00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,640

00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: sexton dot com and remember to subscribe to the podcast.

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Welcome my friends. Mere days away from the big one

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: election day, over eighty million people voting early anticipation could

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: not be any higher. I cannot remember an election in

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: my lifetime where there was such such a focus on

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: this from so many people in so many quarters. I

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: think in part because we're all stuck more than ever

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: at home, no distractions of big groups and concerts and

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: crowds and things like that, less sports, less connectivity with

13
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: each other. So what do we have this intense focus

14
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: on our politics? And also the truth is that our

15
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: politics might end up either freeing us or making us

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: even more lockdown and miserable. So that's a big choice

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: that we face right now. And that's something that's gone

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: on here. I want to start with the Hunter Biden

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: money laundering allegations, though it just came out yesterday, and

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: a hat tip to James Rosen over at Sinclair for

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: being a guy that broke this story. Says the FBI,

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: at least FBI sources have confirmed to him that there

23
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: was in twenty nineteen, an open money laundering investigation of

24
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. Now, now this is big for a lot

25
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: of reasons. And let me first just say that there

26
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: is zero interest, zero interest in the media and touching

27
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: any of this. In fact, NBC News has put forward

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: some sixty some odd page disinformation, fake intelligence thing that

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: they're debunking. The fake intelligence. They say, no one's even

30
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: heard of this or seeing this before. But their claim is, well,

31
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: because we found something on the internet that isn't true

32
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: about Hunter Biden. Clearly that means that what you guys

33
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: all think you have with this verified laptop and the

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: emails and the photos and the on the record sources

35
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: saying yeah, that's me, that must be disinformation too. Yeah,

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: NBC News putting out disinformation to say they're fighting disinformation,

37
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: which is pretty much where we are now with the

38
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: journalists in this country. In fact, journalism is never going

39
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: to recover from what the journals have done to it.

40
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: That's where we find ourselves. Doesn't matter who wins a selection,

41
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: it's not going to change. We see who they are,

42
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: we know what they're doing, and this Hunter Biden situation

43
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: has broken any any last defense they have of well,

44
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: we still try to present just the facts. We still

45
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: try to be honest with people about what's going on

46
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: and not bring our partisan bias to it. So here's

47
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: why the money laundering situation so fascinating. First of all,

48
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense when you see what we already

49
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: know that there would be. There would be on the

50
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: record sources talking about millions and millions of dollars changing

51
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: hands with a Chinese company setting up LLCs. What exactly

52
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: was Hunter Biden's supposed to be paid for here consulting services?

53
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, how different is this really from the Chinese

54
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: Communist Party saying we're going to start buying Hunter Biden's

55
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: finger paintings at a million dollars a pop, because that's

56
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: about what Hunter Biden's consulting is worth. So clearly something

57
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: is up. We've known that all along. This is not

58
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: the market speaking, this is an influenced peddling scheme. And

59
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: as I have been saying, how is this not illegal?

60
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: At least someone involved in all of this must have

61
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: been engaged in quid pro quo corruption. The answer to

62
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: the question is already knows it's not illegal, because they

63
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: won't charge it, or at least they haven't been willing

64
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: to yet. And that's how the Democrats play the game.

65
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: The law is just a function of who's in charge

66
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: and what you can get away with at any point

67
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: in time. That's what the laws really about. There's no

68
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: underlying foundational right wrong. There's no greater goal or greater good.

69
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: It's who's got the power to get what they want

70
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: when they want it. But think about this. The United

71
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: States Congress, with a Democrat majority in the House of course,

72
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: on a party line vote impeach the President of the

73
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: United States, and then Senate Democrats plus Mitt Romney Rhino

74
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: voted to remove President Trump from office because he requested

75
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: a foreign counterpart look into allegations that there was corruption

76
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: going on with Hunter Biden. They said this was all fake.

77
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: You remember this. They pushed this whole impeachment narrative by

78
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: promising the American people, the Democrats, the journos, the mainstream media.

79
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: They promised, They assured us there's nothing there, there's no

80
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: corruption whatsoever. He was trying to get the Ukrainian government

81
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: to manufacture corruption allegations. Here's the problem, friends, that never

82
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: made any sense. It was always an obvious lie. But

83
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: now we can prove it, because what you really have

84
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: is the president of the United States talking to a

85
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: foreign counterpart on the phone and asking about something that

86
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: not only should have been investigated by Ukrainian authorities, but

87
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: was under investigation already by US federal authorities. Sorry, there's

88
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: no exemption for Hunter. Biden gets to break the law

89
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: because it would look bad for Daddy. That doesn't exist,

90
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: and yet this information did not come out. I will

91
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: ask you this, and we all know the answer, but

92
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: it's worth posing the question anyway. What do you think

93
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: would have happened if Donald Trump Junior was under federal

94
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: investigation for money laundering while Donald Trump was running or

95
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: while Donald Trump was president? Do you think that that

96
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: information would have stayed under wraps? Do you think that

97
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: would have been kept quiet? No? As we know, there

98
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: are deep state democrat and leftists out there who will

99
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: break their oath to the Constitution to attack this president.

100
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: They will disclose classified information, They will violate the privacy

101
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: of American citizens using the intelligence apparatus to do so,

102
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: as we saw with General Flynn and the leaks that

103
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: were published in the Washington Post about his phone call. Again,

104
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: another phone call. Nothing wrong with it, He said nothing

105
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: wrong and he did not lie. Yet he's still facing prosecution.

106
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: Yet he's still facing this Kafka esque nightmare of a

107
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: judge who won't allow the prosecution to end the case.

108
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: It's also transparent, now, isn't it. It's also very clear.

109
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: Whatever it takes, it if heat Trump, however, they have

110
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: to lie. However, they have to change the subject when

111
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: that's necessary, whatever they have to do to stop President Trump.

112
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: The mainstream media, the Democrat Party entirely justifies it. Whatever works.

113
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was under FBI money loaning investigation, and they

114
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: impeach the president of the United States based upon the

115
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: premise that he was creating. He was fabricating the possibility

116
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: that the then vice president's son was going around the

117
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: world collecting millions of dollars for nothing other than a bribe.

118
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 1: Let's use the b word, folks. It was a bribe.

119
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: Get your dad to like us, get your dad to

120
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: do what we want, get your dad to be in

121
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: our pocket. Here's a million bucks, here's five million bucks,

122
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: ten million, whatever it is. Yeah, venal corrupt people friends,

123
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: that's who they've offered up to take over for Trump.

