We've been to the border. 11 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 3: You haven't been to the border, and I haven't been 12 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 3: to Europe. 13 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 4: You know, we have to stay woke, like everybody needs 14 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 4: to be woke, and you can talk about it if you're 15 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 4: the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than 16 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 4: less woke. 17 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 5: When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans 18 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 5: are better off than they were four years ago? 19 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 4: So I was raised as a middle class kid. An 20 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 4: undocumented immigrant is not a criminal, and we have to 21 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 4: correct course in this conversation, Buona persona not es criminals. 22 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: I will snatch their cabin so that we will take over. 23 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: Yes we can do that, Yes, yes we can do that. 24 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 4: But more important, I'm vice president of the United States. 25 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: A thing that I handle is because it's a tough 26 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 4: of shop. 27 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 6: If I was in Japan with my family having a 28 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 6: wonderful vacation when Jimmy. 29 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: Carter passed, there is not a thing that comes to mind. 30 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 6: So I didn't get to I didn't get to uh 31 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 6: opine on the passing over former president. Now, I fully 32 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 6: understand that some of you are cringing right now lest 33 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 6: I say something negative about the deceased. And I also 34 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 6: understand that some of you are still operating under the 35 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 6: old rules where the most important thing is that you 36 00:02:52,639 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 6: be nice, like you're Patrick Swayzee at the bar in Roadhouse, 37 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 6: because you've been taught at the most important thing, and 38 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 6: this is particularly a white person thing. Got to be nice. 39 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 6: Somebody slaps you in the face, be nice. Someone kicks 40 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 6: you in the gut, be nice. Someone steals the election, 41 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 6: be nice. That's why so many people are afraid to 42 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 6: speak out about election fraud, because we. 43 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: Don't seem nice. 44 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 6: Why so many people don't want criminals sent to prison. 45 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: When the media shows you. 46 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 6: Well, he's got babies that he's made, they would lose 47 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 6: their daddy. 48 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: Oh, we got to be nice. 49 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 6: We'd like to deport these people because a lot of 50 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 6: them are criminals up. Some of them are gonna cry 51 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 6: and they have friends here. Gotta be nice. Being nice 52 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 6: has been the death of our report. It's better you 53 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 6: be principled. Let me ask you this. If Hitler died 54 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 6: tomorrow instead of when he did at the end of 55 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 6: World War Two, would you the next day say we 56 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 6: should be nice. No, you shouldn't, because he was a devil. 57 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 6: It is important that we're honest about things. Did you 58 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 6: notice that upon his death the left attacked Rush Limbaugh 59 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 6: and it upset you because they weren't being nice. And 60 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 6: what did you say? You said, well, we. 61 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: Didn't do that when your people died. We're always nice 62 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: to your people. And you criticize one of our heroes. 63 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: Exactly. 64 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 6: Well, now I'm going to not be nice about Jimmy 65 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 6: Carter because it's important that people who did not live 66 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 6: through his presidency I did, people who have not studied 67 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 6: his presidency, his post presidency I have. It's important that 68 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 6: you understand that this was a very, very bad person. 69 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: And before you turn off saying. 70 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 6: Ooh, I don't want to listen to him speak ill 71 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 6: of the dead, did you know that when Donald Trump 72 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 6: was elected Jimmy Carter called him an illegitimate president. Jimmy 73 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 6: Carter was the biggest election denier in America, the most 74 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 6: prominent election denier in America. He claimed he didn't really win. Oh, 75 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 6: but that was the least of what he did. He 76 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 6: did so many awful things. And so I'd like to 77 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 6: spend some time setting the record straight on Jimmy Carter. 