4
00:00:23,777 --> 00:00:26,257
Speaker 1: the US to begin her tour of Asia, the Chinese

5
00:00:26,297 --> 00:00:30,377
Speaker 1: government reiterated their threat of quote countermeasures and consequences should

6
00:00:30,377 --> 00:00:33,937
Speaker 1: the House Speaker visit by Wan. Pelosi's in Singapore today

7
00:00:33,977 --> 00:00:36,537
Speaker 1: and is set to visit Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan,

8
00:00:37,177 --> 00:00:41,137
Speaker 1: with new reports suggesting she will stop by Taiwan tomorrow,

9
00:00:41,457 --> 00:00:45,337
Speaker 1: though I will communist China respond to this. We'll discuss

10
00:00:45,417 --> 00:00:53,817
Speaker 1: and tonight's hold the lot. Welcome to hold the line.

11
00:00:53,817 --> 00:00:57,457
Speaker 1: I'm buck Sexton. Will Pelosi go to Taiwan? Big question

12
00:00:57,577 --> 00:01:01,057
Speaker 1: of the day? She is the Speaker of the House. Now,

13
00:01:01,097 --> 00:01:05,617
Speaker 1: she's a deeply venal, ignorant, and unethical person, but she

14
00:01:05,737 --> 00:01:08,337
Speaker 1: is still the Speaker of the House, a representative of

15
00:01:08,417 --> 00:01:12,537
Speaker 1: the United States government, and therefore whether or not she

16
00:01:13,297 --> 00:01:17,977
Speaker 1: goes to Taiwan reflects on US foreign policy and therefore

17
00:01:18,137 --> 00:01:22,737
Speaker 1: on the people of our country. Now we've been put

18
00:01:22,817 --> 00:01:27,417
Speaker 1: in quite a situation here because of Pelosi does go well,

19
00:01:27,977 --> 00:01:32,817
Speaker 1: China could take extreme measures. Chinese foreign Ministry. A representative

20
00:01:32,857 --> 00:01:36,457
Speaker 1: Warren today that if Pelosi Enterst. Taiwan, quote, Beijing's military

21
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:40,017
Speaker 1: will not sit idly by if Pelosi enterst. Taiwan. Due

22
00:01:40,057 --> 00:01:42,057
Speaker 1: to her status as a number three official of the

23
00:01:42,137 --> 00:01:47,857
Speaker 1: US government, a Taiwan visit would lead to egregious political impact. Okay,

24
00:01:47,977 --> 00:01:52,337
Speaker 1: political impact would be something that we could certainly handle

25
00:01:53,497 --> 00:01:56,377
Speaker 1: and is not enough I would think to deter a

26
00:01:56,457 --> 00:01:59,737
Speaker 1: Pelosi visit because the other option here of her not

27
00:01:59,897 --> 00:02:02,977
Speaker 1: going would be for the number three in line for

28
00:02:03,017 --> 00:02:07,977
Speaker 1: the US presidency government official to allow the Communist Party

29
00:02:07,977 --> 00:02:12,417
Speaker 1: of China to make a determination about where outside of

30
00:02:12,657 --> 00:02:17,177
Speaker 1: Chinese territory a US official can go. All that a

31
00:02:17,297 --> 00:02:20,897
Speaker 1: big problem, and this is why the US is not

32
00:02:21,057 --> 00:02:24,137
Speaker 1: standing ouidly by either. A US aircraft carrier and its

33
00:02:24,177 --> 00:02:27,617
Speaker 1: strike group, including the USS Ronald Reagan, have returned to

34
00:02:27,657 --> 00:02:30,217
Speaker 1: the South China Sea after a port call in Singapore,

35
00:02:30,737 --> 00:02:33,497
Speaker 1: deploying in the disputed region as tensions with China rise

36
00:02:33,657 --> 00:02:37,817
Speaker 1: over a possible visit to Taiwan by Congressional leader Nancy Pelosi.

37
00:02:37,937 --> 00:02:41,297
Speaker 1: So let's just take stock of this moment in time,

38
00:02:41,297 --> 00:02:44,137
Speaker 1: shall we? We have a Speaker of the House now

39
00:02:44,457 --> 00:02:46,977
Speaker 1: has a catch twenty two. If she doesn't go, it

40
00:02:47,017 --> 00:02:48,777
Speaker 1: looks like she's bending the need of China. If she

41
00:02:48,857 --> 00:02:53,497
Speaker 1: does go, she's provoking some kind of Chinese response. How

42
00:02:53,537 --> 00:02:59,137
Speaker 1: severe would it be? Obviously, any military act against the

43
00:02:59,177 --> 00:03:02,937
Speaker 1: plane or against the convoy that Nancy Pelosi would be

44
00:03:02,977 --> 00:03:05,177
Speaker 1: in is an active war as clear and active war

45
00:03:05,297 --> 00:03:08,137
Speaker 1: as one that could exist. And so what would the

46
00:03:08,177 --> 00:03:10,817
Speaker 1: US response be? Obviously would be military, and it could

47
00:03:10,817 --> 00:03:15,217
Speaker 1: provoke a broader conflict between the two largest economies and

48
00:03:15,257 --> 00:03:18,857
Speaker 1: the two most powerful countries in the world. So those

49
00:03:18,897 --> 00:03:22,257
Speaker 1: are the stakes right now. But it's also worth asking

50
00:03:22,297 --> 00:03:26,457
Speaker 1: what exactly is the US foreign policy with regard to Taiwan.

51
00:03:26,617 --> 00:03:31,457
Speaker 1: Has anyone really decided what is the US position? Because today,

52
00:03:31,497 --> 00:03:35,937
Speaker 1: for example, the Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said, you can

53
00:03:35,977 --> 00:03:39,017
Speaker 1: hear it yourself right here, the US does not support

54
00:03:39,097 --> 00:03:44,817
Speaker 1: an independent Taiwan. Way figure can speak for herself, and

55
00:03:46,137 --> 00:03:49,817
Speaker 1: whatever she wants to say on this trip is really

56
00:03:49,857 --> 00:03:53,217
Speaker 1: her prerogative. That's why it was so important for me

57
00:03:53,257 --> 00:03:56,337
Speaker 1: in my opening comments Kelly, to make clear what this

58
00:03:56,417 --> 00:03:59,577
Speaker 1: administration's policy is with respect to the One China principle,

59
00:04:00,257 --> 00:04:04,617
Speaker 1: one China policy, as well as as not wanting to

60
00:04:04,617 --> 00:04:11,297
Speaker 1: see cross street tensions resolved by any than peaceful means,

61
00:04:11,497 --> 00:04:14,737
Speaker 1: and the fact that we don't support Taiwan independence, it

62
00:04:14,817 --> 00:04:16,577
Speaker 1: was important for me to lay that down right at

63
00:04:16,577 --> 00:04:20,737
Speaker 1: the outset. That's our policy, that's this administration's approach. I

64
00:04:20,817 --> 00:04:24,137
Speaker 1: can't speak for what speaker Pools seem may do or

65
00:04:24,977 --> 00:04:28,097
Speaker 1: does it sound like he who has a clear policy

66
00:04:28,097 --> 00:04:30,577
Speaker 1: to articulate there for everybody. A lot of kind of

67
00:04:30,617 --> 00:04:33,297
Speaker 1: mumbling and going back and Fourwell, you know, we don't

68
00:04:33,417 --> 00:04:36,217
Speaker 1: we support a one China policy, but we don't support

69
00:04:36,217 --> 00:04:40,257
Speaker 1: Thaiwan independence. Hold on, it's like Taiwan's independent right now.

70
00:04:40,657 --> 00:04:44,017
Speaker 1: Taiwan has a democratically elected government. We do a lot

71
00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:46,817
Speaker 1: of business with Taiwan. They are incredibly important when it

72
00:04:46,817 --> 00:04:50,217
Speaker 1: comes to semiconductors for the global market, including for the US.

73
00:04:50,897 --> 00:04:52,817
Speaker 1: We sell them a lot of arms and munition so

74
00:04:52,857 --> 00:04:55,817
Speaker 1: they can defend themselves against China, the only reason they

75
00:04:55,817 --> 00:04:58,577
Speaker 1: have to buy the kind of weaponry they do. So

76
00:04:58,697 --> 00:05:01,777
Speaker 1: it is a day facto independent state. But we tell

77
00:05:01,817 --> 00:05:04,657
Speaker 1: the Chinese we agree with their one China policy. According

78
00:05:04,697 --> 00:05:08,097
Speaker 1: to Kirby there and we don't support an independent Taiwan,

79
00:05:08,097 --> 00:05:12,777
Speaker 1: even though right now it is independent. But what exactly

80
00:05:12,857 --> 00:05:15,857
Speaker 1: is going on here? And now we also should be

81
00:05:15,897 --> 00:05:20,937
Speaker 1: forced to just stare down this notion of strategic ambiguity.

82
00:05:21,497 --> 00:05:25,457
Speaker 1: Strategic ambiguity is bullcrap, friends, Okay, this is nonsense. This

83
00:05:25,537 --> 00:05:29,777
Speaker 1: goes along with the Obama administrations leading from behind or

84
00:05:29,897 --> 00:05:35,257
Speaker 1: strategic patients with regard to happenings in the Pacific, concluding

85
00:05:35,297 --> 00:05:38,497
Speaker 1: with China North Korea. Those are fancy ways of saying

86
00:05:38,497 --> 00:05:39,777
Speaker 1: we don't really know what we're going to do, and

87
00:05:39,817 --> 00:05:41,337
Speaker 1: we're probably not going to do anything, and we're not

88
00:05:41,377 --> 00:05:44,417
Speaker 1: even sure what we want now in foreign policy, those

89
00:05:44,417 --> 00:05:47,217
Speaker 1: are all very bad places to be. You gotta know

90
00:05:47,257 --> 00:05:49,457
Speaker 1: what you want, you got on, what your ultimate goal is,

91
00:05:49,617 --> 00:05:51,897
Speaker 1: how you hope to get there, what costs you're willing

92
00:05:51,897 --> 00:05:55,097
Speaker 1: to bear along the way. That's how it's supposed to work.

