1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You're in the freedom hunt. Thanks for listening to The

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast to get the latest from Buck

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: at buck Sexton dot com. Biden's national disaster at the

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: border keeps getting worse. We're seeing this play out now

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: across the country. We're seeing what this actually means in

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: the media, how this is all going. They don't want

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: you to know what's happening. They're trying to hide it

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: from you. We'll get into that, but now we should

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: all remember that this was exactly what we said would happen.

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: This was anticipated, that people were expecting this. This is not,

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: in any meaningful way a surprise effect. It's just maybe

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: the numbers are bigger than we anticipated. The way that

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: this is happening so quickly in the Biden administration has

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: gone even beyond what they expected. But I don't think

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: they have a problem with a de facto opening in

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: our border. They don't want to call it an open

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: border where there's a giant opening. Show up as a

18
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: family unit and you get to stay. It's all you

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: have to do. Show up as a family unit, you're

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: going to get to stay. So they can talk about

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: single adult males as much as they want. But what's

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: happening is a flood of unaccompanied miners and family units,

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: and they both get to stay those two categories of

24
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: those who cross illegally at the border. And they don't

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: want you to see this. They don't want you to

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: know what's really happening. And that's part of the censorship

27
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, which is a huge challenge right now,

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: given the journalists are in the Biden administration's pocket. But

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: censorship on social media sites is also a major challenge.

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: You know, the left wants to silence and remove any ideas,

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: any voices they don't agree with. Twitter and Facebook. We're

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be open platforms. I don't need their content

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: moderators acting like the op ed section of the New

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: York Times. So instead of letting social media sites revoke

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: your right to free speech, how about revoking their right

36
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: their access to your data. Now, you could just deactivate

37
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: all your social media accounts, but that gives the left

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: what they want in the first place. So instead of

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: doing that, I use express VPN all right. Express VPN

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: anonymizes a lot of what you do online by hiding

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: your IP address. That makes your activity a whole lot

42
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers, and Express

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: VPN couldn't be easier to set up. You just tap

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: one button on your phone or computer and you're protected.

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: Express VPN also encrypts one hundred percent of your data

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: to protect you and hackers and internet protect you from

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: hackers and Internet bad guys. It's time to finally say

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: no to censorship and take back your online privacy. You

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: need this. I've got it on my phone, on my devices.

50
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: It's a must. Go to Express vpn dot com slash buck.

Speaker 1: To protect your data today, tens of millions of dollars

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: of taxpayer money now going to hotels to house illegal

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: immigrants who have come across the border and now cannot

57
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: even be held in the overcrowded facilities at our southern border,

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: so you are paying for it. That's what's going on

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: right now. That's actually that the situation as it unfolds

60
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: before us right now. The Biden administration can say as

61
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: much as they want about this, but we know that

62
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: eighty six million dollars has been contracted for hotel rooms

63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: for twelve hundred migrant families because they just simply have

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: no space for them in these facilities. You got fourteen

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: million dollars a day now going to the cartels. That's

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: that's real money, even for the Mexican drug cartels. Fourteen

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: million dollars a day. And why is this happening. They're

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: trying to hide from the truth. They're trying to blame

69
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: this on other people. They're trying to tell you things

70
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: that you can see obviously are not true. So instead

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: of just listening to me, instead of basing it on

72
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: my analysis or assessment from up here in New York City,

73
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: and I know you're listening all across the country, we

74
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: could just go right to the source, couldn't we. Why

75
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: not ask some of the migrants who are coming across

76
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: the border why they're coming, what changed in their perception,

77
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,559
Speaker 1: why the numbers are exploding. You know, Democrats can't figure

78
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: if it's better to pretend the numbers aren't that bad,

79
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: or they are so bad but it's Trump's fault, or

80
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: they change the excuse every day. Here's ABC News as

81
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Martha rabbits asking an illegal immigrant across the border, why

82
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: did you do this? Play one. We were there when

83
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: a bus of fifty six asylum seekers arrived at Cassa Elitis,

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: a Catholic charity shelter in Tucson, Men, pregnant women and

85
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: children stepping off the bus with only what they could carry.

86
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,559
Speaker 1: This father, who asked did we not show his face,

87
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: traveled to Mexico from Brazil with his wife and three

88
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: young kids before crossing the border. What do you have

89
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: tried to do this when Donald Trump was president? Definitely?

90
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Definitely we had a chance. You know, the same violence

91
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: there's going on today was there or less here? We

92
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: used to watch the news and I definitely won't won't

93
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: do this. So did you come here because Joe Biden

94
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: was elected president? Basically? Basically the main thing was the

95
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: violence in my country. And the second thing I think

96
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: was Joe Biden. There's violence in this country and there's

97
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. So why do you want to leave violence?

98
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: Why are you coming? Joe Biden? Would you have come

99
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: under Trump? Definitely not. Don't think I would have made it,

100
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been able to come in. Now I know

101
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 1: you can say this is only one voice. But okay,

102
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: we've got people showing up at the border wearing Biden

103
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: let us in T shirts. We have individuals who are

104
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: interviewing with the press, who are giving interviews to the press,

105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: and they're saying that it is because of Biden, And yeah,

106
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: do you what do you think the primary the primary

107
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: tool of distraction or putting the blame on somebody else? Right? Well,

108
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: who do you think they go to right away? Oh,

109
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: that's right, it's the Trump administration. Play seventeen. We will

110
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: not abandon our values and our principles. We will not

111
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: abandon the needs of vulnerable children. That is what this

112
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: is all about. We are executing on our plan. It

113
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: does take time. It is difficult. Our plan includes the

114
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: deployment of the Federal Emergency Management Administration FEMA to assist

115
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: HHS in building its capacity more rapidly to shelter the children.

116
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: But it is taking time and it is difficult because

117
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: the entire system was dismantled by the prior administration. There

118
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: was a system in place in both Republican and Democratic

119
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: administrations that was torn down during the Trump administration. And

120
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: that is why the challenge is more acute than it

121
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: ever has been before. He's saying more here than he

122
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: intends to. Notice. We had a crisis onner the Trump

123
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: administration because of the system, as he puts it, it

124
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: was being exploited. So the Trump administration fixes it, and

125
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: now you have DHS Secretary majorcas here bemoaning the fact

126
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: that it was fixed. Essentially, he says, oh, they tore

127
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: down the system. We have to start from scratch, right,

128
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: because the Democrats system is take as many unaccompanied miners

129
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: at the border, and you know, they keep saying what

130
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: about four year olds? A huge majority of the people

131
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: showing up the border are fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, So they

132
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: got to stop saying what about three year olds? Okay,

133
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: we're not heartless, No one's no one saying that three

134
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: year old should be left to freeze or to starve.

135
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: But they have taken what's going on here and misrepresented

136
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: it to the American people from the very beginning. If

137
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: you show up as an unccompanied miner or a family unit,

138
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: you're overwhelmingly likely, I mean it's you know, eighty ninety

139
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: percent likely you're going to be released in the American interior.

140
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna be able to stay unless they figure out

141
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: that you're actually recycling that's the term they use children

142
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: posing as parents, part of a cartel or something like that,

143
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: or have a violent criminal history, they're going to let

144
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: you in the United States. So what they're doing now

145
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: is they're saying, well, it's not an open border because

146
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: adult migrant males are If they show up solo, they'll

147
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: be turned away. Right, what is the surge comprised of

148
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: family units and unaccompanied miners. Why is that happening? Because

149
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: they're responding directly to the incentives of the system, and

150
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats do not want to change those incentives. They

151
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: fundamentally do not believe that it's a problem that people

152
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: are skipping the immigration line and coming into the country

153
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: by abusing the asylum process. They could apply for refugee

154
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: st us in their home countries, they are choosing not

155
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: to do so. Why is that Because they don't want

156
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: to wait, they don't want to have their claims adjudicated,

157
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: because a vast majority of the claims of asylum are

158
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: not accepted. So the whole point, we can all see

159
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: what's going on. The whole point is just find a

160
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: way to get into America and then just disappear in

161
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: the American interior, wait for amnesty. That's the whole game,

162
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: all right. For the overwhelming majority of people who are

163
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: crossing illegally in the United States, it is illegal to cross,

164
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: not at a port of entry. They can keep pretending

165
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: like there's no illegality here. They're wrong, And the overwhelming

166
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: majority of those people do not get final asylum because

167
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: they are not really asylum seekers. They want to come

168
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: to America, which I understand, But we have an immigration

169
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: system for a reason. If Democrats want to allow this

170
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: to continue, they should be honest with the American people

171
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: and say, we believe if you show up as a

172
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: family member, you have a story about why you should

173
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: stay in the US because of violence or whatever, you

174
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: get to stay. Forget it. But do you think that

175
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,479
Speaker 1: anyone's going to go through the migration or the immigration

176
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: system in the rest of the world legally now to

177
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: come into America. You'd be a fool waiting years and years,

178
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: go to Mexico, pay off the cartel, show up at

179
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: the border, come into America with your family. It's that simple.

180
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: So Democrats can't say that even though that's the reality.

181
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: So what do they say, Well, they pretend that they're

182
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: telling migrants not to come. Play sixteen again. These are

183
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Democrats saying that the change in Biden administration policy is

184
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: fueling the crisis. How do you respond, I, respectfully, I

185
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: disagree with them. Let me just say that we have

186
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: a number of work streams in place. As I mentioned,

187
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: we are dealing with the needs of the children now.

188
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: We are rebuilding orderly ways in which the children can

189
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: make their claims without having to take the perilous journey

190
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: to the border, right, and we are elevating our messaging

191
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: so that the individuals do know that they cannot come

192
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: to the border the border is closed. What they argue

193
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: is that the messaging isn't working and that despite that,

194
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: children and maybe even families are coming because they think

195
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: that if they get here the border will be open

196
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: for them. That's causing the surge. Dana Danna, We are

197
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: expelling families, we are expelling single adults. We have communicated

198
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: and we will continue to communicate to the children. Do

199
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: not come expelling families at what percentage? Because I think

200
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: if you found out the number, you'd say, Okay, So

201
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: this guy's just a huge liar, right, this guy's misrepresenting

202
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: what's going on the border? Really, they expelling families? Why

203
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: are they all showing up? Why do they keep showing up? Right?

204
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: The immigration market here, so to speak, right there, the

205
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: free market of illegal immigration is speaking in the numbers

206
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: up one hundred and eighty percent year over year for

207
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the last month. Enormous spike in unaccompanied miners. I mean,

208
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: the fifteen thousand unacompanied miners that are currently in custody.

209
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: They're all going to be led into the United States.

210
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: They're all being placed in the US. Okay, we know that,

211
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: and none of them are going to be deported. So

212
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: that's not true. How many how many of the families?

213
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: What percentage your families? Someone should ask, Ah, But they're

214
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: hiding the data. They're playing games. These people are liars, folks.

215
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: This Democrat bid administration, which is really just Obama's administration

216
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: three point zero. They are lying about this to you.

217
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: They cannot deal with the truth. And let me ask

218
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: this question which they will never give real answer to.

219
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: Why are they telling Why are they turning migrants away? Right?

220
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: They want to tell you they're doing that, But why

221
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: are they doing that? Do they believe that these migrants

222
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: aren't people? That need help and aren't desperate and shouldn't

223
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: be so. So some people shouldn't be led into the

224
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: United States, even if they're perfectly law abiding, decent folks

225
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: who just want a better life, and you know, all

226
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: the things we always hear. Why why is that the case?

227
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: You know, if Democrats can't have it both ways, it

228
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: can't be anybody can basically gain the system and come

229
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: into the country. But oh, also, we don't want people.

230
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: We're sending people away who try to do that. Well,

231
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: which one is it? Do you want to tell people?

232
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Will Democrats tell people you cannot stay if they show

233
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: up as a family unit right now at the border?

234
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: And if so, why they don't. They don't seem to

235
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: agree with that notion, right, They just keep changing the rules.

236
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: They shift the ground of the debate every few minutes

237
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: so that way they can never really be pinned down

238
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: and have to defend any one position. They know that

239
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: this is showing how inept and just what a joke

240
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: this Biden administration is. We're already at there. I told

241
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: you so, part of the Biden presidency. That's where we are.

242
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: We're seeing what is happening in real time before us

243
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: after all the talk about how Biden was going to

244
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: be a great uniter and bring us all together. I mean,

245
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: no one really actually believes that anymore, or they shouldn't. Adana,

246
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: we are in the midst of a pandemic. We are

247
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: dealing with crowded border patrol facilities. We are focused on

248
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: our operations and the needs of the children, and at

249
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: the same time, we are working to provide access to

250
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: those border patrol facilities when we can do so in

251
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: a safe manner. Good working on that because we cover

252
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: the we cover the White House under a pandemic, and

253
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: we've feared out how to do it largely safely. Yeah. Sure,

254
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: Look they are saying this is about safety in the

255
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: facilities and making the facilities, making the process better. What's

256
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: really going on here is that you're seeing the plans

257
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: of the Left in real time. You're seeing how this

258
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: actually works in real life. When you convince folks that

259
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to stay in America even

260
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: if they cross illegally, even if they're not legitimate asylum seekers. Remember,

261
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: asylum is a very specific thing. It is for people

262
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: who we give safe harbor too, because they can't safely

263
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: live in their own country. That's not the same thing

264
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: as I would rather live in America than Honduras, or

265
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: I would rather live in America than Brazil or Pakistan

266
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: or Thailand or wherever. It's not the same thing. And

267
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: yet these very fundamental issues are what the Democrats dance around.

268
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Newt Gingrich say it very well,

269
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: which is that the Left is living they're living in

270
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: a delusion. The problem is they're in charge, they're in

271
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: the position of power right now, and they're trying to

272
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: make all the rest of us live in this delusion too.

273
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: We can see what's going on. What they're saying is

274
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: not true. What they're presenting to you is a lie.