78 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 6: Jimmy Carter was regarded by modern historians accurately as the 79 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 6: worst president in US history, certainly in modern US history, 80 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 6: until Joe Biden came along. By the way, there's a 81 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 6: reason they were both one term presidents. This is a 82 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 6: glowing report by Leslie Stall of sixty minutes after Jimmy 83 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 6: Carter's passing. And I want you to notice that she 84 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 6: uses the same compliment for Carter Democrats that they use 85 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 6: for Joe Biden today. They're going to use the same 86 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 6: argument to prop him up, because it's important that that 87 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 6: be repeated in the living room, at the dinner table, 88 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 6: in the classroom. You know, Carter didn't win a second term, 89 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 6: but he was a good man. No, he wasn't, and 90 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 6: I'll prove it. But first listen to this glowing report 91 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 6: on how great his presidency was. 92 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, she was so unique, A peanut farmer 93 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 7: from Plains Georgia. He won the presidency. I think because 94 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 7: he was the unnixed. We'd just gone through Watergate. Jimmy 95 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 7: Carter said, I'll never lie to you over and over 96 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 7: and over. People think that he was unsuccessful, but he 97 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 7: passed more than most presidents, doing two terms. 98 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: In one term, I. 99 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 8: Had the best batting average in the Congress in recent 100 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 8: history of any president except Linda Johnson. 101 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 7: He saved every hostage that was held in Iran. He 102 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 7: passed landmark legislation, big things like energy policy and giving 103 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 7: back the Panama Canality. He put solar panels on the 104 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 7: roof of the White House back then. I think he's 105 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 7: most proud of the fact that there was peace for 106 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 7: the four years that he was president. 107 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,559 Speaker 8: We never fired a bullet, we never dropped the bomb, 108 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 8: we never launched a missile. 109 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 7: I think he thought he was a great president. President 110 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 7: Carter's lasting legacy comes out of his post presidency. No 111 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 7: one would die. He's one of the great post presidents 112 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 7: we've ever had. He devoted himself to poor people. He 113 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 7: built houses for poor people. He spent his life trying 114 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 7: to get rid of certain diseases in Africa that were 115 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 7: killing people unnecessarily. 116 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: He won the Nobel Peace Prize, not. 117 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 7: When he was president, but after he died, knowing that 118 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 7: he had lived a good life. 119 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 3: No, that he did. 120 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 6: A bad man who did bad things, and I'll prove 121 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 6: it coming up. So Leslie Stall of sixty minutes, what 122 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 6: have you believed that the four years of the Carter 123 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 6: presidency were fantastic? First he led on the issue of energy. 124 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 6: There was an energy crisis during his administration. Get to 125 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 6: that in a moment. He gave the Panama Canal back. 126 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: That's terrible for us. 127 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: We built it. He put so panels on the White House. 128 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: Can you believe it? 129 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? 130 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 6: And then they were removed when he left, and Obama 131 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 6: did it again when he became president. Solar doesn't work. 132 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 6: Would just stop with that already? He brought peace to 133 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 6: the world, he said, are you aware that Iran destabilized 134 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 6: during his presidency? The stable, secular Iran collapsed and the 135 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 6: most disturbing, dangerous Muslim regime in the world replaced it. 136 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: To this day we are dealing with that threat. 137 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 3: That's not peace. 138 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: How about inflation? 139 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 6: Inflation the likes of which we hadn't seen since the 140 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 6: Biden administration. My goodness, do they have so much in common? 141 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 6: How about the creation of the Department of Education. Rag 142 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 6: on that for a moment, because it's an absolute and 143 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 6: utter bust. Jimmy Carter was remembered for one speech he 144 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 6: gave his president. It is commonly called the Crisis of 145 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 6: Confidence speech, but political scientists and media members remember it 146 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 6: as the Malaise Speech. Interestingly, he never used the word malaise. 147 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 6: Malaise is one of those words you don't hear very often. 148 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 6: And when I hear the word malaise, being a political 149 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 6: junkie as I am, the first thing I think of 150 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 6: is Jimmy Carter. In that speech. A malaise is defined 151 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 6: as a general feeling of discomfort, illness, or uneasiness whose 152 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 6: exact cause is difficult to identify. So kind of fibromyalgia, 153 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 6: if you will. The Carter administration will plagued by flu 154 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 6: like symptoms upon the nation. 