93
00:05:55,457 --> 00:05:57,617
Speaker 1: But yeah, we have a situation right now where, if

94
00:05:57,657 --> 00:06:00,897
Speaker 1: you believe some of those who are the most concerned

95
00:06:00,937 --> 00:06:04,057
Speaker 1: about this, we could be risking an act of war

96
00:06:04,257 --> 00:06:07,817
Speaker 1: and even full scale war itself with China over this

97
00:06:07,897 --> 00:06:10,977
Speaker 1: visit to Taiwan. Now, that may seem a bit extreme,

98
00:06:11,017 --> 00:06:13,297
Speaker 1: but some people certainly think that's possible. The Chinese government

99
00:06:13,337 --> 00:06:18,137
Speaker 1: is saying it's possible. So what does that mean for US?

100
00:06:18,937 --> 00:06:23,417
Speaker 1: Would the US military intervene in a Chinese attempt to

101
00:06:23,537 --> 00:06:27,097
Speaker 1: take Taiwan? And that's really what is behind all of this, right,

102
00:06:27,897 --> 00:06:31,097
Speaker 1: is the US going to back Taiwan up when China

103
00:06:31,177 --> 00:06:33,937
Speaker 1: decides that they're going to seize the island because they

104
00:06:33,937 --> 00:06:36,497
Speaker 1: have been saying for decades that that's what they will do,

105
00:06:37,137 --> 00:06:40,697
Speaker 1: and they seem to be moving in that direction. Does

106
00:06:40,697 --> 00:06:46,537
Speaker 1: the United States government plan to defend Taiwan militarily? They

107
00:06:46,577 --> 00:06:49,137
Speaker 1: won't answer the question. Think about that. I mean, there

108
00:06:49,137 --> 00:06:51,177
Speaker 1: are so many places around the world where the answer

109
00:06:51,177 --> 00:06:53,577
Speaker 1: would be, well, we hope that this country aid doesn't

110
00:06:53,577 --> 00:06:55,137
Speaker 1: involve country be, but we're not about to go to

111
00:06:55,177 --> 00:06:59,097
Speaker 1: war if they do. Strategic ambiguity is, well, maybe we will,

112
00:06:59,217 --> 00:07:01,297
Speaker 1: maybe we won't, We'll see how we feel at the time.

113
00:07:02,297 --> 00:07:05,457
Speaker 1: That's quite a policy. The basis of foreign policy is,

114
00:07:05,617 --> 00:07:07,857
Speaker 1: or the baseline understanding is who are your friends? Who

115
00:07:07,857 --> 00:07:10,977
Speaker 1: are your enemies? Do they know the difference? And does

116
00:07:10,977 --> 00:07:15,617
Speaker 1: it matter that there's a difference. Do we really know

117
00:07:15,737 --> 00:07:18,417
Speaker 1: what we're doing right now with regard to China and Taiwan?

118
00:07:18,777 --> 00:07:20,577
Speaker 1: Is US policy clear? I'd bring you back to that

119
00:07:20,657 --> 00:07:23,377
Speaker 1: Kirby statement, we don't want an independent Taiwan, we want

120
00:07:23,377 --> 00:07:26,497
Speaker 1: a one China. We support the one China policy. So

121
00:07:26,577 --> 00:07:30,777
Speaker 1: then Pelosi shouldn't go because because China says we shouldn't

122
00:07:30,777 --> 00:07:33,257
Speaker 1: do that. The White House, apparently, by the ways, working

123
00:07:33,257 --> 00:07:37,217
Speaker 1: behind the scenes to convince Pelosi not to visit. Behind

124
00:07:37,217 --> 00:07:39,777
Speaker 1: the scenes of Biden administration officials have been working to

125
00:07:39,817 --> 00:07:42,617
Speaker 1: spell out these from CNN the potential risks of a

126
00:07:42,697 --> 00:07:45,617
Speaker 1: visit in meetings with Pelosi and her team. Pentagon officials

127
00:07:45,617 --> 00:07:47,697
Speaker 1: briefed the speaker last week about Taiwan and the heightened

128
00:07:47,737 --> 00:07:50,697
Speaker 1: tensions in the region. White House officials were also present

129
00:07:50,737 --> 00:07:53,217
Speaker 1: for the briefing. The president Let's slip last week at

130
00:07:53,217 --> 00:07:56,297
Speaker 1: the US military was opposed to Pelosi visiting Taiwan now,

131
00:07:56,577 --> 00:08:02,417
Speaker 1: but the White House has refused to expand on his comments. Look, ultimately,

132
00:08:02,937 --> 00:08:04,777
Speaker 1: this comes down to what are we willing to do

133
00:08:05,257 --> 00:08:07,817
Speaker 1: in the defense of that island, Because if we're not

134
00:08:07,857 --> 00:08:09,577
Speaker 1: willing to defend it, it it won't be able to defend

135
00:08:09,617 --> 00:08:14,137
Speaker 1: itself from a Chinese invasion. And what would be willing

136
00:08:14,177 --> 00:08:16,097
Speaker 1: to do if we did decide to defend it. Does

137
00:08:16,097 --> 00:08:18,057
Speaker 1: that mean full scale war? Does it mean some kind

138
00:08:18,057 --> 00:08:22,337
Speaker 1: of attempt at a limited military incursion against an invasion force.

139
00:08:23,217 --> 00:08:24,857
Speaker 1: I don't think there's going to be an active war

140
00:08:24,897 --> 00:08:27,137
Speaker 1: from China over a Pelosi visit. That may or may

141
00:08:27,177 --> 00:08:30,657
Speaker 1: not happen, but it does raise the specter of a

142
00:08:31,737 --> 00:08:37,137
Speaker 1: future US confrontation with China over Taiwan, and we should

143
00:08:37,177 --> 00:08:40,457
Speaker 1: as a country, as a people, understand that now and

144
00:08:40,657 --> 00:08:44,057
Speaker 1: know what the States are and what we would do.

145
00:08:44,937 --> 00:08:48,777
Speaker 1: Strategic ambiguity is nonsense. People who say, oh, we have

146
00:08:48,817 --> 00:08:52,457
Speaker 1: this policy of ambiguity. That's essentially we have not publicly

147
00:08:52,497 --> 00:08:54,937
Speaker 1: decided what we would do. And the truth is because

148
00:08:54,937 --> 00:08:57,057
Speaker 1: we don't know what we would do. And all the

149
00:08:57,097 --> 00:08:58,977
Speaker 1: foreign policy experts that are going to say, oh, but

150
00:08:59,057 --> 00:09:02,857
Speaker 1: we know and we would depends on the administration, depends

151
00:09:02,857 --> 00:09:05,737
Speaker 1: on the time, depends on how we feel right time

152
00:09:05,777 --> 00:09:08,857
Speaker 1: for a much more honest conversation about Taiwan, China, and

153
00:09:08,897 --> 00:09:12,737
Speaker 1: the United States. We'll have more on Polos's possible trip

154
00:09:12,777 --> 00:09:15,097
Speaker 1: to Taiwan, but senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation,

155
00:09:15,137 --> 00:09:17,697
Speaker 1: Dean Chang, coming up first. I'm gonna talk to the

Speaker 1: We'll be right back. In response to how speaker Nancy

178
00:10:30,457 --> 00:10:34,697
Speaker 1: Pelosi's expected visit to Taiwan. China continued some pretty aggressive

179
00:10:34,737 --> 00:10:38,777
Speaker 1: military exercises off its coast over the weekend, including live

180
00:10:38,897 --> 00:10:42,217
Speaker 1: fire drills. The phone call last week, President Shijin Ping

181
00:10:42,417 --> 00:10:47,217
Speaker 1: warned Biden against external interference in Beijing's dealings with the island,

182
00:10:47,257 --> 00:10:50,817
Speaker 1: as China believes Taiwan has no right to conduct foreign relations.

183
00:10:51,177 --> 00:10:53,937
Speaker 1: So what will happen at Pelosi does in fact touchdown

184
00:10:53,977 --> 00:10:57,577
Speaker 1: in Taiwan. Let's ask senior research fell out the Heritage Foundation,

185
00:10:57,697 --> 00:11:01,777
Speaker 1: Dean Chang about this. Dean, thanks so much, absolutely, thanks

186
00:11:01,777 --> 00:11:06,577
Speaker 1: for having me. Let's start with this. Should Pelosi go

187
00:11:07,177 --> 00:11:09,897
Speaker 1: at this point in your mind and explain to us

188
00:11:09,897 --> 00:11:14,057
Speaker 1: what you're thinking is why you think so at this point,

189
00:11:14,097 --> 00:11:16,497
Speaker 1: I don't think we have a choice. I think a

190
00:11:16,497 --> 00:11:19,897
Speaker 1: speaker Pelosi has to go in no small part because

191
00:11:19,897 --> 00:11:23,417
Speaker 1: the Chinese are now insisting that she does not have

192
00:11:23,417 --> 00:11:25,417
Speaker 1: a right to go. And if we give into this,

193
00:11:25,577 --> 00:11:28,377
Speaker 1: if we acceed to the Chinese claims, we are essentially

194
00:11:28,417 --> 00:11:33,057
Speaker 1: giving Beijing veto power over which American officials can and

195
00:11:33,177 --> 00:11:38,097
Speaker 1: presume which American officials cannot then go to Taiwan. BaiWan

196
00:11:38,337 --> 00:11:40,497
Speaker 1: may or may not be independent at this point. It

197
00:11:40,577 --> 00:11:43,057
Speaker 1: is not an independent country. It is not recognized, for example,

198
00:11:43,057 --> 00:11:46,217
Speaker 1: by the United States, but it is also not part

199
00:11:46,257 --> 00:11:48,857
Speaker 1: of China, and it's not for China to dictate whether

200
00:11:48,897 --> 00:11:52,697
Speaker 1: the speaker of the American House can go. Now, what

201
00:11:52,737 --> 00:11:57,937
Speaker 1: do you think are the realistic range of responses from China?