275
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: We're all very aware of this. We know that in

276
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: their hearts they like to believe that there's some way

277
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: to let everybody who wants to come into a Erica

278
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: from a developing country, in particular, let anybody wants to

279
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: come in come in while still have rule of law

280
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: and an immigration system that functions. They think that those

281
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: two things can coexist. They're wrong. This is a delusion.

282
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: Newt Season Place Play thirteen. Well, okay, I think that

283
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: the entire left is living in a fantasy world. When

284
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: you have thousands and thousands of people, three thousand teenagers

285
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: in the convention Center in Dallas who have come in illegally,

286
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: when you have night after night of violence in Portland,

287
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: when you have rising crime rates almost everywhere in the country,

288
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: and you have gasoline prices starting back up at some point,

289
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: normal everyday Americans are going to realize the gap between

290
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: the fantasy world of Biden and Harris and the real

291
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: world of everyday Americans. And I think that that's going

292
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: to be extraordinarily expensive for the Democrats in two twenty two,

293
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: because you basically have a fight between the American people

294
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: and a democratic machine. And on almost every major issue now,

295
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: the American people are on one side and the machine

296
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: is on the other. And what exactly do we have

297
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: to show for this Biden administration so far that anybody

298
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: could point to and say, you know what they're doing

299
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: a really good job on and then just fill in

300
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: the blank. Where are we seeing really excellent work from

301
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: the Biden administration? I remember all those laughable lies from

302
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election cycle about the competent and moderate

303
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: elder statesman from Delaware, Joe Biden. You know you could

304
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: trust it old Joe from Scranton. He's not some radical

305
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: commie who smashes in the windows at Starbucks and comes

306
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: up with new prodowns every five minutes. I mean, this

307
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: guy's got more political longevity than a giant tortoise. In fact,

308
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: this is true. Biden's been around so long. When he

309
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: first went to the United States Senate, we were figuring

310
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: out how to end the war in Vietnam. That's the truth.

311
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, how much damage could he really do as president?

312
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: I mean, just look at our southern border and you

313
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: get the answer to that. We are two months in

314
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: the Biden presidency. So far it's an utter debacle. There

315
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: are more illegal immigrant kids in cages quote that's what

316
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: they called it under Trump than ever before, over fifteen thousand.

317
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: Right now, illegal crossings have skyrocketed to well over one

318
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: hundred thousand a month, no end in sight. Cartels are

319
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: getting richer, and our immigration laws look like a big joke,

320
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: all because a good old Joe. Migrants are showing up

321
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: with Biden t shirts on. They've told journalists in interviews

322
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: that they're coming because Biden will let them in, and

323
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: the response from Team Biden is nonsense. We see it

324
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: all all right. They swerve around the word crisis in

325
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: these press conferences like a drunk hippo on ice skates,

326
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: scary for everybody, and no one's buying it. And when

327
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't work, they'll try to blame everything on Trump.

328
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: It's a pathetic display. I mean, the DNC is not

329
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: sending us their best. None of this is surprising, not

330
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: the divisive left wing executive orders from day one, the

331
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: escalator authoritarian madness around masks, the stalled lockdown recovery, the

332
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: rising gas prices, or the growing sense that the stock

333
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: market's going to crash any day now. Biden is, as

334
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: so many on the rights set all along, a Democrat

335
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: figurehead with no talent other than showing up and saying

336
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: whatever works. What we've got is the third term of

337
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. But with mister McGoo playing the role

338
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: of president. It's tough to know what's more frightening to

339
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: declining hide and Biden press conferences or staircases. The border

340
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: crisis is just the most visible manifestation of this obvious reality.

341
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was never up for this job, and we

342
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: can all see it. He has neither a vision for

343
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: the nation's future nor the leadership skills to take us there.

344
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: He just spews the talking points and does what the

345
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: handlers and advisers tell him to. He's supposed to be

346
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: a great uniter, the healing leader for whom our nation

347
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: was crying out at this point. Feels like a victory

348
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: for the country whenever he doesn't wander on stage and

349
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: mumble some nonsense about the science. By the time the

350
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: Democrats can't hold up this facade anymore, the media will

351
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: be talking about how President Harris really needs to step

352
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: in and take the reins, and that's not too far off,

353
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: and you know what they'll do. Then they'll scoff at

354
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 1: anyone who points out this is exactly what we were

355
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: expecting all along, just as they do now as they

356
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: mouth the preferred slogans of Biden's Marxist puppeteers. Exactly as

357
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: I said he would. Many of us saw in advance,

358
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: when you've been vaccinated, or when you've gotten the disease naturally,

359
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: that you are spreading it. If there were, it would

360
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: be all over the news. There are no news reports

361
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: and no scientific studies saying that after vaccination that there's

362
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 1: some sort of widespread contagion people vaccinated are spreading the disease.

363
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: It's just not true. What Fauci won't tell you is

364
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: that he's telling you a noble lie. He's lying to

365
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: you because he doesn't think we're smart enough to make decisions.

366
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: His fear is if the vaccinated quit wearing the mask,

367
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: the unvaccinated will say, what the hell, I'm not wearing

368
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: a mask either, So he lies to you to say, oh,

369
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: the mask makes a difference, when in reality he knows better.

370
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: He's wearing two masks for theater. It's complete theater. He's immune,

371
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: he knows he's not going to get it, but he

372
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: is not being honest with the American public. I ran Paul,

373
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: this guy's amazing. I mean, he's you know, sometimes there's

374
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: only a few people who will come out and just

375
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: say it, and ran Paul on this one. Right now.

376
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: I just feel like I'm thankful. I'm thankful. I wish

377
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: I could give the guy a high five that he's

378
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 1: calling out what's so obvious. Yeah, Fauci is that little tyrant,

379
00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: that feckless bureaucrat is double masking because he, I mean,

380
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: I think very clearly wants to show people how seriously

381
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: he takes the virus even though he's immune, so there's

382
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: really no reason for him to do this. But then again,

383
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: there's no reason for people, including the journos all across

384
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, including Biden himself, to take photos of

385
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: themselves with a mask on and put that on their

386
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: social media profile, to put that on their Twitter or

387
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: their Facebook, except that this has become about tribal, political

388
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: and ideological allegiance for a lot of people, not for everybody.

389
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: Some people really believe in the magic of wearing masks

390
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: to defend you from this, you know, in a meaningful way.

391
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: How many times have I told you that it's probably

392
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: helps a tiny bit, but it's way overblown, and then

393
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: you used to observe it. See what's going on masks.

394
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: You walk down the street in New York City, outside,

395
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: you'll see ninety people wearing masks, just walk around. You

396
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: see it. That's outdoors. You can't go into any place

397
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: without a mask on right now. Indoors, you can't do it.

398
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: They won't let you in anywhere. Has that stopped the virus?

399
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: Did it stop for the spread of the virus in

400
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: the wintertime in New York City? Now? Did not at all?

401
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: In fact, now they're saying there's a pretty high positivity

402
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: right here in New York. So this is not a

403
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: situation that we should allow to continue on without some

404
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: real pushback, without really figuring out what the heck is

405
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: going on here. Double masking when you are immune is theater, right.

406
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: You can say it's good theater, you can say you

407
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: like it, you can say you're happy about the situation

408
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, but it is theatrical. And this statement

409
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: that he makes about how they they don't want people

410
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: who are vaccinated to stop masking is because the moment

411
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: that somebody could walk in. I mean, i'll tell you

412
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: this right now, and this is just the truth. If

413
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: I could go into my gym, for example, and say,

414
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, blank off, when some mask shamer comes over,

415
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: blank off, I'm vaccinated, is there a decent chance that

416
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: I probably would say that I'll just leave that out there.

417
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people would say, Okay, I'm

418
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: done with the stupid tyranny of these morons, And that

419
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: would mean the whole, the whole masking regime falls apart.

420
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: It has to be mandatory for everyone. And notice that

421
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: the only way they've been able to justify this is

422
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: somehow the science as we've gone along has almost magically

423
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 1: been manipulated. It's just been perfect. At first it was

424
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: they're really good for protection. Then it was it's really

425
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: good at protecting you both ways, so from transmitting and

426
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: from receiving the virus in the air. And then it was, well, actually,

427
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: maybe it's really just about you not transmitting it to

428
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: somebody else, and then that created this whole Well, it's

429
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: not about what you want, it's about the risk you're

430
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: posing to other people, and that I just want to say, well,

431
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean, other people could also avoid congregate settings, couldn't they.

432
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to. You don't want to

433
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: be in a gym where people are unmasked. Don't go

434
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: to the gym. What's so bad about that? No, Instead,

435
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: everybody has to suffer because of the anxiety of a

436
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: few people. Everybody has to sufferer because of the belief

437
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: that doctor Fauci's not lying to you about the science.

438
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: When it comes to when I say lying to you

439
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: about the science, these are all judgment calls. They're making

440
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: judgment calls, and right now, for public policy reasons, they're

441
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: telling people you have to ask even after you're vaccinated,

442
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: and you're starting to see it pop up more and

443
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: more forever, masking is gaining traction. You know, if this

444
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: works so well, if this protects people so effectively, including

445
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: from the flu, including from other coronaviruses that are out there,

446
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: including from you know, why wait to see what the

447
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: next pandemic is like We could stop it in its tracks,

448
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: they say, which, of course is idiocy because you look

449
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 1: at what's happened in the last year. But we could

450
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: stop the next pandemic if only we mask up enough.

451
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: This has turned into a religious belief. That's what this is.

452
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: You know. It's the same thing as as Bill when

453
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: Bill Gates, as he did recently, says that to fight

454
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: climate change, he's going to eat less meat personally, that's

455
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: a religious belief, all right, That's that's a question of

456
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: individual virtue from action that no rational, no rational viewpoint

457
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: could ever say is going to make a change in anything. Right,

458
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: that's a religious belief. And when you look at what

459
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: the reality of our version of lockdowns, which remember we

460
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: never really locked down. I have to point this out

461
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: to people all the time. They act like, you know,

462
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: these work from home people who's sitting on their couches

463
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: in you know, in Los Angeles, on the west side

464
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles, you know, closer to the water, and

465
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and in Washington, DC. They've been worked from

466
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: home this whole time time and they act like they're

467
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: big heroes. The essential workers are still getting on subways,

468
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: getting into crowded places, going into buildings, and still getting sick.

469
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: They haven't. There's not actually a real lockdown. This is

470
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: what people don't understand. There's a partial lockdown. So we

471
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: get the downside of this, of all of this with

472
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: the herd economy and people separated from each other, But

473
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: the virus continues to spread because the number one place

474
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: it spreads is in the home. And so as long

475
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: as you have some people who are out there subjecting

476
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: themselves to getting it, it continues to it continues to

477
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: move through the population. You know, well, why are we

478
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: not doing psurology testing anymore for antibodies than population? By

479
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: the way, you notice that just why did that disappear?

480
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: We did it in June. It's not crazy. There used

481
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: to be a real interest in this. How many people

482
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: have actually been infected? Well, maybe because folks would realize

483
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: this whole health policy stuff from Fauci and all the

484
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 1: rest of them and worked so well that I mean,

485
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: they say, what, thirty million Americans have gotten coronavirus? What

486
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: if it was double or triple that they don't know.

487
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: They tell us that forty percent of transmission occurs in

488
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: asymptomatic people. So you got to assume there's a huge

489
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: number of asymptomatic people who had it never knew, and

490
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: they've been tested and they don't know, or they weren't

491
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: tested rather and they never found out. So the truth

492
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: is they can't allow their their little tyrannical grip off

493
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: your throat, off your face for one second, because then

494
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: the whole thing falls apart. If there were a state

495
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: that made outdoor mask wearing on safety grounds, because there

496
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: are places that say you can't actually mask unless it's

497
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: a part of your job, you know, construction work or something.

498
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: You can't actually mask up in public. People should be

499
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: able to see your face, know who you are. It's

500
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: a safety issue. If there were a state that said

501
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: that they would ban outdoor mask wearing on safety issues,

502
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: and they would ban indoor mask wearing on health issues,

503
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: it's not good for you to be breathing in you know,

504
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: your own whatever, you're expelling all the time, and this

505
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: is not This is not good for a lot of folks,

506
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: not good for your anxiety levels, it's not good for

507
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: your mental health, it's not good for your understanding of

508
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: your relationship with the state, with the government. If if

509
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: there were a state, I don't care which one it

510
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: is that decided they do that, I would seriously consider

511
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: moving just based on that. I think it's that important

512
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: now to run the experiment to show that all this

513
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: stuff they're just wrong. And they won't they won't back off,

514
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: they won't admit that what they've been telling this to

515
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: do does not work. Didn't work in America, didn't work

516
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: in Europe, doesn't work. You know, if we were a

517
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: tiny island that could cut off all travel and that

518
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: force people into their homes for months on end, maybe

519
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: it would work. We didn't do anything even close to that.

520
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: So why pretend. Well, there are a lot of people

521
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: out there that are pretending for a bunch of different reasons.

522
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: One of them is Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. We gotta

523
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: get into that in a second. We follow the CDC

524
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: guidelines any nursing home that did take a resident back.

525
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: We worked with them to make sure that they had

526
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: all the safety protocols. That was their choice. No one

527
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: was mandated, and we have shared all of the information

528
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: that has been mandated by the federal government, which is

529
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: a lot publicly. So I heard nursing home story, like everyone's,

530
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: is sad because this is where the spirius thrives and

531
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: has taken so many lives. And yet the Michigan experience

532
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: has I think been stronger than that of many other states.

533
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: And so this is this is sadly politics pervading our

534
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: public health. Still, We're not going to get distracted. I'm

535
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: going to stay focused on getting my state through this

536
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: tough time and keep moving forward. As Governor, Gretchen Whitmer

537
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: of Michigan was the queen of the lockdowns. She was

538
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: the governor who, right behind Cuomo and Newsom, was among

539
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: the biggest advocates for lockdown, among the most the most

540
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: ardent people for masking and all these different mitigation measures.