155 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: You can think of it that way. 156 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 6: The speech was delivered July fifteenth, nineteen seventy nine. People 157 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 6: were down, they were depressed, they were listless. There was 158 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 6: a malaise, and so Jimmy Carter decided Joe Biden one 159 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 6: point zero that he would give a speech talk about 160 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 6: the fact that it was Americans who were at fault here. 161 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: It was your fault that you weren't happy. 162 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 9: It is a crisis of confidence. It is a crisis 163 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 9: that strikes at the very heart and soul and spirit 164 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 9: of our national will. We can see this crisis in 165 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 9: the growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives 166 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 9: and in the loss of a unity of purpose for 167 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 9: our nation. The erosion of our confidence in the future 168 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 9: is threatening to destroy the social and the political fabric 169 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 9: of America. The confidence that we have always had as 170 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 9: a people is not simply some romantic dream or a 171 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 9: proverb and a dusty book that we read just on 172 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 9: the fourth of July. It is the idea which founded 173 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 9: our nation and has guided our development as a people. 174 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 9: Confidence in the future has supported everything else, public institutions 175 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 9: and private enterprise, our own families, and the very constitution 176 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 9: of the United States. Confidence has defined our course and 177 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 9: has served as a link. 178 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 6: Sounds inspiring, doesn't it real inspiring? The economy was so 179 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 6: bad under Jimmy Carter that Dan Ackroyd, a star of 180 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 6: Saturday Night Live at the time, explained inflation while impersonating 181 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,959 Speaker 6: then President Jimmy Carter on Saturday Night Live. 182 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 10: Inflation is our friend. For example, consider this in the air. 183 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 10: Two thousand. Of current trends continued, the average blue collar 184 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 10: annual wage in this country will be five hundred and 185 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 10: sixty eight thousand dollars. Think what this inflated world of 186 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 10: the future will mean? Most Americans will be millionaires. Everyone 187 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 10: will feel like a big shock. Wouldn't you like to 188 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 10: own a four thousand dollars suit and smoke up seventy 189 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 10: five dollars to god drive a six hundred thousand dollars 190 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 10: cor I know I would. But what about people on 191 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 10: fixed incomes? They have always been the true victims of inflation. 192 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 10: That's why I will present to Congress the Inflation Maintenance Program, 193 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 10: where by the US Treasury will make up any inflation 194 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 10: cost losses through direct tax rebates to the public in cash. Now, 195 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 10: you may say, won't that cost a lot of money? 196 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 10: Won't that increase the deficit? Sure it will, But so what, 197 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 10: We'll just print more money. We have the papers, we 198 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 10: have the mints. I can just call up the Bureau 199 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 10: of Engrave it and say, Hi, this is Jimmy. 200 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 3: Roll off some of them twenties. 201 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 10: Print up a couple of thousand sheets of those censory notes. Sure, 202 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 10: the glot of dollars will cause even more inflection, but 203 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 10: who cares. 204 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 3: Everybody'll be a millionaire. 205 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 6: So yes, the Carter presidency was a terrible four years 206 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 6: for America January of seventy seven until January of eighty one, 207 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 6: when Ronald Reagan took over and the company the country 208 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 6: went into a boom. Company's boomed, individuals boomed. But wait, 209 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 6: what about since he was president? He was such a 210 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 6: good man, right? Scott Jennings laid that clear, laid that 211 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 6: low on CNN. 212 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 5: Let me preface my take by offering condolences to the 213 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 5: Carter family and on his death. He was obviously one 214 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 5: of the most unique post presidencies we ever had, because 215 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 5: he lived so long and he did so much that 216 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 5: I hadn't been said. He was a terrible president. That's 217 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 5: why I lost in a landslide after his one term. 218 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 5: And if it's possible, I think he was even a 219 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 5: worse ex president because of his meddling in US foreign policy, 220 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 5: because of his saddling up to dictators around the world, 221 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 5: because of his vehement views, anti Israel views, and more 222 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 5: than dabbling in anti Semitism. Over the years, he often 223 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 5: vexed Democrats. Obama didn't even have him speak at his 224 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 5: oweight convention. He put Bill Clinton in a terrible foreign 225 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 5: policy box on a North Korea nuclear issue. I think 226 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 5: he was a guy who had a huge ego and 227 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 5: believed that he was uniquely positioned to do all these things, 228 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 5: even after the American people had roundly and soundly rejected 229 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 5: his leadership. 