202
00:11:58,017 --> 00:12:00,977
Speaker 1: Assuming Pelosi does touchdown in Taiwan in the next twenty

203
00:12:00,977 --> 00:12:04,417
Speaker 1: four hours, What do you think are the are the

204
00:12:04,537 --> 00:12:07,137
Speaker 1: real possibilities here that we should be looking for in

205
00:12:07,257 --> 00:12:11,657
Speaker 1: terms of response. I think the things that absolutely will happen.

206
00:12:11,817 --> 00:12:16,857
Speaker 1: Kinda will protest. China will make speeches condemning this action, which,

207
00:12:16,937 --> 00:12:20,257
Speaker 1: in their view, jeopardizes peace and stability in the Western Pacific.

208
00:12:20,617 --> 00:12:24,417
Speaker 1: They will likely cross the midline of the Taiwan Straits

209
00:12:24,497 --> 00:12:28,257
Speaker 1: with aircraft. They may send ships now that they're conducting

210
00:12:28,337 --> 00:12:32,217
Speaker 1: live fire exercises across the mid line, notably not within

211
00:12:32,297 --> 00:12:35,737
Speaker 1: twelve notable miles of Taiwan proper that would be very fun,

212
00:12:35,817 --> 00:12:37,497
Speaker 1: but you know, sort of just a crossing the line.

213
00:12:37,617 --> 00:12:41,057
Speaker 1: They'll probably circumnavigate, They will the island, they will probably

214
00:12:41,417 --> 00:12:44,657
Speaker 1: do more cyber attacks. They will probably put economic pressure

215
00:12:44,697 --> 00:12:47,257
Speaker 1: on the island. You hear a bunch of things like

216
00:12:47,337 --> 00:12:50,377
Speaker 1: for examples, they might shoot down Speaker Pelosi's fine. Frankly,

217
00:12:50,417 --> 00:12:54,777
Speaker 1: I think that is irresponsible, not even speculation. It's fantasy

218
00:12:55,137 --> 00:12:57,377
Speaker 1: of people who are hoping that China will do something

219
00:12:57,417 --> 00:12:59,977
Speaker 1: incredibly stupid. But if you take a look in the

220
00:13:00,017 --> 00:13:04,817
Speaker 1: post post Mountsadong Europe, including under Dung Chowpe, the Chinese

221
00:13:04,817 --> 00:13:07,537
Speaker 1: have done nothing similar to say the Russians who have

222
00:13:07,577 --> 00:13:13,457
Speaker 1: actually poisoned dissidents in right, and so Pelosi going is

223
00:13:13,457 --> 00:13:15,737
Speaker 1: the right thing. You think there'll be some noise from

224
00:13:15,817 --> 00:13:18,937
Speaker 1: China about this, but not a whole lot more than

225
00:13:19,617 --> 00:13:22,097
Speaker 1: the measures that you you laid out right, I mean

226
00:13:22,177 --> 00:13:27,217
Speaker 1: crossing this, putting planes closer, but not open hostilities of

227
00:13:27,257 --> 00:13:31,057
Speaker 1: any kind. You don't foresee that happening, you know, policy

228
00:13:31,217 --> 00:13:33,177
Speaker 1: with regard to time. I'm sorry, go ahead, Dean, if

229
00:13:33,177 --> 00:13:36,097
Speaker 1: you wanted to add more. Yeah, I think if you

230
00:13:36,137 --> 00:13:40,017
Speaker 1: are a company headquartered in Speaker Pelosi's district, you're likely

231
00:13:40,017 --> 00:13:42,577
Speaker 1: to get Chinese pressure. If you are a company that

232
00:13:42,657 --> 00:13:46,697
Speaker 1: relies on parts from China in Speaker Pelosi's district, you're

233
00:13:46,697 --> 00:13:49,857
Speaker 1: going to get pressure. But overt hostilities, actually use of

234
00:13:49,897 --> 00:13:53,937
Speaker 1: military forts, no, I don't think so. Now, the Biden

235
00:13:54,017 --> 00:13:57,537
Speaker 1: White House has been back and forth on this issue

236
00:13:57,577 --> 00:14:00,657
Speaker 1: of Taiwan, in part just cleaning up for Joe Biden,

237
00:14:00,657 --> 00:14:02,297
Speaker 1: which is a whole separate issue from what the actual

238
00:14:02,297 --> 00:14:04,337
Speaker 1: policy may be because he's Joe Biden, right, so we've

239
00:14:04,337 --> 00:14:06,297
Speaker 1: all seen that. But putting that aside for a moment.

240
00:14:07,457 --> 00:14:14,297
Speaker 1: The Defense Press Secretary today he said that we that

241
00:14:14,297 --> 00:14:17,777
Speaker 1: the Bide administration does not support an independent Taiwan. We

242
00:14:17,857 --> 00:14:21,097
Speaker 1: have strategic ambiguity. As the phrase that everybody uses about this,

243
00:14:21,857 --> 00:14:25,417
Speaker 1: what really is US policy with regard to Taiwan right now?

244
00:14:25,457 --> 00:14:29,257
Speaker 1: I mean, we're we're gonna send Speaker Pelosi. Probably it

245
00:14:29,297 --> 00:14:31,697
Speaker 1: operates as an independent country, but it's not technically an

246
00:14:31,737 --> 00:14:34,737
Speaker 1: independent country. Would we defend it? Will we not defend it?

247
00:14:34,737 --> 00:14:37,857
Speaker 1: It feels like there are that people act like there

248
00:14:37,897 --> 00:14:39,617
Speaker 1: are clear answers to all this, but there really aren't

249
00:14:39,617 --> 00:14:45,737
Speaker 1: clear answers. So the situation with Taiwan is the follow

250
00:14:46,217 --> 00:14:51,337
Speaker 1: The United States does not want either side did unilaterally

251
00:14:51,497 --> 00:14:55,177
Speaker 1: change the situation in the Taiwan streets. That means we

252
00:14:55,177 --> 00:14:58,097
Speaker 1: don't want kind of invading Taiwan, but we also don't

253
00:14:58,137 --> 00:15:03,737
Speaker 1: want Taiwan declaring independence. And in the past when Taiwan's

254
00:15:03,817 --> 00:15:06,337
Speaker 1: leaders have gone down that path. They have taken very

255
00:15:06,377 --> 00:15:10,497
Speaker 1: irresponsible measures. A former leader of Taiwan went so far

256
00:15:10,537 --> 00:15:12,817
Speaker 1: as to say, you know, America has to defend us.

257
00:15:12,937 --> 00:15:15,097
Speaker 1: They have no choice. So if we declare independence in China,

258
00:15:15,137 --> 00:15:17,457
Speaker 1: attack America will have to come to our rescue. That

259
00:15:17,497 --> 00:15:20,057
Speaker 1: would be like Poland saying if we invade Russia. You know,

260
00:15:20,097 --> 00:15:22,057
Speaker 1: we're a member of NATO, so NATO has to come

261
00:15:22,057 --> 00:15:25,297
Speaker 1: and save the right. That's clearly not the case. That's

262
00:15:25,337 --> 00:15:28,537
Speaker 1: clearly not something anyone signed up for. So that's why

263
00:15:28,537 --> 00:15:32,097
Speaker 1: we have strategic ambiguity. We are saying to Taiwan, look,

264
00:15:32,857 --> 00:15:36,177
Speaker 1: don't deplare independence, don't grow that in the Chinese Spa.

265
00:15:36,657 --> 00:15:39,177
Speaker 1: And we're saying to Beijing, if you launch an in Beijing,

266
00:15:39,657 --> 00:15:41,417
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance that you're going to find

267
00:15:41,417 --> 00:15:43,857
Speaker 1: a seventh fleet in your face, a close in person.

268
00:15:44,457 --> 00:15:47,577
Speaker 1: So that is why we have this policyve strtigue of

269
00:15:47,657 --> 00:15:51,017
Speaker 1: ambiguity because it's a three way situation. Now we are

270
00:15:51,057 --> 00:15:54,417
Speaker 1: trying to keep the lid on both Taipei and Beijing.

271
00:15:54,857 --> 00:15:56,417
Speaker 1: So where does that lead us? Though? I mean, what

272
00:15:56,817 --> 00:15:59,977
Speaker 1: is the pathway? Then it's status quo until someone decides

273
00:15:59,977 --> 00:16:02,937
Speaker 1: to change it, right, So is there a future you

274
00:16:02,977 --> 00:16:05,737
Speaker 1: could see in which China would just decide to go

275
00:16:05,817 --> 00:16:07,537
Speaker 1: for it? Right? I mean, look, Putin did go for

276
00:16:07,617 --> 00:16:13,217
Speaker 1: it in Ukraine. Around twenty twenty seven is when the

277
00:16:13,297 --> 00:16:18,017
Speaker 1: People's Liberation Army says we are going to be fully ready,

278
00:16:18,217 --> 00:16:20,137
Speaker 1: we are going to be fully modernized, will be what

279
00:16:20,177 --> 00:16:25,457
Speaker 1: they term fully mechanized, fully informationized, fully intelligence size. That

280
00:16:25,577 --> 00:16:27,737
Speaker 1: is the period when we are at the greatest danger,

281
00:16:27,977 --> 00:16:30,537
Speaker 1: when the PLA says, whatever you want us to do,

282
00:16:31,057 --> 00:16:33,817
Speaker 1: we are ready to do. And it's also gonna be

283
00:16:33,817 --> 00:16:35,897
Speaker 1: the time when a whole lot of the US military

284
00:16:35,977 --> 00:16:39,977
Speaker 1: is going to be underfunded, when modernization programs are only

285
00:16:39,977 --> 00:16:41,897
Speaker 1: going to be starting, when a whole lot of systems

286
00:16:41,897 --> 00:16:44,697
Speaker 1: are gonna be obsolete. We are retirnationships fasting than we

287
00:16:44,737 --> 00:16:47,017
Speaker 1: are building them, and in twenty twenty seven we're gonna

288
00:16:47,097 --> 00:16:50,017
Speaker 1: probably have a smaller navy than we do now. So

289
00:16:50,417 --> 00:16:53,137
Speaker 1: that is going to be the period of fully greatest danger.