541
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: As foul, she says, well, it turns out that she

542
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: might have her own nursing home disasters. You know, Cuomo

543
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: made the inexplicably stupid and lethal decision to send people

544
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: back into nursing homes when they when they had COVID,

545
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: which was if you were trying to find a way

546
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: to bring up the death toll, that would have been

547
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: a very good plan. If you were trying to find

548
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: a mechanism to make make people more likely to get

549
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: severely ill or die. As a governor, that was a

550
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: good place to start. Whitmer issued an order on April fifteenth,

551
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, that was very similar, very similar to the

552
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: Cuomo order. And it has also come up that the

553
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: uh here this from the USA Today has come to

554
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: light the New York authorities number falling pressure from the

555
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: Governor's office delivery uner account of the number of patients,

556
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: and the patient numbers are more than forty percent higher

557
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: while deaths were seventy five percent higher. So what was

558
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: the reality of the Whitmer decision here in Michigan? Again,

559
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: this piece in USA Today, did Michigan cover up nursing

560
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: home COVID deaths like New York? Raises some interesting questions.

561
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 1: Here's what they write, quote the public had a right

562
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: to these grim facts, Yet it took a five month

563
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: long lawsuit by New York's Empire Center for Public Policy

564
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: to discover some of the most important information. Governor Cuomo

565
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: simply wasn't transparent, and neither is this state of Michigan.

566
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: Michigan is one of only two states where the governor

567
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: is exempt from freedom of information laws, and the only

568
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: state where that exemption is written into statute. Thanks to

569
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: this exemption, the governor has no obligation to produce any

570
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: records whatsoever, despite making decisions affecting the lives of every Michigander.

571
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: Michigan's one of only two states where the governor exempt

572
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: from freedom information laws. Governor Whitmer has used this veil

573
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: of secrecy to act with impunity. Her office has almost

574
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: single handedly dictated the state's COVID nineteen policies without disclosing

575
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: the data she has used to make her decisions. After

576
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: the Michigan Supreme Court struck down the statute, Governor Whitmer

577
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: relied on for her emergency authority. The Michigan Department of

578
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: Health and Human Services became the vessel for COVID decision making.

579
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: While yet, while that department is subject to FOYA, it

580
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: has not been any more transparent. The state continues to

581
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: release information about the number of cases and debts, but

582
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: not the underlying records. This is unacceptable. The state is

583
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: asking voters to simply accept its published data without the

584
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: chance to verify the records used to create them. The

585
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: Quomo scandaled Democrats how dangerous it is to trust politicians.

586
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: Access to information is essential. That's why we're suing the

587
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. And after the

588
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: state began adding additional death to its tally, one of

589
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: us requested the underlying data of these added deaths, and

590
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: we're trying. They're trying to get into all this. It

591
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't take a lawsuit to figure this out, but that's

592
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: where they are. And Gretchen Whitmer's going to fight this.

593
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: You know why. You're going to find out that that

594
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: while the governors were worried about their makeup, whether it

595
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: was Whitmer or Cuomo or Newsom, while they were on

596
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: TV trying to build their profile. Ever, Whitmer was talked about, Oh,

597
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: maybe she'd be a good Democrat vice president, right, maybe

598
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: maybe she somebody who should be in the mix here

599
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: That was being discussed a year ago. They were also

600
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: concerned with how it was making them look, how concerned

601
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: were they with the actual governance of what was going on?

602
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: How much were they focused on their job instead of

603
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: their optics? Right, Well, we can only know that if

604
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: we get the actual data, and it's become increasingly clear

605
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: that Governor Whittmer doesn't us to have that data. Why

606
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: is that, Well, here's a guess more people died in

607
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: nursing homes from COVID. And it's especially after she gave

608
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: a very similar order to Cuomo, right, because I'm sure

609
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: she saw that, heard about that, or had a similar

610
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: reaction of you know, we've just got to because there

611
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: was this panic about, oh, we've got to clear out

612
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: the hospital capacity. Oh, the hospital capacity. We're going to

613
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: overwhelm the hospitals. It never actually happened. There was no

614
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: hospital system that collapsed in this country because we couldn't

615
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: get anybody care. But Whitmer knows that her political future

616
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: hangs in the balance here. And just as we've seen

617
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: with so many other who are the people that were

618
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: heroes during the pandemic and now look like villains. You'll

619
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: notice one thing in common about all of them. They're Democrats.

620
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: Cuomo Newsome, Whitmer, who was a Republican in twenty twenty

621
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 1: was considered some kind of a COVID nineteen leader hero whatever,

622
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: and now we see was actually awful. I can't think

623
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: of a single one. Does anybody really believe that that's

624
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: a surprise, or that's an accident, that's a coincidence. Nope.

625
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: I think we all understand what's going on here. I

626
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: think we're all quite aware of the fact that the

627
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: Democrat Party, while pretending to be the party of science

628
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: and pretending to be the people that care so much

629
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: about the data and the facts, we're covering up a

630
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: lot of stuff because ultimately they didn't know what they

631
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: were doing. They made bad decisions in major states that

632
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: affected thousands and thousands of lives, may have cost in

633
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: the aggregate thousands of lives. And now the most important

634
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: thing to them is that they don't want to be

635
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: held accountable. Now, the most important thing is that they

636
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: would rather think about their reelection effort and maybe a

637
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: cable news contributorship or something like that, instead of actually

638
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: faced the music for what they did. I mean, Whitmer

639
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: was the one who decided you couldn't go from one

640
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: house to another that you owned during the pandemic. You

641
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: remember that you were not allowed to travel if you

642
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: owned a lake house, let's say, and you were in

643
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: the city, not allowed to go to your lake house,

644
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: as if that was ever really enforceable. But that was

645
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: the tyrannical mindset that she exemplified, and the media held

646
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: her up as some kind of a hero for this.

647
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: The media pretended that because of all this, she was

648
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: a really good person, somebody that we should all listen to.

649
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: She really knew what she was doing, she really knew

650
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: what was going on. Yeah, let's see what those nursing

651
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: home numbers look like. Let's let's see Governor Whitmer of

652
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: Michigan open up the books a little bit. Well from

653
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 1: where I said, I want to see a deeper investigation

654
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: into whether or not these shootings and other similar crimes

655
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: are racially motivated. It looks racially motivated to me. But

656
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a police officer. IM not investigating

657
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: the crimes. What I have done, though, is I have

658
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: actually said a letter to Director Ray, to Attorney General

659
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: Garland asking for a deeper investigation into crimes that involve

660
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: Asian Americans to see how many crimes have actually been

661
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: underreported as hate crimes. We know that crimes against Asian

662
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: Americans that have been categorized as hate crimes have increased

663
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 1: by over one hundred and fifty percent in our nation's

664
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: major cities. That's over thirty eight hundred additional crimes last year.

665
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: But we also know that many of these crimes go

666
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: underreported as hate crimes, and I just classified as a

667
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: mugging or harassment or vandalism when they really they were

668
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: targeted at Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in particular. So

669
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: they're they're all this anti Asian hate crime crusade right

670
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: now in the medium, and you're going to see a

671
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 1: lot of numbers in statistics. Use one thing that I

672
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: will tell you is that the way that they will

673
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: present statistics, you know, you've got to look at the

674
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: You got to look at the overall numbers too. If

675
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: you see that there were there was a two hundred

676
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: percent increase in hate crimes, let's say, in a city

677
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 1: in America against Asian Americans, against anybody, But if you

678
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: saw two hundred percent increase in hate crimes, you'd say,

679
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we've got a we've got a real

680
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: problem that must be addressed immediately. You would still think

681
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: you had a problem, but you might feel differently about

682
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: the scope of it. If you found out that the

683
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, the two hundred percent increase was from oh,

684
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: I don't know ten to you know, ten to thirty, right,

685
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: Or if you found out that the two hundred percent

686
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: increase was from uh, you know, four to twelve, right,

687
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: or whatever, whatever the case. Or you know, if there

688
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: was one hundred percent increase, I'll make it easy, you'll

689
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: make it. We'll just make it a simple double. If

690
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: it went from four to eight, you'd say, Wow, that's

691
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: that's a lot. That's a that's a big that's a

692
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: big change. Right, that's a big change. Except that's not

693
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: a lot of overall cases. So be aware of the

694
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: way that that statistics are used. They do this with

695
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: the when they want to create a a media hysteria

696
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: around a general sweeping surge of hate crimes or something

697
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: like that, that's one of the things they'll do. They'll

698
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: use the statistic that sounds like it is indicative of

699
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: a wave of a massive pattern shift, when really it

700
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: could just be anomalous to a certain period of time.

701
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: You have to look at it. Another thing is what

702
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: you'd have to say when the narrative. What's this piece

703
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: here from Andrew Sullivan when the narrative replaces the news.

704
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: Andrew Sullivan is a he's heterodoxy, can be a liberal

705
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: in many ways, but he also occasionally will call out

706
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: the absurdities of liberalism. Guy started a blog a long

707
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: time ago. He's created a very successful audience for himself,

708
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: and what he writes here, this is one of the

709
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: best pieces. This is the best piece I've read on

710
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: the Atlanta shooting massacre. And it's because it goes to

711
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 1: the nature of our news media right now is such

712
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 1: that it is all it is all commentary over reporting.

713
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: Reporting is just the thing you do briefly so you

714
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: can start all commenting on it right away. And I'm

715
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: talking about the most reputed news organizations. I'm talking about

716
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: you name it. There are a lot of them out there,

717
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: New York Times, Washington Post. This is what they do.

718
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: And here's how we go into this piece from Andrew Sullivan. Quote.

719
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: The massacres at three massage parlors in Atlanta last week,

720
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: leaving eight human beings dead, others injured, and their families scarred,

721
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: were horrifying. Read this deeply moving story about the son

722
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: of one of the women killed. To remind yourself of this.

723
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,399
Speaker 1: It's brutal. The grief will spread and resonate some more.

724
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: But this story also has been deeply instructive about our

725
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: national discourse and the state of the American mainstream and

726
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: elite media. This story's coverages proof if it seems to

727
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: me that American journalists have officially abandoned the habit of

728
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: attempting any kind of objectivity in reporting these stories. We

729
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: are now in the enlightened and social justice world of

730
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: moral clarity and narrative shaping. Here's the truth. We do

731
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: not yet know why this man did these horrible things.

732
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 1: It's probably complicated, or, as my therapist used to say, multidetermined.

733
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: That's why we have thorough investigation and trials in America.

734
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 1: We only have one solid piece of information as to motive,

735
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: which is the confession by the mass killer to law

736
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: enforcement that he was a religious fundamentalist who was determined

737
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: to live up to chastity and repeatedly failed, as is

738
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: often the case like the nine to eleven bombers and

739
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: the mass murderer at the Pulse nightclub. He took out

740
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: his angst on the source of what he saw as

741
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: his temptation and committed mass murder. This is evil in

742
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: the classic fundamentalist sense, a perversion of religion and sexual

743
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: repression into violence. We should not take the killer confession

744
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: as definitive. But we have yet to find I'm skipping

745
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: down here a little bit, any credible evidence of anti

746
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: Asian hatred or bigotry in this man's history. Maybe we will.

747
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: We can't rule it out, but we do know his

748
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: roommates say they once asked him if he picked the

749
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: spons for sex because the women were Asian. He denied it.

750
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: He said they were just the safest way to have

751
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: quick sex. And yet you know what's coming a company.

752
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: One original piece on the known facts. The New York

753
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: Times ran nine, that's right, nine separate stories about the

754
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: incident as part of the narrative that this was an

755
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: anti Asian hate crime fueled by white supremacy and or misogyny.

756
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: Not to be outdone, the Washington Post ran sixteen separate

757
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: stories on the incident as an anti Asian white supremacist

758
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: hate crime, sixteen one story for the facts, sixteen on

759
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: how critical race theory would interpret the event regardless of

760
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: the facts. End quote, And that's about That's about what

761
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: you would expect. Now, I think that's really where we are.

762
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: You're at about a sixteen to one ratio. You're at

763
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: about a sixteen to one ratio of time spent reporting

764
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: on an incident like this. We're porting on what actually

765
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: happened versus the time that would be spent, say, talking

766
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: about how this is Donald Trump's fault. And that happened

767
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: a lot too. It was remarkable you had, on the

768
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: one hand, a mass shooting with a shooter in custody.

769
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: He's already admitted it. We know this is the guy.

770
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: You know, he told everybody what his motive is. And

771
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: in no way do we know that he liked Donald Trump,

772
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: listened to Donald Trump, had anything to do with Donald Trump.

773
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 1: We don't even know if he was politically interested or

774
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: motivated at all. There are there are people that think

775
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: of themselves as serious public intellectuals who are spending their

776
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: time writing about how this is Donald Trump's fault. That's

777
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 1: what we're supposed to take from this is this is

778
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: a Trump problem. That's what they tell us. What is

779
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: the basis for this? What is the uh the foundation

780
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: of this? Well, this is now what the media marketplace demands.

781
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to be awoke liberal, if

782
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: you're going to be somebody on the left who really

783
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 1: believes all this stuff, believes in all this stuff, you

784
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: have to push the agenda. And that means any opportunity

785
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: you have to take things that occur and fit them

786
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: into the agenda that you have. You need to take

787
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: things that are occurring and use them for this purpose,

788
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: even if it doesn't line up. What's the most important

789
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: thing that you get the facts right, or that you

790
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: support the narrative. If you're a leftist, if you're a

791
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: social justice warrior, the narrative is the most important thing.

792
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: And that's the whole reason for this Andrew Sullivan piece.

793
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: I'd also say he points out, I think rather correctly

794
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: that mass shooters and mass killers, when they're in custody,

795
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: they tend to want to tell people why they did

796
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: these things, and we don't usually see them lying about it.