124
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: And remember, the biggest pitch they give you for Joe

125
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: Biden is you can trust him. He's a good guy.

126
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: He's an honorable he's an honorable guy. That's just all

127
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: a fraud, that's all branding, it's all pr as I've

128
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: been telling you along, Joe Biden's just about Joe Biden.

129
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: Everything else is a distraction. Everything else is a complete myth.

130
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: And now we see it with the Hunter Biden FBI investigation.

131
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: I must just say this money laundering. If you get

132
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: caught doing it, penalties are very severe. And when you're

133
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: moving money from overseas into newly constituted LLCs and taking

134
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: consulting fees, and that's all, that's all the kind of

135
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: stuff that raises red flags when they're doing financial audits,

136
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: when they're doing a forensic analysis of your financial activity,

137
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: something I know a bit about from my days working

138
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: in the counter terrorism beat. When you start looking at

139
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: bank accounts and money, one of the ways you get

140
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: people is on their financial crimes. And there's a lot

141
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: of ways that this can go very badly for somebody

142
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: who happens to come under the eye of the federal

143
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: government on this issue. And then there's the other possibility

144
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: and one that I don't think we'll find out before

145
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: the election, but it completely it would add up. Would

146
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: Hunter Bidens under investigation for money laundering? You don't think

147
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: that there's any way that maybe they created a dummy LLC,

148
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: just a straightforward limited liability corporation for consulting services from

149
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: China or from Ukraine or wherever. Notice how it's always

150
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: these countries too that are shady and corrupt and have

151
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: opposition to us interests at heart. You know he's not

152
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: doing these consulting agreements with the French. You know he's

153
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: not doing them with Canada. But if you were going

154
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: to try to funnel money to the big guy, you

155
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: know what you'd have to do. You'd have to create

156
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: pass throughs in LLC's. You'd have to engage in money

157
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: laundering to hide the source of money to get it

158
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: to him. And if you thought that nobody would ever

159
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: look into your stuff, and that the guy you were

160
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: passing money to was either going to be the most

161
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: powerful man in the world or close friend of the

162
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: most powerful people in the world, you might even engage

163
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: in a bit of recklessness. You might even have a

164
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: bit of hubris about what you could get away with.

165
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: You might even be Hunter Biden. Thanks for listening to

169
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: It was a wonderful birthday President for Hillary Clinton to

170
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: confirm Amycomey Barrett to the Supreme Court. Monday died on

171
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: her birthday. Oh, I'm sure she was so grateful. Cocaine.

172
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: Mitch led to Hillary no, throwing a brush back pitch

173
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: to Hillary there, letting her no, that's right. Still not

174
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: President Hillary. I like when Mitch gets a little feisty.

175
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: I like when Mitch decides to let it rip a bit. Friends.

176
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: The only the only way we get justice, the only

177
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: way we get to a place here where there's accountability

178
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: for all the lies that have been told in the media,

179
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: is if we win. We won with Amy Coney Barrett,

180
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: and we need to win both the presidency and the

181
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: Senate majority need to keep it or else It's gonna

182
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: be a tough four years. I'm not gonna lie to you.

183
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna be rough. It's not going to go the

184
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: way it should. For this country right now. It's in

185
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: part because the elites are entirely unrepentant about any of this.

186
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: Even Bernie Sanders out there, who's worth a few million

187
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: dollars himself, he's admitting that, Yeah, you know what, the

188
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Democrat Party is the party of coastal elites, play too

189
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: if you're making a very important point that is not

190
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: made often enough to be honest with him, and that

191
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: is I think it is fair to say that in

192
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: many ways the Democratic Party has become a party of

193
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: the coastal elites, folks who have a lot of money

194
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: up the middle class, people who are good people, who

195
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: believe in social justice in many respects. But I think

196
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: for many, many years, the Democratic Party has not paid

197
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: the kind of attention to working class needs that they

198
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: should have. See, the Democrat Party is controlled by people

199
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: who don't care about working class people, aren't working class people,

200
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: and want to do whatever they can to make sure

201
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: that they don't suffer from any of the social maladies

202
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: that they inflict on working class people, whether it's they're

203
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: defunding the police or unrestricted illegal immigration or all these

204
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: different things. They want to make sure that they get

205
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: to live in very wealthy enclaves watch CNN or MSNBC

206
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: at night and think that they're good people because they

207
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: care so much about the poor people. And they just

208
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: convinced the poorer people, the people who are low wage

209
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: or low income or whatever, whatever the preferred nomenclature is

210
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: of the moment. They want to convince people that are

211
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: in the struggle. Let's say that, say that, I say

212
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: that respectfully, people that are struggling to make it happen,

213
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: make it all come together. Democrats want to convince them

214
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: that they care about them. Really for the benefit of

215
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: Democrat power, and also because the people that run that

216
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: party like to feel good about themselves. They have no

217
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: connect it doesn't matter to them. They don't live in

218
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: poor neighborhoods, they don't live in high crime areas. But

219
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: what they've managed to do is convince a substantial portion

220
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: of the low income Americans. Remember, most low income Americans

221
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: are white. I think that's often left out and discussions

222
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: about this, But they've they've managed to convince a large

223
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: portion of low income Americans who are non white that

224
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: they must vote against Republicans just because Republicans are racist.

225
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: That's the real pitch Republicans don't like you for who

226
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: you are, a vicious lie, but that is what they've done.

227
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: The identity politics that they rely on is toxic but

228
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: useful for them, right, And so that's where we continue

229
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: to be with all of this. That's why Bernie Sanders

230
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: even recognizes, you know, the wokeness this is going to be.

231
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: This is a self fulfilling prophecy for the Democrat Party

232
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: where no one is going to be acceptable to the

233
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: inner circle of a Democrat Party. It's going to just

234
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: keep consuming itself, kind of like the Soviets and the

235
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: Politboro under Stalin, and no one is going to be

236
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: left wing enough if they get their way, and so

237
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: they're just going to go through these constant spasms, these

238
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: moments of panic, things like the BLM rise this year.

239
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you know all the left wing Oh

240
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: anything for BLM and corporate America, everyone bending the knee?

241
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: Did that help working class people? Did BLM make any

242
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: neighborhood say for him? And that's really the biggest political

243
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: contribution you could say this year from the Democrat Party.