230 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 2: So I respect people. 231 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 5: Who run for president and get elected president, but in 232 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 5: his particular case, I think he time it again proved 233 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 5: why he was never suited. 234 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 3: For the office. In the first before you jump up 235 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 3: to the Persian. 236 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 5: Gulf War, he wrote letters, yeah I know about this 237 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 5: to all of our allies and to Arab states, asking 238 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 5: them to abandon their cooperation and coalition with the United 239 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 5: States of America. If it's not treason US, it's borderline treasons. 240 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 5: And so I hear what you're saying about the humanitarianism. 241 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 5: But when you're an ex president and you have served 242 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 5: in that office, I think you have a duty to 243 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 5: the United States and only to the United States. And 244 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 5: when he did that and other instances. To me, it 245 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 5: showed that he cared more about his own legacy than 246 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 5: he did about the country. 247 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 3: And I think that is long. This is at to 248 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 3: Michael Berry. 249 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 6: So Jimmy Carter, you may not agree that his presidency 250 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 6: was great, but he was a good man after he 251 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 6: was president. So we're told, how about when he said 252 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 6: this after Donald Trump was elected? 253 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 11: There's no doubt that the Russians did interfair in election. 254 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 11: I think the interference, although not yet quantified, I have 255 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 11: fully an investigated, would show that Trump then actually win 256 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 11: the election. In twenty sixteen, he lost the election and 257 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 11: he was put in the office because of Russian's interfare 258 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 11: on his behalf. 259 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 6: See do you believe President Trump is an illegitimate president? 260 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 11: Face on what I just said was I can retrct. 261 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: Remember when Ronald Reagan defined what recovery means. 262 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 12: That Carter record is a litany of despair, of broken promises, 263 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 12: of sacred trusts abandoned and forgotten. His answer to all 264 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 12: this misery, he tries to tell us that we're only 265 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 12: in a recession, not a depression, as if definitions words 266 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 12: relieve our suffering. Let it show on the record that 267 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 12: when the American people cried out for economic help. Jimmy 268 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 12: Carter took refuge behind a dictionary. Well, if it's a 269 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 12: definition he wants, I'll give him one. A recession is 270 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 12: when your neighbor loses his job, A depression is when 271 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 12: you lose yours, and recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses. 272 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 6: His Speaking of Reagan, there's an appearance that Ramon came 273 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 6: across The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson a while back, 274 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 6: and we've been looking for an opportunity to play it. 275 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 3: Let's do it here. 276 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 6: All these years later, it's a little longer than we 277 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 6: would normally play. All these years later, it is still 278 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 6: as relevant as ever today. 279 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 2: This was Ronald Reagan on The Tonight. 280 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 13: Show when you and I were boys back in the Midwest. 281 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 13: Government's federal, state, and local. We're only taking about fifteen 282 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 13: cents out of every dollar earned. Today, they're taking almost 283 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 13: half of every dollar earned in the United States, and 284 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 13: most people don't realize it because the taxes are hidden 285 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 13: in the so called business taxes. You know, the politician 286 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 13: that stands up and yells, oh, let's save the little man. 287 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 13: Let's tax business and everybody else are ready. They haven't 288 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 13: figured out that every tax on business is just a 289 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 13: part of the cost of production, and the customer winds 290 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 13: up paying it when he buys the product. It's a 291 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 13: hidden sales tanp There's one hundred and sixteen of them 292 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 13: in the suit of clothes that each one of us 293 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 13: is learn. 