797
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: They usually will tell you, I shot these people because

798
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm a fundamentalist, lunatic who kills people because whatever it

799
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: may be. And in this instance, we're supposed to think

800
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: that this guy is lying about it. Why. I mean,

801
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that somebody who would murder eight innocent people,

802
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: including two non Asian individuals, who get left out of

803
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: much of the news coverage of this is somebody who's

804
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: trustworthy in any respect. Obviously, this guy is a moral monster,

805
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: but there's no reason to believe he would lie about

806
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: about his motivation. He's already caught. I mean, he's probably

807
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: gonna be facing the death penalty if he doesn't spend

808
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: the rest of his life in a criminal mental facility.

809
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: So why all the news reporting on how this is

810
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: about white supremacy and anti Asian bias? A lot of

811
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 1: news reporting on that. I also saw over the weekend

812
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: that there was a sixty eight year old Sri Lankan

813
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: immigrant on a train in Manhattan who was attacked while

814
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: the guy was shouting anti Asian slurs. And it was

815
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 1: a he was a black man wearing a pink hoodie,

816
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: pink hood sweatshirt with a fedora on. And there's very

817
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: prominent photos that have been released by the NYPD. And

818
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 1: now that's just one assault, that's one attack, but it's

819
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: clearly an anti I mean, if you're punching someone and

820
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: yelling anti Asian slurs, the guy just punched him for

821
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: no no, no altercation, nothing before, and just punched him.

822
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: If you're doing that, chances are it's a hate crime. Right,

823
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: If you're actually just punching somebody because you see them

824
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: and say I hate you because blank and you're hitting them,

825
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: it's a hate crime. There have been a lot of

826
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: incidents like this, and a disproportionate number of them, at

827
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:40,720
Speaker 1: least twenty seven percent by the numbers, overall of attacks

828
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: on Asian Americans come from black Americans. Yet the media

829
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: doesn't grapple with this and how it affects the white

830
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: supremacy and Donald Trump is responsible for calling it the

831
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 1: Wuhan virus at all. They don't deal with that at all.

832
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: What do they say, Oh, well, white the legacy and

833
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: a history of white supremacy is what has caused these

834
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 1: kinds of racial tensions to exist in the first place. Therefore,

835
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: even and this is real analysis you'll find online, even

836
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 1: when a black man attacks an Asian man for no

837
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: reason and screams anti Asian slurs, it is evidence to

838
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: the left of white supremacy. This is real, Bill. They

839
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: will say this, They will make that case. So be

840
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: aware of the fact that you're being misled. And we've

841
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: increasingly entered this world where what you can readily and

842
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: easily observe is no longer acceptable to be set out loud.

843
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: What you can see quite clearly is true or untrue

844
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 1: is risky to say, to share. To believe there is

845
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: a narrative, you are to accept it. And if the

846
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: narrative is that Donald Trump has created white supremacist a

847
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: wave of white supremacists tacks on Asian Americans, even if

848
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: the evidence does not in any meaningful way support that,

849
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: you better say that or else. This is Joe Biden's America.

850
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: We're now folks. That's how it goes. In the shadow

851
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: of this great American rescue package. Is so proud that

852
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: we've got that done in the Senate, in Congress, and

853
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,959
Speaker 1: out the door. But it shouldn't have been this hard.

854
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: It's been another reminder that we need to eliminate the filibuster.

855
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 1: So many important issues to tackle, from protecting voting rights,

856
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 1: addressing climate change, expanding healthcare access, criminal justice reform, immigration reform,

857
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: and so much more. It shouldn't be this hard, But

858
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: the filibuster is standing in the way, and it's time

859
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: for the filibuster to go. So I think patience is

860
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: where I'm finn on. The last few Democrats that are

861
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: still not quite there uneliminated the filibuster. So the sooner

862
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: we can do it, the sooner we can move on

863
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: with advancing a progressive agenda, not just for California but

864
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: for the nation. They tell you Democrats wouldn't actually and

865
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: they wouldn't actually elimitate the filibuster. That's that's the storyline

866
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: out there. They're not really going to do it. No,

867
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: I think they will do it. Why wouldn't they do it?

868
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: I have a very different feeling than a lot of

869
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 1: other people on this. We believe, including Republicans, we believe

870
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: that Democrats have an interest in playing fair. We think

871
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: that the Democrat approach this is going to be well,

872
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: we've set a precedent here, we need to, you know,

873
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: stay with what we've said we would do in the past.

874
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: Is that really the belief? No, right, No one really

875
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: thinks that's the case. The Democrats are unwilling to abuse

876
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: their power. No one really thinks that Democrats are unwilling

877
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: to go with an absolutist approach if they can get

878
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: away with it, right, So what's really going on here? Why?

879
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: Why are we sitting around acting like this isn't a

880
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: very realistic thing. I mean, that's Senator Alex Padilla, who's

881
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: just telling everybody, yeah, that the filibuster is the problem.

882
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: If you want to really progress of agenda, I mean,

883
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: if you want to transformationally progressive agenda, this is what

884
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 1: you gotta do. They got rid of it for judicial

885
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: nominees under Obama. I mean, can anyone else see the

886
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: incrementalism at work here? Can anyone else see the frog

887
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: slowly boiling at the temperature of the progressive absolutism keeps

888
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: getting turned up up up, filibuster standing in the way, Yeah, no, no,

889
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: no surprise. Anything that stands in the way of complete

890
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 1: democrat control, they will find some excuse, They will find

891
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: some rationale to tell you is a problem, and anyone

892
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: who points out their unprincipled actions will in turn be

893
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: called unprincipled. That's actually that's how this goes. That's the

894
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: way this operates. Let's see now what Tom Cotton, what

895
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton, Senator has to say about this. I mean

896
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: that just the fact that they're calling it filibuster reform

897
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 1: strikes me as just absurd. Right now, no one really

898
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: believes this is a reform of the this is filibuster elimination.

899
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: That's what they're trying to do. That's what they believe

900
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: is going on here, and that's what they want. So

901
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: why reform? How how are you reforming something? You know,

902
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: if you if you say you don't want three pointers

903
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: in basketball anymore, and you're going to get rid of

904
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: the three point line because NBA games have turned into

905
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 1: a three point shooting contest, which I think is the

906
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: whole other conversation we could have. You're not doing three

907
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: point shooting reform, you're eliminating three point shooting, reforming it

908
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: to be something else. You're saying it's gone. That's the

909
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: situation we find ourselves in here with the filibuster, because

910
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: it's the only procedural, real procedural hurdle to Democrats enacting

911
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 1: exactly the agenda they want with no one able to

912
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: even a little bit stand in their way. And here

913
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: is Tom Cotton on this play nine. There's something to

914
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: be said for compromise and bipartisanship and respect for the

915
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: rights of the minority in the Senate. These rules have

916
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: been in place since the beginning of our republic, and

917
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: the Democrats are engaged in pretty highly situational ethics. You know,

918
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: just four years ago, twenty seven Democrats still in the

919
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 1: Senate wrote a letter urging Mitch mcconullin Chuck Schumer to

920
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 1: maintain these rules. Now, most of those senators have flip

921
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: blops simply because they have the barest of majorities. Republicans

922
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: refuse to change those rules four years ago because we

923
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: respect these traditions in the Senate and we know they've

924
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: helped forge durable bipartisan consensus legislation. Yep, that's how the

925
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: Democrats play this. That's what they do. That's the way

926
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: this is going to go. And you know this right,

927
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: remember Frank Herbert. When I am weaker than you, I

928
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: ask for freedom because that is according to your principles.

929
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 1: When I am stronger than you, I take away your

930
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: freedom because that is according to my principles. The Frank

931
00:53:55,239 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 1: Herbert quote. That is if you want you know one

932
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: sentence explanation of the modern Democrat party, that's it. There

933
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: is no principle that can stand in the way. There

934
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 1: is nothing that will stop them from doing what they

935
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: want to do when it comes to institutions, when it

936
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: comes to fairness, nothing like that. It's just do they

937
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: have the ability, Do they have the raw exercise of

938
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: power at their disposal. If the answer is yes, that

939
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:31,240
Speaker 1: is what they will do. And this is all about

940
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: getting to that place for them. This is all about

941
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: putting themselves in that circumstance, that situation where no one's

942
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: really able, no one's really able to tell them that

943
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: they can't or to stop them. Forget about telling them

944
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 1: to stop them from enacting things like amnesty, things like

945
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:52,439
Speaker 1: some crazy climate change reform or a trillion dollar infrastructure

946
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: bill or HR one. These would all be things that

947
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: if they get through, they would have massive impact on

948
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: the country, and beyond that might prevent Republicans from actually

949
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: being able to win elections in the future. This is

950
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: what's at stake. And you know, there's a part of

951
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: me that that looks around and says, where are the

952
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 1: Republicans on all this, who's making the counter case here,

953
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: who's fighting back effectively against us. I'm not saying there's

954
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: nobody who's doing it, but not a lot of feelings

955
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: of optimism right now from within the GOP ranks about

956
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: how to stop this stuff. And I think that that's

957
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:33,480
Speaker 1: that sense of dread about the policies that are coming

958
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: is somewhat warranted. So we got to wake up America.

959
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: We gotta get ready for this stuff. You know that

960
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: a huge part of the way the left is going

961
00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: to continue to argue about the border is just about racism, right,

962
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: That's that's what They're going to really turn this into

963
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: a discussion about racism because the actual functions of border

964
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 1: patrol and immigrations and customs enforcement, what's happening on our

965
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: border is not allowed to be considered or not allowed

966
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: to be taught about openly and honestly. So they're going

967
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 1: to try to create a feeling of fear around the

968
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: general public. If you oppose this, if you think what's

969
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: going on in the border is a problem in any way,

970
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: you're racist. It's intellectually dishonest, it's not true, but it's

971
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: very effective. It's a very effective means of making people

972
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,439
Speaker 1: get back in line on this. It's it's a way

973
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: of shutting down open and honest conversation about what's really

974
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: happening at the southern border. And it's it's a reminder

975
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 1: too that anything that you say about this stuff online,

976
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: anything that anybody is saying, they want you to be

977
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 1: worried about it, and I mean this for you too.

978
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: You know, the cancel culture is not limited to people

979
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: like me who are in the public eye and do

980
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,719
Speaker 1: commentary and share their opinions for a living income, after anybody,

981
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,799
Speaker 1: and the websites that you go to, the places that

982
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: you're sharing your thoughts online, all this leaves a digital footprint,

983
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: and you never know what's going to happen in the

984
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: future with these big tech companies that may decide that

985
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: this information. First of all, it could just end up

986
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: getting released publicly. There's hacks that can happen. But do

987
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 1: you trust Google and Facebook and Twitter to have all

988
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: this data on you? Why give it to them for free?

989
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: You can anonymize your connection and serve the Internet freely

990
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: without wondering who's going to get a hold of your

991
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: search history or your viewing habits, and you know the

992
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 1: possible cancelation that can come along with it. You know,

993
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: too many NRA dot com visits or something, and all

994
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden you find yourself in trouble. Right you

995
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 1: don't want to deal with that. There's never been a

996
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: more important time to protect your Internet activity than right now.

997
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,560

1010
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: got Senator Marsha Blackburne joining us now from the great

1011
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: state of Tennessee. She was just down at our southern border.

1012
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: Senator blackburn thanks for being with us. I am absolutely

1013
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: delighted to join you and so pleased to kind of

1014
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: give you some of the details that we saw on

1015
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 1: the border, because you know, the Biden administration just isn't

1016
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: letting out any of the facts and figures on this well,

1017
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: we just want to give the floor to you to

1018
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: tell us some of the observation, some of the ground

1019
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: truth you picked up. We know there's a crisis. We

1020
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: know the numbers are very large of those coming across

1021
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: the border and being helping the facilities. Beyond that, there

1022
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: seems to be a lot of dispute as to more

1023
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: of the specifics of the processing and the fact. So

1024
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: tell us what you actually saw firsthand. Well, one of

1025
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: the things that we saw firstand is that the cartels

1026
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: have become very sophisticated. And I think it is important

1027
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: for everyone to realize these are not individuals just on

1028
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: their own picking up and saying we are heading to

1029
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 1: the USA. These are individuals who are contracting with a

1030
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: coyote who's a part of a cartel. The cartel then

1031
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: charges a fee. As these individuals begin to make their

1032
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: they are issued cartel issue clothing, you know, like we

1033
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: our military issues clothing or a business issues a certain

1034
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: clothing items. The cartel has backpacks and carpet shoes and

1035
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: things of that nature that they are issuing to these

1036
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 1: migrants that are trying to come in illegally. Now they

1037
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 1: also have to wear a band on their wrists, like

1038
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: you know when you go to a concert and they

1039
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: banned you to show that you have paid and you

1040
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: have certain access. Well, the cartels will band these migrants

1041
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: to show that they have paid their fee or that

1042
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 1: they are going to have to work out their fee

1043
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: once they get to America, and that is where you

1044
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: get these labor gangs and sex trafficking rings and gangs

1045
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:52,959
Speaker 1: by basically this indentured servitude that they are practicing. And

1046
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: yesterday when we were down in Panell County with Sheriff Lamb,

1047
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 1: Mark Lamb, we had the opportunity to go out and

1048
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: kind of walk that track where you have a reservation

1049
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: that fronts the Mexican side and then on the north

1050
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: fronts the US territory, and that reservation straddles the border,

1051
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: and what you have the migrants doing. The cartels will

1052
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: bring these individuals through those reservations and then they walk

1053
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: the rest of the way up to getting to the

1054
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,479
Speaker 1: point that they can pop on I eight or ten

1055
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: and then take off. The other thing that has started

1056
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: to happen is that you have El Chapos cartel which

1057
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: is basically running the Arizona border. You know, yeah, the

1058
01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 1: similar cartel, and they are in charge of Arizona well

1059
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: fifty percent of all the street drugs that are coming

1060
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: in the country are run by El Chopos cartel through Arizona,

1061
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: and I eight and I ten have basically become the

1062
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: Fentnyl Freeway this year because the use of fentnyl and

1063
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: meth is up so drastically. They even have started. The

1064
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: cartels have a concoction that they have some of the

1065
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:39,120
Speaker 1: migrants to drink, and it's a liquid that has meth

1066
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: and heroin in it. And this is kind of how

1067
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 1: they kind of, I guess, keep them motivated or awake

1068
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: or alert or something to make this journey. So these

1069
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: are some of the things that we saw first ten

1070
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: we also had the opportunity down in Coachy's County with

1071
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 1: Sheriff Danals to walk along the border wall, and I

1072
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: have to tell you it is this is where you

1073
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 1: can see how we have an environmental crisis, a humanitarian crisis,

1074
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: a drug crisis. Because they've already cut the roads into

1075
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: the mountain side, they've already trenched out to finish this

1076
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 1: border wall, and of course the Biden administration said halt

1077
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: everything immediately, no further work at all, period, full stop,

1078
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:42,320
Speaker 1: and the equipment and Also, the border wall components are

1079
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: all sitting there in the yard in Coaches County waiting

1080
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: to be used. And now what is going to happen

1081
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 1: if they don't get the rock laid, the concrete laid,

1082
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: finished some of this before you get to the monsoon,

1083
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: you are going to have a great, big miss is

1084
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: going to be an environmental disaster as well. And there

1085
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: are just gaping holes in the wall, if you will

1086
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: that where there is work that is needing to be finished.