244
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: That and terrifying everybody beyond reason about COVID nineteen. So BLM,

245
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: that's a movement that's supposed to be about helping the oppressed,

246
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: and it's supposed to be about defending those who can't

247
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: defend themselves. Very worthy goals if that's in fact what's

248
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: going on. Did that happen, No, it didn't happen. What

249
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: really did occur as the result of people who are

250
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money to be in newsrooms or

251
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: on air conditioned, comfortable TV sets with lots of lighting

252
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: and hair and makeup assistance and everything, talked a lot

253
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: to other people who can work remotely at home and

254
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: still get their paychecks and you know, have plenty of

255
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: money to spend on the fanciest lattes to convince them

256
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: that you know, they're the good people because they care

257
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: about BLM. That's the whole system. It's all a charade.

258
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: Didn't do anything, and poor neighborhoods, minority minority majority neighborhoods

259
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: that have high crime rates, didn't do anything for them.

260
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: It helped them. And in a sense, that's just a microcosm,

261
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: or that's just another piece of I think very compelling

262
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: evidence about what the Democrat Party has become today. Well,

263
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's either talking about jobs and helping people and

264
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I'm gonna take more stuff from you,

265
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: give it to some other people, make sure they get

266
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: their votes as a result of that. Tell people that,

267
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Republicans don't like them because of their ethnicity,

268
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: their race, their religion, whatever it may be. Identity politics,

269
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 1: the you know, spreading the virus of spiteful identity politics,

270
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: which is what Democrats do. It's also destructive. It's really

271
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: quite ironic that the Biden campaign's slogan is build back better,

272
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: because like so many things you see from Democrats, they're

273
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: telling you the exact opposite of what the truth will be. Now,

274
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: they're not gonna build back better. They're just gonna take

275
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: more from you and give it to other people and

276
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: then make sure that they get their vote in the process,

277
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: and that's all that matters, and not even make their

278
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: lives better. You're in the freedom Hunt. This is the

279
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: best of Buck Daily Podcast, the top stories of the

280
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: day from the Buck Sexton Show. Hey, let's check in

281
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: on bro Cuomo for a while. A ka Fredo over

282
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: at c n N the journalists or a commentator, I

283
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: don't know. We should ask We should ask CNN Media

284
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Relations that a bunch of jerks, but your erie is

285
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you this is going to be

286
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of excited when Cuomo starts talking like this play

287
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: clip five. His messages take reality with the pandemic as reality.

288
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: That's why he's been hesitant out on the hustings because

289
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: it's a weird mixed message. If you bring people into

290
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: a group where they can get exposed, how are you

291
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: about recognizing the pandemic. That's why his crowds look like

292
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: this in Florida today. You got a masked up their distance.

293
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: Some are sitting in their cars. Is a new era, right,

294
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: I mean, we know rallies are not a good thing,

295
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: so it's like the era of the drive in rally. Now.

296
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: Trump is literally sir reality, it is surreal. If he wins.

297
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: It is a figurative middle finger to Math and to

298
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: covid an acceptance of the is what it is, recklessness

299
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: as this virus continues to wreck us and is an

300
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: extended middle finger. But it's mostly to the media, the

301
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: lives of the Democrats. So he was close, He was close,

302
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: But I love it to Math. Also, where was where

303
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: is the Inn? A middle finger commentary from Cuomo when

304
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: there were thousands, hundreds of thousands of people when you

305
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: add up all the different cities gathering together all summer

306
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: for BLM protests. Remember that, Oh but that was important. Yeah,

307
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: that's delusional. It was destructive, and it was based in lies.

308
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: But important, they tell you. Yeah, that's pretty fun, isn't it.

309
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: They act like we don't remember this. They relate to

310
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: believe the left wing talking points on COVID. You just

311
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: have to not have a memory. That's very important. You

312
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: have to forget what you've been told for the last year,

313
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: what they've been saying, and what has been actually happening

314
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: all around you. That's something that you must do. For example,

315
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean Chris Cuomo continues here with his version of

316
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: why people don't want to wear masks. Play six. Look,

317
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: vote your conscience, vote for Biden, vote for Trump. As

318
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: long as it's fair and they're counted. Works for me.

319
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: But please don't see defying masks as a way of

320
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: showing support for Trump. Don't get yourself sick to show

321
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: a sign of support. And look, the same people who

322
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: want to come after me for going for runs without

323
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: a mask, and look, that's fair, that's fair. I don't

324
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: wear the mask. People should call me out on it.

325
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, But the same people are neglecting

326
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: to tell you that this president is putting you in jeopardy.

327
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: That's the true hypocrisy. Now he doesn't seem to understand

328
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: here that for a whole lot of us, I don't

329
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: want to wear a mask because I don't want to

330
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: wear a blanking mask, That's why. And the reasons are

331
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: that it is annoying, uncomfortable, and I don't think it

332
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: does very much to protect me in a whole lot

333
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: of circumstances where I'm currently required. In fact, I know

334
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: it is pointless in many of the circumstances in which

335
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm currently required to wear one. So it is a

336
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: It is a demand of subservience to anxiety control and

337
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: stupidity out there that has overtaken the public. That's what

338
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: it's actually not about Trump. I would not want to

339
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: wear a mask, even if by the way Trump has

340
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: been saying wear masks. He tells people wear a mask.

341
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: He's been saying it for months, and I still the

342
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: only reason I do it because I don't want to

343
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: get into fistfights every five minutes trying to go about

344
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: my life in New York City. If I'm gonna be

345
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: indoors with people who are at high risk and it

346
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: makes them feel better, fine, sometimes yeah, because even then

347
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: a minor benefit of limited transmission I think could be

348
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, and it's also less of an imposition. The

349
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: problem is they keep making the imposition more and more. Right,

350
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: it was wear a mask if you're sick, and then

351
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: it was wear a mask only indoors for extended period

352
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: of time. And then do you know how contract contact

353
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: tracing works? They only ask you because I had to

354
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: go through this in New York City, They'll only ask

355
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: you about people you've been around. This is if you

356
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: have COVID for fifteen minutes or more indoors. So if

357
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: you walk past somebody, or if you stand in an

358
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: elevator with somebody, that that doesn't count. So the contact

359
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: tracers that we were supposed to rely on to, I

360
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: remember when they talked that that was necessary to get

361
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: this under control. Let's talk about math. Yeah, you gotta

362
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: what a couple of thousand contact tracers trying to chase

363
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: down fifty one hundred thousand cases a day. Good luck

364
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: with that. Nobody should have thought that that was a

365
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: serious plan. But they did think it was a serious plan. See,

366
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: I remember the things that they've told us, and I've

367
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: also seen how this has been used as a political

368
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: weapon at every opportunity, in ways that are disingenuous, in

369
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: ways that I think also are destructive by pushing the

370
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: balance here, because there should be a balance between public

371
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: health and public freedom, By pushing the balance entirely in

372
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: favor of public health at the expense of our most

373
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: basic freedoms and changing that risk calculation so dramatically, they've

374
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: also caused a lot of really horrific consequences downside, these

375
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: number of people dying from undiagnosed cancer from drug overdoses,

376
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: just the way that our public health, mental and physical

377
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: health has been deteriorating during all of this, and they

378
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: want to keep this thing going. They think this is great.