294 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 3: Suppose a lot. 295 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: Of the economists who suggested, and I don't know they'll 296 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: ever come to be in this country, that they're if 297 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: they closed all of the loopholes and for corporations and 298 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: maybe tax loopholes, and even on their rich certain loopholes, 299 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: and made a percentage income and made a flat feed 300 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: without all of the deductions, that the government might raise 301 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: as much money as they do now. 302 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 3: Oh sure, And really the loopholes. This has been overdone 303 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 3: by the politicians too. 304 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 13: The bulk of the money that is taken by what 305 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 13: are called loopholes, and the legitimate deductions with which if 306 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 13: the people didn't have them, they couldn't pay their income tax, 307 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 13: interest on their mortgage, interest on the installments on their car, 308 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 13: their property taxes on their home if they have one, 309 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,479 Speaker 13: and so forth. These are politicians as loopholes. But we 310 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 13: ought to have tax reform, and we ought to start 311 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 13: by making it so simple that you don't have to 312 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 13: hire a lawyer to find out. 313 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 3: How much you owe every year. That's for sure. It 314 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 3: used to be we could bet a little setifiate by 315 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 3: at Johnny. 316 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 13: We live in the only country in the world it 317 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 13: takes more brains to figure out your income tax than 318 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 13: it does earn the income. 319 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 3: I'd be right. 320 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 13: We've gotten in the habit over the last forty years 321 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 13: of thinking the government has the answers. There's very little 322 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 13: that government can do as efficiently and is economically as 323 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 13: the people can do themselves. And if government would shut 324 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 13: the doors and sneak away for about three weeks, we'd 325 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 13: never miss them. Our biggest problem is that we have 326 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 13: built a permanent structure of government, federal, state, and local. 327 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 3: The permanent employees. 328 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 13: And that come to the place that they actually determine 329 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 13: policy in this country more than does the Congress of 330 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 13: the United States. 331 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 3: There are fourteen and. 332 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 13: A half million public employees in the United States. That's 333 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 13: quite a voting block. And the bureaus and agencies not 334 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 13: in Washington. I heard you talking earlier about some of 335 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 13: the research programs. What would you say if I told 336 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 13: you about one a study in which this was called the. 337 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 3: Demography of Happiness. 338 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 13: And in this study, the government found out that young 339 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 13: people are happier. 340 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 3: In older people. 341 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,719 Speaker 13: They found out that people that earn more or happier 342 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 13: than people that earn less. And they found out that 343 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 13: well people are happier. 344 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 3: Than six people. That's good. 345 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 13: Life was two hundred and forty nine thousand dollars to 346 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 13: find out it's better to be rich, young and healthy 347 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 13: than old poorns. A poll was taken recently that found 348 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 13: out that only forty six percent of the people in 349 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 13: the pool could name their United States congressman. 350 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: But what was worse, eighty six percent of. 351 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 13: Those who could name him couldn't tell you a single 352 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 13: thing that he represented or stood for. 353 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 3: They just knew that he represented the faith. But he 354 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 3: was a congressman. But what's he doing while he's up there? 355 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 13: And the same is true at the at the local 356 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 13: levels of government and all the rest. 357 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: So you say people really. 358 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: Have to take an active interest, You have to have 359 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: citizensation groups locally and let them know. 360 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 3: It's certain specialist groups. 361 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 13: Now, the special interest groups, as everyone thought, big powerful 362 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 13: business interests are something that are going to persuade government 363 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 13: to do things. As a matter of fact, I don't 364 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 13: know anyone with less influence today in government than business. 365 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: They're just a convenient whipping point. 