1087
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: We're speaking of Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. She was

1088
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: just down at the border and Senator Blackburn, there's already

1089
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: some reporting about, let's just say, a lack of transparency

1090
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: for the actual facilities where these migrants who are crossing

1091
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: in the country illegally are being held. You're a United

1092
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: States senator. One would think that you would you would

1093
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: be able to get transparency and access into these facilities.

1094
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about that? I mean, is

1095
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: there an effort to prevent people from being able to

1096
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: see what's going on? I think that there is an effort.

1097
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: My goodness, you know, when the local sheriffs are saying, hey,

1098
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: come on down here, we're going to show you exactly

1099
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 1: leave what is going on, and we're going to give

1100
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: you a full picture of what is happening because the

1101
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: federal government won't do it. What we do know is

1102
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,840
Speaker 1: that ICE is not showing up at some of these

1103
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: county jails in order to pick these migrants up, and

1104
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: they're leaving it to the sheriffs to tend to this.

1105
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 1: We know that the sheriffs are saying and the ranchers

1106
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: and the property owners are saying, hey, look, you know

1107
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: we have them on our property. I talked to a

1108
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: lady who said, you know, they had walked out and

1109
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: there was a backpack. You know, people can identify these

1110
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: things because, as I said, it's cartel issued clothing. So

1111
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: they see a backpack from one of the migrants, it's

1112
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: in the backyard, and they have small children in their family.

1113
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: Another one said, you know, we have them try to

1114
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: transit through our rant. It prohibits us from doing some

1115
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: of the ranch work that we would like to do.

1116
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: People have to be careful about locking up all of

1117
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: their vehicles, all of their tools. These are American citizens

1118
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and their property rights are being so infringed, and the

1119
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: federal government is not showing up to help. You have

1120
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: these local counties where taxpayers are footing the bill for

1121
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: a lot of this local taxpayers because the federal government

1122
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: does not show up to pick up those migrant criminal

1123
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 1: illegal aliens that should be being held. And by the way,

1124
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: you have all of these sheriffs that will tell you,

1125
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 1: and you have border patrol, which are you know, God

1126
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: love them. They're just working their fingers to the bone

1127
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: down there, and they will tell you. Look, you know,

1128
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: we have people from all over the world. The word

1129
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: is out, the border is open. If you're going to come, now,

1130
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: it's the time to come, Senator Blackburn, if we'll let

1131
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: you go, we're speaking Senator Blackburn of Tennessee for everybody

1132
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: joining us. Do you see this getting any better? It

1133
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: seems as though the Biden administration's focus on this is

1134
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,240
Speaker 1: to make the process more streamline for those who cross

1135
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: over and to add extra capacity. But that doesn't seem

1136
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: likely to stop the flow. Oh, no, that is going

1137
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: to increase the flow. You are exactly right about that.

1138
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: It is if they start adding capacity, what does it

1139
01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: do It increases the flow because what you're doing is

1140
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: emboldening the cartels. And by the way, cartels are big business.

1141
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: They make more money off of trafficking humans than they

1142
01:07:53,480 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: do drugs right now. And the labor thangs, the gangs,

1143
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 1: the MS thirteen gangs, the sex trafficking. These are people

1144
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: from all over the globe that are coming. So this

1145
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 1: is one we have to secure this border. It's fine.

1146
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,560
Speaker 1: The Biden administration really needs to get their act together

1147
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: on this. This is about keeping the American people safe.

1148
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 1: When somebody's coming in this country illegally, we don't know

1149
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 1: what kind of biologics they're bringing, what kind of weapons

1150
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:32,599
Speaker 1: they're bringing, what drugs they are bringing, or if they're

1151
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: COVID positive. We don't have answers to any of those questions.

1152
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: Senator Marsha Blackburne of Tennessee, always appreciate you joining a senator.

1153
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:45,439
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for your time. Good talking to you.

1154
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: Take care. There's this thing happening in the Republican Party

1155
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 1: right now where I feel like they're trying to outraceist

1156
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:55,759
Speaker 1: one another. And then they claim when people criticize those

1157
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: comments that they're being canceled, you know, into crime, cancel culture,

1158
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:02,000
Speaker 1: and then they fundraise off of it. It's this weird

1159
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 1: cycle of saying the racist thing, denying the thing you

1160
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: said is racist, and then fundraising off of that when

1161
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: you're criticized by everyone else. And I think everybody heard

1162
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:12,040
Speaker 1: what he said, We know what he means, we know

1163
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: what that expression comes from. And I find it ghastly

1164
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: that he would invoke that at a hearing when they

1165
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,920
Speaker 1: we're talking that day about anti Asian hatred and the

1166
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: fact that eight people were killed this week because of

1167
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: potentially white supremacy and white supremacist violence. And so that's

1168
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 1: the issue. The issue is not an expression from Texas

1169
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: in which you invoke lynching. Oh gosh, here we have

1170
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: again more, it's it's white supremacist violence in Atlanta. Even

1171
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: though we've gone over the day day is that the

1172
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 1: information that we have is that it is not, in fact,

1173
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: was not motivated by white supremacist violence. White supremacy is

1174
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: being If you watch MSNBC, if you are an avid

1175
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: CNN watcher, this is you would think the biggest problem

1176
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: in America, worst than COVID, I mean, the worst thing

1177
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: in America today, the most dangerous, lethal, and frightening thing

1178
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:18,720
Speaker 1: that we deal with in this country is if you

1179
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 1: watch MSNBC, CNN, read The New York Times, it is

1180
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: white supremacy remarkable, And you'd have to wonder as well,

1181
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: is the country so much more racist now than it

1182
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: was twenty years ago when white supremacy as a term

1183
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: was reserved for actual white supremacists. What's really changed the

1184
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: way they describe America on the left or the actual

1185
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: the actual situation in this country? Have we gotten much

1186
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: more racist? Is that really their belief? I'd be very

1187
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 1: curious to hear how that makes any sense. But you

1188
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: should just be prepared for a future in which the argument, increasingly,

1189
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,640
Speaker 1: especially around the immigration, becomes an argument about race and

1190
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 1: racism from the left perspective. That's what they'll do. That's

1191
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: the likely place that they will take it because they

1192
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 1: feel very comfortable, They feel very powerful in that part

1193
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:17,639
Speaker 1: of the discussion. You know, lecturing anybody who's on the

1194
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:21,439
Speaker 1: right of American politics about race is so easy and

1195
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: puts people who are a Republican, doesn't matter what your

1196
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,600
Speaker 1: racist is a Republican if you're in the part of

1197
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: the GOP, if you're a conservative, you're on the defensive

1198
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:31,640
Speaker 1: the moment the issue of racism comes up. That's the

1199
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:33,719
Speaker 1: way that this has all been set up. That's the game,

1200
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: and you can be prepared for a lot more of

1201
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 1: that kind of discussion. Here here is ilhan Omar talking

1202
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 1: about the border searche play eleven. It means understanding that

1203
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: searches happen. And you know, this, this conversation around the

1204
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: hysteria that is happening with the Republicans right now is

1205
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:01,600
Speaker 1: centered around, you know, the eating political points. It's not

1206
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: about the safety of Americans. It's not about adhering to

1207
01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 1: international law and allowing people to seek asylum. It's not

1208
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: about coming to the table and working with us UM

1209
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 1: in regards to immigration policy. Because if any of those

1210
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: things were true, you would hear hysteria from them in

1211
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: regards to the northern border. You would hear hysteria from

1212
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 1: them around you know, folks who become undocumented because they

1213
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: overstay their visas. And so it shows you really that

1214
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: this this conversation, it's about maligning and you know, I

1215
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: think creating a tortuous space that often becomes dangerous and

1216
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 1: violent for those that are the least fortunate in our

1217
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: immigration population. The northern border. I mean, that's really the

1218
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: argument here, that we're supposed to worry about the northern border.

1219
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if we had one hundred thousand people a

1220
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 1: month crossing into the country from Canada, and they were

1221
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: coming from all over the world. I can assure a

1222
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: representative OMAR that that would also get a lot of attention.

1223
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 1: And I can assure representative of OMAR that there are

1224
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: people who really do believe that this is a rule

1225
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: of law issue, and that you know, if you're a

1226
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 1: bad person for wanting to stand up for our immigration

1227
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 1: system and for the laws around it, and I want

1228
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: actually stand up for it. I know there are problems

1229
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: with it everything else, but just having an immigration system

1230
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: instead of laws about who can come here and when,

1231
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: how they can stay, and how long they can stay

1232
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 1: and everything else, if you're a bad person for being

1233
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: upset when those laws are broken or thinking that that's

1234
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: a problem. Why do we have immigration laws? I mean,

1235
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: you have to really get into the underlying mentality here,

1236
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: and in the moment you do that, you recognize these

1237
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: democrats or just nuts, well, actually they're doing exactly what

1238
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,559
Speaker 1: they think is most likely to benefit their political power

1239
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: and give them the most benefits. So in a sense

1240
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense. I get what they're doing. I'm

1241
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: not surprised by any this. In fact, you know I

1242
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 1: wrote a book about, you know, in advance before the pandemic,

1243
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: the Socialism Survival Guide, and I wrote it for Stansbury Research.

1244
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 1: And in the book, I said, you know, open borders,

1245
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: sovereignty is for suckers. That was the title of my

1246
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 1: immigration chapter. I wrote that in twenty nineteen. We're seeing

1247
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: exactly that play out right now. This is what the

1248
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,080
Speaker 1: Democrats want. They're getting what they want. The problem for

1249
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 1: them is just that the American people are figuring it

1250
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: out sooner than the Democrats anticipated and seeing it for

1251
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 1: what it really is. That's what upsets them. Our buddy

1252
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Ryan Gerderski back with us now. He is a writer,

1253
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: political analyst. He's the author of They're Not Listening How

1254
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:05,640
Speaker 1: the Elites Created a Populist Revolution. Mister Kurdski, good to

1255
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 1: have you. Let's start with this. I want to get

1256
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: you on something that caught at least the attention of

1257
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: conservatives over the weekend, Christinome. Whenever I talk about how

1258
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 1: Ronda Santists has done an amazing job, rohnds sand has

1259
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: done a great job in Florida, I got all these

1260
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: people that say, what about Christinome right away? And what

1261
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: I want to say to them, is well, I mean

1262
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: she's the governor of South Dakota, which you know has

1263
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:33,440
Speaker 1: the population of San Jose, California, and has a population

1264
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: density of like Inner Mongolia or something. Right. I mean,

1265
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a little bit of a different

1266
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 1: situation than Rhonda Santists with Miami and Tampa and Orlando,

1267
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: and you know, you got the list. You know it's

1268
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: it's a different situation. And yet now we see she

1269
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 1: won't sign. She was all excited to sign a ban

1270
01:15:54,600 --> 01:16:00,600
Speaker 1: on transgender males in female sports, but she's sending it

1271
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: back now all of a sudden. I'm seeing people say

1272
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: this is just because she's caving to pressure groups. What

1273
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 1: are you seeing? No, this is one hundred percent because

1274
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 1: she's caving. I mean, one of the biggest opponents of

1275
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 1: this bill is one of her biggest donors in the

1276
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce, Christine nom Here's theme of Christime. I

1277
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: get it. She's beautiful, she's articulate. We want a woman,

1278
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: we want to diversify the party. It's not her. It's

1279
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 1: just not her. She's not gonna be the one to

1280
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: sit there and do it. She was a she was

1281
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: a moderate House member she's a moderate governor. Yea, she

1282
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 1: handled the COVID shut down fine, but that is not

1283
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: enough to sit there and say, oh, you should be

1284
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 1: a future presidential Candida, especially being the governor of South Dakota,

1285
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: one of the states that is one of the least

1286
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: impactful when it comes to electoral college. No, she's this

1287
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: is this is totally typical of her. And listen, here's

1288
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: what Republicans have to reconcile with the Chamber of Commerce,

1289
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: big business. They are four two of the biggest things

1290
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,839
Speaker 1: that we were against right now, critical race theory in government,

1291
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: in business, and there for transgender girls playing boys trenches

1292
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: or boys rather playing girls sports. They are one hundred

1293
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: percent for both of those things. So any conversation that

1294
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: we are going to have to sit there and roll

1295
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 1: back those or use government force to roll those things back,

1296
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 1: it has to come at the expense of the donor class.