379
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: Fauci thinks this is a good move. You know. The

380
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: only reason we weren't in this sort of like you know,

381
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: every man for himself, you know, do your best attitude

382
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: from the every beginning of this was because they told

383
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: us that hospitals were going to be overwhelmed. That was

384
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: how they got us into this. Oh, now we're going

385
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: to have the collective like the hive mind, determine what

386
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: you can do, who you can see over Thanksgiving and

387
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: and have this this continuing. Okay, yeay, the cases went

388
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: down for a bit, but it's only it's not because

389
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: a lot of people got infected. And this is just

390
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: the way the virus is transmitting, you know. Then the

391
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 1: cases come up. Oh, it's because you're not doing enough.

392
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: You're not doing enough. And then they make us to

393
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: all these annoying things, and then it keeps spreading, it

394
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: keeps spreading. But then after a few months, oh, the

395
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: cases start going on. Well, it's because you finally listen

396
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: to us. That's why the cases are going down. And

397
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: then the virus doesn't really spread that much in an area,

398
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: and everyone's still living with these restrictions. And then all

399
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden it goes up. Oh you're not you know,

400
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: we see how this goes I remember what they were

401
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: saying and what they've told us in the past and

402
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: what they're saying now, and it doesn't add up. But

403
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: you see, they think that people like me have problems

404
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: with this stuff as some show of fealthy to Trump.

405
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: I don't give a what about the Trump view on

406
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: whether I should and or the Republican view or anything

407
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: else about whether I should mask sitting down in a restaurant,

408
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: like as in going to sit down and then sit

409
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: there and eat for two hours without a mask on.

410
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't care what anyone that's that's idiotic. I don't care.

411
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: I don't care what faucis, I don't care what anyone says.

412
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: That's the dumbest policy. And that is the policy in

413
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: New York City, and I think it's the policy in

414
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: other places too, probably in Los Angeles, where they have

415
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: the mask up between bites of food. You know, that's

416
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: also the kind of mentality that leads us to have

417
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: people who are supposedly health experts, and look, the health

418
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: community and a lot of doctors have looked like complete

419
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: jackasses throughout this whole thing. A lot of them, not

420
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: all of them, a lot of them, you know, wear

421
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: a mask during sexual relations. Now. Look, I mean, whatever

422
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: you do with the you know, the husband or the

423
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: missus beyond closed doors is your own business. But I'm saying,

424
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: and we're a surgical mask to protect you from COVID

425
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: while you're doing the horizontal mambo. There are real articles

426
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: you can find them where that's actual medical guidance that's

427
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: out there. We're supposed to think that that's not dumb

428
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: beyond words. Look, when people get really scared, they do

429
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: stupid things, they say stupid things, and they're very easy

430
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: to control. And that's what has been happening, and Democrats

431
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: have liked this. What they really don't want is for

432
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: you to spend any time thinking about how much they've

433
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: been wrong in the past, what they used to say,

434
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: because a normal person who's not in the grip of

435
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: fear would listen to what they were saying. Now with

436
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: keeping in mind that they've said stuff before that wasn't

437
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly making a whole lot of sense, was it. Yeah,

438
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: here you go, we have fourteen play it, but just

439
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: you and me wearing these masks. Doctor Fauci and what

440
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: doctor shook It have said is that could actually sometimes

441
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: be more harmful to you than not wearing a mask,

442
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: because if it's not fitted right, you're gonna fumble with it.

443
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna be touching your face, which is the number

444
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: one way you're gonna get diseases, unclean hands touching your face.

445
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: In terms of wearing a mask, advice is clear that

446
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: wearing a mask if you don't have instin infection, really

447
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: reduces the risk almost not tall, so we do not

448
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: advise that. Well, it's important for to know that face

449
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 1: mask are not recommended for the general public. There are

450
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: two things people should know. Number One, if you wear

451
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: a face mask and you're not wearing it properly, you're

452
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: going to be more likely to touch your face and

453
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: you can actually increase your risk of getting a respiratory

454
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: disease like coronavirus or flu. Right now, people should not

455
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: be worried. There's no reason to be walking around with

456
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: a mask when you're in the middle of an outbreak.

457
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better,

458
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: and it might even block a droplet, but it's not

459
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.

460
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: That guy we are told you are, doctor Fouch at

461
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: the end, has been working against infectious disease and pandemics

462
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: for what the last forty years. That was what he

463
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: said earlier this year. Now he looks at you like

464
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: you're some kind of troglodyte if you don't immediately strap

465
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: on that mask all the time. I mean, what else

466
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: do you need to know? Folks? But they've convinced themselves

467
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: because the left politicizes, the Democrats politicize everything. They really

468
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: think that the opposition to mask. Who's like, yeah, because

469
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't like masks. No, because we pay attention and

470
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff is dumb. And I don't

471
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: want to wear a mask. I don't want to be

472
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: in the gym alone wearing a mask, which is what

473
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: happens these days. I don't want to be on a

474
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: treadmill wearing a mask. You know all you have to do,

475
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: and this has happened to me a couple of times.

476
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, better you have one or two

477
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: really wet sneezes with one of those surgical masks on,

478
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: you change your mind on wearing masks all the time

479
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: real fast. I think it's all about politics. That's because

480
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: that's how they view everything. I want this to end.

481
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: If Joe Biden came out and he was like, look,

482
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: I think everybody should do this for their own safety,

483
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: but we're not going to mandate this. It's not the

484
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: government's role. There's not the science to back up taking

485
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: this position anyway, and we know that as a policy,

486
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: it just aggravates people exacerbate divisions, and it hasn't worked

487
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: in Europe. So do whatever you want to protect yourself,

488
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: but none of this, like you can't go into this

489
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: place if a private business wants to, fine, but that's

490
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: not what we have. We have government mandates for businesses.

491
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: No more of that. I'd say, Yeah, I like what

492
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: Biden sag on masks. That's where I mean. He said, Oh,

493
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: he'd never switch his mind like that. Listen to Fauci Letten.