366 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 13: But it's the groups that have got a particular acts 367 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 13: to You can't have a power plant because it might 368 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 13: interfere with the seagulls. Now, I think I'm an environmentalist, 369 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 13: and I do not agree with those people way over 370 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 13: in the edge who paved the whole country over in 371 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 13: the name of progress. But also I don't like those 372 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 13: on the other extreme that will let you build a 373 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 13: house unless it looks like a bird's nest. 374 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 3: Well someplace in. 375 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 13: The middle, we got to allow people are ecology too well, 376 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 13: this kind of group, and they want their particular program. 377 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 3: Hundreds of dollars have been added to the. 378 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 13: Cost of an automobile putting gadgets on it to clear 379 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 13: up the air. We're the only country in the world 380 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 13: that's set out to do it that way. When budget 381 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 13: deficits are what's causing inflation, I don't see that there's 382 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 13: any room to be on either. 383 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 3: Side of that argument. 384 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 13: I think the answer to curing inflation is a balanced budget. 385 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: No, how do you do that? 386 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 13: I mean, it's not how do you balance the budget. Well, 387 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 13: balancing the budget is like protecting at more. Let me 388 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 13: take it right now, it's like protecting your virtue. You 389 00:22:50,240 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 13: have to learn to say no, there's got to be 390 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 13: other way. What's the second option? Well, no, there's some 391 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 13: ways that this could be brought about. First of all, 392 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 13: the limitation here, here's another one. Why shouldn't we have, 393 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 13: in addition to a simplified income text, why shouldn't we 394 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 13: also have a law that says that anytime a legislator 395 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 13: or a congressman introduces a spending program, he has to 396 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 13: introduce with it a tax program to pay for it, 397 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 13: and let the people find out. There was a woman 398 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 13: that from a financial firm that was back at the 399 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 13: President's Economic Council, and her words weren't quoted. 400 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 3: Everybody else's words got in the. 401 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 13: Paper, all the Heller's and the gall Breaths and all 402 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 13: the so called economists. And I have a degree in economics, 403 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 13: so I can say this. 404 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 3: I think an economist is. 405 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 13: Someone who has a phive data kapake on one end 406 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 13: of his watchchain and no watch on the other. This 407 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 13: woman said that you go to the polls and you 408 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 13: ask the people do they want some social service, some 409 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 13: program that government can give and the people in the 410 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 13: polls are apt to read and say that sounds good. Yeah, 411 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 13: But she says that isn't exactly accurate. 412 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 3: She says, put a one hundred dollars. 413 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 13: Bill in each person's hand and then show them the 414 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 13: program and say, now, isn't that a nice program? 415 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 3: Do you want it? Give me the one hundred dollars, 416 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 3: And she says, see what the poll. 417 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 13: Says then, and how many people hang on with one 418 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 13: hundred dollars instead of the program? 419 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: In other word, that it's rather hidden than someone doesn't 420 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: know exactly where it go. 421 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 12: I come. 422 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 3: They all start all the government programs. 423 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 13: Start a dollar down and we'll catch you later, and 424 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 13: they multiply all of those things that you were. The 425 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 13: Office of Management and Budget in Washington that's responsible for 426 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 13: the budget putting the budget together, cannot even tell you 427 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 13: how many boards, commissions, agencies, bureaus, and departments there are 428 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 13: in the federal government. But all of them can pass regulations, 429 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 13: and those regulations have the force of law. And the 430 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 13: difference is when you break the law, you're innocent until 431 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 13: proven guilty. When you break a regulation, the fellow the 432 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 13: charges you with breaking the regulation, you're guilty, and if 433 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 13: you want to take him to court and prove your innocent, 434 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 13: that's up to you. And all of these are things 435 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 13: that yes, we can trim the budget. There's enough fat 436 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 13: in the federal government that if you rendered it, you 437 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 13: could wash the world. Maybe it's time for realignment between 438 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 13: people who might be find themselves in the wrong parties. 