1297
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: Christian Noman is not going to be that person. She's

1298
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: immensely weak on that issue. And she's a total total

1299
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:25,200
Speaker 1: swamp preacher. I don't caram tell me, she says there

1300
01:17:25,200 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: and says in Maca. She's a total swamp preacher. When

1301
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: you think of her, you should just basically think of

1302
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: lish Chaney. Wow, Liz Cheney, but a little different. But

1303
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:37,640
Speaker 1: Liz Chaney, okay, with blue with nicer eyes. I mean,

1304
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: that's basically the same exact thing. She's not. She's note

1305
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: there's no difference on real hardcore policy whatever. She was

1306
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: the first governor when Trump said I'm gonna like governors

1307
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: decide if they want refugees or not refugees, she was

1308
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: one of the first governors to say, no, let's have

1309
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: Somemalis come to South Dakota. She is she's not good

1310
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: on policy. She never has been going on policy. We

1311
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't expect to be going on policy. She shouldn't be

1312
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: on a presidential ticket. I get it. She's a beautiful,

1313
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: articular woman. That is not enough to make you somebody

1314
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: we should be, you know, praising to Santez. I can

1315
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: name fifteen good issues top of my head that he's

1316
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: been great on. Now let's let's actually get your your

1317
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,520
Speaker 1: take on the the me since we're bringing up to Santis.

1318
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 1: You know, over the weekend, there was this spring break

1319
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: thing in South Beach. I mean, a spring break is

1320
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: obviously for a general, but there's a there's a spring

1321
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 1: break celebration in South Beach, and they were saying in

1322
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: some of the outlets, I saw, oh, there's a COVID

1323
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 1: curfew going into effect. My two brothers live in South

1324
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 1: Beach right now. Okay, I've got two brothers on the

1325
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:37,639
Speaker 1: ground in South Beach. They said it was absolute madness

1326
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: on the streets, violence, chaos, fights breaking out, you know,

1327
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 1: and everyone was very aware that this was completely out

1328
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 1: of control. Had nothing to do with COVID policy, right,

1329
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: And if they had Black Lives Matter sign, no one

1330
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 1: would have cared. Only difference that they were. They were

1331
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 1: missing a Black Lives Matter sign while they were doing

1332
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:56,880
Speaker 1: all those things. If they had, If they did have

1333
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: that though, the media would not care whatsoever. Listen they

1334
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,840
Speaker 1: are the media is absolutely doing any possibly can to

1335
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 1: make sure Ron de Sands is not the president in

1336
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Um, they know that he's an immensely

1337
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:10,760
Speaker 1: popular governor of a state large enough to be its

1338
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: own country. That the shutdown, that Democrat politicians in safe

1339
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: democratic states like New York and California are facing tough

1340
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: reelection battles like they ever should have, and Desanders should

1341
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: be the one, um, you know, having to having to

1342
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: fight for his life. But he's not. And they know

1343
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: that because everything they've they've prescribed over the last year

1344
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,600
Speaker 1: plus because of COVID has been an utter failure. De

1345
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 1: Sants has become a hero to the to the to

1346
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 1: the right wing of the party, not just over lockdowns,

1347
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 1: but over a million other issues. As I said, so

1348
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: they're highlighting is like a bunch of like black teenagers

1349
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 1: in twenty year olds fighting in Miami. I mean, seriously,

1350
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: if we if we look at what the violence was

1351
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 1: like in Portland or in Minneapolis or anywhere else, or

1352
01:19:56,360 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: the events happening in Washington, DC in Shune last June,

1353
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: where it was Black Lives Matter activists not wearing masks,

1354
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:06,959
Speaker 1: dancing to like the Cupid Shuffle on the street, thousands

1355
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 1: of them not wearing masks and doing all those things

1356
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: leading up to violence. The media did not sit there

1357
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 1: and say the mayor Bowser should resign. You know, they said,

1358
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: this is you know, people are feeling their their their

1359
01:20:19,439 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 1: moment right now. Please give me a break. I mean

1360
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, it was a bunch of teenagers or

1361
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 1: twenty year olds, probably a lot of them drunk, doing

1362
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,559
Speaker 1: stupid things. It's nothing to do with the governor, the governor.

1363
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: It was not like the governor was there saying, you know,

1364
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: everyone chug a keg, I mean everyone needs to relax.

1365
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: Speaking to Ryan Grdusky, he's the author of They're Not

1366
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: Listening and a political analyst and writer. Ryan, Now let's

1367
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: talking about immigration because I'm I'm feeling like people aren't

1368
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:48,680
Speaker 1: really getting the message that the Democrats are not that

1369
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:53,440
Speaker 1: they're not aligned on the fundamental issue here of stopping

1370
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: this policy from allowing people to gain the immigration system.

1371
01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: They just don't like the optics of overcrowded facilities and

1372
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,879
Speaker 1: people uh doing this in a way where it's obvious

1373
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:05,800
Speaker 1: what's going on. They have It seems to be the

1374
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: Democrats just want to make this less obvious. And to

1375
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: the Chamber of Commerce, which you brought up before, there

1376
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: are a Republican and there are there are you know,

1377
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 1: swamp interests that do want to see this continue. I

1378
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: think people have this assumption that like it's a crisis,

1379
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:21,680
Speaker 1: Oh well, we all wanted to be dealt with the

1380
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: same way. There are a lot of people that would say, oh, well,

1381
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: do we have enough enough beds and enough facilities for

1382
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:28,760
Speaker 1: everybody who's coming. Well, then the crisis is over. Sure,

1383
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:31,840
Speaker 1: we're just processing people now. The most indicative thing was

1384
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: that there was two votes for an amnesty. Last week.

1385
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: You had you had thirty Republicans join join every Democrat

1386
01:21:40,720 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 1: for a farm workers amnesty, which was explicitly created to

1387
01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 1: not punish businesses that hired illegal labor, to explicitly make

1388
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,880
Speaker 1: sure that wages were depressed in the farm ministry, and

1389
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: that they never had to recognize this is this is outrageous.

1390
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: And then there was another bill on the dock, a

1391
01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: dream amnesty, which had nine Republicans join us. So I

1392
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 1: think that and Senator Rick Scott, who is the head

1393
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: of the NRSC has been floating, he's been asking other

1394
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,640
Speaker 1: senators to join a legalization bill for illegal aliens. No,

1395
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 1: I don't think that they do get it at all. Um,

1396
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: I don't think they don't think they understood, you know,

1397
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:17,160
Speaker 1: the most Republican elective donors in the base whatsoever. But

1398
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats they're not. This is not a question of

1399
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: two sides trying to figure out a humanitarian way to

1400
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 1: deal with a crisis and tom and to you know,

1401
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: protect the border. This is one side that is literally

1402
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: like we shouldn't have a border anyone who gets gets

1403
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 1: into America should become should be allowed to live here,

1404
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: They should be allowed to vote here because they vote

1405
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 1: seventy thirty Democrat. You know, as I saw this over

1406
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: and over and over again in twenty sixteen, Trump won

1407
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: a plurality of the vote with people who vote who

1408
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: were born in America where he lost the boat were

1409
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: born born people. They know it's a countdown to how

1410
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:55,600
Speaker 1: how long until it gets how many more people do

1411
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:59,919
Speaker 1: they get Arizona, permanent, Blue Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida,

1412
01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:04,200
Speaker 1: and it's Democratic presidents the whole countributst California. They know

1413
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: that is a countdown. That's why people like you know,

1414
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, you know, these were all people

1415
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 1: who were against mass amnesty and mass immigration less than

1416
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,639
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Hillary Clinton used to be talking about,

1417
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders talked about it. They only change their opinion

1418
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: once they saw the vote totals and say, we can

1419
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:28,880
Speaker 1: make sure that we have the entire Southwest and southern

1420
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: part of the United States Democrat forever, will have Democrat

1421
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 1: presidents from here on out. It's about power, and it's

1422
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: about and also, by the way, they're all corporates too.

1423
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: They all have corporate donors or whatsoever. It's not like

1424
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: corporations only don't go into Republicans. They're all basically giving

1425
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:45,719
Speaker 1: to both parties. So they're feeding off their Democratic donors

1426
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: and they know they can get the vote and get

1427
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: it for long enough and they will whole power forever.

1428
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,600
Speaker 1: One thing I think is fascinating, and we're speaking to

1429
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Gurdusky, a political writer and an analyst. Ryan, is

1430
01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: that the Mayorkas line on this, for example, what what

1431
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: and the White House will have Jensak and others come forward,

1432
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 1: and they keep saying the border is not open. We

1433
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,640
Speaker 1: turn people away. And I always want to ask, okay,

1434
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 1: why do you turn people away? You know, in one

1435
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,719
Speaker 1: breath it's these are four year olds who are swimming

1436
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: across the Rio grand and we have an obligation and

1437
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: a humanitarian But then when people see what's actually happening

1438
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 1: in the facilities, the numbers of people, the Democrats turn

1439
01:24:25,160 --> 01:24:26,840
Speaker 1: around and say, oh no, but don't worry, we're actually

1440
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: sending most people away. And it's well, first of all,

1441
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 1: what's the percentage? And second of all, based on the

1442
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 1: way the Democrat party views this, why why do they

1443
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:38,759
Speaker 1: send that him? I mean, I know why. I believe

1444
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 1: in rule of law. I believe that we have an

1445
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:44,040
Speaker 1: immigration system that must be respected. They don't really believe

1446
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:45,720
Speaker 1: that though, So it seems to me like there's just

1447
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: a disingenuous when they try to when they try to

1448
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 1: calm the issue down by saying, oh, don't worry, we're

1449
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 1: still deporting people. Well, why why would Democrats do that

1450
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 1: based on the logic of their position? Do you see

1451
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Well, you know, they are turning people

1452
01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 1: away on the under President Trump's Healthcare Act, the title

1453
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 1: forty two issue. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, it's it's so.

1454
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: But he what he did change was he's on two things.

1455
01:25:11,400 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 1: One he's been saying, well, we'll take your children, so

1456
01:25:14,760 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 1: you're you know, fifteen thousand kids per month is well

1457
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:21,240
Speaker 1: respecting this month. So we'll take your children. Your children

1458
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 1: have to wait and we'll reunite you eventually. And the

1459
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 1: other thing keeps saying is we'll stand by, stand by,

1460
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: and we'll get to you. And he said a thout

1461
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 1: the entire campaign he said it as president. Um he says,

1462
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 1: we're working on making the system more just. So it's

1463
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: just basically a waiting game because they know he's gonna

1464
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 1: do it. And just I mean, it was this Sunday

1465
01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 1: that ABC reporter or Martha Rodd Raddits talked to one

1466
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: of the migrants and said, did you come here because

1467
01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: Biden is president? He said yes, I wouldn't have come

1468
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: under Trump. It is an attitude thing when they perceive

1469
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:55,120
Speaker 1: and trust in the coyotes and the human smugglers, tell

1470
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 1: them this president is going to be easy on you.

1471
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 1: You can get in and you know, you know. At

1472
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: this point, it's just two things baff on my mind. One,

1473
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand why. I don't understand the optics, and

1474
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,520
Speaker 1: I don't store they have been hit harder that Democrat

1475
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 1: that this Democratic president made American troops reserve as sleep

1476
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 1: on a concrete cold floor in a parking lot in WASHINGTONDC.

1477
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,759
Speaker 1: But he's paying eighty six million dollars to a month

1478
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: just that they're in house illegal aliens and hotels. And

1479
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 1: then the other thing I understand is who keeps paying

1480
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: for these Biden twenty twenty t shirts that these migrants

1481
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 1: are wearing. I just I would love to know how

1482
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: all these migroups are wearing Biden t shirts. I mean,

1483
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't the Biden campaign shipping me is off to

1484
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,640
Speaker 1: the Central America. So those two things sit there and

1485
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 1: question my mind. But fundamentally they don't view I mean

1486
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 1: Nancy Polosis said that, you know, illegal aliens are like

1487
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:54,679
Speaker 1: the founding Fathers. They don't view these people in any

1488
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: context where they are breaking the wall. They don't believe

1489
01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:58,680
Speaker 1: this is a lot. That's what I meant to get

1490
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: to though, about why they're turning people away. They don't

1491
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,240
Speaker 1: really think they should have to turn people away. They

1492
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 1: just say this. I mean, the Democrat mindset to the

1493
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:10,960
Speaker 1: Democrat Party believes that immigrants there is only positive from

1494
01:27:11,040 --> 01:27:13,959
Speaker 1: taking an immigrants, if you speak, they're better than Americans

1495
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: in every way, Yeah, they're better than Americans. And if

1496
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 1: you have any problem with people crossing into the country illegally,

1497
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: any problem with overwhelming assimilation in this country, with taking

1498
01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: we're already taken a million a year. I legally we're

1499
01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: gonna take now you know, maybe a half a million

1500
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: through this process of the border. Who knows what the

1501
01:27:29,160 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: number is actually going to be. And if you have

1502
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 1: any problem that you're a bad person illegally. Yeah, now,

1503
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: it'll be It'll be unbelievable, the high numbers because of

1504
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: what Biden has done in his administration, and they just

1505
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:49,480
Speaker 1: they don't have Mimericas is completely incapable of handling this situation.

1506
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:56,439
Speaker 1: And you're seeing a splintering of both Democrats on the

1507
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,919
Speaker 1: border Gonzala representatives Gonzalez Andeculiar who are this a crisis?

1508
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: Joe Mansion is now calling this a crisis. They realize

1509
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: these numbers. Immigration, the oh predictive polster. It was a

1510
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:12,080
Speaker 1: pretty good poster for the state of Arizona. Immigration is

1511
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: now the number one issue in Arizona, not COVID, not jobs. Immigration.

1512
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: This is gonna be and it's gonna be very, very,

1513
01:28:19,040 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 1: very bad for Demiraia. I was gonna say, is this

1514
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 1: gonna cost them in the mid terms? Your estimation rusby

1515
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 1: Ryan gr Dusky political analysts ahead, Ryan, They're gonna lose

1516
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 1: the House one hundred percent. I don't see any which way.

1517
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 1: The only way that they can hope that the House

1518
01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:33,559
Speaker 1: managed to change is if the Pennsylvania Supreme Court gets

1519
01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: involved to jerry mander Pennsylvania for the Democrats. But and

1520
01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: and and they jerry mander in New York. But other

1521
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 1: than that they're losing the House. I mean, it's just

1522
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: it's all but guaranteed for the Democrats at this point.