494
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: Know he switched his tune on this one. You know

495
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: what a mask Maybe it works a little bit, Yes,

496
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: maybe it works a little bit, not enough to annoy

497
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: the crap out of everybody with these stupid mandates and

498
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: this virtue signaling them masking all the time. If you're

499
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: in a room with somebody who's shedding this virus and

500
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: you both have little pieces of cloth on your face

501
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: and you're breathing in the same out, same air for

502
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, an extended period of time, you're at risk.

503
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: End of story. So all this stuff. Oh but I'm

504
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: wearing a mask and you're a respirator. If you want

505
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: to go around that it has matt suit and have

506
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: something that's actually filtering out particles so small that it

507
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: would include the virus before you can breathe anything in,

508
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: and it's keeping it from being able to get to

509
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: your Yeah. Sure, but you know, do you want to

510
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: live in like a scene from the movie Outbreak for

511
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: the rest of your life? I don't think so. But

512
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: I just I'm sorry. I just can't help. But notice

513
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: they think that this is like, yeah, maga Trump, I'm

514
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: not wearing a mask. No, it's a dumb idea and

515
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 1: I don't want to do it because I actually think

516
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: about things irrespective of what the political party decides. Thanks

521
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: hear from the campaign just to get updates on what's

522
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: going on, what they're up to, how the President's going

Speaker 1: got our friend Steve Cortez in the mix. Steve is

525
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: a senior strategist for the Trump campaign. He's out there

526
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: making the case and he's got his finger on the

527
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: pulse of just what Trump twenty twenty's up to Thank

528

531
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: I know you and I both know Trump is we

532
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: hope gonna win? Right Okay, skip that for a second.

533
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: What's happening right now? Yeah no, listen, let me give

534
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,959
Speaker 1: you reasons to be hopefully. I'm not just not just

535
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: slogan hearing. I like our momentum right now. And let listen,

536
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: we're taking nothing for granted. I believe all of these

537
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: swing states are still in play and it's going to

538
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: come down to game day turnout. And when I say

539
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: game day, I really mean these should say game days

540
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: because it's through the weekend. Really. But here's why I

541
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: like our momentum. Number One, there's economic momentum of the

542
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: country that's really pretty fantastic. We just continue to get

543
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: out day after day, just an absolute day luge of data,

544
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: all of it pointing to an economic renaissance in this country.

545
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: This country is surging and roaring back to life economically.

546
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: It's because of the Trump policies. It's the Trump boom.

547
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: Two point all in the American people site in an

548
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: all polling that I have problems with a lot of

549
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: public polling, but all polling, far and away, that is

550
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: the number one issue on voters minds. It's also where

551
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: I think we have the most compelling case to make.

552
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: So that's the affirmative case for Trump and the and

553
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: the other reason. By the way, speaking of polling, even

554
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: though I don't like the numbers that a lot of

555
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: public polling come up with because I believe that their

556
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: inputs are wrong and they're skewed against us, I do

557
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: think that momentum matters in polling. In other words, if

558
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: it's tightening versus widening, that does matter as long as

559
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: they're not changing the methodology right. And if we look

560
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: at the real crypt politics averages of these swing states,

561
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: all of them are tightening. So those averages still show

562
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: us losing those swing states. Now I don't believe we are,

563
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: but regardless they show us, they show us losing by less.

564
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: They show these races tightening, and I think that is accurate.

565
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: And then the other reason is quite frankly, the word

566
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: is getting out about the Biden China pay to play scheme.

567
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: This is the biggest story of the campaign. I mean, clearly,

568
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: this is a bombshell story. The fact that the Biden family,

569
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: which I really call it cartel because that's what it

570
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: operates like, that they have been selling influence and access

571
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: all over the world for years, but including to the

572
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: two most dangerous enemies of the United States, Russia and China.

573
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: And to get really specific, that much has proven, by

574
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: the way, I mean, that's not supposition, right, It has

575
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: proven that Hunter was being paid and other family members

576
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: being paid lavishly by the Chinese Commerce Party. Now is

577
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: what is credibly alleged, and I want to be precisely

578
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: my words Blockeye because we can't quite prove it yet,

579
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: but there are is very much, very credible evidence to

580
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: suspect and to believe that Joe Biden himself was involved

581
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: in this scamp, in a dirty money deal with the CCP,

582
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: that he was personally involved in executing it and in

583
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: the proceeds. That question has of course not been asked

584
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: of him in any legitimate way other than by President Trump.

585
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: The campaign hardly addresses the issue because they hardly campaign

586
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: at all. But and despite the efforts of corporate media

587
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: doing it's just making a willful decision to ignore the

588
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: biggest story in the country. With a nice assist from

589
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: big Text suppressing the story, the story is getting out

590
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: and it is helping us. And we're seeing that in

591
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: some internal numbers. The negatives on Joe Biden are going up.

592
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: The American people are realizing he's not the nice guy

593
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: from Scranton that the corporate media wants you to believe.

594
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: He's a dirty Washington politician who spent fifty years in

595
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: the swap and much of that time screwing over American

596
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: workers and taking dirty money from communist China. We're speaking

597
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: of Steve Cortez Trump twenty twenty campaign advisor, senior advisor

598
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: for strategy, and a former c ann contributor alumni just

599
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: like me. So Steve, we've got that. It's it's like

600
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 1: we've both survived some kind of a war. So we've

601
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: always got that in common. Right. Yeah, crazy place over there, Man,

602
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: It just kept getting crazier too. But we'll have that

603
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 1: conversation another day. Steve. Let's talk about the Hispanic vote

604
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: in this There have been some reports, news reports that

605
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: Hispanic voters there's there's two dynamics playing out. One they're

606
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: not showing up for Biden in places like southern Florida

607
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: Miami Dade County as much as had been hoped. And

608
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: two some of them may be breaking for Trump in

609
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: larger numbers than had been anticipated. What can you tell

610
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: us about that? Yes, listen, No, that is absolutely happening.

611
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: Correct on both counts. And by the way, again, I

612
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: don't love public calling. But just to cite some the

613
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: latest Fox News national poll, and I'm not sure to

614
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: picking a good poll because that poll didn't make us

615
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: look good. But within that poll, the Hispanic number was

616
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: pretty outstanding. They show up forty two percent nationally among Hispanics.

617
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: We believe we're doing slightly better than that, and we

618
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have a shot at actually winning this

619
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: Hispanic vote, but certainly north of forty in our view,

620
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: were not. Again, we're not being cocky about it. We've

621
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: got to earn those votes all the way to the

622
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,479
Speaker 1: finish line. But a couple things are going on. Number

623
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: one is Hispanics are statistically the most entrepreneurial demographic in America.