290
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:56,617
Speaker 1: At the moment, we're still on a pretty good situation

291
00:16:56,657 --> 00:16:59,057
Speaker 1: in terms of our military and the PLA. If you

292
00:16:59,097 --> 00:17:02,217
Speaker 1: ask them, we'll say we are not fully modernized yet.

293
00:17:02,457 --> 00:17:04,737
Speaker 1: Are they really committed I mean he's the Communist Is

294
00:17:04,737 --> 00:17:08,417
Speaker 1: the Chinese Commnist Party committed to taking Taiwan by force

295
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:12,937
Speaker 1: when they think they are capable of doing it At

296
00:17:12,937 --> 00:17:15,697
Speaker 1: this point in time, I would say yes, they would

297
00:17:15,697 --> 00:17:19,337
Speaker 1: prefer to take it peacefully. But I think that Jing

298
00:17:19,417 --> 00:17:22,897
Speaker 1: Ping really does believe that E and the CCP have

299
00:17:22,977 --> 00:17:26,457
Speaker 1: a destiny that by twenty forty nine, one hundreds anniversary

300
00:17:26,497 --> 00:17:28,697
Speaker 1: of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it

301
00:17:28,737 --> 00:17:33,457
Speaker 1: will be a full People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan,

302
00:17:33,937 --> 00:17:36,377
Speaker 1: all of these regions will be part of China. I

303
00:17:36,377 --> 00:17:40,817
Speaker 1: think that is truly their game plan. Dean appreciate the aspertise.

304
00:17:40,817 --> 00:17:45,497
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us, Thanks for having as a

305
00:17:45,537 --> 00:17:47,497
Speaker 1: nation in waits to learn whether or not Donald Trump

306
00:17:47,497 --> 00:17:49,257
Speaker 1: will seek another term in the Oval Office. One of

307
00:17:49,257 --> 00:17:51,817
Speaker 1: his top advisors is explaining just how Trump can take

308
00:17:51,857 --> 00:17:54,297
Speaker 1: back the White House in twenty twenty four. When we

309
00:17:54,297 --> 00:17:57,057
Speaker 1: come back. Former Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter

310
00:17:57,137 --> 00:17:59,417
Speaker 1: Navarro joins us to give his insight into a potential

311
00:17:59,417 --> 00:18:01,857
Speaker 1: Trump run. First, let's talk about my friends at my

312
00:18:01,937 --> 00:18:04,977
Speaker 1: Patriots Supply. You might not realize this, but punishing food

313
00:18:04,977 --> 00:18:08,297
Speaker 1: shortages are likely coming. In Europe, farmers are protesting high

314
00:18:08,337 --> 00:18:11,737
Speaker 1: fertilizer and fuel costs. They're gonna cut production, and American

315
00:18:11,777 --> 00:18:14,497
Speaker 1: farmers will likely do the same. When farmers cut production,

316
00:18:14,697 --> 00:18:16,737
Speaker 1: you get food shortages, and if you don't personally have

317
00:18:16,737 --> 00:18:19,897
Speaker 1: emergency backup food to get through those shortages, you could

318
00:18:19,897 --> 00:18:22,057
Speaker 1: even be forced to stand in line at the store

319
00:18:22,137 --> 00:18:24,497
Speaker 1: and government food lines to feed your family. You want

320
00:18:24,537 --> 00:18:26,497
Speaker 1: to avoid that, you need to go with Prepare with

332
00:18:56,737 --> 00:19:05,497
Speaker 1: Stay with us. The questions that are on everybody's minds

333
00:19:05,537 --> 00:19:09,097
Speaker 1: these days. Will Donald Trump run for a second term

334
00:19:09,137 --> 00:19:13,017
Speaker 1: as president, and so can he defeat his Democratic opponent.

335
00:19:13,257 --> 00:19:16,417
Speaker 1: One of the former president's top advisors, Peter Navarro, thinks

336
00:19:16,457 --> 00:19:20,657
Speaker 1: he has the answers. In his forthcoming book entitled taking

337
00:19:20,697 --> 00:19:23,057
Speaker 1: Back Trump's America, Why We Lost the White House and

338
00:19:23,057 --> 00:19:26,257
Speaker 1: How We'll win it back, Peter examines what went wrong

339
00:19:26,857 --> 00:19:29,497
Speaker 1: in Trump's first term and how he can ultimately take

340
00:19:29,537 --> 00:19:32,577
Speaker 1: back the White House in twenty twenty four. Running me

341
00:19:32,617 --> 00:19:35,697
Speaker 1: now to discuss Former Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy

342
00:19:35,737 --> 00:19:39,537
Speaker 1: for President Trump, Peter Navarro, Peter going to see him, Julie.

343
00:19:39,817 --> 00:19:43,417
Speaker 1: Great to be with you again, sir, and yes he's

344
00:19:43,457 --> 00:19:47,497
Speaker 1: gonna run in The Taking Back Trump's America book really

345
00:19:47,577 --> 00:19:51,217
Speaker 1: is a blueprint and battle cry for the whole MAGA

346
00:19:51,377 --> 00:19:54,937
Speaker 1: movement not just to take back the White House for

347
00:19:55,057 --> 00:20:00,457
Speaker 1: Trump in twenty twenty four, but importantly it'd also grab

348
00:20:00,897 --> 00:20:05,137
Speaker 1: that House of Representatives from the clutches of the Nancy

349
00:20:05,257 --> 00:20:10,337
Speaker 1: Pelosi back in twenty eighteen. One of the mist as

350
00:20:10,377 --> 00:20:13,857
Speaker 1: we made that I documented into Taking Back Trump's America

351
00:20:13,937 --> 00:20:18,737
Speaker 1: book was to focus too narrowly on the Senate races

352
00:20:18,777 --> 00:20:21,897
Speaker 1: in the mid term elections. We could have held on

353
00:20:22,497 --> 00:20:27,497
Speaker 1: to the House of Representatives in twenty eighteen. But there

354
00:20:27,577 --> 00:20:30,177
Speaker 1: was a couple of people inside the White House who

355
00:20:30,257 --> 00:20:34,817
Speaker 1: screwed that up, to be honest, and the hell we

356
00:20:34,897 --> 00:20:38,217
Speaker 1: would pay for that single mistake would be massive, because

357
00:20:38,257 --> 00:20:41,657
Speaker 1: once you put the House in charge of Pelosi and

358
00:20:41,777 --> 00:20:48,777
Speaker 1: Shift and little Jamie Raskin, they unleashed several discredited impeachment trials,

359
00:20:49,137 --> 00:20:54,577
Speaker 1: an all manner of weaponized investigations for partisan ends, which

360
00:20:55,337 --> 00:20:59,977
Speaker 1: you know, the President obviously didn't get successfully impeached. But

361
00:21:00,177 --> 00:21:04,257
Speaker 1: I think but the drip drip drip of the water

362
00:21:04,417 --> 00:21:07,577
Speaker 1: torture from those bastards, and I call them that with

363
00:21:07,697 --> 00:21:11,417
Speaker 1: all due affection, took its So we've got to get

364
00:21:11,417 --> 00:21:15,097
Speaker 1: the house bag in twenty twenty two. I'm really focused

365
00:21:15,137 --> 00:21:19,657
Speaker 1: on that. Now I do it with Trump Republicans, Trump Republicans,

366
00:21:19,697 --> 00:21:23,737
Speaker 1: not just Republicans. And then, yeah, there's no question in

367
00:21:23,777 --> 00:21:26,137
Speaker 1: my mind that the Boss runs. He hasn't told me that,

368
00:21:27,137 --> 00:21:30,097
Speaker 1: but um, you know, he'd win if he run, and

369
00:21:30,137 --> 00:21:32,657
Speaker 1: he knows what to do, and this nation needs him

370
00:21:32,697 --> 00:21:38,617
Speaker 1: because God knows, the Democrats you're doing every single thing wrong. Peter.

371
00:21:38,777 --> 00:21:40,257
Speaker 1: I know in the in the book, you lay out

372
00:21:40,337 --> 00:21:43,537
Speaker 1: what you think would be a dream Trump cabinet for

373
00:21:43,737 --> 00:21:47,057
Speaker 1: term two, you've got, for example, former Trump National's Curtenty

374
00:21:47,057 --> 00:21:50,017
Speaker 1: advisor Robert O. Bryan becomes Secretary of State. Ben Carson

375
00:21:50,137 --> 00:21:54,657
Speaker 1: runs runs HHS. Leidheiser goes over to Commerce. Cash Betel,

376
00:21:54,817 --> 00:21:57,537
Speaker 1: friend of mine, friend of the show, becomes d n I.

377
00:21:57,977 --> 00:22:02,697
Speaker 1: John Ratcliffe becomes CIA director. Ken Kucinelli returns as head

378
00:22:02,697 --> 00:22:05,857
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. So some very good folks in there.