1523
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:50,040
Speaker 1: Their numbers are so bad. Uh, it's you know, the

1524
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 1: first mid term of a presidential cycle, it's always bad

1525
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 1: for them. But on immigration, it's going to be a

1526
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,719
Speaker 1: complete disaster. And what Americans don't like is they don't

1527
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 1: like when you when you're for critical on the laws

1528
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: you passed the fact that Americans kids still cannot go

1529
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 1: to school because the New York the New York, but

1530
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: the public teachers unions across the country, including New York,

1531
01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: they still cannot go to school. But illegal alien migrant

1532
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 1: children they get to go to school. They get to

1533
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 1: go in person schooling. So they just they cannot live

1534
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 1: with a hypocrisy of this administration. I hope they pay

1535
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,280
Speaker 1: a big price for this one. But we'll see Ryan

1536
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: or dusk everybody. Ryan, thanks so much for joining man.

1537
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 1: Great to have you. Thank you so to the extent

1538
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 1: that we can help solve some of the problems at home.

1539
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 1: And instead of canceling that investment, which the Trump administration canceled,

1540
01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:44,600
Speaker 1: the investment that we had to do just that. I

1541
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 1: wish you could see the impact of what USAID can

1542
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 1: do to help children in those countries. So that is

1543
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:57,800
Speaker 1: to back up again and say that Biden administration has

1544
01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:03,080
Speaker 1: this under control. It will take its change, and it'll

1545
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 1: take some time, but it is values based, humanitarian and

1546
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:12,759
Speaker 1: its aspects pragmatic and how with a plan to get

1547
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 1: things done and not just a diversionary tactic on the

1548
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:20,919
Speaker 1: part of the Republicans because they are bankrupt of ideas

1549
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 1: on how to improve the lives of American people. They

1550
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:27,200
Speaker 1: run to the border. Yeah, Nancy Pelosi here folks telling you, oh,

1551
01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 1: it's all gonna be fine, just you know, give it time,

1552
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: and something mutter muttered, Yeah, y's you know what I

1553
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 1: really care about as the children. You know, Nancy always

1554
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 1: always finds their way to talk about the children. You know,

1555
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,360
Speaker 1: this is I've never heard a politician that, when she

1556
01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:48,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have a good argument, is faster to make it

1557
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: about how she really just wants to help the children. Sure, yeah, Nancy,

1558
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,599
Speaker 1: Nancy cares a whole whole heck of a lot. They've

1559
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 1: created a terrible situation in the border. We can all

1560
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 1: see it, we all know what's going on, and yet

1561
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 1: what are we actually figuring out about all of this.

1562
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:05,720
Speaker 1: What are we actually learning about all of this? It's

1563
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 1: only going to get worse, it's not going to get better.

1564
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 1: How is it going to get better when their their

1565
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: goal is to make the process easier and more comfortable

1566
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:18,600
Speaker 1: for the migrants who were crossing, and to make it

1567
01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:21,919
Speaker 1: so that they're more likely to be in a comfortable,

1568
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:24,360
Speaker 1: more a better facility. I mean, they're spending eighty million

1569
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 1: dollars on they're spending eighty million dollars to taking it.

1570
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:30,439
Speaker 1: That's a lot of money to put migrants in hotels,

1571
01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:36,320
Speaker 1: in hotels that that's where we are now. Show up

1572
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 1: in America, break, you know, come in illegally, try to

1573
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 1: game the system. We'll put you up in a hotel

1574
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 1: and then we'll let you go and do whatever you

1575
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 1: want to do. That's the Democrat version of having this

1576
01:31:46,320 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 1: issue in hand. And you can't ignore the politics of us.

1577
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 1: You can't ignore what this is going to mean over

1578
01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: long term. If if foreign born people voted more frequently

1579
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 1: for Republicans and Democrats, Nancy Pelos would be standing at

1580
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 1: the border waving, waving border patrol after people saying, you know,

1581
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: go get him, arrest him. You know, if foreign born

1582
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 1: individuals in general who come into the country illegally were

1583
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:16,839
Speaker 1: not inclined, especially after an amnesty, to vote in favor

1584
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 1: of Democrats, they would have a very different view of

1585
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 1: this situation. We all know it. I mean, you think

1586
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi really cares about what's going on in Central America.

1587
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi doesn't care about what's going on in you know,

1588
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:33,720
Speaker 1: poor parts of Oakland, not far from her district, right,

1589
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi lives in a mansion, and it's all about

1590
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 1: her and her power. And you know she's not. She's

1591
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: not some really kind, thoughtful person that wants to help

1592
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 1: all the impoverished masses of the world because she's so

1593
01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: sweet and loving. It's because it consolidates her power. The

1594
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:56,200
Speaker 1: show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for roll call

1595
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: Producer Mark. Everybody producer Mark tell us exciting tales from

1596
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,680

1598
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:14,200

1599
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm curious, more curious if you haven't even a clue

Speaker 1: what event is going on? Yeah, it's the Spring Olympics, obviously.

1601
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean kind of march madness. Maybe you've heard of it.

1602
01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, yes, March madness. That's a thing. That's

1603
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 1: a thing. So that was Rutgers doing. By the way,

1604
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:41,439
Speaker 1: Rutgers lost less night in heartbreaking fashion. Actually, they had

1605
01:33:41,439 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 1: a chance to go to the Sweet sixteen. I don't

1606
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 1: know if the first time ever, the first time in

1607
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 1: a long time. They were up late and then ended

1608
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:52,320
Speaker 1: up losing and it was a heartbreaker for sure. Yeah,

1609
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of upsets. Is fifteen seed. Oral

01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:01,600

1612
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:04,720
Speaker 1: a toothpaste. Yes, that's what everyone says as well. And

1613
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:08,200
Speaker 1: there they'll be facing Arkansas in the next round, which

1614
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:12,479
Speaker 1: is funny. Oral robertson Arkansas. M you know Bill Clinton's

1616
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 1: produce some mocks. Settled down. I figured I would make

1617
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:24,200
Speaker 1: a political joke. Yeah, I so I tried to get

1618
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:27,639
Speaker 1: the snow the snow Princess, and I watched and uh,

1619
01:34:27,680 --> 01:34:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, she's I was. I was in charge of

1620
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 1: Tolula this weekend again. She toulu is actually with me

1621
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 1: now the French bulldog. For anybody who doesn't know, Debrah

1622
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:38,240
Speaker 1: is the girlfriend to Lula is the French bulldog. And

1623
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 1: and we tried to watch a new show. It was

1624
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:44,559
Speaker 1: called zero zero zero on Amazon. It's okay, we're kind

1625
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 1: of getting it. But but she she was it was

1626
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:49,160
Speaker 1: a little intense. It's like drug cartels, a lot of violence,

1627
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 1: so she wanted to switch. I said, all right, so

1628
01:34:51,560 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 1: let's just find something we can both watch. And of course,

1629
01:34:55,160 --> 01:34:58,960
Speaker 1: because you know, a happy snow princess, happy life. I

1630
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:03,160
Speaker 1: we find some movie on It was on Netflix, and

1631
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 1: it has one of the women from Sex in the

1632
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 1: City in it. And I can't really explain it other

1633
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:12,200
Speaker 1: than it's kind of a thriller about a really pretty

1634
01:35:13,200 --> 01:35:18,360
Speaker 1: babysitter who's like twenty, who is kind of crazy and

1635
01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:22,519
Speaker 1: like has a split personality thing. Anyway, and we watched

1636
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 1: this thing, and I will tell you it got It

1637
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 1: started out like it was a gonna be that bad.

1638
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:29,320
Speaker 1: Like I just wanted to lie on the couch, you know,

1639
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 1: drink my tea, be with the girlfriend and the French

1640
01:35:32,160 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 1: bulldog and be happy. I didn't really care where we're

1641
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 1: watching and this wasn't her choice, but this was We

1642
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 1: tried to find that sweet spot for what a guy

1643
01:35:39,439 --> 01:35:41,720
Speaker 1: and a gal could watch together. And I figured, all right,

1644
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:44,759
Speaker 1: you know, well this this will have to do. And

1645
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 1: we turned this thing on and people, remember, people paid

1646
01:35:48,320 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 1: money for this. Okay, it's called Oh my gosh, I

1647
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 1: can't I can't even remember what this thing is called.

1648
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 1: Um you know what I've got a while we're here,

1649
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: I've got to look it up. It's Kristin Davis from

1650
01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 1: Sex in the City. And it's so so deadly illusions,

1651
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: deadly illusions. It's called Producer Mark. I'm not it is

1652
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:19,000
Speaker 1: so bad. It is so so bad. I mean, just

1653
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:22,599
Speaker 1: from your description, I'm wondering why you even chose it. Well,

1654
01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it looked like a thriller, and

1655
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 1: you know it wasn't gonna be. I mean, at one

1656
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,479
Speaker 1: point they actually they do the voiceover thing kind of

1657
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 1: where they make her voice sound all distorted and scary

1658
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:36,759
Speaker 1: when she's going crazy. It's but it was great because

1659
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:38,679
Speaker 1: it got to that point. The reason I'm talking about

1660
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 1: it's it got to that point as a movie where

1661
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 1: it was so bad that I was actually laughing out loud.

1662
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 1: Like it. It jumped the shark to the point where

1663
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 1: it became hilarious. Toward the end, You're like, this is

1664
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,120
Speaker 1: the worst thing I've ever seen, Like this is now

1665
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,879
Speaker 1: it's like a bunch of bad you know, college actors

1666
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 1: or something got together to make a whole movie. Or

1667
01:36:57,000 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 1: it's just so bad so and it's on a It

1668
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:01,639
Speaker 1: was on Netflix. I'm sure they probably you know, spend

1669
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:03,960
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars to make this piece of trash. It

1670
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 1: was a Netflix original. Yeah, wow, mm hmm. They're they're

1671
01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:11,920
Speaker 1: very hit or miss with the Netflix, very hit or miss,

1672
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 1: very hit or miss. There's so much somebody likes it.

1673
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 1: There's gotta be somebody out there that enjoyed that movie. Well,

1674
01:37:18,160 --> 01:37:19,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of ladies will just watch it

1675
01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 1: for the Sex and the City lady Kristin Davis, because

1676
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 1: she has quite a following from from that show. Um,

1677
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 1: and she's a bit you know, she's probably in her

1678
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:30,559
Speaker 1: fifties now, she's a little bit older than she was

1679
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:33,200
Speaker 1: back in the Sex and the City days. Um, some

1680
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 1: of the gentlemen watching this would probably like them. She's

1681
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,519
Speaker 1: playing college age, but she you know, like twenty I

1682
01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:42,599
Speaker 1: think she says or twenty one. She is in the show,

1683
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 1: and you know, he's probably like twenty seven or something.

1684
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 1: Some of the dudes out there might enjoy that aspect

1685
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:52,840
Speaker 1: of the movie because she is um. You know, people

1686
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:56,640
Speaker 1: might pize. Some people would think I'm not saying me obviously,

1687
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 1: I only have eyes for one, but some people may

1688
01:37:59,760 --> 01:38:04,600
Speaker 1: think that she's esthetically pleasing so of some of the

1689
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 1: guys out there. So I'm just saying it didn't seem

1690
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 1: like it was gonna be one of the world. I mean,

1691
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:11,200
Speaker 1: it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen, I

1692
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:12,960
Speaker 1: will say that, but it was so bad that it

1693
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 1: was funny. It's bad in the way that leperkn five

1694
01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: Leperkon in the Hood is bad. For those who are wondering,

1695
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:23,840
Speaker 1: that's a real movie. By the way, the LEPrecon actually

1696
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:26,799
Speaker 1: at one point is in a hip hop club smoking

1697
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:29,760
Speaker 1: a I believe, smoking a blunt in the bathroom. That's

1698
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,719
Speaker 1: a thing that happens. I mean, it's a really bad movie,

1699
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,320
Speaker 1: but you know, sometimes sometimes so bad it's good, is

1700
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,200
Speaker 1: the thing. That's all I'm trying to say. Is it

1701
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:41,960
Speaker 1: like Jack and Jill bad? What is that? Oh? The

1702
01:38:42,040 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 1: Adam Sandler movie where he plays his own twin sister.

1703
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:50,000
Speaker 1: M No, but Adam Adam Sandler, you know when from

1704
01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:53,760
Speaker 1: went from greatness in the comedy world too. There are

1705
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:55,600
Speaker 1: movies that I think even he would admit that he

1706
01:38:55,680 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: wished that he could probably erase from existence. I think

1707
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,640
Speaker 1: that's a real thing. Some of them are really, really,

1708
01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:07,400
Speaker 1: really bad. I try to just remember the one from that, Yeah,

1709
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:09,840
Speaker 1: just You're just the best one of all time? Is

1710
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:14,280
Speaker 1: Adam Sendler movie? What is it? I don't know how

1711
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:17,639
Speaker 1: I choose here. I'm always a partial, a big daddy

1712
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:19,680
Speaker 1: because I love that. When I was a kid, I

1713
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 1: go Happy Gilmore. That's a solid choice. I could say

1714
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:25,920
Speaker 1: the water Boils. I really love that one, Like I

1715
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 1: feel like, the most quotable, the most outrageous, the one

1716
01:39:28,520 --> 01:39:30,920
Speaker 1: that really sticks in your mind the most, you know,

1717
01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean it had Bob Barker for having sakes. Is

1718
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:37,439
Speaker 1: Happy Gilmore and that big guy who's like, and I'll

1719
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:40,840
Speaker 1: see you in the parking lot. Remember that? Yeah, so

1720
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 1: Happy Gilmore is a good one. All right, all right,

1740
01:40:41,880 --> 01:40:44,640
Speaker 1: listen to this guy. He is worth your time. I

1741
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 1: don't think there's a stronger radio show out there right now,

1742
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 1: and I think if you the more people. Our issue

1743
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 1: is not do people like this show. Our issue is

1744
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 1: just getting more and more people to know about this

1745
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,360
Speaker 1: show across the country because then this becomes their show.