624
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: We love to start up new businesses, mom and pop

625
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: operations that we hope become bigger than that. And this

626
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: president has been amazing for entrepreneurs, particularly it comes to deregulation.

627
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: Tax cuts were key, but I think for entrepreneurs it's

628
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: the regulatory release that is really the jet fuel for

629
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: entrepreneurial zeal in this country. And Hispanics know that they

630
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,439
Speaker 1: know what was happening during the first three years before

631
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: the China virus, and they know what's happening again right

632
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: now in this country. I'll give you one other quick

633
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: staff that I think is related. Pickup truck sales just

634
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: hit an all time high in the month of September,

635
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: which is pretty astounding when you consider you know that

636
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: just five months ago this country was locked down, right,

637
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: So the fact that we're back up, we've reclaimed the

638
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: pandemic losses and truck sales and surge to a new

639
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: high and pickup trucks is amazing. And the reason I'm

640
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: connecting that to Hispanics is pickup trucks are used for work.

641
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: They're used for the trades. A lot of Hispanics work

642
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: in those kinds of businesses, construction, landscaping, all those sorts

643
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: of things. People who work with their minds and their hands,

644
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: the people Hillary Clinton decries as the deplorable. So the

645
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: Hispanic population, I particularly Hispanic men, are really rallying to

646
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: President Trump. And then specific to Florida. You know, as

647
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned Day County, Florida's Hispanics are different in that

648
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: so many of them come from Venezuela and Cuba, that

649
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: they are keenly aware of the dangers of socialism, right

650
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: because either they or their ancestors fled from those brutal

651
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: regimes in Venezuela and in Cuba. And when the twenty

652
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: twenty Democratic Party lurches to the left and starts to

653
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: dance with socialists like Bernie Sanders and AOC, that may

654
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: be very pleasing in faculty lounges and cafes in Brooklyn,

655
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: but it's not cool in South Florida. It is not

656
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 1: okay with Venezuelans and with Americans of Venezuelan and Cuban

657
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: descent down there. So I think they have really hurt

658
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: themselves with that community, and we're benefiting. Speaking of Steve Cortez,

659
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: Trump twenty twenty campaign senior advisor for strategy. So Steve,

660
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: there's only a few days left here, what is Look,

661
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: I know the presidents he's just he's going all out,

662
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's at that point in the race where

663
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: he's the legs are kicking and he's giving it all

664
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: these god, as is everybody else who's a part of

665
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 1: his campaign team, yourself included. If he's going to focus

666
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,760
Speaker 1: in though, on one or two things in those swing

667
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 1: states where based on what we've seen so far, based

668
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: on what the data is telling the campaign, he could

669
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 1: still he could still move the needle. What is it, right, Yeah, listen,

670
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: I think it's the economy, And to get even more

671
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: specific than broad economy, I would say income. And I've

672
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: spoken to the President about this and he's on with

673
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: some statistics on the You can break down the GUA

674
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: labor statistics when they do their monthly payroll reports. Most

675
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: people obviously just folks on the national but they break

676
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: it down actually all the way to the metro area.

677
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: So let me give you a specific example. Today, he's

678
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: going to Rochester, Minnesota. Rochester, Minnesota the income games there.

679
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: As the September report our year over year thirteen percent

680
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: average wage gains in Rochester, Minnesota. That's pretty incredible when

681
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: you consider that this most of his year has been

682
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: marred by COVID. Right, and that's a tough comparison because

683
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: you're comparing to September of twenty nineteen. It's year over year.

684
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: The economy was humming last fall, right, and nobody had

685
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: even heard of the China virus yet. So it's a

686
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,439
Speaker 1: tough comp Not only were we beating it or beating

687
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: by double digits, I mean that's real money in people's pockets.

688
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: That's hundreds of extra dollars every single week for working

689
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: class folks that they have gained in the last year.

690
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: The more I think the President points that out and

691
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: points out that that is all at risk if you

692
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: elect Joe Biden, he's going to influt the largest tax

693
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: hike in American history by a mile on this country.

694
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: He would also take us black back to a place

695
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: of economic submission to China and again in Minnesota, Minnesota.

696
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: According to the Economic Policy Institute, which is a left

697
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: leaning think tank, Minnesota lost eighty eight thousand manufacturing jobs

698
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: to China once they entered the WTO in two thousand

699
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: and one. Joe Biden was a principal architect of those

700
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: terrible trade deals that allowed China to abuse our American workers,

701
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: including in Minnesota. So I think we make that kind

702
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: of granular case as he's barnstorming in the country. This

703
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: is what you have gained, this is what's at risk.

704
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: I think it's compelling, and I think that will get

705
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: people to the polls. Steve, if you had to tell

706
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: us one place where you think if I'm putting you

707
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 1: on the spot here, but don't worry, We're only well

708
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: only this is what we do. We'll only bring it

709
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: up again if you're right. But if there's one place

710
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: where you think people could be a little surprised, not

711
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: necessarily just that Trump wins, but by the margin of

712
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: victory that you know, if you're is there one area

713
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: where you think we could get a surprise that defies expectations.

714
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm one state. I mean, I'm having to put myself

715
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: out there. I'm gonna stick with Minnesota. I think not

716
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: only gonna win Minnesota, I think we're gonna win it handily.

717
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: Minnesota has not been won by Republican since nineteen seventy two.

718
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: That's a year I was born and I'm not a

719
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: young man. Buck. By the way, that was also the

720
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: year that Joe Biden was elected in the Senate. Think

721
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: about that. I mean, I'm a middle aged guy. He

722
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: was elected when I was in diapers in nineteen seventy two.

723
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: But anyway, I believe we're gonna win Minnesota. Let me

724
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: give you a couple of reasons why. One is ilhan Olmark.

725
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how despise she is in that

726
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: entire state outside of her district, and she has been

727
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: really useful for us to point out just how radical

728
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: left the twenty twenty Democratic Party is, to convince Minnesotans

729
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: that this is not your parents, your grandparents Democratic Party,

730
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: This is not the Walter Mondale Party. This is a

731
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: very jilhan Olmars party. They are driving the bus as

732
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: far as policy. And then the second thing, I mean,

733
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: it's tragic, but it's the reality. It's just the riots.