379
00:22:06,497 --> 00:22:10,457
Speaker 1: I gotta ask, do you think that the former President

380
00:22:10,457 --> 00:22:14,297
Speaker 1: Trump now recognizes that there were some pretty big mistakes

381
00:22:14,337 --> 00:22:17,017
Speaker 1: made in the first term in terms of personnel, especially

382
00:22:17,057 --> 00:22:19,177
Speaker 1: giving that there are people that have now made careers

383
00:22:19,217 --> 00:22:22,097
Speaker 1: who were senior officials trashing the man they went to

384
00:22:22,097 --> 00:22:25,937
Speaker 1: work for. Yeah. The answer, the quick answers yes. The

385
00:22:26,017 --> 00:22:29,297
Speaker 1: more textured answer, you go back to the Reagan years. Buck,

386
00:22:29,657 --> 00:22:33,417
Speaker 1: there was this saying personnel is policy, and Reagan wanted

387
00:22:33,417 --> 00:22:35,417
Speaker 1: to make sure that he got the right people in

388
00:22:35,457 --> 00:22:39,577
Speaker 1: there so he'd have his reagan As policies. In the

389
00:22:39,657 --> 00:22:42,857
Speaker 1: Taking Back Trump's America book, I refine that that bad

390
00:22:42,977 --> 00:22:47,777
Speaker 1: personnel is not just bad policy, but bad politics. And

391
00:22:48,177 --> 00:22:50,737
Speaker 1: if you go back and look at all the mistakes

392
00:22:50,777 --> 00:22:54,057
Speaker 1: that were made, the president is well aware that there

393
00:22:54,057 --> 00:22:56,377
Speaker 1: were a lot of people in there that shouldn't have

394
00:22:56,457 --> 00:22:59,097
Speaker 1: been and did him damage. I mean, look just all

395
00:22:59,137 --> 00:23:01,537
Speaker 1: the people he had to fire, whether it was Rex

396
00:23:01,577 --> 00:23:06,737
Speaker 1: Tillerson in stage, Jim Mattis at the Defense Department. But

397
00:23:07,457 --> 00:23:11,777
Speaker 1: the two people that I really feel ultimately did the

398
00:23:11,817 --> 00:23:14,457
Speaker 1: most damage to the boss with two people who stayed

399
00:23:14,457 --> 00:23:17,617
Speaker 1: on and should never darken the Boss's door again. And

400
00:23:18,097 --> 00:23:20,897
Speaker 1: that would have been Steve Manuchin at the Treasury Department,

401
00:23:20,897 --> 00:23:26,257
Speaker 1: who completely undermined our China tough on China policy at

402
00:23:26,257 --> 00:23:28,937
Speaker 1: the same time that he bobbled the ball up on

403
00:23:29,017 --> 00:23:33,937
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. And then Jared Kushner, who really had the damage.

404
00:23:34,497 --> 00:23:38,177
Speaker 1: When when you get through reading taking Back Trump's America

405
00:23:38,217 --> 00:23:42,217
Speaker 1: and catalog all of the damage Kushner did, you'll see

406
00:23:42,297 --> 00:23:45,497
Speaker 1: that he never belonged there to begin within the boss.

407
00:23:45,857 --> 00:23:49,217
Speaker 1: Look he Look, Kushner has taken himself out of the

408
00:23:49,217 --> 00:23:52,897
Speaker 1: equation with his behavior after the first term here selling

409
00:23:52,977 --> 00:23:56,457
Speaker 1: out to all the interests that he was catering to

410
00:23:56,617 --> 00:24:02,377
Speaker 1: when he was inside. But bad personnel, bad policy, bad politics.

411
00:24:02,697 --> 00:24:06,137
Speaker 1: We can't make that mistake again. I think President Trump

412
00:24:06,217 --> 00:24:10,617
Speaker 1: is well aware that he needs to really really get

413
00:24:10,617 --> 00:24:12,137
Speaker 1: a strong ale and see that's why I put up

414
00:24:12,137 --> 00:24:14,737
Speaker 1: the dream Cabinet, and Buck by the way I put in,

415
00:24:16,617 --> 00:24:19,137
Speaker 1: I recommend it. I went through all the possible vice

416
00:24:19,177 --> 00:24:25,017
Speaker 1: president candidates, and I think the optimal situation is to

417
00:24:25,017 --> 00:24:28,937
Speaker 1: see if de Santos will agree to be as VP

418
00:24:29,137 --> 00:24:31,497
Speaker 1: and just clear the field. I think if they did, Dad,

419
00:24:31,977 --> 00:24:34,297
Speaker 1: and that's into Santa's interest because he'd be in the

420
00:24:34,297 --> 00:24:38,817
Speaker 1: White House for twelve years because he'd successfully run after that.

421
00:24:39,977 --> 00:24:43,737
Speaker 1: But but below the Santis, it's a pretty thin bench

422
00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:48,097
Speaker 1: in terms of possible VP candidates. Your book goes into

423
00:24:48,457 --> 00:24:50,897
Speaker 1: the five what you call the five strategic failures of

424
00:24:50,897 --> 00:24:53,617
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Yeah. See, I find this really interesting

425
00:24:53,657 --> 00:24:56,577
Speaker 1: because one thing that's taking back Trump's America. You know,

426
00:24:56,897 --> 00:24:59,137
Speaker 1: I was a big Trump supporter. Obviously you were a

427
00:24:59,177 --> 00:25:01,857
Speaker 1: major part of the administration. You're a Trump supporter to

428
00:25:01,897 --> 00:25:06,217
Speaker 1: this day. I was always frustrated that there was very

429
00:25:06,257 --> 00:25:10,017
Speaker 1: little room for trying to coach the administration right rooting

430
00:25:10,177 --> 00:25:12,457
Speaker 1: for the team, so to speak, but coaching in the

431
00:25:12,537 --> 00:25:15,257
Speaker 1: right direction. People said, oh, you're staying Trump knows what

432
00:25:15,297 --> 00:25:17,497
Speaker 1: he's doing with the MAGA agenda, and just be quiet

433
00:25:17,577 --> 00:25:21,057
Speaker 1: everything else. There were some places where with any administration,

434
00:25:21,177 --> 00:25:24,257
Speaker 1: things could have been better. You talk about five strategic failures.

435
00:25:24,297 --> 00:25:27,857
Speaker 1: You want a successful second Trump term. So what are

436
00:25:27,857 --> 00:25:29,817
Speaker 1: the lessons learned? What are the things that need to

437
00:25:29,817 --> 00:25:33,537
Speaker 1: be applied for the next time around? Well, there's there's

438
00:25:33,577 --> 00:25:36,217
Speaker 1: four hundred pages of that in the Taking Back Trump's

439
00:25:36,257 --> 00:25:42,497
Speaker 1: America book, But I think that look pure maga is

440
00:25:42,577 --> 00:25:47,217
Speaker 1: three things. It's secure, secure boarders, certainly, and in the

441
00:25:47,217 --> 00:25:50,297
Speaker 1: analysts wars. But the really important thing, and really the

442
00:25:50,417 --> 00:25:54,337
Speaker 1: key politically the battleground states, is the fair trade. I mean,

443
00:25:54,857 --> 00:26:00,177
Speaker 1: Republicans are a dime a dozen who support cutting taxes

444
00:26:00,217 --> 00:26:03,537
Speaker 1: and deregulation and even one of the things that was

445
00:26:03,577 --> 00:26:06,897
Speaker 1: the hallmark of Trump's administration where we got strategic energy

446
00:26:06,937 --> 00:26:11,417
Speaker 1: dominance and energy important independence. I mean we didn't have

447
00:26:11,457 --> 00:26:15,177
Speaker 1: to do that, But what really the future of this

448
00:26:15,337 --> 00:26:19,577
Speaker 1: country really depends on onshore in our manufacturing, and that's

449
00:26:20,217 --> 00:26:22,657
Speaker 1: what we got to focus on. That's what the Boss

450
00:26:22,697 --> 00:26:25,577
Speaker 1: really wanted to do. But too many times there were

451
00:26:25,617 --> 00:26:30,337
Speaker 1: just too many people inside Manu Chin, Cudlow, Gary Comb

452
00:26:30,417 --> 00:26:34,857
Speaker 1: before him, in the National Economic Council, Tillerson, and State.

453
00:26:35,137 --> 00:26:39,297
Speaker 1: And I documented the Taking Back Trump's America book all

454
00:26:39,337 --> 00:26:41,457
Speaker 1: of times I had to fight these guys. I mean

455
00:26:41,497 --> 00:26:44,097
Speaker 1: it was like we'd go into the Roosevelt Room, We'd

456
00:26:44,097 --> 00:26:47,777
Speaker 1: be sitting around the whole cabinet and the White House

457
00:26:47,857 --> 00:26:51,217
Speaker 1: senior officials, and that Trump and I would be the

458
00:26:51,257 --> 00:26:54,257
Speaker 1: only people in the room who wanted tariffs on steel

459
00:26:54,297 --> 00:26:56,817
Speaker 1: and illuminum in China. And I'm thinking to myself, what

460
00:26:56,897 --> 00:26:59,217
Speaker 1: the hell is going on here? It's like, that's not

461
00:26:59,297 --> 00:27:02,217
Speaker 1: what we can you know. It's like, we can't paint

462
00:27:02,297 --> 00:27:05,777
Speaker 1: on tariffs. We got elected on tariffs. We got elected

463
00:27:05,817 --> 00:27:08,697
Speaker 1: on tough on China. Why are all these people in

464
00:27:08,697 --> 00:27:13,457
Speaker 1: this room here and against that? So yeah, I mean,

465
00:27:13,617 --> 00:27:19,657
Speaker 1: look the past, this prologue, you've heard that it can't

466
00:27:19,697 --> 00:27:22,457
Speaker 1: be in the second term. You know, it's taking back

467
00:27:22,457 --> 00:27:24,617
Speaker 1: Trump's America is not only about how to win the

468
00:27:24,617 --> 00:27:28,817
Speaker 1: White House back, but it's how to govern even more effectively.

469
00:27:28,817 --> 00:27:31,017
Speaker 1: I mean, end of the day, Trump was the most

470
00:27:31,017 --> 00:27:35,097
Speaker 1: effective president in modern history on the economy and on

471
00:27:35,217 --> 00:27:39,377
Speaker 1: national security. We had peace, we had prosperity, but we

472
00:27:39,497 --> 00:27:42,657
Speaker 1: still left a lot of stuff on the table. All right,

473
00:27:42,777 --> 00:27:45,297
Speaker 1: I'll get my copy today. Peter, thanks for being with us.

474
00:27:46,217 --> 00:27:47,977
Speaker 1: It was a pleasure, my friend. Thanks for having me on.