1746
01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't. But I don't have a five million dollars

1747
01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 1: or even a one million dollar marketing But I have

1748
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:05,519
Speaker 1: no marketing budget. I mean, I just do a show.

1749
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:09,000
Speaker 1: So we do a show and people spread the word

1750
01:41:09,040 --> 01:41:11,640
Speaker 1: about it. And what the reason we keep growing is

1751
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:13,639
Speaker 1: because our ratings in every market we're in, our ratings

1752
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:16,400
Speaker 1: are really strong. People listen, right, and we thank all

1753
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 1: of our affiliates for carrying the show, and also everybody

1754
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:24,280
Speaker 1: who's listening on digital, whether it's in the iHeartRadio app

1755
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:29,439
Speaker 1: or to the podcast. So Richard, right, I enjoy the

1756
01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:33,400
Speaker 1: show every day, no exceptions. I utilize the podcast for convenience.

1757
01:41:33,439 --> 01:41:35,720
Speaker 1: I listen in the early afternoons when I used to

1758
01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:38,280
Speaker 1: listen to Rush. I encourage others to listen to pass

1759
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 1: along the buck web page when I have the opportunity. Well, Richard,

1760
01:41:41,520 --> 01:41:43,600
Speaker 1: that is so helpful and we really do appreciate it,

1761
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:45,760
Speaker 1: so thank you very much for that. I live in

1762
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:48,879
Speaker 1: the mountains of North Carolina, west of the Marxist enclave

1763
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:52,200
Speaker 1: known as Asheville. This is a conservative area in a

1764
01:41:52,320 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 1: very purple state, a substantial arts scene, and more breweries

1765
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:59,200
Speaker 1: per capita than any location in the US, not far

1766
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:02,840
Speaker 1: from the National Mark and minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

1767
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 1: If Team back wants to make a trip to this

1768
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:09,360
Speaker 1: version of God's Country, I can guarantee you great scenery, hiking, angling,

1769
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,559
Speaker 1: and good barbecue with relative anonymity. Definitely better than what

1770
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,759
Speaker 1: you've endured on the coast. Have you tried Brunswick stew

1771
01:42:17,360 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 1: Some folks may recognize your voice, but even your great

1772
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 1: hair will not disclose your identity. You should give hockey

1773
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 1: viewing a try. Mark is correct. However, watch the Blackhawks,

1774
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:29,120
Speaker 1: not the New York teams. Keep up the good work,

1775
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 1: all right, Mark to you first the Blackhawks. What's going

1776
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 1: on here? I mean, Chicago was a dynasty for a while,

1777
01:42:35,360 --> 01:42:37,600
Speaker 1: but they're in a bit of a rebuild. They're not

1778
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:40,800
Speaker 1: so good anymore. So okay, not the team, how big

1779
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:45,200
Speaker 1: it like like a Bulls, Lakers, Patriots kind of dynasty.

1780
01:42:45,200 --> 01:42:48,839
Speaker 1: Are not quite there. I mean, hockey is so different

1781
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 1: in terms of like you're never gonna get that dominant

1782
01:42:51,040 --> 01:42:52,840
Speaker 1: team like you would in basketball that will win five

1783
01:42:52,880 --> 01:42:55,719
Speaker 1: in a row, but you'll win three championships in seven years.

1784
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 1: That's a hockey dynasty, fair enough? All right? Well that's

1785
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:02,080
Speaker 1: Richards by the way, I looked at did you see

1786
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 1: what Yankees tickets are going for, like way way deep

1787
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 1: in you know, upper upper deck territory or whatever, because

1788
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:13,720
Speaker 1: of all the distancing and everything else. The tickets on

1789
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:15,720
Speaker 1: like four hundred dollars for like a bad for a

1790
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:17,800
Speaker 1: bad seat. Well, I'm guessing you're looking at like the

1791
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 1: secondary market, not directly from the Yankees. Yeah, yeah, of course,

1792
01:43:21,360 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 1: because it's only twenty percent capacity, right, So I'm just

1793
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:27,000
Speaker 1: saying it's yeah, yeah, no, I know, but I'm just

1794
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:29,640
Speaker 1: saying it. People they think they can get for it.

1795
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you can sit, you know up where like

1796
01:43:32,360 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 1: buzzards are going to be ten feet above your head,

1797
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,599
Speaker 1: like that part of the upper deck, and you're paying

1798
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars or something like that a ticket for

1799
01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:41,559
Speaker 1: the Yankee stadium right now, which to me is just nuts.

1800
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:44,600
Speaker 1: I will wait until it's more affordable and bigger capacity

1801
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:46,800
Speaker 1: to go to a Mets game. I wouldn't I'm not

1802
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:48,400
Speaker 1: definitely not going to a Yankee game in the middle

1803
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 1: of a pandemic. I definitely don't think you're gonna pay

1804
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:52,560
Speaker 1: four hundred dollars to go see a Yankee game in

1805
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:54,120
Speaker 1: the middle of pandemic. It's not worth it for me.

1806
01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:56,599
Speaker 1: It'll reduce capacities to the yank What would what would

1807
01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:58,600
Speaker 1: your New York Baseball Mets think about that? You know

1808
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:00,640
Speaker 1: they would be very sad. Exactly. Well, if I'm going

1809
01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 1: to spend money and take the time and you know,

1810
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 1: go through all the process that is going to a

1811
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:07,600
Speaker 1: sporting event right now, I'm going to do it for

1812
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:10,439
Speaker 1: the Mets. Fair enough, and Richard, as for the Mountain

1813
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:13,479
Speaker 1: of North Carolina, sounds great, although interesting that you say

1814
01:44:13,479 --> 01:44:16,280
Speaker 1: that Asheville is a Marxist enclave. I thought I thought

1815
01:44:16,320 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 1: Asheville wouldn't be that left wing. But you know, what

1816
01:44:19,320 --> 01:44:21,400
Speaker 1: do I know? Learning about this stuff all the time?

1817
01:44:22,280 --> 01:44:24,719
Speaker 1: Mark not to be confused with producer Mark. First listening

1818
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 1: out in Panama City after Hurricane Michael in twenty eighteen,

1819
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:29,840
Speaker 1: you seem to make a lot of sense talking about

1820
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 1: the Iranian drone shootdown. Later, hearing you talking about your

1821
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:35,439
Speaker 1: time in Iraq, I knew we'd had some of the

1822
01:44:35,479 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 1: same experiences. Anyway, you're doing the Lord's work fighting back

1823
01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: against COVID silliness. Silliness. You keep talking up Florida. How

1824
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 1: about visiting Georgia sometime where I live now. It's going

1825
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:45,920
Speaker 1: to need a lot of work to keep it from

1826
01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 1: going blue. Our governor is quietly keeping the economy open

1827
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:51,800
Speaker 1: and running things fairly well. It's not going to go

1828
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 1: well if it goes south. But no one's talking about this.

1829
01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:58,719
Speaker 1: Love producer, Mark, and try listening to some Dua Lippa.

1830
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 1: She's not bad. What does Dua Lippa Dua Lipa? Oh,

1831
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 1: he's a current pop artists. Really, Yes, I had never

1832
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 1: heard of that before. All right, so it's a female singer. Yeah, no,

1833
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:14,559
Speaker 1: I get that. I mean I figured that was probably

1834
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:18,520
Speaker 1: the case. But do you do you celebrate du Alipa's

1835
01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:20,600
Speaker 1: whole catalog? Oh? I mean I know a couple of

1836
01:45:20,640 --> 01:45:22,720
Speaker 1: her songs, but you know, I'm not really a fan

1837
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:25,880
Speaker 1: of anyone that's new and current. Yeah, that makes that

1838
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:30,880
Speaker 1: makes sense. Um. And then as for Georgia, I always

1839
01:45:30,880 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 1: tell you guys, I love Savannah. I think Savannah as

1840
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:36,640
Speaker 1: a gem of a of a town. That's really the

1841
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:39,960
Speaker 1: only place in Georgia I've been in recent years. I

1842
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,640
Speaker 1: haven't been to Georgia much. I was in Atlanta for

1843
01:45:43,920 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 1: one night maybe four years ago, and barely got any

1844
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:52,559
Speaker 1: real Atlanta time in and then uh yeah, and then

1845
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:55,640
Speaker 1: I've had I've been to Savannah. I think I've been

1846
01:45:55,640 --> 01:45:58,760
Speaker 1: to Savannah two or three times the last four years.

1847
01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 1: So I really, I really do enjoy Savanna a lot though.

1848
01:46:01,520 --> 01:46:05,560
Speaker 1: Great food, great people, such a pretty town. And I

1849
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,320
Speaker 1: like all the ghost story Laura and all that as well.

1850
01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:12,479
Speaker 1: That's kind of fun. You know, Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans,

1851
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:16,559
Speaker 1: those are three of my favorite places in that part

1852
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 1: of the Jed. I know that's covering a lot of territory,

1853
01:46:19,400 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 1: but in that part of the country. So have you

1854
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 1: ever been their producer, Mark? Those those places to Savannah, Georgia. No,

1855
01:46:25,400 --> 01:46:29,200
Speaker 1: I have been to near Augusta, yeah, Georgia, but I

1856
01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: haven't been anywhere to Savannah. No. Yeah, here we already

1857
01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:40,200
Speaker 1: a Gustia big hitter. The Llama flowing robes remember that. No, Yes, okay,

1858
01:46:40,280 --> 01:46:45,040
Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, I'm just saying, all right, Jim Bucker, producer, Mark,

1859
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:50,480
Speaker 1: I catch you on iHeartRadio on KFBX nine seventy and Fairbanks, Alaska.

1860
01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:53,680
Speaker 1: Whoo up in Alaska, baby, that's how we like it.

1861
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:56,080
Speaker 1: You and Tucker Carlson are the two voices I go

1862
01:46:56,160 --> 01:46:59,000
Speaker 1: to these days. I miss I missed the greatest of

1863
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,680
Speaker 1: all time, rogh. But you you carry the baton admirably

1864
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:06,679
Speaker 1: public speaking courses almost without fail. This scourage distracting filler

1865
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:10,879
Speaker 1: words like uh and um while speaking. It's becoming increasingly

1866
01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:14,599
Speaker 1: difficult to listen to Saki's press conference when practically every

1867
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:17,640
Speaker 1: other word is uh and um. My impression is that

1868
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 1: she's either lying or just making it up as she

1869
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:23,320
Speaker 1: goes rhetorically. How do people this an app get to

1870
01:47:23,400 --> 01:47:27,639
Speaker 1: these positions? Shields high, Jim, I, and I don't say

1871
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,879
Speaker 1: this to be to be mean. I honestly don't understand

1872
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 1: how Jen Saki is the White House Press secretary. U.

1873
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:36,880
Speaker 1: See I just didn't numb, but I but see that

1874
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:39,600
Speaker 1: was a I need to pause to think, Um, that

1875
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:42,320
Speaker 1: wasn't a filler word um quite the same way. I

1876
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:44,760
Speaker 1: really did have to um for a minute there. I

1877
01:47:44,800 --> 01:47:46,559
Speaker 1: don't have an answer as to how she has that job.

1878
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:53,519
Speaker 1: It strikes me as strange that she's in that role.

1879
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 1: She was the State Department spokeswoman before, so yeah, now

1880
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 1: she's the White House White House Press secretary. So you know,

1881
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:05,519
Speaker 1: there was a really interesting article I saw of the

1882
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: weekend about all the people that were in the Biden

1883
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean in the Obama administration, who now have become

1884
01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 1: really rich as a result of what they got. See,

1885
01:48:16,400 --> 01:48:17,920
Speaker 1: I just did another Now I'm very aware of it,

1886
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 1: as a result of what they got in terms of

1887
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:25,280
Speaker 1: corporate connections and board seats and speaker feeds and all

1888
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 1: these things after being in the after being in the

1889
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 1: Obama White House or tied to the Obama administration. So

1890
01:48:31,520 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 1: it's a big it's big business, big money for folks.

1891
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 1: That's Jensaki also went from almost no, according to this

1892
01:48:40,400 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 1: the financial disclosures, almost no net assets, net worth. What's

1893
01:48:44,160 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 1: it was something like fifty you know, thirty to fifty

1894
01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:49,040
Speaker 1: thirty to one hundred grand in total assets, I think

1895
01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 1: is what she listed when she went to work at

1896
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:53,280
Speaker 1: the State Department. So and look, I've been there before.

1897
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:55,120
Speaker 1: I was. I remember being thirty years old. I think

1898
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:59,080
Speaker 1: I had like two grand in my name. But now

1899
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:01,960
Speaker 1: she's worth a few million dollars, I think. So I said, oh, okay,

1900
01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 1: that''s a good night, nice career move, go work at

1901
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:07,840
Speaker 1: the work at the White House. Chrissy writes, question, who's

1902
01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:10,000
Speaker 1: really running the White House? What a mess? In sixty

1903
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:13,240
Speaker 1: days our country has become. This is brutal, especially when

1904
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:16,840
Speaker 1: Harris removes Biden Chrissy. I say it on bucksxton dot

1905
01:49:16,880 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 1: com today, Go check it out. I mean, this is

1906
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:21,800
Speaker 1: the I Told you so part of the Biden presidency.

1907
01:49:22,760 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 1: This is where we said, yeah, this is what's going

1908
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:26,679
Speaker 1: to happen. And it's happening as we said it would.

1909
01:49:27,320 --> 01:49:30,880
Speaker 1: And the Democrats just don't care. They have their guy.

1910
01:49:31,040 --> 01:49:33,960
Speaker 1: They think they're getting their way to them. That is

1911
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 1: ultimately what matters. Everything else. Everything else really just feels

1912
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,240
Speaker 1: like noise to them. So I think we should all

1913
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:45,880
Speaker 1: be very clear eyed about that. And this is about power, folks,

1914
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:48,320
Speaker 1: this is about control. We're gonna have another great show

1915
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 1: for you to barn every day this week until then

1916