734
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: The riots in Minneapolis were so terrible, They caused so

735
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 1: much damage in this country and really frankly scared, legitimately scared,

736
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: rightfully scare a lot of people, particularly Minnesota. And so

737
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: I think those two factors, in addition to the affirmative

738
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: case that we're making on the economy, tell me that

739
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna make history in Minnesota. And I don't think

740
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna just eke it out. I think we're gonna

741
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: we're gonna win as a bold prediction. Steve Cortez, we

742
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: like we like that stuff though here. Thanks so much

743
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: for joining us. Steve Cortes, senior visor for the Trump campaign. Everybody, Steve,

744
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you soon. Thanks. Buck. This is the

745
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: best of Buck Daily podcast, the top stories of the

746
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: day from the Buck Sexton Show. For more Buck head

747
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: to Buck Sexton dot com and remember to subscribe to

748
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: the podcast. But we are ready. I feel very confident

749
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden will be elected president on Tuesday, whatever

750
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: the count is. But on the election that occurs on Tuesday,

751
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: he will be elected. On January twentieth, he will be

752
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: inaugurated President of the United States. So while we don't

753
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: want to be over confident or assume anything, we have

754
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: to be ready for how we are going to go

755
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: down a different pens. What the heck does that mean?

756
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 1: He's going to be elected no matter what the final Hey,

757
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: He'll be elect. Doesn't matter if he wins, he will win.

758
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: He will be elected no matter what the final vote counters.

759
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: Did you catch that? It kind of got lost there

760
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: and a big gold Chardonnay glass with Nancy? What was that?

761
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: No matter what the final vote tally is he'll be

762
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden will be the president. Your manage if

763
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: Trump said that, it would be its own new cycle

764
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: for twenty four hours, or if anyone who supported Trump

765
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 1: said that. But that's where things are these days, friends,

766
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: And you know they're boarding up stores right now in

767
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 1: DC as we speak. That's how much Democrats care about democracy.

768
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: I just want to know, is this a little bit

769
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: like the sports team fans who will riot and light

770
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: cars on fire when their team wins and when their

771
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: team loses. I mean, do democrats riot no matter what

772
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: after this election? I'm thinking probably. And the bigger point

773
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: for me is, okay, why is that okay? Why is

774
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: it normal for us to just assume, and everyone does

775
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: assume that there'll be Biden voters. People of the left,

776
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: whether Antifa, which as I say, is I believe a

777
00:42:54,960 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: mental illness Antifa or BLM activists or whatever the radicals

778
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: are calling themselves in that moment, they're going to destroy

779
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: stuff in a place like DC. If stores are going

780
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: to be looted, it's not going to be anybody wearing

781
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: MAGA hats. Why is it the Trump supporters are just

782
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: more lawful, more law abiding in their public actions. I mean,

783
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm asking that question rhetorically. I could go into I

784
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: think details about why that isn't think the left is

785
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: the party of the mob. I think they believe in

786
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: moral relativism and me me me, and emotion over reason,

787
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: and there's a lot. But we just accept it, and

788
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: they act like that's not something we should point out.

789
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: We shouldn't stand back and say, hold on a second.

790
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: They're boarding up stores in preparation for the election in

791
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: case Trump wins, and then we know there's going to

792
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: be violence in mayhem in the streets. But vote for

793
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: that party. Vote for the party that seems so comfortable

794
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: with the lunatics who are entirely within its confines that

795
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: everybody just goes. I guess there's gonna be some rioting

796
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 1: if Trump wins. You know, what can you do. It's

797
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: the price of democracy. Hmm. I disagree. But this brings

798
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: us to our recurring conclusion here, which is that the

799
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: left has absolutely and completely lost its mind. They are nuts,

800
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 1: right though. The far left, the Democrat Party in particular,

801
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 1: is just is just bonkers, simply and utterly bonkers, and

802
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: they're not going to rain them in. So what happens

803
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: in a Biden presidency, Well, I think we all know

804
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: it becomes the stealth AOC left wing of the party presidency,

805
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: with Joe Biden mouthing the usual pablum, you know, putting

806
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: out the usual n income poopery about we're gonna build

807
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: a million jobs and we're gonna do this other thing

808
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: and you know, no joke, man, and period, no joke. Yeah,

809
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be a really inspiring presidency. So that's

810
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: what we're facing. And you also will have the prospect

811
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: of the same media apparatus, the apparatus of the MSM

812
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: that have made it. I mean, it is beyond any

813
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: not even a reason, it's beyond an unreasonable doubt that

814
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: they're Democrat partisans. We couldn't have any more proof at

815
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:30,319
Speaker 1: this point. It couldn't be any more clear. They've shown us.

816
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they've effectively signed sworn declarations. We are you know,

817
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: CNN should be DNCNN, right. I mean, these places are

818
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: completely in the tank for Democrats actively working toward their reelection.

819
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: They should be paid employees of the Biden campaign. At

820
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: the New York Times, at CNN, these are places that

821
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: should just be honest about what they're doing, but they

822
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: won't do that. They won't do that because I still

823
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: like to pretend, even though nobody who is intelligent and

824
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: informed believe these places are honest anymore. There's a weird

825
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 1: joy that the left wing Democrat audience gets over from

826
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: watching news organizations that are just feeding them what they

827
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: want all the time and telling them that it's neutral.

828
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: See I watched the neutral stuff over at MSNBC. I

829
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: watch the real journalism on ABC News. These places are

830
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: all jokes, and I think the Internet would have already

831
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 1: broken many of these institutions if they could not count

832
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 1: on the assistance of the tech giants too. It's unfortunate,

833
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: I mean, really, conservatives, I wish I wish we would

834
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 1: understand the game that we're in here. I wish we'd

835
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: understand that we've got to start controlling institutions too. Any

836
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: institution that is not controlled by conservative interests will at

837
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: least keep it fair, will be far left. That's because

838
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: they purge because like all authoritarians and totalitarians, they can

839
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: abide other thoughts. Oh, what's the latest example of this.

840
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: Glenn Greenwald, who is a left wing guy and not

841
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,759
Speaker 1: I mean a little bit. I mean, Glenn Greenwald. You

842
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: have never heard somebody say so many favorable things about

843
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: Palestinian radical terrorism. Who's a mainstream journalist as he will

844
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: grant Glenn Greenwald, right, I mean this guy, he's a

845
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: man of the left, There's no question about it. And

846
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,439
Speaker 1: you do get the sense that he kind of hates

847
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: the US federal government as a general proposition that's set.