475
00:27:48,137 --> 00:27:53,377
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that in a stunning about face, the

476
00:27:53,457 --> 00:27:56,537
Speaker 1: Disney back streaming service Hulu will now allow democratic campaign

477
00:27:56,537 --> 00:27:58,817
Speaker 1: ads on the issues of abortion and gun control to

478
00:27:59,057 --> 00:28:01,697
Speaker 1: air on the service. We'll have more on that with

479
00:28:01,737 --> 00:28:04,417
Speaker 1: Commas with Washington examiner Beckett Adams after the break, But

480
00:28:04,417 --> 00:28:05,897
Speaker 1: first I want to talk to you about protecting your

481
00:28:05,897 --> 00:28:09,017
Speaker 1: online data. A lot of companies promise your privacy is guaranteed,

482
00:28:09,057 --> 00:28:11,137
Speaker 1: but we know that's not true. That's why you need

483
00:28:11,137 --> 00:28:14,377
Speaker 1: a new privacy and cybersecurity application tool called Secure. It's

484
00:28:14,377 --> 00:28:18,577
Speaker 1: spelled SEK. You are Secure is using proprietary encryption and

485
00:28:18,697 --> 00:28:22,057
Speaker 1: offering secure instant messaging and email with Secure all of

486
00:28:22,057 --> 00:28:24,737
Speaker 1: your communications based on servers and data centers hosted in

487
00:28:24,737 --> 00:28:27,857
Speaker 1: Switzerland without using any of the big tech platforms. Privacy

488
00:28:28,057 --> 00:28:30,777
Speaker 1: is a big issue now. Without real security, people can

489
00:28:30,817 --> 00:28:33,977
Speaker 1: read your emails, messages, even your bank information. Secure will

490
00:28:34,017 --> 00:28:36,217
Speaker 1: never mind your data and never ask for your phone number.

491
00:28:36,297 --> 00:28:38,537
Speaker 1: You can send emails to your doctor, banker, lawyer, or

492
00:28:38,577 --> 00:28:40,897
Speaker 1: anyone else with total confidence you're not being spied on

493
00:28:40,937 --> 00:28:43,857
Speaker 1: by your internet provider or Big Peck. Secure is your

494
00:28:43,977 --> 00:28:46,537
Speaker 1: solution to stop the constant after your digital identity. Cost

495
00:28:46,577 --> 00:28:48,897
Speaker 1: only five dollars for the messenger and only ten dollars

496
00:28:48,897 --> 00:28:51,657
Speaker 1: from the messenger and email combination package. Go to secure

00:28:54,697 --> 00:28:57,617
Speaker 1: are dot com and use promo code buck for twenty

499
00:28:57,617 --> 00:28:59,937
Speaker 1: five percent off. We'll be right back with more all

500
00:28:59,977 --> 00:29:09,217
Speaker 1: the line. In a stunning about phase streaming service, Hulu

501
00:29:09,337 --> 00:29:13,017
Speaker 1: will now allow democratic campaign ads on issues of abortion,

502
00:29:13,377 --> 00:29:17,257
Speaker 1: gun control, and the January sixth Capital riot, after initially

503
00:29:17,377 --> 00:29:20,697
Speaker 1: refusing to run them. The reversal comes after a number

504
00:29:20,697 --> 00:29:24,177
Speaker 1: of Democratic groups accused Hulu of political censorship. In a

505
00:29:24,257 --> 00:29:26,617
Speaker 1: statement to The Washington Post, the group said, quote voters

506
00:29:26,657 --> 00:29:30,457
Speaker 1: have the right to know the facts about MAGA Republicans

507
00:29:30,617 --> 00:29:33,777
Speaker 1: agenda on issues like abortion, and Hulu is doing a

508
00:29:33,857 --> 00:29:36,577
Speaker 1: huge disservice to the American people by blocking voters from

509
00:29:36,657 --> 00:29:40,097
Speaker 1: learning the truth about the GOP record or denying these

510
00:29:40,137 --> 00:29:43,337
Speaker 1: issues from even being discussed. Who lose decision to cave

511
00:29:43,417 --> 00:29:46,137
Speaker 1: to the pressure violates its long standing policy against airing

512
00:29:46,177 --> 00:29:51,177
Speaker 1: ads featuring quote content that takes a position on controversial

513
00:29:51,217 --> 00:29:54,537
Speaker 1: issues of public importance. So why the change of heart?

514
00:29:55,097 --> 00:29:57,857
Speaker 1: Let's talk to the program director of the National Journalism

515
00:29:57,897 --> 00:30:01,177
Speaker 1: Center and Commas. The Washington Examiner and buddy from my

516
00:30:01,297 --> 00:30:04,897
Speaker 1: Blaze days, mister Beckett, Adams Beckett, good to see it,

517
00:30:05,617 --> 00:30:09,137
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Didn't last very long. I mean

518
00:30:09,177 --> 00:30:10,857
Speaker 1: I think it was a week ago. Either a story

519
00:30:10,897 --> 00:30:12,577
Speaker 1: here about how oh Hulu says they're not going to

520
00:30:12,617 --> 00:30:15,897
Speaker 1: take these ads. Whoops, now they are? What changed here?

521
00:30:15,937 --> 00:30:20,097
Speaker 1: What really changed? You already used the words pressure. Democrats

522
00:30:20,177 --> 00:30:21,977
Speaker 1: play their hand really well on this. They went and

523
00:30:21,977 --> 00:30:24,577
Speaker 1: complained to the right people, being the press, whether it

524
00:30:24,617 --> 00:30:26,977
Speaker 1: was leaking letters to you know, sort of the left

525
00:30:27,017 --> 00:30:29,817
Speaker 1: wing blogs like Jess Bell, and then going directly with

526
00:30:29,897 --> 00:30:34,137
Speaker 1: the original juicy exclusive statements to the Washington Post, and

527
00:30:34,177 --> 00:30:38,057
Speaker 1: they pushed and then to their benefit, the press handed

528
00:30:38,097 --> 00:30:41,417
Speaker 1: this like it was something unprecedented and shocking when, as

529
00:30:41,457 --> 00:30:44,137
Speaker 1: you already mentioned, Hulu has a long standing policy against

530
00:30:44,137 --> 00:30:45,777
Speaker 1: these sort of ads. But all you need to do

531
00:30:45,817 --> 00:30:47,257
Speaker 1: is get a little bit of pressure from the right

532
00:30:47,257 --> 00:30:48,977
Speaker 1: places and media. Next thing, you know, where you got

533
00:30:48,977 --> 00:30:51,737
Speaker 1: yourself a PR crisis in the easiest way out is

534
00:30:51,737 --> 00:30:55,097
Speaker 1: to just cave. I gotta ask you this because you know,

535
00:30:55,137 --> 00:30:59,137
Speaker 1: I'm a former Hulu subscriber and I bailed after I

536
00:30:59,177 --> 00:31:01,297
Speaker 1: just felt like every every time I clicked that any

537
00:31:01,377 --> 00:31:04,057
Speaker 1: knew offering from Hulu. You know, I was getting a

538
00:31:05,417 --> 00:31:09,497
Speaker 1: lecture on either trans issues or race relations or something else.

539
00:31:09,537 --> 00:31:12,897
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, I thought this was like a quiz show,

540
00:31:13,057 --> 00:31:16,337
Speaker 1: or I thought I was watching a cooking show, and

541
00:31:16,337 --> 00:31:18,217
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it didn't matter what it was

542
00:31:18,457 --> 00:31:21,057
Speaker 1: at all, and they just made it made it about wokeness,

543
00:31:21,097 --> 00:31:23,617
Speaker 1: and it just a lot of content was just garbage too.

544
00:31:23,817 --> 00:31:25,217
Speaker 1: So I just want to know, I mean, do you

545
00:31:25,257 --> 00:31:28,657
Speaker 1: think that does Hulu even care what its subscribers want

546
00:31:28,697 --> 00:31:30,537
Speaker 1: when it comes to this decision, or is this just

547
00:31:30,617 --> 00:31:36,417
Speaker 1: the the peer group pressure that the C suite folks decided, well,

548
00:31:36,817 --> 00:31:39,257
Speaker 1: we don't we don't want to be treated poorly, as

549
00:31:39,337 --> 00:31:41,777
Speaker 1: you said in Jezebel or you know, the Daily Beast

550
00:31:41,897 --> 00:31:45,017
Speaker 1: or any of these left wing rags. Well, right, the

551
00:31:45,057 --> 00:31:47,497
Speaker 1: easiest way out of this is just do it. It

552
00:31:47,657 --> 00:31:50,337
Speaker 1: was interesting that that should be noted as on other

553
00:31:50,417 --> 00:31:53,937
Speaker 1: Disney affiliated networks, including there was an ABC News affiliate

554
00:31:53,977 --> 00:31:56,617
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia and ESPN they ran some of these ads.

555
00:31:56,777 --> 00:31:59,297
Speaker 1: So Democrats were getting what they wanted. They just wanted

556
00:31:59,337 --> 00:32:02,657
Speaker 1: a carve out for themselves, a special exemption from Hulu,

557
00:32:02,697 --> 00:32:04,617
Speaker 1: and they got it just by complaining to the Washington

558
00:32:04,617 --> 00:32:07,577
Speaker 1: Post and the press. This is important working hand in

559
00:32:07,617 --> 00:32:09,817
Speaker 1: hand to talk about how this was tense amounts of

560
00:32:10,097 --> 00:32:12,257
Speaker 1: the cool censorship, despite the fact that even as the

561
00:32:12,297 --> 00:32:15,337
Speaker 1: Washington Post notes, this is a longstanding policy they just

562
00:32:15,377 --> 00:32:17,697
Speaker 1: wanted to carve out and now they got it being

563
00:32:17,697 --> 00:32:20,217
Speaker 1: in a censorship. I'm sure you saw that. On the

564
00:32:20,337 --> 00:32:25,297
Speaker 1: issue of recession, there have been efforts to shut down

565
00:32:25,297 --> 00:32:29,657
Speaker 1: the Wikipedia page from new edits on the word recession.

566
00:32:29,697 --> 00:32:33,257
Speaker 1: Elon Musk even tweeted out about this over the weekend.

