, you can still laugh 1818 01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:32,160 Speaker 7: no matter how dark things get. 1819 01:36:33,400 --> 01:36:35,680 Speaker 15: All right, Well, before we go, if you had to 1820 01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:40,280 Speaker 15: recommend one of your books two people who are watching 1821 01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:44,200 Speaker 15: or listening to this, what would you say. 1822 01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:46,760 Speaker 7: You know, funny, there's a book with a terrible cover 1823 01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:49,719 Speaker 7: right there called Mission to America. Look at that terrible cover. 1824 01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,679 Speaker 7: I mean, they did not even have AI as an excuse. 1825 01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,200 Speaker 7: And it's a story of it's a story of two 1826 01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,960 Speaker 7: missionaries who grow up and what's basically a cult isolated 1827 01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:02,920 Speaker 7: in the mountains of Montana, which hasn't gotten out into 1828 01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:06,080 Speaker 7: the world for one hundred years, and it's become so inbred, 1829 01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:09,639 Speaker 7: literally genetically inbred, that they're sent out in a van 1830 01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:15,080 Speaker 7: to try to get female converts in America two thousand 1831 01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:18,479 Speaker 7: and five, and they leave their mountain valley having never 1832 01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:23,400 Speaker 7: watched television, you know, being as innocent as Martians practically, 1833 01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:27,200 Speaker 7: and they hit the road to bring people to their 1834 01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,600 Speaker 7: belief system. And it's a story about faith. It's a 1835 01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:36,000 Speaker 7: story about modernity versus you know, the old ways, and 1836 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:39,280 Speaker 7: it's a story about vulnerability, because I mean, the first 1837 01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:41,400 Speaker 7: time they sit down in a motel to turn on TV, 1838 01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:45,360 Speaker 7: they're there for eighteen hours. You know, they have no 1839 01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:48,719 Speaker 7: immunity to it. So I try, I try to show 1840 01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:51,479 Speaker 7: modern America from the point of view of people who 1841 01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:55,599 Speaker 7: aren't immune to its seductions, and it's you know, it's 1842 01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:56,880 Speaker 7: poisons and so on. 1843 01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 1: I love that the way you describe it. 1844 01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:01,840 Speaker 14: I've been describing the a lot like this lately, about 1845 01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:04,720 Speaker 14: we build up this immunity to things. And next time 1846 01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:06,960 Speaker 14: I have you on, Walter, I want. I feel like 1847 01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:11,559 Speaker 14: since Trump came down those golden escalators, we as a 1848 01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:15,479 Speaker 14: country have been building immunities to the fake news, to 1849 01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:20,920 Speaker 14: the to the propaganda, to psyops, to color revolutions, to hoaxes. 1850 01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:21,519 Speaker 5: Uh. 1851 01:38:21,560 --> 01:38:24,480 Speaker 14: And I would be super curious to have a conversation 1852 01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:27,840 Speaker 14: in depth about the the immunities that we're growing now, 1853 01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:31,160 Speaker 14: because I think when we're talking about black pillar immunities, 1854 01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:35,080 Speaker 14: we're talking about this vacuum of this laws of the jungle. 1855 01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:37,519 Speaker 14: We're sort of building immunities to that. I have to 1856 01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:40,200 Speaker 14: believe good will win out. Truth will win out. But Walter, 1857 01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:41,799 Speaker 14: it's been an absolute pleasure to Oh. 1858 01:38:41,720 --> 01:38:42,880 Speaker 7: We know it will in the end. 1859 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:47,200 Speaker 1: Well, it's it's the short term.