848
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 1: He does do what he says he will do, which

849
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: is chase down stories that are of interest and print

850
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: them regardless of which party will be affected. Now I'm

851
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: not saying he does a perfect balance, but I don't

852
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: think anybody could do a perfect balance. He's still a

853
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: man of the left, but he will write things and

854
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: he will say things that Libs do not want to hear.

855
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: It should be noted that there are there are journalists

856
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: on the left, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Tyeebe, you know, there

857
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: are a handful of them who they disagree with you

858
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: and me on almost everything. I mean ninety five percent

859
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: of stuff, maybe more. But they were willing to just

860
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: look at the insanity of the Russia collusion farce and say, guys,

861
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: there's no there there, we got nothing here, There's no

862
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: evidence for this, it's just relying on a lot of

863
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: innuendo from Democrats working in the federal government as nonpartisan

864
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: intelligence professionals, to then journalists who quote each other about

865
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 1: the nonpartisan, anonymous sources that are leaking them information when

866
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: they never even see the information and they don't know

867
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: there's no verification. And the whole Russia collusion thing was

868
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: the self immolation of journalism in America. And a couple

869
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: of people on the left Greenwall was one of them,

870
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: were willing to say that they were willing to be

871
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: honest about it, and for that they should be commended

872
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 1: credit where it is due, as you know, one of

873
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: my mantras here on the show, they deserved, they deserved

874
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:09,439
Speaker 1: the you know, the high five for that. Well. Greenwald's

875
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: founded this far left publication called The Intercept, and they've

876
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 1: published some very nasty stuff. And you know, I think

877
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: that I have a slightly different take on this whole

878
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: thing that everybody else, and I'll get into that in

879
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: a minute, a variation, not not a overwhelmingly different takeaway,

880
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: but a variation on it. It turns out that when

881
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: Greenwald wanted to print something recently at the Intercept, which

882
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: he is a founder of and which was funded by

883
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: a left wing billionaire named Pierre Omidyar founded eBay. It

884
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: turned out that when he was doing this right, when

885
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 1: he was trying to write an editorial last week or

886
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: two on Joe Biden and the Hunter Biden, it was

887
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: really about the Hunter Biden emails. The people that are

888
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: the managing editors at the Intercept, a far left publication

889
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: that's supposed to be unafraid, straight journalism, truth to power stuff,

890
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: that's the mission of the organization. Well, what Greenwald found

891
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: out is that that's a fraud and that that's not

892
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 1: welcome on the left. And he had these these editors.

893
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: Remember he's the founder of the publication. This should be

894
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: like someone coming on the Buck Sexton Show and telling

895
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: me what I can talk about on radio, Like that's

896
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: not going to fly. He's the founder, but he's being

897
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: told by his editors you can't write that. And he's

898
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: published the exchanges and it couldn't be anymore clear. The rationalizations,

899
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 1: the you know what you see are people who are like,

900
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: you can't write that because that'll hurt Joe and we

901
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: need Joe to win. That's it. And this gives you

902
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: a window into the mentality that exists at every media

903
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: publication that is about news in the country that is

904
00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: not identified as at least right of center. Every single

905
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: and there aren't that many right of center publications. Every

906
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 1: single news publication in the country that is not right

907
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: of center has that same mentel, every single one of them,

908
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: without fail. There are people, if not everybody, the majority

909
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: the decision makers will shut down a story because it

910
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: hurts Joe. Yeah, because they're all doing one thing and

911
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: one thing only, trying to get this guy elected, and

912
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: they view that as their purpose. Because think about how

913
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 1: much value there really is and what many of these

914
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,360
Speaker 1: news organizations do. I'm just going to take you in

915
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of inside baseball here for a second.

916
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: Allow of them do just aggregation. They do reprints of

917
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: ape stories, they change the headline, they throw a couple

918
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: of photos up, and they share it out on social media.

919
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: Their real value, add is in editorial and in commentary.

920
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: That's the truth of most news media organizations these days.

921
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: But they're not honest about that because then they're competing

922
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: with other people and it's well, who's a better polemicist,

923
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: and they have to be held to account for what

924
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: they write. As opinions instead of oh, I'm just reporting, man,

925
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm just doing my reporting. But it's not true. What

926
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: I think is so interesting here from the perspective of Greenwald,

927
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: who's now left, he resigned from the publication he founded

928
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: because of the group think and the willingness to prostrate

929
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: themselves on the left entirely for the support of Joe Biden. Well,

930
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: he should be commended for that, but I also would note,

931
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, the left is where this is happening. This

932
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 1: does not happen on the right in this way. And

933
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that, because the left wing of

934
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 1: American politics has embraced in authoritarian view and they've been

935
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: taught to weaponize institutions and government as just instruments of

936
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,959
Speaker 1: raw power without any good faith or without any sense

937
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: of shared principle with the other side. They have been

938
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: going scorched dirt for a long time and that's the

939
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: only thing they know how to do. Now. They don't

940
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: know how to have a conversation in between two sides

941
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: that both have valid points of view. They only have

942
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: you stop because your words are like violence. You can't

943
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 1: say that that's sexist, that's racist, that's fill in the blank.

944
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 1: Is it well, I mean, do we ever get to

945
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: is it a fact? Is it true? Is it an opinion?

946
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: Is it policy? You know, no, it's sexist, it's xenophobic. Hm,

947
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: that's all. That's all that It comes down to. No

948
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: name calling and deep platforming and doxing and punishing ideological opponents.

949
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: This leads to bad outcomes when when you see the

950
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 1: nature of the individuals and the ideas at the heart

951
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: of say, the French Revolution, not surprising that about fifteen

952
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 1: to twenty thousand people were taken to the guillotine, a

953
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: vast majority of whom did nothing to anyone, right, It's

954
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 1: not surprising when you see when you understand the nature

955
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: and character of the people and the ideas at the

956
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: heart of the Soviet Revolution, the Bulshevik Revolution that led

957
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: to the Soviet Union, it's nothing surprising about that. And

958
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: when you see what the left wing of American politics

959
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 1: has turned into today, just this this vicious preening, you know, Idy,

960
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: you see brigade, it's not surprising at all. And so

961
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: there's a part of me that says, well, good for

962
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: Greenwalter for walking away from what from the fact that

963
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: the place is a fraud but also maybe there's some

964
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: less to be taken here about how if you're gonna

965
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: be a left wing journalist, you're going to be surrounded

966
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: with frauds all the time, because that is actually the

967
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,919
Speaker 1: culture of the left. Now, it's not an exception, it's

968
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: the rule. Maybe there's a little bit more that one

969
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: should look into here, and also the ideas that all

970
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,919
Speaker 1: those people hold problematic