439 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 13: Maybe there's some people still voting. I was a Democrat 440 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 13: most of my life. I became a Republican only not 441 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 13: too many years ago. And I had the pleasure of 442 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 13: telling some of those people that are saying the Republican 443 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 13: Party ought to broaden this base the other day that 444 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 13: when I switched parties, I didn't do it because the 445 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 13: two parties were alike. 446 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 3: I did it because they were different from Michael Berry jokes. 447 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 6: So breaking news today, Malania Trump New York Post reports 448 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 6: signs whopping forty million dollar documentary deal with Amazon with 449 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 6: cameos from Baron and Donald. A forty million dollar deal. 450 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 6: My friend Buck Sexton notes that means the widespread corporate 451 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 6: boycott of all things Trump has been broken. 452 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 2: This is just the beginning. 453 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 6: You see, Fascism is when you have private companies, but 454 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 6: they are run at the direction of the government. The 455 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 6: Chinese Communist Party engaged in some private company ownership rather 456 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 6: than state ownership as a hybrid to jumpstart their economy, 457 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 6: and it worked. But make no mistake, they still have 458 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 6: to do the bidding of the government. This is what 459 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 6: happened during COVID when the government would use their power 460 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 6: over companies, not just government employees, to stay. Hey, you 461 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 6: want that bailout, you want that subsidy, you want this 462 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 6: regulation to continue to be eased off, you better require 463 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 6: the clock shop. Companies wouldn't touch Trump or you because 464 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 6: you were evil, and they would be boycotted, all the 465 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 6: while undertaking DEI programs. 466 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: Well, now you've. 467 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 6: Seen the list of companies that have rolled back their 468 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 6: DEI policies, Companies that never should have had them in 469 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 6: the first place. 470 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 2: Tractor supply, are you kid? 471 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 6: You ever been in a tractor supply Nobody that believes 472 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 6: in DEI nonsense is shopping at tractor supply for what 473 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 6: tractor supply offers. Well, Meta, which is Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg 474 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 6: has been begging at the feet of Donald Trump to 475 00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 6: get back amongst respectable company So we got Amazon. Jeff 476 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 6: Bisos signing a big deal with Milania. Oh, his liberal 477 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 6: buddies aren't gonna like that. And now you've got Mark 478 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 6: Zuckerberg at Facebook saying, I see the writing on the wall. 479 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 6: We're going to do away with our fact checkers. It 480 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 6: was a bad program and it didn't work. Think you 481 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 6: would have done that if Kamala went one, of course not. 482 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 6: They banned my biggest account. I had to start back over. 483 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 6: They banned it at this election. They did it in 484 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 6: twenty twenty. They let me back on after twenty twenty. 485 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 6: Now they took away my biggest account, so I had 486 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 6: to start over from scratch. 487 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 2: Well, Michael, how come you don't leave them behind? I should. 488 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 6: But Facebook is an opportunity for me to share articles, graphics, photos, 489 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 6: engagement with listeners in a way that I can't do 490 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 6: on the radio. So I got all these radio listeners 491 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 6: and most people email me. They know, go to Michael 492 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 6: Berryshow dot com and email me. But if I want 493 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 6: to post a picture and share it, I do that 494 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 6: on my daily Blast, which is my mail outlist, and 495 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 6: I do it on Facebook. And I did that with 496 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 6: a lot of political commentary, and they were fine with 497 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 6: me doing it. They were monetizing it all the way 498 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 6: up till the first week of October, right before the election, 499 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 6: and they shut me down. Apparently I had violated their policies. 500 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 6: They wouldn't tell me how, but that's what they do. 501 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 6: So here is Mark Zuckerberg begging and saying, maya culpa, 502 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 6: maya culpa. You know, the fact checking that we were doing, 503 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 6: which was censorship. We weren't really getting it right. 