567
00:32:34,737 --> 00:32:37,777
Speaker 1: This all feels very soviet. It all feels like we're

568
00:32:37,817 --> 00:32:41,297
Speaker 1: now at the point in our politics where the power

569
00:32:41,417 --> 00:32:44,137
Speaker 1: centers will decide that words don't mean what they mean,

570
00:32:44,497 --> 00:32:47,457
Speaker 1: and the media, which are supposed to be back at

571
00:32:47,457 --> 00:32:51,377
Speaker 1: the guardians of free speech, which is laughable when you

572
00:32:51,417 --> 00:32:53,417
Speaker 1: say that out loud, they go along with us. They're like, yeah,

573
00:32:53,497 --> 00:32:56,497
Speaker 1: let's just redefine recession. Yeah, this is the issue you

574
00:32:56,577 --> 00:32:58,577
Speaker 1: get into where people start poking fun at you and

575
00:32:58,657 --> 00:33:01,817
Speaker 1: saying slippery slow oh, but this is where it starts.

576
00:33:01,857 --> 00:33:03,777
Speaker 1: And not to be cliche or trite, but you know,

577
00:33:03,857 --> 00:33:06,057
Speaker 1: George Orrell wrote about this in The Politics and the

578
00:33:06,097 --> 00:33:08,177
Speaker 1: English Language. If you want to win you got to

579
00:33:08,177 --> 00:33:10,057
Speaker 1: capture the language. And we're seeing this in real time,

580
00:33:10,377 --> 00:33:13,017
Speaker 1: watching the White House and its allies in the press

581
00:33:13,097 --> 00:33:17,257
Speaker 1: in real time redefining the term recession. For literally decades,

582
00:33:17,497 --> 00:33:19,817
Speaker 1: we've all agreed on one tournament. Now people are saying, actually,

583
00:33:19,817 --> 00:33:23,177
Speaker 1: it's not two consecutive quarters of negative GDP. That never mattered.

584
00:33:23,617 --> 00:33:26,857
Speaker 1: Paul Krugman said, verbatim, ignore the two quarter rule. And

585
00:33:27,097 --> 00:33:29,977
Speaker 1: he never said or answered the question why why should

586
00:33:29,977 --> 00:33:32,817
Speaker 1: we suddenly do this? Because words now, our fluid words

587
00:33:32,857 --> 00:33:34,497
Speaker 1: mean what we need them to be. We see Mariam

588
00:33:34,537 --> 00:33:38,217
Speaker 1: Webster on the fly during the you know, the confirmation

589
00:33:38,257 --> 00:33:40,817
Speaker 1: hearings of Amy Komi Barrett was on the fly redefining

590
00:33:40,857 --> 00:33:44,097
Speaker 1: certain terms like sexual orientation. It's it's a scary place

591
00:33:44,097 --> 00:33:45,657
Speaker 1: to get to. Even again, I don't want to sound

592
00:33:45,697 --> 00:33:48,097
Speaker 1: like the slippery slope on paranoid, but this is how

593
00:33:48,097 --> 00:33:49,857
Speaker 1: it starts. When you start playing with the words and

594
00:33:49,857 --> 00:33:52,417
Speaker 1: you start redefining them on the fly for political purposes,

595
00:33:52,657 --> 00:33:56,257
Speaker 1: that's when the echo where hyperinflation doesn't mean anything evenymore,

596
00:33:56,297 --> 00:33:58,137
Speaker 1: and the next thing, you know, the word war doesn't

597
00:33:58,137 --> 00:34:02,177
Speaker 1: mean anything anymore. Just also in the media realm, I

598
00:34:02,617 --> 00:34:04,457
Speaker 1: wanted to ask for your take on this. You know,

599
00:34:04,497 --> 00:34:06,857
Speaker 1: there's some reporting that whether it's The New York Times

600
00:34:06,937 --> 00:34:12,897
Speaker 1: or CNN, there's a recognition that Republican lawmakers won't even

601
00:34:12,977 --> 00:34:15,577
Speaker 1: go on certain that they won't sit for interviews with

602
00:34:15,617 --> 00:34:18,377
Speaker 1: certain journalists who are at places like The New York Times.

603
00:34:18,497 --> 00:34:20,977
Speaker 1: They won't go on CNN. By the way, I think

604
00:34:20,977 --> 00:34:24,177
Speaker 1: that Republicans who do go on CNN are generally just

605
00:34:24,617 --> 00:34:27,177
Speaker 1: opening themselves up to ambush. I think it's a stupid

606
00:34:27,217 --> 00:34:29,537
Speaker 1: move a lot of the time, or has been, certainly

607
00:34:29,537 --> 00:34:32,457
Speaker 1: in the Trump era, and it's aftermath a stupid move

608
00:34:32,497 --> 00:34:34,737
Speaker 1: for Republicans to go on CNN because they're not getting

609
00:34:34,737 --> 00:34:37,177
Speaker 1: a fair shake, not even close to it. Now. The

610
00:34:37,217 --> 00:34:42,857
Speaker 1: head of CNN, Chris Licht, is reportedly meeting with Republican

611
00:34:42,937 --> 00:34:45,177
Speaker 1: members of Congress to tell them, and he went down

612
00:34:45,177 --> 00:34:47,337
Speaker 1: to Capitol Hill for this to tell them, we really

613
00:34:47,377 --> 00:34:49,217
Speaker 1: would appreciate if you would come on our heir. I

614
00:34:49,257 --> 00:34:52,097
Speaker 1: promise from the very top, you're not going to just

615
00:34:52,137 --> 00:34:54,257
Speaker 1: have tomatoes thrown at you, because that is what I

616
00:34:54,337 --> 00:34:55,737
Speaker 1: used to work at CN and I know this, that

617
00:34:55,857 --> 00:34:58,817
Speaker 1: is what they were doing there for years, right. I mean,

618
00:34:58,817 --> 00:35:01,017
Speaker 1: there's a difference between going to the lions Den and

619
00:35:01,057 --> 00:35:03,377
Speaker 1: then cutting out your heart and offering it up on

620
00:35:03,377 --> 00:35:05,977
Speaker 1: a platter. I think it's great if for polkins want

621
00:35:05,977 --> 00:35:08,497
Speaker 1: to meet and do interviews with tough journalists who ask

622
00:35:08,577 --> 00:35:11,137
Speaker 1: tough questions. But there's a difference between doing that and

623
00:35:11,137 --> 00:35:14,657
Speaker 1: then having John Hayward or having Candy Crowley moderate your debates.

624
00:35:14,857 --> 00:35:16,457
Speaker 1: I think it's a long time for the GOP to

625
00:35:16,457 --> 00:35:17,897
Speaker 1: actually take a line on some of this stuff and

626
00:35:17,937 --> 00:35:20,337
Speaker 1: say this isn't worth our time. It is a setup.

627
00:35:20,377 --> 00:35:22,857
Speaker 1: Why would I go on John Stewart to have you,

628
00:35:22,857 --> 00:35:24,617
Speaker 1: you know, edit what I'm saying. Not to say John

629
00:35:24,617 --> 00:35:27,977
Speaker 1: Stewart's a media guy, but increasingly there's a little difference

630
00:35:27,977 --> 00:35:30,697
Speaker 1: between what media guys doing what John Stewart does, and

631
00:35:31,017 --> 00:35:33,057
Speaker 1: why would you do that? So I think it's a

632
00:35:33,137 --> 00:35:36,097
Speaker 1: natural reaction to being given a raw deal. And it's

633
00:35:36,097 --> 00:35:38,617
Speaker 1: funny now to hear the press kind of say this

634
00:35:38,737 --> 00:35:41,777
Speaker 1: sort of concern trolling. Oh, if you don't talk to us,

635
00:35:41,777 --> 00:35:45,177
Speaker 1: it might hurt your electoral chances. It's like a friend

636
00:35:45,177 --> 00:35:46,857
Speaker 1: of mine made a really good analogy and it's that's

637
00:35:47,017 --> 00:35:51,737
Speaker 1: like a line, or you know, it's like what's your name?

638
00:35:51,817 --> 00:35:54,977
Speaker 1: From Charlie Brown, who Lucy, Lucy van Pell, Sorry, a

639
00:35:55,017 --> 00:35:57,457
Speaker 1: little like that, Lucy van Pell complaining that if Charlie

640
00:35:57,457 --> 00:35:59,737
Speaker 1: Brown doesn't kick the football, he's now endangering the game

641
00:35:59,737 --> 00:36:02,577
Speaker 1: of football. At some point you kind of wise up

642
00:36:02,577 --> 00:36:04,897
Speaker 1: to the tricks, and I think it's a natural progression

643
00:36:04,897 --> 00:36:07,297
Speaker 1: at this point. Okay, thanks for being one of us.

644
00:36:07,297 --> 00:36:11,697
Speaker 1: Good to see if thanks for having me. President Biden

645
00:36:11,777 --> 00:36:15,017
Speaker 1: is back in isolation after testing positive once again for

646
00:36:15,257 --> 00:36:18,337
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. We'll have that store for you in quick hits. First,

647
00:36:18,377 --> 00:36:20,177
Speaker 1: let's talk about a potential opportunity. A lot of you

648
00:36:20,177 --> 00:36:22,737
Speaker 1: are worried about the reported food shortages and power outages

649
00:36:22,777 --> 00:36:24,857
Speaker 1: that could be headed our way. You're not alone. If

650
00:36:24,857 --> 00:36:26,977
Speaker 1: you look at the skyrocketing cost of energy and food

651
00:36:26,977 --> 00:36:28,897
Speaker 1: prices going through the roof, we're certainly headed in the

652
00:36:28,897 --> 00:36:32,457
Speaker 1: wrong direction. Many are choosing to go off grid in response.

653
00:36:32,777 --> 00:36:34,457
Speaker 1: When you think of going off gride, you might think

654
00:36:34,497 --> 00:36:36,977
Speaker 1: of living in the mountains somewhere far far from civilization.

655
00:36:37,617 --> 00:36:40,457
Speaker 1: But there's actually a safe option for going totally off

656
00:36:40,497 --> 00:36:43,177
Speaker 1: grid in Panama, Central America, and a modern home starts

657
00:36:43,177 --> 00:36:45,977
Speaker 1: at only one hundred thousand dollars. These homes are fully

658
00:36:45,977 --> 00:36:47,817
Speaker 1: set up on a self sustaining farm with all of

659
00:36:47,817 --> 00:36:51,057
Speaker 1: your needs met right on property. Panama offers a stable government,

660
00:36:51,057 --> 00:36:53,977
Speaker 1: cost effective, high quality medical care, and a fantastic climate.