504 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 14: It's time to get back to our roots around free 505 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 14: expression on Facebook and Instagram. I started building social media 506 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 14: to give people a voice. I gave a speech at 507 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 14: Georgetown five years ago about the importance of protecting free 508 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 14: expression and I still believe this today. But a lot 509 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,959 Speaker 14: has happened over the last several years. There's been widespread 510 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 14: debate about potential harms from online content. Governments and legacy 511 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 14: media have pushed to censor more and more. A lot 512 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 14: of this is clearly political, but there's also a lot 513 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 14: of legitimately bad stuff out there. Drugs, terrorism, child exploitation. 514 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 14: These are things that we take very seriously and I 515 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 14: want to make sure that we handle responsibly. So we 516 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 14: built a lot of complex systems to moderate content. But 517 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 14: the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes. Even 518 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 14: if they accidentally censored just one percent of posts, that's 519 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 14: millions of people, and we've reached a point where it's 520 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 14: just too many mistakes and too much censorship. The recent 521 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 14: elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once 522 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 14: again prioritizing speech. So we're going to get back to 523 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 14: our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, 524 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 14: and restoring free expression on our platforms. More specifically, here's 525 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 14: what we're going to do. First, we're going to get 526 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 14: rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes 527 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 14: similar to X. Starting in the US, after Trump first 528 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 14: got elected in twenty sixteen, the legacy media wrote non 529 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 14: stop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. We tried, 530 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 14: in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the 531 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 14: arbiters of truth, but the fact checkers have just been 532 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 14: too politically biased and have destroyed more trusts than they've created, 533 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 14: especially in the US. So over the next couple of months, 534 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 14: we're going to phase in a more comprehensive community notes system. Okay, 535 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 14: we're going to simplify our content policies and get rid 536 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 14: of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and 537 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 14: gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse. 538 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 14: What started as a movement to be more inclusive has 539 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 14: increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out 540 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 14: people with different ideas, and it's gone too far. So 541 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 14: I want to make sure that people can share their 542 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 14: beliefs and experiences on our platforms. 543 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 6: So what he's saying is Facebook is going to become 544 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 6: more like Twitter because Twitter is blowing up and Facebook 545 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 6: is dying. Facebook is mostly left to grandma's posting pictures 546 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 6: of their grandkids and kids who've moved away from home 547 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 6: posting pictures of their kids for grandma to see. And 548 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 6: that's fine, there's a place for that. In fact, that's 549 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 6: mostly what I still use it for. But it's not 550 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 6: a place to engage, to share ideas. To iron sharpens 551 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 6: iron a crucible of concepts. Because you heard what he said, 552 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 6: our attempts to be inclusive turned out to have the 553 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 6: opposite effect. That's what the left does. Oh don't say 554 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 6: that you've hurt my feelings is a nice way of saying, 555 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 6: only say what I say, and everything else should be 556 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 6: shut down. And by the way, what I say today tomorrow, 557 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 6: I might decide up that wasn't good, So that's not 558 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 6: allowed to be said anymore. You can only say what 559 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 6: I say, which is Biden is great, Kamala is great, 560 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 6: Liberalism is great. Chopping off your kids weener is great, 561 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 6: making your daughter into a boy is great. 562 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 2: White people can't have any jobs. 563 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 6: Only blacks, and preferably black lesbian. 564 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: Dudes who were born as men. 565 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 6: Boys should be allowed to play against girls and injure 566 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 6: them and have unfair advantages. Welfare should boom, but not 567 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 6: for white people. 568 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: Our border should be wide open. 569 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 6: That's anything other than that is not sufficiently inclusive. That 570 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 6: is Unamerican. And I am so proud of you because 571 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 6: you won this election. You took back your workplaces. You 572 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 6: as a consumer, as an employer, as an American, fought 573 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 6: back and this is a win. 574 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 2: Congratulations