661
00:36:54,217 --> 00:36:56,417
Speaker 1: There are only twenty four homes being offered to the community,

662
00:36:56,457 --> 00:36:58,617
Speaker 1: so reach out to them quickly at off grid Panama

663
00:36:58,697 --> 00:37:01,417
Speaker 1: dot com or call them at nine zero four two

664
00:37:01,457 --> 00:37:05,097
Speaker 1: three six four seven three seven. Once again, that's off

665
00:37:05,137 --> 00:37:08,937
Speaker 1: grid Panama dot com. Or call nine zero four two

666
00:37:09,017 --> 00:37:12,417
Speaker 1: three six seven three seven. Quick Hits coming up next,

667
00:37:12,497 --> 00:37:22,977
Speaker 1: Stay with US President bidenen't test positive for COVID once again,

668
00:37:23,297 --> 00:37:27,057
Speaker 1: and doctor Fauci is wondering why you won't just adhere

669
00:37:27,177 --> 00:37:30,937
Speaker 1: to the public health measures. We have those stories on

670
00:37:31,057 --> 00:37:35,377
Speaker 1: tonight's Quick Hits. Let's get right into it, shall we. Okay,

671
00:37:35,577 --> 00:37:39,817
Speaker 1: So Biden has received two initial shots of the vaccine.

672
00:37:39,817 --> 00:37:41,457
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was fiser or more Jonah,

673
00:37:41,457 --> 00:37:44,657
Speaker 1: probably fiser, I would guess, but whatever, And so we

674
00:37:44,737 --> 00:37:46,737
Speaker 1: got two shots. Is one wasn't enough? Okay, fine, it's

675
00:37:46,737 --> 00:37:48,697
Speaker 1: a two dose vaccine, they said. Then he got a

676
00:37:48,697 --> 00:37:51,337
Speaker 1: booster because the vaccine wears off pretty quickly even after

677
00:37:51,337 --> 00:37:55,097
Speaker 1: the second dose. Then he got another booster, Then he

678
00:37:55,137 --> 00:37:57,937
Speaker 1: got covid, Then he got then he took pack slovid.

679
00:37:58,657 --> 00:38:00,977
Speaker 1: Then he got covid again, or at least tested positive

680
00:38:01,017 --> 00:38:04,257
Speaker 1: for COVID a second time from the same infection. Here

681
00:38:04,257 --> 00:38:07,937
Speaker 1: you go, Biden test positive for coronavirus again in what

682
00:38:08,137 --> 00:38:11,817
Speaker 1: is called a rebound k now worth noting for a

683
00:38:11,817 --> 00:38:15,177
Speaker 1: moment that doctor Anthony Faucci, the vile tyrant of the

684
00:38:15,217 --> 00:38:21,057
Speaker 1: COVID pandemic, also had a rebound pax loavid situation where

685
00:38:21,097 --> 00:38:24,937
Speaker 1: he tested positive for covid after initially testing positive than

686
00:38:25,017 --> 00:38:29,177
Speaker 1: negative while taking pax lob bit, a visor pill that

687
00:38:29,337 --> 00:38:34,017
Speaker 1: is an anti viral drug that has shown some good efficacy.

688
00:38:34,057 --> 00:38:36,377
Speaker 1: But there is this notion of the rebound case that

689
00:38:36,497 --> 00:38:39,137
Speaker 1: you get when you take pax loabit. So it's an

690
00:38:39,137 --> 00:38:42,137
Speaker 1: interesting situation, isn't it. But more interesting than that even

691
00:38:42,457 --> 00:38:45,017
Speaker 1: is why would anyone be fired from their job for

692
00:38:45,217 --> 00:38:48,977
Speaker 1: not getting this vaccine? Think of all the mandates that

693
00:38:49,017 --> 00:38:51,177
Speaker 1: were set up. Oh, you can't come into the restaurant,

694
00:38:51,657 --> 00:38:53,617
Speaker 1: you can't come into this place unless we see your

695
00:38:53,657 --> 00:38:58,777
Speaker 1: vaccine passport. That was appalling stupidity, It was madness all along.

696
00:38:58,817 --> 00:39:02,657
Speaker 1: The people that pushed that should be ashamed of themselves,

697
00:39:03,177 --> 00:39:06,497
Speaker 1: but they're not. They're not in fact, they're still going,

698
00:39:06,737 --> 00:39:10,537
Speaker 1: which is what's truly amazing. Faucci, who is the most

699
00:39:10,537 --> 00:39:13,857
Speaker 1: destructive public health bureaucrat and history, and really I think

700
00:39:13,937 --> 00:39:16,337
Speaker 1: arguably the worst person in America today in terms of

701
00:39:16,417 --> 00:39:19,337
Speaker 1: overall damage to his fellow human beings. It's really hard

702
00:39:19,377 --> 00:39:22,097
Speaker 1: to come up with somebody who is more destructive and

703
00:39:22,257 --> 00:39:26,057
Speaker 1: more dishonest and has this level of influence still in

704
00:39:26,097 --> 00:39:29,177
Speaker 1: public discourse that doctor Anthony Fauci does. Here he is,

705
00:39:29,217 --> 00:39:32,737
Speaker 1: for example, complaining that Americans are not adhering to what

706
00:39:32,857 --> 00:39:38,217
Speaker 1: he calls common sense health measures watch. Unfortunately, given the

707
00:39:38,257 --> 00:39:42,097
Speaker 1: fatigue that we make in this country from two and

708
00:39:42,097 --> 00:39:45,217
Speaker 1: a half years of this, everyone is tired of it.

709
00:39:45,617 --> 00:39:50,297
Speaker 1: So it's very difficult, super imposed upon an anti vax

710
00:39:50,457 --> 00:39:55,577
Speaker 1: type feeling among some, super imposed upon the political divisiveness

711
00:39:55,617 --> 00:39:58,417
Speaker 1: we have in this country, which you know, and the

712
00:39:58,897 --> 00:40:03,497
Speaker 1: social media misinformation and disinformation, is very difficult to get

713
00:40:03,537 --> 00:40:09,977
Speaker 1: people to adhere to common sense public health measures. I mean,

714
00:40:10,697 --> 00:40:13,457
Speaker 1: he still thinks that if only you would mask up more,

715
00:40:13,897 --> 00:40:18,057
Speaker 1: the virus would stop. It's tough to know if he's

716
00:40:18,177 --> 00:40:22,977
Speaker 1: just a lunatic or a liar or both, but there's

717
00:40:23,057 --> 00:40:27,577
Speaker 1: something clearly wrong with that. I mean, there's obviously a

718
00:40:27,617 --> 00:40:32,257
Speaker 1: problem with Fauci. There's a disconnect here that he cannot

719
00:40:32,257 --> 00:40:36,297
Speaker 1: observe what is so obvious all around us. Libs of

720
00:40:36,377 --> 00:40:39,457
Speaker 1: TikTok is a great social media account because it shows

721
00:40:39,497 --> 00:40:43,497
Speaker 1: you a lot of libs saying things, and it exposes

722
00:40:44,337 --> 00:40:48,337
Speaker 1: millions of people to what leftists actually believes. Some leftists

723
00:40:48,377 --> 00:40:51,217
Speaker 1: but is increasingly clear that this is they're not fringe beliefs.

724
00:40:51,257 --> 00:40:54,617
Speaker 1: There in fact growing beliefs on the left. And here

725
00:40:54,697 --> 00:40:57,937
Speaker 1: is a lib TikToker who says she doesn't want anyone

726
00:40:57,977 --> 00:41:01,457
Speaker 1: who voted for Trump ringing up her groceries, fixing her car,

727
00:41:01,617 --> 00:41:04,137
Speaker 1: or providing her any other services. Watch. Oh no, I

728
00:41:04,217 --> 00:41:07,457
Speaker 1: I'm being a bit extreme with this. But prior to

729
00:41:07,537 --> 00:41:10,817
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, I go in the supermarket and there's a

730
00:41:10,857 --> 00:41:14,457
Speaker 1: person next to me, the clerk who checked me. Now,

731
00:41:15,017 --> 00:41:17,977
Speaker 1: go to the doctor's office, talk to the receptionist the doctor,

732
00:41:17,977 --> 00:41:22,577
Speaker 1: go to the dentist, get my car fixed. I had

733
00:41:22,617 --> 00:41:30,057
Speaker 1: no issue. Now now twenty twenty two, I'm looking at

734
00:41:30,057 --> 00:41:32,857
Speaker 1: the receptionist that the doctors. I'm wondering if she's a

735
00:41:32,897 --> 00:41:37,697
Speaker 1: Trump supporter. I'm wondering if my mechanic voted for Trump.

736
00:41:39,297 --> 00:41:43,337
Speaker 1: I don't want you fixing my mother car. Right at

737
00:41:43,337 --> 00:41:47,177
Speaker 1: the supermarket, the cashier who's ringing me through? Did you

738
00:41:47,337 --> 00:41:52,177
Speaker 1: vote for Trump because I don't want you ringing my shop?

739
00:41:53,457 --> 00:41:56,217
Speaker 1: My dentist, don't be drilling me. Much of you voted

740
00:41:56,297 --> 00:42:02,217
Speaker 1: for Trump? Is anybody else like me? Unfortunately a lot

741
00:42:02,257 --> 00:42:04,697
Speaker 1: of psycho Libs are just like her. It's become part

742
00:42:04,697 --> 00:42:08,017
Speaker 1: of the culture now. They can't separate their politics from

743
00:42:08,057 --> 00:42:11,937
Speaker 1: anything in their lives. It's falling. The Democrat Party's done

744
00:42:11,937 --> 00:42:14,337
Speaker 1: to people. That's ever Tonight's hold the line. The No

745
00:42:14,457 --> 00:42:16,857
Speaker 1: Spinos with Bill Realley is next. Shield Tide
